Three Great

Winery Restaurants by Bobbi-Sue Menard, CONTRIBUTOR

t is always fun to take family and friends who are visiting the Okanagan for the first time out to sample some of the fabulous food and wine produced in the valley. Below are three winery restaurants that offer a great experience. Two have made recent investments into their buildings and the third is returning again for their summer season. Grapevine Restaurant at Gray Monk Grapevine Restaurant at Gray Monk Winery in Lake Country has remained in the same building overlooking the northern reaches of Okanagan Lake. It is the brand new four storey winery tucked into the hillside behind it that catches the eye first. The architecture is beautiful, and as you make your way to the restaurant through the winery, on a ride in a glassed in elevator with spectacular views of the lake, you get glimpses of various aspects of the winery’s working life. Upstairs in the winery the bright and airy tasting room and gift shop draw the eye. In the lower levels of the winery you see the state of the art quality control and testing labs before heading out to the courtyard and into the restaurant. Grapevine has retained their famous patio, with fabulous views. At the height of the summer season, reservations are needed to get the front line tables on the deck. “At lunch time it is always better to have a reservation,” says Co-owner and Chef Willi Franz. “At dinner, especially in the height of summer we are at about ninety-five percent reservation.” The menu was recently reengineered to showcase local products, by midsummer up to 80 percent of the menu will use local produce, including heirloom lettuces and tomatoes. While Grapevine is not purely organic, every effort is made to use foods raised without antibiotics and in free range circumstances. Franz has also devised a menu that is flour free, except for the pastries. A different feature is served each day, often the decision is made after Franz has completed early morning pick-ups of supplies from valley producers, “The colours and flavours are simply so much better.”>>

Cedar Creek The Terrace Restaurant at Cedar Creek winery is opening again for the season in June. The lunch menu will be served until mid September from 11:30 am to 4 pm. The menu draws visitors down Lakeshore Road like moths to a flame. Chef Judith Knight draws on local resources to create a delicious lunch menu, with many returning favourites. This year The Terrace will be hosting a Friday night dinner series in July and August. Cedar Creek Winery is also hosting a summer event series on three separate evenings. Performers Chantal Kreviazuk, Vonda Shepard, and Jessie Farrell will all have an evening concert overlooking the lake. Old Vines Restaurant at Quail’s Gate Quail’s Gate winery completed their $8 million facility investment and expansion in 2008. The project was aimed at luring the culinary tourist to the Okanagan.

dedication and passion that comes from a business looking to provide exceptional service. Tony Stewart, proprietor of Quail’s Gate has worked with his team to build an experience where you can choose to gain some insight into food and wine, “A lot of people are looking to be educated while they sample food and wine. Typically our customer doesn’t like to be rushed, and they enjoy some exposure to the process.” The menu is supported by a large kitchen garden, where Old Vines is experimenting with producing quality ingredients. “Our goal is to set an example of what a restaurant can do,” explains Stewart. Tomatoes, herbs, pepper, corn, and more are grown organically in raised beds under careful cultivation and supervision. “We are looking at what does well and learning the quantities of what we as a restaurant need. Ultimately we would prefer to use agriculture grown locally and be able to buy from local producers at a fair price.” Old Vines recently received the ‘Green Table’ designation, recognizing benchmarks the restaurant and winery have achieved in sustainability. 

The concert event of the summer! The date has already been circled – Elton John will perform with his band at Prospera Place on Saturday, July 17, at 8 p.m. Tickets went on sale for John’s second appearance in Kelowna—he performed at Prospera without his band in August of 2002 —and the concert was sold out in 45 minutes. It was a tribute to the drawing power of the rock ’n’ roll music icon, whose career spans some three different generations dating back to the 1960s. Sir Elton will be making tour stops in Prince George, Sault Ste. Marie, Hamilton and Kingston during the month of July for the Canada swing of his 2010 worldwide tour. In his four-decade career, John has sold more than 250 million records, making him one of the most successful artists of all time. His single “Candle in the Wind 1997” has sold over 37 million copies, becoming the best selling single of all time. He has more than 50 Top 40 hits, including seven consecutive No. 1 U.S. albums, 56 Top 40 singles, 16 Top 10, four No. 2 hits, and nine No. 1 hits. He has won five Grammy awards, an Academy Award,

a Golden Globe Award and a Tony Award. Nigel Olsson, the drummer for Elton’s current band, said in a recent interview that fans should expect a long show as Elton includes many of his hits from his extensive musical catalogue. Olsson admits that he’s still amazed that Elton can still sell out major concert venues as “we’ve been at it for quite a while now. “I’ve been with the band since 1969 and to see that we’re still selling out — it amazes me,” Olsson said. He continued, “The audience is made up of granddads like me and young kids and it’s just amazing that we can still put smiles on people’s faces especially with the times we’re going through and the depressing things that are happening, we can get up there and hopefully have them give up their troubles and hopefully have some fun.” 

