Bring on summer! The warmer temperatures are finally here and so are
the many opportunities to volunteer, play sports and get involved in
our community. If you enjoy volleyball and would like to meet some
new friends, check out page 5 for
the scoop on adult drop-in volleyball. Do you dislike driving to get
your groceries? Many of your
neighbors do too and have already
started supporting local producers
(most of whom deliver) listed on
pages 9 and 14. Our brand new
local primary care clinic has a new
name—read on to find out what it’s
called and when you can make your
first appointment. Canada Day is
just around the corner and we need
volunteers. See page 4 for details.
The Wild Rose Club is celebrating
its 25th anniversary—see page 28 to
find out how they will mark this
special occasion. Don’t forget to
join Martin Parnell this Sunday for
our second annual fun run, brunch
and family-friendly silent auction—
you just might be able to get Dad
something special for Father’s
Day—more on page 17.
SLOW DOWN! The warmer temperatures are here and our community’s children are back outdoors on
their bikes and skateboards every day. The speed limit throughout the ENTIRE community is 30km/hour.
Please obey the limit—this is for everyone’s safety.
The Colin Rudolph Memorial Skate Park—Now Open!
The ice is gone and the ramps on
the rink are set for another season
of board and bike activity! With
the final installation of equipment
in late May, the Skate Park will
keep users of all levels challenged
and having a blast.
The RMCA would like to thank the
local crew of dads who came out to
put the community park back together. This ain’t no Lego set!
Thanks to Dan Watson, Bart Frasca,
Dave Dunay, Glen Van Camp,
Trevor Davis, Warren Cleaver, Zak
Schnell and Mark Madeiros. Special
thanks to Megan Bishop for feeding
this hard-working crew!

TOWN COUNCIL NEWS
Emergency Planning is in Place for Possible Spring Flooding
Council has reviewed the townsite plan in the event
of spring flooding. We feel we are ready for the potential emergency with personnel and proper equipment in place. We do ask that all residents add the
townsite of Redwood Meadows as a follow on your
Twitter and Facebook accounts as we will be sending
out any urgent messages via social media. We will
also be using the town website, mass email and even
regular mail and phone calls if necessary. Hopefully,
we will escape the flood threat this year, but if flooding happens, we are prepared.
You may have noticed some work being done to the
water pipes throughout the townsite. Leaks have
been detected, and crews are working to pinpoint the
problem spots and make repairs. Some of the digging
will have to take place in July and August when the
water table is lower.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but the work is
essential for the betterment of the community.
There's still no official word on when Eastlink will be
upgrading their services in the town. We have been
told that the plan is to install fibre optic cable to increase internet speed and improve cable.
As I write this, work has started on the installation of
the skateboard park in the hockey rink. A special
thank-you to all the volunteers who helped out. Redwood Meadows is a better community thanks to all
our volunteers. The skateboard park should be up
and running by the time you read this.
Council meetings are held on the first and third
Wednesday of each month at the town office, and everyone is welcome to attend. This month's meetings are
set for June 6th and 20th.

THANK YOU ADMAKI, FROM THE
REDWOOD MEADOWS SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE
The RMSC has a new look! Actually, it is not a new look per se, but it is our first-ever look … and we love it! Great big
thanks to Tanya and Mark Kamachi of AdMaki for creating this fantastic logo.
We think it says it all - a tree with a house inside it, just like our wonderful forested community. The house can also be
viewed as an arrow, which signifies growth, change and moving forward (and is also connected to the recycle logo). By
having the tree shape as the focus (and larger than the house), this logo communicates that our community's priority is
preserving the natural ecosystem that we call home.
Let us know what you think! Email [email protected]

‘Docs in the Creek” is a reality!
After two and half years of planning, negotiating and
holding our vision of a local primary care option for
our community, your Mountain Woods Health Services Board is delighted to announce to the greater
Bragg Creek and area residents that we have an opening date for our new ‘family care centre’ – the new
Premier’s moniker for local primary care clinics!
The newly built-out clinic at 20 White Avenue
(occupying ½ the space of the current pharmacy in
the Village Market Mall) will be handed over to our
physicians on July 1st, 2012. During the month of July, clinic staff will be busy setting up equipment,
training on procedures and EMR’s (electronic medical
records) and taking initial appointments for patient
visits.
Kieran Brown, resident of Redwood Meadows, winner of the
MWHS clinic naming competition with MWHS board members
Sharon Bayer and Andi Gabb.
Patient visits are slated to begin August 6th. The new
telephone number that prospective patients can call
to schedule appointments for August and beyond
will be announced when it is available.

