Executive Update

April is upon us and it is
National Volunteer Month!
Volunteers all across the nation will be
recognized and honored. We would like
to do our part by also recognizing the
volunteers all across the nation but
especially our Sun City Palm Desert
Community Association volunteers. As
a community, we are extremely fortunate
to have so many dedicated resident
volunteers who so willingly share their
wisdom, experience and passion for the
betterment of our community.
Our Association is the community it
is because of our resident volunteer
leadership. The Association’s business
affairs and governance are conducted
by our Board of Directors, Delegates
Council and twenty-two Committees.
A few fun facts about the number
of volunteers in this group are listed
below:
• 7 positions on the Sun City Board of
Directors
• 30 positions on the Delegate Council
• 210 positions on Committees
• 12 EPC positions plus block captains
and subgroups within committee
• 8–30 positions monthly, quarterly, and
annually to “get out the message” in
one form or another by: collating,
stuffing and delivering 65,000 issues
of News & Views; stuffing and mailing
all of our statements, financial reports,
audit reports; and anything else
needed.
It is this level of support, oversight, and
experience that holds assessments to
some of the lowest in the Coachella
Valley, compared to similar Community
Associations, while maintaining the
high standards that we all expect.
The Association honors these
volunteers each year in April with a
Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon in the
Sierra Ballroom. If you are a current
volunteer, check with your Committee
Chairman or Volunteer Group Leader
for this year’s invitation details.
Now for why you live here, the fun
stuff! We have 68 Chartered Clubs and
11 Resident Groups. That translates to
approximately:
• 270 positions as Club Officers
• 11 positions as leaders of Resident
Groups
If you have ever been a member of a
Chartered Club or Resident Group, you
know that it is these passionate club and
group officers who transform the Sierra
Ballroom into that special occasion or
the awesome golf tournament that
filled your weekend with friends, food
and fun. Whatever you enjoy doing or
have an interest in sharing with your
neighbors; our volunteers are the ones
who keep it all going.
Let’s not forget our 8 Support Groups
and volunteer organizations that are
dedicated to assisting our residents.
Hats off to their volunteer professionals,
facilitators, experts and membership
volunteers. We are blessed with a
human support system within our gates.
If you are interested in volunteering
in any capacity, we have a Volunteer
Interest form available online at
www.scpdc.com and at the Mountain
View Clubhouse front desk. If you
are currently a Sun City Palm Desert
volunteer, WE THANK YOU!

financial report
through january 2015
By Todd Chaloux, Finance Director
Through January 31, 2015, the
Association’s year-to-date results of
operations show a positive variance, vs.
budget, of $353,935 and the year-end
forecasted variance, which includes
expenses for capital projects, shows a
favorable variance versus budget of
$135,785. Although this is good
financial news for the Association,
it comes with mixed results. The
maintenance departments continue to
realize savings, which are the main
reason for this positive variance,
whereas, the Pro Shop has experienced
some challenges due to weather and is
now forecasted to come in approximately
$21,522 under budget for the year.
Staff and the Finance Committee
continue to work on the budget for the
News & Views · http://www.scpdca.com/news_views/
2015-2016 fiscal year and it is expected
that sometime in late April, staff, the
Finance Committee and the Board of
Directors will have a series of meetings
to review, discuss and finalize the
operations budget. Also, included in
these meetings are discussions regarding
the Associations reserve account as
well as requests for any new capital
expenditures.
On May 5, 2015, budget highlights will
be presented at the open Board meeting
in the Speakers Hall and all interested
residents are encouraged to attend.

REMEMBER
:
Send your
Delegate your
email address
!
From the
Delegate Council
By Charlie Thompson
Delegate Council Chairperson
It’s time to bid adieu! My time with
you as Chair of the Delegate Council
is coming to an end, and consequently,
my signature will no longer appear on
this column.
While serving on the Council, I’ve
learned to appreciate:
• The commitment of my peers on the
Council to work on your behalf, to
keep you informed as to what’s goin’
on, and to make you feel comfortable
and welcome in our community;
• The intricacies of managing a
complex organization larger than
many cities in this valley, while
endeavoring to satisfy individual
resident’s concerns and desires;
• The ability of our staff (that includes
everyone, not just management) to
make us feel proud that we chose to
live here;
• The talent demonstrated by those who
volunteer to serve, whether it be on
committees or clubs, or the Council,
to work together to complement our
Board of Directors and our staff to
proactively address whatever crosses
our path;
• And you. You, who chose to live here
as an owner, making that commitment
as you enter another chapter in life.
You, who rent, for being smart by
checking the place out before you
wind up buying (and you will!). You
make the difference! You are what
make this place vibrant and alive.
For almost two years, I’ve greatly
enjoyed writing for you. As I spoke of
life here in Sun City, hopefully I
brought a smile to your face while
encouraging your appreciation of and
participation in any of the plethora of
activities and festivities available to
everyone. Along the way, perhaps you
stopped and thought of more ethereal
concepts, motivated by some words in
this column.
As one door closes, another opens.
Beginning in May, I will assume a seat
on the SCPDCA Board of Directors. I
will carry forward what I have learned
over the past four plus years, and will
let that guide me to serve you better,
and more effectively, all the while
retaining a sense of humor. After all, if
it ain’t fun, then what’s the point!
That’s the way I’ve seen it; trust I’ll
see you around.

