Mould Intolerance

With the days finally getting longer and spring just around the corner those of you with seasonal allergies may be dreading the coming warmer seasons. While allergies to grasses, trees and pollens are still a way off, there is another early season allergen that can cause us trouble as soon as the snow starts to melt. Snow moulds are some of the most common contributors to seasonal allergies and cause congestion, itchy eyes, asthma, sneezing, coughing and rashes.

The mould spores are found in the soil and grow in moist conditions around freezing.

As the snow melts the spores are released from the soil and become airborne where they find their way to our skin and respiratory system. This is nothing to sneeze at, 10 million Canadians suffer allergy symptoms, 55 per cent claim allergies cut into their productivity and more than a quarter say they'll limit their outdoor time to prevent the onset of symptoms.

Kootenay Health Center

If early spring allergic symptoms get you down, these little known spores called snow mould may be the cause. The most common snow moulds found in Western Canada are Cottony - Coprinus psychromorbidus, Pink - Microdochium nivale (Fusarium nivale), Sclerotinia Myriosclerotina borealis (Sclerotinia borealis) and Speckled - Typhula ishikariensis. As the snow melts look for white, pink or black fibrous strands, speckles or blotches on the leaves of plants or grasses.

Sometimes the grass will have a white or black mat. These are telltale signs of snow moulds.

Of course mould also grows indoors and if you have had water problems in your bathroom or have a soil basement, odds are you also have mold growing there. Other symptoms of chronic mould exposure might be getting chronic colds or recovering very slowly from a cold, feeling run down, headaches and wanting to sleep all the time.

Pooch wins big in U.S. competition

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Margie Leopold, holding her champion Siberian Husky, Nash, accepts the award at the 2012 SHCA National Specialty Show.

People in Cranbrook know Margie Leopold as the owner of Pretty

Pooch and the person who trains and grooms their pets. To the dog

www.kootenayadvertiser.com A5 breeders and spectators at the 2012 SHCA National Specialty show held in Utah recently, Leopold is known as a breeder of championship Siberian Huskies.

This past competition, Leopold took her Siberian Husky, Nash, (named after Steve Nash) to the show where she competed against more than 400 other huskies in 700 entries, taking home a fourth place finish in Bred by Exhibitor class.

“It was a huge win for a Canadian,” said Leopold. “Dogs from around the world were there and from just about every state in the U.S.” Nash is from the first litter of Siberians bred

by Leopold and is a known champion, having the Canadian Regional Award of Merit as one of his past accomplishments.

And in case you think that these shows are purely for looks, here is an excerpt from the Amerian Kennel Club specifications for showing a Siberian Husky: “The most important breed characteristics of the Siberian Husky are medium size, moderate bone, well balanced proportions, ease and freedom of movement, proper coat, pleasing head and ears, correct tail, and good disposition. Any appearance of excessive bone or weight, constricted or clumsy gait, or long, rough coat should be penalized. The Siberian Husky never appears so heavy or coarse as to suggest a freighting animal; nor is he so light and fragile as to suggest a sprint-racing animal. In both sexes the Siberian Husky gives

the appearance of being capable of great endurance. In addition to the faults already noted, the obvious structural faults common to all breeds are as undesirable in the Siberian Husky as in any other breed, even though they are not specifically

mentioned herein.”

And those specifications are only physical.

To show a dog a lot more has to be accoutned for.

“A dog has to be special to be in these kinds of shows. It has to be healthy, fit, have a great temperment,” said Leo-

pold. “These shows can be very stressful—lots of dogs and noise. This means they have to be well socialized and have to have a good temperment for judging. I start training them as puppies for socialization.”

Time is precious.

A Jaffray woman has found out just how precious this commodity is after learning that she will require a double lung transplant to live.

Kelly Guenther is looking forward to the community stepping up and helping her to survive to enjoy at least a little more time with her children and grandchildren. This February 10, at the Jaffray Hall, residents are invited to dinner and auctions to help in this difficult time.

