SUN CITY ANTHEM BOARD OF DIRECTORS
President’s Report
Board elections. Ballots will be mailed to our members
starting April 5th, and the deadline for casting ballots is
4:00 p.m. on April 30th. The ballots will be tabulated at a
member meeting starting at 8:30 a.m. on May 1st. The
newly constituted Board will hold its organizational
meeting starting at 10:00 a.m. on May 10th. At this
meeting, the Board will elect officers and agree on liaison
assignments to our standing committees.
Unlike many associations, we do not use a nominating
committee to recruit or screen candidates for election
to our Board. Any member (homeowner) can become
a candidate by completing a few short forms. Our
Association relies entirely on our members to select
directors by voting. There will be many opportunities to
listen to and meet the candidates at neighborhood
gatherings and community forums. Please take the time to
meet and learn about your neighbors who have
volunteered to serve on our Board, and then cast your
informed vote.
Our Board’s role. Our Board is elected for only one
purpose: to govern the affairs of our Association. We keep
this limitation in mind when we are asked to try to
influence issues affecting the residents of our city, county
or state. We only get involved in legislation affecting our
Association and issues that affect our community and the
surrounding communities more than other Henderson
residents. These include such issues as our opposition to
the Sloan Hills strip mine proposal and our efforts to
reduce air traffic over our community. With these rare
exceptions, we limit our activities to governing our
Association, which is what you elected us to do.
Standing committees. Our Association relies heavily on
the work of our standing committees to assist our Board in
making policy decisions. Most of our committees hold
monthly public meetings and also work between monthly
meetings. A committee member serves a two-year term,
and can serve a second term. Service on a committee is
limited to four years, which assures over time an infusion
of new members with new ideas. Our community limits
committee service to a maximum of four years to balance
the need for experience and continuity with the benefits of
new ideas and different perspectives.
Serving on a standing committee is an excellent way to
influence decisions affecting our community, learn how
our Association functions, and get to know the other
volunteers serving on our committees and our Board.
Please consider volunteering when you learn that a
committee is seeking new members.
6 Sun City Anthem • April 2012
HOAs: good or bad? The Las Vegas Sun recently gauged
the feelings of their readers about HOAs, which got me to
thinking about this issue. I learned in law school that
a person only owns a bundle of rights associated with a
property item. For example, ownership of land is subject to
limitations such as zoning and eminent domain rights
reserved by government. Buying a home in an HOA adds
another layer of rights and limitations to those imposed by
government.
HOAs are neither inherently good nor inherently bad. The
pros and cons of each HOA are different, and the key
concept is to match your desires to the right HOA. Barb and
I used this cost-benefit analysis when we bought our home
here. The benefits are many: three community buildings
which include fitness centers, pools, craft and activity
rooms, landscaped main streets, and much more. To us
these benefits are worth the $1,100 in annual assessments;
but this doesn’t mean buying a home in our Association is
the right decision for another couple with a different
perspective.
Shredder truck problems. I was one of our many residents
who experienced long lines at the community shredder
truck on March 3. Although we only advertise the
availability of this free paper shredding service to our
residents, it appears that word has spread outside of our
community. To avoid this problem in the future, it will be
necessary to show an SCA activities card in order to use our
shredding service. Your next opportunity to have sensitive
records shredded will be on Saturday, May 5, 8:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m.
Anthem Council update. At their February meeting, the
Anthem Council Board approved the purchase of new
lights for the two waterfalls near the intersection of Eastern
and Anthem Parkway. These new LED lights will cost
$41,500. The primary reason for the change to LED lighting
is that the original incandescent lights cannot handle the
constant pounding imposed on them by the waterfalls,
which results in frequent expensive repairs.
Jim Long,
Board President
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Many Openings for Volunteers at
SCA's Own Channel 99
Station Transitions to High Definition; Needs Your Help
Despite being referred to as a “vast wasteland” by a
long-ago chairman of the FCC, television has nevertheless
insinuated itself into our lives, for better or for worse.
Here in Sun City Anthem, we reap the benefits of
operating a cable television channel for the exclusive use
and enjoyment of our residents, thanks to the largesse of
Cox Communications.
From a viewer's perspective, Channel 99, like Star Trek,
takes us places that we haven't been before. Some of us,
whether due to lack of
transportation or
physical infirmities,
would not be able to

