Then we put on our reflective vests and carry on… July – September – Fundraising Casino. We don’t have our dates yet, but they will be in this quarter. This is our biggest fundraiser, and the best bang for your volunteer hours, dollarwise. Ongoing: In addition to the above and our general operations, we continue to work on these projects and initiatives: Food Security – the Breakfast Club Parks & Playgrounds – John Laurie Park playground update, permanent skatepark, and the Ravine Park playground are in various stages, and we are doing an inventory of all community playgrounds to have a better idea of which ones are nearing the end of their lifecycle.

During this entire time he doesn't eat a thing. Most father penguins lose about 25 pounds while they wait for their babies to hatch. Afterward, they feed the chicks a special liquid from their throats. When the mother penguins return to care for the young, the fathers go to sea to eat and rest.

These incidents often occur inside the child’s own home. Common causes include: a child accidentally tipping hot liquids onto themselves, touching a hot surface, or making contact with an electrical outlet. Fortunately, incidents such as these can be avoided by taking simple preventative measures. Degrees of burn 1. Affects only the top layers of the skin; appears red like a sun burn; discomfort is generally tolerable; 2. Deeper and much more painful than first degree burns; broken skin or blisters commonly develop; 3. Severe: the deepest layers of skin and tissue are injured; may appear charred or leathery. First Aid for burns • Skin may continue to burn if not aggressively cooled. Immediately douse burns with large amounts of cold water. • Cover the burn with a sterile dressing, or any clean material to protect from infection; • Over the counter medications may be used for pain. Adhere to directions given on the label; • Seek further medical attention from your doctor, as required. Prevention of burns • Check the temperature of your hot water tank. Many homes keep hot water temperatures as high as 60°C / 140°F. This temperature will scald a child in just seconds; • Use placemats instead of tablecloths. Tablecloths can be yanked downward causing hot drinks, or food to spill on a child; • Turn pot handles to the back of the stove and ensure cords from kettles, slow cookers, and other electrical appliances cannot be reached; • Avoid picking up a child while holding any hot liquids; • Ensure electrical outlets are made secure by installing commercially available safety devices that prohibit access. 6 Moisture Removal 6 Caulking 6 Hardware Replacement 6 Weather Stripping 6 Glass Replacement 6 Custom Glass Design If you require immediate medical attention for serious burns, call 9-1-1.

LEAF will enable homeowners to enjoy living in a clean, attractive and well maintained community in addition to attracting new proud homeowners. The program’s proponents believe LEAF will increase property values over the long term and inspire private property maintenance through leading by example. The amount of $7 per month, or $84 per year, will triple the budget currently available to the City of Calgary Parks department for services such as: • Spring and fall clean up • Raised planters with assortment of colors and flower textures • Perennial and annual flowers maintenance FPx2 • Tree well & shrub bed LEAF PROGRAM Breakfast Petition Kick Off on April 11 The LEAF petition begins on Saturday, April 11 and will continue through the Spring and into the early Summer. Drop by the community center on April 11 between 10:00am and 2:00pm to learn more about the LEAF PROGRAM program, sign the petition andFPx2 enjoy a free breakfast. Early birds are in for a special treat ... Free Trees Claim your free tree seedling! The first 100 property owners to drop by the Breakfast Petition Kick Off event on April 11 and sign the petition will receive a 2 year old Trembling Aspen seedling. The Trembling Aspen is a hardy, 14 • Weed management • Litter control • Turf improvement • Regular watering during the growing season • Mulch fast-growing tree that is known for its unique “trembling” leaf movement and beautiful bark that whitens with age. Edgemont has many examples of young and mature clusters of Trembling Aspen. Please note the seedlings are to be planted on private property. How to Sign the Petition Individuals who own property in Edgemont are eligible to sign the petition. Properties included are detached homes, attached homes, condominiums, townhouses, commercial properties, etc. If you are a tenant please help us by speaking with the owner about LEAF and referring the owner to our website at www.edgemont. ab.ca. We would be happy to speak with them directly if you could kindly share the owner’s contact information. ~continued next page~ marCh 2015 I Great News Publishing I Call 403-263-3044 for advertising opportunities Owners will be asked to write their name, the date and signature. Please ensure your name matches exactly with the land title. Can’t remember how your name appears on the land title ? The City of Calgary recently mailed the 2015 Property Assessment Notice to property owners. Check the address line - that is the name to use for the petition. The easiest way to commit your support for the LEAF program is by dropping in at the April 11 Breakfast Petition Kick Off. We will quickly look up your address, find the correct sheet and accept your signature (come early and get a free tree). If you are unable to drop in, no problem - you could either (i) make an appointment to see the LEAF team, or (ii) wait for canvassers to come to your property. • To make an appointment to sign the petition, please call the ECA office at 403-239-1211 and let them know what time works for you. The canvasser for your area will get back you. Over 60 of your neighbors have volunteered to canvas for the LEAF petition. They will approach property owners, on a doorto-door basis, and ask for petition support. The canvassers will be wearing bright yellow “I Love Edgemont” T-shirts and will be wearing name tags. Please watch for the canvassers in your neighborhood, open your door and engage in conversation with them. We require agreement from 66% of homeowners in Edgemont to establish LEAF and are counting on your support! Call for Volunteers - Canvassers Wanted Thank you to all who have come forward to help canvass your neighbors for the LEAF program. We could definitely use additional canvassing volunteer help. Canvassers will be provided with training, maps, brochures, petition sheets, t-shirts, etc. Detailed training sessions are scheduled in advance of the petition kick off, for March 25th, 26th or 28th at the community center.

