Association News

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.

Why Me?......... Why Not Me?

by Cathy Hartrich “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.” Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965).

There are some things that rarely, if ever, change, and volunteerism must be one of those things. From the greatest minds of a century to the simple minds of a child, the message is the same. Each of us is a treasure, and we have a gift to share. What is your gift and how do you want to contribute? How do you want to serve? It was such an incredible feeling for me to attend my second Hail and Farewell Dinner. To be in a room with so much talent, with such diversity, and with such wonderful people who have served this community and helped make it what it is today, made it an exhilarating evening and I was so proud to be a part of it.

So often we hear, “I’ve worked my whole career and I don’t want to work anymore.” But this is your life, not your job, unless you consider your job life itself. What do you care about? What interests you? What can you offer? Start early to get on board.

New residents have chosen to live in SCOV for a myriad of reasons. Hopefully one of those is the sense of community.

And the best way to feel a part of our community is to get involved and have fun living everyday to the fullest, doing the things you enjoy doing. If that just happens to be nothing, that’s OK......but don’t complain about what’s happening around you.

“We make a living by what we get, But we make a life by what we give.” Winston Churchill. Here’s a big shout-out to the new committee chairs who have stepped up to help SCOV be a great place to live. They will be selecting their committees and finding those individuals with talents and gifts to share. Let’s spread the workload, create our environment, have fun, be happy and continue to help make Sun City Oro Valley a premier active adult community where we live the lifestyle we help create.

Just 12 hours a year... ...can help us provide a vital service Join our Posse team today!

Value Added for Resident Golfers This article is a revision of my June 2011 Tipster article. The original piece and this one convey to our Association members and resident annual golf pass holders that we appreciate you and want to show that appreciation by adding as much value to your golfing experience as possible. Below are examples of these added values.

Pass Holders: • 30% off Pro Shop merchandise except sale items, clubs and golf balls • Annual appreciation program with a promotion every month including an annual pass holders dinner • Special rates for guests, equal of resident rates • 8 day advance tee-time (7 day for 9 hole pass in summer) • No trail fees • Golf schools at excellent rates • Driving range privileges Resident Golfers (residents who do not purchase annual passes) • Approximately 15% of rack rate green fees paid by the public •15% of Pro Shop merchandise except clubs, sale items and golf balls •15% off golf fees that are advertised to the public (excluding GolfNow) • Punch cards have no expiration date and are transfer able • 6 day advance tee times • No trail fees • Golf schools at excellent rates One more factor that is critical to many of our golfers is that all 18 holes will have over seeded fairways, greens and tees next season. Although not over seeding some holes on a rotating basis has improved the health of the Bermuda grass, it’s become clear that the best possible golfing experience for you during the greater part of the year is a more important factor.

In addition to the value added outlined above, every attempt is made to assure that our residents receive the vast majority of the premium tee times and every attempt is made to treat our resident golfers with the highest regard.

We hope that all the added value that is in place along with our continual consideration of new avenues to assure that you will have a pleasurable golf experience at the Views Golf Club will encourage you to play golf on one of the best courses in Southern Arizona if not the West.

Meet Your Friends at The Café Full beverage menu and appetizers every afternoon 3 PM to close.

SCOV is a dark community. What this means is that we are restricted on the amount of light or the brightness of the light bulbs that we use in our outside light fixtures.

Appendix F in the Development Standards highlights examples of the size of the different types of light bulbs that are acceptable either at or less than the 250 lumens that are allowed. In short, a standard incandescent 25 watt light bulb is 250 lumens. We recommend, when replacing your outside light bulbs check the number of lumens specified on most packages; then there will be no doubt.

While you’re at it don’t forget the bulbs illuminating your house numbers. Emergency personnel can come to your aide must faster (if needed) if they can more easily read your house number.

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.

On May 13, we delivered 600 pounds of aluminum cans for which we received $384. This brings our year-to-date total receipts to $2,253.80 with a total of 3,820 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.

