Sun City Home Owners Association 2018 November Newsletter SUN CITY HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION 2018 NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT THANK YOU FOR VOTING! Election season is upon us! SCHOA encourages everyone to participate. The right to vote is precious. There are national, state, and local races of importance to all of us. SCHOA is prohibited by law from endorsing any specific candidates, and we are diligent in staying within the law. We can, however, take positions on matters which impact our community and way of life. Prop 127 is one of those matters. SCHOA is strongly opposed to Prop 127. It is clearly not in the best interests of Sun City residents, and we encourage you to vote NO on Prop 127. I would also like to encourage you to participate in the election of 3 new Board members at SCHOA. We have 5 excellent candidates for 3 positions; 2 of the positions are full 3-year terms and the other is a balance of 1 year stemming from a resignation. Visit our web site to learn more about the candidates. Voting will be from November 5th through November 11th on line, or you may vote at our office November 5th through 9th from 9 AM to 3 PM if you prefer a paper ballot. To vote, you must be a member of SCHOA. The decisions made by and direction set by our 9-member board directly affect your property values and way of life. It is time well spent to get to know these candidates. It is also time well spent to celebrate Thanksgiving this month. This is my personal favorite holiday; it is a time to reflect upon the things for which I am thankful. We have much to be thankful for as residents of Sun City. SCHOA will continue to work diligently to keep it that way. Happy Thanksgiving! Jim Hunter, President, SCHOA Board of Directors ELECTIONS ARE TAKING PLACE ON MULTIPLE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND ORGANIZATIONS The Sun City Home Owners Association (SCHOA) is strongly opposed to Proposition 127 and SCHOA urges all members to vote NO on Proposition 127. (See the Ballot wording) The “Clean Energy for a Healthy Arizona” initiative seeks to amend Arizona’s State Constitution requiring that Arizona utilities obtain 50 percent of their energy from renewable resources by 2030. At current escalating speeds of innovative change, it would be irresponsible to lock out the ability to adapt, which is what the initiative would do if passed. Energy policy is best served under the charge of the Arizona Corporation Commission. At least they are able to adjust as technology and demand dictate. This is a necessary component to ensure what is in the overall best interest of our citizens. Not only is an amendment to the state constitution an irresponsible way to set energy policy, but the impacts of this particular ballot initiative would be catastrophic. When the sun is not shining, Solar doesn’t produce. That said, storage, gas fired plants and nuclear power act as ancillary supporters, to offset solar when it’s not sufficient to supply customer needs. Arizona has the largest, most efficient, carbon free and cost effective nuclear power plant in the Country. Proposition 127, if passed, would not only negate the huge advantage the Palo Verde Generating Station brings, but would initiate its deactivation prematurely, causing unwarranted costs for the company owners, which would be passed on to ratepayers. Most Sun City residents are on a fixed income and cannot afford their electricity rates doubling, as this initiative would likely do. SCHOA is deeply concerned about the effects of this initiative on our residents and the state as a whole. We urge you to reject this proposal. Hello SCHOA, If you haven’t voted early, don’t forget to vote during the general election on November 6th. No matter your affiliation it’s important we all exercise our right to vote. This month, we’re paying tribute to all of the veterans who have fought for our freedoms. THANK YOU for your service! Approximately 1,300 of our county employees have also served in a branch of the US military and many continue as reservists. We will acknowledge them during our annual Veterans Day Ceremony on November 7, at 9 a.m. outside of the Board of Supervisor’s Auditorium. You are more than welcome to attend to help us honor our veterans! As it cools off in the Valley of the Sun, you’ll be tempted to spend more time outdoors! Well, why not visit one of our Maricopa County parks? You can get outside and explore the beautiful Sonoran desert while enjoying the cooler weather, and on November 17, celebrate National Take a Hike Day with a free day-use entry to any of our