behind-the-scenes producers, writers, reporters, editors,

complemented by a multi-talented group of on-air
personalities. A dedicated support staff works to
coordinate activities.
The station was launched in 2004 by resident Larry
Attebery, and Bob Passaro took the reins as executive
producer early in 2006. During Bob's stewardship, more
diversified programming has transformed the station's
lineup from basic news segments to include its current
stable of around-the-clock offerings. For those with
high-def cable reception, Channel 99 is now available on
Cox channel 980, and programs may also be accessed
24/7 on the Internet at suncityanthem99.com.
In addition to Anthem

includes:
• Sit 'n Be Fit is a show directed to folk who like to
exercise at home or are unable to get to the rec centers
• Home Maintenance demonstrates how to perform
routine tasks around the house
• Channel 99 Showcase presents longer, in-depth
versions of segments from Anthem Alive!
• The Best of Channel 99, which showcases oldies but
goodies, reruns of popular segments from Anthem
Alive!
The show's diverse subject matter includes: reviews of
local shows, movies, restaurants and books; interviews
with residents and local celebrities; the latest on
healthcare concerns and home maintenance tasks; home
exercise tips; updates on SCA activities and events; local
historic and archeological points of interest; music
industry and entertainment icons; veterans' affairs, and
more news tailored to seniors living the SCA lifestyle.
• Fun Fishing for Local Seniors, a resident-produced
show featuring fishing at Lake Mead, which is
followed by the California-based
commercial show

Channel 99 was the first of its kind – a closed-circuit

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
The station has earned a reputation for delivering reliable,
creative and relevant content not only to residents of SCA,
but to neighboring communities as well. Channel 99's
signal is transmitted beyond SCA boundaries, so there is
an audience in Anthem Highlands, Anthem Country Club,
Solera, Coventry and Seven Hills. Ideally, we're projecting
an image of life in
Sun City Anthem
that encourages
others to come
here to live when
they retire. And
don't forget,

way to show your

live.
Volunteer: Channel 99 has arrived at a
crossroads as old-timers take their leave, and the
station transitions to high-definition telecasts.
Channel 99 has reached a milestone as many volunteer
producers, editors and specialists who have been with
the station since its inception plan to retire soon. Bob
Passaro emphasizes that camera people, audio and
lighting specialists, editing and graphics personnel,
videographers, and equipment and studio managers are
especially needed.
Prior experience is not necessary; Channel 99 will train
volunteers. Bob notes that most volunteers have received
free training in-house and had very little, if any, prior
exposure to television production. Volunteer residents
will learn all aspects of audio and video, using the latest
computers and movie programs. “Many of our Channel 99
volunteers started here knowing nothing about TV
production,” Bob says, “and some of them are now our
channel's superstars.”
Passaro emphasizes, “The only prerequisites for any
position with Channel 99 are enthusiasm and the ability
to work as part of a team.” He also notes that volunteers
can work as many
hours or as few as
suits them, and
can work from the
Channel 99 offices

Center — or in
some cases, from their own homes. Bob is available to
train volunteers who are ready and willing to learn.
Given the diversity of skills, interests and expertise
indigenous to SCA residents, there could be a huge pool of
untapped ambition and desire to participate in shaping
the future of this precious community asset. Whether you
have real-life know-how or simply harbor the desire for a
new and fulfilling experience, volunteering at Channel 99
could enrich your life.

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
Lionel Draper, Architectural Review Subcommittee
Chairperson
Our Community is aging and some older villages are
in need of fence maintenance/repainting and exterior
painting of their home. Those who have access to the
Internet can find information regarding their exterior paint
scheme or additional schemes to select if they so choose. If
you are painting your home the same color scheme, you
do not need Architectural approval. If you are changing
your color scheme, you would need to attend one of the
Architectural Plan Reviews to select a different color
scheme and request approval.
Perimeter fences and gates must be the Community color
called Victorian Garnet. Courtyard fences, gates and entry
gates can either be the color of Victorian Garnet or a color
that matches one of the colors of their home. Two places
that have the Victorian Garnet paint on hand are Frazee
Paint and Sherwin Williams.
The Sun City Anthem website at www.sca-hoa.org , under
Board/Committees, Architectural Review lists the exterior
paint information as well as the Design Guidelines and
various Architectural forms.

