Where has the year gone? Here we are in
November; and before we know, it will be
2015. The summer heat has been forgotten;
and for many, the cool mornings bring back
memories of places we lived before moving to
the high desert of Nevada.

The Nevada Senior Games pickleball tournament was another wonderful
example of community. Everyone, who took the time to volunteer, helped
SCAL receive special recognition from visitors as far away as Florida, Alaska,
Texas and Canada, to name a few. I know Bob Zeiglar and his committee did
a great job in getting things organized, as well as the many residents who
took time to referee, input scores and help with refreshments, raffles and
keeping our parking lot available to our residents. We also could not have
met the special needs that arose had it not been for the quick response of our
maintenance staff.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to say thank you, for your patience over
the last six months; although, at times it seemed longer; as we finally complete
the sports complex, there are a few details still remaining. A special thanks to
the Sun City Aliante Veterans for their presentation of colors and to the Sun
City Aliante Songsters for singing the National Anthem at our grand opening
celebration. We would also be remiss if we did not thank the Pickleball Club,
Tennis Club and the Basketball Club for being a part of the celebration, along
with hundreds of residents who joined in the celebration and enjoyed the ice
cream social.

Around the Association, things continue to
progress. With home prices UP 30.7 percent
for zip code 89084, we see homes on the
market for a much shorter time. Over the
summer, we have had many sales, and the buyers have all commented that
they bought here because of the amenities we offer in the community.
Another comment that I have heard from visitors, especially those living in
other HOAs, is that they are impressed with the friendliness of our owners.
Thank you for making visitors feel welcome.
ASSOCIATION NEWS
Dear Residents:
Ever have trouble recalling a word
or a name? Have you or a loved one
ever been concerned about mental
deterioration or Alzheimer’s disease?
If you answered “yes,” you are in the
majority! Most people have had
these concerns. The question is:
what is part of the normal aging
process, or what may become a
progressive, debilitating disease?
-
T H E
B R E E Z E
First, let’s describe the normal
aging process as it relates to
memory and cognition. Then we’ll
progress to the pathological state
where there is serious disability leading
to loss of function and eventually even death.
Making memories
Memories are stored in the brain. As the brain ages and accumulates
ever-increasing memories and data, accessing this information as
fast as you might have in your youth becomes more difficult. Many
of us have had the experience of having an elusive name or fact pop
up in our mind a few minutes later in a conversation, particularly
when we were relaxed and not urgently searching for an answer.
Physiological processes such as fatigue, hunger, poor nutrition,
alcohol, drugs and illnesses—all affect the ability to recall.
One’s emotional state—if you are relaxed, happy, and content—also
helps improve mental acuity. Being in a comfortable social situation,
as opposed to being ill at ease or confrontational, also affects one’s
mental abilities and recall.
Our environment can make us better or worse. Being organized,
avoiding clutter, using assistive devices such as calendars, contact
lists, handheld devices, etc. can also make a big difference in how
our mind and memory function.
Most importantly, keeping your mind active by continuously
learning, reading and playing games that require intellectual skill,
such as Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit or even crossword puzzles and
Sudoku, are also excellent for maintaining top function. Being
creative by writing, playing music or producing art are also good
examples.
When to worry
When should you start to worry about yourself—or a loved one or
colleague—concerning memory loss?
Serious memory loss usually starts insidiously with the inability to
recall recent events but with the preservation of “remote” memory,
that is, the ability to recall events that occurred years ago.
When the loss of memory starts affecting your ability to perform the
activities of daily life, such as finding your way to a familiar place or
accomplishing a chore which you previously could do with facility
and now cannot handle, then you need professional help. If you
previously were good in the kitchen with recipes or handy with
repairs and now cannot function even when conditions are optimal,
then you have a problem and should seek help. Other warning
signs include having trouble learning, repeating the same phrases
or stories in the same conversation, problems handling money,
worsening verbal ability or not being able to keep track of your
4 - November 2014
daily schedule. All are indications of a problem which needs to be
recognized and addressed.
Alzheimer’s disease is an abnormality of the brain characterized
by progressive loss of mental function with associated physical
changes. Unfortunately the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease doubles
every five years after age 65 and currently affects an estimated 5.3
million Americans. There are a few newer medicines which seem to
slow down the progression of this troubling illness, and there is a
huge initiative with researchers to better understand the cause and
mechanism along with hopefully coming up with a cure for memory
loss.
Staying alert and involved intellectually is the take home message.
Most of us are fine but getting early recognition and treatment for
those of us who will have progressive disease is equally imperative.

