Hello Everyone
We are heading into a great time of year in Springwells Park The new green is breaking out all over and
the beautiful flowering trees are in full bloom The weather has been cool which is all the better to keep
the buds on the trees and the tulip and daffodil petals on their stems
I hope everyone is taking advantage of the SPA flower sale The date has been extended in case you have
not ordered yet The new deadline is May 13th Remember that SPA subsidizes the sale by contributing
one dollar for each item We do this in order to encourage all neighbors to participate Nothing improves
a neighborhood like beautiful gardens
The SPA has a wish list of ideas and events that would enhance the neighborhood for all us who live
here The list includeshellip Summer bike nights one night a month May through October We would set a
path winding through the streets and end up in one of our commons for a bonfire Happy Hours casual
get-togethers held in a home Simple parties where we get to know one another and build the community
Music Night an evening of sharing our talents with one another Clean Up Crew a group of people
who pitch in together to maintain the neighborhood We would keep our major approaches clean as well
as initiating special projects Commons Clean Up Days dates chosen by surrounding neighbors to work
on the commons A community effort to enhance one of the most unique assets of Springwells Park Pet
Day in a common a gathering of friendly neighbors and friendly pets to encourage socializing for two
and four legged participants
The events that are already in place include the Easter egg hunt the SPA flower sale the garage sale the
summer picnic the Halloween party and the Santa Trolley The newsletter is published four times a year
by our dedicated editor The website is kept up to date by our webmaster Board members attend meet-
ings in the city monthly in order to keep SPA issues and priorities forefront for city officials Concerned
neighbors stand before the traffic commission in an effort to make the streets of our neighborhood safer
for all of us The restrictions committee meets regularly in order to help neighbors improve their homes
while maintaining the Colonial Early American charm that fills our streets and keeps the home values
higher here than comparable neighborhoods
It is no secret that SPA is blessed to have a core of great volunteers They put their heart and soul into
the place they live It is also evident that we need more people We truly need more people Many hands
make light work and we need more hands We need new neighbors to step forward introduce yourselves
and pitch in Start by attending the General Meeting on Wednesday May 18th at 7pm at St Katerirsquos Vol-
unteering in your own neighborhood builds community and lifelong friendships
Lindel Salow who is our Recording Secretary will be stepping down at the end of May Thank you Lin-
del for finding time for the SPA in your busy life Your presence insight and humor will be greatly
missed
We need a willing volunteer to fill the recording secretary position Perhaps this is a job that you could
step forward to fill We also need an Area Rep in area 5 This is an outstanding way to become active in
your community and a great way to meet your neighbors If you value this neighborhood we need you
I am hoping for a beautiful and peaceful summer for all of us

Springwells Park Easter Egg Hunt
Easter Egg Hunt a Huge Success
On Saturday March 19th the Easter Bunny made time in his very busy schedule to entertain the children
of Springwells Park He brought them more eggs than they could count some of the children had trouble
carrying their bounty in the baskets and bags they brought along for the job Mr Bunny stuck around and
posed for pictures with any youngster or parent that asked The rain held off and the event went off with-
out a hitch
A big thank you to Christie Swift who along with her husband Jonathan and their children made this Egg
hunt such a great success It is people and families like this that are willing to step forward and volunteer
their time that makes Springwells Park the great neighborhood it is We cannot do it without you
Thank you to Nathan Keelan who made sure that the Easter Bunny could find commons 3 and get there
on time looking his best for the crowd
Additional thanks go to 7 Eleven who generously donated hundreds of coupons for slurpies and other
treats Our friends at Biggby Coffee Killoud and her crew who donated coffee and hot chocolate to
keep the chill of the day at bay Residents who donated candy or eggs

Springwells Park Association
Our Neighborhood Parks - Uncommon Commons
Some of you may already know that Springwells Park is one of a few neighborhoods in Michigan (and
the only neighborhood in Dearborn and surrounding cities) that can point to the common areas as
unique amenities But did you also know that the area represents approximately 10 acres of land des-
ignated for Springwells Park residents A few other ldquofun factsrdquo about the Commons or Parks as they
are referred to by many residents include
Trees found in common areas include European Beach White Oak and Golden Maple plus a vari-ety of flowering shrubs Those who are interested in researching all species of trees in the Springwells Park Commons will find a great place to conduct their research projects all year long Bird watching in Springwells Park Commons The Audubon Society (now referred to simply as ldquoAudobonrdquo) has been protecting birds and the environment since 1939 More than 6000 Detroit Audu-bon members stretch from St Clair County to Ann Arbor to the Ohio State Line Springwells Park Com-mons is a great place to start your bird-watching adventures For more information contact wwwdetroitaudubonorg Passive and Active Recreation in Springwells Park Commons Among the recent uses of common areas are casual walks summertime picnics and neighborhood gatherings camp-outs and music fes-tivities sledding (an historically popular use of a portion on the commons) and the annual Easter Egg hunt The SPA Board welcomes other suggestions on ways that neighbors can promote passive and active recreation in our commons Funding the Maintenance and Improvement of the Springwells Park Commons What many neighbors may not know is that Springwells Park Association pays for insurance and taxes on these common areas A portion of your annual dues are used for this purpose In addition a ldquotree fundrdquo has been established for occasional tree trimming left when trees fall as a result of storms How can we all contribute to the upkeep of these uncommon common areas Many residents donrsquot use the common areas for passive or active recreation while others donrsquot see the need to main-tain the property that is perhaps adjacent to their own
ldquoIn truth since we are all members of Springwells Park the common areas are eve-ryonersquos responsibility Just as those of us with sidewalks in front of our homes keep them clear for the many walkers in the neighborhood throughout the long and snowy winters so must we all contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the common areasThey are a unique asset to our neighborhood and deserve our attention and care
Cynthia Polakowski President
Springwells Park Association
Page 10 May 8 2016
Uncommon Commons - continued
While some homeowners enjoy direct views to the com-mon areas others may only occasionally use them for casual walks or neighborhood events Nevertheless we should all recognize and contribute to the ongoing maintenance of this amenity Minimally we should consider how we can help by doing the following
Report tree damage to your area rep or to the Parks
Co-Chairs (see Bluebook for contact information)
Recognize the efforts of neighbors who show a
special interest in maintaining park areas by writing to
your Area Representative or to the Newsletter Editor
If you are one of the lucky residents who live adjacent to a common area know where your property
ends and common area begins and honor the common boundary by not encroaching or ldquotakingrdquo
land designated for use by all residents of Springwells Park Consider how you can contribute to
maintenance by mowing areas adjacent to your property
Donrsquot litter donrsquot dump and donrsquot expect your neighbors to maintain the parks for you
Pull fallen branches out to the street for yard waste collection on Mondays
Share this resource appropriately - encourage gatherings by SPA neighbors
Organize teams of residents (Friends of Common Area 1 for instance) to clear walks and pathways
clean up debris and take fallen branches to the curb for City pick-up
Pay your dues and consider contributing to the tree fund
Rules governing the use and maintenance of the common areas are found on pages 48-49 of
the current ldquoBluebookrdquo - our neighborhood directory

