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.

Motion Made Last November Affects BOD Summer Schedule

by Susan Jakosa Wherever you may be as you are reading the Tipster this month, I am hopeful that every one of you is enjoying all the Crazy, Hazy, Lazy Days of Summer!

Many residents of SCOV spend a great part of the summer visiting family and friends, returning to a second home or just vacationing out of state or even out of the country.

Prior to this July, members of the Board were not able to plan such a lengthy holiday since a Board meeting and Study session were scheduled for each month of the year.

To encourage more residents to consider running for the Board of Directors, a motion was made and approved at the November 2013 meeting to not schedule Board meetings in July and August. However, if certain events occur and a meeting is deemed necessary during these months, a Special Meeting may be called and any Director not in residence at the time may attend via telephone conferencing. This, of course, would allow everyone attending the meeting to hear all participating parties via speakerphone.

Having the summer off was not a critical issue in my decision to run for the Board, but I believe it gave each candidate a positive outlook knowing any future summer plans did not need to be altered. So, here I am Sittin’ On the Dock of the Bay, well, really on a lake, not only thankful the decision was made but looking forward to more residents wanting to now get involved with the Board. Please do think about it!

In the meantime and even without July and August Board meetings, a number of projects have already been completed and many are still in progress this summer due to the diligence of our excellent Staff.

One of those projects includes restrooms being refreshed in a number of facilities. Pickleball and Bocce ball courts also remain in the works.

So enjoy the rest of the summer and try to attend a Board meeting this fall. I would certainly enjoy meeting you. Hopefully, I might then See You in September!

The Views Golf Club — Revenue and Reputation Although The Views Golf Club financial condition is far from ideal, it appears that we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As a result of a sound marketing program, excellent course conditions plus great customer service, golf play has increased at The Views. Revenue from public golf exceeded $300,000 this year for the first time. In addition, sales of annual passes increased after several years of decline.

One obvious benefit of this increased golf revenue is that every dollar that is generated from golf is a dollar that does not have to be generated from the annual homeowner dues that you pay. So, whether you golf or not, all residents want this increase in golf revenue to become a trend rather than an aberration.

Aside from the benefit from golf revenue as noted above, there is at least one other benefit to SCOV homeowners, which is enhancement of your property values. I will admit that I do not have tangible data that proves this point; however, logical thinking and general real estate principles seem to support my position.

It stands to reason that if the SCOV amenities such as the Fitness Center, Pickleball Courts, etc. are in demand by residents and potential residents, that demand will help increase demand for housing in the community. This concept also applies to The Views Golf Club. The more The Views reputation improves and golf play increases, the greater the demand for the golf course. Logically thinking, this demand for a major SCOV amenity will ultimately translate to increased demand for homes in SCOV by golfers and nongolfers which generally results in escalated housing prices.

Please keep in mind that the best advertising is word of mouth. So, whether you’re a golfer or you’re a resident that’s never picked up a golf club, take any opportunity that you may have to encourage friends, relatives, business associates and others to partake in golf at your golf course. It’s for your benefit.

It’s More Than Living... It’s A Lifestyle... in Sun City Oro Valley

Rolling on the River... and everywhere else Proud Vistoso Cyclists keep on rolling Story and photo by Jim Mitchell Ask Jim Johnson, president of Vistoso Cyclists, SCOV’s biking club, about his favorite ride and he’ll quickly tell you it’s from Sun City out to Sabino Canyon, returning along the Rillito River path on the way home. It’s around a 50-mile jaunt.

Johnson started riding just five years ago, a couple of years after he and his wife, Bonnie, moved to SCOV from the Portland, OR area. “I was looking for an activity,” Johnson explains, “and with around 350 days of sun and the great infrastructure around Oro Valley, biking was a natural.” Oro Valley offers more than 110 miles of paved trails, shoulders and paths.

The club leaves Mountain View Plaza every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6:30 AM in the summer and as late as 9 AM in the winter. They usually break into short and long-ride groups ranging from 25 to 60 miles. Rides get progressively longer each ride-day. They always include a coffee stop at places like Beyond Bread or the popular A.J.’s.

Once a month, there’s a 20 to 25 mile breakfast ride.

