Harry Flagle, Country & Western Songwriter and Recording Artist, has written and recorded a song about his terrible Las Vegas HOA/Condo Board experiences. 

This song may strike a resonant chord in the minds of many Sun City Anthem homeowners who hate the way SCA Directors and their attorneys treat our homeowners.

Here is the music clip of the recording by Harry Flagle, “One Way Ticket to Hell”.
1-way-ticket-2-hell

And, here are the words:

Bright lights and lots’ a people ….. .Pretty women everywhere

I gamble till my heart’s content….. .Win..loose..it’s all the same

Bought A Condo run by CCRs…. ..Life’s over…I’m fair game

(Chorus)

Those petty rules and regulations ….  …It’s enough to make you cry

No statues, ponds or Christmas trees … …And no one knows just why

Slick manager and lawyers …..  .Slither close, but they won’t tell

If your condo’s in Las Vegas …..  .You bought a one way ticket to Hell

Now there’s lots of open meetings. ….. Closed to “Justice For H.O.”

Those arrogant board members… …Say what they want you to know

The NARC and CAI conspire …… To help you lose it all

But, I wouldn’t sell my condo yet ….. .The writing’s on the wall

(Chorus)

Well, we’re not afraid or stupid ….. .All your threats mean nothing here

Time marches on…you’ll soon be gone .. ….”United”…we’ll be there

So!  put your rules and CCR’s .. ….Up where the sun don’t shine

Just enjoy your precious “Golden Years” ….. .Stop messing round with mine!

(Repeat Chorus)

The Anthem Journal’s owner has politically attacked me for sticking up for the owner of the AnthemToday.  The piece is found at this link:
http://anthemjournal.typepad.com/davids_anthem_journal/2010/12/the-latest-bob-frank-flight-of-fancy.html

In response, I have filed a formal complaint form with the SCA Board of Directors via the new web site.  I have attached my contents for your convenience since the Board has never answered any of my previous questions, it is unlikely to change the policy of “we have to let THEM comment, but we don’t have to listen.”  Feel free to use any of my below words or ideas in your own messages to the board.  Ask any attorney you know.  It is not a trivial mistake for Director Ann Small to participate in such a project.

“Former Board VP and spouse of Director/VP Roz Berman has stated on his web site:
‘Mr. Frank is apparently unaware that there is no longer an Editorial Content Committee, nor has any similar function yet to be established, if indeed it ever will be, within the recently formed Communications Committee.’

While I had heard that the ECC had been merged into the Communications Committee, I have not seen such a major decision being officially notified to all unit owners.  Is it true that all of the ECC policies and procedures had been terminated with no replacement of similar or same policies and procedures planned for the future?

Please advise if “Appendix B Standards of Acceptability” has been terminated without planned replacement in 2011?  If so, the Board and CAM have failed to under NRS requirements and the RMI contract to notify all unit owners of such major changes in community governing rules.

Also, I have commented on Anthem VOICE that it appears to me that Director/Attorney Ann Small has violated her fiduciary duty to association shareholders by allowing her name to be used in support of Mr. Berman’s political letter to the City of Henderson against Ms. Goodman.  In my opinion, allowing her name to be used on such a political attack piece to the City of Henderson, her former employer, crates a litigation risk to the Association that can not be justified under the BJR.

Please advise. After the major mistakes made by the Directors and CAM, and particularly those of your active member of the NV Bar, Ann Small, who never caught the association attorney’s major legal errors on the charges and hearing procedures during the recent McCullough case, people are wondering if the board and CAM are receiving COMPETENT advice?

It is well known that creating litigation risks for the board are clear examples of director violations of fiduciary duty.  I believe Mr. Berman’s letter is an example of opening a significant litigation risk to the Board since Director/Attorney Small has put her reputation with the City behind the questionable credibility of the letter.  Otherwise, it would be just a letter from a few disgruntled old people.

