When winter hits,
we’re ready.
You can count on city employees
to keep our neighbourhoods safe
and clear — in any weather.
Big storms often don’t give you much
warning. A city like Calgary needs a
team in place that can hit the streets
with a few hours notice.
Fortunately, that’s just what we have.
When the snow flew early this year,
Calgary’s city employees were prepared:
plowing streets and sidewalks, clearing
downed branches, trees and other debris,
salting and sanding.
We’re your reliable, dedicated team.
So when some politicians talk about
replacing experienced public employees
with for-profit contractors, know that it
comes at a price.
When your family’s safety is on the line,
cutting corners isn’t worth it.

algary’s weather is unpredictable. One day it
is freezing, while the next it is above zero. This
change in weather creates icy roads and driving
hazards. Nobody likes the feeling of not being in control
of their vehicle. In 2008, Quebec mandated every vehicle be outfitted with winter tires. Quebec might be on to
something as the mandate resulted in fewer collisions,
and personal injuries.
When the temperature dips below 7° C you should consider changing to winter tires to take advantage of their
superior traction, cornering and braking ability. Even
though all-season tires provide decent handling, their
performance decreases significantly as the temperature
drops. Compared to all-seasons, winter tires have 50%
more traction in the cold. They are made of softer material and carry a unique tread design that provides better
traction and road gripping abilities.
size and kind of tire you need for your vehicle and the
type of driving you do. In fact, we are here to take care
of you and all your vehicle needs. We offer full maintenance services including oil changes, factory scheduled maintenances, steering, suspension, transmission,
alignments, climate control, batteries, brakes, exhaust,
oh ya…and tires! We guarantee all our work, and are
known for our famous nationwide lifetime guarantee
on brake pads, brake shoes, mufflers, shocks and struts.
With over 2,200 North American Midas locations, your
warranty will be honoured no matter where you travel.
Visit Alnoor and his team within your neighbourhood
Hunterhorn Plaza located at 556-64th Ave. NE. They
would be happy to help you Monday to Friday from 7:30
am to 6:00 pm and Saturdays from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm.
If you cannot make it during our regular hours, take advantage of our early bird drop off service. Give us a call
at 403-275-6610 or visit us on the web at www.midas.
com/calgary.
And remember in April or May, when spring comes
around again, don’t forget to visit Midas to have your
winter tires removed to prevent premature tire wear. At
Midas, we will help keep you safely on the road.
How can you identify a winter tire? Look for the mountain/snowflake symbol.
Some people believe winter tires are unnecessary when
their vehicle has anti-lock brakes, all-wheel drive or fourwheel drive. The truth is these systems require sufficient
road traction to work, which is what winter tires provide.
According to the Tire & Rubber Association of Canada,
winter tires should be installed in sets of four. Installing
only two winter tires on the front is considered dangerous and is to be avoided. It increases the grip on the
front causing over-steering and the vehicle’s back end
to fish tail. Installing only two winter tires on the back of
the vehicle should be avoided as well. The rear tires will
get traction, but the front tires will slip causing understeering. Mixing tires can make a vehicle difficult to
control, especially when cornering.
Whether you are in need of a new set of tires, tire repair, or a tire change over, Midas can help. Our trained
technicians will inspect, rotate, and balance your tires,
as scheduled by your vehicle’s manufacturer. When it
is time to replace them, we will determine the correct

speaker (and answer questions from the
public) at a free meeting of the Friends of
Nose Hill, on Wednesday, November 12, at
Triwood Community Centre, 7 p.m.
Coyotes were once called song dogs in First
Nations myth. The urban coyote now lives in
nature surrounded by urban development.
Citizens report seeing coyotes and a few
have negative interactions with them. But
does that mean you need to be afraid of coyotes? She will explore how coyotes live in the
city, what challenges they face, and how we
can co-exist without fear.
the Friends
of Nose Hill
by Anne Burke
Shelley Alexander at the U. of C.
Geography department handraised coyote pups while researching pack behaviour and non-lethal
deterrents. She will be the guest
Alexander led a guided walk around Nose
Hill, which supports a small group of coyotes in an urban green space. She describes
what type of habitat (in parks like Nose Hill)
is important to coyotes and answers whether
coyotes were living in these places before
the city was built. Or, are coyotes “invading”
cities, like you hear in the media?
Next to spring denning, another critical conflict time is fall for the “dispersal season”, when
coyotes reaching maturity leave the pack to
fend for themselves. This is a period of stress
for coyotes, and when hungry, they will sometimes roam residential areas looking for food.
This summer there were concerns over wild
animal trapping in the city, as well as how we
manage the encroachment of bears and cougars. Or are we in their space? Urban wildlife
is a reality, and experts from the Calgary Zoo
as well as Alberta Fish and Wildlife will bring
forward an Urban Wildlife Strategy.
The city can be a better custodian of good
animal welfare practice. Animal and Bylaw
Services already plans to meet with other
agencies. Be pro-active to avoid conflict with
animals like beavers, by planting trees along
the river, placing wire around tree trunks,
and providing under-dam drains to control
water levels.
A cougar found prowling at the South Calgary Health Campus delayed many police
officers who waited for the Alberta Fish and
Wildlife officials to arrive. Of course we need
to respect the potential for harm to the public. The Minister of Justice & Solicitor General
announced a review of the Provincial Government’s response in this situation.

