Bulk Cable TV/Internet ServiceAnother beautiful day in paradise. Sometimes

it is best to take a break and appreciate what wehave and just how nice it is to live in ShadowHills. As Karla and I watched the sunrise, sheturned to me and said, “I just love living here andlooking at those mountains. We are lucky.”Sometimes it is the little things, staring right atus, that matter the most. Please enjoy your day.The Board has been investigating the pros and

cons of a bulk cable contract for the HOA at therequest of many residents. This is a negotiationwith the cable/internet companies to provide internet and TV services for a period of five yearsin order to have a reduction in the monthly fee.The Board appointed a committee to investigateand gather information for the Board’s review. Iwant to thank that committee for all their work,and for any future work we might need. Thatcommittee recommended the Spectrum program,but the Board is still negotiating with Frontier.This doesn’t mean the program has been approvedbut, if a bulk cable program is approved, Spectrumis the recommended choice of the committee.The Board will decide on the final program andwith which company to go forward if approved.That information has been given to the Board

and the Board held some town hall meetings inlate June to explain the information, listen tocomments, and answer questions. Those townhall meetings were video-taped and are availableon our website here: scshca.com/bulkcable. So,please take some time to view those meetings.Many questions will be answered.After you view the videos, please let us know

your comments or questions. The Board’s goalis to gather as much information as possible sothe Board can make a responsible and informeddecision about how to proceed. To this end wewill need everyone’s comments, both pro andcon, to have a complete picture of the situationand how it affects the HOA.

We will be sending out a survey through our e-blast system to find out your thoughts on havingsuch a cable contract. This survey is only availableelectronically so, if you are not signed up on thee-blast system, be sure to do so. Only after thesesteps of gathering information are complete,along with resident input, will the Board decidehow or if we move forward with such a contract.It is estimated that the Board will not vote on thisprogram until at least its August meeting. Be sureto give us your comments before that date.Some of the basic points we now know about

implementing such a program:1. Every homeowner would have to participate;there is no opt out provision from either company.

2. There are no provisions for putting services onhold if you are gone for a period of time.

3. The HOA would pay the monthly fees, and thehomeowners would pay the HOA by having theirmonthly assessment increased by that amount.

4. Services include TV with about 200 channelsand internet with download speed of 100 Mbps.Upload speeds will vary depending on the company.

5. The total cost for the services including taxes andfees is estimated at $45 to $48 per month.

6. Land line phone is not included, but can beadded for about $10 per month, billed directlyto the homeowner.

7. The program includes two set-top boxes and twoHD DVRs.

8. Additional boxes and DVRs may be added foradditional cost, billed directly to the homeowner.

9. The program will be decided by a Board vote,not a vote of the homeowners.

10. By-law Section 9.2.2(a)(v), allows for a five-year contract with a cable company.

As you can see, there is much to consider.Please let us know your thoughts and comments,both for and against such a program. Hopefullyat the August meeting the Board will vote to decide on an outcome. Let me know if you haveany questions.In the meantime, please enjoy the gorgeous

sunsets and great neighbors, and be thankful weget to live in a little slice of paradise. Please enjoythe beautiful sunny days and stay safe in yourtravels, and don’t ever forget, it doesn’t get anybetter than this!

CV Groundwater Levels Rising

Good news! Did you know our valley aquifer is one ofthe largest in all of California?On April 30, 2019, the Coachella

Valley Water District (CVWD)posted analysis results showing significant groundwater level increases over the past 10 yearsthroughout most of the CoachellaValley. The two annual reports forthe 2017-18 water year, one on theIndio Subbasin and the other onthe Mission Creek Subbasin, which make up most of the valley’s aquifer, were submitted to the California Department of Water Resources to comply with the reporting requirements of the Sustainable GroundwaterManagement Act.Successful groundwater replenishment programs along

with continued efforts to conserve, reduce water waste,and connect customers to the nonpotable water systemfor irrigation purposes resulted in the positive trends observed in groundwater storage in both subbasins during the past 10 years. The Indio Subbasin is locatedunder the cities of Palm Springs, Cathedral City, RanchoMirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio,and Coachella, and the unincorporated communities ofThousand Palms, Thermal, Bermuda Dunes, Oasis, andMecca.The Indio Subbasin report shows that, over the past

ten years, there were significant increases in groundwaterlevels in most of the subbasin in the range of 2 - 50 feet.

