Payments made by property own-ers in outside collections totaled $14,467 in June and July with

payments from 36 property owners. During the last 2 months our internal collector processed payments from past due property owners totaling $117,013 and property related transfer fees totaling $204,720. Both of these continued a downward trend from May.

Payments on past due balances scaled back to average from May’s high. May and June billings went past due at a 7.8% rate, higher than last month but just under the monthly average. The rate for April and May balances going over 60 days past due was at 4.0%, which is also below the average rate for the last year. At the end of July, outstanding balances related to prop-erty transfers increased by 5.7% and now represent 53% of receivables due and 50% of past due balances. The net accounts receivable change was 1.5% for June and July indicating that new property transfers outpaced payments.

Property trustee sale notices on Sun City properties decreased to 93 at the end of July while the number of bank owned properties stayed fl at at 73 properties owned by lenders.

The Preservation and Improve-ment Fees collected in June and July decreased, as anticipated, to $1,044,000 for the 2 months and was 54% over budget. Year to date PIF fees are $1,772,275, or 70%, over budget.

At the end of July we converted the facilities attendants at our Centers to the same program used in Cardholder Services and the golf courses. This allows us to have a single view of card-holders and provide consistent ser-vicing throughout our facilities. Our facilities attendants will now have real time up to date information rather than relying on a nightly updating process.

As we look forward to the elec-tions in 2012, we can see that we will be making choices at

all levels of Government as well as the Governing Board of the Recre-ation Centers of Sun City. We might ponder the question, which is more important; after all it could take an awful lot of time to evaluate all the candidates. While this is true, it is worth the time that is invested to feel confi dent in the choice you have made. It is important that you, and only you, make the choice when selecting the person that you vote for. How do you make the determination to vote for any individual? Probably, the best thing you can do is to do your own evalu-ation on the person.

The Recreation Centers of Sun City tries to help you in that process by requiring that each candidate for offi ce provide a copy of his/her bio-graphical sketch and make it avail-able at each recreation center. In addition, there will be a number of quorums scheduled that will pro-vide you, the members, an oppor-tunity to listen to the candidate’s presentations and ask any specifi c questions that you might have. This exposure to the candidates will give you some idea as to who she/he is and what they stand for.

At the county and state level, there

are similar opportunities to get to know the candidates. At this point, I am not sure that RCSC will off er any opportunities to interact with those candidates seeking offi ces at the county level, but you can bet that there will be plenty of adver-tising for the position of Sheriff of Maricopa County around Sun City. The state level is, again, where we should take the time to evaluate each candidate. There are at least four candidates running for two positions in the legislature, and there are at least two individuals running for a position in the State Senate. It is important that you evaluate each of these candidates since they are critical part of your life in Sun City. They make deci-sions regarding you as resident of Arizona, and as a resident of Sun City. There will be some quorums featuring the candidates com-peting for these positions which will give you the opportunity to look them in the eye, and ask that important question; the one that is most important to you.

Whether you are seeking informa-tion on RCSC Board candidate quo-rums or those focused on county and state candidates, I am suggest-ing that you attend at least one of those forums and get to know the candidates. We, RCSC, will be publishing a schedule indicating the date, time, and location of the candidate’s forum for the Board of Directors. Most importantly, cast your ballot for the candidate of your choice, remember men and women before us have given their lives so that we could have the right to vote, so let’s use that right and use it wisely.

Pro Shops

Summer revenue continues to disap-point, with total revenue missing bud-get by $8755 and falling $1706 below prior year revenues. June started slowly and fell behind farther during a stretch of 110 degree days. Twenty four days in June exceeded the historical high. The above normal temperatures and an increasingly number of high end courses lowering their fees is put-ting pressure on our ability to generate increased revenues during the sum-mer months. We do however continue to enjoy your support in merchandise sales and driving range usage, both of which exceeded prior year’s sales.

The new “30 yard markers” are in the process of being installed on all of the courses. The wording and design of the sign were approved by golf advi-sory and were made by the Bell Metal Club. We thank the members of the Bell Metal Club for their eff orts in the construction of the signs. Golf Advi-sory chose to not use “30 yards” in the wording of the sign, so the signs could be moved, decreasing the chances of wear patterns developing around the signs.

Snack Shops

Snack shop revenue suff ered from the reduced activity on the golf courses.

