Hello Neighbors:
It’s hard to believe, but the holiday season is
upon us. I don’t know about you, but it seems
the year has flown by and very soon it will be
2016. I remember, when I was younger, being
told that time passes by faster as we age. How
true, as it only seems a few months ago that
we were waiting for daytime temperatures to
be in the ‘70s.

I proudly tell other HOA Boards what a (well oiled) community we have. We
should never take for granted what beautiful facilities we have; how meticulous
our recreation center is kept; the many events planned for us monthly; how
neat and clean our community looks due to strict enforcement of our CC&Rs;
and how fiscally solvent we are. To this last point, our independent auditor has
recently given us an unqualified audit, which is highest possible rating that can
be granted. All of the above and assessments have never been increased since
we have taken control from the developer. We all have a lot to be proud of.
The Board of Directors wishes you and your family a healthy, safe and joyous
holiday, and together, we will tackle the challenges of 2016. Happy New Year!

You will soon see a new look on Broadwing and Widewing, as the Board
approved the removal of all trees and vegetation. If you have attended Board
meetings, you know the issues surrounding this decision and the many months
we have deliberated on this matter. We are looking into desert landscaping
and hope to have a better idea of exactly what that will be by the time you
read this article. It’s certain, that without having to water this area, we will see
a savings of approximately $17,000 a year. In addition, the Board has approved
replacing the majority of the fitness equipment with new models, installing
new carpeting and re-painting the fitness area. There will be adequate notice as
to exactly when the fitness center will be shut down and the approximate date
for re-opening.

I am required to submit my articles for “The Breeze” four weeks before the actual
publication; so what follows may appear somewhat vague as to when things
may happen. But I will do my best to accurately report what the Board has
passed and what changes you have to look forward to in our community.

Dear Residents:
What makes our community work? I think
it is the team work created between the

homeowners. The key word here is “Team.”
So what does team mean?

purpose.
With team work from our present committees, homeowners,

to the landscaping in order to save on the water bill. We are
reviewing remodeling the kitchen, looking at new equipment for
the exercise room and several other ideas presented to the Board by
homeowners at the Capitalization and Kitchen Workshops.
We need more homeowners to participate on committees. We need
suggestions and constructive criticism from all Sun City residents in
order to work toward one goal of making Sun City Aliante the best
community in Clark County.
While getting to know my fellow seniors, I have learned of their
interesting lives and careers and their wide variety of knowledge
on different topics. With this said, I would like to ask my fellow
homeowners to join a committee or a club; come to our Board
meetings and workshops; listen and participate; become part of our
team, so we can benefit from your experiences and knowledge.
Respectfully,

Dear Residents:
Tis the season to think about giving…
Have you considered giving 25 Cents to
Change the World?
Warren Buffett will just have to find
something else to do with his money.
Same for Bill Gates...
And Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg...
And all the other wealthy, bold-faced names who use their gazillions
to influence issues near and dear to their hearts and/or business
interests.
Aliante Master Association
Due to the holidays, the Aliante Master Association Board Meeting will
not be held in December.

the Administration Offices on Thursday and Friday, December 24
and 25. The SCAL Community Center will close at noon on Thursday,
December 24 and all day on December 25. The SCAL Community

That’s because there’s now a social fundraising mobile app
specifically dedicated to making it easy for “ordinary people” to
donate 25 cents online -- that’s right, a single quarter -- to a cause of
their choosing.
It’s called A Quarter Back to Society (Quarter-back.org). And cofounders Dan Tseytlonok and Eugeny Prudchyenko are very upfront
about why they feel it’s an idea whose time has come.
“Rich people mainly use charities for self-promotion,” says
Tseytlonok. “But what about ordinary people who want to make a
difference? They can’t afford to give a lot, so we decided to come up
with a micro-donation platform for them.”
The cause closest to the two men’s hearts is understandably the
chaos unleashed by Russia’s April 2014 invasion of eastern Ukraine.
They ran a successful Uber-like ride-booking service in the Donetsk
region before moving to California -- Prudchyenko’s former house
remains riddled with bullets -- and so one choice offered potential
donors is to contribute to a re-homing center now operating in
Donetsk for pets abandoned by their fleeing owners.
“There was no conflict between people living there until (Russian
President) Vladimir Putin made his power grab,” says Tseytlonok.
“Now nearly 8,000 have died.”
Other suggested causes your quarter could help fund here in
America include:
• Medicine for seniors who can’t afford to fill their drug
prescriptions.
• Socks for San Francisco’s large homeless population.
• Body cameras for police officers as a defense against false
charges.
Know that this is the same team behind the EvoShare social platform
-- its app is likewise available for Apple and Android phones -- that’s
designed to give both consumers and charities a percentage back
on shopping purchases in participating stores.
As for A Quarter Back to Society, you can donate 25 cents to as many
causes as you like through Paypal or credit card. And, of course,
you’re also encouraged to create one or more of your own for others
to also get behind.
Think of it, as Prudchyenko says, as “micro donations with macro
impact.” (NewsUSA)
Happy Holidays,

