The Spring Opener held this past Sunday, April 26, at the Tennis Courts was, in a word, terrific. The weather outfoxed the weathermen and took a very pleasant turn for the better. The weather had been lousy with rain all day Saturday into the early hours of Sunday, with forecasts calling for blustery winds and possible follow-on showers. By 3 pm the skies were clear, the air was cool and the courts were dry. It was a perfect day for tennis, and for a celebration of the Spring fitness season. It was a great opportunity to showcase the “Heart of Woodlake.”The event was open to the entire communi-ty and guests from outside Woodlake were also invited to attend. Estimates of the crowd at the courts ranged from 300 to 400 attendees over the course of the afternoon. Woodlake’s new Director of Tennis, Rene Mendoza, was on hand to greet the attendees, along with Teaching Pros Greet France, the new arrival John DiNardi, and former teaching Pro Ernie Locsin, who came back to assist with the event. The attendees were also introduced to Jennifer Brefeld, the WSRC Programming Coordinator, who was in charge of event coordination, and members of the Woodlake Tennis Association Board of Directors who provided volun-teer support for this event. Everyone enjoyed taking advantage of a variety of tennis games on 4 newly resurfaced clay courts. Junior and adult participants had the oppor-tunity to win prizes for accuracy and ball placement. The “King of the Court” contest stayed busy right up to the start of the exhibition match. The little ones enjoyed face painting and an old-time popcorn cart, hosted by Victoria Scriven, Gabby Marmolejos and Claudia Pagan. Sno-Balls
returned this year and were served by Missy Keyser. Greet’s Cake Table was one of the busiest spots at the event, with happy forks and faces all around. Everyone was treated to exercise dem-onstrations of Pound by Mika Mingee and Juli Redding-ton and Insanity by Matt Conti, and a Pickle ball dem-onstration by Linda Scott and Don Love. To cap off the evening, a tennis exhibition featuring Michael Cinzek

Tennis Club.New for 2015! The WTA has created the WTA Lifetime Achievement Award. This year the special honor was made by the WTA Board to honor the individual who has shown longstanding and constant support and partici-pation in the Club making a lasting contribution to the membership experience and to the life of the Club as a whole. The first ever recipient of this recognition is Jeanean Phelps, who is being recog-nized for her tireless support of Woodlake Tennis through-out the entire life of her mem-bership. The award honors her exemplary service as a Women’s USTA captain every year for over 15 years, result-ing in several teams going to Districts; her active role in getting new members intro-duced to, and playing with, other members of the Club; and her ambassadorship on behalf of Woodlake Tennis everywhere she goes. The Club will rename Court 5 as the Jeanean Phelps Court in her honor. Way to go Jeanean! Thank you for your service and advocacy!The event slowed down by 8:30pm with some attendees staying to socialize more, enjoy the night air, and take in an impromptu doubles match that followed the Exhibi-tion. What a great way to start off the season. For those
of you who are in-terested in learning, playing or improving your performance in the great game of tennis, we have an entire season of fun and great opportu-nities ahead of us this year. Be sure to introduce yourselves to John DiNardi or speak with Rene Mendoza by call-ing the Tennis Hut at 739-4120. If you
would like to join the Tennis Club (or up-grade your WSRC membership in any way), please give a call to the Membership Office at the Aquatic Center. Please go to the Wood-lakeonline.com, WSRC Tennis homepage for information, schedules and contact infor-mation. We will be glad to help!submitted by Sean McElgunn, Secretary of Woodlake Ten-nis Association (WTA)

