Time to Trim the Palms

From Cyndi Alto

Just a friendly reminder about getting your tall palms trimmed. The deadline in Esperanza Estates to have your palm trees trimmed is June 30. The dry fronds are a fire hazard during monsoon season, and a spark can catch them on fire in an instant.

Homeowners can hire anyone they desire to do the work. EE has an agreement with Monstrosity Tree Service for $90/tree which they will honor for everyone in EE. Trees untrimmed by June 30 will be trimmed by the HOA, and homeowners will be billed $100/tree. Please call Cyndie Alto 509-881-7569 with questions.

Thanks to everyone who has already taken care of their palms!

Gardeners’ work parties are cancelled until the weather cools in the fall. Thank you to all the volunteers who help throughout the year to keep our parks and common areas looking good. You are greatly appreciated!

Good to Know

Spotting Three Scam Identifiers

Source: Green Valley Sheriff Auxiliary Volunteer's Scam Squad

Can you spot a scam? Scammers are really good at hiding their identities and intentions when separating you from your money. It doesn’t really matter what the scam is. Just about all of them have three things in common. We’ve shared these before but here’s a brief reminder of three scam identifiers to watch out for.

Immediate action required. Scammers always need you to act now (before you figure them out). If the offer requires immediate attention or you’ll lose out, then you should opt to lose out.

You are asked for personal information. Your bank already knows who you are. Your brokerage knows that too. So does the IRS. If your unsolicited offer requires personal information, hit delete. It’s a scam.

Unusual payment types. Scammers don’t like to leave a paper trail so they’ll want your payment to be as untraceable as possible. You’ll be asked to set up a wire transfer or use a payment app. Never use these if you don’t know who you are dealing with. And a favorite: while you’re on the phone with the scammer, drive to a store and buy some gift cards, then read the cards’ id numbers. Don’t ever do this.

Heat Awareness

Source: Arizona Department of Health Services

The summer heat is here again and with it comes triple-digit temperatures that last through September. The high temperatures we experience in Arizona can be more than just unpleasant. Extreme heat can increase the risk for heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke. In 2022, Arizona hospitals saw 3268 heat-related emergency department visits and a record 671 deaths occurred. Communities most affected in the state have been in southwest and central Arizona.

Preventing Heat-Related Illness

Your body keeps itself cool by letting 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.

Anyone can be susceptible to heat-related illness. Those at greatest risk are infants and young children, adults over 65, people who are homeless, people who are overweight, people who overexert during work or exercise, and people who are physically ill or on certain medications, such as for depression, insomnia, or poor circulation. Heat-related illness may be serious or even deadly if unattended.

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:

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, which dehydrate the body. Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician.
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.
Eat small meals and eat more often. Avoid foods that are high in protein which increase metabolic heat.
Monitor Those at High Risk. Check on friends, family, and neighbors for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Infants and young children, of course, need much more frequent watching.
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.
Stay indoors when possible.
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!
