To the Editor, With Easter and Spring (around the corner.. Hope... Hope), I’m thinking there might be a new cook, around the corner, who might be tackling their first turkey. With a cook book in hand that might get a laugh from my poem. This is based on a true story.
Time to drink some more great wine,
••What do you call a rabbit with flees? Bugs Bunny
THE TURKEY.....Christmas, 1968, Boy, was it great!
And very soon, it would be ate.
••What goes up when the rain goes down? Umbrellas
She was only 24, never cooked a turkey... before,
Open up the oven door, And yank and jerk that silver stuff,
It was Christmas Day, The world was white, every house full of light,
The rack dipped down, the bird slid free,
••When do monkeys fall from the sky? During APE-ril showers ••What season is it best to go on a trampoline? Spring time
••What month of the year is the shortest? May (only 3 letters) ••Name a bow that can’t be tied. A rainbow ••Why did Cinderella get kicked off the baseball team? She always ran away from the ball. ••What do you get when you pour hot water down a rabbit hole? A hot cross bunny ••What did the tree say to spring? What a re-leaf. ••What do you call a girl with a frog on her head? Lily!

Wetter areas of your yard can be beautifully enhanced with Cyprus, Willows, Dogwood, Irises, Marsh Marigold, Rudbeckia, some Asters and Daisies, Lythrum and Lysimachia although these can be come very invasive. Plan your areas and plantings with a thought to the height of plant starting back to front with the tallest then medium to lowest plants. Give your perennials lots of room to grow into their spots filling in with annuals to give a burst of colour and a sense of fullness. The garden area itself should also be preplanned with crop rotation kept foremost in your mind. Soil amendments will be discussed in next weeks article as this is very important and all planting will benefit from what you prep the ground with. Yes it is the time to dream!

This is a chance to talk one to one with a local paramedic and learn about health issues currently related to the aging population. The second Wednesday of the month features craft classes with ever changing projects making these mornings relaxing, fun and productive. On the last Wednesday of the month, there is Bingo with a Theme! This program is full of laughs and jovial competition. Fridays are dedicated to the musical talents of local artists that donate their time to share favourite melodies. The enthusiasm and love of music is always evident as the seniors are entertained with a wide variety of songs being performed live. The rhythm and the beats kick off by 10:30 a.m. each Friday. Of course, each program day is followed by a delicious and healthy lunch. There are specialty themed meals and celebration days throughout the entire month. Monday, Wednesday and Friday lunches are served at 12 p.m. sharp. There is an opportunity to reserve seats on celebration days but space is limited so come early and join in the fun.

The Rhythms Of Life
Donna Easto We may think our body dances to its own unique rhythm. But, in truth, we’re all pretty much the same. Our bodies function on a 24 hour clock - keeping time with the rotation of the Earth around the sun. It’s basically a 24-hour internal clock that’s running in the background of your brain, cycling between sleepiness and alertness known as the Circadian rhythm or your sleep/wake cycle. This central internal clock gives us directions for time appropriate behaviours. When there’s natural light what we eat, digest and eliminate helps our immune system beat off any of the viruses and bacteria we’re likely to meet during the day. When our active body slows down at night, we sleep while our body works to repair cells and detoxify itself. Of course, there are seasonal differences determined by the changing light from spring to winter. Within this central internal clock are twelve other clocks timed to optimizing the functions of every organ and cell in your body. Each organ has a two-hour time period each day when that particular organ and its related *meridians are most energized and working hardest, affecting everything from your emotions to your productivity. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) this is known as the Meridian, Hoary or Chinese Body Clock .(*meridians are invisible energy pathways or channels that run through the body. Our vital life energy, or “qi”, is thought to flow along these meridians, and anything that disrupts it’s flow is said to cause illness.) In TCM the Meridian clock is used to chart the individual functions of your body: ••1:00am - 3:00am: Liver: in charge of spreading qi smoothly in the blood, body, organs, and
••1:00pm - 3:00pm: Small intestine: separates clear and turbid fluids and moves them to bladder and large intestine. ••3:00pm - 5:00pm: Bladder: stores and secretes urine. ••5:00pm - 7:00pm: Kidneys: in TCM responsible for reproduction, development and growth. ••7:00pm - 9:00pm: Pericardium: the “king’s bodyguard” its function is to protect the heart. ••9:00pm - 11:00pm: San Jiao (“The San Jiao itself is not a physical organ.

Lumby Midget Stars Here’s to all who took part in the Stars “friendly” players/parents game last Thursday night. The bad guys, stacked with butt-headed brothers, bossy sisters, fathers clinging to lost youth and a couple tough as nails mothers, barely hung on for
the win. The spoiled rotten brats, a.k.a. the Stars, did manage to vent a few frustrations on ice and had a pretty fun night. There was also the added bonus of seeing a Leafs jersey getting up close and personal with the ice (sorry Chris/Tim had to be said)!
Brats vs Badguys
Bantam Lumby Stars are OMAHA District Runner Up
The Bantam Lumby Stars sponsored by Great West Equipment travelled to Merritt March 15-17 for the Bantam Districts. The Stars started the weekend with a lost Friday afternoon against Kelowna 5 of 2-4. Saturday morning the Stars were up early and stomped on the home team Merritt 14-0. Their next game was against Salmon Arm 1 and tied 3-3. Sunday morning the Bantam Lumby Stars played against Chase and won 11-5. The Stars faced the Kelowna 4 in the final Sunday afternoon and just
came up short to a very strong team. All the coaches and parents are very proud of all the players for a great season with a small bench.
