From the Sales Team/Facilities Maintenance Report 3

From the Sales Team by Patty Gaddis

As summer continues so does the construction on our two new models! Please welcome the Del Rio at 1550 and the Mariposa at 1771 square feet. They are designed to meet the growing needs of the residents in this wonderful community. We'll have floor plans available soon. Talk about growth! Pulte has given the ok to start Phase III. You should start seeing dirt being moved around in July and we plan to start selling lots in September. Phase III will add even more opportunities for fun, recreation and friendship. Did You Know - In the 1940s, the building of the Flamingo Hotel was to signal the start of the big-time gaming in Nevada. The potential profits became obvious to the underworld. When the original contractor ran into problems with construction, the bank offered Del Webb the opportunity to finish the project. Only later did Webb learn that one of the owners was underworld figure Bugsy Siegel! Webb consulted with J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI, and Hoover encouraged him to go ahead and complete the project. At one point Bugsy Siegel reassured Del Webb saying, “Don’t worry...we only kill each other.” A few weeks after the Flamingo’s grand opening in December 1946, its notorious owner was shot to death in Beverly Hills.

Facilities Maintenance

Channel 98 - With the Bulk Cable Agreement, Time Warner Cable installed our in-house Channel 98 and it is now LIVE for homeowners to access in their homes. This channel offers us another venue of communication with residents.

Remodel is Underway - Many clubs have gone “dark” for the summer, which alleviates some of the congestion in scheduling rooms. However, we are monitoring use and availability. We are excited to have this project completed by the end of summer for season’s return.

Landscape Contractor - After reviewing bids from six landscape contractors, including the current company that handles the landscape for HOA common area, a decision was made to bring on O’Connell Landscape. They began working on June 1, 2008.

Landscape Update - O’Connell Landscape replaced a two-inch pressure regulator at the front entrance that was restricting water pressure to the irrigation of the lawn. The summer flower color has been installed.

From the General Manager

Street Sweeping ScheduleThe homeowners’ association is responsible for street sweeping of the HOA tracts. The tracts are being swept on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The Montecito Clubhouse parking lot and Sun City Boulevard from the main gate to 40th Avenue will be swept on Fridays & Mondays. Tracts north of Sun City Blvd. are swept on Wednesday and tracts south of Sun City Blvd. are swept on Thursday. Any unfinished streets will be swept on Fridays. Land Development sweeps all other streets twice a week due to on-going construction.

Street LightsReport streetlight repairs to the HOA Office. The HOA Office will report them to the Facilities Maintenance Department so they can be repaired. Streetlights that need bulb replacement or repairs will be reported to Imperial Irrigation District. Streetlights are inspected monthly by the Facilities Maintenance Department. With the summer months upon us and temperatures of 100 degrees plus, keep in mind the pool water temperature can get up to 90 degrees. It is normal for pools in the desert to get hot due to hot ambient temperatures. The pools at the Fitness center are not cooled, so as the air temperature rises, the pool water gets

warmer. During the summer months we turn off the heaters to the outdoor pool. The indoor pool air temperature is climate controlled and is maintained at 86 degrees and the pool water is maintained at 86 degrees. The Association has changed the landscape contractor for the common areas that are maintained by the association. This change took effect on June 1, 2008. The landscape contractor is O’Connell Landscape. They are based out of Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. They have numerous projects out here in the desert. You will see a different landscape concept style as opposed to what we have done in the past. The trees and plants will be trimmed in a more natural cut or trim than a rounding trim. This will allow the plants to grow, bloom more and have a natural look. For the fall and summer color change, you will see a larger and healthier plant.

Tip Of The Month:As summer is upon us, you should consider having your air conditioning units serviced by a licensed contractor. A licensed contractor can provide you with a list of service check points that will be done on your air conditioning unit.Have a great Summer.

