Community Survey ResultsThe results from the 2013 Community Survey have been compiled and

are posted on The Landings Association’s website (www.landings.org) under Library > Historical Documents > Community Survey Results. (You must be logged in to view the results.)

Satisfaction levels remain high, and are consistent with results from the 2009 Community Survey. Of those responding, 98% report that they overall are satisfied with living at The Landings; 97% report they would recommend The Landings to their family and/or friends; and 94% report that the services provided by The Landings Association are a good value for the Assessment. Of note, overall satisfaction with the Marinas has increased by 6% since 2009.

All Landings Association departments now are working with their respective volunteer committees to create action plans based on the survey results, including reviewing all the comments submitted to the open-ended questions.

Thank you to those who took the time to complete this important tool, which helps us improve our service delivery and better prioritize our projects. Please visit our website to review the results in detail.

Veteran Residents Sought to Share Stories of Early Years

If you are a longtime Landings resident who has been a part of the Landings community since the early days when Branigar developed the community, church was held in the fire station, and Marshwood was the only phase, The Landings Association wants to hear from you. Last year, The Landings celebrated a milestone…40 years of existence. This year, The Landings Association hopes to capture some of the highlights of the early days through a series of articles, timelines, and photos showing the progress of the community since it began in 1972. Residents who have lived on the island between the years of 1972 and 1986 are encouraged to share with us their photos, stories, experiences, and other Landings historical data. To take part in this walk down memory lane and help weave this historical tapestry highlighting our Landings forefathers and their many accomplishments, please contact Lynn Lewis (lynnl@landings.org or 598-5539).

The following listing was prepared based on the most commonly requested reference numbers at The Landings Association. For your convenience, please refer to these numbers often.

President’s UpdateMilly Pitts-DiCicco

President, The Landings AssociationBoard BriefsBoard Briefs

Following are the actions of The Landing Association’s Board of Directors at its meeting on June 25, 2013.

The Board adopted as policy the language stated in the easement and maintenance agreement drafted by George Nowack on June 25, 2013.

Approved the contract for Dave Angell, for the bulkhead replacement (and reimbursement) adjacent to 4 Crosstide Lane, conditioned upon execution of an easement and maintenance agreement.

Approved the contract with Expert Marine for the replacement of the bulkhead on common property adjacent to 4 Crosstide Lane, conditioned upon execution of the contract with Dave Angell.

Adopted a motion that The Landings Association continue to maintain, repair, and replace as required, those bulkheads and revetments that: 1. Are located on Common Properties; and 2. Were installed by the Branigar organization and/or The Landings Association under permit issued by the Army Corps of Engineers and DNR on common property prior to June 21, 2013; and 3. Have been accepted by TLA as Common Properties.

As the weather heats up and summer is upon us, there is no better time to think about water on Skidaway and in The Landings.

Many of you recently completed a community survey, the results of which are posted on The Landings Association’s website (www.landings.org) under Library > Historical Documents > Community Survey Results. (You must be logged in to view the results.)

I was very interested in the responses about water. About two-thirds of respondents say they already have taken steps to conserve water. Thank you for getting ahead of the curve. Another quarter of the respondents answered that they have done nothing yet about water conservation, and a small percent have made plans for which they have not yet acted. In all cases, more needs to be done.

We have been blessed with good rains recently. On many days after a soaking rain, I still see water irrigation systems running when they obviously could miss a cycle or two. I also see new landscaping going in or residential sod being replaced and ask myself if that resident used native, drought-tolerate plants or designed for less water consumption. We, all of us, have a lot to do. With that in mind, your Landings Association staff and Board have designed a committee structure to help. At the June 25 Board meeting, the committee charters and membership for three water committees were approved. We approved three committees not to add to complexity, but because we need the focus of each on three different areas, described below.

Water Rate CommitteeThis group is a subcommittee of the Finance

Committee. It conducts an annual review of the Utilities, Inc. planned rate adjustment to ensure it is in compliance with the 2003 Settlement Agreement between Utilities, Inc. and The Landings Association. This is not a new committee and has been operating in this review capacity for years. The members do not negotiate rates with UI but merely audit for compliance with the now 10-year-old agreement. Two Board members and two Association staff members are on the committee.

Water Conservation CommitteeThis group will include many island-wide

organizations that will collaborate to promote island-wide conservation through best practices and education.

Over the past few years, our water use has been pushing against the permitted levels, which are based on 2004 usage. There is a strong likelihood that permit levels will be further reduced. Unlike other areas in Chatham County, our water use is disproportionately higher for landscape irrigation at 55% of water consumption. Having a low-flow shower helps, but unless we tackle our large irrigation water usage, we will struggle against permit levels. Representatives on the committee will be drawn from the Association, Skidaway Audubon, The Marshes, South Harbor, the Oceanography Institute, The Landings Club, and island environmental groups. Representation is intended to be broad and not limited.

Strategic Water CommitteeThis committee is newly formed in recognition

that we need to establish an overall water policy and to provide direction on strategy regarding water sources and supply, making recommendations to the Association’s Board. One of the conditions of the water supply permit for the island is the evaluation of alternate water sources as a substitute for groundwater used. The Board approved the committee membership on June 25: Bill Foster, Sr., Jack Lantz, George Sedberry, Jim Orr, Neil Bader, Gary Herrman, Brenda Day, Shari Haldeman, and Paul Kurilla. The residents on the committee have welcomed skills in engineering, science, and government relations. We thank you for serving.

As residents, most of you will directly see and hear about the work of the Water Conservation Committee as a means to understand how you can conserve water in those areas YOU control at your home and in your yard. We will give periodic reports back to you as the work develops in the Strategic Water Committee. Those communications will be through this column and that of the General Manager and in periodic emails.

Dear Residents,

A separate report in this issue details more fully the progress of the replacement of the Skidaway Narrows drawbridge with a fixed bridge. However, the latest information we have from the Georgia Department of Transportation and the bridge contractor continues to point to a late July opening of the new bridge, and a removal of the existing drawbridge by the end of this year. Our Bridge Committee, now chaired by Bill Merz, will continue to monitor this project through the demolition of the existing bridge and remediation of the approaches to the new bridge.

On another traffic-related item, The Landings Association and The Landings Club are partnering on a new video related to golf cart safety and courtesy in our community. Once complete, this video will be posted online for reviewing, and will provide some good tips to help users of our trails and cart paths stay safer and more respectful of our neighbors. I cannot stress enough that we all must become more aware of those who share the paths with us, or someone will suffer a tragic accident.

During June’s Board meeting, action was taken on the results of a two-year study on bulkheads and revetments. From 2012-2013, The Landings Association completed field work that produced an inventory of all of the revetments and bulkheads located within The Landings on both private property and common property. The governance issue addressed by the Board of Directors was the responsibility for maintenance and repair of the structures. The repair and/or replacement of structures located on private property are the sole responsibility of those property owners. For the structures located on common property, if the revetment and/or bulkhead was approved and accepted by The Landings Association, those structures will be included in the Association’s Capital Asset Management Plan, with their repair and/or replacement funded through the Association’s Reserve Fund. However, those bulkheads and/or revetments located on common property that were not approved and accepted by The Landings Association are the responsibility of the benefitting property owner(s). Anyone with questions about this policy should contact the Association to ensure they understand the specifics.

You always should contact us if you would like to reserve a fun, summer excursion. If you haven’t rented one of the Marinas’ kayaks at Delegal for a half-day or full-day paddling excursion, then you’re missing out! Our rental program continues to increase in popularity during the summer months, with rates as low as $35 per rental. Just call the Marinas (912-598-1901) if you would like to learn more about this program.

