Covenant Commission Report

Resurgence in construction welcome sight

The growth in construction around DC Ranch is evident in the Arcadia at Silverleaf neighborhood.

homes under construction. The Silverleaf Club has inspired the use of Rural Mediterranean style in Horseshoe Canyon.

With average home sizes from 6,200 square feet in The Country Club, The Parks, and Arcadia neighborhoods to more than 9,000 square feet in the Upper Canyon and Horseshoe Canyon estate neighborhoods, these homes represent the finest in architecture and construction quality. The new home construction is represented by 25 different builders and 29 different design firms.

We are projecting that 2013 will keep pace with or exceed the volume of new home designs that the Commission received in 2012. Watching the community’s vision flourish is a thrilling experience and will continue to be so over the next year.

The Covenant Commission is one of the three governing entities for DC Ranch. Our role in the community is to establish and maintain standards for architectural and landscape design within DC Ranch and Silverleaf.

We guide and review design of new custom homes, commercial and industrial products, and modifications to existing properties.

Because construction is currently booming, people often drop by our offices and inquire or comment about how much building activity there is in DC Ranch and Silverleaf. We are definitely enjoying a healthy building environment. As of now, there are 46 custom homes under construction and 89 other homes active in the design process.

Horseshoe Canyon and Arcadia at Silverleaf are the most active neighborhoods under construction. With all this activity, 16 years after the start of DC Ranch, 57 percent of the custom lots in the community have been built or are currently under construction. That represents 417 of the 735 custom lots. Only 31 percent, or 229, of the custom lots are inactive with no design or construction activity yet.

Spanish Colonial architecture remains the most popular style for custom homes with nearly half the construction homes in that style. Mediterranean architecture, both Formal and Rural, is the second most popular style represented in the current group of new

Director of membership sales departs Silverleaf Club

Spotlight on Ranch Association

Get involved as a Neighborhood Voting Member alternate Kathleen Hassler’s home was struck by lightning from a monsoon thunderstorm. Luckily, she and her husband, Jerry, had taken correct insurance precautions and were able to rebuild their home within 18 months.

Practicing lightning safety during monsoon thunderstorm season ensures peace of mind The Arizona monsoon occurs from June to October due to the intense heating of the desert which creates rising air and low surface pressure.

During the winter, the primary windflow in Arizona is from the west or northwest—from California and Nevada. Moving into the summer, the winds shift to a southerly direction which causes moisture stream from the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

Lightning from storms are considered especially hazardous during monsoon season. While a house is a good place to retreat from lightning, just going inside isn’t enough. Avoid any conducting path leading outside, such as corded telephones, electrical appliances, wires, TV cables, plumbing, metal doors, or window frames. Don’t stand near a window to watch the lightning; an inside room is generally best for protection.

Kathleen and Jerry Hassler, residents in The Engles Estates neighborhood in Desert Parks village, lost their home to a lightning strike from a monsoon thunderstorm in 2011 which escalated into a fire. Kathleen had heard a loud booming sound early in the evening, but it wasn’t until hours later that Jerry noticed a fire had started in their attic, where a smoke detector had not been installed. Luckily, no one was hurt and the Hasslers had sufficient insurance.

“Our wonderful neighbors looked after our home

and stayed in constant communication with us about building projects as we temporarily rented a home elsewhere and worked with our private adjustor and advocate to get us back on track,” said Jerry Hassler, who returned to his home in April.

Kathleen even dubs their home “Casa Milagros,” or “House of Miracles,” due to the overwhelming support of the community.

Four simple steps can protect a home from a monsoon thunderstorm:

In the event of a crisis, being there for neighbors is what brings a community together. The Hasslers are grateful for their neighbors support, kindness, and understanding during the rebuilding process.

“Having neighbors like ours is one of the reasons DC Ranch is a wonderful place to live,” said Kathleen.

The following DC Ranch team members celebrate an anniversary in June. Please join us in thanking them for their service to DC Ranch.

• E nsure that your homeowner’s insurance policy covers lightning and water damage.

• During a thunderstorm, turn off the A/C unit.

Power surges from lightning can overload units, leading to costly repair bills.

• Install smoke detectors in every room of your home, including the attic.

Colton Yates has competed in JGAA and SWPGA Tours for five years with annual improvements in both score and standings.

Teen golf sensation shares success with nation’s heroes

Photo: Gay Yates

The Master’s Tournament is one of Silverleaf resident Colton Yates’ favorite sporting events to watch on television.

But this year he was too busy playing in his own golf tournaments to have a chance to view it. At age 17, Yates is one of the up-and-coming young golfers in the Valley who college coaches are closely watching. He has competed in more than a dozen regional and national golf tournaments in the last year and has won four major competitions.

“I am a perfectionist, so when I started playing golf in my early teens, I wanted to master the sport,” said Yates.

“The more I learn about the concepts of the game, the more my confidence grows on the course.”

