helps with memory and learning; slowing the cognitive decline that comes with aging; the synthesis of red blood cells; cardiovascular health (B12, folic acid and B6 lower homocysteine which is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke); and antiinflammatory effects. I explained to Mrs. S that a trial of IM (intramuscular) B12 would be the best way to determine if it would be effective. The most accurate test for B12 status is measuring the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) which is done for research purposes only. It was found that the serum levels of B12 did NOT correlate with CSF levels. Urinary methymalonic acid is the easiest, more accurate test for determining B12 tissue deficiency at a cost of $200. The only test that I recommended for Mrs. S was homocysteine to evaluate her risk factor for heart as well as bone health. Her level was 13 and optimal is 5-7. I also explained that as we age we have less intrinsic factor in our intestinal tract to absorb oral B12 from our diet and that vegetarians essentially don’t get B12 in their diet so they need to supplement orally.

Pincott... From Page 2 of methylcobalamine can be effective at maintaining serum B12 levels but the injections are the most effective at increasing CSF levels and immediate symptom treatment. Once her symptoms were improved then I would start her on the oral chewable or sublinqual form. Many of us have other risk factors that block the absorption of B12 which include: zinc deﬁciency, high levels of copper and neurotoxins such as alcohol, industrial solvents or halogenated hydrocarbons, mercury and cadmium. Mrs. S did have her serum B12 measured again after a month of injections and her doctor was alarmed at how high it was at 1,476 pmol/L. I assured her that these higher levels reﬂected a more normal level that would now be found in her CSF. Mrs. S was also happy that her energy was improving, along with her sleep and her memory. I also quoted the following research to Mrs. S that showed that B12 prevented brain atrophy. In one study in 2008, 107 elderly people were evaluated for their brain size and found that when serum B12 levels were less than 308 pmol/L that there was an increased rate of brain volume loss. So keeping serum levels of B12 higher than the normal range is optimal. Dr. Ingrid Pincott, naturopathic physician, can be reached at 250286-3655 or www. DrPincott.com

Chance encounter Q. From a Saskatoon, Saskatchewan reader: “Had my parents waited ﬁve minutes or maybe half an hour or longer before having sex that led to my conception, how might I differ from the person I am today?” A. There may have been no fertilization at all. Or if so, likely it would have been the same egg by a different sperm, meaning “you” could have wound up of a different sex, of different physical appearance, personality traits, susceptibility to diseases, and on and on, says Southern Illinois University School of Medicine physiologist Andrzej Bartke. Still, the two you’s would probably resemble each other more closely than just siblings, because half of the genes would have

Bill and Rich Sones Strange But True

been contributed by the same egg. A longer delay in fertilization and implantation, by 1-2 days relative to ovulation, would increase the chance of miscarriage, adds Yale University perinatal researcher Errol R. Norwitz. So, dear reader, count your blessings. Overall, which sperm wins the race is largely a matter of chance. Aldous Huxley described this best... “A million million spermatozoa, All of them alive, Out of this cataclysm but one poor Noah Dare hope to survive, And among that

billion minus one Might have chanced to be Shakespeare, another Newton, a new Donne-But that One was Me.” (circa 1920) Q. If dogs got their paws on the channel selector, what programs would they watch? A. When wellknown magician and skeptic James “Amazing” Randi got wind of a claim that a poodle named Terr was a big TV watcher, he decided to investigate. First he exposed the dog to neutral noncanine videos, then to ones where Lassie came in after the initial three minutes or so. As Randi observed, Terr lost interest quickly when people were depicted, but when Lassie appeared Terr immediately perked up and began

3X7

barking. “Terr would never bite at the image of a person, but only the dog,” reported fellowskeptic Al Seckel in “Laser” magazine. “Terr would also follow the dog’s image across the screen. Terr was able to distinguish a running Lassie when the image was only an inch across. And Terr went positively berserk when a cat appeared on the screen!” Terr, it turned out, wasn’t fond of cartoons but loved nature shows, especially those featuring fellow fourleggers, and would watch for up to an hour. Said an amused Randi: “I wouldn’t have believed it! This dog actually watches TV!”

Sloan dances with the stars CAMPBELL RIVER - When pop superstar Britney Spears calls, you hop on a plane. That’s what C.R. DanceXtreme coowner/artistic director Shawna Sloan did last month when she was offered the job of assistant choreographer on a dance number for the upcoming Britney Spears ‘Femme Fatale’ World Tour. Sloan, who grew up in Campbell River but worked in Los Angeles as a professional dancer, choreographer and teacher for 11

years, flew to Los Angeles in May to work with Spears and her dancers, choreographing the song ‘Up ‘N Down’ from the new Britney Spears album. Sloan was in L.A. for a week teaching the dance moves to Spears and nine backup dancers. “We had to set the choreography on dancer’s bodies,” Sloan said of the intricate number. “There were five cages, including one for Britney, plus four female and five male dancers.”

Sloan was specifically asked to come to L.A. for the job by renowned choreographer Carla Kama, who has worked on world tours for everyone from Britney Spears to Rihanna to Christina Aguilera. Sloan, who owns C.R. DanceXtreme in downtown Campbell River with fellow professional dancer Buddy Mynatt, said it’s important to both of them to keep working professionally in the U.S. and abroad. “I feel like it will give our students

Small businesses receive HST input credits. That means they don‛t end up paying taxes on the goods and services they buy to run their business.

