August 2021 | Sun City Anthem | 5 Sun City Anthem Chief Operating Board of Directors Officer Report

Summer is here and the heat is on! We hope you are staying cool and getting back to some of your pre- COVID routine. The centers are starting to get a bit busier with our clubs and groups returning, however some are still not comfortable coming back yet. Recently, I have been asked a few important questions related to our operations during COVID-19: When will our center hours return to what they were pre-COVID? Due to current job market conditions, we are experiencing a shortage of willing and able staff. We are unable to find quality candidates for new hires. Our existing staff has re-evaluated their priorities and are making decisions based on L to R: President, Stephen Anderson; Vice President, Paul Perlstein; their current life priorities. Most are not comfortable extending Treasurer, Richard Pope; Secretary, Wendy Linow L to R: Directors, Brian Donahue, Forrest Quinn and Barry Rubinson shifts, and/or arriving at 4:30 a.m. or leaving at 10:15 p.m. The usage for Anthem Center during the hours of 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. Board member photos are provided by Dean Hickey. and 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. is low, historically, and the activities/clubs that used the facility during the afore-mentioned hours have SUN CITY ANTHEM adjusted to the new building schedule. In this light, we will be keeping our existing operating hours in all centers: 6 a.m. to 9 BOARD OF DIRECTORS p.m., seven days per week, for the foreseeable future. President Stephen Anderson Why aren’t you checking vaccination cards for those who enter [email protected] the buildings? I have heard that residents who have not been vaccinated are coming to the centers without wearing a mask. All Vice President Paul Perlstein rooms are at 100% capacity, with no masks or social distancing [email protected] required, if you have been fully vaccinated. If you have not Treasurer Richard Pope been vaccinated, please continue to wear your mask to protect yourself and others, as was the intent of the guidelines. We have [email protected] successfully been able to stay open by following the local, state, Secretary Wendy Linow and federal directives. We intend to follow their lead, and will [email protected] take their guidance. If checking vaccination cards becomes a requirement, then we will react accordingly. In the meantime, Director Brian Donahue please be kind and respect one another. Wear a mask if you have [email protected] not been vaccinated.

Director Forrest Quinn Why aren’t you closing the centers as the number of [email protected] COVID-19 cases has spiked in the Las Vegas area? Again, we will follow the directives from local, state, and federal Director Barry Rubinson jurisdictions. [email protected] We can continue to stay safe by taking some simple precautions, such as physical distancing, wearing a mask if not vaccinated, Membership Office Back in Anthem Center keeping rooms well ventilated, avoiding crowds, cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue. In the The Membership office has moved back to Anthem meantime, please be well and I hope to see on the SCA campus Center from Independence Center.

IVA OLUNTEERS

I was just reviewing a message from our Neighborhood Watch Program (Yes, I’m a Block Captain!), and wasV absolutely thrilledV to learn that we have 742 new residents in the first half of 2021! Most of us know that they moved here for many of the same reasons each of us did. They moved here for the great location, beautiful homes, well maintained community centers, and a plentiful choice of activities and clubs. SCA couldn’t maintain our top-notch status without the help of our paid staff, and most of all, without all the volunteers who step up to assist our Board of Directors in the five standing committees and ad hoc task forces. Also, we have the five service groups that are the backbone of our community – SCA-TV, Emergency Preparedness Service Group, Neighborhood Watch Program, Community Service Group and Community Patrol. All the committees and service groups are filled with residents just like you and me. They don’t require a lot of time, and most will train you to do whatever role in which you are interested.

As Bryan Stevenson, an attorney and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) believes, “The past must be acknowledged and commemorated with memorials and monuments that create space for the restorative power of truth telling.” Next on our roster of speakers was Michael Naft, our District A County Commissioner.

Some of the topics Michael discussed were water issues, using the Allegiant Stadium optimally, the building of a pedestrian bridge, and the Sunridge Heights Project, which is the possibility of building a traffic tunnel beneath the Henderson airport to expedite traffic flow. Also, mentioned was the long past due train to Los Angeles, to include a connector line from Victorville, and an interstate highway to Phoenix.

