COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
PARKLAND SOCCER
IS GROWING STRONG
As your full-time professional
REALTOR®, I will work with you as you move
through the different phases in your life.
Parkland Soccer is proving itself a popular alternative
to club soccer. We are happy to report an increase in
participants over 2011, our inaugural year. This season
the group has grown to eight U6 teams, six U8 teams
and four 8+ teams. Approximately 140 exuberant kids
fill the Parkland soccer fields Monday and Wednesday
nights as parents and grandparents cheer them on. It
is truly a community endeavor with organizers, players,
coaches and families all from Parkland and surrounding neighbourhoods, and local soup lady, Caroline Hart,
supplying the “catering” of hot meals and other delights. (Everyone is welcome to come to the Hall on soccer nights to check out Caroline’s menu items for sale).
Parkland Community Association provides administration, storage and building access, and financial support
to purchase equipment and pay for other soccer related
expenses.
Since March, the soccer coordinators have been working diligently, organizing the kids into teams, finding/
begging for coaches and assigning other volunteers.
This is a big job and they deserve a big thank you. Coordinators are: Kara Lloyd (U6), Susan Peeters (U8) and
Cindy Ross (8+).
Almost 150 neighbourhood kids playing community soccer on local fields, parents and others volunteering, having neighbors talking and laughing
together. All of this makes for a strong neighbourhood. Thank you for the financial and organizational support from Parkland Community Association, Kara Lloyd, Susan Peters and Cindy Ross. It's
great to have Community Soccer back.

will never have a reason to be as fearful of dogs as this
woman was.
If your child feels threatened by a stray dog they must
not run. Dogs have a strong chase reflex whether they
are friendly or not. A friendly dog may chase a running child and inadvertently knock them down, but a
dog with its predatory instincts on alert may be incited
to bite. BE A TREE! Your child should stand motionless
wrapping their arms close to themselves. Do not make
eye contact. Look away or even close your eyes. A dog
may come and sniff them but would likely find this
person uninteresting and wander away. Then the child
should quietly walk to a responsible adult.
BE A TREE
CHILDREN AND
STRANGE DOGS
As a veterinarian and dog trainer, I have an extensive
background in animal behavior, and I have taught
my children to behave appropriately around dogs…
I thought. Recently I scrambled to intervene as one of
my sons walked up to an unknown dog, asked for and
received permission to greet the dog from its owner,
where upon, he grabbed the dog and hugged it around
the neck. This dog was giving out all kinds of signals
that this made him uncomfortable, and fortunately he
chose not to bite.
I previously recounted the story about a very big sweet
dog strolling into the Tsuu T’ina bottle depot carrying a
plastic jug hoping someone would throw it for him. The
woman two stations over from me started screaming
hysterically, swinging her arms, jumping up and down,
and kicking out at the dog. This silly dog dropped his
jug at her feet, sat down with his head cocked to one
side, and looked over this mad woman, until we shooed
him out of the depot. Now I have my own personal phobias so I try to be sympathetic of others, but her shrill
over-the-top screaming hurt my ears and made me
want to bite her. If this dog had a fearful or aggressive
bone in his body this woman was doing everything to
potentially set him off. By teaching children how to behave when they encounter a stray dog, hopefully they
6
If the child is on the ground they need to BE A LOG!
They can be a rolled up stone for that matter, but the
same rules apply, arms wrapped around the body and
motionless. No eye contact.
A child’s high-pitched screams are often irritating or
exciting to dogs. It goes against a child’s need to cry
for help, but trees and logs are silent.
Do not assume you or your child can read a dog’s intentions. Dogs about to bite may have their heads up, and
wag their tails. Tail wagging has little to do with judging
aggression. The dog my son was hugging radiated discomfort by panting, straining to get away, and pinning
his ears back. Liam was oblivious to the dog’s body language in his excitement to greet the dog. Forgetting the
rules is part of why they’re children and most children
love animals. Review the rules frequently and remind
children their dog is not the same as every other dog.
If your child does wish to pet a leashed dog, first teach
them to ask permission of the owner, and then wait
for permission to be granted. Finally, let the owner get
control of the pet in a sit-stay or on a short leash prior
to putting out your hand palm upward and below the
dog’s face. Scratch the dog’s neck, do not place your
face in the dog’s face, or ask the owner how their pet
likes to be touched.
Teaching your children about dogs may save your child
from a nasty bite or worse. Any animal bite should be reported to the authorities. By being smart with dogs and
children we also create an atmosphere where our beloved dogs are welcome and accepted in the community.

