I

’m writing this message Sunday evening June 5 as the outdoor pool “Grand Opening Weekend” is just winding down. I hope everyone was as pleased with the outcome as I was. We had 1,195 members register for the twelve 1.5 hour sessions that were held on both Saturday and Sunday. Everyone I spoke with indicated that the new pool deck and surrounds were a great success. Many commented that the area had a “resort” look and feel.

As good as it already is, the outdoor pool experience will be further enhanced over the next few weeks: • By the time you read this, the renovated food service kiosk should be completed. The Club has expanded the old “Grass Hut” by taking some of the space formerly occupied by the Family / Handicapped Change facility. The new food service area, now renamed “Lido” will be about three times the size, allowing more flexibility in our pool-side food service offerings.

• Cushions for the chairs and lounges will have arrived.

• There will be some “tweaking” to the water slide and hot tub.

Given that the weather June 4 and 5 was spectacular, it was great to have both patios open (i.e. the West Patio overlooking the pool and the south Grille Room Patio). My wife and I joined another couple to celebrate two birthdays on the Grille Room Patio Saturday evening. We had a delicious meal and a great time! Remember that your entrée is free within five days of your birthday and the Club offers half-priced wines on Wednesdays.

Family / Accessible Change Room The Club is hoping to have the new Family / Accessible Change Room open before the end of June. Space formerly occupied by the old Boys Locker Room and the old Family Change Room is being totally renovated. Part of this space will be an updated, enlarged and much improved Family / Accessible Change Room with private change areas and private shower areas. The rest of the area will be taken up with the Lido (described above) and a Flex Room.

Other Capital Projects We undertake a number of projects every year and this year’s include: • Curling Lounge Renovation - Our curlers were very generous to give up a good portion of their Lounge to Fitness during the renovation period. The Lounge has now been restored and will be renovated in June and July.

THE GLENCOE CLUB PR ESIDENT’S MESSAGE

"We had 1,195 members registered for the twelve 1.5 hour sessions that were held on both Saturday and Sunday"

• Curling Ice Summer Use: Turf and rubber flooring have been installed and Pickle Ball courts are now in place. These will be available until just before the curling season starts again in the fall.

• Fitness Studios 1 & 2: The Club has tendered the project to rejuvenate these studios as they were never part of the Fitness renovation. Studio 2 will see the biggest change, as the wall separating the front from the back part of the studio will be removed. It is anticipated that the studio renovations will start in early July and be completed over the course of the summer.

• Golf simulators are to be placed in the area that was the golf office near Tennis Courts 5 and 6.

• Tennis courts 1-4: Heat flow / insulation issues are being addressed, so that air conditioning can be contemplated for these courts.

• Food & Beverage: The Club is undertaking a long-term Food & Beverage plan. As part of this plan a survey was sent out to members and to date the response rate has been excellent.

New concepts will be presented as they become available.

Bike Storage I would like to remind members that we have a new indoor secure bike storage facility located in the new lower parking area. You will need your card or fob to access this secure lock.

Once inside, press the red button to exit. Even though this area is locked and monitoring cameras are in place, I encourage members to use their own bike lock as well.

That’s a lot of new facilities and activity areas for everyone to enjoy. The Future is NOW! A Al Chapman President The Glencoe Club

s I write this, the Glencoe Invitational has just concluded. I was able to watch some of the play. Two things come to mind from that: the Invitational attracts a lot of great players and The Forest is tough! Jared du Toit’s score of two over for 54 holes was incredible given the windy conditions and the firmness of the greens.

Congratulations to Dale Goerhing, Mike Kenney and the rest of the organizers for putting on such a great tournament I have been asked this month to say something about respectful behaviour. I know from my own point of view, I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to be a member of a world class golf facility. In my role as President, I am getting a better idea of what it takes to run the Club and I am especially grateful to the staff for the extra effort they make every day to make our experience enjoyable. I feel it is incumbent upon all of us as members to respect the job the staff is doing and to reflect that respect in the way we communicate with them, even if there is a rare occasion where we feel the level of service is not what we have come to expect. Sadly, there have been some recent incidents where member behaviour has been very disrespectful both of staff members and fellow members. Such conduct is not acceptable and staff members are instructed to contact their supervisors immediately in such cases. I know the number of members engaging in such behaviour is small, but a stone thrown in the pond creates wide ripples.

View from the inside: Every month I am spending some time “working” different jobs at the Club to give members some idea of what it takes to make the Club tick. This month I spent a morning with the Outdoor Services (ODS) team, headed up by Steve Thompson and his trusty sidekick Bruce Campbell.

Outdoor Services is responsible for club and cart operations and daily preparation and operation of the Practice Facility. We (I) tend to take if for granted that our clubs show up when we are ready to play, that rickshaws and power carts are available, that our clubs are clean and that there is a ready supply of golf balls on the range and around the practice greens.

You might be interested in some numbers that indicate the scope and size of the ODS operations: We employ 25 people, store 1300 golf bags, have 220 rickshaws and 125 power carts. Every morning the bags of people with starting times are put out on rickshaws or power carts long before we arrive to play. Once again, I was impressed by the attention to detail that goes into making our experience seamless. Rickshaws and power carts, for instance, require constant maintenance. Battery water levels and tire pressure (15-20 psi) are checked regularly according to a published schedule, thereby ensuring we don’t have any unfortunate instances of dead carts on the golf course.

After a couple hours of getting bags out, bringing carts up from below and picking up bags from arriving members, I headed down to the Practice Facility to learn the ropes there from Nolan Broeke. Speaking of ropes, here is another bit of detail. The rope which defines the practice zone for the day has been marked at regular intervals (26 to be exact) to show the range staff where to put the balls so that they are evenly spaced. Next time you are there, look for the red markers. Another example of great attention to detail. The practice location cycles from back to front about every three weeks, being the amount of time it takes a zone to recover from the divots taken during the day.

THE GLENCOE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB PR ESIDENT’S MESSAGE

I learned that we have 24,000 range balls, new every year. Nolan and I quickly calculated that each ball gets struck 90 to 100 times per season, so by the end of the season they are well worn, although not so well worn that they can’t be sold to other driving ranges at the end of the season.

Great care is taken throughout the setup and maintenance of the facility to ensure that it looks professional, right down to making sure there is a good supply of clean water in the ball washing machine so that the balls we hit look sparkling clean.

Highlight of my day? Got to drive the ball picking machine! I have to confess I was a little nervous and it is tricky to drive. No major mishaps, lots of fun.

All in all, I was once again impressed by the care and enthusiasm displayed by the team. Thanks to Steve, Bruce, Nolan and the rest of the ODS crew for doing such a great job. Next month I am moving on to work with Keith and the Players Assistants crew.

As always, don’t hesitate to get in touch with comments or concerns. Len.Johnson@glencoe.org. A Len Johnson President The Glencoe Golf & Country Club

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S MESSAGE

Positive Changes at the Club

I

t is good to finally see the end in sight of the $25M expansion construction project. We are almost at the finish line with the successful opening of the last section of Phase 1, our “resort like” outdoor pool, and being well on our way with the completion of Phase 2 which includes the expanded Family / Accessible Locker room area, Outdoor Pool food services area “Lido” and the new Wellness Centre that will go in the area of the old Girls Locker Room. The great news is that the project is still projected to be completed just under our tender budget and opened on schedule. In addition, the construction was funded strictly with cash, leaving no debt even though the original plan projected $6M of bank financing. Building this project is one thing, but getting it operational and programmed for our members is another. There are too many to name individually but I would like to recognize and commend the supervisors and all their employees for getting the new facilities up and operational. This was not an easy task but they did tremendous job in scheduling, programming, cleaning and maintaining our new facilities.

The old adage: “if you don’t progress you will regress” has been embraced at The Glencoe Club over the past year. The Club has not just changed it has made a huge leap forward in so many ways over and above the construction project: • The premier of our new Glencoe Life publication was very well received by the members. In my experience it is the best publication that I have seen by private clubs in North America. My congratulations to our in-house Creative Studio team and other contributors for the creation of the Glencoe Life magazine.

