Association News

From the Board of Directors Our mission as the SCOV Board is to lead in maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in Sun City Oro Valley as an active adult community.

All Board minutes, agendas and reports are available online.

Board meetings are open to residents.

Board of Directors - Larry Webster lwebsterbscov@gmail.com

August is here and the dog days of summer are still upon us. Hopefully, the full timers have spent their days wisely getting the errands completed before the blistering sun makes it impossible to touch hot car door handles.

Those who are the season travelers, I wanted to take a moment to check in and see how your summer is progressing.

Have you missed not being here with all the amenities to fill your daily calendar? I bet you are probably tired of the lawn care, house repairs, etc... Hopefully you are getting the itch to bask in the Arizona sun with low humidity and participate in your favorite activities again.

Occasionally, I have to pinch myself to remind me that I am not dreaming about why we chose to live here in SCOV. People genuinely care for one another, they readily volunteer to help one’s neighbors when needed, they do this not because they are someone’s caretaker but because they are compassionate, and truly caring.

Choosing to listen while maintaining a civil dialogue takes minimum effort. One should research facts and not go by hearsay and rumors. Listening to someone who has concerns should not be readily dismissed as coming from a disgruntled and generally unhappy person. Taking a little time getting to know and help your neighbors should be a privilege and not a challenge. Maybe they have had a bad week or feel frustrated when their concerns or questions are not being addressed in what they perceive as a timely manner.

I would like to finish my column expressing my optimism that this community is friendly, supportive and inviting to newcomers and those that are well established here. This community with its location, activities and amenities is a rare find and we should feel so lucky to have found it in this chapter of life.

General Manager - Sandy Seddon sseddon@suncityorovalley.com 520-917-8080

By the time you read this, I will have one month under my belt as your new General Manager. I am thrilled to be here and want to thank everyone for the very warm welcome that I have received. I am excited to embark on this journey with all of you.

I would like to highlight things that are important to me, and I hope to accomplish.

• Enhanced Community Engagement: I will be committed to fostering community spirit and involvement, hopefully strengthening our bonds and enriching our collective experience.

• Operational Excellence: I intend to focus on efficiency and transparency, ensuring that your association operates smoothly and effectively.

• Enhancing Communication: Effective communication is the cornerstone of a well-functioning community.

I will work with the Board, Committees, and staff to keep you informed about upcoming events, important updates and community initiatives. I encourage you to share your thoughts, ideas and concerns with us. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping SCOV’s future.

• Innovative Initiatives: I am new! I hope that I have some innovative approaches and can bring new ideas and initiatives to address current and future challenges facing your community.

I look forward to being an integral part of your community, working closely with the Board of Directors and all residents to ensure that Sun City Oro Valley continues to thrive.

Together, we can build an even stronger and more vibrant community.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege to serve as your General Manager. I look forward to meeting and working with each of you in the days and months ahead.

Understanding Key Documents in Community Associations Community associations rely on key documents to establish governance and set rules.

Here’s a brief overview: Articles of Incorporation:This document, filed with the state, legally creates the Association as a nonprofit corporation. It includes the Association’s name, address, and initial registered agent. It defines the corporation’s purpose, board structure, and membership qualifications.

Master Declaration Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), this legal document outlines the rights and responsibilities of homeowners and the association. It includes property use restrictions, maintenance responsibilities, and enforcement processes.

Tract Declarations:These apply to specific sections within the community and supplement the Master Declaration with additional restrictions or guidelines for those areas.

Bylaws: The operational manual for the association, detailing procedures for meetings, elections, and management. It defines board member roles, meeting procedures, and financial management policies.

Policies: Adopted by the board to provide clarity on specific issues not fully covered in the CC&Rs or Bylaws. They can be updated as needed and ensure consistent enforcement of community standards.

Development Standards:Guidelines for the design, construction, and modification of properties, ensuring a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing environment.