Happy Holidays to you and yours!
The SCAL Administrative Offices will be
closed December 24 and 25 in observance
of the season’s holidays and closed all
day January 1! Make sure you and your
neighbors are ready for the holidays by
trimming back landscape plants and trees
well away from your mailbox and clean up
any cigarette butts or doggie poop that
might have been left by mistake in this area.
Keep the mailbox clean, especially during the
holiday season, as it is a place for neighbors
to gather, catch up and share well wishes.

Thank you for the work you do to take care of your property; it shows
a real sense of community pride and makes me feel lucky to have the
opportunity to work with such wonderful residents!
Decorative concrete color overlays, including spraying the deck, concrete
pattern overlay, stain or paint on concrete driveways and front walkways,
courtyards and patios are permitted. Areas adjacent to the dwelling unit
or lot, which are not owned by the homeowner, shall not be painted,
stained or otherwise altered. These include, but are not limited to,
sidewalks, curbs, mailboxes, utility boxes or pads. Colors shall match the
dwelling unit color scheme and/or coordinate with the aesthetics of the
community.
Samples of the proposed color must be provided to the Architectural
Review Committee (ARC) for approval. Any concrete installation for the
front yard, other than concrete originally installed, shall be limited to an
additional 100 square feet. Driveway additions shall not be greater than
a maximum two-foot extension on both sides of the driveway. Concrete
in rear yards shall not exceed 150 square-feet. One sidewalk may be

not exceed two feet by six feet.
Planning a project for the New Year? Please remember before doing
any work on the outside of your home, you will need to submit an
application to the ARC prior to the meeting. The ARC meets twice
a month to review applications. Almost all requests require you to
complete a plot plan, which we can provide; some requests require
pictures and even samples. If you have questions about your project,
you are invited to attend the ARC Workshop held on 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 put it on the agenda. The Architectural Review Committee’s
only workshop this month will be held on December 10 and the only
ARC Committee meeting will be held on December 11.

The Many Benefits of a Reverse Mortgage:
• You still own your home.*
• No monthly mortgage payment.*
• Get tax-free** money you can use for anything.
• Eliminate your existing mortgage.
How do Reverse Mortgages Work?
The application process is very similar to any other
home loan. If you have sufficient equity in your home,
your current loan (if you have one) will be paid off with
your new reverse mortgage. This will eliminate any
current monthly mortgage payment you have!* Any
additional money after your mortgage is paid will be
available to you tax-free.**

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
MONTHLY TIPS
As online holiday shopping gets underway and purchases are
delivered by FedEX and UPS, what will happen to that package
left on your doorstep when you’re not home? If you’re expecting a
delivery and you’re home, check your front porch during the day
as you might not hear the doorbell ring when they drop off the
package. If you’re out of town or just away for the day, you might
consider letting a neighbor know you’re expecting a delivery, so they
can watch for the delivery and pick up your package. It’s also a good
way to get to know your neighbors, if you don’t already.
If the Neighborhood Watch Patrol sees a package on your doorstep,
they will ring your bell, in an attempt to notify you, but they will not
store or be responsible for those packages.