It’s time to change your sprinkler timers in
the garage! Mandatory water restrictions
limit landscape irrigation to one assigned
day per week from November 1 through
February 28, and remember that Sunday is
not an optional water day. Don’t forget to
reset your irrigation clock when daylight
saving time ends on the first Sunday in
November at 2 a.m. When you’re changing your indoor clocks, make
sure you update the time on your irrigation clock.
Let’s add checking tree stakes to the November “to do list.” Protect
your young trees from the winter winds that can easily damage trees
by securing their stakes; but don’t stake them too tightly since that
can also damage your tree.
If the temperature drops into the 30 degree Fahrenheit range, use
blankets or burlap as plant coverings, and remove the covering
during the day unless the wind is blowing or the temperature
remains in the 30s.
If you plan to do any work outside of your home, you must submit
an application to the ARC committee, which meets twice a month
to review applications. When you submit an ARC application, fill out
your contact information at the top of the form and initial where it
applies to your project. Please put your signature and date at the
bottom of the form. Almost all requests require you to complete a
plot plan; some requests require pictures and even samples. The
legal owner must address any questions/comments regarding
this submission. If you hire a contractor, please make sure they
understand what is required for this neighborhood for your project.
The Architectural Review Committee will meet on November 7
and November 21. An ARC workshop will be held the Thursday
prior to each ARC meeting at 8:30 a.m.
If you need to update your emergency contact information, please
email [email protected].
Trash pickup is every Tuesday, and the bulk pick up dates are
November 11 and November 25. Do not put your trash receptacles
out at the curb before Monday night at 6 p.m., and put them away
no later than Tuesday night at 6 p.m.
The Membership and Compliance office will be closed on November

FOR YOUR SAFETY
NOVEMBER 2014
• An alarm system is an
excellent deterrent to
crime. More than 90
percent of the convicted
burglars interviewed in a
University of Miami study
said they would avoid
breaking into a home
with an alarm.
• Display security system
and Neighborhood Watch
decals on your windows
and doors.
• Your security system should include a loud siren, sensors on
both the front and back doors and motion sensors in the
master bedroom (where thieves search for cash, jewelry and
guns) and in the living/family room (where thieves look for
valuable electronics).

BE SAFE DURING THE HOLIDAYS
As you’re out shopping this holiday season, here are a few safety tips
to remember. Always park where there is plenty of light, not only
around your car, but also from your car to the mall or store entrance.
Use the trunk of your car to keep your packages out of sight. Carry
your keys in your hand to and from the store. When walking through
parking lots, be sure that you’re aware of your surroundings. Walk
with authority. Don’t look like a victim.

Five Healthy Foods You
Might Not Be Eating ...
but Should
(NewsUSA) - Many of us are looking for fresh ways to lead healthier
lifestyles and eat nutritiously, without having to sacrifice flavor. You
may already be eating fruits and veggies, like broccoli and bananas,
but here are five nutritional superstars you should be piling on your
plate if you aren’t already:
1. Lentils. Lentils may look like the runt of the legume family, but
don’t be fooled. These are rich in dietary fiber and are a good source
of iron and folate, which collectively help reduce the risk of heart
disease, increase your metabolism and improve digestive health. Talk
about big things coming in small packages!
2. Cauliflower. Cauliflower is having its turn in the spotlight this
year -- and rightfully so. This cruciferous vegetable is rich in vitamin
C, fiber and potassium. Try whipped cauliflower in place of mashed
potatoes, or grill slices of it for a new side dish. Tip: If the bitter taste
of raw cauliflower turns you off, try steaming or sautéing for milder
flavor.
3. Sardines. Sardines may not be the first fish to come to mind,
but they are certainly one of the healthiest. This petite treat is a
lean source of protein, rich in Omega-3s, vitamin B12 and vitamin
D, making them a heart-healthy snack worth trying. StarKist’s new
Gourmet Selects skinless, boneless sardine fillets come packed in
delicious gourmet sauces. They are great for a snack right out of the
can or a perfect addition to any culinary creation.
4. Pomegranate. Pomegranates have often taken a backseat
to other fruits, but these delicious gems pack arguably a bigger
nutritional punch than some of the traditional favorites. Not only are
the seeds and juice jam-packed with antioxidants, but they are also
high in vitamin C and potassium, and the seeds are a great source
of fiber. Tip: Avoid the mess by deseeding with the pomegranate
submerged in water.
5. Flaxseeds. As a good source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids
and antioxidants, flaxseeds are often considered nutritional
powerhouses. Lucky for us, ground or milled flaxseeds can be easily
mixed into almost any recipe, including cereal, baked goods, yogurt
and more. Tip: If you buy whole flaxseeds, grind them right before
using to reap all the nutritional benefits.
For more ways to include healthy foods like sardines in your diet, check
out www.StarKist.com/Sardines and www.Facebook.com/StarKist.