Neighbors We need Your Help
All you lucky neighbors who abut the commons we need your help The early spring storms have
caused a lot of sticks to fall from our magnificent trees in the commons If you would be so
kind as to bundle and place them out for Monday pickups it would be greatly appreciated Re-
member that we all take care of the neighborhood in our capacity Some of us shovel snow all
winter so everyone is free to walk safely

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over
and over again in very quick successions
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

the parking lot of the store where it belongs

please advise them to cease this behavior They may be prosecuted for the larceny and littering charges if

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

Hello Everyone
We are heading into a great time of year in Springwells Park The new green is breaking out all over and
the beautiful flowering trees are in full bloom The weather has been cool which is all the better to keep
the buds on the trees and the tulip and daffodil petals on their stems
I hope everyone is taking advantage of the SPA flower sale The date has been extended in case you have
not ordered yet The new deadline is May 13th Remember that SPA subsidizes the sale by contributing
one dollar for each item We do this in order to encourage all neighbors to participate Nothing improves
a neighborhood like beautiful gardens
The SPA has a wish list of ideas and events that would enhance the neighborhood for all us who live
here The list includeshellip Summer bike nights one night a month May through October We would set a
path winding through the streets and end up in one of our commons for a bonfire Happy Hours casual
get-togethers held in a home Simple parties where we get to know one another and build the community
Music Night an evening of sharing our talents with one another Clean Up Crew a group of people
who pitch in together to maintain the neighborhood We would keep our major approaches clean as well
as initiating special projects Commons Clean Up Days dates chosen by surrounding neighbors to work
on the commons A community effort to enhance one of the most unique assets of Springwells Park Pet
Day in a common a gathering of friendly neighbors and friendly pets to encourage socializing for two
and four legged participants
The events that are already in place include the Easter egg hunt the SPA flower sale the garage sale the
summer picnic the Halloween party and the Santa Trolley The newsletter is published four times a year
by our dedicated editor The website is kept up to date by our webmaster Board members attend meet-
ings in the city monthly in order to keep SPA issues and priorities forefront for city officials Concerned
neighbors stand before the traffic commission in an effort to make the streets of our neighborhood safer
for all of us The restrictions committee meets regularly in order to help neighbors improve their homes
while maintaining the Colonial Early American charm that fills our streets and keeps the home values
higher here than comparable neighborhoods
It is no secret that SPA is blessed to have a core of great volunteers They put their heart and soul into
the place they live It is also evident that we need more people We truly need more people Many hands
make light work and we need more hands We need new neighbors to step forward introduce yourselves
and pitch in Start by attending the General Meeting on Wednesday May 18th at 7pm at St Katerirsquos Vol-
unteering in your own neighborhood builds community and lifelong friendships
Lindel Salow who is our Recording Secretary will be stepping down at the end of May Thank you Lin-
del for finding time for the SPA in your busy life Your presence insight and humor will be greatly
missed
We need a willing volunteer to fill the recording secretary position Perhaps this is a job that you could
step forward to fill We also need an Area Rep in area 5 This is an outstanding way to become active in
your community and a great way to meet your neighbors If you value this neighborhood we need you
I am hoping for a beautiful and peaceful summer for all of us

Springwells Park Easter Egg Hunt
Easter Egg Hunt a Huge Success
On Saturday March 19th the Easter Bunny made time in his very busy schedule to entertain the children
of Springwells Park He brought them more eggs than they could count some of the children had trouble
carrying their bounty in the baskets and bags they brought along for the job Mr Bunny stuck around and
posed for pictures with any youngster or parent that asked The rain held off and the event went off with-
out a hitch
A big thank you to Christie Swift who along with her husband Jonathan and their children made this Egg
hunt such a great success It is people and families like this that are willing to step forward and volunteer
their time that makes Springwells Park the great neighborhood it is We cannot do it without you
Thank you to Nathan Keelan who made sure that the Easter Bunny could find commons 3 and get there
on time looking his best for the crowd
Additional thanks go to 7 Eleven who generously donated hundreds of coupons for slurpies and other
treats Our friends at Biggby Coffee Killoud and her crew who donated coffee and hot chocolate to