Guenther has Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a condition in which the body does not make enough of a protein that protects the lungs and liver from damage. The condition can lead to emphysema and liver disease. This causes Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, (COPD).

“It’s totally irreversible,” said Guenther.

“I need a double lung transplant to save my life now.”

While she has had this condition for most of her life, Guenther spent many years being misdiagnosed before a doctor found the real cause of her illness.

“They would tell me I had panic and anxiety. I told them they would panic too if they couldn’t breathe.”

The procedure will take place at the University Hospital in Edmonton. Guenther has just learned that she has been accepted for a six-week physiotherapy regimen that she must undergo to strengthen her body for the operation.

After the operation however, she will need

Grandmother Nellie Lightburn and father Rick Lightburn are hoping that area residents will show up for an auction and dinner to help Kelly (Lightburn) Guenther (seated) as she is soon to undergo a double lung transplant. to stay in Edmonton for three to six months to recover.

“They are very strict about having someone there with me,” said Guenther. “My husband’s work will accommodate him as much as they can, but he may have to leave from time to time.”

Because of the extended stay in Edmonton, Rick Lightburn, Guenther’s father, said that the family could use any funds possible to help. While the operation and anti-rejection drugs should be covered, the accommodations and possibly some other medical costs will come out of the family’s pocket.

On February 10, the family is hoping that

residents of Jaffray and the surrounding area will come to the Jaffray Hall for a lasagne dinner and a live and silent auction, with the proceeds going to help Guenther’s family. Donations will also be welcome.

Items up for auction include packages put together by local businesses, artists and residents who have donated valuable items to help give Guenther the precious time needed to watch her grandchildren grow up.

Player spotlight: Captain Joey Leach Twenty-year-old Defenseman Joey Leach was recently named as Captain for the remainder of the 2012-2013 season.

Leach is the second captain this year following the departure of Drew Czerwonka this past October.

Stats, 2012 -13 Regular Season: GP: 40 G: 3 A: 16 PTS: 19 +/–: 17 PIM: 30

“Leadership is important on any team and it comes from within. When you have a young team it is even more important to have players that know what it takes to win and develop that winning culture. All four players wearing letters were a part of our 2011 Championship Team and understand the standard of excellence we strive to accomplish” said Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club.

Kootenay Christian Academy was awarded $500 at the Kootenay Ice School Spirit night game. KCA had over 100 people dressed in yellow and green with their faces painted by KCA’s preschool teacher (Miss Natalie) and the principal (Mrs. Sabbagh).

KCA wants to thank Jagger Dirk and Mike Simpson from the Kootenay Ice and Peter Stefano from Falkins Insurance for presenting this generous gift of $500 dollars to KCA students. KCA plans to use the money for new volleyball uniforms.

Attention first time home buyers!

Time still remains to take advantage of the New Home Buyers Tax Credit offered by the BC Government. With this program, first time home buyers can qualify for up to $10,000 in rebates on new home construction.

Fisher Peak Townhomes by New Dawn Developments provides the perfect fit for this rebate program. Starting at just $259,000 including HST, the brand new three-bedroom home design includes features such as an attached garage, granite counter tops and a full GE appliance package. An open concept kitchen, dining and living room offers plenty of space for everyday life.

All bedrooms are spacious, and two of the three bedrooms offer walk-in closets. There is a twopiece powder room in the main living area and a full bath including a linen closet on the upper floor.

Granite bathroom counters and bright lighting add to the feeling of quality.

A bonus walk-out area on the entry level is developed and can be used as a fourth bedroom, media room, exercise area, play room...the list goes on.

Two-inch faux wood window blinds are included throughout.

Fisher Peak Townhomes were constructed to the specifications of “Built Green – Platinum Level.”

This signifies that the homes have improved air

quality, are energy efficient, and have reduced water consumption and low-maintenance exteriors. In addition, the next units in Fisher Peak will also have air source heat pumps which will help on heating and cooling costs year round.

