Please help us to help you and your fellow owners by ensuring that your property stays free of these unsightly intruders.

FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

DOES LANDSCAPING INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME? THE MAINTAINED PROPERTY OWNERS ARE COUNTING ON IT.

Kenneth Olson, CMCA, AMS General Manager

On October 8th, we broke ground in the Maintained Properties to improve the irrigation system. For years, the homes located in the each of the Maintained subdivisions were unable to receive sufficient irrigation to their plant material. Consequently, for years the plants had to be replaced over and over because they died. The issue was the original design of the irrigation system. The developer only installed one small drip irrigation valve to provide water for 17 homes on the same street. Many non-maintained residents in Grand have two or three valves for just one home. To compound the issue the developer used an inferior irrigation pipe under the ground that deteriorated over the years. The updated irrigation system in each neighborhood will have the proper configuration of pipes and valves installed to provide the proper supply of

water to the new plant material. On September 13th, the Board of Sun City Grand approved the replacement of the irrigation system. They also approved a new plant selection and a minimum and maximum number of plants. Now residents who felt very frustrated because their landscaping looked so unflattering can look forward to not only having a new advanced irrigation system but also the ability to change the look of their front yard. Our Management Representative, Jim Kauth, is meeting with every homeowner to review their landscaping and will allow them to upgrade their plant material (at their own cost) as part of this large

irrigation project in each neighborhood. Meeting times and dates will be scheduled through Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office for the homeowners in each neighborhood. The plan is to meet with homeowners of all the neighborhoods by May 1, 2019 even though the work in many of these neighborhoods will start until later in the year. As the irrigation improvements begin, homeowners are replacing the same tired looking plants with ones that provide color and aroma to their yards. These new plants are drought tolerant, frost resistant, and virtually maintenance free. Landscaping can add thousands of dollars to the value of a home. It is one of the few home improvements residents can make that not only adds value immediately, but also increases in value as the years go by. While interior decor and design concepts regularly go out of style and mechanical systems wear down, plants grow fuller and more robust as the years go by. The Maintained Property owners are hoping this major project will not only give them a landscape they will be proud of for years to come, but also increase the value of their home when it sells.

CONVERSATION WITH KEN

The Conversation with Ken session provides a good opportunity for homeowners to bring questions to the General Manager and engage in discussion in a casual format. Conversation with Ken is on November 21st at 6 p.m. in the Palm Center. 8

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF GOLF OPERATIONS

Rules of Golf Etiquette Jeff Hochman Director of Golf Operations

As you are aware, there are 34 rules that golfers should adhere to according to the “Rules of Golf”. But before you even start to read the “Rules of Golf”, Section 1 of the rule book refers to: Etiquette; Behavior on the Course. There is a section on this because it is one of the single most important things a golfer can do. Below is a list of the top 5 telling tales that you have great or not so great golf etiquette.

Pace of Play This is probably the single most frustrating item to a

golfer and can/has caused many to leave the game of golf. Everyone feels that the pace of play is not their fault but rather someone else’s. Pace of play is everyone’s responsibility. Your part is to make sure that you are playing the correct set of tees, be ready to hit when it is your turn to play and to keep up with the group in front of you (forget about what the group behind you is doing).

Damage to the Course Players should avoid taking divots when taking a practice swing or hitting their club into the ground out of anger. Players should not lean on their clubs when they are on the putting green. You should take care when taking the flagstick in and out of the cup and

setting it down gently on the green. A golfer with great etiquette will always repair ball marks on the greens and fill divots with sand in the fairways.

Safety First Players should always be aware of their surroundings and to make sure that they never take a practice swing or a golf shot if it is unsafe to do so. You have to be aware that it is not only the ball that can hurt someone but also any loose twigs or pebbles that might go flying after the shot. If for some reason you have hit a shot that might hit someone, you should always SCREAM the traditional word “FORE”.

The Spirit of the Game Golf is a game of selfpolicing and integrity. It

is about protecting the rest of the field and showing consideration for other players. Golf does not have a referee or an umpire watching over every shot that you play. You should always conduct yourself in a manner that is courteous and sportsmanlike at all times no matter how competitive the game may be.

Play by the Rules As I stated earlier, there are only 34 rules that a golfer needs to abide by. Yes, some are more complicated than others. If you live by these 3, you are off to a great start; 1) Play the ball as it lies 2) Don’t take any unfair advantage 3) Leave the course in better condition than you found it.

RUN SMART You’ve read the

governing documents, you are passionate about SCG, you’re thinking of running for one of the three openings on the HOA Board of Directors, but you still want to know more. Don Love, newly elected member of the Board, has some advice, and a very important invitation.

Are you thinking of running for the Board of Directors?