Springwells Park Association
Our Neighborhood Parks - Uncommon Commons
Some of you may already know that Springwells Park is one of a few neighborhoods in Michigan (and
the only neighborhood in Dearborn and surrounding cities) that can point to the common areas as
unique amenities But did you also know that the area represents approximately 10 acres of land des-
ignated for Springwells Park residents A few other ldquofun factsrdquo about the Commons or Parks as they
are referred to by many residents include
Trees found in common areas include European Beach White Oak and Golden Maple plus a vari-ety of flowering shrubs Those who are interested in researching all species of trees in the Springwells Park Commons will find a great place to conduct their research projects all year long Bird watching in Springwells Park Commons The Audubon Society (now referred to simply as ldquoAudobonrdquo) has been protecting birds and the environment since 1939 More than 6000 Detroit Audu-bon members stretch from St Clair County to Ann Arbor to the Ohio State Line Springwells Park Com-mons is a great place to start your bird-watching adventures For more information contact wwwdetroitaudubonorg Passive and Active Recreation in Springwells Park Commons Among the recent uses of common areas are casual walks summertime picnics and neighborhood gatherings camp-outs and music fes-tivities sledding (an historically popular use of a portion on the commons) and the annual Easter Egg hunt The SPA Board welcomes other suggestions on ways that neighbors can promote passive and active recreation in our commons Funding the Maintenance and Improvement of the Springwells Park Commons What many neighbors may not know is that Springwells Park Association pays for insurance and taxes on these common areas A portion of your annual dues are used for this purpose In addition a ldquotree fundrdquo has been established for occasional tree trimming left when trees fall as a result of storms How can we all contribute to the upkeep of these uncommon common areas Many residents donrsquot use the common areas for passive or active recreation while others donrsquot see the need to main-tain the property that is perhaps adjacent to their own
ldquoIn truth since we are all members of Springwells Park the common areas are eve-ryonersquos responsibility Just as those of us with sidewalks in front of our homes keep them clear for the many walkers in the neighborhood throughout the long and snowy winters so must we all contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the common areasThey are a unique asset to our neighborhood and deserve our attention and care
Cynthia Polakowski President
Springwells Park Association
Page 10 May 8 2016
Uncommon Commons - continued
While some homeowners enjoy direct views to the com-mon areas others may only occasionally use them for casual walks or neighborhood events Nevertheless we should all recognize and contribute to the ongoing maintenance of this amenity Minimally we should consider how we can help by doing the following
Report tree damage to your area rep or to the Parks
Co-Chairs (see Bluebook for contact information)
Recognize the efforts of neighbors who show a
special interest in maintaining park areas by writing to
your Area Representative or to the Newsletter Editor
If you are one of the lucky residents who live adjacent to a common area know where your property
ends and common area begins and honor the common boundary by not encroaching or ldquotakingrdquo
land designated for use by all residents of Springwells Park Consider how you can contribute to
maintenance by mowing areas adjacent to your property
Donrsquot litter donrsquot dump and donrsquot expect your neighbors to maintain the parks for you
Pull fallen branches out to the street for yard waste collection on Mondays
Share this resource appropriately - encourage gatherings by SPA neighbors
Organize teams of residents (Friends of Common Area 1 for instance) to clear walks and pathways
clean up debris and take fallen branches to the curb for City pick-up
Pay your dues and consider contributing to the tree fund
Rules governing the use and maintenance of the common areas are found on pages 48-49 of
the current ldquoBluebookrdquo - our neighborhood directory

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over
and over again in very quick successions
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

Springwells Park Easter Egg Hunt
Easter Egg Hunt a Huge Success
On Saturday March 19th the Easter Bunny made time in his very busy schedule to entertain the children
of Springwells Park He brought them more eggs than they could count some of the children had trouble
carrying their bounty in the baskets and bags they brought along for the job Mr Bunny stuck around and
posed for pictures with any youngster or parent that asked The rain held off and the event went off with-
out a hitch
A big thank you to Christie Swift who along with her husband Jonathan and their children made this Egg
hunt such a great success It is people and families like this that are willing to step forward and volunteer
their time that makes Springwells Park the great neighborhood it is We cannot do it without you
Thank you to Nathan Keelan who made sure that the Easter Bunny could find commons 3 and get there
on time looking his best for the crowd
Additional thanks go to 7 Eleven who generously donated hundreds of coupons for slurpies and other
treats Our friends at Biggby Coffee Killoud and her crew who donated coffee and hot chocolate to

