August 2008 Security Corner Newsletter
By Janet Wise - Security Director

THE DAM: A reminder that the slope of the dam (the grassy side) is off limits to sledding, walking, sliding or any other activity. You can utilize the slope that has rock and is next to the water. Anyone that is walking their dogs must keep them from going up and down the slope of the dam.

MARINA: If you have a boat in the LS Marina, please make sure you tie your boat up properly and that the rope is in good condition. Security has already rescued a boat that broke loose due to ropes that weren’t in good condition. It gets very windy at the marinas and the bobbing and bouncing around is very hard on your ropes. You should periodically check that your boat is secure.

CURFEW: Security enforces State Curfew laws at Lake Summerset. Parents should know where your children are after dark. If patrol finds violators of curfew, we will call the parents to pick them up and issue citations. If parents are not available, then the appropriate County Sheriff’s Department will be called. Curfew hours are:

If you have any questions feel free to contact Security Chief Wise at 815-248-2194 ext. 224.

LITTERING: As I drive through Lake Summerset I have noticed a lot more trash discarded along our road-sides. If you see anyone throwing trash out of their windows try to get a license number and description of the vehicle, then contact security. We will gladly issue a citation for littering.

LAKE FRONT LOT OWNERS: There have been several thefts from boats moored at the marina and at lakeside lots. If you have anything of value on your boat, remove these items from your boat. Anything that is still on your boat, make sure your lot number is on that item. This will help to return your item(s) if found elsewhere.

THEFTS: Here we go again! The kids are back at taking things out of vehicles. The most recent theft from a vehicle was on Breckenboro. Stolen were radar dectors, sunglasses and a wallet. Remember to take valuables out of your vehicles if they are parked outside.

REPORT IMMEDIATELY: Anyone who sees suspicious activity at LSA should report this information to the guardhouse immediately. Also, when reporting anything, leave your name, phone number and address. If you do not provide this information, the security patrol cannot follow up with you for more information. We need to know details about the incident, the perpetrators and the location to investigate properly. Providing us with your name and information does not mean that it will be disclosed in the investigation process

If you have any questions concerning any subject in this article, feel free to call the security department at 248-2194 extension 224 and ask for Janet.

The security guard house is open 7 days a week 24 hours a day to report any complaints or suspicious activity. The emergency number is 248-2778.
