The $100,000 question: How to improve on Rutland?

Kelowna shelter helping seized dogs, horses

Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Rutland received plenty of attention Monday at Kelowna council’s weekly public meeting. In addition to approving plans for a new $6 million ultra-violet water treatment system for approximately 20,000 water users on the Back Mountain Irrigation District’s system, council also gave the green light to a new $100,000 plan to ask the public how the money can be spent to improve the city’s most populous residential area. The BMID water treatment plant will be built on five acres in the Joe Rich area and will improve water quality already considered the best in the city. The land it is to be located on is in the Agricultural Land Reserve but the commission that overseas the reserve ruled last year that it could be used for the new plant. The plant is expected to be operational next year and will be tied in with plans for a much more expensive new reservoir for the BMID system, one that will require funding

from either the province or the federal government, or both. Meanwhile, the Our Rutland campaign will see the city put up $100,000 and ask the public to submit ideas for how the money should be spent to improve the Rutland area. Mayor Walter Gray said in addition, the city’s public art fund could be used to get more pieces of public art created for the area. Described by the city as a potential catalyst and one to help generate positive momentum through community-determined, Rutland-focused actions, the Our Rutland project is a partnership between the city, the Uptown Rutland Business Association (URBA), the Rutland Residents Association and The Rutland Unified Stakeholders Team (TRUST). According to the city, the money could be used for one large project or several smaller ones. It is one-time funding and can’t be used for projects already identified in previous planning docuSee Upgrade A10

SPCA animal shelters in Kelowna, Penticton and Kamloops are coming to the aid of 16 seized dogs, mostly standard poodle and golden retriever crosses, and two quarter horses from a rural property in Clearwater. SPCA Const. Kent Kokoska, senior animal protection officer with the B.C. SPCA, said the badly neglected dogs were filthy and severely matted and were living in unacceptable conditions. The horses were also being kept in substandard conditions and were severely matted, with cracked and chipped hooves. Two deceased dogs and one deceased calf were also found on the property. “We are grateful to the Clearwater RCMP for bringing this case to our attention,” said Kokoska. “Our 26 SPCA constables have extensive areas to cover across B.C and we respond to more than 7,000 complaints of animal cruelty each year, so it is very helpful for us to have the support of communities in reporting cases of suspected abuse or neglect.” Kokoska calls the level of neglect of the seized animals “very disturbing” and notes that the investigation is continuing and charges of animal cruelty are pending in the case. The horses are being cared for at the Kamloops SPCA animal shelter, and the dogs divided between the Kelowna and Penticton facilities. The animals are not up for adoption at this stage, but SPCA officials say check out the website www.spca. bc.ca for updates.

Bumpy ride for Springfield driver Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A 49-year-old Kelowna woman is facing possible impaired charges after a two-vehicle crash on Springfield Road Friday night. The Kelowna RCMP received a report of a hit and run on Springfield Road at Spall Road, Jan. 31 at 10:25 p.m. “The caller had apparently been rear-ended by a brown Chevy Cavalier and she believed the driver to be impaired,” said Const. Kris Clark. “Police located the vehicle on the 1800 block of Parkinson Way and identified the driver as a 49-year-old Kelowna woman. Investigators noticed symptoms of impairment and transported the woman to the detachment for further investigation but the woman refused to provide breath samples.” The woman faces potential charges of impaired driving and jail for her refusal to provide a breath sample. She was released on a promise to appear in court April 28. Clark noted that the penalty for refusing to provide a breath sample, upon conviction, is the same as an impaired penalty.

Kelowna Mounties are looking for two men who ripped off around $200 in booze from the Liquids Liquor Store, located at 2395 Gordon Dr., on Saturday evening at 11 p.m. “Shortly before police were called, two men entered the store with their faces covered,” said Const. Kris Clark. “One man placed several bottles of liquor in a bag while the other threatened the clerk with a batlike weapon before both fled on foot towards Gordon Drive.” Anyone with any information is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP, Const L.

An Okanagan College employee who has spent the past decade focused on supporting students and providing leadership in aboriginal education has been selected as the college’s new director of student services. James Coble, a Westbank First Nation band member, joined the college in 2001 as an education advisor and aboriginal mentor. In 2006, he took on responsibility for the aboriginal access and services department, a position he held for eight years. Coble has spent the past nine months in an acting role as manager of student services Coble holds a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Victoria and a master’s degree in exercise psychology, also from UVIC. He is currently pursuing his Doctor of Education with a specialization in leadership in post-secondary contexts from the University of Calgary. During his decade with the college, some of Coble’s key accomplishments include securing nearly $500,000 in grant funding for aboriginal programming and student support, initiating and coordinating new aboriginal student centres, and most notably, leading the Department Of Aboriginal Services through a period of record growth. Okanagan College’s aboriginal student population has grown by more than 240 per cent over the last seven years—the fastest rate of any post-secondary institution in the province.

JAMES Coble is the new director of student services for Okanagan College. “James has been a tremendous asset to Okanagan College, our students and the wider college community and will continue to be in this new role,” explained Charlotte Kushner, Okanagan College vice-president of students. “He has demonstrated a great capacity for leadership and a dedication to students that has resulted in significant growth and success of our aboriginal students. He is a pleasure to work with and is highly valued by his colleagues.” In addition to his service to the college, Coble is a board member of the Westbank First Nation school board, a commissioner of the Westbank

First Nation Economic Development Commission, and is co-chair of the UBC Okanagan/Okanagan College Aboriginal Council. “I’m really looking forward to working more closely with the team in Student Services,” explained Coble. “We have a great group of employees whose dedication to students really comes through. I feel my experience in aboriginal services will be of benefit to the college. “My focus has always been on providing personal attention to students to ensure their success.”

OC BOARD

The chair and vice-

chair of Okanagan College’s Board of Governors will serve in those roles for another year. At a board meeting last week, Tom Styffe was re-elected as board chair and Connie Denesiuk was re-elected as vice-chair. “The opportunity to serve another year as chair is one I welcome,” said Styffe. “My colleagues and I know this is an especially important and challenging time for colleges and the post-secondary sector. Our role in addressing our province’s skills needs is growing and we will be working closely with the communities we serve and the B.C. government on that front.”

Styffe, now semi-retired, is an experienced construction project management professional who spent more than three decades working in the industry. Styffe joined the Okanagan College Board in 2010 and served two years as vice-chair. Denesiuk joined the OC board in 2012 after serving a three-year term as president of the B.C. School Trustees Association. She served on the Okanagan Skaha School Board of Education for 19 years, nine of them in the role of board chair. The chair and vicechair positions are oneyear terms.

