MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT PEGGY DETARANTO

CELEBRATE FRIENDSHIP AND WELLNESS THIS AUGUST

The ﬁrst Sunday in August is National Friendship Day—a perfect time to recognize what makes Sun City Aliante so special. We are a welcoming community, and with our wide variety of amenities, classes, seminars, activities, and special events, there are plenty of opportunities to make new friends.

If you haven't been to the Community Center in a while, now's a great time to stop by Check out the two ﬂyers included with this issue of The Breeze—you might ﬁnd a favorite activity to revisit or discover something new to try. The clubs I've gotten to know are friendly and always willing to help newcomers feel comfortable and learn the ropes. Honestly, the hardest part is just remembering everyone's name!

Speaking of the Community Center, I recently came across a reminder of how much we've grown. The expansion completed in fall 2020 added 3,500 square feet and remodeled an additional 3,000 square feet. And back in 2013, we added 8 pickleball courts—an exciting update, especially now that pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the U.S. These improvements show that Sun City Aliante isn't standing still. We're a community that evolves and invests in the future, making this a great place to live.

August is also National Wellness Month—a good time to take advantage of all the ways we can stay active. Whether it's pickleball, tennis, a ﬁtness class, the gym, a walk or bike ride around the community or on nearby trails, there's something for everyone. Right now, the pool area is undergoing a refresh, and I know many residents are looking forward to diving back in once it reopens.

As we ease out of July—the hottest month in Las Vegas—I, for one, am looking forward to slightly cooler temperatures. In the meantime, take care of yourself, stay hydrated, and most of all—be friendly and stay well!

HELP US TO BUILD COMMUNITY SPRIRIT

As summer winds down and families return from vacations, it's the perfect time for Sun City Aliante to continue building our community spirit with engaging post-summer activities. While the long, hot days may be behind us, the early fall season still oﬀers great weather and p l e n

reconnect. Hosting casual events like outdoor m

"welcome back" block party can help ease the transition from summer fun to the busy routines of fall.

The calendar of events here at Sun City Aliante are second to none. Community events after summer are not only a great way to stay social but also help foster a sense of belonging. Small neighborhood events like block parties or dog-walking meetups can bring people together without requiring extensive planning or budget. These small, inclusive events go a long way in strengthening neighborhood bonds. So, whether you come by the community center to workout, or work on making friends, join in on the fun.

As an HOA, our role is to support a vibrant and connected community year-round. By taking part in post-summer activities, we show that the spirit of summer doesn't have to end just because the calendar says so. Whether it's a game night in the community center, or a fall gardening workshop, keeping the momentum going helps create a neighborhood where people feel welcome, involved, and proud to call Sun City Aliante their home.

I have spoken to several residents that have served on HOA boards in the past. I would like to encourage them to join a committee. These ind

budgeting, and communication, oﬀering a practical perspective that c

knowledge can guide decision-making, ensuring that we remain aligned with the association's long-term goals and values. Firsthand knowledge of past challenges, successful initiatives, and community expectations helps us implement what has worked and avoid repeating mistakes.

I encourage those with interest, even if you think you may not have a great portion of time, to please consider serving on a committee. Your continued involvement whether as mentors, advisors, or active p

community. By getting involved, we strengthen our path forward with a foundation built on experience, accountability, and shared commitment to the neighborhood's well-being.

Wishing you a great fun-ﬁlled August!

FROM THE DESK OF THE AGM

I hope everyone is staying cool and ﬁnding ways to enjoy the summer weather! I wanted to take a moment to share some friendly updates and helpful reminders to keep our community safe, welcoming, and connected.

As I mentioned in my last article, we've been work

join—and I'm excited to let you know that the option to call in remotely is now up and running! Our ﬁrst meeting with this option was the July 9, 2025 Board Meeting, and we're happy to continue oﬀering it moving forward. Whether you're traveling, feeling a little under the weather, or just prefer to listen in from home, this makes it easier than ever to stay informed.

You'll ﬁnd the call-in details on the agenda, which is sent out via eblast before each meeting.

If you're calling in and would like to speak during the Homeowner Open Forum, here's how it works: The ﬁrst forum at the beginning of the meeting is for agenda items only, and the second forum at the end is for any topics you'd like to bring up Just press *5 on your phone to raise your hand, and when it's your turn, we'll unmute you. We ask that comments be kept to three minutes or less and that you kindly share your ﬁrst and last name and address before speaking. This helps keep the meetings smooth and respectful for everyone.

