SOMERSETT LIVING

Grateful for a wonderful year, excited for what’s ahead

As we welcome a new year in Somersett, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to our residents for your continued engagement, support, and passion for this community. Winter is always a special season here crisp mornings, breathtaking mountain views, and a sense of renewal as we turn the page into 2026. A Wonderful December in Somersett

Before looking ahead, I’d like to thank everyone who joined us for our December festivities. The Christmas Tree Lighting brought an incredible turnout and filled The Club at Town Center with holiday spirit. Our Holiday Gala was another standout success, offering neighbors a chance to celebrate, connect, and enjoy an elegant evening together. These gatherings continue to remind us why Somersett is such a special place - because of the people who make it feel like home.

A Strong Foundation and Notable Accomplishments

As we reflect on the past year, I’m pleased to share that Somersett remains in excellent financial condition. Reserves are fully funded, operating capital is strong, facilities remain well maintained, risk management continues to be proactive, 4

service delivery is consistent, and assessment delinquencies have been reduced by more than 80%. Together, these factors position our community well for the future. This strong foundation allowed for continued investment across landscaping, facilities, and amenities. Notable improvements included a remodeled weight room, resurfaced upper and lower spas, pool slide and pool house upgrades, reconfigured tennis and pickleball courts with new bleachers and landscaping, parking lot improvements at TCTC, and the installation of two additional license-plate-reader cameras to enhance community safety. Fire safety and infrastructure reliability also remained top priorities. Through the SOA fire-fuels grant and the leadership of Tray Palmer, more than 200 acres of open space were treated to reduce wildfire risk. In addition, SOA and SGCC

ERN NEVADA FOR OVER 25 YEARS TRUSTED BY NORTH

successfully relocated the water line supplying Truckee River water to Somersett - an important long-term investment in our infrastructure. Our calendar of community events also remained robust and well attended throughout the year, strengthening the sense of connection that defines Somersett.

2025 Election Results

Our annual meeting and election took place in November, and I am pleased to share that Kate Falcocchia and Clint Maples were re-elected to the Board of Directors. Their continued leadership ensures stability, experience, and a steady hand as we move forward with both current initiatives and long-term planning. I also want to thank all candidates who put their names forward - your willingness to serve is deeply appreciated and essential to a thriving community.

Looking Ahead: Sierra Canyon Election and Volunteer Opportunities

Sierra Canyon residents will soon participate in their own board election this February. Strong leadership at every level is vital, and I encourage residents who are passionate about Sierra Canyon’s future to consider getting involved. Serving your community - whether through board service or volunteer efforts - is one of the most meaningful and impactful ways to help shape its direction.

Whether your interests are in governance, finance, facilities, events, or strengthening neighborhood connections, your involvement truly matters, and I encourage you to get involved.

A Season of Community

As we move through the winter months, we remain focused on clear communication, financial stability, and enhancing the community experiences that bring us together. Through your participation, feedback, and volunteerism, Somersett continues to be the welcoming and connected place we call home. Thank you for the privilege of serving as your president.

Dr. Parley Anderson Active Physical Therapy

If you’ve spent any time on the Somersett trails, chances are you’ve crossed paths with Parley Anderson and his energetic Siberian Husky, Thor. A proud Native Nevadan who has called Reno home for more than 30 years, Parley moved to Somersett’s Village neighborhood in 2019 and says he knew instantly it was the right fit. “I toured many neighborhoods around Reno, but the moment I saw the Village, I knew it was perfect,” he recalls. “In addition to getting a bit more snow than other parts of Reno, I love being just far enough from the ‘big city’ to enjoy safe, peaceful streets while still being close to everything.” Little did he know that Thor, acquired at just eight weeks old, would become a big part of his Somersett experience. Now four years old, Thor is a familiar sight on the walking paths and a great conversation starter. “I met all my neighbors thanks to him,” Parley laughs. A CAREER BUILT ON HELPING PEOPLE MOVE BETTER

Parley is the co-owner of Active Physical Therapy, a practice dedicated to helping patients reach their physical goals and improve their quality of life. With more than two decades of experience, he specializes in spine care, evidence-based treatment, sports medicine, orthopedics, manual therapy, and preventative health care. Active Physical Therapy was founded 14 years ago and is operated by Parley alongside Dr. Mike Spevak, a fellow seasoned physical therapist who also lives in Somersett with his wife, Karen, and son, AJ. Together, they provide a comprehensive range of services designed to help patients recover quickly, safely, and fully. “Physical activity is essential for long-term health,” Parley says. “Our goal is always to support people in staying active, strong, and doing the things they love.”

