Just for Fun It's Hunting Season!

• I like drinking a couple of beers while I hunt, my friends call me an elkholic.

• Two hunters were dragging their dead deer back to their car. Another hunter approached pulling his along too.

“Hey, I don’t want to tell you how to do something ... but I can tell you that it’s much easier if you drag the deer in the other direction. Then the antlers won’t dig into the ground.”

After the third hunter left, the two decided to try it.

A little while later one hunter said to the other, “You know, that guy was right. This is a lot easier!”

“Yeah, but we’re getting farther from the truck,” the other added.

• Bob, a hunter, went on camping trip with his wife, kids, and mother-in-law. One evening, while still deep in the forrest, the Mrs awoke to find her mother gone.

Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her mother.

Bob picked up his rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and started to look for her.

In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large bear stood facing her.

The wife cried, “What are we going to do?”

“Nothing,” said the hunter husband.

“The bear got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it.”

How Do You Send A Caterpillar One Hundred Feet Into The Air?... Turn It Upside Down!

Tent Caterpillars

This last weekend has been horrendous for the smoke which we were fortunately able to avoid in this area till now. Be cautious of your time spent in this type of air pollutant as it can be extremely unhealthy especially if combined with underlying health conditions. Sunday seemed on the break of dusk all day and the relative temperature was chilled with the affects of this smog. Fall is definitely soon to be upon us and I have spotted my first truly yellow leaves not caused by heat stress. Many people are very displeased with the production of their normally bountiful gardens mainly due to excessive cold in the spring and the ongoing heat and dryness of this summer and now that fall is here, the shortening of the days. I’ve noticed that after the quick frost we usually get too early in October we still have a pleasant growing season after that and I plan to be prepared for it this year.

A good friend has contacted me regarding an on going pest that most of us will have seen over the years especially on the Choke Cherry Trees along our roadsides. She has been walking the roads around her home and has made a valiant effort in trying to reduce their presence in her neighbourhood. They are certainly unsightly and can be a nuisance but not as bad as one would think. Vary rarely will the infestation be bad enough to actually kill the tree that it infests.

It may defoliate a branch or segment of the tree it occupies and do so for a couple of years but that will not usually be fatal for a mature tree but of course it will weaken the tree and affect it’s production. Infestations are usually no longer than a couple of years and the absence of actual caterpillars in the tents may be hard to detect. The use of vegetable oil that you have sprayed on the tents will likely not do anything to repel this pest nor will it have done any harm to the tree. The tent is many layered and the oil would have to be inserted into the web preferably at night when they are all at home to be affective. One book I looked at suggested the use of brake oil being inserted Into the nest as a solution, this being way before organic practices were of great consideration.

The Tent Caterpillar is an insect that goes through many changes but only has one reproductive period per year in its manifestation. They usually appear in April and love to devour young leaves of trees and

plants such as Cherry, Apple, Chokecherry, Blueberry, Plum, Peach, Willow, Maple but will also feast on Lilac and tender leaves of your garden plants. You can also, if not handled properly, spread it to your neighbours. They are a rich food source for Frogs, Lizards, and birds such as Robins, Blue Jays, Black Birds, Cardinals as well as those $%^$# Wasps. They are about 2 to 2.5 inches in length and are fussy bodied with a long bright stripe down their bodies which varies by the type of Tent Caterpillar which there are about 26 species. They place their webs in an area which will allow them the best warmth available to be able to digest their food and will lay down pheromonal trails similar to an ant which will lead their nest mates to good food and a path home when full.

They eat the leaves and then return to their nest to digest this food much of which is not digestible and is expelled from their bodies. After a period of doing this, about 2 months, they will leave the nest and build a cocoon. Two weeks later they will emerge from this cocoon and mate, the female already laden with eggs will find a suitable male and afterward will die leaving an abundance of eggs which can over winter even up to minus 40 degrees to start the process again the following April.

Some of the best ways to control this pest is to find and destroy the tent by pulling it down from the branch putting it in a bag and destroying it by burning. BT Kutaki is an organic method that can be used and is safe for bees, birds, pets and children as is Neem oil all which should be applied at night when all are present and one should open up the nest with a stick or pole to ensure it penetrates. Do not touch the caterpillars themselves as an allergic reaction to their spiny bodies may occur. They also do not care for companion plants or sprays made from Sage, Mint or Lavender.

Happy Gardening!

Welcome Back Everyone

The Dogwood Lounge at Saddle Mountain Place had been closed for a couple of weeks. It's good to be open again and see all of you again.

If you are senior and you would like to socialize with some pretty fun people, and or would like to eat a great lunch, then Saddle Mountain place in the Dogwood Lounge would be the spot for you.

We have exercise programs, crafts, bingo, crib, movie day with snacks and refreshments, and sometimes there are field trips as well. There is

always something exciting to do there.

Last week we played Bocce Ball, what a great outdoor game. This was followed by a delicious Meatloaf lunch.

You can pick up the menus and activities sheets at the Dogwood Lounge in Saddle Mountain Place or at Whitevalley Community Resource Centre.