ne of the frequently asked questions I get is “When is it time to plant a garden?” The answer to this question can sound a bit facetious however I’m serious when I say you can plant a garden whenever you feel like it. Practically every month of the year has gardening activities save perhaps the winter months of November to February but there is no question the month of May is the paramount time for a whole lot of them. I’ve been handing out start times for three months now beginning in mid-February when it was already warm enough to plant peas and in early March I suggested some radishes, lettuce and spinach could be planted. For those of you who waited until now to plant those things you can still do it but your early bird neighbour will have salad on the table from the garden when you are just getting started. Before I talk about what you can plant at this glorious time of the gardening year I should give out a bit of advice on preparing the soil for a successful season. There are two basic ways to garden. There is the traditional in ground garden plot and there is the container garden method which includes to some degree raised garden beds. The soil used in an inground garden plot is not the same as in a raised garden and for sure it cannot be used in container gardening. When growing vegetables, and for that matter any plants, in containers a special blend of materials such as peat moss and or compost and sand must be used to enable the root system of the plant to breathe. It needs to hold moisture while at the same time provide air pockets; regular garden dirt will not do this. It is best to replace the top six inches each season with fresh

medium and some gardeners prefer to replace the entire lot. The old container soil makes an ideal amendment for the flower bed. To prepare the traditional garden plot I prefer spading and turning the soil rather than rototilling however if you do choose to rototill keep it to only once a season either in the fall or spring. Roto-tilling the ground too much will break down the soil peds which are the lumps that create the air spaces enabling the roots to breathe. Turning in some compost before you plant is also a good thing to do however I like to do this in the fall so it has all winter to settle in. So now that you have your soil prepared it is time to plant. If this is your first garden then I suggest you take it easy this go round and plant small amounts of several things. Some you will plant from seed such as carrots, radishes, beets, peas, beans, and corn. Some of you may do either such as lettuce, chard and late cabbage. Unless you start early with seeding on the kitchen windowsill or even better in a

greenhouse if you are so fortunate; tomatoes, peppers, egg plant and early cabbage and cauliflower are easiest with plants purchased from the garden centre. Planting a vegetable garden is just as pleasurable as harvesting the produce from it and we are so fortunate to be living in a climate the enables us to do this easily. Happy gardening!  Don Burnett is the gardening columnist for the Capital News.

Film Festival. Independent music videos are a part of the KIFF and this year Festivals Kelowna and Parks Alive! organizers are seeking to match videos in the KIFF competition with their creators and bring the live acts to the stage in Kelowna. “We are moving to create multimedia experiences for people,” explains Festivals Kelowna Executive Director, Renata Mills. The French Cultural Centre is again teaming up with Parks Alive! to bring in a popular Quebecois performer on August 6th. “The centre brings in amazing performers from Quebec who just wow the audiences,” says Mills. “It is amazing to watch the audience who don’t understand the words but are loving the music anyways.” In another partnership, Parks Alive! is working with the Okanagan Pride Festival to bring in performers to their main stage. The Pride Festival will be August 13 and 14 this year and Mills is hoping to see a big day in City Park. The 13 and 14 of August is also an Indie rock band weekend in support of Blood Services. Mills is expecting a mix of local and regional artists to come out and raise awareness of the importance of giving blood, especially in the summer when supplies often run dangerously low. By the end of the summer almost 200 hundred performers will take to the stage five days a week for nine weeks. The schedule for Parks Alive!, the Canada festivities, the buskers programs and the Arts Alive! programs can be checked at the Festivals Kelowna website www.festivalskelowna.com 

Inspiration for

summer cooking cabana Bar and Grille chef and co-owner Ned Bell, holding the Chicken Club sandwich served with yam fries.

The Impreza.

So many standard features, other small cars aren’t even an option.

The fun-loving Impreza is in a class all by itself. It’s a small car that has our full-time Symmetrical AWD, standard of course. And a powerful 170HP 2.5L BOXER engine. Did we mention its award for the highest predicted resale value in its class� and that it’s also a Top Safety� Pick?

to creating a great summer sandwich. “The focus is on a spectacular bun,” says Bell. The multi-grain milk bun at cabana is made fresh in house. At cabana, the rotisserie chicken is something special. Bell believes it is the best in Kelowna and the Chicken Club plays to cabana’s specialties. It is the principle of cooking what you are best at and then adding in flourishes that is the key to great summer dining, says Bell.

to go local and the perfect time to try something new. Special B.C. local menu options are on an ever changing feature sheet at cabana Bar and Grille and will bring out the adventurous side of eating. Bell will be introducing seasonal favourites like spot prawns into the mix. “Local doesn’t mean just in the Okanagan Valley. You can look to Vancouver Island and other areas of B.C.,” says Bell. This summer, Bell will be looking to Osoyoos, Cawston and the Similkameen for a wide variety of organic fruits and vegetables to put on the menu. “Look for artisan options from throughout the valley; there are fantastic things grown right here. The farmers’ market is a great place to start.” 

