“As

I See It . . . ”

Thirst is a

Good Thing

“A wise man received a stream of visitors complaining about the same problems over and over again. One day, he decided to tell them a joke, and they all roared with laughter.

After a few minutes, he told them the same joke and only a few of them smiled.

He told the same joke a third time, but no one laughed or smiled anymore.

The wise man smiled and said: ‘You can’t laugh at the same joke over and over, so why lament the same problem over and over again?’“

Ÿ Health Benefits: Research suggests that positive thinking can lead to better health outcomes. When we focus on positive thoughts, our stress levels decrease, which in turn positively impacts our immune system and overall health.

Ÿ Improved Relationships: Positivity tends to attract people. When we approach others with a positive attitude, we create a more pleasant environment for everyone involved. Positive interactions strengthen relationships and build trust.

Ÿ Resilience: A positive mindset helps us bounce back from setbacks. Instead of dwelling on failures, we learn from them and move forward. Resilience is crucial for personal growth and overcoming challenges.

Ÿ Enhanced Creativity: Positive thinking encourages creativity and problem-solving. When we believe in our abilities and maintain an optimistic outlook, we’re more likely to come up with innovative solutions.

Moral of this story: FOCUS ON THE GOOD INSTEAD OF THE BAD AND ENJOY A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

What a wonderful and powerful message this is. I have never found that repeating how painful my big toe was, following my accidental banging into the chair leg, made the pain any less or go away any quicker. I have cried and mourned the loss of loved ones, but I have learned that it is not the mourning that lessens the pain of the loss, it is the gratitude and celebration of the life and memories of my loved one that turns the pain into eventual joy. Sure, we cannot laugh at the same joke indefinitely, but we can celebrate the blessings we have received from others forever and ever.

Being positive has several benefits, both for our mental well-being and our interactions with others. Here are some reasons why maintaining a positive outlook can be beneficial:

Ÿ Increased Productivity: Positivity boosts motivation and productivity. When we focus on the possibilities rather than the limitations, we’re more likely to take action and achieve our goals.

Ÿ Emotional Well-Being: Positive emotions contribute to happiness and life satisfaction. They also help counteract negative emotions like anxiety and depression.

Remember that being positive doesn’t mean ignoring reality or suppressing negative feelings. It’s about maintaining a balanced perspective and choosing to focus on the good whenever possible. Living in SCS really helps us enjoy a positive attitude with so much to do and so many great people around us to do things with. Today is a great time to “let the positive vibes in”!

The History of Labor Day You Might Not Know

Historically, humans have mused about what labor means for centuries from Aristotle, who said, “The end of labor is to gain leisure;” to Voltaire, who is quoted as saying, “Work keeps at bay three great evils – boredom, vice and need;” to the 19th Century Americans who created Labor Day to improve workers’ rights and to honor the U.S. employee.

So, how did this federal holiday come about? Who created it? And how has it evolved since its formal adoption in 1894? This article hopes to answer those questions and others you might have about Labor Day.

The U.S. was not the first country to think about the treatment of workers. In the 19th Century, May Day, customarily celebrated as a time to welcome in a new season, became an international workers’ day.

In 1872, the first Canadian Labour Day was created when printers in Toronto began lobbying for a shorter work week. Here, our Labor Day goes back to when the average American worked 12-hour days, seven days a week, and children, aged 5 to 6, worked in factories and mines.

Back in 1882, not only did workers look to improve their conditions, but also to honor the American worker. As Peter J. McGuire, General Secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, sought “A day to honor those who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.”

There is a question, historically, as to who should be credited for the origin of the holiday. Records show that McGuire, who also was a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, first suggested such a holiday. Other records seem to indicate that Matthew Maguire, a machinist with coincidentally the same name but different spelling, founded the holiday.

Matthew Maguire proposed the holiday in 1882, while serving as secretary for the Central Labor Union in New

York. In accordance with the Central Labor Union’s plans to recognize workers, the Union held its first Labor Day on Tuesday, September 5, 1882.

A movement was subsequently formed to move the holiday’s proposal through state legislation in New York. However, the first state to pass Labor Day as a law was Oregon on February 21, 1887. Four more states followed suit that year – Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. Connecticut, Nebraska and Pennsylvania then followed.

By 1894, 23 states joined in adopting the holiday, and on June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland, signed a law declaring the first Monday in September as Labor Day, a federal holiday.

In the beginning, parades and speeches organized in urban areas marked Labor Day’s tribute to the American worker. Today, the holiday is recognized with fewer parades and more activities. Families celebrate the value of labor and the workforce, and Labor Day weekend has become the unofficial reminder of the end of the summer season.

According to the U.S. government website on Labor Day, “The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom and leadership – the American worker.”

NATIONAL Gg D oeaoy l

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024

“It’s A Bird – It’s A Plane . . . It’s

GOOGLE”

September 15th is “National Google Day”. We all know the word – what more can I to say? Does it deserve a whole day? Perhaps maybe so. Where else do you go if you just want to ‘know’? It can be used as a noun, and it’s used as a verb.

