Rupert All-Candidates Debate, Part 2 By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View The second half of the debate featured questions from the audience, but because each candidate was given an opportunity to respond, there was only time for three questions. Canadian Action Party candidate Maggie Braun when asked what her party had to offer young people, said better education where teachers can be more inspiring is crucial. “I think also offering them, and they may not completely understand this because they don’t teach this in school very often, a restored sovereign country capable of making its own laws would be wonderful. Also restoring our charter if rights to what it was intended,” Braun said. Taylor said education extends beyond the walls of the school, begins in the womb and continues to the grave and proposed interest free student loans and no repayment for the first ten years after completion.

After the debate local reactions were varied. Jan Jesser said he felt there wasn’t a real discussion about the issues, but that was symptomatic of the entire election campaign. “There wasn’t anything to really get excited about,” Jesser commented. Lorne Clerihue, sporting a Nathan Cullen button, said he felt Cullen had done the best, but praised the others for their contributions. “I think Nathan did extremely well. It’s kind of embarrassing because he was the best speaker and had the best platform, but it was interesting to see what some of the smaller parties had to say and I think the young Liberal did well,” Cleriihue said. Liberal party support Corina Mohart described the debate as very well represented. “I’ve talked to all the candidates and I think it was very nerve racking, especially for people running for the first time. But I think they all did wonderful and covered a lot of the issues that are important to this region,” she said.

By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View Ken Minifie of Kitimat, a Conservative party member, pinpointed two specific issues raised in the debate that were significant. “That comment from Maggie Braun about the Bank of Canada producing money was so,” Minifie said, pausing mid-sentence and shaking his head. “ W h e n they printed money in Germany after the war, it got to the point where they had to have a million marks for a loaf of bread so

NEW GREEK MENU AT ZORBAS AUTHENTIC GREEK CHEF After 9 Specials Pizza & Full Pasta Buy 1 get one 1/2 price * Highest Price Charged

they kept printing money. It just doesn’t function, you have to have some standards for the price of money, it’s inevitable.” His second point was a reaction to Cullen’s comment that the Senate turned down a bill on climate change that had been passed in parliament and worked on for five years. “Canada produces two percent of the world’s greenhouse gases and if we cut our emissions by one percent, the number of job losses would be in the millions. We couldn’t function. One of the reasons Canada does not feel too hard about climate change is compared to China and Russia and all of Europe, we don’t produce any greenhouse gas. That’s why the Senate didn’t want consider it, because it was going to be so significantly damaging to the economy that we couldn’t afford it,” Minifie said. CityWest was there televising the debate and people who missed it can catch it on Channel 10.

father, Randolph Dundas, and for the attempted murder of his unlce Arthur Reece as well. On top of that, Dundas is banned from owning a firearm for the rest of his life. On August 8, 2009 police found Dundas’ father and uncle in a Prince Rupert apartment, both had been stabbed by Edward Dundas. The father died, but Reece survived despite receiving 13 stab wounds. Police arrested Dundas a few days later. The attacks were not premeditated, and so Dundas was charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder, which he pled guilty to last January. The judge agreed with a plea bargain of a concurrent sentence life in prison without eligibility for parole for 10 years, for both crimes. During the sentencing hearing Dundas expressed remorse for his actions, and his council read a letter he wrote to apologize to his uncle.

OPINION

MY VIEW…

Hey young people, GO VOTE! Today I want to talk about voting, or specifically the lack of it, by one of this country’s most overlooked, poorest, unrepresented, drowning in debt, under-employed, stressed-out, and worst of all, the most apathetic demographic in the entire country: young people. I personally never had any problem becoming interested in politics. The political bug bit me when I was about 13, and I spent my teenaged years following politics religiously and agonizing over the fact that I was not allowed to vote yet. Now I work for a newspaper and when the election was called it might as well have been Christmas morning. Mine is certainly not the common experience for people my generation, or for most sane people of any generation, really. But the degree to which my generation refuses engage in the political sphere is staggering. One of the most common things we hear is that “voting just isn’t my thing,” as though democracy is a hobby that you’re either into or you aren’t. Some members of older generations say this lack of interest is because we are all self-absorbed, entitled, lazy little jerks. The only response to that is this: democratic politics in a very fundamental way runs on the principle of “what’s in it for me?” If we really were the entitled little brats that people say we are, then we would already be one of this country’s strongest voting blocs. The real problem is that there isn’t anything in it for us. Political parties make only the most token of efforts to try to get young people to vote for them. What they do promise is almost always only about education – a good start, mind you – and despite this, it’s still marketed to our parents. When the Liberals talk about their “Family Pack” it doesn’t do much for those of

