SUN CITY ANTHEM BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />

President’s Report<br />

We have a new CAM. Robert Feldman became our<br />

Community Association Manager (CAM) at the beginning<br />

of September. He worked 25 years as a manager in the<br />

Marriott hotel chain, followed by several years in<br />

association management.<br />

The selection of our CAM is made by RMI under the terms<br />

of our Management Agreement. RMI’s President, Steven<br />

Parker, provided our directors with an opportunity to<br />

interview the three candidates he was considering for this<br />

position. Six of our directors interviewed these candidates.<br />

Each of our directors, independently concluded, Mr.<br />

Feldman is well qualified to serve as our CAM, and he was<br />

the first choice among the candidates we interviewed.<br />

Mr. Feldman was also Mr. Parker’s first choice.<br />

I want to thank Sacha Fotu for her excellent work serving<br />

our community as our CAM. It has truly been a pleasure to<br />

work with Sacha. She has impressed me with her positive<br />

attitude, dedication to her job, and responsiveness to our<br />

suggestions and comments.<br />

Our CAM is comparable to a chief operating officer in a<br />

business corporation. In addition to many other duties,<br />

our CAM supervises all of our employees.<br />

We also have a new Lifestyle Director. Maurice Talley<br />

became our Lifestyle Director at the end of August.<br />

Maurice is an Army vet and a native of Las Vegas. He has<br />

13 years of property management experience, and was<br />

most recently the Lifestyle Director at Montelago Village at<br />

Lake Las Vegas.<br />

Maurice will oversee the operations of the Activities,<br />

Communications and Fitness departments. The creation of<br />

the Lifestyle Director position is part of the reorganization<br />

of these departments. This reorganization will reduce the<br />

number of managers and maintain the size of our staff,<br />

and it complies with our Board’s budget guidelines for<br />

2012 and 2013.<br />

Restaurant progress report. Our restaurant selection task<br />

force selected <strong>Anthem</strong> Restaurant Partners as its first<br />

choice for a tenant. Our Board approved these<br />

recommendations at its August meeting. Next, our<br />

negotiating team will finalize lease terms with <strong>Anthem</strong><br />

Restaurant Partners, and our auditor will analyze their<br />

financial capabilities. If a problem arises, we will go<br />

through the same steps with Divine Events, the second<br />

choice for a tenant.<br />

The restaurant survey we conducted last December told us<br />

that 78% of our members want to have a restaurant in<br />

<strong>Anthem</strong> Center that serves lunch and dinner. Most of our<br />

members support giving the restaurant tenant exclusive<br />

catering rights in our ballroom. We also learned that few of<br />

our members believe our Association should subsidize the<br />

restaurant operation.<br />

We have used this survey information to guide us. The<br />

new tenant will be required to serve lunch and dinner and<br />

will be the only caterer for events in our ballroom. Over<br />

the course of a five-year lease, they will be required to pay<br />

all utilities plus enough rent to cover replacement of our<br />

restaurant equipment and furnishings.<br />

Important document revisions. At its August meeting,<br />

our Board adopted a revised set of our Association’s Rules<br />

and Regulations. We also adopted revisions to our<br />

Association’s Design Guidelines. You should have<br />

received a copy of these documents on a computer disc<br />

during September. If you did not receive this or you prefer<br />

a paper copy, please stop at the Membership Desk in<br />

<strong>Anthem</strong> Center. I urge you to become familiar with these<br />

documents.<br />

Director specialization. Our Board has long followed the<br />

custom of designating two directors as liaisons to<br />

committees, service groups, and other areas of<br />

responsibility. The Board establishes these assignments at<br />

the organizational meeting in early May each year. The<br />

current liaison assignments are posted on the SCA website.<br />

After logging in, click on Board/Committees, Board of<br />

Directors, Board of Directors Liaison Positions.<br />

Directors perform the traditional liaison role with their<br />

committees or other groups. This includes serving as a<br />

conduit for information from the group to the Board and<br />

the Board to the group. This specialization puts a liaison in<br />

the best position to understand the issues faced by each<br />

