MAGAZINE

Edition 399 Published monthly by Sun City Summerlin Community Association, Inc. 9107 Del Webb Boulevard Las Vegas, Nevada 89134 (702) 966-1401 · www.Suncitysummerlin.com Staff Mitzi Mills, Editor, MitziM@suncitylv.com Gail Abrams, Magazine Coordinator GailA@suncitylv.com · (702) 966-1436 Eileen Dorchak, Administrative Coordinator EileenD@suncitylv.com · (702) 966-1435 Advertising, Website, Marketing Kelly-Mae Mahoney, Advertising Coordinator KellyM@suncitylv.com · (702) 966-1434 Stacie Coppens, Website & Marketing Coordinator · StacieC@suncitylv.com Editorial Board Richard Becker, Leo Crawford, Molly Sher, Alan Spector, Patti Tripp, Norman Wright and BOD Liaison, Erik Braun.

F

irst of all, we all owe John Berthelsen and Leo Crawford a huge thank you for their service on the Board. Both served as past Presidents and Chaired a variety of Committees. It is my hope that they will stay active in our community and help us all to continue making Sun City Summerlin the most desired Active Adult Community in the nation.

Secondarily, congratulations to Erik Braun and Lynn Kasner Morgan for their election to the Board. We look forward to your contributions and thoughts.

We have made it through another budget process. I am confident that we will reach a budget for Fiscal 2025 that we can all accept and strive to adhere to.

A blast email was sent out in mid-March that documented the status of our Reserve Funding. It is likely that some did not welcome this information, but I felt that it was more important to be very transparent with this information, rather than have any surprises as we went through the budget process.

Hopefully, many of you read it and took the opportunity to bring your questions and comments to the budget hearings.

Our community has proven through the years to be very resilient. We have faced tough issues in the past and have always come out the other side as a better and stronger community. We now face this financial challenge. It will be no different than past challenges. I am confident that with the help of our excellent Administrative Staff, the Board and input from our community at large, we too will put this challenge behind us.

Thank you in advance for your support. We will need to walk a fine line these next few years to balance the desire for new Capital Spending versus funding our Reserves. Rest assured that we as a Board will always strive to do what is best for the community and our Jeff Rorick, President property values.

Welcoming Sun City Summerlin’s 2024-2025 Board Of Directors

By John Berthelsen, Past President, Sun City Summerlin Board of Directors What is the Board of Directors? The Sun City Summerlin Community Association, Inc.’s Board of Directors is an unpaid voluntary team of homeowners elected by the Association members to administer the assets and oversee the management of the Association. They are responsible for approving the annual budget and ensuring our facilities are maintained. The President of the Board is its Chairperson.

How Does the Board of Directors Work? Directors hold monthly board meetings. They propose and approve policies, authorize expenditures, and determine major community-interest decisions. Board Members have staggered terms, with three of the nine positions elected each year for a three-year term.

Why Does the Board of Directors Matter? The Board of Directors has a fiduciary duty to the Association’s members. Per Nevada Statutes, this means “In the performance of their duties, the officers and members of the executive board are fiduciaries and shall act on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that their actions are in the best interest of the Association.” By law, Board Members are the only community members who have the authority and fiduciary responsibility to ensure the community’s long-term relevance and help protect Association property values.

Committees, Liaisons, Resident Volunteers: Sun City Summerlin has standing committees which are responsible for providing the Board with evaluation, suggestions, proposals, research, and recommendations. Each committee is dedicated to specific functions and processes. Board Members rely on resident volunteers who make up the committees’ working team to enhance the Association’s operations.

“As I See It . . . ” Things Are Different Now

By Alan G. Spector / Link

Ÿ We are less willing to stay on the couch... we realize that today is a gift - are we going to waste it? Ÿ We always cherished our loved ones, but there is an even greater urgency to not waste a second with them or miss one opportunity to create loving and lasting memories. Ÿ This is the perfect time to rethink what’s most important in our lives. Funny how sometimes we waste our time on emotions or activities which really don’t matter that much in the scheme of things, and which do not bring us satisfaction and joy. This is a good time to shed the negatives in our lives which sap our energy and zest for life.

