50 Year Green Valley Owners - 1967-2017Green Valley Association #1 Homeowners Celebrate 50 Years Living in Green Valley

William (Gene) Powell Jr - May 1967Al & Donna Yarrington - June 1967Harry & Sheila Mendelsohn - October 1967Shirley Barlow Gauthier - December 1967

The original models for all Green Valley homes was located at Brookhurst and Warner, where Fountain Bowl currently re-sides. The town home models were later demolished. The five Green Valley original home models were relocated to Green Valley at the corner of Slater and Los Jardines West. The mod-els were then sold to new owners.

The two clubhouses were in operation in 1967. The pools came a few years later. The greenbelt was not completed in 1967 due to flood control issues, which had to be resolved when Green Valley development was completed in the early 1970’s. There were 13 sub-associations within Green Valley. Only town home associations #1, #2 & #12 retained their sta-tus.

There are many resident owners in Green Valley who have contributed to the history and great living in Green Valley. If you have a story to be told, please contact the Association of-fice.

Play Area Gets UpgradesThe play structure south of Slater has recently been upgrad-

ed. Some of the stairs and a slide were replaced a few years ago. Now the other slide has been replaced, along with a few platform pieces. The structure is safe and ready for summer!

Sand is going to be added to all play areas later this month.

The Trees That Make So Cal Shady & Green are Dying. Fast.

The Association of California Cities Orange County recent-ly issued a warning about an infestation of a tree pest call the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB) that has reached tree in Mile Square Park. A few trees in the greenbelt of Green Val-ley have also been infected and removed. The beetle has been found to attack hundreds of tree species and been confirmed to reproduce in 48 of them. The pest has caused death and removal of many thousands of trees in Southern California.

If you have a tree that has been invaded, you may not even know it. The shot hole borers are smaller than a sesame seeds, but they bore by the thousands into the bark, then line the tunnel with a species of fungi that disrupts the transport of water and nutrients from roots to leaves. Within a few weeks, their larvae hatch, mature and mate to produce new generations in the tree. Research to find successful treatment is ongoing. The best de-fense is proper watering. Unchecked by natural predators, their numbers exploded during the most severe drought on record, which officially ended last month.

Don’t transport firewood from out of the area because it may be infected. Buy firewood where you burn it. As well as con-cern for homeowners, there is also concern that the ongoing work to address the problem in the parks will be less successful unless homeowners in the area also act. Goggle and you will find numerous articles about this devastation!
