What is St. John’s Wort?
St. John’s Wort is a herb that has been safely and effectively used for over 2000 years. In more recent times, extensive studies have shown this herb to have anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-depressant and sedative properties. According to Dr. Reuter of the Medical Faculty of the University of Cologne in Germany, the best form to consume St. John’s Wort is in an oil extract. This is due to the complex set of active ingredients, all of which seem to work safely and effectively when taken together. t 4U +PIO T 8PSU 0JM IBT CFFO GPVOE UP DPOUBJO TPNF PG UIF IJHIFTU MFWFMT PG QMBOU NFMBUPOJO UIF TMFFQ IPSNPOF BOE TP BJET JO QSPNPUJOH B EFFQ BOE SFTUGVM TMFFQ t 4U +PIO T 8PSU 0JM BMTP DBO SFUVSO VQTFU TMFFQ QBUUFSOT UP OPSNBM QSFWFOUJOH JOTPNOJB EVF UP KFU MBH t 5IF (FSNBO $PNNJTTJPO & .POPHSBQI TUBUFT UIBU UIF PJM FYUSBDU PG 4U +PIO T 8PSU JT BOUJQIMPHJTUJD NFBOJOH BOUJ JOnBNNBUPSZ BOE BOUJ GFWFS MJLF "TQJSJO PS 5ZMFOPM t )ZQFSJDVN B DPOTUJUVFOU PG 4U +PIO T 8PSU 0JM IBT CFFO GPVOE UP IBWF TJHOJmDBOU BOUJ EFQSFTTBOU FGGFDUT Flora St. John’s Wort Oil contains only the finest extract of whole St. John’s Wort flowers in a base of extra virgin olive oil to maximize effectiveness!

When everyday’s a bad hair, skin and nail day ...... it’s time for Florasil.
It didn’t happen overnight. In fact, it has probably taken years for the signs to become annoyingly visible. Chipped, dull nails. Thin, listless hair that won’t grow long. That breaks off too easily in a hair brush. Tiny and not so tiny wrinkles that have appeared much too early for your stage in life. It’s easy to attribute these problems, plus the invisible deterioration of bones and connective tissue to aging, and to decide to simply live with the inconvenience. In reality the problem could well be a lack of silicon, which is easily corrected. And with respect to bone and connective tissue is much deeper than a cosmetic issue.

continues to increase. At first, churches were automatically exempt from taxes. Then they had to fill out a form each year to claim the exemption. He said since there are 185 NFP’s, the bureaucracy adds staff time and cost to the process. Now one option listed in the KPMG report, he said, adds again to that bureaucracy. Mostafa Mohamed, president of the city’s Muslim Association, said they finally saved enough money to build a worship centre, and now they are being told it will be taxed. “We struggled hard to establish a place of worship,� he said. He added the existence of a place of worship in Prince George helped draw at least 200 international students, primarily from Saudi Arabia, to the city, injecting $500,000 every month into the community. “The city can’t run like a business,� one resident said. “It’s not here to make a profit. Do not tax not-forprofits, tax the people downtown, for crying out loud. They already have enough tax breaks.� Captain Neil Wilkinson said the Salvation Army has been part of Prince George for 92 years. He said the city should celebrate the fact it has 185 not-forprofit organizations. “Celebrate the 185 not-for-profits that make this one of the best communities in all of B.C.,� he said. “Show us your support by not taxing not-for-profits.�

ing as well, by greeting him with an exuberant round of applause. Rogers said the suggestions laid out following the core review are short on revelations and new ideas. The potential impact of some of the proposed changes are questionable. He pointed out that consolidating 9-1-1 services may sound rational, but it was a possibility the city looked into a decade ago, resulting in a document called the Mitchell report which concluded doing so would risk public safety. Janet Bigelow, president of CUPE local 1048 and one of the event organizers, asked why Initiatives Prince George wasn’t scrutinized like other organizations.
“What about IPG? They get $1 million while similar organizations in cities like Chilliwack get $500,000 annually. We have notfor-profits who can’t afford milk, who can’t afford to help the people who need it the most, but we can give IPG $1 million?� Several things could be done to save money that wouldn’t hurt the local not-for-profits, she said. She suggested the city can save money in simple ways, like not adding fluoride to the water, to discontinuing financially supporting the sports centre at the university. The I ‘heart’ PG organization said it intends to continue the conversation started last week by organizing another public meeting soon.
