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 and in the SCOV Library. Board meetings are open to residents.

Decision Making and Governance in SCOV

by Richard Babin One of the enduring questions concerning governance has to do with the nature of democratic decision making – representative or direct.

A representative democracy is one in which representatives, elected by the people, make decisions. There are many examples: US Congress, state legislatures, and the SCOV Board of Directors.

In a direct democracy the people make the decisions, i.e., they decide issues by voting on them. Perhaps the best known example of direct democracy is the New England town meeting, what one observer has called “a legislature of citizens, for citizens, and by citizens.” Other examples include referendum and initiative options. The recent petition effort in Oro Valley to allow residents to vote on the town’s El Conquistador Country Club acquisition is a good one, even though the effort failed on a technicality. If it had been successful, Oro Valley voters, not the Town Council, would have decided whether to acquire the property.

Governance in SCOV also contains elements of direct democracy. For example: changes to the Association’s Bylaws must be approved by 2/3 of those voting and changes can be proposed by a petition from 10% of the voting units. Changes can also be proposed by the Board. Other examples include the recent vote by Association members to change our official name, the vote to allow the Board to consider entering into a long-term contract for solar energy and the majority approval requirement for the purchase of capital items where the cost exceeds 5% of prior year gross revenues.

Curiously, the Bylaws do not require member approval of renovation projects where the cost exceeds a certain threshold, as is true for the purchase of capital items. In fact, in February the Board rejected a proposal to allow members to vote on a Bylaw change that would have established a threshold for renovation projects above which member approval would be required. I plan to revisit this issue in a different context with the hope of being able to provide another opportunity for direct democracy. Please contact me if you have thoughts on this issue you would like to share.

Sun City Oro Valley Tipster, June 2015

The New Pro Shop

There has been considerable information disseminated about the new Pro Shop. Most of the information included in this article has been made available to you in one form or another over past months.

In no special order, let’s start with the situation that moving the Pro Shop will provide very desirable space for expansion of the Café and the lounge or gathering place. This new area, with a full-service bar, will create several new opportunities, such as quicker service for tennis players, pickleball players, golfers, etc., provide additional space for daily meals, enable more banquets to be held in the restaurant, plus there will be a larger area for entertainment and socializing.

The configuration of the new Pro Shop offers several advantages over the existing facility. First, unlike the current Pro Shop where dozens of golfers typically crowd into one small space in front of the counter, the new floor plan encourages flow-through traffic. The vast majority of merchandise will be easily seen, yet out of the way of golfers needing service at the counter. The entry/exit doors and counter will be visible from the Pro’s office. Plus, there will be better storage for merchandise.

The location will also be a major benefit, as the Pro Shop will be easily seen when driving into the parking lot. Many visiting/public golfers, who generate considerable revenue for The Views will find the Pro Shop easily. Simply put, the new location will provide an excellent and very inviting window to the golf course that will improve the overall golf experience and is anticipated to result in increased revenue.

Last, but not least, the new Pro Shop and the new lounge/ gathering place, that is made possible by the construction of the new Pro Shop, will provide added amenities for your enjoyment and will be one more feature of SCOV that will attract future residents.

Stay Active Playing Pickleball

SCOV Club enjoys the game, each other and three new courts

by Susan Ferguson

At the beginning, I just wanted to get a little exercise and meet explains, “We’re a very informal club, no tournaments. The club some other active SCOV residents. That was two years ago this doesn’t keep a record of scores. It’s as much a social activity as spring.

Club members always figuring that I would do more near home in the future. are very inclusive, too, and help each other improve.

With a long summer ahead of me in 2013, I decided to become more connected here at SCOV. I looked into pickleball because I had some friends who played. The sport was active, didn’t take too much time and looked like a lot of fun.

Before I had my free lesson, I learned that pickleball is a paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. It combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It’s played using a paddle and plastic ball on a badminton-sized court with a slightly-modified tennis net. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but it can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.

A Game for Everyone The SCOV Pickleball club started in 2009 with around 120 members and two courts. According to current (l to r) Steve Averdes and Roy McGechaen pair off against John Moore and John O’Hagan on the new president, Dan Gartner, the club has pickleball courts.

Are you planning any improvements or changes to the exterior of your home? Whether it will be adding or enhancing walls or fences, replacing windows or doors, painting, coating driveways, large landscaping projects or any number of other projects, homeowners need to bring a submittal to the ARC for approval. The ARC then makes sure the project is in compliance with the Development Standards and the CC&Rs. If a homeowner’s project is not in compliance, it is the duty of the ARC to see if any adjustment can be made that will satisfy the homeowner’s desire and still comply with the governing documents.

