Food Share looks aheadCameron Orr
After diverting over 105,000 pounds of food from the Kitimat land� ll since they started, the Kitimat Food Share Program is not content to rest on their laurels.
The community service, which is run under the banner of the Kitimat Community Services Society, has plans to expand their de� nition of ‘food share’, which will mean an expanded public market in 2013, and hopefully soon a community garden.
Liz MacDonald, the Food Share co-ordinator, is excited for the programs they have geared for the near future, which includes a weekly – instead of biweekly – market that she said will be expand-ed to include musical acts and a garage sale alley.
But the market is only an aspect of their work, which is even at times built on the work they do distributing food to those who need it. MacDon-ald said two users of the Food Share even became vendors during last year’s market.
So to start, the food comes from the two Kiti-mat grocery stores, Overwaitea and Super Valu, each which provide a wide variety of food items from milk to deli sandwiches.
From there the food is distributed in a num-ber of ways. School-based LINK programs use the food for things like breakfast programs, and the Kitimat youth centre has been receiving food donations as well over the spring break. Food will make its way to Kitamaat Village, and of course people can pick up food at their of� ce in Mounta-inview Square.
The participation in the food share is signi� -cant. MacDonald said there are 597 registered with the organization to collect food, 277 of those are children.
MacDonald said that the users are a great bunch of people and many will turn around and offer their time to help them out.
One of their volunteers, who we’ll not name for their comfort, said that they were happy to do-nate their time to the Food Share during the week because of how much they went above and be-yond in supporting them during some rough times last year.
“They helped me out [last year], I was in real need of food, I was in a bad situation,” the volun-teer said, who added they had no power or water at the time.
The Food Share gave out food and recipes to use on the barbecue, the only way for them to cook at the time without any power.
“They de� nitely went above and beyond in helping me, so I don’t mind volunteering my time here,” the volunteer added.

KUTE faces economic battleCameron Orr
An approved emergency funding request by Kitimat Coun-cil for the Kitimat Understanding the Environment (KUTE) recycling centre will keep the group a� oat as they handle the hurdles of low paper pricing and high labour costs.
KUTE will now get an additional $2,500 a month from the District of Kitimat to offset their shortfalls.
KUTE’s double-whammy includes labour costs that re� ect an increased minimum wage, and employment costs related to a high turnover of staff. As well, the price of cardboard and of� ce paper has tumbled to levels that make it impossible to actually make money, let alone break even.
“We’re losing money as we speak,” said KUTE President Barb Hall. “I’m not trying to make money, I’m just trying to keep the place going.”
In a letter to councillors, Hall outlined the losses the or-ganization has seen since November. In that month they lost $3,319.15, in December they were down $3,132.66, in January it was $2,550.24 and in February they lost $2,793.73.
They’re currently facing a cardboard price of $50 a tonne, which is down from $70 in February last year. Meanwhile of-� ce paper has tumbled from $125 to $60 a tonne.
“We need it to be in the $90 a tonne [range],” said Hall about cardboard. She didn’t say how high of� ce paper would need to go to make money on processing it but said as well it would have to go much higher.
She has no indication on when the price of cardboard might rise again.
“It’s one of those things, how do you know?” she said. “If I knew that, I would be a billionaire.”
Hall notes that last year’s residential cardboard ban is not a signi� cant factor in their money losses.
“It’s not that we have the cardboard ban that is the problem. It’s just that we’re losing money a little bit faster,” she said. “It is a factor but it would happen regardless. We just had so many things happen all at once. All these people leaving so we don’t have real experienced people there either.”
In her letter to council Hall said that KUTE had lost six em-ployees since November 2012, two of those being depot man-agers. In a three week period they had to pay ten weeks worth of holiday pay for outgoing employees, she wrote to council.
“It’s been a tough four months,” she later said over the phone.