Whitevalley Community Resource Centre would like to thank our sponsors Interior Health and The United Way.

Provincial News

Fall Booster Doses, Bivalent Vaccine Available Soon People will soon be able to get better protection against COVID-19, as the Province rolls out the new combination bivalent vaccine through its fall booster program.

This new vaccine will be available to all adults over the age of 18 and youth from 12 to 17 years who are at high risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19.

Invitations will go out over the coming days and weeks.

This vaccine offers enhanced protection against COVID-19 by targeting the original virus strain and is effective against Omicron subvariants, which continue to be the most common subvariants in B.C. As with the previous doses, the timing of invitations will be based on risk and age, as long as it has been six months since the previous dose. Priority groups will continue to include people over the age of 60, Indigenous Peoples of all ages, people who are clinically extremely vulnerable and people, such as eligible health-care workers, who work with high-risk and vulnerable individuals.

Children and youth, from five to 17, are also eligible for booster doses. Parents and guardians will receive invitations to book booster appointments when their children are eligible.

Quick Facts: * On Sept. 1, 2022, Health Canada authorized the use of the Moderna bivalent COVID-19 vaccine as a booster dose for adults over the age of 18. * The National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommends that: * Adults 18 years of age and older who are recommended to receive a fall booster dose should be offered an authorized dose of a bivalent Omicron-containing

mRNA COVID-19. * If it is not readily available, an original mRNA COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to ensure timely protection. * Adolescents 12 to 17 years of age with moderately to severely immunocompromising conditions and/or who have biological or social risk factors that place them at high risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19, may be offered an authorized dose of a bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccine that targets Omicron.

What Can Losing 5% Do For You?

To have an impact on your health, you don’t need to slim down back to your high school size. Losing just a few pounds if overweight, makes a big difference.

5% of your body weight - 10 pounds for a 200-pound person - can improve all kinds of health problems.

Ease Joints Just 10 extra pounds add 40 pounds of pressure on your knees and other lower body joints. That can wear them out quicker. Extra fat can also cause inflammation -- when chemicals in your body damage your own tissues over time, including your joints. This almost always leads to arthritis later on.

Reduce Cancer Risks For women a 5% decrease in body weight can lower their chance of breast cancer by 12%. Also, there is some evidence pointing to less chance of other cancers as well by lowering the levels of certain hormones linked to cancer: estrogens, insulin and androgens.

Prevent or Manage Type 2 Diabetes Losing weight can help prevent diabetes or if already having the condition, weight loss can help control it by less medication needed. It will also help keep blood sugar more in control as well as lower the odds that the condition will cause other health problems.

Get Cholesterol in Check You can lower your “bad” cholesterol – LDL as it is harder to raise the “good” kind of cholesterol – HDL. By having less LDL, it is easier for HDL to clear out LDL from the blood. Exercise and a healthy diet can help lose body fat and get you into a good HDL range lowering chances of heart disease.

Lower Triglycerides They’re particles in your body that transport fat for storage and energy. High levels (more than 200 mg/ dl) mean you’re more likely to have a heart attack or stroke. When you lose weight, you can get your levels closer to healthy levels (around 150 mg/dl).

This causes all kinds LUMBY COMMUNITY of health problems but in particular for the heart.

Reverse Insulin Resistance Body fat, especially in your belly area, gives off chemicals that make your body stop reacting to the effects of insulin. This hormone keeps the level of sugar in your blood normal, even with the pancreas working harder to make more insulin, blood sugar can still get too high. Lose some weight and reverse this effect.

Sleep and Mood Sleep - yup losing some weight can help you get a better and longer sleep. This in turn will help you be in a better mood and more alert. Being more alert and in a better mood will help you be motivated to move more, lose more and do more.

Lower Inflammation Fat cells, especially those around the belly, can release chemicals that irritate and inflame tissues all over the body.

Losing weight can reduce the risk of health problems associated with this; arthritis, heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.

Increase Libido and Boost Confidence Losing weight can actually increase your libido.

Artbeat

Happening now - Patron show This show is unique for us and a bit unusual. Instead of featuring one or a group of artists we are featuring collections or pieces of work cherished by those we like to call “patrons of art”.

None are Patrons in the recognized sense of the word: ie collectors of art as part of an investment portfolio. And while a few of these individuals may have purchased pieces to support a particular artist, the majority have received, cherished and protected works of art that have particular significance for them.

They may be reminded of long past or recent travels; of friendships current or mourned; of bequests either from family or friends; or even of serendipitous thrift store experiences.

The show is a privileged peek into our neighbor’s homes: the bedroom wall, the study, the living room.

Not one of them is for sale.

Take time to read the patrons statements to get a sense of their experience of collecting art.

This show will run from September 5th to October 1st

Arts & Culture from the Edge

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, influenced by our childhoods, heritage, cultures and experiences 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 outdoor exhibition of art and food.

Join us for this one day pop up Artist Exhibition show, in the back parking lot of the Village Gallery September 24th/2022 Application deadline; September 22nd.
