On another subject, you will hopefully notice some positive changes. The Board
Room across from the monitor’s desk has been updated, and we purchased a
new Jeep Neighborhood Watch vehicle. We have changed the coffeemakers
and the brand of coffee, and we plan to make the front of our Community
Center more attractive by planting additional plants and flowers. This and
other projects that I will report on are in the planning stage; so keep a sharp
eye as changes may occur before I get a chance to inform you. I thought you
might enjoy hearing from other Board members; so in this issue of The Breeze
you will find an article from Betty Kramer, your board treasurer. It is anticipated
that in subsequent issues other Board members will address matters that are
important to our community.

Your Board of Director’s decisions influence your home value, and we
are committed to making fiscally sound decisions that will increase your
investment. At today’s prices, our homes, in the aggregate, are valued between
$425 and $475 million. This figure does not include the community center items
we own or our other common areas. I realize that values fluctuate almost daily,
but I wanted you to have an idea of the value of our homes.
W W W . S C A L N L V . C O M
Activities & Fitness Director
Our community is comprised of 2,028 homes,
and we have 3,341 residents (3.1%) who are
under age 55, with 25.6% between ages 55-64, and a total of 48% between
ages 65-74, and 22% over age 75. At the time the survey was conducted, we
had a 2.1% vacancy rate and 13.8% homes were leased. The age statistics show
that we follow a bell shaped curve with the majority of residents between ages
65-74 and a pretty even distribution on either side.
ASSOCIATION NEWS
Dear Residents,
August is Cataract Awareness Month.
The number of aging Americans with
significant age-related vision loss is
expected to double by 2030, according
to the American Foundation for the
Blind.
-
T H E
B R E E Z E
Indeed, multiple studies indicate that
the vast majority of people who are
legally blind (having a visual acuity
of 20/200 or less, or a visual filed that
is limited to 20 degrees or less) are
elderly individuals suffering from the most-common age-related
eye diseases including; glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular
degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
Even the eyes of younger baby boomers aren’t immune from the
issues of aging. People between the ages of 45 and 64 years old
were twice as likely to experience vision loss, when compared
to younger populations, according to the 2011 National Health
Interview Survey.
The good news is that there are ways to safeguard your eyes against
the ravages of aging and prevent the progression of certain visionrobbing ailments.
Here are six simple vision protection tips from the experts:
Stick to an exercise regimen: Engaging in a regular workout
program provides countless health benefits—from cardiovascular
to cognitive. Physical activity can also help keep your eyes healthy.
By breaking a sweat three or more times each week, adults middleaged and older could experience up to a 70 percent reduction in risk
for developing age-related macular degeneration, according to a
2006 University of Wisconsin study.
Up your antioxidants:
Food plays an important
role in preventing
everything from
cataracts to age-related
macular degeneration.
Antioxidant-rich
foods offer many
health benefits, vision
protection being one
of them. According
to the American
Optometric Association
(AOA), vitamins C and
E, lutein, zeaxanthin,
zinc and essential fatty acids are all key nutrients for maintaining
good eyesight as you age. Vitamins C and E—found in abundance in
green, leafy vegetables (spinach, kale), berries, citrus fruits, nuts and
sweet potatoes—can help guard against damage from free radicals
and can lower your chances of developing cataracts. The lutein and
zeaxanthin in green, leafy vegetables and eggs may reduce the
risk of multiple age-related eye diseases. Fatty acids (especially the
omega-3s in walnuts, salmon and soybeans) and zinc (oysters, dark
chocolate and peanuts) are important for maintaining the structural
health and integrity of the tissues in your eyes.
Rock some shades: The damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV)
radiation aren’t limited to your skin. If left unprotected, UVA and
UVB rays can harm your eyes and contribute to the formation of
4 - August 2015
cataracts. When you’re out in the sun (even in the wintertime),
it’s important to wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat for full
protection from harmful radiation. Opt for lenses that offer 100
percent UV protection and be aware that this is not a feature offered
by all types of sunglasses. Polarized, mirror-coated, blue-blocking
and photochromatic lenses have different features that can make it
easier to see in bright sunlight, but they don’t all automatically block
UV rays.
Stay away from smoke: Smoking can up a person’s risk for multiple
chronic health conditions, including cataracts and age-related
macular degeneration, according to the Office of the Surgeon
General. Just one more reason why you should quit smoking or,
better yet, never even start.
Keep blood sugar and pressure in check: Fluctuating blood sugar
and blood pressure levels can harm the miniscule blood vessels
in the retina, potentially leading to vision problems, and even
blindness. Diabetics and those with high blood pressure should take
care to keep their levels in check to preserve the health of their eyes.
Give over-exerted eyes a break: Americans spend much of their
time in front of a computer screen, which puts a lot of pressure on

