Security Reminder
A resident asked that this message be sent along to their neighbors... It's a good reminder.
In the summer months I know many of us leave our homes, cars and/or garage doors open, sometimes while we are away quickly. Please make sure that you are putting your property in your garages and shutting them as well as locking your home’s doors and windows that are easily accessible. There was a moped theft from a driveway in the Victor Gardens Neighborhood Monday July 22nd

Missing Hugo Man
On 07/21/13, at approximately 2149 hours, the Washington County Sheriffs Office responded to the 13000 block of Europa Tr. in Hugo to take a report of a missing 75 year old male. The male left his residence a little after 1900 hours to go for a walk and has not been seen since. The male is Radivoje Ray Novakovic and was last seen wearing a maroon shirt, khaki pants and a brown hat. Novakovic is approximately 5'6", 160 lbs and has grey/white hair. Novakovic has been diagnosed as being diabetic, mild Bi-Polar and has been known to get disoriented.
The Washington County Sheriffs Office and fire personnel from Hugo, Forest Lake, Centennial Lakes and White Bear Lake are currently searching for Nakaovic.
At this time, there is no indication of foul play and the Washington County Sheriffs Office is not requesting volunteers to assist searching, but if you reside within walking distance from Novakovic's residence, we ask you to check your property for him. Call 911 if seen.

Birch Lawn Maintenance Installing New Trees
Over the next few days, you may notice Birch Lawn's red trucks and crews replacing sick and damaged trees throughout the neighborhood. This is part of the Board's ongoing maintenance of VG's public spaces.
Clock Tower Improvement
The broken clock in VG's clock tower has now been replaced with a new VG sign. Now, what do we call a clock tower without a clock?