Springwells Park Association
Our Neighborhood Parks - Uncommon Commons
Some of you may already know that Springwells Park is one of a few neighborhoods in Michigan (and
the only neighborhood in Dearborn and surrounding cities) that can point to the common areas as
unique amenities But did you also know that the area represents approximately 10 acres of land des-
ignated for Springwells Park residents A few other ldquofun factsrdquo about the Commons or Parks as they
are referred to by many residents include
Trees found in common areas include European Beach White Oak and Golden Maple plus a vari-ety of flowering shrubs Those who are interested in researching all species of trees in the Springwells Park Commons will find a great place to conduct their research projects all year long Bird watching in Springwells Park Commons The Audubon Society (now referred to simply as ldquoAudobonrdquo) has been protecting birds and the environment since 1939 More than 6000 Detroit Audu-bon members stretch from St Clair County to Ann Arbor to the Ohio State Line Springwells Park Com-mons is a great place to start your bird-watching adventures For more information contact wwwdetroitaudubonorg Passive and Active Recreation in Springwells Park Commons Among the recent uses of common areas are casual walks summertime picnics and neighborhood gatherings camp-outs and music fes-tivities sledding (an historically popular use of a portion on the commons) and the annual Easter Egg hunt The SPA Board welcomes other suggestions on ways that neighbors can promote passive and active recreation in our commons Funding the Maintenance and Improvement of the Springwells Park Commons What many neighbors may not know is that Springwells Park Association pays for insurance and taxes on these common areas A portion of your annual dues are used for this purpose In addition a ldquotree fundrdquo has been established for occasional tree trimming left when trees fall as a result of storms How can we all contribute to the upkeep of these uncommon common areas Many residents donrsquot use the common areas for passive or active recreation while others donrsquot see the need to main-tain the property that is perhaps adjacent to their own
ldquoIn truth since we are all members of Springwells Park the common areas are eve-ryonersquos responsibility Just as those of us with sidewalks in front of our homes keep them clear for the many walkers in the neighborhood throughout the long and snowy winters so must we all contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the common areasThey are a unique asset to our neighborhood and deserve our attention and care
Cynthia Polakowski President
Springwells Park Association
Page 10 May 8 2016
Uncommon Commons - continued
While some homeowners enjoy direct views to the com-mon areas others may only occasionally use them for casual walks or neighborhood events Nevertheless we should all recognize and contribute to the ongoing maintenance of this amenity Minimally we should consider how we can help by doing the following
Report tree damage to your area rep or to the Parks
Co-Chairs (see Bluebook for contact information)
Recognize the efforts of neighbors who show a
special interest in maintaining park areas by writing to
your Area Representative or to the Newsletter Editor
If you are one of the lucky residents who live adjacent to a common area know where your property
ends and common area begins and honor the common boundary by not encroaching or ldquotakingrdquo
land designated for use by all residents of Springwells Park Consider how you can contribute to
maintenance by mowing areas adjacent to your property
Donrsquot litter donrsquot dump and donrsquot expect your neighbors to maintain the parks for you
Pull fallen branches out to the street for yard waste collection on Mondays
Share this resource appropriately - encourage gatherings by SPA neighbors
Organize teams of residents (Friends of Common Area 1 for instance) to clear walks and pathways
clean up debris and take fallen branches to the curb for City pick-up
Pay your dues and consider contributing to the tree fund
Rules governing the use and maintenance of the common areas are found on pages 48-49 of
the current ldquoBluebookrdquo - our neighborhood directory

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over
and over again in very quick successions
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

On Saturday March 19th the Easter Bunny made time in his very busy schedule to entertain the children
of Springwells Park He brought them more eggs than they could count some of the children had trouble
carrying their bounty in the baskets and bags they brought along for the job Mr Bunny stuck around and

Springwells Park Association
Our Neighborhood Parks - Uncommon Commons
Some of you may already know that Springwells Park is one of a few neighborhoods in Michigan (and
the only neighborhood in Dearborn and surrounding cities) that can point to the common areas as
unique amenities But did you also know that the area represents approximately 10 acres of land des-
ignated for Springwells Park residents A few other ldquofun factsrdquo about the Commons or Parks as they
are referred to by many residents include
Trees found in common areas include European Beach White Oak and Golden Maple plus a vari-ety of flowering shrubs Those who are interested in researching all species of trees in the Springwells Park Commons will find a great place to conduct their research projects all year long Bird watching in Springwells Park Commons The Audubon Society (now referred to simply as ldquoAudobonrdquo) has been protecting birds and the environment since 1939 More than 6000 Detroit Audu-bon members stretch from St Clair County to Ann Arbor to the Ohio State Line Springwells Park Com-mons is a great place to start your bird-watching adventures For more information contact wwwdetroitaudubonorg Passive and Active Recreation in Springwells Park Commons Among the recent uses of common areas are casual walks summertime picnics and neighborhood gatherings camp-outs and music fes-tivities sledding (an historically popular use of a portion on the commons) and the annual Easter Egg hunt The SPA Board welcomes other suggestions on ways that neighbors can promote passive and active recreation in our commons Funding the Maintenance and Improvement of the Springwells Park Commons What many neighbors may not know is that Springwells Park Association pays for insurance and taxes on these common areas A portion of your annual dues are used for this purpose In addition a ldquotree fundrdquo has been established for occasional tree trimming left when trees fall as a result of storms How can we all contribute to the upkeep of these uncommon common areas Many residents donrsquot use the common areas for passive or active recreation while others donrsquot see the need to main-tain the property that is perhaps adjacent to their own
ldquoIn truth since we are all members of Springwells Park the common areas are eve-ryonersquos responsibility Just as those of us with sidewalks in front of our homes keep them clear for the many walkers in the neighborhood throughout the long and snowy winters so must we all contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the common areasThey are a unique asset to our neighborhood and deserve our attention and care
Cynthia Polakowski President
Springwells Park Association
Page 10 May 8 2016
Uncommon Commons - continued
While some homeowners enjoy direct views to the com-mon areas others may only occasionally use them for casual walks or neighborhood events Nevertheless we should all recognize and contribute to the ongoing maintenance of this amenity Minimally we should consider how we can help by doing the following
Report tree damage to your area rep or to the Parks
Co-Chairs (see Bluebook for contact information)
Recognize the efforts of neighbors who show a
special interest in maintaining park areas by writing to
your Area Representative or to the Newsletter Editor
If you are one of the lucky residents who live adjacent to a common area know where your property
ends and common area begins and honor the common boundary by not encroaching or ldquotakingrdquo
land designated for use by all residents of Springwells Park Consider how you can contribute to
maintenance by mowing areas adjacent to your property
Donrsquot litter donrsquot dump and donrsquot expect your neighbors to maintain the parks for you
Pull fallen branches out to the street for yard waste collection on Mondays
Share this resource appropriately - encourage gatherings by SPA neighbors
Organize teams of residents (Friends of Common Area 1 for instance) to clear walks and pathways
clean up debris and take fallen branches to the curb for City pick-up
Pay your dues and consider contributing to the tree fund
Rules governing the use and maintenance of the common areas are found on pages 48-49 of
the current ldquoBluebookrdquo - our neighborhood directory

