Send articles to [email protected] Good Neighbor The “Good Neighbor Award” for May goes to Karen and Jerry Lewis. They were submitted by several of their friends and neighbors, who say the following about them: “As a friend or neighbor of Jerry and Karen, you have probably received one of their delicious meals after you have been in the hospital or are just not feeling up to par. After raising 4 children, Karen is used to cooking a lot, so she is always sharing meals and making sure nobody goes without. Karen has taken neighbors shopping and to doctor appointments. Karen is a member of the SVE Chapel, and is always willing to volunteer as an usher. Jerry helps keep the shuffleboards in working order. As ‘good neighbors’ they are always willing to help out where they are needed. They are very special people and we are lucky to have them as friends.” Karen and Jerry have lived in SVE for 6 ½ yrs. Prior to moving to SVE, they frequently visited their daughter Annie, who lived in Tempe for 10 years. They loved this area so much they decided to buy a home in SVE after they retired. It was the best decision they ever made. They have wonderful friends here and their son, Paul is close by. Karen and Jerry will celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary on June 8th. They moved to SVE from Downers Grove, IL, where they raised their 4 children, Bob, Mary, Annie, and Paul. They also have 14 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Bob is a general contractor, Paul is a carpenter, and Annie will graduate from college this year, and they look forward to attending her graduation in Illinois. Jerry was a maintenance electrician for Mayfair Molded Products for 38 years until the company closed in 2002. He now has emphysema and can no longer do much work. However, he still does small electrical jobs for friends and neighbors and works on their golf carts. He enjoys playing poker with the guys, bocce ball, and shuffleboard. Karen is the President of Shuffleboard, a board member of Bocce, and an usher at SVE Chapel. She loves to play volleyball, swim, and is an active member of the MahJongg Club. She loves to read, sew, and go to casinos. Sometimes she cooks or runs errands for those who are sick or can’t get out. She also volunteers for the Activities Director when she calls. Both Karen and Jerry have helped organize the canned food drive and Sloppy Joe Luncheon. Karen ran a day care from their home for 25 years while she pursued a business degree. She sold real estate and was a member of the school board when the children were young. Later, she worked as a secretary to an Administrator at Downers Grove South High School for 18 years, finally retiring in 2005. From 1985 until 2005, Karen and Jerry had 14 high school exchange students living with them; most of them were from Brazil. Some still keep in touch. Karen worked for Academic Year in America (AYA), a foreign exchange program, for 20 years. It didn’t pay well but had its perks - 14 all expense paid trips to Europe. They love to travel. Jerry can no longer fly because of his breathing but they do still drive all over the country often visiting their friends from SVE. Every spring, they spend one month in Florida with their best friends Sharon and Chuck Riedl. The rest of the summer is spent with family in Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa. Before Jerry got sick, they would pile 3 or 4 grandchildren into the motor home and travel with them for 30 days at a time. What fun that was! Do you know someone who is a “Good Neighbor?” Please fill out a form in the SVE Office and leave it with the Activities Director or place it in the “Outlook” box. SALUTE TO OUR VETERANS DAVE ABEL It was no surprise when Dave Abel enlisted in the U.S. Army. He followed the military tradition of generations of his ancestors beginning before the Revolutionary War. In the Civil War, his mother’s Irish Catholic/Illinois ancestors fought for the Union Army and Navy, and his father’s Methodist/ Mississippi ancestors fought for the Southern Army of Independence. His father and seven uncles served in the Pacific and/or the European Theatres in WWII. His father, Roy, served with the Third Infantry Division in Europe and with the Seventh Corps in the Korean “Police Action.” He survived the Hungnam Retreat from Chosin Reservoir to