FROM THE TREASURER

General Manager and his staff. When you are the treasurer, no news is very, very good news.

Larry Marden Treasurer 623-748-9276 grandmarden@ cox.net

I want to express my gratitude to the Board of Directors for showing their confidence in me by re-electing me as treasurer of the Association. Over the next year, I will do my best to meet their expectations – and yours. The first two months of 2016 were uneventful financially for Sun City Grand. Both our revenues and expenses tracked very close to the budget - a job well done by the

We face some challenges in the near term. As Sun City Grand is now 20 years old, we have reached the point where many of our assets need renovation or replacement. We are refurbishing our buildings. Our golf courses need an overhaul and we have hired an architect to advise us. We are struggling with requests for more space by many of our chartered clubs. We need to make some investments to ensure that we remain attractive to new and younger buyers. And regrettably, we have not always performed all the maintenance we should have over the years, and we need to catch up now. We are well aware of our upcoming needs and are working hard to minimize the financial impact on

the residents. Ken Olson and his staff watch our expenses carefully. The Finance Advisory Committee scrutinizes our major expenditures. The Lifestyles Advisory Committee weighs in on the benefits of proposed ideas to the community. And it is the Board’s fiduciary responsibility, which we take with the utmost seriousness, to make sure that our money is spent wisely and exclusively for the benefit of the homeowners. We are also looking at revenue opportunities (other than assessments – relax!), for example, increasing the CARE fee paid at closing by new buyers into the community. As our winter visitors leave, I wish all of you a safe trip home and a great summer, although I look forward to ample parking, reduced traffic, and an easier time getting a table at a restaurant. All the best, Larry

FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

A Few Notes About Our

Sun City Grand Liquor License Kenneth Olson, CMCA, AMS General Manager

We have received many questions from residents and clubs concerning our liquor license and how it is applied in the context of our events, activities, and life in Sun City Grand. Obviously, our intent in CAM is to provide alcoholic beverages at our events for resident’s enjoyment but also to ensure we are following the statutory requirements of our liquor license. I have consulted with our attorney whose practice is in the area of the Arizona liquor and gambling statutes concerning our Association’s Series 6 Liquor License. I have summarized his comments, which serves as a basis for this article and addresses important elements relating to our liquor license. The Sun City Grand Community Association (Series 6 Bar Liquor License) is a unique liquor licensed venue because the area that is licensed (‘licensed premise”) for the sale, service, and consumption of beer, wine, and spirituous liquor (“alcohol”) consists of 4,000 acres comprised of four golf courses, various community centers, buildings and common areas. Excluded from the “licensed premise” are the private residential areas and Angela’s and Coco’s restaurants, which have their own liquor license. All other areas within the 4,000 acre boundaries are considered Sun City Grand’s liquor “licensed premise” which are controlled by all state and federal liquor laws applicable to liquor licenses.

Since Sun City Grand’s entire property (minus the excluded areas) is licensed and therefore the common areas, from a liquor license standpoint, are as much the “licensed premise” as the clubhouse, golf course, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, baseball fields and other non-residential non-restaurant areas of the Association’s property. Our community has made a large investment in the purchase and operation of our liquor license and we all have a responsibility to adhere to the requirements of the license.

to allow that person to come on to or remain on or about the “licensed premise” for a period of time in excess of 30 minutes. 4. An employee that is engaged in waiting on or serving alcohol to customers may not consume alcohol. 5. Alcohol may only be sold or delivered between the hours of 6:00 a.m. – 2:00 a.m. and may not be consumed or possessed on a “licensed premise” between 2:30 a.m. - 6:00 a.m. If appropriate, the Association may wish to implement a “last call” time, which is before the statutory cut-off time. The Board of Directors will be addressing a “last call” policy at their May meeting. 6. Violations of Arizona liquor laws are misdemeanors (A.R.S. 4-246) and more significantly can result in the suspension, revocation or refusal to renew the Association’s liquor license and/or a fine of $200 - $3,000 per violation.

Because of the size of its “licensed premise,” the Association’s property presents issues that typically do not exist at similar associations: 1. Because all common areas are considered part of the “licensed premise”, it is a liquor license violation to allow anyone to bring beer, wine or spirits into those areas. 2. The Association may not allow beer, wine or spirits to be removed from the “licensed premises” except in the original unbroken package. 3. It is a violation of the liquor law to sell, furnish, or serve alcohol to a disorderly or obviously intoxicated person, or

7. All employees of the Association involved in the sale, service, and handling of alcohol must complete training sanctioned by the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control in the sale, service and handling of alcohol. As stated earlier, Sun City Grand is a unique community. Our community has made a large investment in the purchase and operation of our liquor license and we all have a responsibility to adhere to the requirements of the license. The liquor license enhances our Sun City Grand lifestyle and we appreciate your support in keeping this investment in our community a successful one.

Taking place June 3rd through June 5th, visitors are welcome to stroll throughout the enchanting buildings, courtyards, cobblestone walkways and bubbling fountains of Tlaquepaque to observe the painters participating in the event. With a plethora of flowers in bloom, 10 invited artists will be artistically inspired to paint throughout the day using the Legacy method of painting which requires that they paint without the use of any cameras or imaging technologies to record the light. This year’s artists are Laurisa Aukon, Shonto Begay, Betty Carr, Robert Dalegowski, Carl Dalio, Vince Fazio, Lynn Heil, Mark Hemleben, Gretchen Lopez, and Susan Pitcairn. Plein air is a method of painting refined in France in the mid-19th century that is characterized by the luminous effects of natural light and atmosphere often referred to as painting “in the open air”. PALET is a new concept for an outdoor painting competition based upon a model of Legacy. For this event, Legacy is defined as “ﬁrst example” applied exclusively to the two essential aspects of plein-air painting ~ the artist and subject

PALET is the dream of Sedona’s Williamson Tapia, a self-described “directobservation painter” who creates all of his work without the use of a camera. According to Tapia, “someone once said that ‘creating a machine to do a man’s job, carries with it, the expense of taking something away from the man’. For the

same reason we still climb mountains on foot, perform music live or prepare our own meals, there should at some point be a recognition of what artists can achieve through natural means in outdoor ﬁgurative and landscape art. This is what PALET represents”. While not in the competition, Tapia will have work available for sale in the Main Exhibition Tent and will also serve as the Docent for Palet. He will give tours starting at 1 PM

