#1 Junior Squash Ranking 

Calgary Winter Club Junior Squash player, 

Noel Heaton has moved into the number 

one raking in Canada for the boys under 

13 age group. Noel has been working very 

hard this past year to improve his game 

and move up the rankings. Noel has the 

fortunate opportunity to compete against 

other Club Members that are also ranked in 

the top ten in the Country. Noel competed 

in the British Junior Open and the Scottish 

Junior Open where he finished in 4th 

position. Keep up the great work Noel!

Julia Batycky and Stephanie Wallace, two of the Calgary Winter Club’s 

talented Sea Sprites, competed at the Annual Alberta Winter Games in 

Edmonton on February 11th and 12th! Julie and Stephanie finished in 

2nd place in a very tough field that featured young swimmers from all 

over the Province. Way to go Girls! 

Skating in the Alberta Winter Games 

13 year old, Calgary Winter Club Member Jaeden Blewett recently

Free Skate Event in Edmonton. Jaeden was very excited for the 

opportunity and competed very hard in a very tough field that 

featured young skaters from all over the province. Jaeden was

Welcome to another edition of the Club News. I expect that many of you have noticed the progress on our expansion with our 

building envelope beginning to be installed leading to the main expansion structure which will soon be closed in from the elements. 

We have been fortunate to enjoy one of the warmest winters on record for the City of Calgary, which has assisted with 

construction. Once the building is closed in, construction and finishing of the interior will continue. The good weather has helped to 

keep our project on pace for our planned grand re-opening this fall and has also allowed us to remain within our financial parameters. 

As previously indicated, we expect to deliver the additional 86,000 square feet of space to our Membership with no special 

assessments or dues increases beyond normal inflationary amounts. 

We were very pleased to be able to welcome our curlers and skaters back to the Club with the return of ice to both venues being 

achieved at the start of January. There is a renewed energy in the Club with the return of these activities and we would like to thank 

all of our curlers and skaters for their patience and understanding through the fall. A special thank you also goes out to our ice crew; 

Rob Hawley, Jorge da Silva, and Shane Fortier who sacrificed significant time and energy over the Christmas season to restore the 

two venues. The ice crew, maintenance, and housekeeping teams have all done exceptional work in dealing with the challenges 

presented by the Expansion. 

Over the past year, your Board of Directors and Club Management Team have had a specific focus on improving the communications 

within the Club and ensuring that all Members are reminded that this is your Club and that your voice can always be heard. We have 

a great Club with active families and Members and your feedback is required and encouraged in relation to our regular programs, 

operations, and Member experiences. As we complete and then integrate the new components of our expansion we will be enjoying 

new programs and services and Member input and comments will assist with the success of these additions. 

Our CEO Kevin Boyles has just completed his first full year at the Club and has made a commitment to the timely response to all 

Member inquiries and issues. It may not always be possible to meet every request, but your feedback is always appreciated and 

valued. We have received comments from some of our members indicating that they are not sure how to provide feedback both 

positive and negative to our Management Team and our Board of Directors and in response to these requests, the article on Page 11 

provides a breakdown of Club Communications and details “how your voice can be heard”. 

I would like to draw your attention to some of the goals and initiatives that are being pursued to facilitate exceptional Member 

communications; 

1. A response within 24 hours for all e-mails and phone messages left with the Club’s CEO. 

2. Response from the appropriate Department Manager within one week for all comment cards and on-line feedback submissions 

(when a response is requested). 

3. The creation of a Board Communications Committee that is working with Management to review and improve all of our systems 

and methods of communication. 

4. A commitment from Club Management to provide timely and complete information regarding all potential issues and challenges 

that Members may encounter. For example, advanced notification of potential parking constraints and construction impacts.

President’s Message Continued from page 3... 

We are committed to keeping you informed of all important issues, even when the 

news might not be positive. I hope that you will find that our Club is becoming a much 

more open and barrier free environment that we can all enjoy to the fullest. 

As you read this message, the Club will have initiated Sunday afternoon “Member 

Hard-hat Tours” of the Expansion site. Please feel welcome to take advantage of this 

opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at the exciting new facilities that are on the 

way. 

