Good Monday evening. 

Losing to Ole Miss was ……… well words can’t describe!    Less Milage needs to hire two additional assistant coaches, one to manage time-outs, and the other to manage the clock!!!  One comment I read said that Milage was like a deer in headlights.  Another said he became a spectator and forgot about coaching.  Yet somehow he manages to win games, and to LSU fans, that is the bottom line.  Also, congrats to the Jaguar Nation for another win and an outstanding season.

A few years ago, after losing a close game, LSU running back Rondell Mealey, in a post game interview, said he thought the team was laxative!  Well the team was laxative again against Ole Miss.

Now to business.

Today, my wife, acting on behalf of Neighborhood Watch in the absence of Frank Conley, received an email from Caroll Cedotal listing security issues with the clubhouse.  With Caroll’s permission, I’m posting his email below.

“I would like to make someone aware of the security problems at the Clubhouse and Pool areas. The gate has been open on a number of mornings when I arrived to enter the fitness center. It does not close fully; therefore, the electronic latch, even though it energizes, does not lock the gate to the pool area and the gater is left ajar. The door to the back hallway of the clubhouse also does not latch properly and needs attention before vandals enter and cost us some added misery. Finally, the stationary bike in the fitness center has been broken for months. Another resident and myself have fixed it on a number of occasions; but, now it needs service from a factory rep.

I paid my dues and expect to see the facility and equipment secure and in working order.”

Thank you,

Caroll Cedotal

For those of you who read my posts, I wrote about the long standing issues with the clubhouse, the gate, the security lights, etc., a couple of weeks ago.  I’m pleased that Caroll is speaking out.  Every time I hear someone talk about clubhouse issues, I’m reminded that our officers are also “laxative.”  It’s not one thing that needs attention, but several things that are not being addressed.  A few days ago, I wrote about the vandals who broke the railing on the front porch, and the condition of the front window and door.  Pictures were attached. Now Caroll is reminding us of old issues that have not been resolved. 

If the president and board members are not willing to honor their commitment they made by allowing themselves to be nominated and elected, then they should resign.
