Here in Olympia Gardens we have coyote & fox roaming freely. They live inside the drainage ditches and have tried to attack our dogs several times. Luckily we were out w/them each time it has occurred. We watch them crawl out of the drainpipes early in the morning. It's very unnerving w/little children who want to play outside. We never know when one will rear it's head or appear from hiding behind the trees waiting to catch dinner!

I know I was talking about the general harmlessness of coyotes in the Patch Talk, but nuisance coyotes are very real and should be treated with caution. If you think the coyote is becoming more bold and if it starts showing signs of fearlessness towards humans, it's probably best to call Cook County Animal Control at (708) 974-6140.

I've saw a coyoyte a couple of years ago crossing Crawford near 180th last year. I saw a fox crossing Western near Joe Orr Rd late night a few weeks ago.

When this started I thought it would be a great alternative to the old local Star newspaper. Now…Read More there is less and less real news and more "stuff". It is a disappointment to those of us who look for local news, especially for news of the local government and local agencies.

Ms. Wallace, so sorry for the inconvenience. Please know that we do plan to make the X1 available…Read More more widely over time. To make for the best possible customer experience and to manage inventories of new equipment as it becomes available, we tend to start small and expand availability of new technologies. Note also that X1 requires a professional installation, so we are targeting customers that would require professional installation anyway.

You are correct that Corey Ray attended Simeon High School, but he now plays for a collegiate summer…Read More baseball team called the Southland Vikings. Other than the fact that Southland's home field is the H-F High School field, there are no other connections between the Southland Vikings and the H-F High School Vikings.