The development of the Annual Budget is a rigorous
process that begins in February and concludes with the
Annual Residents Meeting to ratify the budget for the next
year in mid-November. Volunteers from the standing
committees spend many hours working with the Board of
Directors and the management company staff over a nine
and a half month period to develop the financial operating
plan for the next year. Our objective is to insure that the
high level of service and maintenance of our community
are preserved at the lowest practical cost. Between now
and fall, I will provide updates, here in the Spirit, on the
progress on the development of the Annual Budget for
2013. By September, a series of workshops and meetings,
open to the public, will be held to present and review the
budget with the Board of Directors and the community. I
urge you to track our work and to attend the informational
workshops and meetings this fall on the development of
the budget.
Under the direction of one of our members, Georgietta
James, the Annual Review of SCA Charter Clubs is
complete. The reviews revealed that the presidents and
treasurers of the charter clubs are doing an excellent job of
operating within their by-laws and managing their
finances.
The Finance Committee needs new volunteers to serve
as committee members. If you have a background in
accounting and/or financial management, we would like
the opportunity to discuss with you how you can help us
support the Board of Directors in overseeing the financial
operations of SCA. If interested, please feel free to contract
me for more information.
All meetings of the Finance Committee are open to the
public. Residents are encouraged to attend our meetings
to better understand the financial operations of your
community. We welcome resident input at the meetings as
a way to both gather new ideas and to maintain contact
with community.

goals. Please feel free to contact us if you have a question
or need some help. We are one of the few standing
committees that have two regularly scheduled meetings
each month. Our workshop is the first Thursday. It is a
more casual format where we interact with residents who
are there to discuss an agenda item or address the
committee during public comment period. Agenda items
are only voted on at our formal meeting on the second
Friday. Our meetings are open to the community, and
our second meeting in April will be held Friday, April 13th
at 9:00 a.m.
We, members of the committee, appreciate the role of the
SCA Board of Directors in making our world go ‘round.
We urge all residents to participate in the upcoming Board
elections by reading the candidates’ flyers, attending the
debates and voting!
Committee Reports
PROPERTIES & GROUNDS
Next Meeting: April 10, 2012, 10:00 a.m.
Location: Arlington Room, Anthem Center
Stan Lenci, Chairperson, 702-953-5796
[email protected]
I have been asked to publish a portion of my Chairman’s
Report from our last P&G meeting to hopefully clarify the
Project/Item Request Form (PIRF) process for residents.
A PIRF is used to record a resident’s request to consider
the purchase or modification of an item to improve our
community. We have found that when the originator of a
PIRF hears P&G has approved their PIRF, there’s a belief
that it’s GOOD TO GO and there is nothing left to be done.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case. To clarify, there are
many steps in the PIRF process, but there are two Key
Milestones that must be met. Those two key Milestones
are:
1)
2)
PROJECT APPROVAL
FUNDING APPROVAL
PROJECT APPROVAL MILESTONE
This is where P&G decides if the Facilities Dept. should
expend unplanned time, manpower and resources to
define the scope of work and determine the dollars to
accomplish the PIRF request. I say unplanned as this is
additional effort and dollars not planned in the current
Budget. When P&G receives a PIRF for review, we
determine what I simply call the “3 V’s.”
Viability
Vetting
Volunteer Advocate
1st V - Is the project is VIABLE - Is it reasonable and of
sufficient benefit to the Association to expend time, effort,
resources and more importantly, dollars. If the committee
answer is “Yes,” we move on to the 2nd V.
2nd V - Should the project be VETTED?
Vetting is the process of obtaining P&G’s approval of the
Scope of Work and RFQ before issuance. Once that’s
decided, it time for the 3rd V.
3rd V - Is a VOLUNTEER advocate needed to provide
additional information for the project?
RESTAURANT ADVISORY
COMMITTEE (RAC)
Michal Wolf - Chairperson
E-Mail: [email protected]
Phone: 405-8133
The mission of the Restaurant Advisory Committee (RAC)
has been to act as a liaison between the restaurant/tenant,
the Board of Directors and the residents of Sun City
Anthem on matters relating to successful restaurant and
catering operations. The RAC has also been responsible for
overseeing the tenant's compliance with the terms of their
lease with the Association. Much of the work of our
committee is no longer required following the closing of
the Anthem View Restaurant late last year.
Now that the results of the 2011 Restaurant Survey have
been presented to the Board and they have decided to
pursue a leased premises business model, the RAC has
decided to temporarily suspend its meetings and activities
to allow the Restaurant Selection Task Group to find a
qualified and financially viable operator. As the number of
potential tenants is narrowed, the RAC expects to again
become involved in the restaurant selection process.
The Board of Directors and the Restaurant Selection Task
Group will continue to keep residents advised of their
progress in finding a new restaurant operator.
THE YES
MAN CAN!
Once P&G decides these 3 V’s, Facilities issues RFQ’s,
obtains bids and returns the results to P&G with a
recommendation for project execution. The completion of
the Project Approval Milestone comes when P&G accepts
RMI’s recommendation for the project. The request then
moves forward for Funding Approval Milestone.
FUNDING APPROVAL MILESTONE
This is a totally separate process that’s too lengthy to detail
today but in essence, this is where the Board allocates
funds for the project in the Capital Budget. This Budget is
presented to the residents for ratification sometime in the
fourth quarter of each year. Once the Budget is ratified, the
project has been fully approved and funded. The Facilities
Department is now authorized to proceed with the project.
That’s the abridged version of the PIRF process. I hope it
gives you a better understanding of the overall process.