To get a submittal for a project see Katy Mosier, Community Services Coordinator, in the Welcome Center or you can get it online under governing documents. Katy’s office hours are from 9-11 AM. Consumer Referral

Julie’s trademark is her pendant dragonfly which dons the necks of many SCOV residents. You may see a whole array of other shapes and sizes of her pendants, earrings and broaches; butterflies, fish, cactus, geckos, peacocks and free-form patterns abound.

Julie particularly likes to use dichroic glass. This glass almost takes on a gem-like shimmering quality.

Dichroic glass contains multiple micro-layers of metal oxides which give the glass optical properties, reflecting light and color in different directions.

Julie also makes greeting cards from Chinese brush paintings her mother painted. “I’ve got these wonderful paintings hanging all over the walls in my home, I thought it might be nice to share these images with others by turning them into greeting cards.”

Check into the Gift Shop to see how to become a volunteer or consignor. Or just stop by for a cool break and browse among all the beautiful items there.

Chair Jim Mitchell, 818-2893, jtmitch45@gmail.com Fourth Thursday, 3 PM, WC1

The Marketing Committee’s three sub-committees (Café, Golf and HOA) worked with staff to develop goals and strategies for the 2015-2016 marketing plan. At our last meeting, members passed a new goal to develop and maintain a strong culture of trust, respect and credibility and provide multiple opportunities for residents to express themselves constructively, to easily get factual and timely information regarding SCOV affairs and have their questions answered.

We thank three members of our committee whose terms have expired after three years of dedicated service: Barbara McNeill, Harry Patterson and Christine Takerian. We welcome three new members: Roger Angeloni, Cherry Sand and John Sand for their willingness to serve.

Neighborhood Pride

Chair Tempe Johnson 825-6994 Third Tuesday, 2 PM, WC3

At a recent training session of the NPC, members reviewed summertime reminders to all homeowners in SCOV. •Artifacts, including empty pots, are not allowed in front yards. Pots should be planted with live plants, as artificial ones are not allowed.

•Cactus and/or bushes in your yard should not extend over the sidewalk as to be a danger to walkers.

•Weeds in cracks of driveways, sidewalks, and where the cement meets the asphalt of the street are the responsi bility of the homeowner to remove.

•Trees must be kept trimmed up high enough over the sidewalk as not to injure walkers or block visibility of a stop sign.

•Exposed soil, or bare dirt, on your property needs to be covered by rock.

•For safety reasons, trim any vegetation blocking numbers on your house, and be sure the numbers are lit and vis ible from the street, day and night.

Neighborhood Pride thanks you for heeding the above reminders and hopes you have a wonderful summer.

Posse

Chair Bob Hefner, 825-4825, rjh1458@gmail.com First Tuesday, 3 PM, Catalina Vista scovaz.com/committees/posse/

Posse members provide many valuable services to SCOV residents. The most common of these is to notify home owners when their garage doors are open at night. Additionally, the Posse keeps an eye out for any suspicious or unusual activity, in which case they call 911 and an officer arrives typi-

cally in less than four minutes. Recently, a Posse team noticed a gentleman sitting in a chair in his garage with the door open and the light on. When they tried to call him on the home phone they were unable to get an answer. They called 911 and the responding officer discovered the gentleman was deceased. While this was a tragic event and upsetting to the Posse team, it would have been even more tragic had the Posse not been patrolling and the body not discovered until much later. My thanks go out to all our Posse members who provide such a valuable service to our community.

Important Annual Mailing Details

The annual mailing has gone out. Included in this year’s mailing is a letter from our General Manager, an Annual Budget Summary & Report, Dues Payments Options ($1,620 same as last year), golf information and an Age Verification Survey. If you haven’t received anything yet, please contact the Administration Office at 520-825-3711 and let them know. We’ll make sure you get another set of the items.

Regarding the Age Verification Survey, it is very important that this document be completed and returned to the Administration Office. As an age-restricted community we are exempt from requirements within the Fair Housing Act. Because of this we are required by the HOPA (Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995) to complete an age survey every two years to document that 80% of the occupied lots in SCOV have at least one individual residing in that lot who is age 55 or older. Now our CC&Rs (Article 4.2.a) tightens the requirement even more by requiring 85% of the homes to be occupied by a least one individual age 55 or over. To document the age of the occupants HOPA allows for a signed Survey & Affidavit of Occupancy to be completed. This is the document you received in the annual mailing. This form is also completed by every new homeowner. So, please take a moment, fill out the form and return it to the office in the envelope provided.