Almost 3 years ago, Mitzi asked me, “What different things are you doing, now that we have COVID upon us?” My answer was that I was not doing different things... but rather that I was doing things differently. (Either she loved that answer OR she Ÿ Could there be a better time to ‘‘fulfill our bucket lists” just needed a volunteer writer for the LINK – I still don’t know than today? Now? ASAP? While we can? It would be which!) such a shame to have to say “I wish I had... “or “I could At any rate, here we are 33 months later, and I am still putthave... “. ing my thoughts on paper for the LINK. I have been thinking lately. You know what? Things really are different now. A Ÿ We can put things in perspective. We obviously attend to recent study showed that only 1 in 4 people say their lives are the big things in our lives... so now we can be sure we completely back to normal! I can see some negative changes savor all the small moments – we might find out they that make some more anxious and cranky, in the same way as are the ones that matter the most – seeing the sunset or those who lived through the Great Depression, never seemed to smelling the flowers or sharing a smile are HUGE – do view money in the same way again. Sixty years after the crash we take them for granted? of 1929, my folks still watched every penny as if it could disapWe sure found out that things change suddenly and without pear without warning... just as we now are more careful to go warning. Nowadays we can be more open to change – the in crowds and are more diligent to get our flu and other shots. change WE want and create. Now we can live sort of “designer lives” and WE are the designers!!

But lately, I have realized that things really are different... I see all the wonderful things that are different now, and I am so grateful for them. (As you probably know, I have always believed that GRATITUDE is the most powerful, transformative, and beneficial attitude ever available to us! It is so good for us... and so great for the others around us.)

So here are just some of the things we can celebrate as wonWe all have survived some challenging times and perhaps derful and positive aspects of our lives TODAY! even some sadnesses, yet we have survived, and now we have the opportunity (yes, even the obligation) to learn and grow and Ÿ We place a renewed value of life – we take nothing for share alongside our loved ones and friends. Life is a gift... granted – there are no promises of tomorrow. unwrap it, enjoy it, and share it.

You & Your Dog - Spreading the Love

D

o you have a little extra time to spare? Would you like to make a big difference in someone’s life, while at the same time spending some quality time with your dog? We all know the healing power of our own pets, be they dogs, cats, birds, fish or any other animal, and I have written in the past about the unconditional love that pets can offer us. However, I recently came across Dog Therapy Appreciation Day on April 11, 2024, and was curious to learn about the benefits of dog therapy. I had no idea of the scope of blessings these dogs can bring.

The history of therapy pets can be traced back to as early as 600 BC. The Greeks were the first to notice that the presence of horses seemed to lift the spirits of seriously ill patients.

In Notes on Nursing, published in 1860, Florence Nightingale introduced the concept of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) in her work. In the 1600s, physicians used horses to improve the physical and mental health of patients.

Sigmund Freud, for example, was fascinated with the bond between people and dogs. In a thesis he wrote in 1933 regarding the concept of the human-animal bond, he said that people require interaction with animals. Freud was very fond of his own dogs and used them to soothe his patients suffering from anxiety. His work, in turn, ignited a drive towards

further research into more formal studies concerning dog therapy.

By the 1940s, the American Red Cross had been using farm animals to treat war veterans suffering from injury or illness, and therapeutic animals continue to be used to this day. I suspect as we continue to learn further about how beneficial animals are in helping humans, we will see more and more animals used for this service.

Any dog can be a therapy dog as long as the dog has a good personality towards people and is receptive to training.

According to Healthcare Business Today, approximately 81.8% of autistic children prefer to play with dogs, the dogs helping to calm them to actually access common human emotions while playing with the pets. The article goes on to say that when dogs are paired with children who have learning challenges, the children improve their reading skills as they read to the dog in a judgment-free zone.

