This event provides theopportunities for the committee to update the clubs on recentpolicy additions and changes, and for the club presidents to speakwith their Lifestyle liaison. So if you are a club president, pleasesave the date.I have recently been serving as a member of the Guest PolicyTask Force, appointed by the SCA Board, to review the use of ourfacilities by non-resident guests. The current policy is very liberal– a resident must accompany the guest at all times, and a guestcannot preempt a resident from using our wonderful facilities.Unfortunately, abuse of this policy has made us aware that itneeded to be reviewed. We have struggled with how to precludeabuse, while respecting the desires of our residents to includerelatives and friends when using our amenities. Our finalproposal will include some recommended changes, and will beforwarded to the Board for its approval. When that happens, therevised guest policy will be well-communicated to our residents,and we are hopeful that they will enhance the SCA lifestyle.My second term on the Lifestyle Committee comes to an endMay 31. Over the last four years, my admiration for all the clubshas grown immensely. I have seen firsthand how hard the officerswork to offer our residents so many diverse opportunities tosocialize, create, recreate and stay young at heart. It has been apleasure working with you all!PROPERTIES AND GROUNDS________Burt Davis, chair453-2467, PG-Committee@scacai.comNext meeting Tuesday, May 7, 10:00 a.m.Arlington Room, Anthem CenterOur committee works with the Board of Directors to help manageand develop community common areas, as well as our buildings.We receive and evaluate requests for capital improvements andmake recommendations to the BOD on whether to approve ordeny project requests for inclusion in the coming year’s budget.We will recommend the BOD include a project in nextyear’s budget if there is reasonable and sufficient benefit to thecommunity that justifies committing effort, resources, and timeand monetary expenditure to the project. In some cases, P&Gneeds to balance the needs or desires of a few residents vs. thecommunity benefit as a whole.Approved capital projects are funded through an “assetenhancement fee” that is one-third of one percent of the saleprice of a property in Sun City Anthem, and is used to fund thecapital budget.May 2013 | Sun City Anthem | 13

Committee ReportsThe capital projects that were approved in the 2013 budgetand are now in progress are listed below.• SCA video – This provides for the development andproduction of a Sun City Anthem marketing video forpublic relations purposes. It will, among other things,be provided to real estate brokers to assist in the salesof SCA properties. This video will replace an outdatedversion that was used by Del Webb during theconstruction phase of the community.• SCA website redesign – A major redesign of the SCAwebsite is in progress to make it more user-friendly andintuitive. The SCA website has a wealth of informationthat is available to residents, but is sometimes difficultto navigate.• Liberty Center building sign – Liberty Center was builtwithout any signage designating the building’s name.This project provides a street monument similar to theother SCA rec centers.• Park benches – Approximately 25 five-feet concrete parkbenches will be installed throughout the community toprovide a place for walkers to rest and enjoy the scenery.These benches can only be situated on common property,which limits their locations.• Pickleball Court, additional entry gates – This projectwill add side gates to allow waiting players to enter rearPickleball courts without interrupting play or causingpossible injury to people near the courts.• Liberty Center Outdoor Pool handrail – A handrail wasinstalled to provide better support for residents enteringand exiting the pool.• Directional microphones – These were purchased toprovide better sound quality at BOD and committeemeetings, as well as other community gatheringsand events.• Channel 99 control room equipment – This isself-explanatory.• IT licenses – Purchase of software licenses to assure thatwe meet the vendor’s requirements.The current list of the year’s capital projects in progress canalways be found on the website by clicking on Maintenanceand Facilities, and then 2013 Capital and Reserve.

