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.”

sam’s gaRden

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 condi tions. 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 main ly 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. Infes tations 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 do ing 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 win ter 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.

Gardening!

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).

Manage High Blood Pressure

Extra body weight makes your blood push harder against your artery walls, which makes your heart work harder. Losing just 5% of weight can lower pres sure by around 5 points down.

Seize Sleep Apnea

Losing enough weight can help with sleep apnea. If overweight this is often caused by the extra tissue in the back of the throat that drops down and blocks airway once relaxed and sleeping. This causes all kinds 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 prob lems associated with this; arthritis, heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.

Increase Libido and Boost Confidence

Losing weight can actually increase your li bido. Also losing weight and feeling good about how you look, also helps put you in the mood!

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, cher ished 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 state ments to get a sense of their experience of collecting art.

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

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 suste nance, 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 child hoods, heritage, cultures and experienc es 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 kitch ens. 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.
