The Second Castlegar Boy Scouts were busy April 4 doing their part to keep the
area a bit cleaner by collecting newspapers at a drop-off station in Safeway's park-
ing lot in Castlegar. The newspaper collection will take place the first Saturday of
every month for the next two months. Members of the United Church will be taking
charge of the newspaper pick up in May and the Union of Spiritual Communities of
Christ will be manning the pick up in June. The Regional District of Central Koote-
nay recycling truck is used to haul the papers away. Any group who would like to be
involved in this project is welcomed to do so.

brochure called, “Facts About
Hay Fever” to help hay fever suf-

LUNG.

According to the BCLA, hay
fever is an inflammation of the
lining of the nose brought on by a
reaction to an allergic mecha-
nism. Although the symptoms are
like a summer cold, hay fever is a
result of allergies to trees, grass
or ragweed pollen, rather than a
virus.

“You could react to one or
more pollens from plants that
pollinate throughout different
seasons and your hay fever may
last from early spring to the first
frost. Unfortunately, many people
are sensitive to dust, dog or cat
dander, mold or other airborne
material, and they may suffer all
year round,” says Kelly Ablog-
Morrant, BCLA Director of
Health Education and Program
Services.

Ablog-Morrant suggests that
avoiding the substance that caus-
es your reaction is the best way
to control hay fever. Here are
some tips to help avoid hay fever
symptoms:

Keep doors and windows
closed. This decreases indoor
pollen and mold spore concentra-
tions.

Use air conditioning and puri-
fying devices whenever possible.

Vacuum frequently, and clean
rooms with a damp mop.

Steer clear of pets. If pets trig-
ger your allergies, keep them out-
