TWO EXAMPLES OF ''MYSTERY MOVE-INS''



RECENTLY--OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN BESIEGED WITH UNREGISTERED,--UN-APPROVED ''MOVE-IN''
''RESIDENTS'' AND ''SQUATTERS''!
Featured below are 2 classic, recent examples!

SMOOTS, RENEThis 48 year old ''lady'', and her husband--moved into our community,around March of 2016 on Torrey Pines Ct.--Fairways Watch and numerous other concerned residents notified the office of their unusual presence.--They professed to be ''CARE TAKERS'' of a very senior ,impaired, resident.
These two people became rather obvious, by conducting a large,continuing garage sale of the owners goods,---and advertising a''cheap'' air conditioning repair service.
 Per court records--during this time--
they were having numerous law enforcement encounters--listing their address as 1818 Torrey Pines Ct!
  Even a simple name check at that time--- our management could have learned of many FELONY arrests -- their arrest records went all the way back into the ''90"s !

 FOLKS--EVEN A BLIND SQUIRREL CAN FIND A NUT ONCE IN AWHILE!


 
Then---back in November--the couple disappeared--We believe that this was do to the issuing of a warrant for her arrest --involving theft and bail jumping!
These folks were in our community for 6 months---doing what?--- only God knows!

ANOTHER CURRENT EXAMPLE!


Down on the Warwick Hills circle--

  A whole family moved in with 2 very small VERY ''active'' children!--- with another senior ,wanting a caregiver.--
 These folks were driving a loud vehicle, speeding with fraudulent  plates. These young folks were constantly on the run--24/7--with no evidence of any ''normal'' employment.
 OCSO was dispatched to this residence over 10 times in the past 9 months!--911 calls were for everything--from fights to drug thefts!
 At long last HTA sent letters of violation---and they finally left
WE NEVER WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THESE FOLKS--I BET IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING!
  IT IS MY HUMBLE OPINION--THAT THESE UN-KNOWN --UN AUTHORIZED PEOPLE--- PRESENT A SERIOUS SECURITY PROBLEM!
WE NOT ONLY NEED  GATE SECURITY--WE NEED RESIDENT MOVE-IN CHECKS FROM THE OFFICE!

 I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE HTA ''COMPLIANCE OFFICER''--COULD ALSO CHECK UP ON THINGS OTHER THAN ''PALM TREES AND A LITTLE MOLD''!

FOLKS--WE NEED EVERYONE,S
 HELP TO REPORT UNREGISTERED PEOPLE MOVING IN HERE!

WANTED !

THIS IS WHY--IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE ''MOVE IN'' RESIDENTS REGISTER WITH 
BACKGROUND CHECKS!   
 Several months back--Fairways Watch AND  numerous residents,---complained to the office about 2 suspicious appearing, move-in residents.---On Torrey Pines--living at a ''house of interest''----[YEAH--WE KNOW THAT WE WERE ''PROFILING''--SO WHAT?] 
 The 2 residents in question were a man and a woman,-- the lady resembled the person on the wanted poster below!
 The 2 persons in question have left our community--possibly of this warrant being issued.  
 IF ANYONE SEES THIS PERSON--CONTACT 911--THERE MAY BE A REWARD FOR YOU!

BURGLARY IN OUR COMMUNITY!



FOLKS--OUR HOPED FOR BURGLARY FREE YEAR--ENDED ON EARLY THIS SUNDAY MORNING!

Within the 14300 block of Spyglass St.--A home was hit by forced entry through an unlocked window. At first glance--it was believed that a pry bar had damaged the door jam. The sheriffs , after further examination , the officer believed that the burglar or multiple thieves, went in through an unlocked side window!
  A strong box was broken open--but not taken--only the contents were missing. The reported losses were mainly jewelry and a semi-matic pistol. The silver finished pistol, also had ammunition stolen with it.
  The deputy said ----''at this time of the year---burglaries, like this are rampant!'
  There were 2 nice looking bicycles found in the back yard of the victims house. The officer speculated that --the thieves could have ridden rode into the park on the 2 possibly stolen bikes---then not being able to ride the bikes, with the loot---THEY WALKED OUT OF OUR PARK!