The City’s Main Streets initiative will analyze the needs of neighbourhood residents, along with economic research, to identify success criteria for future growth in these areas. Transit operators do so much more than just drive; they ensure passenger safety, keep to a schedule, check fares, give directions, remember stop requests, all while manoeuvring large vehicles through unpredictable traffic, adverse weather and tight spaces. Most do all this and more with a smile on their face. On Wednesday, March 18, join us in celebrating our hard working bus and CTrain drivers.

As you shovel your walk this winter, take a few extra minutes to clear a neighbour’s too. You’ll help them, and everyone else who travels the sidewalk. If you have a Snow Angel helping you keep your walks clear of snow and ice this winter, contact 311 to have them officially recognized by The City and entered for a prize.

All registration is online. The season runs from April 22 - June 24 covering ages 3 - 14 (U4 - U14) and is followed by a season end BBQ celebration. We are looking forward to cooperation with Dalhousie Soccer this season including a shared U10 house league. Recreational soccer has always been a popular program in our community, with 415 boys and girls registering in 2014. Teams are formed to be even and fun. Fun is vital for the kids to do their best and to learn to appreciate soccer as a healthy lifetime activity.

This will help with management, restoration, and trail design for existing parks, as well as planning connections for new parks. In 1994, Council approved plans for Natural Area Management, the River Valleys, Nose Hill Park, and Calgary Urban Park. Since then, Council-approved the Environmental Open Space (EOS) Plan in 2003. The aim was to have policies and guidelines for active management of natural areas in Calgary. News from the Friends of Nose Hill Now under review are EOS policies which will be revised for the New Community Planning Guidebook. The MGA Act refers to areas as: environmentally significant, wetlands, escarpments, ravines, coulees, swamps, natural drainage features, etc. by Anne Burke A report on wildlife-vehicle collisions indicates the total killed are: bears (2), cougars (3), coyotes (772), deer (5,152), and moose (48). The cost is estimated at $35,567,264 (2005-2014). This is based on human injury and fatality, EMS, police investigation, towing, vehicle repair, removal and disposal of animal killed.