Finally, don’t miss the annual Independence Day Celebration July 4th at the Deer Creek Club. Festivities begin at 6 p.m., with cookout-style food available for purchase. The fireworks are scheduled to begin at approximately 9:15 p.m. All residents are invited, not just Landings Club members. The Landings Association pays for half the cost of the fireworks to help support this community-wide event that always is a hit.

KnoxBoxes - Help emergency responders gain entrance to your home!

We have been speaking with residents about installing a KnoxBox System on their home that will allow firefighters and medical 1st Responders quickly gain access to the home in case of a fire or a medical emergency.

We originally thought the primary purpose of having the KnoxBox was to prevent damage to your door in cases where we had to force entry through a locked door. While it is important to prevent damage to your door, I now believe that the fact that we are able to gain access much more quickly in case of either a fire or a medical emergency is even more important than reducing damage to a door. In an emergency, seconds count, and a KnoxBox does save valuable time when we are responding to a fire alarm or you need medical assistance!

The residential KnoxBox is a onetime purchase with no monthly monitoring fee. Your house key is locked in the KnoxBox…not hidden for a burglar to find. The key is readily available for emergency responders instead of relying on a neighbor to be home. You can pick up an order form at station #5 located near the North Gate Recycling Center. You must use an order form signed by SSFD in order for our master key to fit your box. When you visit Station #5, the firefighter can show you a KnoxBox and answer any questions that you have. If the firefighter is not at the station, you can call me (912-547-7174), and I will arrange a time for you to meet.

Don’t leave home with your appliances running.Every year, we respond to a number of fires that are started by a washer,

dryer, or dishwasher. In most cases, the resident was home and they smelled something burning that caused them to investigate. They were able to turn off the appliance and call SSFD (912-355-6688) so we could check to be sure it was only the appliance and not the wall or cabinets that were involved. If you are not home and you have an appliance fire, it could become a major fire before you return home or until a neighbor sees the smoke.

Don’t leave your stove unattended while you are cooking in your kitchen.

It happens every year on Skidaway Island…someone walks away from their stove and goes into another room in their home intending to be gone only “for a minute”. I can remember asking a homeowner whose kitchen had caught fire, “How long were you gone?” She said, “I guess longer than I thought, and it turned out to be too long!”

Don’t delay calling 355-6688 anytime you need a firefighter to come to your home. That includes help in changing batteries in your smoke alarms.

Thanks for your support!

As many of you are aware, security is a partnership between The Landings Association and Landings residents. We look to you as our “force multiplier” and appreciate your valuable contribution.

As many of you are aware, tailgating is an issue that most communities with barrier arm gates combat on a daily basis. Tailgating occurs when a non-barcoded vehicle closely follows another vehicle properly equipped with a barcode into the community. Some refer to this practice as “piggybacking”.

We appreciate residents who are attentive enough to know when this occurs and follow through with a phone call to our Security team. If you witness tailgating, please remember that your safety is of the utmost importance, and at no time should you confront a suspected tailgater. Instead, we recommend you follow these simple steps:

1. Attempt to obtain the license plate number and a description of the vehicle and driver, if possible.

2. Call Security (598-2571) and advise them of the incident along with your name and contact information, if you desire feedback.

3. Relay the license plate number, description of the vehicle and driver, if possible, along with the direction of travel of the vehicle in question.

Again, your safety is paramount; therefore, we do not recommend directly contacting the person or persons.

Patrol officers will respond and investigate calls regarding suspected tailgating incidents. Upon the conclusion of the investigation, a supervisor will advise you of the outcome if you have requested follow-up notification. Furthermore, if the tailgater is not duly authorized on property, Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Officers will be dispatched. If the tailgater is authorized on property, but did not follow proper entry procedures, the sponsoring resident will be advised of the violation.

As a reminder, you are ultimately responsible for your guests and contractors. Therefore, if a guest or vendor uses the barcode lane to gain improper entry into the community, your resident privileges could be suspended.

In other news, tis the season! Hurricane season, that is. On June 11, 2013, Clayton Scott, Director of Chatham Emergency Management Agency (CEMA), provided a hurricane briefing at The Plantation Club.

We appreciated the 135 residents who attended this informative session. Although the desire was not to scare anyone into paranoia, Scott did convey a very important message about preparing now. CEMA is phasing out the term “voluntary” evacuation, and replacing it with a more appropriate vernacular, “recommended” evacuation. In the event a storm approaches our area and CEMA declares a recommended evacuation, you are strongly encouraged to leave the area. As previously mentioned, now is the time to start your preparations, which should include your evacuation plan and destination.

I have experienced several Tropical Storms and even a few hurricanes in South Florida. For some of the “brave” souls who chose to ride the storm out in their homes, the resounding response I received after the storm was, “I will never do that again.” And for the people who did heed the recommendation to evacuate, their primary response was, “Next time I will leave earlier.”

The Landings Journal - July 2013 { 7 }

As we work through the summer of Renewal & Restoration, I am thankful that I serve a membership with the forethought and flexibility that encourages staff to execute this work for the wellbeing of our Club for many years to come. I believe you will find that the temporary changes to established routines or slightly later tee times will have been worth it when we get to fall with magnificently-restored golf courses, an updated and fun dining concept at Deer Creek, and generally improved facilities all over our island of much more.

Clearly, this is a time for our Club to refresh our vision and take stock of the great things developing around us. From camps to cutting edge programming, there truly is a sense of renewal and growth at The Landings Club.

Kids Love Summer at the Club!Summer around The Landings Club is never complete without our traditional

camps! We offer an array of exciting activities from swimming to martial arts and much more. Our number one goal is to provide a fun, safe, and inclusive camp environment. Members and guests can sign up by calling the Fitness Center (912-598-2558).

Our Youth Golf Summer Camps are off to a great start. This year we will be hosting three standard camps, one 2-day mini-camp in August, and an advanced youth golf camp. We also are thrilled to have several young golfers representing The Landings Club PGA Junior Golf League and have gone 2 and 0 in our meets against Savannah Harbor and Wilmington Island with Coach Jim Sykes captaining the team.

Our Youth Tennis Program is also in great shape! Thanks to Nike and our very dedicated pros, more than 60 young players had the chance to sharpen their tennis skills during the month of June.

We also have some great things happening at the pools. Our Lightning Bolts swim team won 20 individual races against Wilmington Park on June 11. We are looking forward to a great summer swim season! If you have the chance, join us and support the Lightning Bolts during the home meets. Call the Fitness Center (912-598-2558) for more information.

PGA Get Golf Ready 4 Level Series Coming to The Landings Club in JulyThe Club is pleased to announce that it will host a series of PGA Get Golf Ready

4 Level series of golf instruction on Saturdays, beginning July 13 and running through August 10, from 10-11 a.m. A second series will be offered on Fridays, beginning September 13 and running through October 11, from 2-3 p.m.

Get Golf Ready 4 is perfect for those who would like to continue their golf instruction after Level 3 or are more of a beginner-intermediate golfer. This series will further develop long game and short game drills and good practice habits. In addition, there will be more time spent on the golf course for several holes each session with regards to course management, pace of play, common rules, and a wrap-up mini tournament.

This series has been introduced due to popular demand and will be taught by The Landings Club’s Head Teaching Professional, Nicole Weller. Nicole is a member of both the PGA of America and the LPGA Teaching & Club Professional Division. Among her many awards, she has been named Golf Digest’s Best Young Teachers Award - Top 40 Under 40, 2010 U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Kids Teacher, 2011 LPGA Southeast Region Teacher of the Year, and most recently the 2012 GRAA Top 50 Growth of the Game Teaching Professional, to name just a few.

The world is filled with plenty of examples where two things join together to create a successful combination. Think “brunch” (breakfast + lunch), “Velcro” (velour + crochet), or even “Brangelina.”

