On The Managers MindBy: John Lippert, HOA ManagerCommittees and
Volunteers
In the February Village Voice I reported that the terms of
office of several of the members of the committees that run the HOA
were ending in March. I put out a call for volunteers to fill the
openings, and, as always, you came forward.
We have seven committees plus an Advisory Committee made up of
the chairper-sons of each of the other committees, plus a member or
two at large, and Jeff Decker, Vice President of the official Board
of Directors of the Sunland Springs Village HOA. Although
Farnsworth has ultimate responsibility for the HOA, this committee
system is responsible for making almost all decisions about the
community, and it has been in place since 2003. It was successful
from the beginning, and it continues to be as every year new people
volunteer to serve, new residents and long time residents
alike.
The 2012 Committees and their members are listed below. The
Chairperson is designated by a C, the Vice Chairperson, if any, by
a V, and the Recording Secretary, if any, by an R.

Many thanks to all these committee members. They are a great
group to work with.Openings can arise at any time on these
committees. If you think you might be
interested in joining a committee, come to the office and pick
up a committee packet. It describes each of the committees and
includes an application form. Being a committee member is a great
way to get involved with your community.Time to Paint?
We see many people repainting their homes, especially in the
older sections. The Architecture Committee asked me to remind you
that, if you are changing the color of the house, you must submit
an Architectural Change Request for approval of your new paint
colors. You can get the Change Request form in the Activities
Office, and, while you’re there, pick up a list of approved paint
colors. If you choose from that list, your Change Request will be
approved, but you are not limited to those colors. If you select
colors not on the list, you must submit color samples along with
the Change Request. The Committee does not dictate what colors you
can use. It just wants to ensure the colors you have chosen fit
well in the neighborhood.
We are also seeing people coating their driveways. In this case
we don’t have a list of approved colors, but we need to know if the
driveway will be a single color or multi-colored, and we need a
general description of the colors. For driveways, the committee is
ensuring the colors are compatible with your house colors.

SSV Book ClubBy: Peggy Schafer
New participants are always welcome for SSV Book Club
discussions. On Friday April 6 we will meet in the Majestic Card
Room at 1:30 PM to discuss Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet,
a novel by Jamie Ford. Set in Seattle, this beautifully written
book explores the damage to hearts and humanity caused by war, but
promises that even the most painful experiences may eventually
yield something sweet.
The next Book Club meeting will be in November. A list of titles
and dates for next year’s discussions will be available next
month.
Computer ClubBy: Jane E. Harrel, President
We are in our last month of regular weekly meetings and
programs. Then we will enter our summer schedule of meeting the
first and third Wednesdays May through September. As always, we
will meet in the Superstition Room at 10:00 AM on Wednesdays.
The AZ Association of Computer Clubs (AZACC) met at Fort
McDowell for three days the end of March. You will get
a full report in this column next month.April’s programs
are:
April 4: Home security: How your computer can keep watch over
the summer (or whenever you are away.April 11: Lifelock through
AZACCApril 18: Jerry Rogan on iPads and TabletsApril 25: Steve
Heyer on Windows 8
Starting in October, we will be meeting in the new San Tan Rooms
in the new rec center. Just go south on Springwood and you will run
right into the parking lot. The building is on your right. If you
have not seen the new facility, take a Sunday drive and check it
out. It’s going to be neat!! The great thing is we will have access
to the warming kitchen, so refreshments are not out of the question
in the future.
Be sure to go to SSVCC.com to see what programs are scheduled.
We are always having to make changes and this is the most up to
date place to check. Also, don’t forget the MAC group meetings on
the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month. If you have a MAC
computer, this is the place to be.
SSV Ceramics ClubBy: Mary Burke, Secretary
The Ceramics Club is enjoying a growing membership, and we are
having a great time as we get together to free our talents in one
of the oldest expressions of art. You would be amazed at what you
can do with a paint brush or a lump of clay. Examples of our work
can be seen in the Four Peaks Room and range from acrylic and
glazing techniques using molded green-ware, bisque or hand-built
pieces to painting on gourds and glass work.
We are currently holding classes in a variety of techniques
including the basics of cleaning greenware, learning dry brush and
translucent painting methods, creating a fish from clay and
hand-building a beautiful clay flower. We also have a class
scheduled for working with fused glass. A complete schedule and
sign-up sheets can be found in the Four Peaks Room during open
class hours.
If you are a long time ceramicist or new to ceramics, we welcome
you to join us to share your knowledge or to learn a new twist on
an old technique. The SSV Ceramics Club holds open classes in the
Four Peaks Room on a regular schedule throughout the year: Monday
evenings from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 AM
to noon. In addition to a yearly membership fee, a very modest
class fee ($2.00) gives you access to all supplies and firings.
For additional information, please contact JoAnne Chapin at
480-380-2302.
SSV Writers ClubBy: Nan Miller
Since its formation November 10, 2011, the SSV Writers Club has
grown to over a dozen members. The group ranges from novice writers
to those who have published books. Some enjoy composing nonfiction
while others concentrate on fic-tion. The main draws for our
members are meeting with others interested in writing and learning
how to improve their craft.