For the month snack shop revenue missed budget by $4096, though rev-enues were slightly ahead of last year. We invite anyone who would like a hot breakfast or a quick lunch to try one of our 5 snack shops, we don’t think you will be disappointed.

Courses

The irrigation project at Lakes West has recovered from the early delays and is currently running several days ahead of schedule. We continue to water the areas that are completed on a sched-ule similar to overseeding. This will produce standing water in low areas and soggy conditions throughout the course. Water is turned off in an area for several days for irrigation work to be completed in this area. Following com-pletion of the work, the water is turned back on and the area is watered heavy until the grass is recovered and the aff ects of construction have been mini-mized. Some aff ects of construction can be expected to last even through overseeding.

Due to the overall lack of rain this year, we are currently over our yearly budget by 94.93 acre feet. We do have unused water credits purchased last year, these credits will be used to cover any over-age we will have this year.

Dear Golfers:A letter to Golfers on August 9, 2012 from Brian Duthu, PGA; Director of Golf for RCSC

The past several weeks I have received numerous comments, complaints and suggestions on the conditions of our golf courses. It is troubling to

hear these comments, as this time of year these com-ments are coming from our core group of golfers, which are our year round residents. I hope through the course of this letter I am able to satisfy some of the questions that have been circulating and ultimately describe the actions you can take to address them as well.

Summer is our peak growing season, particularly the monsoon season which begins the later part of July. This is the time of year we must complete the bulk of our maintenance practices. Aerifi cation is the most impactful to golfers, especially greens aerifi cation. The USGA recommends impacting 15% – 20% of a putting green surface per year, to keep the organic matter near the surface of the green under 3%. If this organic matter is not removed the resulting put-ting green surface would become spongy and prone to disease. In order to achieve 20% we conduct two aerifi cations. The fi rst aerifi cation is with a 1/2” tine and the second with a larger 5/8” tine. We do the larger tine aerifi cation second, as the bermuda grass is growing more aggressively and is able to recover more quickly. After the greens are aerifi ed they are “top dressed” with sand and in the case of the second aerifi cation a mixture of ground up “plugs” taken from the green during aerifi cation and sand.

This year many golfers have commented that we did not top dress adequately, particularly during the sec-ond aerifi cation. Please realize that the topdressing is designed to fi ll the holes to the soil surface. The putting greens are mowed to height of approximately 1/6” following aerifi cation. The height of the grass, surrounding a plug, will create a “hole” in the putting surface and makes putting frustrating. The amount of sand we use is designed to allow the greens to heal as quickly as possible. It is also important to note the these procedures are conducted in the same man-ner as they were prior to National Golf Maintenance taking over the maintenance of the golf courses, including the amount of sand used. We realize how impactful this process is to our summer golfers and appreciate your patience.

Transition is another painful process our summer golf-ers need to contend with. Transition begins in late spring and early summer and is the period in which the rye grass dying and the bermuda grass is not yet growing fast enough to fi ll in any resulting bare spots. Depending on weather rye grass can live well into June and is competing with our bermuda for “turf”. To alleviate this turf war, RCSC sprays four courses per year with an herbicide, which kills the rye grass but does not harm the bermuda. The resulting bare spots are frustrating to golfers, but allow the bermuda to recover more quickly. These bare spots appear in

the areas the berumda is the weakest, especially on courses that have been recently renovated, such as Willowcreek. As we move through this fi ve year pro-gram the eff ects will be less noticeable and the transi-tions shorter.

The USGA recommends a minimum of 100 days of growth for bermuda during the summer months prior to overseeding. Spraying our rye grass out assures us more than 100 days of growth and ensures that we have a solid base of bermuda prior to overseed-ing. This process is used at many courses throughout the Valley, despite the misconception that the Sun City courses are the only ones doing it. Our courses that do not spray will still suff er the eff ects of transi-tion; however the eff ects will be noticeable into July. This was evident at North and Willowcreek this year, as they went through a natural transition. The ber-muda planted at Willowcreek last year was even more susceptible, having undergone its fi rst overseed fol-lowing the renovation. It is normal for a course to experience turf issues two to three years following a renovation, this will apply to Lakes West in the next couple of years as well.

