May Reminds Us of Changes
web- http://myrosedale.info
May , 2014
- Olwen Thomas
The Monday closest to May 25 each year is Victoria Day, a
statutory holiday in Canada celebrating the 64 year reign of
Britain’s Queen Victoria. The date continues as the official
birthday for Queen Elizabeth, who became queen in 1953.
Over time, the holiday has morphed into the kick off to
summer with many now referring to it as "May Long" with
camping, BBQs, and spring planting on the agenda.
Just as the holiday has changed, so too has the neighbourhood. In the early part of the
20th century, SAIT became a presence in the area opening the "castle" in 1922 after being
housed in other venues for several
years, and is now an expansive,
modern campus . Crescent Heights
High School originated in the
Balmoral School building prior to
moving to its current site, and set
to celebrate 100 years in 2015.
Balmoral School (left), named
after the Royal castle in Scotland, is
a designated historical building,
one of the few original sandstone
structures remaining. The stately
Bishop's House and grounds at the
south end of 7A Street is now a
private residence.
When Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne, Rosedale was blossoming as a residential community. A number of homes from the earlier part of the century are still in existence
with the Huber home on Crescent Road a fine example of the architecture of the day.
Several families have generations continuing in the older homes such as the Nixons, Mills,
Campbells, Pillidges and the Lennons to name a few. While families such as the Kearls have
offspring living nearby.
Kate Reeves' book "Rosedale Stories" published in 2000, and available at the public library,
highlights many families who have been in the area forty plus years. As the neighbourhood
ages, the style of housing has also changed from the smaller one story with fewer
bedrooms and bathrooms to larger 21st century designs.
The sense of community has not changed with caring, involved families supporting the
community centre which was established in 1950. A number of additions to the building and
grounds have provided a vibrant location for activities and celebrations, and especially a
place for new comers to Rosedale to meet both old and new residents.
On this Victoria Day, why not take time to enjoy the historical aspects of Rosedale along
with new developments such as the promenade and McHugh Bluff pathways? Enjoy the
much anticipated long weekend of Spring, whether you choose the traditional Victoria Day
or ‘May Long’.

Rosedale Traffic Requests To City - Fotis Kalantzis, Traffic Chair
Rosedale Community Association
In response to the
invitation from Ward 7
City Councillor, Druh
Farrell, the traffic
committee suggests the
following 1) Cut-through
traffic:
a. at the intersection of
7th Ave NW and Center St
between 16:00 and 18:00
hours. Many drivers turn
west there, although it is prohibited from 15:30 to 18:00 and then they
continue west and on to Crescent Rd and then cut through the whole
neighborhood and out on to 10th St NW.
b. in the afternoon at 4th St NW on to 13th Ave NW west, drivers turn
illegally into Rosedale.
c. Also, many drivers turn illegally in the afternoon from10th St NW
on to13th Ave NW east.
d. Also drivers turn illegally in the morning hours from 16th Ave NW
on to 7 St NW South.
2) Excessive speeds…..please enforce speed limits:
a. During all times of the day, but especially between 16:00-18:00,
many will drive over 60-70 km/h (on a 50 km zone) going north on 10th
St NW (between 5th Ave and 16th Ave NW). As a result some days, it is
almost impossible and outright dangerous for us to drive out of Rosedale
and turn south from 13 Ave SW on to 10th St NW (recently, there was a
t-bone accident here). Perhaps, move the south-bound bus stop north of
the intersection. The Roads department needs to study this exit from
Rosedale onto 10th Street to go south.
b. Excessive speeds also occur at various times on both 13 Ave NW
and on Crescent Rd NW and many times on the streets that connect.
Police need to enforce speed limits on Crescent Rd and the Roads
department needs to change the speed limit to 30km/h.
We feel that police enforcement is important for all these key areas.
Neighbourhood Transition - Wayne Thomas
Here we are, a privileged, single family residential
community, tucked away in a semi-parkland setting,
perched on a wonderful view-point, overlooking the
downtown of one of Canada’s most vibrant cities. Life is
good! But, our City, like many fast-growing urban
centres, is undergoing many transitions.
We’re adding vehicular
traffic volume, even as we
initiate dedicated bikelanes, and plan for new
transit corridors. The face
of family housing in
Rosedale is moving from
small bungalows to multistory and much larger
homes. There is an active
City discussion surrounding
the ‘housing density / suburban sprawl’ dilemma. We
are hearing that auto emissions may be the #1
environmental threat we now face. We live at a faster
pace, and our personal interests can easily be at odds
with those of other citizens, and even with our
neighbours.
How do we help make some of these transition more
positive? How can change work for us all ? Fortunately,
we have people busy within our community on ideas to
help with traffic concerns, and we are acting in concert
with surrounding communities, like Crescent Heights, to
tackle common issues. We have an active recreational
component in Rosedale, with yoga, meditation, tennis,
soccer, walking groups,
movie nights, dance, pub
nights, and much more.
When we think of making
Rosedale a safer traffic
zone, we can then
consider taking
advantage of our
preferred location in the City, and many of us could walk
and bicycle rather than jump in the car. Our City Parks
and Transportation Departments are taking a longer
look at McHugh Bluff pathways and trails as they relate
to a comprehensive ‘walkability’ plan. We live in a very
safe community for both adults and school-aged kids,
and we should get out and enjoy it ... on foot.
We can all become more community conscious; greet
your neighbours, pay attention to what’s going on around
us, and pitch in to help when there are projects in the
works to improve our small community. How would you
like things to go here in Rosedale, and in the wider
community? Sharing challenges and ideas can help us find
better ways.
As we approach the 100th anniversary of the school, it
seems fitting for our community, to reflect on the
Crescent Heights HS motto, Crescit Eundo (We grow as
we progress).

