New Fitness Trainer and Trainer Hours Mark Swartz is the new Fitness Trainer

for Sunland Springs Village. He replaces Larry Woodruff who started with us exactly a year ago, but recently resigned. Mark has 30 years of experience in coaching and fitness training in secondary and higher educational institutions. He has a strong background developing programs to improve individual fitness.

Mark will be in the Springwood Fitness Center the first Tuesday and the third Thursday of the month from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Stop in and say hello. I am sure you will learn something.First Service Residential

Two months ago, I announced that your HOA management company and the company I work for, Rossmar & Graham changed its name to First Service Residential. I thought I would follow that up with an explanation of what First Service Residential does for you and for the fee you pay it.

Answering service – First Service Residential provides a 24/7 answering service. You have many options if you have an HOA emergency such as the swimming pool is cold. During regular office hours Monday to Friday call me at 480-354-8758. Between the hours of 5:00 PM and 5:00 AM, call Security at 602-434-0940. You can also call the First Service Residential emergency number between 5:00 PM and 8:00 AM weekdays and all day on weekends: 602-336-2700. Of course, if you suspect a police emergency, call 911 before calling any of the other numbers.

Management services – That is all of us in the office and our maintenance crew. Our full time employees are Janet West, Activities Director, Victor Rojas, maintenance, and me. We have three part time Administrative Assistants, Karen Bulkley, Ginny Gray and

Paper RecyclingA Word from the Communications Committee

Home Security Begins With YouBy Ed Leahy, Chairman, Security Committee

Meet Mark SwartzFitness Trainer Extraordinaire

Jane Harrel and two part time maintenance persons, Dan Collins and Dean Evers.

Contract management – Periodically we put the HOA’s major contracts out for bid: Landscaping, Security, Propane, and Janitorial. We also have many small, short-term contracts. For example, we will be refinishing the auditorium floors in September.

Accounts Receivable – This department receives your assessments and places them in your account. It also researches late payments, making corrections where needed and assesses late fees if appropriate. We also provide Collections Services, but we have just a handful every year needing those services.

Accounts Payable – This department pays the bills incurred by Sunland Springs Village. It makes one check run a week, which is really quite remarkable, considering that somewhere approximately 8,000 checks a month are processed by First Service Residential. Our vendors are happy with the service they get from this department.

Financial Services – Provides monthly and annual financial reports. Prepares annual budgets and manages the budget after approval by the Board. Researches bank issues and other problems that inevitably occur. Provides all financial records and a comfortable workstation for the independent auditors who review our books every year.

Transfers & Disclosures – When you sell your house or condominium, information must be supplied to the title company for a smooth transfer of ownership. After closing, the title company sends First Service Residential information so that our records can be properly updated.

I am proud to work for First Service Residential. If you have any questions or issues with us, let me know by phone, email, or stop by and see me.

Common symptoms include swelling, skin discoloration, varicose veins, skin ulcers and legs that ache, burn, throb or cramp. He will be in the Superstition Room on Thursday, September 12, at 10:00 AM. Please sign up in the Activities Office. This is a FREE presentation.

More FREE stuff . . .. . . from Mountain Vista. James

Prohaska, RN Director will be providing FREE blood pressure checks and Stroke Risk Assessments on Friday, September 20, in the Majestic Card Room from 10:00 AM to 12 Noon.

Rancho de Tia Rosa . . .. . . is the place to be on Wednesday,

September 25 for the September Ladies Luncheon. You will be able to order off their full menu. You do need to sign up and pay a $5 reservation deposit in the Activities Office. Deposit is refunded at check in. (See flyer on page 6)

Weight Watchers’ . . .. . . Introductory Meeting is happening

on Wednesday, October 2, at 7:00 PM in the Superstition Room. Check out the flyer on page 6 for details. If you are planning to attend this meeting, please sign up in the Activities Office as soon as possible.

Obviously, it is in your interest to do your best to protect your property and to take active steps to make your home as secure as possible, so it follows that you are your own best security provider.

Of course, having security devices and other common sense measures are useful steps to take, security doors add one more barrier that a potential intruder has to deal with and slowing them down. Porch lighting with sensors can light up entryways, and light is a proven barrier to crime. But there are other steps you can take, like keeping garage doors closed, not leaving an unlocked car in your driveway at any time, or valuables in your car in plain view even if you car is locked.