“Just google it” is often a phrase we’ve all heard. There were days growing up to the library we’d go for homework assignments through rain, sleet, or snow. The Dewey Decimal System was something everyone knew as we scrolled through the cards we knew what to do. If lucky, an encyclopedia was home on a shelf –simply pull down a book and you’d find it yourself! From A through to Z, all the answers were there –and often we’d find some information to spare! Officially launched in 1998, with the click of our mouse, and mere seconds to wait... unless, for some reason, your computer would freeze, then you’re hitting the button, and you’re begging it, “PLEASE...”!

There’s a fountain of knowledge found line after line but which one to click? ... We sure could use a sign! Be it tablet or phone, all the answers are thereall you needed to know with info to spare. So, whatever the question, with the click of a mouse –we can find all the answers and not leave the house. The world has sure changed, for better or worse. Some say it’s a blessing, some say it’s a curse. While we’re too old for homework, our curious minds find us going to “Google” in hopes that we find all the answers to questions that now cloud our brain that lead to more questions and life isn’t the same. We’ll continue to “Google” – that’s what life has become. We sometimes just do it till our brains go numb! Are the answers all there – well, that’s not guaranteed. We just may not find everything that we need. So, as computers take over, it seems we are stuck ... will it always work out? Well, here’s wishing you luck!!

WHAT is NPT and WHY is it important to Sun City Summerlin?

Photos courtesy of Norman Wright, member of the HAM Club, Call Sign K7NOR.

The NEIGHBORHOOD PREPAREDNESS TEAM known as NPT since 2019 is a Sun City Summerlin Community Association, Inc. (SCSCAI) Chartered community organization, not a club. There are no dues or fees. Meetings are held the last Wednesday of the month at Desert Vista at 10 a.m. unless there is a special event scheduled. Its mission is to provide safety education to residents related to any disaster and crime prevention techniques through a partnership with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD). But NPT is more than disaster preparedness and crime prevention - it is about providing resources and information on topics such as fire safety, locking mailboxes, watching out for our neighbors, how to stay in our homes as we age, being an informed voter and so much more.

In 2022, NPT focused on crime prevention with LVMPD as there was an uptick in burglaries and even an attempted murder. Many of the previously formed Neighborhood Watch (NHW) groups had fallen apart during COVID-19. From July 2022 to March 2023, over 50 new NHW groups were formed. NPT began important NHW group orientation meetings with LVMPD. Residents get to know one another and connect while learning the importance of having the right tools in/on their homes to help reduce the incidence of burglaries. With these meetings, LVMPD ramped up its FREE “Home Security Site Surveys” for residents. These surveys identify weak points of entry and other potential issues around the home where a resident can easily make their home unattractive to criminals.

Captain talked about crime prevention and how electing the right judges in Clark County can play a role. LVMPD’s traffic division heard from concerned residents on traffic in Sun City Summerlin (SCS). The Director of the NV Department of Corrections presented the importance of a good prison system and how it affects our safety when offenders are released back into the community.

“Coffee with a Cop” was held in our Summit Restaurant where residents could informally talk with LVMPD officers about their concerns. CPR & AED training began for residents taught by a retired physician who is a SCS resident.

In 2024, our Ham Radio group presented emergency communications during a disaster, more fire safety info was presented including the importance of cleaning dryer vents which last year caused 17+ house fires in Las Vegas.

Together with the SCS Computer Club, the Criminal Investigations Division of the NV Secretary of State’s Office presented “Defending Your Money” to help stop scams of seniors. Since 2024 is an election year, NPT hosted events with the candidates for LV Mayor and Clark County Judicial candidates running in the primary. A moderator asked well-designed questions plus questions from residents. Last but not least, NPT hosts an outdoor party called Sun City Night Out to celebrate National Preparedness Month which is promoted each September by the Federal Emergency Management Agency “FEMA”.

2023 was a banner year for the new and improved NPT. A special community resource fair was launched to provide information and resources to residents to better enable them to age safely at home. Monthly meetings included: the importance of Ham Radio, disaster preparedness and tools homeowners need to be prepared, fire safety and the Clark County DA with the LVMPD

Sun City Night Out is an annual outdoor event that is fun and informative. Held behind Mountain Shadows, there are food trucks, a DJ, dancing & dance instruction and performances. Several community partners related to preparedness are in attendance like the Red Cross, City of LV Office of Emergency Management, CERT, LV Fires and LVMPD. During the event, the 1st annual NPT “Boss of the Toss” Cornhole Tournament was played with residents who are members of the HOA Board of Directors

as well as SCS Department Directors and Executive Director, Mitzi Mills who tossed the bags while wearing her trademark high heels. The winner, Jessie Miles, Director of the SCS Fitness Department was named “Boss of the Toss 2023”.

This year’s 2nd Annual Sun City Night Out is scheduled for September 27, 2024, with five food trucks, more community partners in safety education, special guests, dancing and dance performances, a DJ, and the 2nd Annual “Boss of the Toss” Cornhole Tournament.

