Storm Water Drain to be constructed near Cedar St. gate

You have all plowed through the puddle that accumulates on Seaway Drive.  Well. at last, a plan is in place to install a storm drain that will deliver the surface water to the storm drain,

Plan for new storm drain near Cedar St entrance.

To do this, a trench will be dug crossing Seaway, pipe will be connected to the storm water drain on the west side of Seaway.  The work will affect Beazer's construction; but that has been worked out with the construction team. 

This low spot became quite evident after Beazer finished the top-coating of our streets in 2017.  The surface became more impervious to water drainage. The DHMA board hired Lane Engineering to survey and design an appropriate design. 

Costs: (approximate)

Engineering, surveying, and design - $ 3,600

Construction and materials - $22,000

Expect some interruption of traffic patterns during construction.

Fire Alarm Incidents at 900 Marshy Cove

To: all Owners at 900 Marshy Cove,

This has been a stressful week for residents at 900 Marshy Cove.

Despite our best efforts, things happen.

 

Wednesday, November 24, 5:00 AM.

 

A circuit breaker that was connected to the air compressor in the attic popped. The air pressure in the system  dropped and triggered and alarm. The alarm sounded for almost an hour before the fire marshal arrived to silence the alarm. 

Normally, the fire alarm system sends an automated to a fire monitoring service. The monitoring service determines the seriousness of the incident and calls the fire company.

 

So, what happened? Our fire alarm system did telephone a message to the monitoring service. However, the service had a problem at their end and did not see it.  They should have received a low air pressure warning well in advance of the alarm; but, they did not. Of course, they were also unaware of the evacuation alarm.

 

Saturday, November 27, 12:05 PM

 

ARK, our fire system service, was notified of some problems and arrived around 11:00 PM.

After they left, at 12:00 AM, the alarm sounded. This time the monitoring service alerted the fire marshal and the alarm was silenced upon their arrival.

Ark returned around 1:00 AM to assess the situation.

As a precaution, Sentry arranged for a fire watch.

 

So, what caused the alarms? The compressor was short cycling which caused an inrush current higher than normal. That caused the breaker to pop. After that the air pressure dropped. Bingo! Alarm party in the lobby.

Ultimate Cause: The pressure switch on the compressor that controls the cycling of the compressor failed.  We expect the replacement parts on Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

In the meantime, we have a fire watch patrol on the fourth floor.  Note that all unit sprinkler heads are operational. Only, the attic is affected. There are smoke detectors in the attic that are connected to the main fire system which provide a degree of protection.

So, What happened on Wednesday Evening?

 All,

Incident: Wednesday, November 3, 2021; 7:25 PM - 7:30 PM

Three teenagers took a fire extinguisher from the marina, discharged it on several parked vehicles. They also turned on lights on a power boat in the marina.  No other vandalism was observed or reported.  A police report was filed.

Here’s is my short report. 

(This was sent to the DHMA Board of Directors on Thursday, November 4, 2021 12:44 PM)

