DESSERT BROTHERS DO IT AGAIN!
Stronger together: collaboration a theme of 37th Annual Spaghetti Bridge Building Contest at OC
What’s true for spaghetti and hot glue is true for people as well – we’re stronger when we stick together. In addition to coming away with new insights into science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), participants of the 37th Annual Spaghetti Bridge Building Contest at Okanagan College also learned another important lesson in the value of collaboration. More than 250 students from elementary through post-secondary flocked from all over the Okanagan to the College’s Kelowna campus on Friday to see whose spaghetti bridge would reign supreme. Students had a chance to work in groups to build bridges on-site during the morning for the team-building competition, while others carefully transported elaborate pre-constructed spaghetti structures from as far away as Salmon Arm and Osoyoos. The Dessert brothers of Lumby came out on top in the Heavyweight competition once again, marking the fourth year in a row one or more of the family has been in the top trio. It was Justin, a grade 11 student at Charles Bloom Secondary, whose bridge held the most – 237.44 kg – weighing in at 845.27 grams.

James, brother and second-year student at the College who won last year’s competition, came in second with his bridge holding 177.85 kg with a similar weight of 791.10 grams. Sporting a healthy dose of sibling rivalry, Justin says, “Winning today means that I am able to take the lead from my brother again. We didn’t change anything this year but we kept the humidity more consistent, made sure to redo a couple of things right from scratch, and from the start made sure we were doing everything right.” Not far behind James was Okanagan College alumnus Keyvan Khadem who captured third place. Khadem spent two years at the Kelowna campus completing the Civil Engineering technology bridge program and is now studying engineering at UBC’s Okanagan campus. His bridge, made alongside teammates Harvir Mann, Ahmed Ramadan and Gavin Saini, held 131.24 kg. “For us, this is a combination of what we learn in lectures, learned previously here at the College and transferred to UBC Okanagan. Basically, we’re putting science into action here. Because of the quality of the
spaghetti we work with, if you spread the build out over more time, the pasta becomes brittle. “Being here is like being part of an old family with a new family.” “It was great to see the energy, excitement and positivity in the room. Whether their bridges worked out the way they wanted them to or not, every single competitor represented themselves and their schools so well. It was a joy to have everyone on campus, and we’re so grateful to all the students, teachers, volunteers and industry partners who make Spaghetti Bridge happen. Thank you!” said event organizer Michelle Lowry of the College’s Public Affairs department. The event was made possible thanks to a variety of industry and community supporters including title sponsors, Faction Projects Inc. and Allnorth. Other sponsors for the contest include the Applied Science, Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia, PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc., the Okanagan College Students’ Union, Multi-Power Products, CTQ Consultants, Interior Testing Services and OPM (Okanagan Precision Machine Ltd.).

More Signs Of Spring!
How Do You Make A Waterbed More Bouncy?... Add Spring Water! Samantha Nason BS Ranch & Greenhouses I hope that the weather we have been experiencing is March coming in like a lion, which bodes well in my books. I look forward to the later part of March and early April being unseasonably warm. Only time will tell. It is time now to plant peppers, eggplant and many more of the flowers you would like in your yard. Buds are forming on the trees and the snow is receding quickly. I just would like it to stop adding to the pile, at least you don’t have to spend a great deal of time getting rid of it as melt down is proceeding at a nice pace. I saw an interesting program on TV last week regarding Citrus Greening Disease and the ability of man’s best friend , the dog in detecting it. This is a bacterial disease spread by the African and Asian Psyllid. This particular bug spreads a bacterial infection that affects citrus fruit and has spread to over 30 countries including the US of A and which is now responsible for a loss of up to 70% of normal yield. There is no cure but early detection allows for the removal of infected plants, however the use of antibiotics has been considered after it has been detected as

a possible tool to stem the loss of their crops. Thank heavens that has been banned as you can well imagine what the consequences would be if that approach were taken. Although they say that antibiotics would not penetrate into the the tree or the fruit, all residual amounts would eventually leach into the aquifer and other water sources and this would be extremely harmful to everyone. Other methods that have also been considered is the production of plants that are resistant to this infection by means of natural selection and of course genetic modification. Hopefully common-sense and the strength and will of the public will help guide these choices. Fortunately Brazil, Europe and the US of A have banned the use of antibiotics as a method of control. The National Academy of Science has found that dogs are incredibly efficient at detecting the infection with 99 % accuracy years before there are visible signs that humans can detect allowing growers to cull the affected plants. Dogs have been trained to detect so many types of contraband, diseases like cancer and C Dif, and seizures well in advance of them happening as well as giving us companionship and unconditional love.

