Hello everyone!
Sorry this is so late, this month is NANO writer's month so I have been busy working on my novel and had very little time for anything else.
There are several interesting things going on. First of all Monday is Veteran's day. Let's all show our support and fly our flags proudly.
Did you know that at the Boyette Road post office they have boxes to send to our troops? Especially with the upcoming holidays these men and women appreciate receiving something from home. The HOA board is supporting this effort and will be paying postage on some of these boxes. It's a wonderful gesture and you can't find more deserving folks than our troops. The boxes are already packaged all you have to do is pay the postage. Most of these packages range between $17.00- $20.00 a piece.
Also, if you haven't already noticed Toys for Tots boxes have been placed in the community center, the daycare and the golf course pro shop. Anyone interested in giving an unwrapped new toy to this wonderful cause please drop off your donations at these locations. I have been assured that the toys donated will be given to needy children right here in Wesley Chapel. They are also looking for bicycles. If you have any questions you may contact Anna Fulk,Chairman TFT'S W/C at 788-3038. or cfulk@tampabay.rr.com.
Last year along Toys for Tots had over 894 children right here in Wesley Chapel that they helped.

A word from out CWP
Hello Folks,
The following information is important for all of you to know. Please do not take this personal, but this area must be defined more clearly so we all have a better understanding of what our responsibilities are within the Crime Watch Patrol.
Our main objective is to be the eyes and ears for the Pasco County Sheriffs Office. We consist of resident volunteers dedicating our efforts to deter crime, potential crime, and crime in progress. Our personnel dedicates their time to patrolling our community mostly during the evening hours and early morning hours. At times, if we have volunteers, we will be out there patrolling day time hours. We do not have the man or woman power to man phones all day long or all night long. We will receive calls regarding crime in progress, or potential crime about to happen. But first remember, if you are witnessing a crime yourself, please dial 911 , they are the responders to every call that they receive. If there is a problem with solicitors, we cannot do anything about that, all we can do is tell them to leave as you would do. If for any reasons solicitors get touchy with us, we will dial Non-Emergency for assistance and the sheriffs office deputies will follow their guide lines as best they can.
This past week, we have been over run with solicitors from Papa Johns Pizza. The thing to do with this is, " Call Papa Johns Pizza and explain to them, your solicitors are annoying many residents during the day time hours and even going to night time hours. Some of them have been reluctant to listen and leave, but if that occurs, dial Non-Emergency and explain to them as well. We all order from Papa Johns Pizza, but enough is enough, the soliciting has to stop somewhere soon. It is getting annoying to everyone. My phone is off the wall with calls from residents requesting me to kick them out, but my hands are tied with loop holes this organization has found. So, what we have to do is, find another loop hole to have them stop. Trust me, I will be working on that one.
Another area of concern to us is, we receive many calls regarding bikes being left on our grounds. We cannot respond to these calls because we cannot store these bikes. My garage was full with bikes in the last few months and I turned them over to needy people. If you find a bike, list it in the Pipe-Line News for our community, perhaps someone might read it and call to see if it belongs to one of their children.
Please do not take offense to my input, we can only do a certain amount for all of you and these things listed above are not our jurisdiction. Now, if you see someone stealing a bike, yes, if we have patrols out there, we will respond to them.
Please understand, we do not have enough volunteers to do it all, but perhaps when we can recruit more of you to help us, expansion to other areas may take place.
Last, for all of you residents that honored us with a donation on our fundraiser day, October 27th, Saturday, from all of us on the Lexington Oaks Crime Watch Patrol, ( CWP ), we all thank you very much for your efforts to help us. We all appreciate your donations .
Thank You, Sam Fulciniti, President
Lexington Oaks, CWP

Residents voices
Over the last several months I've noticed an increase of speeders along the blvd, many going way above the posted limit or even 5 miles above the posted limit. So, the question remains, what does the community do to fix the problem? Has our BOD discussed this further to provide some measure of relief to this very large problem? I know speed bumps was declined due to the issue of emergency vehicles having to slow down which could cause a delay in response time. However, what about stop signs? Has that been entertained? Emergency vehicles do not have to slow down for those, but motorists do!
Pretty soon we will have external motorist entering and exiting LO with the construction of the shopping area at the entrance. What is it going to take? A fender bender, major collision or a death?

Hi,
My husband and I have taken in my 76-year-old mother-in-law to live with us, and we need to get away. We're planning a 4-5 night cruise sometime in Feb '08. We're looking for someone in the neighborhood who does home health care.
She needs very little help but would need someone to pop in on her to prepare her meals 2 to 3 times a day.
She occasionally needs help dressing. She's a very intelligent, kind woman who does her best to make caring for her easy on her care giver.
We have a cat and dog as her companions, and the dog would need to be let out to go to the bathroom during your visits. We have other family members in the home, but due to their work schedules they can't be there for her meal times, but they'd feed the pets while they're home.
Call or e-mail if you're interested.