But what about dogs?Crossbreeds (sometimes called “designer” or “boutique” dogs) are a cross

between two purebred dogs. Breeds that are known for certain qualities are bred with other breeds in the hopes that the best and brightest quality of each dog will come through in the following generation. Currently, the most popular dogs to interbreed are poodles (non-shedding and intelligent), Labradors and golden retrievers (even-tempered and affectionate), and Maltese (sweet-natured and small).

Not surprisingly, the resulting appellation includes a combination of words. [For those of you attending Trivia Night, a “portmanteau.”] Some of the more popular crossbreeds are the “goldendoodle” (golden retriever + poodle), “Labradoodle” (Labrador + poodle), “schnoodle” (schnauzer + poodle), and “puggle” (pug + beagle). Likewise, wonderful dogs have been created that show breeders have a sense of humor: “Brat” (Boston terrier + rat terrier), cojack (corgi + Jack Russell), and “Chow hound” (Chow Chow + basset hound). (Aside: Too bad you couldn’t breed a St. Bernard and poodle to get some nice “strudel”!)

Technically, a crossbreed is not a “mutt” because it is an “intentional” offspring of two or more different purebreds. This topic gets dicey because there are those who say that “designer” dogs are just mongrels with good marketing. And if it matters to you, designer dogs are not recognized breeds by the American Kennel Club. This may be a good incentive to foster or adopt a designer dog, a nice option to shelling out hundreds, even thousands of dollars.

If you are considering a crossbreed, it’s important to be aware that all the best features may not be passed along to subsequent generations. There can be great differences in temperament or appearance of crossbreeds, even in the same litter. You might find a goldendoodle who sheds, a puggle who wanders, or a Malti-poo who, as the saying goes, isn’t the smartest dog on the leash. As an example, breeders developed the “Chiweenie” (a mix of the Chihuahua and the dachshund, also nicknamed the “Mexican hotdog”) in the hopes that the back problems common in dachshunds would be eliminated. It was, sometimes. Not all great combinations elicit success: By the way, how’s that spork (spoon + fork) working out for you?

If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or buying a crossbreed, come to The Landings’ Dog Park and talk to some owners. There are several crossbreeds that are popular and regular members of the Dog Park. We owners are a lively bunch that thrills to the opportunity to share stories about our crossbreeds. Recently, the Savannah Humane Society had several “designer” dogs available, so we hope you’ll consider adoption or fostering first. Also, there are many crossbreed rescue organizations on the internet, where you’ll find oodles of doodles. A few examples are doodlerescue.org or adoptapet.com.

Whether it’s a crossbreed, a mutt, or a winner of Westminster, you’ll be welcomed at the Dog Park, where we are the type of people who ponder things like: What would happen if you crossed a Malamute and a pointer? Well, ahem, that’s really a “moot point”.

Community Marketing and Real Estate Update

{ 8 } The Landings Journal - July 2013

By The Landings Company Board: Beth Tarjan, Chair; John Fishburne; Lars Ljungdahl; Doug Marchand; Bob Meng; Jim Scott

Do you have friends thinking about moving here? Are you thinking about listing your home for sale? Even though you know that using The Landings Company as your realtor helps support national marketing for The Landings, are you asking yourself if you should use or recommend The Landings Company? Take a look at the results and you decide!

If you list your house with The Landings Company, it’s more likely that your home will sell faster than if you list with other realtors.

Landings homes that came on the market in 2012 bear this out:

Listed Listed with with Other TLCo Realtors

Homes listed for sale 190 139Of those, how many sold by May 2013? 131 (69%) 58 (42%)How many were on the market 90 days or less? 68 24

The Landings Company’s website (www.thelandings.com) is the highest and best-ranked Landings Property Website*. It has had nearly 200,000 first-time visitors in the last 12 months. Listing your home with The Landings Company ensures you that your home will have the greatest exposure to potential buyers by far!

* Based on Google Analytics

Fifty new residents turned out for the first New Resident Reception and Orientation of 2013, held May 22 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Plantation’s Ballroom.

Staff from The Landings Association, The Landings Company, and The Landings Club, along with 12 on-island organizations (including Landings Landlovers, New Neighbors, and The Landings Art Association), were on hand, bringing the total number of attendees to nearly 80.

Landings Association Board President Milly Pitts-DiCicco, Landings Company President Bill Houghton, and Landings Club Executive Director Steven Freund addressed the group and explained the role of their respective organizations.

Tami and Lenny Tishberg, new residents originally from New York who moved to The Landings from West Palm Beach, Florida said they were appreciative for the orientation and felt they now know more about the community and are ready to dive right in.

“The reception was extremely helpful as far as learning the different functions of The Landings, and it was nice be able to put names with faces of the staff members,” Tami Tishberg said. “We now have a better understanding of the purpose of the three governing bodies. Just knowing their primary purpose is to help us as residents and that they are committed to doing that is very comforting.”

The beauty of the community with its stately oak trees, lagoons, resident wildlife, and wonderful waterfront amenities still astounds the Tishbergs.

“We love the utopia of The Landings,” Tami Tishberg said. “I get a serene feeling being here. It’s as if I am blanketed with beauty.”

Each new resident was given a New Resident Guide which included information about The Landings as well as general information about Savannah. Residents who wish to have a copy of this guide (whether you are new to The Landings or desire a refresher) can pick one up at The Landings Association office (600 Landings Way South) during normal business hours (Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Or visit The Landings Association’s website (www.landings.org) and click “New Resident Orientation Booklet” under “The Landings” tab in the upper, left-hand corner.

LAA Presents “Fabulous Fakes” in July

By Mary-Anne WestleyLAA

It’s a Rembrandt, a Vermeer, a Botticelli…or is it? Cezanne’s famous painting The Card Players has a price tag of $200! Is this art exhibit for real?

The answer is no. The Card Players is Linda Blount’s acrylic version of Paul Cezanne’s famous oil, painted in the 1890s. It hangs alongside other bargain-priced parodies of renowned artists’ masterpieces in the Plantation Club Gallery in July…all genuine, fabulous fakes by Landings Art Association members whose canvasses visit every period from Renaissance to Impressionist to contemporary.

Old Lady with the Pearl Earring is Penny Thompson’s sophisticated update of Johannes Vermeer’s 1665 painting Girl with the Pearl Earring. Lydia Bishop’s Plantation Gothic is a take on Grant Wood’s American Gothic, circa 1930. That’s not The Birth of Venus, painted in 1485 by Sandro Botticelli; it’s Low Country Venus by Phyllis Tildes. Rembrandt von Rijn’s 17th century self-portrait is really an original etching by Susan Trimble. These and many other pastiches of famous masterpieces are on view at the Plantation Club from July 3 through August 2.

The “crown jewel” of the July exhibition is Cathy Sizer’s collection of unique, one-of-a-kind necklaces, earrings, and rings in the gallery’s display case. For her vintage-inspired, classic-yet-contemporary jewelry, the artist uses myriad materials -- Raku pottery beads, handmade Czech glass, antique pendants and cabochons -- and combines them with semi-precious stones such as snakeskin agate, rainbow fluorite, and African green opal. She might add pearls and metals such as copper, silver, and gold plate to create something “new” from something “old” in her home studio.

Inspired by a gift of a handmade necklace in 2005, Cathy took workshops locally, read books, joined the Coastal Bead Society in Savannah and the LAA, and began the journey from hobby to art. This year, she added Nuno felted scarves to her artistic repertoire…a luxurious, lightweight textile that marries merino wool to Habotai silk in a process that can take hours. The wide variety of color in these scarves and coordinating jewelry is dazzling, a perfect complement to the captivating exhibit lining the gallery walls.

Everyone is invited to the opening reception at the Plantation Club Gallery Thursday, July 11, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. A members’ (and cash) bar will be accompanied by a fruit-and-cheese buffet compliments of the Landings Art Association. A “People’s Choice Award” will be chosen at the reception.

