C.E. Barry intermediate school will close, and its 150 students will be accommodated at other schools within the district in the fall, including Hope secondary.

The closure is the combined result of costly seismic upgrade work that needs to be completed, and falling enrolment numbers. The school district has engaged with the public through a number

of community forums over the last week, and heard overwhelm-ingly that the K-7 model is pre-ferred.

Superintendent Karen Nelson said they needed to make a deci-sion quickly on the future of C.E. Barry so that families could know where their children would be at-tending school next year.

“We need to get this done as soon as possible,” she told the board Tuesday evening. “People want answers.”

The board voted 5-2 in favour of closing the school and moving Grade 5 and Grade 6 students to Coquihalla elementary, and giv-ing Grade 7 students the option of attending either Silver Creek elementary or Hope secondary. Trustees Pat Furness and Tom Hendrickson voted against the recommendation.

It is being called an interim de-cision, with the long term plan be-ing the K-7 model at the elemen-tary level, and a return to a Grade

8-12 model at Hope secondary. Still, the school board’s deci-

sion hit a nerve with teacherswho attended the meeting at Kentelementary Tuesday night, withsome leaving the room in tears.Others used the question periodto express their anger.

“As a parent I said I was going tohold you accountable,” said teach-er Lenora Poulin. “The decisionyou made tonight was wrong.”

Employer estimates costs of teacher demandsTom FletcherBlack Press

Th e bargaining agency for B.C.’s 60 school dis-tricts has put a price tag on what its chief nego-tiator called “a truckload of benefi t provisions” sought by the B.C. Teach-ers’ Federation.

Th e cost estimate was released by the B.C. Pub-lic School Employers’ Association aft er negotia-tions broke down Mon-day and the BCTF pro-ceeded with a full-scale strike that could continue to the end of the school year. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said ne-

gotiations were expected to resume Tuesday. BCP-SEA calculates that with increased class prepara-tion time and other ben-efi ts, the latest off er from the BCTF adds up to a 12.5 per cent increase in total compensation over the fi ve-year term pro-posed by the union. BCP-SEA has proposed a 7 per cent pay increase over six years, plus a $1,200 sign-ing bonus for an agree-ment ratifi ed by the end of the year. Th e BCTF countered last week with a proposed $5,000 bonus, to make up for a year the union has worked un-

der an expired contract. BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron said the union has disagreed with some of the calculations, but has not provided its own costing, and aft er weekend negotiations he could no longer deter-mine which of them are still on the table. BCPSEA calculates the added costs of the union’s proposals for year fi ve as follows:

• Wages and benefi ts: $211.1 million

• Dropping the bottom two teacher wage classifi -cations: $16.9 million

• Expanded prepara-tion time, elementary

grades: $86.2 million• Expanded prepara-

tion time, secondarygrades: $5.9 million

• Pregnancy and pa-rental leave: $22.1 million

• Extended health anddental benefi ts: $11 mil-lion

• Substitute teacher payincrease: $8.8 million

BCPSEA has also cal-culated the cost of theunion’s position on classsize and composition at$1.67 billion. Th at disputehas been the subject of aseries of court actions andthe B.C. Court of Appealis expected to rule on itthis fall.

We’ve all heard the phrase “ ve-second rule” when food drops on the oor. This is indeed a myth and many studies have proven its fallacy. We often forget that our shoes track in many bacteria many of which are fecal in origin. Here’s a better rule: Drop it? Toss it.

Good sleep hygiene includes sleeping in a cooler room. It seems that keeping your night-time bedroom temperature between 15.5 and 19 (60-66 ) is ideal. It helps cool down your body’s core temperature which helps you to sleep better. If you

always seem to be warm, try a cool shower before bed.

One type of exercise that has become popular in recent years is interval training. This combines short bursts of intense activity (intervals) with lower intensity periods of activity. The activity can be swimming, running or even walking. If you use walking as your exercise of choice, warm up rst then walk really briskly for 30 seconds then slow down and let your heart rate normalize then repeat.

Check with your doctor rst

if you plan any new exercise activity.