On the safety side, it's been noticed that some address lights around the neighborhood have faded or stopped working. These lights are so helpful for emergency responders, delivery folks, and visitors trying to ﬁnd your home—especially after dark. Please take a moment to make sure your address light is bright and working well.

And speaking of safety, a quick reminder that all pets need to be on a leash when you're in the common areas. It keeps everyone safe and makes sure our community stays friendly for both people and pets.

We've also had a few violations lately because of tree suckers—those little shoots that pop up from the base or roots of trees. They might seem harmless, but they actually take water and nutrients away from your tree, which can hurt or even kill it over time. If you spot any, removing them early will help keep your trees healthy and prevent violations.

Thank you for contributing to what makes Sun City Aliante such a great community Stay cool and take care!

Warm regards,

In Your Own Back Yard

If you would rather stay close to home, the calendar is full of communitybased activities, including:

• Lunch & Learn or Snack & Learn educational seminars.

• Over 44+ Chartered Clubs and Special Interest Groups.

• Exceptional variety of ﬁtness programs.

• Box Oﬃce Movies.

• Music Bingo.

• Solving jigsaw puzzles.

Something to Consider

The best things in life are not things at all. They are experiences lived, emotions felt, and connections made. These are the moments that sparkle in our memory and enrich our lives in ways no object ever could.

Have a safe and relaxing Labor Day Weekend!

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Residents,

The heat of summer is in full swing. That's why it is a great idea to head out early to enjoy activities such as tennis, pickleball or hiking. Summer also brings us an abundance of delicious fruits and vegetables in grocery stores, farmer's markets and at nearby Gilcrease Orchard, right here in our neighborhood.

The Orchard is a “hidden treasure” where you can harvest fresh fruits and vegetables from the field, off the tree or from the vine. You will see and taste the difference. The Orchard is located nearby at 7800 N Tenaya, and there is no entrance fee.

Plan to get up early

em! The facility is open on

1 0 a m Come early for the best parking. They suggest you drive from N. Rainbow and turn onto Whispering Sand Dr

You can even enjoy a delicious breakfast before heading out to the ﬁeld. I suggest you bring a hat, gloves, shears and something to carry your produce (perhaps a backpack or small wagon).

Right now, they are oﬀering watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and squash, eggplant, onions, herbs, peaches, apples and more.

Do you want to stay informed about which delicious produce items are ready for the picking? Just go to the website www.thegilcreaseorchard.org for details and sign up for their weekly newsletter to receive updates on what foods are coming into season.

In the spirit of delicious eating, I wanted to share this special summer salad I found in an article by Karla Walsh,” Kate Middleton's Watermelon Salad Has 2 Unexpected Additions That Make It a Hit”, published in The Better Homes & Gardens, June 28, at https://www.bhg.com/kate-middleton-watermelonsalad-11756430 (Check it out!)

According to Walsh, “It doesn't appear that the Princess of Wales has oﬃcially conﬁrmed that this is her recipe (yet), but Express UK and Women's Health UK reported in 2022 that 'watermelon salads are a staple of Kate's lunches, and include juicy pink watermelon mixed with avocado, onion, cucumber, and feta cheese—the perfect mix of sweet and savory.”

Here is the simple recipe: 3 cups cubed watermelon, 1 English cucumber chopped, 1 chopped avocado, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1 bunch chopped mint, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 lime, 2 tbs apple cider vinegar, and salt & pepper In a large bowl, add all of the above ingredients. Toss and adjust salt and pepper as needed and enjoy!

Get out of the heat and enjoy our many seminars in the Community Center oﬀered during August. They include Sleep Better, Improve Energy, Improve Metabolism on August 4; Understanding Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia on August 21, Creative Aging on August 22, Landscaping Tips –Trees, Plants and Flowers That Will Thrive in a Hot Climate on August 28 and much more.

If you have any questions, please email me at twilliamson@suncityaliante.us or call 702-429-1623.

Enjoy August ~ Stay cool and drink plenty of water.

