IE9 problem

Have built a custom front page for a website. http://www.ftreliancenwt.ca

Everything is great except the H1 on the widget in the primary sidebar of Theme 2014. The H1 and the top item in recent postings crash together but only on my custom page and only in IE9. Works fine in all other pages and other two browsers. When I go into developer tools – layout – and add 20px to top padding, it appears to be the fix. However, cannot replicate in either Developer tool Styles or Trace Styles and have added

#primary-sidebar .primary-sidebar widget-area {

padding-top: 40px;

}

to Custom CSS and Child Theme CSS but cannot even manipulate to see any effect. Suspect being overrided by other code with greater weight in hierarchy but not sure what to do next. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
