By: Buffy Lewis, Association Manager Each month when I sit down to write my article, I am amazed that another month has passed us by so quickly. This summer has been one full of many projects around the community. I wanted to thank you all for your patience during our ongoing projects. The Springwood pool renovation turned out very lovely, along with our tennis court resurfacing. Soon, we will have a beautiful new awning added to the snack bar at the San Tan facility, and the Pickleball lights are up and shining! It’s been exciting seeing so many great additions to our community this summer. Our friends who have been away for the summer should all be pleasantly surprised when they return. Often times I send out reminders to all of you on various items, including watching out for our pedestrians, bicyclers, joggers and

Paper Recycling A Word from the Communications Committee

By: Dick Simmon Let’s all remember to bring our newspapers, junk mail, used computer paper, flattened cardboard, etc., to the RECYCLING BIN between the HOA Office and the Auditorium.

since August 2012, Linda and Rich Carey moved to Arizona from LaGrange, Illinois (a Chicago suburb). In LaGrange, Rich taught health education and sports medicine from 1976 to 2005 at Lyons Township High School. He was a certified and licensed athletic trainer for the school’s teams. Linda, from 1986-2001, did home care and hospice at LaGrange Memorial Health Care and Hospice. From 2001-2007, she was a case manager for Aging Care Connection Senior Center. They started visiting Arizona in the summer of 1995 to visit SSV residents Ray and Marilyn Baldner. Marilyn had taught with Rich at the high school. Linda currently volunteers at the Activities Office usually on Fridays but also when needed to fill in. She also serves on the committee for the Midwest States Party. She enjoys woodworking, wood refinishing, and

Men’s Breakfasts and is part of the Village Voices and the Chapel Choir. During his spare time, he sings Barbershop for the Mesa Lamplighters Chorus including participating in quartets doing singing valentines. He has collections of stamps, movies, and DVDs. Born in Pierre, South Dakota, Linda moved to Seattle at age five. She received her B.A. in human services and psychology from National Louis University in Wheaton, Illinois. Rich hails originally from Aberdeen, Washington. He graduated from Aberdeen’s Grays Harbor Junior College and the University of Washington in Seattle. He obtained his M.S. from Penn State in physical education with an emphasis on health. Married for 38 years, the Careys don’t have any two-legged children. Rich instead became a set of ears for his student athletes to come and talk about their problems. The Careys remain in contact with at least 25 former students and have attended 83 weddings of those he helped. The Careys thoroughly enjoy being parents to their four-legged daughter, Holly, the cat.

scooters, while driving around in our community. It is easy to breeze through a stop sign just out of familiarity, but it is important that all vehicles, including golf carts, observe our stop signs. Above all, children under the age of 16 should not be operating/driving a golf cart in the community. Our monsoon season is definitely upon us. Wind, blowing dust and rain, affects our community in different ways. Please let the office know if you encounter any damage to our landscaping, so we can report it to our landscape company right away. These storms can cause a lot of mayhem, so please let us know if there is anything that needs immediate attention. The rain is going to bring out the weeds in your yards, so please get out there and treat your yards as soon as possible. I hope everyone has an amazing August!

There are over 2,000 homeowners here producing a lot of waste paper that could be recycled. This would be an easy and painless way to procure more funds to spend on Sunland Springs improvements. LET’S ALL PITCH IN THE BIN

Jim Hazel

Jim Hazel, president of the Karaoke Club, has lived at SSV since 2005. He is an octogenarian who gives new meaning to the term “active senior adult.” Since 2001 Jim has been a substitute math and science teacher at least 100 days a school year mostly at Skyline High School. “I truly love teaching,” Jim said, “because the need is there for students to awaken themselves to their own potential. Some of them just need a push.” Born in Niagara Falls, New York, Jim lived with his family in Western New York until a move to Mesa in 1992. After serving with the U.S. Army 1952-1955, Jim attended and graduated with a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree from Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York. He also has received a Certificate of Management from the University of Pittsburgh. In the Western New York area, near Buffalo, he worked in multiple positions in industrial operations and technical manage-

ment. He has obtained a number of patents for industrial coated substrates. He has numerous accomplishments in the fields of statistics and math. In 1997 he retired as a chemical engineer from Olin Electrochemical Corp. In his spare time, Jim extensively reads on American history and the U.S. Constitution. He is a student of the American Civil War, owning more than 100 volumes about this subject in his library. He has visited and studied numerous battle sites. Jim considers marrying Marilyn, his wife of 53 years, his greatest achievement. Marilyn keeps busy with the Computer Club, Karaoke Club, and women’s luncheons. The Hazels enjoy traveling and have taken cruises to South America, Europe, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Panama Canal. They have planned an extensive European cruise for this fall. They have three sons and six grandchildren. “My pride and joy, of everything in my life, are Marilyn and my three sons,” Jim said.