MIKKIE’S CORNER Keto
This week’s corner still about fat! Keto is a predominately high fat diet and has been proving to have great results. What is not explained is that anything you change drastically will have results especially in the short term just like the “no fat diet,” as explained last week. But what exactly is Keto? Keto is short for ketosis, which is a normal metabolic process for when the body does not have enough glucose for energy (main source from carbohydrates) and it basically burns stored fats instead. There are many steps to this process as the body cannot directly use fat as energy, it must be converted to a sugar form = glucose, which is the main molecule for energy our bodies use, and we cannot survive without it. This conversion through, first gluconeogenesis, then ketosis results in a build-up of acids called ketones within the body. Specifically, the body begins to break down fat stores to provide glucose from triglycerides and ketones. Ketones are acid by-products that build up in the blood and are eliminated in urine (which people will use urine test strips to indicate this). The brain takes up most of the daily glucose requirements: The daily glucose requirement for a typical adult is 160g and 120g of that alone is needed just for the brain. The amount of glucose present in body fluids is about 20 g, and a storage form of glucose, a readily available type - glycogen, is approximately 190 g = direct glucose reserves being sufficient for about a day. Interestingly the Ketogenic diet was not originally intended or used for weight loss but for a very clinical therapy instead. Believe it or not this diet came about to treat epilepsy in the 1920 & 30s and is still used as a treatment option when anti-seizure medications do not work for an individual. This diet also has biblical origins with Jesus curing possessed people through fasting and prayer. This biblical history could be why it was put again into practice and developed and used today as the diet mimics starvation which helps control or reduce seizures. It is still not understood exactly why the diet works, but studies have found that because the diet enhances the brain’s ability to withstand metabolic challenges, there is a correlation. Further studies are being implemented also to include possible treatments for other neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases - as per the Emory University Health Sciences Center. There are cautions though, as this high fat, low carbohydrate, controlled protein diet, must be closely monitored by doctors and dieticians as many supplements must be added for lack of minerals, vitamins and fiber that is missing from little to no carbohydrate consumption. In fact, here are just a few things that can happen if you suddenly and drastically cut carbs: • Headache • Bad breath • Weakness • Muscle cramps

It is not clear what kind of possible long-term health risks a low- to no carb diet may pose because most research studies have lasted less than a year. Also, research has shown eating large amounts of fat and protein from animal sources, increases risk of heart disease or certain cancers and increase risks of various chronic diseases.

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.
Let’s Get Close Up What can I say, I love Macro Photography. I couldn’t decide which photo to put in so I put two of my favorites in this week’s column. To me Macro photos are amazing, there is so much detail when using the Macro lens. Almost all cameras
have them, when you go into your settings and see an icon that looks like a tulip click on that for Macro. I sometimes use this if I am in a hurry to get that shot, but I also have changeable Macro lenses for my cameras in different sizes. You don’t need to go out and buy these especially if you are not going to use them very often just use the little icon instead. Over the years you have seen a lot of my Macro shots in the paper e.g. different types of Spiders, Flowers, Caterpillars, Lady Bugs, etc. 2611 Hwy #6, Lumby, BC People sometimes ask me what is Macro PhoStore: 250-547-1463 or Uwe 250-470-8276 OPEN Monday to Saturday: 9am to 5pm tography? The answer is simple: It is an extreme closeup of the shots you are taking. Usually the THIS WEEK’S SPECIALS (FRIDAY TO THURSDAY) size of the subject you are taking is smaller than Manitoba Farmer Sausage ..........$1.79/100 gr what your picture comes out as more life sized. It is awesome for close ups of eye shots, or the Seasoned Beef Patties ......$6.75/lb dew on a flower It’s great for small things like flowers, insects All Beef Hot Dogs.........$1.49/100 gr (e.g. the snail coming out of his shell, he is not DAILY IN-STORE BEEF SPECIALS really that large, but thanks to Macro Photography All our product is Gluten and Dairy Free MADE IN HOUSE AND SMOKED THE OLD FASHION WAY he looks pretty big) The sea shell was quite small, until I used one of my lenses which brought it larger with a lot of detail, if you look closely at the shell you will see the bits of gravel on top of it. If this had been a regular shot without being extremely close up, you would not see the gravel on the top of the shell. The Macro shot helps to show you the finest and smallest details.

on your camera, it will even work on your small point and shoot camera ( if you are on your cell phone unless
you have a very expensive cell phone, you will need to buy a Macro adapter for it) using just your regular camera (not cell phone) start practicing on
how to take Macro shots. Take a lot of photos inside or out. Try different ways of getting close to the subject using the Macro Icon of course. Make sure you have a steady hand, as the steadier the better for your photo, I know sometimes it might be hard to have your hands steady when doing extreme close ups so that is why it is good to practice doing this (I find it hard to use my tripods on my subjects while doing Macro shooting) Use the Manual focus on your camera If you can, move your subject try not to move your camera, as every time you move your camera you might lose focus Use different backgrounds for different effects Once you try Macro shooting with your camera, I think you will be amazed at how much detail you can now see in your pictures Have fun with your camera!

