Fun With Social Distancing...A New Series

A New Series of Articles

Understanding social distancing and how it helps

Looks like we're in for continuing our " changing" lifestyle until at least April 30, 2020 since President Trump ordered the nation to continue its "shutdown" to curb the spread of the corona virus, and that to many of us, means..


What am I going to do with myself for the next month?



ARE YOU BORED? | Cartoon man, Cartoon, Commercial cleaning services

I think it's now well known that being a "doom and gloomer" isn't our style, and if you want to be obsessed with that virus 24/7, this isn't the place to come.  

We're into "let's make the best of it", that watching the American economy tank, or viewing the hourly demise head count on news shows....


...does nothing but create panic and fear, and DEPRESSES THE LIVING HELL OUT OF US !


Depression clipart, Picture #9963 depression clipart
I've lost track of the emails we've received about warning after warning, but PLEASE...don't continue filling our mail box with them.

We know about the virus,  we're concerned about it, we believe you should be aware of it, but we're NOT obsessed with it.

At the same time, we understand a number of you don't agree with our position, but our mission is to ENTERTAIN YOU, and entertaining you doesn't include reminding you day after day, hour after hour, and minute after minute, of your impending departure from mother earth.

Life (at this stage of the game) is too short...and with each passing day, gets shorter; and frankly, I get reminded of my mortality by merely looking in the mirror every day without being reminded of the earth's population coming to an end.

We don't deny that all of us should be careful, and the last thing in the world we would ever want to do is harm others, but while the lives of others must be considered, I have no intention of ENDING MINE in the process...

...that there are many activities available to enjoy until this problem passes.

Our Information Pages, "Local Entertainment Bargains", "Strip Entertainment", "Laughlin Live" and "Dining Bargains" are getting empty with this pandemic (other than the wonderful Facebook concerts), but we have a few ways to cope with "the new lifestyle" until things get back to normal in the days to come.

With all of this in mind, in an attempt to "entertain" both sides of the situation...

We're going to have a series of articles entitled"


"Fun with Social Distancing"

We'll check out some of the activities available to you both inside and outside the house....

...to assist you in getting past this American crisis.

and...we'll start tomorrow.

And PLEASE, if you have any ideas that might fit this category, send them to us in order that we can share them.

Remember...we are in this together...that the next month is going to be challenging, but if you keep a positive attitude, we'll all get through it and life as we once knew it, will return before you know it !

Hope you'll tune in.

The single issue that SCA homeowners should consider when deciding for whom to vote in this year’s board election is whether they want SCA board members who represent the best interests of a broad majority of homeowners or board members who represent their entrenched, selfish minority interests?

You might think that answering this question is a no-brainer. But for years, a small group of self-selected insiders have used tactics designed to distract and divide homeowners in their attempts to convince a majority of homeowners to vote against our best interest. Their efforts have been successful. Their control of SCA governance has resulted in
  • A reserve fund with a deficit of over $1.5 million, and growing
  • An over compensated management group
  • Multiple restaurant failures
  • Legal and accounting professionals controlled by management instead of the SCA Board
  • The destruction of volunteer standing committees designed to protect us
  • The loss of transparency by hiding information from homeowners, and
  • An unwelcoming, indeed hostile, atmosphere that discourages highly qualified in our community from serving on the board and the standing committees.
In 2020, SCA homeowners have the opportunity to regain control of the SCA governance process by electing board members who will represent our best interests, not the narrow self-interests of the few. I urge you to vote for the following candidates so that SCA can return to governance that represents the vast majority of SCA homeowners

Machine Mailer Endorses Candidate with History of Bankruptcy...An Anthem Opinions Editorial


Anthem Opinions Sends our Thanks
to the
Machine

Donald Duck Smirk GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY

Did you get this in Saturday's mail?  

It was from The Machine.

(Just Click on the above to enlarge it)


We did too, but after reading it closely, we came to this conclusion:

Woman Hand Writing Timing Is Everything With Black Marker On ...

