School board votes to close C.E. Barry Trustees voted 5-2 in favour of recommendation Jessica Peters Black Press

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 overwhelmingly that the K-7 model is preferred. Superintendent Karen Nelson said they needed to make a decision quickly on the future of C.E. Barry so that families could know where their children would be attending 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 giving 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 decision, with the long term plan being the K-7 model at the elementary level, and a return to a Grade

8-12 model at Hope secondary. Still, the school board’s decision hit a nerve with teachers who attended the meeting at Kent elementary Tuesday night, with some leaving the room in tears. Others used the question period to express their anger. “As a parent I said I was going to hold you accountable,” said teacher Lenora Poulin. “The decision you made tonight was wrong.” Continued on A4

Employer estimates costs of teacher demands

Tom Fletcher Black Press

The bargaining agency for B.C.’s 60 school districts has put a price tag on what its chief negotiator called “a truckload of benefit provisions” sought by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. The cost estimate was released by the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association after negotiations broke down Monday and the BCTF proceeded with a full-scale strike that could continue to the end of the school year. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said ne-

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 after weekend negotiations he could no longer determine which of them are still on the table. BCPSEA calculates the added costs of the union’s proposals for year five as follows: • Wages and benefits: $211.1 million • Dropping the bottom two teacher wage classifications: $16.9 million • Expanded preparation time, elementary

grades: $86.2 million • Expanded preparation time, secondary grades: $5.9 million • Pregnancy and parental leave: $22.1 million • Extended health and dental benefits: $11 million • Substitute teacher pay increase: $8.8 million BCPSEA has also calculated the cost of the union’s position on class size and composition at $1.67 billion. That dispute has been the subject of a series of court actions and the B.C. Court of Appeal is expected to rule on it this fall.

The two-day event at Hope Arena featured intertribal dancing, drumming, and arts and crafts. “It was really successful. We had lots of support from the community,” said event coordinator Naomi John. “There was healing and teaching … and dancers and drummers felt appreciated.” The powwow brought the community together to celebrate Chawathil culture with local band members and travelling dignitaries. Chief Rhoda Peters joined the Chawathil Sacred Connections group for a paddle song and welcome song prior to the grand entrance, which officially kicked off the event on Saturday. Moving forward, organizers hope to make the traditional powwow an annual event. PHOTOS BY KERRIE-ANN SCHOENIT

NOW THRU TO

Other teachers, many of them parents themselves, said the board was not putting students first. That prompted a few trustees to snap back at C.E. Barry teachers who refused to work last Tuesday, 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 first hand students not being put first… You closed that school the day you walked out.” The district had been mulling over the choice between closing the school and retrofitting 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 influx of students there. Two new portables 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. “That’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.” The district will immediately start planning a long term solution for the 2015-2016 school year.

Opinion

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

Beware of the sun Canadians love the sun so much, it’s killing us. After being cooped up for months at a time to shelter from the snow and cold and, in the case of southwestern British Columbia, interminable rain, we rejoice at the first 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, Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. The report says there will be about 6,500 new cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in Canada this year. That’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. Those are less serious and can usually be treated in the doctor’s office. 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. Thus 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. - Black Press

B.C. VIEWS

Ontario election lessons for B.C.

Tom Fletcher “Liberal” is becoming one of the most ill-defined words in Canadian politics. Here in B.C., a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low inflation. In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a libertarian who wants to legalize marijuana, 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. This is in a have-not province with an operating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion. For comparison purposes, B.C.’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $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 repaid a $1.6 billion HST transfer allowance to Ottawa. You think B.C.’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out Ontario, where the cops are still investigating the $1 billion cancellation of plans to construct two natural gasfired power plants before the 2011 election. The gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a European-style

climate change gesture that involved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge subsidy to Korean tech giant Samsung. The Ontario Liberals clung to power in part by promising a provincial pension scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Plan. B.C. has a similar pension program in the works, to be offered to the two thirds of small business 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 required to cough up half of the required pension payments. The 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

