Spring is just around the corner and for many of us that means popping open the windows and cleaning away win-ter’s dust and dirt. But before you start using the cleaners under your sink, take a moment to look at the products you have and examine the ingredients on each of their labels. You might be surprised at what you � nd (or don’t � nd!).
Labelling on cleaning products is voluntary for cleaning product manufacturers in Canada; so you may not be able to � nd what you are spraying around the house just by looking at the bottle. Imagine eating a bowl of cereal from a box with no ingredients or an incomplete list of ingredients. What’s not being listed that we’re exposing ourselves to?
Because there are so few regulations limiting what companies can put into their products, most conven-tional cleaning supplies (even the ones that say they are “green”) contain hazardous ingredients that are known to be harmful to people and the environment. The one place we can control our exposure is in our homes, by
limiting the toxic cleaners and personal care products we bring in.
When shopping for cleaners follow these simple rules:1. Only choose products with a full listing of ingredients2. Get to know the ingredients of concern and try to
avoid them3. Look for companies with a dedication to human
health and the environment4. Look for companies with third party certi� cation
(such as the Canadian Environmental Choice or EcoLogo)
Another option – and in our opinion, the easiest and most a� ordable option – is to make products yourself with just a few simple ingredients: white vinegar, bak-ing soda, salt, lemon juice, castile soap and maybe some essential oils.
Happy spring cleaning!

At the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (CWRS) we intake and treat many animals that have been harmed through their interactions with humans and human activities. This harm can come in the form of physical injury such as window strikes, bullet wounds, electrocution and car hits. It can also come in less tan-gible forms sustained innocuously by ignorance and/or by well intentioned citizens. Such was the case in November of 2012 when an odd White-tailed Prairie Hare (WTPH) was dropped o� at the centre. The WTPH was brought in by a family who had found the hare as a baby and believing it was orphaned, took it in to raise as a learning experience for their children. As the hare matured it became aggressive attacking the members of the family spurring them to bring the animal to us. It was a strange animal indeed, for it, at � rst, seemed almost domesticated, friendly enough to come and smell one’s hand but this was an illusion for a moment later the hare would rear up and attack with its front paws. It was a very sad state of a� airs almost as though the hare didn’t know what it was. It is a terrible thing to observe an animal trapped between its dependence of humans for food and its own powerful instincts.
Many people � nd wild animals fascinating and desire closeness with them. At CWRS we receive numerous calls from the public about keeping wildlife as pets. Not only is this illegal, possibly resulting in � nes and jail time, but it is also dangerous to humans and harm-ful to the animal in question. Wild animals have very strong instincts that can take tens of thousands of years to breed out of them in the form of domesti-cation; captive wild animals are not domesticated! A captive wild animal is robbed of its natural fear of hu-mans which is critical for its survival. Wild animals also have very speci� c nutritional needs that are di� cult to meet in captivity. An inadequate diet can permanently injure or kill that animal. Wild animals are often highly stressed in captive environments which can lead to life-threatening illnesses. In short, wild animals do not make good pets!
This is perfectly illustrated by this White-tailed Prairie Hare story. Despite the family’s best e� orts, the hare was aggressive and dangerous, which is how it ended up in our clinic. Luckily the hare’s instincts were strong and when left alone with minimal human contact it started to exhibit normal hare behaviour and was suc-cessfully released back into the wild where it belongs.
CWRS expends a signi� cant amount of energy teach-ing the public about wild animals and how we can minimize human wildlife con� ict. One of those mes-sages is to leave baby hares alone when found in the wild because it is normal and natural for mother hares to leave their young for long periods of time. We also are often in the position of informing the public of the perils of keeping wild animals as pets, for themselves, their families and for the animal in question. The best way to for the public to enjoy wild animals is to keep them wild, protect their habitats and safeguard their right to live the natural life they were meant to.

"Up with the other one," ordered the burglar. "You might be amphibious and shoot with your left. You can count two, can't you? Hurry up, now."
"Can't raise the other one," said the citizen, with a contor-tion of his lineaments.
"What's the matter with it?"
"Rheumatism in the shoulder."
"In� ammatory?"
"Was. The in� ammation has gone down." The burglar stood for a moment or two, holding his gun on the af-� icted one. He glanced at the plunder on the dresser and then, with a half-embarrassed air, back at the man in the bed. Then he, too, made a sudden grimace.