regional parks. Please take advantage of this fun offer and check out the Waterfall Trail at the White Tank Regional Park. As ever, please feel free to contact me with your comments, questions, and concerns. In your service, Clint Hickman, District 4 Maricopa County Board of Supervisors 602-506-7642 or www.maricopa.gov/dist4 SCHOA’S MISSION STATEMENT “To provide for the well-being of Sun City through fair and universal compliance with the CC&Rs” Conditions, Covenants & Restrictions 2019 SCHOA BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTION MEET THE CANDIDATES! The elected individuals to the SCHOA Board of Directors will become part of the policy making body of SCHOA whose mission is to ‘provide for the well-being of Sun City through fair and universal compliance with the CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) and will be involved in decisions over the next few years that directly affect you and your property value. The election period for the directors to our board will be from November 5 through November 11, 2018. We will be filling 3 seats on the board, 2 for three year terms and 1 for a one year term. You are encouraged to get to know the candidates as much as possible and to participate in this election. You have an opportunity to meet the candidates at their “Candidate table” during SCHOA’s 9th Annual/2018 Health and Wellness Expo at the Sundial Recreation Center on November 9th. Election period closes just 2 days later. SCHOA has published personal profiles and other information provided by the candidates on our web site and in other formats published and printed in October. You must be a home owner and a current member of SCHOA to be able to vote. Select to vote - On-line 24/7, November 5 through November 11, Monday through Sunday, or in person at the SCHOA office for a paper ballot within business hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Ritchie Miller, SCHOA Board of Directors Secretary/Nominations and Elections Committee Chair Its’ Voting Season! Do YOUR Part Dear Fellow Home Owners, As a termed-out Sun City Home Owners Association Board member, I recently wrote a letter to the editor urging women residents to consider being candidates for the SCHOA Board, and other organizations’ boards, because women have skills and experience, different from men, to offer them. I want to heartily thank the two women who have stepped up to run for the SCHOA Board, Gail Warmath and Mary Riemer. These ladies, along with three gentlemen, Jerry Walczak, Al Morton and David Carlson, are the candidates in the 2018 Election to the 2019 SCHOA Board of Directors. Now it’s time to do YOUR part. No candidate can achieve office without support. IT’S TIME TO VOTE. As much as I would like to see all of these folks seated on the Board, there are only three open positions. It is up to ‘US’, the voters, to make those selections. Please consider what each candidate brings to the table. They offer their judgment and expertise, based on their years of experience as working adults; their sense of fairness and justice, based on what is right for all home owners; and their can-do spirit and collaborative energy that makes them want to accomplish things as part of a team. Please think about these things, and any others important to you, when you make your choice. But the key is TO MAKE A CHOICE!! You will be voting for three candidates for the 2019 SCHOA Board. Online voting begins November 5 at 12:01 a.m. through November 11 at 11:59 p.m. Hours to vote by paper ballot in the SCHOA office are November 5 through November 9, 9:00 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. (within SCHOA regular business hours). Don’t let this opportunity for your positive input pass you by. PLEASE VOTE. Your community needs to hear your voice. Thank you very much, from me and your community. Pam Schwartz SCHOA Board and Elections Committee Member 9 Things You Need to Know Before Voting on Election Day, November 6, 2018 Not all voting procedures are the same for all states, so if you are now a resident of Arizona and will be voting here, you need to know what must be accomplished before you are allowed to vote. You must be a citizen to vote. American citizens — whether born here or naturalized — who will be at least 18 years old on Election Day are eligible to vote. You must be registered in order to vote. Not sure if you are registered? You can check your status through your state board of elections. You can register in person at your local elections office, at online voter registration, at the department of motor vehicles, or at an armed services recruitment centers.