Regional BoaRd HigHligHts – JanuaRy 2014 dog Control service Highlights The Regional Board has received information and statistics regarding the Dog Control Service activity during 2013. There were 16,908 dogs licensed in the Central Okanagan at the end of 2013 an increase of almost 30% from 2012. This increase is due in part to efforts to encourage, support and reward Responsible Dog Ownership; the addition of more than 3,800 licenses provided during the October Dog License Amnesty and awareness of the higher $300 fine and zero tolerance for dogs without a license which began January 1st. Those efforts are also helping to increase compliance with dog regulations. There were 632 dogs impounded during 2013, down from 685 in 2012 and continuing a ten year downward trend. The number of dogs euthanized is also decreasing annually: from a high of 306 in 2003 to 52 last year which includes 27 that were initiated by individual dog owners. next Regional Board Meetings • thursday, February 13th – after an 8:30 am Governance and Services Committee meeting and Grant-in-Aid review. • Monday, February 24th – 7:00 pm • thursday, February 27th - 8:30 am Governance & Services Committee Preliminary Budget Review

SHOW A LITTLE HEART…The Global Pet Foods annual Show

The Kelowna man accused of killing Jennifer Cusworth in 1993 may learn the date of his new trial next month. Neil George Snelson

appeared in a Kelowna courtroom via videolink Monday morning to fix a date for trial. Nothing was done, however, and lawyers agreed to meet again March 10, with the intention of scheduling the trial.

Snelson, a father of four, was previously convicted of manslaughter in 2011 and sentenced to 15 years in prison. The B.C. Court of Appeal set aside that conviction just before Christmas because of an error made by the trial

judge. Cusworth, 19, was found beaten and strangled in a ditch on Swamp Road in 1993. She was last seen at a downtown house party two days earlier. Snelson was also at that party, and was arrested in 2009 after police matched his DNA to some found at the crime scene.

A professional driver whose licence was stripped from him for running a yellow light is appealing his sentence. Jeffrey Robert Penz, 39, was sentenced last December to a brief stint in jail and had his licence taken from him for his involvement in a 2010 crash that killed Osoyoos man, Ethan Baptiste. The jail portion of his sentence has been served, the court heard Monday, but the three-year driving suspension is being appealed, and Penz asked the courts to return his driving privileges until the appeal process is completed. The decision on that had yet to be made by press deadline. Penz was driving his fully loaded semi at 80 km/hr on Highway 97 when a pickup truck in oncoming traffic, turned left in front of him at Westlake Road in June 2010. The impact knocked his trailer to the side, causing it to collide with a Toyota Corolla waiting to merge onto Highway 97. The semi flopped onto

New $2m CT scanner purchased

Kelowna General Hospital is making room for a new $2 million topof-the-line CT scanner to replace its existing unit which has been used since 2002. The new machine acquires images at a rate over 32 times faster than the old unit, resulting in much faster scan times with more diagnostic information, according to Interior Health. And that, they say, is great news for both staff and patients, “KGH provides 23,000 CT exams each year,” said IH board chairman Norman Embree. “This investment will help us continue to meet the increasing demand.” CT, or computed tomography, provides detailed, cross-sectional views of all types of tissue. It is often the preferred method for diag-nosing many different cancers and plays a role sin the detection, diagnosis nand treatment of a variety -of vascular disease, spinal problems and injuries because it can clearly show -bones, muscle and blood -vessels in highly detailed o

The driver of the pickup pleaded guilty to failing to yield the right of way and was fined -$1,200. d Penz faced a more sersious sentence due to the fact he is a profession-al driver, and had accrued numerous tickets in the tpast. His licence has been suspended six times in the spast, and he’s racked up 037 convictions for previous traffic violations. Penz’s lawyer unsuccessfully argued that his client drove more miles, therefore was at dhigher risk for minor in-fractions than the average amotorist. o He also pointed out that Penz, recently widoowed, needed to keep his licence so he could support his children.

Robert Hobson cross sections. Like many other areas of the province, the Central Okanagan has an aging population as well as population growth and an increasing number of specialist physicians. And all that adds up an increased demand for CT imaging here. According to IH, 86 per cent of those needing CT scans at KGH are from the Central Okanagan, while approximately 10 per cent come from across the rest of Interior Health region. The remaining four per cent are visitors from outside the region. While radiation lev-

els for all CT scans are deemed safe, the new machine operates with lower radiation dose options. ASiR (Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction) provides low dose images, while Veo, a new application for extremely low dose studies, is particularly valuable in pediatrics. “With new innovations and applications, diagnostic capabilities are improving in leaps and bounds—and that means improved patient care,” said Premier Christy Clark, MLA for Westside-Kelowna. The latest upgrade at KGH—which has seen close a $1 billion in additional buildings and equipment over the last eight years—will cost a total of $2.8 million with the scanner costing $2 million and the required renovations to install it another $800,000. Funding for the project is being provided in a 60-40 split between the province (through Interior Health) and the Central

Okanagan Regional Hospital District. “On behalf of the board we are pleased to support this project,” said Robert Hobson, chairman of the regional hospital district. “New technology along with necessary upgrades for the department will allow faster and more detailed scans, benefiting patients from throughout the Central Okanagan.” Along with the new scanner, future computer and software upgrades have also been purchased to keep the scanner up to date and extend its lifespan. Renovations to install the new scanner are required to accommodate the machine’s additional air conditioning and power demands. The renovations will start with the removal of the existing unit next week. The new unit will be installed in March. KGH has a second CT scanner which will continue to operate throughout the renovation and installation period.

I think Anthony Bourdain’s book Kitchen Confidential probably propelled me into this industry initially. It made me want to cook. 4) My team. I am lucky to be able to bring along my executive chef Ben Kramer and my sous chef Virginia Jensen. They are exceptionally talented individuals. 5) My grandmother lives in Penticton and I have family that lives in the Okanagan Valley. I love the area and have fond recollections of spending summers going fruit picking with my grandparents.

The Canadian Culinary Championships will take place in Kelowna this weekend, bringing together 11 top chefs in Canada seeking the title of “the best.”The participants were asked a series of questions by event organizers about their backgrounds: 1) Place of residence; 2) Birthday; 3) Pick just one “hero” or chef-mentor in your life?; 4) What will be your strength in this competition?; 5) Have you visited Kelowna and/or do you know about the local food scene?

