General Manager - Bob Mariani

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.

Board Of Directors - Article

Steve Taillie tailliesteve.scov@gmail.com Are You Willing to be of Service to SCOV?

by Steve Taillie

It is fall and it is time to seek candidates for the 2016-2019 Board of Directors. Robin Coulter just sent out an email looking for candidates. It is a way for you to serve SCOV and be part of the decision-making process. It also keeps one well informed of what is going on in SCOV. This is my second three-year term on the Board. A number of former Directors have also served more than one term. We are always looking for new blood to make that commitment. With all of the residents that live in SCOV it is sad that there are only a few that are willing to serve.

The General Manager sees to the daily operation, prepares the operating budget and is supervisor for the various department managers. He reports to the Board of Directors, and it is the Board that approves the budget.

If one does not want to make a three-year commitment to serve on the Board of Directors, the various committees (Property, Long Range Planning, Marketing, etc.) are always looking for new members. These are one-year terms with an optional one-year extension.

My only wish is after you read this a few of you would be willing to serve SCOV.

Coffee and Conversation

with the General Manager and a Board Member An informal exchange of information.

bmariani@suncityorovalley.com 917-8080 Considering Board Candidacy

According to what I have learned from the CAI (Community Association Institute) and the CMIA (Community Managers International Association), it is best to have certain attributes or qualifications to be an effective Board member. Although none of these ideas are originally mine, I agree with most if not all of these CAI and/ or CMIA positions.

Work well with others: Unlike so many situations that we face where we can make decisions on our own without consulting others, Board decisions are made by seven individuals in the case of SCOV, often with diverse opinions.

Therefore, working with a group such as this requires a willingness to discuss, sometimes compromise and occasionally agree to disagree then move on to the next issue.

Communications: Although effective discussion is important, careful listening is the most important aspect of communications for an effective Board member. It’s essential to hear/listen to and know the facts plus gather well-balanced input on all subject matter at hand.

Objectivity: It’s very difficult to be objective when making decisions about one’s castle and community. Often subjectivity easily enters into the fold, yet making an effort to remain at arms-length so that an objective viewpoint may be established can greatly assist in making beneficial decisions for the community.

Decorum: Board issues can often become emotional and/or divisive. From personal experience, I can attest that it can be very difficult to remain calm and respectful. However, it is important to maintain a reasonably high degree of decorum especially during Board meetings in an effort to have effective meetings and maintain a congenial community.

Willingness to serve: The most important qualification in my estimation is the willingness to serve the community as a whole. The opposite end of the spectrum is to have an agenda of one or two pet issues as a basis for Board candidacy.

Although the attributes or qualifications above aren’t all inclusive, they serve as a sound basis for Board candidacy. If you fit that bill, SCOV would benefit from your willingness to serve on the Board of Directors.

Neighborhood Pride

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

This month’s featured artists are Roland and Elaine Deeter.

Elaine began creating greeting cards a few years ago for her personal use. “Then I decided to start making cards to sell in our Gift Shop. It is a wonderful way to contribute to our community and meet new people. I enjoy seeing people appreciate my work and hearing how their friends and family are happy to receive a handmade item.”

After building two homes, Roland switched to smaller projects. Beginning with end-grain cutting boards, he moved on to items made from exotic and local woods. He makes pens, flashlights, and other items from both wood and acrylic materials. He is always looking for woods with color and movement to help tell his creative stories.

Loan Room - Community Assistance

Sun City Oro Valley Tipster, November 2015

Not often enough do we say thank you to the people around us. Perhaps, as homeowners, we should say an occasional thank you to our neighbor who borders our personal property. If, when he has his own yard cleaned up by a landscaper, he includes part of yours which may have a problem caused by his foliage, it just might deserve a thank you.

Neighborhood Pride issues sincere thanks to all homeowners who: • keep trees trimmed so stop signs are visible • keep trees trimmed up high off sidewalks • keep plants trimmed back off sidewalks • keep their yards weed-free, neat and tidy • make sure all lights are burning in house number plates Thanksgiving is a good time to sincerely thank all homeowners who take pride in their own personal property and work diligently to keep our entire community a beautiful place in which to live.

