COURTENAY — Huge hearts and unparalleled spirit connects the members of the Torry and Sons Plumbing and Heating Team riding to conquer cancer.

The Comox Valley group has committed to a team goal of raising $17,500 for the BC Cancer Foundation.

Each one of the riding members has been affected by family, a co-worker or close friend who has been stricken with this devastating disease and each are doing what they can to support the fi ght against cancer.

This cycling journey is a 200-kilometre, two-day ride that will be tackled by the team in June. The route will take them from Cloverdale, over the U.S. border, and through northern Washington State before winding up in

Seattle.The Torry and Sons

team consists of a cross-section of talent from throughout the company, including from their Courtenay and Nanaimo divisions: owner Brian Farnham; gas fi tter Chris Sykes; tool control Ron Gibson; electrician Chris Gytenbeek; HVAC estimator Warren Hill; marketing manager Wendy Mayers; and the initiator of it all, project manager Jason O’Connell.

O’Connell has completed this epic ride twice already. This year, he called on his co-workers to step into the pedals and join him on this amazing journey.

Why is O’Connell riding 200 kilometres and personally raising $2,500?

“I am riding for my sister Kristina who passed away from

cancer and also my pastor, Brian, who is currently fi ghting cancer,” O’Connell says. “My sister left behind two beautiful girls and a great husband. I would like to do my part in making sure no one else has to go through this. I would like to see this disease come to an end and I hope that by raising this money it will help move forward in making this happen.”

The team is seeking support in donations from friends, family, colleagues and the community to reach their ambitious goal. The funds raised go to the BC Cancer Foundation for research and programs to help fi ght all types of cancer.

To join the heart and spirit of the Torry and Sons Team in their effort to Conquer Cancer — a donation

form can be obtained from the team website at www.conquercancer.ca or for assistance call Wendy at 250-703-4876.

Torry and Sons Plumbing and Heating Ltd was established in the Comox Valley in 1981. Red Seal certifi ed technicians

provide new packages and repair services for residential and commercial applications in HVAC, plumbing, gas and fi re

protection.Offi ces in

If a close friend told you she has dementia, would you avoid her for fear of being embarrassed by what she might say or do?

If you answered “yes,” you’re not alone.

According to a recent poll by Alzheimer’s Disease International, 40 per cent of people with dementia reported they had been avoided or treated differently after diagnosis.

It’s no surprise, then, that one in four respondents cited stigma as a reason to conceal their diagnosis,

says Jane Hope, the Campbell River support and education coordinator for the non-profi t Alzheimer Society of B.C.

That’s why the Society has chosen “See me, not my disease. Let’s talk about dementia” as the theme of the annual Alzheimer Awareness Month, which runs through January nationally. The goal is to address myths about the disease, shift attitudes and make it easier to talk about dementia, says Hope.

“Stereotypes and

misinformation are what prevent people with dementia from getting the help they need and stop others from taking the disease seriously.”

For example, Alzheimer’s disease is more than having the occasional “senior moment” or losing your keys. It is a progressive degenerative brain disorder that affects each person differently. Sadly, it is fatal and there is no cure.

“Although one in three Canadians know someone with

dementia, it is not discussed as openly as other chronic illnesses, so the prevalence is there but the conversation isn’t yet and that’s what we hope to address,” explains Hope.

Today, 747,000 Canadians have dementia, 70,000 whom are British Columbians.

While dementia can affect people as young as 40 years of age, the risk doubles every fi ve years after 65. The number of Canadians with dementia is expected

to double to 1.4 million in the next 20 years, including more than 177,000 British Columbians.

“By talking more openly about dementia, we can all help to increase awareness about the symptoms, encourage earlier diagnosis and provide support for families to have the confi dence and skills for the journey ahead.”

To help change the conversation, she says, area residents can do their part if they:

● Learn the facts about dementia.

Help to dispel inaccurate information to change society’s attitudes and opinions towards people with the disease.

● Stop making jokes about Alzheimer’s which trivialize the condition.

”We don’t tolerate racial jokes, yet dementia-related jokes are common.”

● Maintain relationships with people with dementia at home, in the community or at work, especially as the disease progresses.

Glaucoma, which can strike at any age without warning, is one of the leading causes of blindness in Canada.

