A Sun City West Tradition in Excellence Since 1984

Dr. Harmon is a preclinical instructor at Midwestern University Dental School.

You may not be aware but the Events and Activity in Corte Bella are primarily based on the support achieved through volunteers

in the community. I have always said that the ultimate success of a community

is driven by the volunteer effort. A community can be good to live in based on solid budgeting, management and the efforts of the Board of Directors. However,

greatness comes from those willing to stand up and volunteer to add to all of those

things. That is what makes the difference between a good or average community and a great community.

I have always put a high premium on those willing to volunteer their time. Over the past several months, the Corte Bella Events volunteer group has diminished in strength through attrition to a critical state. More specifically, the volunteer residents stepped down after very long personal service to the community exceeding two years in all cases without replacements willing to take their place.

The group is currently without an Events Coordinator and all three volunteers assisting that position. Although the need for replacements to step up has been advertised several times over this period, no one has come forward to take on any of the vacancy left in the group. Therefore, there is no one to produce the work required in order to maintain the level of activity and events in the community that some have come to expect or even a mere shell of what was being done in the past.

I am now reaching out to you finally as Corte Bella residents to solicit volunteers willing to contribute to re-establishing the Events and Activity program. I understand that most of you did not come to Corte Bella for this reason but I also realize that this is the last great generation of volunteers with the hope that someone may step forward and be willing or interested in taking on this responsibility. I also know that when a situation becomes dire, that is when people usually step up.

Currently, management and the Board of Directors are discussing how to move forward including the potential of a paid Events Coordinator position rather than relying on a volunteer as a basis for entertainment and activity for our residents. The discussion is deep and all possible avenues are being discussed and evaluated at this time. No decision has been finalized. If you are interested in helping the community and have some time on your hands, please contact me to discuss intentions and the possibility of contributing to the effort.

Mike Arrington, Corte Bella Country Club Association, Inc. General Manager

Activity and Events in Corte Bella


ASSOCIATION

A number of firsts occurred at your Annual Membership meeting held March

1st. Over one hundred residents attended and twenty-three residents registered to attend remotely via webinar by using the upgraded Wi-Fi and audio-video systems. Remote attendees were able to

view the presentations, hear the proceedings, and use a “Chat” function to get answers from the moderator (Operations Coordinator, Paula Coudright) or give feedback on the experience.

Another first – the ballot count was completed well under an hour. The past few years it took nearly twice as long. The meeting lasted just over two hours with election results announced after all presentations were finished.

Twelve presentations were given starting with “Enhancing Community Value” that also showed a Request for Proposal form that residents can use to submit their ideas to the HOA. Mike Arrington, our General Manager, followed with a stirring, laudatory speech. Mike definitely lightened the evening with thoughtful praise sprinkled with a gleeful, mimicking of primary election rhetoric.

Sam Richardson (Maxwell & Morgan LLC) covered HOA laws and HOA legislation pending for 2016. Dan Luparello presented the 2015 Annual Anacapa performance report. The Anacapa had a record year with the number of diners served increasing 12% in 2015. Michael McVeigh covered financial results for 2015 (also a banner year for Corte Bella with a surplus in nearly every budget category), and the Finance Committee report which highlighted 2015 actions and 2016 challenges.

Other Committee reports that provided a summary of 2015 achievements and a future look at 2016 were given by Dan Luparello (ARC) on the revised Design Guidelines; Doug Edwards (GAC) gave an update on EPCOR waste-water consolidation and APS street lighting progress; Jim Sim (B&G) spoke on the many construction and maintenance projects (including street and safety related) completed or in progress; Tom Penkaukas (LTP) shared history and accomplishments and status of the first focus area: Communications; Larry Leighton (NASC) spoke on safety actions and the need for mutual respect; and Rick Furkert (TC) summarized what the Technology group does.

The meeting handout and all presentations are available on the Community Website (Main Menu item HOA, then Community Documents>>Board Room>>Annual Meetings>>2016).

