From the EditorBy Ruth Wilson

Once again, husband Bruce and I are enjoying the beauty, wonderful activities and exceptional entertainment of Logan, Utah, through the “Summer Citizens” pro-gram now celebrating its 40th year. Due to the vision of Utah State University, Cache Valley Visitors Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce, many senior citizens from Arizona, California and Texas are privy to a vast array of benefits.

The Utah Festival Opera & Musi-cal Theatre performs operas and musical shows: “Porgy & Bess”, “Ragtime” and

“Singin’ In the Rain” are only a few of the extraordinary productions and I’ve been told “as good as any Broadway show, probably better.” Hundreds of singers, actors and musicians from all over the country come to Logan to present a season of spectacular performances.

Utah State’s Education Program has an assortment of classes. Friend Deanna Anderson and I took a week’s class at USU entitled “The Lyric Repertory Company – An Insider’s Guide From Page to The Stage” which took us behind the scenes of the Lyric Theatre where we learned how to process a stage production with a series of guest lectures by directors, actors and designers. Also included was an actual tour of the Lyric from back stage to actually being on the stage. There are classes offered in technology (I-phone, tablet, laptop, etc.), current and world events…there’s something for everyone.

Housing Opportunities Available: There are several types of properties available from a 3-month lease on campus at USU, off campus in student apartments or several hotels if you wish to stay for one month or less. However, a few apartments will work with folks if planning to stay less than 3 months.

Our apartment complex, D’s Bridgerland Apartments, are one of those willing to accommodate your individual needs and we think the best deal in town at $1,500 for 3 month’s rent. Besides all the other activities available, D’s has potlucks, group dinners out, several games, a clubhouse and a library of books to read just in case you get bored. Owners, the Anderson family, have a wonderful history in the community both as a family and business proprietors, and they are great to work with. This is our 4th year staying with them and we’re already planning to return next year. If this sounds like a plug…you’re right, it is!!!

Start thinking about beating the heat next summer and coming up to Logan to enjoy the beautiful Cache Valley and its friendly people. We’d love to have you join us!

Fun Farewell for Esther Becker

The Cache Valley ConnectionBy Deanna AndersonIn early summer of this special year,Flowers explode in color, Trees choose their favorite green,And mountain tops wait patiently,(Already a magnificent scene),To enjoy the pristine winter snow That could be icing on a cake. So, quickly, a picture I must take,To prove the awesome beauty That is before me.In the telling of such an example Of the Lord’s expertise,Much would be lost as oral depiction Could not possibly appeaseMy expectations, nor yours.This must be viewed with eyes wide open, And a grateful heart.

Thirty years ago, Esther and her husband moved into a brand new condo in F.O.S. but now she’s starting a new chapter in her life by moving back to Minnesota to be with family. Friends and neighbors had a farewell party in her honor on June 23rd at Rochester’s.

Shown here, Emcee Billy Martin brought Esther up in front of the crowd that came to show their support and wish her well.(Photo by Jan Olson)

TION CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE AP-PLIES TO THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES &

MOBILE HOMES ONLY. IF YOU LIVE IN A CONDO OR PATIO HOME, PLEASE CON-TACT YOUR MANAGEMENT COMPANY.

We’ve had a busy summer getting things in order for our transition back to handling the col-lection of assessments and financials through the FOSHA office. We have been talking about this topic for several months now, yet surprisingly there are many homeowners that say they were not aware of this. We have a team of people behind the scenes to make this happen for FOSHA. Please help us to spread the word. A mailer explaining all details and payment options will be going out to all homeown-ers in mid-late August.

We hired an Administrative Assistant, Velvet Dahl in mid April. Velvet was offered a position that she couldn’t refuse and is no longer working for FOSHA. All the Best Wishes Velvet! There are no

current plans for a replacement. Please keep in mind when calling the office that in the event I am on the other line or am assisting another homeowner in the office, I may be unable to take your call at the time and it may go into voicemail. As with most business practices, I will make every effort to return calls as soon as possible or within the next business day.

Through the cooperation of our homeowners, we are continuing to gather email addresses so that we can send FOSHA periodic eBlasts as well as eStatements to pay Assessments. If you haven’t’ already done so, please provide your email address at [email protected].

By John MillarStreet Maintenance

work including patching of some areas, installa-tion of two valley gutters and sealcoating of several sections of streets has been completed as of July 14.

