Feeding the stray cats is it a problem?

Encephalitis and Dengue Fever are some of the mosquito borne illnesses. The CDC and other governmental agencies recommend not having standing water, puddles or receptacles that may be a reservoir to harvest the mosquitoes’ larva thus increasing the mosquito population.

 We have an elderly woman that does not live on Cutlass Avenue and drives a late model grey SUV that feeds the cats daily and leaves water in receptacles that may be a good source for harvesting mosquitoes. She, against neighbor’s wishes continues to disrespectfully leave these offending receptacles with food and water for the stray cats. 

This person trespasses private properties daily and leaves these receptacles in people’s private yards and Village owned public properties; additionally her actions can be considered littering.   She is very aware that the residents of Cutlass Avenue wish her to stop, so she comes around 6 am in the morning when no one is around to see her. Additionally toxoplasmosis can be transmitted from cats’ feces to humans. I love cats; however I love children and people more.

 I wonder why this person does not feed the cats on her own block.  Why does she choose Cutlass Avenue and North Treasure Drive where she is not wanted? The Mayor and the police department are very aware of this problem and have promised to address it but nothing has been done yet! Last Thursday and Friday I left the house very early and on Cutlass Avenue and North Treasure Drive counted over ten cats waiting for the elderly lady to arrive!   Where do her rights ends and ours begin, I ask?

Honestly opinionating!

PUTTING NORTH BAY VILLAGE FIRST

Fighting for a Cleaner North Bay Village...The Countdown has begun!

 

North Bay Village Commission addresses the spilling garbage commercial container problem on Tuesday November 12, 2013 in their regularly scheduled commission meeting. The Mayor like in most meetings spoke very authoritative and basically ordered for the problem to be solved or at the very least improve greatly. Mayor Leon-Kreps continues to fail as a leader but wastes no time to make political speeches that sound good but get us nowhere. You will recall a picture that was posted about a month ago with the garbage spilled and numerous Turkey Vultures having a field day. Here is the status of the garbage containers belong to the Causeway Towers on November 14, 2013 at around 6:30 pm. Two days after the meeting. This is the building that houses the Village hall. Additionally at the commission meeting was proposed to rent additional space! You make your own conclusions positive? Negative? Too critical? The countdown has begun.

 

Thank You Veterans!

The Garcia Family of Cutlass Avenue in North Bay Village with immense gratitude and a heartfelt genuine appreciation we thank all of the past, present and future United State Veterans,  GOD BLESS AMERICA!
