Greeting Neighbors and Friends, A little poem about Thanks-giving Days (365 to be exact) It’s not

just about one day a year, it’s about every day and everyone in your days. Be thankful! Be thankful for this day, and you will fill it with joy. Be appreciative of those around you, and they will bring much value to your life. Be grateful for your opportunities, and you’ll find your-self making the most of them. Be thankful for what you have, and you’ll get more from it. Be grate-ful for the challenges, and they will help you become stronger. Appre-

ciate the dark, cloudy days and they’ll instantly become brighter. Appreciate the sunny days, and you’ll enjoy them even more. Those things you take for granted will fade from usefulness as you forget they’re even there. By con-trast, those things for which you’re thankful remain readily available and will grow even stronger as a result of your appreciative atten-tion. Consider how very fortunate you are. Consider it often. The more you count your blessings, the more there will be to count. (Author unknown)

Remember to send your December messages, pictures and announce-ments.With gratitude,Cindi Matter

To Fix or Not To Fix

(The Roads)

as a former member of the U.S. Navy and an industrial arts teacher and contrac-tor, I know the old saying, “an ounce of

prevention is worth a pound of cure” are more than words in this state. No matter what the manufacturer or sales people tell us, the Florida sun cuts the time that products are supposed to last by a great margin. Another problem we have is the soil under our homes and streets. Our homes develop settling cracks and the same happens to our streets. The cracks that you see are not necessarily bad for your auto, but it lets moisture in and this will play havoc with the asphalt, causing ruts and holes.

We have a system in place to do work on the roads at a given time in their life cycle. That would basically mill down the entire road and

place a new asphalt surface on top. The problem is that it’s extremely expensive to you, the homeowner, and the ruts and holes do a job on your auto until it’s done. We are now in the process of milling (removing about 1” of asphalt) and patching all of the cracks with new asphalt. This will seal the cracks. After about 30 days of drying out the new asphalt, we will come back and spray a heavy duty sealer over

the entire road. This sealer fills in all the small cracks and imperfections in the asphalt.

If needed, we will be back every three to four years to repeat this process, fixing any new cracks that develop and resealing the road surface. This should increase the road life by about twelve years before a major rip out must be accomplished.

This is the same procedure for the townhouse parking lots as well as the streets in the indi-vidual home villages. Remember that oil/gas spilt on the surface will eat right through. If you see this, a small amount of kitty litter will soak it up before it does too much harm.

On behalf of myself and the MPII CDD Board, I want to thank you for your cooperation while this process is being completed. Feel free to call me at 991-5016 if you have any questions about this project. v

Respectfully,Mark Glassman MPII CDD Supervisor

recently the MPIII/IV HOA was informed by the Pasco County School Board that school bus service within

selected communities would be terminated due to street side tree branches striking passing school busses. The school board requested that tree branches be trimmed high enough (ten feet) to prevent this from happening. As a result the HOA reviewed street side trees within the various communities and found that, in addition to the issues raised by the school board, street side tree branches often impeded people walking on sidewalks and that many required pruning to help assure they would grow into nicely shaped trees.

At a recent HOA meeting the Board of Direc-tors voted to trim, prune and elevate street trees wherever it is needed in the community. On October 16th, 2010 a letter was sent to each registered property owner, the text of which is summarized below. This article is being published to assure that all residents are aware of the tree trimming actions that will take place in selected communities.

Street trees are the ones that were planted in the areas between the sidewalks and the streets. Although they are owned by the Com-

munity Development District, each homeown-er is responsible for the care and preservation of any tree that was planted in the right of way adjacent to his or her property. This require-ment is included in the HOA Covenants signed and agreed to by each homeowner. Unfortunately, however, only a handful of the community’s street trees have been pruned correctly. Therefore, as a one-time service that ultimately will benefit the entire community, the HOA is arranging for proper pruning of street trees throughout the community.

The HOA has the financial wherewithal to make this commitment because short sales and foreclosures are leading to relatively strong recovery of long-delinquent assessments. In the past, homeowner assessments had to be increased to compensate for the high rate of delinquency. By choosing to trim street trees, the HOA Board of Directors is, in effect, re-turning assessments to members in a way that will beautify the community and protect the members’ collective investment in shade trees.

Any questions regarding the tree trimming should be directed to Steve Szekely of the HOA management office at 994-1001. v

Do You Own “Lakefront Property?”

In Meadow Pointe III and IV, the owners of waterfront lots are responsible for maintenance of all the land to the edge of the pond behind your property.

Specifically, owners of lots adjacent to ponds are obligated to regularly mow the area down to the high water line and keep the ground free of noxious weeds. In addition, if the turf in this area is damaged, you are obligated to lay new sod in order to minimize erosion. Please note, however, that the deed restrictions prohibit removal of vegetation from the pond itself.

Please remember the CDD needs access to the ponds to perform maintenance. Please remove any structures, plants or any other material that is currently restricting access to these areas.

Thank you.

Pasco Regional can do for you. Not only do our surgeons

train other bariatric surgeons in this procedure, but our

hospital is the area training center for

revisional LAP-BAND® surgeries. Here,

Mead w Pointe news pet page

Chuckie became part of our family Thanksgiving 2008. Chuckie is a Pekingese

mix…some have told us he’s a Pekapoo. He definitely has the personality of a Pekingese and will let you know it occasionally. Our friend Brian sent us a picture of one of his rescue dogs and it was love at first sight when we saw his picture. Brian takes in dogs that have health issues and that no one wants to adopt and that would otherwise be put down. He provides a sort of hospice for them giving them the required food, medicine and love…all out of his own pocket…. for the rest of their days. As a certificated pilot he will fly to various shelters to pick up

these dogs and provide his special care. He is indeed an unsung hero to our pet population. Brian found Chuckie at Ft. Lauder-dale Pekingese Rescue. Appar-ently he ended up there when his lady owner was jailed. He told us Chuckie was a “special” dog. Little did we know just how special and how he would take over our lives. Chuckie had just been neutered when we got him and he was understandably disoriented and miserable with all the change. His surgery became infected and his sutures burst on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. By the Grace of God we were able to reach Dr. Reddy of Seven Oaks Pet Hospital at

home and he met us at his clinic in half an hour and performed emergency surgery on Chuckie to save his precious life. Dr. Reddy is our hero now…the absolute best in the business..and he and the staff at Seven Oaks Pet Hospital now have a special place in their hearts too for the Chuckster. Chuckie enjoys his routine morn-ing walks around the Manor Isle neighborhood where the neighbor ladies love to stop and pet him. Chuckie also enjoys meeting up with and playing with his two best neighborhood canine friends Colby and Champ.

Chuckie loves to travel. He loves to stick his head out the window and ride “hair straight back” ..at low speeds of course… around the neighborhood. He loves to people watch and enjoys vacationing with us at the condo and the beach at Cape San Blas each summer. It is amazing how such a small beast can capture our hearts and become the center of our lives. He has truly brought lots of love and laughter…along with some chal-lenges…to our home. - Arnie & Sonja Newland
