PRESIDENT<br />

President’s Message<br />

The Heat<br />

Is On<br />

If you are on<br />

the golf course as<br />

much as I am . . .<br />

protect yourselves.<br />

Joe O’Connell,<br />

President,<br />

SCSCAI Board<br />

of Directors<br />

It is getting officially “hot.” Be careful with<br />

the heat, and use a lot of sunscreen. I have<br />

suffered many dermatologist visits with<br />

removal and freezing of sun spots. If you are on<br />

the golf course as much as I am (not as much as<br />

be<strong>for</strong>e the Board), or out on our tennis or<br />

pickleball courts, protect yourselves. Only softball<br />

players don’t have to worry about the sun.<br />

e rest of us need to be careful.<br />

Members of your Board of Directors are<br />

not perfect people, but they are volunteers, who<br />

spend a great deal of their time trying to do the<br />

right things <strong>for</strong> this Association. If you strongly<br />

disagree with a decision or many decisions,<br />

maybe you should think about running <strong>for</strong> the<br />

Board next year. is next election is the start<br />

of the three-year terms. We need honest, hardworking<br />

people to get on the Board.<br />

If there are issues you are interested in, start<br />

by going to the respective committee – <strong>for</strong> example,<br />

the Finance Committee <strong>for</strong> the budget,<br />

or Golf Oversight <strong>for</strong> course-related issues. e<br />

Common Area Properties Committee reviews<br />

all items where signi cant funds are spent <strong>for</strong><br />

our Association. When you attend a Board<br />

meeting because you an item on the agenda, it<br />

is too late to simply state that you do like it.<br />

Most of our residents are pretty happy with<br />

the actions of the past Boards. Your volunteers<br />

have kept the cost of living here in Sun City very<br />

low <strong>for</strong> what we offer. Please consider being<br />

one of the volunteers and sign up this fall.<br />

hip-hop. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes,<br />

dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be<br />

deciding which traditions you take with you and which ones you<br />

PREPAREDNESS<br />

Neighborhood Watch<br />

Incarcerated<br />

Burglars<br />

Tell What<br />

Does/Doesn’t<br />

Stop Them<br />

Part II<br />

If a homeowner<br />

has a big, loud<br />

dog most burglars<br />

stay away. Smaller<br />

dogs don’t seem to<br />

bother them.<br />

Barbara Holden<br />

CPC/Neighborhood<br />

Watch Committee<br />

Chairwoman<br />

(Editor’s note: This is part II of a story that first appeared in the May <strong>Link</strong>. It was compiled by <strong>Link</strong> editorial board<br />

member Ellen Greenspan from more expansive coverage on community crime that aired in April on KGW-TV in<br />

Portland, Ore. To read the full version of the story, visit the community tab of the <strong>Link</strong>’s website, suncitylink.com.)<br />

