If I do not continue, I’d like to take this
opportunity to express my most sincere
appreciation for allowing me to represent our
community. It has been a very exciting year;
and quite frankly, I never expected to be so
involved in the decision-making necessary to
run a large HOA. I am proud and honored to have been of service and hope
that you feel that my efforts have made a positive difference. Should someone
else become your President, I will continue, to the best of my ability, to add
value to the Board of Directors and, thereby, our whole community

BOARD MEMBER MESSAGE
I have chosen the theme “It takes a village”
to run Sun City Aliante. Just what does
this mean, especially as we have a wellfunctioning Board of Directors and we
are also paying management (namely
FirstService Residential) to keep our
property values high and our community
looking beautiful. It means a cooperative
effort between management, the Board of
Directors, committee chairs and all those
committee volunteers who attend meetings
monthly to help with the process along the way.
What makes a strong community leader? I have five answers, and
you only need one of these to qualify as a potential volunteer – a true
community leader to help manage the village.
1. Passion – Many of those that serve on a committee are
passionate about their community and the committee. They
come in with enthusiasm and a desire to help, but they just
do not want to make the commitment to serve in a board
position and feel the pressure of attending educational
classes, so they opt for the committee instead.
2. Knowledge – Many of those serving on a committee have a
wealth of knowledge that they can bring to that committee.
Perhaps, they were in the landscape business and served on
the property and grounds committee; or maybe they were a
banker and have a wealth of knowledge about investments,
budgets and keeping assessments stable. Perhaps, none of

Dear Residents:
They say June is the first month for
a new growing season. We till the
soil; we plant the seeds; and then
we sit back and hope, while Mother
Nature does the rest. From our flowers
out front to our gardens and lawns,
summer is a time when we expect
and see many changes. Our lives
often assimilate change much like the
seasons.
It is with a heavy heart that I share
with you that June’s issue of The Breeze will be my final publication.
As many of you know, I came to you from an entertainment
background. Over the years that I have been with you at Sun City
Aliante, I have tried to continue producing shows, not only for our
residents, but also for charity and other theater groups.
WWWWWW. .S SC CA AL LN NL LV V. .C CO OMM - - T TH HE E B BR RE EE EZ ZE E
Over the past couple of years, I have worked with two gals in Los
Angeles to produce a show that landed on the Sunset Strip in
2014. I also secured a contract for the show at the Tropicana Las
Vegas. During my last trip to LA, the girls offered me a producing
partnership in a new company that they were forming. I have
accepted.
My heart is heavy and my mind is torn about leaving. I have met
and become fond of so many of the wonderful residents at Sun City
Aliante. I have laughed with you and cried for you, as you have for
me and my own. I shall never forget how you took me in and made
me a part of your family. It has been an honor and a privilege to
work for you over the past six years.
Also, I can’t say enough about our incredible the Board of Directors.
It has been a pleasure to work with them all over the years. Your
current President, Warren Geller, is an esteemed individual.
I have also cherished my incredible staff. My assistant, Trish
Williamson, has worked hand-in-hand with me on The Breeze ;and
together, we dressed tables in time to produce fun-filled events for
the community. Lori, Carol, Elaine, Irene, Jan, Fran and Pat, I will miss
our giggles and time together. You are the ambassadors of SCAL,
and you make us proud.
Virginia, Juan, Cathie, Sharon, Angel, Jose, Miguel and Adrian – we
are a family of friends. Arnie, you are a treasure! You are revered by
all and have taught me many a lesson that I will value and rely on
during my journey.
As seasons change, so does life. During the next few months, I
will be working harder than ever before to create a successful
production (Cherry Boom Boom) that I hope you will come and
appreciate with me. My harvest will be the happiness that I can
bring to others through our creativity. We have compiled an awardwinning team of which I am proud. It’s going to be sexy; and it’s
going to be rock ‘n’ roll. If there is anything you should know about
me by now, expect the unexpected for we are going to rewrite some
new genre expectations. We never get older, just better!
I won’t be a stranger, and I look forward to seeing you now and
then. Enjoy your community, say thanks to all the hard workers who
provide so much and make it seem so effortless for the community.
I personally want to thank you all again for all of your kindness and
support through the years.
Love you all. You are in my heart always.