Warm appetizers are always popular, especially when the weather turns
colder. This cheese spread always has people guessing what the ingredients are, and the baked Brie with cranberries is delicious and will disappear quickly!
Warm Blue Cheese Spread
1 -250 gram pkg. regular cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2-3 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese (my preference is Gorgonzola)
3-4 stalks celery, chopped
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash of cayenne
¼ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Snow peas, ripe pears, pepperoni sticks cut in short pieces, assorted
crackers.
•Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
•Mix cream cheese and blue cheese until well blended
•Add celery and onion to cheese mixture. Add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne; mix well. Spread evenly in a baking dish.
Sprinkle pecans over cheese mixture.
•Bake 25 – 30 minutes, until thoroughly heated and beginning to bubble.
•Remove from oven and sprinkle with snipped fresh parsley.
•Serve warm with snow peas, pear wedges, pepperoni sticks and crackers.
CULINARY FILE: appetizers
Baked Brie in Puff Pastry
1 small wheel of Brie cheese, scored on top
1 egg, beaten
1 block puff pastry, thawed
Cranberry filling
2 red apples
Cranberry Filling:
½ cup fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon golden brown sugar
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier liqueur

Brie. Bring pastry up around the sides and over the top of the cheese,
wrapping completely. Tie with string, and allow excess pastry to fold
over and create a “flower” top. Brush with beaten egg

Animal & Bylaw Services
Addressing the Problem…
Often times, when members of Animal & Bylaw Services
or Alberta Health Services/Emergency Medical Services
respond to a call, time is of the essence.
When accessing a property from an alley, the difficulty
comes when addresses are not clearly displayed at the
back of the home. It is even more difficult in areas where
houses are built in close proximity to one another.
For your safety, please be aware that under the Community Standards Bylaw, your address must be clearly
displayed at the back of your property, if adjacent to an
alley or public walkway.
Calgary Fire, CPS and Animal & Bylaw Services appreciate your support and assistance.
Be Street Smart Safe
Do you know the rules of the road? Some people might
be surprised by what bylaws exist in Calgary to ensure
our streets are safe.
Recreation

basketball nets are not permitted on City streets, even
temporarily.
Obstruction
•Do not place electrical cords, hoses or chains over a
sidewalk.
•Do not place any material in lanes, streets, sidewalks or
City right-of-ways.
Vehicles

or boulevards
•Do not leave unregistered, uninsured vehicles on City
streets or lanes.*
•A vehicle must be operable and moved within 72,
hours or it may be considered abandoned and removed as such.*
*This regulation is a part of Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act
and is enforced by the Calgary Parking Authority.

