Word of Thanks:Kathy opened by thanking the staff and residents of

Highland Lakes for the wonderful job they did with the cleanup after the storm that occurred September 11, 2013. The storm hit around 7:00 p.m. on that Wednesday night, and Michelle started contacting Ken and Joe. There was an immediate response from Ken and Mike to begin clean up and assessing the damage, and Joe put the insurance company on notice. Residents were also out helping move branches and limbs out of the street and cleaning out gutters so that the water could properly drain. The response of Highland Lakes was wonderful. Kathy thanked everyone for their hard work.

9

Property Managers Report: See page 11Kathy asked what kind of technology would be required

another emergency like the recent storm. Shannon answered that getting it set up would be easy. It would just be a matter of having people sign up for the

website. She said she works with a company that does the mass-email (eblasts), who are very reliable and offer their service for free, or very inexpensively depending on the need. (up to 12,000 emails per month at no cost). Sending mass text messages usually is more expensive. Shannon said she would look into companies that offer

Betty Parzych asked if the damage incurred would be covered by insurance. Joe said that damage to buildings would have been covered, but the insurance policy doesnt cover the fallen trees or damaged trees. Joe reiterated that Highland Lakes was very fortunate with how the storm hit, stating that if the wind had been blowing in a different direction, the trees would have easily fallen on buildings or cars. As it happened, the trees fell onto

units causing minor damage. Because it isnt covered by

our insurance, Highland Lakes will have to pay for the tree removal. Joe said that there are tree removal and replacement budgets in long term and other long term accounts that may be used for the storm clean-up. Joe added that all the roof repair and tree removal of trees that did fall on buildings totaled less than the insurance

Maintenance Superintendents Report: Verbal Ken said that much of the storm updates were covered in

Joes Property Manager Report. He added that they have currently counted 50-60 trees fallen on the property, and 140-150 trees damaged due to the storm. Ken said that there had been multiple power outages & gas leaks prior to the storm as well.

Joe noted that many of the trees that fell had shallow root systems and remarked that the rocky soil may have to do with why the trees are not taking deep root. Robert Armstrong added that the fact that we water often trains

trail behind the clubhouse. Details will be in the October Herald.

Kathy invited anyone interested to a Crafters Night on Tuesday, September 17th at 6:00 p.m. If youre interested in doing a craft of learning a craft, such as scrapbooking, knitting, quilting, etc, please feel free to attend. Novices and experts are welcome. These Crafters Nights will continue throughout the winter months. Watch the Herald for details.

Herald Committee Report: VerbalMarty Tingstad reported that some members of the

Herald Committee (Kathleen, Joy Gaskin and himself) were marooned in the clubhouse during the storm on September 11th, and some members did not attend because of the same storm, so no formal meeting was held. However, Marty encouraged everyone to submit their Honor Roll form for inclusion in the November Herald for Veterans Day. The response has been good, but wed love to have more.

Co-Owner ForumJoel Lutz: Joel said that a couple months ago there was

a gas line puncture found in Windsor Court, and after they made the repair, they pressure tested the line and found four units in the building that had gas leaks. Joel

her unit, came home to the smell of gas. She contacted Consumers Energy, and they discovered that her stove connection and furnace connection had come loose. They

with the age of the units, it is probably not unreasonable that the connections would not hold up under stress the way that they used to. He said co-owners should be aware of this and investigate a solution by having a professional

come in to check gas-line connections. Ken added that when a new gas appliance or furnace is installed, the gas valve and line leading to the appliance must be changed in order to comply with the current building codes, so they are upgraded as appliances are changed.

Robert Armstrong: Robert requested Board approval for an announcement to run in the Herald for the next three months. Last year, Robert arranged for an afternoon out for Highland Lakes at the Tipping Point Theatre which was well attended and an overall success. He would like to organize a similar outing again this year, but with more lead time so that everyone interested will have time to make plans to attend. The outing will be scheduled for March 1, 2014. The Tipping Point Theatre is offering a discount for the group ($26/person), and will also honor

10

their senior citizens discount (additional $2/person). The show this year will be Murder at the Howard Johnsons. Hes also increased the group block to 50 seats instead of 25 because last year there were residents that wanted

Robert said hes also trying to work with a restaurant to get a good rate for the group for dinner afterwards.

Board Action: Motion by Tom Byrne, support by Sandy Nolan, to allow Robert Armstrong to run the Tipping

All in favor. Motion passed.