Now I would like to describe the ways that you, as a golfer, can have an impact. First, keep the com-ments coming; the most convenient way is through the comment cards available at each golf course. The comments we receive are important to us and we will respond promptly. Second, join a Green Commit-tee, comments and suggestions made at the course level are taken to Golf Advisory meetings for discus-sion and if deemed appropriate, acted upon. If you do not wish to join a Green Committee, you many still attend and express your concerns in the open forum. Third, attend the golf advisory meetings; you can see fi rsthand the items that are important to your fellow golfers and the actions that are being taken. Fourth, attend the Board/Member exchanges, currently held most months on the 1st and 3rd Monday at 9:00 a.m. at the Lakeview Center, beginning in 2013 (possibly sooner) the meetings will be held on the 2nd Monday of the month. All members, in good standing, have an opportunity to speak directly to the entire board on issues that are important to them. Fifth, run for the board; you will have direct infl uence on items that are important to the fellow members you represent. Finally, hunt me down; my offi ce is at Riverview and you are welcome to stop by to express your concerns. I can also be reached by phone or by email. I do my best to respond within 24 hours. Please feel free to stop me as well, if you see me while I am visiting the courses.

Please remember that many of the “facts” that are cir-culated are not always factual. Often they are formed by a well meaning member expressing an opinion, often laced with hyperbole. As this opinion is spread it begins to be taken as fact. I have heard much dis-

cussion lately that our courses were in better shape before we began using an outside maintenance com-pany. The core of the current maintenance team is made of the same people that performed their work as RCSC employees, including all of the Superinten-dents and the Director of Maintenance, John Snyder. This is just one example of an opinion becoming a “fact”.

In closing we ask that you remember we strive to provide a golf experience that is enjoyable as well as economical. Our staffi ng size is a fraction of the size of many of the high end courses in the area. Many of these courses are subsidized by the developer, solely to promote the sales of homes or home sites. We can-not compete with these courses either in the level of service or the quality of product. The low summer rates these courses off er make it diffi cult to compete, many of the courses that charge $100 or more in the winter can be played for $35 or $40 in the summer. These rates attract many of our residents, which puts additional strain on our budget. Our residents will bring back many ideas while playing these courses, not all of these ideas are fi scally responsible to on our courses. Plus as you take your money outside of Sun City, we have fewer resources with which to accom-plish our goals. Golf remains an important piece of the Sun City experience; however our decisions impact all RCSC members and need to remain responsible.

We thank everyone for your past and current support. Please remember that all course workers are human and as such will make mistakes. We will use these mistakes as a training opportunity in an attempt to avoid repeating them. They also continue to produce a quality product for a substantially lower cost than many of the courses around us. Please remember we also enjoy positive feedback, when it is warranted. Thank you for your time and happy golfi ng!!

Tips From Daily Fitness...

Maggie Thomas, a “regular” at the Bell Fitness Center, maintains her trim phy-sique by including abdominal exercises in her full-body workout program.

“One question I hear from active aging adults is, How Do I Get Rid of This Belly?, states Jane Fortier, personal trainer for Daily Fitness. “As we age, abdominal fat increases. Men and women experience changes in testosterone, estrogen & pro-

gesterone from age 50-60. Once this occurs, fat alloca-tion shifts to the abdominal area. Increased belly fat or vis-ceral fat is not only unsightly, but extremely unhealthy. It impairs the body’s ability to use insulin, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes. It triggers infl ammation that can cause heart disease. Strong evi-dence suggests that visceral fat creates a higher risk of rec-tal, pancreatic, endometrial, colon and breast cancer.”

“It’s impossible to spot-reduce the Belly,” Fortier notes. “Fitness magazines and videos that promise crunches, sit-ups and other abdominal exercises will banish belly fat are bogus. Abdominal exercises will defi nitely fi rm up abdominal muscle, but they will not reduce belly fat. Muscle and fat are two separate and distinct tissues, composed of entirely diff erent cells. Increasing muscle mass and decreasing body fat are individual processes. These processes can occur simultaneously, if an individual is focusing on changing body composition. A good strength training program will result in more “lean weight” and less “fat weight” over a period of time. Building muscle ANYWHERE burns fat EVERYWHERE. Specifi c areas like the belly will see a reduction in fat as an individual builds muscle throughout the entire body. Changing body composition to less fat and more muscle can be accomplished with a comprehensive exercise program that includes not only strength training, but cardiovascular work and fl exibility exercises.”

Daily Fitness personal trainers are experts at creating such programs. To learn more about personal training services at the various Sun City Fitness Centers, call Daily Fitness at 623-256-7901, or visit www.DailyFitnessLLC.com.

