Be sure to thank Jini Morris and helpers who made this year’s festivities so successful. This column touches on several issues that directly affect home values in our neighborhood. Please phone your thoughts on any issue to me or any Board member, or you can e-mail us, or use the form on the website. I-235 Construction issues: ODOT met informally with the community to answer our questions on Monday evening, August 8th. The website has updated information since the meeting occurred after the deadline for this column. Andy Ontko informs us that the water mains project will begin… later! Yes, it’s postponed again for two more years ‘til September ‘07. The Sipango has been recommended by the Planning Commission for approval of their ABC-2 PUD (allowing alcohol sales with beer). Similarly, The Cock-O’-the-Walk application for an ABC-3 overlay PUD (alcohol and food) was recommended. The City Council will likely consider these issues in September. The new restaurant at 42nd & Western has filed an application with the Board of Adjustment to waive the parking requirement to be able to use the outdoors patio to serve food and alcohol. We are actively represented on these zoning issues by members of the new Western Avenue Ad hoc Committee. It was formed in June to establish a consistent position on parking and other concerns related to businesses near our neighborhood. A new Traffic Committee was formed also and is beginning to look for ways to “calm” traffic in our neighborhood. This just in: The local Belle Isle Wal-Mart has just made a $550 Beautification Grant to us to help build the new Gateway at 36th & Walker.

Bob Alfson 2005 Good Neighbor Award Each year the board of directors recognizes a person(s) who have given significant service to the neighborhood. Suzanne and Bruce Bockus (a local architect) have contributed to several large projects, including the historical markers (completed in 2002) and the new gateway marker, now in progress (see related story). Suzanne is in her second term as a board member and is serving as hospitality chairman. The Bockus’ generously volunteer their home for neighborhood events, including the 2001 Home Tour. This traveling plaque was awarded to Bob Alfson last year and is engraved gratis by Larry Rowell of R&R Estate Jewelers. Thank you, Suzanne & Bruce for all you do! 3 Gardens cont. from Pg. 1 make this garden a retreat for mind and spirit. “In the morning, the light is soft, and it becomes an ideal place for a cup of coffee and a newspaper,” says Cindy. Roy & Dr. Aline Brown Designed by owner This Certified Oklahoma Wildscape garden, full of plants adaptive to this area, provides birds and other wild creatures a protected habitat. 4 Since Aline likes weeping trees, there are several species of those, including pussy willow, tolson juniper and crabapple. Roy’s favorite part of the garden is the 6,000 gallon koi pond - the first thing he built when they moved in eight years ago. He loves the seclusion afforded by the Edgemere Heights neighborhood. Bruce & Suzanne Bockus Designed by owner The front gardens are very colorful: purple tones from the ‘Schubert’ (Canada Red) chokecherry, the blues of ‘Montgomery’ spruce and atlas cedar, the deep burgundy of Japanese red maple and the brilliant sparkle of ‘Gold Mound’ spirea. However, the biggest treat is in the back - a mighty chinquapin oak that predates Oklahoma’s statehood and several terraced areas leading down to the wooded creek that flows into the Deep Fork. Garden Descriptions by Tour Committee Member Jackie Progue. 5 Westminster School Completes Lower School Activity Center & 5th Grade Loft Last August, middle school students started their school year in a new building complete with a rock-climbing wall, a state-of-theart media center, and much needed elbow room. This August, younger students will be treated to new facilities: a 25,000 square-foot building which includes a gym, an auditorium, music and art rooms, a computer lab, a modern language lab, and 3 fifth grade classrooms. Lower School grades 1 through 5 will use the new space. The Lower School Activity Center, designed by ADG (Architectural Design Group) and constructed by Smith & Pickel, was completed a couple of months ahead of schedule. The middle school and lower 6 school buildings were funded by a $12 million capital campaign. Classes at Westminster School begin August 24 with an enrollment of 525, a slight increase over last year. Neighbors, alumni, and parents are invited to tour the new building during an open house on Sunday, August 21, from 4 to 6 pm. Pay your Homeowner’s Association dues!!