COMMUNITY STANDARDS
Are you thinking about sprucing up the outside of your home with
a new coat of paint? Just stop by the Customer Service Office and
sign out a new and improved paint book. We have a total of 10 color
schemes in this community. If you plan to paint your home the same
color, no approval is needed; however, if you are thinking about
changing the color, you will need to fill out an ARC application for
approval. Don’t forget to check your wrought iron fencing, which is
painted Aliante Grey Beige and shall be maintained in accordance with
good maintenance practices to avoid the appearance of rust. We have
the approved special color formula on file for fencing; if you need a
copy, just ask.
The results are in! On May 11, a total of 662 ballots were counted
and four seats were filled on the Sun City Aliante Board of Directors
for two-year terms. Congratulations to Judith Hanson and Mark
Smith on their re-election for a two-year term to the Sun City Aliante
Board of Directors and congratulations to Harry Reinhart and Mark
Towers for their first two-year term on the Board. The Board of

It’s almost summertime in Sun City Aliante,
and you should make sure the drip system in
your yard is in tip-top shape in preparation
for the hot weather. A drip irrigation system
won’t be effective or efficient without correct
water pressure and tubing length. It’s
important to understand how many emitters
a system can support, proper spacing and if
you can combine different types. A stopped
line or plugged emitter can shut down a
drip irrigation system. Flush the lines to
clear debris after installation and before you
begin using the system in the spring. Flush the system and clean filters
regularly, especially if your water supply contains a lot of minerals.

Motion sensing security light fixtures are very popular and can greatly
improve safety and visibility around your home. The security light
can be either a single or double light fixture with recommended 75
to 100 watt bulbs. The light fixture will be adjusted so it does not
detect motion outside the perimeter of one’s property. It’s always
recommended to get approval before you purchase; just bring in
a picture of the fixture and tell us the wattage you plan to use and
the color of the fixture. Remember no black fixtures, but bronze is
acceptable. Remember that we are happy to help with the application.
Time to replace your flag? If you are flying a flag that is faded, torn or
tattered, then the answer is “yes;” you will need to replace it.
Please remember trash cans should not be placed at the curb earlier
than 6 p.m. on Monday night, and then taken off the street and put
away no later than 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
Turn in ARC applications by the end of business day on the Wednesday
prior to the ARC meeting. This will allow time for all of the applications
to go to the ARC Review Session and for homeowners to provide any
additional information necessary for the ARC committee to make
decisions. All applications turned in after the cut off time will be
submitted to the next ARC meeting. The ARC has two meetings a
month for your convenience, so you will be able to get your project
started in no time.
Once your application is approved you will have 90 days to complete
the project and, at that time, your project will be inspected by the
committee. If you just have questions, we invite you to stop by the
ARC Review Session that is scheduled the Thursday prior to each ARC
meeting when the committee is available to answer your questions
about projects that you are thinking about doing. ARC meetings for
this month are June 10 and June 24.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
The Sun City Aliante Neighborhood Watch
program consists of a Coordinator (myself)
and more than 50 Block Captains, your
neighbors who have volunteered to be the
“eyes and ears” of our community.
Now that you know what Neighborhood Watch is about; perhaps, you’d
like to become a member. We always need more Block Captains and
Volunteers to patrol. If you are interested, please call me.

You Can Still Protect Your Assets
Your accumulated assets are subject to a lot of different risks during
your retirement years. So, you have to protect these assets. Some
people do a good job of protecting against market downturns,
increasing tax rates and many other risks. Unfortunately though, many
people don’t believe they can anymore or fail to protect their assets
against one of the biggest risks which is a long-term care illness.
This can be a major problem, especially after looking at these
common statistics from various sources including longtermcare.org:
• Today, someone turning age 65 has almost a 70% chance of
needing some type of long-term care service and support in their
remaining years.
• The average nursing home stay is 2.44 years or 892 days.
• The median annual rate of a semi-private room in a nursing home
is now $77,380.
• On average, long-term care costs are increasing by more than 10%
each year.
When you add all that up, it is not surprising that a long term care
illness, which is not covered by Medicare or private health insurance,
very well could severely hurt or wipe out many people’s assets very
quickly. Additionally, with older Americans entering assisted living
facilities at an unprecedented pace, it is clear that they will incur
more long-term care costs throughout their lifetimes.
So what can you do? Fortunately, there are several options. Feel free
to reach out to us to learn of the many different ways to protect your
assets from a likely long-term care illness. We can be reached at
702-462-7233 or via email at [email protected]

