Crime Alert

Crime Alert: We got word that a vacant house on Dundee was stripped of metal including the carport and even the siding! Thieves have been stealing copper and such from AC units and now apparently they're after all kinds of scrap metal to sell. Let's keep an eye open for suspicious activity, especially around the vacant houses in our community. You can report a crime online here or call 630-0500. And always call 911 if you or anyone else is in immediate danger. 

LAPS Rally Day!

Don't forget to come down to the park/pavillion area by Bayview School for the LAPS Rally Day tomorrow (Sunday, October 3). Have a hot dog, chat with your neighbors and find out what's happening in your community in the coming months. Invite a neighbor to come with you so we can spread the word about our group and the things that we do to improve the community for all of us. See you there at 1:00!

We will also be doing our highway cleanup down at the half bridge on the river at this time. It's looking pretty good still from the last cleanup day so it shouldn't take much time or effort to knock that out. Let Carla or Paul know that you're willing to help when you're at the park. 

Great News!

 

This came in our e-mail today:

 

 

The Broken Window Theory At Work:

 

If you think your beautification efforts at the park have gone unnoticed, they have not.  The best result is that it has inspired others in the community to expand on what we started.  I was contacted by Officer Juanita Edwards who used to be the Resource Officer at Lake Shore Middle School and is now attached to the security division of Parks and Recreation.  She also mentors/sponsors a Girls Club at Lake Shore which is now an IB school and they are very excited about doing a service project.  We met with Officer Edwards at the park today and she wanted our input as to what further improvements we wanted done at the park.  We are going to work in conjunction with her and the Girls Club to do atleast these following improvements:  She will get possibly 20 Crepe Myrtle trees to be planted, more mulch for the playground and around the trees, paint to cover the graffitti on the pavilions, and she will see about getting the school to work with us on dragging the ball fields.  Officer Edwards also wants to build a lasting relationship with our group for future projects.  Aaron is going to have some drawings and we would like your input at the next meeting as to where you want the trees planted. We are hoping to do this work in early November.  Good job LAPS members.

Way to Neighborhood Watch!

I think this criminal's number is up thanks to the neighbor who took his picture on his cell phone. Way to look out for your neighbors, good job!
