When the temps heat up, head inside.

There are so many cool places (pardon the pun) to visit during the summertime at wonderful indoor venues.

From museums • to a new aquarium to the Arizona Science Center, you could spend the whole summer visiting indoor attractions close to home.

In our cover story, we highlight some of the best spots to stay cool and learn something new. What’s more, we have identified the “must see” attraction that you won’t want to miss at each location.

In this month’s issue we also get the opportunity to recognize the DC Ranch Volunteers of the Year. This year’s six worthy award recipients each contribute their time and talents for a variety of reasons. But their commitment to making the community a better place is a common bond they all share. Read about their accomplishments on page 8 and 9. We are grateful for their contributions.

With the launch of our DC Ranch Gives program, the level of resident involvement in community service and philanthropic endeavors is increasing. This fall, why not join in? We will offer a variety of new opportunities for residents to participate in DC Ranch Gives initiatives. Look for more information in the coming months.

Don’t let the heat slow you down! Make plans to enjoy a summer that is enriching, exciting . . . and cool.

In June and July, the city will draft a site plan for public review and presentation to the Scottsdale Parks and Recreation Commission.

In May, the city of Scottsdale held an open house at The Homestead Community Center to answer questions and gather input from residents.

A webpage concerning the park has been created on DCRanch.com. Please check it often for updates.

DC Ranch merchant water drive Help Operation Code Red and Phoenix Rescue Mission by donating cases of bottled water to DC Ranch merchants.

AZ Smiles has a special promotion: donate 5+ cases of water and receive a free in-office teeth whitening.

Snakes alive!

Living next to a nature preserve means snakes may sometimes wander onto your property.

Should you encounter one, stay clear by at least six feet and keep pets and children inside. You may call DC Ranch Security to assist with removal.

Security will respond and remain on-site to help contain the snake and will notify Scottsdale Fire Department for removal. In the case of a bite or imminent danger, call 911 immediately.

Landscape workshop top takeaways

BY PAMELA KACIR | RESIDENT CONTRIBUTOR, ALHM.NET

M

any visitors are quick to notice how integrated our DC Ranch landscape is with the Sonoran Desert. To achieve this result, landscape design in our community is carefully crafted to preserve the unique character of the natural desert that existed long before we arrived.

The DC Ranch Community Standards Team presented a thorough workshop in March for residents and landscapers to learn how to maintain this seamless transition from designed landscape to natural desert. As a resident, I learned a lot!

Here are my top three takeaways:

1. Each community has a “base” shrub to support the transition from the street to our front yards.

he Ranch Association Board of Directors has elected officers for 2017-2018: Susan Grace, president; Fred Green, vice president; Tom Headley, secretary; and Mike Esparza, treasurer. Dr. Phil Geiger, Elizabeth Kepuraitis and Don Matheson also serve on the board.

zone maps have been created with plant lists for each of the seven plant zones. Just click on your community name to view.

2. DC Ranch’s sustainability standard is to do the least amount of work that negatively impacts your plants; shrubs on your property should match shrubs in our common areas.

3. Maintain shrubs and other plants from intruding onto walkways and sidewalks, but limit hedging and shearing to promote a more natural look.

The Community Standards Team will hold another landscape workshop this fall. It’s a good idea for residents and landscapers to attend and learn how to preserve our special landscape look.

of the group. For more information, please contact the Front Desk at Desert Camp Community Center at 480.342.7178.

A few important pool rules to remember to ensure the poolside experience is safe and enjoyable for all DC Ranch residents: • There is no lifeguard on duty and parents must directly supervise their children and guests • Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian • No glass is allowed in the pool area

Summer landscaping notes

Monsoon season begins June 15, bringing wet and windy weather to the area. The DC Ranch landscape team will be ready this summer for storm clean ups when bad weather hits. Crews will also be busy pruning trees in Desert Parks neighborhoods and in areas of Silverleaf including The Parks, Horseshoe Canyon, and Arcadia. Summertime’s hybrid Bermuda grass doesn’t grow well in the shade, so turf in these areas will be re-sodded to keep the grass looking uniform and green.

The maintenance team will stay busy with painting projects and refurbishing outdoor furniture in many neighborhood parks community-wide.

