~Stay Informed... ~Hear the Facts... ~Get involved!

Nearly four years ago, LW employees, Debra Miller and Lori Roush utilized the convenient service of the Mobile On-site Mammogram Bus, sponsored by our Wellness Department. A few weeks later, they both received the dreaded news, “you have cancer.” With the help and support of friends, family and a caring medical team to get them through treatment, they survived and urge all women to get an annual mammogram. Lori shared, “Four years clear and counting! A shout out to M.O.M. from grateful employees. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of using your excellent service.”

Please don’t forget to schedule your 2017 mammogram screening.

It can save your life and these ladies are living proof!

LW residents help dress 6,400 schoolchildren

Fall Art Show open to all LW residents! Submitted by Charlene Ingerson

The Fall Art Show will be held in the Rec. 1 Ballroom during the Craft Fair and Library Book Sale on Saturday, Nov. 18. All Leisure World residents are eligible to enter. It isn’t necessary to belong to a club affiliated with the show to participate. Whether you work in the visual arts, such as photography or painting, or three-dimensional media, we invite you to submit your work for exhibit. The entries must be original, in that they are not created from a kit or published pattern, nor are copies of other work. The exhibitor deadline for entry is Friday, Nov. 3.

About 90 children from East Valley elementary schools came to a Target store with their parents on a recent afternoon to go on a shopping excursion. Six women from Leisure World are active members of Assistance League of East Valley, an all-volunteer group that raised funds to clothe more than 6,400 schoolchildren last year. Peggy Larson (pictured at left) of Leisure World is co-chair of the dressing events, which are repeated every other week throughout the early fall at different Target stores. Each child is allowed to spend $90 on school clothes and shoes. Assistance League members help them shop and check out, and provide them with hygiene kits. “Parents constantly express how grateful they are and how much our efforts help them,” said Peggy, who plans the events and coordinates volunteers. “The children’s eyes light up when they show you their new school shoes. Most of them already know which outfit they are going to wear to school the following day and tell us before leaving the store.” For schools with uniforms, the organization provides two uniforms each for children in need, along with socks, underwear and shoe cards. Called Operation School Bell, the program serves children in Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler and Kyrene districts. Children are chosen by school

resource officers. Funds are raised through the organization’s thrift shop in Chandler. Since moving to the attractive, expanded location a year ago, fund-raising has increased exponentially, enough that the group hopes to clothe an extra thousand children this year. “I joined Assistance League after I heard about the terrific thrift shop, which is nicknamed the Nordstrom of thrift shops,” said Peggy. “I sort donated items in the back room each week and am amazed every week at the lovely clothing, jewelry and housewares we have for sale. The shop is completely operated by volunteers and takes on a new look every Tuesday.” Assistance League of East Valley has sponsored Operation School Bell since 1989. It’s a national project for 124 Assistance League chapters nationwide. Last year the local group also provided 4,700 assault survivor kits to police agencies and shelters, monthly parties for adults at a Tempe adult day care center, three spelling bees and 14 college scholarships. The organization welcomes new members as well as donations of any kind. For more information on Assistance League, go to www. assistanceleagueeastvalley.org or call the thrift shop, 792-1600.

Printed registration packets are now available. They may be found on the counter in the Art Studio across from the Rec. 1 Theater. Just fill out the registration form for each of the media you are entering (photography, painting & drawing, or 3D) and submit to Bob Bennett at the address on the form. Forms and entry fee checks can either be dropped off at his manor or mailed in time to be received by the deadline. (If forms are unavailable, please notify the art show chair: Charlene Ingerson, 699-0363, [email protected] or the show treasurer: Bob Bennett, 361-2530, [email protected] Registration forms for the show may also be downloaded from the Photography Club’s website at www.leisureworldphotographyclub.com. If you would like to enter this art show, but won’t be returning to Leisure World until after the deadline, you can download the registration and entry forms from the Photography Club’s website or contact either of our co-chairs who can email you both forms to print out, complete, and mail with your check for the entry fees to meet the Nov. 3 registration date. Even if you won’t be returning until after the show, you’re welcome to ship your work to a Leisure World friend to enter for you, as long as you have already sent your registration. We’re looking forward to a terrific show. If you’re an artist, we hope you’ll choose to be a part of it. If you’re a viewer, please plan to stop by on Nov. 18 to see the wealth of talent and creativity that resides in Leisure World and cast your vote for the People’s Choice Awards. And, just like last year, there will be an ongoing bucket raffle during the event. You can place your tickets against the prize you want – which will be pieces of art ready to hang on your wall or give as a gift. Prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the show, and you don’t have to be present to win. Five beautiful pieces will be raffled off and will be on display during the show. This show’s important dates: Registration deadline for exhibitors is Friday, Nov. 3; the show will be held on Saturday, Nov. 18, with the hanging party and formal judging to take place on Friday, Nov. 17.

