5 Candidates Vying for 2013 Board of Directors’ Seats
The Election Committee is preparing to
conduct the annual election of the Sun
City Summerlin board of directors. This
year, Tuesday, February 26, 2013, is designated as Election Day. Counting of the
ballots will take place on Wednesday,
February 27, 2013. FOUR (4) positions
will be lled. Each home has FOUR (4)
votes that may be cast for one candidate or divided among all in any manner
desired. It is critical that not more than
FOUR (4) votes are marked.
Ballots (part of the mailing label) and
a return envelope will be included in your
February Link. The ballot instructions
are on the back of the address portion
of the mailer. The ballot portion is perforated so the name and address can be
removed by tearing it off at the perforations. After you mark your votes on
this ballot, remove the address portion
and insert the ballot into the envelope
so that the bar code shows through
the window in the envelope. It may
then be mailed to the Administration
office, Mountain Shadows Community
Center, 9107 Del Webb Blvd., Las Vegas,
NV 89134; or save Sun City the cost of
postage by personally depositing your
ballot in the ballot box at Mountain
Shadows. If you mail your ballot, it must
arrive no later than 3 p.m. on February 26,
2013. A polling place will be set up in the
Exchange Room at Mountain Shadows
on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, from
8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Be sure to bring your
Sun City Association card to show at
the poll. The polls for voting will close
at 3 p.m. on February 26.
Should you lose or accidentally destroy
your ballot, another can be obtained at
the Administration office. Before requesting a replacement ballot, be certain that
another member of your household has
not already voted. If two ballots are
received from the same household,
BOTH will be voided. Also, if more
than FOUR (4) votes are marked on a
ballot, all votes will be voided. The
candidates are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Elections and ballot votes in Sun
City Summerlin are conducted by a
neutral, nonpartisan group of community members. The only qualification is to be a homeowner. In February,
there will be the annual election for
directors to the Sun City Summerlin
Community Association, Inc., board
that will require a ballot.
The election committee members
work on tasks of their choice in coordination with the overall election.
They meet occasionally to discuss
voting matters and ballot-counting
issues. Members help prepare the
actual print copy, write articles for the
Link, arrange to have the outdoor
signs and indoor posters placed; and
one member arranges for refreshments for the members and volunteers
during voting and counting days. It is
also necessary to set up operations
of the voting and counting days. Only
on actual counting days and meetings
are all members asked to be present.
Actual “work” days rarely exceed four
or five, and those are usually partial
days. All election committee communications are by email.
If you are interested in helping a
vital Sun City committee, please call
Lorin Martin, assistant to the executive director, 966-1408. There are a
number of positions available. Your
name will be put in a file and contact
will be made when the election
committee is forming.

Every year we have the opportunity to refresh our board of directors with the election of either four or five candidates who are willing to
exchange hundreds of otherwise leisure hours for work and responsibility. You have the opportunity to meet the candidates, who will
present their qualifications and submit to your questions at the January Residents’ Forum. Why not mark your calendar right now. The
nine-member board of directors make decisions throughout the year that affect your quality of life, as well as your bank account. This is
a great opportunity for you to ask questions and learn about issues that will concern your board in 2013. Ballots will be included in the
February Link. We’ll have microphones, coffee and cookies, and we promise an interesting meeting.

