‘No’ votes for new police station will be tested

Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna is ready to borrow $42.4 million to pay for a new police building. And it hopes the public is ready to let it do so.

On Monday, city council approved a plan to subject the borrowing proposal to the Alternative Approval Process, where the onus is put on opponents to the proposal to fill out official petition forms opposing the project and return them to the city clerk’s office at City Hall.

If 10 per cent of eligible voters (9,484) object and fill out forms correctly, the city will either have to kill the project or put it to a referendum.

The city says it is saving $60,000 by not holding a referendum on the borrowing.

In the past, when the city has used the AAP to borrow money, the number of opponents filling out forms has been relatively small. Opponents will have five weeks to register their opposition.

Forms can be picked up at City Hall or the Parkinson Recreation Centre and must be returned by close of business March 28.

A PROTEST involving some 60 people took place last weekend in Kelowna outside the B.C. Fruit Growers Association annual general meeting, drawing together anti-genetically modified foods protesters opposed to the Arctic Apple, those concerned with the future of the Agricultural Land Reserve review, and members of the Radical Action for Migrants in Agriculture, who represent the foreign labourers employed by local orchardists.

New president seizes control of the BCFGA Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The man who assumed control of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association after Kelowna’s Kirpal Boparai resigned the presidency amid unprecedented controversy lost his position to Kelowna’s Fred Steele this weekend.

Vernon cherry orchardist Jeet Dukhia stepped in as interim president when Boparai broke with the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative, selling his apples independently and drawing enough ire

from orchardists that he resigned from the BCFGA’s leadership.

Dukhia presented himself as a leader who worked cooperatively with government throughout his year as president.

But after he spoke at the BCFGA’s annual meeting this weekend, a coalition of farmers who took umbrage with his approach managed to as-

“People wanted to have more rejuvenation in the association,” said Steele, the Glenmore apple grower who won the position Saturday after losing out to Dukhia last year.

Both candidates appeared to agree on the substantive issues, but Steele said he put his

name forward in order to polish the industry’s image and put the focus back on promoting B.C. fruit.

▼ HIGHWAY 33

Two-vehicle collision sends six people to hospital SUV spun out across highway lane and ran into oncoming Chevy pickup.

An “explosive” crash on Highway 33 near Goudie Road sent six Kelowna residents to hospital, one of whom is in critical condition.

The crash occurred at 4:21 p.m.

Feb. 15 when, according to witnesses, a Chevy pickup travelling eastbound on Highway 33 at Goudie Road struck a Honda SUV, that had spun out of control into oncoming traffic.

“The SUV was travelling westbound and had just rounded the hairpin corner and subsequently lost control in the S curves at Goudie Road,” said Const.

Steve Holmes, in a press release.

“The Honda over-corrected into the oncoming lane and was struck by the pickup on the passenger side, knocking it off the roadway onto the shoulder of the eastbound lane. Witnesses described the impact as an ‘explosion’ of parts and debris.”

Passersby stopped to help the occupants of both vehicles, most notably the driver of the Honda, a 35-year-old Kelowna man, who suffered serious, potentially life threatening injuries.

He was transported to Kelowna General Hospital where, as of Monday, he remained in critical condition.

The three male and three female occupants of the pickup, who ranged in age from 9 to 44-years-old, were also taken to Kelowna General Hospital where they were treated for minor injuries and later released. The occupants of the pickup are also Kelowna residents, said Holmes.

The crash scene was occupied for several hours while police, and an RCMP traffic reconstructionist investigated the factors causing the crash.

Driver impairment is being investigated, however other factors may have been involved.

“We would like to thank those who helped the injured at the scene,” said Const. Chris Neid, with the RCMP’s Central Okanagan Traffic Services.

“We would like to speak with those Good Samaritans, as well as any witnesses to the collision and motorists who were following behind either of the vehicles involved as this can help us paint a clearer picture of what happened.”

▼ HERITAGE WEEK

Society looks to revive city’s past Okanagan Lake links Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s successes on the water should be brought out of the past and put back into practice, says a member of the local historical society.

Name dropping Kelowna’s historical stock of rowing Olympians, Pan Am games competitors and generally world-class calibre rowers, director of the Kelowna branch historical society Ann Bostock, told a group gathered for the start of Heritage Week festivities that she sees a foundation for new growth in the sport.

“I wish the rowing club would be brought back again,” she said, noting that it does still exist in some form today, but it’s not quite the same.

Her late husband Ray Bostock, she explained, loved to row. And although he was accomplished, he never took to the lake for accolades.

He, like many other local oarsmen, was driven by a passion for the sport.

Back in Bostock’s heyday, however, rowing had a much larger presence in the community.

The Aquatic Centre was the place to be, but when it burned down, the rowing club moved into a less visible

location. All that’s left of that slice in history, she said, is the four-man rowing shell that’s hanging from the ceiling in the El Dorado.

That said, UBC Okanagan and its ties to the Vancouver campus could bring new life to the local rowing community.

“We have a lot of young men who should be doing this,” she said, adding that there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be rowing en masse on a local lake with the same vigour that once could be found near the Aquatic.

Although Bostock was the keynote speaker of the Monday morning breakfast, the start of heritage week was also marked by an award.

The Central Okanagan Heritage society gave an award to those behind the Thomson Marsh.

The Thomson family worked to preserve a significant chunk of land for the community and wildlife and were acknowledged for their work this week.

▼ FRUIT GROWERS AGM

New president wants to rally orchardists behind united message Control from A1 to restore the kind of calm, persistent voice the industry had with past leaders like Joe Sardinha, who passed away unexpectedly last year.

“I think we have to have an articulate approach. We have to be clear and concise about what our goals are, written down, and what our priorities are, and those priorities should be determined by the membership,” said Steele, noting he’s looking to write a strategic plan immediately.

While Boparai’s position attracted attention from the media, he was not the lone dissident rejecting the packinghouse

business concept.

Several orchardists failed to return to the Okanagan Tree Fruits Cooperative at the beginning of 2013 as a regular rotation of radio advertisements began enticing growers to sell south of the border.

The turmoil prompted a restructuring. The Kelowna packing facility closed in 2013, workers were laid off in the fall and Okanagan Tree Fruits Cooperative rebranded as BC Tree Fruits Cooperative.

Unfortunately, the packinghouse debacle was hardly the only blemish in a year marked by extreme weather and stormy politics.

Central and North Okanagan and severe frost in the South Okanagan resulted in $15 million to $18 million in losses for growers.

The BCFGA’s attempt to access federal disaster relief failed, thus crop insurance yielded a lot of discussion at the AGM. Dukhia’s reported securing a verbal com-

mitment from Premier Christy Clark to get the subsidy back on the books, but a funding announcement never materialized.

Orchardists estimate five to 10 per cent of their property must be replanted each year to replace trees with a production shelf life, deal with rot and keep pace with market demand for new varietals.

The subsidy only covers a small portion of farmer’s total cost, but was valued.

“I really do hope the government is going to come through with this.

It’s extremely important for the health of the industry,” said Penny Gambell, a Lake Country orchardist and former BCFGA president.

The government provided $2 million in 2011 for replanting, but the program was fully subscribed almost immediately.

