Neighborhood BBQ and Movie night
A reason to love Chesterfield Village by Melissa Wittmer
T he annual neighborhood BBQ was held on a balmy evening on June 9, 2012. Warmer than normal temperatures made the event at the
pool very popular and well-attended by neighborhood residents. Advertised in the May newsletter, the BBQ began at 6:30 p.m. Tony Hammock grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and Lorna Hammock set up the rest of the food. Neighbors brought side dishes and desserts to share-the brownies were quite popular! Jay and Lisa Jones provided music and set up for the movie at dusk. The party atmosphere led to some impromptu dances by the neighborhood kids.
At dusk, everyone set-tled down on pool chairs with blankets (and even stuffed animals for the younger viewers) to watch The Muppets pro-jected onto the silo. The picture looked great and the sound was excellent. After making several trips to the clubhouse for popcorn refills, the older kids settled down too!
This event was a great way for neighbors to meet each other and have fun. If you missed it this year, we hope you can attend next summer!

Secure your home...Suggestions from the Springfield Police Department
When you go on a trip Do you notify a neighbor? Do you arrange for neighbors or friends to pick up papers, mail, and packages, or
put out your trash? Do you leave some shades up or curtains open so that the house doesn’t look
deserted? Do you arrange to have your lawn maintained? Do you have timing devices for lamps and radios?
Others Do you plan so that you do not have to “hide” a key under the doormat or similar vicinity?
Are entry areas unobstructed by shrubbery and other décor to permit maximum visibility?
Do you close and lock your garage door at night?
Do you lock your car and take the keys out even when it is parked in your garage?
Do you have garage windows covered with curtains or blinds?
Is dusk to dawn or motion lighting installed near both front and rear exterior doors?
To keep your guard up, take a critical look at your home security every three to
four months. Do not become lax—-crime prevention is a continuous process.

CC hesterfield Village hesterfield Village is a wonderful neighbor-hood for families and pets. The neighborhood is fortunate to have sidewalks on both sides of the street in most places, making it easy to go out for an enjoyable stroll with the family pet. The CVHA covenants require that pets should not be allowed loose or unsupervised. Pets should be walked on leash. Always pick up after your pet! Other restrictions are imposed on doghouses and noisy pets. If you own a cat, please make sure that your pet is not allowed outside loose and unsupervised. Cats should not be allowed to freely roam the neighbor-hood. Some residents have expressed concern about neighborhood cats after children contracted a ring-worm infection from playing in a backyard that was frequented and used as a bathroom by several cats. If you are concerned about an animal found on your property and you do not know the owner, please contact Animal Control. Animal Control will remove the animal from the property.
Animal Control
Goals The animal control program's goals are to ensure the health and welfare of the Springfield community and its animals through the enforcement of ordinances related to animals and the promotion of responsible pet ownership. Contact Us Our information hotline can be accessed 24 hours a day. Information includes directions to the shelter, pit bull registration, and animal adoption information. Animal abuse or cruelty outside of Springfield city limits may be directed to the Greene County sheriff’s office at (417) 868-4040. If you have an animal control complaint or would like to make a report related to animals, please call (417) 833-3592 on Monday through Friday, from
8:00 am to 5:00 pm. These hours are for phone calls only. The shelter's public hours are in the col-umn at right. For after-hours emergencies, please call 9-1-1. Ordinances The Springfield-Greene County Health Department has animal control officers to enforce Chapter 18 - Animals of the City ordinance as well as county reg-ulations. Rules vary depending on where the animal lives - City, urban animal control area (UACA), or county. To find out in which area the animal resides, view the Urban Control Area Map. Please note: After Jan. 1, 2012, the health depart-ment no longer provides animal control services to areas outside Springfield city limits. Officers Animal control officers investigate complaints, recov-er lost and roaming animals, provide education and resource referrals, and work with community part-ners to promote animal welfare.

How does a Basic Security System Work?
B eing in the Security business, I get asked that ques-
tion a lot. Generally the perimeter of the building is
protected by contacts that stay together to complete
a circuit. These contacts are placed on doors and win-
dows and stay together as long as the doors or windows stay
closed. When the alarm is in the armed mode and a door or
window is opened, this separates the contacts, which triggers
the alarm. The interior is protected usually by motion or glass
break detectors. In most cases an alarm system is monitored
by a central monitoring station. They receive the signals sent
by the alarm panel. When an alarm goes off and the central
station receives the signal, they immediately begin responding
by contacting the appropriate authorities or the people on a call list that you will pro-
vide. This list is composed of people you want to be contacted in the event of an
alarm. This process happens very quickly and ensures the most prompt response to
your alarm possible. Much of what is installed today uses wireless technology that re-
duces install time without compromising quality. There are many other options to cus-
tomize a system to a user’s individual needs. If you have other questions please call
me or find any locally owned reputable alarm company that has their own central mon-
itoring station. Keep in mind not all alarm companies are created equal.

NeighborWoods Tree Planting
Phase 1 is underway!
Parts of Chesterfield Village will look a lot different next spring. Melissa Wittmer has been working with the City’s new NeighborWoods Program to identify locations throughout the neighborhood to plant trees. Phase 1 of the Chesterfield Village Project will plant trees on LaSalle Street, Leroy Court, Jewell Court, Tolliver Avenue, Westview Street, and several loca-tions on Dearborn. All trees will be planted in the city right-of-way be-tween the sidewalk and street. Along LaSalle street, the City will plant Japanese Lilac Trees, Gingko Trees, and Cherry Trees. Homeowners had to commit to watering their trees for up to 5 years to ensure their success. Homeowners were also required to sign a permit for each tree. Planting should begin in late No-vember to December. The project will help to beautify the neighborhood with diverse trees that provide both spring and fall color. The City Public Works department is also making rounds throughout the neighborhood to prune trees. This process is referred to as “low-limbing.” The trees along Chesterfield Boulevard have already been pruned and they look great!
Chesterfield Village Neighborhoods Project
Proposal
TIMETABLE We propose to plant 88 understory trees over a 3-year period with 2012 being the year for Phase 1. The trees are all located within the Chesterfield Village Neighborhood boundaries and along the median on Chesterfield Boulevard.
Phase 1: Plant 36 trees 7 Dearborn 13 LaSalle 3 Tolliver
10 Westview 1 Jewell 2 Leroy
Phase 2: Plant 32 trees 7 Winchester
2 Burge 4 Katella 5 Forest
5 Dearborn 5 Britain 4 Breech
Phase 3: Plant 20 trees
7 Cox 2 Westview
11 Chesterfield Blvd.
FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED
We would require the City to deliver and plant all trees. We require the City to provide and deliver mulch twice a year that will be applied by neighborhood volunteers. PROJECT GOALS
With the completion of this project, Chesterfield Village Neighborhood will continue to be a beauti-ful neighborhood known for its tree-lined streets. The neighborhood will have a diverse tree popu-lation of healthy trees that were carefully selected for each planting site. Currently, LaSalle Street has an entire side that has no trees. This site was selected to be planted in the first phase of the project. The addition of 88 trees to the neighborhood will help with rainwater and drainage problems and increase property values.
TREE MAINTENANCE
Chesterfield Village Neighborhood residents will agree to water and maintain all trees for a five-year period. Neighborhood covenants require neighbors to maintain lawns and landscape, so neighbors who receive a tree on their property will assume re-sponsibility for the care of the tree. Most yards have sprinkler systems, providing supplemental irrigation for trees during the sum-mer months in addition to normal watering.