We LOVE to see you SMILE!

Couple shares recipe for long happy life!

Submitted by Joann Chokrach Joseph and Lillian Abelman have been married for 78 years and recently celebrated birthdays in September. Joseph was born Sept. 19,1917, in San Antonio, Texas. In 1933, before his 16th birthday, he had to lie about his age so he could join the Civilian Conservation Corps, a Public Work Relief Program of the New Deal (from 1933-1942). He worked with the CCC in New Mexico and Arizona before making his way to Los Angeles, Calif., in 1935. Lillian Williams was born Sept. 3, 1920, in Los Angeles, Calif. In the summer of 1935, she and a few school friends decided to go to a dance in Los Angeles. It was there that Joseph first met Lillian. They dated for the next three years, while Lillian finished high school and Joseph left the CCC to work as an elevator operator at Barker Brothers Furniture Store in Los Angeles. Advertised as the “largest furniture store in the country,” the store’s clientele included celebrities of all kinds including movie stars, all of whom always talked to Joseph, (“Fourth floor please”). They were married in 1939 after Lillian turned 18. Their son Stephen was born on Christmas Day, 1941. During WWII, while Joseph was serving in the army, Lillian worked as riveter, first at North American Aviation and later at Lockheed. When the war ended, Joseph was among the original American occupational forces stationed in Japan. What he remembers most about his year in Japan, was the children. They were afraid at first, but their curiosity got the best of them and they came out to meet the American GI’s. One of the things Joseph missed most during his year in Japan was French fries! A family he met, learned of his craving. Japan didn’t have white potatoes, but they did have sweet potatoes. So, Joseph was treated to sweet potato fries more than a half a century before they became “trendy.” Joseph shared another treasured memory, of a high ranking Japanese military officer shaking his hand. Joseph said he couldn’t believe that such a high ranking Japanese military officer would cross the street to shake the hand of an American Corporal.

After the war, the couple settled in California, raising their family. Daughters Peggy arrived in 1949 and Karen in 1951. Joseph worked as an engineer for North American Aviation and later, Lockheed. He spent another 10 years selling real estate in California before moving to Hawaii in 1978. In 1988, they decided to move back to California so they could see their children more often. (Although Lillian confesses, they saw their kids more often while they were in Hawaii, than they did after their return to the mainland). The return to California was problematic. Prices had escalated drastically during the 10 years they were in Hawaii, making it unaffordable. So, they headed north, to Eugene, Oregon. “After three years of never seeing the sun,” Lillian and Joseph decided to head for Arizona. In 1992, they moved to Leisure World. Joseph found the quiet, perfect for pursuing his lifetime hobbies of collecting stamps and coins. Lillian’s passion was golf. She played golf four days a week, until a fall five years ago curtailed her playing. Another shared passion Joseph and Lillian have is travel. During their 78 years of marriage they have visited, Europe, South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Panama, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and China to name a few. When asked about what he attributed to making it to his 100th birthday, Joseph replied, “Getting out of bed every morning.” Lillian pointed out that Joseph has a brother who is 95, and thinks “it’s good genes.” The couple works out in the Fitness Center twice a week. They claim it helps them have more energy and keeps them mobile and alert. Lillian’s advice for newcomers to Leisure World is “Enjoy yourselves!” … and based on their example, that’s probably the best recipe for having a long and healthy life.

The Abelmans, Joseph, 100 and Lillian, 97 exercise in the Fitness Center twice a week.

On Sept. 23, family from Virginia, Texas, California and Arizona gathered to help Joe celebrate being a centenarian! Congratulations to Joseph and Lillian! May you both enjoy many more birthdays!

We love Leisure World residents!