This is allergy season and the pollen drifting through the air can make life uncomfortable for many. Flushing the nasal passages with a saline solution will help clear pollen so it won’t bother you. You can make your own solution (one-quarter teaspoon each of salt and baking soda in 8 oz of water) or buy some ready made at the pharmacy.

Need advice about allergies? We have the answers. Drop in soon.

Celebrating First Nation culture

Chawathil First Nation had an opportunity to showcase its traditions over the weekend at a local powwow.

Th e two-day event at Hope Arena featured intertribal dancing, drumming, and arts and craft s.

“It was really successful. We had lots of support from the community,” said event coordinator Naomi John. “Th ere was healing and teaching … and dancers and drummers felt appreciated.”

Th e powwow brought the community together to cel-ebrate Chawathil culture with local band members and trav-elling dignitaries. Chief Rhoda Peters joined the Chawathil Sacred Connections group for a paddle song and welcome song prior to the grand entrance, which offi cially kicked off the event on Saturday. Moving forward, organizers hope to make the traditional powwow an annual event.

Treasure hunting throughout Hope

Th e Trash to Treasure event in Hope continues to grow in popularity every year.

Treasure hunters from Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Harrison Hot Springs join locals annually in their search for new items throughout the community. Organized by Hope Communities in Bloom, the one-day event will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday (June 21).

“We’ve defi nitely had more phone calls about it this year,” said HCIB chair Victor Smith. “We want to recycle stuff

so it doesn’t end up in the landfi ll. Leave it out front and it will be gone.”

Residents are encouraged to place un-wanted household items in front of their property with a sign clearly identifying them as “Trash to Treasure,” or “T2T.” Since this is not a district-run program, homeowners are asked to remove all re-maining items by 4 p.m. as they will not be picked up by the District of Hope or First Class Waste Services. For more in-formation, visit the Hope Communities in Bloom page on Facebook.

NewsStudents

shuffled around Hope for fall

From A1Other teachers, many of them parents them-

selves, said the board was not putting students fi rst. Th at prompted a few trustees to snap back at C.E. Barry teachers who refused to work last Tues-day, citing concerns that the building wasn’t safe.

“It’s been a really stressful week,” said trustee Rose Tustian. “It started with the staff walking off the job (at C.E. Barry). I saw fi rst hand students not being put fi rst… You closed that school the day you walked out.”

Th e district had been mulling over the choice between closing the school and retrofi tting it. A recent cost estimate to upgrade the school was quoted as $4 million.

Karen Virteau, a teacher at Silver Creek, said she was hoping the majority of C.E. Barry Grade 7s will choose to come to her school, where a Grade 7 program is already in place.

Portables will be used at Coquihalla to handle the new infl ux of students there. Two new porta-bles will be bought at a cost of $120,000 each, and a third portable will be moved from C.E. Barry.

Trustee Marv Cope said the most important thing is making sure there is space available for teaching, no matter where it is.

“Teachers teach,” he said. “Th at’s what they do and it doesn’t matter where they go for a period of time. If you give them the space to do it, they teach.”

Th e district will immediately start planning a long term solution for the 2015-2016 school year.

Ontario election lessons for B.C.

“Liberal” is becoming one of the most ill-defi ned words in Cana-dian politics.

Here in B.C., a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fi scal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low infl a-tion.

In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a liber-tarian who wants to legalize mari-juana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abortion.

In Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal

government by limping to the left of the NDP, promising to spend lots more borrowed money and build lots of transit.

Th is is in a have-not province with an operating defi cit that is currently running north of $12 billion. For comparison purposes, B.C.’s defi cit swelled briefl y be-yond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the B.C. Liberals unwound the Harmonized Sales Tax and re-paid a $1.6 billion HST transfer al-lowance to Ottawa.

You think B.C.’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out Ontario, where the cops are still investigat-ing the $1 billion cancellation of plans to construct two natural gas-fi red power plants before the 2011 election. Th e gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a European-style

climate change gesture that in-volved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge subsidy to Korean tech giant Samsung.

