Recreation and Fitness - Lonnie Davis ldavis@suncityorovalley.com 520-917-8073 How Can I Prevent Injuries? To avoid injuring yourself during exercise, don’t try to do too much too soon. Start with an activity that is fairly easy for you, such as walking. Do it for a few minutes a day, several times a day. Slowly increase the amount of time and the intensity of the activity. For example, increase your walking time and speed over several weeks. Start every workout with a warm-up. This will make your muscles and joints more flexible. Spend 5 to 10 minutes doing some light stretching exercises and brisk walking. Do the same thing when you’re done exercising until your heart rate returns to normal. Pay attention to your body. Stop exercising if you feel very out of breath, dizzy, faint, nauseous or if you feel pain. Talk with your family doctor if you have questions or think you have seriously injured yourself.

Architectural Review Kris Ahlstrand 510-693-5502 ARC@suncityorovalley.com Zoom meetings Second and Fourth Tue., 2 PM Fencing has been the most frequently received submittal for the past several months. If you are considering installing a new fence, partial fencing by tying into your neighbor’s, or adding on to the height of your existing two-foot brick wall, there are some things you should consider. The first requirement is to find out where your property line is located. A survey is the most reliable way to know who owns the wall or fence. The property line may be defined by rebar placed on the connecting corners of the property lines, or by a mon-

ument disk about the size of a quarter embedded into the cap of the wall. If this disk sits on your side of the brick cap, you own the property up to the wall, meaning your neighbor owns the wall. If the disk is placed on the other side of the brick cap closest to your neighbor, then you own the wall. If the disk is in the middle of the brick cap, the wall is shared by you and your neighbor. If there are no markers, inform your neighbor of your plans to add fencing, additional bricks, or fence to increase the height. The easiest way to ensure quick review and approval of your application for fencing is to include an ARC Neighbor Permission letter signed by all affected parties. All metal fencing must be painted weathered brown. For any additional questions, please contact us at arc@suncityorovalley.com.
Artisan Center Renovation Task Force Chair Tim Kelley 734-645-8199 tkelleyscov@gmail.com See SCOV calendar for meeting dates, time, and location
The Board of Directors authorized the Artisan Center Renovation Task Force (ACRTF) at their meeting on May 25 and named Tim Kelley as chair. As of this writing, the members and liaisons for the task force are being identified. The SCOV website (Members > Committees > ACRTF) provides the Charter for the task force. The website also provides “A Discussion of the Existing and Future Facility Requirements for the Artisan Clubs of SCOV.” An informal working group comprised of representatives from the artisan clubs met over the winter to research and write this discussion paper. The ACRTF will now build on the discussion paper, work with an architect, and develop a recommendation for the renovation of this 34-year-old Artisan Center facility. Find meeting dates, times and location on the website.

The paper directory typically goes to press in August. Read “This Week in SCOV” for updates. Check both the online and paper directories to ensure your listing is correct. To update your listing, the preferred method is to complete the online form “To change your directory listing….” Otherwise, you can fill out an orange card at the Welcome Center. Is your deceased partner still listed? Many people like to keep their loved one’s name in the directory, for safety or for sentiment. So, deceased spouses are removed only when the surviving spouse requests it. Only you can decide if it’s time to update your listing. Are you a new resident or have you moved within SCOV? New owners are unlisted by default. This includes those who move within SCOV. FYI: The publisher controls the Business White and Yellow pages. We can’t fix errors in those sections.