1) Edmonton, Ab. 2) March 3, 1978 1) Thomas Neukom—he mentored me early on in my culinary career, teaching about food, and what it takes to lead. 2) Focus and discipline, I will know to play to my strengths and have the discipline to know when there is enough on the plate. 3) Yes, I visit Kelowna about once year, I am fairly versed in the food scene, although I don’t know all that much about the supply side.

1) Saskatoon, Sask. 2) June 23, 1983 3) If I had to pick just one “hero” I would have to say Chef Tim Appleton, a former instructor of mine and a man that I do not talk to much but when I do, I leave the conversation with more food knowledge and inspiration to better myself and the culinary field. 4) I believe that my strength will come from the practise and preparation that myself and my team are doing. 5) Yes I have been to Kelowna. It was the food and wine that brought me here in the first place and that’s what keeps me coming back again and again.

1) Ottawa, Ont. 2) Feb. 1, 1977 3) My ‘food hero’ would probably be April Bloomfield. She just seems like a real person, authentic and cooks from the heart. 4) I can say that some advantages are that I used to work as a home chef in catering, so I am used to coming on-site to a small/messy/unequipped kitchen and still make it all work, in usually silly deadlines…my restaurant is also incredibly small, it is an open kitchen with many distractions, customers do speak to us as we cook…I am used to multitasking and keeping focused as our menu changes weekly, and styles of food vary greatly…I am blessed to be able to work with many types of cuisines, local and seasonal ingredients. 5) No, I have not been to Kelowna, only Vancouver

The Grand Finale competition of the Canadian Culinary Championships is poised to pack in enormous doses of wattage with its star-studded cast of personalities in attendance. The roster of attendees will include 11 of Canada’s fastest-rising chefs, rock stars Ed Robertson and Barney Bentall, emcee Ashleigh McIvor, a 2010 Olympic gold medallist in freestyle skiing, and seven additional Canadian Olympians who have become household names and role models across the country. All will be converging for the Grand Finale on Feb. 8 at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort. The visiting Olympians joining McIvor will be: • Gabriel Bergen, Olympic silver medallist, rowing • Christine Girard, Olympic bronze medallist, weightlifting • Kristi Richards, twotime Olympian, freestyle skiing • Curtis Myden, Olympic three-time bronze medallist, swimming • Darcy Marquardt, Olympic silver medallist, rowing • Richard Hortness, two-time Olympian, swimming • Jeremiah Brown, Olympic silver medallist, rowing. The Grand Finale is the pinnacle of the Culinary Championships and brings together the 11 top chefs in Canada to compete for the title of Best Chef in Canada for 2014. As the evening of high glamour and fierce competition unfolds, ticket holders will be serenaded by the evening’s musical talent, and motivated by stories of fortitude and triumph from Canadian athletes who made it to the ultimate athletic stage. “There is a definite magic that happens when the chefs, Olympians and musicians get together. They are all striving for excellence in their craft and that creates a sweet and powerful harmony that our guests love,” said Stephen Leckie, CEO and co-founder of Gold Medal Plates and the Canadian Culinary Championships. “It’s not something you experience every day

Toning down the terrorism hysteria

hey train six days a week for four years for one chance at an Olympic

medal. With so much invested, how do our athletes feel about their safety at the winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia? It’s not even a factor. “We don’t even think about it,” said Shandia Cordingley, traveling physiotherapist for the Canadian Olympic snowboard alpine team. Cordingley has accompanied Canada’s best male and female snowboarders to ex-

quisite mountain ranges in the USA, Europe and Canada, helping keep their bodies fit to race at the highest level. This year, the team has been especially busy preparing for and competing in qualifying races that would determine which athletes would compete in Sochi. Their training schedule was relentless. In heat of the summer, they spent six weeks training on the snowfield atop Mount Hood, Oregan, and nearly four weeks at Copper Mountain in Colo-

rado. Another two weeks was spent at a little family-run resort in Kruezberg Pass, Italy, then on to Austria, Slovenia, and Germany. The potential threat to support staff, fans and athletes at these Games seems greater than those past — suicide bombers have never played a role in the media’s pre-Olympic hype. As for the safety of our athletes, the Canadian Olympic Committee is doing what it can to be on top of that issue, so it doesn’t become a greater distraction to the athletes.

Everyone on the Canadian team will receive a cellphone when they arrive in Sochi’s Athlete’s Village. They are briefed on the safety plan and given contact numbers in case of emergency. They fly directly into Sochi, with no internal transfers in Russia. “The COC has a full plan and back-up plan. They organize everything for us so we don’t have to worry about it. It doesn’t even faze me,” said Cordingley. So let the Winter Olympics begin Feb.7.

Still no decisive decision from Gray whether to run again

ill he or decision last week CITY aand won’t he run he said he’ll make CONFIDENTIAL an announcement beagain? With a municifore March 31. pal election coming up “I may take a walk later this year, Kelowna on the beach,” he said, Mayor Walter Gray has alluding to former repeated his assertion Alistair Liberal Prime Minishe’s still trying to figure Waters ter Pierre Trudeau’s that out. famous “long walk in Gray repeated this the snow” where he week what he told the Capital News decided to retire from public office in last month—he plans to make a deci1984. sion about his political future before Gray, who served as mayor from the end of March and will likely de1996 to 2005 before losing the job to cide during an upcoming planned vaformer city counsellor Sharon Shepcation. herd only to win it back six years later I asked him if he was any closer to by defeating Shepherd, has admitted

he is leaning towards retirement. And he’s not the only one. After 22 years on council, Coun. Robert Hobson has also said he is leaning heavily towards calling it quits. And he said he’s not sure what could persuade him to change his mind. But changing the minds of Gray and Hobson is exactly what several of their council colleagues want to do. Behind the scenes, a number are urging the pair to stay on for one more term. Even councillors who don’t always share their political views and positions want them to run again. So in Gray’s case, will he or won’t he? And if he does—or doesn’t—who

else will run for the job? With nearly 10 months to go before the next municipal election, many feel it’s too early to make public pronouncements about political futures. But not if you are the mayor and are thinking of calling it quits. Gray owes it to whoever else is thinking of a run for the mayor’s chair to announce early if he plans to be in the race or not because it will influence others. Two councillors, Luke Stack and Colin Basran, have already said they are considering a mayoral run but would not challenge Gray. Another name floated as a possible contender is Shepherd. But she is likely to be

much less concerned about Gray running again give that she’s challenged him twice and has gone one for one. As for Hobson, council will not only lose its longest serving member if he calls it quits, it will also lose one of its most effective councillors. The long-time chairman of the Central Okanagan Regional District—a position afforded him by his role on Kelowna city council— Hobson brings a regional perspective to the job he does at the city council table. And that is needed in an area dominated by Kelowna because of its sheer size, but one that includes sev-

