Sun City Anthem Association President Calls it Quits...Abruptly Resigns from Board


Bob Burch Resigns from Sun City Anthem Board

Image result for bob burch

A message was sent from Vice-President Rex Weddle stating Bob Burch, the current Sun City Anthem President, has resigned from the Sun City Anthem Board.

As stated in the notice:

"Under the provisions of NRS 116.3103.2(c), the Board will exercise its responsibility to fill an executive board vacancy until the next regularly scheduled election.

Also, officer positions of the executive board will be reviewed for the same purpose.

Both will be confirmed by Board action at a meeting of the executive Board."

Until the Board takes action to replace Mr. Burch and name a new president, the acting president will be the former President, Rex Weddle.

To the Sun City Anthem Board...

The SCA community is seriously divided on three important issues critical to its successful future:
  • oversight of the performance and compensation of the General Manager and senior management team
  • plans for food service and/or utilization of the restaurant space
  • strategy to restore confidence in the SCA Board's commitment to represent SCA homeowners and adhere to the law.
In order to promote unity in the community, we strongly advise that the individual chosen by the remaining Board members entail interviews of various members of the community who would like to fill the vacant board position, not in secrecy as was the choice of James Coleman.

Our recommendation is evident; the choice of Nona Tobin who was previously elected to the Sun City Anthem Board, but was removed without conformance with state law and due process.

No wrongdoing was ever proved against Ms. Tobin.  

The improper manner in which she was removed, as well as, the disrespectful manner in which she was barred from running in the past election, is a dark moment in Sun City history. 

This Board now has the opportunity to correct that injustice.

If the remaining members of this Board wish to close the wounds of a divided community, It is time for this Board to show good faith,  and cleanse the community of the taint created in the manner of her removal, and strongly consider allowing her to complete the term to which she was legally elected.

If you share this opinion, or have any other suggestions, we ask that you convey your comments to the remaining members of the Sun City Anthem Board.

Here is a direct link to the names and email addresses of the remaining Board members.

There is little doubt that...

...should this be decided in a closed door session without community involvement, a stain will continue on the reputation of the Sun City Anthem community.

If honesty and integrity exists at all, this is the RIGHT THING TO DO.

  1. Let's take yet another opportunity to DESTROY the good name of a Sun City Anthem resident, right Mr. B ?

    Are you not capable of any COURTESY?

    Your actions are those of a schoolyard BULLY who likely as a child, opened his big mouth once too often, until someone SHUT IT !

    Are you so filled with CONTEMPT for any person who would rectify the many WRONGS you have contributed to again and again ?

    How long will a community tolerate a NASTY, INSULTING  NOBODY; an individual whose every move in life exhibits FAILURE, that follows him in whatever he does or wherever he goes?

    Just what is the track record of his CORRUPTION?

    He has recommended individuals whose decisions have resulted in failure after failure regarding restaurant activity.

    He has recommended individuals who have used community assets improperly, examples of which include huge expenditures to recruit a General Manager and payment of buses to a political rally.

    He has recommended countless things that has caused Sun City Anthem to lose thousands of community assets.

    He supported the CORRUPT manner in which the removal election was handled.

    What he has accomplished in life can be expressed in a single word:

    EVIL

    Nona may not be chosen, but the very thought of appointing Aletta Waterhouse would more than prove how corrupt this DISGUSTING MACHINE is, and will continue to be, under a group of individuals who were EXPOSED as wasteful AND totally incompetent recently by Darcy Spears.

    Appointing Aletta Waterhouse, the "Librarian", who received 1,253 votes...40% of those cast in the recent removal election... would be a complete and utter act of defiance and INSULT to the community.

    Did Waterhouse lose by a few votes?

    Yes, but she LOST, but let's remind that fool that Nona Tobin WON, and was properly elected...and...he and his MACHINE, along with a General Manger who had received  836 "No Confidence" signatures and the with the assistance of a new Association Attorney, did everything in their power to embarrass and DESTROY her character.

    Do you want to have such an individual back on the Sun City Anthem Board who has NO BUSINESS experience, and supported all the restaurant FREEBIES?

    Would that really be the best choice out of 7,144 unit owners they could think of?

