SIERRA LONG PARK - UPDATE<br />
Design Objectives and Process<br />
• Requests went out to <strong>Lost</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> residents for suggestions<br />
on what items should be considered for inclusion in the park.<br />
• At the same time a search was started in an effort to find<br />
a landscape designer/architect.<br />
• Several firms were contacted and those who expressed an<br />
interest were provided with information on the site, the issues<br />
we have to contend with and some ideas on what the park<br />
should contain.<br />
• Only a few came out to see the sight. After a few months,<br />
all but one firm decided not to work with us. Their reasons<br />
ranged from “project is too small” to “we don’t have the time<br />
to work this into our schedule.” Talley Landscape Architects<br />
was the only company, which agreed to work with us.<br />
Getting Ready to Launch<br />
• First off, the property had to be surveyed because of changes<br />
that were made when it was owned by Morrison Homes.<br />
• Basic park designs were presented to the Board by the architect<br />
based on the items that the Board selected to include<br />
in the park.<br />
• Now it’s the fall of 2015 and we wanted to get started, but<br />
we experienced unusually wet weather where it rained heavily<br />
almost every week or so and prevented us from obtaining the<br />
soil needed to grade the park.<br />
• In the meantime, the developer/owner of the property at<br />
the southwest corner of Bellaire and Peek offered to allow<br />
Fort Bend MUD 50 to take over 200 live oak trees from that<br />
old tree farm site before sale of the property was concluded.<br />

PRESENT THIS COUPON TO YOUR SUPERVISOR FOR HUGE SAVINGS!<br />
• The trees were free, so all the MUD had to do was to find<br />
someone to move the trees. They did for a cost of $200 per<br />
tree.<br />
• Since <strong>Lost</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> would be needing trees for the park, a<br />
separate agreement between MUD 50 and <strong>Lost</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> was<br />
entered into for 60 of the trees. This was done so that we<br />
could benefit from the same low cost of transplanting.<br />
• The weather condition that held off grading also delayed<br />
the tree transplanting for a few months because the ground<br />
was too muddy for the transplanting equipment to be used<br />
at the tree farm.<br />
• Still unable to get the soil needed to do the grading, it was<br />
decided to go ahead with the tree transplanting in January<br />
2016 before the tree farm property sale closed.<br />
• The trees were all transplanted, but then the weather turned<br />
warm, dry and windy. So the race was on to get the irrigation<br />
system in and the trees could be watered.<br />
• The irrigation system is now in and functioning. Initial<br />
grading has begun.<br />
• Additional grading will continue over the next month or so<br />
and then hydro-mulching and seeding will be done.<br />
• Other major park additions will be done over the next<br />
2 - 3 years.<br />
Future Additions to the Park<br />
• Walking trail, Benches, Playground, Fencing, Other Amenities<br />
LOCK YOUR GARAGE DOOR<br />
Just closing your garage door does not provide security. Even<br />
if you have an electric door opener, you are not secure. There<br />
are illegal devices that can be used by a burglar to search<br />
through all kinds of codes to find one that opens your garage<br />
door. When you’re not at home, lock your garage door. Before<br />
you go to bed at night, lock your garage door. Also, lock the<br />
door that goes from your garage into your house. Keep your<br />
garage door closed when you are not working in your garage<br />
or not out in your front yard. If you are like most of us, you<br />
have many things in your garage, including expensive tools<br />
that you don’t want stolen.<br />
WANT TO WIDEN YOUR DRIVEWAY?<br />
THAT’S GREAT - BUT DO IT THE RIGHT WAY<br />
Don’t decrease the value of your property. Go to the <strong>Lost</strong><br />
<strong>Creek</strong> website to see examples of driveways that were done<br />
well and others that were done poorly. As with any changes<br />
you want to make to your property, you must submit an<br />
Architectural Improvement Request. It is important that we<br />
maintain the character of our community and our property<br />
values by restricting what homeowners are allowed to do.<br />

Bayou City Art Festival. Lia Castillo and Briana Creery, both 8 th<br />
graders at Briscoe, will compete with 300 other Houston-area<br />
art pieces.<br />
“This contest is an extension of the adult art show, Bayou City<br />
Art Festival. This festival brings in artists from all over the U.S.<br />
The middle school contest was open to Houston and surrounding<br />
communities. For our students to have won two finalist place<br />
in this group is amazing,” said BJH art teacher, Audrey Fuege.<br />
With history in various other art competitions students compete,<br />
this is only the second year anyone from Briscoe has entered<br />
this contest and the first time students will be featured. “We are<br />
very proud of our two Briscoe students and can’t wait to see how<br />
they compete in this festival,” Fuege said.<br />
The girls were chosen to be a part of this competition based on<br />
their creativity and detail. When the passion is there, all it takes<br />
is a little push from someone with a similar passion. “I wanted<br />
to share my love of art with my students just like my teacher<br />
did for me,” Fuege said. Their art work will be displayed at the<br />
Bayou City Art Festival in late April in Memorial Park, Houston.<br />

GEORGE RANCH LONGHORNS FINISH<br />
NO. 26 IN NATION<br />
George Ranch High School recently received the cherry on top of<br />
the perfect treat that was the 2015 football season. Representatives<br />
of MaxPreps visited the Longhorns and revealed the team<br />
ended the season ranked No. 26 in the nation. The online high<br />
school sports leader ranks more than 15,000 football teams every<br />
year. The visit was part of the MaxPreps Tour of Champions,<br />
sponsored by the Army National Guard.<br />
“It’s a special award and special ranking for our kids and football<br />

