wrca editor’s message
As a parent, one of my worst nightmares would be my child being hit by
a car. 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!

Are you a new homeowner?
When your home is built, City of Calgary inspectors
ensure it is safe and meets Alberta's safety codes
but a technically-sound building depends on many
factors beyond following building regulations.
As a homeowner, you should ask many questions
about the quality, safety and bylaw rules about your
home before you move in.
The City’s new web guide for Calgarians offers
tips and important information about home
maintenance, renovations, inspections, development
rules and more. Visit calgary.ca/myhome.

Season – NOW RUNNING
Community Membership is required. Tennis/Pickleball membership

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.

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.

How Your HVAC Components Work Together
In most North American homes,
the heating and cooling (HVAC)
components are interconnected into
one system. 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

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

wrca ward 14 update
Ward 14 Councillor - Peter Demong
Phone: 403-268-1653
Email: [email protected]
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 [email protected].
Goodbye for now!
