Orchard Picking
  Ensure your orchard pickers remove the stackable bins 24 hours after service. With the fall season, comes high winds. No one wants to see the bins strewn across the streets! Please follow-up with your vendors.
 

New Landscape  Company
  You may see some new personnel around the community. The Board has engaged Roberts Lawn Care to maintain all common area landscaping. Randy (owner) has been in business for ages around the Ventura County area and we look forward to a prosperous relationship. “Welcome aboard Randy!” If you have any common area concerns, please contact Real Support.
 

Exiting the Community
  Steps have been taken to reduce the obstructed view on the north side while merging onto Bradley Road. The foliage has been trimmed and will be reviewed in the coming weeks.
 

Brown Bear
  On September 23rd, 2009, there was a sighting of a large 200-pound brown bear in the orchard, at Balcolm Canyon Road, Somis, near the 15-mile per hour sign, as you turn. Animal Control was out shooting bean bags at the bear, trying to heard him out into the open, for them to trap and relocate, but, were unsuccessful. So watch out! You might see this bear in our area too!
 

Front Gate Directory
  Real Support is still missing information from some homeowners for the directory.

Any homeowners who have not already done so are requested to give Real Support:
- Their name(s)
- Address
- Telephone number
- Email address(es)
(Circulation of the directory will be restricted to the Board and the management company ONLY).

A telephone call to Real Support (310-457-0019) will get you a form to complete or you may simply email the information to Bryan Chan or Helmut Martinek of Real Support.
 

Brush Clearance
  If you have not already completed your brush clearance, the time is now. Fire season seems to have become a year round event. And in the case of multiple fires in California, we cannot be assured of saving our houses.

By reducing this fire hazard, property owners give the fire department a defensible space that allows firefighters to get between an approaching wildfire and the property. That space can mean the difference between saving a home or having a fire overrun it.

The Ventura County Fire Department is strongly recommending you increase your brush clearance from 100’ to 200’ if any of the following apply to your property: House located on/or at the top of a slope, old brush not recently burned, east or south facing aspect, wood shake roof, limited access for Fire Department, ornamental shrubbery next to house, older construction, historical fire pattern in your area, heavy chaparral fuels, limited or private water supply, or more than 5 miles from a Fire Station.

Following is some information provided for the Fire Department to guide you in wildfire preparedness:
