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.
The SP Fox
takes a break for a scratch!

we've seen an increase in door-to-door
solicitors. No need to be rude about this but kindly
explain to these persons
that it is illegal to solicit or hand out flyers in Dearborn.

post.

Spring cleanup
isn't optional. The City of Dearborn has high standards

SPA Music Fest revealed the harmony among
us. This time it was Cathy and Ron Prowse who stole the show.
It turns out Ron has played keyboard in several top 40 bands and
was even asked to play piano for the Pope. Featured performers included: Thomas
Short, Cooper O'Reilly, Natlie N., The Keelan Quad, Cathy and
Ron Prowse, and a lively chorus of neighbors. A special
nod to six year old Cooper who played four verses of "This Old
Man" on the keyboard. Thanks to all who supported
this wonderful event. The next
music fest is will be in the spring. Check back here for
details. Click Here to sign up your act
for the next Music Fest.
          
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....
