Onward and Upward

by Robert Hefner As I write this article the votes on the Aquatic and Fitness Center (AFC) project are yet to be counted. But as you read it the outcome will be known. Whatever the outcome, this past year has been exciting and somewhat tragic for our community. The level of volunteerism and involvement in the AFC project, both for and against the project, has illustrated how active our residents can become in our community. While no proposal is ever going to receive unanimous approval, healthy discussion and debate generally lead to the correct outcome. The level of rhetoric and actions by some in our community on the AFC project has been unbecoming and out of character of our community. I only hope that we can now put all of that behind us and return to the friendly and homogeneous community we have all come to love and respect.

The Year in Review

by Bob Mariani

Now that the vote on the AFC is history and the Board election has taken place I want to take this opportunity to review some of the Association activities in Sun City Vistoso over the past year.

Every year at least a few projects are completed in the community. During the past few months, we’ve seen new paint, tile and carpet installed in Catalina Vista; tee box signs installed on the golf course; the golf course bunkers were rebuilt among other projects. As a result of continual refinement to our project management process, these and many other smaller projects were completed well within budget and in a timely manner.

Of course the largest project was the planning process for the AFC. Although no physical changes took place in the community in regard to the AFC, there were countless hours of volunteer and staff time dedicated to development and communication of the proposed project. Expenditures were also necessary as a part of this planning process yet the Board was careful to approach these in a very frugal manner. The alternative to the approach that was taken would have resulted in an expenditure well in excess of $100,000 for complete architectural plans. The approach used was at a cost of $15,000.

In addition to the various projects that were completed, many actions were undertaken that benefit the Association. For example: a Communication Committee was formed to help improve communications with the membership; a committee recruiting program was continued and enhanced in order to encourage more residents to become involved; an Emergency Preparedness Committee was formed to develop a plan for the Community; Town Council members were invited to attend the Board Meetings on a rotating basis so that Town updates could be received and the Town/Association relationship could be enhanced; the preapproved landscape contractor policy was amended to streamline approval for common area maintenance and an Active Health Committee was formed to develop health and wellness programs.

In addition to the above, many improvements were made in Administration, golf, Café, marketing and other areas of operation including many cost saving measures. All of these improvements and actions, that are outlined above, will play a role in enhancing an already excellent community.

Aluminum Can Donations: Put those aluminum cans to work for Sun City Vistoso. Deposit only empty, clean aluminum cans in the box outside the Social Hall kitchen. For safety reasons do not deposit unrinsed cans which attract bees and may become a hazard.

In March we delivered 460 pounds of aluminum cans which netted the CAC $313. Fiscal year-to-date we have received a total of $2,567.

The Community Assistance Committee is an Association sponsored group which operates the Loan Room.

It is located at the end of the Cart Barn and provides Sun City Vistoso Tipster, Febraury 2011

The Loan Room is open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8-9 AM. Reservations can be made for needed items by calling 917-8052 or 825-3711 ext 128 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 8-9 AM or at the Loan Room when it is open. The Loan Room is funded through donations, profits from recycling your aluminum cans and the annual Pancake Breakfast.

Conservation and Energy Committee Co-Chairs Beverly Browne 825-2921 and Ed Kennedy 825-3659 First and Third Tuesdays, 1 PM, Vistoso Center/Yaqui

At our recent ILR Course, we learned from the UofA professionals that the average Arizona person uses 102 gallons of water/day. For a family of two this averages out to 6,205 gallons/month. Since your water bill gives your usage in thousands of gallons, this is a metered usage of six thousand gallons/month. Oro Valley Water Utility says an elderly family of two uses about seven thousand gallons/month. To conserve water, look first for leaks. Get a dye package from Home Depot or Ace Hardware and drop a little in your toilets.

If the water in the bowl slowly changes color, you have a leak. Look at your water meter when you aren’t using any water. If you see a slowly rotating disc or wheel, you have a leak. If you don’t see anything moving, turn on a hose and you will see which one will move when you do have a leak.

Government Affairs Chair Hal Linton 825-2812, haling@comcast.net Second Wednesday, 1 PM, Vistoso Center/Yaqui Landscape Bob Cratty 825-0157 Third Wednesday, 9 AM, Vistoso Center/Yaqui

When the Landscape Committee developed a plan for the first section of Rancho Vistoso (corner of Del Webb down to Big Wash bridge), the plan included turning the side to the right, as you go down hill, back to desert. This would make it similar to the land it abuts and like some of the other areas along Rancho Vistoso. It was felt there was no need for our community to continue to pay to have this area maintained as a landscaped area.

