From the Community Management
Anthem Fitness Center Manager — MaryAnn Rowland
MaryAnn Rowland has been your Anthem Fitness Center Manager since October 2004. Working closely with her colleague
Meg Poulson, together they bring you fitness programs and services available to all SCA members. Included in MaryAnn’s dayto-day
responsibilities is the management of the Fitness Center monitors and the monitors at the Independence Center checkin
desk. “We are fortunate to have a great team of 28 monitors
“We are fortunate to have a great team of
28 monitors that staff both centers, 7 days a

that staff both centers, 7 days a week and up to 16 hours per day.
Our focus and goal is to provide a friendly and inviting environment
for the 600 to 1000 SCA members that utilize the
Anthem Fitness Center daily, as well as the several hundred SCA
members that make use of the Independence Center each day.
As a department manager, each summer brings the start of a
new budget preparation season. We look at our previous
expense history and try to judge additional expenses that will
be needed due to the aging of our facilities and equipment due
to increased usage as the SCA population grows. It is a challenge
to anticipate which equipment will need to be replaced up to 18 months in advance! Determining when replacement
is the right decision rather than repairing an item is also tricky. It is a delicate balance between lifestyle and keeping dues as
low as practical.
MaryAnn also works closely with on-site service providers such as Serenity Day Spa, Fitness Specialist Group Personal
Trainers, St. Rose Wellness Center, tennis instructor Tom Soong, as well as the SCA Activities Department. It is a combined
effort to bring a variety of quality services to you so that you almost never need to the leave the community!
On a personal level, fitness has been a priority for MaryAnn since she became hooked on Jazzercise in the 1980’s. A
California native, she relocated to Henderson from Santa Rosa, California where she had lived for the past 25 years while
working for Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Technologies. MaryAnn has BS degree in Environmental Engineering and an MBA
in Management.
MaryAnn lives here at Sun City Anthem with her husband Mark and their two cats, Bogey and Chip. Sun City Anthem is
actually a family affair for MaryAnn - her
mother Mary, moved here from San Jose, and
her brother Steve and his wife DeeAnn (long
time Las Vegas residents) moved to Sun City
Anthem several years ago.
During her free time, she enjoys being a
member of the Performing Arts Club as an
Anthem Jazz Dancer. When it is time for a
vacation, you can usually find MaryAnn and
Mark scuba diving Mexico. ♦

SCA Committees:
AMONG OUR MOST VALUED ASSETS
Roz Berman
Board President
So you elected seven Board members to govern our Association. Then why
do you keep hearing that the Board also needs many volunteers to participate on
Committees? Why is it that the seven Board members cannot do all that needs
to be done in the governing positions we elected them to? Since a portion of our
assessments pays for RMI management company staff to implement all the
policies approved by the Board of Directors, what else needs to be done by
volunteers? After all, this is a retirement community. Each of us worked hard to
reach this point in our lives when we can just enjoy living in this resort-like
environment and not have to worry about more work.
I moved here in the year 2000, a few days after my retirement party at a
company I worked for in the prior 27 years. What a thrill it was to look forward to retirement and
living in Henderson. But wait, I moved into a Common Interest Community that requires volunteers
to govern the common interests. What was that all about, I wondered? Along with many other
homeowners, I had only a vague notion that I “belonged” to a community. Even though I had just
retired, I was still curious enough
“I soon realized the daunting challenge the
members of the community face. Led by the
Board of Directors and supported by various
committees, volunteer members of the Association
are responsible for creating the real sense of
community. It is primarily the volunteers
who set our tone and style.”
about what was involved that I
started to attend Board and committee
meetings. Since meetings
were an integral aspect of my long
career, I would not have even considered
attending more daily meetings.
At least these meetings were
held only on a monthly basis.
I soon realized the daunting
challenge the members of the community
face. Led by the Board of Directors and supported by various committees, volunteer
members of the Association are responsible for creating the real sense of community. It is primarily the
volunteers who set our tone and style.
No one expects an average Board member to understand everything about running a fitness center,
maintaining landscaping or managing legal issues. But if a Board member does something wrong, s/he
can be held liable for the result. Nevada Administrative Code 116.400 requires that Board Members
“ensure that the executive board consults with the appropriate professionals as necessary before making
major decisions affecting the association.” Committee members are some of these “professionals”
consulted by a homeowners association (HOA) board. Our volunteer committees are important in
controlling the costs of running Sun City Anthem. The Board could pay professionals for advice on
running the HOA, but the costs of hiring all the needed expertise would very quickly require large
assessment increases. Committees allow us to leverage the vast resources in our community for
everyone’s benefit. Continued on page 8.
Sun City Anthem • August 2008 7