Then Get SMART before throwing your hat in the ring. First and foremost, Don advises, don’t bring your personal agenda to the Board. “An organization like this,” Don reminds us, “runs on process not personality.” When evaluating a Board member, it shouldn’t be about whether or not he/she voted as I wanted, but whether or not the Board member conducted him/herself well, did the research, presented their position, and listened to others. And don’t forget, “Each resident’s concern is as relevant as the other 17,000 residents’ concerns.” The Board member should work toward making the community enjoyable and stress free for the residents. Board candidates should bring “a deep desire to make a positive impact on the community”. Don believes we need a strong board, capable of designing the policies and allowing the General Manager and staff to implement them. “In the past, sometimes the Board has not taken control. The Board needs to set policy and then follow through. Our residents need to have confidence they are being heard, their needs and wants respected. A criticism of a Board member(s) is a WDO - a Well-Disguised Opportunity - to do something. Perhaps the proposal needs to be reframed. Don’t be defensive. Likewise, you can’t be a ‘pleaser’ only and say you would but the other board members won’t. The Board must speak as a Board.” Asked about what would help prepare a resident for running for the Board, Don responded: n Join a committee. n If you think you are qualified and have a desire to serve, run for the Board. n Ask yourself if you are a process person. n Can you say ‘no’ with a smile? n Do you listen well? n Are you willing to commit the time for the duration of your term—25-30 hours a week.

Grand Lifestyles | October 2018 | grandinfo.com

And here’s that special invitation: We need more WOMEN to be on the Board Why? Because there are more women in SCG and there needs to be a balance of gender in the decision making team at all levels. There is a shelf life, according to Don, for being a Board member, a time when your particular skills and expertise may be most relevant. Is this your time? We thank you, Don, for your service to Sun City Grand.

STILL THINKING OF RUNNING? THEN RUN SMART.

S tudy the governing documents. M eetings are open and posted online. Show up and observe. A ttend board chats, committee meetings, neighborhood rep and block watch meetings. R esidents have history, ideas, energy. Meet them, greet them and listen to them. T ime management is crucial. Develop a personal plan. Watch for articles in this and upcoming Grand Lifestyles featuring insights and advice from three of our current board members. Candidate applications will be available: n December 17 at the Membership Desk in the Palm Center n Online at www.grandinfo.com n Application must be returned by January 7, 2019 at 4 pm at the Membership Desk We’re here to Help! Your Grand Election Team scgelections@gmail.com

FROM THE LIFESTYLES MANAGER

Expressions of gratitude are known to lift one’s spirits. During this Thanksgiving season lift your spirits by expressing how thankful you are. Be it for what we receive, whether material or immaterial, it is through gratitude that people recognize the goodness in their lives. The word gratitude derives from the Latin word gratia, which means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness. Gratitude connects us together, as a family and as a community. Join us for an event this season with your family, friends and neighbors. Share in the spirit of your Sun City Grand Community.

FROM THE FITNESS MANAGER

CAN CHI GONG HELP ME? Allison Adams Fitness Manager

Chi Gong looks at the body as interconnected system, not as a collection of individual parts. There is no need to do one exercise for your biceps and another for your glutes. Instead, Chi Gong integrates the upper body with the lower body, the right side with the left side, and the extremities with the core. Alignment and posture are part of this structural integration, and Chi Gong trains you to find alignments that are safe and unstrained, allowing you to perform graceful movements. You move more efficiently throughout your day. The result is less stress and load on your joints and better balance. Improved posture has benefits that extend well beyond your Chi Gong class. When you walk or sit with your shoulders rounded and your torso hunched over, it is hard to take deep breaths. But when you straighten your back, roll your shoulders back and down, and open your chest, you breathe more deeply and efficiently. Not only does this integration improve your ability to move without pain, but it also affects your mental health. In two different studies, people who sat or walked more upright during the experiments had a more positive outlook afterward than those who slouched while sitting or walking. How do we implement these changes and then maintain them going forward? The word decision originates from the Latin and literally means "to cut off" all other options. Vacillating takes more energy (chi / qi) than making a decision. Once you make

a decision and "cut off" the other options there is less weight of indecision on your shoulders. Here is the trick with indecision. We are wired for a 5 second window on making a choice, then the doubting thoughts kick in. Doubts of how it will not work out. In that first 5 second you know what will drive you forward, but you have to make the decision and cut off the chance for doubt to arise. Hesitation can be a blockage. Yes, hesitation on some things, like getting a tattoo, can be a good thing! But when it comes to your well-being goals - taking immediate action has its rewards. It takes so much energy to participate in this world of constant demands that we often maneuver around what is important for our well being and opt for the momentary easy out. We do this in so many little ways that we hardly notice how the changes are creeping up on us. You know those little changes you promise yourself to address a little later when it is more convenient - The stiff joints, the loss of balance, the fatigue

and breathless feeling after climbing a flight of stairs, and even not sleeping well at night. What if you could integrate a way of improving your health and longevity without having to make any huge changes all at once in your life. It's already a plan. It's called Chi Gong. Chi Gong gives you techniques to sneak into your life that will stop the slow leak of youthfulness from your body and mind and reverse what is considered inevitable. A better understanding of how the body melds all of its functions into a well oiled machine is a goal of Chi Gong. Understanding and overseeing our bodies makes us a good caretaker. We need to stay vigilant and proactive to achieve our goals. We do not have to reinvent that proverbial wheel. Chi Gong, over thousands of years, has perfected the plan and it is proven every day by millions of people throughout the world who have made the decision to take advantage of the carefully crafted methods to gain and maintain their energy levels, balance, sharp memory, and efficiently working body.

