From the Executive Director
The Link Provides Information; It's
Residents' Responsibility to Read It
As executive director, I also enjoy the title of editor in chief of the
Link, our wonderful community magazine. I am lucky to have an
experienced, professional and caring managing editor in Jeannette Carrillo, since I am not a great writer and I know little
about publishing and magazines. I do know that we have an everSue Papilion, SCSCAI improving magazine that residents enjoy and should refer to
Executive Director
every day.
Lately, there has been much discussion worldwide about what is printed and freedom of the press. at is not an issue here in Sun City Summerlin because “ e
primary mission of the Link is to provide unbiased communication and to inform residents of community news, events and services. e Link is our community’s oﬃcial
newsletter to all owners, as it includes board of director elections, by-law changes, voting procedures and all legally required board and nancial reporting. e goals of the
Link are available in SCSCAI Policy and Procedures at www.scscai.com.
Besides referring to the monthly calendar and social activities, residents enjoy interesting stories about neighbors, friends and clubs. And, of course, there is advertising
that our local businesses buy to get their messages to you. ese ads pay for the Link
and make the magazine pro table, but SCSCAI does not endorse or promote any of
the products or services advertised.
e Link will continue to improve and have even more interesting articles and as
you know, current articles, and new important information is available at
www.suncitylink.com. e website has new updated information on Tuesdays, but the
long-term goal is to have it updated every weekday!
e Link provides the information; it is your responsibility to read it!

President’s Message
A Little Thank You Goes a Long Way for a Job Well Done
e dedicated members of the Security
Patrol serve our community 24/7, 365
days a year.
We take for granted that this group
of volunteers will always be at or near
any crime scene or malicious incident.
David Steinman,
Although a few Patrol oﬃcers may apPresident, SCSCAI
Board of Directors pear at these events, covering these hardand proud member core issues is the responsibility of the
of Security Patrol
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department/Clark County Sheriﬀ ’s oﬃce.
women of the Security Patrol for their presence on our
streets, 24/7!
Behind the Patrol division is a group of men and women
who serve as dispatchers, information center oﬃcers and
other miscellaneous positions. e Patrol is headed by its
chief, Judy Hunt, and the other oﬃcers of the Patrol board.
Many of the volunteers put in 20 or more hours per week.
When a resident joins the Patrol, he or she is asked to give
a minimum of four hours per week.
Recently, the Community Preparedness Committee
(CPC) was divided into two parts. One section provides the
Your Security Patrol is here to assist homeowners with
situations that do not require “the use of force,” and turn
out to be everyday items such as lost pets, garage doors that
are left open, water leaks, inability to nd a resident in his
home, providing security to all of the Association buildings,
checking out strange vehicles and/or persons who appear to
be lost in our community and many other tasks requested
by residents.
Having been a member of the Patrol for nearly 14 years,
I am familiar with the good our volunteers achieve and the
outstanding work they do for our community and its residents. Year after year, Metro has cited the low crime rate in
Sun City Summerlin and given full credit to the men and
educational component of the committee; the other section
is the on-site management of a disaster in our community
prior to the arrival of professional rst-responders. e
Security Patrol has been designated the rst-responder once
an emergency situation has been declared. is will be
directed by the chief of the Patrol and the watch commanders, using the scheduled drivers and dispatchers plus any personnel that can be called in to assist.
e next time you have contact with Patrol members,
thank them for their time and service, which makes this a
rst-class community. e Patrol has served Sun City for 25
years. Your Association provides most of the funding for the
Patrol. It costs each household about $10 per year for Patrol
services. Now that is a real bargain!