Kyle Iboshi, a senior investigative reporter<br />

<strong>for</strong> KGW-TV in Portland, Ore., questioned<br />

86 inmates currently serving time <strong>for</strong><br />

burglary in Portland’s Department of Corrections.<br />

e burglars responded to questions detailing<br />

how they broke into, as well as what they were<br />

looking <strong>for</strong> during home burglaries. What the<br />

reporter learned could help keep others from<br />

becoming a target.<br />

Did posted home security signs deter you?<br />

Burglars had mixed opinions about home security<br />

systems. Some burglars said signs didn’t<br />

faze them. Others knew how to disable alarms<br />

or avoid setting them off, but most said they<br />

would leave immediately if an alarm did go off.<br />

If there was a visible security camera, would it<br />

keep you from breaking in? Burglars agreed<br />

that security cameras were a deterrent, but<br />

added that a camera also signaled valuables<br />

inside the home.<br />

If you heard a radio or TV inside the home,<br />

would you still break in? Most burglars feared<br />

someone might be home if they heard a radio<br />

or TV and said they wouldn’t break in. “Absolutely<br />

not,” wrote a burglar.<br />

Did you ever do surveillance on a home, and<br />

if so what were you trying to learn? “Who<br />

lives in the home, what are their weekday<br />

schedules (weekends are too unpredictable),<br />

what do they drive, is there a dog,” wrote one<br />

inmate. “What time the house would be<br />

empty,” answered another.<br />

Cash and credit cards are the ultimate nd.<br />

Jewelry and guns are almost as good as cash. “If<br />

I got guns, they were easy to sell,” said a <strong>for</strong>mer<br />

burglar. Laptops, phones and other electronics<br />

are easy to take and can quickly be sold. “ e<br />

main thing I hunted <strong>for</strong> in a home was a<br />

removable safe or locked box,” one burglar<br />

wrote. “I would leave everything else to get a<br />

safe that I could carry.”<br />

Burglars aren’t going to remove a heavy safe<br />

from the home. Large safes and safes bolted<br />

into the oor or wall are too difficult to deal<br />

with. “Safes that cannot be picked up or carried<br />

off are too much work <strong>for</strong> possibly no reward.”<br />

What can homeowners do to avoid being burglarized?<br />

“Alert police if you see something suspicious<br />

at a neighbor’s home. Know your<br />

neighbors so you recognize different people in<br />

the neighborhood. Be neighborly. Neighbors<br />

can be one of the best security systems. Have a<br />

true neighborhood watch,” recommended a convicted<br />

burglar.<br />

Hole-in-One Counts on Mini Golf Course, Too<br />

A hole-in-one is a hole in one, right? If that’s true, then sinking three<br />

hole-in-ones on the same course in the same day has got to be some kind<br />

of record, and props need to be paid. At least that’s what Sharon and<br />

Paul Beilman, right, thought when their friend Bob Castille, left, managed<br />

the feat on April 14 at the mini golf course at Mountain Shadows.<br />

We couldn’t agree more. Congratulations, Bob!<br />

SCSCAI WORKS<br />

BOD Members Are SCSCAI<br />

Volunteers<br />

Day-to-day operations of SCSCAI are the<br />

responsibility of a professional staff that<br />

reports to the Executive Director.<br />

In this world, it seems everyone has a<br />

boss and SCSCAI is no different. Executive<br />

Director Paul Henderson reports to<br />

the Board of Directors – nine members<br />

who are elected by homeowners. Unlike<br />

Mr. Henderson’s employees, the BOD are<br />

all volunteers. In fact, according to BOD<br />

President Joe O’Connell, Board members<br />

put in as many as 35 hours each week per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />

their duties. Collectively, they<br />

average 600 hours a month. You might<br />

think about that the next time you interact<br />

with a Board member.<br />

Continuing along, Sun City’s organizational<br />

chart looks like this: The Board of<br />

Directors, the Executive Director and nine<br />

department managers who head up building<br />

maintenance, community services,<br />

community standards, fitness, food and<br />

beverage, golf course maintenance, golf<br />

course operations, landscape and link.<br />

All available positions, some full time<br />

with appropriate benefits, others part<br />

time, are listed on the Association’s<br />

website, www.scscai.com. To view current<br />

Former BOD President David Steinman’s<br />

Fire House Legacy Lives On<br />

More than 50 business colleagues, friends and residents turned<br />

out to honor the memory of <strong>for</strong>mer SCSCAI Board President<br />

David Steinman on April 26 as Las Vegas City Councilman<br />

Stavros Anthony dedicated Las Vegas Fire & Rescue Station<br />

107’s community room to one of Sun City’s favorite sons.<br />

Pointing to guests gathered around the engine bay, Councilman<br />

Anthony talked about how during the station’s construction,<br />

David could often be found at the site.<br />

“I believe he was out here every single day to make sure<br />

the station was done to his speci cations and that it was<br />

done correctly,” he said. “And this is what we ended up with<br />

– a beautiful re house.”<br />

When thinking about how he could best honor his friend<br />

in Sun City, Councilman Anthony said that the idea of naming<br />

the station’s community room came to mind.<br />

e idea was one of several proposed to the city following<br />

David’s passing in January.<br />

One by one, several speakers took to the podium recalling<br />

memories of their dear friend, including Las Vegas City<br />

Mayor Carolyn Goodman, Las Vegas Fire & Rescue Fire<br />

Chief William McDonald and Mountain View Presbyterian<br />

Church Pastor David W. Dendy.<br />

BOD President Joe O’Connell shared a poignant memory<br />

of how he and David attended the grand opening of<br />

Palm Valley’s 9th hole, which had to be redesigned following<br />

the re station’s ground breaking.<br />

“David was the rst to drive off the 9th tee and I was<br />

<strong>for</strong>tunately the second,” Joe said.<br />

“David was a very good friend of mine. He’s the main reason<br />

I’m on the Board today and the No. 1 reason why I got<br />

involved. He loved his family and his beautiful wife, whom<br />

he talked about all the time.”<br />

With that, Councilman Anthony welcomed David’s wife,<br />

Madeleine to the podium <strong>for</strong> the last word.<br />

“ ank you all <strong>for</strong> coming today,” she said. “ ank you <strong>for</strong><br />

