We are waiting on installation date on new plants on the slope by the pool/tennis courts as well as a drainage project by the basketball courts to mitigate the silt runoff during heavy rain. The Bennington drainage project has been completed but we still need some grading and sod in some other areas in front of the courts.

Tennis

Replacement windscreens have been installed. Courts 3 & 4, 5 & 6 resurfacing with crack repair to be completed in early May.

Please remember there are multiple tools at our courts to help dry your courts. They each serve a specific purpose, so in order to extend the life of these tools, please use them accordingly.

Upon arriving at your wet court, please use a roller or pull squeegee to spread out the large amounts of collected water. The Batt towels are to be used once the water has been dispersed to help dry the court in a more efficient manner. Please watch this quick video on the proper way to use the BATT towel here: battowel.com/video

Please remember to hang the squeegees and Batt towels back up on the inside of the fence when you have finished using them.

Golf Cart Laws and Safety on Roadways

Per Georgia law, residents are required obey the following rules:

A golf cart, legally defined as a motorized cart, may operate on roadways when all of the following elements of law are met:

1) Operate during daylight hours only (O.C.G.A. 40-6-330). May, however, operate at night if they meet the equipment requirements of 49 Code of Federal Registry 571.500: headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals;

The Board of Directors is asking for your cooperation and assistance. We as a Board are very concerned about the rise of unlicensed youths operating golf carts.

In the event you don’t know the georgia laws in this area, please see the information below that was prepared by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. The bottom line is that no person should be at the wheel of a golf cart unless they have a valid drivers’ license.

In the coming weeks, the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office will be stepping up enforcement of the Georgia Code. If the situation doesn’t resolve itself, the Sheriff’s Office has informed us that parents may be ticketed for allowing their children to illegally operate these vehicles.

As always, please call 911 or the non-emergency number at 770-781-3087 to report suspicious persons as well as unsafe or illegal operation of a motor vehicle.

Windermere Board of Directors

2) Operate only on a roadway with a posted maximum speed limit of 35 MPH or less (O.C.G.A. 40-6-362);

3) Must be equipped with an amber strobe light that is visible for 500 feet to the rear and front (O.C.G.A. 40-6-362)

4) The operator possesses a valid driver’s license (O.C.G.A. 40-5-20 and Coker v. State, Georgia Court of Appeals. June 13, 2003);

5) Slow Moving Emblem (16 inch red/orange retro-reflective triangle) is visibly attached to the rear (O.C.G.A. 40-8-4 (a)).

Other Restrictions:

6) Impeding the normal flow of traffic is prohibited: a golf cart or other may not drive “at such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic” (O.C.G.A. 40-6-184), e.g., operating in a 35 mph zone that prevents a following vehicle from driving the posted speed limit.

7) Occupants: Children under the age of 6 prohibited from riding as a passenger, for “a child passenger restraining system” shall be provided in all passenger vehicles (O.C.G.A. 48-8-76). Occupants must only ride in a proper seat position.

Legal exemptions: Registration (tag) is not required (40-2-20 exempts motorized carts), and Insurance is not required (34-33-2 only registered vehicles require Insurance).

Is your pup cool?

Hot weather tips for dogs

This month, i thought i would repeat my hot weather tips for our pups. The hot Summer days are upon us and we must remember that they experience the same issues we do - overheating, dehydration and even sunburn.

First of all, please be aware of the early signs of heatstroke which include heavy panting, drooling, restlessness, bright red or very pale gums, and lack of coordination. Cool water (not cold) may be poured over his head, stomach, armpits and feet, or cool cloths may be applied to these areas. If it seems severe, call your vet!

• It’s a good idea to take your pup for a full check-up as Summer begins. Their weight can certainly be affected by heat.

• Common sense says always bring your dogs in on a hot day. If not, please make sure they have a cool, shady spot and plenty of water.

• When it’s hot enough to “fry an egg” on the sidewalk, it is also hot enough to burn his paw pads. Walk him during the somewhat cooler times of the day. And never take him on an actual run even though you might enjoy this sweaty pace (yes I’m one of those crazy people!)

Remember their fur only adds to their body temperature and they are not able to remove a “layer” like we can in order to cool off a bit. I despise seeing runners with their dogs on a hot day. It’s just not fair and not healthy.

• neveR, eveR leave your dog in a vehicle even with open windows! And if you see this in a parking lot, please

report it immediately to a store manager or call Animal Control or 911.

• mosquitoes are very active and carry the larvae for heartworm disease. In fact, the Atlanta area has often been listed as the No. 1 city for mosquitoes. Get him tested. Fleas and ticks can also be an issue so you will need an effective flea and tick control treatment.

• Never use insecticide or sun protection products not approved for dogs. Many contain products that can cause serious problems when ingested or absorbed into the skin.

• ask your groomer about a summer cut which brings the hair down no shorter than 1 inch. NEVER shave them to the skin as you will take away your dog’s natural sun protection. Remember their skin can be sunburned like ours.

• LASTLY, I LOVE hearing a dog drinking water. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Make sure there is fresh water at all times. Old water outside, in particular, draws in those pesky bugs and mosquitoes.

Have a great Summer and make sure your pups do too!

Spring is officially here!

During the winter months our homes take a beating, so it’s important to perform seasonal maintenance to keep your home in tip-top shape. To help you prepare, we’ve put together this list of spring home maintenance tips.

1. exterior Brick and Stucco – Inspect for chipping or white water deposits. Water spots can indicate a problem with your gutters.

2. Siding – Pressure wash to prevent mold. Replace rotted pieces.

3. Windows and Doors – Inspect and repair caulk and weather stripping. Replace torn screens.

4. Foundation – Look for cracks, heaving or deterioration. Call a professional for repair if needed.

5. Roof – Check for damaged shingles and have a professional replace if necessary.

6. Hvac – Change filters, clean air purifier and have a professional check that your system is ready to handle the warmer months.

7. attic – Examine for leaks and proper ventilation.

8. Gutters – Remove leaves and other debris. Reattach if loose.

9. chimney – Have it inspected for cracks and leaks.

10. Landscaping – Prune plants and shrubs to prevent soil erosion. Add fresh mulch, fertilize and add pre-emergent.

11. mailboxes – Clean/paint mailboxes and posts to ensure they are free of damage, missing parts or milking. Please contact Mailbox Project at www.MailboxProject.net for any repair needs.