Who is looking out for the good of SCA, and why has Director Small failed to notify the City of Henderson that her name was falsely or incorrectly included as a sponsor on Mr. Berman’s political attack letter against Rana Goodman to the City Council?”

 (The following article has been updated as of 9:40 PM on December 18, 2010.)

As found on Anthem Today and Anthem Journal, the following political hate mail is quoted and shown to be a potential violation of Sun City Anthem Governing Documents.  It is to Henderson Mayor Hafen and other City Council members, and drafted by former Director/Attorney David Berman, Current Director/Attorney Ann Small and about a dozen other hateful old people as listed below.

We are wondering if the Directors who falsely charged and illegally punished a SCA member recently for daring to question their financial management will also move to punish members of their own board for violations of the SCA governing rules and failing their fiduciary duty?

In the past, there have been some really hateful and all-round dirty political tricks played on some of our Sun City Anthem seniors by the members of this group, but this one is perhaps the most outrageously bogus action in some time.

“November 30, 2010

Dear Mayor and Councilors:

The undersigned signatories are all residents of Sun City Anthem (SCA), and the purpose of this letter is to express our concerns over what we believe to be unacceptable behavior by fellow SCA resident Rana Goodman, an appointed member of the Henderson Senior Citizens Advisory Commission.

Ms. Goodman owns and publishes one of several online blogs/forums that serve our SCA community. Her blog is titled Anthem Today, and its Internet address is www.anthemtoday.com. As the owner and publisher of this communication channel, Ms. Goodman holds ultimate responsibility for the content posted on her publication, including the authority to remove or delete offensive or inappropriate material.

In a community such as ours, with 7,144 homes and about 13,000 residents, it is inevitable that differences of opinion will arise over the policies and decisions of our elected HOA leaders. Most of our residents are fully capable of expressing their differences in a respectful, responsible manner, and they demonstrate this capability when they have strong opinions to share with our elected leaders and their fellow residents.

As is their right, Ms. Goodman and the vast majority of those posting to her blog are quite vigorous in opposing SCA management and operational decisions. This is an ongoing expression of their collective freedom of speech, and they are breaking no laws in doing so.

But Ms. Goodman has recently allowed articles to be posted on her blog which are so extreme as to anger a wide segment of SCA, especially those of the Jewish faith but also many of other faiths. Specifically: She permitted an article to be published which, in expressing disagreement over the temporary suspension of our SCA community website message board until a method of moderating the messages can be devised, compared our Board of Directors’ action to the murder of millions by Adolf Hitler in The Holocaust. The article was illustrated with a cartoon showing Nazi soldiers beating Jews in the street and two photographs of concentration-camp prisoners.

Several residents who lost family members in The Holocaust were among those who were outraged by the article.

After a firestorm of protests ensued, with Ms. Goodman refusing to remove the offending article, the writer of the article removed the images and instead changed the slant of his writing to compare our Board’s actions to McCarthyism, illustrating the revised article with several images from the McCarthy era.

Ms. Goodman did not write the offending articles, but she has, on a continuing basis, tolerated these types of written attacks which diminish the level of discourse in our community and refer to community leaders and residents who disagree with her viewpoints on many issues in the most vile and near-defamatory terms.

You might ask why we are putting our names on this letter to you (reverse side). It is not a petition, and we are not asking that Ms. Goodman be removed from her volunteer position on the Senior Citizens Advisory Commission. Rather, we want to put ourselves on record as believing that as a member of a body that is supposed to be sensitive to the issues and concerns of Henderson’s senior citizens, her tolerance of such divisive behavior is not sending the right message about what our wonderful city and its dedicated volunteers and elected leaders stand for.”

