Stay Safe T his Summer
July 2017
Summer is the time for fun with family and friends. However, it’s also when many accidents occur around the
home. Keep your family, friends and neighbors safe with these tips.
• Swimming pools and spas may be fun to play and lounge in; however, children and pets can get hurt
in and around them. Children’s drowning deaths and injuries are highest between the months of
May and August. Never leave children unattended. Make sure everyone knows how to swim and
keep children away from pool drains, pipes & openings.
• Always grill in an open, well-ventilated area, and keep children & animals at least 3’ away from
the grill.
• Put away hoses when not in use to prevent falls
• Keep paint, fertilizers and hazardous chemicals
out of reach of children and animals
• Remove dead trees & branches before they become
a hazard
• Put away lawn & garden tools & machinery when
you’re finished with them and maintain them & use
them as instructed to prevent injuries.
• Put ladders and other home maintenance items
away when not in use

Coupons & Box Tops for Kids
submitted by Susan Cramer
Neighborhood volunteers pack week-end food bags for
food-insecure preschoolers at The Family School which is on
McDowell Rd at the north end of F Q Story. We also try to
supply cleaning & laundry supplies as well as personal care items.
Please drop any unused manufacturer’s coupons from your
Sunday paper or from the Wednesday food ads that come in
the mail, in the basket on the front porch of 730 W Willetta
St. The basket is available every day. No need to cut out the
coupons. Unused coupons go to the families we support.
Box Tops for Education are also collected by the school. They don’t
need to be perfectly trimmed. Just rip them off your soup cans and
cereal boxes and drop the off along with the coupons.
Many thanks to all of you who have been supporting this endeavor
for the past year. The need grows and we hope the list of folks who
support the project will grow as well.

Notes from the President
Hello FQ Story! Happy Fourth! I hope you’re staying cool.
As unpleasant as our extreme heat weather has been,
October will be here before you know it and we can all
celebrate the cooling off with some ice cream at our next
neighborhood social.
Block Watch Signs – The SPA is considering purchasing
neighborhood Block Watch signs for our neighborhood’s
entry points. These signs would be the same signs as
those in other neighborhoods. Once the number of signs
and hardware (required to be purchased from the City of
Phoenix) is determined, it will be brought to the Steering
Committee for a vote.
The Clinton Campbell House – As many of you may be aware of, a demolition request has been
filed for this 120-year-old building. The development firm that purchased the parcel that included
the house and two adjacent, vacant lots, says refurbishing would cause “an unnecessary economic
hardship.” A last-minute appeal has been filed, as well as, preservation advocates are considering
adaptive reuses.
Seventh Ave Landscaping Update – The median project has been completed and the focus is now
on the west side of 7 th Avenue. More to come on plans from Phoenix officials.
Air Quality Working Group – As you all know; Ginger Mattox has been actively involved in the
environmental issues that affect FQ Story. Her many connections with business and local agencies
has been instrumental in staying on top of our eco-friendly quality of life. If you have any
questions on this issue, contact Ginger to get information on the subject.
2017 Home Tour – The Home Tour Subcommittee is off and running. They are looking at homes
and working on making this year’s event better than ever. But, we can’t have a home tour without
homes. Last year, we only had seven causing us to lower the price of tickets, bringing in less funds
to help FQ Story. If you are interested in having your home on tour, or just want info on what is
involved, contact any Home Tour Subcommittee member.
No July Meeting – It’s summer break for the Steering Committee. If you have an issue that can’t
wait for August, let me know and we’ll work on it outside of a physical meeting.
As always, please contact me if there’s anything I can help with.

