Executive Update
By Steve Campbell
General Manager
Now that we are into our summer
season, things are slowing down within
the community. On the developer front,
outside our walls, things are becoming
active.
The first is the Domani project,
located at Avenue 42 and Adams Avenue
near the Auto Mall. This proposed
project includes 202 single family
homes in a gated, 55-plus community
which will include a clubhouse, dog
park, green belts and a concrete storm
drainage project constructed by
CVWD. The project is still in the
approval process with Riverside
County, CVWD and FEMA. To date,
the project area has a construction
fence, the brush and trees have been
cleared and soil stabilizer has been
applied. The Association does not have
a firm timetable on the construction.
The second project is the proposed
1289-unit Virada planned community
(formally Fiesta de Vida) located at the
end of Adams Avenue wrapping around
SCPD to the North and the West,
eventually connecting to Coyote Song
Drive. This project is more complicated
due to the proposed mixed use.
As proposed, the 656.34-acre mixeduse master planned community is
comprised of 1,289 single and multifamily residential units (1- and 2-story),
including single-family homes, attached
flats, condominiums, apartments and
duplex units within various planning
areas/neighborhoods. In addition to
residential neighborhoods, the project
includes a 106-acre community park, a
6.56-acre community shared solar array,
community open space and recreation in
the form of parks (to be dedicated to the
City of Indio), a 3.07-acre community
center with a clubhouse, fitness center,
a new fire station and a 2.09-acre
commercial use area (3,000 square feet)
with a demonstration garden (xeriscape
plants) at the entrance to the
community. The project also includes
open space associated with a utility
corridor (81.78 acres) and the Indio
Hills (166.90 acres). At this point, no
development is proposed.
450 nearby residents have received a
Notice of Availability of a Draft Initial
Study/Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Mitigated Negative Declaration and a
draft Specific Plan/Project Master Plan
and Notice of a Public Hearing from the
City of Indio. Per the notice, for more
information log on to the City of Indio’s
website at www.indio.org. Tab to the
Development Services Department’s
page and tab down to the Virada
PMB/SP link. For further information,
contact Mamun Farque, Senior Planner
at 760-541-4252.
Because of the importance of this
planning process, the Board of
Directors has assembled a team of legal
and planning professionals to review
the plan, communicate with the City of
Indio, and to represent SCPD at the
public hearings. Our goal is to provide
the residents of Sun City Palm Desert
professional representation to ensure
that the City of Indio considers all of
SCPDCA’s concerns and in particular
the land use compatibility with our
community.

financial report
through april 2016
By Todd Chaloux, Finance Director
Through April 2016 the Association
has a positive variance to budget in the
amount of $386,429 with April showing
a positive variance of $111,857. The
majority of this variance, both year to date
6
July 2016
and for the month of April, comes from
continued savings in the Association
Maintenance departments. Although
some of this variance is coming from
some temporary timing differences, the
lion’s share of the variance is now
permanent and the year-end forecast
has seen an increase over the March
financials. The year-end forecast now
shows a positive variance in the amount
of $333,849.
By now all homeowners should have
received the annual Budget Report and
Policy Statement along with the golf
letter. If you did not receive this
package or have questions about the
information that was contained within
the report please contact the Finance
Office for assistance.
Another fiscal year has come and
gone which means that it is time for
the Finance department to begin
preparations for the annual audit of the
Associations financials. The accounting
firm of Lund & Guttry will once again
perform the audit in late August and
early September. Once completed all
homeowners will be mailed a copy of
the Association’s annual audited
financial statements.

Blow Sand!
Mosquitoes and Bees!
Mother Nature has done it again! Due
to lack of rain and gusty winds, she’s
left us lots of blow sand. Remember,
it’s your responsibility to keep concrete
and other surfaces free of sand and to
maintain your property in excellent
condition. You can get angry with
Mother Nature, but she, unfortunately,
won’t remove the sand for you.
Good news. The Association is
granting an extension until October 1,
2016 to remedy insufficient rock
coverage and bare dirt violations
caused by blow sand issues. Excessive
areas of insufficient rock coverage or
bare dirt NOT related to blow sand
issues will not be granted an extension.
Our residents’ dedication in
maintaining their property and helping
to keep SCPDCA beautiful is greatly
appreciated.
If you see areas of standing water, or
know of a fountain or swimming pool
that has been neglected, these are
places just begging for mosquitoes to
breed. Nobody wants to be bitten by
these nasty little creatures that delight
in spreading disease. Please take the
initiative to contact the Coachella
Valley Mosquito and Vector Control at
760-342-8287. They will come very
quickly to treat the water and eliminate
the problem.
It is also bee-swarming season. If
you see an area in which bees are
swarming, notify Sun City Maintenance.
They will come and yellow tape the
area off and will arrange for bee
professionals to take care of them.
LEC members may enter your
property Monday–Friday, 9-4, and do
their best not to disturb you.