Among the oldest club members are Jack and Libby Melville. “Our combined age is 166,” Jack muses. Libby had quintuple bypass surgery in March of 2013, but couldn’t wait to get back on a bike.

Both started riding in 2000 after buying a tandem that now has almost 70,000 miles on it. “We ride around 175 miles a week,” says Jack. He’s ridden the 111-mile Tour de Tucson eight times and they’ve ridden their tandem that distance twice. Both agree that the most enjoyable aspect of the club is the sociability. Libby is also an advocate for a newer segment of the club, WOW (Women on Wheels). That group rides less than 20 miles on Tuesdays.

The youngest of the 153-member club, Ted Goode, Jim Johnson, club president, invites riders of all levels, to join the Vistoso Cyclists’ fun.

51, lives in Tuscaloosa, AL, but has ties to SCOV because Johnson explains, “Even if people don’t want to ride, they his parents, Ed and Beverly, live here. “I had hip replacement surgery and had to find some exercise I could do. I knew I may want to work on bikes for the kids.” Member Ernie was going to visit my parents, so I discovered the club on Fisher, who worked on more than 50 bikes last winter, Harv the Internet and contacted them,” he explains. “I joined and Ferguson and Dick Swain serve as primary trainers for those rode at least eight of the 11 days I was there. I had no idea interested in tuning up bikes for donations.

Club membership costs $10 per year which includes insurthe paths and bike lanes were going to be so great. But the biggest surprise was the physical shape these guys are in. It’s ance coverage when riding with the group. Applications are pretty tough when a 76-year-old takes you to school. But online at www.scovaz.com/clubs/cyclists, or you can call Tom or Bonnie Bethea at 773-653-4580 to join or get ride inforthey all waited for me at the top of the hills.”

Members have cycled all around the world, including South- mation. Johnson suggests getting your bike tuned up before riding. All riders must wear a helmet. east Asia and “bike and barge” tours along European rivers.

“Don’t be intimidated,” Johnson concludes. “We run safety The fastest-growing segment of the club is mountain biking classes to overcome apprehension. It’s actually safer riding with up to 24 members in peak season riding every Wednesday following the power lines along Alamo Canyon to the Tortolitas. with the club because 50 or so riders are more visible, esCharity is a growing part of club activities. Many members pecially on the roads. We welcome anyone of any level and also fix or tune up bikes people donate to Wheels for Kids, make sure people aren’t dropped from the pack.

All submittals must be presented in person to the Community Services Coordinator the Tuesday prior to the ARC meeting. The homeowner or a designated representative must be available to meet in person with a member of the ARC prior to the meeting. If you will not be available, a form must be filled out along with your submittal to designate your representative and provide contact information.

For your protection, we are strongly recommending that you or your designated representative be available during the construction process. Recently we have had projects not completed as planned and the homeowner has had to have work redone because the job was left unattended.

Aluminum Can Donations: put those aluminum cans to work for SCOV. Deposit empty, rinsed aluminum cans in the box outside the Activity Center kitchen. For safety reasons, do not deposit unrinsed cans which can attract bees and may become a hazard. Profits fund the equipment for the Loan Room. Please continue to save your aluminum cans because this supports our Loan Room, providing a way to purchase new equipment as needed.

In June, we delivered 400 pounds of aluminum cans, for which we received $236. This brings our year-to-date total receipts to $2,489.80 with a total of 4,220 pounds recycled.

The Loan Room continues to be open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8-9 AM throughout the summer. You will no longer be able to make telephone reservations until the Telephone Committee begins again in November, but you can always reserve the items you need by coming to the Loan Room.

We have many items to loan, from medical items, to cots and rollaway beds, tables and chairs and some children’s items. Please feel free to visit us when we are open to see what we have.

Chair Tempe Johnson 825-6994 Third Tuesday, 2 PM, WC3 It Happens Every Summer

The summer rains come, along with the wind, and we thank those in our community who keep a watchful 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.

Please keep an eye out for those pesky weeds which seem to appear overnight with the monsoon season and remove them from your yard as soon as possible. Try to make every effort to stay ahead of the weed situation in your yard in the next few weeks.

