Sun City Anthem Board of DirectorsPresident’sReportPlease vote! The final candidate forum is Thursday, April 4 at7:00 p.m. in Freedom Hall. Homeowners should receive theirelection packets on or shortly after April 5. Completed ballotsmust be received by the Association by 4:00 p.m. on April 30.Ballots may be deposited in the ballot boxes at the entrances toour rec centers or mailed to the Association.Ballots will be tabulated by volunteers at a public meeting onMay 1. There are five resident homeowners running for the fouropen directors’ positions this year. In the order in which theyappear on the ballot, the candidates are Mike Carey, Jim Long,Jim Mayfield, Bella Meese and Kay Frank.Parking restrictions. There is understandable confusionover the parking rules in our community. Section 3.6 of ourAssociation’s Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs)prohibits on-street parking. Subsequent legislation invalidatedthis rule in most of our villages. However, our Association is stillable to enforce this on-street parking prohibition in PinnacleVillage because it is gated.In the rest of our villages, the on-street parking restrictionsin the Henderson City Ordinances are enforced by theHenderson Police Department. These ordinances prohibit onstreetparking of vehicles that are without current registrationand/or inoperable, and limit on-street parking of an RV or trailerto a maximum of 72 continuous hours.To report an on-street parking violation in any village otherthan Pinnacle, you may contact the Henderson Police DepartmentParking/Traffic Division at 267-5093. Pinnacle Village residents2012-2013 Sun City Anthem Board of DirectorsStanding: Jerry Gardberg, Bella Meese, Mike Carey, Dan ForgeronSeated: Wade Terry, Jim Long (President), Jean CapillupoWade Terry resigned on January 7.may contact the Community Standards Department at 638-5751.You can also lodge a complaint by logging into the Association’swebsite and clicking on Communications / eForms / CommunityStandards.Section 3.6 of our CC&Rs prohibits the parking of a vehicleexcept in a garage, driveway, parking pad, or other area designatedby our Board. This section also prohibits parking commercialvehicles, recreational vehicles, mobile homes, trailers, campers,boats or other watercraft, oversized vehicles, stored vehicles orunlicensed or inoperable vehicles except in a garage. This sectiondoes not apply to emergency vehicle repairs, and there are someexceptions, e.g., one boat or recreational vehicle may be kept ona driveway for not more than four nights within each calendarmonth. Our Association continues to enforce these restrictionson parking on residential lots, and you can report violations toour Community Standards Department as described above.Compliance efforts are confidential. If you observe asituation that you believe violates a provision in the DesignGuidelines, CC&Rs or Rules and Regulations, you can report itto the Community Standards Department. After receiving yourcomplaint, our staff investigates to determine whether there is aviolation. If appropriate, they take pictures and the homeowneris notified in writing of the alleged violation.Under Nevada law, the homeowner must be granted areasonable amount of time to resolve the violation, and thehomeowner has a right to contest the violation at a hearingbefore our Covenants Committee. A homeowner who is notsatisfied with the ruling by our Covenants Committee can appealit to our Board. All of these steps take substantial time.It should also be noted that Nevada law limits our Association’sability to obtain compliance from a non-compliant homeowner.Our Association can only impose a fine, and the maximum finefor a general violation of the Governing Documents is $100 perweek. Fines are wiped out in a bank foreclosure, so homeownersfacing foreclosure have little motivation to take corrective action.Action following a report of an alleged violation must bekept strictly confidential under Nevada law. As a result, ourBoard members and staff are not allowed to respond to yourquestions asking what was done, whether a property owner wascontacted, or the reason that the property appears to remain outof compliance.Payment of quarterly assessments. There continues to beconfusion