C-Train Plans are Taking Shape -
City Councillor, Druh Farrell
Calgary Transit is close to finalizing the route for the North Central LRT, which will extend from the downtown all the way to
Harvest Hills. The North Central route is the north half of the Green Line, a major north/south busrapid-transit and LRT line outlined in RouteAhead, Calgary’s 30-year strategic plan for transit.
Rather than the high floor trains that we’re used to, the Green Line will use less costly low-floor
technology.
The North Central LRT is needed for residents and businesses along the major corridors in the
north. Almost 50,000 cars travel along Centre Street, Edmonton Trail and 4th Street NW corridors
every day, not including trips on Deerfoot Trail from the North Central neighbourhoods. Centre Street, at 30,000 bus passengers a day, is the most successful transit route in Calgary, far
surpassing the 18,000 daily vehicle counts. A victim of its own success, the transit demands on
Centre Street exceed supply. An LRT would provide faster, cleaner, and more efficient trips for
over 100,000 passengers.
The Green Line will be designed with sustainability in mind. Among other guiding principles, the
Green Line will provide and enhance:
· connections between people and places through walking and cycling, and links with new and existing bus routes,
· neighbourhood development and revitalization,
· vitality of local businesses by promoting business development and access,
·
Complete Streets including landscaping, urban design, and pedestrian and cycling networks.
Over the coming months, City staff will conduct further analysis and engage with the public to determine the final alignment of the
Green Line. One of the critical decisions remaining is whether to run the line up Centre Street or Edmonton Trail and whether to
place the tracks above or below ground along certain sections. Staff will report back with their recommendations to Council by the
end of 2014. You can find out more by visiting routeahead.ca. For more information about Ward 7, please visit my website at druhfarrell.ca.

Rosedale
Be a Responsible Pet Owner -
reporter
Carol Blakey
A recent situation at the McHugh Bluff off-leash park where a dog bit another owner and
their dog leads us to urge pet owners to be considerate of others, and to know the
pertinent City by-laws for responsible pet ownership.
What’s happening
Section 13 of Calgary’s Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw 23M2006 requires – “The Owner
of a dog in an “off Leash area” shall ensure that such dog is under control at all times.”
The bylaw is very specific about what “under control” means and all dog owners should
understand the definitions and the implications.
The Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw also
prohibits “at-large cats”. Section 37 specifically
states that an Enforcement Officer “may
capture and impound any cat Running at Large
with respect to which a complaint under this
Bylaw has been made”. However, despite the
regulations, possible fines and danger from
coyotes that prey in the area, we continue to have issues with residents letting their
cats roam .
Some residents have spent decades developing safe havens for a surprisingly wide
variety of bird life, and the maturity and variety of Rosedale trees and bushes provides
an excellent habitat for chickadees, nut hatches, northern flickers and house wrens.
Rosedale is a small, friendly and unique community within a very large city.
Our residents want to remain “neighbourly” and not be put in a position where they
have to contact enforcement agencies to report irresponsible pet owners. To that end,
we encourage all pet owners to become familiar with the Bylaw governing pet
ownership in Calgary.
The Bylaw can be downloaded at: http://www.calgary.ca/CSPS/ABS/Pages/AnimalServices/Responsible-pet-ownership-bylaw.aspx Infractions can be reported at: Animal
& Bylaw Services, 3-1-1.

