It has been a busy fall for the community association. The kids had a great time at our Halloween party with a chance to show off their costumes to friends before the big night. We also held “Octobeerfest” at the hall on October 16th. As well as enjoying some great beers, we held a silent auction with donated art from local artists. I was surprised to learn we have so much artistic talent in our community. Funds raised at the auction will go towards the new hall capital campaign.

At this event, we also unveiled plans for the new hall. The capital campaign committee has been working very hard on this project and are excited to be able to share these with the community.

If you did not attend the event on the 16th, you can find these plans on our webpage. The committee has brought a lot of enthusiasm to this project and, contingent on a successful fundraising campaign, hope to kick off construction in early 2016.

Our yearly membership drive wrapped up in early October. Thanks to everyone who purchased a membership this year. Membership sales are our primary revenue source for our operating budget, funding our social program, rink operations and many other community programs. If you have not yet purchased your membership, you can sign up on our webpage, or contact our membership director.

Your Official NewsletterCommunity President’s message

The community association has been working with Shaw Communications to have our hall added to their Shaw Go Wifi hot spot program. Shaw customers will be able to access the

internet on their devices while inside the hall as well as the outdoor recreation area to the south. This will provide a benefit to many of our members, as well as make our hall more marketable to prospective tenants. The service will be installed and maintained by Shaw, with no cost to the community association.

CKE Community Association Board Meeting Highlights – October 2014

Submitted by Robin Daigle

The CKE board met on October 8, 2014. I would like to start with saying a HUGE thank you to all the volunteers and community members that participated in this year’s fall clean up and BBQ, October Beer Fest and Halloween event – they all were a huge success and great to see so many people out. It is important to recognize the work that goes into these events and that our planners often are able to pull these events off with little cost to the community association, largely due to generous sponsorship in and around our community.

The board has entered into an agreement with SHAW to have Wi-Fi available in our Community Hall. There is no cost to the community, however this is only available to Shaw account holders. The board is near completion of our three-year business plan and financials. This is a requirement of the City of Calgary and will be submitted to the city upon completion.

Joan Barnett, our city representative, advised the board that the Calgary Census is now available on the city website. The city is still busy cleaning up trees and fallen branches. Please continue to report any requests for service to 311.

The CKE Membership drive has been successful, final numbers will be reported once the drive is complete. Check out the CKE website for more information on memberships, specifically how a membership can benefit you and the community!

The board is working with concerned residents in CKE regarding a proposed subdivision in Kelvin Grove on Kent Road. Due to the growing number of development concerns and potential subdivisions the board is looking at developing a committee to specifically address these concerns.

Our sports director is working with the school again this year on the relay duathlon. Normally this event was held in June. The focus of the event is “Fit and Fun”. The Garden Club had another successful gardening season and the garden has been cleaned up and put to rest for the upcoming winter season. Check out the garden news for further information on what the club has been up to.

Your Official NewsletterCommunity Things To Do

On Friday, October 3rd the CKE Community Garden hosted CBC Radio personality and Master Gardener John Bragg. In our group we find that most gardeners are foodies as well and John is no exception having made a career in the food industry for many years. His presentation on how to preserve herbs was entertaining and enlightening. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the essential oils found in herbs and suggested which are best dried (oregano, marjoram, rosemary, and dill) and frozen (basil, thyme, tarragon and chives). Many of the herbs discussed are those found in the communal beds in the CKE Community Garden! Make note of our next workshop, we welcome more attendees and there is always lots to learn, and gardeners to socialize with.

Our next event will be a movie night coming soon. In the meantime stay connected to your garden in winter by collecting boughs of evergreen trees, twigs of shrubs with colourful bark and stems

with rose hips or berries. These can be arranged in a planter, along with cones and decorations suitable for outdoors. Fairy lights make a nice addition to a winter container, all great for curb appeal or create a focal point for a view from a window. Winter is the fourth gardening season!

Great communities need great gathering places

It’s a cold, wintery night in CKE. The sound of skates, the smell of coffee, and excitement fills the air. On the outdoor rinks, kids are playing a game of shimmy.But all the action is not just on the ice.In the new meeting room, a first aid trainer is holding a workshop for local residents to brush up on lifesaving skills. Another group is playing drop-in floor hockey in the multi-purpose room, while highland dancers are practicing in the studio. At the same time a book club is chatting in front of the fireplace. This is just a typical night at the new CKE hall.

