MARCIE GRAYSt. Albert Leader

Want some marijuana? No problem.

How about cocaine? Ecstasy? Heroin? Sure.

Drugs of all sorts are in St. Albert, and any young person can get their hands on whatever they want, say the local RCMP.

At the Leader, were engaging in awkward conversations about issues affecting our youth, and the citys drug scene might just be the most uncomfortable, secretive and confounding topic. Teens weve contacted dont want to speak up. Principals dont want to talk in case their schools get a druggie label.

But the head of the RCMPs drug unit in St. Albert has a clear message.

If there is a drug theyve heard about, they can get it, says Corporal Layne Wakefield, pointing to the fact that were attached to a major centre: Edmonton.

Wakefield, sitting down in conversation with a couple of other officers, notes that in his work trying to stop trafficking, the most common drug he sees is cocaine, followed by marijuana, fentanyl (an opioid much more potent than morphine or heroin) and party drugs such as ecstasy.

His colleague, Constable M.J. Burroughs, is a school resource officer at Paul Kane and Bellerose Composite High Schools. She says

she hears teens in the hallways talking about cocaine and fentanyl, but few kids actually use these drugs. They end up stealing to support their habit and soon drop out.

Alcohol, she says, is the drug of choice. Next on the list is marijuana. Burroughs is quick to add that no high school in St. Albert is better or worse off when it comes to the drug scene, especially since students are connected across schools through social media.

The officers observations are backed up by a survey done in September 2013. Conducted for the

City by Search Institute, the survey, Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes and Behaviors, involved more than 3,600 students in grades 7 to

11, from both public and Catholic schools.

Alcohol, the survey found, is the most commonly used drug, with marijuana coming in second. An average of 13 per cent of respondents said theyd used marijuana once or more in the last 12 months. Not surprisingly, the older the student, the more likely it was that they smoked pot. In grade 7, one per cent of students used pot; that rose to 19 per cent of students in grade 10 and 31 per cent in grade 11.

A smaller proportion of students admitted to using drugs more regularly, with 24 per cent of grade 11 students saying theyd used illicit drugs on multiple occasions in the last 12 months. (The survey

results dont break this down by drug, but illicit drugs

included using marijuana three or more times

in the last year or using LSD, heroin or amphetamines on two or more occasions.)

The students also reported whether theyd used drugs in the month leading up

to the survey. One per cent of kids in grade

7 admitted to using marijuana at least once.

That number rose to 20 per cent of grade 11 students.

Across these results, a higher percentage of boys used marijuana than girls.

Wakefield says that young people try to tell him they know pot is safe and natural because theyve read about its wonders on a blog.

Ill talk to them about things Ive observed myself, like when I go into a grow operation, how disgusting the house is. All the chemicals and pesticides that are put on top of that natural herb and not cleaned off before it is sold to be smoked.

Then theres the fact that marijuana is much more potent than it used to be. Wakefield says that, in the 1960s and 70s, ditch weed had about four per cent THC (the main chemical that gives you a high). Today, THC can be more than 25 per cent, and thats if you smoke it. Extract the resins and oils, and you can get a THC content of 80 per cent.

No street drug is pure, he adds.Every drug use is a game of

Russian roulette. You dont know whats in it. We find stuff and send it to labs, and it comes back as inconclusive with other drugs. Half the stuff in there is unknown.

Experimentation is not something that should be done with drugs. Its not a life experience that needs to happen.

Awkward conversations: Drugs they are all here In part three of a ve-part series about awkward conversations we need to have with St. Albert youth, the Leader looks at street drugs. Every drug use is a game of Russian

roulette. You dont know whats in it. We nd stuff and send it to labs, and it comes back as inconclusive with other drugs. Half the stuff in there is unknown.

Big nes for distracted driving

LEADER STAFFSt. Albert Leader

In their ef forts to make the message sink in, the RCMP continues to work to get the message out to youth and adult drivers about the new distracted driv ing f ines.

The ef fort to curb distracted driv ing has received a boost, as the f ine has now increased to $287.00.

