ATVs: Be as Safe as PossibleIt’s Child Safety Week and Alberta Health Services (AHS) is remind-ing all Albertans to make all-terrain vehicle (ATV) safety a priority this week and every week.

ATVs pose significant risk to all users and particularly children less than 16 years of age, who have not yet developed to the point of having the strength, skills or judgment needed to operate an ATV. Over a one-year period ending April 1, 2017, 78 children were seen in Alberta’s two pediatric emergency departments due to ATV-related injuries; 31 required hospital admission and one died.

To protect children less than 16 years of age, parents and caregiv-ers are advised to ensure these children do not drive or ride in an ATV. This includes ATVs marketed as ‘child-sized’. Albertans 16 years of age and older are urged to take the following precautions to ensure their ATV excursions are as safe as possible:•Get trained: Before you hit the trails, get formal hands-on train-

ing from a recognized/trained ATV instructor. Don’t be shy about refreshing your training seasonally.

•Wear the gear: Always wear a helmet. As of May 15, 2017, CSA-compliant helmets must be worn by OHV users when riding on public land, but a helmet worn every ride can save your life. From 2002 to 2013, 41 per cent of quad-rider deaths in Alberta were due to head injuries. In 80 per cent of these head injury deaths, the quad riders were not wearing a helmet. In addition to a helmet, always wear a jacket, long pants, goggles, boots and gloves.

•Look first: Be sure you’re aware of the weather forecast, fire outlook/potential, and any haz-ards (geographical, animal or human) or risks that the trail(s) could pose. Ensure your ATV is equipped with an appropriate head lamp.

•Buckle up: Be sure you’re fastened in properly and that all gear and equipment (including your ATV re-straints) are in proper working condition before you hit the trails.

•Drive sober: Don’t drink or do drugs before or while operating an ATV: 55 per cent of those who died in ATV crashes between 2002 and 2013 tested positive for alcohol.

•Seek help: Before you head out on the trail, let others know where you’re going and when they should expect you back. This helps your loved ones know when to call for help if you’ve been gone too long. Take a cellphone or working radio with you, as well as a first aid-kit.

Visit www.ahs.ca/injuryprevention.asp for more information on ATV safety and injury prevention.

Fire Pit Regulations Help Create Good Neighbour Relationships When you ask Calgarians what they love about this city, the answer is often “the people.” While most of us do our best to be good neighbours, sometimes we need a little guidance to do the right thing. That’s where the Com-munity Standards Bylaw comes in.

Did you know the Community Standards Bylaw lays out the requirements for using backyard wood-burning fire pits? The regulations for fire pits include:•Using a mesh screen or spark guard to reduce the

spread of embers and sparks.•Extinguishing the flame by midnight on weekdays and

1 a.m. on weekends.•Restricting the height of the flame to one metre.•Building a fire pit within maximum size limits.•Listing materials that cannot be burned.•Ensuring the fire pit is at least two metres from oth-

er structures and is not under a tree or overhanging branches.•Ensuring you have a means of extinguishing the fire

on hand and that you put it out before leaving it unat-tended.

The bylaw includes fines for unsafe fires and burning prohibited materials, so it pays to understand the bylaw.

For more information, visit calgary.ca/firepits. If you have a concern or complaint about fire pits, call 311.

YOUR CITY OF CALGARY SAFE & SOUND

Backyard Play SafetyWith summer approaching, Emergency Medical Serv-ices (EMS) would like to encourage parents and caregiv-ers to ensure their backyard play areas are made safe for children. Although direct supervision is the best method to reduce the chance of injury, ensure your play equipment in your yard is in good repair and is suitable for the age and skill of the children using it. Check play equipment often; replace or repair any worn or broken parts. Set up play equipment over top a nine-inch layer of shock-absorbing material, which extends six feet out in all directions from the play area.

Water Hazards•Drowning contributes to unintentional injury-related

death among children ages one to four;•Children can drown in just a few centimetres of water if

it covers their mouth and nose; •Ensure all backyard swimming pools are fenced. The

fence must be at least 1.8 metres(*) •high and have a self-latching, self-closing, lockable

gate.

Lawn and Garden Tools•Keep young children away from outdoor power equip-

ment; •Serious burns may result from touching hot engine

surfaces;•Ensure that all sharp tools, fuel, chemicals, and other

hazardous substances are stored in a secure, locked area. A simple latch may not be sufficient.

Insect Bites and Stings•Minimize the risk of attracting insects by not wearing

strong perfumes or scented lotions;•Avoid wearing brightly coloured clothing outdoors;•Consider destroying or •relocating hives and nests situated near your home;•To avoid injury through inadvertently stepping on a

stinging insect always wear footwear outdoors;•If your child has received an ‘EpiPen, Junior’ prescrip-

tion from your physician (for anaphylactic reactions only) ensure they understand when and how to use it;•If your child experiences a severe reaction to an insect

sting, or other environmental cause, seek medical at-tention, or call 9-1-1.

Stephanie Kusie1168 - 137th Avenue South East, Calgary, Alberta T2J 6T6

[email protected] 403-225-3480 403-225-3504

Monthly UpdateStephanie wants to keep you updated on some of the work she has been doing on your behalf. In addition to meeting with stakeholders and attending Committee meetings on Environment, Status of Women, Health and Public Accounts, she has represented the Official Oppo-sition at several events recently, including the Opening of the 107 Order of the Eastern Star Grand Chapter Ses-sion, where support was announced for a number of worthy Albertan charities.

