Literacy Scrabble scramble on Saturday The Campbell River Literacy Association is hosting a fundraising Scrabble Tournament Saturday. The Campbell River Literacy Association has hosted two previous tournaments but they want this one to be the biggest of all. “Everyone loves to play scrabble and beat their friends, now they will have the chance to raise money for a good cause,” says Julina Spetch, CR Literacy Association ESL Coordinator. Both advanced and recreational players will enjoy three rounds of Scrabble. Players will be matched up with others of similar ability as much as possible. Beverages and snacks are provided for Scrabble players. Local businesses are generously supporting the event with the donation of prizes and food. Prizes will be awarded for areas such as top scores, lowest score, player bringing

in the highest total in donations, early bird prize and more. The Campbell River Literacy Association is fundraising in support of their literacy programs in Campbell River. For over 12 years the Campbell River Literacy Association has been working hard to provide free programming such as Adult Literacy tutoring, Youth and Adult English as a Second Language tutoring, Computer literacy programming and a English Conversational class. They train volunteer tutors, who work oneon-one or in small groups. If you know

someone who could benefit from improving their literacy skills contact the Campbell River Literacy Association at 250923-1275 for more information go to www.literacyforall.ca The tournament will run from 1-4 p.m. in the Robron Centre’s library, 740 Robron Road. Pre-registration is required. Registration packages may be picked up at the Robron Centre room number #A121A or Coho Books. Completed registrations may be dropped off at the same locations. Players who are able are asked to bring a Scrabble game with them.

Down to business The BC Salmon Farmers Association is stripping it down – their wardrobe that is – for their second annual Heart and Stroke Foundation fundraiser. Five Easy Pieces is the name of the challenge: with the five staff at the BCSFA taking on wearing just five pieces of clothing to work for the month of April, with the goal of raising $5,000. Last year, in the first year of this fun event, they had agreed to six pieces – but decided to up the ante for this year’s event. “It’ll be a challenge for sure – but we know the funds raised will help those with bigger challenges,” said Mary Ellen Walling, Executive Director of BCSFA. “Our team is excited about supporting the Heart and Stroke Foundation for another year.” At the same time that the challenge is getting smaller in terms of number of clothing items, it’s getting bigger in terms of participants.

Prior to the long weekend, fishing the local lakes was described as slow by many anglers. The public boat launches in Campbell River did become quite active as the weather turned for the better and anglers were getting out. Shelter Point is an area that the boats were fishing. Winter Springs are being caught in small numbers in the area and Bates Beach has been good for salmon further south. Many of the boats heading out this time of year are also prawning and some good catches have been reported. I met up with Krista Pearce at Browns Bay Marinaa and another busy fishing season is anticipated again this year. Some nice trout have been caught at Robertss Lake while Krista Pearce holding a big fish (pillo w fish that is). trolling along the east side of the lake, but the wind can blow you off the lake at any given moment. Flyfishing is best early evening on the north and south end of the lake. On a recent road trip, I made my way to Stella Lake for the first time. The lake is located on the Elk Bay Main Ma logging road, approximately 20 km’s km away. The road is rough most of the t time although it is well used t summer. Signs are posted to in the lea lead the way and Stella Lake will be a ggood destination to try fishing in Stella Lake weeks to come. I first learned to tie fishing flies in Kamloops in the mid 70s and I still tie the trout and salmon patterns that can be used in the Campbell River area. Leeches, Muddler Minnows and Ants are my easiest patterns to tie. Author/Fly fisherman Larry E. Stefanyk is holding fly tying classes starting April 26th at Sybil Andrews cottage in Campbell River. For information on classes and times, call 250-923-0939. I was talking with the guys at Ideal Tackle and Ken Hunter came upon something in a tackle box that could not be identified. It was a package of yellow plastic round buttons which looked like a labellingg What is it? system. Can you identify this item?

Heartburn Reflux

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with #39 acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different. Virginia Grant, 67, Markham, ON No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.

CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL My medical indicated pre-diabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON I finally found the right approach to losing weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar #40 is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living. Roger Light, 57, Fort Lauderdale, FL. Skeptics may call anybody. All real people with honest statements.

The ocean outside her front door and the forests behind are the inspiration for artist Corry Lunn’s ceramic sculptural work. The ever changing mood of the water and life that inhabits the environment along Union Bay are the soul of Lunn’s work. Ravens, otters, eagles and salmon all come alive in vessels, wall pieces and sculptural forms. She has managed to breathe life into her raku and burnished works through fire and flame. She manages to capture the essence of the subject she is sculpting through respect and admiration of the natural world. As you walk up to the studio, on the old Island Highway, you are at first struck by the homage to nature that seems to permeate the entire property.

