A HUGE THANK YOU: To the large group of people who helped clean up the damage by vandals
done at the pool, pavilion, fountain, and tennis courts the night of May 31. The
extensiveness of the damage indicates that it was done by more than one person
and took time to do. It would be interesting to know the reason it was done.
Could it have been because the facilities are nice and only available to QCPOA
members and their guests, could it have been done due to anger over some incident,
or was it done for just plain meanness. Observation is one way we might be able
to prevent such damage. If homeowners who live adjacent to the area looked out
their windows during the night and if each time we all drive by the facilities
we look for activities that should not be happening there and called 911 or
864-1810 to report those seen, it would be helpful. Fencing has been provided
and locks installed on gates. Each homeowner has been given keys to use the
facilities. It is very important to relock the gates after use. The Board of
Directors will be considering various additional security measures.

FLOWERBED: THEY'RE BAAAACK! Adult Japanese beetles are 3/8" long metallic
green beetles with hard, copper brown wing covers and are active for about a
6-week period. They like crape myrtle, rose-of-sharon, hollyhock, and other
plants. In addition to treatment with milky spores and pesticides, commercially
available traps attract the beetles, but probably do more harm than good as
they draw more beetles than are actually caught. Another effective way to get rid
of these pesky beetles is to pick them by hand and place in a pail of dish
detergent soapy water. They will die within 2 minutes and the eggs are
destroyed as well. Happy Gardening!
