Darren Kirch - Interim Director of Security Living With Alligators
Alligators and People Alligators are a fundamental part of Florida’s wetlands, swamps, rivers and lakes, and they are found in all 67 counties. Florida continues to experience human population growth, and many new residents seek waterfront homes, resulting in in- creased interactions between people and alligators. Because of their predatory na- ture, alligators may target pets and livestock as prey. Safety Tips • Generally, alligators less than four feet
• Leave alligators alone. State law prohibits killing, harassing or possess- ing alligators. Handling even small alligators can result in injury. • Seek immediate medical attention if you are bitten by an alligator. Alligator bites can result in serious infections. • Observe and photograph alligators only from a distance. Remember, they’re an important part of Florida’s natural history as well as an integral component of aquatic ecosystems. If you see an alligator, contact Security at (561) 622-7800, and a trapping team will be dispatched to your residence.
in length are not large enough to be dangerous unless handled. However, if you encounter any alligator that you believe poses a threat to people, pets or property, call the Nuisance Alligator Hotline at 866-FWC-GATOR (866-392- 4286). Please be aware, nuisance alliga- tors are killed, not relocated. • Be aware of the possibility of alligators when you are in or near fresh or brackish water. Bites may occur when people do not pay close enough atten- tion to their surroundings when working or recreating near water. • Do not swim outside of posted swimming areas or in waters that might be inhabited by large alligators. • Alligators are most active between dusk and dawn. Therefore, avoid swimming at night. • Dogs and cats are similar in size to the natural prey of alligators. Don’t allow pets to swim, exercise or drink in or near waters that may contain alligators. Dogs often attract an alligator’s interest, so do not swim with your dog.

Dead Spots in the Tennis Courts
Dead spots are a big problem in tennis courts. A dead spot is a particular point on the court where the ball won’t be able to bounce back if it hits, therefore, completely halting play. Deadspots are created when Air bubbles form under the surface of the court. Air bubbles occur during a heavy rain when the HydroBlend quickly becomes saturated and traps air in the stone layer beneath it. As the rain continues and water soaks down deeper into the stone layer, air is displaced and forced upward lifting the HydroBlend in spots. This creates bubbles or bumps in the HydroBlend. Sometimes these areas settle back down, but are loose above the stone base; this can lead to dead spots during play. To eliminate the dead spots, the courts should be inspected after a heavy rain event and these spots pierced to allow trapped air to escape. Then the spot should be stepped on 2 or 3 times with the ball of the foot to quickly re-compact and eliminate any dead spots. Generally, the spots are still visible even if the air has escaped and the bubble or bump is flat. It is not necessary to pierce the spot at this point; however, the spot should be stepped on to re-compact. NEW! Summer Pro Shop Hours