These gains highlight the progress towards long-termsustainable management of the subbasin.The Mission Creek Subbasin is located under Desert

Hot Springs and the unincorporated area of Indio Hills.This subbasin also shows that, over the past 10 years,

there were significant increases in groundwater levels inmost of the subbasin of up to 28.5 feet. The subbasinshows positive trends since 2005 for future sustainability.There were localized portions of decreased water levels

in the range of 2 - 8 feet in the mid-valley area of theIndio Subbasin. This area will soon benefit from theCoachella Valley Water District’s (CVWD) Palm DesertReplenishment Facility.CVWD is also continuing efforts to connect more golf

courses to nonpotable water such as recycled or ColoradoRiver water instead of groundwater.Why is this important to SCSH residents? We livein a true desert region and water is our lifeline. This CVWD report shows recent conservation effortsare paying off, but there is no room for complacencyon our part. Having potable water available to usduring emergency times of disaster could be a matterof life and death.Please continue to conserve water!

Results of the Fitness SurveyWe would like to thank all 184 people who responded to the Fitness Survey. We found the results

very valuable and informative. Residents presented many good ideas and suggestions, and we are nowlooking to refine the fitness program to meet the needs and expectations of our community. We alsodiscovered that there is a great deal of respect for and satisfaction with the overall Health and Fitnessprograms here at SCSH.Here are a few of the major topics that emerged from the residents’ survey.1. Maintain classes throughout the summer months. Action Plan: Class participation is monitored throughout the year. Seventy-five percent of survey

respondents indicated they will take classes during the summer months. Residents’continued participation will ensure classes remain in place.

2. Improve descriptions of Wellness Classes to more accurately select fitness levels and goals. Action Plan: Create a revised matrix of class descriptions that are aligned with fitness levels

(beginner to advanced). This will help residents self-assess and navigate their fitnesstrack. A complimentary one-time fitness assessment is available for all residents.

3. Increase the number of Total Body and Strength Classes. Action Plan: The Fitness staff is evaluating fresh, new formats and types of classes specifically

related to total body and strength. 4. Add more “Special Informational/Instructional Symposiums” throughout the year, i.e. Tai Chi,Reformer Pilates. Action Plan: Earlier this year we offered Tai Chi and Reformer Pilates Informational/Instructional

Symposiums, along with a Fall Prevention class in March. These are special, freehealth and fitness clinics held throughout the year to educate and evaluate residentsand are intended to encourage participation in fitness classes that appropriatelymatch abilities and goals.

The Fitness Staff, and the Health & Fitness Advisory Committee, encourage you to try new classes.The special events and lectures are meant to educate and guide participants in enhancing their well-being. You just might surprise yourself with what your body can do!We gathered valuable information from the survey and, in this article, we’ve focused on the most

frequently addressed topics as actionable items. After we have addressed these, we will review the remaining responses to help guide us in determining additional program refinements.

One of the most spectacular Fourth of July fireworksdisplays in the nation takes place each year at South LakeTahoe. This extravaganza, “Lights on Lake Tahoe,” israted as one of the top five displays in the United Statesby The American Pyrotechnics Association. There arenumerous places to watch this outstanding show, but theultimate place to be is in a boat, with all the fireworks exploding right above you and then magnified by theirreflection in the water.

