NOTES FROM THE BOARD
Guest Suite: In early December the guest room was spruced up a bit by adding a few pictures, a plant and a towel bar. Lawson and Holmes Inc has volunteered to paint the room in the new year. Donations For Furnishing the Guest Suite: The television set currently in the guest suite is quite old and doesn’t have a remote control. If someone has a flat screen television (preferably a minimum of 20 inches and with a working remote) that is in storage and not being used and is willing to donate it for the guest suite, please contact Terri.
Another artificial plant would also be appreciated.

NAUTICA SECURITY
Russell Security personnel provide services to secure the assets of the Corporation and to provide peace of mind for the residents by means of regular patrols, emergency response and providing assistance as required.
A full perimeter patrol is to be conducted circling the entire facility.
A complete floor by floor tour must be conducted on the first patrol shortly after security personnel arrive on site. The patrol should commence on the top floor of each tower, starting with the mechanical area. A proper floor-by-floor patrol is conducted by using the stairwells and criss-crossing down and across each floor. Safety hazards, lights out, and noise problems are to be reported. Patrols thereafter should be on a randomized basis of floors.
All common area doors, garage doors and entrances (common use) must be secure (they do not check entrances of townhouse units).
The underground parking is checked for signs of damage, vandalism or unauthorized activity.
All cars in the visitor parking lot are checked for required parking permits for the current time period.
The party rooms are checked to ensure the facilities are secured at all times when not in use and the kitchen is checked for any safety issues. If the party rooms have been in use, security is responsible for securing them once the functions are completed. The washrooms are also checked for damage.
Regular patrols of the pool and spa area are conducted, including checking the change-rooms before locking them to ensure no one is remaining and also to ensure that the terrace door is locked.
Any inappropriate behaviour that could be dangerous or cause damage is to be reported.
Security personnel are trained in emergency first aid and CPR.
Each tower has its own mechanical room. The patrol looks for any signs of leaks, spills, and hazards from any of the equipment servicing the building. Notification to the Superintendent is required if leaks are found or local alarms are sounding on any equipment. Security should ensure the outside roof door is secured.
If a resident calls regarding a noise disturbance, the security guard shall obtain the details, document the event, and ask if the owner would like a call back after the unit in question has been visited. Security must attend the offending suite, advise the resident that a complaint has been made, and request an immediate reduction in the noise. The security guard shall then contact the complainant and provide an update if so requested. The security guard shall return at a later time to check on the noise level. If further complaints are received, the security guard will advise the complainant to contact the Barrie Police to attend. Security Personnel will contact police if disturbances occur in the common areas.
The security guard is responsible to attend requests for assistance. If any matter requires immediate attention, the superintendent should be notified. Security should not enter any suite unless for fire or flood. If required to enter a suite, security must obtain a witness such as a neighbour or site superintendent.

FRIENDS
Why do I have a variety of friends who are all different in character ?
Some of them can even be considered marginal ?
How do I get on with them all ?
I think that each one helps to bring out a "different" part of me...
With one of them I am a polite,
I joke with another friend.
I sit down and talk about serious matters with one of them.
With another I giggle at every silly thing.
I have my wine with one
And dance with another.
I listen to one friend's problems and give advice
Then I listen to another advising me.
They are all like pieces of a jigsaw,
When completed they form a treasure box.
A treasure of friends!
They are my friends who understand me better than myself, who support me through good
days and bad days.
They are like colourful anti-depressants that I take on different days.
Real Age doctors tell us that friends are good for our health.
Dr. Oz calls them Vitamins F (Friends) and counts the benefits of friends to our well being.
I am so happy that I have a stock of Vitamins F!
In summary we should value our friends and keep in touch with them.
We should try to see the funny side of things and laugh together, not forgetting to open
our mouths big to swallow the floating vitamins F !!!!
