SUMMER PROJECTS AT SVE

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER ,

The day formally recognized as the end of World War II

One of the best known kisses that year appeared on the cover of Life magazine. Shortly after the announcement by President Truman that the war was over people began to gather in celebration. Alfred Eisenstaedt went to Times Square to take candid photographs and spotted a sailor who “grabbed something in white. And I stood there, and they kissed. And I snapped four times.”

While many people claimed to

be the sailor and nurse, it has since been established that the woman in the photograph was Greta Zimmer Friedman, and the sailor George Mendonca

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER ,

Labor Day—It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of the country.

The new fl ooring installed in many of the rooms at the north complex was paid for entirely from Sunday night Bingo revenue. Thank you to Bingo managers Ken and Lydia Sobiech for Bingo’s sponsorship. Residents, please attend Sunday night Bingo. It’s another way to help keep Association dues down.

The construction of a much needed storage shed is fi nished. We took an existing 4 foot, horseshoe shaped

structure by the tire pump at the north complex and turned it into a fully functional storage shed for our maintenance staff .

The north pool complex reroofi ng project is fi nished. During construction the north pool complex was closed for a short time. Thanks for your patience and understanding during construction.

Additional projects scheduled for completion this summer include new solar panels at the north pool complex, updates on the bocce ball courts and

painting the bocce ball benches, as well as the auditorium. Listen Technology will be installed in the auditorium.

Phoenix

CHAPEL NOTESSome years ago, a New York

columnist set out to prove that no one really listens to one another. He went to a party and arrived late. The hostess greeted him and he explained why he was late. “I had to stop along the way and murder my mistress,” he said, “and it took longer than I thought.”

Without blinking an eye, the hostess said she understood perfectly, “I was almost late myself; everyone is quite busy. Enjoy yourself. Have a good time.”

As the columnist mingled around the party, someone asked him what he did for a living. He said, “Oh, I am the executioner for the state p enitentiary.”

The person said without reaction, “Well, that must be an interesting line of work. How does business look this year?’’

That may be an extreme example but it is does make a point, We don’t listen very well.

But here is example of listening well beyond what most of us could do.

A Native American and his friend were

in downtown New York City, walking near Times Square in Manhattan. It was during the noon lunch hour and the streets were fi lled with cars and the pavements packed with people.

Suddenly, the Native American said, “I hear a cricket.”

His friend said, “What? You must be crazy. You couldn’t possibly hear a cricket in all of this noise!”

“No, I’m sure of it,” the Native American said. “I heard a cricket.”

He listened carefully for a moment, and then walked across the street to a nearby planter where some shrubs were growing. He looked into the bushes, beneath the branches, and sure enough, he located a small cricket.

His friend was amazed. “That’s incredible. You must have super-human ears!”

“No,” said the Native American. “My ears are no diff erent from yours. It all depends on what you’re listening for.”

His friend could not believe him. “Here, let me show you.” He reached

into his pocket, pulled out a few coins, and dropped them on the sidewalk.

In the midst of all the noise, heads turn and people look to the ground to see if the money dropped was theirs.

The key is we can hear when we decide what to listen for.

Back in the Old Testament, a very signifi cant event happened in the middle of the night. Samuel a young man was sleeping in the tabernacle with his mentor Eli. All at once Samuel heard his name being called. He jumped out of bed and ran to Eli. But the old man Eli said I did not call. It happened again and again - Samuel came running to Eli. Finally Eli says, if you get a call again, say, “Speak Lord for your servant is listening.” Samuel did just that and it was the Lord calling him and he did not know it. God the gave instructions to young Samuel on what he wanted him to do.

It is amazing what we hear when we know what we are listening for. If we listen for the voice of God we just may hear it.

Thank YouI would like to extend a Thank You to the residents

of SVE for all your friendship over the years.Thank you for all the birthday greetings I received

on my 99th birthday.Edith Lively

Long Range Planning CommitteePaul Christoff ers

The Power of YOUHave you ever thrown a pebble into a pond and watched

the ripples? Even a small pebble creates rings that keep getting larger and larger – ripples.

YOU hold the power for our village. Put the Ripple Eff ect to work. There is no idea or suggestion that is too small. Your idea may start a ripple – ever expanding until it matures into a wonderful and great project for our village.

The temptation is to enjoy our own good fortune without appreciating those who came before us to make our great community what it is today, or without taking responsibility for those who will come after us (those who will someday purchase your home).

What should our village look like in one year, fi ve years or ten years? What needs to change? What needs to stay the same? How can we improve?

Your Long Range Planning Committee needs your input – this is your community and your opportunity to share in this exciting process.

