Association News

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.

Money, Money, Money

by Lauren Strassburg By the time you read this, you will have paid your 2015-2016 dues. As you are aware they were the same as last year: no increase. We need to thank the prudent effort of our staff for efficiently running our community.

I expect most residents consider their annual dues to be a bargain. Look what your dues buy: use of two pools, five pickleball courts, four bocce courts, a premier exercise facility, eight tennis courts, a putt putt course, horseshoes, billiards, table tennis, a private full-service library, plus the opportunity to join any of our 100+ clubs (whew, I’m tired just listing all the things to do).

The Association is in excellent shape from a financial outlook. We have no debt; in fact, we have never had debt. Our three restricted funds are at an acceptable level. Although we must always be vigilant, the Asset Reserve Fund will adequately meet our forecasted needs for the next 30 years. The Capital Fund continues to grow with the number of home sales remaining at a high level. Our two major projects, Pro Shop and Café/Lounge, will be funded from the Capital Fund.

Lastly, our Contingency Fund remains constant with no unexpected expenses draining the fund. I trust that we have adequate funds available to maintain our community at its current high level of excellence.

The next major project will likely be the Auditorium. It seriously needs a facelift. I am confident the Board of Directors and community as a whole will be patient on this new project until we can pay for it from the Capital Fund.

We all need to remember to listen to the needs and desires of our residents. Remember the AFC original plan? It was defeated by residents, and a new plan was drawn up which everyone considers state of the art.

In the June Tipster, Richard Babin mentioned the Bylaws do not require member approval for renovation projects. Be alert for this opportunity for what he calls “direct democracy” to give the members a voice in our future.

In closing, be thankful for choosing to live in such a community. We can rest assured our retirement income will not be depleted by a sudden unexpected assessment.

Summertime in SCOV

The song that so many of us know says, “Summertime and the living is easy.” I have nothing to complain about, life is good. Yet even though a big percentage of our residents have departed for hopefully cooler places, the wheels keep turning for the SCOV staff.

The workload may be a bit different for many of our staff, but it’s still there. Aside from the day-to-day maintenance, cooking, cleaning and many other tasks, here are few tasks and/or projects that are being dealt with over the coming hot months.

• Processing of HOA dues and many golf dues • Preparing documentation and working with the auditors during the initial time-consuming stage of the annual finan- cial audit.

• Reviewing and updating Board Policies • Reviewing and updating the Club Rules • Organize standard operating procedures • Continued development of the new SCOV website • Oversight of the Library improvements and digital check out/in system • Development of a new name for the Lounge/Café • Oversight of the Pro Shop project • Oversight of the Lounge/Café project • Development of IT and sound systems for the Pro Shop and Lounge projects • Developing an exterior paint scheme for the common area facilities and a paint schedule plus overseeing the painting project • Developing marketing for the new golf passes • Construction of two new tee boxes • Reconfiguring a portion of Hole #6 by reducing grass bunkers • Dredging the irrigation inlet pond • Implementation of a new Food and Beverage standard operating procedure manual plus a number of other training procedures • Develop and/or update food and beverage menus.

The list could easily be expanded, yet I think the message is clear that although the living will be good, it won’t be all that easy this summer. Although it may not be easy, completion of these projects and tasks brings a true sense of accomplishment and pride to many of our staff.

It’s More Than Living... It’s A Lifestyle...

Lights...Action...Camera!

Photo Club Filled With Shooting Stars

by Paul Mercer

Many of us are photographers and most likely have been for the majority of our lives.

Then there are the ones who are looking for a new hobby in retirement or just want to see if photography is good for them. For people like us, there is a club here to enhance our knowledge and also have some fun with our cameras...the Photography Club.

The club started in Sun City in 1994 and worked with sinks, emulsions, and a dedicated group of club members.

The members first worked in the chemical dark room at the lab in Catalina Vista.

Those days are long gone, having been replaced by digital technology. Depending on your experience and point of view, you may La Jolla Potholes - by Laura Hackenbrock say “Good” or “Gosh, I miss those days.”

The club continues to go strong with over 50 active members. All members have their own cameras, usually SLRs, point-and-shoot and, of course, iPhone or similar cameras. It is a competitive club with eight competitions a year.

Why competitions? They are Parking Lot Light - by Brenda Ericsson used as learning aids: in situations that arise by doing, not theoretical settings in a classroom.

This leads to faster and more permanent learning.

