FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

Stay Cool!

Don’t Let Summer Heat Stress You Out!

Kenneth Olson, CMCA, AMS General Manager

Since the outdoor temperatures are now commonly in the 3 digit range, it provides us all the opportunity to review strategies to combat the heat during these hot summer days. The news is already full of tragic stories this summer that illustrate the lack of understanding individuals have concerning the health risks of excessive heat exposure in their outdoor activities. This month’s article on heat safety is re-printed courtesy of the Arizona Department of Health Services. Arizona is one of the hottest places on earth from May to September. Heatrelated illnesses are common during the summer and anyone is susceptible to heat-related illness. Year after year, nearly 2,000 people visit Arizona emergency rooms because of heat-related illnesses. Some heat-related illnesses could even be fatal. Over 1,500 deaths from exposure to excessive natural heat have occurred in Arizona from 2000 to 2012.

Why are Older Adults More Vulnerable?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states older adults, those aged 65 and older, are particularly vulnerable to heat illness. Age is a risk factor because older adults do not adjust as well to changes in temperature compared to when they were younger. They are also most likely to have a chronic medical condition that alters the body’s normal response to heat. Prescription medicine use is also common in older adults and can impair the body’s ability to regulate its temperature or can inhibit perspiration. Your body keeps itself cool by letting 10

heat escape through the skin and by evaporating sweat (perspiration). If your body does not cool properly or does not cool enough, you might suffer from a heat-related illness. Staying healthy during the summer is easier if you take the time to protect yourself by making sure you are drinking enough water and limiting your exposure to the heat. Follow these simple rules: n Drink water. Even people that stay mostly indoors all day should drink at least 2 liters of water per day. People that spend time outdoors should drink 1 to 2 liters per hour that they are outdoors. People that do strenuous activity outdoors should be very careful, being your body can lose up to 4 liters of water per hour during strenuous activity. You should carry water with you and drink even if you do not feel thirsty. Be heat safe and avoid alcohol and caffeine, which dehydrate the body. Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician. n Dress for the heat. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Light colors will reflect away some of the sun’s energy. It is also a good idea to wear hats or to use an umbrella. Always apply sunscreen to exposed skin. n Eat small meals and eat more often. Avoid foods that are high in protein which increase metabolic heat. n Slow down. Avoid strenuous activity. If you must do strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day, which is usually in the morning between 4:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. n Stay indoors when possible. n Take regular breaks when engaged in physical activity on warm days. Take time out to find a cool place. If you recognize that you, or someone else, are showing symptoms of a heat-related illness, stop activity and find a cool place. Remember, have fun, but stay cool!

Signs & Symptoms of Heat-Related Illness When temperatures are on the rise, watch for the following symptoms:

Thirst: By the time your body tells you that you are thirsty, you are already mildly dehydrated. n Heat cramps: Heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms due to heavy exertion. They usually involve the abdominal muscles or the legs. The loss of water and salt from heavy sweating causes heat cramps. n Heat Exhaustion: Heat exhaustion is less dangerous than heat stroke. It typically occurs when people exercise heavily or work in a warm, humid place where body fluids are lost through heavy sweating. Fluid loss causes blood flow to decrease in the vital organs, resulting in a form of shock. With heat exhaustion, sweat does not evaporate as it should, possibly because of high humidity or too many layers of clothing. As a result, the body is not cooled properly. Signals include cool, moist, pale, flushed or red skin; heavy sweating; headache; nausea or vomiting; dizziness; and exhaustion. Body temperature will be near normal. n Heat Stroke: Also known as sunstroke, heat stroke is life-threatening. The victim’s temperature control system, which produces sweating to cool the body, stops working. The body temperature can rise so high that brain damage and death may result if the body is not cooled quickly. Signals include hot, red and dry skin; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse; and rapid, shallow breathing. Body temperature can be very high— sometimes as high as 105° F. n

Stages of Heat-Related Illness Heat-related illness usually comes in stages. The signal of the first stage is thirst. Drinking water at this stage can prevent you from progressing to the more serious kinds of heat related illnesses. The next Grand Lifestyles | July 2016 | grandinfo.com

stage is muscle cramps. These cramps can be mild or very painful. If you are caring for a person who has heat cramps, have him or her stop activity and rest. If the person is fully awake and alert, have him or her drink small amounts of cool water or a commercial sports drink. Gently stretch the cramped muscle and hold the stretch for about 20 seconds, then gently massage the muscle. Repeat these steps if necessary. If the victim has no other signals of heatrelated illness, the person may resume activity after the cramps stop. The signals of the next, more serious stage of a heat-related illness (often called heat exhaustion) include: n Cool, moist, pale skin (the skin may be red right after physical activity) n Headache n Dizziness and weakness or exhaustion n Nausea n The skin may or may not feel hot The warning signs of the most serious stage of a heat-related illness (often called heat stroke or sun stroke) vary but may include: n Vomiting n Confusion

