Chief would like to remind you to be careful forpeople trying to pull scams on you. They areeverywhere and very believable. Joey Glover andVictor Orona were thanked for responding to acardiac arrest call in November and because of thefast response time the person was able to thankthem a week later. Earlier this month we held aSafety meeting where Deputy Walter spoke oncrime in the Lake County area. We learned thataccording to the LCSO.org, which in the last sixmonths compared to Legacy, Country Life, LakeHarris Landing and Plantation, Hawthorne is thelowest on the crime chart at eleven reports in sixmonths which include mostly calls and scams.They ask if you see something suspicious, pleasecall right away. There is a recall on Kidde FireExtinguishers. If you think this affects you go towww.kidde.com. The rumor going around thedocks that the Boat Club would like to take over theassigning of boat slips due to me showingfavoritism is just a rumor. Susan Gilbert retired dueto medical issues after 29 years of service. Thankyou and we wish you well. Merry Christmas to alland remember Joey Glover will be expecting histwins on December 28th, so he will not be back untilthe New Year. When you see him, wish him well.

General Manager Roger Slagle reported thattwo Nodes have been installed this week and twomore Nodes are planned for today. One Noderemains to be installed and the crew hopes to have itinstalled before the week ends. The permit has nowbeen approved for three weeks for the shed forGrandma's Closet. The County said because ofvacations, flu, and being very busy is the reason fornot having it yet. Skyline crew is onsite at 165Sago Palm Drive working on drywall and concretestair work being done today as well. The siding iscomplete on 140 Sago Palm Drive. I hope everyonehas a Merry Christmas.
