MidWeek reader Juli Winstanley captured these sea lions which migrate through Mitlenatch Island every year. “Their roar is enormous, their beauty outstanding...just had to share a picture of a cool seal and the sea lions,” Winstanley says. “Every year when we take our boat over to see them we are once again amazed by them. We stopped counting at 100 sea lions.”

Are you stretching for the CV Half Marathon?

With hundreds of sitting, but the sad walkers and runners in truth is that after this weekend’s annual dozens of studies Comox Valley Half and years of debate, Marathon Sunday, medical science is still March 24 stretch or divided as to whether not to stretch that is stretching helps, the question— harms, or the question does anything David that one of at all for Pechter my running performance or Rehab in Motion clients asked injury rates. me.

On one She is a runner and hand, a study of 100 a few of her running people revealed that partners were doing the least flexible yoga. She wondered if expended 10 to 12 per added flexibility would cent less energy than make her a better the most flexible when runner or prevent running at the same injuries. The short pace. This may seem answer to her question counter intuitive, but is, “it depends.” consider how muscles I hate fencework. Muscles convert

metabolic energy into mechanical work by pulling on bones through tendons. In a sport like running, stiffer muscles and tendons mean that less energy is wasted in this conversion process.

Would you rather lift a weight with a bungy cord or a steel-braided cable—both will do the job, and one will be easier than the other.

On the other hand, in my practice I see many runners who suffer injuries as a result of muscle imbalances. Tight muscles can alter alignment and increase

will wear out tires, a poorly aligned runner will wear through hips, knees, and feet.

On Saturday March 9th the Campbell River Salmon Foundation held the sixth annual Dinner/Dance and Auction. More than 400 tickets were sold to this event and the people came to eat, bid and dance. This annual event is well attended and the money raised goes to Salmon enhancement projects which includes s new large capacity fish transport tank for the Quinsam Hatchery, Spawning gravel replacement in the Campbell River and Support for the City of Campbell Rivers’ Pinks on the Pier’. In total The Campbell River Salmon Silent Auction Foundation funded 12 2 Fishing Flies projects in 2012.

Bruce Aikman will be guiding back on the water again this year. Most guides spend the winter getting their boats and gear ready for another fishing season Bruce logged over 900 hours guiding at Painters Lodge in 2012 and can often be seen fishing in the Tyee Pool.

Bruce Aikman With the recent rain in the area the rivers have been high and some steelhead fishing has been reported as very good in the Salmon River.

The Oyster and Quinsam rivers are a great place to catch trout in certain pools and with the water conditions fly fishing has been good.

The Elk river is a hard place to try fly fishing if you cant get to the pools holding trout.

Lakes are fishing slowly in the upper elevation areas and local lakes Maple and Spider can be very good as the weather warms.

Trolling lures and flies should get you some hits.

hosted by Anthony Hunt and Donna Cranmer at the youth centre on the Kwakiutl First Nation reserve.

“It’s amazing how many people want to do this,” Hunt said Saturday as he surveyed a dozen participants scattered

among tables covered with narrow cedar strips, hat forms, water buckets, bottles and vases. “I want to try to do these here once a month, and also once a month in Port Hardy.”

The workshop began Friday with a lesson in “thinning” the cedar, turning the rough, raw material into smooth, narrow strips suitable for weaving.

With the aid of soaking and repeated sprinklings of water by weavers as they work, the cedar remains almost silky smooth and flexible.

“I thought it would be rough; I thought, ‘what about splinters?’,” said Maggie Sedgemore.

“But it’s very smooth.

The hard part is thinning it right so you end up with long enough strips. You can’t do very much if the strips aren’t long.”

Hunt provides all the cedar bark, which he harvests each year during the warm months.

“You have to do it when the pitch is running on the red cedar,” said Hunt.

“Otherwise, it won’t come off the tree.”

Last weekend’s workshop drew participants with a wide range of skill and experience, from veteran weavers to first-timers like Debbie Hunt and Leslie McGarry, who both traveled from Victoria to take part.

After getting their initial lesson in thinning, weavers were given their choice of items to make. While Hunt recommends baskets or vases to new weavers, most opted to make the decorative and recognizable, wide-brimmed Kwakwaka’wakw cedar hat.

“The hats are a lot more work,” said Hunt, pointing out several vases and bottles that were already finished Saturday while most weavers were only halfway through completing their Cont. on Page 5

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 2013

Amount of cedar needed surprises hats. “The thing that surprises them is now much cedar they need.

There are about 300 to 400 pieces in a hat.”

The items are woven over hatshaped forms, and are worked from the top down. Vases and bottles are also built around those items and can take a variety of shapes. In the case of long-necked bottles, the weaving remains wrapped decoratively around the bottle, which cannot be removed.

Many of the weavers worked at long, communal tables.

Others worked singly

at smaller desks.

They included Rita Hunt, who sat surrounded by thick piles of rough cedar as she wove a hat on a miniature-sized form.

“I’m making a hat

for my granddaughter,” she said.

Anthony Hunt noted this would probably wrap up the workshop season as the weather turns to spring and outdoor activities.

PAIN RELIEF

I Can is catching

FOR CHRONIC AILMENTS

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D.

Loose muscles

in the throat cause snoring, also interrupted breathing and gasping for air (sleep apnea), which brings on being tired all day, need for napping, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, irregular heart beat. Read below how Bell helps thousands, usually first night, inexpensively, with no side effects. Greatly improves quality of life and saves marriages. Survey says 48% snore and 75% are suffering if you include the silent suffering partners. To my surprise, after taking BellSound Sleep #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air.

During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since #23 taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results.

Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband.

Valerie Peoples, 53, Jonesboro, GA Parking ticket officer had stress relief, no more angina chest pain, increased blood circulation in cold whether, has now also warm hands and feet. Joel Phelps, 47, Windsor, ON For 30 years had inflammation in my foot from ball games. A good Turmeric was recommended (Curcumin is an extract). After 1 day had 90% pain relief. I was amazed how quickly it took effect. As a bonus had other health benefits including insomnia relief. Dan DeZorzi, 42, Maidstone, ON #67