Five candidates vied for three Director positions. You elected Paul Knowles, Dan Luparello, and Michael McVeigh. Congratulations to them all! Thank you to Dave Ornstein and Michael Wiener for participating. The official winning ballot count was:

• Paul Knowles: 340• Dan Luparello: 452• Michael McVeigh: 524

The 70-604 Revenue Ruling was approved, garnering 558 (yes) versus 29 (no) votes. This ruling provides that net excess income carried forward to the following year is not taxable.

First Service Residential (FSR) conducted mandatory Director training on March 16th. Elected Directors were seated at the April 1st Organizational meeting. Board Officers and Committee Liaisons are also decided at that meeting.

In closing - A sincere thank you to departing Director Bill Blake for his many years of dedicated service to the community. We know he will continue as an Events Group volunteer (his monthly HOA Casino Bus is a winner), and he’ll see you around the circle during his daily walks. We all wish Bill the best.

If I were to ask you to describe a most pleasant taste sensation,could you restrain a widening smile, re-savoring each gustorial elation.

Recall now the crème brulee’ or hear a sizzling tenderloin.What better to enhance your daythan scent of stewing beef burgoyne?

And if you were to tell me your favorite childhood thrill:awaiting the ice cream truck,or smelling burgers on the grill?

Favorite foods bring joy to life adding zest to every special occasion.Now it’s off to dinner I go, to enjoy sweet-sour shrimp, ala Asian.


CULINARY

With the entertaining season in full swing, here are two dessert recipes we have used for Corte Bella events. The Rum Ball recipe is an easy taste bud tantalizer and Lemon Bars are an Anacapa favorite. Enjoy!

Entertaining Delights and DazzlersExecutive Chef Dan Haywood, Anacapa Restaurant

• 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice• 1/2 cup dark rum• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup• 2 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla

wafers• 1 cup finely chopped, toasted walnuts

Directions• In a large bowl, sift together 1 cup of

the confectioners’ sugar, the cocoa powder and allspice.

• Stir in the rum and corn syrup. Stir in the vanilla wafers and walnuts and mix well.

• Place in the refrigerator to firm up slightly, about 30 minutes.

(The mixture may appear crumbly and dry; this is okay.)

• Place the remaining 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar in a shallow bowl or dish.

• Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture and press into 1-inch balls.

• Using your hands, roll the balls in the confectioners’ sugar, coating evenly.

• Place on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, placing waxed paper between the layers to prevent sticking.

For the crust:• 1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room

temperature• 1/2 cup granulated sugar• 2 cups flour• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

For the filling:• 8 large eggs at room temperature• 3 cups granulated sugar• 1 tablespoons grated lemon zest (4 to

6 lemons)• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice• 1 cup flour• Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Directions• For the crust, cream the butter and

sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

The ancient Romans had a wonderful saying, “de gustibus non est disputandum,” usually translated “taste ought not to be disputed,” which applies well to our focus on food in this article. We all have daily appetites which can be satisfied a thousand different ways. Our conversations are often peppered with whatever currently, or recently, inspired our taste buds.

On very special occasions, some Corte Bellans seek fine dining experiences in the larger Phoenix metro area. We have spoken to several resident connoisseurs of the local restaurant scene and recorded observations of their most enjoyable recent dining experiences. Opinions of food vary by taste, and, as the Romans said, ought to be enjoyed and discussed, rather than disputed. This is just a sampling of the many fine Phoenix-area restaurants. We hope you enjoy these comments. And bon appétit!

BINKLEY’S RESTAURANT 6920 E. Cave Creek Road, Cave Creek, 480-437-1072“A uniquely exquisite dining experience of several small dishes designed by the chef each day. A surprise dish is usually served in addition to your order. Binkley’s storefront appearance belies the elegance of the food. Personalized menus are presented for special occasions. Steaming drinks (prepared with dry ice) are another featured attraction. Bring barrels of money!”Binkley’s in Cave Creek will close in summer 2016 to relocate to Phoenix midtown. They will reopen under a new name at a date to be announced in local media.

DIFFERENT POINTE OF VIEW Tapatio Cliffs Resort, 11111 N. Street, Phoenix, 602-866-6350“With magnificent views of the wider Valley looking toward downtown Phoenix from atop North Mountain, the American menu is also top notch featuring cherry wood smoked venison and cedar river filets among other delicacies given a Mediterranean accent. Plenty of outdoor or full-length window seating.”