Every year, DC Ranch acknowledges the generous volunteer support of residents and local businesses at the Volunteer Appreciation Celebration in April. Here are some highlights about the six supporters who have gone above and beyond to provide their time and talent to the community over the past year.

DON RUFF | GOOD NEIGHBOR Honors a resident who helps a fellow neighbor or volunteers at a community event or program Don Ruff is a Neighborhood Voting Member alternate in the Desert Camp/Pioneer neighborhood and served tirelessly on the Modification Committee board for several years, all with a smile and pleasant attitude. “Don is the epitome of the perfect neighbor,” said Community Standards Specialist Aaron Largo, who nominated Don. “His pleasant yet serious personality is wonderful to work with.”

Don always leads by example and his awareness throughout the community has helped provide the Community Standards department with information and insight.

SUSAN GRACE | LEADERSHIP

Honors a dedicated board member, subcommittee participant, or Neighborhood Voting Member

As the Vice President of the Ranch Association Board, Susan stepped in to cover during the absence of the Ranch Association Executive Director, beginning in July 2016. She became the primary contact for Ranch Association employees and many outside vendors. Although she didn’t officially accept the title of acting ED, she certainly functioned as one, putting in many hours at the Ranch Offices to help resolve issues as they arose.

Stuart also spends a lot of time with the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy as a Master Steward—the highest level—which requires at least five years of service and more than 1,000 reported service hours. Stuart chaired the Nature Guide program for two years and coordinates afterschool hikes for Title I and private schools, senior centers, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts.

Summer Muse

Ok CATHA SMITH | COMMUNIT Y COUNCIL

The first destinations that come to mind for many people: shopping, movie theaters, or the pool. But just like youngsters often participate in a “Summer Reading Program” at the local library, we’d like to suggest a “Summer Museum Challenge” for Ranch residents of all ages.

Whether you are new to the area or have lived here a long time, there is probably a sizable list of museums on your “should visit” list. You’ve heard of them, you’d like to check them out, but you never quite seem to find the time to get there.

There’s just one thing to say about that: you are really missing out! The Scottsdale/ Phoenix metro area is blessed with an astounding group of world class cultural institutions.

602.252.8840 heard.org Free admission from 6 – 10 p.m. every First Friday

PHOENIX ART MUSEUM

HEARD MUSEUM A showcase of American Indian art, the Heard Museum is committed to the sensitive and accurate portrayal of Native arts and cultures, and is recognized internationally for the quality of its collections, its educational programming and its festivals.

This summer, the Heard provides a rare opportunity to see firsthand masterpieces by two of the most important and recognizable artists of the 20th century—Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Thirty-three works by the famed Mexican artists are on view through Aug. 20, including Kahlo’s Self Portrait with Monkeys and Rivera’s Calla Lily Vendor, as well as more than 50 photographs and Kahlo-style clothing and jewelry.

(This is a special ticketed exhibition of $7 in addition to general museum admission for non-members.)

Heard Museum 2301 N. Central Ave., Phoenix

we all know it’s hot in June and July (and August!) in Scottsdale. Some of you may head out of town to escape the 100+ degree heat. But others need to fill their days with cool entertainment.

Phoenix Art Museum has more than 18,000 objects of American, Asian, European, Latin American, Western American, modern and contemporary art, photography and fashion design. Explore the vast collections, but make sure to see two amazing displays this summer.

Samurai: Armor takes visitors on a journey back in time to discover the life, culture, and pageantry of Japanese samurai warriors. The exhibition features more than 140 objects of warrior regalia, with full suits of armor, helmets, masks, and weapons that trace the evolution of the distinctive appearance, design and craftsmanship of samurai equipment

through the centuries. Through July 16.

A completely different experience will surround you in Yayoi Kusama’s whimsical You Who Are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies (2005).

Inspired by a Japanese folk tale about a person in a field with 10,000 fireflies, Kusama's work brings the fairy tale to life. The piece is a dark room lined with mirrors on every surface and strands of looping LED lighting suspended from the ceiling. This deceptively small room feels as if it’s a vast, infinite galaxy of lighting and allows the viewer to enter and be surrounded, or obliterated,

by Kusama’s fireflies.

