We are nding that many of our newest residents do not know about the activity card. In fact, there are many homes that we show have new owners, who have not picked up their Sue Papilion, SCSCAI activity cards, so this article is for them. Executive Director [email protected] When your home sale is recorded with Clark County, it usually takes our membership department two weeks to get notice of the change in ownership. At that point, our staff is ready to issue your activity card. Your rst step is to come into the Administration office at Mountain Shadows community center and sign up for a simple orientation. e Activity Card that’s issued will have your resident account number and allows you access to the tness centers, swimming pools, tness classes, clubs and if you play golf, earns you special resident rates and 20 percent off everything in the pro shops. You also will receive the Link Magazine. So, it is worth the time to take orientation. At orientation, you will meet other new residents, see a computer presentation of where to nd the answers to questions you may have about remodeling, painting, landscaping, pool rules and lots of other things. Golf gives you two free coupons to play any of the courses, and you will receive an invitation to the New Residents Social, which is basically a meet-and-greet with appetizers and wine. e social takes place on the last Tuesday of the month at the Pinnacle community center and is hosted by the Board of Directors. e event is so popular that several old-timers come to meet and help new residents, too. Since so many residents today are working, Sun City will begin to keep the administrative office open until 7 p.m. on ursday nights, starting this month. And soon one of our tness centers and swimming pools will stay open until 10 p.m. Having new residents in Sun City Summerlin is good for the community, for property values and activity involvement. We all need to go out of our way to welcome new neighbors and new potential members to our clubs.

D P B h d S w p i p d w r e A t c w s t s p e t c t r s a i l h S i m u President’s Message Will Sun City Summerlin See Changes by 2020? In mid-June a forecasting seminar was held for the Board of Directors and interested residents of Sun City. It was scheduled because we feel David Steinman, President, SCSCAI that changing with the times is so Board of Directors important for Sun City to keep pace with the new residents who purchase homes in ourcommunity. ese new residents have different needs and interests from those who moved into Sun City during the late 1980s and early 1990s. A person who came to Sun City in 1990 did not regularly use computers, Wi-Fi, cell phones and ipads unlike our new moveins of 2015. It has been 26 years since the rst residents purchased homes in Sun City and the world has produced a very different way to communicate since then. We have learned that tness is extremely popular with the residents of our community. A question that resulted from the seminar was, “Do we have the most efficient exercise machines in our tness centers?” Another targeted if we are offering the classes that today’s residents need. Over the next several months, you may see some changes to our programs. We will do this because we want the value of living in Sun City to be appealing to seniors looking for a new retirement community. Currently, Sun City Summerlin has about 80 organizations and clubs. As we gain new residents, we will possibly see the creation of new clubs based upon the needs of people who live in a different world than the one that existed in 1990. One of the big challenges of our community will be the factor of residents living longer and the high cost of care for those with serious medical issues. Seniors are trying to stay longer in their independent living environments. is produces a constant need for senior services or private citizens to care for these residents and make sure they live in a safe place and their health is satisfactory. As we age in place and avoid the high cost of assisted living and long-term nursing care, our community will have to react to this change in the lives of our residents. Sure, we are going to have the “young” seniors moving into our beautiful community, but we always have to be mindful of the “older” senior who elects to remain with us during his or her years of greater challenge. Top, technology and websites was a hot topic during a resident workshop held in June. The event, which was open to all residents, focused on keeping amenities on pace with the next generation of Sun City home buyers. Over the next several months, you may see some changes to our programs. We will do this because we want the value of living in Sun City to be appealing to seniors looking for a new retirement community.

Kristie McWhorter, Staying hydrated is extremely MS, CPT, GFI, important; water is used by your Director of Fitness body to perform almost every major [email protected] [email protected] function. For example, your body uses water to transport nutrients and oxygen to cells; regulate your body temperature; moisten mouth, eye and nose tissues; protect organs and tissues; lubricate joints; and ush out waste products. Without proper hydration, the body’s normal functions can become seriously inhibited. Dehydration occurs when liquid is replaced at a slower rate than it is being used up by the body. Common causes are diarrhea, vomiting and sweating. Early symptoms include dry mouth, the inability to produce tears or sweat, muscle cramping and lightheadedness. At its worst, dehydration can be life-threatening. We are half way through our hot summer and it is important to have extra water in situations that involve physical activity. It’s also a good idea to avoid outdoor exposure and limit physical activity when it’s particularly hot or humid outside. Pay close attention to physical cues (thirst, dizziness, headache), which might indicate your uid levels are getting low. Keep drinking water close at hand during these hot summer months to stay hydrated and healthy!

