We are especially pleased to welcome the following new groups: •Zumba!: Let the world music rhythms and Latin inspired choreography of Zumba! bring a sexy and sassy element to your workout. Join instructor Lindsay Brandon for an invigorating class, 8:00 to 9:00 PM, Monday nights. Classes begin October 3rd. Contact Lindsay at 403 454-8328. •Parkland Cubs: Cubs have been missing from the Parkland scene for the last couple of years but return this fall to share the Hall with Beavers Monday nights from 6:30 – 8:00 PM. For more information on this program, please contact Ian and Cindy Ross at 403 720-4072. Welcome back to our returning groups. A lively bunch, the Parkland Beavers return to the Hall Monday nights. Tuesday evenings are busy with Sparks, Brownies and Guides, followed by yoga with Jane Sponiar. Both Jane and the Parkland Guide group have been offering programs at our Hall for many years, and we are pleased to welcome them back for another year. Instruction in Tai Chi is given Wednesday nights by the Taoist Tai Chi Society. This non-profit group promotes good health for the body and mind through a series of slow and graceful movements. The Japanese martial art of karate is taught Wednesday and Thursday nights by Calgary Kyokushin Karate. Kyokushin promises great family fun, and “everyone breaks boards”. Rounding out the week (or beginning it), Hope for the Perishing Church reaches out to the community with their enthusiastic brand of Christianity. On the field behind the Hall, you will often see Colts Football practicing under the rink lights. Welcome to our Hall – new and returning tenants and users. Children’s Halloween Party Please help! The Children’s Halloween Party is a tradition in Parkland, and one that local kids look forward to as part of their Halloween celebrations. Over the past two years, this party has grown bigger and better, with dramatic decorations and lots of “creepy” activities and crafts. Many of the improvements kids have enjoyed have been due to the talents of Kari Willcocks. Unfortunately for us, Kari IMAGINE YOUR POSSIBILITIES will be unable to help out this year. And with Barb – the 2010 Witch and mini pumpkin aficionado - expecting a baby this September (Congratulations Barb!), the committee is now done to just one, me, and I need help! The Halloween Party Committee (me) is looking for individuals – teens or adults – with imagination and enthusiasm, and about 30 hours to donate, to organize this event for 2011. If you can help, please, please email me at [email protected] or phone 403- 278-5330.

Support Your Community 8 SEPTEMBER 2011 I Great News Publishing I Call 403-720-0762 for advertising opportunit i e s COMMUNITY LIAISON OFFICER Hello Parkland Residents! September is here – school is in!! As I mentioned in the August newsletter, our Block Watch program has had several recent resignations of Captains and Coordinators. WE NEED RESIDENTS TO COME OUT AND VOLUNTEER!! Please. I personally have received phone calls over the summer of break-ins and thefts from vehicles. Our community doesn’t normally have a lot of crime (I think in part to Block Watch) but we are not precluded from crime either. It happens…but we are fortunate. As our stats show every month, crime is low in our community. We can’t stress the importance of having an active Block Watch program in Parkland. It keeps our community safer and friendlier…know your neighbours! If you don’t, this is a fantastic way to meet them. Here’s some helpful information from our local Police, CLO, Cst McCaughtrie: Top 10 Tips for a Safe Calgary 1. Keep your garage doors closed – don’t make it easy for a passersby to snatch a bicycle or garden tool. 2. Close your windows at night, even if it’s hot (use a fan or portable air conditioner if it’s too hot to sleep). Open windows, even on the second floor, leave you vulnerable to break-ins. 3. Lock your doors and windows when you’re in your yard. Unlocked front doors provide easy entry to thieves if you’re in the backyard, and vice versa. 4. Know where your children are. Establish rules about where they’re allowed – and not allowed – to go. Keep an age-appropriate eye on them; older children who are out of sight should check in with you regularly. If they miss a check-in, either they need you or you need to know what they’re doing. 5. If you’re going on vacation, make arrangements for your home to look lived in; cancel newspapers and mail deliveries, have the lawn mowed and the garbage put out (and bins put away), have neighbours park in your driveway if possible and set lights and radios on timers. 6. Roll up your vehicle windows and lock your doors when you park. Yes, it will be hot when you get back inside, but a locked vehicle is far less likely to be broken into or stolen while you’re away from it. 7. Never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles. This is illegal and could be potentially fatal. A vehicle interior heats up dangerously quickly in the summer, so never leave your loved ones in the car. 8. Keep an eye on your neighborhood, including pocket parks and playgrounds. Are they being used for their intended purpose, or are they becoming a source of parties late at night or criminal activity? Report nonemergency problems to the Calgary Police Service at 403-266-1234. 9. Watch for the telltale signs of graffiti vandals. If you spot spray-painted or etched graffiti, remember "Record, Report and Remove." Record by taking pictures of the damage, report it by writing the date, time and location on the back of the photo, signing it and dropping it off at the nearest district office or emailing it to cps [email protected] (you can also call 9-1-1 to report graffiti vandalism in progress or 403-266-1234 to report graffiti damage). Visit www.calgary.ca for clean-up tips. 10. Learn to recognize a marijuana grow-op house through signs such as: blacked out windows; people driving into the garage and closing the doors before leaving the vehicle; people continually bringing items concealed in garbage bags in and out; minimal furniture on move-in; minimal garbage disposal; yards not maintained; construction sounds with no visible development; humming sounds; “skunky, ” mothball, air freshener or fabric softener odours; tampered electrical meters; and condensation or wet spots on home exteriors. Call police at 403-266-1234 to report your concerns. For more information about staying safe in your community, please call the District 8 Office or contact your Community Liaison Officer Cst. Ian McCaughtrie at 403-567-6800. Please feel free to call me any time to talk about becoming a volunteer in your community!