SPACE ALLOCATION UPDATE The Space Allocation Ad-hoc Committee is composed of six subcommittees who presented their findings to the Board of Directors three advisors on Oct. 19th. The subcommittees are VALUE STATEMENT, PHYSICAL EXPANSION, CHARTERED CLUB NEEDS, ROOM SCHEDULING, and COMMUNICATIONS.

1. VALUE STATEMENT

SPACE ALLOCATION COMMITTEE BOARD ADVISORS: Ellie Brooks Bob Aiken Jeff Gibbs COMMITTEE CHAIRS: Value Statement CJ Rainaldi Physical Expansion Ellie Brooks Chartered Club Needs Melanie Houser Room Scheduling Judy Snedecker Communications Bob Cornfield Trends And Opportunities Arline Inman CONTACT: scgspaceallocation@gmail.com Bob Cornfield 925.998.1813 HULTSMAN REPORT: www.grandinfo.com Strategic Planning 16

3. CHARTERED CLUB NEEDS

How should space be allocated? What values are important to the community and the needs of the resident while making efficient use of space? In order to make recommendations to the board, it was decided that a sample survey of the residents was necessary. A review of past surveys and many meetings later, a survey was created and emailed to a random selection of residents just prior to Oct 1. The results were reviewed, and a report was presented.

2. PHYSICAL EXPANSION What space is available within Sun City Grand for club expansion? What space could be repurposed, i.e. Churches, restaurants, office space, purchase or rental? Just about every conceivable possibility is being studied with resident needs and desires considered. When Del Webb received approval from the City of Surprise for this development, parking spaces available had to meet the then current requirements or get an exception. Today, the requirements have changed, and any change to the size and/or shape of existing buildings might trigger a review to bring us into compliance with current regulations. We don’t have room for more parking without very costly changes. This restricts the possibilities for expansion of our existing buildings. This committee has made recommendations that they believe are feasible.

How is the current space being used by the clubs? Is there a more efficient way to allocate the space such as sharing space or extending the hours of use. What are the clubs requesting? All of the Chartered Clubs have been visited, and discussions have taken place regarding their requests for more space. Many of the clubs have outgrown their current space and are waiting to hear the recommendations sent to the board for solutions. This problem grows every year. In the past, several of the clubs have moved or redesigned their layouts to make it work. These clubs will be making presentations to the Space Allocation Committee in November.

4. ROOM SCHEDULING How is space requested/assigned now? What do we do with rooms that are not scheduled to be used? What are the “drop-in” opportunities now/future? This committee also needed to meet with club representatives to discuss how they are going about requesting room reservations, how they use the rooms, for how long, for how many residents, storage needs, etc. Meetings have been held with approximately 12 groups. Some meet in the evening, and there is not an issue with space availability. Others meet during the daytime and have more difficulty obtaining space. Some rooms/buildings are designated for one club but are often empty. Residents should have access to space when it is not scheduled for use.

possible. The monthly meeting of the board representatives and committee chairmen is open to all Grand residents and advertised as such.

6. TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES

5. COMMUNICATIONS

The mission of this committee is to determine what amenities should be offered at Sun City Grand. They went about it by surveying other active adult communities regionally as well as nationally.

Attempt to manage the expectations of the residents. Respond to e-mail comments and forward to the appropriate committee. Coordinate with the Long Range Planning Committee. Articles like this, e-blasts and meetings are some of the tools used to share information with the residents. The work of this Space Allocation Committee is to be as transparent as

What technology would benefit our residents and their clubs? Centralized control/access/key entry system for all club buildings and club participation via card swipes is being discussed. Do we need Charter Club leadership training? Do other communities offer it? After visiting many other communities on-site and online, a number of ideas were listed for further discussion. Here is a

sampling: Sports Bar, Ready Golf, Corn-hole, Yoga and Pilates studio. Those ideas that represent “trends” were presented in a report (with pictures), and secondly, it was illustrated how these ideas could fit into our lifestyle here in Grand.

WHAT’S NEXT?