I would like to take this
opportunity to get sappy as
a Christmas tree! I have been a member of the Aliante Community
now long enough to have made many friends here at the golf club. I
am truly thankful for all of you whom I’ve had the opportunity to get
to know. I have been blessed with the ability to teach, and I thank all
of you who have taken the opportunity to grow your game through
lessons.
I would also like to thank those of you who give me a hard time on a
daily/weekly basis. You know who you are, and the list is too long to
note. Additionally, I don’t want to “out” any of you who have the rest
of the public fooled into thinking you are the “sweetest thing ever.”
All joking aside and sincerely, thank you to all for making this a great
community and golf club.
In the holiday spirit, I figured I would write a couple of golf holiday
songs for your amusement.
Try singing this holiday classic with a bit of different lyrics:
Jingle Balls, Jingle Balls, birdies, pars or shanks!
Lord, I just don’t get this game; is this some kind of prank?
Oh…Jingle Balls, Jingle Balls, why do we all play?
Bad round boo hoo; it’s sad but true; we’re back again
the next day!
Or, how about this one?
Frosty my putter must have played with me last round.
For my putter’s cold, and my friends I’ve told
I am double bogie bound.
Frosty my putter loves to three-putt every hole.
For he’s cold and slips, and he has the yips, and I’m going to learn
to bowl!
Happy Holidays to all and to all a good round! Check out the deals at
the club listed on the right.

The Challenges of Caring for an
Aging Parent or Spouse
Ombudsman’s HOA Class
Monday, December 7, 11 a.m.
Wednesday, December 9, 1:30-3:30 p.m.
Many of us have experienced the challenges of providing care
and assistance to loved ones. Maybe a spouse or relative has
experienced a fall or surgery and is no longer able to care for
themselves without assistance. There are many options for senior
care. The important question is: which one is best for you and your
loved one?
The Ombudsman Offices will host a free class titled “Do you Know…
Common Sense Ideas When Living in an HOA Community?” from
1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 9. The speaker,
Stacee Spoerl, will provide a power point presentation to help
residents and Board members better understand the general rules
and regulations of an HOA (homeowner’s association).
You can choose from in-home
care, adult day care, assisted
living facilities, nursing homes or
residential care homes. All care
settings claim to offer the same
services, care and assistance, but
the quality of care always comes
down to “who” is providing the
care.
She will also provide handouts and inform residents about the
resources available on websites. There is no charge to attend,
but reservations are required. Sign up at the monitor’s desk by

Why is Peripheral Neuropathy
So Dangerous?
Tuesday, December 15, 11 a.m.
Peripheral Neuropathy is an abnormal and degenerative condition of
the nervous system. It can also lead to hypoglycemia or low blood
sugar and full-blown diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes (even when a
person’s on medication) results from a poor diet, lack of exercise and
unstable sugar levels. These can lead to conditions which affect the
whole body potentially leading to amputations.
Common symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy are:
1. Numbness or sensitivity to pain or temperature
2. Tingling, burning or prickling sensations
3. Sharp pains or cramps
4. Extreme sensitivity to touch, even light touch
5. Loss of balance or coordination
Most of these symptoms are worse at night.
F
SEMINARS
Neuropathy affecting the organs with nerve damage can lead to:
1. Urinary incontinence
2. Lack of sexual function
3. Digestion issues (the stomach emptying slowly, bloating,
persistent nausea and vomiting)
4. Lower bowel problems (constipation, diarrhea)
5. The cardiovascular system (which controls circulation
throughout the body)
Representatives from Active Life Health and Wellness will be on hand
December 16 to discuss how you can prevent neuropathy and lessen
the harmful effects of the disease. Sign up at the monitor’s desk by

informative presentation.
Jerrold is a member of Elder
Counsel, an accredited estate
planning attorney and is
recognized as an estate
planning law specialist by the
State Bar of Nevada.
Do you have a loved one who refuses to do estate planning? A
loved one who, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary,
thinks they will never need an estate plan? Or a loved one who keeps
putting off doing ancillary documents, such as a Durable Powers of
Attorney, or refuses to update them?
A complimentary light lunch will be served prior to opening the floor
to questions after the presentation. Sign up at the monitor’s desk by
December 15.
Estate Planning can be difficult. Perhaps you have a blended family
with several children by different spouses. Or maybe, you have a
spouse with special needs who will need help when you’re gone.
Sometimes loved ones are not good with money or pick up a life

