Hey folks,
I got word from Matthew Rice this morning that the blankets have been
installed on the noisy HVAC unit.
He says he's noticed a difference. How do things sound to the neighbors?

Dear Neighbors,
You may notice small white flags in the right-of-way along the edge of your
property; during my walk through the neighborhood today I saw them along
Rumson and Marlborough Road, among the streets hit hardest by the April
tornado. They were put there by the city's NeighborWoods tree-planting
program to mark the spots eligible for *FREE TREES*!
Here's a link to more information about NeighborWoods:
http://www.raleighnc.gov/arts/content/PRecParks/Articles/NeighborWoodsProgr…
It's a great city program, and it's great of them to help us get our trees
back after so many were killed and maimed in the storm. Please spread the
word. And please consider helping out your elderly or disabled neighbors who
might not be able to handle the planting and maintenance themselves. My
husband and I planted a tree that the program provided to one of our elderly
neighbors, and now we have the joy of watching it grow into something
beautiful.
Thank you,
Sue Sturgis
Hey folks,
Matthew Rice at Enloe informs me that the maintenance the HVAC tech did
on the chiller today has significantly reduced the noise it is making.
Matthew also reiterated that the sound blankets will still be installed
next week once they arrive. Thus, the unit should eventually get even
quieter.
Please take a listen and let me or Matthew know if you notice any
improvement.
Regards,
Mark Turner

Unfortunately, due to the consolidation of routes, Jerry was moved to a new office position.
He mentioned his move to my husband, whom he referred to as "Mr. Van Horn," a couple of weeks ago.
Even the kids at Powell knew him as their friendly postman. He was very much part of our neighborhood and even made an appearance during the N&O's tornado coverage of the Miller's recovery efforts.
We have been having erratic outgoing service lately too… for my neighbors, one side of the street will have service while across the street will not?
Best, Vanessa

Subject: [East-CAC] Magazine crews making the rounds
To: East CAC Discussion <east-cac(a)eastraleigh.org>
Folks, I've heard from neighbors in Oakwood and Mordecai that magazine
crews are making the rounds again.
Be advised that these offers are almost certainly a scam. If a magazine
crew visits your home, kindly turn them away. Then call 911 and let
Raleigh Police come out and determine if they're legitimate or not.
We will be hearing more tips about magazine crews at our October meeting.

Dear Officer Kryskowiak,
My neighborhood desperately needs your help with a badly troubled rental
property at 1208 Brighton Road. I am hoping this is something that can be
addressed through the PROP ordinance, if not criminal statutes.
This afternoon I found a terribly emaciated pit bull dog and another less
emaciated one wandering the intersection of Millbank Street and Brighton
Road; I managed to get the badly emaciated one to my yard and called Animal
Control. Officer Barham came out and got the dog from me, and then I took
him around the corner to the rental property at 1208 Brighton Road where the
dogs lived and where the other loose dog was in the yard menacing passersby.
What Officer Barham and I found there was extremely upsetting. Besides the
loose dog, which was extremely skittish and borderline aggressive, there was
a crate of skinny puppies on the back porch and -- worst of all -- another
adult pit bull very near death from emaciation lying in the shade of a
neighbors' car. The yard is as always full of trash, and the smell there is
just awful. I just left Officer Barham a few minutes ago; he had seized all
of the dogs and was preparing to take the sickest one to be euthanized.
This is the same property I complained about to Mr. Robert Pearce at
Inspections back in June when the tornado damage to the home still had not
been addressed. Today there are still tornado-felled trees lying in the
backyard. I am pasting the relevant portion of my June 24 e-mail to Mr.
Pearce at the bottom of this e-mail so you have a copy of that; I would be
happy to send you the full text if that would be helpful. Mr. Pearce is
copied on this e-mail.
I find it very disturbing that this property is on Inspections' radar screen
but is allowed to be in the state that we found it today.
This house is owned by K & E Properties LLC.
Here is the link to the property information from the Wake County tax
records: http://bit.ly/nOY35K
Here is the information about the corporation from the N.C. corporations
databases; the registered agent and manager is one Lucy Dixon at 5204
Rembert Drive in Raleigh: http://bit.ly/nOY35K
It is time for the city authorities to take serious action to remove this
blight from our midst. Please let me know what can and will be done.
Sincerely,
Sue Sturgis
2119 Millbank St.
Cell: 919-841-3058
*Here is the relevant portion of my June 24 e-mail to Mr. Pearce in
Inspections:*
*The wider problem on this block: *This block of Brighton Road is becoming
severely blighted due to irresponsible landlords. Mr. Schrader owns the
rental properties at 1217, 1209 and 1205 Brighton Road ... However, the
problems with Mr. Schrader's properties are dwarfed in comparison to what's
happening across the street at 1208 Brighton Road, a rental house is owned
by K & E Properties (here is the corporation's information, including
details about the managers:
http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/corporations/Corp.aspx?PitemId=5009141).
This property is a complete mess -- so bad that it's actually leading some
neighbors to consider moving to escape the blight.
The yard, which is filled with junk cars, is often covered -- and I mean
COVERED -- in trash. The tornado damage there still has not been addressed,
with broken pieces of the house still hanging off the front and a large
amount of tornado debris in the backyard. There are two pit bulls that are
kept tied up in the backyard on a short chain; neighbors have said they do
not have access to water and are kept there for long stretches in violation
of the anti-tethering ordinance. I am not in a place to witness the illegal
tethering, though I have met the dogs and am concerned about their
condition. I do not know if the neighbors have reported the issues to Animal
Control. There are young children living at this house, and I and other
neighbors are concerned about the conditions they're living in.
Due to in-street sewage repairs.
So, take a detour via King Charles or Millbank to Raleigh Blvd. to save yourself the trouble :)
Best, Vanessa

Howdy,
Just an FYI, we just spotted several folks running down our street, Rumson, with LED lights, hollering at each other.
They are better known as hashers, an extreme fun-run club that chases a 'hare' thru odd locations and they started their run at the Oakwood Dog Park tonite.
So if you do spot them, don't be alarmed, just yell "ON-ON" to confuse them :)
Best,
Vanessa

Our house, 2334 Glascock St is undergoing reconstruction from the April
tornado. This evening, around 7:15 or so, a neighbor called to report seeing
two middle aged African-American women standing in our backyard looking
around. He confronted them, and they claimed to be working our contractor,
which is false. He ran them off and they drove away in a green van, license
plate ACD-4070. The police said that license plate is registered to a Honda,
but our neighbor is confident those numbers are correct. The police said
they were likely thieves looking for scrap metal, tools, wood, etc.
Keep your eyes on any construction sites near you for people wandering
through yards during off hours and call 911. Give the police a chance to
catch such people.