Th e Ontario Liberals clung to power in part by promising a pro-vincial pension scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Plan.

B.C. has a similar pension pro-gram in the works, to be off ered to the two thirds of small busi-ness and self-employed people who don’t have a group plan with their employer. Ours would, of course, be voluntary.

Not so in Ontario, where large and small businesses will be re-quired to cough up half of the re-quired pension payments.

Th e Ontario model is dumb on several levels. It is to be imposed just as the baby boom retirement wave breaks across Canada’s most populous province, increasing risk

that the pension pool may run dry. And it sticks small business with a new payroll tax in a province that has lost much of its traditional manufacturing base and needs to innovate.

Here’s the funny part, if you don’t live in Ontario. Wynne ta-bled her spending-spree, defi cit-be-damned budget in an eff ort to convince the NDP to keep prop-ping up the Liberal minority gov-ernment and avoid an election.

Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises. Ontario is brac-ing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public ser-vice unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree.

Ontario Progressive Conserva-tive leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the

one presented by Christy Clark in2013: hold the line on spending,balance the budget, reduce thesize of government, stimulate jobcreation. Hudak was rejected fora second time, and resigned theleadership on election night.

B.C. voters now have three yearsto see how the Ontario versionof Liberal government plays out,compared to the B.C. Liberal ver-sion.

For us, much depends on re-source development, includingforest products, natural gas andother trade with Asia.

If all goes well here, B.C. cancontinue to send transfer pay-ments to the fantasyland of On-tario.

OpinionPublished at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Beware of the sunCanadians love the sun so much, it’s killing us.Aft er being cooped up for months at a time to shelter from the snow

and cold and, in the case of southwestern British Columbia, intermi-nable rain, we rejoice at the fi rst days of warm sunshine. By July we’re positively basking in it.

Problem is, we don’t like to cover up and we’re loath to slap on some sticky, oily or runny sun screen to protect our skin.

And that’s leading to an alarming increase in skin cancer, according to a report released last week by the Canadian Cancer Society, Statis-tics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Th e report says there will be about 6,500 new cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in Canada this year. Th at’s the deadliest, most insidious form of skin cancer that will kill more than 1,000 Canadians.

Another 76,100 cases of non-melanoma skin cancers will also be diagnosed. Th ose are less serious and can usually be treated in the doctor’s offi ce.

Unlike many other forms of cancer, the incidence of skin cancer is actually going up rather than down. For men, the incidence rate went up two per cent between 1986 and 2010. For women it increased 1.5 per cent. Mortality rates also increased.

Also, the Canadian Cancer Society is worried about risky behaviour of young adults, who are most likely to use tanning beds and who tend to spend the most time in the sun without protecting themselves.

Consider that a single, blistering sunburn before the age of 20 can double a person’s chance of developing melanoma. Th us it’s even more important that young people cover up, wear hats, sun glasses and lip balm and seek shade.

While it might be a little much to ask people to stay indoors, it’s not a big deal to put on that shirt, roll down those sleeves, slap on that hat and slop on that sunscreen. And pay heed to that UV index that’s become a standard feature of most weather forecasts to avoid the sun’s rays when they’re at their most damaging.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Should secondary school exams and report cards

be declared an essential service?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 69% No 31%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

As an education assistant I see fi rsthand the impact of classroom composition and size on the quality of educa-tion.

Special needs and behav-iourally challenged students with insuffi cient support from CUPE staff monopolize teach-ers’ time robbing other stu-dents of teachers’ attention. Special needs and behavioural students left without extra sup-port can dominate and run the classroom.

Th is has a profound eff ect on the quality of education for

all students including students with special support needs. Th is detrimental impact is compounded with class size in-crease. A large group of acting-out students competing for at-tention is extremely diffi cult if not impossible for one teacher to manage alone resulting in great cost to students.

Class size increases and sup-port service cuts, the Liberal government promised not to make, were introduced af-ter 2001 to pay for large tax cuts. Now the education pro-viders are left to manage the

resulting damages from these cuts. What are the values of a government that compromises the education and care of our future generation for short term gain to pay for fi scal mis-management? We all reap the long-term benefi ts of investing in our children’s future today.