For me September is the beginning of the year. School starts, monthly meetings go back on schedule,

folks come back from vacations, TV resumes normal scheduling, football begins again – and so on and so forth. Maybe that’s a throw-back to when I had youngsters, but for better or worse, the “new year” is here and it is called 2012-13. My schedule has been co-opted lately by the Olympics. Wow, are those folks in great shape. Their stam-ina, talent and dedication are amazing. By the time you read this we will know just how many medals the USA has accumulated and who the heroes are; but they are all heroes to me for having the courage to even compete.

LIBRARY NEWSTo start off the “new” year, Shirley Beamer will discuss and sign her book “On the Edge of Somewhere”. For all of you who have always dreamed of going to see exciting sites in far away places, you must read this book. Shir-ley was very fortunate to have a long time, best friend, Carole Baldwin, who shared not only her dreams but her thirst for adventure and sense of humor. Just reading the chapter titles was enough to get me inter-ested. They went to “edges” not only somewhere, but everywhere. I’m sure hearing Shirley tell about their adven-tures will be even better than reading about them, but you will want to do both. Come and listen. Friends will also have Shirley’s books available for sale at this event. September 22nd in the “North Wing” program room At the Bell branch. 10:00 am. Friends will also have Shirley’s books available for sale at this event. Fairway and the Friends will present Professor Betty Fahlman for a discussion and power point pre-sentation of Arizona’s women artists. The early Arizona art community was mostly women and Prof. Fahlman will explore the varied careers of fi ve of these talented artists. The discussion will take place in Arizona Room 1 at Fairway recreation center on Monday, September 10th at 1:00 p.m.

BOOK CLUBSWednesday, September 5th at 1:30pm Mystery Book Club : A Duty to the Dead by Charles Todd

Thursday, September 27th at 1:30 pm Fiction Book Club: I Still Dream About You y Fannie Flagg

some new friends.

VOLUNTEERSOur Volunteer of the Month for Septem-ber is Sara Kuykendall. She has been a resident of Sun City for eleven years and a volunteer at the library for that entire time. Originally from Cambridge, Wisconsin, her journey to Arizona was interrupted by a stay in Kempner, Texas, but she fi nally made it to Sun City in March of 2001 with her husband. The family includes four children, two of whom reside in Arizona and two in Texas. When Sara started working in the library her duties included the book check in/check out station, shelv-ing, the reference desk and fi lling in for absent workers where-ever needed. This makes her a real helpful volunteer with lots of experience and knowledge. She does have a life outside of the library and that includes square danc-ing, quilting, miniature golf, exercise and attending concerts. You wouldn’ t think that left much time for anything else, but she also does various types of needlework and plays the piano. A real multi-talented lady. If you would like to meet Sara, try the library on a Wednes-day morning and introduce yourself and thank her for her many hours of volunteering at the library. Congratu-lations Sara, we are proud to have you as our Volunteer of the Month.

FRIENDS NEWSIn line with the start of the year, the Friends of the Sun City Libraries will resume board meetings At 9:30 am, Thursday, September 13th. As usual the meeting will be in the “North Wing” program room in the Bell branch. All who are interested are welcome to attend. If you have ideas, questions, or complaints, this is the time to voice them. We are still taking applications for two positions as board member. Since we will have two vacancies this year and two next year, please apply if you are interested in the continued success and further improvements in the library. Friends will be sponsoring a book sale at the Fairway branch library on September 25th from 9:00 am till 4:00 pm. Several tables of books will be there staff ed by Friends members. All the books will be for sale at half the normal book store price. A real bargain for early Christmas shopping or just stocking up for winter reading. The library is located on the west end of the Fairway Recreation Center building that faces on Peoria Avenue. Come in and check out the sale and the library itself. You will fi nd it a very pleasant and friendly place.

Then: ’56 …… a year that featured Coup de Villes & drive-in movies, Ed Sul-

livan and Milton Berle in your living room every week, Mickey Mantle leading

the Yankees to the pennant and Grace Kelly leaving Hollywood’s silver screen to

become a Princess. Elvis had 4 Top Ten hits that year, alongside Dean Martin and

The Platters, and he became a movie star --- all in 1956.

Now: ’56 ….. four amaz-

ing musicians, individu-

ally accomplished in other

genres, come together to

ask this question: What if

all those legends from Sun

Records and the Louisiana

Hayride never went to Holly-

wood, never made TV shows

and movies but, were still just

playin’? What if Chuck Berry,

Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash,

Roy Orbison, Gene Vincent,

Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins

and even Elvis were going to

be playin’ this Saturday night

downtown at the civic audito-

rium in your town?