What's safe for you is safe for others. A gym is a placee with lots of opportunity to get hurt, and we can put not only ourselves, but others at risk for injury. Some simple tips to keep safe while working out include: 1. Use the equipment the way it was designed to be used. Example? A treadmill is designed for walking and running, not for doing weight lifting. Hand weights can become missiles and ankle weights can come unstrapped and cause a trip hazard. 2. Keep the floor clear. Never leave bags, towels, hand weights or plates on the floor, even if you are doing circuits. Those extra steps between you and the rack or the locker count as cardio! 3. Know and admit your limits. Anyone can experience declines in balance, vision or strength for many reasons. Ignoring these problems is like an accident waiting to happen. Don't self-treat. Have the courage to admit you need some help if you are experiencing some physical problems.

C S A m y c m m S y u i s e o w p o Charli’s Corner Slow Down, You Move Too Fast, You’ve Got to Make Your Muscles Last Have you heard of the terms “full range of motion” or “R-O-M,” pertaining to exercises in the weight room? Range-of-motion exercise refers to activity aimed at improving Charli Sue Douglass movement of a speci c joint, and it SCSCAI Fitness allows muscles acting on the joint to Assistant, CPFT, GFI become stronger. Having stronger muscles means you have more stamina to do the activities you enjoy doing, like walking, tennis, golf, dancing, tness classes, swimming and strength training. I often see residents performing only short range-ofmotion exercises, which can cause your joint action or movement to shorten, causing more stiffness in your joints. Short range-of-motion exercises will ultimately decrease your overall muscle strength and functionality, setting you up for more injuries down the road. A safe and effective strength-training program needs to include full range-of-motion exercises for two out of three sets going at a slow, controlled pace (2 or more seconds in each direction). If you would like a little more intensity, add one set of pulsing or short R-O-M exercises. Doing this will allow your muscles to work all muscle bers to their proper length, and you will gain greater muscle strength over time. link Sun City Summerlin’s Online Magazine KEEPING SUN CITY SUMMERLIN CONNECTED The Link to the Link: www.suncitylink.com l THIS WEEK IN SUN CITY: Find out what's happening in your community with weekly news and event updates. l EYE ON SCSCAI: Enjoy slideshows and videos that capture activities Sun City Summerlin residents are up to. l CLASSIFIEDS CORNER: Place your ad today, sell your item tomorrow.

Not enough to simply enjoy them as they whizz by, many of us feel the need to participate in their visits, concocting sugary solutions that make us feel like we’re doing our part to keep the tiny hummingbirds nourished. “ ey don’t like the red sugar you buy at the store,” said Sun City resident Charlotte Moravec, describing the amount of sugar and water that goes into her special recipe that entices hummingbirds back year after year. “I have always had feeders in the back yard, and now I have a hummingbird feeder in my front yard,” she said after her husband, Charles, noticed that his favorite wind chime had become a twig-themed nursery for a mama hummer. “I worked for Harley-Davidson for 43 years as a tool and dye maker in Milwaukee,” said Charles, who collects all things motorcycle.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT: Sun City Charities, Inc. A Helping Hand When You Need One Located at the rear of the Desert Vista parking lot, at 10362 Sun City Blvd., is a very important building staffed entirely by resident volunteers. According to new President Mike Lee, the organization provides help to Sun City residents seeking to contact government services; helps with running errands; offers rides to the supermarket and doctor’s office; and works with handy men who change lightbulbs, smoke detector batteries and more. While Mike explained there are no formal charges for these services, Charities does appreciate a donation to help cover its operating costs. Talking about his volunteers, Mike said the handy men are invaluable, but they are getting older and he would like to see others step up to help with his group’s growing needs. Handy With a Hammer Gordon Fast is one of Charities’ volunteers, who is a selftaught handyman. He has lived in Sun City Summerlin for two and a half years and enjoys being a volunteer handyman because it is “a labor of love that gives me a good feeling to help people,” Gordon said. “I can do it when others can’t. If you feel like you want to help people, please join us!” Dave McConnell is another volunteer handymen who moved to Sun City last November. “I have been a handyman most of my life. I was a professional handyman in Pennsylvania for 10 years. I gained some of my knowledge by working in a tool mill. I think that this is a great service because it gives people someone they can trust and not be ripped off. So far, everyone I’ve met has been extremely nice, and the people I have helped have just been very grateful for the work. It gives you a great feeling. The last lady I worked for said, ‘You just made my day!’ ” Aside from these gentlemen, there are countless satisfied clients who want others to know what an asset Charities’ volunteers are to Sun City. Cerna Kalen just loves the handymen. “They are very friendly and helpful,” she said. “They will do light jobs like change lightbulbs, which I cannot reach, change the smoke detector batteries and move a heavy box.” Another resident, Edie Klar, said, “I’m just very grateful for the wonderful program that is offered. I've had to call them several times for transportation to get me to a medical procedure and, in the seven-and-a-half years I’ve been a widow, these people have been invaluable to my survival. The handymen have helped me get things done that I had always relied upon my husband to do. I don’t know where I’d be without them!” If you would like to add your name to the Charities’ handyman list or have questions about the organization, call 254-5831. ~ Stu Gershon/Link Gordon Fast, top, and Dave McConnell enjoy helping their neighbors as volunteers for the Sun City Charities.