Are you inspired by the gourmet chefs on television and the exotic recipes featured in the ever-growing number of cooking magazines? Do you consider yourself a skilled cook, yet you continue to serve rubbery hotdogs and greasy potato chips at summer picnics? For your next al fresco get-together, why not consider whipping up a couple of gourmet dishes that will certainly please your guests. No, you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen. Rather the recipes below are simple, easy to prepare, and a welcome change from the calorie laden, boring fare that is usually found on a picnic table.

Sweet Potato Salad

An interesting twist on the picnic classic, potato salad. It can be made up to two hours ahead of time. Serves 6. 2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 4 teaspoons red wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 4 green onions, sliced Peel potatoes and halve. Cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch wedges, then cut wedges crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Steam potatoes in a steamer over rapidly boiling water in a large covered pot. Cook until potato pieces are just tender (about 10 minutes). While potatoes are cooking, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and salt in a large bowl. Add oil slowly and whisk until thickened. Add hot sweet potatoes to dressing and gently toss to combine. Cool salad to room temperature and add green onions and additional salt to taste.

by design, our approach is different

“Start with what you want to eat and start with what you do well.” If that principle means you feed your guests an amazing rib eye steak, salmon filet or fabulous BBQ chicken, then that is where you should start when considering what to eat this summer, he says. Bell isn’t shy about advocating the food you eat should be the food you love. “Eating food you love is a conscious choice that not enough people make. Really enjoying your food is important.” Bell makes the cabana Chicken Club special with a cranberry almond pesto, brie and artisan lettuce. It is a mouthwatering combination that is all about flavour. “This is easily our most popular sandwich.” Summer is the time

Spring & Summer Living Edition 2010 | YOUR STYLE 15

by Landon Bradshaw, Contributor

ne of the fun activities that everyone can enjoy during the warmer seasons of Kelowna is cycling. Knowing where to go is an important part of that. A short but very scenic ride can be found by starting at the bottom of Scenic Viewpoint parking lot. This might be a bit tough for some but there’s no hurry and you should just take your time. Don’t worry, you won’t be going all the way to the top. When you get to the first parking lot you’ll see signs directing the way to Paul’s Tomb. The road to the parking lot is paved but once you start on the way to Paul’s Tomb it will be packed gravel. It will take about 2 kms to get to the end of the trail and you’ll be riding along the side of Knox Mountain above the lake,

Happy Trails beautiful vistas will be yours for the picture taking and it will be fairly flat all the way along. For a serious workout you can skip the path to Paul’s Tomb and go all the way to the top of Knox Mountain. For those with more legs to stretch, they can head to Layer Cake Mountain starting from Mission Creek Park. From the Environment Education Centre

at Mission Creek Regional Park, you can bike across the creek and out the back of the park to Hall Road. Following a route that takes you from Hall to Johnson, to O’Reilly and then finally to Bewlay Roads, you will come out onto East Kelowna Road. Taking a right on East Kelowna Road, follow it to McCulloch Road, where turning left will start taking you through some of the vineyards and orchards that make Kelowna well known for its healthy diet and succulent wines. The road will wind around quite a bit, so pay attention to the street signs to continue on the correct route. After about 8.5 km, you should find Field Road on the left, the final turn that will take you out to the Scenic Canyon Regional Park. Here you’ll find Layer Cake

Mountain, which is a very unique landmark created by a geological movement millions of years ago, something not to miss. The whole trip will be about 20 km and may take about an hour each way for the recreational cyclist. Another good ride is through South and/or East Kelowna. Follow Carsorso to Bedford then turn left on Saucier. Follow to South Kelowna school and turn left on Spiers following to June Springs and turn left. Take a left at McCulloch and go to the intersection with Rose. You can follow McCulloch down the hill to KLO or go straight at the stop sign, turn right at Pooley, left at Reid and left at East Kelowna Road. Follow East Kelowna Road back to McCulloch. Carrying on down KLO will take you back into town. For those not so adventurous there are some nice rides starting from downtown going along the lake then under the bridge and along the Abbott Street multiuse trail. Currently, the trail is under construction to extend it from Royal Road down to Gyro Beach. Whatever your level of cycling there are many opportunities to ride safe in Kelowna, remember your helmet!  Landon Bradshaw is the vice-chairman of the Kelowna Area Cycling Coalition.

