When full, set it out 3 feet from your other rubbish on your regular rubbish day before 7 a.m. or after 5 p.m. the evening before. Your bin must be removed from the curb by midnight on your collection day. Reminder: City issued recycling bins are the property of the City. If you move, you must leave the orange bin with the house. New bins are available for $10 each (delivered to your house) or $8 each if you pick them up at the DPW office, 2951 Greenfield. Recycling is mandatory in Dearborn. Place only the following clean items in the recycling bin: • • • • • • • • • Cardboard Boxes (cut to fit bin), cereal boxes, pop can cases (NO PIZZA BOXES). Office Paper - bundle with string or place in brown paper bag to prevent from blowing around. Household Batteries (NO CAR BATTERIES) placed in small clear plastic bag. Newspaper and everything that comes with the newspaper must be bundled with string or placed in brown bag to prevent from blowing around. Plastic (1 through 7 on bottom) discard lids. Glass Bottles/Jars (clear, brown and green) discard lids. Phone Books/Magazines/Catalogs - bundled with string. Aluminum & Tin Cans. Empty Aerosol Cans - discard lids. We do not recycle: drinking glasses, anti-freeze or oil containers, and lighter fluid containers. If an item is left in your bin, it is probably because it is not recyclable. For more information or a new bin call 943.2085. Keep grass cut to six inches or less, fix any problems with the outside of your house (from The Back Fence—A Dearborn Community Newsletter/Spring 2010) Spring is right around the corner, which means that it’s the perfect time for homeowners to get outside and get their properties spruced up once again. First on the list is lawn maintenance. City officials agree that cutting grass should be a number one priority. Residents must cut their grass so it’s six inches or less. That length must be maintained for the rest of the spring, summer and fall. Failure to keep grass cut to six inches or less can result in tickets or fines. If the City must cut grass and weeds, the property owner will be billed for the actual cost of the cutting, plus an administrative fee of $75 each time. Other property maintenance guidelines to keep in mind: • • • • • • • • • Trash cans must be stored in the garage or behind the house, out of sight from the street. Do not store furniture of other household items outside. Check the condition of the paint, wood or siding on your house. Porches, steps and railings must be in good repair. Wash the siding, paint and trim on your house. Replace broken bricks and mortar joints. Check the roof and repair any missing or broken shingles. Garage doors must be operable and painted. Prune or trim overgrown shrubs and trees. All properties must have groundcover, such as grass or landscaping. If residents have any questions about property maintenance issues, or if they need to report a neighborhood problem, they can contact Neighborhood Services at (313) 942-2161.

Page 10 May 5, 2010 New Look for Bennington Park The basketball court in Bennington Park has been removed and grass seeds have been sown. There had been complaints from neighbors who live adjacent to the park about people cutting through their yards to get to the basketball court and also about after hour use. If anyone is seen in the park after park hours, the police should be called immediately at 943-2241. Oriole Sighting in SPA By Judy Shepard If you are a Baltimore Oriole fan (the bird not the baseball team), now is the time to fill up your feeders and enjoy the show! We’ve had our feeder up and have been “singing” their song for the last couple of weeks . April 30th we were rewarded with sighting of the first male of the season. The male orioles have a brilliant orange body with a black head and wings. The female is much duller in color, but still beautiful. They enjoy the same food as hummingbirds and there are special oriole feeders that allow them to land to drink. The sweet mixture is easy to make. Just add 1 part sugar to 4 parts boiling water. I add a bit more sugar in the beginning of the season. They also like orange slices, caterpillars, insects and spiders. Their songs can be as simple as a single note or as complicated as a symphony. Last year, we hung a feeder from the gutter in our sunroom and enjoyed both the hummingbirds and orioles close-up. Page 11 May 5, 2010 Satellite Dishes in SPA Did you know? • Dearborn is 24.5 square miles • The population is estimated at 99,089 • The median age is 35.8 • The average family size is 3.6 • The number of households is 35,589 • The housing value range is $50,000 to $1 million plus • The Home Ownership rate is 74.8% • The median family income is $58,897 We need your help to ensure Springwells Park Association remains a beautiful place to live! Our goal is to keep satellite dishes out of sight. Please consult with Rick Simms, Deed Restriction Chairperson at 313-240-6632 before having your dish installed. Dishes should not be visible from the street unless you live in a corner house. We would like dishes currently visible from the street to be relocated so as to preserve the charm of our community. Thanks for your consideration on this matter!