Also please mail your dues in the envelope provided with your payment coupon. It is digitally enetered into our system this way. Thank you.

Home Away From Home

When we have guests in our homes we would hope that our guests are tidy. We would not want them spilling coffee all over our carpets, tracking in dirt or crunching cookies into carpets or floor. I also believe that you would not do such things in other people’s homes. When you are in one of the Association buildings I hope you treat it the same as you treat your home. We agree that an accident will occur once in a while. When food/cookie are left on the floor and drinks spilled on the carpet, it is costly as the cleaning company must steam the carpets and scrub floors more often. We ask that you be careful and look around your area when leaving a facility. Please treat facilities in the same way you would treat your home. Let’s all do our part in keeping our facilities clean and tidy.

for our community.

New items this month include Still Alice and American Sniper in video, The Bone Tree by Greg Iles, and A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson in fiction, and Endangered by C.J. Box in large print.

Friends of the Library It has been an exciting year for FOL (Friends of the Library). Thanks to the generosity of our patrons, our membership drive and fundraisers, we have raised enough funds to not only continue to support the purchase of newly released books and movies, but also to bring our library into the computer age. Monies raised by FOL, in combination with generous financial support from ILR (Institute for Learning in Retirement), will allow the library to computerize its circulation this summer.

One of the many benefits of computerizing will be the capability of allowing you to search our database and place materials on reserve from home.

Please remember that you may join or renew your FOL membership at any time during the year. Donations at this time are especially appreciated as we work toward our goal to computerize the library.

Greetings

Come by The Café this summer and get out of the heat. We have a great selection of local taps, Arizona wines and a full bar to quench your thirst. There’s nothing quite like a Tanqueray Gin Cooler on a hot day. Don’t forget we also have some great light fare on the afternoon menu served from 3-5 PM including our Pulled Pork Slider with Apple Slaw or our house made Hummus with Pita Points and Fresh Vegetables. Hope to see you here soon.

The Café is offering you a chance to win a free breakfast or lunch if you turn in a comment card. Monthly comment cards are randomly drawn for the free meal. The April winners are Pat Pennell, Pat Winder, Ruth Hofstetter, Mona Connoy and Nancy Bennett. Congratulations and bon appétit.

Recreation and Fitness - Lonnie Davis

Walking Posture

If you are hunching your shoulders and looking down while walking, you are reinforcing very bad walking posture habits. Good walking posture is with the head up and eyes forward. This bad posture can lead to low back pain, neck and shoulder pain and doesn’t allow you to take full, complete breaths. It also reinforces the bad sitting posture many of us have from hours in front of the computer. Your time walking should be spent building good posture habits, not contributing to the damage you already do to yourself the rest of the day. Every few minutes throughout your workout, give your shoulders a backwards roll to check that you aren’t hunching them.

Association-Sponsored Fitness Classes

Purchase a fitness punch card at the Welcome Center/Administration Office, $20/10 classes or purchase an Annual Fitness Class Pass on sale now for $300. You may use these cards for all SCOV-sponsored fitness classes. The punch cards can also be used for your guests. There is a $3 drop-in charge if you do not have a punch card or annual card.

Special Note from the AFC

There will be an orientation on how to use the gym equipment every Thursday, 1 PM. Stop in and sign up, or call 917-8073. Contact AFC Coordinator, Lonnie Davis, for any questions or problems with the AFC, 917-8073 or ldavis@suncityorovalley.com.

Golf

Head Golf Professional - Kim Griggs

theviewsgolfclub.com The new fiscal year starts next month. We are now selling passes. Stop by the Welcome Center and see Lisa or Terri to get your pass.

There are several different options available.

Stop by the Pro Shop for your rate cards. This information is also available on our website.

For those of you who enjoy walking and riding the course, please check the times on the signs as we begin earlier throughout the summer and we certainly do not want any conflicts with the golfing traffic. Tuesday’s walking times have changed as we have a 7:30 AM start instead of 11:30 AM.

Sun City Oro Valley Tipster, June 2015

Superintendent - Michael Kropf The summer months are when most of the activity around the golf course really slows down. The golf groups have ended their seasons, and the seasonal residents have gone home until next winter. However, summer is when the golf course maintenance department is the busiest. Big projects are done, wash repairs are performed, the overseeded grasses are removed and the summer grasses are re-established.

