Danny Poirier, a light keeper, captured a photo of this wolf while working at Cape Scott, just north of Port Hardy. “Part of my adventures of working the lights of the West Coast of British Columbia is the pleasure of embracing the nature that surrounds all of us that live on Vancouver Island,” Poirier says.

swimsuit and talent “competition”. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and a dance will follow the pageant. Two things remain the same: all the pageant contestants are men, and each of them will be outfitted in the wildly decorated foundation garments created for last summer’s Bras for a Cause fundraiser at The Flower Shoppe. The Victor’s Secret Pageant continues the fundraising, with particular emphasis on helping out North Island cancer victims and their families. Last year’s fashion show raised nearly $6,000, with $2,000 donated to fighting breast cancer and the rest remaining in the community, Verbrugge said. “It wasn’t my idea,” she said of the
PORT McNEILL— Having organized the inaugural Victor’s Secret Fashion Show a year ago, Cheryl Verbrugge should have been more comfortable preparing for the second annual event this weekend. Well, yes and no. “I think it’s easier,” Verbrugge admitted, then added with a laugh, “But I’m starting to get stressed that I’m not more nervous.” The format has changed a bit for this year’s show, which kicks off at 7 p.m. Saturday at Port McNeill Community Hall. Instead of a fashion show on a runway, this will be a pageant, complete with judges, evening gowns and
Victor’s Secret events, “but I got it going when a friend of mine was dying and was going to Victoria for (cancer) treatments. She said, ‘I just can’t do it anymore; it’s too hard.’ I just wanted to do anything I could to help.” Verbrugge and her fellow volunteers have clearly hit on a winning formula. Last year’s fashion show sold out the 150 available tickets to the community hall, and this weekend’s pageant sold out last Friday. “Last year was kind of flying by the seat of our pants,” said Verbrugge. “I guess this year will be, too. We’ve got a lot of new guys.” Last year each model was escorted down the runway by “showgirls” Alyssa

Vjecko Zima of Port McNeill strikes a pose during last year’s Victor’s Secret fashion show at the Community Hall in Port McNeill. Organizers return this weekend for a pageant featuring local men wearing bras donated to the Bras for a Cause fund-raiser. Photo by J.R. Rardon McAstocker and Julie Tait to a bump-andgrind soundtrack. They then strut their stuff in the zany-themed bras as fans — women dominated the crowd — shrieked and tossed tokens to their favourites.

Students readying for the big sack attack Renee Andor Black Press The Comox Valley School District will host the annual Vancouver Island VEX Robotics Tournament again this year. Thirty-two teams of students, mostly from Grade 8 to 12, will come to the Valley to compete on Saturday, Jan. 26 at Lake Trail Middle School from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The community is encouraged to come out and watch the tournament, according to Comox Valley School District career programs co-ordinator Randy Grey, who adds the challenges are exciting to watch and are new each year. “This year it’s called Sack Attack,” says Grey. “They have to be able to pick up bean bags and launch them really quickly. “It’s quite a good one to watch.”
Teams form alliances in VEX tournaments, and each alliance receives the same parts to build their robots with so Grey says the competition is really about who can work together to come up with the best design. G.P. Vanier Secondary School will have four teams attend, while Highland will have two, Mark R. Isfeld will have two, Navigate Powered by NIDES (North Island Distance Education School) will have two and Lake Trail will have one. Many of the Comox Valley teams went to Vancouver for a season opener tournament earlier in the school year, and the two Isfeld teams made it to the semi-finals, and the Highland and Vanier teams played in an alliance and won the consolation final. Grey notes the

number of teams in the Comox Valley is high compared to the number of secondary schools; he points out Surrey has about 28 high schools but only about four teams total. Teams will also come from Campbell River, Nanaimo, Mill Bay and the Lower Mainland to compete in the Comox Valley. Grey says the collaboration with other teams makes the competition similar to real work environments. “What really becomes evident at these competitions is the collaboration between students that they’re in a competition, they collaborate to make a robot and then they have to implement it and that’s just like out in industry,” says Grey. “That’s the whole philosophy behind robotics is that they’re given a challenge,
they have to solve the challenge and then they go and compete and the winner takes all, and that’s just like in industry so it’s really cool.” Three of the teams from this tournament will qualify to go to the world championships in California later this year. “So it’s a big tournament,” he adds. “There’s only three qualifying tournaments in B.C. — this is one of them.” Grey is looking for community volunteers for the event at Lake Trail. Duties vary and he urges anyone interested to contact him at randy.grey@ sd71.bc.ca. Meanwhile, Grey notes Lego Robotics — which is designed to excite younger students (mainly Grade 5) about robotics early on in their education — has been slowly growing