Tlaquepaque will officially open PALET with a First Friday reception on June 3rd from 5:30 pm-7:30 pm at the Main Exhibition Tent located along Calle Independencia, a main thoroughfare in Tlaquepaque. Sedona Mayor Sandy Moriarty will officially open PALET at this reception providing visitors with an opportunity to view and purchase original artworks by the participating artists. These artworks will showcase the Legacy method and will have been painted before PALET begins. These works are available for sale and will be juried by esteemed landscape artist, Curt Walters for the Best of Seasonal Legacy Award. Walters has been heralded as the “greatest living Grand Canyon artist” by Art of the West magazine and is best known for his landscape art that stunningly captures the magnificent vistas of the west. Located in the courtyards of Tlaquepaque, PALET will include 3 live staged models

for the artists to do portraiture work as well as the landscape work that will be done within the grounds as an integral part of the event. Visitors will be allowed to observe the painters creating artwork in live-time as they paint in the open air at Tlaquepaque capturing on canvas the essence of this charming arts village from 10am to5 pm daily. They can also choose their favorite painting by participating in the People’s Choice awards – ballots will be available at the Welcome Tent. On June 5th, PALET will host a Closing Reception open to the public taking place at the Main Exhibition Tent from 5:30pm-7:30pm.

All works created throughout the event will be on display for jurying as well as for sale. Professor Gray Sweeney PhD, School of Art from ASU will jury the Best of Weekend Legacy Award. Throughout PALET, visitors will vote for the People’s Choice Award which will also be announced. This reception offers art lovers their last opportunity to purchase the artwork created during the PALET event. PALET is a new event and collaboration with the Sedona Arts Center that will showcase its own well-known annual Sedona Plein Air Festival October 15th - 22nd, 2016 with 30 of the finest painters in the country.

ARCOSANTI INTERVIEW ARCOSANTI. Southern exposure. The Arcosanti site is located about 60 miles north of Phoenix, taking Interstate-17 to Exit 262 at Cordes Junction. Since 1970 thousands of students and professionals have come to Arcosanti to participate in seminars, conferences and workshops conducted by Paolo Soleri and his staff.

Jeff Stein AIA

Jeff Stein AIA is an architect who has been involved with Arcosanti for nearly 40 years. Stein recently moved from Boston, Massachusetts, where he was dean of the Boston Architectural College to Arizona where he is now Co-President of Cosanti Foundation, the late Paolo Soleri’s (1919-2013) urban research institute in Arizona, responsible for the ongoing design and construction of the urban laboratory, Arcosanti. Arcosanti sits in the high desert of central Arizona, an hour north of Phoenix near the Arcosanti/Cordes Junction interchange on I-17. It is perhaps the world’s most beautiful construction site, an “urban laboratory” in the making. A series of prototype buildings, inhabited now by some 80 year-round residents - more when companies of performing artists are onsite - it is meant to become a place, a town for around 3,000 people – that can experiment with the late architect Paolo Soleri’s ideas for Arcology: architecture and ecology as part of a single whole system. Arcology confronts a 20th century idea that, in America especially, has separated how we live into a Public City

of commercial and institutional activities and a Domestic City of sprawling residential suburbs. As a result, most of us currently live in 2 cities – Public and Domestic – built using twice as much material as necessary, using 5 times as much energy as we ought to, and connected only very tenuously by means of roads and cars to each other and to what remains of the natural world as the price of energy continues to rise. To say that such a pattern of inhabitation – rather the norm in the West – is not sustainable, is an understatement. “There is no there, there,” is how the early 20th century writer Gertrude Stein described the duality of our situation. But in designing Arcosanti, the intent is to

The Foundry Apse with West Housing and the Vaults viewed from south. Photo Credit: Yuki Yanagimoto

integrate these two aspects of city life into a single, 3-dimensional container, based on what we know about how the earth actually functions and what its myriad forms of life need to flourish. This is what the experiment at Arcosanti is about, with ever more elaborate construction aimed at developing more complex, 3-D integration of work and play, commerce and leisure, living and learning.

So, then, is Arcosanti meant to become a “smart city?” Arcosanti does share certain attributes of the recent “smart cities” movement. But mainstream attitudes toward smart cities favor increasing technology instead of reducing overall energy consumption. More public mass transportation, bicycle routes and pedestrian friendly cities may be moving us in the right direction, more energy efficient vehicles represent what Paolo Soleri might have called “a better kind of wrongness.” Technological improvement may provide the illusion of progress, yet the direction technology is taking society remains troubling. Improved automobile technology certainly has helped air quality in the West, especially in the short term. But the increase in automobile ownership worldwide has more than offset the technological progress the global automobile industry has made on the environmental front over the years. We have added many, many more miles of freeways, more driveways, more Grand Lifestyles | May 2016 | grandinfo.com

garages, more strip malls, more suburbs, all to accommodate the car and the infrastructure needed to support it and, as a result, support lifestyles that consume an inordinate amount of land and time.

Our work at Arcosanti rejects the idea of the automobile playing a major role in the city by promoting a more complex and compact pedestrian-friendly urban environment.

How does a normal day go for an Arcosanti resident? Work here begins early in the day. Breakfast is served in Arcosanti’s café beginning at 6:30AM; or else folks are cooking in their own kitchens (Really good coffee is served all the time in the cafe…). The work itself is much like work elsewhere in the developed world today, except there is no commute: office people, planners, are logged in, answering emails, drawing, talking to consultants; construction crews, including our workshop students, are busy these days preparing forms, finishing concrete, welding railings, installing plumbing for a major greywater system, perfecting a series of buildings and public spaces that are already in place. Tourists and visitors begin to arrive by 9AM; on tours they get up close to the craft studios and ongoing construction; just before lunch is a community-wide ‘morning meeting’, during which issues are brought up, schedules confirmed, events broadcast. More is accomplished in the afternoon; dinner is served in the café at 6PM. Community meetings happen in the evening; speakers might be passing through; a film could be shown; performing artists preparing for a weekend concert might be rehearsing in the Amphitheatre. Pretty much like urban life in cities everywhere, except there are no cars driving through town, so the sounds one hears are from birds, construction, and human voices.

