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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
71-74 2,531 2,218<br />
75-80 2,455 2,297<br />
81-85 1,874 1,938<br />
85-90 853 1,337<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