From the Board President ...
Continued from page 7.
There are eight standing committees in Sun City Anthem:
Covenants; Architectural Review (ARC); Finance; Plans &
Processes; Property & Grounds; Lifestyle; Editorial Content
(ECC); and Elections, all of which have been chartered to assist the
Board in making the decisions affecting our community. In addition,
we recently authorized one advisory standing committee: Golf
Liaison. Two of the standing committees, ARC and Covenants, are
mandated by the CC&Rs and Bylaws, respectively. Elections and
ECC serve special, limited purposes, while Finance, Property &
Grounds, and Lifestyle form the basis for day-to-day operation of
the community. The Plans & Processes Committee is charged with
projecting our needs for the next few years, and for assuring that
our procedures will allow us to meet these needs.
Committee volunteers provide the eyes, the ears, and the experts
for the Board. Whether or not you’ve been motivated to join a
committee in the past, now is a great time to get involved and make
sure our Association is everything you want it to be. Sun City
Anthem is honored to have approximately 80 volunteers involved
in our various Committees.
You can check the “Committee News” section in the Spirit
magazine for committee schedules and contact information. All
residents are welcome to attend any of the committee meetings.
You may offer comments on committee business at the meetings
or in emails to the committee chairpersons. Many of our committees
currently have openings. If you are interested, I encourage
you to apply to fill the vacancies. Most of the openings do
not require a resume.
When I retired from the Finance Committee, after almost four
years of service, I realized how much I valued the opportunity I had
to make significant contributions to the well-being of Sun City
Anthem. I gained much knowledge about the governance of our
Association, and I had the pleasure of teaming up and interacting
with many other talented residents I might never have had the
pleasure of knowing in our vast community if I had not been a
volunteer. I hope you will have the opportunity to have a similar
experience. ♦

