Most Village turf is a blend of Kikuyu grass that is native to the highland regions of East Africa, home to the Kikuyu people. This warm-season grass, which spreads quickly and thrives in areas with moderate temperatures, is seldom intentionally established as a residential turfgrass due to its highly invasive nature. Often referred to as a “super weed,” Kikuyu invaded the Village many years ago and has a strong foothold in the turf areas.

Landscaping Services staff asks residents for patience regarding the numerous requests made to reseed turf areas. Kikuyu goes dormant in cooler weather, often appearing dead in its dormant state. Once seasons change and weather warms, it takes several weeks for Kikuyu to emerge from dormancy and begin an extremely vigorous growth pattern. Kikuyu grass spreads quickly via its extensive underground root structure, or rhizomes, and vigorous horizontal surface stems, or stolons. Under ideal growing conditions, Kikuyu can grow up to 1 inch per day in the summer months.

Landscaping staff will review reseeding requests and over-seed where appropriate. Once the weather heats up, new seed is impractical, as it requires too much water. Water costs are at an all-time high, precluding any hot weather over-seeding.

Renovations to Clubhouse 1 began on March 4 and are expected to continue on schedule for the duration of the six-month project. This is the first substantial renovation of the 41,000-square-foot, 60-year-old community landmark that hosts a wide range of recreation and social activities since its construction in 1964. The project includes interior updates to flooring, wall coverings, lighting and fixtures in various locations within most of the clubhouse buildings, as well as door and window replacement, and painting of all exterior stucco.

Construction

The project is currently in the fifth week of the 24-week project timeline. Progress includes ongoing exterior painting and the installation of new windows, with anticipated completion dates set for April and May, respectively. The removal of restroom and shower fixtures has been successfully completed, with restoration efforts slated for completion by June. We remain on track to achieve project completion by mid-September as scheduled.

Restrictions, Updates, and Reminders

In order to safely and effectively utilize the open recreation facilities, please pay attention to the following below:

• For your safety, do not enter the gated area around Clubhouse 1. The gates remain open to allow access to contractors, but the area is closed to residents. Security will be notified if residents enter the construction zone.
• For the duration of the project, residents are only allowed one guest at a time for the pickleball courts and the Community Fitness Center, to accommodate higher foot traffic at the facilities. Time limits will be imposed on exercise equipment when the facility is at capacity.
• Parking availability will be limited at the Community Center, and wait times for amenities may be longer than normal. Residents are encouraged to use facilities/amenities during non-peak hours.
• Badminton and Light Volleyball games are being held on one of the tennis courts at the Tennis Center. We extend our gratitude to the Tennis Club and its members for graciously accommodating these additional activities.

Aquatics Alternatives

Pool 2 is still closed for annual maintenance until approximately mid-April. We encourage all to check the プールスケジュール prior to visiting.

現代の家庭では、小さな火災はそれほど珍しいことではありません。幸いなことに、適切な消火器を適切な場所に適切なタイミングで設置すれば、火災の拡大を防ぐことができます。

住宅火災の発生源として最も多いのはキッチンです。キッチンの近くには、少なくとも1つの消火器を設置しておきましょう。出入り口付近にもう1つ消火器を設置しておけば、炎が家の出入り口付近で発生した場合、より安全に避難できます。 

オレンジ郡消防局（OCFA）によると、多目的消火器（ABC）は家庭用として推奨されています。「A」は木材、綿、布などの火災を消火できること、「B」はクッキングスプレーなどの可燃性液体による火災を消火できること、「C」は通電中の電気による火災を消火できることを意味します。

消火器の使い方

消火器の使い方は難しくありません。OCFAは役立つ情報を提供しており、住宅所有者に消火器使用時のPASSテクニックを覚えておくよう促しています。

• Pピンを切る
• あ私は火の根元にいます
• Sレバーをゆっくり握る
• S左右に泣く
