Heart surgery advocate honoured Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

The man who spearheaded the drive to bring full cardiac care services, including open heart surgery, to Kelowna has had the lobby of the facility he fought for years to have built in Kelowna named after him.

Cardiologist Dr. Richard Hooper was praised Tuesday as a man who would not give up on his dream of seeing Kelowna General Hospital become just the fifth site in B.C. to offer full cardiac care.

Three of the other facilities are in the Lower Mainland and the fourth is in Victoria.

INVASIVE MUSSELS

Demand for more boat checking resources Richard Rolke Contributor

Boats carrying invasive mussels are being found and that has local officials calling for additional resources.

Of the 6,100 boats inspected so far this year in B.C., 240 came from high-risk jurisdictions and eight were infested with adult quagga or zebra mussels.

“What they are finding is a little scary. We’re having close calls,” said chairperson Doug Findlater during Okanagan Basin Water Board’s meeting Tuesday in Coldstream.

Findlater, the mayor of West Kelowna, wants boat inspection stations at the Alberta border expanded.

“The big hole in the net is they are not operating 10 hours a day. We could see

someone come through once the station is closed and drop it (boat) into the water,” he said.

“An expanded program with hours makes sense, it just takes one boat and they are into a lake.”

A crew of 32 trained mussel inspectors work seven days a week, 10 hours a day, at eight permanent inspection stations along B.C. borders to prevent the spread of invasive mussels.

Government representatives say the U.S. border stations are monitored 24 hours a day through Canada Customs while hours at the Alberta border stations are adjusted based on traffic patterns.

“If we are missing some, we’’re not missing a lot,” said Sgt. Josh Lockwood, with the Conservation Officer Service.

Martina Beck, invasive species co-ordinator, told

OBWB that the B.C. Ministry of Environment is trying to improve detection of mussels.

“We are collecting data on when watercraft are moving,” she said.

“We will use that to maximize our program’s efficiency.”

All eight boats confirmed to have mussels originated from Ontario.

So far this year, 45

decontamination orders have been issued in B.C., with 35 quarantined to meet the 30-day required drying time.

Quagga and zebra mussels can clog pipes, cause ecological and economic damage, displace native aquatic plants and wildlife, degrade the environment and affect drinking water quality.

news _____________________________________________________________________ OKANAGAN RAIL TRAIL

Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Trail ambassadors with the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative are calling fundraising efforts a marathon, but the Canada Day weekend provided an instant jolt to the nearly $8-million campaign to raise development money for the rail trail.

A Canada Day matching fund challenge raised over $42,000 in the first several days of the campaign, which had an anonymous donor originally pledging to match funds donated between July 1 and 10 up to $50,000.

But the strong start has inspired the donor to increase matching to $100,000 if the original

goal of $50,000 is met.

“When I got the update on how well the matching donations have been coming in I thought I couldn’t ask for a better Canada Day,” stated the matching donor, who has asked to remain anonymous “We have an incredible opportunity to build a legacy for our communities and if another matching offer will keep the momentum up then I will gladly do my part.”

If the first $50,000 challenge can be met by July 10, the donor will put up a further $50,000.

Trail ambassador Brad Clements said the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative is honouring the donor’s wish to remain anonymous.

But Clements says the offer is real and donations are being vetted by and taken in through the Central Okanagan Foundation as well as the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan, which are providing tax receipts for donations.

“We have an amazing supporter willing to do this (matching donation) and we have incredible people trying to spread the word,” said Clements, who noted that fundraising efforts will take some time to reach its overall goal.

“We have to raise $7.86 million. It’s a large number. This is a marathon so what we are doing now is getting ready for the marathon.

“We have 35 trail ambassadors that are

stepping up and we have partners coming on daily.

“To build this legacy, it’s going to take awhile.”

So far the entire fundraising campaign has raised $266,720 while the matching campaign was at $42,140 as of Monday.

The fundraising program has set several benchmarks to raise money, the first of which is the $500,000 mark, which will pay for engineering and provide gates and barricades at all entrances along the rail trail.

The matching offer is seen as a good opportunity to leverage people’s personal donations.

“This is an opportunity that we have to take advantage of,” added

Culinary scholarship fundraiser Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Over 30 restaurants, vineyards, gardens and cooking schools from the Okanagan to Vancouver Island will offer up a table next month for the Summerdine dinner party—a scholarship fundraiser aimed at creating more opportunities for women who work in wine and

food.

“It’s really a great event,” said Jennifer

Schell, an Okanagan member of the BC branch of Les Dames d’Escoffier, which puts on the annual event.

“You’re sitting there having this amazing dinner…and you’re doing it at the same time as people from across the province.”

It offers a chance to meet new people, speak to chefs about how they’re innovating

KELOWNA DRIVERS

Police: Don’t be a target The City of Kelowna and Kelowna RCMP are urging drivers to remove valuables from their vehicles and make sure that the doors are locked.

The incentive to get the message across is the second annual Don’t Be An Easy Target anti-theft campaign.

This initiative encourages local residents and tourist visitors to remove valuables from vehicles, lock vehicle doors and roll up windows and to report suspicious activity.

“RCMP have noticed that theft in Kelowna and throughout the Central Okanagan is on the rise,” said Kelowna RCMP Const. Jesse O’Donaghey.

“Police are seeing that nearly half of all thefts committed are from vehicles or homes that were left unlocked or unsecured by their owners.”

City and RCMP staff and volunteers will attend events this summer, handing out postcards as part of a social media contest that encourages behaviour change to help prevent theft from vehicles.

The postcard features a decal that can be placed on the inside (facing out) of the driver-side window to let people know that the vehicle is “all locked up and (there’s) nothing to take.”

“The window decal is a reminder to the driver and a visual message to any passerby or potential thief, that the vehicle isn’t a target,”said O’Donaghey.

By posting a picture of the campaign decal on a vehicle window to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using hashtags #Kelowna #dontbeaneasytarget

participants will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate to a local restaurant or retailer, drawn biweekly until the fall). The decals will be available at local summer

events, the Kelowna detachment at 350 Doyle Ave., or the community police stations in Rutland, 115 McIntosh Rd., and the Okanagan Mission, 101-1450 KLO Rd.

and just delight in the specially-designed multiple-course menu, complete with wines selected to complement that menu.