When I hear people vilify-ing teachers for taking job ac-tion out of desperation, I hear this response as an uninformed knee-jerk reaction like pawns playing right into the govern-ment’s strategy to gain public support by provoking teachers

to use their only option left – a strike.

My advice to Peter Fass-bender and the Liberal govern-ment is to look beyond your ideologically driven anti-union position and cost-saving mo-tives. Step out of your power struggle and need to win in or-der to genuinely listen and ne-gotiate in good faith this time. My advice to teachers and the BCTF is to keep on advocating for our children and raising your voices until you are heard. You have my full support.

Debbie Gove

Kudos to local resident Dick Gardner, for his relent-less participation in our community. For a busy person like Dick, to constantly go out of his way, to make sure our town stays ship shape, is more than commendable, and should be used as an example by our actual elected offi cials on community involvement.

I suppose this is why we frequently hear of Dick’s involvement in the community, and seldom that of council, except once a year during the annual property tax increase. I would support Dick Gardner to run for council, considering that he’s doing their jobs anyway.

Art Green

Community efforts appreciated

I would like to voice my viewpoint on this teachers strike.

There are many view-points, pros and cons, about this whole mess, but it comes down to the children, right? I think not.

Their future is in the teach-ers’ hands, the good teachers who love their job regardless of any issues around them and the not-so-good ones who should take on a differ-ent profession.

I think one big thing

that has been forgotten in this mess is who actually pays these teachers huge salaries, great benefits and pensions. We, the taxpayers, that’s who.

We employ them and we should stand up and have a say. There are issues that should be addressed, i.e. the children that need special at-tention – perhaps hiring more teachers who are trained to teach these special children.

To give all teachers (good and bad) in B.C. a salary in-

crease is not in the best in-terest of our economy. They should be glad they have a job when there are a lot of unemployed out there with this employers’ market and so many looking for a job.

They have pensions and good benefits, where so many other companies don’t offer that. We as taxpayers should be able to report, from our children’s input, any teacher that is in the wrong profes-sion.

If they don’t do their job

they should be given warn-ings and then fired. I’m sure there are a lot of new gradu-ates that would love the op-portunity to start their career.

Children come first is not the case here, and I don’t be-lieve that all teachers are on board with what the union is doing, but those who are should rethink their position and stop using the children in all this.

What example are they leaving for that generation?

Ottawa approves Northern Gateway pipeline project

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Th e federal Conservative gov-ernment has approved Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline project, despite widespread opposi-tion in B.C. that includes the pro-vincial government, First Nations, environmental organizations and residents of the intended oil tanker port of Kitimat.

Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford signalled the gov-ernment’s approval in a low-key statement Tuesday that endorsed the 209 conditions imposed by a federal review. Rickford noted that the proponent still needs to consult with aboriginal communities and secure provincial permits.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has emphasized it is in the national interest to open a new pipeline route to the Pacifi c Ocean to carry Alberta oil sands bitumen and

break the Canadian oil industry’s dependence on U.S. markets.

But a continuing battle over the pipeline plan is expected in the courts, and potentially on the land, where civil disobedience has al-ready been threatened.

Opposition demands to reject the project dominated question period in the House of Commons Tuesday. NDP leader Th omas Mul-cair called the review panel pro-cess “a sham,” and Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen warned that opposition in B.C. may upset plans to develop liquefi ed natural gas exports in the province.

Th e project doesn’t yet meet Pre-mier Christy Clark’s fi ve conditions for new heavy oil pipelines, which include world leading marine and land spill protections, resolution of aboriginal concerns and a fair share of benefi ts for B.C.

B.C. Environment Minister

Mary Polak said the decisionmeans the project meets the fi rstof fi ve conditions required by theprovince, a successful federal re-view.

“We recognize the benefi ts thatthe Northern Gateway project maybring, but they will not be at the ex-pense of our environment,” Polaksaid.