group. For example, the primary liaison to the Property<br />

and Grounds Committee (Wade Terry) understands the<br />

issues faced by P&G better than other directors.<br />

We receive many questions from our members through the<br />

message feature of the SCA website (click on Contact Us,<br />

Board of Directors.) Our custom is for the liaison to the<br />

relevant group to answer your question. Using the same<br />

example, Wade answers the questions within the<br />

responsibility of P&G. The other directors read your<br />

question and the liaison’s response, but usually respond<br />

only if they have something additional information to add.<br />

Committee Reports<br />

ARC<br />

Second & Fourth Thursday 9:00 a.m.<br />

Architectural Review Subcommittee<br />

Lionel Draper - Chairperson<br />

ARC-Committee@scacai.com<br />

“Paint My House”<br />

Our community is about 13 years old, and many of<br />

our homeowners are having their homes repainted. Repainting<br />

your home normally raises many questions and the SCA ARC<br />

would like to help. We have created a website specifically to<br />

provide homeowners with all the information they might need to<br />

make their repainting decisions. This website is accessed through<br />

the SCA website (www.sca-hoa.org.) Just look under the title<br />

“Paint My House” in Board/Committees, Architectural review.<br />

There are 12 Phase 1 and 25 Phase 2 color combinations, all<br />

of which are available to the homeowner.<br />

Once you have accessed the “Paint My House” WEB pages, you<br />

just need to follow steps 1 thru 6 and you should get an<br />

understanding of the requirements for repainting your home and<br />

access to all the information you will need.<br />

The site is organized as follows:<br />

Step 1: READ ME FIRST, which will provide a specific<br />

guide on using this site.<br />

Step 2: Paint Guidelines, which provides a check-list<br />

form and ARC requirements.<br />

Step 3: Pulte Home Database, where you can find<br />

specific paint information for your home.<br />

Step 4: Color Scheme Paint Codes, will give you the<br />

paint manufacturer’s codes for each paint color.<br />

Please use this information because all our<br />

house colors have faded significantly in the hot<br />

Nevada sun and it’s risky to determine paint<br />

colors from samples of your exterior stucco.<br />

Step 5: Exterior Color Application Specification, which<br />

shows how each paint color must be applied to<br />

your home.<br />

Step 6: Color Schemes, provides color pictures of all<br />

Color Schemes.<br />

Now while we are talking repaint, HOUSE NUMBERS, in many<br />

cases have faded and are subsequently illegible and<br />

in need of replacing or repair. This is not only a<br />

maintenance issue but a security one. If a homeowner has to<br />

make a 911 call, it is imperative that the emergency response<br />

vehicle crew be able to identify the correct house immediately on<br />

arrival in that neighborhood. House numbers are available at<br />

Statewide Lighting, 800 E. Sahara, Las Vegas; this being the<br />

contractor previously used by Del Webb/Pulte Homes.<br />

dedication have been an inspiration to the entire team. In<br />

COVENANTS COMMITTEE<br />

The Board of Directors, as required in Article 5.2 of the By Laws,<br />

established a Deed Restriction Enforcement Committee. At <strong>Sun</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> this committee is called the “Covenants<br />

Committee.”<br />

The Covenants Committee is the hearing tribunal of the<br />

Association and conducts hearings pursuant to Section 3.26 of<br />

the By Laws and Article 7.4 of the Declaration of Covenants,<br />

Conditions and Restrictions.<br />

Hearings are normally scheduled once a month and they are not<br />

open to the public or membership. A hearing is scheduled when<br />

a case cannot be resolved during the enforcement process. The<br />

Covenants Committee hearing tribunal reviews the information<br />

regarding an alleged violation and determines if a violation of<br />

the standards set forth in the Governing Documents occurred.<br />

This committee is also responsible for imposing fines and/or<br />

sanctions.<br />

Following a hearing before the Covenants Committee, the<br />

alleged violator shall have the right to appeal the decision to the<br />

Board.<br />

Every year, the Association utilizes reserve funds to purchase<br />

furniture and equipment that is deemed to need replacing. For<br />

2013, the replacements will include several pieces of fitness<br />

equipment in the <strong>Anthem</strong> Center Fitness area: cardio pieces<br />