Hungnam thanks to the U.S. Marines who rescued him. One uncle, Kevin “Cub” Godsil, was a Marine who survived the Bataan Death March, and was rescued by Army Rangers in “the great raid.” Another uncle, Hollis Abel, was the only survivor of a B-24 shot down over France. He came home after several years in a German POW Camp and died two weeks later. Two other uncles survived numerous Kamikaze attacks, and some free swim time when their destroyer was sunk, along with the destroyer attempting to rescue them. Dave could spend months repeating the “stories” told to him as he grew up. According to some of his sailor uncles, they alone won the war. Dave is extremely proud of the generation of his family who served before him, The Greatest Generation(s). Dave was born in 1940, the eldest of eleven children, in Vancouver, Washington. Five of his brothers, and one sister, eventually served in the Army. As an Army brat, Dave moved frequently, finally moving to Fort Huachuca, Arizona, in 1954. He attended Tombstone Union High School for two years, and graduated from Heidelberg American High School in 1958. Upon the family’s return from Germany to Fort Huachuca in 1959, Dave enlisted. He attended basic training at Fort Ord, California; Signal School, Fort Gordon, Georgia(Radio Teletype School); and was sent to the 304th Signal Battalion, Seoul, Korea. For the next ten months they provided RTT support for a Construction Battalion installing HAWK Missile sites along the DMZ. The situation was still tense as the North Koreans still enjoyed shooting at American soldiers. Four men were killed in ambushes during those ten months. He returned to Fort Hood, Texas, as the “Communications Chief” for the 48th Medical Battalion, Second Armored Division (a Specialist Fourth Class in charge of two PFCs, exemplary leadership). He returned to Arizona in May 1962, temporarily a happy civilian. Dave missed the army life and reenlisted in 1965. The Viet Nam situation was heating up and the Army was looking for aviation types to fulfill the new air-assault concept. His ultimate goal was to become an Army Aviator in spite of his poor vision. He completed Single Engine, Single Rotor, Helicopter Maintenance School at Fort Eustis, Virginia, and was sent to Bien Hoa, Republic of Viet Nam. He was assigned to the 151st Transportation Detachment (CHFM), supporting Company A/501st Aviation Battalion (RATTLER/FIREBIRDS). The RATTLERS were the troop transport slicks, and the FIREBIRDS were the gunships (Hogs and Frogs). He was not assigned to any aircrew, but, like soldiers from other wars, he wanted to go along for the ride. The maintenance crews were given one day off a week and many tried to talk one of the gunners into giving up their seat for a mission. The pilots were more than happy to have a skilled mechanic along. Dave managed to hitch a ride two or three times a month as a door gunner. The company was moved up to Chu Lai in 1966, and re-designated the 71st Assault Helicopter Company with the same call signs. Bien Hoa was dangerous but sporadic. Chu Lai was deadly every trip. The company lost 55 pilots and crewmen killed-in- action, and several hundred wounded in action. One crew spent two years as prisoners of war. One crew chief returned for a second tour and received the Medal of Honor. Dave, eager for a quieter style of life, was accepted to Infantry Officer Candidate School, Fort Benning, Georgia, where he was an Honor Graduate in 1967. He anticipated his immediate return to Viet Nam and probable demise, but instead wound up as an Instructor at The Northern Warfare Training Center, Fort Greely, Alaska. Out of the frying pan and into the freezer is the way he tells it. Dave said the Lord must watch over knuckleheads who volunteer for Infantry OCS during a very nasty year. Dave spent 12 years active duty and 16 years with the Arizona Army National Guard. He was a Platoon Sergeant for most of his time in the guard, serving in Operation Desert Storm from December 1990 to August 1991. He also taught Human Development and Psychology for 25 years at Northland Pioneer College, Show Low, Arizona. Dave is a member of the Mesa Red Mountain Tea Party, The East Valley Veterans Color Guard, and the Single Action Shooters Society. Dave and his wife, Carol are active members in the village chapel and the SVE Veterans Club.

