SUN CITY ANTHEM BOARD OF DIRECTORSPresident’s ReportThank You! As you all know, July and August are slowermonths for the Association due to vacations and manymembers leaving town to beat the heat. Our Associationused this period of reduced facility use to resurface theAnthem Center parking lot and to replace the carpets andregrout the locker rooms in the Anthem Fitness Center. Wewant to thank our members who were here for theirperseverance during these projects.SCA rated best by a website devoted to finding the perfectretirement community. To read the article entitled “10Most Luxurious Active Adult Communities in the U.S.” goto http://www.55places.com/blog (check the Augustarchives if you don’t see the article.)Anthem View Restaurant. Our Association rejected theinitial request for approval of the transfer of ownership ofAnthem View Restaurant because Audra Tubin and FredSlark had not agreed to sale terms by the June 29 deadlineset by our Board. These individuals have now reachedagreement on the stock sale terms and they have asked ourBoard to approve this sale. Our Board set four conditionson this stock sale at its July meeting: (1) all taxes andvendor payables must be paid or suitable payment plansmust be executed, (2) Ms. Tubin and Mr. Slark must jointlyand severally hold the Association harmless from anyaction as a result of the stock transfer, (3) demonstration ofMr. Slark’s financial capacity to operate the restaurant asdetermined by the Association’s independent CPA firm,and (4) the personal guarantee of all lease terms by Mr.Slark. Our Board approved the commencement ofnegotiations on gambling in the restaurant at its May 26meeting, and this action continues to be the policy of ourAssociation. Any proposed lease changes that wouldallow gambling in the restaurant would have to beapproved by our Board at a public Board meeting.Posting draft documents on the SCA website. Our Boardestablished a new policy on posting draft documents forreview by our residents at its July meeting. The decision topost a draft document will be made by the President andone other director. Draft documents will be clearly markedas drafts. Committee chairs are encouraged to discuss theposting of draft documents developed by their committeeswith their Board liaisons. Because of the added cost ofposting documents several times (as drafts and asapproved documents), the plan is to only post draftdocuments of substantial importance to our residents.Board meeting location. The regular Board meeting inSeptember, October and November will be held in theDelaware Room. This is an experiment to determinewhether Freedom Hall or the Delaware Room works best.We will ask residents who attend these meetings to tell uswhere they think the meetings should be held.Yellow brass informational town hall. Our Associationwill hold informational meetings on the proposed yellowbrass litigation on behalf of our residents. Some of thelawyers involved in this litigation will explain it atmeetings held at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., on September 14,in Independence Center.Volunteer Service Agreement. At its April meeting,our Board accepted a draft of a Volunteer ServiceAgreement with the anticipation that the communitywould have an opportunity to comment on this documentbefore the Board took any action to implement it. A BoardWorkshop will be held for this purpose at 10:00 a.m., onSeptember 12, in the Delaware Room. Volunteers servingon committees and community service groups areespecially encouraged to attend. You can read the currentdraft by logging into the SCA website, then clicking on:Documents/ Board of Directors / Board Book / 2011 /April /39-BOD Volunteer Service Agreement.Q&AsWhat is the asset enhancement fee? This is a fee equal toone-third of the gross selling price of most home sales thatis paid to our Association. This fee was added to ourCovenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) in 2004by a petition signed by the owners of 67% of our homes.This fee provided revenues of $321,028 during 2010. OurBoard has traditionally used this fee as the primary sourceof funds for capital improvements (replacement of capitalitems is financed from the Reserve Fund.)Will our Association continue to collect this fee in thefuture? Yes. One of the 2011 laws has caused substantialconfusion on this issue. This law prohibits the impositionof new “private transfer fees” but it provides an exceptionfor fees that were imposed prior to May 20, 2011 if anadditional notice is recorded.Jim Long6 Sun City Anthem • September 2011

Committee ReportsARCArchitectural Subcommittee Plan Review Dates:2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month 9:00 a.m. to10:30 a.m. Anthem Center, Emerson/Franklin RoomRoger Hagen, Chairperson Email:rhagenlv@gmail.comBecause of the excessive summer heat, some residentswish to cool the interior of their garages. The use of evaporativecoolers, “swamp coolers,” is a common cost-effectivemethod of achieving this goal. Their installation requiresARC review and approval. The design guidelines specifythat they be ground-mounted no higher than 8 inches fromgrade measured at a point closest to the house or wallmountedwith the top of the cooler being no higher than 72inches from grade. They are to be located in the side yardproximal to the air conditioner and be screened from thestreet by a 15-gallon plant, a wall or a wrought iron fencewith perforated metal screening. Plastic or woodlattice-type materials are not acceptable.Other methods of heat reduction requiring ARC reviewhave included garage door painting or replacementwith more energy efficient materials. Finally, someresidents have insulated the interior of their garage door(no ARC approval required in this case).REMEMBER, your evaporative cooler must bemaintained in a manner that insures it does not become aserious health risk to you and your pets. See yourinstruction manual on how to clean or replace the filterslocated in your unit. Other periodic cleaning or flushingmay be required.The ARC subcommittee continues to review your plansevery 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month at 9:00 a.m. –10:30 a.m. in the Anthem Center.

