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.

*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.
