BOARD COMMENTS
ParkingThere has been some confusion about the deeded parking spaces, so this explanation is being offered
and will hopefully resolve the issue:
Co-owners of Highland Lakes are permitted to have 2 cars in the courtyard lot and this is a two part
explanation.
1) Co-owners have what is called a deeded parking space. This is a space that the co-owner
has an ownership interest in by virtue of the Master Deed of the Association. It passes with
the title to the condominium and is recorded at the Register of Deeds as to its place. No matter
where co-owners agree to park among themselves, the location of the deeded space may not
be moved by verbal arrangements; that is to say that the recorded and deeded parking space
will transfer with the sale of the condominium, as to its recorded place. If neighbors verballyagree to switch parking spaces for ease of use, that is ne, but it does not alter the Master Deed
and it is just a nite agreement between neighbors. If the condominium has a garage, then the
garage is the deeded parking space.
2) Co-owners also have an assigned parking space. Remember that you are permitted to have
two vehicles in the lot, and therefore, you must have two places to park. When Highland
Lakes was built, there was a numbered space (deeded) and an un-numbered space (basically
assigned). At that point, the assigned space could be any one of the un-numbered spaces, rst
come, rst served. Most of the courtyards voted to double number the parking spaces long
ago, which means that the un-numbered spaces were numbered to bring some sensible layout
to the parking lots (i.e. the two spaces, deeded and assigned, were very often placed next toeach other. If the court voted to double-number, than the numbered spaces were reserved for
that particular unit.
What is the difference between deeded and assigned? The best way to describe it is the difference
between an ownership interest and a possessory interest. In some sense, all co-owners of
Highland Lakes comprise the Association and have an ownership interest in all common elements,
but for purposes of this simplied explanation, imagine the difference of owning a home, while
having a possessory interest in an apartment. This means that even though you do not own the
space, you are entitled to use it and eject someone from it, but the un-assigned space is not recorded
as being in that specic location for that specic condominium.
Hopefully, this will bring some explanation to the parking question. Please call the ofce if you have
any questions.

Front PorchesFront porches are the responsibility of each co-owner. When the board did the drive-around, it wasnoted that many porches were in disrepair.
If you need information regarding repair, contact Joe (248-349-4006) or refer to the many Heraldadvertisers that can help you accomplish the repairs.
PetsAll pets must be under the control of their owners at all times. A co-owner is delinquent in the care oftheir pet if it is not under their direct control at all times. If the pet is not within the connes of the unit
or conned within the patio area, it must be on a leash. If a co-owner fails to clean up after their pet oncommon ground, a letter will be sent. Failure to comply will result in the maintenance departmentshandling of the matter and a minimum charge of $75.00 will apply.
If someone is continually delinquent in the care of the pet, an injunction may be secured against themand the pet may be removed from their care. A barking dog in a unit or outside is a nuisance andthe association has the authority to insist that this problem be rectied. A letter will be sent to the co-owner requesting compliance.
Note To Committees:
Please be reminded that your minutes from your meetings need to be submitted to Shannon Crowleyno later than 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday prior to the monthly board meeting. This will ensure that itcan be included in the Board packets, which are delivered to the board of directors on the Friday priorto the board meetings. For those committees who have a problem meeting this deadline, the reportswill held over to the following months meeting. Reports can be emailed to [email protected] ordropped off to her at the clubhouse.
Thank You!Its been a great summer, lled with activities for residents and their families. Thank you to all whoparticipated in the events, and a special thanks to all who volunteered and contributed to the success
of these activities. Your involvement is so appreciated, and helps make Highland Lakes the wonderfulcommunity that it is.

HIGHLAND LAKES CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES - August 20, 2012
The monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of Highland Lakes Condominium Association was on the third Monday of the
month, in accordance with the By-Laws of the Association. President Kathy Baldwin called the August 20, 2012 regular
meeting of the Board of Directors to order at 7:30 p.m.
Attendance
The following Directors were present: Kathy Baldwin, Michelle Todorov, Kathleen Connor, Tom Byrne, Sandy Nolan,
Clem Tulley and Judy Nakdimen. Also present were Ken Wiewiora, Maintenance Superintendent, and Shannon Crowley,Administrative Assistant. Approximately 24 Co-Owners were also present.