“It was one of the best programs the government has ever come up with and it is a trade-acceptable program, so that’s very important,” she noted.

The AGM was also used to promote the final days of a three-month long vote to poll support for an Apple Research and Promotion Agency in B.C. The agency would be

part of a national effort to establish grower-funded research and marketing agencies which could organize to secure access to tariffs applied to fruit at the border—a move recently accomplished by the cattle industry for levies to beef imports.

ARPA would require an eight-cent per-box levy from B.C. orchardists, however, and this didn’t sit well with some at the meeting who questioned whether another marketing body was worth it.

“There are dynamics that are happening across the country that, to my mind, make some of this redundant. This buy local trend is very real.”

Steele said he sees it as very short-sighted to view the agency simply as a cost, noting he heartily supports the work Dukhia has done to get the ball rolling.

During his final speech before the election was called, Dukhia opted to do half of his presentation in Punjabi and was heckled by a member at the back of the room who shouted: “Speak English.”

The moment drew a gasp from those gathered and BCFGA general manager Glen Lucas immediately admonished the member.

Other issues raised included: • lobbying for federal subsidies to build permanent washroom facilities so workers hands are clean, a food safety measure • publicly distancing the orchard industry from the Arctic Apple, a genetically modified varietal developed by Okanagan Specialty Fruits Incorporated, because of the potential image problems it poses (an anti-GMO protest with 60 people was held outside the meeting Saturday) • continuing political pressure to see orchardists’ water needs considered in the Columbia River Treaty negotiations • a desire to see deer fencing subsidized and a deer cull considered by the provincial environment ministry • the status and implications of the ongoing Agricultural Land Reserve review. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

▼ FRUIT GROWERS AGM

Sardinha bursary connects higher education to fruit growing industry Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

A bursary set up in Joe Sardinha’s name will focus on the pursuit of a fruitful occupation— higher education—and the business of growing fruit itself.

Sardinha was an orchardist who served on the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association executive for over a decade, including six years as president.

He passed away last summer, at the age of 52, after suffering a heart attack, and his family is hoping to further his legacy with the award.

“Joe gave so much to the industry and I felt that he still had a lot to give,” said Julie Sardinha, who met Joe in their first month at university.

The couple dropped out of school almost immediately, Joe because he realized he belonged on the farm and Julie to follow him and subsequently to start their family.

Education was nonetheless extremely important in the Sardinha home, as evidenced by their children.

In his address to the BCFGA annual general meeting this weekend, Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan told those gathered that the Sardinhas’ daughter returned to the farm to assist her mother this year and is pursuing her doctorate through the University of California, Berkeley.

She specializes in lost and endangered indigen-

Julia Sardinha ous languages, her mother confirmed, and their son has two bachelors degrees and a teaching certificate.

The BGFGA has two other bursaries offered through the association.

The backbone of those awards will be used in adjudicating this one, although Sardinha’s really hones in on the winner’s connection to the industry.

Applicants must be closely related to a BCFGA member, will be required to submit an essay on an aspect of the orchard sector and their family’s contributions to the association will be considered.

“There’s people who served for years and years as delegates to the convention and it takes time away from their lives and their orchards and their families. I just wanted to recognize that. It’s a sacrifice. It’s a family sacrifice,” Julie said in an interview with CBC Daybreak South.

The bursary will be given annually and the $1000 will come directly from the Sardinha family.

we don’t forget Joe, or as long as he’s remembered, he’ll never be completely gone,” Julie said.

The Sardinhas received the Golden Apple Award from the BCFGA for the bumper crop they produced in 2012.

It was the first year Joe Sardinha dedicated his efforts entirely to his orchard in many years, having stepped away from the

BCFGA leadership, and it resulted in an output of 490 bins of apples on 11 acres, nine planted.

The Sardinhas were among the top five growers in 10 different varieties. They focus on Ambrosia, Gala, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady and they are grafting their Granny Smiths over to Pink Lady.

Okanagan Nation marches on premier’s MLA office Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The pounding of drums and chants of Okanagan Nation members rang out across Westbank Monday afternoon.

In a protest that brought around 30 Okanagan Nation representa-

tives to the doors of Premier Christy Clark’s constituency office holding placards with sayings like “poverty is not neglect,” concerns about cuts to aboriginal children’s programs were put front and centre.

Late last month, the provincial government

announced that 18 aboriginal community-based programs will lose their Ministry of Children and Family Development funding.

The decision, which is said to be a reaction to a report that found the government had sunk $66-million over the past

KATHY MICHAELS/CAPITAL NEWS

MEMBERS of the Okanagan Nation made their feelings known about provincial government cuts to Aboriginal children’s program funding outside Premier Christy Clark’s MLA office in West Kelowna on Monday.

dozen years into such programs with no demonstrable benefit for children in care, is worse than the “residential school holocaust,” said protesters.

“What’s happening today is worse than what happened to our babies back then,” said Laurie Wilson, a family law advocate with the Okanagan Nation Alliance.

She explained the decision to cut the funding effectively mutes aboriginal people in circum-

stances when their voices are most in need of being heard.

“The ministry does a poor job helping our helpless children,” she said.

“I’m always talking about a plan. We’ve been living under the government’s plan too long and it’s not helping our families.”

Families, she said, are fragmented by government policies that focus on removing children from homes where abuse

and neglect have been demonstrated, while work on prevention isn’t funded at all.

Focusing on prevention, she said, would save dollars and First Nation cultures.

The Okanagan Nation Alliance, she said, had successfully kept 94 children in their homes, under healthier circumstances.

“Each child we help saves the Ministry of Children and Family Development $250,000,” she said.

“Why are our plans being gutted? We have seen what healthy and happy communities look like.”

And, she explained, they require leadership from within.

Wilson said that she and those who joined her Monday intend to keep the pressure on government to listen to aboriginal people on this issue.

Clark was not in her office at the time of the protest.

Casting the Olympics spell

A

s the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, heads into its second week, the narrative is sounding awfully familiar.

Remember all those horror stories about costs run amok, facilities unfinished or not up to snuff, unseasonably mild weather, displaced and displeased citizens, stray dogs being dispatched?

Hmmm… rewind the clock four years, and we might be talking about Vancouver. Minus the stray dogs part.

Or eight years ago in Turin, Italy.

Winter or summer, the script for every Olympic Games seems to be coming from the same writer.

It’s already being composed for Rio de Janeiro in 2016, where slums have been razed to make way for sporting facilities and workers have died building those venues.

But the crazy thing about the Olympics, and the trump card the International Olympic Committee carries in its back pock-

et, nuzzled up against the vast wealth it amasses by governing the Olympic movement, is as soon as the spotlights illuminate the ever-kitchy opening ceremonies, and the first competitors enter the starting gates, all the collateral drama is forgotten.

When it comes to the Olympics, we just can’t help ourselves falling in love all over again.

Especially when the memories of being a host city are still so fresh.

Maybe it’s the sheer volume

of Olympic hype and coverage that overwhelms us every couple of years.

Maybe we’re just suckers for the human interest stories and athletic dramas that are played out on the ski slopes, ice rinks and running tracks.

Maybe we’re just looking for the chance to show our patriotism without feeling self-conscious.