    It is time to shut that insulting LOSER up with his ramblings that COVER UP and TWIST things again and again, that consist of nothing other than insult after insult, and looking every bit the individual whose corrupt behavior has continued since his dishonesty resulted in losing his law license.

    Would anyone buy a used car from that carnival barker who has proven that there are no depths a person would go to DESTROY anything in his path?

    But...to hell with him.....and his CONSTANT DISPLAYS OF EGO TRIPS AND DISTORTIONS  that most look at as an act of desperation of  a LOSER in life, trying to be a "big fish" in a small pond".

    Anthem Opinions called for an OPEN MEETING allowing others to be considered for a Board position.

    Was that unreasonable?

    Of course not...because THAT IS THE FAIR THING TO TO.

    That doesn't seem to work for a person WHO WILL DO ANYTHING to CONTROL...a need that is "sick" at this stage of life.

    Sun City Anthem Board, if you insult this community by  choosing an individual who was the subject of a removal election and received 40% of the votes to remove her, all of you are asking for the biggest headache you could ever imagine.

    This is no longer the community all of  you "claimed" through your MACHINE, and day by day, their eyes are opening more and more to the financial DESTRUCTION you have  created...along with your heavily medicated loser in life whose insulting ramblings belong in a gas station toilet.

    Appointing an individual in a closed door session without allowing others to be interviewed, would do nothing other than create further division in a community in need of healing.
  2. From A. Orzada...to...Anthem Opinions

    Hey Dick,

    A great step in the right direction with the resignation of bob burch ! ! ! ! !

    I guess he has trouble sleeping at night, who wouldn't being the leader of a pack of thieves & phonies whose priorities are not the same as most all of us 7,000 SCA homeowners ! !

    Thanks for your continuing to pressure the machine here in SCA & their mouth-piece DAB.

    I DON'T WANT REX BACK IN THE PRESIDENT CHAIR ! !

    NO CLOSED DOOR ELECTIONS EITHER, THAT IS SO MUCH BS --- OPEN ELECTIONS TO FILL THE BOARD. TAKE A HIKE COLEMAN ! ! !

    Ms. TOBIN would be a breath of fresh air to the stagnant rooms of the MACHINE, or anyone else with a brain.

    No to the restaurant !

    No the the OUT OF SIGHT SALARIES TO THE SCA MGMT TEAM

    Let's have a board of directors that gets SCA raves rather than shamed on TV?

    What does that do for our homes values ?

    Keep up the good work Dick !
  3. From Joe Fay...to...Anthem Opinions

    YEAH !!!
  4. From Dave Martinson...to...Anthem Opinions

    BOD ommission...James Coleman
  5. Too late, Dave.

    He was elected 6 months ago, and we're stuck with him for the next 18 months....thanks to THE MACHINE.
    1. From Buddy Greenfield...to...Anthem Opinions

      How about the community submit all the reasons why Aletta Waterhouse should not be on the board?
      To start:

      She had enough people that signed the petition to put her on the recall vote.

      She has no relevant experience.

      She only voted with the others and has no ideas of her own.

      She lost on the last election.

      She's married to a buffoon who is known to be the laughing stock of the Community Patrol.

      She ????????
  1. From Dave Martinson...to...Anthem Opinions

    Dick, I meant to communicate that your left off the name of Jim Coleman from you BOD list link in today’s blog. 
  2. Sorry Dave.

    I just added him to the Sun City Anthem list.

    Thank goodness you brought that to my attention, or I'm sure we would have heard another of his ridiculous "ethnicity" sermons.
    1. Look at this disgusting display OF PURE TAINTED BULL...to accomplish nothing other than spinning a continual web of half truths and CORRUPTION...leading people to believe Nona Tobin's character is not worthy of consideration.

      This dear readers, is NOT journalism...it is HATE and DESPICABLE DECEPTION...with an agenda TO DESTROY.

      "Let’s appoint a person whose removal from the Board on legal grounds has apparently been condoned by the Nevada Real Estate Division, at least to the point where she hasn’t been able to get a ruling in her favor."

      Is it ever possible that EVIL man can ever tell the full truth?

      Nona Tobin's case has constantly been delayed again and again, despite her dedicated attempts to have it heard.

      It is still pending.

      As to why, ask the Ombudsman's Investigator why this would take over a year to decide.