Somersett Living

| Winter 26

FINAL LOTS RELEASED 3-5 Beds | 2-4 Baths | 2,655-3,868 Square Feet

Parley’s path to becoming a physical therapist began at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he earned a bachelor’s in education, attended graduate school, and even taught Personal Health and Lifestyles and directed the University’s Fitness Center. He later completed both a master’s and doctoral degree in Physical Therapy from the University of the Pacific. Before founding Active Physical Therapy, he worked with the Sierra Regional Spine Institute and Physical Therapy Practices.

(775) 233-1910 | vh@desertwindhomes.com www.DesertWindHomes.com/Brae-Retreat

EDUCATOR, AUTHOR, AND LIFELONG LEARNER

In addition to treating patients, Parley has spent the last 15+ years shaping future professionals as a Professor of Kinesiology at UNR. He is also a Certified CrossFit Instructor and advocates for practical, everyday movement as a foundation of wellness. In 2020, he published his first book, “All This Sitting Is Killing You,” a guide aimed at combating our modern sedentary lifestyles. He is currently working on his second book, focused on practical strategies for maintaining a healthy spine. LIFE IN SOMERSETT

When he’s not in the clinic or the classroom, Parley enjoys making the most of the outdoors—traveling, hiking, golfing, and exploring with Thor. You’ll also find him on the pickleball courts or staying active in the gym, which he describes as “some of the community’s best amenities.” Friendly, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to health and movement, Parley brings both expertise and positive energy to Somersett. Whether he’s helping patients recover, teaching students, or greeting neighbors on the trail, he continues to embody an active lifestyle—one he inspires others to pursue as well. If you’re experiencing mobility challenges, joint pain, or other musculoskeletal issues, Parley encourages you to explore how physical therapy can help to restore movement, reduce discomfort, and ultimately improve your everyday quality of life. You can reach Parley and Active Physical Therapy at https://www.activeptreno.com or 775-786-2400. Somersett Living

Golf Tip

By Stuart Smith – PGA Director of Instruction

Stay Golf-Fit All Winter Long

When winter weather puts a pause on regular tee times, it doesn’t have to stall your progress as a golfer. In fact, the off-season is one of the best opportunities to build strength, improve mobility, and fine-tune the fundamentals that will pay off when spring arrives. Golf-specific fitness during the winter can focus on key areas including mobility, strength, and consistency. Colder months often lead to tighter hips, backs, and shoulders, so prioritizing flexibility and range-ofmotion exercises can help protect against injury while improving swing efficiency. Simple stretching routines, yoga, or mobility classes can go a long way toward keeping your body golf-ready. Strength training is another winter option that can pay off in the spring. Building core strength, balance, and rotational power helps support a more stable and powerful swing. You don’t need heavy weights or long gym sessions - targeted exercises that mimic golf movements are incredibly effective and can be done indoors.

Somersett Living

| Winter 26

Finally, winter is ideal for sharpening skills you can practice anywhere. Putting and short-game drills, grip and alignment work, and swing mechanics can all be refined at home, indoors, or with simulations. Maintaining these habits over the winter keeps your muscle memory fresh and your confidence high. By staying active and intentional during the off-season, you’ll not only maintain your game; you’ll return to the course stronger, looser, and ready to play your best when the snow melts. If you are interested in a more personalized program, don’t hesitate to reach out to one of the tenured instructors at the Golf Shop. Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing everyone on the course soon.

