DEED RESTRICTIONS REMINDERS<br />
Garage Sales: Did you know? Two garage sales a year is the limit under<br />
Texas Law. The Limited Sales, Excise and Use Tax Act says that people<br />
who are not operating a business are permitted to have no more than<br />
two sales of their goods each year. If you exceed this amount, you will<br />
be treated as operating a business and you’ll need to obtain a sales tax<br />
permit from the state. A quick Internet search reveals that a number of<br />
Texas cities also have ordinances limiting garage sales and some don’t<br />
allow them at all. Houston has no such ordinance, however, according<br />
to the city’s website. Instead, the city relies on the state law. Businesses<br />
are not allowed in the community.<br />
Trash Can Containers: Trash cans and Trash are to be out of site and<br />
remain out of view at all times, it takes away from property values.<br />
Street Curbs: Curbs are homeowners’ responsibility to keep clean and<br />
free of debris, (i.e. leaves and trash). Keeping these clean will ensure<br />
less street flooding, trash being forced down and clogging sewer drains.<br />
Oil Stains: If you’re having difficulties getting the oil and grease stains<br />
out from your driveway, there are a few mixtures you can buy at an auto<br />
part store that is less than $10. These mixtures will help get the oil and<br />
grease stains in your driveway.<br />
Streetlights: HOA Assessments pay for streetlights, please report streetlight<br />
outages to: www.centerpointenergy.com/services/electricity/residential/reportastreetlightoutage,<br />
you will need the six digit streetlight<br />
pole number and a nearby address when filing out the on line report.<br />

Mother’s Day - A day for MOM<br />
Mother’s Day has its roots in ancient Greek festivals honoring Rhea,<br />
the Mother of the Gods. The modern American holiday officially<br />
began in 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson declared the<br />
second Sunday in <strong>May</strong> a day to honor all the mothers. Here are<br />
some tips on celebrating Mother’s Day on <strong>May</strong> 14 th !<br />
1. Deliver the classic Mother’s Day treat: breakfast in bed on an<br />
old-fashioned wicker tray table. Cook her favorite morning fare,<br />
mix her an eye-opening mimosa and tuck her favorite flowers into<br />
a small crystal vase. If the tray has slots on the sides, fill them with<br />
small presents (or big presents in small packages).<br />
2. Take your mother on a trip with Mother’s Day sandwiched in<br />
the middle. Make it as simple as a long weekend at the beach or<br />
as elaborate as a trip across the States.<br />
3. Surprise your mother with a visit if she lives far away.<br />
4. Deliver her present by way of a treasure hunt. Lead her on as<br />
long a trail as you think she’ll find amusing, with her present<br />
waiting at the end.<br />
5. Honor your mother’s memory if she’s no longer living. Send a<br />
donation to her favorite charity or spend the day working for her<br />
favorite cause. Do things she taught you to love.<br />
6. Thank the women who produced your favorite people - send<br />
cards, flowers or notes to the mothers of your friends, even if<br />
you’ve never met them.<br />
7. Throw a Mother’s Day party for your mother, your friends<br />
and their mothers. Consider a festive spring brunch.<br />
8. Best tip: tell mom you love her.<br />

Mother’s Day History<br />
and Fun Facts<br />
Did you know that more<br />
phone calls are made on<br />
Mother’s Day than on any<br />
other day of the year? In<br />
fact, phone traffic has been<br />
known to spike by nearly<br />
40% on this holiday honoring<br />
motherhood.<br />
MOTHERS DAY<br />
Sunday, <strong>May</strong> 14 th<br />
It’s a traditional holiday that is observed throughout the world in different<br />
ways. In the U.S., mothers are most typically presented with flowers,<br />
cards and other gifts. (Though in 2016, about 55% of consumers took Mom<br />
out.) But since this is common knowledge, we wanted to go one step<br />
further and learn why Mother’s Day exists at all. Here’s what we learned.<br />
The History of Mother’s Day in America<br />
The American version of Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908. It became<br />
an official holiday just 6 years later in 1914. Anna Jarvis is credited<br />
with creating the U.S. holiday and leading the charge to have it officially<br />
added to the national calendar. She first conceived of the idea after the<br />
death of her mother, Anna Reeves Jarvis, in 1905. The story goes like this:<br />
• With financial backing from John Wanamaker - owner of the famous<br />
department store chain - she organized the first-ever celebration at a<br />
Methodist Church in Grafton, WV in <strong>May</strong> 1908. She wanted to recognize<br />
the sacrifices that mothers make for their children.<br />
• On that same day, thousands also attended a Mother’s Day event at a<br />
Wanamaker’s in Philadelphia.<br />
• Building on the success of that first Mother’s Day event, Jarvis began a<br />
6-year campaign to have it added to the national calendar. She argued<br />
that American holidays were biased towards male achievements.<br />
• By 1912 Mother’s Day had been widely adopted at the state and local<br />
levels.<br />
• In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure officially establishing<br />
the 2 nd Sunday in <strong>May</strong> as Mother’s Day.<br />

CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH and WELLNESS CENTER<br />
• Jarvis’ vision for Mother’s Day was a day of personal celebration. To<br />
her, the day involved wearing a white carnation in honor of mothers<br />
and visiting one’s mother or attending a church service.<br />
• Florists, greeting card companies and other retailers had other<br />
plans though and by 1920 Jarvis was fully disillusioned by what the<br />
holiday had become, going so far as to openly campaign against all<br />
Mother’s Day profiteers. She went on to file lawsuits against groups<br />
using the term “Mother’s Day” and spent most of her personal wealth<br />
in legal fees.<br />
• After pushing for 6 years to make the day official, Jarvis eventually<br />
disowned the holiday and actively lobbied to have it removed from<br />
the American calendar. This effort of course was unsuccessful.<br />
However, the holiday has also been used to advance feminist causes.<br />
For example, in the 1970’s women’s groups were known to use the<br />
attention generated by the holiday to create awareness for the need<br />
for equal rights and access to childcare.<br />
In many other parts of the world, the timing of Mother’s Day aligns more<br />
closely with the historical observance of “Mothering Sunday.” Largely<br />
a European tradition, Mothering Sunday fell on the fourth Sunday in<br />
Lent and was originally seen as a time when the faithful would return<br />
home to the church. Over time, the observance of Mothering Sunday<br />
faded and eventually merged with the secular traditions associated<br />
with the American Mother’s Day.<br />
Early Mother’s Day Incarnations<br />
While Anna Jarvis is credited with the official creation of the holiday,<br />
her mother - Anna Reeves Jarvis - is known for having founded<br />
“Mother’s Day Work Clubs” back in the 1860’s. The goal of these clubs<br />
was to teach local women how to properly care for their children…a<br />
tradition that is still in existence today with local Moms groups!<br />
Another similar effort aimed at united and celebrating mothers<br />
included Julia Ward Howe’s “Mother’s Day Proclamation,” a call to<br />
action for mothers to unite in promoting world peace. Howe later<br />
campaigned for a Mother’s Peace Day to be recognized every June<br />
2 nd . However, none of these or other efforts in the 1800’s ever caught<br />
on beyond the local level.<br />
Traditional Mother’s Day Celebrations<br />
The primary means of celebrating moms on Mother’s Day in the U.S.<br />
continues to be with flowers and other gifts. In fact, Anna Jarvis would<br />
be supremely disappointed to learn that it has become one of the<br />
biggest holidays for consumer spending.<br />
<strong>Lakeville</strong> | <strong>May</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
Mother’s Day Fun Facts<br />
• About 25% of all flowers purchased throughout the year are for<br />
Mother’s Day<br />
• Carnations are often associated with Mother’s Day - they are said<br />
to be made from the tears’ of Jesus’ mother Mary when she wept at<br />
his feet.<br />

