PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE
“Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets
with planning.” – Thomas Edison
When you go through our neighborhood, and look
around, what do you see? Is Chaparral just the place
where your house is located, or does it help define what
makes your house your home? Is Chaparral a brief stopping point in your travels, or is it where you’ve decided
to lay down roots? Is Chaparral just a snapshot amongst
many in your life, or is it an important background character in the on-going movie about you?
I ask because right now, in late 2011, the residents of
Chaparral have a unique opportunity to decide what they
want to see from our neighborhood. Following the agreement between BFI Canada, the Chaparral Community Association and the Chaparral Residents’ Association from
February 2010, BFI will be providing $1.75 million that the
community can choose to allocate as needed. This is a tremendous gift that arose thanks to the efforts of the CCA

board of directors and past president, Tanya Maksymic.
But such a gift also confers a huge responsibility. The
Chaparral Community Association is responsible for this
fund and ensuring that the interests of our neighborhood
are well served by the fund. As such, the CCA is first establishing a process by which the funds should be considered for use. This process needs to be as transparent
as possible. We want Chaparral residents to know about
the details of the fund - how are requests made? How are
they evaluated? How can community members be advised of the options presented? What is the timeline? And
of course, how are decisions made to spend the money?
This gift belongs to all of the residents of Chaparral. That
said, there is unlikely to be any one project or program
that satisfies all, most, or even a majority of residents.
That is why it is so important that we hear from you now,
as we determine the proper process. It is not yet a question of how the money should be used, but rather of
how we determine how the money should e used.
Our CCA Vice-President, Chris Buchanan, will be chairing the Fund committee. If you would like more information about the process, or even to discuss generally
the Fund, please send Chris an e-mail at vicepresident@
chaparralcommunity.com, or as always feel free to send
me an e-mail at president@chaparralcommunity.com.
Please keep your eyes open for more information about
the process, which we’ll distribute as broadly as we can.
We need you to let us know how to do this. We need
you to let us know what the priorities should be for our
neighborhood. We need you to ensure that how we go
about this process is in a way that makes you comfortable and assured the Fund is being used in the way that
best meets Chaparral’s needs.
Thank you and I hope we will hear from you in weeks
and months ahead as we determine the best way to
make our neighborhood the best it can be. Best regards
and have a great November!

SPECIAL EVENTS
If you came out to the Heritage Fall Festival on Saturday
September 25th... THANK YOU it was a great success! I
cannot tell you how pleased we were to see the smiles
and hear the laughter of our community gathering that
day. Our goal was to bring the community together. I
think we succeeded! The market was HOT! But all the
vendors happily reported a good day! And as for the
dance it sure had a slow start but wow, once people
started to come, it was FANTASTIC! The DJ had everyone
up and dancing and getting together!! By the end of the
night everyone was mingling and having tons of fun.
A great big thank you to the Chapacisers for the Tug O
War. Thank you ATB for the water and freezies. And a
HUGE thank you to the ladies on my team who volunteer
their time, ideas and energy to make it all happen. I look
forward to working with you for a long time ladies! And I