A new committee called the SOLUTIONS TEAM was formed to work on the ideas presented to the board on October 19th. This team consists of three board members, the sub-committee chairs and one volunteer from each subcommittee. It is time to reduce the findings of the Space Allocation Ad Hoc Committee to a few recommendations to the Board of Directors in February 2019, so they can consider moving forward on some of them. A full review of the sub-committee reports will be in the December Grand Lifestyles magazine.

FORWARD EVOLUTION As we said in previous articles the process for the Board of Directors’ election has changed. Each month we have been introducing you to those changes, which we think you will find helpful and more streamlined. Here’s another.

So, you don’t want to vote on-line. Although we encourage you to save trees and all that, we have a paper ballot for you. A paper ballot will not be mailed to your home, however during the voting period January 23 to February 12, you can pick up a ballot from a Membership representative in the Phoenix Room of the Palm Center. You can fill out the ballot right there and give it back to the representative, who will scan it to Vote-Now. Or you can take your ballot home, fill it out and mail it back to Vote-Now (postage stamp required). All mail-in paper ballots must be received by Vote-Now by 4 pm EST on February 11th. If you don’t or can’t vote during the time set aside, you get one last chance. On February 12 we will offer a one day in-person polling place for you to come and cast your vote. The Election Team and members of the Computer Club will be there to assist. So, if paper is your thing, we’ve got you covered. We’re here to Help! Your Grand Election Team. scgelections@gmail.com

RENTING OUT YOUR SCG HOME This year we have seen ads on Airbnb and VRBO showing Sun City Grand homes being rented out for less than 30 days. Many residents have reported these ads to the Membership Office hoping we could identify those owners and educate them with the rules for renting out the home. Sun City Grand Governing Documents require that a rental lease be for no less than 30 days. Some Airbnb and VRBO ads list daily and/or weekly rates, indicating the owner is willing to rent for days or weeks, rather than the 30day minimum. If you have such an ad, please revise your ad to include a “30-day minimum” clause. SCG homes may be leased only in their entirety. No fraction or portion may be leased. A renter is not a “guest” of the home owner, and cannot be signed up as a guest at the Fitness Centers. Per the Rules & Regulations, renters have no privileges to use SCG amenities unless they purchase the renter activity card at the Membership Office. Purchase of the

card is not required, however the owner must notify the Membership Office with the rental information prior to renter occupancy. Renters have a positive revenue impact on our community, and we want them to feel welcome and appreciated. With our heavy rental season about to begin, if you currently own a rental home, or are contemplating doing so in the future, please review the rental rules for

Grand Lifestyles | November 2018 | grandinfo.com

SCG, particularly the 30-day minimum requirement, as well as the minimum age of 45. A synopsis of the rental rules can be viewed on grandinfo.com under the heading “Grand Homes/Your Home”. Educating yourself and your renters will make their stay in SCG a much more pleasurable experience. For any questions you may have, contact the Membership Office at 623-546-7444, or meda.cates@ scgcam.com.

We are looking for SCG men and women volunteers to help with Vacation Watch and Evening Patrol. We will supply vehicles and training. Call Monica Rodriguez (CAM) 623-546-7468 or the C.H.A.P.S. office 623-546-7553 and leave a message if you are interested in joining us!

SOUTHWEST ADVENTURE SERIES

Just a few miles north of the Mexican border, Douglas, Arizona, once a remote ranching town, is home to the notorious Gadsden Hotel. Built in 1902, then destroyed by fire, the Gadsden was rebuilt in 1929 in the Art Nouveau style— offering a magnificent Tiffany stained glass window overlooking the lobby, and a sweeping Italian marble staircase up which Pancho Villa reportedly rode his horse. The hotel provided gracious hospitality to the growing business brought in by the mining industry and the settling of the Arizona Territory. The lobby of the Gadsden, “the living room” hosted cattlemen, ranchers, copper mining executives and businessmen. For all of the Gadsden’s rich history, the hotel also had a dark side— hosting gamblers, and notable lawless characters of the American West. Famously haunted, guests and staff members have reported paranormal encounters on every floor, with the third floor seeming to be the epicenter. The basement of the Gadsden is beyond fascinating—a 7,000 square foot labyrinth of twenty rooms—which secretly housed a speakeasy, bootleg whiskey tunnels, brothels, and more.

Day One

We’ll leave the Valley with a stop for coffee and goodies, on way to Tombstone—The Town Too Tough To Die. Tombstone is home to many great little restaurants where we’ll enjoy lunch on self, and later take some time to stroll the blood-soaked streets, before jumping back on the bus headed for Douglas. We’ll arrive at the Gadsden Hotel, check into our beautifully renovated hotel rooms, and after a refresh we’ll gather at the Saddle & Spur Saloon for Happy Hour—first round included! Later we’ll enjoy dinner on self at The Casa Segovia Restaurant, also located in the hotel. A great favorite with the locals, The Casa Segovia’s affordable menu runs from American favorites to traditional Mexican dishes. After dinner we’ll be joined by Anel Lopez, who along with her husband Florencio, currently owns the Gadsden. Anel will guide us on a spooky tour of the third floor, and then

take us down into the basement. Anel loves to lead guests through the mazelike basement, recounting the darker history that arose from the underbelly of the hotel!