and John DiNardi against one of our star Junior players, Paul Mendoza and his partner Cesar Grobel. The hard-fought match went to Mendoza and Grobel and was complimented by stellar play-by-play sports commentary present-ed by our very own Alan Renkin.
Given the weather that we’ve experienced for the first part of 2015, the wry comment was made by someone (nameless) that the Opener would take place “when pigs fly”… and fly they did! The Flyin’ Pig, one of the many annual sponsors of Woodlake Tennis, prepared a delicious selection of pork and chicken barbecues. The hungry participants also had plenty of potato salad, garden salad and coleslaw to choose from and enjoyed by all. The cash bar, set-up by Moonstruck, LLC, was staffed by Dee Wade and fiancé John Lemley. They definitely kept busy throughout the evening. Our local resident entertainer,
Bruce Shappe, provided music throughout the evening introducing the crowd to a variety of genres. Our annual WTA Raffle (with lovely and useful prizes!) had several winners: Micheline Lachapelle won the Grand Prize, which included a sporty Tennis bag filled with an assortment of useful tennis items valued over $175. Other winners included Susan Groome, Roger Yauchzy, Karen O’Donnell, Eric El-bert, Rick Sherman and… Wes Gumulak won twice! It does pay off to buy more than one ticket! Mary Es-tes’ tireless sales pitch resulted in a very good turnout of ticket buyers. Thank you, Mary, for being instrumental in getting the crowd motivated!The Woodlake Tennis Association uses this annual event as the backdrop for presentation of Sportsperson of the Year recognition to an individual Club member who has provided significant time and support to Club activities, and whose involvement in the tennis program has advanced and improved the Club. This year’s nominees for Sportsperson of the Year were: Peggy McEl-gunn, Danny O’Neill and Jim Ritter.
Congratulations are at hand for Jim Ritter, who was named the Woodlake Tennis Sportsperson of the Year, for his service as unofficial chronologer/photographer for the Club, for helping Rene Mendoza grow the Junior Tennis program over several years, and for his ongoing support as a Board Member of the WTA. For those of you who do not know, Woodlake Junior Tennis has be-come a recognized “brand” throughout the Greater Rich-mond area clubs, with juniors from our Club advancing to quarterfinals, semifinals and Championships in several local and regional tournaments. Our teams are known and admired as much for their courtesy and sportsman-
ship as for their winning ways, both on and off the courts. Congratulations to Jim, on this well-deserved recognition! To honor Jim, and in keeping with our tradition, the Club will be planting a tree in his honor on the grounds of the

The Shelter Cove and Harbour Park parking lots are the private property of the WCA and are regularly patrolled to ensure availability of parking spaces for residents' use. Parking in these lots requires a current park-ing permit to be displayed at all times. If you will be using a boat, walking or running on the measured trails, or taking the kids to Legacy Park or Tom Sawyer's Island, you'll need a resident parking permit.
Parking permits are free to all Woodlake residents, with a photo ID bearing your Woodlake address. If you haven't got-ten around to changing the address on your ID yet, just bring it AND a recent bill that shows your name and Woodlake address AND your vehicle registration.