Construction has progressed to a level that you can now see the location, size and 

shape of some of our new areas such as the expanded fitness area, new studio rooms, 

the center court – multi-purpose gymnasium, gymnastics centre, climbing wall area 

and if access permits the 3rd level walking/jogging track and the amazing views from 

this level. 

These are exciting times for our Club and despite the challenges and inconveniences 

we as Members occasionally encounter, we are fortunate to have an outstanding 

Management Team and committed Board that are here for our Membership and who 

all appreciate and value your participation and feedback. We look forward to 

continuing to improve our Club, our communications and the CWC Membership 

experience.

keeping this a safe place for them to work and play. Please 

ensure that any food is cleaned from your child’s face and 

hands before bringing them in. Please do not bring food of 

any kind into the childcare or childcare waitroom. Our staff 

will be throwing out any food that is in our area. We 

acknowledge that you are often in a hurry, but we ask that 

you make the time to finish all snacks before coming through 

the door.

Please ensure that all belongings brought into the childcare 

are clearly labeled. Many of the children who use the 

childcare have similar looking jackets and boots. It is very 

easy for a child to pick up the wrong coat so please label 

coats. This way your child can learn to check for their own 

label and if the wrong coat/boot is taken we will have your 

name on the one that is left so we can get them switched.

This is the seventh formal Expansion 

Update and we will continue to 

provide updates until the project 

is completed in the fall of 2012. 

Be sure to have your email registered 

with the Club to receive timely 

information and important member 

construction alerts. 

There has been a significant amount of 

progress over the last two months and 

we have enjoyed favorable weather 

this winter that has helped to move 

the project forward. Some of the 

milestones that have been achieved 

since the new year include: 

1. The Curling Centre and the 

Skating Rink reopened at the Club 

on January 6th. 

Pool Policy 

Expansion U pdatEs - U pdatE #7 

2. Administration moved back into 

their former office in early February. 

3. The 55 plus area has been returned to 

that group for their programming. 

4. The main east expansion is 

substantially enclosed. 

5. The floors in the east expansion 

have all been poured and finishing 

work has begun. 

We are also expecting the delivery of the 

new climbing wall system at the end of 

February and the installation of the 

various components over the following 

three weeks. The climbing wall system, 

called Clip N Climb, will be a high light of 

the new area and everyone is excited to 

see it moving into place. 

The installation of the windows for the 

main building will be happening very 

shortly and this will allow the project 

to be completely closed in. At this point 

weather will no longer be a factor in 

completing the building. 

If you would like to have a preview peak 

at the project while under construction, 

there are now Sunday tours being 

organized by the Club. If you would like 

to book a tour email Kyle McNichol at 

kylem@calgarywinterclub.com. 

We would like to thank all Members 

for their patience during construction, 

particularly during the winter months, 

which are the highest Club usage 

periods of the year.

As the result of Member feedback, and to ensure that we maximize the utilization of our pools to the 

benefit of all Members, we will be introducing (on a trial basis) the following new policies for pool bookings; 

• In the event that any particular pool booking time will not be utilized, the person responsible for that 

program or event is required to notify the aquatics office at least 24 hours prior to the booking. 

• Unless 24 hour notice of a late-start has been provided to the Aquatics Office, all “no-show” bookings 

will be cancelled exactly 15 minutes after the start of the booking, and the pool/lanes will be made 

available for alternative use as per Member demand. 

Our hope is that these policies will reduce the occurrences 

of unutilized pool bookings, which are frustrating for both 

Members and Aquatics Staff. Club Management would 

prefer to provide the greatest opportunities possible for the 

use and enjoyment of our Aquatics Centre.

JuVENILE/BANtAm prEpLAydoWN BoNSpIEL rESuLtS 

This season we had a fantastic turn out to the Preplaydown 

Bonspiel! Twenty teams turned up to play off for $2800 in 

cash prizes. 

This event is held prior to District Playdowns and is run like 

a playdown to give inexperienced teams the opportunity to 

experience the playdown format. 

This year’s event was held January 7 & 8, with 20 of 

Southern Alberta’s best juvenile (17 years of age and under as 

of December 31 st ) and Bantam (14 years of age and under as 

of December 31 st ) teams. Teams were also treated to a 

fascinating session about icemaking and rocks. 

