Editor’s Message
What are some Willowridge neighbourhood “secret” gems that you’d like to share?
Sometimes I wonder if I should share my hidden gems as they might get so popular that they won’t be
secrets anymore! However, in the spirit of being neighbourly, I’ll share a few of mine.
In May and June there have been a number of art shows in and near our community. They are a great
way to spend an hour on a Saturday afternoon, rain or shine. Recently, my family browsed through the
impressive exhibits, enjoying the local and foreign scenes. My 4 year-old son Matthew was excited to recognise some barns that we
see enroute to the Millarville Farmer’s Market while my 2-year old daughter Sarah was more interested in the complimentary grapes
and cookies! My husband and I enjoyed chatting with local artists surrounded by a vibrant and friendly group of neighbours.
Another neighbourhood “secret” is the Fish Creek Library children’s area. If you haven’t been in the library since its renovation,
check out the second floor. There is a large, bright indoor playground with giant building blocks, a puppet theatre, games and activities
to promote fun and literacy. Nice touches for exhausted parents are the comfortable chairs and freshly-brewed Phil & Sebastian
coffee.
A “secret” sport that’s getting very popular is Pickleball! I had never heard about this sport until a year ago and I have since heard
(anecdotally) it’s the fasted growing sport in North America. To join in the fun, the WRCA has invited the Calgary Pickleball Club to
host four free “Learn-to-Play” Pickleball clinics in July. Please see page 5 for details and let’s not keep this sport secret!
I’d love to hear about your neighbourhood “secret” gems, whether they are people, places or experiences.
Cheers,
Colleen Gnyp, Communications Director, WillowRidge Community Association

Vice President’s Message
I was selfish when I first joined the WillowRidge Community Association
(WRCA) board of directors. It seems like a lifetime ago… my kids were 2 and 4, I
was staying at home with them and my husband was travelling a lot for work. I needed
something to keep me engaged and I craved adult contact. That was when I joined
the board of directors for the first time where I served over the next 6 years as Hall
Director, Membership Director and Vice President. I enjoyed being a fly on the wall, learning about what was going on in
our community, debating the issues and having a say keeping in mind what is best for the community members present and
future.
As time went on, I re-entered the work force, was volunteering at school, for our kids soccer programs and I walked hand
in hand with my mother-in-law on her journey to the other side. I had to give something up, so it was the WRCA board of
directors.
Now my kids manage quite well without me so I rejoined the board at the 2014 Annual General Meeting (AGM). I was
propelled to rejoin after reading the Newsletter and noticing the lack of volunteers. Prior to the AGM I had sat in on some
monthly board meetings where it was readily apparent how very few people were doing so much work for the members
of our community. I decided that it was high time that I get involved again to help lighten the load of some very dedicated,
weary people. The old adage is very true that many hands make light work as is the statement that if you need something
done ask a busy person.
Getting involved in our community has been very rewarding for me be it for the WRCA board, soccer clubs, our street
or school community. The street we live on has had several block parties over the years which have benefited me and my
family as our village has watched over the people in our area and my children as they have grown up. At one of the block
parties I received a poster ‘How to Build Community’ that came from Ten Thousand Villages which has a host of excellent
suggestions to build community and a few that most convinced me to return to the board are:
•
Leave your house
•
Know your neighbours
•
Look up when you’re walking
•
Greet people
•
Garden together
•
Share your skills
Volunteers are always needed to run our community and events. Consider putting your name forward to help out on an
as needed basis as there is a great need for help in many different capacities. The one position on the board of directors
that remains vacant that would benefit greatly by being filled is Secretary. Our board meets once per month, 10 months
of the year on the third Wednesday of the month. The meetings generally take 2 hours with interesting updates from our
Community Resource Officer with the Calgary Police Service; our Councillor for the City of Calgary; our MLA for the
Province of Alberta; and our Community Partnerships Liaison with the City of Calgary Parks and Recreation.
I am thrilled to be sitting around the table with some great people with a variety of experience, talent and a ton of heart.
Christine Schreuder,
Vice-President, WillowRidge Community Association