Pet Rescue Info
1. Collars with I.D. should
be worn by every pet.
Public Safety Committee
By John Westerholm
Fraud and Identity Theft
Crooks use clever schemes to defraud
millions of people every year. They often
combine sophisticated technology with ageold tricks to get people to send money or
give out personal information.
One recent scheme is that scam artists are
sending bogus emails with the subject line
“funeral notification.” The message appears
to be from a legitimate funeral home, offers
condolences, and asks you to click on a link
for more information. However, instead of
sending you to the funeral home’s website, the
link sends you to a site where the scammers
download viruses and spyware that gets
installed on your computer without your
consent. These programs can cause your
device to crash and can be used to monitor,
obtain valuable information and control
your online activity. If you get any type of
notice similar to the one described, the
Federal Trade Commission says hit “Delete.”
Don’t click on the link. You may then want
to contact the funeral home or family
directly to obtain further information.
A recent scam is a telephone call from
individuals who claim to be from the
Internal Revenue Service and demand
money for unpaid taxes. The Treasury
Inspector General has received more than
20,000 complaints about the scam. The IRS
does not operate in this manner, and
employs the US mails to notify individuals
about any tax issues. Do not use any
telephone number that is provided to you by
the scammers. Obtain the number from your
telephone book or the phone provider’s
information system.
Some suggested guidelines:
• Keep your credit card, checking account
and Social Security numbers to yourself.
Don’t provide this information to callers
or individuals you don’t know – even if
they ask to “confirm” this information.
That’s a trick!
• Don’t agree to any offer for which you
have to pay a fee of any sort to obtain a
prize or gift.
• Resist any pressure to make a decision
immediately.
• Resist buying software in response to
unexpected pop-up messages or emails.
• If a Wi-Fi hotspot does not require a
password, it is not secure. Other users on
the network can see what you send. Your
personal information, private documents,
even login credentials could be accessed
without your knowledge or permission.

Operating Committee Reports
Compliance Committee
By Carol Russakow
Many questions are asked of Compliance each year. A
common one is, “Why is the 38th Street speed limit 25
mph when there are no houses facing it?” The answers are:
1) the 38th Street exit from the Mountain View Clubhouse
is heavily used both as an entrance and exit for automobiles,
golf carts, and walkers; and 2) it is considered a residential
street. In California, such streets are normally limited to
25 mph. The only exceptions in SCPD are Del Webb, with
a 35 mph limit and Rainbow, which is 10 mph. You may
recall that Rainbow, where the original models were, was
similar to a park-like setting, thus it is very narrow making
a higher limit dangerous.
Another question relates to vendor decals. If you have a
workman, housekeeper, caretaker, etc. who regularly visits
your home, that person should complete the vendor
registration form at the MVCH desk. A decal is then issued
permitting the person to enter the gates without waiting in
the guest line. If you authorize entrance to a non-registered
guest, the homeowner must pay the fine for any rule
infraction by that person. Thus it really benefits you to
insist that your vendors are registered.
CSI Committee
By Sue Rogoff, Vice Chair
Spring signals a time for recognizing how small efforts can
reap huge results. The results of planting a small seed can
result in a huge tree. The result of exercising can result in
significant health improvement. The result of becoming
involved in your community, results in developing a social
network and friendships that should last for years.
Over the last few years, the CSI Committee has developed
procedures and programs that provide opportunities to
expand awareness and involvement in SCPD. The NRO
(New Resident Orientation) is held each month and allows
residents, new and old, to become familiar with standards,
obligations, opportunities, and activities that make our
community the envy of all.
We have implemented a “Welcome Wagon” approach
designed to greet new residents. Through the support and
involvement of various groups, new residents will be visited
and invited to “become involved and enjoy life” in our
community.
We, as a committee, have developed and implemented
strategies and procedures that, in concert with other
Log on to www.scpdca.com
support committees, facilitate residents’
ability to become comfortable members
of our community. These include, but
are not limited to club and committee
coordination, club expos and EPC
support. Thus, we are constantly
looking for individuals that would like
to contribute.
So, like the seed that turns into a tree,
I would recommend that you consider
reaching out. The result should be
extremely rewarding.
Library Committee
Many of our volunteers have Library
responsibilities beyond the two-hour
commitment. Eight serve on the
Library Committee, which meets once
each month. Others spend time at home
labeling newly donated movies and
audio books; and yet another volunteer
transports our surplus items to the
Friends of the COD Library warehouse
every week.
A sincere ‘Thank You’ to all of our
Library volunteers!
Please keep in mind that we may
enter on your property between 9 a.m.
– 4 p.m. any day in order to accomplish
our purposes. We usually do most of
our work on Tuesdays, and we may call
ahead or knock on your door when we
arrive. We always try our best not to
disturb you or cause any disruption or
damage while we are on your property.

during the month of April. What better
time to recognize and thank our
extraordinary team of Library
volunteers: Shirley Allan, Mary Ellen

help our Library could not function!
Volunteers are required to work a
minimum of two hours each week in
the Library. Volunteer responsibilities
include the processing and placement
of books, movies, audio books, jigsaw
puzzles, magazines, and newspapers.
Most work a regularly scheduled shift,
while others serve as substitutes.
Are you thinking about painting any or
all of your home’s exterior? Please
remember any modification, even
touching up the paint, requires LEC
approval. Touching up stains or holes
in walls, or repainting your home in
the same color, usually presents no
problem, but you must apply for and
obtain LEC approval before starting
any painting project.
Please read the revised Design
Guidelines, and particularly Appendix
F. You will find that allowable paint
schemes (combinations of paint colors)
have been updated, the use of accent
colors on front doors, gates and shutters
has been expanded, and the design of
where colors are placed on your home
has been greatly liberalized.
Come to the Sewing Room in the
Mountain View Clubhouse Tuesdays
between 9:30 – 11 a.m. to chat with
our Paint Group members. They can
provide you with information and
guidance that should make your
painting project application and
approval go as smoothly as possible.
Did you know? Forms and documents
required to apply for LEC approval of
new construction or alterations to
existing structures are available during
business hours at the front desk of the
Mountain View Clubhouse. You can save
yourself time by filing out application
documents in advance, rather than
waiting until Tuesday mornings.