At the 10th Anniversary Dinner of The Foundation
Assisting Seniors (formerly known as The Minuteman
Foundation,) our own Karl Bruner was named Person
of the Year 2011. Karl is a founding member of the
Community Service Club, serving as Co-Chair of the
Equipment Committee for over 10 years. As a
volunteer, we could not ask for a more dedicated and
caring man who is sensitive to the needs of others and
always willing to go above and beyond to offer help to
the residents of SCA.
Not only does Karl contribute an enormous amount of
time to CSC, he also uses his expertise in lighting and
sound to run those systems for the Activities Dept., the
Board of Directors, clubs and other performances in
Freedom Hall and Hanneman Hall. His wife, Mary,
another active volunteer, is often by his side to help
when possible but during a Board Meeting, you will
normally find Mary in the front row of Freedom Hall.
On occasion, Karl and Mary take a break from
volunteering and go on a much needed vacation.
Traveling is one of their passions.
After all these years of service, a man who expects no
accolades has finally been recognized for the
wonderful person he is. The CSC is so thankful Karl is
one of us!

Community Patrol
EMERGENCY –
911
Non-Emergency 311
SCACP - 614-6751
Your Community Patrol is staffed by dedicated volunteers who are “giving
back” to their community in a special way. By devoting many hours of their
time to this positive and rewarding effort, many members of the Patrol say
they are gratified in just helping residents feel safer in their homes and in
the community.
The primary function of the Community Patrol is to “observe and report” on
any suspicious or unsafe conditions. This can range from solicitors in our
posted “NO SOLICITING” community, or reports of suspicious individuals
or vehicles, to monitoring unsafe conditions, such as construction vehicles
blocking the road or vehicles parked on our sidewalks. Of course, we watchfor any situation that “just doesn’t look right.”
We document these activities in our logs and then pass along to the appropriate agencies or authorities.
In order for the Patrol to perform these activities, your HOA Board of Directors has provided uniforms and three marked
vehicles for patrol services. Drivers ideally patrol through our villages in four-hour shifts, 24-hours a day, seven days a
week. In addition to driving patrols, we have volunteers who walk their village streets, or bike through the various
villages, wearing specially marked, brightly colored patrol shirts or vests. We also work with the Henderson Police
Department on traffic and parking issues as well as the Neighborhood Watch Program.
To assist in our patrolling activities, a resident “reverse directory” form is available. This information helps our drivers to
quickly link an SCA address to a resident phone number. This helps prevent the driver from having to physically leave
the vehicle and knock on your door to inform you of an observed problem at your residence.
The Patrol provides a “house check” service for our residents. For three days up to a maximum of 90 days, we can walk
around your residence, usually from dawn until 12:00 p.m. These house checks are performed daily for 30 days, then once
a week for another 60 days. While Patrol members cannot enter a home when the resident is away, we will notify the
owner (or designee) of problem areas that may be found when we check your residence. So when you will be traveling
away from your home for three days or longer, consider signing up for this valuable service at the Patrol office.
For the year 2011, your Patrol members logged 21,393 volunteer hours! They checked on 566 open garage doors and 52
“911” lights, performed 17,430 individual house checks, issued 59 parking reminders, and drove 88,715 miles through our
communities in helping to provide a sense of well- being and service for our residents.
We need more dedicated volunteers for your Community Patrol! We have monthly general membership meetings and one or
two training sessions a year. Our annual awards breakfast and annual holiday party help recognize and “give back” to those members who themselves have given so much of their time and effort to this worthwhile endeavor. Come by the Community Patrol
office to pick up an application. Our office is located between the tennis courts and bocce ball courts. Call our office at 614-6751 for
additional information on all of our activities or visit the HOA website for additional information and forms.