Our apologies for any inconveniences you may have experienced during this work. Street paving of a section of Coralbell west of the fountain intersec-tion and Desert Flower north of Coralbell is sched-uled to be completed by July 22nd. These projects help to preserve the streets by sealing them from damage caused by water and oxidations and also makes them look new again with the deep black color and new striping of all pavement markings.

I want to thank CD Donaldson, Blake Frey and Kevin Williams for their efforts in traffic control throughout the project as well as Captain Gary Tabanico and the security officers in FOS for their assistance. Traffic control and getting people to and from their homes safely is our primary concern throughout these projects. Thank you for your patience as I know this is never convenient to have happening next to your homes.

The summer monsoon season is upon us and it pays to be prepared in the event of extreme weather conditions and power outages. Today’s cell phones with their many functions can be a “Mobile Life-line” in the event of these or other emergencies. During extreme weather events, mobile devices can be essential tools for keeping in touch with family and neighbors. Before a severe storm hits, make sure your mobile device is prepared. If you have advanced warning of a severe weather event, make sure to fully charge your phone. Keep a car phone charger and spare battery on hand as well; if power is out for an extended period, your car can

serve as a valuable energy source. Many residents have canceled their home phone service and have only a cell phone, so keeping this device charged and nearby can be a life saver.

There have been a number of occasions in the past when family members have requested FOS Security officers to do a welfare check as they were unable to reach a resident by phone. In several cases, they had simply failed to charge their phone. Keeping your phone charger on your nightstand and charging it each night is a good habit to get into and puts your “Mobile Lifeline” near you in the event of an emergency.

Speeding - One ongoing issue in the FOS Com-munity is speeding by vehicles on our streets. This can create very dangerous conditions that could prove tragic. The following excerpt regarding pedestrian fatalities can be found in total at http://humantransport.org/sidewalks/SpeedKills.htm

Effects of Vehicle Speed on Pedestrian Fatalities:

Newton’s laws dictate that a doubling in vehicle speed results in a stopping distance four times as long and four times as much kinetic energy absorbed during an impact. For both stopping distances and the severity of crashes, speed matters. Traveling at 40 mph, the average driver who sights a pedestrian in the road 100 feet ahead will still be traveling 38 mph on impact: driving at 25 mph, the driver will have stopped before the pedestrian is struck.

Pedestrian traffic in Fountain of the Sun shares the streets with vehicular traffic and vice versa. This shared responsibility requires every person using the streets to observe the traffic laws, and be cognizant of the traffic you share the streets with. It really comes down to the fact that we need to value the life of our neighbors traveling the streets with us as much as we value our own.

Happenings from Heather

July Karaoke Extra SpecialBy Sheila Wianecki

Karaoke Happy Hours in July were so much fun as my friends helped me celebrate my birthday. We had a lot of new people coming to see what we’re all about too. I tried to talk to all of them and heard “we’ll be back”.

“Just for Fun” Karaoke isn’t what you normally think of when you hear the word “Karaoke”. Everything is very laid back: Some people come just to listen, some sing from their tables, some line dance, and some dance to the slow songs and rock ‘n roll. No matter what you choose to do, it’s guar-anteed to be a fun evening. Hope to see you at the upcoming Karaoke Happy Hours.

Our calendars are placed in the office lobby and also in the Activity Center lobby. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at (480) 695-2794, and remember that “Just for Fun” Karaoke is always free. Just BYOB and be ready to party!

A little note for those of you that have been asking or wondering: No, we are not the people that do Karaoke at Rochester’s. You can find us in the Activity Center every first and third Thursday every month throughout the year.

Karaoke Going StrongBy Sheila Wianecki

Karaoke Happy Hour is keeping busy this summer despite the fact that the winter visitors aren’t here. Why not come out and join us and see what we’re all about. We have professional equipment, almost 10,000 songs, and a sound man (Norm Van Houten) who does a terrific job.

We are in the Activity Center every first and third Thursday of the month from 6:00 - 9:00pm. Just BYOB and any snacks you want and get ready to have a great time. You can come and sing, dance, or just socialize with your friends. We have line dancing, too. We are “Just for Fun” and try to make the night fun for everyone.

If you have a special event like a birthday or anniversary, why don’t you come and celebrate it with us? We’ll make you feel special and you are welcome to bring your friends and family, a cake, anything that makes it a party for you. There is no cover charge or fee for Karaoke. We are always FUN and FREE, and everyone is welcome!Lending Closet

By Heather Roberts, Activities Director

If you received the July issue of the Sun Times, you saw the newest addition to Fountain of the Sun on the cover -- our brand-new digital marquee sign that has been installed near the front entrance just past the Guard House!