The vision of the new CKE hall is: A place for everyone—a gathering place to meet the growing needs of CKE

A New Facility: Imagine It Now! A new community centre

for CKE will be a versatile and modern gathering place that meets the growing and changing needs of all CKE residents from children to seniors for a variety of meetings, activities and events to maintain a healthy lifestyle.Why a new hall? The current CKE community hall—a house that was donated in the 1960s—is 50 years old and in need of major upgrades. It was initially used as a gathering place for social events, with little recreational sporting use. While not designed as a sport facility, the 2,000 square foot bi-level hall has since become a multi-use recreational sports hub, home to a number of local organizations ranging from football and dance groups to karate and fitness classes.Over the next ten years, the existing hall would need in excess of $400,000 worth of repairs and upgrades recommended by an independent engineering firm. These funds would be far better spent by investing in a new structure that will better meet residents’ needs.The bi-level design makes it difficult for older or mobility impaired residents to use the hall, as they are required to use stairs to access any of the areas. We firmly believe in the growing importance of providing CKE residents from children to seniors, with an affordable and versatile space for a variety of meetings, activities and events to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The recent snowstorm and power outages highlighted the need for the community hall to be able to function as an emergency reception centre for CKE residents if necessary. This modernization and renovation project is aimed at revitalizing the CKE community hall for its next century of service. A new

New CKE Community Hall

hall could use current technology to be more energy efficient and have lower operating and maintenance costs going forward.

PROJECT DETAILSWith full support of the community, we are committed to expanding to accommodate our quickly growing community. Our goal is to provide a year round multi-purpose facility. Plans and a budget for a new hall are based on feedback from residents and a professional feasibility study. The new facility will include:o multi-purpose room for recreational activities (up to 250 people), o studio (up to 50 people),o meeting room (up to 52 people),o additional functional spaces (see website for more detail). Funding the New HallThe estimate for construction of a new hall is $1.65 million—including interior and exterior finishings.This project has charitable status through the Calgary Parks Foundation, which means we can issue tax receipts for direct contributions to the project. We will be pursuing a number of funding sources including government grants, major and corporate gifts, events and neighbour outreach to reach our capital goal of $1.65 million by December 31, 2015 . This figure includes all interior and exterior finishings and furnishing of the building. A volunteer capital campaign committee of professionals from our community, has been established to manage the project from concept to completion and will be meeting regularly to ensure the project stays on track.

LET’S GET STARTEDAt many points in CKE’s history, we have banded together as a community and risen to challenges. We know where we need to go with this project, and we have the plan to do it. We have thought carefully about how to move ahead. Now, we need you.Please join us by donating to the new CKE community hall. Learn more and find out how you can get involved by getting in touch with us. For more information, check out our website, send us an email or get in touch with

Flu Season Guide Pharmacists say being Proactive and Prepared is the key to Flu SeasonTaking simple, yet highly effective, steps to preventing influenza (flu) can prevent a trip to a busy hospital emergency room during the upcoming flu season. Influ-enza can be very serious for those who have health vulnerabilities such as senior citizens, pregnant women, or people with chronic health conditions. Influenza causes about 20,000 people to get admit-ted to the hospital and about 4,000 deaths in Canada each year. Health agencies across Western Canada are working to ensure Canadians are pre-pared to combat the seasonal flu, which can help free up emergency room space for emergency situations.“Being proactive and prepared is the key to surviving the flu season,” says Chris Chiew, Pharmacy Operations Manager for London Drugs. “By getting the influ-enza vaccination early in the season, as well as taking some simple and healthy preventative actions, you not only protect yourself, but you protect others because you are less likely to spread the flu.”Knowing the difference between a com-mon cold and the flu is as important as be-ing proactive and getting the flu shot early. FLU SEASON SURVIVAL TIPS

Be Proactive 1. Get your flu shot early. Call or visit

your local London Drugs pharmacy to book your influenza vaccination appointment. Ask if you qualify for a free flu vaccination or other recom-mended vaccine. If not, a fee may apply.

