equipment back to its original spot, not moving the equipment to other parts of the gym and a general respect of the equipment you are using. Thank you to those who are helping keep these common practices up in our facility. If you see someone who is not, please remind them of these. It takes little effort to help maintain a clean environment for you to work out in. www.thelakesatrockyridge.com Community Newsletter February, February, 2015 Letter from the Editor…Candace Hughes [email protected] 403-239-6400 Now that we have January behind us, you know what that means? We are just that much closer to spring!! ☺ There have been a few changes here at the Lake Club as of late. First, the company that did our maintenance in the fitness centre was bought out by SOS Fitness. SOS Fitness will continue to work with us to ensure all the equipment in the gym is working optimally. Second, we have also hired a new cleaning company that I know will do a great job maintaining the Lake Club to a high standard. As we go forward I would like to thank those who have adhered to the “No Outdoor Shoes” rule in the fitness centre. Fitness Centre etiquette is the same here, as it would be in any centre; removal of outdoor shoes, wiping down the equipment after use, returning used I do appreciate the donation of magazines that are being dropped off in the fitness centre and the book donations in the games room. However, our community does not have the room or the clientele to house any more hard cover books or any type of encyclopedia. Please recycle these books elsewhere. If you are donating books, please place them in the basket. Thank you. The Victory Church will be in again on Wednesday, February 11th at 11:00am in the theatre. Everyone is welcome. Please check the activity page for details on all the activities and events going on at the Lake Club. We had a great turn out for the slide show presentation on Partners Relief and Development last month. The Monday morning Ladies Social Group has once again done our community proud with donating over 150 toques and blankets to this much needed cause. FEBRUARY ACTIVITIES Book Club – Theatre 7:00 PM Tuesday, February 3rd “A State of Wonder” By Ann Patchet. Dr. Marina Singh, a research scientist with a Minnesota pharmaceutical company, is sent to the Amazon to find her former mentor, Dr. Annick Swenson, who seems to have disappeared while working on a new drug. No one knows where Dr. Swenson is, and the last person sent to find her died before completing his mission. Plagued by trepidation, Marina embarks on an odyssey in hopes of finding answers. Now in her seventies, the uncompromising Dr. Swenson dominates her research team and the natives with the force of an imperial ruler. But while she is as threatening as anything the jungle has to offer, the greatest sacrifices are those Dr. Swenson asks of herself, and will ultimately ask of Marina, who finds she is still unable to live up to her teacher’s expectations. Replete with poison arrows, devouring snakes, and cannibals, State of Wonder is a tale that leads you into the very heart of darkness, and then shows what lies on the other side. Family Movie-Theatre Sunday, February 15th at 3:00pm “Book of Life” 2014 (95 min) Manolo, a young man who is torn between fulfilling the expectations of his family and following his heart, embarks on an adventure that spans three fantastic worlds where he must face his greatest fears.

First of all, we would like to welcome Brad Lohman, the Operations Manager from the Manor Village, as the new Manors representative on our Board. The last representative left Statesman in October, leaving the Manors without a representative on the Board. Secondly, we have new cleaning staff in the Lake Club. Megtaph Cleaning, whose staff has been cleaning the Pavilions over the past several years, has taken over the contract – beginning on a short term basis, until the Board can finalize a longer term contract. Because of the situation which has closed down the steam room, there was some concern about air quality in the gym. To ensure the health of our residents is protected, the Board commissioned an Air Quality Test by a certified tester be completed. As those of you who use the gym will note, an area between the lockers and the west bathroom has been sealed off. This is a result of the air quality report. Per that report, if that area is sealed off, there is no threat to the health of our residents. And, again, once some legal issues are settled, the renovation of that area will be tackled. Snow removed from Rocky Vista Gardens was being stored on our property to the east of Brownstones II as a result of a misunderstanding in communications with RimRock, our snow removal company. The City has given the Villas and Brownstones II permission to store snow on the volleyball courts. Storage to the east of the Brownstones II will no longer occur now that the exact location has been communicated to RimRock. While the landscaped area next to the Brownstones II would be ideal for storage, it does present a liability to us and it also is very hard on our landscaping, causing an increase in costs to rehabilitate the area. That's it for now. Based on what the Board is working on, we'll have more news for you next month. Enjoy our winter while you can, especially the great outdoors! HEALTHY LIFESTYLES Easy Weeknight Stir-fry Stir-frying is a quick and easy way to cook vegetables so that they retain their vibrant color and healthful nutrients. This recipe combines cancerfighting broccoli, protein-rich pork and the nutty crunch of cashews.