Throbbing headache Decreased alertness level or complete loss of consciousness n High body temperature (sometimes as high as 105° F) n Skin may still be moist or the victim may stop sweating and the skin may be red, hot and dry n Rapid, weak pulse n Rapid, shallow breathing n Seizures n n

NOTE: Heat stroke is life threatening. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number if you are suffering from any of the above symptoms.

General Care for Heat Emergencies

General care for heat emergencies include cooling the body, giving fluids, and minimizing shock. For specific heatrelated emergencies, follow these steps: For heat cramps or heat exhaustion: Get the person to a cooler place and have the person rest in a comfortable position. If the person is fully awake and alert, give a half glass of cool water every 15 minutes. Do not let him or her drink too

quickly. Do not give liquids with alcohol or caffeine in them, as they can make conditions worse. Remove or loosen tight clothing and apply cool, wet cloths such as towels or wet sheets or mist with water. Get the person into an air conditioned space if possible. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number if the person refuses water, vomits or loses consciousness. For heat stroke: Heat stroke is a lifethreatening situation! Help is needed fast. Call 9-1-1 or your local EMS number. Move the person to a cooler place. Quickly cool the body using any means available, including cool water and ice. If you have ice packs or cold packs, wrap them in a cloth and place them on each of the victim’s wrists and ankles, in the armpits and on the neck to cool the large blood vessels. (Do not use rubbing alcohol because it closes the skin’s pores and prevents heat loss.) Wrap wet sheets around the body and place the person in front of a fan or air conditioner. Watch for signals of breathing problems and make sure the airway is clear. Keep the person lying down.

Conversation with Ken

The Conversation with Ken session provides a good opportunity for homeowners to bring questions to the General Manager and engage in discussion in a casual format. Conversation with Ken has been cancelled for July and will resume August 17 at 6 p.m. in the Palm Center.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE ELECTION COMMITTEE

ELECTRONIC VOTING At the May Board Workshop, the subject of electronic voting was briefly discussed. It was agreed that an Ad Hoc Committee would be put together to research opportunities that will enable our Association to introduce electronic voting to our Residents. The Committee will consist of Election Committee Members Diane Hammann and Joan Mattick as well as General Manager Ken Olson, Technology Coordinator Mark Jibilian, Board Treasurer Larry Marden and Board Member Bob Aiken. Why Electronic Voting? Until now, Sun City Grand has always conducted elections via paper ballot. This includes not only Board of Director elections, but also elections conducted to effect any changes within our existing documents such as the CARE fee and age restriction changes in 2007. Not only are the costs of printing and postage a burden, but the need for so many volunteers to manually sort and count ballots adds to that burden. Simply put, the method has become archaic. Technology, the HOA industry, and State law have converged to permit homeowner associations to vote electronically – in our case, via our website, GRANDINFO.COM. The goal 16

of the newly formed ad hoc committee is to have electronic voting available for homeowners by the upcoming Board election in January 2017. Should additional time be needed to deliver the correct program, we will continue our current process for that election. We will be encouraging as many homeowners as possible to vote electronically. This will be entirely voluntary as we realize not everyone may be comfortable or able to access our website. Therefore, this will be an “opt in” process, again, entirely voluntary. Why should a homeowner “opt in?” 1. Makes voting easy, from the comfort of your home. 2. Maximizes participation as you may be traveling during election timeframe. 3. Votes are recorded instantly. 4. Assures privacy: records who voted, but not for whom. 5. A receipt assures you that your vote has been received and counted. 6. No postage to send or receive envelopes 7. No missing, undelivered, incomplete, or spoiled ballots. 8. Lower printing cost for the Association.

