Thank You to the volunteers who came out to help with the Beach work day. We had a terrific turn out, and perfect weather; what a great community effort. We raked, weeded, trimmed, picked up trash, tidied up the play areas, and placed gravel at the port-o-john entrance. Watch for our next work day – we’ll do some planting & landscaping.

President’s Message

Hello Hillsmere,

Please take heed of the mosquito spraying that is to take place. The schedule is in this issue,

as well as an opt-out form for anyone opposed.

I would like to thank all of our volunteers who make Hillsmere such a great place to live.

Without their dedication and hard work all the amenities that make this neighborhood the

best in Annapolis would cease to function. The effort they put into our community makes it

great.

Having nothing else to say, I would like to share with you, with thanks to Shel Silverstein, a

fitting poem for the end of winter.

Upcoming Dates To Remember:

Easter Egg Hunt — April 4

Piers & Harbor Meeting — April 14

Sea Breeze Submission Deadline — April 2o

Community Yard Sale — April 25

Board Meeting — April 30

HSIA Community News and Events

2015 Membership and Stickers – Be sure to get 2015 stickers for your vehicles and trailers if

you plan to use community facilities this year. This ensures our wonderful facilities are used only

by Hillsmere residents, owners and their guests. If you didn’t make it to Come And Get It Day,

it’s not too late to get your stickers. Simply tear the membership form out of this issue and mail it

with photo copies of your vehicle and trailer registrations to HSIA, P.O. Box 3485, Annapolis, MD

21403. We will send your stickers in the mail. If you also want voting rights in the Association,

please include a $20 dues payment.

Boat Ramp Keys – Did you get your 2015 boat ramp key yet? If not, just tear the

membership form out of this issue and mail it with your dues and boat ramp key

payment. Be sure to remember to include photo copies of your vehicle and trailer

registrations for stickers. Remember to get your key now! Keys are not available on

short notice. Please allow a few weeks processing time. Thanks for your understanding!

Easter Egg Tree Contest – Thanks to Leslie Donaldson’s wonderfully decorated

Easter egg tree, Hillsmere proudly announces the 7th Annual Easter Egg Tree Contest!

We invite children (12 years old and under) to guess the number of eggs on Leslie’s

tree. Walk or drive by Leslie’s tree at 425 Hillsmere Drive and ponder how many eggs

are on the tree. You can email your guess to EasterEggTree@hillsmereshores.net or

leave a message on the 24-hour voice mail at 410-263-4456. Include your name, age, address, and

how many eggs you think are on the tree. The winner will receive a $25 gift card to a local ice cream

store. Last year’s winner was the Sonneville brothers and their guess of 4,355 eggs was the closest

guess to the actual number of eggs on the tree! The deadline for the contest is Friday, April 10.

Spring Yard Sale – Clean out your basements, closets, or attics and bring your

treasures to the beach for our spring yard sale. The sale is scheduled for Saturday,

April 25 from 8 am to noon with a rain date of Saturday, May 2. Space is on a first

come-first served basis. No reservations are required. Residents are responsible for

cleanup of their area. Please take home your leftovers. Don’t fill the trash cans at the

beach with unsold items. Set up of your tables should be on the grassy areas, not on the parking lot.

Many residents “piggy-back” on the community sale and have yard sales at their homes. Please take

a little extra time and bring your items to the beach. It’s a great way to meet your neighbors and it

helps contain the crowd in one area, which also helps with the sale of

everyone’s treasures. Thanks in advance!

Mosquito Control – Hillsmere will once again participate in the Maryland Department of

Agriculture’s Mosquito Control Program. Regular surveillance and control of adult mosquitoes will

(Community News continued on page 4)

(Community News continued from page 3)

take place from June 1 to September 30 anytime between 7:00 pm to 2:30 am, Sunday through

Thursday nights (a night of the week will be assigned to us). Spraying for adult mosquitoes will be

done only if a Maryland Department of Agriculture Employee determines it necessary. Spraying

will not be conducted during rain, in wind speeds exceeding 12 mph, or temperatures above 89

degrees F. Most residents support this program; however, if you prefer to opt-out of spraying at

your property, you can elect not to participate. You can find on pages 16-17 of this issue , MDA’s

Objection to Adult Mosquito Control Policy Statement and a Request For Exemption From Adult

Mosquito Control Services.

Dumpster Days – Dumpster Days are scheduled for our community on Friday and Saturday,

July 17 and 18. More information will be in future issues of the Sea Breeze.

Calling all Graduates of Hillsmere – Do you have a graduate you would like to

recognize in the Sea Breeze? Just email the Editor at sebreeze@hillsmereshores.net

or call the 24-hour voice mail at 410-263-4456. Give us the name of your graduate,

school, degree earned, and date of graduation. We’ll proudly announce your

graduate in a future edition.