Article 29.00 of Dearborn’s Zoning Ordinance deals with this, but is a bit complicated, so my husband called the city to find out about what it really means for SPA residents. • • • • • • • All cement work requires a permit. Pavers or other stone walkways require a Certificate of Compliance. Concrete flatwork or pavers may not exceed forty percent (40%) of the front yard. The remainder of the front yard shall be grass area(s) and shall be planted with sod and/or grass seed. The maximum coverage of all flatwork (i.e., cement, pavers, flagstone, etc.) is 25% of the lot size. Well-maintained ornamental flowerbeds are permitted as long as they are organized and aesthetically in harmony with the neighborhood. A front yard that consist of seventy-five percent (75%) or more of unorganized wildflowers and/or freely growing/overgrown perennial flowers is prohibited. Any planting except for grass in the public easement between the sidewalk and the street curb requires a permit from the director of public works in accordance with Section 17-250 of the Dearborn City Code. It was noted that the most common reason why a permit for concrete or a compliance certificate for pavers is rejected was because of lot coverage. The maximum coverage of all flatwork is 25% of the lot size. If your lot size is 35’ x 120’, you have a total footage of 4200 square feet. 25% of 4200 square feet is 1050 square feet of total flatwork that is allowed.

Page 15 May 5, 2010 In the Homestretch Now In just a few short weeks students will embark upon summer vacation. For older students who will become seniors, or those who will move on to postsecondary institutions, this can be a time of stress and anxiety. It can be made easier with preparation and good organizational skills. It is important for students to be diligent with their studies during these last few days. In order to finish with high academic standing and have an easy transition into the next year, students should stay focused “with their eyes on the prize.” Special attention to end of the year cumulative reviews should be made. Teachers will give hints and direction as to what to expect for large assignments, essays and final exams. Students should keep their ears open and catch these cues. They should also be organized. Keeping notes and binders tidy, and their study area clean and free of clutter is desirable. Avoiding distractions and having a quiet place to work is best. Students should make a schedule and map out the times that they will commit to studying and working on assignments so that they are not overwhelmed with too much at once. Most students have busy social lives and work afterschool as well. Priority to schoolwork is first and all else comes second in these last few weeks. Lastly, remind them to take breaks and have rest periods of relaxation, especially if they are tired or struggling with something. Have them do the things they love and then go back to working. Sometimes one will see the answer to a problem when they come back refreshed. Following these simple guidelines will help relieve the stress and anxiety students experience as they prepare to enter the next stage of their young adult lives. The final grade will be their reward for staying focused and achieving their goals in the homestretch. Good luck to all Springwells students and enjoy your summer vacation.

Consumer’s Korner By Jim Shepard One day I was trying to get advertisers for the SPA newsletter and went into 7-ELEVEN to see if they were interested in buying advertising space in our newsletter or Blue Book. Their first ad goes back to about the year 2000 and I think I came along soon afterward. Penny and Jim have been with us for quite some time. The store that has what you want when you want it, that’s 7-ELEVEN. I see Jim every so often and there was the time last year I had been in to bug him about a new ad. I had left him my name and number and pricing schedule for the ads. One of our neighbors had been there for something later in the day and dropped her wallet. Our good buddy Jim found the wallet and checked for ID. He was thinking she had to be from around here, but what to do? He said Jim the advertising guy was just here, I will give him a call. The call was made and wallet returned!! A good business and good people in a great neighborhood. It doesn’t get any better! Thanks Jim and Penny Next time you’re by, say hi!!! Page 17 Did you know?