    CHAPEL NOTEPastor Richard Koerselman

    I’m happy to join the Chapel congregation along with its Leadership Team, and to become part of the larger Sunland Village East Community. I appreciate the warm welcome you are giving me, it really feels good. In these Chapel Notes, I’d like to share a few thoughts with you about new beginnings.

    It happens to most of us. When we begin a new job, our minds get into a “wish mode” and we begin hoping for great things to happen - like getting a big raise, becoming famous, getting discovered by a wealthy entrepreneur who invests money in our idea, and becoming a millionaire. And we want that to happen instantly. After all, we are Americans. When God passed out the gift of patience we missed it because we couldn’t wait.

    Well, I’m in the “wish mode” too as I begin my work here as Pastor at SVE. I’m looking forward to providing spiritual leadership, guidance and support for the Chapel and to be ready to respond to the needs of the larger SVE community. Under my predecessor, Pastor Wyn Olson’s fi ne leadership, a great team of people has been assembled doing the work of Jesus Christ. I intend to come alongside them, and enhance their work wherever I can by using the gifts God has given me.

    But when I think more about what I hope for, it really comes down to one thing. I wish we could feel more of the blessings of God within us, in our hearts. For example, we all would like more peace of mind when we feel troubled; strength when we feel weak; loved when we feel rejected; faith when doubts besiege us; and joy when despair rears its ugly head. It is hard to get God’s blessings anchored deep within us.

    Some years ago, I stood by a shrine in Tokyo, watching the smoke rise from low burning coals where people were coming to light incense and say a prayer. It looked like a kind of altar for worshippers coming into the shrine. Then something very interesting happened. A businessman, walking briskly with a briefcase at his side, approached the altar, swung his hand though the smoky air and brought his hand to his nose as if wanted to inhale it. There was no doubt in my mind that he was attempting to fi ll himself with the blessings of the holy one of his faith. Here was a businessman hurrying on his way to work, but somehow trying to fi nd a way to get divine blessings into his heart and soul. I believe that man’s act represents the universal longing of every human being. We are made in God’s image and we will forever long to become one with our image maker, God.

    My belief is that no matter where we are on the ladder of faith, no matter whether we attend church or not, whether we were reared in a Christian home or not, whether we are high-commitment, believers in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior or not, all of us are longing for a connection with God and his blessings. There is an old saying: We all have a God-shaped hole inside us that only God can fi ll. That saying has its roots back in the words of the great theologian of the 4th century, Augustine, who said: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.”

    So I would ask you to join in our journey to discover, uncover or maybe recover God’s blessings and let the Spirit fi ll you like a glass gets fi lled with water. We just may receive what the Bible promises, “A peace that passes understanding,” that will never leave us!

    May God bless you, today, with his blessings!

    THANK YOUI want to thank the SVE Staff and Residents for the

    beautiful fl owers, phone calls, notes and cards sent to me when I was in the hospital, while I was recovering, and when I retired from Sunland Village East.

    Retiring was very hard to do but necessary at this time.Best Wishes and Good Health to all of you. Hope to see

    some of you around the village from time to time.Bert Gallagher_____________________________________________

    Thank you to everyone for all your support, prayers, and cards you sent me after my husband, Tom passed away. It has been of great comfort knowing I have such wonderful friends here in the village. Agnes Hunter

    CORRECTIONLast month I wrote an article in the Outlook “Winter

    Residents…Your Checklist of Things to Do Before Heading North.”

    The City of Mesa no longer offers a “vacation rate” for water/trash. Apparently they stopped this service just last year.

    Thank you to the SVE Resident that brought this to my attention. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused.Linda Hayden

    Thank YouI want to thank everyone for all the nice cards you sent to me in

    remembrance of Helen. It was very comforting. Thanks again. Curt Davey

    President’s MessageLinda Peterson

    April was “National Volunteer Month” and I want to give a sincere ‘THANK YOU” TO ALL SVE Volunteers. With all of your help, it makes the Village run smoothly.

    Our North Entry looks so nice with new signs and new plants that Bobbie Hughes helped design. Thank you for your time and talent Bobbie.

    The maintenance staff is working on sprucing up the Village by painting, repairing, and up-grading our facilities.

    Some of the activities we have throughout the summer are Sunday Night Bingo and Lisa will also have Taco Tuesdays, Spuds and Splits, Friday Night Movie & Mixers, and at the end of June a musical play “I Do! I Do!.” Even with the heat, there is still gret fun going on in the Village, so be sure to come out and enjoy yourselves.

    Remember: You only live once – but if you work it right, once is enough.

    MANAGER’S KORNERWinter is over, spring is here, and over half of our

    residents will be going back to their homes in Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, Colorado, Canada, or any other place away from the Phoenix heat. That leaves the rest of us to stay here and “suffer” through summer in the desert, right? Wrong. Although summer is hot, we don’t all just pull our heads in and wait for winter. Believe it or not, you can get use to the summer temperatures here and have a good time outdoors if you do it right. A summer evening backyard Bar-B-Q is a great way to have fun with family and friends. Early summer mornings are beautiful in the desert and a walk through the many parks is always a good experience. In addition, we continue to have great functions in the summer, and Lisa, our Activities Director works hard to make sure those who stay here all year round have plenty to do. So, those of you who leave us in the summer need not feel sorry for us. We don’t let a little heat get us down!

