We secured our homes, bought supplies, and braced for a potential impact of Dorian - and with a late wind directional change, we were spared just like that. Thank you all for coming together as usual as we prepared for the storm. Neighbors helping neighbors and looking out for one another is what makes Islesworth special. Secondly, we had to deal with an unrelated internet outage that became apparent throughout the community, especially over the last couple of weeks. The issue was finally located by Comcast technicians and the outage was determined to be a bad node within our community playground area. All homes that were linked to that node were affected with slow or no internet. The good news is the problem was resolved and upgrades were later performed that increased everyone's internet speed. In our continuing annual effort to ensure the safety of our children during the upcoming Halloween evening trick-or-treating activities, the Islesworth Board of Directors will utilize Deputies from the Martin County Sheriff's Office to close our community entrances to non-resident vehicles. The entrance closures will be effective Halloween night from 6:00 pm until 10:00 pm. The rear entrance to the community on Berry will be closed off completely to vehicular traffic during the event. Residents will only be allowed to enter at the front entrance of the community during the closure hours. Please use caution if entering during the event as there will be many children traversing Islesworth's roadways. If you are having non-resident visitors, please advise them to arrive prior to 6:00 pm or they will be denied entry to the community. Thank you and have a fun-filled and safe Halloween. Residents, please make it a practice to use our website at www.islesworth.org as your Go To with any community HOA related questions or needs you may have. The Board would like everyone to receive correct information when it comes to our HOA. Joseph R.

She succeeds Carolyn Davi, who retired in August after 31 years on the job. Executive Director Campbell kindly agreed to an interview with the Islesworth Eye by email on Aug. 26, 2019. Here is that interview: Q: What type of business growth do you see for Palm City? Campbell: “Palm City’s businesses are divided into two portions. The first is professional (doctors, dentists, insurance, etc.) and retail. The second is the industrial side, which has added a great deal of leasing square footage in the Sands Commerce Center. This will lead to large businesses such as distributors, suppliers and manufacturing.” Q: Are there any new retail or restaurants coming to Palm City soon? Campbell: “There are one or two remaining parcels in front of the Palm City Chamber office. There is a developmental sign on Mapp Road for Tucker Commons that is said to have a restaurant on the first floor. Dunkin Donuts is going to be at the corner of Martin Downs and 714. There is a storage facility being built next to GCY on 714. This new facility is 3 stories in height. The Martin County School Board is constructing a new Palm City Elementary School on the same site.” Q: What type of businesses do you see being developed on the Martin Highway 714 stretch between Berry Avenue and the Huizenga Center? Campbell: “There is nothing at this time. The property appears to be for sale due to the zoning of limited commercial. There are no official plans at this time.” Q: Any insights into how the property at the southwest corner of High Meadows and Martin Highway 714 might be developed? Campbell: “It was purchased at auction by an out-of-town company and they have just begun the pre- application stages with the county.” Q: What types of job growth do you see for Palm City? Campbell: “There will be small incremental job growth in Palm City. Palm City is more of a residential community. There is steady growth in the county.” -3- Safe and Fun Halloween to All! -4- ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?? Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients: • 2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened • 1 cup ranch dressing • ¾ cup pepper sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot) • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese • 1 bunch celery, cleaned and cut into 4 inch pieces • 1 (8 ounce) box (chicken-flavored) crackers Directions: Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half of the shredded cheese and transfer the mixture to a 8x11 baking dish.

Ready in only 20 minutes, everyone will love them! Ingredients • 6 cups Rice Krispies • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter • 10 ounces mini marshmallows • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter • 12 drops red food coloring, may vary depending on type • 4 drops yellow food coloring, may vary depending on type • 12 Tootsie Roll Midgees • Desired frosting colors for decorating Instructions 1. In a medium sauce pan, melt butter and peanut butter over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add marshmallows and food coloring. Continue to stir until marshmallows are melted and sticky like glue. A wooden spoon is important here because the mixture will stick less to this surface. 2. Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies cereal. Blend well. 3. Although I highly recommend wearing powder-free latex gloves, you can also use wax paper to mold the warm mixture into round balls. 4. Push a Tootsie Roll Midgee into the top for the stem. The heat from the pumpkin will create a malleable material so the Tootsie Roll can be gently bent. Ridges in the Tootsie Roll create a natural and woody effect. 5. Allow pumpkins to cool completely, then decorate with frosting.