WOULD NOT A GUARD AT THE GATE HELP?
YEAH---I THINK SO!

 LETS ALL BE EXTRA CAREFUL AND VIGILANT!

WE HAVE --''TROUBLE IN RIVER CITY''


The Music Man

Most of us remember the great old musical, show and the movie--MUSIC MAN''!
 The old refrain was --''THERE IS TROUBLE IN RIVER CITY''
 LET US TRANSPOSE THAT STATEMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY!
  Our beloved neighborhood is no different from  some other areas.----YES we have criminal activities as others around us.---It is the obligation of all residents to aid and advise our law enforcement agencies and our HTA management of known violations.
  CASE IN POINT----Lately we are experiencing unusual activities, on the west side of the Fairways.
  The defined area concerns the gate area,--Inverary Dr,--and into the Warwick Hills area.
  Fairways Watch and numerous concerned residents, have noted 2 different van type vehicles,--speeding--with loud exhaust,--involving numerous hazardous habits of operation.
  These observations also includes ,--the possible endangerment of 2 very small children,--believed to be living in the Warwick hills area!
 Two small children--male and female have been seen and reported as being transported in the vans,inside the park, with out restraints,-- reportedly hanging out of vehicle windows.
  Our local management has been advised and has been given all known facts ,reports, and pictures.
  Mrs Herrick has stated that action has been taken through the first step of legal procedures.
 The question that arises is---WHY ALL OF THIS DRIVING ACTIVITY?--- AND WHY THE SMALL CHILDREN ARE IN THIS COMMUNITY?
We ask all residents to keep an eye on the described areas.Any violations should be reported DIRECTLY to Priscilla. Fairways Watch would be appreciative to be advised also.

  UPDATE & DETAILS OF ABOVE!
 Shortly after this post was published ,--yesterday---ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE AT ONE OF THE ''HOUSES OF INTEREST''----1--2--3--4 Orange County Sheriff had 4 units dispatched to 2025 Warwick Hills circle--dispatch was for ''PHYSICAL FIGHTING''---the 4 units were sent due to the threat of violence!


MORE OF PAST HISTORY---There are 2 vans mentioned above--a dark blue Pacifica and a silver Honda.--These two vehicles have been reported speeding ,[one with fraudulent plates] numerous times with 2 very small children on board ,unrestrained!
 The deputies destroyed the paper plates from the blue van.
  It seems that these vans, run 24/7---WHY?
 In the past 8 months---OCSO units have responded to the above address over 10 times. Some of the obtained reports involved the use of heroin--and the theft of prescription drugs!---A deputys report also verifies that a young 24 year old--convicted felon HAD been living at this address!!
 FOLKS--- ALL OF THIS WAS REPORTED IN DETAIL WITH SHERIFF REPORTS ,PICTURES, AND PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS---To Priscilla---In the past week--a large paper envelope of information and proof positive pictures and police report copies-- all taken to the front desk of the office!
 Our wonderful Sector 2 deputies have done and are doing, everything they can to quell this mess!Our law enforcement of vehicle activities are very limited, due to the private road laws.
 Yesterday-- when the officers were leaving--I talked to one of the ranking deputies.----They had a detailed conversation and meeting with the ''idiots'' involved.
Law enforcement officers sometimes refer this kind of talks as a ''COME TO JESUS MEETING''---ALL LEGAL THREATS AND PRESSURES ARE BROUGHT TO BARE---On the perpetrators!
 The officer said & I quote with his permission---We ---all of the residents need to be the''SQUEAKING WHEELS''
  He asked--who let them live in here?--answer- the stupid homeowners!--His next question--Who let the homeowners do that?--answer--our management---Next he said--Do not stop with the manager--GO AFTER THE OWNER OR THE PRESIDENT!
 The officer said several times--THE RESIDENTS NEED TO KEEP BITCHING AND BEING A LOUD SQUEAKING WHEEL!
THANK YOU SIR FOR GOOD ADVICE!!!
 Thanks to our HOA president, Jean Southard sent a strong,well worded email to local and top management.

