Covenant Updating Heathland Section

The Covenants of Heathland Section are reaching maturity.

The residents of both Heathland “A” and “B” sections will be contacted in September to begin the updating process.

A meeting will be scheduled in early October to distribute Covenant documents and to address questions residents my have.

In the interim, residents of Heathland “A” and “B” can direct any questions or concerns to [email protected].

The money raised in the spring yielded a new merry-go-round and rebuilt pirate ship, as well as 50 yards of mulch too. I will begin more fundraising and volunteer recruitment in the fall to work on the next set of park renovations; rocking horses, carpentry repairs to the sandbox shelter and wishing well, log roll bracket replacement, fence repairs, sandbox sifter replacements. There was a great response and attendance with the three summer play dates! A nice spread of age groups came to play; they saw old friends and made some new ones.

I'm planning to host more park play dates, such as "pack and play" lunch dates during the school year in order to foster more community connections and welcome new residents to the area too. By Laura Stayin

Update on Our Corner of the World

THE SALISBURY COURIER - SEPTEMBER 2015

3

Area 1: Winterfield Station (Michaux Village) : Salisbury residents dealt with the Winterfield Road closure for a long weekend in August, and the result is now an almost straight path when traveling south on Winterfield Road to cross the railroad tracks on your way to Midlothian Pike. Site work is beginning on the construction of the 148 town homes

Area 2: (Western Corner of Winterfield Road and Railroad Tracks): Still working on obtaining the needed access to Midlothian Pike. Developer is also resolving some road phasing issues on the corner of Winterfield and Midlothian Pike.

Area 3: No change

Area 4: Karl Johnson Zoning Request: No known opposition but not finalized at this time.

Area 5: Blackwood Development. Public meeting brought much opposition to the proposed design and the possible Aldi store at this site. The case was deferred pending design changes and will be reviewed by the Midlothian Coalition sometime in August and September. Probably additional public meetings will be scheduled on this proposal.

Salisbury Village commercial will soon have a new tenant. DayBreaks/Visiting Angels will share the new 3000 square foot building on Dovercourt Road. DayBreaks will use about 2300 square feet and will probably get approval for 18-20 participants a day. The facility will provide a daytime location for the memory-challenged. Visiting Angel’s corporate office will use the remainder of the space. Visiting Angels is currently located off of Midlothian Pike and provides private in home care.

Spring Arbor of Salisbury Memory Care Unit: To be located in Lucky’s Field, ground breaking has been moved up to August or September.

Area Special Plan Progress: (Long Range Land Use Plans)

Bon Air Special Plan: Some public opposition at the last recent public meeting – concentrated on the part of the proposal that would change to mixed use some residential areas between Huguenot Road and Forest Hill Avenue. Residents want to maintain the character of the Bon Air. Currently scheduled to be heard at the September Chesterfield Planning Commission meeting. A second neighborhood meeting will be held before it reaches the Planning Commission.

Midlothian Special Plan: Will probably not come to public meetings until after the Bon Air Plan has been approved by the Board of Supervisors. Donna Cole, Vice President, 794-4211 [email protected]

Architectural Odds and Ends

By Ken Willard

A number of years ago, the SHOA board decided to not get involved in the issue of tree removal by our residents. While it is no longer necessary to get approval for trees to be removed, we still ask that all tree stumps, visible from the street in front, be chipped and covered over. This is an esthetic issue and is a minimal expense at the time of tree removal, and we track this as part of our agreement with ACS West.

There normally are easements of some kind in the ditch area or the area closest to the road of most home owners . These front easement areas are the responsibility of the home owner to maintain. We all need to be mindful that how we care for our own property can reflect on our neighbor’s properties. Again this is an esthetic and quality issue, as well as a drainage issue. Please try to keep these areas as neat as is possible and free of debris.

