Naming Contest For New Cell Tower at Armbrust Park
The AAHA invites residents
to participate in naming the
new 105 foot cell phone tower
that will be built in our own
ArmbrustAcres Park!
Please send your suggestion
to armbrustnewsletter@
gmail.com byApril 20, 2013.
The winning name will be
announced in the May
newsletter.
A proposal to build a 105-foot
cell tower in the Armbrust
Acres neighborhood has
cleared the Omaha Planning
Board.
Board's vote, Councilman Jay
Walker, who represents the
area where the tower would
be located, issued a statement
in which he said he was
disappointed with the
decision. He noted that more
than 110 residents in the area
had signed petitions opposing
the tower, a proposal that he
said was out of character for a
“largely residential”
neighborhood.
A new cell tower will be built
at 168th and Center Street to
improve coverage for the
AT&T Wireless network. The
company said coverage in the
area is spotty, and the
increased use of smartphones
has stretched the network's
capacity thin.
On Wednesday, March 13,
2013, in a lengthy public
hearing, the Planning Board
considered the concerns of
the public, but ultimately
voted to recommend approval
of a special use permit for the

the initial request for a 150Following the Planning foot tower to 105 feet. The
proposed cell phone tower
would go up in Armbrust
Acres Park, which is a major
problem for a lot of people
who don't want a 150-foot cell
phone tower going up in their
neighborhood.
Many people brought their
concerns to the hearing. They
worry the tower could cause
cancer.
Some on the board wondered
if a different location could be
an option. By the end of the
hearing, both sides agreed to
work with each other.
Therefore, the planning
department delayed the
matter for 60 days.
If the planning department
approves the proposal, it will
go to the City Council where
another public hearing will be
held and then voted on.
As the Armbrust Acres
Homeowners Association
feels for the possible
frustration and concern this
may bring up, we would like
to assure you that we will
always try to work in your
best interest. With that being
said we would like to ask you
to sit back and relax. This is
just a badApril Fools joke.

When Saying Thank You is Not Enough
With extreme gratitude, we want to
r e c o g n i z e R a n d y L e n h o ff , J o n
Blumenthal and Bev Ellis, whose terms
have expired as members of the
Armbrust Acres Homeowners
Association Board of Directors. For the
time you volunteered to help the
Armbrust Acres Homeowners
Association, for your involvement in the
renewal of the covenants, for your
commitment to keeping Armbrust Acres
a great place to live, and for the wisdom
shared with your fellow board members;
the Board of Directors of AAHA would
like to thank you for a job well done.
Randy Lenhoff was instrumental in
raising the quality of the Operations
Committee which is responsible for the
upkeep of the neighborhood common
areas, maintenance of the park,
replanting of trees and shrubs,
maintenance of the cul-de-sac islands,
mowing and landscaping, and snow
removal. During Randy's tenure his
accomplishments included but were not
limited to new sidewalks in the viewing
area and the 168th Entrance, installation
of a sprinkler system for the 168th St
Entrance, and his tireless hours spent
walking the neighborhood to gather
covenant signatures. .
Jon Blumenthal has dedicated many
hours of his time to help the covenant
committee write the covenants,
designing proper procedures and
methods for gathering covenant
signatures, and in advising the board on
filing of the new covenants. Jon has been
instrumental in advising the board on
numerous other issues it.
Bev Ellis diligently worked to maintain
and improve the quality of our
neighborhood and exhibited a strong
determination to renew the covenants.
Bev was another board member who
used her time away from her regular
daytime job to walk the neighborhood
gathering covenant signatures and
addressing neighbors' concerns and
ideas for improving Armbrust Acres.
Bev was always quick to volunteer for
many of the Homeowners Association
projects.
Randy, Jon and Bev are proud to be
Armbrust Acres homeowners and
dedicated to keeping Armbrust Acres
one of the premier neighborhoods in
Omaha. When you see any one of these
three individuals, be sure to thank them
for their dedication and time devoted to
the neighborhood.

Build A Bat House To Fight Annoying Mosquitos

those pesky mosquitoes come back,

Here is a great idea to let nature do its
work. Build a bat house.
Why can't the bats just find a nice tree?
That is the challenge for many bat species
as forests are cleared. Ideally they would
live in a natural home but you can build a
bat house to help those who can't find
space in a forest.
If you would like instructions on building
a bat house, visit the Bat Conservation
International's website at
www.batcon.org or the website below.
Bats are interesting because in many
ecosystems, they play a key role in
pollinating plants and eating insects
which includes mosquitos! So build a
home for a bat and be safe from
mosquitos throughout the summer.
You will need to find a location with lots
of sun, at least 15 feet off the ground to
protect against predators, and a nearby
water source so the mother bat doesn't
have to leave her young for too long.
Surprisingly, bats don't always live in
caves. Most bats spend their summers in
trees, under bridges or in old buildings;