Canyon Nine Golf Course is a private course for the enjoyment of Somersett residents (including our sub-associations - The Village, The Vue, and Sierra Canyon) and their guests. Play is free for residents; $10 for their guests. This executive par 3 walking course is the perfect choice for learning the game or a quick nine after work. No tee times are required. Play is first-come, first-served. Winter at the Canyon 9 While the Canyon 9 looks like a perfect winter playground, sledding on the greens can cause serious damage to the turf. The weight and repeated traffic compact the soil, create ice buildup, and can leave the grass struggling to recover in spring, leading to costly repairs and delayed play. For everyone’s safety and for the long-term health of the course, please keep all winter activities off the greens. Course Etiquette and Safety Rules To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all residents and guests, please follow these golf course rules: • Maintain pace of play – Avoid slow play to keep the course flowing smoothly. • Care for the course – Repair ball marks, replace divots, and rake bunkers after use. • Respect natural areas – Balls landing in native

vegetation must be left; these areas are not playable.

• Be snake aware – Rattlesnakes are present in the

Somersett area. Do not enter natural areas to retrieve golf balls. • Use soft spikes only – Metal spikes are not allowed on the course. • No dogs are allowed on the greens or fairways. Dogs must be leashed and kept to the perimeter paths or rough areas. Please avoid walking pets on fairways, greens, or tee boxes. Always pick up after your pet. Golf bag tags Do you have your Somersett golf bag tag? The tag helps us identify residents from non-residents and allows you to get right to your game with no need to check in before you play. Get your free tag by filling out the form on the website or stopping by the front desk and requesting one.

Fire Mitigation & Wildfire Preparedness Update By Tray Palmer – Fire Fuels Mitigation Project Manager

Protecting our community from wildfire remains a top priority. This update highlights the significant fire fuel reduction work completed this year, upcoming mitigation efforts, and practical steps homeowners can take during the winter months to reduce risk around their properties. You’ll also find important information on winter pruning, defensible space, and recent changes to homeowners insurance related to wildfire coverage—along with resources to help you stay informed and protected.

Fire Mitigation Update:

Benefits of Winter Tree Pruning

Since October, the community has mitigated 30 acres of fire Benefit #1 – Makes Tree Structure More fuel. A fuel break has been installed along Peavine, from the top Visible of Painted River Trail to Eagle Bend. This is a key part of the Proper pruning means making the right cuts in the right places Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) to slow or stop to improve the shape, health and safety of your trees. Proper wildfires before they reach our homes. pruning should follow a three-step process shown here and never exceed 1/3 of the height of the tree. For the most up-to-date fire mitigation information, please visit Fire Mitigation under the Residents tab on our homepage.

Benefit #2 – Reduce Disease Spread

Winter Maintenance Tips:

Winter is an ideal time to clean up and prepare your yard for the 2026 fire season. Key areas to address include: • Within 10 feet of rooflines, windows, and doors • Within 3 feet of fire hydrants and power boxes • Any potential ignition sources Ladder fuels—tall grasses, shrubs, and tree branches, living or dead—can allow ground fires to climb into tree canopies. Clearing these from your yard reduces wildfire risk significantly. According to Micaela Truslove, Community Wildfire Preparedness Coordinator with UNR Extension, pruning trees and shrubs not only reduces fire fuel load, but it will also make the vegetation healthier if done the right way. 20

| Winter 26

Tree diseases are typically caused or spread by bacteria, fungi, parasites, and insects. Unless the weather has been exceptionally warm, these disease agents are usually dead or dormant during winter months. As a result, diseases are less likely to be transmitted through tree work done in winter.

Benefit #3 – Causes Less Stress for Trees

A tree’s normal reaction to pruning is to stimulate new growth and to close the wound made by the pruning cut. Pruning in winter doesn’t cause new growth until spring, at which time the tree has access to the moisture, sunlight, and nutrients it needs to support healthy growth. Plus, dormant pruning gives trees time to heal from pruning cuts before warmer weather brings out destructive insects and pathogens.