So few waterfront spaces left in Kelowna To the editor: I have been waiting to see if anyone, more than just the obviously orchestrated tourism sector, thinks a two- or three-storey building at the foot of Queensway is a good idea. It’s taken awhile but others, with a broader perspective of what would be best for our community, have started to challenge the wisdom of blocking one of the very few remaining open views of Okanagan Lake left downtown. There is nothing logical about this choice, other than it is owned by the city and can be developed without additional land costs. Traffic congestion in this area is already remarkably bad before RVs, trailers and masses of tourists invade this very limited space. Okanagan Lake is arguably Kelowna’s

greatest asset. Historically, we have done a very poor job of protecting it or keeping it open and available for either our citizens or visitors. All we have downtown as a remaining open view is between the new yacht club and the entrance to City Park—a very slow 10 minute walk, at most. Unless we, as residents, make a point of visiting the beach, we could almost be living anywhere—most of us don’t see the lake from one day to the next. Why would we not want to draw visitors to our lakeshore, to make it easily available for them to enjoy and showcase the small bit of open space that is still left along our downtown waterfront? A kiosk—with a friendly and personable tourist guide—Okanagan Lake and

bright summer sunshine will surely entice far more happy visitors downtown than a large, view-blocking building, congested traffic, endangered pedestrians and disgruntled locals. The tourism operators who have, to some degree, been supporting this strange location for a tourist centre, likely want tourists to stay for awhile—not visit the tourist centre and keep on going. They all have hotel or facility parking—surely if tourists can get that far, they could leave their big vehicles and with their much-touted GPS systems, could easily find their way to the pedestrian—and tourist— friendly downtown, with its still unimpeded— for now—view of Okanagan Lake. Sharron J. Simpson, Kelowna

Tourist centres for bag lunch, free toilet To the editor: I agree that building the proposed tourist info centre would be not only a waste of our tax dollars but an exercise in planned obsolescence. In my experience, the majority of tourists who stop at these facilities do so to eat their

homemade lunch and use the washroom in a location that offers easy parking for their motor home or truck and trailer before continuing their journey. Routing that cumbersome traffic to an off highway location would serve no one well. Kelowna tourism would be better served

by an easy pullout with a city map, unmanned brochure kiosk and washroom at a location like the one they already have combined with a small manned kiosk at The Sails for the use of people who have already found parking and made the commitment to enjoy our fine city. Ian Crichton, Kelowna

Managing managers not so cut and dried To the editor: As a consultant to non-profit organizations, Laurie Mills’ Jan. 30 column (Placing an Evaluation Focus on Managers) caught my eye. It is true that many boards do an inadequate job of evaluating the performance of managers/CEOs, and this lack of diligence can be detrimental. The 360-degree reviews, properly implemented in the workplace, can be useful in the right circumstances. But it’s important to understand the limitations of the approach, especially for senior executives. From my experience, there are at least two situations where 360s are not useful, causing more harm than good. Organizations which lack clear measures of

success—if your company makes widgets, and there is a quota to meet or exceed, then everyone’s performance can be related to overall productivity and profitability. But some organizations, especially non-profits, don’t always have clear measures of success, making individual responsibilities and performance criteria murky. Consider the difference between a highly trained rowing team, whose oar strokes synchronously propel the craft toward a clear destination, and a bunch of people in a dinghy, all paddling in different directions, or not at all. For the disciplined rowing team, a 360 might usefully reveal small adjustments that could enhance

team performance. For the people in the dinghy, a 360 will more likely simply surface conflicting notions about where the boat should be heading. Most organizations carry on with a businessas-usual model until other forces require change. When change becomes necessary, employees typically respond in a range of ways: some embrace it, some actively resist it, and others wait to see if the wind is really shifting before they commit. A new CEO brought into a company that makes buggy whips, with a mandate to retool it to produce a more competitive product, will likely encounter resistance from employees who either don’t see the necessity for

change, or fear it because they see their positions as dependent on the status quo. Transitioning a company to a new model— and a new corporate culture—can take years. Applying a 360 to CEO in the midst of managing the shift runs the real risk of inviting employee dissension, by appearing to send a mixed message—i.e. does the board stand behind the CEO and new mandate, or not? High-functioning boards assiduously observe the bright line separating governance and management, and they don’t get involved with managing anyone other than the CEO. How the CEO manages staff is— within the parameters of workplace law and good practice—really up to the

CEO. How, then, does a board properly evaluate CEO performance? By agreeing, in advance, on clear and measurable goals for the company’s annual performance, which the CEO either meets or not, with consequences. Usually, these measures will relate to specific strategic and financial objectives, but they can also reasonably include targets for increasing employee job satisfaction, or reducing turnover rates, etc. All of this is fair. But using a 360 for the board to involve itself in internal workings can seriously undermine the respective roles of the board and the CEO—at the peril of the whole organization. John Grimes, Kelowna

A curling fan says thanks for the memories To the editor: I would like to offer huge thanks to the Kelly Scott Team, including the coaching staff, for all the special memories they brought to me and many others in Canada, British Columbia, around the world and in particular the local fans. They were truly an example of com-

mitted and dedicated athletes striving to reach the highest level they possibly could, which they excelled at by winning the World Championships in 2007. I hope some of them, if not all, will continue curling, however things change in peoples’ lives and we must respect and

appreciate their decisions to do what is best for them. In any event, I truly have appreciated their commitments to the game, and for the joy and excitement they brought to so many of us. What a legacy they have left. Best wishes to you all and your families.