Kitimat crime statistics may not be as dire as thought
Councillors want point-person for conflict of interest
Kitimat RCMP staff sergeant Phil Har-rison said the indica-tions some took from the January policing statistics may be off as the overall trend ap-pears to keep in line with 2012.
Relatively high January numbers in some categories of crime had some coun-cillors concerned that considering the early point in the year, crimes may have been on their way up in 2013.
But with Febru-
ary’s statistics now available, he said num-bers are keeping in line with last year where there was a bit of a spike early in the year which tapers off.
The crime with the biggest jump this month is mischief to property under and over $5,000. There were 12 cases reported in Febru-ary, compared to eight for the same month last year.
Even that, he hopes, will follow the curve as last year and level off in
the coming months.“Hopefully the
trend will continue the way it should and drop off,” he said.
There were two sexual assaults in Feb-ruary, exactly as many as there were this time last year.
There was one as-sault with a weapon or assault causing bodily harm, bringing the year up to two, against 2012’s 24 total.
Common assaults are at five, up one from February last year. So
far the only robbery of the year took place in February, while threats against a person is at the same number, five, as it was February last year, bringing this year’s to-tal to 14.
There were busi-ness break and enters, leaving the total at five for the year. There were eight last year.
Residential break and enters are down for the month compared to 2012, at one versus three last year for Feb-ruary.
There was a co-caine trafficking file opened in February, the only one of the year so far. There was also one case of possession of marijuana, bringing the year total up to four.
There were also four impaired driving cases in February, the same as were this time last year.

Councillors want staff to come back with recommenda-tions on a possible appointment of a municipal Conflict of Inter-est commissioner.
The suggestion came from
councillor Mary Murphy, who said the issue of conflicts of interest is becoming more de-tailed and more concerning for all councils.
She acknowledges that the
town already has people with knowledge on conflict of in-terest but the appointment of a person — someone from the town's existing staff — would formalize the process.

It’s April which means it’s time to buy your daffodils, a fundraiser campaign for the Canadian Cancer Society.
Those wishing to pick up their yel-low flowers can do so at the City Centre Mall beginning to-morrow afternoon, and again on the 5th and 6th.
They will be set up on the second floor.
People can call Renate Cole for more information, at 250-632-7359.
In addition to the flowers people are also welcome to buy a yellow pin, money to go to the same cause.
The B.C. govern-ment has released its own independent report on a proposed heavy oil refinery near Kitimat, which concludes that the project has “economic merit.”
The report, by California-based Navi-gant Consulting Inc., examined the proposed refinery design and also assessed markets for re-fined fuels in Asia.
“Such a refinery would provide incremen-tal long-term benefits to the region, compared to export of unfinished feedstock,” the report states.
The consultants rec-ommend that B.C. ap-prove a design for the plant that produces a va-riety of fuels, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. The report endorses a conventional design for the refinery, proposed by Victoria newspaper pub-lisher David Black last summer.
Energy Minister Rich Coleman said the Navigant report cost $40,000, and would be done by the province for any proposal of this scale, through the prov-ince’s major projects of-fice. The Navigant report describes a conventional coking process that ex-tracts a coal-like byprod-uct from heavy oil.

Fire department lauded for smoke detector workCameron Orr
The Kitimat Fire Department was recognized for their work in getting smoke detectors into peo-ple’s homes during a visit by Justice Minister and Attorney General Shirley Bond.
The March 25 visit from Bond to the Kitimat fire hall was an event which also saw speeches, from fire chief Trent Bossence and mayor Joanne Monaghan, to a packed ve-hicle bay of young children there to learn about fire safety.
“I’m trying to encourage com-munities across the province to get on board, like Kitimat, to follow this kind of leadership,” said Bond, about an ongoing program by the fire de-partment to connect pizza delivery to smoke detector delivery.
For several years now, the fire department, together with local busi-nesses, have run a campaign in the summer that meant those ordering a pizza for delivery might have it brought by actual members of the fire de-partment, who will check to see if your smoke detector is working. A passing grade means the pizza is on the house.
The idea was concocted by two summer stu-dents at the fire hall and Bossence said he happily let the project go forward.
He said having young workers in the summer is great because of their ability to think outside the box for new ideas.
He said they’re on track to bring the program back this summer.
“It always feels good when you have recognition for the work that the department’s doing,” he said about Bond’s visit.
Bond said that the local program is quite unique.
“I was certainly drawn to [Kiti-mat’s] program,” she said.
She said her department has fig-ured that if smoke detectors were in all the homes which had a fire that caused a fatality, they could poten-tially save up to ten lives a year.
Mayor Joanne Monaghan said after the press conference that sav-ing people’s properties and lives is
very important to Kitimat’s council and that the community has an excellent and responsive fire department on call.
She said the department’s work in getting smoke detectors into people’s homes is a great program that is also memorable.
The children at the event were given demon-strations on how to use smoke detectors and, per-haps most importantly to them, treats afterwards.
Shirley Bond speaks in the vehicle bay of the Kitimat Fire Department, talking highly of the local department’s efforts to get smoke alarms in people’s homes. Mayor Joanne Monaghan and Fire Chief Trent Bossence also spoke at the event.

