1) feedback on the concept level non-motorized network plan, 2) input
on additional facilities needed to complete the plan and

Subject: News from Southside!

What do you get when you combine Michigan�s largest sprint triathlon,
a new weekly farmers market, a popular community festival, and a
growing number of neighborhood park projects?� A very busy summer in
South Lansing!

Even though we�ve increased the number and size of our programs, South
Lansing CDA still operates with a small, dedicated staff.� �As a
result, we put the newsletter on hold for a few months to better
manage our resources. �We hope you enjoy the return of
SouthLansing.Org with this special edition highlighting our 2009
summer activities.

Finally, anyone interested in improving the physical environment in
Lansing (streetscapes, transportation, building designs, land use,
etc.) please take note of the Community Character Workshop being held
on October 29 (see pg. 4).� I participated in a �dry run� of the
workshop, and I think anyone interested in master planning will find
it fascinating.

AH!!! I just harrassed the original sender of that email, for not using a blind carbon copy. Now here you are sending everyones email to the rest of the world. And because we have the LENO posts public at Yahoo Groups, that's not an exaggeration. I couldn't find a way to edit the message once it was posted [1] so, I just deleted it.

Oh and... welcome back to Michigan. You were miss at my surprise wing-ding.

Hope you can help us locate the owner. A reddish brown small dog found its way on my neighbors porch Tuesday. The face looks like a miniature chow, long ears, short legs. Beautiful looking well mannered female. If you know of anyone who has lost a dog of this vague description, we have posted flyers on Glenburne Blvd, please let me know.

Thank you.

Neighborhood Safety Tip #7

7. There are so many Website’s on the internet that allows one to express themselves for fun, entertainment or to promote. Just to name a few; twitter-my space-face book, etc, etc. Be careful & Cautious on what you reveal & how much you reveal on these Website’s. You never know whose actually viewing these pages. Folks really need to be extremely wary.

*Note to parents* Please, Please monitor your children & teens whenever they log onto the internet & especially if they have a myspace-facebook, etc. page.

Neighborhood Safety Tip #6

6. If not within view or eyesight of your vehicle make sure it is locked and windows are rolled up. Not only can someone steal your vehicle but criminals can hide themselves in the back of larger vehicles such as SUV’s, Vans, etc. Do not leave valuables or electronics out in the open in vehicles that could tempt would be thieves. If possible invest in a good car alarm.

Join us as we officially open our new market and the new 3/4 mile paved path.� Shop at the market, meet local growers, learn about food preservation, try new recipes, stroll along the newly paved walking path and visit with neighbors.� Our market is unlike any other because it offers produce from community growers and urban yard gardeners as well as local farmers.�

�

This Saturday, the market will offer early harvest produce, including asparagus, radishes, rhubarb, salad greens, spinach, Swiss chard, and turnip greens, as well as garden starts and potted perennials.� We�ll also have a children�s activity table and information on food preservation presented by MSU Extension.��

�

Throughout the season, we�ll offer a growing variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as value-added products like dips and sauces, jams and jellies, honey, maple syrup, baked goods, and soaps.

�

The market and the path were made possible with support from the Michigan Department of Community Health, the Ingham County Health Department, the Lansing Parks & Recreation Department, MSU Extension, and members of the South Lansing community.�

Neighborhood Safety #4

4. If you are out gardening or doing lawn maintenance, please either be aware of your surroundings at all times or make sure you lock your doors. Someone could enter your premises while your back is turned or catch you off guard.

Neighborhood Safety Tip#3

3. Tell a trusted friend, neighbor or family members you are going out of town or will be away for a specific amount of time. If you have someone you can trust, please make sure you reiterate the importance of them not sharing your information with the whole world (smile). Please refer to the going away pamphlet that was passed out in the past.

Neighborhood Safety Tip#2

2. Be careful who you share your personal business or information with. Yes, unfortunately it is sad but true. We are in a time and era where we have to be careful who we trust and reveal information too. The people whom you entrust with personal information may be safe or trustworthy, but their teenagers or the other people they reveal your personal information too may NOT be! You catch my drift? Of course the entrusted may or do not mean you any harm, but unknowingly they may be setting you up or locking in your fate.

The tips that I am about to give you are my very own personal tips over a period of time that I have experience from observations as well as personally monitoring residence when I have visited or distributed literature. You have received pamphlets from me that I felt may or will benefit you or someone in the future or possibly even save You or Someone else’s life. Do not take the pamphlets or my tips lightly....

1. Keep your home/apartment doors locked at all times (this includes garage doors). If you have your front door open please make sure your screen door is locked and secure. Members to be honest many of YOU are guilty of not locking your screen or front doors. Yes, I checked! When I passed out literature, I cannot begin to count how many of you had your screen doors (including main/side doors) unlock. The numbers were staggering. I was thinking to myself if I was a criminal this is just way too easy.....no one probably would have known and I could have gotten away with murder-rape-or robbery. Yes, I want you to be afraid, please be very afraid. Okay, some might say people don’t know what type of protection a person has in their residence such as; dog, gun, alarms other person’s living there, etc. (9 times out of 10 you will be caught off guard). I can almost bet it is 10 out of 10 but I am throwing luck in. What good is having all this protection if you are not near it or the dog(s) is out in the back yard? Even if others are there what can they do if they are caught off guard with a gun pointed at them? So having people there does not make you completely safe. Did you know there are criminals in and out of your neighborhood that case? Casing are criminals who survey residential areas and folk’s habits to see who or what is most vulnerable.

Stay tuned....

More tips to come.

Be safe & Be well.

Neighborhood alert!

A block captain just informed me that there is a black male wearing a hoodie (age-height is uncertain because it was dark outside) knocking on folks door asking if they ordered a pizza and he has what is believe to be a pizza container or box. The contents inside of the container/box is unknown. This happen at around quarter to ten this evening. The male was caught in someones backyard that was not at home lurking, when neighbors yelled to him asking what was he doing and he ran through the common fields.

The police has been notified, but the male is still at large.

In the upcoming future I will offer tips that I have given to my neighborhood watch members that I would like to pass on regarding safety from my past experience and observations. If some of you have seen these tips, please use them as a refresher.

Be safe & Be well!
