Farming Funnies

• Why do cows have hooves instead of feet? Because they lactose!

• As farmers, we hear a lot of jokes about sheep. We’d tell them to the dog, but he’d herd them all!

• What did the farmer say when his fat pig wouldn’t fit into the pen? “There’s more there than meets the sty.”

• Why did the pig take a bath? The farmer said “hogwash”!

• Why were the baby strawberries crying? Their ma and pa were in a jam.

• What did the neurotic pig say to the farmer? “You take me for grunted.”

• Why shouldn’t you tell a secret on a farm? Because the potatoes have eyes and the corn has ears!

• What farm animal keeps the best time? A watch dog.

• How did the organic vegetable die? Natural causes.

• What did the mommy cow say to the baby cow? “It’s pasture bedtime!”

• Where does a farmer get his medicine from? The farm-acist.

• What kinds of pigs know karate? Pork chops.

• What kind of things does a farmer talk about when he is milking cows? Udder nonsense.

Letters to the editor

To the farmer growing GMO corn on Mabel Lake Road

Dear Sir,

I have been made aware that you are the person growing the P7574AM corn on Mabel Lake Road near Trinity Valley. I see a post where you praise the value of applying manure to increase soil health so I am hopeful that the information in this letter will find you open to its content.

The crop you are growing has been Genetically Modified to withstand repeated applications of Glyphosate, Atrazine, 2,4-D and a long list of other chemicals proven to cause cancers, birth defects, as well as predisposing to Obesity, Alzheimer's, Parkin son's,depression, autism, inflammatory bowel disease.

• Glyphosate infiltrates the brain and its application correlates positively with increased death rates due to Alzheimer’s disease and otherneurodegenerative disorders. See the recent study in the Journal of Neuroinflammation.

• Atrazine affects human health at extremely low doses. It is an endocrine disrupting chemical inter rupting regular hormone function and causing birth defects, tumors, breast, ovarian and uterine cancers as well as leukemia and lymphoma. It also has a direct impact on brain health. See International Jour nal of Ecosystems 2011. Also see AmosInstitute on Atrazine.

• Scientific studies link 2,4-D to certain types of cancer, birth defects, immunosuppression and other health impacts in highly exposed populations including farmers, farmworkers and farming commu nities. (https://usrtk.org/pesticides/2-4-d-healthconcerns/)

• And the list goes on….

It is unlikely that the people selling you the seeds and chemicals have made you aware of these health is

sues or told you of how they also affect the air, the soil, and the water. However most people in this area are – or should be - aware since years ago, as a co-founder of Bee SAFE (a group formed to keep local agriculture GMO free and safe from toxic chemicals) I gave nu merous presentations to RDNO to inform them of the health issues associated with GM crops and asking them to take action to ban them here.

As nothing had been done by 2012, Bee SAFE also opened an office in downtown Lumby to inform about the dangers of GM Crops, sold 500 Bee SAFE signs, showed numerous movies on agriculture and held local meetings inviting the whole community to discuss GM Crops.

In 2013, Bee SAFE held a vote in rural Lumby and in Cherryville asking whether people supported grow ing GM crops in our area and 93% of voters in Rural Lumby and 97% in Cherryville said NO. These re sults were then presented to RDNO with text for a bylaw changing our OCP to reflect this and a bylaw was passed in 2014.

And today Bayer AG has paid $10.9 billion US to settle thousands of U.S. lawsuits claiming that Roundup caused cancer, resolving litigation that has pummelled the company's share price.

There are hundreds of thousands of documented cases of cancers caused by Glyphosate (active ingredient in Roundup) and millions of undocumented cases of other health issues caused by this toxic agriculture.

This is all the proof we need that this agriculture has no place in our community.

I hope you will reconsider your choice of crops and join the growing number of farmers who choose healthy ways to grow.

