Association Committees

Active Health

Chair Rita Menet 920-659-1428 rita.menet@gmail.com

Next meeting Nov. 7, 3 pm, WC1

This month the Active Health Committee would like to spotlight our community Brain Health Action Group (BHAG). Alzheimer's is estimated by the National Institute of Health to be the seventh leading cause of death of Americans. A recent clinical trial led by researcher Dr. Dale Bredesen suggests Alzheimer's can be reversed by identifying and correcting personal biological deficiencies, toxin exposures, and pathogens, and by making critical diet and lifestyle changes. Much larger trials are planned, but why wait years for results if you feel your memory is not as good as it used to be, or if Alzheimer's runs in your family? The Brain Health Action Group is a SCOV support group for those making the changes outlined in Dr. Bredesen's book, The End of Alzheimer's Program. The BHAG welcomes anyone interested or curious about improving their cognitive health. Join us the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, 4-5:30 pm, Desert Oasis/Ocotillo. For more information go to www.apollohealthco.com/alzheimers-reversal/.

The committee will reconvene in September. The AFC pool deck was completed and there are still a few issues to be resolved. The flooring in the gym area and hallway was completed in July. Have a great rest of the summer.

Architectural Inspection Group

Conveyance Coordinator, Jack Mooney, 520-917-8087, scoroval@ciramail.com

Ever wonder what violations are found when a home is being inspected during a listing/escrow inspection? While there are many items Architectural Inspection Group inspectors must look at during the inspection, here are some of the more common violations that they find:

• Items added without SCOV approval such as patio covers, gutters, fountains, firepits or fences.

• Metal fencing or gates that need repainting.

• House needs painting.

• Damage to stucco, trim or moldings.

• Driveway coating in need of repair.

• Paver or concrete work is uneven, cracked, or poses a tripping hazard.

• Plants overhanging property lines, overgrown bushes near driveways, hedges over six feet tall and plant debris.

• And the most common, bare soil areas without plants or ground cover.

Now would be a good time to review these items. If you have any questions about these or other violations, contact the conveyance coordinator at 520-917-8087 for more information.

Architectural Review

Jim Cherry 612-805-5637 ARC@suncityorovalley.com

Zoom meetings Second and Fourth Tue., 2 pm

Monsoon season is upon us. As desert dwellers, we spend a lot of time thinking about water. A great many gutters and downspouts have been added or replaced on homes over the past year. Here is a quick fact: for every 1,000 square feet of roof, a one-inch rain storm will generate 600 gallons of water.

Please take a few minutes and inspect your property. Water flows in your yard should be directed to your side yards and then flow forward towards the street. A street-facing side yard can have water flowing that direction as well. It must not be flowing into your neighbor’s yard, the golf course, or into any of our common areas. If you are unsure of what to do, then call the office. We’ll find someone to come out and take a look.

Code of Conduct Review Board

Chair Marlene Branz, 618-670-1063 cconduct@suncityorovalley.com

The SCOV Code of Conduct (COC) defines civil behavior for residents and their guests. The COC is spelled out on page 5 of the Owners and Resident Handbook. The board is made up of five resident volunteers. If you wish to file a complaint, look for the form in the member section of the website under member services.

The intent of the COC is to maintain mutual respect, honesty, and courtesy amongst fellow residents and anyone who frequents SCOV public spaces. Let's all do our best to make SCOV a civil place to live.

Community Directory

Chair Blythe Campbell 907-717-7546 scov.community.directory@gmail.com www.scovaz.com/members/services/directory

If you buy a house in SCOV, you are unlisted in the online and print directories by default. The information we get about house sales only includes sellers’ and buyers’ names. That’s not enough information to create directory listings. Check your new owner emails from SCOV for information about how to list your information in the directories. You can choose which information you want to list in either the secure online directory (requires login on the SCOV website) or the paper directory. The link to update your listing is on the SCOV Member Services pages.

When you buy a second house in SCOV, we can’t transfer your listing information because we don’t know which house you intend to live in. Your new house is unlisted by default as above, and the listing you have for the old address stays in the directory until you update the listing for that house or sell it.

Consumer Referral - Vendor List

Susanna Moran scovconsumerservices@gmail.com

The Vendor List is on the SCOV website. After logging in, go to Members > Member Services > Consumer Referral Vendor List.

The Vendor List is currently available for viewing at the monitor’s desk at Catalina Vista. Check the Vendor List often, as changes are made frequently.

Vendors should email Susanna Moran to inquire about applying to be on the Vendor List.

“A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.” – Andrew Carnegie

Welcome to the many new families who have recently moved to SCOV. You will find our Library full of good books and movies to check out. Stop in with your Association card to get entered into the Library system. We hope you'll consider joining The Friends of the Library (FOL) at that time.

Memberships and donations go towards purchasing books and movies. Your HOA fees do not go toward keeping our Library full of these wonderful items, so your financial support is greatly appreciated. FOL also supplies the Library with the monthly publication BookPage, given out to you for free. First come, first served.

As always, please join us every month for Book Bingo. See Coming Events on page 11 for more details.

L-r: Pat Norton, Bill Norton, Karen Curry

August featured artists are Pat Norton, Bill Norton and Karen Curry. Pat uses her knitting loom to supply baby cocoons, hats, booty sets and ruffle scarves. She enjoys meeting people and selling at the Gift Shop. For every cocoon set she sells, she donates another to the Seniors for Kids.

Bill received his degree in industrial arts and was a shop teacher at junior high through junior college levels. He enjoys wood turning and free form carving, working the equipment until his mind, heart and hands are happy with what he sees. His goal is to never have two projects look the same.