The project of painting the Weathered Brown color on utility boxes began a few years ago and is continuing this summer at no cost to the individual homeowner. If the boxes in your yard are surrounded by shrubs, they should be cleared away somewhat to make it easy for the painter or the utility company to gain access.

We thank you for cooperating in keeping pride in your yard and our neighborhood, even in our extremely hot summer months.

Posse

Chair Robert Hefner 825-4825 First Tuesday, 3 PM, Activity Center/Hopi www.scovaz.com/committees/posse/

Are neighbor’s newspapers piling up in their driveway or flyers accumulating on their front door? Why not be a good neighbor and fight crime by getting rid of these things for them. Allowing them to build up is like hanging out a sign on their house stating “Thieves Welcome.”

Now that our winter residents have left for the summer, it is more difficult filling our nightly Posse shifts. If you are not a

Assistant Manager - Robin Coulter

Staff Marketing Report for 2013-2014

The following is a staff report on efforts and results of staff’s work on the 2013-2014 Marketing Plan. The Marketing Plan is developed by the Marketing Committee with staff input.

Staff has met bimonthly as a team to plan, review opportunities, address challenges and measure progress. Our team includes our General Manager, Bob Mariani; Assistant Manager, Robin Coulter; Controller, Randy Trenary; Golf Pro, Kim Griggs; Café Manager, Vince Hotz; Communications Coordinator, Chris Richard and Administrative Specialist, Kathy Peabody. Each of these individuals brings expertise to our efforts and work together well as a marketing team.

The marketing budget for 2013-2014 was $59,000. A marketing budget is developed by assessing the success of previous campaigns. The campaigns are measured through several different mechanisms such as a unique phone number and reporting that will track how many times that number was called, counting the number of coupons turned in for a promotion or using the point of sale system to identify a promotion (i.e., Five to Free in the Café).

The Marketing Committee’s Charter and the staff committee mission is to continue to evolve SCOV as an active adult community by designing marketing strategies that target the next generation of SCOV home buyers and by marketing SCOV as a community rich in the amenities desired by active adults seeking a healthy, dynamic lifestyle, includ-

ing a championship golf course, additionally, the goals are to promote our community to the Tucson area and beyond, for the express purpose of attracting new residents, new annual golf pass holders, enhancing property values and increasing Café revenues.

Our Most Important Promises are for our three marketing initiatives: 1. Home Owners Association: a. Promote our community, stress location, convenient to retail, restaurants, healthcare and the arts b. Ideal size active adult community known for its excep tional friendliness, c. Breath-taking mountain and high desert views d. Healthy lifestyle II. Golf: A golfing experience that provides beauty, challenge and excellent conditions III. Café: Convenient community Café offering an enjoyable experience in breakfast, lunch, drinks and appetizers, special event dinners and Happy Hours.

Goals were set for the homeowner’s association, golf course and café. Each goal had strategies and tactics for achieving that goal. Achievements this year include implementing the changes from the new Identity Manual developed by the Marketing Committee (new business cards, branding the Association vehicles, signage, etc.). We are in the process of trademarking logos and tag lines. As a result of the plan, our entire staff underwent a customer service training program. There has been an extensive advertising program for the HOA, golf course and café resulting in lead and revenue increases across the board. We are building dialogue and partnerships with the Town, chamber and local realtors through participating in chamber events, distributing SCOV information brochures at the Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce and staff meeting quarterly with the Town Manager, officials and staff.

Two notable benchmarks include public golf revenue breaking $300k and The Café revenue breaking $600k.

Not to rest on our laurels, staff has already begun executing the Marketing Committee’s 2014-2015 Marketing Plan and look forward to another good year.

Change

I remember asking for Pickleball courts to be built when I first became employed by the Association. I was told “no one knows what that is, and no one will play.” I knew this game was becoming popular around the country. After a few years, courts were built, everyone took notice, started to play and now we are building more new courts.

This is an example of how times change and staff meets new needs. Change is difficult for some people but in order to continue to have more people want to move into the community, changes are always going to be made. Think back and remember the old gym. Many now say I can’t believe how outdated, dark and small the old gym was. With all that said, when a change is made or something is added, realize that all changes benefit all of the residents in some way.

Food & Beverage Director - Vince Hotz I hope everyone is finding ways to beat the heat.

