I have been informed that someone was mugged at gunpoint Sunday 

(12/8/13) night in the West End area of Cambridge (Oakley St).   A 

second mugging occurred last night (12/9/13) on Glasgow.  So, those of 

you who live in Cambridge  - heads up.  Try not to walk around by 

yourself (this makes  you more vulnerable).  Be vigilant when  you are 

out and about in the evenings.

Yes. They appear to be unrelated.  First  one occurred approximately one in the morning. Second one about 8 p.m. Both victims were alone. Nothing was taken in the attempted robberies. Have a suspect in second incident. Additional officers have been assigned to the West End at the present time and will continue to be there.

New sidewalks along Route 50 will improve pedestrian safety.

STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION REPLACES SIDEWALK ALONG US 50 IN CAMBRIDGE

(October 8, 2013) –The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) is beginning a $660,000 project to upgrade concrete sidewalks along US 50 (Ocean Gateway) from the US 50 Bridge over the Choptank River (Frederick C. Malkus Bridge) to Crusader Road in Dorchester County.  SHA will begin construction on Wednesday, October 9 and be complete by mid-December, weather permitting.  

In addition to new sidewalk, SHA will install Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) and Countdown Pedestrian Signals (CPS) at the US 50/Maryland Avenue and US 50/Cedar Avenue intersections.  The APS/CPS pedestrian crossings will improve pedestrian safety in Cambridge.  

During construction of the new sidewalks, crews are permitted to work from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Motorists can anticipate single-lane closures along US 50 during construction.  SHA will use variable message signs, as well as cones and barrels to direct traffic through the work zone. 

 SHA’s contractor for the work is Metro Paving, of Hyattsville.

This project was made possible with funding from the Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act of 2013, which maintains crucial system preservation investments and allows Maryland to activate long-term strategies to invest in Maryland’s transportation systems. By putting people back to work in the transportation industry with $4.4 billion in new investments in the next six years, Maryland is creating hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity and providing Marylanders with the transportation infrastructure necessary to grow and prosper for decades to come. 

While SHA and its transportation partners work hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones, each driver needs to actively modify his or her driving style to help prevent crashes. Stay alert and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers.  Slow down and don’t follow too closely. Safer driving. Safer Work Zones. For everyone!

PLUMBING REPAIRS- DO NOT FLUSH!

Plumbing Repairs will be made tomorrow, Tuesday, September 25.

Please do NOT use any drains in your condo from 11:00 AM - 12:00 noontime.

DO NOT flush toilets
DO NOT use dishwashers or clothes washers
DO NOT use sinks
DO NOT use showers or bathtubs.

If you do use your drains, the contractor will get soaked.

The leak is just above the door that leads from the lobby to the garage.
You will notice a puddle that has been growing for the past two weeks on the garage side.

I really doubt that we all will remember this request.

It would be a good idea to place a bunch of post-it notes near all of you sinks, etc.
I'd hate to be the one that flushed the toilet on the plumber.

Maybe you should go out for lunch tomorrow.

Pets: Please pick-up

There have been reports that some dog owners are not picking up.

Please note that Cambridge has an ordinance that addresses this.

Power Washing 900 Marshy Cove

Power Washing began this week.

The work began on the marina side of the building.

Only half the unit owners had removed their screens which means that their windows a were not fully washed.

The Cedar Street side of will be cleaned later this week.

You may still have time to remove your screens and balcony furniture. 

Power washing on the fourth four.   50 feet up. Not a job for me!

NO SOLICITATION!

This past week a young man gained entry to 900 Marshy Cove.  He proceeded to solicit residents door to door selling newspaper subscriptions.  He claimed that he had permission by using a resident's name.  Of course, he did not have permission. Nor can anyone grant permission as it is a Condo Association rule.

The individual also gained access to 700 Cattail Cove when he continued his solicitation. When asked to leave, he boldly refused claiming he had permission.  He did cease after the threat of police intervention.

Please refuse entry to the building to any non-residents no matter what their story!

Independence Day

Hopefully, you noticed the flag on the pole and the flag display over the 4th of July holiday. Many thanks go out to Billy Ray who donated the flags.  We also have a Maryland State flag that will be displayed once the mast line on the second flag pole is replaced.

GATE CODES: How it will work after July 8.

The letter sent to owners by TPW Condo Management did not cover all of the options available for Deep Harbour gate access.

Please note that the current numerical "community codes" will no longer work.

There are three options for entry:

1. As always, you may use your remote gate opener. You can buy one from TPW for $50.00
2. If you like, call Dan at TPW to register your own personal code. (The last four digits of your phone number is convenient.)  
3. Your phone number can be associated with your name listing in the Gate Box. Visitors scroll down the name listing. When they call you your phone rings and you can "buzz" them through the gate by pressing "9". Ask Dan for specific instructions. (Be sure to test this.)