Signed by:
1.   David A. Berman (former SCA Vice President and former MA attorney)
2.   Ann Small (SCA Director & Secretary, Member of NV Bar, Former member of Henderson City Attorney
staff, Former Henderson Judge Pro Tem, Former Nurse)
3.   Michael Wolf (Former NY attorney)
4.   Gerrie Katz-Wolf (Former member SCA Web Site Committee and member,
SCA Communications Committee)
5.   Robert Sansing (Former SCA Director and Former President, SCA Current Events Club)

11. Elaine Izaks
12. Paul Fogelson
13. Deborah Fogelson (Has since demanded her name be removed–had not approved the letter as claimed)

 AV COMMENTS:

Lawyer/Director/Board Secretary Ann Small, Former Attorneys Wolf and Berman, former Directors Berman and Sansing,  Former Finance Committee member Murphy and (especially) Communications Committee Member Gerrie Katz-Wolf know that such an obviously political and potentially defamatory letter can not be sent to the Henderson City Council without being reviewed by the Communications Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.

Why is it NOT considered an item of free speech by the signatories to the City Council?  Because Board Secretary/NV Attorney Ann Small is a CURRENT  Director and the others with relevant expertise are not free to ignore the SCA governing documents .  They have a lawful, fiduciary duty to the Association that governs every act they take as long as they are serving as a SCA Director.

Since this letter could be considered highly damaging to the community’s reputation with the City, as well as to Rana Goodman, active participation by Director/Attorney Ann Small might be judged violations of NRS 116.3103.1 on fiduciary duty, the NV Bar Association Code of Ethics, and NRS sections on defamation.

Also, Communications Committee Member Gerrie Katz-Wolf should not be allowed to ignore that SHE KNOWS such types of PUBLIC communications to government officials containing multiple personal endorsements by current directors and standing committee members MUST be reviewed by the new Communications Committee–before it is released.  And, she knows the letter would have failed to get official approval by the CC and the Board.  So, why did she participate if not to play dirty political tricks and to try to hurt Rana Goodman’s reputation in the City?

Director-Secretary/Attorney Small is REQUIRED by Statutes and Bar Ethics Codes concerning fiduciary duties to ENSURE that anything going to any government or other official organization with her name, or any other current director’s name, is properly reviewed before being released.

Board Secretary Small knows that she is required to ensure that the “Editorial Content Committee (ECC) Standards” are used to review everything citing sponsorship by Directors (regardless of whether their titles are used or not).  Although the ECC has been merged into a new “Communications Committee”, nothing has been said about declaring the SCA communications Standards of Acceptability have been revolked.  Those standards are:

“STANDARDS OF ACCEPTABILITY
1. Communications shall serve the good of the Sun City Anthem community as a whole, by
promoting the community lifestyle and fostering a sense of community.
2. Information shall be disseminated in a variety of media formats in order to reach all
residents and support their pursuance of independent living within the Sun City Anthem
community.
3. Priority shall be given to items of significant interest to a majority of the community.
4. With the exception of breaking and emergency news, all media shall be produced
according to a predetermined production schedule.
5. Clear visual/verbal presentations and/or readability are essential for all communications.
All material shall be professional, including quality sound, lighting and editing for video.
6. All material shall he accurate, and all sources shall he attributable. Accuracy shall be
established, fact shall be distinguished from rumor, and content shall not be colored by
personal opinion.
7. The media shall conform to the Association’s legal documents and to the policies of
SCACAI Board of Directors. The Board retains the option of final review.
8. No libelous, defamatory, inflammatory, or insulting material shall be used.
9. No obscene material shall be used.
10. No vulgar or offensive language shall be used.
11. Material shall not be presented in an adverse or antagonistic manner.
12. The media shall not be used to express religious or political views with exception of
issues approved by the SCACAI Board of Directors and official SCACAI elections for
which equal time and/or space will be provided each candidate.
13. Legitimate controversies of interest to all residents shall be reported objectively in a balanced pro/con format. Scripts, video and sound bytes shall be fair and balanced.
14. All advertising shall be informative, targeted and representative of Sun City Anthem’s
uniqueness.”

A review of the letter shows it flagrantly violated a number of the SCA rules and it deserves to be asked,

Why was this violation allowed by the informed directors, former directors and members mentioned?