Robert requested Board approval for an announcement to run in the Herald to attempt to revive the Lakes Ecology Committee. Robert said that, although it is a committee with Board Liaisons, the committee hasnt been active in the eight years he has been a resident. The ad would

run in the October Herald and announce a Committee meeting for November 5th. Michelle asked if the meeting could be moved to 7:00 p.m. instead of 8:00 p.m. Robert said he could make that change; Robert said that he set the meeting according to the original committee by-laws that he received from Joe, which were drafted in 2006. Kathleen that the initial meeting could be set for 7:00 p.m., then the by-laws changed with a formal vote at the meeting.

Board Action: Motion by Judy Nakdimen, support by Guy Balok, to allow Robert Armstrong to run the Lakes

for November 5, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. All in favor. Motion passed.

The Meeting adjourned at 8:26 p.m.

MANAGEMENT REPORTTO: Board of Directors, Co-OwnersFROM: Joe Poma, Property Manager

RE: Property Managers Report DATE: September 16, 2013

1. By now you have received your budget booklets and coupons for 2014. Please be sure to read all of the notes to get a better idea of how your community operates. Next year, we will be focusing

of other issues to keep the community looking new. In 2014, we are scheduled to replace roofs on

2. As the weather gets cooler, I am reminding everyone once again to check the condition of their

so much for the soot, but for the nesting material that has accumulated over the summer. Those residents that still need repairs to their chimneys will again receive a letter reminding them to do so. Residents have asked why they receive more than one letter, and my response is that the unit could be sold to an uninformed purchaser, or rented to an uninformed tenant.

3. The pool season drew to a close on September 2nd (and what fun that was), but despite the weather,

residents to use as long as the weather stays warm. Feel free to conduct your committee meeting or get your work done outside.

4. If you have overhead kitchen cupboards within a few feet of your stove, check the bottom and sides of the cupboards directly above the stove. If the cupboards feel greasy, take a green scouring pad

sides and bottom near the stove. Many people do not realize that over the course of time, cooking fatty foods such as hamburgers or frying something on the stovetop causes grease to cling to the

spats from the pan and lands on the cupboard, and/or the grease that was already clinging to the

I saw a dryer vent cleaning brush at Home Depot in the furnace / hot water tank aisle. It can be used by hand, or attached to any drill. It is meant to be placed in the rigid dryer vent tube exiting the

batteries.

7. If we have not already started by the time you read this, the Association will be hiring a company to paint the parking space numbers on the half of the property that was not done last year. Each courtyard takes about a day, and you will be receiving letters detailing when to move your car. In most cases, the car can be moved 4 feet back in its parking space, so that the company can access the

huge success and may be ongoing maintenance every couple of years.

we can call, but by then, the damage is done.

9. The entrance to the property off of 8-Mile Rd. has been complimented with River Birch trees on the east side. The west side was re-done with boxwood, cedars and evergreens, along with a freshly powder-coated entrance sign and cedar mulch. The Grounds Committee is now looking at ways to provide additional color by planting annuals and perennial plants around the outer edges.

10. If you are looking for a good weekend activity, all of the area cider mills are now open. During

kids.

11. We had quite a storm in September. There were 60-70 trees affected, with most splitting in half or falling over. The following morning however, Davey Tree sent a crew around the property and along with the maintenance staff, was able to remove most of the debris within days. This was no small task, since much of the clean-up was trying to get twigs and leaves out of the streets, courtyards and common ground to accept the lawn machinery once again. Fortunately, there was only minor building damage, including some shingles, crushed gutters, shutters down and fence

acres of forest here and mature trees around almost all of the buildings, so we were very lucky that none of them crashed through a building. I have been considering how nice it would be if we had a programmable digital sign in front of the clubhouse that could advise residents of where we were at with remediation efforts immediately following an event like this. If we wanted to send a message, I could type it at a remote computer and get the message to everyone that drives down Silver Spring instantly 24/7. It would also save money in sign printing costs. The downside is that it might look too much like a school. One of the Board members suggested a mass e-mail or automated phone call

it, but it would be nice to get updates like the utility companies make available. At this point, a sign, e-mail, automated message or a go-to website are all ideas, but I welcome your opinion on any of them or none at all.

DISCUSSION:

There was a good turnout for the July Hot Dog Daze.

The July Adult Late Night Swim had a good turnout. The weather was good, the water was perfect,

and there was good food. People commented that the only things missing were Joy Gaskin and her

deviled eggs and Kathleen Connor and her sliders.

Everyone who attended enjoyed the Pool Closing Party. Good company and great food.

The date for the July Adult late night swim in 2014 was changed to July 26. Mark you calendars for

an adult luau!

They carried a one year warranty and lasted only one season on the deck. Joe and/or Sandy will

All-State Patio Furniture. He suggested them as an alternate suppler for future pool furniture.

There was much discussion on the pool and chemical and algae issues. Joe will look into the possibility

of having a dedicated maintenance person trained in pool maintenance with lifeguards monitoring

pool. It appears that using an outside company to maintain pool would be cost prohibitive..