Owner & Resident Handbook: A guide for residents that summarizes key documents, provides information on community amenities, and offers guidance on common concerns and procedures.

Club Rules, Regulations & Procedures:These pertain to the use of community amenities by clubs.

Understanding these documents is crucial for both board members and residents, as they provide the governance framework and help ensure a harmonious living environment.

ARC Reminders Lately, we have had several inquiries about various subjects. Here are some examples: Do I need a submittal if I am replacing my roof underlayment but keeping the old tiles? Yes, this is called a lift & relay and you need to submit an In-House Submittal form. Also ask your vendor for a sample tile that he will use in lieu of breakage. Put it out by the garage and let us know it is there.

Can I put a sail up in my yard? No sails are allowed in residents’ yards. Development Standards Section 2.14.A.2.

Shade Sails are not permitted.

Why do I need a Town of Oro Valley Building Permit if I am replacing all or just some of my windows? This is a Town of Oro Valley policy. If you are replacing three or more windows, you need to contact the Town of Oro Valley to secure the permit. A stipulation of your ARC approval will include sending a copy of the permit to the Architectural Coordinator prior to installation of the windows.

Please keep in mind, if you are making any change to the exterior of your home or lot, it usually requires some sort of ARC or In-House approval. Email Katy scoroval@ciramail. com with any questions about submittals.

Recreation and Fitness - Lonnie Davis ldavis@suncityorovalley.com 520-917-8073 All You Need is You. Cardio Exercise without Equipment You probably already know cardio exercise is good for you. But…you’re busy, you’re tired and there just doesn’t seem to be enough room in your day to work out. We get it! Starting and maintaining an exercise program can seem hard, but it doesn’t have to be. So, what exactly is cardio exercise? Cardio (cardiovascular) exercise, also known as aerobic exercise, refers to physical activity that engages large muscle groups (think legs, glutes and core) and increases your heart rate for an extended period. Cardio exercise is more than running. It includes virtually any type of exercise that elevates your heart rate and forces you to use oxygen to circulate blood flow throughout your body. Cardio exercise is not just good for you, it’s essential to your health. In addition to reducing the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, cardio exercise can also help keep your brain sharp, strengthen your bones, help you sleep better and battle depression. You don’t need to invest in specialized equipment or join a gym to get a fantastic cardio workout. You can get a great workout anytime, anywhere But, you must enjoy what you choose to do. If machines aren’t your thing, you could go for a brisk walk, jog, swim, go on a bike ride around the neighborhood, you could even dance. If you are elevating your heart rate for a sustained amount of time, you are being effective.

Special Note from the AFC: Orientation on how to use the gym equipment is held Thursday, 1 pm so stop in and sign up. Classes are limited.

Contact Lonnie Davis, AFC Coordinator, to discuss questions or problems with the AFC. AFC and Desert Oasis: See Hours of Operation on page 2.

Sun got you lit up? You can shield undesired, direct sunlight at different times of the day by adding roll-down shades to patio covers and over windows. All shades must be submitted for approval to the ARC before installation. Reference the Development Standards sections 2.10 and 2.11 for the requirements and limitations. For instance, all shade colors must match or complement the house colors, and all shades must be secured at the sides or bottom when extended. Exterior roll down patio shade screens are limited to the side or rear of the backyard patio of the house only and will not be permitted on the front of any dwelling.

Finally, a Town of Oro Valley permit may be required for the electrical connection. Please read the Development Standards for all details. As always, you can start your submittal on the SunCityOroValley.com website and communicate with our Architectural Coordinator, Katy Mosier at (520) 917-8058.C

Influenced by her artist mother, Melanie started painting around 5 years old.

When she attended college as an art major, she discovered clay. From the moment she sat at one of the wheels she knew she was hooked. After college, she purchased a wheel and kiln, starting a studio in her home. Most of her pieces sold at art fairs in the 70s and 80s, and she recieved commissions from people for sets of dishes.

Melanie Stinson She took a 20-year hiatus, but knew that when she retired she wanted to pursue clay again.

