Storm Water Drain to be constructed near Cedar St. gate

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 19 Dec 2021 16:14:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 29 Nov 2021 21:57:00 +0000

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?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 15:55:00 +0000

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.

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.

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.)

September is Underground Railroad Month

For the third year, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has declared September as International Underground Railroad Month, recognizing the state as the "most powerful Underground Railroad storytelling destination in the world." It’s also the month when Harriet Tubman made her first attempt to escape slavery (Sept. 17) and when Frederick Douglass self-liberated himself in Baltimore (Sept. 3). One way to mark the month is to take the road trip known as the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway. This self-guided, scenic driving tour includes more than 30 sites, many of them with outdoor markers or interpretive signs that share the story of that place. Find out more at HarrietTubmanByway.org.

Volunteers Needed – October 16, 2021

“Bike the Underground Railroad To Bring Harriet Home”

In the fall of 2020, a beautiful statue of Harriet Tubman stood outside the County Courthouse for just one month. Now, there is a community fundraising movement to commission a permanent statue to be installed specifically for Dorchester County by the same Emmy and Academy-award winning sculptor, Wesley Wofford, who also designed the traveling monument.

As part of this fundraising effort, we are organizing a bike ride on October 16, 2021 that will follow part of the Underground Railroad (UGRR) on two routes (25 miles and 43 miles) through scenic marsh and farmlands, with rest stops at historic sites. More information can be found at biketheugrr.com.

Cambridge City Manager, Leaving onJuly 31, 2021

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 11 Jul 2021 21:05:00 +0000

City Manager Patrick Comiskey has declined to seek renewal of his employment contract following the current contract’s expiration on July 31.

Comiskey, who was hired following a search in 2018, is Cambridge’s second city manager, having served in that role for three years. Comiskey’s time as city manager has seen many transitions for Cambridge, with development and growth occurring across the city, according to a press release from the city.

The Mayor and Commissioners of Cambridge will discuss the city manager vacancy at an upcoming meeting in July.

A review of requirements will occur with regard to naming an interim city manager, as well as requirements for search committee members for the hiring of a permanent city manager.

900 Marshy Cove Condos -Residents' Bulletin Board

One of the reasons that I have been using a Google hosted blog site is the automatic emails sent to subscribers like you. It has been a great resource for us. I post a notice and it does the email work for me. Currently, 31 people subscribe to the site. Subscribers can also turn on or off their subscriptions. Best of all it is free.

OK, so what is the BAD NEWS? Google is dropping the email utility called FeedBurner in July. It is (was) the email subscription manager for Google blogsites. RSS, if you know what that is, is still available.

Needless to say; but, I will say it anyway, "THIS SUCKS!"

Sorry folks, no more emails for now unless I find another easy way to do it. Owners will receive email blasts, but tenants will not.

What you will need to do is set the 900 Marshy Cove blogsite as one of your "favorites". We ain't going away yet.

Water heaters? Expansion Tanks?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 24 May 2021 19:40:00 +0000

Our water heaters are nearing 14-15 years old. All water heaters should be considered for replacement before they fail. Owners are liable for up to $10, 000 of water damage caused by failures originating in their units.

Water damage is our greatest concern. When replaced, be sure that the expansion tanks are properly pressurized to 55 PSI. This has been the cause of all failures to date. Ask the installed to write the date and pressure on the tank.

Update: Several water heaters have been replaced in 900 Marshy Cove.

Some have been direct tank-type replacements, cost: ~$2200.

Three have been tankless water heaters: cost ~$5000

They both work satisfactorily, The tankless unit takes up less space possibly allowing some additional closet storage

Original Equipment: A.O. Smith Model Number: GPDT 50L 100

This unit is a 50 gallon potable water heater that services both heating and tap water.

To all owners at 900 Marshy Cove,

The research has been done for you.

Q: What do I do if my water heater starts to leak?

Q: Who is qualified to replace it?

Q: Have they done it before?

Q: What is the replacement unit model number?

Q: What about a tank-less water heater?

Q: How much will it cost?

Q: Is there a way to detect a leak as soon as it happens?

Q: What if I am away?

A Tribute to Shirley Moore

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 08 May 2021 19:32:00 +0000

900 Marshy Cove Condo Association

It is with deep sadness, that we report the passing of Shirley Moore. During her six years as president, she accomplished much toward the betterment of our association. From 2010 until 2016, she served the association as president and continued to serve on the board of directors until 2020. Under her leadership, the association successfully delivered results improving safety, appearances, and cost management.

Shirley was successful because she cared about our community. She served us well.

We will miss her good company and her warm personality.

