The Caper – June 2021 Edition

After a bitterly cold (and record breaking) start to the summer, we think Mother Nature is ready to get back on track. Looks as though we’ll be safely leaving those temperatures in the 50’s in the rear view mirror. Let’s sure hope so. In this month’s Caper, Jeff talks about the great job our teachers have done throughout this past year. It’s been a crazy and challenging time for them and for our students. He also talks about being mindful of the Cape and Anne Arundel County rules. Have fun but be lawful and safe. Also, if you don’t use Facebook and want updates on CSCIA, please add your email address to our website. You’ll be emailed when new things are a foot! Be sure to read Jeff’s full message, it’s outstanding.

Ryan, our Town Manager, will be celebrating his three year anniversary this month. It’s hard to describe the positive impact he has had on the daily comings and goings within the Cape. In his message, as we get ready for the 4th of July, he talks about firework safety. He also wants to remind you that our quarterly membership meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 27th at 7:30pm.

In community group news, Goshen Farm is having their raffle for a chance to win 2 Daylite lifetime 8ft kayaks and paddles. The drawing will be in July. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at https://goshenfarm.org The Garden club’s virtual plant sale, that was held in May, was another success. Don’t forget to visit capegardenclub.wordpress.com to see what’s coming up in June and beyond. Cape Conservation Corps has another great article submitted by Stacey Wildberger on their recent Native Plant Swap. Check it out. Don’t forget that they meet every Wednesday @ 1037 Lake Claire Drive for their invasive weed pull. More details on their website: https://capeconservationcorps.org

We are excited to announce the 4th of July Parade and Celebration will resume this year! A float entry form and more details are in the Caper. Don’t forget that the Strawberry Festival is scheduled for August 28th. Signup form are in this month’s Caper so please make sure you review them and submit.

Community Mosquito Program Spraying 2019

MD-dept-agricultureWe all know the kind of nuisance a large number of mosquitoes can be to our quality of life. In addition, they can carry many diseases like West Nile encephalitis, eastern equine encephalitis and St. Louis encephalitis.

Due to the large mosquito population in the Cape, we will once again be participating in the Community Mosquito Spraying Program by the Maryland Department of Agriculture for 2019. “The Department’s preferred mosquito control strategy is the reduction of mosquito larvae numbers by source reduction, biological control agents or use of biological insecticides. Adult mosquito control, by ultra-low volume (ULV) application of insecticide, is conducted using aircraft or truck-mounted application equipment in residential areas for nuisance abatement and to protect public health from mosquito-borne disease.” ~source MDA’s website

Our Community’s assigned fog night is: Wednesday

  1. Our community will only ever be fogged on Wednesday nights during the 2019 season
  2. Fogging can occur anytime between 7:00 PM and 2:30 AM
  3. The fog program will begin on May 29.
  4. Fogging will not begin until the community has been notified and we have received the Community Notification Verification Form
  5. October 1 is the estimated last day of fogging for 2019
  6. Residents who do not wish their property to be fogged may file an exemption. The exemption policy and form can be found on our website: https://mda.maryland.gov/plants-pests/Documents/Exemption%202018.pdf
  7. Please stay indoors while fogging operations are being conducted

We just received the day of the week from the MDA which tell us what day spraying will take place. The day this year is Wednesday nights between 7:00pm and 2:30am. 

Regular season activity will begin by May 30th and continue to October 2nd.

If you would like to opt out of the program, please use the MDA’s submission form located on this page. In addition to the opt-out program, that page is another great resource from the state on mosquito spraying.

For the Standard Mosquito Control Operating Procedures please review this document.

Summer is coming and we’re hoping it will be a safer one.

The May 2018 Caper has arrived!

Soon, this gloomy April will be a thing of the past. There’s no better indicator that things are changing by the release of the Strawberry Festival Edition of the Caper. Beau’s message talks about the Pier Projects still ongoing which will hopefully be done soon. There’s also information in his message about the two County led projects which are starting up in May.

Don’t forget, coming up, May 12th from 10am to 2pm at the Clubhouse fields is the Cape St. Claire Volunteer Fire Company Touch-A-Truck fundraiser. It’s an amazing event for the kiddos. Come out on May 19th from 8am – 2pm at the Clubhouse fields for the Cape St. Claire Garden Club’s Annual Plant sale. More information on both of these great events can be found in this month’s Caper. Don’t miss great write-ups from Goshen Farm and CCC in this month’s Caper. There’s great information there as always.

Then, if you haven’t already, set your calendars for THE event of the year. The Strawberry Festival is set to kick off at 10am on June 2nd with the parade from the firehouse. Then, around 11am, things blast off quickly. All of the forms you need are in this Caper.