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over
and over again in very quick successions
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

Our Neighborhood Parks - Uncommon Commons
Some of you may already know that Springwells Park is one of a few neighborhoods in Michigan (and
the only neighborhood in Dearborn and surrounding cities) that can point to the common areas as
unique amenities But did you also know that the area represents approximately 10 acres of land des-
ignated for Springwells Park residents A few other ldquofun factsrdquo about the Commons or Parks as they
are referred to by many residents include
Trees found in common areas include European Beach White Oak and Golden Maple plus a vari-ety of flowering shrubs Those who are interested in researching all species of trees in the Springwells Park Commons will find a great place to conduct their research projects all year long Bird watching in Springwells Park Commons The Audubon Society (now referred to simply as ldquoAudobonrdquo) has been protecting birds and the environment since 1939 More than 6000 Detroit Audu-bon members stretch from St Clair County to Ann Arbor to the Ohio State Line Springwells Park Com-mons is a great place to start your bird-watching adventures For more information contact wwwdetroitaudubonorg Passive and Active Recreation in Springwells Park Commons Among the recent uses of common areas are casual walks summertime picnics and neighborhood gatherings camp-outs and music fes-tivities sledding (an historically popular use of a portion on the commons) and the annual Easter Egg hunt The SPA Board welcomes other suggestions on ways that neighbors can promote passive and active recreation in our commons Funding the Maintenance and Improvement of the Springwells Park Commons What many neighbors may not know is that Springwells Park Association pays for insurance and taxes on these common areas A portion of your annual dues are used for this purpose In addition a ldquotree fundrdquo has been established for occasional tree trimming left when trees fall as a result of storms How can we all contribute to the upkeep of these uncommon common areas Many residents donrsquot use the common areas for passive or active recreation while others donrsquot see the need to main-tain the property that is perhaps adjacent to their own
ldquoIn truth since we are all members of Springwells Park the common areas are eve-ryonersquos responsibility Just as those of us with sidewalks in front of our homes keep them clear for the many walkers in the neighborhood throughout the long and snowy winters so must we all contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the common areasThey are a unique asset to our neighborhood and deserve our attention and care

Uncommon Commons - continued
While some homeowners enjoy direct views to the com-mon areas others may only occasionally use them for casual walks or neighborhood events Nevertheless we should all recognize and contribute to the ongoing maintenance of this amenity Minimally we should consider how we can help by doing the following
Report tree damage to your area rep or to the Parks
Co-Chairs (see Bluebook for contact information)
Recognize the efforts of neighbors who show a
special interest in maintaining park areas by writing to
your Area Representative or to the Newsletter Editor
If you are one of the lucky residents who live adjacent to a common area know where your property
ends and common area begins and honor the common boundary by not encroaching or ldquotakingrdquo
land designated for use by all residents of Springwells Park Consider how you can contribute to
maintenance by mowing areas adjacent to your property
Donrsquot litter donrsquot dump and donrsquot expect your neighbors to maintain the parks for you
Pull fallen branches out to the street for yard waste collection on Mondays
Share this resource appropriately - encourage gatherings by SPA neighbors
Organize teams of residents (Friends of Common Area 1 for instance) to clear walks and pathways
clean up debris and take fallen branches to the curb for City pick-up
Pay your dues and consider contributing to the tree fund
Rules governing the use and maintenance of the common areas are found on pages 48-49 of
the current ldquoBluebookrdquo - our neighborhood directory

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over
and over again in very quick successions
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

Our Neighborhood Parks - Uncommon Commons
Some of you may already know that Springwells Park is one of a few neighborhoods in Michigan (and
the only neighborhood in Dearborn and surrounding cities) that can point to the common areas as
unique amenities But did you also know that the area represents approximately 10 acres of land des-
ignated for Springwells Park residents A few other ldquofun factsrdquo about the Commons or Parks as they
are referred to by many residents include
Trees found in common areas include European Beach White Oak and Golden Maple plus a vari-ety of flowering shrubs Those who are interested in researching all species of trees in the Springwells Park Commons will find a great place to conduct their research projects all year long Bird watching in Springwells Park Commons The Audubon Society (now referred to simply as ldquoAudobonrdquo) has been protecting birds and the environment since 1939 More than 6000 Detroit Audu-bon members stretch from St Clair County to Ann Arbor to the Ohio State Line Springwells Park Com-mons is a great place to start your bird-watching adventures For more information contact wwwdetroitaudubonorg Passive and Active Recreation in Springwells Park Commons Among the recent uses of common areas are casual walks summertime picnics and neighborhood gatherings camp-outs and music fes-tivities sledding (an historically popular use of a portion on the commons) and the annual Easter Egg hunt The SPA Board welcomes other suggestions on ways that neighbors can promote passive and active recreation in our commons Funding the Maintenance and Improvement of the Springwells Park Commons What many neighbors may not know is that Springwells Park Association pays for insurance and taxes on these common areas A portion of your annual dues are used for this purpose In addition a ldquotree fundrdquo has been established for occasional tree trimming left when trees fall as a result of storms How can we all contribute to the upkeep of these uncommon common areas Many residents donrsquot use the common areas for passive or active recreation while others donrsquot see the need to main-tain the property that is perhaps adjacent to their own
ldquoIn truth since we are all members of Springwells Park the common areas are eve-ryonersquos responsibility Just as those of us with sidewalks in front of our homes keep them clear for the many walkers in the neighborhood throughout the long and snowy winters so must we all contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the common areasThey are a unique asset to our neighborhood and deserve our attention and care