      This entire matter is an example of how futile anything to the Ombudsman is in the state of Nevada, and rest assured, that when a new Governor is elected, we will call for HIS REPLACEMENT.

      Complete Evidence of Burch legally belonging on the removal ballot was presented to that Office from 2 individuals, and how did that office handle the matter?

      THEY DISMISSED IT WITHOUT EXPLANATION.

      Did someone "get" to that office?

      That will be something we will take to the NEW GOVERNOR in making a decision as to the future of that office.
      1. From Hugh Morrison...to...Anthem Opinions

        All I can say is WOW!

        I bow to your tenacity.

        Can’t wait to see how things progress.

        Nice job.
      2. From Yun Lee...to...Anthem Opinions

        Wow..what a shock..”if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”..and he did.

        Hopefully they will consider Nona but the existing BOD is not known for doing the Right Thing, so I am not feeling optimistic for SCA...but”miracles sometime happen”..good editorial, as usual.

        If they stick Aletta Waterhouse back on the BOD, it will be a disaster. but would not surprise me to see them appoint another loser.
        1. From Douglas West...to...Anthem Opinions

          Dick, we have talked in the past and I signed the petitions for the last recall.

          I want to thank you for staying on top of these issues and hopefully prevented another restaurant failure from occurring.

          I was discussing the expenditure you outlined with a friend and he questioned the facts you have brought up?

          He said we never spent the money on the the ovens or some of the other things.

          How to I verify what was really spent as the association seems very secretive on this?

          The machine is spinning the facts here.

          This resignation is the best thing that has happened here in a long time.

          It represents the change that hopefully has begun. The disinfectant for our problems is light. All this must be brought out of the darkness this association is and has created. 
        2. Doug,

          The Board approved the purchase,and based on the Berman blog, in his typical condescending and insulting manner, was not subsequently purchased. 

          He stated that it was Air units that were authorized, not ovens, but they are pretty much part of the same thing.

          Air vents are on top of the ovens, but of course, that technically means little to a jerk whose objective in life is to harm anything in his corrupt ways and to look for anything to create havoc.

          This was not the first time I made our readers aware of the purchase, but until now, it was not disputed.

          Mr. Berman obviously has a "back door deal" in which he is fed information not available to the unit owners, from the MACHINE and its General Manager.

          So yes, the money was in the works to be spent, but thank goodness the restaurant deal failed, otherwise we would have taken another substantial "hit" to our association funds.

          As to when it was stopped, that is a mystery, and it would be interesting to see documentation as to when that took place, rather than a general statement without details..

          What's new when anything comes from him?

          As usual it was a "spin", but evidently they stopped it...possibly as a result of the expose from Darcy Spears and the restaurant deal.

          As to why that information wasn't published, well, that's the MACHINE at work.

          At any rate, the question still remains...

          Why in the world wold they even authorize anything costing $43,000 attached to a restaurant operation without knowing one would even exist..

          ...unless they knew in advance and "the fix" was in !

          Remember, the man lost a law license a a result of his dishonest actions, and whenever something comes out of his mouth, the first thought that anyone should have is...

          "Would you buy a used car from that man?" 
          1. From Roseann and Leonardo Picca...to...Anthem Opinions

            We "VOTED" for Nona Tobin & certainly would "Love" for her to be  back on the Board!

            Keep up the "Good Work" of straightening out our community.

            Fire Sandy Sheldon & her manager, James Arteaga, and the Clarkson Law Firm who is getting rich.

            I am SOOOOOOO HAPPY, G2G backed out!

            I hope we "NEVER, EVER" get another "FAILED" restaurant in our community!

            Thank you so much, Anthem Opinions, for keeping us enlightened and for all the rest that you do for our community!
            1. To our readers,

              Looks like Mr. Mouth is once again doing his "dance" denying he lost his law license.

              Let's see, if a Massachusetts judge says you are to be suspended from the practice of law for various unethical activities as in forgery and cheating a client including the state of Massachusetts tax department, someone might explain how that is not losing a license.

              Now I hate to be redundant, but read it and weep folks.  The guy is what he is, and it ain't pretty.