More importantly, when you belong to a

Neighborhood Watch, you and your neighbors can look out for each other--especially when either of you are away from home. You can take promotional door hangers off doors or pick up and hide the many telephone books we get all the time. That way a thief will not get an obvious signal you are not home. Finally, be sure to belong to a Mesa Police Neighborhood Watch. To join call Karen Stegenga, Mesa Police Crime Prevention Officer at 480-644-5014 or e-mail her at [email protected]

Doing these simple things can help keep SSV a low crime area. How will you know it is working? Little or nothing problematic will continue to happen.

By: Dick SimmonLet us all remember to bring our

newspapers, junk mail, used computer paper, flattened cardboard, etc., to the RECYCLING BIN between the HOA Office and the Auditorium.

There are over 2,000 homeowners here producing a lot of waste paper that could be recycled. This is an easy and painless way to procure more funds to spend on Sunland Springs improvements.

LET’S ALL PITCH IN THE BIN

By: Jane E. Harrel, EditorWe have a new Fitness

Orientation/Trainer by the name of Mark Swartz. Mark retired for the second time last May as a football coach and weight trainer. He coached and taught at three Mesa high schools for many years.

He originally retired in 2009 to take care of his elderly parents, but they are both gone now, so he came out of retirement to coach for Queen Creek HS for a year.

Mark is a native of Mesa, Arizona,

married, with two grown daughters, and a son who is a senior in college in Colorado. He has earned many certifications some of which are: CSCS, NSCA-CPT. He has others, so be sure to ask him what the rest of the alphabet soup is.

His days at SSV will be the first Tuesday and third Thursday from 9:00 to 11:00 AM ONLY in the Springwood Fitness Center. You may make an appointment with him outside of these hours for a small charge. He has some great ideas on how we seniors can stay fit in only ten minutes a day – like getting up from a chair without using your arms to push; it is all about keeping your torso muscles fit.


Village SnapshotsED LEAHY

By: Nan Miller, Asst. EditorPhoto Provided by Ed Leahy

Ed Leahy moved to SSV in 2001, and from 2002-2004 served on the first HOA Advisory Board. He has also been a member of the Recreation Facilities Committee (2003-2005), Communications Committee (2005-2009), and currently is Security Committee Chairman.

Ed was born and raised in Westchester County, New York.

After graduating from Syracuse University in 1959 with a BFA in advertising design, he served three years in the U.S. Army as a helicopter pilot. Ultimately, he settled in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, where he lived until 1992. Ed had two careers simultaneously - advertising and teaching.

He was a member of the Madison Avenue firm of BBDO for 15 years and left as a Creative Supervisor and Vice Presi-dent. At BBDO, he created advertising for General Electric Lighting, Citibank, Scott Paper, and Campbell Soup.

An Arizona resident since 1997, Ed has strong interests in baseball, travel, history, and videography. He organized and produced a pitching seminar featuring Jim “Catfish” Hunter. In 1995, he traveled to Ireland with relatives to explore family roots. On that and successive trips, he shot and produced a video about the experience which aired on PBS in Central New York. His next video project is “Famous and Otherwise Places” on destinations to which he and his wife, Rita, traveled. He has been married for 16 years to Rita, an Escrow Officer in Mesa.

MEL AND JEAN EICHHORSTBy: Nan Miller, Assistant Editor Photo by Dick Lund

Arizona residents since 1968, Mel and Jean Eichhorst moved to SSV in August 2000. The Eichhorsts were two of the eight people who formed the tennis club and joined the East Valley Tennis League. They were in charge of

starting and running the Mixed Doubles Tennis Tournaments its first four years. They both said unanimously, “We could not have done it without all the great help.” They also helped start the Chapel with Jean serving as treasurer and singing in the choir while Mel was head usher.

Avid travelers, they started enjoying other cultures when Mel was drafted into the Army in 1953. He was stationed in Heidelberg, Germany, for two years. Jean joined him there. Later, Mel graduated from the University of Omaha with a degree in Human Resources.

Mel was a manager in customer support for Garrett, which is now part of Honeywell. Jean was office manager for a development company. During their working years, they did a lot of RV camping. When they retired, they trav-eled in their motorhome for six months visiting all states east of the Mississippi and the Canadian Maritime provinces. Later they spent six months a year for six years enjoying a summer home on Lake Winnipeg. Days were filled with playing tennis, gardening, and sitting on the beach.