Vision Committee Report: See page 17No member from the Vision Committee was present
to report. Kathy Baldwin read the report and
recommendation to the Board.Discussion: Kathleen expressed that the Grounds
Committee had been responsible for recommendinglandscaping on the property over the years, so shedidnt understand why it was necessary for the VisionCommittee to grant their approval to landscapingplans as well. Kathy explained that Vision & Groundscommittees had a joint meeting where there was a voteto pursue a landscaping plan from a professional nurserywhich would include removing the existing pillars fromthe east side Eight Mile entrance. The conict is thatwhen a professional landscaper was consulted, theyrecommended not removing the existing pillars; sincethis is contrary to what was agreed to at the joint meeting,the Vision Committee voiced their disapproval. BettyParzych reiterated that they had intended to get a planthat included removing the pillars, but the landscapedesigner strongly advised against it. Marti Tupperadded that they further toured other complexes andfound many used landscaping which included pillars.Kathleen agreed that keeping the pillars would retaincontinuity on both sides of the entrance.
Michelle stated that it is typically protocol to get bids
from three different companies for any project, whichhad not been done by the Grounds Committee for theEight Mile Sign. Ray disagreed saying that there arecompanies that we return to for projects on a regularbasis because of our past history with them where wedont obtain competing bids, (for example the cementwork on the property.) Highland Lakes has a goodhistory working with Plymouth Nursery, and they werewilling to provide us with a plan and free estimate. Othernurseries were approached, but they were unwilling toprovide a plan or estimate without an upfront fee.
Ray further referred to the minutes of the June board
meeting, which were published in the July 2012 issue
of the Herald (pg. 8), Kathy said that it was decided to let
Plymouth Nursery review both the east and west side and make aplan to compliment the entrance, and we would move forward once
a plan is accepted. Plymouth Nursery will be on site on June 19th
to review the area. Ray continued saying that a member
of the Vision Committee was also present at the June
19th consultation and heard the recommendation by
Plymouth Nursery to keep the pillars. Additionally, Ray
said that Kathy was present at the July Grounds meeting
when the plans were reviewed and the recommendation
was prepared for the boards approval. Ray questioned
why she didnt question the recommendation or request
additional bids at that time.
Tom recalled that at the July board meeting, the board
directed Grounds and Vision to meet again to further
discuss the plans and bring a joint recommendation to
the board; Tom asked whether that had been done yet.
Ray answered that Kathy was going to arrange a joint
meeting, and he hadnt been notied of a date as of yet.
Kathy agreed to set up a joint meeting for the Grounds
and Vision committees.
Board Action: Motion by Tom Byrne support by Judy
Nakdimen to accept the Vision Committee Report
dated August 1, 2012 and table their recommendation.
All in favor. Motion passed.
Discussion:Tom remarked that current landscaping on
the Eight Mile entrance is very attractive, and thanked the
Grounds Committee for their hard work in beautifying
that entrance. Donna McNally stated that she thought
the Vision Committee was an ad hoc committee, and
questioned if it was made a full committee. Kathy stated
that it was made a full committee in 2010. [approved
by the board of directors in February, 2010 according to their
committee bylaws]
Approval of Minutes:Minutes of the July 16, 2012 Regular Meeting of the Board
of Directors, Minutes of the July 16, 2012 ExecutiveSessions of the Board of Directors

Nakdimen, to approve and le the Minutes of the July16, 2012 Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors,Minutes of the July 16, 2012 Executive Sessions aspresented.All in favor. Motion passed.

Clubhouse Committee Report: See page 18Betty Parzych reported to the Board.
Discussion: Kathy reported that the Board of Directorshas voted to allocate $1350 for the purchase of a newstove and refrigerator for the kitchen (per the ClubhouseCommittees recommendation in June).
Board Action: Motion by Kathleen Connor support by
Michelle Todorov to accept the Clubhouse CommitteeReport dated August 6, 2012 and their recommendation.All in favor. Motion passed.
Grounds Committee Report: See page 19Ray Parzych reported to the Board.
