Heceta Head Light Heceta Head Light is a lighthouse located on the Oregon Coast 13 miles north of Florence, Oregon and 13 miles south of Yachats, Oregon. It is located at Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint (a state park) midway up a 205-foot tall headland. Built in 1894, the 56-foot tall lighthouse shines a beam visible for 21 miles, making it the strongest light on the Oregon Coast. Heceta Head is named after the Spanish explorer Bruno de Heceta, who explored the Pacific Northwest during the late 18th century. You’re Selling What? I would like to add a “classified” section to the HOA newsletter, but I need something to list! The next newsletter will go out on December 1, 2013. If you have items you would like to sell, please send a description and picture if possible to sharik214@msn.com. If there are young people in the neighborhood who would like to list their raking, babysitting, dog walking, snow shoveling, etc. services I would like to include those also.

What’s going on with . . . The new bridge across the Greenbelt? We don’t have any additional “official” information, but if you take a walk east on the Greenbelt towards Glenwood you will see a sign about the bridge project. This sign is posted on a rock beach area about 1/8 mile from the west end of the Garden City Nature Trail. I’ve seen a surveyor and equipment at this spot a few times, so it appears that work is slowly continuing. Note that the sign says that the design is scheduled to be complete by January 2014, but no date is provided for the construction. What’s going on with . . . The Greenbelt through Lakeland Village? Mike Thomas reports on Greenbelt repairs: “I met with Colin Schmidt this morning, he is the Public Works Director for Garden City, regarding the Greenbelt repairs. The plan this year is to dig up and remove tree roots in different areas along the stretch from the river, past my house and past Pond 6. Next year they have added to their budget to do the same around Pond 5 up to where it connects to the Eagle gravel path. This work is scheduled to start August 27th.“ What’s going on with . . . Grace Assisted Living Project ? Mike Thomas reports: “I met with an Engineer, Contractor and Construction Superintendent this morning at the site of the planned Grace Assisted Living Project. The plan is to build that west of Foothills Christian Church and south of State Street. The benefit to us within this project will be the tiling or piping of the now open irrigation ditch where we get our water from the Boise Valley Ditch Co. If this project takes place this year, it would eliminate a big maintenance cost to Lakeland Village, as the area around the ditch is overgrown and would require a lot of work to clean it up next year. “ What’s going on with . . . The sidewalk to Walgreens? Mike Thomas received a note from Ryan Cutler, Project Manager for Capital Projects Department at ACHD. Ryan says that the negotiations with the Pierce family are ongoing, but there is no further update. Lakeland Page 4 Village HOA Newsletter Page 4 Lakeland Village HOA Newsletter

What do you like most about working with Lakeland Village HOA? The homeowners in Lakeland are extremely friendly, understanding about the challenges of managing a subdivision with so many ponds and large common areas, and the Board is very knowledgeable and willing to participate on committees. I’ve been the manager for Lakeland since January 2009, and I’ve been made to feel that I’m very much a part of the neighborhood. What are the most challenging situations you have come across? What to do about the irrigation water stained vinyl fence at the lighthouse entrance! I’ve learned more about pond maintenance, chemical treatments, etc., than I ever wished to know! Working with the state about water rights and water delivery systems has also been a challenge and provided an opportunity for me to learn more than I ever imagined. I’ve come to understand that “water is everything” in the Treasure Valley! What kinds of things would you like the homeowners to come to you with (versus just stewing about them)? As the HOA manager, I hope that folks feel free to come to me about anything and everything. We’ll work out together whether it’s an HOA responsibility or problem, and if not, hopefully I can point them in the right direction to get their concern addressed.

All About Leaves From Republic Services web site: The third week of November leaves in compostable paper leaf bags will be collected. For Lakeland Village, this falls on Friday, November 15. Tips for Autumn Leaves Clean-Up: Copied from MedicineNet.com In many parts of the country, raking leaves is a necessity during the fall months. Both for those unaccustomed to physical activity and regular exercisers, the dynamics of raking can lead to strain and injury to the back, shoulders, and wrists, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that over 76,000 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms, doctors' offices, clinics and other medical settings for injuries related to non-powered garden tools, including rakes in 2006. Raking requires a number of different activities, including twisting, bending, lifting, and reaching, that utilize several different muscle groups. Improper use of lawn tools along with the potential for tool-related accidents further compounds the risk of injury to the bones and muscles. You can ease the strain and pain of raking -- fall's most taxing task -- by taking the following precautions to minimize your risk of sustaining an injury: 1. Avoid twisting your body while raking. Use your legs to shift your weight rather than twisting your back. Throwing leaves over the shoulder or to the side while raking involves twisting movements that can overly strain the muscles in the back. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Use a properly-sized rake for your height and strength. Wear gloves to help prevent blisters on the hands. Bend at the knees, rather than the waist, to pick up items. Do some form of light exercise for ten minutes to warm up the muscles prior to raking. Try to vary your movements as much as you can to avoid overuse of muscle groups. Wear shoes with skid-resistant soles to minimize the risk of falling. Sturdy shoes can also reduce the risk of injuries to your feet. 8. Don't overdo. Raking is an aerobic activity - you may need to take frequent breaks or slow your pace if you are an infrequent exerciser. (It's better to live with the leaves tomorrow than with a sore back!) 9. As with any form of exercise, be sure to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. 10. When you're done, gentle muscle stretching can help relieve tension in the muscles. A hot bath can relax muscles. Lakeland Village HOA Newsletter Page 6