Don’t forget to stop by The Café to try one of our new draft beers. We now have two tap beers, one is a rotating seasonal and the other is a rotating local. Another great thirst quencher is our Prickly Pear Lemonade. Also, Try our house-made meat pie. make sure to come by The Café to try our afternoon menu from 3-5 PM. We have had great response to our pastry and coffee special for $4. If you haven’t tried our house-made pastries, you’re missing out. This special is good seven days a week.

In our effort to utilize whole foods and to make items from scratch, we have added an herb tower to The Café and we will be using it to produce herbs, fruits and vegetables. We are working with Native Seeds Search and others to grow organic and heirloom varieties whenever possible. Hope to see you at The Café soon.

The Café is offering you a chance to receive a free breakfast or lunch if you turn in a comment card. Monthly comment cards are drawn randomly for the free meal. The June winners are: Kenton Miller, Jimmie Cox, Sid Lang, Teresa Petty and Isabelle Kassel. Congratulations and bon appétit.

SCOV Library - Kate Cusumano

Follow Kate’s blog: scovlibrary.wordpress.com

We are thrilled to be hosting author JA Jance for a special event on August 6. See Coming Events for details.

New to our video collection we have Transcendence, Johnny Depp, The Other Woman, Cameron Diaz, and Last Tango in Halifax: Season 1, Derek Jacobi.

Recent additions to our audio book shelves include Stella Bain, Anita Shreve and Something Borrowed, Someone Dead, M.C. Beaton.

New in fiction are Act of War, Brad Thor, Remains of Innocence, JA Jance, and Big Little Lies, Liane Moriarty, although they will likely all be on the reserve list by the time you read this! George F. Will’s new book, A Nice Little Place on the North Side, makes for a good read if you prefer nonfiction.

I hope you stop by the library to cool off and look for a good book or movie to stay inside with during our last full month of summer.

Recreation and Fitness - Lonnie Davis

Life Fitness LF Connect: Programming Your Treadmill

Using the lfconnect app, you can design your own interval workouts and load them into a LifeFitness treadmill, crosstrainer or bike using a USB jump drive. On the LifeFitness Connect site: https://www.lfconnect.com/web/ you can build custom interval workouts stage by stage, creating each step in the workout by specifying the speed, length and even the incline of each interval segment. Then, after transferring your workouts over to the USB jump drive, you just insert the USB jump drive into the fitness equipment and start your workout.

Association-Sponsored Fitness Classes

Purchase a fitness punch card from the Welcome Center/ Administration Office, $20/10 classes. You may use this card for all SCOV-sponsored fitness classes. It can also be used for your guests. There is a $2 drop-in charge if you do not have a punch card.

Golf

Head Golf Professional - Kim Griggs

www.theviewsgolfclub.com

As everything is slowing down due to the hot weather, the Pro Shop staff is gearing up behind the scenes for another fun season. I will be ordering new range balls and scorecards. We will also be changing out the Shoe brushes around the golf shop. Stop by our fully-stocked golf shop to check out our closeout specials and our new summer hat supply. In stock golf shoes are 40% off through September while supplies last. Our current golf rate cards can also be picked up in the golf shop. Stop by and visit with our friendly staff.

Buy your very own range pass card, so you will not have to keep getting tokens from the golf shop. Stop by and ask for our pricing options and more details.

Remember that the monsoon season is upon us, and the rain brings lightning. Whenever you see lightning, please get indoors as quickly as possible. Lightning is nothing to fool around with (just ask Lee Trevino). Also, drink plenty of fluids and keep your body hydrated. Carrying a wet towel is also a great idea with the triple-digit temperatures that we are experiencing.

Superintendent - Michael Kropf In previous years, August Tipster articles were often written to thank golfers for the patience and understanding during the regrassing of overseeded areas. This year the transition has been so good that only two areas on the grass were sprigged and most of the thin areas have enough underlying Bermuda grass that no repairs are required. The weak areas are being spot fertilized with high levels of nitrogen for rapid growth and spot watered to encourage healthy growth.