According to the Traf f ic Safety in Alberta website (w w w.saferoads.com), drivers aged 22 to 24 were the age group with the highest distracted driv ing convict ion rate at

13.5 convict ions per 1,000 l icensed drivers (Apri l 1st , 2013 to March 31st, 2014).

As part of the event, AMA was providing drivers with red thumb rings as a way to remind drivers not to text or use their cel l phone whi le driv ing.

In addit ion to texting and use of a cel l phone, the law a lso applies to using electronic devices, entering information on GPS units, reading printed materia ls, writ ing, printing, sketching andfor those who l ike to improve their looks whi le driv ingpersonal grooming.

SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES Albertas rookie MLAs received a crash course in Politics 101 on Tuesday.

All 70 of Albertas first-time politicians and their spouses attended an all-day orientation meeting at the Alberta Legislature where Speaker Gene Zwozdesky explained their roles in the assembly, the services they can access and how to operate a constituency office in their community. The group was the largest ever to receive MLA orientation.

In a speech, Zwozdesky stressed that MLAs have great power, and with it comes great responsibility.

You are carrying on a tradition that goes back centuries. People have lived and died for the privilege youre about to enjoy in this chamber, he said, preparing the newbies for the intensity of the debate.

Emotion can overcome you in this chamber, unlike anything youve ever felt before. It can engulf you, it can enrage you, it can frighten you,

it can also make you laugh out loud on occasion. We experience a range of emotions here.

Zwozdesky explained the roles of the Legislative Assembly Office and the various government offices. He advised MLAs to brush up on parliamentary tradition, brandishing Albertas Standing Orders guide and an intimidatingly large House of Commons Practice and Procedure manual.

NDP Edmonton-Glenora MLA-elect Sarah Hoffman said she was thrilled to be able to get to know her new colleagues better during the day-long briefing. Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark, elected as the MLA for Calgary-Elbow, said the new group of MLAs represents a real chance to reset how politics work, how government works in Alberta.

Zwozdesky, who lost his seat in Edmonton-Mill Creek, will remain as Speaker until the house reconvenes and the MLAs choose a new speaker from within their ranks. The new MLAs are expected to be sworn-in in the coming weeks.

WHOIS THIS?Heres a photo of a well known

local St. Albert citizen. Can you gure out who it is?

Last Week: Wes Brodhead, St. Albert City Councillor

It almost felt as if they were reading from a script. Or maybe a playbook.Yes, a playbook titled The Big Game of Political Blunders: How to Totally Blow Up Your Political Career, Your Party and More.

Who will read and execute the plays? The coach and general manager, former Premier Jim Prentice, of course.

Hell begin at chapter three: Even though we dont need it, and it may come across as power-hungry to the electorate, well have the leader of the Wildrose Party cross the floor. Oh boy, people will love that. Touchdown for sure!

Chapter four: Fixed election dates. I know you dont think this is the right time for an election, but I do.

Chapter five will have a mirror on the page. Surely this cant be for me, says the coach. I shall hold up the page so that everyone else can look into the mirror and see whose fault it really is.

Jumping to chapter seven: Invite some party supporters to warn the public of the gloom and doom theyll face by voting for the NDP. Be sure to mention that theyll pull their funding of charity groups while they are at it, or well surely not score on this play.

The final chapter? When you have your butt handed to you, immediately quit and take your ball from the playground. Complete this chapter in the play book, or you risk dabbling in politics again.

It was mastered from start to finish. A new voice is in the legislature, and there is

likely much change on the way.Diving into the budget, were fairly confident

that well hear phrases like Its worse than we thought, and as the NDP finds ways to appease their major supporters across the province, they will end up conceding on some plans and will likely drift back towards the centre: a place that will make both sides a little bit grumpy, but not such a bad place to be.

A new playbook is being written. Lets hope it is much better than the last one.

Do you think you know cartoons? Loony Tunes, TMNT, Pokmon? Now take all of that and throw it out the window.