Midget Stars Earn a Spot at the District Championships The Lumby Midget Stars Sponsored by Bannister Chev/Olds traveled to Salmon Arm Tuesday March 3rd for the North Okanagan Super League Playoff Championship game to Face the Salmon Arm 2 team who the Stars had split their games against in the season so it was geared up to a fight to the finish and it didn’t disappoint. The Host team opened the scoring early 2 min into the game to make it 1-0 and erupt a packed house arena. The Stars battled and net minder Tyra Cunningham made several great saves before 2:33 when the pressuring Silverbacks made it 2-0. Then the Stars had some penalized calls and were down to a 3 on 5 advantage for the home town squad when Captain Tage Kineshanko won the face off in their own zone with Linemates Conner Seehaver and Matthew Yaremcio to kill the penalty they chipped it ahead to a speeding Kineshanko who with 3 players on his tail cut across and scored with 5 seconds left in the first to make it 1-2 short handed goal and jump start the team as he was caught up and slid across the ice into the corner. The second period the the battle continued. The Stars defence being constantly challenged. Half way through the period the Salmon Arm Squad got a goal to make it 3-1 Stars with the home town crowd thinking they had it in the bag heading into the ice clean. During then the Stars were motivated by Kineshanko who spoke to the team in whatever what was said it worked. Our Stars as we know are not to be taken lightly and don’t give up easily . Two minutes into the second half the veterans showed their experience and desire to win in their last Playoff Championship game as Seehaver executed a beautiful goal to make it 2-3 and start the offensive roll which was followed by a beautiful series of passes from Kaleb Pachel to Ryder Quibell to D Man Yaremcio who didn’t miss the chance to bury it and tie the game 3-3. Then as the Stars offence was in momentum in the Silverbacks end a Salmon Arm player threw his stick to try to stop a pass and shot from gritty forward Quintin O’Neil . A penalty shot was awarded. The game tied 3-3 Coach Kevin

Porteous put Kineshanko in the pressure seat. With the Salmon Arm barn cheering and hollaring Kineshanko rose to the challenge and with the referees whistle he zigged and zagged down the ice with the rest of the team holding their breath as he made no mistake buried the puck to go ahead 4-3 in front of a speechless crowd with all the friends and families from Lumby erupting in celebration. But it didn’t
OBITUARIES
Dorothy May Scott Oct 16, 1927 – Jan 30, 2020
Our Mother fell asleep in death, during the early morning hours of Jan. 30, 2020. She was 92 years of age. Survived by her 5 children – Judy, Connie, Mervin, Randy and Rudy. Also, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Lawrence Scott (1999), and cherished grandson, Charles Scott (2011). Family was pivotal to Mom, and a huge source of her happiness and contentment. Without a doubt, we were loved and adored, given unconditional love, and she worked tirelessly on our behalf. We will miss her warm, inviting smile. Faith was a huge and meaningful part of her life. Mom had a long-standing relationship with her Heavenly Father Jehovah. Her faith stayed strong to the end. Because of declining health and coping with dementia, Mom struggled with frustration, anxiety and fear. A hemorrhagic head bleed changed everything! During those last 4 days we never left her side, we held her hand, hugged her and loved her, until she took her last breath. Mom, you are now safe in Jehovah’s memory! We wait patiently for the day when the dead will be brought back to life and we can be together again, on a beautiful Paradise earth. “Have a good sleep Mom. I will see you in the morning. It will be a BRIGHT, NEW DAY. Jehovah has promised.” A private Memorial Service was held at the Lumby Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
end there. Just before the end of the 2nd period the Salmon Arm team Had a puck trickle in and tied it up 4-4. The third period saw a flurry of action. Opportunities robbed on both sides as net minding was incredible. Then Kineshanko go his 3rd of the night a point shot from skilled play making passes of long time team mate and friend Seehaver and Gritty Mia Maltman to put the Stars ahead 5-4. The next 10 minutes was a incredible hockey on both sides back and forth chances stripped away. Both teams called a time out in the last minute with Salmon Arm pulling their goalie to have a man advantage. Kineshanko broke his stick which then resulted in him kicking out the puck out of the zone to wear down the dying seconds and the Stars became the reigning North Okanagan Super League champions and were awarded the 2020 Banner and given a spot in the OMAHA District Valley Championship this weekend in Lillooet. Good Luck Stars! And Thank you to our sponsors, parents, families and friends that have come out to support them all year.
OBITUARIES Cheryl Rae
Large
On February 23, 2020, Heaven gained another beautiful soul. Cheryl Rae Large passed away after a short battle with cancer, at the young age of 68. Although she was taken too soon, Cheryl will live on in the memories of her three children; Laura Campbell, Shona Leahy and Ashley Large, five grandchildren; Bailey, Paige, Brae, Hally, Cain, and in the many hearts she touched over the years. Cheryl was born in Fort St. John to a large family. As a child she enjoyed riding horses, playing in the fields, and scraping with her siblings. In her youth she took on many roles, bus driver, traffic controller, devoted mother, and endearing grandmother. Those who knew Cheryl would describe her as a rough and tough cowgirl, much like the roles of one of her favorite actors, John Wayne. She was a strong willed woman, with a set of unwavering morals, no one messed with her family. Despite this tenacious personality, Cheryl had a heart of gold. She was a sensitive, caring woman who’s love ran deep and true. It was Cheryl’s wishes to be remembered not mourned. In lieu of a funeral the family will be arranging a celebration of life ceremony. Friends and family are welcome to join in this, sharing favorite stories and smiles. Arrangements have been entrusted to VERNON FUNERAL HOME Phone: 250-542-0155

