Community News Briefs
A tree fell across Hickory Forest Road Thursday evening blocking the roadway until a
team of resident volunteers including Frank Coney, Joe Mason, and Rob Greene
used their chainsaws to clear the tree from the road.
• Short-term Parking — FFHA regulations limit parking in the area next to the mail center to a day or so. The area is not intended for long-term parking or vehicle storage. The parking area is intended for the following uses only: Clubhouse attendee parking, property owner guest parking, transfer truck work area, construction equipment storage (short-term, such as a day or two), FFHA vendor vehicle and equipment storage area, and winter bad weather parking area. Recent disregard of the parking regulations have resulted in complaints to the board regarding the situation.
• Fire Danger — Residents are reminded to be aware of potential fire danger periods during the winter and spring months. The Restrictive Covenants (Section 8.6) address open burning in the community: "No property owner or property owner's guest, tenant, vendor or contractor shall burn any material, in the open or in a burn barrel, in Fairview Forest..."
• Property Rentals — Property owners who offer their houses for vacation or long-term rentals are reminded to provide their renters with information regarding the community. Make sure renters know about the website and have access to the covenants and regulations.

Mountain Resident Made Military History in Iraq
The war in Iraq is officially over, but it's still never far from Stacie Litsenberger's mind. Before the Fairview Forest resident retired from the Army in 2010 as a major, she was deployed three times in combat zones. As commander of a medical detachment unit in Iraq, she made military history by being the first to use skilled therapy dogs to help troops battle stress.

Address Changes, New Property Owners
Property owners are asked to email FFHA if they have not received recent newsletters or if the address information was not correct. Often, property owners who do not live in the community forget to advise the Association of address changes and therefore do not receive information and mailings regarding Fairview Forest. Be sure to send an email with any new mailing address information.
And, if you're a new property owner, let us hear from you with an email so we can add you to the database and mailing list.