What sanctions for the involved director and current standing committee members should be recommended?

Should SCA Members ask Ann Small and Gerri Katz-Wolf to resign?

Should SCA members who truly care about Rana Goodman’s good name and those of others who have been defamed by this group write to the Mayor and City Council and expose the long record of hateful behavior by certain signers of that letter?   Although the City Council is probably smart enough to recognize the defamatory intent of the letter, such a bogus letter should not be allowed to stand without being corrected–or get ready to see many more like it in the future.

By the way:

1.  Why were the names of Lanie and Joel Berg missing on the letter?   They were the ones most outraged at the board meeting and subsequently expressing hurt feelings at the original blog post.  Maybe this David Berman letter was just too disgusting for even their tastes?

2.  Why would SCA Director, Board Secretary, and NV Attorney (and former Henderson Assistant City Attorney and Henderson Judge Pro Tem) allow her name to be placed on that political attack letter if not to try to defame and seriously damage the reputation of Rana Goodman with the Henderson City Council–her former employer?  Imagine Ann Small trying to claim in front of a judge that she never thought of that aspect of the letter?

(FBI) “Elite Unit Running HOA Fraud Investigation” by Jeff German.  
FBI Investigation of HOA Fraud
http://www.lvrj.com/news/elite-unit-running-hoa-fraud-investigation-111656164.html

Sun City Anthem’s 2010 board election has been under formal investigation since May 2010
by the Nevada Real Estate Division’s Compliance Section.  More than 600 pages of evidence
was submitted to support the 27+ allegations of law violations in 2010.  The original
Anthem VOICE report on statute violations during the 2010 election is at the following link.

http://www.anthemtoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1736

Status:  The SCA Board has refused to respond to any of the reported law violations, and no
significant changes were made to the Election Manual and/or policies and procedures since 2009.
At the November 2010 Board Meeting, SCA President Troia made it clear no responses to the
confirmed allegations were planned, and said that the were proceeding with using the discredited
Ballot Box company again.

Meanwhile, the State of Nevada’s formal investigation into alleged election fraud
and abuse at Sun City Anthem is proceeding.  Those who have recently submitted Intervention
Affidavits to the Real Estate Division know that such an investigation would not be opened unless
there was solid evidence to justify the effort.

With SCA’s 2011 election about to start in January, with the State having an open investigation, with the IRS audit of SCA tax returns, and with the FBI publicizing its investigation into LV HOA board election fraud (in an obvious move to gather more
information), one would think the board and its Unity Political Party sponsors would consider
abandoning its stonewalling approach to unit owner/shareholder concerns over the 2010 failure
to have fair and open elections.

Directors are individually/personally liable for honoring their fiduciary duties to unit
owners/shareholders.  When it comes to ensuring open and fair board elections, directors
can not get away with trying to use the “Business Judgment Rule” to justify failures to act to prevent election fraud and abuse by what appears to be a corrupt political party machine.

The FBI’s investigation is heading towards exposing many fradulent activities by LV HOAs. It is not too late for the SCA Directors to do the honorable things and move to correct the past election violations.  Every statute violation will be reported daily during the 2011 election  and not held to the end of the campaign.

TWIMC,

We own an Arlington (2337 sq.ft.) with dual York HVAC units.
They are in need of a fall checkup before winter sets in.
Does anyone have any experience with a reputable company?

Anthem Today Blog is featuring a topic named “Sun City Anthem Named to HOA Hall of Shame–Again”.  See this link:
http://www.anthemtoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2335

The “Hall of Shame” web site is located at this link:
http://hoaadvocate.homestead.com/index.html

Readers should review the topic and comments on Anthem Today, and then consider the following:

———–

The key issue on this case is “how do the fence extensions LOOK, from a neighborhood perspective?” The purpose of our ARC governing rules is to try to ensure our community stays looking “good”, and that should be the bottom line for such disputes.