Community Standards
ARC Approves Wall-Top Rollers
To Discourage Coyotes
e population of coyotes in Sun City Summerlin is a consequence of available water and an abundance of small animals
in the community. In the Southwest, most coyotes exist in
areas of relatively low precipitation, and they thrive in communities where no wildlife predators threaten their existence.
A coyote can jump over a 6-foot-high wall and be in a
back yard in mere seconds. Accordingly, it may appear as
though the animal jumped completely over the wall without touching it. In fact, the jump consists of two phases: the
leap to grab hold of the top of the wall followed by the spring
to landing. e Coyote Roller interferes with the jump by
making it impossible for the animal to grab the top of the
wall because of the spinning roller. Denied traction, the coyote loses footing and winds up falling back down.
Coyote rollers are intended as a homeowner-installed
system. It may be necessary, however, to modify a section of
a roller to make it perfectly t the length of a wall. is is
done by removing the bushings from one end and using a
power saw, or a standard hacksaw, to trim the roller to the
proper length. en, reinsert the bushing. e suggested
height of your wall should be approximately 6 feet.
An Internet search of coyote deterrent rollers will access
numerous sites providing comprehensive information, including videos and photographs. Estimated costs of rollers range
from $25 for a 4-foot section to $150 for a 24-foot-long wall.
A wall-topped roller system oﬀers an aesthetically sensible coyote deterrent that has been approved by the Architectural Review Committee. Before installing rollers atop a wall
for the purpose of keeping animals out of a property, a resident must submit an application to the Community Standards Oﬃce. For approval, the application should designate
the height and length of the wall, method of attachment
and desired color. According to ARC, the rollers are to be
painted or powder-coated to match walls or fences.
e Community Standards oﬃce is located at Mountain
Shadows, and is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday. Call 966-1411.

New Pool Furniture
Arrives at Mountain
Shadows
Have you noticed the new pool furniture at the Mountain Shadows
outdoor pool? Look for the bright
and bold splashes of blues, aquas
and greens that are spread throughout the pool area.
At the end of last summer a sur- Kristie McWhorter,
MS, CPT, GFI,
vey was conducted at the Mountain Director of Fitness
Shadows tness center asking resi- [email protected]
dents to provide their opinion on a [email protected]
variety of samples of pool furniture.
In total, 128 residents lled out surveys. One of the main
questions was whether residents preferred the cushions on
top of strap pool furniture or the newer style of a sling material. More than 62 percent of resident surveys indicated a
preference for the sling material, mostly for sanitary reasons.
Residents stated that cushions get too dirty from all the use
and are diﬃcult to clean. e new sling lounges and chairs
are very easy to clean on a regular basis.
Other requested furniture features included arms for the
lounges to assist residents in getting up; a lighter frame
color to “hopefully” ensure that the chairs wouldn’t get as
hot as the darker framed ones; a higher seat height for the
lounges to help ease getting up and down; and wheels on
the lounges for easy movement.
Finding lounges and chairs to t the criteria was a timeconsuming eﬀort, and I hope residents will be pleased with
the new furniture and enjoy the relaxing and tranquil atmosphere we’ve tried to create at the Mountain Shadows outdoor pool this summer.

SCSCAI Fitness Assistant Heather Jahanbin, right,
explains how to properly use the seated leg press to residents, from left, Tina Carvelli, and Lloyd and Rosemary
Williams during an equipment orientation class at the
Pinnacle fitness center.
“Form is the most important thing,” said Sun City
Summerlin Fitness Assistant Heather Jahanbin, who
leads the monthly equipment orientation classes for
residents at each of the three fitness centers.
It doesn't matter if a resident has used an exercise
machine in the past or not, Heather said, the orientation classes offer a great way to review proper use
and safety procedures. The classes take place on the
first and third Wednesdays of the month and require
signup with the fitness monitor before the day of
class. Instruction is free, lasts about an hour and is
capped at a maximum of five students. Once a resident
signs up for the class, either a fitness monitor or
Heather will call the day before to remind the person
of the start time and location. All those attending class
must wear closed-toe, closed-heel shoes.
Classes cover what part of the body each machine
works, how to adjust seat heights, use the machine
pins to select weight, avoid weight slamming and how
to generally get in and out of each machine. In addition,
Heather reminds residents about the importance of
wiping down the equipment.
“I like to wipe the machine before and after a workout,” Heather said about the process that helps to
reduce the spread of germs. For convenience, each
fitness center is equipped with paper towels and an
anti-bacterial spray.
The last part of the class is devoted to workout
cards that are kept at each fitness center that help residents track their progress. Cards are kept on file at
each monitor station and residents are responsible for
keeping them updated.
In all, the equipment orientation class reviews the
seated circuit for legs, glutes, arms and abdomen, and
cardio machines like the treadmill and stair climber.
Free weights are not included in the class. For residents
who have specific questions about the machines,
Heather is happy to address them after class.

