Steven’s, wife, Lenora, is a member of the Spotlight Club and just loves performing in the shows. The two of them have three daughters, and three great sons-in-laws. Steven and Lenora are kept really busy with their five grand kids who live in the Las Vegas area. They enjoy going to the baseball games that the three grandsons play, and the events in which the two granddaughters are active in. The family is able to get together often. When Steven has some time for himself, he really, really enjoys riding his beautiful HARLEY.

KEEPING YOURSELF SAFE There are many things that we as homeowners can do to help prevent crime. We can put security doors on our front entry area and put up security cameras and we can make sure that the plants around our house have been cut back so they don’t provide a hiding place for the criminal. We can install lighting around the perimeter of our house and make sure that the lights are on during the evening hours. Install timers for the outside lights, solar or have them hard wired in the wall switch position. Another is to prevent our cars from being burglarized. The best method of keeping your vehicle safe is to park it in the garage. Many of us retire to downsize. Unfortunately we are using our garage as a storage locker instead of parking our car in it.

We were fortunate to have Tommy Wind and proud mom, Arlene Lisi Ricardo, co-host in May. Arlene has good reason to be proud of her son who has his own theater on the strip across from the Monte Carlo. The Tommy Wind theater’s Masters of Illusion is a must see. Tommy has been performing magic tricks since age seven and his show combines music, magic and martial arts for a unique experience. Tommy is also a musician - electric guitar, piano, violin, drums and a magician with a Merlin Award in 2016, Magician of the Year for TV’s World Magic Awards and TV shows such as Chriss Angel’s Mindfreak under his “black” belt. Hailing from Staten Island NY, Tommy has made this a family business, with wife Stacy, on stage, and mom/actress, Arlene, backstage and out front promoting the show when she isn’t acting in other local productions. Arlene was a dancer on Broadway and in West Side Story! Quite a lady Photo by Bill Fales and the nicest stage mom we’ve ever met.

We use these same skills when we help with events such as ANTHEM AUTHORS marathons and bike-a-thons; fund-raisers such as walk-a-thons; Anthem Authors enjoy participating in the celebrations such as parades; and exhibits at fairs, malls and craft fairs hosted by the Anthem Association museums — these are all large, preplanned, non-emergency during the year.

Production costs are high enough so that simply giving these books away is unlikely to be an option. Whether selling ebooks or paperbacks, participation in craft fairs is an opportunity for authors to practice the art of self-promotion, which they need to study and master as much as the art of writing itself. Digital publishing requires patience as well as access to the internet, and club members can offer advice. A collection of books on writing is available for use by Anthem Authors.

Anthem Author Club Vice President, Dave Price for writers. Before manuscripts could be distributed via the internet and read on computer screens, the distribution of personal memoirs and similar works was limited by the expense of photocopying, while the finished work, possibly bound in a three- ring binder, was awkward and inconvenient to read and store. Today an entire digitized book or ebook occupies only a tiny fraction of a computer’s memory. For those willing to step up to the plate and meet the formatting requirements, they can be sold or given away over the internet, without the direct involvement of the author. An ebook can be distributed almost like a message that is corked up in a bottle and cast into the sea--only there is no limit to the number of digital bottles that can be set adrift in pursuit of a favorable reading or at least a reading. Traditional publishing, where the author must meet the de- manding standards of a professional editor before his work goes before the public, is still alive and well. Some Anthem Authors have achieved success in this arena. Because of another miracle of electronics and automation, it’s now practical to print paperback books in limited numbers from ebooks. This is how many of the moderately priced books displayed and sold at craft fairs by Anthem Authors are produced. A suitable June 2018 | Sun City Anthem | 33 Clubs

ARTS & CRAFTS

The Arts and Crafts Club, which meets in Independence Center, consists of 15 shared interest groups, with activity levels ranging from beginning to advanced.