WHAT IS A ''WHOELIO''?


Image result for illustration of a mystery person

  Please do not feel badly,if you do not what a ''WHOELIO'' is!
 This is a word that the writer of this blog conjured up 
relating to the unknown, unregistered, visitors and residents--living in our community!
 Fairways Watch, tries to spend an average of 15-18 hours a week ,out in the community. We are normally out from 7AM, on all streets until around 8;30AM in a truck--then , in the evenings,out on our golf cart, at different hours.
 Be advised that we are not the only people watching an observing.-- We have numerous good watchers.---In our travels about our community,there are vehicles as well as persons ,that do not seem to fit the typical ''Fairways profile''!
  YES---I used reference to a term that some may find offensive.-----Profiling---Below is a picture,taken recently,that exemplifies, someone that does seem a little out of place in our ''over 55''community!
Several evenings ago,--We seen this 20--30 year old skate boarder ,come through our often open,--inviting gate---He was dressed a little odd--with an old style ''aviator cap''--ear phones on,and awkwardly,moving along on a skate board.--- This person went to a house on Pebble Beach,--that has a history of OCSO service calls.
It is our experience, not to question these types of individuals--they are not always forthcoming. 
It is best to quietly follow people such as this and make note of the address that they go to. After we have an obvious  address---we advise the management with details and pictures, if we have photos.
  We have no authority to make any inquiry in matters such as this--ONLY THE HTA MANAGEMENT HAS THAT AUTHORITY!
 In cases such as this--the required time to call for the sheriff  for a suspicious is prohibited.
  The following morning--we seen this same person leaving the same house on Pebble Beach--going up the street ,leaving the park west bound. All of this information,along with this picture was sent to Priscilla.
 Hopefully ,our management, followed up on this report,and resolved any questions of approval and park registration!
YEP!---I CONSIDER THIS MYSTERY SKATEBOARDER A ''WHOLIEO''

PROBLEMS FROM THE OUTSIDE!


Gallery ImageFairways Watch has received numerous reports of a speeding ORANGE DODGE CHARGER! [similar to picture]
 The car is regularly seen, early in the mornings and late afternoons.--- The most frequent reporting is on and around Warwick Hills Dr. One resident was almost ran over at 5;30am, putting out trash on garbage day!
 With the help of several Warwick Hills residents---we have obtained the following collaborated information.
 Around 5-6 am every workday morning---The orange Dodge comes to a certain home ,on the circle. 
 A young female driver''drops off'' a small child,possibly for the purpose of ''daycare''
 After the child is left at the known house---The orange Dodge car roars off --in a ridiculous manner, with exhaust and tire noise.
   WHY?---WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR?
 Earlier today, Fairways Watch, sent a detailed narrative of this repeated ''fiasco''.with the known house physical address!
 At this writing ----Priscilla responded and will let the people involved know!---If it continues---advise Priscilla
  Other residents may like to comment, direct to management.

FOUR WHEEL PREDATORS!

Many of the Fairways residents enjoy and appreciate ,some of the many unlisted amenities that we have living among us.----We make reference to the many species of                                                                                                                 beautiful wildlife, around-- and in our community.




SADLY ,EARLY THIS MORNING--2 OF OUR BEAUTIFUL ''AFLAC'' PEKIN DUCKS WERE LITERALLY SLAUGHTERED BY A ''STUPID 
AZZ'' --NON -DRIVING IDIOT!!
 The remains of the carcasses, leads to believe that the non-flying birds were struck and ran over,by a vehicle ,far in excess of the NEW posted 15 MPH!
Many times--we slow down or stop for the protected SandHill cranes.----Why not the smaller unprotected, defenseless creatures?
Many of us , go out in the evenings ,with the purpose of just watching, some of Gods more curious and precious creatures. 
 The Pekin ducks are very trusting with humans--at times they are can be almost like pets.
This breed of ducks are domesticated and can not fly or move very quickly.

