Variable Annuities Basics A closer look at a long-popular option

Provided by Kevin Humphrey

Variable annuities are being reintroduced to a broader audience. These tax-deferred savings vehicles are getting a second look – a new look – from pre-retirees and retirees who want more income for their futures.

All annuities have things in common. An annuity is a contract between you and a life insurance company that promises you life-long income in exchange for a lump sum payment or series of payments to the in-surer. The income arrives in periodic pay-ments, either at once (an immediate annuity) or in the future (a deferred annuity, which also offers you tax-deferred growth of assets inside it).

The limitations of a fixed annuity. In a fixed annuity, your money grows at a fixed rate. At first that kind of financial predictabil-ity sounds wonderful, but there are two prob-lems that come with it. One, your rate of return might be meager compared to what you could earn in the stock market. Two, inflation is going to make that fixed return worth less and less with the passing years, unless you pay (possibly through the teeth) to have the rate of return adjusted.

The variable annuity difference. In a vari-able annuity, you may direct part of your contributions to mutual fund-like subac-counts. The assets in a subaccount may be allocated across a mix of stocks, bonds and money market funds. The payout stream of the annuity reflects the performance of the

subaccounts. Some variable annuities are called index annuities, because they are keyed to the performance of a major stock index, such as the S&P 500. (Incidentally, administrative fees on variable annuities can be lower than those charged on fee-based accounts or mutual funds.)

The strengths of a variable annuity. Many variable annuities let you benefit from stock market gains while shielding you against stock market losses. In the past, many have offered the annuity holder at least a minimum rate of return (a GMIB, or Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit). Many have also offered guarantees that the annuity value will not dip below the value of the initial principal ( a GMAB, or Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit).

In addition to “living benefits” of this sort, variable annuities don’t have contribution limits like a 401(k) or an IRA – you can pour as much money as you want into one. You also aren’t required to take money out at age 70 1/2 , as with a traditional IRA.

Also, variable annuity assets aren’t simply poured into an insurance company’s general fund (as is often the case with fixed annuity). That’s useful if the insurance company hits a financial snag – you don’t want them divert-ing or borrowing your money for some other use. (However, the “living benefits” on a variable annuity are usually paid from an insurer’s general account.) Variable annui-ties are SEC – regulated.

Interesting Options. As they are insurance products, variable annuities can include or be structured to include GMIBs, GMAB’s,

long term care insurance options and even bonus credits, in which the insurer adds a small percentage bonus to an contributions you make to the annuity. An impressive 96% of variable annuities sold in 2008 in-cluded guaranteed life benefits of some kind.

There is naturally an insurance benefit: should you die before the annuitization phase begins (that is, before you start re-ceiving income from the annuity), your des-ignated beneficiary is guaranteed to receive the dollar value of what you have contrib-uted to the annuity, or some guaranteed minimum (sometimes defined as all prior purchase payments made with any prior withdrawals subtracted).

1035 exchanges. Did you know you can do a tax free exchange with a variable annuity? You can exchange one variable annuity for another annuity that offers you a bigger death benefit, more options or better guar-anteed growth for income streams. But you might have to pay surrender charges on the old variable annuity if the surrender charge period hasn’t expired.

If you’d like to know more about the top insti-tutions who provide variable annuities that have not had their rating lowered through this tough recession, give me a call or email me any questions you may have.

Tennis CourtsThe Tennis Courts are a

premier amenity at Sunland Springs Village. The courts are in good shape, especially courts 3 – 6 which were recently resurfaced. And the courts are heavily used. That’s important because it means that people are hav-ing fun using them, and the people who use them have an interest in maintaining them.

The Sunland Springs Village Tennis Club provides the high level of organization a successful tennis program demands. The Club orga-

nizes the tennis events that provide the needed structure for the players. These include league play, league practice, open tennis, social tennis and others. Members of the club clean the courts, pick up gar-bage, keep the bulletin boards tidy, help me supervise main-tenance projects and schedule court usage.