The Landings Art Association is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1987 to promote aesthetic enrichment and education in our community. Currently, more than 250 members represent a wide variety of artists, art lovers, and supporters of the arts. Residents of the greater Savannah community are welcome to join. For more information about LAA, visit www.landingsart.org or contact Mary Roche, membership chair (goldleafframing@hotmail.com).

The Landings Company is pleased to host the paintings of Joan McGarry Methfessel at The Welcome Center in July and August. Joan is an accomplished painter, and we hope you will take a few moments to stop by and enjoy her work.

Joan always enjoyed drawing but didn’t begin painting until she was in high school. When her children were in school, she began painting in watercolors and loved it from the beginning. Joan has had the good fortune to attend workshops and art classes with a number of very accomplished artists, such as Mel Stebins, Charles Parnell, Gwen Bragg, Tom Jones, Michael Wells, Barbara Kellogg, and Anne Hightower Patterson. When she came to The Landings, Joan took drawing classes with Phyllis Tildes and now is studying watercolors with Rebecca Kahrs Willis.

She has been active in the Landings Art Association and was on the board as Membership Chair in 2001. Being a new artist, Joan says that she “was very pleased to receive an Honorable Mention Award in the Spring Art Show of 2004.” She goes on to say, “Portraits have become my newest endeavor, and I really enjoy the challenge.”

Joan received a degree from the College of Charleston and taught third grade after graduating. Though she grew up in New Jersey, she has spent most of her life in the South. Joan has worked as a docent in the Davenport House and the Telfair and Jepson Museums, and because of her interest in miniatures, is a member of the Minilanders. She loves to travel and often uses her photographs as subject matter for her artwork. She says that Savannah is also a welcome subject of her paintings!

Stop by our Welcome Center at One Landings Way North (just beyond the North Gate) seven days a week. Joan’s work will be on display during July and August.

Turf Damage and Insects

By Sean Burgess seanb@landings.orgEnvironmental Manager

With the onset of summer, it is important to remember to inspect your turf on a regular basis for insect activity. The Landings Association’s Public Works Staff has noticed an increase in insect activity in the irrigated turfed areas of the community.

The primary insects causing this damage are mole crickets and chinch bugs. As summer sets in, we also will start to see an increase in fall armyworms. A successful turf management program requires regular inspections of your yard to address these insects before they can do large amounts of damage.

Chinch bugs are a combination of three different species within the Lygaeidae family. They have piercing-sucking mouthparts, and they feed on the sap of grass plants. They reside in the thatch area of the turfgrass stand and prefer to feed on the lower leaf sheath and crown area of the plant. The chinch bug can be a major insect pest on home lawns throughout the country.

Mole crickets are insects that are specially adapted to tunnel under the ground and destroy the root systems of your turf. They begin to appear in our area in June and are prevalent through the end of October. These crickets are nocturnal; therefore, most of their tunneling and feeding will occur at night.

There is an easy way to check your yard for mole crickets. Add two ounces of liquid dishwashing soap to two gallons of water and apply to a four-square-foot section of damaged turf. This will cause any mole crickets in the soil to surface. If you see two to four crickets within three minutes, then an insecticidal application is needed.

The Fall Armyworm is part of the order of Lepidoptera and is the caterpillar life stage of a moth. It is regarded as a pest and can wreak havoc with turf grass if left to multiply. Its name is derived from its feeding habits. These insects will eat everything in an area, and once the food supply is exhausted, the entire “army” will move to the next available food source.

The armyworm’s diet consists mainly of grasses and small grain crops. An infestation is hard to detect, as the caterpillars migrate to new feeding areas in the cool of the night. As the caterpillars near maturity, they can lay waste to an entire yard in just a few days.

Chinch bugs, mole crickets, and Fall Armyworms can affect all types of warm season turf including St. Augustine, Centipede, and Bermuda grass. Visual indicators of insect damage include thinning of turf, yellowing of leaf blades, tunneling, and loosely-rooted turf.

With the current increase in insect damage, it is important to be vigilant in inspecting your turf for the visual indicators. Control of damage and insects can be obtained by using properly-timed applications of a broad spectrum insecticide which is readily available at your local gardening supply stores.

Marinas UpdateBy Blake Coleblakec@landings.orgMarinas Manager

Now that we are well into our busy season, many wonderful and exciting things are happening at the Marinas.

If you haven’t attended one of our Sunset at The Harbor events on the first Friday of the month, I strongly suggest you make plans to attend the next one. Our local vendors have been drawing crowds and receiving rave views. The July 5 cookout will be catered by Village Grill, and Kona Ice will provide their cool, sweet treats. The entertainment for the evening is Dr. Dan Matrazzo and The Looters. Grab your friends and come on down and party with us. Speaking of parties, down at Delegal the parties are in full swing the third Friday of each month. Head down and witness the most breathtaking sunsets in this area and grab some great food while you’re at it. The next event is July 19 and will be catered by Sticky Fingers and Kona Ice. Gordon Perry will provide live music that will have you up and moving the entire evening. Finally, weekend on the Waterfront tentatively is set for September.

In other Harbor news, don’t forget about our new summer hours of operation. Following is the schedule:

Drop by the store and take a look at some of our summer merchandise. We have a good selection of Aftco, Hook and Bones, and Landings Logo apparel.

The Cobia Tournament wrapped up June 16. A total of four vessels entered the tournament, but only one boat was able to land the elusive Cobia. The boat, “Gooz-Fra-Be”, caught four fish. The three heaviest fish weighed in at 21, 21, and 33 pounds, respectively. The catch totaled 75 pounds, winning them both the Aggregate Prize and the Heaviest Fish prize. Please stay tuned for upcoming fishing tournaments like the Spanish Mackerel Tournament.

Two safety issues need to be addressed at Landings Harbor. The first is a reminder to all residents that the dry racks and the tarmac between the dry racks are off limits to non-staff members.

The second issue I have noticed is that all too often our forklift drivers are getting startled when boaters pop up in the way, forcing the forklift drivers to stop suddenly. In a typical weekend, forklift drivers move an average of 150 boats per day.

In an effort to improve safety, the marina has blocked off an area for boaters to wait in between the live bait tank and the crew shack. After boaters have informed the store clerk of their intentions for their boat, they should remain either on the porch or in the waiting area until their vessel is retrieved. If the vessel is to go immediately into the water, then boaters should use caution, look both ways, and stay within the painted pedestrian walk that crosses the forklift launch and proceed down the ramp.

If the vessel is going to a wash rack, please take the same precautions but continue along the painted pedestrian walkway. The marina staff have relocated one side of the wash racks to make room for the walkway.

Performing Routine Roof MaintenanceBy Paul Kurillapaulk@landings.orgPublic Works/Community Development Director

A recent study showed 35% of all roofing structures in the United States fail to meet their life expectancy. This would translate to 1,400 homes at The Landings alone. Major repairs on your home are expensive, and none more so than repairs made to your roof. However, performing and maintaining your home can save owners a lot of money down the road.

Roofs are exposed to the sun, rain, people, and other wear and tear, causing excess damage. Most owners would respond with something along the lines of, “That is why I have a warranty!” However, what many residents don’t know is that your warranty for the roof and the roofing materials state that the warranty is null and void if the roof is not maintained. If you cannot provide evidence that your roof has been maintained consistently, than you will not succeed when making a claim against the warranty.

Most experts agree that roofs should be inspected twice a year, although there is some contention as to when it is best to do it. Many believe that the ideal time to inspect your roof is right before and right after severe weather. For those who live in the North, severe weather is usually in the winter when snow and ice can do the most damage. However, for those of us living in the South, inspecting the roof before and after summer would be ideal, when heat and storms can do the most damage.