We decide each time on a brief exercise to compose between
sessions. At the meetings, we share our words. Those who don’t want
to work on the designated assignment bring something else on which
they are working. Sharing written copies is always an option.
Critiques are available on all writing.
We always meet the first and third Thursdays in the Summit Card
Room (behind the Majestic Card Room) from 10 AM to noon. In April,
our sessions are the 5th and 19th. This group has no fees and
charges no dues.
The group is so compatible that friendships are being made. They
had a party March 25th at Nan’s house and brought their spouses and
significant others.
Nan Miller, a professional travel writer, is coordinator. For
questions or if you would like to attend our group, call her at
(480) 984-1852.

Attention Arizona Homeowners!WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL?
Are you tired of roofing salesman knocking at your door?
The increased need for roof repairs has attracted“out of
state”roofers, known as‘STORMERS.”
Many of these STORMERS are not licensed nor authorized to do
business in Arizona and often use emergency repair situations to
take advantage of homeowners. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors
has referred to some STORMERS as “transient criminals.” Some of the
STORMERS have tried to avoid the licensing problemby soliciting
Arizona Contractors to“rent”a valid license to operate in Arizona.
Any Arizona contractor who engages in such an activity is at risk
to have his or her license suspended or revoked.
BEFORE YOU HIRE A ROOFING CONTRACTOR, ask these questions:Is the
roofer licensed in Arizona, bonded and insured?
Is your roofer experienced and reputable—will he do the job
right?If you have warranty issues, will the roofer be here next
year, or will he be back in another state?
We are an Arizona company, ran with Arizona employees.We are not
an out-of-state roofer,nor are we partnered with an out-of-state
roofer. We will be here for you in the future.
So, if you need a roof repair, WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL?
PARAMOUNT ROOFING, LLC—480-292-7929for a free estimate by a
local, licensed, bonded, and insured roofer. ROC 266468
Let’s keep Arizona money in Arizona and give you piece of mind
for the future!
Village VoicesBy: Jane E. Harrel
The Village Voices wish to thank all of you for coming to our
spring concert “CELEBRATE.” The music was rousing and well
received, especially the song written especially for us by our
Director, Judy Herr. It is called “Arizona Livin’,” and may become
our theme song. Our finale was the “Battle Hymn of the Republic”
and we gave it our all.
If you were in attendance, you will be happy to learn that our
member who had an medical emergency during the concert is doing
quite well. The decorum you sported dur-ing the situation was
outstanding. We are very lucky to have Giovanna Richardson as a
member of our soprano section. Her quick action, control and care
of the patient until the Fire Department and ambulance arrived was
excellent.
To finish out the year, the Chorus and their spouses were
treated to a pizza feed “on the house.” You will have to wait a
month to find out who our new officers are, as they have not been
elected at press time. At least that will give me something to
write about next month.
SSV Variety ShowBy: Doris Havelka
This year’s variety show was a sold out performance of a very
fun and entertaining show. Yes, we had a couple acts seen before
that the crowd loves, such as the accordion player (Jack
Heiligenthal) and the saw player (Dean Holmes). We also had spoofs,
comedy acts, singers, dancers, a poem recited, musical instruments
and even a synchronized swim routine that left people in tears of
laughter.
Quoting Don O’Reilly, “This year’s Variety Show was probably the
best one yet, and it truly had a variety of acts. I really enjoyed
it.” An-other lady said she almost didn’t come but with the promise
of new acts, she and her husband came and were glad they did. They
said, “This year it was fun and a couple of the acts were
hilarious. We can’t wait to see what you guys do next year.” Holly
Pake said she laughed so hard her stomach hurt! Bob Miller from
Sunland East said “This was a great show, and your Halloween dance
was fun too. We wish they had good stuff like this in our
community.”
At the cast party several of the entertainers said they were
looking forward to next year and were talking about what we could
do to top this year’s show. We are already gathering ideas, names
and phone numbers for next year, so please feel free to contact me
at [email protected].
The Karaoke Club wishes to thank all of you for your support and
appreciate your comments. We are looking forward to another
fantastic show next March! If you enjoyed this year’s show, just
wait until next year!

Elaine PalmerBy Jackie Muller, 354-8336
After leading a busy life as a farm couple in Minnesota, Elaine
Palmer and her husband, John, followed the advice of her sister and
began wintering in Arizona. “There’s nothing to com-pare to the
social life at
the Springs,” declares Elaine. When she’s not busy with her
favorite sport (shopping), she participates in yoga, pickle ball,
sewing, and golf. Little wonder that she has made so many friends
here.
One of the dishes that she shares at parties is easy and
delicious:
TANGY ALMOND CHICKEN KABOBS
Combine:1 T Dijon mustard1 T Honey1 T Canola oil1 T Lemon Juice4
Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
cubed or cut in strips
Marinate for at least 1 hour turning chicken occasionally.