8 Sun City Anthem • August 2008

From the Board Treasurer ...
— SUN CITY ANTHEM TREASURER REPORT 2008 —
Sun City Anthem is a Common Interest Realty Association
(CIRA). All of the common areas including the Recreation
Centers and retaining walls throughout SCA were not purchased
by the Association, cannot be sold by the Association and do not
appear on the Association’s balance sheet. A CIRA’s primary function
is to maintain and replace common property. This is done
through a “Major Repairs and Replacement Fund” commonly
referred to as a reserve fund. This is money set aside for future
major repairs and replacements of the common property that is
separate from money used for operations. “Depreciation reserve”
that many of us are familiar with from business in our former lives
spreads the useful life of an asset over a period of years reducing
the value of the asset to zero. A CIRA, by depositing money into
the Reserve Fund, guarantees that funds will be available when
required for repair or replacement of the common property and
has the additional advantage of shielding those funds from
income tax.
Nevada Administrative Code 116 states the requirements for
the Management of Common Interest Communities as determined
by the Common Interest Communities Commission.
Section 116.415 requires the executive board to include in the
budget an estimate of the amount of reserve funds necessary in
the projected fiscal year. NAC 116.420 sets out the qualifications
of a person to conduct the reserve study and includes the ability
to evaluate the items on the component inventory with regard to
normal and accelerated deterioration, deferred maintenance,
remaining years of useful life and current cost to repair or replace.
The Reserve Study is used by the Executive Board to review
whether reserves are adequate, how the funds are being spent, and
the rate of funding. The Board of Directors determined that 90%
of recommended fully funded reserve was a prudent amount and
reserve contributions by residents in 2008 were increased to
$194.00 per household. Anticipated expenditures for 2008 are
estimated at $817,000 and with interest the projected ending balance
of $5,448,000 in the reserve fund will be 90% of the recommended
fully funded reserve of $6,059,000.
All Reserve Studies are available for review in the Community
Association Manager’s office during normal working hours.
The Reserves represent the funds available to repair and replace
our facilities as they age and 90% is a prudent level at the high
end of the recommended range of 70 – 100%. This is a reasonable
approach that will allow us to meet any contingency for
repairing our facilities (for example, major expenditures, or natural
or man-made disaster not covered by insurance). Also, as our
facilities age, the requirements for our Reserves can increase and
it would be financially irresponsible to reduce the funding level.
If the Reserves were inadequate you could be faced with large
assessments to preserve the Association, your lifestyle, and your
property values.
To further insure that any common-area construction defects
are addressed before expiration of the 10-year statute of limitations
the Board has hired the law firm of Feinberg, Grant,
Mayfield, Kaneda & Litt to bring these claims to DelWebb/Pulte.
Attorney Litt was at our June 26 Board meeting and he will be at
each Board meeting until all defects are identified and corrected.
The Board of Directors determined that
90% of recommended fully funded reserve
was a prudent amount and reserve contributions
by residents in 2008 were increased to $194.00
per household. Anticipated expenditures for
2008 are estimated at $817,000 and with
interest the projected ending balance of
$5,448,000 in the reserve fund will be
90% of the recommended fully funded
reserve of $6,059,000.
This article is intended to be a general overview of the
Association Reserves. It does not include any information on the
specialized Reserves maintained for the Villas and Pinnacles. It
also does not include a discussion of the recently completed
“Look-Back Study”. No monies will be included in the 2009
budget that is uncertain as to amount or date of receipt.
Budget planning meetings begin in August and are open to all
residents. A schedule of these meetings is included in the Spirit
and on the Community web site. Those desiring additional
information should plan on attending meetings of the Reserve
Study Task Force and the Finance Committee. The dates of all
meetings are posted on the Bulletin Board and on the
Community Web Site where you can also sign up for Email
“Blasts” notifying you of important happenings.
Feel free to call me at 897-0320 or send email to
SBCheri@aol.com. I look forward to hearing from you. ♦

Sun City Anthem — We’re proud to call it home!

Committee News
ARC – Thursdays, 9:00 a.m.
John Czak/Chairperson
Phone: 614-5811 Email: jczak1@cox.net
A Fresh Coat Of Paint - It’s hard to believe but our community is
nearly ten years old, and many of our homes need to be repainted.
Our Design Guidelines don’t require you to obtain ARC approval if
you repaint your homes in accordance with the original Color Scheme.
The Color Scheme is the combination of colors (typically three to five
colors) associated with a specific house and model number. The house
body and trim colors used in repainting must be from the color palette
and have the same finish/sheen used by the Developer when the home
was originally constructed. Paint used on the stucco body of the house
must have a flat finish. In addition, the colors must be applied on the
same specific areas of the house described in the Exterior Color
Application Specification
When your home was first purchased, the Developer provided a
Construction Specification that identified the Color Scheme, as well as
the model number, elevation and information on roof tile and masonry.
The Exterior Color Application Specification was also provided. If you
no longer have this information or have any questions about repainting,
please visit the ARC at our regular Thursday meeting at 9:00 a.m.
for assistance. This will ensure that your home is repainted in concert
with our Design Guidelines.
All our house colors have faded significantly in the hot Nevada sun
and it’s risky to determine paint colors from samples of your exterior
stucco. The ARC can provide you with all the original paint codes you
need to repaint your home along with a list of paint manufacturers that
may be used.
If you wish to change your paint colors, you must submit an application
to the ARC, just as you would for any change to the exterior of
you home. In this case, we will be happy to assist you in identifying the
Color Schemes available to you. Only one Color Scheme may be used
on any home. You can’t mix colors from different schemes. Irrespective
of which available Color Scheme you choose, the colors must be
applied in accordance with the Exterior Color Application
Specification appropriate for your home and model number.
We look forward to assisting you as you consider your painting
options. Working together, we can maintain the Developer’s original
design concepts and the aesthetic value they provide for our Sun City
Anthem community.