    SECURITY BRIEFMariellen Moore

    Aside from the cumulative reports from our internal security group, Allegiance, reports are provided each month at the regular board meeting regarding Mesa Police Department activity within the community. If you have an interest in following the MPD activity yourself, please access crimereports.com and enter your address to view all police activity surrounding your home. The website has the streets well marked, specifi c dates to research and navigation is easy.

    Just a reminder: Important phone numbers for your use.After SVE offi ce hours – 480 773 0028

    SVE security – 602 757 4623 MPD dispatch – 480 644 221

    Dispatch will send an offi cer, when available, to write a report of a non-urgent incident.Emergency response - 911

    Remember that all the problems you might encounter are probably covered by a city code. Reports to the MPD can not only resolve an immediate problem but might be part of a trend that must be watched. Never hesitate to call police when necessary.

    Be safe!

    IT’S TIME FOR SPRING CLEANING….and getting organized. I’m sure for

    many of our winter residents, you may have already gone through this process. But for those of us who have not, here are a few helpful ideas to get you started.

    WARDROBELiving in southern Arizona does

    have its benefi ts. We don’t need the “extensive” 4 season wardrobe like most of the nation. However, we do need to periodically go through our closets and purge items we have not worn in the past year(s). Since we tend to

    only wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time, you more than likely have clothes that you can do without. Donate your clothes to a local thrift store or consider selling them at a local consignment shop for some extra cash.

    WALLETMake it a daily ritual to clean out your

    wallet and/or purse of old receipts and extra things you “really” don’t need to

    carry around. Use those gift cards you received for your birthday or Christmas – remember some of them expire. For safety reasons, do not carry your social security card in your

    wallet/purse. Ladies – downsize your purse. Your back, neck, and shoulders

    will appreciate it.BOOKSHELF

    Swap, sell, or donate used books. The SVE Library accepts most

    books. If there is a duplicate book in our library, we will donate books or magazines to a local city library. Consider an e-reader.

    LINEN CLOSETDo you really need 10 sets of

    sheets? Consider donating them to a local homeless shelter along with old towels that you haven’t used for a long time. The Humane Society is always looking for extra rugs and towels.

    PANTRYHave a party and clean out

    your refrigerator and cupboards every 4 to 6 months. Keep items in your pantry that you will use and that are visible to you when you open the door. Don’t overload your refrigerator – if you do, it will run ineffi ciently. Donate to the local food banks or SVE when we have our food drive in the spring.

    HOME GOODSSVE has two community sales a year –

    usually in October and February. Consider donating your unwanted items to the “community” portion of the sale, held in the

    Palo Verde Room. The money earned from this part of the sale goes back to the

    SVE general fund to improve the community. Consider having your

    own sale (in October or February) to raise some money. You can also

    have your items posted to the SVE “classifi ed” section of our website and also on the bulletin board outside the main offi ce. Bring a 3x5 card with description of your item to sell to the SVE

    Administration Offi ce during normal business hours.

    FILING CABINETWhen was the last time you went

    through your fi le cabinet? Granted, it looks like a daunting task – but don’t forget how much better you will feel once it’s cleaned out. Commit to going through two or three fi les a day. Before the week is over, you will be done. Don’t forget to shred the papers.

    GOLF CONDO II Wanda Katzman

    I am sitting on my patio this time writing today around noon on Thursday, April 5 and it is 80 degrees, somewhat cloudy. What a pleasure to be able to peacefully watch happy golfers enjoy a game of golf. The course looks at its best. We know that soon many of these golfers will be on their way back to summer homes or travel and we will miss them. It is a day for us year round residents to treasure before the hot summer comes. We do wish the travelers safe travel and that they hurry back.

    This article may become long as I want to “name names” of the many residents who have donated their precious time to help us all. The present social committee is retiring and they have given me the names of the new committee. The faithful, hard working committee who have given us so many fun activities: Mike and Gwen #162, Bob & Renee #231, Jerry & Debbie #220, Dan A& Betty #170 and Alice Allardyce #276. We do appreciate all your efforts to give us great fun events!! Thank you, too, for introducing us to the new committee: 14 smiling faces were introduced at the chicken dinner. When you see them give them a hug. Mel Klooster #161, Marlene Vos #224, Chuck & Donna Hanson #137, Sandy Inman #212, Paul & Jeri Longcrier #260, Herb & Nancy Balk Jr. #271, Pat Gajdzik #156, Gloria Tollefson #153, Maxine Zempel #152, Dale & Janice Sorenson #217. Get ready for a fun new season coming up. How lucky are we!!