Sun City Oro Valley Tipster, June 2014

This month’s featured artists are Curt and Sandy Gates, who make jewelry that lets you wear visitors from outer space (meteorites), fragments from Jurassic and Pleistocene days (petrified dinosaur bone and fossil wooly mammoth ivory), and treasures from under the Atlantic and Pacific (pearls and wampum).

They also specialize in stones from classic locations in the American West, including Arizona’s ruby-like ant-hill garnets from Fort Defiance, peridot from San Carlos, and amethyst from the Superstition Mountains, not far from where the legendary Lost Dutchman Mine might be located. Include some Sleeping Beauty and Kingman turquoise and you can wear a different piece of Arizona beauty every day of the week.

New consignors and volunteers are always welcome.

Government Affairs

Chair Debra Arrett 520-825-5703, debra@myfastmail.com Second Wednesday, 1:30 PM, WC1

Reminders for safe driving in SCOV: Golf carts on our streets must follow the same laws as automobiles and must be registered and licensed by the Arizona Department of Transportation and carry proof of insurance. Carts can be driven in the special use lane typically used by bicyclists, but cannot be driven in areas where the speed limit exceeds 35 mph.

For pedestrian safety, although drivers are supposed to stop for you in all crosswalks, you should proceed very cautiously; don’t take for granted that the driver will stop. Cars are very big and powerful, and the pedestrian could be badly injured if the two parties collide.

To report improper driving within the Town of Oro Valley, call the Traffic Hot Line at 229-4933. Report a specific vehicle driving improperly or dangerously by calling 911. On Innovation Parkway, when the overhead lights are yellow, you may proceed with caution. If they are red, you must stop. When flashing red, stop and proceed when safe as you would a stop sign.

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

Whether you are here or away for the summer, it’s time to remember: • 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 responsibility of the homeowner to remove.

• Trees must be kept trimmed up high enough over the side walk 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.

• On a corner lot, check the street-facing side part of your yard for weeds and/or other possible infractions of the governing documents.

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

Neighborhood Pride thanks you for heeding the above reminders. Have a wonderful summer.

Posse

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

The departure of our seasonal residents means patrol schedules are more difficult to fill. If you are not already a member of the Posse, now would be a great time to join. We ask you to go on patrol only three times a year (12 hours per year). You would be doing a great service to our community.

Website Refresh

Seven years ago a group of residents met and developed our current website. It is time (really past time) to update the website again. A group of residents have been gathered to review the current site, determine what’s needed in a new site and have the site developed.

Keeping relevant, valuable and current information handy for both residents and potential residents is one of the goals of the new site. Identifying and promoting what makes SCOV special will be a key objective. This includes the newly remodeled AFC, our golf course and our many clubs.

We are just in the beginning phases of evaluation, including meeting with experts in search engine optimization to make sure that as our site is designed it is done so to provide the most optimal position in search engines. Page placement in the search engines is a very powerful and necessary requirement for the site with regards to potential residents looking for the best place to retire. We want our site to be at the top of those pages.

There are many other considerations. Our site must meet the needs of our current residents as well as attract and provide information for future residents. We have complex information from the Board and committee work that needs to be communicated via the website. Our web club structure is also complicated as many clubs have their own webmaster. Making sure these all have a standardized look and feel, plus being easy to navigate is one of the goals of this new site. Our website will continue to include the calendar, information of how to take a community tour, a place to sign up for This Week in SCOV (communication), the ability to submit an article for the Tipster or find a vendor on our Consumer Referral list.

The task force has just begun its work. A timeline hasn’t been set for a roll out yet, but will be in the weeks to come.

We are open for input from the community regarding your vision of what is needed on the new site. As we get further along in the development of the timeline, we will keep the community updated.

Our website is complex with a lot of information. The objective (and challenge) will be to celebrate and highlight what makes us special and to design the site in a way that communicates that clearly, cleanly and is easy to navigate.