Uncommon Commons - continued
While some homeowners enjoy direct views to the com-mon areas others may only occasionally use them for casual walks or neighborhood events Nevertheless we should all recognize and contribute to the ongoing maintenance of this amenity Minimally we should consider how we can help by doing the following
Report tree damage to your area rep or to the Parks
Co-Chairs (see Bluebook for contact information)
Recognize the efforts of neighbors who show a
special interest in maintaining park areas by writing to
your Area Representative or to the Newsletter Editor
If you are one of the lucky residents who live adjacent to a common area know where your property
ends and common area begins and honor the common boundary by not encroaching or ldquotakingrdquo
land designated for use by all residents of Springwells Park Consider how you can contribute to
maintenance by mowing areas adjacent to your property
Donrsquot litter donrsquot dump and donrsquot expect your neighbors to maintain the parks for you
Pull fallen branches out to the street for yard waste collection on Mondays
Share this resource appropriately - encourage gatherings by SPA neighbors
Organize teams of residents (Friends of Common Area 1 for instance) to clear walks and pathways
clean up debris and take fallen branches to the curb for City pick-up
Pay your dues and consider contributing to the tree fund
Rules governing the use and maintenance of the common areas are found on pages 48-49 of
the current ldquoBluebookrdquo - our neighborhood directory

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over

Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

Our Neighborhood Parks - Uncommon Commons
Some of you may already know that Springwells Park is one of a few neighborhoods in Michigan (and
the only neighborhood in Dearborn and surrounding cities) that can point to the common areas as
unique amenities But did you also know that the area represents approximately 10 acres of land des-
ignated for Springwells Park residents A few other ldquofun factsrdquo about the Commons or Parks as they
are referred to by many residents include
Trees found in common areas include European Beach White Oak and Golden Maple plus a vari-ety of flowering shrubs Those who are interested in researching all species of trees in the Springwells Park Commons will find a great place to conduct their research projects all year long Bird watching in Springwells Park Commons The Audubon Society (now referred to simply as ldquoAudobonrdquo) has been protecting birds and the environment since 1939 More than 6000 Detroit Audu-bon members stretch from St Clair County to Ann Arbor to the Ohio State Line Springwells Park Com-mons is a great place to start your bird-watching adventures For more information contact wwwdetroitaudubonorg Passive and Active Recreation in Springwells Park Commons Among the recent uses of common areas are casual walks summertime picnics and neighborhood gatherings camp-outs and music fes-tivities sledding (an historically popular use of a portion on the commons) and the annual Easter Egg hunt The SPA Board welcomes other suggestions on ways that neighbors can promote passive and active recreation in our commons Funding the Maintenance and Improvement of the Springwells Park Commons What many neighbors may not know is that Springwells Park Association pays for insurance and taxes on these common areas A portion of your annual dues are used for this purpose In addition a ldquotree fundrdquo has been established for occasional tree trimming left when trees fall as a result of storms How can we all contribute to the upkeep of these uncommon common areas Many residents donrsquot use the common areas for passive or active recreation while others donrsquot see the need to main-tain the property that is perhaps adjacent to their own
ldquoIn truth since we are all members of Springwells Park the common areas are eve-ryonersquos responsibility Just as those of us with sidewalks in front of our homes keep them clear for the many walkers in the neighborhood throughout the long and snowy winters so must we all contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the common areasThey are a unique asset to our neighborhood and deserve our attention and care
Cynthia Polakowski President
Springwells Park Association
Page 10 May 8 2016
Uncommon Commons - continued
While some homeowners enjoy direct views to the com-mon areas others may only occasionally use them for casual walks or neighborhood events Nevertheless we should all recognize and contribute to the ongoing maintenance of this amenity Minimally we should consider how we can help by doing the following
Report tree damage to your area rep or to the Parks
Co-Chairs (see Bluebook for contact information)
Recognize the efforts of neighbors who show a
special interest in maintaining park areas by writing to
your Area Representative or to the Newsletter Editor
If you are one of the lucky residents who live adjacent to a common area know where your property
ends and common area begins and honor the common boundary by not encroaching or ldquotakingrdquo
land designated for use by all residents of Springwells Park Consider how you can contribute to
maintenance by mowing areas adjacent to your property
Donrsquot litter donrsquot dump and donrsquot expect your neighbors to maintain the parks for you
Pull fallen branches out to the street for yard waste collection on Mondays
Share this resource appropriately - encourage gatherings by SPA neighbors
Organize teams of residents (Friends of Common Area 1 for instance) to clear walks and pathways
clean up debris and take fallen branches to the curb for City pick-up
Pay your dues and consider contributing to the tree fund
Rules governing the use and maintenance of the common areas are found on pages 48-49 of
the current ldquoBluebookrdquo - our neighborhood directory

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over
and over again in very quick successions
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

