The Windsor Hill Parkway Association held their annual meeting at the Cathedral of
Praise on April 6, 1999. The following are a few highlights:
The Parkway Association solicited bids for the ground maintenance contractor. We are pleased to announce the new contractor as Good News Landscaping. We are confident this company will provide us the best service possible.
Southern Irrigation was awarded the contract for the repairing the underground sprinkler system located at the front entrance of the Parkway. The system was installed to keep the plants and flowers well watered.
Yard Sale and Real Estate signs are only allowed on the street corners at the entrance and exit of the subdivision. Signs are prohibited in the flower bed and the median. Yard Sale signs must be removed within one day. Any sign in an unauthorized area will be immediately removed and discarded. Signs are not to obstruct the view of drivers.
831. The latest count of homes located in the subdivision once construction is complete in Plantation Pointe.
Within the last couple weeks, the white picket fence located at the entrance has been power-washed, the pot holes at the entrance (to include the huge one at the exit) have been fixed, and a new Bradford Pear tree has been planted. The tree lost a battle with a car. There are plans to widen and repave Ashley-Phosphate Road this year. Keep up-to-date with The Post and Courier for further info. Any information the Civic Association gets will be in the next issue of the Windsor Crier.
Curb Repair. The Parkway Association suggests every homeowner write the county and stress their opinion on the curb being fixed. For those who don't know, a car ran into the curb several months ago. This falls under the county and/or state jurisdiction. The county will not fix the curb since there are plans for repaving the road.

The Windsor Hill Civic Association held a community meeting on
March 4. Attending the meeting was Deputy John Gumbar from the Dorchester
County Sheriff's Department. He spoke about the role of the department
within the community. Some areas of concern are the theft of items
like power tools and bicycles and even car break-ins. Response time
is approximately 5 minutes. We can't stress it enough...know your neighbors
and report suspicious activity. Speeding on the Parkway will be enforced,
especially in the morning when young children are heading to bus stops.
The speed limit in the entire subdivision is 30 miles per hour.
Deputy Gumbar can be reached at 873-5111 or 832-0300.
Keep these numbers handy.
We now have committees forming for Crime Watch, Neighborhood Beautification,
Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Play groups, Yard of the Month and Holiday Decorations.

Gas Grill Checkup....Tune up your gas grill by taking out the burner and poking a stiff wire through the burner holes. Replace the burner if you see penetrating corrosion or split seams. Also clear the gas-inlet tubes of cobwebs. Test for leaky gas connections in hoses and fittings by brushing on a 2-to-1 mixture of water and dish soap. If you spot bubbles, there's a leak. Tighten the loose connections; replace damaged hoses or fittings. Paint on the soap mixture again. Also inspect igniter wires for frays; fix them with electrical tape. Need parts? Grill Parts Distribution carries parts for most top brands (www.gasgrills.com; 800/447-4557).
Termite and Ant Alert....Early spring signals the start of termite season and carpenter ant nesting activity. For subterranean termites, look for swarms and inspect your foundation for mud tubes. The termites use the tubes to get from their wood source (your home) back below ground to their moisture source. Chewed-up insulation and wood dust usually point to a carpenter ant nest. Move firewood and wood debris at least 10 ft. away from your home to keep termites and carpenter ants from gaining access to the house.