The Cosanti Foundation presents its ITALIAN NIGHT concert and dinner annualy. This Arcosanti tradition celebrates the heritage of its founder, Paolo Soleri, who was born in Torino, Italy on June 21. in 1919 and died on April 9. 2013. The event features Italian cuisine served outdoors under the Arcosanti Vaults in the setting of Italian cypress and olive trees. Pasta is served from special wheelbarrows, honoring the history of construction at Arcosanti. Photo Credit: Hanne Sue Kirsch

growing plants; my front door opens onto a performing arts amphitheater. We are not hermits at Arcosanti.

What would you suggest a traveler do if they have never visited your community? Come for a visit! The experience of the architecture and the spaces it creates at Arcosanti can give visitors the impression that there really may be a wonderful future at the end of this era of cheap fossil fuels, that building little boxes and scattering them over the landscape is not the only way we can inhabit the earth. And travelers certainly should look in on the Arcosanti website at www.arcosanti.org to see what cultural events are coming up at Arcosanti.

What does one have to do in order to visit? One must merely show up. We are a very public place, 70 miles north of Phoenix, Arizona, visited by around 45,000 people each year. There are tours of the site every hour, 9AM to 4PM, seven days a week. In addition, Arcosanti is a performing arts center in Central Arizona, with a series of public performances throughout spring, summer and fall. These include jazz and bluegrass festivals, classical concerts, ballet and modern dance performances, and this September, the 3rd annual Global Stilt Congress. Arcosanti also has guestrooms for overnight stays, popular with visitors, continued on page 20

What is the major difference from living in other places? No cars, that’s the difference. We, and visitors, of course, do drive from other towns and cities to get here in the first place; but once at Arcosanti, the community is pedestrian. My own apartment is just a 2 minute walk from our café; another 30 seconds from a bronze bell foundry; just a half-a-minute from a solar greenhouse filled with Grand Lifestyles | May 2016 | grandinfo.com

especially because of the brilliant night sky at Arcosanti, where we are 3700 feet in elevation. Hearty meals, with vegetarian options, are served daily in Arcosanti’s café to visitors and residents alike.

Tell us about Arcosanti’s architecture At Arcosanti, architecture has taken the path of a series of prototype structures of ever increasing scale and complexity, each retaining a sense of “frugality”, one of Paolo Soleri’s primary architectural and cultural initiatives. Vaulted Arches: At the center of the development, the first structures built at Arcosanti in the early 1970s were soaring, curved arches, marking protected public space that focuses views, provides a promenade, and connects future construction east and west with the very least amount of architecture necessary to do so. Ceramics Studio: The apse form comes, of course, from the Christian (catholic) church, where quarterspherical structures have historically created side chapels opening onto the immense sacred space of a cathedral itself. At Arcosanti these apses open to the entire world – implying the sacredness of the whole process of creative evolution. In this building, a ceramics studio/work place is connected to sun, seasons and the rest of the community by means of this opening. Bronze Bell Foundry: Next to be constructed at Arcosanti was another apse, sheltering a bell foundry. The same open form connects a workplace to the world, with the added complexity of

A performance in 2010 during the annual Italian Night, in the COLLY SOLERI AMPHITHEATER. The amphitheater is surrounded by the EAST CRESCENT COMPLEX. The East Crescent consists of ten living and working units, currently under construction. When completed, the East Crescent will provide housing for approximately 60 Residents. Its multi-level units will be used also for studios, offices, overnight guest rooms, a gallery, and possibly a movie theater. All 10 entrances face a central courtyard/market and amphitheater, while the back side is lined with patios and courtyards. The complex will be heated by warm air collecting within and rising from a greenhouse section. The air will be channeled to the crescent units through a large concrete duct running along the outer edge of the building. The mass of the structure functions as a heat sink.

a series of residential apartments in the thickened north wall of the apse. Here domestic is connected to workplace and both are connected to the natural world through form and materials. East Crescent: Next at Arcosanti has been the construction of an entire neighborhood of residences and institutional spaces (archives, offices, classrooms, a library, student dormitory) that take the classical line of the curved apse and connect it to CERAMICS APSE. The outside shell of the ceramics apse was shaped over a form carved of fine silt. The apse faces south, allowing for shading in the summer from the sun straight overhead. In the winter month the sun is at a low angle, warming the interior of the apse. Photo Credit: Tomiaki Tamura

a performing arts theatre. Thus people are in touch with extra-ordinary moments, with life’s possibilities, because the architecture in which they live connects them all by means of its form and scale. At Arcosanti’s East Crescent, instead of watching television in the isolation of a single-family house whose architecture has disconnected its inhabitants from their natural and cultural ecology, people are connected to all this, plus to their own potential – and to that of artists around the world who regularly perform in this space on everyone’s doorstep.

So, what’s in store for the future at Arcosanti? We can say this with confidence: there is a hunger among the new generation to make something useful and lasting, to undertake work that is of real value to the culture. Young people today can see that nearly our entire building stock and the pattern in which it is laid out on the land, is obsolete. In the face of rising populations and our changing attitudes about - and the price of - fossil fuels and energy use in general, it is clear that how we inhabit the earth needs to change, and quickly. Where are ideas coming from that can help this transition? In architecture and urban planning, one of those sources – even in its infancy -is Arcosanti. Grand Lifestyles | May 2016 | grandinfo.com

FROM THE GLASS ARTS CLUB

Club Tour & Dinner This Spring Grand Glass Arts Club held its annual members-only Home Tour and Dinner. Four club members, all accomplished glass artists, open their homes including Sue and Dick Beckman, Anne Martin, Patrick O’Flaherty, and Dave Prien. In each home the glass work reflected the interests and personal style of each artist. Both antique cars and Mickey Mouse were uniquely captured in stained glass panels; fused glass built into a carousel and Ferris wheel; glass jewelry; hand-painted pictures imbedded in fused glass and mosaic landscapes. After the tour, about 100 members gathered at the pavilion for a silent auction and barbecue.

