Last reminder: Meeting Tuesday

By -

Another Reminder - Monthly Meeting on Tuesday July 10th @ 7 pm - Sarasota Baptist Church - Room #100....

Will discuss: Medians / Flag Pole / Dumpster Day / Directory

Also…..Other Reminders to Lake Sarasota residents:

CRIME, SPEEDING & TRASH in Lake Sarasota:
Here's what has helped and how you can help:

CITIZEN'S PATROL: Get involved and invite your neighbors. Let me know if you want to know more.

EMAIL LAW ENFORCEMENT: If you see something, report it to: bpollock@scgov.net & jgiasone@scgov.net
or call the Non-Emergency: 316-1201 or County Sheriff: 951-5800

TRAFFIC CALMING INITIATIVE: We have achieved lowering the speed limit and getting more stop signs.
Now we are working on speed bumps. If you haven't signed the petition and would like to, let me know.
We will have it at the meeting, too.

TRASH PICK UP: Trash begets Trash, so if we keep it picked up; most people are less likely to deposit more.
If you'd like to help with walking Mauna Loa to collect trash, let me know.
Or just keeping it picked up on the streets where you live is a big help.

Cutting of dead palm fronds in medians:
If anyone knows of someone with a bucket truck, please email me their info. The county can't do this often enough, and it needs to be done.

Thank You :)

Water Moccasin or Water Snake?

At the Lakeview Park Clean-Up, some residents were picking up some branches of a tree when a dangerous Water Moccasin slithered out and dashed into the water. It might be useful to know one when you see it, but the differences between the venomous Florida Water Moccasin (or Cottonmouth) and the wholly harmless Water Snake can be subtle. Here are a few images and links that might help. First, here's a Water Moccasin Another shot of a Water Moccasin (click for a huge image): Here's the plain old harmless Florida Water Snake: Another clue (thanks Ray): When in water, Water Moccasins move on top of the water - almost as if they were gliding on the surface, like this: Water Moccasins are to be met with extreme caution.
