HOW TO SAVE TIME, MONEY & WATER! The average Canadian uses 326 litres of water per day. The average Kamloops resident uses about 800 to 850 litres of water per day. In the summer that number rises to 1,800 litres of water per person, per day! Eighty percent of the water consumed in the summer is used outdoors to water grass, hose driveways and wash vehicles.

Lawn Care Tips: Proper lawn care can help reduce water usage and save you money.

Mowing high – leaving grass about 5 to 7.5 centimeters tall – shades the roots and helps prevent evaporation. Leaving your grass clippings on the lawn, known as grasscycling, can help reduce watering and fertilizing. Lastly, water deeply, but infrequently. Your lawn only needs about 2.5cm of water per week to stay green, but try watering only one to two times a week. It encourages deep rooting and drought tolerance.

Xeriscape: By xeriscaping our individual landscapes, we use water more responsibly.

Even if you are not ready to do a complete make-over, becoming more knowledgeable and aware of your existing landscape is a start. Here are two simple steps that will make a difference: alter your irrigation to match your plants actual water requirements, and make adjustments to minimize overspray onto hard surfaces.

For information on the seven xeriscaping principles pick up a brochure from City Hall.

Get some xeriscaping ideas by visiting the demonstration garden at McArthur Island, or the one at the booster station in Westsyde at 790 Harrington Road.

Consider Clover: Traditional lawns can be costly and time-consuming to maintain.

White clover can be a great alternative. It stays greener with less water, is immune to dog spots, attracts beneficial insects and is inexpensive. Why not try an experimental clover lawn in a small area and see how much time, money and water you save?

Starting a Clover Lawn

Springtime is best for seeding. However, it can also be seeded in fall. There are two starting points – bare ground and existing lawn.

To mix clover in with an existing lawn: 1. To allow clover seed to reach the soil surface, grass should be cut short and bagged.

2. Rake up extra debris and clippings.

3. Seeding recommendations are 60 – 245 grams per 100 m2. For clover to be dominant use 245 g per 100 m2 (8 oz per 1,000 ft2). 454 grams of seed contain about 800,000 seeds.

4. Since the seed is so small and difficult to sow evenly, it is suggested that it be mixed with soil, sawdust, or graded sand (grain size approx. one mm) for distribution in a broadcast spreader. Do NOT cover seed with a layer more than 0.6cm (¼”) deep.

5. If there is no clover present in the lawn or nearby – you may need to add a bacterial inoculant to promote the best growth. It can be mixed with the seed.

6. Water daily for about 10 days. At temperatures above 15c, most seed will germinate in less than a week.

7. Until established mow regularly at 3.75 – 5 cm (1.5 – 2”), then return to higher mowing height.

For maintenance tips and other information on clover pick up the brochure Clover - Friend or Foe? from City Hall or visit www.kamloops.ca/ipm.

Save Time, Money & Water!

Have a lawn you can feel good about. Here are three lawn care tips that will save time, money and water: 1. Mow High Leaving grass 5 – 7.5 cm (2-3”) tall, shades the roots and helps prevent evaporation.

2. Grasscycle Leave grass clippings on the lawn when mowing. Eliminate bagging and raking and reduce watering and fertilizing.

3. Water Properly Water deeply, but infrequently. This means watering 1 - 2 days per week, but when you do, give your grass about 2.5 cm (1") of water.

Consider Clover: Reasons Why Traditional Lawns are Becoming Less Desirable • In Kamloops, rainfall is not enough to keep grass green and the cost of watering grass can be an issue.

• Many people do not have the time or energy to maintain a lawn that needs to be cut and watered frequently.

• There are environmental concerns surrounding pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and lawn mower emissions.

Advantages of White Clover • Stays green all summer with less water than grass.

• Grows well in poor soil.

• Immune to "dog spots".

• Never needs nitrogen application as it creates its own.

• Can be mowed, or left to grow.

• Out competes most weeds.

• Attracts beneficial insects.

• Is inexpensive.

Reminder: The Pesticide Use Control By-Law 26-2 is in effect. Residents may use certain pesticides while other products may only be applied by an Approved Applicator. For more information visit kamloops.ca/ipm or pick up a brochure from City Hall.

Did you know?

Before herbicides came into common use in the 1950s, white clover was considered a standard of excellence in lawn care and was a desired component of lawn seed mixes. Good quality grass seed had a high percentage of white clover. clover.

