Thank you to everyone for your patience while the repairs were being completed.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Dear Neighbors, Two cats have been observed wandering near the Amethyst Lane and Cheyenne Trail area. One is a gray and white cat and the other is a black cat (photos below).While the gray and white cat has simply been seen outdoors a couple of times, the black cat is disrupting the neighborhood by chasing wildlife and hissing at indoor pets through windows. A neighbor also recently observed that the black cat appears to be a bit beat up. It is crucial that community members keep their cats indoors, especially in our harsh Sonoran Desert: This is a heartfelt plea to the owners of …

After we were roasted at the two previous picnics. the clear skies, light breeze and comfortable temperatures this year made our Spring Potluck Picnic just a wonderful time. The team from Rural Metro Fire stopped in with their shiny new engine — but it had to go off on a call fairly quickly.

New rules keep us from showing the general crowd at the picnic, but more than 47 people showed up! We are all sorts of salads and …

One of our members suggested this idea: Community Supplies Sharing. The site apparently allows one to set up a a community sharing site.

You may have noticed that logins and members-only pages are currently disabled on our website. Our web service supplier, BlueHost, warned us this month about a security issue in one of our plugin-applications. Unfortunately, the culprit is also the plugin that handles our membership directory and logins. No data security appears breached. The vendor has not yet repaired their plugin. We are working therefore on a solution which will bypass this vendor. But that will take about three months. In the meanwhile, if you need to change your address, email, or personal preferences, please write to me at DataManager@HiddenValleyTucson.com. Thanks, …

Ongoing Noise Concern & Neighborhood Courtesy Reminder We’ve received a concern from a resident on Amethyst Lane regarding a dog in the neighborhood (believed to be near N. Cheyenne Trail) that has been left outside barking for extended periods of time—sometimes for over an hour—on a frequent basis over the past few months. We understand that pets will bark occasionally, but prolonged, repetitive barking can be very disruptive for surrounding neighbors and may also indicate that the animal is in distress. As a friendly reminder to all residents:• Please be mindful of noise levels, especially with outdoor pets• Ensure your …