2. Wash your hands frequently. Use soap and warm water for at least 15

seconds. If water and soap are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and ensure you rub your hands until the product is dry.

3. Cough or sneeze into a tissue or into your sleeve. Dispose of the tis-sue right away and wash your hands afterwards using the tips above.

4. Avoid rubbing your nose and eyes. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth to keep germs from entering your body.

5. Don’t share. Avoid sharing food, utensils, water bottles and other things that could pass bacteria and viruses.

6. Take a regular daily dose of vi-tamin C. Vitamin C intake can help decrease the duration and severity of a cold or flu if you get one.

7. Rest well. If you or a family mem-ber is sick, stay home from school or work and avoid contact with others.

Be Prepared 1. Know the signs of influenza. Influ-enza is a highly contagious viral infection. Transmitted by airborne droplets and can survive up to 48 hours outside the body; it can take a few days to a week for symp-toms to appear. Some examples include:

• A sudden, high fever (38 to 40 degrees C)

• Headache, extreme fatigue, chills and sweating

• Dry cough

• Loss of appetite

• Muscle aches and pains

• Runny and stuffy nose, sneezing and sore throat

It can lead to complications such as pneu-monia, respiratory failure, or worsening of a current chronic medical condition.2. Have a flu season survival kit on hand. There is nothing worse when you’re sick than having to leave your house to find relief. Make sure you have the following on hand for easy self-care:• Over the counter cold and flu medi-

cations (ask your local London Drugs pharmacist what is recommended for you or your family)

• Soup, soda crackers, ginger ale or beverages with electrolytes for re-hydration

• Kleenex• Disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer • Nasal spray• Herbal tea• Thermometer

Your Official NewsletterCommunity Traffic ReportTips for making sure drivers and vehicles

are prepared for winter weatherAs colder weather nears, we’d like to provide a few simple tips that can be shared with drivers to ensure that they and their vehicles are prepared for wintry driving conditions.

Drivers in areas that see consistent snowfall, harsh tempera-tures or other inclement weather conditions are encouraged to proactively ensure that their vehicles are in good working order and ready to handle the weather. If tires are properly inflated, fluid levels are full, front and rear lights are operating, and belts and hoses are in good condition, the risk of vehicle breakdowns or accidents is greatly reduced. Because many cold-weather breakdowns are caused by a weak or dead battery, it is also important to ensure that the battery is in good working order.

As noted in the October 6 article of FleetWeek, it is recom-mend that drivers who will be using snow tires have the tires installed in early-to-mid November, or shortly before the typical first snowfall for their region.

Additional measures that can help minimize risk and increase driver/passenger safety are as follows:1. Clear all snow, ice and frost from windows, the roof, the

hood, the trunk, mirrors, lights and signals before driving. 2. Turn on headlights in the late afternoon before the sun

begins to set, and always use low-beam headlights in fog, rain or snow, no matter what time of day.

3. When driving on slippery road surfaces, be sure to signal your intention to turn well before turning. In addition, observe all speed limits and reduce speed whenever road conditions or visibility are compromised by inclement weather. Avoid sudden starts and stops when possible, and be familiar with your vehicle’s braking capacities. Longer stop times should always be anticipated on roads with compromised integrity due to ice, snow or water.

4. Beware of sudden dangers on the road such as icy bridges, snow-covered lane markings, or stalled vehicles.

5. Keep handy a winter driving kit that includes a fully charged mobile phone, flashlight with fresh batteries, small snow shovel and brush, traction mats, ice scraper, booster cables, blanket, flares or triangle warning devices, heavy gloves, window washing solvent, and a first aid kit.

It is important that drivers make themselves aware of weather and road conditions along their route before beginning their trip. The best way to ensure safety is to avoid driving in foul weather or dangerous road conditions altogether when possible.

Emergency vehicles

Emergency vehicles include fire, police, ambulance, designated emergency response units and tow trucks. Flashing lights from emergency vehicles warn drivers to reduce speeds, carefully change lanes and / or prepare to stop.

When an emergency vehicle with flashing lights is travelling on the road:

• Pull over in a safe manner so emergency vehicles can pass quickly and safely.