From the Treasurer
Betty Kramer
Hi Fellow Residents:
FOR YOUR SAFETY...
Natural gas pipeline leaks can occur due to disasters or from damage
caused by digging or corrosion. It’s important to learn how to spot
and react to a pipeline leak.
A GAS LEAK MAY BE PRESENT IF YOU:
• Smell: an unusual odor like rotten eggs, whether the odor is
constant or momentary, strong or slight.
• Hear: a hissing or roaring sound coming from the ground or
an above-ground pipeline.
• See: dirt or water blowing into the air or discolored
vegetation surrounding a pipeline.
If you suspect a leak, leave the vicinity immediately, and do not use
an automated door. Warn others.
Do not light a match, start or stop an engine, switch lights on or
off or do anything that might create a spark.
From a safe place, call 911 and Southwest Gas immediately at
1-800-447-5422.
I wanted to take this opportunity to talk with you about how
important it is for everyone to pay their assessments on time.
Remember each and every one of us contributes to the financial
operations of our community through our assessments. Like
any business, if our revenue (your assessments) does not meet
our expenses, we cannot survive. All of us agreed to make those
assessment payments when we purchased our homes. When some
residents don’t pay, the rest of the residents’ assessments have to
make up for the deficit. That is a financial reality in any common
interest community.
Please be assured, the Board is not interested in adding charges to
residents beyond their normal assessment. However, additional
charges must be imposed when assessments aren’t paid on time.
While I’ve served as your Treasurer, it has become very evident to me
how quickly those costs increase the amount owed on the account.
The overdue account balance can rapidly balloon well out of control
and, in severe instances, may result in foreclosure on the resident’s
home.
If you are experiencing a hardship, please come to the Board with
the issue. The Board is more than willing to work out a payment plan
that can meet your ability and obligation to pay.

Our average rainfall for the month of
August is .49 inches. According to the
National Weather Service, the record
rainfall for the Las Vegas Valley was 2.59
inches on August 20, 1957. If this makes
you think about installing rain gutters
on your home to funnel the water to a
downspout, where it’s directed away
from the foundation of your home, you’ll
be happy to know rain gutters may
be installed with Architectural Review
Committee (ARC) approval. Stop by the
office, and we’ll be happy to help you complete the required ARC
application.
BE CAREFUL! Bee hives are dangerous and should be removed
by a professional pest control service. The process requires the
use of professional safety gear and clothing. It is the responsibility
of the property owner, where the bees are located, to have them
removed if needed. The Nevada Pest Control Association keeps a
list of licensed removal services that is available at 702-385-5853.
Residents should not try to exterminate the bees themselves. Most
people do not have the necessary safety equipment. It is extremely
dangerous, and you are advised to leave this to a professional
exterminator.
Swarming bees will appear as a large group of bees (that look like a
football or basketball) hanging on the side of a building, on a fence,
on tree branches or street signs. They sometimes can be found on
the ground. Leave them alone! If the weather is good, they will
usually fly away. When they do, all of the bees will leave together. If
you have them exterminated, a number of the bees (stragglers) may
remain in the area for a day or two, and they will be irritable because
they cannot find the rest of the swarm. In most cases, the bees will
fly away within a day or two. If they remain for more than three days,
you should consider having them removed by a professional bee
removal service. Call 702-229-2000.
If you plan to do any work on the outside of your home, you
will need to submit an application to the ARC committee prior
to the meeting. The committee meets twice a month to review
applications. Almost all requests require you to complete a plot
plan, which we can provide, and some requests require photographs
and even samples. If you have questions about your project, you
are invited to attend the “NEW” ARC workshop, which is held the
Thursday prior to each ARC meeting starting at 8:30 a.m. in the Vista
Room. Just remember to turn in your application and plot plan prior
to the meeting, so we can get it on the agenda. The Architectural
Review Committee will meet on August 7 and 21 at 8:30 a.m. in
the Vista Room.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
Drugs and Summertime Heat
During Las Vegas’ high summertime temperatures, it is important
to understand the effects of heat on prescription and over-thecounter drugs. Many drugs lose their effectiveness above 86 degrees
Fahrenheit because their active ingredients become less stable and
less potent.
As a rule, drugs should be kept between 68 F and 77 F. They can go
as low as 59 F or as high as 86 F for brief periods of time. Everything
from thyroid medications to antihistamines to statins can fizzle with
a summer sizzle.
• Keep meds with you when you fly, not in checked baggage.
Never put your meds in a car trunk.
• Replace meds that get overheated. If your pharmacy has
been without air conditioning for a while, it’s a good idea to
get your prescriptions from another drug store.
• Above 77 F in your house? Keep meds in a cool (not cold)
place – away from ice or gel packs and not below 68 F. A
thermometer can help you maintain the right temperature.
Also, beware of buying drugs online. Although it may be convenient
and economical, it also can come with risks. At the top of the list

