I am new to blogging so please bare with me. I think that this blog is a good idea for people to express their thoughts, ideas, concerns and offer constructive suggestions that will bring the LACA community together. It would be nice if this did not become a bashing forum. Nothing gets accomplished effectively without open lines of communication. I am more than sure it takes a lot of work to maintain and update information. Kudos to the person who started this!
My wife and I are in the Lake Adventure community for a few years now and have enjoyed every minute of it. We have shown other family members and friends Lake Adventure in which they also purchased property. I have seen increases in the dues in the past three years and have absorbed them. We have not had the luxury of the lower rates that have been here for quite a few years that others have had the pleasure of enjoying. Having run a business, I fully understand that increases may be necessary due to the rising costs of everything. Though I fully understand that some people are on fixed incomes, out of work or lower incomes I feel this is still a great value for the money. Heck, you can't even take a decent vacation for what this place costs per year to own. I want to bring in more quality people to Lake Adventure but I am getting a little reluctant due to all the bickering between owners and the BOD. I feel that we are on the right track with the new manager and his credentials appear to be good. From what I am hearing he is on a mission to make improvements that will make LACA a friendly, nice looking place as well as functional. It would be nice to see some members pool together and donate some time to help make it a better place also. We have Horseshoe pits, ball fields and such that do not appear to get used that often. Wouldn't it be nice to have some more activities? Maybe some scheduled games on the weekends for people to participate in. I would be willing to donate some time to make this a better place to have some more enjoyment. It would be nice to meet some more of our neighbors also. My wife and I have friends in other parks somewhat like this and I have to tell you that their activities are well coordinated. Renters as well as owners participate in the events and some even assist in running the events. They do not get quite as much as we get for there dues but it is a fun place to be and from what we have observed, people are very content. The point that I am trying to make is that you can't keep doing things the same way and expect different results. Sometimes things need to be a joint effort. I would like to see everyone come together and resolve what ever issues are before us with an end result to attract decent people to our community. Lets give the new guy a chance to see if a difference can be made and assist where we can. Thank you for the opportunity to express my thoughts. By the way, nice review on last nights dance. It is nice to see some positive feedback.
PS: Why is everybody anonymous on the blog?

olds -- you are right on the money -- more activities are needed to respond to the needs of new members, activities so the whole family can engage, activities for men and their children, activities that engage the teen members, and the exceptional swim program that this year will hold the finals at la later this summer -- yes the new manager qualifications on paper look good and i too look forward to his managing la for the benefit of all members, his ability to get the upgrades to the electrical and water infrastrutures and begin to show better progress with these projects-- to oversee the maintenance operations, the office support operations and hopefully begin to use the Internet to communicate with members, a way to save on postage and open a new avenue to let la members know what is happening at la---

yes i too hope that better days are ahead for la, a stronger financial situation, a better management for la, a more engaged membership and a lot less enraged membership--that would be a major start for la

It is my understanding that the town is making LA enforce the residency rule. For as long as I can remember you cannot live there year round, don't know why, but I think it may be part of the covenants.

Seems like someone cares about fellow LA property owners. True, if someone breaks the rules by registering, voting and getting PA credentials and stays they are wrong, but, if someone is out of a job or lost their home and have no place to live why can't they stay at LA except for a period of time?? The whole country is in trouble and if property owners can't understand this think of what the result wpould bem supporting people living on the street. Maybe people could respond with their thoughts on this

residency

residency is when you establish a permanent residence in which you claim 5000 lake adventure, milford, pa as your primary established residence and address-- you can be considered an established resident if you claim on any government document that 5000 lake adventure is your address-- examples are driver's licenses, voter registrations, vehicle registration, food stamps, welfare, enrollment in schools, to name a few- exceptions are the local property taxes on your lot or insurances covering your lot

la is open to it's members 365 days a year and you have a right to use la throughout that year just don't have it listed as your primary residence

this will be hard for the bod or the manager to prove -- they'll need a lot of luck