honoring my husband.”<br />

Do You Know?<br />

How Age Matters in Sun City<br />

“Even though many new residents are in the younger age<br />

brackets, the average age has remained virtually the same,”<br />

said longtime BOD member Ken Caroccia. In fact, compared<br />

to the membership in 2008, Sun City’s current membership<br />

is only 2 years older even though nine years has<br />

passed. How is that possible? The answer points to how<br />

many of us are living longer.<br />

Age No. of No. of<br />

Bracket Residents 2008 Residents <strong>2017</strong><br />

Under 55 438 299<br />

55-60 643 526<br />

60-64 1,364 997<br />

65-70 2,093 1761<br />

90-94 211 561<br />

95-100 30 122<br />

100+ 3 20<br />

Notice the trend: In the past nine years, the number of residents<br />

in the 95-100 age bracket has increased more<br />

than 400 percent. Where we only had three residents<br />

over 100 in 2008, we now have 20, a 700 percent<br />

increase. The same could be said of the 85 to 95 brackets,<br />

where there has been significant increases.<br />

Throughout the years, the ratio of men to women has<br />

remained constant – 45 to 55 percent. Similarly, the average<br />

age of our male population has consistently been two<br />

years older than our women, 77 versus 75, today. In 2008,<br />

it was 74 versus 72.<br />

FITNESS: Team Members Find Fun, Innovative Ways to<br />

he Fitness Department of Sun City Summerlin Community Association, Inc., touches the lives of roughly 1,500<br />

Tresidents a day. Our mission is to help residents stay healthy and active <strong>for</strong> a longer and fuller life. We<br />

pursue that goal through two avenues – our fitness centers and our health and wellness programs.<br />

OUR TEAM<br />

The lifeblood of the Fitness Department is our people! Every<br />

member of the fitness team is an example of active, vibrant<br />

living. You can catch many of our team members during<br />

their off-duty time swimming, playing sports, dancing,<br />

serving with community health organizations, teaching<br />

and more.<br />

Kristie McWhorter, our fitness manager, holds a master’s<br />

degree in exercise physiology and has been with us <strong>for</strong> 10<br />

years. She is also a certified senior fitness specialist, an<br />

ACE-certified personal trainer and a group exercise<br />

instructor, as well as a functional aging specialist. She is<br />

an active health ambassador within our community as well<br />

as outside. One of her passions has been improving balance<br />

and falls prevention. She has spearheaded falls prevention<br />

programs in Sun City <strong>for</strong> several years running.<br />

She also represents Sun City Summerlin as a member of<br />

the Nevada Goes Falls Free Coalition and promotes falls<br />

prevention in the Las Vegas community.<br />

Heather Senn is our assistant to the fitness manager. She<br />

is a certified health education specialist, holds a bache-<br />

lor’s degree in public health and is a physical therapist<br />

assistant. She is the main coordinator of the health and wellness<br />

programs, including the monthly health education<br />

seminars and the annual health fair. Heather began a<br />

new diabetes empowerment education program <strong>for</strong> residents<br />

this year that made a great impact in many of our resident’s<br />

lives.<br />

Charli Douglass, fitness specialist, is a certified senior fitness<br />

specialist and ACE-certified personal fitness trainer<br />

and group exercise instructor. You may have caught up with<br />

her at a fitness center, or read one of her “Charli’s Corner”<br />

monthly features in the <strong>Link</strong> that focus on proper technique,<br />

types of workout plans and making exercise science<br />

easier to understand.<br />

Pam Shields, fitness specialist, is certified senior fitness<br />

specialist, an ACE-certified personal fitness trainer and a<br />

group exercise instructor as well as a functional aging specialist.<br />

She also is a member of the Alzheimer’s Association<br />

Speakers Bureau. She oversees our fitness department<br />

equipment maintenance program, keeping our exercise equipment<br />

in top shape. You’ll also be seeing more of her as she<br />

launches the “Use It or Lose It: Brain Health Program,” a<br />

four-week program to help residents understand how different<br />

aspects of life interact <strong>for</strong> optimal brain health.<br />

Keep Residents Healthy, Active<br />

fitness classes at the Desert Vista Fitness Center. These include Sit<br />

& Be Fit, Body Sculpting and Core Strength & Balance. Heather joins<br />

Pam and Charli in teaching equipment orientation classes <strong>for</strong> residents<br />

at each fitness center, showing how the equipment operates, important<br />

safety features and talking about creating basic workout plans.<br />

Our team also includes a top-drawer crew of 40 fitness/pool<br />

monitors. They make a busy, multi-faceted job look easy. One thing<br />

you may not know is that while they keep things humming along<br />

with a smile, they are also keeping a keen watch out <strong>for</strong> your safety<br />

and well-being while you are enjoying the facilities. All monitors are<br />

trained in CPR, first aid and basic water safety, and they all serve as<br />

“first responders” <strong>for</strong> residents and guests experiencing health<br />

issues while using the fitness centers. While we would wish they<br />

never had to use that knowledge, we salute our hometown heroes<br />

whose quick thinking and action has helped prevent more than a<br />

few serious situations <strong>for</strong> residents and guests over the years.<br />