• I received a call from a 900 resident reporting a siren at the marina. The resident thought that a boat alarm was sounding.
• I went down to the fire safety box at slip 48. The door was open and the fire extinguisher was gone. The siren is local and does not trigger a call to any other system. It goes off when the door is open. The red light flashes and The siren will activate.
• I closed the door and the siren and flasher stopped.
• As I walked around the building toward Seaway, I was looking for some evidence that the extinguisher was discharged. I always assumed that some kids were into mischief as it happened several years ago.
• As I walked around the building, one of our residents was coming out to walk his dogs. I gave him a brief description of events.
• On his own he walked around the marina to discover and notice that the slip 43's motor boat’s lights were on.
• As he walked around the creek side of the building, he noticed white extinguisher dust. He then called me. 
• He and I walked the marina west ward toward the creek. When we approach slip 43. We saw that every power switch was turned on and showing green. He got on the boat and turned off the circuits on the boat. No evidence of any damage was observed. We called the owner. 
• We continued to walk the Riverwalk.  White dust was observed on the front of about six vehicle covering grills and windshields.
• Continuing toward Cedar St, more white powder was evident. Nearer to Cedar St., the spent extinguisher was found in the rain garden.
• Mike S., and Carlos E. joined us. A call was placed to the Cambridge Police. The CPD officer arrived within 10-15 minutes.
• I went to the surveillance recorder to capture video of the incident.
• The recordings revealed that three youths entered the marina running at 7:25 PM from the East side. Two were shorter followed by a taller teenager.  The second one may have been a girl, the other appeared to be boys. All three were wearing hooded sweatshirts. The second one appeared to have a full face covering white Halloween type mask on.
• The tallest of the three stopped by the fire extinguisher box and  opened the door. The siren and flasher went off. He casually walked away. The others were out of camera range and probably on the boat.
• The tallest teenager walked back to the box, and removed the extinguisher.
• He then ran off toward the creek. He then started to discharge the extinguisher. On the cameras that face the 900 parking lot, clouds of powder can be seen. It is hard to see anymore than silhouettes and clouds of dust. The distance (~ 300 Ft) and darkness limit detailed observations.
• Unfortunately, I was unable to capture a recording of their egress or entrance to Deep Harbour. Four entrance camera recordings were reviewed starting at 7:00 PM until 8:00 PM. (They kids may live here in DH.)
• Video clips will be passed on to the Cambridge Police
• The actual incident lasted about 5 minutes. No permanent damage is known at this writing. The fire extinguisher will need to recharged.

Good evening,

Last year we started a covered youth program, collecting and distributing almost 200 comforters, blankets, and throws to youth in Dorchester County. So many children and families were so excited to receive a "cover". We even had young adults (22 & 23) in line requesting a cover and we did provide them one. Another lady asked for one for her elderly wheelchaired bound father. We are continuing this outreach this year. Please share this flyer. We will release the distribution date(s) at the end of November to avoid confusion. We distribute in Cambridge and the North Dorchester area. 

Best,

Events in Dorchester

  

Here is what's coming up in Dorchester County on Maryland's Eastern Shore.   GOOD NEWS Be part of a world-class endurance race!  Join in on the action of IRONMAN Maryland, one of the world's most grueling endurance events, which happens right here in Dorchester County in September! The IRONMAN Maryland triathlon challenges participants from all over the world to show their grit by making it through 140.6 miles all in one day: A 2.4-mile swim in the Choptank River, a 112-mile bike ride around Dorchester County, and a 26.2-mile run (the same as a full marathon!) in Cambridge. On race day, Sept. 18, spectators are welcome to cheer on the triathletes along the courses (where safe), at the transitions of swim to bike and bike to run at Gerry Boyle Park at Great Marsh in Cambridge, and at the finish line at Long Wharf Park (High and Water Streets). (Here's the Spectator Guide.) Sign up to volunteer – hundreds of volunteers are needed on the days leading up to the race, on race day, and after the race. Triathletes who come here from all over the world rave about our community spirit, and volunteers are a huge part of that! More volunteers are still needed for everything from packet stuffing to registration to aid stations. See the open slots and register here. Be ready to be patient on race day, since some roads will have delays to allow for the triathletes on the bike and run courses. Plan accordingly by checking out the course maps. VOLUNTEER FOR IMMD Great blue heron at Blackwater Refuge - Photo by Jill Jasuta Nature watch for September!  Here's what's happening in September with the flora and fauna around Dorchester County: Seashore mallow is blooming now; look for lovely pink blooms in and around the marshes.  Ospreys are heading back to Central and South America. We'll see them again in March. Waterfowl numbers will gradually increase, including egrets and herons.  The happy yellow faces of tickseed sunflowers will be blooming. Cattails will go to seed.  Songbird migration peaks in late September and early October. Toads are abundant.  A great place to see all this is Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. Experience the four-mile Wildlife Drive by bicycle or car, or take to the water and go kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding on the water trails. (For bike, kayak, and SUP rentals, try Blackwater Adventures.)   PLAN YOUR TRIP TO DORCHESTER COUNTY Dorchester County in the spotlight We love it when magazines and other media help celebrate the things that make Dorchester County a wonderful place to visit and to live.