Community Patrol
By Erik Stacklie
Community Patrol Director
The dog days of summer are upon us, and
that means one thing…extreme heat. Those
of us that live here year round tolerate the
heat as much as we can. Our time might be
spent staying indoors until the evening
hours or there are those of us that are out
and about during the day.
With temperatures averaging 107-110
degrees, one must protect themself while
outside. When the body heats too quickly to
cool itself safely or when you lose too
much fluid or salt through dehydration or
sweating, your body temperature rises and
heat-related illnesses may develop.
According to the National Weather
Service, “Heat is the number one weatherrelated killer in the United States, resulting
in hundreds of fatalities each year. In fact,
on average, excessive heat claims more lives
each year than floods, lightning, tornadoes,
and hurricanes combined.” Here are some
tips to help you through the summer months:
• Slow Down. Reduce, eliminate or reschedule
strenuous activities until the coolest time of the
day.
• Dress for summer. Wear lightweight, lightcolored clothing to reflect heat and sunlight.
• Drink plenty of water. Your body needs water
to keep cool. Drink plenty of fluids even if you
do not feel thirsty.
• Do not get too much sun. Sunburn reduces
your body’s ability to dissipate heat.
These are some heat disorder symptoms to
look for:
• Sunburn: Redness and pain. In severe cases
swelling of skin, blisters, fever, and headaches.
• Heat Cramps: Painful spasms usually in the
muscles of legs and abdomen with heavy
sweating.
• Heat Exhaustion: Heavy sweating; weakness;
cold, pale, clammy skin; thread pulse;
fainting and vomiting but may have a normal
temperature. Seek medical attention if needed.
• Heat Stroke: High body temperature (106
degrees or higher), hot dry skin, rapid and
strong pulse, possible unconsciousness.
Seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY!
By taking care of our bodies, while we are
out in the heat, we can avoid becoming a
heat-related victim. Stay safe residents of
Sun City Palm Desert.

Posted Stop Signs
Posted stop signs are meant
for golf carts and bicycles, too.
Citations will be issued for
failure to stop.Riding bicycles
on the sidewalks is NOT
permitted at any time!
Prevent Rust Stains
on Driveways
One of the main reasons
for rust stains on driveways
is due to washing golf carts on
driveways. Acid from batteries
drips onto the driveway which
causes unsightly rust.

