744-9338 After more than ten visits to Tucson over a twenty-five year span, and careful examination of many communities, Jane and I purchased our home in The Highlands. We moved from Indianapolis to become full time residents in 2009.

Highlands Activities and Committees:

I served on the Election Committee for 3 years and became the Chairman. During this time I participated on the team to formalize the name change to include the Volunteer aspect of the committee, and organized and conducted two Board elections. This enabled me to become familiar with the policies and procedures of the HOA. Shortly after I became Chairman of the Election and Volunteer Committee, I had the opportunity to participate in the Strategic Planning team. This team worked with an outside consultant to examine the long range needs of the Highlands community. Each member of our team spent more than 150 hours individually in becoming familiar with the opportunities and challenges that our HOA faces. The Strategic Planning team transitioned into the Strategic Planning Committee in June of 2014. It has been my pleasure to serve on the committee as a vice chairman and Chairman since the committee’s inception. Our committee has worked with all the current committees, Community Manager, and the Board of Directors for the past year and a half. During this time, we have successfully created several action plans for the benefit of the community. I believe I have a firm handle on the social, financial, and administrative aspects of The Highlands. I look forward to serving our community on our Board of Directors and pledge my time and talents to the community’s best interest. Why Be a Board Member? With my involvement in the strategic planning process I have gained a broad knowledge of most of the issues facing The Highlands and the strategies needed to keep our community viable and to enhance our ameni-ties and lifestyle. By being on the Board, I plan on representing all of our residents and make communications to our resi-dents and staff open and transparent. What are the most important issues facing the Highlands? I feel that the important and pressing issues are:

•Continued implementation of our Strategic Plan with an eye on improving amenities within a prudent budget process.

•Review all opportunities to improve home values.

•To maintain and improve our sound financial status, and ensure that all fiscal practices are adhered to. Support sound policies with the Community Manager and his staff to improve their functions with high efficiency and effec-tiveness.

Career I worked in the commercial insurance and risk management area for 30+ years. During that time, I handled the risk and insurance needs for several Fortune 1000 companies. This included: setting up insurance companies to transfer risks for both Domestic and Foreign companies, and working with the Board of Directors for those companies along with their finan-

cial, legal, and human resource departments.

Eighteen lady golfers raised $704.00 for our chosen charity; Casa de los Ninos. This is a local charity in Tucson that supports abused and neglected children. Six-thousand children were served in 2014. The prize for the fewest putts was won by Davie Schonewald. February we will be joining the “Red Hawks”, we hope we can keep up with them.

HIKING CLUB

Welcome in the New Year, January 1, 2016 with many of your Highland’s Hiking Club friends by participating in a fun and leisurely hike in the Tortolita Mountains. Hike Leader Richard Muzzy will lead the group on the Upper Javelina Trail. The hike will be a level C hike. You can sign up with Richard at (520) 284-2627 or just show up in the Highland’s parking lot by 9:20 am on New Year’s Day. There will be no carpool fee. Please bring water and snacks if desired. The club is having a photo competition now through March 2016. Each month photos submitted will be reviewed by a group led by club member Gordon Han-

son. The selected photo will be published in the monthly hiking schedule and Hiking Club Highlander article. In April, two photos will be selected to replace the current photos on the club website. Please submit hiking photos to the hiking club

email address [email protected] or to your hike leader. This year we are implementing two new programs to recognize hiker participation. First, a $25 HIGHLAND’S GIFT CARD will be awarded to one hiker each month from November to April. The winning hiker will be chosen in a random drawing by the hike leaders and be notified by our Club Secretary. The only requirement for entry in the drawing is to participate in at least one hike during the month. The selected hiker for November 2015 is… Sharon Fancher, Congratulations Sharon!! The second program is an annual hiker mileage participation button. It is a one inch (1”) button that will fit nicely on a hat or backpack. The button will recognize annual mileage participation at 25+, 50+, 100+ and 200+ mileage marks. A list of 2015 recipients will be emailed to club members in January. Recipients will be able to pick up their button from our Club Treasurer, John Skillicorn (320) 282-8463. Start hiking now to earn a button for 2016!!

Mark your calendars for two important club events. The club will facilitate a group HIKING TRIP TO SEDONA, AZ Wednesday March 9 through Friday March 11, 2016. Our ANNUAL PICNIC is planned for Thursday March 17, 2016. Hik-ing will be in the Tortolita Mountains and the picnic will be at Dove Mountain Park.

Club Notes: Welcome in our four new hike leaders; Linda Hanson, Ray Kuhn, Gary Kvasnica and Dave Barker. Look for

additional leisurely and moderate hikes from our new hike leaders.

The club website has been revised and updated to better facilitate usage. Please check it out! Although there are no Orienta-tion Hikes planned for January 2016, please call Chuck Fish at (651) 815-3895 or David Rogers at (520) 579-2585 or John Skillicorn (320) 282-8463 for Orientation Hikes and membership information. To ensure you receive the monthly and weekly hiking club emails, each resident club member’s name must be in the High-land’s HOA directory with a valid and current email address. Finally, the five dollar ($5) annual membership dues are billed on your January HOA statement. We welcome new members year-round… hope to see you on the trails!

