Hello Treasure Beach

Here is a view of article appearing in August 2009 issue of First Coast Communities Journal...

It is good to be back in Treasure Beach after visiting relatives in upstate New York over July 4th. It rained frequently during the two weeks that I was there. However, I did enjoy the milder temperatures (low 40s to high 50s at night, and mid 60s to high 70s during the day).

I have been catching up on all the back issues of St. Augustine Record that I missed while I was away. Sorry to hear about the death of Don and Pat Hankey on Puebla Road. What is most disturbing to me is that the police weren’t called until someone reported a foul smell coming from their house. On the street where you live, do you at least know the neighbor on your right, left and across the street? We are an older community and each of us needs to be aware of our neighbors and surroundings. We do have a neighborhood watch program in this community. But like all organizations, it is dependent on volunteers from the community. On a daily basis, you may see some of your neighbors riding up and down the streets in cars/bicycles to help patrol and assure that our community tries to remain as safe as possible for all the residents (renters or owners). However, as much as the neighborhood watch might be able to do, it is important that each of us, as residents of this community, watch out for each other as well.
