All property owners within the Battlement Mesa Planned Unit Development (PUD) are Members of the BMSA, thus, if you live here, it is important that you understand who the BMSA is and what they do.
Plan to join your friends and neighbors at the Grand Valley Rec Center for a lite meal prior to a recap of the BMSA's 2013 Successes and their 2014 Goals. The meeting will also feature two additional speakers: - Dr. Ken Haptonstall, Superintendent of Schools, will discuss the "District's Financial Challenges and the Future of Education in the Grand Valley."
- Lynn Shore, Battlement Mesa Metro District Board Member, will present an "Overview of Opportunities for the Grand Valley Recreation Center and the Battlement Mesa Golf Course and What It Could Mean for the Community."
We are confident that you won't want to miss either of these two presentations on topics that are critically important to our community. Additionally, the BMSA will share valuable information including the new 2013 Annual Report to Members. If you're still uncertain about attending, REMEMBER the food is FREE and that long time resident and former owner of the Easy Cuisine, Alain Senac is preparing the food.

 Stars of Tomorrow Talent Show |
The 4th Annual Stars of Tomorrow Talent Show, held on March 4, 2014 at the Grand Valley High School, featured more than a dozen talented performers.
What, you didn't attend?
All of the performers, which included individuals and groups from both, Grand Valley High School and the Grand Valley Middle School, did an excellent job. Although they were nearly invisible as the scurried around in the background, the dedicated stage crew kept the show on track and looking totally professional in every sense. The Winners: - Ethan Ball ~ Winner
- Allie Dovey ~ First Runner Up
- Rylee Sackett ~ Second Runner Up
- Carly and Ethan Ball ~ Third Runners Up
Ethan Ball will proceed on the the state-wide Stars of Tomorrow competition in Denver. The annual event is hosted by the Kiwanis Club. The audience was treated to a Bell Choir performance by members of the Grand Valley Methodist Church during while the judges were determining the winners.

Covenant Corner
In the spirit of educating more and enforcing less, Covenant Corner is a regular feature in the Battlement Mesa Newsletter. Experience has taught us that most people will comply with the covenants if they know what the covenant says.
In this issue, we'll explore the Plant Protection Rule which is part of Article VIII, 8.19 in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Battlement Mesa and further clarified in paragraph 9 of a Resolution adopted on December 20, 2005.
Plant Protection
"(a) Plant protection is defined as barriers used for the protection of plants, shrubs, and trees from deer, elk, and other animals that may cause damage to plants. The potential for damage to plants is greater during the colder months, but some plants many be damaged at other times during the year.
(b) Therefore there are two types of protection that are recommended for use to protect plants:
i. Temporary Plant Protection:
1. Temporary plant protection may not be erected prior to October 1, of each year.
2. 'Invisible' black plastic up to six feet high, supported with posts that are strong enough to keep the material from visible sagging may be used.
3. Welded wire up to six feet high, either supported with posts or secured at ground level, may be used.
4. Monofilament line supported with posts up to six feet high may be used.
5. Single plants or small groupings of plants may be surrounded,. Entire yards are not to be enclosed with any of these materials.
6. Temporary plant protection must be removed and stored by May 1st of each year.
ii. Extended Plant Protection:
Some newly planted items and some specific plants may need more extended protection.
1. Using the material in 9.b.i. above, individual plants may be surrounded keeping posts at a minimum.
2. This plant protection must be removed as the new plants mature.
Please remember that sub-associations may have more restrictive covenants than the BMSA.