DURANT’S 2611 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, 602-264-5967Opened in 1950, Durant’s steakhouse remains the place for power lunches and great steaks in Phoenix. Red leather couches with red flocked wallpaper reminds us of days gone by in the world of classic dining. Jack Durant’s motto was: “Good friends, great steaks, and the best booze are the necessities of life.” Still family owned.

EL CHORRO RESTAURANT 5550 E. Lincoln Drive, Paradise Valley, 480-948-5170“This classic western lodge was stylishly renovated in 2009 by new owners while keeping the original charm and outdoor desert ambiance. Retaining their famous sticky buns and other favorite menu items; fancier Southwestern fare focusing on local and organic foods were added. Great place to bring visitors.”

ELEMENTS, Sanctuary Camelback Resort 5700 E. McDonald Drive, Paradise Valley 480-948-2100“Sitting near the top of Camelback Mountain, ELEMENTS combines breathtaking views of Paradise Valley with excellent American cuisine served in exotic European or Asian sauces. Outdoor seating offers a unique view of spectacular mountain sunsets, while the glassed restaurant front provides an excellent panorama. An excellent choice for a romantic occasion.”

J & G STEAKHOUSE Phoenician Resort, 6000 E. Camelback Road, Scottsdale, 480-214-8000“Flavorful steaks, chops and fish. Spectacular view of the valley from the 5th floor of the Phoenician. Somewhat pricey. Dark interior lends elegance. Wide wine selection. Dress up for a fancy evening.”

KAI, Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort 5595 W. Wild Horse Pass Blvd., Chandler (Gila River Indian Community), 602-225-0100“Worth the long drive (and expense) to enjoy the top rated restaurant in Arizona (by Forbes and others). Menu features Native American dishes and sides deliciously prepared. Outside views are superb and service is excellent, although interior is plain. After you drive so far, you may as well stay to gamble awhile.”

LON’S AT THE HERMOSA 5532 N. Palo Cristi Road, Paradise Valley, 602-866-6350“One of the most beautiful settings in the Valley, showing the western side of Camelback, Lon’s receives excellent feedback from those who have dined there more than once. The hacienda -style resort includes western décor in the inside dining room. Patio dining is best in Phoenix. Lunch offers flowery western ambience with juniper fragrance which is beyond compare.”

T. COOK’S Royal Palms Resort, 5200 E. Camelback Road, 602-808-0766“One of Phoenix’ top-rated fine dining restaurants in a historic setting (built in 1929 in Spanish Colonial style, renovated 1996). The Mediterranean menu offers specialties from Barcelona and Tuscany as well as French preparations. Wonderful, romantic ambiance is highlighted by year-round patio dining. House specialties are Carbonara pasta (featured on “The Iron Chef”) and butter poached lobster. “

VINCENT’S ON CAMELBACK 3930 E. Camelback, Phoenix, 602-224-0225“French cuisine with elegant service at awaits you at Vincent’s named for the award winning chef-owner Vincent Guerithault who often greets you at your table. The old-world charm of the interior is matched by the experienced wait-staff and quality seasonal dishes. Expensive but worth it.”

These are just a few of the fine dining options Corte Bellans have discovered. We thank all our friends who contributed their thoughts to us. Sadly, no West Valley restaurant made the list, although some were considered. For an excellent meal, at a fair-price, in a most beautiful Arizona setting, with a very short drive, we recommend our own Anacapa Restaurant.

The Aesthetics of TasteJerry and Stephanie Tinsley


commITTEES

Unfortunately, the answer to the question is a resounding YES. Several incidents have already been reported to the General Manager, the Neighborhood Awareness and Safety Committee (NASC), and to the Board of Directors.

The term “road rage” was coined in 1987-1988 after a series of freeway shootings in Los Angeles, CA. The legal definition of road rage encompasses a group of behaviors expressed while driving or stemming from traffic-related incidents. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines road rage as when “an individual commits a combination of moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or property; an assault with a motor vehicle or other dangerous weapon by the operator or passenger(s) of one motor vehicle on the operator or passenger(s) of another motor vehicle caused by an incident that occurred on a roadway.”