FITNESS CENTERS<br />

Our four fitness centers are our most visible, tangible aspect of the<br />

Fitness Department. No matter where you live in Sun City Summerlin,<br />

there is a fitness center within a couple of miles of you that offers a<br />

menu of options to support an active lifestyle. Each center boasts at<br />

least one pool and spa, and through the entire network of centers,<br />

residents have access to tennis, basketball, racquetball, pickleball,<br />

bocci ball, miniature golf, walking paths, cardio and resistance<br />

training equipment, and group fitness classes.<br />

Unlike our social halls, fitness centers are private<br />

facilities and non-residents must be accompanied by a<br />

Use It or Lose It!<br />

Healthy Brain Program<br />

Mondays<br />

July 10, 17, 24 & 31, 1-3 p.m. & 6-8 p.m.<br />

Desert Vista Community Center. Sign up<br />

with the Desert Vista Social Monitor.<br />

Questions? Call Pam Shields, 255-2294.<br />

If you’re looking to increase your understanding<br />

of brain health and promote a brain-healthy<br />

lifestyle, this workshop is <strong>for</strong> you.<br />

The four-session course will provide you<br />

with all the necessary tools and tips. Numerous<br />

studies have shown that brain health is multifaceted.<br />

It is not just about exercise, nutrition<br />

or playing brain games. If you are looking to<br />

support thinking skills and reduce the risk of<br />

serious memory loss, you must engage in different<br />

ways. This includes a focus on physical,<br />

mental and emotional health.<br />

The Use It or Lose It! program, based on the<br />

Cleveland Clinic’s 6 Pillars of Brain Health, consists<br />

of a series of four two-hour workshops.<br />

The workshops include a mixture of lecture,<br />

discussion, activities and exercises aimed at<br />

improving the long-term brain health in<br />

cognitively healthy adults. Because the program<br />

focuses on prevention and not treatment, participants<br />

must be free of significant memory<br />

impairment, such as diagnosis of Alzheimer’s<br />

or a related memory disorder, or other<br />

cognitive compromises that may impact their<br />

ability to benefit from the course.<br />

~ Pam Shields, CPT, GFI fitness specialist<br />

ist


esident with a current Association ID to use the facilities as<br />

a guest. All households are allotted 24 guest passes per year.<br />

As an active adult, 55+ community, fitness centers are not open<br />

<strong>for</strong> children under the age of 19, except <strong>for</strong> dedicated times<br />

<strong>for</strong> children accompanied by resident adults to use pool<br />

facilities at Desert Vista, Mountain Shadows and Pinnacle.<br />

Some of the most important questions around our Fitness<br />

facilities have to do with some other accessibility issues:<br />

w Caregiver Access – Contact the fitness manager with a<br />

doctor’s letter and she will guide you through the process<br />

of getting your caregiver set up to access the center with<br />

you. They will be able to get a special ID card and you can<br />

preserve your guest passes <strong>for</strong> family and friends.<br />

• Longer-Stay Family Caregivers – Contact the fitness<br />

manager with a doctor’s letter and she will authorize temporary<br />

access to a family member/s caring <strong>for</strong> a resident<br />

<strong>for</strong> an extended period.<br />

• Medical Discharge to Community Exercise – Need to<br />

bring a physical or occupational therapist, a sports medicine<br />

physician, or a cardiac rehab specialist with you to help<br />

you set up a post-rehabilitation exercise program? Have<br />

the provider contact the fitness manager ahead of time to<br />

authorize their visit. You will need to use a guest pass <strong>for</strong><br />

the visit as certain liabilities are at stake. Obtaining prior<br />

approval helps ensure a smooth, professional experience<br />

<strong>for</strong> this important part of your plan of care. Additionally, by<br />

having your healthcare professional speak with us, we can<br />

exchange valuable in<strong>for</strong>mation about other resources that<br />

will support your continued recovery during the transition.<br />

• Support Animals – You can apply <strong>for</strong> a special permit<br />

from the Administration Department. You’ll need supporting<br />

documentation from a physician. After approval, your<br />

animal will officially join you on your Association ID.<br />

HEALTH & WELLNESS PROGRAMS<br />

Less visible but no less important, our health and wellness<br />

programs complement our fitness centers by empowering<br />

residents to greater health, function and well-being. We<br />

support a healthy community by partnering with about 60<br />

local healthcare providers to bring timely, relevant and<br />

accurate health in<strong>for</strong>mation to you <strong>for</strong> monthly screenings,<br />

