Good afternoon:
We are well into fall now, not that our temperatures are any reflection on this but several residents have decorated their homes in ghoulish garb for Halloween. Let's here it for all the residents that went all out this year.
I do have a comment to make this week. It seems that several of our residents are choosing to leave their dog messes on the sidewalks along the Lexington Oaks Blvd. or in the grass along side the sidewalks. This is not only a county ordinance prohibiting such conduct but is also against our community deed restrictions.
It has gotten to the point that those that use the walkways for exercise or to stroll their baby carriages along have to dog the messes left behind by these dogs. The other day I found a man standing in my front yard allowing his pet to relieve himself. When I asked the man, to please pick up the mess and offered a bag, he used vile language and told me he was well within his rights to do so as dogs mess in his yard all the time. Difference being is he owns a dog. The man (and I use the term loosely) continued his obscenities when I tried to hand him the package he had left in my yard. When I asked his name and address he was not willing to give me that. Next time I will take a picture and post it in the pipeline. This is appalling that we are subjected to cleaning up after someone else's pet. For those of you that do carry bags and clean up I thank you, this is not directed to you. But it shows that you are concerned about our community and I for one appreciate you pick up. For those of you who do not choose to do so. Shame on you. This is your community as well. You should take pride in where you live, and the area around you, and if you own a pet it is your responsibility to take care of it and clean up after it. Do NOT leave it for someone to walk in, or worse a mother with a stroller and then having to clean the stroller because of the choices you make.
Also, our community yard sale was last weekend. It seems that some felt that it was not advertised well. I happen to know that it was in the Wesley Chapel Leader on Oct 18, 2007 in the community news section. None of the other communities that were also having their sales Saturday the 20th was written up. I also had inserted it several times in the pipeline and it was on the community calendar in our October monthly newsletter along with the sign in the front of the community. I am sorry that it was not as big of a success as some would have liked. Hopefully, we will have a larger showing in our Spring community sale.

I'm again writing about speeding within the community - this one is very important. On two separate occasions (once entering and once leaving LO) a female driving a green car with writing on the windows (Senior 2008), was driving excessively fast on the main blvd . The first time so fast that I was unable to determine the village she would have lived as she had to be traveling at least 50 mph or better. However, the other morning she pulled out of Saratoga village and proceeded to pass me building speed as she did. So this goes out to the parents of this young woman...please talk to her - my son died as a result of driving too fast and I don't wish this on any parent.

Now you can bring that lap top computer to the playground or to the pool and go online. We recently installed WiFi routers at the community center to make connecting to the Internet world available while residents enjoy the pool or the playground.

We just had some root pruning done today by a company by the name of Tampa Stump Removal and I just want to pass on the information regarding his company. He is fully insured and licensed. He did an excellent job. He can be reached at 813-244-7327. He was able to cut roots that were headed for our driveway and also for our walkway and not do a lot of damage to our yard in doing this job.