Confidence is what helped Yates achieve success off the course as well, by founding the Tee It Up for Warriors charity. Inspired by the bravery and selflessness of service men and women, the organization helps wounded veterans by funding various military assistance and rehabilitation groups.

“I wanted to figure out a way to raise money through my competitions to show my appreciation for those who defend our country,” said Yates.

Every time the skilled young golfer makes a birdie or eagle, Yates’ sponsors donate to Tee It Up for Warriors. At the end of the year, the organization selects

from a handful of service groups and makes a donation.

“We started the organization in September of 2012 and made a $1,900 donation to Companions for Heroes which matches rescue dogs with veterans looking for companionship,” said Yates. “I was overwhelmed with joy when I received a thank-you letter in the mail. They were not expecting this donation and it felt really good to help out.”

Yates is growing his charity by creating golf towels and polo shirts with the Tee It Up for Warriors logo. Several golfers are already sporting the attire at tournaments, and Yates hopes the increased visibility will create some buzz and interest for the charity.

“It’s kind of crazy to think that I’m the CEO of a company while still in high school,” said Yates. “But this charity is my passion and I’ve learned that passion is what drives success.” Through the first quarter of 2013, Yates’ success in tournament play has already raised another $3,000.

School and golf remain Yates’ main focuses as he works to secure a college scholarship. He already has offers from two schools, and will likely have more on the way as his success continues on and off the fairway.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy, and new volunteers are in greater need than ever. As a non-profit conservation organization, the Conservancy relies on more than 500 volunteers to help promote the McDowell Sonoran Preserve on a yearly basis. Volunteers’ work includes providing public access to the Preserve, protecting the land through research and stewardship, and increasing the community’s appreciation through educational programs and community events. By integrating the Preserve into the fabric of the Scottsdale community, the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy is focused on ensuring future volunteers will continue to champion its protection for generations to come.

The recent growth of the Preserve has created a need for more volunteers. While the real estate market collapse of 2008 caused many hardships, it was a boon for land acquisitions in the Preserve. The City of Scottsdale purchased land considered suitable for conservation that had not been acquired previously. In the past two years, the City of Scottsdale purchased 20 square miles of land as additions to the Preserve, and this year will add another four square miles. The boundary of the Preserve stretches from 145th Street and Via Linda Lane, to Stagecoach Pass and Pima Road. Currently, the Conservancy has acquired about 43 of the 54 square miles desired within the City of Scottsdale. In fact, the Preserve now connects the McDowell Mountains in the south to the Tonto National Forest boundary in the north, creating a functional corridor for wildlife. The viability of this corridor is a priority as it ensures a sustainable wildlife population through safe seasonal species migration, mating, and food availability.

With additional land comes more than 100 miles of new trails for the Conservancy to manage; extensive areas of the Preserve that need restoration, or invasive species removed; two new public trailheads that Conservancy volunteers must staff; and increased demands on our education programs including adding community hikes and family and school trips. In addition, the Conservancy will continue to advance our knowledge of the ecology of the Preserve through the ongoing inventory of the flora and fauna and mapping of natural communities found in the Preserve.

A great deal needs to be done, yet becoming a volunteer steward with the Conservancy has never been more convenient. Beginning in September, New Steward Orientations will be held on the second Saturday of every month, lasting just half a day. That’s all that it takes.

If you wish to volunteer your time right now, please contact the Conservancy at 480.998.7971 or visit mcdowellsonoran.org. In the mean time, I’ll see you on the trails.

The McDowell Sonoran Conservancy champions the sustainability of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve for the benefit of this and future generations. As stewards, we connect the community to the Preserve through education, research, advocacy, partnerships and safe, respectful access.

Nine residents honored for enriching community through service

Vibrant white gladioluses adorned the DC Ranch Community Council’s Volunteer Appreciation Celebration on Saturday, April 20. The flowers symbolize generosity, sincerity, and strength of character—the very qualities of the volunteers recognized at the event. The eight honorees have consistently donated their time and effort to help grow community within DC Ranch.

“As publisher of Ranch News, I read the paper every month and am astounded by the opportunities that DC Ranch residents create to foster community through volunteerism,” said keynote speaker Rick McCartney, CEO of InMedia Company and chair of the Children’s Museum of Phoenix Board of Directors.

With McCartney’s sentiments in mind, DC Ranch is pleased to express gratitude to these extraordinary individuals for their contributions to the community.

Good Neighbor Award

The Good Neighbor award is offered to a resident who is known for lending a helping hand, or identifying a need in the community and taking action to see that it is filled.

Leadership Awards

Philanthropic Awards

The Leadership award is in recognition of an individual’s contributions to the management of DC Ranch through service on a board, committee, or as a Neighborhood Voting Member (NVM). Two residents were recognized in this category.

The Philanthropic award recognizes a resident who volunteers for a community service project or creates a resident-led giving project. Three residents were recognized in this category.

Joe McGarr Joe McGarr has served on the Ranch Association Board of Directors as a director, and now treasurer for more than four years.

