down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the

numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column and box.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column

and box. You can fi gure out the order in which the

numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already

Here are a few things to keep in mind

before mowing your lawn for the first

time this spring.

If you’ve already tuned up your lawn

equipment or are in the market for

a new lawn mower, you’re probably

anxious to get out and start caring for

your yard. But before you do that, it’s

good to know when the right time is to

start mowing your lawn in the spring.

It’s not as simple as “when the grass

starts growing.”

Great advice

Great selection

Great products

It’s all here!

When can you start

mowing your lawn?

While the answer depends on your

part of the country and lawn type, the

general indicator will be how tall your

grass is. Most grass cutting heights are

between two and three inches, according

to Pennington’s full list. However,

there are exceptions. Just because the

grass is looking a little long doesn’t

mean it’s time to fire up the mower.

Wait until it’s warm enough to mow

regularly. If temperatures are expected

to drop below 5 degrees Celsius, you’re

probably not ready to start mowing

again.

mowing your lawn?

The ideal height

to cut grass

Figuring out the best height to cut grass

depends on the type of lawn you have. Typically

you should keep your grass about three

inches long, with the last cut of the season

taking it down to between 1.25 to 1.5 inches.

Cutting grass too short before the end of

the season can damage the soil and the lawn

mower itself. Short grass also will not do as

good of a job blocking the sun, which can dry

out the soil and create dead patches.

Best weather conditions

for mowing

It’s generally not a good idea to cut wet

grass after it rains, so mow when it’s sunny

or the ground is dry. Mowing wet grass is bad

for several reasons. Leaving clumps of wet

clippings could smother the grass beneath.

Wet grass can clog the mower, causing it to

overheat, and stick to the mower’s underside,

which is difficult to clean. And no matter

how much traction you think your shoes

have, you can easily slip on wet grass.

So don’t mow first thing in the morning

if the grass is damp with dew. Wait until the

lawn has dried out. Early evening is the optimal

mowing time since it allows the grass the

most shade to heal.

When to fertilize and

water your lawn

If you fertilize in both spring and fall, in

early spring apply just enough lawn fertilizer

to help green up your grass. A second application

can be added in mid to late spring. The

best time to fertilize your lawn in the fall is

around Labour Day.

Watering your lawn properly is

crucial for a lush look and feel. How

much water to use and how often you

should be watering your lawn depends

on your soil moisture, region, grass

type and other factors. Generally,

grass should be watered early in the

morning. Watering during the hottest

times of the day allows too much

water to evaporate. That’s the reason

most municipalities prohibit mid day

watering – it’s wasteful. And watering

at night encourages the growth of

harmful fungi.

effort towards of our capacity to deliver on the Habitat ideals

and signals what we hope will be many more Habitat home

projects throughout Southeast BC. There is a critical need for

housing in our area and Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC

completed by early 2023, when 4 new Habitat families will

be handed keys to their very own home. “Selected Habitat

families are not given the home. They buy it.” Says Coburn.

“They must satisfy several criteria: have the ability to pay an

income-appropriate monthly mortgage, be in need of decent,

affordable housing, and be willing to partner with Habitat.

As part of that partnership the family must volunteer a total

of 500 hours toward helping with the build and/or volunteer

within the community for other worthwhile organizations.

Habitat for Humanity believes that access to affordable

housing is a basic human right, that should be available to all.

Habitat Southeast BC is committed to helping families forge a

path out of poverty and into safe and secure housing they can

call their own.

Since 1999, Habitat for Humanity has built 21 homes in our

Southeast BC region and partnered with more than 25 families.

Although Habitat affiliates in each region of Canada seeks

to build homes for local families, each one goes about this mission

in a way that suites their community(ies). Here at Habitat

for Humanity Southeast BC, we have prioritized:

i Increasing the number of Partner Families we provide safe,

affordable housing to through home ownership.

ii Building our capability and capacity to realize our vision

and mission.

iii Expanding our impact across the Southeast BC region.

iv Habitat is currently looking for organizations, businesses,

and individuals to partner in support of our work in the community.

Community members can also support the project

by donating funds or salable items, or shopping at one of our

Habitat ReStores

Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC is a Canadian registered

charity, and we are an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity Canada

and Habitat for Humanity International. Our mission is

to bring communities together to help families build strength,

stability, and independence through affordable homeownership.

We serve the Boundary and Kootenay regions of British

Columbia.

In loving memory of

our dear friend,

Linda Louise

Brooks Gelinas

October 19, 1948 –

April 4, 2022

honour at the

All are welcome

It is with great sadness

we announce the passing

of Tony Frary – brother,

father, grandfather, uncle,

and friend.

Born in Los Angeles, CA,

to parents Ralph and Mary Frary, he grew up in Visalia,

CA, with his sister Florence and brother Ralph.

After graduating from Redwood High School (1963),

Tony furthered his education at the University of Notre

Dame (1963-67), UC Davis, and University of Toronto

(1976) where he received his Master of Science

in Urban and Regional Planning. After meeting and

marrying Candace in Toronto, they traveled around

the world visiting and living in New Zealand, Asia, and

Europe, before settling in Kaslo in the late 1970s and

raising their three children.

He had many jobs over the years spanning from communications

officer in the US Navy (1968-1974), urban

planner, Realtor, B & B owner, English teacher in

South Korea, and vehicle transporter to name a few. He

volunteered many hours to improve the community of

Kaslo, served as a councillor in the 1990s, and was an

active Legion member. Tony had a love of travel, adventure,

and foods of all kinds. A dreamer and an optimist,

he loved to talk about politics and current events,

and to plan adventures with family, friends, or solo.

His greatest love and proudest accomplishment were

his children (Lindsay, Heather, and Christopher), and

8 grandchildren. A true gentleman, he will be remembered

for his kindness and generosity.