Intermediate Card Making group technique results in embossed designs. A straight edge ensures the message (a particular shape, text, etc.) is aligned as desired. Background colors are “smudged” using make-up sponges and/ or art brushes, or using a standard pencil eraser. A “puncher” creates various shapes for labels, which are stamped with various messages (Happy Birthday, Ooh La La!, Thank You, etc.). Many cards are decorated on the outside, but left blank on the inside so that these cards may be customized for any occasion. Once a month, a member of the group presents three or more distinct designs, explains the process and provides all necessary materials. New members are welcome throughout the year, but it is very important to contact the group leader prior to attending a workshop to ensure that sufficient supplies are available. Many artists at this level have card making materials and tools at home. Parties interested in joining this group are asked to bring (at minimum) scissors and a paper trimmer. At present, there is no Beginning Card Making group, although members of the Intermediate group would be more than happy to assist in starting a group for beginners. For more information, please contact group leader, Robin Kelley, at (702) 250-3493, or [email protected]. June 2018 | Sun City Anthem | 35 Clubs

Slowly, Li-yan, one of the few educated girls on her mountain, begins to reject the customs that shaped her early life. When she has a baby out of wedlock— conceived with a man her parents consider a poor choice—she rejects the tradition that would compel her to give the child over to be killed, and instead leaves her, wrapped in a blanket with a tea cake tucked in its folds, near an orphanage in a nearby city. As Li-yan comes into herself, leaving her insular village for an education, a business, and city life, her daughter, Haley, is raised in California by loving adoptive parents. Despite her privileged childhood, Haley wonders about her origins. Across the ocean Li-yan longs for her lost daughter. Over the course of years, each searches for meaning in the study of Pu’er, the tea that has shaped their family’s destiny for centuries.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa See, “one of those special writers capable of delivering both po- etry and plot” (The New York Times Book Review), a moving novel about tradition, tea farming, and the bonds between mothers and daughters. In their remote mountain village, Li-yan and her family align their lives around the seasons and the farming of tea. For the Akha people, ensconced in ritual and routine, life goes on as it has for generations— until a stranger appears at the village gate in a jeep, the first automobile any of the villagers has ever seen.

This month, we are repeating our well-attended summer lunch at Giuseppe’s Restaurant. The date is Friday, June 22 at noon. Club members should be on the lookout for your email invitation. Reservations are required for this event. It’s a great way to meet club members you may not know and stay out of your hot kitchen at home.

In August, we look forward to meeting in South Point’s Grandview Lounge to watch the running of the Arlington Million, a great Chicago tradition of horse racing. This is another annual event and last year our attendance doubled! It’s a fun afternoon of camaraderie, hot dogs and beer. Kind of like a ball game, only in air-conditioned comfort. This past spring, our club took full advantage of our beautiful spring weather with three terrific outdoor events. In March, it was a day at Cashman Field watching our Chicago Cubbies have a big win over the Cleveland Indians. In April, over 60 of our members enjoyed a “sold out” lunch at the Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings. settlers in Las Vegas did their shopping in Goodsprings? Neither (See the accompanying photos).

Since June may as well be known as a lovers’ month because many an affianced young woman desires to be a “June bride”, the HARANA, or Philippine serenade, has an apparent connection, albeit romantically. The harana is a traditional courtship ritual (mostly done in the prov- inces) which started from the Spanish colonial period. However, according to Professor Felipe de Leon Jr. of the University of the Philippines, “the harana is ingrained in the Filipino culture, as it was practiced by our ancestors” even before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s.

Shirley and Riley Tips for Keeping your Dogs Safe in the Heat from Cesar Milan: • Walk them early in the morning or late at night. Keep an eye out for coyotes! • Keep your pets hydrated! Give them lots of cold water to drink and, if they get very hot, wet them down by spraying them everywhere, including their paws and underbellies. • If your dog thinks it’s too hot outside, it is! Listen to what your pet is telling you. A dehydrated dog will be lethargic, pant excessively, and have blood shot eyes. Act quickly to cool your pet down and get him to a vet. • Never leave your pet in a hot car. Ever. Have a safe summer everyone!