Tee It Up
With A Pro
By Paul Cox, PGA
Thanks To Golf’s
Founders
Let us give thanks for golf, and
in the spirit of the holidays and
argument going hand in hand,
let us visit the much debated
origin of golf...amen.
The game of “golf” that we know and love today originated in
Scotland in the 1400s; but there is an ongoing debate about the
origin of the game. Here is the short list and timeline that most
historians argue:
• The world’s oldest golf tournament as well as golf’s first major
championship is The Open Championship. The first Open was
played in Ayrshire, Scotland at Prestwick Golf Club in 1860.
For those of you who read my column, you’ll remember Willie
Park Sr. won the first Open, and he received no money, but he
got to keep the “challenge belt” for the year.
On behalf of all golf nuts, thank you to the world for golf. Thank you
to the first folks who swung a stick at a ball. Thank you to the Scots
for all of the rules, regulations and traditions that make us all love,
hate and become addicted to this silly, silly, but wonderful game.
I look forward to seeing you on the practice tee here at Aliante
Golf Club and to helping you improve your skills and your
enjoyment of the game.
This is our club, our community and I’m glad to be a part of it.
Paul
At The Club:
Come out to the golf clinic (open to all abilities) Tuesdays at 8:30 a.m.
The cost is only $20 per golfer for 45 minutes of group instruction.
Sessions are limited to eight students. To sign up, email pcox@

Golf Quote:
“You have to learn the rules of the game, and then play better than
anyone else.” - Albert Einstein
• paganica - a Roman game played with a bent stick and a
leather ball possibly spread through Europe as the Romans
conquered the continent during the first century BC.
• chuiwan - (“chui” means striking and “wan” means small ball)
a Chinese game played from the 700s to 1300s. This game
is believed to have been introduced in Europe during the
Middle Ages.
• kolven - (a game involving a ball and curved bats) was played
in the late 13th century Netherlands.
• cambuca - resembles modern golf and originated in England
in the 12th century. Chambot was the French equivalent to
the British version.
• chaugán - is another possible ancient origin from the Persian
empire.
• The oldest Rules of Golf on record date back to 1744 and
were compiled for the Company of Gentlemen Golfers.
T H E
The games above are really just an argument regarding the origin
of “hitting a ball with a stick” in Europe. The history of the game of
golf as we know it today, as well as golf’s written record, we owe to
those crazy Scotsman! Here are some quick historical facts regarding
modern golf.
B R E E Z E
• We know that the game was banned in the mid-1400s
because King James IV thought it was a distraction from
military training, specifically archery, but get this. The King
took up the game, and subsequently, lifted the ban in 1502.
There was a King who got his priorities straightened out, but
probably not his driver!
• Musselburgh Links in East Lothian, Scotland is considered the
oldest golf course in the world by Guinness World Records.
The 9-hole par 34 course, open since the mid-1500s is still
played.

