Leave a
lasting legacy through the commemorative tree program
It's Arbor Week
in Broken Arrow— a time to recognize the benefits trees provide
residents and future generations!
Broken Arrow is a 23-year Tree City USA member and has achieved National
Certification from the Arbor Day Foundation and recognition from the
Oklahoma Forestry Service and the Oklahoma Community Forest Council.
Residents who want to leave a legacy beyond Arbor Week can participate
in the City's Commemorative
Tree Program. It's a way for family, friends,
businesses, churches, and civic organizations to donate trees for
planting in one of the City's 41 parks covering 800 acres of public
land.
Donors may request the park and type of tree, such as shade, flowering,
or evergreen. The kind of tree/shrub selected will be from a list of
Oklahoma hardy species, including Lacebark Elm, Redbud, Crepe Myrtle,
Oregon or Bosnian Pine, Chinese Pistache, Shumard Oak, Water Oak, Bald
Cypress, American Holly, Trident Maple, and Shantung Maple.
The donor will receive their tree location information, and a donor's
plaque will be placed next to the tree. A commemorative tree donation is
$225, with additional trees ordered at the same time available for $200
each. The City's Parks Department will plant and maintain the tree for
three years.
The City will plant Commemorative Trees ordered between Jan. 1 and June
30 in the fall and those ordered between July 1 and Dec. 31 in the
spring. For more information, go to Commemorative
Tree Program.

4-13-2023
Don't clog with the
F.R.O.G.s
With the holiday
weekend approaching,
you don’t want your
kitchen sink to
croak, so don’t put
your F.R.O.G.s down
the drain.
That’s right,
F.R.O.G.s (fats,
rags, oil, and
grease) are
notorious
obstructionists in
sewer lines and
wastewater pump
stations.
When these culprits
clog the sewer
lines, wastewater
finds the path of
least resistance. It
can blow back into
your sink or
bathtub, creating
unsanitary
conditions in your
home and costing you
thousands of dollars
to clean up.
When rags, also
known as “flushable
wipes,” fats, oil,
and grease enter the
system through a
kitchen sink or
toilet, they are
trouble for the
sewer system.
These wipes wrap
around the intricate
parts of the City’s
pump stations,
causing them to shut
down. City employees
remove enormous
amounts of wipes by
hand every week to
get the system up
and running again.
Sewer obstructions,
such as these, clog
the pump stations
that carry
wastewater to the
City’s wastewater
treatment plant.
When wastewater
comes out of a pump
station or a
manhole, it gets
into our rivers,
streams, and ponds
and can lead to
illnesses for people
and animals and harm
plant life. Please
keep fats, rags,
oil, and grease (F.R.O.G.)
out of the sewer
system.
When in doubt, throw
it out in the trash,
do not flush it down
the sink or toilet.
Here are other
non-flushable,
non-drainable items
to avoid putting
down your sewer
system:
Click this link to
see what to NOT
flush down the
Toilet
yes! it is a
safe link!!
-
ts. Dairy
products such as
milk, cheese,
butter, and used
oil or grease.
Grease
solidifies when
it gets cold and
will adhere to
pipes.
-
Cotton Swabs do
not dissolve.
They clump
together and
cause blockages
in the system.
-
Paper towels. These
are also
clogging
culprits. They
do not dissolve
and will clog
your pipes.
-
Dental Floss. Acts
as a net
catching other
objects and
debris in the
flow.
-
Tissues. Though
they are
similar, toilet
paper and
tissues are not
the same.
Tissues do not
dissolve in
water.
-
Face masks,
feminine
products, and
condoms.
These items will
not flush and
will cause drain
and sewer system
blockages.
So please don't clog
with the F.R.O.G
(fats, rags, oil,
and grease). Keep
them out of the
sewer system to
prevent harm to your
home, the sewer
system, and the
environment by
throwing them away
in the garbage.

