FYI Re: Letters concerning routine inspections of Lawn, Landscaping, Siding and Roofs....
 
Routine inspections of ALL villages (which are done annually) were completed within the past 2 months and letters were sent out in June.  If you were the recipient of a letter, please be advised that in most cases it was to advise you......
 
Regarding lawns: your irrigation system might need checked to make sure it includes dry areas; or that you need to re-sod some areas.
 
Regarding siding:  In Florida, siding can show signs of mildew, become unsightly, and should be washed.
 
Regarding landscaping:  Some homes have landscaping which has become overgrown, or full of weeds and is in need of maintenance.
 
Regarding roofs:  In Florida, roofs can show signs of mildew (especially if under tree canopy) and will need washed to keep their fresh appearance.
 
Notify the Administration Office 326-1250 if you have taken care of these issues since the inspection was completed.

SAFETY SIMON SAYS......
Staying with "awareness" as our theme we can see that being aware not only helps us in reducing the odds of becoming a victim to crime it can also help us in protecting ourselves from becoming an accident victim.  Throughout our community we can see a number of people making assumptions.  When driving a car you might assume because we are a quiet community with minimal traffic you would only need to slow down and look and not come to a complete stop at a stop sign before continuing.  Same when driving a golf cart.  A number of drivers of both cars and golf carts allow their pets to sit on their laps assuming that as a driver they still have complete control of their vehicle.  A walker, jogger or bicyclist while wearing both ear pieces to listen to their music assume that they can still "hear" oncoming traffic or other dangers.  In all of the above examples the assumption of safety is mistaken.   Be aware instead.  Be aware that even with our minimal traffic accidents do happen.  Make sure to stop and look before continuing.  Be aware that it takes only a split second for an accident to happen.  A pet in your arm, though you and your pet may be enjoying the ride, can be a disadvantage and distraction in that spit second.  What safety does your pet enjoy in case of a collision and the vehicle's air bag employs?  Or your pet is thrown from the golf cart?   Injuries do occur even at slow speeds.  And when you are out and about listening to your music through your headphones be totally aware of your surroundings at all times.  Drivers may assume that you can hear them approaching while you assume that drivers see you and are looking out for you.  Both assumptions could result with you getting hurt.  And would you be able to hear a "bad guy" approaching?  Yes, even here we are not immune to the criminal element.
So be safe.  Be aware.