Chair Ed Zwerling 631-741-9934 edscov@yahoo.com Meets Third Thursday, 9 AM, WC1

This month the Properties Committee will be undertaking many tasks affecting SCOV. We will be conducting an inspection of all HOA-owned facilities to help determine the need for current and future repairs. We will also be hosting a community forum to update everyone on the Solar Generation Feasibility Study. Soon after the forum, the committee will decide what recommendations will be made to the BOD. As soon as vendor selection is completed, additional information will be posted on our website. Properties will also be undertaking many new tasks including helping determine HOA liability on common (party) walls shared with residents, parking lot lighting and other energy saving initiatives. We are looking for new members to help with these tasks or residents who have some expertise who only want to help on specific projects.

Garage Doors

If you have a new garage door, remember it must be painted either the main body color or one of the trim colors of your house.

When we live in such a wonderful community and have such great weather, we should be giving thanks every day and not just one day in November. But holidays always bring to mind our families and friends. I go back to Illinois to cook Thanksgiving dinner for my family and enjoy every minute I spend with all of them. Some of us have made our SCOV friends our families since such great friendships are formed here. Whatever the case, enjoy. Always remember to be thankful for what you have and not for what you want in life.

Aerobic conditioning improves the health of your heart and lungs. It also helps to manage your weight. With aerobic exercise, you move continuously to increase your heart rate and keep it elevated for a sustained period of time. How long you can exercise aerobically will depend on your fitness level. A general guideline is to work up to 20 to 30 minutes a day, three to four days a week.

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.

November is the time when the golf course has dried out from the overseeding water, and golf carts are once again allowed on the turf. Over the years there has been confusion on the way golfers should drive when leaving the cart paths, so this year we will try a new system to direct traffic.

Golfers are supposed to follow the 90-degree rule by entering the hole from the cart path at a 90-degree angle toward their ball and then return to the cart path at the same trajectory. However, golfers started doing their own 90degree rule by entering the fairway correctly, but when leaving the fairway they would drive down the edge of the rough to their next shot instead of going back to the cart path. This traffic pattern leads to the roughs getting trampled down when the Bermuda grass goes dormant and can’t recover.

This year there will be stakes placed at the beginning and the ending of each hole to designate the entering and exiting points for golf cart traffic. Each day these stakes will be moved so the traffic pattern will be dispersed across a larger area to reduce the traffic wear. Once the golf carts leave the cart path through the gates, they will drive straight to the fairways and then stay in the fairway until they exit the gates on the other end back to the cart path. Hopefully, this will reduce the trampling of the roughs and improve playing conditions during the winter.

csapp@suncityorovalley.com 917-8074 Local Award Winning Celebrity Chef Joins Sun City Oro Valley

Chef Benjamin Hoffman has a love and appreciation for cooking great meals that make people happy. From a very young age, food and family were very important to him. The process of preparing a meal that brought people joy, hooked him. He started cooking professionally at age 16, working his way around local cafés and pizzerias. Chef Ben found that his love of cooking was also a love for the whole

restaurant operation: the guests, the staff, the properties themselves, were becoming a part of his family. He moved on from smaller restaurants in high school to working as Kitchen Manager of O’Malley’s on 4th Avenue. As Kitchen Manager, Benjamin was able to gain knowledge and the ability he was going to need for his next venture.

Excited to see how things worked on the other side of the country, Benjamin moved to the Florida Keys to seek a job as a chef and learn more about his craft. After waiting tables and cooking part-time he had his first break as Head Chef of Cabana Breezes in Key Colony Beach, Marathon, Florida.

His appreciation for fresh sustainable food grew, and there was no turning back.

After a few years he returned to Tucson where he has had the pleasure of working and managing fine establishments such as: North Italian, Fini’s Landing, and most recently the Westward Look Grand Resort and Spa. Benjamin continues to participate in local chef competitions such as Tucson Salsa and Tequila challenge hosted by SACCA where he has taken home three different trophies for his creations. In addition to music, and carpentry, cooking is what Chef Benjamin plans to do until his body will not let him anymore… and maybe even after that.

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 September winners are Laurie Shull, Eleanor Lumish, Wally Otterson, Janet Szumlas and Mary Elizabeth Lee. Congratulations and bon appétit.