This is not to say that the Tennis Courts belong to the Tennis Club. As with all HOA facilities, the Tennis Courts are managed, maintained and controlled by HOA manage-ment under the direction of

the Sunland Springs Village Board of Directors. However, we have delegated much of the management of the Ten-nis Courts to the Tennis Club because it has the expertise, manpower and the time and interest to do a topnotch job. And the Tennis Club has will-ingly followed HOA manage-ment direction.

As a former tennis play-er, I believe you get the most out of the sport by being a member of the Tennis Club. But you do not have to be a Tennis Club member to use the courts. The courts are

available to all residents. The best way to make sure you can get a court is to sign up in advance. Just put your name on the sign-up sheet on the Tennis Court bulletin board.

There are always at least two courts available for sign-up at all times with one and only one exception: The Tennis Club may use all of the courts during League Play.

Winter LawnsNewcomers to the Val-

ley are often surprised to see brown turf in the wintertime even though the daytime temperatures are beautiful and the nighttime temperatures are usually far above freez-ing. Then they are further surprised to learn that we have two kinds of grass, a summer grass that is green in the sum-mer and a winter grass that is

green in the winter.Bermuda grass is the per-

manent sod that is laid on the HOA properties and on the Golf Course. It is green throughout the summer and begins to go dormant (turn brown) when the nighttime temperatures are consistently below about 62 de-grees. It greens up again in the spring when the temperatures warm up.

Rye grass seed can be sown on top of the dormant Bermuda sod to provide a lush green lawn during the winter months. The process is called overseeding and is expensive. Many HOA’s and private residences choose not to do this. Sunland Springs Village overseeds the small lawns at the two entrances and at the Auditorium and the lawns at all the condos. It does not overseed the Dog Park.

The Ball Park is over-seeded, but the labor and the cost of materials including water are supplied by the Softball Club, not the HOA. The club has been doing this since the park was built, and they have done a good job of it.

The transition between summer and winter lawns can take three or four weeks and be a little ugly. The landscap-ers encourage early dormancy of the Bermuda by turning off the sprinklers. Then after a week or two they scalp the Bermuda and sow the rye grass seed and begin heavy watering. Within seven to 10 days you see the rye grass growing and then it just gets thicker and nicer looking. The process starts in late September and runs through October.

OF HOPEPastor Milt

The Creator God, who made the heavens, the earth and all that is within them, also made a world wide dec-laration in Psalm 33: 12: “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord.”

If you happen to visit our nation’s capital you will note the many inscriptions attributed to God and writ-ten on most of our national monuments. America takes pride in our nation’s exercise of freedom gained by men and women who shed their

blood and bare inflictions in their bodies to defend our freedoms. We proudly give honor to God for these faithful citizens of our de-fense. Americans love to sing the song that expresses our faith in God. “God Bless America” is a national prayer that is descriptive of whom we are.

However one complex-ity exists in America today. If God is taken out of national affairs and man made laws without regard to His law, how can we expect God to bless America? God has also declared in Proverbs 14:34: “Righteousness exalts a na-tion, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” What is that sin? It is the sin of disobedi-ence to His law written in His guidebook, called the “Holy

Bible”. Tuesday, November 3,

Arizonians will be given the privilege to exercise a God-given freedom, that of voting on major issues. If you love the country you have lived in, regardless of your means of expression in faith, vote your convictions that will exalt the God of Eternity.

You are warmly wel-comed to join your neighbors and friends in worship each Sunday morning at Springs Chapel, a non-denomina-tional worship ministry. We meet in the Auditorium at 9 AM. Messages from the Bible, music that thrills the soul and fellowship following each worship hour will bless your lives. Exercise your God-given freedom and be blessed.

VILLAGE VOICESMarilyn Donnelley

We hope one and all had an enjoyable summer and stayed healthy and well.Are you ready to sing? Dee has prepared a musical

plan for our Christmas Concert (which includes input from chorus members). Practice begins Monday, October 5, from 3:15 - 5 PM, and Friday, October 9, from l0:15 AM – Noon, in the Auditorium.

If you like to sing, come join the Village Voices. We offer vitamin F (friendship and fun). Also, singing is food for the soul.