At SSV, Jean has been in charge of the Ladies’ Luncheon for the month of October for 13 years. They are both active in the Photo Club. Jean teams up with Jim Palfini to teach Beginner and Intermediate Photoshop editing classes through the Computer Club. Mel still enjoys playing tennis.

Travel remains an active pursuit, and they have visited approximately 38 countries and ALL the states. This October they will be cruising to Hawaii and Australia to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary.

PAT AND BRUCE MILLERBy: Nan Miller, Assistant Editor

Pat and Bruce Miller have been active in their community since they moved to SSV from North Central Phoenix in 2008. You will find Pat volunteering in the off ice Tuesdays and occasionally attending Women’s Luncheons. She has served as Vice

President of Programs for the Computer Club since 2012 and Education Coordinator prior to that. Bruce was treasurer of the Computer Club from 2010 to 2012 and treasurer of Karaoke since 2012. They are also assistant Block Watch Captains and performed in the Talent Show skits for 2013. Both help neighbors with computer issues such as networking and software.

Sunland Springs VillageHomeowners Association

Minutes of the MeetingSuperstition RoomJuly 23, 2013

The meeting was called to order by John Lippert, Manager of the Homeowners Association, at 9:30 AM, in the Superstition Room.

He reviewed the financial statement for the month ended June 30, 2013, which had previously been distributed to the audience. He noted that the Operating Account totaled $638,044 while the expenses are $672,690. He further stated that landscaping expenses were under budget, new computers have been installed in the Activities Office, the wrought iron fence along Baseline has been repaired, and new benches for Shuffleboard have been purchased but to be installed later.

The summer painting jobs of the Ball Park, Dog Park, Springwood Pool fence, Snack Shacks at the Tennis Courts, Activities Office, and the fence along Baseline and Signal Butte. All work was done by Tom the Painter for $6,000.

To deter skateboarders from riding the handrails at the softball field, metal balls were welded to the rails and then painted.

The telescoping screen and projector have been installed in the San Tan Center. There will be a training of representatives of the Computer, Karaoke, and Photo Clubs. The funds for these items are from the Village Enhancement Fund.

Acoustical tiles will be installed in San Tan along the east and south walls. Karaoke Club will contribute $1,000 to the $4,000 cost of the tiles, cornices and installation.

New benches for the Shuffleboard courts have been received and will be installed later by Resident Ron Neuman and a group working with the Boys and Girls Club in Apache Junction. The old benches will be repurposed as seating at a ballpark.

The seat cushions in the Billiards Room were replaced. Resident Vera Reuer did the upholstering. The total cost was $1,800.

We purchased 20,000 gallons of propane at $1.55, and then bought 30,000 gallons more from Aero Propane for $1.49. We hope to have 20,000 gallons going into 2014.

The company name Rossmar & Graham has been changed to First Service Residential effective June 27, 2013. All 18 companies owned by this firm are now all under this name. There should be no impact on the homeowners.

Opening the floor to questions, a resident reported that the garbage cans in the Dog Park have not been emptied. Mr. Lippert stated he met with New Creations and that will be done today.

Can the Dog Park be overseeded? This matter has been discussed many times, and it cannot be done due to the cost.

It was also reported that some people were still smoking at the San Tan pools. Mr. Lippert stated he would make sure that no smoking signs are posted.

The flowerbeds at Guadalupe and Signal Butte are not attractive. What can be done? Mr. Lippert stated that New Creations would be removing the annual flowers and planting red lantanas. When the lantanas freeze, they will be trimmed down and petunias planted for the winter. The lantanas will reemerge and not be affected by the summer heat, nor do they need as much water as flowers do.

Mr. Decker stated that only one sale was made in July 2012, but this year there were four. Last year 78 homes had sold but in 2013 only 74 because there are no more Town Homes built. They are starting the models soon for completion by the end of the year. The roads will be in soon and you will be able to drive through the area. He also stated that the resale homes are going well as they are available.

There being no further business to come before the Association, the meeting was adjourned at 9:52 AM.

Respectfully submitted,Jane E. HarrelRecording Secretary

Arizona EncountersBy Linda McAteer

The Collins On-line Dictionary defines “resident” as “a bird or other animal that does not migrate.” A “rounder” is defined as a “habitual drunkard or wastrel,” at least in the 16th Century usage anyway. Many other meanings of rounder have been used over the centuries such as: “a Methodist minister with no parish, who makes the rounds of far-flung rural communities.” As a year-round resident, I probably lie somewhere between these two definitions, closer to one or the other according to circumstance.