Th e decision by the Harper cabi-net follows last December’s rulingby a federal review panel that the$6.8-billion project should pro-ceed, subject to 209 conditions.

Th at followed Enbridge’s ear-lier pledges to improve the project’ssafety with thicker steel and othermeasures along the 1,177-kilome-tre route.

Th e twin pipelines would carry525,000 barrels per day of dilutedbitumen from the oil sands west toKitimat and send condensate to actas a thinning agent east to Alberta.

News

The Hope Mountain Centre organized a crew of eight volunteers from Hope and the Lower Mainland to work on the Hudson’s Bay Company (1849) Trail last weekend. They met up with a dozen Backcountry Horsemen from Princeton and Tulameen to work on completing the eastern end of the trail from Lodestone Lake to Tulameen. In total, 20 volunteers donated 320 hours of labour to the trail over two days, clearing downed trees and brush on Mount Olivine. When complete, hikers and horseback riders will be able to travel 75 kilometres over the Cascade Mountains on a continuous wilderness trail from Hope to Tulameen, following in the footsteps of native hunters and HBC fur traders.HOPE MOUNTAIN CENTRE PHOTO

Th e RCMP has con-fi rmed that school zones do not apply during strike days.

UFVRD’s media liaison Const. Tracy Wolbeck confi rmed that public school zones that normal-ly require drivers to slow down to 30 km/hr or less on school days only apply on regular school days. Strike days do not fall un-der that category.

“It’s a really good ques-tion,” she said, and she had confi rmed her answer with the Fraser Valley traf-fi c services department.

But she warned that drivers be aware of wheth-er they’re driving in a pub-lic school zone or a private school zone.

Private schools that are still in session are not in the midst of a strike, so those areas would still be considered school zones, she warned.

Charity ball hockey tournament in Hope

Kevin Misumi has organized an eight-team ALS charity ball hockey tournament for Saturday, June 28, at the Memorial Park sport court.The public is welcome to drop by to watch the games, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Barry StewartHope Standard

Kevin Misumi went to UBC for his first year of sci-ence studies — and came back with an idea for a charity fundraiser. He’s hoping it will be the first of many ALS charity ball hockey tournaments in Hope.

“At UBC, one of the students organized a ball hock-ey tournament for a different cause,” said Misumi on Tuesday. “I thought I could do the same in Hope.”

Misumi is working on pipeline maintenance this summer but has used his spare time to bring together eight teams for the event, which will run throughout the day on Saturday, June 28, at the Memorial Park sport court.

He also has pulled together an impressive number of local sponsors who have given cash, such as Nestlé Wa-ters, McDonalds and Panago, or supplied prizes for raf-fles, such as Kimchi restaurant and Valley Helicopters.

“The community has really been good,” said the Hope secondary 2013 grad.

“Buy & Save is donating hot dogs and condiments for the event and the rec centre is letting us use the hockey nets, tables and hopefully the (portable) scoreboard,” said Misumi, “and Envision is lending us their tent for the day.”

He anticipates more donations to come in from the business community to help with the barbecue and raffle draw.

Players pay a $10 entry fee for the three-game guar-antee tournament that will kick off at 10 a.m. and close at around 7 p.m. with a championship match between the top teams from the A and B sides.

Throughout the day, barbecue and beverage sales will generate further funds for the cause, with proceeds go-ing to ALS Canada.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often known as “Lou Gehrig’s disease,” is a debilitating degenerative disease of the nervous system that slowly kills the affected per-son. Misumi has known two Hope residents that suc-cumbed to ALS.

“I decided to organize this event specifically for Jan-ice Carrat and Ronald Young,” he said.

“Janice was one of my mom’s good friends, so I saw her quite a bit, growing up. She was always there to point me in the right direction and give me a reality check when I needed one.”

Carrat passed away in 2009 at the age of 53. Her sister Shari is donating the banner for the event, which will be attached to the court fencing.

“Ron was the middle brother of Randy, Darren, Tim and Dave Young,” said Misumi. “When I started work-ing at Canyon Shell in 2012, he’d always stop in and he’d come and see my hockey games.