Twenty years ago, I had a home at Lake Tahoe andwould take family and guests out in my boat to experience this outstanding show. Then, last Fourth ofJuly while visiting my son at his place at Lake Tahoe, weboarded his boat to see the fireworks. This truly was a

case of deja vu, but this time I watched while he tendedto the boat!I thought the overhead display was outstanding all

those years ago, but what we witnessed last year was trulyunbelievable. (The next day, in the boat, we even foundpieces of paper from the fireworks that had explodedright above us!)The pyrotechnics are launched from three large barges

anchored just off the south shore of the lake. Tune in

the local radio station, and then watch the perfectly choreographed show blossom overhead. You can’t helpbut get into the swing of things with the “boom, boom”sound as rockets are launched into the sky, echoing off the mountains, suddenly turning the dark sky into a

magnificent awe-inspiring display of lights as they explode above you.As you listen to the background patriotic

music, the heavens come alive with bursts of colors, dazzling stars, and streamers of everyshape and design. Everyone seems to be uttering“oohs and aahs” as “smiley faces” and “love youhearts” randomly burst open in the sky, bringingwarmth and joy along with the overall excitementof watching this spectacular event.The speed at which the fireworks are launched

is astounding. Several times I heard someone say,“Surely we must be watching the finale.” But the show just keeps going on and on. Then,

when the “grand finale” does arrive after about25 minutes, the sky is lit up in a spectacular arrayof stars, colors, streamers, and explosions that arebeyond description.So, if you want to see one of the best fireworks

displays in America, plan ahead and make yourreservations early. You can even book a boat tour. Certainly, this is an experience you willnever forget.


July 2019 TheView14

Aren’t our Fourth of July celebrations great? All thenoise and flash-bang of the fireworks, the bands playing,parades, and people cheering are just a few of the reasonsI love our country’s birthday. But sometimes it’s also niceto reflect quietly on our history, both personal and ournation’s. One way is to participate in a movement calledThe Healing Field or Field of Honor.Started in 2002 to visualize the human loss from the

9/11 terrorist attack, the Colonial Flag Company set upa field in Sandy, Utah, and displayed a flag for each personlost that day. However, beyond the numbers, it also became a tangible expression of mourning and healing.The response of the nation was overwhelming, and

many requests to duplicate the event followed. This year,there will be nearly 100 such events across our country.These will remember not only 9/11 victims but alsothose who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country: military as well as civilian first responders. Field of Honor pays tribute to those currently serving

in the armed forces and those who have served our country at home and abroad who are still living in thecommunity; it also honors everyday community heroes.The installations take place on different days and in different places. Some will be set up on Memorial Day,the Fourth of July, and Veterans Day. Others will takeplace in tandem with a local event.One way we, in the Coachella Valley, can participate is

to attend The Healing Field in Cathedral City during the week when Veterans Day is celebrated. That week,from Saturday through Saturday, flags will be on displayat Patriot Park to commemorate fallen servicemen andservicewomen since 9/11.Started by Councilman Greg Petis, this event is

sponsored by local Rotary Clubs. In 2018, over 7,000flags were displayed with metal tags giving name, rank,hometown, and the place where the veteran was killed.Opening day begins with the reading of all the names.During the week, volunteers are on hand to greet guestsand help to locate individual flags of a loved one orfriend. A giant poster is available for visitors to sign. The closing ceremony marks the end of the week and thelowering of the flags from the poles.All of this requires a tremendous amount of planning

and help from numerous volunteers. Gillian Cross, thevolunteer coordinator, starts in September to put together a timeline. She contacts the Department of Defense to get the final listing and count of lost military

members. Volunteers inspect and repair the flags,and new flags are ordered. Throughout the year, Ace Hardware in Cathedral City collects donations to help pay for the flags.Volunteers from our Valley communities start

by marking the field. The flags are placed five feetapart in rows. More volunteers assemble the flagson PVC pipe with a gold ball on top and then secure zip ties to hold the name tags. Volunteersand guests put out the flags on opening day, andvolunteers again reverse the process to take downthe flags on closing day.

