I have seen 3 new sinkholes in the past 2 days. One in a residents yard at the second green on Churchill Green golf course. Two on Belmont golf course, one just in front of hole #5 front tee box and one on the side of hole # 8. A neighbor told me that they saw a sinkhole in a street near the Churchill/ Belmont area (did not know the street name). How many sinkholes have developed since Fay dumped all that rain on the Villages? I am not surprised that the Daily Sun has not reported any of these occurrences. The image of many sinkholes is not one that the Villages want to get wide distribution and since the Daily Sun prints only what the developer agrees to make public, we are kept in the dark. Can the reason for this secrecy is that the developers engineering did not take the possibility of causing sinkholes to occur when they contoured the land to fit in more house to sell.

There is a sinkhole or was a sinkhole in the street at the intersection of Bellerose Trail and Evelynton Loop. This is in the Churchill Downs area. Some workmen are there right now fixing this.

The large pond/lake in Pimlico appeared to be drained again as well. It has had it's 'drain' repaired at least twice before that I know.