Operating Committee Reports
Emergency Preparedness
By Ann Floden
Spring is in the air and the snowbirds are planning their
trips back home. Many snowbirds prefer to ship their
excess items rather than take them on the plane. Save
money by shipping with us! Come see one of our friendly
postal clerks who will be happy to assist you with your
shipments. For your convenience we stock a variety of
boxes, packing tape, and bubble wrap.
Did you know that many common household items are
dangerous to ship and are not permitted in the mail? Some
of the prohibited items are lithium batteries (contained in
cell phones), liquids, and aerosol cans. To assure that your
item is safe to ship, go to www.usps.com and learn more
about how to prepare your package.
We are happy to provide mail forwarding for our Private
Mailbox customers while you are gone for the summer for
a small fee plus postage. Simply give us your summer
address and we’ll do the rest. Not a Private Mailbox
holder? No problem, we have small boxes available for
3, 6 or 12 months. Please see a postal clerk for more
information about the mail forwarding service and/or to
open a mailbox.
As a reminder – to ship international packages (including
Canada and Mexico), you will need to create the customer
form online before bringing your package to the Sun City
Postal Center. You can create the customs form at
www.usps.com.

It’s Spring Drill Time!
April 16, Thursday, from 9 a.m. to noon is the time of
our spring drill. The drill critique will follow at 2 p.m in
Speakers Hall.
The Emergency Preparedness Committee has two
functions; one is to direct the immediate community
response to a disaster and the other is to educate our
residents for such an event.
• Preparation
The spring drill is when we pull together all the teams to
practice their assignments during an emergency. It is the
last big event to refresh our volunteer’s training before
many leave for the summer. Block Captains will be calling
on their residents, First Aid Stations will be activated,
Medical Mobile Teams will call on simulated injuries,
Search & Rescue Teams will make rounds and other teams
(Gate, Generator, Equipment Team, EOC Radio, HAM
Radio, Pet Rescue) will be participating.
These volunteers make time to practice so that in times
of disasters, they can assist their community. Participating
in a drill refreshes the training volunteers have had using
equipment and reviewing procedures.
All residents should take this time to review their own
personal emergency preparedness and take steps to enhance them. Earthquakes are one of those events you are
able to prepare for ahead of time and that action is capable
of saving your life.
• Education
During the drill, all residents are to receive a flyer which
will tell you where your First Aid Station is, where your
Command Post is, who your EPC District Director is, who
your Block Captain Coordinator is (person in charge of the
Command Post) and who your Block Captain is (person
who checks on their neighborhood). It is important you
have this information because these are people or locations
where you can either get help or they have radios to call
for assistance.
On the reverse side of the flyer you will receive are some
useful suggestions as to where to start making your own
preparations. Surviving a severe earthquake starts with you
and the preparations you have made in advance. More
detailed information can be found on the EPC portion of
the SCPDCA website.
Log on to www.scpdca.com
Having an organized plan to respond
to a crisis helps stabilize a community
so it can gather its resources and
effectively proceed to restore the norm.
A plan helps eliminate panic. When
you have a plan or are part of a team
effort, you know what you need to do,
you have considered options and you
have others to work with to survive the
chaos.
Consider volunteering. If you are
able to help others, you will be
more effective if you understand the
plans in effect and know how to
communicate on the 2-way radios and
walkie-talkies.
Monthly Emergency Preparedness
Committee (EPC) Meetings
Monthly Committee meeting are held
at 9 a.m. and District Operations
Meetings at 10:30 a.m. on the second

“I have cancer!” These are words no one wants to hear,
especially by a mother from her 36-year-old daughter living in
Nashville. Paula Berke’s response, on her return from
Nashville, was her passion to build a clubhouse like the one
so important to her daughter, Beth, a Gilda’s Club.
With friends in Sun City, seed money was provided,
volunteers held membership teas in their homes, and fund
raising had begun. Within four years, a site was rented in
Cathedral City and construction begun. Everything was
donated, from the architect, builder, a renowned decorator, and
furnishings. Paula’s vision had become a reality. Gilda’s Club
Desert Cities, the first on the West Coast, would provide free
service to those living with cancer.
Ten years later, a facility was purchased in Palm Desert and
once again, the Red Door was open. But who is this woman
who could accomplish so much? Married at eighteen, a mom
at 21, Paula raised three children. After her youngest entered
school, she went back to school, receiving her MSW degree
from USC. A young widow, she met and married Paul and
together they continued to raise six children.
Twenty years ago, Paul and Paula moved to Sun City. Now,
with six grandchildren and one great grandchild and recently
widowed, Paula says, “I knew I had to bring Gilda’s Club here.
It takes a village to make a difference and Sun City was that
village.”
And that is why Paula Berke will be recognized as Gilda’s
Woman of Achievement at the 5th Annual Sun City Luncheon,
April 16. Dreams really do come true!

