Just for Fun More Hunting Humour!

A group of friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck.

The others were surprised and asked him, “Where’s Joe?” “Joe fell and broke his leg. He’s a couple of miles back up the trail,” the successful hunter replied.

The other hunters were even more surprised at this and asked him, “‘You left Joe laying out there and carried the deer back?”

The hunter nodded and said, “It was a tough call, but I figured no one is going to steal Joe!” --------------------Two deer hunters meet in the woods one day.

The first one says to the other, “Thank God I’ve met you, I’ve been lost for hours!”

The second hunter replies, “That’s nothing – I’ve been lost for days!”

--------------------What’s the difference between a hunter and a fisherman?

A hunter lies in wait while a fisherman waits and lies.

--------------------On the way home from a hunt one day, a hunter stops by the grocery store and says, “Give me a couple of steaks.”

“We’re out of steaks but we have hotdogs and chicken,” replies the butcher.

“Hotdogs and chicken?” says the hunter. “How can I tell my wife I bagged a couple of hotdogs and chickens?”

Local & Regional News Preschool in Lumby!

Hello fellow Community Members As you may have heard Lumby has a Preschool Program!

In an unexpected and exciting turn of events Jiminy Crickets and Whitevalley Community Resource Center were able to band together to make this a reality late this August. It has been a need in Lumby for the past couple years and we are ecstatic to be able to offer it.

Unfortunately with the prompt timing before opening we were not able to adequately notify/advertise our ability to operate and have been unsuccessful in filling our classes thus far. As the budget is incredibly tight and relies on grants and a full enrollment we are fearful we may not be able to continue to run both or any programming. I am confident the need is there and we can fill the programs but need some help in spreading the word about this great opportunity!

If you would be so kind as to help share the Preschool Program information within the Community and surrounding areas I would be so very grateful, and I'm sure it would aid in the continuation of having the Preschool operational this year.

Thank you Chauncey Jade Jiminy Crickets Daycare

If you have any questions you would like me to address in future articles, please send them to the Lumby Valley Times at editor@lumbyvalleytimes.ca Information provided comes from various sources on the internet, gardening magazines, gardening books and articles and my own personal knowledge.

What Do You Do With 100 Peaches?... You Eat What You Can and You Can What You Can’t!

Growing Peaches From Seed

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the temperatures can drop at this time of year and the changes that plants go through with the lower temperatures and the shortening days. Within the next month we will, if the season is anywhere near normal, we will have experienced our first killing frost. I have found that this occurs just after the first week of October and then we will get a small reprieve until the send of the month. This may not be the same for areas of higher elevation but Lumby proper seems to experience this affect so if there are garden areas that you wish to prolong do have covers available and watch the forecasts for warnings of frost.

I am going to again attempt to grow my Paul Friday seed and see what I can produce. I have read a great deal more and so I will take a new approach as vernalizing the entire pit did not produce anything last year.

This time, as suggested, I will allow the pit to dry for several days and then I will gently try to remove it from its shell. Drying should shrink the inner seed for easy removal as any nicks or cuts in the seed will reduce its chance of germinating. Then it is suggested that you put the seeds in a zip lock bag and leave it half open.

When you want to plant the seeds for germination you fill the bag half full with water and in a few hours add potting soil to the point that the soil is damp not soaking wet which may cause the mixture to mold and that will definitely ruin the chances of the seed sprouting. Place this bag back in the refrigerator in a place where it will not be crushed and well away from any other fruit like Apples or Bananas that emit ethylene gas which will cause the seed to ripen prematurely. In about 5 or 6 months start to check for roots that pronounce that you have been successful. Do not dismay if there are no signs yet as it could take several months to achieve germination.

Then as it may still be too early to plant outside they can be gently planted in a pot until the soil temperature is warm enough to plant them outside. It is a job of great patience as after this process it will still be several years before you will harvest any fruit. When

you do have germination and a successful plant to put outside you will need to find a fully sunny location that is protected from wind and has well drained sandy soil with a ph of 6 to 7.

