 How cute is this, a faun followed this beagle right through the doggie door out East! Time to button up all entrances to your homes--garage doors, sliding doors, windows open since Spring. Let's be careful out there, and let's watch out for each other. Why not schedule your Home Safety Review with the Kildeer Police. Contact Officer Justin Rundall, Crime Prevention Officer. The review is a real eye opener.

TOP OF MIND: Roads and Drianage, repairs and maintenance of which have been long un-funded, under-funded, delayed--call it waht you will. Topic 2, closely realted, is the question of the recovery of the Vehe Barn cost overruns? It's a new administration since April 2009, and the residents are looking forward to some kind of resolution that recovers at least some of the close to $1 million (see below) that this village is reported to be seeking. What are YOU talking about? Email us and com to the next village meeting.

 A picture's worth a hundred thousand dollars! There is a Roads Program, directed by Trustee Dale Sanes, and repairs are underway. Remember, for years the roads program was unfunded or underfunded. Then the voice of the people was heard.
 Look, men at work (without a new sales tax!). Some of the workers were wearing lime green safety vest--might make you think that they, too, are Deer Park Neighbors! Here are photos (click to enlarge) by Al Barry of work on Rue Chamonix.
• Letter to Editor on Free Speech. "At every monthly Village Board meeting, Deer Park President Scott Gifford reads a statement at the start of the public comments portion of the meeting. The statement is a warning to village residents about what Mr. Gifford will allow them to say while addressing the board. Not one other village president in any of the nine neighboring communities reads such a warning to residents. Why does Mr. Gifford do it?" Full story