"Don't stand there making faces," snapped the citizen, bad-humouredly. "If you've come to burgle why don't you do it? There's some stu� lying around."
"'Scuse me," said the burglar, with a grin; "but it just socked me one, too. It's good for you that rheumatism and me happens to be old pals. I got it in my left arm, too. Most anybody but me would have popped you when you wouldn't hoist that left claw of yours."
"How long have you had it?" inquired the citizen.
"Four years. I guess that ain't all. Once you've got it, it's you for a rheumatic life -- that's my judgment."
"Ever try rattlesnake oil?" asked the citizen, interestedly.
"Gallons," said the burglar. "If all the snakes I've used the oil of was strung out in a row they'd reach eight times as far as Saturn, and the rattles could be heard at Valparaiso, Indiana, and back."
"Some use Chiselum's Pills," remarked the citizen.
"Fudge!" said the burglar. "Took 'em � ve months. No good. I had some relief the year I tried Finkelham's Extract, Balm of Gilead poultices and Potts's Pain Pulverizer; but I think it was the buckeye I carried in my pocket what done the trick."
"Is yours worse in the morning or at night?" asked the citizen.
"Night," said the burglar; "just when I'm busiest. Say, take down that arm of yours -- I guess you won't -- Say! did you ever try Blickersta� 's Blood Builder?"
"I never did. Does yours come in paroxysms or is it a steady pain?"
The burglar sat down on the foot of the bed and rested his gun on his crossed knee.
The burglar stepped inside the window quickly, and then he took his time. A burglar who respects his art always takes his time before taking anything else.
The house was a private residence. By its boarded front door and untrimmed Boston ivy the burglar knew that the mis-tress of it was sitting on some oceanside piazza telling a sym-pathetic man in a yachting cap that no one had ever under-stood her sensitive, lonely heart. He knew by the light in the third-story front windows, and by the lateness of the season, that the master of the house had come home, and would soon extinguish his light and retire. For it was September of the year and of the soul, in which season the house's good man comes to consider roof gardens and stenographers as vanities, and to desire the return of his mate and the more durable blessings of decorum and the moral excellencies.
The burglar lighted a cigarette. The guarded glow of the match illuminated his salient points for a moment. He be-longed to the third type of burglars.
This third type has not yet been recognized and accepted. The police have made us familiar with the � rst and second. Their classi� cation is simple. The collar is the distinguishing mark.
When a burglar is caught who does not wear a collar he is described as a degenerate of the lowest type, singularly vi-cious and depraved, and is suspected of being the desper-ate criminal who stole the handcu� s out of Patrolman Hen-nessy's pocket in 1878 and walked away to escape arrest.
The other well-known type is the burglar who wears a collar. He is always referred to as a Ra� es in real life. He is invariably a gentleman by daylight, breakfasting in a dress suit, and pos-ing as a paperhanger, while after dark he plies his nefarious occupation of burglary. His mother is an extremely wealthy and respected resident of Ocean Grove, and when he is con-ducted to his cell he asks at once for a nail � le and the Police Gazette. He always has a wife in every State in the Union and � ancees in all the Territories, and the newspapers print his matrimonial gallery out of their stock of cuts of the ladies who were cured by only one bottle after having been given up by � ve doctors, experiencing great relief after the � rst dose.
The burglar wore a blue sweater. He was neither a Ra� es nor one of the chefs from Hell's Kitchen. The police would have been ba� ed had they attempted to classify him. They have not yet heard of the respectable, unassuming burglar who is neither above nor below his station.
This burglar of the third class began to prowl. He wore no masks, dark lanterns, or gum shoes. He carried a 88-cali-bre revolver in his pocket, and he chewed peppermint gum thoughtfully.
The furniture of the house was swathed in its summer dust protectors. The silver was far away in safe-deposit vaults. The burglar expected no remarkable "haul." His objective point was that dimly lighted room where the master of the house should be sleeping heavily after whatever solace he had sought to lighten the burden of his loneliness. A "touch" might be made there to the ex-tent of legitimate, fair professional pro� ts -- loose money, a watch, a jewelled stick-pin -- nothing exorbitant or be-yond rea son. He had seen the window left open and had taken the chance.
