Working Together for a GREAT Neighborhood

A PGE Neighbor’s Warning About Coyotes By Jeff June On May 13 at 9:00 pm we lost our 13 lb Yorkie to a coyote within five feet of our front door.A week later, a neighbor found her remains a few blocks away. The week of June 13th, a neighbor on North Circle Drive was out at 5 AM with her dog, and a coyote was within 10 feet of her. She scooped her dog up safely and was able to get in the house. That same week during the day, while a toddler was playing in his Inverness yard, two coyotes ran into the yard, attacking one dog and killing the other. Palatine Township is hosting a “Coping with Coyotes” seminar, presented by the Crab Tree Nature Center, at the Township Building (721 S. Quentin Rd.) on Friday, July 22, at 7:30 p.m.

Summer 2011

President’s Message As we move into summer, even with our interesting weather patterns, I am reminded that we live in one of the most beautiful areas in the suburbs. With very few exceptions the landscaping is breathtaking and the comments of visitors to Plum Grove Estates reinforce the great area we live in. Your Board is committed to contacting the residents who do not keep their property well kept and when warranted involving the appropriate Township and County agencies. Thanks to Benie Rupe’s persistence with Com Ed, power lines and a couple of transformers have been replaced and we have not had a power outage since. Another successful fishing derby— great job Dawn Amos and Cathy Reichl. Close to 100 residents enjoyed the summer kickoff party, which was moved inside due to the weather. Thanks to Lynn Meizner and Maria Pappas for organizing the event. Thanks also to Nikko Pappas for the music and to Dawn and Larry Amos for helping with set up. After hearing complaints from residents I contacted the Sheriff’s Department about the speeders on Briarwood. Commander Brzezniak arranged for added patrols on Briarwood, which has had the effect of slowing down speeders. We are all looking forward to the completion

of the bridge work on Frontage Road West. Hope you have a great summer and, as always, please contact anyone on the Board with any issues or concerns you may have. Gary Dindia PGE POA President president@pgepoa.org
