LONA is looking for more volunteers!
Hi! It's Pam, LONA's PR gal!
LONA is actively looking for volunteers to help in various capacities!
I have been maintaining the LONA web presence, and as I just realized, since creating our LONA's facebook page, I haven't been updating this blog site as often. The facebook page has been much easier for me to post items to, so that's where one should look for up-to-the-minute LONA information.
If anyone has the time, and would be willing to transfer all of the facebook posts onto *this* website, I would be very grateful! I simply don't have the time to do it right now!
Also, I would appreciate feedback regarding what interests and info you are looking for, and that way, I can keep that in mind as I come across different items in my newsfeed. I'm trying to cover many age ranges, and lifestyles, yet I know that I can't cover everyone all at once... but I'm trying!
Thanks for being a part of the Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association! This truly is ... Where Neighbors Help Neighbors!

SELL-EBRATION 2013
Hi, Everyone!
This is a great time of year to get out and meet our neighbors, while holding a positive event in our area!
I hope everyone will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity!
It's always a good idea to find a new home for our unwanted items, as we don't want to see useful things filling our landfill. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle is the mantra in our home, and having a fun yard sale is a terrific way to make a few dollars while helping someone discover and repurpose our hidden treasures!
I also hope that by holding our event at the same time as Maplewood's, we can help them to get more people to attend their sales, as well as ours.
Cooperation is a wonderful thing... and no one does it better than Rochester's NW area residents!
Have a great week!
~ Pamela Davis, LONA PR
PS - If you do choose to hold a sale, please feel free to post your street on LONA's facebook page in the comments section of the flyer/picture https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=478504215574168&set=a.237617859662806.55545.227243050700287&type=1&theater .
That way, the buying public will be able to plan their shopping route right to your sale! :)

FYI of FIRE SAFETY
FYI of FIRE SAFETY - Outside Fires - Can you or Can’t you - Do’s and Don’ts from the Rochester Fire Department:
With the nicer weather many people like to enjoy outside fires, from bonfires and fire pits to cooking over an open flame. Recreational fires should be able to be enjoyed outdoors as long as there is enough space and safety precautions are taken. Rochester does have regulations regarding what and where they are permitted. These include:
· Fires in approved containers (pits, chimineas, outdoor fireplaces, etc.) must be a minimum of 15 feet from any structure (including houses, fences, garages, etc.)
· Outside recreational fires, for which the pile size must be no more than 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height, must be a minimum of 25 feet from any structure or any combustible material (anything that can burn)
· Avoid outside fires on dry, windy days to prevent unintended fire spread. Never use gasoline to make a recreational fire.
· Charcoal grills or other open-flame cooking devices may not be operated on balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction (structural materials that can burn)
· If the fire is causing excessive smoke OR air quality issues that impact your neighbors, you may be asked to extinguish the fire under Rochester City Code, Section 120-164.
Please keep our neighborhood safe and fun for all. Do check the attached from Rochester Fire Chief Salvatore Mitrano.

Are you a super hero? We need your help!
Calling all those who fight for
truth, justice, and the American way!
We need Court Watchers A.S.A.P.!
Court Watch is an all volunteer program. It is a way of bringing our Lyell-Otis neighborhood's presence into the courtroom, to let the judges know that we take our area of the city seriously, and we care about improving our quality of life. We would contact you approximately twice a month, or so, but you would really make a huge and positive difference in the way our judicial system operates!
Court watchers would meet at the courthouse by 9:30am, and be prepared to stay for a couple of hours. Parking can cost up to $8 dollars for the morning in the nearby parking garages/lots. Car pooling is the best way to go - to help the pocketbook, as well as the environment!
Please email Bob Stevenson bob.stevenson77@yahoo.com to let him know that you are willing to help out, and he can answer any questions you may have. Bob and his wife have been Court Watch champions since LONA began this volunteer program ages ago! We just need more people willing to help, as more hands make light work! :)
We must demand that prostitutes and their customers ("Johns") all get the strongest punishments allowed by law. After one major prostitution detail a few months ago, we had a substitute judge (from a "rich" suburb) dismiss all the charges against the prostitutes and their customers because he did not care, nor understand, how these criminals affect our homes and our families' lives each and every day.
We don't want all the hard work of our police force to be for naught! Our police officers' long hours on the task, and meticulous attention to detail was completely disregarded, at our taxpayers' expense. The Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association (LONA) was so frustrated and infuriated by this judge's actions, and I believe our area's police officers felt let down by the system that they work daily to serve in a very professional manner.
The demand for the prostitutes' services must leave our area, as most of the customers are not city residents. We also encourage those offering their services to get the help that they desperately need - even if that help means spending time detoxing in jail.
Perhaps high school and/or college students would be able to get some sort of extra-credit for their Participation in Government, other Social Studies, or English classes for keeping a journal/log of your experiences helping out over this summer. Hey, if you don't ask, you'll never know! (Plus, there are bike racks that a bicycle could be locked onto while you were inside volunteering, so you would not spend any money to park, *and* you could get in a little workout as well! It's all good!)
I'd be willing to drive 3 people there and back, as I can't stay through the session, but I'd be glad to offer my driving skills to help advance this cause! :) Text/call me at: 585-773-5170 after contacting Mr. Stevenson.