A Heartfelt Thanks for Community Support
Residents of Redwood Meadows/Bragg Creek:
Our names are Alexa T., Madison M. and Keely A.
We are three 11- and 12-year-olds who go to Springbank Middle School. We are doing a project to raise
$25,000 for Easter Seals Camp Horizon, a camp for
persons with disabilities just outside Bragg Creek.
We decided that half of the money we raised would
go towards updating and renovating the camp, and
the other half would go towards keeping up the 50
percent subsidy for campers who can’t afford to pay
the entire registration fee. Some of you may have
seen us in the newspaper or at tables at local events.
You may also have heard about us from your friends
or family, or seen our video at www.indiegogo.com.
It has been great to have the community behind us
throughout our campaign. Without you, we would
never have made it this far! No matter how you
helped, donating $10 or $1,000, emailing links to people you know or encouraging us, it’s because of you
that we succeeded.
So thank you very, very
much for all of your
support and encouragement throughout all of
our project. We really
appreciate it!
What you may not know is that we made our goal! In Thank you very much for all of the support from our

Native Plants: Better for the Environment, Less Work for Gardeners
In May, the Redwood Meadows Sustainability Com- (which means less pollution entering our natural
mittee (RMSC), in partnership with the Alberta Native Plant Council and Rocky View County, held a
native and invasive plant species seminar to help
educate residents about the importance of gardening
with native plants and avoiding the use of invasive
plant species. The seminar was also part of the
RMSC's goal of achieving Audubon International
Green Neighbourhood certification by bringing a
focus of native landscaping to our community.
Invasive species are considered those that are not
native to an area, have been introduced (usually for
ornamental reasons), and thrive to such a degree
that they severely outcompete native species. Typically, they grow aggressively in the absence of natural controls and adversely impact native habitats.
These species fall into two categories:
prohibited noxious – known to be detrimental to
human or animal health or the general environment; landowners are required to eradicate these
weeds under the provincial Weed Act ; locally, this
includes species such as Spotted Knapweed, Orange Hawkweed and St. John’s Wort
noxious – also detrimental to human/animal
health and the environment, but only need to be
controlled (not eradicated), usually by preventing
seed production or transport of seeds in substances such as hay or dirt; includes the Canada Thistle
and Ox-Eye Daisy.
Native species, on the other hand, are those that
have evolved over time and have become adapted to
our local climate and soil conditions. They grow
well and easily in our green spaces, requiring little,
if any, additional help. (In fact, because they are so
perfectly suited, any extra “food” applied to your
garden ends up helping your weeds the most!)
Plants are natural sources of food and shelter for
many living creatures. From an ecological perspective, animals and other critters follow the plants they
require to survive, so if native plants are abundant,
so will be the other living things that depend on
them for their survival.
Native plants need less water, fewer chemicals
16
CHATTER IN THE WOODS, June 2012
systems), less work to help them grow, and less
maintenance; they can save you a lot of time, frustration and money. Most importantly, they support the
natural ecology of the area. Additionally, supporting native plant growers helps to support local business, as these species are not well offered at conventional garden centres.
There are several native plant growers operating
within a short drive to Redwood. The following
were presenters at our seminar, offer a wide variety
of native plants, and are amazing resources for
planting your own native garden:
Wild About Flowers – located in Turner Valley; www.wildaboutflowers.ca
Bow Point Nursery – located in Springbank;
www.bowpointnursery.com
Eastern Slopes Rangeland Seeds – located in
Cremona
www.nativeplantproducer-esrs.com
The Alberta Native Plant Council is another great
resource to check out at www.anpc.ab.ca.
To plant a native garden, follow these simple steps:
Site evaluation – determine sun, drainage,
shade and slope aspects of the site
Plant preference – decide on what kind of
plants you want: shrubs, biennials, etc.
Plant characteristics – look into the height,
width, time of flowering, fall colour, etc.
Special features – consider bloom time, attraction to pollinators, deer resistance, etc.
The native grower websites above will allow you to
find all the information you need to fulfill these four
steps when you select a species of choice. Using these resources will make it easy for you to plant your
own native garden that will thrive without a lot of
work from you and which will help to support the
natural systems in our area.