Gilcrease Orchards

Orchard! Numerous crops were available for picking, including Clingstone peaches, Cotton Candy Apriums with white flesh, beets, carrots, sunflowers, etc. Their free “app” (available in the playstore under “Gilcrease Orchard”) made it easier to find what you were looking for in their 60 acre orchard. The natural artesian springs that allow this orchard to exist, have been a local treasure since the Gilcrease family created the orchard 90 years ago. The Dennis Werth tomato seedling experiment. It is safe to say that the experiment was successful for most of the varieties. Tina’s “Tommy Toe” and “Better Boy Early Bush” are producing healthy, cherry size tomatoes. Same goes for Linda Gettier’s “Better Boy Early Bush” and “Midnight Snack”. All of Dennis’ plants are also producing nice, juicy crops! See recent pictures on the Garden Club website. Thanks, again, Dennis, for the donated seedlings! August 2021 | Sun City Anthem | 49 Clubs

HAND AND FOOT You get two “hands” in our game. It’s almost like cheating! Actually, Hand and Foot gives you a second chance to score; after you play all the cards in your first hand, you pick up and play the second (your “foot”). With the help of your partner, you compete against another duo and play to the finish! Seven identical cards are “booked”, and if there are no wild cards, they’re pure (red) and count 500 points. With two or less wild cards, they’re dirty or black, and count 300 points. Unlike Canasta, red threes count against you (100 points each!) when you add up the final points. We meet twice a week in the Morris/Nelson Rooms at Independence Center when the centers are open for club play/ gaming. Tuesday games start promptly at 5:30 p.m. Please try to arrive by 5:15 p.m. On Fridays, play begins promptly at 12:30 p.m. Please try to arrive by 12:15 p.m. No one can start after those times.

Charleston is approximately 12,000 feet above sea level. Yet, eons ago, this was the ocean floor, as evidenced by marine fossils that can still be found today on the mountain. The peak is the highest in Southern Nevada, and the eighth-highest peak in the state. Our club’s first expedition to the peak was in 1999, but many of those hikers had been there previously. In approximately 2005, club member Sherman Uchill created the “Charleston Challenge” for our club. This was to be an annual special event for which members would train. Steve Lynch was put in charge of the training program, and an amazing 48 club members reached the peak that year. In honor of Sherman, who passed away several years ago, Steve Lynch has continued the tradition of this special event, which is always held on the summer solstice to give hikers maximum daylight to complete this extremely strenuous hike of approximately 18 miles and 5,000 feet of elevation gain. Steve derives great joy from encouraging and helping members challenge themselves, train, complete, and enjoy this fabulous experience. Steve estimates he has been to Mt. Charleston Peak more than 500 times, including 12 times last year alone! He knows roughly a dozen additional routes, beyond the traditional South Loop and North Loop Trails, to the peak, and is always looking to share these with our more adventurous members. Last year, Steve reached the peak on his 80th birthday!

Steve Lynch, at 80, on Mt. Charleston Peak.

Steve also created the 4 Peak Challenge for our club in 2010. Yes, the idea is to go to Mt. Charleston Peak and three other nearby peaks, all on the same day! Several club members were on this hike in 2013, the day the Carpenter 1 Fire started, causing major devastation in the area. The hikers had finished Mt. Charleston as the third peak of the four that day, but had to abort going to Griffith Peak. Instead, they wisely chose to descend and be safe.

In Flagstaff, Arizona, the group stayed at Black Bart’s RV Park, and ate at the Black Bart’s Saloon and Steakhouse. The next stop was Monument Valley Park. Monument Valley is a Navajo Nation Tribal Park, and wholly within tribal lands. It is in a red-sand desert region on the Arizona-Utah border and near the Four Corners area. It has towering sandstone buttes that are often featured as a backdrop for Hollywood westerns. When the group arrived, the Park was not fully opened from its pandemic shut-down. As a result, none of the official tours were open, but the group was content to do a self-guided tour.