COUNCILMAN RICHARD CHERCHIO

This summer has already brought some exciting milestones to our city and I'm proud to share a few highlights with you that reﬂect our continued growth and commitment to the future of North Las Vegas.

Earlier this month, I had the honor of joining Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown and Mayor Pro Tem Scott Black at the groundbreaking for the new Las Vegas A's Stadium. As someone who's loved baseball my whole life, standing on the site of what will become a Major League ballpark was a real thrill. But what truly matters is what this project brings to our residents.

skilled local workforce is well-prepared for. It will also attract millions of visitors to the region, generating new customers for our local businesses including restaurants, hotels and retail. Just as importantly, it gives our youth

working behind the scenes in sports, playing on the ﬁeld one day or simply enjoying a game with family, this stadium is a game-changer for our city.

I also want to take a moment to recognize another exciting development for our residents — the Tufa Trail project in the Eglington Preserve. Thanks to a public-private partnership between the City of North Las Vegas, the National Park Service and the Villages Master Developer, along with a $70,000 grant secured by Protectors of Tule Springs, this trail is soon to be under construction. Once completed, it will be the ﬁrst fully interpreted and ADAaccessible trail within the Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument and will eventually connect to a future North Las Vegas park.

These two projects may look very diﬀerent on the surface but they share something important The

opportunities. And they both reﬂect our ongoing eﬀorts to make North Las Vegas a place where people feel connected, inspired and proud to call home.

I also want to share an incredible opportunity for women looking to build a future in the trades. Nevada Women in Trades (NVWIT) is currently accepting applications for its Pipeline Comprehensive Course (PCC) PreApprenticeship Program, a six-week, 30-hour-a-week training that prepares women for successful careers in high-demand skilled trades.

This program provides individual coaching, mentoring, certiﬁcations in OSHA, CPR and Forklift Operator Awareness, along with test prep and hands-on skills needed to enter a paid apprenticeship. To learn more about Nevada Women In Trades (NVWIT), please visit www.NevadaWIT.org or call 702-801-6591.

As always, I want you to know that these messages are never just about passing along news. I've been part of this community for many years and I see so many of you not as constituents but as friends and neighbors. If you ever want to talk, share an idea or just catch up, I'm always available by email at cherchior@cityofnorthlasvegas.com. I also invite you to sign up for my newsletter if you'd like to stay in touch and hear more about what's happening around our great city.

Warmly,

Councilman Richard Cherchio Ward 4

COMMITTEE NEWS

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

At our recent Neighborhood Watch meeting, we discussed several things that we all should know but it never hurts to be reminded of.

• Don't leave garage door remotes in your car A recent burglary occurred because a garage door remote was left in a vehicle, the car was broken into, and the thieves went to the victim's home and broke in.

• Part two of this story occurred when insurance and registration papers were left in the glove box giving the thief the exact address and with the remote the means of entry. If you chose to leave those documents in your glove box, at least black out your address. Another option is to keep them in your wallet and not in the vehicle.

Do you know how to turn off your water to the house…the yellow valve in the garage? You'd be surprised how many people don't. This is the photo of the lever to the valve and it's located on the inside wall of your garage. If you discover a leaking faucet, water softener, washing machine, etc., the first thing to do is turn off the water at that yellow handle and then call a plumber This valve should be turned off any time you go away from home for any period of time…whether it's a weekend, a week or a month.

Residents are always welcome at the Neighborhood Watch meetings. There will be no meeting in August, but you're invited to join us for the next meeting on September 18 at 4:30 p.m.

f uncertainties, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that bad things only

happen to me," we think, as we hear about home ﬁres, car accidents, health crises, and ﬁnancial woes that befall

consequences. Be prepared.

Smoke Alarms - Smoke alarms are essential for early ﬁre detection. Installation: Place smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home.

Maintenance: Test alarms monthly and replace batteries at least once a year.

Fire Extinguishers - Having ﬁre extinguishers in key areas of the home can help put out small ﬁres before they spread.

Types: Know the diﬀerent types (A, B, C) and their uses.

Placement: Keep extinguishers in the kitchen, garage, and near exits.

Fire Escape Plan - Every household should have a ﬁre escape plan that is practiced regularly.

Plan: Develop a plan with multiple exits and a designated meeting spot.

Practice: Conduct ﬁre drills to ensure everyone knows what to do.