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ART CONTEST!<br />
Don’t mess with Texas® and Keep Texas Beautiful invite you to<br />
set aside time for their Elementary School Art Contest. Did you<br />
know that Texans ages 16 to 34 are the most likely to litter? We<br />
need to do all we can to motivate young Texans to keep our<br />
environment free of trash. This contest is a great way to share<br />
the Don’t mess with Texas and Keep Texas Beautiful litter prevention<br />
messages with your elementary school students so that<br />
they learn good habits from an early age.<br />
Get creative! Inspired by their creativity and desire to protect our<br />
environment, elementary school students from across Texas can<br />
submit their best litter prevention design to be considered for<br />
the 2016 Don’t mess with Texas Calendar. Entries will be judged<br />
based on creativity/uniqueness, inclusion of a litter prevention<br />
message and interpretation of theme, overall visual appeal,<br />
composition and age appropriateness.<br />

David Levin did a terrific job in the sale of our home. His dedication to<br />
getting us the right price, and the right buyer was unsurpassed. David’s<br />
expertise in presenting our home in the correct scenario for maximum<br />
appeal was critical to the timing of our sale. Not only did David sell our<br />
original home, he worked tirelessly to show us multiple possibilities for<br />
our next home. We ultimately purchased with his advice, influence and<br />
again, his expertise all contributing to the decision we made. We appreciate<br />
all he did, and will recommend him to anyone we know that is<br />
looking to buy or sell or both. Stephen S.”<br />

IT’S THAT TIME<br />
By Cheryl Conley, TWRC Wildlife Center<br />
This is the time of year when you may hear the pitter patter of<br />
tiny feet in your attic or chitter chatter in your walls or chimneys.<br />
It’s baby season in the world of wildlife. The most likely animals<br />
that may be using your home or out-buildings as a nesting site<br />
are raccoons and squirrels. If you’re hearing activity during the<br />
day it’s probably a squirrel. Raccoons are nocturnal and are active<br />
at night. If you have a raccoon “renting” from you, it’s best<br />
if you can leave her alone for a few weeks. When the babies<br />
are old enough, she will move out on her own taking her babies<br />
with her. If you’d like to strongly encourage her to leave, in the<br />
evening you can place a loud radio, bright lights and unpleasant<br />
smells (vinegar is good) in the attic or at the base of your<br />
chimney. This will create an unpleasant environment for her.<br />
If you hear noises in your walls, tap gently where you’re hearing<br />
the noise. If the animal is able to, this should scare them out. If<br />
you continue to hear the noise, this may mean a baby is stuck.<br />
Seek professional help for removal but make sure you hire a<br />
company that will work to try to reunite the mother and baby.<br />
Trapping only mothers or removing babies without the mother<br />
is cruel and inhumane. Not all animal control companies are<br />
alike so do your research. Ask questions. Get specifics on how<br />
the animals will be handled. Will the animal be killed and if so,<br />
why? Are there offspring that will be orphaned or abandoned?<br />
Insist on humane techniques. If you need assistance finding a humane<br />
animal control company, give TWRC Wildlife Center a call.<br />
The best way to prevent attic guests is to inspect your home for entry<br />
points and block them. Make sure, however, that there are no animals<br />
in your attic or walls before you do this. Look over, under and around<br />
your roof area. If you find openings, repair them.<br />
Remember, although animals may be unwelcomed guests, they are<br />
only looking for a dry, quiet, safe place to give birth and care for their<br />
little ones until they’re old enough to be on their own - just like us.<br />
TWRC Wildlife Center is a Houston-based wildlife rehabilitation<br />
and education center available to anyone needing assistance<br />
with wildlife. Check our website at www.twrcwildlifecenter.org<br />
or call 713-468-TWRC and don’t forget to donate so we can<br />
continue to help wildlife as we’ve done for 36 years.<br />

BECOME A TUTOR-UNDERSTAND OUR<br />
STUDENT’S LIFELINES<br />
Become an essential part of a student’s life by signing up to<br />
be a tutor for the Literacy Council! The Literacy Council of<br />
Fort Bend County holds tutor training every other month. After<br />
12 hours of training, outstanding volunteers are equipped to<br />
teach Basic Literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL)<br />
classes to adults. The trainings prepare tutors to organize and<br />
compile lesson plans, learn about various tutoring techniques,<br />
understand the purpose of the Literacy Council and much more.<br />
Tutors do not need knowledge of any foreign language, nor do<br />
they need formal teaching experience. We offer many locations<br />
for tutoring throughout the area, including locations in Katy.<br />
Tutoring sessions are offered during the day and at night. If<br />
you are interested in impacting someone’s life by being their<br />
tutor, please contact the Literacy Council at 281-240-8181 or<br />
visit the website at www.ftbendliteracy.org. Help us to “Change<br />
Lives Through Literacy!”<br />
RUOK PROGRAM<br />
Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Dept. has a computer-generated program<br />
called “Are You OK?” (RUOK). It is a computer-generated<br />
call intended for senior citizens (over 55) and disabled persons<br />
who live alone and could benefit from a daily check. A computer<br />
will generate a call each morning, at about the same time and<br />
the participant chooses a time frame. A voice will ask, “Are you<br />
OK?” After this, all they have to do is hang up the phone. If<br />
the participant goes out of town or leaves the residence for any<br />
time, you just temporarily un-subscribe and re-subscribe when<br />
you return. If the call goes unanswered, the computer will call<br />
back 3 times at 15-minute intervals. If there is still no answer,<br />
the Sheriff will dispatch a deputy or the local police. They will<br />
have with them a print out of information on the person that<br />
is not responding to the calls. This program was established<br />