And, she pointed out, it’s all in the name of helping women in both culinary arts and the wine industry advance their careers in what are still considered maledominated fields.

The Summerdine dinner has been held in the Okanagan since 2014.

This year the participants are RauDZ Regional Table, which will be catering a dinner for six at Spierhead Winery.

Terrafina at Hester Creek Winery will be hosting a table for four, the Okanagan Grocery is partnering with One Big Table to present a picture perfect lakeside long

table with 12 seats and Old Vines Restaurant at Quail’s Gate Winery has a special table set for six people.

Also, BC Restaurant Hall of Famer and legendary chef Bernard Casavant, will host eight people in his home for a very special dinner.

The price is $79 per person for dinner with wine (gratuity not included). Not a bad deal when you consider the price of a good meal including wine or how hard it is to get reservations at some places. Seats have been on sale June 17 at www. lesdames.ca.

All funds raised from Summerdine go to support Les Dames d’Escoffier BC Chapter’s Scholarship and Outreach program

Body discovery treated as suspicious The discovery of a deceased woman in a Cawston Avenue residence last weekend continues to be treated as a suspicious death by Kelowna RCMP. Police have released the identity of the person found as Rita Maria LeHockey, 48.

Police found LeHockey at her residence in the 800-block of Cawston after responding to a 911 call.

Police say the circumstances surrounding LeHockey’s demise remain unclear.

A 53-year-old Kelowna man was detained for questioning but has since been released from police custody.

The Kelowna RCMP General Investigation Section continue to work with the BC Coroners Service, says Const. Jesse O’Donaghey.

An autopsy is expected to be completed in the coming days and investigators are awaiting its results to determine an exact cause of LeHockey’s death, added O’Donaghey.

“Our investigators would like to speak with anyone who may have information surrounding Rita’s LeHockey’s death or the time leading up to her death,” said O’Donaghey.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP Serious Crime Unit at 250-762-3300.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Olympic changes a must The Olympics are worth saving.

The movement and the organization that runs it, the International Olympic Committee, have rightly taken some knocks in recent years.

There is very clearly some serious reform needed as it goes forward. The IOC must reduce its increasingly ridiculous demands on host nations.

More and more countries are simply deciding that they just can’t afford to host an Olympics. This is tending to leave only bidders that are unsuitable in some way vying for the prize.

The cost of hosting a games has to come down.

And standards have to be brought up for ensuring that hosts are on track to provide the facilities promised.

Accommodations, sidewalks and more were notoriously unfinished when Russia hosted the Winter Olympics at Sochi in 2014. Just a month away, the 2016 Summer Games in Rio, Brazil, are even further behind, with some items already crossed of the list altogether—things like cleaning up some of the water venues so they don’t make athletes sick.

The blame lies not so much with the host nation as it does with the IOC, which decided on the host in the first place. It was ultimately up to them to review the promises made and determine whether or not the bidder could meet them.

Then there’s the scandal of the Russian doping.

The entire track team has been suspended from international competition and cannot compete in Rio. There are serious allegations that some medallists from Sochi got onto the podium with help from banned substances and a bizarre and clandestine sample-swap conspiracy, an act we’ve all seen before from other countries.

So why should we still have the Olympics at all? The Olympics is about the world coming together in peace for competition. It is about pride and setting goals and inspiration. It is about and for the athletes living out their dreams. It makes them and the rest of us feel a part of something bigger than ourselves. That’s worth saving.

Hooper a catalyst for health care Back in the far reaches of time— City probably close to 15 Confidential years ago now—I used to cover the ALISTAIR battles between the WATERS Kelowna Medical Association and the, then, relatively new Liberal government of B.C. The association, now a shadow of its former self, was pretty active back then and very vocal when it came to local doctors voicing their concerns about the state of health care in this province, particularly here in Kelowna and the Central Okanagan.

At the time, the president, and the man leading the charge, was Kelowna cardiologist Dr. Richard Hooper.

Not one to hold back, Hooper had no compunction about blasting his friend, and former Vancouver neighbour, then-premier Gordon Campbell over what doctors here felt was a lack of funding for health care.

As a cardiologist, Hooper wanted full cardiac services in the Okanagan. A cardiac centre here, he argued, would save patients time, money and waiting, and possibly their lives, because they had to travel to the Lower Mainland or Victoria where, at that time, the only cardiac centres in B.C. were located.

To say Hooper worked tirelessly and hard to make that happen would be an understatement.

With the ear of both Campbell and the late KelownaMission MLA Sindi Hawkins, who was, at one time, minister for health planning in B.C., Hooper was instrumental working behind the scenes in helping realize that dream, as well as getting a whole series of multi-million dollar improvements to Kelowna

General Hospital, including a new patient care tower, a new laboratory building, introduction of the cardiac revascularization program that opened at KGH in 2009 and, the crown jewel, the $381-million Interior Heart and Surgical Centre.

Construction of that building started in 2013, three years after Campbell, as premier, limped onto a stage in Kelowna—he was wearing a boot cast on a broken foot at the time—and announced funding for the longawaited cardiac centre at KGH. It was completed three years later.

The addition made Kelowna just the fifth centre in B.C. to offer full cardiac services, including open heart surgeries. Three of those centres are located in the Lower Mainland and one is in Victoria.

The Kelowna centre was exactly what Hooper envisioned, a state-of-the-art cardiac facility serving the entire B.C. Interior, staffed by a top-notch team of heart specialists. The doctors, nurses and staff of the IHSC will help save hundreds of lives every year.

When it opened in March of this year, I saw Hooper for the first time in years.

We reminisced about when we used to talk about his dream of seeing such a centre here, and despite trying to stay in the background, he was justifiably proud.

On Tuesday, he wasn’t able to avoid the spotlight.

A naming ceremony was held at the IHSC, honouring Hooper for the work he did in bringing full cardiac services to Kelowna and the B.C. Interior.

It was a fitting tribute to a man who, as a professional, worked to fix ailing hearts, and he showed a lot of heart himself in pushing to have a facility the calibre of the IHSC built here.

Canada Day short on enthusiasm EXPRESS “The ‘dignitaries’ on stage…our elected officials. It’s not their day. They’re not celebrities.” our great country? The walls should have been vibrating.

