Grounds Report

January, 2011

This year consisted mostly of upkeep and general maintenance. Thanks go out to my committee consisting of Jayne Roland, Nancy Barrett and Charlie Priscu.

Also I would like to thank several homeowners in the community who had tree work done on their own property and adjacent community property (with permssion of course) and paid for the entire job. There may be others & I’m sorry if I have missed you, but thanks go to Dave Clark, Jennifer Siegler, the Murrays, and the Merendas (for the bus stop tree). Also, John & Joyce helped me with the chain saw several other times with trees that had fallen, one being across the Frigerios’ driveway and another one at the dog park.

I know there are others of you, including Ken Heiden, who do various things around the community that I don’t know about, so thank you for your efforts and hard work as well.

Dave Clark also worked on the playground equipment this year. He called the pest control operator to take care of the carpenter bees and followed up those efforts with filling in holes the bees had made.

One thing I would like for you to think about, there are several areas in the community that would be enhanced by benches. We had 2 benches down at the playground area, but somehow over the years they have been destroyed. I would like to consider benches that are virtually indestructible and incapable of being moved. If you know of a bench that might be appropriate & affordable, please let me know.

Respectfully submitted,

Diane Bonar, Grounds Chair