People come to see and be touched by this display. They stroll down the lines, read some ofthe name tags, and then move on to the nextrow. Some friends and family place flowers by theflagpoles. To see the number of flags lined up so solemnly, blowing in the breeze so quietly, is truly a healing experience. For one week in November, quiet reflection and memories of ourfallen heroes are a way we honor those we knewand loved or just appreciate those who protectour country. Visitors leave with a lighter heart

and a peaceful feeling. The volunteers leave witheven more.Gillian is one of the most enthusiastic

supporters of this event. Even with the enormousamount of effort it takes her to coordinate all theindividual steps to put together this event eachyear, Gillian still gets excited just talking aboutit. She feels “it is such an important event, especially for high school student volunteers whowere born after 9/11/2001; 9/11 and the lossessince then become much more real to them.”Gillian also stresses that all speakers at the opening and closing ceremonies are totally non-political. The focus is on respect for the fallen.For 2019, The Healing Field will be open daily

from November 9 – 16, from 9 am – 5 pm, at Patriot Park located at Date Palm and DinahShore. If you would like to volunteer for any of the many options to help, please contactGillian Cross at [email protected] or760-578-1282. Not only will you have an opportunity to participate in a worthwhile event,you will come away with a feeling of peace. Thisfield is truly healing.

We Coachella Valley residents are lucky to have so many oppor-tunities to enjoy a wide variety of venues like our annual music fes-tivals, the casinos, Sunnylands and, this year, Desert X artinstallations. If you haven’t experienced it, Desert X is truly a uniqueexperience.Rather than try to explain the purpose of the installations, I’ll

quote from the handbook: “Desert X is produced by Desert Bien-nial, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in2015 to bring the finest international artists to the Coachella Valleyto create art, engage viewers, raise awareness of the valley’s envi-ronment, its natural wonders as well as socio-political-economic is-sues that make it vibrant, curious, and exciting.”But I’ll let the photographs speak for themselves.

While growing up in Toledo, Ohio, Sun City ShadowHills resident Michael Mercurio never really thoughthe’d be spending his working life in service to our nationas a Foreign Service Officer (FSO).However, upon embarking on a corporate career in

the early 1960s, Mike realized he simply was not that interested in an environment where money was the primary reward. When he learned that the Foreign Service Exam was open to all and that applicants nolonger needed a professional level competency in a foreign language, Mike decided to take the test and seeif he could measure up to become a career diplomat withthe State Department. “Unfortunately,” Mike says,“everyone who was familiar with the test told me thatwith my educational background – in engineering andbusiness administration – I had no chance of passing.”As you can imagine, the written Foreign Service Exam

is quite demanding. The morning begins with a three-hour assessment on subjects such as geography, worldhistory, political science, and current U.S. foreign policy,to mention just a few. Then in the afternoon there areanother three hours of testing on English expression,economics, and management.After three months of anxious waiting, Mike was

shocked to find he had passed the written portion of thetest. Maybe he had a shot. The oral exam was before apanel of three seasoned State Department officers, so hehad to be ready.The examiners were looking for what makes each

applicant unique: personality, integrity, interpersonalskills, trustworthiness, and so forth. Mike’s strategy wasto make a personal pitch to the examiners. When they indeed asked if there was anything else he’d like to sayto them, Mike was ready; and they seemed to be all ears.He explained why this was what he wanted to do withthe rest of his life and why he thought he could be successful. Five minutes later, they told him he was amember of the club.Mike feels that this 60 minutes with three foreign

service examiners, one afternoon in Chicago 55 years ago,was the most important hour of his life. It determinedthat he would have the career he wanted.

As Mike explains it, at the time he began his service,there were two primary career paths in the State Department. The first was working as a political officerculminating in becoming an ambassador. And the secondwas doing economic, commercial, or managerial workwhich offered the best chance for desirable postings.Mike chose the second track, probably because he

enjoyed problem-solving and had solid, interpersonalskills. Not dissimilar to the military, a young FSO is expected to become productive quickly following a modicum of briefing, training, and exposure to real-world situations.With little experience, Mike found himself being asked

to perform work that made a real difference. He startedout in Naples, Italy, making decisions about who wouldget an immigrant visa; then he assumed the role of a