The burglar softly opened the door of the lighted room. The gas was turned low. A man lay in the bed asleep. On the dresser lay many things in confusion -- a crumpled roll of bills, a watch, keys, three poker chips, crushed cigars, a pink silk hair bow, and an unopened bottle of bromo-seltzer for a bulwark in the morning.
The burglar took three steps toward the dresser. The man in the bed suddenly uttered a squeaky groan and opened his eyes. His right hand slid under his pillow, but remained there.
"Lay still," said the burglar in conversational tone. Burglars of the third type do not hiss. The citizen in the bed looked at the round end of the burglar's pistol and lay still.
"Now hold up both your hands," commanded the burglar.
The citizen had a little, pointed, brown-and-gray beard, like that of a painless dentist. He looked solid, esteemed, irritable, and disgusted. He sat up in bed and raised his right hand above his head.
"It jumps," said he. "It strikes me when I ain't looking for it. I had to give up second-story work because I got stuck sometimes half-way up. Tell you what -- I don't believe the bloomin' doctors know what is good for it."
"Same here. I've spent a thousand dollars without getting any relief. Yours swell any?"
"Of mornings. And when it's goin' to rain -- great Christopher!"
"Me, too," said the citizen. "I can tell when a streak of hu-midity the size of a table-cloth starts from Florida on its way to New York. And if I pass a theatre where there's an 'East Lynne' matinee going on, the moisture starts my left arm jumping like a toothache."
"It's undiluted -- hades!" said the burglar.
"You're dead right," said the citizen.
The burglar looked down at his pistol and thrust it into his pocket with an awkward attempt at ease.
"Say, old man," he said, constrainedly, "ever try opodeldoc?"
"Slop!" said the citizen angrily. "Might as well rub on res-taurant butter."
"Sure," concurred the burglar. "It's a salve suitable for lit-tle Minnie when the kitty scratches her � nger. I'll tell you what! We're up against it. I only � nd one thing that eases her up. Hey? Little old sanitary, ameliorating, lest-we-for-get Booze. Say -- this job's o� -- 'scuse me -- get on your clothes and let's go out and have some. 'Scuse the liberty, but -- ouch! There she goes again!"
"For a week," said the citizen. "I haven't been able to dress myself without help. I'm afraid Thomas is in bed, and --"
"Climb out," said the burglar, "I'll help you get into your duds."
The conventional returned as a tidal wave and � ooded the citizen. He stroked his brown-and-gray beard.
"It's very unusual --" he began.
"Here's your shirt," said the burglar, "fall out. I knew a man who said Omberry's Ointment � xed him in two weeks so he could use both hands in tying his four-in-hand."
As they were going out the door the citizen turned and started back.
"Liked to forgot my money," he explained; "laid it on the dresser last night."
The burglar caught him by the right sleeve.
"Come on," he said blu� y. "I ask you. Leave it alone. I've got the price. Ever try witch hazel and oil of wintergreen?"

INVESTING 404Investing 101 is to buy a house, pay off your mortgage and set some money aside for a rainy day.
Investing 202 introduces you to Canada Saving Bonds, GICs, RRSPs and TFSAs.
Investing 303 involves mutual funds, stocks and more sophisticated investments
Investing 404 looks into alternatives after the foundation of your investments has been established. With extra money one can buy a bigger house, purchase a vacation property, invest in works of art or look at other things to collect that should increase in value or at least keep up with infl ation.
For the past 64 years the Calgary Numismatic Society (CNS) has quietly been providing a forum where investors in coins, paper money, tokens or other forms of money can meet, discuss, debate and decide on the value of a great many items relating to all forms of money. In the 1960s coin collecting became a craze with all manner of people getting into the hobby with absurd profi ts being made. The silver crash of 1970 brought this to an abrupt end and many were left with large losses.
Since then the value of coins and other quality numismatic items have kept pace with infl ation. Those who do the research, do not expect to get rich overnight and invest in quality items have found both an enjoyable hobby and a way to build alternative assets in their investment portfolio.
The CNS welcomes new members who want to further their knowledge about this investment alternative. The club meets ten times a year (except July and August) on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:30 pm at the following southwest Calgary location:

Matching the insurance customer with the company that wants to insure those kinds of customers results in a good rate for the customer and a good customer for the insurer. It is not any more complicated than that!
