Our quarterly meeting that was set for May 4 th at the Betty Warmack Library has been postponed until May 26th at 7pm. If you are interested in running for any office please come.
We need everyone to do their part by volunteering their time to the association.
The annual garage sale seemed to go well for our residents. The city has been getting a lot of
complaints in the past years from our garage sale about people blocking driveways and the
stopped traffic on Carrier. The construction did not help the situation this year. We tried
something new this year with the parking signs directing people to the area beside the YMCA
to park. We did have some people go down to the lot and park and walk to the garage sales.
Most of the people did what they have done in the past. The city code enforcement was going to monitor the situation and get back with us. If we do nothing about the complaints, the
city could decide not to issue our annual garage sale permits. WAHO and code enforcement
will be working on these issues again for next year.
We are seeing a lot yards that are not being mowed since winter. Spring is here and the dormant grasses are now growing. These people need to get back into the mowing routine
again. If you see homes that are in violation, please report them on our website. Westchester
is 841 acres, and our HOA is 550 acres with 2300 homes. We need every one’s help monitoring our community. Our violation chairperson does a wonderful job, but she cannot do it
all. All of our time is voluntary. If everyone would keep an eye on their street and report
any violations, we could easily cover the entire community keeping Westchester beautiful.
I want to thank all our new members for supporting their community by joining WAHO. We
need to keep Westchester beautiful, viable and strong.

Breakfast Recipe for Mother's Day
One way to make Mom feel like a million on Mother's Day is by having Dad rouse the kids and whisk
them to the kitchen to prepare breakfast in bed for her!
Make Mother's Day special for Mom by serving her breakfast in bed
One Week Before:
 Come up with the menu and make a grocery list.
 Have the kids make a card or draw a picture for Mom. (If desired, pick up an inexpensive photo frame for the
drawing.)
Look at home for a breakfast tray or pick one up from the store. You don't have to use a tray with legs...any tray
(even a plastic one for outdoor entertaining) will do.
Two Days Before:
 Stop at the grocery store for any needed items.
Put marbles in a drinking glass. Surround with a ponytail holder and crayons if desired. Hide the glass from Mom!
Mother's Day Morning:
 Get up early with the kids and let Mom sleep in!
 Have older kids add water and fresh-cut flowers from your yard to the marble-filled drinking glass; set on the
breakfast tray along with the kid-crafted greeting card or framed drawing.
 Make Fruit Smoothies or pour Mom a cup of coffee, orange juice or her favorite morning beverage.
Serve Mom breakfast in bed!

Spring Has Sprung
How-to Guide
Marshmallow Flower Petals
With kitchen scissors, cut pastel marshmallows in half. Dip each cut
side in colored sugar. Arrange marshmallow petals on cupcakes,
forming flowers.
Cookie Pop
When making the Cupcake Cookie Pops, place lollipop sticks 2 in. apart on foil-lined baking sheets. Place
cutout cookie dough on each; press down gently.
Decorate Cookies with Royal Icing
Using a pastry bag and plain Royal Icing, outline each cookie; let dry. Tint remaining icing with colors of
your choice. Working one cookie at a time, fill in the center with tinted icing; spread to the edges of the
outline with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining cookies. Let dry completely.
Cutouts with Candy Centers
Place cutout cookie dough on foil-lined baking sheets. Cut out and remove centers of each. Carefully fill
the centers with crushed hard candy.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas...
While a hand-drawn card will be treasured, these easy crafts add polish to homemade gifts.
Video playlist
The gifts that Mom cherishes most are the ones hand-crafted by her own kids. When you present Mom
with a mouth-watering breakfast in bed or a lovely lunch at the kitchen table, have the kids make their
mark with a one-of-a-kind tray or table topper.
Make a card
Instead of buying a greeting card, enlist the little ones to make a card at home. Or have them draw a pretty
picture and place it in a frame. (Inexpensive canvas or paper-covered photo frames are available at craft
stores.)
Fresh flower arrangement
Fresh-picked daisies bring a touch of spring inside ... and a kid-crafted vase is the perfect way to display
the bright bouquet!
While you start making the meal, have the kids hunt down some of their marbles and place them in a regular drinking glass. Tuck daisy stems into the marbles, and then fill with water.
For an even more colorful arrangement, place a decorative ponytail holder around the marble-filled glass.
Slide crayons between the glass and holder until the entire glass is covered.

