National Night Out!!

Your Arbor Greene Neighborhood Watch is sponsoring our first annual “National Night Out” on Tuesday,

August 3rd, from 7-9PM at the Arbor Greene Community Center.

What is National Night Out? It is America's Night Out Against Crime! The "27th Annual National Night Out” is a

unique crime / drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). We cordially

invite you and your family to be a part of our National Night Out (NNO). Tampa Police Department personnel

will be attending our event, including possibly McGruff the Crime Dog, the TPD canine unit, TPD horse unit,

etc. We will be providing security tips on how to keep yourself, your family, and your home safer. We will also

have free refreshments and be giving away security related products. Please feel free to come to the event at

any time between 7-9PM.

According to the NATW, last year's National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic

groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from over 15,000 communities from all 50 states,

U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide. In all, over 36 million people participated in National

Night Out 2009.

National Night Out is designed to: heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for, and partici-

pation in, local anti-crime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a

message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

We also encourage residents to join the Arbor Greene Neighborhood Watch Association (NWA) e-mail distribution

group, to receive Tampa Police Department (TPD) reports and notifications about criminal activity in the New

Tampa area.

You will also be given personal and home security tips. If you would like to receive these tips and other relevant data

tribution group. Joining this e-mail distribution group does not obligate you to any other NWA activity, but should

To show your support for National Night Out, we ask you to join in the traditional display of turning on front

and rear outdoor lights. We look forward to seeing you on August 3rd, from 7-9PM at the Arbor Greene

Message from the Arbor Greene HOA

Here are a few highlights from the Arbor Greene Cove-

nants and Design Review Guidelines that each home-

owner should know. All of the documents are posted

online for your review at www.arborgreene.org/arbor-

greene/downloads.html. Your cooperation in keeping

Arbor Greene a neighborhood everyone can enjoy is

appreciated.

Exterior Painting - An Alteration Application MUST

be submitted to the Design Review Board before you

paint the exterior of your home. Prior to approval, a

swatch of the house color and trim color must be

painted on the front of your home so the Design Review

Board members can view the color from the street. A

swatch must be painted and approved even if you are

painting your home the same original color. Failure to

comply may result in fines and/or legal action.

Trash Containers – Trash containers (and yard waste)

may only be placed at the end of driveways after 6pm

the night before pickup and removed as soon as possible

after pickup. At all other times, trash containers must be

stored such that they are screened 100% from view of

the front roadway, adjoining property and common ar-

eas. Please ensure that all lawn and tree trimming debris

is secured in some way to prevent it from getting into

the street.

Watercraft - No Owner may store or park a boat, other

watercraft and/or boat trailer within his parcel, except

within a fully-enclosed garage, and provided such stor-

age does not cause a vehicle to be parked on the drive-

way. In all other instances, boats and boat trailers shall

not be stored or parked within the Property or any por-

tion thereof.

Motor Vehicles, Trailers, Etc. - There shall be no out-

side storage or parking within any parcel or within any

portion of the Common Property of any mobile home,

trailer (either with or without wheels), motor home,

tractor, truck, commercial vehicles of any type, camper,

motorized camper or trailer, motorized go-cart or any

other related forms of transportation devices. Vehicles

Back to School

Summer is almost

over and you know

what that means! It’s

school time again!

First day of school is

August 24th for Hills-

borough County. Par-

ents can now exhale

that sigh of relief, sorry kids. But now it’s time to think

about getting the kids (and ourselves) back into the

school mode.

Be Prepared. The best overall advice to get ready for

back to school..start early!! Don’t wait until the Friday

before school starts to get ready.

Clean Out and Refresh. Go through the house. Get rid

of any of last year’s paperwork that you don’t want to

keep. Get rid of any broken craft supplies, such as bro-

ken scissors, pencils, pens, crayons, etc.

Shop Early. Get the school

supply list as early as you

can. Buying things early

gives you the “pick of the

litter!” Also establish a

budget for back-to-school

supplies. Look for special

offers. Take advantage of

sales, coupon offers and the

tax free period, 8/13-8/15.

Get and Stay Healthy. Check with your child’s doctor.

Make sure your child’s immunizations are up-to-date.

Check with coaches about sports physicals. Schedule

those as soon as possible.

Food Rush. Mornings are hectic. Tempt kids with tasty,

yet nutritious, treats. Pack lunches that satisfy kids’

taste buds by choosing healthy snack foods that fit into

all levels of the Food Guide Pyramid. Serve your kids

snacks like sliced apples with peanut butter or carrot

sticks with ranch dip.

Family Time. Family time

counts. Everybody is busy, par-

ents and kids. But a little to-

getherness goes a long way, so

it’s important to find the time to

have a family dinner, watch a

Friday night movie, make Sat-

urday pancakes, or play an eve-

ning game of cards. Most chil-

dren also crave one-on-one time with a parent.

lowed up to twice a week, on assigned days. Irrigation

must be accomplished between 12:01AM and 8AM or

6PM and 11:59PM.

- Addresses ending in 0, 1, 2, or 3 - Mondays and/or

Thursdays.

- Addresses ending in 4, 5, or 6 - Tuesdays and/or Fri-

days.

- Addresses ending 7, 8, or 9 - Wednesdays and/or Sat-

days.

