We kindly ask that you refrain from winter activities on both of our golf courses during the winter season. We do not allow tubing, tobogganing, sledding, saucering, skiing, snowboarding, etc., on either golf course in the winter. Damage caused by this activity becomes apparent in the spring and playing conditions are greatly sacrificed. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

GOLF TIP
Stuart Smith—PGA Director of Golf
W
hile the winter months don’t necessarily mean you’ll stop playing golf altogether, you’ll likely struggle to play anywhere near as many rounds as you would during the summer. Whether the ground is frozen or the weather too cold and wet, for some people the winter is a season to put the clubs away for a few months and take some time away from the golf course. But just because you aren’t playing golf doesn’t mean you can’t improve your game.

Winter Homework
The winter is a good time to look at your game and analyze the things you have done well and what you can do to improve next year. Think back or check your scorecards and consider your best and worst rounds of the year. In both cases, you will probably not need to think too hard – these rounds tend to stick in the memory quite well for obvious reasons. Think carefully about the day when you played your best round. How did you feel on that day? What was the best part of your game? Was there anything you did differently to previous rounds? Having completed the above tasks, you can start planning what you need to do ahead of the spring – get your mind engaged in the good. A great read that is pertinent to this idea is Be A Player by Lynn Marriot and Pia Nilson. And if you’re willing to invest 60 hours, Tabatha Gold is a great program. I highly recommend both.

any of our community members have asked how we might support homeless pets and local pet shelters. It’s a wonderful idea, and so we’ve added new donation boxes for dog and cat donations! Items such as dog and cat food, water and food bowls, toys, leashes and collars, brushes/grooming tools, pet beds and towels are desperately needed. From time to time, we will add a list of a specific shelter’s needs so that we can help all area pet shelters. Please bring your donations to The Club at Town Center. For more information, contact the concierge desk at 787-4500.

COMMUNITY PROFILE

A
re you a mom? A grandmother? An aunt? A friend? Do you know a girl who you want to ensure knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams? Welcome to Girls on the Run (GOTR) – where we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind – using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Since 2012, Girls on the Run – Sierras has inspired more than 2,000 girls in the Reno-Tahoe community and serves approximately 500 girls annually. Girls face social pressures and conflicting messages about how they should act and who they should be. Studies show that by adolescence, girls’ confidence drops about twice as much as boys.’ Friendships become more complicated and challenging, girls’ perception of their academic ability declines, the likelihood of anxiety and depression increases and participation in physical activity plummets. At Girls on the Run, we believe that not only can we change this stat but that every girl is inherently full of power and potential. By knowing they are the leaders of their lives, GOTR girls can change the world. Through our programs, which run in the fall and spring, trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd through 8th grade develop essential skills to help them
navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. Our girls focus on the 5 C’s, which include confidence, character, care, connections and competence. Our lessons help build girls’ self-worth and give them greater confidence. As they gain awareness of the power they possess, girls learn to choose positive actions which demonstrate respect and responsibility. Over the course of the season, girls learn to respond to others and themselves with care and compassion. At the end of ten weeks, our girls impact our community through a service project and complete a celebratory 5K event, GOTR girls have the skills to nurture their physical, social and emotional competencies that they can apply in other areas of their lives. In a recent independent study, 97 percent of girls said they learned critical life skills at Girls on the Run that they are using at home, at school and with their friends and 7 out of 10 girls who improved from pre-season to post-season sustained improvements in the 5 C’s or physical activity beyond the season’s end. We are making a difference in the lives of girls in our community daily. While more than 50 percent of the girls in our program come from low-income families, we have never turned away a girl due to her family’s inability to pay – entirely because of the generous donations of hundreds of members of our community. We are always looking for passionate individuals to join us by coaching or supporting our work to inspire even more girls. Learn more at girlsontherunsierras.org – Dads and uncles always welcome too.

THE VUE/VILLAGE HOMES SOLD SINGLE FAMILY HOMES 39 Homes Sold
Since January 1 of this year, there have been 110 homes sold (as of December 10) compared to 89 for all of last year. This does not include Del Webb or the Village and the Vue. The average dollar per foot in 2016 that homes sold for was $192.00 and in 2017 it was $211.00, for an increase of 9%.
DEL WEBB HOMES Since January of this year, there have been 92 Del Webb homes sold compared to 79 sold last year and reported through our MLS system. In 2016, the average dollar per foot that homes sold for was $219.00. It all comes down to location on these and whether or not they had a view. So far this year, the average price per foot for a Del Webb home was $233.00, for an increase of 6%.
THE VUE AND VILLAGE Since January of this year, there have been 39 homes sold. The average selling price was $146.00 per foot in 2016 and $161.00 per foot in 2017 for an increase of 9%. That is great news for this product, it typically lags Del Webb and regular single family homes in Somersett. For the last two years, these units have done actually better than a single family home or a Del Webb home. There is definitely more demand in the Village than the Vue (better location) and the Village would have sold for more than the Vue. There is still a huge demand for this type of product in Somersett.