(e.g., treadmills, ellipticals) that are broken, too expensive to<br />

repair, or well beyond their life-expectancy. Also included for<br />

replacement are many pieces of strength equipment.<br />

While working closely with the Fitness Managers on the<br />

equipment, the Health & Fitness Committee has also<br />

independently developed a list of criteria which we feel are<br />

important for SCA fitness equipment. If a current piece of<br />

equipment is failing or deficient on one or more of the priority<br />

criteria, we recommend it being replaced; recommendations of<br />

new pieces of equipment to be purchased as replacements are<br />

made if they are desirable or superior on one or more of the<br />

criteria. Here are the criteria: safety; repair history/expense;<br />

continued durability; footprint; appropriateness for gender and<br />

body types; age-friendly and user-friendly; body alignment for<br />

proper use; popularity/usage demand; multi-functionality or<br />

multi-use; fall and injury prone or resistance; joint friendliness;<br />

ease of operation and control; speed control/stop features; ease<br />

of entry/exit; incremental adjustments; comfort.<br />

The Health & Fitness Committee and the Fitness<br />

Managers have agreed on the equipment pieces to be replaced,<br />

and are now working toward obtaining bids on replacement<br />

pieces. Kathy Kline, Fitness Manager, will be displaying vision<br />

boards showing the potential new pieces under consideration.<br />

She welcomes feedback from residents via written blue cards or<br />

face-to-face input to her.<br />

The H&F Committee is also working with the Fitness<br />

Department to provide a variety of mechanisms through which<br />

residents will be able to receive orientations to the<br />

new equipment.<br />

We have beautiful and bountiful amenities here in SCA: the<br />

spectacular <strong>Anthem</strong> Center, the functional Independence Center<br />