Phoenix Art Museum 1625 N. Central Ave., Phoenix 602.257.1880 phxart.org

See website for special voluntary donation times.

eum Challenge So here’s the challenge: make a list, on paper or your smartphone, of eight museums you want to visit in June and July and then—this is key—schedule the visits on your calendar. One per week. Pick a time and date, invite a friend to go with you, make it an appointment instead of a “sometime in the future” idea.

Plan to have lunch, dinner or a glass of wine after the visit. Or research other interesting attractions nearby and make a day of it.

It might help to “pretend” you have visitors in from out of town, or take some real out-of-town guests and introduce them, and yourselves, to curated, inspirational sights and sounds.

We’ll get you started with a few great museums, below, that are close to DC Ranch—and we’ve shared info on any special admission days. But don’t stop there. Seek out other museums that feed your interests—there are so many from which to choose.

And no, you don’t have to do a book report when the summer is over. Be sure to tell your friends—maybe they’ll get hooked on the Summer Museum Challenge too! Share your experiences with us on the DC Ranch Facebook page or send an email to communications.team@dcranchinc.com. Have fun!

ARIZONA SCIENCE CENTER

Anthony Rowe

Science with a Twist Put a twist on your Friday night and join Arizona Science Center for the newest adults’ only event happening every third Friday of the month from 6 to 10 p.m. The evening includes music, cash bar, live demos and much more.

SCOTTSDALE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART It will be interesting to compare Kusama’s fireflies with Ocean of Light: Submergence, an LED structure that envelops viewers in light while they explore the idea of interactivity. It is a large, immersive, walkthrough experience that uses up to 12,000 individual points of suspended light to create feelings of presence and movement within physical space.

The installation, created by Squidsoup, a UK-based artists collective, responds in real time to the movement and position of visitors.

ODYSEA IN THE DESERT

A short drive down the 101 freeway, this family-friendly destination includes three live animal attractions and more than 15 dining and shopping establishments. The venue encircles an outdoor courtyard with a center stage that hosts a variety of live entertainment throughout the year.

OdySea Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the southwest, with two million gallons of water, 60 exhibits, over 30,000 sea creatures and over 500 species in a 200,000 square foot

facility. The aquarium was literally built from the inside out—the animal habitats were placed first, and the structure was built around them.

It offers a walk-through Barrier Reef Tunnel, a Deep Ocean Escalator that descends through a 200,000 gallon shark habitat, a touch tank, and numerous special experiences and behind the scenes tours. odyseaaquarium.com Dolphinaris Arizona allows visitors to interact with dolphins, learn about this amazing species, and support ocean conservation efforts. You can meet the dolphins and share a handshake, a dolphin kiss and more from dry land or in the water. You can even become a dolphin trainer

for a day, with an exclusive behind-thescenes look at dolphin care. dolphinaris-arizona.com

Koi Poke brings fresh island fare to DC Ranch Crossing

DC

Ranch’s natural beauty doesn’t include white sandy beaches or surf breaks, but Hawaii’s food scene officially arrived with the opening of Koi Poke Bar & Bowl in DC Ranch Crossing. Pronounced “POH-kay,” this wildly popular dish is served up fresh with your choice of crosscut slices of raw tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp, octopus, lobster or tofu. Pick a base of rice or spring salad mix, then top it with veggies, garnishes, and your choice of eight sauce derivatives that fuse Japanese and Hawaiian influences to create a unique and healthy meal in one delicious bowl.

What distinguishes north Scottsdale’s first and only poke bowl concept from others springing up across the

Valley? According to Koi Poke partner Ted Constantine, “While the others typically use large restaurant food suppliers, we procure the freshest products available through specialty seafood purveyors that fly our seafood in, from boat to plate.”

Other innovations that set locallyowned and operated Koi Poke apart from the rest of the poke chains migrating to Arizona from California include two side-by-side concepts.

Koi Poke features an upscale dining side that serves poke bowls with wine, beer, sake and an extensive cocktail menu, and there’s a grab and go side where you can skip the bar and grab a quick bowl or take it to go.

W

hat’s more, both concepts include a frosty new taste sensation called Hawaiian Snow Ice. “We’re excited to be the first to combine this finely shaved ice concept, which literally melts in your mouth, with a poke restaurant,” Constantine said. “First, we infuse the ice with flavors like coconut, banana and pistachio, then we drizzle in special toppings to create a light and refreshing dessert.”