The State of the Cityby Andrew MulderLand Project Manager

On May 22, Sun City Shadow Hills welcomed Mayor Lupe Ramos Watson and representatives of the City of Indio for a “state of the city” address to our residents. Since a number of residents were not able to attend, I thought I would offer a recap of the comments made by the mayor. Prior to her presentation, the Association Board of Directors recognized resident Dow Tunis for his coverage of the city in the pages of the View over the years. His hard work has gone a long way to bringing us “News About Indio.” Thanks Dow! Mayor Watson began her comments by talking about the Indio city council’s five priorities, which were established three years ago. Those priorities are roads, water, parks, public safety, and economic/retail development. The mayor’s presentation consisted of 86 slides. Here are some highlights:

The city is in the process of a $168 million road •improvement project. To date, 46 miles of roads have been paved and another •31 are scheduled for repaving as a part of Phase VI of the road project which the city council recently approved. The plan is to repave 10-15 miles of roads every year, •more as the economy picks up and as development requires.One of the largest projects will be the improvements •planned for the I-10/Jefferson interchange. Significant improvements have been made to the city’s •water system which have resulted in increased water pressure and improved delivery. Over the last four years, the city has installed 154 miles •of lateral waterlines, in addition to the 80 miles of line installed between 2000 and 2004. The total of 234 miles of water line over eight years is •more the city had installed in the previous 40 years.Construction is underway on a 5 million gallon •reservoir located on Jackson at Ave 45. The reservoir will be powered by a solar paneled roof and should be completed early this summer.Two more reservoirs have been designed that will be •located north of Ave 40. Combined the two reservoirs

will add 13 million gallons of emergency water storage to the system. Construction of the first will begin this summer. The city has completed major renovations to five public •parks, and recently awarded the contract for renovations to North Jackson Park.The city also added Doug York Plaza in front of the •Indio Performing Arts Center.The city has purchased 70 acres for future parks •including the Indio Sports Complex. At present there is no funding available to build the park but acquiring the land was a necessary first step.The city added 18 sworn police officers, a sixth beat •north of the freeway and has an average response time to 911 calls of 2.5 minutes.The ratio of officers to 1000 population is .96, just •under the industry standard of 1.0 officer per thousand population.The city recently opened a police substation downtown •on Miles Ave. According to data from the Coachella Valley Economic •Partnership, you are more likely to be a victim of crime in Indian Wells, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, or La Quinta than you are in Indio. With Riverside County and La Quinta, the city •purchased a new ladder fire truck in 2006 and two new ambulances recently. A ladder truck costs $750,000 and a fully equipped ambulance costs $162,000. The city has six ambulances serving Indio.•The Shadow Hills Fire Station opened in November. •The city broke ground on another station north of the freeway in the Terra Lago neighborhood in May.Retail development is bustling. On Highway 111, the •Jackalope restaurant, The Alley, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Panda Express, and Quiznos are either here or coming.Home Depot is open and Super Target is under •construction at Jackson and Ave 42. Polo Square on Highway 111 will be a “city within a •city” and unlike anything in Southern California when completed.The city has some 2 million square feet of retail in •various stages of approval or construction. Lowes, Marshall, and Staples should be open in about a year.A new Teen Center, Senior Center, and Library near •the high school are in various stages of financing, planning or construction – will be the valley’s first intergenerational campus.The Indio Performing Arts Center building was •purchased in October 2005 and had its inaugural event in January 2007.

The city has joined with a private developer to build the •Indio Transportation Center with a bus station, rental car facility, and taxi service. The city is exploring building a spur for Amtrak train service. The city budget will not operate in a deficit. Revenues are •down about $1.7 million but expenditures are down about $1.4 million, and the city is carrying about a $1.5 million fund balance from last year. The council anticipates a break-even position at the end of this fiscal year.City staff is preparing the 08-09 budget which will basically •be a rollover budget. With the economy in turmoil, the city will not undertake a lot of new projects next year but will continue to work to fulfill the commitments already made to improve roads, parks, and the water system.About 4 percent of the city’s housing stock is in foreclosure. •The city has adopted a foreclosure ordinance that requires banks to register foreclosed properties and maintain them. The city has increased its Code Enforcement staff, and has a •state of the art graffiti truck that uses a computer to match any paint color.A recent statistically valid survey of 800 residents show that •61 percent of residents say the quality of life in Indio has become better or much better compared to three years ago. Surveyed residents ranked the customer service they receive •from city employees 16 percent higher than the national average.Full results of the survey are on the city’s website: www.•indio.org.

Did You Know?

Chief Bradley S. RamosIndio Police Department

Indio is the largest and oldest community in the Coachella Valley, rich in history, and has one of the lowest crime rates of all the Coachella Valley Cities…(source Coachella Valley Economic Report 2007). Indio is below the Riverside County’s average violent crime rate per 1,000 residents. We are ranked in the same tier as Rancho Mirage, and Indian Wells (CVER 2007). Our Burglary per captia is lower than La Quinta, Palm Desert, and Indian Wells. Considering that each of these communities have more gated communities, and guard gated communities than Indio...