The entire school will also enjoy a lengthy gymnastics unit, and, as always, numerous field trips and special guest presentations will take place that will expose students to new experiences and ideas. Students at Prince of Wales have an opportunity to participate in various clubs throughout the school year: junior and senior choir, handbells, hiphop dance, fit kids, lego club, etiquette club and strategic games club. As part of an ecology movement, we plan to move to electronic agendas to save a few trees. Prince of Wales school community thrives on its strong base of parent volunteers. We also welcome community volunteers to help us. Tutors are always needed to assist students with reading, math and fine motor strengthening. Come share your interest with some awesome students. Prince of Wales is a Calgary Reads School. At Prince of Wales, we empower learners! Sam Livingston School Bienvenue! We’re ready for another enriching school year at Sam Livingston School! Students are back to school on Thursday September 1st at a new start time with bussing beginning this day for Gr. 1-4 students. Kindergarten bussing will begin on Tuesday, September 6 after staggered entry days. Please note that school will begin at 8:09am and end at 2:36pm. Kindergarten hours are 8:09am until 10:47am for morning students and 11:58am until 2:36pm for afternoon students. Bus schedules and transportation information will be available in the school office as of Monday August 29 or online at http://www.cbe.ab.ca/transportation/alternative. asp. School calendars (created by the School Council) will be available for sale on the first day of school, and have a great deal of information for families for just $6.00. As many of you may have noticed, the traffic zones around our school have undergone some positive changes. Extra striping over the crosswalks will hopefully draw drivers’ attention to this busy intersection, and a new School Zone has been added to encompass the intersection involving Lake Bonavista Drive and Bonaventure Drive. The maximum speed of 30km starts at 7:30am. Please be aware that it is illegal to park in bus zones, crosswalks, U-turn at posted intersections, and jaywalk. Our students’ safety is of utmost importance, and setting a good example for our young children is something we all strive to do.

This is a great job for a teen, with some parental supervision or a home owner wishing to exchange with another. House sitting duties could include: emptying the mail box, picking up the paper, clearing away flyers, watering plants and generally keeping an eye on things. All service arrangements and remuneration are determined by the owner and house sitter. If you would like to join the Tot Time group we meet every Wednesday from 9:00 am - 11:00 am downstairs in the Multi Purpose room at the Deer Run Community Centre. Caregivers and child/children ages 0-6 yrs old are all welcome. Children will have fun playing, running, make seasonal crafts and socializing. Caregivers could enjoy a cup of coffee and fun and friendly conversation. Tot Time is a great place for both Caregiver and child to make new friendships. Hope to see you there! For more information please contact deerruntottime@ gmail.com, facebook Deer Run Tot Time or call the Community Centre at 403-278-3117.

SUMMERFEST 20111 The 2011 Parkland Summerfest has concluded and was a great success. On behalf of the Board of Directors at Park 96, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all the 14 organizers, volunteers, sponsors, park staff and residents of Parkland. The festival was made possible by many wonderful people coming together to give of their time, expertise, financial generosity and support for this community event. As a community, we were able to gather and enjoy a weekend filled with family-focused events that allowed us the opportunity to spend time with our neighbours, families and friends. A spectacular musical line up including Colin James created the backdrop for what was certainly a well-attended event by our residents. The 2011 Summerfest was about our community and has proven to be a financial benefit for our facility. Thanks again to everyone who helped make this year’s events such a success. Merlin Doucette, President SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR KIDS Our summer programs for kids are over for 2011 – all were successful and fun for the kids! Mother Nature was pretty good and did not present many issues with rain. Park 96 will be looking at various camps for the 2012 summer and will post information on the website in Spring 2012. Should there be camps that you feel could be fun and affordable, please email the Park 96 office at park96@ telus.net. PARK 96 GOES CASHLESS Just a friendly reminder that Park 96 will no longer take cash for annual fees, programs, rentals and so on. The office will accept cheque, Visa, MasterCard and is looking at possibly offering Amex. GENERAL PARK USE If you plan to bring more than 10 people to your Park for a gathering, it is necessary to advise the office. We want to ensure the Park is being used by current Park 96 members and their invited guests as well as to avoid overbooking if there are several requests to use the facilities on a particular day. This guideline applies to all outdoor recreational venues. There is no charge to use our recreational facilities, but please call ahead to book in your group. Park 96 members must remain onsite at all times when bringing guests into the Park. Do not give your Park 96 access card to your guests - if this comes to our attention, the card will be confiscated and SEPTEMBER 2011 I Great News Publishing I Call 403-720-0762 for advertising opportunit i e s Park 96 member privileges suspended.

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. The Optimist Creed was authored in 1912 by Christian D. Larson and was adopted as Optimist International’s creed in 1922. 20 SEPTEMBER 2011 I Great News Publishing I Call 403-720-0762 for advertising opportunit i e s by find your solutions online at www.great-news.ca Created B.G.Rose Brain Games DOWN 1.