With a fresh new focus on convenience and deliciousness, it’s hard to imagine what more one could want in a poke bowl establishment. But wait. The word “Koi” happens to be slang for the Japanese word “Koibito,” which translates not only to love, but can also mean the feeling between new lovers.

What better place to plan a date night, without the cross-Pacific airfare? Mahalo.

hether you are planning a trip this summer or looking ahead to later in 2017 or 2018, there are many exciting travel options to explore. We stopped

by All World Travel’s new offices on Market Street to get some recommendations from travel specialist Kristie Burke, a nearly 30-year veteran of the travel business. Her top picks and advice for fun places to go: Cuba! Now that travel restrictions have been relaxed, it’s a golden time to visit Cuba. Americans are still required to travel with a tour group, but those restrictions are expected to ease eventually. Visit in the near future, before it gets crowded and the experience changes.

“More tourists are going to discover this magical island and all it has to offer. Part of Cuba’s charm is the lack of giant ritzy hotels, overcrowded beaches and inauthentic restaurants,”

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TRIP The internet makes trip planning accessible, but there are many advantages to using a travel agent.

Hot destinations for DC Ranch travelers

said Burke. “Go soon to get the true experience of an unforgettable country that offers genuine hospitality, breathtaking landscapes, and incredible people.” Best time to visit: December to May for mostly sunny, dry days.

River cruising allows you to experience multiple European cities for an affordable price. On a cruise along the Danube, Rhine, or Seine, you’ll see breathtaking landscapes and castles and visit fantastic museums and a mix of urban and rural destinations at a relaxed pace. Most river cruises include sightseeing trips in each city, local wines and beer on ship, and beautiful accommodations. The cities in Europe were built around access to water, so this is a great way to see them.

Eat like you mean it

I

am a professional chef who loves nothing more than to eat, but I also understand the importance of what I am putting into my body. I recently lost a lot of weight—100 pounds and counting —and on my weight loss journey the single biggest contributor to my success was meal planning and prepping. Here are some nutrition tips that helped me shed the weight and eat healthy, along with a favorite recipe. • Incorporate as many fresh vegetables, fruits and leafy greens into your meals as possible. For example, if you’re craving a breakfast burrito, why not add spinach, onions, peppers, asparagus, potatoes, or anything else besides just meats, eggs and cheese? If you’re having oatmeal, add in berries, nuts, flax or bananas. The idea is to add in the most fiber and nutrients possible. The extra fiber helps keep you fuller longer without a lot of extra calories.

• Limit your sugar intake, even from healthy sources. While juicing has some benefits, you lose the fiber and some of the vitamins from the skins and rinds. And it will spike your sugar: it may take four to six apples just to get an 8 oz. glass of juice.

If so, a soda might actually be healthier since just four apples have a whopping 76 g of sugar compared to 39 g in a typical 12 oz. soda. Our bodies turn everything into sugar for energy, and any excess sugar is stored in the form of fat when not used up immediately. • Packing a lunch is all about meal prep. You’ve made a conscious

Tasty and nutritious tips from Chef Isaac Rios of the Village Health Clubs & Spas

decision about what goes in your body. Pack a light lunch and various healthy snacks, such as carrots, celery, peanut butter, nuts and fruit. You’ll need the constant flow of snacks for both sustained energy and so that when dinner comes around you’re not so ravenously hungry you binge eat. But stay away from trail mixes, granola or even protein bars—it’s easy to overeat them.

Lessons you learned from your father

By the numbers– June/July 2017

In honor of Father’s Day, we asked Ranch residents to tell us a story or memory of a funny, profound or emotional bit of wisdom gained from their fathers over the years. Here are some of our favorites:

M

y dad built a house or two every year after working all day in a factory as a machinist. My brother and I were his laborers, without pay. My buddies who worked for their dads were paid. I relayed this to my father and asked for $1 per hour. On pay day he gave me a check, like the other laborers, but then he handed me an invoice for room, board, laundry, and transportation.

I owed $7! I learned there was no free lunch. –Dick Armstrong
