Metal in candy cuts boy's tongue
(From the CBC website)
Food safety officials are considering a recall after a Calgary boy sliced his tongue on a piece of metal embedded in a popular candy he bought at a store in the city's southeast.
Sloan Anderson, 11, suffered the minor cut Sunday after he chewed a Ring Pop — a candy formed as a gem and attached to a plastic ring — and discovered a piece of metal inside. It was about the size of the tip of a ball-point pen.

Girls swarmed on way to school
Two girls fled a pack of bullies who ambushed them early Wednesday on a northeast street and ran to a nearby school for safety.
Police said the girls, aged 13 and 14, who were apparently on their way to school, were jumped by a group of five to six teens as they walked near Castleridge Dr. just before 10 a.m.
Sgt. Mike Lomore said police have yet to determine a motive behind the attack believed to be launched by the group of girls and boys.
There is no relationship between the victims and the assailants.
“It looks like it was a non-sensical confrontation,” he said.

After school excitement
We had a minor grass fire create some excitement at approximately 2:30 PM, 
Thursday, March 11. Students noticed a slight burning smell in the air and a small grass fire near the back hill, southwest of the grade six doors was discovered. The fire department was notified and administration determined that the situation was not a threat to the school or any students.
A crew arrived quickly and put out the slow moving fire. Fortunately, the fire fighters had extinguished the burn and left the area before students were dismissed at 2:51 PM. Many students would have remained completely unaware had we not made an announcement at the end of the day, asking kids to stay away from the blackened grass.
As Spring approaches, this serves as a reminder of how dry conditions are. While the cause of the fire is undetermined, simple reminders to properly dispose of cigarettes could go a long way to alleviating such occurrences.