and our newest, the Liberty Center. These three buildings house<br />

our fitness centers, pools and spas, a theatre and sport courts<br />

which add so much to our lifestyle. They also provide space for<br />

our 51 clubs, some of which have dedicated rooms, courts to<br />

play on and comfortable rooms in which to pursue their<br />

interests.<br />

In a community as big as ours, we need rules and<br />

regulations to insure that residents can comfortably enjoy all<br />

these amenities. As Chair of the Lifestyle Committee, I have<br />

recently been involved in revising one of our governing documents<br />

and the entire committee has been reviewing two of our<br />

guiding documents, all of which include some rules on the use of<br />

our amenities. Most of us involved in these projects agreed<br />

12 <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> • October 2012<br />

that our intent wasn’t to add more rules. We were striving for<br />

simplification, smoother text, elimination of duplication and a<br />

more user-friendly format.<br />

As we reviewed the contents of the documents, an area that came<br />

under review was SCA Non-Resident Guest Policy. We all have<br />

friends and relatives who visit. We love to show off our<br />

amenities and invite guests to join us as we enjoy them. Our rules<br />

only ask that a resident accompany a guest at all times when the<br />

guest signs in using an SCA amenity, and it also states that a guest<br />

cannot preclude a resident from participating in an activity. To<br />

our credit, we have had very few problems with abuse of guest<br />

privileges. The Lifestyle Committee has only occasionally been<br />

called upon to study such problems. Overall, the majority of our<br />

residents are very respectful and rarely abuse the policies we<br />

have in place. The SCA Board ultimately determined that our<br />

revised manuals would not contain changes to Non-Resident<br />

Guest Policy at this time.<br />

All of the SCA governing and guiding documents may be found<br />

on the SCA website: www.sca-hoa.org.<br />

The committee welcomes Jim Jaworski as our newest member.<br />

His term begins on September 1, 2012 and will end on August 31,<br />

2014. Jim comes with the following background:<br />

• Has been a resident of SCA for 7 years<br />

• He’s a current volunteer for CH99<br />

• He’s proficient in the use of all Microsoft software<br />

programs, the tools used most by this committee<br />

• He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from<br />

Western Michigan University<br />

• Served four years in the United States Navy<br />

as an Electronics Technician<br />

• Has spent his lifetime as a professional in the<br />

construction and building industry – He has project<br />

management expertise covering such areas as<br />

maintenance, construction contract negotiations,<br />

design and build, budgets, maintenance and much<br />

more.<br />

• His work experience is nationwide and even<br />

includes projects located in Las Vegas such as<br />

General Growth Properties and Turnberry Place.<br />

The committee members feel that Jim’s background and<br />

expertise will be extremely beneficial to the operation and<br />

effectiveness of Properties and Grounds Committee.<br />

The committee also wants to thank Ellen Korchek and Greg<br />

Pardee, who have agreed to extend their current volunteerism on<br />

our committee for an additional two-year term. We are extremely<br />

appreciative of their work ethic, experience and knowledge that<br />

they bring to the committee. By extending their term, they also<br />

foster continuity as we deal with our task of reviewing and<br />

analyzing information to make recommendations to the<br />

Board of Directors.<br />

As a reminder, the mission of the Properties and Grounds<br />

Committee is to support the Board of Directors and serves<br />

as a communication link with the residents in the management<br />

and development of our common amenities. We meet on the<br />

Tuesday preceding the second Thursday of every month at 10:00<br />

a.m. in the Arlington Room at <strong>Anthem</strong> Center. Residents are<br />

encouraged to attend to offer comments on our agenda items or<br />

voice other concerns regarding our common amenities.

Facilities/Landscaping<br />

October<br />

~ President Harry S. Truman made the first presidential telecast on October 5, 1947<br />