I am very proud of this new sign as it is the culmination of our fundraising events

over the past two years. We raised $8,822.16 from five “fundraiser parties,” received a $1,500 donation from the FOS Lions Club and col-lected $5,512 from the sale and raffle of our orange sunburst emblems. The total amount of money raised was $15,834.16 which exceeded the total cost of the sign at $11,831.48. The remaining amount could potentially be used towards replacing the second marquee sign in front of the Administration building in the future.

Our new sign will be used to advertise all of our events and activi-ties, can be programmed in advance and can even be updated remotely from the laptop in my office. The messages can be rotating or static with changing fonts, sizes and display speeds depending on the type of message we want to display. Being that there are more options

with this state-of-the-art sign, it will take some getting used to! I am still learning the software program but I am discovering how much potential this sign has and am very excited about it!

One benefit that we have already noticed is the traffic coming to a full stop at the stop sign by the Guard House in order to read the sign. Another benefit will be the savings of several hundred dollars that we have had to spend each year on replacement letters for the two old-style marquee signs. These letters wear out from being installed and removed from the sign frame every time a message is changed and just being out in the elements all day and night.

Also, the new digital sign will decrease the workload by half for our tireless volunteers, Russ Hall in the winter and the Wianeckis and Gronnebergs in the summer, but they will still spend countless hours in the cold and heat changing the letters on the one remaining old-style marquee sign. I really can’t thank them enough for taking on this job and appreciate all the hard work they put into maintaining our signs and keeping us all up to date!

You can keep up to date on all of the events and happenings in Fountain of the Sun by reading our marquee signs and by subscribing to the Sun Times Express weekly email blast. Just send me an email at [email protected] to be added to the list. Happy summer everyone!

John William Brady was born on June 27, 1920, in St. Louis, MO. He went to his heavenly home on June 9, 2016. When John was a year old his family moved to Compton, CA, and spent his school days there. It was in high school where he first met Muriel and they became good friends but went their separate ways for many years. John went to work for Joyce Shoe Co., assembling shoes! After a short time he went to work at Lockheed Corporation where he was a lead man. John received a letter from the U.S. Draft Board and joined the U.S. Navy, stationed in Long Beach, CA, where he helped repair planes. After his military commitment he returned to work at Lockheed for a short time but felt the need to move on and went to Inglewood, CA. where he became a member of the Fire Depart-ment. Some years later he became a member of the Los Angeles Fire Department, serving there for 30 years! John’s first marriage to Grace produced four sons - David, John, Jr., Paul and Mark. The sons provided 8 grandchildren. 30 years after graduating from high school John and Muriel reconnected. They were married and had 40 years of love and joy together! During that time, they traveled extensively in their fifth-wheel trailer. They enjoyed traveling with long-time friends and making new friends! John loved diving, fishing and walking the beach. After retirement they settled down in Carlsbad, CA for 14 years, where their home had a 180 degree view of the ocean. Eventually they followed friends to Arizona and ended up settling in F.O.S. in 1991. During their years at F.O.S., they were very active. John served on the Activity Team for many years. On Swap Meet Saturdays, John made and served coffee. He was an important part of the Welcom-ing Committee, Dance Committee and Chairman of the Hawaiian Luau. He and Muriel were both very active in the Yoga Group. John’s kind, caring, thoughtful, generous ways will be remembered by all who knew him. He was always ready to share with others. A group of F.O.S. ladies were treated very special each Mother’s Day. He gave each one a corsage and took them to brunch in a limo! John and Muriel loved to celebrate happy occasions with their many friends and he will be missed by all who knew him.

Gladys Leanes (Dahlstrom), age 87, was born on June 23, 1928 and passed away in Mesa, AZ on June 19,2016. She was a resident of F.O.S. for the past 30 years plus and is survived by her 4 sons, 8 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Gladys and Peter Leanes were part owners of the Midway Supper Club. She loved to hunt as well and won several awards in trap shooting in the 70’s. Gladys will be remembered as the happy person and would also leave you with a smile on your face. She would always try to help others with their problems. If you would like to post a message for her family, go to mariposagardens.com. Services were held on July 15, 2016 at the VA Cemetery in Cave Creek, AZ. She will be reunited with her one true love, Peter G. Leanes.