• The revamp and launch of our new Logo was also a very big step forward. Overall, the members love the new logo as it brings back some of our past history as well as being quite progressive. It will take some time to implant our logo throughout the Club.

• I know the introduction of the new security gates has been a struggle for some members to get used to, but most members are pleased to know that we now have better security. Better security does add value to the membership, by better ensuring that it is only members and guests that use the Club. This is even more important with the addition of the new facilities. Of course the systems also enhance security for our members personally, as well as their belongings.

I commend our Reception, Sports Desk and Duty Manager employees for a smooth implementation and for dealing with a small percentage of our members, who do not like the new procedures. As planned in the initial stages with this system, we are now actively pursuing the purchasing of a facial recognition system, so that members do not have to remember to bring their fob or card.

• The restructuring of the Sons and Daughters Associate membership categories is also a very big step forward that will enhance the continuance of multi-generational family memberships. The new category gives members' Sons and Daughters an option to remain as an Associate member until age 35, before having to make the decision to become a permanent shareholder.

• As part of the Sons and Daughters change, it was decided to disconnect the entrance fees for Sons and Daughters, so that it is no longer a percentage of the full Entrance fee.

That change allowed the Club to adjust the entrance fee up to a level that is more conducive to the demand, while still keeping the Club affordable for our members' children.

It sounds simple enough, but these membership changes take a lot of hard work from our Membership Coordinators.

I would like to thank Leigh Gerard and Ann Trussell for their hard work in answering member questions and implementing the changes.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S MESSAGE

The old adage: “if you don’t progress you will regress” has been embraced at The Glencoe Club over the past year. The Club has not just changed it has made a huge leap forward in so many ways over and above the construction project.

Nomination for Board of Directors Notice is hereby given that The Glencoe Club will receive nominations for the Office of Director: Any 2 (two) Shareholder Members may nominate any other Shareholder Member, other than a body corporate, for election as Director; provided that the Shareholder Member so nominated has endorsed his/her consent to such nomination upon such letter.

There has been a lot of positive change over the past year, but we are not done yet. To continue to succeed, we must continue to progress. We may take a short breather, but we will not sit on our laurels as there are some major projects in the works for next year. In the fall, the website at both Clubs will be fully revamped to make it more user friendly for our members. At The Glencoe Club, a long term Facility Master Plan is being developed for all the food & beverage areas, as well as the administrative office area. The plan will be conceptual in nature to give a template of future developmental plans. The plans will be available for membership review and feedback sometime late fall or early in the new year.

At The Glencoe Golf & Country Club, despite the economy, we are also having a very good year. General Manager, Mike Kenney and his team, have the golf course and Clubhouse in great condition. The membership is strong and the Club is set to have a very good financial year.

If members have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly at glundmark@glencoe.org. A

Singapore's Inviting Oasis

AFFILIATED CLUB FEATURE

Relax at the Tanglin Club.

by Crystal Ng, Senior Marketing & Communications Executive

The Founding Years In October 1865, the "forty good men and true" convened a meeting to form a suburban social institute for British people. There is some uncertainty about the exact date The Tanglin Club was founded. However, two letters which appeared in the Singapore Daily Times on November 11 and 13, 1865, allude to the formation of the Club. There are also legal documents from the Tanglin Club dated October, 1865.

On June 26, 1866, a property was purchased in the District of Claymore from Arthur Hughes de Wind for $600. In December 1866, the trustees of the Club borrowed 5,000 Spanish dollars to build a Clubhouse with bowling alleys, billiards rooms and stables.

Tanglin It is a mystery why the Club was named “Tanglin.” There is a tree, however, known as an asok or asoka related to the saraca tree and the Malays generally refer to it as gapis, talan, tengalan or tanglin. It is sacred among Hindus and Buddhists as being the tree under which the Buddha was born.

It is a beautiful, flowering tree with golden-orange flowers and deep purple pods up to twelve inches long that is not common in present-day Singapore.

“Tanglin” could also be a corruption of the Chinese words tang ling – tang meaning "eastern side", and ling "a small hill." In the 1860s, there were plenty of hills in the districts of Tanglin and Claymore – Nassim Hill, Mount Elizabeth, Cairnhill, Claymore Hill and Goodwood Hill.

The Tanglin Club Today Today, The Tanglin Club stands proud as one of Singapore's oldest and most prominent social clubs. Exclusive to its Members, the Club is an inviting oasis for relaxation and rejuvenation. Its ambience still evokes the grace and charm of the past while reflecting its mission as a “home away from home.” Its strategic location, cosmopolitan membership and modern facilities cater to the wants and desires of contemporary men and women alike. A

Location The Tanglin Club is located in the heart of Singapore, approximately 30 minutes from the Singapore Changi International Airport. The Club's well-appointed 16 suites, some with balconies and pool-view, are a great choice for Members and guests visiting Singapore.

Sports & Recreation Members can unwind with a few laps in the Club’s swimming pool or polish up their game in the Billiards Room. There are four singles and two double squash courts, and four tennis courts in the complex across from the Club. The Club also runs many sporting activities including fitness classes, squash, tennis, yoga, gym and scuba. Under special arrangements, golf enthusiasts can practice their swing at three local country clubs.

ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS

by Chris Jennings

Every year we get together to celebrate the accomplishments of athletes from The Glencoe Club. It's always a great opportunity to show appreciation to coaches, athletes and parents for their hard work, time and effort. It’s also one of the most anticipated traditions at The Glencoe Club.

This year we called the celebration “The Art of Sport” and once again it’ll have members talking for years to come.

Our athletes won provincial and national championships and one of them qualified for the Olympic Games (as seen in the award winners photos).

We’d like to extend congratulations to all the coaches, athletes and parents for their fantastic accomplishments and thank everyone involved for such a historic night!

We look forward to another upcoming year full of success, perseverance and commitment on the part of our athletes. A

Wine Festival 2016 Taste our winning wines!

by Marc Badorek

T

here’s nothing like a lively wine festival to get The Glencoe Club members telling you exactly what constitutes good taste!

At our Annual Wine Festival, held on Friday, April 8, we asked 300 members and their guests to pick their two favourite wines from 110 labels supplied by 25 agencies.

Marc Badorek Food & Beverage Service Manager 403-287-4164 mbadorek@glencoe.org

Here are the winners: 1) Negru de Puracari 2010 (Moldova); 2) Barossa Valley Estate Shiraz 2014 (Australia).

Each of these exciting and remarkable red wines is now featured on The Glencoe Club wine list, so visit our food and beverage venues and taste one for yourself.

PURCARI

Negru de Purcari 2010

PURCARI WINERY

Winemaker's Notes A dry, red Moldovan wine, Negru de Purcari is produced by blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Rara neagră (Moldova) and Saperavi (Georgia) grapes. With a dark ruby, saturated colour, it is produced in limited batches.

An intense and complex nose hints of sweet fruit, reminiscent of ripe plums and figs. The wine’s aroma evolves into whiffs and layers of mixed spice, liquorice, saffron, dark fruit and chocolate. The result is a long, persistent and agreeable finish.

Pairings Negru de Purcari is a perfect wine to enjoy with red meat dishes such as venison, wild pig, deer, mutton, marinated meat, spiced food and strong cheese such as Roquefort, Gorgonzola and Stilton.

The winery is located in the Stefan Voda region of Moldova. Situated just 30 km from the Black Sea, Purcari has an ideal climate for wine growing, similar to that of Bordeaux and the Northern Italian wine region.

Formerly the property of the Afono-Zagraf Monastery, Purcari winery was established in 1827. In 1878 at the Paris World Exhibition, the jury awarded the gold medal to a dry, densely coloured red wine they believed to be a new arrival from Bordeaux. They were surprised to learn it came from Purcari, an unknown village on the river Nistru.

BAROSSA Barossa Valley Estate Shiraz 2014 Winemaker's Notes Above all else, Barossa Valley Shiraz seduces us with its vibrancy. Flavours of red plum and ripening blackberry are deepened by the subtle presence of exotic spice. Its freshness breaks through with an elegant boldness while its more subtle, exotic accents surprise and entice. Upon completion of fermentation, the wine was racked where it underwent malolactic fermentation. It was then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels to impart its softness and texture, and to enhance its bouquet, varietal character, elegance and structure.