The Shadow Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of MusicMEET KAREN ADAMIK

by Andy Perler

Karen Adamik is currently Music Director for the Sun City Shadow Hills Community Singers Club, which recently presented its first concert, “An American Tribute”, to a sold-out crowd. As music director of the club and arranger of the music, Karen was largely responsible for that program’s success... She brings to our community a wealth of musical experiences which began when she was quite young. Born in rural Pennsylvania, Karen was born into a family of music. She learned to sing before she learned to talk by sitting on her Mother’s lap and learning opera and at her Daddy’s feet as he taught her to appreciate Johnny Cash. At age six, she began her performance career by singing Schubert’s “Ave Maria” in Latin in front of an audience of five hundred. Karen soon teamed up with her four siblings to create music which kept the entire family busy traveling from church activities to county fairs. The family car was always packed with guitars, flutes, electric pianos and the sounds of music. Karen says that she knew from early on that music would be her life. She trained as a voice and piano major at Indiana University of Pennsylvania where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. Highlights of her professional music career include:

• Singing at weddings, shows and parties at local gigs inPennsylvania. • AtnineteenplayingtheroleofMariain“WestSideStory”toselloutcrowds at Indiana Theater in Pennsylvania.

• Selected as the official soloistfor the Pennsylvania Veterans of Foreign Wars. • Attwentybeingselectedtostudyand perform with Andre Previn in his program for young artists when he was the conductor of the Pittsburg Symphony Orchestra.• Attwenty-twosheearnedaplacein the Pennsylvania division of the Metropolitan Opera Young Artists’ Competition. • More recently performing therole of Mother Abbess in “Sound of Music “at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center

Among all her accomplishments, and one of the biggest thrills of her life, was when she got to fulfill a lifetime desire to sing The National Anthem at Dodger Stadium, to a crowd of 36,000. She sums up that experience by saying: “What an exhilarating experience! As an adult mom it was the thrill of a lifetime to be able to belt out that song to such a large audience and get overwhelming applause from the fans.” While performing music has always been important to her, Karen has always maintained her desire to “give back” by teaching others to love all kinds of music. She feels that has been her real calling. If you ask her what is the most driving purpose in her life – and one that has meaning to her here in Shadow Hills, she will tell you: “I want to teach and motivate people to love music. Choral music exercises the brain, the body and the emotion in a team sport where nobody sits on the bench.” Nurturing young bands, choirs, and performers has always been important to Karen. She taught for 30 years in several school districts in Southern California. At her first teaching experience in California, she took a high school band of five and turned it into a uniformed competitive marching unit of 100 in less than two years. Her first high school choir boasted eighty four members by the end of the first year, and by the end of the second year, had split to form four more performing vocal groups. These groups were also in great demand

for performances all over California, from Disneyland to Pier 39 in San Francisco. For her contribution to music and children, she was honored as South Bay’s Richstone Teacher of the Year in 1993. Music also introduced her to her husband Jim. Karen was providing wedding music for the niece of a good friend in Pennsylvania. It seemed the friend had a brother, Jim, who was traveling from California to do the photography for the wedding. Karen and Jim met at that wedding and one month later they were married. Now 30 years later they say music was indirectly responsible for their four wonderful children, Colin, Katie, Beth, and Glen; one lovely daughter-in-law, Maryann; and one grandson, Nathan. They have lived here for two years having moved from the LA area. They were attracted to SCSH by the visual appeal of the community and the friendliness of the people. Karen says, “We never dreamt we could make so many friends so quickly. That’s what SCSH provides – friends and all the fun a retired person can fit into a 24-hour day.” Karen’s singers know her as a great music coach and mentor. Two members of the Community Singers Club, Joan and Lou Reinitz who were both in the recent American Tribute Concert held at the Montecito describe Karen as “A great leader - she has boundless energy, is extremely talented musically and gets everyone to perform at their highest level.” Karen gives back in many ways. Both Karen and Jim are active supporters of “Loving One by One” a ministry which serves the refugee and orphaned children of Uganda, Africa. They have

travelled to Uganda five times to assist the ministry’s New Creation Center, a school which now boasts forty-four refugee students, and New Creation Family Home, a new orphanage project for children orphaned by war or disease. We are lucky to have her in our Sun City Shadow Hills community. She helped make our American Tribute concert a huge success and positively touched both singers and the audience with the sound of music. She will continue to give back in our next musical event in November when the Community Singers and Performing Arts Club present a Broadway Musical Review.

