Liar Liar Pants on Fire
Todays Delegate Assembly was punctuated with some animated finger pointing and name calling; herewith some background:
Some four and one half years ago, Mr. Waldman, the owner of our Golf course, made his first effort to cause housing to be built on our Golf Course. In this first effort, he was attempting to sell the property to D.R. Horton; a major builder, who would then build some 600 condo units. This never happened, because Mr. Waldman could not get the Zoning changed, or more accurately, the "In Perpetuity" Plat restriction overturned. This inability to proceed was a direct result of the resistance of Century Village Unit Owners.
It was around that time that Phil Shapkin formed the Pro-Active Committee to save the Golf Course (of which I am a member). Initially this was a UCO Committee, but, because Phil believed that the prior Administration under Bob Marshall supported the developer, he morphed the Committee into a Not for Profit Corporation and separated the Committee from UCO.
Having been present at most of the related meetings, it is my belief that the Marshall Administration did not support the Developer, but was merely in favor of having the plan heard by all of the Unit Owners of Century Village, so that they could decide for themselves.
From this series of events flow the acrid antipathy that we heard boil up today at the Delegate Assembly.
While this is a very abbreviated recounting of complex events which are ongoing, I hope it gives you all the flavor of the History of this conflict. This story is still being written; the outcome is far from certain.

Ok, how about a real blast from the past with the video.
Enjoy,

I can't give you a blast
from the past on this
video because I'm too
young. The video was
made before I became the
darling daughter of my
parents.

Not likely, as the extract from WIKI indicates that this song reached # 12 on the charts in 1965

"The Castaways are an American garage rock band from the Twin Cities in Minnesota.
Their first and only hit single was "Liar, Liar". Written by band leader James Donna and Denny Craswell, produced by Timothy D. Kehr and released by Soma Records, it reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1965"
I very well remember "Liar, Liar" from the 60's. Good one! Great to dance to.
