JUNEbull2012

IN THIS ISSUE

S ummer officially begins June

20th and the Forest Heights

Homeowners Association is

looking forward to the longer drier

days ahead so that we begin work

on the long awaited Mill Pond

Dredging project

With all of the activity that will be

taking place in and around the pond

this summer we wanted to take this

opportunity to answer some of the

more frequently asked questions

about the dredging project and how

the project will impact the neighbor-

hood

Answers to the following questions

were provided to the association by

the Mill Pond Dredging contractors

Northwest Earthmovers Incorporated

and Mason Bruce amp Girard

Q How long will it take to drain the

pond

A Per NEI the actual length of time

it takes to drain the pond depends on

the precipitation we get in the next few

weeks and how NEI plans to deal with

continued inputs from the perennial

streams that feed the pond from the

north NEI will be accessing the

weather forecast for next week or two

and will time the first phase of the

drawdown of the pond after the fore-

cast clears up Dewatering (draining)

the pond will continue through June

Q What will happen to the wildlife

that lives in and around the pond

A During the permitting process for

the Mill Pond dredging project the

Oregon Department of Fish and Wild-

life visited the site and compiled a list

of permit conditions to which the pro-

ject must adhere These conditions

include

bull dredging the pond after the

young geese have fledged

bull performing fish and amphibian

salvage prior to and during

dredging

bull retaining a shallow underwater

shelf around the island for turtle

habitat

Wildlife biologists from Mason

Bruce amp Girard will also be on-hand

to provide monitoring and oversight

to ensure that the conditions of the

Scientific Take Permit and Wildlife

Salvage Authorization are followed

Q What kind of equipment will be

used to dredge the pond

A A combination of excavators and

dozers

Q How many trucks will be taking

silt out of the pond per day

A This will all depend on how dry

the material is and drier material will

allow for fewer trucks A best guess

estimate would be a fleet of around

15 trucks

Q Will trucks be lined up along

Mill Pond Road during the project

A At times there will be trucks

lined up waiting to receive material

from the dredge Trucks may also be

lined up due to varying traffic condi-

tions within the neighborhood

Q What is the route the trucks will

take through the neighborhood

A The trucks will more than likely

enter from McDaniel traveling south

along Mill Pond but it is probably

best to assume that trucks will enter

from the south from Cornell on 102nd

and Morgan as well The round trip

time to the dump site will take about

an hour

Q How will the trucks get to the

pond area Through the park

A In early July NEI will install a

temporary access road across a

portion of the lawn at Mill Pond Park

Trucks will enter and exit this access

road during the silt removal process

Q How will the contractor secure

the job site

The construction plans call for NEI to

install construction fencing along the

temporary access road and around

the work area of the pond There will

be minor detours set up on the walk-

ing paths in the park to allow for safe

pedestrian passage

Q Will Mill Pond Road or any

other street be blocked off at

any time during the project

A No streets in Forest Heights will

be blocked off or closed during the

project

Q What time of day will the actual

construction start and stop

A By ordinance City of Portland

work hours are 7 AM to 6 PM and

we typically will work 7 AM to 5 PM

or 530 PM

Q What comes after the dredging

A From August thru September NEI

will be installing a new Ultrablock

wall in a portion of the pond rip rap

and large wood bank stabilization

and a new spillwayweir gate From

September thru October a new

Vertex pond aeration system amp foun-

tain will be installed and re-filling of

the pond will begin

Q Will Mill Pond Park be closed

during the construction project

A No the park will remain open but

portions of the park trail will be closed

off from foot traffic The childrenrsquos

play area will be accessible and a

majority of the open lawns will be

untouched during the construction

Q Can I bring my kids or friends to

the park to watch the excavation

A Sure If you do come to the park

to watch the construction we ask

that you do so from the sloped lawn

area (across from the childrenrsquos play

structure) or on the side of the pond

nearest the restroom and HOA tool

shed We also ask that you observe

all safety precautions established by

the contractors and do not trespass

into areas of the park or pond that are

closed off from public access

Stay safe while enjoying outdoor grills smokers and fire pits

G rilling burgers steaks and

hot dogs an American

tradition and summertime

staple Most of the time grilling

cookouts go off without a hitch but

accidents can and do happen Each

year grilling related accidents send

an estimated 20000 people to the

emergency room and cause a

reported $75 million in property

damage

Regardless of the type of grill you

may ownmdashgas charcoal hibachi

or smokermdashgrilling accidents do

happen and can have serious

consequences Improper grill care

or careless grilling techniques can

quickly ruin summer fun and cause

a variety of accidents ranging from

minor burn injuries to major fires

and explosions

Refreshing your memory of basic

grill safety may save you from a

costly or dangerous accident this

summer says Bryan Lewis

propane risk manager for CHS a

supplier of Cenex brand propane

Here are tips from Brian regarding

summer grilling safety

GIVE THE GRILL A ONCE OVER

Propane grills are the most popular

type of grill in the United States and

can also be the most hazardous

Lewis recommends that if you have

an old gas grill especially one more

than 10 years old you should con-

sider replacing it with a grill that has

new important safety features

If your grill is still in good shape the

best way to avoid accidents is to

keep it properly maintained One

