MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

During this month Board and Committee Members will be knocking on

your door to explain and actually allow you to vote on the proposed

Amendment to update our age qualifications to be a resident of our

Community. The Board voted 8 to 1 in favor of the Amendment to be

passed. What it does is enforce our standing as a 55+ Community, and

raise our minimum age from 16 to 40, while still allowing certified live

in aides, as well as family members who might not be of age, to live

with any Homeowner who needs assistance with daily health and living

requirements. It also allows any family that inherits a home by will or

intestate to be able to live there.

Most people we have talked to that live here, had two main reasons to

buy here; 1) because it is a 55+ Community and 2) because we allow 1

small pet, which tells us there is a huge demand for 55+ Communities.

Some people wondered if it would limit the amount of buyers, should

you want to sell, but most of us agree there would probably be more,

not less that desire what we offer, I know it is exactly why we bought

here. The lifestyle and living conditions of a 55+ Community are very

desirable to seniors, opposed to those that prefer no age restriction.

The Amendment will only be in force for new buyers, and does not

affect people who are already here.

At this open, general meeting, Monday Feb. 8th (FLYER ENCLOSED) we

will also be discussing possible solutions for the pet complaints we have

been receiving. Another Open General meeting, has been added to our

March 14th meeting, which will require all input for the newsletter to be

submitted by Feb. 15th.

As Always, Sheila and I wish you all good health and happiness.

*Edna Way-East side only between

Wanda and Connie- West side only

between Wanda and Atlantic

*Lucy Drive-West side from Connie to

West End (near Atlantic and Via Flora)

You must pick up your pets waste at

all times

Pet must be on a leash

If you violate any of the above rules

you pet will be determined a nui-

sance by the Board of Directors, and

as such, can be disposed of as per

article 7 of Exhibit 1 of the Declaration

of Covenants, Conditions and

Restrictions, which read as follows:

“If any pet becomes a nuisance, as

determined solely by the Board of

Directors, the owner of such pet

covenants, and Agrees to dispose of

such pet within (10) days after written

Pepsi and Coke, we all grew up drinking these

sodas, never suspecting that they cause

cancer. The potential risk for this disease is

not limited to Pepsi or Coke but includes all

colas and other brown drinks that are made

with a caramel color. These soft drinks often

contain 4-methylimidazole (4-mel), a potential

carcinogen.

An analysis conducted by Consumer Reports

and The John Hopkins Bloomberg School of

Public Health tested 110 samples of colas and

other soft drinks purchased in California and

the New York metropolitan region. Excluding

a clear soda, used as a control, the average

soda contained 4-mel levels ranging from3.4

to 352.5 micrograms per oz. Although the

Federal government does not limit the amount

of 4-mel in food and drinks (Consumer Affairs

did make them aware of this danger),

California law requires manufactures to label

products sold in the state with a warning

about cancer if they expose consumers to

more than 29 mcg of 4-mel per day.

In order to estimate the potential cancer risk,

seven years of data from the National Health

and Nutrition Examination Survey analyzed

the consumption of soda in a typical 24-hour

period. People who drink soda in significant

amounts normally consume from a little more

than one 12-oz. can to almost 2.5 cans. in a

day which puts them at a considerable risk for

cancer.

The additive 4-Mel in carbonated drinks

contributes to about 25% of the diet of people

older than age 2, more than any other source.

This additive, whose other purpose is to color

food brown, is found in other foods as well.
