Time to Paint?
Is your house in need of a fresh coat of paint or just a bit of touch up work? Whether finishing one last home improvement project before the holidays or planning to get ready for spring cleaning, now is a great time to get bids from painting contractors. Your contractor may be able to color match to find the right paint, but it is best to refer to the SAMLARC approved paint schemes. Visit https://www.dunnedwards.com/colors/archive/color-ark_pro/samlarc/golf-course-village
If you would like to paint a different color scheme than what is currently on your home, Architectural Approval is required. Please remember to submit a fully completed form including the neighbor-awareness portion. Download the ARC Application through this website by hovering over the “Documents” tab above, select “General”, and log-in to the Vivo Portal.
Be Rattlesnake Safe
With the coming of spring and warmer weather conditions, snakes of many species are through hunkering down, making human encounters with these elusive creatures more likely. Although most native snakes are harmless, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) recommends steering clear of the venomous rattlesnake – and knowing what to do in the event of a strike.
Rattlesnakes are widespread in California and are found in a variety of habitat throughout the state from coastal to desert. They have been found in urban areas, on riverbanks and lakeside parks and at golf courses. They may also turn up around homes and yards in brushy areas and under woodpiles. Generally not aggressive, rattlesnakes will likely retreat if given room or not deliberately provoked or threatened. Most bites occur when a rattlesnake is handled or accidentally touched by someone walking or climbing.
Stay off the slopes and be alert when outdoors
Rattlesnakes are a native species in Rancho Santa Margarita, so residents should use caution outdoors. The landscaper has reported numerous rattlesnakes on the slope area behind the community. Please stay off the slopes and be sure to keep all children and pets off the slope as well. When walking in local parks, stick to well-established trails and stay out of brush.
What to do in the event of a snake bite
Though uncommon, rattlesnake bites do occur, so have a plan in place for responding to any situation. Carry a cell phone, hike with a companion who can assist in an emergency and make sure that family or friends know where you are going and when you will be checking in. In the event of a bite:
- Stay calm but act quickly.
- Remove watches, rings, etc., which may constrict swelling.
- Transport the victim to the nearest medical facility.
- For more first aid information, please call the California Poison Control System at (800) 222-1222.
