Palm Maintenance
A reminder that palms should be trimmed now before they produce fruit. This avoids the mess of the flower/
fruit drop from the trees. You and your neighbors will avoid having to clean yards and pools of the debris.
Dead Plants and/or Trees
Owners are responsible for removing and replacing dead plants and/or trees. If you are replacing the dead
plant or tree with a like item, no HIA is required. If a tree is cut down, the stump must be removed (Section 6.2).
Please remember there is a two tree minimum requirement.
Shade Cloth
At this time of year protecting more sun-sensitive plants is important. Design Rules allow for the use of Garden
Shade Cloth between June 15 and September 15. Be sure to only use shade cloth specifically sold for gardening
shading in green, light tan, or black and made from a synthetic product. Only use wooden stakes or poles as
anchors. Important note: netting of any kind is not permitted on any portion of a homeowner’s lot (Section 6.2).
Ornaments / Statues / Pots / Wall Hangings – Exterior
There seems to be some confusion about the decorative items homeowners are placing in their front yard and
on golf course lots to beautify them. Do they need an HIA or not? Yes, they do.
4.17 Ornaments / Statues / Pots / Wall Hangings – Exterior
An ornament is any inanimate object, constructed with any type of material that has the sole purpose of
decoration. This may include but is not limited to statues, pots, artifacts, etc.
The maximum number of ornaments permitted in the front yard area shall be three (3). The maximum allowable
height of an ornament is forty-eight (48) inches. Statuary with nudity is not permitted.
The rear yard area of a golf course lot, within five (5) feet of the rear knee wall, is also limited to a maximum
number of three (3) ornaments. In addition to the typical submittal requirements, an owner should provide sketches
or pictures of the proposed ornament(s). Additionally, the material, color and dimensions must be provided with
the submittal. Ornaments made of an artificial material (such as plastic, fiberglass, etc.) are not permitted. The
color of proposed ornaments shall be limited to those colors that are compatible with the existing colors of the
dwelling unit. No plastic or artificial plants are allowed.
Decorative wall hangings or attachments to the front or sidewalls of a home or the back wall of a golf course
lot when visible from the street, common area, golf course, or neighboring properties will require prior written
approval from the DRC. Decorative wall hangings must be in good taste and harmonize with the existing
surroundings.

2022 Food and Beverage Focus Group Report
THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Last July, the SCSH Board of Directors formed an Ad Hoc Sub-Committee of the Food & Beverage Advisory
Committee. Part of the mission of this committee was to determine the vision and needs of the community
through the use of structured focus groups. That information is summarized below in a needs analysis to
determine key operational elements for quality, creativity, and customer satisfaction.
This was the first time in the history of SCSH that focus groups were used to formulate a community vision for
Shadows. Participants appreciated the opportunity to speak freely and the chance to elaborate their ideas more
thoroughly than by responding to a multiple-choice survey. Below are the major points of those community
conversations.
The Vision of a Community Restaurant and Café – Shadows and the Montecito Café
• An intimate and simple bistro
• Casual, friendly, and high energy
•A place to gather with friends and neighbors – an experience to be shared with those we enjoy
•A creative menu with fresh foods, wine, beer, and liquor
• Quality food and good service
• Morning pastries and coffee at the Montecito Café
• Small plates, pizza, specialty nights, and Happy Hour at the Montecito Café
continued…

…continued
Current Presenting Problems
• Outdated and small restaurant with poor decor
• Limited and uninteresting menu
• Inconsistent quality of food
• Inconsistent service
• Erratic and unpredictable operational hours
• Poor communication and marketing to the community
• Discontinued specialty and theme nights
• No dedicated bartender
• Discontinuation of weekday breakfast
• Discontinued Happy Hour
• No daily specials
• Poor reservation process
• Small bar in the wrong location
• Closed Montecito Café
Focus Group Suggested Structural Changes for a Future Shadows Restaurant
• An expanded bar area with residents able to look out at the golf course
•A separate bar and lounge area from the restaurant
• Outdoor fire pits and conversations areas
• An extended patio area
• Sliding glass doors around the patio to protect diners from heat, wind, and flies
• An enlarged kitchen and kitchen storage area
The majority of focus group respondents felt that, although the structural changes to Shadows would
greatly enhance the dining experience, the primary mission should be quality, efficiency, and consistency in the
basic food and beverage operation. The Food & Beverage Advisory Committee has consolidated the input
from the resident focus groups in a needs analysis that identifies key operational elements for SCSH customer
satisfaction.
Focus Group Needs Analysis
1. Consistent Operating Hours
a. Discontinue catering and banquets during the current labor shortage to maintain Shadows Restaurant’s
hours of operation.
b. Hire additional cooks, servers, and bartenders to fully staff Shadows Restaurant from 8 am to 8 pm.
c. Establish uniform training for all new hires and current staff to maintain consistency of service.
10 | June 2022ASSOCIATION NEWS |

b. Full lunch menu
c. Full dinner menu

f. Gluten-free and vegetarian options available and designated on all menus
g. Daily specials
h. Menu changes every quarter with new and creative options
3. Implementation of Specialty and Theme Nights every week