Even though we are now into<br />

the month of October, we still<br />

have days when the weather is<br />

warm; but it is actually a good<br />

time to start thinking about the<br />

coming winter months and the<br />

effect the changing weather<br />

will have on our landscaped<br />

areas. Beginning October 1, we<br />

are now able to water during<br />

any hour of the day per SNWA<br />

(Southern Nevada Water<br />

Authority) guidelines. SNWA<br />

will allow this for the rest of this year. Throughout<br />

the rest of October we may still run our irrigation on<br />

Monday, Wednesday and Friday.<br />

Because of the SNWA’s new hours and for weather<br />

reasons, all of our landscapers will be resetting our<br />

irrigation clocks to water at safer times for the fall<br />

and winter months. Water running too early in the<br />

morning creates the risk of someone slipping or<br />

falling when water forms winter frost or ice because<br />

of runoff to the sidewalk or street. No matter how<br />

carefully the direction of a sprinkler head is set, it is<br />

not unusual for a sudden windy spurt to override the<br />

setting. Keep this in mind when setting your<br />

irrigation clock, because of the late afternoon winds<br />

that are so prevalent in the <strong>Anthem</strong> area.<br />

As most of you already know, all of our landscape<br />

maintenance is contracted with three companies:<br />

US Landscape – all three Centers and Pinnacle<br />

Village; Valley Crest Landscape – all our streetscapes<br />

and open areas; and Superior Landscape – duplex<br />

homes, often referred to as Villas. These companies<br />

all provide us a schedule, in accordance with our<br />

contracts with them, for the year’s landscape<br />

maintenance program. Sometimes it is necessary for<br />

our landscapers to work on an area earlier or later<br />

than it is scheduled, due to weather conditions.<br />

Heavy rains or extreme windy spells create<br />

additional debris. When this happens, crews are<br />

unable to work and the debris caused by these<br />

storms necessitates the need for maintenance<br />

cleanup earlier than scheduled. Also, the extra water<br />

from the rain encourages a sudden growth spurt<br />

which also creates the need to trim earlier than<br />

scheduled.<br />

In addition to all the streetscape re-landscaping<br />

which was described in last month’s article, we have<br />

also been working on our duplex homes located in<br />

Model Village, <strong>Club</strong>house, Canyon Crest, High Mesa<br />

and Mountain View Villages. Each of these Villages<br />

has had plants or trees added as needed. The front,<br />

back and side yards of the duplex units are part of<br />

one large parcel for each street, which is an<br />

Association-owned common area. When the duplex<br />

homes were built, the developer established a plan<br />

for the landscape in each Village. Therefore, when<br />

re-landscaping our choice of plants or trees needs to<br />

coordinate with the original theme to maintain a<br />

coordinated look for all the duplex homes.<br />

The featured photo<br />

this month is of<br />

duplex homes in<br />

<strong>Club</strong>house Village.<br />

As you can see, they<br />

blend in so well with<br />

our single family<br />

homes that it is hard<br />

to tell they are duplex<br />

homes.<br />

With the prime goal of<br />

keeping our community beautiful, we regularly walk<br />

our grounds and interact with the crews from three<br />

landscape companies that maintain our outdoor<br />

areas. These areas include: the grounds around the<br />

Centers, SCA streetscapes; desert re-veg areas;<br />

the common areas and gate maintenance in Pinnacle<br />

Village; the landscape around the duplex homes;<br />

and rock drains within our community.<br />

We always welcome the opportunity to speak with<br />

the homeowners. If you have questions,<br />

comments or concerns regarding any of our<br />

properties, please don’t hesitate to contact me at:<br />

christine.noble@scacai.com or 614-5863.<br />

Thank you,<br />

ANTHEM AUTHORS<br />

I love being a writer; what I can’t stand is the paperwork.<br />

Peter De Vries<br />

It’s been a busy time for our writers. Tony Sabatello has<br />

just published his book, My Kind of Town: Excerpts of a<br />

Copper’s Life. My Kind of Town chronicles the real life<br />

experiences of a Chicago cop during the early 1960s. His<br />

brief career with the Chicago Police Department was spent<br />

in the Patrol Division and in the Traffic Division, which<br />

enables him to provide different perspectives on being a<br />

Robert Murphy read a chapter from his novel, Bear Claw. A<br />

story about the building of the transcontinental railroad,<br />

the inter-relationships of the Native Americans, the<br />

Chinese and Irish laborers, and the villainous uncle of one<br />

of the Irishmen.<br />

Beth Medhus continued reading from her memoir of<br />

growing up in a Hungarian family in Canada, Stories My<br />

Mother Told Me.<br />

These are examples of the new and exciting (and yes fun)<br />

things <strong>Anthem</strong> Authors experience. You don’t have be a<br />

writer to attend; although even if you don’t think you’re a<br />

writer, you might be surprised. <strong>Anthem</strong> Authors meetings<br />

feature exercises, contests and tips designed to inspire and<br />

improve your writing. Memoirs, fantasy, mystery and<br />

poetry all have been explored and there are also many<br />

contests to be entered. Memoirs remain a great vehicle for<br />

organizing your thoughts and experiences to pass on to<br />

your families.<br />

Our annual membership dues are $10.00. Our website is<br />

www.<strong>Anthem</strong>Authors.com where you can read some of<br />

our writings or contact Elaine Stubbs at 361-8529 for more<br />

BOOK<br />

Book <strong>Club</strong> Meeting – Thursday, October 18, 2:00 p.m. -<br />

3:00 p.m., in the Penn/Nelson Rooms at Independence<br />

Center.<br />

Each month, the SCA Book <strong>Club</strong> reads and discusses a<br />

book. In October, we'll be discussing Daughter of Fortune by<br />

Isabel Allende. Left in a basket at the doorstep of the<br />

Sommers family, Eliza is brought up as their adopted<br />

daughter in the heart of Valparaiso's<br />

well-to-do British colony. She falls in<br />

love with a poor poet who leaves<br />

Chile in 1848 to seek his fortune in<br />

California's Gold Rush. Determined<br />

to follow him, Eliza stows away on a<br />

ship bound for San Francisco. What<br />

begins as a search for her loved one<br />

becomes a journey of self discovery<br />

and a tale of people from a variety of<br />

backgrounds seeking their fortune<br />

in a land which seems filled with<br />

limitless opportunity.<br />

Our November book is Dreams of Joy by Lisa See; the<br />

December selection is Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. We<br />