Nestled in the established neighbourhood of Kelowna Crescent in Cranbrook, Fisher Peak Townhomes supports urban development rather than sprawl. You will save 10% on CMHC fees thanks to the Built Green Energuide Rating of Fisher Peak plus you will notice the cost to operate your home will be up to 60% lower than a home build without Built Green Specifications.

The first two buildings at Fisher Peak are sold out and construction has begun on buildings three and four. Upon completion, the full Fisher Peak Townhomes development will encompass eight buildings with a total of 24 townhome units.

New Dawn Developments has been building throughout the East Kootenay for over 30 years.

Specializing in custom homes of all sizes as well as commercial, multi-family and renovation and projects, New Dawn promises to finish your project on time and on budget.

Call 250-489-1519 to learn more on Fisher Peak Townhomes – where style and price meet.

Tips on researching flooring trends for look, cost and durability Resisting the temptation of exotic wood flooring will be extremely difficult this year. We will all be dreaming about African mahogany with its warm, classy tones: sand, terracotta, copper, caramel, and even green and blue.

Rustic hickory and dark knotty walnut are also high on the dream-renovation list. Luckily for us, hardwood flooring is now available in a huge range of different finishes. Your natural wood floor can be hand scraped, brushed, or distressed in order to highlight knots and grains.

New colours and contrasting tones are also on offer.

Easier to maintain,

the new hardwood floors that are factory sealed and oiled have a smoother, glossier finish. Pre-varnished wood now comes with embossed surfaces that create a wave-like effect.

Moreover, advances in nanotechnology have enabled the production of a varnish with more effective anti-abrasive qualities. Whether prevarnished or pre-oiled, the new engineered wood floors, which can be used as floating floor or glued directly to the subfloor, ensure good soundproofing. Another new trend: wood floors with wide planks that create a rustic look.

The latest in ceramics is perfect for both floors

and walls. New porcelain stoneware tiles create a contemporary look.

Ceramic and precisionground enameled porcelain have now taken on the form of planks that vary in shade and texture to imitate wood.

And PVC flooring, which imitates wood and even stone, is also available. Innovations in linoleum production have allowed manufacturers to produce a wide range of textures and colours, including an imitation leather that uses eco-friendly materials.

The latest trends will allow you to choose from some interesting innovations, but of course you will need to take into account the demands of each room before settling on a

choice. If your main criterion is comfort, for a bedroom or living room for example, carpet is a traditional choice.

For the more environmentally minded, hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, or a floating wood floor are also great choices.

For rooms with higher humidity levels, such as a bathroom or kitchen, ceramic is an especially suitable type of flooring to consider. You could also opt for vinyl or the new types of laminate, which are water-resistant. Natural stone could be an interesting choice here. Engineered hardwood flooring is also a good option for the kitchen, as it is durable and easy to maintain, a perfect combination for this part of your home.

Photo submitted

Being aware of the many trends available in flooring will help you make the best decision about how you cover your floors.

Flooring in the dining room must be stain resistant. Choose wood, laminate, vinyl, or a dark-coloured carpet.

For high traffic areas, such as the entrance hall or the family room, opt for a durable and comfortable floorcovering such as carpeting, hardwood, engineered hardwood, or laminate.

For the basement, it is very important that the subfloor be well insulated. Suitable flooring could include carpet, engineered hardwood, laminate, or vinyl. Cork flooring is a great choice for a home cinema room or playroom because of its excellent soundproofing qualities.

For help in making the right choice, consult an interior deco-

rator who will be able to give you advice on the style, colour, texture, and motif of your floorcovering for the specific purpose of the room. Most of these specialists offer a free home consultation, and some are equipped with visual software that will give you a good idea of what the final result will look like.

SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Cranbrook Dodge is pleased to commence 2013 with the continued addition of Norm Zulps in the position of Service Manager for their full-line Dodge, Chrysler, Ram & Jeep dealership.

He joined the team in May of 2012, and has been an integral part of continuing to build on our valued reputation within the community.

Norm grew up in North Vancouver, and has always had a keen interest in cars, motorcycles and woodworking.

His dealership experience began with Regency Chrysler in 1988, where he progressed from Service Advisor to Tower Operator to Service Manager.

In 1995 he and his wife moved to Kelowna as they started their family, where he took the position of Norm Zulps Service Manager at Scott Chrysler (now Okanagan Dodge) and continued there until 2004.

He changed career paths into the construction Àeld, but the pull of the fast pace and customer contact of the auto industry was too strong.

Norm jumped at the opportunity to join the team at Cranbrook Dodge as Service Manager when it was offered to him by his long-time friend Dave Girling, in May of 2012.

He and his wife Kathy and two daughters are looking forward to continuing to explore Cranbrook and the surrounding Kootenay area, and becoming part of the community. It just may take a bit to break him of his 17 years of cheering for the Rockets when attending our Kootenay Ice games.

Long-live the new type of grandparent! of the prevalence of reconstituted families, many grandchildren now find themselves the beneficiaries of more than one set of grandparents.

But this multiplicity of grandmothers and grandfathers can raise the question of what kind of role they should play. It is always a good idea for grandparents to ask themselves what kind of grandpa or grandma they want to be.

What values do they wish to transmit? How far can they go without being too intrusive or offending anyone?

The whole family will benefit from frank discussions between children, parents, and

grandparents.

One thing is for certain: grand-parenting can be a truly enriching experience. It is often with the grandchildren that we can catch up on lost time with our own now-adult children.

IntergeneratIonal homes When thinking about the practicalities of daily life with young children and aging parents, an intergenerational home, also called a bi-generational home, is a great option to consider. It is a model for living that allows the whole family to be close together while keeping a certain amount of

privacy. It can make becoming homeowners easier for younger adults, and it allows adult children to have support with childcare and childrearing.

Conversely, sharing a home provides aging parents an alternative to isolation. It can also provide them the kind of support that would let them to stay out of a seniors’ home for longer.

Building an intergenerational home or renovating an existing house is a challenge that must take into account privacy requirements and financial resources.

The legal aspects of this type of project are also of vital impor-

tance and should not be overlooked. Above all, parents and grandparents must not let emotions override the need to keep things legally clear regarding home ownership and financial responsibility. While the idea of an intergenerational house is very attractive, everything should be put in writing in order to avoid any unfortunate disagreements.

There is another essential step to take if you’re ready to embark on an intergenerational home project: check your municipality’s regulations about renovations or apartments within homes.

These regulations can

vary from one town to another, so it is essential to carry out a complete enquiry before putting any plans into operation.

In some municipalities, for example, the dimensions of the supplementary living space will be limited to a precise percent-

age of the main living area, or perhaps a communal kitchen will be required. Living in an intergenerational home has many advantages, but in order to make sure the project is nothing but a success, be sure to plan things out fully, down to the very last detail.

Being a grandparent can be a truly enriching experience!

Forget about the old-fashioned image of the grandma who wears her grey hair in a bun and the grandpa who smokes his pipe in a rocking chair on the porch. Today’s grandparents work or go to university, they travel, go to shows, paint, jog, ski, and are far from being ready to give up their active lifestyles.

Old age and grandparenting are no longer synonymous — on average, people these days become grandparents around the age of 50. This means that grandchildren can enjoy long-term relationships with their elders, who are often in excellent health. Indeed, because

Telling the kids that you’re splitting up At the same time, it is important to realize that avoiding the conversation could leave your child in confusion and uncertainty about what is going on in their family.

Telling children about a divorce or a separation is never easy, and that is why it is so important to keep your explanation simple and honest.

