Bringing Back the Lost Art of Dinner
“The decline of the family dinner is a disturbing trend,” said Andy O’Brien, M&M Meat Shops’ CEO. To mark the 10th Anniversary of National Family Dinner Night, M&M Meat Shops is leading a back-tobasics approach to bringing back the lost art of dinner. “While nourishment is important, dinner is so much more than the food you eat. Dinner is time spent together to talk to your loved ones and to acknowledge the value of every friend and family member at the table,” said O’Brien. Here are some other inter-

It’s no secret that our lives are busy. Many commitments compete for our time on a daily basis, making it increasingly difficult to carve out time for family and friends in a world filled with meetings, practices and classes, games and recitals. On Thursday, M&M Meat Shops invited all Canadians to focus on family for one sitdown meal by participating in the 10th Annual National Family Dinner Night. Plus, you could win one of three $100 M&M Meat Shops Gift Cards simply by sharing what you plan on cooking for dinner on: www.mmmeatshops.com. A recent survey conducted for M&M Meat Shops shows that only 30 per cent of families sit down for dinner together every night, a shocking decrease from 47 per cent in last year’s survey findings. An astonishing 20 per cent of families eat dinner together only two nights a week or less, with five per cent of these respondents never eating dinner as a family. And, when asked about simple, mealtime rituals, only 53 per cent of respondents say that their children know how to
properly set a table. So why is family dinner put on the back burner? Conflicting schedules caused a dinnertime disconnect for 35 per cent of those surveyed, while lack of time due to activities affected 26 per cent of respondents, and no time to cook was cited as the reason for 14 per cent of families. National Family Dinner Night encourages families to reconnect over dinner and honour the tradition of the family dinner.

esting facts from the M&M Meat Shops dinner survey: Quebec is the provincial leader in eating dinner with the family, with 43 per cent of those surveyed saying they eat dinner as a family every night. In Alberta, an astonishing 11 per cent of respondents say that they never sit down to a family dinner. Twelve per cent of parents don’t know if their kids know how to set a table because they’ve never asked them to. Forty per cent of those over 55 years of age eat with their family or spouse every night Not surprisingly, only 20 per cent of households with kids 18 and older eat dinner together every night; seven per cent of these households never eat dinner as a family Almost three quarters of kids in Manitoba know how to set the table, as compared to only one third of kids in Saskatchewan. Two per cent of respondents say they don’t sit down to a family dinner because the dinners are too boring; another two per cent say it’s because they already spend too much time as a family; and four per cent say it’s because their kids don’t want to.

“Some young families don’t know where to begin with dinner preparation, because they’ve never been shown,” says O’Brien. “We want those families — and all families in Canada — to know that it’s easier than they think to create simple, delicious, restaurantquality meals for family and friends. Over the last decade, National Family Dinner Night has been bringing families together and has been applauded by families, community leaders and dignitaries. This year, the experts at M&M Meat Shops are offering ideas to help Canadians discover the importance of the family dinner and help put the focus back on families at mealtime: Make a commitment. Start small by participating in National Family Dinner Night. Then determine what your family can realistically manage and once you’re in a dinnertime routine, work to increase the number of meals you share together. Be realistic. Dinner doesn’t have to be a gourmet endeavour every night. If you make mealtime prep too daunting, it won’t happen. M&M Meat Shops offers hundreds of convenient meal ideas for mouth-watering dishes, including gluten free, vegetarian and calorie conscious options, with little or no prep time needed. Plan ahead. Meal planning will help take the guesswork out of putting dinner on the table. With a planned schedule of meals, you won’t find yourself panicked at dinnertime, wondering what you can pull together lastminute. Add new tastes. In the M&M Meat Shops survey, nine per cent of respondents said they are bored with making dinner. It’s very easy to fall into a rut, but adding a little variety to your mealtime repertoire will make the family dinner more fun and exciting. Check out M&M Meat Shops website for meals with great flavour and flair, like chicken quesadillas, pulled pork and butter chicken. Think about time differently. Many people