“Although I had only known him a few short years, he proved to me how much better a good laugh could make you feel.

“The disease progressed really quickly for him,” add-ed Misumi.

Young died in August of 2013. Like Carrat, he was only 53 years old.

Young’s brother Randy is supplying all of the team T-shirts for the tournament, which will be officiated by Blake Deschenes of Hope and Austin MacGregor of Chilliwack.

The public is welcome to come and add their com-munity spirit to the event.

Connecting Hope residents with the Lower Mainland

Care Transit contin-ues to fi ll a void in the community through its volunteer transporta-tion service.

Th e non-profi t orga-nization in Hope has become so popular that its now struggling to meet the ongoing demand as ridership remains steady. Care Transit just experi-enced a record break-ing month in May with 13,250 kilometres logged, which equates to about 90 trips.

“It’s only feasible for these drivers to do so much. If we are going to continue, we do need some people to step up for driving,” said soci-ety president Shari Car-rat, adding that they’re looking for drivers with

a car as well as Class 4 bus drivers. “We try to provide a whole health service for the com-munity so that people can keep their indepen-dence. Nobody in the community should be isolated or not get to something that is im-portant for them.”

Care Transit was launched in 2006 with a few volunteer driv-ers travelling about 100 kilometres in their own vehicles. In April 2013, the organization acquired a new 17-seat bus that has room for three wheelchairs, making it more acces-sible for excursions to local and out of area activities. Care Tran-sit currently has about 200 clients on a regular

basis and about 15 driv-ers.

In 2013, volunteer drivers logged about 120,000 kilometres, up from 75,000 kilometres the year before. Th at translates to about 875 trips last year, com-pared to 550 in 2012.

Projections for 2014

are about 150,000 ki-lometers and close to 1,000 trips. Th ere were about 3,000 total vol-unteer hours logged in 2013 and that’s expect-ed to increase to about 4,000-4,500 this year.

Th e program is open to anyone that doesn’t have a vehicle or any

other means of trans-portation. Th e majority of rides provided are to medical appointments throughout the Lower Mainland. Care Transit also off ers transpor-tation to local recre-ational activities, social events, education pro-grams.

Th e society operates solely on grant fund-ing as well as donations from clients and local organizations.

Anyone interested in volunteering or for more information, con-tact the Care Transit at 604-869-3396 or visit care transit.org

Counsellors offer helping handembraceembrace life

For local residents needing someone to talk to, Hope Senior’s Peer Counsellors are ready to lend an ear. Volunteer counsellors off er emo-tional support, guidance and empathy to at-risk peers troubled by loneli-ness, depression, isolation from family and friends, loss of loved ones, inter-generational confl ict and life changes. Th e program aims to help seniors un-derstand what they are feeling and discover their own strengths so that they can make indepen-dent choices.

“It’s just having some-one you can talk to and knowing that there’s someone who wants to listen,” said volunteer counsellor Sharlene Har-rison-Hinds. “Seniors are oft en the forgotten group. Our mandate is to listen to what their needs are and to help them with their needs. We don’t have all the answers and we can’t fi x everything, but we can sure point somebody in the right direction.”

Modelled aft er the Chilliwack Senior Peer Counsellors program, the non-profi t society started

training volunteers in the Hope area in July 2010. Volunteers undergo an intensive 70-hour train-ing that is supplemented monthly with ongoing training and support meetings to assist se-niors. Training covers a variety of topics includ-ing grief, drug addiction,

Alzheimer’s, scams and home safety. All volun-teers must also sign a con-fi dentiality pledge and go through a criminal record check. Th ere are currently eight counsellors in Hope, however the society is looking for more to meet the community’s needs.

“One of my primary motivations is I hope that someone would do the same thing for my father or mother,” said Harrison-Hinds. “With my dad living so far away, it is comforting to know that he has visitors who are not related but per-form the same functions as I do for some of Hope’s seniors.”

A few months ago, friends of Harrison-

Hinds connected her with Allyson, who recently re-located to Hope and was “up against a brick wall.” Not only was she feel-ing lost aft er the death of her husband, but she was stressed due to fam-ily problems and her cup-boards were bare.