Continued from page 1Saying they’re on a “fairly
thin edge,” she said the new money from the District will help keep them just about even as they weather the storm.
The amount is to be re-viewed regularly as conditions change and KUTE does expect their need to go down as condi-
tions improve.Hall said that it isn’t the
first time that KUTE has re-ceived emergency funding and that KUTE did pay money back to the District once conditions changed at that time.
There was little debate at the council meeting to ap-prove the funding, with Mario
Feldhoff essentially saying that money spent on the recycling depot is “well spent” and the motion went quickly to a vote which passed unanimously.
All in all the extra fund-ing will mean an extra $10,000 spent from the District’s 2013 budget, and will come out of the accumulated surplus.

4 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, April 3, 2013
If you are not reading this column in the Northern Sentinel newspaper of April 3, 2013, you may be reading it on the news-paper’s website – where it ap-pears under the heading “Opin-ion.”
It’s important to know that it is opinion because, no matter what an individual reads, watch-es on TV or listens to, he or she is likely to form an opinion about it. And they tend to be interested in ex-changing opinions, proselytizing or defending that opinion.
There’s nothing wrong with be-ing opinionated, but it comes with a price; other people sometimes or of-ten disagree with you and don’t mind telling you they do.
On the other hand, I often get calls at home, or stopped in the street by people who say, “well said! That’s just what I think and wanted to say!”
I don’t pick on world shattering subjects – I see no point in getting involved in such contentious, major, likely unsolvable international issues like same-sex marriage equality, the scary Middle East muddle, (except where Canadians have its armed forces in harm’s way), religious de-bates or even people’s taste in music or hobbies. I say, let people get on with it and do what they want to do
(if lawful) – and if they don’t force an opinion on me.
I like the whirlwind worlds of computers and events of all kind, in the news. I like to focus on local, provincial and federal politics which affect me, my family, my community and my cost of living in retirement. Sports and the entertainment worlds both attract me and repel me at the same time. I’m addicted to watching the National. Rex Murphy isn’t really a hero to me, but I do admire his “way with words” and the direct way he expresses his opinions. Like Rex, I’m horri� ed by government waste (and corruption) at all levels. I am clearly limited in how I can impact it, other than by helping expose it and critique it. That’s what I like to do.
Now, the Harper government is under attack – again -- but this time from inside the party for sti� ing opin-ion – worse, muzzling comment from his own elected MPs. Mr. Harper’s
back shows the target rings for his dictatorial direction of the party from the PMO.
Back-bench MPs are con-cerned they have no real voice in government policy and claim they have been repeatedly muzzled when they want to discuss issues that are of concern to their elec-torate. You can see their point – to be taken off the list of speakers in
Parliament during time allotted for members to raise issues important to their constituency and that removal to be because the “party” does not want your issue discussed, well, that’s dan-gerously close to jackboot govern-ment.
Personally, I like to see these MPs on their feet espousing their causes. Their opinions often show there are enough nut-job right wingers who are so far to the right they are nearly be-hind most people.
Similarly, there’s enough weird small “l’ liberals and socialists around with fruitcake ideas about what government “must” control or the taxpayer should be paying for to offset the loony fringe on the other side of the house.
Still, it’s all a matter of opinion and that’s what our social structure is about.
Continued on page 9
The Conservatives are revolting
Keeping Kitimat in the loop proves hard
It feels like I come around to this topic on a regu-lar basis but it still doesn’t feel like anything changes.
The question is, is Kitimat sometimes left out of decisions regarding itself from other levels of govern-ment?
I had hopes after provincial minister Bill Bennett turned up in Kitimat to talk to the District about plans for future revenue sharing regarding proposed lique-� ed natural gas projects. It’s important for us to keep in the conversation on how we’ll be affected by major projects that the province and the feds seem to want to have happen.
But I also remember last year when some lands that were within the District of Kitimat municipal boundary were suddenly made available for sale or lease options with the Haisla for potential future de-velopments, without the initial knowledge of anyone within the District, or at least the council.
I had written at that time that it wasn’t necessarily a bad plan, but curious that the District didn’t know about it, being that it apparently involved their land.
Eventually though it blew over and things ap-peared to go back on course.
But then Joe Oliver makes an announcement in Vancouver about tanker safety in Canadian waters and a statement is made that Kitimat will become a public port.
Well that’s major, isn’t it?Except no one seemed to know. The mayor cer-
tainly didn’t.Since that � rst announcement was made, clari� ca-
tions made their way to us at the paper and to coun-cillors. Turning our port to public — which seems to essentially mean Kitimat will be subject to more stringent traf� c controls in the water — will involve consultation with stakeholders, including the District and other users.
Being in the communication business, I can’t help but feel some more carefully worded language would have prevented so much confusion. “Intention” to es-tablish a public port may have worked better than sim-ply stating that Kitimat would be the � rst to get the designation.
It just smacks of a bit of arrogance to make these kinds of statements without any form of consultation, even if just the initial leg work.
And of course, Kitimat bills itself a private port. It’s all over the economic development sections of the District’s of� cial website. There are implications even in just how the town markets itself.
Governments should be encouraged to have a few conversations before they make “good news” an-nouncements. It’s better for everyone.