Committee Reports
Compliance Committee
By Betty Davidow, Chair
What would our lives be like with no HOA Rules and
Regulations or the Community Patrol that needs to enforce
them?
That is a scary thought! History shows us that
communities cannot exist without law and order. In one of
the District presentations, someone asked me why the
patrol people just sit waiting at the corner for a person not
to stop at a stop sign or to be checking for speeding. They
thought it was a waste of time and the patrol person could
be doing something else. The community’s rules and
regulations do need to be enforced for our own safety.
There was also a suggestion to have yield signs replace
stop signs. Just think of replacing four way stop signs with
four way yield signs and ask would this be beneficial? The
question is “who goes first?”
The community patrol cruises our neighborhoods
regularly to make sure all is well both day and night. Yes,
they can close your garage door if they cannot contact you.
If there is an emergency within our community, they are
there to assist and equipped with fire extinguishers and
defibrillators if needed, and can assist the Emergency
Medical Teams.
It is a responsibility of the patrol to recognize rule
violations and cite individuals responsible. After a citation,
the next step in the process is Compliance. We should
all appreciate the Community Patrol’s role in keeping
SCPD safe.
Happy 4th of July! BE SAFE AND FOLLOW THE
RULES.
CSI Committee
By Sue Rogoff, Vice Chair
Summer is in full swing in the desert and Sun City is no
exception. As the saying goes, ‘things are hopping.’ Even
though many clubs and committees have gone dark there
is still plenty for the ‘sunbirds’ to do. Be sure to read the
club articles to learn about their upcoming events.
Summer is also a good time to start a new fitness
program. The fitness centers are not crowded so you’ll be
able to work out without a hassle and you can make some
new friends while getting into shape.
If you’re still looking for something meaningful to do,
you might attend some committee meetings. The Lifestyle
Enhancement Committee (LEC) and the
Emergency Preparedness Committee
(EPC) are always on the lookout for new
members. You might also investigate
the many Resident Groups in Sun City.
These groups offer invaluable assistance
to our residents and they can always
use additional help. Please read the
Committee and Resident Group articles
for information on their services.
During the summer months when
others are ‘playing’ and enjoying desert
activities, the CSI Committee will be
hard at work revamping the New
Resident Welcome Program and getting
ready for the annual Community Expo
in November. Stay tuned for updated
information in the coming months.
As always, I encourage you to go out
and get involved – either by joining a
club or committee or just socializing
with your neighbors. Remember, you
get out what you put in!
Library Committee
By Mary Tapley
With the beginning of a new fiscal year,
the Library Committee has changes in
positions of its members to announce.
The Committee members are as follows:
Mary Tapley, Chair; Susan Schubert,
Vice-Chair; Jeanne Esserman, Secretary;
Jill Stone, Treasurer; Diane Von Kaenel,
Trainer; Lenore Leon, Dee Maguire,
Mary Ann Manion and Marvin Vernon.
Although Susan Schubert decided to
step aside as Chair, we are pleased that
she has agreed to become the Vice
Chair. I would like to thank Susan for
her leadership and guidance as Library
Chair the past 6 years.
Currently there are 52 volunteers
working in the library for a minimum
of two hours each week. Many thanks
to all of our volunteers, past and
present, whose service is valued and
necessary to ensure that the library
functions smoothly and efficiently. Also
necessary for the Library to operate at
all is the very much appreciated
generosity of our residents who donate
gently used books, magazines, audio
books, movies and puzzles in addition
to monetary donations. The monetary
donations are used to purchase Large
Print Books and supplies.
I would also like to thank John
Annarino for his article in the May
2016, News & Views column about the
Library. He mentioned that our Library
works on the honor system, which is a
system that works well due to the
thoughtfulness of residents who return
library items in a timely fashion.
Thanks to all who help keep the Library
a place to enjoy.
Public Safety
By Ray Norris
The core of the Senior “Scam” (fraud)
problem is simply people being duped
into providing personal information to
an unsolicited phone caller or Internet
contact. This sounds simple, however,
the fraudsters are very good at what
they do. They present themselves as
some financial institution, department
of the government or a charitable
organization, or even worse, some “get
money quick” investment scheme.
One particularly odious scheme is
for the fraudsters to get personal
information from an obituary and contact
the surviving spouse, suggesting that
some forgotten insurance is available if
the surviving spouse will just confirm
some personal data. We need to be
vigilant at all times. Searching for
helpful information about fraud on the
Internet can also be daunting, and it
seems that some of the helpful web
sites could be a center for deception
itself. So choose a site that is not an
advertisement and one that has a
legitimate ring to it, such as this FBI
site: https://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/
fraud/seniors.
A frequently mentioned issue is that
seniors do not register complaints
regarding fraudulent issues. The below
site is part of the FBI web page to
file a complaint: http://www.ic3.gov/
complaint/ default.aspx.
Another source that has solely to do
with fraudulent investment schemes is
the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority. They initiated the FINRA
Securities Helpline for Seniors (844)
574-3577. Checking on advisers is an
invaluable asset.
In order to help protect SCPD, the
Public Safety Committee urges possible
scam victims from SCPD to telephone
the Riverside County Sheriff ’s
Department (760) 836-3215, and select
“option 5.” This is the dispatch center,
and may result in a Deputy responding
to your home, or creating a report via
telephone contact. This information
also needs to be reported to SCPD
Community Patrol (760) 360-6026.
Remember, the ultimate prevention
of fraud is to never provide personal
information to callers or Internet
contacts. (Your banks, your credit
card companies, and your financial
investment organizations already know
your pertinent information.)
Website Committee
By Jose Mariscal
Editing a website for your club,
committee, district or organization can
be interesting, educational and fun.
We encourage anyone interested in
learning about websites to contact
Marcos in our Finance Department at
[email protected] or call
700-200-2134 or contact Jose at
[email protected].
The recent software conversion from
Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 is complete. All
web editors should be working on a
published site in Drupal 7.
The website committee held two
basic training sessions this spring and
plans are underway for more in the fall.
These dates will be announced in News
& Views and on the website. We hope
to offer more advanced classes through
Committee Reports · July 2016

Committee Reports
…continued
the season. Any editor who would like to teach a class can
contact Marcos.
A monthly meeting of web editors is available on the
second Wednesday of each month at 3 p.m. in the Sunset
View Clubhouse. New material is presented and editors have
a chance to ask questions and get some personalized help
with their sites. Due to the transition from Drupal 6 to 7 it is
strongly suggested that all editors attend these monthly
meetings.
The Website Committee is looking for a fourth member
with ideas on making sure the Sun City site is user friendly.
The committee serves only as an advisory to the IT staff who
handles the technical aspects of the site.
If you have any questions, email Julie Poe, Chairman, at
[email protected].