Eek! Feststarteda new partnership in 2015 with the team at theGlobal Visions Film Festival so that they could present their first ever animation festival as part of the weekend festivities at Servus Place, May 30 and 31. You may think you know animation, but you havent seen this kind before.

Eek! attendees will have a chance to see animation shorts that have never been seen in this area before. Six different 30-minute blocks will run each day during Eek! Fest, each

built around a different theme. There will be several animation shorts from all corners of the world in each block. Theyll be shown on the big performance screen in the Go Auto arena, one of the four floors the show will be using, and they will be free to watch for anyone who has a pass to Eek! Fest.

The animation shorts come from countries such as Poland, Germany, South Korea, USA, Brazil and several others.

Brad Ambury, president of the Global Visions Film Festival, says attendees are in for a special treat.

For people who have an idea in their head of what animation is ... this will provide them with an opportunity to see the kind of animations that are being made

around the world and dont fit into that nice, neat, tidy package that were used to watching. A lot of these films will challenge Canadian viewers.

The goal of the event is to help foster more Canadian animation

and provide another venue to show them. Few of the submissions to the Global Visions Film Festival are Canadian, and thats something that can change as the event grows.

We want to make sure theyre aware of the opportunities, because the cost of submitting to these festivals is minimal. There are a lot of student animators, developers, and filmmakers who would take the opportunity ... to have their films screened professionally, said Ambury.

Each 30-minute block will be played once a day, so check the schedule when you arrive at Eek! Fest to see which block is coming up.

Of course, for those who like their animation a little more

likeSaturdaymornings from their childhood, theyll have that covered as well.Those who have weekend passes will get to enjoy a special treat. The big screen will transform into a piece of your childhood as a variety of old-school cartoons are featured. The exact lineup is still being determined, butthe doors will open on Sundayat9 a.m. for two hours of cartoons and breakfast cereal. Thats right, they are bringing in 500 mini boxes of your favourite cereal for all to enjoy while watching some cartoons.

Bring the kids and relive some old cartoons together while you have a breakfast of cereal, and then stay for the rest of Eek! Fest. The doors to the rest of the show will open at11 a.m.

Annual cleaning of water park on tap


If swimming indoors was in your calendar for next week, it is best to start making other plans. The Landrex Water Play Park at Servus Credit Union Place closes for its annual spruce-up on Tuesday, May 19th.

The closure gives the City the opportunity to complete equipment life cycle replacements as well as perform annual maintenance and a deep clean of the facility.

During this closure, there are other swimming options available to residents and pass holders at Fountain Park Recreation Centre.

In addition, the free-access Woodlands Water Play Park opens on May 16th, and the Grosvenor Outdoor Pool is opening May 23rd.

The city plans to reopen all of the swimming areas on May 26th, except for the tots pool, which is scheduled to reopen May 30th.

RCMP and Neighbourhood Watch team up


This week, to kick off Alberta Crime Prevention Week.

Partnering with volunteers from the Neighborhood Watch, officers took to the streets to distribute awareness pamphlets in the Riverside and Erin Ridge areas of St. Albert.

They are encouraging people to report

suspicious activity to the RCMP. In addition, they took the opportunity

to speak with residents about hosting block parties in their neighbourhood as a way of building strong, connected neighborhoods.

The City of St. Albert continues to promote the block party program, as it is a critical element in developing a caring and safe community, and they encourage residents to call the FCSS (780-459-1756) to register their party.

Road Rage tourney full and ready for 2015LEADER STAFFSt. Albert Leader

The outdoor courts wil l be bursting at the seams, as the Road Rage street hockey tournament, taking place May 23rd and 24th in the south parking lot of Servus Credit Union Place, is ful ly subscribed this year.

Being our third year of putting on this fun weekend event, it s pretty exciting to see how it has grown in such a short time, offered former NHL great Rob Brown, one of the tournament organizers.

Over 500 kids, aged four to sixteen, wil l be batt ling it out over the weekend for the Road Rage cup.