Whatever fuels your Olympic spirit, enjoy the ride for the cynics will be back again next time round.

the borrowing that’s in question but the process. Of course, some may disagree. But will they make an effort to sign a petition opposing the plan?

To make sure the city gets what it wants—without the messy process of democracy getting in the way—it will put the onus on opponents to marshal opposition rather than go out and work to gather support.

It’s the lazy of getting things done by politicians and bureaucrats.

The process gives opponents five weeks to gather the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters. If successful, the city can still proceed with the referendum it should have held in the first place.

But from city’s hall’s point of view, it’s an ideal way to govern. It’s a generally effective process, it doesn’t necessarily kill a project it you miscalculate, it saves you money and lets you proceed by telling the electorate you’re right unless they do the work to tell you they think you’re wrong.

The city knows it’s unlikely enough people will get out to sign petitions to make a difference and, if they do, it still has the referendum as an out.

In the case of this latest foray into reverse option billing for taxpayers, the city says it will hold two open houses on the police building project before the March 28 AAP deadline.

That’s its bow to public process.

There’s a reason private companies in this province are not legally allowed to do what the city is doing— making the bill-paying public opt out as opposed to opting in. There’s also a reason taxpayers need to approve big-ticket borrowing by their municipalities.

This isn’t the first time Kelowna, or another other municipality in B.C. for that matter, has used the alternative approval process to get what it wants. And it won’t be the last.

The city knows the odds are stacked in its favour, so why mess with success? awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ CEDAR AVENUE PARK

City hall not encumbered by democracy To the editor: Charlie Hodges’ column in Friday Feb. 14 Capital News (More Questions Than Answers About Site Development) has put this whole issue into its proper context by shown how undemocratic (Kelowna city) council and staff have set it up so that the outcome can only be in their favour.

Several years ago, my wife and I, along with a lot of other residents of the Mission,

took part in discussions for the OCP for this area at St. Paul’s United Church, hosted by the late councillor Alyce Clark and councillor Sharon Shepherd. One of the main decisions made was for all of the lake shore property now being discussed to be acquired for waterfront park.

Another item discussed was regarding the property bounded by Gordon, Casorso and Barnes and the promise made by council at

that time was that property would not be allowed to be filled with condominiums as was done on KLO across from Okanagan College.

And what do we have now well on its way to become exactly that?

If council were to do the right thing since we have waited this long, why not hold off a little longer and at the time of the next election put it on the ballot for a vote by the citizens?

L.W. Jupp, Kelowna

Veterans’ services were already bad enough To the editor: I read with great interest the letters from vets in the Feb. 14 Capital News.

First of all I must correct Fred Price on his last paragraph—it is not the opposition parties that are delaying changes to the lump sum award, but the actual Conservative government.

As well, Mr. Price, it seems to me that you are getting a small disability pension, and as a WWII veteran maybe even a War Vets Allowance. If you are getting both, one was clawed back from the

other until last fall, and as such, you can be a part of an upcoming lawsuit to get that money back. In 2012, the federal courts ruled that the act of clawing back disability pensions was illegal. Your local MP is not telling anyone this because he is a Conservative.

Speaking of such, MP Bob Zimmer (Prince George—Peace River) wrote a letter also toeing the party line about the Veterans Affairs Canada office closures, which are very untrue. The people at Service Canada are in

no way capable of helping a veteran any more than pointing them to a computer or the toll free number. The toll free number doesn’t get you much either because they themselves cannot do much other than try and connect you to someone who may be able to. Ninety-nine per cent of the time you get a voicemail and have to wait about a week to get a call back. Over Christmas I had need to call them and ask a question about something. I was told that a letter had gone in the mail ‘a day ago’ but, she

was not allowed to tell me what it said.

I had to wait the almost two weeks for Canada Post to deliver the letter.

With all of the cut backs at VAC it now takes more time than ever before to get anything approved. What used to take a few weeks now takes almost five to six months.

Last year my case manager was switched a total of four times, from someone here in Kelowna, to Penticton, and finally in Vancouver. These cutback are hurting vet-

erans of all kinds and as such, we are finally banding together against this atrocious government and making our voices heard.

We the people put them in, and we the people can put them out.

And, I for one, intend to do just that. Conservatives are no friends of the veterans no matter what they spew in the media.

Actions speak louder than words.

I am a Canadian disabled veteran.

John K Goodwin, West Kelowna

Small nuisance crimes will lead to bigger ones To the editor: Smashing car breakins near Barnaby Road: To whomever decided it would be fun to smash in my rear car door triangular window on my beloved, my only vehicle, a 1989 Hatchback: You may think you are entitled to do whatever

you want to other people’s vehicles, but I do not.

You may think it’s no big deal, the car owner is rich, the car owner doesn’t mind spending half the day dealing with ICBC and the repair, but I am not.

You may think that you are only having harm-

less fun, which will not lead to further and deeper crimes, but that is not true.

You may think that we are not seeing a pattern in the other two breakins that same night in the same Steele Road/Upper Mission area, and the many other car break-ins that my landlords have

had to deal with over the past, but we are.

Please turn yourself in before it is too late.

Get yourself out of bigger trouble by admitting these smaller crimes now.

Phone the police regarding crime file # 20147497.

P.S. If you are a friend

of the criminals, please make that phone call and help your friends by getting them out of smaller trouble now, before they get themselves into bigger trouble later.

It is only a matter of time.

Angela Prettie, Kelowna

Whine to the people who make the decisions To the editor: I remember back in the day sleeping in tents. I cut wood for a living and to keep me warm in my 8- by-10 tent frame. I had a stove and a warm place to sleep.

When times were hard I fished or hunted my food whenever I wanted to. I’ve worked in the damp and cold and also lived in 50 and 60 below zero weath-

er. Oh yes, let me not forget the outhouse.

Just try that way of living today and see how fast the government will have you arrested and tell you that you don’t own the land you squatted on, so get out. Our government does not want anyone to be independent today. Government wants full control of all people in one place.

I was also a drug and alcohol counsellor.

As for a recent remark: “What other sect gets grants from government coffers collection plates or tithing?” I will not get started on that topic. “Do not blame the people on the street or the Gospel Mission.” Street people create jobs.

Although I am truly tired of people in this city

A great deal for seniors To the editor: I would very much like to let everyone know how impressed I am with the delicious and healthy meals offered to seniors at the May Bennett Wellness Centre, located at 135 Davie Rd. in Rutland near Highway 33.

These high quality meals are prepared by two experienced chefs, Rob and Chris. The portions are very generous and they both look and taste delicious.

The cost of a meal is only $7.50 for seniors and includes soup, salad, main

entree and a dessert. Included in the cost is mid-day meal delivery Monday through Friday for seniors not living at the wellness centre.

I invite and encourage all seniors to try these excellent prepared meals.

Collaboration and patient input helps KGH enhance treatment for stroke recovery care Kelowna General Hospital is making improvements to the way stroke patients receive care following a 12 month provincial Stroke Unit Collaborative.

Care providers from across B.C., including KGH, came together during the collaborative to learn from each other and from patients.

“Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in B.C.,” said Premier Christy Clark, MLA for Westside-Kelowna.

“To ensure care meets the individual needs of patients and their families, we’re engaging with them as partners.”