There are multiple suggestions when it comes to performing maintenance on your roofs. Periodically, a formal moisture survey should be done, in addition to your bi-annual visual inspections. Moisture surveys don’t measure water lying on the roof. Instead, they measure the properties of the roof materials that change when there is water present. A formal moisture survey can be performed by an experienced roofing contractor.

Water infiltration, detected by a moisture survey, can prevent one of the roofing industry’s costliest repairs…the rotting and loss of integrity of the structure. There are two ways a moisture survey can be performed -- with an infrared survey or with a mapping technique called a nuclear survey. The infrared survey uses tools to see where moisture is trapped based on the heat it retains during sunny weather. The nuclear survey allows roofing contractors to see where there are concentrations of moisture within the roofing structure. Both of these techniques allow for contractors to pinpoint where there may be damage, and begin developing solutions before they cause further damage.

Visual inspections should also be performed. While these inspections can be done by the resident, they also can be performed by roofing contractors. It is

important never to inspect or attempt to fix slippery or wet roofs, as that can cause injury or even death. When inspecting roofs, always take proper steps to maintain your safety: Secure ladders; don’t put body weight on portions of the roof that look damaged or weak; and when cleaning, safely and securely move the ladder to reach portions of the roof.

When inspecting the roof, look for missing shingles or flashing. Flashing refers to the thin pieces of material that are installed into a structure from a joint. Also look for weak areas in the roof, heavy growth of plants, or dark spots. Check all leaks and/or missing shingles, as leaks that have been around for a noticeable period of time may lead to growth of mold and mildew in the attic and the beams supporting the roof.

Once the roof has been inspected, including the shingles and nails, do not overlook the gutters. Clogged gutters also can lead to water accumulation which then will cause leaks and additional mold.

All of these suggestions can be performed by a roofing contractor. Before hiring someone, make sure you research the contractor thoroughly, and use your best judgment when allowing strangers onto your property. Most legitimate roof contractors, although not all, will have full coverage by a reputable insurance company limiting your liability should something happen on your property.

If you decide to perform your own roof maintenance, we first recommend that you perform your own research, whether by asking an expert or researching sites such as www.doityourself.com/scat/roofingmaintenance. This website, sponsored by Home Depot, will answer many of your questions and provide tips that will make the work easier and even less costly. The website includes articles on how to pressure wash your roof, how to make repairs, and how to remove moss.

Here are two immediate steps you can perform for DIY Roof Maintenance: • Check to see if trees are growing too close to the

roof. Not only falling branches do damage; falling leaves can cause water to run down behind the fascia and help to promote the flooding of your attic or living spaces.

• Are there black or discoloring streaks on the roof? This is an indication that you have a problem with mold, algae, or fungus. These readily grow in high humidity, something Savannah is well-known for.

While these tips for roof maintenance may seem easy, they are vitally important not only to the integrity of your roof, but to the health of your wallet. Repairs on roofs are not cheap, and often are not covered by warranties. Catch leaks before they break through or cause harmful mold and mildew to grow. Catch weak spots on roofs before they collapse. Doing so will provide continuous benefits for you and your property.

Landings Pride: Property Recognition Program

By Smart Johnsonsmartj@landings.orgCovenants Enforcement Officer

The Landings Pride Property Recognition Program nominees for Second Quarter (April-June) are due by July 5. (Nominations always are due the fifth business day of the new quarter.) The Property Renewal Initiative with Direction & Education (PRIDE) was approved by The Landings Association’s Board of Directors and is designed to recognize property owners who have well-kempt residential property.

The Pride Program acknowledges the time and resources many of our residents have extended to make their property as attractive as possible. It also provides motivation for others to keep their property in the traditional beauty that is a Landings standard.

Residential property owners or renters who have made significant positive improvements to their property, or those who do a noteworthy job of property maintenance (within the guidelines of The Landings PRIDE Private Property Appearance Checklist Self-Assessment), should be nominated.

Take a look around the community at the property of your neighbors and give the recognition deserved by completing The Landings Association’s Residential Property Recognition Program Form found on the Association’s website (www.landings.org) under Library > Other Forms. An indication of consideration would be residential property owners or renters who have used programs such as The Pine Straw Program, Roof Blowing Programs, or the Home Expo Program to display property improvements and personal property maintenance.

The Award categories are as follows: • General property maintenance and

improvements • Remodel, renovation, or additions• Landscaping and/or gardens• Environmentally-sensitive improvements (e.g.,

use of rain gardens, green building materials, and storm water management strategies)

For questions or assistance with the Property Recognition Program, please contact Covenants Enforcement Officer Smart Johnson (smartj@landings.org or 598-5510).

The Landings Journal - July 2013 { 15 }

By Paul Kurillapaulk@landings.orgPublic Works/Community Development Director

As part of our Landings Pride Program, we will communicate property maintenance information each month relevant for that time of year. Each article is intended to focus on how individuals could better maintain their home, providing benefit to the overall community.

These articles will focus on home maintenance. We will share with you tips and techniques on how the Association maintains our facilities and subsequent practices that can be used for the do-it-yourselfer. We also will provide names of some of the vendors who have the required commercial passes to work on the island. These vendors have not been vetted by The Landings Association, and we remind residents to use caution when hiring contractors.

If you have the opportunity, please provide your feedback so we can tailor the program to residential needs.

PRESSURE WASHINGLiving on a forested, coastal island, there is no surprise that mildew, leaf

tannins, and dirt accumulation on our homes is a constant battle. In our area, the best management practice for home maintenance is to wash and/or clean the exterior of your home at least once a year.

So when do we do this? In the fall, headed into winter, most of our mold has quit growing, which normally would be a great time to pressure wash. However, the spring pollen and live oak spring de-leafing can cause many problems if you pressure wash earlier in the year. For this reason, The Landings Association tries to focus our major cleanings in April and May, but certainly no later than June. We believe this provides us with the best bang for our buck.

For the do-it-yourselfers, pressure washing your home can be a simple way to improve your property. As with any project, the machinery and products you use will greatly influence your results. For most homes in our environment, the Association recommends a gas pressure washer. If you do not own one, most home improvement stores offer them for rental. For optimal results, use the machine in conjunction with hand tools.

To wash your home, pretreat the stained areas with a pump garden sprayer and a solution mix of liquid bleach, a mildewcide, and water. There are many brands of mildewcide available at the local home improvement stores. The Association has found Jomax Mildew Killer to be a good product for our needs. Once the product is set, simply scrub the area and then rinse. It is important that residents follow the manufacturer’s mixing ratios to prevent damage to your surrounding vegetation.

After you have pretreated the stains and the areas of mildew on your home, you are ready to pressure wash. It is best to wash your home from the bottom up and rinse from the top down. This will give you a professional looking cleaning without unsightly streaks.

Please make safety your top priority when you do this work. Water and electricity do not mix. Be careful of exterior outlets, exterior lights, and the electrical meter. Make sure that if you use a ladder that it is on firm footing. And don’t blast the water and solution directly into corners, under the edge of windows or doors, or in dryer and attic vents.

In the event that you do not want to do this yourself, we have put together some information on selecting a contractor to do this work for you. The average price for pressure washing runs between $68 and $74 per 1,000 square feet. Most companies offer a free estimate and will quote your price based on square feet, the number of windows, the number of stories, and if there are any large porches or screened rooms.

An article was published in the March 2013 Landings Journal (page 16) regarding selecting a contractor. It is vitally important that before selecting a contractor you do your homework regarding the businesses, ask multiple contractors for quotes, and ask other residents and friends for recommendations.

We have provided a list of some pressure washing vendors who work on the island. Please note that we have not vetted these contractors, and we strongly encourage that you make sure that the contractor you are selecting is someone you are comfortable with and, if possible, someone your friends and other residents have used. The Landings Association will not recommend any one vendor over the other.