He also heads the Budget and Finance Committee. McGarr has helped keep the Association in strong financial standing by offering his time to oversee several budget procedures.

Pat Simpson Pat Simpson recently chaired the highly successful silent auction for Circle the City, a Valley-wide charity providing medical respite care to homeless families. With the help of her DC Ranch friends, she raised nearly $20,000 at the event.

Count on more.

Deep in a shantytown built in a Paraguayan landfill, where families survive by collecting and reselling garbage, some musical instruments are creating inspiration. Believe it or not, in Cateura, Paraguay, music is more prized than shelter; a violin can cost more than a house due to the coveted value of beauty that music brings to the culture.

In recent years, 36-year-old music teacher Favio Chávez gathered a team of students to search the landfill and create Music teacher Favio Chávez (far right) and students instruments—chellos, violins, and drums, in Catuera, a part of the travelling international instrumental museum, show off their makeshift to name a few—from recycled trash. The instruments which sound perfectly in tune to effort helped raise money and establish a traditional percussions. thriving music school and a youth orchestra that performs internationally.

“Their story represents the intrinsic need by people around the world to make music,” said Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) Curator Dr. Daniel Piper.

Recently, eight innovative instruments from the landfill went on display in the MIM’s Latin America gallery. Made with items such as metal coins, bottle caps, forks, plastic buttons, oil containers, and old x-ray film, these instruments prove that poverty doesn’t preclude a life rich with music.

“For thousands of years, music has driven innovation and creativity,” said Piper. “It led to the incredible variety of instruments we see at MIM, many of which are made with repurposed materials from everyday life.”

The youth orchestra is also the subject of a documentary called “Landfill Harmonic” by producers Alejandra Nash, Rodolfo Madero, Juliana Penaranda-Loftus, and Emmy-nominated director Graham Townsley. Because the orchestra’s story resonates so strongly with MIM’s mission—which is to enrich the world community by collecting, preserving, and making accessible high-quality musical instruments, images, and music from every country in the world—the “Landfill Harmonic” production team and the museum are now raising funds so the performers can see the MIM exhibit in person.

“Bringing these young musicians to MIM would be the culmination of a dream they couldn’t even imagine just a few years ago,” said Piper. “We are hoping to be able to bring them here within a year.”

To view the innovative recycled world instruments or to donate to help bring the Landfill Harmonic Orchestra to MIM, contact the museum at 480.478.6000.

On a Friday afternoon, it’s common to hear the chatter of Mahjong tiles coming from the lounge of the ladies’ locker room at The Country Club at DC Ranch.

It is here that Eileen Miller and her neighbors meet for their weekly games and catch up with one another.

“This has become a tradition for us to regroup on a regular basis,” said Miller. “The other ladies and I lead busy lives and we always look forward to Mahjong as our time to unwind and have some fun.”

As they set up the tiles, the ladies discussed plans for summer travel and wanted to know who was staying in town or leaving.

“Here at the Club, everyone knows everyone and we’re like a great big community,” explained fellow player and Country Club resident Denise Kelly.

“We share traditions like holidays here with the other families,” added Miller. “But we also form personal

friendships with small groups like our Mahjong club.”

Miller and her husband, Bill, have lived in Country Club village and been members at the Club for 14 years.

They recently moved a few blocks within the community to the Longhorn neighborhood where Eileen was elected as the Neighborhood Voting Member (NVM).

“The houses in the Longhorn neighborhood of the Country Club were some of the first to be built at DC Ranch. The home plots are large and the vegetation is mature which affords us and our neighbors a great deal of privacy,” said Miller. “When it comes to socializing, it’s easy for everyone to head over to the Club or community centers to meet friends old and new.”

Many of the residents in the Longhorn neighborhood have lived in DC Ranch since it was built, but most moved from other parts of the country. The Millers, for example, came to Arizona from Chicago. And the diversity of backgrounds has developed into a community for this Country Club enclave.

“So many of our neighbors are transplants from the Midwest or East Coast that we’ve created our own version of a family together,” said Miller. “The clubs and programs offered through The Country Club at DC Ranch and Community Council help us connect.

I’ve met so many people at Mahjong or Passport to Art events who I never knew lived right down the street. I may have never met them if it weren’t for all the community events.”

The Millers moved to DC Ranch in 1998 and formed strong ties within the community. Miller was an active volunteer for Heartstrings which served as the first

organization in DC Ranch to help raise money for local charities. The group raised thousands of dollars for organizations like Ryan House and HopeKids.

“There is a spirit of giving among residents in my neighborhood and other places that Bill and I have lived in DC Ranch,” said Miller. “People who have been here since the community was developed have established a legacy of service that I think resonates with new residents.”

Back at the Mahjong table, Miller, who now sits on the long-range planning committee for the Club, is working to ensure her friends and neighbors continue to enjoy the welcoming environment that has been established through community involvement.

“We have been very fortunate to travel all over the world, but each time I have looked forward to returning to DC Ranch, our home,” she said.
