President’s MessageAs we move into summer, even
with our interesting weather pat-
terns, I am reminded that we live in
one of the most beautiful areas in
the suburbs. With very few excep-
tions the landscaping is breathtak-
ing and the comments of visitors to
Plum Grove Estates reinforce the
great area we live in. Your Board is
committed to contacting the resi-
dents who do not keep their prop-
erty 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 resi-
dents I contacted the Sheriff’s De-
partment about the speeders on
Briarwood. Commander Brzezniak
arranged for added patrols on Briar-
wood, 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 any-
one on the Board with any issues or
concerns you may have.

A PGE Neighbor’sWarning About Coyotes
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 Na-
ture Center, at the Township
Building (721 S. Quentin Rd.) on
Friday, July 22, at 7:30 p.m.
Facts about Coyotes:• Average weight: 22 to 42
pounds
• Average height/length: 22-
26" in height /36-48" in
length
• Excellent swimmers
• Run up 43 miles per hour for
short distances

• Estimated more than 30,000 in
Illinois by the IDNR
• Breeding: late February
through early March
• Litter: 2-19 on record; 6-7 is the
average litter
• Food: being the largest preda-
tor in Illinois, coyotes hunt
mice, rabbits, deer fawns,
racoon, and domestic animals.
Some Steps to Avoid Conflicts With Coyotes• Do not feed the coyotes.
• Do not let pets run loose.
• Do not run from a coyote.
• Repellents or fencing may help.
• Report aggressive, fearless
coyotes immediately.
When a coyote fails to exhibit fear
of humans, or acts aggressively by
barking or growling in the yard or
playground, the animal must be re-
ported as soon as possible to the
appropriate officials—usually an
animal control or police officer.
Coyotes, continued
Bethel Church Window Damaged
Around June 19, a stained glass
window at Bethel Lutheran
Church on West Frontage Road
was broken by a golf ball.
“It looks as if someone was practic-
ing their swing and then left when
the window broke,” said Marv
Meyer of Forest Estates Home
Owners Association, who reported
the damage. Several golf balls were
found on the church lawn.
If you have any information about
this incident, please contact Marv
Meyer at 847-397-9146.
Plum Grove Estates To Create ElectronicArchive of Photos, Documents, and HistoryThe Plum Grove Estates Property Owners Association is asking neigh-
bors to provide photos, historical documents, and personal stories that
will be part of an electronic archive.
Many new residents might not be aware of the events that used to take
place, such as golf outings (see photo below), a Fourth of July neighbor-
hood parade, or the sleigh-drawn rides to the end-of-year holiday party.
If you have photos featuring neighborhood social events, or if you have
any legacy documents or stories, please contact Andrea Brennan at 847-
404-7229 or webadmin@pgepoa.org.

Palatine Twp Begins Blue Star Banner ProgramPalatine Township would like to show their sup-
port for PGE families of U.S. military service mem-
bers by presenting them with a special banner.
The township is looking for feedback about Banner
applicants who live in unincorporated areas. “We
will have Supervisor Fleming present the banners
to these individuals,” stated Town Clerk Lisa
Moran. “We would also like to invite the Property
Owner’s President/Director to attend as well.”
Please contact Gary Dindia if you know a PGE
family with a military service member.

Old BusinessSanitary District—Although there had been plans to
perform work on the sewer system this summer,
those plans have been put on hold due to budgetary
reasons.
Power Outages—On April 28, Com Ed was installing
new cable in backyards between N. Elmwood Lane
and Park Drive. About 35 percent of the block will
get new cables. (The existing cable is over 50 years
old.) Another crew will install two new transformers
and then hook up everything. Thanks to Bernie Rupe
for his persistence in pursuing Com Ed.

New BusinessCoyotes—A resident on Park Drive reported that his
dog was recently snatched by a coyote that was in his
front yard. He reported the incident to Cook County
Animal Control and Rolling Meadows and both were
very helpful. A discussion followed, resulting in the
following information/suggestions:
• All coyote incidents should be reported for track-
ing purposes.
• The telephone number for Animal Control should
be added to the PGE directory.
• Many residents have spotted coyotes in the neigh-
borhood, both in the morning and at night.
• Do not keep pet food outdoors.
• Information regarding coyotes will be in the next
newsletter.
• This topic will be discussed at the next general
meeting under Old Business.
Thanks to Pam Adelizzi for providing handouts with
information about coyotes.
La Margarita—Very loud music until 4:00 a.m. is an-
noying to residents who live close by. Residents can
call the police to have the restaurant charged with dis-
turbing the peace and issued a $500 citation.
Speeders—The number of speeding cars on Briarwood
is increasing. Offenders include both residents and
non-residents using Briarwood as an alternate route
because of the bridge closing on Frontage Road.
• Gary Dindia is contacting the Cook County Sher-
iff’s Dept. about the problem.
• Residents can report the license numbers of speed-
ers to the Sheriff’s Dept, which is often able to
ticket the offenders.
• A suggestion was made to request portable speed
bumps.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m. by Vice-Presi-
dent Dave Gearhart.

PGE Summer ConstructionThe bridge project on West Frontage Road is on
schedule despite unusual setbacks, meaning that the
road might be open to traffic by the end of July, a
construction supervisor said.
The wet Spring created schedule delays. A wing wall
under construction collapsed because the soil sup-
porting the concrete was too wet and unstable.
The bridge, walls, and approach are being con-
structed using steel-reinforced concrete—materials
that should help this bridge last for decades.