SCA CelebrationsHappy 104th Birthday, Elizabeth Swann!by Rana GoodmanWhen we usually think about a personwho is well up there in “birthdays” wemostly think of the many stages of aging –you know, senility, dementia, fragility, etc.At least that has been my experience inthe years I have worked on the HendersonSenior Citizens Advisory Commission andcaring for my own parents. Then one dayseveral years ago, I had the pleasure ofmeeting a Sun City Anthem resident bythe name of Elizabeth Swann.The occasion was Elizabeth’s 100thbirthday, and I had been asked to attenda birthday party held by her familyand to interview Elizabeth for our ownChannel 99. When I first walked into theroom, I was overwhelmed by the warmthof her family – from her daughter Hazel,who lives with and cares for Elizabeth,to the many children, grandchildren andgreat-grandchildren who had traveledfrom near and far to celebrate with her.Before I sat down with camera andmicrophone, I remember wanting to chatwith Elizabeth for a while to get to knowher. A mutual friend and her next-doorneighbor, Norman McCullough, had oftentold me how extraordinary this lady was,but I wanted to see for myself.After I introduced myself, I sat downand asked Elizabeth Swann if she couldtell me a little about herself and whatshe could remember about the olddays in the south. Well, let me tell youthis, I have never wished that we hadbeen surrounded by school children atthat moment and never again will I prejudgeand think that a “number” attachedto your age has anything to do with yourwit, your retention of knowledge, or yourability to love and be loved. She startedwith the day she met her husband andcontinued on capturing the attention of allaround us.Mayor Andy Hafen and CouncilwomanDebra March joined us in presentinga citation to Elizabeth in honor of her100th birthday.Elizabeth Swann with Mayor HafenIn 2012, Elizabeth celebrated number103, and once again I was there torejoice with her as was our mayor andcouncilwoman. Elizabeth recognizedthem both and regaled the mayor witheven more stories of the old days.SCA is known as an active seniorcommunity, but I wonder how many peopleknow just how active this regal “senior” isand has been. As she approaches 104, hermany fans and I would like to honor thisamazing woman.Elizabeth Swann, you are ourgrande dame!If you really want to know what the “goldenyears” will be like, you must meet Annaand David Aldea. In May, Dave will be 92.This June, Anna will be 90. And to top thatoff, this year they will be married 72 years!Anna is still driving, and until recentlyshe and Dave played tennis and bocce andenjoyed walking. Now, they just party atthe casinos and enjoy the buffets. Aboveall, they are having a great time with theirfamily; some live right here in Hendersonand Las Vegas, and the others visit often.The Aldeas moved to Sun City Anthemfrom Northville, Michigan (near AnnArbor) in 2005 to join their daughter,Judy Gabriel, and her husband Marshall,in living the good life at Sun City Anthem.Anna and Dave have raised threeMeet the Aldeasby Joan Rothdaughters, all now senior citizensthemselves, and each is married to a greatson-in-law. They have six grandkids, eightgreat grandkids, and one more on the way.When the Aldeas celebrated their 70thanniversary, the gang showed up from 12states, and I understand they partied forthree days. I am sure we will all be anxiousto hear how the party for their 72ndturns out.Anna and Dave, we wish you both manymore happy birthdays and anniversaries.Anna and Dave Aldea holding theirNovember 9, 1941 wedding portrait.Locals in the NewsIf you have a story to share aboutneighbors helping neighbors, avolunteer who really stepped upduring someone’s trying time, ora local group (church, synagogue,service organization, etc.) that hasdone something special, pleaseshare it with us.We are also interested in hearingabout upcoming milestones such asgolden wedding anniversaries … orthose birthdays we all think will nevercome.