Security

Now that the warm weather is here please watch your speed as Hillsmere

is an outdoor enthusiast playground. The marina is posted at 5MPH, side streets 25MPH, the main

road at 30MPH and be mindful of you speed around school bus stops. The beach is a pet free zone so

please follow the rules; this is for the safety of all. The marina is a great place to walk dogs but

remember be respectful towards others and pick up your dog’s waste.

Please lock your cars, homes, sheds and anything valuable as the warmer weather brings bad elements

out also. Remember to call the POLICE first then security for all suspicious activity as residents are the

first line of defense fighting crime in our neighborhood, you can remain anonymous when calling The

security guard has no trespassing/soliciting signs for sale; the uniformed look gives it more credibility.

vehicles that do not display a Hillsmere sticker on community property will be towed at the owner’s

expense The security officer patrols the school bus stops so let your kids know he is there to help

Greetings from the Pool Committee! Can you believe that we are only 8

weeks away from pool season?! Summer cannot get here fast enough!

Bathhouse Renovation

The bathhouse renovation is officially underway! Say goodbye to the tired, old pool

bathrooms. Come Memorial weekend, the bathrooms will be ready to show off their new

look complete with all new fixtures, toilets, sinks, showers, partitions, electric, lighting,

flooring and paint. We will also be adding some additional features like baby changing tables

and a family stall/changing room. We are extremely excited about the bathhouse “facelift”

and can’t wait to see the results.

Membership:

If you haven't already signed up for the 2015 season, don't delay! Membership forms can be

found in this issue of the Sea Breeze or www.hillsmereshores.net under “Pool.” Please send

in completed forms and payment to: HSIA, P.O. Box 3485, Annapolis, MD 21403.

Please note that all Hillsmere residents must be current HSIA members in order to join the

pool. HSIA membership forms are also found in the Sea Breeze and online.

Pool Committee Meetings:

Do you want to get more involved with the pool? Join the Pool Committee!

We meet on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 7pm in the Community Center – the little

white house on top of the hill adjacent to the pool property at 119 Great Lake Drive. We are

always looking for new ideas on how to improve the pool and welcome anyone interested in

getting more involved.

Suggestions:

We are excited to make 2015 the best summer yet! We are always open to feedback and con-

structive criticism - let us know your thoughts, concerns, questions, ideas, etc.

2015 BEACH RESERVATIONS

The 2015 Beach calendar is open for reservations. To reserve the large pavilion, please

contact the Administrator at 410-263-4456, ext 2, or send an email with the date and time

requested to admin@hillsmereshores.net. A refundable $200 security deposit is

required. You will need to provide the time and duration of your event. You can reserve

the

pavilion for the entire day or for as little as two hours. This allows more residents use of

the space for parties. Please note that reservations are not final until you receive a

confirmation from the HSIA Administrator. If you are serving alcohol at your party, you

will need to obtain an Anne Arundel County One-Day Liquor License. Signed application

forms for a liquor license must be obtained from HSIA and submitted to the County as

least two weeks prior to the event.

Piers & Harbor News

SPRING!

The calendar, Daylight Saving Time, and the Burning of the Socks tell us that spring has arrived,

despite the persistent cold temps, snow flurries and other lingering effects of a record-setting cold

winter. And with spring comes the 2015 Boating Season!

Fair Winds and Following Seas to those slip holders who have decided to not renew their slips for

2015, and Welcome Aboard to our new slip holders who have been patiently waiting for the

opportunity for a slip permit. The Slips Committee, led by Bill Barker, has been diligently working to

offer upgrades to current slip holders and new slips to those on the Wait List. Thank you all for your

prompt responses and cooperation with the Slips Committee members.

As you start preparing your boats for the season, be sure to affix your 2015 Marina sticker on your

boat so it is visible from the bulkhead or piers. Sighting of Marina stickers is the quickest way for

Security to confirm that boats are authorized to be in the Marina.

Water service at the Marina will be turned on after the threat of freezing weather is over, likely to be

in mid-April.

Winter Operations

Winter brought record freezing temperatures, snow, gusty winds, extremely low tides, and more

extensive ice in Duvall Creek, the South River and the Bay than has been experienced since the late

1970’s. Thank you to Bill Anderson who operated and monitored the 17 sea-fan ice-eaters at various

locations in the Marina. While the ice did build up quickly, we do not believe it was ever thick enough

to do any damage to the marina. Two areas of the marina were iced over fairly heavily; a lesson

learned for spacing and operation of the ice-eaters in the future. And a big “Thank You!” to the

volunteer work party who removed the ice-eaters on March 22! While there is no immediately

apparent winter damage at the marina and boat ramps, if you see any damage, deficiencies, or

inoperable equipment as you return to your slips or launch your boats, PLEASE LET US KNOW!