These photos depict some of the glass art viewed during the tour. Each piece of glass art shown depicts a different glass technique employed by these glass artists. Working in collaboration, Sue hand-painted the dessert scene onto each piece of glass, then fused the glass pieces after which Dick then assembled them to create a stained glass panel. Anne created a wall hanging in mosaic depicting a southwestern pueblo scene. The stained glass window featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse was built by Pat. Dave used a stain glass technique to build and assemble this colorful, authentic-looking carousel.

Pam & Jerry Wojtas

Barbara Foster Executive Director, The Colonnade 623-236-3700

The image of retirees engaging in endless leisure does not square with the image of Pam and Jerry Wojtas, retirees who

The military holds special meaning for Jerry who enlisted in the Army Reserves in college and served two years of active duty and 32 years in the reserves until 1986. The Wojtas, married 39 years, are examples of the positive difference two individuals can make in the lives of people from all walks of life; be they students, veterans, older adults, wealthy or indigent; educated or not; or be they neighbors, educators or retired military members and their families. The Wojtas cross all boundaries in the community. volunteer for 17 different organizations. Since retiring in 1998, this energetic couple has thrown themselves into helping others in need. Causes they support include helping homeless veterans, raising money for ROTC high school scholarships, instilling patriotism and love of country in high school seniors, volunteering at events at Surprise Stadium, serving older adults at Sun City Grand’s Welcome Center, being flag bearers on Veterans Day and Memorial Day, retiring worn American flags, and serving on the employee-appreciation

A Softball Golf Tournament On March 25, 2016 “Play Ball” was replaced by “Fore” as the SCG Softball Club had their annual scramble golf outing at the Granite Falls South course. Each spring the Softball Club selects a charitable organization to support while enjoying the fellowship they share with one another. This year the Club raised over $1,200 in donations for the “Honor House,” a veteran’s transitional home that assists veterans as they re-enter and become valued members of our community.

and Andy Campbell. The men’s second place team (net 51) consisted of Jack Muller, Jerry Koester, Bill Fitzgerald and Doug Moore. Greg Kastelic was the Men’s Long Drive Winner, Rod Whittle was the winner on getting closest to the pin on the 8th hole and Garry Weslosky won the putting contest in a playoff with three others.

Pam and Jerry’s far-reaching volunteerism was recently recognized by LeadingAge, an association of 6,000 nonprofit organizations dedicated to making America a better place to grow old. The association presented them with a framed citation and featured them in the association’s e-magazine. Among the inspirational quotes applied to volunteers is, “They do not have more time – they just have more heart.” Pam and Jerry are two of the biggesthearted people I know and they make The Colonnade, and the larger world a better place. A few variations were introduced on the course to challenge the players. For instance, on the 15th hole after selecting the best drive, one player could throw the golf ball on the green (if they could get it that far) without counting as a stroke. Ten feet of string was also given to each team to use for short putts that again did not count as a stroke. Players are already preparing for next year’s fun Softball Golf Tournament, all this to prove that softball is not just for the young, but also for the “young at heart.”

Fun was had by all 72 players. All leagues (Blue, White, Red, Saturday and Women) were represented. The women’s winning team (net 57) consisted of Judy Muller, Mary Ann Newby, Becky Holliday, and Vicki Hanson. Becky Holliday was also the Women’s Long Drive Winner. The men’s winning team (net 50) consisted of Bob Curran, Paul Ramos, Sam Newby Grand Lifestyles | May 2016 | grandinfo.com

Grand Hikers are Everywhere Submitted by John Nuerenberg

and tired feet!

Tucson Hiking Trip

Day three was a hike up Sabino Canyon to Seven Falls. This was the longer hike for the day and well worth it. After hiking along Sabino Creek much of the way with mostly dry creek crossings, one could almost become mesmerized by the sound of a flowing creek with small rapids and falls. This hike ended at Seven Falls where one could look out on the canyon and count, and hear, seven individual falls coming down the rocks. Before turning back, many chose to eat a lunch and just admire the natural setting of falls, water, mountains,

The Sun City Grand Hikers completed a four-day trip to Tucson in March. The trip coordinators promised everyone canyon views and water. There were plenty of both for the 37 hikers that ventured out on this trip. Even though the temperatures were pushing the 90 degree mark in Tucson, by starting early we got a jump on the heat before it got to be too much for us. Every day we had two hikes, one a longer more difficult hike, and another shorter easier hike. Both hikes began and ended at the same trailhead. The first hikes were in Ventana Canyon with the longer hikers going to the Maiden Pools, the shorter hikers traveling part way there. Both groups

had stunning canyon views and several dry creek crossings. After the drive from SCG to Tucson, these were planned as easier hikes to get accustomed to the elevation change and give us time to check into the hotel, have dinner, and retire early. The next day, eleven hikers accepted the challenge to climb up Finger Rock Canyon to Mt. Kimball. This proved to be the most difficult hike our club has done and was a 10-hour endeavor. Another group did an exhilarating hike on the Romero Trail to the Romero Pools from the Santa Catalina State Park. A third group did a shorter hike to the refreshing and beautiful Montrose Pools from the same trailhead. The water in both hikes was cool and refreshing, a nice place to soothe the hot canyons and all the Sonoran plant life including Saguaros. For those hiking a shorter distance, it included a couple near-dry creek crossings and a snack break in a shaded part of the canyon before turning back. The trailhead was at a national forest where those that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hike, or even those that did, took a trolley ride up the canyon several miles to view all the spenders of the environment. On our third night, we all met at Michelangeloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Italian Restaurant for

Grand Lifestyles | May 2016 | grandinfo.com

a wonderful meal and great comradery. Stories were told and experiences shared. It was nice to get everyone together one last time on this trip. And wine was half off by the bottle!!! After checking out of our hotel on the last day, we all travelled a short distance to Pima Canyon, where the longer hikers tackled the trail to the dam. This hike turned around at the dam but not before viewing the pools by the dam and seeing the mortar holes in the rocks made by ancient Indian peoples for grinding. The shorter hikers hiked into the canyon and stopped at a large Cottonwood stand along the creek. After a snack and a long drink of water, this group returned to the trailhead. A bunch of very satisfied yet weary hikers headed back home, knowing that there are so many more hikes in the Tucson area to explore. Another time. . . Another year.