seminars and workshops. Through these relationships, in<br />

2016 alone, Sun City Summerlin was able to host 55 health<br />

education seminars completely free of charge to residents!<br />

Our Annual Fall Health Fair and Flu Shot Clinic boasts<br />

an average attendance of 900 residents, and our Annual<br />

Spring Walk brings out about 100 runners and walkers.<br />

THAT LITTLE EXTRA<br />

In addition to all this already great stuff, the Fitness<br />

Department contracts with an on-site licensed massage<br />

therapist, Deborah Butterfield, whose massage studio is<br />

located at the Pinnacle Fitness Center; and two nationally<br />

certified personal fitness trainers, Daria Clarke and Cece<br />

Ceccarini. Both of these amenities take Sun City<br />

Summerlin to the next level of service <strong>for</strong> our residents.<br />

Have you heard this one:<br />

“Good Fences Make<br />

Good Neighbors?”<br />

Boundaries help us<br />

respect each other and<br />

get along better. One such<br />

boundary in our fitness centers is our 30-minute courtesy<br />

time limit on cardio equipment, which includes warm-up<br />

and cool-down time. Remember, the person waiting could<br />

be you – so treat others as you wish to be treated. You can<br />

always try out a different machine to get extra time – and<br />

get a fitness boost in the bargain!<br />

R<br />

emember when you married the person<br />

you loved and the kids came along? If<br />

you were lucky, Mom got the sitter, Dad<br />

shaved the 5 o’clock shadow and you both had<br />

a date night – using your rst names while<br />

enjoying a glass of wine or beer. If not date<br />

night, then maybe when the kids were asleep,<br />

at the end of the week, there was time <strong>for</strong> cocktails<br />

and catch-up.<br />

who ag the patrol car with questions, along<br />

with other duties. e 1,600-hour drivers get to<br />

see the deep orange, brilliant pink and purple<br />

sunsets in winter. In the twilight hours, these<br />

volunteers begin checking on Association properties.<br />

Joseph and Rousana Tao drive the 2000-hour<br />

shift (eight to midnight.) “We have been driving<br />

<strong>for</strong> four years. We give back to the community<br />

Chief<br />

Well, now you are retired and the kids live a<br />

few states away, and there is time. Security<br />

Patrol offers a new spin on date night. In fact,<br />

about 20 couples are members of Security<br />

Patrol, and they drive together <strong>for</strong> four hours<br />

once a week.<br />

Couples who enjoy the magni cent desert<br />

sunrise drive the 4 to 8 a.m. shift. Murray and<br />

Linda Rosner have been driving the 0400 shift<br />

<strong>for</strong> six years. “We owe something to this community,<br />

and there is a sense of adventure driving<br />

at 4 a.m.,” said Murray. “Surprising things<br />

can show up, like a 911 light or a suspicious situation.<br />

Sometimes, Linda and I will go to<br />

breakfast at the Tavern at the Falls after our<br />

shift is over.”<br />

Early morning-risers drive 8 a.m. to noon.<br />

Together, they check homes <strong>for</strong> neighbors on<br />

vacation. Afternoon drivers keep an eye out <strong>for</strong><br />

suspicious vehicles; talk with the neighbors<br />

doing this,” said Rousana. “We enjoy working<br />

with the other drivers on this shift. ey are<br />

nice people.” Joseph is also on Security’s IT<br />

staff.<br />

e 2000 shift isn’t easy. Security Patrol<br />

volunteers knock on doors, letting residents<br />

know their garage door is open. Other duties<br />

include checking Association property doors<br />

(all 203 doors, plus gates and restroom doors.)<br />

Perhaps not much catching-up conversation<br />

goes on during this shift.<br />

e midnight to 4 a.m. drivers are busy<br />

keeping our community safe while most residents<br />

are sleeping. ey check out suspicious<br />

vehicles, the 911 lights and the occasional open<br />

garage door.<br />

Most important, drivers on all shifts are<br />

neighbors helping neighbors. Come, join us.<br />

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE<br />

ARTHUR PATTON<br />

Another Day, Another Dollop in the Merchant Marine<br />

It wasn’t very glamorous duty; it was a job. One that<br />

had to be done because without it, the invasion of<br />

France in 1944 and the island-hopping campaigns of<br />

the Pacific would have been virtually impossible. That<br />

job was serving in the Merchant Marine. It was vital<br />

because nearly all the troops and every truck, tank,<br />

cannon, and the bullets, shells and fuel that they<br />

required, was transported by ship — and the enemy<br />

knew that. A greater percentage of those serving aboard<br />

merchant ships in WWII died in the line of duty than all of<br />

the other U.S. Services – 1 in 26 mariners.<br />

One of those serving<br />

mariners was<br />

Sun City resident and<br />

