re: Criminal activity

To All Residents:

 

It seems that we have once again had break-ins in the community. Please read the following:

****************************************************************************************************************************

Hello,

                I am looking for any information about two individuals that were walking around in Northampton Village, one wearing black shorts the other wearing light blue shorts and light blue or white short sleeve T-Shirt.  They were on spectacular Bid Drive at approximately 20:55….  These two individuals got into a vehicle in my driveway and removed a purse from it.  The wallet in the purse was found and returned.

 The police have been called a report is being filed and I have the suspects on video tape.

 Thank You,

 David Warnberg

Hello Folks,

 

If your vehicle was burglarized Friday night, our CWP Patrollers have done a great job in apprehending them along with the Pasco County Sheriffs Office.  This has been going on for several weeks to date and hopefully, this non-sense should stop for a while.  At least until the next batch of guys turn around and start again.  The good part is, our team efforts have paid off this week and if anyone comes back to hurt our community again with vehicle burglaries, our team efforts will be out there again to do the best we can.

Thank you's go to our patrols once again.  If your vehicle was hit, please call me and I will furnish as much information to you as I can.

 

Thank You,         Sam Fulciniti,     President

I also received the following in response to DO NOT FEED GATORS:

In response to:  Do Not Feed the Alligators

 

Much has been discussed about the alligators in our community in the Pipeline.  Up until about three months ago we had an alligator that would spend the day basking in the sun on our back lawn and we truly enjoyed him.  At no time did he ever become aggressive or threaten us in any way – at no time did we ever feed him.  Unfortunately one of our neighbors did not feel the same about him and had him removed.  Trust me folks removed doesn't mean he's going to enjoy a long life being relocated in another area, removed means he will become someone's purse or belt or tasty snack.  The removal of these creatures seems extremely arbitrary to me, while one neighbor lives in fear of them; others find them a pleasing part of the Florida landscape.  I remember that at one time in the not so distant past alligators were on the Endangered Species List.  If we don't stop "removing" them this will happen again.  As stated previously the alligator is a valuable part of the ecosystem, digging gator holes which support a whole community of other creatures and plants and keep the snake population controlled.  If you feel your child or dog is in jeopardy, you are not paying enough attention to them.  Typically the only time you hear of a gator attack is when someone is doing something stupid; swimming in the ponds or lakes or trying to engage them in some fashion.  Please remember when you pick up the phone to have an alligator removed there is no one to represent their side of the story, which is, they are just living here.  When I first moved here is was my understanding that an alligator wouldn't be removed unless it was over eight feet long and exhibited aggressive tendencies.  I feel if you use that as the rule when you call to have these creatures exterminated there will be fewer removals.

 **************************************************************************************************************************

In addition to what Marge is saying: We have gators in our ponds. They are not hurting anyone. Trappers come in with a 45 day permit to trap out our ponds. They are not supposed to trap anything under 4 ft. but this morning a 2 ft gator was trapped in Hawthorne. It had been hooked for 3 days. This is inhuman and the poor baby gator was suffering. The hooks they use on these gators lodge deep into their throats and unless the trapper is called to come back the gator is left to die. Small gators they will sometimes leave as it is not worth their time to come and take them off the snares. I repeat, these gators are not hurting anyone. In the warmer weather they will come up on the shoreline and warm up but they will not go after humans unless they are being fed or provoked. they do not feed on land. They go after frogs, snakes, and fish. They actually keep our ponds clean. These small gators that we have here can not even prey on birds or small dogs. Baby gators are actually food to otters, fish, and turtles. So before calling the nuisance alligator number, please check out the website on alligators and get your facts straight. We are being inhuman to these animals allowing trappers into our community. www.fwc.com/gators

AND there is an easement at the back of our properties, we may have to maintain them but we do not own the property down by the ponds. These trappers are trespassing.

Hello everyone,

 

I want to thank everyone who made it to the Florida-Friendly workshop on Saturday for taking time out of your busy lives to come out and spend your afternoon with us. I hope the workshop was informative and answered a lot of your questions.