Discussion: With regard to the Fall Shrub removalprogram, Ray stated that the committee feels thereshould be a greater emphasis on the co-ownersresponsibility to replace the shrub with similarlandscaping after the shrub has been removed. Thisis stated on the shrub removal request form, but is not
being strongly enforced when the shrubs are removed;Ray stated that if the vacant spot remains, it allowsmore weeds to grow, which makes the communitylook poorly maintained. Kathy asked whether the co-owner responsibility is listed on the form. Ray statedthat it is, but felt it needed a stronger emphasis becauseit is being overlooked. Tom questioned whether theco-owner responsibility to maintain that landscaping isstated anywhere other than the Shrub Removal Form.Kathy said she didnt believe it was stated in the deedor Co-owners Manual. Betty said that since they aresigning a form agreeing to replace the shrubs, it should
be enforced. Tom questioned whether the associationhas the legal authority to enforce the agreement. TomWerner (Engineering Committee), said that the signedform is a contract, just like an Engineering ModicationRequest Form. Tom cautioned against assumingauthority without rst verifying whether it is within therights of the association to exercise authority in thatarea. Judy questioned what authority the associationhas to dictate the type of landscaping that is installed bythe co-owner. Kathleen recalled a form for presentinga landscaping plan to the Grounds Committee forapproval; the Grounds Request Form details the
specic plantings and shrubs that are permissible.Kathy explained that this is different form from theShrub Removal Form which only states that the co-owner will be responsible for the purchase and the plantingof a replacement shrub or some other attractive landscaping.The Shrub Removal Form does not outline specicpermissible plantings.
Kathy said that the Board would ask Joe Poma to researchwhat authority the association has about the shrubremoval and replacement, and be ready to better discussit at the September Board Meeting.
Board Action: Motion by Sandy Nolan support byKathleen to accept the Grounds Committee Reportdated August 7, 2012. All in favor. Motion passed.
Herald Committee Report: See page 20Kathleen Connor reported to the Board.
Board Action: Motion by Judy Nakdimen support bySandy Nolan to accept the Court Captain Committee
Report dated August 13, 2012. All in favor. Motionpassed.
Pool Committee Report: See page 21Kathleen Connor reported to the Board.
Board Action: Motion by Michelle Todorov supportby Sandy Nolan to accept the Pool Committee Reportdated August 14, 2012.All in favor. Motion passed.
Engineering Committee Report: See page 22Terry McNally reported to the board.
Discussion: Terry presented samples of PVC deckingmaterials of two different colors (natural grey &redwood) for the Boards review. Modication #1is requesting that this material be used for her deck.This is contrary to what is currently stated in theEngineering Request Form for Decks, so it wouldrequire Board Approval to change the current specsand allow it. Terry explained that the form speciedperimeter material to be cedar wood only, but does notspecify decking material.
From the Engineering Request Form for Decks: All openends of decks facing common areas must be skirted from deck
to grade with vertical cedar boards one inch by 6 inch nominalsize. Skirting must match fences in board-on-board appearance.All Deck enclosures must match adjacent fences in height andboard-on-board appearance. Deck enclosures refer to anythingbuilt above the deck. Cedar boards must remain natural in color ;they may not be stained or painted. Kathy explained thatthese details are only in the engineering packet; they arenot stated anywhere in the co-owners manual or in thebylaws.
Terry went on to say that the Engineering Committeeagrees that modication #1 should be approved andthe packet modied to allow this type of material to be
used for decks.Tom said that he was okay with the different materials,
but felt that the verbiage speaks more to keeping thecolor conducive with the fencing that is provided bythe association. He questioned whether we wouldbe changing the color restriction that is currently onthe engineering form. The natural grey presentedwould be compliant, but the redwood color is muchdifferent than previously permitted. Kathy reiteratedthat, although the engineering form restricts the co-owner from staining or painting their decks, there is

Co-Owner ForumSue Misiulis: Sue said that she had presented a petition to
Joe for board approval requesting the aerobics programbe continued in the winter time. Sue stated that the28 women who participated in the water aerobics thissummer would like to continue an aerobics class in theHighland Room with Derrick (lifeguard) as the instructor.Tom stated that the board voted in closed session to
approve this request. Kathy stated that the details havenot been worked out as it would have to coincide withDerricks schedule, and take into consideration how manypeople would t in the Highland Room for an exerciseclass. Kathy further explained that this would be at noadditional cost to the association. Derrick stated that hewould charge the participants $2/person per class; thatwould be worked out between the participants and him.As soon as the details are worked out, they would bemade available to the public. Sue suggested alternatively(weather permitting) that the classes could be held on thepool patio once the furniture is in storage.
Sue further thanked the Pool Committee, management andlifeguards for a wonderful pool season. She remarkedthat this seasons water aerobics was one of the mostwell attended in her 25 years at Highland Lakes, and thatshe has personally lost 12lbs this season since the wateraerobics began.
Sue asked the Boards stance on charging stations forelectric vehicles. She feels it is going to be a demandin the future and the board (and engineering committee)should be ready to address it. Sue suggested that it onlybe installed in the co-owners deeded spot at the expense
of the co-owner. (Installation as well as power bill). Sheadded that she read (Northville Record) that people whoown electric vehicles are using extension cords to chargethe cars, and the cords are being stolen. Sue added thatcords would be impractical as it poses a trip hazard orcould be damaged by a lawn mower. Michelle thankedSue for her comments, and asked her to offer any ideasthat she might have about this issue going forward. Ken
responded that hes contacted DTE about chargingstations, and they will be providing us with more detailsabout possible options for us.