Working together bringing the news to you.
The Leisure Services Depart-ment warned council of possible structural problems in the River-lodge bunkhouse and asked for $20,000 to study the pilings un-derneath the building at a recent council meeting.
This came after council origi-nally voted to defer the cost of the study to the next budget year.
But Leisure Services took another kick at the cat, hoping to source a series of issues plaguing the aging building.
“The issue is we believe there could be an issue beneath the building,” said Leisure Services Director Martin Gould.
The $20,000 cost comes from the estimates given by two com-panies last year, said Gould, also adding that there is asbestos in parts of the building that District staff are not quali� ed to handle.
(The cost to train staff for as-bestos is also very high, he add-ed.)
The District's report to coun-
cil note the discovery in May 2012 of several issues in the building.
“It was noted that windows in the of� ces had begun separating from the building, the doors to the meeting room suddenly required adjustment as they were rubbing on the carpet and a crack had ap-peared in the drywall of the Art Wing,” read the report.
Workers had gone to the building's attic but they couldn't � nd anything up there that could have caused any issues.
However no one looked at the pilings under the building “as the area is considered a moderate risk asbestos zone.”
The report added that when the Seniors Centre and Youth Centre had a sun deck added to the building in 2010, rotting of several pilings and support beams was discovered.
The pilings under the Art Wing and the Senior and Youth Centre have not been thoroughly inspected since 1979 when they
were � rst installed, the report notes.
The department wants the study done this year in order to ei-ther quickly identify major prob-lems or to plan for work in 2014.
One of council's most careful managers of money, Mario Feld-hoff, came around to the idea that the study will allow certainty on how to move forward with pos-sible future repairs.
Council approved the motion with a unanimous vote.