For those who have never been to Sheri’s Ranch, we invite you come
out and see what everyone is so excited about! Sheri’s Ranch is a
premier legal brothel offering safe, discreet adult entertainment.
Nevada brothels
have existed since
the 1800s. The first
licensed bordello
opened in 1971.
Nevada is the only
U.S. State offering
legal prostitution in
a regulated brothel.
However, regulated
brothels are only legal
in certain counties.
Nevada State law
prohibits prostitution
in any county with a high population, such as Clark County, which
includes Las Vegas. Sheri’s Ranch was awarded Brothel of the Year
2011 and 2012.
Sports Bar & Restaurant
While you wait for your group to tour the ranch, you can watch the
game, wet your whistle, enjoy fine all-American cuisine and share
some stimulating conversation with the world famous courtesans of
Sheri’s Ranch in their very own sports bar and restaurant. You’ll enjoy
a delicious lunch buffet consisting of chicken fingers, barbequed
meatballs, pinwheel sandwiches, potato salad, fruit salad and a relish
tray and a soda or juice. You can purchase spirits from the bar at
your own expense.
After Lunch Experience Pahrump’s Wine Country
After touring Sheri’s Ranch enjoy a tour and wine tasting at Sander’s
Winery. Nestled on the southern side of the town of Pahrump,
Sanders Winery offers stunning panoramic mountain views. The
winery is bordered on each side by the beautiful Spring Mountains
to the East, and the colorful Nopah Range defining the NevadaCalifornia border to the West.
The winery architecture is a renaissance period Italian Tuscan Villa
with the nearly 12,000 foot high Mount Charleston as the backdrop.
Visitors are welcomed at the gates by the statue of Teresa Lilianna,
“The Wine Pourer.” The main entrance to the estate is lined with tall
Italian Cypress trees, flanked by two full production vineyards. The

thanks to the Sun City
Aliante Veterans, for their

to the Sun City Aliante
Songsters for singing the
National Anthem at our
grand opening celebration.
The President of the SCAL Board of Directors Don Schaefer presided
over the ceremonies. The ribbon cutting took place at the courts

complimentary event, graciously hosted by MK House Consulting.
Martin Mancuso, a
very talented, versatile
saxophone player and
comic performer, brought
his talents to Sun City
Aliante on September
26. Billed as “Rabbit
and His Crazy Cast of
Characters,” Martin took
residents on a journey
through the television and
movie themes from the
50s to the present. Jerry
Lewis, Sam Butera, Rocky, the Three Stooges, Low Rider, Jaws and
Godzilla, were just a few characters he used to entertain residents.
At the conclusion of his show, he performed an inspirational song
dedicated to veterans who have served and are now serving.

VETERANS AUXILIARY
Introducing the “How R U Program”
HEADS UP! The Sun City Aliante Veterans Club Auxiliary will
distribute various personal items to veterans attending the Veterans
Stand-Down next March. Beginning in January 2015, the Auxiliary
will collect donations of towels, washcloths, soap, razors and shaving
cream. A donation box will be placed near the monitor’s desk at
that time. Auxiliary members want to thank the community ahead
of time for their support. For more information, contact Auxiliary
Chairs, Helen Melnick at [email protected] and 702-538-8397 or Anne
Zarate at [email protected] and 702-657-9807.
The “How R U” program is designed to minimize the risk of living
alone by maintaining daily contact with those in need. “How R U”
representatives will call the resident daily at a designated time to see
if he or she is okay.
If the resident does not answer the phone, and they are expected
to be at home, a “How R U” representative will immediately call their
emergency contacts and ask them to check on the resident and, if
necessary, call 911.

Lane Strategy. The video is just over fifteen minutes long and three Sun City Aliante home owners are mentioned. Visit YouTube and search
for “Bowling Lane Strategy” or go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VegG1XzyuPk&feature=youtu.be. The video does not offer bowling
instructions, but instead talks about bowling awareness and strategies.

The bowlers meet at noon on Wednesdays at the Santa Fe Station Casino Bowling Center.