Preheat grill and lightly oil grate. Soak wooden skewers in water
for approximately 20 minutes. Thread chicken onto skewers. Place on

Why Winter Residents Should Be In A Block Watch
By: Ed Leahy, Chairman Security CommitteeIf you are a winter
visitor who is not a member of a neighborhood watch, then
this article is aimed at you. First, it is not your duty to join
one—it is simply in your best interest. This is especially true for
a part time resident because you leave your home unoccupied for
many months at a time increasing the odds that something untoward
might happen.
Now, for the good news: All it takes to belong to a neighborhood
watch is a willingness to get to know your neighbors. That way, if
you are away, a neighbor can remove things hung on your security
door; hide one of the many versions of the Yellow Pages left on our
doorsteps; or any other signal that you are not home for extended
periods of time. This can be just the kind of house that might
invite a break-in. Break-ins that can be prevented by neighbors
looking out for each other.
But, you might say, no neighborhood network of support can give
a 100% guarantee to stop a de-termined thief. While that maybe
true, since the inception of our Neighborhood Watch program, SSV is
designated a low crime area, but we can’t afford to get complacent.
In order to keep little or nothing untoward happening here, we
should keep our neighborhood watch program vital and refreshed.
If you think that you can only play a part-time roll in a block
watch, remember—it is in your best interest to be a part of this
important network of support. If you have email, your group can
keep you up-to-date on what is going on at SSV no matter where you
are.
So, if you want to join a neighborhood watch before you leave
this year, contact Karen Stegenga, Crime Prevention Officer of the
Mesa Police. Either email [email protected] or call
480.644.5014.
A Rounder’s RamblingsBy: Linda McAteer
The Season: As a new Rounder, I’ve discovered the difference
between summer and winter is not just the weather. It is weekend
traffic for the swap meet backed up to the highway ramp; it’s
parking lots full after 9 a.m.; it’s an hour long wait at any
restaurant from breakfast through dinner, and, yes, it’s slow,
crowded roads which add 30 minutes to any errand I need to run. The
Village streets are packed with walkers, bikers, and golf carts, so
I’ve taken to using the Guadalupe Road exit to get out of the
Village by car. Do you know what the good part is though? Everyone
is smiling.
My calendar is packed. I work part-time so I only have time for
Ponytail Canasta on Monday’s at the “Big House” (as the players
call the main card room) and a Friday game in my neighborhood. As a
Townhomer, we have our Friday Happy Hour right after canasta. The
first Friday of every month I attend the Book Club and Karaoke
Club, too. Recently, I decided to help out with these activities,
so I’m leading book discussions, and I have learned to operate the
karaoke equipment. Of course there are all the dances and parties
that I love to attend.
One of my Rounder friends once wondered aloud if a person could
take a day off from retirement. I have decided the best I can do is
just sit and gather wool every once in a while, but right now I’m
off to the Fitness Center!

Village Voice Of HopeBy: Pastor Milton Zeeb
Springs Chapel is grateful for the privilege to be SSV-Worship
Ministry. It is our desire in ministry to declare the whole Gospel
of Christ the Lord; He is The Foundation of our Worship! The
message we declare every Sunday of the year is fundamentally based
on the Easter message of life! The N.T. does not record a
particular Sunday observed to celebrate Easter or the Resurrection.
The Celebration of Easter Sunday was decided by the Council of
Nicea-A.D. 325 and has since been so observed in honor of the Risen
Christ.
The early Christian Church was led to celebrate Easter Sunday as
a weekly celebration by determining that the first day of the week
is “The Lord’s Day.” It is now the day in Worship. The foundational
truth of the Gospel of Christ was completed in his Death, Burial
and Resurrection. The Apostle Paul confirmed this in writing the
Corinthian Church, “If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is
useless and so is your faith.” (II-Cor.15:14)
Easter is celebrated powerfully in the Spring Season of the year
when new life is beautifully displayed in nature and experienced in
man’s worship of the Resurrected Savior. He gives life eternal! As
a resident and/or visitor to SSV, you are invited to join in
Springs Chapel Worship of the Resur-rected Jesus, every Sunday of
the year at 9:00 AM in SSV Auditorium.
You are invited to attend Good Friday Worship at 5:00 PM
observing the Lord’s Supper. Easter Sunday Worship will have superb
piano and organ accompaniment by Sylvia Hansen and Judy Herr;
Chapel Choir and hymns sung by the Congregation. Be blessed in
hearing the Message of Resurrection and Complimentary Easter Coffee
Fellowship immediately following Worship. We pray for each of you
and your family a Blessed Easter!
April Ladies LuncheonBy: Diane Hall
This April our ladies luncheon will be at Benihana’s, 3025 W
Chandler Blvd in Chandler on April 12. Check-in will be at 11:30 in
the courtyard.

Beef Julienne or Hibachi Shrimp. Please be ready to choose your
entrée when you buy your ticket. Lunch will also include salad,
vegetable rice and other vegetables, plus your choice of tea, soft
drink of coffee.
This will be a fun lunch as you watch the chef prepare your meal
right at your table and entertain you at the same time. See you
there!

