A Note from the President
The end of the year is creeping up on us and
before you know it will be December!
It is budget time now and the committees are
working on their budgets for 2011. If any of you has a suggestion for any of
the Also elections are coming up. There will be two Board positions open, so if you or if you know someone, who would like to serve on the board be sure and get your nominations in by November 15 for free publicity in the newsletter. We will be having a candidate’s night on December 2. Entries can be written in at the beginning of the annual meeting on December 14. We are not having a nominating committee this year. Hope you all will enjoy this cooler weather and the fun things that fall brings!

book club kit put together by the library. If you weren’t at the September
meeting, feel free to contact Bonny or Verghese Chirayath. November’s pick
is "The Man Who Loved China" by Simon Winchester, a great
storyteller! After that we’ll have to generate a new list and have another
vote. Feel free to come to this book club, membership is always open! All
are welcome. Bring a munchies and/or beverage. Hope to see you there. For
more information, call Verghese or Bonny Chirayath.
Grounds Committee Notes:
Watering Your Yard After Aeration and Seeding
To get the maximum benefit from aeration and
seeding done on your yard during the period 20-24 September, follow this
advice from Brickman: Water for half as much, but twice. In other words, if
you have an irrigation system, set the watering times for rotor and spray
zones to half what they are now, and repeat immediately after the first
cycle is completed. This is done to keep the new seedlings moist to assure
germination. If you water your yard by an oscillating or other type
sprinkler, then water each section of your yard for 10 minutes or so, then
repeat the pattern again. Do this on each of your Town of Cary approved
watering days for two to three weeks then resume your normal watering
schedule until irrigation shut down.

Summer Draws to an End!?!?
As we passed through September and into October,
we look back on this summer and we know a bit more than we did this spring –
It was a hot & dry Summer! As of September 20th, we are 8.55" behind in rain
fall year to date and oursummer was the hottest summer on record!
As we look to the fall we will continue our
efforts to renovate the lawn areas of the community by scratching and
seeding bare areas, but remember, proper watering will be the key
During the summer, another record was set –
Damages to the homes in Heritage Pines. As a reminder, please use the
following steps to report all (siding, window, irrigation…) damage claims.
Call to the Heritage Pines office to report the
incident – it will be added to our list of con-cerns for the week.
A Brickman representative will review the claim
to be sure that it is damage caused by Brickman – we will either leave you a
note or speak with you directly on the issue.
The home owner is responsible for repairing the
damage – calling and scheduling repair with contractor.
Brickman will reimburse the homeowner
following receiving of the receipt – typically around 2 weeks from our
receiving the
During the summer we ran into several instances
that we were unable to inspect damages and we only received the receipts
requesting payment. As of October 1, unless we have inspected the damages
and agree them to be created/caused by Brickman, we will no longer provide
reimbursement. In the event that you repair damages yourself, please provide
us with a receipt for the materials purchased… so that we can reimburse you
for them. Following these steps will help us to work with our teams as best
as possible to prevent similar damages in the future.
Again, we would like to thank you for allowing
us the opportunity to continue to improve the landscape at Heritage Pines!.
Cheers, |