If you have any questions, contact Dee Rabjohn, Director, at 354-4900.

AssociationMonthly MeetingAugust 25, 2009

Superstition RoomThe meeting was called to order by John Lippert, Manager

of the HOA through Rossmar & Graham, at 9:37 a.m. after distributing to the audience a copy of the Master Associa-tion financial report for the period ended July 31, 2009. Jeff Decker, Vice President of the Master Association Board of Directors and Farnsworth Homes, attended with Jane Harrel as recording secretary.

In reviewing the financial report, Mr. Lippert drew at-tention to the Assets, noting the Activity Account, which has been reduced to $57,720 because of the transfer to the Village Enhancement Fund and a $20,000 reserve for the picnic park at the dog park. The negative $470 in the Maintenance Fee was due to a bounced check. Over all, the expenses are run-ning under budget. He also noted that Cox Communications is raising its rates from $11.97 to $13.17 per unit per month a ten percent (10%) increase.

Mr. Decker reported that the fencing at the picnic park is out for bid, and it will cost approximately $10,000 based on the one bid already received.

The Softball Park had requested a platform be built in front of the snack shack where people gather. This will require a retaining wall and ramp with a railing to be built to ensure safety. Farnsworth Construction was the low bidder at $4,900 and the Softball Club will pitch in $500 of that amount.

A resident had sent to Mr. Lippert a news story about Phoenix recycling grocery store plastic bags dispensers in their dog parks around the city. The woodshop can build a dispenser out of PVC. He also noted that since January 2008, the HOA has spent $1,300 in plastic bags for disposing of dog waste.

The search for a backup maintenance man has been filled from right here in the community by Danny Collins. He and Terry work well together and have already finished the project of cleaning the pool lounges and chairs.

Continuing with his management report, he reported:• The tree trimming has been completed at a cost of less than $8,000. This project was supervised by Jeff Decker and come in at a lower price than anticipated.• The shade cover behind home plate at the Softball Park was repaired under warranty. • Terry’s garage was again treated for a termite infestation.• There were some parking violations in the past month, but only a few landscaping violations for weeds were noted.

Questions, comments, and concerns from the audience followed:• The HOA Board decided not to install netting in the rafters at the entrance to the auditorium, and to continue having Terry clean the area.• With regard to the lack of swans in the front ponds, Mr. Decker reported that the swans were donated. A coyote got one, the babies flew away, and the last one died of old age.

Mr. Decker reported that July 2009 was the hottest and driest on record, and it has made the grass on the golf course hard to maintain. Now it is time to start the fall change to Bermuda seed by scalping the grass, and dropping new seed on October 1. An ant problem on San Tan Greens 3 and 4 was questioned, and Mr. Decker reported that the crews were spraying every green.

There being no further business to come before the As-sociation, the meeting adjourned at 9:53 a.m.Respectfully submitted, Jane E. Harrel, Recording Secretary

Around the Village

Greg TroneBy Jane E. Harrel

Many of you have not met our new Fitness Center trainer, Greg Trone, so permit me to make the introductions:

Greg grew up in Maryland, ob-tained his undergraduate degree from the University of Northern Carolina at Wilmington and his PhD from Arizona State University in May 2005. He is on the faculty of Chandler Gilbert Commu-nity College teaching Exercise Science, Health Education and a Therapy Mas-sage program. He credits his dad with his early love of the outdoors as they rode bikes and hiked. He played all sports in his growing up years, but when he got to college, he discovered the science of physical fitness and exercise.

Greg is surprisingly a man of average stature rather than the “Mr. Uni-verse” physique. He and his wife Karen are expecting their first child in late Octo-ber. He thinks it will be a girl and she’s betting on a boy; in any regard, the child will be a happy and healthy baby.

Greg is very passionate about educating our youth (maybe even you) about the benefits of exercise and eating right. “We need to take a proactive and preventative stance with our bodies when we are young,” he says, “so that we’ll have healthy bodies enabling us to live long lives.”

