The Doctors and staff at Okanagan Optical (Sunglass Cove) have a goal this summer – to keep your children’s eyes healthy and protected from damaging UV rays. That’s why they’re celebrating UV Groovy Day on Saturday, June 18, by giving away free sunglasses to children ages five and under.
Did you know that you get more ultraviolet (UV) exposure by the time you’re 16 than during the rest of your life? Studies show that children’s retinas absorb more harmful UV rays than those of adults. While people are concerned about their own eye protection, they often forget about their kids’ eyes.
Protecting kids eyes from exposure to UV today, greatly decreases a child’s chances of developing cataracts and macular degeneration later in life.
Helping to raise funds for Grins and Giggles, a new childcare centre scheduled to open in Kelowna this fall, thirteen-year old Rachel Pavlakovic will raise her voice on Friday, April 29th at Trinity Baptist to sing with two-time award-winning Bluegrass Band, A Day Late and A Dollar Short.
A good night’s sleep is rejuvenating, refreshing and restoring. Most of us would love to flop into bed and blissfully sleep uninterrupted at length. Enter babies…toddlers…young children…and you might be familiar with a night of more wakefulness than you’d like.

The Okanagan Regional Library has picked Spork as February’s book of the month! Spork is the son of a fork and a spoon. He doesn’t know anyone else who is two kinds of cutlery and he feels isolated. Because of his appearance he is rejected by both forks and spoons, and it seems he has no place in the kitchen. Spork finds an important job that only he can do and becomes proud of his rare shape.
Phthalates are chemicals used to make plastic toys, as well as soothers and other products, soft and flexible. Often these products end up in the mouths of infants, who may suck or chew on them for prolonged periods. Phthalates, which may enter the bloodstream via saliva in these infants, have been linked to reproductive and developmental toxicities in animals.
In 1998, Canadian industry voluntarily removed the two main phthalates used in teethers and pacifiers, but as most of these products are manufactured off-shore, the impact has not been significant. As well, there are many other products that are likely to be mouthed by infants, bath toys (e.g., rubber ducks), squeeze and inflatable ones, which may contain phthalates.