TOT TIME
REGISTRY
The House Sitting Registry matches home owners looking
for a house sitter with those wishing to offer house sitting
services. 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.
This registry service is free of charge and only available
to Parkland residences. To have your name included in
the registry or to obtain a number of a sitter near you,
please phone Dave Wiebe at 403-271-9230.

PARK 96
PARKLAND TENNIS
Building Tennis Communities
What is Building Tennis Communities (BTC)?
Building Tennis Communities is a program that was developed by Tennis Canada in 2001 in response to a study
indicating that most tennis was played on city or public
courts in the summer. The study also showed participation in tennis was declining due to the club based delivery system. Building Tennis Communities strives to promote tennis in neighbourhoods across Canada. All 10
Provincial Tennis Associations (including Tennis Alberta)
are also involved with the Building Tennis Communities
Strategy. The mandate is to increase and sustain tennis
participation so that tennis can help build healthy and
active communities.
Park 96 was recently selected as one of the neighbourhoods in Calgary to implement Tennis Canada’s program. Park 96 is now a BTC!! Our goal is to increase participation in tennis programs for all ages.
What is Progressive Tennis?
Progressive tennis introduces tennis in a fun and interactive way ensuring immediate success for young
players. Using modified balls, racquets, nets and courts
which are better suited to their size, young players are
equipped to enjoy rallies and learn the fundamentals
of the sport. Children learn skills quickly allowing for an
easy transition to full court.
Please consider signing up for the Spring Tennis program at Park96. For more information please call the
office (403-271-7516) or check out the park website
(www.park96.com).
If you are interested in volunteering for the Parkland
BTC or if your group or organization is interested in a
tennis activity please contact Sheralee Hancherow at
(403) 225-4002 or Mary Ronan at (403) 271-4378.

As a thank you, volunteers receive a weekend pass to
SummerFest along with a food and beverage ticket.
Volunteering at SummerFest is a fun way to get to know
your neighbours and make new friends.
If you are interested in volunteering for Summerfest
please email volunteers@park96.com put “SummerFest
Volunteer” in the subject line. Please provide your name

NEW GATE
Some of you may have noticed the new gate that has
been designed, built and installed at the front of Park
96. A huge thank you to everyone who has helped with
all aspects of making this happen.
BIKE AND SPORT SWAP – THANK YOU
Thank you to all who participated in the Bike/Sport
Swap Sale. Approximately 75 people came out to sell
or buy equipment. Other "thank yous" go to Rich Smart
for greeting everyone and for helping out. Michelle Nay
and Mary Ronan did an excellent job with the tennis activity. Also a big thank you to Park 96 staff.
Thank you to Two Wheel View for being involved again this
year, especially Laura Istead and to the handy volunteer
mechanic, Sébastien Clément. We happily donated 10
bikes to their organization for their Earn a Bike Program.
Congratulations to McKinnon Wiebe for being the winner of the $50 Sportchek gift card!
PARK 96 UPCOMING EVENTS AND PROGRAMS
Park 96 is taking steps towards going green and one of
the first steps is to eliminate the amount of paper that is
used for advertising of Park 96 events and programs. We
are working with the local schools by having them post
flyers on their website about the upcoming events. The
other delivery method would be to send out emails to
all residents of Parkland as opposed to delivering flyers
to all homes. If you would like to receive updates from
Park 96, please send an email with your name, address
and email preference to park96@telus.net – then stay
tuned for updates!
VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED AT PARK96
Do you want to get more involved in your community?
If you answered yes, then Park96 is always looking for
volunteers to help run the various programs, events,
pub nights etc that are held at the park. If you are interested in volunteering, please call the Park Office @ 403271-7516 or email volunteers@park96.com if you have
any suggestions as to different programs, events or pub
nights that could be held at Park96 to discuss the details.
PARK 96 IS 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 and MasterCard. There
will be a 3% service fee applied to total sale when using
credit cards.
GENERAL PARK USE
If you plan to bring more than 10 people to the 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 in good standing and their invited guests as well