However, this year the aprons overseeded around the front nine greens are very weak. These are difficult areas to repair because they are so close to the greens. Sprigging is not a very good option because sprigs require lots of water which creates very unplayable conditions. Sod is the most viable option, but this year the seed prices are so high, there isn’t really a budget for purchasing sod. The rye grass was chemically removed at the end of June, and that will show how bare the areas really are around the collars.

Hopefully, enough Bermuda is present that the same mea-

August 2014, Sun City Oro Valley Tipster

sures can be taken as with the fairways: increased fertility and spot watering to encourage growth. If the areas end up being too large, then some sod will be used to repair them.

With the combination of high humidity, rainfall and warm temperatures, the roughs are usually very thick in August.

Normally, sprigging thins them out, but with very little sprigging this summer, they will be dense, so a growth regulator and aerification will be used to control the growth.

Golf Advisory

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

August is a beautiful month to live in Arizona with the onset of monsoon rains. Our course is exceptionally impressive during this season. The fairway grass is filling in exceedingly well after sprigging just a few areas this year. In the chipping area, new fencing has been installed. On hole-17, the first grass bunker on the right side of the green, which was reconstructed in the spring, is now draining the correct way. Remember to fill all divots with sand while practicing on the chipping area and while playing the golf course.

The Views 18-Hole Men’s Golf Club

Pres. Don Andersen 818-0784 Membership Jerry Bushong 818-2513 Play Wednesday

Once again, the heat of mid-summer is upon us and fewer and fewer members are sticking around to play. Those of us who do, enjoy each other’s company and a different game each week as we seek the nearest available shade during our round and/or, perhaps, a fan-friendly cart.

Arrangements are in place enabling us to play several desirable courses in the area. According to Kim, the number to call to schedule the venue and tee times is 447-3565.

Knowing that cooler temperatures and an influx of golfing buddies is on the horizon should keep us going until fall.

The Views Men’s Nine-Hole Golf Club

Pres. Sherwin Koopmans 818-6337 Membership Jack Saatkamp 825-4376 Play Thursday

The long, hot summer continues and the Men’s Nine Hole Club has independent play with a 7:30 AM shotgun start.

Sign up in the Club Book located in the back of The Views Pro Shop. A great deal of work on the course is being performed this summer. Thanks to the efforts and financial support of Buster LaBrie and the Men’s 18 and 9-Hole Clubs and the Ladies 18 and 9 Hole Clubs, new fencing has been installed on the chipping range. It looks fabulous and will do a much better job of keeping golf balls from going into the desert or onto the first fairway. On Thursday, June 5th, Dave Johnson got a hole-in-one on #17 during Club play.

Unfortunately, he did not purchase hole-in-one insurance, so no money will be heading his way.

This month’s golf quote comes from Bobby Jones. “The best exercise for golfers is golfing.”

Want Additional Landscaping Beyond Your Property?

SCOV has a program to do fire prevention landscaping on common areas behind many SCOV properties.

This occurs on a schedule. However, if you would like landscaping to occur ahead of schedule or have additional work done on ASSOCIATION land, there is a process for doing that. It’s called the Pre-Qualified Landscaper Program. An application must be submitted and approved before any work can be done.

Check on the scovaz.com website for more details by clicking on Association then, Governing Documents, then, Vegetation Maintenance Request.

Landscaping Tip from Mary Cunningham SCOV Common Area Maintenance Supervisor

Did you know that putting white rocks around the base of plants allows the sun to reflect on the plant, causing burns and may kill the plant?

Feature

Seasoned Cyclist Tells Tale of Lifesaving Helmet

by Rich Bingle, Member, Vistoso Cyclists Club with Paul Mercer

Most of you know that cycling can be dangerous...that’s why we wear those funny-looking helmets. I was enjoying riding by myself in the bike lane on Thornydale Road at 18 mph. My front wheel hit a random chunk of asphalt, hidden in shadows, of the “safe” bike lane. My bike rolled right and I rolled left. Fortunately, I had just upgraded my older, expensive four-year-old helmet for a brand new expensive helmet four months ago. When I went down, my head bounced on the road. My new helmet fit perfectly and that was a good thing as I rolled over three times and hit my head twice, breaking the helmet in several places. I wondered “What the hell just happened?”

