ROCKRIMMON BREAK-IN:
On Friday,
January 3, a crime was reported in progress at the 100 block of
Buckeye Drive in the Rockrimmon area. A
female victim had come home to find an intruder who held her at
gunpoint. Eventually, the intruder moved to the upper level of the
home and the victim escaped safely. The intruder was not caught but
was described to be a white, male about 5'7," with a thin build
and had what appeared to be flannel sleep wear wrapped around his
face like a mask.
Colorado
Springs Police Dept. has been investigating several
residential burglaries occurring throughout our area. The criminals
ring the doorbell of homes and/or knock on the front door. When there
is no answer, they go around to the back of the home and break in
through a window or door. You can find more information on our
local Police Blotter. As
always, please report anything suspicious to the CSPD @
(719)444-7000. You can also remain anonymous by contacting Pikes Peak
Area Crime Stoppers at 719-634-STOP (7867). PHOA continues to
contract for police surveillance in the Pinecliff
area as a deterrent to crime.
WHISTLING PINES GUN CLUB & CITY PLANNING
COMMISSION MEETING:
A public
hearing for the proposed Whistling Pines Gun Club will be held at
City Hall (107 N. Nevada Ave) on Thursday, January 16th, 2014 at

regard to the gun club development. Anyone can attend.
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE - Thurs. January 23rd 2014:
The PHOA
board would like to invite you to the annual "Membership
Drive" to be held at Arceo's again
this year. They are located conveniently at 4608 Rusina Rd.
The
date/time will be Thursday,
January 23rd, 2014 from 5:30-7:30pm. Last
year was such a huge success, Arceo's has
agreed to close their restaurant in order to better accommodate our
group this year. In addition, Arceo's is
even going to offer a special deal ($3) for a new drink, the "Pinecliff Margarita!"
Dinner will be FREE to PHOA members and $10 per
person for non-members. Attendees will be able to sign up or renew
their HOA membership and/or pre-pay for the Pinecliff
"Unified Trash Service" (UTS) program as well. Hope to see
you there!
GREAT NEWS!
Leonie has negotiated our UTS rates for this year and Bestway has agreed to keep them at the same great
rates as last year! Curbside Trash Service (1 container + 2 bags/week) will remain $132 per year; Curbside
Trash PLUS Recycle Service will remain $192 per year. The new sign-up
forms will be available at the Membership Drive.
ELECTRONICS RECYCLING EVENT:
The Cheyenne
Mountain Zoo is hosting an Electronics Recycling Event this Saturday, January 11,
2014 from 10am-2pm. Because it is illegal and extremely harmful to our
environment to toss electronics in the trash, the Zoo is raising
awareness by hosting this convenient event.
Cheyenne
Mountain Zoo posted: "Columbite-tantalite (coltan) is a crucial metal needed for cell phone
manufacturing, but the extraction of this metal is devastating to
gorilla habitat. Recycling old cell phones reduces the need to mine
more coltan" therefore,
helping to protect gorilla habitat.
In this
recycling event, they "guarantee data security." If you
need to get rid of some electronics in the new year, here is a
responsible solution to check out!
Cell Phones:
FREE
Computer
towers/laptops: FREE
Televisions (measured
diagonally): $1 per inch
Monitors:
