Too Much Walking ????????????

Well here is a new waste of security and management time !!   Seems we have someone that wants to file a complaint that their neighbors upstairs walk too much ???? REALLY !!

 This had been reported to security , management and board..Cmon folks we live in a multi family

unit here and I could see if someone had TV or stereo up way to loud in late hours..BUT People should not be able to walk at night ??

This is just  ridicules, how some of these complaints even gain merit to be discussed...But yes it is happening...

To those that are complaining..Maybe its time to buy a house ..........We have finally gotten a community that has started to work together for the first time in many years, These kind of silly complaints need to be lost in the wind, so we can deal with legitimate problems here.

One the discussion that is opening in community about FHA Loans approved here possibly ???

Which Way Should Your Ceiling Fan Turn in Summer? The Cool Way!

1. "During the Summer you want the fan to blow air straight down, so your ceiling fan needs to run in a counter clockwise direction (as you look up at it). The warmer it is, the higher the speed should be. During the Winter, your fan should run at a low speed in a clockwise direction."

Anniversary and Anasazi Friends

2 years ago today after being Married, Maggie and I came home to a surprise party given by our Neighbors and friends here at Anasazi...This is why this community is what we call home for 11 years...Still having these wonderful people here to call Neighbors and friends and still have the feeling of community here...Thanks for the calls today and wishes.

Fitness Room Closed For Repairs

After Sundays pouring rain, It was discovered that there was a pretty significant leak in the roof over fitness room. It will be closed during may for repairs and remodel...

Goood Job Wayne & Crew..!!

After this last 2 weeks of chaos here trying to get this parking job done,

 There is NO doubt that Wayne should get one hell of a pat on the back..Along with the crew

.And most of our Board a Kick in the Butt !!

Going to lay it down bluntly as always here,

  For almost 2 weeks Wayne and crew was out from sun up to sundown  trying to keep order here.To make this as easy for residents as possible..Some of you ignored all warning and made it diffucult for the rest of us

And believe me I was out there at many different times to witness the complete chaos people were causing Complaining, running over barricades SPEEDING and just being complete dumbbell's

Wayne and crew also stated that the speed here is out of hand, and again through this week

we saw about 80% of SPEEDERS were nice ole grey haired Ladies with the foot of a giant.

.Please slow down, after seeing the way many of you elders drive in this lot,

But through this all Wayne and his crew kept a smiling face through this adventure, Which I guarantee most of us would not have been able to deal with


Now Lets get to a big discussion that this brought up this week

With the exception of Paul Jensen who was out often watching over project, We never saw another board member show there face..PERIOD


What you new board members elected this year need to comprehend is these are the opportunities to show your faces and get involved

Here is the bottom line !!  If you were elected in last election and you are someone other than Faye Roberts , Its time you earn the respect of residents here

Faye was the ONLY ONE voted in with a mixture of all residents,  OVER 178 VOTES

 The rest of you were all elected with about 60-80 votes after the winter visitors banded together to get their folks in ??

 So your votes did not come from a majority that live here year round...

YOU ONLY RECEIVED  ABOUT 10% OF  ENTIRE VOTE HERE...NO MAJORITY BY ANY COUNT

SO YOU NEW BOARD MEMBERS DO NOT HAVE THE SUPPORT OF FULL TIME RESIDENTS AS YOU ALL THINK, AND THEIR HAS BEEN MANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS AROUND THE COMMUNITY AS OF LATE...

Time to Step Up......

AND EARN YOU NEW SPOT BY GETTING THE COMMUNITY UNIFIED AFTER MANY YEARS OF OLD BOARD DIVISION HERE

THANKS WAYNE AND CREW, YOUR HARD WORK THIS WEEK IS APPRECIATED BY MANY ...LOT LOOKS GREAT AND REALLY IT WAS DONE PRETTY SIMPLE,

IT WAS THE FEW SIMPLETONS HERE THAT COULDN'T GET IT

Clubhouse Refurbishing ??

After speaking with many residents as of late, There seems to be a concern about the refurbishing of clubhouse..Now this does not reflect on Dana Jones whats so ever as I support her fully as board member, BUT many residents  have discussed a designer here Rather than a group of well intentioned but not experienced decorators

I think that with this community  getting back up to the standards of years ago, Many are asking why we don't spend the couple thousand dollars to have a "REAL DECORATOR" come in and do a design for clubhouse??

With so many properties in the surrounding areas and the clubhouse is the first thing potential buyers see , Many here believe this should be done in the proper way and not a group of Ladies turning it into Holly Hobby design here...We need to get rid of the OUTDATED LOOK . ...NOT add another outdated look...With Mary Jordan working hard here to increase prices of units here, we should think about this refurbish a bit more than originally thought

WE ARE A COMMUNITY WITH OVER 3/4 OF A MILLION DOLLARS IN RESERVE AND WE ARE NICKEL AND DIMEING THIS PROJECT

This clubhouse needs to be updated and done by those with experience ...Not reusing metal or copper trim that went out in the 80"s  OR TRYING TO BUDGET LIKE WE ARE SECTION 8

THIS IS SOMETHING RESIDENTS NEED TO AGREE ON NOT JUST A GROUP OF 5 HERE!!!!  

