The Security Patrol recently did a presentation on the prospects of installing the ALPR, including locations to cover the entire community ingress and egress.  I am not convinced of the efficacy but if the Henderson Police believe it would assist them in capturing criminals then by all means they can write a grant to cover the expense and install…[Read more]

The CLC requires that a club member with an “issue” or complaint should contact the entire Board of that Club.  It would seem to me that it would be kind if they CLC would at least require the Clubs to make the contact information (email) of all Board members readily available.  As I peruse the clubs on the SCA website I notice that many do not p…[Read more]

I am a female so my opinion has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of anyone. My opinion is  that,  for an HOA – a business with no inventory, no production, no need for marketing or a sales force, and a business which sub contracts all major maintenance and repairs, we are grossly overpaying salary and benefits.

Thank you for a great article with succinct and definitive information.

Excellent article by Robert Stern. I will only disagree with the concept of boycotting the restaurant. Mostly because I don’t think it’s necessary. Based on past performance and the increased amount of competition (which continues to grow) in the immediate area since the demise of the last debacle,  I don’t believe there will be enough patron…[Read more]

The quarterly dues for the homeowners that are not subject to special pricing, were $331.00 per quarter, increasing by 25% to $441.00 per quarter in 2023.  No one I know whether working or retired has had an income increase by 25%.  I am sure there are always necessary items to attend to in order to maintain the community but the parking lot at A…[Read more]

Phyll makes a lot of sense. I wish the Board wound reconsider how they approach “sales”.

The “Estate Sales” have become a weekly occurrence and often more than one. Today I started counting the neon green signs but stopped at 30 – up and down Anthem pkwy as well as Somersworth – how does this enhance our community? Up until a few years ago thi…[Read more]

I too saw many unsightly homemade signs posted around the community- one appeared to be spray painted on a bedsheet and was large and distracting to drivers on Anthem Parkway which in and of itself is a danger. If the community is  going to sponsor the garage sales then there  should only be professional signs posted at strategic locations. From w…[Read more]

Interesting that the Board President, Stephen Anderson, only recently posted a verbose article in which he went on about how we must all “live by” the rules and regulations to keep our community “looking good and maintaining aesthetic appeal”.  He also stated that we all must “live by” these rules, not just “your neighbor but also for you”.   …[Read more]

Love the article Rana. Martin your response is spot on.

Darcy Spears  will have to look at herself  in the mirror every morning and know that she is less than honest. That’s a heck of a thing to live with!
Unfortunately, it’s a sign of the times.  Self-serving, stepping on someone else to get a leg up, say or do anything even if you know it’s not the truth as long as you get reelected. That’s j…[Read more]

Well the good news for you is that you posted this before April 1. So unless they change their policy and say it’s retroactive, you’re in the clear. Keep writing and informing the people about  what is going on. The word must get out.
PS – Will book burning be next?

Having residents apply in the first place was a thoughtless and rude maneuver on the part of the Board. Folks take the time to send in a request to be considered and be interviewed and vetted and then told to “forget it”.   I have to wonder if the excuse  of the “timing” is just a means to refuse everyone  because in the minds of the current Bo…[Read more]

This is a very well run virtual tournament. I played twice and it’s getting better every time. What a great way to spend a few hours if you enjoy the game. There are super nice folks on here too. Just join the realmahjongg.com website – free trial then about $5.00 a month and then you can join the tournament and play.

Rana:

For your sake, I am glad you are done with the untrustworthy and over-inflated egos on the Board and it’s hired professionals.  For selfish reasons, I am sorry that the residents have lost your kindness, dedication and rational thinking as our voice.