Here are five points to keep in mind: 1. Plan together how

Announcing a separation or divorce is surely one of the hardest conversations a parent will ever have with a child. Telling your child that Mom and Dad will no longer be living together will be a life-changing moment for him or her, one that will likely shake their sense of security and well-being. Above all, you want to minimize the hurt and fear that the news could entail.

to announce your separation to the children. Ideally, both of you should be present for the conversation with them. It isn’t necessary to go into all the details that led to the rupture, but give them enough information so that they don’t feel responsible. This is a time for both parents to set aside their unresolved tensions and to be compassionate in front of their children.

2. It is absolutely essential to make them understand that they have nothing to do with your decision, that they are not to blame in any way.

State clearly that this is a problem between adults and they could have done nothing to prevent it from happening. Don’t string them along with hope for a reconciliation.

3. Continue to show them through your words, actions, and listening that this separation will never change the love you feel for them. Reassure them: explain to them that you will always look after them and that they will continue to spend time with Mom as well as with Dad. 4. Encourage them to express their feelings. Listen to them, be patient, but don’t

When my son started the ABC program, he was reading at a mid-grade one level. We were told by his school he would be fine, he would catch up, every child learns at his own pace, etc. He was in grade 5. He hated going to school; every day was a struggle to get him out the door.

He thought he was going to hate going to the centre too and not get anything out of it. By the end of the first month, I no longer had to fight him to go. He liked the centre and didn’t feel judged or out of place there. My son wanted to learn to read for the first time in his life because he finally believed he would be able to.

We used to hear him tell us how stupid he was. Now he tells us, “I can read, I’m not stupid.” He is more social, fits in better with his peers, and considers them friends. When we go out for dinner, he reads the menu himself. His confidence has soared.

Parent teacher interviews are no longer something we dread. We hear how much his attitude has improved, he tries everything and instead of “I can’t”, “It’s I can.” For the first time since he started school he brings home his report card and can’t wait to see it. It’s all letter grades and he is so proud of it. He has caught up 4 years of school since he started at ABC. Thank you to the centre for giving my son the tools he needs to be successful. It’s the best gift he has received.

make them talk if they don’t feel like it at that point in time.

5. Be ready to answer any questions concerning their new way of life. lIvIng wIth a reconstItuted famIly Does your new spouse have children from a previous union? Are you introducing your own children to a new stepmom or -dad? Coping with this situation is not always easy, especially when you have the distinct impression that the children resent it. So, what is the best way to handle such fragile dynamics?

A bit of empathy is a good place to start.

Children can resist the arrival of a new partner in the life of their father or mother because they perceive the new person as an intruder who is destroying any chances of Mom and Dad getting back together.

After all, while you and your new partner have made a choice to be together, the children have probably had little say in the matter. When seen that way, it’s not surprising that they’re not putting on a grand welcome.

Take your time and let ties build slowly

between children and a new step-parent. That means not imposing your authority on the other’s children, and leaving them the space they need in order to adapt. It also means not trying to buy their affection with gifts or unrealistic promises. Children need honesty in order to feel secure, and they will appreciate your integrity. Naturally, there will be conflicts, but don’t forget that they are children and that you are the adult.

When a problem arises, remember that respectful communication is your best asset.

In your home, does dinnertime mean sitting down together over a balanced meal?

Experts say it is a family habit with many advantages.

Be a member, not a number!

Our individual attention and customized fitness training is designed to help you look and feel better with the aid of our modern weight training programs, cardiovascular equipment and tanning.

How many times a week does your entire family eat together?

Not the five minutes it takes to polish off a bowl of cereal in the morning, but really sitting down together around the table. You are doing well if dinnertime in your home means everyone getting together most evenings over a tasty, home-cooked meal!

Unfortunately, such family meals are rapidly becoming the exception, even if there is plenty of evidence that doing so is beneficial on many levels.

According to the experts, family meals are usually healthier and more balanced

than those eaten in solitude or on the go.