EMERGENCY
PREPAREDNESS GROUP
Meets July 14, 3:00 p.m.
Anthem Center
263-6378 retiredone@cox.net
As senior citizens, we could be at risk during an emergency
due to decreased sight, hearing, mobility and/or health issues.
We are not as quick to respond as needed in an emergency situation.
It is with this thought that the Emergency Preparedness
Group urges you to read the literature available in the kiosks in
the Anthem and Independence Centers. This literature should
provide information to help you to protect yourselves and your
loved ones if an emergency occurs. It is strongly recommended
that if you have special medical needs (wheelchair, oxygen, diabetes,
walker, etc.) that you complete the form available from
the kiosk, and submit it to the EPG. This will advise the EPG
volunteers of any and all special considerations in the wake of an
emergency so that help will be dispatched according to need.
One possible threat to our ideal life style is earthquake. The
Review Journal of May 14. 2008 Has an article about the Las
Vegas Valley earthquake faults. The article says…”…..at least 11
faults that either cross the valley’s floor or are located outside of
it are capable of a substantial jolt” The article further says that if
the Frenchman Mountain Fault (located in the mountains near
Nellis Air Force Base) caused a quake, there could be 200 to 800
fatalities, 3.000 to 11,000 people in need of shelter, and there
would be major damage to about 30,000 buildings in the Valley.
Needless to say, the monetary cost for this would be in the millions.
It is suggested that we all read the article, see the map
showing the faults.
Although we may never see an earthquake, the possibility is
frightening, It is hoped that all residents of Sun City be prepared
should an emergency occur. If you have some free time, you are
encouraged to volunteer with the EPG. For more information,
call Phil Barad, 263-6378. ♦
What does the EOC do?
A few months ago I wrote an article titled “WHAT IS
THE EOC”. I hope it provided some insight to the roll of
your Emergency Preparedness Group and the Emergency
Operations Center. In this article I will describe some of
the functions and responsibilities of the EOC during an
emergency.
Once it has been determined that an emergency event has
occurred the EOC cadre will report to the EOC. First order
of business is gather information and determine a course of
action. The magnitude of the disaster or incident will determine
what and how many resources will be needed.
Example: a minor earthquake typically would only require a
quick survey of the villages to determine if there were any
injuries or damage. This would be accomplished by use of
radio communication plan used by the District Coordinators
and Block Captains. The information would be relayed to the
EOC. The EOC would relay pertinent information back to
the District Coordinators for dissemination to the villages
through the Block Captains.
The next example would be if there was a major earthquake
and access to SCA was compromised. The EOC
would activate, establish radio contact with the District
Coordinators and City of Henderson. Available SCA
Emergency Preparedness Group volunteers would request
their teams to report, if possible, to the EOC. The teams consist
of volunteer doctors, nurses, security patrol, CERT personal,
and EOC staff. The EOC staff would develop an
action plan dependent on information from the District
Coordinators. A typical plan could include some or all of the
following:
Evacuation Plan – Determine level of evacuation, i.e.
Shelter in place, voluntary evacuation, mandatory evacuation
(by local authority only), establish traffic plan, establish pick
up sites, identify shelters, develop rehousing plan.
First Aid Plan – Establish First Aid Centers, establish
radio contact with EOC, determine required number of personal,
establish mobile first aid / triage teams, organize all
first aid and emergency equipment.
CERT Plan – Determine number of personnel available,
determine resources and vehicles available, dispatch CERT
personnel to requesting District Coordinators for assistance.
This brief description could in no way cover all the complexities
of a major incident, it only attempts to provide you
with description of what we are attempting to provide the
members of SCA. If it sounds interesting, we are always looking
for volunteers for any of the various staff positions. If
interested, contact Roy Prince (EOC Coordinator) 889-8221
or reprince@earthlink.net. ♦