KGH will be opening a relocated and centralized eight bed stroke unit this month when all stroke patients are moved to a specific area in the new Centennial Building, where it will be possible to provide more streamlined care and improved patient and family communication.

a defined stroke unit, the team at KGH is implementing a number of patient engagement strategies designed to improve communication and capture ideas for future changes.

“We work closely with patients and families to understand, from their perspective, the journey from the Emergency Department to admission to a stroke unit in real time,” said KGH health services director Andrew Hughes.

“The addition of this centralized unit will have a tremendous impact on our patients experience and the stroke care continuum.”

Much of this feedback continues to guide ongoing efforts to improve stroke care. “…KGH is well positioned to meet increasing demands on the system as the prevalence of stroke increases,” said Interior Health board chair Norman Embree.

▼ DOWNTOWN KELOWNA

Hotel plan excites store owner I ’m so excited about the latest hotel development proposed for Kelowna’s downtown.

Last week, I was lucky enough to see a preview presentation of the proposed boutique hotel

by Kerry Park, and I have to say I came away very impressed.

Westcorp, the company which built the new marina and pier at the foot of Queensway last year, has put a huge amount of work into getting this project right.

They really want it to be a place where people can gather and enjoy the beauty of the lake and park, and they’ve designed the building to encourage that.

The design reflects the gentle curves of our mountain landscape.

Loaded with features that create a great experience for all—glass-front-

WHAT’S UP DOWNTOWN

Jan Johnson ed meeting rooms, rooftop patio restaurants, outdoor fireplace—this hotel would totally transform our downtown waterfront area into a vibrant hub of activity and create a real landmark.

The conference facilities would also put Kelowna into the category of a world-class conference destination, which would do wonders for our local economy.

A lot of thought and effort has obviously gone into the planning of this hotel, and I really hope it proceeds as soon as pos-

sible.

Did you know that if you’re planning a trip south in the winter and you want to refresh your wardrobe before you leave, downtown Kelowna is the place to go?

You won’t believe the awesome assortment of warm-weather styles you can find even at this time of year downtown.

On a recent dreary winter day, I went for a stroll and here’s what I found: Fashion Foundations, 1385 Ellis St., has a super selection of bikinis, tankinis and onepiece suits for all ages, from young girls to great-grandmas, from women who need a J cup to those who are looking for a mastectomy suit.

Some of Fashion Foundation’s top product lines include Freya, Fantaisie and Amoena.

Along with the beautiful styles, the staff are totally helpful in ensuring that you find the perfect fit.

Natural Rezources, at 525 Bernard Ave., now carries a huge selection of sandals, shoes and canvas-top shoes by Crocs to go along with their healthy foods and supplements.

In fact, the back quarter of the store is like a Crocs store-within-astore.

Some of the styles have arch support and circulation nibs to stimulate pressure points.

Ocean Minded is a new line of sandals by Crocs designed for surfers and beach lovers.

Tigerlily, 575 Bernard Ave., has a Cruisewear section that is very popular throughout the winter months.

It features easy cot-

It’s a great place to stock up for those sunshine destinations.

MacD’s Lakeside, 219 Bernard Ave., is brimming with ladies

summer styles from Tommy Bahama—maxi dresses, separates in silk, cotton and linen, tank tops and shorts, swim coverups.

For the guys, MacD’s features Tommy Bahama linens and silks, shorts, T-shirts and polo shirts as well as Puma golf shirts.

Cruzwear, 539 Ber-

nard Ave., is the store where “it’s always summer.”

Run by the dynamic mother-daughter team of Doreen and Sherry, this is a shop that can fit the whole family in bathing suits.

Fashion apparel stores ready for summer

Tuesday, February 18, 2014 Capital NewsC

BUSINESS Johnson from A11 They buy their swimwear direct so the costs are lower, and the styles are unique to Kelowna.

Some of their ladies’ lines are Miracle Suit, Sunflair (fit by cup size) and Gottex. Also look for a great selection of beach dresses and separates.

For the guys, Cruzwear has bathing suits and separates, featuring soft tropical-look shirts by Bamboo Cay. And yes, they have bathing suits for kids and even babies too.

The store also carries Sunveil, a line of separates that is breathable and blocks the sun and mosquitoes. Very handy when you’re going to the tropics!

And keep in mind the store has free parking in the back, accessible from Ellis Street.

Surf Culture Clothing, 213 Bernard Ave., has been operating for 20 years in Kelowna.

Owners Rod and Lori gear their store to “the young and the young at heart,” carrying top surf apparel lines from around the world.

In this haven of summer, you’ll find lots of swimwear separates for the ladies to allow for mixing and matching of styles, colours and sizes.

You will also find beach dresses, flip flops and accessories.

For the guys, there are board shorts, tanks and shirts, as well as flip flops.

This is a unique shop that exudes that summer feeling all year round, well worth a visit.

I know, I know—now

you’re amazed at the incredible amount of summer styles that our downtown shops offer, even in the dead of winter.

Whether or not you’re planning a trip south soon, it’s fun just to check out all the bright colours and lightweight fabrics— and to take a break from winter.

Jan Johnson is the coowner of Tigerlily Fashions and Alleycat Fashion Outlet in downtown Kelowna. If you have any news about downtown business openings and/or events, please email them to her at tigerlilyfashion@shaw.ca or call her at 250-762-8384.

New owner for Tower Ranch project Parkbridge Lifestyle Communities Inc. has acquired the Tower Ranch residential development from Intrawest.

Parkbridge’s vision is to bring an active retirement lifestyle community to the Kelowna market, focusing on providing homes for people in their pre-retirement or retirement years.

Beyond the 18-hole golf course and clubhouse, the residential housing aspect of the project has not evolved to meet ex-

pectations, slowed by a stagnant real estate market for Kelowna over the past three years. “We are excited to develop our first property in Kelowna, and believe that the community will be a great addition to the award-winning Tower Ranch Golf course,” said Parkbridge president and CEO Andrew Blair. “We look forward to contributing to the area’s growth and to the stewardship of Kelowna’s unprecedented quality of life.”

▼ ENTREPRENEURS

Don’t let passion be eroded by business operating tasks P

assion is a powerful emotion. It ignites energy, enthusiasm and creativity and brings a meaningful purpose to one’s life.

I have been whimsically accused of having passion-plus (despite my age) when people hear me speak of the entrepreneurial spirit and its importance and relevance to our society.

The passion that motivates we entrepreneurs and budding entrepreneurs to take a risk and launch an entrepreneurial venture is also the -“fuel” that keeps it moving ahead.

It’s important to keep that passion stoked, to not let it fade as the mundane hbut necessary daily tasks of operating a business venture begin to occupy hyour time.

- Remember when you first began to actually started and ultimately launched your entrepreneurial dream?

You were excited, full of passion, dreaming of a balanced life and venture success—you were a happy a happy and successful entrepreneur in the making.

Then somewhere along your journey, you woke up one morning and reality reared its ugly head as entrepreneurial success seemed to become more of a distant memory.

To cope, you convinced yourself to place your work/life balance in “freeze-frame.”

Studies have shown that your entrepreneurial attitude and mindset determine the level of

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young venture success and life happy time more than anything else it would appear.

Often, the daily grind gets in the way. We find ourselves losing on the work/life scorecard balance and when we stop.