If you haven’t been going to karaoke, you’ve been missing out
on a very good time.
Karaoke kicks off every Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in
the Mountain View Clubhouse. And it’s been drawing a big,
fun-loving crowd.
Karaoke gives the singer a stage on which to perform – and
the opportunity to sing to recorded music, typically a well-known
song minus the lead vocal. Because the lyrics are displayed on
a video screen, the audience sometimes sings along. One’s
reminded of the karaoke-styled program, “Sing Along With
Mitch,” hosted by Mitch Miller on NBC in the 60’s.
Karaoke attracts an interesting mix of singers. Some have
beautiful voices and are a joy to listen to. Others, perfect
strangers to perfect pitch, sing for the sheer joy of singing. But,
in my book, all the singers are the bravest of souls, worthy of
Grammys.
Songs run the gamut. Sing-along crowd-pleasers like “Sweet
Caroline” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You.” Love songs
like “Unforgettable” and “At Last.” And songs that are almost
anthems: “The Impossible Dream,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone”
and Paul Anka’s ubiquitous “My Way.” Ironically, Frank
Sinatra, for whom the song was written and who sang it a
zillion times, told audiences he had come to hate the song. Just
as I have.
Charles Fitzgerald, better known as “Fitz,” has been hosting
Sun City karaoke for 15 years. And he sings as well as he hosts.
Beverly Reinhart has been his able assistant for seven years. “If
you like to sing,” said Fitz, “you ought to give our Wednesday
night karaoke a try. And don’t worry about being nervous.
You’ll find you’re having too much fun to be nervous and you’ll
find an audience that’s more than happy to give a listen.”
I asked some members of the karaoke audience what they
thought of karaoke. One said, “Hey, it’s free entertainment.
What’s not to like?” Another said, “You couldn’t pay me to get
up there and sing!” Another said, “If they were all great singers,
it wouldn’t be karaoke.”
Then I asked if they knew how to spell karaoke. “Kareokee,”
said one. “Kariohke,” said another. And a real stab in the dark,
“Careokay.” As for me, I had to look it up in the dictionary.
But no matter how you spell it, karaoke can weave a spell.
A spell that a lot of Sun City people love being under.

Still Dancing After 70 Years of Marriage!
By Joy Porrello
Meeting Norman and Ruth Brill makes one smile and feel
good all over. In March, this lovely couple celebrated their
70th wedding anniversary and they’re still very much in love!
They hug and kiss each other every night before bedtime,
definitely an excellent formula for staying happily married.
The Brills met as teenagers, Norman was 16, Ruth 15.
Norman, a native Californian, had started in a new school.
Ruth, having moved from Chicago, also started in the same
school. A mutual friend lived in a house with a volleyball
court and ping-pong tables. That’s where Norm spotted a
beautiful girl, Ruth. He asked her to play ping-pong. She beat
him! He knew he had to marry her. He also discovered that
she’s an excellent dancer. They’ve won Swing contests and
love Latin dancing. “We’ve danced our way through life and
are still dancing!” says Norman.
Norman and Ruth went steady for two years and were
serious about getting married. WWII was raging so Norman
went right from high school to the Navy. They decided
marriage should wait until Norman came home. (Of note,
Norman was written about in the Desert Sun as a WWII
Hero. He was a member of a pre-invasion commando team,
among the first to land on the beaches of enemy Pacific
islands.) When he returned, they got married. Norman was
20, Ruth 19. They honeymooned in Palm Springs at the
then Palm Springs Hotel. They have three daughters, six
grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Norman joined Hughes Aircraft in 1950 in the early years
of aerospace. All work was for the military. They designed
and built a fire control system for the F86, one of the first
fighter aircraft. Norman moved on to Litton Industries, Ford
Aerospace and Teledyne Systems. At Litton, they built parts
for electronic systems for aircraft and missiles. At Ford
Aerospace, he was plant manager and they built the
Shillelagh Missile, a tank wireless missile for the Abrams
tank. At Teledyne, they worked with NASA on a system
for the Centaur missiles, which are still flying today. After
putting his daughters through college, he made a career
change to be home more and joined Stanley Works/Mac
Tools. His team became tops in sales. Here in SCPDCA,
where they have lived for 21 years, Norm served on the LEC
for seven years, was District 3 Delegate for five years and
was also the Delegate Chair for two years.
Ruth worked as an Executive Secretary for many large
companies; the major one was American Express where she
handled Skip Tracing. She also worked for Hughes when
Norman was there. Ruth is an incredible artistic talent.
She is an accomplished painter and sculptress. Her works
adorn their home and they are, in a single word, amazing!
Her paintings are so realistic and beautiful. Her sculptures
are masterful. Ruth was very involved in the founding of
SCPDCA’s Art Club and was always a board member
until she retired this year. She has made beautiful ceramics.
She’s also taught calligraphy. Ruth is as talented as she is
beautiful.
The Brills have had a wonderful life together. They have
traveled most of the world and have wonderful memories.
They say they can’t do as much as they used to, but are still
“up!” Their entertainment now is “going to the doctor!” A
sense of humor has also lent itself to 70 wonderful years of
a happy marriage!
Happy Anniversary, Norman and Ruth!