UNDERSTANDING ACID REFLUX AND ORAL HEALTH
I
t’s common to experience gastroesophageal reflux — otherwise known as acid indigestion, acid reflux or heartburn — every so often. But heartburn also is a symptom of a chronic condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which affects about 20 percent of the U.S. population, according to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse. What is acid reflux and GERD? Acid reflux occurs when muscles of the lower esophagus relax and allow stomach acids to flow upward into the esophagus and even the mouth. These stomach acids can cause irritation and inflammation of the esophagus. Acid reflux may progress further, developing into GERD. In patients who have GERD, the esophageal muscles are unable to keep stomach acids from flowing upward, causing corrosion of the esophageal lining and the uncomfortable burning sensation associated with heartburn. • Heartburn • Difficulty swallowing • Regurgitation • Burning sensation in mouth • Sore throat discoloration of teeth • Halitosis (bad breath) and belching
• Chronic coughing • Erosion of tooth enamel • Tooth sensitivity • Chipping and • Nausea, vomiting
Talk with your dentist about your symptoms if you’re experiencing them more than twice a week, as this could be an indicator of a chronic condition.
How is GERD treated? Although GERD is a chronic condition, its symptoms can be treated using medications and by making lifestyle modifications. In addition to taking over-the-counter antacids and prescription H2 receptor blockers, you can reduce GERD symptoms by: • Avoiding beverages such as alcohol and coffee, as well as chocolate and spicy/greasy or tomato-based foods • Quitting smoking; smokers are more likely to develop GERD • Avoiding eating several hours before bed, or lying down two to three hours after eating • Losing weight if you are overweight or obese • Not wearing tight-fitting clothing
How can I protect my teeth against acid reflux? Practicing good oral hygiene is the best way to prevent acid reflux or GERD from damaging your teeth and causing decay. In addition to brushing for two minutes twice a day, you can: • Visit your dentist regularly for a tooth enamel evaluation. • Use a toothpaste that’s formulated for sensitive teeth. • Do not brush your teeth for one hour after you consume acidic foods or drinks. • Dissolve baking soda in water and swish the water in your mouth after you experience acid reflux. • Ask your dentist about fluoride treatments to strengthen your teeth. • Ask your dentist about wearing a mouthguard at night to prevent acid from damaging your teeth. • Avoid over-the-counter antacids that have a high sugar content. If you believe you may be at risk for acid reflux or GERD, speak with your dentist or physician.
How does GERD affect my oral health? In addition to damaging the esophagus and increasing your risk of esophageal cancer, over time, GERD can erode tooth enamel. Research indicates tooth enamel begins to erode at a pH, or acid level, of 5.5. With a pH of less than 2.0, your stomach acid can easily damage tooth enamel and cause increased tooth sensitivity, decay, discoloration and chipping.

Assessment Reminder
Rules & Regulations Spotlight
Assessments are due on the first of each month and are overdue if not paid by the 30th of the month. A late fee of $25 will be posted to accounts not paid by the 30th of the month. Accounts 60 days past due will lose clubhouse and/or Canyon Nine privileges. Accounts 75 days past due will be sent to collections.
Assessment Payments Submitted Online (via Paylease) Did you know you can pay your monthly assessments online from the FirstService Residential website? Payments submitted online go through a third-party payment processing company called ClickPay. Payments submitted through ClickPay will, and typically do, take up to three business days to be credited to your assessment account. Please keep this information in mind for last-minute assessment payments as payments received after the 30th are subject to a $25 late fee. ClickPay charges a fee for payments made by debit or credit card. There is no fee if you pay by e-check. For an extra fee, you may arrange to have a payment posted within one business day. You may also submit payments to the SOA office, via check or money order only.

HOLIDAY DECORATIONS Holiday decorations may be installed up to ten days before a holiday, and must be taken down within ten days after the holiday, with the exception of the December holidays. December decorations may be installed at Thanksgiving and must be removed by January 31. The Association, Association common areas and commercial buildings are excluded from this provision.
SNOW REMOVAL & STREET SWEEPING Snow removal and street sweeping within the sub-associations of the Village and the Vue are the responsibility of the sub-associations. Other private streets within the Association will be snow plowed when there is an accumulation of three inches on the street. Streets will be swept within a reasonable timeframe following the last snowfall to clear the streets of sand and debris. For snow removal and sweeping issues on city-owned streets, contact the city at 3342099. Homeowners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalks adjacent to their property. The Association will plow the common area pathways/sidewalks along the three major parkways (Somersett, Del Webb and Somersett Ridge) if there is still snow on the walkways within 48 hours after the end of snowfall.

Our Philosophy of Care:
Over 25 years creating Meaningful Moments®
To care for each individual with dignity and respect and join you in honoring them.
Earlier this year my mother became a resident of Stone Valley. Unfortunately, she passed away too soon; however, by the time she did, we had all become part of the Stone Valley “family.” While my mother was there, we were reassured and so thankful for the level of care and love she received every day from the entire team. —Leslee P.
