The crawl space door at the house on the corner of Derby Dr. and Locke Ln. (south side of street) has been open for several days. It seems that the house may be vacant? At a minimum, this is an invitation for critters. I also wonder about potential copper theft (i.e., wires and plumbing). Does anyone know who the owner is? I noticed this several days ago, has it already been reported to RPD? -- Emrys

Longview Branch Stream

by Emrys Treasure

Hi All, As I was walking the dogs along Bertie Dr today, I couldn't help but notice the large volume of trash in the Longview Branch stream channel and buffer. In addition, there are only two trash cans between Chatham Ln and Locke Ln. The nature of the trash also clearly indicates the source (Enloe students discarding mainly styrofoam food containers after lunch). I know this issue has been raised before at CAC meetings, but perhaps we can take this opportunity to harness our emerging community watch and establish a early success story. Couple of key points and actions that I submit for discussion by this group: 1.The Enloe National Honor Society (NHS) holds the adoption rights to Longview Branch. When I was in high school, our NHS was always looking for community service opportunities and we often had funds at our disposal to conduct them (relevant to item #2). Perhaps we can partner with the Enloe NHS to conduct a spring cleanup. Proposed actions: (1) contact Enloe and the City of Raleigh Adopt-A-Stream program and determine when the last cleanup was conducted; (2) scope out what resources the City might be willing to contribute to help (especially with respect to item #2). 2. Item #1 is somewhat pointless unless we are also willing to address the source of the trash and give the students a reasonable alternative to tossing their trash in the stream. Proposed actions: (1) engage Enloe to educate their students on water quality issue (perhaps there is an Enloe environmental club or student government body that would take this on); (2) establish a density of trash cans along Bertie Dr that makes throwing trash in a trash can easier than throwing it in Longview Branch. I welcome and encourage your thoughts and suggestions. -- Emrys Treasure East CAC Co-chair Longview Park Resident

Neighborhood canvasing and recruitment effort

by Matt Leary

Hey everybody, Happy Friday. Here's a quick update on the canvasing and block captain recruitment effort from last weekend. We had a good team who braved the chilly, albeit sunny day on Saturday to go door-to-door talking to their neighbors about the Community Watch group. What a great way to meet some neighbors both new and old! Thanks to Emrys, Emily, Wayne, Marion and Sheri for going out walking with me. We found a lot of interest from our neighbors in the Community Watch group, and we definitely talked to some people who will make great block captains. We covered a large portion of the southern section of the neighborhood along Colleton, Tudor, King Charles and Bertie. We still have a little way to go in order to reach all our neighbors. So, if you missed your chance to go out with us talking to your neighbors about the Community Watch group, you have another opportunity. Last weekend, we split into teams of two and walked routes we agreed to based on a neighborhood map. We were only out a fairly short time (less than 2 hours) yet we covered a lot of ground. If we get a few more people to help us next time, we should be able to cover most of the rest of the area. Since we had positive results from our effort last weekend, I plan on keeping the process virtually identical. We'll meet at my house (500 N. King Charles Rd.) at 11:00 AM on Saturday, January 28. I'll have maps of the area, flyers and sign-up sheets for everyone. If you have a clipboard, you may want to bring it with you. Sunday the 29th will be the weather contingency day if Saturday has bad weather. Please let me know if you will be able to make it. Please call or email with any questions. mattleary(a)hotmail.com 919-389-1861. Matt Leary

Fwd: [Stevens Road] Boxer on the loose

by Emrys Treasure

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Ben Galata" <bgalata(a)earthlink.net> Date: Jan 8, 2012 7:48 PM Subject: [Stevens Road] Boxer on the loose To: <stevens-road-raleigh-nc(a)googlegroups.com> Guys, There is a sweet Boxer dog on the loose in the neighborhood. He followed me for a while, but split when I got near my house. He's got a collar and a tag, but I couldn't get my hands on his because I was walking our dogs. Grab him if you see him. Definitely not your average stray dog. Last seen on Stevens Rd 2300 block at 7:35pm. Thanks, Ben

Fwd: [Stevens Road] Loose German Shepherd running down Stevens Rd. toward the 2400 block

by Emrys Treasure

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Karen Galata <kgalata(a)earthlink.net> Date: Sat, Dec 31, 2011 at 11:19 AM Subject: [Stevens Road] Loose German Shepherd running down Stevens Rd. toward the 2400 block To: stevens-road-raleigh-nc(a)googlegroups.com It isn't MJ, he is a light colored shepherd with an orange collar on. He's very sweet and let me pet him, but ran off when a yorkie chased him down the street. Very funny actually. -- Emrys Treasure Biological Scientist Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center USDA Forest Service 920 Main Campus Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 office: 919-515-9490 cell: 919-621-9591 email: etreasure(a)fs.fed.us www.forestthreats.org/taccimo

Re: [Stevens Road] Suspicious person on Stevens

by Emrys Treasure

I saw the same guy walking on Stevens this morning. He was wearing the camouflage jacket and carrying a short metallic cane that looks very much like a crowbar. He doesn't actually use the cane to walk, but he did have a bit of a limp so maybe he needs it to go up and down stairs? The rash of burglaries aside, this would look very suspicious after dark... Does anyone know who he is? On Wed, Dec 21, 2011 at 6:06 PM, Emily Britton Treasure <aulika(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I called 911 as instructed.