Springwells Park Association
Our Neighborhood Parks - Uncommon Commons
Some of you may already know that Springwells Park is one of a few neighborhoods in Michigan (and
the only neighborhood in Dearborn and surrounding cities) that can point to the common areas as
unique amenities But did you also know that the area represents approximately 10 acres of land des-
ignated for Springwells Park residents A few other ldquofun factsrdquo about the Commons or Parks as they
are referred to by many residents include
Trees found in common areas include European Beach White Oak and Golden Maple plus a vari-ety of flowering shrubs Those who are interested in researching all species of trees in the Springwells Park Commons will find a great place to conduct their research projects all year long Bird watching in Springwells Park Commons The Audubon Society (now referred to simply as ldquoAudobonrdquo) has been protecting birds and the environment since 1939 More than 6000 Detroit Audu-bon members stretch from St Clair County to Ann Arbor to the Ohio State Line Springwells Park Com-mons is a great place to start your bird-watching adventures For more information contact wwwdetroitaudubonorg Passive and Active Recreation in Springwells Park Commons Among the recent uses of common areas are casual walks summertime picnics and neighborhood gatherings camp-outs and music fes-tivities sledding (an historically popular use of a portion on the commons) and the annual Easter Egg hunt The SPA Board welcomes other suggestions on ways that neighbors can promote passive and active recreation in our commons Funding the Maintenance and Improvement of the Springwells Park Commons What many neighbors may not know is that Springwells Park Association pays for insurance and taxes on these common areas A portion of your annual dues are used for this purpose In addition a ldquotree fundrdquo has been established for occasional tree trimming left when trees fall as a result of storms How can we all contribute to the upkeep of these uncommon common areas Many residents donrsquot use the common areas for passive or active recreation while others donrsquot see the need to main-tain the property that is perhaps adjacent to their own
ldquoIn truth since we are all members of Springwells Park the common areas are eve-ryonersquos responsibility Just as those of us with sidewalks in front of our homes keep them clear for the many walkers in the neighborhood throughout the long and snowy winters so must we all contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the common areasThey are a unique asset to our neighborhood and deserve our attention and care
Cynthia Polakowski President
Springwells Park Association
Page 10 May 8 2016
Uncommon Commons - continued
While some homeowners enjoy direct views to the com-mon areas others may only occasionally use them for casual walks or neighborhood events Nevertheless we should all recognize and contribute to the ongoing maintenance of this amenity Minimally we should consider how we can help by doing the following
Report tree damage to your area rep or to the Parks
Co-Chairs (see Bluebook for contact information)
Recognize the efforts of neighbors who show a
special interest in maintaining park areas by writing to
your Area Representative or to the Newsletter Editor
If you are one of the lucky residents who live adjacent to a common area know where your property
ends and common area begins and honor the common boundary by not encroaching or ldquotakingrdquo
land designated for use by all residents of Springwells Park Consider how you can contribute to
maintenance by mowing areas adjacent to your property
Donrsquot litter donrsquot dump and donrsquot expect your neighbors to maintain the parks for you
Pull fallen branches out to the street for yard waste collection on Mondays
Share this resource appropriately - encourage gatherings by SPA neighbors
Organize teams of residents (Friends of Common Area 1 for instance) to clear walks and pathways
clean up debris and take fallen branches to the curb for City pick-up
Pay your dues and consider contributing to the tree fund
Rules governing the use and maintenance of the common areas are found on pages 48-49 of
the current ldquoBluebookrdquo - our neighborhood directory
Written by Suzanne Singleton Acting Vice President Springwells Park Association

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over
and over again in very quick successions
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of

are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-

Springwells Park Association
Our Neighborhood Parks - Uncommon Commons
Some of you may already know that Springwells Park is one of a few neighborhoods in Michigan (and
the only neighborhood in Dearborn and surrounding cities) that can point to the common areas as
unique amenities But did you also know that the area represents approximately 10 acres of land des-
ignated for Springwells Park residents A few other ldquofun factsrdquo about the Commons or Parks as they
are referred to by many residents include
Trees found in common areas include European Beach White Oak and Golden Maple plus a vari-ety of flowering shrubs Those who are interested in researching all species of trees in the Springwells Park Commons will find a great place to conduct their research projects all year long Bird watching in Springwells Park Commons The Audubon Society (now referred to simply as ldquoAudobonrdquo) has been protecting birds and the environment since 1939 More than 6000 Detroit Audu-bon members stretch from St Clair County to Ann Arbor to the Ohio State Line Springwells Park Com-mons is a great place to start your bird-watching adventures For more information contact wwwdetroitaudubonorg Passive and Active Recreation in Springwells Park Commons Among the recent uses of common areas are casual walks summertime picnics and neighborhood gatherings camp-outs and music fes-tivities sledding (an historically popular use of a portion on the commons) and the annual Easter Egg hunt The SPA Board welcomes other suggestions on ways that neighbors can promote passive and active recreation in our commons Funding the Maintenance and Improvement of the Springwells Park Commons What many neighbors may not know is that Springwells Park Association pays for insurance and taxes on these common areas A portion of your annual dues are used for this purpose In addition a ldquotree fundrdquo has been established for occasional tree trimming left when trees fall as a result of storms How can we all contribute to the upkeep of these uncommon common areas Many residents donrsquot use the common areas for passive or active recreation while others donrsquot see the need to main-tain the property that is perhaps adjacent to their own
ldquoIn truth since we are all members of Springwells Park the common areas are eve-ryonersquos responsibility Just as those of us with sidewalks in front of our homes keep them clear for the many walkers in the neighborhood throughout the long and snowy winters so must we all contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the common areasThey are a unique asset to our neighborhood and deserve our attention and care
Cynthia Polakowski President
Springwells Park Association

Uncommon Commons - continued
While some homeowners enjoy direct views to the com-mon areas others may only occasionally use them for casual walks or neighborhood events Nevertheless we should all recognize and contribute to the ongoing maintenance of this amenity Minimally we should consider how we can help by doing the following
Report tree damage to your area rep or to the Parks
Co-Chairs (see Bluebook for contact information)
Recognize the efforts of neighbors who show a
special interest in maintaining park areas by writing to
your Area Representative or to the Newsletter Editor
If you are one of the lucky residents who live adjacent to a common area know where your property
ends and common area begins and honor the common boundary by not encroaching or ldquotakingrdquo
land designated for use by all residents of Springwells Park Consider how you can contribute to
maintenance by mowing areas adjacent to your property
Donrsquot litter donrsquot dump and donrsquot expect your neighbors to maintain the parks for you
Pull fallen branches out to the street for yard waste collection on Mondays
Share this resource appropriately - encourage gatherings by SPA neighbors
Organize teams of residents (Friends of Common Area 1 for instance) to clear walks and pathways
clean up debris and take fallen branches to the curb for City pick-up
Pay your dues and consider contributing to the tree fund
Rules governing the use and maintenance of the common areas are found on pages 48-49 of
the current ldquoBluebookrdquo - our neighborhood directory

