From the PresidentBy Rex Burr

I hope you all enjoyed the long Memorial Day weekend. Itcertainly was a hot one!

On May 8th, representatives from the board and landscapecommittee, along with our arborist, The Care of Trees, andlandscape company, Likes Landscape, performed a walking tour ofthe entrances and berms along Book Road and 104th Street. I amhappy to report that, overall, the plants and trees were found to bein very good condition. Unfortunately, a dozen or so bushes, anda handful of trees, were identified as needing to be replaced. Theboard is now in the process of prioritizing and approving thenecessary work to be done.

Another area of concern centers on significant populations ofshrubs (most notably, Dogwood) that are in need of rejuvenation.In order to maximize the health, foliage and fullness of these plants,they need to be rejuvenated (cut down to the base) every three tofive years. We are working diligently to develop plans that willprotect and promote the long-term health and appearance of theseplants while minimizing any impact (reduction of privacy, etc.) toour homeowners.

On a final note, it became apparent during the walk that a fewhomeowners have taken the liberty of adding plants to the bermalong 104th and Book. While we applaud the good intentions and

initiative, I would like to remind everyone that boardapproval is required for such undertakings. Please do notmake any changes to the berm without first obtaining boardapproval.

Until next time, I wish you all a happy and safe June.

Naf Naf Grill® embraces a very simpleconcept: prepare delicious cuisine fromthe freshest ingredients, while capturingthe essence of culture and tradition.Sahar and Elan, the original founders,opened their first restaurant location onOgden Avenue in Naperville, but soonformed a business partnership with twoother entrepreneurs, David and Justin,whereupon three additional restaurantssprung into existence – with a newChicago location on its way.

Each restaurant’s interior isimmaculately laid-out, imbued with anearthen tone that soothes the senses. Itsorganic concept is made manifestthrough its commitment to recycling,from the reclaimed wood used to makeits large tables to the use of recycledpaper and glass tiles to its high-efficiencyLED lighting system.

The food is displayed in a simple – yetresplendent – configuration, makingyour meal selection a seamless process.You can choose to build your selectionon a plate or in one of their thick, fluffypitas. Tahini sauce and a magnificentlyspicy pepper mix are the typicalaccoutrement, and they trulycomplement each dish. Soups and saladare also available, and they are servedalongside pita bread, tahini, hot peppermix and pickles.

The various iterations of chicken andbeef are freshly cut in-house, and theyare seasoned to perfection. The beeftenderloin is especially moist, with adelicate taste and consistency. There’salso a beef kifta kabab, featuring Angusground beef enhanced with a potpourriof spices and herbs.

You can choose from white or dark meatto build your chicken kabab, or there’sthe famous chicken shawarma, which isthinly sliced from a rotating, vertical spit.For those looking for a unique chickenexperience, you must try the schnitzel,which offers a lean chicken breast coatedin sesame and lightly fried.

For the falafel-lover, there’s a falafelmade with chickpeas and an array ofherbs, molded into a patty and gentlyfried. And the celebrated pita is plump,soft and literally melts in your mouth,right from the oven. Roast eggplant andhummus adorn the menu in abundantfashion.

If you’re in search of exceptionalMediterranean cuisine with a dedicationto the freshest ingredients, hand-madeand served to exact specifications, Ihighly recommend Naf Naf Grill. It’s arich, cultural dining experience that istruly special and one not soon forgotten.

the happy gardenertips for everyone who love to dig

By Heather Prince

Art in the Garden

Add your personal touch to your yardwith a garden accent. A piece of gardenart or a decorative container can create afocal point, add the finishing touch to a

garden room, or just delight the eye. A decorativebench can offer a shady respite or a place to soak inthe sun. At The Growing Place, we’ve found thatrearranging garden art can be a fun and easy way torefresh your space or draw attention to a seasonaldisplay.

Consider placing pieces with complementary colorsnear a plant in full bloom to add even more sparkleto its flowering display. Containers can offer aneasy, colorful way to fill a hole, distract the eye, orcreate a dramatic effect. Theycan be moved out to more sunto encourage betterflowering, or into more shadeif plants are wilting orscorching in the summer heat.A strawberry pot filled withherbs can be ideal next to thekitchen door for easy picking.Creative statuary can giveyou a subtle accent or a boldstatement.

One of the loveliest ways tocreate an intriguing path iswith stepping stones.Express your personalitywith a variety of patterns oreven make them yourself!Plus, stepping stonesencourage us to stay on the

path and off of soft soil that can be easilycompacted. Consider placing stones strategicallyso that you can easily access your beds to weedwithout impacting soil.

Think about adding a vertical element to yourgarden room with trellises, obelisks, and pillars.When covered in perennial or annual vines, theselong-lasting structures can give you some muchneeded height in a small space or even screen adistracting view.

The Growing Place offers a large selection of gardenart including benches, statuary, containers, trellisesand more. Join us for our annual Gardener’s Art

Festival on Saturday, June23 at the Naperville locationon Plank Road. Enjoy a widerange of artists and craftersoffering handmade itemswith a garden theme. At11:00 am, Bill Shores,manager of the Rick BaylessOrganic Garden in Chicago,where he grows saladgreens, herbs and vegetablesfor Rick’s restaurant,Topolobampo will speakabout ‘Gourmet Gardening’.Walt Anderson, local notedphotographer will presenton “Digital GardenPhotography” at 1:00 p.m.C h e c kwww.thegrowingplace.comfor further details.