“I came over and met Allyson and found out what she needed help with,” said Harrison-Hinds. “I helped Allyson get phone service here and worked on helping her get the things that she needed to make everyday life a little easier.”

Over the past few months, she has assisted Allyson with paperwork, taxes, making phone calls, getting food, obtaining

Make meal preparation effective and cost-effective Adults face many

changes as they move into their golden years.

Downsizing living spaces and vehicles is common, as is imple-menting certain changes to improve quality of life. Many people also scale back in the kitch-en, where some must make changes because of medical conditions. While it seems like re-ducing food portions would be easy, those used to prepping meals for a large family may fi nd it diffi cult. Th e fol-lowing tips can make meal preparation effi -cient and cost-eff ective.

Divide and store.

Supermarkets are in-creasingly off ering larger packages of food prod-

ucts as well as “family size” off erings to com-pete with warehouse

clubs. Buying in bulk can help individuals save money, but it may not always be practical for people living alone or with just a spouse. If you must buy in bulk, invest in a food vacuum sealer or freezer storage bags. Immediately sepa-rate meats and poultry into smaller portions be-fore storing them in the freezer. Otherwise, look for bulk items that are individually wrapped to maintain freshness. Many canned and jarred items can be covered and stored in the refrig-erator aft er containers are opened.

Plan meals with

similar ingredients. To reduce food waste, use left overs to create cas-seroles or mix them in with new meals. Broiled or grilled chicken can be used to make soups, stir-fry dishes, fajitas, and sandwiches. Th e fewer ingredients you have to buy, the smaller the risk of spoilage.

Cut recipes in half. Recipes can be cut down depending on how many mouths need to

be fed. When baking, cutting back on propor-tions of ingredients can be challenging. Search online for recipe-scaling programs that can make the work easier.

Cook on the week-end. Use a weekend day to prepare food and package it into small containers in the refrig-erator or freezer. Th en the containers can be taken out as needed and heated quickly in

the microwave for fast meals.

Organize a meal-sharing club. Get to-gether with a few friends who also have empty nests and split cooking duties. If you’re accus-tomed to cooking larger portion sizes, do so and then spread the wealth with others in the group. Th en sit back and relax when it is your opportu-nity to have meals deliv-ered to you.

Cooking on the weekend is one way to make food prepara-tion throughout the week easier.

Men and women must alter their diets as they age and take steps to re-duce their risk for heart disease, stroke and dia-betes. One of the easiest ways to do that is to eat healthy foods.

Th e following are fi ve fl avorful and healthy foods tailor-made for the over 50 crowd.

1. Apples: Apples defi -nitely qualify as a super-food, helping reduce cholesterol by prevent-ing plaque buildup in the blood vessels and, as a result cutting an indi-vidual’s risk of diabetes considerably. Apples also make for a great source of fi ber, potassium and vita-min C.

2. Blueberries: Blueber-ries help men and women

maintain healthy blood sugar levels because they are high in soluble fi ber, which lowers cholesterol while slowing the body’s uptake of glucose. De-spite their relatively small size, blueberries contain more fi ber, vitamins and minerals per ounce than any other fruit.

3. Broccoli: Th ough broccoli might not have been your best friend during childhood, you may want to cozy up to this powerful green veg-etable now that you have cracked the half-century mark. Broccoli is loaded with vitamin C, which can shorten the dura-tion of the common cold. Studies have also found that broccoli may help prevent osteoarthritis,

a degeneration of joint cartilage and the under-lying bone, and decrease bladder cancer risk by as much as 40 per cent.

4. Fava beans: Fava beans are cholesterol-free and low in fat. Fava beans also may provide cardio-vascular benefi ts and help men and women main-tain healthy weights. Fava beans are considered “nutrient-dense,” a term used to describe low-cal-orie foods that boast lots of nutrients, and are an excellent source of vita-min B1, which is impor-tant for nervous system function and energy me-tabolism.