More RTA emission concernsDear Sir:
I am extremely concerned about Alcan’s re-cent application to almost double its sulphur diox-ide emissions in connection with their moderniza-tion program.
This application is for an increase of sulphur dioxide emissions from 27 mg/d to 42 mg/d. Ter-race was recently cited as one of the top 10 cities in the world for air quality and this is one of the reasons many of us who live here, choose to live here.
Alcan’s proposed sharp increase in sulphur dioxide emissions will eliminate this advantage and ruin our pristine en-vironment. It will not only negatively affect the air we breathe and our health outcomes, but our environment more generally and our agricultural productivity, just as we recently undertook an ag-ricultural area plan to promote the growth of agri-culture in our area.
The world is already rampant with environ-mental externalities that negatively affect health outcomes and agricultural productivity, for which offending producers and consumers bear no pe-cuniary responsibility. The global environmental situation has become particularly precarious in recent years.
Environmental sustainability and the health and survival of our ecosystem and species can only be supported if our elected representatives are vigilant and insure that negative externalities are brought under control. Our elected representa-tives have the opportunity to do this by insuring that Alcan’s application for an increase in sulphur dioxide emissions is denied.
Alcan can undoubtedly maintain its sulphur dioxide emissions at the existing levels. Yes, it will not be free to do so. But Alcan and its cus-tomers should bear that cost, not the local resi-dents, farmers, and ecosystem.
I therefore respectfully request that our elect-ed representatives, the Ministers of Environment, Agriculture, and Health, their opposition critics, and our MLA represent us and insure that Alcan’s
application to increase its sulphur dioxide emissions is denied.
If this application is going to be prevented, we in Terrace and Kitimat
need to let our elected representatives know our concerns. If you would like to share your con-cerns with them, they can be reached at:
Honourable Norm Letnick, Minister of Agri-culture, [email protected]
Lana Popham, MLA, Critic for Agriculture, [email protected]
Honourable Terry Lake, Minister of Environ-ment, [email protected]

Cameron OrrTwo Kitimat residents are encour-
aging Kitimat Council to set up a town hall meeting that would bring together all the proponents of developments for town.
Luella Froess spoke to council on behalf of herself and Barb Campbell, and said that there would be many inter-ested in such a town hall meeting.
Outlining a list of concerns and interests for the town, she began with questioning the proposed PTI Group work lodge concept for near the down-town area.
“We are not happy about having a camp or camps in town and are wonder-ing why the proposed PTI Lodge has to be in the downtown area,” Froess said
to council.She wondered if Kitimat has no
other space than where it’s proposed to be built — east of the Kitimat Hospital — or Kitimat Council is worried they may relocate to the Terrace industrial park.
She also wondered if the many der-elict buildings in town could potentially be torn down and replaced with perma-nent homes or apartments.
Froess also said that affordable housing must be kept in mind, and asked if the community would still be promoted as a retirement community.
“Already we do not have enough doctors/nurses and other specialists in town to cover the care that is currently needed, let alone to cover the care of
more people moving into town,” she also said in her presentation.
Encouraging young families to relo-cate to Kitimat is another area of con-cern for Froess and Campbell, circling back to the need for affordable housing and available educational opportunities.
With this year being a year of re-view for the Of� cial Community Plan, both Froess and Campbell hope for an open community effort.
“Let us ensure we make the best de-cisions for Kitimat now and for the fu-ture,” she said.
Councillors didn’t discuss the points of the submission but received it for in-formation, with the understanding that the suggestions would be used in pre-paring for any future town hall meeting.

Continued from page 1MacDonald said it isn’t the
only story of people who have given back.
“Nobody wants to take any-thing for free,” she said. “And if they have the ability to give back they feel a little better.”
When the public market re-turns again this year — expect-edly in May — she said it will-partially be a fundraiser for the Food Share.
By being open every Sun-day she also hopes to catch all of the shift workers they may have missed last year.
But people loved it, and she said they plan to expand with live musical acts, as well as spreading the market out to have the vendors in the parking lot like last year, the food ven-dors through the pedestrian area and a nearby garage sale alley.
She hopes by having ga-rage sales centralized, fuel will also be spared by people driving throughout town seeking sales.
Meanwhile they hope to get a community garden started,
potentially this year. They had initially eyed a grassy spot just outside their office but may move their plans closer to the college so as to not affect the area for their markets; a lot of people liked the grassy spot to sit down to have their lunch on market days.
The garden, initially, will likely be a teaching garden but is expected to later be divided into plots for individuals to gar-den.
MacDonald said there are other plans in the works throughout Kitimat Community Services to help get a handle on an influx of people.
They hope to establish a Community Action Centre, which will provide several ser-vices, such as helping people with literacy issues to fill out es-sential paperwork, like Employ-ment Insurance forms.
It will fill a gap that can’t currently be serviced by the Employment Services Centre, said MacDonald. It will also be the first step to a potential tran-
sitional housing program.MacDonald personally
thinks it’s a better solution than things like a full-on homeless shelter. The idea would be a place, like an apartment, that people can be placed in for just a few days at a time, if they have come to town for work but have no place to stay.
MacDonald said that the Mayor and Council have been working with them to create plans to address the issues fac-ing town.
Mayor Joanne Monaghan said the council is pro-active in their approach to changes in the community and do want some of KCSS’s proposals to go ahead.
“We as Kitimat need to be prepared and we have set up some committees to try to be prepared,” she said. “The big thing is that council and myself have acknowledged that this is happening and the need is there and we would like to work with the Kitimat Community Ser-vices society to look at these issues.”
Kitimat Food Share
Charlee McNab and Heather Gronning
On February 22 the Girl Guide units of Kiti-mat celebrated Think-ing Day by marching through the mall, do-nating non-perishable food items to the local food bank and holding a campfire gathering.
This important day marks the birthday of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell, and along with Agnes Baden-Powell, these three individuals created what we call Scouting and Guiding.
Guides celebrate Thinking Day
“Girl Guides has helped me learn more about the outdoors and health.”
— Isabelle Moretti. “Girl Guides has given me many fun
experiences and new friendships” — Emily McIntosh.“[Girl Guides] has given me a
chance to travel and meet other girls from other places.”
— Aveanna Rice.“Girl Guides has given me a chance
to associate with more girls and make new friends.”
— Merriella Sluyter.

