Celebrating Campbell River’s Young Volunteers April 11th is International Global Youth Services Day. The day to honour and acknowledge the youth in Campbell River that have provided selfless hours to serving others.

Young Volunteers of Campbell River

Campbell River has proven to be a very generous city, it doesn’t stop with business owners, or teachers, or various other supporting adults, there is an abundance of generosity in our Youth. Many kids help in fundraisers to raise money for their schools or sporting clubs, however there are some students that go beyond these circles and serve community and international programs, for the rewarding experience of making someone else’s life better and to just be available to help. Campbell Rivers Young Volunteers can be found in groups such as Interacts (Rotarians 14-18yrs) Job’s Daughters Scout’s Girl Guides Campbell River’s Youth Action Committee Storms Players St John Ambulance

Thanks for jumping in

Discovery Harbour Shopping Centre #164 - 1436 Island Hwy 250-286-6166

Take the time to celebrate youth and the contributions they make throughout the year during Global Youth Service Day.

WhatsOn

health Reshaping Unhealthy Habits We have the ability and the emotional competence to engage in practices that encourage our sense of self-worth. It is sometimes not easy to make the changes that are necessary to improve our lives, and knowing that we need to change habits that keep us in a spiral of selfsabotage and feeling stuck can seem overwhelming. There are strategies that can help you to set goals for positive change - for example, practice the ‘pause’. When you are about to fall into your habitual behavior, learn to pause for a moment and ask yourself the following questions: Will this nourish my body? Will this nourish my spirit? Is this good for me? Is it worth the momentary pleasure? Is it really worth the momentary pleasure?

Another strategy that is helpful if you are using an unhealthy habit to soothe your stress for example, is to replace your habit with something that is actually good for you. Remember that, if unhealthy habits have been part of your daily life for some time, it may take a while to retrain yourself, but you can do it and it will enhance every aspect of your life!

Car Oil and Anti Freeze

Styrofoam

Another common item that is difficult to dispose of correctly is styrofoam, or polystyrene. It is often used to make take out coffee cups, portable coolers and cushioning material for packaging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you have purchased a new television, you have probably had large quantities of it to get rid of. If you have a stockpile of styrofoam sitting around your home or office, you can take it directly to London Drugs, where they will happily take it off your hands and ensure it is disposed of in a green manner.

If you have car oil, anti freeze and oil containers to dispose of, take them to Mobil 1 Lube Express and Jiffy Lube here in town and they will have it collected and recycled GREEN. Oil and anti freeze collected from Mobil 1 Lube Express and Jiffy Lube is collected by another local Island company, who ship it to the lower mainland and Seattle, where it is then recycled back into alternative reusable oil or #6 marine fuel, with very little wastage. For more information on recycling in BC, please visit www.rcbc.ca

Carpet Cleaning can be Green and safe for your pets and family. Many companies, even those who claim to be ‘green’, use harsh, toxic chemicals. These ingredients are not only harmful to aquatic life when they enter the sewer system, but they are also harmful to our health. Our company is different. For example, our pre-spray goes beyond green and is certified food-grade. That’s right - you can drink it! It also works better than most of the heavy-duty chemicals that others are using. Combine this with our powerful truck-mounted cleaning system, and you will have fresh, clean carpet and be helping the planet too!

Nutritious & Delicious We’ve all heard that it’s healthier to steam your veggies instead of microwaving, frying or baking them. Now you can choose a Steam oven that steams your food instead of baking or broiling it. That’s right, you can cook pretty much everything by steam – even muffins! There are several options of steam ovens, some include other cooking methods like convection and microwave. Steaming your food not only gives it a nice, moist texture, steaming also retains more of the nutrition than boiling or baking. It’s ideal for cooking more than just vegetables. The benefit of steaming is the ability to gently cook food at a low heat thus retaining nutrients and palatability, whether cooking meats, poultry, fish or even desserts. It allows users to easily prepare an entire meal – from appetizers to desserts in one oven. Flavour transfer is eliminated as pressurized convection steam creates a protective layer around the food, ensuring your salmon tastes like salmon and desserts stay sweet and delicious, all while cooking simultaneously. For restricted diets, steam ovens are a must. Not only do foods retain nearly all of their nutrients, but steam cooking eliminates the need to use extra fats like butter or oil in preparation. How steam ovens work depend on the model, the new steam ovens can be either stovesized or the size of a microwave. The oven has a detachable water reservoir so it doesn’t need to be hooked to a water supply. According to manufacturers’ cooking a chicken in a steam oven at 100 Celsius would take about 20 minutes instead of a traditional oven. The steam can cook, bake, roast, grill, steam, warm, defrost and even refresh leftovers. Steaming food also means there’s no chance of burning!

V of the month

Apr

A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense: “My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few triﬂing articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb.” “Well put,” the judge replied. “Using your logic, I sentence the defendant’s arm to one year’s imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses.” The defendant smiled. With his lawyer’s assistance he detached his artiﬁcial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.

Pet Foods

Pet Tips Spring plants and flowers Watch out for poisonous plants. Species common at this time of year include lilies, daffodils, spring bulbs and azaleas. If you notice any signs of poisoning such as excessive salivation, vomiting, diarrhoea, appearing ‘drunk’ or even collapsing – then contact your vet immediately.

The garden Dogs love spending time in the garden. Make sure that your garden is safe for your dog and be careful if you need to use any pellets, pesticides or other chemicals. Slug and snail pellets (Metaldehyde) is a common poison we see in dogs. The toxic compound is metaldehyde (not all slug pellets contain metaldehyde) and only small amounts of pellets can cause significant poisoning. Avoid using cocoa shell mulch, it is toxic to dogs (contains the same ingredient as chocolate). Read more about pet proofing your garden.

Wasp and bee stings Most cases of wasp or bee stings are not emergencies. With a bee sting, check and remove the sting if it is still in place, then bathe the area in bicarbonate of soda (one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to 300ml warm water). With wasp stings bathe the area with malt vinegar or lemon juice. If your dog is stung in or near the mouth or neck then you may need to seek veterinary help. Dogs, like humans, can be allergic or become allergic to stings. Signs include swellings, distress and breathing difficulties.

Bugs Make sure your dog is up to date with his vaccinations, flea and tick medications as this is the time of year fleas and ticks start to increase in number.

Allergies Just like people, dogs and cats can develop allergies to plants, pollens, grasses, and many other substances in springtime. Allergies in pets normally appear as itchy skin and ear problems, accompanied by hair loss or inflamed skin. Some pets will even change their behaviour due to irritation. Some will suffer respiratory symptoms or runny eyes.