As an older rider, I have health issues and one of those is eyesight and another of those is using a blood thinner. I have seen riders with perfect eyesight run into the back of a white pickup truck, and I have seen other members with blood thinners crash and face extensive injuries. I got scraped up from foot to hip, with what we call road rash, and was bleeding profusely. When the trauma doctor found that I was taking Plavix, he said, unscientifically, “that is bad stuff; it messes up everything.” I did not require stitches but lost a considerable amount of blood, and that made me dizzy and weak.

This all earned me a spot in the UMC trauma center. And riding in an ambulance is no longer on my bucket list. This was my first spill in 30 years. I hope it doesn’t happen again.

Here is what we know about helmets. There are major improvements made almost every year. Please do not try and save money on helmets. Buy a cheaper bike, hang on to those clothes another season, cut back on the beer money, but remember: buy the best helmet you can find. As of this writing, even the best helmet cannot protect you from concussion but it can help prevent skull fractures. If you ride bicycles, buy the best helmet and follow the fitting instructions exactly.

Bobi Borenstrin A deep and heartfelt thank you to the generous members of our Sun City Oro Valley community who responded to the Rock and Roll Club’s collection campaign for school supplies, personal care items and cash to benefit YOTO (Youth On Their Own). You have made a difference in the lives of the youth served by YOTO.

The short stories provide important perspectives on the experiences, concerns, and aspirations of those who left their homeland for a new life in the United States. The volume editors state “the stories collected in Immigrant Voices are about daily life in a changing America, and about the kinds of relationships

immigrants in the United States have with each other, with the people and places around them, and with those who remain in their home countries.... Immigrant Voices presents a cross-section of new voices and ideas about these experiences.” The story “Letting Go to America” will be discussed during our October 1 meeting. Contact Jeff Amthor if you would like to lead discussion of a particular story. No dues for the 2014-15 season.

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

At our August meeting we will discuss The Last Runaway

by Tracy Chevalier. Ohio 1850: For a modest English Quaker stranded far from home, life is a trial. Untethered from the moment she leaves England, fleeing personal disappointment, Honor Bright is forced by family tragedy to rely on strangers in an alien, untamed landscape. Drawn into the clandestine activities of the Underground Railroad, a network helping runaway slaves escape to freedom, Honor befriends two exceptional people who embody the startling power of defiance.

At our September meeting we will discuss Orphan Master’s Son by Adam Johnson. Pak Jun Do is the haunted son of a lost mother, a singer “stolen” to Pyongyang, and an influential father who runs a work camp for orphans. Superiors in the state soon recognize the boy’s loyalty and keen instincts.

Considering himself “a humble citizen of the greatest nation in the world,” Jun Do rises in the ranks. He becomes a professional kidnapper who must navigate the shifting rules, arbitrary violence and baffling demands of his Korean overlords in order to stay alive.

Newcomers and guests are always welcome. Light refreshments will be served.

Hiking

Jim Williams, 818-2226, jaswilliams128@msn.com www.scovaz.com/clubs/hiking

Among the many hikes featured for the summer months was one led by Clive Probert which included trails along Middlegate, the Sutherland Wash and the Deer Camp Trail.

The hikers spotted a horned toad lizard pictured in this article. Many such creatures are only seen during the warmer seasons of the year which is a good reason to join a hike now.

During August we continue to look forward to monsoon rains which change the landscape, dramatically greening up the desert and mountains. Additional benefits are the packed surfaces in the washes, as well as pools and flowing waters in the canyons.

If you would like to join the hiking club, Jim Williams is offering orientation hikes required for new members. It is a good time to get started in the club.

Sun City Vistoso Tipster, Febraury 2011

Pilates

Mary Ayers 638-7916 mary.pilates@gmx.com Monday, 3 PM, Thursday, 1:30 PM, AFC/Studio 2

People are always asking, “Is Pilates good exercise for seniors?” The answer is definitely “Yes.” Group mat classes with professional instructors like ours make all the difference. Now that summer is here our classes are smaller and more personal. Often the dance bar is used for specific balancing exercises, and more strenuous routines are modified for those of us with limitations. We all agree that the following benefits for senior men and women can’t be beat: increased core strength (abdomen and back muscles), balance, flexibility, muscle tone, stamina and well-being. Joseph Pilates, the founder, practiced well into his eighties. Give our classes a try or just come by and watch. The cost is only $8/ class with annual club dues of $20 pp. Call Mary Ayers.

