As summer comes to an end, it’s time to look to the outdoors. Our community perspective likely isn’t much different than your personal one. You’re probably considering freshening up the landscape here and there or possibly completing a total renovation of your yard. The Landscape Committee continues to work with Caretaker Landscape to keep Vistancia looking as beautiful now as the day we first fell in love with it. This involves taking a hard look at maintenance practices as the community grows and ages. It also involves looking at specific areas of the community where the original landscape design no longer works as intended because of erosion, plant growth or changing needs of the community. Vistancia is more than 10 years old, and its landscape needs are ever-changing. The Landscape Committee has worked hard to identify problematic areas within the community requiring more focus. The committee meets twice each month to discuss and walk these areas to review progress and see results. You’ll start to see, if you haven’t already, a few areas of landscape being renovated. Major tree trimming, greenbelt or retention areas being reworked for better drainage, and new plantings are just a few examples. So, as you walk the community, please take a moment to note these changes. We’re always open to looking at additional areas that need refreshing. What should you do if you see an area in the neighborhood that needs attention? If you haven’t visited the new community website, myvistancia.com, please do! The website has so many functions the old site did not and is much easier to use. One function of the new website is the ability to report a problem in the community in real time.

Why Hire a Licensed Painter? By Susan Claeys Design Review Coordinator

While you’re welcomed to choose any painter 1. Competence. Acquiring a license in a specific field you’d like, there are a few things we demonstrates the person has at least a minimal level recommend considering. of competence in that field. That doesn’t mean that a licensed painter will be the absolute best, but it When considering recommendations from friends and does show the person working on your home has family, encountering a flyer or even talking with a person experience.

It may sound appealing to save money, Among them is the ability to file a complaint against but this is where many consumers fall into a trap. Hiring the painter's license within a two-year period from the cheapest painter may cost you more in the long run. the date the last work was performed. Under certain In most circumstances, unlicensed painters offer lower conditions, you may also be eligible to apply to the quotes because they do not pay a licensing fee or obtain Registrar's Residential Contractors' Recovery Fund a bond to protect their work. In many cases, they don’t and, depending on the cost of damages, receive up purchase liability or workers’ compensation insurance. to $30,000 to have the work corrected or completed. 3. Protection. An unlicensed painter may not have workers’ compensation insurance, and when hired by a homeowner, the homeowner then becomes the employer and is responsible for any injuries or accidents occurring on their property. A simple exterior paint project could turn into a bill for tens of thousands more, all because the homeowner hired an unlicensed painter. 4. Liability. Not only does hiring an unlicensed painter come with risks to the homeowner’s property and injury to workers, it can also make the homeowner liable for the painter’s negligence. A painter causing damage to a neighbor’s property or a child riding by on a bike can result in the homeowner being responsible for the painter’s actions while employed. Just because the ad says a painter is licensed doesn’t mean it’s true. Many complaints are received when the homeowner believed they had contracted a licensed, bonded and insured painter, but they had not. Be sure to ask for your painter’s license number and double-check the number with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors at azroc.com. Painting your home is expensive; it needs to last years and look great so you’re proud to drive up to your home every day. Choose wisely when choosing a painter. 10 | association communications brief