VERY INTERESTING ABOUT THE FINES FOR RESIDENCY111 What should we do about the people that find LA is the only place they can afford to live after paying dues for 20 years or more. What happened to the two week rule that early property owners were led to believe?? Yes, if people register and send kids to school that is one thing but others who have no other place to live but on the streets how do you feel about them?? The whole country is in a sad shape and many people who want to work have lost jobs and are having a hard time existing, have a little compassion for our fellow man and if spending five or six months at LA will help them get on their feet so be it and not try to fine them $1000 that if they had they would probably be in an apartment

great weekend !!!!

was up to la this past saturday and sunday and the weather was terrific -- sunny and very warm 65' temps both days -- it was great -- quite a few people up with their families and dogs -- lots of clean up to do so going back up this weekend --

picked up a march flyer and was quite amused about the penalties for permannent residency at la -- they should have a field day trying how to enforce that rule since the only way to enforce it is to prove that a member has established legal residency at 5000 lake adventure -- that is next to impossible so good luck to the bod with that one

dues will be out 1 april ---- it may be APRIL FOOL'S day when they see how many members will have difficulty coming up with the membership dues in these tough economic environments --

saturday 3.21 is a st. pat's dance -- should be nice weather for this weekend and a few people will show up

Based on the vicious attacks on both the character and qualifications of board members displayed on this site I sure wouldn't run for office. Don't be surprised if no one else runs next year either. There are a lot of accusations but it's all conjecture. Every time someone writes something positive about the BOD or a member someone else sees fit to tear them down. I believe half of what I see and none of what I hear. I think we elected some good people who are trying their best in a bad situation they inherited. Are they perfect? No, but if you can gather enough votes to walk in their shoes don't be surprised if you find yourself the object of some severe criticism on this site regardless of how hard you're working. Before you have a chance to accuse me - I'm not a board member, not a LA employee, not a real estate agent and not the attorney, all things I've erroneously been accused of on this site. I'm a property owner who somehow seems to enjoy their time at LA despite all the horrific things I read about here.

you hit the nail on the head, unfortunately too many people don't make inquiries to the proper people. I must say though that the issue was discussed at an open meeting, and PO's were told why that particular section in the back was done first, it was the worst! Had nothing to do with who lived there. Of course you would have to attend meetings to get the information.

PAUL KRUGMAN - FINANCES

OP-ED COLUMNIST
The Big Dither

By PAUL KRUGMAN
Published: March 5, 2009
Last month, in his big speech to Congress, President Obama argued for bold steps to fix America’s dysfunctional banks. “While the cost of action will be great,” he declared, “I can assure you that the cost of inaction will be far greater, for it could result in an economy that sputters along for not months or years, but perhaps a decade.”

Many analysts agree. But among people I talk to there’s a growing sense of frustration, even panic, over Mr. Obama’s failure to match his words with deeds. The reality is that when it comes to dealing with the banks, the Obama administration is dithering. Policy is stuck in a holding pattern.

Here’s how the pattern works: first, administration officials, usually speaking off the record, float a plan for rescuing the banks in the press. This trial balloon is quickly shot down by informed commentators.

Then, a few weeks later, the administration floats a new plan. This plan is, however, just a thinly disguised version of the previous plan, a fact quickly realized by all concerned. And the cycle starts again.

Why do officials keep offering plans that nobody else finds credible? Because somehow, top officials in the Obama administration and at the Federal Reserve have convinced themselves that troubled assets, often referred to these days as “toxic waste,” are really worth much more than anyone is actually willing to pay for them — and that if these assets were properly priced, all our troubles would go away.

Thus, in a recent interview Tim Geithner, the Treasury secretary, tried to make a distinction between the “basic inherent economic value” of troubled assets and the “artificially depressed value” that those assets command right now. In recent transactions, even AAA-rated mortgage-backed securities have sold for less than 40 cents on the dollar, but Mr. Geithner seems to think they’re worth much, much more.