So far, we’ve been extremely lucky. The reported incidents of “road rage” have been limited and have not resulted in any actual accidents or physical altercations. In most cases, they have involved vehicles speeding or perceived to be speeding on our residential streets, deliberately parking vehicles on the streets to cause drivers to slow down, failure to obey stop signs, or stopping for stop signs when others felt the signs should not be there in the first place.

The speed limits were established and the stop signs were placed where they are (or are not) for your safety as well as the safety of your family (including grandchildren), the other Corte Bella residents, and contractors and visitors to our beautiful and usually safe community.

Although some feel a change is warranted and needed, at this time, our Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) do not include provisions for enforcing speed limits or other traffic violations (other than parking on the street at night). They were written with the intent and feeling that residents would be respectful of our community, our neighbors, and the rules adopted by the Board of Directors. The Maricopa County Sherriff’s Office (MCSO) will not patrol our streets – unless they are asked. Even if invited to patrol our streets, they do not have authority to issue citations.

Corte Bella is our home. For some, it is our only home and for others, our part-time home. We do not want Corte Bella to get a reputation as having unsafe or disrespectful, aggressive drivers.

Let’s all take a few moments to think about our driving habits and resolve to respect our friends, our community, and our rules. Remember the Golden Rule: “Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.”

The name of the committee says it all: Neighborhood Awareness and Safety.

Let’s discuss the second term first. The Oxford Dictionary defines the word Safety as “the state of being safe and protected from danger or harm.” Some of the ways that we are protected from danger or harm are so common that we do not give them a second thought. An example includes the ground-fault interrupter outlets in our homes.

Other ways that we are kept safe are not so obvious and require us to act on our own behalf. To what am I referring? I am referring to the other key word in the committees’ title; Awareness, or as many security experts call it, situational awareness. A fancy way of saying “Know what is going on around you.” How often have you experienced a car pulling out in front of you or backing out of a parking spot without seeing you? If you are like me, the answer is too often. This is where your awareness becomes so important. Paying attention to things happening around you can make up for others who, for whatever reason, are not paying attention.

Paying attention can also help you avoid situations where others are seeking to take advantage of you or do you harm. As an example,

when you go to the bank or ATM, do you observe who else is in the vicinity before getting out of your car or approaching the machine?

The point is; wherever we are, whatever we do, we need to be aware of our surroundings. Doing so enables us to be safe.

Never forget the person in the best position to keep you safe is, of course, YOU!

FOR YOUR SAFETY---ALWAYS BE AWARE!

COMMUNITY

It was an idyllic setting in Park City, Utah. While snowmageddon was occurring in the Northeast, the Sundance Film Festival was in full swing with blue crisp skies, powdered pristine and uncrowded ski slopes, and celebrities mingling with common folk on Main Street.

Each year since 1978, approximately 45,000 make the trek to Park City to watch independent movies produced

and directed by American and international talent. Robert Redford created The Sundance Film Festival as a way to increase visibility of filmmaking in Utah and to highlight filmmakers who work outside of Hollywood. In 1978, the debut year of Sundance, some of the movies that were shown included Deliverance, Streetcar Named Desire, Midnight Cowboy, Mean Streets, and The Sweet Smell of Success.

This year, there were over 4,000 film submissions to Sundance which were reviewed and narrowed to 128 movies. Unlike the recent Oscar nominations, diversity abounds at Sundance. This year, 41% of the Sundance competitive-based movies were directed or produced by women. This contrasts with the average 8 – 12% range for Hollywood based movies.

My husband and I found it very easy to get around the various movie locations in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, and the Sundance Resort. You can drive, take a taxi, ride the free shuttle buses, or take the Uber helicopter that was onsite for the rich and famous.

At the end of each movie, the director, producer, and oftentimes the actors were available to answer questions for the entire audience. Danny DiVito, Matt Damon, and Anderson Cooper were some of the more well-known individuals who participated in the Q and A sessions.

