Anthem Compendium Readers ask:

Am I the only one at SCA who thinks the rabbit population is a problem?

What happened to the entrance falls?

Do you happen to know anything about the water fall at the entrance to Anthem?

Do you know Favil West's email address?

Do you know if the development will encroach on the mountains?

Do you have Bob Berman's e mail address?

So my question is how do the contractors just come and shut down a street (actually half a street) with no notice.

Along the hill are signs posted that say NO ENGINE BRAKE. What does that mean?

By any chance do you know if they are going to build a regular swimming pool for outdoor swimming, not just a sit in pool like the one that is there now?

I have an old MAC with OS - any suggestions what I can do with it?

 How do I get rid of that on Goggle?

I am curious as to how you get the yellow box with the maroon  A to show up in my lists for your sites, instead of the blue e for Internet Explorer?

Do you know who I can speak to get an update on this?

Will there be any presentation regarding the proposed "shopping center "?

Do you know what the requested change to the speed limit is???

Do you happen to know why the sidewalks are being dug up on Olivia Heights and Brownbirds nest today?

I have copied the above questions into this portion of the Compendium to illustrate the kinds of questions that I have received during the first 6 months of this year. They are exact copies, but when taken out of context, one could come up with some witty answers. However, each question deserved an answer and each was answered to the best of my ability.