Az Blankets 4 KidsAnnual Sewing Bee
By: Barbara OhlerThe SSV Quilt Club will be hosting the annual
AZ Blan-
kets 4 Kids Sewing Bee on Saturday, April 14, 2012, from 9:00 AM
to 3:00 PM in the Auditorium.
This is always a fun event that we look forward to each year. If
you would like to help sew, just bring your sewing machine. Sewing
kits and fabrics will all be provided. There are also other
projects that do not require a sewing machine if you would prefer
to work on those.
Sandwiches from Subway, chips and soft drinks will be available
for lunch for $6.00. Lunch may be purchased the morning of the Bee.
Coffee and tea will be provided free for all and you are welcome to
bring along a baked good to be put on the coffee table for all to
share.
If you have any questions, please call Barbara Ohler at
354-7054.
Bible StudyBy: Ardella Burtman
A community Bible Study is held every Friday morning at 9 AM in
the Superstition Room. Everyone is welcome to attend. This is an
interdenominational study, open to men and women. We are careful to
keep the class to one hour. Bring any translation of the Bible you
prefer to use. There is no charge for the class and no book to buy
– the Bible is our study guide with use of commentaries by trusted
Christian writers.
The Bible Study continues throughout the summer months. The only
days during the year we do not meet are official holidays, such as
the 4th of July, Christmas Day, etc.
On November 4, 2011, we began a study of the book of Mark
facilitated by an excellent teacher, Marshall Poling. We anticipate
this class will be finished within the month, at which time we will
likely continue our study of Genesis that we interrupted to study
the book of Mark. We do not adhere to a strict schedule with our
classes, but proceed as time and comments permit.
You are invited to join us for our Friday Bible Studies. Even if
you have/or will miss some classes, you are welcome. Naturally,
there is some building of content one class on the next, but also,
in a sense, each class stands alone.
If you have any questions about the Bible Study, please call
Ardella Burtman at 480.993.3102.
Sunland Springs Village International Art Studio And Avalanche
Avoidance TrainingA WORD FROM THE NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF MARKETING
THE HONORABLE RALPH LIPSCHITZ: Now
listen up you SSV people. You’re giving us big headaches here at
the Home Office. We’ve been spending very large ad-vertising
dollars trying to get you guys to develop a burning yearning so
that you finally discover that you really are better than your
neighbors because you’re just sooooo creative. However, there
appears to be some resistance to our Grand Plan. This is not a good
thing. We have one full wing of the studio that is still not fully
occupied. And, it just so happens to be the one nearest the Piano
Bar. Go figure
Therefore, I should tell you that the dreaded “black
helicopters” are fully fueled, oiled up and ready to begin their
intimidating hovering over your homes until you finally come to
your senses and sign up for the best painting classes in
Arizona…well Maricopa County…ok,ok, east of Signal Butte. Geez. It
seems to me that if your Beloved Art Instructor is willing to drag
her butt out of a warm comfortable bed two mornings a week just to
make your life a little better, the least you could do is show up
now and then (and bring money). She doesn’t really want to unleash
the aircraft and fill the airspace over your residences with
rapidly spinning blades, but she could be pushed to it. Now nothing
has been said about machine guns of any type or caliber. A word to
the wise...
So if you want to really get happy, sign up today. Then, maybe
things here at the corporate headquarters will simmer down, and I,
Ralph Lipschitz, will be able to get back to chasing short-skirted
secretaries. I know I still want to, but I’m not quite sure just
why. At least I won’t have as many headaches.
Classes 9:00 to Noon Mondays or 9:00 to Noon Wednesdays.$12 per
class or 4 classes for $42.

Billiards ClubBy: Jane E. Harrel, Secretary
Congratulations to our Mixed Doubles tournament win-ners. Each
team played every other team once, and each team had a bye. After
the dust cleared, Ralph Laurel and Mo Serva came in first winning
ten of 12 games. Second place went to Dan Olenik and Diane Sawyer.
The third place team had to win a tie breaker, but Gene Johnson and
Linda Bisted bested those other guys.

Couples 18-Hole Golf League
By: Allen and Carol SchaefferWell, March went out like a lion in
many parts of the
north, but it didn’t affect us much here except for occasional
wind and some morning cold. Nothing keeps us intrepid golfers off
the rapidly improving nines. If you were going to antagonize your
snowbound Snow Belt friends and neighbors, March was the month to
do it. From all indications, it is shap-ing up to be a short winter
(except in Alaska).
March was tournament month for couples golf. Follow-ing an early
March burger/fish night hosted by the Kahlers, Don O’Toole and his
committee treated us to three weeks of fun, competitive golf and
relaxing socials culminating with the “Tournament Banquet” on March
23. March was also the coronation month for the new Couples Golf
board. Neither the tournament scores nor the new board member names
were available as this article went to press. We will have all the
win-ners and board details in the May Voice edition. Stay
tuned.
We continue to be very grateful for the many, many club
volunteers whose on-site and behind-the-scenes contributions make
our playing and social programs work so well.