Karen’s creativity began when her grandmother and mother taught her sewing, crocheting, embroidery, quilting and more. In 2015, she added woodworking at SCOV. She uses hard woods and exotic lumber, making toys, wine holders, scroll work, jewelry boxes. The list grows as she learns new techniques.

If you are missing the monthly Monday Madness Sales, visit the Gift Shop for our ongoing Summer Madness Sale with huge bargains on glass, jewelry, wood, pottery, cards, fabrics and much more. A great way to shop and support your local artists.

First Wed., 9 am, Catalina Vista www.suncityorovalley.com/members/committees/neighborhood-pride

It’s Been a Hot Summer

It’s been really hot, but the rains eventually came, along with wind. We thank those in our community who keep an eye out for their neighbors and report any damage to Administration. With so many of our neighbors away at this time of the year, we need to be especially aware of our surroundings.

During our monsoon season, pesky weeds seem to appear overnight. Remove them as soon as possible and try to make every effort to stay ahead of the weeds in your yard for the next few weeks.

Is there standing water in your yard? It’s important to drain ponds and/or fountains in yards to eliminate standing water where mosquitoes can breed. Other items such as buckets, empty flowerpots and other containers can also collect rain, so be sure they are not holding standing water.

Remember to prune or trim shrubs or bushes that obstruct the sight lines of a person exiting a driveway. They need to be pruned to a height of 42 inches or less to allow a safe exit.

Thank you for continuing to take pride in your property and our community even in our extremely hot summer months. We appreciate your help in keeping SCOV beautiful.

Our fiscal year began in July, so now is the time to renew or purchase a membership. We look forward to you joining us for the 2023-2024 season. If this is your first time purchasing an annual membership, visit the Pro Shop or call for more information. To renew an annual membership, you can contact the Pro Shop to charge it to your credit card on file or go online to purchase at www.theviewsgolfclub.com.

Golf clinics continue every Wednesday from 8-9 am, $20/ session. Sign up in the Pro Shop to reserve your spot.

As a reminder, hydration is extremely important during the summer heat. Let’s be prepared for thunderstorms, possible flash floods and lightning. It’s official monsoon season in Southern Arizona, so we must be careful.

Follow these suggestions to keep yourself safe while heading out on the course during monsoon season. Check the forecast and check it often. Download a reliable radar app and seek shelter immediately if you cannot get off the golf course quickly. Don’t worry if you can’t finish your round; we will give you a rain check to complete your round at another time. The important thing is to be safe and use your best judgment when the weather is questionable. Get in touch with the Pro Shop for further information by calling 520-825-3110.

Director of Golf Maintenance - Michael

Kropf scvgolf@suncityorovalley.com

520-917-8063

During the months of June and July a lot of effort was put into the golf course to promote growth of Bermuda grass in fairways, tees and greens. The maintenance staff aerified, topdressed and verticut all these areas. The benefits will be realized during August and September. The monsoons bring higher humidity and occasional rain that really encourages rapid Bermuda grass growth. The irrigation water is also reduced, which will improve the playing conditions. All of the frustrations from the course being thin with some wet areas in June will be reduced, and the golf course will be in much better condition for the rest of the summer.

One disadvantage of the increased humidity and rain during the monsoons is that the Bermuda grass in the roughs, fairways and greens will begin to grow faster than it can be mowed. This results in an increase of grass clippings that leave piles everywhere. Also, the grass starts scalping which causes the turf to turn a yellow color because it is getting mowed too low on the plant. To slow this surge of growth a plant growth regulator will be sprayed, as well as increased amounts of verticutting and raising mowing heights on all the mowers. This will help reduce the grass clipping piles and prevent the grass from being scalped and going off-color.

Verticutting the fairways also helps thin the canopy for overseeding. This speeds up the prepping process so seed can be spread sooner, leading to quicker germination.

The comments received in the club survey were positive and constructive. The consensus was that we play for a social as well as competitive experience. Members cited the club as an excellent format to meet new people, play different formats, and play with golfers not in their usual groups. Preferences for games were evenly split between 4-man scrambles, 4-man team events and individual play. We will schedule these events equally in the upcoming season. Thanks to all who participated in the survey.

Upcoming events:

Play Thu. morning

The summer schedule is winding down but there are two more regular league days, Thursdays, August 3 and September 7, and five more skins games before the course closes for overseeding on September 18. The fun part about the skins games is that, as a participant, you are only playing against yourself. If you have a bad hole, it does not impact your team.

Congratulations to the following skins winners on June 29 Byron Hays, Ken Schroeder, Bob Newman, Drake Robles, Ed Hurlbut, Bob Schoepflin and Warren Conttrell. Well done, guys.

The course closes for overseeding from September 18 to October 9. The league will then pick up the new season calendar for 2023-2024. Come on and join the league, and remember, “Half the time, twice the fun."

League play Tue. morning

Last fall our league was contacted by Director of Golf, Rick Price, and Director of Golf Maintenance, Mike Kropf, to form a voluntary group of golfers to repair divots on the tee boxes of holes three and seven. The Women’s 9-Hole Club takes care of the par threes on the back 9. The 18-Hole Men’s Club takes care of most all of the fairways and other tee boxes. We agreed to help out as well.

League member, Debbie Huffman, led a group of 10 league members to repair divots weekly throughout the season on holes three and seven. The volunteers were Leslie Chase, Joann Breslin, Barbara Hall, Mary Ann Diridon, Claudia Svarstad, Beckie Harkey, Yvette Schultz, Tana Wyrick, Marty Blakely and Pattie Shock.