LW Foundation Friends Campaign

Submitted by Sandra Lackore Our mission is to provide charitable relief to help meet the needs of elderly, disabled and distressed persons in the Mesa, Arizona and nearby areas, including the Leisure World community. The Leisure World Foundation is a 501 c (3) charitable organization whose leaders are all volunteers. Less than 3 percent of all donations are used for administrative purposes. The Foundation Friends Committee is now conducting its 2017 Annual Campaign. Your gift to the Endowment Fund will help assure the continuation of the Leisure World Foundation, the many services we provide to our residents, and the continued improvement of our community. Friends Restricted Endowment Fund: The Friends Endowment Fund was established in 2013 to provide long term stability to your Foundation. It gives residents the opportunity to make a lasting impact on our community. This permanent fund, with an initial goal of one million dollars is invested for long term growth. Up to 5% of the fund earnings may be withdrawn in any year, with the money used to carry out the Foundation’s Mission. Of the more than $330,000 now under investment, $85,000 is from the Friends Campaign. Undesignated gifts for the work of the Foundation: To carry on the work of your Foundation, undesignated gifts become part of the annual operating budget. Including providing matchings funds for projects within Leisure World. These contributions allow your Foundation to continue carrying out its mission and are welcome throughout the year. Gifts in Memory of or in Honor of a particular individual can be made at any time and are promptly acknowledged by the Foundation. Donor Designated Funds: Your Foundation facilitates donor designated giving to approved Leisure World projects. Our very first project was to equip the new Fitness Center in 2005. Over the years, we have helped our community grow and improve through supporting major improvements such as the complete renovation of Rec. 2 including new pools/spa, Coyote Run Pro Shop, the craft building at Rec. 1; new Tennis and Pickleball complexes, security cameras, automatic doors and now the renovation of the Billiards Room. NOTE: Applications for Challenge Day Grants will be considered in December. Grant applications are on the counter in the Administration Building, outside of the LW News Office in an easel, on the counter. They can be returned to the Foundation by placing them in the mail slot in the Administration Building.

Library Lines

Submitted by Richard Mack Fall brings many good things. It brings the harvest; it brings cool weather; and it brings back our seasonal LW neighbors to mention a few of the good things. Soon the pace of life in Leisure World will quicken as our calendar of activities gets underway. Welcome back to all. Let the fun begin! Mini Book Sale: October’s mini book sale will be held on Thursday, Oct. 12 from noon until 1:30 p.m. This sale is our “preview” of the selections that will be available at the Fall Semi-annual Book Sale in November. The “preview” sale affords LW residents an exclusive first opportunity to purchase the very best books before the November sale which is open to the general public. I consider this a “curated” sale in the best sense of the word. Our Book Sale Chair and staff have years of experience in determining book quality and condition together with the likelihood of their appeal to our readers. So, get here early for the best selection and enjoy finding that special book for yourself or to give as a gift. Volunteers: The first volunteers’ workshop of the season will be held in the Queen Card Room at Rec. 1 on Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 9 a.m. All volunteers are expected to attend monthly workshops at which library practices and procedures are discussed. Book Review: I’ve chosen two mystery novels to bring to your attention because they are both distinguished by fine writing and engaging plots and characters. The first, “Earthly Remains” by highly praised author Donna Leon is another superb addition to her series featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti. I consider each mystery in the series to be a gem; thoroughly civilized and wonderfully atmospheric. All are set in Venice, a city rich in Renaissance splendor and romantic images. Having lived in the city for 30 years, Leon brings the reader an insider’s knowledge of the city’s charms. You feel the rhythms of everyday life in Venice. This is one of most appealing aspects of the series. Protagonist Guido Brunetti loves his city in spite of its foibles and the never-ending flood of tourists that tries the patience of all Venetians. As we join him in “Earthly Remains” he is nearing the end of his patience with an arrogant witness in a murder investigation. Finally, he has had it! He acts rashly and immediately regrets it. He desperately needs a break in his routine. When Brunetti is granted leave from the police department, his wife, Paola, suggests that he rest at the villa of a relative on Sant’Erasmo, one of the largest islands in the laguna of Venice. There he passes his days rowing in the luguna and his evenings reading classical literature. Ah, peace and quiet; what a joy. Until, however, Davide Casati, the caretaker of the villa goes missing in a sudden storm. Ever the detective, Brunetti feels obligated to investigate Casati’s disappearance. Abandoning his leave of absence, Brunetti explores Casati’s twisted journey and the hidden past wherein lies an unexpected and shocking truth. My second suggestion is “In This Grave Hour, A Maisie Dobbs novel” by Jacqueline Winspear. Fans of detective Maisie Dobbs, and I am one, eagerly await each new installment in Winspear’s acclaimed series.

