MANAGER'S MESSAGE
Joan Luciano
A friendly reminder that Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday, March 8th remember to turn your
clocks ahead one hour “Spring Ahead” and welcome “Spring” on March 20th.
There were also some residents who complained
that their parking space was not plowed. I found this
to be true as I rode around. The reason is that some
of the residents have been less than cooperative
and do not have their cars moved. The plows cannot and will not plow the parking space when there
is a car on either side of the parking space. There
is a very good chance of doing damage to the cars.
That’s a liablility for the snow removal company and
also for the Association, plus I am sure that no one
wants their car damaged.
By the time this March issue is out every resident
of the tenplex buildings that were scheduled for reroofing and siding this year, have received a letter
informing them of this. The letters went out from the
Shady Oaks Management Office on February 10th.
The contractor hope to begin March 2nd weather
permitting.

I am actually writing this column on Monday, February 9th because the publisher needs to have all
the information well in advance of the actual printing
of the Oak Leaves. At this time I wish to remind the
residents that this is a fairly large community with
78 acres. The men in charge of the snow removal
should be given a chance to do their job before the
complaints come in. It is difficult for the Management Office to keep up with all the complaints when
the snow falls on weekends which it has. The office
is closed on the weekend. The night that the snow
started and the wrong information was given the
Meteorologists, Governor Christie declared a state
of emergency, and warned motorists to stay off the
roads. The crew of snow removal men who were
supposed to arrive here early could not, so there
was a slow start the first day. I personally saw an improvement after that. They were out the next night at
10:00PM after that snowfall had stopped and shoveled the walks and put down ice melt.

Dear Residents,
By now it should be apparent that the Township of Middletown has built a new acess road to the park next
door. This road primarily uses township porperty with the last twenty feet belonging to Shady Oaks. The road
exits out onto Shady Oaks Way near Firethorn.
The only notification the board of trustees received was a voicemail left at the office late on a Friday night.
The work commenced immediately the next day giving the board no chance to react. The township claims
they have the right to do what they did because it was an emergency situation. The only other access to
the park is by a bridge off West Front Street. The bridge has been deemed structurally unsound and had to
be closed immediately. There is an elderly gentlemen who still occupies the farmhouse on the property and
he has to be able to get in and out. The township also needs access for emergency and park maintenance
vehicles. The township has stated that the park will remain closed to the general public until the bridge is
replaced.
The board of trustees requested a letter of intent from the township requesting the longevity of the temporary road and the restoration of our property when the bridge was replaced. E-mails and phone calls proved
to be mostly fruitless, so we gave the entire matter over to our attorney. Our attorney has been working with
the township attorney. The intent here is to get the township to enter into an easement agreement. This
agreement would put into writing everything that the board of truestees has requested and protect the right
of ownership of our property. Updates will be posted as they come in.
Now I would like to talk a little about garbage. It has been brought to my attention that several people are
leaving their garbage out for pickup on non-assigned days. The days for garbage pickup are Mondays and
Fridays. Nobody should be leaving garbage out on any other day. The garbage sits there allowing the wild
animals access, who eat what they want strewing the rest all over the place. It is not fair to our maintenance
staff to have to clean up this mess.
While we are on the subject of wild animals, please do not feed them. I being an animal lover myself agree
that it seems like a nice thing to do to feed the poor deer and such, but what do you think happens after the
deer are done? The deer mice come next, entering our homes and setting up residency. What started out as
a nice thing to do is now an expensive and oft times difficult task to accomplish.
In closing: Please attend your meetings. It’s our community.

Shore Birds
If you’ve been reading my articles each month you know
my favorite subject is nature. Many animals are not as active
in the cold months, and many birds leave the area and go
south. There are other birds that migrate here from the northern
reaches to escape the ultra harsh winters there. This gives us the
opportunity to photograph different species. Unfortunately they
are not as colorful in the winter plumage, but it’s still a nice
challenge to ﬁnd them.
I especially like to ﬁnd the different ducks and shore birds
that arrive in winter. They are generally found in the inlets and
around the jetties. Some are quite difﬁcult to reach, but others
can be found along roadways and parking lots near rivers.
A long lens is very helpful. Focus carefully and have the
proper exposure. Fast shutter speeds will help keep them sharp
if they are moving in the waves. It is not an easy shoot, but can
yield great results.
That’s it for this month. As always you can email me with
any questions at [email protected]. Visit my site
at www.KirmsPhotography.com if you’d like to see more of
my images. Remember to keep shooting and trying to improve
your images, but most importantly, have fun with your camera.
