An ugly scam is rearing up again. You may get an email from someone you know requesting that you help them out. They can’t get out or are out of town, but they ask you to purchase some gift cards for the POA or for something or someone else. They may come from your neighbor, your friend, even your pastor. But they are all phishing scams. Don’t fall for them! Check the actual email address the request came from, and you’ll see it is not your friend’s address.
 
And if your name is used in these phishing attempts, it’s a good idea to change your email password.

A neighbor reported another scam:
I received an email today purporting to be from the Geek Squad stating that they were charging us $349.98 for a 1-year subscription to an internet security plan.  If you don’t authorize this transaction, you have 24 hours to initiate a cancellation by calling a number at the bottom of the email to initiate a cancellation, which we did not do.
This is a known scam.  Do not call the number at the bottom of the email.

Time on your hands? Room in your heart? The Clemson Downs Volunteers could fill those voids. You can greet visitors at the desk, reminisce with residents, or help with lunch in healthcare. Email Kathy McGee, kkmcgee16@gmail.com if you have 4 hours a month to contribute.

There have been reports of people cutting flowers in the tranquility garden to the right of the B building. We are all invited to enjoy the flowers in and around the CARC properties, but please don’t cut or pick a bouquet to take home. CARC wants the flowers to be enjoyed by everyone and welcomes all of us to visit the gardens.

Thank you.

After consultation with the city and a thorough vote from residents, there was not enough support from the neighborhood to satisfy the city’s requirements to terminate spraying for the entire neighborhood. Therefore, spraying will continue for this year. 
 
 
To ask the city to avoid spraying your property, call Public Works at 864-653-2053.

The property on the far side of Downs Blvd. belongs to the Country Walk Subdivision. Only limbs that have fallen from the trees on that side of Downs Blvd. should be stacked on this property for pickup by the City.

Any limbs, brush, or grass clippings removed by residents should be taken to the area at the end of Bayberry on the far side of the concrete pad reserved for these items. The only contractors allowed to use this site are those hired by CARC and CDPOA for common property.
A schedule for brush pickup is located on the City website at https://cocengineering.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/edf9aabbb48d4546947fd162b09ce9b8
This site can also be accessed at the City of Clemson Public Works menu website at “Brush Pickup Dashboard.” Pickup is approximately every 3 weeks unless there is storm damage that creates an unusual amount of brush.
Please do not put brush or clippings on the mulch piles at the end of Downs Loop. This mulch is used in the Woodland Walk.

Fall and Winter Leaf Pickup begins in October and will be over at approximately the end of February.

  • Loose leaves are picked up by the vacuum truck but bagged leaves will have to wait for brush pickup.
  • Loose leaves should be left within 10 feet of the street and long rows are better than large piles.
  • Please do not mix anything with the leaves.
  • Do not pile your leaves around power poles, telephone and cable pedestals, or over water meters or sewer manholes. The machine will suck the lids off and damage the machine.

Additional information on leaf pickup and mosquito fogging can be located on the City’s Public Works website at Season Schedule or  https://www.clemsoncity.org/Departments/PublicWorks/SeasonSchedule/tabid/275/Default.aspx.

Please remember that when a contractor works in your yard, the waste they generate is not to be taken to the yard waste disposal site at the end of Bayberry. That site is only for POA residents who generate their own yard waste. Also, please don’t leave piles of leaves in the medians or near storm drains, as the leaves will cause the storm drains to back up and flood your yard or your neighbor’s yard. Thank you for helping keep our neighborhood looking good!