commercial attaché in Barranquilla, Colombia;and finally he ran the internal affairs of an embassy in Kampala, Uganda – all this beforeever serving an assignment at State Departmentheadquarters in Washington, D.C.Although the language requirement for FSOs

was dropped in 1964, language training was stillimportant. Mike received training in Italian,Swedish, and Spanish at the Foreign Service Institute. Later, Mike’s wife, Tsipi (pronounced“CP”), taught Hebrew at the Institute after theyreturned to the States from Israel.While serving in London at the U.S. Embassy

in early 1985, the Ambassador explained to Mikethat Walter Mondale would be coming throughtown. This was shortly after Mondale had beendefeated in his run for the presidency. The Ambassador was not anxious to spend time withsomeone he had recently worked hard to defeat,and he asked Mike to take care of Mondale during his visit.Mike was grateful for the opportunity to spend

time with someone of Mondale’s experience andprominence and to be able to compare the impression he made in person with the personalityhe displayed during the presidential debates.Mike believes that he would never have had thosekinds of experiences without becoming an FSO.

One of the real joys for Mike is recalling thetruly outstanding people he’s met along the way.The Ambassador to Israel when Mike servedthere, Tom Pickering, surely stands out as thefinest FSO Mike has ever known. He quicklyadds that there were many exceptional people atthe State Department like his old friend, EdPerkins, a career political officer who becameU.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.Since relocating to our community, Mike has

not forgotten the lessons of service to others thathe learned while serving our country. Mike is thecurrent president of the Discussion Forum Club,and he has already put in place an entire slate of speakers for 2019-2020. Mike promises a few“twists” to the club’s format of presentation, too,which should prove appealing to many residents,especially with election year 2020 on the horizon.Look for more details in future editions of TheView.It is a pleasure to have Mike and Tsipi as

neighbors in our community. And the entire staffof The View thanks them for their service to ourcountry.

SCSH resident John Yonushonis (Yono) has hadParkinson’s Disease (PD) for over 15 years. In a 2009trip to Taos, NM, with wife Ann, to add to their NativeAmerican rug collection, the tremors and PD symptomshad continued to worsen. While traveling, Ann read anarticle about how music positively affects brain waves andcan stimulate internal rhythms to aid in balance and helpreduce tremors. They decided to take an active approach,so John bought his first Native American flute.When I first met John, I hardly noticed his challenged

condition. That is when he told me of his PD. We discussedthe help that music, particularly Native Americanmelodies, can give to others afflicted with the disease.

John then picked up one of his favorite flutes. His lithefingers caressed the custom-made instrument as he playedflawlessly and joyfully, smiling without a care in theworld. The pure sound that I heard was unbelievable anddefinitely soothing to the soul. This was my introductionto music therapy and, when John played, time sort ofslowed down and the physicality of his body (hands, feet,head, fingers, etc.) joined and worked together to holdoff the damaging effects of Parkinson’s.

If you want to hear and feel what I did, go toscshca.com/flutevideo. You will not be disappointedwith the short one-minute video, especially with the tranquil pool/spa running water in the background.

The St. Anne Mission in Klagetoh, AZ

For the past eight years, John has travelled to the St.Anne Mission in Klagetoh, AZ, every June to volunteerand help teach young Navajo children to play the NativeAmerican flute. John supplies every instrument. Eachsounds slightly different from the others, mainly becauseof the size and length of the flute (the larger ones have amuch deeper tone). John sampled a variety of his flutesto show me the subtle sound differences.

The Navajo children come to John with nomusical background. Graduation is when eachchild has mastered the playing of AmazingGrace; and everyone graduates! When John is intown, many of his former students are alwaysdropping by to say “hi,” and John is most proudto hear that some are still playing their giftedflutes.Klagetoh is in one of the poorest areas of

America with over 50 percent of the residentsunder the poverty level. Obesity rates exceed 35 percent, and diabetes rates are at almost 15percent.Exercise thus has become a paramount concern

for the residents of Klagetoh. The mission offered the only basketball court within mileswhere everyone – regardless of age, color, size,or fitness – came to play and have fun. The 25-year-old outdoor court needed to be replaced,and John took on this challenge.