There are millions ofcats entering sheltersevery year in the U.S.,

and, sadly, only about one ofevery four shelter cats finds anew home. The other three areeuthanized. Why? There aretoo many cats and not enoughadopters. In our local area,there may be 50 catssurrendered to animal controlin one morning – some of themcoming from homes, whileothers are stray. Knowing thatone unspayed female and all ofher offspring can produce up to420,000 cats in seven years, youcan see how the cat populationcan get out of hand quickly. Atprivately-run humane societies,

such as the Naperville AreaHumane Society, that do noteuthanize for cage space, thewaiting list for cats needing tobe surrendered for adoptioncan often exceed six months.When one cat gets adopted, thenext cat on the waiting list iscalled in to take that availablecage space. The average lengthof stay for cats waiting foradoption at the shelter isapproximately four months. Byadopting even one cat, you savemultiple lives: you save the catyou bring home and also themany cats that are waiting forthe cage space at the shelter toopen up for them.

The Naperville Area

Humane Society is desperatelylooking for new homes for themany cats in their care. Tocelebrate Adopt-a-Shelter-CatMonth in June, NAHS isrunning a “Certified Pre-Owned” cat promotion theentire month. They havereduced their adult catadoption fee to only $25, andthe kitten adoption fee isdiscounted to only $100. Thisadoption fee includes spay orneuter surgery, vet exam,vaccinations, microchip, collarand carrier. Please seenapervilleareahumanesociety.org for more details.

Hearts!Pet TalesBy the Naperville Area Humane Society

Please take a moment to learn about one of the catscurrently available for adoption:Hi there! My name is Tuna. Yes, I know it’s strange thatI am a cat named after a fish, but I am so sweet I wouldanswer to any name you called me. I am a beautiful, four-year-old cat. I was given up by the only family I have everknown due to someone being allergic to me. I am a verysocial and loving cat and would be very happy in a homethat wants lots of cuddle time with their new familymember. I am currently lounging in our free-roam catroom called Kittyland and loving every minute of it. I amone of the first cats to greet the scout tours when they stopby and have enjoyed making new cat friends, likeProfessor Tuesday and Swayze. I would even get alongwith a dog friend. Would you like to be my friend? Hopeyou can stop by soon!To learn more about all the wonderful cats and dogswaiting for adoption please call 630-420-8989 or go towww.napervilleareahumanesociety.org for details.

Emerald Ash Borer(EAB) from killing your

ash trees. Pleaseinspect your Ash trees

for EAB.

Signs of infestation include noticeable

woodpecker damage, dieback, splits in

the bark, excessive sprouts, or small

D-shaped holes in the bark. If you

have an ash tree and you don’t treat it,

if WILL definitely die. Please note that

an Ash tree typically will not show

these symptoms of EAB until 2 or 3

years after the tree has been infested.

The adult Emerald Ash Borer emerges

between May and July. The best time

to treat your trees is between mid-April

and June. The insecticides are

typically injected or poured into the

ground around or into the trunk of the

tree. If your Ash tree is greater than 15

inches in diameter, professional

treatment of your tree is

recommended. The insecticides

available to the general public are

intended for use on younger trees.

Ash trees are very common in our

neighborhood. As a good neighbor it

is your responsibility to treat ash trees

on your property (including those in

the area between your sidewalk and

the street).

The signs of EAB infestation have

been identified in a number of

Naperville subdivisions. In addition,

more than 15,200 of the city’s parkway

trees are Ash trees. This is 27% of the

city’s parkway tree inventory. See

http://www.naperville.il.us/eab.aspx for

more information about EAB in

Naperville.

If you don’t know if you have Ash trees

on your property here are a few

guidelines about the characteristics of

Ash trees.

• Ash trees feature compound leaves

made up of small, glossy green

leaflets

• Leaves, twigs and branches grow in

opposite pairs

• Bark of mature ash trees is gray and

furrowed, often appearing in a

diamond pattern

• Some ash trees will produce small

canoe paddle shaped seeds.

If you are uncertain as to whether or

not you have an Ash tree on your

property call an Arborist or bring a

sample leaf to the Morton Arboretum

Plant Clinic. Web sites also provide

additional information about Ash Trees

and EAB.

www.emeraldashborer.infor/index.cfm,

cfm.

Although there currently is no cure for

EAB, scientists currently believe

proper insecticide treatment will

minimize the damage caused by EAB.

For additional information in this

regard please see

www.napervil lehomeowners.com.

The Naperville Homeowners

Confederation sponsored a forum on

Naperville and the EAB in March and

their Web site includes the materials

presented at this forum held at the City

Council Chambers.

At that meeting we were told that if you

wait for the tree to die the cost to

remove a 15” diameter ash tree is

approximately $1,500 (removal, stump

grinding and replacement). Ash trees

become very brittle when they die and

falling branches can damage property

and people. If you personally

remove an ash tree, DO NOT use

the wood as firewood. This only

spreads the disease. The City of

Naperville will continue to remove any

dead trees in the parkway (the grassy

area between the street and sidewalk).

The City requests that you submit an

Emerald Ash Borer Treatment Form

when you treat your Ash trees. You

can also find this form on the City Web

site mentioned above.

Again, if you have Ash trees on your

property, please be a good neighbor

and proactively treat them for EAB.

Our subdivision’s economic value in

part depends on the beauty of the tree

lined streets and backyards. TREAT

ALL ASH TREES FOR EAB NOW!