It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met. This desk manual has been prepared for use by chaplains, administrators and other staff of the Washington State Department of Corrections. It is not meant to be an exhaustive study of all religions. It does provide a brief background of most religions having participants housed in Washington prisons. This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.

  • The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor Lavey
    Called “The Black Pope” by many of his followers, Anton LaVey began the road to High Priesthood of the Church of Satan when he was only 16 years old and an organ player in a carnival: “On Saturday night I would see men lusting after half‐naked girls dancing at the carnival, and on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tent‐show evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night they’d be back at the carnival or some other place of indulgence. “I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hypocrisy, and that man’s carnal nature will out!” From that time early in his life his path was clear. Finally, on the last night of April, 1966– Walpurgisnacht, the most important festival of the believers in witchcraft–LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of ancient executioners and announced the formation of The Church Of Satan. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man’s body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration. “Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure,” he said, “there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence. .” The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor LaVey For Diane Dedications To: Bernadino Logara, who knew the value of money Karl Haushofer, a teacher without a classroom Rasputin, who knew the magic of a child Sir Basil Zaharoff, a gentleman Cagliostro, a rogue Barnabas Saul, the link with Mount Lalesh Ragnar Redbeard, whose might is right William Mortensen, who looked .

  • Anton Lavey, the Satanic Bible and the Satanist "Tradition"1
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Publikations- und Dokumentenserver der Universitätsbibliothek Marburg Marburg Journal of Religion: Volume 7, No. 1 (September 2002) Diabolical Authority: Anton LaVey, The Satanic Bible and the Satanist "Tradition"1 James R. Lewis University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, USA Dept. of Philosophy and Religious Studies eMail: [email protected] We have a bible. We have a pro-human dogma. We have a church. We have a tradition. - From the Church of Satan's official website. The status of The Satanic Bible as an authoritative scripture-or, perhaps more accurately, as a kind of quasi-scripture-within the Satanic subculture was initially brought to my attention during my first face-to-face encounter with Satanists in the Spring of 2000. Via the internet, I had found a small Satanist group in Portage, Wisconsin, which was about an hour south of where I resided at the time. This group, the Temple of Lylyth, distinguishes itself from Anton LaVey's brand of Satanism chiefly by its emphasis on feminine nature of the Dark Power. I arranged to meet with them in Portage on a Friday evening in connection with a research project on which I was working at the time. Over the course of our conversation, the founder and then leader of the group mentioned that on Friday evenings he was usually downtown where a small group of fervent Christians regularly set up what might be called a "preaching station" to spread the Gospel. This young fellow (he was nineteen at the time) would confront them as a practicing Satanist.

  • The Picture |The Story
    Joe Shere, Jayne Mansfield and Sophia Loren at Romanoff's, Beverly Hills, CA, 1958 The Picture |The Story It seems nearly everyone is familiar with this photograph of Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield. In many ways, this is the definition of a truly iconic, memorable image. We know the photograph so well, two Hollywood bombshells at the height of their fame, and Sophia – just for a split second looking down with scorn or contempt at Jayne’s infamous attributes. Like most iconic photographs, the story behind the image is just as incredible as the image itself. This photograph, taken by Joe Shere, ran in numerous magazines and newspapers in 1958, and continues to appear in publications even today. I first met Joe Shere in 1986 when I co-curated “Masters of Starlight”, an exhibition of Hollywood photography at LACMA. This exhibition was one of the first museum shows to recognize the formidable influence of Hollywood portraiture and Hollywood documentary photography within the larger history and evolution of Fine Art Photography. While collaborating on the exhibition, Joe Shere mentioned that he had worked as a photographer in Hollywood for well over 50 years. He said that although he took countless behind-the-scenes photographs during his career, the image of Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield will be the one photograph everyone will remember. This has, of course, proven to be true. Like so many memorable photographs – timing, chance, and using one’s ingenuity is critical. As always, luck can be a crucial element to catch that indelible and unpredictable moment. Joe Shere, Marilyn Monroe (in Shorts), DATE After I got to know Joe better, he told me about his brother, Sam, also a photographer who was retired in Florida at the time.

    The American Century Theater presents by George Axelrod Audience Guide Written and compiled by Jack Marshall January 15–February 6 Theatre II, Gunston Arts Center Theater you can afford to seesee———— ppplaysplays you can’t afford to miss! About The American Century Theater The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, and neglected American plays of the twentieth century . what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These audience guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. The American Century Theater is a 501(c)(3) professional nonprofit theater company dedicated to producing significant 20th Century American plays and musicals at risk of being forgotten. The American Century Theater is supported in part by Arlington County through the Cultural Affairs Division of the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources and the Arlington Commission for the Arts. This arts event is made possible in part by the Virginia Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as by many generous donors.

  • Body Image: Understanding Body Dissatisfaction in Men, Women and Children / Sarah Grogan
    Body Image Body Image reviews current research on body image in men, women and children and presents fresh data from Britain and the United States. Sarah Grogan brings together perspectives from psychology, sociology, women’s studies and media studies to assess what we know about the social construction of body image at the end of the twentieth century. Most previous work on body image concentrates on women. With the male body becoming more ‘visible’ in popular culture, researchers in psychology and sociology have recently become more interested in men’s body image. Sarah Grogan presents original data from interviews with men, women and children to complement existing research, and provides a comprehensive investigation of cultural influences on body image. Body Image will be of interest to students of psychology, sociology, women’s studies, men’s studies, media studies, and anyone with an interest in body image. Sarah Grogan is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Basketball Team Wins Far Western Tournament. Stauffer Joins Board ,Now Jmportant Jj Fhe Rock? As guest editor of this month's issue, I couldn't help doing a little reflective thinking on the title of this publication. The Rock out on the center of the campus has stood as long as the College as a jousting point between classes and rival schools. Through the years, it has become a beloved tradition in the hearts of many alumni. Amazingly enough, though victory bells and banners and even some live students have been snatched away from time to time as booty by rival schools, no one has to date succeeded in making off with the Rock. Simulated Rocks have appeared on Homecoming floats, and there have been several attempts, complete with block and tackle to make off with The Rock. After much work and sweat, would- be Rock-absconders have found much to their dismay that there was more to the Rock than meets the eye. When we think of the Rock in terms of what it means to Whittier College, perhaps we would do well to be reminded of what a man named David had to say about THE ROCK as a foundation several thousand years ago: "The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my de- liverer; my God, my strength in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my RAY LENTZSCH guest editor high tower." .