If it is true that a dozen neighbors in the near vicinity do not object to the way the fence extensions look on both sides of her home, and if there are other examples of similar fence extensions elsewhere in SCA, a variance should have been granted by the ARC and Board to the homeowner.  No hassles for the member, and no fines would be appropriate.

It occasionally happens that someone on the ARC,  RMI staff or Board gets annoyed at a homeowner because they do not dot the i’s and cross the t’s perfectly, and they want to punish them for doing something “without full permission”.

It is the board’s “fiduciary duty” to this community’s shareholders to help them solve problems–even when the individual is mistaken or difficult to deal with.  Fiduciary Duty has nothing to do with “the corporation”–it is about the people who are the “shareholders” of the corporation.

This case  sounds like the “Directors” (not “the board”) who are individually charged with personal, fiduciary duties, are violating the Nevada Statutes, and they could be creating a serious SCA litigation risk (and possibly personal liability) for their misconduct.

If there are attorneys in our midst (particularly Ms. Small and Mr. Gardner who are serving as Directors) who agree or disagree with my conclusion, it would be good to see it in writing. We all want to be saying the right things about the laws and fiduciary duties.

Those Directors trained in the law are most likely to be personally challenged to explain their actions–before this is over.  As Ms. Small has proclaimed at board meetings before, she has special/higher  responsibilities  to the community because of being a member of the Nevada Bar.  Our community should expect the SCA directors to resolve this dispute or explain (without compromising privacy) why the SCA rules are being fairly and equally applied in this case.

SCAVIEW Web Site by Ron Johnson has published a spoof about a purported early draft version of Mr. David Berman’s letter to Major Hafen and other Henderson officials complaining about Ms. Rana Goodman’s personal behavior.

Mr. Berman has complained about being the subject of such political humor, but since he enjoys writing political pieces about many other members, he should know how to take it, as well as to dish it out.  Of course, since Mr. Berman has not published his actual letter to Mayor Hafen complaining about Rana Goodman, he is likely to enjoy more of such humorous guessing on what he might have said.  Since it was an official letter to a City Official and can be released, Mr. Berman would be wise to publish his signed opinions before the secret letter is leaked.

Ron Johnson’s text is quoted for our reader’s convenience from the following site:
http://www.scaview.org/EarlyDraft.html

“A secial thanks to those émigré former Iranian Muslim Student Followers who occupied the U.S. Embassy in Tehran
in 1979, and who had prior experience in reconstructing and publishing shredded documents, for submitting to The SCA View
what was purported to have been an early draft of David Berman’s letter to the City of Henderson regarding the suitability of
Rana Goodman as a member of the Senior Citizens Advisory Commission.  Now in their 50s, let’s hope they got it right.

Andy A. Hafen, Mayor
City of Henderson
Henderson City Hall
P.O. Box 95050
Henderson, NV 89009-5050
Re: Senior Citizens Advisory Board Membership

Dear Mayor Hafen:

I am writing to question the suitability of Rana Goodman as a member of the Senior Citizens
Advisory Commission.

But before I begin, you should understand that I’m a troubled man, as you will readily discern.
But never mind. Since coming to Sun City Anthem, I’m doing my utmost to atone for my shortcomings by
engaging in good deeds and services, with my ultimate redemption surely on the horizon. Sadly my
history, past and present, has hindered my progress towards that end.

Although not the largest, I am unabashedly Sun City Anthem’s eminent blog chronicler. Those
efforts have proven to be admittedly selective by necessity in order to redeem my somewhat tarnished
image as well as to promote the actions of the board in a positive way, where, by the way, my wife is an
officer. Sadly, that positive image has been frequently under attack by less informed community
bloggers. Despite these obvious limitations on my efforts, I believe I am able to discern the presence of
good and evil in the community, which brings me to why I am writing to you.

