HI ALL 

My sister Betsy Royal was visiting from westport ct and had her dog Gus at my home sunday.  She had forgotten in travelling to attach his name tag.  During the combined fathers day celebration and my mothers 90th birthday party, Gus apparently escaped under the backyard wire fence. We had been searching in the neighborhood all afternoon and called the LGTPD and were relieved to locate Gus there. Thanks to Rhona Gus was safe and sound. 

Thanks again Rhona!!!

 please forward ASAP...
My husband and I were driving on Tanglewood today at 4 p.m. and saw a small light brown shihtzu or shi-poo run across the road and almost get hit by a car. It looked like it was wandering aimlessly, so we went over to it...NO ID TAGS on the dog...only an orange and white bandana and black invisible fence collar. After racking our brains on what to do (and giving it some water), we called the LG police and they came to pick up the dog. If this is your lost dog or you know the owner, please contact the LG police ASAP as they will ultimately turn the dog over to the ASPCA.

Please see the note below written by a neighbor in Gwynedd View next to us. Call the police if you see this truck - it may be the one that robbed the house a few weeks ago. Thank you!

Please forward this to Carol Pfister so it can go out to your neighborhood. This guy is brazen and likely to keep breaking in to houses.

Subject: Re: possible burglar sighting

 

hi, all. while walking the dogs on monday, june 14, i saw a suspicious white pickup driving slowly along rose lane and up stonington circle. the police came right away and i gave them a pretty good description. be on the alert for an older model (early '90s or so) small isuzu pickup with an aluminum ladder at an angle in the back (base of the ladder in the bed of the truck, head of it on top of the cab). the driver was a middle-aged white man with receding gray hair and a fringe of gray beard framing his face, which is kind of heart-shaped. he seemed to be looking at houses and was clearly not on his way to a job site. i did not see him again on the rest of my walk around tanglewood and back to stonington, so he definitely was not working at any of the many houses in gwynedd knoll that have contractors at them. sooner or later we'll catch him. chris kupferer welsh road

Dear neighbors,
I have several things to write about again. Please read all the notes below...

I've also received a request to have some moms who are worried about the bus stops and cut through traffic to volunteer to meet with a couple of township supervisors in the early morning to show them the problem. Any takers? Please email me if you are interested.

Thanks!

Party time alert! Let's be gracious neighbors and remember that this is the season of graduation parties. We can all put up with some late noise and cars once a year or so, I hope, to allow families to celebrate. If you are having a party, try contacting your neighbors to let them know ahead of time. Congrats to all our grads!

And lastly, an update from Gwen Douse on her requests to the township and Kate Harper:

Dear neighbors,

As a follow-up to my e-mail expressing our neighborhood's concerns regarding the impact of 202 expansion,  Kate Harper, our State Representative, immediately responded by sending a letter to Allen Biehler, Secretary of Transportation, relaying those concerns. She clearly explained the issue that will have a permanent effect on us, which is the hourglass effect that will occur when a five lane highway becomes a two lane highway before widening once again to five lanes near a Lower Gwynedd neighborhood known as Gwynedd Knoll. I want to take this opportunity to thank Kate for her responsiveness and look forward to her on-going support in addressing this issue with the goal of keeping that section as a five lane highway through-out our area, so it won't have a negative impact on us. I also received a response to the request for the implementation of e-mails for Board of Supervisors. According to our Manager, Larry Comunale, the Township is in the process of updating its computer system, including e-mails.  The system should be in by the end of the month.  A joint Supervisor's mailbox will be provided for residents to send their e-mails.  We will be notified when it is completed.

Best wishes,

Gwen Douse

neighborhood news

Dear neighbors,
I have several items for you - first an important reminder that there is a meeting Tuesday, May 25, at 7:30 pm at the Township building about the Rt 202 project and its effect on our neighborhood. Please plan to attend and get updated on the plans. Drive out the Hancock Rd entrance if you haven't lately - a lot of trees have been removed all along the side of the road and utilities are being moved around the north entryway into Hancock. The township would like our input - please come to the meeting! Several people have expressed concern about the potential number of strangers cutting through our neighborhood due to the construction, especially with the news of 2 robberies. I have requested that the police attend the meeting to address those concerns - hopefully someone will come.