How each resident maintains his or her home is an important aspect for the entire community. We hope you find this information informative. Thank you for doing your part in keeping up the community.

{ 16 } The Landings Journal - July 2013

By Karl Stephenskarls@landings.orgChief Administrative Officer/Finance Director

If a hurricane threatens our area, have a plan, and leave early. Those were the two, central messages hammered home by Chatham Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) Executive Director Clayton Scott at the annual Landings Hurricane Town Hall Meeting June 11 at Plantation Club.

Scott noted a hurricane that slams into Skidaway Island could cover The Landings with several feet of water, and send spiders, snakes, and other critters scurrying for shelter into homes. He spoke of the extremely unpleasant situation that could exist for those who choose not to evacuate, as well as the potentially life-threatening situations that could occur with no emergency personnel to respond.

Scott said that should a Category 1 storm be predicted to hit Skidaway Island, residents will need to evacuate. That is because a Category 1 storm would cover almost all of Skidaway Island with water, and a Category 2 storm would completely cover the island.

One map even showed the City of Savannah as an island surrounded by water during a Category 2 hurricane. Scott said, “Storm surge is our greatest threat.” Because the ocean floor remains relatively shallow for 90 miles off our shores, that could lead to water being pushed onshore during a storm event, Scott said. He also said that if an evacuation is ordered, for a Category 4 or 5 storm he would recommend going inland at least as far as Macon, if not all the way to Atlanta for a larger storm.

CEMA’s website (www.chathamemergency.org) has tips on what to pack for an evacuation and evacuation routes, among other pertinent information. As well, you can choose to sign up for CEMA Alerts, which are email messages CEMA distributes in the event of inclement weather. Just go to www.chathamemergency.org and add your email address to the CEMA Alert box on the homepage. CEMA also has a Hurricane Hotline (912-644-8811).

The Landings Association also has put together a Hurricane Guide, found at www.landings.org under Library > Emergency Planning, as well as on page 35 of your 2013 Landings Residential Directory. Though the Association has a business interruption plan in place, reviewed annually, this plan relates to continuation of business activities as well as recovery efforts. Each individual is responsible for his or her own hurricane plan.

Several audience members echoed Scott’s central message of leaving early when an evacuation is imminent, to avoid traffic delays as well as potentially being stuck. Before an evacuation, Scott recommended buying as many plastic containers as would fit into your car, realizing that is all the room you will have if you need to leave, and to plan now what to take and what will be left behind. Scott said now is a good time to scan in precious photos

and other documents, so that you can take a backup file rather than all the originals (especially photos) if you do need to evacuate, and also to video all of your possessions for insurance purposes. He pointed out that smartphones can record video, making this task quick and easy to accomplish.

He recommended putting together a Home Evacuation Kit, including such items as pet records (including rabies shots), prescriptions, phone chargers, cash, food and water for at least three days, and vital documents, such as those listed below.

Vital Documents• Shot records for all family members (including pets)• Medical and dental records• Copies of all prescriptions• Bank account & safe deposit box information• Monthly bill information and addresses• Paycheck information and addresses/phone numbers• Vehicle and insurance documentation• Marriage certificate• Birth certificates for all family members• Citizenship papers• Adoption papers• Passports with any required visas• List of social security numbers for family members• Powers of Attorney• State and Federal tax records• Wills• Insurance policies• List of immediate family addresses & phone numbers• Court orders: divorce, child support, child custody, etc.• Real estate documents (e.g., leases, deeds, &

mortgages)• Copies of any installment contracts (car, furniture,

etc.)• Pet records and supplies

To stay in the loop on immediate weather threats like tornadoes, Scott recommended purchasing weather radios with “SAME” technology. This allows the user to set alert levels as well as locations, so that you could set your radio to alert you only to tornado warnings in Chatham County, for example.

Finally, he recommended that homeowners should talk with their insurance brokers to explore potentially purchasing excess flood insurance. This would protect against a loss exceeding the standard flood insurance limits of $250,000 for a home and $100,000 for the contents. He said the extra expense may well be worth the peace of mind it could bring.

Gators 411

By Lynn Lewislynnl@landiangs.orgCommunity Relations

Snakes aren’t the only scaly creatures out for a romp in the sun this summer on our island. Alligators enjoy catching the rays as well.

Like snakes, alligators are an important component of our coastal plains ecosystem and should be treated with the respect they deserve.

These reptiles often are seen sunning on the banks of The Landings’ lagoons and have been known to spook a resident or two out for a casual stroll. For the most part, if left alone, alligators won’t harm you, but it is wise to know just a little about these scaly reptiles to ensure the safety of you and your loved ones.

According to USDA Services Representative Jonathan Smith, alligators are ectothermic and rely on external heat to maintain their body temperature. “Residents should not assume that if they see an alligator sunning there is a problem,” Smith said. “When we receive a call from a concerned resident, it is our policy to make a site visit to check out the alligator of concern. If we determine this animal is causing a problem or

it is approaching eight feet in length, we will contact the state-appointed trapper and have the gator removed. In a normal year, we remove approximately 25 alligators from the Landings’ 151 lagoons.”

Typically, alligators are not aggressive and will avoid you if at all possible. However, there are times when they can appear to be aggressive Smith said.

“Alligators mate from April through May, and males, can be territorial during that time,” he said. “Females generally lay 30-to-50 eggs in a mound of vegetation from early June to mid-July and will defend this area if approached. In late August to early September, hatchlings will be born, and the female will defend them from intruders. When defending a territory, alligators will hiss and approach an intruder, but rarely will they ever attack when defending their nest or hatchlings.”

Smith added that residents should remember the most dangerous alligator is one that has been fed by humans and has been conditioned to this activity. “Alligators become dangerous when they lose their fear of humans and are expecting a handout from anyone who may approach the area. Pets also are a favorite meal of alligators, but adherence to leash laws should prevent any pets from being eaten.”

Landlovers Announces Winners Of 2012-2013 Community Service

Merit Award

Courtesy of Landings Landlovers

Landings Landlovers is pleased to announce that three recent high school graduates have been named winners of the 2012-2013 Community Service Merit Awards.

Landings residents Kevin Franco, Lydia Hartman, and Matthew Quintana each have been awarded $1,000 scholarship grants in recognition of their commitment to their community and their schools.

Franco recently graduated from Savannah Country Day School. An honor roll student and National Honor Society member, he volunteers with St. James Church and the Social Apostolate in Savannah and Norwalk Hospital and Waveny Care Center in Connecticut. Franco is the senior co-editor and writer for The Buzz (his school newspaper), a member of the quiz bowl and mock trial teams, and a senior mentor and freshman weekend chaperone. He lettered in football, golf, and wrestling. He also is an accomplished musician, having composed music for a string quartet, a piano sonata, and solo work. Franco will attend Bates College in the fall.

Calvary Day School graduate Lydia Hartman has a long record of volunteering her time and talents for her community. She has participated in mission trips to Nicaragua and North Carolina; tutored young children; raised funds for Not For Sale, an organization that works to stop human trafficking; and volunteered with Special Olympics’ “Make a Splash” to raise awareness of water safety, Ronald

McDonald House, Old Savannah City Mission, the Rock-n-Roll Marathon, Buckingham South Assisted Living Facility, Savannah Rehabilitation and Nursing, the American Red Cross, and Savannah Swim Team, and Georgia Coastal Aquatic Team. A four-year member of the National Honor Society, she was a member of the Calvary swim and cross country teams and the Calvary Medical Magnet Program, a partnership with Memorial Hospital for select students with an interest in the medical field. Hartman will enter the University of Georgia in the fall.