When I first wrote for the Village Voice, I was a new, full time resident. Oh, I had lived in Arizona before, once was back in the mid 1980’s, and I was a part-time resident then too. When I began living here as a Townhome resident, the usual question for a newcomer was whether you lived here year-round or just in the winter. Year-round was shortened to rounder, and we never

gave it a thought.I’ve been working on the new HOA

web site since an injury has taken me off the tennis courts. This project brought me into contact with people I would not have met otherwise, and I have met many fascinating people as a result. One encounter led to a conversation about living in the Valley of the Sun all year. A woman, who is married to a born-and-raised Arizonan, told me that she had lived here many years. They con-sider themselves residents of Arizona, not rounders, which they equate with someone who is staying here – for now. Her explana-tion made me see the light. Those of us who live here all year and do not leave during the summer are “residents” – we don’t migrate and this is our home.

There are many remarkable Arizona residents here in SSV, and I have been lucky enough to meet a few. They make me look forward to my next Arizona Encounter.

Springs Chapel, a non-denominational, Bible-based ministry, offers Sunland Springs Village residents a community worship service each Sunday at 9:00 AM in the SSV Auditorium, except for the month of September when Springs Chapel services will be held at the San Tan Center. Pastor Anthony Bryant and Pastor Lanny Barringer serve as Springs Chapel pastors. Pastor Barringer will be serving as pastor for the month of September. Following worship services, attendees are invited to stay for fellowship with friends and neighbors and enjoy complimentary rolls and coffee. Communion is offered the first Sunday of each month. Services continue throughout the summer months.

Springs Chapel activities include a mixed choir, men’s and woman’s breakfasts, and Christian women’s reading groups, as well as several special events. However, there are no choir practices or choir performances during the summer months. Chapel men and women’s groups meet once a month on

a Thursday morning. You may contact Bud Dighton at 480-380-7733 and Julia Hoon at 509-679-8009 for information on times and places for the breakfasts. The women’s reading group will continue to meet during the summer months. For information about times, places, and reading materials for the women’s reading group, contact Sylvia Hansen at 480-984-4347.

Springs Chapel invites everyone to attend its services and participate in its activities. Residence in Sunland Springs Village is not a requirement for attendance – everyone is welcome to attend regardless of place of residence.

1 Peter 5: 10-11: Jesus is our Promise, Strength, and Validation! God called us to eternal glory, but we must never think of ourselves as equal with God. Rather, we are to humble ourselves, whatever comes into our lives--strife, adversity, goodness, or riches. We are to accept God’s hand. Otherwise, Satan will have his hand upon us!

By: Ardella BurtmanA community Bible

study is held every Friday morning at 9:00 AM in the Springs Card Room. The Bi-ble study continues through-

out the summer months.The Bible study is open to anyone who

wishes to attend and is not restricted solely to residents of Sunland Springs Village. This is an interdenominational study, open to men and women. There is no charge and no book to buy – the Bible is the study guide with use of commentaries by trusted Christian writers. Bring any translation of the Bible you prefer to use.

The Bible study for the summer months

has been the book of I Samuel, and we have now moved on to a study of II Samuel taught by Sylvia Hansen. When Pastor Tom Weitzel arrives in Arizona, estimated to be sometime in October, he will lead a study of a New Testament book.

You are invited to join the Bible study group for its Friday studies. Obviously, for various reasons, not everyone can attend every Friday, and even though there is some building of content one session on the next, in a sense, each session stands alone.

If you have any questions about the Bible study, please call Ardella Burtman at 480.993.3102.

By: JoAnn McCurdyWeight Watchers of Arizona will be

presenting an “Introductory Meeting” to SSV on Wednesday, October 2 at 7:00 PM in the Superstition Room. They will provide an overview of their program and answer your questions. Weight Watchers requires a minimum of 20 people at this meeting.

In order for SSV to become a weekly meeting site, we must have 20 paid Weight Watcher memberships. You will be able to register and pay for either their 10-week or

monthly program at the October 2 meeting. If the WW’s requirements are met, weekly meetings will begin on Wednesday, October 9 at 6:45 PM in the Superstition Room.

