The President’s Message

B y the time you read this, Oceana will have a new General Manager – Patricia Orlando. The Board

and I are extremely pleased that Patricia has agreed to take this leadership posi-tion with Oceana and we are confident that she will make living in Oceana even better than it has been.

Patricia brings a wealth of experience to her new job, both as a property manag-er and in various business and management positions. This includes having built and run her own small business. Patricia spent many years in property management in the San Francisco area before moving to Southern California to be closer to family and assist her parents. Now living in Vista, she will have convenient access to Oceana and be a good neighbor.

In addition to her management exper-tise and leadership skills, Patricia brings a very positive outlook to the job and shows excellent judgment, communication skills, problem solving abilities and a friendly and caring attitude.

So, as you encounter Patricia please welcome her to Oceana and find a way to contribute to her success and the im-provement of Oceana.

Tom Trompeter

I f you have access to the inter-net, there are several websites

that can help keep you up-to-date on Oceana and your local community. And if you find this newsletter in black and white to be bland, check it out on the Oceana website. You will find it repub-lished there in livid color!

Oceana Senior Emergency Response Team (OSERT)

“Helping You Prepare for Emergencies”

L et’s just talk about our stuff. Yes…our stuff. Most injuries and damage

during a quake are caused by falling stuff. While California law requires we secure

our water heaters to studs in the wall with straps, it doesn’t require other heavy items to be secured. Think about it. Most refrigerators weight between 200 and 250 pounds. In a major earthquake it could topple over and injure or kill you, not to mention the stuff that flies out. But for about $15 you can purchase a shake strap kit to secure it. That’s inexpensive when you consider that replacing your fridge could be over $2,000.

Look around your home. What other items do you have that could be a hazard if they fall over in a quake? Do you have books cases, entertainment centers, tall dressers, televisions? There are straps available for just about anything you can imagine, and most hardware stores carry them.

Now let’s consider the small fragile stuff we have on our shelves and cabinets. While most are not priceless, many have sentimental value. Consider spending $5 for a package of museum putty. To use it, clean the item and area on the shelf, make

Share & Wear

H appy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa

and a Happy New Year to all!. I am happy to report that Share and

Wear has had a successful year, and I am looking forward to another great year in 2017.

A big “Thank You” to all of our Volun-teers, without them there would be NO Share and Wear. And a special Thank you to Shirley Clinton (my right hand woman) Assistant manager/scheduler, for step-ping up while I am away.

Share and Wear will be closed Dec 26th, 2016 thru Jan 01,2017 and will reo-pen on Jan 2,2017 see you all next year.

Linda Garcia, Manager

a couple of small balls of the putty and affix them to the bottom of the item. Then gently press the item onto the shelf. Voila, your precious keepsake is secure.

Protect yourself and your stuff. It’s easy and it’s inexpensive—well worth the time and effort.

Activities Committee

S eason’s greetings from the Activities Committee. We hope that you are

enjoying our 2016 events. “Thank You” to everyone who has

completed the Activities Survey. We will be meeting this month to tally the results of your comments and requests and pre-paring for 2017! We will make every ef-fort to ensure it is an exciting year.

A special “Thank You” to all of our volunteers! Our events are successes be-cause of your support, and we appreciate each and every one of you. We cannot do it without you!

Maggie Coffin, Chair

Paint Color Selection Sub-committee

T he Paint color selection committee is a subcommittee of the Archi-

tectural & Facilities Maintenance and Re-serve Committees (FMARC).

The subcommittee is in the process of choosing paint colors for Unit “9” which is to be painted no later than January. Once Unit 9 selection is complete and ap-proved by the ARC, FMARC and BOD’s several presentations will be offered for all homeowners. Because of time con-straints of the Hilltop Highlights the where & when for presentations to see what colors will be offered Unit 9 will have to be posted at the Admin office & the Club House. Unit 9 homeowners will receive hand-delivered notices of times for viewing.

We have been meeting every Tuesday Evening at 6 P.M. in the Club House. Eve-ryone is welcome to come and see our pro-cess. Once we start working on the next units in line for painting, the meetings will go to twice a month. The meeting times will be posted in the Highlights.

Landscape Committee

Have landscape questions?

R epresentatives from Green Leaf and the Landscape Committee are

making themselves available for Q&A in the card room of the Clubhouse at 8:30am before the open BOD meeting each month. Your questions will be ad-dressed and further information provid-ed at these Forums.

The next meeting of the Landscape Committee will take place in February, 2017. The specific date will be announced well in advance. During this break, the Committee will be working to improve, re-vise, streamline and enhance the process-es by which Oceana’s landscape is main-tained and improved.

