President's Message
Happy Halloween!
Some BIG, BIG NEWS
ANNOUNCEMENTS!
We had a full house again
last month at the General Meeting. Thanks to
everyone who came to hear
several speakers provide
valuable information and
updates pertinent to EEV.
We covered many topics including the ongoing
discussion of the Special
Assessment Districts, crime
reporting, the DIA events
and the Alger and Youth
programs. On Sept. 24, we
hosted “Pedal to Porch” and
EEV was featured in “THE
HUB” publication and on
“Curb” with stunning properties for sale.
We have some exciting
news to share. Mayor Mike
Duggan will be our guest
speaker for the October
meeting. Mayor Duggan
will be covering the latest update for the City of
Detroit and our village. We
will also review the rental
property program and hear
details of our upcoming
Angels Night patrol and
potluck. We are inviting all
residents to decorate for
the Annual EEV Halloween
Home Decorating Contest.
Judging will take place
on the evening of Oct. 28.
We hope to see all of you
participate in some way in
our annual Angels Night
program. Kathy Roddie, our
Residential Chair, will cover
more details at the General
Meeting. The annual EEVA
Holiday party will be held
on Sunday, Dec. 11, at St.
Clare Montefalco Church.
This is a great gathering
and celebration of EEV
neighbors. It is always a fun
evening with great food and
even greater community
spirit. Don’t forget to put
this date on your calendar.
It’s that time of season
again where, as happy
homeowners, we rush to
finish summer projects
before the leaves fall and
winter 2016 sets in. Please
pay special attention to
gutters and downspouts
as well as trees that need
to be trimmed. PLEASE
NOTE: repairing vehicles
in the street or parking cars
and trucks on lawns is not
allowed by city code and
frankly has many neighbors upset. Driveways or
garages should be utilized
to facilitate your car needs.
Trash cans must be pulled
back behind the line of the
home. We are again asking
city inspectors to handle
this issue. Residents should
not have to deal with a trash
can being left out under
their windows, thanks to
the next-door neighbor.
Our EEV Walking Club
will be starting back up
again on Saturdays through
the first week in December.
We have had a great response to the weekly walks,
and we encourage all to
participate when you can.
As always, check with your
doctor before starting any
exercise program. More information will be provided
at the General Meeting, Oct.
17 at 7 p.m.
Remind your neighbors
to help keep up the village
streets and drains open by
clearing leaves – it all makes
a difference! Review the
Rizzo yard waste pickup
schedule, posted in our
newsletter, on EEV's Facebook page and Nextdoor.

note, our 5th Precinct Police

Pet Corner
Keep pets safe
from Halloween
hazards
Again, summer just
flew by for me and now
the days are shorter with
winter fast approaching.
Thankfully, it is still a
ways off. Meanwhile, we
are blessed with a BEAUTIFUL autumn. The days
have been glorious and
the nights invigorating —
guess I really do like this
time of year! Now, let’s get
down to the “Nitty Gritty”
of the month of October –
HALLOWEEN!
Halloween equals
lots of fun for the wee
ghosties and goblins, but
perhaps a stressful time
for our furry friends.
Dedicated to protecting
their homes and families,
all of the noise and commotion may appear to
be threatening or overstimulating to some dogs.
Be aware of this and treat
them with the care their
individual need requires.
For example, bring them
indoors, confine them
away from the front door
to prevent them from innocently harming one of
the little trick or treaters.
And last but certainly
not least, some treats can
harm or even be LETHAL
to dogs and cats. Most
pet owners are aware of
the potential danger of
chocolate, but many do
not know that the additive
XYLITOL can cause an extremely painful and rapid
medical condition resulting in death. This product
is a sugar alcohol often
313-882-2579.
used in chewing gum and
some candies marketed
as “sugar free.” So, if you
share your spoils of the
night with Fido, be certain
these are safe and not
harmful to pets. Especially
check for Xylitol, please.
‘til next month ~ Karlene