I do not need to tell you that our roads have taken a beating over this past year. There are areas that have a significant number of pot holes and road disintegration. VDOT gets a great deal of criticism, however, one area that they do a great job of is repairing pot holes. When a problem develops in an area you are aware of whether it’s your normal route to school or the grocery store, or it is in front of your house, simply call 1-800-367-7623 and report the problem. Choose option 2. You must give exact locations by house number and street. Submit Online Work Request to: http://www.virginiadot.org/travel/citizen.asp VDOT has been responsive and performed well over the years.

alisbury Garden Club

THE SALISBURY COURIER - SEPTEMBER 2015

5

The Salisbury Garden Club meets the third Wednesday of each month from September to May at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Salisbury. Meetings begin with a coffee and social time at 9:30, followed by a short business meeting and program. Monthly programs demonstrate the fine arts of floral and landscape design and the study of horticulture. Throughout the year, additional workshops are offered such as last year’s: Holiday Door Designs, Floral Design for the Beginner and Refresher for the Rusty Designer, and a Hypertufa workshop. To advance the fine arts of floral and landscape design, the Salisbury Garden Club sponsors a biennial flower show and in alternate years, a tour of members’ gardens.

Meetings are just a small part of the club- if you want, there are many opportunities to get involved in our community.

The Salisbury Garden Club members plant and maintain several civic beautification projects such as the Midlothian Volunteer Fire Station, the Midlothian Post Office, the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, the Midlothian High School entrance and the Salisbury entrance Christmas Decor.

The SGC provides educational opportunities for today’s youth. We sponsor youth education programs with Redeemer Church preschool classes, and 5th grade girls at Swansboro Elementary School. This past year we created a tree identification trail at the Robious Landing Park, along with Girl Scout Troop 876 and the James River HS Envirothon Club. In our monthly newsletter, Three Minute Tip continues to educate members with helpful hints. Another ongoing project includes helping the residents of Brookdale make flower arrangements in teacups for Mother’s Day and holiday door decorations in December. Each year members create large floral arrangements for area high school graduation exercises. Salisbury Garden Club was organized in May 1968, and is a member of the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs. Our membership, while diverse in age and residency, share an interest in the fine art of gardening and arranging, the desire for beautifying our homes and civic areas, and the protection and conservation of natural resources. Anyone who shares an interest in our objectives is welcome and encouraged to join.

Moving to Virginia last year, I am fortunate to have learned about the Salisbury Garden Club. The members are not only friendly, but are ready to lend a hand to another in any way they can. I learned a lot about Midlothian, and not only about gardening. Members shared their plants, ideas, expertise, time and supplies. I was encouraged to become as involved as I wanted to and learned a lot about floral design and gardening in Midlothian. I would encourage anyone who has any interest in gardening and arranging to join us at our next meeting on Wednesday, September 16.

New Wegmans on Midlothian

Construction on the 37-acre Chesterfield County retail development has been underway since the beginning of this year, and Wegmans, its anchor tenant, has the frame of its building nearly completed and should open in the spring of 2016. The site for the 200,000-square-foot shopping center is located near the intersection of Walmart Way and Midlothian Turnpike. It had been in the works since the mid-1990s, but sat largely dormant until recently, when Wegmans signed on.

With the popular grocer in place to take 130,000 square feet, other tenants quickly followed. Broker Connie Jordan Nielsen of Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer said she has leased out almost all the remaining space, with more deals pending. Other tenants that have signed for a share of the remaining 71,000 square feet include La-Z-Boy, Petco, Hand and Stone, Escape Nails and Day Spa, Orange Theory Fitness, Hair Cuttery and Blaze Pizza. They should open by summer 2016. A Cheddar’s restaurant had planned to join the development, Nielsen said, but that deal fell through last year. She said there’s only about 6,000 square feet left to lease within the forthcoming strip center. She attributes the interest in Stonehenge to both the presence of Wegmans and the current state of the retail market. “Wegmans is a huge catalyst, but we have had the project totally teed up since 2007, and it fell through with what happened with the economy,” Nielsen said. “So what’s happening in the market now is that retail is getting active, tenants are looking for deals, and there’s not a whole heck of a lot of new construction.“So it’s a combination of new construction and the Wegmans anchor, as well as the fact that the site has 45,000 cars a day in front of it.” Nielsen said plans also call for four outparcels, and she’ll begin working on landing tenants for those soon. Nicki Jassy of Thalhimer is also working on leasing at Stonehenge. Marchetti Properties is the developer of Stonehenge and delivered the Wegmans pad site to the grocer in December. Eagle Commercial Construction is building the shopping center, and Freeman Morgan Architects did the design. Landing Wegmans, Nielsen said, was a lengthy process. She’d been trying to bring the high-end grocer to Richmond for at least seven years.