The Calgary Winter Club’s very own Spencer Higgs team 

won the A Event in the Juvenile division. The team consists 

of skip Spencer Higgs, third Tyler Lautner, second Mark 

Taylor, lead Ben Budzey, and coach Doug Higgs. They beat 

out team Rylan Gray in the A final. 

Team Owen Goerzen won the B final against the Brita Berger 

team. The C Event was clinched by the Matt Romero team 

who beat out Calgary Winter Club Team Yablonski, with 

skip Tianna Yablonski, third Megan Lucier, second Haley 

Mueller, lead Zoe Cascadden, and coach Paul Lucier. 

The D Event was won by the Mitchell Prince Team. 

In the bantam division the Andrew Hodgson won the A Event 

against the Braden Burton team. Team Riley Helston beat out 

the Ben Evans rink to seize the B Event title. In the C Event 

the Alexa Dixon team beat out the Jamie Dang team. Team 

Scott Thurston won the D Event. 

CALgAry LAdIES opEN CurLINg BoNSpIEL 

There were 3 CWC teams in the bonspiel this year. The 

Ewanchuk team won the A Event and the other two teams 

enjoyed playing! The skips were Donna Guglielman and 

Barb McDonald. The winning team was Michelle 

Ewanchuk, Audrey Buchanan, Jennifer Scott and Joanne 

Godziuk. Next year it will be held at the Calgary Curling 

Club in late January. 

SNoWy oWL CurLINg LEAguE 

One of Calgary’s largest senior curling leagues continues to 

thrive at the Calgary Winter Club. Teams may consist of any 

combination of either gender and play games from 

Thanksgiving to late March on Tuesdays and Thursdays with

A mESSAgE from thE dIrECtor 

As we head into spring it is 

important that everyone 

review their goals and map 

out their next few action 

steps. I am not only speaking 

to the skaters but to every 

parent, grandparent and 

anyone interested in becoming 

“better everyday” at whatever you like to do. It is 

important that we set SMART goals. By smart I mean: 

Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. 

Statistics show that your chance of attaining your goals rises 

drastically if you write them down on paper and review them 

daily, perhaps even reading them out loud. So grab a pen and 

paper and write those goals down!

rEmINdEr to ALL mEmBErS

SKAtEr of thE moNth – dECEmBEr 

Congratulations to Emilie Boras, skater of the month for 

December. She asked to skate more for her Christmas present 

and so is now adding another day to her training schedule. 

Emilie works hard, listens well and asks questions to clarify 

things. She continually works to push past her comfort zones; 

well done Emilie! 

SKAtEr of thE moNth – JANuAry 

Sara Callaway recently passed her Senior Silver Skills and 

Senior Silver Dance tests which means she is now working on 

both gold tests. Sara has been working diligently on polishing 

her Freeskate program now with a consistent double slachow. 

She will compete at the Winsport competition in the Jr Bronze 

ladies event on the family day long weekend. Sara is also 

excited to begin choreography on her new interpretive 

program with music selection from Mamma Mia! Great work 

Sara in all disciplines of your skating, we are proud of you! 

CoAChES tIp 

Linda Higgins – Artistic Coordinator / Skating Professional 

It is important for parents to be involved as supporters and 

fans, but does not necessarily mean they need to be at the rink 

for every training session. By allowing the athlete time away 

to gain independence, the youngster learns to pay attention 

to timelines, equipment and individual practice duties. It is 

recommended that parents rather, pop in to check on the odd 

practice making more notice of the growth and development, 

as well as show the skaters their interest in the activity.

AquAfIt updAtE 

No Aquafit Classes are running on Easter Weekend: 

Friday April 6 th and Sunday April 8 th 

Zumba: classes registered, best value or coupons maybe used 

starting in March! 

Reminder coupons maybe used for all aquafit classes now 

except Water running Wednesday night 7:05 - 8:00 pm! That 

class is registered only due to pool space. 

Exercising in the pool is a great way to add variety to your 

fitness routine. Improved muscle tone and cardiovascular 

fitness are just two of the many benefits you will gain from 

putting on your swimsuit and jumping into the water. 

Aquafit offers an amazing low-impact, head-to-toe workout 

for beginners or seasoned exercisers. It’s also great for people 

who are recovering from knee or other injuries. 