Safety Issue on SCA Parkway
By Dave Servello, SCA Security Patrol Chief
Those residents who attended the Town Hall meeting on June 19, 2008 were advised that the SCA
Security Patrol (SP), with Phil Hight, P&G Committee member, attended a meeting with the Henderson
City Traffic Advisory Board (HCTAB) concerning the line-of-sight safety issues along the SCA
Parkway/Drive. I think every resident should know how and why this important discussion developed
and what it means to our community.
For the past five years the SCASP has made recommendations through the various SCA
Committees, The SCABOD, The Henderson City Traffic Engineering Department, and we even wrote
the Mayor and a Senator seeking specific security and safety measures for the Sun City Anthem
Community, such as the installation of Park Benches along the SCA Parkway/Drive, clearly marked or
illuminated Cross Walks at every intersection, Golf Cart lanes or Bike lanes along the Parkway/Drive
and on our Streets, Pedestrian Controlled Street Crossing Safety Devices, Increased Lighting in our
Public Parking Lots, Illuminated Street Lane Markers, Better Street Signs, and an increase in
HPDTraffic Patrols, among other things.
In 2007 two handicapped SCA residents (one with a vision problem and the other with a walking
problem) asked SCASP Chief if there was anything the SCASP could do to make crossing SCA
Parkway/Drive safer for them. We investigated the situation through a petition, through legal
research, and through studying HPD traffic accident statistics from 2003 thru May 2008.
Then we met Phil Hight, who is a forensic expert in traffic accidents and engineering, and who
serves on the SCA P&G Committee. We learned the SCA P&G Committee had been asked to complete
a “line of sight study at specific intersections.” Our only requirement was that we conduct the line
of sight measurements at all intersections. These measurements were completed in compliance with
State and Local Traffic Regulations. We discovered some intersections had a line of sight of less than
250 ft. for on-coming traffic, but only a few intersections had the full 500 ft. required for a 45 MPH
speed limit. This explained why the accident rate on the Parkway/Drive is increasing, and why it is
considered so dangerous. Phil Hight and SCASP Assistant Chief Phil Brown took photos of some of
the most dangerous Parkway locations, and of the streets and intersections in most of the surrounding
communities. We discovered the SCA community had none of the street safety devices that each
of the surrounding communities already have in place.
Our presentation to HCTAB included discussions and photographs presented by Phil Hight, Phil
Brown, and the SCASP Chief. We advised HCTAB that our primary mission was to make the Parkway
safer to drive on and to walk across. We pointed out the fact that no traffic safety study was conducted
as required by regulation, no noise abatement study was conducted, no traffic volume study
was completed, and no road or street markings were done. After our presentation HCTAB decided with
approval of the Henderson City Traffic Engineering Department to request the City Council to hire an
independent company to complete a line of sight survey on the SCA Parkway/Drive. They agreed to
allow SCASP and Phil Hight to be present and involved in the survey. Our presentation to HCTAB is
too extensive to include in this article, but we offered to present our findings and conclusions to the
SCABOD and in an Anthem Center Meeting Room where all interested residents could attend and ask
questions.
For example, the suggestion that the removal of all of the plants and trees along the SCA
Parkway/Drive would fix the line of sight problem, and that a few flashing intersection caution lights
will limit traffic accidents. We found such alterations would do little if anything to prevent a resident
from being hit by a vehicle while trying to cross the Parkway/Drive from any of the villages located
on the outside of the loop. We also found that many residents are not concerned with the safety of
others; they just want to drive on the Parkway faster.
It may be that without resident involvement this will be the last opportunity for SCA residents to
take control of their streets and roadways, or to have any input into any changes in the SCA
Parkway/Drive. The SCASP asks that every resident consider getting involved in community volunteer
work through our SCA Board, or on one or more of our Committees and Service Groups, such as the
Security Patrol. ♦

This tour offers two memorable theatrical selections as well as a
leisurely trip to Cedar City, Utah and the Shakespearean Festival
experience. Utah's Shakespearean Festival has been entertaining
audiences for forty-five years and is one of oldest and largest in
North America.
With “Brighton Beach Memoirs” Neil Simon combines his
trademark humor with poignant drama in this semi-autobiographical
play set in 1937 in Brighton Beach, New York. This
sentimental work captures a few days in the life of a struggling
Jewish household. The father laments, “If you didn’t have a
problem, you wouldn’t live in this house.”
The popular romantic farce, “Taming of the Shrew” finds
Petruchio wife hunting, and the object of his eye is Kate, also
known as “Kate the Cursed.” This clash of an irresistible force
with an immovable object produces explosive and madcap
results. This production is a bold and fresh look at the battle of
the sexes.