Fire Prevention Tips and Best Practices

Electrical Safety - Avoid using damaged cords and overloading outlets. Hire professionals for electrical repairs and upgrades.

Kitchen Safety - Keep a ﬁre extinguisher accessible in the kitchen. Install a smoke alarm near the kitchen but not too close to avoid false alarms.

General Home Safety - Store ﬂammable materials safely Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children.

Seasonal Considerations - Take extra care during holidays with decorations and lights. Ensure proper use and maintenance of heating equipment during winter

What to Do in Case of a Fire

• If a ﬁre breaks out, prioritize safety and evacuation.

• Alert everyone in the home and evacuate immediately

• Use a pre-planned escape route.

• Call 911 from outside the home.

• Do not attempt to extinguish a large ﬁre yourself.

Fire safety is a critical aspect of home safety By understanding common fire hazards and implementing preventive measures, you can protect your home and loved ones from the devastating effects of fires. Take action today to ensure your home is safe from fire hazards.

DID YOU KNOW?

COMMUNITY CENTER - During your next visit to the Community Center, you have probably noticed a new initiative at the Front Desk. We're now asking all residents to check in, regardless of the reason for your visit. Whether you're grabbing a cup of coﬀee, attending a committee meeting, or participating in an event, your check-in matters.

This eﬀort allows the association to better understand how many residents use the Community Center and how our shared spaces are being utilized. Accurate visitor data helps management and the Board make informed decisions about resources, programming, and community planning.

Your cooperation in checking in supports the ongoing improvement and assessment of our community Thank you for helping us to better serve you!

FACTS ABOUT SAFEGUARDING YOUR HOME TITLE

Title to your property can't be stolen, but it can be clouded. Most causes of a cloud on your title are things like improper recording of past sales, liens being placed on the property, deceased person(s) listed on the deed, foreclosure, or ignoring an easement.

If your property is located in Clark County, you can sign up for the Recording Notification Service (RNS) It allows you to receive an email alert when a document is recorded against your property, name or parcel number. If someone records a document against your property, even documents that are legitimate, you will receive an email alert almost immediately – one of your Master Association Board members submitted a trust name change at the Tenaya Way Recorder's Office and he had an email alert waiting for him when he got home. With this kind of “no cost” response time, you definitely should feel very protected.

PROTECT YOUR HOME TITLE WITH RNS

The Clark County RNS allows individuals to receive an email alert when a document is recorded against a speciﬁc property, name or parcel number. Enrolling in the RNS takes four easy steps and requires basic information. For more information about the Clark County RNS, visit the website: ClarkCountyNV.gov/Recorder. You can also phone 702-455-2844.

When we age, it might take longer than normal to complete a task like cooking a familiar recipe, or getting used to a new form of technology. We may also lose keys or phone from time to time. That is also normal. Oftentimes, misplacing things comes from a lack of paying attention, not dementia.

NATIONAL DAYS

CELBRATING NATIONAL DAYS IN AUGUST

Whether it's a copper-colored penny coin with Abraham Lincoln's face on it, or a cool $100 bill sporting Benjamin Franklin, the currency of the United States is all based on the dollar And National Dollar Day is a great time to learn about and appreciate this ﬁne banknote.

History of National Dollar Day - Aug 8

August 8, as it is the anniversary of the

established that the money unit of the U

would be the dollar

1786 and, just six

United States Mint was established in 1792. The U.S. currency has been the dollar for more than 200 years since.

Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, laid the foundation for the U.S. monetary system. He argued for a national currency to stabilize the economy and boost public confidence. His detailed reports to Congress ultimately shaped the nation's first financial system.

Dollars originally started out as metal coins, including gold (worth $10), silver (worth $1) and copper (worth 1/100 of $1). Eventually, the U.S. mint began printing dollars on paper, almost 80 years later Although dollar coins are still in circulation, they are less popular than the paper version.

Today, the US dollar is the world's primary reserve currency It plays a vital role in international ﬁnance and trade, acting as both a medium of exchange as well as an indicator of value. National Dollar Day is the time to celebrate everything to do with the dollar!

Facts About Dollars

In 1862, the United States printed its ﬁrst dollar bill that featured Salmon P. Chase, President Lincoln's Secretary of Treasury.