The original 25-year old basketball court

The bold plan included replacing the agingconcrete slab with a newer all-weather surface;enlarging the court to regulation dimensions;and adding new goalposts, backboards, protectivefencing, and lights for nighttime games. Klagetohis 60 miles from the nearest hardware store, and 200 bags of concrete plus 70 bags of surfaceleveler were required. John and his volunteerhelpers had to hand-mix all the materials usingonly a single mixer, a very laborious job indeed.

The new backboards and poles weighed 450pounds each, and the only way to install themwas from the back of a pickup truck. After threeyears, the court was completed in September2017 thanks to a contribution from Fiesta BowlCharities along with silent auctions, concerts, andindividual donations.

The new all-weather regulation-sized basketball court (lights were added later)

John is currently planning his summer trip toKlagetoh where he will teach a new class ofNavajo children how to play their native instrument, while also enjoying watching the kidsplaying basketball. A volleyball area is also in theplanning stages.John continues to play his various flutes daily

and has also given talks on Parkinson’s Disease as well as music therapy. He would be happy to talk to your group about his walk with Parkinson’s. If you are interested, contact him [email protected].

How do you define a life-changing experience? Whatcould be so extraordinary it is sealed in your memory forever? How about walking the 500-mile Camino deSantiago, a pilgrimage route to the shrine of Saint Jamesin the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

The scallop shell and yellow arrow

guide pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago.

My husband, Bill,and I did just that. A friend’s experienceplanted the seed for this exceptional undertaking. It tooka year of research andpreparation, but theidea bloomed into an amazing journey.We had discovered years ago both the joy and

satisfaction of walking long distances while experiencingthe world up close. We tested lightweight clothing andgear. To break in our hiking boots, we trained on the hillsand mountains around the Coachella Valley, in Utah, andin Colorado.Although we learned there are many ways to do the

Camino, we decided to challenge ourselves to walk all 799 kilometers without a support group. We made all our own travel arrangements, planned for all our accommodations and meals, and carried everything weneeded on our backs.

The first day over the Pyrenees Mountains reveals spectacular views.

On September 12, 2018, we flew to Paris and thentraveled to St. Jean Pied de Port, our starting point inFrance. We set a goal of 12 – 15 miles a day and sometimes more, depending on where the next villagewas located. Surprisingly, after the first day that featureda rugged climb over the Pyrenees Mountains, the Caminofelt less like a leap of faith and more like a challenge toembrace. Enthralled by the path’s peacefulness andbeauty along with the camaraderie of other pilgrims, itwas easy to forget how far we had walked in a day.

Part of the route follows a restored ancient Roman road known as Via Aquitana.

I recorded our daily adventures in a Facebook blog.Bill kept a journal of names, places, and events along theway. During our 41 days of walking plus five “rest” daysto explore the larger cities, the landscape, terrain, andtemperature varied greatly. A church spire in the distancewas always the first sign of the next village. The extraordinary craftsmanship of these medieval buildings,whether large or small, epitomized the rich history of the

region as well as thejourneys of pilgrimsfrom ancient times.

hour walk. Accommodations for the night variedfrom multi-bed dormitories or rooms with several bunk beds to private rooms with a sharedbath. These albergues were spartan by Americanstandards but were always clean and operated byfriendly, helpful staff.Some albergues offered a communal meal.

These dinners served as a time to share life andtrail stories. Often a multilingual pilgrim or hostwould translate for the group but, somehow, different languages never stood in the way of ourmaking new friends.

Many albergues offer a communal dinner for pilgrim guests.

