Crime Reports as of August 28, 2018

Criminals don't like sub-zero temperatures and inclement weather any more than law abiding citizens do.  The hot weather has brought a few out of the wainscoting - like cockroaches.  We have what amounts to a crime free neighborhood here at McNaughten Village, but there have been a few recent incidents that are noteworthy.

Construction Notice 8-13-18

Misty Way will be under construction for the next few days.

McNaughten Village Picnic

The picnic last Sunday (8/12/18) was a success in spite of a very little rain.  Everyone got plenty to eat and had a good time socializing.

Our thanks to Joanne Kitchen for the pictures.

Assault at E. Livingstone & McNaughten

Assault

The victim was a white male, 20 years old.  None of the attackers were caught.  This happened at 9:00 PM, while it's still light outside.  Please be aware of your surroundings when you go out walking.

Yard Maintenance

The tree company was here today to excise a tree that's been on its last legs (roots?) for a while now.  I'm guessing the tree lost a few roots the last time the drainage system had a rotor-rooter used on it.

Tree Removal

The Wright Tree Company

The Remains of the Day

I think this is a Minerva Hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus ‘Minerva’), commonly called the bush behind the shed.  It adds a lot of color and pleasant ambiance to the neighborhood, even when it's not in full bloom.

Hibiscus

I have no idea what the HOA is planning to plant to replace the tree they just removed, but I'd like to see a Hibiscus growing there.