The chances are, a family menu includes more fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, while a solo “heat and eat” dinner is more likely to include the saturated fats and salts commonly found in prepared, processed foods. In family homes where the television is switched off, the body mass index of children is lower.

Studies show that there is a correlation between children and teenagers eating meals with the family and better academic results and a lower dropout rate. Drug and alcohol usage and depression

also seem to diminish among children who eat regularly with their families. That makes sense; after all, taking the time to share a meal, discussing the events of the day, and strengthening family ties is a great and relatively simple way to create a climate of wellbeing and balance in a child’s life.

Perhaps the best way

to manage to sit down all together for at least one meal a day is to plan the week’s menus in advance. Doing so might not be effortfree, but it is a challenge well worth the trouble of taking up.

It can improve family relationships, foster self-esteem, and set everybody up for good health.

Would you be able to give an accurate answer if you were asked what your total monthly income and expenses were? If not, you would probably benefit from keeping closer tabs on your household finances. By staying on top of what’s coming in and what’s going out you can be better prepared for a rainy day. It can also help you tuck money away for dream purchases and be more effective in reducing your debts. By creating a monthly budget, you can keep better track of where your money is going and then decide where you would like it to be going.

To draw up a list of your income and your expenses you need a piece of paper, a pen, monthly bills going back a few payment cycles, and a bit of uninterrupted time.

Draw a line down the middle of the paper and list your sources of income on one side and your expenses on the other. Income is the easiest section to complete: write down all the money you receive

in a month, including any salary, tips, government allowances, and child support payments.

The expenses section can be a bit more difficult. First of all, note all your fixed expenses, meaning all those that recur every month: rent or mortgage, electricity, telephone, cable TV, house and car insurance, child support payments, and any regular school fees. Next, list the other expenses that vary from month to month, such as groceries, car repairs, gas, clothing, and dental care. Lastly, list all discretionary expenses — the non-essentials — such as restaurants, movies, alcohol, lottery tickets, and the like.

This exercise will allow you to see exactly where your money is going and where you will have to cut back in order to save for emergencies or for long-term dreams. If you think you need help with that, you could always consult a financial advisor.

Multiple births, multiple challenges

Caring for more than one infant will be a rollercoaster ride, but with a bit of organization you’ll be sure to manage!

Expecting twins or triplets can be very exciting for new parents. But having “multiples” entails some challenges that must be prepared for well in advance of the births.

During the pregnancy is the best time to start organizing help and support from family and friends. Looking after several children of the same age is a huge challenge, and it will certainly feel like you’re on a rollercoaster ride for a while.

With a bit of organization, however, you’ll be able to enjoy all the beautiful moments the babies will bring you.

- A multiple pregnancy and birth can provoke some strange reactions. Family and friends might hover closely, wanting to be at your service, but this could become overwhelming. Don’t hesitate to express your need for space and rest when it’s necessary.

- Before the due date, schedule some extra help for the first few weeks after the babies are born. Take down the names of all those who are available, and

pencil them in for

assistance in feeding, bathing, and comforting your twins or multiples.

- Prepare as many freeze-and-reheat dishes as you can before the births. They will come in very handy! If your freezer is already full, suggest to family and friends that instead of offering baby-shower gifts, you would really appreciate a batch of frozen home-cooked meals every week while the babies are young.

- Organize a timetable that allows you to get some sleep. It will surely evolve as you get to know your babies’ habits, but it will help you plan some basic rest and support. If you’re breastfeeding, a breast pump will become your most valuable asset, as it lets Dad, family members, or friends take over for a while.

Darling, my mother’s coming for the weekend Do you get along well with your in-laws?

According to experts, difficulty with the inlaws is one of the top three causes of conflict between spouses, along with childrearing and family finances.

