2010 Census Associations have been asked by the Census Bureau to remind owners that every 10 years a census is conducted and that next year each household will be receiving a census questionnaire. The census is a massive effort to count every person living in the United States. The results of the census provide data that will be used as the basis for the apportionment of the members of the US House of Representatives among the states, and government funds are distributed based on census data. The key to a successful census is having every household fill out and mail back a completed census form. The 2010 Census will have one of the shortest census questionnaires in the history of census taking in the US and should only take about 10 minutes on average to complete. When you receive your questionnaire, please take a few minutes to fill it out and put it back in the mail.

Making Sun City Shadow Hills A Pleasant Place To Live At the September 14 Board meeting, the Board reviewed the four rules that were out for a 30-day comment period. The “Kiln Rules” and the “Kitchen Rules” were approved by the Board. The “On-Street Parking Rules” and the “Fitness Rules” were denied with requests of staff to make changes and re-submit to the Board for review. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Association, please call the Association office at (760) 345-4349. The staff is looking forward to helping you.

In fact, our country leads the world in Halloween revelry, although the holiday is also widely celebrated in Canada. In the British Isles, particularly in Ireland where Celtic culture remains strongest, trick-or-treating in costume, bonfires, and pumpkin- carving are popular. Much of continental Europe does not celebrate the holiday at all, evidently seeing it as overcommercialized and “too American.” Many Europeans nonetheless light candles in their homes in memory of the departed on All Hallow’s Eve (October 31), the day before All Saints Day.

Notes of Appreciation

I had a wonderful time at the TYE DYE class taught on August 8 by Judy Baker Kleckner and her helper, Vivian Chertok. Judy made it so much fun for everyone, helping us "create” the perfect shirt, shorts, etc. I felt like a little girl again as we certainly did a lot of laughing while we “played with the paint.” Just wanted to thank Judy and Vivian for all they did for us and all the time and effort they put into making it a fun day. I had so much fun that my daughter came to the desert the next week and we tye dyed. Sincerely,

Bobbie Neustel

Overseeding Time For you lucky homeowners with lawns, it’s time to overseed again. The Design Review Guidelines state: ”all front lawn areas must be overseeded on an annual basis (generally September-October) with a winter rye grass. Overseeding must be accomplished by November 30 of each year.” Picking the correct time to overseed is crucial. If you do it too early, the hot temperature will make it hard for the seedlings to survive. Too late, and it will take a long for the grass to establish itself. What you are looking for is a combined daily temperature (high and low) of 150 degrees. Example: a high of 90 and a low of 60 degrees . At this warm temperature, the rye grass should start growing in about five days. If you wait until the end of November to overseed and the low temperature is in the 40s, it will take about two weeks for the seed to germinate and your lawn will fill in slowly. Normally, you should be able to overseed around October 21, but monitor the 150 degree rule. Water to keep the seed wet until it germinates; then, start cutting back on your watering time. The seed has enough nutrients to sustain itself for about two weeks, but after that you must fertilize to keep your grass growing. You can use a 15-15-15 or other “starter” fertilizer. Then, every two to three weeks until the low temperature reaches the 40s, use 21-7-14. 15.5-0-0 is good during the winter.
