A wild new resident: A red fox has been spotted with her young family in common area 5 in Springwells Park.  The red fox is a protected species and cannot be trapped.  They generally do not pose a threat to pets or people.  Here is a excerpt from Wikipedia:  Red Foxes are largely carnivorous. The majority of their diet consists of invertebrates, such as insects, mollusks, earthworms and crayfish. They do also eat some plant material, especially blackberries, apples, plums and other fruit. Common vertebrate prey includes rodents (such as mice and voles), rabbits, birds, eggs, amphibians, small reptiles and fish.

Kim and Steve Beane believe they have the record for the fastest decision to move to Springwells Park.  Three years ago Steve saw an FSBO sign near Dearborn Credit Union.  He drove by the house on Amherst Lane then went and picked up Kim.  They toured the house and settled the deal a few minutes later over coffee at the Senate.  Some people just know when they've found a great thing....