    When you read this article, the Golf Condo II Block Watch captains will have entertained you all at the annual street party on April 12. The captains know how to make a party, too. Music, dancing in the street, food and just plain fun!! But then the police even come!! Just to check us out and remind us that crime is around the area, but here, not so much. We thank those block watch captains for all their efforts. Those names next month.

    Now for another name I promised last month. Larry Whitaker #159 is that helper in the recycling area. Every time the barrels roll out to the street, he is there helping John Schuch #211. This recycling has progressed so great for our street and we thank all who remember to bring all clean plastic and metal for the appropriate barrel. Sandi Inman #212 is the one who started this effort and we also do thank the men who spent hours building the fenced in area. Residents giving of their time and efforts do make out street one great place to live!!!

    Still no stimulator but it may be something to talk about later.

    Library News Loretta Wellman

    By now, most of our winter volunteers have left for the cooler areas. Hopefully, we in the library will see them back in October or November. Thanks so much for all your help, but we always need summer volunteers.

    Since we have over 190 NON-FICTION books, I thought I’d list a few to see if anyone is interested. I very seldom see anyone looking over the NF category but there are some very informative books in that area. A few are:

    Financial:“How To Trade in Stocks” by Jesse Livermore. Livermore

    started in Wall Street as a runner in the ‘20s, then as a trader who made and lost millions over the years. But the book gives an interesting history of the stock market.

    “Financial Serial Killers” (Inside the World of Hustlers, Swindlers & Con Men) written in 2010

    “Real Money” by James Cramer, who has his own show on CNBC.

    Political:“War on the Middle Class” by Lou DobbsSeveral books by Huckabee, Al Franken, Ann Coulter,

    Rush Limbaugh, Barack Obama, Al Gore, Glen BeckSocial:“How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” by Dale

    Carnegie“Widow to Widow” by Genevieve Ginsburg“The Power of Giving: How Giving Enriches Us All” by

    Azim JamalPersonal Skills:“Writing with a Purpose” by McCrimmon

    PANCAKE BREAKFASTEd Malone

    We had our last Pancake Breakfast for the season Saturday, April 7th. This was the fi rst time it has fallen on Holy Saturday. I wasn’t sure how many would attend but 463 of you were there. Thank You! I have enjoyed doing the Pancake Breakfast for a number of years now and the ONLY reason is because of our wonderful and faithful Volunteers. They are the BEST. They get up by 5 a.m. or earlier, show up at the auditorium before 6 a.m. and go right to work.

    And a very special thank you to Louise Grove who organizes the dining room volunteers. They set out placemats, coffee cups etc; a well-coordinated team. The kitchen crew, well, what can I say. They do a GREAT JOB and have fun doing it. Our success is based upon our LOYAL guests who continue to support us. Thank you. See you in October.

    The picture below was taken at the Annual Pizza Party to honor our dedicated volunteers who support the monthly Pancake Breakfast. We had a great turn out. Thank you!

    concerning the installation of pickleball courts.Paul gave a report on fi ndings he made concerning the

    growing interest and placement of pickleball courts. After talking to persons at Carriage Manor he found that if we contact the City of Mesa it is possible to get a permit to have some built in one of our retention basins.

    Discussion among residents concerning noise, cost and other issues continued. More research needs to be done concerning all issues of this project.

    Bill Crouch again asked the Board to vote on making a commitment to build these pickleball courts. He would like this decision made before the May Board meeting.

    It was explained that there needs to be more research on current costs and placement before the Board makes a monetary commitment on this matter.

    President Peterson discussed the monies that were designated for the Palo Verde Building. This money might

    be used to make improvements at that complex. Better storage, adequate sound system and improvement of the acoustics are some of these.

    It has been suggested that during the summer, Friday night movie mixers might be moved to the Oakwood room. This might save cooling costs in the large auditorium.

    President Peterson wanted to remind everyone that next week is National Volunteer Week. She wanted to thank all those that are willing to step up and help this community run so smoothly.