“Luckily, we found Sun City in 2018. The studio members inspired me to expand my clay to include artistic pieces in addition to functional ware. I can get lost in clay for hours and things sometimes happen without planning. My favorite clay is Hawaiian red. The glazes do well with it and the redness of the clay finishes well with firing.

The summer months are the slowest for Loan Room activity. For those of us who stay around, this is a good time to visit and look at our available equipment. It is also the time when we inventory, repair and decide whether we can meet the needs in SCOV with what we have. We are open 8-9 am, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and will happily help you decide what equipment you might need for upcoming surgery. We also can provide tables and chairs for those indoor parties you might be planning. Reservations are helpful but not as necessary in the summer. Please come see us.

Neighborhood Pride Teresa Deuel Covenants Coordinator 520-917-8087 scoroval@ciramail.com First Wed., Noon, WC3 Summertime Happenings During the monsoon season, the winds accompany the rain. While many neighbors may be away, it’s crucial to stay vigilant and report any damage to the Administration promptly. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for those sneaky weeds that pop up in your yard during this time and remove them quickly.

Do you have standing water in your yard? It is essential to drain any ponds or fountains in your yard to eliminate stagnant water, which can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Additionally, items like buckets, empty flower pots, and other containers can also collect rainwater, so please ensure that they are not holding any standing water.

We appreciate your ongoing commitment to maintaining your property and contributing to the well-being of our community, even during the scorching summer months.

Golfing experience that provides professional and friendly service, mountain views and excellent conditions.

Director of Golf - Rick Price rprice@theviewsgolfclub.com 520-917-8086

On August 5 and 6, we will only have nine holes open as the greens will be are aerified.

Overseeding is right around the corner, and the course is scheduled to be closed from September 16 to October 6. When we reopen on Monday, October 7, it will be cart path only for a couple of weeks.

The Pro Shop will be open for limited hours during overseeding, and the driving range will be open for hitting off mats.

During the inclement weather of the monsoon season, we want to remind you to be safe and use your best judgment while playing golf. To keep safe when heading out on the course during this time: Check the forecast, check it often and download a reliable radar app. If you hear thunder or see lightning, we recommend leaving the course or seeking shelter immediately if you are not able to get off the golf course in a timely manner.

If you have been thinking about improving your game, we invite you to attend one of our weekly clinics on Tuesdays at 8 am covering the full swing and or the short game. For further help take a private lesson with one of our professional staff. Call the Pro Shop at 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 the growth of Bermuda grass in fairways, tees, and greens following the transition from the winter overseed. The maintenance staff aerified, top dressed and verticut all these areas. The benefits will be realized during the months of July, August, and September.

The monsoons bring a higher level of humidity, and occasional rain that really encourage the Bermuda grass to begin growing quickly. The irrigation water is also reduced, which allows the playing conditions to improve. All of the frustrations from the fairways 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 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 leaves piles everywhere. Also, the grass begins to scalp, which causes the turf to go off 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 yellow.

However, the fairways will be in much better condition in August heading into the next overseed in September.

It is not unusual for us to receive requests from non-Woodworking Club members to repair furniture or help with other small woodworking projects. Any SCOV resident who would like such help should go to the woodshop in the Artisan Center and make their request known to the monitor on duty.

There is no guarantee that someone will take it on, since most club members are involved in their own projects and are not willing to set those aside, however, there are some very skilled members who occasionally like to assist residents as a way to stay busy in the shop. The club member doesn’t charge for their work; however, we appreciate a donation to the club treasury of an amount deemed appropriate by the item’s owner. If materials need to be purchased to complete the work, the item’s owner will be expected to pay for them.

There will be a diverse genre of books that get discussed. Quite often, members bring books that they want to loan or just give away. So come join us this month. Meet some new folks, and enjoy hearing about new and interesting books to read. We meet the second Sunday of the month, Desert Oasis/Ocotillo room.

