No Trespassing Forms Available

During our January neighborhood walk through with Chief Perlov and staff, we learned that neighborhood residents may fill out a trespassing form and return it to police, allowing them authority to arrest anyone on your property as long as they are not named on your form. In order to use the form, you must have a "No Trespassing" sign somewhere on your property (this does not need to be a large sign and it also does not need to be in a very conspicuous place). For a form, please contact either Deanna Kerrigan 821-4172) or Joseph Huberman (). Forms will be available at the February meeting.

Neighborhood Sign

At the January meeting, Boylan residents in attendance voted for the new sign colors. Check out the final version at http://treklite.com/boylan/ . We have received great support for the new sign, but still need support another $400 to meet our goal! Contact Leslie Kellenberger, BHA treasurer, to donate money toward the sign or bring your donation to the February meeting. Our goal is to have the signs up before the Memorial Day picnic.

Lake Johnson Development

For us, one of the benefits of living here is our proximity to Lake Johnson. Not only is it a beautiful well-maintained city park, but it's one of the few places where you see a cross-section of ethnicities and demographics all enjoying the outdoors. A large luxury condo project is threatening the current state of Lake Johnson. The developer, however, is willing to sell the land to the city instead of developing it. At the moment, however, there's not enough voices to be heard to make this happen. Benson Kirkman is the most energetic proponent of buying the land.

If this matters to you, you can go to www.mybirdlist.com/LakeJohnson.html and sign the new online petition to help protect the Lake. The petition is sponsored by People for Parks, 821.9059. Tracey Oliveto <yogablis@bellsouth.net>
