Treasure Beach Neighborhood Watch, March 2006

Hello everyone,

I am happy to announce that we had several reports from our volunteer watch people about traffic violations with speeding and pocket bikes and loud mufflers in addition to vehicles driving with no license and consequently no auto insurance in the past several weeks. I applaud their efforts to keep our community safe and I stand firm and support their reportings.

If any one witnesses a traffic violation or has a problem with excessively loud vehicles, please report it to the police department or let me know and I will try to get the problem addressed by our sheriffs office- that also goes for drivers running the stop signs and miniature motor bikes speeding through the neighborhood - Both are illegal.

You must be prepared to name the street and address, the approximate time and date(s) and what you perceive to be the violation and if this is a traffic violation + the license plate number. Anything else you can recall would help as well.

The same goes with properties that appear to be in violation of the county codes. If you don't know what the codes spell out just call me and I will talk with you about it. I would like to restate the county code for sitting out a refrigerator or freezer for trash collection. First, you must call the county offices and request pick-up. Next, and most important- YOU MUST REMOVE THE DOOR from the appliance to keep children from locking themselves inside and suffocating. YOU ARE LIABLE both criminally and open to Civil suits.

This neighborhood is a very nice place to live. There are changes happening here for the good of all of us. Our property values have risen to the delight of us all. Let's try to keep it safe for our families. Why not try and to keep our places neat and clean.

Very soon now I will be coming to you for a volunteer week of neighborhood watch. It will cover 4 months from April through July. Please consider helping out by taking a week. We have gone with only three weeks unprotected for the past 130 weeks. It is very important to keep our vigilance to deter crime of any sort in Treasure Beach. Please consider taking a week when I come to you.

Sincerely,

Charlie Novak