over payment of quarterly Association assessments.The second quarter’s assessment is due on April 1. There is nopenalty if payment is made within a 30-day grace period afterthe due date. A $25 late payment penalty will be imposed onaccounts that are not paid in full by April 30. This $25 latepaymentpenalty will be imposed at the end of each subsequentmonth until the account is brought current.You can avoid this problem entirely by signing up forautomatic payments from your checking account. Simply bringa canceled check to the Membership Desk and ask for the signupsheet for automatic payments.Jim LongBoard President6 | Sun City Anthem | April 2013

Many of you turned outfor the March Health and Fitness Committee meeting to attendan open discussion concerning the upgrading and selectionof fitness equipment, the relationship and responsibilities ofStrength Center as our approved vendor for personal training,and a review of the Association’s Fitness Department goals. Forthose of you who did not attend, we would like to share highlightsof the meeting.We reviewed the history surrounding the selection of theFitness Center equipment, specialists and trainers, thecontractual rate increase with added services provided bythe new vendor, and an explanation of the new RMI FitnessSpecialists who are on the floor supporting the fitness ofresidents. Certain concerns regarding the desk monitors andtheir treatment as employees of RMI were brought up by someresidents. Recognizing that personnel issues must be keptstrictly confidential, I can assure you that these issues are beingaddressed appropriately.It is the responsibility of RMI, as a management company tomanage the facilities, with the advisement and recommendationsof the Health and Fitness Committee. Those recommendationsare reviewed by the Board of Directors and communicatedto the management team. The Association goals that werecommunicated to RMI were to focus on resident safety andsecurity, and to add greater floor time compared to desk time.RMI responded by reworking the job descriptions, adding thenew, certified experienced Fitness Specialists to work the flooras positions came available, provide consistent and fair workschedules for the staff as a result of recent employee opinionsurvey results, provide additional safety training including CPRand AED, and greater focus on improving customer service andexpectations.The meeting allowed both Board and staff to outline thesecritical discussion points and then asked residents to speak outregarding both concerns and compliments of recent changes.Second QuarterHOA Assessment FeesDue April 1Payments received after closeof business (4:00 p.m.) on Tuesday,April 30, will be assessed a $25 late fee.Payment options:• In person (checks only) at the Membership Officebetween 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.Monday through Friday• Coupon book• Online through your RMI account• Personal bankingThere was an exchange of informationby many residents.There seemed to be a balancedmixture of residents who supportedthe changes in the FitnessCenter, those who did notlike the changes and others whocame to seek an understandingof what the concerns were in thecommunity.The evolution of the FitnessCenter is not yet complete.To address safety and accessibility concerns expressed atthe meeting, we are planning to have Hoist representativesand Synrgy specialists visit us to review equipment use andplacement.

vol·un·teer·ismthe act or practice of doing volunteer work in community serviceYou would think – living up here in the idyllic hills ofHenderson – that any resident who could, would justsit back, kick up his or her heels, and luxuriate inthe mostly awesome weather we have year-‘round.Yet hundreds of SCA residents choose to activelyserve this community on its Board of Directors, oncommittees, in our Service Groups, in our library …and all say there’s nothing they would rather do.Time is our most valuable asset, and each ofthe individuals listed below contributed time andenergy during 2012-2013 to help Sun City Anthemretain its ranking as the #1 luxury retirementcommunity in the U.S. Their sacrifices should not gounappreciated.During the month of April, our community showsits appreciation to its volunteers.