Benefit #4– Improves Tree Safety Over Winter

Damaged, dead or dying trees can be dangerous in winter, particularly when we get storms that bring wind, ice, or snow. Dormant pruning is done to remove any hazards before they can compromise the safety of your property and

loved ones. It also rejuvenates weaker trees (thus making them safer) by removing dead and diseased wood Winter pruning is not limited to trees. Have fun with it. While doing home assessments throughout our community I have noticed beautiful shaping of our natural vegetation that blends the native vegetation into our home landscapes. Check out this shaped bitterbrush that is along Eagle Bend Trail:

If you receive a cancellation notice, the Nevada Division of Insurance has compiled a list of insurance underwriters who cover homes locally: https://doi.nv.gov/consumers/ homeowners-insurance/. You have lots of options and can shop for coverage across a wide selection of insurers. If you have an issue with your insurance, and don’t want to shop for your policy, your agent can advocate for you. Simply point out to your agent that Somersett is nothing like the Tahoe region and not a forested area. While we are in a wildland urban interface, we are also inside the fire coverage area for the City of Reno which has an excellent Insurance Services Office rating.

Providing the following information and documents to your insurance agent may help: 1. Somersett, including Sierra Canyon, is a certified Firewise Community. 2. Somersett and Sierra Canyon have developed a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) that outlines priority areas for mitigation with an action plan for continual maintenance. 3. With the help of a multi-million-dollar Federal Wildfire Grant, we initiate various fire mitigation efforts which include defensible space work and education. In the last two years we have reduced over 400 acres of fire fuels, treated over 150 acres of open space with herbicide treatment, and replaced approximately 40 acres of flammable fuels with fire resistive wheat grass and flower blends as prescribed by the Nevada Division of Forestry. 4. The Action Plan for 2026 will call for an additional 200 acres of fuel reduction to include fuel breaks along the North and South Community Boundaries. Mostly as a result of rebuilding cost and recent fires in our region, some underwriters have stopped writing fire policies in 5. Placement of three fire stations (2 Reno Fire Department, and 1 Truckee Meadows Fire) throughout our community local areas in Nevada that border the Wildland Urban Interface provides average response times of under 6 minutes. such as Somersett. 6. The developments of Sierra Canyon and Sommerset were built under the International Fire Code and Building Code According to the 2025 Insurance Market Report by the Nevada standards. As such, water hydrants are properly placed for Division of Insurance, in 2023, wildfire concerns led insurers to quick Fire Department Access with a minimum flow of 1500 decline renewal for 481 homeowner policies, which represented gpm. Paved, maintained access roads are of proper width to an 82 percent increase from the previous year. That same year, allow for emergency access and egress. Both communities total home insurance policy cancellations and non-renewals have 3 separate ways in and out. in Nevada surged to nearly 158,000, while insurer denials of 7. You can also show your agent what you have done to coverage due to wildfire risk more than doubled. protect your home from wildfire. The critical zone most insurance companies look at is 0-5 feet from your home, In June 2025, the Nevada Legislature passed A.B. 376. Starting and then a reduced fuel load at 5-30 feet from your home. January 1, 2026, insurers will be permitted to exclude wildfire Somersett and Sierra Canyon have a permission form that coverage from standard homeowners’ policies and offer it only will allow residents to encroach on HOA property and as a separate, standalone product. As written, the legislation clear fuels within 30 feet of property line. allows insurers to go even further by eliminating wildfire coverage entirely.

Homeowners Insurance Cancellations:

While the bill is intended to improve insurance availability in a high-risk environment, its provisions may leave many homeowners without essential protection. Some residents may not realize that wildfire coverage is no longer included in their standard policies. The bill does not ensure consumer transparency. It is important to check your policy upon renewal to ensure that you are adequately covered.