Golf
A Golf Course’s Best Friend
Well-trained Dogs Successful In Managing Geese, Coot Problems
Golf Course Maintenance Superintendent Josh Virostko, right,
and Leroy, his Australian cattle dog, keep migratory birds in
check at Eagle Crest, while GCM Superintendent Eric Alms
and his dog Riot ensure similar success at Palm Valley.
Every year on our golf courses we have a lot of unwanted
visitors that come to stay with us for the winter. In some
settings, these visitors may be welcomed, but on golf
courses they cause lots of problems. The visitors are the
Canadian goose and the American coot. Most of us are
familiar with what a Canadian goose looks like. It is a large
bird that loves to come to the golf courses to eat grass and
raise its young. The downside of what the geese leave behind
after eating the green grass is a major nuisance and mess.
The American coot migrates here every year in great numbers,
as well. It is the little black duck that can be seen in all of our
community lakes. Coots love to eat grass, and because their
numbers are so great their mess is just as bad as the geese
and, at times, even worse.
Over the years we have tried many tactics to keep the
birds away – we have put up small netting around the lakes
and have used fake wild animals like the coyote and falcon
decoys. In addition, there are animal-deterrent chemicals
that we spray on the grass to keep the birds out of particular
locations, usually around the greens. The birds dislike the
taste of the grass treated with the chemical. The problem
with this method is that treatment needs to be very frequent
in order to be effective, which becomes costly. Throughout
the years, the United States Department of Agriculture and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have offered assistance in
suggestions for control measures. Both of these birds are
migratory, protected species, so we have to be careful not to
harm them.
As for natural predators, there are a few that help manage
the populations, but keeping them here consistently is rare.
10
Occasionally, we have falcons, hawks and other birds of prey,
and we see coyotes every once in a while. But one natural
predator that is a little easier to have on our golf courses on
a consistent basis is a dog. When our Golf Course Maintenance Superintendent Josh Virostko (who works at Eagle
Crest Golf Course) arrived, he brought with him a working
dog that was very much trained to work the birds on the
golf course. Those of you who play Eagle Crest probably
remember his dog Bruce, who was an Australian cattle dog.
Bruce did a great job on the golf course and was very effective
in chasing away birds, helping to keep the populations to a
minimum. Bruce died about a year ago after 14 years of a
good life working on golf courses nearly every day. He
would not walk on a putting green, through a bunker and
obeyed Josh’s voice commands. Today, following in Bruce's
paw steps is Leroy, who is “in training” to become just as
effective on the course as his predecessor.
While Bruce was active at Eagle Crest, we wanted to set
up similarly successful situations at the two other courses.
Enter Eric Alms, our superintendent at Palm Valley Golf
Course and his 8-month-old Labrador/cattle dog mix, Riot.
We also have two dogs that work Highland Falls. The dogs
are owned by mechanic Mat Wiedemer and are currently in
obedience training so that they, too, can attend to the
problem of our migratory birds. So far, the dogs have been
very effective with the geese. Unfortunately, the American
coot is a little more stubborn. It doesn’t like to fly away.
Rather, when chased, it heads for the lake. But the dogs are
doing a great job keeping the birds uncomfortable, and we
hope that in the years to come they are less likely to come
here and stay for the winter.

Whether you want to lose weight,
quit smoking, get your nances in
order or spend more time with
your family, here’s some advice to
help make your resolutions stick.
Kristie McWhorter
Director of Fitness
Remember, winners do what losers
[email protected]
don’t want to do. Have passion,
take action and you will get what you are after.
 Set a very speci c goal. Resolving to exercise more is
not speci c enough. “I will work out 30 minutes a day,
four days a week” is more speci c. If you want to spend
more time with your family, make an appointment.
De ne exactly what you want in clear terms.
 Set a goal that has a measurable outcome. Getting in
shape is not quanti able. Without a goal that is measurable, how will you know when you have made progress?
 Assign a timeline. Someday is not a day of the week.
The difference between a dream and a goal is a time
frame for making it happen. A deadline also can help
motivate you and prevent you from procrastinating.
 Identify small steps. Major life changes don’t just
happen; they happen one step at a time. Steady
progress through well-chosen, realistic, interval steps
produces results.
 Create accountability. Without accountability, people
are prone to con themselves. If you know precisely
what you want — and there are real consequences for
not doing the assigned work — you are more likely to
continue in pursuit of your goal. Find someone in your
circle of family or friends to whom you can be
accountable. Make periodic reports on your progress.
 Change your lifestyle. If you are trying to get in shape
or lose weight, make sure you have a plan and start
making a lifestyle change. Willpower will not make
things change. Remember that you don’t break habits:
You replace one behavior with a new one.
Happy New Year from the Fitness Department!
Tip: Please be sure you check in to the tness centers by presenting your membership/
resident card at the monitor’s desk anytime you visit a tness center (to exercise, for club
dance classes, to use the library, etc.). It is important for the Association to track how many
residents are actually using the facilities so that budgets and programs match attendance.