Tee It Up

By Paul Cox, PGA
Giving Back and
Paying Forward
I love that, by virtue of my
profession, I work at a place of
leisure. People come to the golf
course to relax and spend time
with friends and loved ones, often on vacation or possibly playing
hooky from responsibility.
The Wounded Warrior Athletics (WWA) non profit corporation was
initiated by four active duty Air Force members stationed at Nellis
AFB. When active duty members take care of their own, this sends a
strong message and, hopefully, leads the way for others to follow.
We’ve had a blast at the summer golf clinic (open to all abilities)
on Tuesdays at 8:30 a.m. The cost is only $20 per golfer for 45
minutes of group instruction; the group is limited to eight students
per session. For more information or to sign up, email pcox@
troongolf.com. “This is our club, our community,” and I’m glad to be
a part of it! - Paul

Blood Pressure Checks
Friday, August 14, 9 a.m.
Donna McCarthur from Centennial Hills Hospital will perform free
blood pressure checks on Friday, August 14, from 9 a.m.-10 a.m. in
the community center. No advance sign up is necessary and tests
are done on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Wounded Warrior Athletics’ objective is to encourage other active
duty service members to take the initiative to help their fellow
troops through programs like these, and never forget that it is service
members who make the ultimate sacrifice.
-
We are proud to be the host facility for this program. I have coached
our local wounded warriors since the establishment of the program,
and it has been tremendously rewarding to watch them become
avid golfers.
Whatever reason folks come out to the “playground,” I enjoy being
the “playground supervisor.” I also enjoy the fact that we can provide
a venue for charitable and developmental organizations to hold
events. I want to take this opportunity to discuss the Wounded
Warrior Athletics organization that we are proud to be involved with
at Aliante Golf Club.

We also host WWA
charity tournaments at
Aliante. The WWA will
hold its next tournament,
the Conestoga Open, at
our sister property in
Mesquite on September
6. Please reach out to us
at the Aliante Golf Club
and ask about how you
can be a participant in
the tournament or visit
the WWA website http://
www.wwathletics.org.
We are proud to be
associated with this
noble cause at Aliante
Golf Club. I am personally proud to be able to give back to service
members and their families, who have sacrificed so much for our
country, and to participate in helping to build the future of the game
of golf and recognize and assist service members.
I look forward to seeing you on the practice tee at the Aliante Golf
Club, and I look forward to helping you improve your skills and your
enjoyment of the game.

4 Basic Exercises to Help
Older Adults Improve
Strength and Balance
(NewsUSA) - As you grow older, being physically active is one of the
most important things you can do to stay healthy. Whether you’re
well into your golden years, a baby boomer or younger, studies show
regular exercise can lower your risk of heart disease, some cancers,
diabetes and dementia. It also helps improve your mood, energy
level and overall well-being.

“The great thing is, no matter what your age, size or fitness level,
it’s never too late to start exercising,” said Jaza Marina, M.D., a Kaiser
Permanente physician who specializes in elder care. “We strongly
recommend seniors do exercises that maintain strength, balance and
flexibility. Our goal is to reduce their risk of falls and injuries, so they
can stay healthy and independent.”
Dr. Marina advises that good ways to exercise include low-impact
aerobic activity, swimming, tai chi and yoga if you’re physically able.
“We have 80-year-olds who run 5k or 10k races. Everyone is different,
so pick an exercise that you enjoy.”
She believes walking is probably the easiest exercise. All you need is
30 minutes a day, five times a week. If that’s too much, you can break
that up -- 10 minutes in the morning, 10 in the afternoon, and 10 in
the evening. Some seniors walk at their local indoor shopping mall.
“The important thing is to get off the recliner, turn off the T.V. and get
active,” said Dr. Marina.
Below are four basic exercises to get you started.
1. Knee bends. Holding on to a sturdy chair or counter at your side,
keep your back straight, feet on the ground and gently bend your
knees and lower your body. Then, raise your body back up. It’s a
slight squat but not a deep one. Repeat 10-15 times.
2. Heel raises. Holding on to a chair or counter at your side, raise up
on toes slowly and then lower the heels to the ground slowly. Heel
raises strengthen the calf muscles. Repeat 10-15 times.
3. Side leg raises. Holding on to a chair or counter at your side, raise
one leg out to the side and bring it back down. Repeat 10-15 times
and switch to other leg.
4. Sit to stand. If you’re able -- sit in a chair and rise to a standing
position with arms stretched in front of you. Make sure the chair is in
a stable position or against a wall so it won’t fall over. Sit back down
and repeat 10 times.

