so be sure to enter the contest! Simply drop by the office and guess how many candy
pieces are in our candy jar. The resident who comes closest to the actual number of
candies wins a dinner gift card!
‘ SERENADING THE NEIGHBORS
A loud home or car sound system might be music to your ears, but your neighbors
may not appreciate the serenade. Please remember to keep the volume turned
down, and pay special attention to the bass. Thanks for keeping in tune with our
community.
THE LEGEND OF ST. VALENTINE
One legend tells of Valentine, a priest who was executed for secretly performing
marriages for young lovers. Roman Emperor Claudius II had banned marriage for
young men, deciding single men made better soldiers. Valentine left a farewell note
for his jailer’s daughter, who had befriended him, signing it, “From your Valentine.”
For his service, Valentine was named a saint after his death.
Chihuly in the Garden
F
iery crimson and yellow glass towers, icy-blue spikes, dazzling
neon panels, and gleaming metallic globes are set against the
natural earth tones of our Sonoran Desert. It’s been five years since
Dale Chihuly came to the red buttes of Papago Park to blend the
textures, vibrant colors, and grand scale of his amazing glass works
of art with the beautiful desert landscape of the Desert Botanical
Garden in Phoenix, but now he’s back. It took no less than six,
53-foot trailer trucks to transport his new and “reimagined” glass art,
armatures, and tools necessary to put together this extraordinary exhibit.
This year’s exhibit opened in November 2013 and will run through
May 18, 2014. It features 21 Chihuly installations of his artwork that
can be viewed even during late evening hours this spring.
If you’re not familiar with him, Dale Chihuly (72) is something of
a world-renowned rock star in the field of hand-blown glass art. His
works of art have been showcased and “installed” among the live
plant exhibits throughout the Garden. Many of his creations are
comprised of hundreds of uniquely-crafted glass and polyvitro pieces
that must be assembled by his staff. The largest work on display,
Summer Sun, is made up of 2,000 individual glass pieces alone. It
can take up to four days to meticulously assemble one work of art.
After a couple of unfortunate accidents in the ’70s left Chihuly
unable to do his own glassblowing, he developed a team method of
creating his art. He now designs and experiments with the art in his
Seattle studio and orchestrates his elite team of artists, designers,
and installers to help him realize his visions.

Romancing the West
F
ebruary traditionally is the month Arizonans have a love
affair with their Western heritage. So put on your ten-gallon
hat, grab your favorite pair of boots, and saddle up for two of
the state’s most beloved Western events.
La Fiesta de los Vaqueros is Tucson’s oldest community
event and includes one of the country’s top 25 professional
rodeos. On Saturday, February 15, the gates open at the
Tucson Rodeo Grounds for some gritty, wild bull riding, bronco
busting, steer wrestling, roping, and barrel racing. At 9 a.m.
on Thursday, February 20, 200,000 folks will line the 2.5-mile
parade route for the longest non-motorized parade in the
world. The fun wraps up with the Rodeo Finals on Sunday,
February 23.
Not to play second fiddle, Scottsdale hosts its annual
Parada del Sol. First out of the chute is an 8 a.m. Fun Run for
all ages, followed at 11 a.m. by one of the largest Westernthemed parades, with horses, wagons, and buggies. The
day winds up with plenty of food, live music, and dancing
at the Trail’s End Block Party. Then it’s rodeo time with the
Champions Challenge on February 27 and an exciting week
of PRCA rodeo action (through March 2) at WestWorld.

SHARP IDEA
It’s easy to sharpen the blades of your
garbage disposal. First, run the cold water.
Next, turn on the disposal. Then, with the
water running, feed a dozen ice cubes
down the disposal. Repeat if necessary.
For a refreshing, clean scent, follow with
baking soda or fresh lemon peel.
SMOKE DETECTOR
For your safety, each home is equipped
with a smoke detector. Please check your
system every month by pressing the test
button located on the detector. A loud
noise means the alarm is working. If there
is no sound, be sure to let us know. For
assistance in checking your smoke
detector, just give us a call.
A TOUCH OF ROMANCE v
Candles add a romantic touch but must
be used with caution. Place each candle in
a sturdy holder that is big enough to catch
dripping wax. To reduce smoke and soot,
keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch. Always
extinguish lit candles before leaving home
or retiring for the night. Keep candles and
matches away from children.
