THE CHILLIWACK PROGRESS, Wednesday, April 22, 1987 B7 Volleyball Vedder girls lose in tourney College in Langley, May 13-15, to attend a "band camp." This camp was financed mainly through the selling of chocolate almonds by band students over the last few months. Activities at the camp will include dances, concerts and private meeting during one of our recesses to discuss where honor and service students wished to take their annual field trip. The group consensus was to travel to Vancouver to Playland sometime during May. Band students from Grades 9 and 10 will be travelling to Trinity Western CHILLIWACK COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL o53 Presents InnieHawkinsX THE ROCK 'n' ROLL LEGEND J0yl NJfeP itf by Nigel Woods, Vedder Junior Secondary The week before Easter was a busy one in all aspects of VJSS's extracurricular activities. Last Wednesday (April 15), the Grade 9 girls' volleyball team played in a tournament at Vedder.

The girls won their first match against A.D. Rundle, but then lost to Rosedale. In the semifinals, Vedder Junior lost two games to a stronger Chilliwack Junior team. Their last contest was with Rosedale, which Vedder lost two games to one. Outstanding players for VJSS were Cindy Vermeer, Carmen Brett and Pernille Dolleris.

The team was coached by Catherine Bourget. As well last week, the girls' soccer team lost a close game to Sardis, 2-1. Vedder's only goal was scored by Belinda Bertrand on assists from Davina Soumang and Stacey Parcher. On April 29, Vedder will hold its annual spring prom. This year, the dance will be presented by the C-FOX Road Show.

Tickets will go on sale soon. Earlier this year, several students in Grades 9 and 10 participated in the Pascal contest and the Gauss tests. The Grade 9s took the Gauss contest, and the three students with the highest scores from Vedder were Johnathon Wiens, Jeremy Goodwin and Brandon Collie. Last week, the school held a v.

Quebec students at Rosedale East-west exchange here TICKETS 7 and 1 CHILLIWACK YMYVVCA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING A COUNTRY MUSIC JAMBOREE Featuring The Little Mountain Band and The High Sierra Band Performing Bluegrass, Western Swing and Traditional Country Music SATURDAY MAY 2 7:30 PM AG REC CENTRE TICKETS 7 STUSEN J6 Letters were exchanged last fall between the schools and with Open House Canada, which pays the entire cost of airfare and bus transportation from the airport to their host communities. The dates were confirmed, with the Cowansville students visiting Rosedale from April 16-22, and Rosedale students travelling to Cowansville May 14-20. One major difference between the two groups of students is the schools themselves. Rosedale Junior has about 155 students, while visiting school counsellor Stephane Bellegarde said his school has a population of about 2,900.

Bellegarde said it operates as a regional high school for about 1,500 French and 1,400 English students. Some English students attend "from as far away as 40 miles," he stated. Matthews credited Rosedale Junior teacher George Epp with developing the itinerary for hosts and visitors. It included an entire day in Vancouver on Saturday, a picnic at Ryder Lake on Monday, and history excursion from Chilliwack to Ft. Langley and then across the Fraser River on the Albion Ferry and along the north shore to Agassiz on Tuesday.

During the stay, visiting students were billeted on a one-to-one basis in the homes of their host students. The same student pairings will continue on the Quebec leg of the exchange. Rosedale Junior Secondary bid farewell this morning (Wednesday) to 23 students from Quebec, who have been visiting for the past week as part of an Open House Canada exchange. Chilliwack area has basic points in common with the Rosedale visitors' home community, Cowansville, located south of Montreal in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Both are within 60 miles of one of the three largest cities in Canada, Vancouver and Montreal.

Both Chilliwack and Cowansville have farming as their economic mainstay. Both are within 100 miles of the border; each is attempting to further develop an existing tourism industry; and both have commercial skiing facilities within an hour's drive. Rosedale principal Les Matthews said the exchange between Rosedale Junior and L'Ecole Polyvalente Massey-Vanier in Cowansville, Que. resulted from "an interesting chain of events." The visitors' school was named after former governors-general of Canada, Vincent Massey and George Vanier. Matthews said the idea for a Rosedale student exchange originated with teacher Kelly Cooper.

Matthews said he discovered Quebec school also wanted an east-west exchange, and he made initial contact with the Cowansville officials last summer during a visit there, his mother's home town.

Most allergy sufferers are looking for antihistamines to help relieve symptoms of cough, cold, and certain skin conditions. There are numerous brands on the market to choose from. Most of the antihistamines cause varying degrees of drowsiness, and so caution should be used when driving or operating dangerous machinery. They also cause a dry mouth; it is especially important to brush your teeth regularly if you develop dry mouth. There are some non-drowsy formulas now available on the market.

However, caution should be exercised when taking any antihistamines and other prescription drugs. It is also important to keep up the humidity in the house to about 50 to help keep the dust down. Antihistamines can also be used to prevent the itch and swelling from insect bites and nettle stings.