OBITUARIES
Aleksandra Jarosinski (nee Rouck)
PUZZLE NO. 019
Dec. 23, 1925 – Feb. 17, 2020
The time has come, to say goodbye to a long time resident of Lumby and a beautiful lady, Julia Aleksandra Jarosinski (nee Rouck). She passed away peacefully in her chair, in her home, in Lumby, on February 17, 2020. How lucky we have been to have her enrich our lives with her knowledge, wit, humour, and strong work ethic. Right to the end she was playing bridge, crocheting, and participating in daily Mass. Born in Wilno, Poland on December 23, 1925. She grew up on her family estate of Prostanszczyzna, in what is now Belarus. This setting was disrupted with the outbreak of World War 2, in which her family was forced to leave. She and her family were put in a cattle car and deported to Siberia. For almost two years they endured many hardships and hunger. In 1942, amnesty allowed them to leave Siberia and our mom ended up in a Polish refugee camp, Tengeru, in East Africa. In 1957, Julia came to Canada and married Wieczyslaw Jarosinski. They lived in Ocean Falls, BC and raised 4 children. In 1972 the family moved to Lumby. Julia was predeceased by her son Tadeusz (Ted) in 1981 and her husband Wieczyslaw (Tom) in 2005. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Irena (Jeff ) McDonald, Kazimierz (Kathryn) Jarosinski and Zofia (Ron) Yeomans, and her grandchildren Matthew, Mark (Sarah), Julia, Thomas, and Edward. In her 94 years she accomplished and participated in many activities. She was an active member in the Catholic Church and was a CWL member for over 60 years. Her faith never wavered. Julia was also active in the Vernon Multicultural Association. She was very proud of her Polish heritage and was an active member of the Vernon branch of the Polish Combatant’s Association. Julia was determined to preserve the language and culture by teaching all four offspring to read and write Polish. She was a loving example of godly faithfulness, perseverance, and kindness. We will miss her playful sense of humour and warm smile. Funeral Mass took place Saturday, February 22, 2020 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Lumby. Wieczny odpoczynek racz jej dać, Panie.

The deadline for bid submissions for the construction services work on the Pat Duke Arena Change Room Renovation and Expansion project has now passed, and the five (5) submissions that were received are now being reviewed for cost and conformance to all of the bid requirements. “I’m pleased to see that the project received interest from the construction community,” said Rick Fairbairn, Area D Director and Chair of the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee, RDNO. “We are looking forward to awarding the

The bids were read publicly on March 5 and all were within the $3 million budget. Work includes reinforcement of the existing arena arched structure, as well as a full suite of four newly constructed change rooms, a north warming and viewing area, entryway and modest improvements to existing change rooms. When the successful proponent is selected, the RDNO will provide another update.