Day Two

Breakfast is on self at the hotel, then it’s bags out and we’re off to explore Slaughter Ranch, the former home of John Slaughter —Civil War veteran, Texas Ranger, trail-driver, cattle-king, sheriff, Arizona state representative and professional gambler. John Slaughter, more than anyone else, brought law and order to the Arizona Territory, with his six-shooter, repeating shotgun and Henry rifle. He was admired by Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid and Pat Garret, just to name a few. To visit Slaughter Ranch is to truly take a step back in time. Originally known as San Bernardino Ranch, the atmosphere seems untouched since John Slaughter’s time. We’ll enjoy the spectacular scenery and wildlife, surrounding the old adobe

ranch house, ice house, wash house, granary, commissary and more. Slaughter Ranch offers a glimpse of what life was like when John Slaughter rode. From here we’ll head to Bisbee, located 90 miles southeast of Tucson in the scenic Mule Mountains. Founded in 1880, Bisbee was one of the most cultured cities in the American West, the largest city between St. Louis and San Francisco. Downtown Bisbee still retains much of its Cosmopolitan charm, with its mining camp roots also fully on display in the notorious Brewery Gulch district, once home to 50 saloons and several brothels. We’ll explore the streets of Bisbee, now home to many interesting shops and galleries, and we’ll enjoy lunch on self with several wonderful restaurants to choose from. Midafternoon we’ll head for home, enjoying the incredibly scenic rolling hills of Southern Arizona and plenty of great stops along the way. This is a fabulous and affordable tour! Do not hesitate to call in your reservations— hotel rooms are very limited.

SCG RESIDENT OF THE MONTH

GEORGE HAYDEN'S LOVE OF THE AUTOMOBILE Nominated and Submitted by Bob Harris SCG Resident

During the decades of the 40s, 50s, 60s & 70s there was no greater symbol of a teenage lad reaching the threshold of adulthood than owning his first car. It was a symbol of status providing independence and the freedom to make decisions. It meant the ownership of something of major value. The lad’s pride in ownership stimulated his devotion to fixing, modifying, washing and polishing his car to make it beautiful. This description applies to our resident George Hayden except for one important detail. George was not a teenager. His first car was given to him by his father when he was eleven years old to “enjoy fixing it up”. The car was a broken down vehicle, a mess, probably not worth the sale of it even for scrap metal. But, young George took to the task ahead with great energy and joy. In the process he learned how to use tools and he began to understand the mechanics of a car and the different systems essential to making it function. By the time he was in his mid-teens George used his skills to get a job in the service department of a local dealership. And, his learning continued as did his enjoyment of working on cars. That passion was interrupted by WWII. As soon as George could legally enlist, he joined the Navy, serving in the Submarine Corp until late1946. Upon his discharge, he hurried back to North Dakota to marry the wonderful girl who had waited for him. Betty and George married on January 1, 1947. And, he returned to the dealership to renew his joyful work on cars. Within a few years, he was considered an expert in the field of auto body repair and auto mechanics. It was time to expand his career horizon. George and a high school buddy with the same interests and skills opened their own business in Watford City North Dakota. The business thrived because of their high quality professional skills and fair treatment 40

of customers. George continued to operate the business for more than three decades finally selling it in the 1981 so that he could retire. But retirement was a unique challenge. George hadn’t lost his love for “fixing up” a vehicle. It was only the demands of owning a business that he was willing to change. In those idle days of retirement, he travelled around the countryside of North Dakota looking for very old vehicles, something that had been discarded as worthless. For example, he found a 1925 Ford “Model T” truck, wheels partially buried in a field with many broken parts. That model had been among the first trucks off of Ford’s assembly line. George quickly envisioned the old truck as a potential gem, not the piece of junk it appeared to be. Over the following ten years, George disassembled the entire truck part by part. Seriously broken or missing parts were replaced by other parts found in junk yards around the state. Every part of his truck was reconditioned, engine and body, to operating condition. All the many years of rust were removed from the body’s surfaces then restored with paint to the luster of

In state and local car shows, including Sun City Grand’s, you’ll find 93 year old George Hayden and his 93 year old Ford truck together as symbols of the unique love which exists between a young lad and his vehicle. They are also symbols of the real meaning of retirement. Retirement is not the process of abandoning our professional skills so that we might prepare to die. Rather, retirement is the process of refocusing our professional skills toward new and meaningful projects, projects of love which serve the greater good for everyone. During his 37 years of retirement, George has reconditioned twenty vintage vehicles. How ironic that his father’s clever idea to motivate his son to learn how to use tools and repair cars became the foundation for a wonderful legacy…the restoration of antique American automobiles. Thanks George for refocusing a cherished memory in all of our lives…owning our first car or truck and cruising Main Street of our hometown with the girl we loved.