Even for a short time, we forget the passion in our lives.

If we keep doing what we have been that throws our balance out of kilter, we’ll likely continue in a mishmash of imbalance and with a sense of unfulfillment clouding our days.

If you tell yourself, you are not happy with that outlook, you need to make changes now.

DAYS someRealistically, ONLY! times a few small changes can have a drastic effect on our success and passion in life.

Maybe letting go a little can actually free up your time for more important endeavours.

Yes, some items granted are strategically important to your dream success and need to be handled by your good self.

But often a bit of a rethink will help you deal with these tasks in a more expedient fashion than what you might normally expect.

Then there are the

time waster activities that, with a little innovation on your part, can be disposed of, deleted from our lives.

But allow me to get to the crux of my message today—ways to help keep your entrepreneurial passion aglow: 1. Keep the big picture before you always, how you envision your entrepreneur dream outcome…

2. Set clearly defined and attainable goals, you know those bite-sized

goals and daily to-do lists.

Celebrate your progress and embrace every strep that takes you closer to the goal-line.

3. Verbalize your passion. It’s highly contagious and letting your world know about your dreams will excite and energize you as well as inspire others in your audience.

4.Commit to explore new ideas. Fresh ideas can reignite your enthusiasm, enliven business and

Wow, I’m pooped just thinking of all this valued work we must undertake to keep our entrepreneurial passion afire.

But guess what? Here again is the success secret to entrepreneurial bliss— when creating more meaning in your life and rekindling that spark that

got you there in the first place, your venture becomes more successful in the process.

Frankly, there is no trade-off in my opinion.

Police station referendum seen as too costly Tested from A1 Prior to the deadline, the city will hold two open houses, Match 6 and 10 to explain the project to the public.

The open houses are slated for the Royal Anne Hotel and will run from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. each day.

On Monday, city councillors urged voters not to oppose the borrowing.

“Borrowing is the only

way to go,” said Coun.

Andre Blanliel.

“It’s better to borrow the money than to take it out of taxation.”

Calling a new police building a necessity for the city, not an “extra,” he said the existing police building on Doyle Avenue, parts of which date back to the 1960s, has come to the end of its useful life as the city’s public safety centre.

And, he added, if Kelowna does not build a

new police building, the RCMP could do so and charge the city back the cost.

That, he said, would give the city no control over the project or its cost.

On the city’s website, it says it is using the AAP because it has to build a new building to house the RCMP and wants to manage the process itself.

Borrowing the money would create what Blanleil called intergenerational borrowing, spread-

ing the cost out over future generations that will benefit from the new facility.

The new building is slated for city owned land on Clement Avenue.

It would replace the exiting Doyle Avenue building which has had two major additions and renovations over the years, as well as other minor work.

That building is said to be too small, too old and not suitable for expansion, retrofit or retention as the

city’s public safety nerve centre.

If the borrowing is not opposed by a sufficient number of city voters, the project could start later this year with construction commencing next year and completion slated for 2017.

The cost to taxpayers of borrowing the money would be approximately $40 per household per year over 30 years starting after 2017. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Tine to catch the CANstruction spirit

Since December, Grade 8 social justice students attending Glenrosa Middle School have been hard at work creating a giant structure as part of CANstruction Kelowna 2014.

CANstruction is an incredible design/build competition using canned food as building blocks to create extraordinary structures and aims to shine a spotlight on the issue of hunger in our community.

In keeping with this years’ theme “All things CANadian,” the GMS students have designed a 5-foot-9-inch giant Tim Hortons coffee cup.

“What’s more Canadian than that?” asked Glenrosa Middle School teacher librarian and team coordinator Trina Zuyderduyn.

“We created a trial run at the school’s library which was on display until February 14. The purpose was to work out all the problems in advance of the competition.”

The structure will be rebuilt starting Monday where it will be on display at the Orchard Park Shopping Center until Sunday, Feb. 23. At which time, nearly 1,000 cans of healthy food will be donated to the Westside Community Food Bank.

“Participating in this project has provided the students with valuable academic and social learning,” said Zuyderduyn.

“Along the way students have learned about design and stability; used a surprising amount of math; worked collaboratively on a student-designed and created structure, all while learning the importance of giving back and building school spirit.”

“These students are making a real difference in our community,” added Lenetta Parry, executive director for the Westside Community Food Bank.

“I am very proud to see their hard work pay off and thankful to the students and teachers at Glenrosa Middle School for participating in this fun community project.”

The team at Glenrosa Middle School would like to thank Richard Bugera from Distinct Solutions who was their volunteer architect, Save-On-Foods, City Furniture and GMS parents, teachers and sponsors including Mr. Wiltink, Mr. Orloff and Mrs. Zuyderduyn.

CANstruction Kelowna is a partnership between the Rotary Club of Kelowna, the Rotary Club of Kelowna Foundation, Save-On-Foods, The Kelowna Community Food Bank, The Westside Community Food Bank and The Kelowna Salvation Army.

The students of Glenrosa Middle School hope that West Kelowna residents will come see their “little piece of Canadian culture.”

Structures will be on display at Orchard Park Mall’s Skycourt and Apple Court from now until Feb. 23, with the food then donated to local food banks.

Admission is free, however non-perishable food items will be accepted at the mall.

Heat grabs spot in Final Four Nothing comes easy but Heat women get the job done.

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With just two victories in their last 12 regular season matches, the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball squad may not have looked exactly like a playoff-ready group.

But when push came to shove, Steve Manuel’s squad delivered when it mattered most to win the school’s first ever Canada West post-season series.

The Heat took down the hometown Brandon Bobcats on successive nights to win their quarterfinal series 2-0, earning a spot in the conference’s Final Four series this weekend in Vancouver.

Despite a somewhat unproductive second semester in the win-loss column, Manuel said the Heat went into the play-

offs as a confident group.

“I think maybe it’s a little cliche, but we looked at playoffs as a different season, looked at it as starting out at 0-0,” said Heat coach Steve Manuel.

“We didn’t win a lot of matches in the second semester, but we were playing a lot of tough teams and we continued to progress as the season went on.

“Brandon got off to a slow start and that’s really all we needed to get rolling. We settled in and played our game, and it was exciting to see our team come out of this with the win.”

The Heat (12-10) got the better of Brandon (17-5) the series opener on Thursday, winning in straight sets (25-19, 2520, 25-12). It was the first Canada West playoff win in any sport for UBCO. Megan Festival and Brianna Beamish finished with 12 kills each for the Heat, while Jillian Festival added eight kills. Lenai Schmidt was a rock for

the Heat back-row, passing with poise and digging 10 Brandon attacks over the three-set match.

On Friday, the Bobcats fought back by winning the opening set, then watched as UBCO rallied to sweep the next three and take the match in four sets (29-31, 25-18, 25-23, 25-19).

Breanna Beamish paced the Heat attack with 17 kills, Megan Festival chipped in with 15, while Katy Klomps added 11 kills, six digs and eight block assists in the middle.

By securing a Final Four appearance in just their third season in Canada West, Manuel said the evolution of the women’s program is right on schedule.