FiSHing reporTSwift Creek Reservoir: May
submitted by Charlie Machek
Report: April turned out to be a great fishing month, and I saw many fellow fisherman/woman/children fishing from boats, pontoons, kayaks, and on the bank. I hope everybody who gave it a try had some success.
For May, the Largemouth Bass will continue to be in the peak of their spawning season. They will be building nests in the shallow areas around the entire lake. This can be an extremely fun time to fish for bass, but can also be frustrating. This is the time of year when almost the entire lakes population of bass are in the shallow coves and bays of the lake, making them catchable with a wide variety of lures. Soft plastic lures such as worms, craws, creatures, and lizards can be effec-tively fished on a texas rig. Trick worms, and Senko style baits fished weightless around the bank, or cover will also work very well. May is also one of the best months for throwing a topwater bait. A zara spook, buzzbait, or popper will give you the most fun fishing of your life. Target shallow points, or fan cast them around the many bays along the shore.
Last month some native vegeta-tion started to re-emerge, and if you find some, it can hold good populations of fish. The hydrilla may begin to grow this month as well, despite the re-stocking of grass carp this April, and if it does, that is almost guaranteed to hold the best populations of both baitfish, and bass. It will not reach anywhere near the water surface, so locating it can be tough. I have been a strong
advocate for keeping a healthy, natural amount of vegeta-tion in the lake, and with a lower number of carp being introduced this year, I am hopeful they will not leave the lake bottom muddly and bare, as was the case in 2010 until last year. Later in the month of May, most of the bass will enter what we call the “post spawn” phase of the year. This is where they have exerted all of their energy during the spawning process, and are attempting to feed to restore their strength. Swimbaits, spinnerbaits, and the lures mentioned above will all produce. This is an extremely important month for fish care and catch and
release, allowing these fish to create a new generation of baby bass. May will be another great month to fish from the stop-a-whiles spread around the lake, as well as the areas around the Woodlake pavilion.
Panfish: The Crappie have also begun their spawning sea-son, and can be caught spread throughout the lake. They will typically be in shallower water, but any steeper bank with brush or wood can also work. Minnows, tiny curly grubs, and tiny tubes on jigheads will all produce. The brim will likely begin to spawn by the end of the month, and can be found in large groups super shallow. They prepare many nests tightly grouped together, and can be caught on a variety of baits, the most effective being earth worms. So take a kid fishing, practice catch and release, and I’ll see you out on the water!
If you have questions feel free to contact me by email, or social media. Tag me in your fish catch photos, and I’ll hap-pily share it, or include it in the next fishing report.

Rene Mendoza Named Director of TennisWoodlake Swim & Racquet Club is pleased to announce Rene Mendoza has been named the Director of Tennis.
As Head Tennis Pro for the past nine years, we are fortu-nate many of our members and residents are already acquainted with Rene.
While Head Pro, Rene de-veloped the junior and adult programs at the club. He in-creased the visibility of the WSRC’s junior program and gained recognition as leading one of the top junior pro-grams in the Richmond area. His program has produced Division 1 and Division 3 college players. Additionally, Rene quadrupled the number of junior teams that repre-sent Woodlake in the local leagues. As Head Tennis Pro, Rene also worked to promote adult tennis at Woodlake. With Rene, adult USTA teams have consistently repre-sented Woodlake in District and Regional competitions.
Rene has resided in Woodlake since 2000 with his wife Sandy, daughter Olivia and son Paul. He looks forward to continuing the proud tradition of exceptional tennis at Woodlake while bringing it to even greater levels.
The WSRC and Rene Mendoza, Director of Tennis, are proud to announce Tennis Pros Brad Thomas, USPTA and John DiNardi IV, USPTR have joined our team.
Brad was most recently director of Operations for Midlothian Tennis Club and had direct involvement with all facets of the club, including tournaments, socials, lessons, and clinics. At the WSRC he will be teaching tennis lessons and clinics for adults and juniors of all ages and
levels, stringing racquets, and running social events and tourna-ments. Brad will also be supervising the Tennis maintenance department.
John was formerly the Director at U-Turn Sports Performance Center as well as the coach for the Powhatan High School Boy’s Tennis Team, where he spent the past seven years developing the program. He will primarily be teaching the evening and weekend adult and junior clinics at the WSRC.
Brad and John will bring energy and enthusiasm to our program, and we are excited to wel-come them to the Woodlake Tennis team.

What can a personal trainer do for you? It turns out, a lot. Woodlake Swim & Racquet Club’s certified personal trainers are here to provide you with a safe and effec-tive exercise program tailored to meet the needs of your life and physical abilities.
Your trainer will listen to your fitness goals and develop a pro-gram that fits your life, your time and your personality using vari-ous training methods. A personal trainer can assist you with the basics of fitness, such as core strength and stability to achieving specific goals. They are also here to offer support and guidance as you go through the different stages of your life and physical abilities.
If you do not feel that one-on-one training is right for you or you prefer a slightly more social atmosphere try group personal training. Group training consists of 3-10 people doing the same
workout under the expert guidance of a trainer while still providing individual treatment. Group training is also perfect for those wanting to connect with others who share their fitness goals.
Woodlake has recently welcomed Steve and Hanna to our team and they would be happy to guide you in your health and fit-ness goals. Please call the front desk at 739-3454 to schedule an appointment. You may also contact [email protected] with questions.
Summer is finally here and the outdoor pools are opening soon. Now is the time to start reserving times for outdoor pool parties.
Pool parties are available at both locations. Younger children and parents love the ease of the Mushroom and slide pools, while older kids enjoy the high dive and sand volleyball courts.