Ray Mitchell Olson, long time resident of Mesa and Fountain of the Sun, passed away at 92 years of age on July 13, 2016, after a lengthy ill-ness. He was born on April 11, 1924 near Belfield, ND, and the Badlands of Southwestern North Dakota. He was the third of ten children born to Charles and Lena Olson. Ray’s early life on the farm experienced many hardships, including the Great Depression of the 1920’s and 1930’s prior to WWII. Eventually his parents traded the farm for one

in Beltrami, MN. At the age of 18, Ray was drafted into the US Army and served under General George Patton in the 3rd Army 87th Divi-sion where he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. After his return, he married Donna (Holte) and they had 5 children: Mike, Jeff, Monte, Craig, and Paulette. Ray has always been a cowboy at heart. After farming for many years, they leased the farm and eventually found their way to Arizona. Ray enjoyed owning and flying his planes, hunting and fishing. With Janis, his second wife, he enjoyed cook-ing, golfing, dancing, exercise and pool time, extensive traveling, and involvement with many F.O.S. activities. Over many years, a strong bond of the two families was formed. Ray’s strong Christian faith and his love of family and friends was so dear in his heart. Ray is survived by his wife Janis; daughter Paulette; sons: Michael, Jeff, Monte, and many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews; brothers: Maurice, Edwin, Frank; sister Helen and sister-in-law Pat. Ray constantly thanked the Lord for coming into his life, meeting his needs, and fulfilling His promises. Services and celebra-tion of life will be held on Fri., Aug. 26, 2016, 9am at the National Cemetery in Carefree, AZ, followed by a light lunch at Rochester’s Restaurant in F.O.S. from 12pm to 3pm.

Helen Van Steenhuyse, 90, died peacefully Wednesday, June 1, 2016 at Deerfield Retirement Community in Urbandale, IA. Mass was held Monday, June 6, 2016 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Vinton and burial in Evergreen Cemetery. On August 27, 1947 she married Ray Van Steenhuyse in Williamsburg. The couple moved to a farm near Mt. Auburn in 1949. Helen was active in numerous civic

organizations. She was also an active member of St. Mary Catholic Church and was a church organist for many years. Helen was a devoted Vinton School Board member for 19 years. She was also involved at the state and national level and was president of the Iowa Association of School Boards in 1984-85. She is survived by her 5 children, Frank (Kathy) Van Steenhuyse, Vinton, Tom (Jim Edwards) Stonehouse, Palm Springs, CA, Dan (Nancy) Van Steenhuyse, Vin-ton, Mary McLaury, Falls Church, VA and Amy (Kurt) Lau, Clive, IA; 10 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Ray in 2011; brother and sister-in-law, John and Jeanne Walsh, and sister and brother-in-law, Rita and Bill Barron.

How to Store a Quilt – by Quilting101.com – cont’d2 more of 8 tips for storing your quilts safely Tip #5 – Keep your quilt in the dark. Sunlight can be very

damaging to a quilt, by breaking down the fibres and fading the colors. Direct sunlight should be avoided at all costs. Be particularly careful when drying your quilt out on a line after washing it. Even the light from fluorescent lighting can be damaging to a quilt over time.

Tip #6 – Keep your quilt unfolded. It is best to try and avoid folding your quilt for long periods of time unless you have to. By far the best place to store your quilts is by lying them on an unused bed with a cotton sheet on top. If you must fold your quilts, then every few months you should make a point of unfolding the quilts and shaking them out to air them. Make sure when you put them back that you re-fold them in a different way to prevent creases that occur when a quilt is folded the same way all the time. The topic of folding brings us on to the next point which is: Cont’d next month.

Ceramics Summer Special ContinuesBy Debbie Galbraith

We’ve been working on solar pots. We carve different shaped holes in a ceramic pot and after it’s glazed and fired, we put a solar light in it. This is an easy and fun way to get unique lighting for your walkway. We’ve also made solar skulls for Halloween. The eyes glow red! Stop by to see samples in the Ceramic Room.

We’ve also been having a special class on Mondays from 1 to 4pm that’s very popular. I have some greenware and bisque in the Ceramic Room. People who are new to FOS Ceramics can make one of them using my brushes, paints and supplies for a one-time fee of $5.00. This covers everything for however long it takes to finish your piece. So come on down, enjoy a cool and friendly atmosphere and try your hand at making something special.