Home security: It begins with you and your neighbor. By Ed Leahy, Chairman, HOA Security Committee Our HOA Home Security Program is made up of three elements: 1. The Mesa Police. 2. A paid security company. 3. A Mesa Police Neighborhood Watch Program built on the fundamental principal that when neighbors look out for neighbors, we can improve our home security. If we all keep a sharp eye on each other’s homes when any of us are away, we can help keep things from happening. We can take door hangers off each other’s door knobs, newspapers out of driveways, or any other tell-tale sign that no one is home. The simple fact is, a vast majority of break-ins occur when nobody is home. This neighborly security program should

have special appeal for seasonal visitors who are away from the community for months at a time, and anyone when they are simply away on vacation. More importantly, while you are at home, keep your garage door closed. Never leave your car in your driveway with the keys in the ignition or with valuables visible on the car seat. In fact, never leave your keys in your ignition or valuables on the seat--even in the garage and the door is down. What is more, if you do not have a security screen door, consider getting one. Standard front doors have been known to be kicked in by intruders. The Neighbors Looking Out for Neighbors Community Watch is most effective when we all participate.

Activities/Sports Chapel Tidings By Springs Chapel Board Springs Chapel offers Sunland Springs Village residents a Christian community worship service each Sunday at 9:00 AM in the Auditorium followed by a coffee and fellowship hour. Communion is offered the first Sunday of each month. This is a non-denominational, Bible-based ministry. Pastor Anthony Bryant and Pastor Lanny Barringer serve as its pastors. Residence in Sunland Springs Village is not a condition for attendance or membership – everyone is welcome to attend regardless of place of residence. Services continue throughout the summer months. While not a full-fledged church, Springs Chapel does offer opportunities to participate in a mixed choir, men’s and women’s breakfasts, Christian women’s reading groups, and special social events sponsored by the Chapel.

The choir does not practice or perform during the summer months but will resume in the fall. Chapel men’s and women’s groups meet once a month on Thursday mornings. For further information on these groups, contact Bud Dighton at 480-380-7733 (Men’s Group) or Julia Hoon at 509-679-8009 (Women’s Group). The Women’s Reading Groups meet once a month. Contact person for the reading group is Sylvia Hansen (480-984-4347). Special events are coordinated by Tony and Donna Mills (480-946-7344). “God is our refuge and strength, an everpresent help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging”. “Selah” Psalm 46:1-3 NIV

Just Breathe By: Christine K. Marcus Focusing on your breath is a major part of a YOGA class. Learn to connect the breath with movement -- creating meditation in motion. YOGA is a great way to stretch, tone, tune into your body and connect the mind, body and spirit. Exercise is an incredibly valuable part of a healthy lifestyle. “If you want to be peaceful, live in the

now” according to Gaiam. YOGA encourages us to be present-minded. Come enjoy YOGA in August....relax, strengthen, breathe. We meet Monday and Wednesday mornings at 8:30 in the Auditorium. Cost is $3.50 per class. Class is from 8:45 - 10:00 AM. If you have questions, please contact Christine by email: [email protected]

Community Bible Study

Pickleball

By: Ardella Burtman A community Bible study is held every Friday morning at 9 AM in the Springs Card Room. The Bible study is open to anyone who wishes to attend and is not restricted solely to residents of Sunland Springs Village. This is an interdenominational study, open to men and women. There is no charge and no book to buy – the Bible is the study guide with use of commentaries by trusted Christian writers. Bring any translation of the Bible you prefer to use. The sessions continue throughout the summer months. Beginning the second week of August Sylvia Hansen will lead the group in a study of the Parables. You are invited to join the Bible study group for its Friday Bible studies. Obviously, for various reasons, not everyone can attend every Friday; and even though there is some building of content one session on the next, in a sense, each session stands alone. If you have any questions about the Bible study, please call Ardella Burtman at 480.993.3102. “This is why I speak to them in parables: Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.” Matthew 13:13 NIV

By Karen Copeland The Pickleball Club recently added another improvement -- lighted courts! The inaugural games were played on Saturday night, July 12. Players from nearby parks were invited to help celebrate the new lighting. Everyone enjoyed the new experience and all are very excited about being able to play Pickleball on summer evenings, when it is cooler. Playing under the lights in the winter months, when it gets dark so early, is something to which we will look forward. Anyone interested in learning more about Pickleball may contact Mitch Johnson at (602) 740-2446. Introductory lessons are available Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7:30 to 9:30 AM by appointment. Check out our web page at ssvhoa.com/pickle-ball.html for more helpful information. Tip of the Month: GETTING BACK INTO POSITION - When your partner is pulled out of position by a well-placed shot on the edge of the court, your responsibility is to move to the middle of the court and to cover the court until he/she can get back. When that partner gets back in position, quickly move back to your side of the court. Also, try to slow the game down by hitting the ball soft and low, giving your out-of-position partner time to get return to their proper position.

