On the Cover: The American Robin
is the quintessential early bird. They
are popular birds for their warm orange
breast, cheery song and especially
their early appearance at the end of
winter. We always know that Spring
is here when robins appear in our
neighborhoods.
Our cover picture of the American Robin
was taken by resident Harry Dalof.
“ I shot 89 pictures with a Wireless
Remote Shutter Release device to get
this American Robin and family” says
Harry. Happy Spring to all!

Executive Director
CLARIFYING THE MANAGER’S ROLE
I was recently asked to clarify m y role as t he Executive Director.
I came across t his article t hat I t hought might help t he members
understand and clarify that role.
Most associations em
ploy a highl
y-qualified professional
community manager and w e t hink residents should kno w what
the manager has—and has no t—been hired t o do. The manag er
has two primar y responsibilities: to carr y out policies set by the
board and to manage the association’s daily operations.
Some residents expect the manager to perform certain task s that
just aren’t part of t he job. When t he manager doesn’t meet t hose
expectations, residents naturally are unhapp y. Since w e w ant
you t o be happ y, w e’re offering a few clarifications to help y ou
understand what the manager does.
• The manager is trained to deal with conflict, but he or she will not
get involved in quarrels you might be having with your neighbor.
However, if association rules are being violated, the manager is the
right person to call.
• While t he manager works closely wit h t he board, he or she is
an advisor—not a member of t he board. Also, the manager is not
your advocate with or conduit to the board. If you have a concern,
send a letter or e-mail directly to the board.
• Although the manager works for the board, he or she is available
to residents. That doesn’t mean the manager will drop everything
to take your call. If you need to see the manager, call and arrange
a meeting. If a matter is so ur gent t hat you need an immediate
response, af ter hours, call t he association number and use t he
emergency number on the voice mail.
• The manag er is alw ays happ y t o answ er ques tions, but he or
she is no t t he inf ormation officer. F or routine inquiries, lik e t he
date of t he next meeting, please read t he newsletter or check t he
association website.
• The manager is responsible for monitoring contractors’
performance, but
not super vising them. Contr actors are
responsible f or super vising t heir o wn personnel. If y ou ha ve a
problem with a contractor, notify the manager, who will f orward
your concerns to the board. The board will decide how to proceed
under the terms of the contract.
• The manag er inspects t he community regular ly, but e ven
an experienced manager won’t catch everything. Your help is
essential. If you know about a potential maintenance issue, report
it to the manager.
• The manager does not set policy. If you disagree with a policy or
rule, you’ll get better results sending a letter or e-mail to the board
than arguing with the manager.
• The manag er has a broad r ange of expertise, but he or she is
not a consultant to the residents. Neither is he or she an engineer,
architect, attorney or accountant. The manager may offer opinions,
but don’t expect technical advice in areas where he or she is no t
qualified.
• Although the manager is a g reat resource to the association, he
or she is no t a vailable 24 hours a da y—except f or emer gencies.
Getting lock ed out of y our home ma y be an emer gency t o you,
but it isn’t an association emergency. An association emergency is
defined as a threat to life or property.
8 APRIL | 2015
(PART 2 OF 2) By The Board of Directors
TYPES OF COMMON INTEREST COMMUNITIES
There are three major forms of collective ownership of residential
property: homeo wners’’ associations, condominiums, and
cooperatives. This article refers to each generically as homeowners’
associations.
• *Homeowners’ Association. An individual ma y own his o wn
home (and possibl y his y ard), but t he homeo wners’ association
owns the common elements in the community (parks, recreational
facilities, etc.) The homeo wners’ association is responsible f or
maintaining t he common elements and enf orcing t he res trictive
covenants on the individual homeowners.
• Condominium Association. An individual ma
y o wn a
condominium unit, which is t he interior space of t he property.
The condominium association o
wns t he common elements
(roof, exterior walls, stairways, elevator, streets, parking areas,
recreational facilities, etc.). The condominium association is also
responsible for maintaining t he common elements and enf orcing
the res trictive co venants on t he individual condominium unit
owner.
• Cooperative Association. The cooper ative association o wns
(or holds title t o) t he real property . The cooper ative association
sells s tock, which carries wit h it t he right t o occup y a unit and
the common elements. A co-op owner is the stockholder who has
the right t o occup y a unit t hrough a proprietar y lease wit h t he
cooperative association.
*(Sun City Community Association of Huntle y is a homeo wners
association.)
ORGANIZATION OF COMMON INTEREST COMMUNITIES
- WHO’S IN CONTROL?
Most homeowners’ associations are non-profit corporations. Del
Webb es tablished our homeo wner’s association b y filing articles
of incorporation and adopting a set of bylaws. Initially, Del
Webb selected a Boar d of Direct ors and officers, and controlled
the homeowners association. As more lo ts were sold, Del W ebb
phased-in homeo wner participation on t he Boar d. This period
allowed all of t he homeo wners t o lear n about t he oper ation
of a homeo wners’ association as w ell as t he responsibilities
and duties of t he Boar d, while allo wing Del W ebb t o remain in
control. Ev entually, homeo wners t hemselves elected t he Boar d
of Direct ors. The Boar d chose its officers and then appointed
members to various committees, who began to assist the Board
in im plementing policies, and managing t
he homeo wners
association. We are at this point today in SCCAH’s evolution. The
Board is operational, and responsible for managing SCCAH! The
Board has chosen F irst Ser vices Residential and its em ployees to
carry out the day to day operations.
THE COMMON INTEREST COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION ACT
For the last 25 years, non-condominium homeowners associations
have been governed by sub-sections of the Illinois Condominium
Association A ct. As of Jul y 29, 2010, The Common Interes
t
Community Association A ct, no w go verns near ly all noncondominium CICA’s.
There are at leas t five primar y char acteristics t hat CIC A’s share:
1) t hey govern residential de velopments subject t o a declar ation
recorded ag ainst all of its properties; 2) o wners share common
interests, both in shared rights and shared property, owned by the
CICA, for their benefit; 3) owners pay assessments for maintenance
and o ther common interes t expenses; 4) t he CIC A is an Illinois
not for profit corporation; and 5) the CICA’s are subject to a set of
bylaws that govern their internal affairs.
Although t he A ct o verrides certain conflicting provisions
contained in CICA declarations, t he Act will generally govern
CICA’s alongside the CICA’s own declaration and bylaws.
Enough of this technical stuff!
Next we will explore “Why we live here”!