Interestingly, the dollar bill in our pockets today hasn't changed for more than 50 years. While the $5, $10, $20, and $50 earned redesigns in recent years, the single remains unchanged. The highest dollar

However, the single doesn't pay attention to the more signiﬁcant notes see.

Dollars did not depict the portraits of American presidents until the late 19th century Prior to that, they had pictures of Roman and Greek mythology, as well as some Native American depictions. The only woman to ever appear on a U.S. paper bill is Martha Washington, the wife of the ﬁrst U.S. President, George Washington. As a symbol of the original 13 colonies, the $1 bills contain 13 arrows, 13 leaves, 13 stars, and 13 stripes.

National Dollar Day would be a particularly fun time to take a tour of a U.S. Mint. The original mint created in 1792 is the one that was started in Philadelphia. Now, there are four located throughout the country: P

California; and West Point, New York.

NATIONAL SENIOR CITIZENS DAY - August 21

On August 19, 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation

y According to the 2017 census, 47 million seniors live in the United States. By 2060, that number will nearly double. Their wealth of knowledge, skill, and experience offer so much to the next generation. As technologies advance, these are the people who've experienced each step of change. Not only have they contributed to it, but they understand first-hand the benefits and the drawbacks. They know life without the advancements that exist today.

By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it. ~ George Burns

Our senior citizens are the pioneers of science, medicine, psychology, civil rights, and so much more. Their valuable contributions to our communities create better places to live. They deserve the respect and dignity their achievements earn them. The day encourages supporting senior citizens to live their lives to the fullest and as independently as possible.

33 FRUITS AND VEGGIES YOU SHOULD REFRIGERATE — AND 7 YOU SHOULDN'T

Help your produce last as long as possible, with our list of where to store your produce—including what you should chill and what should be left on the counter.

There are quite a few contradicting ideas out there about how you should store your produce. Some keep their apples in the pantry instead of the fridge, some refrigerate whole pineapple, and others are fully against storing tomatoes anywhere but on the counter. But in some cases, it's not just a matter of personal preference—your produce will last longer and taste better if it's stored one way over another To help settle the debate once and for all (and help you reduce food waste), we put together instructions for storing some of the most controversial pieces of produce and included helpful lists so you'll know where to store all your fresh produce.

Tomatoes - We know there are differing opinions out there about where to keep your tomatoes, but (trust us) they belong in your pantry or on your counter When you store tomatoes in the fridge, they take on a mealy texture and lose some of their flavor. Whether you bring them home from the store or pull them off the vine in your backyard, tomatoes will stay juicier and tastier if you leave them out of the fridge.

Citrus Fruits - Leave your Lemons on the counter, and you'll have to restock sooner Lemons, Limes, and Oranges all do best in the fridge because the cooler temperature prevents them from drying out. They'll keep for up to two weeks when chilled and about one week at room temperature. If you're not a fan of cold fruit, you can leave your Lemons out on the counter for a couple hours before eating them. Additionally, you'll be able to squeeze out some extra juice if you reduce the chill ﬁrst.

Mushrooms – If you've ever brought home a container of mushrooms and left them on the counter for a few days before using them, you might be surprised to learn that they belong in the fridge. Except for Morel Mushrooms, which you should keep on the counter, unwashed mushrooms belong in the fridge in a paper bag, which will keep them from quickly going bad. If you want to leave them in their original container, remove the plastic wrap from the top ﬁrst to help prevent them from becoming slimy after a day or two.

Squash – When it comes to storing Squash, it all depends on which type you brought home. Winter Squash, like Acorn and Butternut Squash, should stay out of the fridge and be kept in a cool, dry place for up to two months (though once it's cut, leftovers should go into the fridge). Zucchini and Summer Squash, on the other hand, should go in

the fridge where they'll last up to four days. Make sure you clear out some extra space in your fridge before bringing in that bumper zucchini crop!

Fortunately, most fruits can go either way Apricots, Avocados, Star Fruit, Cantaloupe, H

, Papayas, Peaches, Nectarines, Plums, and Pears can all be stored on the counter or in the fridge. However, they won't ripen in the fridge, so we recommend storing them on the counter until they're ripe, then moving them to the fridge if you're not ready to eat them yet. If you use them as soon as they're ripe, there's no need to put them in the fridge at all. Storing fruit in the fridge won't make it last forever. In most cases, it'll buy you a couple of extra days to make that Avocado Toast or Peach Crisp.