Update on Guardianship, Elder Law
Medicaid and Veterans Benefits
Do you have some assets, but not enough to take care of yourself for
the long term? Would you like to be able to use the assets you have
to supplement the government assistance? Come to this seminar
and learn about “Elder Law,” Guardianship and more.
Last month we introduced using irrevocable trusts for Medicaid and
Veterans Pension Planning. This month we will go into the nuts and
bolts of how these irrevocable trusts work and discuss the factors
that determine if you can take advantage of this kind of estate
planning.
Medicaid Planning is an important service provided for seniors.
Medicaid is the only government program that will pay for nursing
home care on a long-term basis. With the rising cost of long-term
care, many seniors may not be able to afford to pay privately for
their care. As a result, Medicaid planning may be necessary for many
seniors.
Veterans Pension Planning is often referred to as “Aid and
Attendance.” Veterans Pension Benefits provide a monthly cash
benefit to wartime veterans or the surviving spouse of a wartime
veteran who meet financial and medical criteria.

Meadow seating is first come, first seated. The meadow is separated into
two sections. The chair section is on the south side of the meadow. People
16 - August 2015
are allowed to bring their own low back chairs to the performance or rent
a chair for one dollar. The blanket section allows only blankets in this area.
Throw down a blanket and enjoy the evening before and during the night’s
performance. Pack a picnic basket with wine and a meal to enjoy under the
stars.
The meadow has two wheelchair pads large enough to accommodate a
wheelchair patron and their family. These spots may not be reserved… again,
first come, first served. Also, the meadow has two paved sidewalks along the
outside of the meadow area making the walk to the bathrooms, concession
stand and picnic pavilion easily accessible.
The Concession Stand
To enhance the Super Summer Theatre experience, the concession stand
offers a variety of items for sale and is open from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on show
nights. Their hotdogs have been named the “Best in the West” and the kids

Buy Merchandise and Rent Chairs
Super Summer Theatre sells a limited number of items each season.
Merchandise available for sale can range from blankets for the chilly evenings
to the popular stuffed burros. The merchandise area also rents low back chairs
before each night’s performance. Why drag out a chair when you can rent one

cooled off by hiking the Upper Bristlecone Trail at Mt. Charleston.
Hiking is cancelled for August, but will return in September. Mark
your calendar for September 15, when members will once again
return to Mt. Charleston. Enjoy the remainder of your summer. See

The Sun City Aliante Songsters opened the Las Vegas 12th
Annual Senior Idol Showcase on June 11 to a sellout crowd at the
Charleston Heights Arts Center. Their rendition of Toto’s “Africa” was
met with resounding applause. In addition the club’s smaller vocal
group, the Aliante Treble Makers (ATM’s), performed their tongue-incheek “Cold and Fugue Season.” It was a wonderful culmination to
the Songster’s spring performances.

SCAL SONGSTERS SPOTLIGHT
Lorraine Zanello
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Lorraine
Zanello lived most of her life in
the Chicago area. Instrumental
and vocal music have been
an active part of her life since
the fifth grade. She claims, “I
can’t function without it.” She
played B flat, alto, tenor and bass
clarinet and recorder in junior
high and high school; she went
on to perform in her college
band and orchestra. She also
sang in her college choir and for
more than 20 years in church choirs. She began writing music at age
14, and she has copy written and recorded several pieces.
During her first two years of college, she was as a music theory
major where she composed and performed her clarinet quartet.
She received her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration
and her Master’s in Education. She met her husband, Phil, through
her brother, and she knew right away Phil was “the right one.” She
thought “wow,” he’s handsome, has a house and nice car; they were
married in 1974.
Phil was a police sergeant in Vernon Hills, Illinois, where they raised
their three children (two girls and a boy). One of her daughters still
lives in Illinois, and the other two children live in Las Vegas. She
has four grandchildren and one more on the way. While raising
her family, Lorraine became a certified instructional assistant and
substitute teacher at a junior high. There she taught studies in
the arts and filled in to conduct the choir and orchestra. She also
taught piano, recorder and clarinet lessons. She eventually went into
corporate human resources and training in the banking industry,
which she really enjoyed.
She and Phil moved to Las Vegas in 1999 and continued to work.
They moved to Sun City Aliante in August 2010, and she started
singing with the Sun City Aliante Songsters in February 2014. Phil
recently retired from the Las Vegas Valley Water District, and they are
gearing up their 30-foot trailer for some traveling, which they enjoy
together. Lorraine enjoys Bunco, cards with friends, genealogy,
fishing, writing music, and hiking; but most of all; she loves singing
with the Aliante Songsters and the Aliante Treble Makers (ATMs).
She says it is, “One of the best things that ever happened when we
moved here.”