How Do I Get My House On T he
National Register Of Historic Places?
by Joan Gresch (gresch@cox.net)
No doubt you have seen some bronze plaques from the National
Register on a few homes in Story or other historic Phoenix neighborhoods.
This designation is valued by many people, though there
are different opinions on the potential impact in the monetary
value of your home. It is certainly appreciated and celebrated by
history and architecture buffs and most neighbors, though. It also
verifies that a home is at least 50 years old, valued by the owners
and the city or state, and is a great example of architecture from
its particular era and locale. If you are interested in considering
this national historic designation, here are some details.
Usually, the application process starts with your local historical preservation department. They will likely
have applications for the federal process, and can help you. They will also have easy access to research
and facts involving your particular home. One note, though—though they may work together at times,
your local preservation agency and the National Register (a federal agency) are separate entities. Obtaining
a state preservation easement or a tax break locally does not guarantee the same with the feds,
though in some cases tax credits or renovation assistance may apply. Each agency, state or federal,
makes their own determination.
Though the national designation recognizes and celebrates the home’s historical and architectural status,
it general will not protect the home from changes by subsequent owners. That, again, generally lies with
the local (state) preservation agency.
What will hopefully qualify a building for designation? It is beneficial if the building has most of its
architectural integrity intact… if it looks basically the same as when it was built, or if it has significance
because a historical event or a prominent person had ties to the structure. The nearby neighbors may be
contacted for comments, and if most of them object, you may not be able to be on the federal register.
If your home is designated by the National Register,
you then have the right to order a plaque from them
to install on the front of your home. You will also be
on a preservation database and have the opportunity
to communicate with other groups and individuals who
promote preservation. And you also will have the pride
of ownership and historical significance of your home
celebrated right on the front of your residence with
a beautiful plaque.
So, let’s practice responsible custodianship and keep
our homes as original as possible, thereby hopefully
ensuring their eligibility for this status. Preservation
is so important… subsequent owners may never be able
to replicate the historical features that you remove.

In the past few weeks there has been a sharp increase in outdoor property crimes reported on NextDoor and the F Q Story
Yahoo group. Those who take part in the online groups have immediate knowledge of these events. For those who do not
participate this may be new and alarming information.
Unfortunately, some of the recent problems did not seem to be included in the statistics provided by the CAO for Story
north of the freeway at Tuesday’s Steering Committee meeting. It is important to report all incidents, even ones that feel
minor to you, to the police to draw their attention to our neighborhood.
Make Your House An Unattractive Target
Crime Prevention
• Keep your porch light on from dusk until dawn. The limited number of street lights we have in Story will not illuminate
your porch. If all our porch lights were on every night it night make thieves feel less welcome. Timers for porch lights
range from under $20 to upwards of $40 at big box stores. Lights that will come on from dusk to dawn without a timer
are also available. Another option would be motion sensor lights that might frighten off unwelcome visitors.
• Make your house look occupied. Program timers to automatically turn your lights, radio or TV on and off at pre-set
times. Lamp timers cost from $10 to $20.
There is a common misconception that leaving a bathroom light on will keep thieves at bay. Unfortunately the thieves
know about this trick as well.
• Choose plants with fierce thorns to plant under windows that could be used for easy access into your home.
• Where possible, attach porch furniture to your house or a porch railing, etc. We have some very determined thieves
who will unbolt items such as lamp posts and wrenching John Pierce creations off their posts, but we don’t want to
make their lives too easy.
• Case your place. Think like a thief. Is your car inviting to thieves? How secure are the gates into your backyard?
Protecting Your Car From Thieves
• Keep your vehicle locked at all times, even while driving. This includes locking your car as you are filling your gas tank.
• When parked, never leave your keys in the car. Close all the windows and the sunroof.
• Never leave your car running and unattended.
• Avoid leaving valuables inside your vehicle where passersby can see them. Even an empty shopping bag can look attractive
to a thief.
• If you’re going to hide valuables in your vehicle do it before you park so anyone watching as you park will not see you do
it.
• If you drive an SUV, try to cover the contents of the cargo area with a retractable cover or at least a cover of some
kind.
• Do not leave your vehicle title in the car. Too often a car thief is pulled over and gets away from the police because he
or she can produce the auto registration. (If multiple drivers use the vehicle, the best suggestion would be to hide the
registration in a secret location in the car that only the owners know.).
• Install an anti-theft system in your vehicle if it doesn’t have one. Thieves are reluctant to steal vehicles if they know
the cars can be recovered quickly. Many insurers offer discounts for the some types of anti-theft systems.
• Thieves prefer to work in the dark. Be particularly cautious at night about where you park your car. Park it in a well-lit
area if possible.
• Have your car’s vehicle identification number (VIN) etched on each of the windows. Car thieves want to get off cheap.
They don’t want to go to the expense of replacing all the glass.
Get Involved
• Get to know your neighbors and who belongs to which car so you could spot illegal activity.
• As you are driving through the neighborhood, slow down and be aware of your surroundings.
• If you see suspicious activity, call 602-262-6151
• If you see a crime in progress, call 911.
• It takes everyone to make our neighborhood a safe place to live and YOU CAN HELP!