Homeowners who opt in will not receive a paper ballot. All information supporting the election and the candidates will be available on our website, GRANDINFO.COM. Later this summer we will begin asking homeowners who already have their email address registered with us (to receive email blasts) to sign up for electronic voting. We will also be encouraging those homeowners who do not have their email address registered to do so. Residents receive a great deal of useful information from the Association through these “blasts.” Should one want, they may choose to register their email address solely for the purpose of electronic voting. Beginning with this article, we will be providing frequent updates regarding our progress. We are currently researching the many vendors who provide the software and support needed to execute a flawless program. We will do our best to keep everyone informed as we move forward on this exciting opportunity. Should you have any questions, please contact any member of the Election Committee.

October 20, 21, 22 at 7 PM n October 23 at 3PM “PLAZA SUITE” Written by Neil Simon – Directed by Eileen Brooks Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned years before. This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart for a little sexual diversion who is more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her, or as Mother yells, “I want you to get out of that bathroom and get married!” Sonoran Plaza ~ Cash Bar for evening performances.

December 1, 2, 3 at 7PM n December 4 at 3PM “SEX PLEASE, WE’RE SIXTY” Written by Michael and Susan Parker – Directed by Gail Leibowitz Mrs. Stancliffe’s Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast has been successful for many years. Her guests (nearly all women) return year after year. Her next door neighbor, the elderly, silver-tongued Bud “Bud the Stud” Davis believes they come to spend time with him in romantic liaisons. The prim and proper Mrs. Stancliffe steadfastly denies this, but really doesn’t do anything to prevent it. She reluctantly accepts the fact that “Bud the Stud” is, in fact, good for business. Her other neighbor and would-be suitor Henry Mitchell is a retired chemist who has developed a blue pill called “Venusia,” after Venus, the goddess of love, to increase the libido of menopausal women. The pill has not been tested. Sonoran Plaza ~ Cash Bar for evening performances. Doors open at 6:30 PM and 2:30 PM ~ Tickets $12.00

MOSQUITO-PROOFING YOUR YARD The purpose of C.H.A.P.S. is to help you take care of your safety and security. With July now here and August arriving next month we are in the heart of our monsoon season. Along with the heavy rains will come the mosquito breeding season. Public health officials are calling on homeowners to help control mosquitoes this summer by cleaning up containers that can collect standing rain water, where mosquitoes breed. Females need only a teaspoon of water in which to lay eggs. Mosquitoes will lay eggs

in almost anything: a bottle cap, a candy wrapper, the folds of a patio umbrella. Last year there were 103 confirmed West Nile virus infections in Arizona, resulting in seven deaths. Now we have the added potential threat of the Zika virus. Starting now, get rid of all standing water in any containers around your house. Check your yard throughout the summer. While tipping over empty decorative pots and draining outdoor water features may not seem like heroic work, the mosquito fight could be won, for you and your neighbors, in your own yard.

The 80 year old Weighlifter from Surprise, AZ stepped up to the gray bench at the front of the room, laid down and, with a light push, Jim Hayden reached for the metal bar over his head and hoisted the 278 pound weights over his chest. Hayden broke the World Association of Bench Press and Deadlift record in the 80 -84 age group division, 242 pound weight group, Saturday May 28th. Jim then went on to break the world record in Deadlifting 314 pounds, and the Arizona record for push/pull, 592 pounds. He also received a special award for best lifter over 61 years old.

Constance and Richard Acott

Barbara Foster Executive Director, The Colonnade 623-236-3700

Constance opens a daily planner and turns it toward me. It’s covered with neatly written entries in each square, revealing a schedule packed with activities, appointments, special occasions and the like. Spend time with Constance and Richard Acott and you’ll soon learn that a schedule bursting at the seams is the norm for this cosmopolitan couple. They have lived in 26 different locales all over the world, raised four children, and worked in a variety of interesting jobs, achieving success in many areas of their lives. Richard served as a Marine pilot, then worked as an insurance salesman, real-estate company owner with Constance, lawyer, district attorney and judge. Constance worked as a nurse, stay-at-home mom, real estate agent, and public health administrator and tobacco-free advocate. They finally retired from the rat race in the late 1990s and began dividing their time between Peoria, Arizona and Ft. Collins, Colorado, Richard’s hometown, and a place the family called home for several years. After retirement, Richard took up sculpting, and like many other pursuits in his life, he jumped in full bore, taking lessons and classes in the U.S. and later in France. His striking bronze sculptures, many of which have won awards, fill the Acott’s home, which could double as an art gallery. These days, home is a cozy villa at The Colonnade, a Sun Health Senior Living Life Care community in Surprise. Grand Lifestyles | July 2016 | grandinfo.com

