After putting off the election for months, the Board finally "got around to it". Only six months late! After all sorts of "INTERNAL" problems and issues involving Savard, Roach, and Stamper.... and of course the association attorney David Peters.. the Board is trying to convince us that they deserve re election. What a bunch of HOOEY!

In the first place the reason there are SEVEN seats up for election is because we have not had a "legal election" since 2007. That's right! Not since 2007!! And the only reason that one was legal is because a judge erroneously ruled that he could extend the quorum change into a year not at issue in the hearing. By legal, we mean that the standards required for the votes to be counted (a quorum) was not reached for the affected years.


Why you might ask is this the case? Well, it is our opinion that the board was too busy dealing with their own schisms, infighting, ego trips, and of course squandering almost a quarter of a million dollars pursuing our previous lake manager, Don Harris. And trying to protect themselves against future law suits. The association attorney was questioned about this at a recent board meeting by a homeowner, and admitted the number was "north of 160,000.00" but would not say exactly how much has been spent on his services thus far. Other sources cite documents indicating over $200,000 in legal fees.


It has been pretty clear to us, and others who have kept up on the activities of this board that at the very least Stamper, Savard, and Roach should be kicked as far off the board as possible. In the past they have inundated us with rhetoric to hoodwink us into voting for them. Those who criticized them for what appeared to them as self promoting, and private agenda driven actions as the "executive committee" in complete charge of the law suit against Mr. Harris (which has cost the association almost a quarter of a million dollars over the past 4 years, once every thing is considered.) were intimidated, slandered, or denigrated. Everyone already knows, who was around in 2006 and 2007 how these men openly led a campaign against Mr. Harris, but also others in the community like Don Beckendorf, Christopher Carnes, Lucy Walund, Jim and Judy Hyneman, and others who took issue with their pretexts, professions, and platitudes.


So we are going to try to provide you with some factual information which we hope will cause you to do some of your own investigating, and come to a rational conclusion and vote for a complete change of the board, as much as is possible.


We also invite your comments. We are happy to publish comments which address the issues of importance to our community. This site is not "aimed at anyone". We are very open about the fact that we disapprove strongly with the way the board has operated during the past several years. We believe that it is time for a change in the leadership of this community. We have strong opinions about certain individuals who are currently on the board, and strong opinions about some who are running for the board. We also have strong opinions about a couple of the contractors working for the association. We intend to publish facts, information, and opinion which, we think once you evaluate for yourselves, will assist you in electing folks who REALLY have the best interest of our community at heart.

Remember, rhetoric and words are cheap and easy to spout. But what will people do once they are in office? These are the questions to be asked. And fortunately for us, the folks who are running for the board this year EACH has a track record which can be examined. Let's agree about this: actions speak louder than words!!! And let's focus on those who are running for the board. We are not creating a forum here for bashing anyone we don't like; nor will we allow others to do that. At this time, this blog site is dedicated to issues which affect us all, and which will be affected by the outcome of this election.

Let us hear from you! It would be nice if you signed your name to your post. But if you prefer to remain anonymous that is ok also. We reserve the right to edit posts if we deem they are too personal, use profanity, sexual or racial slurs, or are not generally relevant to the issues.