 

***************************************************************************************************************************

On another note: PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ALLIGATORS 

 

It really is a shame when these animals are removed from our ponds. I don't know if you are aware of this or not but the alligators being in the ponds are an advantage to our community. They help to keep the ponds clean. Most of the alligators are not a threat and keep to themselves unless provoked. By feeding the alligators you are not only creating a major problem but also hurting the natural wild life. There is really no need to call and have the alligators removed. Last week, I received a call about a resident feeding an alligator in the pond behind my home. We were fortunate enough to have 2 alligators and a Cayman. The following evening all 3 were removed because the resident who fed the alligator called and said they had a nuisance alligator. Frankly, we had been watching the three all summer. They never bothered anyone until that incident. So I am asking each of you. Please leave the alligators alone. They are not hurting anyone.

LOST DOG

 

 

My daughter just called, this morning, to ask help from Lexington Oaks. She would like everyone to be on the lookout for their lost dog. She is a white and tan female Chihuahua that goes by the name of Princess. Apparently, she got out when they were repairing a sliding glass door and it went unnoticed until later that evening. They've been looking for her ever since, but would like anyone that finds her to call. You can call Natalie Winters on her cell at 924-7112,

 

 

.

 

Thanks, Beth and to anyone that finds her - there's a six year old little girl that is missing her terribly.

In regard to the school/children & cars at our subdivision entrances, maybe we could consider

marking on the road pavement, in yellow, about two hundred or more feet, a line maybe a car length wide that cars "must" park behind & only on one side? And, people are correct when they talk about exercise & safety. What's wrong with walking 200 to 300 feet?

Get your flag ready for 09/11/2007

Please join us in this FLY THE FLAG campaign and PLEASE forward this Email immediately to everyone in your address book asking them to also forward it. We have a little less than one week and counting to get the word out all across this great land and into every community in the United States of America.    

If you forward this email  ... each of those people do the same ... you get the idea.

THE PROGRAM:

On  September 11th, 2007, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this sixth anniversary of our country's worst tragedy. We do this in honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.

In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds

Action Plan:

So, here's what we need you to do ..

(1) Forward this email to everyone you know. Please don't be the one to break this chain. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.

(2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day.

Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America!

Movie Review:   Balls of Fury

By:  Jay Forry

A  So good,  blind people like it.

B  I'm glad I could hear it.

C  I had one eye open.

D  I'm glad I couldn't see it.

F  Blindness was a blessing.

 

Just when you thought you'd heard of everything, somebody makes a movie about ping-pong with a martial arts twist called, Balls of Fury.  Following his humiliating defeat at the 1988 Olympic Ping-Pong games, Randy Daytona (Dan Fogler) makes a meager living perfecting his ping-pong night club act.  Late one evening, Randy is approached by FBI agent Ernie Rodriquez (George Lopez) with a special assignment to infiltrate an illegal ping-pong tournament organized by a criminal named Feng (Christopher Walken).  Since Randy's ping-pong playing skills have deteriorated he seeks out the services of an ill-tempered blind ping-pong master named Wong (James Hong) and his sexy niece, Maggie Wong (Maggie Q).  (I thought I could learn how to be a blind ping pong player from Master Wong but the only thing he did was run into things and I can do that on my own.) While Master Wong puts Randy through rigorous training exercises, Maggie sharpens his skills by playing ping-pong with him.  Eventually, Randy is allowed to play in the big ping-pong "sudden death" tournament and finds out they really mean "Sudden Death."  If you enjoy seeing people being kicked in the groin and chopsticks being shoved up noses and everywhere else, this movie is for you.  Except for a couple chuckles it really wasn't funny and the closer it limped to the end the more ridiculous it became.  The script was lame and the plot was just as hollow as the ping-pong balls.  This is another one of those films that if I could have found the door to the theater I would have left.  Because of a great Def Leopard sound track I will move this film up to a D+ rating.     

 

This movie has been given a PG13 rating by the MPAA

 

Although I am blind, I can appreciate a good movie as well as sighted individuals.  I rely more on a good story line than special effects.  Visit my website at: blindsidereviews.com