NOTE

Anyone is eligible to nominate someone who they feel has accomplished a lot in Sun City Grand. It can be a hobby, a craft, or making an impact in the community. Nomination forms are available at the Activites office, and completed nominations need to be submitted to the Activites office by the 10th of the month.

STORY OF CHANUKAH

The eight-day Jewish celebration known as Hanukkah or Chanukah commemorates the rededication during the second century B.C. of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, where according to legend, Jews had risen up against their GreekSyrian oppressors in the Maccabean Revolt. Hanukkah, which means “dedication” in Hebrew, begins on the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar and usually falls in November or December. When the Jews took part in the rededication of the Second Temple they witnessed what they believe to be a miracle. Even though there was only enough untainted olive oil to keep the menorah’s candles burning for a single day, the flames continued flickering for eight nights, leaving them time to find a fresh supply. This wondrous event inspired Jewish sages to proclaim a yearly eight day festival. For that reason, only one candle is lit on the first night. Two candles are lit on the second night. Three candles are lit on the third night until all eight candles are lit on the last night. Often called the Festival of Lights, the holiday is celebrated with lighting of the Menorah, traditional foods, games and gifts.

2018 Chanukah Celebration

After the lighting of the Menorah in front of the Chaparral Center we will sing traditional Chanukah songs and donuts will be served.

Want to meet others that share this interest? If so, then plan to come over to the beautiful 18-hole putting green located just west of the Cimarron club house, right off of W. Clearview Blvd. You are invited to play a “guest” round with one of a Men Putters club member.

PUTTING SCHEDULE

The Men Putters do “their thing” weekly on Tuesday and Wednesday, at 1:00 PM, both days, starting in November. (In the summer, we go to an early morning start time in order to beat the heat.) Members feel free to pick whatever day they prefer to participate and some even putt both days.

HERE IS A TYPICAL DAILY EVENT

Register to play, be paired with another person, putt 18 holes, and lastly, participate in a 19th hole challenge (this is a special one-hole challenge). Other change-of-pace fun putting challenges are offered throughout the year long program.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

There are some occasional social activities when members meet to vote on new officers OR just meet for club sponsored soda and hot dogs.

VOLUNTEERS

Member volunteers run the club’s daily putting activities such as setting up the course, registering members and guests, etc. The Men Putters is a new club, started several years ago, and membership has continued to grow with each new season.

Membership, pictures and lots of other information can be found on our website: www.scgmenputters.weebly.com. Or, you can simply stop by the Cimarron green to meet us and just ask about joining.

The bus will be cruising the same route, so you can jump on, or jump off, as you please. There are more than 20 restaurants within a few blocks of the trail, so you’ll have a lot to choose from for lunch on self, and most of the sites on the tour are marked with historical plaques that provide additional information.

THE ARIZONA - SENORA DESERT MUSEUM Don’t be fooled by the name—the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum is more zoo than museum—and it is one of the best zoos in the nation. The Sonoran Desert of central and southern Arizona and parts of northern Mexico, contains within its boundaries, not only arid lands, but also forested mountains, springs, rivers and streams. To reflect this diversity, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum exhibits encompass the full spectrum of Sonoran Desert life—from plants and insects to fish, reptiles and mammals—and all are on display in very natural settings. Coyotes and javelinas are cozy in their compounds, surrounded by fences that are nearly invisible. We’ll see black bears, mountain lions, prairie dogs and bighorn sheep, and explore the fabulous walk-in hummingbird aviary. We’ll enjoy 16 individual desert botanical gardens along an easy walking trail that lopes through the museum. We’ll also enjoy lunch on self, with your choice of either the upscale Ocotillo Café, or Ironwood Terraces, where lunch is served cafeteria style.

THE HISTORIC GADSDEN HOTEL Just a few miles north of the Mexican border, Douglas, Arizona, once a remote ranching town, is home to the notorious Gadsden Hotel. Built in 1902, then destroyed by fire, the Gadsden was rebuilt in 1929 in the Art Nouveau style—offering a magnificent Tiffany stained glass window overlooking the lobby, and a sweeping Italian marble staircase up which Pancho Villa reportedly rode his horse. The hotel provided gracious hospitality to the growing business brought in by the mining industry and the settling of the Arizona Territory. The lobby of the Gadsden, “the living room” hosted cattlemen, ranchers, copper Grand Lifestyles | November 2018 | grandinfo.com