Computer Club

By Pat Miller, President We are happy to see the great attendance at our summer sessions, especially the new faces. We hope everyone will join us as we begin our new season on October 1, 2014. This summer we have covered topics on both PC and Apple products via instructional videos, followed by individual and group breakout sessions. All residents are welcome to our summer meetings. No attendance is taken or fees collected. We do ask that you wear your nametag however. Bring your laptop, tablet or phone and someone should be able to answer any questions you may have. We can help on almost any issue or device. Please contact our Vice President in charge of Programs, Diana Grubb (510-673-0248), or me, Pat Miller, President (602-321-6619), with your questions or problems. If we know ahead of time, we will attempt to have someone available to help. We hope to see you on the first and third Wednesdays for the rest of the summer. During the summer season we meet at 10:00 AM in the Superstition Room -- that will be August 6 and 20.

By: Bob and Ginny Gray, www.ssvhoa.com/ terra-travel, 480-986-2331, [email protected] We just returned from summer adventures starting with the International Barbershop Chorus Contest in Vegas where Spirit of Phoenix placed 16th in the world. From Vegas we traveled to the Northwest where we spent time with family and friends, and then drove back via the coast highway so we could enjoy the beautiful scenery. We never get tired of watching the ocean, eating seafood, or stopping in the quaint little towns along

Vagabond Club News - Trips & Tips the way. We are so blessed and happy to be home in Arizona. Most of us receive mailers from Cruise Lines and/or Tour Companies which display unbeatable specials. Did you know that if you bring in the flyer with the “promo code” and let us book the trip for you through Terra Travel, you get the special price and the Enhancement Fund gets commission? How awesome is that! The Hot August Nights are here, and that’s a good time to start making plans for

your next trip with your friends. Wayne and Judith Konz have the Canadian Rockies by Motor Coach and Rail tour, and their ten or twenty Day Caribbean Cruise in January of 2015. Also check out the Ama Waterways River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest on June 10, 2015. We have just added a group tour with Collette for ten (10) days, nine (9) nights, “Heritage of America” September 25 to October 4, 2015.

TIP: Carry On Bag size change: Three major airlines — American, Delta, and United -- have reduced the size of an acceptable carry-on bag. The new regulation size is 22 inches long by 14 inches wide and 9 inches high, skimming a collective 5 inches from the old size limit of 24 X 16 X 10-inch.

Sunland Springs Village Homeowners Association Minutes of the Meeting Superstition Room June 24, 2014 The meeting was called to order by HOA Manager Buffy Lewis at 9:35 AM. She announced that an error had occurred on the Financial Summary May 31, 2014, and it would be amended. She also stated that the Springwood Pool looks wonderful and the work is proceeding with the interior restrooms being painted, beautiful tiles in some places in the pools, new landscaping. The work is ahead of schedule and the pool will be open no later than July 4, 2014. Ms. Lewis also stated that the pickleball lighting was in progress. The poles are manufactured locally but the lights are not. They will be going up soon. The benches for the Pet Park need to be assembled and concrete pads poured. She is working closely with Mo Serva on the placement of the benches. Ms. Lewis’ next project will be the budget for the 2015 year. The Cox revenue share will be shown on the June Financial statement, and she is in negotiations for a good price on propane. The landscaping was pruned severely, and it is already growing back. Mr. Jeff Decker, Vice President of the HOA, reported that sales are continuing with a few each week in Golf III and the Town Homes. The fence is up around Copperwood where 11 homes may be built,

they last with golf course views. Phase 8 will be a few more weeks before building can begin, but they already have nine lots reserved. He said that no new models would be built. He also reported that the Fry’s Marketplace proposed for the northwest corner of Signal Butte and Guadalupe will be coming sooner rather than later. It should not take more than a year to get the site done. Nothing to report on the other two corners, but the road will have to be widened. In response to a question about Guadalupe being connected to Meridian, Mr. Decker stated that it would some day. There are several government agencies involved: Pinal County, Maricopa County, Apache Junction, and theArmy Corps of Engineers. In closing, Mr. Decker stated that the Tennis Courts, the Springwood Pool and the landscaping have improved our Village. It is good to have these expenses paid for out of the reserves and still maintain a balance in excess of $1,000.000. There being no further business to come before the assembly, the meeting adjourned at 9:45 AM. Respectfully submitted, Jane E. Harrel Recording Secretary