Joe would like to bring back some of the same lifeguards next year.

All in all, despite problems with the pool and weather it was a great season at the pool!

Leidel Courts 16th Annual BACKYARD PARTY

Leidel Court held their 16th Annual picnic on the shores of Swan Harbour Lake, on Saturday evening, August 24, 2013. It was a perfect evening and the weather

was wonderful. The variety of food brought by the guests was

scrumptious.

Residents of Leidel Court and their families, friends, neighbors from other courts, and previous co-owners from Leidel Court all came for a fun time. Everyone

enjoyed the evening and are looking forward to next years party.

A big THANK YOU to all those who volunteer their time to put this affair together each year,

especially Art & Barb Baynes (Art is Liedel Courts professional photographer), and to Barb Adams and Kelly Wysocki for their usual

participation.

Hopefully we will see everyone again next year, and have another

great fun time together.

HAYES COURTJoy Montgomery and John Quayle

As a realtor with a brokerage in the area, Joy brings us good news. Property values in Highland Lakes are going up, she assures. Joy and Dan, married in 2012, lived in an up-scale condo community before choosing to move to Highland Lakes for the amenities it off ers to families. Th ey appreciate the generation mix and especially that Phineas, age eight, can spot a friend by looking out the window and dash out to ride bikes or swashbuckle with nerf swords. Older brother Grahm, thirteen and an eighth grader at Meads Mill, will be a cross country runner this year. John, who works at a mortgage company, has been a runner since high school and is pleased to have a running partner. In fact, John ran in the Boston Marathon in 2010, so Grahm has his own private coach plus a scenic route through Highland Lakes. Th e family enjoys billiards at the clubhouse and the pool though John says the diving board is not as challenging high as the original. He knows because he spent every summer weekend at the pool back in the 1970s when his mother, an original owner, lived on Queen Anne Court.

LEHIGH COURTTimothy Moore

Moving to Highland Lakes from Livonia makes a shorter commute to South Lyon Schools for Timothy who is teaching a fi ft h-grade class this year. When not preparing for his teaching duties

or in the classroom, he is coaching soccer for the Michigan Jaguars, a state private premier

league for ages 3-18. Timothys roommate and long-time friend, Jeff Waldmann, take

advantage of any time off to canoe on Swan Harbor Lake and shoot baskets at the Club House courts.

LEIDEL COURTJean Wu

We live in paradise! exclaim Jeans parents, Juanna and Peter Wu. Th ey brought one-year old Jean with them when they immigrated from Taiwan to Los Angeles. In 1992 the family, which then included Anna, moved to the Detroit area. Jean works for J.P Morgan in West Bloomfi eld; Anna teaches vocational English to local refugees. Also included in the family is Jeans son Luke, age three and one-half. Th e Wu family story goes back to Taiwan where Peter was raised by a phenomenal Christian missionary, aff ectionately called Dr. Pauline because of her three academic doctoral degrees. She inspired him to follow her example. Juanna had attended college, majoring in agriculture. She taught in a school for the blind when she met and married Peter, joining him in his ministry which led them to the Chinese Gospel Church in Livonia where he currently is the pastor. On August 25th Peter and Juanna hosted an open house for their congregation at their Highland Lakes condo. Th eir friends viewed the lovely view of Swan Harbor Lake beyond the court yard and the expanse of green commons with trees. Th ey too exclaimed, You live in paradise! Peter and Juanna had a special announcement that day. Th ey have been called for another mission, one that will take them to mainland China. Jean, Anna, and Luke will stay here. In the meantime, Juanna and Luke visit the shoreline of Swan Harbor Lake every morning to watch the ducks. She wonders if any other Chinese speaking residents live within Highland Lakes with whom she could chat and pray.

RICHARDS COURTDaniel and Susan Clark

Two years ago the Clarks moved from Georgia to Northville when Dan accepted an off er with General Motors, bringing him back to Michigan

where he was raised in the Flint area. At fi rst they lived in a house in Northville, but, based on recommendations from friends, the goal was to move into Highland Lakes for the family-based amenities. Katie, who is almost eleven, and Will, aged eight, walk a short distance across the Commons and playground to get to and from school. Th ey ride bikes and push scooters along the curved sidewalk leading to their unit, burning off energy out-of-doors. Th ey climb the old maple tree about 50 yards away from their front door and sit on the low spreading branches. Th ey

swing and climb at the school yard, meet up with friends from nearby courts, and attend the Hot Dog Days. Katie is pleased that the library is close, downtown while Will bemoans that he has to wait so long for the pool to open again. Dan and Susan, who is originally from Pennsylvania, met at work in Tennessee. She works as a para-pro with the Northville School District, helping special needs students in the classroom. Now that the family is fi nally in Highland Lakes, Susan says they are as pleased as they had expected to be.