B.C. has the lowest HST rate in Canada, making our province an attractive place to foreign investors and for existing business to expand.

Award. Earlier in May, Sloan and Mynatt traveled to Prince Rupert for the B.C. Annual Dance Competition with four of their solo dancers, who brought home $2,500 in cash prizes as well as several special awards. And, Sloan is headed to Kamloops later this month for the B.C. Performing Arts provincial competition, where two C.R. DanceXtreme dancers - Krystel Cisnero and Ailsa Sirois - will represent Campbell River and the North Island in the intermediate and junior stage categories. The competitive season will wrap up for the year in July when C.R. DanceXtreme’s 50 Showteam members travel to Las Vegas to compete in the West Coast National Finals. To see Sloan, Mynatt and the rest of

C.R. DanceXtreme’s dancers on stage, head to the Tidemark Theatre this week for their show ‘Glitz and Glam - Vegas Style.’ There will be performances Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. with a matinee Saturday at 2 p.m. Thursday and Friday’s shows will focus on the studio’s younger dancers, while Saturday’s two shows will feature the teen and adult students. C.R. DanceXtreme’s Showteam will perform at all four shows and Sloan and Mynatt will dance a contemporary lyrical duet at all four performances. Saturday’s shows will also feature a major ballet work, with Sloan and Mynatt performing a pas de deux. For ticket information, visit www.tidemarktheatre. com, call 250-287PINK.

Consumers have to pay the HST on the end product. But since businesses no longer pay embedded taxes during the manufacturing process, their savings can be passed onto the consumer.

Rob’s up for the challenge to conquer cancer J.R. Rardon Black Press PORT HARDY — Rob Paterson has never considered himself an endurance athlete. But he’s always been up for a challenge with his former co-workers at the decommissioned Utah Copper Mine. So when two of those co-workers — Japp Zwaan and Gib Pierce of Courtenay — asked him to be a part of their Copper Pedalers cycling team in next month’s 200-kilometre Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, he laced up his bike shoes and strapped on his helmet. “These guys were both engineers, and I was active in the lab at the mine,” said Paterson, who is semi-retired but still does occasional consulting for the mining industry. “The departments were always having challenges between them, with fish derbys, soccer matches, baseball games. “There’s still a bit of a challenge there.” Paterson, 63, is quick to point out the real challenge is faced by victims,

survivors and families affected by cancer. The opportunity to test his own physical limits while raising funds for cancer treatment prompted him to join the six-member Copper Pedalers team and substantially increase his workout regimen. The twoday Ride to Conquer Cancer will begin June 18 in Surrey and take riders through the Peace Arch into Washington State. Riders will tour coastal and rural roads before finishing in Redmond, Wash. on June 19. “I was riding 10 to 20 kilometres a week for about a year,” said Paterson, who said he has always tried to stay physically active. “In the early days, when you jump from 20 to 30 kilometres and 30 to 40 kilometres a ride, you feel like you’ve been hit by a bat. I’m not 23 anymore. “It’s been a challenge, but it’s not too bad.” Starting from the waterfront home he shares in Storey’s Beach with wife Irene, Paterson rolls out on a regular basis to follow a training program he keeps on a spreadsheet on his laptop computer.

Alternating speed rides, hill rides and long rides, Paterson has progressed from those 20-km weeks to single rides of up to 105-km. During the first two weeks of May, he covered 186 and 193 kilometres, respectively. As the kilometres have increased, so has the amount of pledged donations team members have gathered for cancer research. As of last Friday, the six-member team had amassed $48,273.78, easily exceeding its initial goal of $37,200 with nearly a month of fundraising remaining. Paterson gathered

$4,540 of that amount himself, relying largely on individual contributions from local residents. “Between Irene and I, we know pretty much the whole town,” Paterson said with a laugh. “It’s mostly individual contributions. We’ve gotten some corporate donations, but probably 95 per cent has been through individuals.” Donations to Paterson or other members of the Copper Pedalers team can be made online at www.conquercancer. ca.

Nine nominations between two Comox Valley artists From Page 8

Helen Austin received ﬁve Vancouver Island Music Award nominations.

stints in Victoria and Nanaimo. Kasper says changing the location to the Valley makes sense as the music business conference takes place between June 22 and 26. “We’re excited to be bringing the event to the Comox Valley ... (the awards) are a smaller version of the Junos ... it’s modelled loosely after those shows. We alternate between a performance of one song by a nominee and a presentation of an award ... and some silliness from the hosts,” he added. In addition to a

Producer of the Year nominee with Scott Feldman, Austin is nominated for Female Songwriter of the Year, Female Vocalist, Album of the Year and Artist of the Year, while Spiller is nominated with Adam Percy for Producer of the Year, Female Songwriter of the Year, Female Vocalist, Song of the Year, and Artist of the Year. VIMA received more than 70 submissions from artists around the Island, and a jury of seven members that includes broadcasters, music directors and singer/songwriters

narrowed down the ﬁnal nominees. Kapers notes the music industry on Vancouver Island is growing, and hopes the awards, in addition to other events which bring musicians and the public together, will help make the public more aware of homegrown talent. “(The industry) is growing little by little. All of us are trying to contribute to that, whether it’s media, the Island music business conference or our events, hopefully it’s all contributing and growing. It’s the type of scene where it’s artistdriven and there’s a lot

of great talent on the Island,” he added. Tickets for the award show are available at the Sid Williams box ofﬁce, or call 250-338-2430. For more information, visit www. islandmusicawards. wordpress.com.