At the end of May, Stephanie and her colleagues ad-dressed the mishandling of the Kinder Morgan pipeline by the Liberal government which will cost Canadians billions of dollars.

Videos of Stephanie’s speeches and questions can be found at stephaniekusiemp.ca, or at https://www.face-book.com/stephaniekusiepolitician/.

Supporting The Energy IndustryAlthough Justin Trudeau may say he supports Alberta’s energy industry, his actions show otherwise. We saw the mismanagement of the TransMountain Pipeline and he also put forward the legislation, C-69, which blocks pipeline construction. This bill creates additional regu-latory hurdles and removes the certainty, predictability and clarity needed for the viability of major energy proj-ects in Canada. The House of Commons Environment Committee recently studied the new bill. Although the Official Opposition brought forward witnesses to show how damaging this legislation will be for Canada, the Liberal government refuses to reconsider Bill C-69. With-out pipelines, there is no access to new markets, putting the losses for Canada at hundreds of billions of dollars.

Status Of Women UpdateAs a member of the Standing Committee for the Status of Women, Stephanie has been participating in related studies on the policies, programs, and legislation.

The most recent studies are the Economic Security of Women and Indigenous Women in the Correctional System.

The former intends to identify the problems affecting women’s income, possible tools to strengthen women’s economy security, and ways to increase women’s entry participation, retention and representation in leadership and high-paying positions. The findings and recommen-dations from this study will be released shortly.

Committee Members took on the latter study as, while indigenous women represent only 3.8 per cent of the population, 37% of women in Canadian prisons are indigenous. Stephanie and her colleagues called on experts to help determine why, and how the federal government can assist in breaking the cycle of incarcer-ation. The final report will be available at http://www.ourcommons.ca/Committees/en/FEWO in the coming weeks.

60s ScoopThe Sixties Scoop refers to a practice that occurred in Canada of taking, or “scooping up”, Indigenous children from their families and communities for placement in foster homes or adoption. Despite the reference to one decade, the Sixties Scoop began in the late 1950s and persisted into the 1980s.On behalf of the Alberta Party Caucus I apologize for this disturbing practice. You can view my formal apology on my Facebook page: RickFra-serYYCSE (May 29th, 2018)

Councillor, Ward 13 Diane Colley-Urquhart

Bridlewood Traffic LightsWith many area residents bringing their traffic concerns to the attention of both City Road crews and the Ward 13 office, I was happy to assist Bridlewood residents with the much-needed traffic installation improvements at Bridle-wood Drive. Sitting in the living room of local residents, I saw and heard firsthand about the safety concerns for families.

With the Protected T-Intersection, there is now one lane of free flow traffic in the northbound and southbound direction on James McKevitt Road. This will still provide for good traffic flow on James McKevitt Road, while nar-rowing the width of the intersection causing traffic to slow down considerably. Eastbound traffic turning left from Bridlewood Road onto northbound James McKevitt Road will have a dedicated lane to turn onto northbound James McKevitt Road. You will note that barriers have been installed to separate northbound through traf-fic and eastbound traffic to allow for a left-hand turn to go northbound. Already traffic patterns in the area have changed. We will continue to monitor this area.

Sincere thanks to Monoj and Kavita Sarmah, and their neighbors, Hemanta and Binita Shrestha and Shreeram Neupane for caring about your community and your dedi-cation to public safety. As well, huge thanks to Troy Mc-Leod, Director of Roads, and his team on this project and for their tireless work in conjunction with the Ward 13 of-fice and its constituents. This dedication to community is one of the reasons Ward 13 is a great place to raise a family.

Playground UpdatesA number of playgrounds within Ward 13 will be receiv-ing facelifts including the Somerset playground located at 156 Somercrest Grove SW. The old equipment is being completely replaced, and installation is expected to be completed by the end of June. There will be a brief period of site rehabilitation after construction is complete, but it will be open to the public as quickly as possible. Please let me know if you have safety concerns about any of our playground areas and equipment.

Summer TipsWith six months of winter over, and hot sunny days ex-tending into beautiful evenings, everyone will be spend-

ing a lot more time outdoors. Have a safe and enjoyable Calgary summer!

Fire Pit Usage:Always check to see if a fire ban is in effect before starting a fire. Call 311 to report a complaint about a backyard fire pit, or 911 to report an out of control fire pit. To see the rules for having a fire pit, please visit the Fire Pit Safety page on The City of Calgary website.

Water Safety:If heading out on the water, check river conditions, flow rate and weather conditions. Be sure someone knows where you are going and how long you’ll be gone. Always wear a life jacket—these are required regardless of swim-mer strength or water depth. Remember to always keep young children within arm’s reach—the Lifesaving Soci-ety recommends anyone under 7 years of age always be within arm’s reach. Regardless of age, swimming know-ledge is important!

Meaning: A difficult or awkward situation; a mess.

Origin: A kettle in this case refers to a long pan meant for poaching large fish. The use of the phrase “may be an allusion to the confusion of bones, head and skin that is left in fish-kettles after the fish has been eaten.” (Martin, Gary. www.phrases.org.uk)