Sign up in the Activities Office or email JoAnn McCurdy at [email protected] for the October 2 meeting.

We have all done a lot of talking about losing weight and had many excuses. Now we have the chance to stop the excuses, have some fun and lose weight with friends and neighbors close to home!

By: Jim RyanThere is possibly more activity than we

would ever have reason to suspect going on in the Little Park. Most of the action happens out of the realm of the occasional passerby. For most of us human creatures, it is none of our business what is transpiring in this miniature jungle. Be assured though that there is a plan. Life goes on and the food chain must be maintained. It is eat or be eaten and propagate whenever.

Some of these creatures are so small their legs cannot be seen even through a magnifying glass, and we can safely assume that they are not pest free themselves. So where does it end? Or does this look like a search for the beginning?

The resident species are limited by the capacity of the land to support them. Other visitors are either predators, like coyotes,

javelina, fox, and owl and possibly, but rarely, a chance visit by the poisonous lizard called Gila monster. He is pretty, in a gruesome way, but do not mess with him or that other local menace the rattlesnake.

Therefore, survival in this place of beauty is up to the ingenuity of each individual creature and forget we not that it also depends on that rare but natural supply of water from the Arizona sky.

The smaller the creature the more numerous they are, so keep this in mind as you make your way through that little gem by Monte Circle called “The Little Park That Is”.

By: Dick PaulinOur residents here

at Sunland Springs Vil-lage have always re-sponded when asked to get involved in a variety of

charitable events. The summer of 2007 was one of those times when we decided to start saving pull tabs for the Ronald McDonald House in Phoenix. Our Janet thought it would be nice to save a “ton of tabs.” We thought that was a nice goal not knowing how many tabs it would take to make a ton.

It took us until October, 2012, to collect our ton (2,534,000) of tabs. We have decided

to continue to collect tabs until there are no children in the hospital. So congratulations to all of you who have been turning in your tabs as we have now reached another milestone. Our current total is 3,000,887 tabs!!!

Also, don’t forget the article from the Au-gust issue, “Straight from the Heart” where we will be collecting household cleaning products and personal products that we will deliver to the new House being built at Cardon Children’s Hospital in Mesa at Dobson and Southern. It is expected to open by the end of the year.

The Ladies Luncheon this month will be on September 25, 2013. We will be dining at the newest Tia Rosa’s Restaurant located at Higley and Baseline. We will be able to order off the menu and pay separately. Lunch will be at 11:30 AM. Reservations close on Sep-

tember 23 at Noon. A deposit of $5 is required and will be refunded when you check-in at the courtyard at 11:00 AM.

Hope to see you there. If you have ques-tions, call Karen Paulin at 480-221-6282.

Vagabond Club NewsBy: Judith and Wayne Konz Terra Travel 480-984-5782 [email protected]

As you read this article, we will still be on our Cancun holiday and, of course, we will be planning some exciting things for your upcoming travel.

The Vagabonds had a glorious trip to Alaska in July. We saw hundreds of hump-back whales, had wonderful warm weather and calm seas, and we saw Mt. McKinley without a cloud in the sky! We hope that you can join us on our next adventure.

We will be sailing on the Golden Princess next April 1 to the beautiful islands of Hawaii, Tahiti and Samoa for 29 days. Enjoy relaxing days onboard the ship. Visit the Arizona Me-morial in Honolulu. Snorkel in Maui. Visit Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. Travel the road to Hana on Maui. View the

fantastic scenery and see the dancers of Tahiti. Visit some different islands in Samoa. We will take a motorcoach to Los Angeles for this wonderful voyage.

In June, we have two wonderful cruises on the Azamara Journey. The crew on this 670-passenger ship will spoil you. Enjoy included cocktails in all the bars, wine and beer with lunch and dinner, all specialty cof-fees, teas and bottled water. One Azamazing evening excursion is also included as well as gratuities. On June 14, we will sail to the Norwegian Fjords and the North Cape and on June 28, we will sail to the Baltic Sea enjoying ports in Germany, Denmark, Poland, Estonia, Russia, Finland and Sweden. Contact us for more details.

By: Doris HavelkaOur August Karaoke Party was fun with

new faces joining our group along with many regular members. We had fun singing in groups, but we also had some new soloists. We look forward to hearing them again. After the party, many of us went for a refreshing dip in the pool where the camaraderie continued. It is a great way to meet new residents and for them to get to see some of the fun things going on in the village.