Volunteer Profile: Travis Hurst—Helping out on the Playing Field
When you meet Travis
Hurst, you may not immediately “get” his sense of
humor. He has a dry, sarcastic wit that can be hard
to catch, but once you do,
you might not be able to
stop laughing. Take, for
example, this volunteer
profile. Because of his
busy schedule and
dedication to his two
L-R: Lucas, Travis and Adam Hurst
toddler boys, I emailed
Travis a list of questions about his volunteer coaching to tackle in his spare time. He emailed back hilarious, made-up answers, joking that winning was
everything.
He thought it was funny when a team of 6 to 10 kids
all went their own way at practice.
“During play a couple of kids would sit in the net,

Try an Orienteering Clinic for Free in Redwood Meadows
Last September you may have
noticed a large number of people running around Redwood
Meadows with maps and compasses, trying to find controls
with orange and white flags.
They were members of the Calgary Orienteering Club
(http://
orienteeringcalgary.ca/) and they were here for their
yearly Club Championships. Orienteering is a sport
that combines running and navigation. Imagine a
cross-country running race where everyone picks his
or her own route. Orienteering is suitable for all ages
and fitness levels. It can be enjoyed as a walk in the
woods or as a competitive race combining strategic
thinking, navigation, strength, and high-intensity
cross-country running.
On June 20, the Calgary Orienteering Club will return
for one of its weekly Wednesday night meets, and
this time we would love it if the community came out
and tried this really fun sport for free.
We’ll give anybody who shows up at 6:30 pm at the
skate shack a quick clinic and then you’ll get a map
and you’re off. All you need to bring is stuff you
would wear when you go running and a compass if
you have one (if not, we have plenty to lend out).
Everyone from 5 years and up is welcome, but you’ll
probably want to shadow your younger kids on the
course.
It will be a great way to look at our community from
a whole new perspective and find some spots you
may never have seen before. We hope to see lots of
you on the sports field on June 20 between 6:30 and 8
pm!

Summer’s here—lock your doors!
A few weeks ago I had someone attempt to break into my home in Redwood—here’s what happened.
I startled awake from a deep sleep by the excited
barking of our dog. There was someone yanking at
the exterior door which leads directly into our bedroom. Socked and scared, I yelled out “get out of
here” but it had no effect. Heart pounding as the
person continued to try to get in I yelled “Get out of
here, or I will call the police.” A soft voice then said
“Don’t call the police. My name is Angie. It is spelled
A-N-G-I-E.” She was still trying to get in, and I didn’t know if there were others with her.
In a stronger tone I yelled “I’m calling the police” at
which point she stopped, walked off the deck, and
staggered across the lawn, wearing only a thin sweater.
The clock showed 5:25 am. With a pounding heart I
phoned 911 and was then connected to Cochrane
RCMP. They said they would send a car into Redwood to try to find her and take her to a shelter. I
hope that happened as it was below zero that morning. I was very glad that all the doors were locked
and my guard dog was on duty.

NUTRITION
Healthy Snacks and Water Keep Little Athletes Going Strong
With the onset of warm weather finally upon us, we
break out the lawn chairs to watch the kids play
sports. They run around like crazy people and flop to
the ground afterward to inhale a snack provided by
an obliging parent. However, have you ever really
considered your kid’s sports nutrition?
Kids typically expend upwards of 25 percent more
energy than adults when active due to lack of coordination and economy of movement. This could be the
reason parents so often hear “I’m starving!” at any
given time of day. Consider what and when you feed
your kids to keep hunger at bay.
After exercise, the aim is to rehydrate and replace energy losses. Post-exercise snacks and meals can determine how fast your little athletes recover. Ensure they
eat something within a half hour of finishing their
session. Fruit right away is ideal as it is juicy, high in
fibre, and full of antioxidants. However, research indicates that taking in a little protein with some carbohydrate enhances recovery time, so make sure that a
more substantial snack or meal is taken within about
two hours post-exercise.
Finally, hydrate! Kids sweat less than adults, become
hotter, and succumb to heat faster, and they often
don’t respond to thirst signals. Encouraging water
Pre-exercise snacks should be easily digested and eatintake throughout the day, drinking a glass of water