“Both of us decided we didn’t want to keep up a house anymore so we decided to look at retirement communities,” Richard says. They chose The Colonnade for a variety of reasons. “Our home and the grounds are beautiful and there’s so much to do here,” Constance says. Adding to the beauty of the grounds is one of Richard’s sculptures, which stands outside a community art and music room on the campus. At The Colonnade, the Acotts enjoy dining and visiting with other residents, going on outings, reading and relaxing, a new concept for the normally restless duo. The couple met in May 1958 at an officer’s club in Miami. Constance, a New Yorker, had moved to Miami to work as a registered nurse. Richard was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps who was smitten with Constance when he spied her across the room. Chemistry ensued and the two were married seven weeks later. Richard was frequently away serving his country in hot spots around the world,

including the Vietnam War where he did two 13-month tours and flew 115 combat missions, earning a Distinguished Flying Cross award and other honors. The Acotts brought their four children into the world during this time. When the children were older, Constance returned to college, obtaining her bachelor’s in nursing and a master’s in public health. She became a tireless advocate for tobacco-free initiatives in Colorado, a position that didn’t sit well with the powerful pro-tobacco interests. She chaired the original Fort Collins group that got an ordinance passed in 1984 to limit smoking in public places. From there, she led the State of Colorado Tobacco-Free Schools initiative — one of the first such programs in the U.S. — seeing it through legislative adoption in 1994. Constance received the Florence Sabin Public Health Award and an American Cancer Society Legislative award in recognition of her efforts. I wish I had more space to tell the Acott’s story because they are fascinating people, much like other residents at The Colonnade. Come visit and see for yourself. 21

FROM THE SOFTBALL CLUB

2016 WINTER Season Softball League and Division Champs Submitted by Ron Underwood Photos by Howard Sumner

The Sun City Grand Softball Club finished its 2016 Winter Season on April 16, 2016. During this softball season, 28 teams played in three weekday leagues and 9 teams played on the Saturday league. The ballplayers

Red League Champion

Sun City Awning

The Sun City Awning team managed by Andy Campbell with Scott Roberts as assistant manager finished the season with 13 wins, 5 losses, and one tie game. The team included six players that are at least 70 years old and won the league with players ranging in age between 43 and 79. The team played solid defense, hit well throughout the line-up, and won several games in the last inning. There was great chemistry among the players and it was a fun season for all. Back Row – Left to Right: Marlin Campbell, Dick Stuckey, Andy Campbell, Glenn Soles and Scott Roberts. Front Row – Left to Right: Gene Prosser, Greg Kastelic, Harold Steele, and Rod Wilterdink. Not Pictured – Jim Douglas and Blain Lutz.

and softball club members also volunteer to be league commissioners, team managers, umpires, and operators of our electronic scoreboard. In addition, we have a large crew of club members who volunteer their time to maintain the field in excellent condition for use 7 days a week. The submissions which follow were provided by the winning team managers.

White League Co-Champion

The Dick Steiman CPA team ended a successful season with a record of 14 wins and 6 losses. The team is managed by Lee Visker. For Becky Holliday and John Boland, the White league was a new experience and both played an integral part in the team’s success. Every player gave it their all, never gave up and always contributed and encouraged each other. As a team we had a lot of fun.

The Gothic Grounds Management team had a very successful season, tying the Dick Steiman CPA team with a record of 14 -6 for first place. The White league winter season teams were very well balanced in skills and every team was capable of beating the others. Strong pitching, outstanding infield and outfield defense, positive chemistry and timely hitting were hallmark traits of the team throughout the season. The team was co-managed by Dick Hansen and Mike Wunsch.

Blue League American Division Champion

Blue League National Division Co-Champion

The Paul Tone sponsored softball team closed the season with a 13-6-1 record and first place in the American division of the Blue league. This is a team of accomplished players whose softball skills and personalities allowed them to compete successfully. The players stayed positive and were encouraging to each other. After an inconsistent start, key hits from the bottom of the batting order, good pitching and fine defense led to the team’s comeback and closing the season with a six game winning streak. The team was co-managed by Sam Bernhardt and Roy Carpenter.

This was another season of competitive softball. After Manager Dave Michels and Assistant Manager Steve Coffman won the 2015 fall season representing TP Dentist, we came back and tied Reliance Pest Management as co-champions for the winter season. The team finished with a 15 – 5 record and had a team batting average of .550. We had some injuries along the way with some pulled muscles and sore arms and, as you can see in the team picture, Mark Reinsmoen’s broken foot. The team members and our substitute players all contributed to our successful season.

