From the Architectural Review Committee

With spring finally here, we all have plans to do a project to refresh or improve our property. Don’tforget the mailbox. Winter has been hard on a number of the mailboxes in Oakhurst. Thesnowplow, snow, and wind have caused many to lean. Make sure your mailbox is upright and in

good condition. Remember, it is the first thing people see when driving by your home. It represents yourproperty. Well-kept mailboxes improve the aesthetic look of the neighborhood.

If you plan to make some changes to your Oakhurst home like exterior painting, adding a fence, replacingyour driveway, changing your garage door style, or replacing your windows with a different style, you first needto consult the Oakhurst Rules & Regulations and Architectural Guidelines. These documents provide rules andrequirements for making changes to your property. They also provide guidance on how to obtain approvalprior to making them.

The Architectural Guidelines provide specific information on changes that require approval and ones thatdo not. Make sure Modification Requests include all the required information as stated in the Guidelines andon the request forms. Doing so will aid the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) in completing the reviewand approval process in a timely manner. Most Modification Requests areprocessed using email or phone communication to clarify details and providequick approval. Be sure to print your phone number and email address on therequest form clearly so it will be legible after the form is faxed. ModificationForms are available on the Oakhurst website listed below. Do not use the BaumProperty Management company forms located on their website. They do notcontain the required information for Oakhurst.

If you have a hardcopy of the Architectural Guidelines or Rules &Regulations, they are most likely outdated, as they have been revised. Youshould access the latest revision on the Oakhurst website or you canobtain a copy from the Property Manager. Remember, the ArchitecturalGuidelines have been put in place to protect your property values.

If someone new moves into the neighborhood near you, ask if theyare familiar with the modification rules and Architectural Guidelines. Ifnot, point them to the Oakhurst website atwww.oakhurstcommunity.org or the Property Manager. If you see aneighbor making a change to their property, ask if they submitted aModification Form requesting approval. If not, let them know that theyneed to submit the appropriate form in accordance with the regulationsand guidelines or they may face a fine.

Keep in mind there is a minimum fine of $100 for modifying yourproperty without the appropriate approvals.

As the neighborhood matures and the economy continues tochange, maintaining the aesthetic quality of Oakhurst becomes moreessential to ensure the highest possible property values. Keep theexterior look of your home in good condition. Siding and trim oftenneed refreshing and landscaping can easily become overgrown.Everyone should have a vested interest to ensure that all propertiespositively affect the value of homes in Oakhurst. If you see propertythat is not up to your standard, quickly report it to the PropertyManager so that corrective actions can be taken.

“Keep scanning the fields on bothsides for deer,” she told him as usual.“They’re all over and take off across theroads without warning.”

Our daughter Alison Lee and herfiancé Shawn were in her new Mazdawith him at the wheel. It was Des Moinesin November. He should spin his headaround like an antsy owl.

Suddenly a flying deer smashedagainst their windshield. Glass shatteredthrough the car, showering Alison.Shawn punched the brakes as they sworeand cold-sweated together. Thehalf-grown deer was dead inthe road; two adult deerappeared and nuzzled theyounger one. It could havebeen an only deer.

As Shawn started the car,Alison dialed the Mazda dealeron her phone to ask for aloaner.

That afternoon theysnagged a Ford Explorer loaner.

The Mazda was repaired,and a month went by withoutmore crippling confusion untilAlison was walking her beagle“Penny.” She stopped by herparked Mazda and started it sothe car would be warm on herway to work.

“When I got out and shutmy door, I heard a crash andthought it was a sheet of icefalling off the car,” she said.“During the walk I wonderedhow shutting the door of a coldcar could cause ice to fall off the roof. Iwent around to the back of the car andsaw the rear window shattered andfallen out. O. M. G.”

It was as grim as it gets until drivingher second loaner car: a Subaru whichshe hated. Unlike the commercial, “love”didn’t make her Subaru.

“I’d researched cars online before Ibought, and my Mazda had the highestrating for performance and safety. Ididn’t think they made Subarusanymore,” she told me. “This loaner wasa deathtrap on wheels. And it was aLimited Edition -- top of the line!”

Alison’s co-worker drove a FordFocus. She struck a deer several weeksafter Alison’s killer ride. The bumperwas damaged and replaced. This gal’shusband is a backwoods type and tookadvantage of the free meat and roastedthe venison. He also mounted thesmashed bumper to a wall in theirgarage and got the deer’s head stuck onthe bumper, redneck-style.

“She told the story, droning on andon,” Alison reported, “but I was donewith the conversation when Honey Boo

Boo got to the road-kill part. I didn’twant to know how the head was hungon the bumper. My IQ level had gonedown a couple notches from justlistening till then. I knew I’d better getback to work and refresh my brain cells.”