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over
and over again in very quick successions
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over
and over again in very quick successions
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

In our last newsletter we explained that we were not going to print a whole list of
common suggestions on crime prevention that we already know but rather in each issue
to list only a couple lesser known crime prevention tips that you will hopefully remember
to use As always to report suspicious activity call 943 ndash 3030 For an actual emer-
gency call 911
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 1
1) Plant low trimmed thorny shrubs around your home especially in front of the win-
dows like rose or berry bushes
2) If you have a personal confrontation your elbows are your best weapons Swing them
hard to hit the face the groin or the ribs You wonrsquot hurt yourself and can use them over
and over again in very quick successions
Crime Prevention ndash Lesson 2
In previous lessons it was always stated to call 943 ndash 3030 if you see suspicious
activity If nothing else comes of it we will at least have a higher presence of patrol cars
in our neighborhood which may help to prevent a crime
1) It is generally agreed by all professionals (on both sides) that the single most effective
tool for preventing home burglaries is lighting It can be constant on a timer sound
motion activated or random Using newer high tech lights is far less expensive than it
used to be
2) Never park your car so that the driverrsquos door is adjacent to a van or a truck When you
go back to get your car if a van or truck is parked next to you go back to the store and
ask someone to accompany you to your car If that is not an option then click the emer-
gency button so your carrsquos horn is blowing or a siren is sounding Then get in your car
lock the doors and drive away

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
7 If diseased impatiens are found immediately remove infected plants and all adjacent plant
8 All impatiens delivered will be disease free

How to Attract Birds and Butterflies to Your Garden
After all the hard work is done the best part about enjoying a garden would be to watch the
animals make it their home too Having an ideal environment for critters to frequent your
space is a reward in itself as a gardener My favorite visitors are the butterflies and hum-
mingbirds although I do love the menacing ones too such as rabbits and chipmunks A word
of advice if they get into your plants sprinkle hot pepper on top of your plants regularly and
they should scoot away Any landscape can become a haven for little friends as long as your
provide three things water shelter and food
Water is essential for birds not only to drink but also to bathe in A birdbath is great for but-
terflies too They prefer fresh water so change it regularly Even better would be to have
moving water such as in a fountain or waterfall The birds will flock to your space regularly
and the sound of running water is relaxing for you as well
Birds also need shelter Mature trees and shrubs such as those in our lovely neighborhood
provide safety as well as nesting sites to raise a family Evergreen trees and shrubs includ-
ing pines firs spruces junipers cedars and yews are ideal Not only do trees and shrubs
produce seeds and nuts but they provide insects for birds to eat
Nesting boxes and birdhouses should be placed out of the reach of predators such as cats
squirrels and raccoons Some birds can nest twice a season so make sure to clean out the
houses in early spring and again in summer You can tell by the tiny feathers if the nest has
been used or is still new Donrsquot touch if it is new because the bird will abandon it if she feels
it has been tampered with Choosing different sized birdhouses (size of hole) will bring a
variety of birds to nest
Page 22 May 8 2016
Food is essential of course but I prefer not to waste money and continuously fill feeders
which also ruin my lawn because of falling seeds I use a different approach and let crea-
tures depend on themselves by providing them with natural sources of nourishment from
planting a variety of annuals perennials vines and grasses Some perennials you can
plant are Queen Annes lace black-eyed Susans asters goldenrods and milkweeds
Nectar rich plants will bring the butterflies and hummingbirds readily Choose the ones
that blossom into the sweetest of flowers such as cosmos zinnias verbena and cleome
These are easy-to-grow annuals that attract both species Butterflies are especially fond of
butterfly bush and purple coneflowers while hummingbirds love bee balm Hummingbirds
are particularly attracted to red flowers like geraniums petunias pineapple sage and im-
patiens Orioles may visit too they like to feed on many of the same plants that attract
hummingbirds such as trumpet vines honeysuckle and daylilies
As always assess your space and the light it gets before you run out and buy anything
Make a plan before you plant your specimens Provide water and shelter of course then sit
back and enjoy with a good cup of coffee Have a wonderful summer and happy planting

A Word About Impatiens for Shade As a long time favorite bedding plant impatiens have graced countless shade gardens for many years In 2012 a fungal disease called downy mildew began destroying impatiens plantings In the years following growers have avoided impatiens production to allow the disease to die off Currently impatiens are being successfully grown according to MSU Extension guidelines and stock is disease free Last year many folks successfully grew impatiens and this year they will be offered for the Springwells Park Flower Sale If you wish to once again include impatiens please read the following tips and remember you grow them at your own risk For questions about impatiens or any other flowers feel free to contact the grower at SPAodiesflowerscom
1 Avoid purchasing impatiens from big box stores Often plants are crowded sanitation is subpar and disease can be present
2 Downy mildew can overwinter in the soil If you have had recently diseased impatiens consider planting in an area that has not had impatiens for several years
3 Plant in containers using new planting mix
4 Do not water at night or when overcast
5 Plant impatiens together with other bedding plants so that if a disease occurs the whole bed is not lost
6 Downy mildew can be controlled with mancozeb be sure to read and follow label directions