Lyme Disease – Check Up & Refresher

Cont. on P. 9

Although May was Lyme disease awareness month, it is always timely to review how we may be exposed to the bite of infected ticks and how to recognize and prevent tick-borne infections. There has been a fair amount of publicity about Lyme disease, named after the town of Lyme, CT where it was first diagnosed in the 1970’s and how it has expanded in the USA. Virginia is one of 14 states that comprise 95% of confirmed Lyme disease cases. Virginia’s increase in Lyme disease cases is being studied and tracked by government and educational institutions. Jory Brinkerhoff, a University of Richmond assistant professor of biology, notes how the migration of the blacklegged tick that can transmit the disease continues throughout Virginia and steps we can take to identify and safeguard ourselves. (see link) http://www.roanoke.com/news/virginia/university-of-richmond-biologist-mapping-lyme-disease-expansion/article_e2140c49-7045-55ba-b0b9-1d9eef1207d3.html Signs and symptoms of Lyme disease are detectable but sometimes difficult to identify and medical attention may be required. There are several sites containing information on Lyme

disease and two of them are listed here. Such topics as: preventing tick bites (people, pets, yards), tick removal, transmission, signs and symptoms, diagnosis & testing, treatment, etc. (see link) http://www.cdc.gov/lyme/ http://lymedisease.org/photowall/lyme-disease-awareness-month.html

We cannot totally avoid ticks but we can educate ourselves and be proactive in knowing the symptoms and getting the proper medical assistance if we suspect infection by infected blacklegged ticks.

According to Health and Senior Services, the following precautions should be taken:

* Avoid tick-infested areas such as tall grass, brush, and dense vegetation. * Remove leaf litter and reduce the amount of shade and moisture in your yard to make it inhospitable for ticks. * Wear socks and shoes outdoors and tuck pants cuffs into socks. * Wear long sleeves and tuck in your shirt. Light, solid-colored clothing can help you spot ticks. * Use of insect repellent — for people and pets — is also recommended, along with a full-body exam after leaving a potential tick habitat.

School’s back in session

School buses transport our most cherished passengers: children. As parents and caregivers, we must remember to teach our children proper bus etiquette and proper behavior at the bus stop. As motorists, we must always be aware that there are children everywhere waiting for school buses.

Remember, when you see the flashing red lights and the stop bar, you must stop and allow children to get on or off the bus.

Safety Tip for Back to School

Make sure all back to school supplies are safe including backpacks. Rolling backpacks are strongly discouraged by the Chesterfield County Schools. See www.chesterfieldsafe.org for a list of products and safer substitutes

THE SALISBURY COURIER - SEPTEMBER 2015

Depending on the vagaries of our lovely Richmond weather, you may be reading this on yet another 90 plus degree day with corresponding humidity, but rest assured...autumn is on the way. So to get ready for it, here's a quiz about some of autumn's joys and quirks. Football to start you off.

1. The Washington professional team that now trains in Richmond trained for 34 years in a small Pennsylvania town. Name the town and the famous football player and all-around athlete whose name has long been associated with the town.

2. What can you do (carefully!) with an egg

on the autumn (and spring) equinox, but on no other day of the year?

3. T or F -- leaves turn color in the autumn. 4. Here's a really scary Halloween

fact: how many pounds of candy does the 321,000,000 population (as of this July) of the U.S. purchase for Halloween?

5. You want to make a gallon of apple cider

to celebrate the season. How many apples will you need?

6. When is the average date of Richmond's

first frost? 7. Baseball is the summer game, so when

will the World Series end this year if it goes to a full seven games?

8. Three states: Virginia, West Virginia,

and North Carolina -- what are the signature Thanksgiving side dishes for each?

9. Weather records have been kept in

Richmond for over 140 years. Those records show that one autumn month has had on average the least precipitation of any month. Which month is it?

10. Holiday Parades -- combining

Thanksgiving and Christmas parades, place the following cities in chronological order for parades, longest running to most recently begun: Philadelphia, Detroit, New York, Richmond.