Festival of Lights
Hanukkah Celebration
Monday, December 7 - 5:15 p.m.
Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is also known as the “Festival of Lights.”
As the name suggests, the entire festival is a celebration of the
miraculous event that occurred years ago at the Holy Temple in
Jerusalem. The wicks of the Menorah stayed lit for an amazing eight
days at a stretch, although the sacred oil in the temple was enough
to light the wicks for only one day. This is the reason why lights and
lighted decors play such an important part in the observation of the
celebration.
It is a Jewish tradition to eat foods that reflect the significance
of a holiday. For at least the last thousand years, Jewish people
have traditionally eaten oily foods on Hanukkah. Among the most
popular Hanukkah dishes are potato latkes (pancakes) with

applesauce and/or sour cream and sufganiot (deep-fried doughnuts). It is also
customary to eat dairy foods on Hanukkah. Delicious latkes will be provided by The

(BYOB).
Hanukkah 2015 begins on Sunday, December 6, at sundown (4:25 p.m.) “In
commemoration of the miracle of the oil,” Sun City Aliante will begin the observance
in the community center parking lot in front of the Aliante Community Menorah. We
suggest that you be there early. Mark Pallans will host the lighting of the Menorah;
we’ll get together, say a prayer and sing a song. The Menorah will remain at Sun City
Aliante for the entire eight days and lighting will take place every evening at 5 p.m.
The following night, Monday, December 7, Harriet Shuman will host the Festival of
Lights celebration at 5:15 p.m. in the Vista Ballroom after that evening’s Menorah
lighting. The celebration will include a performance by the Sun City Aliante Steppers
and Songsters, Hanukkah songs, and enjoying the traditional foods of the holiday.
Please sign up at the monitor’s desk. Everyone is invited to this complimentary
celebration. (Sources: wikipedia.com, chabad.org, iloveindia.com)

Even though retirement is perceived as
a happy date that you worked towards
achieving your whole life, believe it or not
there are a lot of emotion and stress factors
involved as well. There also can be anxiety
issues from wondering if you are making
the right decision and have thought of
everything. Whether you are newly retired
or retiring soon, planning is vital to avoid
making some big mistakes, such as not
having a sound retirement income plan,
underestimating many costs, inflation and
longevity, forgetting about taxes, improper
wealth management, not knowing all the
rules and laws, etc.

Back by popular demand, The Yipppee Ki Yay Festival, featuring the “Bluegrass
Believers,” proved to be a great evening of good old bluegrass music, fun
and barbeque. Residents enjoyed a delicious meal, which included Angus
beef brisket, barbeque chicken, baked beans, grilled corn, potato salad,
macaroni & cheese and rolls prepared by the chef at the 3100 Grille at Aliante
Golf Course. While guests enjoyed dinner, they listened to traditional and
contemporary bluegrass sounds, featuring Sun City Aliante resident Sy
Nielson.

Fourth Annual Yippee Ki Yay Fall Festival
SCAL residents enjoyed
a belly-laughing evening
with comedian Cary Long
on November 6 in the
Vista Cabaret. From start
to finish, the show was
stand-up comedy at its
best, performed by a guru
who got his start on the hit
television show “Star Search”
with Ed McMahn. He has
also been seen on “Evening
at the Improv,” “VH-1 Stand-up Spotlight with Rosie O’Donnell,” and made
two appearances on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. Long’s act combines
accents, cultures and nationalities into a rib-tickling performance that has
audiences laughing at themselves.

CHARTER CLUB CORNER & SPECIAL INTEREST
DISPLAY CASE
VETERANS AUXILIARY
In June 2012, Sun City Aliante Community Association installed the
community center’s first-ever indoor art and trophy display case in
the east building of the SCAL Community Center. This sleek glass
case gave Chartered Clubs an opportunity to display their art, crafts,
trophies, memorabilia, etc. As we had envisioned in the beginning,
the clubs have done a terrific job presenting vibrant displays of their
club’s activities.
The SCAL Veterans Auxiliary would like to take this opportunity to
thank the community for its many donations for Operation Boots
and Booties. If you are not aware, a baby shower for military families
was held in November. Your generous support helped to make this
an even more special event. A heartfelt thank you to our own SCAL
Silver Threads and Needles and Forget-Me-Knots. They contributed
many hand-made knitted and sewn items that they worked on for
months. Jody Shervanick, the event organizer, could not believe
how wonderful these items were. The mothers will cherish them.
Sun City Aliante now supports 34 Chartered Clubs, and the glass
case only has 11 shelves available for club displays. In order to fairly
accommodate the interests of so many clubs with so little space, the
Activities Department will assign two clubs to each of the 11 shelves
in January.
For more information, please contact Lynn Garlock-Wright, activities
& fitness director at 702-638-5061 and [email protected].
HAND AND FOOT CLUB
On Tuesday, October 13, Mary Hartwell, chairman of the Hand and
Foot Club put on a tournament for the second time this year. With
the help of Anita Kadyk, everyone had a great time, and the event
included a delicious luncheon. The winners (highest score to lowest)
were Cheryl Fischer, Anita Kadyk, Beryl Hayat, JoAnn Ehlers and Cecil
Ehlers. The club members appreciate Mary and Anita’s hard work in
coordinating their autumn tournament.
The Auxiliary again expresses its thanks to the community for your
support, both in the past and for upcoming events. They could not
do it without you! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to contact Helen Melnick at [email protected] and 702-538-8396 or
Anne Zarate at [email protected] and 702-657-9807.