We are looking forward to the Septem-ber Karaoke Party to test out the new sound baffles. The installation of the baffles will

help improve the sound quality in the San Tan Center. Those Baffles cost $4,500, and we are proud to say we paid $1,000 towards the project that will benefit all who use that room.

October Karaoke will be held October 4 at 7 PM in the San Tan Center, so come join us. Karaoke parties are on the first Friday of each month. The third annual Halloween Spooktacular Dance will be on October 27. The Fairlane’s will be playing all your favor-ite oldies music, and prizes will be given for funniest, scariest and most original costumes! Costumes are optional.

By: Mary BurkeWe are very excited about the addition of

a new glass kiln! It is available for use by both the Ceramics Club as well as the Stain Glass/Lapidary group. We are planning classes in the fall, which will allow us to make use of this new kiln to include glass jewelry and glass fusion, as well as combination ceramic and glass pieces. Working with glass is fun and the results are beautiful!

Beginning in October look for classes including:

1. Clay building projects, where we create an object such as flowers or a bowl from slabs of clay;

2. Horsehair technique, where we use actual horse hair and apply it to very hot bisque to create a unique effect;

3. In addition, specialty glazed objects.

The ceramics group gets together year round and, while our numbers are fewer over the summer months, we continue to see new people joining us. Though we are not offer-ing formal classes until October, we offer assistance for any technique you would like to learn. We hold open sessions in the Four Peaks Room on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. In addition to a yearly membership fee, a very modest session fee of $2.00 gives you access to all supplies and firings.

Examples of our work and the current class schedule can be seen in the Four Peaks Room. For additional information, please contact JoAnne Chapin at 480-380-2302.

By: Jane Harrel, PresidentWell, here we are at the end of summer,

and thank goodness, the humid days are over. I was hotter when it was 99 than when it was 110 or higher.

We will be changing our routine this coming season. We will not have business meetings the first week of the month except for October, February and March (election and installation of officers), so that frees up the first week to have presentations, or the very successful one-on-one help sessions.

The second week we will still have AzACC speakers if they are of interest to the group, but mostly we have scheduled our favorite speakers like Bob Samson and SOS. Even Steve Heyer might be persuaded to give us some wisdom.

The third week will be reserved for the iThree Team to help you with your “i“ devices. If you do not have an iPhone or a Mac comput-er, we will still have small group discussion

for those of us stuck in the Microsoft world.The fourth week will be for a Club

member to instruct us on things like social networking, phone/computer etiquette, Skype, etc.

Here is your assignment: Go to ssvcc.com on the internet, which will take you to the Club’s very own website. On the left side of the window, click on “Calendar” and review what we have scheduled so far for you. Some people have been working very hard to bring in exciting speakers and topics for you. While you are there, click on the link to the new HOA website ssvhoa.com. It has been greatly improved, and we have our own residents now in charge of the content. Be sure you bookmark these two sites because you will refer to them many times.

Enjoy the rest of the summer wherever you are. Looking forward to a new and ex-citing year in the Computer Club; hope you are as well.

Writers’ ClubBy: Nan Miller

Are you looking for a new activity to try this fall? Do you want an excuse to get out of the house? Or perhaps meet some ter-rific people? Why not check out the Writers’ Club. They meet the first and third Thursdays of every month from 10:00 AM to noon in the Summit Card Room. This month they will assemble on September 5 and 19.

The group ranges from beginners to pub-lished novelists, fiction to non-fiction writers, even those working on their life stories. If you are currently composing an article or chapter, bring it along. If you want a critique, supply copies to receive comments. Usually, there is an assignment we prepare and read in class.

If time allows, there is an exercise on craft improvement. If you just want to listen, that is okay too.

On December 7, the Club will hold “Meet the Authors.” Those who have participated in this group for a minimum of two meetings in 2013 will sell their published books. Writers’ Club has planned door prizes, refreshments, presentations by our authors, and book sign-ings. This free event is offered to all residents of SSV and their guests.

If you want more details about the group, call Nan Miller at (480) 984-1852. Hope to see you at our meetings.


Sports

Superstition Senior Mixed Bowling League

Ladies 18 Hole Golf

By: Karen HaifleyWe are coming to the end of another great

summer of golfing! We have certainly had a good time and enjoyed beautiful Arizona mornings. Thanks to everyone who has made these past few months such memorable ones. A special note of appreciation goes to Marilyn Falk for scheduling all of our luncheons.