All couples living in SSV may join our club. If inter-ested,
please call any of the Board members. The contact information,
social calendar, club rules and regulations and other material can
be found in the “Golf Shack,” which is the middle door on the south
side of the Pro Shop building. New members are always welcome.
PickleballBy: Ambrose and Mavis Reschny
Pickleball has been headlined in newspapers as the fast-est
growing sport in North America! We are excited that our membership
has doubled in the last few months. What a great way to get
exercise, have fun and socialize all at the same time!
Come and join us at the pickleball court between 8:00 AM and
dusk. We have a sign up board where you can sign up for a game. We
also have a list of members on the bulletin board with contact
information, so you can call people to set up a game. Beginner
lessons will start again in the fall on Wednesdays from 10:30 AM to
11:30 AM.
Club membership per year will be $10 as of fall, 2012. The
2012-13 executive board is: Roy Brandli, President; Mike Harris,
Vice President; Mavis Reschny, Secretary; and Shirley Kadrmas,
Treasurer.
See you on the pickleball court!!!
ShuffleboardBy Mary Lou Lange
SSV District 4 Shuffleboard Leagues completed their league play
in February. The SSV Superstition League team placed fifth out of
six places and the SSV Eagles team placed third.
The District 4 Shuffleboard League playoffs were held on
February 21, 22, and 23, 2012. SSV hosted this event. Dis-trict 4
consists of nine leagues of six teams with eight players each. The
winning team from each league met and played in a round-robin
format. The first-place winner, from Golden Vista Resort, competed
at the state level at Montesa Resort in Gold Canyon on February 27.
District 1 represented by Val Vista Park won the state
championship.
Open shuffleboard is held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday
mornings at 9 AM. Please try to arrive by 8:45 AM to help clean the
boards and get your board assignment. Remember to wear your
nametag. Any questions, please call Bill Iverson at 354-8427 or
Louis Furtaw at 307-6571.
The Spirit Of YogaBy: Christine K. Marcus
Some come to YOGA for the physi-cal exercise. Others come to
YOGA for the additional mind/body connection, as well as the
meditation and relaxation at the end of each class. YOGA can be
meditation in motion. That is what makes YOGA unique to other forms
of ex-
ercise. It is the spirit of YOGA that gets seasoned yogis to
return to class to enjoy the stretching, strength, balance poses
and stress relieving abilities that YOGA can offer.
Research shows that moving can be a way to alleviate back pain.
Staying flexible and increasing balance with YOGA is a way to
achieve that goal.
Although YOGA is done in a group class, it is a very
personalized practice on your own, individual mat. Our experienced
and certified instructors offer modifications to honor old or new
injuries.
Come join us for a YOGA class, as we continue all year! Mondays,
Wednesdays and
Fridays from 8:30 to 10:00 AM in the auditorium. Wear clothes to
move in, bring a yoga mat, towel or blanket and strap. Yoga is done
barefoot! Cost is $3.50 per session. Questions? Call Christine
480.986.6092.

enhancements. They include a new E statement which can be sent via
email and a system that provides a no cost collection of delinquent
accounts. In 2012 the 12 largest RMG communities Activities
Directors’ (including our own Janet West) will meet to share ideas
and develop the Lifestyle Service Group (LSG). These 12 communities
will also have increased buying power for entertainers, seminars
and other special activities. The LSG will also work with the other
300 RMG managed com-munities for additional financial benefits. Mr.
Decker explained the current membership of the SSVHOA Board. They
are Craig Ahlstrom, SSVHOA Chairman and Farnsworth Corporation
Presi-dent, Dave Palmer, SSVHOA Board member and
Secretary/Treasurer of the Farnsworth Corporation and himself, Vice
President of the HOA. At some point additional members could be
added to the board and it will be turned over to the homeowners,
but for now the seven committees of the Advisory Group are learning
what it takes to manage a large community like SSV and ‘advising’
the Board on the preferences of the homeowners. It was explained
that when residents have a concern or suggestion it is presented to
John Lippert, Association Manager. He then takes it to the
ap-propriate committee; the committee evaluates the item and
recommends or declines the proposal. Recommendations are presented
to the full Advisory Group which reviews them further and if
approved presents to them to the SSV Board. Jeff noted this system
has worked extremely well and is not aware of any decisions that
have been overturned by HOA Board.Committee members serve for 2
years and there is a two term limit. Then you must take a one year
break from that particular committee, but you are welcome to join
another committee. If you are interested in volunteering on a
committee you can get an application at the Activity office or see
John Lippert for one.Jeff next acknowledged the many volunteers
that help keep SSV such a great place to live and play. Special
kudos’s were given to the Table and Chairs Committee, the Activity
Office Volunteers, the Bingo and Softball volunteers, pool
monitors, Village Voice newsletter staff, the Holiday light display
and so many other folks. Jeff asked those in the audience to stand
if they are volunteers and more than half of them stood.Jeff also
reminded folks to be sure to pick up the Annual Farnsworth BBQ
tickets at the Sales Office. The BBQ will be held at the Golf Pro
Shop Driv-ing Range on Wednesday, March 7 at 12 noon.ACTIVITY
