New Stop Sign, water mains, sidewalks and yard sale

By -
Notes from tonight's general meeting:

Mauna Loa Blvd. will soon have one more stop sign, at Friendship and Mauna Loa. The County Commission approved the addition today.

The water lines are set to be installed - it's a 120-day contract. Concurrently, sidewalks are going in on many streets (see list here) -- they'll take somewhat longer to complete. For questions about the project, contact the county coordinator, Rodney Jones, at 941 232-8295.

There's a chance we might get oak trees for the medians - stay tuned.

Plans are afoot to hold a neighborhood yard sale in the middle of March -- come to the next meeting -- Feb. 12th -- for more info!

George plans a citizens patrol training session for late February contact him at george-morgan@juno.com

Commiserations to Jeff, our new LSCGroup president, who recently suffered a back injury...get well soon Jeff!

We now are officially a FL corporation, with our own bank account. Contributions to the fund are welcome and can be mailed to:

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.