With this incredible warm spell and the lack of rain caring for your lawn can be an expensive and thankless job. Thank heavens even though it is turning more brown than green be assured that it will bounce back once the weather cooperates. This is the time to give your lawn a good fertilizer with an addition of 2-4-D which is a hormone that will cause broad leafed weeds like Dandelion, Purslane and Chick Weed to grow rapidly then die off. Watering at this time should be done twice a week and deeply to prevent the lawn from going dormant and prevent powdery mildew.

Mid morning to late afternoon are good times to water and will allow enough time for the blades of grass to dry before nightfall. Now is also the time to plant a lawn either by seed or sod. A good mixture of

seed that will work for your lawn should be a mixture of Kentucky Blue Grass and other seeds recommended by a professional. Cheaper seed will have a higher content of Rye Grass which will die out over the winter and leave your lawn susceptible to weed infesta tions. I’ve noticed that I have an area where Fairy Ring has affected my lawn. This often will occur with a wet spring where fungi can readily grow and then will show its real damage once the weather has warmed and dried. These are rings in the lawn that are circular in appearance and are due to poor aeration and fertilization. These mushrooms thrive on the organic matter in the lawn that produce starch and sugars.

Once the rings have appeared you can count on around 8 inches of bullet hard earth that will have to

be pried open with a pitch fork and watered deeply as well as good application of fertilizer as this thick mat will prevent water and food from reaching the roots of the grass. This is caused by the root structure of the mushrooms. Be sure with this heat to mow your lawn on a high setting as no more than one half to one third of the lawn will be moved off at any given time. Be sure that your mower blades are sharpened well to prevent tearing of the grass blade.

I mentioned last week with the abundance of wasps and hornets that I would be trying a peppermint and olive oil mixture that I was informed would have them rapidly leaving the area that I am trying to claim as mine and my Humming Birds. Well they did leave but only briefly and came back with friends. I have now been bitten twice and although their populations are on the decline I have declared war.

I am basically caught up in my yard and greenhouse enough that I will be at the market on Saturday. Look forward to seeing you there!

If you have Gastriparesis your stomach muscles are not strong enough to work properly. Your stomach will take a very long time to empty your bowels, which will cause a delay to your digestive process.

Treatment for Gastriparesis could be as simple as a change in your diet, eating less fat, chewing your food more slowly and thoroughly, taking nutritional supplements, and having soft food that is fully cooked.

One person was safely arrested by police following an incident involving a firearm in Cherryville on Sunday morning.

On Sunday, August 21, 2022, at approximately 10:30 a.m., frontline officers from the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP attended a recreational site in the 400-block of Sugar Lake Road in Cherryville to look for a suspect in relation to an ongoing investigation. Shortly after their arrival, the officers encoun tered the man who was in possession of a firearm. Police contained the area and additional resources, including members of the RCMP’s Southeast District Emergency Response Team were called to assist at the scene.

At approximately 2:15 p.m., the man surrendered himself to police and was taken into custody safely and without incident.

The suspect, a 34-year old Vernon man, remains in custody and is expected to appear in court later today.

No injuries were reported as a result of this incident.

The Vernon North Okanagan RCMP would like to thank everyone impacted by this event for their co-operation as we worked to safely resolve this situation.

Back to School: Healthy Habits Part 1

School is around the corner and now is the time to start some of the back-to-school routines. Sleep is probably the hardest one to get back on track as the weather is still warm and the days are long. Eating and exercise most likely went off schedule.

Let’s look at a few tips to get back on track that will not only benefit the students but parents and grand parents alike.

1. Commit to enough sleep!

a. Set a regular sleep routine of when you go to bed and get up every morning.

b. Cut out on stimulating type foods as high sugar and caffeine in the evening.

c. Exercise regularly but try to limit more intense exercise to at least a couple hours before bed if possible.

d. Try to have a no electronics rule in the bedroom. Tech exposes a type of light that suppresses the body’s production of melatonin, our natural “sleep hormone”.

e. Keep the room cool

f. Teenagers – need more sleep = about 9 to 9½ hours per night. This is because teenagers are go

ing through a 2nd developmental stage of cogni tive maturation. An after-school nap is beneficial too and can help support their developing brain, physical growth spurts and even more importantly their mental health. This extra sleep could help protect them from such serious consequences as depression or drug use.