simple precaution is to make sure

grills are clean by removing grease

or fat buildup from the grill surface

and drip trays that can create

grease flares and splatters

People are always in a hurry to

light the grill and thats when a lot

of accidents can happen explains

Lewis You should always follow

the manufacturer instructions for

operating the grill and routinely

check the propane hose for leaks

even if that means taking an extra

couple of minutes before lighting

the fire

Before starting the grill Lewis

recommends taking one minute to

test for gas leaks by applying a light

soap and water solution to the gas

tank hose If bubbles appear a leak

is present and you should turn it

off and seek professional mainte-

nance

KEEP A DISTANCE

Follow basic grill safety and use

common sense when choosing

where to set up your grill Grill out-

doors at least 10 feet away from the

house garage or other combustible

buildings or objects

Youd be surprised by how many

people forget this most basic rule of

grilling says Lewis It may seem

convenient to grill on your deck or

to pull the grill inside the garage if

its raining but accidents happen

people can get injured and houses

can catch on fire

In addition to keeping grills a safe

distance away from buildings

remember to keep children and

pets at least three feet away to

avoid the risk of getting burned

And of course never leave grills

unattended

From 2005 to 2009 United States

fire departments responded to an

average of 8200 home fires involv-

ing grills each year according to a

2011 report from the National Fire

Protection Association

Even when having summer fun

people need to remember that

propane can be dangerousrdquo says

Lewis

DONrsquoT TOSS BRICKS

When using a charcoal grill wrap-

up your cookout the right way Hot

charcoal bricks and ashes need to

be disposed of properly to avoid

trash can fires that can potentially

spread to the surrounding area

Douse hot coals with plenty of

water and stir to ensure the fire

is out Never place hot coals in

plastic paper or wooden containers

and avoid dumping them on the

ground where cookout guests

children and pets might step on

them

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR

OTHER TYPES OF OUTDOOR

BURNING FIRE PITS

Portland Fire and Rescue identifies

two kinds of outdoor burning that

are legal within the city limits The

first is standard barbeque equip-

ment The second are recreational

fires defined as ldquoburning clean dry

cord type firewood as in a standard

campfire setting When burning a fire

of this type you must build the fire

in a pit or a pan prepared for this

purpose The fire must not be larger

than a standard campfire less than

3 feet in diameter with pile less than

2 feet in heightrdquo Specific rules for

recreational fires include

bull A recreational fire located in a pit

shall be no closer than 25 feet

from a structure Fires contained

in fireplace-type receptacles or

Chimineas shall be no closer

than 15 feet from a structure or

the distance listed in the manu-

facturersquos instruction whichever

is less When required by the

Fire Marshal outdoor burning

device stacks shall be equipped

with a spark-arresting 12-gauge

wire mesh screen with openings

of not less than 38rdquo nor more

than 12rdquo

bull A responsible person shall be in

attendance at all times and have

approved fire-extinguishing

equipment close at hand

bull The smoke from the fire must

not be of a noxious quality or

amount that causes complaints

3 feet in diameter with pile less than

2 feet in heightrdquo Specific rules for

recreational fires include

bull A recreational fire located in a pit

shall be no closer than 25 feet

from a structure Fires contained

in fireplace-type receptacles or

Chimineas shall be no closer

than 15 feet from a structure or

the distance listed in the manu-

facturersquos instruction whichever

Big changes to the

Forest Heights

4th of July

A s you read in our cover story of this monthrsquos

newsletter by the 4th of July Mill Pond will

more than likely be empty of water and await-

ing the start of the dredging project We couldnrsquot let a

little thing like that keep us from our Annual 4th of July

Fireworks celebration Like they say in show business

ldquothe show must go onrdquo

Last year the Community Activities Committee and

your HOA staff made significant changes to the Forest

Heights 4th of July Celebration Instead of a large

catered party and fireworks show we pared down

the event to only include a fireworks show and a

spectacular one at that

We are continuing that same format this year for the

4th of July here in Forest Heights HOA staff has been

working with the talented pyrotechnicians from West-

ern Fireworks Display to bring the community another

great event

So please join in with your neighbors on Wednesday

July 4th at Mill Pond Park for our annual fireworks

show We suggest you arrive early to secure your

viewing location Donrsquot forget to bring your blankets

andor low seated chairs and remember your flash-

lights for the walk home

See you on the 4th of July

NOTE For safety reasons

certain trails into the park

will be closed at 945 pm

Please plan to arrive early to

secure your view

A s we reported on

the cover story of

this monthrsquos newsletter

the Forest Heights HOA

is moving forward with

the Mill Pond dredging

project As this project

will impact Mill Pond Park well into the fall

months the Community Activities Committee

has recommended to the FHHOA Board of

Directors that the International Fall Festival

be cancelled for 2012 This recommendation

came after months of seeking an alternate

venue within the neighborhood that could

accommodate this large-scale event

Because the Fall Festival attracts over 2500

residents any proposed alternate venue

would need to have enough open space to

accommodate the staging of the event

Additionally the venue would need to allow

the association the ability to serve alcohol

Aside from Mill Pond Park the only other

large open space in the neighborhood is the

soccer field at Forest Park Elementary (FPE)

