An Open Letter To Residents of Heritage and Heritage Trails
Monday April 18, 2005, Heritage Residents Association had their yearly election of officers. Carl Maus, the past president and also the president of Citizens for Responsible Community, ran a slate of candidates to try and take over your association and your treasury. The people of HRA seen through this attempt and soundly defeated the Maus cronies.
The residents of Heritage Trails held a separate election at the same time on April 18. Not knowing Mr. Maus or his eight-year history of poor business judgements that has cost HA hundreds of thousands of dollars, elected him as their representative. Now, he is under investigation by the Missouri Ethics Commission for alleged money laundering. The charge is for transferring money from HRA to CFRC a 10 thousand dollar check issued by the developer to HRA.
Now that Heritage Trails is nearly complete the County will soon return the developers money which they have held to make sure the development was built to their standards. County standards lack a lot to be desired, for example the retention pond. Maus as president of the HRA board should have negotiated with the developer to rip-rap the pond banks, sod the banks to residents property lines, install a sprinkler system, and planted bushes, trees and flowerbeds. This leaves Heritage Trails with a seventy five to one hundred thousand dollar bill to pay.
Maus’s latest fiasco, with the help of board member Paul Hoynacki, has been to try to stop the issuing of insurance for Heritage & Heritage Trails.The board had found a major insurance company that would have saved over five thousand dollars annually in premium expense. Maus told the new agent that he planned to sue the association in the near future and the insurance company should be aware of this potential liability.
Maus is extremely bitter and has decided to leave his political sign on Heritage and Gettysburg Landing (pictured above) for everyone to see since the April 18, 2005 election. The sign was recently damaged, Maus has been asked to remove the sign, however he continues to leave this eyesore in place. If you do not feel this man is childish, please drive by, look at the sign and remember you elected him. Take a look at Carl Maus. Who does he remind you of?
A Upset Heritage Resident
Dear Friends:
The economy is still staggering along. A very good friend of O.A.S.I.S. Food Pantry has lost his job. This man and his wife are really great people who openly volunteer to help whenever we have a need. They are both very active in the Girl Scouts and provide a wonderful example of love and caring to these girls. The girls have helped with many projects at O.A.S.I.S. and are always willing to do more.
His last day of work is at the end of this month. His place of work is closing down and moving to the South because they can pay these workers less than half of what workers get here. His background includes over 20 years working in the following areas. Warehouseman - certified forklift Driver, loading and unloading, kept records for stock location, and, other warehousing functions. He has worked for, Nordyne, McKesson, Venture, and Mid America Poolquip. He worked for Bob Evan’s for almost six years working his way up to Assistant Manager responsible for opening and closing, staffing, balancing safe receipts, stocking bills, hiring/firing, daily reports, improving exterior landscape, and, ordering supplies. He is an excellent cook and would love to serve as a cook. Also worked for a glass company doing machine setups and operation.