Summer Style Trends

by Jan Johnson, Contributor

he joys of summer: the smell of freshly cut grass, the soft breezes, the cool blue lake on a sizzling day...and the wonderful, lightweight fashions that we finally get to wear again! This summer, we’re in for a crop of great looks. The ruffle trend of last year is still influencing styles, although in a more subdued way; witness the saucy little dresses with tiers of mini ruffles and the ruffled trim on everything from blouses to shoes and purses.

Lori Burns and Jan Johnson of Tigerlily Fashions hold up an outfit that’s hot for summer - a chiffon tiered top in a bright abstract print, layered over white leggings.

One of the newest items to have this year is the “flyaway vest”. Longer, light and draped in folds down the front which are really just vertical ruffles, it’s very feminine and a great way to pull together a look. The layered look has taken off in a big way, probably because of its ability to hide figure flaws. That’s led to the popularity of “jeggings” (a cross between a jean and a legging). In our intense Okanagan summer heat, lighter-weight leggings might work better. Over top, you can layer a pretty tank top and flyaway vest and even a sheer scarf. If you’re into a more simple form of layering, you can just wear a longer chiffon tunic top over leggings...very easy and pretty. Crop pants and capris are still a great option if you have to dress up a little for work. Shorts are starting to make a comeback, so you’ll be seeing more of them in stores than you did last summer. Dresses are always huge for the warm weather, and this year is no different. You’ll see lots of gathers

and twists at necklines and waists, which can artfully create the illusion of a slimmer waist or hips. You’ll be seeing lots of dresses in brightly-coloured floral prints, or the alternative of black and white graphic or floral prints. The colours of the season are corals, fucshias, turquoises and almost any shade of green. The newest neutral to play these against is a pale shade of grey to taupe, which makes the colours really pop. Accessories are fairly simple: it’s all about one big accent piece. Find a gorgeous bracelet for your bare arms, or drape a long necklace around your neck. You can also wrap on a light, sheer scarf in a print that ties everything together. The newest scarf on the scene is the “infinity scarf.” Finally, you can’t go wrong with a pair of pretty jewelled sandals!  Jan Johnson is the co-owner of Tigerlily Fashions in Kelowna and a regular contributor to the Capital News.

hether your backyard is desolate or disorganized you need to start with a plan to create the outdoor living space of your dreams. Installing a permanent cooking island, picking the right trees, or creating a fabulous seating area are all elements that should be considered before you put money into a project. David James, of Site 360 Consulting in Kelowna, specializes in helping clients plan and design the outdoor space that not only meets their needs, but delivers great experiences in a space designed for living. “The first things you need to do are get a plan and a budget,” says James. “You can hire someone to do the plan or you can do it yourself, but a plan makes all the difference.” The first element of planning is to look at the spatial relationships between different elements in the outdoor space. Do an analysis of the space from special views you want to keep (the lake) to views you want to hide (your neighbour’s ugly fence). Then map out where you want various elements to be placed. To maximize the flow between indoor and outdoor living remember how the interior of your home lines up with the exterior. Place high traffic areas outdoors near high traffic indoor areas. The easy example is to keep the outdoor table near the indoor kitchen, the less obvious idea is to keep the hot tub away from bedroom windows.

“Make a list of the outdoor activities that you already do,” says James. “Then look at the priorities those activities have in your yard.” James explains that once you have a plan you should keep some basic ideas in mind when it comes to choosing the details. “There is a difference between living space and curb appeal. Identify what your uses are and look for balance. Create a personable space and think in terms of what is achievable.” Look also to your lifestyle in terms of how much time you want to spend on mundane maintenance tasks. “If you are going to introduce plants and garden, you will either spend money or time on the garden.” Budget takes on a large role once the elemental details are ironed out. Finishing materials can have huge differences in costs. “The plan will help you determine quantities, which is important to make certain you have enough,” says James. “But the plan will also help you make decisions in your budget and make cost control decisions.”

James recommends going to suppliers to talk about material costs. Talk to friends for installer recommendations or even ask at suppliers who they would recommend for installation help. The finishing touches are accessories, as James says everything from large scale flower pots to interesting outdoor lighting are some of the most neglected items in designing an outdoor space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a successful space without accessories. Pick a style that is comfortable for you, and invest in good quality. Quality will stand the tests of time.â&#x20AC;? ď ś

he great Canadian wilderness is more accessible than you think. It is not all about thousands of dollars worth of gear, or owning an expensive cabin on a lake. Hopping in your car and going to a provincial park or forest service site can be easier than you think. All it takes is a few basics and a great attitude. Sleeping comfort is the main thing you should consider, says Kevin Fukushima of Valhalla Pure Outfitters.