W

ell, I’ve already been returned once. My first owners thought having a puppy was cute and fun—they just weren’t prepared for my puppy behaviour—chewing, house training, etc. I was a puppy, for crying out loud … Give me some time to understand what you want from me.

Here are some tips: • I’m looking for someone to place their trust in me. It’s crucial to my well-being.

• Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t isolate me as punishment. You have your work, entertainment and your friends. I only have you.

• I don’t have opposable thumbs and I’m not that tall. I’m going to need your help with stuff like food and water!

• Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice.

• Be aware that however you treat me, I will not be able to forget it.

• Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy, ask yourself if something might be wrong with me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I’ve been out in the sun too long or my heart is getting older and weaker.

• Not all dogs need a great deal of exercise, but I love it. I’m happiest when I’m running so take me to the park, PLEASE! • Take care of me when I get old. You’ll be old one day.

I promise to love you and your family and to be loyal and trustworthy. I hope you’ll do the same for me!

I

’m pretty flexible—I’m a cat after all so I’m largely self-sufficient and content.

I don’t learn very many words, so bear this in mind when you are training me.

Give me a place to scratch and climb so I don’t do it on your couch and chairs. A useful and fun object is a scratching post or tree I can climb. Cat's love tall places and love to scratch. A large, sturdy cat tree will not only give me a place to scratch, but will let me climb and enjoy a bird's-eye view of my surroundings.

• Cats need animal derived food since we’re carnivores. This means I need animal derived food to get essential amino acids, components of protein. If I don't get them, I can develop severe health consequences.

• Always offer fresh water, not milk which cats have a hard time digesting.

• Play with me. Help me get needed exercise by being my personal trainer. Use toys like feathers, fake mice, or even a rolled up piece of paper to get your cat to run around. Toys are a great incentive to get your cat moving.

Try tossing small toys for your cat to hit and chase. If you're too worn out to play, use fishing pole style toys or pocket flashlights to give me a workout.

Please consider my offerings of dead mice and birds as gifts. I worked hard for them.

The right retirement community for you Selecting the right community is an important deciHow do I start? sion that involves more than choosing a floor plan – it’s Begin researching in advance — before the about lifestyle. In addition to meeting your social, culneed arises. tural, educational and recreational requirements, you’ll A good place to start is to ask family, friends and valwant to know what care options are available should your needs change. Whatever your motivation, here are ued advisors. The internet, professional resources, senior directories, senior information centers, newspapers and a few things to consider: social circles may also provide helpful information.

Are you ready for retirement community living?

Before you say “I’m not ready,” answer these questions: Why am I not ready?

Often, people confuse moving to a retirement community with giving up their independence. Today’s retirement communities are quite different. They’re for people who want to maintain independence, expand horizons and make their own decisions.

Will I know when I’m ready?

Do you worry about home maintenance? Are you tired of shopping and preparing meals? Do you have health concerns? Are you troubled about personal safety and security? Would you like to explore new interests and meet new friends? Now is the time to experience the freedom a service-enriched retirement lifestyle offers.

“Nothing is more important than Home.”

Why should I consider a move if I’m still healthy?

What better time? Most people need to make housing adjustments as they grow older. Our residents tell us they’re glad they decided to move while the decision was theirs. You’ve planned ahead your whole life. Don’t wait until a crisis forces you into a decision you haven’t prepared for.

Will I have to move again if my health fails?

Most of our residents never have to make another move! While we encourage healthy, active, independent living, we realize circumstances change. That’s why we provide a range of services and support.

Isn’t a retirement community for “old people?”

Throw away your misconceptions about retirement living. Today’s communities are not nursing homes! Enjoy the advantages of an independent lifestyle within a comfortable and burden-free environment. You’ll free yourself from the daily concerns of meal planning and home repairs, while filling your time with new friends and a variety of social and recreational opportunities.

Determine which type of community best fits your needs.

It’s important to understand the different types of community options available and the types of services and support offered. In Kamloops there is a community to fit every budget and lifestyle. Narrow the list to a few possibilities by taking into account location, amenities, activities, support and care options.

Visit the community.

Tour communities in your area to evaluate your options. Get a feel for their “culture.” Sample the dining services by visiting for lunch. Attend a community event. There are numerous opportunities which provide fun-filled, no-pressure invitations to mingle with current residents.

Take your time.

You will likely need more than one visit. Make an appointment with a community representative. They have a wealth of knowledge and are there to help you to determine the perfect mix of services and amenities to meet your needs.