There are three levels of competition: Level 1 for beginners, Level 2 for intermediates and Level 3 for the more experienced members who have been active longer, so there is a place for all in the group. There are 3 prizes per month,

Sun City Vistoso Tipster, Febraury 2011

and in May all the past year’s monthly winners compete for Best of the Year prizes. All are decided on composition, technical correctness and impact on the judges. Half of the entries each month are displayed digitally; the other half are printed.

There are one to two meetings a month with monthly programs on occasion that feature speakers, systems, Grater - by Steve Alverdes field trips and workshops.

There is also a lab available to help members with composition, technical quality, and other useful information for all: beginners and the more experienced. Look under Vistoso Photo at http:// vistosophotoclub.weebly. com to find the club schedule and activities for the month.

Association Committees Committee meetings are open and all residents are welcome to attend.

Help Needed This Help Needed section is for the purpose of listing volunteer help wanted ads for various Association Committees.

Neighborhood Pride needs you. Do you take pride in living in our beautiful community? Do you have about 3-4 hours a month to devote to serving on the committee? Owning a golf cart would be very much appreciated. If you are interested and would like to join us, or if you have any questions, call Tempe Johnson 825-6994 or Katy Mosier, Staff Liaison, 917-8058.

Active Health

Chair Janyce Lundstedt 503-475-0520 janyce.lundstedt@gmail.com October-May, Second Tuesday, 1:30 PM, WC3 scovaz.com/committees/activehealth/

We are fortunate to live in a community that has several resources to help us learn how we can stay physically active in healthy ways. One resource is Pima Council On Aging (PCOA); each month, we place their newsletter in the magazine rack outside the library (or you can go to pcoa. org to get their most current listings). Another resource is the Oro Valley Community Center which provides regular sessions on a variety of topics you might find useful; you can find them at their website or in the newspaper. Check these year-round free resources out. Let us know if you hear a speaker that our SCOV residents may want to hear; we will make the contacts and arrangements if the speaker is available. If you have other printed information about active health information you would like to share, please put it in the magazine rack outside the library or call Joyce Holm at 825-4663. Of course, SCOV is a wonderful resource as well; the summer months are a good time to utilize our terrific gym and/or one of our indoor or pool exercise classes.

Stay active, be safe.

AFC Advisory Committee

Chair Michael Takerian, 520-256-3213, michaeltakerian@gmail.com First Wednesday, 11:30 AM, WC1 afc@suncityorovalley.com

The AFC Committee will not have a regular meeting in August. Residents with questions or input can contact us online at afc@suncityorovalley.com or by leaving a comment card in the suggestion box at the gym.

Architectural Review

Chair Lou Gard, 520-825-4773, lougard@q.com Second and Fourth Tuesday, 2 PM, WC3

If you are planning to change TV service providers, whether from cable to satellite or Dish to Direct TV, or vice versa, contact Katy Mosier, 917-8058, and someone from the ARC will come to your home to make sure that the satellite receiver is located in the best location on your lot. If you presently have a satellite receiver, do not assume it is in the best location as many were located without ARC input.

As some of you are aware there is a new sub-committee

Sun City Oro Valley Tipster, August 2015

to the ARC, it is the Architectural Compliance Team (ACT).

The ACT is ready to aid any homeowner by doing a courtesy inspection prior to listing for sale. We encourage all home owners who are contemplating the sale of their home to take advantage of this ACT service. If there are any infractions to the Development Standards, even very minor ones, a heads-up can save much angst when a home goes into escrow. To see all the services the ACT will provide, look to the ARC missive in the July Tipster.

I use lots of semiprecious stones and pearls. I have done classic work, African themes, and SW designs. Recently I have experimented with poly clay. I love Featured artist, Joan Meder working in the Gift Shop. There are so many nice people to work with, as well as, enjoying the visitors.”

Neighborhood Pride

Chair Tempe Johnson 825-6994 Third Tuesday, 2 PM, WC3 As Summer Winds Down

The summer rains and wind are here, 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 continues. 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.

Assistant Manager - Robin Coulter

Census for Age Restricted Communities

As an age restricted community we must comply with the laws and guidelines in the HOPA (Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995). This Act amends the Fair Housing Act to allow for age-restricted communities for older persons if certain criteria are met. This criteria includes that the property is intended and operated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older and that at least 80 percent of the occupied units are occupied by at least one person who is 55 years of age or older.

It mandates that every two years a census be taken to verify the age of the community’s occupants. Documents reliable for age verification include a driver’s license or birth certificate. An additional method to satisfy this requirement is an affidavit signed by an adult member of the household asserting that at least one occupant in the unit is 55 years of age or older. This affidavit is the method we use and what was sent to you in the annual mailing.