Landlords need to communicate this information to their tenants. It has been suggested that tenants should be provided a remote gate opener. Perhaps a deposit should be collected to secure its return.

  

OK, Here's the catch. This policy will be worthless if you share you personal code with the pizza guy or other vendors. Your personal code can be just as easily shared as the old codes. The "1776" code was seen scribed on the men's room wall at Snapper's. That could be your code next week.

  

Insist that you delivery people use the gate box. That way you know that they have arrived.

DO NOT give your personal code to anybody outside your circle of trust.

Please note that TPW is contracted by the Master Association and therfore is reponsible for the gates.

900 Marshy Cove is managed by Sentry Condo Management. They have no responsibility for the entry gates. Please do not call Todd.

Pool Issues:.....Falling Down?

Time has taken a toll on the pool's apperance.

 The Pergola was damaged by wind last October. You can see it is dramatically out of plumb.

Is the a safety hazard?

General repairs also need to made.  Here the baseboard has separated.

Other items:

• The curbing on the Kiddie Pool needs painting.
• The rain gutter on the pool building has plants growing in it. When was it last cleaned?
• The cover for the Grill needs to be replaced.
• Caulking is needed all round the pool. 

Please forward any other observations to mc900@comcast.net



Paver Progress! Repair Approved by Master Board

Good Morning and Happy 4th.

Work has been approved to repair the missing pavers along the Cambridge Creek-Walkway.
Some other repairs will made around the marina.

(no direct cost to 900 Marshy.)

This has been a safety hazard  and cosmetic defect for some time. 
See you by the pool,
Uncle George

Have any other issues to report?
Let's try to get them fixed!

Grafitti!

Although minor, the presence of scratched messages in the elevator are bothersome.

On both elevators someone has scratched "x46" or "# 46" repeatedly on the fire instruction sticker.
On the east elevator someone has scratched "anti-Christ".

Experience has taught us that this invites more of the same.

Please report any acts that deface the property to management or the Board of Directors.

Best Weather Page for Choptank River and Cambridge

If you sail or motor boat this site has it all.

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=38.642617906345265&lon=-76.20941162109375

It combines the standard forecast with the marine forecast.

It also includes the real-time observation station located at the Sailwinds bulkhead
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=CAMM2

CAMM2 reports every six minutes with wind, water level, and temperature data.
You can also navigate to historic records if you like that sort of thing.
Pretty cool...

That white box at the end of the pier is the NOAA weather station. As you leave the Cambridge Creek look to your right.

Garage Door FIXED!

It appears that the garage door is now operating correctly.
I was able to use my remote from 30 feet away.
Moving the antenna and replaceing the receiver seems to have solved the problem.

What has been your experience?  Is this resolved?

What other items need attention?

Garage Door Update

The service technician was here on Wednesday.
Problems were possibly caused by signal interference from Verizon WIFI. Apparently, garage door manufacturers use a similar radio frequency as WIFI.  This appears to be well founded as a Google search will reveal multiple cases.

Since the remote controls work consistently from inside the building where the antenna is located, the antenna will be relocated outside the door. Give it a few days for the service people to install the new anttenna.

BTW, I found that aiming the remote at the right or left edge of the door seems to work better.  Probabaly, just luck???  Try it. Maybe it will help.

Garage Door Opener

Garage door test

Everybody seems to have the same problem a with remote operation of the garage door.
This has been a common problem for all of us for many months.

Yesterday, I spent some time testing the garage door opener at 900 Marshy Cove.
Basically, The door failed to open about two-thirds of the time.
Several distances from next to the door to 15 feet away yielded the same result.
Interestingly, when the remote was used inside the garage, it worked 100 % of the time from distances of up to 40 feet. 
The same result was observed with a second remote.

Sentry Management had our garage door contractor send a technician to check it out.
A new radio receiver has been ordered. The new receiver will be installed within a week.

My theory is that the metal door acts as a shield which partially reduces the strength of the signal. A more sensitive receiver should overcome this problem.

The other condo building on Cattail Cove has an identical system that works consistently.

Stay tuned!

Fire Safety- What are we lookng at?

Fire Safety - What are we looking at?Neighbors,

Here are some photos to help you distinguish the fire system components in our building.
The smoke alarm system: There are at least four in each unit. When one detects smoke, all will sound. The button is for testing.

These do not call for a general building evacuation alarm.

The smoke alarm has a battery for back-up. Batteries should be changed once per year. Change all of them at the same time. Mark the date of replacement on each with a Sharpie pen.

THE CONDO ASSOCIATION BOARD HAS ARRANGED FOR FREE REPLACEMENT OF OUR BATTERRIES. AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DATE IS FORTHCOMING.

The classic sprinkler head: These work on heat. They are a simple mechanical device. When the metal element melts, the water sprays.

When the water sprays, a general a evacuation alarm will sound. They are not connected to the smoke alarms.