9

“In This Grave Hour” does not disappoint. It is September 1939 and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain has broadcast to the nation that Britain has declared War with Germany. Dobbs is thrust into the thick of things when a secret service agent hires her to find the killer of a man who escaped occupied Belgium as a boy some 23 years earlier during the Great War. That murder and the subsequent killing of another Belgium may have an important impact on current events. As Maisie delves into international intrigue, she is also called upon to aid with “Operation Pied Piper,” the evacuation of British children from soon to be bombed cities to safe havens in the countryside. As Maisie’s search for the killer escalates, the nation braces for the first bombs to fall. Britain awaits its gravest hour and Maisie could be nearing a crossroads of her own.

Lifestyles...Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Submitted by Ronda Gates October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! It is also National Bullying Prevention Month, National Dental Hygiene Month, National Physical Therapy Month. These are just a few of 30 focused health related campaigns you will hear and/or read about in October. Some of these campaigns last a week and others, including Walk and Bike to School Day on Oct. 4, (promoted my bike store owner brother) are day vs. month celebrations. When I realized the breadth and depth of these national initiatives I couldn’t help but wonder, how did these focused campaigns get started? My research (including U.S. Statutes at Large which has published every public and private law, concurrent resolutions, proclamations by the Presidents, and so forth, passed by Congress since 1845) was unsuccessful when it came to attempting to find out when the practice of promoting national observances began. I did discover that the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion began compiling health observance dates and publishing them in 1982 and that the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services manages these focused educational observances under healthfinder.gov. If you visit https://healthfinder. gov/NHO/nhoyear.aspx?year=2017 you can find the campaign list for the remainder of 2017. There’s also a link there that will reveal more about how these observances influence legislation. I am on the Advisory Board for Breastcancer.org so breast cancer awareness is of particular interest to me. No, I’ve not had breast cancer, but my sister is a survivor who was diagnosed and treated more than 10 years ago. I learned then, and since that there are many types of breast cancer. Originally breast cancer was described as invasive (infiltrating) breast cancer where cancerous cells have broken through normal breast tissue and spread to other parts of the body or noninvasive (sometimes

called “in situ”) breast cancer where the cancer cells remain in a particular location of the breast (including ductal and lobular cancer) without spreading to surrounding tissue. There are also categories that describe recurrent and metastatic (spread to other areas) adenocystic, phyllodes tumor and angiosacrcoma breast disease. In short, a diagnosis is as distinctive as the person who gets it. Thanks to genomic research there are more specific classifications including the 20 percent that are HER2 positive, the 20 percent that are triple-negative. There’s a useful graphic for those interested on breast cancer types at http://www.cancercenter.com/~/media/Images/Others/Misc/Types-Breast-Cancerinfographic-06-07-16.jpg#Understanding%20breast%20cancer. When an individual is diagnosed with breast cancer doctors will figure out how widespread the cancer is based on what’s called “staging.” This provides further information in deciding how to treat the disease (and the potential for success). This column is too space limited to list all these, but there is great information at: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/breast-cancer/understandinga-breast-cancer-diagnosis/stages-of-breast-cancer.html. This site also provides a “take this to your doctor” list of questions you will want your health care professional to know. The site also adds important questions to ask as your treatment plan is established, covers questions if surgery is recommended and what to ask during and after treatment. You may be astonished to learn that men also get breast cancer although the incidence is rare—less than one percent of all breast cancers. Indeed, during the research for this article I discovered two male friends being treated for this disease. Like most diseases, there are, in addition to genetic (family of origin) history, there are many risk factors for getting a breast cancer diagnosis including age, alcohol use, history (or not) of breastfeeding, diet, environmental factors, use of hormone re-

EMERGENCY 911

If you have an emergency situation, please dial 911 immediately to get help right away! Please do not call the Security Department.

“Why?” you ask.

The 911 operator needs details about the emergency situation and has many questions that secuity staff cannot answer. It takes precious time away from getting the proper help and the operator can determine which services to dispatch. The 911 operator also normally calls LW Security to alert them of the emergency and to inquire about the quickest access to reach the person(s) in need. Thank you for your cooperation.