Good Morning Turtle Creek Homeowners
Below is an email that I received from a
concerned homeowner that was signed and sent. I am blocking the
name of that person for his/her privacy.
It is an important issue as my answer will indicate.
Good Morning XXXXX,
I'm Very sorry you feel uncomfortable about paying your dues and your
concern(s) over what is being done here.
I will also see if anyone in the addition would
like to host the meeting. A 2 week notice will be given to a date, time
and place for the meeting and elections.
Volunteers are always welcomed but hard to find. About the only home
we have in the addition that can accommodate about 20 to 30 members is
1400 South Chestnut Avenue.
I will also see if any of the libraries are available or perhaps Peters
Elementary school lunchroom for times and dates.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Also, if you
would like to volunteer to plant flowers and/or maintain either the
Louisville or the Oakridge entrance
it would be greatly appreciated. It is that time of the year and really
needs to be done, and done right away.
I have arranged with the city of Broken Arrow to make repairs and/or
replace many of the panels on West Knoxville Street,
West Louisville Street, and about the 1100 through the 1200 block of south
Chestnut Avenue.
The money, according to my sources, has now been set aside to
complete this project.
Why these streets were skipped is not understood but at least now they
are back on the schedule.
We had to have the Louisville and Oakridge Entrances sprinkler system
repaired, and in some cases replaced. (cost $900.00), Still need a timer
on Louisville though.
The mower has started on the areas along South Aspen Avenue and West
Houston and should begin a weekly schedule about mid-April at a cost of
$150.00 each mow.
All water, electric bills are paid monthly. Any other maintenance
projects are paid for as required when funds are available.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. There is the enforcement of Dead
vehicles, RV's, Boats, yard parking, car and/or other items parked along
the street and never moved.
I get the calls for these and take proper action to keep these at a bare
minimum but still they pop up and must be addressed, wrecked
autos and such that instead of being repaired are simply towed home and
parked in the driveway or on the street.
If this is not addressed immediately, it quickly gets out of hand and we
have dead autos, boats and RV's throughout Turtle Creek.
The Turtle Creek web site is located at
www.turtlecreekba.com has plenty of information about Turtle Creek
as well as the City of Broken Arrow and other items.
I maintain this site and it is updated almost daily with new
information as well as providing a list of the homeowners. We had to
stop providing a newsletter mainly due
to the cost and time involved. Also, we stopped mailing the dues
invoice, they are now hand delivered, due to the cost of postage,
now at sixty cents per statement, not counting time and efforts to
prepare, fold and stuff and seal the envelopes.
The only invoices that are mailed now are those that own a home here but
live elsewhere.
Please watch the entrances for notice of a HOA Meeting Date, time, and
place.
That notice will also be posted on the web site. It will appear at
least 2 weeks prior to the date.
I hope you will share this email with your "neighbors" so that they too
will see
a small part of what is taking place here in Turtle Creek.
Thank you for your attention and time.

Hello art, I just got our hoa dues. But we just
want to say for ourselves and all of our neighbors, we don’t feel
comfortable paying our dues until we start having our hoa meeting,
and having elections for who are our officers that are holding our
neighborhood accountable for everything that goes on here.
Please let us know and our neighborhood when our hoa meeting is and our
elections.
We have to have our meeting well before the payment is due to make
everyone feel more comfortable. Thank you!

AIR-PURIFYING HOUSE PLANTS
The following article on the most colorful and best-smelling house
plants is reprinted from www.houselogic.com, an
informational website sponsored by the National Association of Realtors.
Most air-purifying house plants put out their own sweet smell while
removing the nasty ones that make your nose curl.
But just to clarify, while NASA confirms these plants do
tackle toxins, they are not a cure-all for our home here on earth.
They will remove some toxins, but since our homes are not airtight
(unlike NASA’s place abodes),
they can’t remove everything because the air is constantly changing.
But don’t let that put you off. These air-purifying plants can make
a difference in your home with their sweet scents. Here are a few to get
you started
·
Jasmine has a sweet odor that can calm you
·
Lavender is great at making you sleepy
·
Rosemary can help you focus and work smarter
·
Sharry Baby Orchid smells like chocolate. Delicious!
·
Mother-in-law Tongue turns carbon monoxide into oxygen
·
Devils Ivy (pothos) can cleanse air of toxic fumes
·
Mums tack on of the toughest toxins: cigarette smoke
·
Peace
Lily can reduce annoying, new odors from upholstery and carpet

