By Lynn Flieger Countryman“It’s the ability to take a joke not make one that proves you have a sense of humor.”
Max Eastman, author
It is thought that the name April comes from the Latin word “to open”, and is believed to have been used to describe the opening of the trees that happens during springtime. The professional baseball season opens in the United States. National monthly observances during April include National Humor Month, Mathematics Awareness and Tax Day. Square Root Day is an unofficial holiday that occurs when the month and day are square roots of the last two digits of the year. For example, Square Root Day is on 4/4/16 this year. For math buffs, it will be the first meeting of Opening Day of baseball and Square Root Day, as the opening day 1916 season was on April 12. Go figure.
The spring cleanup started off well, as JBK picked up pine needles and broken branches around the common areas. The City of Centennial will commence street sweeping on May 2-3 in the Willow Creek 3 area.
Mike Morgan and Dave Jackson from WCII presented a detailed presentation at the March homeowners meeting. They outlined the necessary steps and options for replacing the perimeter fences in Willow Creek. They propose forming a Willow Creek Joint Fence Committee. The Board will continue to work with WC II and I throughout the process.
Kay Robst, designer of the newly renovated clubhouse is seeking photographs of Willow Creek III to be incorporated into the final décor. This could include vintage photographs, family, friends and community memories participating in swimming, tennis, and fundraiser events…. For information, please contact Kay Robst at [email protected]

Centennial Street Sweeping
Monday, May 2nd and Tuesday, May 3rd 2016
www.centennialco.gov/Public-Works/street-sweeping.aspx
Street sweeping is scheduled throughout the year for the entire City, except during the winter season. Sweeping typically begins in April and continues into October. Sweeping will not occur on weekends or holidays. The dates shown are subject to change. Please make sure vehicles are not parked on the street so the gutters may be completely cleaned.
We Need Your Help• If possible, please move cars off the street during the dates that your street is scheduled for sweeping, therefore, we can sweep the entire curb along your house.• Raking or blowing leaves into the street is not allowed by the City. The street sweepers will sweep around piles or a row of leaves in the street.• Please trim your trees and shrubs to a height of 12 feet above the curb to avoid damaging our equipment. The street sweepers will sweep around low hanging branches.• Please trim your shrubs and vegetation back from the curb. The street sweepers will sweep around vegetation that overhangs the curb and is in the gutter area.

TLC Meals on Wheels- Driving Away Hunger
TLC Meals on Wheels promotes dignity, well being, and independence for those whose age or disability makes it difficult for them to provide their own balanced nutrition. Monday through Friday our volunteers deliver nutritious, freshly made hot meal at lunch, helping those in need stay in the security and comfort of their own home. For many of our clients, our volunteer delivery drivers are the only personal contact they have on a daily basis. In short, we address both hunger for food and hunger for personal contact.
And it’s not just our clients who benefit. Volunteers find the relationships they develop with our clients and the difference they make in the lives of those they serve very fulfilling. Our volunteers, many of whom have been with our program for years, serve in a variety of roles, from delivering meals, to working in the kitchen and helping out in the office.
Would you or someone you know benefit from our weekday meal service? Or would you like to volunteer and experience firsthand the joy a meal and a smile can bring? If so, please contact TLC Meals on Wheels at 303-798-7642 or visit our website at www.TLCMealsonWheels.org
Community Initiative
In 2009, the Willow Creek Tennis Club established a Living Memorial Fund so that a Pink Rose Garden could be planted in Willow Creek honoring those affected by breast cancer.
The response from the Willow Creek community was heartwarming. Contributions in 2009 - 2010 made it possible to establish two gardens for the enjoyment of caring Willow Creek residents and visitors. The first garden, located between the two banks of tennis courts, at the Willow Creek II Clubhouse, was planted in the spring of 2010 where 29 rose bushes have thrived and bloomed continuously throughout the season.
A dedicated second garden was planned for the grounds of Willow Creek III with a ‘Memorial Stone’ as the initial landmark. However, a dedicated site has yet to be determined.
The Willow Creek Garden Club graciously accepted the engraved Memorial Stone and it has recently been relocated to the first garden along with a donor plaque. The landmark stone is appropriately scripted…
Living Memorial Rose Garden
“Here is the deepest secret nobody knows.Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life;Which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide.
And this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart.I carry your heart.
I carry it in my heart.”E.E. Cummings
This beautiful, peaceful garden is a place to linger... to honor and remember the women and men of our community who have bravely battled breast cancer.
This garden is a living tribute to those who have left us too soon and to those who continue to fight. We carry you in our hearts.
Reminder, the townhouse alleyways are not for parking. Please do not park any vehicle or have any contractor park their vehicle in the alleyways at any time. The only exception is for short term loading and unloading.

CCSD Board Of Education Hears Election Recommendation
Excellence in the Cherry Creek School District has always been a moving target -- and it always moves up. It’s a standard that shifts with the advent of new technology and the changing demands of our increasingly connected world. In the coming decades, excellence will mean connecting students with a brand new level of technology, innovation and preparation for the demands of the 21st century.
Members of the Cherry Creek Board of Education got a glimpse into that future during their regular meeting on March 14, as district officials presented the budget, bond and innovation recommendation. The presentation detailed the district’s anticipated facility, budget and programmatic needs through the year 2021, offering a framework for a budget and bond election that would go to the voters in November.
CCSD Named Stem District of Distinction
The Cherry Creek School District has been named a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) District of Distinction and recognized for “Innovative STEM Teaching and Learning” by District Administration Magazine.

Snow Mold on Lawns – Causes and Remedies
Prolonged snow cover on lawns may cause snow mold. Though snow mold is common in mountain areas, it is less common here on the Front Range. It is most likely to occur on lawns which have been covered in snow continuously for 40-60 days – here in Willow Creek if that occurs at all it is usually in shady areas only. It can also be found in areas where a mat of tree leaves on the turf has been left in the fall.
Snow mold is caused by a fungus which likes cold, dark, and moist conditions. To help avoid snow mold, pick up or mulch your leaves in the fall, and don’t shovel snow into large piles in shady areas.
Snow mold manifests itself as a white or light grey discoloration of the blades of grass. The good news is that in Colorado it rarely kills the grass. If you have snow mold, the grass usually recovers quickly when warm weather hits. You can hasten the recovery by a light raking with a leaf rake to lift up the matted grass. Application of an anti-fungal agent is seldom necessary.