Poets Corner Sharyn Rafieyan 520-825-6762 srafieyan@comcast.net Mon., 10 am-noon, call for location or invitation to Zoom Poets Corner member Jan Fuller uses a surprising metaphor to demonstrate how humans are similar to other living species in this brief, yet beautifully descriptive poem. It’s a theme that bears repeating though we never do seem to learn.

Those Finches They keep flying into their living room window, thinking the bird reflected is a fellow finch, not realizing it’s them.

The pain they feel is the result of doing over and over again the thing that hurts, learning nothing from their pain.

Conscious aging is about the inner work of reorienting ourselves as we turn from our roles we assumed while managing careers and tending families, to turning inward and cultivating a deeper awareness of who we are now. Our goal is to discover Club Officers (left to right): Lauhow to face the known and rie, Marcia, Jill, Phyllis & Renee unknown challenges of aging. With the help of our community, we are pondering the questions: Who am I? What are my values? What do I believe? What matters most to me? This inner work is supported by mindful movement such as qigong, guided meditation, and book study, which draws from psychology, sociology, metaphysics, philosophy, and meditation. Conscious aging is about accepting who we are now. Our meetings consist of a short period of easy mindful movement, followed by guided meditation, and discussion. Please contact Phyllis for information, or email the club.

Staying in Charge as We Age Pres. Joan Partridge 505-920-7005 (text preferred) Joanpartridge@gmail.com Fourth Sun., 2 pm, Activity Center/Hopi For tours and resources: SCOVstayinginCharge.org

On Sunday, August 25, 2 pm, we explore alternatives to expensive, wasteful burial and funeral practices. Too many of us put off this touchy subject.

It’s important to plan ahead and not leave difficult decisions to others after you are gone.

There are many options, including non-commercial ones many people don’t realize are available. We will discuss pros and cons of conventional burials, green burials, cremation and What does Joan’s sister need to know? home-based funerals. Making decisions about our end-of-life care and funerals can seem daunting. Planning ahead ensures your wishes are carried out. Also, all too often, we don’t have our health care wishes for end-of-life care documented or the forms can’t be found when needed. We all need to discuss, document and register our end-of-life and critical care preferences. Also, our senior residence tours have been so popular we are considering continuing them through winter. Email Joan to help organize them.

Are you a Golfer? Twisting on drives, squatting and leaning over to pick up balls? Golf movements are required and repeated. The results can be overused weak muscles and imbalances affecting legs, hips, arms, shoulders, and back.

Over 60? Your game is probably affected with shorter, less accurate drives. Stamina decreases and muscle strains, pulls and tears occur. For years, elite golfers (Tiger Woods and others) have turned to Pilates, an essential training tool to stay balanced and improve performance. Like golf shots, Pilates is based on movement from the body’s center or core (trunk, shoulders, abdomen, pelvis). As you strengthen your core, hip rotation improves your range of motion and back stability. Other results? Powerful, more accurate golf shots and a symmetrically muscled, flexible, strong body. Pilates is a full body exercise with very little joint strain. Call Mary, above, or just come by to watch a class.

However, in Arizona August is best for hummingbirds. Here in SCOV we can find four to six hummingbird species at various times, but Arizona can have as many as 14 species. Only in the Americas, birders come from all over the world to see Arizona hummingbirds. If you can take the heat, the best places are Miller and Ash Canyons in Sierra Vista, although a couple of other Violet-crowned hummingbird, a areas are pretty good too. specialty of patagonia, Arizona.

We are a 120 member, activityCourtesy of Steve Holmes oriented group and all SCOV residents are invited to join us on our field trips to learn about the birds here in Arizona.

“We worked directly with Brenda O’Brien. She was professional, detailed and answered all our concerns in a timely manner. From pricing our home to signing the closing documents, everything went smooth. We have purchased and sold a few homes over the years and this was by far, the best experience we’ve ever had.

We highly recommend Brenda O’Brien and her team.”