Please share your ideas, vision, and thoughts with any of the committee members; deliver them to the HOA offi ce; or email your comments to: [email protected]

Your LRPC thanks you - Ralph McMillan, Sue Hensley, Joann Peek, Lin-Da Stougard, Diana Loram and Paul Christoff ers, LRPC Chairperson.

sportsFITNESS CENTER

Gary ChestekThis month, I’d like to pay tribute to

one of our residents who recently passed, Taft Jenkins. He was a living example of one with a passion for activity and frequent visitor to our fi tness center.

Taft was a believer in pursuing a quality life through the values of physical fi tness and activities. He was an incredibly strong man for his age and frequently participated in the Arizona Senior Olympics. In a recent conversation with Taft, I could tell how proud he was for the recognition received through his weight lifting competitions at the annual Senior Games. We are going to miss his presence and life of inspiration in our community and in particular the fi tness center.

We may not infl uence the longevity of life; however, we can determine the quality. Taft’s life challenges me to make the most of every day, including taking care of the body we are given. When it comes to maintaining or improving our life and lifestyle, scientifi c evidence continues to support regular walking and activity/exercise. I trust you, too, will be challenged to continue your activity regardless of your ability level.

TENNIS TALKSandy Saxena

Summer monsoon rains were plentiful around SVE this year, bringing much sought relief from the heat. With the temperatures dipping below 100, the ocotillo sprouted leaves again and some cacti bloomed like it was spring. Wonderful: cooler [relatively speaking] temperatures and spring fl owers in August.

We’re now looking forward to the return of our vacationing neighbors, all of those that have taken short breaks and those that left in the spring. Why wait any longer? We’ve got good weather, greenery and fl owers! Come on down to this lovely tennis resort known as SVE and bring all your tennis equipment. Dig out that idle racket, dust off those spiff y shoes and wash your best moisture-wicking tennis shirt. Remember to bring your water bottles, since you’ll be playing in this dry Arizona climate. Don’t forget to prepare your body for the onslaught of sore muscles and aching joints. Take some walks and/or go the gym to stretch those little used muscles and work on building up you stamina.

There will be many events for the Tennis Club beginning in October: Team practice will begin on October 23 along with instruction and coaching; SVE tennis players will participate in the Venture Out Fall Classic for doubles starting on October 30; and EVSTL League play starts on November 6. There will be lots of social events for the Tennis Club throughout the year as well.

Whether you’re new in the village, or just haven’t considered it before, join us to play next season in league. Contact John Masquelier for rating and team information at 775-762-6422 or [email protected]. You can also get information on the SVE Tennis Club website, https://sites.google.com/site/svetennis/, where you’ll fi nd other useful information and a list of the c lub’s offi cers.

We do encourage you to come to the courts now and try your hand at tennis. You’ll fi nd people around the courts early in the morning, having way too much fun, enjoying the game of tennis.

See you at the courts!

Superstition Seniors Mixed Bowling LeagueCoreen Renner

It’s that time of year to begin thinking of the beginning of our bowling season for 2017 - 2018.

A “Welcome Back Get Together” for all returning bowling members will be held in the Mesa Verde Room in Sunland Village East on Monday, October 30, 2017 at 4:30 pm. We hope to see all of you who are interested in bowling this season and possibly new bowlers.

PICKLEBALLPaula Henry

Fall is in the air in many places across our beautiful country. The weather changes for many of us automatically start us thinking about Arizona sunshine, friends and activities at Sunland Village East. Many of us start thinking about fl ights or long drives, closing summer homes to open winter homes and what to pack in our suitcases for our journey.

Regardless of where we live, or where we are going, at the top of the packing list will be our pickleball bags. Play has continued at SVE early mornings with 3 full courts starting at 6:30 a.m. in an attempt to “beat the heat”. The courts were also cleaned over the summer. Thanks to John, Bob, and Dennis for doing the cleaning!

We have found, in our home state of New York, growing options for pickleball play with an increase in both outdoor and indoor courts. In following Arizona friends on Facebook, it would appear that many of us have been playing and honing our skills and will be excited to rejoin those who have continued to play at SVE this summer.

Our club meetings are the 2nd Sunday of each month October through April from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. A new court schedule for the fall will soon be posted at the courts. Come join us and play p ickleball.

LADIES GOLFGayLynn Brewer

Summer golf and the eclectic completion for the ladies will end on September 27th when the course closes for annual over-seeding. The planned date for reopening is October 16th.

We are looking forward to the return of our friends who have spent the last few months at their summer homes. Mark your calendars for the beginning of the fall schedule with a scramble and social on October 17th.

If you are new to the village or haven’t played golf for a while, now is the perfect time to join the league. New members are welcome anytime during the year. Additional information and applications forms are available in the Pro Shop. Call (480)-794-1093 for information.