The Girl on the Train
By Paula Hawkins
Hardcover 336 pages · January 13, 2015
The Girl on the Train is a murder mystery involving five main
characters. There are no chapter numbers, but each chapter is
headed by one of the characters’ names and the date that the
events occur.
The main character is Rachel, an alcoholic, who has lost her
job because of it, but she continues to ride the train to where
she had worked. She passes her time in London and then takes
the train home at the end of the workday. The train passes the
house where she had lived with her former husband, Tom, who
now lives there with his wife, Anna and their toddler, Evie.
Rachel also watches another house where Megan and Scott live.
She does not know them, but observes and fantasizes about
their lives.
Rachel’s life has changed dramatically. She is often drunk and
has put on weight, but most importantly has had a blackout,
which she tries to remember. She knows when it occurred and
the location. She gets fragments every now and then, but cannot
piece it together. She is so disturbed that she seeks the help of
a therapist whom Megan had seen, and seeks help from him.
The blackout becomes a theme throughout the book, which is
very suspenseful.
Rachel does not respect boundaries. She continues watching
the houses from the train, then visits the neighborhood, and
eventually makes contact with some of the people. Once she
came into her former home, picked up Evie, and went outside
with her. Anna quickly took her from Rachel and told Tom, who
had to speak to her. She told him she would stop; however, she
began to watch their house from across the street.
When Megan suddenly disappears, Rachel had been watching
that house, and was aware of visitors. She took it upon herself
to inform the police of her observations. One of the visitors was
the therapist whom Megan had been seeing professionally.
Megan’s husband, Scott, was in great distress over her absence.
His distress increased as the police work became more productive,
and Rachel involved herself in that as well. Then Rachel visited
Scott and found herself in a situation she never anticipated.
This is a page-turner I think you will enjoy reading and trying
to figure out.

Bonnie Faiman receives
her gift certificate.
I am an old fisherwoman
Coming face to face with the eventual.
Yesterday my rod hooked a sponge in salty water, and I seized it to my breast
As if it contained the stories of my youth in every crevice.
Now, I fish for mischief that awaits just around the corner.
I yearn to cast the line and reel in adventures anew.
Yet, I am thankful for the former ones
That lay pressed in my memory.
As I retract my line, I see the rippled sand at my feet.
I am inspired by the ebb and flow of the water
And the imprint of sameness that it leaves behind.
The rhythmic pattern makes me feel at peace with the now,
But, I am oh so excited about the suspense that the future brings.

How is a life well spent?
How many days do we face? Days of mischief? Days of grace?
We seize the days to set the pace. We hurl ourselves forward in a frantic race.
It is impossible to know what’s around the next corner.
So we struggle valiantly to maintain some order.
Who knows what suspense lurks down the next road?
So, we press on to carry our load.
Like sand flowing down through a timer, we hope and dream that life could be finer.
Like a wet sponge drying in the breeze, can we slow life down and create more ease?
If life is only an eye-blink this side of heaven?
Why can’t we be content with what we are given?
What is the answer to time well spent?
Accept our fate; Forgive; Be thankful for all blessings sent.

Acclaimed
Soprano
Angela Maria Blasi
By Joy Porrello
Angela Maria Blasi is a semi-retired opera soprano of world
renown.
Born in Brooklyn, NY, raised in Southern California,
Angela has a BA degree in Music from Loyola-Marymount
University and a Masters Degree in Psychology.
Angela enrolled in private singing lessons at the age of 15
and entered many singing competitions. Her career began in
the cast of Andrew Lloyd Webbers’ first off-Broadway
musical Evita, touring the west coast. In 1982, she won the
Metropolitan Opera Competition. A German judge at
another competition invited her to come to Germany where
he was certain she would receive a contract. She thought
“why not?” and off she went! Angela auditioned at several
opera houses and got her first contract with the Wiesbaden
State Theatre, playing all major roles.
The Munich Opera then became interested in her. She
auditioned and received a three year contract and developed
quite a large following there. She was honored with the title
of “Bavarian Kammersaengerin” by the Bavarian Minister
of Culture, which represents “Chamber Singer,” an old
tradition in German speaking countries after 10 years of
service. It’s a highly coveted Honorary Title and not given
lightly. Angela lived in Munich for a number of years, having
married a musician and given birth to two daughters there.
She was in demand as “Pamina” in The Magic Flute
following her debut in that role at the Salzburg Festival in
1985. That same year, she joined the Bavarian State Opera
where she was highly acclaimed for her interpretations of
“Micaela” in Carmen, “Musetta” and “Mimi” in La Boheme,
and “Liu” in Turandot. She performed “Liu” at the first
opera performances ever at the Forbidden City of Beijing

with Teatro Comunale di Firenze under the musical direction
of Zubin Mehta, one of numerous highlights of her career.
Angela sang on the main stages of London, Vienna,
Munich, Zurich, Milan’s LaScala, Geneva, Berlin, Florence,
Vatican City in Rome and others. In Sydney, Australia,
Angela performed the role of “Cio-Cio San” in Madama
Butterfly and was celebrated with standing ovations. She
sang with the Jerusalem Symphony and also the Israel
Philharmonic in TelAviv. Angela returned to the USA
regularly to sing at the Met, NYC Opera, Houston,
Washington DC, Los Angeles and others. She has many
albums she recorded, some solo performances and others in
operas. She performed the role of “Musetta” in the movie
LaBoheme. She was a 2004 Grammy nominee for her
interpretation of the songs of Joseph Marx with Germany’s
Bochum Symphony. She has worked with many celebrated
artists, such as Jose Carreras and Lucia Popp. She speaks
three languages – German, French and Italian.
In 2006, Angela returned to the USA, becoming a leading
artist manager with NYC’s Columbia Artists Management.
Angela is now Assistant Professor at USC in Los Angeles,
teaching voice and lecturing about the business of opera and
classical music. She teaches privately and consults with people
who want to break into the business, which is high pressure,
involving extensive travel. “It’s not always as glamorous as
it sounds”, she says. Angela is a Board Member with Opera
Arts, a non-profit organization, which promotes classical
music and cultural events in the Coachella Valley.
For fun, Angela enjoys gardening, crafts (needlepoint,
knitting, crocheting), cooking and hobby ballroom dancing.
She is a delightful, warm, friendly and fun person – not a
Diva at all!