The Holidays are upon us! The Seniors with Warm Hearts’ Holiday
“Giving” Tree for the children and parents of S.A.F.E. House, continues
through December 17. You can choose a tag from the tree with a
child’s wish list, or if you prefer, you may donate a child’s gift of your
choice.
Gifts are needed for all ages: newborns to age 18, and there are tags
for the parents too. Please donate one or two items if you can. Place
unwrapped gifts in the collection box. The parents enjoy wrapping
the gifts for their children. Donations of wrapping paper, ribbon,
bows, holiday decorations and stocking stuffers are always welcome.
(If you take a tag, and then change your mind, please return the tag
to the tree as soon as possible; so no child will be left without a gift.)
Thank you and Happy Holidays, from the Seniors with Warm Hearts.

Hearts and their efforts, the next regular meeting is Friday, December

VETERANS CLUB
Greetings Friends, Neighbors and Fellow Veterans:
The past couple of months have been busy for the Sun City Aliante
Veterans Club. First, Karl Vonderohe and his crew of volunteers
did an incredible job putting on the Seniors Assisting Seniors Golf
Tournament held at the Aliante Golf Club. Bozarth Chevrolet was
the primary sponsor and other great sponsors included Smith’s
grocery stores, Realty One, Goodman Lifetime Wealth Strategies,
Climate Control Experts, and many more. This was the first time we
organized such a large event. The tournament raised about $6,700
and will further the efforts of the Foundation Assisting Seniors; the
parent organization to Seniors Assisting Seniors at Sun City Aliante.
Thanks to all who volunteered and played in the tournament. We
plan to organize this event again next year.

Silver Needles & Threads
The ladies of the Forget-Me-Knots and the Silver Needles & Threads
pictured here have been collaborating with the Sun City Aliante
Veterans Auxiliary to prepare for items for “Operations Boots &
Booties,” a baby shower for military families stationed at Nellis Air
Force Base during November.
Members of the organizations would like to thank the residents of
Sun City Aliante for donations of money, yarn, fabric and other gifts
used for this project.
The photographs show the completion of more than one hundred
crib and receiving blankets, quilts, sweaters, hats, bibs and burp
pads. All the items were consolidated with gifts from other
organization in the Las Vegas area for the baby shower in November.
I’m sure you all saw the American flags in our community to
celebrate Veterans Day. Thanks to Jerry Balu and his crew for putting
up and taking down the flags. As always, Jerry could use more
volunteers to help with this project. You can contact Jerry at 702633-0034 to get on the list of volunteers. He will provide you with a
schedule for next year.
Our annual spaghetti dinner was another great success. I want to
thank all our residents, neighbors and friends who participated
in this annual event. We had over 200 attendees and raised about
$1,000 to donate to the Honor Flight organization. Honor Flight
is an outstanding group and has sent several hundred WWII and
Korean War veterans to Washington D.C. to visit the various veterans’
memorials in our nation’s capital. The organization provides all
travel and ancillary expenses at no charge to the veterans. It is
an outstanding cause for the veterans who gave so much to our
country. In addition to the Veterans Club, the Veterans Auxiliary did a
great job with their fundraiser hosted by Virtual Memory Pix.
Now that the holidays are upon us, the Veterans Club wishes a
very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all our friends and
neighbors. Enjoy your holiday and have a super, safe and healthy
new year. There will be no meeting in December.
Please remember to pray for our brave men and women who will be
serving our country in faraway places this holiday season. They give
all for us and deserve our prayers and gratitude.