Each pilgrim carried a Credencial del Peregrino(pilgrim passport) that would be stamped at stopsalong the way. It verified where the pilgrim hadtraveled in order to earn the Compostela, or certificate of completion, at the end of the journey. Fellow pilgrims greeted one anotherwith the welcome, Buen Camino, which openedthe door to lively conversation that made themiles pass quickly. The time we spent walkingand talking without the usual distractions alsogave us a much deeper personal connection thanany we had felt before.We had read about a phenomenon known as

the “magic of the Camino.” But we experiencedit firsthand when, time and again, a “CaminoAngel” would seemingly come out of nowhereto offer help, guidance, or encouragement whenneeded.Pilgrims, we learned, have many different

reasons to make this journey. For some it was toovercome a sadness or loss, to relieve stress orrenew their spirits. For Bill and me, it was an expression of thankfulness. Walking the Camino

reinforced how little material things truly matterbut how important relationships are for a happier, healthier life.

The “golden” square in front of the Cathedral de Santiago is our final destination.

Some six weeks later, on October 27, 2018, wearrived in the square in front of the Cathedral deSantiago. We waited in line at the pilgrim officeto receive our Compostela that officially certifiedthe distance we walked.

Barbara’s pilgrim passport

Looking back, we realized the experience wasfar more than we ever imagined. What was thebest part of the journey? Meeting and getting toknow people of all ages from all over the world.The villagers, volunteers, and other pilgrimsalong the Camino created a lasting sense of howvast the world community is and yet, despite ourdifferences, how much we have in common.

I remember thinking about that song from the old musical Oklahoma when I would walk into our cornfieldback on the farm.I never knew how high an elephant’s eye was, but the

stalks were a lot taller than me at the time. I could notimagine getting an elephant to stand still long enoughto measure the corn. In fact, I had never even seen a real elephant, except once in a movie about Sabu, the elephant boy.When I was a kid on the farm, my mother would send

me into the field for corn while the big water pot wasboiling. We would be eating it 15 minutes off the stalk.It literally popped its juices when we bit into those freshears of corn slathered with butter.I was thinking about all this the other night when I was

enjoying an especially delicious, sweet ear of corn at dinner. I have been taking corn for granted my entire

life and never gave it much thought beyond my appetitefor it.Corn is amazing in its own right. Corn isn’t even a

vegetable. It’s a domesticated grass. It’s a grain, likewheat.The simple corn I ate as a kid isn’t the same as the corn

of today. Scientists have played around with it until mostof the corn today is labeled “super-sweet” corn. Americahas an ever-growing addiction to sugar. The sweeter thecorn, the more we eat it. If we don’t boil, steam, bake,or barbeque it, we pop it.Just watch movie patrons hauling half-bushel tubs of

popcorn the size of a small cow as they rush to their seats.And for the record, movie theater popcorn is the veryworst of the worst in popcorn. Half the weight is in transfats plus a zillion somethings of sodium. That fake butterthat turns your hands brown is often melted yellow lard.

Corn has over 3,500 specific uses in foods including milk, oil, baby food, peanut butter, animal feed, cereals, soups, ice cream, cookingoil, potato chips, chewing gum, flour, sugar, andalcohol – and I haven’t even listed the other3,485 uses. Coca Cola even uses corn to put allthat sugar in its pop.But corn isn’t just used with food. It is also

in gasoline, glue, ink, plastics, fireworks, dyes,rust preventatives, laundry detergent, aspirin,cosmetics, and antibiotics. And corn has an exactstructure, a specific DNA.The average ear of corn will have 800 kernels

in 16 rows and, interestingly enough, it seems itwas somehow designed that way. The number ofrows on each cob will always be even. Cornnever, ever has odd numbers of rows. That is really odd. And those silk things that get caught

in your teeth? There is one silk for every singlekernel.When I shop, I always look for white corn.

Somehow, I have reasoned that it is better tastingthan yellow corn. I never knew white corn existed until I saw it one day at the supermarketand noticed that the yellow corn was priced atthree for a dollar, while the white corn was 49 cents per ear. That’s how I knew white cornwas better than yellow corn. I am quick to pickup on things like that.I was kind of crushed a while ago when my

doctor put me on a 30-day diet that excludedcorn. But I put my shoulder to the wheel andwent hard at it. I was delighted when I was ableto finish that diet in just 3 days and 11 hours. I was so happy to get back to that ear of whitecorn on the cob at dinner that night.