            2. The biggest questions are:

              1. Why did he never seek reinstatement?
              2. How did he pass a background check to work for the federal government in a computer room?
              3. Even stranger why would any lawyer worth anything, give up a law practice to be a flunky in the computer room?

              In most states, forgery...especially of a judge, would not call for suspension, but likely being totally disbarred...and...likely TIME.
            3. Now we once again have to ask our readers:
            4. "Would you buy a used car from this man?" 
            5. We know of one Massachusetts judge who likely wouldn't !
            6.  Don't you just wish this lunatic would just shut up and leave the rest of us alone and live in peace ?
          2. From Lloyd Frank...to...Anthem Opinions

            They will not appoint Nona Tobin in my opinion to the board because they don't want a trouble maker and a person that wants to make things better.

            They want to keep things the way they are.
          3. Lloyd, if they do, it certainly leaves no doubt that there is a MACHINE in Sun City Anthem.

            How they could consider Aletta Waterhouse after losing an election and receiving 40% of the vote to recall her, would be a media frenzy in front of the Las Vegas valley.

            Picture Darcy Spears paying Rex Weddle or Aletta Waterhouse  a visit with a microphone in her hand alongside a camera recording it all !

            Now add another report as to the terms of the previous restaurant deal.

            How do you think viewers would look at that picture?

            When anyone at Sun City Anthem refused to return Channel 13 calls, how did that look?

            Did it remind you of a person on the hot seat taking the 5th amendment?

            It certainly did to most of the Las Vegas valley.

            I would think that if they were so proud in their accomplishments, they would want the world to know, don't you?

            But I'm saving the best for last.

            Picture if you will, THE MOUTH on TV as their spokesperson...knowing of his past distinguished legal career !

            So go ahead and with your backdoor deals, Sun City Anthem Board.

            Just remember the Las Vegas valley might possibly be once again  witnessing all of your "wise" decisions.

            Our suggestion to you...think twice about insulting a community, because you could look like even bigger fools than you already have...

            ...and perhaps take this final suggestion if you really care about Sun City Anthem.

            Put a muzzle on "The Mouth".

            All he's doing with his insulting articles as your "unofficial spokesman", is making asses of all you !
            1. Folks, this is the "class" that is exhibited on the Berman blog...on the 4th of July.

              Isn't it sad that such a coward named "Jay" would make such a statement?

              Is this what a community blog should consist of?

              Of course, as usual, there was no last name.

              And to you nameless "Jay", I suggest you look in the mirror when you write such trash, because anyone who would believe this to be journalism or of any intellectual content,  is of the same mental state as the publisher of the blog who would allow it.

              You likely reduced the readership of that blog as a result.

              And that blog says others hate ! LOL

              "Arendt is a MORON. I would love to punch him in the nose. What a jerk!"

              1. From John Schmidt...to...Anthem Opinions

                I find it enlightening that a man would make the following comment on the Berman blog:

                "As a friend of mine, a retired law enforcement Captain from the Chicago area and who as it turns out lived in the same Chicago community development as Arendt, their are bad people in every neighborhood."

                I also  find it difficult to believe that a Police Captain would advise us that there are bad people in every neighborhood.  I am certain we are all aware of that simple fact.

                I make this statement because of my being a patrolman /detective, and Sgt. for the Chicago Police Department for 27 years.

                I do know of one bad person in my neighborhood.

                His name is David Berman.

                He lied on his blog about a statement I made at a Board meeting, stating he had confirmed that erroneous statement with various board members.

                He subsequently retracted what he had placed on his blog.

                I then confronted him and  requested the names of those Board members who supposedly confirmed the statement the he retracted.

                 He refused to name those individuals, and when I persisted, he subsequently barred me from commenting on his blog, stating I did not remain with the subject matter.
              2. John, after I read that comment, I sent this email to a Mr. Andrew Peluso, the individual who wrote that nasty comment on the Berman blog:

                "You  lived in the same develop as I did?

                What was your address?

                A Bad person?  Would you like to more specific?

                I have never met you in my life.

                Please explain.

                Thank you.

                Dick Arendt"


                Actually, before I sent the email, I attempted to call him, but he has chosen not to make his phone number available to anyone in the community.

                As to the email I sent, he has not responded.

                I did check a source called ZABA search, and from what I could find. 

