Some weeks
ago, a moving van
stuck and
destroyed
the phone access system at the
east gate. The damage was sufficient to require a full replacement
of the aged hardware, a major upgrade of the software and a complete replacement of the old phone
system at both gates. That installation took a lot of time and caused
some disruptions of service. It required re-loading the prior old system data containing directory
names, gate clickers, cards and 4digit PIN codes. Most of the cost
was paid for by the insurance carrier of the firm who owned the vehicle.
Shortly afterwards another vehicle
damaged a component of one of
the entry directories. That caused
some clickers, cards and codes not
to work, or work intermittently for
some residents.
As a result of all these past events,
we now must purge the system and
re-enter all data (names, codes,
clickers and cards) from scratch; and
to verify all data with each and every
resident. Your assistance will be required in this process.
This major verification and re-coding
project will begin later this summer.
Cadden, our management company,
will mail you full information, instructions and a form to complete and
return. On the transition date (later
this summer), your current remote
clicker, gate entry card, four-digit
gate access code, name (entered
into the phone directory at the gate),
etc. will be deleted from the gate entry system and replaced by the data
you submit on the form. It is critical
that you return the form once you
receive it. Exact dates for this mailing and deadline is to be determined. You do not need to do anything right now, and all your gate
clickers, cards and entry codes will
continue the same until the transition.
We wanted to provide a heads-up on
this future project. You will receive
further information on this conversion within the next few weeks.
Pool Closing Time
Reminder… in the interest of safety and quiet enjoyment of the neighbors,
both pools close at 10 pm. No one is allowed to use the pools after that
hour. Signs at the pool gates have been reposted and Tucson Police have
been informed. They will charge anyone (resident or not) with trespassing if
found in the pool after 10 pm.

From the President
Hi Neighbors,
Rather than bring everyone up to date on what is happening in our community, I would like to
send out a "Plea" to parents living here in this community.
Don't get me wrong, I am not singling out or accusing any certain individuals of causing vandalism in our community.
I do want to emphasize that parents make it clear to their children and young adults that our
association will not allow vandalism or misconduct in our community go unanswered. Most of
the recent "events" have been occurring since school has let out for the summer.
Also, keep in mind, that the completion of cameras being installed in all locations are almost done, and we will
prosecute those individuals, when witnessed on camera.
We all have to pitch in and keep our community a wonderful and SAFE place to live. Thanks for your understanding.
Regards,
Mel Silverman, President

Kathy’s Pet Corner
Kathy Harris
Recently my dogs and I had a distressing encounter with an ‘off leash’ dog
that could have had a tragic ending. I
want to write about the seriousness of
this in hopes that it will bring to light the
DOGS ON LEASH rule!
My dogs are larger and can sometimes make taking a
walk a challenge. I am always mindful of their reactions to both humans and other dogs. I watch their
body language closely, which will tell me if we need to
do a ‘sit, wait, leave it’, or if we can just keep on going
past the so called obstacle. We are under the direction
of a well-known trainer, who has worked with us on
the best way to react to dogs they may feel are a
threat.
Not too long ago I took both out to the big lake for a
lovely early evening walk. We were doing well until we
approached the Rec Center. The grass was a bit slippery due to watering, so I was mindful of my footing.
Out from the playground and across the parking lot
came a small dog at high speed, barking furiously and
racing head long towards myself and my dogs! Of
course, their first reaction is to take on this upstart
challenger…now I’m being pulled by 150 lbs of dogs
who are defending the ‘Goddess of Everything Holy’.
I’m struggling to keep my footing, the little dog is yapping his challenge, his owner is screaming his name at
the top of her lungs. I manage to get a foothold on the
curb and stop my dogs, she snatches hers up and
then stands in front of us apologizing, but not yet regaining full control of her dog. Adrenaline pumping I
yell at her to “GET YOUR DOG ON A LEASH…NOW!!!”
Fortunately another person witnessed this near disaster and told me ‘the off leash dog issue is an everyday
event’.
Now, had I been forced to let the leashes go for my
own safety would the scenario have played out differently? My dogs would have more than likely attacked
this dog, possibly injuring it enough to kill it. (That dog
is approx. 35 lbs, mine combined are 150 lbs.). The
news media of course would hype that a ‘small dog
attacked and killed in upscale neighborhood’, not getting the full story of how THEY were on leash and the
OTHER dog and owner were breaking the rules and
that dog challenged.
What happens if the story changes to an older resident who is injured due to another dog approaching
their on leash dog and they fall, or their dog is attacked? Or even more disastrous, if the older resident
got injured by trying to break up a fight? Would this
now convince you to KEEP YOUR DOGS ON LEASH FOR
THE SAFETY OF ALL OUR RESIDENTS AND PETS?
It would be more pleasant to walk dogs in our beautiful, sidewalk enhanced neighborhood, if one doesn’t
have to constantly be on the lookout for the residents
or guests who feel that it is their right to have their
dogs off leash. This is NOT a dog park; it is a residential neighborhood that falls under the laws of the
County. If you feel your dog needs to have ‘freedom to
run’, please take it to a dog park.
Do you have ideas for a pet related story? Do you have
comments or questions? Would you be interested in a
dog trainer holding a question/answer session on pet
behaviors? Please email me at: [email protected].
By As a courtesy to all our neighbors,
PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR PETS!

Gate Code Procedures
1. The existing codes will remain in the 6/6 time frame, and residents will be notified well in advance if and
when the codes will change.
2. The 6 PM to 6 AM will remain as it is now, because the board has decided, due to vandalism, that we do not
want to become more vulnerable by inviting individuals in with borrowed codes.
3. There will be no codes that allow access after 6 PM.
4. If you have a problem accessing after 6 PM, then you can dial up Security and they will allow you access.
This is not meant to be used on an ongoing situation, only for emergency access or if you are coming home
from vacation and no one is home to allow access.
Attention All Residents… All Vehicles With Trailers Must Use East Gate:
Please tell your landscapers and others using trailers to enter at the East gate, rather than the West
gate. Some, not all, have trailers that have a rear platform/ramp that catches the arm when they go
through. These are the real culprits to knocking down the arms. Thank you.