Usually caused by an elevation of pressure within the eye, glaucoma can damage the optic nerve and lead to permanent loss of peripheral vision.

Symptoms: The most common form of glaucoma usually presents no symptoms until signifi cant peripheral vision is lost, earning glaucoma the nickname “the silent thief of sight.”

A less common form of the disease causes a sudden rise in pressure within the eye, which can cause pain, blurred vision and halos around lights. Left untreated, both forms can lead to complete loss of peripheral vision.

Prevention: Though there’s no way to prevent glaucoma, early detection can help prevent damage from the disease.

That’s why regular eye exams are so

important, even if your vision seems fi ne.

Detection: Your optometrist will conduct a comprehensive eye exam, check the pressure in your eye

and evaluate the health of your optic nerve.

If any concerns exist, he or she may conduct further tests such as a visual fi eld test,

which measures the sensitivity of your peripheral vision and

can detect subtle losses long before you’d notice them.

Treatment: If glaucoma is detected and treated early by your BC Doctor of Optometry, permanent vision loss can usually be avoided.

Treatment options can range from daily eye drops to surgery for more advanced cases.

Risk Factors: Anyone can develop glaucoma, but the risk increases with age. People with diabetes, extreme nearsightedness or farsightedness, previous eye surgery,

a family history of glaucoma and people of African descent are at higher risk to develop the disease.

If you’re over 60 or fall into any of the above categories, be sure to visit your optometrist every year. For more detailed information about glaucoma, visit www.bcdoctorsofoptometry.com.

Dr. Adam Reid is an optometrist with Mosaic Vision Care in Courtenay. To make an appointment, call 250-334-4512 or visit www.mosaicvisioncare.com.

Last year at this time many anglers were kept off the water and fi shing time was very limited due to bad weather. This year the anglers who are fi shing for winter springs are catching fi sh and will get their limit by noon. August Brantvein and his fi shing party caught springs at Willow Point. A lure that has been productive is the Ace Hi Fly. The fl y features a double glow head that intensifi es the hydrodynamic fl ow of water over the tinsel.

The nature path from Salmon Point to the Oyster river is about a 40 minute easy hike and during the prime fi shing month during the pink and Coho run anglers are lined up throwing out fl ies and spoons in hopes of catching a salmon.

There are still signs of fi shing relics around that remind us of fi shing day’s gone by. Old wooden boats are being used as planters in some situations and the old style weigh scales are being used at Discovery Pier and the old Campbell River Lodge.

Lake fi shing has been good in some areas on the lower Campbell and to the north of Roberts Lake. Smaller lakes in the area are fi shed when the wind blows up but some nice trout are being caught. The last weekend in January the weather was windy on Bear lake and anglers who ventured out had to head home.

Osteoarthritis is a disease that affects the joints in the body.

Although it can affect any joint, it is most common in the hips, knees, spine, and feet. It is caused by the breakdown of cartilage, which is the tough rubbery material that covers the joint surfaces of all of the bones in the body. In healthy joints, the cartilage acts as a shock absorber against any weight or impact that is put through the joint. When a joint develops osteoarthritis the cartilage becomes rough and thin.

The thinning of the cartilage increases the friction in the joint and can cause an increase in the growth of the underlying bone resulting in the formation of bone spurs. If the arthritis continues to progress, the cartilage can wear away entirely leaving bone to rub on bone.

Damage due to osteoarthritis progresses slowly over time and may result in several problems.

You may have pain, especially when moving a joint. Sometimes, you may hear a grating sound when the roughened cartilage on the surface of the bones rubs together. A joint may feel sore and stiff, and the

joint won’t move as easily or as far as it once did. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms it is best to see your family doctor and get an x-ray to look at the health of whatever joints are causing you pain. Although traditional wisdom states that osteoarthritis is caused by “wear and tear” the exact cause of osteoarthritis is actually unknown.

The risk of getting osteoarthritis increases with your weight and with your age. Most people develop it after the age of 45. A previous injury to a joint will also increase your chances of developing arthritis. So what can you do once you have developed arthritis? Joint protection and exercise are the most effective ways to slow the progression of the disease.