The Committee presented the plan and it was approved by the Board of Directors. It included removal of some nonnative plants and decorative rock, planting new native shrubs, other plants and a planting of wildflower mix. The plan calls for watering the new plants to get them established and then turning off the water forever. After that, whatever happens, happens. If a few plants die, they will be removed. There will be new volunteer plants. The wildflowers will set seed after blooming and we will enjoy the result for years, some years more than others, depending on the rains. The area will not be cleaned up after the flowers bloom like residences must be. This is now becoming a natural desert.

Our Common Area Maintenance staff and our committee hope to continue this approach for some other sections along the desert side of Rancho Vistoso.

For a list of wildflowers planted please see the Landscape Committee’s website: http://www.suncity-visSun City Vistoso Tipster, April 2012

toso.com/association/committees/Landscape.html Wildflowers Planting List. Enjoy the wildflowers.

Marketing and Publicity Tut Tustison 825-9431 Fourth Thursday of the month, 1 PM, Vistoso Center/Yaqui Name Change Committee Chair Jon Olson 818-3705 Thursdays, 4:30 PM, Catalina Vista/Yavapai namechange@gmail.com Neighborhood Pride Chair Tempe Johnson 825-6994 Third Tuesday, 2 PM, Vistoso Center/Apache Now What?

If you own a property that had pretty wildflowers in bloom, they have probably now ceased to be beautiful.

Wildflowers are allowed in our community until they finish blooming, at which time they need to be removed.

It is now time to make sure those empty pots in front yards are filled with living plants, cactus or flowers.

Trim any trees or shrubs which overhang the sidewalk or street and remember, no artifacts of any kind are allowed in front or street-facing side yards, no matter how cute they may be.

Winter residents need to have their yards maintained during the summer months so the home looks cared for while the homeowner is away. Be sure to notify Administration of your summer address in case they need to reach you while you are gone. Please continue to take pride in your property even when you are not on site, so that it will look just as nice upon your return as when you left.

Posse Chair Del Balston 825-9681, Vice-Chair John Njaa 825-5486 Meetings: First Tuesday, 3 PM, Social Hall/Hopi http://www.suncity-vistoso.com/committees/posse/

A Posse squad normally has two squad leaders.

When longtime Posse member and squad leader Dexter Jones retired, Marian Horsley was left to organize Squad A alone. That recently changed when Pat Monson volunteered to take Dexter’s place. Thank you, Pat. In addition to Marian and Pat, our other squad leaders are Dee Bethke, Florence Duckett, Larry Hoaglund, Larry Lee, Dick Mueller, George Puffett, Marilyn Rego and John Willis. Without their dedicated service, the Posse would not function. The entire SCV community is grateful for their service. Thank you, Posse squad leaders.

Tipster Editorial

buildings and many other assignments.

Here is some history of the monitors before they became monitors. Some were managers, business owners, school principal, nurse, mailman and technology executive, to just name a few. They soon discovered that they missed the everyday interaction with people, and they don’t mind working hard for their own community. SCV residents make up 98% of the monitor team.

In closing, I would like to point out that when you enter a facility room the chairs and tables are set up and cookies, coffee, water etc are out. All of these things were done by a monitor and not by magic. I hope that the community has a better appreciation of the monitor team.

Please be aware that all facilities operate on summer hours starting Sunday, April 1.

Robin Coulter - Assistant Manager Start the Wave

Admittedly at a football game when the wave comes around to my section, I smile a bit and join right in on the fun usually adding a woooo for good measure. Our community has recently been in a contest of sorts, with the vote on the Aquatic & Fitness Center, but we now know the results. It’s time to move onward and upward with our projects, and goals and as a community work together. We’ve worked through the process, we’ve perhaps agreed to disagree, but in the end when we walk past each other let’s be friendly and wave (and this time I probably won’t add the woooo.)

Pam Sarpalius - Programs/Facilities Director Monitors

Today I would like to focus on the monitor team, of whom I am very proud. There are presently 20 monitors. The total number of hours per year of monitor coverage for facilities is approximately 22,840 hours. A monthly work schedule is composed by me and given to them.

The monitors greet you as you enter a facility. They keep the buildings tidy by cleaning, filling supplies, keeping inventories, setting up rooms for events or meetings, making sure that residents only enter our Sun City Vistoso Tipster, April 2012

Since the weather is getting nicer and the days are longer, please remember that if you are a walker or a person driving your golf cart on the golf course (enjoying the views) there will be golfers still out on the golf course. Please yield to the golfers and then proceed after they have hit their shot. This is not only for your safety, but so the golfers can enjoy their paid round of golf. Thank you for your cooperation.

Gas powered golf carts are not allowed on The Views Golf Course.