placement therapy, obesity, some prescription medications and smoking. Although breast cancer typically produces no symptoms when the tumor is small and most easily treated, self-screening is the best method for early diagnosis and treatment. Breast pain or changes to the breast, nipple abnormalities are often visible before a lump might be discovered. In October you will see many pamphlets, clinics and TV demonstrations to teach us how to selfexamine breast tissue for detection. If you aren’t currently doing a monthly self exam, it’s important to start TODAY! Once the diagnosis occurs, there are now an overwhelming menu of treatment options to “fight the complex mix of cells in each individual cancer.” It is absolutely essential that a patient and his or her family have a close and trusting relationship with the health care providers they will encounter as the disease is treated. Depending on the individual diagnosed with breast cancer and the chosen treatment regimen, a patient needs to understand their immune system, know how to manage the fatigue that typically accompanies treatment, and how to communicate with family and friends about the diagnosis. The good news, according to the American Cancer Society, a diagnosis of breast cancer is no longer accompanied with the news you may have a shortened life. Like many of you I believe “big pharma” has overpriced medications and treatments. They have also discovered more and more options for treating the disease. Treatment often eliminates the disease; especially if discovered in an early stage. Early detection and treatment saves lives. Being informed and proactive is the best medicine for treating any disease, including breast cancer. If you haven’t discovered your self advocacy gene for being pro active, find someone who will advocate for you to attend every doctor’s appointment, treatment and support session. Think of taking care of yourself more than you ever have. The life you save will be your own.

Presented by New Frontiers of Lifelong Learning In this great big, wide, wonderful world we live in, it is neither safe nor smart to be ignorant of the basic wellsprings of other people, namely their faiths; where you come from is not the only place to be.

The course is presented on DVD by Prof. Mark Berkson of Hamline University, where he is Assoc. Prof. and Chair of the Religion Department. Educated at Princeton and Stanford, he completed a Ph.D. in Religious Studies and Humanities. But beyond academia, Dr. Berkson has made a point of bringing the breadth of human and religious thinking to humanity through hundreds of presentations. Mondays through Dec. 18.

Understand its contribution. Feel its elegance. The course is presented on DVD by Benjamin Schumacher, Ph. D, Professor of Physics at Kenyon college. Dr. Schumacher is a leading-edge researcher in quantum mechanics; he invented quantum data compression and is a leading contributor to quantum computing, including the now standard term “qubit”.

Cultural Literacy for Religion: Everything the well-educated should know

In this great big, wide, wonderful world we live in, it is neither safe nor smart to be ignorant of the basic wellsprings of other people, namely their faiths; where you come from is not the only place to be.

Prof. and Chair of the Religion Department. Educated at Princeton and Stanford, he completed a Ph.D. in Religious Studies and Humanities. Mondays, 10 a.m. – Noon in the Theater, through Dec. 18.

Outreach Outlook

Nurses’ Corner... Flu Season

Submitted by Randi Rich, RN Every year, the influenza vaccine is modified to best fight new strands of the virus in the next flu season. An annual vaccine for influenza is recommended for all people over the age of six months to prevent the illness. The flu shot is highly recommended for anyone over the age of 65. This age group is often at a higher risk of complications with the flu. According to the Centers for Disease Control, vaccine effectiveness can vary. This is the reason for small changes that are made to the vaccine every year. With these changes, the CDC hopes to protect from the most virulent strains of the virus. The CDC also recommends receiving a flu shot to protect against spreading the virus. The flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. Because these two types of illnesses have similar symptoms, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. The symptoms of flu can include fever or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. Cold symptoms are usually milder than the symptoms of flu. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. Colds generally do not result in serious health problems. Here are some quick and easy steps to help you stay healthy! •WASH YOUR HANDS for at least 20 seconds with soap and water! This is the number one thing you can do to prevent illness. •Don’t touch your face. Even if germs are on your hands, they can’t enter the body unless you touch your eyes, nose or mouth.

•If your doctor recommends it, get a flu shot. •Don’t share food, drinks, lipstick/chapstick or toothpaste with other people. •Clean doorknobs and bathrooms with disinfecting cleaner often. When using the Fitness Center equipment, make sure to wipe off the equipment when you are finished. •Let fresh air into your home at least once a week even if it is extremely cold outside. Allowing fresh air in will help to get stale, unhealthy air out and fresh air in. •Get plenty of sleep and drink plenty of water so that your body will be able to fight off illness. •Stay home if you are sick! The Health Office will hold FLU CLINICS this fall. Safeway will again be on site to administer the Flu and Pneumonia Vaccines. They will administer Fluzone HD (high dosage), regular Flu vaccine, and Prevnar (pneumonia). Bring your Medicare card and insurance cards to the clinic. Medicare pays for Flu and Prevnar at no cost. Everyone who receives a Flu shot will be awarded a 10% off grocery coupon. For those without insurance: •Regular Flu Shots - $26 •Fluzone HD - $59.99 •Prevnar - $220