Here are some examples: Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could #1 have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President

City faces $3.6 million deficit KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-

ures. That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December. The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-

erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and

has been reclassified as business/ other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes. That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to contract commitments and inflationary increases, said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manager of corporate services. If the city were to maintain the current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million. The loss of $1.8 million from Catalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase. To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent residential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city. That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner. The city’s operating budget is approximately $37 million which Continued on A3

The roadshow is coming to your town and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Now is your chance to take advtange of this great opportunity and have your items evaluted by one of their professionals. Whether its grandpas old wristwatch or your vintage Gibson guitar, bring it on down to the roadshow and have it evaluated by one of their experts for FREE! Since their inception, the roadshow has been giving people compensation for their old valuables such as old family heirlooms and even that old coin collection you had as a child. Great Canadian Roadshow experts will provide you with an accurate and fair evaluation of all your valuables, FREE OF CHARGE, and will also educate you on anything you need to know. The GCR also welcomes you to bring in multiple items as well, as there is no limit to the amount of items you can have evaluated. There is no appointment necessary and be sure to remember that this service is FREE OF CHARGE, so you have virtually nothing to lose! Expert Ralph Simon explains, “Many of the people we see are simply looking to get rid of various items they may have lying around their house. We have our experts examine everything to the finest detail and give these people all the information they need on these items. During these tough economic times, people are simply looking for a way to put more money in their pockets and we provide just that”. Simon added, “We all have items within our reach that have some value, we just never think it’s worth it. After a day with one of our experts, you’ll realize how valuable those items truly are. Dean Jenkins, a contractor from Iroquois Falls explains, “I was rummaging through my fathers old coin collection and found many rare pieces from the early 1940s. Not knowing their true value, I brought them over to the show and had them look at my collection.” Many of the people coming down to the show are unaware of how valuable their items truly. Our experts specialize in coin and antique evaluation, with a strong focus on customer needs as well. Jenkins continues, “After I sat down with one of their experts I knew I was in good hands. He examined all of my items and gave me information on everything as well. Who could have expected that I’d leave with a cheque for almost $4,000!” The Great Canadian Roadshow has also been extremely devoted to helping out their local community. Their work with the Heart and Stroke Foundation is proof of their commitment to the greater good and any generous donation given during the show will be matched dollar for dollar by the Great Canadian Roadshow. Last year alone, the GCR donated over $100,000 to this great cause, and now has the ability to accept donations nationwide. Go check out the show nearest you and remember not to leave anything behind. Whether you have gold or silver watches, porcelain dolls, or even vintage hockey cards, bring all your items on down to the roadshow and take advantage of this incredible opportunity.

See You At The Show!

Lunn’s inspiration was the neighbourhood feral cats From Page 10 “We are inspired by nature and our surroundings and natural objects,” says Lunn. Lunn will go through Nygaard’s sketchbook and use his work to complement her own. “There’s no ego with the two of us, we treat the work as

ongoing until it’s done, “ she said. “We don’t separate our living from our work.” Lunn works in a series when she gets inspired and this winter her inspiration was the feral cats in her immediate neighbourhood. Lunn has sculpted cats into much of her recent work — a Buddha with

a cat entwining itself at his knees, a rotund cat with a mischievous grin and many other “cats” are coming out of the studio. “I see the playful side of cats, they are unique creatures. I don’t usually do comical things,” Lunn said. The feral cats, or Darrel’s Ferals, are

MidWeek / April 18, 2012

Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society’s Walk for Wildlife It isn’t a Teddy Bear’s Picnic in the woods, so you probably won’t see a bear, but Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society thinks you are sure to see some chattering songbirds or a great blue heron on the hunt as you stroll the banks of the Courtenay River Estuary on their first Charity Walk for Wildlife April 22. Walk event organizer Lynda Hodgkinson says, “Charity walks are uniting communities

and are an opportunity for family and friends to take a few minutes for themselves and to acknowledge the importance of our connection with wildlife.” A fundraising registration fee of $10 will be waived if participants obtain sponsors and a prize will be awarded for the most pledges. Registration starts at noon at the parking area, south end of the Airpark’s runway just past the Whistle Stop

Pub and continues in a clockwise direction. Bring your pledge sheets and donation money. MARS couldn’t have picked a more unique location for their Walk for Wildlife as the paved walkway will accommodate strollers and wheelchairs yet still bring you tantalizingly close to the waterfowl, eagles, herons and seals that make the Estuary their home. The Estuary is the stage for a variety of wildlife

actors in their natural habitat and reflects MARS’ mission to conserve and protect it through rehabilitation and education. This is a great opportunity to meet ambassador birds who will appreciate your donations. Remember to bring your water container and fill up at the water station generously provided by Water Pure & Simple. Pledge sheets are available at local businesses including

veterinarian clinics and hospitals, NIC, CV Chamber of Commerce, Ski Tak Hut, Jeannie’s Vitamin Centre, Comox Mall Coffee Shop, Art Knapp’s Plantland, Shar-Kare Feed and may also be downloaded from MARS website, www. wingtips.org. MARS is challenging all Comox Valley students to see who can get the most pledges and the Valley’s firefighters, RCMP, BC Ambulance staff and