Summer Hiking in Arizona What? You mean you really hike in the summer? Isn’t it too hot?

Grand Lifestyles | May 2016 | grandinfo.com

‘hike’ on the sidewalks and trails of Sun City Grand. The highlight of summer hikes is not just hiking but gathering at a restaurant for breakfast after the hike. This is usually held at a place somewhat near the trailhead so we don’t have to drive too far on an empty stomach and without that wake-up cup of coffee or tea. For those in the club, living in Arizona fulltime, a summer hike is just the thing to start your day. We usually begin pretty early, around 5:30 or 6:00 a.m. By the time we drive to the trailhead and get hiking, we are well on our way up the trail before it gets too hot. Our summer hikes are usually no more than five miles long, don’t require a lot of climbing, and are more in the Valley mountains so as to not end up driving long distances. This is a way to complete a hike and feel refreshed. Some of the areas we hike are in the White Tanks, Cave Creek, Phoenix Sonoran Preserve, McDowell Sonoran Preserve, Scottsdale, Lake Pleasant, and New River areas. We even do a five mile

Another special summer event is our annual hike and swim breakfast. First we hike in the White Tanks followed by a swim and a breakfast hosted by Barb and Bob Sanders, long-time club members, at their home. We invite anyone to join our club. We have a hike for everyone: EZ hikes, moderate, difficult, and strenuous. Anybody wishing to join us should check out our website – www.scghikers. org – and view the hike list under the Hikes button. Remember, if you are a resident of Grand, you may join us on three hikes before we would ask you to join the club. And what better way to enjoy the desert and talk with hikers over breakfast than with a summer hike!

FROM THE FITNESS MANAGER

We Enjoyed a Busy Winter Season

We are winding down another busy winter season here at the Sun City Grand Fitness Centers. We certainly hope that you and your guests had an opportunity to enjoy the fitness facilities and pools this season. It’s our busiest time of year and I want to commend our staff for the work they do to help you enjoy your visit with us.

Allison Adams Fitness Manager 623-546-7463 Allison.Adams@ scgcam.com

The stats We saw over 72,000 visitors between Cimarron and Adobe during the month of March. That’s almost double what we saw during July of 2015, which totaled just over 37,000 for the month. Adobe logged over 42,000 visitors and Cimarron 30,000. More than 10,000 of our visitors were your guests.

I’d like to take a moment to suggest that you wear water shoes when visiting the Adobe indoor pool to provide additional safety. These shoes should only be worn while in the indoor pool area.

New purchases With the help of Aquatics Supervisor, Mark Dipper, we were able to replace the aqua wheelchairs at both fitness centers. At Cimarron you’ll find it resting next to the outdoor shower near the 0-entry of the leisure pool; at Adobe it is parked in the shower stall of the disabled bathroom. New wall-mounted hairdryers have been installed in the Adobe dressing rooms. There are plans to install

more at Cimarron. These dryers isolate the electrical components to reduce exposure to risk.

Participating in a Triathlon On Saturday March 26th Sun City Grand was well represented at the annual Sprint Triathlon at Vistancia. Deborah Digiuseppe, Jim Courtney, and Beth Chisholm (from left to right), all residents of Sun City Grand, participated. The Vistancia Triathlon consisted of a 300 yd. swim followed by a 16.5 mile bike then a 5K run. In all Triathlons you compete with others in your age group (IE: 60-64, 65-69, 26

70+ etc.). All of us agree that training for the 3 disciplines in Triathlon gives us great all round fitness. The race itself and improvements we see in our times is the motivation that keeps us going. The fun and comradery among Triathletes of all ages may be the best benefit of all. Anyone interested in Triathlon or finding out more about them please call Jim Courtney at (262) 993-6584. Grand Lifestyles | May 2016 | grandinfo.com

With a diverse group of classes from which to choose, you can have an easy and enjoyable summer at Grand Learning while staying cool and meeting new friends at the same time. Please note that all summer classes will be taking place in the Sonoran Plaza, rather than in our regular classrooms located in the Chaparral Center. Please go directly to the Sonoran Plaza prior to your class and check the signs at the doors to find your appropriate classroom. Thanks for your help on this. During the summer months, we will have abbreviated office hours at Grand Learning. Please note that beginning on May 2 we will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. We encourage you to please call ahead if you are planning to stop by to ensure that staff is in the office to assist you.

Summer Hours

Welcome back

Welcoming back two of our Grand Learning instructors this summer, we introduce you to Linda Burridge and Kadam Michelle Gauthier. Linda, who brings us What’s Your Next Act? is a Certified Professional Coach, muse, and a catalyst for personal change. She spent 35 years as a facilitator, consultant, and global leader in corporate leadership development. She started her own company, Next Act Solutions, as a way for using her experience to pass along lessons learned from helping others to grow professionally. Her commitment is to build the connections that can help us all navigate transition through personal and community support regardless of where we are in life’s journey. This summer, Linda’s class is on June 14. Kadam Michelle Gauthier is the resident teacher of Clear Light Buddhist Center in Phoenix. She has been practicing Buddhism and meditation for over 17 years. She taught at Kadampa Buddhist Centers in Atlanta and South Carolina before coming to Arizona in 2009 to become the Resident Teacher at Clear Light. She travels throughout the state to bring the beneficial practices of meditation to Flagstaff, Prescott, Mesa, Surprise, and many other cities. Kadam Michelle’s classes will take place on September 12, 19, and 26 at Grand Learning.

Beginning on May 31 and running through July 14, the office will be open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 am. - 2 p.m. We’ll close down for our summer break beginning on July 18 and reopen on August 15. Our summer hours are also posted at the Grand Learning office.

Fall Catalog

Yes, the fall catalog is already under construction! If you have an idea for a class – or know someone who does – please send them our way! We are always looking for new subjects, new instructors, and new interests. We are looking forward to a full schedule of interesting and educational offerings this fall. Look for the catalog right after Labor Day.