And the government’s job, he declared, is to “provide the financing to help get those markets working,” pushing the price of toxic waste up to where it ought to be.

What’s more, officials seem to believe that getting toxic waste properly priced would cure the ills of all our major financial institutions. Earlier this week, Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, was asked about the problem of “zombies” — financial institutions that are effectively bankrupt but are being kept alive by government aid. “I don’t know of any large zombie institutions in the U.S. financial system,” he declared, and went on to specifically deny that A.I.G. — A.I.G.! — is a zombie.

This is the same A.I.G. that, unable to honor its promises to pay off other financial institutions when bonds default, has already received $150 billion in aid and just got a commitment for $30 billion more.

The truth is that the Bernanke-Geithner plan — the plan the administration keeps floating, in slightly different versions — isn’t going to fly.

Take the plan’s latest incarnation: a proposal to make low-interest loans to private investors willing to buy up troubled assets. This would certainly drive up the price of toxic waste because it would offer a heads-you-win, tails-we-lose proposition. As described, the plan would let investors profit if asset prices went up but just walk away if prices fell substantially.

But would it be enough to make the banking system healthy? No.

Think of it this way: by using taxpayer funds to subsidize the prices of toxic waste, the administration would shower benefits on everyone who made the mistake of buying the stuff. Some of those benefits would trickle down to where they’re needed, shoring up the balance sheets of key financial institutions. But most of the benefit would go to people who don’t need or deserve to be rescued.

And this means that the government would have to lay out trillions of dollars to bring the financial system back to health, which would, in turn, both ensure a fierce public outcry and add to already serious concerns about the deficit. (Yes, even strong advocates of fiscal stimulus like yours truly worry about red ink.) Realistically, it’s just not going to happen.

So why has this zombie idea — it keeps being killed, but it keeps coming back — taken such a powerful grip? The answer, I fear, is that officials still aren’t willing to face the facts. They don’t want to face up to the dire state of major financial institutions because it’s very hard to rescue an essentially insolvent bank without, at least temporarily, taking it over. And temporary nationalization is still, apparently, considered unthinkable.

But this refusal to face the facts means, in practice, an absence of action. And I share the president’s fears: inaction could result in an economy that sputters along, not for months or years, but for a decade or more.

roofer needed

looking for a roofer to fix my rubber roof -- any one have any experiences with any of them at la-- difficult to decide who to call -- thanks - chipper

12' wide issue won't happen !!!!!!!!

THE TONE OF THIS LETTER SUGGESTS THAT THE 12' WIDE ISSUE WITH THE TOWNSHIP IS IN TROUBLE OR DOA!!!! --

LA MUST UPGRADE THEIR INFRASTRUCTURES FOR ELECTRIC, WATER AND SEWAGE--

AT THE RATE THAT THIS BOD IS PROCEEDING WITH THESE UPGRADES IT WILL BE 10 YEARS OR MORE BEFORE THEY COULD POSSIBLY UPGRADE THESE SYSTEMS-- THEY ARE SCREWING AROUND WITH THESE PROJECTS AND NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS AT ALL --

I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PROPERTIES HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL UPGRADES, LATERAL UPGRADES AND IN WHAT TIME FRAME AND AT WHAT COST PER PROPERTY-- THEY PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW - I'D BET THAT THE COST PER PROPERTY IS MORE THAN MOST PROPERTIES ARE WORTH

THEY HAVE CONTRACTORS THAT ARE RIPPING OFF THE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION BUT THEY STILL DO BUSINESS WITH THEM -- I WONDER WHETHER THESE CONTRACTS ARE EVEN PUT UP FOR LEGITIMATE BIDS WITH REPUTABLE CONTRACTORS OR ARE WE USING SOME ONE'S FRIEND???