We can’t choose our parents, and in a way we can’t choose our in-laws either. But that isn’t necessarily a bad thing; in many families, the mother- and fatherin-law, the uncles, aunts, and all the rest of the clan become acquaintances and often even friends. However, for some couples, the inlaws are a source of annoyance or worse.

These difficult relation-

ships can cause a great deal of tension between spouses, leading to a bumpy and uncertain future.

You or your spouse might not be imagining the problem: some parents-in-law really do go heavy on the criticism or stick their noses where they don’t belong. Alternately, sometimes a spouse can be overly territorial or jealous of filial love.

In the case of “interfering” parents, it is important that spouses protect themselves and stick together if a family member demonstrates such behaviour. And it is equally important that each

Discovering that one’s child has a disability or a serious illness can come as a terrible shock for parents. It means that all the dreams they had previously imagined for their family will no longer be valid. When a diagnosis comes in, the lives of all involved are forever changed in ways no one could have planned for.

On learning the diagnosis, and for years after, parents might experience deep sadness, denial, anger, and guilt as they try as hard as they can to adapt to the situation.

They might feel conflicting feelings toward their child, veering between helplessness

and compassion and resentment. Daily life, filled with worries and challenges, can be so hard to bear that some couples are unable to rely on each other for support, and their relationship suffers or falls apart. And, if everything wasn’t already complicated enough, the often embarrassed or intrusive looks of others reminds parents loud and clear that their child is different.

The great gift in all this is the discovery and acceptance of the fact that these children are complete human beings with strengths, interests, qualities, as well as faults. They have favourite games, they might love to

In order to blossom and even surpass themselves, children with disabilities need to be loved and accepted for all their gifts and challenges — as do all children.

Sibling rivalry

laugh and be silly, and they can have their own unique talents and ways to touch the hearts of those around them. This is what family and friends must discover. Above and beyond the prognosis, these children must be allowed to spread their wings as wide as they are able to. Like any child, they want to blossom and surpass themselves, and they want to be loved and accepted for who they are, the way they are.

When to interverne?

Arguments between brothers and sisters are inevitable. Children disagreeing over a toy or because one has more juice than the other is an everyday occurrence that can certainly leave parents feeling stressed.

The good news is that these types of arguments are harmless and normal. If the arguments get out of hand and deteriorate into physical confrontations, however, limits need to be set.

Whatever the source of the conflict may be, your children have to understand that injuring one another is out of bounds. It is imperative that every child feel safe in his or her own home. When a quarrel degenerates into a fight, separate the children, put a stop to whatever was happening, and explain why you’re doing it.

When regular squabbles break out, try not to automatically interfere with a judgment: children can learn to settle their disagreements by themselves. It is especially important to not take sides if you don’t know how it all started. That doesn’t mean you should ignore the situation; rather, avoid becoming the referee every time. Teach them to express their feelings and help them name their needs, such as for fairness, safety, cooperation, creativity, or independence. Help them articulate what they are really fighting about, for example: “I’m angry because you don’t want to let me hold the remote. I want to have my fair turn”.

Show them how to listen to each other, to negotiate, and to find satisfactory compromises together.

Remember that children learn by example, and that they are watching and listening when you are having a disagreement with your spouse or another adult. Try to practice what you preach!

Nu-Life The Nu-Science of Multivitamins!

(For mom & dad) After years of scientific research, Nu-Life has developed a revolutionary next generation of nutrient absorption technology – Trisorb. Nu-Life designed Trisorb with one goal in mind: To make sure the nutrients you need are 100% available for fast and efficient absorption into the cells. It works in 3 ways: 1. Microencapsulated Nutrients: A protective coating that surrounds tiny nutrient particles, allowing for the release of all active ingredients in the upper intestine instead of the stomach.

2. Nanospheres: Precise portions of nutrients are reduced to micron-size – 50 times smaller for absorption into the cells.

3. Nutrient Triturates: Properly disperses key nutrients to provide better nutrient availability & allow for improved, more natural absorption, similar to how nutrients appear in food.

