How Does The Wind Get Fit And Healthy?... Air Conditioning!

Weather Prediction Failure

It was great to be back at the Lumby and District Public Market this last Saturday. Having caught up a wee bit in the greenhouse and with the ripening of some Tomatoes and other goodies and with a few plants I had a nice variety of goods for sale.

It was wonderful seeing my fellow vendors and many of the people who make our day. I’m sure I kept many people amused with my flapping and running from the wasps but having been bitten 3 times now I can’t seem to stand there and calmly let them fly around me.

The weather was a little cool and the wind created some havoc but it turned into a lovely afternoon.

There were a couple of new vendors this last weekend including a wine sampling booth which I am sorry to say I did not get a chance to experience, I hope they

will be there again next week.

Everyone is experiencing the typical problems of gardening mainly deer and the slow or non production of some plants. Every year some plants do really well and some not so well. The cool wet spring certainly caused a few problems especially with fruit trees and some vegetable plants although I am amazed at the production of peppers this year as was several other people growing them but once the temperatures went up they flourished, they do like it hot.

I can’t believe the production of my raspberry patch this year amazing nor the fact that my huge plum tree has only three plums on it. I’ve seen some plum trees that have a powdery mildew problem and the harvest is certainly reflecting on how it affects the tree.

This fall when the tree has shed its leaves they should be all raked up and burned if possible or removed as this will not be good to use for garden bed cover or compost. I went back over the Farmers Almanac for this year and although they were correct in some predictions others were not even close.

For late August and through to October it is predicted that our temperatures will be near normal with more rain although I don’t see any rain fore-casted in the next 10 days on any of the weather channels that I follow. I hope the Farmers Almanac is a little more on track with the cooler and rainier as we sure could use both. For this winter it is predicted that the weather should be warmer and with less snowfall. The coldest periods will be late December and early January and if their predictions are correct we should be thankful to live in BC as the prairies and east coast are predicted to take a beating with both the cold and snowfall.

Happy Gardening!

September is National Pain Awareness Month

Throughout our lifetime everyone has experienced some form of pain. Pain is the body's way of letting you know something is wrong, or you need to stop doing something, like if you have a sprained ankle and you keep walking on it, pain might shoot up your leg.

Your pain is telling you to stop.

There are different forms of pain. Also people have a different pain level tolerance, the pain you feel from walking on your foot with a sprained ankle may be different than the person beside you with the exact same injury.

Acute Pain: Remember when you fell off your bicycle, and you scraped your knees? How about when you got a paper cut, a small burn, you sprained your ankle, broke a bone, went into labour or had a toothache? These are all called normal or acute pain. Acute pain can last from a few seconds to a few months. For some acute pain there is no need to see the doctor, but for other acute pain you need to see the doctor as soon as possible. With acute pain usually once the injury or the illness has gone, so will the pain. However acute pain can also turn into chronic pain if for some reason the injury did not heal properly , or if your pain signals are out of whack.

vous system from chronic pain. This type of pain can be continuous, or intermittent lasting longer than six months it can last years. Chronic pain can continue to cause issues even when the injury or illness that had caused the pain to begin with has gone away.

Health & Nutrition

Back to School – Healthy Habits - Part 2

Other than adequate sleep and good nutrition, physical activity is another extremely important factor for school aged kids and adolescents. A study out of Denmark found that exercise had an even bigger impact than simply just incorporating a healthy breakfast and lunch. Kids that walked, biked, ran... to school had a heightened concentration for up to 4 hours longer than those that were driven to school.

Aerobically fit children consistently outperform their inactive and unfit peers academically on both a shortand a long-term basis. Time spent engaged in physical activity is related not only to a healthier body but also to enriched cognitive development and lifelong brain health. The strongest relationships have been found between aerobic fitness and performance in mathematics, reading, and English.

Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology guidelines recommend 180 minutes a day of physical activities for children ages 1 to 4, and 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity per day for 5- to 17-year-olds • Less than one-quarter (24%) of children 6 to 17 years of age participate in 60 minutes of physical activity every day.

• In 2017, only 26.1% of high school students participate in at least 60 minutes per day of physical activity on all 7 days of the previous week.