Members – $5, Guests – $10

History of Line DancingToday’s line dancing has evolved from the old

“Con- tra” dances that were so popular in New Englandfrom the early 1800s. Two lines would form, men on oneside and the women on the other. The partners wouldjoin between the two lines and do their own routinedown the middle. When they reached the end, theywould return to their place in the line and the next couple would begin. In the 1940s “The Stroll” becamea popular version of this style of dance. In the movieGrease you saw John Travolta do “The Stroll.” In Viennapopular waltzes were danced in this “Contra” style. During the 1980s and 1990s, line dances started beingcreated for popular country songs. Today, we line danceto Country, and Pop fa-vorites!Line dance classes are offered at the Montecito Fitness

Center, Aerobics Studio. Try the first two classes for free!Registration is at 12:45 pm on Mondays only.Low $15 monthly fee includes all classes! Please check

Mah JonggFlower tiles in the Mah Jongg sets

have changed over the years; both inlooks and in the number of tiles in a set.They were not universally adopted until the 1920s. Theearly sets contained 12 flowers; but some sets had asmany as 20 and up to 44. The sets with the larger

July 201948 TheView

numbers were used in a variation of the gamecalled “Flower Mah Jongg.” In American MahJongg, flowers are treated as honor tiles; butfrom 1930-1960 they were considered jokers.The 12 flowers in the early sets represented

the four seasons, but there were no “Four Gentlemen” tiles. The “Four Gentlemen” tilesrepresent plants, Plum, Orchid, Chrysanthemum,and Bamboo. Later sets contained one each ofthe four seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter; and one each of the “Four Gentlemen.”This is the most prominent configuration in setstoday.The SCSH Mah Jongg Club meets every

Wednesday in the Montecito Clubhouse; regularplay for members is from 12:15 – 3:30 pm.Come and join us for an afternoon of fun andchallenging play. Free Mah Jongg lessons will notbe offered during the moths of June, July, andAugust. Membership dues for the 2019 calendaryear are $1.

the middle of our hot summer.You can hear our stalwart PB clubmembers on the courts just as soon as the suncomes up in the east, playing and commenting:“How many games can I play before I’m sweatingtoo much?” “I must be addicted to this game – Ihaven’t even had a cup of coffee.” “I gotta get ajump on those snowbirds coming back in the fall.”“How did you like my third shot drop?”The new season won’t be upon us until our first

get together in the fall. However, the new boardis meeting in the summer via teleconferencingand planning for the 2019-2020 season.The website is new and improved – go take a

Table Tennis“Respect All, Fear None” is the table

tennis motto for July. Yes, it is the “warcry” of the Toronto Raptor basketballteam before the NBA Championship series with theGolden State Warriors, but it also embodies the thoughtprocess of members of the table tennis club. We stumble,loose, scream, laugh, and sometimes even win in our regular competitive matches three days a week. The volleys can go from short and poor to long and outstanding, but in the end, games balance out in winsand losses. We play doubles and change partners afterevery match and many times the winners of one tableplay the winners of another.

The summer brings around 12 to 15 playersregularly so if you’ve thought about trying yourhand at the game of ping-pong, come on downto the Santa Rosa Clubhouse, Wednesdays at 11 am, Fridays and Sundays at 2 pm, and you canplay as long as you wish. We play 11-point gamesdespite some of us being “score keeping challenged.” And please don’t get discouraged ifyou don’t play well early on, as this was the casefor most of us. In fact, it still is for me until I playa few games and develop enough confidence totrash talk my opponents - good naturedly, ofcourse. People with thinning hair might want towear a hat at the start. You know who you are,John Wilcox!The new A/C makes fun and games more

comfortable, despite a couple of (strange) members who still wear a jacket…you know whoyou are, Steve Monsky! Canadians who are nothere in July, eat your heart out and keep yoursnow shovels at the ready.

who are 80 and beyond, but who have alsoshown the desire to not give in to what some call“old age.” These guys compete with a fire andjoy marveled at by many younger players. We