News About Indioby Dow TunisOur Roving Reporter

Indio Planning Commissioner Jackie Bethel was recently honored among 11 senior citizens living in Riverside County during the 16th annual senior inspiration awards luncheon. Each of the honorees was nominated by his or her respective city for extraordinary contributions. Jackie 75, has served on the Planning Commission for 14 years with a five year election to the Indio City Council from 1999-2004 during which she served one year as Mayor. She also is an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, Sunrise Rotary, Job’s Daughters and Eastern Star. Jackie also served on the Parks and Recreation Commission until 2007 when she replaced Yours Truly, returning to the Indio Planning Commission. Kudos to Jackie Bethel, she is an inspiration to all. Are you part of the “Good Neighbor” policy? Look after your neighbor’s homes when they are gone. This would include putting the garbage and recycling bins up off the curb, picking up mail or newspapers and in general keeping your eyes and ears open. The same would apply to your neighbor when you are away. Don’t forget to tell your neighbor how to reach you in case of an emergency. In case you missed it, the preliminary details of our new U.S. Post Office were released several months ago and include:•Constructioncouldbeginbythefirstoftheyear•Costisestimatedat$6milliontobuild•Completioncouldtakeayear• LocationstillnotofficialbutthereisaverystrongpushtolocateNorth of I10•Ourcurrentpostofficeat45-805Fargowouldreceiveamuchneeded face life and remain open. The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was a hugh success. The down side was thousands of political flyers endorsing one of the candidates fell from the heavens like confetti creating a real mess. The endorsements were intended to rain over the music festival at the Polo Grounds however the pilot missed the mark and the fliers ended up over a 2 mile radius northwest of the intended target. It turned out to be a costly mistake as the fliers landed in local swimming pools and yards which had to be cleaned up. Our Indio police know the culprit and are looking at their options regarding how to handle the situation. In case you wondered how many people attended our last two

festivals, set your peepers on these numbers:Coachella Valley Music and Arts which features rock – 180,000. Stagecoach country music – 120,000. Needless to say hotels, motels, bars and restaurants were packed with happy folks spending money. Send up the rockets, another big box store is coming to Indio. Lowe’s is in the process of purchasing 13.52 acres at Ave. 42 and Monroe Street from Richard Weintraub. You remember him, owner of the Fashion Mall? Lowe’s assumes the same rights granted to Mr. Weintraub in terms of the development agreements between the City and Pacific Indio properties of which Weintraub is a member. Keep your fingers crossed because that particular intersection hasn’t seen a speck of development. We need to step up to the fact that we face a real water shortage. The Sierra Nevada Snowpack, a key source of California’s water supply, has fallen about one-third below normal levels. While we may not see rationing, water districts around the state are preparing plans for mandatory conservation to deal with a possible drought. Here are a few more tips that may seem small but add up to a great savings of our most precious resource, water.•Turnoffthefaucetwhenyoubrushyourteeth.• Putsomewaterinthebasinwhenyoushaveandusethattorinse your razor.•Runthewashingmachineandthedishwasheronlywhenfull.• Replaceyourshowerheadwithalow-flowversion.•Checkyourtoiletsforleaks.•Useabroom,rakeorblower,ratherthanahose,tocleanyourdriveway or patio. Several residents have asked what the annual Cinco de Mayo event was all about? The event celebrates an unlikely victory of a small, poorly armed and under equipped Mexican army over the French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Although the Mexican Army was eventually defeated, the “Batalla de Puebla” came to represent a symbol of Mexican unity and patriotism. What is CFD? It is the outcome of the 1982 Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act. Under state law cities can finance streets, sewer systems and other infrastructure, police protection, fire protection, ambulance service, schools, parks, libraries, museums and other cultural facilities. The law allows any county, city, special district or school district to establish a community facilities district to finance public improvements and services when no other source of money is available. For those homeowners in a CFD , they pay an average of $400 per year. In the case of Indio the fee is considerably less because our district established CFD to finance fire and police. The result is we probably will pay $100 or less for a police station and nothing for a fire station because it was built by our developer Pulte Builders. If you need further info call Sid Weiss at 285-1314 or Steve Copenhaver at city hall, 342-6500 xt 559.