AN UNRELATED EVENT
Early this AM--around 7;30--Fairways watch--witnessed the following----We were stopped at the Kingsmill stop sign at Inverary
Very quickly-- came a small red Ford Focus,up Inverary--headed for the gate.---Their speed was estimated at far above the 15 MPH limit! There was no decrease in speed or brake lights,--as the car roared through the stop sign at Pebble Beach!----ADIOS YOU OLD FARTS!
 I recognized the driver as an under 55 years of age,registered female resident that lives on Pine Valley.
 I have gotten other negative comments of her ''stupid azz'' driving habits!
SO-- WHAT CAN WE DO?
Randy and I have cussed and discussed ,some of the ''driving fools'' in here many times.---The main problem is ---there is no legal means of enforcement for common sense driving ,in our troubled  community!
 I will attempt this---Fairways Watch owns a small 
''portable dash video cam'', --It can be mounted on my golf cart or truck.---Over a year ago--Randy and I used it up around the gate, during the burglary crisis.
 We did get some positive results of walk ins, even at night.
 Possibly---if we can get a few videos of some crazies, 
driving in here--it might help!
HEY FOLKS---GIVE US SOME IDEAS
JUST TRY TO KEEP IT CLEAN!

WHO KNOWS?--WHO IS REALLY LIVING IN THE FAIRWAYS?

WHO IS ON FIRST?


 Most of us remember the old Abbott & Costello, legendary comedy skit--''WHO IS ON FIRST?''
 In our community--we have a similar ''SKIT''--''WHO is REALLY, living in the Fairways?''
 Our HOA board is fortunate to have an excellent ''director of homeowners'', in Randy Muehl. Month after month, Randy solicits questions from our residents, and then follows up by submitting their questions in writing to the Fairways management. --Far too often the responses are,---incoherent or seemingly unhelpful and sometimes,are not even related to the simple questions asked.----EXAMPLES-- as taken from our last HOA minutes
 Randy asked--''What are we doing to police the number of underage, nonresident, questionable felons, moving into the community?--is the community patrolled?--How do we monitor rental houses and who the leases are?--Do we ever just knock on the door and check things out?''
GREAT QUESTIONS RANDY!
 Our manager answered---
''These questions have been asked repeatedly---We have never had a public patrol---We have asked the residents about their desire to have a full time gate attendant and share the cost--The board turned it down on the behalf of the residents!''
  ''WE register rental residents the same way all other residents register--with an application of residency--if you are referring to a homeowner who rents out their home or a home of a deceased relative, and does not notify the office---The only way that management can know, is by the help of the neighboring residents!''

Our manager continues---
 ''EVERY RESIDENT HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR PRIVACY''
  ''Management does not have the right to go up to a house and demand to know the identity of each person in the home---just like other residents and Neighborhood Watch!''
  We dont want to create a negative environment for our residents!''

So---there you have it folks--- it's all OUR FAULT if the felons and unknowns are in here with us!

  GO FIGURE!

A SPECIAL NOTE AND A BIT OF HISTORY


CURRENTLY--THE PERSON BELOW IS WANTED BY THE ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE!
In July of 2011 ,this man was arrested in the FAIRWAYS--for all of the crimes listed below!
 This well known drug dealer was known as ''J-BABY'' to some of his customers that were living in the community.--[ they are now deceased or have moved from our community]
 This man was tracked into the Fairways in July of 2011, by the ''TAC'' squad of OCSO. ---He then preceded to allude the officers by driving on the golf course, and finally wrecking his car between 2 houses on Inverary. ''J- Baby'' was arrested by a K-9 deputy,shortly there after on Kingsmill-----It was not pretty!
 J- Baby went to state prison and was released in 2015.
 During this episode, Captain Massie had over 30 units in the Fairways!--a massive successful operation!
 NOW--OCSO IS LOOKING FOR THIS MAN FOR A DIFFERENT REASON---  HE IS A PERSON OF INTEREST IN THE MISSING PERSON OF A YOUNG WHITE FEMALE!--All details are currently on ALL of our TV stations

WATCH IN REMEMBRANCE!