WHY REMEMBER?
We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifice of those one hundred thousand Canadian lives will be meaningless. They died for
us, for their homes and families and friends, for a collection of traditions they cherished and a future they believed in; they died for
Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice rests with our collective national consciousness; our future is their monument.1
These wars touched the lives of Canadians of all ages, all races, all
social classes. Fathers, sons, daughters, sweethearts: they were
killed in action, they were wounded, and thousands who returned
were forced to live the rest of their lives with the physical and mental scars of war. The people who stayed in Canada also served - in
factories, in voluntary service organizations, wherever they were
needed.
Yet for many of us, war is a phenomenon seen through the lens of
a television camera or a journalist's account of fighting in distant
parts of the world. Our closest physical and emotional experience
may be the discovery of wartime memorabilia in a family attic. But
even items such as photographs, uniform badges, medals, and diaries can seem vague and unconnected to the life of their owner. For
those of us born during peacetime, all wars seem far removed from
our daily lives.
We often take for granted our Canadian values and institutions, our
freedom to participate in cultural and political events, and our right
to live under a government of our choice. The Canadians who went
off to war in distant lands went in the belief that the values and beliefs enjoyed by Canadians were being threatened. They truly believed that "Without freedom there can be no ensuring peace and
without peace no enduring freedom."2
By remembering their service and their sacrifice, we recognize
the tradition of freedom these men and women fought to preserve. They believed that their actions in the present would make
a significant difference for the future, but it is up to us to ensure
that their dream of peace is realized. On Remembrance Day, we
acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served their
country and acknowledge our responsibility to work for the peace
they fought hard to achieve.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Successful, healthy communities are generally those with active and sustained membership and involvement
of the community residents. Often a strong membership representation is an indication that our association
is serving the needs of the community and is therefore, valued and supported by its residents. Your support
today is important and ensures new energy to continually address community issues.
What your Community Association does for you…
•
Programs and activities put on by the CCA
(Stampede Kick-off Breakfast, “Winterlude”, to name a few)
•
Social, environmental and civic affairs
(BFI Public Open House, Drugs in your city awareness presentation, Trailblazer, Traffic & Zoning Issues)
•
Government Liaison
(With The City of Calgary and Government of Alberta)
•
Weigh-in on Commercial Applications
(Telus Cell Tower, BFI Canada Inc., Inland Cement and local based businesses)
•
Insurance and Administration
(Covers annual operating costs and applicable insurance cost to operate yearly)
The Chaparral Community Association has been working hard to cover all the views, opinions, and concerns
for all matters pertaining to Lake Chaparral, Chaparral Ridge, and Chaparral Valley outside of the Lake
facility (we have nothing to do with Lake operations). We meet on a bi-weekly basis at the Lake House to
address a progressive agenda. Although voluntary, your membership support is the only way we can operate.
The cost of membership is $20.00 per year running March to March. Without the value of the Community
Association, we would not be able to keep you informed of important events and factors affecting our community as a whole. Please consider becoming a member if you are not already one. We are a non-profit
organization and your membership goes towards community events, programs, and operating costs as mentioned above.

GOOD NEIGHBOURS CLEAR THE SNOW
With the onset of Calgary’s winter, it is time to remind ourselves
how the buildup of ice and snow on city sidewalks can literally leave some people housebound. Older adults, those with
mobility issues or parents wheeling strollers or walking with
young children, may find it too treacherous to venture out if
neighbours are not diligent about clearing the ice and snow.
All of us can help make walking in our communities safe for
everyone if we work together and follow the regulations set
out in Calgary’s Street Bylaw.
Property owners are responsible for clearing all sidewalks adjacent to their property. This means removing all snow and ice
down to the bare concrete within 24 hours after the snow stops
falling. If, as a property owner, you do not live at the residence,
it is important to work with tenants or arrange for a contractor
to clear the snow. The property owner is ultimately responsible
for snow clearing under the bylaw. For any ice that is difficult

An
When clearing the snow from your sidewalk, please remember that snow from a public sidewalk can be put onto the road
or boulevard, but snow from private property cannot. Large
mounds of snow in the street can impede the flow of traffic,
limit driver and pedestrian visibility and hinder Blue Cart and
Black Bin collection.
Sidewalks also need to be clear of obstructions such as electrical cords. When plugging in your vehicle, make sure you don’t
place an electrical cord on or over any portion of a street.
Have you considered being a Snow Angel? It can be a challenge for some residents to shovel and clear their sidewalks.
The Snow Angel campaign encourages Calgarians to be good
neighbours by helping older adults and others in need with
their snow removal. All you have to do is adopt someone’s sidewalk this winter and keep it clear.
Let’s remember that snow, ice and obstructions on our sidewalks can result in serious injuries and can cause those with
limited mobility to be confined indoors. Be a good neighbour
and clear the snow.
To access the City of Calgary Street Bylaw, visit calgary.ca and
search “Street Bylaw” or call 3-1-1.

JAMES A. MICHENER
(1907–1997)
Michener was once invited by President Eisenhower
to a dinner at the White House. He wrote a letter to
Eisenhower explaining why he couldn’t accept.
I received your invitation three days after I had agreed
to speak a few words at a dinner honoring the wonderful high school teacher who taught me how to write. I
know you will not miss me at your dinner, but she might
at hers. In his lifetime, a man lives under fifteen or sixteen presidents, but a really fine teacher comes into his
life but rarely.
Eisenhower wrote back to say that he understood.