Industry, community associations, non-government organizations, academics, and other government agencies will help to build a work plan. There are already changes to the frameworks for the Habitat Restoration Project and Biophysical Assessment. A Council Committee on Planning and Urban Development will consider the proposals prior to approval. The Biodiversity Strategic Plan is almost complete (after the engagement process) and will go to the Council Committee on Community and Protective Services. If approved, the plan will be implemented, and the Parks Department will contact stakeholders for ongoing engagement and collaboration. The oral history project is in Calgary’s 10-year plan to “integrate with Calgary’s nature”. Currently, the City is reviewing the transcripts from focus group sessions, held last spring and fall, as well as personal documentations of those who submitted their responses electronically. Over this year a literature review will be performed, another focus group session with non-experts held, and a paper based on the project’s findings submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publishing. Over the course of implementing the strategic plan, the hope is that the oral history project will continue in various forms, so that we have ongoing opportunities to showcase our connections to Calgary’s nature. marCh 2015 I Great News Publishing I Call 403-263-3044 for advertising opportunities Got Text Neck? Over the past few years I have noticed an ever increasing rate of neck and upper back injuries that are directly related to the overuse of laptops, tablets and smart phones. These types of injuries are referred to as postural strains of the neck and upper back or more commonly as “text neck” or “computer posture”. Now, I am not saying that you should give up your electronic devices. The problem however, lies in how people use their technology. Just observe anyone using their iPad. They typically look down, with the neck and upper back flexed forward, shoulders rolled inwards, and chest pulled downwards. This results in tight upper back (trapezius) and chest muscles (pectoralis) while the muscles on the front of your neck (flexors) and between your shoulder blades (lower trapezius, rhomboids) become weak. Ultimately, this “slouched” or anterior head position increases the load placed on the spine, shoulders and all related soft-tissues resulting in muscle strains, neck & back pain, and tension headaches. Now for the good news! These postural strains and muscle imbalances can be effectively treated and corrected through simple exercises and postural awareness. There’s no magic to it; I always recommend that my patients should strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight muscles and by doing so they can restore muscle balance, correct poor posture and resolve their aches and pains. Through simple changes in lifestyle and increased knowledge about what is causing your problem, you can break the vicious cycle (sedentary work, poor posture, lack of exercise, etc.) caused by hunched over technology use. So get up and exercise, take breaks from your laptop and smart phone, and you will gain energy, feel better, and improve your overall health.

Due to problems with leaks, Poly-B water pipes are no longer accepted by United States or Canadian building codes and have been the subject of class action lawsuits in both countries. Poly-B fails without warning because it breaks down from the inside of the pipe over time, which can result in sudden catastrophic damage or severe structural damage including mold if a pipe has been leaking for some time without detection. The older the pipe, the more likely it is to fail. Not replacing Poly-B in a home has a 60% probability of failure within 20 years, which further increases over time. Modern West Plumbing & Heating specializes in the complete turn-key removal of Poly-B in your home by a professional, courteous, and experienced team including a Master Plumber. Replacing this pipe in your home will protect your investment and your personal belongings, save thousands on repairs, and add significant value to your property.

Calgary winters are very dry, leaving our luscious locks vulnerable and very susceptible to further damage, brought on by moisture loss. Taking care of your hair can help you make it through the season without fly aways and brittleness. Here’s a few tips and tricks that will help you combat the dryness and get maximum moisture out of your everyday styling.. • Hair is made up of bonds. • Wet hair breaks hydrogen bonds allowing our hair to be more malleable and take on its drying state.(such as a ponytail kink or curlers). Bonds are mended as you dry and since bonds are a lot stronger together, we recommend completely drying your hair before going outside in the cold. Going out with damp hair weakens the bonds ability to mend, leading to damage. • Styling with a heat protector or a styling oil will help seal the cuticle of the hair strand and not allowing outside pollution, cold air and sun/wind damage goes a long way in keeping your locks in their finest form. Many products are designed to help. Ask a professional hair stylist for recommendations if yours aren’t doing it for you. • Use cool water as your final rinse on your hair. Using hot water to rinse out shampoo allows removal of oil and dirt. While rinsing conditioner out with cooler water helps seal your hairs cuticle and lock in moisture by not allowing natural hair sebum (oil) to wash away. • Hats and toques are always a great option for protection.