Guy Stultz, BPS Security Every year there are millions of Americans victimized by burglaries. It is a crime that produces fear into homeowners and renters alike. There is also a psychological effect that all victims have to endure. Like the loss of items that have a sentimental value. This creates anger towards the effectiveness and efficiency of the local police and neighborhood security patrols. Very seldom is there violence in a burglary. Most burglars like to strike when no one is home. They will walk, drive or ride a bike through neighborhoods making mental notes of possible targets of opportunity. They check the risk factors such as “security alarm” and “Beware of dog” signs and escape routes. Most burglaries happen in the day time. When the burglar checks a neighborhood, they look for morning newspapers that sit in the yard all day. They might even stop and knock on you door to see if anyone is home. Should someone answer the door, the burglar will simply ask for a fictitious person, or might ask for some work they can do. Leaving a morning paper in the yard all day is like putting a sign up telling the burglar that you are not home and to come in and help themselves. Cancel your morning paper and pick one up on your way home at the end of the day. A 50 cent paper is not worth a houseful of valuables. Police and security officers need information to work from. Input from neighborhood residents is essential. Report any suspicious activity or anyone that looks suspicious and does not belong in the area. Call security or police and describe the person, what they are doing, and the direction they are going. In the next newsletter, I will describe several types of burglars and what they are after. From the common juvenile burglar to home invasions. Future stories will tell you how to protect your home, your vehicle, your identity, and much more. 8 Residential SERVICE CALLS SERVICE UPGRADES REMODELS POOLS/SPAS OUTSIDE LIGHTING “Get rid of those unsightly overhead lines!” HEILIGER ELECTRIC CORP.

Gateway Marker Update After a brief delay of the brick from the supplier, the new Gateway marker at the corner of 36th and Walker is showing some progress. The past several weeks have been spent building the forms for the cast stone caps and selecting their color. The pineapples have been selected. Sharon Reeves and Linda Resnick met with an advisor from the Oklahoma City Community Foundation regarding landscaping plands for the entire Gateway Park. The landscaping will be a long-range project with plantings anticipated in both the fall of 2005 and the spring of 2006. The board will apply for a grant from the Margaret Annis Boys Trust to partially fund the plantings. The existing large trees and shrubs will be preserved.

Our volunteers are over-worked and un-paid, and they appreciate those who pay without additional prompting. We have had a fairly quiet summer so far. Please remember to continue locking vehicles in the drive and on the street, and to call Security for a vacation check and newspaper pick-up when you go out of town. Piled-up papers on the lawn, or a laptop or purse on the car seat are open invitations for trouble. Take a moment to plan ahead and be safe. If you are new to the neighborhood and would like to learn more about the security association, please call Mary Ann Grade, membership coordinator. She’ll fill you in on the details and benefits. Remember that life is uncertain, so just to be safe, eat dessert first. Have a wonderful August!

For Advertising please contact Usha Rao, July 4th Celebrated on July 9th The deluge in the early hours of July 4th created a lake at the picnic site in the park. There would be no dry place for tables, cookers, or blankets. The inflatable children’s toys couldn’t be set-up. Therefore, the difficult decision was made to postpone the festivities until the next Saturday, July 9th. Many neighbors who had altered their travel plans to participate were upset. Other neighbors who were out of town on the 4th were delighted to celebrate on the 9th. The dedicated neighbors who lined the Shartel Median (see photo) were treated to a witty commentary by EH resident John Swinford. His remarks included a clarification as to the exact signing of the Declaration of Independence (not July 4th!) and humorous remarks to accompany the procession of floats, cars, bikes, and strollers. General Category: 1st Place: Where were you in 1985? (42nd St) 2nd Place: Heart of 39th (between Walker & Shartel) 3rd Place: All children who participate Grand Marshall of the parade was Cynthia Armstrong, former resident and friend of the neighborhood who still coordinates the pet contest every year.

Marinell did an outstanding job of creating and managing this service in our neighborhood. Kudos to Marinell for this valuable service. Keith and I can be r finding owners of lost pets or finding lost owners of residential pets. Ha.! There are only about 50 pets listed in the spreadsheet that Marinell created. Come on folks, I know there are a lot more than 50 pets in our neighborhood. If you care about your pet, please go to the following websites: Website: http://www.geocities. com/cheh_hoa/ Dogs: http://www.geocities. com/cheh_hoa/emailformdog.htm It is easy to go to the website and complete the information. This information will then be sent to us. A new innovation that we plan on adding to the service is taking a picture of the lost pet and posting it on the Crown Heights/Edgement Heights webpage. We hope this helps our neighbors in finding a lost Keith and I have three little dogs, 2 Jack Russells (Gus and Jesse) and 1 Rat Terrier (Jethro Tall). We found Jethro one late cold wet October night in front of our house on 39th street. After looking for his owner for 6 months, we adopted this very sweet boy.