Autumn colors and temperatures
– Ahhh!
Are you looking at the fruits of
your labors and seeing a nicely maintained home with trimmed shrubbery,
cleaned gutters, replaced light bulbs
and maybe even some fresh paint?
Or, like me, you’re obfuscating and
claiming you’re waiting for cooler
temperatures to get down to business?!
Please know that neat shrubbery
makes for less hiding places for bad
elements, working side/porch lights
thwart prying eyes, cleaned gutters/
drains eliminate house leaks, vigilant
eyes belong to educated folks who are
better equipped not only to protect
themselves, but their neighbors. Hey,
be self-serving and use the motto, “If
You See Something, Say Something.”
The Detroit Police Dept. (DPD) Fifth
Precinct Front Desk phone is 313-5965501. In case of emergency - dial 911.
How else can you help yourself?
Join us in our efforts to build our
ranks for the City-Wide CB Radio
Patrol in our community. This is the
DPD connected CB Radio Patrol. EEV
has nearly 2100 homes and not nearly
enough residents who now volunteer to (drive) patrol our community.
Please contact me for details and/or
to sign up.
The Annual Angels Night Patrol
and Potluck will be Saturday-Sunday,
October 29-30, from 6 p.m.-midnight
(both nights). We will again be working from 4240 Kensington (thank you,
Bill). For those who signed up at the
September EEV General Meeting, you
will be contacted regarding your time
preferences and the two-day schedule. We need more drivers! Please
contact Gwen Wee for details and to
sign up. (FYI: This is not connected
with the City-Wide CB Radio Patrol.)
Did you know that over 90% of
the larcenies in the 5th Precinct have
been vehicular – where this crime of
opportunity speedily occurs when a
careless citizen leaves her/his belongings (purse, cell phone, laptop,
bag, etc.) out on a car seat, runs into
an establishment and upon return
finds a broken windowed vehicle
and missing items? Can you hear the
screamed expletives?
Or, that a perpetrator will less
likely “hit” a person who’s walking
alertly, confidently and with intent.
So, when out in public, get on with
your business. When in an establishment, do not flaunt your cash as there
might be someone watching. Don’t
dilly-dally with your smart phone,
have your car keys in your hand
when exiting a store or you’ll make a
target of yourself. Are you being over
anxious or smart?
DUSK TO DAWN – PORCH
LIGHTS ON!

pointing out the tremendous
variety of vegetables, flowers,
and fruit trees grown there. A
frequent remark was “I can’t
believe I am still in the city!”
Members were able to harvest
a few beets, eggplant, tomatoes and squash to take home.
We enjoyed a taco salad and
s’mores made over the firepit
to end a magical afternoon
meeting at 3 Sisters Farm.
Thank you to Beckie, Helen,
Tim and Marie for your hospitality and hard work.
The final meeting of the
EEV Garden Club will be our

hard to protect us and keep us safe,
but it’s our job to help — yes, help our
officers! Leaving porch lights on and
parking cars in the back yard or garage
is a start. For the most part, posting on
Facebook is not an effective manner to
resolve an issue. Taking some positive
action is a step in the right direction to
keeping us all happy and secure in our
community. Please take the time to call
and help us with the patrol for Halloween and throughout the week. Pay for
the security service, which is a deterrent to crime that continues to work for
us. And a last but simple thought —
take a moment to meet your neighbor!
You have to start somewhere.
Thanks to all the EEVA board
members and to you — the engaged
residents — who work so hard all the
time on projects to promote and move
the village forward. We all have so
many things on our plate these days
but it makes a positive impact where
you and I call home! We have an outstanding neighborhood with incredible people. It’s our time to shine!
I wanted to share with you the sad
and ever present danger our police
officers contend with every day. The
9th Precinct and the entire City of
Detroit lost a hero last month. Captain
Kenneth Steil was on the mend from
gunshot injuries received in the line
of duty on Sept. 12. He encountered
unforeseen complications and passed
away on Sept. 17. Captain Steil, known
as “Shark,” was a master diver and a
member of the Special Operations and
Underwater Recovery teams.
A few years ago, when we were part
of the DPD Eastern District, we had
October 2016
the pleasure of working with him on a
project called “Broken Windows.” We
will always appreciate and value the
time spent with this team that included Captain Steil. He had great ideas
and was always engaged in making
us better. He, like so many we work
with in the Detroit Police Department
and other agencies, was an exceptional
individual — human in all aspects,
something we tend to forget some
days. We will have a moment of silence to honor Captain Steil at the start
of our General Meeting and cards to
sign and send. EEV provided food and
beverages to the 9th Precinct in the
days leading up to the funeral Sept.
25. Rest in peace Captain Steil. Please
keep his young family, his friends and
his brothers and sisters in blue in your
thoughts and prayers.
Best regards,
- William Barlage, President
