BOARD COMMENTS

Pool Season:By the time you read this report, the pool season will have ended. This year has been a challenge with

rain, cooler temperatures, mechanical issues, and I could go on and on. Having said that, I believe the

residents enjoy the pool and terrace. I have seen many new faces this year.

Thank you Pool Committee and Community Social Committee for the many summer events. It takes

time and effort to make these events happen. Thanks to the many people who do not belong to either

committee, but come to be of assistance.

WOW Cable:You might be seeing people laying cable throughout the property. Wide Open West has signed a

contract to provide cable services to this community. The cable should be laid in about 5 weeks.

Crafters Night:In September we are starting Crafters Night. We will meet on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 pm until 9:00

Co-Owner ForumSteve Emsley: Steve said that at the July Board meeting,

he requested that the Board of Directors grant him atwo-year waiver that would allow him to lease his unit.When his request was denied, he put his condo on themarket and it sold in 48 hours. He explained that this wasa great capital loss because when he purchased the unit, itZDVKLVLQWHQWLRQWRJHWLW[HGXSDQGWKHQOHDVHLWRXWDV

an investment property, which is not possible under thenew bylaws at this time.

Steve requested that he be given concrete numbers for

the percentage of rentals on the property, because anDSSUR[LPDWHQXPEHULVQRWVXIFLHQW

Steve added that hes spoken with a number of differentinsurance companies that cannot answer the questionwhether his condo is insured during the licensure /leaseback period. Kathleen answered that all the condosare covered under one policy, which is $114M. The policywill cover Steves unit whether hes living in it or not, orif its for sale or rent. The unit is still part of HighlandLakes Association and is covered by the insurance policy.

questionnaire or something where we have to provide apercentage of rentals, the number is never approximate,but it is concrete based on the knowledge that we have.Joe said that the Association does its best to collectcomplete data to keep accurate records and protect theinterests of Highland Lakes. Ray Parzych thanked Joe forthe good job he is doing for the Association.

Michelle Kelly: Michelle said she is a new co-owner, andother members of her family have recently purchasedunits as well. Michelle asked why there is not a sidewalkto walk into town from Highland Lakes. Ken said thata little over a year ago, the Township was talking aboututilizing some federal grant money to build a walkingpath from HLCA to downtown Northville. Guy saidconnectivity has been a big issue in Northville Township.He said one of the issues is Russ Fog Drive, where thereis very little easement, and there is no easement underthe railroad overpass. Guy said that hes worked for theTownship for over 20 years, and the discussion is ongoing.

Michelle said she would be willing to look into it to seeLI VKHFRXOGZRUNZLWKWKH7RZQVKLSWRQGDVROXWLRQ

and landscape on the East side is coming together nicelyas well. Marti Tupper asked about the total cost for theEight Mile Entrance. Joe said the west side was $3500,and the east side was $2500, which is well under the$13K we received from the insurance.

Maintenance Superintendents report:

See report on page 11

In addition to his report, Ken explained that the propertywill be built out and ready for service in about 5 weeksfrom the time they break ground, (with service availablehopefully by early October). Ken added that the depotfor WOW where we will be getting the signal is right atSeven Mile in the Highland Lakes Shopping Plaza whichwill make outages rare or easily addressed because ofthe short distance. He said their rates are typically 20-40% cheaper than their competitors, and they offer theirservice as a month to month service. This eliminateslong contracts, and is a nice feature for snow birds

who dont need year-round service.A resident said that hes had WOW for many years when

product and service.

Ken added that most of the installation will be undergroundboring, with about 46 pedestal boxes throughout theproperty. The boxes will be installed within 2-3 of thecurrent AT&T and Comcast boxes.

Marti asked if prices for their service are available for

review. Ken said that as soon as the service has beentested and is working, they will send sales reps doorto door in the property. The Association has grantedthem permission to solicit once through the propertyduring a prescribed 2-week period of time, and onceannually. (This was part of their franchise agreement).Ken added that WOW offers approximately 96different scenarios through their menu, so service

FDQEHVSHFLFDOO\FXVWRPL]HGIRUWKHUHVLGHQWVXVDJHneeds, and residents wont be paying for service theydont want. They offer home phone service, internet,and cable with DVR.

Sandy said that Bill Rossow gave her an article fromConsumers Reports comparing cable providers, andWOW was at the top of the list in all categories.

Ken reiterated that Highland Lakes does not condone oneprovider over another, but he is happy that co-ownershave more options available.