Bragg Creek Ladies Auxiliary – Local Heroes Work Hard for Community
The Bragg Creek Ladies Auxiliary, a fundraising arm
of the Bragg Creek Community Association (BCCA),
is a group of impressive and dedicated women who
make generous financial and service contributions to
our community. This small group of local unsung heroes works hard to serve Bragg Creek and surrounding communities.
Founded in 1958, The Bragg Creek Ladies Auxiliary
began as a group of women working to support community initiatives. In the 1990s the auxiliary boasted
100 members; now just 14 ladies continue the group's
work. “We need new members. We have to continue
the legacy that started back in 1958,” said Handrahan.
“These community-minded women really want to
make a difference,” said Ladies Auxiliary Vice President Jane Prebushewsky. Since 2002, the organization has donated over $18,000 to local groups and the
BCCA. Money raised has helped landscape and provide supplies for the community centre as well as
support events like Bragg Creek Days and the Easter
pancake breakfast. Local organizations such as the
Bragg Creek Food Bank, Bragg Creek Community
Church, Bragg Creek Performing Arts, Bragg Creek
Hockey, and the Bragg Creek Community Kindergarten have also benefitted from their fundraising.
Each year the group organizes a major fundraiser. In
recent years, they have hosted a Valentine’s dance,
two Western dances, a Caribbean Calypso, and
Shanghi Nights. “When so few of us band together
and pull off amazing events, it’s a real accomplishment,” said Handrahan. The ladies in the group have
formed life-long friendships through the organization. “[It] allows me to be part of fundraising events
and part of people’s lives in this community,” said
Prebushewsky. “These ladies are amazing,” said
Handrahan. “We sincerely care for each other and
we’d all band together to help one another if asked.”

was also discussed.
The Junior Kindergarten children spent most of May

parents and children enjoyed the adventure. Thank
you to all the volunteers who helped make this trip

WILD ROSE SENIORS
Wild Rose Seniors Club—Celebrating 25 Years!
As you may already know, our club is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year. A reunion of former and current members is planned for September 23rd at Redwood
House. Attendance is by invitation only, so if you are a former member and would like
to attend please contact us through the Redwood Meadows Townsite office to receive a
personal invite.
The club’s inaugural meeting was held in the home of Don & Marg McKeague and was
presided over by the first President Mike Magnusson. At its formation, there were 20
members 55+, who came together to enjoy each others’ company, playing bridge, and
sharing dinners.
To quote a Newsletter Release October 23, 1987 the Club was intended to “provide the opportunity for social,
cultural, educational, and sporting activities.” The current age for membership is 50+.
In 1987, Redwood House had not yet been completed so members took turns hosting meetings and dinners at
each others’ homes. In 1991, Phase I of Redwood House was completed so that the club was able to move into
its current location in the Wild Rose Room. Over the years the club has been involved in many diverse activities such as planting flower beds around the community and encouraging residents to beautify their homes.
This activity was highlighted in 1999 when as part of the celebration of the ‘International Year of the Older
Person’; their logo was designed and planted in flowers at the entrance to Redwood House. It was a beautiful
sight if you recall it.
The Wild Rose Club has existed for 25 years as a result of the enthusiasm, hard work and dedication of its
members. Our weekly Coffee and Muffins social time Wednesdays at 10:00 am at the Wild Rose Room will
resume October 10, 2012. We welcome those 50+ to join us for refreshments and consider becoming members.
Our membership dues are quite reasonable and can be prorated for new members. Membership provides access to club outings and pot luck dinners, for example our fall dinner in October and our Christmas dinner
in early December. Our club can only continue to survive through the influx of new members. You are cordially invited to find out more about us and consider being part of our next quarter century!

FITNESS
Fitness: Embrace your Mediocrity and Move on
Were you one of those naturally gifted athletes in
school? You know, the ones who were adored by
gym teachers and admired by fellow students? The
ones who trained hard during the week and competed on weekends? No? Me neither. As I recall, my
childhood exercise consisted of riding my bike to the
candy store or walking to Patty-Ann's house to play
in her basement.
The same advice applies to people who weren't jocks
in school. Embrace your mediocrity, and then look
forward. Find an activity that you like. It doesn't
have to be pumping iron at the gym or running on a
track. Just get moving in some way. Challenge yourself to try something new. Summer is coming, the
perfect time to try hiking, biking, inline skating, canoeing, kayaking...
Okay, I did play soccer – not that well – and compete You're never too old to teach your body new tricks,

On the other end of the spectrum, a friend of mine
competed at a high level in martial arts all through
school. As an adult, she could also ski, bike, swim,
run and climb better than most women I know. But
she only ever compares herself to her younger, fitter,
faster self – and she always comes up short. She's still
fitter than most women her age, but that's not good
enough.
If you're like my friend, still comparing yourself unfavourably to the glory days of your youth, well, enjoy the memories, but if you're not as fit as you once
were, maybe it's time to get over it. Set yourself a
new goal and get going.