Audiences are also asked to rate movies that are eligible for the competition. At the 2010 Sundance Film Festival,

9 films garnered 15 Oscar nominations and four of the five Best Documentary film nominations were Sundance films. Some of the award winners at this year’s Sundance Film Festival included The Birth of a Nation, Weiner, Swiss Army Man, When Two Worlds Collide, and Sand Storm.

Additional information can be found at www.sundance.org. Tickets can be purchased in a package or for individual films. There is also a very easy electronic wait-list process for each movie. We were able to get into almost every movie that we signed up for on a wait-list. In addition, there are opportunities to volunteer at Sundance---typically they choose about 3,000 volunteers. Being a Sundance volunteer comes with many perks.

For those of you who enjoy independent movies, there are ways to join groups in our local area who attend movies together. If you visit the Meet Up website at www.meetup.com you can find many types of groups focused on various activities. Some of the movie groups include West Valley Movie Group, Valley Movie Group, and Phoenix Independent Foreign and Art House Film Club.

Robert Redford summed it up best, “Storytellers broaden our minds: engage, provoke, inspire, and ultimately, connect us.”

Corte Bella’s own, Gus Grissom, provided an overview of his life experience as a Naval Aviator assigned to Aircraft Carriers. The nickname “Gus” came about in college when NASA was in its’ glory days and Gus Grissom was an astronaut known to the world.

Over the years, our Corte Bella Gus Grissom acquired over 4000 hours of flight time with 1000 takeoffs and landings, never losing a plane. Gus provided hands on visuals of his helmet, weapons control, and pictures of what an aircraft carrier looks like with planes in position to be catapulted into the sky, hitting 166 mph in less than 2 seconds.

He described the “floating city” they called home for several months and how they handled the air traffic with planes coming in every 15 seconds on a short field. Fortunately, there are some visual slope indicator lights that help a pilot understand if they are too high, too low, or just right upon approaching the carrier. He had two incidents that became most memorable because of how they impacted his life.

The first instance was a “perfect landing” on the Saratoga that went awry when the tail hook fell off the plane, requiring his crew to refuel and head to land for repairs.

The second instance involved being struck by lightning TWICE. During the first strike he lost his compass and a fuel tank with over 2000 lbs of fuel. The second strike ensured the compass would never work again, an engine flamed out, and he was blinded momentarily. Able to declare an emergency, he was able

to land on the carrier where the plane was taken out of operation for significant repairs.

Questions from the audience provided a glimpse at the incredible “stress” a pilot experiences landing on such a short field at night. Pilots are expected to stay current by having a minimum of a night landing every seven days. If you don’t meet the demands of the job, you are not needed in the unit.

The Corte Bella Vets mission is to “Foster patriotism and good will toward the military community within Corte Bella and support deserving military oriented charities.”


COMMUNITY

The Corte Bella Vets were pleased to welcome as their guest speaker, Jerry Wotjas, a member of the local chapter of Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW) for the January meeting. He provided an overview of both his organization and a ceremony they have each year called Massing of the Colors/Service of Remembrance. Mr. Wotjas shared a slide review of over 90 color stills to the group of Corte Bella veterans in attendance. The organization was formed by “Black Jack” Pershing after World War I to encourage officers leaving military service and their descendants to stay engaged in serving their country.

The motto of the organization is “It is nobler to serve, than be served” and each chapter chooses the charities and youth they assist. They sponsor an annual Youth Leadership Conference program and pay for the students to attend courses on topics

such as free society, democracy, free enterprise system concepts, and civic responsibilities associated with preserving American rights and freedoms. They spend $335 for each student to attend this seminar and the results for these young people have been significant.

In addition, they support 17 local high school JROTC programs with recognition (MOWW medals) and provide a forum for color guards to gather for the annual Massing of the Colors.

Mr. Wotjas enlisted in the Army Engineering Brigade in ‘54, was commissioned in ’56 and remained in the Army reserves until retiring in ’86. He spent his post military career with Hammermill Paper until retiring in ’98.