NATIONAL MARKET UPDATE |
|
|
|
Housing Starts
rose in April for both single-family and multi-unit
projects.
Starts are still down from a year ago, but building
has hardly stopped, with
the number of homes under construction near its
highest level since 1970.
With so many projects in the pipeline,
builders are busy, so it was no surprise to see
permits for new projects slip a tad in April.
The NAHB builder sentiment index
rose for the fifth straight month to its highest
level since last July.
Sales of
existing homes
slowed in April,
thanks to a less than 3 months’ supply of homes for
sale, versus the 5 months of a normal market. But
good news for buyers came with the median price now
down 1.7% from a year ago. |
|
|
|
REVIEW OF LAST WEEK |
|
|
|
MIXED SIGNALS BUT STOCKS RISE... News about
the debt ceiling deal in Washington was up and down,
with economic data to match, yet
the up sentiment prevailed and all three stock
indexes ended ahead for the week.
Traders got a weaker-than-expected Leading Economic
Index and Existing Home Sales data.
Retail Sales were up 0.4% in April, but basically flat after
adjusting for inflation, indicating
weakening consumer demand.
Yet April Housing Starts gained and
manufacturing output bounced back.
That data, along with
lower-than-expected weekly Jobless Claims,
suggest the Fed might be able to engineer a
soft-landing for the economy after all.
The week ended with the Dow UP 0.4%, to 33,427; the
S&P 500 UP 1.6%, to 4,192, and the Nasdaq UP 3.0%,
to 12,658.
Money going to stocks sent bond prices down, the
30-Year UMBS 5.5% off 0.61, to $100.00.
Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey showed
the national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate
edged up a tad. Remember, mortgage rates can be
extremely volatile, so check with your mortgage
professional for up-to-the-minute information.
DID YOU KNOW… Good news for
first-time buyers.
Zonda, a building consultancy, predicts:
“Buyers should expect that over the next 12 to 24
months there will be a notable increase in the
number of entry-level homes available.” |
|
|
|
THIS WEEK'S FORECAST |
|
|
|
NEW AND PENDING HOME SALES, GDP, INFLATION...
April
New Home Sales are expected to slip
a bit, the same as April's
Pending Home Sales index of signed
contracts on existing homes. The
GDP-Second Estimate for Q1
should show economic growth just barely positive.
The
PCE Prices read is predicted
to report inflation still growing on a monthly
basis. |
|
|
|
FEDERAL RESERVE WATCH |
|
|
|
Forecasting Federal Reserve policy changes in coming
months. The
futures market expects the Fed won’t do any more
hiking, but won’t start cutting rates until
November. Note:
In the lower chart, a 9.2% probability of change is

Hi Art,
We're excited as we
approach May, which
marks National
Electrical Safety
Month. It is easy to
take electricity for
granted, so this is
a great time to
reexamine how to
keep you and your
family aware and
safe from electrical
dangers. To help,
we're highlighting a
few of our most
popular resources
for enhancing
electrical safety in
your home. We also
focus on electrical
appliance safety and
share product
recalls to be
mindful of, along
with a recent and
topical Ting save
from a faulty
appliance.
New this month, we
introduce you to two
Ting Fire Safety
Team members. These
experts in
electrical fire
safety also serve as
customer stewards
when Ting detects
arcing in a home. Of
course, we hope you
never have to hear
from our Fire Safety
Team, but if you do,
take comfort in
knowing you’re in
the best of hands.
Enjoy the nice
weather and stay
safe!