us who have no interest in starting families any time soon. The degree to which we’re ignored is astounding. Federal politicians make a more visible effort chasing after the Jewish vote, despite the fact that Jews make up only slightly more than one per cent of Canada’s population while people under 25 years old make up nearly 10 per cent. The difference being, middle-class Jewish families actually vote. That’s the real problem, because we don’t vote politicians don’t try to engage us, and because they don’t engage us, we don’t vote. It’s a vicious little cycle. So here’s my advice to people my age: break the cycle, GO VOTE. Do you want to know why tuition is so expensive? Because young people don’t vote. Why no serious candidate talks about legalizing marijuana? Because young people don’t vote. Why young men pay ridiculously unfair prices for car insurance? Because young men don’t vote. Do you care about gay rights? Then go vote. Do you care about the environment? Then go vote. Can’t find any jobs that will hire young people? Then go

vote. Are your taxes too high while people with kids seem to get all the tax breaks? Then go vote. I don’t care if you don’t know who to vote for, it doesn’t matter, go in and spoil your ballot for all I care (or ideally, go check out our voting guide, Pages 3 - 5). What’s important is that your name and age show up on the list of who voted. Once the political powers-that-be see that people our age do vote, I guarantee that next election college campuses will be as popular as a nursing home. Seriously, do us all a favour. On May 2nd, get off your ass and go vote. Do it.

~ Alan S. Hale

The details are important for the vistor experience When we see things every day, no matter what sense of wonder we felt when we first saw them, they gradually become commonplace. This theme arises in many of my conversations. We are lucky, at Tourism Prince Rupert, because we are repeatedly reminded by visitors of how magical this place can seem. I will stop to allow a family of deer to cross the street at a crosswalk, giving it no more thought than I would if it were a human family. Over the past while we’ve seen whales, porpoises and sea lions in the harbour with some regularity. We take these things for granted. For the visitor these things are extraordinary. The visitor, before even seeing these things, is already struck by far simpler things, things that completely escape our notice. When we hear, “Gosh, it sure is <I>green<I> here,” we stop, see again with fresh eyes, and think, yes, it is very green here compared to most of the places from which our visitors come. We are, after all, a coastal rainforest.

Eagles, subtle within the spectacular. again sometimes lost on jaded A wildlife watching trip is local eyes, can themselves be a good example. It is easy a highlight.

For those we live. But if you’ve never seen who don’t live here, either of these opportunities would surely be seen as it from the water before before, then Prince a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But thinking Rupert leaves an enchanting first impression – beyond what the visitor is buying, that whale a city growing from a forested mountainside. or grizzly watching trip, and dissecting And I’m sure that most of us still smile at the that single experience to truly understand sight of a seal, or sea lion or porpoise, but a the memories carried away by the traveler, glimpse of any one of these might again be one can easily understand how this special enough to have made the trip. experience can be elevated to one of life’s Lucy Island and Green Island lighthouses great memories. often make an appearance in a wildlife So imagine that trip with one of our watching excursion. Again, to those often wildlife operators, but try to see it with fresh on the water, they are “just there.” But

lighthouses by themselves can draw visitors by the score. They have a powerful mystique. Travel to view and photograph lighthouses, or even just collecting images or replicas of lighthouses, for many people symbolizes coastal living – a romantic ideal. Putting this all together, one can see how the entire experience not only delivered upon expectations (often featuring whales en route to the Khutzeymateen, or a grizzly spotted on a whale watching trip), but exceeded expectations in so many different ways. For, say, a cruise ship passenger who experienced nothing else here except this excursion, they will dream of Prince Rupert, talk to their friends about Prince Rupert, and spread a powerful and positive message. We tend to overlook these things that are familiar to us. It’s been my experience that working in the tourism industry keeps these familiar things top of mind, and makes us more appreciative of what an amazing place this really is.

