Advice From Our
KITCHEN Experts

What do you recommend regarding using the latest design trends when
planning a new kitchen?
Most elements in design have trends. When planning a new kitchen, determine which current
trends appeal to your design style and functional needs. Steer away from daring trends that are
not easy to change in a year or two, such as bold coloured countertop or cabinets. If you want to
make a statement, use a daring paint colour on your walls as this can be easily altered to adapt
to changing fashions. Kitchens are personal and unless you are thinking of selling your home
within a year or two, plan your kitchen to suite your taste, and your lifestyle and not necessarily
the latest trend. Get others’ opinions and use them as a guide for your own kitchen, but make
sure you include pieces of yourself in your decision. Look through magazines to get ideas. Gather
pictures and make a list of what you like. Sometimes a list of things you do not want can be
helpful to a Kitchen Designer as well. A Kitchen Designer can be a great help in your kitchen
planning process as they will guide you through the decision making stages and assist with the
details that can sometimes be overwhelming.
When I am meeting with a Kitchen Designer should I let them know what my budget is right
away?
Some are uncomfortable revealing their budget on the first visit because they feel their Designer
is also a sales person and may utilize the entire budget even though the kitchen may have been
designed more economically. Designers are bound by a code of ethics that guides them to work
within your budget instead of working to meet the budget. Your Designer will use the budget
constraint to provide the most efficient and viable solutions to your kitchen needs. If you are
unsure of what your budget is, your Designer can also help you through the budgeting process.
We will discuss your needs and wants and determine a final budget that you are comfortable
with. By providing a budget you are giving your Designer an added level of understanding of
your project which will help create the perfect kitchen for you.

DO YOU
HEAR
WHAT I
HEAR?
by Dr. Emily Roback,
B.Sc., D.C.
I have come to the conclusion that compared to dogs, all
humans must surely be hearing-impaired. Over the course
of their domestication, dogs have been valued for their
ability to hear sounds that humans cannot. For example,
the Weimaraner is a breed which has an amazing ability
to hear sounds from a distance of at least two blocks. And
as a hard-of-hearing chiropractor and personal trainer, I
have lived with a hearing loss, and communicating with
deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, I have learned to
appreciate my 6-month Weimaraner, Ivey, even more.
A Hearing Dog is not simply a dog with specialized
training. Most breeds that are developed for some kind
work for mankind, fill a primary role, such as guarding,
herding, or retrieving. Hearing Dogs on the other hand,
need to fill three important roles each requiring certain
temperament traits: in public – and for me this includes
my private practice-- as a safe member of the community who can educate the public about the limitless value
and potential of animals; in the home, a Hearing Dog
functions as a close, interactive companion; and in their
sound-alerting role, as a closely tuned-in link to the auditory world.
While their companion and public access roles are easily understood, the sound-alerting role is more complex.
For instance, what happens when your dog hears an unknown and potentially threatening sound, for example
three German Shepherds locked in the car barking, while
you and your dog are out on a walk? To avoid chaos with
your dog, consider carrying dog treats or biscuits in your
pocket for emergencies. Let your dog investigate the unknown sound (i.e. barking dogs) and reward her with a
biscuit after identifying where the sound is, staying calm
and making eye contact with you.

WEB WORLD ONE
Lon Hofer
It’s All Ones and Zeroes
I found a nice little tidbit that has somewhat validated
what I have been instinctively and socially developing
as a theory.
“A recent study from China published in Plos One found
10 per cent of Internet users suffer from Internet Addiction disorder, a recently acknowledged condition that
disrupts brain-nerve fibres responsible for emotions,
decision-making, and self-control. Its effects can be as
damaging to young people as alcohol or cannabis.”
Interesting stuff. So if one were to extrapolate and try
to prophesize a “trend” for the future you could see that
some are becoming non-emotional creatures relying on
data for decisions, relying on devices to replace their
memories, relying on data capture to validate character
or to validate their own insecurities. All of these things
being artificial, unemotional, and data driven – and
often leading to contention:
• In life people forget, sometimes remember incorrectly,
or change their mind. In data they lied.
• In life people have casual conversations and say things
casually. In data it is always certain.
• In life people change. In data you can’t, don’t, – and
aren’t going to.
• In life there is luck, chance, spontaneity, coincidence,
emotion, and energy. In data it’s ones and zeroes, yes
or no.
Think of the impact that Web 2.0 / social media has had
on society. As the impact and speed of technological
advancement continues to escalate – what happens
when we get to Web 3.0? (Web 3.0 is artificial intelligence.) Computers start to make all the decisions for us
instead of just being the basis for which they are made?
Does that make us obsolete and inefficient?
One could look at the alienation of the wisdom of society today from Web 2.0 as an initial proof of it already
happening.

