best one yet! Entry forms are available in the Pro Shop or email Lee at

Hedingham pools. Lifeguard candidates must have completed
American Red Cross Lifeguard
Training, CPR for Professional
Rescuer and First Aid. Contact
Scott Hammond at 919-5503232 for more information.
Security Tips for Singles

Use a "Buddy
System".
Have someone in the
neighborhood
(if possible)
that you
check on and they check on you. This
should be a daily occurrence.

Keep shrubs and trees cut back. If
you can't keep up with the rate of
growth, cut them down.

Lights that make both windows and
doorways visible from the outside are
a very good idea.

Keep a flashlight, pepper spray and a
fog horn within reach.

Change up your regimen; regular daily patterns could make you vulnerable.

Know your neighbors.
It’s Farmers Market Time Again
Hedingham is very fortunate to have our own farmers
market stand on Wednesday afternoons in the Athletic
Club parking lot. This year’s market will start around the
second week in May and continue through the summer.
The fine folks who come to us represent the Barnes Family, who have been farming in the Southern Wake County
area for many generations. Barnes Farms grows a wide
variety of produce, from strawberries to pumpkins
throughout the year as well as some field crops. They truly
enjoy what they do and it shows in the quality of their
produce. Although not an organic farm, they use drip tape
to conserve water and work closely with county and state
agencies for land/water conservation to preserve the land
for future generations. The Barnes’s live where they farm
and eat what they grow. They invite everyone in
Hedingham to come and enjoy their fine products, which
will include strawberries, kale, Bok Choy, spring onions,
spring collards, spinach, tomatoes, red and sweet potatoes, radishes (red and white). Depending on the weather, there may also be broccoli, swiss chard and beets.
Different products are available throughout the growing
season, so watch for the sandwich board sign at the entrance to the Athletic Club and stop by. The Barnes’s will
be glad to see you!

Community Improvements Ongoing
The Hedingham Board of Directors is pleased to announce a number of community improvements in
2013. These are a combination of fulfilling the requirements defined in Hedingham’s reserve study and
observing and responding to items that need attention and repair. Improvements include:
Parking Lots – The Athletic Club and Grand Traverse Pool parking lots will have cracks repaired and the
lots resealed and restriped in May.
Willow Oak Clubhouse and Pool House – New architectural shingles have been installed using top quality
“lifetime” rated Landmark Pro shingles. The buildings will have wood rot and concrete wall cracks repaired. Both the trim and the siding will be repainted in May. Old gutters have been removed and new
gutters will be installed in May.
Willow Oak Pool – Last year a large green “Funbrella” was installed on the pool deck to provide shade for
residents who choose to seek shade from the sun. A second Funbrella will be installed in May to provide
more shaded area. The pool restrooms are being completely remodeled. New upgrades to the restrooms
include LED lighting, new fixtures and dividers, moisture resistant drywall, tile, quartz countertops with
under mount sinks, new toilets, and motion activated lighting.
Grand Traverse Pool – The baby pool will get a unique shade structure to provide sun relief to small children and adults around the baby pool.
Sidewalks –The City of Raleigh has repaired a number of sidewalk sections to correct trip hazards and broken concrete along Willow Oak Rd., Southall Rd. Ext., Eagle Trace Rd. and several other areas.
