Leave a lasting legacy through the commemorative tree program

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Arbor Day tree planting

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.

Don't clog with the F.R.O.G.s

Fat FROG

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

For the week of MAY 22, 2023

 

 

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

 

 

“If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.”—Yogi Berra, American professional baseball player, manager, and coach

 

 

 

 

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 a 90.8% probability the rate will stay the same. Current rate is 5.00%-5.25%.

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
            vehicle, boat, trailer, camper or motor-driven cycle.  The 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 and polishing.  No boat, trailer,
            camper, truck or commercial vehicles shall be parked at any time on or in front of any lot in
            an area visible from neighboring lots or any public street, except as such parking is
            necessary to make commercial deliveries.  All such motor vehicles, boats, trailers,
            campers, or motor-driven cycles which are stored or parked on any lot or parcel and
            which are not stored or parked in completely enclosed garage or other structure may be
            stored or parked on a side lot area and screened from public 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
                                                                                        Art Jiles

   BE KIND, Please  
  
      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 call the Police

ANOTHER PROBLEM

Turtle Creek is not an AUTOMOBILE/BOAT/TRAILER Repair Center
Turtle Creek is a Quite residential Addition to the City of Broken Arrow.  While Working on the above items please considered your neighbors.

Security Systems REVIEWS

(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
