Association Manager’s Corner
The Manager's Message School is out and the community is enjoying Summer! The pools are open. Tennis and outdoor activities are in full swing. The HOA has added three additional kayaks that are available to be used by the residents. We now have 4 one-person kayaks, 1 two-person kayak, and a new three-person kayak. This allows residents more options when using the lake. To check-out any of the kayaks, simply bring your driver’s license and amenity card to the clubhouse and sign a liability waiver for use of the equipment. Please remember all residents are required to wear a life jacket when on the lake and these jackets will be provided at the time of rental. If you have a non-motorized boat that you would like to use on the lake, it is required to be registered. Please bring a picture of your watercraft to the clubhouse and fill out the required documentation and submit the registration fee of $25 to receive your decal. The tennis courts on Lake Crossing are scheduled to be repaired and repainted later this month. This should take approximately a week to complete. An email notification will be sent out when the dates have been finalized. The HOA will also be adding an access control system to the Lake Crossing’s amenity center restrooms during the next month. The pool monitors have been very helpful during the opening of the pools this season and we will continue this program throughout the summer. Please remember that the lifeguards have sole authority at the pools. Unaccompanied minors ages 13-15 are permitted to use the pools with the understanding that they will respect and obey the lifeguards. If anyone is found not following the rules, they will be removed from the pool. Please remind your children of their responsibilities when using the community’s pools. The Clubhouse offices will undergo a remodel at the end of June. The Activities Director’s office will become the Property Manager’s office to allow more accessibility to the residents. The craft room beside the theater room will be converted to a storage area for the kayak’s paddles and life jackets as well as items for any of the social events within the community. The Spout Springs Road entrance expansion progress is pending the DOT’s project schedule. In anticipation of this project, the seasonal flowers were not planted, and the irrigation has been turned off until the road project has been completed. The Board will move forward with plans for replacement as the construction project nears completion. I will continue to update the residents with changes and enhancements to the community in future Newsletters. Please remember that my door is always open, and you are welcome to come by at any time to share questions and ideas. Tammy Quinn Community Manager for Sterling on the Lake

Gardening Tips
need one inch of water per week. Watering during Vegetables – Make trellises or use stakes for tomatoes, dry spells can help prevent problems like bare spots, cucumbers, pole beans and other climbing crops. Keep yellowing, dormancy, and some lawn diseases. an eye out for stinkbugs, leaf-footed bugs, bean beetles, tomato and tobacco hornworms, tomato fruit worms, Flowers – Looking at several of the Knockout Roses flea beetles, corn earworm, cucumber beetle, and squash in the Springs area has identified an infestation of the vine borer in the garden. Try using a UV Flashlight to Rose Rosetta Virus, or witches’ broom. No spray or hunt for tobacco and tomato hornworms at night. They treatment is effective for this virus.