Security Patrol – Call 254-2303
Volunteers Invest Efforts In All Aspects of the Job
e Security Patrol car wash squad works year round,
making sure the ve Toyota Prius vehicles are clean as a
whistle before they depart on their 24/7 shifts. e four
volunteers, who also are volunteer drivers for the Patrol,
show up every Friday at 10:30 a.m. at the Desert Vista
headquarters. Hours vary with the season; volunteers
gather at 5:30 a.m. during the summer months to beat the
harsh daytime heat.
Squad members, led by mid-morning Patrol driver Dennis Nicpon, take turns directing returning vehicles into a
lane next to the Patrol’s entrance. From there, they go to
work vacuuming interiors, cleaning widows, dusting oﬀ
dashboards and wiping down exteriors. Other members of
the group include Patrol treasurer Fred Hinshaw, and husband-and-wife team Donna and Ron Pfeﬀer.
“We’ve been around for more than 10 years,” said Fred,
who used to manage the crew for nearly a decade.
“For the rst ve years we were up at the Pinnacle
maintenance yard at Eagle Crest. We’ve been down here for
the past ve years,” Fred said.
While Fred and Dennis said it can be diﬃcult to recruit
for the squad, they are currently complete with four members and a substitute.
“We used to have a couple who were with us for ve
years and when they left it was like divine intervention
when Ron and Donna showed up,” Fred said. Ron and
Donna, who drive the 8 a.m. to noon shift, have been with
the team for two years.
To help identify the crew and more importantly boost
its visibility while working in the parking lot, Dennis
bought the volunteers neon green sweatshirts and T-shirts
to wear while working.
“( e shirts) also let people know that this is another
thing Security Patrol does. We clean up a lot of things like
coﬀee stains and crumbs. ere isn’t supposed to be any
food in the cars, except for water,” Dennis said.
As work wrapped up on car No. 1, Dennis received and
backed up car No. 2 into the cleaning zone.
“What we’ve found is that graphite accumulates in the
trunk and at the bottom inside of the doors,” said Ron as he
ipped the switch on the shop vac. “We don’t know where
it comes from. We think maybe the battery attracts it. So,
we vacuum rst; and that’s what I’m doing.”

Sun City Resident Uncovers Family
Secrets in Genealogy Search
~ Aileen Zsenyuk/Link
(My lifelong hobby has been genealogy. The dream of every genealogist is to ﬁnd a long-lost relative, and there are several that I
have searched for without success. What few genealogists think of
and what I didn’t know was that I was the subject of a lifelong
search by someone else. That quest ended for a gentleman in Australia last November when I was located by a nephew I never
knew of.
We have spent several months unraveling this story. Now we
know that my father, who was born in Dublin, Ireland, was
married at age 19 in Scotland, where he had been working. During a visit to his family in Dublin, he was arrested by the infamous Black and Tan for violation of the curfew and forced to
leave the British Isles. A veteran of World War I, his fare to Canada was paid by the British government, but they would not pay
for his pregnant wife. After my dad found work in Canada, he
twice purchased boat tickets for his wife to follow him. She kept
the tickets in a little box of treasures, but never followed him,

choosing instead to remain in Scotland and raise their daughter

have lived in Sun City for nearly 25 years.
My father eventually made his way to the United States. He
was 34 years old when he married my mother, neglecting to tell
the staunch Catholic woman that he had been married – and
apparently not divorced – before.
What follows is my story, which I wrote as a writing exercise.)
B
ill and Aileen Zsenyuk are among the rst residents
of Sun City Summerlin, having moved here from
Michigan, where their three children, six grand
children and six (and counting) great-grandchildren still
reside. Bill had retired as Chief of Police in Milan, Michigan;
Aileen, from her position as business manager to a group of
radiologists in Jackson, Michigan. During the 25 years that
they have lived in Sun City, Bill and Aileen enjoyed a quiet,
peaceful, active life, participating in several clubs and serving
as oﬃcers in some. You could say theirs is a typical, predictable existence. You could say that, but you’d be wrong.
But rst, some history is in order. Over the years,
Aileen’s pastime has been genealogy and she spent many
hours locating family members and recording family history. She has been the “go to” person regarding the family
history. Aileen has published a book on her mother’s Swiss
branch of the family, “Family of the Jura.” Aileen’s father,
George Murphy, was born in Dublin. Irish genealogy is
complicated by war, res, and intrigue. Many oﬃcial records
26 · LINK · APRIL 2015
have been destroyed or otherwise lost. Busy preparing a
writen history for her father’s family, Aileen thought she
knew all there was to know about the Irish side of the family tree. She thought that, but she was wrong.