Pairings Canada’s wine reviewer Natalie Maclean calls the Barossa Valley Estate Shiraz (2014) a “heavenly hamburger wine” and says it’s “perfect for roast beef and big meat dishes.”

BAROSSA VALLEY ESTATE Carved by the North Para River, beautiful Barossa Valley is located in South Australia, 60 kilometres northeast of Adelaide. It has become a major wine-producing region and tourist destination. Along the foothills of the Barossa Valley, ancient red clay soils combine with a warm, dry climate to produce exceptional grapes. They’re picked at ripeness levels that ensure freshness and natural balance during winemaking. Aged in French oak, the wines express a seductive and sensual vibrancy.

Glencoe Sous Chef wins gold medal.

by Britton Ledingham, Airdrie Echo

C

hef de Partie Matthew Liesemer has earned three gold medals at international events in the last year. The 22-yearold Airdrie native, who is a Sous Chef at Calgary’s Glencoe Club, won two golds at the 2015 HOFEX Exposition and Trade Show in Hong Kong and another at the Food & Hotel Asia 2016 competition in Singapore, April 14. Liesemer’s latest gold came after four months of daily practice, 30 hours of travel and one hour of competition. Then he had to wait until the next day for his results. “That’s all worth it,” he said.

Liesemer rose to the top of more than 130 competitors to earn the award in the Neptune’s Catch category, which he described as freestyle seafood. His creation of choice was a lobster and halibut roulade (roll). Liesemer described the dish as “bright green stuffing, the coin of halibut, a thin layer of scallop around that and a then a nice vibrant red lobster around that.” He said the halibut loin was stuffed with leek and fennel, which were sautéed with fresh dill and butter. Additional colour was brought in with vegetables, including carrots, parsnip, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, pearl onions, asparagus and tomatoes. The dish was accompanied by a seahorse-shaped tuile (cracker), which he made freehand and plated next to the roll. All preparation and plating was accomplished within the one-hour time limit and sent to be judged. “That 60 minutes, it goes by fast,” said Liesemer. “The first 10 minutes are great. The next thing you know you have 10 minutes left.”

24 glencoe.org

His 2015 gold medals were earned against other apprentices under 25 years old, but his Singapore was in an open category.

Liesemer said he had help from Glencoe chefs and SAIT instructors in creating his concept for the competition. For the last couple of months, he regularly practised preparing the dish in the kitchen at Calgary’s Webber Academy for a challenging change of scenery.

Liesemer said some people questioned his efforts for the one-hour competition and a medal, but he is sure about his choice. “It’s about the networking and seeing and exploring the other avenues of cuisine in the world,” he said. “You really push yourself to a new level.”

Liesemer said he is thankful for his supportive work environment at Glencoe that gives him the opportunity to compete. The chef dreams of working in Southeast Asia and Dubai within the next 18 months. “Working in the absolute best hotels is an absolute dream for me,” said Liesemer, noting he is patient about how soon he gets there.

His next competition will be the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs’ jeunes commis (young clerks) in Calgary in June. He said he is entering the regional black-box event with the goal of advancing to nationals. The Glencoe is a members-only facility, so those interested in tasting his cuisine need to be a member or a friend of a member. A

Fresh First

Healthy, sustainable and local.

by Jordan Cameron

O Jordan Cameron Sous Chef 403-287-4150 jcameron@glencoe.org

ver the last three years the kitchen team at The Glencoe Club has made an effort to partner with local suppliers to source better tasting, healthier and more sustainable products for our menus.

The Glencoe Club uses products grown or raised close to home. These foods generally retain more flavour and have more nutritional value. It’s exciting to support local Western Canadian businesses and see them grow. Our producers are passionate about their products and glad to share what they have learned and worked hard to produce.

These are some of the local suppliers we’re proud to work with. Look for their products on the menu in the Grille Room, Sports Lounge and Pub.

Broxburn Farms Broxburn Farms was founded in 1994 by Paul and Hilda de Jonge. Located just east of Lethbridge, it began as one small greenhouse to grow peppers. It has now expanded to grow many varieties of peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers in greenhouses and supplies Calgary restaurants and farmers markets nearly year round.

Broxburn also runs an onsite café and market. The Glencoe kitchen receives a weekly delivery of cocktail and vine-ripened tomatoes from Broxburn.

Creative Salmon Creative Salmon is North America’s only certified organic farmraised salmon producer – achieving all the requirements in the Canadian Organic Aquaculture Standard.

The company’s farms and head office are located in Tofino, British Columbia, on the west coast of Vancouver Island in Clayoquot Sound. This is the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation with whom Creative Salmon enjoys a formal protocol agreement fostering mutual respect and cooperation.

Despite being one of the smallest salmon farming companies in the world, Creative Salmon is fully integrated. It produces its own broodstock and smolts at its hatchery and raises and harvests the fish at its four sea sites. Processing is done in-house at a plant located right on the dock in Tofino before the fish are trucked to Vancouver for packaging and distribution.

26 glencoe.org

Creative Salmon harvests year-round, so the salmon is always fresh and ready for your table. Low in saturated fat and high in Omega-3 fatty acids, Chinook salmon delivers powerful proteins for a healthy diet. And now it’s certified organic, making it the right choice for your table and for the environment. The kitchen receives two deliveries a week of fresh salmon from Creative.

Fiasco Fiasco Gelato is a Calgary-based company that crafts artisan gelato and dairy-free sorbetto. It supplies these products to grocers, award-winning restaurants and The Glencoe Club's culinary team. Fiasco Gelato products can be found in Calgary and Western Canada.

Fiasco's mission statement is to enrich people's lives one tiny spoonful at a time. They do this by being absolutely committed to their mission and by using nothing but the best, all-natural ingredients sourced as locally as possible. Making their products fresh everyday allows Fiasco to constantly innovate. They have worked with the Glencoe's culinary team to make unique custom flavours for various occasions.

Fiasco recently re-opened the Fiasco Café which offers locally roasted coffee, gourmet lunches and an assortment of delectable frozen treats. Fiasco Café is attached to their test kitchen and head office and is located at 110, 221 19 Street SE. It is open 7 am to 9 pm Monday to Friday and from 9 am to 10 pm on weekends.

The kitchen keeps a rotating supply of gelatos and sorbettos on hand at all times. Our Caramel Macchiato Sundae features a cappuccino gelato made exclusively for The Glencoe Club.

Galimax Galimax Trading Inc. has pulled together 22 producers in southern Alberta. The company consolidates orders and then delivers twice a week to restaurants in Calgary and the Canmore/ Banff/Lake Louise (Bow Valley) corridor. Much of the produce from partner farms is organic and extremely fresh, usually harvested the day before delivery. Every Thursday, the Glencoe kitchen receives peppers, baby cucumbers and other seasonal produce from Galimax.

Poplar Bluff Organics Poplar Bluff Organics has been producing organic vegetables for more than 25 years on its farm near Strathmore. The soil and climate are ideal for potatoes and Poplar Bluff has specialized in growing unique varieties that are not found elsewhere. In addition to potatoes they produce many varieties of carrots and beets from their partner farm, Carrots by Cam. They deliver directly to restaurants in Calgary and can also be found at local farmers markets.

Starting with harvest in mid-summer the Glencoe kitchen receives weekly deliveries of potatoes and carrots until supply runs out. A

SPORTS THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

Canadian Doubles National Squash Championships

by David Duncalf

Believe it or not, this was the first Doubles Nationals ever hosted in Alberta.

Two hundred and sixty competitors signed up well in advance of the deadline, making it an instant success.

With 16 draws, each entrant had, on average, a less than 15% chance of winning their event but a 100% chance of being blamed by their partner!

Competitors arrived from across Canada and the US, with 27 American teams and what is believed to have been the first-ever Mexican contingent at the Canadian Nationals. A huge thanks goes out to everyone who made the trip.