BuoyANCy hAS ItS BENEfItS 

Neck-deep water supports 

90 percent of your body 

weight and relieves stress on 

knee and hip joints. Pressure 

is released when a joint is 

submerged in water, 

encouraging freedom of 

movement through its full 

range of motion. 

That makes aquatic 

exercise the ideal choice for 

those with arthritis or other chronic problems. The buoyancy 

of water also provides support for older individuals, 

decreasing the risk of injury due to falling. 

Putting up resistance 

The other interesting thing about water is that it provides 

resistance in multiple directions, with hydrostatic pressure 

exerted equally on all surfaces of the body. Movement in 

any side-to-side or forward-backward direction meets equal 

resistance, so that opposing muscle groups work equally. This 

means that the muscles in the front of the leg work when the 

leg is lifted forward and the muscles in the back of the leg 

work when the leg is lifted behind. 

As a result you burn more calories when exercising in the 

water compared to exercising on land. A one-hour aquafit 

class burns nearly 400 calories, comparable to jogging at a 

pace of six to eight minutes per kilometre for the same length 

of time. 

The next time you’re at the pool, try a deep-water workout or 

sign up for an aquafit exercise class at your local swimming 

pool.

hoW to SELECt thE rIght goggLES 

Well chosen goggles can give you clear dry vision in the water. 

A good fit comes from goggles that offer both a water tight seal 

and comfortable fit. 

the shape 

Goggles are designed to fit either “oval” or “round” shaped eye 

sockets. Try to determine what shape is your eye. If the hard 

bones around the inner corner of your eye form a narrow angle, 

you have an oval eye socket. If the angle is fairly broad you 

have a round eye socket. Oval goggles are smaller and shorter 

and tend to fit in the eye socket. Round goggles are larger and 

wider and tend to fit over the eye socket. Select the best shape 

for your eyes. 

the seal 

Both oval and round goggles come with either foam or a 

polyseal gasket material. Foam gaskets produce a pressure type 

seal, which is maintain by the strap. Polyseal gaskets produce 

a suction type seal and fit inside the socket. Try both types to 

see what works best for you. The final fit factor is the nose 

bridge. Some bridges are adjustable, some are not. Ensure the 

nose bridge on your final goggle choice suits nose and distance 

between your eyes. 

test the goggle seal 

The three main areas that cause leakage are: the corner of your 

eyes near the bridge of your nose, the depression between your 

cheekbone and nose along the bottom of your eye, and the outer 

corner of your eyes. 

Without using the straps gently press the goggles up to your 

eyes - ensure that you feel a bit of suction. Now try the goggles 

on with strap. Is the nose bridge and overall fit comfortable? 

Open your mouth and move jaw side to side; check for suction, 

air spaces and snug fit. 

When you find a perfect pair you just need to take extra care of 

your goggles so they can last a long time: 

• rinse gently in cold water after each use 

• let them air dry naturally 

• do not rub inside of your lenses 

• keep them from dirt and grease 

• remove them properly: hold onto the eyepiece and take the 

strap first then let goggles fall off your face 

• store them in protective packaging 

• do not leave them exposed to the sun or heat.

international experience 

December is a busy month for top junior squash players with 

several international level events to choose from. First on the 

calendar is the Canadian Junior Open, an event traditionally 

held in Niagara ON and attracting top players from Canada 

and the US as well as many top juniors from South America. 

The Winter Club was well represented with 5 of our juniors 

travelling for the event, all gaining valuable experience. Next 

up was the US junior open, a true juggernaut of an event. 

With over 750 juniors from all around the globe this is now 

the largest individual junior event on the planet. The standard 

is extremely high in all categories. All of our juniors played 

well and learned from the experience, not least that there is a 

whole world of squash outside of Alberta.

Glencoe Junior Open 

The Glencoe hosted their annual junior tournament in late 

January. 81 juniors, mainly from around Alberta, attended 

the weekend. As always our juniors entered the event in large 

numbers making up one third of the total entries. 

Congratulations to Graham Kerford and Evelyn 

Moorhouse who dominated their events winning both. And 

also to Brett Schille who won the boys U15 title, an event 

which saw the Winter Club take places one through six, 

clearly showing signs that our juniors will be a force to be 

reckoned with provincially for the foreseeable future. 

women’s weekend 

The Glenora Club again hosted the popular women’s weekend 

this year. With almost 150 ladies and girls from all around 

Alberta a fun weekend was guaranteed. Congratulations to 

Evelyn Moorhouse who followed up her recent 

dominating performance at the Glencoe junior open with an 

equally dominating showing in the ladies open event. Evelyn 

beat several higher ranked players on route to the final where 

she comprehensively beat a local rival three games to love.