I feel part of the problem is the contingent on the stage, designated as ‘dignitaries,’ mainly a group of our elected officials. It’s not their day. They are not celebrities who warrant centre stage year after year but employees of the local citizens, who can walk about and mingle like the rest of us. How spine-tingling is a “Is everyone celebrating?” scream from a politician?

What we need are a few local residents, from all spheres, to say a few words and a local musician—there are many—who can work the crowd up into an enthusiastic rendition of O’Canada.

to be built on what has been a 1.2 hectare greenbelt area called Vineyard Park, which borders on Vineyard Drive and Ridge Boulevard in the South Mt. Boucherie residential area.

While knocking on doors in the area during his campaign, de Jong said the feedback he received was the need for a playground to be built on the site, which he promised to follow through on.

A resolution before council on Tuesday was to approve the additional $50,000 expenditure for the playground addition to the park, in addition to $172,000 in other improvements planned to upgrade the park’s natural state, which has been paid for by Mission Hill Family Estate Winery as part of its 2009 area

development application.

The additional playground funds would have come from two sources—capital reserves ($23,000) and playground equipment reserve ($27,000). But de Jong encountered resistance from a group of area residents opposed to the project.

Susan Schultz, speaking on behalf of the group opposed to the proposal, said the site was ill-suited for a playground, advocating instead that

it be kept in its natural state.

Schultz said most of the area residents are empty nesters or retirees, suggesting there is a lack of nearby resident children who would benefit from the playground, and stated there is inadequate space for parking.

She also cited it bordering on a busy traffic thoroughfare, where speeding seems to be the rule rather than the exception, as posing a potential risk for children using the playground.

“This area in its natural state has become a welcome break from the asphalt and concrete that surrounds us and we would like to see it maintained in its natural state,” Schultz said.

Coun. Bryden Winsby said he questioned the

demographics of the area, citing Schultz’s claim that most of the immediate area residents are retired.

“I drive around that area quite a bit and I don’t see very many kids outside when I’m there,” he noted.

Mayor Doug Findlater said if there is opposition to the playground at this time, there is no need for the city to push the idea as part of the park upgrade plan.

“I like the idea of putting our stamp on there a bit so people don’t take the area as a place to park their cars or RVs, but I don’t see any harm in delaying the playground to some future date,” he said.

“If there are others who would welcome a playground in their neighbourhood, let’s go there.”

Subway armed robbery Help for mental health programs suspect arrested by RCMP While International Yoga Day was celebrated across the globe last week, three well-known local yoga teachers took to the roof-top of the Eldorado Hotel to do a lot more for our community than just stretching people’s hamstrings.

Yoga teachers Pam Radar, Shauna Nyrose and Chelsea Ray led more than 60 yogi’s in a sunset yoga class atop the iconic Kelowna hotel.

With stunning views of the lake, live guitar music and an exquisite Okanagan sunset, it was the perfect way to spend the summer solstice.

The event, which sold out for participation in less than three weeks, was also a fundraiser for the Lit from Within Project, a grassroots organization founded by the three teachers to raise money to support the integration of yoga and meditation into mental health, trauma and addiction recovery programs in Kelowna.

The event raised $7,820, nearly doubling the proceeds from last year.

“This is truly what yoga is all about,” said Shauna Nyrose, co-founder of Lit from Within and a yoga

CANADA POST CONTRACT TALKS

Workers hit with lockout notice Jeff Nagel Contributor

Regular mail and parcel delivery could be knocked out as early as Friday after Canada Post issued 72hour lockout notice to its unionized workforce on Tuesday.

Canada Post said it plans to suspend the collective agreement, citing declining volumes as major customers anticipate a mail service disruption.

The company said the move will give managers the flexibility to adjust staffing to match the reduced amount of work needed due to the “changing business reality” and doesn’t necessarily mean a lockout will be triggered.

Mike Palecek, president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, denounced the move as one aimed at forcing 50,000 postal workers to accept steep concessions.

“We knew this was

Canada Post has rejected CUPW’s demands as unaffordable, saying they would add more than $1 billion over the life of a new contract.

In an RCMP news release issued Monday, no mention of a weapon being found was included.

A 39-year-old Kelowna man was held in police custody over the weekend and was to appear in court Monday.

He faces potential charges of robbery and obstruction of a police officer because he gave a false name.

Documentary about mining firm to be screened in Kelowna Investigative journalist John Dougherty will screen his documentary in Kelowna on Sunday, July 10, about the controversial actions of a mining corporation.

Called Flin Flon Flim Flam, Doughtery’s investigative efforts are focused on the worldwide operations of Hudbay Minerals, Inc. The film highlights Hudbay’s record of human rights and environmental abuses.

“Hudbay has a long history of tightly controlling information released to the media and the public,” Dougherty said.

“This film produced in the United States provides a rare glimpse into the operations of one of Canada’s oldest mining companies without the threat of a defamation lawsuit that has been used

by Canadian mining companies to stop

publication of information in Canada.

Dougherty says his documentary reveals a company that knowingly poisoned people in Flin Flon with heavy metals, stands accused of heinous crimes in Guatemala, deployed Peruvian police to tear gas and beat women in Peru and is now seeking to destroy a rare desert aquatic environment in the Coronado National Forest in Arizona that is home to the only known wild jaguar in the United States.

“This is not information Hudbay wants to have anyone share with Canadians,” he said. “That’s why I’m bringing the film to Canada.”

The documentary will be shown at the Okanagan College lecture theatre, starting at 7 p.m., sponsored by the Okanagan College Faculty Association.

And, like an image of an ambulance stuck in a snowstorm on the Coquihalla Highway that he regularly used during his years of lobbying for the IHSC to show the challenge of getting patients to Vancouver, he said he and his wife have also had to brave the weather to get to communities throughout the Southern Interior over the last four years.

Despite that, the only trip he missed, he said, was one last year when the wildfire near Rock Creek closed the highway.

“And it’s a good thing we did not get through because we would not have got back,” said Hooper.

New Holiday Inn proposal approved by Kelowna city council

Holiday Inn can now tell Marriott Hotels “this is how to do it in Kelowna.”