COMMUNITY

“TOO OFTEN WE UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A TOUCH, A SMILE, A KIND WORD, A LISTENING EAR, OR THE SMALLEST ACT OF CARING ALL OF WHICH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO TURN A LIFE AROUND”

The second Wednesday of every month from 1:00 - 4:30 you can stroll by the Bella Stanza Room and see magic being created. The “magicians” are a group of neighbors, friends, and people who put the needs of others before their own needs….volunteers!

Ryan’s Case for Smiles (formerly ConKerr Cancer) is one of the few national volunteer organizations solely dedicated to helping kids feel better to heal better. While other great organizations focus on research and finding a cure, we work to improve the quality of life for children and their families as they undergo treatment.

With every stitch, every yard of fabric and every pillowcase, we get one step closer to our goal of helping kids with cancer and life-changing illnesses feel better to heal better.

WHY OUR VOLUNTEER WORK MATTERSA hospital stay can be a terrifying experience for a child, especially those with cancer and other life-changing illnesses. Ryan’s Case for Smiles was founded in 2007 to bring comfort and support to young patients and their families in hospitals around the globe. It started with a simple goal: to create and distribute whimsical pillowcases that give children an emotional boost and remind them they are not defined by their illness.

The volunteers in our community are absolutely amazing! Fifteen months ago when I was asked to start the Phoenix Chapter, I had no idea if I could find enough people to help sew pillowcases and if I would be able to deliver 75 cases every month. Today the volunteers for Ryan’s Case for Smiles total over 50 and 38 are Corte Bella residents! Together, we sew and deliver 500+ pillowcases for smiles EVERY MONTH to Phoenix Children’s, Banner Cardon Children’s, and Banner Children’s at Thunderbird Medical Center.

Magic Happens In Corte BellaJoAnn Shaw

During this past year, I have marveled at how tirelessly the volunteers and the staff of our HOA (specifically Paula and Kent) have worked to ensure that every child continues to receive our support through the “magic” of a pillowcase.

IN THE WORDS OF OUR PATIENTS“My pillowcases make me happy. They take my mind off of being sick.” “The ladies aren’t just making me a pillowcase but they make magic and brighten my day.”

“Cancer sucks but I have 100 pillowcases and they always make me smile.”

BY THE NUMBERS• More than 115 chapters in

North America comprised of thousands of volunteers

• Over 50,000 children helped annually

• More than 40 MILLION volunteer hours donated• Over 330 hospitals served• Over 1,000,250 pillowcases delivered and counting!

I wish to express my gratitude, admiration and appreciation to the Phoenix Chapter volunteers who continue to make a significant difference. Each one of them demonstrates the three essentials to happiness in this life:• something to do: volunteer for Ryan’s Case for Smiles• something to love: the smiling face of a child • something to hope for: a world without cancer and other

terrifying illnesses.

YOU are the best of our community, whether you sew, iron, cut fabric, or pack 500 pillowcases for delivery. Whether you are part-time or full-time residents, what you do matters. You are quite simply amazing.

YOU CAN HELP! Here’s how:Sew a pillowcase (individually or with our group)Donate new kid friendly fabric or money (each pillowcase costs $12)Volunteer to help cut fabric, iron the finished pillowcases and pack for delivery

The Corte Bella Adventure Group first started hiking two years ago through the organization and leadership of Steve Downing who moved to Corte Bella and wanted to share his love of nature and hiking as a way of meeting new people. Steve and other members have volunteered to lead scheduled hikes and adventures in county parks, conservation areas, and national forests to see the beautiful wilderness of Arizona with all the desert plants, flowers, lakes, streams, and gorgeous mountains.

The group has continued to grow to more than 70 people and has expanded its activities to cycling, kayaking and recently

horseback guided trail riding. We are always looking to expand our adventures with new ideas.

Hikes are usually on Tuesday mornings. Other activities may be scheduled on other days, including weekends. We typically meet at 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. in the Anacapa parking lot from the end of September to the end of May. There are all levels of hikes from beginner and moderate to more strenuous hikes.

Come and experience the beauty of Arizona and connect to nature and our friendly group by going online to the www.meetup.com website and looking up Corte Bella Adventure Group to see the schedule of events and to become a member or email [email protected].