• In 2017, 51.1% of high school students participated in muscle strengthening exercises (e.g., push-ups, sit-ups, weight lifting) on 3 or more days during the previous week • In 2017, 51.7% of high school students attended physical education classes in an average week, and only 29.9% of high school students attended physical education classes daily.

Although when it comes to organized sports participation is high. Although when COVID hit Statistics Canada showed that everything took a hit and numbers even fell lower. But as things are looking more pre-pandemic, the numbers are still not where they

need to be. Below are some ways to help towards getting students meet their recommended daily amount of activity: • Encourage walking, biking, running, scootering to school – for the younger children model as a family and go all together.

• Get them to be in charge of walking or running with the dog if there is one in the house • Have them do physical chores as raking the leaves, shoveling snow, mowing the lawn and or carrying the groceries. Obviously making sure whatever task is age appropriate.

• Encourage them to dance to their favourite music • Replace computer and TV time with something active • Take younger kids to the playground or to the park to play Health Benefits • Opportunities for socializing • Improve fitness • Increased concentration • Better academic scores • Stronger heart, bones and healthier muscles • Healthy growth and development • Improved self-esteem • Better posture and balance • Lower stress There are also different levels and types of activity.

Moderate aerobic activity - makes you breathe harder and your heart beat faster. You should be able to talk, but not sing. Examples of activities would include speed walking, skating, skateboarding and bike riding.

Vigorous aerobic activity – makes heart rate increase even more and you will only be able to say a few words before losing your breath. Examples of activities would include running, basketball, soccer and cross-country skiing.

Strengthening activities - help build up your muscles. Some examples would include activities as running, jumping rope, hiking, body weight exercise or with gym equipment for the older kids and for younger children playing on playground equipment.

To achieve health benefits, both aerobic and strengthening activities are important. https://sciencenordic.com/children-and-adolescents-denmark-exercise/children-who-walk-to-schoolconcentrate-better/1379550 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK201501/ https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/82625-x/2019001/article/00003-eng.htm Mikkie Pollon (Nettles), Certified Personal Trainer/Holistic & Sports Nutritionist Follow DEEM Health on Facebook, www.deemhealth.ca or contact info@deemhealth.ca

Colleen’s Corner

By Colleen Fielding

Welcome to Colleen’s Corner. This is a column meant for fun and some information About myself: I am a Freelance Photographer you often see me on the side of the road or in various places taking photos of different things animals, birds, places, people etc. l have lived in Lumby just over 8 years,you have seen my photos in the newspaper (Lumby Valley Times) and once in awhile in the Vernon Morning Star, and the Lumby Art Gallery. Photography is my passion. Disclaimer: The information on some of my photos that I write about a lot of times come from the Internet or books I research them, hopefully the facts are as close to the truth as I can come.

Sometimes It's The Smallest Things That Make You Thankful The last couple of weeks for me have been a little stressful for different reasons.

Then at the market this week it was so windy things blew completely off of my table breaking a few of my items, one of my stands went from the front of the table, to the back then on the ground all in one gust of wind. The wind would come and blow things off my table, and as soon as the wind died down I would pick up my things and place them back on their stands. I ended up putting some things back into my car, instead of having them on display. It would be fine for a few minutes, the wind would stop.

DUE TO BRIDGE UPGRADES, Then, Whoosh! There it was again, each THE INCHES FSR WILL BE CLOSED at 7km time the wind blew it was stronger than the last time. Even though I had weights on the botSeptember 19th tom of my tent to hold it down they didn't seem to through to September 30, 2022 work well. Myself and the other vendors were constantly grabbing the legs of their tents to give them Direct comments to more stability. I thought for sure it must have been a Phone: 250-547-1300 small hurricane. Some other people that were at the (Reference Inches FSR Closure) market would help the vendors by helping hold on to the legs. It was wild.

We had really bad wind at the market a couple of weeks ago, but last Saturday was extremely windy, Lumby’s Good Neighbour and cold.

Bylaw No. 838, states, “Each There are four letter words at the market homeowner is responsible which could be considfor Boulevard and Lane ered as swear words the Maintenance”. 10.3. Every way they can affect our owner of real property shall: market: Heat (too much of it) Hail, Snow, Rain, • maintain and remove obstructions from the sidewalk, boulevard, Cold, and of course and lane adjacent to his or her property; Wind.