will vote on our 2013 selections at our October meeting.<br />

SCA Book <strong>Club</strong> members volunteer at the SCA library. The<br />

library is located at Independence Center and is available<br />

to all SCA residents on the honor system. The collection<br />

includes fiction and nonfiction, paperback and hardcover.<br />

Book donations are welcomed, but due to space<br />

constraints, only books published in the past eight to ten<br />

years are accepted.<br />

The Book <strong>Club</strong> usually meets on the third Thursday of<br />

each month. Guests are welcome at any meeting. For those<br />

who wish to join, dues are $5.<br />

umbrella policies. Then he will cover required minimum<br />

distributions for IRAs and pensions plans.<br />

Last, Mr. Straus will focus on avoiding probate with a funded<br />

revocable living trust and estate taxes and the new federal and<br />

OPERA<br />

A new “Carmen” for the Met.<br />

Richard Eyre (Producer of this 2010<br />

production) has had no shortage of<br />

success directing women in largerthan-life<br />

roles, both on stage and<br />

on screen. As complete and<br />

unforgettable as such real and fictional<br />

characters as Iris Murdoch, Hedda<br />

Gabber, Miss Adelaide, Violetta<br />

Valery, and even Mary Poppins may<br />

be Bizet’s Carmen. It is something else<br />

entirely. A sexual outsider embroiled<br />

in a furious face-off with death.<br />

“Carmen would say her character is fate,” Eyre has<br />

remarked. “But how much freedom is she going to be<br />

allowed, considering she’s a woman who is going to live<br />

her life as she chooses? Because she is a gypsy, she’s<br />

continuously unacceptable – unacceptable, indeed, by<br />

definition.”<br />

The members of Opera Lovers <strong>Club</strong> invite all residents to<br />

join us to view this Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, chorus<br />

and ballet, starring Elina Garanca, Roberto Alagna,<br />

Barbara Prittoli, Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Keith Miller.<br />

Guest fee is $1 per meeting. Annual membership (January<br />

through December) is $10.<br />

and administrative innovations to<br />

improve the voting process. Clark<br />

County was also the first county in<br />

the nation to use the voter-verifiable<br />

paper trail printer and for the last 15<br />

years has set the standard for the<br />

rest of the nation when it comes to implementing<br />

technology into the voting process. Along with his duties<br />

as Clark County’s Registrar, Larry has served as Nevada’s<br />

appointed representative to the U.S. Election Assistance<br />

Commission’s (EAC) Standards Board since its inception<br />

in 2002.<br />

between the library and other<br />

community agencies; develops new<br />

funding for services through foundation,<br />

partnerships and grants; and<br />

researches community needs and implements appropriate<br />

responses to those needs. The library district, an<br />

is proposing an ad valorem tax rate increase of 2 cents per<br />

$100 in assessed property value for the November 6 ballot.<br />

We have an urgent need for volunteers to help during the<br />

upcoming election campaign. All election volunteer efforts<br />

out of the area. The first adventure, led by Bob & Willie<br />

Platts and Doc & Vera Miller, took 20 rigs to Rocky Point,<br />

Mexico. Everyday activities included swimming in the<br />

wonderful waters of the Sea of Cortez and beach games.<br />

Card games included Mah Jongg and Texas Hold-Em.<br />

John Strassner tried his hand at kayaking in the water and<br />

was quite a sight to behold. Like all trips, the pot lucks<br />

were wonderful, especially the Steak and Shrimp Feast.<br />

The second October trip took us to Albuquerque, NM for<br />

the International Balloon Festival. Dave & Sharon Smith<br />

led this rally. The colorful balloons numbered over 30 and<br />

were a sight to behold, especially the “Night-Glow.”<br />

Future scheduled trips include Winterfest in Laughlin,<br />

Nevada, the Branson-West festivities in Mesquite, Nevada,<br />

our annual March trip to Phoenix for baseball Spring<br />

Training and our April rally to Willow Beach at Lake Mead<br />

for water activities and possible fishing for the legendary<br />

Nevada “Marlin.” Stay tuned!<br />

Our mission is to promote fellowship among <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

<strong>Anthem</strong> residents who share an interest in traveling<br />

together in their recreational vehicles from Class A to tent<br />

trailers.<br />

Our meetings are held at 4:00 p.m. on the last Tuesday of<br />

the month (except December, June and July) in the Penn<br />

Room at Independence Center. If you are interested in a<br />

great time and making new friends, please come to a<br />

meeting or contact President George Ormsby at 492-2542.<br />

<strong>Club</strong> <strong>Information</strong><br />

The Scrabble Plus <strong>Club</strong> meets on Friday afternoons from<br />

1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Emerson/Franklin Room at<br />