Submitted by Marguerite Huspen, Outreach Specialist Every day creates an opportunity for us to improve something in our lives! Selfimprovement might be physical, like starting a new exercise program or taking an exercise class; mental, like learning a new language or reading a self-help book for wisdom; or even emotional, such as using forgiveness to help shift our emotions and move forward. Here are a few ideas for self-improvement that can create positive changes in our life: Read or learn about someone inspirational. Let go of a bad habit and cultivate a new good one. Read a book – the more you read the more do so – one can never be too kind. Set a 30-day wisdom you expose yourself to. Pick up a new hobby, language or take a course goal or challenge. Get a coach or a mentor. Give yourself break time when needed.Volin something that interests you. Get out of your comfort zone – try something unteer new.

And, once a year, we do a trip (either a couple of days or a week or so), again, without ever knowing where we are going. We have 25-27 couples; that is all the big coach busses can accommodate. A “Welcome Back” cocktail party will be held on Oct. 23 at 4 p.m. in the Rec. 1 Clubroom. The dates for events have been confirmed and it is going to be another year of fun “Mystery Trips.” Orriene Fender and Arnie Strouse, Sue (Sinclair) and Frank have had a fun time checking on new events.

Pickleball

Submitted by Ronda Gates In October, Pickleball activities residents enjoyed through the summer will continue as we prepare to launch a busy season in November. On Mondays at 7 p.m. round robin for level 2.0-3.0 players will continue. Although this is a program for club members, visitors and guests to Leisure World continue to find this event as a place to get an introduction to this fast-growing activity. Members only will also continue to be invited to play during Saturday night socially oriented ladder play. These evening events have been especially enjoyable thanks to new, brighter lights that assure we can see the ball as the days get shorter. Members can look forward to mid-October launch of our new club website which, in addition to meeting announcements and information for members only, will list social events, red robin play, available lessons for current and prospective members, clinics, parties, BBQ and potlucks. In short, stay tuned and watch for these developments at lwpickleball.com. The first Pickleball Club meeting for the upcoming season is Nov. 1 at 5 p.m. in the Clubroom. For questions about the club, contact president, Colleen Wolkosky, vice president, Larry Beert, secretary Ronda Gates, treasurer Bill Gunn or social director, Cindi Adams.

United Way Golf Tournament

Submitted by Travis Fish, Director of Golf The annual Leisure World Charity Golf Tournament benefiting Mesa United Way will be held Saturday, Nov. 9 at the community’s Coyote Run golf course. Registration at 7 a.m., followed by the shotgun start at 8. Our community is pleased to host this tournament every year for two reasons: First, we get tremendous satisfaction in helping Mesa United Way and the great work they do. Second, we get to showcase our beautiful community and its world-class golf courses with an event that everyone enjoys. Having fun and a great time while giving to a worthwhile charity is the tournament’s emphasis. This year we have two hole-in-one prizes, closest to the pin competitions, large raffle prizes and some exciting door prizes. The course will have some holes with huge cups and some with multiple cups and other fun activities; all this in a format of a twoperson team scramble. Players are welcome to enter individually or as teams, and tourney organizers will match individual entrants with teammates. Mulligans and raffle tickets can be purchased at sign-up. Entry fee for residents is a $70 donation to Mesa United Way. The donation will cover green fees, practice balls breakfast and lunch. Checks should be made payable to Mesa United Way. Residents may charge their account. Entrants can sign-up for the tournament at the Coyote Run golf shop, 634-4370. Although Leisure World is a gated community, our residents and employees are keenly aware of the needs of the surrounding community. Mesa United Way helps fund 44 programs administered by 29 reputable organizations that benefit people in need, from at-risk youth and struggling families to homebound elderly people. The work they do is just amazing and we’ve believed for years that we should do what we can to support it. “We are truly blessed having Leisure World as a partner,” said Mark Young, Mesa United Way’s resource development director. “Their support has been unwavering over the years, and has continued to grow. They are role models for other community organizations.” The Leisure World Community Association employees and residents are proud to serve as an example for other homeowner associations with our support of the Mesa United Way Campaign.