Community Standards
A Few Suggestions from Community Standards
Holiday reminder: Lights and decorations must be removed by January 15
Now that the cooler weather is here, it is a good time to
consider some projects that we tend to put on the back
burner. In addition to landscaping, look to general
maintenance, trash and pet needs.
Maintenance:
 How do your awnings look? Could they use some
cleaning or repair?
 Don’t forget about your windows and screens.
 If your driveway is coated, does it need resurfacing?
 How about your mailbox post? It should be either black
or white (depending on where you reside). If it is any
other color, it needs attention.
 Take a look at your wrought iron fencing. Does it look
faded or rusted?
 When stacking recycle bins, place the lightest material
(usually the plastic and cans) on the bottom.
 Secure your recycled newspapers by placing 2 or 3
inches of them in a paper grocery bag positioned on
top of the bin.
 Write your address on your receptacle lid with a
permanent marker. If the wind takes it away, it should
nd its way home.
Trash:
 Cover trash receptacles or place trash in tied plastic bags.
Pets:
 Do not let your pet run loose anywhere except for your
enclosed back yard.
 Do not allow your dog to trespass on other people’s lots
when you are walking them.
 Be sure to pick up all solid waste immediately.
 Try to prevent your dog from barking and bothering
other residents.
Landscape
Security Patrol
Happy New Year From
The Security Patrol
It’s winter and you can’t hide. Even if your landscape is
dormant there are still things that can be done in the yard.
Of course, any of the hard work that needs to be done, but
was put off until the cooler weather has passed, like adding
fresh rock or heavy digging, can be revisited in the spring.
When working in the yard this month, be sure to dress
warm and do not overdo it. It is important to know your
limits. January is a good time to prune and plant roses.
You will begin seeing roses for sale at the nurseries and
home stores. If you buy bare root roses, make sure the store
will guarantee them if they do not grow in the spring.
Another good practice at this time of year is restoration
pruning. The landscape department is watering once a
week during the day – turf on Tuesdays and drip on
Wednesdays.

Making a conscious choice to give of oneself for the bene t
of others is an immensely satisfying New Year’s resolution.
Volunteering is one of the most effective ways to feel useful
and connected to others. At Sun City Security Patrol, we
resolve to continue to make a difference.
 We resolve to be the eyes and ears that notice anything
suspicious, or out of the ordinary. If we catch a glimpse of
something moving alongside your home after dark, we’ll
shine a spotlight on it to make sure it’s a prowling cat, not a
cat burglar.
 If you forget to close your garage door, we will do our
best to alert you.
 While ashing emergency lights are often left on in
error, we resolve to take every one of them seriously.
 When you are away on vacation, we are on the job,
checking your property’s windows and doors (if requested).
Every day, we are here for you. For assistance, call
254-2303.
W
hether you are a resident veteran or a newbie to Sun City Summerlin,
you will be amazed at the variety of activities the community offers. For starters,
did you know that there are more than 80 chartered clubs and community organizations that focus
on everything from shing to sewing, horseshoeing to travel and tness to photography. If you are a thespian,
there’s community theater, where you can act or work behind the scenes helping to create scenery or costumes.
If you’re a glass artist or jeweler, play tennis, cards, mahjong, bocce, pickle ball, softball or racquetball, the clubs have
you covered, too.
While there are many opportunities for club members to enjoy, club presidents have a few responsibilities to meet.
With the New Year comes a bevy of new officers who need to mark their calendars with a few January dates to
guarantee that their clubs’ business runs smoothly.
In addition, there are specialty forms that must be led by speci c deadlines
throughout the year to reserve rooms, report raffle funds and taxable sales, etc. Please consult the
CCOC Procedures Manual. If you have any questions regarding these forms, or if you need additional copies of
any paperwork, call the Department of Community Services, 363-3581.