Once the affidavit is received, the information is entered into the community’s database. The surveys are then stored (as required by law). The information gathered from the census will be compiled into a report to document that the HOPA age requirement has been met as well. When the final report is available, it will be shared with the community.

This data-gathering opportunity is also used to collect supplemental information (such as whether the home is a rental, vacant, whether an individual is full or part-time, phone numbers and email addresses). This information is used to help the Association understand our residents more and provide better services due to this gained understanding. A good example of this is when a water main sprung a leak in a portion of unit 7. Those homes in the affected area that had provided an email address received an email from us with a press release provided by the Town of Oro Valley. The press release provided the steps the Town was taking to repair the leak (which included the water being turned off for a good portion of the day).

All this being said, thank you for being responsive to the survey. SCOV resident are considerate and conscientious making the collection of this information a smooth process.

Controller - Randy Trenary The fiscal year for the Association ended June 30, 2015. As in the past, the financial statement for June is not included in the August Tipster due to time constraints for completion of year-end procedures. Financial statements can be found on our website www.scovaz.com and in our SCOV Library. An audit will be conducted in August and the complete audited financials will be available on the website and in the SCOV Library before October 31 as mandated by the Bylaws. A copy will also be available in the Administration offices. Money Matters will return with the September issue of the Tipster. If you have any questions, please call 917-8060 or email me at rtrenary@suncityorovalley.com.

Community Services - Katy Mosier

Office Hours 9 AM-11 AM, Monday-Friday, Welcome Center 917-8058 kmosier@suncityorovalley.com Name Changes in Our Association Files

It goes without saying that when a new resident closes on a home, we change ownership information in our files by removing the previous owners’ names when the title company sends us a copy of the new owners’ deed.

Recently, several people in our community have notified us of a spouse’s death and have asked us to remove the decedent’s name from our files. Some are surprised that a verbal instruction to remove a name is insufficient. Our HOA has a deed-based relationship with owners, so changes in ownership must show a change in the deed. In the case of a spousal passing, a copy of the death certificate will provide the legal documentation to make a change in our records.

If you are a surviving spouse, please provide us with a copy of one of these legal documents in order to remove a name from the resident file. We are aware that this is a sensitive issue and hope that this article clarifies the process.

Please be aware that a name change in the telephone directory is made only by a separate request to Carolyn Lerch who handles our community directory. Her email is: gclerch@ comcast.net. No change in our files will affect this directory.

Sun City Oro Valley Tipster, August 2015

Programs/Facilities Director - Pam Sarpalius Can you believe it is August? It won’t be long until seasonal residents return to SCOV. Construction is underway for the new Pro Shop, another improvement for our community.

When the Shop is complete, committees are assisting in creating a new lounge area for all to enjoy. I hope you will be able to attend our End of Summer Fling. More information is in Coming Events and on a flyer included in this Tipster. I would like to once again thank the Sun City Singers for the great Fourth of July show they put on for the community. It was a great way to celebrate.

SCOV Library - Kate Cusumano

Follow Kate’s blog: scovlibrary.wordpress.com

In early August the Library will launch its new computerized checkout system. Both your facility access card and key fob will work in the Library. Stop by now to activate your account and learn how to use the online card catalog to reserve books and movies. This upgrade has been made possible by the generosity of ILR, Friends of the Library, the Woodworking Club and many talented Library volunteers. Thanks to all who have helped with this exciting project.

New in books we have The English Spy by Daniel Silva and Nemesis by Catherine Coulter. In audio books we have Last One Home by Debbie Macomber and The English Spy by Daniel Silva. We have eight new titles in large print, including The Fateful Lighting by Jeff Shaara, and The Guest Cottage by Nancy Thayer.

Ready for a good movie? Stop by and check out Woman in Gold, and Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Friends of the Library This summer is a special time for the SCOV Library and the volunteers who are busy donating their time and expertise to computerize our books, audio books and videos.

Thanks to the generosity of the ILR (Institute of Learning in Retirement) and the fundraising efforts of the FOL, our library will be in a computerized mode in August. Along with the up-to-date technology, the library is getting a new look.

These changes will benefit the entire Sun City Community.

A reminder: you can join the FOL anytime and your membership will be good for a year. Right now, this is a bargain.

Join for $10 pp or $15/household. Membership forms are on the volunteer’s desk.

Recreation and Fitness - Lonnie Davis

Balance Exercises You Can Do Anywhere, Anytime

These anytime, anywhere exercises will help you improve your balance. And you can do them as often as you like, as long as you have something sturdy nearby to hold onto if you become unsteady.