The teams in the 3-on-3 tournament are comprised of six players and a goalie. The organizers encourage teams to have fun and even pick a fun theme to dress up for the weekend. Each team is guaranteed a minimum of three games over the two-

day tournament, and al l the kids get to enjoy a bag full of goodies, including t-shirts, water bott les and more.

As the event grows, so does the support of local sponsors, including ATB Financial, Go Auto, Trail Tire, Riverside Marine, 630 Ched, Coca-Cola, Canadian Arena Products, Active Physio and more.

Were so thankful for the community support we receive from our sponsors. It clearly shows that there is value in this fun family event when we get that kind of sponsor support, said Brown.

The tournament has seen most types of weather in its f irst two yearseverything from pouring rain to beautiful sunshine. That has added to the memories of the event.

We go rain or shine and everything in between, but it wil l be a beautiful sunshine-f i l led weekend. I guarantee it, Brown said with a smile.

Sound dental hygiene practices cannever start too early. Bringing youngstersfor a visit to the dentist early on can be thebeginning of a habit that will ensure gooddental health for a lifetime but also ensureany issues can be addressed immediately.And thankfully, the dental experience isfundamentally different now than it wasyears ago. Many of us more mature peopleremember the dreaded trek to the dentistsas children when we were expected to sitstill and open wide. Dental techniqueswere not quite as sophisticated then anda certain level of discomfort was to beexpected. Improved techniques, trainingand a very different philosophical approachhas made a trip to the dentists these days acompletely different experience. And thisgeneration of dentists possess an impressiverange of skills and experience. Case inpoint is Dr. Andrew Schmidt, DDS, ofLacombe Park Dental. A general familydentist, Dr. Schmidt also does work withimplants.After working in St. Albert at another

dental practice for five years, Dr. RonBeauchamp, DDS, decided to openLacombe Park Dental in 2002. It consistedof Dr. Beauchamp, office manager KristenBodnarchuk, a hygienist, an assistantand only four chairs. The small practicewas perfect for a new dentist just gettingstarted. Since 2002 the dental practicehas physically expanded twice at their St.Albert Trail location to accommodate theirgrowing list of patients.Its been a pleasure serving my patients

over the years and we truly enjoy being

a part of the wonderful city of St. Albert.Our staff are our strongest asset, saysDr. Beauchamp, theyve been loyal anddedicated over the many years we have

been in practice and their friendly, caringdemeanor help our patients enjoy theirdental visits and keep them coming back toour office.Today three dentists and fourteen health

care professionals work at Lacombe ParkDental. Word of mouth referrals and anexcellent location have both contributedto the ongoing growth. A propensity

to perform their own work in-house forprocedures like wisdom teeth extractions orroot canal work is very convenient. Regularongoing training keeps the Lacombe Parkdentists up to speed with the most current

developments in dental technology suchas digital based x-ray technology, needlessanesthetic to facilitate sensitive teethcleanings, or tools like Invisalign; used tohelp with crowding issues or to re-align theteeth of patients who have received priororthodontic treatments.A complete family practice, Lacombe

Park sees quite a few children as patients.Being a mom herself, Dr. Suzanne Degner,DDS readily identifies with the youngerpatients and makes them feel very welcome.If we can make that first visit to the

dentist at a young age fun as opposed toscary, by making it a positive, productiveand healthy experience, states Dr. Degner,it can make a big difference for the rest oftheir lives.Contributing back to the community

has always been an important aspect of thepractice. From the hygienists visiting localschools to talk about good oral habits andsound dental health to having play schoolchildren come in for a tour and discoverhow the big dental chairs work and whatdoes an x-ray look like; the kids discoverthat the dentists office isnt such a bad placeafter all!With summer holidays fast approaching

office manager Kristen Bodnarchukreminds parents that late summer is one ofthe busiest times of the year for any dentalpractice and planning ahead 4-6 weeks isrecommended.Visit lacombeparkdental.com for further

information or call 780-458-7040.Lacombe Park Dental is located at#102 - 506 St. Albert Trail.

It is never too early for dental hygiene

INGREDIENTS So what do we need?