Fox, Chairperson, at 260-8118or garyfox@omnidelta.comCare and Feeding InstructionsWhen I purchase replacement plants for ones therabbits have eaten, I find a sign stuck in the pot withinstructions for the plant’s care. I often have thoughtan additional warning should be added for rabbits,“Consumption of this plant may cause a decrease infertility.” But of course, rabbits can’t read! And ifthey did, a politically correct statement like “maycause” would probably be ignored.This brings me to a point I wish to make in regard toour new furnishings recently placed in the AnthemCenter. There are no signs stating the usageinstructions for these furnishings and if there were,they would probably be ignored. So in not sopolitically correct terms, “Treat the stuff in theCenters like it belongs to the most revered person youknow and as if you were visiting their home.”Many have found fault with the fabric choice or color,the style or texture of the Center’s replacementsand refurbishments. Wouldn’t life be boring if all7,000+ homes had the same décor choices? Neverhappen! But the fact remains neglect or misuse offurnishings causes a premature need for cleaning,repair or worse yet, replacement. We pay good moneyfor the care and replacement of Associationproperties, and like many things in life, if we treat ourfurnishings with respect they will grant us fewerheadaches and more enjoyment.My final thought is this: Utilize the Centers to theirfullest. They were built and are maintained for ouruse and enjoyment. While doing so, let’s be respectfulof our neighbors and their furnishings.The Properties and Grounds Committee supports theBoard of Directors in the management anddevelopment of our common amenities. We meet theTuesday preceding the second Thursday of the monthat 10:00 a.m., in the Arlington Room at AnthemCenter. Residents are always encouraged to attend,and to offer comments on our agenda items or otherconcerns. The approved meeting minutes for allP & G Meetings are posted on the SCA web site at:http://sca-hoa.org. Come join us.RESTAURANT ADVISORYCOMMITTEE (RAC)Michal Wolf - ChairpersonE-Mail: mwolf7@cox.netPhone: 405-8133At the July 28 2011 Board of Directors Regular Meeting,our Board voted 7-0 to approve the renewed request ofmajority shareholder Audra Tubin to transfer her interestin TNF Holdings Inc. to minority shareholder Fred Slark.Mr. Slark has been operating Anthem View Restaurantsince late June.The approval to transfer ownership of AVR was againmade subject to four conditions including: the requirementthat all taxes and vendor payables be paid in full (or thata payment plan be signed and in place); each partyshall jointly and severally hold SCA harmless from anyaction as a result of the transfer; Fred Slark mustdemonstrate his financial capacity to operate the businessand Mr. Slark must personally guarantee all lease terms.Remaining in full force and effect is the Board's previouslygranted approval to commence re-negotiation of theAnthem View lease to possibly permit gaming.Re-negotiated terms may include added rent, furthersecurity deposits, the restaurant's design and possibleremodel, and protection of the SCA Gallery lifestyle toallow gaming at Anthem View Restaurant pursuant to theMay 13, 2010 Lease Agreement Amendment.The decision to begin the re-negotiation of lease terms topermit gaming does not mean that video poker machinesare definitely