As your Sheriff, I want to remind you that no matter where you park your car or truck, please make sure your doors are locked when you walk away. Typically we see more car burglaries in the summertime and this summer is no different. We are currently investigating a number of reports of vehicle burglaries, many of which happen right in front of homes in driveways or under carports -even in gated communities! 99% of the time, the vehicles are unlocked! No doubt, unlocked cars and trucks are easy targets for thieves, pulling on door handles when the sun goes down. Avoid becoming a victim! Don't make it easy. Always lock your doors, remove all valuables, weapons, and yes, your keys, along with any paperwork with your personal information on it.

Remind your friends and family members because no one wants to become a victim. That would definitely ruin your day. Also, if you have video surveillance, please check to make sure the cameras are recording and lenses are clean. Remember, if you see suspicious behavior or a possible crime in progress, please call 911. Non emergency (239) 477- 1000.

Residing at 1556 Tredegar Drive you’ll find Barbara Greenhaw and her husband Jim, reshaping their choice of a west coast residence. Things have changed for this Iowa couple after their move from country home, acreage and horses with the resourceful efforts of their realtor daughter, Angela. Three years of joint efforts of the car salesman and insurance provider retirees have transformed the home’s aesthetics. The garden is adorned with succulents, caladium, pulmonaria, tiki, orchids and various other horticultural treasures. Barbara’s gardening is a therapeutic escape while Jim finds solace in his mini scooter adventures. Joyfully and without a misstep, Barbara’s upbeat nature, exhibits in her resounding comment of “you have to take what life gives you”. It can also be felt in her dose of humility mixed with honor once hearing of her neighbor’s vote. It’s not just the blooms and landscaping that capture one’s attention, but, the sense of community found in these neighborhood friendships. Watch for the little red scooter or witness Barbara’s joy in avid gardening and you’ve found more than enough reason for Greenhaw’s to call Whiskey Creek “home”!
