Students mind their languages
2X6 2X6
RenĂŠe Andor Black Press COMOX VALLEY — Some Comox Valley students are learning four languages this year in a pilot project by Navigate, formerly known as North Island Distance Education School. Jamie McCance, a Navigate international languages support, is conducting the project using Rosetta Stone Explorer software with Grade 4 to 8 students. But the pilot is also being tested on Grade 5 and 6 students from Aspen Park Elementary School. “I am not only looking at the benefits of the Explorer program for Navigate’s distributed learning students, but also for students in traditional schools,â€? said McCance. “I think it’s super super cool. I wish I had had something like this (at that age).â€? The computer program is designed to introduce students to four languages in a single year through a series of six-week learning cycles. Students individually choose four of 23 languages, including French, Spanish, German, Arabic, Japanese, Persian or Hindi.
CUSTOM CONTOURING
Jessi Coppick, Grade 5 Aspen Park Elementary School student, uses Rosetta Stone software to learn Dutch in the Comox Valley. Photo by RenĂŠe Andor. Aspen Park students are learning three languages because the decision to add the school to the pilot project came after Navigate students had started. Aspen Park students just started their first language on Jan. 19, but Grade 5 student Jessi Coppick, who is learning Dutch, said she’s already impressed. “It’s really fun,â€? said Coppick. “It makes it so much more easy cause they go over it and over it.â€?

said Brenchley, who compares the studio sessions to a job or traditional school. “That piece where you’re showing up for something — so with this new program you actually show up.” Students book classes on their own schedule, and Brenchley said there’s no limit to the amount of studio sessions students can do. He believes the course will be popular with people who like to travel, and is currently taking Italian himself. “I found that the sessions were fun, engaging and very useful in helping me improve and reinforce my very basic Italian,” said Brenchley.

nutritional company that has repeatedly demonstrated to our profession the difference that quality control makes to measure viability and purity. They don’t use any flowing or binding agents in their products which very few companies can assure. This quality control increases the cost of production so cheaper may not be better. I encourage
patients to look for vegetarian capsules and powders rather than tablets that have too many binders and fillers. Myth #4: All fish oils taste fishy. Recently we ran out of Carlson’s cod liver oil which forced us to try another reputable brand. We found that even though the quality was excellent it still tasted fishy. Carlson’s
is the best cod liver oil on the market. The purification process removes dioxins, PCB’s and mercury and provides a fresh flavour. Carlson’s will start to taste fishy if left open in the fridge for more than three months indicating it is rancid.

Media myths creating fear From Page 5 in the digestive tract which I try and address to alleviate this problem. Myth #5: Some vitamins have an increased risk associated with them. In the media there are reports, often on a daily basis, about some latest research that creates fear about taking a certain vitamin or herb. I have written rebuttals about most of these claims that I keep on my website and I direct my patients to read them. Most of the research can hardly be called research. The
incidence of serious outcomes associated with vitamins are less than .01 per cent. Prescription drugs taken as prescribed in hospitals are the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S and Canada, after cancer, heart disease and strokes. They cause about 10,000 deaths a year in Canada and about 106,000 deaths a year and over two million serious injuries in the U.S. (Source: Lazarou et al JAMA Vol. 279 No. 15 pp.1200-1205 Incidence of Adverse Drug Reactions in Hospitalized Patients). As many as another
10,000 deaths a year in Canada are thought to occur outside hospitals due to the wrong drug, dosage errors, and adverse reactions (Source: Dr. Joel Lexchin, Associate Professor, School of Health Policy and Management, York University, Emergency Physician, University Health Network, and Associate Professor, Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ont.). Myth#6: Echinacea should not be taken long term or in autoimmune disease. Not all Echinacea
is created equal either! The professional one I use is Echinacea Premium from Mediherb that contains only the root of Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia. Echinacea Premium is safe to take all year round, to not only reduce the incidence of colds and flus in your household, but also to improve immunity by raising natural killer cells’ numbers and activity. It is the flowers and upper parts of Echinacea that should not be taken year round. The alkyamides are the most bioavailable of the

Each submission gets to explain their process From Page 7 Each category submission gets an opportunity to explain their process in writing and to send in photos to show the range and variety of their work. Competition varies within categories, with jewellery being the most competitive. There are no guaranteed spots year to year, and the mix
of artisans changes annually. The festival attracts artisans from all across Canada. Criteria ● You must be the designer, creator or producer of your art or craft. ● You must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant. ● Your craft must be produced in Canada within the last year
and not previously submitted. ● With the exception of furniture, all work must be for sale. Custom furniture orders may be taken and samples displayed. ● Food, beauty, body and scented items must provide four samples and a complete product price list. Preference will given to products that
are mostly handmade not items that are simply bought and in bulk and repackaged. The Festival uses an anonymous jury process, meaning that jury members will not know the name of the artist submitting the work for consideration. All works will be judged for quality, originality and overall craftsmanship. The
jury is made up of 10 people - experts in ceramics, glass, jewellery, soaps & lotions, textiles, wood and visual arts. Enjoy arts, crafts, food, music and fun at the 30th annual Filberg Festival August 3-6. The Festival has established a worldwide reputation for the excellence of the work of its juried artisan.