<strong>Anthem</strong> Center. Anyone not a member is welcome to join<br />

us as a guest for a friendly game of Scrabble. If you want to<br />

join, membership is open to all SCA residents for only $10<br />

a year.<br />

of the Day<br />

The Scrabble “Word of the Day” is COWLING. This is a<br />

removable cover of a vehicle or aircraft engine.<br />

As the times change, so do the rules in acceptable words in<br />

Scrabble. Over 3,000 new words have been added to<br />

the official dictionary, including several slang terms<br />

like “thang” and “grrl.” Turning the most heads is the<br />

inclusion of “innit,” a condensation of “isn’t it.” Two new<br />

“Q” words have been added that don’t require a “U.”<br />

“QIN” is a Chinese zither with strings stretched across a<br />

flat box while “FIQH” is an expansion of Islamic sharia<br />

law. The push is to make the game more relevant to a<br />

generation that’s more familiar with “Words with<br />

Friends.” The Scrabble Plus <strong>Club</strong> may not recognize these<br />

words yet. Until they are printed in the dictionaries used<br />

by the club, these words may still be on the outer edges.<br />

Let’s face it, it might be fun to earn 12 points by laying<br />

down “blingy,” but you certainly won’t impress the<br />

person across that table that has just dropped “Quixotry.”<br />

That’s some thang to keep in mind – innit?<br />

<strong>Club</strong> <strong>Information</strong><br />

The holiday season is fast approaching, and the members<br />

of the Sewing and Quilting <strong>Club</strong> are ready as always for all<br />

the holiday fun and traditions. Members are hard at work<br />

sewing, quilting, crocheting and knitting items for<br />

upcoming craft fairs and other community functions that<br />

the season brings. Our seasonal items such as placemats<br />

and table runners for autumn and winter holidays, as well<br />

as aprons and tree skirts are on display. Come into the<br />

sewing room and be impressed by the variety and<br />

craftsmanship of our items. Some of the profits are<br />

donated to charitable organizations and some goes to an<br />

elementary school that has been chosen by the group. We<br />

have shared interest groups that support these endeavors<br />

and perhaps one or more might be of interest to you.<br />

We have opportunities for fun and friendship. Our sewing<br />

room is available to members for use any time there is a<br />

monitor. We have member appreciation activities as well<br />

as a holiday luncheon in December. We offer classes for<br />

members who want to learn new skills or improve on<br />

existing skills. Our classes range from learning to use the<br />

sewing machine, learning to sew and quilt and learning<br />

how to knit and crochet. We have classes for more<br />

experienced sewers as well. All classes are taught by<br />

members who volunteer their time and talents. If you are<br />

SHANGHAI RUMMY (PUSH)<br />

If you enjoy cards that allow social conversation as you<br />

play a few hours, please join us on Mondays for Push<br />

(officially titled Shanghai Rummy.) Push is a variation of<br />

gin rummy, originating in China. The play consists of<br />

seven rounds of progressive sets of sets and runs, played<br />

by 3 or 4 people using 3 decks of cards. The number of<br />

cards held becomes quite a handful, so most players use<br />

card racks, sold by the club.<br />

We welcome new members, please join us. If you are new<br />

to the game, please call President Shirley LaChance at<br />

837-9924 to arrange a quick 10-minute instruction. Dues<br />

are $5.00 a year. The monies go toward our annual Holiday<br />

Party held the first Monday of December each year. This<br />

year's Holiday Party will be held at Ventano Restaurant,<br />

but you have to be a member to attend, so come in and join<br />

now. The weather is cooler and the people are nice and<br />

yes, even couples play.<br />

SOFTBALL<br />

Are you looking to start a new exercise program? Well here<br />

is a great way to give your body a fun wake up call every<br />

Tuesday and Friday morning.<br />

During the fall months, warm ups begin at 8:30 a.m. at<br />

<strong>Anthem</strong> Hills field, behind the Del Webb School on<br />

Reunion. Toss the ball around, take a few swings, shag a<br />

few balls and get to meet some of the members. We have a<br />

nice mix of retired and semi-retired men and women who<br />

enjoy the game, along with a little “razzing” here and there.<br />

At 9:00 a.m. or so we “choose up” teams’. This keeps<br />

the atmosphere more relaxed than set teams. It truly is<br />

a good time.<br />

Now you might think that you are not sure that the “old”<br />

body can still take it. Hmmmmm, we have all felt that at<br />

one time or another. No need to worry. Come join us as a<br />

guest for up to three times, you then make the choice of<br />

whether or not you would like to join. The club is open to<br />

all residents of <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong>. Yearly dues are $35.00.<br />