THE FORGET-ME-KNOTS
The Forget-Me-Knots do
knitting and crocheting for
charity. The photo pictured
here represents some of
the items they made for the
Neonatal Ward at UMC. In
addition, the club contributes
to another charity called
Foster Kids. They recently
donated three large bags of
knitted and crocheted items to Foster Kids.
The club meets every Monday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Social
Hall at the Community Center. They create knitting and crocheting
projects for charities as well as doing projects of their own. Joining
them in their create efforts every Monday are needle workers and
jewelry makers. All residents who enjoy crochet and needle projects
are welcome to attend the weekly gathering.
Now that we have returned from our California coast cruise, I’m sure
you will hear glowing reports about the fun we all had. Hopefully, we
can do another cruise next year. Santo Parisi did a great job putting it
together for us.
Looking forward to next year, the Seniors Assisting Seniors will
sponsor a golf tournament at the Aliante Golf Club on Saturday,
October 10, 2015. More details will follow; but save the date as
players will come from all over the valley and the availability to
participate should fill up early. For more information, you can contact
me at 702-234-9183.
Once again, on behalf of the Veterans Club of Sun City Aliante, I wish
you all a very happy and safe holiday season. Please give thanks and
prayers for all of our brave men and women who will be on guard for
us away from home during this season. God bless them, each and
every one.

The holidays are right around the corner. The Seniors with Warm
Hearts will collect gifts for the children and mothers at S.A.F.E. House
again this year. Look for the “Giving Tree” and “Collection Box” in
the lobby of the SCAL Community Center, from November 24 until
December 22. 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 18 years, and there will
be tags for the mothers, too. Please donate one or two items, if you
can. Place your unwrapped gifts in the “Collection Box.” The mother’s
enjoy wrapping the gifts for their children. Donations of wrapping
paper, ribbon and bows are greatly appreciated, as well as stocking
stuffers. (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.) Thanks from all of the Seniors with Warm Hearts.
Our annual spaghetti dinner is scheduled for Saturday, November
8 at 4 p.m. The Auxiliary will offer beer and wine for your dining
pleasure, and the proceeds from sales will be used to purchase
additional lap blankets for Wounded Warriors. The dinner proceeds
will be donated to the Foundation Assisting Seniors, our parent
group for the Seniors Assisting Seniors, a group of volunteers at
Sun City Aliante. Donations will be used to purchase light bulbs,
batteries and other needed supplies the Foundation provides to
our community at no charge. The dinner is always sold out; so get
your tickets from the Veterans Club as soon as possible. For more
information, contact Don Kaufman at 702-405-7092.

To successfully hold a tournament of this size requires months
of planning and preparation; a large number of volunteers; and
cooperation and communication between the tournament
sponsors and the community. Overall, the community response was
exceptional with many residents offering to volunteer. We heard
some concerns about parking lot issues, but with some careful
planning by the parking lot coordinator, Bill Lee, and cooperation
of Aliante Hotel Casino, the tournament was successful and parking
was not an issue with SCAL residents.

to compete). Some of the larger brackets included: 15 teams of
women’s and men’s doubles in the 60-69 age group, 16 teams
of mixed doubles in the 55-59 age group and 17 teams of mixed
doubles in the 60-64 age group.
The Nevada Senior Games Pickleball Tournament was held at Sun
City Aliante on Oct. 6, 7 and 8. A total of 230 people from across
the country and Canada were registered, although we expected
approximately 500 people to visit throughout the tournament days.
Most of the players lived outside the Las Vegas area. Games started
at 8 a.m.
During preparations
for the tournament,
the organizers
worked to minimize
the impact of the
tournament on the
Sun City Aliante
residents. Our goal
was to hold a first
class tournament
with no more than
240 competitors.
The new Sports
Complex was inviting
for competitors, along with SCAL’s friendly atmosphere, location,
community center and amenities. We are very fortunate to live in
Sun City Aliante and remain confident that we will continue to be an
attractive destination for future tournaments.
In addition to the residents who volunteered to assist with this event,
we also received community support. Numerous vendors, senior
support groups and local organizations participated by securing
tables at the tournament.
Supporters included Southwest Medical Associates, Senior
Dimensions, Walgreens, Modern Dentistry, Grant, Morris, Dodds
– Attorneys at Law, State Farm, Align Chiropractic and a Sun City
Aliante real estate agent. While the Aliante Hotel Casino did not
have a table, the hotel staff worked with tournament volunteers to
help accommodate parking for players and guests. All of the above
organizations donated funds, or materials, or both, to help offset the
cost of the tournament.
To all of the volunteers who helped us, thank you! We hope you
enjoyed the competition and took the opportunity to meet some of
the players, residents and supporters of the event.
The oldest registered player was age 86, and there were several
registered players who were in their 50s (the youngest age eligible