“Don’t believe those infomercials,” he continues. “You won’t end up looking like those models only doing exercises three days a week for twenty minutes. You can’t take acai berry and colon cleanse pills and expect to lose 20 pounds magically.” It takes education, exercise and fewer calories. That is Greg’s goal.

How do you get started? In our Fit-ness Center there are two rooms full of equipment to help you — one for cardio and the other for toning and strengthen-ing. The cardio room overlooks the

pools with a menagerie of machines all of which look foreboding to the untrained eye. There are five treadmills, eight cardio bikes, six steppers, one hand bike, a rower and an assisted stretching “cage” (see picture) that looks like a small base-ball backstop.

How much time should be put in? Greg quotes the Surgeon General: “Thirty minutes of moderate to heavy

cardio everyday. Five days a week is good, six is better, but seven days keeps you going.” He can show you how to

work all the machines, and there are plenty in the Center. Most other com-munities have only enough room and equipment for two or three people to exercise at a time. Our equipment is safe and easy to use.

If you are a golfer, a tennis player or need spot reduction, such as your upper arms or thighs, Greg is your man. The human body is never too old

to strengthen and lift up those trouble spots. He can show you which machines in the weight room will help you. The

machines in this room were even more unrecognizable. There is a Cybex Cable machine with interchangeable devices to use for the upper body toning. It looked like the perfect place for a hanging.

If you have heart disease or diabe-tes, he can work up a schedule that will help you. You can lose weight but still have an unhealthy body if the cardiovas-cular system is not working well. Best way to cut 500 calories a day is to reduce portions, change from whole to skim milk, use a butter or margarine spray rather than a pat or two of butter, go for light ice cream or fat free. You would have to walk on a treadmill an hour and a half to burn 500 calories.

Greg delights in educating all and debunks the myths on the informercials. He will work with you one-on-one in the privacy of your own home, go for a walk, or tell you the machines that would be best for you to use in your home. However, if you catch him on the first Thursday or third Tuesday of the month between 9 and 11 a.m., he will teach you how to use the machines in the Fitness Center in air conditioned comfort.

MachineEmbroidery

GroupMarilyn Clark

It soon will be that time of year when we start thinking of meetings, interest groups and classes. On October 22 the Machine Embroidery Group will hold a meeting in the San Tan Room at 9:30 AM for those interested in the world of machine embroidery. We would hope those attending will bring ideas to the table as to what they are interested in as well as showing what they have done over the summer – possibly showing new techniques to the group.

During our meetings we will be discussing fabrics, stabilizers, mark-ers, design placement, embroidery sites, software and all that goes with embroidery. It will not be necessary to bring your machine unless you want to. This year we will be meeting every Thursday morning in the San Tan Room from 9:30 AM to Noon. For those of you who have embroidery machines and have not joined us, please come and be a part of our group. Beginners are most welcome.

If you have any questions, call Mari-lyn Clark at 380-0376.

VILLAGE QUILtERSBarbara Pointer

Last spring, the Needlecrafters and the Village Quilters voted unanimously to be consolidated under the auspices of the Textile Arts Center. We reorganized our officers, but still have coordinators for the two main clubs. Both the Needlecrafters and the Village Quilters still have their own meetings, agendas and classes.

Classes for the Village Quilters will start the first part of November. Barbara Pointer will be teaching “Everything but the kitchen sink”. It is a scrappy strip quilt.

November 28 – Joanie Baronti will have an orientation for the “Circle Quilt.”December 19 - at 9:00 AM will be the orientation for the Crazy Pillow and at 10:30 AM will be the orientation for the next

“Mystery Quilt.” Classes for this orientation won’t begin until after the first of the year and any classes can be made up.Rita Vautrin will again be teaching the beginner’s quilting class. It will start in January 2010. Also, Rita will teach a class,

“Quilting with a Walking Foot,” this fall.At this writing, the Needlecrafters didn’t respond with correspondence. I’m sure that they’ll have LOTS to say next month.

Usually, their classes don’t begin until the first of the year.