Know Your Neighbors

SHARE YOUR STORY! We would like to recognize more of our neighbors who have a shining moment. If you, a member of your family, or a neighbor has a very special event or experience, please let us know so we can share that accomplishment with the Highland Lakes Community. Maybe youre celebrating a special anniversary or birthday or a new birth in the family. Perhaps your son has been named captain of the football team or your daughter had a record-breaking cross-country run.

Whatever the achievement-if youre proud of it, share it with your neighbors. Call Wilma Leonard at 248-380-8907 or e-mail her at [email protected] and tell her your good news; the Herald Committee will do the write up for you to feature in our next issue. Story submissions also can be dropped off in the Herald box at the Clubhouse. Make sure the individual(s) involved do not mind the recognition. Material for publication must be signed. Article submitted by Wilma Leonard.

JUDY NAKDIMEN is one of the renowned cooks in Highland Lakes, often submitting recipes for the Whats Cooking feature. But many of us were able to enjoy the real thing a few years back. The Clubhouse Committee wanted to have the furniture in the main lounge reupholstered, but there was no money in the budget for such a project. So Judy, along with her assistants Betty Parzych and Sally Rigo, prepared A Taste of Spring dinners for three years as a fund raiser for this project. Judy created the menus and did all the cooking for, first a French dinner, then an Italian dinner and finally a Southern dinner. Unfortunately for us fans of Judys meals, the upholstery project succeeded and the marvelous dinners ended. But wait! We had one more wonderful meal when, a couple of years ago,

Judy prepared a St. Patricks Day dinner with, of course, corned beef and cabbage. Judy commented that one of lifes great joys is enjoying good food with friends and family.

Another of Judys interests was, for over 30 years, participation in the Livonia-Redford Theater Guild. She appeared on stage only once, preferring to work behind the scenes. Her talents were in production, stage design and costumes. For many years she created her own wardrobe and she also enjoys knitting.

Judy retired from Henry Ford Community College a few years ago. She had worked there for 32 years as a coordinator in Human Resources. Since then she has filled her time (aside from cooking and sewing) with travel. Her goal is to take two trips a year with friends and family. She has enjoyed travel in England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain and Portugal. But her favorites are Italy and France(could that be because these two countries are noted for their cuisine, as is Judy?) She and her travel companions prefer in-depth travel rather than trying to hit all the highlights of a country in a whirlwind visit. She enjoyed a six week Italian adventure with Don and Rayda Warren of Lehigh Lane. In September she and her daughter and son-in-law have planned a 10 day trip to France, concentrating on the Loire Valley region.

Judy is an active member of Civic Concern. One of her contributions is the creation of a planned meal on distribution days. She assembles the ingredients and recipe for a main dish. She also helps stock the shelves of donations one to three days a week.

With all this activity, Judy still finds time to serve on the Highland Lakes Board of Directors. She has been on the Board a total of eight years. As part of her role as a Director, she devotes several hours a month as a Board Liaison on the Clubhouse, Community Social and Grounds Committees. A Highland Lakes resident for twenty-six years, Judy has truly found the key to enjoying what an active life has to offer.

Here are some common scams which many people fall prey to. There are a few which many of us have surely encountered.

1. Foreign Lotteries Scam: You are offered tickets to enter a foreign lottery and send money, but either the lottery doesnt

exist or the tickets never arrive. It is illegal to promote a foreign lottery in the United States.

2. Scholarship Scams: A company guarantees scholarship money for an upfront fee, but it only helps locate scholarships, rather than awarding them.

3. Charity Scams: A natural disaster is dominating the news and you get a letter / phone call asking you to donate funds to help its victims. You send money, but the victims never receive your donation or receive only a tiny portion - the rest goes to coer administrative costs like salaries.

4. Bogus Merchandise Sales: You purchase something advertised for sale on the internet or through the mail. You pay for the merchandise but never receive it or receive an inferior or counterfeit product in its place.

5. Telephone Cramming: Unauthorized charges for goods or services appear on your phone bill but you miss seeing them because your phone bill is complicated with authorized charges such as voicemail and internet service.

6. Telephone Slamming: Your telephone service is switched from your current company to another one without your knowledge or permission, resulting in higher charges for long distance and other services.

indicating that the offending vehicle was white. No one witnessed the incident. If you see property being damaged, do not hesitate to call the police. They will want as many details as you can provide so they can catch the perpetrator. We are fortunate that we live in a close community where we are able to watch out for one another.

May everyone have a safe and happy Halloween!