Jester’s Junior championships 

The annual Junior Jester’s was once again hosted by the 

Glenora Club in Edmonton. This event is designated by 

Squash Canada as a core event meaning the entry list is much 

stronger than for a regular junior tournament provincially. 

With over 150 of the best juniors in Canada in attendance 

competition was always going to be fierce. Our juniors 

performed admirably coming out with the best results of any 

of the clubs taking part. Particular note should go to 

Hannah Treleaven, Noel Heaton and Jay Peris who won 

their events, Jarrett Peris who was second in his and

myofASCIAL rELEASE for rotAtor Cuff 

muSCLES (froZEN ShouLdEr SyNdromE) 

All four rotator cuff muscles attach to the shoulder blades. 

According to Dr. Hal Blatman, a chronic and myofascial pain 

experts and myofascial trigger points in two of the rotator cuff 

muscles (infraspinatus and subscapularis) are a major contributor 

to “frozen shoulder” syndrome. 

Myofascial release is a technique which massages and 

stretches the tight fascia, which in turn, decreases the stress 

on the surrounding tissues. Self-myofascial release is a way to 

relax overactive muscles and allow for a greater stretch. 

On March 17 th from 1:00 - 3:00 pm, Dianne Anton is 

offering a workshop where you will learn how to release the 

four rotator cuff muscles as well as a routine for frozen 

shoulder. Register on GameTime.

our numbers have been quite steady. 

The following times are where we see the most traffic on

Monday - Friday: 5:00 - 7:00 pm 

Saturday: 9:00 - 11:30 am 

If you are working out during these times, please be open to 

sharing space and equipment with everybody as this is proper 

gym etiquette. At the same time asking to share equipment in 

between member’s sets and even asking if members are done 

with a piece is very appreciated. We call this “working in”. 

Sometimes this can be intimidating, if you need assistance on 

how to ask or actually asking, please talk to a Fitness Consultant

Dear Calgary Winter Club Members: 

2012 has brought many changes to the Rhonda with an H 

Team. We would like to share with you some of the wonderful 

things that have unfolded. 

The Rhonda with an H Team has successfully switched to 

RE/MAX. We have survived the changes that any move brings 

to your life. All of our hard work learning new passwords, 

systems, people and of course a new office location has paid 

off though – as Ivan was awarded with rookie of the year!!! 

Rhonda and James have also established a presence in the 

United States by achieving Real Estate Broker designation in 

Arizona. They are now, brokers at the Ken Meade Realty Sun 

City Grand office in Surprise, Arizona and can be contacted at 

623-377-1997 or via email at rhondawithanh77@gmail.com or 

at www.rhondawithanh.com. 

This move has allowed our team to assist anyone thinking about 

moving to the United States. If you are considering acquiring a 

retirement property in the USA, please give us the opportunity 

to handle your real estate on both sides of the Border. 

We are able to educate you on both markets, assist you 

upon arrival with tours and make all the arrangements to 

help you enjoy a seamless move. Big changes but good ones. 

Now a bit more rest for James as he had his knee replaced 

and is doing great!!!! 

For more information on the Alberta and/or Arizona markets, 

contact us by phone or email or visit www.rhondawithanh.ca 

for our Team’s current listings. 

We can help you with any questions you have and look 

forward to our continued service for another 25 years. 

Warmest Regards From the Team,

55+ New beginnings 

This is a brand new class, beginning April 16 th , that was 

designed to target those 55+ members who are interested 

in getting into a fitness program, but have no idea where to 

start. It is a registered class whereby participants will work 

in groups of 4 - 6 with a Personal Trainer for 8 weeks, once a 

week. They will be given an initial fitness assessment, work 

through the STEPS program with their pedometer, learn to set 

goals, get advice from a registered dietician, and have 

personalized workouts with their trainer. The purpose of this 

class is to reduce the fear of ‘going upstairs’ – and get 

participants into a comprehensive program tailored to their 

needs. Check on GameTime for new pricing, dates and times. 