Here are some examples of some other clubhouses in AZ  that are updated

County Pool Inspector Visits Anasazi

On Monday morning we had a visit from the city pool inspectors office, from the looks of things we had some issues that needed to be addressed with Jacuzzi Safety Drains ?

 Looks like repairs were made and Jacuzzis refilled..

Also have learned that our pool fencing is not high enough or up to code ? This may be an expenditure that is upcoming and should be addressed at next future meeting with residents if this is something we do need here at Anasazi

Resident Letter ???

rosie Merrill <rosiemerrill8000@hotmail.com>
to me

Hello, my name is Rosie and I just moved in to in building 2. I think we should have a community singles night or pool party at the clubhouse sometime. As a 70 year old woman, it is hard for me to meet new men -- particularity because I like them much younger! There are a few 40 year old men around the complex I have had my eye on and would love to meet them!

What does everyone think

Pool Gates Not Locked ???

After 2 more issues last week with folks in pool after 2am, I asked office and a board member how come pool gates were left open ??

The answer was we stopped locking them and paying the few extra bucks after the winter visitors left ???

This is not an option, We should not be left at the mercy of late night shenanigans just because its summer...DO WE HAVE DIFFERENT RULES HERE FOR WINTER VISITORS ??


I am hoping we start locking pools again as of 4/27 or this may be a issue to take legally ??

Same rules and amenities for all....If this issue is not resolved by our office and board , we may as full time residents take this in our own hands


I thought we were over this 2 sided adventure here with catering to the winter visitors...Lets see how this is handled in the next few days.... Board solving this issue ?? and not 1 month from now. lets get this issue fixed immediately. 

This is not a good start to try to unite winter visitors with Full time residents when there is different rules....  

The separation  between winter visitors and full time residents  here is growing much to the chagrin of many here, who hoped for unity after all these years ....

Children and Jacuzzi's

As many of you have noticed we are blessed with the sound of children visiting Grand ma's and Grand pa's here at Anasazi, I also have grandchildren that visit often...and enjoy to watch them enjoy our pools

BUT a alarming fact here as of late as many parents are Allowing their children to use jacuzzi as a kids pool...and spending long periods of time in Jacuzzi     -DANGEROUS-

THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND PUTTING ANASAZI AT HIGH RISK WITH NO RULES OR WARNING SIGNS TO HALT THIS BEHAVIOR HERE

The Red Cross and many other reputable web sights have said that Jacuzzis should only be used by those Children 5 and over and many say 12 yrs and older

I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SUBJECT THAT NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST DISCUSSED WITH ALL BOARD MEMBERS...Tragedies happen,

We see it every night in Arizona with Pool and jacuzzis and children...... lets just prevent them here best as we can ??

Hot Tub Safety Tips

Infants and toddlers should not be permitted in a hot tub at all as babies' thin skin makes them more susceptible to overheating. Also, since little ones have very little control over bodily functions, spas become unsanitary almost instantly when "accidents" happen.

No young child should be allowed in a hot tub until they can stand on the bottom and have their head remain completely out of the water. Children who are big enough to be in a hot tub should not use it for more than five minutes at a time, especially at the maximum temperature of 104 degrees. Dropping the spa temperature to 98 degrees would allow for longer soaks – but never more than 15 minutes at a time. It is also recommended that young children avoid full body immersion, choosing instead to sit on "jump seats" that some spas have that permit waist-high immersion.

All persons, and especially young children, should be encouraged to drink fresh water while they're soaking. If the bather feels sick to their stomach, dizzy and/or sleepy, they should exit the spa immediately.

Responsible Adult Supervision is Key to Child Pool, Hot Tub Safety and Water Safety. There should always be an adult designated to maintain constant visual contact with children whenever they are near, or could get near, any body of water.

Children and Hot Tubs   
 By Rose Welton

Hot tubs can be dangerous for children. Photo Credit pool spa 1 image by Aaron Kohr from Fotolia.com

Hot tubs can provide a relaxing experience for adults, but can be dangerous for children. A child is especially vulnerable to the heat of a hot tub, and drowning and infection risks are also present. Before letting your child use a hot tub, be sure that he is old enough and familiarize yourself with safety precautions.

Age Limit

Babycenter states that children under the age of 5 years should not use hot tubs. This is because young children can overheat more quickly than adults. Your child should also be tall enough to stand in the center of the hot tub and still keep her head above the water to help prevent drowning.

Overheating

If your child is old enough to be in a hot tub, you still need to prevent him from becoming overheated. If he is overheated, his heart may begin to race. High temperatures can cause drowsiness, unconsciousness, heat stroke or death. Keep the temperature in the hot tub below 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and do not allow your child to be in the hot tub without adult supervision.

I'm a Water Safety Instructor through the Red Cross, and special attention is given to children and hot water. Most public pools will not allow children under 12 in a hot tub, although the Red Cross recommends no children under age 5, explaining that "children cannot cope physically with the heat, which may cause hyperthermia and other harmful effects." Small children have a different body temperature regulation system than adults and they will overheat much more quickly. S and the water temperature matters also. Generally if it's lower than 102-104 degrees, children in the 5 to 12 range should spend NO MORE than about 10 minutes at a time in the hot water and should NEVER submerge head. Mostly just watch for flushed skin and sluggish or sleepy behavior after he's been in the jacuzzi for a while (possible signs of heat exhaustion - cool him gradually with cool compresses), and make sure he gets plenty to drink!

Coincindence or Reality---BIKE THEFTS !!!!

ANASAZI RESIDENT  ARRESTED FOR $26,000 IN BIKE THEFTS  !!!!

You read it here 1st...........

Now many of you remember a year or so ago , we had an issue where one of our security officers was falsely accused of being rough on a young man who was causing a ruckus here in community on a regular basis. His family got upset at board meeting ?? 

Only to find out it was all a farce  against security here for Breaking up Rowdy Clubhouse parties and alleged underage drinking arranged by this young man in our community clubhouse

Well seems this young man  Andrew Raad may still stay on property from time to time and had access to amenities keys here at Anasazi

HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR $26,000 IN BIKE THEFTS

We have reported this story to Officer Nielsen here in hopes someone may look into this and see if there is a connection here with the bike thefts as of late ?? or just a coincindence ?

Thought this might be of interest to the many here who have had bikes stolen '

MANY OF YOU MAY WANT TO SEE IF YOUR BIKE IS ON STOLEN LIST!

PARADISE VALLEY, AZ (KPHO/KTVK) -

Paradise Valley Police said they have arrested two men after recovering $26,000 worth of stolen property.

Several days later, the victim found listings for bikes he believed were his on Craigslist. Detectives went to a bike shop in Mesa. 

The trail began on March 30, when a home was burglarized and two racing bicycles along with some equipment were found missing.

The business owners provided a pawn slip for each of the bicycles, according to a police report.

Police arrested Dane Raber, 19, of Tempe, on April 7, after his name was found connected to the pawn slips.

Detective said they also identified Andrew Raad, 21, of Scottsdale, as another suspect.

Raber and Raad were booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail on felony charges of theft and trafficking in stolen property.

Calm Down Community...Pleeeeze !!

For over the last 2 months many many announcement's concerning this parking lot refurbish were sent out, addressed at many meeting and signs placed everywhere so that  unless you were blind you YOU HAD TO SEE THEM

Already on day one this place has been filled with Nuts!! Yes Nuts, 

After speaking with Wayne late this afternoon he was taken back by todays first day of the job, He was flipped off, swore at and also had many threaten to sue Anasazi

1ST DAY - Office had to tow over 25 cars alone

This kind of interference will only prolong the time of the job and again cost us more money due to a few knotheads that dont want to follow protocol

This is a call out to all that live here or rent...Patience is going to be needed this next week from everyone, No one wants to walk further than normal or have to park in a different spot...BUT It has to be done, You all ask for progress and when it knocks on your door you dont answer

Do please see the attached maps and put your Big Boy and Big Girl Pants on this week and deal with this 5 day upheaval here that will result in a more beautiful grounds and also increase the value here...

Everyone asked for progress and we have it ...lets not interfere...keep those chins up and a week from now it will be a horror story told at pools lol..

Too those who had your cars towed it was a $50 charge...

SO LETS SEE SOME WORKING TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY THIS WEEK AND GET THROUGH THIS MUCH NEEDED BEAUTIFICATION HERE

It Happened ...Thank You !!

Well with the asphalt and parking lot repairs here starting soon, It was great to see they have added the 7 speed bumps voted on at last meeting

I would like to personally thank those Board members who voted this much needed addition to our parking lots.

For over 3 years I petitioned the "Old Board" to at least look into a solution for the speeding here, To No Avail.

After presenting this to our "New Board" We had a vote in a matter of weeks and completion in days!!    Hopefully this will allow folks to back out with out thinking they are on a runway, and with the large amount of children visiting here at Anasazi as of late, or elderly just trying to throw garbage I believe this is also very helpful in preventing an accident..

Thank You for Honoring this request

Very clearly just Respect the speed limit here and respect those in our community who share the driveways

Flying over the speed bumps should not be an option.......

Board is considering a fine for those habitual speeders..

Reader Complaint??

Last weekend after posting a very nice Passover and Easter post on Saturday,

Anasazi Talk put up a bit of humor posting the below picture...... but it offended 1 person who left us this comment..I thought I would Share, Just in case you wonder the variety of emails and calls I receive on a weekly basis....Yep !!! I Know

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "As Stated": 

As a Christian resident of this community, I am applied that this would be posted in a forum that is supposed to be used to better our living environment. This is as bigoted as demeaning someone because of their race. 

Any person that practices religion would find this offensive, as you are supposed to love one another and not be cruel. I'm quite sure atheists would feel the same...
