The month of April not only brings spring, but a plethora of
events which are good and bad, depending on whom you ask:
Tax Day, April Fool’s Day, and MLB Opening Day. In addition
we have many religious holidays and dedicated awareness ob-
servations such as Financial Literacy Month, Poetry Month and
Volunteer Month; which reminds me that, the Scottsdale Shad-
ows Library is still looking for volunteers.
It has been a very busy past couple of months and we’ve had
some changes to the RCI board.
RCI Meeting
For those residents who could not attend the last RCI meeting,
new officers were elected on March 15, 2016. I would like to
take this opportunity to thank both Shirley Waldvogel, the for-
mer President of RCI, and Jack Terry, the former Vice Presi-
dent of RCI, dating back to 2014. It was a pleasure and an
honor to work with two board members that cared so much
about the community and its residents.
I would like to congratulate your new RCI Board members;
Bret Zahn, President of Scottsdale Shadows IV, is now also
the President of RCI. Fernando Daluiso, Treasurer of Scotts-
dale Shadows I, is now also the Vice-President of RCI. Bill
Katz, President of Scottsdale Shadows I, remains as RCI’s
Treasurer and Secretary. I would like to welcome the new of-
ficers and look forward to working closely with them to keep
Scottsdale Shadows a community that you, the residents, can
call home.

Pools
The new umbrellas for Pool 2 and Pool 3
should be arriving shortly; if not already here by
the time you read this article. The on-site work
for Pool 2 will not take place until later in the
spring as final preparations are being made.
Replacement parts for pool 3 have been or-
dered from the original manufacture of the
dome and should be arriving this month. Pool
3 will be closed a couple of days for the instal-
lation of new panels. RCI will provide notice, at
minimum, one week ahead of time before clos-
ing the pool.
Golf Course
Landscaping is currently working on changing
the location of certain sprinkler heads around
the golf course. In some cases they are adding
sprinklers to cover additional surface area that
was previously deficient; along with adding
more Bermuda seed within the putting greens.
There were some residents whom were asking
if there was a pipe leak by hole #3 on the
sloped area by Building 26. The pipes are all in
working condition. The excessive amount of
water that you see from time to time is due to
the boiler drain pipes from Building 26. When
the property was originally built they construct-
ed the building’s boiler pipe to egress in that
particular area by the golf course. So, unfortu-
nately it is not something that we can control
but it only occurs on a limited basis and for the
most part the water stays at the base of the
slope.
RCI Audit
Butler /Hansen will be conducting RCI’s audit
again this year. They were on-site in March for
a couple of days and have another couple of
weeks before they return with our results.
Once this is completed, RCI will hold a meeting
to discuss their findings. As always, residents
are encouraged to attend. I will work on putting
together an explanation on how RCI functions
in relation to residents and members and how it
all works together to form the community.
City of Scottsdale Information
City information is just a phone call away by
dialing 480-312-3111. The city’s information
line connects you with live operators who know
about event, traffic and meeting information, or
they’ll connect you to the right people for fur-
ther assistance. The line is open from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and for special
events as publicized. So the next time you
have a question about the city, dial the city in-
formation line: 480-312-3111.
In Conclusion
I am sad to say that Mike Caponetto, RCI’s for-
mer President and Scottsdale Shadows V for-
mer President passed away in late March. He
was RCI’s President from 2008 to 2012. How-
ever, he served on Regime V’s board long be-
fore that. He will be deeply missed. Mike had
a wonderful sense of humor and was just a
good person. Ironically enough if Mike wasn’t
jokingly throwing “metaphorical’ jabs at you he
didn’t like you, but I don’t know if I ever knew
someone he didn’t like. I had the privilege of
getting to know Mike Caponetto as a friend, not
just as the RCI President, and I took away
many valuable lessons from our conversations
which I will always cherish.
Have a wonderful month of April!
Sincerely,
Ramiro Wong, CMCA, AMS

Resident Patricia L. Brooks (Bldg. 29) launched her second memoir Three
Husbands and a Thousand Boyfriends in January 2016. This book shares her story of
love addiction, domestic violence and post-traumatic stress. She converses regularly on
these critical topics with law enforcement, victim’s advocates, university students,
church communities and other interested parties seeking recovery and information in
these vital areas.
While her friends danced and partied at Woodstock, Patricia donned her first wed-
ding dress. This poignant and moving memoir follows Patricia’s dangerous journey
while offering her raw reflections and conversations with God and a glimpse into the
heartbreaking chaos she survived. For every woman who has followed her heart in-
stead of her head, Patricia’s story offers hope and inspiration.
Patricia created the highly successful Scottsdale Society of Women Writers over ten years ago and continues to
serve as its president. She is also a member of the Arizona Authors Association, the Phoenix Writers Club, the
Willamette Writers, the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence and the Women’s Association of
Addiction Treatment.
As founder of Brooks Goldmann Publishing Company, LLC, with her husband Earl, Patricia serves as a publishing
consultant. Her first memoir is entitled Gifts of Sisterhood - journey from grief to gratitude. Patricia earned a pres-
tigious Arizona Authors Association Literary Contest Non-fiction award for this work.
Patricia has lived in Arizona 40 years, but her heart is still in Michigan at the Straits of Mackinac where she grew
up. She has been happily married to Earl L. Goldmann for over 10 years. They have lived in Scottsdale Shadows
for 14 years and share their love of reading, foreign films and good food. She is currently writing her third memoir
honoring her spiritual transformation.
Patricia has been an adjunct faculty associate at Arizona State University, W. P. Carry
School of Business. She has a Masters Degree in Organizational Management, the Ad-
vanced Toastmasters designation and has been named to Who’s Who Among America’s
Teachers.

Patricia takes the reader on her healing journey from fear to self-love and trust in God. Anyone who knows the
destruction addiction causes can gain hope, insight and strength from reading her book. Elisabeth Davies,
MC, Author of Good Things Emotional Healing Journal: Addiction
Brooks' sharing of her most intimate story with the world can only bring light and hope to the reader. I applaud
Patricia for her courage to help others, men and women alike. Barbara Nicholson-Brown, Founder, Art of
Recovery Expo and Publisher, Together AZ newspaper