Let’s talk about open garage doors. If there is no car in the garage and
the garage door is open, it is an open target for a burglar. If we cannot
locate you, we may have to call the police to check your home to see if it
has already been burglarized. Please, take a minute to be sure your garage
door is shut before you drive off, whether you’re just going to the market
or on a trip.

Several years ago Neighborhood Watch started a volunteer patrol program.
It was an extension of Sun City Aliante Neighborhood Watch. With this very
successful tool, we brought Neighborhood Watch to the whole community.
Our patrol program is made up of approximately 25 to 30 Block Captains
and approximately 20 Volunteers. To become a Block Captain, you must
pass a background check and be fingerprinted. Recently, we asked our
volunteers to also undergo a background check. This just assures that
they are held to the same standards as Block Captains. The patrol is out
on the streets most days from 7 a.m.to midnight. We are not looking for
HOA compliance issues as this is not our job. Our job is to look out for your
safety.

The success of Neighborhood Watch
depends on neighbors who are alert and
communicate with each other. Block
Captains support the Coordinator by communicating with approximately
15-20 homes in their immediate area. It is their duty to keep in contact
by email, phone or in person to alert them of things going on in the
community. They might also look after your home if you go away for
a short time. Basically, it’s just being a good neighbor. Fifty (50) Block
Captains may sound like a lot; but when you consider we have more than
2,000 homes in Sun City Aliante, you realize many homes are without a
Block Captain.

Frankly, I am just happy that she is having fun, while she is holding
it. I look forward to playing this game with her and my wife for many
decades to come (good lord willing). It is amazing to think about the
bond that this game creates within participants. Sons, daughters,
moms, dads, grandparents and friends all bonded together for a few
hours trying to get a silly little ball into a hole.
Can you imagine trying to explain this game to someone who had
never seen or heard of it? “Ok, so you have this ball that is about an
inch and a half wide, and you stand about 400 yards away from a
hole in the ground that is about four and a half inches wide; and you
hit the ball until you make it in the hole.” This would seem like such
insanity, and it can be, but what a strong bond it creates between
participants who persevere and keep playing.
When it comes to your to-do
list, put your future first.
I see parents and grandparents
bringing their kids and grandkids
to the course every day and the
kids have no idea how awesome
and lasting those memories
will be. We all have our early
memories of this game. My wife
remembers her grandpa teaching
her to putt, and watching Arnold
Palmer with him on the old
“rabbit ears.” Later, it was her
dad taking her to the driving range, when she was in high school
and Watson and Nicklaus on the tube. Now she is married to a “PGA
monkey,” and it’s Speith on the flat screen. In honor of Father’s Day,
thank you to all the grandpas, fathers and new dads who continue
sharing the love of the game with the next generation. Be grateful,
be present and be fun.
I look forward to seeing you on the practice tee at Aliante Golf
Club, and I look forward 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,

Understanding Functional Nutrition
Functional Nutrition is how the body heals. EveryBODY heals
differently and has different nutritional requirements. Ever wonder
why taking certain supplements or medications do not “fix” you; or
when you purchase something recommended by a clerk, it doesn’t
seem to make a difference in how you feel.
Certain bodies need certain nutrients, and not all bodies are the
same. It’s called Biochemical Individuality. Taking the proper
amounts of a certain quality, quantity and specific type of nutrients
can have positive effects on our health.
Proper Function and Nutrition can change the following health
issues: Chronic Fatigue, Sleep Disorders, Digestive Issues, Thyroid,
Fibromyalgia, Weight Issues, Diabetes, Cholesterol Imbalances,
Depression/Anxiety, Headaches.
All supplements and food are not created equal. Know what is in
your brand of supplements/vitamins. Bring yours; we’ll discuss how
you can improve your health.
Wendy Nickell, certified natural health practitioner, nutrition
therapist, clinical researcher and SCAL resident, invites you to bring
your concerns about health/nutrition. Lunch will be served after the