CeramicsJoAnne Chapin

It’s been a busy summer in Ceramics. Items that have been completed for the fall raffle include a Christmas Village created by Dan Collins that makes you ready to go caroling. Other raffle items include a foun-tain that will dress up your patio table, and a southwest designed vase to compliment your pot shelves. The items are on display in the Four Peaks Room. Tickets will be on sale beginning October 1 in the Four Peaks Room and at Coffee Time.

Kay Allen rolled clay, cut out a fish wind chime and decorated it. Other members have spent the summer working on new technique: Layering paints to create depth in decorating pieces, horsehair, sponging to make unique designs, rolling and cutting clay, making individual items and learning about different products to develop individual talents.

All residents are welcome to join in the fun of Ceramics. We meet on Mondays from 6 - 9 PM, and Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9 AM - Noon. All classes are in the Four Peaks Room. On Thursday mornings we have an instructor, Denise Ross.

If you have any questions, just drop in during class hours or give JoAnne Chapin a call at 480-380-2302.

Clubs and ActivitiesSummer Survivors’

Luau PartyBy Jane E. Harrel

The annual Summer Survivors Party was held in the SSV Auditorium on Thursday August 27. Janet West opened the evening telling us that this was the 10th year that we have celebrated Summer Survivors, but only one couple, Mary Lou and Byrd Clark, have been to all ten events. We then dined on a beautifully decorated and scrumptious cheesecake with a fruit compote side tastefully decorated by Bob Shields, one of our very own residents. Jeff Decker of Farnsworth Homes and John Lippert, HOA Manager, were there to distribute a bottle of water to all who passed the beverage table. Many thanks to the crew of volunteers that helped Bob in the kitchen, set up, decorated and stayed for clean up—another community effort well done.

From the islands of Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga and the great isle of Apache Junction, the Tia Royal Islanders brought us beautiful hula dancers, male Tongan dancers and a fire dancer (yes, it was real fire). It was a delightful hour of music, laughs and entertainment.

The lovely hula dancers were the daughter and grand-daughters of the leaders of the group, Tia and Melody. The women all had beautiful, waist-length hair, and the 15-year-old granddaughter had recently won a Tahitian dance competition in California up against dancers from all over the world. The fire dancer was thrilling to watch as he threw, twirled and passed that larger than a baton through, under and around his legs and body.

Five of our lady residents were enticed up on the stage to learn the hula, and they were all excellent. Later in the show four gentlemen from the community were led to the stage and performed. The competition was declared a tie with all the men receiving a score of 9.95, so there was no Hummer given away that night, but they can visit the island of AJ any time they want.

LET’S GET A NEW SEASON START-ED!! Yup, it’s October already and time for our weekly meetings to commence. We are looking forward to our returning snowbird friends as well as our faithful rounders. We’ve had a great time this summer, capping it off with a field trip to the Phoenix-Mesa Williams Gateway Airport.

October is also the beginning of our fiscal year, so that means dues will be payable. Currently the dues are $10, but this may change when the Club has its first general (business) meeting. Again, we will complete a member-ship form because things in our lives do change – especially with the ever-improving electronics available.

Our Program Committee has been working hard to line up speakers and presentations for us for the whole season. Our season will commence October 7 with a general and informational meeting. October 14 will be a presentation from Red Seven, red7usa.com, through AZACC. On October

21, Steve Heyer, Stevethecomputerguy.com, will speak on Protecting Your Computer. Steve, as you may know, is a resident of SSV and is always ready to answer the computer questions put out on the Forum. Chris Hayes

from Soft Que will be here on October 28. Classes scheduled already for November

are Beginning Photo Editing on the 10th and 13th, and Intermediate on the 17th and 20th. Each session is $5 and you must be a member of the Club. This is a very popular class taught

by Jean Eichhorst and Jim Palfini, so be ready to sign up early.

Classes are very important to all of us, but in order to teach you, we need to know what you want to learn. Is it the Internet? Email?

Word 2007? Excel and spreadsheets? We have some very knowledgeable people in our club who can help; we just need to know what you want to practice.