Teamwork Builds New Community Playground
“Many hands make light work.” (John Heywood)
It’s astonishing what a group of people can achieve in a few short days. A noble force of community
and parent volunteers working alongside some trained professionals managed to construct this
fantastic playground in three short days.
Lone Tuff, the principal at Maple Ridge Elementary School, explains that the project’s success came as result of a lot of work
behind the scenes.
The school council and parents were tireless fundraisers. Gloria Laurendeau, the Playground Coordinator took on the
challenge of seeking grants, fundraising and organizing the build. The Willow Ridge Community Association made a
substantial financial contribution. Even a local business, Fast Lane Pizza, got on board, supplying a hot lunch to hungry
workers every day of the build.
Mrs. Tuff also gave a shout out to Park ‘N Play who supplied the playground equipment (and ensure it is properly
assembled), Phoenix Landscaping, the CBC Do-Crew, and ConocoPhilips.
Well done, everyone. Have fun kids!

Want More Passion? What To Do When Your Spouse Feels Like A
Roommate - Discover the First Step You Must Take to Restore The Passion
“Q. Hi Lisa, my husband and I have somehow slipped into the ‘friend zone.’ It’s easy for us to
discuss practical stuff like our vacations but there’s no spark left. I find myself wondering if still
in love with him, how a relationship changes with marriage, where the passion has gone, etc.
Where do I go from here?”
A. This is one of the most common and completely MISUNDERSTOOD problems in relationships today.
And because it’s so misunderstood, virtually every person I’ve known who wants more passion makes
the same mistake. He alternates between…
a) pressuring his spouse for lovemaking, and
b) backing off and sulking about it.
When he pressures, he either:
1. Grumbles about the lack of lovemaking
2. Lays a guilt trip, or
3. Starts an argument about it (including threatening to leave)
When he’s not pressuring, he backs off and sulks. Sometimes he pretends he doesn’t care about sex. He takes a “You can’t fire me, I quit” stance.
Deep down he feels ENTITLED to lovemaking and is secretly blames his spouse for the lack of passion.
The problem with this method is that it doesn’t work.
Oh, your spouse or lover will probably throw you a bone from time to time. But there won’t be much REAL passion in these “sessions.” They’ll
tend to be perfunctory.
Pressuring your partner for sex doesn’t work because you’re missing the key point. The key point is that you don’t know WHY your partner has
cooled off.
(And no, it’s not because you’ve been married a long time…share the same bathroom…are overworked…or put on a few pounds).
And because you don’t know WHY, you’re suffering. Secretly you’re scared your partner has stopped loving you.
Ouch. This is a very painful place to be. Not only do you feel rejected, you’re totally confused as well.
That’s why the first step to take is always to uncover the WHY (and not necessarily by pressing him or her to answer this question).
To successfully uncover the WHY, the first thing you do is realize that you don’t need to get so bent out of shape by the sexual rejection that you
cannot step back and be a little objective about the issue.
Chances are that whatever “complaints” your spouse has that are causing her to shut down, she’s mentioned them in the past.
You probably just never linked them to your sexual stalemate.
Example: once I worked with a delightful man who was genuinely puzzled about his wife’s lack of sexual interest in him. They loved each other
dearly and had precious children together.
Under further questioning he confessed that she had left him once, years ago. Seems this man has a bit of a temper and is prone to yelling when he’s
upset.
When she left him, she made it clear that she could not abide the yelling…so he stopped. In recent years, though, the yelling had slowly crept back in.
Lo and behold, his yelling was precisely why she was not responding to him sexually.
Sometimes we just cannot see “the forest for the trees.”
We see a detail, but we’re so emotional in relationships we cannot step back and see how it relates to the big picture.
That’s why I believe we owe it to ourselves to learn as much as possible about relationship mastery – including how to stop feeling sorry for ourselves long enough to get what we need from the people we love.

