JUST A NOTE FROM ANITA: The Lexington Oaks Blog emails that go out still have my e-mail address on them, because that was the one I used when I established the blog! DON'T reply to the blog emails using that email -- it is an old e-mail address that I don't check anymore -- however, I don't think we can change it or we would have to delete the blog. TECHNOLOGY! BAH HUMBUG! Have fun at the party! We have moved to Texas so unfortunately we won't be able to attend. P.S. I don't know if it will show up properly, but I created a CHRISTMAS BELL out of my websites, I guess you could call it "WEBSITE ART." See below!

Our CWP Organization is having a open house meeting to all residents regarding crime within our community and other adjoining communities. This is to define the meaning of different types of crime and how to recognize differences of them. Our meeting starts at 7:00 P.M. on the 22nd of October. The Sheriffs Office will be conducting the meeting . If you can, could you please send out a notice to as many residents as you can. I wasn't sure if you were still sending E-mails out, but if you are, it would be appreciated by my organization and myself. This meeting should be very informative and many residents should benefit from their discussions.

Fw: Salvation Army Family Store Project - Wesley Chapel
Hi Beth, please send out to everyone on the e-mail list ASAP ----->
URGENT NOTE: SEE THE LETTER BELOW FROM THE SALVATION ARMY. They have decided to build on the land across from Lexington Oaks. Despite their efforts to make the store attractive, it is our opinion that the store will keep our property values down, much like putting in a Pawn Shop or industrial-type business. You do not see Goodwill or Salvation Army stores in New Tampa, those residents would never allow it. We need to keep up the pressure on our city officials to block their ability to build on that property.
Jim O'Brien found a buyer for their property, and they would reap a profit from selling it, but they have refused to sell. As residents, if we write letters to them stating that we will not do business or provide contributions, then they may reconsider. Why do they want to build there? Because they think they will get contributions from 1500 Lexington Oaks homes, of course! Could they fill their store with goods to sell without our contributions? I doubt it!
Send your email or letter to the addresses below. THIS MUST BE DONE NOW! HAVE YOUR NEIGHBORS SIGN YOUR LETTERS AND FORWARD THIS EMAIL ASAP.
KEEP YOUR HOME VALUES IN MIND, WE NEED OUR VALUES TO START COMING BACK UP, NOT DOWN. (WE OWN TWO HOUSES IN LEXINGTON OAKS AND CAN'T SELL THEM FOR WHAT WE OWE ON THEM.)

Subject: Salvation Army Family Store Project - Wesley Chapel
It has been some months since I spoke with you last but I wanted to take
this opportunity to follow up with you and thank you for your concern and
interest in The Salvation Army's efforts to find the most feasible location
for a planned new Family Store location in the Wesley Chapel area. After
carefully considering the alternative locations that were suggested, The
Salvation Army has determined that the present location at State Road 54
and Lexington Oaks Blvd. is still the most feasible location for our use.
In the near future, we will be moving forward with the construction of a
new modern Family Store facility and also with a strong commitment to being
a consistent and conscientious good neighbor in the Wesley Chapel
community. We will certainly work hard to be an asset to the community by
providing a variety of items for shoppers and bargain hunters at very
reasonable prices. We also hope to provide for many, a convenient way to
make tax-deductible donations of no longer needed household items which
will in turn, continue to help The Salvation Army help others. We are
committed to doing this with a well-maintained and efficiently run facility
that we hope the community, over time, will appreciate and feel good about.
I have attached a letter to any concerned resident of the area which
explains our rationale for moving forward with this county approved
project. I hope that it will be helpful in addressing a number of sincere
concerns that were previously expressed.
Thank you again for doing what you could to help us consider all the
possibilities available to us.
May God bless you.
Sincerely,
Major Don Smith, Administrator

Dear Concerned Resident,
The Salvation Army's decision to proceed with plans to construct a new modern family store on State Road 54 west of I-75 at Lexington Oaks Boulevard was determined by various factors which I will try to summarize as follows:
(1) The present site owned by The Salvation Army at State Road 54 and Lexington Oaks Boulevard which was approved by the county for our intended commercial use only, lends itself to greater visibility and access than any other commercially zoned site that The Salvation Army was able to consider. Two other sites considered had either retail businesses blocking the view of the available property or had substantial road widening work which was yet to be done by the county at a later date.
(2) Another consideration was that at the other two considered sites, construction of a new retail family store facility would have been on the same side of the street as existing housing developments. At the existing owned location, construction would take place on the opposite side of the street and would therefore be less intrusive.
(3) The time and resources already invested in the presently owned property in terms of engineering and permitting work at a site already approved by the county for such use would be lost.
(4) The Salvation Army is committed to being a good retail neighbor at the presently owned State Road 54 site and will make every effort to run its retail business in an efficient orderly manner. This would include appropriate landscaping work at the new modern family store site.
(5) The Salvation Army would only hire the same individuals for employment who would be eligible for employment at other businesses and retail entities in the immediate area. All potential employees have to pass background screening guidelines set forth by our territorial headquarters office. Sexual offenders are not eligible for employment.
(6) We believe that this new modern family store location at our presently owned and county approved site would serve effectively as a retail outlet providing desirable household goods and collectibles at economic prices to bargain hunters and collectors from across the socio-economic spectrum. We also feel that it would serve the community by giving residents a convenient and efficient way to make tax-deductible donations of no longer needed but useable household items such as clothing, furniture and collectibles. Proceeds from the sale of family store items go to support the on-going people helping services of The Salvation Army.

