Sand, Surf and SunThere might not be a better symbol

of summer than the beach:white-capped waves crashing againstglimmering sand. Whether you’re onthe beach or daydreaming about yournext vacation, these sandy facts maypique your interest:

• Cox’s Bazar, a town insoutheastern Bangladesh, isknown for its lengthy beach. Atabout 78 miles, it is thought to bethe world’s longest natural sandysea beach.

• Limestone, coral, crushedseashells and the skeletalremains of marine organisms areresponsible for the color of whitesand beaches.

• Black sand beaches are createdwhen hot lava flows into the sea.When the lava hits the water, itturns black and breaks intofragments, some small enough tobe considered sand. The largerfragments are broken down overtime by the surf.

• Sand accounts for 2 percent ofthe Earth’s crust, but most is onthe ocean floor, in rivers or indesert dunes.

• According to Guinness WorldRecords, 517 people inClogherhead, Ireland, weresimultaneously buried in sandin July 2010.

• National Geographic says the topthree beaches in the world canbe found in the Seychelles, theMaldives and Bora Bora. Numberfour on the list is a little closer tohome: the Hamptons, N.Y.

“To myself I am only a childplaying on the beach, while

vast oceans of truth lieundiscovered before me.”

—Isaac Newton

Summer Means SuperviseParents, please supervise your

children at all times on the property.We want the kids in our community toenjoy their summer, but please keepin mind that they are not allowed toplay in the parking lot at any time andwhen playing in community areas,there must be an adult present at alltimes. Thank you for your attention tothis matter.

Careful!Schools will be out soon, so look

out for the kids who will now be homeduring the day. Please, keep an eyeout, especially when driving throughour community.

Drink Up for More OomphIf you’re feeling sluggish, swig a

glass of water. Fatigue is one of thefirst signs of dehydration.

Thanks, DadDads play an important role in the

lives of their kids. Dads not only serveas role models, but they also offertheir children plenty of wisdom andadvice on all aspects of life. We saluteall the dads in our community. Wehope you have a wonderful Father’sDay. Keep up the good work, andnever underestimate how importantyou are!

Summer of KnowledgeSchool is out (or maybe you

graduated long ago)! But that doesn’tmean you can’t spend the summerlearning new things. Here are a fewways to keep your mind sharp andcontinue the learning process duringthe summer months:

Visit a museum. From art to historyto science, many lessons can belearned by a visit to an area museum.Go at a time when you can join a tour.

Solve a puzzle. Flex your brainpower with a puzzle or game. PlayScrabble or sudoku, or challengeyourself with a crossword puzzle. Youcan play online, with a club, or athome with friends and family.

Listen in. Bookstores often featurereadings by guest authors or lecturesfrom experts on various topics. Stopby a local bookstore to see what theyhave in store for the summer. Whileyou’re there, check out what’s new onthe shelves.

Talk books. Many libraries offerbook discussion groups throughoutthe summer. Check your library’scalendar to see what kinds of groupsare available, and you might find anew genre you like.

Learn online. With countless onlineclasses and tutorials available toanyone with Internet access, you canalways learn something new.