Programs/Facilities Director - Pam Sarpalius

Using The AFC

We are very happy with the great response we have received from usage of the new AFC. Many residents told us that the new facility has made them start to work out because they did not like the smaller, older gym. Some residents used to go to other gyms to work out and now they stay in SCOV. New residents are thrilled with the facility since many had a priority on their community shopping list of a good gym facility. If you see a resident in the gym that you have never seen or met be sure to say hello. Also please do not be offended if a monitor asks to see your membership card or fob. We always want to make sure our gym is for the use of our residents and their guests only.

With all that said, I would like to remind you of a hygiene matter. We suggest you wash your hands with soap and water before you use equipment and when leaving the AFC. The wipes that are provided are for you to use to wipe down equipment after usage. Washing your hands will stop bringing germs in and out of the facility.

Gym lockers are in the locker rooms and we hope you are using them. Bring a lock and your items will be safe.

Food & Beverage Director - Vince Hotz /Changes are taking place at The Café including the preparation of some of our existing menu items. One of our goals is to become a 90% scratch kitchen as opposed to our previous 10%.

We have started with potato salad, coleslaw and the majority of the pastries. The next step will be dressings, sauces, hash, sausages etc. Our hamburger patties comes in fresh from Harris Ranch in California where the beef is ground weekly. We have a grinder on site for sausages (chicken, turkey, wild boar, etc.) and special burgers (butcher’s burger, buffalo, ostrich, etc.). The hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and steak are now being prepared on a grill instead of a griddle. These changes alone make a good portion of the menu healthier in general.

Stop by anytime in the afternoon to take care of your hunger pangs. Though the grill closes at 3 PM, you can still enjoy our afternoon menu along and our full bar is available until close.

Don’t forget about our $6 hot dog and beer special after 3 PM. It is our goal to have a new regular café menu by mid-summer.

Some specials are actually auditions for new menu items. Let us know what you think. Completing a comment card provides valuable information on menu development. When you fill out the card, you will be entered into our monthly drawing for a free Café gift certificate. We look forward to serving you soon.

Superintendent - Michael Kropf June is the ugliest time of the year for the golf course. The only way to improve the conditions of the overseeded turf is to remove the winter rye grass as quickly as possible to allow the underlying Bermuda grass a chance to survive when the weather is favorable. There are many different methods and options in the rye grass removal, as well as many different decisions that need to be made on when to remove the rye grass.

Last year the rye grass was chemically removed after the fairways and approaches had already been aerified and topdressed. That process seemed to be very effective in not damaging the Bermuda grass and providing a good environment to re-establish thicker and quicker grass than in previous years when the rye grass was chemically removed prior to aerification. However, the chemical used to remove the rye grass seems to have a negative impact on the Bermuda grass that has slowed the growth process. This year, a brand new chemical is being used for transition that removes the rye grass very gradually so that playability is maintained while allowing the Bermuda grass a competitive advantage over the rye grass. This is a test trial on this chemical, and we are the first in southern Arizona to use it for transition.

Hopefully, it performs as described and both the golfers and the Bermuda grass will be happy.

Despite all the efforts to remove the rye grass quickly, the fairways and aprons will still look bad for some time.

Patience is always going to be required during the month of June, but the humidity in July will bring the green back to the golf course.

Golf Advisory

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

Please welcome Janet Kimble as new Chair of Golf Advisory.

Special thanks to Kim Griggs and Mike Kropf for all their valuable efforts in making the course ready and scheduling play over the past winter season.

Keep your eyes open for more Hit and Giggle events this fall.

Preston Sheriff was very helpful in the success of these events.

New combo tees are expected this fall. Current tees and distances will be kept (some name changes), with eight tees in total for player consideration. There will also be five new tees where the rock tees are currently located. Handicap suggestions will also be made for each of the tees.

Green and fairway plugging has started and will continue in June/July. Keep talking with your clubs about improvement ideas for the course.