d. Introduction of music on the patio or in the restaurant
4. Repurposing of the Montecito Café
a. Morning coffee and pastries available from 7 to 10 am
b. Pizza and Small Plate menu available for Happy Hour – purchase of Impinger Oven
c. Specialty and Theme Nights such as Taco Tuesday, Montecito Nights, Barbecues
5. Improvement of Physical Ambiance in Shadows
a. Paint change from dark green to soft gray for interior trim
b. Acoustic ceiling panels
c. Fly abatement program
d. Lighting evaluation – chandelier replacement
6. Feasibility Study for Future Physical Plant Improvements
a. Enlargement of kitchen work area and storage area
b. Relocation and enlargement of bar area
c. Extension and enlargement of patio area
d. Enclosure of patio area with sliding glass doors to protect the patio from heat, wind, and flies
e. Addition of a separate bar and lounge area
f. Addition of outside patio seating with fire pits
The Food & Beverage Advisory Committee would like to thank the homeowners who took the time to reach
out and contribute to the betterment of our community.

Salmon must leap over Brooks Falls to reach spawning grounds.
GRIN AND “BEAR” IT
STORY AND PHOTOS BY RALPH OLSON
My alarm clock was armed but not needed. This was
the day I had planned for two years. It would combine
aviation, photography, and nature, with all three
playing a major role. The time was 3:45 am, and I was
ready to go.
The small plane took off from Anchorage, AL, and
headed southwest to Katmai National Park. Ninety
minutes later we landed on a gravel runway, deplaned,
and walked a short distance to a seaplane for the
10-minute flight across Naknek Lake. We coasted to
shore and entered a small cabin which served as a
classroom. I was about to get a crash course in how
not to get killed by a bear.
An hour later we were on the mile-long trail to
Brooks Falls, a six-foot-high waterfall where brown
bears, also called grizzly bears, feed on spawning
sockeye salmon. It was mid-July with the salmon run Visitors must attend a bear safety class.

catching salmon without disturbing the natural setting. The platform can get crowded, but the Park Service
limits groups to one hour of bear viewing
Bears have the right-of-way through the park and,
if one chooses to nap on the trail to the falls, it creates
what the Park Rangers call a “bear jam.” I lost total
track of time while on the platform, but soon our
group realized we had been there almost three hours.
Sure enough, we were told that a bear and cubs
had decided to nap on the trail. I was on the beneficial
side of a “bear jam.”
Bears fish above and below the falls.
A mother and cubs napping on the trail.
Sometime later the bear moved on, and we hiked
back to the lodge for our flights back to Anchorage.
It was one of the most memorable days of my life, and
I tip my hat to the sleepy bear that made it last just a
little bit longer.
Until next time…keep exploring!

Now you might expect, because we were so lucky

probably would never witness it again in our lifetimes.
Not so! Our next encounter was so unusual, though,
that I think it would qualify for the Guinness Book
of Records if there were a category for observing
the flash.
About a year later, my wife, Betty, and I were in our
beloved airplane, Amelia, flying from Santa Barbara

slipped into the ocean. Our house had
an unobstructed view of the horizon, thus
offering a good vantage point.
So we poured ourselves a glass of wine
and walked out on the backyard lawn to

disappointed that she hadn’t been watching. As we
discussed the event, suddenly the “pilot” in me kicked
in and I said, “Let’s see if I can make this happen
again!”
I put Amelia into a climb, thus bringing the sun back
into view, I leveled off and we watched in awe as, once
again, there was the Green Flash! Wow! I wondered
how many times I could do that: climb, bring the sun
up, watch it set, see the flash, then do it again and
again! As we reached 11,000 feet, I announced,
“That’s the end of that, who would ever think that was
possible?” We must have seen it five or six times! Truly
an event we will never forget!
After those experiences, we couldn’t help wondering
if we would see the flash every time we watched the
sunset. But that was not to be.
My next “sunrise-sunset” adventure occurred about
a year later. After attending a convention in Florida.
I had volunteered to drop off a friend at the airport for
a very early departure time. After that, I had planned

MIKE DUNLOP | GENERAL MANAGER, SHADOW HILLS GOLF CLUB
A new month is upon us, and warmer weather is on its way. We wanted to share an article that was published
last month about one of our own. I’m positive many of you know Hank Bierman, but many may not know his
story. We have attached a clipping from the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame magazine that honored
Hank in April. We appreciate his dedication to helping our golfers get to the tee on time.
Please check the summer hours for play. With the warmer weather, we will close the shops on both the South
Course and the North Course at 1 pm. We have met with a few organizations and made a few changes to their
start times for the summer. Again, please check the calendar for any special events taking place and plan your
schedule accordingly.
As the amount of play on the golf course goes down in the summer, the amount of maintenance goes up. In
a way, the process for overseeding starts June 1. Having the best Bermuda base possible will provide a better
playing surface for the winter months and help make a smoother transition in the spring.
We will be aerifying the entire golf course as much as possible during the months of June, July, and August.
The courses will be closed for greens aerification and any extra tees and fairways that we can do; but we will
also be doing aerification work while the courses are open, as well. There will be days when turf plugs will be
drying in the sun, waiting to be crushed or collected.
During the month of September, the Bermuda grass will heal and grow in. We will also start applying
pre-emergent herbicides to areas not overseeded. This is like preparing a room for paint. The pre-emergent is
the masking tape we use to give us a clean edge, and as you know, the key to a good paint job is all in the prep.