City Hall seeking out ideas to help promote Rutland Upgrade from A1

ing, as well as improvements to recreation facilities. But the city wanted to do more. She said the neighbourhood has the best established system of parks in the city and in this year’s budget, council has allotted more than $1 million for the area, including $600,000 for the Bulman Road Bridge improvements, $400,000 for improvements to the sports fields in Rutland Centennial Park, $70,000 for lighting improvements at Rutland Arena and the $100,000 for the Our Rutland project. “Rutland (work) isn’t finished yet and it’s real-

ments, for rebranding or marketing the area or for Highway 33 improvements, as they are the jurisdiction of the province. The work(s) must be implemented or constructed by Sept. 30 and must have the support of the community. In her report to council on the initiative, sustainability coordinator Michelle Kam said $25 million has been spent by the city on capital investments in Rutland over the last two years, providing new transit facilities, parks, sidewalks and landscap-

ly getting ready to go as a community,” said Mayor Walter Gray, who joined a chorus of supporters on council for the new initiative. The public will be asked to register with the city to propose ideas and vote on ideas for the money and can do so online at getinvolved.keowna.ca, by email at ourRutland@kelowna.ca, by phone at 250-469-8982 or in person at the URBA office, 148 Valleyview Road in Rutland. During February there will be a series of in-person opportunities to propose and review already presented ideas, including

at the: • URBA Uptown After Hours event Feb. 5 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Club • Plaza 33 Shopping Centre, Feb. 6 from noon to 2:30 p.m. • Willow Park Plaza Shopping Centre, Feb. 6 from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. • Rutland Centennial Ha Flea Market, Feb. 9 and 16 from 9 a.m. to noon • Rutland Activities Centre, Feb. 11 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. • YMCA, Feb. 11 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. “I’m really excited with this,” said Coun.

Mohini Singh. “We’ve talked about Rutland for so long. I’m happy to see this moving ahead.” The ideas will be gathered between now and Feb. 20 and can be shared and passed around on social media networks such as Twitter (#OurRutland) and Facebook (facebook/ cityofkelowna) to gain support. From Feb. 20 to March 5, Kam said a feasibility analysis will be done of the ideas proposed, there will be a vote on a shortlist of ideas in mid-March and a tendering or bid process will be held for the successful

idea(s) in April. Project implementation will take place from May to September and city staff will measure the success of the initiative and report back to council in October or November. Coun. Gail Given said the Rutland project will be a good launching point for similar projects in other city neighbourhoods. Rutland is the city’s most populate residential neighbourhood but many area residents feel their community has been slighted for funding support in favour of other areas of the city in recent years. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

PARTNERSHIP

The Peachland Radio all-digital commercial-free radio station has formed a partnership with Valley First Credit Union. Marion Henselwood, manager of the Vintage Hills branch of Valley First, said Valley First is “committed to maintaining our ties with Peachlanders…partnering with Allan Holender and Peachland Radio gave us a great opportunity to do just that. I am excited about (Holender’s) plans for Peachland’s first radio station and I know how committed he is to ensuring the voices of the community are heard.” Henselwood encourages the public to check out Peachland Radio’s sneak preview all this week until Feb. 8. The sneak preview programming will include 19 syndicated shows from four program formats—intelligent talk/conversation, nostalgia, variety and cool jazz. Allan Holender, the station founder and 50-year veteran broadcaster, likes to call the programming “organic,” “ free range,” locally grown and without harmful commercials. From now till the station’s official launch in May, Holender will hear proposals from locals with show ideas. “We already have interest in a local wine show, local farm show, organic food show,new medicine show, and a holistic veterinarian show,” he says.

CONTRIBUTED

HOSPITAL DONATION…RBC has donated $50,000 to the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation’s Take Care, Take Part campaign. This

campaign is raising $6 million to support the purchase of equipment, to provide the support services needed to enhance the quality of patient care in the new Centennial Building, and to support the transition of the Kelowna General Hospital to a full teaching hospital. “RBC has been a great supporter of the Kelowna General Hospital,” said Doug Rankmore, CEO of the KGH Foundation. “This generous gift brings the campaign to $4.8 million and a step closer to providing the health care we need now and for future generations.”

Survey shows global investment confidence Investment professionals are increasingly confident the global and Canadian economies will grow in 2014, according to a global survey of Chartered Financial Analyst Institute membership of 6,561, including 738 in Canada. Sixty-three per cent of survey respondents—62 per cent in Canada— expect the global economy to expand, up from 40 per cent from last year’s survey. Members in the United Kingdom are the most optimistic about the global economy, with 78 per cent expecting expansion, whereas members in China are the most cautious, with only 48 per cent expecting the global economy to expand in the coming year. Overall 79 per cent of members globally indicate that the progress of recovery in Europe will have a positive impact on their local markets. Marked increase in optimism

for equities. Seventy one per cent of members—63 per cent in Canada— this year identified equities as the asset class most likely to perform best, a big jump up from 50 per cent in 2013, which was already up from 41 per cent in 2012. United States and China continue to be considered the best 2014 investment opportunity, while Brazil has dropped from third to fifth choice. Globally, members rate the United States (26 per cent), China (10 per cent), Japan (six per cent), Germany (six per cent), and Brazil (five per cent) as the equity markets that will provide the best investment opportunity in 2014. For Canada the top five markets in 2014 are the U.S. (28 per cent), China (9 per cent), Canada (8 per cent), Germany (6 per cent), and Brazil (6 per cent). In 2013 members globally indicated that the U.S. (32 per cent) and China (17 per cent) would provide the

best investment opportunities, with Brazil a strong third (10 per cent). Slightly more than half of the CFA members anticipate a local market bubble in 2014. Fifty-three per cent of members—54 per cent in Canada— indicate that they anticipate a market bubble in their own national market. In the U.S., relatively few members anticipate a bubble—20 per cent cite equities, 16 per cent cite bonds, and 9 per cent cite real estate as their primary concern. In Canada, 43 per cent cite real estate, 5 per cent cite equities, 5 per cent cite bonds, and 1 per cent cite precious metals. Pending elections and unrest could impact local performance. More than three quarters of members (78 per cent) in India cite political instability as the biggest risk to their local market in 2014, joined by a majority of South African members (53 per cent), and more than one third (38 per cent) of

Brazilian and U.S. members (37 per cent) who echo these concerns. Only five per cent in Canada are concerned with political instability; Canadians are far more concerned with weak economic conditions. Sixty-eight per cent of members worldwide (68 per cent in Canada) say they are concerned that the prospect of central banks ending quantitative easing will have a negative impact on their local market in 2014. And more than 29 per cent of members say that the most needed action to improve investor trust and market integrity is improved regulation and oversight of systemic risk. This sentiment is stronger in Asia Pacific (40 per cent) than in EMEA (33 per cent) and the Americas (24 per cent). Twenty-one per cent of members—16 per cent in Canada—also indicate a need for improved transparency in financial reporting and other corporate disclosures.