Secondly , I hope you will remember to mail in your contribution to the entryway maintenance fund for this year. The suggested amount of $75 covers planting and maintenance for the whole year - 3 plantings. The entryway at Hancock will be put on hold now until the construction is done but money will be needed for new signs and plantings when it is complete.( Hopefully Penndot or the township will pay for some new walls! ) Any contributions are of course accepted.
 The address is :
Gwynedd Knoll Garden Club

P.O. Box 242
Gwynedd Valley, PA  19437-0242


Lastly, please see the notes below for an offer from a college student to do gardening work at your home (she is a Wissahickon grad - very nice!) and an announcement about the Civil War reenactment taking place at Pennypacker Mills, where Linda Callegari works. Any families with 8th graders should go - that is the topic of Social Studies right now!

neighborhood news 202

Dear neighbors,
The construction on 202 has begun...the short section of Swedesford Rd has now been closed. Linda Callegari has been gathering information and looking out for our protection in the plans...thank you! Please see below for a note/summary from her. Please put the meeting on your calendar now!

Dear Neighbors,

 

Our small group has been focusing on the impending construction of our section of the Rt. 202 parkway, known as 65N. This is the part of section 200 which runs just south of Hancock Road to where it connects with section 700 up at Rt. 63. Construction is scheduled to begin this fall and in preparation they must move the existing utilities to ensure that no loss of service is had. 

 You will note that they have begun removing landscaping to our side of 202 which is in the right of way. We will also eventually be getting sound barriers as construction commenses on to the next phases.

 Our group met with the Supervisors about 2 years ago to discuss our concerns with traffic cutting through our neighborhood during the construction of the parkway. The Township agreed that they would put up a temporary "porkchop," if you will...essentially barricades on our side of Hancock so that drivers may not turn left into our neighborhood from 202 south and the traffic on the other side of Hancock could not drive straight across to our side. Further, we will only be able to turn right into our  neighborhood going north bound. Penndot has not established a timetable to complete the widening down to Sumneytown Pike so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that when the traffic is stopped, many cars will look for shortcuts to get around the stand-still traffic. We feel our neighborhood will be non-stop traffic, especially at morning and evening rush hour. Without knowledge about the completion to Sumneytown Pike, we do not know how long this bad situation will continue.

 We have requested a meeting with the Township Supervisors, Penndot and their project manager so that they can present us with an update on their schedule, plans and to answer all of our questions. This will occur during a regularly scheduled Supervisors meeting. The date is May 25th at the Twp. Bldg at 7:30 pm.

 I encourage you all to attend and ask lots of questions. It's your opportunity to get answers and clarification on this huge issue that affects our neighborhood. Whether you live on a main street or a side street, you will be affected.

 Also, please sign up on the Penndot website for updates and e-newsletters on section 200 and 65N. It's a great way to see how the entire parkway is being constructed and where we are in all of this.

Hope to see you all there...

 Regards,

 Linda Callegari

Linda,

Please forward to your neighborhood.

Neighbors,

My house was robbed at 11:30 today while I was out. A neighbor saw a white Ford pick up truck in my driveway. She saw a  white middle aged man at my front door, but thought he was here to do service on my home.

The Ford pick up truck (with ladders on top) was seen pulling out of my driveway and going down Rose Lane toward Gwynedd Knoll about a half hour later. The man appeared to be alone.

If you know anything, please contact Lower Gwynedd Police immediately.

 

 

They forced open our locked  door and ransacked the master bedroom, taking my  jewelry box with them. Not sure what else they may have gotten.

Lisa Sherman

Rene Feitelson saw me running down the street with my phone in hand and stopped to help. Thanks for sending this out Rene

 

 

Neighbors,

 

The Sherman's house was broken into today while Lisa was out for about an hour.  Nobody was hurt, and their dog is fine.  The police are there now.  I came across Lisa running away from her house as I returned from an errand a few minutes ago.  We called 911.  Although it seemed like a long time, it only took the Lower Gwynedd Police about 5 or 10 minutes to get there.  It looks like the robbers broke the front door to gain entry. 

 

Please keep your eyes open for strangers in our neighborhood, and call 911 if you see anything unusual.  Remember to lock your doors and windows when you leave. 

 

Regards,

 

Rene Feitelson
