BOARD COMMENTS
Pool Season:
By the time you read this report, the pool season will have ended. This year has been a challenge with
rain, cooler temperatures, mechanical issues, and I could go on and on. Having said that, I believe the
residents enjoy the pool and terrace. I have seen many new faces this year.
Thank you Pool Committee and Community Social Committee for the many summer events. It takes
time and effort to make these events happen. Thanks to the many people who do not belong to either
committee, but come to be of assistance.

contract to provide cable services to this community. The cable should be laid in about 5 weeks.

Co-Owner Forum
Steve Emsley: Steve said that at the July Board meeting,
he requested that the Board of Directors grant him a
two-year waiver that would allow him to lease his unit.
When his request was denied, he put his condo on the
market and it sold in 48 hours. He explained that this was
a great capital loss because when he purchased the unit, it
was his intention to get it xed up and then lease it out as
an investment property, which is not possible under the
new bylaws at this time.
Steve requested that he be given concrete numbers for
the percentage of rentals on the property, because an
approximate number is not sucient.
Steve added that hes spoken with a number of different
insurance companies that cannot answer the question
whether his condo is insured during the licensure /
leaseback period. Kathleen answered that all the condos
are covered under one policy, which is $114M. The policy
will cover Steves unit whether hes living in it or not, or
if its for sale or rent. The unit is still part of Highland
Lakes Association and is covered by the insurance policy.
Joe added that when the Association lls out a condo
questionnaire or something where we have to provide a
percentage of rentals, the number is never approximate,
but it is concrete based on the knowledge that we have.
Joe said that the Association does its best to collect
complete data to keep accurate records and protect the
interests of Highland Lakes. Ray Parzych thanked Joe for
the good job he is doing for the Association.
Michelle Kelly: Michelle said she is a new co-owner, and
other members of her family have recently purchased
units as well. Michelle asked why there is not a sidewalk
to walk into town from Highland Lakes. Ken said that
a little over a year ago, the Township was talking about
utilizing some federal grant money to build a walking
path from HLCA to downtown Northville. Guy said
connectivity has been a big issue in Northville Township.
He said one of the issues is Russ Fog Drive, where there
is very little easement, and there is no easement under
the railroad overpass. Guy said that hes worked for the
Township for over 20 years, and the discussion is ongoing.
Michelle said she would be willing to look into it to see
i she could work with the 1ownship to nd a solution.
and landscape on the East side is coming together nicely
as well. Marti Tupper asked about the total cost for the
Eight Mile Entrance. Joe said the west side was $3500,
and the east side was $2500, which is well under the
$13K we received from the insurance.
Maintenance Superintendents report:
See report on page 11
In addition to his report, Ken explained that the property
will be built out and ready for service in about 5 weeks
from the time they break ground, (with service available
hopefully by early October). Ken added that the depot
for WOW where we will be getting the signal is right at
Seven Mile in the Highland Lakes Shopping Plaza which
will make outages rare or easily addressed because of
the short distance. He said their rates are typically 20-
40% cheaper than their competitors, and they offer their
service as a month to month service. This eliminates
long contracts, and is a nice feature for snow birds
who dont need year-round service.
A resident said that hes had WOW for many years when
he lied in \arren, and he was ery satised with their
product and service.
Ken added that most of the installation will be underground
boring, with about 46 pedestal boxes throughout the
property. The boxes will be installed within 2-3 of the
current AT&T and Comcast boxes.
Marti asked if prices for their service are available for
review. Ken said that as soon as the service has been
tested and is working, they will send sales reps door
to door in the property. The Association has granted
them permission to solicit once through the property
during a prescribed 2-week period of time, and once
annually. (This was part of their franchise agreement).
Ken added that WOW offers approximately 96
different scenarios through their menu, so service
can be specically customized or the resident`s usage
needs, and residents wont be paying for service they
dont want. They offer home phone service, internet,
and cable with DVR.
Sandy said that Bill Rossow gave her an article from
Consumers Reports comparing cable providers, and
WOW was at the top of the list in all categories.
Ken reiterated that Highland Lakes does not condone one
provider over another, but he is happy that co-owners
have more options available.
Steve Emsley cautioned against high-pressure sales reps
coming to the door that would try to force a decision on
the spot. This was his experience with another provider.
Ken said the other provider hires sub-contractors to do
the sales, while WOW will have their own employees to
do the door to door campaign.
Board Action: Motion by Sandy Nolan, support by Judy
Nakdimen, to accept the Maintenance report dated
August 19, 2013. All in favor. Motion passed.

