Last Thursday evening at about 7:45 pm, a resident on Greenfield St. was returning home from walking her dog.  Just before walking up the stairs to her house, her dog was attacked by a pit bull/lab mix who was running loose.  The dog came running through her yard directly at her dog.  As a result her dog was seriously injured and required emergency surgery.  

The dog is dark brown is named Zip, and resides at 110 upper unit.  He is regularly chained to in the backyard of 110, and there has been a previous concern of the neighbors.

The purpose of notifying you of this situation is to make you aware for your safety and your dogs safety.  

If you have any issues with this dog, please try contact its owners at 110 upper.  If they are not responsive, email us and we can provide the name and phone number of the landlord (owner) of the property, whom has been already called regarding the dog.

BLOCK PARTY HELP

We are working on the details for the Greenfield - Crescent - Elam joint block party Saturday, September 14, from 2 – 7 p.m. on Russell between Crescent and Greenfield, but we may need your help!  We've been trying to get signatures needed from the City of Buffalo to use the portion of the street for the block party.  We were not able to get all the signatures from all the neighbors on that portion of Russell.  We still would like #157 and #159 to respond.  Does anyone out there know the residents of these 2 houses?  Can you help us to get them to respond?  We've dropped of the signature sheet.  If they choose to not sign, or we cannot get a respond from them, we may not be able to use the street, and thus not have the block party.  

Greetings Neighbors!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year Everyone!!!! 

Hope everyone had a great New Years and a Happy Holidays.  This note may be a little late but please don't forget to move your car the the correct side of the street on Jan 1.  Last year the city ticketed heavily on New Years Day.  

I would also like to stress the note put out in the email, please keep the sidewalks clear to try to prevent people from walking in the street.  

Wednesday, December 12th

From a PCA Member:

Wednesday night the motion sensor behind my garage gave an alert at 7PM. I have some heavy steel yard tending equipment stored there which would bring a few dollars at the scrap yard.  I went with my spotlight to see why the alarm sounded and saw a 40 - 50 year old white male trying to move one of my implements through a hole he'd opened up in my chain link fence.

When I yelled he dropped my property and returned to his car which was parked in the rear of a Main St. property behind mine. All I could make out was an older model white Chevrolet Cavalier. The license plate had been folded up from the bottom onto itself so it could not be read, but I could make it as an older blue and white license plate. He had an accomplice waiting outside the car.  I called 911 right away, half an hour later an officer showed up, looked around my yard and said there was nothing that could be done.

On Friday night while walking my dog on Starin Ave. at Woodbridge around 10pm, I came up on but the same vehicle pulled up behind another at the curb, the driver of the white Cavalier returning to his car. The plate was unfolded so it could be read.  The driver said "Hi" to me as he got in then made a U-turn heading toward Amherst St. I got a good look at his face.

I called "D" District right away and explained the situation and was told to call 911 if I should see the car again, there was nothing could be done now.  Be aware of this vehicle and grubbily dressed, small, dark haired and bearded man.