Back Row - Left to Right: Byron Massengale, Jerry Harris, Ron Tarko, Sam Bernhardt and Roy Carpenter

Back Row – Left to Right: Dan Sykes, Mark Glim, Jim Smith, Steve Holker, Steve Coffman, Gary Jotzke and Bill Fitzgerald.

The Reliance Pest Management team opened their season with a 13 -1 mercy loss. Rather than becoming discouraged, the team picked themselves up and proceeded to win 14 of the remaining 19 games. The team finished the season as co-champions of the Blue league National division with a record of 14 wins, 4 losses and 2 tie games. This season’s finish was accomplished by great team camaraderie, positive attitudes and a sincere joy for playing the game. There were no stars on the team as every member contributed in some way to help us share the division lead. The team was co-managed by Bob and Sue Cary.

(B.F.S. Home Warranty)

Broward won the season with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses. The season was very competitive with Broward clinching the championship on the last day of the season.

FROM THE FITNESS MANAGER We are Hosting Aquafest at Adobe on July 19 at 2 pm.

How NOT to Fall

EVERYONE IS INVITED Aqua Aerobics and Aqua Races for Fun and Prizes!

Allison Adams Fitness Manager 623-546-7463 Allison.Adams@ scgcam.com

Everyone in this Community has a similar fear – “What if I fall? Will I break something? Will that mean the end of my independence?” Let’s discuss why we fall and then give you some preventative methods to help allay that fear… First, a little doom and gloom…(but it gets better)… n 25,000 older Americans died last year from falling n 1 in 3 adults over 65 fall every year n Every year 2.5 MILLION people are treated for fall-related injuries n Falls are the leading cause of non-fatal injuries requiring medical attention

What/where are the risks of falling? n

In your home Throw rugs, pets, hardwood floors, bathroom, getting into or out of a chair, uneven walking surfaces. Your body and lifestyle Dressing without care (sit down!), medications, diabetic – neuropathy, changing medical conditions, depression, lack of exercise, failing vision, staying in a too-familiar environment (get out of the house!), turning/changing positions too quickly, decreased response time, inability to quickly regain balance, inability to negotiate obstacles, decreased flexibility, and finally “fear of falling.”

We offer “Fall Prevention Workshops” once every quarter. Learn specific exercises for staying strong and upright – and have fun at the same time. Our next workshop is Monday August 1 from 2:00 to 4:00pm in The Gila Ballroom in the Cimarron Center. The first hour is for “beginners” who have never attended a fall prevention workshop; the second hour is a little more “advanced” if you are a bit stronger. Cost is $5 at the door. RSVP to Charlotte at 480-208-0072.

Yes, you read that correctly. The “fear of falling” actually puts you at a greater risk for … falling.

You do not have to be a “fall statistic” In general, here are some tips to prevent a fall… Get out of the house • Try new things, get yourself into new environments

Be physically active • Take fitness classes, work out in the fitness room, go for a walk, bike ride, small weights at home, get a “big ball,” dance! • Build upper and lower body strength; spend an hour with a personal trainer • Watch your posture – stand and walk upright – Especially if you use a walker or cane

Watch your “gait” • No shuffling, no “half steps,” swing your arms when you walk! • No inappropriate footwear – no flip flops • Increase deep breathing

Tips to keep your balance KNEE RAISES

Here’s some easy exercises to keep you strong and on balance. 1. Get out of your chair – no arms... KNEE several RAISEStimes per day. 2. Stand on one leg… hold hold hold...other leg...(hold onto a chair or counter if you need to.) 3. Heel raises so you are standing on your toes... STAND ON then stand on your ONE LEG heels! 4. Leg lifts...one at a time

LEG LIFTS ONE AT A TIME

STAND ON ONE LEG

5. Knee raises...same KNEE RAISES thing only lead with your knee...other leg

Mary and my cat, DT Dear Mary and DT, There are times when you may end up on websites that suddenly make it appear like there is no way you can leave. If you are surfing the internet and a popup appears on your screen that will not close, try closing your browser (Edge, Windows Explorer, Chrome, Fire Fox, etc.) window. If you cannot “x out,” open the Task Manager by clicking all at the same time: Ctrl+Alt+Delete, or type in the lower left search bar “taskmgr.” When the Task Manager screen comes up, close the browser program by clicking End Task. Scan your PC immediately with the latest version of your Anti-Virus program. In addition, go to Malwarebytes.org and download a free version of the app and again scan your PC. If you are unfamiliar with or have never encountered such a pop-up, here are some tips on what to look for and what not to do: Generally, the pop-up will offer a link or phone number to call for help with whatever they claim the problem to be (virus infection, slow computer, malware, etc.). Do not call the phone number or click on a link to have someone “help you” fix the problem by allowing them to take control of your pc. When an unsuspecting person does call or click on the link provided, it is common for the scammer to ask that he or she download a program called Teamviewer, or something similar, which will allow the scammer to take control of your PC. They take over your