however due to the FPE Field Renovation

project the association was unable to secure

the field for the festival

The Community Activities Committee recog-

nizes the value of bringing our community

together to celebrate the diversity of cultures

that calls Forest Heights ldquohomerdquo To that end

the committee is asking for the communityrsquos

help in planning next yearrsquos event If you

have suggestions for the 2013 International

Fall Festival or would like to be a performer

Light Up Your HomeSustainably

D id you know up to 90

of the energy used by an

older incandescent light

bulb produces heat instead of light

That will all change now that light-

ing manufacturers are required to

provide high-efficiency incandes-

cent light bulbs for homeowner use

beginning this year When you go

to the store you will find new light-

ing options including more efficient

halogen incandescent bulbs com-

pact fluorescent lights and light

emitting diodes PGE has a com-

parison chart for these options The

new incandescent lights in the

stores are halogenated and are

about 25 percent more efficient

than older incandescent light bulbs

According to the Lumen Coalition

the new halogen lights will cost

about $150 each and save $3 in

energy costs

COMPACT FLOURESCENT

LIGHTS

Compact fluorescent lights com-

monly known as CFLs significantly

reduce energy use last a long time

(up to 10 years) and their costs

have dropped over the years If

used and recycled or disposed of

properly they significantly reduce

environmental impacts compared to

incandescent light bulbs Compact

fluorescent lights or CFLs contain

small amounts of mercury and re-

quire special handling to prevent

breaking In addition while home-

owners can throw spent CFLs

away there are recycling options

Metro can recycle CFL light bulbs if

you bring them to the Metro Central

Transfer Station located at 6161

NW 61st Ave in Portland Call

503-234-3000 for more information

PGE offers information on disposal

options and the Oregon Depart-

ment of Environmental Quality has

identified collection sites for CFLs

If you use CFLs make sure to han-

dle them carefully so they donrsquot

break If you can put them in light

sockets where they will not get

bumped or knocked around Keep

them out of reach of children If a

CFL breaks the US Environmental

Protection Agency has published

procedures for how to handle bro-

ken CFLs

The DEQ Hazardous Waste Pro-

gram regulates businesses to make

sure they properly store handle

and dispose of fluorescent light

bulbs because once a business

uses a certain amount of fluores-

cent light bulbs the waste becomes

regulated and cannot be thrown

away in the garbage The company

must collect and properly recycle or

dispose of spent fluorescent lights

as universal waste DEQ would like

to see smaller unregulated busi-

nesses recycle CFLs to prevent

and reduce mercury releases into

the environment

LEDs

Light emitting diodes commonly

know as LEDs are touted as supe-

rior to CFLs LEDs are considered

the most environmentally friendly

energy efficient lighting option avail-

able A LED is a semi-conductor

made up of a pure material that is

ldquocontaminatedrdquo or ldquodopedrdquo with an-

other to allow the transmission of

electricity in one direction A diode

contains a material with a negative

side and a material with a positive

side The positive side is referred to

as having P holes With an LED

when an electrical current is ap-

plied an electron will move from

the negative side to the positive

side looking to fill a P hole When

that happens a photon is emitted

and voila ndash you get light E Fred

Schubert wrote a book in 2003 that

explains the physics and chemistry

of LEDs You can see his slide

show or if you want the simplified

version (minus the physics and

Page 12

continued on page 13

Page 13

chemistry) of how this works look

at this website

LEDs turn on instantly use much

less energy last up to 22 years

and do not contain mercury How-

ever LEDs do have some limita-

tions They are affected by tem-

perature they are expensive and

they donrsquot work in every kind of

socket yet

Are LEDs really better than CFLs

and incandescent lights overall

There are two references to life cy-

cle analyses comparing various

lighting options Carnegie-Mellon

has a study and Siemens con-

ducted one for Osram an LED

manufacturer in Europe Here is

the link to the OSRAM study

To compare between incandescent

CFL and LED lights Siemens

evaluated a 40 watt incandescent

light compared to an eight watt CFL

and an eight watt LED light The

study compared the three types of

lights over 25000 hours of use To

achieve 25000 hours of use 25

incandescent lights were needed

25 CFLs were needed and one

LED was needed One LED light

can produce as much light as 25 of

the older incandescent light bulbs

Manufacturing accounted for a

small percentage generally about

two percent of the overall environ-

mental impacts among all three

types of lights Predictably use

makes up the largest impacts

LEDs were determined to have

much lower environmental impacts

than incandescent light bulbs and

compared very similarly to CFLs

from an overall environmental im-

pact analysis The study was con-

ducted in 2009

Most articles and studies note that

LEDs continue to improve so the

indications are that LEDs will

become more widely used and

prices will continue to drop

You can find LEDs at Home Depot

or Costco Check out the following

links for more information on the

variety and prices of LEDs avail-

able If you can afford to make the

shift to LEDs you will be pleased

by how much you save and how

long these lights last You will also

be taking a significant step toward

improved sustainability

I n order to re-establish the origi-

nal aesthetic standards of the

Forest Heights community in

regards to mailbox design both the

Forest Heights Architectural Review

Committee (ARC) and Board of

Directors have approved new

standards for mailboxes and their

component parts for use in the

neighborhood

The goal of this project was to

bull Coordinate a standardized and

uniform residential mailbox

bull Ensure resident security

bull Provide a higher quality product

that will aid residents in the

maintenance and cleaning of

mailboxes

As stated in last monthrsquos newsletter

here is what you need to know

about the new mailbox standards

Non-locking mailboxes are no

longer approved for installation

This change was instituted based on

the United States Postal Service

recommendation that only locking

mailboxes be used in order to help

protect residents from identity theft

mail theft and related crimes

Residents with damaged or non-

operable mailboxes will be asked

to replace them with the new

standardized locking mailbox

Residents who currently have oper-

able non-locking boxes will not be

asked to replace them at this time

Locking mailboxes have been

made more uniform in appear-

ance

As in the past there are two

mailbox vendors and three different

approved locking mailboxes We

have worked with both suppliers to

provide uniformity in design Here

are the changes including

bull Mailboxes now have a sleek flat

top and rectangular shape

bull All mailboxes will now be

finished in black

bull The color size font and

location of the house numbers

on the box have also been

standardized

bull Newspaper holders have been

eliminated from the box design

The association has observed

that newspaper holders often

collect solicitation material

and most newspaper delivery

services toss the newspaper

on the driveway

New mailbox post has been

re-designed to keep the post

from leaning or coming out of

alignment

Made out of aluminum the new

lightweight post will not rust The

post is now painted with a long

lasting semi-gloss white automotive

paint This finish is easy to touch up

and cleans with ease The anchor

post and base have been redes-

igned to minimize the movement of

the post

While the Mailbox Standards

Have Changed the Vendors

Remain the Same

Trovo Designs is the supplier for the

mailbox post and a customized lock-

ing mailbox VIEW TROVO FLYER

Mailbox Solutions is the supplier for

the other two approved locking mail-

boxes VIEW MAILBOX

SOLUTIONS FLYER

Both vendors have discounted their

costs for Forest Heights residents

Greater savings can be achieved by

going in with your neighbors and

purchasing mailboxesposts in

greater quantities

NOTE Samples of the approved

locking mailboxes and post are

available for viewing in the asso-

ciation office

Next monthrsquos update how to

evaluate your mailbox post for

cleaning repair or replacement