 Recently, it seems that we , in the Fairways have had an abnormal loss in numbers of residents by their passing. We would request that all of us watch over the recently vacated homes. 
 It was a well established fact ,by 22 burglaries last year,that we have the possibilities of theft losses from furnished,and uninhabited houses.
 It would be foolish to give out the referenced decadents homes addresses. Most of our good neighbors, in the neighborhoods, know which of the  homes are unoccupied.
 Lets all be good neighbors and guardians for the homes left behind. If anyone suspects unknown people, around a vacant home---call the law enforcement number of 407 836 4357, for a security check.
AN UNRELATED ISSUE 
We have received complaints from renters of the RV storage compound. These good people pay at an average price of $60--$70 per-month for parking space at the enclosed compound. Recently--the gates have been left open, sometimes by residents & other times by the Maint. people. The renters are demanding what they are paying for!
 i asked for their complaints be given to our homeowners representative, Randy Muehl.

BEWARE--THESE SCAMMERS ARE AROUND HERE!


Recently,a Fairways couple moved to an assisted living facility--out of the immediate area.As many folks have done,--they listed their very nice home for sale.
 After a short period---cars started coming to the home and looking at the house with no realtor present. 
To make a long story short----an observant resident noticed the strange activity. The owners were notified & upon investigation---this nice home was listed on CRAIGSLIST ---for the very ''affordable'' price of $500 per month plus $600 ''security deposit''---OH YES--THIS WAS A HELL OF A DEAL!
  The owners quickly advised the realtor, and the Craigs listing was removed!
 Just another reason to keep the gates working !

SCAM NUMBER TWO--MOVING SCAM!
Some residents may have seen this unusual scene early one morning recently.
 Here is the abbreviated story---A new resident buyer from the mid-west ,contracted a moving firm to bring his belongings to the Fairways.
The moving company selected [with due diligence]
 was Supreme Van Lines of Miami Fl.
 The initial agreed on written estimate was $1355.00.
 After many weaves and bobbing--the final ''ransom'' payment, demanded
 was over $ 2600.00 with additional physical damage to his Fairways home!
THE GRANDFATHER CLOCK ---was not delivered with the furniture!
 After days of threatening--the clock pictured above was left in the street intersection, in the middle of the night!
The clock was damaged beyond repair!
By law their is little protection against heathens like these.
We have seen stories like this on TV-- but folks --it can happen anywhere!
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

BROKEN GATE VISITORS!

VERY SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE!
About 4 PM Saturday afternoon,Fairways Watch received a call from a couple,regarded as some of our best active ''watchers''--- it was reported that 2 people--not believed to be residents, were going ''door to door''---down the east end of Spyglass St.
 Upon joining the watchers,--we confronted the two pictured above. Their explanation was that they were ''collecting newspaper bills'' for the Orlando Sentinel!
THAT IS BULL-CRAP
Most folks know that business with the Sentinel is only done by phone or on line.
It had been also reported,that they had shook a door handle on a house after knocking!
We all demanded that they cease and desist & immediately leave the Fairways---they were also advised that 911 was called.
 The two started walking west bound on Spyglass, as to leave the park. We, the observers were monitoring their departure. The two people,''detoured'' around Maidstone as if not ready to leave. After a reminder that the ''sheriff was on the way''---the two asked for a ride to their truck----we respectfully declined--for obvious security issues.
 We 3 observers continued following these folks to the
broken outbound gate. The 2 questionable folks, walked across to our ''infamous'' filling station. The 2 visitors were joined by 2 other unknown men in a gold colored Lincoln!
Plate number----
DGW C97 ---The car then went to Deerwood --no information after that!
 All of this information will be sent to Deputy Conner.
ANYONE SEEING THESE PEOPLE OR THE PICTURED CAR, IN OUR COMMUNITY--PLEASE NOTIFY FAIRWAYS WATCH OR CALL 911.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF CAUTION NEEDED AT THE MAIL BOXES---AND AN UPDATE!