To do that, you should look at one investment piece of camping equipment, an insulated air mattress. Insulated air mattresses are light years of technology ahead of foam pads, or even self inflatable mattresses. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multi-chambered mattress is either filled with down, synthetic insulators or a mix of both. It rolls into a compact shape, smaller than a tackle box. Roll it out, watch it inflate, and lay the mattress out on the rocks if need be. The tough, breathable cover wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break, and the two to three inch deep mattress remains comfortable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is more about the mattress than the bag,â&#x20AC;? says Fukushima. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring the blankets off your bed. There is enough insulation in the new mattresses that your body doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to work to heat empty air,

New Clients receive an additional

and you are high enough off the ground, you stay warm and dry.â&#x20AC;? Fukushima sells gear to dedicated wilderness buffs every day. He also works with people who just want to get away for a weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be hard core. Just get going. When you car camp, find a place you can take gear from your home. You can take the frying pan from your kitchen, just go camp.â&#x20AC;? Valhalla Pure Outfitters carries fabulous high tech tents for back country hiking, usually for single or double occupancy. While those tents serve a valid purpose, Fukushima recommends the family tenter look for waterproof space that fits their budget. If you are looking for a new adventure, Valhalla Pure Outfitters rents canoes and kayaks by the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canoe camping is the back country car camping of the lakes,â&#x20AC;? says Fukushima. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can really bring a lot of gear in a canoe, and find some great places to take it.â&#x20AC;? The last recommendation for great weekend camping from Fukushima is to consider everything within two to three hours drive in any direction, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be inspired by the amazing province we live in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look all around us, this is one of the greatest places on earth to explore, just get going and have fun.â&#x20AC;? ď ś

ur stunning Okanagan Valley has fast become one of the world’s best places to be. We are not only beautiful, we are rich in local bounty allowing chefs a plethora of local ingredients to play with and an opportunity to work directly with the farmers, artisans and producers. Just outside of Kelowna you will find a secret hideaway that draws locals and visitors by its welcome atmosphere and great home cooked Italian food. Ricardo’s Mediterranean Kitchen may seem a tad off the beaten path — but it is worth it. With a Tuscan style room, summer patio and fabulous local jazz songstress Anna Jacyszyn serenading on special nights — your dinner out will soon feel like a special occasion. www.ricardos.ca In Kelowna, Chef Rod Butters and long time business partner Audrey Surrao have opened up a place that offers not only Chef Butters’ extraordinary cuisine but also a casual, cozy ambiance. The long communal table is super fun to sit at as is hanging out at the bar watching mixologists like Gerry concoct delicious cocktails. The duo’s idea to line the walls with the faces of their local suppliers is inspiring. Paying tribute to the likes of Monika (their baker), Ofri (their goat cheese artisan) and John (their fishmonger), – to name a few – they truly express their dedication to providing the freshest local food to your table by working closely with their community. www.raudz.com The Rotten Grape Wine & Tapas Bar is located on Bernard Avenue just across from The Sails. Guests instantly fall in love with the cool urban interior — with awesome art, stone walls and of course a killer wine list, the “regulars” list is long and loyal. Chef Tasha Howe does amazing things in that small kitchen and her business partner Rita Myers constantly wows by offering up a list with hard to find wines. These ladies operate with a conscience as well making the most environmentally friendly choices in every possible way. Be sure to attend one of their Winemaker Wednesdays — $12 gets you a flight of the featured wines, bites to pair and a face to face chat with the winemaker who mingles with guests all evening. www.rottengrape.com Waterfront Wines is a very special nook in downtown’s Kelowna’s North End. Chef Mark Filatow is also a rock star when it comes to being green and using local, organic cuisine — some even coming from his own garden at home.

The wine list is incredible as is the man who you may find behind the bar. Manager and partner Blake Lawrie’s exceptional oenophilic knowledge will land you the perfect glass or bottle to pair with your mouthwatering meal every time. Their catering arm, Details, is also an option if you want to have them do your summer dinner party for you. www.waterfrontrestaurant.ca For waterfront dining, Kelowna offers two dynamic restaurants both now boasting five star chefs at the helm.The Wild Apple Grill in the Manteo Waterfront Resort has been a local foodie hangout since Chef Bernard Casavant joined them. Chef Bernard is famous for his locally sourced high quality dishes. Pair that with a great wine list and a ringside seat on Lake Okanagan and you are getting the best of what we have to offer here. www.manteo.com. The landmark Eldorado Hotel’s culinary CV recently skyrocketed with the addition of Celebrity Chef Michael Lyon. Chef Lyon, who will also be bringing the food world to us through his new show on the Food Network called “Chef Off ”, has performed a brilliant makeover to the menu. The Eldorado’s quaint rooms and bustling dockside tables are always a great place to while away a sunny afternoon. www.hoteleldoradokelowna.com Go to the Kelowna Farmer’s Market on a Wednesday or Saturday for breakfast or lunch. You will be shocked to find one of our hottest chefs there — working out of a truck! Chef Neil Schroeter’s Okanagan Street Food is as gourmet as you get. His breakfast wraps are addictive with farm fresh scrambled eggs, house smoked bacon, goat cheese and salsa wrapped in a handmade tortilla – yayum!