Sharon Gainsburg Coaxes Expression
Out of Stone, Students
~ by Jeannette Carillo
Sharon Gainsburg has become an active voice in the Las Vegas
arts scene, offering instruction in her downtown Las Vegas studio,
as well as classes for UNLV through the OLLI program.
W
hether faith can move a mountain may be up
for debate, but a mountain, or most certainly
its core component – stone – can stir inspiration
within an artist.
Case in point, Sun City resident Sharon Gainsburg, an
East Coast transplant who has comfortably settled into the
downtown Las Vegas arts scene. Inside her studio, which
faces Main Street north of Charleston Boulevard, Sharon
offers budding and professional artists a 12-week program
in stone carving. Classes meet once a week on Saturdays for
three hours. This semester, two residents followed Sharon
from Sun City, making the trek downtown for a block of
time Sharon says they describe as “addictive” and among
“one of the toughest things they’ve ever done.”
“I have a student who is 80-something,” Sharon said. “She
tells me she goes home after class and can sleep very well. I
guess it’s because she’s been pounding on stone for three hours.”
“Carving is the language that I have been given, with
which I communicate from my heart the mystery and the
magic of life’s journey,” Sharon said. “Stone is a composite
of all the essential elements – re, earth, air and water, a
totality of all matter. When I carve I feel connected to the
earth and, thus, to a universal consciousness.”
Every First Friday during Las Vegas’ monthly art event,
Sharon welcomes visitors and would-be students into her
studio, answering questions about her work that adorns the
front part of her gallery, The Gainsburg Studio. The back
of the space opens into a work area, where rough strewn
alabaster awaits selection. Classes begin when a student
selects a piece of alabaster marble, which is priced by the
pound. After the stone is purchased, creativity gives way to
smooth, sensual lines of abstract shapes.
Among her most favorite students, Sharon said, are the
ones who say they are not artistic.
“It’s fear that often stops people from pursuing their
interests,” Sharon explained. “In class, I say, ‘Just jump in
and see what happens.’ ”
Sharon began teaching in 1984 upon the advice of a wellknown New York artist whom she sought out to critique her
work. Following the session, which was lled with casual compliments, Sharon told the artist that she needed a broader
view. She wasn’t happy with placations. The conversation
quickly turned to questions about how serious she was
about pursing stone work and the prospect of her teaching.
“I felt like someone had unzipped the old Sharon and
let the new Sharon out. I resonated with it,” she said.
Nearly 30 years later, Sharon explained that stone has
been her healer.
“I have developed patience through teaching. It teaches
you about life. Whatever you are going through – divorce,
another job, someone dies – it’s a detour. The same thing
happens when you are carving stone. When a piece falls off,
it’s telling you you have to come up with a solution to this
problem.”
In addition to her studio work, Sharon offers instruction
for UNLV through the OLLI program, which meets in
Sun City. Both of Sharon’s classes meet at the Paradise
campus in Las Vegas and are designed to help students
unblock their creativity.
Chunks of alabaster await selection inside The Gainsburg
Studio.

Security Patrol and the Community
Preparedness Committee
S
ecurity Patrol and the
Community Preparedness
Committee are community organizations whose volunteers are concerned with the safety
and well-being of Sun City
residents. Their efforts aid
people who may be compelled
to deal with a personal crisis,
or a catastrophic disaster that
puts everyone in need of help,
information and guidance.
 You can help the Security Patrol by adding your neighborhood awareness to theirs. Know your neighbors; look
out for one another; exchange telephone numbers. Complete
your Emergency Contact information and le it with
Administration or the Security Patrol. Call the Security
Patrol, day or night, if anything worries you. They will
check it out, and if you need help, they will make sure that
you get it.
 The Community Preparedness Committee de nes a
disaster as a dangerous event that demands a response
beyond the capabilities of local emergency responders.
A disaster is distinguished from an emergency by the
greater level of required assistance. We don’t fret about
hurricanes, but shouldn’t we be concerned about nearby
earthquakes? Are you prepared to cope without heat or air
conditioning, lights, television, radio, telephone, refrigerator,
microwave, or your computer? What if your water supply
is contaminated or disrupted?
 If residents are advised to shelter in their homes until
danger passes, can you do that for three days? Have you
stored emergency water in your home – a gallon a day per
person and pet? Do you stock non-perishable food?
Is your water heater strapped to prevent it from toppling
over? Do you have a battery-operated radio and ash
lights? Can you turn off utilities if you detect an odor of
gas? If the electric garage door opener isn’t working, can
you manually open the door to escape?
Residents can learn about the Security Patrol and
Community Preparedness Committee all month long in
the display cases at Mountain Shadows.