You see, there are evil forces in the community that are keen to find fault where no fault exists,
either with me or with the board. Allegations against the board of mismanagement, financial corruption
along with alleged unjust decisions continue to persist from various community sources. Of course, such
complaints are baseless, have no merit and serve only to divide the community that only I truly serve.
Yes, sadly, it’s true that as an attorney, I committed what in some jurisdictions has been
prosecuted as a felony. Thank God I was able to avoid that fate in this instance. In 1991, the
Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers of the Supreme Judicial Court found me guilty and recommended
disciplinary action for forging a judge’s signature and fabricating certain legal documents in a case
involving the sale of estate property that I had handled 13 years after being admitted to the bar.

Acting on their recommendations, that Court subsequently suspended my license to practice
law. But that was a long time ago, well, only about 10 years before moving to Nevada. Unfortunately,
there are despicable homeowners who feel it’s their duty to post reminders of my past misdeeds, as if
those prior bad acts, actually only mistakes in judgment, matter now.

1

Never mind, as I can now bless those remedies available under the legal system that allows me
to sue those who I believe have defamed my good name and reputation. While some charges in my
current lawsuit against one such homeowner, a Christian do-gooder who volunteers at a soup kitchen,
have been dismissed by the judge, a defamation charge is hopefully proceeding to trial where I assume I
will be vindicated and my good reputation in the eyes of the community will be restored.

Fortunately a cadre of loyal blog subscribers is constantly telling me how great I am and how I
enrich their lives, which acts I feel obligated to share with all of my blog subscribers. However, some
community naysayers detest me for reasons I do not understand, although such intensity might be due
to my well known and occasional public tantrums during which I have been overheard verbally abusing
and assaulting the character of a few no doubt less worthy homeowners.

Least I forget, I am enriched by my past service as a Sun City Anthem Board member.
Understandably, I had to resign from that elected position in a tiff when I felt that I couldn’t adjust to
how board decisions were being made. Simply stated, the board didn’t deserve to have me as a
member. It was clear that my presence on the board did not contribute to creating a worthwhile
consensus. How could I serve the community if my views were being undermined by others on the
board?

With this helpful background in mind, you need to understand why I am seeking to undermine
the efforts of one fellow community blog publisher, that protagonist bitch Rana Goodman. Rana
Goodman, besides devoting her bloging efforts to criticizing and calling unwanted attention to actions of
the board she disapproved of, also happens to be a member of the City’s Senior Citizens Advisory
Commission. As a major blogging competitor, Rana Goodman had the audacity to allow the presence of
most any comment, rant, error-filled content, and just plain muck on her blog. I of course am careful to
censor all postings to my blog to assure that they conform to my standards of conduct, including, I’m
proud to say, prohibiting comments by fellow community bloggers who might wish to offer a different
point of view. Fortunately, I am willing to protect my subscribers from reading alternative opinions and
those I deem inappropriate. I’m confident my subscribers appreciate that.

A recent posting on Goodman’s blog by a contributing editor was blatantly offensive to my
people, which I feel obligated to defend. In an article on free speech, the author offered images
depicting WWII Gestapo actions against Jews and other minorities that limited free speech, ultimately
resulting in egregious harm and death to millions. Ostensibly, that article attempted to draw a parallel
between their actions over seventy years ago and how the board is allegedly trampling over the rights of
homeowners today.

In the case of the association’s own community blog, a target of the author’s article given the
board’s recent decision to drop that popular blogging feature from their website, I believe freedom of
speech by homeowners has its limits. As an ardent supporter of vigilant censorship, I deplore those
other Sun City Anthem blog publishers who allow homeowners unfettered access to freely comment on
their blogs. I know of no greater travesty!

2

The fact that Rana Goodman had allowed such images to be posted on her blog demonstrates
her lack of judgment, thereby raising a question of her suitability as a fair and impartial member on the
City’s Senior Citizens Advisory Commission. I hope you agree.

You can trust me to keep you informed of similar egregious efforts on Ms. Goodman’s part.

Sincerely,

David Berman