Finally, do you follow the 90 degree cart rule that Kim recommends at the start of each round? If not, ask her why you should.

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.

Grilling Season Brings a Cautionary Tale

by Alex Bissett On Sunday night, April 27, we had a gas fire that completely destroyed our Weber Grill. Here is what happened: I was preparing to grill myself a hamburger. I turned on the two back burners of our grill, and came back into our kitchen to season a hamburger patty while the grill heated up.

While I was doing this, I heard a roaring noise coming from outside. When I looked out the window, the grill was completely engulfed in flames, some of which were coming out as if from a giant blowtorch. I turned on the water to our hose that was just outside our sliding back door and started spraying the fire, especially the propane tank which had become exposed by that time. Our neighbor on the other side of our wall heard the roaring noise and came running over but by that time the propane tank had emptied itself, the flames were out and the whole grill structure destroyed.

The destroyed In retrospect, I Weber grill should have been aware that something was wrong because when I lit the grill, I only got a weak flame – this with a full propane tank. I know now that gas was leaking inside the body of the grill from Photo by Alex Bissett one of the ends of the hose or from the hose itself.

Here are some of the safety precautions I should have taken and didn’t: 1. Every time you install a newly filled propane tank, check the connections on both ends of the gas hose as well as the complete hose by spraying or wiping them with soapy water.

2. If you ever smell gas when you open the grill housing, stop and check for leaks.

3. If you only get a weak flame when you turn on the grill, or if it doesn’t light right away, stop and check for leaks. Then open the hood and wait five minutes before attempting to relight the grill.

4. Get out your manual and do the periodic safety checks recommended by the manufacturer.

5. Make sure kids stay away from the grill when you are turning it on and when you are using it.

6. Make sure the grill is at least 10 feet away from your house or any flammable structure.

Although we lost our grill, I consider this a good accident.

Other than the grill itself, a potted plant, and a yard light, there was no serious damage and I didn’t get burned. When you look at the picture of the burned grill, just imagine what would have happened if I had been leaning over the grill when the fire started. By doing an Internet search, I found that there are hundreds of gas-grill fires every year and many of these result in property damage, serious injuries and some deaths.

Thank You

This section allows residents to express thanks to the community. Articles should not exceed 50 words and should not contain thanks to specific persons.

No words can adequately express my thanks and appreciation for all the kindness expressed upon my husband Jack’s death on April 18.

The Golder Ranch team showed their usual excellence and compassion. To all my friends and neighbors, thank you for all the hugs, food, cards, flowers, kind words and offers of help.

Jack and I always bragged about SCOV spirit, but you cannot really appreciate it until you are on the receiving end.

Maryann Collins and Family We want to thank all of our friends and acquaintances in SCOV who sent more than 100 cards, plus flowers, and food. You were a great support system to our family during George’s long hospitalization and afterward. George really loved retirement and enthusiastically gave his time, talent, and energy to the community. SCOV is a very special place to live and we will all miss him.

Evelyn Holthus and family We are so appreciative of all the sympathy cards we’ve received and phone calls from friends and neighbors when our daughter Terri May passed away with cancer. Thank you.

We continue our format of weekly art community discussions and a critique session wherein constructive improvement suggestions are offered. It’s quieter in the summer season and more work gets accomplished. We invite all community members who have a current or latent desire to become a fine artist to join our group and see what the magic of some paint, a brush, some paper or canvass and some collegial help can create.

June 2014, Sun City Oro Valley Tipster

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.”

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

At our July meeting we will discuss The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially challenged professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife. And so, in the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers. The Rosie Project is a rare find: a book that restores our optimism in the power of human connection.

At our August meeting, we will discuss The Last Runaway,

by Tracy Chevalier. This novel is set in Ohio in 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.

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

Corresponding Sec. Lorie Behrmann 395-1812 www.scovaz.com/clubs/havurah

Havurah just completed another season of activities combining Jewish culture with celebrations, informative programming and friendship. We are very grateful to our copresidents, Yetta and Norman Dritch, for making this such a successful year.