coming to Anthem View Restaurant. TheBoard of Directors must first be convinced that anyre-configuration and/or enlargement of the bar area toaccommodate gaming will not adversely affect theambiance of the restaurant, gaming will not adverselyimpact the Gallery area of Anthem Center, and the newlease terms will benefit the residents of Sun City Anthem.As negotiations to possibly bring gaming to Anthem ViewRestaurant proceed, residents will be kept advised ofdevelopments. The RAC will conduct a Meeting withResidents and/or a Board Workshop will be held.12 Sun City Anthem • September 2011

Sun City AnthemCommunity PatrolThere have been recent reports of thefts of statuary, pottery, lighting, pots, plants and shrubbery inour Sun City Anthem villages. It would seem that these types of items are easily stolen, hard totrace, and can be sold at the local “swap meet.” Although involving more effort, someone diggingup plants and shrubbery can easily sell these to an unsuspecting homeowner. Being vigilant andreporting these offenses seem to be the only defense.There have also been reports of individuals going through trash and recycling bins late at night or inthe early mornings. Per the City of Henderson Municipal Code, this is illegal. If you see someonegoing through the trash or recycling bins, it should be reported immediately to the City at 267-5000,or “311.” To help avoid this activity, place your items out on pick-up day after daylight.Even though these events are occurring, Sun City Anthem has a very low crime rate. Here are some items to observe thatwill hopefully help to protect you and your property.• Criminals always look for an easy opportunity. Think of how you can make thingsmore difficult for them.• Keep a list of emergency contact numbers near your house phone.• Report on suspicious individuals & vehicles; note the time of day or evening, theirappearance or clothing, vehicle color, model, license plate number and any otherpertinent information.• Work vehicles, such as pickups, trucks and vans driving on our residential streetsbetween midnight and 6:00 a.m. would be considered suspicious.• Leave outside lights on and use motion sensors.• Keep the landscaping around your house trimmed away from the walls and sidesof your home.• If going away, make the house look “lived in.” Use timers that will turn on and offlights, TV, and radio at different times; stop your newspaper delivery.• Ask your neighbor to keep an eye on your property while gone, share house watchingduties.• Join your Community Neighborhood Watch program (CNWP) where “neighbors lookout for neighbors.”• Complete a Community Patrol House Check form if gone for three days or more.• Consider joining your Community Patrol. We help play a role in keeping the crime ratelow in our community.• Keep informed of events and issues in your SCA community by signing up for locale-mail blasts, go to http://sca-hoa.org on the Internet for more information.Air Conditioning, oningng, Appliance Services, Warrantiesanties$39 9515 pointPreventativeMaintenance ServiceBroward Factory Service 702-798-9720Not valid with other offers or prior purchases.FREEBroward Factory Service 702-798-9720Not valid with other offers or prior purchases.$500 OFFService Callwith any A/C repair($80 Value)Any NewA/C SystemBroward Factory Service 702-798-9720Not valid with other offers or prior purchases.Las Vegas .

