Some residents believe that Cove Connections and the Update | spanishcove.org are competitors.
Fortunately, that isn’t true and we affirm that the Spanish Cove Update and spanishcove.org are the official communications tools of the Spanish Cove community.
Few people know that we have supported the development of spanishcove.org.
As an example when Tom Lake began to work [...]
In response to Free Speak comments I, not Dave Danson, recorded the meeting and placed the recording on Cove Connections.

Below please find the complete original recording of the Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 CPOC Town Hall Meeting.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but that’s all it is [unless the writer attacks the reputation of, speaks ill of or defames someone].
I choose not to accept some opinions and, like a seed on the wind, let them float by remaining centered and unattached.
Spanish Cove’s problems seem very small indeed especially when major earthquakes [...]

Phew, that was quite a Board meeting!
I am so proud of my new JVC camcorder and last night decided to test it by taping a small part of the Thursday night Board meeting.
Arriving shortly after the meeting began, I stood at the very back of the Clubhouse fireside room and pressed the record button [...]

NEW YORK (CNN) — A model who was slammed with derogatory terms by an anonymous blogger has the right to learn the identity of her online heckler, a judge ruled.

Threaded comments were becoming to difficult to read and removed the feature. I’ll continue to search for a better solution but in the meantime the latest comments are now on the top of the comments list.
To add a comment click on the orange button at the bottom of each post:

In the future, for easier reading, the latest comment will appear at the top of the comments list instead of the bottom.

Regular backups of our most important files are really important! Most of us have experienced a hard drive failure, virus attack or other problem that affected or even wiped out our important documents, music files, videos and photos. Years of work can disappear in a matter of minutes and, sometimes, we’ll never get it [...]
Now you’ll be able to respond to individual comments instead of the whole post. For instance if you’d like to respond to Dick Junkins’ comment click the ‘Reply’ button that’s located directly under his comment. Nice huh?
In an effort to provide better search results a new search feature has been added to Cove Connections.
Would you please test it by typing something in the Search box on the CC Home page and let me know how it’s working or if you encounter any problems on CC? Thanks!
Approximately 55.825 days ago I downloaded a 60 day trial copy of Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and three licenses (one user, three computers). It’s a very nice package and costs around $99.00 but, since I don’t need high-end software for home use, I’d prefer to use something [...]

Well the vote is in, 65% of the residents who participated in the latest poll are willing to read or download an online version of the Spanish Cove Update. The rest of you (35%) like it just the way it is.
That’s good news since, if the Communication Committee can provide both options, we’ll [...]

AN EDITORIAL FROM COVE CONNECTIONS:
With all the hoopla about the Presidential candidates in the Nov. 4 election, one important piece of legislation may go unnoticed. An amendment to the state constitution takes Baldwin County Sewer Service (BCSS) out of the exempted classification of a decentralized or cluster facility when it comes to regulation of wastewater [...]

I have just posted the following comment on Spanish Cove Free Speak. Their editor had just removed a posting for bad language and inflammatory content, as Cove Connections has done in the past.

There has been much discussion recently about freedom of speech and an individual’s right to say or write whatever he or she wants – unfettered; unedited – just ‘let it all hang out’. We Americans are endowed with a multitude of rights, and it seems new ones are being invented daily. Many of our rights [...]
