Invasive Plant Council gets a helping hand Invasive plants are silently invading spaces and landscapes around our communities. The majority of invasive plants are spread by people who don’t realize the large economic losses they create each year, nor the impact on our natural ecosystems.

By working together across boundaries, the Take Action program will provide employment that will reduce the losses to our local areas. The key focus for Take Action teams is to work with local community members to stop the introduction of new

species to the area. In Canada, over 60 per cent of invasive plants are often introduced by people who are not aware of the impacts of “hidden travelers? on boats and tires or within bird seed and wildflower mixes. Many of BC’s most “unwanted” invasive

plants were actually intentionally planted to beautify backyards or city parks and are today’s invasive headaches. Take Action teams will be placed in communities to identify and remove priority invasive plants before they become established.

It’s a great organization,” Cagna said, adding that Special Olympics pays for coaches’ certification and that volunteers’ costs are covered by Special O. “I came into this organization thinking I was going to give so much — it gave tenfold back. “I think every sport, every athlete, should come in and volunteer for Special Olympics and see what the meaning of true sportsmanship is. It’s just amazing.” CVSO has 80 athletes this year and Cagna said that is about average. However, there is nothing average about the athletes, who have

succeeded on the local, provincial, national and international stage. “We have two athletes going to the Special O. Worlds in Athens (June 25 to July 4) – Mary Wells for track and field and Chris Roberge for softball. Then we have Kerri Derringer going to Western Canada Summer Games (Aug. 5 to 14 in Kamloops) in swimming.” Special Olympics BC notes Derringer will compete in the Special Olympics division and is one of only two females from B.C. who will do so. In the past, three CVSO athletes have medalled at the

Forks For Fundraising sees 15 per cent of food purchases donated to CVSO. A coupon will be published in the Record and it must be presented to the server on any Wednesday,

his year marks the 13th year that Naturopathic Medicine Week (NMW) has been proclaimed in Canada. This is a national annual awareness initiative to teach members of the community about naturopathic medicine, health promotion and disease prevention. Over the course of the week naturopathic doctors across Canada will be providing open house clinic hours as well as public workshops and lectures on topics such as the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. This is to educate the public on the benefits of naturopathic

treatment. A complete listing of events is posted on www.cand.ca and on www.bcna.ca Naturopathic physicians (ND’s) are primary health care providers with seven to eight years of post secondary education who practice safe, effective, science-based natural health care.

Naturopathic medicine week is to help educate the public about the extensive expertise of naturopathic physicians in their role as coach in helping people achieve optimal health and preventing

This means getting out of their comfort zone and regular eating habits and trying new things. I welcome you to my office for Tasting Day/Open House on May 9 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. I will be providing tastes of various foods and recipes from my

website that I find people are reluctant to try. Now is your chance to come in for a taste. Carmen, my technician, will also be offering free candida testing from 10 a.m. to noon. Are you ready for a change in your health? Try naturopathic medicine. Dr. Ingrid Pincott, naturopathic physician, has been practicing since 1985 and can be reached at 250-286-3655 or www.DrPincott.com

Come to my open house May 9 them to take a more proactive part in their health care. It is also the role of the ND, as educator, to sift the wheat from the

North Island grad debuts film Teresa Bird Gazette staff

PORT McNEILL – Colin Vicious, aka Colin Minihan is premiering his first full-length feature film at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York this week. Minihan, a graduate of North Island Secondary, started making short films while still in high school. Now eight years later and aged 25, he has several accomplishments to his credit including film festival accolades and music videos. His latest venture is a horror film titled Grave Encounters, directed by the Vicious Brothers, Colin and friend Stu. The movie is about Lance Preston and the crew of “Grave Encounters”, a ghost-hunting reality television show. They are shooting an episode inside the abandoned

The only difference is that we’ve elevated the production and post

All in the name of good television, they voluntarily lock themselves inside the building for the night and begin a paranormal investigation, capturing everything on camera.They quickly realize that the building is more than just haunted - it

is alive - and it has no intention of ever letting them leave. They find themselves lost in a labyrinth maze of endless hallways and corridors, terrorized by the ghosts of the former patients. They soon begin to question their own sanity, slipping deeper and deeper into the depths of madness, ultimately discovering the truth behind the hospital’s dark past… and taping what turns

out to be their final episode. The movie was filmed on location at the defunct Riverview Hospital, near Vancouver. The 12-day shoot took place in February of