• Use proper signals so all drivers are aware of your intentions.

• Slow down to 60 km/h or the posted speed, whichever is lower, when passing a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights flashing. This applies to the lane directly next to the stopped vehicle.

• Do not follow an emergency vehicle through a signalized intersection when the light is red.

• Do not follow an emergency vehicle too closely. These vehicles often have large blind spots. Use a minimum four second following distance.

To learn more about safety tips for responsible driving, please visit the Government of Alberta Transportation or the Alberta Motor Association.

Your Official NewsletterCommunity CornerGuides in Our Community

We are fortunate to have a terrific group of young women as Guides in 2014/15 … who enthusiastically participate in a variety of activities: from

exploring nature, including finding water bugs in the Heritage Park Wetlands; to learning new skills, with October focused on some business basics with selling cookies to visiting a small new business owned and operated by a former Guide, Floss Dental Hygiene; to physical activities with hikes and International Folk Dancing; and service.

All our programs are funded by cookie sales. Thank You CKE community for your support as our Guides sold mint cookies door to door. Examples of other outings and evenings we have this fall are …challenging our First Aid badge, seeing Charlotte’s Web at ATP (including meeting with the Set Designer), sleeping under the dinosaurs at Tyrrell and participating in the museum’s hands on programs, working with leather thanks to Tandy Leather, and creating tray favours for Meals on Wheels.

As part of our service, we met with a Community leader, and were very fortunate to have an evening with Brian Pincott in June. Many of our Guides, and leaders too, described Our Conversation with Brian Pincott as one of the highlights of our Guiding year. We discussed what Guides learned from Brian in September. Here are some of the Guide’s quotes (in’ ‘) and learnings.

‘He does so many things to help people in the community’

‘ I learned that being in government is harder than I thought’

‘ He was very engaging. He talked about ’boringish’ stuff, but made it not boring’

‘ He’s not even scary! I thought he’d be scary, but he’s the friendliest person to ever come’

Brian created a warm exchange with the Guides, as he sat with them (on the gym floor) and answered Guide’s questions on Calgary, why he is a Councillor, to our role as community members. When asked ’What is the 1 change you would like to make to improve Calgary?’, Brian used the concrete brick wall to show how square corners at intersections would increase the turning radius for cars and slow them down, making Calgary safer for citizens. A Guide who had recently ran and won as

class rep for school council asked, ‘Do you make promises when you campaign?’. Brian smiled and said No, instead he commits to consider all decisions through his values. The Guide excitedly replied, ‘that’s what I did too’. Brian’s journey to become Councillor made a significant impression with the Guide’s as a career life lesson on the importance of being passionate about what you do each day. Brian shared about being a Boy Scout, then a young leader with Scouts in High School, always caring about the environment, and then making career changes from pre-Med, to theatre, to now serving his community. Brian’s final thought about our role in our community also stayed with the Guides, ‘how a big an impact you can have from a small thing, like helping a neighbour’.

Thank you Brian!!Anne Bennett 403 255 3883

Initially proclaimed in 1925 by the World Conference for the Well-being of Children, a universal day to honour the children of the world has gone through several incarnations over the decades before becoming internationally recognized in 1954. Observed on November 20, International Child’s Day marks the day on which the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, in 1959, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in 1989.

In Canada, National Child’s Day was written in parliamentary law in 1993, to help promote awareness about the 1989 convention which spells out the basic human rights to which children under the age of 18 are entitled.

This November 20th, the Calgary Public Library (CPL) is celebrating children and encouraging play and literacy by holding a Colossal Play Date at CPL locations throughout the city. Children aged three and older are encouraged to bring an

adult and drop in to various library locations from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

If you and your child (or grandchild) aren’t able to participate in the CPL events, take the opportunity to celebrate your child and to help them embrace the love of learning by reading to your youngster every day, but especially on November 20th.

Reading aloud to children is the single most important thing parents and

caregivers can do to help children develop language and early-

literacy skills -and to build a life-long love of reading!

Make it playful, make it fun, make it count.