WSRC News WSRC NewsThe WSRC Running Group just completed their spring season.
We are so proud of our members who worked hard and participated in a variety of races this season. Our Running Group had members in the Shamrock ½ marathon and 8k, the Carytown 10, the Petersburg ½ marathon and even the Boston Marathon. You may have spotted one of our members in a race this year as each participant received a lime green technical shirt.
The group is made up of 65 runners and walkers from Woodlake and the surrounding neighbor- hoods that are looking for additional support as they work towards their race goals. Members receive guidance, nutritional counseling and support from coaches who live in the community. They also benefit from the additional encouragement offered by other members in their pursuit of those goals.
The group met in every type of weather to follow training routes clearly marked with water stops and coaches on hand for beginners and advanced runners alike.
If you have a “bucket list” race goal or have just been thinking of wanting to start to run please join our Running Group. lt is a great community of people of all different ages and paces who gather together to meet their individual goals. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
Please be sure to mark your calendars and join us for our first Friday Cheers on May 22, from 6-10 pm featuring the
Doug Tshudy Band.

Election ResultsThe Annual Meeting of Members was well represented by Woodlake residents. Special recognition was given to retiring Board Members, George Rogerson and Sharon Markowski.
There are 5926 total votes in the community. From 1441 ballots counted, 3044 votes were counted; the percentage of votes received in person or by proxy was 51.3669%.
The Proxy/Ballots received were sufficient to make quorum for the election of new Board Members and for the two Resolutions requiring 30% of total possible votes in the membership.
The IRS Resolution applying any surplus of income to the following year to avoid paying taxes on it was passed, receiv-ing 2778 YES votes, and 203 NO votes (93.19 % YES).
The Resolution on Refinancing the WSRC 1st and 2nd Mortgages was passed, receiving 2513 YES votes, and 478 NO votes (84.02% YES)
None of the Resolutions requiring 60% of the total number of possible votes in the membership passed because the number of Proxy/Ballots fell short of that amount.
While none of the following resolutions passed because the quorum requirement was not met, the vote results show the consensus of the community.
The Resolution on Special Assessment received 1642 YES votes, and 1364 NO votes (54.62% YES).
The Resolution on Annual Assessment Increase received 709 YES votes, and 2299 NO votes (23.57% YES).
The Resolution on WSRC Membership Requirement received 899 YES votes, and 2082 NO votes (30.16% YES).
The Resolution on Violation Charges received 1749 YES votes, and 1299 NO votes (58.73% YES)
The vote counting and batch auditing for the 2015 Woodlake Annual Meeting of Members was accomplished by a dedi-cated group of volunteers, many of whom worked through all three shifts to see that results were ready in time for the meeting that evening. Thank-you!
Andy Kohut and Mark McVey will fill three year terms on the Board of Directors resulting from the retiring of George Rogerson and Sharon Markowski. Michael Traynor will fill the two year term resulting from the resignation of Ray Turcan, and Jim Tschantz will fill the one year term resulting from the resignation of Del Rio Walkey.