Committee ReportsARCHITECTURAL REVIEW ____________Cris Hornsleth, chairArchitectural Review SubcommitteeARC-Committee@scacai.comSecond and fourth Thursdays at 9:00 a.m.The Architectural Review Committee would like to extend ourappreciation to all Sun City Anthem residents for their continuedsupport and involvement in the community. The success of anyactivity hinges on the involvement of everyone, as well as thetimely sharing of information by the SCA chartered committeesconcerning upcoming community changes. While there have beenrelatively few revisions to the architectural design guidelines overthe years, we have noticed that both the Las Vegas Sun and theLas Vegas Review-Journal have begun to publish articles andpolitical cartoons about possibly the biggest community-widechange since the inception of SCA: the proposed alterationsregarding trash pickup.The ARC has been reviewing the proposed changes to determinewhether and how they will affect our community. Without question,the biggest impact relates to the overhaul in the trash pickupprocess. Most SCA homeowners have heretofore placed their trashin plastic bags or other containers, which are manually picked upby Republic Service personnel. Under the proposed change, thesystem would be more automated: the trucks would actually pick uprefuge containers and dump the contents into the truck’s containerutilizing hydraulic equipment, and the containers would be setback down on the ground, empty. This means that all homeownerswill have to place the Republic-provided containers at the street inaccordance with their neighborhood’s pickup schedule.As you have no doubt already considered, where will homeownersstore these containers between pickup dates? The standards forSCA require that trash containers be screened from public view.The new pickup mandate means that every homeowner will have toaddress this issue. For those who already store the trash containerin the garage, it’s likely a non-issue. However, for those who do notcurrently use trash receptacles, this requirement might present astorage challenge.Storage of these containers, and establishing a policy for doingso, has been a hot topic of conversation and has been publiclyvetted on community blogs. But as we get closer to implementationdate, please keep an eye on this column and the Spirit for updates.Ultimately, our community is merely adopting changes that areoccurring throughout the Las Vegas Valley, as well as most otherareas in the U.S., where more efficient procedures and increasedemphasis on recycling is changing the way we do business.The ARC will endeavor to keep everyone posted on the changes assoon as we are certain of the impact on our governing documents.COMMUNICATIONS_________________Joan Roth, chair421-5646, Communications.Committee@scacai.comNext meeting Friday, April 12, 9:30 a.m.Bristol Room, Anthem CenterThe Communications Committee continues work on itsmany projects including print, Internet, public relations andbroadcasting.The CC is changing its meeting day, time and location.

Committee ReportsLIFESTYLE _________________________Karen Lotspiech, chair263-2347, koddy@aol.comNext workshop Thursday, April 4, 1:00 p.m.Next meeting Friday, April 12, 9:00 a.m.Arlington Room, Anthem CenterThe Lifestyle Committee is in need of a new member and, rightnow as you are reading this, there are only a few days left for youto apply to fill that vacancy.Our primary responsibility is overseeing the 51 SCA clubs.Many of us on the committee frequently draw on our own clubexperience when we interact with our clubs; therefore, we wouldlike to hear from SCA resident-owners who have extensive clubexperience as an officer or director, or happen to be very active inone or more clubs.Each Lifestyle Committee member is assigned to act as liaisonto about seven clubs. When a club is updating its bylaws orseeking advice on other issues, the club first contacts its Lifestyleliaison. Most of our committee members are also assigned as theLifestyle representative to another standing committee, as weoften have common interests.As the clubs challenge us with new ideas and questions, weare constantly noting what needs to be updated in the CharteredClub Guidelines and Rules. Thus, this living document undergoesa revision by the committee on a regular basis.The Lifestyle Committee has a minimum of two meetings eachmonth. We have a workshop the first Thursday of the month,and a regular committee meeting the second Friday. Committeework also occasionally requires an additional monthly meeting.There is a lot of emailing on a daily basis, and a lot of uploadingand downloading of files. Thus, an applicant must be computerliterate, have facility using email attachments, and comfortablewith MS Word.We are looking forward to welcoming a new, enthusiasticvolunteer … we hope it’s you! We know you will find it to be arewarding experience.P&G’s role in the vetting of our neighborhood “poop stations”is a good example. Once this project was approved, two membersof our team were chosen as liaisons. They worked closely withPet Club representatives and John Casanova in selecting the petwaste-stationvendor and the design and locations of the stations.This process was rigorous, since it is difficult to please all ofthe homeowners. You can read more about the stations in theMarch Spirit magazine on page 9, and view a complete list of theirlocations throughout our community at the home page of the PetClub at the SCA website.We are now working on the 2014 capital budget. All PIRFshad to have been by April 1 to be considered. The vetting for theproject must be completed by our June 11 meeting.Any resident who has an issue or suggestion involving ourcommon properties may contact me at