Sun City AnthemCommunity PatrolEMERGENCY — 911Non Emergency — 311SCACP — 614-6751This past month, the Community Patrol worked closely withpartner organizations to resolve some traffic and pedestriansafety hazards brought on by plant, shrub and other vegetationovergrowth at major intersections and high-traffic areas in andaround SCA. The Patrol surveyed the community by driving toand through locations it observed, or that had been reported tous by residents. After developing a list of major “hot spots,” wecontacted SCA Board members and representatives from theRevere Golf Club, Anthem Council and the Henderson PoliceDepartment.All supported fixing these obstructed views by removal, ormajor trimming, of sight-line obstacles. Some major intersectionsincluded Hampton Road at Sun City Anthem Drive, Atchley Driveat Anthem Parkway, and Sun City Anthem Drive at AnthemParkway. We appreciate the assistance and cooperation of thoselike us who wanted action on this critical safety issue.Thanks to a suggestion from Patrol member Gene Freeze(in photo), we will be partnering with the Community ServicesClub to make sure that every home in SCA has a properlylighted address plate at the front of the house. For many years,Community Services volunteers have assisted residents inreplacing burned-out light bulbs. Now, the Patrol hopes tofacilitate the identification of such non-lighted property numbersby observing and reporting such instances to both the affectedhomeowners and the CSC.Since partnering seems to be my theme here, I want toexpress my appreciation for the person we nominated to representthe Community Patrol for the SCA “Volunteer of the Year” award,presented at the annual luncheon for volunteers held in April.Actually, this person could have been our nominee many yearsrunning, if the award were in place earlier. The Patrol’s and mygreat thanks go to Carol Kornblum, who has been much of theheart and soul of our service group since 2001.Carol has been, in my opinion and those of many of mycolleagues, one of the Patrol’s top volunteer “givers” in ourcommunity. She has kept our community a little more secure andfriendly with everything she does by keeping the Patrol runningsmoothly, efficiently, and with a smile. She has, to this day,performed just about every management, administrative andtraining function within the Patrol, including but by no meanslimited to the following:• Administrative training to at least one, and probablymany other, Patrol chiefs• Scheduling all Patrol duty shifts• Dispatching, and training Patrol dispatchers, at all levels• Commanding the Patrol watch and briefing watchcommanders• Coordinating and providing new-member training• Recruiting and conducting Patrol information meetingsand briefings for SCA community members• Providing office supplies and sustenance for allPatrol membersThis list of her ongoing accomplishments no doubt sellsCarol short, since what this is really about is the love, loyalty anddemonstrated affection each day that she provides to the manywith whom she comes into contact – not only in the Patrol, butin partnering and giving back to many others. In short, Carolis a day-in-and-day-out leader in one of this community’s mostimportant volunteer service organizations.Mike WaterhouseSCACP ChiefCommunity Patrol“SCA Volunteer of theYear” Carol Kornblum,at the check-in deskfor the Patrol’s annualAwards breakfast.Community Patrolmembers Pat Monseesand Gene Freeze withassistant Patrol chiefSue Christensen solicitfor members at theSpring Arts andCrafts Fair.Mike Waterhousethanks the Patrolvolunteers at theannual Awardsbreakfast atBuckman’s.20 | Sun City Anthem | May 2013

y Favil WestTraditionally, the May issue of the Spirit magazine has featuredthe Foundation Assisting Seniors, the Community Service Group,and the residents they have served. From its modest beginningsin 2002 through 2012, it has, with its partner the CommunityService Group, provided more than 38,000 assists to seniorsin our communities. Each of these assists has strengthened ourbelief that most of our residents not only want to “live on” butalso want to “stay on” in their communities and remain active aslong as possible.Del Webb introduced the concept of “active lifestyle” as thekey element in defining the “golden years.” Maintaining anactive lifestyle became the mantra as the U.S. population agedand more and more people reached retirement. As we visitedvarious Sun City communities from Tucson to Roseville wefound that since moving to retirement communities, nearly allhave started a whole new life with new friends, new activitiesand a new lifestyle. They no longer fit into their former life anddon’t want to. They are back playing golf, tennis, bocce, etc. Theyare socializing again; in short, they are “living on.”We also learned that as a retirement community ages manyfind themselves homebound or with limited abilities to getout and enjoy retirement. They suffer falls, strokes, joint andmobility problems, macular degeneration, diabetes, and manyother age related illnesses. In spite of these problems, most stillwant to “stay on.” It is at this point that the Foundation AssistingSeniors begins its work.What We Are, and What We DoThe Foundation Assisting Seniors is a 501(c)(3) nonprofitcharitable corporation dedicated to improving the quality of lifein the senior community. The Foundation was founded by FavilWest and Chuck Davis. Its Board of Trustees is Gary Duffel, BobBerman, Liz Trosper, Charley Kilkuskie, William Fitzpatrick,Bob Sansing, Harriet Schreider, Denny Lesterson, Emile Girard,10th Annual CharityGolf TournamentMonday, May 27Revere Golf ClubMarianne Blaha, Frank Blaha, Brian Wittman, John Waterhouse,Doug Proudfit, Favil West, Phyllis Washburn, Chuck Davis, andJack Silas. The officers are Favil West, president; Emile Girard,vice president; Jack Silas, treasurer; and Phyllis Washburn,secretary.The officers and trustees of the Foundation are unpaidvolunteers committed to assist seniors during the difficulttimes of illness, recovery, confinement in home, loss of spouse,disease, and other challenges associated with aging. It has andwill continue to address the special needs of seniors in the agequalifiedcommunities. From its earliest days, the Foundationhas been the cornerstone of the senior community. Here atSun City Anthem, it was the sole negotiator for the design andconstruction of the Minuteman Community Service Building,which it later arranged to have donated to the Association.It obtained and donated the first van used by the CommunityService Group. It has been instrumental in the funding of muchof the computers, programs, and equipment for Channel 99.Some of the Foundation’s trustees, left to right: Emile Girard, Frank Blaha, Carol Deegan, Dennis Lesterson, Favil West,Harriet Schreider, Karl Vonderohe, Charles Kilkuske, Jack Silas, Phyllis Washburn and Alan Melnick.26 | Sun City Anthem | May 2013