Letters to the Editor

Editor: Re: Candidates face elctorate, April 22 Northern Connector As the fiscal year comes to an end for the Canadian Government, it appears we will have run about a $30 Billion dollar deficit. Interestingly this year we will pay about $31 Billion dollars in interest to private banks on our already existing $500 Billion debt. Now obviously your thinking wouldn’t it be great if we did not have to pay this continuous interest payment year after year digging ourselves deeper into debt and put it to use towards our ailing health care system, education, or any other under funded programs. This scenario is not a fairy tale; in fact it is the way things were prior to 1975. From its creation in 1935 to 1975 the Bank of Canada which is wholly owned by the people of Canada was successfully used to fund infrastructure, social programs, health and education for the benefit of all Canadians. Unfortunately, since Canada adopted Milton Friedman’s theory of Monetarism in 1974, Canada has gone through the private banking

It is important to understand that 95 per cent of the money in circulation was lent into existence by private banks as interest bearing debt. The remaining 5% is actual physical money printed on behalf of the Bank of Canada to provide a monetary base for the fractional reserve system we are currently using. This means that for every single physical or cash dollar deposited into a private bank it can then loan out 20 dollars, thus “creating” 19 dollars out of thin

Once the GCM starts to flow to various levels of government they in turn pay off their interest bearing private debts, therefore instantly removing the privately created money from circulation thus maintaining the same amount of money in the system. Inflation is not who creates money it is how much money is in the system. So in short the choice is clear we can have our government borrow money from

We would do this incrementally until at least 50 per cent of the total money supply be government created money (GCM) through the Bank of Canada. This would be accomplished by The Bank of Canada Act section 18 sets out the banks’ authority for lending to our governments at nearly 0 per cent interest. In short, it states that the Bank of Canada may make loans to the Government of Canada or to any of the provinces who in

A ground search was being

conducted by community members of Metlakatla at the time the call was made to the RCMP. The Prince Rupert RCMP initiated contact with Search and Rescue and Provincial Emergency Program (P.E.P.).

District 52 holds consultation meeting in Port Edward By Martina Perry The Northern View Last week School District 52 held a public consultation meeting for the potential closure of Port Edward Elementary School as part of school closure process that states a public consultation meeting must be held within 60 days of the first two bylaw meetings. There previously had been another public consultation meeting held last year due to the fact that this is not the first bylaw that was created for the same reason, a possible closure of the school. Some reasons the board had for the potential closure of the school includes the fact that the current building is far too large and costs too much for the small amount of children that attend it. This year there are 45 students attending the school, with next school year’s estimated enrollment number being 38. Additionally the district needs to

reduce its carbon emissions and take into account of what else the finances could be spent on such as being put into the remaining schools in the district. Several people in attendance felt strongly against the closure of the school, and were vocal about it. Some concerns members of the Port Edward community had included the fact that kindergarten to grade 5 students would travel into Prince Rupert. Some parents were very vocal about their concerns with safety, and the fact that there would not be supervision on the daily ride. Other concerns included the idea of a vacant building with boarded up windows in the community that would undoubtedly be tempting for vandals, as well as the fact they like having a small classroom environment because they feel it is a more personal form of learning. The board reiterated the fact that they do hope a school stays in

Port Edward, and have proved that by not passing the previous bylaw that would have the school closed down at the end of this year. The board told people that they aren’t against the idea of a school in Port Edward, just the current building as it is far too large and would mean less money for all of the other schools in the district. The trustees all unanimously voted against having the school close this year at a special meeting held earlier this month. The board encouraged people living in Port Edward to vote in favor of the referendum that would let the district borrow up to two million dollars to create a new school. What could possibly help ease worried community member’s minds would be the creation of a new school for the district, which would be added on to the community centre. Members of the Port Edward city council have been pushing towards the creation of a smaller school for quite some time and encourage people to vote in favor

of a referendum on May 7th that would let the district borrow two million dollars to build the new school. W r i t t e n submissions to the board on any concerns, suggestions or comments people may have are encouraged. People can contact the board by emailing either Superintendent Lynn Hauptman at lhauptman@ sd52.bc.ca or Secretary Treasurer Cam McIntyre at cmcintyre@sd52. bc.ca.