Standard

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 tabled her spending-spree, deficitbe-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Liberal minority government and avoid an election. Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-inthe-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into provincewide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree. Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the

Classroom cuts impact all students As an education assistant I see firsthand the impact of classroom composition and size on the quality of education. Special needs and behaviourally challenged students with insufficient support from CUPE staff monopolize teachers’ time robbing other students of teachers’ attention. Special needs and behavioural students left without extra support can dominate and run the classroom. This has a profound effect on the quality of education for

all students including students with special support needs. This detrimental impact is compounded with class size increase. A large group of actingout students competing for attention is extremely difficult if not impossible for one teacher to manage alone resulting in great cost to students. Class size increases and support service cuts, the Liberal government promised not to make, were introduced after 2001 to pay for large tax cuts. Now the education providers 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 fiscal mismanagement? We all reap the long-term benefits of investing in our children’s future today. When I hear people vilifying teachers for taking job action out of desperation, I hear this response as an uninformed knee-jerk reaction like pawns playing right into the government’s strategy to gain public support by provoking teachers

to use their only option left – a strike. My advice to Peter Fassbender and the Liberal government is to look beyond your ideologically driven anti-union position and cost-saving motives. Step out of your power struggle and need to win in order to genuinely listen and negotiate 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

Taxpayers forgotten in teacher’s strike I would like to voice my viewpoint on this teachers strike. There are many viewpoints, pros and cons, about this whole mess, but it comes down to the children, right? I think not. Their future is in the teachers’ 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 different 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 attention – 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-

Community efforts appreciated Kudos to local resident Dick Gardner, for his relentless 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 officials 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

crease is not in the best interest 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 profession. If they don’t do their job

they should be given warnings and then fired. I’m sure there are a lot of new graduates that would love the opportunity to start their career. Children come first is not the case here, and I don’t believe 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? Jean Irwin

Agassiz Christian School Challenging

Trail work 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.

The federal Conservative government has approved Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline project, despite widespread opposition in B.C. that includes the provincial government, First Nations, environmental organizations and residents of the intended oil tanker port of Kitimat. Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford signalled the government’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 Pacific 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 already been threatened. Opposition demands to reject the project dominated question period in the House of Commons Tuesday. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair called the review panel process “a sham,” and Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen warned that opposition in B.C. may upset plans to develop liquefied natural gas exports in the province. The project doesn’t yet meet Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines, which include world leading marine and land spill protections, resolution of aboriginal concerns and a fair share of benefits for B.C. B.C. Environment Minister

Mary Polak said the decision means the project meets the first of five conditions required by the province, a successful federal review. “We recognize the benefits that the Northern Gateway project may bring, but they will not be at the expense of our environment,” Polak said. The decision by the Harper cabinet follows last December’s ruling by a federal review panel that the $6.8-billion project should proceed, subject to 209 conditions. That followed Enbridge’s earlier pledges to improve the project’s safety with thicker steel and other measures along the 1,177-kilometre route. The twin pipelines would carry 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from the oil sands west to Kitimat and send condensate to act as a thinning agent east to Alberta.

History in Hope

School zones don’t apply on strike days The RCMP has confirmed that school zones do not apply during strike days. UFVRD’s media liaison Const. Tracy Wolbeck confirmed that public school zones that normally 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 under that category. “It’s a really good question,” she said, and she had confirmed her answer with the Fraser Valley traffic services department. But she warned that drivers be aware of whether they’re driving in a public 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.

Sports Charity ball hockey tournament in Hope Barry Stewart Hope Standard

Kevin Misumi went to UBC for his first year of science 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 hockey 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 Waters, McDonalds and Panago, or supplied prizes for raffles, 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 guarantee 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 going 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 person. Misumi has known two Hope residents that succumbed to ALS. “I decided to organize this event specifically for Janice 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 working 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,” added 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 community spirit to the event.