By Rona Subotnik
The Nest
by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney
Hardcover 368 pages · March 22, 2016
The Nest has received an unusual amount of attention for a
first-time writer, perhaps because her very large publisher’s
advance was in the seven figures. The book was in second
place on the New York Times Best Seller List the first week
it was published and first place the second week.
“The Nest” is the term that the four adult children in the
Plumb family used to describe the arrangement their nowdeceased father had made for an inheritance for them. A
very large sum of money was invested and put aside to be
divided equally among the children when the youngest child,
Melody, reached the age of forty. Knowing this has affected
their lives in many ways. That date was approaching.
The novel begins when the eldest, Leo, who had recently
been released from an addiction center, goes to a party
where he had been drinking and flirting with a young
waitress, Matilda. Leo offered her a ride – which turns into
a nightmare – an accident in which the young waitress is
badly hurt. She is rushed to the hospital where her leg is
amputated. Then Matilda becomes a part of the story.
Of the other adult children there is Bea, who had written
a very successful book of short stories, but has not been
able to write anything since. Their brother, Jack, is in a
relationship with Samuel, a lawyer whom he later marries.
The youngest, daughter, Melody, is having financial
problems because her twin daughters are ready for college,
and she does not have the funds for tuition.
There are other interesting characters in the novel, such
as Stephanie, a woman Leo meets and has a very serious
relationship with. Another is Tommy, a stranger who
becomes part of the family story; as a security guard he
worked on clearing the aftermath of 9/11, where he finds a
famous sculpture but keeps it secret. The twins also have
a secret life no one knows about. To add to the interest,
Leo meets and starts a relationship with Stephanie, a book
agent, who then plays a big part in his life and the life of the
family as well.
The book is filled with such twists and turns that will hold
the interest of the reader. I think you will find it a good read.

Walt Keiser’s
Fast, Fanciful & Fun Toy Collection
By Penny Pence Smith
Mickey and Minnie Mouse and a host of cartoon friends and
neighbors currently reside in Walt Keiser’s Sun City attic.
Whimsical cutout characters, they are joined by 85 others
including cows, gunslingers, elves and more. And they find
their way to Walt’s yard during the holidays every year,
but they are only a small fraction of the “toys” Walt enjoys
collecting and sharing.
Walt’s colorful cartoon cutouts are only partial evidence
of his whimsical and artistic appetite. He also collects cars
– both adult cars and metal/fiberglass kid’s pedal cars – all
painted vibrantly, suggesting Walt’s passion from owning,
restoring and enjoying some of them. He has been a road and
car “nut” most of his life, racing hot rods and driving a
Harley Davidson motorcycle. All are painted with fiery
pronouncements of their owner’s thirst for extreme
adventure. When he displays them at exhibits, they have his
favorite other “car guy,” Woody Woodpecker at the wheel.
He also has built a miniature reproduction of a 1950’s gas
station – complete with pumps, oilcans and neon signs.
A builder and construction professional by trade, Walt and
wife Donna came to Sun City in 2001, Sun City an extension
to their Santa Rosa, CA family headquarters. No surprise
that more cartoon cutout characters reside there. The lawn
cartoons began 47 years ago when the couple’s son was
three. Today, the grandkids continue to reap the benefit of
Walt’s imagination: cutouts, pedal cars and other whimsies.
He says he is motivated to continue his toy collecting,
building and decorating not only by his own fun in it, but by
seeing others’ delight in it. “People of all ages come by the
house when the cartoon guys are displayed and you can see
the fun in their eyes.” New characters will continue to delight
holiday visitors, says Walt with a mischievous grin. “I’m
working on a line of characters like Elmer Fudd.”