It’s Funny Honey

Think a playwright couldn’t wed Shakespeare with Disney? “Ruby of Elsinmore” does, complete with Prince Hamlet, imaginary frogs, haughty mother, suspicious stepfather, hairdresser with an attitude, naïve girlfriend, and an angry ghost. “Open & Shut Marriage” and a strange arrangement it is! “Date Night” for this couple takes us on an unusual adventure, one few of us would attempt. Whattaya know?! “Surprise” certainly is one. We find another couple pouring over the menu in a cheap diner. But their most interesting conversation presents a different riddle to solve. Golly Gee, our third couple for the evening presents another mystery in “Wham!Bam!” Are they living in fantasyland or have they really resurrected clones of the comic book characters of our childhoods, Captain Marvel, Superman and their colleagues? But wait, they have embarked on a quite different career. $8/person | 6:30 p.m. Cash Bar | 7 p.m. Performance Cimarron Center

ASK CAPPIE THE COMPUTER CAT Dear Cappie, We are worried about such things as identity theft as well as our privacy both online and in general. Could you could give us some advice as to how we can stay more secure. Thanks, Lynne and Miss Fluff (my dear cat) Dear Lynne and Miss Fluff, Cappie would strongly suggest that to keep Miss Fluff safe and secure she stays an indoor cat. Regardless or her meowing, whines, yowls, or desperation theatrics--never entertain the option of allowing her outdoors to roam. While coyotes, snakes and hawks present major threats to smaller dogs and cats, there is also the danger of your animal becoming lost, stolen, or hurt when unattended or unleashed. Even if you have a screened in outdoor patio, always make sure a human is nearby. As for the issue of identity theft and online privacy for humans, Cappie also has several suggestions for your devices as well as online browsing. Enable your wireless security to require anyone attempting to access your network to enter a password. Check your manual or enter your model online for instructions on how to create or change a default password on your modem or router. Set the option that will require a password to access your home network so only you can access and change its settings. On your PC or Mac, choose the security option which requires a password when you turn it on or when it wakes from sleeping mode. This is especially important if you travel with your laptop. Make sure that your Firewall is turned on and that you turn on “automatic upload” of the latest version of your security software. In addition, use a program like Malwarebytes to periodically scan your computer in the event your security software missed a possible new bug. If you do not want anyone to know where you have been web surfing, you could also enable “private browsing”-- an 44

option found in the browser’s Settings. It is available in most popular web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.). Using this option will delete cookies, temporary Internet files and browsing history when you log out of the browser. You can also surf the Internet anonymously by hiding your IP address if you use a web proxy, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Tor, a free open network that works by routing your traffic through a series of servers, operated by volunteers worldwide, instead of going directly to your destination. Your smartphone and tablet should also be set to require a passcode to access it every time you use it. Download an app like “Find My IPhone” or “Android Device Manager” which will locate your phone or tablet if it’s lost or stolen. It can also, if necessary, lock it or wipe it clean of any data so a thief cannot get access to the data. For information about how to use many of the options discussed in this article, contact the Grand Computers Club, or stop by. The Club is located in the Chaparral Center. If you are a member you can talk to a tech volunteer every Tuesday at 1:00 PM and bring your device with you. Check out the club website (for up to date listings of computer classes, help with your computer, smartphone, or tablet, as well as dates and times of our 10 Special Interest Groups): www.grandcomputers.org . View the digital version of Ask Cappie the Computer Cat Column by logging on to www.grandinfo.com .

Never use the same password for more than one website or application because if someone hacks your device and discovers the password, they can access all your accounts. Identity theft could become a very real issue. One option for creating unique, safe passwords is to use a Password Manager App that will store and or generate passwords for you. If you use Social Media Apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, or Google+, check your settings to make sure only friends can see what you’re doing and do not add your location to your posts, tweets, photos, or pins. Never give real information like “mother’s maiden name” or your actual birthdate, or city of birth when setting up password security questions for authentication purposes. People can find much of this type of information online from public records sites and use it to change your password and gain entry into your email, app, or website program. Even though it can be an inconvenience and time consuming, you can lock down your Facebook, Google, Dropbox, Apple ID, Microsoft, AOL, Twitter and other accounts with two-factor authentication. That means that when you log in, you’ll also need to enter a special code that the App, Email, or Website will send as a text to your smartphone or email it to you. Some apps require the special code each time you log in, other just when you’re using a new device or web browser. You lock the windows and doors of your house, and you remove the key from the ignition for your car. It is just as important to lock your devices, and to require “keys” (passwords) for your technology. Research any of these topics online for more complete information.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF GOLF OPERATIONS

Chang es in Ou r Autom ated tee time system (chelsea) Only 1 Guest Per Request (coming soon) Jeff Hochman Director of Golf Operations 623-546-7402 jeff.hochman@ scgcam.com

In an effort to try and accommodate more golfers and to create an equal and fair automated tee time system, the following items will be going into effect.

Front Loading (currently in place) The system will be placing your request at the “top” of the hour that is closest to your request. For example: if you requested 8:22 and you are the first request to be selected, you would be placed at 8:00. If you request 8:45, you would be placed at 9:00. This will help create less “checker boarding” of the tee sheet to maybe assist with linked tee time requests that have been drawn early in the lottery to obtain a tee time.

There are some perceptions/reality that residents might be “gaming” the automated tee time system to obtain a better tee time. Going forward, each request will only be allowed to have one guest. You will no longer be able to fill your tee time slots with the drop down resident/guest selection. You must use a valid Chelsea number. The drop down menu will only show guest and will no longer show resident. Linked groups are allowed to have 1 guest in each

foursome. If you put down 2 or more guests, your request will not be placed. If you have 2 or more guests, you are able to pre-book your tee time up to 14 days in advance by calling or visiting one of the golf shops. You are responsible for at least 2 guest fees the day of play even if they cancel. Example: 1 player – no guest 2 players – 1 resident Chelsea number and 1 guest can be used 3 players – 2 resident Chelsea numbers and 1 guest can be used 4 players – 3 resident Chelsea numbers and 1 guest can be used If you are not in Chelsea and would like to be able to request a tee time in advance, there is a 1-time fee of $25. This can be done in person by visiting the Granite Falls Golf Shop. Please note that any intentional abuse of the automated tee time system can have you suspended from the system. Please cancel any tee time that will go unused prior to the day of play so that other residents can use them. The staff will be purging the Chelsea system for anyone that has not used the system in the past 12 months.