trade, but proper education and propagation in nurseries has alleviated that threat.
I have always thought that caring for a cyclamen would
be difficult, but with proper care you can have one for
many years.
Watering: Cyclamen like humidity. Add a daily misting.
Stand the pot in a bowl of water until the soil is thoroughly moist, then let it drain and don’t water it again
for another week or so, until it is dry.
by Cindy DeJager
Light: Bright, indirect. Cyclamen do not like heat; and
temperatures above 20 degrees may induce your plant
to go dormant.
I have just acquired my first Cyclamen – sometimes
called Persian Violet. These beautiful, delicate plants
are native to Europe and the Mediterranean region east
of Iran. They are adapted to the deciduous woodlands
and placing them in filtered light with morning or late
afternoon sun is ideal. The leaves are heart-shaped and
‘butterfly wing’ flowers emerge from the tuber in colors
of white, pink, or purple. At one time these plants were
endangered from over collection for the horticultural
Feeding: Feed with a low nitrogen fertilizer every two
weeks.
Dormancy: The dormancy period for the cyclamen is
April – September. When the leaves begin to turn yellow start decreasing watering and feeding, and stop
completely when all the leaves are brown. Don’t pull off
any green leaves that may be left as these are how the
tuber stores its food for the rest period. Give your plant
a thorough watering now and if no green leaves appear
move it to a cool, dry place until fall again when you will
begin to see first signs of leave growth.

The 17th Annual President’s Dinner, featuring guest
speaker Larry Day, will be held March 22. Larry’s presentation, entitled 10,000 Interviews, will recount his
experiences over 35 years as a journalist and filmmaker.
From child soldiers in Sierra Leone to prime ministers
and presidents, Larry has conducted more than 10,000
interviews—world leaders, actors, writers, directors,
musicians, activists, homicide detectives and murderers. Larry will talk about the art of the interview and
what it has taught him about life, teaching, communication, sales and achieving success.
Drama Production
Drama students at St. Mary’s University College present

Museum takes place on the final day of a group show of
three fictitious contemporary American artists being exhibited in a major museum of modern art. In the course
of the day some forty people walk through the show:
art lovers, skeptics, foreigners, students, lost souls, fellow artists, and of course, museum guards. The play is
about the movement and yearning of these people. The
production takes place on Friday, March 30 at 7:30 pm
and Saturday March 31 at 2:30 and 7:30 pm.

BLACK & WHITE MINDSET
We’ve all heard the old adage “politics and religion
should never be raised as topics of discussion in polite
social circles”. Sadly, the mindset that tends to keep
this from becoming an outdated cliche is found in the
fact that, as any cotillion coordinator would attest, it
still only takes one, vehemently one sided person in a
discussion to turn any gathering that was once a “polite social circle”, into something more akin to a pointy
stick! Consequently, as long as there are those amongst
us who insist on always seeing everything in “black or
white” terms, and framing their opinions in absolutes,
the interchange of ideas on important concerns that we
collectively face, are destined to perpetually generate
more heat, than light. And therein lies the rub, because
we do collectively face such serious problems, this binary, “black or white” mindset is a serious problem that
needs to be challenged. But, how do we learn to disagree, without being so disagreeable?

Moisture in your Windows?
About now, being a minister, you may reasonably suspect I’m about to espouse the virtues of seeing in shades
of gray, in an attempt to uplift the nuanced nature of
complex issues to those who persist in seeing in only
black and white terms. But to what end? As those who
are already lulled into the false certainty a strictly two
tone ideology affords, this subtle metaphor of degrees
is lost, with gray becoming perceived merely as the
muddled colour of that unthinkable sin; compromise.
So instead, being also a painter, I would invite us to
consider the folly holding a staunchly “black or white”
doctrine presents, by reflecting on the paradoxical contradiction of the “black or white” metaphor itself. For, as
we perceive colour via the reflection of lightwaves off
an object, pure white is a reflection of all colors, (think
prism) and black a reflection of none, (think darkroom).
However, black is also the densest colour, achieved
by combining a myriad of complementing colours,
whereas white is the total absence of colour (think not,
what colours would you mix to make it?) Ergo, black
and white are both, simultaneously, all colours, and
no colour at all. Therefore, to my friends who cling to
creeds, and claims of their truth unequivocally holding
the high ground, I submit they consider how slippery is
that slope, when even black and white, cannot be seen
in black and white terms.