TICKETED EVENTS Tickets available online at www.grandinfo.com or at the Activities desk unless noted otherwise. mining executives and businessmen. For all of the Gadsden’s rich history, the hotel also had a dark side—hosting gamblers, and notable lawless characters of the American West. Famously haunted, guests and staff members have reported paranormal encounters on every floor, with the third floor seeming to be the epicenter. The basement of the Gadsden is beyond fascinating—a 7,000 square foot labyrinth of twenty rooms—which secretly housed a speakeasy, bootleg whiskey tunnels, brothels, and more. Day One: We’ll leave the Valley with a stop for coffee and goodies, on way to Tombstone—The Town Too Tough To Die. Tombstone is home to many great little restaurants where we’ll enjoy lunch on self, and later take some time to stroll the blood-soaked streets, before jumping back on the bus headed for Douglas. We’ll arrive at the Gadsden Hotel, check into our beautifully renovated hotel rooms, and after a refresh we’ll gather at the Saddle & Spur Saloon for Happy Hour—first round included! Later we’ll enjoy dinner on self at The Casa Segovia Restaurant, also located in the hotel. A great favorite with the locals, The Casa Segovia’s affordable menu runs from American favorites to traditional Mexican dishes. After dinner we’ll be joined by Anel Lopez, who along with her husband Florencio, currently owns the Gadsden. Anel will guide us on a spooky tour of the third floor, and then take us down into the basement. Anel loves to lead guests through the maze-like basement, recounting the darker history that arose from the underbelly of the hotel! Day Two: Breakfast is on self at the hotel, then it’s bags out and we’re off to explore Slaughter Ranch, the former home of John Slaught—Civil War veteran, Texas Ranger, trail-driver, cattle-king, sheriff, Arizona state representative and professional gambler. John Slaughter, more than anyone else, brought law and order to the Arizona Territory, with his six-shooter, repeating shotgun and Henry rifle. He was admired by Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid and Pat Garret, just to name a few. To visit Slaughter Ranch is to truly take a step back in time. Originally known as San Bernardino Ranch, the atmosphere seems untouched since John Slaughter’s time. We’ll enjoy the spectacular scenery and wildlife, surrounding the old adobe ranch house, ice house, wash house, granary, commissary and more. Slaughter Ranch offers a glimpse of what life was like when John Slaughter rode. From here we’ll head to Bisbee, located 90 miles southeast of Tucson in the scenic Mule Mountains. Founded in 1880, Bisbee was one of the most cultured cities in the American West, the largest city between St. Louis and San Francisco. Downtown Bisbee still retains much of its Cosmopolitan charm, with its mining camp roots also fully on display in the notorious Brewery Gulch district, once home to 50 saloons and several brothels. We’ll explore the streets of Bisbee, now home to many interesting shops and galleries, and we’ll enjoy lunch on self with several wonderful restaurants to choose from. Midafternoon we’ll head for home, enjoying the incredibly scenic rolling hills of Southern Arizona and plenty of great stops along the way. This is a fabulous and affordable tour! Do not hesitate to call in your reservations—hotel rooms are very limited. *This trip is offered in conjunction with Kindred Tours.

Nancy Hayden Council Member, District 2

It’s hard to believe that we are already entering holiday season 2018! It seems like just yesterday that we were counting down the clock to celebrate the New Year. With so much action occurring over the course of 2018, it’s no wonder time has seemingly flown by. As this year draws to a close, we’re showing no signs of slowing down our activities. If you have family and friends in town, be sure to bring them to some of the great festivities the city has planned throughout November.

AZ HUMANITIES — SPECTERS OF THE PAST: ARIZONA’S GHOST TOWNS November 7th at 11 a.m. City Council Chambers

Speaker: Jay Mark The promise of unimagined riches is what brought many of the earliest colonizers to the Arizona Territory. Following the trail to the discovery of the mother lode, they built, then dismantled and finally abandoned communities when mines played out – leaving behind tantalizing clues of difficult hardships. Some towns survived like Bisbee, Jerome, Tombstone and Oatman. Most disappeared, gradually becoming absorbed back into the

desert from which they arose. This presentation explores more than a decade of historian Jay Mark’s journeys to these fascinating ghost places, along with their stories – long-forgotten places like Charleston, Contention City, Mowry, Fairbank, Gleeson and Congress.

VETERANS DAY PARADE November 12th

Pancake Breakfast from 7–9 a.m. Parade starts at 9:30 a.m. Join us as we honor the service and sacrifices of our Veterans at the 4th Annual Veterans Day Parade. All activities will take place along Bullard Avenue, near Surprise Stadium. Please note that city offices will be closed in observance of Veterans Day.

