Useful & Important Information
I received a notice from Allied Waste that there was a television thrown away in one of the trash bins at The Fells. They do not identify which home, but they did ask me to distribute the attached Summary of Waste Ban Regulations. It's good information for all.
Massachusetts Waste Ban SummaryA few things have come up that I believe if we work together, we can "nip them in the bud" before the issues grow....
I have received several E-mails and phone calls lately from different parts of the community that there seems to be a trend of folks walking their dogs, but not cleaning up after them. No doubt that most of these are from folks in surrounding neighborhoods who enjoy walking through your lovely community, but some could also be coming from our residents as well.
We have been asked by the town of Amherst to distribute the attached document to all homeowners at The Fells. There is a potential that homeowners may see one of these threatened species at The Fells. This document will tell you what to do in case you are lucky enough to come across one.
If you have any questions, there are several links on this document that should get you to the appropriate information you seek.
Thank you!

Note: In Spring of 2010 we did spot a Blanding's turtle wandering around one of the vacant lots in Phase II. I followed the instructions provided in the attached document and reported this sighting on the New Hampshire Fish and Game website. We didn't keep track of where the turtle eventually went but we think it went behind the Fisher's house? ~ Mike Ronayne
A very important notice for you this morning...
The Fish and Game Department has asked for everyone to bring in their bird feeders. There has been a rise in bear sightings in Merrimack and Amherst. These bears are searching for food, and if they don't find any, maybe they'll move on. This also includes dog food or other treats you may leave out hoping to attract other wildlife... One of our residents had a large black bear on his back deck... just a few feet from him!!!
Please, as much as we're all used to having bird feeders out, and enjoy seeing them visit our homes, until the hungry bear season has passed, please bring in all bird feeders immediately.
Also, the Fish and Game department is asking for folks to call in any bear sightings, as they must be tracking their movements.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!!

The volume of scams that are perpetrated on the Internet has been growing regularly these past few years. In general, it seems that the worse the economy gets the higher the crime rate.
The Internet has proven to be fertile ground for would-be scam artists hoping to cash in on the naivety of the general public. Below is a screen-shot of just such an attempt.
You should never click on a link that arrives in an unsolicited email message like this. 99% of the time an email like this one is a scam. What to look for:
Scams are common and somewhat ubiquitous on the Internet. While some of these 'free offer' scams are quickly found by authorities, often times they open back up under a different business name within hours of being shut down.
Let's get more familiar with the anatomy of the 'free trial' scam. Stop me if any of this sounds familiar. First, you receive an enticing offer to try a new product in which all you have to pay for is the shipping and handling (a nominal cost). During sign up, you are presented with other offers such as paid magazine subscriptions, a paid membership to the site (which should be your first warning), free upgraded products and/or almost anything else under the sun.