(7) As clearly determined by zoning regulations, this location would never be and could never be used for any other purpose than a family retail store.
We certainly want to prove ourselves to be a conscientious and valued neighbor in the days ahead. Please be assured of our desire to earn your trust and to provide a positive and helpful retail and service opportunity for the community.
May God bless you.

FORECLOSURE CAUSES SUICIDE
I thought our residents should know how Foreclosures are affecting our communities. If you have a neighbor who is in trouble with their house, be sure to offer a kind word and help if you can. You can go to the original copy of this article online by clicking here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080724/ap_on_re_us/foreclosure_suicide;_ylt=AsiIJzD0khFQiQRzgfoiHtRH2ocA
Massachusetts Woman Kills Self Before Home Foreclosure
Wed. Jul 23, 2008
TAUNTON, Mass. - A 53-year-old wife and mother fatally shot herself shortly after faxing a letter to her mortgage company saying that by the time they foreclosed on her house that day, she would be dead.
Police said that Carlene Balderrama used her husband's high-powered rifle to kill herself Tuesday afternoon, shortly after faxing the letter at 2:30 p.m. The mortgage company called police, who found Balderrama's body at 3:30 p.m. The auction was scheduled to start at 5 p.m. and interested buyers arrived at the property in Taunton, about 35 miles south of Boston, while Balderrama's body was still inside, according to Taunton police chief Raymond O'Berg. Police did not immediately release the name of the mortgage company.
O'Berg said Balderrama's fax read, in part, "By the time you foreclose on my house I'll be dead." O'Berg also said a suicide note found next to Balderrama told her husband, John, and 24-year-old son to "take the (life) insurance money and pay for the house." "I had no clue," said John Balderrama explaining that his wife handled all the couple's finances. "I'm just lost. I tell you I'm beside myself."
He said Carlene had been intercepting letters from the mortgage company and shredding them without his knowledge. He had no idea she hadn't paid the mortgage in 42 months. "She put in her suicide note that it got overwhelming for her," he told The Associated Press in a phone interview Wednesday. "Apparently she didn't have anyone to talk to. She didn't come to me. I don't know why."
John Balderrama filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy three times from 2004 to 2006, but the courts dismissed the petitions. Debtors who declare bankruptcy under Chapter 13 generally can keep their homes while paying off their debts under a court-approved reorganization plan.

re: This week's news.
On this Memorial Day, most of us will be gathering with friends and family in celebration. Make this holiday safe and fun for all.
Not much news has been coming in from our community as of late. Just wanted to pass the few messages on that I have received.
****************************************************************
Hello Friends and Family,
We hope you are doing well. Some of you know we are going to a brand new school next year. It is beautiful and we are excited, BUT we will have no playground until our PTA raises money for one. One way for us to do that is with this cool web site. We hope you can help us. For those of you who have kids in school, Mom thought you would like to see this site for your school to use too.
What if our new school earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Or how about if a percentage of every purchase you made online went to support our cause? Well, now it can!
GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up!
GoodShop.com is a new online shopping mall which donates up to 37 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause! Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, ebay, Macy's and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an order, you'll be supporting your favorite cause. ( Mommy and Daddy's favorite one is iTunes)
Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Veteran's Elementary, Wesley Chapel as the charity you want to support. And, be sure to spread the word!
Thanks for helping us get a play ground,
Bryson and Hayden Turner