The tournament was a city-wide team effort the likes of which the Squash community had never seen in Calgary. The Bow Valley Club, World Health Edgemont and the Calgary Winter Club all played huge roles as Co-Hosts.

The four Clubs would like to thank all Sponsors and, especially, our Title Sponsor, Rogers Insurance Ltd. The support made the event possible and we were thrilled to see everyone enjoying the entertainment and hospitality.

The Glencoe Club shone brightly in the eyes of our visitors with departments from across the Club stepping up to make the event a resounding success.

An organization can often be measured by how well it adapts to last minute changes and difficult situations. In this case, the teams from the Maintenance, Creative Studio and Food & Beverage departments demonstrated an elevated level of professionalism through high-pressure situations. And for many, the highlight of the event was the largest banquet the Club has ever put on!

Finally, a special thank you must go out to the three Co-Chairs: Mike Letourneau, Tom Charlton and Jack Hoogstraten who, along with the 11 Tournament Committee members, raised over $80,000. Thanks to this, the tournament prize money was the largest ever in the history of this prestigious event, attracting the very best Doubles players for the five days of competition. A

Western Canadian Sr. Tennis National Championships

by Dietmar Rautenbach

The Glencoe Club, along with the Calgary Winter Club, co-hosted another successful Western Canadian Senior National Championships from April 27 to May 1.

Fifteen players represented The Glencoe Club. They won in five categories and were runners-up in a few others.

The six-day Championship was well attended, with participants from all over Canada.

Players ranged in age from 35 to over 80. The Glencoe Club hosted events for the over 60 age groups. These senior competitors enjoyed the softer playing surfaces of the carpet courts at the Club. Softer courts minimize damaging impact on aging bodies in competitive events.

The Championships had many generous sponsors this year: Valentine Volvo, ATB Corporate Financial Services, Van Helden Agencies, Marshall Abbott and Reds Diner. Without these sponsors an event of this size would not have been possible.

There were many volunteers at the Championships, too.

Enjoy new tile courts in the Curling area!

by John Pearson

fter a successful inaugural run last season, pickleball is back for its second season at The Glencoe Club, with courts on the curling floor again for the summer. There will be drop-in play, ladders and clinics to help you get your pickleball game on!

In case you weren’t around last year or have never heard of it, pickleball is a kind of mash-up of full-court and paddle tennis, ping pong and badminton. The game is played on a badminton-sized court with a net that’s slightly lower than a traditional tennis net. Scoring is easy too. No “loves and ads”; just one, two, three and so on.

Games are played to 11, and you only win points on your serve, which is underhanded (below the waist) to your opponents’ diagonal service box. The biggest difference you’ll find is the “non-volley” zone, which extends seven feet from either side of the net. Often called “the kitchen”, you are not allowed to enter this zone unless your opponent’s shot lands inside it, at which point you can enter to return the ball. Should you play a ball in “the kitchen” without a ball hitting inside, you immediately lose the point, and your opponent either gets the point or the serve.

John Pearson The doubles game is played on the same court (no Bowling Director doubles alleys), with serving and scoring as follows: At 403-287-4145 jpearson@glencoe.org the start of the game, the serving side gets only one fault before their side is out, and the opponents begin their serve. After this, each side gets two faults (one with each team member serving) before their serve is finished. Thus, each side is always one serve ahead or behind, or tied.

It’s a great game for all that can be played as slow (baseline) or as fast (serve & volley) as you’d like. For this reason it’s a nice challenge for those aged seven to 77!

Check around the Club for information posters. We’ll also have copies of the Rules of Play at all three of the courts this season and on our website.

Wait. THREE courts? Yes that’s right.

Three courts! While we are thankful to our partners at Badminton Alberta for loaning us two portable courts last season, this season we’ve purchased two new Flex Court tile pickleball courts for installation in the Curling area. These courts will have great playability and will last for many years to come.

The third court for pickleball this season was a very pleasant surprise. We reached out to our friends at the Elbow Park Residence Association about using their “all-purpose” court over at Elbow Park. They agreed that this would be a great benefit not only to The Glencoe Club members, but to their residents as well. This “third” court gives us the option of playing inside the Club or taking the game outdoors to Elbow Park.

We’ll have equipment for you to borrow at both The Glencoe Club and the Elbow Park Clubhouse. Please check your weekly email for further updates regarding pickleball. A

Canada Captures Gold Medal at 2016 World Men’s Championship

Team Canada, L-R: Rick Lang (National Coach), John Dunn (Sports Psych), Kevin Koe, Marc Kennedy, Brent Laing, Ben Hebert, Scott Pfeiffer (5th Player), Paul Webster (National Coach)

I

t was worth the wait. It had been four years since a Canadian team stood atop the medal podium at the World Men’s Curling Championship, but that dry spell was snapped in a thrilling way in Basel Switzerland’s St. Jakobshalle, on Sunday, April 10.

Kevin Koe’s Glencoe Club team defeated Denmark’s Rasmus Stjerne 5-3 in the gold-medal game of the 2016 World Men’s Championship, presented by Ford of Canada. It’s the first time since 1985 a Southern Alberta team has won a World Men’s Championship and that banner will be hanging in The Glencoe Club next year!

For Koe, vice-skip Marc Kennedy and lead Ben Hebert, it was a second World gold medal, while second Brent Laing was crowned World champion for a third time. He was a member of 40 glencoe.org

the last Canadian team to win gold, Glenn Howard’s 2012 team, which also prevailed at St. Jakobshalle in Basel.

Alternate Scott Pfeifer, a three-time World champion as a player with Randy Ferbey’s crew, team coach John Dunn and national coaches Rick Lang and Paul Webster, completed the Canadian lineup.

“It feels awesome,” said Koe, who followed up on his 2010 gold-medal at Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy (with a different team) by becoming only the 15th skip to win two or more World titles.

“It was a battle today, they’re a good young team. It wasn’t flashy, but it was solid, and what a feeling. It’s so hard to win the Brier, so you just want to win the World's when you get here, and it feels awesome.”

“We are looking forward to bringing the trophies to the Club and celebrating with the people that have helped us with our success!”

It was a nail-biting final in which the relatively inexperienced Danish team - the country had never reached a gold-medal game in 39 previous attempts - matched the Canadians shot for shot.

In fact, it was the Danes who were forcing the issue early.

Canada had to take a single in the first end, and then it was Stjerne who secured the game’s first deuce, in the third end.

Canada, though, managed to fight back with a go-ahead deuce in the fifth end to carry some momentum into the second half of the game.

After forcing Denmark to a single in the sixth, Canada blanked the next two ends, and then scored a decisive, holdyour-breath deuce in the ninth when Stjerne - who was simply brilliant all week - barely missed on a double-runback raise attempt, giving Koe the open draw for two.

In the 10th, Kennedy’s runback double takeout all but killed the Danes’ hopes of a comeback, and it was left to Koe to finish it off. After Stjerne’s beautiful freeze, Koe threw his trademark heater and was able to pick out the Danish stone and set off a long-awaited celebration for Canadian curling fans.

“This is why we put this team together,” said Koe. “This is it; this is amazing. And there’s more in the tank; we have things to improve on. Honestly, though, you couldn’t write a better script for all we’ve gone through this year.”

“We put a lot of hard work into it,” added Koe. “Last year was a bit of a struggle and we made some changes (Kennedy moved to vice-skip), and they’re paying off. What a year we’ve had - World Champions, we’ve won a lot of other big events and hopefully we’ll just keep getting better. And I think we can. It’s only our second year playing together, and with more time, I think we’ll get better. We’re still learning a lot about each other. But what a team we’ve put together this year.”

Paul Webster (National Coach)

"Feels great to have won the World Championships” said Marc Kennedy, “We've been fortunate to have such a great relationship with The Glencoe Club. The ice has been fantastic and that has really helped our progression and improvement as a team. We’ve had some great training weekends at the Glencoe with Paul Webster where we've been able to hit the ice and have a great meal. It really is the perfect Club for our team.”

“We are looking forward to bringing the trophies to the Club and celebrating with the people that have helped us with our success!”