KEEP YOUR COMPUTER AND IDENTITY SAFE PC remotely and then reroute your PC to their own site where they will show you fake screens of files and folders that are infecting your system. In many instances they will open Windows Event Viewer and show you problems with the task scheduler, point out power loss issues, as well as viruses, malware, and other infected files and apps … all to charge hundreds of dollars to “fix” the “problems.” If somehow you downloaded a malicious app to your PC, and the pop-up is still there when you again use your browser (or if your PC slows down considerably), the problem is more difficult to fix since the program may have installed itself in the start-up folder or elsewhere on your PC. In such instances, Cappie would strongly suggest (especially if you are a novice user) to contact a reputable computer person immediately. If you are somewhat knowledgeable with computers, you can try the following fix: Go back to Task Manager and locate the name of the program

that is running and click End Task. Shut down your PC. Start your PC up again-- but this time, start it in Safe Mode. Find the program (go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a Program) and uninstall the program. You may have to disconnect your PC from the internet by unplugging the modem/router to uninstall the program. You might also want to check when programs were installed on your PC by going to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall and click on the Date Column. It will show you the date when each program was installed. If, for example, a program like Teamviewer, was installed, you can uninstall it from here. Many readers still using Windows 7 have reported emails and pop-ups where the scammer claims the PC has numerous problems because Microsoft no longer supports the operating system. They claim if you pay them for a new (fake) “Windows activation key” it will fix the problems with your PC, but it does no such thing. (A key is a 25-character code that is used to activate Windows. It verifies that Windows hasn’t been used on more PCs than the Microsoft Software License Terms allow). Cappie understands that your documents, photos, and videos are important to you so don’t wait until your device is hacked, infected with malware, viruses, or ransomware. Be proactive and take the following steps now to save your data:

Because ransomware can encrypt your data files, in addition to using an external drive for automatic backups of your computer, keep your important personal data (photos, videos, documents) on a separate external drive disconnected from your PC (and connect it only when doing a manual backup). Use a reputable Cloud computing site for data backup. Make sure you have the latest version of your Anti-Virus software and set up regularly scheduled scans. Do not open email if you do not know who it is from. Do not click on links in an email unless you are certain the sender actually sent the email and the link is to a reputable site. Change your passwords often and do not use the same password for all your applications and social media sites. Update your applications whenever you are notified to do so. If you receive a threat email, text message, or call that your private information has been stolen from a bank, credit card company, store, medical center, etc. call the establishment directly to determine the validity of the action. Do not follow instructions to call a phone number listed in the message or click on the link in the message. If identity theft did occur, file a complaint with your local law enforcement agency and the federal government. Monitor your credit card and bank accounts. Change your passwords for that site immediately. Never give your credit card or check routing number to someone who calls about the theft and says they can quickly fix the problem. On Social Media sites if you are already friends with someone and receive another request to be friends with that person, do not click yes and accept it. Contact the person to determine if the request was legitimate or if they have been hacked. Never give social media sites information such as your actual birthdate, mother’s maiden name, social security number, geographic accuracy of photos of your home or school aged children or grandchildren. Using this information could make it easier to compromise your identity. The internet is filled with wonderful sites to explore, games and videos, information resources, and social enjoyment. Common sense and following the suggestions above will keep you safer.

Monsoon Season Along with some much needed rain, lightening provides nitrogen to the soil. Each lightning bolt changes atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into nitrates or NOx compounds which are washed in to the soil by rain.

This Article was provided by Mike Secrist from Gothic Grounds Management

The monsoon season is a regular occurrence in the low Sonoran desert of Arizona. The term “monsoon” is derived from the Arabic “mauslim” which means wind shift or season. In 2008 the National Weather Service took the guesswork out of the start of the monsoon season and established June 15th as the start and September 30th as the finish of monsoon season.

