The Good Spirit Community Assoc. had its annual meeting on May 17 in conjunction with the Hamlet Informational meeting. It was decided that all residents would receive the Theodore Free Press in their mailboxes, courtesy of the Hamlet Council of GSA to give residents news of upcoming events & other news.
A new member to the GSA Community Assoc. is a new resident, Kellyanne Ostafie. We need new members. Retiring members are Elaine Park, Linda Moore & Carol Olsen. Present members are Lynn MacDonald, Charm Johnson, Richard & Jocelyn Winters & Kellyanne, as well as John MacDonald from the Hamlet Board. Please consider joining this group. We know that we have lots of volunteers to “help out” but we also need members on the executive.
The Hamlet Board is planning on improving the water flow within the community by increasing the size and/or number of culverts on Capalano Drive and Bayhill Drive, hopefully during the month of June. The Board will make every effort to notify residents so that cars can be moved appropriately. Once completed the Board will concentrate on improving the roads. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but this is necessary to avoid having to cut the roads as we have been forced to do in the past. Thank you for your cooperation.
There is a major concern about the number of very young drivers of golf carts, 4 wheelers and unlicensed motorcycles using the Hamlet streets as a playground. In many cases there is no evidence of proper training or safety equipment. Motorcycles were seen doing wheelies on one of our Hamlet streets. The real fear is that one of these underage drivers will get hurt or they may cause others to have accidents. Parents should be reminded that if this should occur it is very likely that the parents or grandparents will be held responsible. Some of these vehicles are very noisy and violate the noise bylaw for the Hamlet. Please be reminded that we want everyone to be “quiet in and quiet out”.
It has also been noticed that a number of cars/trucks drivers seem to feel that once they hit the main Capalano Drive they can pick up speed and make noisy exits. Please consider driving slowly and with great care anywhere in the Hamlet. This will be a topic for the June meeting of the Hamlet Board and all residents can expect to hear more on this subject.
Please be reminded that the blue recycling bins are to be used for paper and cardboard, cans, glass & plastic. Please take the time to flatten the boxes before they are placed in the containers. ALL packing; Styrofoam and plastics HAVE to be removed and placed in the HOUSE HOLD BINS. Cans may be put in the “glass” blue bin and plastic bottles & milk jugs in the plastic bin.
Good Spirit Market will start summer hours on Friday, June 26 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. They tell me that they have lots of ice cream & BBQ meats!!
The biggest lie I tell myself is ... “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it.”
