Teacher For A DayBy Lisa Lundskow, Community Manager

Early this year, I received

a call from Ms. Vassily,

a third grade teacher at

Estrella Mountain Elementary

School here in Estrella. Ms.

Vassily and Mrs. Johns wanted

to know if I could come to do a

presentation for the third grade

on Community Governance.

Now, I don’t know about any of

you, but I was really thinking that

this was way out of the league

of eight-year-old children until

Ms. Vassily said that they were studying the different branches

of government and wanted to compare that to our community

structure.

So, Lifestyle Director Holly Aguilar and I jumped into action and

started to create our presentation for the third grade class. We

compared our Boards and voting authority in the community to the

different governmental agencies and included information about the

CC&Rs and contractual agreement entered into when their parents

purchased homes here.

When talking about the rules, we mentioned the rule about bringing

in trash cans and that they had to be in the garage or behind the

fence. One child jumped up and said, “We don’t have garbage cans,

we burn our trash.” Holly and I were ready to take down his address

and go check out the situation when the teacher quickly stated

that he was one of the few students who did not reside in Estrella.

We talked about the community rules and their responsibility as

residents to abide by those rules; and we discussed the benefits of

living in Estrella that include the amenities and events. We had also

>>> mANAGer’S meSSAGe

brought many pictures of Estrella events in which the students were

able to recognize themselves or their friends.

I have to say that there was one moment that they were all just

staring at me waiting for something—anything—to stir their interest.

I was thankful that Holly had investigated programs on third grade

government classes and found a fun, interactive game for the

students to play once the presentation was done. The students

would answer questions pertaining to the presentation and a racecar

would travel through a track until all questions were answered

correctly and the car made its way to the finish line. Children who

answered the questions correctly were rewarded with a little gold

Estrella trophy.

Although it was very intimidating standing in front of 60 eight year

olds, we felt that it was a very successful presentation and the

children all had fun. We are also certain that they all went home and

told their parents to make sure to put their trash cans away.

F or many years I have worked in community management.

Very few management companies offer their clients on-site

management. Most have a central office location where

their staff works. Community Managers make site visits or property

inspections weekly, bi-weekly or sometimes only monthly. It is

usually on a set day and time. Managers who have more than one

community have limited time to schedule these visits and rarely

can they drop everything and drive out to a community if there is a

request to do so.

Capital Consultants Management Corporation is rare in the industry.

Though they have some “portfolio” communities, (those that are not

large enough to have site staff), the vast majority of the communities

they manage are the on-site variety. From my years of experience, on-

site management offers so many added benefits to our client residents.

In Estrella CCMC offers an on-site Community Services office

where Community Manager Lisa Lundskow and the rest of the

CCMC staff are available to assist current and potential residents

of Estrella. The Estrella Community Services office is an oasis in

the desert to so many new residents. They come by to get all of

the information they need that they may not have received prior to

closing escrow. Many new residents stop in to ask questions not

only about the community, but about the surrounding area. Our staff

regularly answers questions about where to go for shopping and

entertainment too. The great thing about the Estrella staff is that

many of them live in or near Estrella, making them a great resource

in the community. Our staff is also stocked with great “salespeople”

for your community. We receive many calls as well as walk in traffic

from potential owners who are inquiring about the community. They

are pleasantly surprised that the staff is on site and ready to assist.

Often times they tell us this is what made them decide to by a home

in Estrella versus a neighboring property.

If you just need to drop off your assessment payment, pick up

architectural guidelines and rules, have a question about the

association, need to know where there is a great place to eat, where

the closest shopping mall is located, want to pick up a community

magazine or purchase event tickets, you need look no further than

your own Community Services Office.

Exciting Events In and Around EstrellaSubmitted by Newland Communities


Stepping Into SpringSubmitted by: Jim Potts, Horticulturist

As we step into spring, has spring truly sprung? Or is

Mother Nature just teasing us as to the beautiful weather

that is yet to come?

It is possible to have freezing temperatures in early March, so don’t

put the frost protection away for the summer just yet. Typically by

mid-march, the risk of freezing temperatures has lessened for the

lower desert areas, but in the foothills and outlying areas a freeze is

certainly still a possibility.

As temperatures begin to rise, it’s time to turn your irrigation timer

back on if you shut it off for the winter and adjust the settings for

the season to come. There is a great deal of information available

online for irrigation settings such as “water use it wisely” and other

municipal resources. Be sure to test the timer to see if it’s working

properly, replace the back-up battery if necessary and check the

system for leaks. It’s not unusual for valves to stick on, or pass water

slightly after sitting idle for the winter. Your local Irrigation supply

store can help walk you through the repair if necessary.