Michael Kropf - Superintendent

One of the toughest challenges on maintaining a golf course is accomplishing many tasks with only a small number of employees. The maintenance crew is not only responsible for maintaining the grass, but also traps, sprinkler systems, pump station, ponds, desert and numerous other items. Most golfers are unaware of the amount of work that goes into golf course maintenance, but the 9-Hole Men’s Golf Club has been volunteering their services to the maintenance department for several years.

They wanted to help on the golf course so they organized volunteers to fill divots on the tees and fairways.

Over time they have created a system where these volunteers have each adopted their own hole. These people not only repair the divots, but also fix the ball marks on the greens and some even rake the traps when necessary. The work that this club accomplishes throughout the week has freed up at least two maintenance employees to concentrate on other aspects of the golf course. This directly leads to even better maintained golf course without added expense.

The golf course maintenance department also gets volunteers from other clubs that help with marking the hazards for tournaments, painting the yardages on cart paths, and helping with the weeds around the desert edges. The maintenance department would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for all the members who donate their time and energy to help make this one of the best maintained courses in Tucson.

Golf Advisory Payton Davies Chair 825-5352 First Wednesday, 2 PM, Vistoso Center/Apache

Bob Mariani reported that outside golf revenues are increasing as the weather improves. Fiscal YTD rounds including Golf Now and nonresident are 3,855 with revenue of $114,735. This helps our golfing members by keeping our golf fees as low as possible. Also discussed was the goal to increase revenue in the future by having more tee time days. Currently, only Friday, Saturday and Sundays have tee times with shotguns the other four days. The first step to achieve this would be to move the maintenance day and make Monday a tee-time day.

All clubs are discussing changing their names to incorporate “The Views”. Having a course name and a different club name are confusing to both the AGA and AWGA. Also, banks will not cash club checks made out to The Views.

The Women’s 9-Hole Club reported that their Golf for the Cure was very successful.

Walking the Red Carpet

by Jackie Alger

Imagine donning your classiest clothes, stepping into a stretch limo and then walking the red carpet with all the celebrities at the recent Grammy Awards. That is what Sun City Vistoso residents Paul and Shirley Chorney did when their daughter, Linda Chorney, was chosen as one of the nominees for Best Album.

The Chorneys arrived in Los Angeles on the weekend of the awards and had a chance to experience much of the excitement. One time they sat in on a recording session, where Linda performed for a Nashville producer.

Then it was Sunday, time for the glamorous Event. The day started before noon, when the proud parents attended preaward ceremonies, where they walked the non-celebrity red carpet, while Linda strode the main one. For the major program of the evening, with Shirley in heels, they had to walk to The Staples Center.

Even with VIP seating, they were located in the back.

Although Linda did not win a Grammy, just being there with their exceptional daughter, who, at age 51, was able to break into this youth-dominated musical world, was thrilling. By the end of the evening, both Paul and Shirley were exhausted.

Asked if the Chorneys themselves had musical backgrounds, Shirley said that her mother and aunt had been opera singers, and she had been a classical pianist and teacher. During the 1950s she even had a radio program on the Providence, RI public broadcasting station. Paul, she added, has a marvelous voice.

In fact all four of their children have beautiful voices and they play musical instruments. Only Linda pursued music as a career, writing and singing her own songs.

Although most of you will never experience an evening like the Chorneys had, you can always put on your best duds, listen to Linda Chorney’s CD “Emotional Jukebox” and dream.

We critique each other’s work each week and constructively offer improvement suggestions. Our group is diligently working on pieces for our next themed show, “The Blues”, which will hang in May. Join us if you are artfully inclined or just to see and learn what we do to create attractive artwork for your home.

Watercolor John Ebert 818-1830 Registration Irma Franke 825-1198 irmawf@comcast.net Tuesdays, Thursdays, 9 AM-4 PM, Catalina Vista/Art

Perhaps you have noted watercolor paintings exhibited without glass or Plexiglas. They are creations from Robert Jennette’s class, where watercolor canvas is used. The final painting is sprayed with a fixative several times to give it protection without glass or Plexiglas. One is able to see the depth of color without glare. Watercolor classes will resume for painters in the fall, so plan to join.

“One becomes in time so sensitive to color harmony that the instant one puts on a false spot of color, it hurts, like the wrong note in music,” William Merritt Chase.

“Gluttony” claims Thomas Hobbes, “is a lust of the mind.” Whether you agree or disagree, join us for another look at the sin of gluttony, April 4 as Anne Ketchum leads us in a discussion of Famine by Xu Xi. Pablo Neruda uses the language of poetry to capture an aspect of lust: “I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.” Our discourse may be less poetic but expect it to be lively as we explore how lust is portrayed in Not a Good Girl by Perri Klass, April 18, with Harold Goldman as our guide.

May 2, our last meeting of the season, Esther Berlot will help us analyze how lust plays a role in Nathan Englander’s For the Relief of Unbearable Urges.