April Showers Bring May Flowers
AboutAnnuals
Annuals provide color from early
summer until frost, an advantage over
most perennial flowers, which usually
have a shorter blooming season. Certain
annuals, such as moss rose, California
poppy and alyssum, may self-seed, but
most annuals must be planted yearly.
Some perennial plants that live from year
to year in warmer climates, such as
begonias and snapdragons, are included
with annuals in Nebraska since they are
not winter-hardy and must be replanted
each year.
Annuals allow different colorful
landscape displays to be created from
year to year using a wide variety of
available plant material. The cost and
time required to replace these plants each
year, as well as the additional irrigation
and fertilization typically required for
healthy establishment and growth, are
potential disadvantages of using annual
flowers.
Annuals can be used in beds, borders,
rock gardens, window boxes, hanging
baskets and container gardens. They can
add focal color to entrances or enhance
monotonous landscapes. Annuals can be
used in newly planted perennial or shrub
beds and borders, filling the vacant
spaces with color until the permanent
plantings mature. Consider site
conditions and the preferred growing
requirements of annuals when designing
with them. Annuals are generally
incorporated into a design for their color,
but texture, form, size and mass
characteristics also contribute to the
overall effect. Evaluate the planting
site’s sun exposure, wind patterns, water
requirements, soil type and fertility, and
then choose plants that will perform well
in these conditions.
The following list of plants contains
suggestions for annuals that are grown
for their colorful flower displays. These
annuals can be directly seeded into the
garden but are usually purchased or
grown as transplants.
About Perennials
Nebraska lies in hardiness zones 4 and 5,
with winter lows from 10 to 30 below
Fahrenheit. This prairie state has plenty
of native perennial wildflowers that
grow well for a natural garden, but
gardeners can also plant shade
perennials and shrubby perennials. Plant
perennials that flower at different times
and in different colors for a well-thought
out perennial garden.
Good choices for perennials are:
Ostrich Fern - The ostrich fern
(Matteuccia struthiopteris) grows in
hardiness zones 3 to 7, suitable for all
Nebraska. It's also deer resistant. This
fern can grow up to 6 feet tall and spread
from 5 to 8 feet. Ostrich fern is the
species used for the spring vegetable
treat fiddleheads, so cooks may wish to
cultivate these. The fronds are pale
green in color with leaflets opposite
each other. Plant this perennial in full
shade.
False Indigo - Another deer-resistant
perennial, false indigo (Baptisia alba)
bears delicate white flowers that
resemble snapdragons in shape. This
plant can grow up to 4 feet tall. Bean
pods appear when the flowers fade.
While it does become dormant in the
winter, it returns each spring. False
indigo is hardy to zone 5, so it grows in
the southern half of the state. False
indigo enjoys full to part sun.
Yarrow - Yarrow (Achilea 'Moonshine')
develops bright yellow flower clusters
during the late summer and early fall.
Suitable for hardiness zones 3 to 8,
yarrow grows throughout Nebraska.
The flowers respond well to drying and
to cutting for bouquets. Yarrow grows
up to 2 feet tall and spreads up to 1 foot
wide. Plant this perennial in full sun.
Black-Eyed Susan - Black-eyed Susan
(Rudbeckia hirta) resembles a daisy,
except with dark brown centers and deep
mustard to bright yellow petals. Some
cultivars grow up to 3 feet tall, while
others remain much shorter. Black-eyed
Susan flowers respond well to cutting.
Some types of this flower are annual
while other cultivar are perennial, so
plant accordingly and choose full sun.
Varieties of this flower grow in
hardiness zones 3 to 10, so they'll grow
throughout Nebraska.

How To Protect your Garden From Hungry Critters
How can the fruits of one’s labor be
protected without losing a significant
portion to critters that go bump in the
night – all without harming an everlovin’hair or feather on their heads?
It’s not as challenging after all. Strategy
is the name of the game. By knowing
what irks and even freaks out the top
garden-thieves, you’ll be able to deflect
their advances without causing them
irreparable damage .
Rabbits gravitate toward bean plants as
well as peas and beets rather than many
of the more conventional veggies – as
can be evidenced by their penchant for
taking two bites of this, one bite of that
and then flinging their rejects in random
directions. When fences just won’t do,
many gardeners use a quirky
combination of deterrents including but
not limited to white vinegar soaked corn
cobs, fox urine soaked cotton balls, dried
blood(!) and even a liberal application of
human hair around the perimeter of one’s
garden. Chili powder dusted on or around
plants is another favored effort, as is
planting a rabbit-specific crop such as
clover since they find it far more
appealing to plow into than tomatoes,
cucumbers or corn any old day. If you
prefer a less messy and/or far less
repulsing remedy, you might enjoy
greater rabbit-free success simply by
elevating your garden in raised planting
beds and even throwing netting over the
top.
seems just a tad bit too mean, offer them
an irresistible squirrel-designated snack
such as a peanut butter-smeared corn cob
rolled in bird seed so that they’ll stay
away from your far too healthy and hohum vegetables.
Mice Think about the natural predators
of this common rodent and you’ll have an
instant ‘ah haaaa’ moment in terms of
what will keep them far away from your
glorious vegetables. They hate snakes,
cats, and foxes. So, if you want a highly
effective plan of attack, get your hands
on some recently shed kitty fur and
disperse it all around the perimeter of
your garden. Then, visit your local pet
store and kindly request that they
donate… well, there’s no neat and tidy
way of requesting snake excrement, so
just do it. Between that and the
admittedly costly $10.00 container of fox
urine that you can procure from your
local well-stocked landscaping store.
Squirrels have a one-track mind when it
comes to accessing the fruits of your
labor and will literally bend over
backwards for a free meal. Since their
nose is their greatest asset, enabling them
to locate even the most deeply buried
treats, it’s up to you to offend their
delicate olfactory sensibilities by
burning the bejeezus out of their nostrils
(at least in the short term). The best way
to do that is by laying the ground with Source: http://www.organicauthority.co