The project list on the golf course this summer is as busy as usual. The first project is always to re-grass the fairways following removal of the winter rye grass. This involves applications of chemicals to kill the rye, followed by aerification and topdressing, followed by another chemical to remove the last remaining rye grass and eventually sprigging areas that ended up being bare.

The next project is removal of irrigation and grass from the area that used to be where the upper practice green was located. The area is going to be converted to golf cart parking when the new Pro Shop is constructed. The grass and irrigation will be recycled around the golf course in areas that need it.

Another project is the completion of the green tees construction. Last summer green tees on #5, 6 and 10 were built, and this year the tees on #4, 11 and 14 will be constructed. During this time the wash on #5 will get reshaped to improve water flow during the monsoons in July.

The last project will be the grass traps on #4 between the fairways which are going to be reshaped to improve pace of play through the hole.

Golf Advisory

Chair Janet Kimble 825-3172 First Wednesday, 2 PM, WC3

Let’s give Tim Kelley a big welcome as the new Golf Advisory Chair for the 2015-2016 season.

Mike is already in the process of preparing the golf course for summer play by plugging the greens and fairways. This process will continue through the month of July. The new green tee-off boxes on the back nine will be under construction this summer and ready to play this fall after over-seeding. The bids are in for the new Pro Shop and construction should start sometime in June or July. The Views Pro Shop should be nearing completion when you return after overseeding in the fall. Please be aware of your pace of play at all times and help your fellow golfers within your group. How lucky we are to play such a beautiful golf course that is managed and maintained so well. A big thank you goes out to Mike Kropf and Kim Griggs, plus all their staff.

Sun City Vistoso Foundation

The Sun City Vistoso Community Foundation a separate and independent organization from the association established in 1998, provides a means through which tax-deductible gifts may be channeled to support qualified health, cultural, educational and charitable needs of SCOV and surrounding areas.

Gifts may be made at any time by check, stocks or gifts-in-kind to the foundation 1565 E. Rancho Vistoso Blvd., Oro Valley, AZ 85755 President: Gay Russell 825-5763 scovaz.com/clubs/foundation Shred-It Day: The Foundation used a new company this year to ensure better security for your documents. Some changes need to be noted for next year. There were some delays but there are valid reasons for those delays. Also, as stated before, no walk-ups. This is a policy of the shredding company. With so many cars, the danger of walk-up customers being struck by a car is greatly increased. Also, some of the delays were caused because (for security reasons) no documents are allowed on the ground. All documents need to be placed either in the truck and/or company containers by company employees. Only company employees are allowed to handle documents; therefore only one line is allowed in the truck area. This is for increased security. Plastic bags had to be emptied by company employees.

So, for next year, the following rules will be published to help speed the process: 1. All documents should be in either paper bags or boxes.

No plastic containers.

2. Traffic will only enter from Silverton. SCOV identification will be required.

3. No walk-ups. This is company policy and for security reasons.

The hours will be increased from 8:30-11 AM. All those in line by 11 AM will be serviced. Better security helps to protect you from identity theft.

We had a great start to our summer hours. We kicked off the evening games with a barbeque and grilled some hot dogs and hamburgers. We all just had a great time.

We hope to do this often through the summer. We have designated the last Friday of the month to start early with a happy hour and maybe a few more barbeques. We have gotten a lot more interest from people just passing by or playing miniature golf, the location of our new courts is just perfect. We hope to see some of these new friends coming out to give us a try. We promise a good time and a very pleasant way to spend a summer evening.

SCOV Book Club Jane Fairchild 520-909-5069 janemail11@yahoo.com First Monday, 1:30 PM, Catalina Vista/Pusch Ridge

At our June meeting we will discuss The Language of Flowers

by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. The Victorian language of flowers was used to express emotions: honeysuckle for devotion, azaleas for passion and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it has been more useful in communicating feelings like grief, mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster care system, she is unable to get close to anybody and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings.

At our July meeting we will discuss Euphoria by Lily King.

Euphoria is Lily King’s nationally bestselling breakout novel of three young, gifted anthropologists of the 30s caught in a passionate love triangle that threatens their bonds, their careers and, ultimately, their lives.