BY MEG POULSON
Steps To A Better Recovery
After an intense workout, what you eat and drink may determine
how quickly you come back.
Hydrate with a
balanced electrolyte
drink during and
after the workout.
(Avoid Gatorade,
Powerade and others
that are full of sugar)
Drink only enough
to maintain your
body weight. Water
loss from muscles
and the circulatory
system reduces the
electrolyte content of
the muscle and causes
fatigue.
Within 15 to 30
minutes of working
out consume carbohydrates
and proteins such as a protein shake or yogurt at a ratio
of 2.5 to 1 to replenish glycogen and speed muscle healing.
Consuming protein stimulates internal insulin release and exercising
improves muscle response to insulin, which makes the
muscles soak up glucose. This improved insulin response only
lasts for about 30-45 minutes. After that, muscles become resistant
to insulin and their ability to absorb glucose lessens.
To recover fully, eat a regular balanced meal within two hours.
Eating a balanced meal within two hours of exercising helps
maintain increased insulin levels and accelerated rates of recovery
for 4 to 6 hours.
Watch for “Living Food” cooking
classes coming in the Fall!
Live A Healthy Lifestyle !

volunteers will be returning to work with the students and staff
but more volunteers are needed to assist the new students and teachers
that will be at Hinman this year. Anyone considering helping students
in kindergarten through fifth grade should plan to attend an
orientation meeting on Wednesday, September 10 from 10:00 a.m,
-11:00 a.m. in the Concord Room to find out if this is something
you might like to do. Volunteers do not need to be former

Bid Whist
Fridays, 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m., Anthem Center Game Room
Whist is an international card game played around the world, having
been modified by each culture. It is the predecessor of Bridge and Bid
Whist.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Pullman porters watched
well-to-do passengers in the luxury sleeping cars of the railroad playing
Whist. The porters, who were mostly college educated, developed their
own version of the game and called it Bid Whist.
Since they played while on their runs, much of the game’s vocabulary
refers to travel on the railroad. The cross-country trip was from the
West Coast to Boston. Winning the game is known as “going all the way”
or “running a Boston.”
The game is played with teams of two or partners and the aim is to
get the most number of books to satisfy a bid. If the value sequence
is from high to low, it’s known as going “uptown” and if the sequence
is from low to high it’s known as going “downtown.”
Dues are only $10.00 a year and everyone is welcome. If you don’t
know the game, we’ll teach.

Donnizeti’’s La Fille Du Regiment,
sung in French, with English sub
titles, will be presented August 14 in
Freedom Hall.
Juan Diego Fiorez sings Tonio, and
Patrizia Ciofi portrays Marie in this
2006 production conducted by Riccardo
Frizza. Florez produced 9 high C’s in this recording and this opera is one
of Metropolitan Opera’s new productions which opened April 21, 2008.
It was the Met’s hottest ticket of the season and was sold out well before
the opening night. One critic wrote, “The applause for Florez’s aria led
to an encore that, while not entirely unexpected, went against a seldomviolated
Met tradition. He is probably the only tenor of his stature
singing today who is capable of producing 18 sold high C’s in a single
night...”. Members (and their house-guests) and residents, please join us
for this exciting production.

Important Information concerning Pets in the summer heat: During
the hot summer months, please leave your pets at home, not in the car.
As temperatures in some parking lots outside can soar above 120
degrees, temperatures in cars can soar above 150 degrees, even with the
windows partially open. Please know that parking in a shaded area in
hot weather gives minimal or no relief to the animal.

Pet of the Month: When Anne Salus’ male Papillon, Zuni, was 2 1 /2
years, Anne decided that Zuni needed some company. Zoe, a female
Papillon, was the runt of a litter,
and it was love at first sight for
Anne and Zuni. Zoe joined the
family. Anne says that “Zoe is a
love, very dainty, very feminine,
and very spoiled.” Zuni and Zoe
get along extremely well, but Zoe
shows him that she is the boss.
Zoe will sit on the edge of Anne’s
bed at night and block Zuni from
coming up. Anne says it’s a ritual, and she has to say loudly, “Zoe, let
Zuni up the dog steps.” Zuni is now 5 1 /2 and Zoe is 3 years old, but
they still play fight with each other, and they kiss, and clean each other.
According to Anne, “other than my son, Jason who is number #1, they
are right up there, and I can’t imagine my life without them. Zoe is the
little girl I never had, and Zuni is my special angel.”
The Pet Club is open to all Sun City Anthem Residents. Our members
have dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc. Some of our members don’t have
a pet of their own, but love animals and enjoy our informative and fun
meetings. For information, please contact President, Nancy Galbraith at