Fine Arts Studio Pres. Mellanie Herbert 825-2258 Wednesday, 9 AM, Catalina Vista/Art Studio

Our seasonal resident artists have returned to the comfortable, sociable, creative confines of our studio, and conversations abound regarding summer projects, both here and at winter studios. Our art show themes are determined this month, and these tend to drive our direction and purpose. However, subject matter chosen, we artists just enjoy painting pieces we enjoy. Art appreciation is at the discretion of the viewer but it must be pleasing to its creator first.

So we paint on, in our merry way, with coffee cups close by and goodies alongside, discussing art happenings in our Southwest and constructively critiquing each others’ works.

We look forward to this morning each week, knowing we’ll paint alongside our friends and fellow artists. If this sounds like an activity you’d enjoy, please stop in on Wednesday mornings and we’ll give you a tour of our passion.

Welcome back artists. November 12 plan to bring a lunch.

We will take a break at 11:30 AM and get to know each other better. Several artists will then stay until 1 or 2 PM. Mark your calendar and join us.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, we will meet only once during the month of November. The November 11 meeting will be an open competition. The judge will be Tucson professional photographer, Jeff Albiniak.

Please join us for an enjoyable and instructive evening.

We break for refreshments and socializing.

Besides holding friendly competitions monthly for all skill levels, we host guest Desert Rose Fan photo by Janie speakers, offer skill-building Johnson-Russell workshops and provide equipment in the Photo Lab when lab monitors are present for members to use Photoshop Elements, print their photos and cut mats.

Winners in the September open competition were Rose Stapfer, Eileen Sevy, Janie Johnson-Russell, Sheryl Hester, Brenda Ericsson, Ken Ayers, Harvey Gardner, Laura Hackenbrock, Pat Mulligan and Bob Jennette.

Pickleball

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

Two years ago we welcomed our two terrific instructors.

Now they are familiar with us and our requirements and their aim is to make each class participant, regardless of exercise level, adept in achieving maximum core strength.

They stress the importance of strong abdominal muscles plus all of the additional core muscles which help stabilize our spine and pelvis. Core muscles run the entire length of your torso. All can be strengthened with simple Pilates exercises. Low impact warm-up exercises include stretching and deep breathing to prepare for the strengthening exercises.

Both instructors will modify the most strenuous exercises for anyone with limitations. Group mat classes can result in benefits that can’t be beat: better balance (less falls), more flexibility (joints move again), more muscle tone, increased energy and well being. Please join us or come watch a class.

Cost is $8/class and annual club dues $20 pp. Call Mary Ayers.

I would have gotten it all wrong thinking: the poor bastard, not a friend in the world and with only a book for a companion….So glad I waited all these decades to record how hot and sour the hot and sour soup is here at Chang’s this afternoon… And my book…is so absorbing.” The poem concludes with a smiling waitress bringing “shredded beef and garlic to my favorite table in the corner.”

Improve your balance, flexibility and strength with Tai Chi. Most of us think of Tai Chi as a way to prevent falls, improve breathing and reduce stress, but it is so much more.

A Harvard Medical School health publication stated that Tai Chi is medication in motion and research by Tufts University School of Medicine credits Tai Chi with decreased pain, improved sleep and mood and better quality of life.

Our instructors, Jose Hernandez-Rivera and Donna Drazenovich, stress the use of Tai Chi in daily life.

Club officers welcome your inquiries for more information.

Sun City Vistoso Tipster, Febraury 2011

Pres. John Njaa 825-5486 Membership Lauren Strassburg 338-2568 Next meeting, November 18 1:30 PM, Desert Oasis/Saguaro scovwoodworkingclub.com

It is fair to say that our members derive lots of joy and satisfaction from what they are able to do in the woodshop. It is also fair to say that woodworking machines are inherently dangerous, and joy and satisfaction can be wiped out in an instant due to inattention, taking chances and a lack of knowledge.

There are some pages in our website that can help out with the knowledge part. A review of the Shop Safety scovwoodworkingclub.com/safety.html and Shop Rules and Procedures scovwoodworkingclub.com/shop-rules-and-procedures.html pages from time-to-time is worthwhile. Also, reviewing the owner’s manuals of the machines you use is a very good idea too. They can be accessed via Our Woodworking Machines page scovwoodworkingclub.com/equipment.html in the website, or a monitor can provide a copy to read in the shop.

Be sure to see page 4 of this issue for an article about the club and woodshop.