Coach John Dunn wanted to ensure the efforts of The Glencoe Club’s Curling Director, Paul Webster, were not missed in saying “Thanks to Paul Webster for his input and support this season. His help both on and off the ice has played a vital role in the team's success this year.” A

A special luncheon was held June 9 for the Koe & Carey teams. Her Honour, the Honourable Lois E. Mitchell, CM, AOE, LLD, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta presented gifts to the team members.

An Ice Show

by Al Harvey

T

he final performance of Dream – An Ice Show at The Glencoe Club on Saturday, April 30 was beautifully performed and highly entertaining.

Dream took the audience on a fantasy ride with an amusing and high energy selection of contemporary songs: Ultimate DJ Party, I Love Taylor Swift, Race Car Drivers, The Flying Dream, On the Cat Walk in Milan, I Wanna Be a Rock Star, Joan Jett and Dream in Colour. It was the second (and final) show of this season. The capacity audience in the stands and the Skating Lounge loved it.

Male and female skaters ranged in age from four to 19 years and wowed the crowd with spectacular dance moves, lifts, jumps, spins and some extremely fast skating.

The dazzling costumes, intricate in their detail and custommade for each skater, were changed for every song. The props and decorations, created by Louise Bennet from the Creative Studio, set the stage and contributed a unique and exciting atmosphere. The giant moon, the clouds, the gates and the posters added an extra level of fun to the performance.

Skaters Sol Orellana, 13, Cassie Kuzyk, 12, and Kristina Kloss, 12, were very happy with how the show went, commenting backstage, all smiles, afterwards. “It felt good, fun, despite the challenges. Feels good to be part of it… It wouldn’t be the same without everyone’s participation... It was fun to do the lifts this year with Paul Ayer and gratifying that he’d spend his time elevating our ice show,” they said.

For his part, Garry Knox (the Glencoe’s Head Skating Professional) – leaving the Club after this to begin a new chapter of his life in Sooke, BC -- has produced five ice shows at The Glencoe Club over the last nine years.

“The storyline is very cute,” he said in an interview before the show. “What will stick with me the most is setting it up.

42 glencoe.org

All the different sections of the show came together for a great team effort.” He then explained that the show is conceived through a brainstorming process that identifies a concept. This time, everyone very quickly got behind the Dream theme and went to work coordinating production details over three to four follow-up meetings. The two weeks leading up to the shows were a period of intense training for the skaters. They were on the ice four to five hours per day from Monday to Saturday, Garry said.

In a short speech to the audience after the show, Athletics Manager Chris Jennings said “What a show! This was Garry’s last one,” he announced. “Thank you for your hard work (Garry), your passion for skating and positive impact on all skaters, parents, coaches and volunteers.”

Skating Coach Michelle Janzen said the show “brings all the skaters and volunteers together into a group skating environment, different from individual skating pursuits. It challenges them to perform,” she said.

Glencoe member, Merrill Brescia, was in the stands watching the show with her daughter, Madden and friend Alison Rayner.

“The costumes were amazing and it was obvious that a lot of hard work went into the production. The diverse mix of music and choreography made it an entertaining show for all ages,” she said.

A Look

Skating on Elbow Park Rink: Marg Davidson with Mary & Shirley Martin In 1932, a six-year-old girl, Shirley Martin, participated in the first Glencoe Ice Carnival. She almost didn't participate, because she couldn't find skates in Calgary small enough to fit her tiny feet. Her father didn't give up. He sent a pair of her shoes to a skate manufacturer in Boston and they came back with tiny blades attached to them! She would go on to a 50-year involvement with the Canadian Figure Skating Association and become co-chairman of skating operations at the 1988 Olympic figure skating events in Calgary.

History of Skating at The Glencoe Club

1922

T

he Glencoe Club’s Ice Skating program got off to a rousing start in 1931 thanks to an already strong passion for ice skating on the part of winter-loving Calgarians.

As early as 1914, skaters in the City had flocked to outdoor rinks on 12th Avenue West, and in Bowness, Victoria Park and downtown.

During these years the Calgary Skating Club was formed, finding an eventual home in Elbow Park. The Club’s talented skaters took many championships in events such as the Banff Carnival and the Western Canada Championship.

Then, in 1929-30, amidst calls for an indoor rink that could withstand Calgary’s ice-melting-and-mangling Chinooks, The Glencoe Club took over all assets of the Calgary Skating Club, including its coaching pros.

The takeover agreement included money for promising skaters in the community who would otherwise not be able to afford Glencoe memberships.

It also included a new, indoor rink, one that became the training zone for a Glencoe cast of hundreds in its first annual carnival in 1932.

The carnival was a spectacular ice show held at the Victoria Park Arena on the Calgary Exhibition Grounds.

It drew a capacity crowd of 4,000 excited skating enthusiasts and ushered in a new era in Calgary ice skating, courtesy of The Glencoe Club. A 44 glencoe.org

Hunter Shinkaruk Flames’ young winger and Glencoe member.

by Chris Jennings

N

ational Hockey League (NHL) left winger and Glencoe Member Hunter Shinkaruk was traded to his hometown Calgary Flames by the Vancouver Canucks in February.

Many hockey fans and commentators believe he could have a breakout season with the Flames in 2016-‘17, scoring goals and adding depth to the Flames’ offense.

Hunter began skating when he was just two years old. He was exposed to high-level hockey at a very early age when his father was team dentist for the Calgary Hitmen. The early influence provided Hunter the opportunity to attend a few Calgary Hitmen practices and pre-game warm ups.

“I remember just standing on the ice with my double blade skates on watching all the players skate around me, they were all going so fast.”

With the goal of skating as fast as some of the Hitmen and aspirations of being a professional hockey player one day, Hunter practically lived on the skating rink at The Glencoe Club.

“I have a ton of great memories of coming down to Glencoe to play pickup games of shinny with my dad and friends.”

Growing up here, Hunter worked with Glencoe coaches to improve his edges and skating efficiency but also participated in other sports that contributed to his athleticism.

46 glencoe.org

“On top of hockey, I played badminton, lacrosse, soccer and volleyball. All these sports helped my physical fitness and growth in becoming a better, well-rounded athlete.”

Hunter grew up dreaming about playing in the NHL and especially for his favourite team, the Calgary Flames. He was a die-hard Flames fan, traveling to Tampa, Florida to watch Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2004.

“We’ve had season tickets to the Flames since I can remember so when they had the chance of winning in Game 7, we showed our support.”

Hunter’s childhood aspirations came true when he was drafted 23rd overall in the 2013 NHL entry draft by the Vancouver Canucks. This past February he was traded to the Calgary Flames, fulfilling his lifelong dream and bringing him to his favourite hometown team.

“It’s pretty surreal when the team you grew up watching and dreaming of playing on trades for you. It has been a really emotional experience for my family with lots of tears of joy.”

Hunter looks forward to the challenge of working hard to compete for a permanent spot on the Flames roster and is excited to be back closer to his biggest fans, his family. A

New Pool Opens with a Splash!

A Hawaiian-themed weekend party.

by Jamie Tolan

T

his summer you don’t need to change your latitude to have a change in attitude. Now that the much-anticipated new outdoor pool is open, you won’t need to escape the city to find sunny skies, cool, clean water and a place to chill with friends, food and refreshing beverages.

On June 3 we celebrated the re-opening of the much anticipated Outdoor Pool, Hot Tub and new Standalone Water Slide.

Friday night we left our formal attire at home. We donned flower shirts and grass skirts to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of all those involved in the expansion. We finished the night by sending Al Chapman, President of The Board, flying down the waterslide to “christen” it.

Saturday morning we opened the doors at 9 am to an excited crowd. They burst in to bask in the morning sun and get wet.

Pool staff took their places around the deck and atop the slide, while members of all ages found their lounge chairs and applied their sunscreen. With the sweet smell of coconut in the air and thumping island vibes playing from the audio system, the poolside zone came to life as adrenaline-powered “kids” of all ages zipped down the slide, screaming in fear and delight!

