We requested a shielded bulb when the light <br>near our house went out. The new bulb sends more light down to the <br>street, and less light into upstairs bedrooms and the sky. If you're <br>interested in seeing the difference, compare this light, in front of <br>96 Overhill, with the usual unshielded light in front of 86 Overhill.<br> I figured the new bulbs make so much sense all around that National <br>Grid would stop putting the old ones in altogether, but apparently <br>not. Shielded bulbs do seem to be standard for highway lights (see <br>the new section of 95 downtown), because they reduce glare for <br>drivers. -John Landry, 90 Overhill<br><br>Begin forwarded message:<br><br>From: carolyn birnbaum <<a href="mailto:crbirnbaum@gmail.com">crbirnbaum@gmail.com</a>><br>Date: October 20, 2010 11:34:44 AM EDT<br>To: Summit Neighborhood e-mail <<a href="mailto:summit@sna.providence.ri.us">summit@sna.providence.ri.us</a>><br>Subject: [Summit] FW: Summary of meeting with Providence police re: <br>break-ins<br><br>The update below was sent to me. I find it a bit odd, because on <br>Friday, Oct. 16th, I was at a friend's house on Summit and 10th when a <br>neighbor came by to say their home had been broken into and computers <br>stolen. Either they didn't report it, or the Summit neighborhood <br>doesn't count?<br><br>Dear East Side Neighbors,<br> Here is a summary of the salient points discussed at tonight's <br>meeting with Lieutenant John Ryan, Lieutenant Paul Campbell and <br>Sergeant Billy Dwyer of the Providence Police:<br>Update on the recent activity:<br>--There have been no reported break-ins in the neighborhood since <br>October 7th.<br>--They have a few leads (i.e. fingerprints, DNA samples from a <br>cigarette butt) but to date nothing concrete enough to identify a <br>suspect.<br>--A suspicious vehicle similar to the one driven by the intruder was <br>spotted. It is not known if this car is the one we are looking for, <br>but it had a RI license plate starting with "V" and ending in "85".<br>--They still actively working on this case, and have a patrolman <br>assigned to the neighborhood on a daily basis.<br>Safety advice:<br>--Install and use your alarm. The police considered this to be of <br>utmost importance.<br>--Trim your hedges so they are beneath window level.<br>--Have ample outdoor lighting, and install it out of reach. (Some <br>intruders unscrew the bulbs from outdoor lights within their reach.)<br>--Make sure no TVs, computers and CD players are visible through your <br>windows. The glow of a TV through the curtains at night announces <br>its presence. In some instances, intruders have come back the next <br>day (when no one is home) to steal the TV.<br>--If you leave lights on when you're out, mix them up so it's not <br>always the same pattern.<br>--Do not leave purses anywhere visible through a window.<br>--Surveillance cameras are helpful, but primarily if they produce a <br>good quality picture.<br>--A dog can be a deterrent to intruders....but some intruders <br>"befriend" dogs by feeding them, thereby quieting them.<br>--Keep active communication with your neighbors and share information <br>about any suspicious activities.<br>--Call the police with information about any unusual activity. Their <br>non-emergency line is 401-272-3121.<br>What we are doing:<br>--We have expanded our neighbor communications network in two ways:<br> --Increased our "blind copy" email blast list; and<br> --Started a neighborhood list containing names, street addresses <br>and emails for distribution to other neighbors. (Only those who <br>gave consent to distribute their contact information as specified are <br>on this list.) This list will be emailed to you within the next <br>couple of days.<br>--The police will put up "Neighborhood Watch" signs in the area;<br>--The police will be calling National Grid to repair the inoperative <br>street light at President and Cole, as well as the erratically <br>operative one at President and Slater. If anyone wants to help <br>pressure National Grid into action on this, please call them at <br>800-465-1212.<br> I will pass along any significant information as it comes along.<br> If you do not wish to receive these emails, please let me know.<br><br>Cheryl Simmons<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>------ End of Forwarded Message<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Summit mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Summit@sna.providence.ri.us">Summit@sna.providence.ri.us</a><br>http://mail.sna.providence.ri.us/mailman/listinfo/summit_sna.providence.ri.us<br>SNA Website: http://sna.providence.ri.us/<br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <http://mail.sna.providence.ri.us/pipermail/summit_sna.providence.ri.us/attachments/20101020/7e34a877/attachment-0001.html><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Summit mailing list<br>Summit@sna.providence.ri.us<br>http://mail.sna.providence.ri.us/mailman/listinfo/summit_sna.providence.ri.us<br><br><br>End of Summit Digest, Vol 67, Issue 19<br>**************************************<br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Summit mailing list<br>Summit@sna.providence.ri.us<br>http://mail.sna.providence.ri.us/mailman/listinfo/summit_sna.providence.ri.us<br>SNA Website: http://sna.providence.ri.us/<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></body></html>