Fitness Corner
By Meg Poulson
With the hustle and bustle of the holidays
behind you, now is a great time to explore a
new relaxation technique such as Yoga or
Meditation.
Yoga, translated as “to yoke” or “to join
together,” can be practiced in many different
ways. However, it typically involves stretching
exercises and different poses that incorporate
deep breathing and meditation. Many times,
Yoga poses are named after animals, such as
down dog, cobra, and cat. Traditional Yogis
actually recommend that you act like the specific animal while performing the pose to be in
the present moment.
Yoga as an activity is designed to stretch and
tone the muscles, while keeping the spine and
joints flexible. The deep, diaphragmatic breathing of yoga increases oxygen flow to the brain
while the bending, twisting, and stretching
movements are thought to massage internal
organs and glands. This self-massaging effect
can reduce pain and improve psychological
syndromes, musculoskeletal disorders, neurological disorders, and autoimmune and
immune syndromes.
Due to its relaxing and aerobic nature, Yoga has
been shown to decrease anxiety and stress
while increasing physiological performance. So
whether you’re looking for a relaxing activity,
one that will increase your heart rate, or both,
Yoga is an activity that may interest you. Try
our new Meditation class Monday at 3:00 p.m.
or Gentle Yoga Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday at 3:00 p.m. These classes are held at
the Independence Center.

Facilities/Landscaping
April
~ On April 2, 1513 Ponce De Leon sited and claimed a parcel of land in
Florida which is now St. Augustine, the oldest city in the Continental US.
Researchers do not really know how April got its name, but many believe it is from
the Latin word “aperire” which means to open. This theory stems from the idea that
traditionally is in the Northern Hemisphere. April is the month when the most varieties
of flowers have buds that begin to open. The Daffodil is a flower that blooms in April.
In Victorian times, the first Sunday in April was known as Daffodil Sunday. Families
would take Daffodils from their gardens for patients in local hospitals.
During the month of April, we will continue planting replacement plants where needed
and certainly many home gardeners will be doing the same. When purchasing new
vines, trees, shrubs, etc. it is very important to do a little research so you don’t end up
with a landscape item dying off in the first year it is planted. It is not at all uncommon
for our local nurseries to carry plants that do not adapt well to our extreme climate
conditions. Check the information on the plant tag to make sure it will hold up during
our freezing temperatures and high summer heat. It is also important to note the sun
and shade recommendations as they relate to the area you are planting.
If the plant you are thinking of buying does not have a tag on it, most nurseries have a counter with a
reference book on it where you can look up the plant by its name to find out what a suitable environment
is. These books include a section on Zones that have been mapped by the United States Department of
Agriculture describing the growing conditions throughout the United States, including the Las Vegas area. Of
course, you can also find a wealth of information on the Internet.
Please note, according to the mandatory watering restrictions provided by SNWA (Southern Nevada Water
Authority), during the month of April, irrigation may only be run on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Watering anytime other than the assigned days could result in a water-waste fee or citation.
The featured photo is of the newly refurbished monument located
on the golf course, which you view as you come uphill on Anthem
Parkway, coming from Las Vegas on your way to Anthem Center.
This monument was constructed when the Anthem Community
first opened up and over the years, letters had rusted through
and the background had become badly stained. So if you haven’t
noticed, take a drive-by and see how great the monument now
looks. There is also a turnout area at the bottom of the hill where
you can pull off Anthem Parkway and park your vehicle.
With the prime goal of keeping our community beautiful, I
regularly walk our grounds and interact with the crews from
three landscape companies that maintain our outdoor areas.
These areas include: the grounds around the Centers; SCA
streetscapes; desert ReVeg areas; the common areas and gate
maintenance in Pinnacle Village; the landscape around the
duplex homes and; rock drains within our Community.
If you have questions, comments or concerns
regarding any of our properties, please don’t hesitate to contact me at (702) 614-5814. We always welcome the
opportunity to answer you and due to my field work, your emails will usually receive the quickest response [email protected].
Thank you,
Christine Noble, Landscape Supervisor

teeth Eat. Smile. Kiss.
a conversation with Gregg C. Hendrickson DDS
about dental implants and implant supported dentures
Did you know that one in four senior
citizens are missing at least one tooth?
(Some are missing upwards of ten.)
Add in how many seniors are
dissatisfied with their dentures and I'll
bet that number increases to one in
three!
What Is the benefit of an Implant?
A single tooth implant is straight
forward. I am replacing a missing
tooth that might show when a person
smiles. They get their complete smile
back. No more covering their smile
with their hand when they talk or eat.
Many seniors have turned to Dental
Implants and Implant Supported
Dentures to solve their smile and
denture issues. I asked local dentist,
Gregg Hendrickson about implants.
What is the benefit of Implant
Supported Dentures?
A glamorous smile that you can eat
and talk with! Many times, clients are
either dissatisfied with their denture or
are missing enough teeth to want a
denture. We'll talk about giving them
a beautiful smile. We'll talk about
having teeth securely in their mouth
so their denture doesn't slosh around.
Through the process of restoring their
teeth we really are restoring their
confidence and their zest for life. They
can eat again, smile again, they can
even kiss again! For some people it's a
return to romance in their life.
Why Dental Implants?
Dental Implants can restore smiles to
a beautiful state. I can restore a single
tooth or your entire mouth. It just
depends on what a client wants to
achieve. Most clients want to have a
good looking smile, be able to eat
healthy and nutritious food and don't
want a denture flopping around in
their mouth. Implants can fix all of
those issues.
Tell me about Implant Supported Dentures.
My clients love these! Implant
supported dentures are essentially
dentures that snap or screw into
implants. If you choose the snap in
implant supported denture you can
take them in or out of your mouth. If
you choose the screw in Implant
supported denture they are
permanently attached to your
implants and only your dentist can
remove them. Both options are
fantastic. The snap in option will cost
you less than the screw in option.
What about these places offering
teeth in a day?
In my opinion, I wouldn't send my
friends or family there. When you put
an implant into bone, your bone needs
time to heal. Bone healing takes
anywhere from three to six months. It
is that simple. Your natural teeth
weren't made in a day and it is my
opinion that you shouldn't be having
surgery and replacement teeth all in a
day. It didn't take a day to lose your
teeth and I personally not comfortable
with any process that says you can
have them all back in a day.
advertisement
We are loving life!
What advice would you give to
people looking for implants?
Do your homework. Find out who
does implants in your area, and
schedule a consultation. Don't feel
pressured. Make sure you meet with
the dentist. How can treatment be
discussed if the dentist hasn't
bothered to look in your mouth!
Tell us why people should choose
your office.
Well, I'm pretty sure I am the best
dentist in Henderson! Honestly, my
dental team is just fabulous. We still
believe in customer service and do a
fantastic job at delivering that to our
clients. We are not a dental mill, we
offer implants from start to finish at
our office, we offer sedation so clients
won't feel a thing, our prices are very
reasonable, and we offer complimentary
consultations to discuss options and
answer any questions.

How To — Know your wills, trusts, deeds, marital
contracts, life insurance and annuities. Morbidity and
mortality issues are not just creative liabilities for you and
your family.
Can Do — Learn to do the right things in law and
economics when it comes to your money by knowing the
questions that you need to ask. Then learn to ‘Pro Se’ your
own solutions to probable negative issues and difficulties
in law, in economics and when it comes to your money,
your investments, your taxes and your estate and
financial health. The key to the club is knowledge,
learning right from wrong and making sure you know the
right questions to ask for your security and peace of mind.

OPERA
This month, we will be showing excerpts from the Opera
Gala held at the Baden- Baden Festival Theatre.
Two of the most exciting
and beautiful young
operatic voices currently
before the public, the
Russian soprano Anna
Natrebko and the Latvian
mezzo-soprano Elina
Garanca would have
guaranteed the greatest
possible musical
enjoyment. But a true
gala demands the four classic types of operatic voice:
soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor and baritone. So the lovely
duo became an imposing quartet with the addition of the
Mexican star tenor Ramon Vargas and his no less famous
baritone colleague from France, Ludovic Tezier.
Members, and their guests, will be entertained with the
showing of excerpts from various operas including
Norma, Don Carlo, Lakme and Rigoletto.
Our meeting this month will be held in Freedom Hall for
the first hour and then you are invited to gather in the
foyer for a social hour. Wine and cheese will be served to

RV
Continuing our thirst for adventure, the SCA RV Club
recently returned from an exciting trip to the Phoenix, AZ
area for a baseball Spring Training Rally. The first day
began with a welcome social hour, followed by a “potluck
dinner” and wonderful evening of fellowship. The next
day we toured historic Wickenburg and the Desert
Caballeros Western Museum followed by a visit to the
Vulture Gold Mine. On the following day, we enjoyed an
exciting baseball game at Camelback Ranch Stadium
between the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles
Dodgers. For those non-baseball fans, there was a visit to
the Scottsdale Arts Festival. As usual, every evening
included either a “potluck dinner” or a visit to a local
eatery.

Our April rally will be a “Tom Sawyer Adventure” on the
Colorado River which includes a smooth water raft trip,
cruising on the Lake and fishing. Future trips include San
Diego, Paso Robles wine country, Pismo Beach, Rocky Point,
Mexico, Santa Maria and Bishop/Mammoth Mountain in
California. Stay tuned!
Our meetings are held at 4:00 p.m. on the last Tuesday of
the month (except December, June and July) in the Penn

come to any of our meetings and see firsthand how much
fun we have or contact our Membership Chair Jack

The Scrabble “Word of the Day” is QUAGMIRE. This is a
soft boggy or marshy area that gives way underfoot. It can
also indicate a hazardous situation.
If you find yourself with a Z in your rack, look for an O
and an A. ZOA is the plural of ZOON and ZOON is the
whole product of one fertilized egg. Another way to take
advantage of the letter Z is with the word ZARF. A ZARF
is an ornamental metal cup holder. Unless one plays
Scrabble, why would one ever know this!
Now for some Scrabble trivia: The highest possible score,
theoretically, for a single play under American
tournament Scrabble rules is 1,778 points for joining
eight already-played tiles to form the word
OXYPHENBUTAZONE across three triple-word-score
squares, while simultaneously extending seven specific
already-played words to form new words. Now THAT
would truly be something about which to brag.
Now that you have finished
shed your taxes,
why don’t you stop by the
sewing room located in the
Gallery of the Anthem
Center and see what we
are doing. Our crafty
ladies have been busy
making wonderful items
that are great for gifts or for a
special treat just for you. We have wonderful place mats,
napkins, ragtime quilts, aprons, microwave mitts,
potholders and much more. We also have a whole array of
clothes and cute accessories for any eighteen inch doll,
including the American Girl doll. Please come in and
check out our shop. These items are well made and
reasonably priced.
Our club offers many classes and we have many great
members who are willing to teach you how to sew, knit,
crochet, embroider and serge. We have several shared
interest groups and we love sharing our passion for
sewing, quilting, serging, knitting and crocheting. We
would love to meet you so please come and check us out
and make some new friends. You can also read all about us
on our website, www. scasaq.org.
The Scrabble Plus Club meets each Friday afternoon from
1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. in the Emerson/Franklin Room at