Meet Carol Yu, a founding member of the SCA Scrabble Club since 2002. My husband, Fermin, and I closed on our home here in sunny Sun City Anthem on October 10, 2000. After spending the holidays in

Carol Yu invites YOU to come in to play Scrabble. our home in Warren, Ohio, we came back to SCA in January with our two cats. Although Henderson became our official residence, we continued to maintain our home in Ohio. Traveling back and forth with two cats was not easy. We made 39 one-way trips by air, and six by car, with one or both of the cats over the next thirteen years. They always traveled in the cabin with us—never in cargo. Animals must be taken out of their carriers to go through security. Fortunately, neither became “spooked” with the hustle and bustle of the airport and escaped when we took them from their carriers. In fact, both were quite Fernin and Carol Yu anxious to get back into their carriers as soon as possible. 62 | Sun City Anthem | June 2018 Both of our girls, of 15 and 18 years, have gone to wherever good cats go when they pass on. Although I miss them, I must say, traveling without them is certainly a lot easier. Because we were only living here off and on, I did not join any clubs until we returned in the fall of 2002. Aquasize was the first activity I joined. I still do exercises in the water, but not as often as I should. In November of that year, I joined the Scrabble Club. It was the first club that I joined and the only club that I have consistently maintained membership. It had been many years since I had played Scrabble, but I had always enjoyed it as a child, so I decided to try playing again. I admit it was a little intimidating to join. I have always been shy, and I was afraid everyone would be tournament-level players. For anyone who has thought about joining, but is of the same mindset that I was, I want to say, “Stop in any Friday, just to try us out.” Our members are all levels of skill and one of the nicest and friendliest groups you will find in SCA. Come join Carol and our other members on Fridays from 1 to 5 p.m., in the Emerson/Franklin Rooms. You are welcome to come anytime during our sessions. Carol is our Game Planner and is always thinking of ways to make the games more exciting so that she can distribute prizes. Yearly dues - $10. Word of the month – ARIL - an outer covering of certain seeds. (Anagrams of aril are lair, liar, lira, rail, rial) John Cochran SEWING & QUILTING Yes Virginia, real men do sew!!! And…they belong to the Sewing & Quilting Club. This month’s article features three of our male members and their many accomplishments. John Cochran moved to SCA from California. He worked as a Technical Director for the soap opera General Hospital. He did not have a sewing background, but when his son bought a motor home and had it outfitted with décor items in the Zebra look, he decided to surprise him. He started out making, you guessed it, zebra theme placemats and aprons for his son and girlfriend. The son works for ABC and often joked that he could not show the items to his co-workers because real men don’t sew. That’s where the introduction line in this article comes from. John has just finished making the tee-shirt quilt, pictured here, for his son. It took him three years, but he did it! John also plays the harmonica with a group of musicians. He has just finished a tote bag with separate pockets to hold his eight harmonicas. Lewis Fuller didn’t have far to move to settle here in SCA. He relocated from Seven Hills. He is originally from New Jersey and worked as a designer, architect and computer manager. He has been quilting for 18 years and has his own quilting machine. When asked what interested him in quilting, he told me that one day at work while having his lunch, he didn’t have anything to read. He found one of his co-workers’ quilting magazines and was intrigued by the pictures. He then began the quest to put Lewis Fuller geometric images into quilts. Most of the quilts that he has made Jerry Peterson has lived here for eight years, relocating from contain photos that he has taken himself, printed onto fabric and Washington, D.C. He was a military brat and an enlisted member incorporated into quilts. The picture of Lew and his quilt in this of the military. He has traveled all over the world.

This is one of the easiest to learn and we often play it at family gatherings, with kids of all ages. Every Monday we have the opportunity to play Shanghai Rummy in the Emerson/Franklin Room in the main club house with some lovely people you will assuredly enjoy. The game is played by three to five people, using three decks of cards. Most tables play for a small prize, but it is the choice of each table. One game takes about an hour, most tables play two or three rounds, one plays four -- and our table laughs and talks so much, we get one game done in about 1 3/4 hours. Come and join us. Call Secretary, Shirley LaChance, at (702) 837-9924. The game begins at 11 a.m. Friendship enriches our world at every age.