The latest project for NPT is to write a disaster plan for Sun City Summerlin. We all learned the importance of having such a plan when the devastating wildfires destroyed the community of Lahaina in Hawaii and killed many residents. Would you like to volunteer with NPT to help you, your neighbors and the entire SCS community? Do you have skills, expertise or a desire to help keep our community safe? Volunteering can be something as simple as helping 1-2 hours at an

event or more involved such as serving on one of our committees. Do you want to start a Neighborhood Watch "NHW" near your home? Being a NHW Captain involves minimal time - welcome new neighbors, forward information to your watch members, and host a get-together such as a potluck or block party. Please contact NPT by phone at 702-482-8853 or email at nptvegas@gmail.com to let us know how you’d like to help.

Patriot Day, September 11th: A National Day Of Remembrance

Do you recall where you were on September 11, 2001? Most of us do. It was a beautiful autumn day; the sky was blue. Then tragedy struck and we watched the events unfold in disbelief.

Just as quickly as the terrible news rang around the world, we pulled together, stronger than ever. After all, we are Americans. Never underestimate our strength, resolve and determination.

On September 11, 2024, remember those innocent citizens of many nations who died and those brave first responders who valiantly fought to rescue them.

While we must forge ahead into the future with cautious optimism, let us Never forget that day and those who paid the ultimate price with their lives.

Honor and Remember the Fallen. Stand United as a Great Nation under God.

Honoring Residents Corner: Arlene Goodman

I grew up on the west side of Chicago, went to Marshall High School and attended Wright Junior College. One of three siblings, I am the middle child; six years younger than my older brother and nine years older than my younger brother (who I helped raise). At one time, both of my brothers lived in Las Vegas.

I met my husband Fred in Chicago by way of a computer dating service called: “Dateline Electronics”. It was started by two women who had college graduate daughters who could not find husbands. Unbeknownst to me, my younger brother filled out the application and asked me for the $7 needed to submit my profile. I received in the mail a list of 2-4 names of men who were compatible with my profile. The second date was with my future husband, Fred. He was not much of a talker, but after we went to the movie and finished dinner, I said to Fred “I am going to marry you.” He was stunned by my remark. We continued dating for five years. I was

divorced at the time and had a daughter, Brenda, who bonded with Fred. Brenda would ask Fred: “When are you going to marry us?” (He was attending night school to become a CPA.) At the time, Fred worked for the IRS as an accountant. Fred became a CPA and became a Lead Field Auditor.

I finally told Fred “I am either going to buy a house or go to Israel.” He said ‘Ok, go ahead and buy a house.” I did. I worked in real estate at the time for MGM Realty in Skokie as Office Manager and opened and managed three offices. Fred went to D.C. on a work assignment. When Fred returned home, he proposed, and we were married in 1971.Fred went on to adopt Brenda as his own daughter. They shared a very special bond. Together, Fred and I had three children.

I had always been involved in volunteering. One of our sons, named Neil, is handicapped. Prior to his birth, I was active with the Freda K. Stone Heart Fund, La Rabida Children’s Hospital, Knights of Columbus and The Lions Club. When Neil was born and diagnosed as handicapped, I became active in the Glenkirk Association for the Retarded. I started a fashion show where the handicapped children modeled. To their parents’ surprise, the children blossomed on stage. I chaired the show for five years naming it Lollipops and Roses, growing the show from 100 in attendance to almost 400. Neil moved to Misericordia Home in Chicago, and I became active as a member of the Board, organizing fund raisers.

Fred and I relocated to Las Vegas in June of 1992 (after our son Mark graduated high school). A few years later, we moved to Sun City Summerlin where I became active in Bet Knesset Bamidbar (BKB). Our son Mark attended UNLV. Brenda and her family subsequently moved to Las Vegas. I worked at the Orleans Hotel & Casino for 14 years in Food Service in the Arena and at MGM for six years (before COVID-19).

Here in our community, I served on the Properties Committee. I also started the Chicago Club, was the first president (now called: Chicago/Midwest Club) and am still a member.

I joined the Temple in 1993 and was president from 1997 to 2000. Since, I served on the Board of BKB in different capacities. Currently, I am once again president of the Temple. I am also a member of the Pan Club.

Fred and I were married 52 years (Fred passed last June). I have to say, “By far, our move to Sun City Summerlin was the BEST decision we ever made! There are so many great clubs and wonderful people.”

SUNCITYSUMMERLINPATROL

Impressed With SCS Patrol!

Hi Mom,

Just a quick text to say how much fun the kids had at Sun City Summerlin last weekend. Ken and I are so impressed that you found such a wonderful retirement community.

Morning Jane, Your Dad and I are very excited to be here. We’ve met some great neighbors and found a couple of clubs to join.

I saw the local patrol cars going by at least three or four times during the day. Can’t believe those are all volunteers.

Now please, don’t forget to fill out that emergency contact sheet! You can put in our information, but remember to also use one of your neighbors to keep your key in case of emergency.

Say, why don’t you and Dad look into helping with that group. Seems like great folks and they certainly get plenty of training.

I know! What a service to the folks here. That office and phone is available 24/7 which means we are never alone.

We would enjoy that! Will check it today. Love you all. Mom