Cardiometobolics: The new science behind heart health Heart disease is still the #1 killer in North America. Very expensive interventions have not changed this fact over many decades. It is not a single entity but a complex chronic disease with many diverse causes and diverse outcomes from high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, elevated blood lipids, aneurysms and stroke. Most heart disease is entirely preventable and what makes it preventable is human behaviour. The following is a list of basic healthy living rituals that makes heart disease preventable: ● no smoking or recreational drugs ● regular exercise ● healthy diet ● stress reduction/ management ● satisfying employment ● unpolluted air, water and earth (drinking purified water is definitely possible here but the other two may not be) ● strong positive connections to family and community ● expression of spirituality As individuals we can make healthy choices to do the following: ● eat primarily organic whole foods

ARTHRITIS
7
Pain free in 2 weeks!
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 We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. 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 #1 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 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. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No need to make claims. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.

BELL LIFESTYLES
Heartburn Reflux PROCESS
By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.
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, pasta, 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 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

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 #40 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 what 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 lose weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar 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.

Fishing 2X14 Corner
with Don Daniels email: dond@campbellrivermirror.com The locals have been enjoying fishing for Winter Springs at the Lighthouse, Willows Point and at the Hump. Fish size has ranged from 10 to 28 pounds. Some anglers are fishing to deep with no luck. In the past big fish have been caught around the herring spawn. Each week I see a number of new anglers at Discovery Pier. Last year a 28-pound spring was taken en in April. p
FISHING
CORNER
Public Boat Launch, Campbe ll River
Some local lakes are producing nice catches of trout. Pick a day when the weather is not a factor and lakes where the water is shallow will drop off and try casting a lure from shore if you don’t have a boat. I will fish a lake that has fishing rising and is a short drive north of Campbell River. I fished Snakehead Lake with success using choronamid flies and had caught and released a number of pan size trout. I am headed to a larger g the same pattern body of water and will try fishing a choronomid. d The Oyster and Salmon River willl have the bestt g Steelhead fishing beginning in a s. couple of weeks. g Anglers using pink worms orr n egg patterns can n Cody Woelfley & Spencer Mousak trigger a strike. In e my estimation the Salmon River hass e some very fishable u pools and if you h can drift through e the spots some e nice fish can be hooked. d I took the pickled oyster taste testt last week and wass Oyster River pleasantly surprised how good they were with the mixture of onions. I am headed to a new lake located between Campbell River and Sayward and will have the report next week in the fishing corner.

Tin grin!” Those cruel taunts could be a thing of the past, thanks to one of the nicest innovations in dentistry: Invisalign invisible braces. Invisalign consists of a custom-made series of clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place without using metal

Invisalign treatment costs around $5,000 and is covered by most dental plans that have orthodontic coverage. To get started, first you’ll need to make an appointment with an Invisalign provider to have an X-ray and assess if your goals can be achieved.

Helping people make health choices From Page 7 in artery walls, can predict risk of a heart attack or stroke. When both Lp-PLA2 levels and blood pressure are high, stroke risk increases significantly.
Natural nutrients lower Lp-PLA2. ● Small LDL Particles: The size as well as the number of LDL particles is important in determining risk. The small LDL’s can cause
plaque build up and progress much faster as they enter the arterial wall more easily than large LDL particles. Having too many small LDL particles is a powerful risk factor for a heart attack. Certain
nutrients and avoiding wheat according to Dr. Davis, author of “The Wheat Belly” decreases small LDL particles. ● Large HDL particles: It was always understood that if you have a lot of HDL

particles in the blood this was protective against heart disease. But the size also matters and the larger they are the better they can transport cholesterol out of the arteries. Weight loss, exercise and stopping tobacco improve the number of these larger HDL particles. ● Vitamin D (25 OH) or vitamin D blood levels: Studies have linked vitamin D deficiency to increased risk of metabolic syndrome, Type II diabetes and heart disease. These advanced forms of blood tests are offered by such labs as Berkeley HeartLab, Cleveland Heart Lab and Boston Heart Labs. Many people have either elevated LDL cholesterol and or lower levels of HDL cholesterol and they want to avoid the statin drugs due to their side effects and controversy. These tests can help people make choices about their health care and take more aggressive measures to naturally change these biomarkers. In science measurement precedes change.