Regular Ceramic Classes are on Tuesday and Thursday from 1 to 4pm. We have a mix of do your own projects and projects that I suggest. Feel free to stop by during regular class hours to see what we have to offer. We’re a very fun group and enjoy having new members :). If you have any questions, please contact me (Debbie) at (480)986-2779 or email me at [email protected].

Lions relaxing on a warm summer day (l. to r.): Ame Esan, Barb Moser, Zara King, Kit McCormick, Sandy and Maurine Sansom, Sue Stevenson and Lettie Larkin.

By Kay Stoterau Wow, have you been enjoying the good ole summertime? Without

a doubt it is here and we might as well enjoy it as it won’t change by complaining. Special thanks to all the Lions and our non-Lion friends who took care of the flags. We thank our new subscribers to the program and look forward to putting them out to fly again come September just before Labor Day.

Our crew of ALERT (Arizona Lions Eyeglass Recycling Termi-nal) workers have been busy every Monday and Friday morning in the Ceramics Room under the guidance of Lion Kit preparing glasses for mission trips as well as Readers and Sunglasses to be given away at events i.e. Pancake Breakfasts, etc. This dedicated group even met on the morning of July 4. Thanks to all of you.

The Lions Summer of Sight Program continues every Saturday morning at the Red Mountain Library giving “Readers” to those who need a boost with their reading ability and/or sunglasses to help save their sight in the bright Arizona sunshine. The Library felt this program was so successful, they invited us to continue to SERVE the library patrons with the program.

As we kick off the new Lions year which is our centennial, our theme is “NEW MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB.” Our Club will be doing three White Cane projects at the Superstition Market on Main Street which will provide funds allowing us to assist those with sight and hearing issues to “climb the mountain” in their lives.

Now we all know that being a Lion is not all work as evidenced by the photo. Those of us enduring the summer took time out for good food, fun and fellowship at Rochester’s on a Thursday afternoon and will do the same this month. So as we enjoy the summer, remember these words from John Maxwell - “Inspiration without perspiration is a daydream; perspiration without inspiration is a nightmare.”

Text & photo by Chris NacuOn June 26th, the second summer Horse

Race of the season was played on an overcast but beautiful day. With a full complement of 10 teams they teed off on #1.

Using a liitle different strategy, 2 teams decided to let the ladies tee off first instead of the men. It did not pay for one couple as they were eliminated on the 1st hole. The other couple survived and eventually made it to the last hole. Tom and Karen Kilzer were eliminated by Ralph and Kate Weston in a playoff on the 9th hole. Jerry McCully and Kathy Els came in 3rd.

July’s Horse Race was on the 17th and we’ll have an article on that soon. Hope you’ve been enjoying all the fun.

Lock-In Great Benefits With LOW Interest Rates And

Lockdown A More Liberating Retirement With A New

Reverse Mortgage From Sun American Mortgage Company

Sun American Mortgage Company established their role in Arizona over 25 years ago, educating and helping people enhance their retirement lifestyle with a Reverse Mortgage. In fact, Terry Turk, President of Sun American Mortgage Company, wrote the fi rst Reverse Mortgage in Arizona in 1989.

With current interest rates at an all time low, this is the absolute best time to consider a Reverse Mortgage. Most homeowners over the age of 62, with equity in their home, are eligible for a Reverse Mortgage. It is federally insured and is now being utilized by fi nancial planners all over as a smart planning tool.

As an Independent Mortgage Banking Firm, Sun American handles ALL processing, underwriting, and funding in-house. This allows the company to

alleviate much of the stress, hassle, time, and anxiety often associated with the Reverse Mortgage process.

Sun American Mortgage Company has a 98% Satisfaction Rating and has been accredited with an A+ Ranking Status by the Better Business Bureau.

Satisfied Sun American clients, Don and Barbara, in Gilbert use their Reverse Mortgage to pay for emergencies and unplanned expenses. “It’s so nice to be able to use the tax-free funds from our reverse mortgage to pay for unexpected car repairs, and help our children with their down payment on a new home without having to pull our money out of the market.”

Sun American’s mortgage experts, licensed CPAs, and fi nancial planners are eager to help people get the most out of their retirement.

When asked why they continue to do Reverse Mortgages, Terry simply stated “We do this because a Reverse Mortgage can really make a signifi cantly positive difference in our clients’ retirements, and in their lives! The security and peace of mind people gain when a Reverse Mortgage is done correctly is immense, and it will help them sleep at night.”