A celebration of life is planned for Saturday, April 23rd,

at the Kaslo Legion Hall, between 2 and 4 pm.

To whom it may concern,

I was asked by Dan Ashman to test the fuel efficiency of the 2016 F150

models with different engines.

The route I took with each truck was from the Trail Husky gas station (right

after fill up); to Castlegar, then to Nelson, then to Salmo and finished my

trip back at the Husky gas station in Trail. This is where I filled the trucks up

again, and proceeded to do the calculations based on the number of litres it took

to refill the truck. The 3.5L EcoBoost engine was done the middle of April 2016 with

the 3.5L and the 2.7L EcoBoost done on May 5th 2016 and the 5.0L done on May 24,

2016. The results of the calculations were as follows:

2016 F150 3.5L Ecoboost

2016 F150 3.5L

2016 F150 2.7L Ecoboost

2016 F150 5.0L V8

Would your acreage benefit from soil amendment?

Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres within 55 km

that would benefit from using their Celgrow soil amendment. Pastures and

hay fields are good options.

Mercer Celgar will cover the costs of a Qualified Professional performing

soil sampling, obtaining government authorization and delivery costs of Celgrow

soil amendment based on access with a large truck/pup combination.

Acreage should be able to accommodate at least 6 truck/pup loads. The two

major components of Celgrow are individual wood fibres lost from the pulping

process and surplus bacteria from the wastewater biological treatment

facility. Wood fibres enhance soil moisture retention and bacteria are a good

source of soil nutrients. The landowner is responsible for spreading and incorporating

Celgrow into their soil.

Young visions reveal the future

West Kootenay youth Stanley Humphries, Kootenay Columbia

Learning Centre (both Trail and Castlegar) and Rossland

Summit School are featuring their art in the annual Young

Visions exhibition. It opens Thursday, April 21 at 7 pm at the

Kootenay Gallery of Art in Castlegar. Everyone is welcome to

attend the free opening event.

“This is my favourite show of the year” says Val Field,

Executive Director of the Gallery. “It is such a pleasure to see

the creativity and hard work of our local students. The variety

and quality of the artwork is outstanding” Gallery Curator,

Maggie Shirley agrees with Field and adds, “It is a pleasure to

focus on local talent and to provide the youth with an opportunity

to get the experience of having work professionally presented

in an art show. I secretly hope that this is the beginning

of at least one art career and that I’ll see their work back in the

Gallery again some day in the future. ”

The Gallery is grateful to School District 20 for making the

show possible and in particular to teachers Shelley Painter,

Bryar-Anne Woods, Michelle Reddick, and more. Shirley says

“We appreciate the effort of the art teachers to provide the students

with this community-enhancing experience. Like most

teachers, they go above and beyond their job expectations to

support the students. ” The show is supported by School District

20, the BC Arts Council,

Copper

Copper is a sweet 8 year old German shepherrd husky mix.

He loves his people and walkies. A very happy boy, he was

surrendered because his owner could no longer care for him.

Copper had some ongoing health issues, but now that he is

on the mend, we would love to find him a forever home.

He is dog selective and seems to prefer females. Who could

resist those bright blue eyes!

“Being physically healthy is not expensive! Being injured

is!”-Joerg Teichmann.

Living in the mountains provides for regular participation in

outdoor activities. Doing sports like mountain biking, golfing,

trail running in the summer and skiing, snowboarding, skating

in the winter are the tip of the iceberg. However, with numerous

sports comes multiple opportunities for injury.

Injuries can be acute or cumulative. Acute, or sudden, injuries

have a specific beginning, like a broken bone, sprain, or strain.

But cumulative injuries stem from overuse, and they happen over

time, which makes them harder to diagnose and treat. Accurately

identifying kinetic issues and providing solutions is just one part

of the important job of rehabilitation therapists. Once patients

understand the ‘why,’ it is a natural progression to teach them the

‘how’ to return to health.

The pain associated with an injury is only one part of the treatment

process. For any remedy to be effective, accurate evaluation

to isolate the problem and rehabilitate it through sound solutions

is critical. Corrective exercise and proper training techniques to

avoid future injuries are essential. The medical team tasked with

this rehabilitation may include Sports & Athletic Therapists.

“I have spent a lot of time in physiotherapy, chiropractic, and

rehabilitation,” says Finn Strachan, a senior student at Seven Summits

Centre for Learning who has been accepted into the Sports

& Athletic Therapy program at Camosun College in Victoria BC.

“My mom was a massage therapist, so I have always been curious

about kinesiology and human movement functions.”

The Sports & Athletic Therapy program offers two disciplines

in one program: Athletic Therapy and Exercise Physiology. This

unique four-year program focuses on teaching injury prevention,

assessment, treatment, and management. “As a gymnast and

boulderer who participates in all the outdoor fitness options in

Rossland, I have suffered many injuries. I had a helpful medical

team to help me rehabilitate to do my hobbies to stay fit. I want

to do the same for others and aspire to be part of a medical team

when I graduate.”

As a Clinical Exercise Physiologist, Strachan will also work with

sedentary individuals who have illness and disease from lifestyle

factors. By conducting fitness and health assessments, he would

use the information to prescribe and supervise individualized

or group exercise programs. Strachan could offer counselling on

fitness and health for people with chronic diseases like diabetes,

heart disease, obesity, osteoporosis, and hypertension.

This program offers hands-on learning and an internship

through field placement in the second year. There are many

employment opportunities and advanced degree options. Strachan

aims to help people return to their sports of choice by

rehabilitating and designing conditioning programs. “I believe

hobbies are to keep fit, not that fitness should be a hobby! We

have mountains to climb.”