Does a retirement community make sense financially?

When compared to the monthly expenses and upkeep of a house, many of our residents find they actually spend less and gain countless benefits. To help determine if a retirement community makes sense financially, we suggest you ask for a “Make the Comparison Worksheet.”

Do you have a home to sell?

Berwick on the Park has a number of valuable resources to help you make the transition. Here are some tips for getting started: • Contact a realtor to assess the market value of your home • Attend one of our Seniors on the Move Seminars • Work with our downsizing specialists • Receive helpful checklists When shopping for retirement living, consider the Berwick on the Park difference, and make sure you ask about the BCSLA Seal of Approval.

How To Eat Better And Live Healthier by Shopping Local 1. Locally grown food tastes and looks better.

The crops are picked at their peak, and farmstead products like cheeses are handcrafted for best flavour. Livestock products are processed in nearby facilities and typically the farmer has direct relationship with processors, overseeing quality — unlike animals processed in large industrial facilities.

2. Local food is better for you.

The shorter the time between the farm and your table, the less likely it is that nutrients will be lost from fresh food. Food imported from far away is older and has traveled on trucks or planes, and sat in warehouses before it gets to you.

3. Local food preserves genetic diversity.

In the modern agricultural system, plant varieties are chosen for their ability to ripen uniformly, withstand harvesting, survive packing and last a long time on the shelf, so there is limited genetic diversity in large-scale production. Smaller local farms, in contrast, often grow many different varieties of crops to provide a long harvest season, an array of colours and the best flavours. Livestock diversity is also higher where there are many small farms rather than few large farms.

4. Local food is safe.

There’s a unique kind of assurance that comes from looking a farmer in the eye at farmers’ market or driving by the fields where your food comes from. Local farmers aren’t anonymous and they take their responsibility to the consumer seriously.

5. Local food supports local families.

The wholesale prices that farmers get for their products are low, often near the cost of production. Local farmers who sell direct to consumers cut out the middleman and get full retail price for their food, which helps farm families stay on the land.

6. Local food builds community.

When you buy direct from a farmer, you’re engaging in a time-honored connection between eater and grower. Knowing farmers gives you insight into the seasons, the land and your food. In many cases, it gives you access to a place where your children and grandchildren can go to learn about nature and agriculture.

7. Local food preserves open space.

When farmers get paid for their products by marketing locally, they’re less likely to sell farmland for development. When you buy locally grown food, you’re doing something proactive to preserve our working landscape.

That landscape is an essential ingredient to other economic activity in the state, such as tourism and recreation.

8. Local food keeps taxes down.

According to several studies by the American Farmland Trust, farms contribute more in taxes than they require in services, whereas most development contributes less in taxes than the cost of required services. Cows don’t go to school, tomatoes don’t dial 911.

9. Local food benefits the environment and wildlife.

Well-managed farms provide ecosystem services: they conserve fertile soil, protect water sources and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. The farm environment is a patchwork of fields, meadows, woods, ponds and buildings that provide habitat for wildlife in our communities.

10. Local food is an investment in the future.

By supporting local farmers today, you are helping to ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow. That is a matter of importance for food security, especially in light of an uncertain energy future and our current reliance on fossil fuels to produce, package, distribute and store food.

Top 10 consumer questions Answered by Wayne Richardson: Owner and Shoe Guru.

Athletic Career: 29 marathons, 35+ ultra marathons, Ironman, and many more!

PUTTING FEET FIRST

WE ARE PROFESSIONAL “SHOE FITTERS” NOT “SHOE FETCHERS”

THE PROPER FIT IS CRUCIAL TO YOUR HEALTH, COMFORT & WELL BEING.

TIPS:

• If you're already a runner, bring your current running shoes with you to the store. We can look at the wear on the bottom of your running shoes to get some more insight into your running style.

• Make sure you get your foot measured while you're standing up.

• If you use orthotics or custom-fit insoles, bring them with you to try on your running shoes. You need running shoes that are roomy enough to accommodate your insoles.

• Don't pick running shoes based on the colors or style. Just because they look cute doesn't mean they'll be the best running shoe for you!

Question: I always seem to get blisters.

Why is that?

Answer: This is one of the top questions we get asked! Blisters are caused by friction or movement. The two most common causes we see are: 1) shoes that aren’t tied properly, and 2) cotton socks. While cotton breathes well, it doesn’t wick moisture away. A foot that’s wet or damp is much more likely to blister.