Entrepreneurs learn to adapt to change

forever find myself mulling over the roller coaster ride of the entrepreneur and realize that nostalgia is a wistful yearning for the past, an almost childish desire to have our world, unchanged, constant and secure as it once used to be for us. While it’s an emotion most of us feel for different things, it can be deadENTREPRENEURIAL ly and dangerous for an SPIRIT entrepreneur to feel. Why? Because change is a constant in an entrepreneurial business environment. Being willing, even Joel eager, to embrace and Young adapt to change is a serious competitive edge for all entrepreneurs. Welcoming trend shifts, positioning yourself to stay on top of them, and striving to remain ahead of your competition are all functions of such readiness to change. Yet, embracing change, trying new things and growing in some avenue are mandatory choices every entrepreneur must make. A friend and colleague told me several years ago when we were judging business plans in Ottawa: “If you’re not growing, you’re dying.” He meant that stagnation, or a wishful longing for constancy, is a kiss of death for your entrepreneurial venture. So let’s look at how and why your business can change, to help encourage you to make changes more confidently and securely. Depending upon how long ago you began your entrepreneurial journey, you may look back and wonder how far you’ve come, not just by way of growth, but how you have personally changed, improved and grown. That’s evolution. I It’s what sets apart the most seasoned venturer from the greenhorn. And because we all evolve in some capacity, we internally drive certain changes in our pursuits. When you began your venture, you probably weren’t sure of your skills and found that through constant practice and incremental improvement, you grew better at expressing your thoughts, opinions and feelings in writing. As knowledge and experience grows, you will make changes more swiftly, effectively and confidently. There is no question, your purpose in creating an entrepreneurial venture is bound to change over time. Your own needs and goals from your business are changing all the time for sure. Five years from now, you’ll probably find the targets you set are completely different from what you wanted then. Your goals and purpose will be different. Every entrepreneur in our era appears to be affected by technology. We love it because technology streamlines and fuels most of our daily actions. We also fear it because it changes so rapidly, often leaving the older versions in the dust. While it may not be true of some niches, the explosive and continuous growth of various tech usage has led to growing competition in many areas. Smart entrepreneurs will always adapt and compete efficiently. Customer demands—sometimes it’s better not to know how the future will be for your venture. There is that thought that says, “…if I had known, I might never have started…” But what customers wanted three years ago are changing, shifting, moving with the marketplace demands. If you keep offering them the “same old, same old,” trust me, they’re going elsewhere for what they want now. Lastly in this diatribe of change matters is the factor relative to change in the business environment. Even if you launched your venture three years back, you’ve weathered the rough seas of global recession that has eaten into profitability and sales and prompting many to turn to other venture paths.

When buying or refinancing, why should I go to a mortgage broker first? A professional presentation to a lender on the first application will get the best response and save you valuable time and money.

Often the success of obtaining a mortgage approval depends on the way it is presented and to whom it is sent. Traditional institutions don’t always offer the best options. Your mortgage broker is trained to present your mortgage application to various lenders for your best option. So do yourself a favor and call your mortgage broker first!

Q A

I just had some dental work done on a tooth and it is sore. Is that normal? What could it be?

Great question. I get this one a lot. It is normal and common – to a degree. Remember this simple truth – a tooth doesn’t know good from bad. It simply knows that something happened to it. Your tooth has essentially had a small surgery done to it, which will cause some inflammation, which can in turn lead to pain.

There are other reasons as well, which will require testing from a dentist. Call for an assessment – early intervention is prudent.

Q A

How often should I have the carpet in my home cleaned?

Every situation is different and many factors will affect the answer. Some people have the idea that they should clean their carpet once a year and do so even if the carpet is visibly soiled and stained before the year is up. Others may wait many years without cleaning, but with proper care and maintenance, the carpets can appear surprisingly clean. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the US has recommended that residential carpets in a home with 2 non smoking adults, no pets and proper maintenance (vacuuming and removing shoes at the door), should be cleaned every 6-12 months. If you add children, pets, smoking and lax maintenance to that scenario, the frequency should realistically increase. Many people are surprised to hear that, but consider how often you wash your kitchen floor. Can you imagine what your linoleum or tile would look like after a year without washing? A carpet will hide soil and that is its advantage, but when traffic lanes and soil become visible, it is because the carpet fibers have become loaded with soil. So remember, if your carpet is looking dirty, it should have been cleaned already. Call Oxy-Dry for a deep clean that’s drier than steam!

Your son may have plagiocephaly. Positional plagiocephaly is an asymmetrical shape of the head that occurs from remaining too long in the same position. Plagiocephaly has become more common now that parents are taught to lay their children on their back for sleeping. Car seats that double as carrying and holding devices also cause babies to be in the same position for too long. Mild asymmetry may resolve with more tummy time, repositioning, and stretching exercises. More severe plagiocephaly may require a specially molded helmet made by a Certified Orthotist. These helmets help shape your baby’s head and prevent further deformity.

Now, having said that, there are a couple common things to consider. First and most importantly, how bad is the pain? It generally should be headache level (2 Advil or Tylenol make it go away) and improving (if it comes back it’s not quite as bad). The trend is most important. Improvement shows healing. A worsening trend could point toward poor health of the tooth nerve requiring more treatment. Second, if you slowly close your teeth together, does that feel normal? Or, are you hitting the tooth in question first? If you are your bite is likely off meaning that you are striking that tooth too hard and bruising it. A dentist will need to adjust that for you. It is easy when you are not frozen.

SPORTS ▼ HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Atmosphere second to none as Kelowna hosts Western Canada Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A year ago, a broken ankle kept Buzz Truss from performing in one of the premier events of the season in high school boys’ basketball. Healthy and at the top of his game in 2014, the captain of the host Kelowna Owls can’t wait for the Interior Savings Western Canada Basketball Tournament to tip off on Thursday at KSS. For Truss, who first played at the WCBT when he was in Grade 10, the annual tourney is second to none when it comes to both atmosphere and intensity. “This tournament is always exciting,” said Truss, a 6-foot-4 forward who is in his senior year with the Owls. “Missing out on it last year was a

bummer, it was really hard to sit and watch, so it’s nice to be able to play in it. “The atmosphere is fantastic, and it’s a chance for the guys to play in front of their school and their classmates.” The Owls open play Thursday at 8:15 p.m. against the Jasper Place Rebels from Edmonton. The odds on favourite to win this week is B.C.’s No. 2-ranked team from Langley, the Walnut Grove Gators, featuring the highly-touted Jadon Cohee, arguably the top player in the province. Rounding out the teams are the Holy Cross Crusaders and South Surrey Rebels from B.C., Calgary’s Bishop O’Byrne, the Balfour Redmen of Regina, and Oak Park Raiders from Winnipeg. Coaching his Owls for