Canasta
e Canasta Club plays cards every ursday, 6-9 p.m. We
meet in the High Sierra Room at Mountain Shadows. New
Club President Roger Wagar takes students on a tour of the
glass studio.
Stained Glass Club President Roger Wagar has been
teaching students how to craft fine pieces of glass artwork for eight years. Roger took up his hobby from
scratch when he joined the Club nearly a decade ago.
“I enjoy it. It's a great hobby,” said Roger, who explained
how he has pieces that have traveled to Australia, England and Ireland. “My wife is into genealogy and through
her projects I have made gifts for people we've visited.”
Roger begins every class with an introduction of the
Club and then he takes students on a tour of the studio,
explaining the machinery, safety procedures, tools, and
how to select, handle, cut and polish glass. For their first
project, residents start off creating a tulip. The simple
shape offers a great opportunity to practice cutting and
polishing straight lines, as well as curves. Students get
to pick their materials from the variety of glass in the
club's repository, and they can borrow tools from the
Club for the duration of the four classes.
After that, “You decide if you want to join the Club or
not,” Roger said. “If you decide to stay you can rent a tool
box from the Club that has all the basic tools you'll need
for $10 a month. You can do that for up to four months
until you start buying your own things,” he said.
Most months the club hosts a series of beginners'
classes on two consecutive Monday and Tuesday evenings at Mountain Shadows.
Tulip completed and tool box rented, Roger said all students need to do is pay their $25 annual dues, sign up for
a locker and start on Project No. 2. The hardest part
about starting the next project, he said, is deciding what
to make. And that's when the Club's library of more than
400 pattern books comes in handy. Happy soldering.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT: Men’s Club
.
,
SCS Men’s Club members get ready to tour the Clark County Coroner’s suite during their February tour of the
Las Vegas office.
Members Get a Tour of the Clark County Coroner’s Office
The new SCS Men’s Club is not even 1 year old, and it
is already one of the most active in Sun City
Summerlin. Each month the Club has a happy hour, a
nature walk/lunch, a movie/dinner event and a discussion breakfast in addition to its monthly membership breakfast meeting at Desert Vista. On top of that,
we had Super Bowl and Academy Awards parties.
Some activities are men-only and some are coed,
designed to help develop friendships among members and their significant others.
In February, the SCS Men’s Club arranged two
tours of the Clark County Coroner’s Office with more
than 60 people attending. At first, the group did not
know what to expect, but soon began to understand
the very important work this office accomplishes.
Officer Amie began her presentation with an incredible slide show that introduced the various functions
of the Clark County Coroner’s office. She answered
myriad questions from the group as she went along. It
soon became clear that this office provides an exceptionally vital service to the residents of Clark County,
which is a vast area. The Coroner’s Office houses the
organ donor program and is responsible for the iden-
tification of the deceased. It also performs autopsies
to determine cause of death.
The Club was most impressed with the professionalism and respect for the deceased and their families extended by the Coroner’s Office staff. This fact
was most evident throughout the tour. Amie also
explained that the popular “CSI” television has used
the Clark County Coroner’s Office as a valuable
resource.
After the formal presentation, Club members
were instructed to put on surgical garb for the tour of
the actual coroner’s suite that includes the autopsy
rooms, prep rooms and diagnostic rooms. While the
tour was very sobering, it was enormously educational and compelling. Amie was able to explain the
entire process by offering up examples of events we
all have heard about in the news.
In all, those attending the tour were grateful for the
experience and gratified that we have such a great
resource in Clark County.
