Because your family is the Work that's Worth It! Because they are a husband-and-wife team, Trudie Mason and Kevin Holden bring a special chemistry to issues that matter to your family Monday - Friday from 2 - 4 pm. "Chemistry" because sometimes things explode. Sometimes things fume. Sometimes they get along just fine like oil and water.

The show's focus is family and childrearing issues, entertainment and lifestyle topics - plus the offbeat and off-the-beaten track stories you won't hear anywhere else. From toilet training to UFO spotting, daycare to hair care, movies, books and comedy - Friday's you're invited to give out Tasty and Tasteless awards to win during "Flavour of the Week" right after the 3:30PM CJAD News.

HELP SAVE THE APES OF CONGO! 

12-year old James Brooks of London, Ontario wants to save the apes of Congo.  He and a conservation group are working on a  plan  to support families left fatherless when poachers murdered game wardens who were protecting the apes.  The widows are running a poultry co-op. 

James is asking every classroom in Canada to send $3 to buy a dozen eggs from the co-op.   The revenue will go to the widows and the eggs will be donated back to the families to nourish the children.  In this way, James is hoping that the children will grow up strong and healthy and able to become defenders of the apes as their fathers were. 

You can find out more about James' initiative at http://www.1000classrooms.org/
