Out & About: May 2015

OUT & ABOUT: MAY 2015

NOTICE: Since mid-March Laurel Mountain Borough has been challenged with atypical events. Rumors are flying and imaginations are activated.

What is known is that there have been 3 break-ins: one on Maple Rd. (Phil Rose), one on Laurel Rd., and one on Locust Rd.

• Burglary, someone forced entry through a window at a Locust Street residence and tried to light a fire inside. —Tribune Review, Blotter, 6/5/2015, pp B2

Might I personally encourage each of you to be proactive in keeping our Borough safe by:

• Keeping your ears and eyes open to anything unusual, especially around part-time housing…if you suspect someone contact the mayor or a council member
• Contacting any owner of a part-time residence that you know, to inform them about what is happening in the Borough. They probably don’t know, so cannot take action to protect their property.

May, all month: Many thanks to those who worked hard to clean up the Laurel Mountain Park pool and shelter house. Laurel Mountain Park is sponsoring a pool party June 6. Watch your email for further information.