As the sun got hotter and more intense, lifeguards distributed artisan popsicles as a taste of what the new LIDO will offer.

There were mini donut popsicles, too, contributing to the carnival-like atmosphere. By the afternoon timeslots, we had reached capacity. There were 125 members enjoying refreshments and jumping into the pool.

48 glencoe.org

As the sun set behind the new expansion, underwater lights transformed the scene from “hot summer action” to “warm evening wind-down.” Before we put the cover on the pool for the night, we took a few moments to teach willing participants how to hula while the final few riders splashed into the water from the slide.

Sunday morning we re-opened at 9 am and began the rhythms again. Some of our favourite weekend highlights included multigenerational hula lessons (including some cute, though intense, two year old learners), kids crafts, and the surprise reactions of members riding a slide with more speed and exit “oomph” than they had imagined.

Members came not only to swim but also to “just sit” with friends and take a break, poolside. Staff said they loved creating the relaxing environment and looked for ways to accommodate people even more.

The opening weekend at the pool kicked off the summer with a splash! “Thank you” to everyone who came out. You made it an unforgettable weekend and we hope it was a taste of what’s in store for the rest of Summer 2016. A

New Pool & Waterslide Same great benefits of swimming!

by Jamie Tolan

S

ummer’s here and The Glencoe Club’s newly renovated outdoor pool and waterslide are open!

Isn’t it time to get a new bathing suit, flip flops and sunscreen at the Pro Shop and come for a swim?

• There are many ways to get active: Join an Aquafitness class or Master Swim practice. Try water jogging or go for an easy swim. You’ll never be bored with the different aquatic workouts available at the pool. You can swim lengths, learn a new stroke or add some butterfly. If water jogging is your style, drop into an Aqua Intensity class and pick up the pace!

• Sore joints? Doctors often recommend swimming as a low impact, high energy activity for active people trying to get more exercise with less damaging impact.

• All you need is your swimsuit! Expensive equipment is for other sports! At the Club, we have everything you need to help enhance your workout: paddles, flippers, aquabelts and flutterboards.

• Swimming is one of the very best total body workouts. You tone your muscles as the water resists your motion, and the constant movements required to stay afloat also keep you pumped, with your heart rate up for cardio benefits. If you’re swimming to tone specific muscles, you can switch up your stroke without changing lanes.

• Swimming helps build lung capacity and endurance.

You get more of a workout in the water than you do running on a treadmill. There’s more breathing control required and this increases the demand for oxygen, causing your muscles to work harder.

• When the days really heat up during the summer, the pool is the place to be and the place to beat the heat while getting a workout. You don’t need to be training for Rio to get the workout you want. And if the heat, a great tan and some vitamin D is what the doctor has ordered for you after the winter blues, hit the outdoor pool deck. Stretch out, relax and catch some rays. A

GLENCOE ABLE an accessible place for ALL members

by Jamie Tolan

A

lready known as Canada's premier private sports and social club, The Glencoe Club features programs and services for all members of the family. Now we’re taking our promise of accessible, quality programming to an even higher level with the introduction of the inclusive Glencoe Able initiative.

With on average 4% of all Canadian Jamie Tolan children having some form of activity Aquatics Director limitation (Participation and Activity 403-287-4138 Limitation Survey, 2001), we want to jtolan@glencoe.org ensure that everyone can participate in our programs.

The initiative has already been launched in Aquatics and will now be offered through more departments across the Club. We’ll introduce standalone programming as well as inclusive adaptations to our existing programs.

Currently, Aquatics offers one-on-one lessons for children with disabilities to develop skills that enable them to perform a self-rescue and meet the minimum requirements to train with the Gators. Level One introduces participants to buoyancy, movement, safe entries and swimming basics with assisted floats and glides. By Level Five, participants will be able to perform all skills comfortably in deep water while working towards a 25-50 meter continuous swim and 30 seconds of surface support.

The benefits of physical activities for participants with disabilities are paramount to their health. Participation in sports for children with disabilities promotes inclusion and minimized deconditioning.

It optimizes physical functioning and enhances overall wellbeing (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2008). Participants interact with others and create friendships. These interactions strengthen friendship ties and create memories, enhancing the legacy of families at The Glencoe Club.

Physical activity releases energizing and mood-enhancing endorphins. Disabled people are often prescribed physical activity to combat depression. Specifically in participants with ADHD, exercise reduces symptoms by increasing dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin levels in the brain to improve concentration, motivation, memory and mood. (HelpGuide.org).

52 glencoe.org

We strive to have the best facilities, programs and experiences for members of all ages and abilities.

With the recent expansion of the Fitness and outdoor pool area, the addition of the Climbing Centre and Play Zone, our facilities have grown and now we’re working to make them accessible to everyone by addressing gaps and opportunities.

We’ve successfully delivered private integration training in the past but we also realize that we can do even better. Glencoe Able will formalize and standardize our approach to working with people who need a higher level of support.

With one in 100 Albertans living with an identified disability, the need for Glencoe adaptive programming has never been more important. If you’d like to learn more about Glencoe Able or inquire about adding a program, please contact Jamie Tolan, our Aquatics Director at 403-287-4114 or jtolan@glencoe.org. A

Enjoy climbing adventures of all levels.

❷ Tower of Babel

J

une is my favourite month of the year because it’s the true start of the outdoor climbing season. Long days melt the snow that’s lingering on the peaks and dry out the climbs for a new season. Spring flowers are often in full bloom through meadows and forests below the climbs. Mornings still offer a refreshing crispness followed by pleasant daytime highs in the teens to low twenties.

Having climbed extensively throughout North Derek Wilding America, I can honestly say we’re fortunate, as Calgarians, Director of Climbing and to have some of the best climbing on the continent in Outdoor Programming our own backyard. The rugged limestone peaks and 403-287-4138 dwilding@glencoe.org waterworn canyons of the Rockies between Calgary and Jasper offer easily accessible climbs of varying lengths and difficulty levels for climbers of all abilities.

This summer, I’m excited to share the experience, challenge and perspective that outdoor climbing offers members of The Glencoe Club. Whether you’re young or old, a curious first-timer, an experienced indoor climber or a veteran in the mountain environment, my team and I are here to ensure your outdoor adventures are safe and memorable. Get in touch with us any time to discuss your climbing goals and we’ll build a program that will enable you to achieve them.

We’re excited to announce that we now offer small group outdoor climbing events in Kananaskis. If you’re looking for a corporate retreat to get your team out of the city to improve teamwork and build trust, try climbing! Our sites and venues are suitable for novices with no experience, all technical equipment is provided and bagged lunch and barbeque catering are also available. A 54 glencoe.org

Where did the decline sit-up bench go with the new Fitness Centre expansion?

by Ken Clarke

S

ince we moved back into the expanded Fitness Facility, I’ve received a number of comments, concerns and suggestions about our space and its equipment. We’ve saved each written comment to help us to make decisions moving forward.

Although we can’t satisfy every request for a specific piece of equipment, we’re Ken Clarke always listening and we’ll do our best Fitness Director to provide alternative gear or solutions 403-287-4169 wherever we can. kclarke@glencoe.org The one piece of equipment we’ve heard the most about so far is the decline sit-up bench. You’ve asked why it wasn’t re-installed in the facility. Our research told us it was unsafe, with the potential for serious injury, so, in the interest of member safety and our philosophy of “do no harm,” we decided not to bring it back.

Sit-ups have come under fire recently because of their connection to back pain and back injuries. From a kinesiology standpoint, sit-ups involve spinal flexion in the lumbar spine region but can (and often do) involve the thoracic spine and cervical spine, too.

University of Waterloo professor Dr. Stuart McGill is author of three books and nearly 200 scientific papers on back pain.

He has discovered that continual flexing of the spine with sit-ups can deteriorate the spine and cause chronic pain and weakness. Every sit-up performed can bring you closer to a potential disc injury.

Flexion movement of the spine strains the layers of collagen in the spinal discs. When loads on the spine are small, movement is healthy. With larger loads and repeated flexion motion, the collagen fibers separate from each other, causing them to weaken. This gradually causes the disc nucleus to break through in the form of a disc bulge. The greater the load and repetitive motion, the faster this will occur.