This is also a good time to start

pruning the native and desert

adapted plants in our pallet.

Pruning should always be done to maintain plant health; removing

only dead, damaged or diseased portions and cross branching to

highlight the natural shape of the plant. Heavy pruning or “shearing”

can cause stress to a plant and invite insects that may damage the

plant. It’s always best to prune the minimum required and only where

necessary. A plant can recover quicker from several small pruning

wounds than from a single large wound, a good rule of thumb is to

never remove more than 20% of the plants tissue in a year.

Now is a good time of year to prune;

Texas Sage

Yellow Bells

Lantana

Valentine Bush

Cassia and most plants that were damaged in the freeze.

When pruning freeze damage; only prune back to where new

buds are emerging, some plants will be a little slower than others

recovering from the damage, so be patient.

The insects will begin to show up as temperatures rise. Most

damage is cosmetic, so don’t panic. Typically a good stream of

water will wash them off or better yet, let the beneficial insects take

care of them. Keep the plants watered properly and as stress free

as possible and they should be fine.

Spring weeds will start to emerge now with some rain. You can

manually remove them by hand or use a systemic herbicide (follow

the label carefully) to control them in larger populations. As always,

protect any innocent bystander plants as these types of chemicals

are typically broad spectrum. Many home improvement stores can

help you decide which product fits your needs best.

I f you have not walked The South Lake recently, you are missing out on a beautiful experience. The illumination from the newly refurbished ornamental lights creates the perfect setting for a

magical evening as you stroll around the lakes. The lights at South Lake are part of the ornamental light pole refurbishment project that includes the North and South Lake lights. This first phase of the project is nearing completion. By the time you are reading this article, there will only be a couple of weeks before the North Lake is complete.

Over the past few months, dedicated resident volunteers in conjunction with Todd Wuellner, Facilities Director for Estrella, have put in numerous hours researching and developing a plan to restore the ornamental light poles around the lakes, as well as parts of Elliot Road and Estrella Parkway. The team recommended to the Estrella Joint Committee board to refurbish the ornamental light poles rather than replace the them. This recommendation saved the community hundreds of thousands of dollars when compared to the cost of replacement.

Once Phase I is complete, Phase II, consisting of the ornamental light poles on Elliot Road and Estrella Parkway, will be underway by the end of April. It is important for all residents to remain aware of the project and be alert to the closure of walking and biking paths as the project moves forward with sections of poles being removed and sent for refurbishing. Safety is an important factor with this project and every effort is made to enforce the recommended safety plans.

T he Estrella Trails Committee wanted to introduce ourselves

and share a few things that are near and dear to us folks

planning and building our community trail system. We will

begin with discussing our charter and trail planning process, trail

etiquette, and finally letting you know about our trails!

Recreational trail use is more popular than ever, and the number

of trail users is increasing. People are going outside looking for

exercise, fun and a connection to nature. A well-designed trail

system will provide that while keeping the environment in better

shape. Since trails are a very popular source of recreation, people

often move to areas that provide them.

The Estrella Trails Committee works with our community and the

Estrella Joint Committee to develop, manage and maintain the

Estrella Trail System. Many of our committee members have been

to “trail school” and have used trails in various recreational activities

most of our lives. We hope our passion for trails will help build a

better community for all.

Estrella Trails Committee: Blazing the Trail By Estrella Trails Committee Members, Renee Bammel & Shirley Robertson

>>> CelebrATING eSTrellA

The Committee Members for 2013 with their nicknames are:

Mike “Odie” Park

Brian “Harv” Roberts

Ken “Big Dog” Hill

John “JP” Peters

Kim “Kahuna” Doud

Our process of developing trails involves our community. When

considering a new addition or the adoption of an old trail,

the committee discusses whether it enhances flow from one

neighborhood to another, and if it can be built sustainably while

mitigating sensitive community issues. We provide a general

map and we also physically mark the general trail corridor. If any

issues come up, we attempt to meet the concerns and try to find

a compromise that works for everyone. After the planning process

is complete, we take a proposal to our HOA board for approval.

Once approved, we get to work. We build our trails by hand, using

pick axes, sledge hammers, rakes and our brawn………and all for

free! That’s right, we do this at NO building cost to the community

and for no gain by the trail builders. The only cost has been for Trail-

Head and Directional Arrow Signage. Trails in other communities

have cost the residents hundreds of thousands of dollars. Estrella is

blessed to have our trails for FREE!

“These are the best trails in the Valley. I am in the process of moving

to Estrella and the trails are a big reason for the move.”

As part of a feedback process, our HOA did a trail survey and we

had VERY favorable comments as well as some suggestions. We

are listening, and we are going to get you a map and get some

doggie bags out there!