Sisu Teens Multi Studies show that 25% of the calorie intake among Canadian children and teenagers comes from low nutrient foods such as unhealthy snack foods, sugars and unhealthy fats. Nutrient deficiencies are associated with obesity and a variety of mental and physical health conditions. According to statistics, in the past 25 years the number of overweight teenagers has tripled.

Sisu Mini Vits for Children Going to school daily, children are exposed to every germ that goes around. This makes good immune health vital. The most important job today’s children have is to learn. The more they learn while young, the better they will cope with adult life in the times we live in. One of the best ways to support brain development and therefore learning is with plenty of B vitamins. Childhood is the only time we have to grow strong bones and teeth to keep us healthy for a lifetime, so it’s important for children to get plenty of bone –supporting nutrients – MiniVits contain 200mg of calcium for that purpose. But calcium can only do its work in the presence of adequate magnesium and Vitamin D, so MiniVits includes these nutrients too. Most of the minerals in MiniVits are included in their citrate form

Is your family ready for a pet?

Before you completely give up your heart to the cuddly little ball of fur in front of you, take a few minutes to think over the pet ownership question carefully. Having a cat, dog, hamster, or even a parrot or fish is a commitment that you will have to stick to every day, for years to come.

Is your family ready to take on all the responsibilities that keeping a pet entails?

If your children are planning to be involved, discuss the sharing of pet-related chores ahead of time.

Be prepared to take on the commitment if others shirk theirs, otherwise the animal will suffer. It might not be reasonable to expect kids to follow through without encouragement or reminders, so don’t be surprised to find yourself asking who wants to take the dog for a walk or who is going to feed the cat or clean the aquarium.

While both children and pets are young, it will also be necessary to be vigilant about handling the animal: a loving cuddle can be a life-threatening

squeeze for a kitten or a hamster!

Despite the caveats, acquiring a pet has many advantages, as long as you choose the right animal. That means choosing one that all the family will like, one that suits your lifestyle and will have every chance of being happy in your home. Every animal has different needs, needs that you will be responsible for meeting in order to ensure its well-being. So, before making a decision, do some research and talk with family

members about their expectations. Find out all you can about the animal you wish to adopt and the ways its presence will affect the daily routines of your family.

For children, the presence of a pet can be a source of real pleasure and a good way to learn to be gentle, patient, and respectful.

However, children’s safety should never be neglected: close parental supervision is necessary so that both child and animal can experience a positive relationship.

Modern dads do it their way Fatherhood has sure changed in the last 40 years or so. Not too long ago, dads were pretty much limited to the role of provider and breadwinner, taking care of the physical needs of their families. Nowadays, at least in the western world, fatherhood entails a much more active role in the daily life of the home and family members.

The modern dad changes diapers, bottle-feeds the baby, and takes his turn cooking supper and washing the toilet. He is more actively involved in childrearing without

being merely the disciplinarian of the house.

It’s nice to think that this new role isn’t an imposition, but rather a choice: dads now elect to have more of a presence in the lives of their children.

And a fully present dad does make a difference: several recent studies have shown that the involvement of the father or father-figure positively affects a child’s development. Among other things, a healthy father-child relationship can facilitate a more rapid adaptation to the outside world and a greater

ability to confront the unknown. Young children who have a father-figure who plays with them and teases them gently can socialize more easily with other children.

Despite all this, many young fathers are afraid to get involved because they’re not sure how or simply because they are not given the chance by their parenting partner. Moms need to understand that being a competent father doesn’t mean doing things the same way as a mother. Being a dad is different but just as important!

With the support of the EKCCRR sponsoring society ‘Community Connections Society of Southeast BC’ an application was submitted to the Columbia Basin Trust and the College of the Rockies School Works Program to hire a student to help run Crafty Creations on days that the EKCCRR office was not open, therefore the expansion happened and the craft store has grown from a small space to a larger space located at the EKCCRR office.