Steve Emsley cautioned against high-pressure sales repscoming to the door that would try to force a decision onthe spot. This was his experience with another provider.Ken said the other provider hires sub-contractors to dothe sales, while WOW will have their own employees todo the door to door campaign.

She asked if there was a committee that she should speakwith about plotting a new sidewalk. Joe answered that itcould start at possibly the Grounds Committee, and thenproceed to a Board vote, or it can come directly to theBoard for consideration.

Michelle said that there is no direct sidewalk access to theclubhouse for a wheelchair or a stroller. Ken said that

as certain sidewalks come up for repair, ramps are beinginstalled in the sidewalks, but the Association hasnt beenin a position to do them all at once without another repairbeing done.

Charlene (receptionist): Charlene said that shes workedat Highland Lakes since May and she has really enjoyedit. She suggested that all the lights in the clubhouse beFRQYHUWHG WR HQHUJ\ HIFLHQW &)/ OLJKWEXOEV WR VDYH

Terry McNally: Terry asked about the Basketball

Tournament on August 17th. Kathy said that they had avery nice turn out with seven team competing. Joe saidRobert Gorzyca, who organized the event, will be gettinga plaque made with the winners names to hang in theclubhouse, which can be added to annually.

MAINTENANCE REPORTTO: Board of Directors, Property Manager, Co-Owners

FROM: Ken Wiewiora - Maintenance Superintendent

1. TRASH: There have been a much higher than normal trash issues this season. From constructionmaterials, to yard waste, to pet waste. Please help police our courts. Spread the word!! All trash needsto be in a black trash bag or a good heavy duty white kitchen bag. (NO Home depot or grocery bags areto be used for trash). The issues we are having are the bags are being broke open, or the trash is thrownin loose. Both of these create a hazard, smell, and attract little critters. Yard waste must be put out thenight before, and be in proper yard waste paper bags. No Plastic.

2. GROUNDS: Grounds restoration continues. Grounds crew is currently following close behind theVHDVRQVFRQFUHWHSURMHFWV,QEHWZHHQZRRGFKLSVDUHEHLQJVSUHDGDGGLWLRQDOO\RWKHUOOHUZRUNRUGHUrequests are being attend to. The refreshed west side 8 mile sign will be put back up this week. Thestructure was repaired, sand blasted, and powder coated. The letters have also been repaired and painted.Earl is currently making another round of weed spray on the asphalt and concrete cracks. Sprinklersare mostly shut down, a few systems are still running (at a minimum) to prevent burn out along SilverSpring drive. The 8 mile entrance planting projects were completed last week. Once the sign is installedwe will look at relocating the sign lighting.

HIGHLAND LAKES COMMITTEE REPORTCOMMITTEE: Grounds MEETING DATE: August 12, 2013

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:

Meeting opened with a discussion of the landscaping installed on the west side of the Eight

Mile Rd. entrance to Highland Lakes. It was generally thought it seemed very skimpy lookingand additional planting was needed. A proposed plan was discussed for enhancing the areaand an agreement was reached, upon which a vote was taken to recommend it to the board.

After the meeting it was realized that part of the recommended plan was not going to workand a follow up email & phone vote was taken to rescind the vote to recommend the plan tothe board. A new plan will be developed with more forethought.

Discussion of landscaping as opposed to gardening which is what we are primarily into at thistime of the year, eventually got to weeding, of which not much seems to be taking place thisyear.

Shrub removal request form to go out in the September Herald. If a co-owner has a tree thatrelates to their unit that should come down, that requires a work order for maintenance to takecare of.

Sub-committee established to pursue idea of landscaping the area across from Ross Fogg Dr.where it comes into Silver Spring Dr. as shown in the HLCA Master Plan. Three volunteered.

Sub-committee established to plan for a community day removing invasive plants in SilverSpring Woods. Five volunteered.

Opened a bit of conversation regarding rain gardening to clean up run off into our lakes. Thisto be looked into further

September SongIts a long, long time from May to December, And the days

grow shorter when you reach September.

From the Broadway Show Knickerbocker Holiday (1930) - (Maxwell Anderson / Kurt Weill)

Summers over (well, by September 21). Labor Day has come and gone, thekids are back in school, vacations are over back to work, day in and dayout, 9 to 5 nothing happening until Thanksgiving.

BUT WAIT, its September. Football weekends are here and surely, Michigan and Michigan Statewill end up 1-2 in the Big 10 (or 12, whatever). The cider mills are open. You can watch the

apples being pressed at Parmenters.

Or you can ride out Seven Mile a few miles to Obstbaums, (open Saturdays and Sundays), justnorth on Currie Road. While you get your cider you can watch the donut making assembly line

and see why donuts are also called fried cakes.