• Warmth of joints
• Stiffness in the morning or after waking from naps
• Limping or difficulty using an arm or leg
• Fatigue or loss of interest in recreational activities
JA is defined as continuous inflammation of one or
more joints lasting at least six weeks for which no other
cause can be found. Experts tell us that an early diagnosis and aggressive treatment plan can control the
pain of arthritis and prevent damage to the joints. Once
diagnosed with arthritis, the child’s treatment plan—including medication and rehabilitation therapy—will be
determined by a doctor.
KNOW THE SIGNS OF
CHILD ARTHRITIS
Juvenile arthritis (JA) is one of the most common chronic
diseases among Canadian children and adolescents
under the age of 16. It significantly impacts a child’s
quality of life and, if left untreated, may result in irreversible joint damage and disability. But identifying JA can
be tricky; sometimes even very experienced physicians
miss it. Arthritis in children can take numerous forms and
its symptoms vary widely. Children with arthritis don’t
always complain of joint pain, which is why the disease
can be hard to detect. According to The Arthritis Society,
if your child experiences any of the following warning
signs for JA over a few weeks, you should consult your
family doctor:
• Pain and stiffness in the joints (for example: knees,
elbows, fingers)

The egg is the universal symbol of Easter celebrations
throughout the world -- dyed, painted, adorned and
embellished with superb artistry.
The most famous decorated Easter eggs were made by
Peter Carl Faberge, who was commissioned by Russian
Czar, Alexander, to make a special Easter gift for his wife
in 1883.
The first Faberge egg was an egg within an egg. The
outside shell of platinum and white enamel opened to
reveal a smaller, gold egg. The smaller egg contained yet
another surprise, opening to display a golden chicken
and a jewelled replica of the Imperial crown.

CALGARIANS TO CELEBRATE THEIR
HISTORIC HOMES THIS YEAR
Join the House Party of the Century!
Is your house 100 years old (or thereabouts) — built in
1914 or earlier? If so, it’s time to celebrate your home’s
place in Calgary’s history — and your role looking after it.
Calgary Century Homes is a citywide celebration commemorating homes constructed during Calgary’s first
building boom. Owners and residents are invited to
share details and stories about their house, particularly during Historic Calgary Week 2012, Friday, July 27,
through Monday, August 6. Participants will receive
a free kit to help them create a Century Homes yard
sign with historic photos and information such as stories of former residents, special events that happened
there, a description of the home’s style and original features. During the celebration they will hang a banner
to identify their home as a Century Home and display
their yard sign to the public. Throughout the year participants will receive information on how to research
their home’s history, including workshops. There will
be opportunities to share stories on a website and to
network with other residents and admirers of Century
Homes
The Calgary Century Homes project is headed by volunteers from a variety of partner organizations, including the Calgary Heritage Initiative Society (CHI), Calgary
Heritage Authority, City of Calgary Heritage Planning,
The Federation of Calgary Communities, Calgary Public
Library Community Heritage & Family History, and Hillhurst-Sunnyside and Cliff Bungalow-Mission Heritage
Committees. Other organizations are invited to join in.
Organizers are recruiting community coordinators to
sign up participants in their community, arrange a lo-

banners can be picked up, and keep participants and
the community informed throughout the project. Coordinators are still needed in Beltline, Bowness, Capitol

Hill, Rosedale, Rideau-Roxboro, Shaganappi, South Calgary, Sunalta-Scarboro, Tuxedo and other communities

loneliness.
When well taken care of, senior cats and dogs can be
a source of love and companionship for many years
to come. Older pets are great for first-time pet owners
or people who do not have the time or energy to deal
with frisky puppies or kittens. Most senior animals are
house-trained and likely have already received obedience training. In addition, when you adopt a senior cat
or dog, there are no surprises when it comes to his size
or personality, making it easier to know if the pet will be
a good fit in your home and for your lifestyle.
The 60% discount offered through the “Seniors for Seniors” program results in a cost of $60 to adopt a senior cat
and $80 to adopt a senior dog. The adoption fee includes
a vet check, vaccinations, spay or neuter surgery, a microchip, a six-month City of Calgary licence and a bag of food.
Help us to connect the wonderful senior cats and dogs
at the Animal Services Centre with loving and caring forever homes! For more information about the “Seniors
for Seniors” program call 3-1-1 or visit calgary.ca/animalservices to view all of our adoptable cats and dogs.

