weddings blended families may
have to employ certain tactics to ensure the
events go off without a hitch.
When planning their weddings, couples must give consid-

is about the union of two people, oftentimes couples engaged
to be married must contend with the politics of divorce or
other familial issues. This includes if and how to incorporate
stepparents and stepsiblings into the ceremony and celebra-

There are no traditional rules regarding how to handle
blended families, so brides- and grooms-to-be can custom-

Even when families have been happy through the years, the

Ways to give back to local schools
S
chools frequently serve as a home
away from home for millions of
students. Although children regularly
spend six or more hours per day
inside the classroom and schools are
instrumental in shaping the lives of students,
many schools are making due with very few
resources.
The Center of Budget and Policy Priorities says that, in

the United States, education budgets are providing less per-
pupil funding for kindergarten through 12th grade than they
did just a few years ago. Whats more, local school districts
typically have little recourse to replace lost state aid on their
own.
Similar scenarios are playing out in Canada. Canadian
education budgets are being slashed. Many provinces have
been forced to re-examine their education budgets and make
serious cuts to keep schools operational. Declining enroll-
ment in Ontario could lead to school closures, while in 2014
in Qubec, nine of 69 school boards made cuts to specialized
staff. These staff members included guidance counselors,
speech therapists, psychologists and social
workers.
Schools have various needs that must be addressed. Finan-
cial donations and/or volunteer work is one way to address teachers regularly tap into their own money to buy supplies Volunteer in other ways. Volunteer to lead a committee or

PET CARE CORNER | THE WORLD
How to introduce a new pet to existing pets

M
any people are excited by the
prospect of introducing a new
pet into their homes. In the midst
of such excitement, it can be
easy to overlook the potential feelings exist-
ing pets may have about sharing their homes
with new animals.
Unfortunately, pets dont get to know one another with
a handshake and a hello. In addition, pet owners cannot
force companion animals to like one another. What they can
do is make the introduction process as positive as possible.
According to Healthy Paws Pet Insurance, 42 percent of
American households are multiple-pet families, so peaceful
cohabitation is possible. Whether the introduction involves
animals of the same species or a hopeful friendship between
cat and dog, follow these tips to increase the chances for a
successful rst meeting.
Employ sense of smell. Some dogs and cats will posture
if they make eye contact with a new animal, according to
PetMD. Submissive or dominant responses can cause stress
to the animals and may create a negative rst meeting. Some-
times its best if pets meet through scent instead of sight.
Separate the pets in different rooms or cages, allowing them
to grow accustomed to the smell of the other animal before
actually meeting it. Exchange blankets with each pets scent
between the cages.
Contain and release. Let the new pet have roam of the
house for a little while before containing it to a room or
cage. This allows the animal to start leaving its scent around
the house. Follow the same technique with the other pet.
Eventually the animals will grow a deeper bond through
scent articles and grow accustomed to the sounds and smells
of each other.
Introduce dogs or cats on neutral territory. Existing pets
may feel the need to defend their territory or protect their
owners if they meet a new animal inside of the house. When encounter with treats. The introduction process is not something pet owners