Shirley Moore, Past President and Secretary

Some selected accomplishments that were completed with her leadership

Beazer installed and paid to have the garage ceiling insulated keeping the first-floor units warmer in the winter and cooler in summer.
The BOD was able to hold condo fees except for two increases due to Master Association increases.
Landscaping: A sprinkler system was installed in the entry garden and the soil was enriched and fertilized. Knockout Rose bushes were planted in the parking area garden. A flower garden in the front of the building was established which we enjoy to this day and the marina walkway was lined with hydrangeas and hostas.
Security cameras were installed covering all doorways, the lobby, and the garage. The stairwells were upgraded to keypad locks to prevent intruder entry.
An amendment limiting the rental units to twenty in our building was passed. A second amendment limiting ownership to two units was also approved by the owners. Specific procedures governing condo rentals were defined.
A changeover to LED lights in the building’s common areas has saved the Association $6000 annually since March 2015.
Annual maintenance included: Carpet cleaning in all common areas, Smoke detector batteries changed, Power washing of garage floors, and inspecting of heater expansion tanks.
Our emergency evacuation policy was improved to handle the needs of our elderly and handicapped residents. An evacuation checklist was developed. A successful mock fire drill and lunch with the firemen won much praise from the Fire Department.
A Residents Committee was initiated to welcome new residents and to give them a contact on their floor. General materials are given the residents that explain the rules of the building, use of the elevator boxes for communication; formal communications and notices would be found on the box next to the mailboxes.
Four chairs were purchase for the lobby to replace the old ones.
An Annual Christmas Party enjoyed by residents and promoting a sense of community in the building.

With our heartfelt sympathy to her family,

The Board of Directors & Residents of Marshy Cove

Attic Sprinkler System Rebuilding

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 11:40:00 +0000

ARK Fire Systems will begin work on our Attic Sprinkler system on Monday, May 3.

You should have noticed the galvanized pipe stored on the West side lawn.

Work will continue for four to five weeks.

This is difficult work. All of the pipe in the attic will be removed and hauled off.

The workman will need to carry all the pipe by hand up and down the stairway.

During the workday, the fourth-floor residents will hear footsteps as the workman walk the rafters.

The end result will be a properly pitched piping system that will properly drain water after testing. Galvanized pipe should extend the life of the piping for many more years than we have experienced to date.

Hopefully, this will eliminate false alarms caused by pin-hole air leaks in the system.

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

Reminder: Annual Meeting of Owners, May 8, 2021, 10:00 AM.

A Microsoft Teams link will be sent to all owners.

Garage Lights Upgrade.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 15 Apr 2021 14:20:00 +0000

Residents:

Many thanks for your cooperation with LED lighting improvements in the garage. You will notice a significant improvement in the brightness.

New Security cameras have been installed in the garage. As you leave the lobby look-up. These supplement the entrance and exit cameras previously installed.

Pipes for the Attic sprinkler project have arrived. They are stored outside as they would not fit inside the garage. Work will begin shortly.

Galvanized Pipe should last longer

38 20 foot pipes

Stored near garage exit

Upcoming:

· Attic sprinkler system pipe replacement

· Power washing of garage floor

· Addition of external cameras and upgrading surveillance hardware

· Expansion tank inspection program. Goal: 100% verification, ZERO FAILURES in 2021. (two failures this year- $ 5,000 in damages paid by owners.)

Face Coverings are mandatory in our common spaces!

We have had seven Covid-19 cases to date. All have recovered.

Stay Healthy, Your Board of Directors, mc900@comcast.net http://900marshycove.blogspot.com

Vaccine Access broadens!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 12:26:00 +0000

We need your help to spread the word on two important issues related to COVID vaccinations.

Extra doses standby list: As vaccine supply increases and expands across numerous clinics, individuals often schedule appointments at multiple sites and fail to cancel their appointment(s) at other sites. This results in an increasing number of “no-shows” and “extra” doses that we do NOT want to waste. We need your help to ensure no vaccine is wasted. If you know someone who has not yet been vaccinated, lives within 45 minutes of the Civic Center, TidalHealth Peninsula Regional or TidalHealth Nanticoke, and could get to the clinic to be vaccinated at the end of the day, please share this link with them to be placed on a “standby” list: COVID-19 Vaccination- "Stand-By" Call List Survey (surveymonkey.com). We will use this list to identify individuals for extra doses, text them of the potential availability and ask them to come to be vaccinated if there are additional doses from an open vial at the end of the day at one of these clinics.

Numerous appointments available at the Wicomico County Civic Center via massvax.maryland.gov – Tell anyone you know that the Civic Center is open with appointments! If you have family, friends, neighbors who are 60 or older they ARE ELIGIBLE for vaccination! Go online and register, state YES I AM ELIGIBLE and pick your time for an appointment. If someone needs help call the state call center: 1-855-MDGOVAX.
