Want to Have a Kid Stuff Garage Sale?
Lakeland Moms! Want to get rid of all that too small and too much kid stuff? Before you get washed away in a wave of Exersaucers, Little Tykes, and Baby Gap, let’s get rid of some of it in a fun community way. Let’s have a Kid Stuff Garage Sale! How about getting together at my Fairway Meadows garage on September 10th and 11th? I’ll take care of advertising, signs (legal, of course) and renting racks for the clothes. Participants will take home all of the income minus a $10 overhead donation. You don’t even have to work the sale, but the more who can be here a few hours, the more fun we’ll have. Space is limited, so get in touch soon if you are interested. Stephanie Anderson. Steffer901@bellsouth.net or by phone at 388-7042.
Paige Martin Photographs Shown at City Hall
You
are invited to visit the
City Hall Gallery during
business hours to view the
wide-ranging photo display
of Lakeland artist, Paige
Martin. Ms Martin’s
photos effectively capture
the quiet moods and places
and people from numerous
international sites.
Whether the close-up view
is of a weathered face or
facade, the character of
the subject is conveyed by
Ms. Martin’s careful
lens.
Do make the effort to see
this display and the
ongoing series of Lakeland
art works shown at City

We note that the East
Shelby Review referred to
this exhibit as
"travel photos."
Indeed, they are from
various parts of the
world, but these are much
more than snapshots .

Letter from Wildlife Enthusiast Draws Support
Last week’s
QNet carried a letter from
Lori McMillon asking motorists
to be alert to the deer
crossing zone on Canada Road
where a faun had been killed.
We received several supporting
“seconds” from readers.
Chris Masin, Public Works
Director installed two deer
crossing signs the next
Morning and Signs First
proprietor, Ginger Smith,
offered to donate a sign.
C.A. Cupp’s response should
give us hope. In part, he
said:
I am always rushing to get
to someplace that I think is
important, but which is
probably not. I was
reminded a few weeks ago that
Nature has its own pace.
I was leaving the house and
some geese were merrily
walking down the street.
They did not care if a big red
truck was behind them or that
the guy in the truck thought
he needed to be somewhere.
As I sat there I started
enjoying the waddle of the
geese and the carefree
attitude they were expressing.
It made me laugh at them and
myself. I felt a calm
come over me. It
reminded me how fortunate I am
to live in an area like
Lakeland. We must never
allow ourselves to put the
wildlife so far down our list
of important things, that we
forget how really, really
important they truly are.
This citizen alert, then
quick city response to this
situation, is a good example
of how each of us can help
Lakeland be a better place.
When you see a problem or have
a question, contact city hall,
or ask QNet to help direct
your concern. The city needs
your eyes to alert them to
problems of all
sorts—illegal dumping,
erosion problems, damaged
pavement, illegal activities,
etc. The folks at city hall
want Lakeland to be as great a
town as we do. Give them a
heads up when you can.

Editor's
Note:
The following was received
on Friday from a long-term
Lakelander and QNetter, Lori
McMillon. As Lakeland
responds to the pressure of
development Lori's comments
are worth adding to our
municipal self awareness.
Lakeland's Comprehensive
Plan urges us to develop
within a rural character,
but on major roads rural
character may not be fully
rural. Lori's message
reminded me that our
Comprehensive Plan does not
mention providing for the
wild life that shares our
space now and will have less
and less of it in the
future. Canada Road will
soon be 4 lanes with a
planted median, then 6 lanes
when warranted. The 100
acres south of the Outlet
Mall is now in preliminary
planning to be developed as
the new Lakeland Town
Center. Commercial
development south of the
"Cotton Cabin" is
likely to follow. Existing,
planned, or concept
submittals for development
on Seed Tick Rd. now
encompass about 90% of the
road. Lori, your words are a
perfect gentle reminder.
To the QNet Editor:
Tonight I was on Canada Road
on my way to pick up my
daughter after she got off
of work. Off to the
side I noticed a small
figure lying in the grass.
So small it didn't look
real, it appeared like a
plastic reindeer from a
discarded holiday
decoration. I turned
around in the Cotton Cabin
parking lot and headed
south, turned around again
at the next turn, and went
back to take a second look
by turning on my caution
lights, pulling over,
and getting out to see if
there was anything that
could be done. There
in the grass laid the tiny
figure of a newborn fawn.
It couldn't have been more
than a few days old and had
apparently been hit by a car
while trying to cross the
road with the rest of the
herd.
This area of road has been used by deer as an early morning and evening crossing for a long time, at least from 1986 when my family moved here and my guess would be it has been used for much longer. There used to be a deer crossing sign there back before Canada Road was a through street to Houston Levee. People that lived here respected that portion of road and traveled much slower and occasionally I would see a car pulled over to enjoy the wildlife that practically lived in our back yards. I've seen deer more times than I can count. I saw my very first beaver in that area too and was amazed at what a large animal they really are. It's sad enough to see Lakeland's wildlife have less and less space these days but to see a tiny fawn killed in this area was a sad reminder to me of how much this area has grown and how seldom people care for the environment and it's inhabitant's that we intrude upon.
