Community Association To Establish Neighborhood Representatives

The Board of Directors of Sun City Festival Community Association is soliciting applications from residents interested in being considered for appointments as Neighborhood Representatives. Neighborhood Representatives serve in advisory capacities as liaisons between the Board of Directors and residents of their respective neighborhoods in communicating issues of interest or concern. A total of two residents (a primary and alternate) from each neighborhood will be appointed by the board after being duly elected by majority vote of the homeowners in each neighborhood. The Neighborhood Representatives will form a body to be known as the Neighborhood Representatives Council, and will meet with the Board on a quarterly basis. Interested candidates should submit a letter of intent which acknowledges their interest in serving as a Neighborhood Representative and include any background information they wish to share with the Board to Bruce Friedman, the Community Manager, in the Sage Center. Formal elections and subsequent Board appointments are planned for March/April 2011.

Four teams in each of three divisions will compete for ten fun-filled days. Three teams are from Sun City Festival. Come on out and cheer on the players!

Mens Golf Group Raises Money For USO Donation

On November 11, 2010 the Sun City Festival Mens Golf Group conducted their Annual Veterans Day Tournament with over 72 participants. Local businesses supported the tournament with a number of great prizes. This generosity along with the golf participants allowed the Mens Golf Group to raise over $1,125 to support our troops through the local Phoenix USO Chapter. On December 7, 2010 the Mens Golf Group presented the check to Ms. Ann Theodosis, Director of the Phoenix Chapter of United Services Organization (USO). These funds are earmarked to support the new USO Welcome Center at Sky Harbor International Airport, where out troops can relax in comfort while awaiting flights to their new duty assignments. Great job Mens Golf Group!

Get Past The Plateau

Have you reached a fitness plateau? If you continue to exercise and seem to get little or no results, maybe you have reached a plateau. A plateau is only natural. Consider the body as a stimulus-response mechanism. The stimulus of exercise creates the response of fitness. The body will respond to the same stimulus only so much. In order to get more response (greater fitness the stimulus (exercise) needs to be changed or increased. This can be accomplished with some easy steps. INCREASE THE INTENSITY - In the case of cardiovascular exercise, this means going faster or increasing resistance. Try adding a little more speed or incline while on the treadmill. For the stationary bike or the elliptical machine, increase the speed (pedal faster) or increase the resistance level the machine provides. These tricks make the body work harder, increasing the exercise stimulus. Another way to accomplish this is with interval training. During by Chuck Eier, M.S. C.S.C.S. one session of aerobic exercise, alternate periods harder and easier effort, by doing even work and rest periods (2 minutes work, 2 minutes rest), or any other combination of work and rest. For weight training, its as simple as adding the amount of weight lifted such as five pounds on two or three exercises. Chances are pretty good the same number of sets and repetitions will still be completed. However, more effort will be required. PUMP UP THE VOLUME - This is as simple as doing more exercise. Guidelines for aerobic exercise are most days of the week and 40-60 minutes each time. Adding an additional day of exercise can work wonders for breaking a fitness plateau. Or, simply add more time to each exercise session like five or ten minutes. With weight training, add one or two additional exercises to get greater results. A preferred method is to increase the exercises done with the large muscles-legs, back or chest. Doing additional sets on current exercises can also bring additional benefits and challenge to the body. TRY SOMETHING NEW - Doing the same exercise eventually yields fewer or no results. Try switching from the treadmill to the elliptical trainer or from a stationary bike to the treadmill. While using the same muscles, this will change how the body works and create more of a challenge. Switch weight exercises from machines to dumbbells or vice-versa. Try some body-weight exercises (push-ups, dips, pull-ups) instead of using resistance devices. Any shift in how exercise is performed changes the stimulus and thus the response of the body. When the exercise no longer seems to provide any benefit, you may be at a fitness plateau. The body has now adapted to the challenge of exercise. A plateau is easily passed by changing exercise intensity, volume or type. Plus, any exercise can be modified to provide additional challenge and benefit. Not only can you get past a plateau, exercise will now become new, different and challenging when changes are included.

Visits to Arizona led to a move from Seattle.

RESIDENT PROFILE Chrystal & John Weinberg

After years of coming to Arizona for Spring Training games, Chrystal talked her husband, John, into visiting with the idea of moving from the Seattle area. After looking at the Del Webb communities on the internet, they arrived in August 2007 to see if they could stand the heat. They arrived in May 2008 (after finding their new home in March) to continue their lives in the Valley of the Sun. John is a retired manufacturing engineer from Boeing and Chrystal continues working virtually with her clients in the State of Washington. Leaving the gray rain and unreasonably cold weather was not a hard decision. They have been married 36+ years and believe it is amazing that spending so much time together has left no one maimed for life! Chrystal loves to read and is the organizer of record for the Sun City Festival Singers. John enjoys golf and photography and both enjoy traveling, and are looking forward to a return trip to Japan. They both love most sports (particularly baseball), walking, working out at the Sage Fitness Center, and sharing time with new friends.