We already know the benefits of what a therapy dog can do for hospital patients and for residents in assisted living. Many studies have been done that reflect the joy that therapy dogs bring to these environments.

In addition, while it is a federal crime to misrepresent your dog as a service dog, there are many benefits you and your dog may receive as a result of this training and volunteering; therapy dogs are allowed in restaurants, airplanes and even landlords are required to waive an animal restriction if the dog has the proper credentials.

What an amazing way to give back to the world by spreading the deep love you have for your dog!

If you are interested in having your dog participate in the therapeutic process of bringing love and joy to others, listed below is a source for you to explore regarding educational requirements, licenses and registration.

NATIONAL

APRIL 20TH We remember the days when there WERE record stores – those days are long gone and don’t exist anymore.

We could stop in to browse what the charts showed back then – ...from the Platters, Brenda Lee, to Dion’s “Where or When”.

78’s were still sold, then 45’s came to be – ...technology in progress – what comes next? Let us see...

There were songs on the radio we could now have at home with no option to simply download on our phone!

Then along came Hi-Fi’s, and the sound sure improved, the music was changing as did our dance moves.

Before long we had stereos, bigger than most TV’s took up one whole wall, displayed for all to see.

Then 8 tracks appeared, and devices soon changed, but the cross-over bleed could make listening quite strange.

We progressed to cassettes, so much smaller in size as we carried our Walkman, and our shirts were tie-died!

We made our mixed tapes and were ever so proud – and our parents complained – “Turn it down, it’s too loud!”

Soon we’re burning CD’s we could play in our car and so, now today, let us see where we are.

We seem to get music just out of thin air – with your phone or computer, and it seems to be there.

The stores seemed to fade; Tower Records are gone.

How we listened got smaller, but we still sing along.

We can tune in and listen anywhere, anytime, or download it forever from Amazon Prime.

We bought needles, or cleaners, records came in all speeds.

There were stores where we’d go that fulfilled all our needs.

Record stores now extinct, just like Radio Shack.

Same as payphones and Disco - and there’s no going back.

Perhaps the next step is an implant device where a tap on the wrist will now play something nice.

I do miss the time there were stores we would shop and they’d put on the record, maybe “Queen of the Hop”?

Marvin Gaye, Buddy Holly - vinyl records were king – when record stores were a “few of my favorite things”!

So many things changed and the Internet rules and our lives overwhelmed with some intricate tools.

But here’s to the memories of the days we once knew – the good old days now belong to just me and you!

FITNESS

S

Welcome to Pool Season 2024 By Fitness Department Staff It’s April. The warm weather months are ahead, and our beautiful outdoor pools are open for the season. It’s the season to relax around the pool with friends, enjoy the sun and water exercise. But before you pack up your pool gear, we’d like to offer some reminders to help you enjoy your time at the pool.

All pools are maintained in accordance with rules and requirements of the Southern Nevada Health District, which include taking a warm, cleansing shower before entering the water. Additional Southern Nevada Health District rules can be found on signs posted in all pool areas. A brochure containing Sun City Summerlin pool and spa rules, and etiquette may be obtained from the Fitness Center Monitor on duty. We encourage you to become familiar with these and abide by them. You can find schedules for operating hours, classes and club activities published each month in the Link Magazine.

Wear proper bathing attire and bring dedicated shoes for your time poolside. Street shoes track in dirt and contaminants.

If you wish to wear shoes in the water, use dedicated water walking or canvas shoes that are not worn outside.

Guests are welcome. You can obtain Guest Passes at the Fitness Center’s Monitor Desk or – if you are unable to accompany your guests – through the Fitness Department office. Familiarize your guests with all rules.

Children are welcome at the Pinnacle Pool, Desert Vista Indoor Pool and the Mountain Shadows Pool. To enter the pool or pool area, all children must be at least 42 inches tall without shoes. Children’s hours are published in the Link Magazine and Sun City Summerlin rule brochures available from the Fitness Monitor.