Exercise helps reduce pain and prevents further joint damage. Strengthening exercises help to protect and stabilize the joint, gentle stretching exercises can help to keep it moving and low impact exercises such as walking or swimming can help increase

your cardiovascular fi tness and keep your weight down. Protecting the joint means not trying to do too much at once, positioning the joints properly to avoid undue stress, and using devices like grocery carts or canes to help make daily tasks easier. If you are having trouble moving because

of osteoarthritis a physiotherapist can show you some simple exercises to help maintain the strength and fl exibility of your joints as well as giving you strategies to help decrease joint stress.

Surgery is sometimes an option in cases where exercise and

joint protection are no longer effective. In an arthroscopic surgery, bits of cartilage are trimmed or removed from the joint to allow the joint to move more smoothly. Generally when arthroscopic surgery is unsuccessful the fi nal option is to replace the entire joint with an artifi cial one.

Bone up on your joint diseases Campbell River to explore the prophecies of revelationin new Bible study series

Interest in prophecy has recently captured the attention of North America, and in the last decade, the topic has graced the covers of TIME and Newsweek.

Many are wondering if the recent political and economic upheaval is a sign of the end.

In the midst of all this confusion, many people are turning to the Bible for answers. It is for this reason that, beginning Feb. 15, It Is Written Television will be presenting a special DVD series about the book of Revelation called

Revelation Today, featuring John Bradshaw director and speaker for It Is Written Television.

Over the course of this free, media event,

Bradshaw will open the Bible to explore Revelation chapter by chapter. In a world where many people are terrifi ed of what the future holds, Bradshaw has found that Revelation actually contains a message of peace and hope for the future. He also will show that the Bible itself holds the keys to revealing the signs of Revelation, and that by studying other parts of this Holy Book, one can fi nd answers to what will happen in the fi nal days of Earth’s history.

“The book of Revelation is possibly the most misunderstood and confusing book in the Bible, when in fact it is the revelation of Jesus Christ,” said Bradshaw. “During this series, Bible subjects

typically shrouded in confusion will be made clear as we learn how the messages in this book apply to our lives today.”

Revelation Today begins Friday, Feb. 15, at 7 p.m. in the Sportsplex located at 1800 Alder St. South Room 1 in Campbell River. You may register to attend on-site during this free event, or by calling 250-923-2383.

Family Day is the ideal time to bring your family ‘back to the table’. Given the increasingly busy schedule of every member of the family, eating together has been a casualty of our hectic days. Whether you’re together in your home, on a mini-vacation or enjoying a local restaurant, there are nu-merous benefi ts to eating together. Sharing a table means sharing your day, sharing your undivided attention and sharing conversation. It is a chance to give extra attention to your children and teens. Family meals foster warmth, security and love, as well as a sense of belonging. The way that you act at the table becomes a model for your children. They learn from your appreciation of the meal and your social skills - especially when outside the home. Table manners are social skills and leading by example makes it easier for parents to teach without lecturing. Using family meals as a way to sample new menus can be both fun and a great learning experience. By giving family members input and the opportunity to

choose the menu, it becomes an ideal way to ex-pand their horizons on a wider range of foods and cultures. It also can lead to healthier choices as well as developing an open mind for experiencing new things. A way to get more out of a family meal is to engage the family in menu selection, shopping and prepara-tion. You can begin this at a very young age giving children age-appropriate tasks like stirring ingredi-ents, washing vegetables, tearing lettuce and setting the table. As your children grow they can take on more key responsibilities and the pride that comes with preparing a special family meal. This teaches your children cooking skills, nutrition and appre-ciation for the effort of meal preparation. It can also provide a great source of accomplishment and sense of self-suffi ciency. Plan to make your Family Day special by including all those who make up your family. Pay tribute by mak-ing your meal special and so memorable you’ll want to ensure you do it more often.

There is no better province to explore than British Co-lumbia and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories. They offer a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live. The variety of experiences available to families is dif-ferent in each region of this spectacular province - you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the other regions in B.C. over the Family Day weekend. Whether taking SkyTrain, BC Ferries, driving, or hop-ping a fl ight, there are many ways to invest in a day of discovery. Travel is just one aspect. To maximize the experience families should involve everyone in the planning. By planning ahead you and your whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each. You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and activities, creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest, lunch and shopping as well as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles. Researching history, attractions, museums, parks

and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. This way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop. Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family explorations.