investment for the long-term and focus on what you can control.
If you have such symptoms
as burning chest pain (called
heartburn) more than twice a week, you might have acid reflex
disease, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Common risk factors for acid reflux include: eating large meals or
lying down right after a meal, being overweight, snacking too close
to bedtime, eating spicy or fatty foods and more.

Carole King and Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil, including “I Feel The Earth
Move,”“One Fine Day,”“(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,”

When Leon Patillo was singing with the Latin
rock ‘n’ roll group, Santana, he would look
out into the vast crowds of nameless, faceless
people filling the auditorium—some coming
just to party, some to be entertained, and
some because it was the concert to attend.
But others, Leon felt, were coming with heavy
hearts, questioning their lives and searching
for answers. At the height of his pop career with Santana, Leon left
the group with a burning desire to satisfy those hungering hearts
with music that would make a difference in their lives.
After leaving Santana, he launched a solo career with Word Records
and became a one-man-band, where he put together a dazzling,
computerized show. He released a string of successful albums and
performed in different arenas and coliseums all over the world, and
he had his own television show on TBN called “Leon and Friends.”
Leon sees himself as an encourager—a vessel chosen, to bring joy
into the hearts of many people. His concerts are always filled with
excitement, humor and inspirational teaching. He crosses all age
groups and ethnic boundaries and is a total performer who can sing,
dance and motivate.
For many years, he has used his voice, motivating gifts and music for
concerts, radio and TV hosting, and he has had amazing success and
visibility with gold and platinum albums.
From 1999-2011, Leon travelled with Get Motivated Seminars where
he performed on stage with such personalities as Zig Ziglar, Mayor
Giuliani, Laura Bush, Colin Powell and other notable speakers.
In 2012, Leon moved to Las Vegas and started a youth foundation
called S.I.N.G. – Sowing Into Next Generation, whose goal is to bring
positive inspiration to a mostly negatively influenced age group.
Leon continues to travel all over the country to inspire, encourage
and bring joy to many people through concerts and speaking
engagements at different churches, festivals, special functions,
fundraisers and conferences. For more information about the
foundation and its projects, go to www.mrleon.org.

Safety has always been a big concern for our residents and our Board
of Directors. It is not only safety from fast moving vehicles, but safety
at home, and here I go, preaching to the choir once again….close those
garage doors. No one in the community wants to see your trash and/
or your possessions. We have a fantastic Neighborhood Watch Program
with block captains who are informed about changes to vehicle laws
and have the ear of the police department and the City of North Las
Vegas.
Normally meetings are once a month and can last from 30 minutes to
two hours. We try to limit all of our meetings to one hour, but there are
times, this rule gets broken.
Have I wet your appetite to get involved? If so, I look forward to seeing
you submit that all-important application to become a member of a
committee. I also look forward to seeing you at one of our next board
meetings. Remember, board meetings are in the Vista Room at 7 p.m.

trying to run a meeting and have the meeting finish at an
appropriate time.
The Covent’s Committee follows right behind Finance in terms
of its importance to a Board of Directors. They set policy for fines,
foreclosures, and violations. Often the persons serving on this
committee are the most “hated” within the community. They are also
the one committee sworn to uphold privacy of complaints, fines and
the people involved. Well-manicured communities would not be
possible without their help. This committee saves the Board hours
of deliberation, as they have done all reviews within the Committee
meeting.
The Property and Grounds Committee is one of the more active
committees in SCAL. They are tasked with comparing RFP’s. They make
recommendations on landscaping changes, fitness equipment, etc.
Without their expertise and the time they take to interview vendors,
compare the rfp’s, etc., your Board of Directors would be caught in a
never ending battle to get things done effectively and efficiently at a
cost that keeps our assessments stable.
The Lifestyle Committee, as its name implies, is responsible for
making sure clubs function properly and meet the Club Guidelines. We
have a well-organized committee. Each committee member brings
something unique to the table.
The Finance Committee is challenged with making sure the financials
are complete and accurate every month. They recommend investment
decisions. They are responsible for looking over certain contracts
– landscape, management, and the reserve study. This committee
requires a dedicated team who do not have to be bankers to make
important decisions. Without their help, the Board, namely the
treasurer and the president, would have a huge task at hand reviewing
documents and making the proper decisions.