Rookie League

Submitted by Travis Fish, Director of Golf The Leisure World golf professionals think you need more fun in your life! If you haven’t tried golf, we think you should! If you’ve contemplated playing golf we want to help you REALLY enjoy your experience. If you have played golf once or twice, but it didn’t appeal to you, we want the chance to show you how fun and social the game can be. The Leisure World golf staff has been busy planning for the upcoming 2017-2018 Rookie League season. We had such a successful season last year we can’t wait to see what we can accomplish with our rookies this year! This league provides a venue for those who think they would enjoy the game to experience it with less stress until they perfect their skills. We make every effort in the rookies to let players know – it’s okay to not keep score, it’s okay to play from the shortest tees or the 150-yard marker, it’s okay to skip a hole if you need a break, and most importantly it’s okay to play golf just for fun! As in past seasons, volunteer mentors are encouraged to play with the Rookie League. The goal of the Heron Lakes Rookie League is to make your golf experience fun and to help you enjoy golf at Leisure World. Our golf shop staff would like to invite everyone that is interested in joining the Rookie League out to our practice facility at Coyote Run on Wednesday, Nov. 1 at 10:30 a.m. We are holding a welcome clinic and mixer. Snacks and refreshments will be provided for your enjoyment.

Coyote Run Womens Golf Association

Submitted by Jeanne Gardin Tuesday, Nov. 7 marks the first play day for the 18 hole Women’s Golf Association at Coyote Run Golf Course with a 12:30 p.m. shotgun. A Welcome Pizza Party and general meeting will be held after golf on Nov. 14. All women wishing to play for the 2017-2018 season are asked to complete the application found on the website www.leisureworldgolfarizona.com and either drop it off at the pro shop prior to Nov. 7 or bring it with you the first time you play along with your yearly dues. The CRWGA is a fun group with new and exciting events awaiting us this coming year! New tee boxes will be available to choose from making golf more fun for all levels of ability. In addition to the red tees and gold tees, we now will be able to choose the new green tees, which is a combination of the red and gold, more appropriate for the intermediate player. Watch for next month’s news about growing Girls Golf and upcoming tournaments. Be sure to sign up to play by 10 a.m. on Monday before play day and indicate which tees you will be playing from. We look forward to welcoming all women golfers to our organization.

During the welcome clinic, we will be giving basic golf instruction to help the rookies familiarize themselves with the game of golf. We would also like to encourage previous mentors, former graduates of the Rookie League or any hopeful volunteers to come out and join us, helping kick off our season in grand fashion. We look forward to your participation in our Rookie League program at Heron Lakes. For more information, please contact Travis Fish, 634-4370. Every Wednesday starting Nov. 8 at 1:30 p.m. (golf starts at 2 p.m.) the Rookie League will once again open its arms to brand new golfers as well as golfers that have been out of the game for a while. If you don’t have a cart or even golf clubs, our golf shop staff does its best to accommodate everyone. We look forward to achieving even more Rookie League fun and success this year. Each week the golf staff reserves nine holes at Heron Lakes especially for the Rookie League. This helps create that relaxed environment that makes it easier for everyone to learn and have fun. We do our best to pair three new golfers with one of our volunteer golf mentors to traverse nine holes, playing simple games and assisting them in the ways of golf etiquette, how to keep score and basic golf rules. Following play, a social hour is held in the golfer’s lounge which offers our new golfers a chance for a question and answer session while they relax and mingle with other members and mentors of the Rookie League. If you haven’t been a golf member before and are looking for a way to get started in golf or get back into golf, Leisure World offers a discounted membership rate for those that start out in the Rookie League.

Heron Lakes Men’s 18 Hole Golf Club

Submitted by Jim Pasek Aug. 21 competition was two-man team, one best-ball on some holes, two on others. Miraculously, everyone figured out which was which. Six under won first place. Bob Wilkins needed a blind draw to secure first place, he drew “lucky” John Mullen. Ed Whitcomb and “Jolten” Joe Miola took second with a net 87, five under par. Last place at four under par was the “Don” team, Steffan and Duesenberg. The last Monday in August was individual low-net and lowgross competition. Otherwise, “You are on your own Bub.” No partners to blame. And the winners were: Rich Blum, gross 70 and Ted Richardson, gross 74. John Mullen won the net completion with a 55, Bob Wilkins came in second with a 59. Actually, John Mullen shot a gross 69, could have won both gross and net, however, rules prevail, he can only be awarded one. Way to “Knock and Roll,” John. There was no Men’s Club competition on Labor Day. The week after on Sept. 11, we played two-man best-ball on all holes but 5 and 12 where both balls counted. Rich Blum and “Jolten” Joe Miola ran away with the competition, scoring a sensational 14 under par. Rich had three deuces! Five strokes behind were John Mullen and Dennis Vogts and third and last was the twosome of Bill Irving and Jim Pasek at six under par.