Every Canadian of a certain age remembers the day the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska. It was a tragic day and one which marked a turning point for marine shipping along British Columbia’s coastline.
Following the Exxon spill, the marine shipping industry in Canada and worldwide began to rethink virtually every aspect of its business. It wasn’t easy. But it was absolutely necessary. And looking back 24 years later, the industry has taken great strides to ensure another catastrophic spill never happens again.
Nowhere is our progress more evident than in the way we are approaching the Northern Gateway Pipeline. The standards it will be built and operated to far exceed anything ever contemplated a generation ago.
Like similar facilities in Norway and Scotland, every tanker calling on Northern Gateway’s marine terminal will be double-hulled, and adhere to stringent standards. That means no tankers older than 20 years will be allowed to operate. It means every tanker must carry the most advanced navigational technology and be crewed by only the most highly
trained professionals. And it means that laden tankers will have two tugs escorting them, one tethered.
Our goal: to reduce the risk of a spill to as close to zero as possible. And if a spill does occur, our tug escorts will provide immediate fi rst response to minimize the impact on the environment while our full emergency response is quickly brought to bear. Our response program will greatly enhance safety for all marine traffi c on B.C.’s north coast.
We hope all Canadians recognize that the Exxon Valdez spill resulted in real and lasting change. For Canada’s oil marine shipping industry, the events of that day 24 years ago marked a moment of profound change. As a result, British Columbians can benefi t from the enormous economic opportunity our industry generates, while being confi dent that our environment is protected.

Baden-Powell a happy birthday and thank the Baden-Powell trio for giving the world Scouting and Guiding.
Girl Guides of Can-ada strives to give girls leadership and life skills that they can use throughout their lives.
Guide Leaders Heather Gronning and Charlee McNab said that being leaders has been a wonderful ex-perience, and it gave them the opportunity to inspire girls to be con-fident, resourceful and courageous.
In the spirit of World Thinking day the local Guides would like to wish Lord and Lady