Robert Armstrong: Robert asked about the cement workthat is being done to storm drains on the property. Kenexplained that it is catch basin repair; the ground wasbeing undermined and causing a safety hazard. Robertasked if it was mandated by an outside authority or ifit was decided by the association to do the work. Kenanswered that the association decided to do the workbecause of the safety concern, (trip hazard / possiblesink hole). Two have been repaired on the property thisyear ($4000).
Robert said about two weeks ago when Sinelli Cementwas doing the work, they came into his area and tookhis hose to do their work. Robert said that in a previousboard meeting, the board approved a policy stating thatif work is being done in an area, that the co-owners benotied by a knock on the door so that the residentswould be aware of whats going on and not be alarmed.This was not done in this case. Robert said that whenthe Sinelli employee was questioned about using hishose without permission, the employee was belligerent
nothing in the co-owners manual or bylaws that makesthat restriction, so the association cannot enforce therestriction.
Michelle asked if the co-owner is requesting that the entiredeck be done in the natural grey color. Terry said thatthe co-owner wants the deck surface in the grey color,and the perimeter, facing, and the risers in the redwoodcolor PVC material. Ken spoke with the co-owner and
explained that, according to the current specs, the risersand anything facing the common area must be naturalcedar, not stained or painted. Michelle asked if therewould be color specications for materials if the co-owner had requested a brick patio. Terry answered thatthere is currently no restriction on brick color. Michelleargued that since there is no color restrictions on brick,there should also be no color restriction on deck color.(The PVC redwood color is the same as a red brick color).
Board Action: Motion by Michelle Todorov, support byJudy Nakdimen to accept the Engineering CommitteeReport as printed dated August 15, 2012 and their
recommendations to approve on modication request#1-12, and modify to decking specs to allow PVC &composite material. All in favor. Motion passed.
Community Social Committee Report: VerbalMichelle Todorov reported to the Board.
Michelle reported that Community Social Committee isplanning a Silver Springs Beach Campout for Saturday,October 6th. Anyone is welcome to bring a tent andcamping gear and participate in the event. There will bea live animal presentation during the event (5:00 p.m.),a nature hunt, and a bonre (currently applying for a permit

Maintenance Superintendents Report:See report on page 13
Board Action: Motion by Michelle Todorov support
by Kathleen Connor to accept the MaintenanceSuperintendents Report dated August 20, 2012. All infavor. Motion passed.
Property Managers Report: See report on page 14Joe Poma was not present at the meeting, so Michelle read
his written report publicly.
Board Action: Motion by Tom Byrne support by KathleenConnor to accept the Property Managers Report datedAugust 20, 2012.All in favor. Motion passed.
The Board recessed at 9:00 p.m. and reconvened forclosed session at 9:15 p.m.
and rude. The employee told Robert that the associationhad given him permission to use his garden hose.
Robert stated that when the water is turned on on theoutside of the unit, it is audible on the inside; thesekinds of noises could be alarming to residents who livealone and dont know whats happening. He reiteratedthe need for residents to be made aware of work thatis going on around their unit that could be disturbing,
whether it is done by a Highland Lakes employee or anoutside contractor; this could easily accomplished by thecourtesy of a knock on the front door.
Kathy stated that Joe and Tom have drafted some contractprocedure that specically addresses what is expected ofan outside contractor, which will address some of theseissues. She stated that Roberts points are well takenand the board is working on enforcing these policies.Robert thanked Kathy for her response.
Robert further stated that certain residents in the courtwere notied by Joe to move their cars (specic parking
places) for the cement vehicles. Those spots werevacated, and other spots were also unoccupied; Sinellididnt limit their vehicles to the allotted parking spacesoutlined in Joes letter, but they also occupied other emptyspaces in the court, taking twice as many parking spacesthan Joe had requested. This was a great inconvenienceto the residents. Tom said he had the same experiencein his court last fall, which prompted him to raise theissue about a policy of procedure so that contractorsare not overstepping and causing unnecessary hardshipto co-owners.

MAINTENANCE REPORTTO: Board of Directors, Property Manager, Co-Owners
FROM: Ken Wiewiora - Maintenance Superintendent
RE: Maintenance Report
DATE: August 20, 2012
1. Sewer Repairs: Lilac Court drain to Swan Harbor Lake was repaired last week; this drain pipe had a
22 foot long section that was rusted out, causing the pipe to be undermined and resulting in a sink hole.
