Hurricane
Isabel Party
'Lots of Thank-You's'
Thanks to Patricia Press for
taking the fish fry idea and making it work.
It was a pleasure working with her on the combined Hurricane/Fish Fry
party.
Thanks to the great planning committee that included Patricia, Charlotte
Zajak,
Sheri Ackerman and Betsy Detwiler. We
couldn't have served up such delectable
fish without all of Charlotte's hard work preparing the fish and frying it -
with help from Patricia and Charlotte’s family/friends. Charlotte
was in her
element! Sheri's
handling of all things money related and Betsy taking care of the
chicken made it all come together. And
we can’t forget all the hard work that
Ellie Dotson (Jerry’s daughter) put into setting the tables and hand
writing all
of the 50/50 raffle tickets.
Music provided by Brenda Moore was the icing on the cake.
Thanks to everyone who made this happen and into such a success.
Almost
$200 will be donated to the Calvert County Red Cross.
We hope to never need a hurricane "anniversary' party again. Next
year it's a
Fish Fry (Patricia willing) and a hurricane drink in thanks for missing
another one.
To paraphrase two lessons learned from Joe’s speech:
accepting help from
others is just as important as giving it and you always have something
to give,
your company.
Thanks

Tips to Rid Neeld Estate of Mosquito Breeding Sites
|
-
Clean rain
gutters to allow water to flow freely.
-
Remove old
tires or drill drainage holes in tires used for playground
equipment.
-
Store plastic
wading pools inside or turn them upside down when not in use.
-
Turn over or
remove clay pots and plastic containers.
-
Dispose of all
empty beverage containers, plastic wrappers, discarded toys, etc.
-
Check for
trapped water in plastic or canvas tarps used to cover boats, pools,
etc. Arrange the tarp to drain the water.
-
Pump out
bilges in boats. Turn canoes and small boats upside down for
storage.
-
Replace water
in bird baths at least twice a week.
-
Remove pet
food and water dishes that are not being used.
-
Flush
livestock water troughs twice a week.
-
Don't leave
garbage can lids lying upside down. Be sure water does not collect
in the bottom of garbage cans.
-
Flush water in
the bottom of plant holders twice a week.
-
Fix dripping
outside water faucets.
-
Turn
wheelbarrows upside down when stored outside.
-
Check around
construction sites or do-it-yourself improvements to ensure that
proper backfilling and grading prevent drainage problems.
-
Check
ornamental ponds, tree holes and water-holding low areas for
mosquito larvae.
Call the nearest Mosquito Control Office (see below) if you find, or
suspect, mosquito larvae are present. “Mosquito Fish” are available that will
naturally control larva in ponds.
-
If ditches do
not flow and contain stagnant water for one week or longer, they can
produce large numbers of mosquitoes. Report such conditions to a Mosquito
Control Office.
Do not attempt to clear these ditches because they may be protected
by wetland regulations.
Contact the Mosquito
Control at the County’s Department of General Services, 410-535-1600 or 301-855-1243 or Mosquito Control Section of the
Maryland Department of Agriculture nearest you for additional assistance and
advice.

accordance with the requirements of CPSC. Paper wrapped snappers
containing less than 3/100 grains of explosive composition, and
snakes that contain no mercury and are not regulated by DOT.
- All other fireworks are prohibited.
- You must be 16 years old to purchase sparklers.
- Always follow the directions on the label.
- Always have an adult present to supervise your fireworks
fun.
- Alcohol and fireworks do not mix.
- Always use fireworks outside.
- Never try to re-light malfunctioning fireworks.
By following a few safety rules you will have a happy and
safe Independence Day celebration.
Calvert County Animal Control would like to remind you that loud
noise and bright flashes might frighten your pets. Keep your
pets indoors while enjoying the fireworks this July 4th.