Welcome/Bienvenue to École St. Matthew School
May and June has been a couple of very busy months at
École St. Matthew School! In May, our students participated in Badminton and Flag football competitive teams and
were very successful! We thank our dedicated coaches
for all their time and dedication to our intensive Athletics
program this year. As teachers are preparing for PAT’s and
field testing, final exams and finishing up remaining units
in class, our hard-working students are sure dedicated to
their studies! Gr. 6 and Gr. 9 had their year-end retreats, as
we welcome our Gr. 6’s into Junior high and say farewell
to our Gr. 9’s registered in high school. Shave Your Lid for
a Kid on May 30th had 42 brave participants shaving their
heads to raise money for Kids Cancer Care. June is filled
with fun and educational field trips for our K-9 classes as
the year comes to a close. Together we will celebrate the
year as we celebrate with a mass at St. Cecilia’s church,
host an Awards ceremony of excellence and celebrate our
gifts in our Annual Talent Show! This has been an incredibly rewarding year for all teachers and staff. We wish best
of luck to our Gr. 9’s and we look forward to another exciting year at École St. Matthew School!
ECOLE SAM LIVINGSTON
It is hard to believe that another school year is wrapping
up. Students at Ecole Sam Livingston have successfully
participated in many engaging learning activities. They
are finishing off the year with a variety of events. Kindergarten students will be attending programs at the
Leighton Centre, while Grade 3 students are completing provincial achievement tests. Our Grade 4 students
will be busy with year-end activities while preparing to
graduate from Sam Livingston and move on to other

Parent Council is also putting finishing touches on a
successful year. Parents are encouraged to attend the
final Council meeting on June 13. Volunteers have organized wonderful events – Trickster and other residencies, French Cultural events, creative fund-raisers, Family

must go out to our amazing students, teachers, staff,
parent council, and volunteers for making Sam Livingston School a fantastic place to learn grow.
ST PHILIP FINE ARTS SCHOOL
We are nearing the completion of our Fence Art Project
and on behalf of the Fence Art Committee we want to
thank all of our amazing volunteers for the many hours
they have donated to this project. The project began
with the theme of Art in our World. There was then a callout to students to submit their design ideas. The selection process was very difficult. Once the designs were
chosen they were reproduced on transparencies to be
traced onto the wood. They were then sent out to be
primed and cut out. Once the shapes were cut out a team
of grade 5 and 6 students began the creative process of
choosing colors and painting. Once the painting was
completed they were sent out to be varnished. Now the
beautiful art creations are being mounted on the chain
link fence surrounding our school for all to enjoy and celebrate the fine arts at St. Philip. Father Wilbert blessed all
of us and our efforts at a dedication ceremony on Friday,
April 27th. We celebrated in prayer, music and song.
This project has been a massive undertaking but so very
worth the effort. As a school we would like to thank the
following people:
The Herasymiuk family for priming, cutting and varnishing ALL of the pieces of art
The Bojakli family for materials
The Chiocchio family for a cash donation
Mrs. Molina, Mrs. Cartin, Mrs. Tremblay and Mr. Langille
for their leadership
Mr. Hill and Mr. Stevenson for installing the art work

Dust off your bicycles, tune up your gears, and shine
your bells Calgary!
June will see the second incarnation of one of Calgary’s
newest festivals: Cyclepalooza. Local grassroots initiatives, non-profit organizations, bicycle stores and related businesses in Calgary collaborate on this initiative to
bring “ten days of bike fun” to Calgary. The festival will
be held from June 23 to July 2, 2012.
Cyclepalooza is a ten-day volunteer-directed, communitybased, do-it-yourself bicycle festival modelled after
Portland’s Pedalpalooza and Vancouver’s Velopalooza. It
promotes the arts, culture, community, and fun in Calgary. It is fuelled by the desire to bring more publicity
and interest to cycling and its positive impacts on communities, and to bring people together through cycling.
Cyclepalooza’s aim is to celebrate the unique feeling
and kinship that comes from cycling in your community. Anyone, whether it’s a business, an organization, a
church, a rock band, a group of friends or an enterprising individual can be part of Cyclepalooza. All it takes
is an idea for an event that has to do with or happens
on bicycles. It can be as simple as a ride to the park
with a picnic, or as elaborate as a bicycle prom or a
bicycle-themed art exhibition. The online calendar at
cyclepalooza.ca is open to anyone to advertise their
events. With dozens of events organized by the community, those ten days in June will turn Calgary into a
burst of cycling activity.