The repairs have been made to the drain pipe, and restoration of the grass in that area is scheduled to be
Hydro Seeded the last week of September. Neptune Court storm sewer, was repaired around the catchbasin area, the side wall of the catch basin had a hole which cause two side walk slabs to sink 3 to 4 inches
creating a trip hazard. Lehigh Lane also had a repair to the catch bison side wall. This one had a sink
hole forming under the road way.
2. Pool: The pool mechanical winterization is scheduled to take place September 11th the week after the
pool closes.
3. Sprinkler: Our lawn sprinkler systems have been turned off as of today, this is to conserve water and
save on our budget. Note this is only two to three weeks earlier than normal. Winterization will also
take place early by two weeks. This will leave Kevin time to make long needed repairs, and move a few
nuance heads.
4. Water: Over the past weeks there have been reports of unattended garden hoses running all day,
sprinklers running for hours, and even two broken garden hoses just running wide open a co-owners
back yard fooding the back yard. Please help to conserve water! Watering only needs to be done to
three times per day for 10 to 20 minutes. Any longer periods that results in runoff to the street.
5. Ironwood tree plantings: The 5 pine trees that were showing stress and not establishing, were replaced
under warranty by the Plymouth Nursery last week.
6. Trash: Large construction trash is not allowed at our enclosures. All contractors must haul off any
construction debris.
Thank You,Ken Wiewiora, HLCA Maintenance Superintendent

MANAGEMENT REPORT
TO: Board of Directors, Co-OwnersFROM: Joe Poma, Property Manager
RE: Property Managers ReportDATE: August 20, 2012
1. In a rougher economy, there are some pretty creative scams that we all need to be on guard against.With that being said, place this along with the advice to keep your lights on, lock your car door, andthrow away that annoying pamphlet that you get periodically. This is the second year in a row that ourresidents have received a mailer advising them to purchase a water line protection program. Since ahomeowner is responsible for the water lines running from the city hook-up to the home, a resident canspend thousands of dollars repairing an underground waterline. If you owned a house in a subdivision,this could be a remote possibility, but in our association setting, we handle it. Accordingly, dontsign up for, or pay extra for added insurance. If any mailer purports to protect you with an added orsupplementary package, view it with suspicion, approach it with caution, and most of all, call the ofceand ask before you spend any money. Remember one thing; a company out there is not trying to helpyou solely because they have a good heart. In this case, although it is not necessarily a scam, it does notapply to our community.
2. Over the years, cable and satellite TV companies have run cables in a variety of locations. Mostly visiblefrom the back of the condominiums, these cables are running up downspouts, through gutters, eaves,up the back wall, through an upstairs window or through the door-wall. All of these congurations areincorrect and a violation of the policy. It may have been the cable technician that did it, but unfortunately,it is the responsibility of the resident to verify that it is done correctly. Most of the installers are careful,and get the required permission letter from the clubhouse ofce for any variance, but residents shouldunderstand that the correct way of running a cable wire is through the interior wall of the condominium,so that there is no outward evidence of wiring. We maintain this policy because one day, we will needto paint or replace the siding, or otherwise will need access to that area. There are already examplesthroughout the property where the siding was painted and the cable was painted with it. Once removed,it leaves a discolored line going up the wall of the condominium. Many of these issues are resolving
themselves as our roofers go around the property and replace the trim work, eaves or boards as part ofthe roong project. The only remedy is to cut the wire and leave the resident to contact the cable companyand re-route it. In so doing, we attempt to give the resident as much notice as possible, but in the end,the cable company should have known better and the Association is authorized to take corrective action.In summary, if you are planning to install cable TV in your home, it is the cable company that is savingmoney in the short-term by installing it incorrectly, and it has no effect on the homeowner to demandthat it be done correctly. Likewise, if you have a cable wire that was routed improperly years ago, andthe roong project is coming to your courtyard, you may want to get that resolved before the line is cutto access the project. Call the ofce if you are unsure as to whether there is a problem with your cablewiring, and I will gladly inspect it.
3. I have noticed some resident frustration over the condition of their neighbors porches. One or twounits per courtyard that has crumbling brickwork or bricks that need to be tuck-pointed ruins it foreveryone else. Tuck-pointing is the relatively easy and inexpensive task of re-setting the brickworkaround the porch and adding new mortar in between the bricks. A homeowner can do it themselvesif they are careful, by purchasing a $15 bucket of mortar from Home Depot and a tuck-pointing trowel(nothing more than a spoon that is dragged across the mortar to give it that concave look in between thebricks). Or if you prefer, the Herald has plenty of advertisements for local handyman services that willaccomplish the same thing. Ignoring the issue is false economy, since it not only draws attention fromthe ofce, but it creates a weak foundation for the more expensive porch slab above it, or even worse, thepillars that support the porch and the porch itself. If you need a referral to someone that does this sort ofwork, we would be glad to assist, but we do not endorse any particular person or company.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
4. By the time you read this, the roong project for 2012 will be substantially complete and what a differenceit made! We have now re-roofed of the property and are already realizing the benets of new roofsin the form of decreased unit repair costs associated with leaks. As the name suggests, Roof One alsoproved itself as a dedicated roong company, nishing each building and trim work in a timely
manner and cleaning up all of the debris at the jobsite. Their employees were professional, well-dressedand courteous to residents and staff members. For this reason, they will be strongly considered for Phase#3 of our project. I will remind everyone that Highland Lakes is demanding top quality materials anda platinum 40-year Owens-Corning warranty. Each unit is getting top-grade shingles, underlayment,trim, fascia board, gutters, new sheathing as necessary, new chimney cladding and caps and a variety ofother cosmetic and functional upgrades worthy of our engineering standards here. If you would like toknow when the roong project is coming to your building, please call the ofce.
5. I constantly get approached about initiating a recycling plan at the property, and unfortunately, they arenot free. As a matter of fact, research suggests that for a property of our size, we could be in the thousandsof dollars to start such a program. You would think that the price for trash removal would offset thatbecause the volume of trash placed into the regular dumpster enclosures decreases by a proportionateamount, but the reality is that we are under a contract and unless the dumpster is overowing or unkempt,the charge is per dumpster and per day, but works out to a daily charge (i.e. Monday and Thursday).If you would like to help with the cost of trash removal, please make sure that you break-down all ofthe cardboard boxes that are being placed in the enclosures, because a few boxes take up a tremendousamount of volume and if the enclosure overows or needs excessive work, the charge increases. We arestill looking into ways to recycle, if anything, to remove that feeling of guilt when we throw away all ofthat plastic and paper. There may be a partial recycling program out there that is less expensive, suchas those involving only a certain product; cardboard, for example.
6. I have noticed over the past few years that committee involvement at Highland Lakes has remainedsomewhat level, but the participants are basically the same people, with the exception of a couple of
the committees. Residents should be aware that committee meetings typically take place one night permonth and usually do not last more than an hour. If you have an hour per month to volunteer for yourcommunity, I urge you to do so and become involved with the committee that is closely aligned to yourinterests. A lack of volunteering could be indicative of a much larger problem than scheduling. Peoplemay take the attitude that whatever it is, it will be taken care of by someone else, or even worse thattheir opinion does not count or they are wasting their time. If either of the above happens, a complacencydevelops and the committee structure or democracy over your community fails and is left to Boardand Management. Your opinion at Highland Lakes matters and there are plenty of examples of peoplechanging our environment here. The committees that typically meet in the evening starting between6-8pm, include the Finance Committee, Pool Committee, Herald Committee, Clubhouse Committee,Community Social Committee, Grounds Committee, Vision Committee and Court Captain Committee.The Engineering Committee meets at 3pm on the Wednesday before the Board meeting. Residents
belonging to a committee are part of a recommendation process that goes to the Board of Directors onany given issue. Become involved because your voice matters!
7. The bylaws amendment package has met with the approval of about 70% of the co-owners of HighlandLakes, with about 84% of residents voting. I would like to thank all of those co-owners who took thetime to return this very important ballot and the co-owners who took it upon themselves to speak withneighbors and other residents as to the importance of the package. Most of all, a special thanks goes toJoel Lutz, Marty Tupper, Tom Werner, Diane Pittaway and all of the Court Captains and other residentswho have aided in this effort. The amendment package was critical to the reporting requirements ofvarious federal entities and to bring the Association in synchronization with the Condominium Act. Thiswas a package meant to protect your ability to sell or renance your home, maintain your home values

MANAGEMENT REPORT
and protect Highland Lakes as an Association of homes. The proponents not only understood theneed for the documents and changes, but also understand situations that any of you may nd yourselfin, and are not unfeeling on the matter. If you were ever worried about your neighbors dilapidated
yard, that annoying door-to-door solicitor, dog waste strewn throughout the community or having aninvestment company buy 10 units in your courtyard and turning it into an apartment buildingwehave you covered. Highland Lakes is not run by a management company. It is run by our co-ownersand therefore representatives of you. With that being said, the vast majority of residents will notice nochange whatsoever, over and above key issues that we will be empowered to take action with. Hence,the only thing you will likely notice is that the place wont go down the drain in the future. The bylawsamendments are not ofcial. We now have to get approval from the lending institutions, record thedocuments and distribute them to the co-owners; a process that can take several months. The mostdifcult portion however, was getting the approval from our residents and I thank all of those whoparticipated with a ballot, whether that answer was yes or no.