How To Discuss Prom
Safety With Your Teen
Spring is in full swing, which
means blooming flowers,
baseball season, and for many
teens—prom. It's easy for
high school students to get
swept up in the excitement of
prom, especially if they're
going the whole nine yards
with dinner reservations,
fancy outfits, corsages, and
boutonnières.
But many parents of those
teens are thinking about
different elements of prom.
From official reports to
famous movies, prom is often
associated with peer pressure
to drink alcohol, do drugs,
drive dangerously, and have
sex.
While it may be unclear if
these activities will be a part
of your teen's prom night,
simply talking with him or her
ahead of time may play a
crucial role in your teen's
safety. Parents can engage in
an effective prom safety talk
with their teens by following
these tips.
1. Initiate the conversation:
Hopefully by the time a teen is
gearing up for prom, parents
have already talked with him
or her about subjects such as
drinking and sex. A
conversation about prom
safety is an important followup.
Parents could start by noting
the excitement of prom and
how they want their kids to
have fun, then transition with
something such as: “Prom is
also a time when there's a lot
of peer pressure to do things,
like lose your virginity, or
drink, or do drugs, or stay up
all night … “
Peer pressure and pop culture
have many teens believing
that prom night and alcohol go
hand-in-hand. This is not
reality. Most proms are in fact
"dry" proms and the best
memories are made while
sober. Afterall, who wants to
spend prom night hanging over
a toilet or slepping it off in a
corner? Want to guarantee the
best prom memories possible?
Play it smart and stay straight.
It is very easy for both girls and
guys to get caught up in the
romantic whirlwind of prom
and think that sex would be an
amazing addition to the
evening. This is just not
realistic. The pressure to have
sex on prom night is great but
nothing will ruin your prom
memories faster than a hasty
sexual encounter. Prom night
romance and sex are not a
package deal - prom is more
than a three letter word.
Tell your teen “I want you to
have a great time, I want you to
have fun, and I want you to be
safe."
We discourages parents from
trying to squeeze this
conversation into a busy promday schedule. Parents and
teens should discuss prom
safety a few days in advance,
she says, with possibly a small
reminder on the day of the
PAGE 9
VOLUME 2, ISSUE 10
dance.
2. Make a safety plan:
Parents and teens should
discuss what to do in various
situations that may arise.
Consider scenarios such as
someone bringing alcohol to
the dance, or a friend driving
dangerously, perhaps while
drinking or texting. Teens
who are prepared for these
situations will be better able
to handle them if they
happen..
Teens must know that they
can and should call parents if
they're in an unsafe situation,
and the parents should be
ready to answer the call.
Sometimes parents and teens
set up a little code call, in
which a teen doesn't have to
say 'come get me—my ride is
drinking,'. Teens can call
parents and say a simple,
agreed-upon phrase that will
cue parents to pick them up.
Parents should also set a clear
curfew for the teen and
establish times when he or she
should call home to check in.
3 . Wa t c h t h e t o n e :
Throughout the talk, It can
help when parents give a lot
of credit to their teen, so it's
not a conversation where
you're talking down to them."
We suggest parents begin
with “I know you know these
things already, but I think it's
a good idea to review them."
It can be tough to find a
balanced approach. Parents
shouldn't lecture or scare
teens with gloom-and-doom
possibilities, but they also
shouldn't be too "friendly"
with teens by letting them call
the shots on their special
night.
As prom season approaches,
high schoolers throughout the
country will don tuxes or
bejeweled dresses for this
classic rite of passage. But
those fancy outfits and the
flowers that accompany them
don't come cheap. In fact,
Visa's 2011 Prom Spending
Survey found that families
spent an average of $807 on
prom costs, including attire,
flowers, transportation, and
tickets.
While prom is exciting it is
really just a big party with
fancy clothes. It won't be
much different than any other
party you attend throughout
the year. Don't expect prom
to be the beginning of a grand
love affair - great
expectations always end up
deflated.