Did you notice the bottom rectangle that listed 11 former members of the Sun City Anthem Board of Directors  who sent this to the entire Sun City Anthem Community, and in doing so, identified themselves as follows:

David Berman
Jerry Gardberg
Celeste Bove
Mike Carey
Jim Long
Bella Meese
Jean Capillupo
Tom Nissen
Rex Weddle
Bob Burch
Pat Caroll

...spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars in printing and postage, endorsing the following individuals:

Candice Karrow
Steve Anderson
Paul Perlstein
Wendy Linow

We believe that doing do was a belief they saw themselves in these candidates, and in that respect, we fully agree.

Remember, these were those who led you through the years, and have now come forth and endorsed an individual who declared Chapter 7 bankrupcy (Wendy Linow) a mere two and a half years ago!

And...we checked out the return address on the mailer too. 

Clark County Records showed it was sent from the Capillupo-Nady Family Trust a.ka. Jean Capillupo, the same one who, as a former President of Sun City Anthem, authorized two $20,000 loans to a former restaurant tenant without proper vetting....and...both defaulted....leaving you and I to pay the bill.

As you can see, Anthem Opinions appreciates and thanks The Machine for their recognizing such financial prowess...

...further proving our point as to their incompetence and lack of success in financial decision making.

With the exception of Steve Anderson...

All have proven that...

Water Always Seeks Its Own Level - Journey In Principles

We urge our readers to read through this charade, recognize them for being the "political hacks" they are, and urge our community to END THE DESTRUCTIVE AND CONTROLLING MACHINE each evidently are proud of belonging to...

...while the rest of us have been paying through the nose for their mistakes.

Though we do agree that choosing Steve Anderson for a position on the Sun CIty Anthem Board is a positive step, it's time for REAL CHANGE, change that we believe can only be accomplished by electing, Nelson Orth (2), Richard Pope (3), in addition to Steve Anderson (4).

Remember: 

If you demand honesty in community governance, the only way to accomplish it is change, and that change can only take place by voting....

2-3-4

We have no recommendation for a fourth candidate because none have impressed us in any way.




We have to acknowledge those who support a MACHINE, the latest members of the Berman Hall of Shame for their excellent manner in  "classy" educational commenting....further evidence of the social upbringing each must have had to obtain their "15 minutes of fame".

That man is got to sick in the head, vicious, he is poison.

Kudos for you, not to respond.
You never hesitate to publish opinions that differ from yours.
Your fellow blogger goes insane if anyone disagrees with him.
He's both arrogant and insecure.
I've been told by a very reliable source that he is constantly monitoring your blog.
First the past 6 months, I've been cognizant that he launches an attack on you first..


Posted by: Linda Greenblatt | March 28, 2020 at 03:47 PM

David, Please don't change your way of communication with us. 
I enjoy reading your posts. 
I turned him off a long time ago. 
Don't know don't care not intrested what it has to say. 
It must be going stir crazy.

  1. From John Ray...to...Anthem Opinions

    I am sure you have seen the flyer sent by the restaurant crew asking for people to vote for them, at the same time the ballots arrived.

    Don't know who paid for the piece, but I am afraid it will be used to confuse people to vote for them, since it appears there will no meeting to talk to the candidates.

    My question is will Nelson Orth or Richard Pope send out a mailer, or how will they overcome not having a meeting for people to support them?

    I know you have been very supportive, and have a good following of SCA residents that hopefully won't be swayed my what's looks like an official mailing piece, but will it be enough?

    You also haven't said anything about Stephen Anderson, and my apologies if you have and I have missed it.

    I hope your blog will be large enough to stop the restaurant crew, and the tens of thousands that they have cost us already
  2. From Virginia Requa...to...Anthem Opinions

    Hi Dick - I assume you are still recommending Pope and Orth for the Board?

    Yes, I agree that vote for only 2 seats and let the other votes be diluted between the others.