The City of Indio held its latest clean-up March 29th in the Penn West neighborhood. Burrtec donated 18 trash bins and their driver’s time and city department volunteers cleaned out

30 tons of trash. To date the city has removed 395 tons of trash from neighborhoods using 200 industrial size trash bins. You can imagine the good will that has developed between the city and involved residents.

On May 22, Dow Tunis, resident of SCSH and reporter extraordinaire, was recognized by a Resolution unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the SCSH Community Association for his diligence and perseverance in bringing news of Indio, the surrounding areas and necessary information to his fellow residents of SCSH. Dow, as all who read the View know, writes a monthly column digesting the previous month’s meetings of various committees of the City of Indio, interesting tidbits gleaned from his contacts in the community and tips on living in the desert. He is a fountain of knowledge regarding the comings and goings of the California Highway Department as it pertains to our area, the City Council, various committees (in particular – Planning) and sub-committees. Without his insider information, rumor would play an outsized role in the community; without his ability to transfer the importance of the various meetings into simple prose, the community would not understand fully the implications of the results of those meetings.

Dow and his wife Phyllis are outstanding members of the SCSH community. Phyllis was instrumental in forming the Opera Club and remains a stalwart member. Dow has given his time and expertise selflessly and for the greater good of his fellow residents. It is an honor for him to receive this Resolution by the Board of Directors. The specific paragraph in the Resolution which highlights the intent of the Board follows: “Now, Therefore Be It Resolved, that we, the Board of Directors, wish to express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Dow Tunis for his service to the Association and its members, and our hope that he will continue to report on the City of Indio.” In this Resolution, the Board has expressed the feelings and wishes of all of Dow’s fellow residents of Sun City Shadow Hills. Thank you from everyone, Dow; we look forward to many more of your reports in the months and years to come!

Just because the heat is a mere 110 degrees, we felt there was no reason to slow down or hibernate. Fun should happen every day of the year. That is why we threw in a shopping trip or two and a day of bingo. Not to worry if you couldn’t find your drive to get out in June, we have plenty of stuff scheduled for July. We have a great pool party on July 17th with fun, food, drinks, and more. Splash around with your neighbors at the community pool, but don’t forget your sunscreen.

The Music Is ComingIf it’s music you like, it is music you are going to get! With the formation of our new Concerts club, the music choices will be endless. Both the club and the Lifestyle team will partner for one of the best music series yet in 2008/2009. The tickets will be available on a first come first serve basis starting September 9th. We will cover the spectrum of entertainment with big name acts in standup comedy, country western, jazz, and rock n roll. Not to mention plenty of performances by our very own Community Singers.

New Year’s BonanzaIf you enjoyed last year’s party you are going to love the nonstop party this year. You can rock in the New Year with the return of Ronnie and the Classics in the Maramonte Ballroom or ring in the New Year with the Jazz Trio in the Cambria/Mirada. If its line dancing that keeps you up past midnight, you can 2step the night away in the aerobic studio. Not to mention strolling musicians and magicians. The food, drinks, and fun will be plentiful, so bring a friend or neighbor and enjoy the final moments of 2008 with us.

Golf Maintenanceby Geoff Johansen Golf Course Superintendent

As we have started to re-work the bunkers on the back nine, I felt it important that we review some issues that arise with bunker maintenance. Bunkers are sometimes the subject of criticism. From the golfers perspective they are too hard, too soft, or too wet. It is easy to get frustrated with bunker performance, but golfers need to realize that bunkers are a function of architectural design, the physical properties of the sand, and the intensity of bunker maintenance. According to the USGA Rules of Golf “A bunkers is a hazard consisting of a prepared area of ground, often a hollow, from which turf or soil has been removed or replace with sand or the like.” There are some factors to consider when working on bunkers.1. Sand selection greatly impacts the short and long term performance of the bunkers.2. Without proper drainage the bunker soon becomes a water hazard. 3. Color of sand is often the overriding factor in sand selection, not what is appropriate for the facility or its golfers. It is important to develop consistent standards when dealing with bunker maintenance. As the golf maintenance team proceeds through the summer working on bunkers, we will address any concerns brought forward. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me.

