MANAGERS CORNER
Heard the one about why is the spa closed and when will it open? Here is the story.. It appears that when the spa was renovated about three years ago, Management took the initiative to seek to determine what new legal changes were in the wind for your safety and made the changes before they were law. The specific law being referred to is the Virginia Grahame Baker Law. This law was instituted as a result of an individual getting held down in a spa / wading pool by the pump suction from the bottom drain. The management of Spanish Ranch fulfilled the requirements of this law before it was even a law with the assistance of the County of Alameda Department of Environmental Health and submitted the proper paperwork that was required at that time. Fast forward two years and six months later, the required paper work was changed, and the paperwork submitted by Spanish Ranch was unavailable in the Countys files. The spa is now open and the good news is that while the spa was closed the management of Spanish Ranch installed a new high efficiency filter and pump. The filter is a diatomaceous earth filter replacing the old style sand filter. This new filter will filter materials down to less than six microns in size (much smaller than is visible to the human eye). A micron is one millionth of a meter in size. School is back in session. Please use the upmost caution when driving with the children going to and from school. Parking continues to be a challenge here in the park. On street parking and resident parking in visitor parking areas is an area of concern. Please be aware that on street parking is ONLY allowed when loading and unloading passengers and freight into your home. Visitor parking is for VISITORS ONLY and not for your second, third or fourth vehicle. Visitor parking is NOT for your commercial vehicle that you use for work. Your attention to these parking issues is greatly appreciated. Remember, the Rules and Regulations of Spanish Ranch dictate that pets are to be in-house pets and that if they are out of doors, the animal MUST be on a leash. Any enclosures that may be used for the purpose to leave your pet out of doors unattended are not allowed. In order to help us help you, please enclose your check or money order WITH your payment stub that has your name, address and space number. We are seeing more checks and money orders simply dropped into the office mail slot with no identification at all. THANKS!! Emergency TIP: In the event of an area wide catastrophic loss of water pressure, remember, you can use your water heater water for drinking, washing and flushing toilets. There are a few things to keep in mind if this occurs: 1. Turn off or turn down the thermostat to the vacation setting 2. If there is no water pressure for an extended period of time, go to the top of your water heater and close the inlet valve supplying fresh cold water to your hot water heater. This will prevent the possibility of water from being siphoned back into the main line and emptying your hot water heater. The cold water fill pipe extends all the way to the bottom of the tank when it fills. Remember: in the event of a major loss of water pressure that is area wide, the club house pool will be a good source of water for washing and flushing of toilets. Club House Reservations: Remember, we normally are booked up about six to ten weeks in advance. Also, Bingo is generally using the large clubhouse the first Saturday and the last Saturday of each month. If it is your desire to use the BBQ area for a BBQ, you must reserve that area just as if you were reserving the club house. Guillermos Corner: Guillermo is busy working around the small club house rebuilding the damaged awning. Trash and graffiti continues to occupy a great deal of Guillermos time during the morning hours. Guillermo says keep those reports about the non-operational street lights coming. It takes a while to troubleshoot and order parts, but little by little he is getting the list smaller. Cigarette butts around the club house and in the car wash areas are getting to be a real pain. Please pick up your butts and dispose of them properly. Jeff Stoops, Asst SR1 Manager

You cant miss Ruus Park right outside our front entrance, (and if you havent noticed it, then just follow the next white heron you see flying north). But the park pictured below, Stratford Village Park, isnt so obvious, and its also practically next door. Surrounded by expanses of lawn are skateboard ramps, a baseketball hoop and a large playground complete with various climbing structures Its accessible either from Stratford (the street next to Starbucks) or through the neighborhood from the path along the creek.
Rain cancels
We had to skip the August cleanup because all the regulars were on vacation, so well have some catching up to do. Besides picking up the drink cups, fast-food wrappers, plastic bags, bottles and general junk, willing graffiti painter-outers are needed to paint out the tags. If interested in helping, just show up! If you need information, or directions, e-mail Dawn at kdplaskon@gmail.com.

NOTICE
We want to thank Officer Carpenter, (he was at National Night Out) for all of his work with Neighborhood Watch. He has been reassigned to another area of Hayward. Officer Carpenter was working with Management to see if he could get them to work with Neighborhood Watch.
Treasurers Report:
Treasurer Peggy Nichols reported no change in her report from the last meeting. A check was made out to Judy Allen-Rodgers for the total amount of $40.00 to cover the cost of flyer copies for the Crafts Fair. Dawn Plaskon okayed and signed off for it.
Halloween Party:
The Halloween Party will be on Saturday, October the 29, unless changed. It will be in the main clubhouse and Stacia Higman, Kathi Calvert, and Pat Smith will be in charge of it. We could use volunteers for setting up, decorating and clean-up. Contact Stacia if you are interested in helping. [Ed note: this event is a no-go as of press time.]
Crafts Fair
Flyers have been distributed to residents about the Crafts Fair in November, with another reminder flyer in midOctober. Dawn will contact the PennySaver paper for an ad. Jeanie has posted the information in the September El Toro, as well. As of this date, Patty Little has received money for 10 tables, with more people reserving tables. We will need volunteers to help set up on Friday, November 11, and early on Saturday, November 12. We will have someone monitor the clubhouse Friday night and make sure it is locked up for those vendors that want to set up their tables that night. Barbara Sacks and Clint Dean might be able to volunteer for this. We will be doing a raffle at the Crafts Fair for a Gift Basket, made up by members of the Association. The
Spectrum Meals:
As of now, the Spectrum Meal Program has been cancelled due to lack of volunteers. The person in charge, Tara has not returned Denises phone calls, so with no forward momentum on this, the program has been cancelled. It is a real shame, as this is a most worthwhile program for seniors and others in the park. There was no other issues and the meeting was adjourned at 8:05 pm. Respectfully submitted, Judy Allen-Rodgers in the absence of the secretary
