good advice then, and it is justas important now.

I know a young couple fromAustralia, and was surprised tolearn how seriously they takeelections in the land downunder. It is the law that eligiblevoters must vote, and if youneglect to vote you are facedwith a stiff fine. Now that mayseem a bit harsh to us, but it isa good example of takingresponsibility for the destiny ofa nation.

I know you will make goodchoices for the board ofdirectors here in WindsorGardens. We have anoutstanding slate of candidatesfor you to consider.

That brings us to the local andnational elections. Sometimein the past I heard that WindsorGardens residents have reallyhigh numbers of people whovote. To back up thisinformation I called the office

of Marcia Johnson, our citycouncilperson for District 6.The figures are outstanding. Inthe city of Denver the fiveprecincts in Windsor Gardenshave the highest percentage ofregistered voters who actuallyvote. One of the precincts hasa 67.5% voting record, and theother four are around 62%.

Now, that is pretty impressiveconsidering that in some stateor local elections only about12% of registered voters vote.Wow! Good for you my fellowWindsor Gardens residents.Not only are you great people,you are great citizens.

In November you may bemailing your ballot. I personallylike this method best becauseof the convenience. Or, youmay prefer to get out on a crispNovember day to join yourneighbors as we exercise ourrights as citizens of this greatcountry.

Honking for Safety’sSake

I would like to respond to theletter published last month inWindsor Life regarding the“Annoying Honking” of carhorns as drivers back out oftheir garages.

It is true, to the best of myknowledge, that driversbacking out of their garagesare not under any mandate tosignal such intent. It is also truethat we have a ten mile perhour speed limit in all of ourparking lots and driveways.

What I don’t know is if the letterwriter actually drives a car andif she is fully aware of thehazard of exiting a garageblindly trusting that all drivers,beyond her vision, areproceeding slowly andcautiously watching out for her.When driving on the highwaythe authorities warn us to drive

defensively, relying on otherdrivers to look out for us isfoolhardy at best.

There are also the writer ’sstatements regarding the lackof necessity and the commentabout a good idea whose timewas past. When has safetyever had a time limit orexpiration date? Those driversentering or leaving the parkinglot at excessive speed make itessential that some form ofalarm or warning announceyour intention to exit yourgarage.

I admit to being a three beeperhorn honker but I don’tguarantee this to be theanswer to our safety issuebecause, despite theseprecautions, I have had driversspeed past me when I had mycar halfway out of the garage.Possibly I was backing out tooslowly. Patience is a virtue.

To the author of last month’sarticle, who has only beenliving here for a year, let me saythat condominium livingrequires a lifestyle adjustment– it is not suited to every one.Basically it is very democratic,providing for the benefit andenjoyment of all. Your lettermakes it sound like, if you don’tget your way you will leave us.

I have lived in threecondominiums. My previoushome was in Florida foreighteen years. There wereoccasional inconveniences inall three condos. Why shouldthe brief toot of a horn be moredistressing than the sound ofa lawn mower or the trashtruck? These sounds arepassing. As a ten-year residentI’m going to keep on tooting forsafety’s sake.

The Association believes thatthe membership has the rightto know some additionalinformation about this casesince it affects our communityand is a matter of public record.In Case #08C01702 Mr. RobertKratz challenged the manner inwhich the Association fulfills itsduty to pay property taxes on

his behalf, claiming that theAssociation over-billed him forproperty tax payments in 2007by $57.78.

Asserting breach of contractand declaratory relief, the suitalso asked for the recovery ofall amounts Mr. Kratz claimedwere due through the date oftrial from the Association, plusinterest and attorney’s fees andcosts. The Associationdefended against the claims,believing that Mr. Kratz’sproperty tax assessments wereaccurate and appropriate. Atthe trial, evidence andtestimony was presented toJudge Herbert H. Galchinsky

by both parties. Afterconsidering all the evidence,Judge Galchinsky ruled in favorof the Association, affirmingthat the manner in which theAssociation assesses ownersfor property taxes is proper andin accordance with the WindsorGardens governingdocuments.

On September 15, 2008,Judge Galchinsky furtherordered a monetary judgmentin favor of the Association in thesum of $3,000 for attorney’sfees and $60 in court costs fora total of $3,060. Mr. Kratz paidthis amount to the Associationon September 26, 2008.

Digital television promises aclearer viewing experiencewith higher definition pictures,more channels, and availabilityof additional spectrum forwireless communications andpublic safety purposes. Butmany people and localgovernments are still seeing asnowy picture regarding howthe conversion from the currentanalog television system todigital will work. Despiteallocating more than $1 billion

Digital TV Transition: What You Need to Know

to the transition project, thefederal government has notbeen very aggressive, to date,in getting viewers to “tune in”to what they need to do toreceive digital televisionsignals after February 17,2009.

The transition, simply put,marks the end of televisiontransmissions in an analogformat and the beginning ofdigital-only signals across theUnited States. This articlehopes to “clear up the signal”about what the transition is,who will be affected by it, andwhat’s needed to receivedigital TV.

When does this all happen?

Currently a large percentage ofTV stations broadcast inanalog (standard definition),digital (standard definition) andHDTV (high definition). Thefederal government has madea mandatory cutover date ofFebruary 17, 2009 when allstations (except low power)must broadcast in digital andHDTV only.

Digital TV does notnecessarily mean HDTV

The February 2009 deadlinesets the date when broadcastchannels stop sending analog

signals and transmit digitalonly. HDTV is an ultra-highquality television signal in awidescreen format, requiring aspecial television monitor todisplay the programming.Digital broadcasting doesn’tnecessarily need a specialmonitor; it can be seen ontraditional television sets whichmost people currently have intheir homes.