HOME GARDENING WITH BARBARA by Barbara Shorrock
No Work Garden
Have you ever bought a book because the title was so
catchy you couldn’t resist? My latest indulgence is No
Work Garden by Bob Flowerdew. How can you pass up
a title like that? Although he is a Brit writing for English
gardeners, there is plenty of good stuff in here that will
work for us in our Canadian prairie/Chinook region.
He covers such topics as “Ways to Save Work”, “Effortless Weed Control”, “No More Digging”, “Saving Effort
in Flower Gardens”, and “Grow More Vegetable for Less
Work”. There are many techniques that can be incorporated into our local gardens; maybe some of them will
work for you. First of all, while it is true that the more you
put in, the more you should get out, you must also ask:
Is it worth it? If you have a good strong back (or access
to someone else’s) then go ahead and dig your flower
and vegetable beds. According to Bob’s research, the
increase in crops in any year from digging is much less
than the increase from adding more water. Rotate your
crops (carrots here one year, peas and beans the next),
cover with mulch, compost regularly, and the health of
the soil will look after itself without annual turning over.
When planting seeds, you don’t need a fine tilth over
the whole bed; a spot the size of a coin every foot or
so will do. If you raise your beds and walk on the paths
between, they will not become compacted by your
feet. Raising the beds means less bending for us, and
it’s also good for the plants. The beds warm quicker in
the spring and the plants’ roots are less likely to become
waterlogged in wet times. Conversely, drying out can

become a problem, which is best prevented with seep
hose irrigation rather than overhead sprinkling. If you
must water your beds with a sprinkler, do so in the early
morning, so the sun can do its work before evening.
One of my favorite chapters was on Paths and Edges.
While grass looks best between flower beds, it does take
work to look after, and is time consuming if it is narrow
and has lots of edges. Furthermore, it encourages slugs.
Stepping stones or slab paths are almost maintenance
free. They are quickly and simply laid on a bed of sand
and can be moved if your plans change. Wooden edging rots too soon. Plastic and metal edgings rarely look
good or last well. Worst of all are upturned bricks or tiles,
which are a haven for pests and weeds and don’t allow
a mower to cut over them safely. A row of bricks or cobblestones laid tightly along the edge of the grass/flowerbed border at ground level allows the wheel of the
lawn mower to run along neatly with never a need for
the edger again (Sorry, that last statement is not quite
true. The grass will creep over the bricks eventually, but
a trim every couple of years isn’t arduous.) It takes a bit
of labour to install, but is a great example of “Short term
pain for long term gain”.
There is an abundance of practical advice in this little
book. Perhaps it would make a good addition to your personal library. By the time you read this in June, our spring
gardening frenzy will be well under way. Six months in
the garden – my favorite way to spend the summer.

GET
TRICO-ACTIVE
THIS SPRING
Do you have more “spring” in your step at this time of the
year? It’s hard not to when the weather gets warm. It is
motivating to see people out walking, jogging and bike
riding. If you haven’t done a lot of physical activity over
the winter, start slowly. Warm your body up to the idea
of exercise. Try a light work-out then see how your body
feels the next day. Learn to listen to your body and it will
tell you if you are working at a good level of exertion.
Self-monitoring how hard your body is working can help
you adjust the intensity of the activity by speeding up or
slowing down your movements. You need to challenge
your body, at least a bit, to get results. You have to find
the right pace for you, a pace that challenges but remains
fun. Be realistic…we are all different. Don’t try to keep up
with someone else. Be proud of what you can do and the
fact that you are committed to improving your health.
In the spring, a lot of people are motivated to get active, because they want to look good in their summer
clothes: tank tops, shorts and bathing suits. Yes, exercise will improve your self esteem and will make you
look and feel great. Remember though, that the vast
majority of the population does not have a perfect
body. Exercise for fun and fitness, not only to burn
calories. Wear what you want today and feel good
about yourself.
Don’t forget about the “fun” part enough either. If
you want to lead a healthy active lifestyle for the rest
of your days, you will have a tough time sticking with
it if you don’t find an activity that you enjoy and that
works with your schedule. If you are new to exercise,
try a group activity with people who share the same
interests: Pilates, Yoga, Core, Bootcamps, Aquacize….
Also, schedule activity to benefit your body, mind, and
spirit into your weekly routine, then it just becomes a
good habit.