THIS BOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THESE UPGRADES DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND AT AT DECENT RATE--

ELECTRICAL UPGRADES SHOULD BE 200 PER YEAR WITH A GOAL OF COMPLETING THE COMPLEX IN LESS THAT 10 YEARS-- THEY ARE NOWHERE NEAR THAT GOAL

LATERAL UPGRADES AND SEWAGE MUST ALSO BE DONE SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE ELECTRICAL WORK

SO YOU CAN SOON SEE THAT THIS BOD ISN'T DOING IT'S JOB AND THE UPGRADES AREN'T AMOUNTING TO ANYTHING -

UNLESS THERE IS SERIOUS EFFORT MADE TO UPGRADE THESE SYSTEMS WITH CONTRACTORS THAT CAN DO THE WORK, COSTS CAN BE CONTROLLED AND THE MEMBERSHIP WILL PAY THE BILL THE 12' WIDE ISSUE IS NOT A LIKELY SITUATION FOR LA

BUT EVEN WITHOUT THE 12' WIDE ISSUE ON THE TABLE THESE PROJECTS NEED TO BE DONE OR SOMEDAY LA WILL BE CHAINED SHUT FOR VIOLATIONS OF ONE TYPE OR ANOTHER, FINES OR JUDGEMENTS AGAINST THE COMMUNITY

SO THE BOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM -- LET'S SEE IF THEY CAN DO ANYTHING

http://www.condolawyers.com/articles/robert.htm. Lawyers interpretation of Roberts Rules as they pertain to homeowner associations. I couldn't find anything on the Internet that mandates associations in PA must adopt this format. I'm from Missouri, Please Show Me a PA gov website that says we must by law adhere to these guidelines. All I could find is that following the guidelines are voluntary and could be adopted in the association bylaws.
Robert's Rules of Order, the recognized guide to running meetings and conferences effectively and fairly, as advertised on their website.

Joe Birrell's explanation makes sense to me but the reason that section was done first wasn't made very public or there wouldn't be such an uproar on this site. It seems to me that based on comments here if section 5 was done first people in sections 1,2,3 & 4 would complain. If section 4 was done first those in 1,2,3 & 5 would find a reason to complain. You can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

If an obituary page is going to be posted, it should at least be updated with guidelines. Some information about the people would be nice. Without the details the page is meaningless. In my opinion the page should come down or do it right. By the way, I have checked a few other lake communities in the area and not one has an obituary page.

Perhaps the web admin for the site can post more info about events, pictures, etc. From a marketing perspective the focus should be on LA and how great it is for families.

Does anyone think the obituary page turns people away?

Just my 2 cents. Have a nice day. :)

It was good to read something from an owner who makes sense as oppose to the friend of the board president who only wants to ignore the fact that former board presidents & board members have run Lake Adventure like their private kingdom with the lowly servants having no rights to republish that ridiculous letter he wrote condemning CCLA when he is spending money on the lawyer to fight against property owners right to vote on the budgets and wants to make it only right for 7 elected members to decide on much dues are for 1749 lots.
That was Lenny Masucci, board member you saw who has a reputation of helping property owners when they can't get the help from our maintence to perform work they get paid to do and there is only 1 woman on the board the one elected last year Marietta Richard who I and many others saw on job sites & working in office after Gary was fired. Understand that she volunteered to oversee work that was needed until a property manager was going to be hired. All I know is that I didn't see those two board members sitting at the pool enjoying themselves like our esteemed Pres. & Treasurer, Ed Rohs. I guess you know who I am voting for if they are running. I am anonymous because I don't want Mr. Berkey blaming me for his mistakes.