Produce

to Keep in the Fridge

Skip the counter These veggies will stay fresh and last longer if you keep them in the fridge: Asparagus, Beans, Beets, Bok Choy, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliﬂower, Celery, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Fennel, Greens, Leeks, Mushrooms, Okra, Peas, Peppers, Root Vegetables (Turnips, Rutabagas, Parsnips), Spinach, Summer Squash/Zucchini.

These fruits will last longer in the fridge: Apples (They'll do best in the crisper drawer.), Berries, Cherries, Cranberries, Grapefruit, Grapes, Lemons/Limes, Oranges, Pineapple, Rhubarb and Watermelon.

Produce You Shouldn't Store in the Fridge

The list of fruits and veggies you should keep out of the fridge is surprisingly short! Here are the seven that keep best at room temperature: Onions, Potatoes, Winter Squash (like Butternut and Acorn), Sweet Potatoes, Tomatoes, Bananas, and Persimmons. Produce That Can Go Either Way

Some fruits and veggies can be stored both ways, either depending on your preference or how soon you plan to eat them. We mentioned that most of the fruits on this list can be ripened on the counter and then stored in the fridge, but there are a few other special cases: Corn (Leave it out of the fridge if you're eating it within a day Otherwise it c

Cantaloupe, Carambolas (Star Fruit), Figs (They should be used right away, but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.) Honeydew Melon, Kiwi, Mangoes, Papayas, Peaches and Nectarines, Pears, and Plums. While putting most of your produce in the fridge will help you save it for a few extra days, you can stretch your fruits and veggies even further by freezing or canning them. Almost every fruit or vegetable is a good candidate for one or the other (or both). So if you ﬁnd yourself with more zucchini than you can eat in three days, start clearing out some space in your freezer Don't forget to wash them thoroughly before eating, and it's a good idea to keep your fruits and veggies stored separately.

HOW TO BEAT THE HEAT

There's a lot to do when the weather is right: family picnics, a homerun derby on the softball ﬁeld, endless hours on the golf course, or lounging in your backyard hammock.

However, too much fun in the sun can be dangerous. Excessive heat exposure can cause dehydration. Dehydration, in turn, can cause dangerous conditions, such as: heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which is also called sunstroke

Combating the toll of the heat and sun on your body will keep you healthy and active all summer long. Try a few of these simple precautions, and you'll still be going strong as the leaves start to turn. What to wear in the heat - The way you dress can go a long way toward keeping you comfortable when you're outside in the heat.

Make sure you bring the following items:

The right type of clothing - A loose white linen shirt isn't just fashionably conscious - it's also intelligent for hot, sunny days. Dark clothing absorbs more heat, and tight clothes don't let sweat - your body's natural cooling system - evaporate. Cotton is another good fabric to opt for in the heat. Choose light colors over darker ones if your primary goal is staying cool.

Sun-protective clothing - There's a diﬀerence between the type of clothing that keeps you cool in the heat and the type of clothing that keeps you protected from ultraviolet (UV) rays. If protection from the sun is your goal, choose dark or bright colors instead of white or pastels They absorb more heat, which prevents the rays from penetrating your skin.

Dry clothes are more protective than wet clothes. Tightly woven clothes, or synthetic ﬁbers, such as polyester and rayon, provide more sun protection than loosely woven clothes. You can even take it one step further and invest in sun-protective clothing. Sun-protective fabric uses special dyes and chemicals to block harmful UV rays. More and more clothing and outdoor companies are carrying garments

promoting an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF).

given an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) rating based on how much UV radiation they allow to penetrate the skin. If a product has a UPF of 15, around 6.7 percent (or 1/15) of the sun's rays will reach you. A UPF rating of 15 is generally considered good. However, an item must have a UPF of at least 30 to receive the

Recommendation.

scorching your corneas and will protect your

Ophthalmology, you should pick sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays.

Hats - A hat is a smart and practical summer fashion choice. Throwing on a wide-brimmed h

sensitive spots on your face, and it keeps your skin looking wrinklefree. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends that brims and brills be at least 3 inches wide (or 2.5 inches for babies and toddlers).