say they don’t have time to make dinner, but M&M Meat Shops has a long list of products that take less time to prepare than waiting in the line-up at the drive thru. For example, family-friendly meals like meat loaf minis, three-cheese pasta bake, spaghetti bolognese and chicken fajitas can all be on the table in 20 minutes or less. Just start. In the survey, six per cent of respondents said that they don’t cook, but it really is easier than you think. Check out the M&M Meat Shops website for lots of meal ideas divided into key categories such as quick and delicious; hearty and wholesome; and kids’ favourites — no culinary skills required. Be flexible. While it’s great to eat a sitdown dinner at the same time every night, it’s OK to mix things up, if it means the whole family can eat together. Have snacks on hand to give kids energy for after-school activities and to help them bridge the gap to dinnertime, whip up a fruit smoothie with M&M Meat Shops flash frozen fruit or make your meal a finger-food buffet with options like sweet potato fries, mini franks in pastry and cod nuggets. Get kids involved. Having kids help make dinner or even just set the table, makes them more involved in the meal and provides more family bonding time.
Connecting Families for More than 30 Years
A Kitchener-based business, M&M Meat Shops opened its first store in 1980. Over the past 34 years, the chain has grown to more than 400 locations across Canada.

What is eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)? An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove skin or fat from the eyelids. Upper blepharoplasty surgery uses incisions on the skin to allow for removal of skin and fat. A thin stitch is then used to bring the skin together to allow for a creation of an eyelid crease. Why is eyelid surgery performed? Upper eyelid excess skin and fat can create a heavy looking eyelid, aged appearance, puffiness, and sometimes block vision. Upper blepharoplasty is performed to remove excess skin and fat and can improve vision.

Kerri Milton DOWNTOWN PENTICTON
We get asked a lot, why downtown and why shop local? We know the downtown of any community is the heart of the city, it is where events take place, small business is allowed to grow and tourists love to explore. Downtown is a symbol of community economic health, partnership between the private and public sector, local quality of life, community pride and community history. The downtown serves as a good incubator for new small businesses — they are the success of tomorrow. Downtown represents independent business which helps to support local families, local

community projects, keep profits in town and helps to reduce urban sprawl by concentrating activity in one central area. Downtown is the heart of the community and is an important community space where members of all segments of the community can meet equally for parades, speeches, and other events. There are a number of upcoming events to connect people with the downtown community including Movies in the Park on Sept. 19 featuring The Lego Movie and Princess Bride, the annual Zombie Walk/Pumpkin Trail takes place on Oct. 31 and the Black Friday event in late November. When the community meets, we all support each other locally; compared to chain stores, locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community, which in turn leads to more entrepreneurship. More entrepreneurship then leads to greater diversity, more choices and builds our local economy, which

benefits everyone. Penticton is distinctive in regards to geography and what we offer with the wineries, orchards and beaches, our local businesses all reflect what we have as a community. If we all do our part to contribute to our local businesses we are directly impacting our community, our downtown, and local ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by the people who live here. Penticton has already won an award for being open for business. Shopping local creates an environment which invites more business opportunity and in turn builds a stronger economy which only helps YOUR Community.

People love to support their local bounty, especially in Penticton. The We Heart Local Awards, an initiative of the B.C. Agriculture Council and the Ministry of Agriculture, along with a ton of passionate food groups and enthusiasts, is meant to encourage people across B.C. to buy and eat locally. Penticton nominees include: Daydreamer Wines, Penticton Farmers’ Market, and Upper Bench Winery & Creamery, plus a whole lot more from the Okanagan region. Included in that list under the Local food truck category is Roxy’s Diner Food Truck. Chef Vincent Denis and his partner Christine Leman took their culinary talents on the road this year with their take on traditional diner foods. The truck, usually stationed at Canadian Tire, has made appearances at Penticton Peach Festival, Peach City Beach Cruise and the Oliver Sunshine Festival in its first season. They described their food as, “the most stunning, elevated, foodie-drool-worthy burgers, fries and hot dogs — not to mention the best fried chicken on the planet.” Topping the favourites on the menu is Roxy’s Bringing Home the Bacon, bacon dog. Everything, of course, is made from scratch. “We had a really great year,” said Denis, who is now preparing for the winter season working at his other restaurant at Big White. “We have had a lot of great support in the South Okanagan with the food truck and in