Our May Ice Cream Social was a big success and enjoyed by all.

The 2014-2015 board of directors, which was elected at our April general meeting, will take office on July 1.

Our official season ended in May, but Havurah will continue with activities during the summer, including our monthly Brown Bag Lunches. The next Brown Bag Lunch will be on Monday, June 2, Catalina Vista/Pusch View, 11:30 AM. In addition we are planning a Shabbat gathering in June and our annual Movie Night in August. Watch the Tipster for more details throughout the summer. Havurah sizzles all year long.

Hiking

David Fraser 825-4344 frazd36@gmail.com www.scovaz.com/clubs/hiking

This past May two new hikers participated in the orientation hike and officially became members. The club is delighted to welcome Bruce Anderson and Mike Sherrick to our ranks. The club also welcomes any others considering membership. It is a great way to explore our unique and stunning surroundings.

Right now those surroundings include the cactus displaying their spectacular blossoms ranging from white to a deep pink in color.

There is no better way to enjoy their beauty than on a hike. The blossoms are only with us for a brief period, so it is important to join a hike soon.

Summer will soon be here and we will offer a choice of hiking early or heading out to higher trails such as Mt. Lemmon or Madera Canyon. The latest hiking schedule in our newsletter offers a good variety of both. We hope to see you on the trail.

Poets Corner

Sharyn Rafieyan 825-6762 Monday, 9:30-11:30 AM, WC1

What do we see, feel, think, when returning to our roots, when visiting the cities of our birth in reality or only in memory? In Northern Motive poet Philip Levine begins with “A modest house…on the west side of the city of Detroit. The year is 1949.” He mentions an older brother who has “moved on with his bland wife into corporate America” and his mother who will “open a dress shop in a desperate neighborhood…and slowly lose her savings, so slowly that for years she’ll believe for the first time in the American dream.”

The poem concludes with “How ordinary it all was, the dawn breaking each morning, dusk arriving on time just as the lights of houses came softly on. Why can’t I ever let it go?” Why, indeed, do we keep looking back at the past?

Poetry lets us journey and, sometimes, find what we seek.

Co-Chairs Peggy Lombard 825-4833 kandplombard@msn.com Gail Barr gailbarr@gmail.com Thursday, 10-11:30 AM, AFC/Studio 1

Tai Chi improves balance, endurance, flexibility and reaction time. It also helps manage stress and prevent falls. Our instructors, Jose Hernandez-Rivera and Donna Drazenovich, stress the use of Tai Chi in daily life.

Clinical research by Tufts University School of Medicine has proven that those who practice Tai Chi twice weekly over 12 weeks experience decreased pain, improved sleep and mood, increased exercise capacity and better quality of life. Tai Chi was called “medication in motion” by a Harvard Medical School Health Publication.

Sun City Vistoso Tipster, Febraury 2011

Most monitors who are seasonal residents are gone for the summer, so there will be times when having enough monitors to keep the shop open will become a problem. Monitors who are full-time residents, please consider scheduling yourself for more times as monitor this summer to help us maintain a normal schedule.

We continue to see damaged equipment which appears to be a result of a user’s lack of knowledge of the machine and failure to follow its operating procedures. This is a very expensive problem for the club. Please, do not operate a tool or machine unless you are familiar with its operating procedures. Remember, manuals are available, and monitors and other club members will be happy to answer questions.

Some machines have special notices posted on them. Please read and follow those as well. Stay safe and have fun.

We first met Wilda when she was helping our friends Guy and Annette sell their home and buy a new one. Watching Wilda work with them made it easy to have Wilda help us when we started looking for our home. She was not only professional and extremely helpful; she made us feel like family. No question was too small and every phone call was returned immediately. Wilda makes attention to detail a priority which made our experience in home buying a pleasure.

Can’t thank Wilda enough.