Question: My toenails go black/blue when I run. What’s with that?

Answer: If your toenails are going black, it’s most likely because they’re hitting the end of your shoe.

The two biggest reasons for this are: that a)your shoes are too short or b) your shoes are laced incorrectly.

Question: How long should running shoes last before I need to replace them?

Answer: This all depends on you! A 270lb linebacker will need to replace shoes more often than a 125lb female triathlete. Your activity, weight, and gait will all determine how long this is. The industry standard is 500 miles or 800 kms.

Question: I’ve had my shoes for five years.

How do I tell when they’re worn out?

Answer: If you are feeling more achy than normal, have a recurring tender area or injury, chances are that your shoes are needing a replacement! We can assess your footwear to see if there’s any life left in them.

Question: I have custom orthotics. Do you have shoes that will accommodate them?

Answer: Yes! We have shoes that not only will fit your orthotics, but have the right support to make sure that they are being used effectively. We have hikers, walkers, runners, and even sandals that will work!

Question: I have plantar fasciitis. You can’t help with that, can you?

Answer: Yes, we can! We see multiple customers daily with a variety of foot ailments, including plantar fasciitis. We carry products like compression socks, night splits and foam rollers than can help lessen your pain and fix your problems.

Question: I’m a walker. You don’t have anything for me, do you?

Answer: Absolutely! We have classic leather walking shoes for men and women to supplement our collection of breathable running shoes that can be used for walking.

Question: I’m a size 14 2E, no-one seems to carry big sizes. Do you?

Answer: We carry shoes ranging from infants all the way to size 22! We even have a special section in our store for large sized shoes: thirteen and up!

If you need a size we don’t carry, big or small, we can order it!

Question: I heard your running shoes are more expensive than other stores. Is that true?

Answer: That’s a big misconception! We charge MSRP, or Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price, like all other merchants in town. The difference is, our trained staff will fit your feet to the right shoes for no extra charge!

Question: My friends all wear brand “XYZ”, do you carry those?

Answer: We carry over 15 different shoe brands in the store! However, just because those shoes work for your friends doesn’t mean that they’ll work for you! Everybody’s feet are unique and need different types of support, shapes, and sizes.

What To Expect During a DENTAL VISIT On your first visit, your dentist will take a full health history. On follow-up visits, if your health status has changed, make sure to tell your dentist. Here’s what you can expect during most trips to the dentist.

A Thorough Cleaning A dental hygienist or dentist will scrape along and below the gum line to remove built-up plaque and tartar that can cause gum disease, cavities, bad breath and other problems. Then he or she will polish and floss your teeth.

A Full Dental Examination Your dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and mouth, looking for signs of disease or other problems.

Digital X-Rays X-rays can diagnose problems otherwise unnoticed, such as damage to jawbones, impacted teeth, abscesses, cysts or tumors and decay between the teeth.

When we take an x-ray of your teeth during your dental check-up or assessment, we now use the latest in digital x-ray technology. Sensors are used instead of photographic film, and those sensors connect directly to our computer system for immediate diagnosis What To Look for in a Dentist Take your time choosing a dentist — don’t wait for an emergency! There are several things to consider when looking for a dentist.

Location and office hours Choose a dentist close to home or work. This will make it easier to schedule visits and to arrive on time. Also, make sure that the dental office is open on the days and at the times when you are able to schedule an appointment.

Cost Does the dentist accept your insurance? Does the dentist offer multiple payment options (credit cards, personal checks, payment plans)?

If your insurance plan requires referrals to specialists, can this dentist provide them?

Also, be aware that costs vary by practice. If you can, get estimates of what your dentist might charge for common procedures such as fillings, crowns or root canal therapy. Even if you have dental insurance, you may be paying part of the costs yourself.

Personal comfort One of the most important things to consider when you choose a dentist is whether you feel comfortable with that person. Are you able to explain symptoms and ask questions? Do you feel like the dentist hears and understands your concerns? Would you feel comfortable asking for pain medicine, expressing your fear or anxiety or asking questions about a procedure?

Professional qualifications The dentist’s office should be able to tell you about the dentist’s training. The office also should have policies on infection control. If the staff seems uncomfortable answering your questions, or you are uncomfortable with their answers, consider finding another dentist. You can also obtain information about a dentist’s qualifications from the local dental society or your insurance carrier. Most organizations of specialty dentists also list their members and qualifications.