We’ve heard grass-fed beef is supposed to be better for one’s health than the conventional brands – but what does it really mean and why?
We know that fruits and vegetables are better for our health than candies and fast food. Think about the difference in how you feel after you eat Twizzlers versus an apple with some peanut butter. Typically, a person would feel more energy and satiated for a longer period of time after eating the apple with peanut butter. We know that when we follow a healthy routine we look, think, feel, and act differently than when we follow a not so healthy routine. We are able to conclude from this example (as well as the wealth of nutrition research conducted) that our bodies are able to process whole, natural food more efficiently than chemically altered and processed foods. Similarly, cows consume and digest grass much more efficiently than corn products.
Let’s take a closer look. Cattle (like sheep, deer and other grazing animals) are endowed with the ability to con-vert grasses, which we humans cannot digest, into flesh that we are able to digest. They can do this because unlike humans, who possess only one stomach, they possess a rumen, a 45 or so gallon fermentation tank in which resident bacteria convert cellulose into protein and fats.
Many of us think of “corn-fed” beef as nutritionally superior, but it isn’t. A corn-fed cow does develop well-mar-bled flesh, but this is simply saturated fat that can’t be trimmed off. Grass-fed meat, on the other hand, is lower both in overall fat and in artery-clogging saturated fat. A sirloin steak from a grain fed feedlot steer has more than double the total fat of a similar cut from a grass-fed steer.
Grass-fed beef not only is lower in overall fat and in saturated fat, but it has the added advantage of providing more omega-3 fats. These crucial healthy fats are most plentiful in flaxseeds and fish, and are also found in walnuts, soybeans and in meat from animals that have grazed on omega-3 rich grass. When cattle are taken off grass, though, and shipped to a feedlot to be fattened on grain, they immediately begin losing the omega-3s they have stored in their tissues. A grass-fed steak typically has about twice as many omega-3s as a grain fed steak.
In addition to being higher in healthy omega-3s, meat from pastured cattle is also up to four times higher in vitamin E than meat from feedlot cattle and much higher in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a nutrient associat-ed with lower cancer risk.
It’s important to remember that organic is not the same as grass-fed. Natural food stores often sell organic beef and dairy products that are hormone- and antibiotic- free. These products come from animals who were fed organically grown grain, but who typically still spent most of their lives (or in the case of dairy cows per-haps their whole lives) in feedlots. The sad reality is that almost all the organic beef and organic dairy prod-ucts sold in the U.S. today come from feedlots. Just as organic does not mean grass-fed, grass-fed does not mean organic. Pastured animals sometimes graze on land that has been treated with synthetic fertilizers and even doused with herbicides. Unless the meat label specifically says it is both grass-fed and organic, it isn’t.

“The date escapes me but one time I hitched a ride on an armored personnel carrier (APC) in a convoy of tanks and other assorted military vehicles. I forget where we were headed to but the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment usually headed towards contact, not away from it. The 3rd vehicle behind mine, a tank, blew up caused by a command detonated mine. In civilian terms someone pulled a trigger and a massive piece of armor exploded with soldiers in it. “
Casualties of war include not only the dead or wounded but their families and for many disabled veter-ans, the hope of a future free from pain, suffering and uncertainty.
The Brandermill Region Men’s Club is honored to present representatives from The Fisher House located adjacent to the McGuire Veterans Hospital in Richmond. The Fisher House and its staff, plus volunteers, provide care and com-fort to our disabled veterans and their families at place close to a hospital where families can stay while their injured solders, sailors, airmen, and marines receive medical care.
Please join us on Thursday, 4 June at 9:15 am at the Brandermill Church in Midlothian for refreshments followed by our speaker’s presentation at 10am. Those interested in learning more about the Brandermill Region Men’s Club and its many offerings are encouraged to visit our website at BRMCVA.org or simply attend a meeting as a guest of the club. All are welcome.

Spring Community Cleanup
The 2015 Spring Community Cleanup was a great suc-cess! Residents filled thirteen dumpsters with yard debris - despite weather conditions which were less than appealing for outside yard clean-up.
Bruce Wiley of Junk Shuttle stayed busy collecting metal waste for recycling. The addition this year of com-puters, printers, and VCR’s to the list of approved waste was a bit hit! Thank-you, Bruce!