WOMEN’S GOLF<br />

Don’t forget the 3rd Annual Mixed Ryder Cup, combining<br />

members of both the Women’s and Men’s Golf <strong>Club</strong>s on<br />

October 17 & 18. The series is tied at one win each for the<br />

Revere Riders (the Red Team) and Paul’s Patriots (the Blue<br />

Team.) Gary Cranford of UBS, who sponsors both the<br />

Men’s and Women’s Golf <strong>Club</strong>s, will host a<br />

pre-tournament Challenger’s Cocktail Party on October<br />

16. The tournament dates changed after the September<br />

article by one day. Hopefully, all of you are signed up for<br />

this popular and fun event.<br />

Our <strong>Club</strong> Championship is also scheduled this month on<br />

October 30 & 31. One round will be played on the<br />

Lexington and the other on the Concord. An awards<br />

luncheon will follow the second day’s round. The<br />

tournament is flighted, so all members should plan to<br />

participate.<br />

After the summer break, our regular monthly meetings<br />

resumed in September. Our monthly meetings are<br />

normally held right after golf the first Tuesday of each<br />

month. You can earn an extra point towards playing in the<br />

Troon Cup, learn of upcoming events, get golf questions<br />

answered and learn about rules of golf by attending these<br />

meetings. Each month we reveal another “UBS Player of<br />

the Month,” sponsored by Gary Cranford. In addition, it is<br />

a good way to get to know and socialize with the other<br />

ladies in our <strong>Club</strong>.<br />

Members should be receiving their Holiday Party<br />

invitation in October, along with their 2013 statement for<br />

dues, hole-in-one pot, and Concord and Lexington<br />

Ringers. All members are welcome to attend the Holiday<br />

Party whether you play in the 18-hole group, the 9iners, or<br />

haven’t played in any of the play days. The Holiday Party<br />

Committee has special plans in the works for our party in<br />

December, so be sure to get your reservation in.<br />

The 9iners have changed their weekly play day from<br />

Thursday afternoons to Tuesday afternoons. This enables<br />

the 9iners to come early for lunch to join the 18-hole<br />

players after their round. Then the 9iners will head to the<br />

Concord.<br />

SCAWGC welcomes new members for 18-hole play on<br />

Tuesday mornings and 9-hole play on Tuesday afternoons.<br />

Please visit the website at scawgc.homestead.com or ask<br />

WOODCHIPS<br />

Some of the more popular projects completed by members<br />

of SCA Woodchips woodworking club are large and small<br />

furniture items suitable for use in SCA homes. Murphy<br />

beds for bedrooms and casitas are popular for their ability<br />

to fold up and provide space for multi-purpose use of the<br />

room. Small furniture items, such as end tables, coffee<br />

tables and magazine racks are always in demand and can<br />

be found under construction on a typical work day in<br />

our shop.<br />

Larger furniture items including beds, bookcases and<br />

chester drawers can be a challenge to build but many<br />

members regularly take on that challenge with high<br />

quality results. The pictures below show veteran<br />

woodworker Phil Menser with his recently completed<br />

barrister’s book case. It is built of walnut with raised-panel<br />

construction and glass-front doors. It has a clear finish that<br />

brings out the natural beauty of the walnut.<br />

Woodchips membership is open to all SCA residents for<br />

only $25.00 a year. After mandatory safety training, you<br />

will be on your way as a woodworker. Our shop, which is<br />

located at the rear of Independence Center, is open<br />

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for member training<br />

and shop projects; and Thursday through Saturday, 9:00<br />

a.m. – 2:00 p.m. for general member use. Check the<br />

Woodchips website at: www.scawoodchips.org for<br />

information on the club and pictures of many of our<br />

members’ projects. Stop by the shop or contact Dan<br />

Thanks to the wonders of modern<br />

neuromuscular dentistry, you can<br />

have dentures that restore your face<br />

to a more youthful appearance. In<br />

addition to offering optimal function<br />

and stability, as well as a more natural<br />

feel, this fully customized solution<br />

improves the muscle tone in your jaw<br />

and adequately supports your lips<br />

and cheeks, creating younger-looking<br />

facial fullness where there was once<br />

a prematurely aged, sunken-in effect.<br />

With a softer chin and fewer apparent<br />

wrinkles, many of our satisfied<br />

customers report that friends and<br />

family have been asking if they’ve<br />

had a face-lift! With this cutting-edge<br />

technology, you will enjoy complete<br />

comfort, greater confidence and a<br />

beautiful smile. Ask Dr. Hendrickson if<br />

restorative dentures are right for you<br />

and make a worthwhile investment in<br />

yourself today.
