Poinsettia Heights resident Jack Hanna stands in his workshop, where he hand crafts objects from wood, including bird and bat houses. Bat houses, like bird houses, are simple wooden structures hung in trees to house bats. "If enough people did that in the neighborhood, they wouldn't have to worry about insecticides and spraying because the bats will take care of that for you," Hanna said.

FPL will be mailing a letter informing customers that an FPL authorized line clearing contractor will be working in your neighborhood (see map) in the coming months. This notification also states that “if trees or vegetation on your property require trimming away from power lines, a contractor representative will contact you, either in person or by leaving a notice on your door, 1 to 4 days prior to work beginning”.

The members of the Poinsettia Heights Civic Association voted for the following monument last night. The monument will be placed at 15th Avenue at the 18th Street circle and if budget permits, at 13th Street as well. It will likely take a year or more before the monument is complete. The second place option lost by just a couple of votes.