)DOOJROQJLVJUHDWHVSHFLDOO\ZKHQWKH\EORZWKHOHDYHVRIIWKHIDLUZD\V7KH1RUWKYLOOHMarket is still open on Thursdays. Crisp, juicy apples, and peaches, pumpkins, zucchini, corn andtomatoes everywhere; Fresh Michigan produce.

Then take a walk along the Living Wall just kitty-corner from themarket.

After Summers hot farewell at the end of August the moderatingtemperatures of September invite some walking tours. Wander throughthe Yerkes cemetery on Eight Mile. Then stroll through the Mill Race

Historical Village on Griswold. Visit the Yerkes house. It was builtin 1873 by William Purdy Yerkes and wife Sarah (Cady) YerkesFKLOGUHQRI1RUWKYLOOHSLRQHHUV,WVWRRGRQWKHVRXWKVLGHRI&DG\near Center and was moved to Mill Race in 1975.

I could say Autumn is my favorite season. But then if Im not in the season I love then I lovethe season Im in. (Sounds like an old Sinatra song).

On a personal note, our family is throwing an 80 60 for Joanie and me in September. Joanieturned 80 on August 29, and we have been married 60 years as of September 5.

Te women who gather at the club house each Wednesday aernoon to play pinochle arerequently treated to the unveiling oDARLENE HARTMANS latest sewing

creation. One may think o quilting as a school home economics project (ishome economics still taught in our high schools?), but Darlenes creationsare true works o art.

Darlene, who lives on Windsor Court, has been quilting or over twentyyears and, to date, has created between sixty and seventy quilts. Darlene began

her sewing, which is much more than a hobby, when her children were little andattending a sewing class was a night out or the young mother. Every member o her amilyand many close riends have been the lucky recipients o her artul sewing. She has especiallyenjoying creating outfts or the American Girl dolls owned by her nine and seven year old grand-daughters. She has created many outfts or the dolls including Irish and ice-skating costumes,First Communion Dresses and raincoats and bonnets.

Darlene is a member o Our Lady o Victory congregation and or the past six years as beenan active contributor to the womens sewing auxiliary, the Stitching Busy Bodies. Darleneguesses that she spends about feen hours a week on these projects. But as with all her sewingis a pleasurable pass-time. Tis group supplies inant and baby goods to new mothers. Shehas sewn many diaper bags, baby quilts and other items needed or new-borns. Tis year thegroups und-raiser involved the auctioning o two sets o doll clothes. Teir eortgarnered $200 or the parish school and another $200 or Habitat or Humanity.

Darlene enjoys all sorts o needle work, including embroidery,crocheting, and knitting. A hand-created gi rom Darlene is surelyto be prized. She also has shared her love o hand-sewn creationsby teaching small classes o interested women. Her frst quiltingclass was at the Birmingham Community Center. She is currentlysharing her talent and guiding the eorts o two o the regulars atthe Wednesday pinochle gathering.

September! How fast the summer of 2013 has slipped away.

Even though the weather was often not cooperative, we stillmanaged to pull off some really nice events. As always, the

Hot Dog Daze were successful, despite occasional raindrops

and cool breezes. Highland Days with the Magic Show and pulled

pork Kathy Baldwins tasty specialty was a well attended event. Everyone

had a super time at the Ice Cream Extravaganza. The entertainers played old favorites such

as Proud Mary as well as country tunes and songs geared to the youngsters, who danced

and pranced and had a ball!

Now that Fall is here, we have even more fun times planned. There will be a Halloweenevent for the kids who will follow the spooky trail around Silver Spring Lake. Theyll be

treated to cider and donuts when they reach the beach, but theyll have their share of tricks

as ghouls and witches make their appearances along the path.

There will also be an Adult Christmas Party. I have it on good authority that there are

plans for some nice prizes, which everyone will enjoy. There is also a Christmas Caroling

night scheduled at the Clubhouse. There will be details for these get-togethers in future

Heralds.

Also, if youre a fan of camping out, there will be a repeat of the camp-out which was heldlast year. Adults and Kids camped out on Silver Spring Beach and had a blast. The camp-

out will be held on September 14th this year. September 14th is also the day when there will

If youre new to Highland Lakes or just havent made it to any events, come over and meet

your neighbors. Youll get a warm welcome guarantee! If you have an interest, we have a

committee for you.

Dont want to join a committee? Okay. Maybe youll enjoy coming to the new Craft

Night starting this year. Theres a page on that in this Herald.

Hope to see you soon!
