DURBIN CROSSING POND PRESS Happy 4 th of July, Durbin Crossing Residents! Our yards are bright green, and it seems like the only way to maintain control is to drag the lawn mower from the garage every other day. Our shrubs are blooming, and the ponds are growing as well. Besides the submersed aquatic vegetation that the grass carp are munching away on, the most common form of pond vegetation is algae. These species photosynthesize like terrestrial plants but take their nutrients from the water around them rather than directly from the soil. They are rootless, but can anchor themselves onto the pond bottom or other substrates. Some algal species are filamentous, which means their cells form long strands as they grow. This often looks like bright green hair on the bottom of your ponds, but sometimes filamentous algae ends up forming large mats on the surface. Filamentous algae is often unsightly but can become a hazard for the pond if it completely covers the surface of the pond; effectively stopping oxygen from penetrating the water's surface, which can create anoxic conditions. Other algae species are planktonic, which means that the algae cells are free floating within the water column, or are individual cells that are contained within a mucous. This can turn an entire pond an opaque green, but other times can be limited to a colorful film or scum on the water s surface. That being said, algae is not only green: it can also be red, orange, or blue-green in color. Planktonic algae blooms can cause problems if they 'crash' after large rain events or even just at night, which drops the oxygen levels in the ponds and can lead to fish kills. How can you help to keep the ponds throughout our community looking and performing at their best, you ask? The best way to combat algae is to make sure to limit the amount of nutrients going into your ponds. Don t fertilize within 20 ft. of the ponds edge, angle lawn mowers up, so that grass clippings go into the yard rather than into the pond, and make sure to follow best management practices to avoid over-watering your lawns. We assure you we that we are equipped to identify and treat all of the above forms of algae. We are committed to keeping all 58 of Durbin Crossings ponds in top condition! We wish you and your family a SAFE and HAPPY 4th of July!

Florida is the lightning capital of the United States and it is ranked as the number one state for deaths due to lightning. Did you know that lightning kills more people in the U.S. than hurricanes and tornadoes combined? Lightning travels at the speed of light, while thunder travels at the speed of sound. A single bolt of lightning can discharge about 100 million bolts of electricity and can travel as far as 10 miles from a cloud. It does not need to be dark directly overhead. If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance! It has been known to travel through clear air and strike 10 miles from the storm like a bolt out of the blue! Lightning is actually 5 times hotter than the sun s surface! With all of this knowledge and critical information we d like to remind you of Durbin Crossing s thunderstorm policy. If we hear thunder or see lightning, we will close the facility for 30 minutes. Every time thunder is heard or lightning is seen, the clock is restarted to 30 minutes. This is strictly enforced for your safety! No life is worth the risk! *Stay tuned to our Twitter feed for up to the minute pool closures and information; @dcamenities Crisp, B. (n.d.). When Lightning Strikes. Retrieved June 26, 2016,from http://pasco.ifas.ufl.edu/fcs/lightning.shtml www.durbincrossingliving.com 30

Ice cream cones White cake mix with blue food coloring or pre-made blue cake mix Bake the cake mix according to the box. If you re using white cake mix, then simply add some blue food coloring to the mix before baking it. Fill each cone about 1/2 full of batter. Place cones in the cups of a cupcake pan or on cookie sheets. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 15 to 18 minutes. www.durbincrossingliving.com For the buttercream frosting you will need: 3 cups of powdered sugar 1/3 cup of softened butter 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 2 tablespoons of milk (more or less depending on the consistency you want) An electric mixer Large zip lock bag Frosting tips (optional) To make homemade butter cream frosting, simply combine the softened butter with the powdered sugar. Once it is mixed, add in the milk. Using either an official frosting bag with a fancy tip, or just a zip lock bag with the corner cut off, pipe the frosting onto the top of the cones. I even think you could be REALLY smart and buy some pre-made white frosting if you re short on time (aren t well all?). Add a red cherry on top and you are DONE! 31