18 Commitee Reports

We have received a number of complaints regarding recreational vehicle (RV) parking within the community, and thus would like to provide a brief overview of community rules regarding these vehicles.

1. Except for short-term parking outlined below, RVs are not permitted within the community including streets, common areas, clubhouse parking lots, driveways, and side or rear yards, unless the RV can be parked within your garage with the garage door closed.2. Short-term RV parking is permitted for up to 120 hours (5 days) in any calendar month or 48 hours in any single session. Security will now keep a log of such vehicles as they enter and leave the community to ensure that these time limits are strictly enforced.3. In consideration of neighbors, RVs should be parked in front of the owner’s home during permitted stays.4. During permitted stays, RV awnings and slide-outs may not be deployed except for a maximum of 15 minutes to allow cleaning.5. Camping and/or overnight living in an RV or any other vehicle is prohibited while the vehicle is located within the community.6. RVs and other vehicles may not be dismantled, repaired, rebuilt, serviced or painted within the community, unless such services can be performed within the owner’s garage with the garage door closed.

The Covenants Committee and the community-at-large greatly appreciate your adherence to these rules.

Covenants Committee Security Cornerby Ray Boyd

If you remember when the television repairman dressed like a West Point Cadet then this article deserves your attention. Social mores have changed and employers can no longer screen out long hair, beards or funky dress. In fact, employers cannot even ask a prospective employee if he has ever been arrested. This translates into a warning for everyone. Most responsible business firms provide their outside repairmen with a photo identification. Ask to see this identification. Agencies supplying domestic help have no obligation under California law to make even the most cursory background check on the employees they send to your home. Domestics, former domestics and boyfriends of domestics have been responsible for many burglaries and/or mysterious disappearances from homes where they have served. A method of providing a modicum of protection for you is to insist that the domestic agency fingerprint the employee assigned to your home. The Boyd & Associates office can assist you in running a criminal records check on anyone you wish to employ. Recently, there has been an outbreak of home invasion robberies accomplished by criminals sending a girl to the homeowner’s door to complain that her car has broken down, and she would like to use the phone. Then a boyfriend standing nearby appears and forces his way in with accomplices. The resultant loss has not always been confined to material possessions. A sign indicating you have a home alarm system is a major deterrent. If you have a security system, have your alarm company install a portable remote control panic button. Also, make sure your front door has a 360-degree viewing peephole so you can know who is outside before you open the door. Remember lights, locks and trimmed shrubbery are wonderful security aids.

High Wind Warning!

After all the high winds we have had in our valley recently, I wanted to remind everyone of the importance of tree maintenance to help keep all the trees healthy and standing upright. A tree blowing over in the wind is not considered a warranty issue and is a home owner maintenance item. Trees require the correct trimming and thinning to keep them healthy. A “top heavy” tree is more likely to get blown over, and to have the tree stakes broken. There are many landscapers who trim trees for a reasonable price if it's a task you don’t wish to tackle. Please do this at least once a year. The tree stakes used commonly need to be replaced at least once a year because the bottom gets wet from irrigation which weakens the stake over time and will allow it to be broken easier by the wind. Keep in mind the stakes are there to support the tree, but not to keep it from moving entirely. In fact, the tree needs to be able to move slightly with the wind to allow the roots to get stronger and support the tree better as it grows. A common practice is to use a tie-down or wire that keeps the tree from moving at all. The wire ties that go around the tree also need to be adjusted over time so the tree doesn't grow into the wire. Please keep our neighborhood looking beautiful by caring for your trees annually.