Money Monster
Stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Directed by Jodie Foster
It is seriously not a good idea to take stock investment advice
from a slick, good-looking goofball (Clooney) on television
who acts like he’s a game show host and dances around in
funny hats. Yet millions of people took him at his word about
a totally hot tip that he decreed safer than your savings
account. And yeah, the stock tanked dramatically, losing an
estimated $800 million for its investors. One poor schlub (Jack
O’Connell) sank his entire inheritance ($60K) in that stock
and lost it all. Instead of crying in his beer (what most of the
rest of us would do), he went to the financial network where
Clooney works with a gun and a bomb vest and demanded
answers. The whole world stopped in its tracks to watch this
sad tale unfolding on live TV. This is “reality” as entertainment.
Julia Roberts does a terrific job as Clooney’s director, trying
to keep him (and the situation) calm while trying to find out
what went so horribly wrong. Ms. Foster presents a taut, nailbiting financial thriller and her strong cast delivers big time.
The Nice Guys
Stars Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling and Angourie Rice
Los Angeles 1977. A spectacular car crash starts this twisty,
goofy and surprisingly amusing summer movie with the
unlikely charismatic pairing of Ryan and Russell. Ryan is a
screw-up former cop who’s a slightly inept private eye. He’s
got a bit of a drinking problem and is trying to take care of his
bright and energetic teenage daughter (Angourie). Russell is
a big, beefy guy who knocks people around and gets paid for
it. They meet “kind of not-so-cute” when Russell knocks the
stuffing out of Ryan and tells him to back-off looking for a
woman named Amelia. Then a couple of bad guys knock
Russell around and give him the same message. Hmm, sounds
like something fishy going on. The plot is convoluted and
following it closely is not strictly necessary. Apparently Amelia
has a porno flick tape that’s embedded with information
damaging to the auto industry and a shady lady high up in the
government. The fun is in the action, almost non-stop and
loaded with asides and snide comments. Both the bad guys and
the nice guys have their butts kicked, a lot. Ryan’s daughter gets
caught up in the action and is mostly helpful, and sometimes
even smarter than our heroes. The stunts are high-octane fun.
There’s a fair amount of violence but hey, we know it’s just
make-believe. I would look forward to “Nice Guys 2.”
What’s it like to have the same name as a celebrity?
By John Annarino
It may surprise you to know that Betty White, Jack Jones, David Rose, Robert Hayes and Barbara Hershey live in Sun City.
It surprised me when it came up at a News & Views meeting. I wondered how those residents feel about sharing a name
with a celebrity. So I called and asked them…
“When I call for restaurant or airline reservations,” said Betty
White, “I hasten to mention that no, I’m not the Golden Girl.
Because they enjoy her so much on television, people
always smile when they hear my name. And Betty White isn’t
the only celebrity I’ve been identified with. When I was
younger everybody thought I looked like Carol Burnett!” 2
I called Jack Jones. His wife Bonnie told me Jack died last
November. She also told me how he used to joke that he could
sing just as well as the singer Jack Jones. “But he couldn’t sing
a note,” quipped Bonnie. She also recalled the night they went
to see Jack Jones at the McCallum. “When the usherette learned
my husband’s name, she sent a note to the singer’s dressing room
telling him there was a Jack Jones in the audience. And, sure
enough, when Jack Jones got on stage he had my husband stand
up and take a bow. It was a night to remember!”
“People used to ask me about it,” said Barbara
Hershey. “That was back when the actress starred
with Bette Midler in that popular movie Beaches.
Nowadays I’m only asked if I’m related to the
chocolate family.”
2
David Rose shares his name with the noted
composer once married to Judy Garland and Martha
Raye. “Nobody ever commented on it,” said David,
“but when I was growing up I watched Bonanza
and always enjoyed seeing my name listed in the
credits because David Rose was the composer of
the show.” 2
“My name’s almost the same as the star of that funny Airplane movie,” said Robert
Hayes, “He spelled his name Hays not Hayes. Nobody ever asked me about it, but in the
60’s my golfing buddies often reminded me that I have the same name as the Olympic
sprinter, Robert Hayes, who went on to play for the Dallas Cowboys. He became the first
man to win both an Olympic gold medal and a Super Bowl ring. I got a great kick out of
sharing my name with such a terrific athlete.”
2
Three other Sun City residents with celebrity names — Jerry Brown, Margaret Sullivan
and Robert Evans — weren’t available for comment.
As for me, I don’t share my name with any celebrity. I’m luckier than that. I share my
name with my son John.