                Turns out that Mr. Peluso himself, lived in:

                Henderson, NV
                Palmdale, CA
                Modesto, CA
                Salida, CA
                Las Vegas, NV

                ...and that's a long way from the Chicago area.

                For those of you unfamiliar with the writings of Mr. Peluso, I would strongly suggest you visit the Berman blog and search his name.

                His comments are perhaps some of the most venomous of any resident who has ever resided in the Sun City Anthem community.


                If Mr. Peluso would respond, I would also very much appreciate if he would contact his supposed Police Captain friend and ask him to contact me and inform me as to who he is, what city he worked in, and the duration of his employment., and on what basis such a statement would be made.

                Until that is received, it appears that this is just another way for The Berman Gang to toss more insults.
                1. OK, this is the end of a discussion that is becoming so boring, that I have to end it here and now.  I'm almost to the point of apologizing to a community for doing so, but this has to be "it" !

                  After you read this, I am going to ask a favor of all of you.

                  In his latest "have to read BREAKING NEWS" type commentary, David Berman is now trying to convince his "flock" that I have supposedly harassed one of his readers with an email I sent to Andrew Peluso...see a copy of the above.

                  I ask any sane human being, was there anything harassing in that email?

                  Note I specified SANE human beings !

                  And yes I tried to call that man, Peluso, but his number wasn't listed in the SCA directory...as I also stated that above.

                  Mr. Peluso, had his phone worked, or if he has one, would have held the distinction that, in a 6 year period, being only the 2nd person I ever tried to contact by phone, asking why a person would make such a disturbing statement.

                  Unlike David Berman, people call me, I don't call them.

                  I'm too busy composing articles that interest people, rather than the BITCHING and MOANING that goes on  "over yonder", where in the past few days, Nona Tobin and I have been honored with some of the most childlike and downright MEAN rhetoric known to mankind....again and again and again.

                  While Nona and I were enjoying a holiday, Peluso and Berman chose to do what both seem to do on a regular basis...BITCH ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE !

                  It's what they do far better than most, and we're used to it by now.

                  Getting back to Peluso, he of course,  didn't answer the email, and since he doesn't know how to operate a phone, instead ran to his demented playmate, and instead posted this:

                  "Truth and Civility matter. Duty and Honor through Service to both Community and Country I respect. Some choose to carry the Flag some choose not to. So be it."

                  Posted by: Andrew Peluso | July 05, 2018 at 12:06 PM

                  Now of course this is the day following an article I wrote honoring the men who signed the Declaration of Independence and, according to this blog counter, was read by 1,541 people on a national holiday.

                  So folks this really needs to stop, but after so many years, that does not appear to be possible with some who obviously haven't accomplished much in their lives, and whose literary abilities and reading enjoyment  consist of reprinting association elblasts, reminding the community of their impending demise, and last but not least, BITCHING AND MOANING about selective individuals who has seen the real Berman and Gang in action, and feel a need to vomit whenever he is nearby.

                  And so, I am sending out a plea to our community to assist in establishing a GO FUND ME account in order to obtain the necessary funds  to purchase two white jackets that include restraints in order to protect themselves on their way to the Funny Farm.

                  I think I've had enough of dealing with lunatics, but at least all who read the blogs can now see what populates David's Anthem Journal, and the value they add to society. 
                  I have much better things to do other than arguing with insanity.

    But...to hell with him.....and his CONSTANT DISPLAYS OF EGO TRIPS AND DISTORTIONS  that most look at, as an act of desperation of  a LOSER in life, trying to be a "big fish" in a small pond".

    Anthem Opinions called for an OPEN MEETING allowing others to be considered for a Board position.

    Was that unreasonable?

    Of course not...because THAT IS THE FAIR THING TO TO.

    That doesn't seem to work for a person WHO WILL DO ANYTHING to CONTROL...a need than is "sick" at this stage of life.

    Sun City Anthem Board, if you insult this community by  choosing an individual who was the subject of a removal election and received 40% of the votes to remove her, all of you are asking for the biggest headache you could ever imagine.

    This is no longer the community all you "claimed" through your MACHINE, and day by day, their eyes are opening more and more to the financial DESTRUCTION you have  created...along with your heavily medicated loser in life whose insulting ramblings belong in a gas station toilet.

