<strong>DOG WASTE:  </strong> Owners, it is your responsibility to clean up your dog's waste.  It is not fair to expect others to have to smell it, step in it, or clean it up in their yards.

<strong>GOLF CARTS:  </strong>Children under age 14 are not allowed to operate a golf cart, even with an adult accompanying them.  Golf carts are not allowed to cross Route 98, are not allowed on roads with speed limits above 35 mph, and are not allowed on sidewalks.  Please observe these rules.