“We’re at the spot in Year 3 where we hoped we’d be,” he said. “We just missed the playoffs the first year, then we battled hard to get in last season but weren’t peaking for the playoffs. This

season, we decided we won’t sweat every single match and we’ll do what we need to do be ready for playoffs. It’s a big step for our program to get that first win and make it to the Final Four.”

UBCO will battle their Vancouver rivals, the UBC Thunderbirds, in the semifinal Friday at 6 p.m.

The T’Birds (18-4) finished first in the conference and beat the Heat in both matches during the regular season.

“Nothing is easy and that’s fine with us,” Manuel said of Friday’s matchup. “They’re a very good team and very experienced. We fully expected to make it to the Final Four, now we can go there, play loose and see what happens. This is very exciting and a huge step for our program.”

The other semifinal will feature Manitoba against Trinity Western, with the winners to meet Saturday for the Canada West title.

Rockets maintain top spot with ’Hawks in pursuit Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

While he doesn’t consider it a day-to-day priority, Ryan Huska admits finishing first overall in the Western Hockey League standings would be a most welcome scenario for the Kelowna Rockets.

But with the Portland Winterhawks having closed the gap over the last couple of weeks, the

race for No. 1 appears to be a long way from over.

Kelowna (46-8-04) still leads the Winterhawks (42-12-2-3) by seven points for first and holds one game in hand.

Huska doesn’t expect the Winterhawks, who have won a club-record 16 straight games, to falter down the stretch.

“They probably won’t lose another game,” Huska said of the Winterhawks. “But the reality is,

we can’t be worried about what other teams are doing. We have to look after our own game and look at the next game in front of us, that’s what we can control. That’s what we’ve tried to do all year.”

The Rockets will look to make it four straight wins when they host the Tri-City Americans Wednesday night. After dropping back-to-back games at home to Edmonton and Victoria on Feb. 7 and 8,

Kelowna has rebounded with solid wins over Seattle, Spokane and Prince George—an encouraging sign for the coaching staff.

“There have been some good signs over the last few games,” Huska said. “The guys have showed some resilience, we’re doing better in little areas that we did a good job of earlier in the year.

Now we want to try and build on those and be playing our best heading

into the playoffs.”

The Rockets will be without centre Tyson Baillie for the next three to six weeks due to a lower body injury, while defenceman Jesse Lees (lower body) also remains sidelined, but could return to the lineup by the weekend.

The Rockets head to Prince George this weekend for a two-game set with the Cougars, Friday and Saturday nights.

Warriors battle Penticton Vees in a tilt for first place An injury-laden West Kelowna Warriors’ squad will host the Penticton Vees Tuesday night in a battle for top spot at the BCHL’s Interior Division.

The Warriors (31-143-5) and Vees (32-15-2-4) are currently tied for first, with five games remaining for each team.

Face off at Royal LePage is 7 p.m.

With five regulars out of the lineup and two more injured during the game, the Warriors dropped a 3-2 double overtime decision to the hometown Vernon Vipers on Saturday.

With just 10 forwards and five defencemen to start the evening, the Warriors earned a 2-0 lead after a dominant opening period.

Braden Pears opened the scoring with a power play marker seven min-

utes in, then Seb Lloyd doubled the lead when he converted a David Pope rebound.

Vernon cut the lead in half with a second-period goal, then in the third, with the Warriors down to three regular defenceman, Dexter Dancs converted a goal-mouth scramble on a late power play to time the game and force OT. Dancs then set up a

Riley Guenther one-timer 3:34 into 3-on-3 double overtime to give the Vipers a 3-2 win.

“You’ve gotta give credit to both teams,” Warriors goalie Andy Desautels said. “It was a tough-played game” Returning from a lower-body injury that had kept him out of the past five games, Desautels praised the valour shown

by his teammates.

“I think we’re stepping back here and realizing what kind of an effort we put forth,” Desautels says.

“I don’t think we can be anything but proud.

“Looking around the room you can tell that we put it all on the line and just came up a little bit short.”

Neilson 13th in Sochi ROGER KNOX/BLACK PRESS

WEST Kelowna Warriors net minder Andy Desautels makes a save against the Vernon Vipers in BCHL action Saturday at Kal Tire Place.

Though Eric Neilson didn’t realize his ultimate dream of reaching the podium, the Kelowna native isn’t likely to soon forget his first ever Olympic experience.

Neilson ended up in 13th place in the men’s Olympic skeleton competition which wrapped up on Saturday in Sochi.

The 33-year-old Rutland Secondary grad finished with a fourrun time of three minutes 48.77 seconds, 4.48 seconds behind gold medalist Alexander Tretiakov of Russia.

Neilson, who spent the last three-plus years of his life firmly focused on qualifying for the games in Russia, would have liked a better final result but is still thrilled to have competed for his country.

“And just like that, poof, it’s over,” Neilson wrote on his Twitter ac-

Eric Neilson count. “Wasn’t the storybook ending I wanted, but it sure as hell was a good story.”

Neilson is in his third season as a member of Canada’s national senior men’s team.

He qualified for the Olympics earlier this sea-

son after finishing fifth at a World Cup race at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary.

Neilson has four fifthplace efforts during his World Cup career, as well as a fourth at the worlds in 2012-13.

Do you charge a fee for your service?

A mortgage broker or specialist receives commissions or “finders fees” from the lender so there is no cost to the clients. There are times where clients have had credit issues and the lender does not pay a commission which would result in a nominal brokerage fee, but this fee would be disclosed to clients prior to completion.

Q A

I have drop foot and wear a brace.

I have heard about the WalkAide System. Would a WalkAide be appropriate for me?

Drop foot, is characterized by weakness or paralysis of the muscles that lift the foot causing a person to catch their toes while walking. Traditionally an AFO (Ankle Foot Orthosis) is used to treat drop foot.

WalkAide treats drop foot by utilizing a person’s nerves causing the muscles to actively contract and flex the ankle providing clearance. This technology is called FES or Functional Electrical Stimulation. The WalkAide stimulator fits on a cuff just below the knee. A Certified Orthotist programs the WalkAide to each individual’s gait.

The WalkAide can help patients who exhibit foot drop due to Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury, Brain Tumor, or Cerebral Palsy.

To learn more about the WalkAide or AFO’s, call our Clinic for a consultation.

I have noticed my child breathing through her mouth a lot, is that a problem?

Good question. Left un-checked this will create a variety of problems. But before we get to the problems let’s talk about some of the possible reasons. It may seem obvious, but a person breathes through their mouth because they cannot breathe through their nose, which incidentally is how we are supposed to breathe. The reasons for this could be external in the form of allergies or sensitivities. These will inflame tissues causing swelling and a decrease in the space available for airflow. The other reason could be anatomical – enlarged tonsils and adenoids (nasal tonsils), or a deviated nasal septum. Tonsils and adenoids are lymphatic tissue that swells in response to insult – often in allergies or sensitivities (cow’s milk, grass, pollen, pet dander, etc). This can become a chronic condition.

The result is open mouth posture to allow air to flow in that way. In order to facilitate that the tongue drops to the floor of the mouth instead of assuming its normal desired position in the roof of the mouth. The upper jaw narrows forcing the lower jaw backward so the person can still bite and swallow.

This forces the tongue further back crowding the airway/ clogging up the throat. The result can be narrow crooked smiles, worn teeth, TMJ pain, and sleep apnea. This is a condition that needs to be explored and resolved. I hope that helps.

