Landscape Committee After much anticipation, the area above Duvall and Stephenson has been planted with trees and the irrigation system is in. As of this writing, hydro-seeding has not been completed… this will be done in the near future. When the project is complete, K. Hov. will be responsible for the maintenance of this area for a period of 30 to 90 days, after which the Landscape Committee and the Board will do a walkthru for acceptance. Our landscapers will then maintain the area as they do the other common areas of our community. The gazebo/garden area next to the Lodge will be undergoing a few modifications during the next couple of months. The concrete walks will be sealed with a non-skid wet look. Some of the small plants will be replaced to add some color to the area. These modifications are being made to make the area more attractive and to make a visit to that area a more pleasant and enjoyable experience. If you haven't taken the time to view and enjoy the area you are missing an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Please keep in mind that there has been a trash container added and to deposit your trash in it. We want to keep the area clean for everyone's enjoyment. Library Committee While working in the library I heard a resident tell a visiting friend, "look at our library!" That's exactly right. This is your library. We are a committee of volunteers who give our time and energy in keeping the library in good order. You are providing the books and we appreciate you. We have been having an over-flowing problem lately. Many of you have donated several 2014 paperbacks. We have also received an abundance of hardbound books. We have made another major contribution to the Hemet library of the older 1980s books. We want to have as many current novels as possible. Even if your books are in the 1990s, that's 14 years old. Please check the copyright year and donate 2000 and up. Thanks. Our non-fiction section is filled with biographies and a broad range of interesting topics. We now have some room on the bottom shelf for different topics normally not accepted. A travel section was started and we could use more books. Check them out in the lower shelves. We never accept technical books and actually the downtown library doesn't accept them either. Our magazine rack holds three months of donated material. As of this writing please bring, November, December and January magazines for us to display. After reading them please be sure to return them for others to read. Paperback books are accepted dated 2010-2014. The pull out shelving was ordered the second week in January. They will be placed in the audio book section and the children's movies cabinet. This will improve making your selection and keep those doors on their hinges. There is a small chair to sit on as you pull out the shelf and look through them. We could use newer audio CDs and some newer children's movies. For information about other areas please refer to our library directory next to our return box. Committee member Char read Bad Monkey, by Carl Hiaasen Andrew Yancy, who has been fired from the Miami Police Department and Monroe's County Sheriff 's Office, has a human arm in his freezer. There is a logical explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/ shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might reinstate him, rescuing him from his current assignment as Health Inspector, known slangily as the "Roach Patrol." In true Hiaasen fashion, the story is peopled with wildly unpredictable characters: Yancy's ex-lover, his new lover, a fugitive from Kansas, the widow of the frozen arm, two real estate speculators, a Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen, a kinky coroner, and the bad monkey. And yes, you do find out how and why the arm ended up in the water. You'll never guess. | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | February 2014 | 14