Please follow trail etiquette. Our trails are for people on foot and

bike. Four-legged pets are welcomed and encouraged, but please

keep them under control and clean up after them. There should

not be any motorized vehicles or horses on any of the Estrella trails

unless it is a trail crew doing maintenance. Some trails might not be

suited for all fitness levels or technical abilities, so if a trail is new to

you consult a friend, go on-line to www.LifeinEstrella.com or look at

the tear-out map in this issue of Life in Estrella (on reverse page).

Please stay on the trail. This prevents erosion that messes up the

beauty of our area, while keeping home owners near trails happy.

Please do not litter. If you see garbage on the ground and pick it up,

you’re AWESOME!

We are currently working hard to establish a loop that encircles

Estrella – The Estrella Loop! It is nearly complete, we just need

to finish a few trail sections and install some signs to celebrate its

completion. It is made up of a series of trail sections, named to

describe terrain or location, and makes use of several tunnels that

keep the trails away from traffic. There are a few road crossings, so

please be sure to obey all traffic laws to safely cross the roads! The

Estrella Loop is approximately 12.5 miles.

We are currently working with Newland Communities and Estrella

Mountain Regional Park to offer more trail opportunities for you.

Stand by for more information!

Something else we are going to offer our community is “Memorial

Benches.” They are heavy duty benches that will have a dedication

plaque on the bench. As of now, the bench is approximately $400

including an inlay plaque. If you want to learn more about how you

Don’t miss out on being the first to have a permanent bench, with an inlay engraved plaque, dedicated as you wish. Our first distribution of benches will be only six benches distributed throughout our beautiful trails. These benches will be a per-manent structure in Estrella for all to see. Imagine your family’s name embossed on a bench for generations, nestled in the beautiful trails in Estrella. If you are interested in purchasing one of these benches please contact us immediately. Because of the popularity of these benches, they will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Contact Todd Wuellner at [email protected] or call 623.386.1112.

Estrella Memorial Trail Benches

can have one of the first permanent benches on our trails for all

to see, read the section ‘Estrella Memorial Benches’ below, visit

www.lifeinestrella.com and/or contact us at communications@

lifeinestrella.com. The Trails Committee will get together with the

bench “owner” and choose one of the many designated “Stop and

Smell the Flowers” locations on the trail. Most are at the top of a bluff

and will allow you to take a moment, relax and take in the beauty

of Estrella. The Trails Committee members are still drawing straws

to determine who gets to lug those heavy benches up the hill for

installation. One favorite bench is already there waiting for you to

enjoy. It’s known as the ‘Bunny Bench’ since it is cast concrete

in the form of a bunny rabbit. If you look closely, you can see the

Bunny Bench on the bluff behind Elliot Market. Or better yet, hike up

the trail from the San Gabriel trailhead, say “Hello” to the bunny and

enjoy the view while you sit on his back.

There you have it! We hope you are going to get those shoes on,

or get on your bike and get out on the trails. Use the Estrella Trails

map included in this issue to plan where you can access the trails

and how far you want to go. If you have questions, suggestions, or

want to help build or maintain trails, we typically have meetings the

last Wednesday of the month at 5pm at Starpointe. Please go to

www.lifeinestrella.com website for current information. See you on

the trails!

I n the trophy cases of

the Gymnasium and the

Performing Arts Center lobbies

at Estrella Foothills High School

are several trophies and plaques

acknowledging the championships

and accomplishments of various

sports teams and performing arts

groups over the last decade. Those

awards are inspiring for current

students to see what those before

them have done, and for alumni

to come back and remember. For me, however, these reminders

hold value beyond the particular moment in time which they were

received. For me, the trophies and plaques symbolize what I want

for our students throughout their lives.

At EFHS, we strive for success for all students through building

relationships, establishing relevance, and increasing rigor. As part

of this, we acknowledge that each student has different talents

and desires and, therefore, will define success differently. And, we

acknowledge that there is more to school than just what takes place

in the classroom.

We encourage all students to take an appropriately demanding

and rigorous course load so they are not only admitted to the post-

secondary institutions and opportunities, but so they are prepared

to be successful in their post-secondary pursuits. When students

Winning: A Lifelong AspirationBy Dr. Leslie Standerfer, Principal

leave our campus, we want them to have a myriad of opportunities

available to them. And, we don’t want them to be excluded from

any possible opportunities because of their grades or lack of

appropriate coursework and preparation in high school. Beyond

their coursework, we want them to be well-rounded individuals.

We want them to be the modern Renaissance men and women

that have experiences in the arts, athletics, academic clubs, and all

areas that may interest them. We want them to have experiences

where they work cooperatively with others, face challenges, feel

the excitement that comes with victory, and overcome the agony

of defeat. We want them to develop self-efficacy; where they know

their personal strengths, and have strategies for building their

weaknesses. It is often balancing academic studies with other

activities where students develop important life skills such as time

management, compromise, and endurance.