Forever Fit programs do not run the month of June, July 

or August, so this is your last chance before the Fall to try 

something new, challenge yourself and meet other members. 

Become fitter and have fun doing it!

SprINg CLEANSINg 

In Chinese medicine, spring represents the Liver. The liver 

has a very important role in detoxification so this is an ideal 

time to reflect on cleansing the body. When you walk into any 

vitamin or natural foods store, you will see a whole section 

reserved for various detox cleansing programs. For some, this 

accelerated cleanse can work well. However, for the 

majority of people, especially those with a focus on 

fertility, this method of cleansing is not optimal and can 

actually deplete the body rather than build it up. 

Here are a few simple ideas to incorporate into your day to 

allow the body to detoxify: 

• Upon waking, drink 1 glass of water with 1/4 to 1/2 of a 

lemon squeezed into it. This is the best daily detox you 

can provide for the liver 

• Pick 1-2 days per week that will be vegetarian with a 

focus on vegetables 

• 70% of your plate should be greens & veggies for both 

lunch and dinner 

• Consider alkaline foods for breakfast like millet with 

berries, chia and almonds (soaked) 

• Chlorella - cleanses environmental toxins from the body 

including radiation, residues, pesticides, herbicides and 

most toxic “heavy” metals including mercury. It also 

builds the “yin” of the body, which is so important with 

fertility treatments, overcoming stress, inflammation and 

mental irritation. 

• Water, water and more water (no, coffee isn’t water :-) 

• Meditation, Tai Chi, walks in nature - all help to build 

the Yin or calming aspect of the body. The liver always 

wants more yin so the more you focus on this (daily) the 

greater the detoxification. 

• Journal or consider a letting go ritual to release all of the 

“bags” you have been carrying with you over the years. 

Spring is a natural time to allow the body to release that 

which is no longer benefiting or supporting you. 

What you can expect to feel: 

• Increased energy 

• Glowing skin (although initially it may flare up as the 

body releases toxins) 

• Better bowel movements 

• Elimination of bloating and gas 

• More consistent periods 

• Elimination of PMS 

• A state of calmness even when there is stress around you

leslie ring-adams | Traditional Chinese Medicine 

When Leslie Ring-Adams started at the Calgary Winter Club in 2005 it was almost 

like a home coming of sorts. Leslie and her family had been members at the Club 

since she was a young girl and her and her husband joined the Club in 2004 as 

Conversion Members. Leslie, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine studied at the 

International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver. The three year 

program has helped train, and educate Leslie into becoming an integral part of the 

Calgary Winter Club team. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine uses a holistic approach to look at all aspects of the 

body: diet, stress, sleep, digestion as well as the issue that might have brought 

the patient into the clinic. Some of the most common ailments that might bring a 

patient into the clinic include pain, women’s health, cancer, allergies and digestive 

disorders. Leslie and her team of Acupuncturists treat by encouraging the body to 

promote self-healing and improve function. Accupunture is an effective and safe 

form of treatment. “Acupuncture is not for everyone but the body will choose to 

respond positively to the treatment or not at all,” states Leslie. A common fear is that 

acupuncture can be painful. “The treatment is very relaxing and extremely gentle,” 

Leslie promises. The team in the TCM clinic feel that Traditional Chinese Medicine is a 

great form of treatment and should be considered by everyone when looking for their 

best option. A lot of insurance companies and employers even cover the treatment 

which makes it a very cost effective form of treatment. Leslie and her team operate 

with an open door policy and encourage all members that have questions, to come up 

to the clinic to discuss the different options and benefits 

that Traditional Chinese Medicine can offer. 

Leslie and her husband Chris think of the Club as their 

second home, not only does Leslie work at the Club but 

their growing family spends many evenings and weekends 

participating in activities and social events. Leslie really 

loves the sense of community and family focus here at the 

Club. Leslie and Chris’s two children, Caleb and Livia have 

grown up at the Club and have participated in many of the 

different programs and services that are offered. This is not 

only a recreation facility for Leslie, but as the owner of the 

TCM clinic at the Club, she really takes pride in providing 

the members with an alternative form of treatment and 

believes in the benefits that Traditional Chinese Medicine