She asked if there was a committee that she should speak
with about plotting a new sidewalk. Joe answered that it
could start at possibly the Grounds Committee, and then
proceed to a Board vote, or it can come directly to the
Board for consideration.
Michelle said that there is no direct sidewalk access to the
clubhouse for a wheelchair or a stroller. Ken said that
as certain sidewalks come up for repair, ramps are being
installed in the sidewalks, but the Association hasnt been
in a position to do them all at once without another repair
being done.
Charlene (receptionist): Charlene said that shes worked
at Highland Lakes since May and she has really enjoyed
it. She suggested that all the lights in the clubhouse be
conerted to energy ecient ,ClL, lightbulbs to sae
on energy costs. Ken answered that the clubhouse is
currently 90-95 energy ecient with a ew exceptions
o just some o the ancier light xtures, like those in the
restrooms.
Sandy Nolan: Sandy reminded everyone that the Visiting
Nurses will be offering Flu Shots at the Highland House
on September 14th at noon. Details will be in the
September Herald.
Betty Parzych: Betty asked if the sign in front of the
Highland House could be repainted like the Eight Mile
Sign. Joe said it could be done.
Terry McNally: Terry asked about the Basketball
Tournament on August 17th. Kathy said that they had a
very nice turn out with seven team competing. Joe said
Robert Gorzyca, who organized the event, will be getting
a plaque made with the winners names to hang in the
clubhouse, which can be added to annually. There will be
photos and tournament outcome posted in the Herald.
The Meeting adjourned at 8:32 p.m.

MAINTENANCE REPORT
TO: Board of Directors, Property Manager, Co-Owners
FROM: Ken Wiewiora - Maintenance Superintendent
1. TRASH: There have been a much higher than normal trash issues this season. From construction
materials, to yard waste, to pet waste. Please help police our courts. Spread the word!! All trash needs
to be in a black trash bag or a good heavy duty white kitchen bag. (NO Home depot or grocery bags are
to be used for trash). The issues we are having are the bags are being broke open, or the trash is thrown
in loose. Both of these create a hazard, smell, and attract little critters. Yard waste must be put out the
night before, and be in proper yard waste paper bags. No Plastic.
2. GROUNDS: Grounds restoration continues. Grounds crew is currently following close behind the
seasons concrele projecls. In lelveen, vood chips are leing spread addilionaIIy olher hIIer vork order

structure was repaired, sand blasted, and powder coated. The letters have also been repaired and painted.
Earl is currently making another round of weed spray on the asphalt and concrete cracks. Sprinklers
are mostly shut down, a few systems are still running (at a minimum) to prevent burn out along Silver
Spring drive. The 8 mile entrance planting projects were completed last week. Once the sign is installed
we will look at relocating the sign lighting.

HIGHLAND LAKES COMMITTEE REPORT
COMMITTEE: Grounds MEETING DATE: August 12, 2013
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
- Meeting opened with a discussion of the landscaping installed on the west side of the Eight
Mile Rd. entrance to Highland Lakes. It was generally thought it seemed very skimpy looking
and additional planting was needed. A proposed plan was discussed for enhancing the area
and an agreement was reached, upon which a vote was taken to recommend it to the board.
After the meeting it was realized that part of the recommended plan was not going to work
and a follow up email & phone vote was taken to rescind the vote to recommend the plan to
the board. A new plan will be developed with more forethought.
- Discussion of landscaping as opposed to gardening which is what we are primarily into at this
time of the year, eventually got to weeding, of which not much seems to be taking place this
year.
- Shrub removal request form to go out in the September Herald. If a co-owner has a tree that
relates to their unit that should come down, that requires a work order for maintenance to take
care of.
- Sub-committee established to pursue idea of landscaping the area across from Ross Fogg Dr.
where it comes into Silver Spring Dr. as shown in the HLCA Master Plan. Three volunteered.
- Sub-committee established to plan for a community day removing invasive plants in Silver
Spring Woods. Five volunteered.
- Opened a bit of conversation regarding rain gardening to clean up run off into our lakes. This
to be looked into further
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD:
- None