Huntington Hills School
Huntington Hills School is located in the northwest
community of Huntington Hills. We are a small school
with an enrollment of approximately 225 students
from Kindergarten through Grade 6. Our opening this
year was exciting and energizing and we were pleased
to make connections with our supportive and friendly
community. Our students were excited to see the new
naturalization area in both our front and back areas.
This project has been a three-year endeavour for our
school and we want to thank our devoted parents for
the many hours to make our vision a reality, including
watering and maintaining our new trees, bushes, and
grass the entire summer. From 64th Avenue, you should
be able to view our handmade concrete mounds with a
dry creek bed, amphitheatre, learning pods, and a willow-tunnel feature. It is an exceptional learning space
for our students to develop stewardship, relaxing and
private places for our students, and to develop ecological understanding. Our next step in this legacy will be
to connect with the Calgary Zoo program Grounds for
Change through staff, parent and student activities to
deepen our understanding of how to utilize a naturalization area. As well, we would like to recognize Kris
Mann and his company Artisan Scapes for all of their
creative work as this project is truly an image of nature.
As a Calgary Board of Education school, we always want
our community to feel welcome and connected to us.
We are a Calgary Reads school which brings together
reading tutors for students Kindergarten through
Grade 2 learning to read and build a life-long love of
literacy. If you are interested in the possibility of becoming a tutor, please contact Calgary Reads at www.
calgaryreads.com.
Our students are always experiencing new places and
spaces! Our Grade 5 and 6 students explored the Bennett Science Centre and visited the Alberta Legislature
in Edmonton during a three-day field trip. As well, our
entire school has been taking part in a tennis residency
with First Serve Tennis which included a few visits to the
Huntington Hills Tennis Courts.
We also want to thank the Alberta Foundation for the
Arts for accepting our grant proposal to work with artists Carole Bondaroff and Stan Phelps from Heart Studies. Our entire school population will be learning about
print-making as well as how to develop graphic novel
skills to develop our ability to express ourselves through
art.

during times of war, conflict and peace”; specifically, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and all conflicts
since then in which members of the Canadian Forces have participated.
The department runs a program called Canada Remembers with the mission of helping young and new Canadians, most of whom have never
known war, “come to understand and appreciate what those who have
served Canada in times of war, armed conflict and peace stand for and what
they have sacrificed for their country”.

Main streets are active areas that attract Calgarians to
socialize, work, shop, dine, celebrate local events and
are often important transportation routes.
Starting in late fall of 2014,
the city’s main streets initiative will analyze Calgary’s
24 main street neighbourhoods to inform future
planning and development
activities. The first step in
this process is to gather
local perspectives about
main street issues, opportunities and outcomes.
Thriving main streets are ideal locations to live, work

Pharmacists say
being Proactive
and Prepared is the
key to Flu Season
Survival
Submitted by
Pamela Nichol
Taking simple, yet highly effective, steps to preventing
influenza (flu) can prevent a trip to a busy hospital emergency room during the upcoming flu season. Influenza can
be very serious for those who have health vulnerabilities
such as senior citizens, pregnant women, or people with
chronic health conditions. Influenza causes about 20,000
people to get admitted to the hospital and about 4,000
deaths in Canada each year.
Health agencies across Western Canada are working to ensure Canadians are prepared to combat the seasonal flu,
which can help free up emergency room space for emergency situations.
Knowing the difference between a common cold and the
flu is as important as being proactive and getting the flu
shot early.
FLU SEASON SURVIVAL TIPS
•Be Proactive
•Get your flu shot early. Call or visit your local pharmacy
to book your influenza vaccination appointment. Ask if
you qualify for a free flu vaccination or other recommended vaccine. If not, a fee may apply.
•Wash your hands frequently. Use soap and warm water
for at least 15 seconds. If water and soap are not available,
use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and ensure you rub
your hands until the product is dry.
•Cough or sneeze into a tissue or into your sleeve. Dispose of the tissue right away and wash your hands afterwards using the tips above.
•Avoid rubbing your nose and eyes. Keep your hands
away from your eyes, nose and mouth to keep germs
from entering your body.
•Don’t share. Avoid sharing food, utensils, water bottles
and other things that could pass bacteria and viruses.
•Take a regular daily dose of vitamin C. Vitamin C intake
can help decrease the duration and severity of a cold or
flu if you get one.
•Rest well. If you or a family member is sick, stay home
from school or work and avoid contact with others.
Be Prepared
1.Know the signs of influenza. Influenza is a highly contagious viral infection. Transmitted by airborne droplets
and can survive up to 48 hours outside the body; it can
take a few days to a week for symptoms to appear. Some
examples include:
•A sudden, high fever (38 to 40 degrees C)
•Headache, extreme fatigue, chills and sweating
•Dry cough
•Loss of appetite
•Muscle aches and pains
•Runny and stuffy nose, sneezing and sore throat
It can lead to complications such as pneumonia, respiratory
failure, or worsening of a current chronic medical condition.
2. Have a flu season survival kit on hand. There is nothing worse when you’re sick than having to leave your
house to find relief. Make sure you have the following
on hand for easy self-care:
•Over the counter cold and flu medications
•Soup, soda crackers, ginger ale or beverages with electrolytes for rehydration
•Kleenex
•Disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer
•Nasal spray
•Herbal tea
•Thermometer
