From
Your Environmental Committee
~Kevin Green, Environmental Chair
The
3 Rs
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Let’s go green in Hillsmere.
At the beach
socials this summer, you will see lots of recycling bins. Remember the Anne
Arundel County challenge by recycling at least half of everything you throw
away. The Environmental Committee will help reduce the use of plastic
by providing recycled paper products, and plenty of ice water will be
available in coolers. The Environmental Committee will be meeting
soon. If you want to help of have any ideas, please contact environment@hillsmereshores.net
Mosquito Spraying Continues
The Maryland
Department of Agriculture began the 2010 mosquito spraying program
for Hillsmere on Wednesday, June 2nd. The program will run
through September 29th. Our assigned night of the week
for adult mosquito control services is Wednesday. Spraying
will occur anytime during the hours of 7:30 PM and 3:00 AM.
Please note that spraying will not necessarily occur at the same
time every week. While a technician will visit our community
every week, spraying will only occur if the appropriate conditions
are met. Please see the 'Standard
Mosquito Control Operating Procedures‑2010', for more information. Also
available is the
application for requesting to have your property opt‑out of the spraying
program. If you sent an opt‑out application in last year then you don't
need to do it again. Conversely, if you opted out last year but want to
be included this year then you need to contact the Mosquito Control
Section at the number provided on the application.

- Since December 2008, South River Federation Riverwatchers Kevin Green and
Jennie Gundersen have been conducting biweekly tests on Duvall Creek for
parameters including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and turbidity. The
results are used to track trends and alert the Riverkeeper to water quality
problems in the South River. They would like to expand the sampling to
include Lake Hillsmere, but there is no public access. If you are willing
to allow the Riverwatchers access to your dock for about 15 minutes every
other week, it would be greatly appreciated. You will be notified in
advance of sampling and the times are very flexible. Please contact
Kevin
or
Jennie for more information. See results at
http://www.southriverfederation.net/index.php/river-health/water-quality-data.

Good
Neighbors Program -
Do you know of someone who could use a helping hand? It might be a
neighbor and it might be you. The contribution could be as simple as
moving something heavy, replacing the batteries in a smoke alarm or offering
an unneeded item to someone who will use it. You can be on the giving
or receiving end of the process. Let us know. Call HSIA at
410-263-4456 today or send an
email to request or offer help.
Free Sheng Zhen qigong classes at the Hillsmere
Beach - Monday and Thursday mornings, 8 am
(weather permitting). Hillsmere resident Elinor (Eli) Gawel is offering an
hour long class in Kuan Yin Standing form of qigong. Similar to tai chi and
yoga, qigong (or ch’i kung) is a Chinese internal art form, a practice that
combines breath and movement in a moving meditation. Anyone can do the
form, since it can be modified for all fitness levels. Dr. Oz said on Oprah
that if you want to live to be one hundred years old, you should practice
Qigong. For information about the schedule and notices of cancellations,
please visit eligawel.com.