    Berman is really pushing Karrow….it is so disgusting.

    Thanks, Virginia
  3. John & Virginia,

    After looking carefully at Steve Anderson, we feel he, along with Nelson Orth and Richard Pope. would make excellent Board members. 

    We will have a very positive look at Steve Anderson in the next day or two, but as far as looking at Karrow, Linow, and Perstein, NONE HAVE ANY IMPRESSIVE CREDENTIALS.

    Linow's bankruptcy makes her a ridiculous choice; the only individuals who seem to share a "fondness" for Candace Karrow are the MACHINE; and Perstein....well...he lives in a world all his own.

    I realize that there are 4 seats to be filled, but as far as the fourth, we'll leave that up to the community to choose THE BEST from THE WORST.

    Personally, I will be voting for 2-3-4 only.
  1. From B. Greenfield...to...Anthem Opinions

    I think they picked Anderson as their 4th pick only because Berman advised against Richard or Nelson.

    Berman opposed Anderson when he ran a few years ago.

    I wonder why he is now ok with him now, but wasn't then?
  2. From Bill B...to...Anthem Opinions

    Maybe some dissension in their ranks because I notice No Aletta Waterhouse.

    Someone explain the humor- David but not Roz?

    Maybe her fiasco with the Liberty Center kept her name off?

    Then again,let me hear Bella Meese’s  explanation for the Hillary buses, and Jim Long's for overriding the ARC and Community standards.

    What a bunch of fools- - Court Jesters all. 
  1. Why do we often seem to forget some of the other "remarkable achievements" that occurred during the reigns of the above "Machine 11" ?

    a. 5 Failed restaurants...even accepting a bank robber and his wife as one of them and another who was caught walking out the back door with Sun City Anthem equipment.

    b. A Liberty Center accepted on an "as is" basis....costing residents thousands of dollars.

    c. An IRS settlement costing us $100,000 plus accounting and legal fees due to incorrectly filing a wrong Income Tax return.

    d. Withholding the contents of a C.O.O. contract not deemed to be confidential by the Nevada Real Estate Division,a document still not available on an official SCA website, yet threatening possible criminal punishment to anyone disclosing it.

    e. Citing hundreds or residents for the most ridiculous reasons as to how homes were decorated.

    f. Being elected to the HOA Hall of Shame on Channel 13 on TWO occasions.

    Yes siree, they are the best references to endorse anyone, aren't they?

    Actions speak louder than words.
Both this year and in 2016 when I ran, I had broad support and had endorsements both from Anthem Opinions and David's Anthem Journal. His endorsement was posted on March 30, 2016.

  1. To Steve Anderson...from Anthem Opinions 

    Steve, before you play both sides of the fence, let me remind you and our readers that a number of us walked the streets, knocking on doors, and putting us signs to support you in 2016.


    None of that took place on the part of David Berman and his Machine.


    Berman many have supported you verbally, but in NO OTHER WAY !.

    But...your support from "The Machine" quickly dissipated following an article written by David Berman telling his readers om April 16, 2016 and I quote:

    Dick Arendt: A Liar, But Is He Also Demented?

    On April 18, 2016, you commented  on that blog as follows, and I again quote, your addressing Mr. Berman>

    "You deplore the fact that Mr. Arendt “expends an inordinate amount of time on his blog engaged in name-calling…” and that “…in my opinion, he drags the process down to an unacceptable level.” This is certainly your right to believe this and write about it, but what does little to further any modeling of sticking to the facts, you then engage in calling Mr. Arendt a liar and demented among other things. You are then doing what you deplore and accuse him of doing. For those people who know Mr. Arendt he is neither a liar or comes even close to being demented. That is derogatory and not necessary for a thorough discussion of the issues. Further as I have read Mr. Arendt’s articles he is to me an “equal opportunity” person in taking issue equally with men and women that he is in disagreement with."

    There after, because you defended me, THE MACHINE did you in !