MLA Calgary Acadia
Brandy Payne
Phone: 403-640-1363
Email: Calgary.Acadia@assembly.ab.ca
Thank you for putting your
trust in me to represent you in
the Alberta Legislature. It is a
huge honour and I am humbled by the
opportunity to serve you.
After the excitement of the election night, I woke up the
next morning with a long to-do list. First there were a lot of
people to thank, and campaign to wind-down, but my main
focus has been is preparing for my new role as your MLA.
On June 1, I travelled to Edmonton to be officially sworn-in
as Member of the Legislative Assembly. You may have seen
the swearing-in of Premier Notley and the new cabinet on
television. Standing with my colleagues on the steps of the
legislature, looking out at the thousands of Albertans who
had come out to see history being made, was a moment I
will always remember. It was a powerful demonstration of
the trust Albertans have placed in our new government, and
I want you to know that as your MLA I will be working hard
every day to earn that trust.
My priority has been getting my constituency office set up and
running as quickly as possible. As an MLA, my constituents
come first. I want to make sure my office is open and
accessible to you, and that I have well-trained staff that can
assist you whenever I’m out of the office. In the meantime,
please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail at Calgary.
Acadia@assembly.ab.ca or by phone at 403-640-1363. I will
reply as soon as I am able. I hope you will bear with me as I
work to get everything in place.
Shortly after the election, the Premier announced that the
legislature would convene in June to tackle some of the
pressing challenges facing our province. I was elected with a
clear mandate focused on job creation, cleaning up politics
and government, stabilizing our health and education systems
and making our tax system a little more fair. In the legislature,
I will work hard to follow-through on those commitments.
As your MLA, I represent all residents of Calgary-Acadia.
Whether you voted for me or someone else, know that my
Pg. 28 Summer 2015 door is open to you. If you are thrilled – or concerned - by
the steps our government is taking, I want to hear it. You
can count on me to listen and bring your perspectives to the
government and the legislature. Likewise, if you are having
some difficulty dealing with the provincial government, please
contact me – you can count on me to assist you to the best of
my ability.
In closing let me say once again what an honour it is to serve
as your MLA. You have placed great trust in me, and I will be
working hard every day to earn that trust.

Howdy Ward 14!
Every year I try to wrangle up
some money for a good cause and
celebration. The cause is our hard
working community associations, and the celebration is the Ward
14 Communities BBQ. You can get a tasty burger there, and
you’ll see all sorts of displays from the BBQ’s generous sponsors.
There will be a whole raft of City of Calgary information as well.
My Ward 14 Communities BBQ is on Saturday, September 26
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m in the Southcentre Mall parking lot, but if
you don’t think you will remember then keep these three things
in mind. First, I will write about it in my next two newsletter
columns. Second, you can find the information on my website at
www.calgary.ca/ward14bbq. Third, I will send you updates via
email if you sign up at www.calgary.ca/ward14connect.
Another season of Aldertalk is now over. I want to sincerely
thank everyone who turned up at one of the six sessions, and to
all of the venues where we congregated. Every time I hold an
Aldertalk it seems there are just a few more people than the last.
Aldertalk is probably the most important tool that I have at my
disposal. The input that I receive there is invaluable. While I
can rightly claim to be the originator of the Aldertalk idea, I must
admit that City administration is catching on with Citizen’s View.
Citizen’s View is an online panel that encourages citizens to
“Oh, the
summer night,
Has a smile
of light, And
she sits on
a sapphire
throne.”
Bryan Procter
participate in shaping City of Calgary programs and services.
You can participate in surveys, have access to online discussions,
provide your input on a variety of topics, and receive information
and updates on upcoming events and service improvements. To
sign up you just need to visit www.citizensiew.ca. I encourage
you to do so.
Did you know? The City operates and maintains over 200
storm ponds.
You should also know that they are a vital part of Calgary’s storm
water system. Storm ponds (or more specifically, wet ponds)
collect water and run-off from the storm water system. They
trap things like oil, chemicals, fertilizer, pesticides, and sediments.
Besides helping to mitigate local flooding, storm ponds improve
the quality of water that eventually reaches our rivers.
With all of the nasty things that they keep out of our rivers, storm
ponds are not surprisingly a bad place to swim. Storm ponds
are not intended for recreational use. Their water levels are
constantly fluctuating and they can contain pollutants. Swimming,
skating, boating, fishing, and fish stocking are just some of the
activities that are strictly prohibited in storm ponds.
Happy trails to you, and don’t hesitate to contact me for any
reason.