What are some of the most
important lessons you feel you
have learned in life?

Try to look four or five years ahead,
so you still have some money in
your jeans for retirement and taking
care of yourself.

I am a person, who seeks perfection
in all I do in life; but I have found
over the years that less than
perfection sometimes works just
as well.

I’ve learned so much about life in
all of my years of living it and the
big lesson is every day there is still
something more to be learned.

Life is not always what it seems

sometimes it is worse.

No one wants to fall victim to a scam
or elaborate con game that would
leave us, heaven forbid, bereft of
our hard-earned money. However,
watching a movie about conmen (and
women) scheming to take down some
nefarious and/or obnoxious person, and getting away with it,
gives most of us a lot of enjoyment. Prime classic example:
The Sting with Paul Newman and Robert Redford.
Unfortunately, neither Will Smith nor the lovely Margot
Robbie measure up to that standard. They are modern day
con artists, but their marks, at the beginning of the film, are
ordinary people attending the Super Bowl. We get to witness
the pair of them, with their well-trained crew of dozens more,
steal anything and everything that isn’t nailed down on a
person. The crew’s Super Bowl haul is worth over $2 million.
Not bad for a bit of sleight-of-hand work in one afternoon.
Quite a crime wave, but not a cop in sight. They are all proud
of themselves, but the viewer is left with an uncomfortable
feeling. Do we really want to root for these guys who are
stealing from people like ourselves? No, not so much.
Will and Margot meet kind of “cute” in that she is trying to
scam him but of course he is right on it and ridicules her for a
very amateurish attempt. Wow, she’s impressed and practically
begs him to teach her how to be a better thief. They may be
falling for each other, but after their Super Bowl heist, and
one more big score off a high-roller who will bet on (literally)
anything, Will says buh-bye, leaving poor Margot crying into
her champagne.
Fast forward to three years later, Will is now in Buenos Aires,
scheming with a multimillionaire race car driver (Rodrigo
Santoro) to scam his competitors into giving him an unfair
edge in order to win a big race. But uh oh, who’s that gorgeous
babe in the brightest red dress ever hanging on the dude’s arm?
Why it’s Margot, doing a bit of scheming of her own. Sparks
fly all over again between Will and Margot, and their dual
scams start tripping all over each other. Things are looking
mighty grim when Rodrigo uncovers the con, but then an
out-of-left-field player saves the day (sort of). And it looks like
true love after all for our grifters. Yay. Skip it or rent it.

Did You Know…
In 9th and 10th Century England, the dining room table was a
plain board hung on the wall and called the “Board.” When used,
it was perched on the laps of the diners who sat on a bench, so
the lodgers were called “Boarders.” From that came the
expression “above board” to describe honest people.

Healthnut
By George Boucher, Assistant Fitness Director
April’s Healthnut are…
Patsy and Neil Roth!
Patsy was raised in Riverside and
Neil spent most of his childhood
Temple City before moving to Los
Angeles. The Roth’s have two
daughters, four grandchildren and
will celebrate their 50th wedding
anniversary in May!
After meeting at San Diego State
University, Patsy graduated with a
Bachelor’s degree in Elementary
Education and Neil graduated with a Bachelor’s in Recreation
Administration. Patsy was elected to the School Board for
24 years and taught elementary school for 17 years. During
that time, she earned a Master’s degree in Curriculum
Development from Cal State University. Neil worked for
the Woodcraft Rangers, a United Way youth agency and
owned and operated a child daycare center. He was later
employed by the Northrop Corporation as an offsite
specialist for 12 years before retiring. For many years he
was a member of the Lawndale Rotary Club and he
also served the City of Lawndale as an elected Council
Member and elected City Clerk.
The Roth’s have been residents of Sun City for 11years.
They belong to the Associates at Cal State San Bernardino,
Palm Desert and are members of Couples Putters and the
Computer Club. Patsy serves on the Board of the World of
Women, the Garden Club Social Committee, as a docent
at the Coachella Valley History Museum and with the Girl
Friend Factor, a local group that provides scholarships to
motivated women. Neil is literacy chairman for the Palm
Desert Rotary Club and is a coach for The First Tee, a
youth organization that promotes character development
through the game of golf. He also participates in Mountain
Vista Men’s Golf Club and Men’s Niners.
They exercise together for 90 minutes three times weekly
at Lake View, including cardio, weights and stretching.
Patsy attends Aquasize class twice weekly and Yoga
once a week. Advocating quality over quantity regarding
exercise, Neil comments that, “Exercise is an important
way of life, no matter how much or little you do.”

Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis
Using a Therapeutic Approach
For many people with rheumatoid arthritis, medication can
help relieve symptoms and even limit joint damage. But
nondrug approaches, such as physical and occupational
therapy, are also essential to help reduce pain, improve
range of motion, increase strength, and protect joints.
Specially trained clinicians can provide these nondrug
treatments. Your primary care doctor or rheumatologist may
refer you to a physiatrist, physical therapist, or occupational
therapist.
These professionals, along with established medical
therapies, may suggest complementary treatments such as
acupuncture, yoga, exercise and dietary supplements, as
well as advice about how to care for yourself through
adaptations in your personal and work life, useful gadgets,
and smoking cessation.
A physiatrist is a medical doctor who treats injuries or
illnesses affecting how you move, including rheumatoid
arthritis. He or she will perform an assessment and put
together a treatment program designed just for you.
Physical therapists help patients reduce their pain and
restore and maintain their mobility through an individualized
exercise program. The exercises are designed to build muscle
to support affected joints and maintain joint flexibility.
Physical therapy can take place at a hospital or outpatient
clinic, in the therapist’s office, or in your home. Some
activities can be done on your own; others require the
therapist’s assistance.
Occupational therapists teach people how to perform
day-to-day tasks and activities both at home (such as
preparing meals, maintaining personal hygiene, and using
utensils) and at work (such as typing) in a way that is easy
on their affected joints. For example, for those times when