Dr. Jamy Schaap

Spotlight on a Somersett Neighbor Making Waves On and Off the Airwaves

Since moving to Somersett in 2018, Jamy Schaap has found far more than a beautiful place to live—he’s found a community he truly loves. While searching for a new home, he stepped into his current house and instantly knew the floor plan was exactly what he wanted, making the decision to put down roots an easy one. Today, he appreciates the quiet charm of the neighborhood and can often be found at the Clubhouse, where he enjoys working out twice a week. A devoted father and grandfather, Jamy lights up when talking about his son, Joshua, and his two grandchildren, Jordan and Juliette. He also speaks lovingly of his partner, Gale Elaine Papillon, whom he describes as the second great love of his life. When he’s not spending time with family, Jamy enjoys traveling to Oregon to fish for big-game salmon—a favorite pastime that keeps him connected to nature and provides a welcome sense of balance. Professionally, Jamy’s life is just as dynamic. A former Marine Corps Corporal and Vietnam veteran, he went on to build a remarkable 25-plus-year career in international business, strategic planning, consulting, and higher education. He has taught university courses for more than four decades and is a prolific author with several major works to his name. His first memoir, Vietnam: My War – Over Five Decades Later, chronicles his wartime experiences and reflections. He later published a second book focused on military history, Ike and I: The Stories of a Soldier and a Warrior. Both titles are currently available on Amazon in paperback and eBook formats. Many residents may also recognize Jamy as one half of the duo behind Business-Academics, a weekly radio show he cohosts with longtime colleague and fellow strategist Professor Jonathan Breiter. Airing every Saturday from 11 a.m. to noon on News Talk 780 KKOH, the show blends practical business insights, real-world stories, and lessons drawn from their combined 50-plus years in corporate leadership, marketing, and consulting. The program has been warmly received and continues to grow, welcoming new guests each month. In addition to their radio work, Jamy and Jonathan run Business Academics, LLC, a consulting firm specializing in strategic, management, and marketing solutions. Their mission is to help organizations transform challenges into profitable opportunities by strengthening vision, mission, and strategy—from formulation through full implementation. The pair are also currently publishing a new book together, Business-Academics: Strategy Is Not an Option. It Is the Job, which will be released digitally by Kendall Hunt in January 2026. Jamy’s writing doesn’t stop there. He and Gale are also co-authoring an upcoming book, Falling in Love in Our Seventies: So, What Does That Really Look Like? The book, to be published by Penguin Books in spring 2026, explores love, partnership, and life lessons later in life. Whether he’s shaping strategy in the boardroom, sharing insights over the airwaves, writing, or casting a line on a peaceful fishing trip, Jamy approaches life with purpose and curiosity. Here in Somersett, that thoughtful, engaged spirit is part of what makes him such a valued neighbor. Curious to learn more? Tune in to Business-Academics on KKOH 780 AM Saturdays at 11 a.m., or reach out to Jamy or Jonathan to explore how their consulting expertise can support your business. 22

Winter Pet Safety:

Top Tips to Keep Them Cozy & Protected Winter weather can be tough on our fourlegged family members. Keep your pets safe, happy, and healthy with these quick coldweather tips:

1. Indoors Is Best

If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your pet. Limit

outdoor time and never leave pets in a cold car.

2. Protect Those Paws

After walks, wipe paws and bellies to remove ice, salt, and

chemicals. Check for cracks or redness.

3. Use Paw Balm or Booties

Apply vet-approved paw balm before walks or use booties

for extra protection.

4. Prevent Dry Skin

Cold air + heated homes = itchy pets. Keep your home

humid and towel dry pets after outdoor time.

5. Skip the Winter Shave

Longer coats provide warmth. Trim long hair to prevent ice

buildup. Short-haired pets may benefit from a cozy sweater.

6. Limit Baths

Frequent baths can dry out skin. Use moisturizing products

if bathing is necessary.

7. Watch for Toxic Chemicals

Clean antifreeze spills immediately. Store ice melt and

winter chemicals safely out of reach.

8. Extra Calories Help

Pets burn more energy staying warm. A little extra food

and plenty of water keep them healthy.

9. Create a Cozy Sleeping Spot

Provide a warm bed off the floor and away from drafts.

10. Keep Pets Leashed

Snow and ice can disorient pets, and many become lost in

winter. Always keep ID tags on.

Keep these tips handy so you and your furry friends can enjoy a safe, cozy winter season! Sources - Recommendations compiled from ASPCA; PetMD; & veterinary winter-care best practices.