BE ON GUARD AT THE MAIL BOXES!
The new traffic pattern at our mail box area, can be a much better arrangement, if all folks abide by the signage and common sense. I do believe that we do have a way to go for complete safety.
 HOWEVER,--there is a new caution to be issued for our mail pickup.
Saturday evening, about 7;30 pm-- Fairways Watch received 3 different calls from concerned residents. The comments were all the same subject.
An older black car was parked in the front area of the mail structure. A young male ,got out of the car, picked up-- and carried some of the ''trashed'' mail from the green refuse box,---and threw the rejected mail into the rear seat of the automobile!!
We were out in the park at the time that the calls were made---but the car had left ,before we arrived. One caller said that 911 was called ,but no dispatch was shown on service calls.
  NEXT QUESTION WHY?
We can only speculate that someone was after discarded coupons,--or,--more important--financial information,such as pre-approved credit card offers with names and addresses!
NEVER--NEVER DISCARD ANY TYPES OF YOUR PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION AT THE OPEN MAIL BOX TRASH!

UPDATE!
PLEASE READ PREVIOUS POST FOR COMPLETE NARRATIVE.
On the evening of July 20--we received a call from one of our most trusted and active members of Fairways Watch. This person had seen & identified,the young man,pictured,--leaving a home on Inverary Dr.
This young man was picked up by another young ''person of interest''  resident, in an identified car!
 The address was noted .
 Adding to the observance was the fact that a matching golf cart ,in the picture was in the same car port.
The following morning---all this information was sent to Priscilla Herrick.--- Priscilla had been told previously of this young man--his picture,--and the information of 2 previous sheriff dispatches for him!
The address & name of the owner,and cart picture was all sent to the office.
 We got a prompt reply---
''What was I concerned about?''---''What was it about the golf cart that concerns me?''---
AND--LAST BUT NOT LEAST----''IS THERE AN UNREGISTERED RESIDENT LIVING AT THE HOME??''
  HELLS--BELLS WOMAN,---you are the one that is supposed to know who is living in here!
  I GIVE UP!

Sunday, July 17, 2016

WE ALL SHOULD KNOW!


So many times we all ask----''WHO DO WE HAVE LIVING IN HERE?''---that is a good question!---case in point is made in the narrative and pictures below!
The picture below is that of a sheriff's
unit called to a home on Warwick Hills ,--for the second time on the same day.
The officers were originally dispatched, earlier in the day for a ''petty theft'' call at the same address.
Around 6;30 PM---The officers were called back to ''remove'' a young white male, that has been living at that house.---reportedly the officers ,instructed him to put his belongings in trash bags ,and leave the house!
 The picture below was taken as the young man left the Warwick Hills area.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO THIS YOUNG MAN IS OR MORE IMPORTANT---WHERE IS HE LIVING AT NOW?
We believe that he has moved to another house in our community!---The cart is a very generic model with little distinguishing equipment.---Please note the small american flag ,on the upper front windshield, and black box on left rear.----If anyone has the requested information --please contact Fairways Watch, anonymously, and the information will be given to management for rule enforcement!----MANAGEMENT CAN ENFORCE EVENTS SUCH AS THIS---IF THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE!
MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS FEEL THAT THE RESIDENT LISTINGS AND CENSUS ARE OUTDATED AND INCORRECT!
 FAIRWAYS WATCH AGREES!
HOMETOWN  AMERICA!