    Computer ClubBeverly Selvage

    The Computer Club has just fi nished an exciting Season. The First Computer Conference took place in Arizona and was held March 22-25 at the Fort McDowell Radisson Hotel Resort. It was a success. Next year it will be much bigger and better. Several of our members attended and stayed overnight. Norma Walsh and Dolores Bruno organized the Photo Show. A few of our members took part in the Photo Show and came back winners. Norma Walsh won a fi rst in Animals with “Just Exquisite”, and a fi rst in Nature/Landscape for “Karen’s Cactus Bloom”. Rob Bleckinger got a fi rst in People for “And Baby Makes Three,” a second in Digital Art for “Solid Gold” and a third in Animals for “At Alert.” The workshops were informative and there were many drawings for prizes. Make sure to attend next year and join the fun.

    Our Photo Show was also a success and a fun time was had by all. Thanks to all the SVE residents who came and voted. All the Computer Members should be thinking of entering their pictures next year. There will be the same categories: Animals, People, Plants and Flowers, Scenic with water, Scenic without water, Structures and Machines, and Animals with wings. They will need to be just matted and not framed with a size of 8x10 and 8x12, matted to 11x14. You can submit 3 pictures in a category and a total of 10 in all. So get your cameras ready while on summer vacation and take some great pictures for the next Photo Show March 3, 2013.

    Our “Fix it Thursdays” were a big hit with all SVE residents benefi ting by getting their computers tuned up and fi xed. The “Fix It” will continue during the summer but only certain Tuesdays, so watch the Website svecc.com for the days. Remember this is open to all SVE residents.

    All of our classes were well attended and will resume next fall. There is so much that one can do on a computer and it helps to learn how to do more.

    Our SLUG meetings will again take place and as the Linux Operating System is free and most programs also, it would benefi t us all to attend. The last SLUG is on May 7 Monday evening.

    The Mac SIG will meet again in the fall.Go to our website, WWW.SVECC.COM to get upcoming

    events, new information, free software websites and help articles. The schedule is under Activities. Our newsletter is great so don’t miss the information that is written up there.

    Red Hat SocietyJan Varner

    The Dazzling Desert Dolls met in March for another get together with tea & refreshments. We thank Group 6 for hosting and providing the entertainment, which was about traveling. Patty, from Group 6, had the gals talk about their best or worst travel experience. We all enjoyed hearing the stories and how well traveled our ladies are. The table decorations matched the topic and were maps and tour books from all over.

    We thanked and gave Shirley Miller a round of applause for putting the articles in this paper for the last several years. Thanks so much, Shirley.

    Our Red Hats & Purple attire made this a pretty setting. We meet every 4th Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in the Mesa Verde Room. We would love to have you be our guest for a fun time. For more details, call our Queen, Ruth Weston, 480 247-9928.

The original Buffalo Soldiers, a group of all black soldiers, were organized at Ft. Hauchucha in Sierra Vista, AZ, to fi ght the Indians. They went on to distinguish themselves as a great regiment. The presenters are their descendants. You will enjoy this program.

    being just around the corner, well it’s closer and you realize it more each day as your friends pack and leave the village. We wish them all safe travels.

    Gene Trust planned our program for April on webinaring. As of this writing I am not sure about a program for May but many continue with a webinar class. There are a lot of webinar programs available to help you work through whatever program you might be working with.

    Sorry I missed the March FHSA seminar as the program was on the TV series, “Who Do You Think You Are.”

    It airs every Friday night and the few I have seen have been very interesting and surprising as to what they fi nd and where it is found.

    Another area we should pursue is writing our family stories. Duane Roen will be giving a program on June 16th at a mini seminar in Tempe. Please check the FHSA newsletter for details. Duane is a Professor at ASU.

    We probably won’t meet June, July, August, or September unless something special comes along then you will all be notifi ed by email. If you have changed your email address, please let Gene know or if you are not on his list please give him a call to add your name. We

    are interested in everyone’s stories and welcome new programs. For those of you traveling, please return with many, many success stories to share with the group.

    Our meeting schedule has not changed so remember the fi rst and third Wednesdays of each month at 9:00 a.m. in the Mesa Verde Room. The fi rst Wednesday is the trip to the Family History Center (gather on patio of MVR) and the third Wednesday will be our monthly program.

    If you have questions, please call Gene Trust at 373-6052 or Jean McLane at 698-0002.

    Marvin FretwellOn Saturday, March 24th, Don Jensen

    demonstrated the new Powermatic lathe and conducted a mini-class on basic woodturning techniques. Attendees learned how to hold and use wood gouges, how to form a tendon for holding a piece of wood, how to turn pens, how to turn natural-edge bowls, and how to do hollow-form Christmas ornaments. About 14 people attended. It was a lively session, with lots of questions and answers, and lots of sawdust. Because of this class, the Woodshop will be spending a few hundred dollars on a number of newly essential items for our woodturning. A hearty thanks from all the attendees to Don for his excellent presentation, the coffee and donuts he provided, and his gracious attitude.