Military & Friends<br />

Club member Arthur<br />

Patton. When asked<br />

why he joined the<br />

Merchant Marine,<br />

especially in light<br />

of the casualty<br />

figures, he replied,<br />

“We didn’t know<br />

how dangerous it<br />

was.” (All through<br />

the war the government<br />

minimized the<br />

damage being done<br />

to our shipping to<br />

prevent the enemy<br />

from learning how<br />

effective the submarine attacks were.) “I was about to<br />

turn 18 and the draft was waiting. A friend of mine had<br />

signed up <strong>for</strong> the Merchant Marine and told me the pay<br />

was four times higher than the Navy’s, so I joined just<br />

be<strong>for</strong>e my birthday in 1944.”<br />

Arthur served on a number of ships in both the<br />

Atlantic and Pacific, mostly troop transports. He sailed<br />

from New York to Liverpool, England, and Le Harve,<br />

France, bringing fresh troops to that theater be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

transiting the Panama Canal to support the fighting in<br />

the Philippines, Guam and Saipan.<br />

The ships he served on weren’t the famous ones we<br />

all know. They were the S.S. General John Pope, the S.S.<br />

Cody Victory, the S.S. Marine Dragon and the S.S.<br />

Sheephead. Names that were little known then, except to<br />

those who sailed on them and certainly <strong>for</strong>gotten now.<br />

Both Arthur and his ships were among the lucky ones;<br />

they never became a part of the 1 in 26 who died.<br />

“Most of the time, I served on troop transports. When<br />

the war ended, our job did not. All of those troops had to<br />

be ferried home. So, we made runs from Japan to Seattle.<br />

Later, we returned<br />

to the East Coast to<br />

bring German POWs<br />

home to Bremen,<br />

Germany. That may<br />

have been the greatest<br />

crossing. I had<br />

five POWs assigned<br />

to help me in my<br />

duties as storekeeper.<br />

One of them<br />

spoke excellent<br />

English and that<br />

made my job much<br />

easier.”<br />

Arthur left the<br />

Merchant Marine in<br />

1947. Like so many<br />

of his generation, the<br />

war is just a distant<br />

memory. He moved on, became an auto mechanic,<br />

married, raised a family and eventually came to Las<br />

Vegas in 1962, finishing his career with Nevada Energy.<br />

Arthur Patton as he served in the Merchant Marine. Arthur today displaying<br />

a photo of his favorite ship, the S.S. General John Pope, a troop<br />

transport.<br />

(Thank you to the Military & Friends Club <strong>for</strong> helping<br />

the <strong>Link</strong> locate and share the stories of our community’s<br />

servicemen and women. If you are a United States veteran<br />

Sun City Couples Committed to Supporting Golf Program<br />

Sun City Golf Ambassador Committee members are, clockwise from top left, Amos and Rita Barcus, Dave and Chris<br />

Klee, Debby and Barry Smith, Eileen and Bob de Doelder, Margy and Carl Johnson, Mona and Larry Waisanen, Mick<br />

and Luka Jadlowski, and Lois McCallum and Peter Arfman.<br />

Bet you didn’t know that <strong>for</strong> the past six years eight<br />

couples have been acting as ambassadors to folks<br />

from all over the country and other parts of the world.<br />

Why?<br />

Think back. We all moved to SCS from someplace, and<br />

making that big decision was not easy and would directly<br />

affect the rest of our lives. Various factors influenced us,<br />

but we had some common things to consider: Will we like<br />

it? Will we fit in? Will it be hard to make friends?<br />

In 2010, a golf marketing ad hoc committee came up<br />

with the idea that, as a golf community, we needed to be<br />

more competitive with the newer, developer-marketed<br />

retirement projects. Otherwise, we would face a<br />

substantial reduction in the proportion of SCS residents<br />

that support our golf programs. Reasons: Many of our<br />

existing, older residents were playing less or moving<br />

away and potential new golfing residents were<br />

relocating elsewhere without even knowing about SCS.<br />

As a matter of interest, in the early 90s we had<br />

approximately 2,500 golfing residents, whereas<br />

currently that number is closer to 1,000. While outside<br />

play has taken up some of the slack from a financial<br />

standpoint, the community still needs to increase the<br />

percentage of people that live and play golf here in order<br />

to properly support our golf facilities in the future.<br />

So, the Golf Ambassador Committee stepped in. The<br />

idea was to provide a resource to those looking <strong>for</strong> a<br />

retirement community with lots of amenities, particularly<br />

golf. A link was set up on the SCSCAI website where<br />

potential homeowners could request in<strong>for</strong>mation and<br />

talk with a resident to get a feel <strong>for</strong> what it’s like to live<br />