Q A

What is the best way to vacuum a carpet?

First, be sure your vacuum is in proper operating condition. Check the bag and change it if it’s more than half full or replace the filter as the owner’s manual directs on bagless vacuums. For bagged vacuums, clean or replace the secondary filter every time you buy a new package of bags. If your vacuum becomes clogged, it will lose suction and vacuuming will become a waste of time. Ensuring the vacuum is unplugged, check the brush roll and clean if it is clogged with hair or fibres and ensure that it rolls easily. Is the belt intact and not overstretched? These are quick and easy maintenance tips that should be done frequently.

In most cases, carpets should be vacuumed once or twice a week. Vacuuming is most effective when moving systematically from right to left or left to right with short comfortable strokes. Do not overextend or rush. In high traffic areas and halls slow down and vacuum in more than one direction. Every second time, vacuum the edges, corners and behind the doors. Bedrooms should be vacuumed frequently and don’t forget the steps. A well-vacuumed carpet will keep your home looking good and the air you breathe cleaner.

Sun add two defensive linemen to spring training camp

The Okanagan Sun has added a pair of defensive lineman to its training camp roster in advance of the 2014 B.C. Football Conference regular season.

Dalton Dietrich stands 6-foot-3, 255 pounds and is a product of the Lord Tweedsmuir High School program in Surrey.

Dietrich has prior knowledge of football and life in the Okanagan, having played in Kelowna for Sun assistant Jason Farnsworth as a member of Team B.C. “Just being out there was a beautiful atmosphere, the weather was great and it just really got me connected when I was

out there,” said Dietrich.

Kiril Kleinerman, a Winnipeg native, is 6-foot-3, 230 pounds.

Kleinerman played the last two seasons with the St.James Rods of the Manitoba Major Football League after graduating from Sturgeon Heights Secondary school.

Born in Russia and

raised in Israel, Kleinerman moved to Canada with his family when he was 13.

As for committing to

the Sun for 2014, Kleinerman said former high school teammate and current Okanagan receiver Zach Regert was instru-

mental in his decision.

“We’ve best friends since I moved to Canada,” Kleinerman said of Regert. “He was a very

big part of my decision to head out west.”

Both players will be in Kelowna this May for the Sun’s annual spring camp.

Deciphering between the healthy and unhealthy fats L ow Fat, no fat, bad fat—with so many diets and types of fat, the choices can be confusing.

Fat is important and necessary to many bodily functions and overall health.

However, too much fat or a high-fat diet is associated with obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some types of cancer.

My column today addresses a breakdown on the types of fat and how they affect your heart and health.

The four major types of fats are monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, saturated fats and trans fats.

Some examples of good fats that fall under the monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat categories include Olive oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, avocados, olives, nuts, peanut butter, soybean

FITNESS FOR SENIORS

Bobbi Kittle oil, corn oil, safflower oil, walnuts, sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, salmon, soymilk and tofu.

Saturated fats and trans fats are known as the “bad fats” because they increase your risk of disease and elevate cholesterol.

Both tend to be solid at room temperature (think of butter or margarine).

Not all “bad fats” are completely unhealthy.

Some such as wholefat dairy products are a good source of calcium and protein, and can have positive health benefits when consumed in moderation.

Saturated and trans fat examples include high-fat cuts of meat, chicken with the skin, whole-fat dairy products, butter, cheese, ice cream, palm oil, lard, commercially-baked pastries, cookies, doughnuts, muffins, cakes, packaged snack foods, stick margarine, vegetable shortening, fried foods and candy bars.

In order to ensure adequate protein intake without increasing unhealthy fat intake, consume lean meats and poultry low-fat and fat free dairy products and beans.

No more than 10 per cent of your calories should come from saturated fat.

Consuming less than 300 mg per day of cholesterol is advised as well.

But more than just the amount of fat, it’s the types of fat you eat that really matter.

Bad fats increase cholesterol and your risk of

certain diseases, while good fats protect your heart and support overall health.

In fact, good fats— such as omega-3 fats— are essential to physical and emotional health.

Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat. Your body can’t make them. You can only get omega-3 fats from food while all types of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are good for you; omega-3 fats are proving to be especially beneficial.

Research has shown that they play a vital role in cognitive function (memory, problem-solving abilities, etc.) as well as emotional health.

More omega-3 fatty acids in your diet can help you battle fatigue, sharpen your memory, and balance your mood.

They can also be helpful in the treatment of depression, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Still learning about Alzheimer’s disease

I

have written several columns in the past few months focusing on various aspects of Alzheimer’s as well as research into new treatment possibilities.

At times I may have sounded pessimistic on the subject because we still have so much to learn.

We have yet to develop a treatment that can stop or significantly slow the progression of dementia in Alzheimer’s patients and we still don’t understand how we can prevent it from occurring in the first place.

Because of this and also due to fear about the prognosis of this degenerative condition, many people wait too long to speak to their doctor if they suspect themselves or loved ones are experiencing the early signs of Alzheimer’s.

It is easy to think that if there is not much to be done to slow or stop the condition, what is the point of

getting scared by an official diagnosis.

Although these feelings are certainly understandable, there are many benefits to early diagnoPaul sis and management this disease. Early Latimer of diagnosis gives patients and their families some resources and support as they face an unknown future.

Not only can it be reassuring to learn more about the specific type of dementia you’re facing and what its course and difficulties can be, but there are other reasons early diagnosis is helpful. For some people, the earlier a medication is started, the more effective it can be. Also, an early diagnosis can help the individual be more involved in decisions about future care and management of the condition.

Perhaps one of the most important reasons to speak with your doctor early if you believe you’re experiencing symptoms of dementia, is that these symptoms can be

caused by illnesses aside from Alzheimer’s. Some of these conditions are treatable and a proper assessment from a doctor can help determine what the true underlying cause of symptoms may be.

Understanding what is known about your condition and accessing available resources and support help to ensure a better quality of life.

Finally, individuals with dementia can advocate on behalf of themselves and others experiencing dementia and even help advance the understanding of Alzheimer’s by participating in clinical trials for potential new treatment.

Although a diagnosis of dementia can seem frightening, it is important to know that there is life even with these symptoms. If you or a loved one think you might be experiencing early signs of dementia, speak with your doctor immediately.

(ADHD), and bipolar disorder.

NUTRITION TIPS

Try to eliminate trans fats from your diet. Check food labels and limit commercially-baked and fast food.

Limit your intake of saturated fats by cutting back on red meat and fullfat dairy foods.

Try replacing red meat with beans, nuts, poultry, and fish whenever possible, and switching from whole milk and other fullfat dairy foods to lower fat

versions.

Eat omega-3 fats every day. Good sources for those include fish, walnuts, ground flax seeds, flaxseed oil, canola oil and soybean oil.

Cook with olive oil.

Use olive oil for stovetop cooking, rather than butter, stick margarine or lard. For baking, try canola or vegetable oil.

Eat more avocados, olives and nuts. Try them in dips or salads. They loaded with heart and brain-healthy fats, they make for a filling and

satisfying meal.

Dress your own salad.

Commercial salad dressings are often high in saturated fat or made with damaged trans-fat oils.