    During May, June, July, August, and September the woodshop is open on a reduced schedule of Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9 am to noon. With the spring

    departure of our many Snowbirds, the demand for fl oor space in the woodshop decreases markedly. If you have a big project but don’t like the winter crowds, the spring and summer months are ideal times to use the woodshop. The summer regulars are an especially nice bunch of guys. Monitors are always available

    to help you if you need it.

    The “Woodshop Craftsman of the Month” is Ted Drake. He worked off and on, a few hours at a time, for about 2 months on a wooden toy mobile crane for his grandson. The toy crane is fi nished now, and we think you will agree that it

    would be a splendid gift for his grandson.We residents of sunny Mesa don’t

    experience the light deprivation that occurs in Portland and Seattle during the drizzly, rainy, wet winter months. So the following statement doesn’t apply nearly as much here as there, but it remains true for all woodcraft addicts, nonetheless: “Sawdust is better than Prozac!

    We were a small but enthusiastic group that headed up I-17 to the Orchard RV Resort in Dewey, Arizona, outside of beautiful Prescott in March. Our hosts, Marlene and Larry Masker, chose to start us off royally by serving us dinner in their motor home. Marlene is a marvelous cook and, in addition to a wonderful meal, she also made a sinfully delicious dessert that would rival the best in the valley. Afterwards, we played a couple of fun games of pinochle.

    Monday morning we left the RV park to go to the Visitors’ Center in Prescott for a guided walking tour of the central city. I am always amazed that no matter how many times we have been to a place, we always seem to fi nd something new. And this trip was no exception. On the walking tour we were able to see the inside of an old hotel, the Hotel Vendome, that not only has a room with a ghost, but also has different quilts on the beds of every room. They were absolutely beautiful. We had lunch downtown and then perused the antique shops, which were many.

    The next day was our “museum” day. We

    started out at the Smok-i Museum (pronounced smoke-eye) where we learned that Barry Goldwater was an honorary Smok-i Indian. He

    even was trained to do their dances, but never did perform publicly with them. Following this very interesting tour, we had lunch at the Lone Spur and then hurried straight to our next adventure – the Sharlot Hall museum. This museum consists of several buildings including the fi rst governor’s mansion, the oldest log cabin in the state, a schoolhouse, and a transportation building. Our docent Barbara Burton was one of the best we have encountered. She mesmerized us with her many stories of old Prescott, which was the fi rst capital of Arizona. Did you know that the capital was in the northern part of the state because President Lincoln thought there were too many Confederate sympathizers in the Phoenix and Tucson area? That evening we had dinner reservations at The Palace. Actually, during the big fi re of 1900, the patrons of the Palace moved the huge room-length bar, along with all of the liquor, across the street. I guess they were probably more worried about the liquor than the bar, but at least it was saved from the fi re.

    Then, to put the icing on the cake, before we disconnected and readied ourselves for the short trip back home, Marlene again had us over to her RV for homemade caramel

    rolls – yummmmmm! We can hardly wait until it is the Maskers’ turn to host again. But don’t expect this kind of service from the rest of us!! We don’t cook!!

    Next month Wally and Ileene Fjelstad will be hosting a trip to Payson. This will be our last outing of the season, resuming again in October. If you’d like to join us for an outing (one time free before joining the club), please call Marlene Masker at 984-0953 or Dick Moon at 250-3033. Or just show up at a meeting at 3:00 on the fi rst Tuesday of

    each month from October through April at the Mesa Verde room. Come see what we’re all about! You’ll be glad you did!

    Barb WilliamsTo begin with some news from the March

    Quilt Show, the opportunity quilt was won by Jim Bettin of Sunland Village East. Our congratulations to him. We were excited that a village resident was the winner.

    Ladies working on the charity quilts are hard at work each second and fourth Wednesday of the month and will continue throughout the summer. Fifty-fi ve quilts were donated in March to Cardon, Cornerstone, House of Refuge and Hospice Family Care. Our thanks to member Eileen Giles for the donation of material. I’m sure we will see it in many of our charity quilts.