1/2 medium spaghetti squash

1 lb ground beef - can be grass fed if you are real choosy

1 large jar spaghetti sauce - I use organic with no added sugar or preservatives

Italian seasoning

Cheese for topping if you want, parmesan or mozzarella works well - optional, do not use if you are on the Paleo diet*

HOW TO What are the directions?

Cut the squash in half and place cut sides down in a microwave safe dish. Add cup of water, cover and cook on high for about 12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Using a fork remove the spaghetti from the squash. If cooked long enough it will easily come out in large strands.

While the squash is cooking, brown the ground beef.

In a baking dish combine the squash, cooked ground beef, spaghetti sauce and Italian seasoning. If you are using cheese sprinkle it on top.

Bake until heated through, about 25 minutes.

CookingwithDoreen Slessor St. Albert Leaders Executive Director, SAIF Society (Stop Abuse in Families)What dish are you sharing with us today? The recipe I am submitting is a Paleo favourite that even my kids will eat! Its Spaghetti Squash casserole.

What makes it a dish you like to make?I have been eating a Paleo Diet for 3 years now. Has made a huge difference in my health, weight, and way I feel.

What country would you like to visit for their cuisine?I would like to visit Greece.

What is on your food bucket list?All you can eat Seafood Buffet in Vegas was the only one but, did that and totally regretted it. Maybe a wine tour in Sonoma?

Who is your favourite Chef and why?My favourite chef is Jamie Oliver... um for obvious reasons cuz hes so darn cute but also his meals are simple and clean so easy for me to use or modify.

A great meal youve had in St. Albert the last couple months?Fish Tacos at Celtic Knot are my new fave. sometimes I cheat and eat the tortilla.

*Paleo diet is short for Paleolithic diet (also called the caveman diet) which means the food eaten by the human species in the Paleolithic age which was some two million years ago. Early humans at that time usually consumed wild animals and various plant species in order to survive as there was no agricultural practice developed at that time. Some of the contents of a Paleo diet include nuts, roots, fruits, fungi, sh, meat and vegetables and eatables like dairy products, legumes, grains, salt, sugar etc. are eliminated from the diet plan.


SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES The demand to donate blood is never higher than during long-weekends, but the benefits of donating go far beyond emergency patients.

For, Katie Puittinen, 29, following her diagnosis of osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) at the age of just 10-years-old, receiving blood transfusions - specifically platelets, the component of blood that helps with clotting - was an everyday occurrence.

The chemotherapy destroys the immune system and the cancer cells...so my body just needed a little bit of help to bounce back in between treatments, said Puittenen, who was relying on just one donor to provide her with the required platelet transfusions over her four rounds of chemotherapy treatments. She required a platelet transfusion ten days after each treatment. Her cancer ultimately resulted in the amputation of her right leg above the knee.

Today, however, Puittenen lives a normal life and is thankful for the help she received.

I wouldnt be the person I am today if that hadnt happened and if those people didnt help me, said Puittenen.

With the Victoria DaY long weekend approaching, Canadian Blood Services is putting the call out for people to donate blood before they embark on their long-weekend adventures.

Just because its a long weekend doesnt mean nobody needs it for the long weekend - the demand doesnt really go away, said Puittenen, who used to work for Canadian Blood Services but has spent the past six years working as a licensed practical nurse at the Stollery Childrens Hospital. Now that Im on the other side as well at the hospital, sometimes its hard to get. Sometimes the supply gets low and you have to prioritize who gets what. I definitely see the blood going to good use there.

With every blood donation, the unit is separated into three components: red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, which only have a five-day shelf life.

Patients who need platelets, for instance a cancer patient or leukemia patient, they wont stop receiving their treatments on the weekend, said Judy Jones, associate director of donor relations with Canadian Blood Services. She (Katie) needed platelets on a regular basis, and its those patients we have to make sure that we have the products for, not necessarily those emergency patients because we do have the units for those ones -- its about making sure that those patients with ongoing treatments are supported as well.

For more information, or to find a nearby clinic, visit www.blood.ca. You can also book an appointment via your smart phone through the Canadian Blood Services free Give Blood app, available on the Google Play Store and Apple Store.

SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES Not all summer jobs are seasonal - just ask Greg Kirkwood.

What started out as a summer job for the former University of Alberta student quickly morphed into a full-time career. In May 1995, at 22-years-old, Kirkwood founded 310-DUMP, a residential, commercial, and industrial junk removal and dumpster rental services business which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month.

I needed to nd a job to pay my way in the summer, so I got a $3,000 loan, bought a truck, and started doing construction site clean-ups. I got so busy because there wasnt a lot of people who were providing a reliable, dependable service, so things got busy an just took o from there, said Kirkwood. I always wanted to be in business aer I got my degree - that was my intention. So I thought, do I go back to school and put the business on hold? Or do I pursue the opportunity and if it doesnt work out i can go back and

nish my degree?Kirkwood never went back to school

to nish his degree, and hes never regretted that decision.

Today, 310-DUMP has provided more than 100,000 jobs at work sites in Alberta, and has business oces both in Edmonton and Calgary.

Staying true to his roots, 310-DUMP actively employs college and university students during the summer months. Kirkwood says he emphasizes a fun work environment for students and looks forward to imparting some of his experience onto them.

e road to being self-employed is one that requires a lot of work, and sometimes a lot more work than people can envision, said Kirkwood. But like anything, if you apply yourself, and you do a good job success will follow.

Students looking for summer work can apply to work with the government of Alberta through the Student Summer Employment Registration Service, at jobs.alberta.ca.

It started as a summer job

Photo SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICEGreg Kirkwood, founder and president of 310-DUMP, a construction site junk removal service, is celebrating 20 years of business this month. Kirkwood founded the company in May 1995 as a summer job while he was attending the UofA in Edmonton, AB.

Women stepping upBARBARA STEWART - SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES I moderated an all-female panel in April for FEI Canada (Financial Executives International) on capital market innovation.

We covered a lot of ground: the rapid growth of crowdfunding, evolving regulatory changes for nancial institutions, the increasing popularity of idea labs for getting 24-hour approval on potentially game-changing ideas inside large organizations, and the emerging use of analytics to oer mass customization.

e three panellists were brilliant, intense and more than willing to share advice with the next generation. Both the panel discussion and the Q&A that followed provided some ideas for young women who aspire to leadership roles in the business world of 2020 and beyond.

Stop seeking permissionIm worried that my daughter is the

only girl in her media studies class. Is there any hope for her?

Gayemarie Brown, national innovation manager for Deloitte Canada, observed:

Innovation is the great equalizer inviting us all to the table. Digital doesnt care if you are male or female. Innovation doesnt care either.

We must stop seeking permission and just keep jumping in the game or creating our own game. Be proud and optimistic for your daughters. If your daughter is the only girl in her class, in her organization or in her business, she can kick ass!

Start investing earlyWhat is your best tip for a wannabe

female entrepreneur?Teri Kirk, founder and CEO of e

Funding Portal Inc., said: e best way to learn about owning and operating companies is to invest in them. Even if you dont have any money, start a paper portfolio. e process of picking and following companies -- whether a consulting company, boutique or tech start-up -- will help you rene your goals. Seeing yourself as a shareholder

and investor is powerful. Practising with other companies is the best path to securing funding for your own.

Dont put limits on yourselfHow can women get senior positions

in the nancial sector?Jennifer Witzel, senior vice-president

of Global Taxation, Bank of Nova Scotia, told us her own story. It isnt a coincidence that my most signicant career progressions have occurred since my daughter was born. My daughter (now nine years old) has always inspired me. She dances in ballet class on Saturday mornings, and then trades her leotard for hockey equipment to join her otherwise all-boy team for a game in the aernoon. She throws herself into everything she tries, instinctively pushing herself to learn, create and connect. What is remarkable is that she doesnt think this is unusual. My daughter doesnt limit herself, and I try to follow her example.

You become what you think aboutWhen I speak globally about my

research on accomplished women and their nancial success, the question I am asked the most oen by younger girls and women is: What do you think I should be doing to make sure I get the next job in my career path?