After that and the following years there will be pruning, watering, disbudding to remove surplus peaches that develop so they are well spaced and not so abundant that they do not develop a decent size.

One site suggested planting the seed itself in December or January as this will allow itself time in the cooler temperatures to sprout as it does need to be vernalized. They suggest poking a hole in the soil 3 inches deep with your finger however I feel a jack hammer might be the tool needed at this time of year. Patience obviously will be needed to succeed with this project.

This coming Saturday will be a wonderful Lumby and District Public Market to attend as we will be hosting our annual Butter Tart Festival. There will lots to see and lots to do as well as enjoying some magnificent Butter Tarts! Look forward to seeing you there!

Saturday 10am - 5pm, Sunday 10am - 4pm Happy Gardening!

Whitevalley Community Resource Centre deeply appreciates each and every one of our volunteers and will be sharing their experiences with you once a month.

We have several volunteers who help serve their community but would like to remain anonymous.

We are thankful for our servers, kitchen prep, dishwashers, special

event helpers and drivers who show up without fail to assist when and where they are needed. Each volunteer has their own personal reason for giving their time, but most would agree that the social mingling, camaraderie, and the desire to help others are the aspects of volunteering most important to them.

To our dedicated volunteers, we at Whitevalley Community Resource Centre thank you for all the volunteer hours you give and the joy you bring to our lives.

Health & Nutrition

A Trio of Metabolism Boosting Nutrients Choline:

Choline is part of the vitamin B family, and it helps the body use fats more efficiently. By breaking fats into smaller pieces, they can be burned more easily for energy.

Daily intakes: • Adult women: 425 mg per day • Adult men: 550 mg per day Organ meats such as beef or chicken liver can have the highest sources of choline, but at the same time be high in fat. These can be a bit counterproductive if your aim is weight loss. The following high choline foods would be a better choice.

• Fresh cod: 3 ounces (85 grams) contain 248 mg.

• Eggs: 1 large hard-boiled egg contains 113 mg.

• Salmon: A 3.9-ounce (110-gram) fillet contains 62.7 mg.

• Soybean oil: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) contains 47.3 mg.

• Broccoli: A 1/2 cup (118 ml) contains 31.3 mg • Cauliflower: A 1/2 cup (118 ml) contains 24.2 mg.

Magnesium

Magnesium not only helps with muscle recovery, heart health, bone density kidney function, improved sleep, better digestion, and also with muscle cramping.

When it comes to weight loss it helps with controlling insulin and glucose blood levels while reducing bloating and water retention. Poorly controlled insulin and glucose has and effect on fat storage.

Recommended Daily intakes: Men: 400=42- milligrams per day Women: 310-32- milligrams per day

milligrams Legumes • Black beans (boiled): ½ cup = 60 milligrams • Edamame (cooked, prepped): ½ cup = 50 milligrams • Lima beans (cooked): ½ cup = 40 milligrams Whole Grains • Quinoa (cooked): ½ cup = 60 milligrams • Shredded wheat (plain, unfrosted): 1 cup = 56 milligrams Low Fat Dairy • Skim Milk: 1 cup = 24.27 milligrams • Plain 0% yogurt: 8oucnces = 42 milligrams Greens • Spinach Cooked: ½ cup = 72 milligrams Chocolate • Dark Chocolate 70-85%: 1 ounce = 64 milligrams

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is known as an immune booster and even during COVID was said to have worse outcomes if levels were low. For weight loss low levels have been associated with higher body fat percentage.