PG-Committee at scacai.com, and I will be happy to discuss its merits. Remember, all ofour meetings are open to all SCA residents, at which time we canalso address your concerns.PROPERTIES & GROUNDS __________Burt Davis, chair453-2467, PG-Committee@scacai.comNext meeting Tuesday, April 9, 10:00 a.m.Arlington Room, Anthem CenterLast month I reviewed the PIRF process and discussed vetting.The vetting, or review of a project, is a crucial step to determineits viability. As part of the process, a member of the Propertiesand Grounds Committee serves as liaison between the PIRF(Property Item Request Form) originator and appropriate RMIs t a ff .John Casanova, RMI project manager, generally serves asproject coordinator. He helps to fully define the task and thensolicits cost proposals from various vendors. During this process,the scope of the project may be modified.Once final project design and cost estimates are determined,our committee again reviews the project. This is when thecommittee determines whether to forward the project to theFinance Committee and Board of Directors for final approval.14 | Sun City Anthem | April 2013

Spring Forward: Maintain Your Home’s Smoke/CO DetectorsPresented by the Community Service ClubThe chances are good that more than once you’ve beenawakened from a sound sleep by the needling, incessantbeep-beep-beep of a ceiling-mounted smoke detector, or adual smoke/carbon monoxide alarm. If you purchased a Phase 2Del Webb/Pulte home, you have the latter type of device.Both devices need regular maintenance and if they’ve reachedtheir designed lifetimes, replacement. It’s important to payattention to the detector’s warning and do what is necessary tokeep your house equipped with functioning monitors. In thecase of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, this can literally be amatter of life and death. The advent of Daylight Savings Timeis the perfect annual reminder to give these guardians of oursafety some consideration.Smoke detectors detect the smoke generated by flaming orsmoldering fires. CO detectors detect the presence of the carbonmonoxide gas in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.CO is a colorless, tasteless and odorless compound often referredto as a “silent killer” because it is virtually undetectable withoutusing detection technology, and most victims of CO poisoningare not aware they are being poisoned.CO buildup can be caused by open flames or a malfunctioningfuel-burning device such as space heaters, water heaters,malfunctioning furnaces or a running car in a garage. COdetectors are designed to sound an alarm before dangerouslevels of CO accumulate in an environment, giving peopleadequate warning to safely ventilate the area or evacuate.Whatever type of device you have, some alarms are designedto beep continuously when they have reached their designedlifetimes. All alarms are connected to 110-volt house current andhave nine-volt batteries as backup. It’s important to maintainthe batteries in case there is a loss of electricity to the alarm.Our local fire department recommends replacing the batteriesevery year.Smoke alarms generally have a very long lifetime, and rarelycause problems unless their batteries wear down and/or thecharge falls below nine volts. But sometimes, changing thebattery isn’t enough to bring the charge up to specs; it may benecessary to clean the contacts by blowing clean air onto thesensor, or discharge the circuit boards by holding the test buttondown for a while. Some alarms have clip-on connectors and thewires break. If a smoke alarm can’t be fixed immediately, it’stime to purchase a replacement.Carbon monoxide alarms were installed on all encapsulatedhomes (homes without exterior vents near the roof, with electricfan vents). These homes must have CO detectors to protect thehome’s inhabitants. CO alarms are equipped with a sophisticatedsensor with a specific lifetime. When the sensor reaches its endof life, the alarm will beep continuously and cannot be fixed.The Kidde User’s Guide for a commonly installed unit states,“Important: Seven (7) years after the initial power up, this alarmwill ‘beep’ every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replacethe alarm. Replace the alarm immediately! It will not detect COin this condition. When the battery charge drops too low in thisunit it will beep every 15 seconds and the red light will flash whenit beeps. If changing the battery doesn’t stop the beeping then ithas likely met its designed lifetime.” There is a tag with date ofmanufacture on the unit. If one CO unit has met its designedlifetime, it’s best to replace all of the units in your house, as thebeeping would likely soon occur on your other units as well.Several types of smoke and CO alarms are installed inSCA homes; some are available at local hardware stores andonline. Some will need the ceiling plate changed to match thereplacement unit’s threads, and some come with adapters, as thehouse current connectors can differ. Local handymen know howto replace them and can help you upgrade to all new units.Our home-maintenance volunteer teams currently maintainand, in some cases, will install replacement alarm units forresidents who are unable to safely climb a ladder. We will alsoserve as a one-time consultant for those residents who can safelydo the job but still need some help in accomplishing the task.Don’t risk life and limb … give us a call at 614-5862.Mary Ellen Dolan, chairHome Maintenance CommitteeCommunity Service ClubSun City Anthem’s Community Service Club provides a variety ofservices to our residents. Club volunteers assist with transportation,loan residents medical equipment if available, and provide help withminor home maintenance tasks.