After a twin Marriott Hotels proposal for the site of the existing Okanagan Seasons Resort at the intersection of Highways 33 and 97

was rejected recently by Kelowna city council because of property frontage parking issues, a bid to build a new Holiday Inn Express hotel across the street from that site has been approved because the plan calls for one-storey commercial buildings to

front the street on that site.

Holiday Inn, which already has one of its Express Hotels a few blocks away, just north of Dilworth Drive on Highway 97, was looking for a new site to accommodate a larger building.

The existing Holiday Inn Express will likely remain as a hotel under a different name.

On Tuesday night, Kelowna city council gave the new six-storey Holiday Inn Express project the green light.

Meanwhile, proponents of the two Marriott Hotels plan to return to city hall with a revised site plan.

Council has said for highway frontage development, it wants parking at the rear of the property and buildings fronting the road.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company.

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

seniors ___________________________________________________________________ BECOMING ISOLATED

Impact of undiagnosed hearing loss Senior citizens with undiagnosed or untreated hearing problems are more likely to suffer from social isolation and cognitive impairment, a UBC study has found.

UBC Okanagan researchers examined the impact of undiagnosed or untreated hearing issues in seniors aged 60 to 69.

The study found that for every 10 decibels (roughly the sound of calm breathing) drop in

hearing sensitivity, the odds of social isolation increased by 52 per cent.

Among the sample of seniors, a 10-decibel reduction of hearing sensitivity was also associated with cognitive declines equivalent to almost four years of chronological aging.

“Hearing loss is often not thought of as a public health issue and as a result there is often not a lot of health care

clinical assistant professor at UBCO’s Southern Medical Program.

“As social isolation has been shown to have similar impacts on mortality rates as smoking and alcohol consumption, this is something we should examine further at both the system and individual patient level.”

Mick’s study examined data collected between 1999 and 2010 by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a survey that

Mick’s study was recently published in the journal Ear and Hearing.

Examples of true citizenship Premier Christy Clark today presented two well-known Okanagan residents, Troy Becker and Marion Sallenbach, with the province’s newest honour, the Medal of Good Citizenship.

The ceremony was held as part of the Canada Day Celebration today at Prospera Place in Kelowna.

Launched in July 2015 by Premier Clark, the prestigious Medal of Good Citizenship recognizes individuals who, through exceptional long-term service, have made outstanding contributions to their communities without expectation of remuneration or reward.

The medal reflects their generosity, service, acts of selflessness and contributions to community life.

Nominations for the Medal of Good Citizenship are accepted year-round.

Premier Christy Clark bestowed Medals of Good Citizenship upon Marion Sallenback of Lake Country, and Troy Becker of West Kelowna, at the Canada Day festivities in Prospera Place last Friday. was also honoured for her many years of volunteering within the community, her selfless actions having a tremendous impact on countless families in the Okanagan.

An active volunteer in the community for over

50 years, Sallenbach began volunteering with the Hospital Auxiliary in Winfield in the late 1960s, her efforts helping to raise thousands of dollars for the Kelowna General Hospital.

Ten years later, she helped bring the Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program (HELP) to Winfield and over the next four decade the impact of the BC HELP program grew, loaning 170,000 pieces of equipment—such as crutches, canes, walkers and wheelchairs—to 94,00 British Columbians in 2014-15 alone.

In addition to her work for the hospital, Sallenbach has also volunteered with the Winfield Community Church, the Red Cross, and the Independent Order of Foresters, through which she has donated her time and expertise in a myriad of ways, which includes helping with the ‘Wheels to Meals’ for seniors, bookkeeping services, and assisting the ‘Adopta-Road initiatives.

Now in her ninth decade, Sallenbach continues to dedicate her time to the community, her volunteer work also complimented by the assistance of her two daughters, Joanne Galigan and Sharyn Fiwchuk making her

contributions a family affair.

“Troy Becker and Marion Sallenbach are two extraordinary citizens who have gone above and beyond to make a real, lasting difference in people’s lives. By giving their time and talents so selflessly, they’re more than just good citizens— they represent the very best in us,” said Clark.

Becker acknowledged that impactful initiatives require a dedicated and passionate group of people working together who provide the energy and resources to break down barriers.

“An organization’s purpose can only be achieved through leadership supported by a committed and compassionate network of people,” Becker said.

“Our strong network of family, friends, volunteers, staff, coworkers, participants an community partners is unwavering in their support.

“Together we have, and will continue to make a difference” Becker said.

Sallenbach said being a Red Cross volunteer was her way to give back to her community.

“It is a great way to meet new people and make new friends while also helping those in need,” she said.

UBCO makes volleyball coaching change Kevin Parnell

Brad Hudson has been hired on as an interim coach for the UBCO men’s volleyball team until the university can post the full-time position. since its inception as the team began play first at the collegiate level and then advanced to the highest level of university sports in Canada, the CIS, as a member of the Canada West Division five years ago. The team made the Canada West playoffs in its first year in CIS but has failed to make the playoffs the last several years.

When contacted by the Kelowna Capital News Poitras declined

to comment on the situation.

At the university, Johnson said the timing wasn’t great and UBCO has moved to hire an interim coach for the coming season with Hudson taking the job on a temporary basis.

“Given the timing of this we didn’t feel it was an appropriate time to try and fill on an ongoing basis because at this time of the year many people who may be interested

probably wouldn’t apply simply because it’s so close to the start of the season and it would leave their teams in a bit of a lurch,” he said.

Still Johnson was able to lure Hudson to the Kelowna-based university from the PACWEST conference, where he had been named coach of the year three of the past four years.

“We’re very pleased with the quality of applicants we received

and very pleased Brad has accepted our offer,” said Johnson. “We think he’s a wonderful coach and we’re going to proceed with this and post the ongoing position at a later date. It’s such tricky timing because recruiting is going on all the time with volleyball so it’s very challenging for an interim coach to be a successful recruiter.”

So, the UBCO men’s volleyball program will move forward with

DALE ABBEY/UBCO HEAT

For the first time in more than a decade, the UBCO men’s volleyball program will head into a season with a new coach.

Late last week the university announced it had parted ways with Greg Poitras, the man who had guided the UBCO Heat since 2005, when the university opened its doors.

Poitras’ removal as head coach was announced late Thursday in a press release announcing a new interim head coach in Brad Hudson, who had been coaching the Douglas College Royals mens team in the PACWEST conference.

