Hi LPCW'ers, Just a heads up if you haven't heard already, there were three houses on Milburnie that were broken into last week. From what i've heard TVs were stolen, as was a gun. All three occurred around mid-day with forced entry through back door. Please be extra vigilant and don't hesitate to call 911 if you see anyone or anything that looks suspicious. Doors locked, Ginger -- Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught, will we realize that we cannot eat money. ~ 19th century Cree saying Hasta que el último árbol sea cortado, hasta que el último río sea contaminado, hasta que el último pescado sea atrapado; solo entonces nos daremos cuenta que el dinero no se puede comer. ~ profecia Indios Cree

Hey Deborah, Thank you for your email. Vanessa and I are doing well, and so is my mom. We all moved to a house off of Ridge Rd. We sold my mother’s house, and now she lives with me and Vanessa. She has her own apartment with a kitchen, bath, office and laundry. So, it works out well for us. Yes, you heard correctly; Vanessa and I are new parents as well. Vanessa gave birth to a bouncing baby boy in February. His name is Daniel and he’s a beautiful boy. Needless to say, we have had our hands full lately, so I haven’t dedicated much time to the LPCW lately. If possible, I’d like to transition the LPCW to somebody living in the area. If you all would like to meet to transition the LPCW stuff, I’m happy to do so. Just let me know. Take care, Matt From:Deborah Ford [mailto:dialmeupford3@ymail.com] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2014 3:41 PM To: Matt Leary; Leary, Matt Cc: Paula Arrington; Karen Holden; Kimberly Izuogu Subject: RE: Longview Park Community Watch..

I shared some comments at that meeting. This email is to offer additional information and cost associated with a revised plan. I plan to send this to the other Council members but desire to share it with you first. If you wish to contact me about this letter before I send it to other Council members, you may contact me by phone at 919-834-4875 or reply to this email by 8:00AM March 20, 2014.. If you desire to share this information with the Transportation Planning Department, I do not object. They might adjust the options cost to account for unknown requirements. My conversation with some of the street property owners and residents revealed that they did not expect anything as proposed and do not like it. My letter was prepared to submit positive information and not to criticize their plan in a negative manner. I have been informed that the East Citizens Advisory Council has not voted on the proposed plan although presentations have been shared. I hope this is helpful in selecting the best solution to correct the speeding concerns. Thank you for you efforts concerning this concern.

Re: [East-CAC] Concern in the Community for Action

by Emrys Treasure

There was a deliberate effort by the Longview Park Community Watch (LPCW) to engage Enloe on this and other related issues. We met with school officials and discussed strategies for proactively engaging students on the issue, including a concept where student organizations would design, decorate, and deploy trashcans along Bertie Drive (if LPCW could provide the trashcans). Reactive/punitive measures were also considered. In addition,LPCW partnered with the Enloe National Honor Society to conduct cleanups through the City of Raleigh's Adopt-A-Stream program. These efforts were suspended during the stream restoration project, but now might be a good time to rekindle them. On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 8:46 AM, <emilycbrooks(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I agree.