    Twenty-fi ve members have enrolled in a

    summer project, creating two blocks each month, for six months. In the fall they will proceed to put them into creative quilts each using their own methods. We look forward to seeing them in display at the next show.

    About 100 club members and guests attended a recent talk and trunk show by guest Pat Nagel from California. Ms. Nagel is the sister of renowned quilter, writer and television host, Eleanor Burns. Those in attendance were impressed by Pat’s work and many went home with purchases of books and patterns created by both Pat Nagel and Eleanor Burns. We look forward to seeing fi nished projects created as a result of her techniques and patterns.

    SVE SOFTBALL CLUB NEWS

    Al LudwigMany thanks to all the village

    folks who supported our Hamburger Banquet this year. The proceeds have allowed the club to make improvements to the SVE softball fi eld and to acquire the new fi eld tractor. In addition, we were able to purchase some additional uniform jerseys for our teams. An additional thanks is due to all of the softball participants who helped run the banquet and managed or coached our tams this past season.

    Starting this April, we have a new board to guide the softball club. Our outstanding president, Gordon Smith, who has served for the last three years, will stay on as vice president. Our new president, Al Ludwig, started his rookie year on April 1st. The treasurer and secretary will remain Rich Hicks and Mick Borton, respectively. The softball club would like to continue our invitation to all residents to come out on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week to open practice and games during the summer. Practice starts at 7:30 a.m. and fi nishes with games by 10:00 a.m. Grab your glove and come on out for the fun.

    TENNIS TALKJim Laframboise

    Yep! It’s me again writing the Tennis Talk article. So here we go with my unscripted and sometimes inane musings on life on the tennis courts at SVE. Well, where shall we start? How about with the Championship at SVE that was held in March. Sure, I know the tournament is almost ancient history by the time you read this, but it is such a consummate example of fun, food, and friendship through tennis that I just have to extol its virtues. It’s not only the phenomenal tennis demonstrated by each player participating in the event, whether they won their division or not, but also the tremendous outpouring of labor and support evidenced by members of the Tennis Club working in all phases of the operation of the tournament that is so impressive. There are so many outstanding workers that I do not have the space to list everyone, but rest assured that I give a huge thank you and hugs to everyone for a job well done.

    Of course, tournaments are also about rising to the top of excellent competition and SVE is proud of our winners. The Championship fi nals (Gold Medalists) included Fred Gross and Tom Bostock in the 4.0 Men and Aileen Williams and Sherry Forbes in the 1.5 Women. Silver medalists in the 3.0 Men were Daryl Johnson and Gordy Huffman. Bronze medalists in the 4.0 women were Lois Krejci and Joyce Swenson. Congratulations to these winners and to everyone who played in the competition for their fantastic performance.

    We really hope everyone in the Village will have the opportunity to watch one or more of the three tournaments held each year, It is not only an opportunity to see some fantastic tennis but also to experience fun, food and friendship in action. We invite you to come our and see for yourself. I’m sure you will enjoy the experience.

    Tournament and League play are over for the season so what is next? The answer is a lot of fun tennis! Summer is a beautiful time of year at SVE and the tennis courts are active all summer long. If you are new to the Village, come out and take a look. Round Robin tennis is open to all SVE residents and takes place Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and is a fun time and a chance to meet other tennis players. Other groups play at various times during the week. Don’t be left out, tennis is a heck of a good time not only in the winter but all year long.

    SEE YOU AT THE TENNIS COURTS!

    SUNSATIONAL TAPMary Jean Crider

    Our club has gone into summer mode, just like the rest of our village. Some of us will be spending a few months in the cooler country and some will be going home to other states. However, a few of us will be ‘holding down the fort’ for all the desert dwellers and we will be learning two more dances and perfecting those we’ve learned for our next how. No rest for us as we want our March Revue to be the best ever!

    Just a reminder that our “Tribute to the USO, “Thanks for the Memories” show will be March 5 and March 9, 2013. To view some of our dance numbers from previous years go to our website at www.sunsationals.org, or go to YouTube and search for Sunsationals Tap Dancers.

    Remember we have a beginner’s class starting in November and you are welcome to join. We have a lot of fun and its great exercise!

    Alicia Hall 480-354-7151 would like to hear from anyone interested in learning to tap or anyone who has tapped before and ready to do it again!

    Dennis Smith, chef, and Mike Withrow, chef’s assistant, prepare hamburgers for their fellow pickle ball members at monthly gathering.