Healthnut
By George Boucher, Assistant Fitness Director
July’s Healthnut is
…MoDean McCullough!
MoDean was born in North
Dakota. She graduated from
Medina High and Jamestown
College, earning a Bachelor’s of
Science degree. She met her
husband, Jim, her senior year.
They were married while in
graduate school and have celebrated 52 years of marriage.
Upon graduating from Jamestown College she was
granted a teaching assistantship at the University of North
Dakota. She earned a Master’s of Science degree and was
hired as a full time instructor at the University. After three
years MoDean and Jim sought a warmer climate! They
moved to California, eventually settling in Ventura County.
MoDean had a 33-year career at Moorpark College as a
professor of Health Issues with an emphasis on Domestic
Violence, Rape, Sexual Assault and Self-Defense Tactics.
She wrote a manual that was used as a text for her classes.
She was granted a sabbatical from Ventura County College
District to validate the manual’s self-defense techniques.
To accomplish this, she interviewed inmates in California
Prisons convicted of sexual assault, seeking to learn from
them how they attacked their victims. Upon completing
her research the manual, “Effective Self-Defense Tactics,”
was published by Bellwether Press.
MoDean worked with the College’s Criminal Justice
Professors, Ventura County Judges and District Attorney to
provide seminars on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault
for professionals needing continuing education credits.
At Sun City, MoDean volunteered to teach the Step
Aerobics classes and has for 13 years. Step is a full-body
workout that focuses on cardio and strength. It can be
adapted to all levels of fitness. MoDean loves to golf, is a
member of the Ladies’ Nine-Holers and the Mountain
Vista Ladies Golf. Other interests include movies, reading
and travel, especially road trips with Jim.
Life-long exercise has given MoDean endurance, strength
and energy to prolong a healthy lifestyle. MoDean says,
“If you want to begin an exercise program, find a form of
exercise you enjoy and set aside time to do it, then make a
commitment to do it on a regular basis. If you like upbeat
music, I welcome you to join my class – IT’S FREE!”
Please contact George Boucher at 760-345-0505 if you would like
to be featured as a Healthnut of the month in an upcoming edition.
Thank you!

Health &
Fitness News
By Glenn Smith
Fitness Director
Weight Affects Joint Pain
Is joint pain holding you back? Perhaps an achy ankle or
sore knee is making it difficult to enjoy a run through your
favorite park, or even taking a short walk. Or maybe a
throbbing hip or shoulder prevents you from whacking a
golf ball or performing simple tasks like carrying a bag
of groceries. If you are having the occasional twinge of
joint pain when you go for a walk or climb stairs, or you
are worried about arthritis because a parent had it, one step
toward prevention is to check your weight.
There are two ways being overweight raises your risk
for developing osteoarthritis (the most common joint
disorder, which is due to wear and tear on a joint). First,
excess weight puts additional stress on weight-bearing
joints (the knee, for example). Second, inflammatory
factors associated with weight gain might contribute to
trouble in other joints (for example, the hands).
Let us look at weight and your knees. When you walk
across level ground, the force on your knees is the
equivalent of 1 1/2 times your body weight. This means a
200-pound man will put 300 pounds of pressure on his
knees with each step. Add an incline, and the pressure is
even greater: the force on each knee is two to three times
your body weight when you go up and down stairs, and
four to five times your body weight when you squat to
tie a shoelace or pick up an item you dropped. Losing
a few pounds can go a long way toward reducing the
pressure on your knees and protecting them.
The best tactics for losing weight
Increasing physical activity has many health benefits and
can help you shed weight. But stepping up your exercise
alone is rarely enough to help you lose weight. Every
pound you shed represents roughly 3,500 calories. So if
you are hoping to lose half a pound to one pound a week,
you need to knock off 250 to 500 calories a day. A good
way to start is to try to burn 125 calories through exercise
and eat 125 fewer calories each day.

The math works both ways: indulging in an extra 100
calories a day without burning them off can leave you 10
pounds heavier at the end of a year! Routine treats like a
scoop or two of ice cream, a calorie-packed coffee drink, or
visits to the cookie or candy jar can tip the scales in the
wrong direction.

