My assignment was at a junior high labeled an “Opportunity School.” I was really excited, ready to teach music, until I met with the assistant principal who explained that this school was a “holding area” for students that were either coming out of jail or about to return to jail. I was assigned to teach math for grades 6 through 8. However, I was cautioned the most important thing was not to close the classroom door so the school police could check on the students and me on a regular basis. I felt like a prison guard. Students’ personalities varied from very aggressive to completely withdrawn. Most didn’t want to be there and tuned off to me. Still, somehow at the end of the day I was asked to come back for the rest of the week. I felt I must have done something right! But I was stressed out. Nonetheless it was an opportunity to get experience and see if I could begin a new career. I learned quickly that

After that I spent 20 years teaching the fourth grade and working as a school counselor. Life certainly took me down a new path from music. However, the years I spent working with children were very bungalow on campus. There was no lesson plan, challenging, and it turned out to be very so I was ready to improvise.

The three cover photos not only won their divisions but also captured the coveted “Judge’s Award of Excellence,” the “Supervisor’s Award,” and “Best of Division” in both the B&W and Color categories. The SCSH Camera Club has participated in the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival for five years and continues to support and encourage its members to create award-winning photography in both B&W and Color categories. Don Ward acknowledges that his Judge’s award-winning image was a true collaboration with several club members who gave him sound advice to “tweak” his photo by convert- ing it from color to B&W and cropping it to create a stronger center of focus. Date Festival competition is a well-planned and supported club activity. Several photographers have continued to take numerous awards year after year but, after 2016, a few new winners have joined their ranks.

Trish Belisle BY LINDA AASEN PHOTOS BY LES WIDERYNSKI Trish Belisle is proof that living in Sun City Shadow Hills and participating in our creative clubs can inspire our neighbors. Trish has always enjoyed creative endeavors and fashioning something special for family, friends, and herself. Many years ago, a friend introduced her to the art of jewelry making and this became a new avenue for her Red coral and black bead jewelry set with black pendant artistic expression. Trish shares her passion with family and and matching dangling earrings friends, and she loves teaching her grandchildren these skills. When Trish joined the SCSH Jewelry Club about six years ago, she was excited to learn different techniques and meet the club’s imaginative members. As a result, her jewelry making became even more sophisticated. The Jewelry Club has also brought great camaraderie, inspiration, and fun. Now Trish sells jewelry creations at home parties, at SCSH art shows, and on her website, www.creationsbytrish.name. When asked where she gets her inspiration, Trish said that she has many sources. Sometimes she follows beading patterns, sometimes she copies commercially made jewelry, and sometimes she just lays out beads in an arrangement that is pleasing to her. She regularly wears her jewelry creations as samples of what she can create for others. At other times, clients will request a special design, and she uses that direction to create custom pieces guaranteed to please her customers. Her motto is, “Busy hands are happy hands.”

BY EVANGELINE GOMEZ LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS DIRECTOR

General Bus Trip Information Although traveling in a group can be a greatly pleasurable experience, it only requires the showing of inappropriate behavior or an unacceptable attitude by just one person to spoil the experience for everyone in the travel group. Group travel often requires that you put aside your personal needs so that you can consider the needs of others. Accepting that each individual has an important part to play, and a contribution to make to the shared experience, will help ensure that the group travel memories you bring home are happy ones. Traveling with a group has many limitations, such as time constraints, parking locations, and sometimes freeway traffic; please don’t compound problems by complaining. Here are some tips to keep in mind when traveling on one of our group bus trips: • We leave on time and have a tight schedule to keep. Please make sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before the stated departure time. • Please do not keep everyone waiting by being late. Being late can put the trip behind. • No open containers are allowed on the bus. If you are bringing refreshments, make sure that they have a lid. • Check behind you and excuse yourself before you recline your seat. • Try not to make phone calls while on the bus but, if you must, try to keep your conversation short and to the point, and avoid using speakerphone. • Keep your voice down and be mindful of those sitting near. • Please do not give the driver suggestions, advice, or criticism for the chosen routes. It distracts the driver and can lead to safety issues. • The bus will drop off and pick up passengers in a central location. The exact location will be announced on the bus prior to arrival at the destination. Please stay at the destination with the group. Please do not meet friends in the area and leave. • If you go with the bus, we request that you also return with the bus. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
