The Neighborhood Watch program is up and running in the Talavera Community area. If you are interested in starting a group in your neighborhood please contact Gary Kology at campcop@hotmail.com for information and materials. You should be seeing some Neighborhood Watch signs going up shortly on Soledad Canyon Rd thanks to the generosity of one of our Neighborhood Watch block captains. The fire department is offering a CPR training class this Saturday morning, January 16 at the fire house. Completion of this program provides certification of a CPR provider. Please contact Douglas Hoffman (521-1332) for details. THERE WILL BE A BLOCK WATCH CAPTAIN’S MEETING AT THE FIREHOUSE JANUARY 20, 2010 AT 7:00PM The Las Cruces MPO would like to inform all Talavera residents of a training opportunity on January 29 and 30, 2010. Traffic Skills 101 is a comprehensive bicycling road skills course taught by League Cycling Instructors from the Mesilla Valley Bicycling Coalition and the Bicycle coalition of New Mexico. Pre-registration is required. There is no on-site registration. Please see the attached flyer for details and contact information.  Traffic Skills 101 flyer As you are aware, the work at the construction site of the new High School on Dripping Springs Road is in high gear. We can expect to see increased construction traffic and we are anticipating huge increases in numbers of vehicles when the school opens. Your Talavera Community Association Board of Directors is monitoring the progress of plans to deal with this increased traffic and the resulting safety issues . In order to share this information and to encourage our residents to be involved in the process of finding solutions, we will be adding periodic “Traffic Updates” to our web site. We hope that the updates will be brief and informative. Here is a link to the first update: Here are some important meeting dates to remember:Las Cruces Planning and Zoning Meeting: Tuesday, December 15, 6:00PM City Council Chambers: Will be voting on annexation of new high school.

The new TCA sign has been installed at the corner of Dripping Springs Rd., and Soledad Canyon Rd. The new sign was designed and manufactured by Talavera resident Mark Isler, who donated all labor and installation costs. The sign is designed to have a weathered appearance and to require minimal maintenance. There is also a removable white letterboard that can be used for impotant TCA announcements.
We scheduled an informational/organizational meeting on Neighborhood Watch at the Talavera Firehouse on Wednesday, November 18 from 7-8 pm. It will take no longer than one hour at most. Please come and invite anyone who is interested to come as well. The deputies who help communities organize Neighborhood Watch will provide a brief overview of the program. They have been apprised of the fact that we as a group pick up on things pretty quickly and so they will not be giving a long presentation. One of the most important things to do at this meeting is identify individuals who might be ready to serve as Neighborhood Watch Coordinators and Block Captains. I’ve attached some scanned materials about these roles for your information. We can tailor this program and these roles to fit our particular needs in the community.