Pinochle

Barbara Matthies 825-4891 Wednesday, 6 PM, Desert Oasis/Ocotillo

We play single deck and rotate partners every four hands.

Bring 50¢ for your tally. The first Wednesday is treat night.

The third Wednesday is birthday night. If your skills are a little rusty we will get you up to speed quickly. Annual dues $6 pp.

Poets Corner

Sharyn Rafieyan 825-6762 Monday, 9:30-11:30 AM, Desert Oasis

Poet Aimee Nezhukumathil answers the question that forms the title of her poem “Are All the Break-Ups in Your Poems Real?” by allowing the reader to see that the answer is a confounding yes and no. “If by real you mean as a shark tooth stuck in your heel, the wetness of a finished lollipop stick, the surprise of a thumbtack in your purse, then yes, every last page is true, every nuance...” However, she later interjects a “Wait” and goes on to state that “I have made them up, all of them, and when I say I am married, it means I married all of them, a whole neighborhood of past loves...” Thus the reader is led to believe that there is a reality buried within the invention and a foundation of truth that informs the poem without constraining the poet’s imagination. Poetry never requires strict adhesion to fact, yet poets rarely attempt to hide real feeling or honest opinion, proving perhaps that “yes and no” is the best answer to this question.

Poker

Men’s Friday Poker George Rose 520-303-2019 tucsonroses@live.com Friday, 5:45-8:45 PM, Desert Oasis/ Saguaro

Playing poker with your neighbors can be most enjoyable.

We play high only, five draw, five stud, seven stud, Omaha, Texas Hold’em and iron cross (criss cross). No dues. Bring your own refreshments. The dealer will ante cards for all players which gives him control of the game. The cards speak for themselves. Absolute requirements are to leave politics and religion at the front door and come with the intention of having three hours of enjoyable, no-hassle, understandable poker.

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.

Town Of Oro Valley What is Home Rule?

The State of Arizona’s Constitution imposes a formulabased budget spending limit which does not take into consideration services and programs such as public safety, water and roadway infrastructure. As an alternative, the State Constitution allows voters of a municipality to approve a Local Alternative Expenditure Limitation (“Home Rule” Option). The Home Rule option allows a city or town to adopt its own budget limits based on local needs, service levels and available resources. Find out what a “YES” or a “NO” vote would mean for the Town of Oro Valley by visiting www.orovalleyaz.gov and clicking on “What is Home Rule?”

Our club offers fun events and get-togethers for those new to Tucson. We hold monthly coffees and luncheons offering a fun way to meet people and become familiar with what the communities of Tucson have to offer. We also welcome those with recent life changes who wish to re-join.

Contact: Carol Funk, 520-638-5065, for information and membership. www.welcomeclubnorthwest.org or welcomeclubnorthwest@gmail.com For August luncheon information call Carol Funk. Coffee get-togethers are the third Thursday of the month. Prospective members may attend two functions before joining.

Secure Access Update Your membership cards are now needed to gain access into Catalina Vista, Desert Oasis and the AFC. Please carry your card with you. If you’d like it to be punched and receive a free lanyard, please come to the Administration Office. Do not punch your cards yourselves as there are only two safe zones on the card in which it may be punched. Punching in another area may result in the card being damaged.

Key Fobs If you would like a key fob for use with the secure access system, they are available at the Welcome Center Office for $10. It’s not a substitute for your card.

The fob will provide you access to the Catalina Vista, Desert Oasis and the AFC. It will not work at the library.

Wilda Sobansky has been my Real Estate Agent for listing my present home and buying my new home. I would like to tell you that my experience with her in conducting the necessary steps in the entire sell/buy process has been exceptional. Never once did I feel she was too busy to assist me, whether in providing me with the necessary information, next steps, or answering my many questions. I found her to be most knowledgeable, helpful, and very pleasant to work with. Should anyone approach me looking for an Agent to list or buy a home, Wilda will be #1 on my list. Thank you and all your people at Long Realty for a pleasant and efficient home transaction experience.