8. Its been three months or so since I have reminded everyonecheck that 50-cent furnace lter, or if you
prefer the micro-allergen kind, $12.00. Also make sure that you are cleaning the dryer lint screen,checking the exterior vent for blockages and vacuuming dust and debris away from the furnace, hotwater tank, replace, dryer or any pilot light. Colder weather will arrive in the next few months, so I willbe on my annual replace & chimney kick too.
9. As the pool season draws to a close, I would like to thank the Pool Committee, Community SocialCommittee, residents and most of all, the lifeguard staff for a wonderful season at the pool. Each year,the committees out-do themselves with better functions and after all, when you combine the pool &clubhouse with the serving of food, its difcult for people not to have a good time. We also had avery good year for swimming lessons and water aerobics from a trained and certied staff. The lockerrooms, pool deck, tables and chairs were cleaned daily and the Grounds Committee and Pool Committeeprovided some nice landscaping and atmosphere. Thank you for a great season.

HIGHLAND LAKES COMMITTEE REPORTCOMMITTEE: Vision MEETING DATE: August 1, 2012
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. The committee reviewed the landscape plan of the Grounds Committee for the east sideof the 8 Mile Entrance. The Grounds Committee recommended the plan designed byPlymouth Nursery to the Board for their consideration. The Board requested that theVision Committee review the plan. The Vision Committee members did not approvethe Plymouth Nursery plan as the pillars were detailed on the plan and the plan seemedto be too simple. Members agreed that at a meeting of the Vision Committee and theGrounds Committee, a vote to remove the pillars was approved.
2. Because only one plan was submitted and the pillars were included, the Vision committeeapproved a motion to request the Board to direct Joe Poma, Property Manager, to contact3 or 4 landscape companies and request a landscape plan for the east side of the 8 MileEntrance. The plan should eliminate the pillars and be low maintenance.
3. Other Items discussed: Projects for the future such as, mailbox selections, unit lights, unitaddress numbers, exterior handrails.

An Ex Prisoner O War old Me,I Felt Te Enemys Brutality And Rage.
My Faith In God And Country,Never Le Me In Tat Bamboo Cage.
So America Fly Your Colors!Woven Deep In Each And Every Tread.
Is A Soldier o Be Honored And Remember,Each ime A Flag Flies Overhead.
Te State O Te Union Is Good,Voices From Te Past Impart.Patriotism Is Alive And Well,
Long Aer You Win Te Purple Heart.
Purple HeartBy Dennis R. Leahy, Co. B, 2/31st Infantry
Dennis Leahy, a 1968 graduate o my Alma Mater, St. Gregory High School, who was awarded the Bronze Star andPurple Heart aer being injured in combat in Vietnam, wrote this poem or Memorial Day. It tells about other soldiershe met on the battlefeld and o, and each one a hero with no regrets. o quote Dennis, Once you wear the uniform,
youre a soldier for life. Red, White, and Blue and freedom is something instilled in us.
Dennis is now a husband, ather, and grandather and his poem was published in the Livonia Observer on MemorialWeekend and in the July 2012 edition o Purple Heart Magazine.
Even though Memorial Day has passed, I thought all our wonderul veterans, service men and women, and theiramilies would appreciate Dennis poem.

ROLL CALL!November 11, 2012 - Veterans Day
Some o us may remember November 11 as Armistice Day. It commemorated thecessation o the Hostilities in France during World War I. Te agreed on time wasthe eleventh hour o the eleventh day o the eleventh month o the year 1918. Tis
was the War to end all Wars? Te armistice didnt last so November 11 wasrenamed Veterans Day.
For November 11, 2012 we would like to recognize the service memberso Highland Lakes, past and present, men and women. For a start on ourHonor Roll Call we have:
Seaman (woman) 3rd class Marge Faessler, (Pond Court)UNITED STATES NAVY 1944-1946
Marge (Hansen) was third generation Navy. A Student at MSU, Margeenlisted in the WAVES when all the men were being draed. At the time,women were recruited to perorm o ce duties to ree up the men or themore dangerous rolls. She ended up in Cleveland near some water - LakeErie - as a keypunch operator.
