Unclaimed Cell Phone
The cell phone found on Fall Creek Drive on January 16, 2021 still has not been claimed. If any friends or family members stayed at your home that weekend, please check with them to see if they are missing a phone. The phone is locked, so there’s no way to check it for clues…so until someone claims it, here it sits!
April Elections Reminder
Terms will end in April for two of our current board members, which means there will be two empty seats to fill. All seats are for 3-year terms. Could one of those seats have your name on it?
If you are a go-getter who is interested in helping to effect positive change within the community by serving on the board, the first thing you’ll need to do is declare your intent to run. You can do this by mail or email. Your intention to run must be received by 5:00 pm on Friday, February 19, 2021. All homeowners who will be running will be announced at the board meeting on February 20, 2021. Here is the contact information for declaring your intent to run:

Bob’s Bigger, Meaner Uncle
Just after midnight on January 25th, a cougar was spotted just a mile down Highway 131 in Netarts. The home territory of these cats can range from 20-60 square miles for females to 100 square miles for males, so it would not be outside the realm of possibility for one to turn up at The Capes some day. If you ever do come across a cougar, do not approach it. Most will try to avoid confrontation, so make sure to give them a clear path to escape. Do not run, as running could stimulate their natural instinct to chase; pick up children or small pets that are with you. Do not crouch down or bend over, and do all you can to appear larger to the animal. (Raise your arms, open your jacket if wearing one, wave your arms slowly and speak firmly in a loud voice.)