Emergency PreparednessThis should not be the question you would ask if a fire isthreatening you or your home. First and foremost, SHOULD youattempt to put out a fire? Be certain of the following before attackingany fire: 911 was called, is the fire small and not spreading,the fire won't block your exit, you have the proper fireextinguisher, you know your extinguisher works, and finallyYOU KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR EXTINGUISHER.Reasons for NOT ATTEMPTING to extinguish a fire: Fire isspreading rapidly, you don't know what is burning, you don't havethe proper fire extinguisher, and there is too much smoke. HOWABOUT I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF TRYING TO PUT OUTTHE FIRE? Sounds good to me.Here is some basic information regarding fire extinguishment andfire extinguishers. There are several types of extinguishersdesigned for various types of fires, but the common ones usedin most cases are the “dry chemical” BC or ABC types. They areused for ordinary combustibles, type A (wood, paper, cardboard),flammable liquids, type B (gasoline, kerosene, thinner), firesinvolving electrical equipment, type C. These extinguishers arerated by their weight in pounds. The weight correlates to thesquare foot area for which the extinguisher is effective. Whenbuying an extinguisher consider where it will be used and for whattype of possible fire.Back to LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. So where should anextinguisher be placed? The most common areas for residentialfires are kitchens and garages. Too close to the source of ignitionis not good. Close to the kitchen in plain sight hanging on the wallnot higher than 5' or lower than 3' is the optimum place for thekitchen extinguisher. In the garage the extinguisher should not benear flammables or source of ignition (water heater) and hung atthe same height parameters as the kitchen extinguisher.LOCATION LOCATION LOCATIONWHERE DID I PUT THAT FIRE EXTINGUISHER???If you hide the extinguisher in a cabinet, closet, behind a door orin a drawer when you need it you may be surprised– LOST ITS CHARGE OR NOT EVEN THERE.Now for those of you that have or decided to purchase a fireextinguisher how do you CARE for this important tool? Care iseasy. First, don't hide it, make sure the pressure gauge reads inthe “green”, the nozzle is in good working order, the pin andtamper seal are intact and the extinguisher appears not to haveany dents, rust or signs of leaks.Your extinguisher is in good working order, is hanging or placedwhere it is easily accessible and you have decided to use it on asmall fire. Did you read the instructions before the fire occurred?It is too late now if you didn't. OK, so what is the first thing youshould do?CALL 911 AND REPORT THE FIRE BEFORE YOU DOANYTHING ELSE. If you don't make the call you maynever get that chance.A common guide for using a fire extinguisher is to use thisacronym “PASS.” “Pull the Pin” at the top of the extinguisher.“Aim at the base of the fire” not the flames. “Squeeze the leverslowly.” This will release the extinguishing agent. “Sweep fromside to side.” Use a sweeping motion from side to side advancingas the fire begins to diminish. Remember to aim at the base ofthe fire, not the flames. Once the fire is out, don't walk away.Watch for a possible rekindle. Remember to have theextinguisher recharged or replaced.Roy E PrinceEmergency Preparedness Groupreprince@earthlink.net702-889-822120 Sun City Anthem • September 2011

Fitness CornerBy Meg PoulsonSTRETCHING FUNDAMENTALSContrary to some beliefs, stretching should not“hurt.” However, as you exhale and graduallymove into each position, you will feel tensionslowly building in the muscles and connectivetissues. This is normal. The moment this tensionbegins to feel slightly uncomfortable, youshould stop the movement and sustain thisposition for a minimum of 15 seconds.Stretching can benefit all age groups and alllevels of fitness, relieving muscle stiffness,improving circulation and fending off potentialrepetitive stress injuries.I recommend gentle yoga to teach you how tobreathe, relax and stretch. All fitness levels arewelcome. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday andThursday from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. at theIndependence Center.AQUASTRETCH Wellness Programhas arrived at Liberty CenterWhat is AquaStretch?

Facilities/LandscapingSeptember-Landscape trimming ~ Commercial versus ResidentialOur grounds here at the center and streetscapes are maintained by commercial landscapers.Because their mode of operation is often puzzling to some people, I thoughtyou might be interested in knowing some of the basic differences between commercialand residential landscape maintenance. Each commercial landscaper’s crew is trainedto do a specific job which gives each employee more experience and expertise for theirjob assignment. For example, one crew will only mow lawns with a specific day to cometo the Anthem Center. Another crew only trims shrubs or works on irrigation and soforth. That is why, on any given day, you may see a crew only cut the grass and nottrim shrubs, as it will be done later by a different crew. Also, when the landscapers dostreetscapes, it may be several days or even a week or so before both sides of the streetare finished. The areas the crews cover are large and they work according to the mostefficient schedule set up for them by their manager.When we establish a landscape