UPDATE: The cat has found adoptive home in the neighborhood. A Warbler Way resident who fosters kittens for the Humane Society has added the lost animal to her family of cats. The young cat will live in comfort in a dedicated cat room, complete with a cat door. PREVIOUSLY REPORTED: Late in November, a young female ragdoll cat showed up at the backdoor of a resident in the 8000 block of Teel Way. The cat has been spayed, and its front claws have been removed. She is somewhat thin, but her coat looks healthy. If you are the owner or know someone who is missing a similar cat, contact former Eagle Nest President Harry Riebe at t-r@sbcglobal.net. The Riebes are feeding the cat, of course, and would appreciate Eagle Nest's help in finding the pet's proper home.

On Nov. 24 about 8 p.m., residents in the 7300 block of Hague Road said three men identifying themselves as police officers pounded on the front door and then forced their way into the house. They tied up the occupants, ransacked the house and made off with a cell phone, a wallet and about $2,000 from a lock box. The residents claimed the intruders had stitched police jackets, a police hat, a walkie talkie and a pager, and went from room to room, yelling "clear, clear, clear" and asking, "where's the safe?" The intruders ransacked the master bedroom, pulled out drawers, flipped things over and emptied the closet. Eventually one of the residents was able to free herself enough to call 911 and report the incident. The intruders took off after a friend appeared at the home unannounced. Police have no suspects, and there were no injuries. Click here for a link to a WTHR (Channel 13) report

Fellow residents, We have a new interim Board member -- Michael Jackson (Lot 353), of 7712 White Dove Drive. Michael's addition comes after Director Ben Smith resigned last month, citing growing family and work obligations. We thank Ben for his service, of course, particularly his guidance on zoning/construction issues relative to our various Clubhouse improvements and his efforts in helping to enforce our controlling documents.  Michael attended last month's Board meeting, where he shared his background and then was voted in on an interim basis. His interim term will expire in June 2016, and his seat will be among four up for re-election. Michael has lived in the neighborhood for 15 years and has three boys, ranging from grade school to high school. A native of North Carolina, Michael earned his MBA from Butler in 2006 and currently works as a marketing director in downtown Indianapolis. Michael's contact information is listed under "Contacts" in