Looking for something to do with the kids this summer? The MOMS Club of Wesley Chapel- NW (Moms Offering Mom Support) has a busy summer planned for the family. Summer camp activities will be held every Wednesday from June through August.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am Command Sergeant Major Drew Craig, CSM for the 720th Military Police Battalion home based in Fort Hood, Texas and currently days away from completing a 15-month tour in Baghdad, Iraq. I found this distribution list on a note from Mr. Bob Williams and it appears that it is a consolidated list that includes many of those he supports and those that assist him in the support of our troops. I wanted to send a "thank you" to all those that help Bob and support our Soldiers, and to share how much his support has meant over the past 15-months for the men and women of the 720th Military Police Battalion.
The support provided to my Soldiers by Mr. Williams during this deployment has made an incalculable difference in both morale and standard of living. During our tour Mr. Williams has provided snacks, coffee, small electronics, basketball goals and other sports equipment, and a list of items that is just too extensive to include in this note. As I told Mr. Williams in our first exchange of emails, the Army provides the Soldiers all the things they "need" here, but there are comfort items that go a long way towards improving morale and quality of life, and he has come through in a big way.
I know that there are many of you that helped him, and to you we also owe a debt of gratitude. Thank each of you that assisted him in this endeavor. Life here was much better because of your generosity and support.
My battalion and I leave here in a couple of days, but we will never forget the support of Mr. Williams and those that made his support possible. Thank you to each and every one of you.
I also noted that the distribution list contains a good number of military addresses; no doubt the other units that Mr. Williams supports. Good luck to each of you and God's speed as you finish your tours.
Sincerely.
J. Drew Craig
Command Sergeant Major
720th Military Police Battalion

MOMS Club begins new service project
Three issues often weigh heavy on the minds of new moms: how to loose the extra pregnancy pounds, how to find time to exercise, and how to establish healthy habits for their families. The MOMS Club (Moms Offering Mom Support) Club of Wesley Chapel will address these hot topics at its next meeting. A fitness trainer will be there to talk about nutrition, fitness, & our health. Also at this meeting, the MOMS Club will begin collecting new and/or very gently used teddy bears and other stuffed animals to give to local Emergency, Police and Fire Officials to carry in their vehicles to comfort children at accident or crime scenes.
*****************************************************************************************
Please add in your next issue….
Parents dropping off their kids for the school bus in the morning should be courteous of other people's property while parking their vehicles in front of neighboring homes.
There has been a significant problem in Saratoga on the corner of War Admiral and Saratoga, where people have damaged lawns with their vehicles by parking on or running over the grass. In addition, there is a congestion of cars idling in front of people's homes on both sides of the road while they wait for the bus.
If you are one of these people that drops their child off, please be courteous of other people's property. Do not park or run over any grass in a person's home. Do not park or turn into the driveway's of nearby neighbors. Do not leave your car idling for long periods of time in front of people's homes.
Thank you.mweibe@hotmail.com
| I am absolutely frustrated at what I see EVERY morning between 6:10 & 6:20AM. I leave my village & speeders whipping by me. I flash my lights & it is totally ignored. I also see this problem anywhere between 5:30 - 6:30 PM. I followed several cars on a particular evening and they were all going into Maywood, this does not account for other village. Most of the time, in the evening, drivers are talking on their cell phones & not paying attention to anything. If cars are doing the speed limit of 35mph in the left lane cars go into the right lane, pass you & speed into the left lane, especially on the round about. I guess the CPW is right, unfortunately it will take a very serious situation before people realize this is not the Daytona speedway. vgreco1@tampabay.rr.com |

Hello Folks,
Communication in communities is important and is very helpful to get things accomplished when necessary. Our community has been very lucky to have means of important information reaching many homes. Many efforts are in play in here, and imagine if we all didn't have this. How would we all get things done ? Ever since I moved in here, it has been comfortable to know, we have residents that go the distance and assert themselves in many community projects. This is great and we all should applaud all of them. When people travel to search for a home, it's a natural instinct to observe the surroundings where you might buy a home and settle down. We do this for our own safety and to insure our families will be comfortable. We all buy with good intentions and do the best we can. Within our community, we have many community projects going on and it appears to be working 100 % for all who participate. This is good, because it expresses interest and concern for one another.
I know, many of you have positions with jobs and many have the positions of raising little ones as well. But there are still some who have time to get involved with some projects that could benefit not only yourselves, but your neighbors and friends that live in here.
Our Lexington Oaks, Crime Watch Patrol Organization is just one of the projects in here that make a difference. Four and a half years of a difference and still going strong. I have come to an understanding that this community has accepted us and supports us 100 % as well. This is good also. And from all of us, we sincerely thank you for your support. I guess you all know what's coming next . Right !!!!
What we are trying to do in here is to make our community a safer place to live for all of us. I know at times, we say to our selves, " NA, It Couldn't Happen Here ", and we move on to other thoughts. Well, things do happen and many of us never find out without taking the time to get involved. For instance, our Pipeline News has much information and without this, it could be months before you ever even find out. Folks, our program would be nothing without people like you, and believe it or not, the more residents we have with us, makes a big difference. I believe by now , after 4 and a half years, this entire community knows our intentions for doing what we do. So, there is no need to constantly request members to help. This has always been an on going request from us and probably will stand as such. Yes, we need dispatchers and patrollers to help us. Just two hours per week will surely help us.
If you cannot help, I would like to request some input from some who can E-mail us with suggestions that could better our organization. Or even give us information about things that are taking place close by to your homes that are not favorable to you or your neighbors. We keep residents names and addresses confidential and always will. We are all residents that will listen and apply anything that will better the system. Please E-mail me at : LexingtonoaksCWP@aol.com with any suggestions that could help us. Your input is important to all of us.
Thank You For Listening,
Sam Fulciniti, President
Lexington Oaks, CWP