Recent Recalls |
|
|
|
BISSELL® Cordless
Multi-Surface Wet
Dry Vacuums |
|
On April 6, Bissel
expanded its recall
of the
Cordless
Multi-Surface Wet
Dry Vacuum.
The circuit board
inside the vacuum’s
battery pack can
overheat and smoke,
posing a fire
hazard. |
|
42-volt Jetson Rogue
self-balancing
scooters/hoverboards |
|
On March 30, Jetson
Electric Bikes
recalled its
self-balancing
scooter/hoverboard
because its
lithium-ion battery
packs pose a fire
risk. |
|
|
|
A note about battery
fires: The two
recalls above are
related to device
battery packs. While
the fire risks from
batteries are
related to
electricity, they
are considered a
chemical fire since
overheating
chemicals in the
battery cause
ignition. Ting
scientists and
engineers are
hopeful that Ting
could possibly
detect chemical
failures in advance
of a fire in the
future. Ting can’t
yet prevent all
electrical fires,
but our dedicated
and smart team of
experts are always
working to make Ting
even better than it
is today. Rest
assured that new
Ting hardware will
not be required.
Your Ting learns
continuously. |

TING STORIES |
|
Sharing the Saves |
|
Many times each day,
Ting identifies fire
hazards with in-home
wiring, from
devices, and from
electrical utility
grid power issues
that can produce
hazardous
conditions. |
|
|
|
|
|
“The wall was
black…” |
|
I was called at 8:30
in the morning by
the Ting Fire Safety
Team as there was a
hazard detected. My
husband had just
plugged in the
heater and turned it
on. We found the
wall by the plug was
black! I was
instructed to turn
off the power to
that part of the
house and called our
electrician. After a
new outlet was
installed, the Ting
Fire Safety Team
asked the
electrician to power
something in the
socket and they
confirmed the arcing
signals were
resolved. My
electrician said he
would look into
getting a Ting in
his house -- he
thought it was a
great service!

“My favorite
part about
working at
Whisker Labs is
knowing that I
am truly making

fact is an
absolute
highlight of my
day and why I

“I
love
the

What happens when Ting detects an electrical fire hazard? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are super
passionate about
helping protect our
customers. Ting
is statistically
proven to prevent
~78% of electrical
fires, however, Ting
alone cannot
eliminate 100% of
electrical fire
risks. Your eyes,
ears, and nose can
help identify
emerging potential
hazards. Flickering
lights, intermittent
lights or devices,
frequently tripping
breakers, or
electrical odors
can also indicate
that an electrical
hazard is developing.
Contact the Ting
Fire Safety team if
you suspect an
electrical hazard in
your home. |
|
|
|
|
How likely are you
to recommend Ting to
a family member,
friend, or
neighbor? Let us
know through this
quick survey. |

Auto Thefts on the rise
Broken Arrow Police Department is seeing an increase in auto thefts this year. This is not involving vehicle burglaries, but actual thefts of a vehicle.
Since January, officers have investigated 174 stolen vehicles, the majority of which are trucks. Of those stolen trucks, officers are investigating more thefts of American made trucks than foreign made trucks. Plus, trucks built before 2018 are being stolen more than trucks built after 2018.
The attached graphs show which trucks have been stolen the most this year in Broken Arrow and what years a majority of the stolen vehicles were built. Many of the stolen vehicles are unlocked with the keys left inside.
Please LOCK your cars at night, park them in well-lit areas, submit doorbell videos or security camera footage of thefts to the police department when available, and call the non-emergency phone number when necessary. That number is (918)-259-8400.
If your neighborhood would like to have Broken Arrow Police Department speak at an upcoming neighborhood meeting about crime prevention, please email CrimePrevention@BrokenArrowOK.Gov.
 