September Song
Its a long, long time from May to December, And the days
grow shorter when you reach September.
From the Broadway Show Knickerbocker Holiday (1930) - (Maxwell Anderson / Kurt Weill)
Summers over (well, by September 21). Labor Day has come and gone, the
kids are back in school, vacations are over back to work, day in and day
out, 9 to 5 nothing happening until Thanksgiving.
B
UT WAIT, its September. Football weekends are here and surely, Michigan and Michigan State
will end up 1-2 in the Big 10 (or 12, whatever). The cider mills are open. You can watch the
apples being pressed at Parmenters.
Or you can ride out Seven Mile a few miles to Obstbaums, (open Saturdays and Sundays), just
north on Currie Road. While you get your cider you can watch the donut making assembly line
and see why donuts are also called fried cakes.
IaII goIhng is greal - especiaIIy vhen lhey lIov lhe Ieaves off lhe fairvays. The NorlhviIIe
Market is still open on Thursdays. Crisp, juicy apples, and peaches, pumpkins, zucchini, corn and
tomatoes everywhere; Fresh Michigan produce.
Then take a walk along the Living Wall just kitty-corner from the
market.
After Summers hot farewell at the end of August the moderating
temperatures of September invite some walking tours. Wander through
the Yerkes cemetery on Eight Mile. Then stroll through the Mill Race
Historical Village on Griswold. Visit the Yerkes house. It was built
in 1873 by William Purdy Yerkes and wife Sarah (Cady) Yerkes
chiIdren of NorlhviIIe pioneers. Il slood on lhe soulh side of Cady
near Center and was moved to Mill Race in 1975. There are many
other 19
th
century buildings including the Interurban Station that
welcomes visitors. It was built in the 19
th
century at Haggerty and Baseline (Eight Mile),
for lhe Iarninglon Lines high speed eIeclric lransil syslen. The Iine ran inlo NorlhviIIe fron 1898
until the late 1920s. It was moved to Mill Race in 1990.
The NorlhviIIe HisloricaI Sociely has a foIder avaiIalIe al lhe viIIage lhal provides lhunlnaiI
histories of all the structures.
I could say Autumn is my favorite season. But then if Im not in the season I love then I love
the season Im in. (Sounds like an old Sinatra song).
On a personal note, our family is throwing an 80 60 for Joanie and me in September. Joanie
turned 80 on August 29, and we have been married 60 years as of September 5. Let me close with
lhe slory of vhen ve hrsl nel. I vas aInosl lhree years oId and ve venl lo visil cIose friends lo see
their new little girl. We looked into the crib and my Dad asked me if I would like a little sister like
that? My answer No. Id rather have a dog!
Twenty years later, we were married.

childhood neighborhood.
DEARBORN COURT
Catherine & Andrew Broessel
Besides Novi and Livonia, Andrew and Catherine
have lived in Houston, Texas, Kansas City,
Missouri, and upstate New York. Now they have
returned to south eastern Michigan with three-
year-old Joey and cats Dusty and Rhodes to be
near family. Andrew runs a home business while
Catherine works in retail management. Settling
in Highland Lakes ofers defnite perks for them.
Tey enjoy the downtown area, the beach, the
pool, and Joey, especially, fully participates in such
activities as Hot Dog Days. If only the magician
would choose his raised hand to be the assistant
for the tricks, he would feel totally happy.
IRONWOOD COURT
Bryan Witherspoon & Carly Goerke
Both Bryan and Carly look forward to the future
while enjoying the present. Bryan fnds his career
as a sofware engineer rewarding and
growing. Carlys plans are set for student
teaching next year. Originally from the

LEHIGH LANE
Carol Labus
Afer living in Ohio for over 70 years, Carol moved
from a large home to this area, an apartment in
Park Place. Trough her brother, who lives in
Highland Lakes, she met ladies from the Womens
Luncheon/Club and then the Pinochle Club. Soon
she moved into Highland Lakes, keeping up with a
social life far more busy and flled with friendships
than she could have imagined when leaving Ohio
to start a new chapter of her life. If you want to stop
by and say hello or do a little interview with her,
you may need to check all the neighbors porches
in the area because someone will have invited her
over for a friendly chat, out to lunch or for ice
cream, or shopping. Carol recommends joining
the Womens Luncheons and Pinochle Club if you
want to feel welcome.
WINDSOR COURT
Joann Anderson
Te striking one-hundred-seventy pound Ava has,
no doubt, turned a few heads on Windsor Court.
Ava, a Great Dane by breed, has the markings
of a bovine, the gait of a thoroughbred, and the
disposition of a ewe. Te human she looks afer,
Joann, travels ofen as regional manager of the
pet food company Blue Bufalo. Her territory
encompasses Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and
parts of Indiana. Tis is a company she believes
in because one day she went to buy her favorite
popular brand of dog food, and a representative
introduced her to Blue Bufalo. Researching the
claims and qualities of this superior product led to
her present career. While Joann is on the job, Ava
gives her devoted attention to Joanns daughter
Heather. Heather is studying Special Education at
Schoolcraf College and hoping to fnd a part time
job. Ava insists on keeping Heather right at her
side on walks in Highland Lakes.