Lunch offers up stuff like Paris worthy frites served with truffle mayo and/or blackberry ketchup or delicious fish tacos. He caters too! www.okanaganstreetfood.com Find your perfect picnic fare at Hooked on Seafood. Nothing is better than buying your fish from a couple who worked on the boats for their whole lives! Barb and Wayne know fresh fish—and also make the best darn fish and chips your taste buds are going to meet. Eat in or take away – this is one gourmet fish counter. 951 Harvey Ave. (250) 860-2541. Whether you are a visitor to the Okanagan or a local, make time to explore our food and wine region—it will make you realize there is no better place to be.  Jennifer Schell is a food and wine columnist for the Capital News.

Best foot FORWARD

by BOBBI-SUE MENARD, contributor

he bare feet of summer deserve good foot care. A pedicure delivers more than just a pretty polish. A trained professional can spot budding health issues including

nail infections, and deliver a welcome dose of relaxation to your busy summer schedule. Patty Onsorge, owner of O Spa, sees clients looking for rejuvenation all the time. Her spa also welcomes clients who have ignored their feet for decades and are now showing signs of wear and tear. “We see people who have lived without proper foot care and they have problems with fitness, with basic walking, and with circulation. Often the problems have built up over the years and people may not even be aware of how severe the problem is.” A trained esthetician is able to recognize both mechanical problems, also telling clients about nail infections and fungus and recommending they seek medical help. “Often clients think a yellowing nail is just something

Floors of Gear for the outdoors

Your esthetician is important too, her skill creates your experience. Robyn, at O Spa, delivers a fantastic pedicure with great polish suggestions. Beyond health and prevention, there are good reasons to get a pedicure this summer. One is to escape the everyday hustle, and slow down the speed of today’s lifestyle. The simple luxury of warm water, good skin products and expert massage is worthwhile. Aesthetics can’t be discounted. Not only do healthy feet look fabulous in sandals, but the fresh pinks, corals and metallics for summer are pretty and pleasing to the eye. Consider getting a pedicure with friends, as an office event or even with your spouse. “You can come in and experience some relaxation together. It is a fun thing to do.” Having pretty feet is more than polish, it is a foundation for your overall health. 

that happens with age, when in reality it should be medically treated. People can lose their nail if they really ignore their problems.” A regular pedicure can go a long way to maintaining healthy feet. The water softens calluses, and begins the process of removing hard, dead skin that has built up over months or years. “If you haven’t had a pedicure in five years, we cannot reduce that much callous all at once,” explains Onsorge. “If you haven’t done regular foot care it can take two to three treatments to achieve what you are looking to have happen. “In Europe, where people take good regular care of their feet, they view foot care as a normal part of life.” Make certain the spa you visit is obsessive about cleanliness and sterilization, says Onsorge. O Spa uses hospital grade cleansers on all surfaces and equipment. Single use tools are used when possible for each client.

Make-up to

Beat the Heat

ooking for that healthy summer glow with a little bit of polish? Start with spray bronzer. It is a low maintenance option instead of liquid foundation and allows you to head out with a light make-up look. “Spray bronzer has nice blendability,” says Mel, Cream Hair and Make-Up Lounge pro. Add in a waterproof mascara to beat the heat. Cream to powder eyeshadow is available in easy to apply formulations that are goof -proof, and your summer make-up routine is set.

“Keep your eyes minimal with a sheer eyeshadow,” recommends Mel. “Cream eye shadow has flexibility and staying power.” The big trend this summer is to finish your look with a pop of bright lipstick. Put away your lip gloss and go for the dense, colour rich joys of a strong fuschia red or deep pink. A little bit of make-up is worth it in the summer to unleash your beauty. It can be a quick and simple process. “A great quick summer make-up tip is to use your lipstick on your cheeks as a quick blusher,” says Mel. Don’t forget your hair, in the summer the sun’s UV rays can damage your strands, buy product with UV built right in. “That shine and moisture in healthy hair needs to be protected,” explains Mel. “Look for a leave in moisturizer to help your hair stay looking great, even on the lake.” 

Centre of Gravity organizer Scott Emslie is expecting about 8,000 people per day at Centre of Gravity, ranging from children to older adults. The event is family friendly, the interactive kid zone is a place where children can have some fun before taking in a volleyball match, or watching FMX. “We’ve made a conscious choice to make this a family friendly atmosphere,” says Emslie. “We have worked hard to make the venues accessible, and keep everything running smoothly all day long.” The schedule begins at 10 a.m. each day, the concert series kicks off around the supper hour . Wristbands create the opportunity for event attendees to choose how they want to spend their day. “I really can’t emphasize enough how we have worked to make sure this is a community friendly event where everyone is welcome,” says Emslie. “This is a great opportunity to enjoy some of the newest sports, music and entertainment in one great weekend.” 