We often add load (weights) to increase resistance for muscle gain. Sometimes we hold a weight plate on our chests while executing a sit-up. Load can also be increased by changing body position. In a decline position you’d add load against gravity to execute the same movement. All of this effort is, in fact, dangerous. It can promote disc failure.

56 glencoe.org

Our research told us it was unsafe, with the potential for serious injury, so, in the interest of member safety and our philosophy of “do no harm,” we decided not to bring it back.

Another important consideration is what happens with the psoas, a hip flexor muscle that runs from the front of the upper thigh to the lower back. The contraction of this muscle tilts the pelvis forward and down, which may cause discomfort and pain. It can also increase the compressive forces on the discs.

This problem is compounded when the feet are anchored, so this practice should be avoided.

Bending the legs and flaring the knees out are ways used to reduce the involvement of the hip flexors, but this simply works them through a shorter range of motion.

We stopped teaching people to do crunches a long, long time ago,” says Dr. Richard Guyer, president of the Texas Back Institute. That’s because the “full flex” movement – the actual “crunch” part of crunches – puts an unhealthy strain on your back at its weakest point. The section with the most nerves (and most potential for nerve damage) is in the back of the spine, which is the very part that bends and strains during a sit-up.

Think of the oft-repeated advice for movers: bend at the hips and lift with your legs, not your back. And what is a sit-up but a back bend done in a lying position? “When people are doing curl ups over gym balls and sit-ups, and this kind of thing, they are replicating a very potent injury mechanism on their back,” says McGill. “Every time they bend it they are one repetition closer to damaging the disk.”

R ECR EATION

A very simple exercise to increase the activation of the core muscles is a front plank. Resting on your toes press up on the elbows until your body is supported in a straight line from your ankles through your knees and hips to your shoulders and ears. Keep the feet close together and the elbows directly under the shoulders. Hold the position for as long as feels comfortable to start gradually adding time up to 30 – 45 seconds each time.

A slightly more advanced position is to raise up into a push-up plank maintaining the same straight line posture through the body. Once you are stable, try lifting one hand off the floor and touching it to the opposite shoulder while maintaining the solid body position. You may need to keep your feet apart when you first attempt this exercise. Lifting one hand will cause the body to drop or rotate. Properly executed you will keep the spine straight and resist the rotation and drop. For a further challenge alternate hand lifts without twisting.

Doing a sit-up doesn’t train your ab muscles to do the job for which they were designed – keeping your spine straight and secure and providing power for your movements. In everyday life, “the abdominals are braces,” says McGill, author of "Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance" (Stuart McGill, 2004).

When doing any athletic movement – even opening a door – “the spine is in a neutral posture, not flexed, and the abdominal muscles are contracted to brace the spine.”

The Canadian Armed Forces recently cut the sit-up from its fitness test, citing concern over potential injury and its lack of connection to actual military work.

A study of 1,500 U.S. Army soldiers found that 56% of the injuries related to the Army’s three-part physical fitness test were attributed to sit-ups.

And a recent editorial in Navy Times, an independent publication that covers the U.S. Navy, called for banishing the sit-up from the physical-readiness test sailors must pass twice each year. The editorial called it “an outdated exercise today viewed as a key cause of lower back injuries.”

Pete McCall, spokesman for the American Council on Exercise, says he encourages alternative exercises for abdominal muscles. He calls the sit-up “an antiquity of exercise best left in the dust bin of fitness history.”

Knowing all of this, we couldn’t install equipment that encouraged members to put their spines at risk of serious injury.

We looked at the research and we made the call. We decided not to install the sit-up bench in the new Fitness Centre. A

The general consensus in the medical literature suggests that the most effective prevention strategy involves three components: ❶ Effective medical treatment of any underlying disease or condition that might increase the risk of losing balance. ❷ Exercise to improve balance and ability to recover from a loss of balance quickly. ❸ Identification and modification of any risk factor in the home, office or outdoors that might trigger a loss of balance.

The Glencoe Club and Heavens Fitness are committed to the health and well-being of their members and, in accordance with the Alberta Heath Falls Prevention Program, have developed and designed the new Movement Matters program offered by the Fitness Centre. This program includes specific progressive exercises and education to build confidence, core stability, balance, strength and mobility in a safe and supportive environment.

The good news is that falls are not a normal part of aging and many falls are preventable. We invite you to take action to stay active and independent in order to prevent a fall before it happens. As we like to say, "Movement Matters!" A

Tips for an injury-free summer.

by Judy Morey

S

mmer is here. As you dust off the golf clubs, lace up the hiking boots or haul out the waterskis, take a second to think about injury prevention.

In our haste to enjoy a season that feels like it’s here one minute and gone the next, we often forget what a quick injury can do: Render us temporarily or permanently handicapped to enjoy the season!

Judy Morey Physiotherapist 403-287-4170 jmorey@glencoe.org

What could possibly go wrong?

If you fail to train or even warm-up before games and activities, here’s what can happen, sport by sport (a few favourites):

Golf: Studies suggest that from 40-60% of golfers sustain a golf related injury each year, nearly all of them related to poor technique or faulty swing mechanics. The most common golf-related injuries are overuse or repetitive strain injuries to the lower back, shoulders, elbow and/or wrists. Many of these injuries are caused by the unique twisting forces and combination of movements that a golf swing applies to the body.

Hiking & Walking: Long distance treks can lead to extreme soreness in the hip and knee areas. Hikers have the added challenge of uneven terrain. As a result, slips or falls are all too common. Too much too soon can lead to knee injuries including iliotibial band syndrome, patellar tendonitis, bursitis or blisters. Ill-fitting and poorly loaded packs can lead to lower and upper back strain and can be dangerous during falls.

Waterskiing: Classified as an adventure sport, waterskiing and wakeboarding have become worldwide favourites. Often the air and water acrobatics can lead to accidents and injuries. Back muscle pain is common.

Immediate attention and proper treatment after minor injuries can ensure you’re ready to start or return to a sport of high flying water excitement.

What to do if you're injured: Given the physical benefits of activity, getting back out there is paramount. Physiotherapists can help you return to your favourite activity, pain-free and without injury. Careful recovery will prevent new problems from becoming chronic and will help you to enjoy activity for years to come. If you're injured, invest in rest and physiotherapy treatment.

At the Club we have Golf Professionals to help you with your swing and personal trainers to help you develop a program that meets your goals. Our Glencoe Physiotherapy services can also help you to modify your swing, activate disengaged muscles and ensure you're able to participate for years to come.

STRETCH

WARM-UP

GOLF

HIKING & WALKING

WATERSKIING

Start with general aerobic activity like walking for 10 minutes, then hit a few balls at the practice range.

On the practice tee, start with short irons, then long irons, woods and finally your driver. Practice using gentle swings. Warming up in this sequence lets your body get used to the movements of a swing before you add resistance with a heavier club. If you have the opportunity, practice on natural turf. Since a natural golf swing involves a degree of contact between the club and the ground, practicing on artificial surfaces may increase stress to the wrists and elbows, leading to injury.

Before you hike (especially after a long drive) start with movements in all directions such as multi-directional lunges. Step to 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock to increase the blood flow and range of motion in the hips, knees and ankles. Let your depth gradually increase with each round until you feel ready to take on the height in front of you. Include some back range of motion activities like slow spinal twisting to increase blood flow and undo any initial tension in the spine. Ensure your backpack fits your body, use the hip belt and carry an appropriate amount of weight for your body and ability.

Because you’re pulling with your upper body, and pushing against the water with your lower body, the place where they connect – your core – needs to be solid. Balance work before you hit the water will start to fire up the core. Stand on one leg and lower down and up into a semi-single leg squat position to warm up the hips, legs and core.

Bring a light tubing with you to the lake and wrap it around a tree or pole for a few quick rows to activate the upper back and arms. Add standing on one leg to once again get the balance and core ready to drop a ski.

As part of your warm-up, be sure to stretch your upper body, back, wrists, shoulders and lower back.