Sergeant Ray Parzych, (Lake Success Drive)UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS 1943-1946 and1950-1952
Ray was in the Pacifc theater and participated in the invasion o Okinawa.Tis was the last o the island campaigns - in preparation o the invasiono the Japanese mainland. Tey landed on Easter morning o 1945. Teatom bombs ending the war were dropped on August 6 (Hiroshima) and
August 8 (Nagasaki). Te ormal surrender came on August 14, 1945.
Beore coming home, Ray was shipped to China to protect the Chiang Kai-shek government rom the growing communist threat.
As with many veterans at the time, Ray was recalled by the Marines in1950 to 1952 during the Korean action. He served stateside and was done!
Sergeant Jim Delaney, (Dartmouth Court)UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS 1955-1958
Jim trained at San Diego, Camp Pendleton and the High Sierras. He washeaded toward Korea - part o the occupation orce but ended up in
Okinawa - a much easier landing than that o Ray Parzych. Jim fnishedhis active duty career at Camp Lejeune in the Provost Marshall group - theMarine cops.

Were right where we want to be, says MaryLou. She and Henry lived in Southeld orthirty years while raising their amily. Next,they moved to Canadian Lakes in midMichigan and enjoyed eighteen years in that
beautiul environment. However, the threehour drive prevented their children withtheir busy lives rom visiting ofen, so MaryLou and Henry decided they had to move
back to the metro Detroit area.
Once they chose Highland Lakes as theideal location to be near the grandchildrenand Mary Lous two sisters, she wrote lettersto the owners o the condos they preerred,
presenting their interest in buying the condoi and when the owner was ready to sell. Oneowner kept the letter, later contacting MaryLou when his amily had outgrown the unit.Now they have been taking time to movetheir belongings and to enjoy the pool withthe grandchildren, happy to be where theywanted to be.

WHATS COOKING!
Where are all of you wonderful cooks hiding your special recipes?The feed-back on this feature has been very positive, but we need your help to continue. Please dropoffyour recipe in the Herald box at the clubhouse or e-mail to Wilma Leonard ([email protected]).
Marita Smith of Savoy Ct. got this recipe from her motherand its always a hit at parties. She comments that everyonethinks it must take lots of time, but its really very simpleand fast to make. The longer you keep them, the more theavors blend; so Marita suggests making them at least aweek in advance of a party.
Mix first five ingredients and drizzle over crackers until well coated . Stir and toss. Store in a plastic
container with lid until ready to use.
Enjoy!
MOMS CRACKER BITS 1 package of Ranch House (original
recipe) dressing mix (this is a drypowdered mix)
1/2 tbs. dill seed
1 tbs. garlic powder 1 tsp. lemon pepper 1 cup oil 2 10oz packages of oyster crackers
Do not over stir. Oil the pan for the first crepe only. The pan should be hot. If the batter is too thick,add a little milk. (If youre making the crepes for a dessert, add a tsp. of vanilla extract.)
CREPES VIATEUR
Liette Paiementgrew up as part of a large family in Quebec, Canada. Every morning before school whileher mother was making lunches, her father, Viateur Paiement, would make breakfast. The favorite was hispancakes. Here is his recipe translated from his original notes in French. Liete says this recipe works equallywell for breakfast or, for a fancy dessert,lled with your favorite guilty pleasure.
HINT: This recipe if best if made the day before and left to rest in the refrigerator overnight.
1 and 1/3 cups flour 2 tbs. sugar
1 tbs. baking powder 1 pinch salt
1 egg-- beaten 1 and 1/4 cups milk
2 tbs. vegetable oil
Place the bacon and onion on seasoned slices of steak. Roll up and secure with cooking twine ortoothpicks. In enough water to make gravy, add a bay leaf, bacon bits, basil, and onion. Cook fortwo hours on medium heat: 325-350.
BEEF ROULADES
At the recent meeting of the Herald Commitee, Wilma mentioned that despite positive reviews, the submissionsto the feature Whats Cooking have dried up. In response, Joy Gaskin, a well-known and out-standingcook in the community, ratled offthe following from memory. Guess thats the measure of a truly great cook--doesnt need a printed recipe like the rest of us.
1/4 inch slices of top round steak 2-3 slices of uncooked bacon
Thin slice of onion Salt and pepper