DIRECTOR REPORT Janet West provided an overview of all the Activity
Office:She began her work in Sept.1999 when there were 100 homes
and about 200 people. In 2012 there are almost 2000 homes and 3500
people.There are 76 clubs and special interest groups with a
Writers club and Wood-carver group just recently started.The
2011-2012 Season saw over 5000 room reservation requests and saw
over 240,000 attendees at the various functions. These numbers do
not include the Billiards, Bocce, Woodshop, Softball Field, Tennis,
Swimming and other specialty facilities. That would run the number
over 300,000.This season the Concert Series was replaced with seven
Cabaret shows.None of these activities would work without the20
individuals who volunteer every week in the officeTable and Chair
crew –no other community has one like oursSoftball group that help
with the two annual yard sales and provide the concession stands at
various functions.Tennis club that provides traffic control at
special events like the Christmas Golf Cart Parade and the Antique
Car show.Bingo has three different teams that rotate throughout the
month and contribute all those funds back to the community.The
teachers of the various classes held.It has been reported that a
volunteer’s time in Arizona is worth $19.49/ hour. Our Office
volunteers alone save us over $40,000 per year.In closing, Janet
reminded everyone that they get out of the community what they put
into it and thanked everyone who has participated.Annual Advisory
Committee Chairperson’s reportsThe current committee chairs
provided an overview and update on their com-mittee’s work. HOA
members who wish to join a committee were urged to complete a
volunteer application. Members serve staggered limited terms. The
committees choose their chairperson and that person represents
their committee on the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board meets
monthly. There are almost 60 volunteers participating in the
Advisory Board Committees.Members of the SSVHOA Advisory Board, who
would be giving individual committee reports, are: Architecture
Committee-Ralph Stokes; Buildings Committee-Fred Kramer;
Communications Committee-JoAnne Chapin; Finance Committee-Doy
Gillespie; Landscape Committee-Jerry Nelson; Recreational
Facilities Committee-Max Tiede; and Security Committee-Michael
Tucker. Committee Reports:Architect Committee: Chairman Ralph
Stokes first recognized the members of the committee: Karen
Bulkley, Becki Burch, Helen Denney, John Herr, Laurie Gordon, and
Nancy Kadlec. The committee meets the first and third
Tuesday of each month. Ralph stressed that residents complete
the Architec-tural Change Request Form and submit them for approval
BEFORE making any changes to their property. Copies of the
Architectural Policy Manual are available on the SSVHOA.com website
or at the Activity Office. Ralph rec-ommended that we have printed
copies of the manual available and to REFER to them when any change
or update is planned for your home. The Commit-tee continues to be
pleased with the cooperation it receives from residents. In 2011
the committee continued to see requests to repaint the exteriors of
homes, change existing landscape, add satellite dishes; paint
driveways and add solar panels. Ralph wanted to caution residents
regarding contractors soliciting business door to door. He also
reminded us that we are a NO so-liciting community. The committee
is always looking for residents willing to volunteer and serve.
Building Committee Member Fred Kramer presented on behalf of
Chairman Dave Latta, recognizing his fellow committee members: Jim
Palfini (Re-corder), Pete Crocenzi, Joe Ricci, Sherlan Baker, John
Baxter, Rod Hoflick and Kathy Thompson, The Building Committee is
charged with the inspec-tion of existing buildings and exterior
walls on a semi-annual basis. If there are any requests for changes
to the facilities they must come to the Building Committee. Recent
improvements included the Tennis storage building; remodel of the
sport court area restrooms, soffit repairs and updating the
ventilation for the ceramics kiln room.There is currently a full
committee now but with term limits there will be several openings
next year. Communication Committee Chairperson JoAnne Chapin
acknowledged her committee members:Sheila Bauer, Paul Leber, Phil
Plato, Richard Newman outgoing members Bob Gray and Jane Harrell
and returning new member Allen Schaeffer. The areas of
responsibility include:Channel 22 –providing reminders of upcoming
activities and special presenta-tions such as the 50th Anniversary
celebration.Village Voice-the monthly newsletter of the Village
available in print and at SSVHOA.comAuditorium-providing training
and assistance in the usage of the audio/visual equipment.SSVforum
–this is a web neighborhood ‘blog’ that shares information within
the village. Information for sign-up is available at the Activity
Office.SsvEnews- is the ‘official’ information “blog” for the HOA
Application and information is available at the Activity
Office.SSVHOA.com-is the HOA website and includes access to the
newsletter, information on activities and many other Village
resources and club “splash” pages.Directory-the annual listing (
and monthly updates) of residents Wireless Communication
Expansion-Providing internet service across the HOA facilities with
the assistance of the Computer Club.Besides the official committee
members there are a lot of Ad Hoc residents who donate their time
and talent in specific areas. If you are interested in sharing your
talents and volunteering, please apply at the Activity
Office.Landscape Committee: Chairman Jerry Nelson explained the
responsibility of the Landscape Committee is to ensure the Master
Association landscaped areas are in the best possible condition.