The Strobe and Sounder will indicate a general evacuation alarm. If this goes off, you will hear it.

There is no way to silence it from your condo. The strobe will flash along with every other strobe in the building. Leave the building. This is the real thing. If you don't smell smoke, leave anyway. If you smell smoke it may be too late. Modern fire systems rarely falsely alarm. The fire company is on its way, when this trips.

The Fire Alarm Pull Box will sound a general evacuation and call the Fire Department. If you know a fire has begun, don't wait for the sprinkler head to do its job. Get help. Pull the box. These are located next to the stairway exits. Unlike the old pull boxes, there is no glass to break. Look around the building, Do you know where the closest one is? Where are they in the garage?

Fire Extinguishers are located in the hallway. Look for the one nearest your condo. If you need it, use it. It is usually better to pull the alarm box first then grab the extinguisher. You will also find several of them in the garage. Get familiar with their locations.

Elevators are not an option during an evacuation alarm. The elevators go straight to the lobby and lock-down. Read the sign near the elevator.

A Fire Extinguisher in you condo could save the day especially in a kitchen fire. Mount one close-by and where you see it everyday. Here is one mounted in the pantry closet, four steps away from the stove. You can buy these at Home Depot, Lowes, or any hardware store. Read the labels. Ask for help. An "A,B,C" Tri-class should be appropriate for most areas. Extinguishers with a "10- B C" rating is recommended for kitchens. (Don't get one too heavy too lift.)
"A" is for paper, wood, & trash. "B" is for liquid fires like grease. "C" is for electrical fire like a toaster fire.
see http://www.kiddeus.com/utcfs/Templates/Pages/Template-66/0,8070,pageId=4559&siteId=384,00.html for more information.

Please note that these comments are based my understanding of the building's fire system which may not be exact and also based on my understanding of common fire safety practice. When in doubt consult an authority on fire safety or the local Fire Marshall.

Sentry should be considered a knowledgeable source to answer your questions.

Fire Drill, Saturday, June 8, 2013, at NOON

Be ready to participate in 900 Marshy Cove's Fire Drill.
Fire drills can make a significant difference if ever the "real thing" occurs.
It is important to move quickly and calmly to the meeting location.

This is also an opportunity for our "first responders" to learn our building and our special needs.
Individuals that may need assistance have been identified, and will be helped appropriately.
The goal is 100% safe evacuation to a safe location.



The efficiency of the plan and its execution will be critiqued by the Fire Department, Sentry Management, and the Board of Directors.

Be sure to join us at the pool for refreshments and sandwiches.

Some simple things to remember:

• DO NOT use the elevators to evacuate the building.
• DO use the staircases at the end of each hallway.
• Assemble at the "designed meeting area."
• Be attentive to directions from the Fire Department Representative.
• Read the correspondence from Sentry Management for more details.

AT OUR LIMIT! Whatta Fish Story!

Monday, May 6, 2013, was Rockfish day for us.

Seven people, Seven fish!

By regulation, this time of year all Rockfish must be over 28 inches with a limit of one per fisherman per day.

 All eyes on the fish.  Smile for the camera.

Captain Perry Davidson of Excalibur. 

One of the few good men that can clean fish and tell jokes at the same time.

http://www.excaliburcharters.com/default.asp 

Three measured 36 inches each and tipped the scale at approximately 17 lbs.

All caught fish measured over 30 inches.

After catching our limit and recovering the lines, two more Rockfish took the bait but, of course, were released. (They could have been yours.)

Despite the overcast weather, the attitude was sunny all morning.  We were back on the dock by 10:30.

Next year maybe you will join us. 

IS THERE ROOM FOR MORE EVENTS LIKE THIS ON OUR CALENDAR?

The "Rockfish Seven". left to right.

Jack, Leo, Rob, George, Phil, Lynne, Terry.

We didn't get the names of the fish.

However, Bubba is still out there.

See you at the dock,  Uncle George

Honeywell Introduces Wi-Fi Connected Thermostat For Do-It-Yourselfer

Honeywell recently introduced Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat, a connected thermostat that allows consumers to regulate their energy usage and home comfort from their smart phone and provide an opportunity for design-focused homeowners to customize it to match or accent their home décor.

Featuring a touch screen display, the Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat is equipped with mobile and email alerts that put homeowners in control by notifying them when their home is too hot or cold, the humidity level is too high or too low, when the filter needs to be changed, or if the home loses power or internet connectivity.

With Smart ResponseTM technology, the thermostat learns how long it takes to heat and cool a home to ensure it is always at the temperature homeowners want, at the time they want it. The Instant Away feature allows homeowners to balance comfort and energy savings: on your way out the door, simply tell the Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat when you will be back and it can start saving energy instantly while you are gone.

The Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat’s innovative design, 60 percent smaller than other connected thermostat models, is a first in the do-it-yourself market. For more information, read the press release