NEW PROGRAM FOR SENIORS!
Animal & Bylaw Services is proud to announce the
launch of our “Seniors for Seniors” program: a new
cat and dog adoption program aimed at connecting
mature cats and dogs with people age 60 and over. This
program offers seniors a 60% discount on adoption fees
when adopting a “senior” cat or dog (8 years or older).
Through the “Seniors for Seniors” program, our goal is
to help enrich the lives of both pets and people by sharing the benefits of adopting an older companion animal.
Not only does adoption give a deserving animal a much
needed home, the adopter can benefit from increased opportunities for exercise, socialization and companionship.
The love of a pet has also been linked to health benefits
such as lowering blood pressure, triglyceride levels and

The Canadian Paediatric Society, Dieticians of Canada,
and Health Canada recommend that an infant be exclusively fed breast milk for the first six months of life
and continue to receive breast milk, along with complimentary foods, for the first two years and beyond. This
recommendation comes from consistent research that
shows breastfeeding has many nutritional, immunological, and emotional benefits for infants and toddlers.
Some of the benefits of breast milk include:
• It contains all the nutrients an infant needs for the first
six months of life
• It reduces infant illness such as ear, respiratory and
gastrointestinal infections
• It can increase a child’s IQ score
Mothers also receive many benefits from breastfeeding.
These benefits include:
• Greater postpartum weight loss
• Reduced risk of diabetes, breast cancer, and ovarian
cancer
• A free form of nutrition that is readily available any
time of day
The benefits of breastfeeding are so clear that almost
all women are encouraged to breastfeed, the exception
being women who have certain active infections (such
as HIV). Any known infections should be discussed with
your healthcare provider during pregnancy so that a
plan can be made for feeding your baby. To get more
up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations for feeding your infant, read the draft statement ‘Nutrition for
Healthy Term Infants: Recommendations from Birth to Six
Months’. The joint statement can be found on Health Canada’s website at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/consult/
infant-nourrisson/recommendations/index-eng.php.

Calgary Centre Constituency Boundaries to Change
The Government has brought forward C-20 - The Fair
Representation Act that will give Alberta 6 new federal
constituencies; Calgary will gain 2 of those. The redistribution will take place shortly after Elections Canada
consults with Albertans and community stakeholders
on where the new boundaries will be re-drawn. These
new constituencies will give Albertans more representation in the House of Commons.
The new seats are in response to Alberta’s growing
population. As the Minister of State for Democratic Reform said: “The status-quo results in Albertans becoming more and more underrepresented in the House of
Commons simply because they live in a high-growth
province...is clearly not fair and every Canadians’ vote, to
the greatest extent possible, should carry equal weight.”
The boundaries that make up the 8 constituencies in
Calgary will be redrawn to add two new seats. Calgary
Centre, one of the largest ridings in Canada will change
in that process.
Under The Fair Representation Act British Columbia will
also gain 6 seats, Ontario 15, and Quebec 3 additional
seats. These changes will reflect the population in each
province and will make the vote of every Canadian more
equal. The new ridings will be in place by the next general election.
If you would like more information on C-20 and the redistribution of seats in please visit www.democraticreform.gc.ca.

Best Bar None - making Calgary’s
nightlife safer and more enjoyable
Best Bar None, a nightlife safety initiative aimed at reducing alcohol-related violence in and around licensed
venues, is coming to Calgary.
More than 300 pubs, clubs, bars and lounges are invited
to take part in the Best Bar None program, making the
city’s nightlife safer and more enjoyable.
“Safety is always top of mind for Albertans,” said Ron
Liepert, Minister of Finance, also responsible for the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. “I’m pleased so
many partners are working together in innovative ways
to keep our communities safe and vibrant.”
Best Bar None is a voluntary program, aiming to reduce
alcohol-related harms by raising the operating standards of licensed premises as well as building positive
relationships among the licensees, law enforcement,
industry partners and community groups. The program
uses a system of accreditation, assessment and awards
to engage nightspots in responsible management and
safe operations.
Best Bar None partners include the Alberta Gaming and
Liquor Commission, The City of Calgary and the Calgary
Police Service. The program is also supported by community agencies such as the Public Safety Taskforce and
the Alberta Safer Bars Council.