COUPLES GOLFSandi Slater

For many years the golf couples have had a reunion in the summer, and this year it was held in Deadwood, SD, where 34 people attended. On Monday, anyone who wanted to golf got a foursome together and drove to the Spearfi sh Canyon Country Club to enjoy 18 holes. Later we attended a cocktail party and chatted with friends we had not seen since the spring. The next morning

we car pooled to the Elkhorn Ridge Golf Course where we were instructed not to pick up any wayward golf balls in the tall grass because snakes are protected in South Dakota! We attended another cocktail party in the evening, where winners were announced. Thank you to Kelli Dies, daughter of Ardis and Bob Golay, for sponsoring a hole and providing wine for prizes. Kudos to the c ommittee for arranging this special event!

BOCCE CLUB NEWSLois Wierenga

DEAR GOD: IS IT POSSIBLE TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY?

I think the warranty on my body has expired and I need to know if it can be extended. It’s pretty wrinkled and doesn’t look like it used to. Some of the interior parts and pieces don’t work as well as they should either. My shock absorbers need a knee replacement. My hoses are getting clogged. My bones are stiff and make funny noises. My feet smell and my nose runs (something backwards there). The view through the windshield is fuzzy and unclear. The volume on the radio is way too low. Acceleration has slowed considerably and the mileage between fuel stops continues to drop at an alarming rate. Thank you, God, I expect I’ll hear from you sooner than later. In the meantime, I’m going to the jam session at the auditorium to enjoy myself. It’s every Friday from 12:30 to 2:45 and it’s free. The music is fantastic; they have a 50/50 raffl e and there’s a well-stocked concession stand. Come on along; you’ll love it!

DOGS ‘R USL.Paulsen

My name is Chico! I’m a chihuahua. My owner thinks I have a bit of an attitude and lots of love. In fact, my nickname is “LoveBug”. I like to snuggle and cuddle and enjoy hiding in pillows and throws on chairs and couches. When my owner leaves, I sit on a chair watching out the window

until she comes home. Traveling is just the best because I’m so easy to take along. We have logged at least 70K highway miles in the last 7 years and have also traveled by plane several times. I’m happy as long as I can go with her. She thinks I’m the best dog ever and I love that she feels that way. Her name is Janet Brewer, and she’s the best friend a dog could have.

Our c lub will have a business meeting Saturday, September 16, Mesa Verde room, 9:30 a.m. All dog lovers welcome. FHE

She will play both familiar and unusual music for us as well as tell us about the charity she has founded, the Therapeutic Harp Foundation, which performs soothing music in hospitals and private facilities for patients who are very ill or under great stress with marvelous results. She has some very interesting and uplifting stories to tell. You won’t want to miss it. We originally scheduled Jocelyn last May, but she became ill and was not able to perform. We are so glad we were able to reschedule her performance.

Anyone and everyone is invited to attend. However, please call Darlene Dalley at 480-986-6985 to advise us if you plan to join us so that we can have an accurate count for the table space we will need.

Once September is reached those of us who survived the Arizona summer are anxiously awaiting the soon-to-be-returning s nowbird neighbors and friends from their summer nests.

Bill Veach #260 reports the SVE Sunland Stitchers have purchased a bench in memory of Jean Kinney who was a top quilter with the group. Jean’s family donated to the Stitchers all of Jean’s materials, 2 sewing machines, and quilting equipment. The bench is located at the South Complex near the Oakwood Room overlooking the grassy area to the east.

Shirley Halverson and hubby Dick #274 are currently residing at The Summit at Sunland Springs, #214 and would enjoy having friends and neighbors visit.

A big welcome to Marilyn Lloyd and Marion Ward #266 who are happy to be joining neighbors year around.

According to a neighbor’s rain gauge on August 3, our area received 1.5 inches of the late afternoon downpour. Until October—stay cool!!!

If you would like to be featured in the video, please provide a military picture to Linda Hayden (951-237-8142) or Jack Garner (480-986-8211). If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me or Jack.

SUNLAND STITCHERSFreda Klein

In July we celebrated the birthday of Joanne Martinek at The Olive Garden restaurant. There were sixteen of

us, and attending were three ladies who have been away due to health issues. It was great to see Vera Smith,Twila Hall and Rosemary Braunberger enjoying lunch with us.

Many sewers have moved on from our mass production of the PaddleWheel pattern into

surgical caps for Chardon Children’s Hospital. There were cutters,sewers and elastic inserters

working as a team to produce twenty-three small caps and twenty-fi ve large caps for a total of 48. Ferne Cohen is the link to the person at Chardons and Ferne let her know how many we made so far and she was overjoyed. There are two hundred caps needed each month.Looks like we will spend the rest of the month making caps.

Sally Lee has been long arm quilting on the fast track and has completed fi ve quilts in a short amount of time. Hats off to her.

Debb Smith has been gathering ideas for the upcoming year, and we are going to learn some new things plus improve some old things.

The Washington Federal Credit Union mentioned last month as an outlet for our Christmas quilts is located at 6835 E.Baseline Road suite 101. It is east of Starbucks/SmashBurger building on the south side of Baseline.