the seventh straight year at the WCBT, Harry Parmar said with plenty of hype surrounding the tournament, the key for his players will be putting things in perspective and playing with composure. “We always talk about just getting to the next play, forget about what happened, good or bad,” said Parmar. “It’s a big event, a lot of these guys have been watching this since Grade 3, so they know it’s a big deal. Then again, it’s really just playing basketball and the key is to not make it any bigger than it really is.” For the Owls, the WCBT is the last major event of the season leading up the valley playoffs, and potentially provincials. Truss and his fellow seniors would like to most the most of their final

opportunity to play in one of B.C.’s most prestigious tournaments. “I’m definitely going to play my heart out,” Truss said. “It’s a chance for us to put on a show, so hopefully we’ll do well and have fun with it. It’s important, but then again it’s not the biggest goal for us. We want to get to provincials.” The 41st annual tournament tips off Thursday at 2:30 p.m. with Regina Balfour playing Holy Cross. The Power 104 Slam Dunk Contest goes Thursday night at 7:30, while the Big Kahuna 3 Point Contest goes Friday at 7:30. The championship final will tip off Saturday at 7:45 p.m. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Production from Bell at forward welcomed by Rockets

Warren Henderson

STAFF REPORTER

For one weekend, Myles Bell basically carried the Kelowna Rockets on his back. And while the Western Hockey League club would rather not be so reliant on individual players, head coach Ryan Huska admits it was good to see the 20-year-old forward at the top of his game. Over the course a two-

Myles Bell game sweep of the Kamloops Blazers, Bell scored

six goals and added three assists, including scoring four times on Saturday night at Prospera Place. “It’s the best we’ve ever seen him play here,” Huska said of Bell, who was named the WHL Player of the Week on Monday. “He skated very well, he was engaged and he’s competing. He sees the net very well and he’s making the most of his chances.” The Rockets coaching staff shifted Bell from de-

fence to forward last season and the move paid immediate dividends. He went on to lead the team in scoring with 38 goals and 93 points. This season, after a slow start, Bell again leads the way with 35 goals and 61 points in 50 games. As for the recent ninepoint outburst, the 6-foot1, 215-pound Bell says there was no secret formula involved—he was just happy to provide his team with a boost when they

needed it. “It’s just one of those things where the puck goes in for you and you get on a bit of a roll,” said Bell. “I’m just shooting the puck and keeping it simple. If you keep working hard success will come and that’s what I’ve been trying to do.” When it comes to the club’s play of late, Huska said the Rockets haven’t been as quite as sharp as the coaching staff would like. Still, the

head coach was pleased with his club’s third period on Saturday night in a 7-3 win over the Blazers. It’s a performance Huska hopes the Rockets can build on as they play six of their next seven games on home ice. The Rockets will host Red Deer Wednesday, then will entertain Edmonton Friday, Victoria on Saturday and Seattle on Monday afternoon. “We have to make sure our building is a tough

place to play and take advantage of this stretch,” he said. “We’ve got some heavy teams coming in, so we have to make sure we’re competing. We start with Red Deer, they’re competing for a playoff spot, so we need to be ready for them.” With the two wins over the Blazers, the WHL-leading Rockets (42-7-0-3) officially clinched a playoff spot.

WITH THE BRIER IN KAMLOOPS THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE THERE, SO I THINK YOU’LL SEE EVEN MORE TEAMS THAN USUAL REALLY PREPARED FOR THIS. Jeff Richard

The road to next month’s Brier in Kamloops leads through Vancouver this week, the site of the B.C. men’s curling championship. Richard, who is joined by third Tom Shypitka, second Jay Wakefield and lead David Harper, will skip one of 16 teams at the five-day event. After playing with Brent Pierce last season, Richard formed a new rink this season and has had considerable success. The Kelowna team qualified in all four events it entered on the World Curling Tour, including reaching the final in both Red Deer and Seattle. “Tom and I have played together in the past, but for a new team with a new front end, we’re really happy with the way things have gone,” said Richard who won the B.C. title as a skip in 2010. “Hopefully we can put together a good week in Vancouver. With the Brier in Kamloops this year, you know everybody wants to be there, so I think you’ll see even more teams than usual really prepared for this.” With the likes of the John Morris/Jim Cotter rink from Kelowna/Vernon, Brent Pierce, Dean Joanisse and Sean Geall competing, Richard said competition at the provincials will be stiff. But he’s not limiting the contenders just to the aforementioned teams. “I think this will be one of the more even years we’ve had,” Richard said. “You could probably go as far down as the eighth

Face off at the Shaw Centre is 7 p.m. The Warriors, who had gone 10-0-2 over a 12-game stretch since mid-December, lost 2-1 in overtime to the Merritt Centennials on Friday night. Then in front of lively, season-high crowd of more than 1,400 on Saturday at Royal LePage Saturday, the visiting Vernon Vipers spoiled the party with a 6-2 victory. Liam Coughlin led the way for the visitors with two goals and an assist while Dexter Dancs had a goal and two assists, as

Vernon built up a 4-0 lead then cruised to the win. Tyson Dallman scored both goals for the Warriors. “We’re going to have to score more than that obviously to have some success,” says Warriors head coach Rylan Ferster. “At this time of year you just want to be playing better. I don’t know if I have all the answers. We’re disappointed but we’ll give Vernon credit.” The race for top spot in the Interior Division remains tight, with the Warriors (28-13-3-3) trailing first-place Penticton by two points, with Vernon just three points behind West Kelowna in third. The Silverbacks, who have won five in a row, are six back of the Warriors in fourth.

▼ PHYSIOTHERAPY

Inflamed hip and groin tendons result of repetitive use strain

t is a pain felt in the front of the hip and groin region. It can occur during activities involving hip flexion like running, dancing, kicking, or something as simple as putting on your socks. Iliopsoas (illio-so-ass)

KEEPING YOU MOVING

bursitis and iliopsoas tendonitis are inflammatory conditions that involve the tendons and busra in the front of the hip/groin region. They are often the result of repetitive hip flexion in activities such as running, dancing, kicking