We have a great supply of fire wood for those cold
winter nights. We deliver to your door either on a one
time basis or on a regular schedule.
We also specialize in 1/3 cord quantities, because this
is an amount that the average person can burn in one
season, and since it is “clean” and “dry” and ready to
burn, you do not have to purchase a large amount to
season it yourself.
We have the following quantities available:
Face Cord 4’ x 8’ by 16 inches

Half Cord 4’ x 12’ by 16 inches $350.00

SPIN YOUR
WAY TO HEALTH
by Janelle Eisler, Bachelors of Human Kinetics:
Exercise Science, Trico Center for Family Wellness
Trico Centre for Family Wellness is opening a new Spin
Zone equipped with state of the art Keiser Spin bikes
and offering lots of Spin classes.
Heart-pumping, loud music and lots of sweat are great
descriptors of the spin class experience. Spin (or spinning) classes are basically a group workout on specialized stationary bikes called spin bikes.
The classes are led by instructors who guide participants through a series of spin workout phases that are
designed to simulate outdoor riding situations. Some
of the movements and positions include hill climbs,
sprints and interval training.
The great thing about spin class is that you can work at
your own pace as you set the tension on the flywheel of
the bike. So, as your fitness level increases, you can increase your workout as well. Some outdoor bike-riding
enthusiasts will say that spinning on a stationary spin
bike is not the same as riding outdoors but, on the other
hand, spin classes do offer a great alternative when it
is -30 degrees outside. And, you don’t have to wear a
helmet!
The benefits of spinning include increased cardiovascular fitness and increased muscle tone and strength. This
is a great high-intensity, low-impact workout, suitable
for off-season training and all fitness levels.
Trico Centre for Family Wellness is partnered with your
community.

OUT AND ABOUT
IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD
Hold on, man. We don’t go anywhere with “scary”, “spooky”,
“haunted” or “forbidden” in the title. – From Scooby Doo
by Jaden Baragar
Jason Oliver and his wife Chrissy Oliver have a beautiful
family home located at 189 Chaparral Common, but on
October 31st this beautiful family home turns into the
house in the neighborhood everybody fears.
With the torture devices, guillotine, mad scientist lab,
butcher shop, fortune teller and the electric chair that
is sure to set you off your rocker. However those are just
the main pieces that Jason has in his cemetery themed
haunted house every year. This year Jason has added
more to his haunted house to make it look more realistic such as an asylum, morgue and a padded room to
go along with his motto “bigger and better every year”.
It does take a lot of work but it is all worth it in the end.
Jason doesn’t go out and buy everything that is found
in his yard. He makes it all by hand. “I found old trunks
and bottles, wood, a ton of stuff in the dumpsters in
Walden. I go dumpster diving. If I see something I want
I am not afraid to jump right into the garbage and get
it. Someone else’s garbage is my treasure. I spend next
to nothing.”
His beautiful green lawn the day before Halloween but
the next day a place you don’t think you would ever set
foot on takes a lot of hard work to set up. Jason starts
working on this elaborate Halloween Haunted house
from the first weekend in September until an hour before the kids show up at the door to start trick or treating. This is Jason’s third year doing the Halloween set up
in Chaparral but his eleventh year in total, before he did
it in Edmonton while he was in the military at the base.
Obviously this is Jason’s favorite season. As he told me
“With Halloween there is so much creativity involved,
decorating and going to the extreme. Anyone can put
Christmas lights on their house but no one decorates
for Halloween anymore. When I first moved onto Chaparral Common and I did this there were hardly any decorations, now, every year I am seeing more and more.
I hope that people will catch on and make it more enjoyable for the kids!”
Who do we have to thank for this set up making everyone’s Halloween better. Not just Jason but his parents
who got him into doing this. As he states “My parents
did this when I was a kid. Not quite to the extreme that I
do but more than anyone else.”
This Halloween did you see a Chucky or the bride of
Chucky? Maybe did you see a zombie gatekeeper? Don’t
worry; they aren’t actually as scary as they looked. It was
just the Oliver family hiding underneath those costumes.

