Near my optometry clinic in the southeast community of Cranston, a parent’s nightmare came true on March 17. An eight-year-old boy was walking home with his sister from his piano lesson when he was hit by a truck while crossing the street. The boy was critically injured and was lifted by Stars Air Ambulance to Alberta Children’s Hospital where he faces many health challenges. To follow his recovery, see www.facebook.com/ EthanNielsonsRecovery (shared with parental permission). Another nightmare would be driving the car that hit a child. In reports of this particular case, the woman was driving sensibly, saw the boy at the last second as he walked out in front of a truck, tried to brake and remained in shock at the scene of the horrible accident. Like the injured boy’s family, the driver’s life has also been forever changed. Unfortunately, this accident could have happened to any driver. In Willowridge, as summer approaches we will see more walkers, runners, cyclists, scooters and rollerbladers on our streets and sidewalks. Both drivers and “pedestrians” need to take responsibility for safety to avoid tragic accidents like the above story. As drivers, we need to slow down (especially in playground zones), pay attention (put your phone out of reach), and avoid doing something stupid (like driving impaired). Don’t take a chance on fines, demerit points or accidents. It’s just not worth the risk! As pedestrians and parents teaching our children, we need to cross at marked crosswalks (or a corner well away from parked cars), to make eye contact with stopped drivers before stepping onto the street, and to take a look up from our devices and take our headphones out (especially teenagers). Let’s enjoy our Willowridge streets safely this summer!

Tennis/Pickleball membership can be purchased at the office for $40+GST for 2016. Outdoor Facility Improvements Rink Resurfacing and Pickleball Lines In 2015, our community was the successful recipient of two grants that will be used to improve our outdoor facilities: • • $30,791 awarded in June 2015 from the City of Calgary Capital Conservation Grant and $16,469 in Fall 2015 from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program (federal program). These grants will allow us to enhance the existing recreational opportunities in our community by resurfacing our outdoor rink and also allow us to introduce a new recreational opportunity to the community, pickleball. The outdoor rink will be repaired by resurfacing the asphalt playing surface to improve the usability of the rink. The rink surface has become cracked, broken and Pg. 10 May 2016 uneven after enduring years of all-season use and Calgary weather. Resurfacing the rink will allow us to vastly improve this amenity and allow the community to continue using the rink for skating, hockey, lacrosse, basketball, street hockey, skateboarding, etc. for many years to come. As part of our mandate to provide a complete community for our residents, the Willow Ridge Community Association has been exploring the idea of adding pickelball lines to our existing outdoor tennis courts. Pickleball is a fast growing racquet sport in North America enjoyed by a wide variety of players from children to seniors. Pickleball is typically played on a tennis court painted with additional lines. A portable net is used to divide the playing surface. Pickleball players use large paddles to hit a wiffle ball back and forth across the net, similar to tennis. The smaller playing surface, solid paddles and lighter ball, make pickleball a fantastic game for a large range of skill levels and abilities. Residents of Willow Ridge approached the board of directors requesting the addition of pickleball lines to the existing tennis courts. The incredibly successful clinics held in 2015 in conjunction with the Calgary Pickleball Club further demonstrated that pickleball would be a great addition to the activities available in Willow Ridge. We hope the addition of the pickleball-specific lines will encourage more people in our community to get out and play. The rink resurfacing and pickleball line additions are scheduled to be completed in spring 2016. ~ Carly Silver, Funding Director Thank you for supporting your community association and your local businesses! --- Volunteer Opportunities in WillowRidge --Opportunity Skills/Experience Commitment Information/Contact Board Members Enthusiasm to make our community great is the only requirement!

C reative Interiors was launched in 1984 as a result of the vision and entrepreneurial spirit of the Cook family. The first location was on the second floor of the Lewis Stationary building on 11th Ave SW. Creative Interiors has evolved beyond their expectations into what it is today, 3 generations working together. Their dream has been far surpassed now with the 4th generation coming by the shop for a visit or to make a few dollars dusting the showroom. The Cook’s passion for their business shines through with the exceptional customer service and personal attention one receives. You can’t leave without feeling that you are a part of the family. Creative Interiors has always taken great pride in their quality workmanship and excellent customer service. “It’s why we are still around.” Roy says, “It’s what keeps our customers coming back and why they want to tell their friends about us – word of mouth Pg. 13 May 2016 is our greatest advertising, and we are proud of that.” Roy and Shirley have passed on that attention to detail to their daughters, Janet and Tammy, as well as their Granddaughter, Sara. Clients happily refer their friends. Creative Interiors provides a worry free, pleasant shopping experience. Creative Interiors showroom is located on Macleod Trail, just south of Anderson Road in Avenida Place. The showroom is home to an extensive fabric library including samples for drapery, bedding and upholstery. Creative Interiors is proud to be a Hunter Douglas Gallery. The hands on displays found in the showroom highlight each product as if it were on a real window. This allows you to imagine how the product will change the way the light comes through your window and transform your home. Creative Interiors offers a free in-home design consultation to discuss your design needs and seek to find the best l solution for your specific space. The staff is committed to keeping up on the most current trends. “My goal when working with clients is to bring out their individual style but at the same time bring them up to date on current trends,” says Tammy. “I want them to love their home and be excited to show their friends!” With their years of experience in the industry, Creative Interiors has been able to build solid relationships with the fabric suppliers, and the workrooms that make the draperies, to give their clients a superior product. Their understanding of upholstery and furniture can transform that family heirloom into a piece that fits with your current style. Working with their clients from the start of the process…right through to the finish, Creative Interiors will help you create an affordable, comfortable and stylish home that is distinctly your own.

