It's that time again when children enjoy dressing up and roaming our neighborhood, trick-or-treating in search of some of their favorite candy. To keep your little goblins safe, just take a minute and read the below tips for Halloween! Have a great and safe time this Halloween season. Booooo.....!!!
Trick or Treat in Riverbend will be held on Halloween, Monday 31st from 6-8pm.
Please leave your porch light on if you would like a visit from the neighborhood ghouls and goblins.
.
Tips:
Carry a bright flashlight to illuminate sidewalks, steps and paths.
Use fresh flashlight batteries. Check it BEFORE you leave the house.
Chemical GLOW in the DARK LIGHT STICKS can be used along with flashlights.
Go to the bathroom just before going trick and treating.
Always WALK, do not run. You can slip and fall down... OUCH...!!!
Walk SINGLE file, facing the traffic.
Cross only at corners, with adults.
DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT wear and use rollerblades to go out trick-or-treating.
DO NOT assume you have the right of way.
Because one car stops, doesn't mean others will...!
DO NOT cut across strangers yards or driveways. Trip on hoses, rakes...!
Wear a watch you can read in the dark.
Set the watch alarm if you have time limit for Trick-or-Treating.
Make sure your costumes don't drag on the ground.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, and they should fit properly.
Make sure your shoe laces are tighted tight. You can trip...!!!
Avoid wearing your mask while walking from house to house.
Carry only flexible knives, swords or other props.
Avoid pointed props such as spears, or wands that endanger other children's eyes.
Wear clothing and costumes with reflective tape or "Glow in the Dark" markings.
Visit houses that have lights on, especially houses with Halloween decorations.
Always use the front door, NEVER go to the back of a house.
Stay away from any animals that you don't know.
Please don't pet animals you know or don't know you.
Always carry a spare Halloween bag just in case yours breaks.
Always be polite. And don't forget to say "Thank You".

Our Pool Our Responsibility
With new houses being built it makes sense that more people will be enjoying our neighborhood pool. However, several neighbors have commented that non Riverbend residents are using our pool. We, as residents, need to adhere and enforce the pool rules below. If you do not recognize someone at the pool simply say "Hi, my name is ____, I live on Altamaha. Where do you live?" If they do not live in the neighborhood, ask them to leave. I understand that this can be an uncomfortable situation but if we all ask then we all understand! The alternative is that the pool will be crowded, need more maintenance and our dues will increase. Also, speak up if you see children without parents or folks smoking and drinking. Again, it is our pool and if we all speak up then we can all enjoy our pool. Thank you!

Please make sure that you and your guests comply with ALL pool and playground rules and regulations at ALL times. Our pool and playground areas are "self-policing" common areas. Full compliance to ALL posted rules at ALL times will alow for maximum enjoyment of these areas by every RP homeowner.
Additionally, the Riverbend Plantation Develpment Company has purchased new umbrellas for the pool area. These umbrellas will be destroyed by the weather (like the three previous sets) if they are not lowered and tied each evening. Please make sure to lower and tie all umbrellas, and return all pool furniture to its original location prior to departing the pool area.
Thank you in advance for your consideration in these matters.

Smith Family Cemetery Clean Up DAY
Bring your rakes, hand held clippers for those testy briars, lawn debris bags, an axe or two wouldn’t hurt for those small left over stumps and a lot of motivation to the Smith Family Cemetery at Riverbend Plantation on Saturday, April 16, 2011 at 9:00am for the Spring Cleaning of the cemetery. This clean up will be nothing compared to the hard work you all put in back in December. Hopefully by April 16, 2011 we will have several smaller projects completed as several volunteers continue to work on resetting those downed markers and even though progress is sometimes slow going, it is still worth the effort in the long run to do it properly where this will last another 100 or so years. Please pass this along to all of your neighbors and friends in the neighborhood as we continue to restore that which may have been lost for those who were here first.
Please mark your calendar as this is 3 weeks from tomorrow and everyone should be over the spring break and back on schedule. We look forward to seeing everyone. Thanks again, Tony
I want to share an e-mail I received as a result of placing this data on the findagrave.com website from one of the ancestors of the Smith Family:
Subject: RE: Smith Family Cemetery in Houston County, GA
Thank you so much for the time and attention you have given to the graves of my family members. I am very appreciative of your kindness and attention to detail in the clean-up, the memorials and the photographs. One of the daughters of Needham and Ardella who is not listed is Deborah Ann Smith, wife of James A. Roquemore. They are my great-grandparents.
I cut my genealogical teeth unraveling parts of this family and have not revisited it in some time. Twenty-five years ago I had the same question you raised about William Smith Jr.'s birthplace. I still remember the thrill of looking at William Smith's will and seeing the bequest "..... to my daughter Ardelia, the wife of Needham Smith....." A Smith who married a Smith! No wonder I had such trouble finding her maiden name.
One correction I would appreciate your making on the Find a Grave memorial is Ardella's death date. I believe the marker says 1872 which jives with her enumeration in the 1860 and 1870 censuses. The eleven year old in her 1870 household is my great-uncle. My father was his namesake.
Selected Census Enumerations for Ardelia Smith
1860: District 11, Houston, Georgia
Widowed; household includes daughter Elizabeth, 20, Wes Spait, 17, George Walker, 16, Martha I Smith, 15, and Betsy I Walker, 7. Living near Garrett and Martha Smith and several Speights' families.
1870: Subdivision 167, Houston, Georgia
Farmer with land and personal property. Ardilla's household includes Bettie Fordham, 30, Mattie Smith, 21, Fannie Fordham, 9, Bessie Walker, 17, John Roquemore, 11, Helen Goode, 15, and Ada Mercer, 15. Betty Fordham, Mattie Smith and Bessie Walker all own property.
Please let me know how I may help you in developing information about the Smiths.
Cordially,
Patricia