Gluten-free diets have become a popular trend, but is there truth behind the hype? It depends who you ask, and what reasons the person has for considering such a tricky diet (gluten is everywhere!) I do not advocate gluten-free as a healthy alternative universally. Some patients can get so overwhelmed by the diet that stress is higher, or they choose “gluten-free” options at the store, that are actually devoid of any nutrition. I find there are a spectrum of gluten “issues” for people:

True Gluten allergyPatients with a true gluten allergy are diagnosed with Celiacs disease and can never eat gluten. This is getting checked more often by family and naturopathic doctors, as we understand that it has been underdiagnosed and may not actually show up with digestive symptoms. Infertility, irritability, and anemia may indicate the need for Celiac screening. To be diagnosed, a blood test and biopsy should be performed and the patient may be eligible for tax breaks with their grocery bills.

Gluten sensitivityThere are a certain amount of people that launch a different type of allergy, an IgG-mediated reaction to gluten-containing foods, such as spelt, wheat, barley, and rye. These antibody tests are typically run by naturopathic doctors and require a few drops of blood. Sensitivities, or intolerances, do not usually create medically urgent symptoms, but make patients feel lethargic, bloated, and generally unwell. Skin conditions, migraines, and musculoskeletal symptoms are among a long list of problems that seem to be worsened by gluten sensitivity.

Gluten is made hardyGluten is genetically modified to be hard against pests. Hard against drought. Hard, then, to digest for us as humans, is not hard to imagine. This puts it in the category of other “hard-to-digest” foods, such as red meat and corn. Additionally, some recent studies are suggesting people may not be reacting to gluten, but to the chemical residues

the grains are treated with.

Is gluten-free right for me?This is the question for your health-care provider. As a naturopathic doctor, I find many patients will feel better cutting out gluten, if only because they generally are forced to eat more healthily overall. Simple testing by your medical or naturopathic doctor can clarify the issue for you, especially since this can be a difficult diet to attempt. It is not a cure-all miracle diet, especially when sugar-filled “gluten-free” treats fill the void.

- Dr. Gayle Maguire, BSc, ND

Gluten-free diets - faCt or fad?

you can help by bringing your Mo Bros and Mo Sistas together and focus on bringing men’s health to the forefront of conversations. One easy way to break the ice is to bring a group of friends together for discussions over a pint of Rickard’s beer.

REMEMBRANCE DAy CRAFT

KidsCorner

Please have a parent present.

1. Gather your materials. You will need an egg carton, scissors, red and black paint (you can use acrylic because it dries faster – but they are not washable so choose wisely!), a paper plate, a sentence strip or other card stock, a stapler, a marker, some paint brushes, ribbon for hanging and lots of white glue.

2. You (with the help of a parent) can start cutting your egg carton into flowers. This is harder than it looks and may take a few steps. First, you need to cut the cups off the carton, then make four cuts and trim the edges to make it more poppy like.

3. GAThER yOuR TROOps TO pAINT! Red first, then black. A few of the flowers didn’t get painted in that order, but that’s OK.

4. While one child does some painting, another can write out “REMEMBER” on a sentence strip. Have extras on hand if you are using a permanent marker...just in case you make a spelling mistake.

5. Cut the middle of the paper plate out, staple the sentence strip on, and trim the edges.

6. Let the poppies dry at least part way before adding glue to the paper plate and gluing them on. This takes teamwork!

7. LET DRy AND hANG up!

Hello Calgary- Glenmore – As I write this article in late September, we are continuing to clean-up and recover from the snowfall that damaged so many trees on our properties and in our parks. Thank you to the community members and neighbours who gave their time and resources to help move branches. I enjoyed watching the communities of Calgary-Glenmore work together. Also thank you to everyone who attended my Town Hall in last month in Lakeview. I hold at least two meetings each year in order to hear your priorities before I go back into session.

This fall there have been many announcements and changes. In his swearing-in speech, Premier Jim Prentice made several observations which struck home with me. I was pleased to hear him say, “Albertans want less talk and more action on their priorities, including improvements to education and health care. Our province is rich in possibility and potential. It is our privilege and our responsibility to define what comes next.”

As your MLA, I will continue to advance your concerns directly to government ministers, colleagues and community organizations. I am consistent in presenting your priorities at Cabinet and policy committees of the government caucus and in the Legislature.