The rain helps replenish water in our lakes, ponds, and riparian areas. The rain will help wash the salts away from the plants and trees and the added humidity gives them a welcome break from the heat. Rain also will allow us to save water by suspending our irrigation systems. During a steady rain is also a good time to lightly fertilize; the extra water will dissolve the fertilizer and take it to the root zone. The rain, humidity, lightning, water savings and fertilizer are all fantastic benefits of Arizona’s storm season. The high wind we can certainly do without, all else is welcomed. 39

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF GOLF OPERATIONS

The Science of Grass on the Golf Course n

Jeff Hochman Director of Golf Operations 623-546-7402 jeff.hochman@ scgcam.com

When Sun City Grand was built and was actively selling homes, the key focus for the golf courses was to have the best winter conditions and hold onto the ryegrass as long as possible into the warmer summer months. This plan worked well to help sell the homes quickly and to have the ryegrass “hang on” longer to have better playing conditions longer into the summer months. This plan proved to be negative in the long run for the health of the base grass; Bermuda grass. Every year this practice was done, it was depriving the Bermuda grass of the opportunity to have 100 days of noncompetitive growth which started to weaken the base. In 2008, it was the year that the Bermuda grass “gave up” and the conditions in the fairways were poor. It was at that time the Sun City Grand Board of Directors accepted

the plan that was presented to them by staff to put as much emphasis on summer golf as is put on winter golf. The plan included the following which include some modifications that were changed over time to improve the process. n Remove the winter ryegrass with a selective herbicide. This would remove all of the competition for the Bermuda grass and show all of the weak areas on the golf courses.

Close the courses for 3 weeks each and treat them just like a fall overseeding. Staff would aerify the golf course pulling cores. An outside contractor would then deep tine the fairways with ¾ inch solid tines. The ground was so hard the first couple of years that the tines would bend or snap. An outside contractor would spread 35 tons of sand per acre on the fairways to build them up to create a better growing condition for Bermuda grass. Put down sod in areas that have no sign of Bermuda grass growth in a 100 square foot area. This was about an acre or more of sod per golf course when the program first started and there are almost no areas today that fit the original criteria for sodding. Remain on cart paths only for 3 weeks to allow the grass to fill in. (Treat the summer transition similar to the fall transition.) Double aerify and heavily topdress the greens to create less interruptions during the summer golf when this practice needs to be done.

3/4 inch solid tines that were bent or split during the beginning years of the summer transition program

While the Desert Springs course is closed, staff will be starting on raising the irrigation heads in the fairways. This process will take about 8 weeks to complete and there will be a hole or two that is closed or modified when the course opens back up from their closure while this work is being completed. 40

Grand Lifestyles | July 2016 | grandinfo.com

In the fall, reduce the amount of seed from 700 pounds per acre in the fairways to 550 and the roughs would go from 450 to 350. This would create some off color but would be less stressful to the Bermuda grass.

The plan has been working as planned and the summer transition continues to improve each year. Staff continues to work closely with the United States Golf Association (USGA) on updated practices to continue to improve. The USGA comes out every year to evaluate the courses and they are very happy with the success of the program. All golf courses in the Southwest go through transition 2 times a year, the Fall and the Summer. Each course goes through the summer one at different times which can affect their playability/look of when you are playing it. Many things go into how well a course transitions. n Proper irrigation (head spacing, nozzles, low heads, pressure, water quality) n Course traffic/play in the winter months n Types of Bermuda grass n Overseeding practices n Weather The staff appreciates your patience and support as this necessary work is performed for the long term success of the golf program.

As conditions improve, it is easy to forget the struggles faced five years ago. Extensive sodding was needed in 2008 on No. 8 Cimarron to provide bermuda grass coverage prior to overseeding. Chronological photographs show that conditions improved in the first few years and have leveled off. The next step will be to improve irrigation uniformity.

A healthy mixture of sand and organic matter now resides above the native soil in the fairways, resulting in better playability and a healthier rootzone. Grand Lifestyles | July 2016 | grandinfo.com

CITY OF SUPRISE UPDATE

CITY DEPARTMENT REVIEW

17,635 Code Enforcement Inspections were conducted resulting in 3,496 code cases being opened.

Community Recreation Services. Approximately 180,000 persons have participated in recreation programs to date, including Youth and Adult Sports, Adaptive Recreation, Tennis, Teen Programs, Camps, and Aquatic Programs. The 2016 Spring Training season with the World Champion Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers again was a highlight of the year with over 206,000 fans attending 29 games. The result- a stadium/ season all-time record.

