Happy
Summer 2012
Neeld Estate is about to be invaded…. but don’t worry it happens
every year. All those vacant
winter homes will again be bustling with activity.
All those friends and relatives that you don’t see much in the
winter will once again be returning in full force.
And why not, Neeld Estate is a great place live and to visit.
Neeld Estate is a friendly place and I for
one look forward to seeing everyone enjoying their summer functions with
friends, family
and neighbors. We are also
planning a full slate of NECA summer activities.
So, I think
this is a good time for just a few reminders to make our summer safer.
A
large percentage of people visiting and returning to our community are
little people.
There are no sidewalks in Neeld Estate so you will see the little people
walking, running, riding bikes and trikes and all other forms of
transportation on our streets. The
little people are also sneaky; they hide behind cars, boats, trees and
bushes and then all of a sudden appear in the most unpredictable places.
It is up to us big people to keep a close eye out for the little
people. This means drive
gently and cautiously through the community and always anticipate that
the little people are fixed on having fun and are not looking out
for
the big people in cars.
For the most part, beach fires are tolerated but this privilege comes
with responsibility. Everyone
seems to remember to bring wood, paper and matches to start a fire, but
sometimes forget to bring a shovel and bucket to extinguish a fire.
Remember, you have
an abundance of materials available to put out a fire.
Large quantities of sand and water
will do the trick. Digging
a pit first will help control sparks and make it easier to extinguish
the fire. A fire that
is not fully extinguished can restart during the night when unexpected
winds whip the beach. Also,
please do not have beach fires close to homes or when
winds are high on the beach front.
Attack
of the Mosquitoes they are hunting for you and want to suck your blood.
Sounds like a horror film, but unfortunately it is true.
This is a fight that we probably can’t win, but we can make a
difference by eliminating all standing water where they breed.
Walk around your yard and look for things like buckets, empty
flower pots and trays, blowup swimming pools, anything that accumulates
water is a breeding place for mosquitoes.
Some
of our most fulfilled summer activities involve jet skiing, water
skiing, wakeboarding and tubing. I
have been known to do some of this myself over the years, but that’s
another story. The
important thing to remember is to stay clear of swimmers.
It is not only the sensible thing to do but it is the law.
Swimmers, especially the little people, are hard to
see and are most vulnerable because they can’t move very fast.
More
and more of our residents are dog owners. Cleaning
up after our pets is the law but, more importantly it is the sanitary
thing to do. The
grassy areas along the roads are where the little people walk and play.
The beach is where we all walk and scavenge for treasures
and the little people play in the sand.
It is very disconcerting to see POOP spoiling our most precious
treasure. Please use the
doggie mitts that are available at the beach entrances.
Summers
at Neeld Estate are fun and relaxing so please keep our community clean
and safe for all our residents and visitors but, especially for the
little people.

The "Mutt

main entrances to the beach. Hopefully this will encourage all dog
walkers to pick up after their pets. If there is any problem with
the locations, they can be easily relocated.

What
We Do Matters!
Our landscapes are connected to the Chesapeake Bay.
Prevent pollution and runoff with a healthy yard.
You can help the Bay and
improve
water quality by using Bay-Friendly Techniques with
your own home
landscape.
These techniques reduce the biggest pollutants in the Bay,
sediment and nutrients, (nitrogen and phosphorous),
by restoring natural filters.

If you MUST FERTILIZE
your lawn...
Do so in the FALL or Not at all
Fertilizer runoff is
very harmful
to the Bay