Over the past few years, 15 residents have passed away intheir homes without anyone knowing. In order to eliminate thisproblem, the Foundation has been testing programs which willcheck on residents who live alone, are confined to their homes, aresingle, and/or want to be checked on each day in an unobtrusiveway. As an offshoot of this service, we are testing a drug reminderservice, both of which we hope to have in operation this year. Inthe longer term, we hope to help fund a hospice as well as fundand operate a mini-bus which will provide transportation fromthe resident’s home to the Center, the grocery store, pharmacyand/or doctor and will be free.Our DonorsTo date, nearly 70 percent of all money raised by theFoundation comes from major donors including Brian A.Wittman & Associates Investment Counsel; Valley CrestLandscaping; Troon Golf Management; South Point Resort andCasino; Golden Gaming/PT Pubs; Rob Osur’s Financial WellnessCenter; Anthem Hills Barber Salon; Ron Tiburti/Putters; AceAwning; Karl G.

Jim says he’s been playingsoftball nonstop since entering the world in Chicago,on December 3, 1939. Jim had a few setbacks afterturning 65, though. First was rotator-cuff surgery on hisright shoulder, his throwing arm. Second was surgeryto “clean out” his knee before having a complete kneereplacement. After that, his left shoulder needed tobe repaired.But just 12 weeks later, Jim joined his softball teamto play in the Florida Invitational Tournament. Theyprevailed over all of the U.S. teams of a similar age.About a year later, Jim’s right knee had to be cleanedout due to a torn meniscus. Four weeks after that, hehad another total knee replacement. But the hardestcomeback of all was after he suffered a rupturedappendix at the age of 71.Jim appreciates the many choices SCA offers torecover from health setbacks. He takes aerobic classes,and believes they keep him fit and healthy. “Theinstructors are knowledgeable and understanding. Allyou have to do is ask,” Jim says.

Facilities/Maintenance/LandscapingFacilities/MaintenanceBy this time of the year, Facilities and Maintenance has alreadygotten a good deal of the seasonal work done. Major projectswere making the outdoor pools, spas and decks ready for theswim season, including adding a handrail to the Liberty Centeroutdoor pool. We have also added new directional arrowsand stop signs to the Anthem Center east parking lot area, toenhance pedestrian safety, improve traffic flow, and minimizethe possibility of fender-benders.The Anthem Center red curbs have been painted, and themonuments have also been refurbished to include mention ofVic’s, our new restaurant. At present, we are also methodicallychecking every square card table in Anthem Center to reinforcethe legs and repair and paint as needed. Next, we tackle thepoker tables.You may have noticed that the waterfall was down for a time,due to an underground pipe breach. We are in the process ofvendor selection and repairs will start soon. You may also havenoticed flickering of the LED lights in Anthem Center. Thenew bulbs were defective, and they are being replaced by themanufacturer at no additional cost.Major projects we are involved with now also includeconstruction-defects lawsuit fixes, adding 25 benchesthroughout the community for residents’ comfort, a customcontrol-room desk for the Channel 99 studio, redo of the scahoa.orgwebsite, and Liberty Center monument sign, amongothers. In the case of the construction defects fixes, we arelooking at ways to use in-house resources to minimize costs toSCA residents.Our ongoing responsibilities include 200 to 250 room setupsa month. Because Facilities is intimately involved with theActivities Department and the restaurant, setups can be veryelaborate and time-consuming. Often the event coordinatorwill draw up a detailed floor plan with furniture setup, audioand video needs, hookups for computers, and special lightingand staging details. With a special club event or a wedding,for instance, the event organizer has a specific design to befollowed by our crew, and the booking personnel have to allowenough time changing setups for events in the same room.When necessary, if we have a short turnaround time span,personnel are pulled off their regular jobs to assist.Facilities and Maintenance also averages more than 150work tickets a month. Most of our nonemergency requests aresubmitted via email and the website eforms. Any of our deskmonitors have access to a computer and can generate a workticket, so if you notice anything that needs fixing or adjustment,let our staff know.For more information, visit the SCA website, where theFacilities and Maintenance section is frequently updated byBruno Panek, Facilities Director.LandscapingThe first day of May marks Southern Nevada Water Authority’sofficial start of summer … the summer watering schedule, thatis. Sun City Anthem is in water group E, and may now runsprinklers any day of the week – but not between the hoursof 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., because of the faster evaporationduring those hours on hot days. Watering with a handheld hoseor supervised irrigation testing is allowed. Not adhering tothese SNWA watering mandates could result in a water-wastefee or citation to the property owner.Hopefully, May and June will bring a few months of lovelyspring weather before the real heat sets in. Our landscapers arevery busy this time of year, doing spring plantings throughoutour community so that the new plants have a few monthsto take hold before they are exposed to unrelenting hightemperatures.You may have noticed that two cacti at the entrance toLiberty Center had to be replaced, because they succumbed tothe extended frost we had this past winter. You may also havenoticed that we now have a scattering of spring wildflowersblooming and most of the deciduous trees have sprouted newgrowth for the summer. Some of our native cacti have beautifulflowers on them, but these are hard to spot as most bloom forjust one day. Featured photograph is an Echinocereus Cacti,often referred to as the “Comb Hedge Hog.”Our primary goal is to keep our community looking beautifuland professionally maintained. Your help is always appreciated,and we welcome the opportunity to consider your comments,concerns and ideas.

