Santa Clause (Yes, the real one.) and his trolley
visited Springwells
Park on Friday December
16th. Neighbors got into
the Christmas spirit with a personnel visit with Santa (The real one.), hot
coco, Christmas music and a small gift from Santa himself (Absolutely, the
real one.) Click here
for over 100 pictures from this year or to view pictures from previous years.
Some
people asked for Santa’s name. So here
it is: Clause.
  
  
   
(above) Thanks
to Rachel, the real Santa, Joe Paolini, Siera B., Jamila A., Gloria and
Dominic Russin.

Outsiders have long wondered why residents of Springwells Park
are so attractive. The secret is
out. Dita and her staff at Strand
Theory have been keeping residents of Springwells Park
beautiful for three years now. Dita
runs a clean efficient beauty salon a short walk from most SP residents. …so now you know…
  
Also a short walk for SP residents is the new Game Time Sports
Bar. Game Time boasts new flat screen
TV’s, pool tables, friendly staff and a menu put together by a new graduate
of the Detroit Culinary Institute. Need
we say the food is outstanding?
  
Mike knows good pizza and Sareini’s provides an old fashion
atmosphere for you to enjoy it.
Sarieni’s is a short walk (or bike ride) away and you can enjoy an ice
cold Grape Crush from an old fashion bottle with outstanding pizza. Mike boasts fresh ingredients, the best
crust in town and friendly service.
(we love it there!)
 
Then there’s Mike at the Senate Coney Island…but they’ve been
feeding Springwells
Park residents
forever. There’s no better place in
town for breakfast anytime or for anything on the Senate’s huge and excellent
menu.

 Betsy's Amazing Adventure submitted by Carol Saunby
Betsy the beagle was adopted from the Dearborn Animal
Shelter last fall by Kathy and her daughter Megan on Carlton Lane. She has brought much joy
to their lives and lots of energy to our cul-de-sac.
Last March, Betsy escaped out the back door chasing
a squirrel out of sight. Kathy and Megan looked everywhere for her. At one
point they heard her barking in the distance, but they couldn’t find her.
Night came and she didn’t return.
Betsy had run into the woods and climbed the steep
embankment onto the railroad tracks. And then the Amtrack train came. Betsy
didn’t move, but miraculously the train engineer saw Betsy and was able to
stop the train before hitting her!! Betsy went to the animal shelter
for the night where Kathy found her the next day. The whole family was
happily reunited when Megan got home from school.
So the next time your Amtrack train
is late, just smile and think of Betsy!

Have you heard of In Case of Emergency (ICE)?
An article in USA Today explains this effort to encourage people to add an
entry in their cell phones with the name ICE and the number you would like to
have called by emergency responders in case you are in an accident.
Sounds like a good idea. Details: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/wireless/phones/2005-08-15-ice-cell-phone_x.htm
 Here is a 'Birds Eye View
of Springwells
Park (and part
