HAPPY FALL!

Have you had enough of the sweltering days? Well, better days are sure to come with Fall. The changing of foliage and all of the beautiful colors. Did we even have a Spring? It’s been hot for so long, We can’t remember a nice spring day anymore.

Fall is the time to clean your gutters from debris. Check the batteries

expiration dates for smoke detectors. They are typically good for 10 years, and CO detectors last about six years.

A Message from the Manager

I hope everyone has had a great summer and enjoyed having three (3) pools this year! With the hot weather, another pool was very welcome, but I’m sure everyone is looking forward to some cooler weather, sweaters and all of the fun festivals that autumn has to offer.

It’s been a season of cleanup and updating our community as well. We all want Mundy Mill to continue to be the beautiful community it is. I hope everyone noticed the Water Wheel on Mundy Mill Road. It is now lit up once again and it looks great!

It has also been a tough summer season for staff with several hospital stays and the loss of family members. However, we keep moving forward maintaining the community and amenities of the Association.

Hopefully, the fall will bring cooler days and nights. Cleaning up leaves that change to beautiful colors and then fall away. Once again, preparing for the upcoming holiday season. I think fall is one of my favorite times of the year.

The pools are open until October 2nd so I hope everyone continues to enjoy them!

Happy Fall

Safety in our Community

As we would all like to keep

Mill safe. There are a few things that you can do as a part of the community.

Street Light Outages

If you see a street light out, it is a simple fix. Jackson EMC has a hotline to report street light outages. Simply get the number off of the pole that is out and call (770) 536-2415. They will take the information and then dispatch someone to come and fix the light.

Known thefts or suspicious activity

Call the Police! We do have police patrolling the community. However, the patrols will increase

HOW BANDIT THE VERY ALERT CAT SAVED HER OWNER FROM WOULD-BE BURGLARS

BY AUSTIN CANNON

Bandit the Very Alert Cat Saved Her Owner From Would

Bandit’s insistence got him out of bed, and he threw on his robe and entered the kitchen. That’s when he saw the two figures—one with a crowbar and one with a handgun—trying to enter his back door.

By the time Everitt, 68, returned from retrieving his own handgun, the wouldbe intruders were gone, he told the newspaper.

Retired oral surgeon Fred Everitt was asleep in his Mississippi home early Monday morning when his calico cat, Bandit, started letting out deep meows.

It wasn’t an animal she’d seen; it was two people trying to break into Everitt’s Belden home. She then went into “guard cat” mode, according to the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.

The newspaper reports that the cat began her meowing between 2:30 and 3 a.m. Everitt assumed Bandit, who likes to patrol the house at night, had seen another cat. She absolved him of that notion when she ran into his bedroom, tried to pull his comforter off, and clawed at his arms.

“She had never done that before,” Everitt told the Daily Journal. “I went, ‘What in the world is wrong with you?”

“It did not turn into a confrontational situation, thank goodness,” Everitt told the paper, crediting his 20-pound cat with potentially saving his life. “But I think it’s only because of the cat.”

Everitt adopted Bandit from the TupeloLee Humane Society four years ago. He was there to make a monetary donation when he asked to see the kittens the shelter had. After seeing Bandit, he decided to adopt her.

“I want to let people know that you not only save a life when you adopt a pet or rescue one,” Everitt told the Daily Journal. “The tides could be turned. You never know when you save an animal if they’re going to save you.”