NEWS
By Tyler Truman
Golf Course Superintendent
Greetings from Golf Course and
Common Area Maintenance!
We have had a busy summer so far with the many projects
that are on-going throughout the property. Staff has been
very busy on Washington Street and on the SG Golf Course
removing blow sand. It has been a very challenging year with
over 500 tons of sand removed both from Washington Street
and the golf course during the first two weeks of May.
Common area has installed desertscape around the north and
east sides of the tennis/racquetball courts.
In June, the San Gorgonio Golf Course greens, tees and
fairways were aerified helping the golf course transition
better and provide better playing conditions throughout the
year. This is a task that staff performs each year. The process
went smoothly and at the end of July we will be aerating the
Santa Rosa course following the same process.
Governor Brown is declaring that the drought is over,
however, we still have a responsibility to look at ways that
everyone can conserve and reduce the water footprint both
on the golf course and around the clubhouses. We have
finished planting and installing desert landscape and drip
irrigation around #7 San Gorgonio. Re-landscaping of this
area by removing the turf, maintenance deleted twenty
sprinkler heads that put out roughly 8 gallons per minute or
160 gallons. When these sprinklers ran for ten minutes water
consumption totaled 1,600 gallons. The drip irrigation to 217
plants for the same area puts out 2 gallons per hour and that
equates to 434 gallons, rendering a savings of 1,166 gallons
in just one area. These are the types of reductions staff
continues to participate in for water conservation.
Through April of this year, per CVWD data, the golf
course and common area parks are using 167 acre feet of
water, less than in 2013 when the drought started.
An acre-foot of water is 325,850 gallons, so through April,
the Association has saved 54,416,950 gallons of water.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

It’s vacation time for many of us. While
you are traveling, look for photogenic
scenes, interesting people and colorful
events to capture with your camera. Keep
the rules for good composition in mind as
you plan your shots – the rule of thirds,
leading lines, tell a story, not too busy,
point of focus – to name a few. Also,
eliminate unnecessary objects and space in
the image.
Have fun creating memories, making
“WOW” images, or just experimenting.

All Pet Lovers Welcome
Dr. Arnold Landsman · 760-772-4832
by Louise Sultana
Take special care of your pets during the
summer. Outside surfaces reach extreme
temperatures. Older and overweight pets
are more sensitive to heat. Use caution
when exercising your buddy and have
plenty of fresh, clean water available.
If you see a lost dog and it will come to
you, corral it in your yard or in a cool
place. Hopefully it will be wearing a collar
with I.D. If not, call the front gate and put
it on The List. The front gate personnel will
contact a volunteer who will scan the dog
for a microchip.
See you in October.
by DJ Miles
I hope you all had a chance to view the
window display last month. Thank you
ladies for the loan of your quilts.
There is no General Meeting this month.
We welcome the new Board and they have
new ideas and projects to work on.
Be sure to check the calendar on the

fun. http://quilters.scpdcaclubs.com.
Tip: When shopping for fabrics, take
the pattern. Also, tack fabric samples to a
3” x 6” index card so you can find just the
right fabric by comparing it to what you
already have.

Happy 4th of July everyone. The country
is 240 years old this year. It’s mindboggling to think of the changes in that
short of time. We now stay connected
within seconds from wherever we are.
Satellites allow worldwide communications,
and GPS guides us to our destination.
What does this have to do with tennis you
ask? When you’re watching Wimbledon
live while cruising the Rhine it gives you
something to thinks about.
Enjoy your summer and stay injury free.

Dinners of Food and Wine Pairing
Jill Manee · 760-360-2681
by Mike Coyne
July in the desert is a great time for light,
fresh and crisp white wines. Often selected
are Pinot Gris/Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc
and lighter Chardonnays. However, don’t
overlook Rosé for your summer delight.
Rosés can be quite satisfying when bone
dry, or if your taste prefers, can have a little
sweetness without losing their character.
One shouldn’t confuse a present day Rosé
with the popular White Zinfandels of the
70’s that were, and still are, quite fruity and
less complex.

Think about this when you vote in 2016:
the Internet, microchips, GPS system,
touch screen, 75% of revolutionary drugs,
Nana Technology, and new energy sources
were first funded by federal government
projects. The U.S. auto industry was saved
in 2009 with government loans.
Government intervention and bank
regulations helped control unemployment
and reductions in economic growth during
the recessions of 1929, 1948, 1973, 1981,
1990, 2001 and 2008.
The private sector is the catalyst for
managing economic growth. Voting for the
most favorable balance between the private
and public sectors has the best chance for
economic benefits for all citizens.

And I’m proud to be an American
where at least I know I’m free…
And I’d gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today.
I value free speech, the press and assembly,
the right to vote and worship the god of our
choice. I value the notion that freedom is
not “free,” it must be defended. I am proud

SCPD Republicans

Our April meeting featured Rich Gilgallen,
who gave a rousing pep talk on why the
GOP must win the November election in
order to take our country back from the
ABYSS! We also had great attendance at
our May meeting at which Ric Grenell, a
regular on Fox News, spoke about Hillary
Clinton’s likely indictment by the F.B.I. Ric
was the U.S. Permanent Representative to
the United Nations.
Our final meeting before Summer
Blackout was on Wednesday, June 22 at
which our speakers were Morris
Beschloss, Conservative Talk Show Host
and Nachum Shifren, a rabbi active in
Conservative politics.