Please mark your calendars for Wednesday each week to come to the Computer Club meetings in the Superstition Room at 10 AM. We’re looking forward to seeing you.

Karaoke Party!

Monica Rae SteinWe missed some of our regulars

who were cruising to Alaska, but we had visitors who gave us some great performances. Ivan started the evening with “Hey Baby.” Friends Bob and Pat Jones ‘surprised’ us by tagging along with Fred and Lois Stauffer. Bob sang crowd favorite “I Left Something Turned On at Home” followed by Monica with “Send in the Clowns.” Gene Cate enticed Kathy Mitchell and Judi Ofelt to join him for “Bye Bye Love” and return visitor Linda Ramirez gave us all “Sweet Dreams.” The girls were up with “Mr. Sandman” and

Ivan entertained with “The Wan-derer.” The guys were “Takin’ Care of Business” and Bob sang about the “Long Black Train.” Linda wanted to “Hit Me with Your Best Shot” and Monica and Bob joined voices for “I Fall to Pieces.” Ivan sang “You Got It,” the girls sang “Yesterday” and Linda gave “Physical” a good try. She redeemed herself with flying colors later with “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” Bob and Ivan duo’d on “Mountain Music” and then Ivan was on a roll with “Who Put the Bomp” and “Rama Lama Ding Dong.” They just don’t write songs like that anymore!

Gene, Judi and Roy Brandli gave one hilarious performance of “Leavin’ on a Jet Plane” ala Peter, Paul and Mary. Judi was laughing

so hard while being sandwiched, she could hardly sing. Ivan had two requests for “Chantilly Lace” and obliged his fans and was joined by Monica for “Build Me Up But-tercup.” Ivan and Bob sang “Elvira” for the line dancers and the girls sang “It’s My Party.” Bob sang about “My Next 30 Years” and we ended the evening with “God Bless the USA.”

October 9 is our next party in the Superstition Room from 7 - 9 PM. Guests of residents are always welcome. Admission is only $1 at the door and you can bring your own drinks and a snack to share. Wednes-day, November 11 is our Veteran’s Day Potluck in the Auditorium. Tickets will be on sale in the Activi-ties Office beginning October 19.

Softball Spotlight

Linda “Scooter” Granzow, Coordinator of Team Promotion, SSV Softball Club

Now that October’s here, the SSV Softball Club is gearing up for Men’s Fall League Play and a full slate of fall/winter events. We still want to remind our fans/supporters that the Softball Club continues sales of soda pop and snacks at all Thursday evening

Bingo games, beginning when Auditorium doors open around 5:30 PM and ending after inter-mission.

Proceeds raised for the Soft-ball Club treasury are used toward Softball Field upgrades and major on-going improvements. Your generous assistance to make our varied fundraisers successful is greatly appreciated throughout the year!

Speaking of fundraisers, this season we plan to reprise our se-ries of Pancake Breakfasts and our

Hamburger Feast. We will also conduct our third annual Commu-nity Fun Day in mid-November. Stay tuned for all of the available, pertinent details next month.

Thanks continue to current Softball Club Board members Larry Selear and Dave Chase (pre-viously mentioned in an earlier ar-ticle). Larry and Dave have been in charge of the aforementioned major fundraisers for a couple of years running and have graciously agreed to do so once again in 2009-2010. Additional kudos to

Larry, Pete Corr, Joe Fellhauer, Dave Boik, Fred Loux and Dick Paulin for summer “storage shed” work.

Open practices for SSV resi-dents/Softball Club members/au-thorized guests are set for 7 AM Saturdays at the SSV Softball Field till further notice. We also continue to recruit women for the SSV Scorpions (ladies’) team; practices will commence in the fall and league play runs January through early March. If interested, please contact Manager Patti

Finney at 982-7747 for details.We are publicizing our field

usage policy for SSV residents/homeowners’ and their guests only (not applicable for organized teams not authorized/recognized by the SSV Softball Club). Resi-dents who wish to reserve the Softball Field for their personal use should call Joe Fellhauer at 835-6052 for reservations. Res-ervations are available on a non-interference basis with existing teams’ practice schedules.
