NEW FEATURES

We have added three new features located in the left hand side column:

1) The Homeowners Association Corner --a regularly updated listing of concerns identified by our Board of Directors and/or by residents, and the follow-up responses. Check this often to keep up with what's happening in Chester Village Green!

2) An easy way to sign up to receive a free email notice each time a new item is posted here at The Chester Village Green News.

3) A button that allows you to chat about Chester Village Green matters with others who may be visiting the site at the same time. No limit to the number of "chatters" at the same time. Just click on the green arrow in the black box labeled, "cvgnews". You will then hear a short ad followed by word that others are/are not in the cvgnews chat room at the moment. Clicking the red square button (that replaced the green arrow after you clicked on it) will terminate your participation in the chat. Your computor must have a microphone (either built-in or external) and ear phones or built-in speakers, to use this feature.

Mark & Michelle Fowler will be opening a British/Welsh pub, possibly as early as September, in the Fountain Square building facing our Green, now under construction. Mark is Welsh. Inside, the pub will have a bar and a separate family-friendly restuarant.

CVG POLICE REPORTS: 2007, AND 2008 1ST QUARTER

For easier reading, you can enlarge the two police reports below by clicking on them.

The Police Dept. provides the following disclaimer for these statistics:
"We may not geographically define the complex identically to that [with] which you may be accustomed. Hence, there is no guarantee that all of these offenses occurred in the area you consider Chester Village Green. Also, please realize that the existence of an offense report does not necessarily indicate an arrest for that offense. Circumstances that initially required that an offense report be completed may have changed after the initial investigation."

WHERE, OH WHERE HAS OUR FOUNTAIN GONE???

Above, the fountain working normally.

Several weeks ago, the fountain in our Village pond stopped working. The fountain not only has aesthetic value, but also practical value. It helps aerate the water and stop the growth of algae.

Recently, repairs were started, but are now stalled, waiting for shipment of parts.

This photo shows the fountain pump awaiting parts.