POLICE AND FIRE-MEDICAL CHARITY SOFTBALL GAME November 12th Surprise Stadium

Gates open at approximately 10:30 a.m., game begins at 11:30 a.m. Immediately following the Veterans Day Parade, the Surprise Police and Fire-Medical Departments will face off in a charity softball game. Admission is free, and food will be provided; however,

ASK CAPPIE THE COMPUTER CAT

SAFETY TIPS FOR LATEST TECHNOLOGY

My wife is paranoid about using the Internet and Social Media sites. She constantly worries about us getting “hacked” or getting our identities stolen or about the latest thing she calls ransomware. Can you give us some tips to safely use today’s technology tools without her having to worry every time I log on? Mort from Sun City Grand Dear Mort, Not to ruin your day with scare tactics, but your wife has some legitimate concerns if you do not use common sense when using the internet. There are people out there who make a living stealing other people’s private and financial information. They gather a bit of information here and another there—which add up to getting enough information to steal your identity and then use your identity to transfer money from your bank account to theirs, apply for credit cards in your name, purchase expensive items online, and a variety of other crimes. The key to staying safe online is to make it difficult for these criminals to obtain your private information. MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO GET INTO YOUR ACCOUNTS n

Create long passwords (9 or more characters). Include lower and upper case, letters, numbers, symbols, and punctuation marks. DO NOT use the same password for multiple sites and services (like

using the same password for your banking site and email account). Change the default passwords for anything connected to your home network, especially your router. It is the most important device to secure because your router could give a hacker complete access to your home network. Don’t forget other connected devices like security cameras, smart refrigerators, automated door locks, etc. n Turn on two-factor authentication for any site that supports it because it can protect your account even if a hacker does get your password. n Make up fake information as answers to security questions that are designed to help you recover a lost password or forgotten user name because many real answers can be readily found online through public information searches. Just make sure you secure those answers where you can access them if needed in the future. n Set all your devices to update their operating

systems, programs and apps automatically so that if there were breeches and security flaws found, the manufacturer of the system or software could fix the issue immediately. Use a system that backs up your files automatically so if you are hacked or hit with ransomware, you’ll have the option of restoring the data. (If you are using an external drive, disconnect it from your computer after backups). Also, before downloading apps, check to make sure the source/ creator of the app is a reputable one.

DO NOT CONDUCT BUSINESS ON UNFAMILIAR WIRELESS NETWORKS n

Cappie has suggested time and again: do NOT use free Wi-Fi offered in public places because criminals can use a software tool called a sniffer (it captures data flowing over the internet connection in real time). When you connect to the Internet via unsecured public Wi-Fi, (like at an airport, coffee shop, or hotel), hackers can use this software to sniff your web surfing and steal sensitive data like passwords, credit card numbers, bank account information, etc.

Special thanks to Klaudia for submitting the photo of her lovable pup, Gwin, a rescue. Visit the Club website www.grandcomputers.org for information about computer classes, Special Interest Groups, Coffee Chats, help with your computer, phone, tablet and more.

Grand Lifestyles | November 2018 | grandinfo.com

Never do online banking or online shopping unless you are on a secure network or use a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN is an application which extends a private network across a public network so when you send and receive data across public networks it acts as if your computer or smartphone were directly connected to a private network. n If you are doing any online business transactions, make sure the site uses SSL, which is a security protocol that encrypts all your data. You can tell if a site is using SSL by the presence of the “HTTPS” at the beginning of the website address and the padlock icon. n If you use a fitness tracker to monitor your “steps” or exercise routines, do not constantly keep your smartphone Bluetooth connected to your fitness device. While Bluetooth is a different technology, it still can be hacked. Keep your Bluetooth settings turned off until you choose to upload the data to your phone at the end of a workout or at the end of the day. If your Bluetooth connection is constantly on, criminals who are nearby can use “sniffers” to access sensitive information such as your user name, address, password, and GPS. n

BE CAREFUL WITH EMAIL USAGE. n

Use caution opening emails, clicking on links, or downloading attachments. Cyber thieves like to use phishing tactics where they create fake emails pretending to be your bank or other legitimate business and ask you to provide your private and personal information, or ask you to click a link to a fake website where you

will be requested to enter your bank user name, pin, password, etc. Delete these emails immediately. n Even if an email appears to be from a person you know, don’t download any attachments unless you are certain the person did send it. Your friend’s email could have been hacked and it could send malicious messages to you and anyone that’s on your friend’s email contacts list. n Scammers like to use fear tactics to persuade you will reveal personal information. For example, a scammer may tell you that you’re being audited by the IRS or that your computer has a dangerous virus they can fix if you hand over your personal information. Be leery if a text message or email asks for your log-on credentials. Do not reply with the information; instead, call the company direct.

LOCK DOWN YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS

Share only with friends and family. Update your privacy settings to control who can see your status updates, posts, photos, tweets, pins or other personal information. n Create a separate email account to use for all your social network sites. n Do not share any sensitive and private information on wall postings, messages, or feeds such as your address, email, phone number, actual date of birth, hometown, alma mater, location, whereabouts, marital status, name(s) of spouse or children. n

The internet can be useful, informative, and fun— if you make it a habit to use common sense and follow the safety practices listed above.