Summer Activitiesby Erica Hedlund, ChairEmergency Preparedness Committee

The Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC) would personally like to thank every donor who contributed so generously to our need for funds to purchase emergency medical supplies. With the total contributions of $661 we were able to purchase two large medical kits for the triage centers. Jean Homan and Susan Jaye, two qualified registered nurses experienced in emergency procedures, will staff the triage centers tentatively planned to be at the Montecito Clubhouse and/or the Shadows Restaurant. We were also able to purchase 15 smaller first aid kits to be placed at central locations in each neighborhood where residents could receive first aid for minor injuries. These kits contain a wide assortment of bandages, pads, gauze and tape, antiseptics, splints, pain medications, germicidal wipes, reusable hot/cold compresses, vinyl gloves, towelettes, antibiotic ointment packs, etc. We are still seeking residents experienced in first aid procedures to assist in a disaster. The EPC is now researching the cost and capabilities of generators which will be needed to power lights, air conditioning units, essential machines, etc., during an emergency. We need your generous donations to purchase these generators. This summer the EPC will concentrate on recruiting more Neighborhood Leaders and Street Leaders/Block Captains. Our goal is to contact every resident and provide him/her with the necessary information to prevent injury and sustain life in case of a disaster. We particularly need Leaders from all the new homes beyond the Montecito Clubhouse on both sides of Sun City Blvd.A Street Leader’s main responsibilities include (1) advising residents regarding appropriate preparations for emergency situations; (2) ascertaining residents’ special needs; (3) participating in CERT and other training exercises (4) assessing and advising the Neighborhood Leader regarding the needs of residents in the event of an emergency or disaster. A Neighborhood Leader’s responsibility is to keep his/her Street Leaders informed and on track and to coordinate operating procedures with the Incident Commander in the event of an emergency or disaster. REMINDER: Keep a large supply of water in your home, especially during June, July and August. Power outages occur. People do not die from the heat but rather from dehydration. Also, keep a supply of water in your vehicle, especially if you are traveling with very young or elderly people who are typically not sufficiently hydrated. Please call Erica Hedlund at 200-1939 if you are experienced in administering first aid and are willing to help in the event of a disaster or want to become a Street Leader or Neighborhood Leader. Your reward will be the satisfaction of helping others and working with an exceptional group of people dedicated to serving their community.

CREATIVE ARTSMarcia Gewelber 469-5258/Fred Ashley 772-0552We begin our new fiscal year with new officers. They are: Fred Ashley, President; PJ Nilson, Vice-President; Marcia Gewelber, Secretary; Ray Valle, Treasurer; and Bobbie Schafer, Parliamentarian. Those of us who are new officers are excited to actively participate in this great club. Those officers who have remained, have recommitted their talents to make this Creative Arts’ best year yet. In fact, we’ll be meeting in mid-June to schedule the balance of our events for the year. Once dates are set, you’ll be notified. Members, please bring a $10 check to your next meeting to carry your membership through the end of the year. Next year, our dues will be $20 annually. This will cover additional art expenses. Painters alert! Sharpen your paint brushes -- we’ve got at least three art shows in the works, and more in the planning. This summer will be a great time to rebuild your low inventories and add new art pieces to sell. Many members of Creative Arts are multi-talented – by that I mean, painting is not their only creative side. For example, Jerry Klenca, who paints lovely landscapes, many of European castles, is also a concert pianist, who majored in classical piano at the San Francisco Conservatory, and minored in voice. From his college days, when he’d rather paint his own pictures than plaster the walls with posters, to years of European travel, to teaching music, to joining our group, his love of painting and music has not paled. We promise to use his musical talents for a fund raiser we are planning.

Barbara Ashley will be the parliamentarian.

OKE-DOKIE KARAOKERichard Arnold 200-3500/[email protected] was an exciting month for Karaoke. We filled “Shadows” restaurant with standing room only. On May 8, resident Mike Lerner, sang a Frank Sinatra song “My Way” in memoriam to Ted Chain who passed away the first week in May. Ted loved to sing Frank Sinatra, and when he was feeling well would come to Karaoke and always sing a Sinatra favorite. We had the regulars sing their favorite songs, as well as several new residents who came to the microphone to sing. Our choral director, Karen Adamik, led the entire audience with group singing. A good time was had by all that attended. As in past years, Karaoke will be dark the summer months so watch the View to see when we will be returning with lots of new material and some fun evenings. Have a nice and cool summer.

PET CLUB Janice Dunn 200-9965 The season is coming to a close and our Pet Club meetings will cease until next fall when a new board will convene. As your

outgoing president, I want to thank the current board, the Pet Club members and the community for their support in initiating several programs and activities that fulfill the mission of the club and contribute to the benefit of our pets and pet parents. Our recent pet expo was a rousing success. We have received countless accolades from residents and pet owners and I want to thank the Expo committee and all who contributed to a fun filled day. The event attracted more than 20 vendors. We gave away over 50 free prizes and gift certificates. Also featured were interactive demonstrations with agility experts, the Riverside Search and Rescue Team and Fly-ball demos. Our first chipping clinic chipped nearly 60 pets, and we photographed over 30 to substantially increase the number of participants in our photo identification program. On behalf of the Pet Club, I want to wish you and your pets a wonderful summer. We will look forward to seeing both old and new members next fall.