Marked pool lanes are assigned by the Monitor and limited to 30-minutes if others are waiting. Be respectful of others who are waiting for their turn.

You’ll see some new furniture at the pools this season, as well as many chairs and chaises that were refurbished over the winter. Enjoy using them while at poolside and please be 5 4 | L I N K M A G A Z I N E |

mindful that others may be waiting, especially during busy times.

One final note, summer can mean thunderstorms and there may be times when the Monitor must clear the pool area for everyone’s safety.

Our Fitness Monitors are well trained. Their job is to carry out the rules fairly for everyone’s benefit and to help all residents have a safe and enjoyable time at the pool.

We look forward to seeing you.

Center in Boulder City. The drive was tedious, so he found a job closer to home and drove his golf cart to nearby Royal Springs returning to his roots working in Infection Prevention (IP). In 2016, Norm was the runner-up in IP care. In 2018, he was awarded IP leader by the March of Dimes, and in 2023 he received a lifetime achievement award.

Norm got his FCC ham license (K7NOR) last year and he continues to volunteer his time.

He is on the Board of the Nevada Norm skydiving. Nurses Association and writes articles on IP. In our community, Norm is on the CCOC committee, the Link Editorial Board, and the Neighborhood Preparedness Team. Norm enjoys working with the different clubs, with Mitzi, and residents to promote Sun City Summerlin as an active, vibrant community that supBy Gail Abrams / Link ports each other as we go through life changes. “Neighbors helpNorman (Norm) shares a life-changing story about a teenager named Hector Del Valle. At 17, Hector was drinking and driving ing neighbors, is the goal,” says Norm.

About 25 years ago, Norm was working with a patient in a when his vehicle crashed in 1982. Hector became a quadriplewheelchair, unable to walk. He said: “I wish I had done xyz… gic (no use of his body from the chest down). Norm met Hector when I was physically able to.” Those words hit Norm hard. He six weeks later. Hector said: “What you see is what you get. adopted the mantra: “Get out there and do it. Don’t let fear stop Where do we go from here?” Seeing the potential to rehabilitate you. Focus on the positive.” Norman went skydiving a few and go on with his life the focus was on vocational rehabilitaweeks ago. It was on his bucket list as he approached his 75th tion. Hector wanted to become an advocate against drunk drivbirthday.

In fact, when President George H.W. Bush celebrated ing. his 75th birthday by skydiving, Norman said to himself: “If I After leaving the rehabilitation hospital Hector returned to make it to 75, I’m going skydiving.” And he did. Go to this link high school to finish his degree. Norm helped write the speech Hector delivered to his high school graduating class about the dan- to see a video of the jump https://youtu.be/DDe9-rHpeLY .

Norm looks back on his life and shares this valuable quote: gers of drinking and driving. Two national networks and the New “Focus on what you have, not what you don’t have.”

York newspapers covered his graduation speech. The next day, Hector got a call from President Reagan congratulating him on his Hector and Norm mission to help others. During the next two years, Hector and at the Rio Hotel Norm worked with the New Jersey Governor and the Bergen Big Wheel.

County Council on Alcoholism. Auto insurance procured a van so Hector could visit New Jersey high schools to deliver his message: Don’t drink and drive! In 1984, President Reagan was running for reelection. Hector was invited to share the stage with the President (at his former high school). It made National news again! Norm was invited as Hector's only guest.

Norm’s Greatest Accomplishment: Helping Hector realize his dreams. Hector went on to college and got his Master’s in Social Services. Forty-two years later Hector remains a happy, productive citizen offering help to others!

Norm is very proud to be a male R.N. (he became one back in the 1970s) and later served as Director of Nursing. Norm and his wife Barbara moved to Sun City Summerlin 10 years ago working as the Director of Nursing at Mountain View Care

Concerns with pigeon nesting and feeding are well known in our community. In fact, feeding pigeons is banned throughout the City of Las Vegas and can result in fines upwards of $1000. This ban illustrates the City’s concerns for safety, health and damage issues that are known to be caused by pigeons.