maintaining order within the community. They make changes to

Lynn Rocks Her Way to the Top/Trop
(Tropicana) with Cherry Boom
Boom Live
-
T H E
B R E E Z E
Dear Friends:
I have something very special to share with you. Our
own “Queen of Fun,” Lynn Garlock-Wright, is leaving
Sun City Aliante, after serving six years as director of
Activities & Fitness, to launch a brand new show on
the legendary Las Vegas Strip in fall 2016. Her show,
Cherry Boom Boom, is an awe-inspiring, immersive,
engaging and interactive experience with a fresh,
new and masterful mix of amplified choreography.
Produced by a triple threat of super-talented “badass
broads,” Lindsley Robin Allen (creator/director and
choreographer), Shana Betz (producer), and Lynn Garlock Wright, (producer
and operations director) will lead through their newly-minted CBB Live
Productions. Associate Director, Carla Kama, an industry veteran who has
worked on productions for Madonna, Steven Tyler, Michael Jackson and
others, will join the trio. Currently in preproduction, Cherry Boom Boom will
be staged at the Tropicana Las Vegas, showing nightly.
The trio, who founded CBB Live Productions for this show through private
financing, inked the deal at the Tropicana Las Vegas with an opening night
slated for September 8. Advance ticket sales will begin in August. Previews
will run from September 8 through 19.
Packing a powerful punch, Cherry Boom Boom is the ultimate playground for
sex, music, love and rock-n-roll. Strong and sultry enough for a man; smart and
sassy enough for a woman. The movement and music will have heads banging
and hips swinging all night long. Guaranteed.

our “Queen of Fun,” and we can’t wait see her soon at the show.
Second
Opinions
According to Lynn, director of operations and the third producing partner, “We
are thrilled to be at the iconic Tropicana Las Vegas this fall. While it was no small
feat to bring to stage a new, immersive show like this to Las Vegas, management
believed in the mission and movement behind Cherry Boom Boom.”
Cherry Boom Boom is leading a movement about empowerment for strong,
sexy women – with a great storyline threaded throughout a visceral rock-n-roll
performance– so it is only appropriate it started with three women rocking
their way to the Trop.

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.
B R E E Z E
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.**