As students get involved in athletics and activities on campus, they

come to feel the pride that comes with being a part of something

bigger than oneself. They come to understand the quote from

Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book that we often see posted and hear

repeated on campus, “For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and

the strength of the wolf is the pack.”

*EFHS will observe Spring Break March 11th through 15th. We will

also observe a Spring Holiday on March 29th. Although school will

not be in session, there may still be athletics and other activities on

campus during break.

Have you heard of the National Geographic Map? The

map is the size of a basketball court! It is used to teach

children the power and fun that maps can have. Well,

the map has traveled to all but five states in the United States,

and it is now here in Arizona! The director of the project has sent

out ten maps. There are three in Africa, three in Asia, and four in

North America. The map was at Westar Elementary the month of

February and was featured at our “STEM Night.” That STEM night

was awesome! You can find information about Westar STEM nights

on our website. http://www.liberty.k12.az.us/education/school/

Nigerian Pen Pals

Speaking of maps and going global, did you know that Mr. Paduano’s

6th grade class has Nigerian pen pals? They are writing letters back

and forth and doing projects together. I have interviewed two of these

6th grade students. They told me that in the letters they talk about

different cultures and languages – even what they wear! They said

that they really enjoy the pen pal project. Both students sounded very

interested in the different Nigerian customs and cultures of their pals.

Spring Break - March 11-15

Spring Holiday - March 29

We are in the heart of

another exciting season

of Spring Training

baseball in Goodyear. This year marks

the fifth anniversary of the Goodyear

Ballpark, which has been named the

Best Place to watch a Spring Training

game two of the last three years by the

New Times “Best Of” Readers’ Poll.

There are several exciting events taking place this year during the

anniversary season. There will be four night games that include

fireworks displays, along with six autograph days throughout the

season. And March 30 will be a Fan Appreciation Day. In addition,

family-friendly activities such as Estrella Falls Kid Zone with FREE

inflatables will take place every game, Kids Run the Bases events

are held at each Saturday and Sunday game, while Seniors Stroll

the Bases are held every Tuesday.

Another very exciting event will take place on March 6, when

Goodyear will host the World Baseball Classic and the Cincinnati

Reds take on Team Canada in an exhibition game. The World

Baseball Classic is the premier international baseball tournament.

This year, there are teams from 16 countries, and we are honored

to have one of the stops right here at our own Goodyear Ballpark.

It is only fitting that we host Team Canada as our city and state have

become such a popular destination for our neighbors to the north. In

fact, Arizona is now home to more than 140 Canadian businesses.

The Goodyear Police Department would like to remind the

community to protect oneself against crimes of opportunity.

By definition, a crime of opportunity is one that is committed

without planning. Basically, when the perpetrator sees the chance

to commit a crime, he/she seizes the opportunity. Goodyear Police

offer the following tips to avoid being a crime victim:

• Lock car doors and roll up windows

• Park in well lit areas at night

• Do not leave valuables in your vehicle

• Lock home doors and windows at night or when leaving

• Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings, walk with a sense

of purpose

Don’t Fall Victim to Crimes of OpportunityBy Lisa Kudis, PIO, Goodyear Police

• Carry your purse firmly and close to your body or better yet leave

it at home and only carry what you need in your pocket - such as a

small amount of money, keys, and maybe one credit card.

• Have your car or house key in your hand as you approach the

door.

• Follow your “gut instinct”, don’t put yourself in an uncomfortable

situation

• Use the buddy system, especially if out at night

• Use well lit and well traveled streets and walkways

• Being aware of one’s surroundings and identifying potential

threats and dangerous situations is more of a mindset than a skill

set. Situational awareness can be exercised by anyone and can truly

make the difference between being a victim of a crime or not.


CITYCanada Day In GoodyearBy Tom Cortabitarte, General Manage

Submitted by The City of Goodyear

More than 650,000 Canadians visited Arizona last year alone.

We are officially proclaiming March 6 to be “Canada Day” in

Goodyear. The night will be filled with Canadian culture, trivia and

prizes. Canadian flags will be given away to the first 1,000 fans.

Canadian food, beer and other beverages will also be available.

Team Canada will play the Cincinnati Reds beginning at 7:05 PM

on March 6, and tickets for the game are now available. To order

tickets visit www.goodyearbp.com or call 623-882-3130. There are

discounted tickets available by mentioning “Canada.”

I am excited about another great year of baseball in Goodyear,

and especially proud to honor our Canadian visitors during this fun

exhibition game on March 6.