The Central Okanagan Sailing Association has programs for every learning sailor and with a brand new fleet of boats to learn in, this is the summer to let the wind take you across the lake. COSA teaches 2500 people a year to sail, 200 of those are in adult specific classes. “We do get all ages of adults,” says Devin Rubadeau, Sailing Director of COSA. “From people in their teens to their nineties.” The average age of adults learning to sail is between 35 and 60 says Rubadeau.

While the classes are filled with predominantly female students, the common theme is people looking to get some time back for themselves. A surprising number of people learning to sail are given lessons as gifts by a spouse or close friend. “People

Don’t let mosquitoes spoil summer fun By Dr. David Butler-Jones MD

here is nothing better than the “lazy days of summer”! Whether you plan to travel or partake in a “staycation”, you will likely spend time outside, enjoying the warm, sunny weather. By taking simple precautionary measures, you can help ensure a healthy summer for you and your family.

Protect yourself from insect bites! As we spend more time outside, we increase our chances of insect bites, which can bring the risk of such serious illnesses as West Nile virus. West Nile virus is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito and while there is a minimal chance of being infected and even less chance of becoming ill once infected, anyone exposed to mosquitoes in an area where West Nile virus is active is at risk. Some basic planning will ensure that you limit your risk for mosquito bites:

GET a GRIP!

• Wear protective clothing such as a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and a hat (light colours are best); • Apply insect repellent containing DEET to any exposed skin, avoiding your mouth and eyes. When using sunscreen and insect repellent, apply the sunscreen first; • Eliminate possible mosquito breeding grounds by regularly draining standing water from such items as pool covers, recycle bins, bird baths and pet bowls; and • Inspect all door and window screens for holes and make sure they fit tightly. For more information, visit the Public Health Agency of Canada’s website at www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/.  Dr. David Butler-Jones is Canada’s first Chief Public Health Officer and is head of the Public Health Agency of Canada.

f you are looking for a different option to hydrate dry summer skin, Kelowna has a new local choice, Bee Basics. This line of skin care products includes lip balms, serums, and lotions derived from honey products produced at Arlo’s Honey Farm in Southeast Kelowna. Helen Kennedy, owner of Arlo’s Honey Farm, has spent the last two and a half years developing the products in conjunction with the chemists at Nature’s Formula. “I started at my kitchen table working with honey and products from my honey bees. Now I finally have skin care products.” Arlo’s Honey Farm is on 14 acres. Kennedy actively gardens about three and a half acres to create a steady supply of pollens for her bees for the longest possible season. Bee Basics are additive free. With no synthetic fragrances, colours, urea, sulphates, formaldehyde, or petrochemicals, Bee Basics meets the needs of most allergy sufferers, and those with sensitive skin. Kennedy deals only with natural ingredients and does extensive testing on each batch of lotion and serum. “When you are dealing with nature the chemical composition can vary. “So often you will find the difference in moisture content has

It is what you need to do when you don’t use industrial chemicals.” Kennedy sells Arlo’s Honey at the Kelowna Farmers’ Market, but she has decided to also work with retailers and sell online for Bee Basics. The pretty packaging for the skin care won’t stand up to the rigors of the outdoor stalls at the Farmers’ Market and Kennedy has her eyes on full retail marketing. Her online shopping has already attracted interest from Western provinces. Locally you can find Bee Basics at Mission Park Naturals in the Mission Park Shopping Centre, where the Bee Basics is

New agritourism destinations to enjoy by Bobbi-Sue Menard, Contributor

his summer Kelowna has a mix of new wineries, and agricultural tourism destinations to explore, especially in Southeast Kelowna. Tantalus Vineyards, The Lavender Farm and Arlo’s Honey Farm are all within a 4 km. radius and all have made substantial investments in new facilities. Enjoy on your own or with out-of-town guests. Arlo’s Honey Farm is open for tours for the first time this year. Helen Kennedy has been bringing her popular honey to the Kelowna Farmer’s Market for years. She has decided to open her facility (by appointment) up to the public so they can see how hives operate, learn about the lifecycle of bees and become

a little more connected to the process. “The best time to come is in the morning,” says Kennedy. “It won’t be too hot for a walk around the farm and you will be able to see the bees at work from a screened-in gazebo.” Kennedy has launched a range of skin care products derived from Arlo’s Honey. Working with nearby Tantalus Winery, those products are being used in the public facilities of Tantalus’ new premises. The brand new building was built so the organic winery could grow into the facility, says winemaker David Paterson. “This building is up for LEED certification, we believe it is the first in B.C. to do so.” In 2005 Tantalus planted ‘a lot’ of new grapes, says Paterson, and this building was necessary