to join us as a guest for a friendly game of Scrabble. If you

to the good old national pastime of baseball! Helmets,
running shoes and big round balls get put away and cleats,
gloves and bats make their appearance. I think we can all
remember back to a time when we played little league,
high school or even just pick-up games with our friends.
Many of us actually MISS those times, but with age comes
many responsibilities. Family takes the main focus and we
simply have too many things to do!
Guess what. There is a bunch of folks that MAKE time for
a little exercise and camaraderie. That would be us,
Anthem Senior Softball! We are a bunch of people, some
retired, some not, who put a few hours aside twice a week
to get some exercise and relive the joy that playing
baseball affords us!
There only prerequisite is that you are 50 years old. That's
it! We meet twice a week on Tuesday and Friday morning
at Anthem Hills Park. Off of Reunion Rd., just east of
Anthem Hills Parkway, right behind the Del Webb School.
The cool part of it is that we welcome either gender. Yes
sir, both men and women can play. Now a few of you are
probably saying well, I'm not sure if I can actually STILL
play! Well, we will let you come out and join us 3 times
before you have to join the club. This way, you can try a
few games to see if everything still works correctly and
that you don't have to soak yourself in Ben Gay and
Bio-Freeze for hours on end. If you decide to join our club,
the dues are only $35 for the entire year. That's roughly
less than .33 cents a game! Such a bargain!!!!! Plus, we have
a really great yearly party, complete with a scrumptious
dinner, great entertainment and lots of fun awards!
Our starting time varies during the year to accommodate
the weather. During the winter, we are out there at 9:30
a.m. with a little practice to limber up and then the game is
at 10:00 a.m. We supply almost everything that you need;
fields, bats, bases, pitching screens, balls and even ice
packs for those annoying occasional sprains. All you need
to bring is a glove and possibly a pair of cleats. We even
use pinch runners if someone can't run very well! The level
of how well we all play varies from member to member
but the over-riding fact is that we all LOVE coming to the
field twice a week. Some folks can hit the ball over the
fence; some can't hit at all, but the bottom line is....We are
out there having fun and enjoying the camaraderie that
playing ball affords us! So if you “wanna have fun”, enjoy
the wonderful weather, get some exercise and meet some
neat, cool people, come out and join us....You'll be glad
you did!
For more info, call our President John Paul Molfetta at
702-361-4572........
Anthem residents of all abilities are welcome to join
the Table Tennis Club. Table Tennis is a great sport for
all individuals who want to improve their hand-eye
coordination while having fun. Dr. Daniel Amen, a brain
researcher, published the book, “Making A Good Brain
Great.” In that book Dr. Amen indicates that Table Tennis
is the very best sport to improve one's brain.
Club members have access to a Table Tennis ball machine
(robot) that can help players improve their skills and work
on a multitude of different strokes at different speeds.
Several volunteers have been trained on how to set up the
club robot for others. Yearly dues, which are only $5, are
used to maintain our equipment and purchase new or
needed items.
The date for the next “SAM” Cup Tournament between the
Summerlin, Anthem and MacDonald Ranch Table Tennis
Clubs will be announced shortly. This tournament will
have a round robin mixed doubles competition with local
Anthem club elimination rounds to allow all potential
teams to participate.
In the last six months, our Player Development Program
held presentations and workshops on “Improving
Your Table Tennis Skills,” “Beginner's Basics,” “Serving,”
“Return of Serves” and “Footwork.” Future seminars and
workshops will be developed based on club players'
requests.
In February, we created a singles challenge board. This
allows members who want to play more singles to
challenge higher seated players. Any club member can be
added to the singles challenge board by contacting Rich
Giroux.
The Henderson Senior Games Table Tennis events will be
held on Saturday, April 14th and Sunday April 15th. Any
club member who would like to be added to an email
distribution list so that they can be notified of any local
tournament or events should email Rich Giroux at
[email protected].
Contact Wes McGlaughlin at 873-7083

for more information.

In league tennis news, we have
the following great news to
report. First, at this writing,
three of five senior USTA

3rd -5th at the Darling Tennis
Center. These are the SW 3.0,
Linda Joven, Captain; SW 3.5
team, Linda Jones, Captain;
and SM 3.5, Ken Merkey,
Captain. By the time this is
published, we will know which of these teams – hopefully
all three – have made it into the playoffs. Second, by the
time you read this, we will also know the results of the
District Championship Playoffs from the Super Senior
Teams captained by Josie Baker and Pam Cox, who will
have competed at the Darling Tennis Center in early

are in progress for the spring season. No league
participation is expected during the summer months. For
more information about league play coming up in the fall
or next winter and spring, please contact Josie Baker at

The club is seeking a new webmaster for its website.
Training will be provided by the previous webmaster,