X CROSSWORD

and gymnastics. People report having pain in the front of the hip and groin region that often radiates down the front or inner thigh all the way to the knee. Rising from a seated position (with the hips flexed for a prolong period of time) often creates a sharp pain to the front of the hip and a feeling of reluctancy to initially bear weight through that leg. Occasionally, a snapping or clicking is heard that may or may not be painful. The pain is worsened by extending the hip back, crossing the leg in front of the body, and twisting the leg inwards. Bringing the knee up to the chest can often produce a pinching sensation in the hip or groin. Inflammation of the iliopsoas bursa results when the overlying hip flexor tendon produces excessive pressure or friction on the bursa during movement. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that lies between a tendon and bony

prominence. It is designed to reduce the friction and provide cushioning for the tendon as it glides over the bony prominence. This increase in friction is often a result of tight hip flexors combined with repeated hip flexion, poor body mechanics, or even direct trauma. Inflammation of the bursa and tendon often exist together because of their close proximity and associated mechanical stresses. The amount of repeated hip flexion during running, dancing, kicking, and gymnastics makes this a familiar condition for these athletes, but it is also common among the recreational athlete. Clinically, what I tend to see with people who present with iliopsoas bursitis—typically someone who has a seated job (desk job, driver, etc.)— is they spend the majority of their day in a seated position, which can cause hip flexor tightness (not to mention hamstring and calf tightness). Then, with their tight

hip flexors, they go for a jog, hike or participate in an activity with repetitive hip flexion. The whole time the tight hip flexor is gliding over the underlying iliopsoas bursa, creating excessive friction and inflammation. The end result is pain, decreased hip motion, decreased activity tolerance, and often tenderness to touch. Treatment for iliopsoas bursitis and iliopsoas tendonitis include stopping the irritating activity, decreasing the inflammation with ice, and seeing your physiotherapist

Obituaries

BENCSIK, MIKLOS (MIKE ) SR. Mike went to the Lord peacefully from his West Kelowna home on January 29 in the arms of his beloved, caring, loving and dedicated wife Grace of 26 years. He left behind his older sister Rose, niece and few grandnephews and grandniece all in Hungary and his 3 beloved children Mike Jr., Elizabeth and Peter, and two dogs Minnie and Ari. Mike was born in Hungary and spent few years in England doing horse training and played football before coming to Winnipeg, where he did boxing, wrestling, car racing and started his own drywall business, then ventured to Toronto and finally moved to B.C. and enjoyed the outdoor lifestyles with his Hungarian friends for over 40 yrs. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and loved to go snowmobiling and quadding and had enjoyed very much sharing his passions with his children. “Daddy, you were a very loving, caring, responsible father and husband and a great provider to us and you lived for us and always put us first and also you are always ready and willing to help your friends. You spent many hours of quality times with us especially when we were little.” We will miss you Dad BUT you remain in our hearts and minds forever. Mike owned a successful drywall business for many years and built his good living using his skills, abilities, courage and hardworking attitude. He worked for many years in Vancouver and Richmond, B.C. finishing hundreds of houses to one of the famous builder, Gen Grechmyl. He also owned an orchard in Peachland from 1998 to 2002 and on it raised chickens, ducks, turkeys and rabbits that he enjoyed very much and had all the children helped out and got paid each evening. He also loved real estate and for few years owned few houses and fourplexes in Kelowna in the 90’s for renting. He told his children “You can do it if you put your mind in it.” He succeeded in raising his family which he was always very proud of. He had 6 coronary bypass in 1998 but that didn’t stop him from enjoying his passions. Unfortunately, in June 2012, his right leg was amputated and with love and support of his loving family able to live back home with minimal help. Health deteriorated in Dec. 1. We would like to thank the Palliative Care Team of West Kelowna for their kind and caring service and support, the family doctor, Dr. Florin Covaser who never gave up on helping Mike for two months of his palliative stay at home. Also thanking the Prosthetic/Orthotic Dept at KGH and Rehab for the 3 months he was there in 2012. Mike was challenged by diabetes for 20 years. A mass and celebration of his life will take place on Feb. 8, Saturday at 1pm at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 2547 Hebert Road in West Kelowna. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting ww.mem.com, clicking on stories and typing in Miklos Bencsik. Arrangements entrusted with First Memorial Funeral Services, Kelowna. 250-762-2299

SENIOR DOMESTIC LONG HAIR NEUTERED MALE

Ruxy is very affectionate and a true people person. Not such a great fan of other cats, but day sleeping and wandering around the house is how her occupies his time. He really adores people, is sweet natured, gentle and would make a loving addition to a calm & quiet home. He came in with his brother Rico and due to their advanced ages, it would be a real blessing if they could be adopted together, as they love each others company. Please ask the staff if your are interested.

(always held on Saturday)

LUNCH Soup, Sandwiches, Sweets with tea or coffee $5.00

ADULT DOMESTIC LONG HAIR SPAYED FEMALE

Flower is really a little cutie. She is a shy girl but will roll over & loves to have her belly rubbed. She would prefer a quiet home where she can sit on your lap, watch TV or just be OK to sit in the windowsill and watch the birds fly by. If have that kind of home, I would love to meet you and possibly become your new companion.

ADULT DOMESTIC MED HAIR SPAYED FEMALE

Gloria came to the shelter shy & unsure of people. She now loves her head rubbed & chin scratched... and purrs very loudly. Due to her shyness she would love to go to a home with adults and very little commotion. Her guardian should be calm, quiet & patient and give me the chance to show you the unconditional love that I have to share. If you have an understanding nature, please come & meet me.

This handsome boy has a zest for life, enjoys other dogs (NOT CATS)& people alike. He is just a big goof & a lot of fun. J.R. will definitely need leash training & obedience classes to help him become a great family dog. He is smart & wants to please you.

Melody loves to play and explore and test her limits. If you are looking for lots of laughs and someone to liven up your life this black beauty is exactly what you need. She gets along with other felines, so that could be a plus if you already have a resident kitty. She so needs to find her ‘forever’ home.

ID#319093

Picaso is a great little girl. She is loving and so like to have a family of her very own and maybe a special spot by the window. A warm comfortable lap to lay in would be a real bonus, making her feel safe and loved. If you are looking for a sweet little companion and friend, she is right here waiting for you. Picaso is good with other cats, is tattoo’d and microchiped.

ROCKO

Abby is looking for a home that can offer her never ending love and affection. She will be there for you regardless of your need...a cuddle or hug...or a game of catch. Abby would prefer a home where she is the only cat and cat hardly wait to meet you and go to her ‘forever home’. Please ask the staff to set up a one on one meeting with her if you are interested.

Adopt a Pet and take

10%

Rocko is a well mannered & social boy. He is OK with other dogs and would prefer a home with lots of room to roam. We are not sure of his compatibility with children, so if you are interested, the whole family would need to come & meet him. His love for life (and a soccer ball) lends him to being a super family dog, so hopefully we can find the right home and environment to make him the best dog he can be.