The Sun City Aliante Songsters “60s Rewind Concert” was held in the
Vista Ballroom.
The evenings were “out of sight!” The Sun City Aliante Songsters
performed their “60s Rewind Concert” on Friday, April 15 and
Saturday, April 16, 2016 in the Vista Ballroom.
Under the direction of Judy
Shields, they sang a variety
of songs from the 1960s.
Included was a comical
version of “Downtown” (Las
Vegas Style) with the words
rewritten by the Songster’s
pianist Jane Mehta. In
their festive 60s fashion,
the choir sang “Stand by
Me,” “Aquarius,” Elvis’ “Come on Everybody,” “California Dreamin’,” The
Beatles “Yesterday,” “Surfin USA,” with Matt Snow singing and walking
the room and “surfing” on a boogie board… and many other iconic
songs. The audience participated by assisting the Songsters with
Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline”… singing the bum, bum, bum’s,
doo doo doo’s and so good, so good, so good! The audience did a
wonderful job learning and singing Peter, Paul and Mary’s “Oh, Rock
My Soul,” led by percussionist/guitarist Rod Stark. The finale was
Neil Diamond’s “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother,” with the Songsters
singing the ending with their arms around each other.
The Aliante Treble Makers (ATMs – a cappella group of six Songster
members) performed five songs, including “California Dreamin’” a
medley of “Johnny Angel,” “It’s My Party,” and “I Only Want to Be with
You,” “I’ll Be There by the Jackson 5,” Simon and Garfunkel’s “The
Sound of Silence,” and John Lennon’s “Imagine.” They veered from
their usual a cappella style to fit the era and were accompanied by
Jane Mehta on the piano.
The Songsters’ men had the
spotlight while singing “My
Girl” and the women shined
with their “60s Rewind”
medley of “Stop! In the
Name of Love,” “Baby Love,”
“Please Mr. Postman,” “My
Guy” and “Chapel of Love.”
Rod Stark did a “fab” job on
his drums playing “Wipe
Out,” accompanied by Marta Swart on the piano, and soloing on
guitar was Ed Brown. Rod was so “fab” on the drums, the audience
shouted for more!
Jane Mehta, the Songsters pianist was “rockin’ out” (1960s slang for
“spectacular”) on the keyboard with assistance from Annette Gertzen
as her page-turner. Ed Brown, a new member, accompanied the
choir on his guitar.
The Songsters put in many hours of practice; and it takes a joint
effort to put a concert together. From music selection by Director
Judy Shields, Jane Mehta learning all the piano accompaniments,

decoration, room and sound set up, tickets, etc., the Songsters
would like to thank everyone involved for their hard work in making
the “60s Rewind Concert” such a huge success! The Vista Ballroom
was packed with a full house both nights thanks to the “groovy”
audiences; the Songsters love and appreciate their devotion and
support. All in all, everyone had a “blast!” “Peace Out!”
The Songsters will be taking a break for the summer, with many
members traveling in the U.S. and some out of the country. Practice
will resume in the fall.

Margo was proud to claim the title
of Ms. Senior Nevada 2009 and
to represent her State of Nevada.
Also, she still owns the title of Miss
Showgirl International 1971. She was
a professional dancer most of her life
and still dances with the ladies. Her
oldest member is a gentleman (yes,
they have one) who is 87 years young.
All of her dancers are from so many varied and interesting lives
and have never danced professionally. You can check some of their
numbers out on Google or YouTube under Aliante Steppers.
Our club welcomes any and all residents of our SCAL community to become
members. Today, a total of 253 people have joined the Veterans Club. There
is a very active Veterans Auxiliary, which conducts their own meetings and
develops projects. The Veterans Club sponsors a few fund raisers, such as an
annual pancake breakfast, a picnic and a spaghetti dinner. Please visit us and
bring your story; we’re listening. One hundred percent of our profits go to
supporting veteran and active duty military causes.
T H E
Margo’s proud of the fact that she started the group 10 years ago
and now they are the Official Dance Group for the Ms. Senior Nevada
Pageant held every year at the South Point Hotel in Las Vegas. Also,
last year they won three gold medals in the Dance category at the
Senior Olympics. One thing that seniors know about dance that
younger dancers still have not learned is that anybody can dance
and enjoy movement no matter how old they are. Dancing does not
have to be perfect, just enjoyable. Her goals this year are to continue
and add more seniors to their program and continue with their
charity work.
My wife of twenty-nine years, Donna, and I bought in Sun City Aliante in
2008 and made our final move here from Seattle in 2010. I retired from IBM
in 1995 with a 30-year career in marketing and sales of office equipment
and personal computers. My second career was with the U.S. Post Office
for 13 years as a door-to-door letter carrier in Seattle.
-
In Margo’s opinion, the main thing that separates her dance team
from other dance programs is that they are a non-profit group and all
classes are free. Additionally, members of this group are responsible
for the cost of costumes. They hold fund raisers such as garage sales
to help with the cost.
That wasn’t the case in 1969, when I got out of the Army Signal Corp. Our
society then had a negative view of those of us who served in our military.
Times have changed. Now I stand tall and wear my Sun City Aliante
Veteran’s Club uniform with pride. I want to celebrate those who sacrificed
for our freedom. Every veteran has a story to tell. All we have to do is listen
and be grateful.