THE SALISBURY COURIER - SEPTEMBER 2015

By Nancy Scherer

Salisbury Garden Club is open to men and women, regardless of residency, who share an interest in flowers and gardening. Our meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer. Our club year begins in September and ends in May. Creative programs are presented each month and numerous workshops are held throughout the year. We invite you to attend. For additional information, contact Martie Parch at 598-0584.

Wednesday, September 16th, 2015 Presentation; "CFAA 2015- A Kaleidoscope of Design Ideas" JoAnn McNabb and Diane Burgess

These two talented ladies are going to give us a presentation which they gave to the Creative Flowers Arrangers Association (CFAA). They have both exhibited at the Philadelphia Flower Show and are Virginia Flower Show Judges. Added to these accomplishments, they are on various Virginia Gardening Councils and Guilds. They will introduce us to exciting new techniques and ways to use different materials in floral designs. Through their expertise, we will learn new and creative ways to arrange flowers. Wednesday, October 21st, 2015 Presentation: Floral Design by David Pippin

David Pippin is a native Virginian and a man of many talents in the world of floral design, horticulture and landscaping. He is known throughout Virginia for his lectures, workshops and his creative wedding and special event designs. He is on the J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College Horticultural Advisory Committee and the American Horticultural Society's Children and Youth Garden Advisory Panel. He will give us the benefit of his vast experience in floral design which will undoubtedly inspire us to set our own sights to a new high. Wednesday, November 18th, 2015 presentation: Organic Urban Farming by Cabell Lemmond

Cabell Lemmond is a Registered Nurse turned organic urban farmer. She has given classes at Sneed's Nursery on how to grow herbs as well as monitor for disease and bugs. She will tell us about her farm in the City of Richmond and show us some of her produce (if the weather cooperates). She will also share her tips and tools for creating your own small scale vegetable garden with accents on the word "organic".

Tips - September, October, November When we think of planting fall containers, mums always come to mind. But there are so many other fall-like flowers and edibles from which to choose. Pansies, violas and coral bells can be easily mixed with lettuce, sage, parsley, miniature peppers, tiny pumpkins and gourds. This adds a nice variety and different textures to your container. These plants aren't likely to grow much due to the cooler weather, so plant them full. And as always, when combining multiple plants, make sure they have similar sun and watering requirements. And more importantly, when repotting your containers, make sure to clean them and use fresh potting soil. A good cleaning solution is 1/4 cup bleach to a gallon of water.

October and November are the prime times to plant most bulbs. Daffodils, crocus and tulips are the most popular. Since all three have a different size bulb, the rule of thumb is to plant bulbs three times deeper than the height of the bulb. Plant the "pointy" end of the bulb upward, since that is where the future stem will form.

I know this has been mentioned before, but it's worth repeating, with the planting season coming to an end, check and clean your gardening tools and apply a thin coating of oil before putting them away.

Autumn Quiz Answers:

1. Carlisle, Jim Thorpe

2. Place the egg on a level surface, larger end down. Then remove your hand. The egg should remain standing. The egg need not be hard boiled.

3. Trick question, of course. The answer is both. Traces of yellow and orange have been in the leaves throughout the summer, but obscured by the green chlo-rophyll that is part of photosynthesis. When light lessens and weather cools, photosynthesis stops, the chlorophyll disappears revealing the yellow and or-anges. Purples and reds in some trees, such as maples, comes from glucose trapped in the leaves when photosynthesis stops. And browns are mostly waste products.

4. 600 million pounds or the rough equivalent of 16 billion fun size Snickers.

5. Three dozen.

6. October 21-31

7. November 4

8. Virginia, collard greens. West Virginia, deer jerky. North Carolina, pig pickin cake (just google it, many recipes online. Before consuming spend about three hard hours at the gym as pre-penance for the calories!

9. November, with an average of 2.74 inches. However, if we take only the last 30 years February at 2.76 inches supplants November as the driest month.

10. The cities are listed in the correct order. Philadelphia had its first parade in 1920, Detroit and New York both began in 1924, but Detroit gets the silver medal because it has cancelled its parade only twice, while the New York one has been cancelled three times. This year will make Richmond's 32nd annual parade on December 5 (see calendar).