Greetings and from the Pro Shop Staff!
Welcome to April! Please be aware of a few of the following
changes as summer nears;
• April 1 Tee Times begin at 6:46 a.m.
• May 1 Tee Times begin at 6:30 a.m.
• Club Play will still be at 8 a.m. with shotgun starts
through April and with a 7:30 a.m. start throughout May
Also the 90 Degree rule is still in effect through the summer
months (unless otherwise noted), which assists the staff in
keeping the courses looking great year round. Additionally
please be aware that instead of replacing your divots with
sand and seed now is the time to fill your sand bottles with
sand only. The summer grass grows back quicker over a base
of sand so please help us in taking care of the course. We
certainly appreciate everyone’s cooperation!
Staff is excited to announce the return of the Monster Golf
Tournament! Join us on April 24 for a 7:45 a.m. shotgun start
on the Santa Rosa Course and behold the monster created
by staff. The tournament will be followed by a luncheon with
prizes so get your team together, contact the Pro Shop and
get ready to play like a monster.
A few items to be on the lookout for in May will be our
popular Par 3 Tournament and Summer Golf League, which
will run from mid-April through the end of June.
We appreciate all of our resident golfers’ help in making
each round enjoyable for everyone.
See you on the links!

General Meeting: Weds., April 22, 7 pm
Tahoe, LV
by Jim Fortenberry
All are invited to our April 22 meeting,
7 p.m., Tahoe Room, Lake View. The
program is “Solar Storms and Planetary
Consequences.” The main changes in our
Sun happen over billion-year time scales,
e.g. in the latter part of the Sun’s life, Earth
will have lost its oceans from increased
heating.
The Sun can also raise havoc on a
shorter time scale. The scene: evening,
March 1989. Without warning, a tenth of
Canada’s population was in total blackout
from a solar storm. The storm came very
close to shutting down the U.S. electrical
grid – the modern day equivalent of a
house of cards. Auroras were seen in Texas
and Florida!
The global implications of a major solar
event are dire. Electronic devises could
be rendered useless. If hardened military
“assets” would not be spared, what chance
would our cars’ ignitions have or
communications that we take for granted?
Star Party: April 25, 8 p.m. All invited.
Jupiter shares the sky with a quarter moon.
Location: east greenbelt off Donny Circle
just south of Alliance Way. Watch your step
– it’s dark.

The Jungle Affair with the ZULLUU was
as outrageous and as much fun as touted!
The Anglo/African pop fusion high-energy
band/theater led Boomers & Friends on the
“ZULLUU line” that had everyone on the
dance floor. Jungle and safari attire were
as wacky as the entertainment, and no one
could resist the Mottled Eel or the African
Ostrich prepared by our own Chef Juan.
Boomers & Friends round up the
wagons and head to an extraordinary
western evening of covered wagon tours
and a chuck-wagon barbecue at the
Coachella Valley Preserve on April 10,
2015. Enjoy the sun setting over Mt. San
Jacinto and the western entertainment of
tossing horseshoes, steer roping, dancing
to a fiddler and a western music “sing
along.” Sign up pronto, because this
favorite event fills up immediately!
Remember that all events require
pre-registration. The flyers will be in all

The April meeting will be our last

macro, travel, monochrome landscape,

work of fellow members and hear the
judge’s comments.
On April 14 Alan Radin will conduct a

can bring their laptops and try the
techniques as Alan explains them.
It’s hard to believe, but the last activity
in April will be the club’s “End of Year

and announce the Photographer of the Year.
Please join us for a fun evening.
The last monthly meeting of the year
will be on May 5. Our guest speaker will
be Mark Stephenson, a photographic artist.
If you attend any of the local art shows,
look for Mark’s booth where he exhibits

year will again be available next season:
• Sunnylands Annenberg Estate Tour
• Newport Beach Christmas Lights & Boat
Parade, Bus Tour
Information and registration details for
these and other events will be provided
throughout the summer. As I’m sure
everyone will confirm with the beautiful
weather in December and January, time
slipped by quickly. Canadians who have
spent more than 120 days in any of the

Not only do we look forward to our

we have many lovely luncheons, exciting
tournaments and special events during the
year. Last month, we had our March 3
tournament and luncheon, with winners
awarded by President Lani Young at the
March 10 General Meeting. Names will be
in the next News & Views. Kudos to Oscar
and Annette Apodaca for the tournament,
and to the luncheon committee coordinated
by Lennie Weisman, Social Chairperson.
Our club membership has grown. The
season with our “snowbird” friends fills
the room to capacity and often overflowing
to use the extra Tahoe Room across the
hall. Marge Holmes, VP Scheduler and
assistant Jo Michel have a challenging
task scheduling foursomes at tables each
Tuesday.
As our weather heats up and some leave
for other homes or vacations, many of us
summer residents feel lucky to be able to
continue playing every Tuesday throughout
the year.
Sun City Canasta is played differently
from the Canasta most learned, and our
club instructor Barbara Leslie is busy
teaching new members. For membership
questions or lessons, call Maria Malter,

dance students have mastered the entire
mainstream set of square dance calls.
Congratulations to all who have made it to
the end of our season and we look forward
to seeing many of you dancing at the many
square dances here in our Valley.
Our internationally acclaimed caller,
Richard Brewer, will continue reinforcing
all the calls that we have learned through
the end of April and if there are enough
interested, we will continue through May.
Everyone is welcome to come and watch
us have a great time!
Our last Sunday Square Dance was held
on March 1 and everyone in attendance
had a wonderful time dancing to our caller,
Charlie Robertson, and also to our Round
Dance cuer, Bob Paull. We all wish our
snowbirds a wonderful summer and hope
they return in good health next fall ready
to have a great time Square Dancing.
We are now taking names, phone
numbers and email addresses for those
interested in our next set of square dance
classes. Please phone the President and
leave your information and we will let you
know when they will begin.