This is accomplished by monitoring and identifying problems and
recommending repairs and enhancements. They try to maintain a
standard for the community that makes our village and attractive
place to live. Committee members include Robert Fischer, Emmet
Kirscht, Steve Minker, Mary Catherine Myers, Bob Myers, Jim Smith,
and Terry Steinkruger. Fortunately, this past year there was very
little damage to the Village from the Haboob storms and this has
been very beneficial to our budget. Farnsworth personnel helped
with cleanup of 5,280 feet on the outside of the east wall along
what will become Meridian. The HOA is now responsible for keeping
this area clean. Trash dumping on the east side of the wall is
illegal. Addi-tional granite rock was applied around the Village to
help keep that area dust and weed free. These projects plus the
regular oversight of the landscape have kept the Committee busy. If
you see problems during the week call our HOA Office at 354-8758 or
on weekends call Rossmar and Graham at 480-551-4300 so they can be
addressed.Finance Committee: Chairman Doy Gillespie acknowledged
the Finance Committee members: Max Warren, Fran Davidson, Gene
Lutter, Burt Marcus and new member Bob Nielsen. Bill Barker and
Howard Littell will be leaving at the end of the month due to term
limitations. Doy then presented the highlights of 2011 Financial
Statements distributed early in the meeting. The HOA was all most
self sufficient in 2011 as the Farnsworth subsidy was only $13,500.
The 2012 Budget calls for no Builder Subsidy. The HOA received a
$67,849 rebate from Cox because of the many bundled services of the
residents and because of the contract with Cox where we also we
enjoy a 40% reduction on the cost of basic cable. Operating
expenses in 2011 were $1,050,000. The Reserve Fund which provides
for long-term updates and replacements of assets has is a very good
98% funding or $949,000 balance. The Village Enhancement Fund
consists of profits from activities and various commissions from
Terra Travel, the newspaper, re-cycled paper and other sources.
These funds along with Bingo funds; individual Clubs monies and
labor from various groups helped provide the Sparklelite drapes for
the auditorium; the tennis storage building; trees and concrete
pads for the Dog Park; Softball Field signs; updated Christmas
decorations; Remodeling of restrooms at the Tennis Courts; 8
additional tables for the Textile Arts and a park bench for the
Olla Basin. Special thanks go out to Bingo which has provided over
$140,000 to these and numerous community projects since it started
5 years ago.The 2012 Budget closely tracks the 2011 Actual expenses
with the addition of 6 months of costs to operate the new Santan
Recreational Complex currently under construction and which will be
opened this summer. Recreational Facilities Committee (RFC):
Chairman Max Tiede thanked his committee composed of Carol Boots,
Mavis Carver, Connie Gonzalez, Jerry Mason, Angie Reiter, Chris
Stricklett, and Deena Warren for all their efforts. Special thanks
were given to Roy Brandli who is leaving do to term limits. The RFC
assesses current and projected needs of the recreational
facilities. They include The Fitness Center, The Swimming
Facilities, Tennis Courts, Softball Field , Horseshoe pits,
Shuffleboard, Bocce ball, Pickle ball Courts and the Dog
Park/Picnic Area. In 2011 the group supported and approved; the
light addition in the Bocce court areaSoftball’s field
information/directional sign on the streetsTable and sunscreens at
the Softball field.Remodeling of restrooms at
tennis/bocce/shuffleboard courtscontinued maintenance of pool area
and fitness centeraddition of TV’s in the Fitness CenterMax told
about other facilities and features available in the Village like
the Ping Pong tables, the Picnic area down by the Dog Park and
sports equipment that can be checked out at the Activity office. He
will have an article in the next Village Voice with more
information. The committee will be extremely busy this year as the
new Santan Activity Center is setup. There are committee openings
now and there will be more next year if you would like to help..
Security Committee: Chairman Michael Tucker acknowledged the work
of his committee including; Terry Bahnub, Joe Camporese, Ed Leahy,
Wil-liam Shea, and Richard Wood. Michael and Joe will be leaving
this month because of term limits. The committee’s purpose is to
help provide security by coordinating the three
phases of the Blockwatch, Mesa Police and the private security
company efforts and education. On March 13 at the Tuesday Coffee
the Mesa PD, the HOA and local vendors will present ways to improve
your home security. The keystone to any security is “neighbor
looking after neighbor”. We are currently a low crime area and we
can be complacent. Mike closed with a short film about the SSV
COMMUNITY WATCH. Presidents Report:Craig Ahlstrom thanked the
committees for all their hard work. He also gave special thanks to
Fran Davidson who serves as Recording Secretary, to Janet West for
her commitment to SSV and to John Lippert. He reiterated that of
all the jobs in the world, John’s is one he would never want to do.
He thanked Kirk Kowieski of Rossmar & Graham who is leaders in
the com-munity management industry. Special acknowledgement was
also given to Jeff Decker who is both Craig’s right and left arm.