Sun City AnthemCommunity PatrolEMERGENCY — 911Non Emergency — 311SCACP — 614-6751Your SCA Community Patrol welcomed the first balmy weatherof the season by directing traffic and monitoring safety at theParking Lot Sale on the first Saturday in March. The turnout waslarge, as although many attended to buy and to sell, others tookadvantage of the free shredder truck available to SCA residentswith a member I.D. card.This quarterly event always attracts many, who also walk frombooth to booth, taking the opportunity to meet and greet friendsand neighbors. I want to commend our Patrol volunteers whomanaged the day without incident, checked member I.D. cardsfor the shredder truck, and provided directions for many gratefulresidents and other attendees.Although we try to be as helpful as possible, there are manyresponsibilities that fall to others in and around our community.Sometimes we’re flagged down as we drive the villages, withquestions from residents on enforcing CC&Rs, mediatingdisputes, eliminating commercial solicitation, issuing trafficcitations for street-parking infractions. (Our Board president,Jim Long, has elaborated on street parking permissions andprohibitions in his Board President report this month, on page 6.)The simple but unfortunate answer is that our bylaws andgoverning documents have always limited Patrol responsibilitiesto “observe and report.” Sun City Anthem and the broadersouthern Nevada and Henderson community have officialenforcement mechanisms including, but not limited to, the policeand other authorities, to enforce rules and regulations. As muchas we might like to help our residents in many situations, the“common best practices” of homeowners’ association patrolsacross the U.S. is to be a deterrent to crime, and to aid and abetthe police.That deterrent role is no small feat, as SCA’s comparative crimestatistics are lower than communities without a patrol presence.Our contribution to spreading the stretched resources of thepolice department to the larger community also is a net plus.When you combine that with observe-and-report services thatalert our residents to mechanical and other household problemsin their absence, the Patrol is a vital, valuable and proactivepresence.The Community Patrol recently acknowledged its members’contributions and achievements at its 12th Annual AwardsBreakfast on March 20. We could not maintain our high levelof service without the ongoing support and assistance from ourmember volunteers, and we thank them for the time and effortthey devote to safeguarding our community.Mike WaterhouseSCACP ChiefBadger Plumbing, LLCPlumbing & Backflow ServicesDrain Cleaning • Water Heaters & Water SoftenersFaucet, Toilet & Garbage DisposalsSenior DiscountSCA Resident702-423-0906Plumbing Contractor for over 30 years • NV Lic #007488020 | Sun City Anthem | April 2013

Fitness | SCA Membership I.D. Required for EntryFREE CLASS IN APRILFELDENKRAIS, Tuesday, April 169:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.Focus on ShouldersHEALTH HEROMeet Nancy Talbert. Nancy is a long-time SCA residentwho, because of her curiosity, has taken every type of fitnessand aerobics class ever offered at Sun City Anthem. And she’sstill going strong at age 81.Nancy and her husband bought one of the first housesavailable back at the turn of the century. She notes that whenAnthem Center first opened, only one fitness class was offered.Some of those class participants wanted to institute otherclasses, among them Nicole Duffel (a resident who now teachesjazz dance), and before you know it, they were kicking up theirheels.Although Nancy had always been active, she had neverdanced as exercise. She soon discovered she loved it and hasn’tstopped dancing. She became a dancer in Nicole’s jazz groupand performer in many SCA Performing Arts Club shows.A few years ago, Nancy’s doctor prescribed medicationto increase her bone density when she was diagnosed withosteopenia that was morphing into osteoporosis. Nancy,however, told the doctor she would rather tackle the problemanother way: she added Osteo-Strength and Zumba Toning toher routine. Zumba Toning involves using sticks to tone theupper body.Now, Nancy is happy to say, her doctor tells her that not onlyis the danger of full-blown osteoporosis gone, but her bonedensity has increased to the point where she’s at the low end ofthe osteopenia measurements, not the high end as before.Nancy still dances, but because she’s an octogenarian, heremphasis has shifted to other types of exercise. She still takesover 10 classes a week, her favorites being Gentle Yoga, Zumba,Tai Chi, and Line and Urban-Line Dancing, with an occasionalCardio Blast thrown in for good measure.Nancy’s not only a Fitness Health Hero, but she’s a “posterchild” for what the good life at Sun City Anthem should be.She’s at Independence Center for hours and hours at a time,almost daily, and says exercise and being active improved notonly her health and outlook on life, but has greatly expandedher social circle. She says if she can do it, you can, too!You are an inspiration to all of us, Nancy.Keep up the good work.