Sunscreen - Nothing knocks good days oﬀ a summer calendar like a nasty sunburn. When outdoors, use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. Use a higher-rated, waterproof sunscreen if you're poolside or out on the beach. Some ingredients that may be p a r t i c u l a r l y e ﬀ e c t i v e

avobenzone, ecamsule, oxybenzone, titanium dioxide. Don't forget to cover areas that burn easily: the nose, ears, shoulders, and back of the neck.

Lip balm - Just like how sunscreen protects the rest of your skin, a lip balm with SPF protection blocks out the sun and keeps in moisture for your lips - great for a day on the lake or while you're working on that summer romance.

How to stay hydrated - The heat makes you sweat, which cools you down. However, that also means you're constantly losing ﬂuid.

Here's how to stay hydrated:

Sip water throughout the day - Don't wait until you're thirsty! Drink water throughout the day to prevent dehydration or over exhaustion. Use the color of your urine to guide whether you're hydrated enough — the clearer, the better

Choose sugar-free juice - All-natural juice without added sugar not only provides hydration, but it also has important nutrients to keep you active and nourished in hot weather Vitamin C is just one of them. Check the label on the juice bottle and make sure it says “100 percent juice with no sugar added.”

continued on page 36

HOW TO BEAT THE HEAT continued from

Avoid alcohol - While an ice-cold cocktail - complete with a little paper umbrella - might sound good on the beach, it won't be as refreshing to your body That's because alcohol only dehydrates you more. If you can't barbecue without a brew, drink a bottle of water between each alcoholic beverage to stay hydrated. Like alcohol, caffeine also has a reputation for being dehydrating. However, caffeine should be fine to consume in moderate amounts, even in the heat.

Did you know? Coffee may be just as hydrating as water, at least according to a small 2014 studyTrusted Source of male coffee drinkers. The study was split into short two trials. In one trial, the participants received nearly 3.5 cups of coffee a day In the other trial, they received water. At the end of the study, the researchers didn't observe any significant differences in metrics that would signal dehydration, such as total body water or 24 hour urine volume.

What to eat to stay cool - The food you eat can also help you stay cool. Try adjusting your diet so that it includes the following:

Fresh produce - Fruits and vegetables are easy to digest and often high in water content. Salads and other dishes rich in seasonal produce will keep you feeling light and hydrated, too. Hydrating foods and beverages include: watermelon; strawberries; broths and soup; tomatoes; bell peppers; coconut water

Spicy foods - Popular in warm climates, the tingling feeling and accompanying sweat caused by eating spicy foods has a purpose: The sweat actually cools your body down. A little cayenne pepper or salsa can add a lot of ﬂavor to any meal.

Low-fat meats - Fat takes longer for your body to digest and carries a

higher salt content, which can add extra strain on your body when you need it maximized for eﬃciency Consuming too much salt also increases your risk for dehydration. If you eat meat, choose low-fat versions (like chicken breast) in the summer.

When to stay out of the sun - Avoid peak hours of sunlight when the temperatures and UV rays are at their highest, normally between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. That's the best time to head inside, get food and water, let your body cool down, and maybe even take a nap. When heat and humidity are at their highest, it's never a bad time to take a break. Watersports are especially tricky, because you can easily become overheated without realizing it. When in doubt, take a breather

Where to ﬁnd relief from the sun - If you live in an area where summer heat can become dangerous, pay close attention to any heatrelated warnings. When it's dangerous, stay inside with the A/C or fan going. If it's not cool enough at home, ﬁnd a cooling station, usually set up at public libraries and other buildings.

If you must be outside, keep your activities close to a shady spot. It can provide enough of a cooldown to keep you safe. Even a small drop in temperature can make a big diﬀerence. When it's hot, and you're active, stay close to restaurants, convenience stores, or any other place that can oﬀer cold temperatures and beverages, should you need them in an emergency.

If you're at the beach or pool, the cool water oﬀers great relief from the heat.

On Wednesday June 18 our 8 Ballers Club traveled to Summerlin and brought back the trophy

It was quite a match as it ended up tied at the end of the regulation 32 games apiece. It was decided each team would select two (2) players and play one game with the “Winner Takes All.” Well, as you can see by the photo, we kept the trophy! Thanks to the Summerlin Club for hosting and serving a very good lunch.