    Appointing an individual in a closed door session without allowing others to be interviewed, would do nothing other than create further division in a community in need of healing.

    Hey Dick,
     
    A great step in the right direction with the resignation of bob burch ! ! ! ! ! 

    I guess he has trouble sleeping at night, who wouldn't being the leader of a pack of thieves & phonies whose priorities are not the same as most all of us 7,000 SCA homeowners ! ! 
     
    Thanks for your continuing to pressure the machine here in SCA & their mouth-piece DAB.
     
    I DON'T WANT REX BACK IN THE PRESIDENT CHAIR ! ! 
     
    NO CLOSED DOOR ELECTIONS EITHER, THAT IS SO MUCH BS --- OPEN ELECTIONS TO FILL THE BOARD. TAKE A HIKE COLEMAN ! ! !
     
    Ms. TOBIN would be a breath of fresh air to the stagnant rooms of the MACHINE, or anyone else with a brain.
     
    No to the restaurant !

    No the the OUT OF SIGHT SALARIES TO THE SCA MGMT TEAM 

    Let's have a board of directors that gets SCA raves rather than shamed on TV?

    What does that do for our homes values ?
     
    Keep up the good work Dick !

    How about the community submit all the reasons why Aletta Waterhouse should not be on the board?
    To start:

    She had enough people that signed the petition to put her on the recall vote.

    She has no relevant experience.

    She only voted with the others and has no ideas of her own.

    She lost on the last election. 

    She's married to a buffoon who is known to be the laughing stock of the Community Patrol.

    She ????????

  9. Look at this disgusting display OF PURE TAINTED BULL...to accomplish nothing other than spinning a continual web of half truths and CORRUPTION...leading people to believe Nona Tobin's character is not worthy of consideration.

    This dear readers, is NOT journalism...it is HATE and DESPICABLE DECEPTION...with an agenda TO DESTROY.

    "Let’s appoint a person whose removal from the Board on legal grounds has apparently been condoned by the Nevada Real Estate Division, at least to the point where she hasn’t been able to get a ruling in her favor."

    Is is ever possible that EVIL man can ever tell the full truth?

    Nona Tobin's case has constantly been delayed again and again, despite her dedicated attempts to have it heard.

    It is still pending.

    As to why, ask the Ombudsman's Investigator, why this would take over a year to decide.

    This entire matter is an example of how futile anything to the Ombudsman is in the state of Nevada, and rest assured, that when a new Governor is elected, we will call for HIS REPLACEMENT.

    Complete Evidence of Burch legally belonging on the removal ballot was presented to that Office from 2 individuals, and how did that office handle the matter?

    THEY DISMISSED IT WITHOUT EXPLANATION.

    Did someone "get" to that office?

    That will be something we will take to the NEW GOVERNOR in making a decision as to the future of that office.

    Wow..what a shock..”if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”..and he did.

    Hopefully they will consider Nona but the existing BOD is not known for doing the Right Thing, so I am not feeling optimistic for SCA...but”miracles sometime happen”..good editorial, as usual.

    If they stick Aletta Waterhouse back on the BOD, it will be a disaster. but would not surprise me to see them appoint another loser.

    Dick, we have talked in the past and I signed the petitions for the last recall.
     
    I want to thank you for staying on top of these issues and hopefully prevented another restaurant failure from occurring.
     
    I was discussing the expenditure you outlined with a friend and he questioned the facts you have brought up?
     
    He said we never spent the money on the the ovens or some of the other things.
     
    How to I verify what was really spent as the association seems very secretive on this?
     
    The machine is spinning the facts here.
     
    This resignation is the best thing that has happened here in a long time.
     
    It represents the change that hopefully has begun. The disinfectant for our problems is light. All this must be brought out of the darkness this association is and has created.

  13. Doug,
     
    The Board approved the purchase,and based on the Berman blog, in his typical condescending and insulting manner, was not subsequently purchased.

    He stated that it was Air units that were authorized, not ovens, but they pretty much part of the same thing.

    Air vents are on top of the ovens, but of course, that technically means little to a jerk whose objective in life is to harm anything in his corrupt ways and to look for anything to create havoc.
     
    This was not the first time I made our readers aware of the purchase, but until now, it was not disputed.
     
