Tips from the Country Club Stuart Smith – PGA Director of Golf

Driving the Ball Farther

We all want to hit the ball farther. In many instances, we attempt to do so by strengthening our muscles and trying to “force” distance by hitting the ball harder. This technique actually slows the club down.

To hit the ball farther, we need more clubhead speed. The smaller muscle groups (arms, hands, wrists) must remain relaxed and tension free to generate this speed. The goal should be swinging the club faster – not harder. Remember, the golf ball is merely a highlighted object in the path of the swing – we should be swinging through the ball and not at it.

Adult Programs All programs listed are for members of The Club at Town Center unless otherwise noted.

Adult Pick-Up Basketball

Tuesdays & Thursdays, 7:30–9 pm Join us weekly for a friendly game of pick-up basketball. You’ll improve your game, meet new people and fit in a workout too. Pickup basketball is for adults only, ages 18 and up. We hope to see you there!

vorite a f r u o y What's lloween? a H f o t r pa

Trick-or-Treat Tips HALLOWEEN NIGHT • Trick or Treaters are usually roaming the neighborhoods from 5:00–9:00 p.m. on October 31.

Ethan Beach (age 9) I like dressing up in a costume.

• Please drive slowly and be careful at intersections— there are witches and ghouls everywhere!

• Make sure your porch and walkway is well lit. It lets the kids know you are there to greet them and it keeps everyone safe.

• Get in the spirit...put a costume on yourself and make it fun for the kids!

• After 9:00 p.m. dispose of your pumpkins so the goblins don’t get them.

Olivia Beach (age 4) I like eating the candy.

For Trick or Treaters • Carry glowsticks and flashlights.

• Wear comfortable shoes and a costume that fits so you can move easily.

Jordan Essa (age 4)

My favorite things about Halloween are ghosts, bats, and trick-or-treating (especially the treats).

• Make a plan and know where you are going. Stick together as a group, but carry identification in case you get separated.

• If an entryway is dark, they are probably not home so skip it.

• Check your candy before you eat it. Make sure the wrapper has not been tampered with.

comparative market analysis (CMA) is an evaluation of similar, recently sold homes (called comparables) that are near a home intended to be bought or sold. Comparative market analyses establish the current market value of the home and are prepared by real estate agents. A comparative market analysis is not the same as an appraisal, which is performed by a licensed appraiser.

Northern Sierra Endurance Training

SET is a Nonprofit Corporation and operates only on tax deductible donations. Any funds accumulated throughout the year are donated to other nonprofit organizations.

“Training with NSET is a great way to meet your personal fitness goals, whether it be qualifying for the Boston Marathon or just living a healthy life style. Being a supporter of NSET provides the opportunity to help local families in need and vital youth programs that need additional support.

It’s a great way to give back to the community” says Jim Harvey, president of NSET. NSET was started in 2008 by Toni Belaustegui, Eric Beye and Ski Pisarski. They did so to help patients in dire need due to medical difficulties and provide a training environment for free for all runners, walkers, cyclists and triathletes. They had been coaching for a national level non profit for the previous 12.5 years and had helped raise nearly two million dollars for this nonprofit, and saw less than $5,000 come back to patients of the Northern Sierra Area. They wanted to have a true nonprofit (we have no paid employees and no expenses) that could help local

people in need and keep all the funds in “our community”.

Secondarily, they wanted to help local youth running and athletic endeavors to pro they a healthy life for our youth.

Since their inception NSET has granted over $104,000 back to the community. With over 650 currently on their email list, notices are sent out regularly.

There is no fundraising requirement to train with NSET. We do offer any athlete the opportunity to raise funds for specific charities or other nonprofit causes. This function can be made available to any athlete upon request, and will be handled by our Financial Committee for DonationGrants/Sponsorships-Fundraising. To find out more go to: www.nset1.org.

T

ony Fakonas lives in Somersett by accident. He and wife Debby, had never considered Nevada for their retirement years until they took a random drive in the summer of 2006.

The couple had believed they would find the perfect retirement home inland in California or return to the Midwest – but one drive through Somersett and they fell in love with the community.

Then the race was on to find a home. Tony and Debby considered and twice almost purchased a home in Sierra Canyon – but the deals never quite came together. They kept driving neighborhoods and toured multiple houses both in and outside of Sierra Canyon. Late one afternoon at the end a long day of viewing houses, they visited one last home in Copper Knolls. As soon as they walked in and saw the yard and mountain views through the large windows, they both knew without any doubts that they were “home”.