I think every month I talk about one of my plants as being
my ‘favorite’, and this is another one.
The snake plant is not only decorative but is one of the easiest houseplants to grow. They tolerate low light and require
watering only once a month. I think the key word here with
regard to lighting is ‘tolerate’ – they will tolerate low light
but all plants require some light to be healthy. My plant is
about three feet tall now and it is in front of my north facing
balcony door – I don’t recommend the north but that is all
I have – I would suggest an east exposure would be very
nice for your snake plant – a half day of bright light will give
strong thick leaves.
The appealing feature about this plant is its long, spear-like
leaves. This floor plant looks great in a corner or in a grouping of other plants where its height and shape add contrast.
The Snake plant loves to be root-bound – the best time to
re-pot is when the plant becomes too heavy for the pot.
You’ll know when it is time to transplant because the plant
will become very top-heavy and the pot will fall over. Dividing this plant is easy; it can be done during transplanting by
pulling the individual plants apart at the roots.
Did You Know: An interesting fact about this plant is that
the plant leaf extract is being used as an antivenin used for
snake bites – specifically ‘cobra’ snake bites.

CITY HALL UPDATE
Hello everyone, welcome to the
colder weather, Christmas shopping
and hopefully some good deals on snow tires!
There is a looming and controversial new policy coming
this winter that I think most of you may need to know
about - so please read this column very carefully.
As you know, it is never easy to change things at City
Hall, and often implementing one possible solution creates a whole other set of new problems and unintended
consequences for us. However, one must try or otherwise the world would never make any progress – all of
which brings me to the problem of snow clearing this
year.
We have heard loud and clear that you would like better snow clearing this winter – that the old policies just
aren’t doing the job. Current policies have often been
scoffed at as snow “moval” (as opposed to “removal”) as
our graders just keep shifting it back and forth across
the road, and of course we are all familiar with how
some roads and streets can become nearly impassable
in the days and weeks following a major blizzard.
So we as a Council pushed the Administration to do
something about it. They have come back with the Priority 1 and Priority 2 ( P1 and P2) approach which will
be implemented this winter. The approach has been
relatively successful elsewhere (for eg. Edmonton) but
does present some serious inconveniences whenever
there is a snow event. All cars parked on major routes
(P1) and feeder streets (P2) will have to be removed for
72 hours during any snow event or they will be towed
away. This is to enable much faster grading (without
having to maneuver around parked cars) to get the job
done and done right. This means residents parking on
any of those streets will need to find alternative parking or face the prospect of having their car towed – and
residents adjacent to major streets, may find numerous
new cars parked on their streets as their neighbors have
no place else to go.
I expect there may be a lot of complaints as people learn
to adjust to this new policy. Hopefully we can try and

The poppy is a symbol used to
honour and remember those
who were killed in the wars
and peace keeping operations.
The tradition of wearing a
poppy in honour of Canada’s
war dead takes its origin from
the poem “In Flanders Fields”,
written in 1915 by Canadian
Medical Officer, LieutenantColonel John McCrae.

anticipate some of the hot spots and issues, but I did
think it important to highlight this to you this month so
we can plan ahead and hopefully minimize any problems. You can find out more at: http://www.cocnmp.
com/snic/ (it takes a while to load).
Pedestrian Corridors and the safety of children and even
adults trying to cross busy streets continue to be a priority for me. As you may know, many of the intersections
we are most aware of and concerned about have long
ago been studied and assigned warrant points on the
City’s priority list, and I also insisted on re-doing a number of them this year to make sure the numbers were
right. Currently there are 648 locations across the City
identified as a “priority” - with typically only a few dozen
done each year because of the expense. Ward 14 has
several dozens of locations of concern on this list, and I
will continue to work towards getting all of them done,
however all the other Alderman have the same issues
and problems, and thus the current system was put in
place to ensure fairness and equity. A challenge we also
have in this regard is the demand by many citizens to
“speed up” the traffic and remove any obstacles to faster
commuting – so as you can see these are opposite demands, never easy to resolve. (Yes, we want much slower traffic so we can improve safety in our community,
and Yes, we want traffic greatly speeded up in everyone
else’s community so we can get to work faster!) As you
can see, it isn’t always easy to find the right balance that
will please everyone.