Goodbye to Draper’s & Abraham’s Western Cafe by Rurie Dobson Need a quick cup of sugar, but no neighbors are home? Forgot a couple of things when you made the weekly grocery shopping trek? Don’t want to patronize a behemoth? Your choices have become a little bit more limited since Draper’s grocery store at 50th and Shartel closed Saturday, July 16th, its square footage purchased by CVS for a pending expansion. Located in Shartel Plaza, the cozy neighborhood grocery store had anchored the center as long as anyone can remember. Arcadia residents Tom and Gayle Draper operated it from 1994 to its closing. Before that it was Plett’s, and prior to that it was Kimberling’s. Shartel Plaza itself was built in 1954 and has had its share of management changes over the years. According to Bill Mee, co-owner of Shartel Associates LLC and the management company PRO Realty (which bought the property in March, 2004), updates had been needed to the grocery store, but neither the Drapers nor Associated Wholesale Grocers wanted to make the investment. He also mentioned that the sale of the property was made in the context of looking at the big picture, in terms of improving the whole area and bringing the shopping center “into the 21st century”. CVS had acquired the drugstore next door with its recent buy out of Eckerd, which had bought Hyde drugstore in the late 1990s. They closed the deal on the Draper’s purchase June 30 for $1,425,000. The drugstore expansion will be done in phases – so there’ll be no disruption of pharmacy service – with construction to begin first as the Draper’s space is razed in early August and rebuilt. Operations will then be moved to the new area while the phase 2 demolition and reconstruction of the current space takes place. The new 14 24-hour store will have more groceries, sundries, dry goods (no produce), a one-hour photo, and a drive-thru pharmacy. All work is scheduled for completion by March 2006. The Draper family operates another location at NW 63rd and McArthur, but for now, anyone wanting to shop at a locally owned grocery store within a reasonable driving distance will have to choose between heading north to Crescent Market in Nichols Hills Plaza or west to Homeland at 39th and Pennsylvania. Oh, and just in case you’re wondering, Paul is on a vacation with his cousin and will looking for a new job after he gets back. The same weekend, our neighborhood lost another locally owned small business. On July 15, Abraham’s Western Café served their last onion burgers to faithful customers, some of whom waited for over an hour. Abraham and Barbara Essaili, who have operated the burger joint for 21 years, said the old building needed a lot of work, but it was an investment they could not afford. When Chesapeake approached them to buy the property, they sold it for $375,000. Chesapeake has no immediate plans to move employees to the site. Abraham said he is considering opening a location somewhere downtown. Meanwhile, the nearest place for an onion burger is Buddy’s, at NW 50th & Meridian. OKLAHOMA CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE AND GUIDELINES AWNINGS Window awnings were a practical accessory in Crown Heights during the 1930-1940s era before air conditioning. The typical awing had curved wooden slats on the top with straight, vertical wooden slat sides over a wooden frame. Awnings made from canvas over a metal frame were also used. They usually were installed on windows on the West and South sides of the home. If your home has these original historic awnings, they must be preserved and must not be removed. In the 1950s a similar slatted awning was available which was made from aluminum. This type awning is not historic in Crown Heights and may be removed. Awnings have become a popular exterior decorating accessory. If a homeowner wishes to install modern window awnings which will be visible from a public street or sidewalk (front and side elevations plus back elevation where the home is on a corner), a Certificate of Appropriateness must be obtained from the Historic Preservation Commission. The Application normally can be approved administratively by the Commission Staff without being submitted to the full Commission. Window awnings must be placed so as to avoid obscuring architectural details. Each awning should cover only one window. They must be made of canvas or other fabric material on a metal frame and may be fixed or retractable. The color should be compatible with and complementary to the coloring of the exterior walls and trim on the home. Plastic or metal awnings will not be approved. The awning should be made in the “drop front”, skirted style except where the window has an arched top. In this case a “half barrel” type may be used. The modern bubble design is not appropriate. As always, please remember that almost any modification of or addition to the exterior of a structure within an historic preservation district like Crown Heights requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission.