Daily recommended levels: Although these are recommended daily intakes most people will take about 1000 IU’s per day Adults 9-70 = 600 IU – International Units (15 mcg - micrograms) Adults over 70 = 800 IU (20 mcg)

Highest Food Sources • Roasted almonds: 1 oz = 80 milligrams Highest Food Sources • Roasted cashews: 1 ounce = 72 milligrams • Dry roasted peanuts: 1 tablespoon = 40 milligrams • Cod liver oil, 1 tablespoon: 1,360 IU (34 mcg) • Pumpkin seeds (hulled, roasted): = 1 ounce = 150 • Trout (rainbow) cooked 3 oz: 645 IU (16.2 mcg)

Monday, September 26th Doors Open @ 6:00pm Starting @ 6:30pm WHITE VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTRE 2250 Shields Ave, Lumby

• Salmon (sockeye) cooked 3 oz: 570 IU (14.2 mcg) • Mushrooms, white raw, sliced ½ cup: 366 IU (9.2 mcg) • Milk 2% or milk alternatives as soy, almond or oat, 1 cup: 100-144 IU (2.5-3.6 mcg) • Sardines canned in oil 2: 46 IU (1.2 mcg) • 1 Egg: 44IU (1.1 mcg) • Tuna canned in water 3 oz: 42 IU (1 mcg) Also 10 – 20 minutes of sun exposure per day will get in your daily limits Mikkie Pollon (Nettles), Certified Personal Trainer/ Holistic & Sports Nutritionist Follow DEEM Health on Facebook, www.deemhealth.ca or contact info@deemhealth.ca

The Lumby and District Emergency Services Food Drive Oct.5th at 5:30!

Cst. Gary McLaughlin spearheaded a project in 2014 that would assist the Lumby Food Bank with a community food drive that would help fill the empty shelves of the food bank as folks headed into the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. This would be the beginning of a large annual Food Drive that would be held by the emergency services personnel from the Lumby and Lavington areas, who would volunteer their time and energy, bringing their vehicles along with spouses and children that would help!

Although Gary and his family moved away 2 years ago, two young men took over the reins of what was truly a huge benefit to our food bank community and community at large. The overall scope of this project was tremendous, bringing in thousands of pounds of food every year, and thousands of dollars!

Nick Claridge along with Andrew Franklin, two Lumby Firefighters, has had some big boots to fill, and according to last year's large number of 6000+lbs of food collected, they’ve done a tremendous job!

Arts & Culture from the Edge

National Day of Truth and Reconciliation The Monashee Arts Council will be hosting a small gathering outside the Village Gallery to honor the memory of all the children who suffered the residential school system, those lost to it and those who survived.

September 30th at noon Please note that the Village Gallery will also be closed in recognition of the National day of Truth and Reconciliation.

Artist meet and greet -Robin LeDrew Robin LeDrew will be at the Lumby branch of the

Okanagan Regional Library on September 24 from 12-1 for an artist meet and greet as well as a reading from her book "A future so bright" 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

Call for Artists – Pop up Exhibition – From the September 19th at 3:30 at the Lumby OAP hall.

Continued on page 12 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.

Food Drive, from page 6

With the COVID pandemic still causing a huge strain on folks, increased food prices, housing costs, and job insecurity our client base have increased dramatically, with more large families coming for assistance, living at the end of their rope, and often living in tents, trailers, and vehicles, unable to buy groceries or ensure their children won’t go hungry.

“It’s pretty grim for folks right now, we are very grateful for any help we can get,” says President Robert Wilkinson of the food bank.

This past year we have also seen a very large decrease in financial donations, and this is where we are starting to feel the crunch. With every donated dollar we can triple our buying power, yet without the dollars, we can only rely on what goods the community and businesses donate.

On Oct.5th fill your bags full of non-perishables and leave at the end of your driveway by 5:30 pm, bring the kiddos out to wave at the fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars as they head to your area with their sirens and lights blaring! There will also be several personal vehicles driving around collecting items- so don’t be alarmed if a strange vehicle gathers your donations!

The following list is some of the items we can always use : • Canned fish • Soup • Vegetables • Canned fruit • Kraft dinner • Rice • Pasta, • Peanut butter and jam, • Coffee and sugar • Juice, • Cereal, • Paper products, • Dog/Cat food for our fur families Please: NO opened, used, or EXPIRED goods NO Perishables of any kind (the thousands of pounds and endless hours going through expired, opened and used items puts a strain on our volunteers and garbage bill)