Women’s Golf Club. Gross and Net Awards were presented to fourplayer
teams in two flights — the Patriots and the Minutemen.
This was the second annual Invitational by the SC Women’s Golf
Club, which carried out a colonial theme. In addition to tournament
winners, many participants won fantastic raffle prizes from local golf
clubs, restaurants, and merchants.
On June 3, SCAWGC member Fran Johnson, who has only been
golfing for three years,
landed a Hole- In- One
on The Lexington’s hole
17, a 108 yard Par 3.
This was the first Hole-
In- One in a Women’s
Club playday event in
more than three years.
Fran will collect the
Hole-in-One pot of
$500 unless another
lucky member scores a
Hole-In-One by the end
of the year and shares the
pot. In keeping with
golfing tradition, Fran
picked up the tab for
drinks for fellow golfers.
Thanks, Fran!!!!

Empowering Yourselves As Homeowners
Knowing your rights as a homeowner will help you effectively
deal with contractors and avoid mishaps with unlicensed contractors.
When you need to repair or remodel your home, the Nevada
State Contractors Board has advice to help make your projects run
smoothly.
The NSCB recommends that you always hire licensed contractors.
Each licensed contractor must have a five-digit license number.
You can check a contractor’s license number by contacting the
NSCB, or by visiting our website at: www.nscb.state.nv.us. All
contractors are required to display their license number on all business
cards, bids, contracts, letterheads, websites, vehicles and advertisements.
If they don’t display or have this license number, they
are probably unlicensed.
We recommend that homeowners take the initiative, and get at
least three bids and ask for references. Check these references to
ensure the contractor’s credibility and past performance. You
should obtain only written contracts and understand them before
you sign anything. Do not accept verbal offers. It is important to
keep a record of all payments made, and never pay in cash. If you
want a pool or spa built, make sure to pay the contractor only 10
percent down or $1,000 whichever is less.
As a homeowner, you have the right to file a complaint with
the Board, if workmanship issues arise. You have four years from
the time your project is completed to file a complaint.
Complaints can be filed for both licensed and unlicensed contractors.
Go to our website to download complaint forms, or call us
at: (702) 486-1100.
Unlicensed contractors will approach you to solicit bids. Be
on the look out for high-pressure sales and contractors who
demand payments in cash, or ask you to obtain or pull building
permits. A contractor should never ask you to obtain building
permits.
To help protect people from unlicensed contractors, the NSCB
has created “Homeowners Beware!” door hangers, which warn
homeowners about unlicensed contractors. These door hangers
are designed to be distributed throughout neighborhoods and are
available free of charge to any homeowner willing to help distribute
them. Please join in the NSCB campaign to help protect
homeowners from becoming victims of unlicensed contractors.
For further information, or to request free door hangers, please
contact Ranya Botros, Public Information Assistant at: (702) 486-
1165, or e-mail her at rbotros@nscb.state.nv.us.
In the state of Nevada, it is against the law to contract without
a license. The first offense is a misdemeanor, second is a gross
misdemeanor and the third is a Class E Felony. The NSCB regulates
licensing of contractors and has the duty to protect the
health, welfare and safety of the public.
The NSCB would like homeowners to empower themselves
and become aware of their rights. Don’t become another victim

Save Water Automatically With A
Watering Group Assistant
The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA), in partnership with a
variety of irrigation and landscape companies, developed the Watering
Group Assistant device to help customers conserve water. The device
automatically prevents irrigation systems from running during prohibited
watering times by interrupting a watering clock’s signal. The SNWA is
seeking residential and commercial properties to participate in a study to
test these devices. During the study, the Watering Group Assistants will
be tested for ease of installation/use and overall effectiveness. To qualify
for the study, your landscape must consist of at least 25 percent grass.
Those interested in participating should visit snwa.com or call the
Conservation Division at 862-3760 and select option 2.
