Summary of the September Board Meeting • Financial Report - HOA Dues have been submitted

from 233 homeowners as of September 1st which matches the HOA dues collection from this time last year. Eighty-nine of the HOA dues payments were submitted online through PayPal, making this a very effective form of payment. A total of 41 homeowners to date who have submitted more than the $75 per year amount for a total collected of $1575.

• Architectural/Covenant - There was one Architectural Control request this month for a new paver driveway on W. Vista View. There were no objections and the proposal was approved. There were four Covenant complaints - two for a RV and for a trailer parked in the driveway - a letter was sent to each. One for weeds and an overgrown lawn on S. Owens way - a letter was sent out and the homeowner agreed to clean up the yard. One for a storage unit placed such that it was blocking the corner stop sign. Storage unit owner stated that unit would be moved soon.

• Maintenance - Foothills has completed the Chaucer Park work. The grass in the park is looking great now. Will monitor dying pine tree but it looks like it will need to be removed.

• Website - The Calendar of Events is all up to date. The address for the HOA web site is (www.hoacanterbury.com).

• Welcoming and Real Estate - Home sales in Canterbury have been very strong this year and several new listings are on the market.

• New Business - The Board decided to add a second monthly date for Food Trucks so now they will be at Chaucer Park every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m., weather permitting. Also, the Board is considering adding a third dumpster for dumpster day which is scheduled for September 19th. A shredder has also been reserved for this event for homeowners who want to shred documents.

• Committee and Events - In October, the Halloween Event will consist two separate contests - one for dec-orated home and the other for the best carved pumpkin on the front porch.

• The Annual HOA meeting is scheduled for Chaucer Park at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday October 6th. The meeting is being held there in an outside venue for Covid con-cerns and is starting earlier than usual while conditions are still light outside. There are a couple of Board mem-bers who are leaving so there will be open positions on the Board.

Free Speech Week Oct. 19–25. A yearly event to raise public awareness of the importance of freedom of speech and of the press in our democracy, and to celebrate that freedom. Individuals, schools, and all types of organizations are encouraged to recognize and celebrate Free Speech Week.

Weekends on Main In partnership with the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association (HDLM), and thanks to generous grants from the Colorado Department of Transportation and a local foundation, Weekends on Main will continue every Friday at 5 p.m. to Saturday at 10 p.m. through the Halloween weekend. The concept was created to help restaurants obtain addi-tional seating outside to compensate for the seating lost inside due to social-distancing requirements. New for the fall edition of Weekends on Main will be more to see and hear including live music and artist demonstrations. Watch for more special surprises on this page, and on the HDLM website. Masks and social distancing are required in compliance with public health orders.Participating Restaurants • The Tavern • Palenque • McKinner’s Pizza Bar • Pho Real • Born2Bake • The ViewHouse Eatry, Bar & Rooftop • Smokin Fins • Jackass Hill Brewery • Grand Station

The Great Solstice Conjunction: Look Ahead To December The Great Conjunction is a rare arrangement of our largest planets, Saturn and Jupiter. They come so close together that they appear as one giant and brilliant celestial object. The Great Conjunction happens every 20 years and starts the decades. It’s been linked to great luck and terrible curses. This conjunction has been the source of folklore for centuries, as well as modern day stories and movies. In 2020, the Great Conjunction will be a true phenomenon. The large planets will appear closer than they have since before 1000 AD, and it won’t happen again until the year 7541.To say it’s a rarity is an understatement, and this very special year, it also happens on the winter solstice. Join us in our riverside open space after sunset to view these two planets become one on a truly historic night. Campfire, storyteller, telescope viewing and refreshments included. No pets or tobacco. Household rates is for 2 adults and up to 3 youths at the same address. Under 16 must be with registered adult. When using family rate, make sure to select “Family Rate” for one individual, then add rest of family at “Family Member” rate.

The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear—fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable.

What he wants above everything else is safety. —H.L. Mencken

Keep Your Family Healthy At Home Trying to keep your family in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic is more than a matter of washing hands and wearing face masks, important as those are. Here are some tips from the India.com website for maintaining a healthy lifestyle while hunkered down at home: • Stay away from junk food. Binging on cookies

and other snacks may feel comforting during times of stress, but unnecessary calories will lead to other problems in children and adults alike—obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension, and the like. Make sure you have plenty of fruits and vegetables and low-calorie snacks to avoid the urge to overindulge.

• Keep track of screen time. If they can’t go to school every day, chances are your kids will spend more time in front of the TV, computer, and other devices like tablets and phones. This can lead to headaches, poor eyes, insomnia, and other prob-lems. Set rules for screen time, and provide oppor-tunities for different kinds of play—board games, puzzles, and “field trips” to your own backyard.

• Maintain a healthy sleeping routine. Good sleep is essential to good health. Put your children to bed at a reasonable hour every night, and don’t let them oversleep just because they aren’t going to school that day. Make sure they put down their gadgets for a while before going to bed to help them get to sleep and stay asleep.

Empathy Rises In Face Of The Pandemic Working from home presents employees with many struggles, from child care to virtual meeting fatigue. But it has a few upsides, according to a report from Microsoft. Among them: increased empathy for colleagues working from home. Overall, 62% of 2,000 remote workers in six countries surveyed by Microsoft reported feeling more empathetic to their co-workers now that they have a better idea of what WFH is like. The response was highest in China, with 91% reporting high empathy, followed by Mexico (65%), the U.S. (61%), Italy (54%), the U.K. (51%), and Germany.

Changing Trends In The Workforce Thanks To Covid-19 The shape of work is changing in the midst of the continu-ing coronavirus outbreak. It’s not likely to change back soon, either—if ever. Here’s what the Entrepreneur magazine web-site predicts for the future of work: • Remote work will take hold. Organizations are rec-

ognizing that much of the work employees perform doesn’t have to happen in the office. This can poten-tially save some expense on office space rental while allowing greater flexibility in managing the workflow. It also gives employees an opportunity for better work/life balance, as long as they don’t let work overwhelm their home life.

• Technology will be more omnipresent. The digital rev-olution has already transformed how work is done in many ways. Expect that to continue, as virtual meeting apps like Zoom replace many in-person meetings, more events are held virtually, the ability to share work online becomes more seamless, and everyone gets more com-fortable using technology to get things done.

• Millennials will grow in influence. The younger gen-eration that’s grown up with smartphones and tablets are already savvy with the new tools that are available. Older workers will have to educate themselves on what’s new and what’s next, or risk getting left behind. Employers will have to understand that millennials place a high value on flexibility and work/life balance, and they’ll have to accommodate those values if they want to hang onto valuable talent.

• The workforce will be more scalable. Employers will be looking for ways to manage the size of their workforce more efficiently. They may rely more on contract work-ers and short-term assignments, and workers will have to adjust to a “gig” economy to stay useful.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty

because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.

—Steve Jobs

Snowball Approach To Debt Many of us are dealing with staggering debt these days, but that doesn’t mean you should just give up. On the Kare11 website, financial advisor Justin Halverson of Great Waters Financial tells how to take control of your debt instead of drowning under it. It’s called the snowball method: “Start by organizing your debts to determine your lowest balance,” Halverson says. “Make the minimum payment on your other debts and use any extra money to pay off your smallest debt. Then pay off your next smallest debt. Like a snowball rolling down a hill, you will build momentum to tackle your debts until they are paid in full.”