Congratulations to Lane Smith and Maurey

Today, events and discussions across the country highlight achievements in gender equality, raise awareness about the challenges still faced, and honor trailblazing women breaking barriers in every ﬁeld—from politics and science to business and the arts. Schools, community organizations,

Women's Equality Day is a symbol—a reminder that democracy is strongest when all voices are heard and valued. It's about ensuring that future generations inherit a more just and equitable world. The ﬁght for equality doesn't end with legislation; it lives on in everyday actions, c

T h e D o g D

August are here, so let's talk about an important day for every woman and girl in the United S

E q u

y D a y i s observed each year on August 26 in the United States.

It commemorates a pivotal moment in history: the certiﬁcation of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote. This landmark legislation came after decades of tireless activism by suﬀragists such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, and countless

landscape.

But Women's Equality Day is not just a celebration of the past—it's also a call to action. It serves as a powerful reminder that while progress has been made, the journey toward full gender equality continues. Equal pay, representation in leadership roles, reproductive rights, and protection from gender-based violence remain areas in which disparities persist. This day invites both reﬂection on the strides that have been achieved and a recommitment to advancing justice and equity for all women, inclusive of race, class, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

No experience necessary! Club members meet every Monday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Craft Room 2. Get ready for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and all seasons and holidays. It's never too early to start. Join members to make cards, unique and personalized gifts, and memory items for those occasions.

ESCAPE AND EXPLORE

TRAVEL

In celebration of the National Park Service's birthday on A ugust 25, there's no better time to highlight national parks that offer the perfect escape from the summer heat or an unforgettable adventure. Discover why our national parks are truly America's treasures.

Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument ~ Las Vegas

Herds of Ice Age Columbian mammoths – the largest of elephant species with tusks longer than six feet and molars the size of a human head – once roamed the lush and verdant wetlands of Las Vegas right in our backyard. In an area alternately known as the Upper Las Vegas Wash or Tule Springs, their fossil remains lay undisturbed for centuries. Camelops, larger versions of today's Bactrian camels, and American lions, weighing up to 1100 pounds, also made this area their home along with at least three species of ancient horse and massive sloths. The Dire Wolf, Saber

Tooth Cat, Bison, Ice Age Horse, and even Llamas lived here.

The Visitor's Center sets the stage for fossil viewing, hiking, educational tours, and photography The park is supported by the Protectors of Tule Springs, a group founded by the residents of Sun City Aliante, which meets in the Sun City Aliante Community Center For more information about the Protectors, please visit www.protectorsofTuleSprings.org or contact Sandy Croteau at 7025-281-1252 and woodacre75@msn.com.

Tule Springs Fossil Beds is one of the f e w p l a c e s w h e r e evidence of Ice Age l i f e i s s o w e l l preserved, making it a signiﬁcant site for u n d e r s t a n d i n g t h e ancient history of the Las Vegas Valley.

G l a c i e r N a t i o n a l Park ~ in Montana

~ is a great “escape the heat” destination. From Las Vegas you can fly into Montana in generally one flight. Missoula has flights from Las Vegas, and so does Kalispell which is even closer to Glacier National Park.

Exploring Glacier National Park is a dream come true for outdoor

enthusiasts and nature lovers. The Going-to-the-Sun Road, one of the park's most iconic attractions, is fully accessible this time of year, oﬀering breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, pristine lakes, and l u s h v a l l e y s . D

opportunities to stop and take in the panoramic vistas, with highlights including Logan Pass and the Weeping Wall.

Hiking is one of the most rewarding activities. August is also an excellent time for water-based activities. The park's numerous lakes and rivers, including Lake McDonald and Swiftcurrent Lake, are perfect for kayaking, canoeing, and ﬁshing. The park's remote location and minimal light pollution provide a pristine canvas for viewing the Milky Way and other celestial wonders.

It's fun to stay at one of the Park Lodges. Many Glacier Hotel is right on S w

www.glaciernationalparklodges.com/lodging/many-glacier-hotel/.

One of my personal favorites is The Lodge at Whiteﬁsh Lake which is about 40 minutes from the West entrance of the park, and it is perfect for families as they have hot tubs, yoga classes, and even bikes to use! https://lodgeatwhiteﬁshlake.com