Economic Development. Jim Biundo Vice Mayor Council Member, District 2

As the fiscal year comes to a close, it is important to recognize the people who are on the front lines daily serving the people of Surprise—City of Surprise Staff. Following is just a sampling of some of the departmental achievements this year. Hopefully, they can reflect the breadth and depth of activity throughout the organization.

City Clerk. The City Clerk’s Office initiated a Passport service this year. Over 3,274 passports have been processed to date. Revenue for the City from this service is over $81,850. In addition, a number of voter outreach and education events have been held throughout the City.

City Court. An ATM was installed in the Court Lobby to provide users with an alternative method of paying fines and fees. The Court, in partnership with the Maricopa County Juvenile Probation Department and Dysart Schools, hosted Teen Court monthly. A highlight this year was the Arizona Supreme Court “Oral Arguments Session” held in Surprise. Communications. The City website was redesigned to enhance overall 42

user experience and be more adaptive to mobile devices. Staff also devoted considerable time to the Bell/Grand Improvement Project outreach, along with producing a number of publications, photos, videos, and media releases promoting Surprise locally, regionally, and nationally.

Community Development. There were 8,855 total reviews conducted for the first three quarters, which equates to a 64% increase from the same period in FY14/15. To date, Community Development has issued 328 Single Family Residential permits, an increase of 5% over last year, with another 2,160 “other” residential permits issued. Also, 1,692,697 million square feet of commercial permits have been issued. Total building inspections are up 67% in the first three quarters from 10,508 in FY14/15 to 15,038 in FY15/16. In the first three quarters

A major benchmark was reached this spring as IRIS-USA, a manufacturing plant based in Japan, opened its North American Corporate Headquarters in the Surprise Southwest Railplex. This marked the first of what can promise to be more headquarters choosing Surprise. Two restaurants identified in our 2015 Retail Survey as residents’ top-ten most-desired locations have selected Surprise- Texas Roadhouse and Oregano’s; and the city is in discussions with an additional five retailers/ restaurants from the list. Current projects under construction include: a Dignity Health facility, Mainstreet rehabilitation facility, Oregano’s, and new auto dealerships Hyundai and Honda.

Finance. In November, the Finance Department will assume responsibility for utility billing which previously had been contracted out. Also, as an added convenience for residents, ATM machines are being placed in nine service areas of the City.

Human Resources. The City was recognized by the American Heart Association for the third consecutive year for its Employee Wellness Program. The Phoenix Business Journal also noted Surprise as “Mid-size Healthiest Employer in the Valley.” Employee turn-over was at a low 4.9%.

Human Service and Community Vitality. HSCV conducted a full array of Neighborhood Services, Senior Services, and Veterans Initiatives during FY2016. Grand Lifestyles | July 2016 | grandinfo.com

The Department is growing the Surprise Resource Center for residents to seek out employment services, utility and rental assistance and other social services. The Surprise Resource Center is currently located at the AZ TechCelerator, 12425 W. Bell Rd.

Information Technology (IT). IT continues to update software and hardware capabilities. Security remains a priority along with replacing legacy software systems with a modern, single-source system for better integration with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web standards.

Public Works. The Pavement Preservation Program completed milling and overlaying of 6.9 lane miles of arterial streets with rubberized surface and 107 lane miles of slurry seal.

Greenway Road widening, from Litchfield to Bullard, was on target for completion at the end of June. $4.5 million has been budgeted for pavement preservation in FY17.

Water/Wastewater. Recognizing the importance of water resource, the Department conducted extensive rehabilitation of wells, pumps, water treatments, hydrant maintenance and repair, and reclaimed water treatment and re-charge.

forty-four seconds. The average response time for medical calls was five minutes and forty-one seconds and the average response time for fire incidents was six minutes and forty-three seconds, as it takes a little more time for firefighters to don protective clothing before leaving the station. Although, the higher response time for fire incidents only had a slight impact on the overall average

response time, as a majority of Fire-Medicalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calls are medical in nature.

Police. There have been over 13,600 calls for Police Department services to date. Despite a 6% increase in Part 1 crimes, the average response time is under five minutes. The FY17 budget includes funding for thirteen additional personnel.

Fire-Medical. Last calendar year (2015), the Surprise Fire-Medical Department responded to 16,449 incidents- a nine percent increase over 2014. The overall average response time during this period, not including incident processing time, was five minutes and