Pres. Joan Kelley 734-255-9644 September-May First Thursday, 1 PM, Artisan Center/Pottery As summer begins, the Clay Club becomes a haven from the heat of the day. Fewer busy bees make for quieter times and members who may have come infrequently during the high season return to enjoy their work in less hectic fashion. The past season saw much work being accomplished by volunteer teams charged with doing the work that makes the club run. Many thanks for this selfless work for us all.

We have a clean, organized studio with knowledgeable members who share their skills with enthusiastic newcomers. Artistic freedom abounds and one may even catch a sorry rendition of old Beatles’ songs on just the right day. Orientations will continue to be arranged for interested residents throughout the summer, while those of us who retreat to cooler climates will miss our friends and the camaraderie of the mudders we leave behind. Have a great summer and keep up Happy Hour.

Pilates

Mary Ayers, 638-7916, scov.pilates@gmail.com Monday, 3 PM, Thursday, 1:30 PM, AFC/Studio

Forty years after his death, the Joseph Pilates system of exercises has never been in such high demand. Fortunately, Sun City offers his mat Pilates classes here twice per week.

Now that summer is here, our classes are smaller and more personal. We start out with specific balancing exercises using the dance bar. The most strenuous of the mat routines are modified for those of us with limitations. Many people ask “can the benefits of the Pilates method, which come from the strengthening and stretching exercises we do, really develop the body’s core (our abdomen and back muscles), increase spine mobility and build flexibility?” We all agree that these are the definite benefits achieved by the senior men and women in our classes and can’t be beat. Also, don’t forget about improved balance, muscle tone, stamina and wellbeing. The cost is only $8 per class and annual club dues are $20 pp. Please join us or just stop by and watch. Call Mary Ayers.

New SCOV Name Tags

New name tags using our new logo are available for $8 each.

Poets Corner

Esther Berlot 818-6463, lberlot@q.com Monday, 9:30-11:30 AM, Desert Oasis/Saguaro

In a poem that is entitled or just begins with “Midnight, and people I love are dying,” Robin Chapman pits what she seems to deem the cold, incomprehensibility of scientific explanations against the passionate, desperation of the impending loss of a loved-one. “It makes no sense to me that gravity should exist, what I know about is love: that flaring up of caring connection that lasts life-long and does not depend on distance…” “Where do they go?” she asks “Those we love?” and ends with “It makes no sense to me that the light of their countenances…should wink out and light, that constant of the universe, speed on in nothingness, undeterred by loss.” Most of us readily relate to late-night sleeplessness and seemingly unanswerable questions.

Poets Corner will be moving to Desert Oasis for the summer.

All resident poets are welcome.

Thirty-two residents, including cast and crew, participated in this hilarious comparison of TV programs and commercials from the 50s and the present day.

We welcome anyone with theatre interests to please contact us for more information. Come play with us.

Normally, this time of year you can plan an outdoor event and the day would be sunny and warm. Our little get-together, after our Sunday water volleyball games, turned out to be the coldest and cloudiest day in late April. Not enough hearty souls came to play, but we did meet later to sit in the sun, that finally came out, around the pool deck. Snow on the Catalinas, who would have thought? We shared appetizers and good conversation and wished our seasonal residents members a safe and happy summer. We continue our games, both water volleyball and wallyball, throughout the summer.

Catalina-Oro Valley Lions Club

The club was very busy in April, logging over 135 hours of community service work. Lions worked to provide necessities for homeless and needy veterans, volunteered at the Golden Goose, donated 74 pounds of food to Impact Food Bank, collected over 100 eye glasses for recycling and raised funds for Special Olympics and the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind. Needs won’t slow down for the summer. To get involved, call Lou Phillippi 520-638-6957.

Watch SCOV bulletin boards, the Tipster and your emails for details to follow.

All SCOV residents are invited to join. Get on the email list for program updates at krisandearl@msn.com. Call Kris Cohen at 818-2582 for more information.

I highly recommend to anyone and everyone who wants to work with a true professional, who is caring, dedicated, and knowledgeable in the home-buying process to work with Wilda Sobansky.

Wilda went above and beyond of what I ever expected in a Realtor. She was always available to answer my questions and to show homes in short notice despite of my crazy work schedule.

The communication process was seamless. Wilda was always available to answer any and all of my questions without dismay or hesitation. Wilda managed to capture what I wanted based some of the criteria I set and also on homes we went to see. This enabled her to get a better picture of what I liked, resulting in the purchase of my home. She worked very hard to get me what I wanted.

Wilda was a real pleasure to work with. She is a hardworking lady with a dynamite personality to match. Long Realty is very fortunate to have her on board. She is a true asset!
