HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!



Every one please be safe and respectful with your fireworks. Be courteous to your neighbors and safe with the children in the neighborhood.

FIREWORK SAFETY

** Be sure to have an adult light all fireworks no matter how big or how small.

** When you are done please put water on them to make sure they are completely out and no chance of them going off again or burning unsuspecting children who might come along and pick them up.

** Please do not play tag with bottle rockets or point any firework at people

** When using sparklers make sure an adult is supervising any children or teenagers who might have them. Even though they may seem harmless they are actually VERY dangerous. Kids can get burned or even have their clothes catch fire. So please be CAREFUL.

**We just want everyone to be careful and have FUN!!

I like to add a new Co-Captain for Center Hill Court, Shawn Whittaker. His address, phone number and email are

I would also like to thank everyone who showed up at our meeting on 6/25. Our numbers are increasing but still need more people.

Just a reminder, everyone please do not litter in neighbors?’ yards, the common areas or the areas between sidewalk and street. This is becoming an increasing problem and is very easy to solve. So please if you are out walking and feel the need to litter just take it home with you and dispose of it there instead. This will help make our neighborhood look nicer and keep it safer for the kids and animals that live here. Thanks

DID YOU KNOW!!

Removing Permanent Marker
From furniture?….
**Hairspray: Spray it on the spot and wipe with dry cloth or paper towel.

**Toothpaste: If hairspray doesn?’t work, than try toothpaste. Apply to spot and scrub with old toothbrush. Then wipe off excess with dry cloth or paper towel.

Mosquito Spray
Fill a spray bottle with Listerine. Use it wherever you have Mosquitoes. It doesn?’t take much. Spray around seating area, lawn, deck floor, door frames, window frames, picnic area, around food table, the children?’s swing area, standing water nearby, even in the dog house. And voila! The Mosquitoes disappear or are killed immediately. Don?’t leave home without it.

Too Salty?
If a soup or stew is too salty, add raw cut potatoes while cooking. The potatoes will absorb extra salt, then discard after cooking.

Eggs

**Cant remember if an egg is fresh or hard boiled. Just spin the egg, if it wobbles, it is raw. If it spins easily, it is hard boiled. A Fresh egg will sink in water, a stale egg will float.
**An egg is easiest to beat at room temperature. Take an egg out of the refrigerator about 1/2 hour before using. For light fluffy scrambled eggs, add a little water while beating the eggs.
**Add vinegar to water when boiling eggs. The vinegar helps to seal the egg.

Onions
To avoid " onion eyes " peel under cold water or freeze for 10 minutes before chopping.