SPOTLIGHT On a blistering hot Friday evening, June 4, the Spotlight Club gave a gift to the SCA residents of the first event after months of social isolation! We all missed socializing with our friends and the lure of live entertainment. Co-Directors, Bill Hoover and Margaret Carbaugh, were To quote a couple of the artists melting slowly, errr, “Falling Slowly”. featured in Spotlight on Singer- Songwriters, our journey to completing this show was “a long and winding road”! The trio of directors, Margaret Carbaugh, Bill Hoover, and Kathi Sarkin, had been talking about this project for several years. With the pandemic keeping us out of Freedom Hall, we aimed our sights on doing an outdoor show on the North Lawn. The video-audition process began in early June 2020, with plans to do the show in October. For the singers, part of what made Twenty-eight hot and exhausted performers took a bow. this show enjoyable to prepare and perform, was being allowed to choose songs that they loved from the vast catalog of singer- All of this time, we were doing rehearsals wherever we songwriter offerings. could, while working on the logistics unique to an outdoor Face-masked singers’ rehearsals began in July. By August, it was performance.

In March, we realized that the restrictions on the size configuration of sound and lights could be done, keeping tabs on of crowds would prevent an April performance, so the show was the continued health of the cast, and praying for good weather, pushed to June 4. were just a part of what occurred. However, we didn’t anticipate

66 | Sun City Anthem | August 2021 that June would set records for high temperatures! But our amazing tech team put their heads down and their sunscreen on, and worked their usual magic. And it was all worth it! The dancers’ journey from concept to performance was filled with creativity and fun. Through every rehearsal in parking lots, the ‘dance’ room, Freedom Hall, and the North Lawn stage, thirteen dedicated and hard-working dancers found the magic behind 5, 6, 7, 8! We love spending time together, sharing ideas, and developing choreography to support our show concept. Once again, Linda Peluso, Marybeth Lohman, and our lead choreographer, Kathi Sarkin, designed dances which delighted our audience. Of course, Grace Liang’s amazing costume skills gave us dazzling outfits. We were stunned and thrilled with the crowd that came out to see us – and what an incredible audience they were! We were all so happy to be able to provide an evening of entertainment – and a break from what has been a stressful time for everyone. If you didn’t get the chance to see the show, we are now planning a reprise in Freedom Hall this fall. Keep reading the Spirit for details! Spotlight gives each performer an opportunity to stretch and grow, discover and learn from each other, and that is something special. Now, on to the next show! US Telegraph STRATEGY GAMES Board Games of today have moved well beyond our childhood favorites of Monopoly, Clue, and Sorry. Those games involve a great deal of luck, and often longer play, to offer families time together. Many popular board games of today emphasize strategy, are played in an hour or less, and rely less on chance. What do new members play? – We usually start new members with a few of the lower complexity games, such as Kingdomino, Azul, Uptown and Splendor, among others. Quick to learn…but you will want to keep playing to develop your winning strategy! Variety of Games – The club library has over 60 game titles, half of which are “Game-of-the-Year” recommended, nominees, or winners, making them popular. But popularity always seems to swing the way of the “newest game” brought in to try! What’s new and interesting? – Popular games often go through transformations over the years, by a new publisher, improvement in rules, component upgrades, expansions of course. In our photos, we show a game that plays the same, originally called “Attika” with a Roman theme, changed to “US Telegraph” with an American theme. If you play a game somewhere and want to buy it…make sure you know the version available! Attika Skill required? – We play “strategy” games because players make decisions and plan for a winning outcome, instead of relying on that take a longer time commitment to learn. luck (like moving with a roll of the dice). But not all games are How does it work? – Our club mission is to create a friendly created equal.

The Museum is the premier museum of American decorative arts, with an unparalleled collection of objects made or used in America between about 1640 and 1860. It houses some of the best examples of antique furniture. He said, “Standing next to one of these majestic works of functional art is an amazing experience. The experience made me join the Society of American Period Furniture Makers”. After learning how to carve for furniture, he began building period furniture.