Northern Paradise theme for Seafest By Martina Perry The Northern View Each year Prince Rupert locals look forward to the annual summer event, Seafest that has been held since 1978, a weekend full of fun activities, food and vender booths, entertainment and more. This year families can partake in the 33rd annual Seafest starting Thursday, June 8 until Sunday, June 12 in the Northern Paradise theme. This year many popular events will be returning such as the arm wrestling competitions, the parade, three on three basketball games, quick and daring races, and sail past. Entertainment this year will include The Naden band of the Maritime Forces Pacific based out of Victoria, who will be a returning group this year and will be performing in the parade, downtown and the waterfront. Also, The Woodwind Quintet will be performing on Friday night at the United Church, a group that has drawn people from all over the northwest to come see them. As well, the Special Events Society will be putting on popular kids events such as the soapbox derby and bullhead fishing derby to ensure all members of the family have a pleasurable and enjoyable experience at Seafest. Organizations, businesses and individuals will be putting their artistic skills to the test for the annual

parade that will follow with Northern Paradise theme. People or business wishing to enter a float into the parade can do so by contacting the Special Events Society office at 250-624-9118 for an entry form, or downloading an entry form from www.prspecialevents. com. Additionally, the Special Events Society would like to let potential venders know that there are still vender opportunities available on a first come first serve basis. There are usually around thirty spots available, with close to half of those spots being filled already. Anyone wishing to help out in anyway for Seafest is encouraged to call the Special Events Society, and they will be told when the next meeting for Seafest volunteers will be.

entirely from contributions made by local Prince Rupert businesses. Some of the big events for the festival will be the gala on Saturday where the best dancers from the festival will be performing, and the extreme dance off held the following night.

The festival is also one of the only left in the province that is still non-profit, so while attending the festival does cost money, it only goes to cover costs, say the organizers. A week-long pass is $40, attending an morning or afternoon is $2, evenings are $5, and the Gala will be $20.

200 young dancers from communities such as Prince George, Terrace and Campbell River are expected to come to the city to participate in the 21st Annual BC Dance Competition which starts May 1st, The festival is being held all week long at the Lester Centre of the Arts and will features hours and hours of talented young dancers competing in styles as diverse as Hip Hop to Musical Theatre. According to organizers, the judges of the competition have come all the way from Australia and one of the prizes to be won will be a trip to go Down Under. There are $55,000 worth of prizes and scholarships to be won by the dancers, which is supposedly the most given out by any dance festival of this Phone 250-627-1561 Fax: 250-627-8881 kind in North America. 601 2ND AVENUE WEST, PRINCE RUPERT The money was raised

Mailbox of sorts returns to Seniors Housing complex

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked if we could get a small mailbox there and we have.â&#x20AC;?

Allen said the day after the mailbox was erected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This morning four women at the Seniors Centre came up and told me they live around the corner and were happy to see the mailbox there,â&#x20AC;? Allen said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small box, not one of the ones that customers sort the mail into local or other destinations, but Allen said it will do. Allen canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide his feelings of triumph and said he viewed the initial removal of the mailboxes as an assault on seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grey power is something you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to argue with because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got more money and time than you people will be ever able to emulate.

As seniors, he added, the residents have paid 1200 years of taxes and Canada Post is taking away a $50 Janet Beil mailbox. For Canada Post it was a matter of taking a box that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being utilized heavily to serve an area that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have mailboxes. There is another set of mailboxes two blocks away at the clinic located on McBride and Fifth Avenue and it was felt the neighbourhood was still being served.