Hot Tips with your Head Golf Professional V 55.0 Submitted by Shane Romesburg The most common request I hear from golfers seeking lessons is “I want to hit the ball farther.” As we all age and lose flexibility, we also lose clubhead speed and distance in our golf shots. How many times have you heard someone say, “I used to hit this 8 Iron 150 yards, now it only goes 125?” So, to increase distance, most golfers will take the club back as far as they can, thinking this will increase their distance, when all they are doing is losing clubhead speed and power. Let me share with you a drill to increase power in your golf shots. While you may not hit the 8 Iron 150 yards again, you will hit it more than 125 yards.

43

COYOTE RUN

CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE - 18 HOLE PAR 73-YARDAGE 6,174 Open 7 A.M. - 4 P.M. Shotguns 8 A.M. & 12:30 P.M. 480-634-4370 or 480-634-4218

Many LW golfers, especially the ladies, take the club back too far and their wrists collapse at the top of the backswing. This zaps all the power from your golf swing and increases the chances for a mishit. Using an 8 Iron, make a backswing until your left arm is parallel to the ground. At this point the club should be at a 90-degree angle to your left arm. From here, slowly rotate your shoulders to the top of your backswing, keeping the 90-angle. The amount of turn you make will depend solely on your flexibility. Most golfers cannot turn much more than the original position of left arm parallel to the ground. Thinking they need to take the club all the way back to hit it farther, the wrists breakdown. This causes you to flip the club on the downswing, resulting in complete loss of power, and some sort of mishit. Next time you are at the range, try this drill: Take the club back, so the left arm is parallel to the ground. You should actually hit balls from this position. With practice, you will see that your power doesn’t come from how far back you take the golf club, but from how consistently and squarely you apply the clubhead back to the golf ball.

Golf Fun Facts Submitted by Scott Van Engelen, Heron Lakes Manager

MYTH:

If your ball is unplayable, you’re entitled to a drop in a spot that gives you a “playable” lie.

FACT:

You have three options (under penalty of one stroke) if you declare a ball unplayable: 1. Replay the previous shot; 2. Drop a ball behind the point where the ball lay, keeping that point directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped, with no limit how far behind that point the ball may be dropped; 3. Drop within two club-lengths of the spot where the ball lay, no closer to the hole. Keep in mind that none of these options guarantee that you’ll be able to play from an unfettered position.

Mixed Chorus

Submitted by Bruce Collier, Manor 1327 How has your summer been? Ours here has been warm (understatement) but also not good for the pipes! We haven’t been singing enough! But that calamity looks to be solved this month. As we are known to do in these parts, the chorus begins tuning up in October and just maybe you would like to see what it’s all about. Get out your sleds, polish your runners…we’re thinking Christmas is near! Our two chorus shows in December will be here before you know it, and the practice room in Rec. 2 will be humming with rehearsals beginning Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 1 p.m., continuing every Tuesday and Thursday until show time in December. Although we have anywhere from 50 to 70 songbirds dedicated to putting on great shows, we know that whether you’ve been procrastinating, you always wanted to join us, or you just moved here, this is going to be your year to take flight! We’ve all been there, haven’t we? You did some singing in school, your family gushed when you karaoked, you became famous at parties…Whatever happened, take that smoldering talent and come to our first practice this month, immediately! We’ll be learning some great holiday material, such as… “Sounds of the season,” “A caroling we go,” “Winter wonderland,” “Rockin’ down the chimney tonight,” “Christmas with you,” “Madrigal of the bells,” “Do you hear what I hear?,” “Carol of the bells,” “Mary did you know?,” “Sing Noel,” “Glory to God” and…our perennial show stopper… “The Hallelujah Chorus.” The chorus rehearsal room is behind the Hopi Pima Auditorium, across from the Rec. 2 pool. Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning Oct. 3, 1 p.m. start. If you’re a singer, it’s your chance to shine! See you then!

Big Band

Submitted by Jeanine Taylor Thank goodness vacation will soon be over and our winter musicians will be coming back. We are ready to begin our weekly practices for 2017-2018.

We will be in the Hopi Room at Rec. 2 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. every Tuesday. Please plan on joining us, whether to dance or just toe tap. We promise you will enjoy great music, good company and delicious cookies and coffee.