-OUR HOMES ARE OPEN!

YEP--THAT'S WHAT THE SIGNS SAY!

The gates are wide open,and have been for some time!
WHY?---It does not matter---the fact is --the gates don't work and are as-- ''worthless as teets on a boar hog'' ---Many people bought and trusted HTA to be a ''GATED COMMUNITY''--they put their money down----WAY DOWN -$$!
  Management may say ---''the mcgillacutti perdunkle '' broke and the parts are on order---SO WHAT?---did they ever hear of overnite Federal Express?
  Recently , the community has had some unusual happenings.----The misdeeds at the pools are a large part of the mysteries--but not all. We have numerous encounters of unknown visitors in here. 
  Take a look at the right side outgoing gate post----it has already been hit and pulled out of plumb!
  The open gates with the ''inviting signs'' say it all!

 I would encourage the concerned residents to ''BADGER'' HTA management--beyond the local command!

WHY SHOULD WE PUT UP WITH THIS CRAP?


  HELL ON WHEELS!
Recently,--Fairways Watch has received numerous calls and reports concerning this young man speeding on his new ''crotch rocket''!
For all of us old coots-- a crotch rocket is---
What is a crotch rocket?

crotch rocket is a special type of motorcycle, very popular, especially among young men, usually for it's power to weight ratio, speed and killer looks. Since it is easy to handle and fast, it is very popular among stunters. It's a beautiful sport bike with an aerodynamic shape, capable of high speeds.
 Yes--- this young man is a resident!--estimated age of 19-20 years !
The reports of speeds are in excess of 50MPH in the 14700 block of Spyglass
 Early this AM --I sent Priscilla pictures

SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP!

A HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO EVERYONE!
We should all be able to enjoy our great holiday in a PEACEFUL environment.
Fairways Watch has received numerous complaint calls regarding illegal fireworks in our retirement community.
 Not only does the loud explosions disturb the residents ,but also the loving pets and our beautiful wildlife.
 Our community rules, in our new prospectus, states that there will be no fireworks discharged in our community. [page 14]
 In addition to our own rules, the Florida laws prohibit most fireworks in a NON COMMERCIAL manner.
  see below
Florida law prohibits any fireworks that fly through the air or explode — such as Roman candles, bottle rockets and mortars — for recreational use. But according to state law, if they are used to scare off birds from farms or fish hatcheries, the explosives are fair game.Jul 1, 2013

Most complaints were from the Firestone Circle area
 I would encourage concerned residents to call 911
 Fairways Watch will not only call law enforcement
but will also take pictures and send them to HTA!
ENJOY YOUR JULY 4TH!

SOME NEW ''RESIDENTS''

WELCOME!
Normally the mission of this blog is to inform our community of the security issues that affect us. Unfortunately,much of the posts are of a negative nature.
  Let's take a break and discuss something positive.
Within the past 2 weeks, a good kind resident ,donated an additional 10 beautiful ''Pekin'' ducks to our community ponds.
The Pekin duck is the most popular commercial duck breed in the United States, after a small number were imported to Long Island from China in 1873 by James Palmer of Stonington, Connecticut. The animals are sometimes referred to as "Long Island duckling".

 These beautiful creatures are sociable with humans and respond to attention----especially when bread  ''crumbs'' are present.
 These 3 groups of 5 each maybe seen around the Westchester pools area---the fountain pond---and the far east pond on Spyglass St.
 Some may not consider our wonderful wild life as an amenity----BUT---many of us do think that the assorted animals and birds do add to our environment. 
  An extra treat is to go to the dogwalk areas , and meet some of our great canine friends. Frequently, you maybe able to meet ''big Frank'' [Boxer mix]---''Stanley'' [great Dane] or the ever sweet ''Suka''--the [blue eyed Huskey] 
 SO----take time to enjoy some of the FREE amenities we have