AS TO THE QUESTION OF WHERE IS THE ELECTRIC BEING UPGRADED I STOPPED & ASKED WHEN I SAW THEM INSTALLING IT IN FALL & WAS TOLD BY JOE BIRREL, COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR LA THAT THE WORK WAS NOW BEING DONE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PARK BECAUSE THAT IS THE OLDEST SECTION & FIRST SECTION PUT IN IN 1976 AND WOULD CONTINUE BEING INSTALLED SO THAT OLDEST SECTIONS WOULD GET UPGRADED & THAT THIS WOULD IMPROVE THE OTHER AREAS AS WORK PROGRESSED. THIS CERTAINLY MADE SENSE TO ME RATHER THAT GOING TO MAYBE PERFERED AREAS WHERE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE THEIR LOTS. MAYBE WE FINALLY HAVE SOME MEMBERS THINKING OR HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE THAN THOSE WHO SERVED ON BOARD BEFORE. FROM WHAT I HEARD FROM OTHERS THE FIRST SECTION THAT WAS DONE ALL THE WAY IN BACK OF PARK WAS DONE BECAUSE 3 BOARD MEMBERS HAVE LOTS BACK THERE & PM KNEW WHERE HIS BREAD WAS BUTTERED, YOU THINK?

Would the party who made the statement that members have no right to vote on budgets, expenditures etc. please tell me which page, of the 1840, in Roberts Rules contain that statement!!!!Being a member of a Homeowners Association for over 20 years and Lake Adventure for 18 but must confess really didn't bother to get involved until someone told me about the Chipper last month and after reading entries am really shocked to find out all the issues that exist. First off, the duly elected board has the responsibility to work for the membership and not their gains, as people have indicated with members getting electrical upgrades, road and sewer repairs while others who are not friends of board members flounder. Yes, there is a lot of mis-doings going on if even .01% of these is true. But the main response is that members have no rights. Are we in Cuba or other countries run by dictators, we damn well do have the right to vote on where our money is going so before the party who made that statement should read Roberts Rules updated version as of 2006 to see how an organization such as LA should be run. As far as people making supposedly false statements they should be taken with a grain of salt, plus, if people wouldn't feel threatened if they verse their opinions about what's going on they would put their names in blogs, I sure as hell won't after hearing threats at the August meeting against CCLA members. As CCLA goes I too wonder, as a blogger mentioned, how much their lawyer costs in comparison to what we are being charged by the lawyer who was to solve our trailer problem only to generate more anger towards LA by the township!!! Election time is coming and property owners should reflect their approval or dis-approval of board members up for re-election personally I observed one member, while I spent my three weeks up there last summer, I believe his name is Lennie who was trying to get repair work done on property owners lot that had been dug up with a hole the size of a bomb crater and saw him there numerous times along with a woman board member doing supervisory work that should've been done by a manager or maintenance supervisor. If they are up for re-election they will get my vote and only wish other board members took that kind of interest. I wish I was in the position to run for the board but family obligations and work prevent this but I can assure you when retirement rolls around and I do have the time I will take a greater interest in LA and where my dues are going.

I know the concensus is the previous PM and BOD did damage but what specifically has the new BOD done to mismanage finances, labor and equipment? Is the thought that only a few members have been replaced so they are all guilty by association to the previous board members? If we are being exposed to lawsuits and city/county fines we need to know what they are doing and quickly address each issue as the fines impact our dues and ultimately our pocket books. Paying dues for facilty upgrades is one thing but I'd like to know what labor and city laws we must address to avoid fines to which we may be open to. It sounds like they are doing nothing right. I for one am in the dark as to all the possible infractions this BOD has left us open to and you appear to have more information as to what the BOD is doing right and wrong than the rest of us so we'd like further details. As for unqualified members, I read the biographies of each candidate last year and they all had business management experience, financial accountability, etc. If candidates lie on the bios that are mailed out how are we to know who is qualified? I would hope there is some screening to make sure there is truth in each candidate's resume.

it's comments like yours that lead people to think our BOD isn't qualified to make decisions, these bd members come from very diversified backgrounds, some professional, some running businesses, some with quite alot of knowledge of electrical, water systems and sewer mgmt. Do not believe everything the people at the twsp. tell you, there are some there who just love to give out misleading or plain wrong information. You don't know what you are talking about, but you're accusations sure do stir the pot, which is one of the biggest problems at LACA.
