Is dit my verbeelding of is daar altyd alarms wat afgaan en honde wat baie blaf wanneer dit volmaan is?

We pay a lot for security!
Referring to Long distance walker’s mail of 26 August.
I think you forget that we bought into this estate for a few reasons.
The main reason being that we all expect security as a top priority. Most of us lead very busy lives and some travel a lot. We are not always available by the snap of fingers and I think it was a waste of time anyway.
We should be pleased to say bye to the present security company.
Just saying ..........

Ex-Deon
I think I agree with previous bloggers about Deon Oosthuizen.
I think this oak was genuine but he got a sh*t deal from higher up [even though I think the job was a bit too much for him].
Somebody mentioned Paper tigers (had to look it up) and I also agree with that ....... what a joke our board.

Debra the Zebra
Reading Peace Lover’s mail of the 29th June 2010
Our family actually named this zebra “Debra”. Don’t know if it is a she or a he but I’m not prepared to find out . Debra sounds fine to my kids and the same goes for me.
I don’t think Debra is going to be very popular with some gardeners as it chomps some garden plants apart from grass. I have watched people chase her away but all be it cautiously.
Cheers

Leave Ciarra alone!
Why are people trying to find out who Ciarra is? Who gives a damn.
Ciarra is doing a great job and we need to communicate with one another.
Please let go of this campaign to find out who she is. If anyone knows who she is, then so what. Just sit back and enjoy the blog.

Fall guy
Referring to Gringo’s mail of 17 August 2010, we fully agree.
In the early stages of our building dispute I said to Deon Oosthuizen, that he is the fall guy for the poor decisions of some of the board members and we are firmly of this opinion.
On the 28 October 2009 when we visited Deon to ask him what was going on with our height objection regarding our neighbour, he firmly stated that he had rejected the newly ‘as- built’ plans back to this owner as he could see that they were not correct.
Yet, a mere three days later he signed it off as approved and still with the errors. How come? We believe that he was told to sign the drawings off regardless. We are quite sure that now that our dispute is getting to an advance stage when all will be revealed and that he was just the faithful servant.

Security clean up walk
What a poor turn out!
Now isn’t this strange that people pack the hall to chop off the board members heads for not providing security, but if it comes to joining together to solve this problem then nobody, or shall I say very few, are prepared to get out of their houses and do a bit for the community.
Very disappointed.

Are we sponsoring other estates?
Hi all,
I agree with Ciarra’s mail about the name of our estate. We do live in Meyersdal Nature Estate and the Nature Estate stretches as far as Rietvlei, I believe. I do not see the reason for us to distance ourselves from the rest. Calling our area the Eco Estate is in my view a bit over the top. We even have an Eco friendly helicopter frightening the sh#t out of the game.
But certain questions do remain like is the estate south of Michelle part of us or not and by this I am talking about administrative expenses? I have over the past noticed vehicles and especially our tractors going in and out of this estate below Michele.
Is the administrative body of their estate the same as ours?
Is it at all possible that we in the “Eco Estate” are sponsoring some of the development expenses outside of our estate? Gratis !
Cheers

Blog name confusing
I have received an e-mail from Deon Oosthuizen saying that my blog name is confusing.
The fact that our estate was established as Meyersdal Nature estate ext 1, 2, and 3, does not give people the right to rename ourselves as the Eco estate.
At the town council, on all maps and on the GPS system we are Meyersdal Nature Estate and not Meyersdal Eco Estate or even just Eco Estate.
I have had many people before telling me that they cannot find Eco estate in the map book merely because there is not such a place.
However to make it easier with the blog, I have made it for Meyersdal Nature Estate 1, 2 and 3 / Meyersdal Eco Estate.
There is also nothing wrong with our neighbours (in the other estates) writing e-mails to me, as I have had this before. We have a lot in common and even share the same developer.
Regards
Ciarra

How good was Deon?
Now that Deon is out of the picture many say that things were not right because of his management? I know the guy and anything that was slightly difficult he referred on to whoever board members were responsible. Very little blame should be attached to Deon and shame on those who think that he was the originator of the many bad decisions and inaction.
As a man who is qualified in the ways of nature , he would not have arbiterally made important decisions regarding issues that he was not qualified to handle. Had he done so and made a poor decision , then he would have been guilty of misconduct.
Deon was in my opinion an unwilling front man. The new guy Mr Botha should be cautious in dubious dealings which may be detrimental to his integrity.

Who is Ciarra?
We went out to dinner with friends last night who don’t live in the estate, but they are aware that it is not the “Utopia” that residents expected. They mentioned that they knew Grant & Ciarra Hinckley. I can assure all that my surname is not Hinckley and ‘Ciarra’ is as I stated before purely an alias. Sorry to Ciarra Hinckley if she has received any unwanted attention.

Security information not quite correct
Hi,
I noticed that some of the facts that were given to home owners during the security meeting of 26th July 2010 were not totally correct.
On the Power point presentation slide show it was stated that “on only one of the occasions was a robbery on a workweek night, all others were prior to a holiday or rest day”. This is in fact incorrect – 4 is the number and so indicates no ‘safer’ period.
The facts are as follows: - if given correctly to us on the same slide show that night.
Four robberies took place on Thursdays (stand 148 and stand 164 on 17 June, stand 359 on 24 June and stand 369 on the 22 July), one robbery on a Friday (stand 307 on 12 February), two robberies on Sundays (stand 188 on 27 June and stand 376 on 11 July), and two robberies on Saturdays (stand 145 on 3 July and stand 329 on 24 July).
They also mentioned that there were eleven incidents, but they only gave us information on nine of them. What about the two other incidents?
I see that they broke into the houses of five (out of fifteen) board members. I find this really odd.
To answer Gato’s mail – I think that there was another incident on the 27 July at stand 150 and early yesterday morning security were racing up and down so maybe there was another incident. Maybe it’s best to confirm this with Dr George.
Security car boot searches have now stopped, but why? If stolen property is still being stored within the estate, then this is when the items will be removed now that the heat is off.

Rynette

Burglar bars
Hi all
All of us by now have received the e-mail about so called illegal burglar bars - so what - security is bad. In the guidelines is says no burglar bars, but then it say a lot of things but the people in charge only want to fight about the little things. They behave like a bunch of fussy chickens only picking the easiest mielie pips. The hard to get at pips they leave alone.
I have ordered and paid for my burglar bars and when they are up, I shall ignore any dominant chicken that comes to threaten to confiscate my illegal mielies.
While I am on this subject of what is legal and what is not, we are not allowed Kukuya grass, yet the dam edges are full of the stuff (those of us with Kukuya should tell them to leave our grass alone).
Regards
Randy Rooster