◆ FOR THE LOVE OF WINE

Homemade Hamburgers and a chance to enjoy big reds By Andrea Pollock The Northern View

For the past few weeks I have been enjoying the mild weather with a little BBQ action. One of my favourite things to make is homemade hamburgers because you can really freshen them up with spur of the moment toppings that you feel inspired to eat. It’s also a perfect meal for big red wines packed with flavour since homemade beef burgers are full of strong flavours. My homemade burger recipe is pretty simple, some lean ground beef seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper, some very finely diced white onion (enough that you will see it throughout the burger) and a hefty amount of Worchestershire sauce (I love that stuff). I also add a little squirt of BBQ sauce to my burger mixture and then massage it all together by hand. I like very thick burgers that eat like a whole meal, so if you try to make them this way just be sure to cook them all the way through, because it can take a little while. You don’t want to

manner. RTI exercised an option and has acquired 35 acres of land from the PRPA. Improving that land to a standard we require will several months,” he said. “WorleyParsons, RTI’s lead engineers are well along with their design work.” As well as the land, Smith says the company has secured not one but two new dumper systems for installation at the facility. “Ridley has procured a new dumper system to replace our current system. That new system will be installed during December 2011 and will grow our capacity by a small but important amount once it is in operation,” he explained, noting that full completion of the expansion is scheduled for 2014/2015. “RTI has recently contracted to acquire a new third stacker/reclaimer which we will install during the late third

or early fourth quarter of calendar 2012. That installation will further grow our capacity. And as expansion continues, Smith says there are a few factors that have been critical to the company continues with the project. “There can be no question two factors are central to RTI’s ability to create new jobs at Prince Rupert by growing RTI. They are the speed with which Minister Flaherty obtained approval from Treasury Board for the borrowing, despite the Budget not being approved, and the solid support RTI receives from the greater Prince Rupert community,” he said. “Both are valued. Both are appreciated. Both mean RTI’s expansion is moving forward.”

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

Despite throwing his support behind candidate John Horgan during the provincial NDP leadership race, North Coast MLA Gary Coons says he is more than prepared to work with new leader Adrian Dix. “Adrian Dix is a strong, progressive and decisive leader who understands the challenges of working families and how government must work for the people not for their friends and big donators” he said. “He has earned the respect of our caucus and together we are prepared to take on premier Clark and the BC Liberal HST deceptive, the years of archaic illegal legislation that attacked the rights of teachers, of HEU workers and ferry employees and the outrageous tax subsidies given to banks and corporations.” With the leadership race now in the past, Coons says he and his NDP colleagues are looking ahead to an inevitable showdown with new Liberal party leader and Premier Christy Clark. “The 3-4 month BCNDP

leadership race has truly reinvigorated the party, united the caucus and separated us from the repressive policies of the BC Liberals. Policies that hurt families, attacked students and seniors and devastated our forest industry,” he said, pointing particularly to corporate tax cuts that he says have resulted in higher MSP costs, higher ferry fares and cuts to health and education.

“Adrian Dix is a strong progressive and decisive leader. . .” Gary Coons, MLA “We need a progressive government that protects the environment and ensures sustainable resource development ...not one that shows contempt for first nations and those concerned about the environment. Adrian Dix is someone who is up to the task of transforming British Columbia into a province that respects and cares for everyone, not just the chosen few.” A date for a possible election has not been announced by the new Premier, who is currently involved in a May 11 by-election in the Vancouver Point Grey riding.

◆ HELPING OTHER KIDS

Local preschooler donates her hair to kids with cancer By Martina Perry The Northern View

Local parents Jeff and Lee-Ann Clarke are teaching their three yearold daughter, Lacey, the importance of helping out for a good cause while she is young by having her donate over twelve inches of her hair to be made into a section of a wig for the Angel Hair for Kids program. Angel Hair for Kids is a program from A Child’s Voice Foundation. The program provide wigs and other hair loss solutions to less financially fortunate kids in the country that have lost their hair because of medical conditions

such as cancer, or because of tragic incidents like burns. The program was started three years ago, and since has helped over 150 kids regain their confidence, with the demand constantly increasing. It takes around ten to twelve donations of twelve inches or longer to make one wig that the group gives out for free to financially disadvantaged children by the Angel Hair for Kids program. Jeff and Lee-Ann have a history of cancer in their family including breast, stomach and lung cancer, so they are familiar with the pain the disease can cause families.