to accommodate that growth. The new facility will be home to tastings from noon until 5 pm and the wine making. To finish out a day in Southeast Kelowna, head to The Lavender Farm on Takla Road. The McFaddens have a brand new building set for completion in July which will bring together their facilities under one roof. The decision was made to expand the lavender plantings, the herb garden and add new attractions including a hedge maze planted with almost 300 cedars. The brand new kitchen and production facilities are creating products from delicate lavender ice cream to sweetly scented sachets. The new gardens with the expanded selection of plants have kept the same spectacular view,

and the new wedding area will take advantage of both. Tourism Kelowna spokesperson, Catherine Frechette points out that several new wineries are making the scene in Kelowna this year, and three of them are in southeast Kelowna as well. Camelot Winery located on East Kelowna Road has chardonnays, merlots and more. The Okanagan Villa has a bed and breakfast, wine tasting facility and is open by appointment. The View Winery on Ward Road has delivered award winning regional wines for the past two years and can be contacted through their website. You can spend all day, or tour a single destination – Kelowna is still creating new opportunities for fun and enjoyment in the sun. 

he Okanagan International Film Festival has completed its migration to the summer and it has done so in style. From the 21st to the 25th of July this year, the OIFF will be showing 130 films in five days of programming at venues across the City. Festival passes are available right now online at www. okanaganfilmfestival.com, but make your plans early to attend one of the several world and North American movie premiers. Festival director Jason Woodford is looking forward to the very first summer film festival and the entire attendant glitz and fun. “This is a unique festival with all sorts of potential. The best way to show the Okanagan is in the summer.” The OIFF has 14 categories of competition. For several years they have been awarding excellence in independent music videos. This year OIFF has partnered with Parks Alive! to bring in as many of the bands as possible to perform live throughout the city. “Working with other societies and organizations is something we like to do,” says Woodford. A lot of the films will have locally related content.

The documentary Strange Fruit will be shown, as will the documentary, Vancouver Vagabond. The OIFF will host the world premiere of ‘Beast of the Bottomless Lake’ starring David Nikl, shot in the Okanagan. The Bangladeshi film Dark Resonance will have its North American debut in Kelowna, currently the film is in competition in Britain at the London International Film Festival. Independent movie buffs will have certainly heard of ‘Cole,’ by director Carl Bessai. Set in the Fraser Canyon community of Lytton, the movie explores relationships in a small town. Cole has been shown on the big screen at the Toronto International Film Festival, and attracted favourable reviews. While most of the films will have content not suitable for children, the OIFF always has at least one film that will enchant youngsters. Woodford is planning to partner with the Kelowna Community Foodbank to raise donations at the door of the children’s film selection. The main venue for the OIFF will be the Kelowna Community Theatre. The theatre will allow for dynamic question and answer sessions for audience members. The festival is also attracting a large number of film industry professionals, including directors, actors, producers and writers. Woodford is expecting distributor reps to put in an appearance. Signing for distribution is the holy grail for many independent filmmakers who are seeking to make a living with their work. The OIFF is a charitable society, which produces the film festival for the love of film. Tickets can be purchased online and Woodford is hoping the summer event will bring out new audiences, from across the community. “We show films that open discussions.” 

elping your dog beat the heat is a big part of making summer enjoyable for everyone. Marlene Adams, owner of Clippendales in West Kelowna, offers some tips for helping you get your dog ready to play this summer. A good rule of thumb to remember is if it is too hot for you, it is too hot for your dog, says Adams. Especially when it comes to hot pavement, if

your dog, but instead wait until it is cooler in the day, either the morning or later in the evening. For dogs that love water, but have longer hair Adams recommends using a comb before allowing your dog to go into the water. “Combing gets through to the matting down low in the dog’s coat. Any knots at all are what creates mats, so definitely make certain your dog has well combed hair before either having a bath or getting wet.” To help ease up on the brushing commitment you should talk to a groomer about options for your dog’s specific breed, says Adams. Some dogs with an undercoat might not have their hair return true to form if they are shaved closely. Very often the right option is a moderate clipping to remove weight from the dog’s coat and allow your pet to enjoy the outdoors without heating up as quickly. If you do clip your dog you need to choose some form of sun protection. “Dogs need their coats,” explains Adams. “If you change or clip the coat you need to make sure your dog is protected from the sun. Without their coat, a dog’s skin is sensitive. Many dogs get sunburn every year.” Adams recommends sunscreen with an SPF for dogs or making certain there are adequate shade shelters for your dog wherever they are. “You can also get sunglasses for your dog to protect their eyes,” says Adams. Remember to keep water in the shade along with your dog. Cool, clean water makes a tremendous difference to your dog’s comfort and health through the summer. Ultimately, says Adams, treating your dog with care and attention is all that it is needed to ensure your dog has a comfortable summer with plenty of love and fun to go around. 