Dear Neighbors,
Today, 01 / 20 / 08 a report was issued to me regarding a " Snowshoe Siamese Cat " that was hit by a vehicle about 11:30 P.M. . This cat was hit in front of 5411 Spectacular Bid Drive, in North Hampton Village. The cat was taken to Tampa Bay Emergency Vet Hospitol on E. Bears Ave. The cat was apparently a house cat and very clean. I do not know the condition of this animal. If anyone knows of someone that owns a cat like this, please contact " Rick Fisher " at : 813 994-9420 or 813 390-7579.
Please pass this information on to as many residents as you can. I'm sure the owners are worried and concerned.
Thank You, Lexington Oaks, CWP

Recently, the Sheriffs Office Traffic Division has given us the courtesy of monitoring our community for speeders. This request was issued by our CWP Organization. Our CWP Organization responded to calls coming in from residents. There is no doubt, our community speeders have been catching up to I-75 Traffic and this is going to be one big concern to anyone who walks , rides their bikes, or other vehicles obeying our traffic signs along Lexington Oaks Blvd. To go further, my day patrols have reported a couple of speeders totally disregarding any traffic signs on our Blvd. One particular resident, owning a Red Honda Fit exceeding the speed limit between 50 and 70 MPH on our Lexington Oaks Blvd., leaving our community around 7:30 A.M. in the morning. We have a Tag number of this vehicle and it will be reported to our Sheriffs Office, not just for speeding, but speeding with our children getting on board school buses present. Apparently, this young lady has no concern for others especially our children. What is it going to take for this to stop, ? Someone Getting Killed ?
Our CWP Organization works hard for this community. not to have our children arrested, or to harass any residents, but to protect this community from anyone who thinks they can come into it and hurt us. Every resident that lives in here should be proud to have such an organization working for them as we do.
This is a No Brainer.
At this time, I am pleading to all residents, pass this message on to all of your neighbors, friends, ETC, stop the speeding now or someone is going to loose something very precious to them.
My patrol vehicle dedicates many hours for patrolling and what do they get in return, speeders passing them at excessive speeds and laughing at them when they pass them. This my friends will stop and stop very soon. We have many Tag Numbers that belong to speeders and they will be reported. What happens with this situation will be something " Not To Laugh About ".
The funny part is, almost all of them are young adults. I receive Calls, E-mails from many residents complaining to me saying, " Where Are The Sheriffs Deputies When This Is Happening ? " Folks, do you honestly believe our Sheriffs Office will keep deputies in here every day to watch this community ? They are short handed as it is, this is why we started our CWP program, to assist the Sheriffs Office with our Eyes & Ears.
Last, please don't get the wrong message with this article, this is not to express a threat to anyone, but actually, it is intended to advise everyone, we do not want our residents hurt, or our children , to go some more, we also have wild life in here that was here first.
Thank You,
Lexington Oaks, CWP President

Hi Beth,
I was wondering if you could send this out the next time you do an e-mail to everyone.
Another Lexington Oaks resident and myself are in charge of collecting Box Tops for Education, Campbells A+ labels, Tyson labels, used batteries and ink jet cartridges for Quail Hollow Elementary School. For each of these items QHES receives cash to help buy things the school needs.
If our residents with kids at QHES could clip and turn in these items it would benefit the school tremendously. It is very easy to do and only takes a minute. Even residence in our neighborhood that don't have a child attending QHES could help. They only need to collect the items and then contact me when they have some for me to collect.
For more information on how to find the items people can contact me at srturner5@verizon.net
Thanks,
Stephanie Turner
****************************************************************************************************************************I would like to share this with all Lexington Oak neighbors through the Pipeline.
I took my car over to our neighbor, Hyundai of Wesley Chapel today to be detailed. They did it in about 2 to 3 hours and it looks great! The Hyundai detail folks did everything; wash, wax the outside and under the trunk and hood, shampooed the carpet, mats and seats, cleaned windows inside and out and they even cleaned the engine! WOW...the engine looks new as well. And the price was very reasonable.
I would highly recommend to everyone, take your car(s) to our neighbor, Hyundai of Wesley Chapel and have them detailed. Give them a call and ask for Andrew...he will take care of you.
Regards, Doug