“The university and Greg Poitras had a difference of opinion on the roll of a coach and as a result Greg is no longer involved with the program,” said Rob Johnson, UBC Okanagan director of athletics and recreation, declining further comment on the decision.

A long-time volleyball coach and member of the Kelowna Volleyball Club as well, Poitras had been with the Heat program

Some players remain in Kelowna working out at the university but the full team won’t be together until August when it holds its training camp, ahead of the start of the schedule in the fall (see story below).

For Hudson’s part, he says moving to the CIS at UBC Okanagan is a great step forward and he looks forward to the challenge.

“I am extremely grateful to UBC for affording me this opportunity,” said

Hudson. “Through my coaching career I have invested wholly in the shared pursuit of personal and collective excellence and I believe there is no greater platform than that of head coach at the University of British Columbia Okanagan. Our culture, relationships and ultimately our commitment to high performance as well as the complete studentathlete experience, will give us the tools to be successful.

With close to 400 carded members, pickleball is a thriving sport in Kelowna.

Pickleball nationals in Kelowna Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Although it isn’t an official designation, it’s easy to understand why Kelowna is often referred to as the Pickleball capital of Canada.

With around 400 member players, 12 fullydedicated pickleball courts, and home to the 2015 and 2016 national championships, the B.C. Interior’s largest city comes by the moniker honestly.

This weekend, from Friday through Sunday, 440 competitors from across North America will converge at the Parkinson Rec Centre courts for the Pickleball Canada National Tournament.

With entrants ranging in age from 12 to the 83, Pickleball Kelowna president Bryan Jackson said the sport is truly accessible to all ages.

“The games are short, the learning curve is short and you can play it well into your senior years,” said Jackson. “It’s not hard on the knees and shoulders, there’s not a lot of running involved, but it is a great means of exercise. It’s a very social sport, too.

“We’re finding there’s a bigger turn out the last couple of years in people 35 to 45,” he added, “so people from all ages are playing.”

Pickleball is a paddle sport—a sort of hybrid between tennis, table tennis and badminton— and is played with a wiffle ball.

The courts are hardsurfaced and are 1/4 the size of a regulation tennis court.

With a $10,000 donation from Pickleball

Kelowna, two of the tennis courts beside Parkinson were permanently converted into what Jackson calls “…12 of the best courts in Canada.”

Pickleball’s origins in Kelowna date back to about 2000 and the sport has grown swiftly and steadily ever since.

“We’re the largest organized club in Canada,” Jackson said.

“The sport is very popular in B.C. and Quebec, and it’s just huge in the U.S. It continues to grow.”

Each game is played to 11 and may last between 15 and 20 minutes. More than 800 matches will be played at nationals over three days on 28 courts, all near the Parkinson Rec Centre.

There will be singles and doubles competition in men’s, women’s and mixed divisions, encompassing six levels of skill—3.0, 3.5, 4.0. 4.5, 5.0 and Open.

Kelowna mayor Colin Basran will be on hand to officiate the opening ceremony, which is set for 7:30 a.m. Friday at Parkinson.

For more information, visit pickleballkelowna. com.

ORIGINS OF PICKLEBALL*

Pickleball started during the summer of 1965 on Bainbridge Island in Washington, at the home of thenState Representative Joel Pritchard. He and two friends returned from golf and found their families bored one Saturday afternoon.

They attempted to set up badminton, but no one could find the shuttlecock. They improvised with a

wiffle ball, lowered the badminton net, and fabricated paddles of plywood from a nearby shed.

Although some sources claim that the name ‘Pickleball’ was derived from the Pritchard’s family dog, Pickles, other sources state that the name actually came from the term ‘pickle boat’, referring to the last boat to return with its catch.

According to Joan

Pritchard, Joel Pritchard’s wife, the name came “after I said it reminded me of the pickle boat crew where oarsmen were chosen from the leftovers of other boats.

“Somehow the idea the name came from our dog Pickles was attached to the naming of the game, but Pickles wasn’t on the scene for two more years. The dog was named for the game.” * from Wikipedia

The schools will now play in a 20-game regular season schedule. Each team will play four geographical, or historical opponents every year,

with games against six of the remaining 12 opponents every other year.

Over a four-year rotation in the schedule, each team will play every team in the conference at least twice, and will visit every gym in Canada West at least once.

The Heat will say goodbye to the Explorer

Division, where last season both the men’s and the women’s missed the playoffs, by just one spot for the women (4th; 10-10) and two for the men (5th; 8-12).

The 20 games will run every weekend between Nove. 4 and Feb. 11, with the winter break stretching from Dec. 3 until Jan. 6.

The Heat start their 2016-17 season at home, when Trinity Western come to UBCO on Friday, Nov. 4 and Saturday, Nov. 5.

UBC Okanagan’s first games on the road will be the second weekend of the season against another opponent not faced last season, when they travel to Brandon,

Week 11, the last of the 2016-17 campaign, will have the Heat hosting the University of the Fraser Valley. For the men, that final weekend will present the opportunity to continue a winning streak against UFV that began in the teams’ final meeting last season.

For the women’s side,

though, the matchup could mean potentially more.

In tipping off against UFV, the Heat will have a shot to take the final game of the season from the team which began UBCO’s sevengame losing streak that closed out the season, and dropped the UBC Okanagan women out of playoff contention.

news _____________________________________________________________________ LAKE COUNTRY

Sculpture symposium planned Kevin Parnell Three sculptures still stand in Lake Country parks as a legacy to an Okanagan Valley-wide sculpture symposium held in 2002.

Now the Lake Country public arts commission is hoping that the district can again benefit from world class sculpting as it looks to host a sculpture symposium in 2017.

It would coincide with Canada’s 150th birthday, would honour First Nations in the area and enrich the future trail loop around Wood Lake on the Okanagan Rail Trail and Pelmewash Parkway.

The arts commission is going to apply for a $100,000 grant under the federal government’s Canada 150 program in an attempt to host the symposium next July.

If the grant application is successful, the symposium would likely be held in Woodsdale Park, where the Okanagan Rail Trail passes by.

The symposium will have a First Nations theme.