Hip - Kids May Project
Study Promotes Healthy Living -
- Marnie Worbets
“Fashion for school and fun”
Researchers at the University of Calgary are conducting the
“Pathways to Health” study in your community. The aim of
this study is to
understand the role of
neighbourhoods in
supporting physical
activity and healthy
diet. Only a few households will be randomly selected to
participate in your community. We would greatly appreciate
if you would complete the survey package if your household
receives one. Your views and opinions are extremely
important to us.
If your household receives the “Pathways to Health” survey
package in the mail, and you have any questions, please
contact the lead investigator Dr. Gavin McCormack
([email protected] or 403-220-8193).
This month, we are going to help
teenage girls from low-income
homes with their wardrobe. Your
new or very gently used clothing,
shoes, accessories can be donated
and will be given out through My
Best Friend’s Closet at Making
Changes. You can also make a funky
bracelet or other piece of jewellery
to adorn their new outfit.
Your project needs to be completed
and dropped off to 750 Crescent Rd,
NW ( can be left on the doorstep)
by the week of May 19th.
The mandate of Making Changes is to empower women of all
ages through knowledge and a selection of attire to inspire
confidence. Website : www.makingchangesassociation.ca

CALL - May Events - Carol Gerein
YOGA CLASSES:
These events at the RCA Hall are open to all Rosedale residents at no
charge.
CALL Café: Monday, May 12 - The Writer in Winter, with Sharon Butala
RCA Hall, 1 - 3 p.m. (Free for members - Guests welcome. No registration.)
You can’t separate being an old writer from being an old person, and
further, from the differing effects of aging on women and men. The
condition in itself of being old is quite wonderful (aside from illness and
debilitation) but the aging/aged writer is as subject to ageism as old people
are in any profession. Sharon Butala has published sixteen books of both
fiction and nonfiction. She has won a number of awards and has been
shortlisted twice for the Governor General’s Award and once for the
Commonwealth Prize.
Treks and Travels - $5 charge at the door for non-members. No
registration required. Guests welcome!
We are looking for more CALL adventurers–CALL members and others– to
come forward to stimulate and inspire us with accounts of their treks and
travels. If you are interested and would like to know more, please contact
us by e-mail at [email protected].
Treks and Travels: A Brief History of the Burgess Shale
Wednesday May 21 at 7:30-9:30 p.m. at RCA Hall
The animals of the Burgess Shale have taught us more about early life on
Earth than any other fossil locality in the world. Studied for over 100 years,
the remarkably preserved fossils have changed the way science views early
life history and have shaped modern evolutionary theory.
Speaker- David Moore holds an MSc in geology and paleontology and has
been a guide with the Burgess Shale Geoscience Foundation for over twenty
years.
There are a number of new interest groups starting up in May and 2 Art
Gallery Tours. See the CALL website - calgarylifelonglearners.ca
for more information - Gathering Your Wisdom , Personal Finances for
Grownups ,
Art Gallery Tours, The Glenbow - "Made in Calgary - the 1990's" ,
Art Gallery Tours, - The Esker Foundation
Hold That Trowel !
After a long snowy winter, we
are all anxious to get out to
till the soil. But, be patient,
do some of the prep work, let
the lawn dry out and sweep
away signs of mold; choose
spots for new perennials and
shrubs, and look forward to
Victoria Day for most
planting.
The City usually plants
annuals about June 1, but, if
you just can't wait, perhaps a
few hardy pansies in pots will
do the trick. Be sure to look
for crocuses on McHugh Bluff;
a hopeful sign of spring.

Weather Cancellation Policy - As our
soccer season is short, we do our best to
keep to the scheduled nights. As a general
rule, we will only cancel games if there is
lightning or the fields are too wet from DAYS
of rain. If it is just a lightly rainy night, soccer
will still be ON. In the rare case that we do
call off soccer, it is the decision of the
soccer committee, not the coaches*. We will
post weather cancellations by 5:00 pm the
night of soccer at http://myrosedale.info/

*Note: for U10 - U18 teams, it is the decision of the coaches, upon consultation with
the other coaches AT THE FIELD. Expect to show up and play regardless of the weather.

that parents put in. Please make sure to honour the volunteer commitment you signed
up for at registration. If you need to change your volunteer role, please email our

Volunteer Requests: 1) we need someone with a mower to help keep the lines
clear. 2 ) we are looking for a Soccer Co-Commish in-training 3) a coach for U14
mixed team.
Those of us with small dogs, big dogs,
cats, rabbits, small children, or any
naturalist interests might be keen on
the May 2nd ‘Jane’s Walk’ - ‘Song Dogs

Soccer “Commish” - This will be my last season as our "Soccer Commish". I would like
to take this opportunity to thank all the wonderful members of our soccer committee for
all of their help! Without these dedicated people, soccer wouldn't happen.
I would be happy to help out any new person(s) who may be interested in filling the
Soccer Commish role. Ideally, this could happen this season to ease in the transition.
Please get in touch if you think you can help. If this role is not filled, there will be no
community soccer next season.

and EH Team and Bill Bourne) on bass, and Thom Moon ( Ian Tyson) on drums, a veteran rhythm section that's well-versed in the
mastery of playing music as opposed to playing songs. On guitar is virtuoso Brett Spaulding . Add to this the fiery and expressive
Saxophone and vocals of Mike Clark and you have an exciting and unforgettable musical experience.
“The word “finesse” comes to mind when defining Steve Pineo. He is, all around, the best guitar player I have ever
worked with.” Billy Cowsill -- The Cowsills, The Blue Shadows, The Co-Dependents
