What’s the latest in circumcision news?  Is it a common practice in 2010?  Today we tackle this topic and share our views with new parents. We’d love to know your thoughts, leave a comment on this blog.

Of course the cross should be placed in a public location such as Pioneer Park. Although the hospital was run by the Catholic nuns, it was a health care facility for the entire community and should be remembered and respected as such. This was a first class hospital and was open to all who needed health care regardless of religion. It served the entire population of Rossland and was a huge asset to the community. I would love to see the cross in a location that represents the whole town, not just a segment of the population.

What is normal for a child’s sleep pattern? Today we discuss a parents frustration with a child who wakes up in the night and refuses to go back to sleep.  It just doesn’t happen once in awhile…it’s an almost daily occurrence.

It’s a very common problem that parents have to deal with. We discuss some solutions that will get you more sleep.

Kids love cereal and adults love quick easy and no fuss meals for their kids. Served with milk, or a milk alternate like fortified soy milk, cereal is a great way to get calcium and vitamin D. Choose a nutritious cereal, and it can also be a good source of fibre as well as vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, iron and zinc.

Unfortunately the least nutritious cereals on the market have the most nutrition claims, and are heavily marketed to kids. Even the ‘healthy looking’ cereals can be high in added sugar and salt, so it is important to read labels and choose wisely.

The kids behind the counter at a fast food place are often the target of many folks' ire as they make for easy pickings given the standards of their place of employment. We all know they are simply on cruise control awaiting their shifts' end so they can go home and listen to awful music. I've avoided taking this cliched route for some time, but after a pair of frustrating transactions at the same donut shop I can't help but vent via my unique channel.

Despite having a background that has always included a consistent marketing component, be it in service, design or entertainment, I still find myself totally defenseless against good marketing schemes. Anything ranging from the white tags at a grocery store to the genius Old Spice ads featuring pop culture icons, I really have a hard time not buying into these products based on the ads alone.

A new virus has been found that 98% of children carry around.  In today’s show you will learn that wheezing does not always mean asthma. You must be aware of this new virus.