Contact: Steve Vanderbosch marina@hillsmereshores.net or 410-267-6978, 0r Norm Johansen

normjohansen@gmail.com or 443-822-8945

Gate Key Cards

Gate key cards are required to operate the marina gate after dark. Over time, people moving and

giving up slips at the marina have failed to return the gate key cards, and HSIA and P&H Committee

have not been diligent about following up. As a result, we ran out of gate key cards, and have had to

add new cards to the system so some existing and new slip holders can get key cards. Hopefully, by

the time you read this, the new cards will have been programmed and been made available to those

needing them. In the future we will be keeping track of key cards. Meanwhile, we will be calling some

slip holders to confirm (1) if you have a card; and (2) the card number (the first 5-digit number on the

back of the card). Your cooperation is appreciated.

(Piers & Harbor continued from page 14)

Sand Spit Condition

Once again, winter has been unkind to the Sand Spit, with gravel sinking into the subsurface, leaving

muddy and soon-to-be-dusty areas. PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY! The P&H Committee will be discussing

ways to address the surface conditions. Speed bumps have been acquired and will be installed this

spring after the gravel surface is addressed. We also hope to have the driveway entrance potholes filled

when the surface dries out a bit. Meanwhile, in an effort to beautify the Marina and Sand Spit, look for

new Marina signs and perhaps some landscaping improvements at the Sand Spit this spring.

Guest Passes, Parking, Towing

Guest parking passes issued last year for 2014-15 are still valid. If you did not get Guest Passes or need

additional ones, contact the HSIA Administrator. Each new slip holder is offered two Guest Passes,

and can have more if needed. Be sure your vehicle displays your HSIA vehicle sticker, and that your

guests display a Guest Pass in their vehicles. The HSIA Board has authorized towing of vehicles from

the Marina parking area if the vehicles do not display an appropriate sticker or Guest Pass. The HSIA

Security Guard will be manning the entrance to the Marina on a periodic basis this year.

Unauthorized vehicles will be towed in 2015!

Pets on the Sand Spit and Piers

Reminder: Marina Rule 8.15-

8.15. Pets are permitted in the marina areas; however, County law prohibits pets

“running at large” and requires that pets be on leashes. While pets may be unleashed when on their

owners’ boats, pets should NEVER be unleashed and running at large on the Sand Spit or on the piers.

Pet owners who wish to exercise their unleashed pets at the small beach at the end of the Sand Spit do

so at their own risk, and must maintain control of their pets. Pet droppings must be picked up and

removed by the pet owner or deposited in the pet waste stations.

P&H Meeting Time and Place

The P&H monthly meetings are normally held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the

Key School Science & Library Center (the building closest to Carroll Drive), Room 102. All Slip

Holders, Ramp Key Holders, Wait Listers, Kayakers, Boat Parkers, etc. are encouraged to attend.

VOLUNTEERS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED AND WELCOMED!

Getting P&H Emails?

Monthly notices of P&H Meetings are sent out by email. If you are not getting these emails (usually a

day or so before the meetings) please let the Chairperson P&H know at marina@hillsmereshores.net .

Welcome Committee

The Welcome Committee has been busy for the past few weeks replenishing

welcome bags to hand out to ten new Hillsmere neighbors. I was delighted that

nine new residents came to “Come And Get It Day” and were put on the list to receive their bag. As in

the past the Pool Committee offered a free one day family coupon. In addition, Piers and Harbor

provided us with an informational sheet of their activities. If you know of someone who has moved in

to our neighborhood (owner or renter), please contact me at kjmcfadden@comcast.netwith their

name and street address.

It’s says on the calendar that spring is here but I am not sure if that was a misprint! Maybe by the

time you receive the April newsletter, it truly will be spring. With the change of

seasons come more new households to our neighborhood. I hear from new neighbors how friendly

people are in Hillsmere. Let’s keep that up by saying “Hi” to fellow neighbors, old and new.

It is a pleasure to serve on this committee along with our dedicated team,

BUILDING PERMITS

An HSIA Building Permit is required: Every time an Anne Arundel County Building Permit is

required. The responsibility of obtaining an HSIA Building Permit does not fall on your builder, it

falls on you.

The following items are needed to obtain an HSIA Building Permit:

1. A copy of the Anne Arundel County Building Permit.

2. A copy of the construction location on the property when required by the County.

3. Cash or check in the amount of $5.00 made payable to HSIA, unless we sent you a certified

letter. If a Certified Letter is required, the cost is $20 for the permit.

4. Mail to HSIA, P.O. Box 3485, Annapolis, MD 21403

Permits are required for construction of new houses, new sheds, additions to houses or sheds,

retaining walls, piers and bulkheads. When in doubt, or if you have any questions, please call the

HSIA Building Permit Chairperson, Bill Anderson, at 410-279-1666.

PET WASTE STATIONS

You may have noticed that 5 pet waste stations have been installed on community owned

property. Two in the area surrounding the Community Pool, two at the Community

Marina and one on Beach Drive at the Kayak Park. The Property Committee is looking to

install additional stations on Green Spring, Beach and Harbor Drives.

If you walk your pet in Hillsmere please pick up after your pet and use the waste stations

where available. Not only is picking up your pet waste the law, it minimizes the impact of

our canine friends on the environment and our Community.
