Attention: GATE CODE CHANGE! May, 2019

To all Deep Harbour Unit Owners

In the past year, the DHMA Board has initiated a more robust security and safety program.  Completing the fence line, limiting non-resident pedestrian access, and vehicular traffic has all been a first step in the process.  More projects are in the planning stage. We will need to balance cost with effectiveness when deciding on our next steps.

Included in an upcoming mailing is a notice regarding gate code changes, remote openers, and new pedestrian gate locks.  If you are a landlord, please convey this information to your tenants. The DHMA does not communicate with tenants directly.

Please note that as the gate code is abused more commonly, we plan to change the code more frequently.  In other words, get a remote opener.  Residents should not be using the code to enter.  They are available from Sentry at our cost of $27.00.

Also, encourage visitors to use the call box. Is your listing current?

Best Regards,

Deep Harbour Master Association Board of Directors

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notice to all Deep Harbour Unit Owners:

·       Gate code change

·       Remote transmitters aka clickers

·       New keypad locks on pedestrian gates

Gate code change

From time to time, the universal gate code is changed. Over a period of months, trespassing increases as the code ages.  To deter trespassing, the code will be changed more frequently in the future. As of May 1, a new code will be in force. The old code will be disabled on June 1, 2019.

NEW CODE …# NNNN (will be mailed to owners)

Passing this code to non-residents breaches the security of our community. Do not give it to outsiders like pizza delivery drivers.

Visitors should use the call box to enter. Each resident’s name is stored in the call box with an associated speed number.  Give your visitors and delivery drivers the speed number, not the general access code.

Not in the call box?   Call Sentry at 410-221-0398 ext 57100

Remote transmitters

Each resident should have a remote transmitter also known as a clicker. A clicker makes life easy. Code changes do not affect clickers. Entry is easy and safe when raining, snowing, and in the dark. These are available at the Sentry Office for $27.00. 

New Key Locks on Pedestrian Gates 

Pedestrian gates are now equipped with keypad locks.  The entry code will be  N-N-N-N (mailed to all owners) which will be effective on May 15.

Afternoon everyone;

 

First and foremost I would like to thank everyone for their understanding and patience’s as we have worked towards completion of the High St. rehabilitation project.   The contractor has been very good in keeping at least one lane of traffic open during the day, and the entire street opens in the evening and weekends.  They have worked diligently to accomplish this and I think their effort has proven successful as we have not received any complaints, and to the best of my knowledge neither has City Hall and/or Council.

 

On Monday the bricklayers will begin to lay the street pavers, which is going shut down the west side of High St. from Popular up to and including the west side of the Church St./High St. intersection, and will remain closed 24 hrs.    In consideration of this DPW and the contractor has been working to explore what would work best in trying to keep traffic flowing most effectively while the bricks are being laid.  In consideration of this please see the map below indicating what traffic changes will take place beginning Monday morning.  The contractor has developed a signage package to assist in directing motorist around the area.  Brandon has sent this information and map to business owners earlier today, posted it on the City webpage as a traffic alert and news item which both get sent to individuals that have opted to receive those alerts, and he’s posted it on Facebook and Twitter.  At this time we are not certain how long it will take to install the pavers on this side of High St., but anticipate it to be three or more weeks.  Once they have had a couple of days so we can gauge the progress, we should be able to calculate an approx. timeline, as we all know the weather will play a big factor in this as well.

 

If you have any groups, organizations, etc. that you email public announcements please don’t hesitate to forward this as well.   

 

Thank you and hope you have a great weekend.

 

Odie   

 

Cambridge Creek Clean-up, Volunteers needed

Hello Neighbors!

Reply to deepharbour@comcast.net 

    We are arranging a Cambridge Creek Clean-Up date for 20 April 2019 starting at 1:00 PM.  We have picked that date and time because Earth Day is Monday the 22nd of April and low tide on Saturday is at 12:21 PM.

Meet in front of 900 Marshy Cove. Bring rakes, nets, and any other tools that may be helpful in collecting debris.

   The clean up would be supported as part of a ShoreRivers Project Clean Stream which takes place throughout the Choptank River watershed.  ShoreRivers will register the Deep Harbour/Gen III site as a cleanup under ShoreRivers which enables them to provide bags and gloves for the volunteers.

    ShoreRivers has linked us with Cambridge Public Works and they will come and pick up the trash bags on Monday the 22nd.

    To make this happen all I need is a head-count so I can let Matt know how many gloves to provide.  So this is an RSVP.  Please let me know if you can support the clean-up event by COB Friday the 5th.  If you have other potential participants please forward this request to them...but I will need an RSVP...

    If the weather looks good we could even do a cook-out with burgers and dogs and beer at the end of the clean-up …  Thoughts?

Thanks,


Mike S.

- Every year we organize what's called Project Clean Stream throughout the Choptank River watershed. Our coordination efforts usually include more than 15 sites from Cambridge up to Greensboro, and all in between. We have registered the Gen III site as a cleanup under ShoreRivers which would allow us to supply bags and gloves for all the volunteers.

Many thanks for the correction.

Everyone should go to her blog site for some fantastic photographs.

Most of which were taken here at Deep Harbour.

Good Morning George,

I just saw your post on the Scaup, and wanted to kindly let you know they are actually Lesser Scaup and not Greater Scaup.  There are slight differences between the two, I attached one of my favorite Scaup charts that really helps with ID.  The top of the head is peaked at the back for Lesser, peaked at the front for Greater.  Also Lessers will sheen a purplish/greenish tint on the head, Greaters only greenish tint. 

I hope I’m not offending you.  I am avid birder; I’ve loved the winter ducks here on the creek, it’s been quite special.  If you check out my blog, you’ll see a couple ‘rare’ ducks we’ve had as well that have come & go frequently.  (Long-tailed Duck, Golden Commoneye – both don’t normally come so far inland esp. around population).

Did you see the Eagle on the Osprey platform last month?

If you have any questions about any birds, please feel free to email me.  I would be more than glad to help with IDs.

High Spot, Stoked aka Yardbird, & Rock Lobstah CLOSE!

Source: WBOC News

CAMBRIDGE, Md. - Three downtown Cambridge restaurants have closed their doors for good just weeks apart. Some people in the area say the restaurants will be sorely missed.
On Thursday, construction workers got down to business on High Street just feet away from the now shuddered restaurant known as The High Spot. The paper posted on the front door declared it "permanently closed."

Around the corner, RAR Brewing business owner JT Merryweather says it's sad to see a fellow businessman go. Patrick Fanning owned The High Spot as well as the restaurants Stoked and Rock Lobstah.

"I would say I was shocked actually," Merryweather said.
But business owners like Merryweather and Downtown Cambridge's Executive Director Katie Clendaniel say the closures are nothing to worry about. Clendaniel says a new retail store now occupies the old Rock Lobstah. There's also growing interest to rent space in both Stoked and The High Spot.

"There are very good things coming," Clendaniel said. "It's a really great sign for downtown because it means that people are interested and will continue to invest here."

WBOC tried reaching out to Fanning about why he closed all three restaurants but were unable to get comment.

The building owners said in a statement they were disappointed to see Fanning go, calling him a "pioneer restaurateur."

Who are those small ducks visiting Deep Harbour?

For weeks, I have wondered where these little guys come from.  They appear to winter here.  

What are they called?  

Why don't they fly to Florida? (I would if I could fly.)
