School supplies needed for our local elementary schools

by Rebecca Fernandez

Neighbors, Our local schools, Powell and Conn, are short on school supplies for students in need. Following are items needed at each school. Please consider spending a few dollars--or digging through your own office supplies--to help out our neighborhood children. As we all know, it has been a hard year for many families, and school supplies can easily cost $100 per child. You can either bring the supplies to the office at either school or drop them at my house (1114 Brighton Rd.) with a note about which school you intended them for (if it matters). I will make a trip by each school next week to deliver what neighbors purchase and we collect. You could also PayPal me funds at this email address, to purchase supplies on your behalf when I go to the store. (Please copy East CAC chair Mark Turner cac-chair(a)eastraleigh.org on your email if you are donating money, to avoid any uncomfortable situations.) I would like to have our donations and donated supplies to the schools by the end of this week (Friday). Please forward this email to your own neighborhood email lists, if they are not copied, as well as any friends/neighbors who may be interested. POWELL Yellow highlighters book bags wide ruled notebook paper wide ruled, 1 subject, spiral notebooks 2 pocket folders with brads pencil top erasers fine point sharpie markers crayons, colored pencils and/or markers pencil pouches (not boxes) post-it notes glue sticks tissues paper towels (select a size) ziploc baggies (sandwich, quart and gallon size) Clorox or Lysol wipes CONN Disinfecting wipes Hand sanitizer Tissues Ziploc bags Permanent markers Crayons Recess equipment: jump ropes, sidewalk chalk, basketballs, soccer balls, footballs Composition books Book bags - suitable for a boy or girl New, reusable sports bottles Kindergarten snacks (healthy, prepackaged items like pretzels or crackers) Small quantities of healthy, nonperishable foods for Conn's food pantry Clothing items for Conn’s clothes closet (used when students have accidents or get wet or dirty).

Also needed are clothes for boys and girls in second through fourth grade -- Rebecca Fernandez, Corporate Writer cell: 919.931.4957 rebeccagfernandez(a)gmail.com

Calling 911 vs Non-emergency

by Vanessa Van Horn

Neighbors, Here is an informative post from The Lineberry Alliance blog<http://lineberry.org/blogs/2010/08/26/9-1-1-vs-the-non-emergency-number/>discussing when to call 9-1-1 or the non-emergency number, 831-6311. Officer Weber briefly discussed the difference at our last meeting. I've copied the post in full below. Best, Vanessa *9-1-1 vs The Non-Emergency Number* August 26th, 2010 by Jason Hibbets On our neighborhood email list, we’ve had lots of discussion about quality of life issues such as noise complaints, parties, fireworks, parking violations etc. Needless to say, people are confused on when to dial 9-1-1 versus the non-emergency number (919) 831-6311. The Pleasant Ridge & Ramsgate Community Watch program has helped educate neighbors about 9-1-1 and sponsored tours of the 9-1-1 center in the past. I decided to ask Walt Fuller, Deputy Director of Operations for Raleigh-Wake County Emergency Communications Center to help clarify some of the confusion. Our Q&A is below: 1) What happens when a call comes in to the Raleigh-Wake County Emergency Communications Center for a Raleigh Police officer? The call taker processes the call and gets the callers name, address, and phone number. They then ask what happened. Based on what the caller advises the call taker assigns the incident an Incident Class. The Incident Class has a predetermined Priority Code which determines how fast we have to get the call dispatched. 2) How are calls to the non-emergency number dispatched to Raleigh Police Department? The same people answer the non-emergency numbers that come into the Center. We do not handle the {RPD District] Front Desk lines. The Call Taker goes through the same process to determine what the caller needs and makes a dispatch if necessary. 3) Are calls to the non-emergency number recorded? All telephone and radio traffic coming into and going out of the Center is recorded. 4) Are calls to 9-1-1 and the non-emergency number answered by the same communications specialists? All lines coming into the center are answered by the same people. However, we have dedicated Call Takers who’s primary job is to answer incoming 9-1-1 lines. 5) If someone is calling about parking violations, loud music, loud noise (after 11pm), or a nuisance party violation, should they call 9-1-1 or the non-emergency number? Either way is fine. As mentioned above, the same people answer the phone. It is easier to process a 9-1-1 call as opposed to a 10-digit call because all we have to do is verify the address on 9-1-1 as opposed to manually entering the address info. 6) What kind of details should callers be ready with for parking, loud music, loud noise , or nuisance party violations? On every call, emergency or non-emergency, we will always need the callers name, address, address of the incident, call back number ,and what is going on. From there we will ask questions based on the nature of the call. 7) What if a caller wishes to remain anonymous about a parking violation, loud music, loud noise , or nuisance party complaint? We will always ask for the callers name and phone number simply to have something to call back if the officer, fire unit, or EMS unit needs further information. If the caller doesn’t wish to leave their information, we make a note in the call comments field that the caller wishes to remain anonymous, so the responders are aware. Where can people go to find out more information about the Raleigh-Wake County Emergency Communications Center? We are on the City of Raleigh web site under Public Safety. We have tabs for employment, history, stats, social sites and other info available. -- If it is a rose, it will come into bloom sooner or later. --Goethe

stolen children's bikes

by Rebecca Fernandez

A neighbor told us that three homes on Marlborough have had children's bikes stolen out of the backyard recently. I'm working on getting descriptions of the bikes, but if you see or hear anything, call the police or let me know and I'll take care of it. Meanwhile, if you're storing bikes in your backyard, pick up an inexpensive chain and padlock, or a bike lock, from Lowes or Target. No one will bother trying to steal a locked up kid's bike! -- Rebecca Fernandez, Corporate Writer cell: 919.931.4957 rebeccagfernandez(a)gmail.com

(phone) help needed

by Rebecca Fernandez

Can I get one or two people who are willing and able to call our handful of neighborhood watch members who do not have email, to update them on items on this list? With two young kids in the house, I can barely make my own phone calls, let alone extra ones! I can add a note to any important notices, so that you will know to call, plus provide you with one or two phone numbers and names that will be your regular contacts. -- Rebecca Fernandez, Corporate Writer cell: 919.931.4957 rebeccagfernandez(a)gmail.com

Suspicious teens going door-to-door

by Rebecca Fernandez

See message below... -- Rebecca Fernandez, Corporate Writer cell: 919.931.4957 rebeccagfernandez(a)gmail.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin Bogan <wkbogan(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 7:57 PM Subject: Re: [East-CAC] suspicious activity To: jscranton(a)aol.com Cc: east-cac(a)eastraleigh.org, James.Kryskowiak(a)raleighnc.gov 2 Suspicious Teens door knocking. Just a heads up. Today around 5pm two teens came to our door on Colleton asking if they could do yard work. they had no tools and were looking around the whole time. They were not dressed to do any work. We also have no grass. After leaving our house they skipped the next 20 houses and approached 2 houses on King Charles. Obviously if they wanted work they would have gone to every house. Both of those houses were nicer ones on the street. I called the police and the said they would come out and question them. An officer Reedy called and he said they would try to find them and keep patrols aware tonight as well. Keep a look out for the teens, one was in a blue T-shit with short hair and the other was in a red basketball jersey with long cornrows.
