Metro Liquor Timberline Village is one of a chain of five specialty liquor stores in British Columbia. Our customers tell us that we are "sophisti-casual".

A combination of sophisticated products and expertise delivered in a fun and vibrant casual atmosphere. We offer Campbell River a full service liquor store with the broad range of all products that savvy customers expect, including chilled wines and ales. In addition we specialize in hard-to-find wines, spirits, and ales from B.C. and around the world. One special feature of our store is that because of our relationships with B.C. wine producers many of the B.C wines we carry are not available in any other stores. We are also the largest private seller of imported wines in the Okanagan.

Anthony lucked into a job at the LDB when he was in the middle of paying his way through college. Always having been interested in the liquor industry it was a great fit.

Eager to expand his product knowledge and have the ability to advance in a company, he moved on from the LDB and settled in at Metro Liquor Tuscany Village as Assistant Manager.

After many levels of Wine and Spirit Education together with his keen interest in beer, wine, and spirits Anthony, was ready to fly the next and accepted the managers position in Campbell River Metro Liquor.

We prep everything in store from the fresh vegetables to the daily made dough. We grind our fresh mozzarella in store daily.

We offer 5 different styles of crust; “delite”, regular, stuffed, gluten-friendly and a panpizza. We can customize any pizza to what the customer wants. We can do ½ or even ¼ ‘s on the same crust style.

We are a locally owned and operated business that really enjoys the lifestyle and customers from the Campbell River and area. We want every customer to have a great experience and even better pizza !

health

Muscle Soreness after Yoga and Exercise Muscle soreness after exercising is commonly known as DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). In short, DOMS is caused when we contract our muscles and the total stress on the muscles is greater than its capacity: We make a movement and our muscles are not yet strong enough to support that movement.

Muscle strength is defined by the quality of interaction of our muscular and neurological system, the usage of our 'motor units' (the functional unit of a muscle) , and the actual physical condition of our muscle fibers. If our muscles are unconditioned we may not be using the sufficient amount of 'motor units'.

So by slowly and gently increasing the workload of your muscles, you will increase their stamina. This in turn may reduce the risk of DOMS.

The duration of DOMS can last from anywhere between 2 - 6 days and depends on your age, overall health, sufficient water intake, how long it has been since you have been exercising - and it also depends on your diet (sugary foods, for example, are not conducive to your well-being).

In my private yoga classes I always talk about not pushing the boundaries. If you listen to your body and work with it you can prevent at least a certain amount of DOMS. The challenge lies in finding a balance between keeping your boundaries and building your strength. We are all different so there is no one-fits-all approach. The best scenario is to stay aware of your body and it's limitations. However, if you are in doubt whether yoga or any other exercise modality is right for you, or if you are concerned about your health, consult with your physician or licensed health care provider.

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “And what starting salary are you looking for?” The engineer replies, “In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.” The interviewer inquires, “Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?” The engineer sits up straight and says, “Wow! Are you kidding?” The interviewer replies, “Yeah, but you started it.”

for the Performing Arts. She has studied voice for 5 years and dance for 10 years. Heather is active in local Musical Theatre as a performer and a student-teacher. She participates in local festivals and competitions. Heather is also an accomplished pianist, currently studying grade 10 Royal Conservatory classical piano. Speech Arts is a relatively new love for Heather, though she feels very at home on the stage!

The Ecole Phoenix Middle School Sport Band: This ensemble was created by Kolya Kowalchuk at Phoenix to add a bit more "pop and fun" to playing a musical instrument in school. It's not to say regular concert band music isn't fun, but who doesn't like some dessert after their main course? The Sport Band meets three times a week during certain seasons of the year and rehearses pop arrangements of famous and popular tunes. All the members of the Sport Band are very excited to perform at the 2015 Rotary Honours Concert!

Connor Hogg: Connor is a grade 9 student at Timberline who lives and breathes music and musical theatre. He plays in the Timberline Concert Band, and the Junior and Senior Jazz Bands. Connor began studying Musical Theatre and private voice at RainCoast Creative Performing Arts in 2012. He has been in many musicals in Campbell River and Courtenay.

Most recently he had the leading role of Charlie Brown in Timberline’s 2015 show of ‘You’re a good man Charlie Brown’. Connor takes musical theatre exams each year through Trinity College of London.

Carihi Senior Band: The Carihi Senior Concert Band appears under the direction of Phil

Cassidy. The band is largely comprised of students in grades 10-12 with some additions from Grade 9 Band. Students playing in this band have to be dedicated because practices begin at 7:30 in the morning, twice a week! The band usually travels and participates in various festivals. This May they will be traveling to Fort Langley to participate in one of the many Kiwanis sponsored adjudicated festivals that happen around the country. Choosing music from the B-400 level of the Music-fest Canada syllabus, players are exposed to challenging arrangements that cover a wide variety of genres from pop to classical.

Off To Sea: Off To Sea has been together for almost three years. Ayden Gonsky and Jacob

Hutchins are Timberline Secondary students, and John Hutchins and Jesse Dean are former students. Off To Sea members write most of their own music, and perform regularly in Campbell River.

Kathy Mascia School of Dance: Kathy Mascia has been trained in R.A.D ballet and A.I.D.T. Jazz and Tap. She has been teaching for over 30 years in South Africa and Canada.

Moving to Campbell River she opened Kathy Mascia School of Dance 14 years ago, holding classes in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Pointe, and Stretch & Strength. Pupils have the opportunity to do A.I.D.T. Jazz and Tap exams. Kathy also trains students wanting to become teachers for their dance teacher exams. Pupils range in age from 5 year-olds to adults.