    Mr. Berman obviously has a "back door deal" in which he is fed information not available to the unit owners, from the MACHINE and its General Manager.
     
    So yes, the money was in the works to spent, but thank goodness the restaurant deal failed otherwise we would have taken another substantial "hit" to our association funds.
     
    As to when it was stopped, that is a mystery, and it would be interesting to see documentation as to when that took place, rather than a general statement without details..

    What's new ?
     
    As usual it was a "spin", but evidently they stopped it...possibly as a result of the expose on the restaurant deal.

    As to why that information wasn't published, well, that's the MACHINE at work.

    At any rate, the question still remains...

    Why in the world wold they even authorize anything costing $43,000 attached to a restaurant operation without knowing one would even exist..

    ...unless they knew in advance and "the fix" was in !

    Remember, the man lost a law license a a result of his dishonest actions, and whenever something comes out of his mouth, the first thought that anyone should have is"

    "Would you buy a used car from that man?"

    Fire Sandy Sheldon & her manager, James Arteaga, and the Clarkson Law Firm who is getting rich. 

    I am SOOOOOOO HAPPY, G2G backed out! 

    I hope we "NEVER, EVER" get another "FAILED" restaurant in our community!

    Thank you so much, Anthem Opinions, for keeping us enlightened and for all the rest that you do for our community!

  15. From Lloyd Frank...to...Anthem Opinions

    They will not appoint Nona Tobin in my opinion to the board because they don't want a trouble maker and a person that wants to make things better.

    They want to keep things the way they are.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Lloyd, if they do, it certainly leaves no doubt that there is a MACHINE in Sun City Anthem.

    How they could consider Aletta Waterhouse after losing an election and receiving 40% of the vote to recall her, would be a media frenzy in front of the Las Vegas valley. 

    Picture Darcy Spears paying Rex Weddle or Aletta Waterhouse  a visit with a microphone in her hand alongside a camera recording it all !

    Now add another report as to the terms of the previous restaurant deal. 

    How do you think viewers would look at that picture?  

    When anyone at Sun City Anthem refused to return Channel 13 calls, how did that look?

    Did it remind you of a person on the hot seat taking the 5th amendment?

    It certainly did to most of the Las Vegas valley.

    I would think that if they were so proud in their accomplishments, they would want the world to know, don't you?

    But I'm saving the best for last.

    Picture if you will, THE MOUTH on TV as their spokesperson...knowing of his past distinguished legal career !

    So go ahead and with your backdoor deals, Sun City Anthem Board.

    Just remember the Las Vegas valley might possibly be once again  witnessing all of your "wise" decisions.

    Our suggestion to you...think twice about insulting a community, because you could look like even bigger fools than you already have...

    ...and perhaps take this final suggestion if you really care about Sun City Anthem.

    Put a muzzle on "The Mouth".

    All he's doing with his insulting articles as your "unofficial spokesman", is making asses of all you !

  17. Folks, this is the "class" that is exhibited on the Berman blog...on the 4th of July.

    Isn't it sad that such a coward named "Jay" would make such a statement?

    Is this what a community blog should consist of?
     
    Of course, as usual, there was no last name.

    And to you nameless "Jay", I suggest you look in the mirror when you write such trash, because anyone who would believe this to be journalism or of any intellectual content,  is of the same mental state as the publisher of the blog who would allow it.

    You likely reduced the readership of that blog as a result.

    And that blog says others hate ! LOL

  18. From John Schmidt...to...Anthem Opinions

    I find it enlightening that a man would make the following comment on the Berman blog:
     
    "As a friend of mine, a retired law enforcement Captain from the Chicago area and who as it turns out lived in the same Chicago community development as Arendt, their are bad people in every neighborhood."
     
    I also  find it difficult to believe that a Police Captain would advise us that there are bad people in every neighborhood.  I am certain we are all aware of that simple fact.
     
    I make this statement because of my being a patrolman /detective, and Sgt. for the Chicago Police Department for 27 years.
     
    I do know of one bad person in my neighborhood.
     
    His name is David Berman.
     
    He lied on his blog about a statement I made at a Board meeting, stating he had confirmed that erroneous statement with various board members.
     
    He subsequently retracted what he had placed on his blog.

