A Bear Cub was sighted on 12th Ave on the afternoon of Wednesday october 7. It was reported to the authorities. If you see any large wildlife, or stock animals on the streets of Emmett Highland you should notify Idaho Fish and Game (number below) and let Rose Management know so we can send out an alert:
1. Stay away from the animal. Do not approach it, attempt to catch it, or try to move it.
2. Watch for other animals. Mother bears can become extremely protective of their cubs.
3. Bring children and pets indoors. Don't let dogs approach or chase the animal.
4. Do not feed the animal. Remove accessible garbage, pet food, and bird feeders only if it is safe to do so.
5. Keep your distance and give the animal an escape route. Do not surround it or attempt to scare it away.
6. Alert nearby residents so they can keep their distance.
If the animal is behaving aggressively, someone is in immediate danger, or a bear is trying to enter an occupied building, call 911.

Highlands Irrigation water was turned off on the afternoon of 10/7 due to lower than expected water levels in the canal. You may see dripping from your sprinklers as the system adapts to the water shutoff.
DO NOT FORGET TO HAVE YOUR SPRINKLER SYSTEM BLOWN OUT THIS FALL TO AVOID FROZEN/CRACKED IRRIGATION PIPES IN THE SPRING WHICH WILL RESULT IN COSTLY REPAIRS.
Many homeowners have had a very difficult year with their front lawns. We have received concerns about multiple houses with invasive weeds and grass that did not survive this year, despite regular tending. If you are concerned about your front yard and feel it's a problem stemming to the original landscaping you should reach out to the builder of your home and/or the landscape company they hired to install your lawn. Unfortunately this may mean new sod will need to be laid.
If you cannot get help from your builder, you should reach out to a reputable landscape company to see if your yard needs correction. You can find landscapers through a Google search (look for the number of reviews and their rating) or by talking to your neighbors. The Emmett Highland Facebook Group is also a great place to ask neighbors for advice and recommendations. The HOA is not affiliated with this group.
Zamzows is a Treasure Valley staple and can offer tips and information on diagnosing and treating landscape concerns. They do not offer landscaping services, just products and information. Other businesses in Emmett that offer similar products and expertise include Tractor Supply Co., High Desert Feed & Supply, and Rocky Mountain True Value.
It's wise to look into these issues now before the snow falls so you aren't starting from scratch in the spring. Good luck!