I have been asked many times about keeping rabbits away from your shrubs and flowers. This article is a repeat of one that was published in 2011. One of the biggest challenges for the landscaper and homeowner alike is planting attractive shrubs and flowers and not having them devoured by rabbits overnight. In Sun City Grand we certainly have more than our fair share of bunnies. We have used many methods over the years in an effort to protect new planting from hungry rabbits and I am asked many times what works best or what do you suggest. Caging new

plantings will work (check with the Standards Department before buying cages). Rabbits seem to prefer the tender new growth fresh from the nursery. We have used Liquid Fence which is made from coyote urine and other choice fragrances, moth balls, cayenne pepper juice, and shavings from Irish Spring soap. All of these work to some degree but will not deter all rabbits. The saying goes like this; rabbits will eat almost anything when they are hungry enough and this seems to be a true statement. There are some shrubs that rabbits generally will stay away from although they may do some sample nibbling, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat the whole plant.

Plants Oleanders, Rosemary, Aloe, Agave, Arizona yellow bells, Autumn sage, Black dalea-Brittlebush, Chuparosa, Creosote, Desert spoon-Emu bush, Euphorbia, Fairy duster, Feathery cassia, Ganzia, Justica spicigera, Little leaf cordia, Mexican bird of paradise, Mexican oregano,

Penstemon, Plumbago , Prairie zinnia, Queens wreath, Salvia clevelandii, Texas mountain laurel, Verbena, and Yucca.

Flowers Snap Dragons, Allyssum, Geraniums, Vinca, and Dusty Miller are usually left alone. Bunnies are sometimes cute to watch play and are thought of favorably around Easter time but when they are in your garden or lawn they are not on my favorite animal list. Not only will they eat your plantings they will dig holes in your grass and chew the ends from your drip irrigation system.

Please Note: May is the month for the transition from winter Rye grass to the summer Bermuda. As we reduce the water and lower our cutting height, the Rye grass will die. The turf around the common areas will turn brown until the Bermuda begins to fill in.

CITY OF SUPRISE UPDATE

Supporting Our Veterans Judd Gregg, former Senator from New Hampshire, stated, “The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.”

Jim Biundo Vice Mayor Council Member, District 2

It is estimated that there are about 12,000 veterans in the City of Surprise. Various organizations launch efforts not only to recognize veterans for their service, but also to provide meaningful support.

Dr. Maria Harper-Merinick, Interim Chancellor of Maricopa Community College District, noted, “While many veterans are continuing to succeed as they return to our community, some face challenges in finding their path to success. Through the Veterans Success Project, Maricopa Community Colleges want to respond to their needs and help Arizona veterans no matter where they are with their transition to civilian life.” Plans are underway through the Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation to establish a West Valley Veterans Center, which will serve as a point of entry for West Valley veterans to guide them to the resources they need to achieve educational success. The focus of the Center will be on four main areas: education, employment, housing, and health care. Steve Yamamori, Vice President of Veteran Initiatives, said, “We are so fortunate to have the leadership from the City of Surprise supporting our efforts. Their passion for transitioning military, veterans, and their families is exceptional.” The Sun City Grand Armed Forces Support Group was established for the following purposes: n Raise awareness and funds for the nation’s military and veterans as

“The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” George Washington they deal with war injuries, medical and psychological recovery, postmilitary life, and homelessness. n Support military and veterans who struggle with transition into civilian life. n Develop partnerships that focus on programs and organizations that accelerate the healing process for wounded veterans and their families. n Assist veterans and their families in obtaining in a timely manner VA entitled benefits and assistance. n Serve as a unifying force to develop a strong networking system for veterans. Since its founding, the SCG Armed Forces Support Group has raised nearly $400,000 for veterans’ nonprofit organizations, honored over 500 veterans, and provided furniture and clothing to homeless veterans in the Phoenix area.

American Legion Post 96 in Surprise through its “American Legion Riders Program,” raises funds to send students to American Legion camp. They also help support the Honor House, which assists wounded veterans with transition into civilian life. The Marine Corps League is the only United States Marine Corps related veterans organization in the United States chartered by Congress. The Marine Corps League supports various programs, including youth programs and veterans’ affairs programs. The Marine Corps League is credited as the founder of the Toys for Tots program. The local chapter is White Tank Detachment 1246. Another recent development is the announcement of a groundbreaking for the “Soldier’s Best Friend Training Campus” located at 75th Avenue and Acoma. The project consists of a 4,640 square foot building with flexible interior space for veteran/dog team training, as well as office, reception, and kennel/grooming space. Started in 2011, the Soldier’s Best Friend program trains service dogs for veterans facing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and/or Traumatic Brain Injury challenges. The owner-trainer model focuses on training the veteran to train the service dog, thus strengthening the bond between them. To date, over 125 pairings have been established. The service dog, equipment, and veterinarian services are provided to the veteran at no cost. WHAM Art Association, in partnership with Arizona Art Alliance, is offering veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) free art instruction from professional artists in a program called “Art: A Path to Healing.” WHAM indicates that scientific investigation concludes that creative expression can alter not only moods, attitudes, and emotions, but also helps