PORT HARDY—Gyoza? Yaki Soba? Oyaka Don? What’s your favourite Japanese dish?

At one time many locals would have confessed that they’d never even tried Japanese food. But times have changed. These days, folks are regularly tantalizing their taste buds by sampling the many dishes served at several North Island eateries.

It seems there is nothing like food to spark an interest in another culture.

But while eating at a restaurant is great, members of Port Hardy’s Twinning Society have also had the chance to take it to the next level by sampling authentic Japanese cooking as guests in the homes of Port Hardy’s sister city of Numata, Japan.

They’ve also joined in with a community picnic where beef was

cooked over outdoor hibachi grills; watched a chef demonstrate sushi-making, then prepared their own; and even sampled a “McSushi” at the airport food court.

But food is just one part of the cultural travel experience that Twinning Society members have enjoyed on trips to Numata, a town with a population of about 3,600, situated in the northwestern part of Hokkaido Island about 100 kilometres north of Sapporo.

The Twinning relationship between Port Hardy and Numata goes back almost 20 years. Every year trips alternate between the communities, with North Islanders traveling to Japan one year and hosting visitors to Port Hardy the next.

Planning for the next trip, in August

2013, is under way now, and if you’ve ever thought of visiting Japan, this summer may be just the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. About a dozen people usually participate in each trip, usually a mix of adults plus several high school students (especially those keen to practice the Japanese language skills they’ve been learning at school).

A few of the Twinning Society members who were hoping to go to Japan this summer have had to postpone their trip, so there now looks to be spaces for more people to join the group this August.

If this sounds interesting to you, a trip with the Twinning Society begins by contacting the group, many of whom have already been to Numata and can answer all your

questions. The best way to do this is to come to the next meeting on Monday, Feb. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Municipal Hall, or by contacting one of the phone numbers below.

On a trip, everybody pays for their own plane tickets and there are usually a couple of nights in hotels along the way, but after that the costs are minimal because our Japanese friends welcome you into their homes as home stay guests and make arrangements for sightseeing and cultural outings. A highlight of the visit will be a chance to participate in Numata’s famous “Yotaka Andon Festival”, an event featuring huge seven-metre-tall, colourfully lit “andons” (Japanese lanterns) that are paraded through the town streets accompanied by

dancing, fl ute-playing and the pounding of Taiko drums.

This trip is a great way to experience real

Japanese culture, while traveling safely in the company of your Port Hardy neighbours.

information, contact Leslie at 250-949-6665 (daytime) or 250-949-2315 (evening) or Pat at 250-949-6488.

The 25th annual Bowl for Breath takes place Feb. 9-10, at the Campbell River Bowling Centre.

The event helps to raise funds and promote the awareness of cystic fi brosis. More than $200,000 has been raised for Cystic Fibrosis Canada through the Bowl for Breath.

There have been tremendous developments to improve the quality of life for people with cystic fi brosis.

Unfortunately, a cure for this devastating, inherited disease still has not been found.

Cystic fi brosis is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian

children and young adults.

Cystic fi brosis causes a build-up of thick mucus in the lungs leading to severe respiratory problems.

Meanwhile, mucus and protein build-up in the digestive tract results in extreme diffi culty in digesting and absorbing adequate nutrients from food.

Elementary and secondary students can participate in the Bowl for Breath. There are several shifts to choose from and each participant bowls two game.

Students can collect pledges or make a minimum $10 donation to cystic fi brosis.

Adults are able to

sign up a team of fi ve bowlers, choice of

fi ve-pin or 10-pin, for Rock’n Bowl on the

evening of Saturday, Feb. 9.

Bowling begins at 7 p.m. and costs $20 per

person. Participants are

eligible for all kinds of prizes, but special recognition and prizes (including entry into a draw for a helicopter ride for fi ve, courtesy of West Coast Helicopters) will be given for outstanding fundraising efforts.

Contact Cindy Stewart at 923-3382 to register or for more info on these events.

Page 14: , February 06, 2013

A group of 12 Campbell River Christian School (CRCS) students are raising money for a mission to Uganda that their vice-principal says will be a life changing experience.