• keep grassed areas trimmed to the standards of Section 10.7, and reasonably free of weeds; • where directed by the Village, cut, trim or remove any tree, fence, hedge or other item that obstructs or could reasonably be expected to obstruct the vision or safety of all pedestrians, cyclists, or vehicles using streets or sidewalks adjacent to the property;

By the end of the day I felt tired and stressed and possibly a little defeated, after all it is hard to fight Mother Nature. There are more than a few things that I will have to fix or remake from the damage the wind had caused to my items. As I packed up my car, I was actually glad it was the end of the day and time to go home and put my feet up and catch up on some shows I haven't seen for awhile.

Right at the end, Sam, the lady that sells flowers and some veggies who has her tent beside me, gave me a bouquet of flowers. It was wonderful, I told her " Thank you! You just made my day."

She really did, it was one of those small things that make you thankful, and grateful.

Thank you again Sam, the flowers are sitting on my table, making me smile when I look at them.

New Funding Helps Make Back-To-School More Affordable For Families That Need It Most

The Province is helping make back-to-school more affordable for students and their families who are struggling with rising costs of living due to global inflation.

Through the Student and Family Affordability Fund, $60 million will help school districts make sure students are fed and have the school supplies they need to be successful this year.

"Many families in B.C. are feeling the effects of global inflation on daily costs, including groceries, school supplies and other school expenses," said Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Education and Child Care.

"We're taking action by providing more funding that school districts will use to help meet the needs of families and students."

The one-time funding will be provided directly to school districts to help them expand school meal programs, make sure students have the school supplies

they need and cover any additional fees so that students in need can take part in activities, such as field trips.

Districts will work with with parent advisory councils and school communities, as well as local First Nations and other Indigenous organizations, regarding local priorities that will best meet the needs of diverse student populations.

In addition to the $60 million for school districts, $3.8 million will be provided through the Federation of Independent School Associations (FISA) to support families struggling with increasing costs and that access education through independent school authorities.

The funding is the first step in government's commitment to make sure students are properly fed for learning and to work with school districts to support the expansion of food and meal programs. It builds on $55 million in annual funding provided to districts through the Ministry of Education and Child Care's

CommunityLINK initiative, which funds breakfast, lunch and snack programs, academic supports, counselling, youth workers and after-school programs.

This announcement is part of a number of measures that the Minister of Finance will announce next week to help those hardest hit during this time of high global inflation.

Quick Facts: • Government is investing $7.4 billion in K-12 education in 2022-23, which is $1.8 billion more than in 2016-17.

• Budget 2022 provides $250 million more funding for public schools than Budget 2021, and with the one-time $60 million provided through the Student and Family Affordability Fund, this increases to $310 million for public schools.

• Through the Student and Family Affordability Fund, every school district will receive a minimum of $250,000.

Notes From the Lumby Public Market Wow, I don't know what's going on with our crazy weather lately, this past weekend at the market the wind hit us again. It was really bad this time. I thought maybe we were in the beginning of a Hurricane or something like that. Things were blowing off the vendors' tables even those that had heavy stands. Sure, the heat has been better, but it would be great if the wind held off until the market was over and the vendors had gone home.

This past weekend we had Dustin come in for his great wine that he makes in Cherryville at his licencened Winery.

We have so many wonderful items at our market come and check us out.

Beautiful Crystals, Dream Catchers, Wooden items with great sayings, Fruits, and Vegetables, Garlic, Popcorn, Young Living, Flowers, Jams, Jewelry, Watkins, Photography, Popcorn, Quilts, Knitting and Crochet items, Tupperware, Epicure, Victorian Lace, Resin Work, Gel Moment, Butterfly Clips, Barn Wood Crafts, Bannock, don't forget

to stop by the Monashee Art Councils tent as they always have great free classes and demos.You will also find Books, Pottery, Tarot Card readings, and so much more.

If the heat reaches 35 celsius or higher, or if there is a lot of smoke, or other circumstances beyond our control we try to find other ways to keep the market open, this could include possible shorter hours . If we can go indoors somewhere, then we will.

Don't forget our famous Buttertart festival will be September 24 2022!

If you would like to be a vendor at our market email us at lumbymarket@gmail.com