guidelines pertaining t o pet o wnership here wit hin Sun City
Huntley.
1) Pick up af ter y our pet. N o one w ants t o see, or smell, t he
droppings your pet leaves behind. Not only is it messy and ugl y,
but it is also unsanitary.
2) As a courtesy , don ’t allo w your pet t o urinate on someone’ s
lawn. Dogs can use t he par kway (t he g rassy area betw een t he
sidewalk and the street) but remember to clean up all solid w aste
and place it in a proper waste receptacle.
3. P ets are no t allowed in an y of t he Sun City lodg es. The onl y
animals allowed in our f acilities are ser vice animals - one tr ained
to assist an owner with legitimate disabilities. An example of this
would be a Seeing Eye dog. We don’t allow small dogs in carriers
or pet strollers or cute little purses, so if you’re planning on coming
to the lodge, please leave your pet at home.

coupons for gas and food such as sugar, coffee and
butter. Even shoes were rationed. The first year
Edson was gone, Virginia lived with her parents,
then she and her young son traveled on a train for
three days and two nights to be with him.

After t he w ar, Edson s tarted his o wn Tool and
Die Company in Chicago. They bought their
first home in Franklin Park in 1950 for $9000 and
Virginia settled down to be a stay at home mom to
raise their three children.
After 30 years of working as a Tool and Die maker,

WELLNESS CENTER SUPPORT GROUPS
Support groups bring together people who share
common issues – an illness, a disor der, or ma jor lif e
changes, for example. They discuss t heir experiences,
share ideas, and provide emotional support for one
another in a safe and confidential environment. Group
members wit h similar challeng es can support each
other and ma y sugg est ne w w ays of dealing wit h a
particular concern.
When joining a support group, you may initially
feel uncomf ortable discussing concer ns in front of
strangers. However, knowing t hat others are f acing a
similar situation may help y ou open up and discuss
your f eelings. Soon y ou will disco ver t hat you’re no t
alone or t he onl y person going t hrough a certain
situation.
The Wellness Center sponsors three support groups to
help you stay healt hy, active and independent. Those
support g roups are Care F or The Caregiv er, M’Ey e

NEIGHBORHOOD 28 CELEBRATES TEN YEARS!
(ASHTON TERRACE)
By Jim Nelson
Neighborhood 28 w as opened f or occupancy in
April 2005, and is no w preparing t o celebrate its
ten-year anniversary. Our neighbor hood, located
on the North end of Sun City near Huntle y High
School wit h 257 homes, has alw ays been activ e
and outgoing. We started out wit h a block party
and Chris tmas party . The Chris tmas party has
now been held for 10 consecutive years. The block
parties continue and have also grown into annual
neighborhood-wide summer “Chicken Pot-Luck”
and fall “Oktoberfest” events.
In 2011 our Oktoberfest featured a live auction of
neighbors’ donated goods wit h t he proceeds t o
be given to a worthy cause. In the past four years
this popular auction has g rown and deliv ered
over $ 5,000 to the Grafton Food Pantry. Priscilla
Poprawski held t hree donation driv es t o benefit
the Animal House Shelter , netting close t o $ 600
and more t han 950 needed items. In t he f all of
2008 Helen White or ganized a f ood driv e t o
benefit the Grafton Food Pantry; expanding it t o
spring and fall in 2009 to present. Donations from
neighbors to those 13 collections have reached to
over $ 34,780 in cash, and an a verage of a small
van-load of food at each collection.
Other N eighborhood 28 e vents include: ice
cream socials, golf outings, Ar lington Park trips,
casino trips, miniature golf outings, game nights,
drinks on the drive, “awning parties”, bowling
socials, t heatre trips, pok er r uns, v arious car d
groups, breakf ast g roups, dinner g roups, tr avel
groups, bunko groups, golfing groups; also there
are numerous dedicated v olunteers who driv e
neighbors to doctors, hospitals, physical therapy,
dialysis treatments, and more. N eighborhood 28
is also home of t he (soon-t o-be w orld f amous?)
“College of Knowledge”. Living in Sun
City Huntle y has alw ays been reg arded b y
our neighbors as somet hing more t han jus t “a
lifestyle”, but see and enjo y it more as an ideal
lifestyle. Happy Anniversary!