Javier, a first grader at Thompson Ranch Elementary School, stares at the word “the” knowing that it doesn’t follow the phonetic code he has put so much time into learning. But it is beyond his capability at the moment to remember what those combined letters mean. He needs focused attention from someone to learn his sight words.

Christine, also a first grader, looks at her math problem 4 - 1 = _____ and enters the number 5. While the rest of the class is starting to perform two digit addition and subtraction, she is still struggling with what + and - mean. She needs one-on-one attention from someone or she will be left behind.

When Javier or Christine work with an adult volunteer it is evident when they learn something new. The joy in their eyes, excitement in their voices, and belief that they are smart enough to figure it out makes volunteering the best part of a volunteer’s week. When I started as a volunteer, I thought I was giving back but in reality I have gotten so much more out of the experience than I could have ever imagined. Three years into the program I now know students in three grades who remember me fondly as the helper who knew they were smart.

The Dysart School District Volunteer program has been fortunate to find several volunteers here in Corte Bella.

Colleen Miller works with first grade student, Julian, at Thompson Ranch Elementary School

If you are interested in making a difference in the life of a child, go to www.dsysart.org and follow the menu path: Community >> Get Involved >> Volunteer Information. You will be able to advise the volunteer coordinator of the age and location where you would like to volunteer. Thompson Ranch Elementary School (TRES) is the closest school to our back gate. Not only will you make a difference in a child’s life and help a teacher trying to meet all the students’ needs, you will also have a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.

Always willing to pitch in and make a positive difference, ladies of the San Ramon Stringers took up their paintbrushes to add color to the corridors of the school. The theme “Dream Big” provided the subject matter for the walls with fairy tales providing the story lines.

Corte Bella Volunteers * NOTE: The group sponsor, coordinator or chair provided the volunteer names. For example, SoUL (Smiling Out Loud) interest group names those that supported Eve’s Place, Streetlight USA and other charities. Apologies if your name was

not included. Please contact the CB Times assistant Linda Wright ([email protected]) about any errors or omissions. A correction and/or supplemental list will be published in the CB Times May issue.

In the United States, April is National Volunteer Month and April 10 - 16 is National Volunteer Week. Special recognition of those who volunteer has been celebrated since the 1970s throughout our nation. Here in Corte Bella, this is a special time too and this issue of the CB Times honors and recognizes those who volunteer their time and their talent to make things better both within and outside our community.

This year’s HOA Volunteer Recognition Night event (honoring those who have volunteered with the HOA over the past year) will be held on April 11 and its theme is “Pick of the Crop – Corte Bella Volunteers.” The HOA-sponsored, invitation only event will feature farm-to-table local Arizona food products all prepared by the Anacapa kitchen. Attendees are requested to wear country dress – their “farmer best” and the décor will match that theme. This theme says it all – residents who are “freely offering to take part in a task, or in an enterprise; who choose to act in recognition of a need, with an attitude of social responsibility and without concern for monetary profit” (definition of a volunteer by Susan J. Ellis, President of Energize, INC.) are truly worthy of recognition at this special event in their honor. Many thanks to the HOA Board of Directors for establishing the Volunteer Recognition Program in May 2013 which funds this annual event and allows for a venue to promote and recognize volunteerism in Corte Bella.

Volunteering isn’t limited to serving on an HOA committee, the Board of Directors or helping with an HOA event. There are a number of interest groups and clubs functioning within our gates who are actively supporting worthy charities and non-profit organizations with fund raising and other kinds of direct support. Check out the list following this article to identify those who are reaching out and working to make this metropolitan area, this state, and this nation a better place.

If you’re searching for volunteer opportunities, check out VolunteerMatch.org for information on local community resources who are looking for help. Remember there are local chapters of Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels, Hospice, and Banner Hospital Auxiliary programs as well as St. Mary’s Food Alliance, and many churches with outreach programs who need volunteers.

Most of us in Corte Bella are retired but still active with many skills and talents. Since we are fortunate enough to live in this country, this state and in this lovely community, we can afford to give back to Corte Bella and also support those around us who may not be so fortunate. If nothing more, please read the names listed below and be sure to thank them for their dedication and their spirit of giving and caring. It’s so true that these people are indeed the PICK OF THE CROP!
