Don’t be surprised to spot a fox or coyote in your backyard.
Harvey Katowitz, who serves on the Security Committee on the HOA Board in nearby Providence Plantation, recently shared the following communication with neighbors in his community.
FOX & COYOTE SIGHTINGS
Hi Everyone:
I have received several reports of homeowners seeing fox & coyote in various locations in Providence Plantation.
Below is a photo of a fox sunbathing in the back yard of a home on Wyndfield Lane. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=wyndfield+lane+charlotte+nc&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&ie=UTF8&split=0&gl=us&ei=R_UrSujPJZ-qtgfhwfmjCA&ll=35.078126,-80.763416&spn=0.017104,0.038452&z=15
Foxes are solitary animals and are usually weary of humans. Fox attacks on humans are not common but have been reported. In Nov. 2008 a jogger in Arizona was bitten by a rabid fox.
Coyotes are often attracted to dog food and animals that are small enough to appear as prey. Items like garbage, pet food and sometimes even feeding stations for birds and squirrels will attract coyotes into backyards. Coyotes are more likely than foxes to attack pets, the majority of which are dogs. Though uncommon in the Charlotte area, approximately 3 to 5 pets attacked by coyotes are brought into the Animal Urgent Care hospital of South Orange County, CA each week. Coyote attacks on humans are uncommon and rarely cause serious injuries, due to the relatively small size of the coyote.
As with all wild animals it is best to keep your distance.

Since June 10 is the last day of the school year for students in Char-Meck Schools, this is a great time to remind residents of the Teen Curfew Law.
Char-Meck has a simple law…
If you’re under the age of 16, you need to be home by 11 p.m. during the week and by midnight on weekends.
Here in Providence Arbours, we experience ongoing issues with vandalism and graffiti at the Community Park. Please remind your children of this law and help to enforce it.
If you see children/teenagers breaking the curfew, call 911 and make a report.
The following message is from Officer James Russell, the CMPD community coordinator assigned to Providence Arbours:
Over the past week or so we have seen an increase in cars being broken into late at night (13). Below I have listed the block numbers where these incidents have occurred and we are patrolling in the affected areas. There are many different neighborhoods affected and we do not know where they will target next.
We need the help of the residents by removing all items from their vehicles and locking them up. Also please park them inside a garage if you can or use outside lights at night. Please report any suspicious activity to 911 immediately.
With school ending soon we have seen in the past these type of incidents rise. Please remember to know where your teens are at all times.
Again please help us by removing the items these criminals are looking for.