The Des Moines suburb whereAlison lives and works is halcyon, withareas that welcome wildlife, especiallydeer that fly sleigh-less. Car bumpers aredeer magnets.

Our daughter has joined the Deer ofthe Month Club at work. Every employeewhose vehicle is struck by a deer isautomatically registered. There’s another

t-shirt.The mad-cow disease infestation in

deer that we heard about a few yearsback must have let up -- at least in Iowa.Even the thought of culling the growingherds is illegal. They do know “wherehave all the flowers gone.” ‘Gone towhitetails every one.

In a west Chicago suburb adjoiningours, there’s a lady who encourages thedeer to pose in her yard. She serves a“mineral block” ordered online. Theygather expectantly for her chopped

apples, too. Their progeny hasnot yet inundated our suburb,giving us endeering stories.

Alison was planning tocause a hullabaloo on the road,blaring her car stereo with thewindows down. At least she’dgive the animals a head’s up, fordriving out loud.

“But I was lying on the hornand the deer must be deaf; theydon’t even look up. They justkeep moseyin’ across the road.Sometimes a family of fourambles across and the cars onboth sides are stopped.” She sentme a cell photo of a deer next tothe street waiting for friends -- orto suddenly hitch a ride on thehood.

“I have to calculate thespeed of my car and the speed ofthe oncoming deer. Just lastweek I thought I saw somethingout of the corner of my eye andslowed down. Sure enough, a

deer dashed in front of my car.”Our 15-year-old grandson Ryan is

not looking forward to learning to drive($340 at his high school) as he faces theprospect of deer run-ins.

Our daughter wonders if herinsurance will always pay out. “What ifthey tell me, ‘Three deer incidents andthen we’re done’? I need Xanax just toget to work.”

So Alison and Shawn now have theirnecks on swivels. Their restless eyes arealways searching for the reckless eyes ofdeer in the headlights or antlers in thedusk.

Fifteen years of Ann's monthly true tales are now in a book titled, A CHEAP SEXY CAR & More Serious Humor. Entertainment for everyone, it is 450pages and $20 hand-delivered -- or $25 if mailed. For a copy, please email her at [email protected] or call 630 820-9896.

Big Changes to Road Construction Sites in AprilIf you weren’t able to make it to the Road Construction Open

House in March, here is a brief look at what’s up for road constructionin our area this Spring: • New York Street begins construction the end of March with paving ofthe lanes on the south side to begin about April 8th, weatherpermitting. We can expect to shift to the new lanes about mid-May.One lane open in each direction. This project completes the fall of thisyear.• Ogden Ave. Railroad Overpass bypass road construction begins inApril with overpass construction following. One lane open in eachdirection. This project completes in 2016.• Rt. 59 construction continues with the building of the divergingdiamond at the tollway interchange. New lane configurations are to beexpected. This project completes the end of this year.• The city has been alerted to reconstruction of the railroad crossingsat both Ogden Ave. and Montgomery Road this year, but no timetableis available. The city of Aurora engineers are actively lobbying forreduced construction times and to make certain they don’t occur at thesame time. They would prefer during the Summer when there isreduced traffic, no school busses. Both crossings are in very bad shape.• Indian Trail bridge over the Fox River closed for reconstruction. Thiswill be complete later this year.• New York Street and Galena Blvd. from Smith Blvd. to Lincoln will beopen with reduced lanes during sewer separation work followed bymaking them both two way traffic. Work to be completed late summer.

Paramount TheaterLes Miserables is running through April 26th. After the opening

weekend, Dean Richards of WGN called it “The must see show of theseason.” Incredible sets and superior live orchestra and singing fromthe star cast.

The new Broadway Series of locally produced shows for 2015-2016 has been announced:

• Oklahoma! 9/16/2015 - 10/18/2015• The Christmas Story 11/25/2015 - 12/27/2015• Hairspray 1/20/2016 - 2/21/2016• West Side Story 3/16/2016 - 4/17/2016

A more complete education program to help withthe selection and how the program works will be available by then bothon the City’s web site and www.myWard 8.com. Full rollout will takeup to 90 days starting July 1st. We can expect to receive our carts nearthe end of Summer based on the preliminary schedule I saw today.More as this rolls out.

Garden This Spring

Spring is on its way (we hope) and with it, freshgreen growth from the garden. We’ve compiled afew helpful tips and reminders to get you started

or back into the swing of things. We know how longwinter can seem so take time now for a little refreshercourse.

What is the difference between annuals, perennials,

shrubs and trees?