F.Q. Story 2017 Traffic-Tube Test Results
submitted by Ginger Mattox
The results from the 4-day Traffic-Tube test conducted
in FQ Story April 28 th to May 2 nd were presented at the
Steering Committee meeting on June 13 th . Phoenix Streets
and Transportation Traffic Engineers, Carl Langford and
Michael Vellotti presented the data in a multi-media presentation
and answered questions from the audience.
The collected data from this study was compared to a
similar study conducted in 2016. The difference between
the two years was that the 2016 study had 10 traffic tubes
placed only on the “East-Side” of Story. The 2017 study
was monitored with 20 tube set-ups ...10 “East-Side” and
10 “West-Side” (which included both north and south of
the freeway). The instruments measured traffic volume
averages (Vehicles Per Day) and vehicle speed averages
(Miles Per Hour).
East-Side VPD ranged from 171 (low) on Portland between 9 th and 11 th to 814 (high) on Willetta
between 7 th and 9 th . Department regulations require 1,000 VPD to be reached before a residential
street is considered to have “high” traffic volume. But…. compared to the 2016 study, volumes
have significantly increased in the last 12 months. The VPD high range in the 2016 study was 445.
The average speed at the Portland location mentioned above was 19.4 MPH and the Willetta speed
average was 21.9 MPH. The posted speed limit is 25 MPH therefore most drivers were found to
be driving well within the speed limit.
The percentage of speeders that drove 10+ MPH over the posted limit ranged from 0.1% to the
high on Latham between 11 th and 13 th @ 4.5% There was no change in speed averages when comparing
2016 to 2017.
West-Side VPD static’s are lower when compared to the East-Side. The high volume was south
of Franklin High School on Culver at 17 th with a VPD of 694. The low volume location of 62 was
at 16 th Ave and Culver.
The MPH speed range gave a slightly different picture compared to the East-Side static’s. At
the highest VPD location, the “average” speed was 25.2 MPH both north and south bound. While
all other West-Side locations were between 17.1 and 18.0 MPH. Lynwood at 16 th was the slowest
at 14.8 MPH.
The percentage of speeders that drove 10+ MPH over the posted speed limit ranged from 0.3%
to 2.9%. Once again the high % was just south of the high school. This is in an area considered
to be a “school zone” with many students walking to and from the Franklin campus daily.
Page 6

Traffic Tube Test Results continued:
The West-Side study could not be compared to any other year. This was the first time the study
was considered important. A head-on collision between two cars at Willetta-Culver location on 17 th
stirred the neighbors into action earlier this year. No one was hurt but one of the vehicles was
pushed into the front yard of a nearby home.
West-Sider’s are seeing an increase in speed and volume during the weekday that they attribute
to “cut-thru” traffic as drivers attempt to avoid the 19 th /McDowell/Grand Ave. intersection during
rush-hour. The VPD 4-day total average breakdown for all of Story is as follows: Friday 33%, Saturday
21%, Sunday 18% and Monday 28%
One additional issue the West-Sider’s face is the 3 weeks in October that the State Fair is open.
A separate Small Group Taskforce is being set-up to address those particular issues associated
with the once-a-year event.
Last week-end, 150 flyers were distributed to the neighbors south of McDowell and west of 15 th
Ave. It asked residents for past testimonial experiences and suggestions to the city that would
improve their quality of life while enduring the 3 week traffic invasion. Those comments were
delivered to the Engineering Dept and were acknowledged at the meeting. Several options are
currently available but further discussion needs to take place between the affected community
and the city…..”stay tuned” for more info on this subject.
So, what can the “City” offer the community if we think we need their help? We already have
59….. yes, “59” Stop Signs in Story. Those signs were recently updated with a larger version.
Currently, the City’s map shows 2 speed bumps installed in Story.
If we want more traffic control devices, it is a complicated process. The most difficult part of
getting more speed humps is getting a 100% consensus of homes within 100 feet of the installation.
It also requires 70% approval of homes considered within the boundary area of the hump.
The city’s expense is currently $2,800. per installation with a cost of $1,200. per to be covered
by the community.
So what’s next? Do we want more Stop Signs? Do we want more Speed Humps? Do we feel that
we have a problem that the city can not help us to address with their current options? Do we
want to start thinking-outside-the-box and come up with our own approach? I have a few ideas
that are different. What about you?
There will be no July Steering Committee meeting so between now and August let’s put some
thought into this issue. If you would like to be part of a “think-tank”, send me an email gmattox@
cox.net or give me a call 602-340-0381. If you would like to head-up a project, I will volunteer to
be part of the team. There is lots of talent in this community; lets put it to good use.
For more in-depth information on the study, I will be asking the FQ Story Web Master to place a
copy of the city’s multi-media presentation on our Yahoo website or send me an email request and
I will forward it to you.