here. The Ambassador Committee eventually grew to<br />

eight couples and more will be needed to handle the<br />

growing number of boomers that we expect will be<br />

coming our way.<br />

During the past six years, ambassadors have served<br />

more than 180 people. Of those, we have 50 new<br />

residents. Many of the others could still move here, as<br />

they may be waiting on the sale of their home or<br />

remaining in their current job <strong>for</strong> a while longer. These<br />

are active people who not only enhance our golf<br />

programs, but are also taking a leadership role in the<br />

future of our community.<br />

Special thanks to SCSCAI BOD President Joe<br />

O’Connell, <strong>for</strong> his help in bringing the initial idea to<br />

fruition; Jim Neighbors, SCSCAI head golf pro-fessional,<br />

who assists ambassadors with golf and lunch<br />

arrangements; Tom Burt, who has been a big help in<br />

coordinating our Internet activity; and, of course, our<br />

ambassador couples who give a minimum of a full day to<br />

be with the invitees, as well as much preplanning and<br />

follow up.<br />

For those of us involved, we receive much joy and<br />

satisfaction by having the opportunity to help others with<br />

their very important decision. A win! Win!<br />

Following are highlights from the April 11<br />

meeting:<br />

Old Business: Sun City resident Henrietta<br />

Rapp asked about bocce court shades that were<br />

installed at Sun Shadows. Henrietta said that they<br />

do not offer enough shade <strong>for</strong> the players. After<br />

considerable discussion, it was decided that Ken<br />

Caroccia, CAP chairman, Dennis McGrew,<br />

SCSCAI building maintenance manager and<br />

Henrietta would re-assess the shades after the<br />

meeting. Next, following a recommendation by<br />

SCSCAI landscape manager Louis Darling, the<br />

committee unanimously passed a motion to remove<br />

the re pit at Desert Vista. e re pit has<br />

not been used <strong>for</strong> 18 years.<br />

New Business: Brandon Balek, SCSCAI building<br />

maintenance supervisor, reported that LED<br />

lights will be installed at all three buildings at<br />

Mountain Shadows. e original estimate a year<br />

ago was <strong>for</strong> approximately $50,000. Since then,<br />

prices have dropped and Sun City is now looking<br />

at an estimate closer to $30,000.<br />

w e pools are all in compliance with the new<br />

Clark County Health District requirements.<br />

w e insurance inspector will be joining the<br />

building inspectors.<br />

w e curb drop-off area in front of the Highland<br />

Falls entrance is being evaluated <strong>for</strong> expansion<br />

as the area is often blocked by delivery trucks, etc.<br />

After considerable discussion, Paul Henderson,<br />

SCSCAI’s executive director, Dennis and Brandon<br />

will look into the idea. A call will be<br />

placed to the re marshall as there is a<br />

re hydrant in the area.<br />

Staff Update:<br />

w Louis is rocking the greenbelt at Sun<br />

City and Lake Mead boulevards, which<br />

also includes nishing the corner area.<br />

w e contractor <strong>for</strong> the Mountain<br />

Shadows pool shade cover is still trying<br />

to get the permit. e city has asked <strong>for</strong><br />

an additional survey.<br />

w Work is progressing on the Mountain<br />

Shadows enclosure. e contractor<br />

has framed the area and the new AC<br />

unit is expected soon.<br />

w SCSCAI Fitness Manager Kristie<br />

McWhorter reported that the shades at<br />

Desert Vista and the Pinnacle tness centers are<br />

being replaced. Pool furniture was replaced at<br />

the Pinnacle. More umbrellas have been ordered<br />

<strong>for</strong> Desert Vista. Sun Shadows will receive more<br />

lounges on the patio <strong>for</strong> residents to use.<br />

Team Leader Reports:<br />

Allan Bell inspected with Louis and reported<br />

that there are many trees in the community that<br />

have broken branches and need to be looked at.<br />

BOD member Karl Wiedemann reported<br />

that the front entrance of Mountain Shadows<br />

needs more lighting. Paul Henderson talked<br />

with the city, and reported that the lights closest<br />

to the entrance have been turned up so the<br />

lighting should be better.<br />

It was brought to the committee’s attention<br />

that the framed photos in the card rooms at<br />

Mountain Shadows are very small. Decorating<br />

sub-com-mittee member Rhoda Ring will look<br />

into updating the photos after the lighting is<br />

changed.<br />

e meeting was adjouned at 10:42 a.m.