’56 brings back to life one of

the purest forms of American

Roots music and lays it down with style. From blues-tinged, hip-shakin’ rockers

like “Johnny B. Goode” and “Shake, Rattle & Roll” to the sultry, starlight ballads

of “Fever” or “Love Me”, Bret’s silky-smooth, powerful vocals make every female

swoon and the fellas want to run out and race with their buddies for pinks! The

ethereal twang of Tom’s Gretsch Falcon on tunes like “Sleepwalk” and “Honey

Don’t” are reminiscent of Carl Perkins/Brian Setzer/Duane Eddy while Austins’

wing-tipped acrobatics on the stand-up bass have to be seen to be believed!

And with Jeff laying down the beat on the drums – wait ‘til you see both of them

simultaneously duel it out on “Mystery Train” – unbelievable! Make your reser-

vation for this dinner show in the Lakeview Club Offi ce at 7:30 am to 4:00 pm,

Monday through Friday.

‘56 Rock and Roll Band is performing at the Union Hills Country Club located at

9860 West Lindgren Avenue in Sun City on Saturday, November 10 with happy

hour at 5:00 pm, dinner served at 6:00 pm and the performance at 7:15 pm.

Tickets are $30 per person and available for RCSC cardholders and their guests.

All tables are round and hold 10 people per table. If you have friends who want

to sit together, we can accommodate at the time of the ticket purchase, as well

as requiring food choices for each attendee in your group. Dinner is served buf-

fet style and includes Garden Salad with choice of 3 dressings, a carving station

with Baron of Beef, Roasted Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Chicken or Beef Gravy,

Vegetable Medley, Rolls and Butter, assorted pies for dessert, and to drink cof-

fees and teas. If you have dietary needs, please let us know at the time of your

reservation.

As an added feature, there will be 50’s and early 60’s cars parked in the half circle

drive-way of the country club for you to observe and direct questions to the car

owners. So, put your 50’s glad-rags on and grab your best gal or guy – ’56 is here

and you do not want to miss this show!

This is Glenda’s third year as president and club members have asked Glenda to run for president for a fourth year with special permission from RCSC and fi lling out a special form. When Glenda became president, January 2010, Glenda’s goals were to make Bell Ceramics the best club in Sun City. How does Glenda do it? Any Sun City residents with rec cards are welcome to join the

club, to feel accepted and to take the beginners class to learn ceramics as a hobby. The beginner’s class teacher works closely with each new student to become successful at painting and glazing ceramics.

Glenda Averill is seen in the Bell Ceramics club room daily examining what needs to be done to make it a better place for club mem-bers. Glenda asked permission to put attractive displays in glass showcase by the front door changing displays monthly. Glenda took photos of club members and club events and creatively designed attractive displays.

Bell Ceramics needed a historian so Glenda volunteered and updated scrapbooks. Then the club room computer wasn’t working so Glenda removed the computer and installed one that would work for the club. Then the copy machine wasn’t working right so Glenda priced copy machines and asked club members to vote for which machine to purchase. Glenda purchased and installed it. Then Glenda gave instruction for use. Glenda also does club publicity.

Time for club fun? No problem. Glenda became social chairman, planning one special party a year. 2010 was a brunch with free food for hard working volunteer monitors. 2011 was a special history of Bell Ceramics 35 years. Glenda researched, wrote article, and had a party with food. 2012 Glenda honored the 80´s ladies with a very special party for them and all club members. 80´s ladies are those club members who are at least 80 years old and have been members in good standing for at least 10 years. A few months before the party, Glenda gave each lady a form with questions about their lives. Then Glenda typed their life stories, took their photo, and made a beautiful scrapbook which is in the club room.

Bell Ceramics has 9 board meetings yearly and 9 general membership meetings yearly. Glenda comes prepared to conduct meetings properly. Glenda also has respect for all suggestions placed in locked suggestion box with or without signatures and takes action where needed. Glenda respects RCSC, CC&Rs and also COC, Dorothy Hirtzel.

Bell Ceramics is a great place to spend time as club member’s work and have fun together.

Thanks to Glenda Averill.