Spring Yard Maintenance Tips - Spring Cleaning
First the bad news: if you neglect spring lawn care you could end up paying for it the rest of the year. Now the good
news: spring lawn care doesn't entail nearly the amount of work that you'll have to invest in mowing alone throughout
the summer months.
In fact, most of you will need to implement only about half of the following ten tips for spring lawn care, depending
upon your own unique circumstances. Furthermore, I point out in a few instances below that the task in question is better performed as part of your fall lawn care, if you can wait that long.
Spring Lawn Care Tip #1: Raking
Raking will be your first task of spring lawn care. Okay, I can hear the groans coming from all lands near and far,
wherever grassy carpets are cultivated: "But we already raked leaves in the fall!" Sorry, but raking is for more than just
removing leaves: it's for controlling thatch, too. A thatch build-up of more than 1/2 inch is considered excessive.
Thatch is the reason why I recommend that, when you rake leaves in the fall, you make the effort to rake deeply. Don't
just skim the surface, so as to remove the leaves. A deep raking will remove thatch, too, allowing you to kill two birds
with one stone. Even if you followed this advice in fall, I still recommend a spring raking: it will remove grass blades
that died over the winter -- dead blades that are just waiting to become thatch!
But there's often another good reason for a spring raking. As you survey your lawn in spring, see if there are any matted patches, in which the grass blades are all stuck together. This can be caused by a disease known as "snow mold."
New grass may have difficulty penetrating these matted patches. But a light raking will be sufficient to solve this problem.
Just when you should perform any of these spring lawn care tasks will depend upon the climate of your own region.
But Mother Nature provides palpable cues in some cases. For instance, when you're pretty sure the snow season (if you
have one) is over in your region, begin raking. Applying preemergent herbicides (see Tip #6) should be done sometime
between the time the local forsythia bushes stop blooming and the time the local lilac bushes begin blooming.
Spring Lawn Care Tip #2: Check for Compaction
If your lawn is subjected to high levels of traffic year after year, it may eventually start to show signs of decline. In
such cases, your lawn is probably suffering from compaction. For instance, the presence of moss plants signals compaction (among other things).
Our next quarterly
meeting is May
26th at 7pm.
Page 7
Yard Tip of the Month (cont)...
Lawn aeration is the remedy for compaction. The good news is that lawn aerators can be rented at your local rental
center. The bad news is that the experts recommend postponing lawn aeration until fall. But if, during your "spring
lawn checkup," you become aware of compaction, at least you can plan on setting aside some time in the fall to take
care of it.
Spring Lawn Care Tip #3: Liming
Besides compaction, the presence of moss plants also signals acidity. But grass likes a neutral soil pH. You can solve
this problem by liming your soil. But don't expect a quick fix: the effects of liming are slow to take place.
But first send a soil sample to your local county extension to determine the extent of your soil's acidity. The county
extension will also be able to advise you on how much lime per square foot you'll need. Apply the lime using a lawn
spreader.
But if your lawn has been doing fine and shows no signs of suffering from acidity, don't apply lime. Liming is only a
corrective measure, not a preventive measure. A soil that is too alkaline will also cause your lawn problems, so too
much lime is as bad as not enough.
Spring Lawn Care Tip #4: Over-seeding
Is your lawn riddled with bare patches due to dog spots, heavy traffic or neglect? If so, you may need to apply grass
seed to fill in those bare patches. This solution is known as "over seeding lawns." Apply a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer when you over-seed. Five weeks after the grass germinates, apply a quick-release nitrogen fertilizer.
However, spring isn't the very best time for over-seeding lawns. Fall is the preferred time, when the new grass won't
have to compete with crabgrass, which is killed off by autumn frosts. So postpone over seeding until fall, unless your
situation is dire.
Spring Lawn Care Tip #5: Fertilizing
Lawns can be fertilized organically by using compost and mulching mowers. But for those who prefer chemical fertilizers, Scotts provides a lawn fertilizing schedule. Many experts, however, recommend a lighter feeding in spring
and a heavier one in late fall for cool-season grasses. Too much fertilizer in spring can lead to disease and weed
problems. And if you have, indeed, already fertilized in late fall, your lawn is still "digesting" that fertilizer in spring.
In addition to the above tasks of spring lawn care, don't forget weed control and making sure your mower is ready
for the mowing season.
For those who prefer weed-free lawns, spring grass care is as much about weed prevention as it is about fostering
healthy lawn growth. Novices to spring grass care are often surprised to learn that not all lawn weeds are battled in
the same manner. Depending upon whether a weed is an annual or a perennial, you will use a pre-emergent herbicide
or a post-emergent herbicide against it.
Page 8
Yard Tip of the Month (cont)...
Spring Grass Care Tip #6: Applying Pre-emergent Herbicides
If you know that you have a problem with the annual weed, crabgrass, then fertilization in spring should go hand in
hand with the application of pre=emergent herbicides. As their name suggests, pre-emergent herbicides address weed
control not "after the fact," but before their seedlings can even emerge. Pre-emergent herbicides accomplish this by
forming something of a "shield" that inhibits seed germination.
Crabgrass begins its assault on lawns in spring, when its seeds germinate. In fact, my suggestion on Page 1 that overseeding be carried out in autumn, rather than spring, is based in part on the threat posed by a spring crabgrass invasion.
"So why not just begin by killing the crabgrass first with a pre-emergent herbicide?" perhaps you ask. Well, the trouble
is that most pre-emergent herbicides work against not only weed seeds, but grass seeds, as well!
You can appreciate the dilemma here. Over-seeding is incompatible with the application of most pre-emergent herbicides. Yet, faced with competition from crabgrass in spring, you may find it difficult to establish your new grass. So
while it's still possible to over-seed in spring, it's simply easier to do so in fall. There will be no competition from crabgrass then, because the fall frosts kill off crabgrass.
If you must over-seed in the spring, look for a product called, "Tupersan." Unlike other pre-emergent herbicides, Tupersan will not damage germinating lawn grass seed. But if you're committed to staying away from chemicals altogether in your spring grass care, postpone over-seeding till fall.
Spring Grass Care Tip #7: Applying Post-emergent Herbicides -- Or Pulling Weeds
Keep an eye out for the emergence of the perennial weed, dandelion during the spring season, unless you find the presence of their cheerful yellow flowers in your lawn desirable. At the very least, you'll want to snap off their flower
stems before they produce seed. If you're more ambitious, you can dig them out by the roots. Spraying dandelion
weeds with post-emergent herbicides is more effective in fall than in spring. If you do choose to spray, select an herbicide for broadleaf weeds.
If you prefer weed control without chemicals and have consistently practiced organic landscaping, you can harvest
these "weeds" as dandelion greens and eat them!