Know Your Neighbors
SHARE YOUR STORY! We would like to recognize more of our neighbors who have a shining moment. If you, a member
of your family, or a neighbor has a very special event or experience, please let us know so we can share that accomplishment with
the Highland Lakes Community. Maybe youre celebrating a special anniversary or birthday or a new birth in the family. Perhaps
your son has been named captain of the football team or your daughter had a record-breaking cross-country run.
Whatever the achievement-if youre proud of it, share it with your neighbors. Call Wilma Leonard at 248-380-8907 or e-mail
her at willie1117@aol.com and tell her your good news; the Herald Committee will do the write up for you to feature in our next
issue. Story submissions also can be dropped of in the Herald box at the Clubhouse. Make sure the individual(s) involved do not
mind the recognition. Material for publication must be signed. Article submitted by Wilma Leonard.
Te women who gather at the club house each Wednesday afernoon to play pinochle are
frequently treated to the unveiling of DARLENE HARTMANS latest sewing
creation. One may think of quilting as a school home economics project (is
home economics still taught in our high schools?), but Darlenes creations
are true works of art.
Darlene, who lives on Windsor Court, has been quilting for over twenty
years and, to date, has created between sixty and seventy quilts. Darlene began
her sewing, which is much more than a hobby, when her children were little and
attending a sewing class was a night out for the young mother. Every member of her family
and many close friends have been the lucky recipients of her artful sewing. She has especially
enjoying creating outfts for the American Girl dolls owned by her nine and seven year old grand-
daughters. She has created many outfts for the dolls including Irish and ice-skating costumes,
First Communion Dresses and raincoats and bonnets.
Darlene is a member of Our Lady of Victory congregation and for the past six years as been
an active contributor to the womens sewing auxiliary, the Stitching Busy Bodies. Darlene
guesses that she spends about ffeen hours a week on these projects. But as with all her sewing
is a pleasurable pass-time. Tis group supplies infant and baby goods to new mothers. She
has sewn many diaper bags, baby quilts and other items needed for new-borns. Tis year the
groups fund-raiser involved the auctioning of two sets of doll clothes. Teir efort
garnered $200 for the parish school and another $200 for Habitat for Humanity.
Darlene enjoys all sorts of needle work, including embroidery,
crocheting, and knitting. A hand-created gif from Darlene is surely
to be prized. She also has shared her love of hand-sewn creations
by teaching small classes of interested women. Her frst quilting
class was at the Birmingham Community Center. She is currently
sharing her talent and guiding the eforts of two of the regulars at
the Wednesday pinochle gathering.

FRANK EISENHAUER, (Aqueduct Court)
UNITED STATES ARMY, SIGNAL CORP 1952-1953
An Army Corporal, Frank served as a cryptographer in the Signal Corp at age 19.
Eisenhauer is the original German spelling. General Dwight D. Eisenhower
anglicized the spelling. No relation. But the German lady who picked up their
laundry and returned it crisp, clean, and folded, treated Frank as a Hero. His
grandparents had come to America from Hamburg.
We were all subject to the Draf back then and Frank was able to tour Europe
peace time courtesy of the U.S. Army.

September! How fast the summer of 2013 has slipped away.
Even though the weather was often not cooperative, we still
managed to pull off some really nice events. As always, the
Hot Dog Daze were successful, despite occasional raindrops
and cool breezes. Highland Days with the Magic Show and pulled
pork Kathy Baldwins tasty specialty was a well attended event. Everyone
had a super time at the Ice Cream Extravaganza. The entertainers played old favorites such
as Proud Mary as well as country tunes and songs geared to the youngsters, who danced
and pranced and had a ball!
Now that Fall is here, we have even more fun times planned. There will be a Halloween
event for the kids who will follow the spooky trail around Silver Spring Lake. Theyll be
treated to cider and donuts when they reach the beach, but theyll have their share of tricks
as ghouls and witches make their appearances along the path.
There will also be an Adult Christmas Party. I have it on good authority that there are
plans for some nice prizes, which everyone will enjoy. There is also a Christmas Caroling
night scheduled at the Clubhouse. There will be details for these get-togethers in future
Heralds.
Also, if youre a fan of camping out, there will be a repeat of the camp-out which was held
last year. Adults and Kids camped out on Silver Spring Beach and had a blast. The camp-
out will be held on September 14th this year. September 14th is also the day when there will
be isiting nurses at the clubhouse to gie nu shots. Details are in this issue o the Ierald.
If youre new to Highland Lakes or just havent made it to any events, come over and meet
your neighbors. Youll get a warm welcome guarantee! If you have an interest, we have a
committee for you.
Dont want to join a committee? Okay. Maybe youll enjoy coming to the new Craft
Night starting this year. Theres a page on that in this Herald.
Highland Lakes is a special community. We have amenities and activities for all ages.
Hope to see you soon!