If you have yet to experience Leon or Brunetti, there is no time like now to start. Death at La Fenice is the first in this series of Venetian mysteries where the city itself is one of the principal characters. There is little violent crime in Venice, a serenely beautiful floating city of mystery and magic, history and decay. But the evil that does occasionally rear its head is the jurisdiction of Guido Brunetti, the suave, urbane vice-commissario of police and a genius at detection. Now all of his admirable abilities must come into play in the deadly affair of Maestro Helmut Wellauer, a worldrenowned conductor who died painfully from cyanide poisoning during an intermission at La Fenice. But as the investigation unfolds, a chilling picture slowly begins to take shape—a detailed portrait of revenge painted with vivid strokes of hatred and shocking depravity. And the dilemma for Guido Brunetti will not be finding a murder suspect, but rather narrowing the choices down to one. Intrigued yet?

Ask an Expert Q Are there certain assets that I should give special consideration to in order to avoid paying undue tax? A Sheri MacMillan, Senior Trust & Estate Practitioner, CEO of MacMillan Estate Planning Corp. and Host of The Strongroom on QR77 Each year, countless individuals pay an excessive amount of tax to Canada Revenue Agency. In order to preserve the value of your assets, it is vital to structure your estate in a strategic manner. Although tax is an unavoidable reality within even a well-composed estate, there are many tools available that may significantly reduce or defer an estate’s taxation liability. A proper tax plan should account for both domestic and international issues. Many families are unaware that internationally held assets, such as U.S. vacation properties or U.S. investments, are liable to both Canadian and U.S. estate taxes. Failure to structure these assets within a larger tax scheme will inevitably cause their real values to be reduced. In addition to the aforementioned risks, foreign assets can also legally create multiple estates. By owning U.S. property or U.S. investments, you are recognized to possess both a Canadian and U.S. estate. Upon an individual’s passing, these two estates will need to be settled, adding considerably to the amount of time and money required. Ultimately, your assets both inside and outside of Canada require careful planning. In order to reduce tax, it is vital to use the most qualified experts available. Always consult with a professional to ensure you are properly protected.

Against the backdrop of corporate America and the Occupy Wall Street movement, the story of a social and political rebel in a time of turmoil rings true again. What better way to tell that story than to use a parallel of contemporary celebrity worship that the western world is very familiar with. What then to do about this Jesus-mania? Miracle wonderman - hero of fools. No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans –one thing to say for him, Jesus is cool. As Jesus’ radical teachings are evermore embraced, Judas increasingly questions the enlightened motives of this new prophet, resulting in betrayal. Christ’s final days are dramatized with emotional intensity and thought-provoking edge, propelled by a stirring score that is by turns driving and majestic, satirical and tender to illuminate the transcendent power of the human spirit with a passion that goes straight to the heart.

Our schools play a key role in working with students, families and communities to create vibrant, physically and mentally healthy schools. We are committed to doing everything we can to promote student health in our schools, including, creating strategies to foster safe and caring school communities, taking a whole-school approach to health, following the Alberta curriculum, and by working together with community partners to support students’ health and wellness needs. At the CBE, we believe in a whole-school approach to health and wellness. We call this our Comprehensive School Health (CSH) approach and it includes active living, supportive social environments and positive mental health. As a system we focus on the following four areas: • healthy eating • healthy relationships • physical activity • positive mental health Every school is asked to create its own set of goals related to these four areas of focus. To support the schools in reaching their goals, the CBE has many different programs, partnerships and strategies to support our schools in creating healthy communities. Students, staff and school communities have the shard responsibility of cultivating environments that welcome everyone and provide opportunities to thrive in life and learning. Since no two schools are the same, this looks different in every school. The Board of Trustees are proud of what our schools have done and continue to do to create healthy, safe, positive, inclusive, and welcoming environments that support and respond to the needs of students and staff. We welcome your comments, feedback and questions. You can contact the Board of Trustees at boardoftrustees@cbe. ab.ca.

During this entire time he doesn't eat a thing. Most father penguins lose about 25 pounds while they wait for their babies to hatch. Afterward, they feed the chicks a special liquid from their throats. When the mother penguins return to care for the young, the fathers go to sea to eat and rest. RBC Dominion Securities Inc.