5. Oatmeal: Another food that might never make youngsters’ lists of their favorite foods,

oatmeal is nonetheless a healthy option at the breakfast table. Oatmeal is loaded with soluble fi ber, which can reduce cholesterol levels and subsequently reduce a person’s risk of heart dis-ease. Also low in calories, oatmeal can help men and women maintain a healthy weight.

Five healthy foods for the over 50 crowd

Watering tips for a lush lawn this summerProper watering is

essential when trying to restore or maintain a lush green lawn. If watered incorrectly, a lawn can be suscep-tible to a host of prob-lems, including in-sect infestation, weak roots and disease.

When watering a lawn, especially when temperatures start to soar in the summer, it’s easy to think a lawn needs more wa-ter and needs it dur-ing those hours of the day when the sun is at its most intense.

However, those are two common mis-conceptions about watering. The follow-ing are a handful of tips for homeown-ers who want to help their lawns endure the summer heat and maintain their lush appeal into the fall.

Water when tem-peratures are mild. In

the summertime, hu-mans typically need water when tempera-tures are at their most extreme, but that does not mean lawns should be watered when temperatures soar.

Water attracts the sun, so watering when temperatures are at their hottest, which is typically around midday and into early afternoon, will likely lead to brown spots indicative of a burned lawn. That’s because the sun will be drawn to the water, bearing down on the lawn and burning the grass as a result.

When summer ar-rives, a lawn is best watered when tem-peratures are at their most mild. That of-ten translates to early morning or early eve-ning. An added ben-efit of watering when

temperatures are on the mild side is less water will be lost to evaporation during this time, meaning you won’t be wasting water.

Situate sprin-klers to conserve wa-ter. Homeowners who won’t be hand water-ing their lawns should make sure their sprinklers are placed properly throughout their property. Situ-ate sprinklers so they aren’t watering drive-ways, walkways or pa-tios. All of the water should be going to the grass, especially when the amount of water-ing the law allows is limited. Watering re-strictions in the Dis-trict of Hope are cur-rently in effect until Sept. 30. Watering is permitted on alternate odd or even calendar days based on civic addresses, from 5- 9

a.m. and 6-10 p.m. It’s also important to

make sure water fromsprinklers isn’t beingblocked from reach-ing the grass by trees.Homeowners with es-pecially large trees ontheir property shouldconsider hand water-ing the grass beneathsuch trees to ensurethese areas receive ad-equate water.

Lean on mulch.Homeowners tendto fear drought fora variety of reasons,not the least of whichis that drought cancause a green lawn toturn brown, poten-tially affecting prop-erty value and rob-bing a landscape of itsbeauty. But there areways to help the soilretain moisture whentemperatures are es-pecially hot and dry.

Mulch around trees,flower beds, gardensand shrubs can helphomeowners get themost bang for theirwatering buck. That’sbecause mulch retainsmoisture, even whentemperatures are es-pecially hot. Thishelps foster stron-ger root growth andhealthier landscapesthat are less suscep-tible to disease andinsect infestation.

Get to know yourlawn. Several vari-ables combine to de-termine how muchwater a lawn needs.Understanding thesevariables helps home-owners understandhow much to watertheir own lawns. Lo-cal climate is a vari-able to consider, as iswhether or not a lawnwas fertilized (expertstypically recommenda lawn be fertilizedseveral times, begin-ning in the spring andending in October).

Soil type and grasstype also help to de-termine how muchwater a lawn needs,and homeowners whoneed to determine thetype of soil and grasson their property canconsult a local lawncare centre or land-scaping professional.

Proper wateringcan help a lawn sur-vive the dog days ofsummer, and it’s up tohomeowners to learnthe right techniques.

Poorly situated sprinkler heads can deny lawns the water they desperately need when the temperatures rise. Make sure they aren’t watering driveways, walkways or patios.

“Being the product manager in charge of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, isn’t always easy. But that challenge is probably what I like most about my job. We built a V8 engine that’s as fuel efficient as some V6s. People didn’t think that could be done, we did it. I’m proud of that.”