PERFORMING ARTSCathie Riddle-Weiser 360-6711 Paul Runyon 469-3252Congratulations to all of the Performing Arts Club members for an incredibly successful year! Without the help of all the creative geniuses both on stage and behind stage and even in garages, building and painting sets, the club could not have accomplished so much!! Although the stage curtain is down for the summer, fun experiences are planned for the rest of 2008, starting at our September meeting on Wednesday, September 10 at 7pm. Mark your calendar! In late November, the Performing Arts Club is joining with the SCSH Community Singers to present a Broadway-style musical extravaganza with music and selected scenes from ‘Fiddler on the Roof, “Hello Dolly,” and “Guys and Dolls.” If you have an itch to sing, dance, act, direct, produce, paint, build, choreograph or design and sew costumes, come to our September meeting to learn all the details and join the show! Watch for announcements about auditions for this show and other activities. The Performing Arts Club is excited about our upcoming Season, and you are invited to catch the excitement by joining us! Meetings are held every second Wednesday of each month. Our next meeting is September 10. Annual dues are $10. For more information, call Paul at (760) 469-3252

RV CLUBCarol & Jack Dorler 200-3255The RV Club had a great trip to Aguanga over Memorial Day weekend. We spent four nights at the Outdoor Resort Rancho California near Temecula, where a few of us participated in a fishing tournament. No winners in our group, but we have some big “fish” stories to tell! A number of us take off in our RVs for the summer months, so our next trip will be in October to Pismo Coast Village in Pismo Beach. Jack Dorler 200-3255 or Cary Washburn 238-4232.

STITCH IN TIMEBarbara Graham 469-3529Another caring resident donated fabric and yarn to us, so we will definitely have to get busy with our charity quilts and blankets. Thank you, Lynda! During this hot weather it is nice to be in our beautiful, cool clubhouse as we work on our summer projects. Some of us are continuing to knit and crochet rectangles in different patterns using donated yarn to be made into blankets for charity. Making a rectangle doesn’t take much time and we enjoy seeing the many patterns we’ve created. The needlepointers, cross stitchers and embroiderers are busy making beautiful things to be made into pillows and framed pictures, and one of our quilters is making sunbonnet kids scenes to be made into a delightful child’s quilt. Our monthly field trips to visit yarn and fabric shops have been put on hold for the summer and our greeting card members are on vacation until the fall. Those of us who are in town still meet to work, chat and laugh together. We welcome visitors and new members, so drop by and see what we are doing. We quilt, scrapbook, bead, needlepoint, cross stitch, embroider, knit, crochet, make greeting cards, and do other crafts. Bring your handiwork in and have a good time while you work on it. We meet in the Cambria Room, Mondays, 12:30 – 3:00 p.m. and welcome new members. If you need help or a refresher we are happy to assist you. Donations of fabric and yarn are welcome.

TENNISSally Yates 834-8909June is our month to change the ruling body of the club. We want to thank members of the previous board for their great service. Thanks to Judy Chow who served as President the first half of the year and did an outstanding job of keeping us organized. A special thanks to Angela Fiori who took over the presidency mid year and finished up the year despite unexpected medical problems. Remaining on the Board are: George Curny as Treasurer; Charlie Best, Attendance Chair; Mary Ann Baker, Events Committee Chair, getting the Ladder on board, will continue the ladder, becoming Vice President next year, Past Secretary Keron Gustafson turns the job over to Pat Napoles. The club has had one of our own pass away. David Mettler died unexpectedly May 24 of an Aneurysm The club sent condolences to his wife Judy and family in the way of flowers and a card, but if anyone wants to send a personal card, the address is 80723 Camino Santa Elise. Although seemingly the vast majority of club members are escaping to “higher ground” dodging our “warm” desert summer, thus slowing our activities to a snails pace, we will continue with our typical drop in days, We will officially open up for business as usual in October. In the mean time we wish everyone a wonderful (and safe) summer. Have fun and come back ready to do some big time tennis when you return to Shadow Hills life.