WRITE ON PREPPING YOUR
BBQ FOR SUMMER
Lon Hofer
A favorite thing to do at any time of year, especially
summer, is eat. Nothing is better in the summer than
a plate of barbecued hamburgers, steaks, or chicken
skewers, complimented with a good salad and baked
potato. However the accurate cooking and taste of
these foods can be affected by a built up grill, dirty coals /
rocks, or clogged burners.
Cleaning your barbecue is easy, but it can also be
made easier by following a couple of preventative
actions during the summer:
• Seasoning your grill – Remove your grill, wash it with
soapy water, rinse it, dry it (not drip dry), and apply
vegetable or olive oil. Put it back in the barbecue,
turn on high for 10 minutes and back to medium
heat for 20-30 minutes. Your grill will last longer and
your food will stick less. You can apply oil prior to
cooking each time, with the barbecue off (especially
if using aerosol spray).
• Cleaning your grill AFTER you cook – The best time
for you to use your wire brush is after you have
cooked, while the grill is still hot, so your food debris
removes effortlessly and without taking any of the
grill with it.
• Cleaning the inside of barbecue:
• Clean the grill as per above, and remove any ashes
from the rocks and keep them in a coffee tin. Use
them in your garden if you need to keep slugs away.
You can wipe the barbecue’s cover but don’t use
chemicals, and it’s not going to affect the barbecue’s
performance so do this as you wish.
• Cleaning the outside of barbecue:
• Simply use hot, mildly soapy water, with a rag, and
be sure to rinse it well and dry it. Place in the sun
to complete the drying. If your burner is operating
unevenly, search online for ‘how to unclog a grill

ALDERMAN, WARD 14
PETER DEMONG
www.peterdemong.ca
Ward14@calgary.ca or 403 268-1653
I hope this column finds you sitting outside on a sunny June day
with your choice of cold beverage in hand. I think all of us deserve some extra summer considering how hard we work during the deep freeze of winter. Calgarians have been enjoying the
Stampede for 100 years now, so even if summer doesn’t arrive
when it should, you’ll soon have an extra reason to get out and
celebrate anyway. It will be an enormous milestone for a truly
world class event. I urge everyone to join in this year’s festivities.
Calgary is a big city now –big cities have big celebrations and
they also have lots of pavement. The effort to clean up and
maintain Calgary’s thousands of kilometers of streets and alleys
is now well underway. With all of that work to be done, city staff
must focus their efforts in critical areas. I have heard questions
from many of you over the spring, asking if your paved back alley will be swept. The answer is that once those critical areas are
done (by July, weather permitting), City staff will get down to
sweeping other areas. BUT, if you would like to have your paved
alley swept, you must call in a request to 3-1-1. If you have an unpaved alley, http://ow.ly/avV7F is a useful link. Similarly, the City
will be re-painting the lines on our streets this summer. For most
of Ward 14, this is scheduled to have been finished by the end of
May (with the exception of Silverado, which is scheduled for August), so if you feel that there have been any major omissions, I
urge you to contact 3-1-1. The same thing goes for potholes, and
you can also check out this link - http://ow.ly/aunxm. Finally, the
first of hopefully many solar powered crosswalk signals in Ward
14 is up and running at Sun Valley Boulevard and Sun Harbour
Road SE. I put forth an application to council proposing the pilot
project for these solar powered lights on June 20th, 2011. There
are several different versions around the city, and the Roads Department is looking for feedback on the project. You can learn
more and make comments at http://ow.ly/avOYg, or call 3-1-1 to
make comments as well.
Speaking of 3-1-1, here’s a treat for anyone who loves a good
bar graph…
This graph gives a breakdown of the number of service requests made to 3-1-1 in Ward 14 communities for the month
of March. Out of all 14 wards for that month, Ward 14 had the
third fewest number of requests with 1,868.
There are a couple of events on the horizon that I want to share.
On June 25th a lucky class from Ward 14 will be introduced in a
Regular Meeting of Council because of the political acumen,
and literary prowess of one of its students. In May, I asked
Ward 14 schools to pose an essay question to their Grade Six
students. I (and my team of judges) will be choosing the best
from the best of each class. The question was How does Municipal Government affect Me? Stay tuned, because the winner
will be posted on www.peterdemong.ca, and please consider
saving some time on the morning of September 22 to join me
at my annual pancake breakfast. The goal of the breakfast is
to increase membership registrations for Ward 14’s community
associations.
ALDERTALK is on June 16th at the Willow Ridge Community
Centre (680 Acadia Dr. SE) from noon to 2pm, so come out and
have your say. Otherwise, you can always contact me at (403)
268-1653 or by email at eaward14@calgary.ca. My team has
also been working hard on a brand new Facebook fan page
for me that you should take a look at (and hit the “like” button if you want to follow). That can be found at http://www.