Annuals - These plants grow only one year and willnot survive our winters. They can produce lots of flowersand depending on the type, may require regular fertilizing.

Perennials - These plants come back each year, butmay die back to the ground over the winter. Usually,perennials have a shorter season of bloom. When you’repicking out plants try toplant a variety of perennialsthat bloom at different timesto give you a rich displaythroughout the season.

Shrubs - These are plantswith a woody stem thatcome back year after yearand are generally not cutdown to the ground. Someshrubs stay small and somecan grow to the size of smalltrees. Usually, shrubs haveseveral stems at the base.They also have a singleseason of blossom.

Trees - These are singleor multi-stemmed woodyplants that are quite largeand live a long time. Treescan grow anywhere fromabout ten feet high to morethan seventy! Trees can haveflowers and some have fruit.

How much sun do I have?

Spend some timeobserving your yard to seehow much light each area

gets. This is important to know in order to make sure youare placing plants in the right spot. When shopping atyour local garden center, each plant should have a tag thatwill tell you what kind of light the plant prefers.

Full Sun - This means six hours or more of sunanytime during the day, usually found on the south andwest sides of buildings unless shaded by structures ortrees

Part Shade - Lightly filtered sun or three to five hoursof morning and/or late afternoon sun, usually found onthe east side of buildings and under the light shade oftrees

Full Shade - Less than three hours of sun anytimeduring the day, usually found on the north side of homes,between buildings or under trees with heavy shade.

When do I plant?

Each plant has its own requirements, so read the tagand ask garden center staff for advice. April is a great timeto plant trees, shrubs, most perennials as well as coolseason annuals and vegetables while soil is nice and moist.Plus, you have many months for roots to get established.

Some annuals andvegetables, especiallytomatoes, prefer warm soilto grow, so wait until mid-May to plant them. You canplant all summer long, aslong as you water carefully.Fall planting can also beideal as warm soil and coolair are perfect for rootgrowth.

What about my soil?

Before you get theshovel out, check themoisture of your soil.Squeeze a handful of soil. Ifit clumps into a solid massit is too wet. If it crumbles,it’s ready to be worked.When you dig in wet soil, itcan compact so that the airand water spaces aresqueezed out. This meansroots struggle to grow. Ifyou have heavy clay soil,you may want to mix incompost to loosen the soiland add micronutrients.

You know the signs thatpop up every springthroughout the

neighborhood displaying the nameand graduation year of theresident senior in that house? Didyou know that the PTA isresponsible for every one of thosesigns?

In order to help pay for itemssuch as these, as well as manyother programs the PTA helpssupport, the Waubonsie ValleyPTA held their annual fundraisingevent on Friday, March 6th at theWhite Eagle Golf Club. The themewas March Madness. It was anevening filled with a lot of musicand food, as well as an incredible number of itemson offer for auction.

Thanks to the hard work of the chairs, CaraGenzer, Teri Storin, Cindy Krug and co-presidentsJanine McDonough and Jill York, the auction was asuccessful event. Over 120 people were inattendance and they were able to raise over $20,000.There was a silent auction, which this year offeredonline bidding so you could view and bid on itemsprior to the event as well as a selfie photo booth andan interactive brackets board which was a big hit.

Their goal of having auction items of interest toeveryone wasfulfilled, withitems of alltypes rangingfrom Chicagosportsmemorabiliato Disneyhopper passesand KaneCountyCougartickets. Therewere basketsdonated fromvariousdepartmentsof the schoolwhich

included tickets to Prism, the spring musical andWaubonsie sports camps in the summer. Lunchwith Mr. Stipp was a very popular item as was aWaubonsie quilt which was handmade by Mrs.Thanepohn from donated shirts from theWaubonsie Valley Pep Club and Boosters. Thesetwo items alone brought in over $1,200. Billy Whitewas the effervescent emcee and kept things livelythroughout the evening.

The monies raised go to a lot of other programsas well, such as $5,000 in senior scholarships andstaff grants for classroom equipment, to buildingimprovement projects and Waubonsie’s staffappreciation lunch. Recently, the PTA purchased anelectric violin and handheld recorders for the musicdepartment and laptops for the College and CareerCenter. They are also involved in helping variousevents throughout the year like One Book OneSchool and Senior Sailabration.

We’re very lucky to have such an involved PTAthat provides all the above mentioned things for ourstudents. The fact that our kids have access to somany varied events and programs is due in largepart to the fact that the PTA is taking such a pro-active role in seeing to it that these things areavailable. Being involved in organizations likethese is paramount to our school continuing to besuccessful, so the communities’ participation is anecessity. And, what better way to get involvedthen spend a night with friends at an event likethis?