maintenance program with a commercial landscapecompany to take care of our properties, we and the landscaper tailor a program thatbest suits the overall look and aesthetic needs of the entire Community, which is bothefficient and cost effective. This program includes all the tree and shrub pruning,flower planting, fertilization, insect and disease management, lawn mowing and much more. Therefore, thelandscape crews can efficiently come in at their scheduled times and have each area taken care of properly,which also ensures optimal grass, plant and tree growth in future seasons. With this arrangement, we arestriving to achieve that our community always has the appearance of a well-maintained landscape.When a private resident hires a landscaper to maintain his yard, he is normally dealing with one person thathas a small crew that will spend a certain day doing the mowing and trimming on his property. Residentialmaintenance is far more personalized. The homeowner will consider his property's privacy, the style andoverall look that he wants to achieve. Choices are made on each plant and tree regarding how the homeownerprefers his landscape to look. Maybe a row of plants along the sidewalk will only be top trimmed so they growwider and cover more area whereas the neighbor next door prefers his plants be trimmed all the way aroundand rounded for a more estate-type look. Certain trees may be specifically trimmed for various reasons suchas giving shade to a seating area or creating a privacy screen. Obviously everyone has different ideas on howtheir landscape should look.IMPORTANT ~ As of September 1, we will be on SNWA’s mandatorywater schedule for fall. All residential and commercial irrigationclocks need to be set to water only three days a week. Here inAnthem, our watering days are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.Failure to adhere to this schedule could result in a water-waste feeor citation from SNWA.Does the featured photo look familiar? Yes, it is the courtyard at theIndependence Center. The flowering plants are Crape Myrtleshrubs which stay in bloom through most of the latesummer months.With the prime goal of keeping our community beautiful, I routinelywalk and inspect our grounds, interacting with the crews from threelandscape companies that maintain our landscaping. These areasinclude the grounds around the Centers, SCA streetscapes, desertrevegetation areas, the common areas and gate maintenance in Pinnacle Village, rock drains, and thelandscape around the duplex homes within our Community. If, from time-to-time, you have questions,comments or concerns regarding any of our properties, please don’t hesitate to contact me at (702) 614 5814.We always welcome the opportunity to answer you and due to my field work,your emails will usually receivethe quickest response - christine.noble@scacai.com.Thank you,Christine Noble, Landscape Supervisor“Caring for our Community”For information regarding building maintenance and other facility projects, contact our website: www.sca-hoa.org where the Facilitiesand Maintenance Section is maintained and frequently updated by Bruno Panek, Facilities Manager.September 2011 • Sun City Anthem 27

Other books are continuing to beprepared by members, with weekly readings of selectionsto be critiqued by members.The club’s “Round Tuit” competition is continuing. BethWilliams Medhus won in the category of “The Half-EmptyBottle Sat on the Table,” while Dick Rose won in thecategory of “A Fork in the Road.” The members areenjoying the challenges of these “out of thin air” sentenceswhich are proposed by the winners.In July, members Tamara Eaton and Elaine Stubbs made apresentation on working with the publisher, BookSurge.There have also been dialogue skits, where the membershave to guess the name of the author being interviewed.These are examples of the new and exciting (and yes, fun)things Anthem Authors experience.

This NetherlandsOpera production is a liverecording of the May 1992celebration performance ofthe 200th anniversary ofRossini’s birth.The Barber story is based onthe first of a series of threecomedies by the 18th centuryplaywright Beaumarchais.The plays – Il Barbiere de Siviglia, Le Mariage de Figaro andLa Mére Coupable - are sometimes known as the “Figarotrilogy” because they all star the hero, Figaro, barber andjack of all trades. The opera takes place in 17th centurySeville, and the first performance was in Rome in 1816. ItsClub Informationmusic and humor are as alive today as when the opera wasfirst produced 195 years ago.The Barber’s overture has an interesting history as well. Itseems Rossini was not good at creating new overtures foreach of his operas because the one played in the first TheBarber performance was said to be the same overture usedin earlier Rossini operas. Then, that overture was replacedby another that had also been used in at least two otheroperas. The overture you hear in this production is the onethat has endured as the “official” The Barber overture. AllOpera Lovers Club members and guests are welcome.PADDLE TENNISLiberty Center Courts Club SummerPlay Schedule still in effect…Tuesday,Thursday and Sunday mornings at7:3O a.m., Wednesday and Fridayevenings at 7:30 p.m. Try out one of ourfast-growing sports for active seniorsand choose a play time that suits yourpersonal lifestyle.Mark your calendars now as our Paddle Tennis Club’s nextmajor event for club members will be our second annual“FUZZ FRENZY II,” Saturday, October 15.
