Many of you have asked why the NHHA Alerts stopped in mid-August. Our ISP changed something - we don't know what - and as a result we've been unable to communicate with you since August 18th. Despite submitting multiple trouble tickets, we're still no closer to a resolution.
Until the problem is solved, we'll post items on our website's home page.

I hope everyone's enjoying the mild July weather! :-) As of
this evening, I have a list of 15 homeowners who are listed as Block Captains;
our patrol wanted the list for Northwood Hills' first year participating in
National Night Out (Tuesday, August 2nd). Some of you have asked what
National Night Out's all about. Briefly, it's an organized way to have a
reason to meet and get acquainted with your neighbors. Many of us lead
hectic lives, yet don't even know the names of the people 2 houses away.
Getting to know our neighbors can also help decrease neighborhood crime,
because we'll know who belongs and who doesn't.
Example: if you know someone's on vacation, yet a strange car's in their
driveway, it could be cause to investigate. How to "celebrate" National
Night Out? Just dig o... 7 May 2005 Election Results -
According to the Dallas County Elections website, about 28% of us
voted in the recent election. The two big items were Proposition 1 (a/k/a the
Blackwood Charter Amendment) and the race for City Council District 11. For
districts 1812 and 1817:
Proposition 1 747 for, 356 opposed (68% for)

Citywide, Proposition 1 failed, and Linda Koop won the District 11 race.
... Forum re: Blackwood Amendment -
If you're unfamiliar: it's southwest of the Campbell Green Rec Center at Campbell/Hillcrest. This is west of the intersection of Meadowcreek and La Manga - about 2.5 miles north of us. If you haven't yet formed a strong opinion on this issue, I'd urge you to attend either this session, or one of the others being held around town. There's a list of other times/locations on If you're not already - get informed! If you cannot attend this session, there are two websites:
... City Charter Revision Meeting -
You are invited to the first public hearing to democratically
revise the city charter on Tuesday, February 22, 4:30 p.m. in the council
chambers at Dallas City Hall. This will be the first of a series of public
forums to put the charter review commission's recommendations back on the
table. Our goal is to develop and present the citizens of Dallas the
opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns about the future government
system of Dallas. This election would take place in November as a alternative
proposal to Beth Ann Blackwood's petition in May.
... Ask Cliff Brooks: Northwood Hills Greenway -
Q - Why isn't the Northwood Hills Greenway $90/household expense
covered in the NHHA dues? A- The Northwood Hills Greenway is for residents
in/around Elmridge only and isn't a project of the Northwood Hills Homeowners
Association, Inc.. We do make an annual contribution toward upkeep of that
median, but we do that for our other common medians, too (Meadowcreek @
Hillcrest, Meandering Way south of Beltline, etc.)

available on the DalCoElections.org website. Early voting ends at 7pm tonight;
on Election Day (Tuesday) you must go to your official precinct to vote.
... Magazine, book, soccer scammers -
A single report by one of our NHHA members has probably saved
others a lot of grief. Numerous older teenagers (17,18, etc.) have been going
door-to-door with a high-pressure pitch to buy various things - books,
magazines, even soccer trips. These kids are being exploited by a company
called UPSI (which has numerous aliases) and are being driven from city to city.
The scam is well documented on the Internet, and basically involves the kids
saying they live in the neighborhood and are earnings points for a Soccer Trip,
or something similar. They then try to sell you an overpriced magazine
subscription, but odds are you'll soon forget about your "donation"
and the cash went to these kids' route boss instead. Hey, it could be
legitimate, but based on the stuff on the web, I wouldn't take the risk.
... New volunteer opportunities -
We've updated the page on Volunteer Opportunities, for those of
you who have some spare time. One of the more unique ones is the COPS program
where you can help at the Dallas Police substation. The one that serves

miles north of us). To see the complete list, go to www.northwoodhills.org,

attend a 2004-2005 Budget Town Hall meeting tonight - Thursday, August 26 from
7-9pm at Fretz Park Recreation Center (6950 Belt Line Road @ Hillcrest).
... West Nile Virus update -
One of our Northwood Hills neighbors found a dead blue jay in her
yard, and called 311. But, no one from the City came to pick it up. Lesson
learned? The bird must have been dead NO MORE THAN 12 HOURS. We also learned
that the City has tested 70 birds this year, and eight were positive for West
Nile Virus. The best thing you can do is to remove all standing water from
your property (even areas as small as a teaspoon). And don't forget to check
rain gutters, too .. this can be an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.

I finally remember to change the CSS [Cascading Style Sheet] file
so that visited links now appear in a different color. The not-visited links
remain orange; visited links now appear in black. The non-visited status is
adjustable by the browser and is not controlled by our website.
... Yaupon Holly tree -
The Yaupon Holly tree at the eastbound Spring Valley Road marker
was damaged by the Plant Market and will be replaced at no charge by them.

to dynamically monitor the ozone levels. Today's the first Red Alert of the
year, so it's timely to add it to our home page.

The Friends of the Preston Ridge Trail will meet at the Campbell
Green Recreation Center at 8:15pm on Thursday, July 15 to discuss the

Independence Day with your neighbors.
... Update: RISD Homestead Exemption -
The RISD voted 6-1 to reduce the Local Optional Homestead Exemption

21 June 2004.

The City of Dallas has posted some good advice about mosquito
control on their website, under the banner of a new "Mosquito Swatter"
campaign. See the
website.
... Damaged Northwood Hills sign -
Someone in a Dodge Viper ran into our brick-and-concrete sign on
eastbound Spring Valley Road, east of Hillcrest, at about 1:30am on June 12,
2004. We'll get it repaired as soon as possible. No idea if the guy has any
insurance, but the Dallas Police did take a report.

Information on power outages, tree removal, spoiled meat,
restaurant sanitation, etc.

Notes client won't run with Vista UAC -
Now, this is just plain wrong. The two most recent versions of the Lotus Notes clients won't run when Vista User Account Control is enabled. This is despite the fact that IBM claims that Notes 8 is fully compatible with Vista. IBM recommends turning off UAC, which means you actually have to make your desktop less secure to run it.
Upon further investigation, it looks like nsd.exe is the actual component that doesn't work when UAC is enabled. I... A fun date: gun defense class - I'd signed up for a Krav Maga-based gun defense class at our martial arts school. It sounded like a fun way to spend an afternoon, and indeed it was-- all the more so because, at the last minute, Arlene decided to join me! Instead of a typical date, we spent four hours pointing training guns at each other, then taking them away with a variety of strikes, blocks, and pins. She was definitely better at most of the techniques than I was, as we found... Alexandria - This is the first time in a long time (like, nearly 15 years) that I've been to Alexandria twice in one year. We were there earlier this year for a great family reunion; this time, sad to say, I was visiting my seriously ill grandfather in the hospital. Despite the reason for the visit, it was great to see everyone-- Ray, Dan, Ashley, Melissa, Grandmaw, Betty, Clayton, Laura, and Chris were all there. Ashley is only a few months away from graduat...
