KnowZone Update

More residents are buying FRS radios to tie into the Know Zone with. It's a trickle to be sure but as you become used to the idea you will see the big picture for the use of the system we think. The tipping point will be the day we have all the block Captains tied in... We continue to work for that day.

Here are somethings you should KNOW that happened recently....

• Friday Frank Mazzeo went to the hospital because of a suspected Heart Attack and was transported the next day to Corvallis..
  

• Saturday, around midnight, in the vicinity of 62nd st 6 shots were heard to be fired either from the south or west.. the resident reporting wasn't sure. The resident told neighborhood watch the next day. The block Captain advised the neighbor to call 911 immeadiately if that happened again. I would like you to know that I have regular dealings with Mark Miranda our Police Chief and he has told me over and over that an immeadiate 911 call gives them a chance to catch the crook and they want you to do it and will not treat you as if you are crying, "WOLF!".

• On another occasion it was reported that one of the new and vacant homes had an open door with no one around. A discussion at CERT Training unanimously agreed that it could be someone forgot to lock up or it could have been a robbery in progress. It was recommended that 911 be called and asked to investigate. You put yourself in jeopardy if it turned out to be an armed robber or crack head. We opt for the man with the badge and gun.