A recent graduate of Savannah Arts Academy, Matthew Quintana received the school’s Jefferson Award for Public Service in recognition of his outstanding leadership in volunteerism. He has worked more than 200 volunteer hours at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore; participated in Patrick’s Ride, an annual bicycle ride from Savannah to Augusta that raised money for cancer research; and, as a childhood leukemia cancer survivor, has been a spokesperson for the ride. Additionally, he assisted with an Eagle Scout service project that incorporated landscaping and the construction of a memorial garden for Benedictine Military School. Quintana is a varsity soccer player, and a member of the Savannah Arts Academy Choir and the Savannah Storm Barbershop Harmony Youth Choir. He will attend North Georgia College and State University.

According to Landings Landlovers President Sheila Grossman, “All of these students have demonstrated dedication to going above and beyond in giving of their time, talents, leadership, and creativity to their schools, community, and churches. They are role models for their peers and excellent

representatives of their generation. The Landings Landlovers is pleased to honor their dedication and commitments.”

Landings Landlovers’ goal is to improve community life through philanthropic, social, and cultural activities. The proceeds from the group’s six major fundraisers are given in grants to worthwhile projects and programs sponsored by on-island organizations, scholarships for The Landings Association and Landings Company employees and their dependents, and merit awards for high school seniors.

On June 14, I visited with the bridge contractor to provide a community update on the progress of construction at the site. Several photos from the top of the bridge have been posted on our website (www.landings.org), under Calendar & News > Photo Gallery.

The middle span of the deck surface is now complete, as shown below, including post-tensioning.

You may have noticed that the girders on the Skidaway Island side of the bridge were shifted into place the week of June 9. The remaining girders (on the mainland side of the bridge) were shifted into final alignment the week of June 16,

Thereafter, the contractor is scheduled to begin pouring concrete for the two remaining 130’ spans on either side of the main deck, thus forming a continuous deck surface. This will be followed by another mandatory curing period of at least 14 days.

Installation of the barrier walls was scheduled to begin the week of June 16. Remaining work thereafter includes installation of aluminum rails, along with grooving the road surface for traction and harmonics. Then, cleanup and striping will be performed.

Landings Association Board President Milly Pitts-DiCicco presided over a session June 14 that included the Board, GDOT officials, and State Senator Buddy Carter and State Representative Ben Watson, among others.

We learned that at this point GDOT and the contractor are targeting late July for an opening date. However, as we have learned throughout this process, that date is subject to change. All schedules are contingent upon GDOT’s completing field inspections and providing approval for the next step to commence.

As always, as we gather additional information, we will continue to provide it.

The morning of May 25 was a perfect day in every way at the Kids’ Fishing Lagoon #56. The temperature was in the 70s with low humidity and no gnats.

Accustomed to their 9 a.m. feeding the last few weeks, some of the fish were coming to the surface looking for food just before the Derby began. The starting horn blew, and the fish began feeding right away on the crickets and worms the kids cast into the water. Based on the 123 score sheets turned in, the kids caught 615 Bluegills in 1 ½ hours! This was the most fish ever caught at a Derby. Even an Osprey caught a fish!

CCA’s goal was to coach more kids to catch at least one fish. This year 119 kids, including 40 beginners, caught at least one fish. This is the highest number of kids catching fish in the 18-year history of the Derby. You can view all the Derby photos by visiting The Landings Association’s website (www.landings.org) under Calendar & News > Photo Gallery, or by visiting the Association’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/TheLandingsAssociation).

All participants received a CCA fishing cap at registration. Many door prizes were awarded as score sheets were tallied at the conclusion. Following is a list of the fishing winners:

Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) believes it is important to teach young people to fish safely and successfully and to learn about the importance of conservation, and good sportsmanship.

We thank the following sponsors whose support is critical to enabling CCA volunteers to conduct the Derby and year-long fishing programs at the Kids’ Lagoon: Landlovers, Kiwanis, Bandy’s Bait Shop, GA Dept. of Natural Resources, Friends of Leonard DaCamara, Zebco, and The Landings Association. We also thank individual donors to our local CCA Chapter; First Responders for their presence at the Derby; and Bethesda Barnbuilders for their help constructing picnic tables and benches around this lagoon.

Much has been written about the CCA Derby and the CCA year-round kids fishing program benefitting kids and our community. It began 18-years-ago with one volunteer, Leonard Da Camara, and his vision.

According to DaCamara, he “would rather see a kid with a fishing pole in his hand than seeing a kid with a pool cue in his hand in a smoky pool hall.”

Now about 50 CCA volunteers are involved in this organized program involving fish stocking, fish feeding, fish population balancing, habitat enhancement, and other projects to improve recreational fishing. We ask anglers fishing at Lagoon #56 to release Bluegills. Legal-sized Bass may be kept or put into the holding pen for transfer to other lagoons. The holding pen is kept in the water in the mouth of the culvert near the Kids Fishing Derby tables not too far from the firehouse.

The Kids’ Fishing Lagoon is designated for kids. Adults fishing in this lagoon must be accompanied by a fishing child. We encourage families to make it a destination spot and bring along a picnic to enjoy. Fishing is a healthy sport for kids and a great way to spend time with another adult while enjoying the outdoors and catching a few fish. Who knows? This may turn into a lifelong hobby for one or more of your children, grandchildren, and even great grandchildren.

PROJECT

2013 Street Resurfacing and Repair Project

Dog Park Fence Replacement

Landings Harbor Storage Shed

COMMENTS

During the 2011 review of our roadways, Thomas and Hutton Engineering identified multiple areas needing repair throughout the community. The roads have an average lifespan of 15, 20, or 27 years based on road usage. Public Works creates of a list of roads to be repaired annually based on their longevity and condition.

The 2012 Dog Park Survey revealed that the condition of the fence was a major concern for users. During a subsequent Dog Park Committee meeting, it was determined that the fence’s replacement needed to be changed from its original replacement date in 2014 to this year. The current fence, made of galvanized steel, is in poor condition and makes it possible for dogs to get out of the Park. The new fence is approximately 1,130 feet and will be a wire weld fence on wooden posts, with 1x6 railings and approximately 6 feet high. The new fence will closely resemble the fence at Skidaway Farms.

The Landings Harbor Storage (tools, sailing equipment and liquor storage/staff rooms) was constructed in the early years of the Landings Harbor development. The deteriorating buildings have dilapidated roofs and interiors; they have exceeded their asset life. Some of the buildings are a danger and should be replaced immediately. The buildings will be replaced with two prefabricated buildings by Derksen Buildings, and will be divided into three rooms for needed storage. All demolition and interior work will be done by in-house crews.

STATUS

This project was bid and awarded to Groundworks Unlimited. This vendor has worked for The Landings Association in the past on streets and curbs, as well as performing for Chatham County and The City of Savannah. Work for this project is planned to begin the second week of July. Staff will update any road closures or delays created by this project.

Construction for the Dog Park Fence is planned to begin in June, as weather permits. The Dog Park will be closed for one week in the month of July in order to pour concrete for new benches. Otherwise, the Dog Park should have no further closings because of the construction. The new fence will be placed outside the current fence except at the back of the Park, where a temporary fence will be employed to keep the dogs contained during the construction process. Staff will update residents with the actual dates of closings.

The demolition of the Landings Harbor Storage Shed will began in June, as weather and marina schedules permit. The buildings, which are prefabricated, will be installed and interior work finished shortly after demolition. We do not expect for residents to be negatively impacted during construction.

The beauty of nature and a sense of security are perhaps the first things people think of when they describe life at The Landings. However, the amenities offered at The Landings are unsurpassed by most residential communities and are available to every resident.

One such amenity is the Landings Harbor Picnic area. This area, located adjacent to a picturesque backdrop of the Wilmington River, is equipped with tables and grills, and is reserved on a first come, first-served basis.

The area is perfect for large or small gatherings. Events where a tent or other structure is used require a $100 tent fee and an additional $150 refundable deposit. Smaller events are free of charge.