All new plant material (including turfgrass) – the estab-

lishment period is limited to 60 calendar days. On days

any day of the week. On the day the plant material is

installed, this extra watering can occur only ONCE dur-

ing otherwise restricted hours. On days 31-60, even-

numbered addresses may water on Tuesdays, Thursdays

Saturdays. Following this period, all plant material is

considered established, and must follow the restrictions

outlined above.

You may hand-water plant material other than lawns

Insurance Rate Changes (Check your policies)

In January 2009, the new CSO (Commissioner’s Stan-

dard Ordinary) mortality rates went into effect, resulting

in a reduction of reserve requirements for life insurance

companies, and a reduction in premiums for most all

new life insurance policies.

If you have a policy dated prior to 2009, your life

insurance company is not going to notify you that

another policy, even with their company, might save

you money. You need to do that yourself. More than a

million people have already done so and secured lower

premiums. You should at least take a look. It costs

nothing and could save you money for years to come.

If you’d like to discuss your options over the phone,

give us a call. Ask for Frank at:

leaving the Community, please make

sure that you pull all the way up to the

white stop bar. Pulling up all the way

triggers the loop in the traffic light which will turn it

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ISSUES HEALTH ADVISORY TO

RESIDENTS - INCREASED MOSQUITO-BORNE DISEASE ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTY

The Hillsborough County Health Department has issued a Mosquito-Borne Illness Advisory for Hillsborough

County. Mosquito-Borne Illness Advisories are issued when animal surveillance data indicates a rise in arbovirus

transmission activity, indicating the increased potential for human infections, or when a locally-acquired single hu-

man case of exotic or endemic arboviral disease has been confirmed. In the past weeks, two horses in Hillsborough

County have tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis, (EEE).

EEE is a rare disease that is caused by a virus spread by infected mosquitoes. EEE virus (EEEV) is one of a group

of mosquito-transmitted viruses that can cause inflammation of the brain. In the United States, approximately 5-10

EEE cases are reported annually

The Hillsborough County Health Department continues to remind residents and visitors to avoid being bitten by

mosquitoes that may cause encephalitis disease. Hillsborough County Mosquito Control and the health department

continue surveillance and prevention efforts and encourage everyone to take basic precautions to help limit expo-

sure by following the Florida Department of Health recommendations.

To reduce the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes, Florida Department of Health, (FDOH) recommends that indi-

viduals remain diligent in their personal prevention efforts. These efforts should include the "5 D's" for prevention:

Dusk and Dawn - Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are seeking blood. For many species, this is during the

dusk and dawn hours. Dress - Wear clothing that covers most of your skin. DEET - When the potential exists for

exposure to mosquitoes, repellents containing DEET are recommended. Picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus are

other repellent options. Drainage - Check around your home to rid the area of standing water, which is where mos-

quitoes can lay their eggs. Make sure that pools and spas have continuous circulation and appropriate chlorination to

prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs.

For more information, please contact Steve Huard, Public Information Officer, 824-8044.

Pedestrian Safety in Arbor Greene

Recently, we have observed residents walking or running on the streets. FSS

316.130 (3) states, “Where sidewalks are provided, no pedestrian shall, unless

required by other circumstances, walk along or upon the portion of a roadway paved

for vehicular traffic.” Running on Arbor Greene’s narrow streets may obstruct

traffic which is a violation of FSS 316.2045.

Walking or running in the street of Arbor Greene is not only a violation, it is

extremely dangerous!! Do you know what the posted speed limit is in Arbor

Greene? Silly question right? No, it’s not! The speed limit in Arbor Greene is

30 MPH, except where otherwise posted. Some drivers in the Community do not

comply with the posted speed limit. Accidents do happen, but abiding by the rules

and walking or running on the sidewalks may prevent some or all of them.

Also, when crossing in a crosswalk, know that pedestrians do have the right of way,

but always make sure the driver is stopping for you.

Here is a list of some safety items to follow:

Use the sidewalks, not the roads to walk or run in the Community.

Cross only at intersections or at crosswalks.

Look both ways twice before attempting to cross a roadway.

Use reflective clothing, shoes, etc. You may not be as visible as you think.

Firmly hold the hand of children before and during crossing a roadway with a child/children.

Wearing headphones may prevent you from hearing a vehicle approaching from the rear.

Summer Junior Tennis Is Starting

This summer, Train Smart Tennis invites your children to join the fun of learning tennis at Arbor Greene. Our mis-

sion is to provide a systematic basic approach so your children have the opportunity to learn the game as quickly as

possible. Our approach truly teaches children the fundamentals to enjoy the life-time game of tennis and to build

self-esteem. There is no substitute for a good beginning! Our training is designed so your children can follow a

pathway to improvement and competition. The next step would be the Train Smart Players Program which has pro-

duced some of the top juniors in the area. We provide a system of training for your children, no matter what their

level of play. Summer tennis started Monday, June 8th and continues until August 12th. It’s not too late to start.

Players can sign up for one week at a time and attend 1, 2 , 3 or 4 days per week. Classes are held Monday through

Thursday from 9-10AM for 5 – 7 year olds, 10-11:30AM for 8 - 12 year olds and 13 and over.
