***************************************************
Hello All -

The Flower City Work Camp is once again seeking applications for people that would like home repairs on their house.

I have worked with this group the last four years and during that time they have worked on over 170 homes in Rochester. To qualify you must be a single owner occupied of low income. Applications will be accepted until 12/15/09 by mailing to Willie Hillberg. In January they will go and evaluate every application to determine the 40 most neediest people of repairs that FCWC can do. People should know by the end of February. Then during Spring recess over 500 youth and their adult supervisors will go the designated locations and work for three days doing home repairs at no cost to the owner. They are looking for homes with a variety of inside and outside work that can keep them busy for three days. They can not do roof or gutter repairs that are above one story, but that is really the only restriction.

If you have any questions, or want me to fill out the application, please contact me. This really helps some of our most neediest people and really gets results.


I can be reached via email at stechnac@cityofrochester.gov

The D&C covered this, and you can read the article here: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20091111/NEWS01/911110357/1003/New-N.Y.-plates-evoke-nostalgia---25-fee

Also, FYI regarding the flagpole at Engine 5:

Mike Visconte called the mayor, and Mayor Duffy said that the pole would be fixed immediately.
Therefore, we won't need to write any letters.
If this situation changes, I will compose a letter, and post it here for anyone to copy and paste.

Thanks, Mike!

Invitation to participate in a survey for Rochester Area Community Foundation

The following was sent to LONA by the RACF. If you would like to fill out their survey, it would be appreciated! ~ Pam


I am writing to ask members of the “Baby Boom” generation (those born during the years 1946-1964) to complete a 10-minute, online survey for Rochester Area Community Foundation.
If you are not a boomer, you can help us by forwarding this email to your contacts.

The Community Foundation is developing a major initiative to recruit baby boomers to become mentors for Rochester’s youth. The purpose of the survey is to explore boomers’ understanding of mentoring, the barriers to becoming a mentor, and ideas for overcoming those barriers.

Your responses will be anonymous and added to those of the many hundreds we hope will take the survey. That said; we would appreciate your forwarding this email to as many people as you can.

Here is the link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=pZtE2ttJt0zlpRniI8mMUw_3d_3d

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Leonard
President and Executive Director
Rochester Area Community Foundation

Thwart Crime!!

Note: This was written by the President of the Upper Monroe Neighborhood Association. I thought it was well written, so I am posting it here, as EVERY neighborhood should heed this smart advice! Thanks, Bill! ~ Pam


The dog days of summer are upon us. Unfortunately, this is the time that theft and other crimes tend to rise in frequency across our community. LONA would like to remind you to lock your cars at night and be watchful for suspicious activities. If you see ANYTHING amiss, please do not be afraid to call the police via 911. By calling in all suspicious activities it sends the message to would be criminals that our neighborhood has a zero tolerance attitude towards crime.
See you in the neighborhood.



Note: This was forwarded to the folks on the east side of town, but just the other night, we had a strange "door-to-door" salesman appear here in Lyell-Otis! I wasn't the one who spoke with him, but I thought I'd share this information, in case this is the same man, or a copy cat criminal working in our NW area. Thanks UMNA, for sharing this information! ~ Pam

Neighbors:

The “scam artist”, or extortionist, we previously notified you of is still active in our neighborhood. We started receiving reports of him at the beginning of June and have just had another incident in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot on July 1. We have also had reports of this same man working the same scam 6 to 9 months ago in other areas of the city, including the downtown library.

Here is his description:

He may use the name Gregory Smith.
He dresses nicely and carries with him a cell phone and brief case.
He is about 5'8 to 5'10, thin, petite frame, medium black skin.
He may approach you at your home, on the street, in a parking lot, or anywhere else.
He will give you a hard luck story – none of which is true – and ask for money.
He seems to favor approaching women who are alone.

Following is a bulletin from the Rochester Police Department about this man and how to handle the situation if you are approached.


Crime Prevention Bulletin

We have received some calls regarding a person going door to door and asking for money or otherwise engaging the resident of the home in conversation. Please consider the following when someone asks you for help:

1) Never let a stranger inside your home. Tell them you would be glad to call the police (911) for them and the officer will be able to help them. If they do not want to speak with an officer, they are not in true need of assistance.

2) Report suspicious activity to the police immediately. If you observe something that seems like criminal activity, call 911. If you are mistaken in your assessment of the situation, no harm is done by the police looking into it. On the other hand if you are right….you just might prevent a crime or even help to apprehend a criminal!

3) TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS! Whether you are at work, at home or engaged in your favorite pastime, you will usually know what people and actions seem out of place for the situation. If it feels "wrong" to you, it probably is! Get away from any potential danger immediately and call 911.


Note: This info came from the South East Neighborhood Service Center 846 S. Clinton Ave.
Our contacts here in LONA are in the North West Neighborhood Service Center (known as NBD) 1099 Jay St, Bldg D, Suite 200.

Please let us (LONA) know, after you have called 911, if you are approached by this man. We want to keep track of how many people are being targeted in our NW area. Send an email to NiceNRG@aol.com.

Dear Councilmember,

It is no surprise that the City of Rochester's budget this year is going to be one that is greatly deliberated and highly debated.

It has come to my attention that there may be cost-cutting measures taken within the Rochester Fire Department. This would result in jobs being lost, and city residents' lives put in jeopardy.

I find this problematic and unacceptable! Please retain the highly trained and dedicated people of the RFD, and find a way to cut costs in other places. Places where lives aren't gambled with.

The City of Rochester has had many well publicized fires recently, and the RFD has been able to rescue many people who would have perished if the RFD had not been on the scene as quickly as they were.

To ask the RFD to do more with less is ridiculous! If anything, more funds should be given to them, so their response times could get even better!

The RFD is on-call for more than just fires, and they are very proactive in helping neighborhoods that have had fires, by literally going door-to-door to check and hand-out smoke detectors to those who are the most in need of them.

They couldn't continue to deliver this wonderfully high level of service if their staff is reduced, and made to hobble along with a bare-bones crew.

Please take the Rochester Fire Department off the budgetary chopping-block, and find a way to give them the financial support that they deserve.

Sincerely,



Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association (LONA) Resident

Meeting Notes from April 13th - to be posted soon!

This space held to post the meeting notes from April 13th.

Due to family obligations and serious illness, I am late regarding the posting of minutes.

LONA Officers are still meeting with city officials, and still working to better the Lyell-Otis neighborhood.

Please attend our meeting, and sign-up to lend a hand, so more of our efforts can be more easily seen, and our desired outcomes fulfilled!

Thank you! ~ Pam