SUN CITY ALIANTE STEPPERS TAKE
HOME THREE GOLD MEDALS
SCAL SONGSTER SPOTLIGHT
Sylvia Philbert
Music has been an integral part
of Sylvia Philbert’s life since she
was a child. Born in Oakland
California, her father was a
tenor in the church choir and
played tenor sax. Sylvia sang in
the children’s choir at the local
Methodist Church, and she and
her brother performed in the
Weldonian Youth Band.
The family moved to Santa Rosa,
California, when Sylvia was 11
years old. She remembers how
it felt coming from a large school moving to a very small one. There
she excelled at the piano and violin and sang in the choir.
Choreographer for the Steppers, Ms. Pam Baltz, received high
praise from the judges for her creative work. The event was well
attended and the contenders performed a variety of dance styles.
Congratulations to the Steppers for their hard work, talent and
dedication.
They say, “Time Flies when you’re having fun.” It’s Bunco time! Join
us on November 13 (the second Thursday of the month). Check in
is at 6 p.m., and the games starts at 6:30 p.m. Don’t forget to show
your card at the front desk, bring $5 for prizes, and snacks are always
welcome. For more information, contact Don or Mary Kaufmann at
702-405-7092 and [email protected].
Her love of music continued: singing with the Northern California
Chamber Choir and going on several European and British Island
tours. She moved to Sun City Aliante in 2008, choosing her home
and putting a down payment on it in less than a half hour. She
moved to Las Vegas to be closer to her youngest son and his
family. The rest of her children, 12 grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren live in California and Oregon.
Sylvia keeps busy doing yoga, swimming, walking, traveling, dancing
with the Sun City Aliante Steppers and is active in her church. She
continues her love of teaching to this day and tutors several students
throughout the valley in language arts and math.
She was one of the original members of the Sun City Aliante
Songsters and remembers meeting on Saturday mornings at Jane
Mehta’s house to practice. She also remembers the first performance
was for Valentine’s Day in the Vista room. When asked why the Sun
City Aliante Songsters she replies, “Because it is such an uplifting
group. I love the content, the music and the director. I just love to
sing with this wonderful group.” The Songsters are glad she does!

BUNCO
Sylvia and Richard had five children. While raising them, Sylvia
found the time to become certificated in Early Childhood Education
and opened Small World Learning Center for preschoolers. She
enjoyed teaching and was proud that all of her preschoolers entered
kindergarten with the ability to read. In 1981, she received her
teaching credentials from Sonoma State University and taught
elementary school for 27 years. She started the home school
program for Napa Valley Unified School District and then for Santa
Rosa School District.
T H E
Photos of the Steppers were recently showcased on Channel 33
during an Interview with the Ms. Senior Nevada Pageant Director
Charlie Christy.
Sylvia married her husband, Richard, who is a jazz alto sax player.
They moved to Napa Valley, where Richard worked as a math teacher.
There, Sylvia was active in the Presbyterian Church singing in choirs
and directing the children’s choir. She also sang in the Faculty Wives
Choir.

The Sun City Aliante Steppers continue to stay busy performing for
many events throughout the year. Their last appearance was on
October 16 for Nevada Community Appreciation Day, sponsored
by the Nevada Comprehensive Pain Center. All proceeds will be
donated to benefit Opportunity Village.
In high school, Sylvia accompanied the school orchestra and sang
in the Madrigal a cappella choir. She was also the pianist for the
community orchestra. For her 8th grade commencement, she played
the piano rather than marching alongside her classmates. She
continued her studies and music at the Santa Rosa Junior College.
The Sun City Aliante Steppers competed in the Nevada Senior
Olympics on September 28. The event was held at Sun City
MacDonald Ranch. The dance troupe received two gold medals in
the dance category. Margo Young, director for the Steppers, also
received a gold medal for her solo performance.