2. Proper Nutrition and Habits!

a. Start the day in sunshine - Having breakfast outside or by a sunny window helps regulate the body’s biological clock, making it easier to wake up in the morning.

b. Eat protein with some natural sugars, to have lasting energy. High protein plain yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit or eggs and toast. Oatmeal with nuts, seeds and fruit could be an option too.

c. Have well planned nutritious snacks that help energy and the brain.

i. Nuts and seeds have vitamin E, which has antioxidant properties that help reduce oxidative stress on the brain.

ii. Apples and other fruits give energy in the way of sugar, but in natural state that lasts

longer than their pure sugar form - juice. They're rich in fiber and antioxidants, that improve brain and gut health.

iii. Tuna snack packs are also great in that it is convenient but also contains omega 3 fatty acids, which boost brainpower.

iv. Dark chocolate - 72% or higher, is rich in antioxidants that help prevent oxida tive stress. The high-cocao content may help boost cognition, memory, mood, and immunity. It also contains zinc, which is

The Egyptians, had used murals in the tombs. Find ing's of the ruins Murals were found in  Pompeii Italy.

Happening Now: Fibre – Art of Life

Fibre is familiar and surrounds us. We spend our days inside fibre; clothing ourselves with it. We also sleep beneath and above it; spending our nights with it too. This very familiarity can cause us to overlook the importance of the fibre we surround ourselves with. William Morris, believed that the medieval crafts man with his inherited, traditional skills and high standards or workmanship was able to derive real plea sure from his work – so different from the drudgery of the machine-bound factory worker – and thereby convey the same sense of pleasure to the user/viewer.

Many of our fibre arts are not only beautiful items; crafted by talented, local hands but are also functional pieces that can bring the pleasure of the artist to ev eryday activities…from the naturally- coloured gloves; spun, knit and harvested from local Shetland Sheep, which make every walk a little cozier…to the woven items made by weavers creating beautiful patterns to

d. Eat enough food for the amount of activity or stage of life. If you have a teenager at home it may seem like all your hard-earned money is going to food to feed them. It all goes back to the growth spurt their body is go-

ing through and the extra nutrients the body requires during this time. Be cautious as this is also the time where many teens tend to gorge on “junk foods”. This is because it is convenient, cheap, and is satisfying, as sugar is like a drug to the brain, it has the same effect if not worse on the brain as cocaine. Problem is they are not feeding their body in a way that is nourishing for their bodies or brain.

we would like people to know about us is, that we are going to be making the main lodge available for corporate retreats for fall, winter and Spring. The corporate retreat includes the main lodge and the 7 cabins. So the entire property will be made available for companies who want to treat their leaders/employees to an experience unlike any other while rejuvenating them.

Call for Artists – Pop up Exhibition – From the Kitchen ‘Food is culture. Food is identity, a footprint of who you are’ –Lidia Bastianich (Italian-American celebrity chef)

Food; it is something we partake of everyday, not just as a means of sustenance, but as part of our very culture, it tells the story of who we are. From our first day it becomes an integral part of who we are, influ enced by our childhoods, heritage, cultures and expe-

riences throughout life. We offer a glimpse into ourselves by our views of food.

Join Artists in celebrating food in all its forms as it passed through our kitchens. Whether it’s canning for use year round, baked into pies, savory or sweet, or just a simple garden salad. Join us in what is often considered harvest season for an out door exhibition of art and food.

Join us for this one day pop up Artist Ex hibition show, in the back parking lot of the Village Gallery September 24th/2022

Application deadline; September 22nd.
