Snack Shack “Let’s Work to Reduce Crimes of Convenience” This month’s article is meant to address a growing criminal trend in the Tampa area. Many of us moved to Arbor Greene (AG) for the added security that our gates and guards afford; however, they can’t prevent all crime. A Crime of Convenience occurs when we make it easier, or tempting, for criminals to commit thefts. We increase the chances of becoming victims of a Crime of Convenience when we leave valuables unattended, vehicles or homes unlocked, garage doors open, and exterior lights off at night. Unfortunately, our gates might lull some of us into a false sense of security, making it easier for thieves to commit Crimes of Convenience in AG. Our gate security can prevent a large amount of crime, but it’s up to all of us together to try and prevent the rest.
Opening Memorial Day Weekend Snack Shack will be open daily from 10am-8pm A great way to celebrate the kick off of Summer fun!
A Crime of Convenience is one of the quickest and easiest ways for thieves to steal our valuables. Many criminals often have little to do with their time but take advantage of an opportunity to commit a crime. When we leave our vehicles or homes unlocked, or valuables unattended, we may be creating that opportunity. Some basic security tips to help prevent these crimes are to lock all doors, windows, lanai doors, and fence gates; shut garage doors; turn on front and rear home lights during the hours of darkness; and turn on an alarm system if you have one. Don’t forget to inventory and photograph your valuables and store that information in a secure location. Make sure to secure your home or vehicle while you are away even if it is for a short period of time. If you would like more details about the topic above or security tips and other relevant data from the Tampa Police Department (TPD), please email us at ArborGreene-NWA@hotmail.com. Joining the email group does not obligate you to be involved in any NWA activity, but should help you and your family to be better informed and more secure. The AG NWA is an allvolunteer run program overseen by the TPD. Thank you for your continued help in keeping AG one of the nicest and safest communities in New Tampa.

Landscape Tips The Southwest Florida Water Management District has offered these helpful tips for having a Florida -friendly yard.
Tip #3 Fertilize Appropriately
Tip #4 Mulch Who likes to weed? Keeping mulch on your plant beds helps control weeds, retain soil moisture and reduce erosion and stormwater runoff. Follow these tips when mulching: Cut down on mowing by replacing grass with mulch in areas that are shaded or difficult to mow. Keep the level of mulch up to 2–3 inches by applying it once or twice a year. Keep mulch 2 inches from the base of plants to avoid disease. Let fallen tree leaves stay under a tree to create selfmulching areas. Look for cypress mulch that is not harvested from Florida’s wetlands. Choose recycled mulch or alternatives like
When too much fertilizer is applied to landscapes, it seeps past the root zone of the grass, plants or trees and into the aquifer or runs off into water bodies. Plants, animals and people depend on clean water for survival. Follow these tips to help prevent water pollution: Fertilize lawns, trees and plants only to maintain health. Don’t exceed recommended amounts. Fertilizer will not help poor growth caused by too much shade, disease or pests. Use slow-release fertilizers that make nutrients available to plants for a longer time. They are kinder to the environment and are usually more cost-effective. Use iron instead of nitrogen if you want to green-up your lawn.
melaleuca, leaves, pine needles or bark.
Hold off on fertilizing if a heavy rain is expected, and don’t overirrigate after applying. Follow the application directions on the fertilizer package. Avoid weed and feed products.