persons acquire a sense of purpose and accomplishment. The program’s goal is to help veterans on their path to cope with everyday life. Professional artists instruct classes in drawing, painting, woodworking, gourd carving, clay sculpture, and metal art. Each veteran is given an Art Kit of art supplies to be used in the program. Connie Whitlock, WHAM President, said, “The program has been very successful, and it is so heart-warming to hear the stories from veterans about how the program has helped them.” A former program participant stated, “Two of the biggest issues for those with PTSD are a lack of means to express oneself in a healthy manner; and avoidance and isolation. Programs like WHAM provide the art aspect which allows us to freely put on canvas those feelings we feel on the inside but haven’t learned how to express them yet. It’s not what we draw or paint but rather that we are actually exploring our creativity.” It should be noted also that on Memorial Day a group of Surprise veterans again will be hosting a special “Lest We Forget” commemorative program at Radiant Church, 15222 Paradise Lane. Larry Brown, Chairperson of the event and Past Commandant, Detachment 1246, of the Marine Corps League, said, “ This year’s ceremony is a special event to remember our fallen family members and friends who have served our country with distinction and honor. We will pay tribute to two special heroes this year: Medal of Honor Recipient Nicky D. Bacon, who also served as Surprise Town Manager, and James Witkowski, a Surprise resident who was killed in action in Iraq.” Outside activities will begin at 1 p.m. Inside ceremonies will commence at 2 p.m. with songs and videos, and the program will begin at 3 p.m. Guest speaker is Navy veteran Dennis Grau. For further information, contact Larry Brown, Chairperson (623546-3335). A number of other organizations support our military and veterans. For example, the Sun City Grand Stitchers and the Woodshop provide items to our military at Luke. Also, the Honor House provides a complete transitional package using community resources to meet the needs of veterans affected by combat.

This Family That Plays Together Does Plays Together

Submitted by Jolene Nerdahl

When Earle and Sandy Greenberg bought a home in Sun City Grand in 2013, they were delighted to be in a community that had a multitude of music and theater opportunities. After all, their mutual love of performing in musical theater is what drew them together almost 28 years ago when Earle first saw Sandy as Marian the Librarian in Music Man. They both had lead roles (Billy and Erma) in the recent SCG Drama Club production of Anything Goes. They were joined in the cast by Earle’s dad, Donald, a retired pediatrician, who, at the tender age of 88, decided he was finally ready to move to a retirement community this past year. Anything Goes has finished its very successful run and now Earle and Sandy are currently in rehearsal for the upcoming SCG Showcase on May 13 & 14, which is written, hosted, and directed by Earle’s mom, Joyce, a lifelong professional entertainer, actress, teacher, and director from Chicago. This Showcase production, which Joyce created and is sponsored by the Music Club, was originally presented in Wilmette, IL and Joyce adapted it to fit the specific talents of this community. The show is An Intergenerational Salute to Movie Musicals from The Jazz Singer, 1927 to All That Jazz, 1979. Earle and Sandy are joined in this cast by 27 other local seniors and seven young ladies, ages 9-15 from all over the West Valley. Joyce and Earle are both graduates of the Northwestern University School

of Communication; Earle with a Major in TV and Film Production; Joyce in Speech Education. In the early 1980s, while Earle studied for his MBA, they founded Talentape, Inc. where they pioneered the use of video auditions for the talent agency industry. After receiving his degree, Earle continued with his video production business, Chicago Videoworks, and Joyce joined the staff of Oakton Community College, where for ten years she conducted drama workshops for seniors and was Artistic Director of the Acting Up! Troupes, which were travelling troupes of seniors performing original material created in the workshops. Sandy’s love of musical theater began early, as well. She graduated from Loyola University with a Theatre Arts Degree. She also had a scholarship to the summer stock program at the Pacific Conservatory for the Arts in Santa Monica. Following that, she worked in the banking industry and retired after 34 years as a Vice President of the Northern Trust Co. Sandy and Joyce perform a light hearted musical show that Joyce wrote, called Committee of Two. Music and theater have played a huge role in the lives of the Greenberg’s and the spirit continues. Back in 1980, Joyce appeared in a Chicago production of Fiddler on the Roof with her two daughters, Iris and Jacki. Now, Jacki and her two daughters have just finished a run of Fiddler in Champaign, IL. 53

You may have noticed an abundance of red-noses on the pickleball courts a few weeks ago. This had nothing to do with any overindulgence on the part of the players, but rather, it was a sign of another highly successful fundraising campaign by Linda Durkee and the SCG Pickleball Club. This time the occasion was the Red Nose Day charity event. Red Nose Day is a fund-raising campaign operated by the non-profit organization Comic Relief, Inc. The organization raised $23 million last year in the USA for programs designed to keep children safe, healthy and educated. Linda Durkee, along with Vice President Bill Murphy, President Steve

Linda’s Sunday Pickleball group with guest family Carrie, Callie & Jakin Masburn (MC, Doug Pustari) Berwald, the SCG Pickleball Club and many others organized a Pay-to-Play day where Linda’s Sunday Pickleball group

and others donned their Red Noses and successfully collected several hundred dollars for the charity.

Make sure that you tune in to the Red Nose Day Special on NBC, Thursday, May 26 at 9/8c where SCG Pickleball represents Arizona as one of the 50 Stories/50 States. And lastly, don’t delay in purchasing your very own Red Nose at Walgreens, the exclusive retail partner of the second annual Red Nose Day. And don’t forget to display it proudly on May 26. 54

2016 KIDS’ GRAND HAND PROGRAM FUNDRAISING RESULTS

This is the final report on our 2016 Kids’ Grand Hand fundraising results, and it is amazing once again! The grand total donated this year for the benefit of our in-need school district children is $4,815.57. Also, the grand total raised since we began our Kids’ Grand Hand program 7 years ago is $34,964.90. Just tremendous!! All the praise and thanks go out to you who have continued to support Kids’ Grand Hand - lots and lots of warm and caring SCG folks such as yourselves, plus two SCG Clubs (the Grand Dems and

the Glass Arts Clubs). You have put so many smiles on the faces of those who need a hand up during trying times. You should feel very proud of the part you all have played in this effort! Just a couple asides that always melt my heart: — A direct quote taken from one of our banners we get each year expressing thanks from recipients of our Kids’ Grand Hand program — “I can’t thank you enough for your help. Thank you for putting smiles on my babies’ faces. I’m so glad Angels like you exist.” ~Adriana

And I leave you with this beauty that makes me humble each time I read it “Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up!” I am hopeful that all of you will keep supporting our Kids’ Grand Hand program each year so we might bring a glimmer of hope where these glimmers turn to chances at success. Just remember — it shouldn’t hurt to be a child!! Best Regards, and with thanks, Dave Farrand Kids’ Grand Hand
