Helping Hands

*Many thanks to Barbara Cook and Norma Ritch for helping to deliver the Heather Pointe Information Site flyers.
*Applause also goes to Peggy, our neighbor directly behind the Heather Pointe marquee who allowed the brick mason to use her water to prepare concrete and mortar.

MEMORIAL GARDENS
The panoramic view of the trees across highway 75 has always been a picturesque sight . The changing of the seasons was evident with the leaves turning from green to the golden colors of autumn .
After seeing the deforestation taking place I went to the business office of Memorial Gardens. I asked the person at the desk if they were planning to build another subdivision. Her response was that they were just cleaning up some of the area. She said that they have sold off a portion of the property but that area is not visible from the highway. From her office I could see the area she was speaking of and it too was devoid of trees. She said they had no immediate plans to sell the property that borders highway 75 . As I was leaving she asked if I had need of a burial plot. I told her I already had one and was pleased with its location.

A few days later I saw a truck coming down their drive carrying logs. Putting two and two together let me know they were selling off their timber.

Progression On Entrance Lights

This past week a brick mason came out to build a brick container around each entrance light. He gave us a fair price yet it was still costly. Because of the cost, only one side will be lit at night. Optimistically, we hope that by encasing the fixtures in brick it will be more difficult for vandals to destroy. Of course nothing is indestructible as mentioned in Lights Out . HOA explored the idea of metal cages covering the lights.That idea was quickly abandoned when it was discovered that a cover for each light would need to be specially crafted by a metalworker. Each cage would have cost well over one hundred dollars per light.

Area being prepared to place concrete form

Forms in place to pour concrete
Heather Pointe residents are entering and leaving the community at all times of day and night.

Once the work on the lighting is finished it will be left up to us all to alert the Sheriff's Department of any suspicious activity. Calls can be left anonymously.

WEEDERS NEEDED ***************************************There are pros and cons with a beautiful garden. The beautiful colors of the flowers and their pleasant fragrances. are a delight. Keeping out the weeds and watering can be a chore. Be sure that anyone with a neat, colorful yard has spent lots of time and money to keep it that way.
The planters at the entrance need weeding. The presence of unwanted plants(weeds) distorts the beauty of the flowers. The possibility of replacing the flowers in the next season with low growing shrubs has been discussed. These would require very little maintenance and would be permanent. If you can help weed the entrance planters please do so. No need for permission. "Just Do It."

NO TRESPASSING !!!!!

First impressions can be gained by the outside of your home. As stated above most people with beautiful yards work hard and pay dearly to keep them that way. Children walking across lawns that are not their own and using a neighbor's yard as a shortcut is trespassing. The power boxes make great seats but if they're not on your property you are trespassing. Allowing pets to run free ( even at night) and use another's property as a toilet is a form of trespassing. Let's be conscious of the rights of others.