Summer Wellness Just A Memory?
Summertime fun is coming again. This will be your 48 th summer to enjoy. It would be so much more fun if
you were just healthy like in all those years gone by. It’s over now but the memories are so good!
The summer of ’85 you ran in lots of 5K races. You were in high school and joined the cross country team.
You and your teammates trained by running twice a day and logged 50 miles each week during that steamy
summer. Plenty of hard work but it was so way cool to be in such great shape. Those Guess jeans fit you
nicely with the size 29 waist.
The summer of ’92 you graduated from Indiana University. Before heading right into the “real world”,
you and your buddies decided to bike around Europe as a healthy challenge that would let you explore
everything from Barcelona to Budapest to Brussels. You cycled through the Alps in Italy, Austria, and
Switzerland and had some incredibly toned legs from the 45 day journey.
The summer of ’99 you bought your first house. You landscaped the entire yard on weekends throughout
those dog days of yesterday. You were able to carry large bags of dirt over your shoulder and wheelbarrow
two tons of decorative rock to create the perfect backyard sanctuary. You were light years ahead
of the cross fit challenges of today.
The summer of ’04 had you in the best shape of your life. You were doing intensive training for that
triathlon that you finally decided to enter. Three hours of training every day in June, July, and August.
Biking, swimming, and running were more of a priority than TV and that last season of Friends. You did
amazing on race day. First place in your age group and 9 th overall out of 388 competitors.
The summer of ’08 will be remembered as the season of playing in the softball and kickball leagues. Four
nights every week of competition and camaraderie. An all-star lineup of wellness activities to keep you
height weight proper during that part of your life. Throwing, hitting, running, kicking, jumping, and sliding
were part of the rigorous repertoire.
The summer of ’13 was the last of the golden age of healthy living for you. But what a summer it was!
You went hiking on so many trails in the high country. You rode your bike to work and back almost every
day back then. Zumba was all the craze for you and your pals at your gym. And you worked out like an
Olympic gymnast and gained so much muscle mass. You looked and felt like a million dollars!
The last several summers have been punctuated by apathy, laziness, and procrastination. Now you’re
thirty pounds overweight and have bad knees. Your friends tell you not to worry and say it is part of
getting older.
Page 8
submitted by Ron Blake
I say find some new friends. We are all
getting older. That doesn’t mean you have
to give in to age.
Get up and get healthy again. It is NEVER
too late. Stop living on the memories of yesterday
and create some moments of today.
Dream of what you want tomorrow to be…
and make it happen. The summer of ’17 is
going to be epic healthy fun for you!
This wellness is brought to you by dat guy of
dose and dees. Dat guy with the Chicago accent
is Ron Blake and he’s always ready for some
healthy summer fun. He can be reached at

Congratulations to our
July Visual Award Winner
For Jeanie Baber, the love affair with her
home has spanned more than three decades
.
She first moved into the house in 1984, when she and
her then-boyfriend came to live in the house his father
had owned since 1970. Their '80s-era rent?
$200 a month. She's been in and out since then.
When John, by then her father-in-law, died, she and her
daughters inherited the 1922 Bungalow. While there
was a lot of work to do on the inside, Jeanine said the
trees planted in the streetscape (the space between
the sidewalks and the street) had grown to maturity,
creating shady canopies for her and all passersby.
She built on that, with an eye to create an inviting,
quiet spot. She installed a garden on the west end of
the house, cleaned up the yard and added awnings to
protect the home from the sun but also to give the
exterior some pop. Now she has a calming streetscape
to enjoy from the comfort of her shaded front
porch, and F.Q. Story has a peaceful spot for neighbors.
For her efforts, Baber is the winner of this
month's Visual Award. Check it out at 737 W. Willetta.