turn we love to support local farmers and suppliers.” The local connection is part of the draw for customers, along with the great menu. Fans of Roxy’s craving their food will be able to find them next at the Festival of the Grape in Oliver on Oct. 5. Some of the other South Okanagan outlets finding their way into the Top 20 of their category is the Penticton Farmers Market, Upper Bench Winery and Creamery, Liquidity Bistro chef Rob Walker, Hillside Farm Market, Forbidden Fruit winery, Wild Goose Vineyards and Winery, Blasted Church, Silver Sage Winery, Elephant Island Winery and Daydreamer Wines. Anyone living in the province can vote for their favourite nominees in the categories by visiting www.weheartlocalawards.ca. There are delicious incentives for people to vote: By voting each person is automatically entered to win a $100 gift card to their local farmer’s market as well as the fabulous grand prize - three nights at Taku Resort and Marina on Quadra Island, a culinary weekend including cooking classes from some of B.C.’s most popular local chefs. We Heart Local organizers said when people support B.C. family-owned farms and food businesses you stand behind quality food, care for the environment and local communities and the economy. Farms in B.C. are 98 per cent family-owned.

Penticton Secondary alumni give back to Shatford Centre Submitted
Alumni from Penticton Secondary School Class of 1953 donated $682.52 for the purchase of hardware to complete a set of artisan doors at the Shatford Centre. The doors were created by Shatford Centre staff member Peter Spek. The classmates met and discussed which organization they would like to donate to and the Shatford Centre was chosen. The historic Shatford building is a logical choice as these former Pen Hi students spent so many years going to school here. In fact, the class of 1953 had their grad dance in the Shatford auditorium. The custom doors have been designed to look like the popular front doors built by Rick Grandbois and his team in Naramata at Plexus Doors.
The front doors measure about four metres with the transom and are made from reclaimed Douglas Fir that is likely over 100 years old. Grandbois donated reclaimed Douglas Fir wood to the Shatford Centre for the auditorium doors. The auditorium doors are standard sized, however, they will look similar to the front doors, just quite a bit smaller. Spek is a skilled craftsman and the Shatford Centre staff said they are fortunate to have him work on the doors. The old doors have served well, however, there were issues with damaged hardware and latches that were not working properly. They had been repaired many times in the last four years and are in a state of disrepair and it was definitely time for new doors and hardware. Neil Buss of Penticton Lock and Key ordered the door handles and delivered them the
morning that the 1953 classmates came in for the photograph. After the doors are installed, the Pen Hi’s class of 1953 will be invited back so that we can celebrate having the doors completed, take another photograph and also unveil a plaque commemorating this improvement to the historic Shatford building. They hope to select a time when we can have as many 1953 alumni come as possible. Once again, special thanks to Pen Hi’s 1953 alumni for thinking of the Shatford Centre. They believe the Shatford is a legacy project for future generations to enjoy and this donation is another step in the right direction.
The Shatford Centre is a creativity centre dedicated to creative well-being. It is the home of the Okanagan School of the Arts and is located at 760 Main St. They are currently fundraising to build a commercial community kitchen. The kitchen is being planned as a teaching and demonstration kitchen where culinary arts, life-styles and wellness will be shared with many organizations and individuals in our community. There will be workshops on canning, dehydrating and processing foods too. Their main fundraising partner is the Penticton Rotary Club. To contact us, please call 250-770-7668 or e-mail info@shatfordcentre.com.