The 12 students – along with four school leaders including Vice-Principal Peter Terpstra and local pediatric plastic surgeon Dr. Robin Evans – will spend 16 days in July working at the Soroti Regional Referral Hospital, a facility that is chronically overcrowded and underfunded and where the struggling staff serves an impoverished rural population that cannot afford even basic health care.

Terpstra says: “We will be going there to assist in the hospital where we are needed. These students will be encountering tough conditions, stuff they have never seen. They will be totally changed.”

Grade 12 student Oksanna Kindy-Olesen, 17, says it will be her fi rst visit to Africa. “I’m expecting to fi nd conditions I’ve never experience. I’m preparing to fi nd conditions I will have diffi culty getting used to. I am preparing for something I will probably never fully recover from.”

The CRCS team will be working with Dr. Sister Mary Margaret Ajiko at the hospital to provide humanitarian aid and assist with projects

around the hospital and grounds.

The hospital is the main government referral facility for the mid-eastern region of Uganda.

It has 274 beds to serve approximately one million people in the city of Soroti and the surrounding rural area.

The picture Sister Mary Margaret paints of the conditions is not a pretty one:

“Picture if you will an operating theatre with cracks in the fl oor and leaks in the ceiling; single beds with many patients crowded in them with no bed linens; mothers delivering babies on the fl oor; premature babies with no chance of survival due to lack of incubators; patients wheeled into surgery

with their plastic bag of rubber gloves, sutures and medicines they have purchased locally because the hospital has limited supplies; a virtually useless X-ray machine due to lack of fi lm; sutures cut into small strips to use as many

times as possible.”CRCS Education

Assistant Jessica Kelly, who is also going on the mission, says the process of preparing the students for the terrible conditions they will see has already begun. “We have a variety of

documentary fi lms they will be watching.

“And, we are slowly easing them in with photos Dr. Evans has taken when he has been on the ground there. We’ve shown them their fi rst few pictures of serious burns.”

Terpstra says the school is currently fundraising $60,000 to cover the costs of the trip and the purchase of a generator. “The hospital is lacking in almost every medical convenience we take for granted in Canada.”

Members of the Uganda Team at the Campbell River Christian School hand out goodies at their school’s Christmas market. The team of 12 students heading to Uganda includes (from the left) Heather Belanger, Josie Corrado, Jaden Welsh and Brielle Kelly. Photo by Brian Kieran

Nine-month-old Eli Perry has a rare form of leukemia and will undergo a bone marrow transplant – donated by his brother – on Aug. 20. Help support little

Eli and his family Saturday at the barbecue fundraiser at Superstore in Discovery Harbour Mall from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Eli Perry was only three months

old when he was diagnosed with a

rare form of adult leukemia.

The Campbell River boy is now

nine months old and has spent

all but one week of the ensuing

months at Vancouver Children’s

Hospital with his mother.

He is now facing a bone marrow

transplant, which is set for Aug.

20. Following the transplant, for

which one of his big brother’s

will be the donor, he and mom

will enter 100 days of virtual iso-

lation for his recovery, to protect

him from any kind of infection.

As Eli is the youngest of eight

children, dad has stepped up to

the plate to keep house and home

for this large and lovely family.

An entirely new role for him to

undertake, having been the sole

breadwinner until now, his efforts

are truly impressive.

Meanwhile, as mom is an inte-

gral part of his medical team, the

family has spent a great deal of

time apart, traveling as often as

they are able, to keep mom and

Eli from being too lonely over in

the hospital in the big city.

In response to hearing this

story, the management and staff

of Superstore, headed by Gary

Ogrodnick, have decided to hold a

barbecue fundraiser on Saturday

from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

They would like to invite the

The city’s withdrawal of an

offer to provide sewer services

to homes south of the city

limits is “disappointing” but

not unexpected, according to

Strathcona Regional District

Director Brenda Leigh.

“Clearly, it does not have the

capacity to extend us this ser-

vice and it’s great that they

are finally able to admit this

so that the region can move

on with its own plans,” said

Leigh, director representing

Area D (Ocean Grove to Oys-

ter River). “In one way, I am

relieved that Campbell River

is withdrawing itself from the

project.”