TUCSON LANDSCAPING THEME

There were many requests for landscaping advice in the recent ALC design survey. Most Highlands residents come from somewhere else and find trying to landscape with cacti and other drought tolerant plants a bit perplexing. How can we choose plants that tolerate our heat, low rainfall, occasional freezes, and alkaline soil, yet still look nice? One of the easiest ways to do this is to stick with native plants. Greg Corman, a respected Tucson plantsman, has creat-ed a garden plan with lots of interesting form and color that he calls “Totally Tucson.” His list is made up of upper Sonoran Desert plants that can live un-irrigated in a properly swaled

yard. A sampling of this list follows.

Trees

Blue Palo Verde (Parkinsonia florida) Velvet Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora)

Shrubs

Creosote Bush (Larrea tridentata) Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum poliofolium) Limber Bush (Jatropha cardiophylla) Pine-leaf Milkweed (Asclepias linaria) Shrubby Senna (Senna wislizenii) Trixis (Trixis californica) Cacti

Fishhook Barrel (Ferocactus wislizeni) Santa Rita Prickly Pear (Opuntia violacea santa-rita)

Accents

Banana Yucca (Yucca baccata) Bear Grass (Nolina microcarpa) Golden-flowered Agave (Agave chrysantha) Ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens)

Perennial Wildflowers

Dogweed (Thymophylla/Dyssodia pentachaeta) Parry’s Penstemon (Penstemon parryi) Tufted Evening Primrose (Oenothera caespitosa)

HIGHLANDS TENNIS

ASSOCIATION

If you are a tennis player who wants to get the most enjoyment out of his or her game, then the Highlands Tennis Association is for you. As a member, you can sign up to have one of our schedulers arrange a game of doubles for you with players of similar ability – Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for men and Monday, Wednesday and Friday for women. In addition, as a member of the association you will pay a reduced price for dinner or brunch during the two annual social events, the Spring Fling and Fall Fling. You will also have 24/7 access to our top-flight ball machine. Membership, which costs $15 a year, is open to all own-ers and renters living at The Highlands at Dove Moun-tain. Payments are added to your HOA bill automatically once a year. For further information, contact HTA Presi-dent Bob Meredith at (661-0042) or HTA Secretary/Treasurer Linda Hefele at (579-6964).

REIKI LEVEL I TRAINING

Saturday, January 23, 12:00 – 5:00 pm

Reiki Is For YOU!...Not Just for Those in Healing

Professions Start your new year off right energetically by joining us to learn to raise your energetic frequency and bring wellness into your everyday life and to loved ones (pets included!) . You will learn to work on the physical, mental and emotional levels. Reiki will help increase your intuition and capacity to hold and work with energy. Medical science has conducted studies and recognizes Reiki as very beneficial in enhancing the immune system, lowering blood pressure and heart rate, increasing the efficiency of medications, reducing levels of pain, and allowing for relaxation so the body can more readily re-turn to its natural state of well being. It is studied at UAMC in the School of Integrative Medicine and provid-ed by Casa de la Luz Hospice. Many people easily medi-tate after learning Reiki when they could never achieve that state before. The fee for Level I is $100 (and you may receive reattunement for $30.) To register or for more infor-mation and upcoming classes, contact Judy Ferrig, M.S., Reiki Master-Teacher at (520) 245-4214 or [email protected]. I offer CE hours.

THANK YOU

Once again, we would like to thank everyone who participated in the Friendship Lunch to benefit the Teenage Parent Program at Marana

High School. The support that these young parents receive from the Highlands community has a tremendous impact on their lives and the lives of their babies. We are touched by your generosity. Marianne Wyatt and Sandy Schulte

Mardi Gras” is Rotary Club’s 2016 fundraiser Forget the airline reservations for New Orleans and set aside Satur-day, Feb. 6, 2016 for a Mardi Gras celebration right here at The Highlands. Dove Mountain Rotary Club will be presenting “Mardi Gras” as an extraordinary evening of fine dining, raffle and auction, plus Dixie-land and Cajun sounds by musicians from the award-winning Tuc-son Jazz Institute. Tickets for the event, at $60 per person, ($550 for a table of 10) are available from any Rotarian and include a $30 tax deductible dona-tion to the club’s foundation to support community service projects. The club’s major fundraiser returns to The Highlands for the second year in a row after last year’s highly successful “Fiesta Rotaria” dinner-auction and mariachi music concert. The 2015 event raised more than $18,000 to support the club’s scholarship, juvenile litera-cy and nutrition programs. Since its founding in 2006, the club has annually awarded four scholarships to graduates of Marana and Mountain View high schools, and free dictionaries for each third grader in five elemen-tary schools. It also supports the Marana schools’ Power Pack pro-gram of weekend nutrition for needy pupils, and Marana Heritage Conservancy education programs. Dove Mountain Rotary meets at 5 p.m. each Thursday in the High-lands clubhouse. Residents always are welcome to attend.

THANK YOU

To the friends and neighbors of Carole Bedwell. On behalf of Carole's family we want to say Thank You to all of you. During a very difficult time for us, your care and con-cern you have shown to her and us has been deeply

appreciated.

As we have had to spend time here to finalize her affairs, we have re-ceived offers of help and support from so many of you. We can't tell you how much that has touched us all. From the beginning everyone

from the manager to pro shop, acquaintances, neigh-bors and loving friends have reached out to help us. It has only confirmed to us why our sister loved this community so much.

We also thank you for all the work that went into the lovely memorial.

We will always be grateful. Carole Waggoner Bedwell's Family