Ordering wine can be a daunting experience
for those not well-versed in “wine lingo.”
Some questions you might ask the
sommelier that could result in an interesting
wine are: What grape region are you
especially excited about right now? Do you
have anything open that is not listed on your
by-the-glass list? What single vineyard wine
would you suggest? Also, it’s wise to take
a look online at the restaurant’s wine list so
that you have time to investigate a possible
wine in advance. If such warning signs
appear as no listed vintages, regions, or
wineries, or the only choices are red or
white, your options are dicey, and you
might want to order a young, light white.
At least it will be cold and refreshing!
Reservations for our April dinner are
now closed, but our May wine and cheese
event on May 7 is open. This is a great time
to say good-bye to friends for the season
and renew your membership for next year.
We hope to see you there.

On Wednesday, April 8, The Forum is
pleased to present two radio talk show
hosts, Elise Richmond and Anita Rufus,
who will present different perspectives on
the issue of Affirmative Action.
• Who benefits from it / who is penalized?
• Is Affirmative Action discriminatory?
• Why has the Supreme Court ruled that
the goal of “diversity” in admissions to
college is an advantage that is justified
and is constitutional?
• Are the criteria generally used in college
admissions fair to all applicants?
• Are there circumstances where gender is
an appropriate factor in employment
considerations, or not?
These are some of the potential issues
our members and guests will have the
opportunity to consider.
Please join us for an interesting and
informative evening where everyone has
an opportunity to share ideas on all sides.

As we near the last few months of this
hiking season there are still many great
club hikes of all levels scheduled on our
local trails. A hike of special interest on
April 9 is one arranged by hike leader,
Burt Falk. Ginny Short, manager of the
Coachella Valley Preserve, will lead a hike
across the sand dunes west of Washington
Street. That area is normally off-limits to
the public since it is home to the FringeToed Lizard. Look in this month’s hike
schedule and website for details.
Also, there are a few rooms still available
at the Yavapai Lodge for our three-night
May 4-6 spring Grand Canyon Adventure.

March 13 was our last free social for a

to free and starting on April 26 a string of
2-5 p.m. Sunday afternoon Sierra Ballroom
tea dances at that ridiculous price is on
offer to all SCPD residents and their
guests. Steve and Barb will DJ for this
April kickoff, and don’t forget to BYOB
and snacks, standard metabolic procedure
for this format. No reservations needed.
Just grab your slidy shoes and pay at the
door. The only mystery about this dance is
why it is named Le Bunny Hop Parisien.
Simple! Our ethnically French President,
Simone Bord is retiring after this year and
because it’s now April in Paris, as well as
Easter Bunny month, but especially in
honor of Simone’s energizer bunny labors
during her term of office…well, you get
the idea. Namewise, Le Bunny Hop
Parisien beat out Le Sauteed Lapin by a
hare. Similar $5 tea dances are planned one
a month, except for an August break, right
through the summer. Solid evidence that an
energizer bunny and her brood of Board
member cottontails have been hard at
work. Whee what a club! Whee! Oui!

Well Sun City residents, here we are in
April and a lot of things have not changed.
Let’s see: Kobe and Steve Nash are still
recuperating from ailments, as if we don’t
know what that’s like; the Lakers and
Dodgers remain AWOL; Donald Sterling
is wondering who is sitting in his Clippers
seats and if his tryst was worthwhile.
Finally there is a rumor that Tiger Woods
is going to give up big boy golf and join
Menz Putterz. If he makes the big jump to
Sun City he will have to undergo a physical
to see if he can endure a grueling season
with us.
As for the rest of us, come to Lake View
Clubhouse Tuesdays between 7:30 and
8:05 to sign up and bring $3 for greens
fees. New members also pay $10 for dues
and HAVE TO BUY A CLUB SHIRT FOR
$20. Policy is NO SHIRT NO PUTT.
I still haven’t heard from anyone to be
the new president. If no one advances you
can all putt with a friend and not worry
about sign-ups on Tuesdays. Until then call
me if you have any questions.

By now, the Club Championships and the
Presidents Cup are over. The season is sure
flying by. The next big event is in April, the
Lads and Lasses Tournament. That will be
a two-day event on April 14 and 15. NEW
THIS YEAR: THIS TOURNAMENT IS
OPEN TO ALL SUN CITY RESIDENTS!
Teams consist of one man and one
woman, but they cannot be spouses. This
is a combined event with the Men’s
18-Hole Club and the Ladies 18-Hole
Club. For the first time this year it is being
opened up to the whole of Sun City. The
goal of our President, Dick Yarger, is to fill
both 18-hole courses. All you need is a
verifiable handicap index. Applications
are available on the MVMGC.net and
MVLGC.net websites and at the Pro Shop.
This is a fun event and we hope to have a
full field.
Elections are underway for the 2015/
2016 Men’s Club Board. A big thank you
to the men who served on the 2014/2015
Board for their dedication and efforts.