Create your own healthy dressings with high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil, flaxseed oil, or sesame oil.

Proper care of pet dog’s teeth too often overlooked F ebruary is usually dedicated to promotion and awareness of dental health in the veterinary field.

Dental hygiene is one, if not the most important, aspect of veterinary preventative medicine. Oral hygiene has both medical and cosmetic significance.

FURRY FRIENDS

Dr. Moshe Oz Being aware and proactive about your pet’s

oral hygiene can positively influence your pet’s health and longevity.

Oral hygiene has perhaps been the most neglected aspect of pet health care. Researches showed that 90% of pets over two years of age have significant mouth disease and 50% of them require immediate attention.

X CROSSWORD

Small breed dogs such as Yorkshire terriers, toy poodles, etc. are more prone to tartar buildup. Dental disease in pets goes beyond bad breath. Your pet can also be affected by serious oral health threats that can have an impact on more than just its mouth.

When a dog eats, food, saliva and bacteria will stick to its teeth. This combination of food, saliva and bacteria is called plaque. The bacteria in plaque produce toxins, which cause inflammation and breakdown of the gums and tissue surrounding the teeth. Inflammation of the gum around the teeth is called gingivitis.

When plaque stays on the teeth for long enough, it will harden and turn into tartar also knows as calculus. Tartar allows more bacteria and debris to accumulate, which makes inflammation of the gums worse. If this

process goes unchecked, the supporting structures of the tooth degenerate.

This process is known as periodontal disease.

The gums become separated from the tooth (periodontal pockets) a condition, which might lead to tooth abscess (formation of pocket of puss around the tooth’s root) and eventually to loss of the tooth. Dental diseases are causing pain and discomfort, bad breath, and bleeding from the gums.

The dental disease significance goes way beyond the oral heath. A pet with an advanced oral disease is at risk of developing multiple medical problems because of shifting of the bacteria from the mouth to various internal organs through the bloodstream.

Severe dental disease can lead to life threatening conditions. The main target organs at risk are the lungs, heart, kidney, and joint infections.

So what can you do to maintain good oral health of your pet? The best way to prevent tartar accumulation and gingivitis is daily brushing.

You can use a baby tooth brush but I personally find that the easiest is to use a pet oriented toothbrush that you can wear on your finger.

You should always use pet toothpaste and not human toothpastes, salt, or baking soda. Human toothpaste’s foaming action is irritating and all of these substances can cause illness if swallowed. Pets getting fed with canned food are more prone to dental diseases formation.

I recommend avoiding giving cow’s bones to dogs for teeth cleaning because the bones can cause fractures of the teeth.

The best way to treat gingivitis and tartar accumulation is with a professional veterinary clean-

ing. This procedure requires general anesthesia.

The teeth are cleaned both above and below the gum line. In some cases, where there is an abscess or severe infection under or around the tooth root, a tooth may need to be extracted. Most dogs do very well after having teeth pulled.

A great many of them can even continue to eat dry food after losing a large number of teeth.

Unfortunately, some pets are reluctant to cooperate so it can be very challenging.

But an annual oral exam is recommended.

Your veterinarian will assess the teeth condition and will consult you about specific ways to improve your own pet’s oral hygiene.

DELCOURT, GLENN (1938-2014) It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing on February 12th, 2014, of a very special husband, supportive dad, loving grandpa, and a very special brother. He was one awesome “Guy”!

Survived by his loving wife, Yvette of 51 years and his 3 G’s: Glennys (David), Grant (Wendy), Gregg (Barb) as well as his loved grandchildren, Jaxon, Jayda and Jarvis Jurome, Hannah and Madison Delcourt, Taia and Jack Delcourt-Condon and his sister Diana. Predeceased by his Dad, Mum, his brother and a younger sister. Glenn was born on April 25th, 1938, and grew up in beautiful Kelowna. His strong work ethic started at an early age. He gave his 100 % in all that he did. At the age of 6 he started his first business venture of delivering papers. He participated in many sports as a young person, but especially excelled in basketball, tennis and hockey. He won the Fred Fatkin Memorial Rose Bowl Trophy at the age of 14 as the top junior tennis player in the Pacific Northwest. He was also a member of the winning B.C. Juvenile Packers, when they captured the B.C. Championships by defeating Trail. As a teenager he played basketball for the KSS Golden Owls, and was a member of the track and field team. After graduating from high school, he attended UBC to explore his passion for business. He married his wonderful wife, Yvette Killeen on November 30, 1962. They resided in Prince George for 10 years until they moved back to the Okanagan, settling in Kelowna where he resided until his death.

Glenn is known as a successful businessman starting at the Dairy Queen as co-owner with his brother and dad in 1961.

Shortly after, they owned and operated a chain of A & W’s across B.C. After 31 years, they concentrated their efforts at the Pizza Patio and O’Dels Family Restaurant in the Capri Mall. It was a well known spot for many! Glenn’s children and grandchildren inherited his love of sports, the ability to work hard and follow their dreams. Glenn was dedicated and devoted to his children’s hockey and figure skating events. You could hear Glenn’s cheering voice above everyone else at the numerous hockey games. He never missed a game. Glenn retired in 1994, and continued to play tennis, and took pride in hosting matches on his back yard tennis court. He enjoyed playing tennis right up to his time of passing. One of his greatest gifts to all of us was the love and support he created and gave to his family. He was a great example of what a husband, dad and grandpa should be. Glenn will be remembered for his big smile, and larger than life presence. He loved his family and friends unconditionally. We will miss his daily phone calls and continued support. He will be dearly missed, but our memories will stay with us forever.

A funeral service will be celebrated on Tuesday, February 18th at 12:00 pm at the St. Michaels’ Cathedral Church, 608 Sutherland Ave. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Role model youth honoured for his leadership The Okanagan Boys and Girls Club has announced that the Student Community Development Bursary in honour of Stewart Tuningley has been awarded to Austin Atcheson.

Austin was chosen for this award because of his love of teaching and helping others and his respect for the staff, youth and the Westside Youth Centre.

He has been an amazing role model and leader to the youth at the Westside Youth Centre and he will do a tremendous job honouring Stewart Tunningley as he completes his schooling to become a chef.

The bursary is named the Student Community

Development Bursary in honour and memory of Stewart Tuningley, who was tragically involved in a motor vehicle accident while volunteering at an Adopt a Road clean-up event.

Stewart was a retired teacher, a member of the West Kelowna Lions Club, a very active volunteer within his community and the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club Westside Youth Centre.

The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, along with Stewart’s wife Vera Tuningley, would like to thank all of the community members who donated to the Student Community Development Bursary fund, to help make this

Lianka, Karma and Kelsey are senior Malteses and have been “pampered pooches” all their lives. They are all spayed and looking for a new home where they can continue that love. They are all a little shy at first meeting but will warm up to you with tolerance and patience. They would best be suited in a home with NO CHILDREN as they have never been exposed to that level of activity.

They are good with other dogs, have been trained to go outside using a ‘doggie door’ so when you adopt, you will need to work on their leash skills. All three are going to be great friends and companions to a new guardian. If you would like to meet either or all three of these little cuties, please ask the staff to set up a meet and greet. They can hardly wait to find their new ‘forever homes’.