Five Steps to Good Oral Health
Healthy teeth...healthy bodies. Did you know that keeping your gums and teeth healthy will lower your risk of stroke, heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer?1. See your dentist regularly2. Brush and fl oss daily3. Eat a well-balanced diet4. Check your mouth regularly for signs of
gum disease and oral cancer5. Avoid all tobacco products
Remember there is a connection between good oral health and overall health. April is National Oral Health Month™ so talk to your dentist about the reasons why.
More information is available on the Canadian Dental Association website at www.cda-adc.ca.
Oral Health MonthEven today with advancements in oral care, it is estimated that 57% of kids aged 6 to 11 years have cavities. This number increases to 59% for teenagers.Specialists tell us however, that if we pay just a
little extra attention to daily oral hygiene habits, all children can grow up cavity-free. The care you teach them now will last a lifetime, so take a look at these helpful tips:12-24 Months: Begin regular dental visits by age one. Teach a toddler about dental hygiene when the fi rst teeth come through. Children should get used to holding a toothbrush and should watch others as they brush. Let them practice brushing, but continue brushing their teeth for them. Begin fl ossing when most of the baby teeth are in.
2-5 Years: Teach young children to use no more than a pea-size amount of toothpaste and make sure they do not eat it. Continue to brush and fl oss their teeth for them. Avoid sugary sweet treats.6 + Years: Encourage children to begin fl ossing. Your dental hygienist will demonstrate proper technique. Continue to supervise brushing and fl ossing. The surface of your child’s permanent molars may be sealed with a light coating to prevent cavities in the deep fi ssure and grooves of the teeth. Keep a record of any accidents or falls that could affect the placement or condition of permanent teeth. – (News Canada)More information about oral care is available at: www.newscanada.com, or at the Canadian Dental Association website: www.cda-adc.ca
April is...
Continued from page 4Environmental climate-change die-hards abound. The airwaves are
overloaded with fanatical religious extremists and abortion advocates and abolitionists are rampant and vocal. Why are there so many men determined to legislate what women may or may not do with their own bodies? Is this Afghanistan?
Under our system, these people are all suf� ciently free to stick their feet in their mouths at any time. It is enough to warn us of the dangers. But it still all makes you wonder if the lid is coming off.
Harper no doubt will continue to stone-wall the back benchers in Ques-tion Period and in caucus. He’ll deny the existence of some revolting Con-servatives. He will undoubtedly discipline or punish them in other ways be-hind the scenes.
The NDP and the Liberals will bay at the moon. I saw Nathan Cullen was swift to get before a camera to declare this is not Canadian democracy. I still wonder what he thinks about out-of-town NDP election candidates in Quebec who did not campaign or were not even in the country when they were elected. Is that Canadian democracy or just an embarrassment for a different party?

Next show at MET will have you seeing RedSubmitted
Red Chamber is hot. Steamy hot. Whether it is fast and furious string band mu-
sic, sultry Imperial Court classics, or cutting-edge contemporary creations, Red Chamber’s passion-ate energy embodies every note.
Canada’s Red Chamber features four virtuo-sic performers that have collectively become an innovative powerhouse in the international music scene, with concert tours from Europe’s top con-cert halls to Asia’s premiere International festivals.
Red Chamber takes its inspiration from the rare traditional Chinese “Plucked String” reper-toire to present a captivatingly unique program embracing string band music spanning cen-turies, a host of world cultures, and a myriad of musical genres. Con-summate performers, their superb virtuosity is exempli� ed in perfor-mances of ancient Chi-nese Court music from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), to contemporary Canadian compositions, and an intriguing range of other works includ-ing Balkan, Gypsy jazz, American Old-Timey and Bluegrass.
The quartet is led by Mei Han, celebrated for making the Chi-nese zither whisper and growl, is heralded as the “Zheng Master” (Mon-treal Gazette).
She is joined by Guilian Liu, internation-ally recognized as one of the world’s premiere pipa (Chinese lute)
players, Zhimin Yu, established as the only ruan (bass lute) virtuoso in North America, and award-winning multi-instrumentalist Geling Jiang.
This outstanding ensemble of seasoned inter-national performers is constantly stretching the boundaries of traditional Chinese instruments, bringing them to the world stage to perform music at its � nest. With dazzling technique, alluring pre-sentations, and exceptional musical experiences that heed no limits, Red Chamber’s concerts are absolutely not to be missed.
Tickets are available at the theatre on the night of the concert (April 12, at 8 p.m.) or at Holly-wood Video.

Haisla girls earn top spot in Jr. ANT
The Haisla Junior Girls won big at the Junior All Native Basketball provincial championships in mid-March, which was hosted in the four vil-lages of the Nisga’a Nation.
The team played six games throughout the week, against the Okanagan, Old Masset, Kinco-lith and Hesquiaht.
The Haisla girls would face the Okanagan team again in the semi-� nals,= but would advance to the � nals after defeating them 68-49.
The Haisla Girls were set for a re-match with the Hesquiaht Storm for the � nal, and the local girls came out with a strong defence that could not be penetrated.
Team manager Margaret Grant said the team took the lead and never looked back, in an e-mail to the Sentinel.
In addition to their team championship ban-