Facilities/LandscapingAprilApril ~ From the Latin word “aperire” meaning “to open”April is perhaps the busiest and mostproductive month in the landscapingarea. Our landscapers have completedall the necessary winter pruning andtrimming, and we are in the process ofgetting ready for the hot summer months.It is important that we take advantageof our cooler temperatures during thespring, so that new plantings have theopportunity to establish sufficient rootsystems before the heat sets in.During this month, you may notice the most passionate ofyour neighbor gardeners shifting into high gear while working intheir yards, and purchasing new plants and replacement plants.If you are in the market for new plants, you will notice thatmost have a tag on them that not only carries the plant’s namebut also has information about the temperatures the plant canendure. Ideally, it is best if it shows zero-degree tolerance, and itis equally important to check on the amount of sunlight the plantrequires and in which it can survive.Since a lot of new spring growth is already in full force, it is agood idea to make sure trees are not top heavy. If the caliper of atree appears too large for the size of the trunk, you may want toprune out any excess branches to provide the trees with a betterchance of not blowing over in our April winds.What kinds of flowers bloom in April? Tulips, which make agreat color addition to spring gardens. They can be purchased asbulbs or plants. Bulbs need to be planted in the fall, so they willgrow and bloom by April. If you are thinking of planting tulipsin your own garden, keep in mind they require special care andattention to grow properly. Bulbs need to be planted at least sixinches deep and look the prettiest when fully developed if theinitial planting is done in small groups.Residents often ask us how they may make a request for itemsto be purchased that would enhance the rec centers or commonareas, and make them more enjoyable. The answer to thatquestion is to fill out a PIRF (Project Item Request Form), whichyou can get from either the Membership Office at Anthem Centeror the SCA website under the Maintenance & Facilities tab. Oncethis form is filled out and submitted to the Anthem Center desk,it will go through committees and then possibly on to the Boardof Directors for consideration for the following year’s budget, oreven in special instances, the current-year budget.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, thoughts and ideas. Contact me at christine.noble@scacai.com or 614 5863.

Donna has started a tradition among the group: shecarries a teal-colored tiara that she passes to members who havea new machine, and who have the honor of wearing it during themeeting. It is always fun to see where that tiara will stop alongthe way.Some of our newest members are crazy addicted. One member,who does not want to be named here, told Jean that she huntsall over her house for anything that’s plain and that can beembroidered. She’s running out of source material!The photos feature two quilts with detailed embroidery. Thewhite quilt with Christmas art, “Christmas Redwork Quilt,” wasdone by Sharon White. The white quilt with circles of flowers,“Baltimore Quilt Wallhanging,” was embroidered by GeorgiaTobey. Georgia is a long-time quilter and super-long-time SCAresident of over 13 years. Last year, she was first vice presidentof our club.48 | Sun City Anthem | April 2013

That’s where and when we play this time of year. It’s rightdown the hill from us – head north on Anthem Parkway, makea right at Reunion, turn left just before the Del E. Webb MiddleSchool, make the next left into the park. On your right, you’ll seea lamppost sign that says “Field 1” … go up the hill to the field.All Sun City Anthem residents are welcome to hang out withus once or twice, to observe. Better still, bring a glove and someshoes, and come to play. You can try out for free three times, to seewhether you can keep up with a bunch of old guys and gals whoare in their mid ‘50s to low ‘80s. (As a little aside, that probablywould not be too tough to do.) We have a lot of fun and would loveto invite everyone to swing with us.A typical day at the field consists of:• Individual warm-up exercises• Playing catch for a few minutes• About one-half hour of batting practice• Dividing into two, three or four teams, depending uponthe number of people50 | Sun City Anthem | April 2013