Work hard. Treat people fairly. Earn respect. Saying Goodbye is A man whom I admire built an athletic career Never Easy off that simple motto. Those seven words say By Adam Testa so much, and it’s a philosophy I’ve come to Communications Coordinator employ myself. I hope you’ve noticed it through the past 15 months we’ve spent together. When I arrived in Vistancia in June of last year, I did so with big plans and an optimistic outlook. The community’s communications program was poised to reach the next level. Looking back, we accomplished more in that short time than I ever imagined possible. That makes it all the harder to say goodbye. I have accepted a promotion to serve in the newly created role of Content Specialist at the CCMC corporate office in Scottsdale. This opportunity will allow me the opportunity to help communities across the country elevate their communications programs, as we’ve accomplished here. It’s bittersweet to know these are my final weeks in Vistancia. Saying goodbye isn’t easy for me; saying thank you is. And, believe me, there are more people I wish I could thank than space for this column. Thank you… To Community Manager Craig Pustejovsky and my CCMC colleagues for the opportunity to serve this community with some of the most dedicated, hardest-working people I know. To the Board of Directors for backing me and my endeavors from day one. Without your administrative, moral and financial support, we would not have been able to accomplish what we did. To the Communications Committee for always being there to lend an ear and share ideas. We’re a small-but-mighty force, and, together, we overcame some struggles and created many successes. I couldn’t have thrived in my role without your support. To our vendors for providing first-class service and helping create a hassle-free environment to grow our communications platforms. From CivicPlus, who created the new myvistancia.com, to Print2order, who does so much more than serve as publisher of this fine magazine, these relationships have been true partnerships working for the betterment of the community. To the community for being you. Our community is more than a collection of amenities; it’s an embodiment of the vibrant spirit you all help bring out in each other. Sure, we don’t always agree, or something might upset you, but at the end of the day, Vistancia does feel like home. It’s been my privilege to spend these past 15 months serving as your Communications Coordinator. An announcement regarding a new Communications Coordinator will be made soon. I’m confident we have found someone more than capable of continuing to build upon the foundation we’ve started. Through the past year, these columns have been filled with obscure references most probably never understood. It only seems fitting to leave you with one more, as I pack up my towel and prepare for departure.

EVENT DETAILS Oktoberfest Saturday, Sept. 30 | 5:30-8:30 p.m. | MVC Event Lawn lifestyle | 13 featured event

Willkommen Auf Oktoberfest! By Melissa Parsons Lifestyle Director

WHO DECIDED TO HOST OKTOBERFEST IN SEPTEMBER?

In Germany, the 16-day celebration begins in September and concludes the first weekend in October, giving its name a little clearer meaning. While we wish we could replicate the lengthy, elaborate festival, we have to condense our celebration to a single day here in Vistancia. On Sept. 30, from 5:30-8:30 p.m., everyone on the MVC Event Lawn will be a little German. For $10 per person, residents will be able to enjoy an evening of adult-themed fun and food at our Oktoberfest celebration. This year’s event includes three contests with opportunities to win great prizes. These include: • Stein Holding: A returning favorite, this activity sees groups of men and women extend their arms, holding a full stein, in a test of endurance. The last one standing without flexing their arm will receive an authentic German Oktoberfest beer stein. Special thanks to contest sponsor Zona Communications. • Yodeling: Yodel-ay-ee-who will take home the top prize in this vocal competition, sponsored by Peoria Artisan Brewery? Step up to the microphone and show us your yodeling skills for a chance to win. • Cornhole: Eight teams of two will compete for bragging rights and a prize during the first Oktoberfest cornhole tournament. Standard rules apply. Registration for all three contests will take place on site the night of the event, so arrive early for the best shot at participating. In addition to the games, Oktoberfest will also feature live music, games, a variety of German-themed food and, of course, beer! Our friends at Peoria Artisan Brewery will be on site; each ticket to the event includes two free drink tickets and a brat or a hot dog. Additional food and drinks will be available for purchase. Tickets are available online at myvistancia.com or in person at the Lifestyle Office. Oktoberfest is sponsored by Zona Communications, Legacy Smiles Dentistry and Advance Pediatrics. Wir sehen uns auf dem Oktoberfest! 14 | lifestyle featured activity Raising the Barre3 By Hannah Crosby Lifestyle Assistant

So, you want to start working out. You’ve researched different types of fitness and maybe even tried out a few local facilities. But, nothing felt just right. Maybe it was too expensive, too intense or you just felt out of place.

If this sounds familiar, Barre3 might be perfect for you. The best part? It will soon be offered right here at the Mountain Vista Club – for free. Classes begin Sept. 18 and will be held at 6:30 p.m. every Monday and 4:30 p.m. every Friday.