CHARTERED CLUBS<br />

CLUB SPOTLIGHT<br />

KRAFTY KRITTERS<br />

Club Crafts a Valuable Service<br />

In 1992, Kathy Walls began the Krafty Kritters Club in a small<br />

room at Mountain Shadows. In 1994, Kathy helped<br />

design the club’s current facility at the then new Desert<br />

Vista Community Center. The members worked on all<br />

different sorts of crafts, which were sold at the store<br />

located inside Desert Vista (currently occupied by the<br />

Fitness Department). Along with Eleanor Wenzel, one of<br />

the founders of the Club, Sally Edwards, Sue Lawrence<br />

and Dee Moshy are longtime members who supply residents<br />

with invaluable experience.<br />

Krafty Kritters’ studio is open <strong>for</strong> members to work on<br />

their projects on Mondays, from 9 a.m. to noon and<br />

Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m. The Club began with about 50<br />

members and has pretty much stayed consistent at that<br />

number.<br />

One of Krafty Kritters’ categories of creativity includes<br />

the tole painters, members who paint on canvas, wood and<br />

various other objets d’art. Tole painters meet in the studio<br />

on Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.<br />

Along with crafts, the Club does crocheting, knitting,<br />

scrapbooking and painting. The members sell some items<br />

in the window of their room, as well as at the annual arts &<br />

crafts show at Desert Vista. They make the very popular<br />

water bottle holders out of plastic grocery bags that the<br />

Red Rock Canyon Gift Store sells <strong>for</strong> the club.<br />

Jeanene O’Shay is one of the club’s members who<br />

collects many of the items that are donated to benefit<br />

homeless teens, newborn babies and nursing home<br />

clients.<br />

Krafty Kritters’ general meeting takes place on the first<br />

Saturday of the month, 9 a.m., at Desert Vista. Members<br />

learn what’s going on and everyone is invited to check out<br />

what’s going on. According to Club President Marilyn<br />

Pittman, many ladies join because they are new to Sun City<br />

and want to meet people and share ideas. Marilyn says the<br />

club takes donations of materials, and if they can’t use<br />

something they find another club that can.<br />

CLUB SPOTLIGHT<br />

ZOOM ZOOM CLUB<br />

Exercise in Disguise<br />

The newest club at Sun City Summerlin, the<br />

Zoom Zoom Club, was <strong>for</strong>med to offer residents<br />

a well-rounded Zumba® experience. Unlike<br />

single-focus classes/workouts, Zumba® class participants<br />

get a combination of aerobics, interval training<br />

and resistance training. The workouts provide three<br />

results – 1. High calorie output, you can burn up to<br />

1,000 calories during class and continue to burn<br />

calories <strong>for</strong> up to four hours after class even while<br />

resting; 2. Cardiovascular benefits; 3. Total body<br />

toning, you look and feel better. Zumba® classes<br />

are exercise in disguise. It’s so much fun you don’t<br />

even know you’re exercising,so you want to do it<br />

again and again!<br />

Near the end of 2016, residents who participated<br />

regularly in a water class had a substitute instructor<br />

who taught an Aqua Zumba® class. They asked Teresa<br />

Gusel, a class member and Zumba® class participant,<br />

if they could have a regular Aqua Zumba®<br />

class. When Teresa asked Zumba® instructor Ruth<br />

Cuti if she could teach such a class, they both<br />

realized that it would be most economical <strong>for</strong><br />

residents if all Zumba® classes could be offered in<br />

a Zumba® club. Ruth, who already was licensed and<br />

teaching Zumba® and Zumba® Gold, traveled to<br />

Phoenix to become licensed in Aqua Zumba® and<br />

Zumba Toning®. Because of copyright laws, the<br />

Zumba® LLC organization would not allow Sun<br />

City’s new group to be called Zumba® Club, and so<br />

organizers decided to name the new exercise group<br />

the Zoom Zoom Club.<br />

There are five different classes offered, and if<br />

you join now the fees will cover the rest of this<br />

calendar year.<br />

w Zumba® – Tues. & Thurs., 9:05 a.m., $58.41<br />

w Zumba® Gold – Tues. & Thurs., 11:05 a.m., $58.41<br />

w Aqua® Zumba – Weds. & Fri., 11 a.m., $58.41<br />

w Zumba® Toning – Saturday, 11:05 a.m., $28.7<br />

w Zumba® Gold Chair – Saturday, noon, $28.71<br />

The base price is 99 cents per class, payable <strong>for</strong><br />

six months from July 1 to December 31. Other payment<br />

options are available. First two classes are<br />

free. Club dues are $5 a year. Zumba® classes are<br />

faster and more intense than Gold. All classes take<br />

place at Sun Shadows. Call Ruth, 546-5465, or<br />

Teresa, 838-5301 be<strong>for</strong>e attending.<br />