Crime Watch Tip...
This article was sent in by Ben Grimes. This was a story on Fox news, a great crime
watch tip.
THE RECENT TRAGEDY OF A YOUNG WOMAN BEING KIDNAPPED AND EVENTUALLY
KILLED; AFTER SHE HAD REPEATEDLY GIVEN THE KIDNAPPER A WRONG PIN TO HER
ATM CARD . IF SHE KNEW THE METHOD BELOW, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. I
THINK IT IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO LET EVERYONE KNOW. HERE YOU GO.
IF YOU SHOULD EVER BE FORCED BY A ROBBER TO WITHDRAW MONEY FROM AN
ATM MACHINE, YOU CAN NOTIFY THE POLICE BY ENTERING YOUR PIN # IN REVERSE.
FOR EXAMPLE IF YOUR PIN NUMBER IS 1234 THEN YOU WOULD PUT IN 4321. THE ATM
RECOGNIZES THAT YOUR PIN NUMBER IS BACKWARDS FROM THE ATM CARD YOU
PLACED IN THE MACHINE. THE MACHINE WILL STILL GIVE YOU THE MONEY
YOU REQUESTED, BUT UNKNOWN TO THE ROBBER; THE POLICE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY DISPATCHED TO HELP YOU.
THIS INFORMATION WAS RECENTLY BROADCASTED ON FOX TV AND IT STATES THAT
IT IS SELDOM USED BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IT EXISTS.
PLEASE PASS THIS CRIME WATCH TIP ALONG!!!

Welcome to the Digital Health Dept...
The Environmental Quality Division conducts inspections of all food service establishments in the city. These inspections are unannounced and performed at regular intervals throughout the year based on risk levels. For example
a low risk level facility, such as a grocery store, is inspected once a year. A high risk level facility, such as a nursing
home cafeteria, is inspected 3 times a year. Most food services, like fast food restaurants, are inspected twice a year.
Each food facility is inspected and scored on a demerit/point system based on the type of violation the inspector witnesses. The fewer the violations, the lower the demerit accumulation, zero is a perfect score. There are 28 items on
the Inspection Form from which demerits are given. Some items, such as not keeping food at the right temperatures,
have higher demerits. The final score provides a total of the demerits.
The deficiencies are classified as either critical or non-critical.
Critical Violations - Violations that present a potential or immediate health hazard. These violations directly involve
food hazards, such as contamination, or temperature violations. Whenever possible, critical violations found during
the inspection are to be corrected immediately. Examples of critical violations include temperature abuse of food,
improper cooking, cooling, refrigeration or reheating temperatures. Other critical violations are improper handwashing, using bare hands on "ready to eat" food, and poor hygienic practices. Such problems can create environments
that cause bacteria to grow and thrive, which put the consumers at risk for food-borne illness.
Non-Critical Violations - Violations that present minimal health risk. These items are not directly related to the cause
of food-borne illnesses, but if left uncorrected, could impede the safe operation of the restaurant. Non-Critical violations, if left uncorrected, could lead to critical violations. Examples of non-critical violations include a lack of facility cleanliness and maintenance (floors, walls and ceilings). Non-critical violations do not warrant a demerit, however, the violation must be corrected within a reasonable amount of time.
A food establishment fails if it receives more than 31 demerits. At that time, the Environmental Quality Division will
close down the establishment. To re-open, a follow up inspection is required to ensure compliance with minimum
food safety standards, and the establishment will be allowed to continue doing business only after all deficiencies
have been corrected. However, a food establishment's original score will remain on this webpage until the next routine Health Inspection is performed.