The following is excerpted from a reputable Solar Panel Cleaning and Pigeon Mitigation website: Damage to Property: Because pigeon droppings are highly acidic, they can cause corrosive damage to buildings and homes. Also, nests can block gutters and drainage which can led to floating and other water damages.

Over the months the Community Standards Office has seen a steady flow of new Solar installation applications. Las Vegas reportedly has perfect weather to generate adequate electricity to help offset increasing electrical costs and, Sun City Summerlin residents have taken notice.

The news media is quick to report the pros and cons of the Solar phenomenon and there’s no shortage of reports of good and bad. We are not here to debate any of the generalities but wish to provide insights from our own experiences in dealing with the Solar application process. Ÿ Read the contractual fine print! The pages-long contracts have some interesting tidbits that often go unnoticed. They need to be read and, more importantly, they need to be understood. Ÿ With Sun City Summerlin now 35 years old, many of our roofs are reaching the end of their original life expectancies. Roof repair warranties need to be understood. Know that a 25–30-year-old roof has its limitations and understand exactly what roof repairs are covered under the Solar warranty. Ÿ Many Solar companies are doing business in Sun City Summerlin. According to Forbes, over 100 Solar companies filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. in 2023. Consider if your installer will be around to honor your warranty! Ÿ Solar panels have a diminishing life span. Panels require ongoing cleaning and maintenance to help prolong their efficiencies.

Health Issues: Pigeons can be a serious health hazard for humans. They carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans through bird droppings or directly by pigeons. When the droppings dry out, they produce harmful particles in the air that can cause respiratory problems in humans.

Fire Risk: The materials that pigeons use to build nests, i.e., twigs, roots, and leaves, are more prone to catch fire. Also, pigeons usually nest in chimneys or hot places which can easily lead to fire.

We hope you find this information useful.

Susan, Barry and Mark returning from Calico Basin.

Bike Club leaving Sun City Summerlin.

Welcome to our Bike Club, a vibrant community born 12 years ago from the enthusiasm of outdoor lovers. We’ve grown from a handful of hiking club members to a diverse group of cyclists, sharing a passion for adventure and the great outdoors.

Our rides offer something for everyone, whether you're a fan of e-bikes or traditional road bikes. We embark on 20-mile journeys that last about 2 hours, including a leisurely break in one of the scenic parks dotting our route. With a pace of 11 to 12 mph, we strike a perfect balance between challenge and enjoyment.

We meet at Desert Vista on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Sun Shadows on Saturdays. See Link Magazine for current start times. Our routes are thoughtfully chosen to ensure safety and breathtaking views. Steve Cherry, our past president, suggested adding links of recent ride reports to a few of our favorite destinations (Calico Basin and Floyd Lamb Park), featuring lots of great pictures. Input the links manually: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/146950077 and https://ridewithgps.com/trips/113663315.

Beyond our regular rides, some members participate in events like the Honor Ride for Vets, 3 Ft for Pete, Tour of Summerlin, Memorial Ride, and the Nevada Park to Park Ride.

This adds a sense of community and purpose to our cycling endeavors. The inclusion of e-bikes has welcomed cyclists of varying fitness levels into our 55 Plus Age community, ensuring that everyone can keep pace, regardless of age or ability.

During a ride, our bike club sprang into action when we witnessed a bus driver being attacked by a passenger. We intervened, chasing the assailant away, and promptly called 911.

While a member followed the suspect to guide the police, others stayed to comfort the driver, jokingly offering whiskey for the pain until help arrived. This moment of bravery and quick thinking underscored our club's spirit: more than cyclists, we're a community ready to support and protect.

Joining us means more than just cycling; it’s about safety, camaraderie, and the joy of exploration. It's about living life to the fullest, surrounded by friends who share your passion.

Ready for your next adventure? It starts with us. For more information, please e-mail Gary Trowbridge at: scsbikeclub@gmail.com.