SUN CITY SNAPSHOTS “I just got back from my 1st session at the Line Dancing Club at Sundial. OMG, there are not words to describe what a fun time I had at this Club. A friend and I decided to go, and I have never had such a warm welcome at any Club in Sun City. So many of the members came up to us to wel-come us and encourage us, it was unbelievable. “

“I wanted to let the RCSC know that the Board of the Line Dance Club should be congratulated for the way their members promote their Club and are so kind to new members, no wonder they have the huge mem-bership they have each year. They are a true testament to what makes Sun City a wonderful community to live and play in...”

Dating back to 1884, back when Arizona was still a territory and not yet a state, the Arizona State Fair has been enter-taining and delighting folks of all ages in the Grand Canyon State. From its humble beginnings as the Arizona Territorial Fair, featuring horse, pony, and mule races as well as agricultural and home economics exhibits to its modern day form, it has been the main fall attraction for families in the state for over 100 years. The fair still features livestock and agri-cultural exhibits in addition to art and photography shows, big name concerts (admission to most concerts is free with your fair admission), shows of every imaginable type, and -- of course -- all kinds of foods that are bad for you (and the kind of rides that make you wish you had never eaten them) and available for purchase on your own. $22 pp. Thursday, October 25 (Depart 11:15 am, Return 4:45 pm

If you would like to learn how to play, the Mah Jongg club is off ering a series of free lessons October 19 and 26 from 12:00 to 4:00 pm and November 1 from 8:00 am to noon. All sessions are at Marinette Recreation Center. Participants should plan on attending all three lessons.

GENE SCHARER, HEATHER MACRE AND SHERI VAN HORSEN WILL ADDRESS THE SUN CITY DEMOCRATIC CLUB’S SEPTEMBER 6TH MEETING

Sun City, AZ, August 1, 2012 -- Gene Scharer, Heather Macre and Sheri Van Horsen

will address the Sun City Democratic Club meeting on September 6, announced

Carolyn Modeen, Program Chair.

The meeting will be held at the Fairway Recreation Center, located at Peoria and

107th Avenues. It will begin at 6:30pm. A social period with coff ee and cookies will

begin at 6:00.

Scharer, candidate for the U.S. Congress, characterizes himself as a progressive

Democrat. “I selected as my slogan “Restoring the American Dream” because I

believe too many members of Congress have sold out to corporations. They are

largely to blame for the erosion of opportunity in our country. That opportunity

can only be restored by a Congress that puts people fi rst,” he stated.

Scharer entered politics in 1998 as the Democratic nominee who challenged the

late U.S. Rep. Bob Stump in 2000. Although unsuccessful in that bid, he received

almost 95,000 votes and gained valuable experience.

After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1969 with a major in social

studies, he began a teaching career at Genesee, Michigan High School, where he

taught history and coached basketball. In 1970, he was drafted by the U.S. Army

and served two years as an artilleryman. He returned to teaching in 1973 in the

Millington, Michigan School District.

Scharer moved his family to Arizona to be near his wife’s family in 1986. He sold

real estate, and then became an owner-operator with Roadway Services. In Janu-

ary of 1993, he accepted a teaching position with the Glendale Union High School

District, where he taught until he retired in 2009.

Macre, candidate for the Central Arizona Water Conservation District, will discuss

the CAWCD, her campaign and platform. Macre currently serves on the Phoenix

Environmental Quality Commission and is a member of the Arizona League of

Conservation Voters Education Fund Board. As an attorney, she has worked on

water quality and land conservation matters.

As a Board Member of the Arizona League of Conservation Voters Education Fund,

Macre planned and hosted Earth Night, the Valley’s premiere Earth Day celebra-

tion and the AZLCV Education Fund’s main fundraising event. She educates voters

on the importance of the interplay of politics and the environment with a specifi c

focus on preserving Arizona’s natural environment.

Macre received her JD degree from the University of Florida, Levin College of Law

in 2005.

Van Horsen is running for the State Legislature in District 21. She thinks that too

many of our legislators are not paying attention to the residents, that lobby-

ists have too much infl uence on legislators, and that they are making Arizonans

second-class citizens.

Van Horsen is President of the American Federation of State, County, and Munici-

pal Employees Local 3111. She worked for more than 20 years in the Attorney

General’s Offi ce and as deputy director of constituent services for former Gov.

Janet Napolitano.

Van Horsen earned a Paralegal degree from Fullerton College in California, studied

pre-law, with a minor in computer science.

Van Horsen is married to Michael Tarrats, who is running for the State Senate.