Walk heel-to-toe. Position your heel just in front of the toes of the opposite foot each time you take a step. Your heel and toes should touch or almost touch. Practice standing up and sitting down without using your hands. Stand on one foot. You can do this while waiting in line at the grocery store or at the bus stop. Remember to alternate feet.

Golf

Head Golf Professional - Kim Griggs

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 be changing out the shoe brushes around the Pro Shop. The club cleaners will be replaced. Please stop by our fully stocked Pro Shop to check out our closeout specials and our new summer hat supply. In stock golf shoes are 40% off through October, while supplies last. Our current golf rate cards can also be picked up in the Pro Shop. So please stop by and visit with our friendly staff.

We are building a new Pro Shop, so obey all of the signage during the construction period. This is for your own safety.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Buy your own range pass (card), so you will not have to get tokens from the Pro Shop. Stop by and ask for our pricing options and more details.

Remember that monsoon season is upon us and with rain comes 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 to keep your body hydrated. Carrying a wet towel is also a great idea with the triple digit temperatures that we are experiencing.

Sun City Vistoso Tipster, Febraury 2011

Superintendent - Michael Kropf The greens on our golf course were originally constructed 30 years ago. They were designed to be grassed with bent grass and irrigated with potable water. The construction methods used at that time didn’t provide for any drainage except for surface drainage which allows excess water to sheet off different areas of the greens. Over the course of three decades the grass has changed as well as the water source, and now the greens are starting to show the negative impact of those changes and age.

Modern greens are constructed using various versions of a process designed by the USGA. This method is primarily designed to keep the greens firm, but at the same time allow water to leach through the sand profile and out drain lines.

Our greens are called push-up greens, which is taking native soil and pushing it into the green shape without any drain lines. When the golf course transitioned to reclaimed water that introduced high levels of salt into the soil profile.

Soil amendments, such as gypsum or other products help combat the salts, but over time the only way to truly deal with high salt levels is to leach them out of the soil profile.

With push-up greens that involves lots of aerification and topdressing. Despite all the work to remove the salts, the greens are really starting to suffer. The low areas have lost grass. These areas and the associated collars are going to be repaired throughout the rest of the summer, but over time these areas are going to get worse until the greens are rebuilt.

American casualties of World War I who were buried overseas. Along the way, the women will forge lifelong friendships as they face a death, a scandal, and a secret revealed.

At our September meeting we will discuss The Pearl That Broke Its Shell by Nadia Hashimi.

In Kabul, 2007, with a drug-addicted father and no brothers, Rahima and her sisters can only sporadically attend school, and can rarely leave the house.

Thanks to our member teachers and the crew who helped put on these workshops.

Look for more coming in the fall. Orientations are held once a month over the summer. Sign up in the studio to reserve your space and begin the journey into the world of clay.

The Pickleball Club membership voted by a large majority to accept Bob Mariani’s long-standing proposal to split the cost of building new steps and a connector pathway adjacent to Court 1. The full cost of the project was $3850; the club contributed $1925 from its own funds to offset that cost. The steps and pathway resolve a major safety issue and improve access to water, restrooms and Activity Center area.

The project was completed in July.

Maria Welch and Brenda Hawkins are working with beginners.

Tuesday, 7-8 AM is reserved for beginners to come and refresh their rules knowledge and practice with each other. Courts have been busy considering it’s only summer residents. Competitive and casual play together most of the time, and we had all five

Pilates

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

Summer is a great time to commit to a new exercise routine, so why not try Pilates? Classes are much smaller and more personal this time of year. Forty years after his death, the Joseph Pilates exercise system has never been in such high demand. Fortunately, SCOV is able to offer Pilates classes here twice per week. People ask if the benefits of Pilates, which come from the strengthening and stretching exercises, really develop the body’s core (abdomen and back muscles), increase spine mobility and build flexibility?

The answer is a firm yes. Additional benefits you’ll see from taking the group mat classes specifically designed for seniors, are better balance, more muscle tone and increased stamina. We have experienced instructors, the cost is only $8/class and annual club dues are $20 pp. Please join us or just come by and watch.

Thinking of you and what a great job you did for me as my Representative even if I already had my Buyer. I felt, however, I needed to have someone be my Rep in the final process of selling my home in Sun City, Oro Valley. You sold the home of good friends and they were most pleased; that was my good fortune! You helped me every step of the way in reading and signing all the papers in a knowledgeable, compassionate way for seniors; even helping me wrap and assist in getting my things out of the house before closing. It’s a lucky person who is fortunate to work with you! With many thanks,