“I think there is a lot

Bejing, China artist Shangxi Zhu and his sculpture, Entrance to the Valley, created during the 2002 sculpture symposium held through B.C.’s southern interior. Lake Country is hoping to host its own sculpture event next year. that Lake Country should and can do in order to become more informed about our First Nations’ people,” said public arts commission chairperson Sharon McCoubrey.

“I feel this event will be one way in which we can honour our First Nations and profile them.

“The intent would be to have half of the commissioned artists to be First Nations’ artists.”

McCoubrey said the

arts commission has been thinking about hosting a sculpture symposium in Lake Country for some time.

Originally they had hoped to host it on Pelmewash Parkway but the old Highway 97 won’t be ready for Lake Country to use next year.

But with the development of the Okanagan Rail Trail and Pelmewash eventually combining to make a

loop around Wood Lake, the Woodsdale Park location would also be ideal for the sculptors and onlookers.

“As the trail around the lake gets developed over the next decade, it’s going to be such an amazing asset for Lake Country,” said McCoubrey.

“We would like to be able to add enhancements and points of interest so that it could be a very enriched walk

around the lake.

“So we see this (sculpture) event as the beginning or part of the trail development.”

In 2002, a valley-wide sculpture symposium was held all the way from Osoyoos to Kamloops.

It was a large event that went on for four months. In Lake Country three sculptors produced works: Chinese sculpture Shangxi Zhu created Entrance to the Valley while Toru Fujibayashi’s moulded Circle of Life.

Both marble creations are in Swalwell Park while a third, called Dancing Goose, stands in Beasley Park.

McCoubrey said the 2002 symposium had its problems but Lake Country’s part of the event went well.

She stressed that the 2017 planned event would be a much smaller and simpler symposium specific only to Lake Country.

The arts commission will be sending off the grant application soon with the hope of getting started on the event by the end of the year.

Canadian poet to give free reading Award-winning Canadian poet Jordan Scott is hosting a public reading next week as part of UBC Okanagan’s summer writing intensive program.

The event takes place Friday, 7:30 p.m., at the Alternator Gallery, located in the Rotary Centre for the Arts, 421 Cawston Ave. Scott is a visiting author with the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies and is taking part in the Bodies of Knowledge Summer Writing Intensive program chaired

by UBCO assistant professor, author and poet Matt Rader.

Nominated for the 2009 Dorothy Livesay Prize for Poetry, Scott is the current writer-in-residence at Simon Fraser University. His book titles include Silt, blert, DECOMP and Clearance Process, and his long poem Night & Ox will be published this fall.

This reading is free to the general public.

One-of-a-kind summer camp opportunity For parents who are looking for a summer camp option for their 12 to 18 year-olds this summer, a new option has presented itself.

Elevation Outdoors, a local charity that specializes in outdoor recreation programs, and the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs have teamed up to offer the “Intro to Adventure” Summer camp program.

These camps will run from the week of June 11through Aug. 15 and will provide campers with three days of activities — one day of sailing, one day of mountain biking, and one day of rock climbing.

The camp will include all of the required gear and instruction in what is intended to be an affordable way to introduce children to these outdoor sports.

Mike Greer, executive director of Elevation Outdoors, said: “With so many great outdoor opportunities at our doorstep we hope to be able to help introduce young people to a new passion for many years to

come.”

The camps are geared towards participants who have limited or no experience and will run on Monday/Wednesday/ Friday of each week, the one exception being the Aug. 1 long weekend when the Monday session will be shifted to Tuesday.

Greer said their partnership with the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs is a helpful step toward becoming a more sustainable organization.

“Their extensive experience with summer camps has allowed us to move forward with the Intro to Adventure

program much sooner than we ever anticipated,” Greer said.

All proceeds from “Intro to Adventure” go to Elevation Outdoors to support their existing programs offered during the school year for local at-risk youth and their families—at no cost.

For more information about the summer camps or to register, go online to http://www. boysandgirlsclubs.ca/ programs/summeradventure-camps or call 250-762-3914.

the model for economic reform and development.

As we are now well into 2016, I want to offer some detailed thought about what actually is presented to us by the power of entrepreneurial leadership in our society.

Wouldn’t you love to have a bag of dollars fall into your lap to launch your first entrepreneurial venture? Me too.

With a great analyzed idea and a phenomenal business plan, you probably feel entitled to receive the funding you’re requiring to move to that next step.

But reality sets in for most entrepreneurs, challenged to prove the merit of their entrepreneurial concept before investors will put up the bundle of cash to help finance it.

For years, I have heard the treatise that poor management is most frequently the reason businesses fail.

That may be the case, but let me also say coming in a close second is inadequate or ill-timed financing.

So when exploring your funding options, there are a few questions to think about: • Are your needs short or long-term?

• How quickly will you be able to repay a loan or return on someone’s

investment in your idea?

• Is the money you seek for operating or capital expenditures that may become assets, such as equipment or real estate?

• Do you need the money now or in smaller portions over a defined time period?

• Are you willing to assume all the risk if your company doesn’t succeed and do you understand related implications, or do you want someone to share the risk with you?

The answers to these questions will help you prioritize your funding options.

There are two types of financing available for your entrepreneurial venture launch.

Debt financing is where you borrow money and agree to pay it back in a predetermined timeframe at a set interest rate.

You owe the money whether your venture succeeds or not.

And there is equity financing where you sell partial ownership in your venture in exchange for cash.

Your investor/s then assume part of the investment risk with you—if the venture idea fails, they lose their money; if it succeeds, the investors typically make much greater return on their investment than prevailing interest rates.

Hence, this option is a far more expensive route to go.

So where to look for outside financial help options, consider these possibilities—friends and family, credit cards, bank loans, leasing, angel investors and private lending.

So put together a great business plan with a thorough analysis of your idea, talk to a financial adviser or entrepreneur coach and then just start asking.

Someone will eventually and hopefully, say, “Yes, I would like to invest in your idea.”

Also please note, our Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society/ Canada Youth Business Foundation Entrepreneurship Loan Program (ideal for young entrepreneurs between 18 and 34); Business Development Bank of Canada ; B.C. Women’s Enterprise Centre of B.C. (headquartered in Kelowna), and one of our society sponsors Scotiabank all have great small business lending programs as well.