If you apply heat to glass, it will soften. If you continueto apply heat, the glass will become more fluid and flow together.Two or more pieces of glass will stick (or “fuse”) to each other.When the right kind of glass is heated and then cooled properly,the resulting fused glass piece will be solid and unbroken. Manyforms of art are then created when fused glass is further fired toadd depth, relief and shape.Glass fusing has rapidly grown in popularity over the pastfew years, whether for function or as a beautiful art form. If youwant to know more about this craft, join us Thursday and/orSaturday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to noon, and witness many ofthe different techniques for creating beautiful pieces of fused glass.Beginner classes and cutting classes are offered free of charge.

Our trips to Bryce, Capitol Reef,Zion, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Escalante, Arches and elsewherehave been wonderful. However, our trip to Yellowstone NationalPark in September of last year was especially memorable due toits incredible beauty, dynamic hydrothermal areas, and wildlife.​After a two-day drive through Utah, Idaho and Wyoming (witha fun stop in Jackson Hole), we headed through Grand TetonNational Park and into Yellowstone. Suddenly, we spotted a lonebison walking along the road and photographed him from thesafety of our car! He was the first of many bison we were luckyenough to see in our eight-day stay in the park.After checking into the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, the firstof three hotels we would stay at, we saw a big bull elk resting on thegrass adjacent to the hotel, guarding his females. We had arrivedduring rutting season and witnessed bugling bulls, and quite ashow when another alpha male came into the area. The followingmorning, as all 19 of us set out on the scenic Beaver Pond hike,many female elk were coming down from the surrounding hillsto enjoy the grassy area by the hotel and veered off the trail toavoid us.44 | Sun City Anthem | May 2013

We enjoyed the limestone terraces of Mammoth Hot Springswhere heat-loving microorganisms created beautiful tapestries ofyellow, orange, brown and green. On our way to Canyon VillageLodge, we visited the Norris Geyser Basin with its many geysers,mud pots, hot springs, and fumaroles. Amazing! We also hikedalong the rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River andenjoyed the spectacular views.​As we drove through Hayden Valley, we stopped to viewan amazing bison herd at least 100 strong and enjoyed theirinteraction. During our final days in the park, we stayed at theOld Faithful Inn and watched the Old Faithful Geyser blow.

Zuni was 10 yearsyoung on January 27, and wasadopted by Anne when he wasjust a few weeks old. Anne grewup around pets, but never hadone of her own until she decidedit was time to get a dog. Sheresearched breeds on the Internetand spoke with friends,and ultimately decided onZuni’s breed. Ever since then,Zuni never leaves her side.(Or should we say, Anne neverleaves Zuni’s side?)Zuni loves his food, treats, but most of all his walks. When Zuniwas two years old, Anne decided he needed a sister to keep himcompany. Princess Zoe arrived, and despite being the runt of thelitter, Zoe is very independent. The two Zs play and sleep together,and seem to have a very special bond.Anne says Zuni and Zoe give her unconditional love, whethershe’s sad or mad, put together or not. The dogs give Anne thestrength and the will to get up every morning to face every day.She says you can’t put a dollar value on the joy that Zuni and Zoehave brought her.PICKLEBALL______________________The Pickleball Club had a springtraining session in March.