Living here has been “better than they ever imagined” for many reasons. Reno leaves behind the hassle of the big city while providing beautiful surroundings, colorful seasons, and clean air and water. Big time lovers of theatre, Tony and Debby enjoy the Broadway Series at the Pioneer, University of Nevada shows, and several smaller theaters such as Bruka and Reno Little Theater, not to mention the ad hoc hotel offerings. They also take advantage of all the summer events including ArtTown, Hot August Nights, and baseball at the Aces stadium.

Tony was born in St. Louis, grew up in Phoenix, and went to undergraduate school in Irvine, CA, where he completed his bachelor degree in physics. He completed his master’s in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Illinois in Urbana and went on for a MBA from the University of Chicago. With this background, it is no wonder that Tony gravitated to volunteering for the Somersett Board of Directors.

His first interaction with the SOA board was voicing a complaint over a storage issue down at the Town Center. “But I felt that if I wasn’t willing to do something, then I had no right to complain,” Tony says. He volunteered for the Transition Committee tasked with planning for the move from the developer to the homeowner board.

Subsequently, he ran for the Board to help with the implementation of that plan.

“It has not been an easy transition,” he says, taking at least 10–15 hours a week of work, and often many more. “We had to dig below the surface and determine what we needed and wanted long term for this community. At the same time, the SOA faced numerous legal issues which occupied much of the board’s time for the first two years. “Thankfully, most of those are behind us now,” says Tony, “although just when you think you have finished, something new seems to always pop up. I think that’s an unfortunate reality of living in such a large, diverse community.” Through it all, Tony took a significant role in putting together the strategic agreement with the Somersett Country Club, settling the Moana Suit, and serving as 26

Board President since homeowners first took over control of the SOA at the start of 2013.

“I really think we are now heading in the right direction, although many challenges remain,” Tony expresses. This year Tony has focused the board on setting priorities for long term growth including: Planning for new amenities, Increasing communications with homeowners, Ensuring Somersett addresses the drought, and Increasing oversight of service providers.

To relax, Tony indulges his two passions – tinkering with old cars and woodworking, especially using a wood lathe. Tony and Debby have two children. Jim recently earned a PhD from Cal Tech and now lives in Eastern Tennessee. Kate graduated from Purdue and is a toy designer for Hasbro in its Rhode Island headquarters. And in early November they will add another joy to their lives – a granddaughter.

23rd Annual Donner Party Hike

Provides Hikers with Spectacular Sierra Nevada Scenery Combined with Interesting History

H

ikers can travel the footsteps of early emigrant’s journey across the Sierra Nevada mountains October 3 & 4 by participating in the 23rd Annual Donner Party Hike.

Participants can choose from six different hikes on Saturday, and a walking tour on Sunday. All hikes offer interesting insight into emigrant history from local area guides, along with invigorating recreation and beautiful scenery.

Saturday’s hikes begin and end at Donner Ski Ranch located on Highway 40 on Donner Summit. Guides will lead groups of approximately 10–20 people to interpretive spots giving detailed historical information focused on emigrant and area history. In the afternoon, hikers will enjoy a hamburger lunch, music by Richard Blair and a presentation. On Saturday evening in collaboration with Sierra State Parks Foundation we will have an evening with Bill Oudegeest talking about his new book “Walking Through Donner Summit History”.

There are six hike options of varying length offered on Saturday. Explore the Dutch Flat Donner Lake Wagon Road and 1913 Corridor Lincoln Highway with views of petroglyphs, old roadside billboards and the China Wall. Hike up Roller Pass and Mt. Judah to see where wagon trains were winched up over the granite. Discover pristine High Sierra Lakes or explore Coldstream Canyon. New this year... the return of the Railroad Snowsheds hike. Each hike offers a unique and memorable experience.

Sunday starts with a more relaxed walking tour departing from the Donner Camp Picnic Area, located on 2.5 miles north of Truckee on Highway 89. Following the walking tour where guides will detail the Donner Party’s encampment, participants will drive to Donner Memorial State Park to hear more about the Donner Party, the Pioneer Monument, visit the Murphy’s Cabin Site, and enjoy entrance to the all new visitor center offering a historical movie about the Donner Party.

Space is limited for all events and reservations are required. Early registration for the Saturday hikes is $45 ($50 after September 28, 2015 per hiker) and includes a guided hike, commemorative hiking hat, hamburger lunch and afternoon presentation. Sunday’s walking tour is part of a two day package and includes the guided walk and entrance to the visitor center. 2-day hike package is $60 ($65 after September 28, 2015).