We have already developed a new Landscape Service Request Form for homeowners to report issues or request services. Thus, there will be one form for all landscape items. More significantly, the Committee is working diligently with Green Leaf Industries and the BOD to put in place a long-term plan for managing the landscape throughout Oceana. We are confident that we will all enjoy and appre-ciate the coming improvements. The Town Hall Meeting on December 3rd at 10am will be partially devoted to landscape and the Committee.

Happy Holidays!

Reader’s Theater

T hank you to all who attend-

ed our event on Nov. 6. We had a good crowd and a fun time.

There will be no Theater event in Dec. Stay tuned for exciting presentations in 2017.


Notices & Reminders

A Reminder Our OCA Rules & Regulations state

there is to be NO car washing or car re-pairs done in our community. This applies to your driveway or in your garage or car-port.

Bridge Players Needed Have you ever played Duplicate

Bridge? It is the same card game that you already know – only the scoring is different. The same hands are played by all of the partnerships and the East-West pairs compete for the best score against all of the other East-West pairs. The North-South pairs do the same. Because of this, you can finish in first place even if you had lousy cards all day! If you have played bridge but never played du-plicate bridge, you will be able to learn in just a few minutes. We will be delighted to teach you.

We meet at 12:30 each Wednesday in the Card Room (just opposite the kitchen) and are look-ing for new players to join us. If you already have a partner – that’s great. If you don’t, come anyway and we will pair you up with someone.

For more information call: George Jewell at

760-966-1032 or Lee Crehan at

760-754-8864.

Get Ready for the Up-and-Coming Tax season

As always, there are changes, so let the professionals of AARP Tax Aide pre-pare your federal and state returns.

A Big Change! Due to Identity theft, the IRS is requesting that people who normally do not have to file Federal Returns please file. This enables the IRS to identify social security numbers being used by others & shows who might be us-ing your social security number to claim exemptions on their return.

The AARP/IRS pre-parers will be on site at Oceana. This year we start Wednesday, Feb-ruary 1, 2017. The loca-tion will be in the Art Room and will be by ap-pointment only. Appointments will begin at 9 A.M and the last for a day will be at 12 noon.

You can make your appointment at the Administration Office starting January 9th. Shut-in’s, please call Tain at 760-777-2544.

Remember to bring last year’s return to your appointment.

See you in February. Tain Soreboe

Scam Alert

(This is a repeat from last month, but well worth repeating.)

The following email came from one of

our residents. We are repeating its con-tents here for your information.

“I was scammed yesterday and I think

we should get the word out. This is a new one.

I received a phone call from a Sgt. Mattingly from the San Diego courts. I had failed to appear for jury duty and I would have to come down and compare my signature and post $1985.00 bail. I told him I did not have a car and he said then he would send someone up to get me and they would hold me until I could post the bail. He said that the payment was to be in cash, that as of the first of the year the courts no longer accept credit cards or checks. I would have to get a green dot money Pak only available

Continued Notices & Reminders

A Change in Your Insurance Premium Assessment

The new year is bringing a change in how insurance premiums for the Association’s common areas are levied.

The previous practice of billing each homeowner in March for the entire annual fee is suspended. Instead, beginning Jan-uary 1, 2017, your regular monthly as-sessment will be increased by an amount that will cover your annual insurance bill. We estimate this will result in an in-crease in your monthly assessment in the range of $14 to $32 per resident. Your net assessment for the year will

not change. The total of the monthly increases will equal your current annual assessment for insurance for the Associ-ation’s common areas.

Happy New Year!

from Rite Aide stores. Then I would call this Sgt. and give him the voucher num-bers and proceed on to the court house in Vista. I did go to the bank and draw out cash and headed for Rite Aide, The clerk there talked to me and advised me to go to OPD with this story. I did and the police department said they had heard of this and not to worry, it is a scam.

Sgt. Mattingly was very convincing and had all the answers. We need to get this word out to our residents! Can you help in doing this?”

Yes, we can!

Landlord/Tenant Rules for Living in OCA

Offsite owners relinquish the right to access Association amenities such as swimming, workshops, etc. to their tenant and are expected to pass down to the tenant the Clubhouse Key. Keys are issued to homeowners only, who are responsible to supply the key to their tenant and re-trieve the key from the tenant at the termination of the rental agreement.

Owners are responsible for all actions of their tenants and guests. It is the re-sponsibility of all owners to give a copy of the OCA Rules & Regulations to their ten-ants. It follows that owners are responsi-ble for tenants following these regula-tions. Violations will be addressed, and possibly fines assessed, to the owner. Owners are responsible to instruct ten-ants to comply with the submission of Age Verification forms and vehicle registra-tions.

Owners should remind tenants that no businesses are permitted within the OCA community, no more than three pets are allowed per home, and all pets are re-quired by City of Oceanside ordinance to be on a leash at all times when outside a home.