Do you think April showers will bring May

not here. But the colors you see in the Quilt
room from all the beautiful works done by
the Quilters would surely make all May
flowers glorious. If you stopped by the
sewing room and Quilters during the
Spring Craft Fair I’m sure you agree.
Beautiful!
Our trip into LA the end of March was
fun and adventurous. We also had a lovely
spring luncheon at the Classic Club where
we said good-bye to many of our snowbirds.
Safe travels.

Well, it’s over, and we have someone new
to lead the way to the future. The election
results were announced last month,
resulting in several new faces on our Board
of Directors. Paul Comeau assumes
responsibility for Men’s Tennis; Peggy Paul
takes on the challenge of producing our
mixers and creating interesting menus for
our luncheons; and David Strain steps up
to the President’s mantle.
Each was introduced at our annual
Dinner gala, celebrating “For the Love of
the Game.” Some 130 members and guests
dined on cuisine from Chef Juan, danced
to the music of the Ron Pane Band, and
enjoyed the libations of wine and
campaign. By now you’ve all enjoyed the
photographic creativity of Dr. Joe, who
seemed to be everywhere during the
evening. (Do I really look like that?)
The BNP Paribas has crowned two new
champions; and we’ve celebrated with a
successful Paribas Mixer at the end of last
month. This month, we commiserate our
“fortune” with the IRS, while playing in
the Taxes Due Mixer on April 18. Agan,
send in your reservations early; we sell out
quickly.
And remember, stay healthy. You can’t

waiting for you! Do you have a great
destination you would like to share? Come

We are always looking for a new location.
Please join us for dessert and a social hour
after the meeting, too.
You may not think you are the club type,
but that is what’s great about RVing – you
can go on your own and then with friends.
The SCRV Club is the best gang of travel
companions out there. Find out what you
are missing!
Do you ever have problems with the ol’
buggy? Consider them solved because we
have tabulated our combined RVing
experience and the SCRV Club has easily
a few hundred years’ of buggy troubles
among us. We can probably help. If not we
keep a preferred list of vendors.
Where else can you meet RVers with
every kind of rig? The SCRV Club goal is
to bring all SC RVers together!
Upcoming Rallies include: April, Lake
Havasu and October, Pismo Beach! (Next

Break up the Suns! That’s one of our
favorite sayings in the league when one
team seems to be running away with
things. As I write this article, they lead the
league with an 11 and 1 record with only
four games remaining before the playoffs
begin. By the time you read this the
playoffs will be in full swing (don’t you
just love those softball terms). But hey,
don’t just read about our league, come
down to the ball field on Mojave Sage and
enjoy it in person. All Monday AA/Coed
games and Thursday league games begin
at 8 a.m. and there is plenty of room to
park your cart on the grass behind the first
base dugout or sit in the bleachers. We also
hold open batting practice each Saturday
morning at 8 a.m. Just because league play
ends in early April, doesn’t mean softball
goes away (only our Canadian players go
away for awhile) as we play pick-up games
throughout the summer months. So come
on down and see what fun we have and see
if the Suns can continue their streak
through the playoffs.
If you’d like more details, please call Bill
or me at the numbers listed above.

with a little more fruit, or an Italian
Sangiovese. The quality of this grape is
mostly influenced by aging in oak barrels.
The youngest are ordinary wines, labeled
as Vin Joven or Rioja and rarely see any
oak. The Crianza designation requires 2
years aging with at least 6 months in oak
and represents a significant upgrade. The
better Tempranillos are designated:
Reserva (3 years aging, 1 year in oak; Gran
Reserva (5 years aging, 18 months in oak).
The oak aging brings out the better
qualities of the wine. Cherry, plum and
strawberry are common flavors. The better
examples show hints of leather and/or
vanilla as well.
This wine is reasonably priced. Crianza:
$8–$12; Reserva: $15–$25; and Gran
Reserva above $25. They pair well with
steaks, Italian dishes with red sauces,
and Mexican food like nachos, tacos and
burritos.
Visit one of the smaller wine shops
where they know the wines they sell. Ask
to find a value priced quality Tempranillo
and you will be impressed, I promise.

or Pilates? Try visualization! A 2009
Psychology Today article, “Seeing is
Believing: The Power of Visualization,”
states the brain patterns generated when we
perform a physical activity are very similar
to those generated when you visualize
doing that activity. So, visualize yourself
having energy, arriving at one of classes
and building the strength, coordination,
and healthy body that you want to have.
• Yoga: Benefit from flexibility, balance,
strength, increased breathing capacity
and relaxation for both our mind and
body.
• Pilates: Builds core strength, flexibility
and efficient movement patterns building
hip and shoulder stabilization and
developing functional movement patterns
throughout the body.
• Pilates Workshop: A half hour class free

Democrats in Sun City

General Meeting: Mon., April 27, 6:30 pm
Oasis+, SV
by Josh Denham
The Democratic monthly programs are
planned to inform and create an awareness
of issues that will have a positive influence
on our lives.
Come to our meetings where you will
see lots of smiles, receive some hugs and
hear an exceptional speaker every month.
Plus, you’ll have stimulating conversations.
Some of the programs and causes we
support: knocking down all barriers that in
any way keep citizens from exercising their
right to vote; preserve Medicare for future
generations; provide a legal path for undocumented immigrants to become citizens;
oppose proposals to transfer Social Security
continuity to the stock market; support the
right for same sex marriage; reject the
Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United
that permits corporations and unions
unlimited donations to elections; contest
all state imposed restrictions for women’s
healthcare.
This is a short list of the programs we
support which are essential for providing
equality for all citizens.

than any other for one simple reason: ‘love
thy neighbor.’”