AQUATIC NEWS:
Why Water Exercise? Why the water? Water provides
many adv antages f or t he de velopment of balance and
coordination. Bo th are v ery im portant in e veryday lif e.
The reasoning is based on se veral properties of w ater,
the primary one being buoyancy. Buoyancy is an upward
force that provides a potentially weight free environment
to test your body abilities without the fear of falling.
Think about it. If y ou lose y our balance in t he w ater
what is t he w orst t hat w ould happen? Y ou will g et a
little wet? Also w ater provides hydrostatic pressure t hat
pushes on an immersed body t o help pro vide s tability.
Aquatic exercise is used by and for anyone to enhance
balance and coor dination abilities. So whet her y ou are
rehabbing an injury or simply reaching for a can of soup
in a high cupboard, aquatic exercise can be the answer for
improving your balance with confidence.

RV Travelers
The RV Travelers Club is no t jus t about t he
activities and socializing that are a major part
of the six outings t hat many of our members
attend each year. The restaurants that we eat
out at as a g roup are a lo t of fun and sitting
around a campfire in the evening is often a great time to relax
and pop popcorn or make s’mores. Another aspect of our club
that often is f orgotten about is t he “helping hands” aspect of
our time together.
The club is a mix of RVers. Some have pop-ups or travel
trailers; some 5t h wheel tr ailers; and some ha ve small or
large motorhomes. We even have members who ha ve stayed
in camping cabins during some of t he outings. While w e can
state with a fair amount of certainty that our membership is
made up of members that are on the “far” side of middle age,
this does not mean t hat we all have a wealth of experience in
RVing. Some of our members are “ne wbies” to our br and of
camping or have had many years pass by since they had their
first pop-up trailer that they towed behind the family car with
the kids in the back seat. But, the one thing you can count on is
to have plenty of help available to answer questions or to lend
a helping hand when something goes wrong.
When one of our members has a question or problem, they
generally don ’t ha ve t o w ait long f or t heir f ellow R Vers t o
offer helpful advice, lend a tool, or jump right in and get their
hands dirty in helping out. It is unf
ortunate t hat medical
issues become a lar ger part of our liv es as w e g row older .
It is no t uncommon f or one of us t o have a problem on t he
road that may require a visit to the nearest hospital. What is
common is that, invariably, there are volunteers that step up to
help in whatever way is necessary to take the pressure off the
individual or couple. One w ay or ano ther, our membership
will never knowingly leave anyone stranded on the road or at
a campground.
One of our more f ormal processes is t he monthly newsletter.
Updates t o outing inf ormation and a summar y of t he lates t
meeting of the Charter Blub Presidents’ Council is included
along wit h R V hints and tips, an
y appropriate recall
information (both vehicle and product) and a bit of humor. As
we don’t have normal club meetings, t he newsletter is where
we introduce our new members to the rest of the club.
If the RV Travelers Club is of interest to you, our annual meeting
is coming up on Ma y 5th. Give our president, Al Gableson, a
call and let him know that you would like to attend as a guest.

Scrabble Club
Last month there was a comparison between Scrabble and Words
With F riends. This mont h t he em phasis is on t he purchased
versions of WWF and a quick comparison to the free version.
For t hose who ha ve tried t he free v ersion, y ou kno w ho w
frustrating the pop-up ads can take away t he flow of the game
when playing an online opponent and t hat playing solo games
against t he com puter results in allo wable w ords t hat seem
unrealistic. (Actually they use a Collins English Dictionary which
has vocabulary from Britain and its former colonies).
The basic v ersion of t he purchased WWF allo ws one t o choose
their dictionar y, which includes Merriam W ebster, and does
away with all ads. It k eeps a his tory of t he last 10 g ames and a
listing of total points played by you and opponents for the week,
prior week, and all time. There is a v ery limited list of options as
compared to the NEW WWF.
The New Words With Friends has a leader boar d showing stats
for only one week at a time but a profile page that allows one to
see im provements in specific types of word play: double w ord,
triple word, percentages, etc. The menu also allo ws one t o show
whether or no t a w ord is pla yable bef ore committing it t o a
play. The dictionar y op tion re views all w ords played and t heir
meanings. There’ s a T ile Bag op tion which sho ws tiles no t y et
played but does not indicate what’s on the opponent’s rack. One
can t oggle between “chat” and t he dictionar y vie w t hroughout
the whole game. Next month there will be a word challenge.