Enjoy this fall season and safe travels. As always, I am just a phone call away.

On November 4, the next four-year strategic plan & budget will be released for public review. As part of The City’s regular cycle of

municipal elections and business planning, Action Plan is how we connect our City’s day-to-day operations with its long-term goals, as well as balance providing great services with affordable tax rates for all Calgarians.

The Action Plan process launched last March with a broad-reaching citizen engagement campaign. Informed by engagement results, as well as other inputs like major economic and demographic trends, City finances and legislative obligations, Council drafted and approved its Priorities for 2015 - 2018 in May.

Over the summer, City staff created plans and budgets in response to Council’s Priorities within spending limits identified by Council. The result, Action Plan 2015 - 2018, identifies how The City will deliver 44 of Council’s strategic actions over four years, representing over $20 billion of capital infrastructure investment and service delivery. This includes the nearly 100 different kinds of front-line services already provided that support citizens in their daily lives.

Visit calgary.ca/actionplan to see the full plan on November 4, as well as City performance measures, benchmarking, citizen engagement, budgets and detailed Council Priorities. After Action Plan is released, Council will consider the plan for approval during two weeks of deliberations from November 24 to December 5, 2014.

From November 4 onward, you can comment on the proposed plan on calgary.ca, by filling out a comment card at your local public library, or by contacting 311. As well, you are invited to sign-up before November 19 to speak during Council deliberations or submit a presentation in advance for consideration by November 13. All feedback will be shared with Council.

As always, I encourage constituents of Ward 11 to contact me with any questions or concerns. I email out information regarding upcoming events, City programs and opportunities to provide input into the City’s public engagement programs relevant to Ward 11 residents. Due to the new anti-spam laws you need to specifically request our email updates; you can sign up at anytime by emailing my office at [email protected].

I also encourage you to visit: www.ward11calgary.ca, for additional information that may be of interest to you.

On remembrance day members of the armed forces (soldiers) are commemorated. The other common name for this day is Armistice Day which marks the date and time when armies in general stop fighting. November 11th at 11am in 1918 (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month) marks the end of the first world war in the UK - this date and time was made into Remembrence Day in commonwealth countries.

The poppy's significance to Remembrance Day is a result of Canadian military physician John McCrae's poem In Flanders Fields. The poppy emblem was chosen because of the poppies that bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their red colour an appropriate symbol for the bloodshed of trench warfare. A Frenchwoman, Anna E. Guérin, introduced the widely used artificial poppies given out today. Some people choose to wear white poppies, which emphasises a desire for peaceful alternatives to military action.

“In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.”

~ John McCrae

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our

gratitude. ~ Cynthia Ozick

Fiber Force it now or fix it later. Three times stronger than standard dentures. Call our office and ask about Fibre Force, the new way to strengthen your dentures.

www.premiumdenturecare.caNEW PATIENTS WELCOME!

Q: What is ?

A: is an ultra-think, lightweight fiber mesh that is custom made and then bonded as a layer in the middle of an upper or lower denture. This process is used with a specially-treated E-glass fiber that impregnated with a resin that chemically bonds to the acrylic resin used to make dentures. is virtually invisible and adds NO weight or thickness to the denture. A denture is more than 300% stronger than a traditional acrylic denture.

Q: When do you most need a denture?

A: is strongly recommended when:

a) if your dentures fit well and you’re still breaking them.

b) if you tend to bite hard.

c) if you have an upper denture and still have your natural teeth in the lower jaw.

Q: How expensive is dentures?

A: only adds a small percentage to the overall cost to your den-tures. It is well worth the investment to increase comfort and strength to your dentures.

Q: Why do dentures break?

A: Dentures break because the acrylic resin used to make them is fragile. They can easily fracture due to shock if dropped.

Denture base resin is exposed to various stresses. Polumethyl methacrylate denture resins are fragile and as a result, many dental professionals must deal with the ongoing and frequent problem of denture repairs.

Studies have confirmed that dentures that are repaired using current methods do not regain the strength of the original denture. One study has confirmed that dentures repaired with fiber rein forcements are 58% stronger than the original dentures and 166% stonger than dentures repaired with acrylic alone.