    I then confronted him and  requested the names of those Board members who supposedly confirmed the statement the he retracted.

     He refused to name those individuals, and when I persisted, he subsequently barred me from commenting on his blog, stating I did not remain with the subject matter.

    ReplyDelete
  19. John, after I read that comment, I sent this email to a Mr. Andrew Peluso, the individual who wrote that nasty comment on the Berman blog:

    "You you lived in the same develop as I did?

    What was your address?

    A Bad person?  Would you like to more specific?

    I have never met you in my life. 

    Please explain.

    Thank you.

    Dick Arendt"

    Actually, before I sent the email, I attempted to call him, but he has chosen not to make his phone number available to anyone in the community.

    As to the email I sent, he has not responded.

    I did check a source called ZABA search, and from what I could find. 

    Turns out that Mr. Peluso himself, lived in:

    Henderson, NV
    Palmdale, CA
    Modesto, CA
    Salida, CA
    Las Vegas, NV

    ...and that's a long way from the Chicago area.

    For those of you unfamiliar with the writings of Mr. Peluso, I would strongly suggest you visit the Berman blog and search his name.

    His comments are perhaps some of the most venomous of any resident who has ever resided in the Sun City Anthem community.

    If Mr. Peluso would respond, I would also very much appreciate if he would contact his supposed Police Captain friend and ask him to contact me and inform me as to who he is, what city he worked in, and the duration of his employment., and on what basis such a statement would be made.

    Until that is received, it appears that this is just another way for The Berman Gang to toss more insults.

  20. OK, this is the end of a discussion that is becoming so boring, that I have to end it here and now.  I'm almost to the point of apologizing to a community for doing so, but this has to be "it" !

    After you read this, I am going to ask a favor of all of you.
     
    In his latest "have to read BREAKING NEWS type commentary, David Berman is now trying to convince his "flock" that I have supposedly harassed one of his readers with an email I sent to Andrew Pelusso...see a copy of the above.
     
    I ask any sane human being, was there anything harassing in that email?

    Note I specified SANE human beings !
     
    And yes I tried to call that man, Pelusso, but his number wasn't listed in the SCA directory...as I also stated that above.

    Mr. Pelusso, had his phone worked, or if he has one, would have held the distinction that, in a 6 year period, being only the 2nd person I ever tried to contact by phone, asking why a person would make such a disturbing statement.

    Unlike David Berman, people call me, I don't call them. 

    I'm too busy composing articles that interest people, rather than the BITCHING and MOANING that goes on  "over yonder", where in the past few days, Nona Tobin and I have been honored with some of the most childlike and downright MEAN rhetoric known to mankind....again and again and again.

    While Nona and I were enjoying a holiday, Pelusso and Berman chose to do what both seem to do on a regular basis...BITCH ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE !

    It's what they do far better than most, and we're used to it by now.

    Getting back to Pelusso, he of course,  didn't answer the email, and since he doesn't know how to operate a phone, instead ran to his demented playmate, and instead posted this:
     
    "Truth and Civility matter. Duty and Honor through Service to both Community and Country I respect. Some choose to carry the Flag some choose not to. So be it."

    Posted by: Andrew Peluso | July 05, 2018 at 12:06 PM

    Now of course this is the day following an article I wrote honoring the men who signed the Declaration of Independence and, according to this blog counter, was read by 1,541 people on a national holiday.

    So folks this really needs to stop, but after so many years, that does not appear to be possible with some who obviously haven't accomplished much in their lives, and whose literary abilities and reading enjoyment  consist of reprinting association elblasts, reminding the community of their impending demise, and last but not least, BITCHING AND MOANING about selective individuals who has seen the real Berman and Gang in action, and feel a need to vomit whenever he is nearby.

    And so, I am sending out a plea to our community to assist in establishing a GO FUND ME account in order to obtain the necessary funds  to purchase two white jackets that include restraints in order to protect themselves on their way to the Funny Farm. 
     
    I think I've had enough of dealing with lunatics, but at least all who read the blogs can now see what populates David's Anthem Journal, and the value they add to society.   
    I have much better things to do other than arguing with insanity.

    And to those two, I dedicate this song to both in appreciation of what they have added to the Sun City Anthem community, and I ask all of you to hum this tune when you see either of them crawling through the community!