I tell them what has always worked for me. If I want to progress in my job or in my life, I force myself to think clearly about what I want and then I visualize a successful outcome. Always remember that you become what you think about.

Some say that girls just wanna have fun. Yes, of course. But the best kept secret in my view? Girls have even more fun when they eventually become leaders in the business world.

BRITTANY KUSTRA Special to the Leader

Can you believe were already halfway through the second quarter of 2015? Here at NABI, that means weve completed our annual small business survey, attended the National Business Incubator Association Conference, and are about to approve our 2014 Annual Report at the AGM. How time flies in the world of small business!

At the end of 2014, publications like Forbes, Business Insider and Entrepreneur.com all published long lists of small business trend predictions for 2015. With a few months of this year already under our belts, weve started seeing which predictions are coming true.

Coworking spaces: Informal, drop-in work stations seem to be the future of

productive startups. In the city of Chicago, there are over 100 different coworking spaces. Typically, a monthly membership provides you the use of a desk, high speed internet, a phone and meeting room spaces. These spaces are on the rise, as theyre perfect for a cash-strapped startup or a freelancer going stir crazy at home.

Data-driven business: We live in a highly technological world,

but technology iss only as useful as you make it.

Earlier this month, Google announced

that, for the first time in history, mobile searches outranked desktop searches globally. Companies that

pay attention to their analytics will

win the race to digital success.Content marketing:

Although the refrain Content is king is rapidly

becoming worn out, it still rings true. As more and more potential customers turn to the web for information, providing relevant content is one of the best ways to catch their interest and assert yourself as an industry expert.

Crowdfunding: Earlier this week, Beaumont couple Darren and Sylvia Cheverie reached their Kickstarter goal. With the funds raised, they plan to open a French restaurant. For wannabe entrepreneurs who dont have the capital required to get going, crowdfunding is becoming an increasingly popular solution.

Brittany Kustra is the communications and marketing coordinator for NABI. Need

help keeping up with the current business trends? Visit www.nabi.ca for more

business tips or to book an appointment.

Business predictions that are coming true

METRO CREATIVE SERVICES According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, working professionals spend an average of 8.5 hours per day at work. Many professionals spend much of their time at work sitting down in front of a computer, which can be detrimental to long-term health.

Staying sedentary for long periods of time can contribute to a host of health ailments, including being overweight and obese. But professionals who work in offices can take various steps to ensure all that time at work is not having an adverse affect on their overall health.

Get out of your seat. Modern workplaces are built around sitting, so workers must find some time to stand up and stretch. Sitting too long can compromise posture and lead to craning of the neck for looking at the computer screen. Get out of your chair, walk

around the office and get the blood moving in your body.

Pack your lunch. Bringing lunch to work puts you in greater control over the foods you are eating. You can pack a healthy and diverse selection of foods. Dont forget to also bring some snacks that offer a healthy mix of protein and carbohydrates to keep your energy levels up. Otherwise, you may succumb to the temptation of the lunchroom snack machine.

Take frequent breaks. Stale air inside an office environment can make you feel fatigued and less productive. Also, spending too much time behind your desk may contribute to feelings of stress and tension. Use every opportunity possible to get up and leave your office. Instead of sending an instant message or making a phone call to a coworker, visit him or her in person. Use your lunch hour to get outside instead

of eating at your desk. Plan a brief, mid-afternoon walk outside of your office to clear your mind and get some fresh air.

Disinfect surfaces often. Oftentimes, when one person at the office gets sick, many others soon follow. Colds and the flu can spread rapidly in close quarters. Keep your desk drawer stocked with some alcohol swabs or disinfecting spray and routinely clean your keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, and desk surfaces. You also can wipe off door handles and knobs around the office if you want to be proactive.

Rest your eyes. Close your eyes and look away from the computer monitor every 20 minutes. Focusing on objects of varying distances can help keep the eyes strong and reduce fatigue.

Its not difficult to remain healthy at work. Breaks, exercise and watching what you eat can help.
