C C ommunity onnection Open Space Association August/September 2016 • Number 180 www.kingsgrantosa.org • Email: [email protected] KINGS GRANT KIDS FISHING DERBY The KG Fishing Derby took place on Saturday, June 25th. 68 children participated and had tons of fun. See results and pictures inside. From the desk of the president Steve Dringus It’s hard to believe that another summer season is winding down. The extreme heat we have been experiencing has made the Kings Grant pool a very popular spot to cool off. Every resident in good standing is entitled to use the pool at no additional charge, and it is never too late to get pool passes. Contact the office for more information. On a less pleasant subject, it is pretty much a given that we live in a somewhat lazy society. Nothing confirms it more than when I walk my dogs and see dog waste in the middle of tot lots. OSA provides waste bags and waste receptacles…please use them. Over $3,000 of our annual budget is used to keep the dog waste stations supplied, please don’t let your money be “wasted”. By the way, this goes for cat owners who let their cats roam outside as well. The sand in the tot lots makes a perfect litter box. It’s not just a mess, it is a health hazard to any child who comes in contact with pet waste. And finally, I would like to welcome our new office manager, Jackie Holden. I’m confident that she will prove to be a real asset to the KGOSA staff. Stop in and say hello next time you’re in the office.

Threatening thunderstorms often loom large on summer afternoons so it’s important to be prepared for downpours and accompanying lightning, which can strike outdoors or indoors. Consider the following suggestions when planning both outdoor and indoor events this summer to reduce the risk of a lightning strike. • Watch the weather. Pay attention to your local weather forecast before participating in outdoor activities. If there’s a chance of thunderstorms, consider rescheduling or moving events indoors. If that’s not possible, have an emergency plan in place in case a severe storm rolls in and designate a sufficient nearby structure as an emergency shelter. • Stay inside. If severe thunderstorms are imminent, go indoors and wait until they pass. Safe, enclosed shelters include homes, schools, offices, shopping malls and vehicles with hard tops and closed windows. Open structures and spaces do not provide adequate protection. • Duck and crouch. If you’re caught outside during a severe storm, it’s important to crouch low on the ground, tuck your head and cover your ears to help protect yourself from harm. Do not lie down; lightning strikes can produce extremely strong electrical currents that run along the top of the ground, and laying horizontally increases electrocution risk. • Turn off faucets. During a thunderstorm, lightning can sometimes be conducted through the plumbing. Avoid any type of contact with running water, including bathing, showering, and washing your hands, dishes, or clothes. • Turn off electronics. All electrical appliances—televisions, computers, laptops, gaming systems, stoves, and more—that are plugged into an electrical outlet could carry a current from a lightning strike. Surge protectors will reduce the risk of damaging electronics. • Stay away from windows. Not only is lightning a threat, but high winds and hail create flying debris that could be harmful during a thunderstorm. Close all windows and doors and keep away from them. www.kingsgrantosa.org • Email: [email protected] Page 10 Kings Grant Community Connection August/September 2016 gray scale WINE • BEER • SPIRITS GOLD FOR THE GOLD black WINE • BEER • SPIRITS TAUNTON FORGE LIQUORS 10% OFF Great selection of wines, beers and spirits.

In many ways, it’s a lot like a business. Collectively, our regular annual assessments amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars that need to be budgeted carefully and spent wisely. And our neighbors who have volunteered and been elected to serve on the association’s board of directors are responsible for making critical decisions—on our behalf—about managing the community and our money. Our board also develops long-range plans—like when the parking lot will need to be repaved and when the swim pool will need to be refinished—about the parts of the community that are shared property. The board must set aside funds so that these kinds of projects can be accomplished on schedule or even ahead of schedule in the event there’s an unexpected breakdown. The board also sees that requests for bids are sent out, and contracts with vendors to do the work necessary to maintain our shared amenities. Board members decide who will do the best job of replacing the roof at the best price or who will be the most reliable company to hire to mow the grass and remove dead tree limbs. The board’s decisions can have a significant impact on the community’s appearance and, consequently, on our property values. Regardless of our professional manager, the board ultimately is responsible for overseeing association operations. If you are up to the challenge, consider running for election to the board. The nomination form is in this issue. If you are not quite ready to make that leap, at least take part in the process by voting in the annual election when you receive your proxy ballot in the mail. It is vital that the association members elect responsible board members to fulfill these important responsibilities. RENOVATIONS Remember, any exterior alteration, renovation, or addition to your home must have the approval of the Architectural and Design Review Committee, in accordance with the declarations, by-laws and rules, regulations and guidelines established by the Board of Directors. www.kingsgrantosa.org • Email: [email protected] Page 12 INFANTS • TODDLERS • PRESCHOOL • BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL • SUMMER CAMP WE NURTURE GREATNESS How a future big thinker learns, plays and communicates continually evolves.