Free training for translators and interpreters offered Translators and Interpreters throughout the Thompson-Okanagan and Kootenay regions are invited to take part in a free, all-day training session either July 9 in Kamloops or on July 16 in Kelowna.

The sessions will be led by John Tahberer, manager of member services for the Society of Translators and Interpreters of B.C., and are funded by the provincial government through the Refugee Readiness Fund.

The RRF was created to support the people and organizations working to settle Syrian refugees in communities throughout British Columbia.

Refugee Response Teams (RRTs) were established in five areas in the province, including the ones in the ThompsonOkanagan and Kootenay regions.

“Language support is critical for all of the refugee families as they settle in the region,“ said Katelin Mitchell, immigrant services manager for Kelowna Community Resources and team leader for the RRT-Thompson-Okanagan and Kootenays.

“The training will meet the immediate need of supporting the very welcoming community members that are helping as interpreters and translators today, and

build community capacity over the long term.”

Through the training, participants will increase their understanding of interpreting methods and approaches, identify the roles, responsibilities and ethical practices for interpreters and develop a system to facilitate translating official documents and learn to access and utilize available resources.

The sessions will be held 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Kamloops Immigrant Services in Kamloops and the Parkinson Activity Centre in Kelowna.

“Volunteer interpreters assist the families with meetings, medical visits and filling out forms as well as activities like grocery shopping,” added Mitchell.

“They are lifelines for the families, especially in the beginning.”

The training sessions are open to all volunteer and paid interpreters and translators, with priority being given to Arabic speakers. Maximum registration for each session is 50 people.

To register for the Kelowna session, contact Olivet in Kelowna via email olivet@kcra.ca or call 250-763-8008, ext 123; for Kamloops contact Shiro via e-mail finance@kcris.ca or call 778-4706101. ext 102.

Culture ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON

Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet taken outdoors

The Shakespeare Kelowna theatre group will present Romeo And Juliet, their fifth outdoor summer Shakespeare production at the Okanagan Villa Estate Winery’s open-air stage in the heart of East Kelowna’s wine country, 3240 Pooley Rd. Romeo And Juliet was written by William Shakespeare early in his career. It is the tale of two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families.

It was among Shakespeare’s most popular plays during his lifetime, and along with Hamlet one of his most frequently performed plays since.

This summer’s production is directed by long-time theatre instructor, producer and director Neal Facey.

In the cast, playing the part of Romeo is Matt Brown, who apart from his extensive acting and improv background has directed many plays, including Unnecessary Farce which is now in the Theatre BC Ozone Festival.

Sarah Goddard stars as Juliet while Janet Anderson plays the coveted role of the nurse.

Anderson works in theatre as an actor, producer and stage manager with several Okanagan companies.

Playing the role of Tybalt is Casey Easton, familiar to Kelowna audiences from his many roles with Kelowna Actors Studio productions.

This outdoor show

lasts about two hours with one 15-minute intermission. As it tends to cool off at night, be sure to bring warm clothes.

There is a five-minute walk from the car park to the venue, and golf cart transportation is made available for those unable to walk the distance. V Purchase tickets online at KelownaTickets.com, by phone at 250-8622867 or at the Kelowna Ticket box office in Orchard Park Mall.

The Kelowna Actors Studio’s production of the Disney classic Mary Poppins promises to be a stage spectacle for local theatre goers.

The musical is based both on the series of children’s books by P.L. Travers and the 1964 Disney film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.

“We are very excited to

be stretching our wings and taking a production of this magnitude into the Kelowna Community Theatre,”said KAS artistic director Randy Leslie.

“We have hired the professionals from New York City to join our team and fly both Mary and Bert during the production.”

Winner of 44 major theatre awards from around the globe, Mary Poppins is the story of George and Winifred who live at Number 17, Cherry Tree Lane with their misbehaved children, whose latest nanny has just quit with a fit.

Enter Mary Poppins, the “practically perfect” nanny who teaches with magic and bonds with the children as no other nanny has.

The KAS production will feature Dharma Bizier portraying Mary Poppins and Nathan Flavel as everyone’s favourite chimney sweep Bert.

Bizier was last seen at KAS in Catch Me If You Can—The Musical, Fiddler On The Roof, Fame and Footloose.

She currently attends Sheridan College in

Ontario, studying for her Bachelor of Music Theatre Performance Program and is also a member of the teaching staff at Kelowna Actors Studio this summer.

“Playing Mary Poppins for the KAS this summer is like coming home in more ways than one,” said Bizier. “I’m thrilled to be bringing Mary to life in my hometown.”

Flavel is also no stranger to the Kelowna Actors Studio stage having performed in The Wizard of Oz, Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Singin’ In the Rain and Little Shop of Horrors.

Flavel is the executive producer for Kelowna Actors Studio, a local commercial realtor with Re/Max Kelowna and current Tourism Kelowna board representative for arts and culture.

Jane and Michael Banks are played by Kate Hammer and Caden Hergott, while Anna Jacyszyn joins the cast as Mrs. Banks.

This is Jacyszyn’s first professional stage musical since 1994 when she played alongside Craig Fergusson (former host of The Late Late Show) in the rock musical Bad Boy Johnny And The Prophets of Doom.

After performing as a jazz singer in England, Europe and Asia, Jacyszyn returned to Kelowna and created the Jazz Café where she hosts and performs with top local musicians.

Other cast members will include Don Plant in the role of George Banks, and in the role of the Bird Lady will be Eva Cortens, a music teacher whol plans to assist with the KAS summer theatre camps.

It features the elastic vocals of Eden Oliver; catchy arrangements of bass, mandolin and accordion that draw from jazz, classical, folk and pop influences; and lyrics that offer unique takes on art and life.

The album was recorded at Fiddlehead Studios on Mayne Island—the sounds of tree frogs, ferry horns

It was produced by past Juno award nominee David Travers-Smith.

Adapted from: The Broken Chord My son forever traveled through a moonless night with only the roar of wind for company. You didn’t talk to him of mountains, of tropical beaches. You didn’t ask him to enjoy sunrises or marvel at the lter of light through leaves.

He never had time for such things, and did not believe in them. He may have passed by them close enough to touch on either side, but his hands were stretched forward, grasping for balance instead of pleasure.

He didn’t ask who he is or why. Questions were a luxury.