“We’ve had some rough things happen with Lacey and I could not imagine what it would be like if she had cancer. It’s always nice to give back, whatever it is.” Said LeeAnn. Lee-Ann cut Lacey’s hair, which was the preschool student’s first haircut, around a month ago after discovering the Angel Hair for Kids website through the Canadian Cancer Society’s website. After Lacey’s haircut, she was very happy and excited according to her parents. “We’ve wanted to donate Lacey’s hair for awhile, but we had to wait until it was long enough.”

Explained Lee-Ann. The Clarke family hopes that by sharing their daughter Lacey’s story with people in the community others will help out. “It’s only hair, it grows back and some people are not as fortunate… [People shouldn’t] be afraid to get their hair cut, especially when it’s for a good cause.” Commented LeeAnn. People wishing to contribute for a wig or learn more about the Angel Hair for Kids program can do so by visiting www.acvf.ca. Additionally, for more ways to donate check out www.cancer.ca.

Spring home and garden guide Get the most from your BBQ The only thing better than eating barbecued food is eating barbecued food outdoors. But what makes barbecued food so good? When the juice and grease of the food drips onto the hot surface, it is transformed into steam. This adds that secret delicious ingredient that only barbecued food has. What’s more, barbecued meat contains less fat because it is not cooked in oil or butter and virtually all of the fat drips away from the food. So there’s no reason not to barbecue as often as you’d like! To get the most out of this year’s barbecue season, get your barbecue in top cooking shape early. If you’re looking to buy a new barbecue, look for one that offers uniform heating— the main ingredient in successful barbecuing. When it comes to accessories,

select those that will fulfill your needs. For example, if you love grilling fish or other delicate food, some models have special grills so that food such as fish won’t fall onto the burner. Other models offer a rear convection burner that will conserve all of the food’s flavour. Others offer flat surfaces that allow you to cook your eggs any way you like them in the warm morning sun. In addition, today’s models are easy to care for and clean, eliminating most of the hassles in barbecuing. As a final piece of advice: To enjoy delicious barbecued food all summer and for many years to come, always follow the manufacturers instructions.

Choose high quality tools You might have heard the saying, “A poor workman always blames his tools”, but you can pretty much always tell a good worker by looking at his or her tools. If you are just beginning your gardening career, choose quality over quantity. With time, you’ll be able to take advantage of various sales to add to your collection of tools. To start off on the right foot, you’ll need a manual or motorized lawn mower, a garden hose, secateurs, a garden claw for breaking up the soil and weeding, a shovel, a rake, and a spade for turning the earth. Secateurs,

a c & d

a tool used daily in the garden, should be chosen carefully. Compare the different models. They come in a range of different sizes and prices, but this is one tool where you shouldn’t skimp on the cost. Always select tools with long handles, which help you to protect your back. Tools made of steel are the strongest and longest lasting. There’s nothing worse than starting to turn the soil in your new garden and having your spade snap off at the handle because you bought a cheaper model!

Spring home and garden guide Choosing the right mulch the key to a successful garden Mulch is a protective covering that is spread on the soil to facilitate the upkeep of the garden. Both the plants and the environment benefit

from the use of mulch, as it reduces garden maintenance requirements and conserves water. A generous covering of mulch

helps to retain moisture by preventing evaporation. It also keeps soil temperatures constant and covers and controls the growth of weeds, which need light to grow. Another advantage is that organic mulch feeds the soil. As mulch decomposes, it returns organic matter to the soil, increasing its level of nutrients. Among the most popular mulches available on the market are shredded bark, bark chips, and pine needles. Despite all these advantages, gardeners need to choose mulch carefully. Cedar bark is harmful to the development of roses, for example. So, before purchasing a particular type of mulch, decide where and why you want to use it and then ask for

Spreading organic mulch is a natural way of improving the soil. It also saves you hours of watering and weeding.

