Preston and Errol Quinn will also put on another rules seminar for the membership. Always a great learning experience for us golfers. February 9 is an ABCD game called Cupid's Choice. You can tell that this is a Valentine's theme, combining Hearts and Chocolates. What a great combo. I hope the chocolates are edible. February 16 is another ABCD game, this one called Pressure Cooker. You have to make some decisions here, whether to use just one net Best Ball or 2 on the previously played hole. Could be a little bit tricky. On the February 23, we will play another individual game, using the Stableford method of scoring. Wear your league colors this day.

WWII veteran to be “king” of Rotary club’s Mardi Gras A U.S. Navy veteran of World War II will be honored as “King” of the 2016 Mardi Gras celebration on Saturday, February 6. Ernest W. “Ernie” Shaffer, a 95-year-old resident of Oro Valley, will be recognized as Mardi Gras king by the sponsoring Dove Mountain Rotary Club.

The fundraising event for Rotary youth charities will feature New Orleans style cuisine and Dixieland and Cajun music from the Tucson Jazz Institute. Proceeds will support college scholar-ships as well as youth nutrition and literacy programs. Reservations for the Mardi Gras event are available through

any Dove Mountain Rotarian, or by calling Dave Seiller, 744

Shaffer was born in November 1920 in Johnstown, Pa., but at-tended school in Maumee, Ohio, before earning an electrical engineering degree from the University of Colorado. He attend-ed Naval Officer Indoctrination School at the University of Ari-zona and was commissioned in 1943. During the war he served as ship superintendent at the Norfolk, Va., Navy Yard, overseeing repairs on vessels as small as a PT boat to as large as an aircraft carrier. And later he served at Pan-ama City, Fla., as offer in charge of base maintenance functions. Shaffer’s civilian career as an electrical design engineer was with Convair aviation, later General Dynamics and now Raythe-on, retiring in 1980 and moving to Oro Valley in 1993. In 2011 he went on an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., with his daughter, Oro Valley resident Teree Bergman. Shaffer is a life-long woodworker, building fine furniture as well as hand-turned bowls. One of the latter will be available for auc-tion at the Mardi Gras event.

HIKING CLUB

With the January rain, many wildflowers are in bloom. Sig-nup for a hike with the Highland’s Hiking Club to see great vistas in the Tortolitas,

Catalinas, Madera Canyon and other locations. The club has changed our hiking year to end on December 31. As a result, the timing of some of our social events has changed. The annual Spring Picnic remains in March and is scheduled for St. Patrick’s Day, Thursday, March 17. We have reserved the Dove Mountain Park Pavilion, on Dove Mountain Boulevard. There will be hikes in the Tortolitas for all levels. The potluck picnic begins at 11:30am. Signup details will be in the March Highlander and March hiking schedule. Watch for information on a new Fall Kickoff social event to be scheduled in November. Finally, our next annual Hiking Dinner will be in January 2017. The club-house ballroom is reserved for Thursday, January 26, 2017. Each year we recognize the hiking milestones of our members. This year; 52 hikers earned the new Annual Mileage Award pin/button for 25+, 50+, 100+ or 200+ miles (see picture above), 21 hikers earned a 250 or 500 mileage rockers, we have 24 new members, and 228 hik-ers hiked 5,524 miles. Club members should check the Hiking Club website link “Club Member Hike Miles

and Awards 2015” to check their mileage and to see if they earned an award. Rockers and pin/buttons can be picked up at the HOA Clubhouse front desk. The winner of the January drawing for a $25 Highland’s gift card is… Marc Mason! Remember, all you have to do to be eligible for next month’s drawing is participate in at least one hike. Our hiking trip to Sedona, AZ, is planned for March 9-11. Accommodation, group dinner and hike infor-mation has been emailed to club members. It is also on the Hiking Club website. We have arranged a great room rate at the Arabella Sedona Hotel with moderate and easy hikes planned each day. Please join us. Summit Hut will hold a Hiking Club Appreciation Sales Event on Sunday March 6th from 5 to 7 pm at their Ora-cle store, 7745 N Oracle Rd. There will be discounts and refreshments for hiking club members.