Connecting Hope residents with the Lower Mainland Care Transit continues to fill a void in the community through its volunteer transportation service. The non-profit organization in Hope has become so popular that its now struggling to meet the ongoing demand as ridership remains steady. Care Transit just experienced a record breaking 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 society president Shari Carrat, 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 community so that people can keep their independence. Nobody in the community should be isolated or not get to something that is important for them.” Care Transit was launched in 2006 with a few volunteer drivers travelling about 100 kilometres in their own vehicles. In April 2013, the organization acquired a new 17seat bus that has room for three wheelchairs, making it more accessible for excursions to local and out of area activities. Care Transit currently has about 200 clients on a regular

That translates to about 875 trips last year, compared to 550 in 2012. Projections for 2014

are about 150,000 kilometers and close to 1,000 trips. There were about 3,000 total volunteer hours logged in 2013 and that’s expected to increase to about 4,000-4,500 this year. The program is open to anyone that doesn’t have a vehicle or any

other means of transportation. The majority of rides provided are to medical appointments throughout the Lower Mainland. Care Transit also offers transportation to local recreational activities, social events, education programs. The society operates solely on grant funding as well as donations from clients and local organizations. Anyone interested in volunteering or for more information, contact the Care Transit at 604-869-3396 or visit care transit.org

Counsellors offer helping hand

For local residents needing someone to talk to, Hope Senior’s Peer Counsellors are ready to lend an ear. Volunteer counsellors offer emotional support, guidance and empathy to at-risk peers troubled by loneliness, depression, isolation from family and friends, loss of loved ones, intergenerational conflict and life changes. The program aims to help seniors understand what they are feeling and discover their own strengths so that they can make independent choices. “It’s just having someone you can talk to and knowing that there’s someone who wants to listen,” said volunteer counsellor Sharlene Harrison-Hinds. “Seniors are often 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 fix everything, but we can sure point somebody in the right direction.” Modelled after the Chilliwack Senior Peer Counsellors program, the non-profit society started

Alzheimer’s, scams and home safety. All volunteers must also sign a confidentiality pledge and go through a criminal record check. There 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 perform 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 relocated to Hope and was “up against a brick wall.” Not only was she feeling lost after the death of her husband, but she was stressed due to family problems and her cupboards were bare. “I came over and met Allyson and found out what she needed help with,” said HarrisonHinds. “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

medical information, and organizing dog grooming. Harrison-Hinds calls once or twice a week and stops by weekly, depending on their schedules. “I’ve really appreciated the help I’ve been given,” said Allyson. “I can sleep at night now, I feel peace and I’m Iearning to face the future. I feel like a human being again. Someone is sticking by me now.” Hope Senior’s Peer Counsellors Society is open 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursdays at 591-J Wallace St. For more information, or to get involved as a volunteer, call 604-8600708 or 604-206-0202.

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 implementing certain changes to improve quality of life. Many people also scale back in the kitchen, where some must make changes because of medical conditions. While it seems like reducing food portions would be easy, those used to prepping meals for a large family may find it difficult. The following tips can make meal preparation efficient and cost-effective. T Divide and store.

Cooking on the weekend is one way to make food preparation throughout the week easier.

Supermarkets are increasingly offering larger packages of food prod-

ucts as well as “family size” offerings to compete 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 separate meats and poultry into smaller portions before 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 refrigerator after containers are opened. T Plan meals with

Five healthy foods for the over 50 crowd Men and women must alter their diets as they age and take steps to reduce their risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes. One of the easiest ways to do that is to eat healthy foods. The following are five flavorful and healthy foods tailor-made for the over 50 crowd. 1. Apples: Apples definitely qualify as a superfood, helping reduce cholesterol by preventing plaque buildup in the blood vessels and, as a result cutting an individual’s risk of diabetes considerably. Apples also make for a great source of fiber, potassium and vitamin C. 2. Blueberries: Blueberries help men and women

maintain healthy blood sugar levels because they are high in soluble fiber, which lowers cholesterol while slowing the body’s uptake of glucose. Despite their relatively small size, blueberries contain more fiber, vitamins and minerals per ounce than any other fruit. 3. Broccoli: Though broccoli might not have been your best friend during childhood, you may want to cozy up to this powerful green vegetable now that you have cracked the half-century mark. Broccoli is loaded with vitamin C, which can shorten the duration of the common cold. Studies have also found that broccoli may help prevent osteoarthritis,

a degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying 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 cardiovascular benefits and help men and women maintain healthy weights. Fava beans are considered “nutrient-dense,” a term used to describe low-calorie foods that boast lots of nutrients, and are an excellent source of vitamin B1, which is important for nervous system function and energy metabolism. 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 fiber, which can reduce cholesterol levels and subsequently reduce a person’s risk of heart disease. Also low in calories, oatmeal can help men and women maintain a healthy weight.

similar ingredients. To reduce food waste, use leftovers to create casseroles or mix them in with new meals. Broiled or grilled chicken can be used to make soups, stirfry dishes, fajitas, and sandwiches. The fewer ingredients you have to buy, the smaller the risk of spoilage. T Cut recipes in half. Recipes can be cut down depending on how many mouths need to

be fed. When baking, cutting back on proportions of ingredients can be challenging. Search online for recipe-scaling programs that can make the work easier. T Cook on the weekend. Use a weekend day to prepare food and package it into small containers in the refrigerator or freezer. Then the containers can be taken out as needed and heated quickly in

the microwave for fast meals. T Organize a mealsharing club. Get together with a few friends who also have empty nests and split cooking duties. If you’re accustomed to cooking larger portion sizes, do so and then spread the wealth with others in the group. Then sit back and relax when it is your opportunity to have meals delivered to you.

ANNOUNCEMENT

DR. MOMEN DEMIAN will be leaving his practice at Fraser Canyon Clinic in Hope as of July 31, 2014. We wish him luck in his future endeavors. Two new family physicians are expected to join the existing physicians in Hope in August, at the Hope Medical Centre, to see Dr. Demian's patients.

Watering tips for a lush lawn this summer

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.

INGREDIENTS FOR

Healthy Living

Proper watering is essential when trying to restore or maintain a lush green lawn. If watered incorrectly, a lawn can be susceptible to a host of problems, including insect 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 water and needs it during those hours of the day when the sun is at its most intense. However, those are two common misconceptions about watering. The following are a handful of tips for homeowners who want to help their lawns endure the summer heat and maintain their lush appeal into the fall. T Water when temperatures are mild. In

the summertime, humans typically need water when temperatures 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 arrives, a lawn is best watered when temperatures are at their most mild. That often translates to early morning or early evening. An added benefit 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. T Situate sprinklers to conserve water. Homeowners who won’t be hand watering their lawns should make sure their sprinklers are placed properly throughout their property. Situate sprinklers so they aren’t watering driveways, walkways or patios. All of the water should be going to the grass, especially when the amount of watering the law allows is limited. Watering restrictions in the District of Hope are currently 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 from sprinklers isn’t being blocked from reaching the grass by trees. Homeowners with especially large trees on their property should consider hand watering the grass beneath such trees to ensure these areas receive adequate water. T Lean on mulch. Homeowners tend to fear drought for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that drought can cause a green lawn to turn brown, potentially affecting property value and robbing a landscape of its beauty. But there are ways to help the soil retain moisture when temperatures are especially hot and dry. Mulch around trees, flower beds, gardens and shrubs can help homeowners get the most bang for their watering buck. That’s because mulch retains moisture, even when temperatures are especially hot. This helps foster stronger root growth and healthier landscapes that are less susceptible to disease and insect infestation. T Get to know your lawn. Several variables combine to determine how much water a lawn needs. Understanding these variables helps homeowners understand how much to water their own lawns. Local climate is a variable to consider, as is whether or not a lawn was fertilized (experts typically recommend a lawn be fertilized several times, beginning in the spring and ending in October). Soil type and grass type also help to determine how much water a lawn needs, and homeowners who need to determine the type of soil and grass on their property can consult a local lawn care centre or landscaping professional. Proper watering can help a lawn survive the dog days of summer, and it’s up to homeowners to learn the right techniques.