Time to bring in the cleaning pros As the balmy rays of the spring sun start to warm our homes, people often get the sudden urge to let the fresh air in and clean the house from top to bottom. In many cases calling in a professional can give the best resutls. Here is a plan to help make the most of spring cleaning efforts. First of all, it’s important to dust everything with a rag or a duster before washing: wet dust just forms a thin layer of mud that’s no fun to clean up. Be sure to dust ceiling fans and replace filters in kitchen and bathroom ventilation fans. Dust bookshelves, window blinds, and light fixtures and lamps. This is also the perfect time to clean the tops of kitchen and bathroom cabinets. In the kitchen, clean away all the forgotten splashes and splatters that you’ve been ignoring. Wash the walls and the ceiling, paying special attention to

the fridge and stove. Clean all your appliances inside and out. If your microwave oven smells funny, heat up a mixture of lemon juice and water in it before wiping it clean. This is the time to Spring cleaning time is here. thoroughly wash cupboard doors and shelves.

advice from your local garden centre. In every case, choose natural, uncoloured mulch. It isn’t necessary for the mulch to match the colour of your living room drapes! Generally speaking, mulch decomposes slowly over a period of several months. When it is visibly disintegrating, add a new layer to a maximum depth of 10 cm. Take care not to cover the crowns of any new plants. Once you get into the habit of mulching, you will save yourself hours of watering and weeding.

Spring home and garden guide Creating the ideal helps you get the most out of sunny days A well-designed deck should combine comfort, intimacy, and functionality while looking as inviting as possible. If it’s well organized, it will be an indispensable place for relaxing and entertaining friends. If you’re feeling creative and are good with your hands, you can create your own deck. Be organized: establish a budget and make a list of the different steps involved in the project, including the purchase of building materials and plants and flowers. You might consider hiring a landscape architect or a landscape gardener to do the design or planting work for you. These specialists will know how to design and bring to life your dream deck! Think about how you want to use the space. For relaxation, choose a banquette with big cushions, attractive chairs, a hammock, or a hanging seat. A

Enthusiasm doesn’t always equal ability, as many gardeners remember as their backs twinge after an Plumbing & Heating Ltd. afternoon with spade and hoe in hand. Gardening requires a great deal of bending, and if your back is crying out for some relief, here are a few tips that might save you some pain and discomfort. One strategy to prevent back pain is to cover the soil of your flowerbeds with a generous layer of mulch. This organic material will greatly reduce weed growth, so you won’t have to spend hours bending down to pull them out. Another good idea is to create raised flowerbeds. For your comfort, think about building the walls at a height varying from 60 to 75 cm.

After all, gardening is supposed to be a pleasure not a chore! The ultimate preventative measure is to work on your knees to plant, sew, or weed. Most garden centres sell good quality, soft kneepads that will help you avoid bending over repeatedly. If you have a finicky back, it is imperative to avoid lifting heavy loads, such as stones or bags of soil. Instead, use a wheelbarrow or a dolly that you can lay down flat to load up, then lift upright. If you do have to lift something, be sure to bend at your knees 170 George Hills Way, Prince Rupert rather than at your lower back.

Pawna, which means friend in On any given day there could the Tahltan language, even had a cake. The boneshaped treat, about eight inches in length, was bought specially by Thompson at the Three Dog Bakery in Vancouver a month ago while she was down there visiting friends. She kept it in the freezer until the day of the party. “It’s the second cake I’ve bought there,” said Thompson. “The last one was round. They have different selections.” Alexa, a twoyear-old basset Monica Lamb-Yorski photo Pawna, an 11 year-old German Shepherd/Husky hound was the cross was getting a bit impatient for her birth- first to jump up day party to start at Mariner’s Park, while her onto the table and owner, Judy Thompson (right) and fellow dog try to get a sneak owner Rhenda Burke, made sure she didn’t get peek at the cake. too close.

Thompson lit the candle, but nobody sang. Maybe that’s a dog code or something. When the wind blew the candle out, Thompson immediately sliced the cake into bite sized pieces, making sure every canine received one, even a tourist dog who happened to be strolling by with its owners. “Too funny,” the tourist remarked when Thompson offered the dog a

Pawna’s cake had carob for the lettering, and Ma said that’s an option some customers choose. The bakery’s been operating for about 14 years and offers a variety of cookies, cakes and pasteries for dogs. “We get quite a few people coming in ordering birthday cakes,” confirmed Ma.
