NewsRESIDENT PROFILE
Randy was born in Mohall, North Dakota and moved to Washington
State as an in-fant. April was born in Chate-auroux, France and her
parents were trans-ferred back to
the United States when she was an infant due to her fathers
military career. After moving several times, her family settled in
Federal Way, Washington.
Randy and April grew up 2.5 miles from each other, with many of
the same friends but didnt meet until high school. They married in
1977 and lived in Fed-eral Way, Washington for the first 10-years
of mar-riage, then moved to Puyallup, Washington and raised their
two sons, Rob and Karl. Randy had a wonderful 34-year career with
the Boeing Company employed as a precision tool grinder making
cutting tools to manu-facture airplane parts, the last 12 years he
worked as a QA inspector. Aprils 28-year career included work for
the school district(s) in the transportation depart-ment. She
started as a part-time school bus driver, then eventually was a
dispatcher, and trained and supervised a staff of 130
transportation employees for the Auburn School District.
Randy and April love to travel and have been on some amazing
trips in the United States as well as to Mexico, Japan, France,
Italy, and Spain. This last year they had the most life changing
experience while spending three-weeks in the Philippines. During
their many travels, a trip to the Grand Canyon helped them realize
a love for the Arizona warmth, so they returned four additional
times planning to be snow birds in the future. As retire-ment
neared, their plans to be snow birds changed to full-time living.
It also helped that their two sons and families with two adorable
granddaughters moved to San Diego, California and would be nearby.
On May 21, 2013 they packed the car and trailer and made the big
move to Arizona. Now living here full-time, Randy and April enjoy
every-thing about Arizona, especially their new community of Sun
City Festival. They currently travel two weeks a month to San
Diego, California to babysit their 17-month old and 4-year old
granddaughters. When not in California babysitting, Randy plays on
the Festi-val Softball Club, they ride their motorcycles, bicycles,
and take advantage of the amazing amenities of the Sage Center pool
and fitness center. Most of all, they enjoy meeting all of their
new neighbors and making friends.
They look forward to a lifetime of creating wonderful memories
and experiences here in their new hometown.

People in the United States spend approximately $130 billion on
arthritis treatments each year. Because arthritis is so common, its
no wonder we have a plethora of available treatments both effective
and ineffective.
A crucial thing to do is get a correct diagnosis. Some
illnesses, like gout, can have arthritis-like symptoms.
Additionally, the diagnosis needs to determine the correct type of
arthritis. This will always determine correct and effective
treatment. Rheumatoid, virus-caused, or any of the 100 other types
of arthritis, need to be treated correctly.
The right food choices can also make a difference. Some foods
help fight inflammation (local and systemic), a problem common with
arthritis. And, keeping food intake appropriate will also help
maintain healthy body weight, thus minimizing stress on joints.
Lean meats and fish, plenty of fresh vegetables and a lot of
omega-3 fatty acids are the best choices to help with arthritis
treatment.
Exercise is also some of the best medicine for arthritis.
Inactivity can simply lead to additional joint deteriora-tion.
Low-impact, range-of-motion exercise such as tai chi, aqua
aerobics, yoga and cycling are perfect for achy joints. These
exercises stimulate circulation, strengthen muscles used to
stabilize joints, and loosen tight, sore muscles.
At the first sign of chronic joint pain, many people reach for
the glucosamine supplements. This may not be the cure it is
believed to be. Glucosamine is a compound naturally occurring in
the joints and surrounding cartilage.
The pill is believed to help to rebuild joints. This treatment
may provide some short-term pain relief when injected into the
joint. Pill form typically provides little help.
We spend more money treating arthritis than we do cancer. Money
that is well spent means getting an accurate diagnosis and getting
effective treat-ments. Not everything believed to provide help with
arthritis can actually make a difference. Visit www.arthritis.org
to learn more about symptoms and treatment of arthritis.

Why Over-Seed?Each October we close the course for three weeks
to accom-plish Over-Seeding. Why would we want to close the course
for three weeks just as the weather is getting nice and the course
is in great shape?
The reason is to provide our golfers with a better playing
surface and green grass during the cool winter months. If we dont
go through the Over-Seed process, our Bermuda base turf becomes
yellowish/brown after the first frost of the year. The Bermuda
grass actually goes dormant during the cooler winter months. For
this reason, we Over-Seed with Rye grass, which is a cool season
grass that is able to grow in the winter months.
The process begins by cutting the Bermuda grass short, a process
called scalping, and reducing the water supply, thus forcing the
Bermuda grass into a state of dormancy.
We then seed the course with Rye grass and turn the wa-ter back
on to germinate the Rye seed. Rye grass requires constant moisture
until it germinates and matures. October temperatures are ideal for
this process and keeps the Ber-muda grass dormant.
We hope this helps answer the question of Why Over-Seed? and we
appreciate your patience during this process.
Player Development Clinic
As part of our Get Golf Ready Program, we will be offering a
Player Development Clinic on Monday, October 26 from 11 am - 12:30
pm. We will have both full swing and short game stations set up
with emphasis on the basic fundamentals of each area. This clinic
is limited to the first 20 participants and the cost is just
$20.
Please sign-up in the Golf Shop.