We close our 2013 summer remembering good times on the course with lots of good shots, poor shots, stories and laughs.

Our winter golfers will begin trickling back soon, and we welcome them for our upcoming season. See you on the links!

PickleballBy: Karen Copeland

Do you know what the fastest growing sport in the U.S. is? If you guessed Pickleball, you are right! Pickleball has grown from a family activity to a net court sport with formalized rules and strategies. It is currently being played in thousands of educational institutions, parks, recreation centers, country clubs, correctional facilities, corporate fitness centers, health clubs, senior centers, and on multi-purpose courts at family residences.

Strategy is of utmost importance in the game. Here are a few more strategies to add to last month’s list:

Be in the ready position, on the balls of your feet, when the opponent’s paddle contacts the ball. This is not the time to be moving. Never sacrifice being ready for positioning.

Hit the ball with your weight going toward the net.

Shot placement, patience and tactics have a far greater importance than brute power and strength.

Punch the volleys and swing at the ground strokes.

Come to the San Tan Rec Center courts and try this game. Fran will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding Pickleball. Contact her at [email protected] or call Roy at 480-772-6482. Also, check us out at ssvhoa.com/pickle-ball.

YogaBy: Christine K. Marcus

During the month of September when the floors in the Audito-rium are being cleaned, the YOGA classes will be held in the San Tan Center on Wednesday mornings. YOGA in

September will be held at the usual time, meet at 8:30 AM for set up and sign in, class at 8:45 - 10:00 AM; cost is $3.50. Come join us and start your journey to YOGA.

You will be pleased at the many benefits YOGA has to offer. Participants are encouraged to develop proper alignment in the poses (asanas) and cultivate a calm mind. Each class ends with a relaxation time.

According to B. K. S. Iyengar, “Yoga is a friend to those who embrace it sincerely and totally. Yoga helps to keep one’s body and mind in tune with the essence of the soul.” B. K. S. Iyengar is the world’s most revered living teacher of YOGA, and the first person to bring YOGA to the western world.

Join us for class on Wednesday mornings at 8:30 AM. Enter through the east door to the San Tan Center complex. YOGA is done barefoot. Wear clothes to move in easily. Come start your journey into YOGA at SSV.

Questions? Call Chris, 480-986-6092.

Tai Chi Summer Workshop

By: Bob JelleyA Tai Chi workshop is being held in the

The workshop is held on Mondays and Fridays from 7:00 to 8:00 AM. It will run through the summer and fall months until regular classes, held in the auditorium, resume in November. There is no charge to attend.

New and continuing students are invited to participate. The workshop will be con-ducted by Bob Jelley. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing.

“Fun in the Sun” SSV Golfers In Minnesota

Submitted by Paul Leber

This photo was sent to me by Betty and Arild Hagberg. It was taken on Monday, Au-gust 12th at Jackpot Junction, Morton, MN. The group is a part of the “Fun In The Sun” golf group from SSV. They had dinner at the John Palmer farm not far from there on Sunday evening, played golf Monday at the Dakota Ridge Golf Course followed by dinner there. The following day some of them played another round of golf at the golf course in Redwood Falls, MN, not far from Morton.

The women from left to right are: Ruth Ann Schauer, Elaine Palmer, Mae Tonsfeldt, Nancy Lund, Louise Sonnenburg, Joyce Fry, Betty Hagberg, Joyce Larson, Jane Gilbertson, Shirley Pary, Darla Martin, Bev Peterson and Kathy Olmscheid.

The men from left to right are: Curt Sonnenburg, John Palmer, Dean Tonsfeldt, John Lund, Duane Schauer, Arild Hagberg, Dick Fry, Joe Gilbertson, Dan Larson, Rich Olmscheid, Jim Pary, John Martin and Wayne Peterson.

I wanted to congratulate all the members of the local softball team that won the Senior National Olympic games in Ohio this week (August 5, 2013). There were nine teams that qualified

for the tournament by winning their State tournaments. Our team was undefeated in the tournament and brought home the Gold

medal. The winning team had three SSV residents on it.

Jerry Mason is an SSV resident and coach of our top SSV team, the Rebels, Bruce Stricklett and Joe Ricci. All of these guys are pretty good tennis players as well. Great job gentlemen.