Craig then shared Ross Farnsworth’s greetings to all. Ross is still
doing well and plans on being at the BBQ in March. There are now
almost 2000 units closed now. 48 were sold in 2009; 64 in 2010; 71
in 2011 and 2012 should meet or exceed last year’s total. The
Santan Recreation Center at the intersection of Springwood and
Guadalupe should be finished soon. Parts of the facility will be
available in the next 60-90 days. $3.3 million was spent on the
land and improvements. $800,000 will be spent to open Guadalupe
Road from Wattlewood to Springwood. SSV signs have been ordered for
the Wattlewood and Guadalupe intersection. $4 million is being
spent to continue development of Unit 7, 5 and 6. The streets
should be done close to the end of the year. The Memory Care
facility has been named The Summit of Sunland Springs. The facility
is budgeted at $4 million and is being built south of the
Con-struction office on Signal Butte. It should be open for
residents by the end of the year. Craig Ahlstrom, Jr. is the lead
on developing this project. There has been a lot of interest in the
center, if you would like more information speak to Craig Jr. at
the Sales Office. Questions and Comments:The meeting was open for
comments or questions. Craig noted that if you have a particular
question about your home or its construction to take those to the
Construction Office. If we don’t know the answer to your question
this evening we will find out for you and let you know later.
Question: Are there any plans for adding bicycle lanes along
Wattlewood and Guadalupe and on Medina west of the Golf Pro Shop?
It is a very busy traffic area. -This is an issue for the City of
Mesa; John Lippert will make a note of the concern and see if the
city will address the safety issues. Question: Will there be access
to the Memory Care center from SSV or will we have to drive all the
way around to Signal Butte?-At this time no, there is no access
planned from within SSV. Perhaps after the Assisted Living complex
is developed and plans for townhomes east of the center are
finalized, access may be included. Once the plans are developed
public notice and hearings will be held by the city. Any roads and
access will be developed with respect for the security, privacy and
safety of SSV residents in mind.Question: This is a question for
the Recreation Facility Committee (RCF)-Why was it decided to go
ahead and put a TV in the weight room when the survey by the HOA
was so solidly against the plan? -Max Tiede explained that the
majority of residents who wanted the TV work and can only use the
room at night. It was felt that earlier in the day if the sound is
an annoyance then the TV sound could be turned off. Craig suggested
the RFC look into purchasing transmitters for the sound so that
individuals could elect to listen or not thru headsets.Question:
How many homes will there be when SSV is fully built out? -Original
plans in 1988 were for 3500 units. Currently the estimated build
out will be between 2800-3000 units.Question: What can be done
about the lack of handicap parking and getting an access ramp up by
the front door of Auditorium so you don’t have to go all around the
building to get in?-SSV follows the prescribed zoning codes when
creating the parking spaces, but the appropriate committees will
look at the changing needs of the com-munity and make suggestions
for enhancements where necessary Craig said.
Question: What kind of insurance do we have on all the buildings
and HOA assets? Do we have liability coverage?-RMG provides an
Insurance Administrator that helps to get the best insurance for
their clients. Once a year SSV has an insurance review to make sure
there is adequate coverage. This includes liability
coverage.Question: How many months of this year’s budget include
the new activity complex? -The last 6 months of the year includes
estimated expenses for the new facil-ity in the 2012
budget.Question: Who covers the security for the Ironwood area on
the east side? There isn’t a Blockwatch area over there.-When the
roadway is open to Ironwood and along Meridian the private
secu-rity group will include the eastern portion of the development
in their patrols. Question: When will Guadalupe be open thru to
Meridian and beyond? -Mesa streets are setup on a grid system. The
street probably won’t be open for another 5 years and then it would
depend on the overall development needs of the city. Eventually the
roads may go through but it will be accord-ing to an
inter-governmental agreement between Mesa, Apache Junction and
Pinal County.Question: Why is there not a wall in the area of
Nichol and Nell , why is the area open there? -There is no
particular reason that it is like that. Question: Will the rules
for children be changed when we get the other pool? -The rules are
not in stone, if you have suggestions you should get them to John
and he will have the appropriate committee look into it. This year
the children’s time has been extended from 4:30-6:30pm for the
month of March only. These could be adjusted as needed.Question:
When will there be landscaping on the north east corner of the Twin
Homes? -This is City of Mesa property and they are waiting on a
final decision on Meridian Road. Farnsworth has planted up to the
area. You could bring your concerns up at a Twin Homes board
meeting to see if anything else needs to be done.Comment: Thanks to
Farnsworth for all you do to make this is such a great place to
live. (Applause followed).Question: Why was Administrative Expense
up?-John Lippert can help you with the detailed financial
information. Contact John at the Activity Office and make an
appointment to review the report detail with him. There being no
more questions or comments, a motion by Jim Palfini was made to
adjourn the meeting, seconded by Dale Spies, approved
unanimously.Meeting adjourned at 7:48 PM.Respectfully
submitted,Fran Davidson- Secretary, HOA Advisory Board
