Thank you to Gilbert PD and Craig Avery, Crime Prevention Officer who attended the Ice Cream and Crime Prevention event last Wednesday evening.
Here are a few helpful tips from Officer Avery.
If you see someone committing a non-emergency crime in the neighborhood:
Keep your distance and do not engage.
Gather information
Call it in later at a safe distance to avoid retaliation.
Be a good witness: Remember the 5 W's:
◦Where is the emergency?
◦What is going on – Fight, Medical Emergency, Fire
◦When Did This Happen?
◦Who is involved – Descriptions of persons and vehicles
◦Weapons – Were there weapons used?
There are many ways to report a crime:
Non-Emergency Line 480-503-6500
To submit an anonymous tip through text messaging, type GPDTIPS and your message, then send it to 274637 (CRIMES on most cell phones)
Track and report on the Gilbert 311 app, Gilbert 311 not only allows you to report problems but also to view, comment on and vote to fix problems submitted by your neighbors. You can even create your own “watch areas” to receive notifications about all of the issues reported in your neighborhood, enabling you to follow the progress of all service requests — not just the ones you report.
What to do if you spot graffiti:
Call it into the non-emergency line, if you see an orange dot, the graffiti has been reported, photographed, and the Association or Town has bee notified to remove it.
Curfew
It is unlawful for any minor to be in, about, or upon any place in the town away from the property where the youth resides unless accompanied by the minor's parent or guardian the following hours:

For more information on living with coyotes here is a brochure from AZ Game and Fish.

Why are coyotes being spotted more frequently in Power Ranch?
Coyotes are common in rural and urban areas throughout Arizona. Coyotes tend to travel and hunt alone or in pairs, but they can form groups where food is abundant. Coyotes are curious, clever, and adaptable. They quickly learn to take advantage of any newly discovered food source and are often attracted to yards with abundant fruit and wildlife to eat.
How can we help deter them from sticking around?
Do not feed cats or dogs outdoors; even birdseed will attract small animals such as birds, and rodents, which are a food source to the coyotes.
Outdoor lighting acts as a deterrent.
Keeping bushes trimmed so coyotes can't burrow underneath to hide.
Secure trash cans.
What should I do if I see them?
If you encounter a coyote, Arizona Game and Fish recommends:
Never approach it.
Always walk your pets on a leash.
Never run away from a coyote. Stand your ground, be loud and make yourself bigger and coyotes will likely run away.
If out jogging, fill up an empty soda can with coins or pebbles. Rattle this to scare them off. Air horns also work well.

Four Peaks completed the annual dethatching to the following common area parks:
o Mountain View
o Groves
o Oaks
o Orchards
o Arbors
o The Barn
o Knolls
o Meadowview
o Willows
The dethatching will continue through this coming week to areas of the Ranchhouse Facilities, athletic fields, areas of the Arroyo and the few remaining parks.
"
Dethatching
" refers to the mechanical removal from a lawn of the layer of dead turfgrass tissue known as "thatch." This residue is bad for grass, as it keeps water and nutrients from seeping down to grass roots.
In the Villages, enhancement crew performed the turf and curbing removal as planned. Irrigation is ready for the installation of the new plants and granite as the schedule permits.
Post-emergent weed control was completed in areas in the Grange, Knolls, Timbers and is starting on Ranch House Parkway south of Germann.

Ranch House pool facility is both a lap swimming and recreational pool. Both are often enjoyed concurrently. When you are at the pool, and someone is using the lap lane, please be courteous to your neighbor and stay out of the lane while they are exercising. Please teach children about sharing the pool, and inform them about lane lines when residents are swimming laps.

House Paint Schemes Online
|
|
Time to paint your home? If your home has not been painted in 7-10 years, it's time.
Find the perfect paint color at www.mypowerranch.com. It is easy to select a pre-approved paint scheme and download an application without leaving your house.
Power Ranch residents receive a discount on Dunn Edwards paint (up to 37% off retail price), with account #188531-000 in store.
Beginning on July 15, 2017, Power Ranch will no longer be reviewing custom paint schemes. The Community Association has 110 schemes to choose from and will be adding some of the more requested custom schemes to the choices. The list of preapproved paint schemes will be reviewed and updated annually to assure that the community stays up-to-date and home values are maintained.
If you want to paint your home a custom scheme, it must be submitted by July 15, 2017.
Remember colors viewed on a computer screen or when printed may not be an exact representation of the actual pigment color. When matching is critical, please refer to original Dunn Edwards color chips as a reference.