Some parts of that system are at work year round to provide comfortable and efficient heating and cooling. Heating Most homes are heated (and cooled) with a forced-air system, usually with a combustion furnace. A powerful fan Pg. 17 May 2016 draws air into the furnace where burner flames heat the air before the fan blows the warm air into ducts that circulate it throughout the house. The warm air emerges from heating registers in rooms. At the same time, air is drawn into return registers placed strategically throughout the house, and funneled through ductwork back to the furnace where it’s reheated. the furnace blower should be kept in good working condition with regular maintenance. Whether you’re using a furnace or A/C, the air filter needs to be inspected regularly and replaced when it gets clogged with dust. Ductwork usually works year round, carrying either cool or warm air. As a result, proper duct maintenance and sealing is essential for both heating and cooling. Cooling Our goal is to help educate In homes with furnace systems, the our customers in Calgary, A/C’s inside unit, the evaporator, is Alberta about energy and typically connected to the furnace home comfort issues near the duct connection.

Calgary, AB T2Z 1N4 www.duesouthah.com Help thrive Every planting season, gardeners across Canada head outdoors with a selection of flowers that will bring life to their yards. These flowers aren't just a beautiful statement that bring a touch of colour, they can also provide local honey bees with the food they need to support their hive of almost 60,000 with nectar and pollen. We can help feed honey bees and other pollinators with the gardens we plant every year. Whether this is on your balcony, a rooftop or in your backyard, even a small patch of flowers can help local hives. It can be as simple as: • Mixing up the flowers you grow with varieties that are attractive to honey bees; and • Planting a mix of seeds that will bloom throughout the season to help ensure a plentiful nutritious food source for honey bees. When we see honey bees travelling from flower-toflower, we're actually watching a gatherer find and collect nutritious food. Instead of eating it, they bring much of it back to their hives. As a result, pollen gets transported between different plants, and for many of those plants this process is necessary for reproduction. All of this activity is part of an important relationship between humans, honey bees and flowers. Without honey bees, many of our plants won't be able to reproduce, including some of the fruits and vegetables we eat. In order to keep honey bees healthy, we need to plant flowers that have nutritious nectar and pollen. In a way, that means we provide each other with food, and it's a trade we should be happy to make! There are hundreds of choices for pollinator-friendly flowers to choose from, which might seem daunting. Programs like Buzzing Gardens can help by providing free seeds in a mixture specifically geared towards honey bees. You can get your own packet to grow a Buzzing Garden at www.beesmatter.ca. ~ www.newscanada.com Pg. 19 May 2016 l The OFFICIAL community newsletter for Willow Park & Maple Ridge Willow Ridge Community Association Willow Ridge memberships can be completed and either mailed or dropped off to: Willow Ridge Community Association, 680 Acadia Drive S.E.

We are committed to making sure the WCB system provides fair compensation and meaningful rehabilitation and that the system is sustainable and affordable.

Our office is collecting for the Calgary Food Bank and I was fortunate to receive a tour of their facilities. Established in 1982, the Calgary Food Bank is a charitable, non-profit organization dedicated to gathering and distributing quality emergency food to those in need. The Food Bank was founded by religious leaders in the community who were all collecting food and giving it to those in need. They decided to join forces to make the most impact within their community. The majority of people they assist are working-poor Calgarians struggling to make ends meet. The Calgary Food Bank is not a government or United Way agency. They rely solely on the generous support of our community. Over 40% of their clients Pg. 27 May 2016 l The OFFICIAL community newsletter for Willow Park & Maple Ridge wrca ward 14 update Ward 14 Councillor - Peter Demong Phone: 403-268-1653 Email: eaward14@calgary.ca Greetings Ward 14! Normally in May we would just be starting to venture out into the outdoors after our winter hibernation, but this year it feels like we have had several months of spring already. Spring yard waste drop-off at City Landfills There has also already been a month for you to bring your spring yard waste to City landfills free of charge. Why mention it now? Because you still have almost another full month left. All City landfills will be accepting leaves, branches, and plants until May 29, but make sure they are in a paper yard waste bag or left loose. Free mulch is also available at all City landfills until May 29. You can find details at calgary.ca/waste. Preventing theft in Ward 14 I recently came upon some very interesting statistics courtesy of the Calgary Police Service. They broke down Calgary’s break and enter (B & E) statistics by community. In all, Ward 14 fared well in comparison, but a couple of salient points were apparent. Almost half of residential B & Es were unforced entries, and the vast majority of garage B & Es were unforced. Can you imagine how much crime we could stop by just locking our doors? Here are some crime prevention tips from the Police: • Do not leave garage doors open • Keep the door to your attached garage locked • eep your front, rear, and patio doors locked, even when at K home • Do not leave valuables near the entrances in your home • Do not leave your vehicles unlocked when parked outside • Do not leave your garage door opener in your vehicle • Close all windows and doors at night They may seem like common sense, but sometimes that seems less common than it ought to be. Two more key points: do not be afraid to report suspicious activity to the police, and get involved with your local community association. The police visit them regularly to share information and hear concerns. You can contact the police at (403) 266-1234 for non-emergencies, and at 911 for emergencies. May Counciltalk others do too. There are only two more Counciltalks before the summer. We will meet on May 14 between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. at the Bonavista Downs Community Hall (1418 Lake Ontario Road S.E.). You will always be able to find details and future dates at calgary.ca/counciltalk, and I also send email reminders about upcoming Counciltalk sessions and other things. You can sign up for reminders at calgary.ca/ward14connect. I hope you know that you can always contact me in a few different ways. For one, you can fill out the contact form at calgary.ca/ward14. You can also call or email. I do not usually include my phone number and email in the body of this column because they are shown in the header, but just in case they are: (403) 268-1653 and eaward14@calgary.ca.