Gravity pressed Brian so hard against reality that he did not feel the points at which he touched it. A drowning man is not separated from the lust for air by a bridge of thought - he is one with it - and my son, conceived and grown in an ethanol bath, lived each day in an act of drowning. For him there was no shore.

news _____________________________________________________________________ OF PRIME INTEREST

Mortgage renewal is a time to assess your finances Plenty can change in someone’s life in a year, never mind over the course of a five-year mortgage.

A career change, kids, retirement or newfound money are the kind of events that can change your life, and impact on the type of mortgage that will be best suit your financial situation moving forward.

While many us would prefer avoiding such a task, doing an annual financial check-up is a smart thing to do.

We often just wait for a renewal letter before looking at our mortgage, and even then we are likely send the contract back without assessing if

it really meets our current needs or situation, in part because we often feel changing mortgage lenders or the mortgage terms is futile.

We tend to become complacent about our mortgage payments and we could be saving a lot of money with a change.

Mortgage interest rates are an obvious thing to pay attention to— the more adverse you become to risk, the less likely a variable mortgage will be right for you. If the rates are going up at renewal time, think about how a higher mortgage payment fits into your financial situation, or if you should switch from a variable

type of mortgage desired.

For example, topping up or refinancing an existing mortgage can pay for renovations, providing you’re comfortable with a blended interest rate or paying the penalty to secure a lower rate.

Maybe you just want to consolidate higher-interest unsecured debt into your mortgage. Rolling that into your mortgage can significantly save on interest costs and that will help you get out of debt sooner A mortgage can also help you become more tax efficient if you’re thinking of investing in a business, buying a rental property or putting

to fixed rate. And if mortgage rates are dropping, you might want to refinance or renew early.

Even though banks are in the business of generating as much interest payment income from you as possible, many will allow people to pay a lump sum of the principal on the mortgage’s anniversary and increase monthly payments.

An extra $100 a month on a standard $200,000 mortgage could save almost $18,000 in interest and shorten the amortization period by about four years.

Even something simple such as making renovations could affect the

some money into mutual funds or the stock market. That’s because the interest paid on money borrowed on a principal property can be written off against revenue from those investments.

Making changes to your mortgage before you go into a new venture or before you retire would allow you to qualify much easier rather than waiting for your mortgage to come up for renewal.

Economy DUNNENZIES PIZZA

Kelowna pizzeria expands to second location Straight From DeHart MAXINE DEHART This week’s column is dedicated to a long-time friend, Lynn Hamilton who passed away after a long battle with ALS on June 16 at the age of 64. Lynn ran a successful home cleaning business and loved animals, especially her Great Danes of which she had many throughout the years.

Personal condolences to husband Dave, children Kevin and Tabitha, her entire family and many friends.

DunnEnzies Pizza has opened a second location at 1886 Dayton St. (Landmark 6).

Owned and operated

by Deb Dunnigan and Karyn MacKenzie, the original DunnEnzies at 1559 Ellis St. in downtown Kelowna just celebrated its sixth anniversary on July 1. The new larger location still offers all their delicious specialty traditional and infamous pizzas. It will add white pizzas, pressed Italian sandwiches, calzones, design your own salads, daily combo specials and grab and go.

The restaurant now offers eat-in and take-out with community tables to seat 16 and 12 eat-up bar stools along with a large patio and bright red patio tables. Open Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 3 to 9 p.m. with delivery service. Call 236-4203062.

Effective Sept. 5, Natasha Girard is the new executive director of the Central Okanagan Hospice Association.

Currently the director of Hospice Kingston for more than10 years, Giard has focused during her time there on organizational growth and sustainability and led initiatives including

In the interim call Nica Garziotto at 250-763-5511at the COHA office here in Kelowna. Marion Henselwood is the president of COHA. Total E’Clips Salon and Spa, which opened six years ago in the Spall Centre location, has been sold. The salon was owned and operated by Linda Russell, who has since retired, and Kathie Jones. The new owners are Garry Chalmers and Asmaa Barkouta. They will retain the business name Total E’Clips Salon and Spa for the short term with an eye to changing it later this year. The shop is located at 107-3957 Lakeshore Rd. in Kelowna. There will be some positive changes over the next few months taking place at that location, including completing some planned renovations. Call 250764-8117; online totaleclips.com.

Produced in Mandello del Lario, Italy, since 1921, Moto Guzzi is the oldest Italian manufacturer of motorcycles.

Kudos to equipment operator Richard Jomphe, who was selected as one of the city fo Kelowna’s BEST Award recipients in March.

Jomphe removed the broken starter and rebuilt it in the shop out of three old ones. His creativity and

ingenuity also saved the city more than $120,000 in replacement parts when he created and implemented a successful in-house modification for four front end loaders.

If you like the looks of Blue and have the ideal home, then please come down and meet her. She can hardly wait to fill all your wants and needs and enrich your life.

Charlie was left outside the shelter with a note on his carrier, so we know very little about his background. He would suit an indoor/outdoor home preferably on a farm or acreage and without any resident cats. He is shy and unsure of things at the moment but also full of love and just needs someone he can trust. Once relaxed he will climb on your lap and rub against you to show that he cares. Come down and say hi and spend a little time getting to know him.

Gracie was surrendered to the shelter, because she needed a calm, low stress household. She is seeking a family that wants to bond with their cat and spend many hours interacting. She will need a home with NO children and NO cats, as that is the environment that she is used to. Please come and introduce yourself if you would like to add a well behaved sweetie to your home.

Hailey is a very sweet cat with a wonderful disposition. She would love a home with a quiet environment, as she gets somewhat timid with lots of commotion. She loves interaction and to be groomed, and finding a family to be content with is her main goal in life. If Hailey sounds like the perfect fit for your home then ask the staff to set up a one on one meet and greet with her.

IZZIBELLA ID#407351

Bella was surrendered by the family she has known since birth due to health issues with the new baby. She is quite stressed and confused right now, but is also gentle and enjoys lots of cuddles.

Her temperament is to be reliable, devoted, reserved, protective, loyal and above all loving. She is also very powerful, so if you feel that you have the means to be her new guardian and give her the love she deserves, come down and meet her.

A quiet home with a calm adult family would be ideal. She becomes very anxious around children, so an ADULT ONLY environment is what she needs.