Not only is Barre3 a great source of exercise, it also teaches the importance of nourishing the body and making connections in life. Barre3 instructor and local resident Kendra Zimmermann shares her story about why she’s motivated to bring this new program to the Vistancia community.

“After taking my first Barre3 class in 2015, I knew it was something special. It was unlike any other fitness experience I’d had; I actually looked forward to class and felt amazing afterward. It was a hard workout combined with a sense of mindfulness, and I’d leave feeling energized and rejuvenated. It was an absolute game-changer.

Barre3 combines ballet, Pilates and yoga to deliver a full-body workout using only low-impact movements. The 60-minute class is designed to lift, lengthen and tone the entire body. The signature approach to teaching results in a rewarding endorphin high and deep muscle burn, without pain in areas of the body prone to injury.

The best thing about Barre3? Anyone can do it! It isn’t a one- size-fits-all approach to exercise but instead empowers each individual to modify postures and develop body awareness for lasting results.

While the workout and results were amazing, it wasn’t just the class that attracted me to Barre3, but the overall lifestyle and emphasis on balance. The ‘3’ in Barre3 stands for exercise, nourish and connect, the three pillars of the Barre3 approach.

It’s not just how hard you work or the numbers on the scale; it’s about nourishing your body and making connections to lead a balanced and happier life. By focusing on whole-body health, Barre3 empowers people to feel good from the inside out.”

Unlike other sources of exercise, Barre3 isn’t just about sweating and burning calories. It’s a complete lifestyle change that will energize your mind, body and spirit. The adaptable approach makes it perfect for our diverse mix of residents here in Vistancia. It’s a class every type of person can benefit from.

Come out Sept. 18 and see for yourself why Barre3 is the newest fitness trend. It might just be the perfect fit for you. lifestyle | 15 scrapbook

PUB TRIVIA NIGHT Teams of residents engaged in a battle of intellect and knowledge at the community’s first Pub Trivia Night on July 29. Geeks Who Drink hosted the night of fun, which included six rounds of trivia, appetizers, desserts and a whole lot of fun. Congratulations to The Magnificent Seven on their victory!

TEEN GAME DAY When 65 teens converged on the MVC Gym on Aug. 2, their battle took a much more literal form. Teens used a variety of Nerf guns, bows and assorted weapons to aid their allies in a round of capture-the- flag-style fun during Nerf Wars. Special thanks to the City of Peoria for helping provide teens one last afternoon of enjoyment before summer ended.

Hello, Vistancia Elementary families. We hope your first month of school started great! Here at Vistancia Elementary, we’re off and running smoothly. One thing you’ll notice this year is an increased effort to personalize learning for our students, as we know all students do not learn the same way. We’d be doing a disservice if we taught this way in our classrooms; therefore, teachers and students are looking more into how we can personalize learning as much as possible for our students. With this in mind, we’ve put our laptop carts into the hands of teachers. Each grade level has daily access to laptops or iPads they’re using with their students to access a variety of online programs to enrich, extend, re-mediate, intervene and support students’ individual learning needs. Utilizing this digital content allows for differentiated paths and pace IMPORTANT DATES and more targeted instruction aligning to specific student needs and learning goals. It also gives teachers frequent data to inform their Sept. 4 | No School (Labor Day) instructional decisions.

New City Online Store The city recently launched its first online Peoria product shop. Residents, business owners and tourists can show their Peoria pride by displaying the Peoria flag wherever they go. With the option of buying the official city flag, T-shirts, keychains, tote bags, phone cases and more, there’s something for everyone in the Peoria community. The city has not only received positive feedback from citizens on the new flag but also requests for the city’s flag on everyday products. The look and design of the flag began more than a year ago, after the city started to incorporate its colors and patterns into its visual brand, “See Yourself in Peoria,” which encourages residents, businesses and tourists to think of Peoria as their city.