New Orleans and Elm intersection enforcement
Broken Arrow Police Department recently conducted a directed enforcement operation at the intersection of New Orleans and Elm based on complaints from citizens and officers recognizing the need for focused enforcement. In just over 4 hours, officers made 47 stops and issued 54 citations.
All of the violations were observed within the construction zone. Primarily the violations were speeding, left turn violations, and running the red light. Manpower for the operation was funded through a grant from the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office.
Please pay attention to the signs posted at this intersection and drive safe while the construction on the intersection continues.

Please
If you have a boat, an RV, a DEAD Auto or Truck, or a trailer
parked in your driveway
Please remove it and do any of the below
remove them from the driveway and park them "Behind the
Fence" on an
all weather surface (not grass, not gravel) completely out of sight.
or move them to a self storage business.
below is the paragraph referred to in the Covenants
of Turtle Creek
J. Automobiles, Boats
and Trailers. Except as expressly hereinafter provided, no
lot or
parcel shall be used as a parking, display or accommodation
area for any type of motor

purpose of parking, display or
accommodation area is to store or to perform any activity
thereon such as, but not
limited to maintenance, repair, rebuilding, dismantling,
repainting, servicing of any kind,
or storage, except as hereinafter provided. Such storage or
activities may be performed
within completely enclosed garages or other structures
located on the lot which screen
the sight and sound of the activities from the street and
from adjoining property in such
a manner so as to have the storage or activity out of the
public view. The foregoing
restriction shall not be deemed to prevent the washing or
polishing of such motor of such
motor vehicles, boats, trailers, campers, or motor-driven
cycles, together with those
activities normally incident or necessary to such washing

camper, truck or commercial vehicles shall be parked at any

view by a fence and located
on a concrete surface; provided however, in no event shall
such storage or parking be
beyond the front building line of the said lot or parcel.

NOTE:
This should not even be a point to raise
It is just common sense, these Covenants were voted on
and
Approved by a huge majority of 87% of the homeowners here in
Turtle Creek in 2000.
The City of Broken Arrow
adopted just about the same language in their city code.
It is up to us to keep Turtle Creek and Broken Arrow beautiful.
A boat, a trailer, a dead car or truck, an RV has
a special place, but it is not the driveway or the side yard or
backyard of your home here in Turtle Creek.
If you don't agree with these Covenants, please consider moving
to another area
that is more acceptable to your type of life style.
Without Regrets

If you have pets and they are barking most of
the time and YOU can hear them, so can your neighbors.
So, in the spirit of Kindness, PLEASE do
everything possible to limit their barking before your neighbors

(updated 10-15-2018)
Personal Note
After a recent
break-in here in Turtle Creek, especially just 2 doors north of me, I
purchased a 4 Camera, 1080P, Modem, wireless System. The
views are extremely sharp, clear and in color. You can access the system via
your Smart Phone, You are notified every time there is motion detected
by
the Camera(s). You can subscribe to their services or simply
monitor the activity through your phone, lap top, desk top or iPad or
other devices.
I purchased the
system at Best Buy for about $775.00 and paid $125.00 to have someone
install and show me how it works. (well worth it the first time around)
They work on their own Battery System and they are rechargeable BUT I
strong suggest that you have the System hard wired (plug into electric
outlets)
This avoids trips up the ladder to take down and recharge the Battery.
I did buy an extra Battery just to have it ready when the ONLY one that
I have
on a battery dies, this takes about 3 months depending on the amount of
activity the camera senses. The more it sees, the faster the
battery dies. Those over the
garage pickup motion south bound, north bound and in the driveway. The
other is located towards the backyard where is watching the side garage
door.
I like it and would
recommend it strongly. It is NOT the answer to prevent but rather
to catch those that are up to no good or to just see who pulled up into
the driveway.
Next time you walk by the house, look way up over the garage.
You are being watched and you just tripped the motion
detector
