THE RECENT HEADLINES ARE NOT PRETTY!
A few days ago --one of our Sector 2 officers was seriously injured and nearly lost her life. Sgt Marcy Pearce was literally ran over by a young 15 year old ''PUNK''. The officer was involved in a function of serving a juvenile warrant. ----BUT--- in this day and age----NO law enforcement officer, works with out risk!
In the past 2 years ,we have lost 2 young area officers, killed on duty ,answering minor calls.
I know that all the Fairways good residents, wish and pray for a quick and full recovery of Sgt. Pearce.
I have sent Capt. Garrison, the commander of Sector 2, an Email on the Fairways residents behalf, to extend a ''get well& speedy recovery'' to Sgt Pearce.
OUR NEW PROUD MEETING PLACE!
AFTER SIX YEARS OF PLANNING--THIS PROJECT STARTED ON MAY 25 OF THIS YEAR
Yes---there were some bumps in the road and a 3 month overrun----BUT---- There is not a nicer or even a comparable meeting facility in all of East Orange County!
All of us are not happy with the final design and placements of the amenities--But--lets work together to make adjustments and agreements with HTA for the betterment of ALL RESIDENTS!
One of our major concern is the security issues for both residents and the expensive investments in the hall.
It is a pitiful comment that a petty theft has already occurred!---YES--3 decorated pillows were stolen in the first week,after opening.
In the years past--there was an old pool table that was first located in the Masters. Later it was moved to the Greenbrier. The old pool table was always an attraction to the outside moochers and ''whatevers''. Too many times neighborhood watch was called about the young outsiders causing a runkus!
We need to protect this new valuable asset and the other valuable items!
At a HOA board meeting ,sometime ago---Mrs Herrick was discussing, the new features of the remodeled Masters.---She noted that security cameras would be installed in and around the building.
After Priscilla left--a resident suggested that the HOA question the attorney in regards to the ''camera privacy act''
I and other residents failed to understand having and needing security cameras in a PUBLIC meeting area.
I would believe that HTA did do the proper and diligent thing by installing,a good quality surveillance system!
We would suggest ,--mounting a custom made ,attractive warning sign, as to a camera system, on and in the premises.
This warning would be better to deter a crime,---than to ''play catch me if you can''
The Orange county Sheriffs Office--- always describes ''crime deterrent as ''TARGET HARDENING''---That is what we need now than before!
Please do this----We have a great Director of Homeowners, --With Randy Muehl.---Take a few moments to drop Randy a note or memorandum, and give some good suggestions for him to take to Priscilla.
LETS WORK TOGETHER FOR POSITIVE CHANGE, NOT THE NEGATIVE CRAP---WE ALREADY KNOW MUCH OF THAT!