For more information about The Landings Harbor Picnic area or to check availability, call The Landings Association (598-2520) and speak to a Customer Relations Representative. You also can logon to www.landings.org. Once logged on, click on Reservations > Picnic Grounds > Picnic Ground Reservation to check availability and fill out a request form. Once the request form is completed, submitted, and received, a Community Relations Representative will contact you.

ValleyCrest Answers Your Azalea Questions

By Chris Johncjohn@valleycrest.comValleyCrest Landscape Maintenance

Q: Are azaleas poisonous?A: Azalea leaves and flowers are toxic when ingested by mammals and can cause abdominal and cardiovascular problems. Ingestion of a ¼ pound of leaves for a 125-pound mammal can be toxic and cause fatal symptoms. It makes you wonder how those deer eat all of the plants.

Q: How and when should I prune my azaleas?A: Prune azaleas just after they have finished flowering. Remove individual branches back to the spot where they join a larger branch. New flower buds for next spring’s bloom are set by mid-summer, and any pruning after mid-June could result in diminished flower production next year. Avoid shearing azaleas since it results in a proliferation of unhealthy, twiggy growth. Check azaleas for wilting or dead branches in late summer that may be the result of fungal cankers. These branches should be pruned back to clean, white wood that is not infected while the weather is dry to prevent the spread of diseases. Old azaleas that have grown too large for their space in your garden can be brought down in size by cutting the large branches back severely. New growth will spring from the stubs that are left.

Q: When should I fertilize my azaleas?A: Azaleas should be fertilized in the spring or fall; however, most established azaleas do not need any additional fertilizer. Natural breakdown of organic matter from mulch materials provide established plants the necessary nutrients to grow and bloom. If soil tests reveal a nutrient deficiency or pH problem, amendments should be scattered around the root zone and never placed near the base of the plant.

Q: How can I get my blooms to last longer?A: Most azaleas are subject to the fungal disease Azalea Petal Blight in the spring. This causes the flowers to turn brown and mushy while prematurely releasing themselves from the plant. Prior to temperatures and bloom production, a systemic fungicide should be applied to the plants to prevent fungal symptoms. Under ideal conditions, blooms could last as long as three weeks.

Q: Can I transplant my azaleas to another spot?A: Azaleas can be transplanted to another location within your yard at any time during their lifespan. Transplanting should be done in the spring or fall, and every attempt should be made to minimize stress to the plant. When digging the plant up, it is important to take as much of the root ball as possible, bringing with it the plants vital food reserves. The new location’s hole should be two-to-three times the size of the root mass, allowing plenty of room for the plant’s root system. Plant the azalea at a similar depth of its original location, and pack the dirt back around its root ball. Immediately water and continue to water the plant for several days to minimize transplant shock. Plants should start to acclimate to their new surroundings in a couple of weeks.

When many people look at The Landings’ 151 lagoons, the first word that comes to mind is beautiful, but for The Landings Association’s Environmental Manager Sean Burgess, the first word that comes to mind is functional.

“The lagoon system serves a multitude of functions for the community beyond aesthetics,” he said. “They were designed by engineers to provide proper drainage for the island.”

Of the 151 lagoons, 54 have water control structures whose primary function is to control water levels and storm water overflow. These water control structures have an estimated lifespan of 30 years each and are evaluated annually by Public Works staff in conjunction with the Thomas and Hutton Engineering Study of Lagoons, Dikes, and Structures.

Burgess said it is very important to keep a close eye on all 151 lagoons year-round, but especially during certain seasons such as summer.

“The summer season historically is the most difficult time to manage the lagoons, as plant growth increases with water temperatures,” he said. “In addition to increasing water temperature during the summer, other weather factors can immediately and dramatically impact a lagoon’s water chemistry.”

During the summer, it is common to experience heavy rainfalls. Burgess said this rain results in an increase in the amount of nutrient runoff from the turfed areas of the community. This nutrient-rich runoff causes an increased growth of filamentous algae, which is one of the most recognizable plants in the lagoons during this time of year.

“These algae mats grow on the bottom of the lagoon and trap gasses from the sediment, which causes them to float to the surface,” he said. “Herbicide treatments will remove the majority of the mats floating on the surface. However, these treatments are not intended to control any future infestations. In addition, herbicide treatments become less effective this time of year as plants reach the top of the water column. Submerged vegetation which has reached this stage is less likely to uptake the herbicides since they become semi-dormant in their growth.”

The Landings Association employs two spray technicians dedicated to lagoon maintenance. These technicians treat all lagoons within the community on a two-week cycle, with lagoons that have reoccurring problems being treated more often. If your lagoon is experiencing this summertime algae growth, please contact the Association’s Public Works Department (598-5509).

Burgess said another interesting occurrence affecting lagoons during summer months is higher-than-normal tides. “This results in brackish lagoons being inundated with saltwater,” he said. “The mixing effect of the saltwater rushing into the brackish lagoons causes the ponds to turn over, resulting in a depletion of available oxygen, a drastic increase in salinity, and the ponds turning a milky brown color with sediment.”

He added this dramatic change in the lagoons’ water chemistry causes many of the baitfish and some game fish species to die. “In instances such as this, staff clean up and remove all dead fish from the lagoons to prevent further oxygen depletion through decomposition,” Burgess said. “Oxygen and salinity levels in these lagoons will stabilize naturally.

“We want everyone to know we always are working to make certain our lagoons are both pleasing to look at and functional,” Burgess added. “Although some of the aforementioned seasonal impacts are beyond our control, when they occur, we do everything possible to get our lagoons restored to their former beauty as quickly as possible.”

For more information about The Landings’ lagoons or to report a problem with a lagoon near you, please call The Landings Association’s Public Works Department (598-5509).

CCA Helps Students Catch More Than Fish

By Chuck Smith CCA Volunteer

For the past two years, our Coastal Conservation Association Chapter Volunteers have enjoyed hosting high-performing students from Oglethorpe Charter School to a fishing outing at Lagoon #56, our Kids Lagoon.

Martha Nesbit, founder of this Charter School and recently retired Director of Instruction there, established a Talent Blitz program to reward students who “Do it right all year” with a choice of one of several trips. About 20 students choose fishing each year.

Nesbit organized the first fishing trip to a local farm. It was a disaster, as kids did not bring the right equipment, bait, and did not know how to catch fish. Here is what Martha said after this year’s CCA led outing at The Kids Fishing Lagoon:

“To have a group willing to supply the rods and reels, the pond, the bait, and the patience is like a dream come true. All the children enjoyed themselves, and no one back at school could believe that 17 kids caught 354 fish!”

She went on to say, “We thank you (nine CCA volunteers) for being willing to offer us what kids really seem hungry for -- time and attention from a caring adult! We think your fishing program is GREAT, and we appreciate the backers who allow it to continue.”

For some time, I did not know how to really think about what Martha meant. My first thought was it is easy to be patient and interrelate when kids are catching fish. My next thought was about the 70 CCA volunteers who work hard throughout the year to provide the opportunity for adults and children to spend quality time together at the Kids Fishing Derby. It had not entered my mind that for the Oglethorpe kids, we were both the coaches and the adults providing quality time to them. It was heartwarming when I realized we provided that benefit, too.

It takes a total team effort to provide quality fishing for children at the Kids Fishing Lagoon throughout the year. Thanks go to Landlovers, Kiwanis, Brandy’s Bait Shop, all of our Derby Sponsors and Individual Donors, The Landings Association, and 70 CCA volunteers who during the year make this all happen.

CCA believes it is important to teach young people to fish safely and successfully and learn about the importance of conservation, and good sportsmanship. Many sources support recreational fishing as a healthy outdoor activity.

Please contact Joe Tyson (598-8765 or jstyson@bellsouth.net) about CCA assistance for your group outings at the Kids Fishing Lagoon.