Stretching should not be painful.

Focus on gradually increasing your range of movement and hold each stretch for 10 to 20 seconds without bouncing. Stretching your legs is never a bad idea, especially if you will be walking. If you play 18 holes, you'll walk about 5 km. That’s good, according to the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines for Adults, which call for 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity each week.

Include hip, thigh and calf stretches or mobility work to help ensure you have full range of motion for some spring in your step. Be sure to include upper body and back stretches, especially if you'll be carrying a heavy pack. By either holding the stretches for 10 to 20 seconds or by moving in and out of a stretch slowly five or six times, you'll ensure you release any tension in your muscles before you begin.

When you get back to the car, target the same areas to ensure the muscles relax and release any lactate build-up.

Start with dynamic stretches to take the joints through a full range of motion. This will prepare the body for movements used during skiing and will raise body temperature.

Leg swings from front to back or in figure 8s, shoulder circles or yoga sun salutations are examples of dynamic stretches to use before waterskiing. Afterwards, ensure you include forearm and upper back stretches. Hip stretches such as the buttocks stretch will allow you to recover from that deep squat needed to get up into position.

When the sun is shining and the opportunity arises, you may just want to play those 18 holes whether you’re prepared or not. Acting on that impulse increases your chance of getting injured due to unfamiliar overuse of muscles and fatigue, which can lead to poor technique and injury. You will get more out of golf season if you gradually build up your time on the course.

Work up to distances with a training plan. If you’re carrying a heavy backpack, build up and train with this load (or up to 10 lbs more) before you go out.

Trekking poles or hiking sticks can help balance you and support your joints.

Be careful when fatigue sets in. It may hinder awareness of body movements as you walk over uneven terrain. Try to let distances and heights increase slowly so you finish before you hit this point.

Remember that you need more than strong legs to hike. Your lower and upper back and abdominals are key to being able to carry a good posture, especially if you are carrying a backpack.

Poor lower back and core strength and endurance capacity can lead to lower back pain while trying to balance the position. Ensure you include a dry land core stability program that includes dynamic balance techniques from one leg to the other. Move through the endless variety of planks to create strength all the way around the torso. From front to side to one leg to one arm planks, there is lots to incorporate and stability exercises can be done virtually anywhere. A

by Barbara Consul

Barbara Consul Childcare & Preschool Director 403-287-4109 bconsul@glencoe.org

Childcare Vision As trained childcare providers, our goal is to provide a fun, caring, stimulating and safe environment for children.

We believe all children are individuals who deserve respect for their individual needs and varying levels of development. Children learn through play.

Each child in our care is assisted in their social, intellectual, emotional and physical development.

68 glencoe.org

Q: W hat do I need to do prior to my first visit?

A: Before entering our care, children must be registered.

A Childcare Registration form must be completed and returned to a Childcare employee for our reference. These can be obtained on The Glencoe Club website or from Childcare employees. If your child is under a year old, ensure that you have called ahead to book a time for his or her visit. If your infant or toddler uses a bottle or soother, you are welcome to send it in with them.

Other things you can do to make the adjustment easier for your child are: • Visit Childcare with your child, introduce them to their caregivers, and show them the toys and activities they’ll enjoy while in care.

• Explain to your child that they’ll be going to Childcare to make new friends and enjoy some play time while you are exercising or meeting friends for coffee.

• Plan short visits for the first couple of weeks and gradually build onto that time as your child becomes more familiar and comfortable with his or her new surroundings. We recommend coming every other day, starting with 15 minute visits, then increasing the amount of time as your child’s comfort and confidence develops.

Q: What will my children do during their stay in Childcare?

A: Children in Childcare and Drop-In Preschool will interact with their peers and Childcare providers, and participate in a variety of activities such as: • Painting and creative art • Puzzles and game play • Drama and dress-up • Group story time, songs and games • Trips to the squash courts, parks and indoor playground

SERVICES

Q: What do we provide?

A: We provide children with a snack consisting of apple juice and digestive cookies at 10 am, 2 pm, 4 pm and 6 pm. We also provide all diaper changing supplies as children in care are changed an hour after their arrival or sooner if needed.

Q: What training and qualifications do the Childcare and Drop-In Preschool employees have?

A: A ll Childcare and Drop-In Preschool employees are trained and recruited following The Glencoe Club Employment Practices, which include a formal interview. References are checked, a Police Background is completed and Vulnerable Sector Check is received.

Childcare providers have the following: • Formal post-secondary education in Early Childhood Care and Education or related field • Certification by Government of Alberta, Child and Family Services as (minimum level) Child Development Assistant • Certification in First Aid, CPR, AED and WHIMS • Completed in-house training in Child Protection, Health, Safety and the Environment and The Glencoe Club Emergency Procedures • Previous experience in group childcare

PRESCHOOL REGISTRATION At The Glencoe Club Preschool, it is our guiding belief that children flourish in a safe, positive and caring environment. We aim to provide an environment that honours diversity, promotes healthy life habits and grows divergent thinking skills, while fostering positive social and emotional bonds.

Battling the Lily Beetle Many of you have been asking me “What happened to my lilies?” Lily beetles are quickly infiltrating Calgary. With no natural predators, they’re destroying our precious and beautiful lilies. Asiatic lilies are the most vulnerable. Martagon and Oriental lilies are currently in less danger. Day lilies aren’t affected. These very pretty, bright red beetles are pure evil! In my opinion, these are an exception to my earlier statement that all insects have some importance in this world. The sole purpose of these devil bugs is to voraciously devour and rapidly reproduce.

Here are some tips to assist you with your battle against them: 1. Hand picking can be very effective if you have a few precious plants. For adult bugs wear nitrile or latex gloves and crush with fingers or a pair of pliers. You can also coax bugs off leaves and into a jar of soapy water. You’ll need to be vigilant and fast!

The bugs will drop off leaves and onto their backs, black belly up, as soon as they sense movement, making them impossible to spot in the soil. Each mature adult can lay 450 eggs. Eggs can be found on the underside of leaves. These tiny orange to red to brown eggs can be crushed or leaves removed and dropped into soapy water.

They hatch within one to two weeks. Larvae eggs hatch hundreds at a time into the ugliest larvae you can imagine. They look like small brown, slimy, warty slugs. The slime is their own excrement that is piled on their backs as a shield. These slippery, rubbery, disgusting larvae are not easily destroyed by squishing and trust me, you don’t even want to try. Remove affected leaves and, again, drop into soapy water.

2. Neem oil or horticultural oil is botanical insecticide and can kill early stage larvae and repel some adults. The fecal shield unfortunately protects older larvae. Other pesticides (containing imidacloprid) are not recommended as they are linked to honey bee death. They cause nectar and pollen of the lily to become toxic to bees.

3. Used coffee grounds. A large handful or cup of used coffee grounds piled on each bulb as it emerges is said to disrupt the insects’ ability to find the lilies as it masks the smell from pervious infestations and adds acidity to soil, which lilies love!

4. Diatomaceous earth on the soil around lilies can kill emerging adults. The sharp silica particles scratch and disrupt the natural waxy coating on them as they emerge from soil and ultimately cause them to dry up.

Good luck with your war against these red devil bugs. You will need to be diligent!

Enjoy Golf with Your Family at The Glencoe Golf & Country Club

by Natasha Sawatsky

e continue to see reasonable membership sales for the 2016 season. As we move through the season, we hope to see you out with your families, enjoying the Club and taking advantage of some of the special events we have planned for you.

It’s not too late to add your family members to your golf account. If you’d still like to add a spouse or child to your account for the 2016 season, no problem! Simply touch base with the Membership Office at either Club and we’ll give you a form to quickly fill out. Return it to myself or Leigh Gerard via email (lgerard@glencoe.org), or in person to either Club. We’ll go ahead and prorate your dues too. If you’ve already removed a spouse or child, no problem, we can add them back (full dues will apply).

At this time, we have about a seven-month waiting list for new golf memberships. Glencoe members are automatically approved and we can usually get you on course within two or three business days. The courses are in excellent condition and we have some fabulous events coming up.