NATURE’S CLEAN-UP CREW<br />
By Cheryl Conley, TWRC Wildlife Center<br />
You always know when an animal has met an untimely and unfortunate<br />
death when you see Black Vultures or Turkey Vultures. So how can you<br />
tell the difference? The Black Vulture has a featherless black-grey head<br />
while the Turkey Vulture has a featherless red head. In flight, the Black<br />
Vulture is distinguishable by white-tipped wings, whereas the majority<br />
of the underside of the Turkey Vulture is pale in color.<br />
Both species of vultures feed primarily on carrion. Most of what vultures<br />
eat would make any other animal very sick but they are strong animals<br />
with an incredible digestive system and a very strong immune system.<br />
Their stomachs are extremely acidic. They can usually survive eating<br />
carcasses infected with botulism, anthrax, cholera and salmonella.<br />
Some believe that vultures spread disease because they eat dead meat.<br />
Actually, the opposite is true. They rid our environment of what could<br />
potentially cause the spread of diseases.<br />
Turkey Vultures use their eyesight and keen sense of smell to find their<br />
food. By flying low, they are able to see dead animals and detect the<br />
gases produced when an animal begins to decay. They prefer to feed<br />
on animals that are recently dead. Black Vultures can’t smell but will<br />
often follow Turkey Vultures to find food.<br />
The breeding season of the turkey vulture starts in March, peaks in<br />
April to <strong>May</strong>, and continues into June. Interestingly, vultures don’t<br />
make nests. In most cases, females lay two eggs but have been known<br />
to lay one and rarely three. The eggs are whitish/cream colored and<br />
heavily marked with dark brown or lavender spots around the larger<br />
end. Eggs are generally laid on a bare surface in a protected location.<br />
TWRC receives many calls from the public reporting that a vulture took<br />
up residence in their atrium or on their front porch.<br />
Both parents incubate and the young hatch after 30 to 40 days. Chicks<br />
are altricial or helpless at birth. Both adults feed the chicks by regurgitating<br />
food for them and care for them for 10 to 11 weeks. When adults<br />
are threatened while nesting, they may flee or they may regurgitate<br />
on the intruder or feign death. If the chicks are threatened in the nest,<br />
they defend themselves by hissing and regurgitating. Family groups<br />
will remain together until fall.<br />
Although not endangered, vultures have been impacted by the use of<br />
lead bullets and buckshot used by hunters. If the shot animal is not<br />
removed or covered, vultures will consume the contaminated meat<br />
and become ill or die.<br />
Because of their eating habits and appearance, vultures would probably<br />
never win a “My Favorite Bird” contest or “Most Beautiful Bird” award<br />
but they play an important role in keeping our environment cleaner and<br />
definitely smelling better. Have you thanked a vulture today?<br />

GARDENING TIPS<br />
FOR MAY<br />
Warm weather means<br />
our gardens and landscapes<br />
are growing<br />
fast. Here are some<br />
tasks to keep your<br />
landscape beautiful<br />
and productive:<br />
Flowers: Time to plant<br />
summer blooming perennials<br />
and annuals including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane,<br />
lobularia, sunflowers, yellow bells, pride of Barbados, duranta<br />
and bat-faced cuphea.<br />
Vegetables: <strong>May</strong> is a great time to plant, from seed or nursery plants,<br />
okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter squash, pumpkins, basil,<br />
peppers, lima beans, eggplant, garlic chives and Malabar greens. If you<br />
don’t want to dedicate an area of your yard, consider planting here and<br />
there in your flowerbeds. Edible landscaping is a popular new trend!<br />
Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge or straight<br />
sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know how long<br />
to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”.<br />
Weeding: Hand pull or hoe weeds while they are still young or better<br />
yet, maintain a 3” layer of mulch in all vegetable and flowerbeds to<br />
deter weeds from getting a start.<br />
Pruning: Remove spent blooms on spring and summer annuals to<br />
promote new blooms.<br />
Fertilizing: Fertilize flowerbeds and vegetable gardens w/slow release<br />
organic fertilizer.<br />
Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent<br />
light sprinkling.<br />
Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-<strong>May</strong>. Clean bird feeders!<br />
Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito breeding<br />
spots.<br />

ANIMAL FOSTERS NEEDED<br />
Summer is almost here, children are out of school. What better time<br />
to get involved with a rescue group and help a dog or cat in need?<br />
That’s what fostering an animal is all about. Fostering is an important<br />
step in the transition from shelter/street to “happy ever after.” Loving<br />
Arms Pet Placement is a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats and<br />
is always in need of foster families.<br />
Dog fosters are needed immediately! We have a number of dogs<br />
boarding at the Kennel Klub who need a home environment to thrive.<br />
Fostering is the perfect opportunity for people who love animals, but<br />
are not ready for that long time commitment.<br />
Tell Loving Arms Pet Placement rescue in what capacity you can<br />
help. Can your home only accommodate small animals or can you<br />
foster big dogs? Can you handle puppies and kittens or only mature<br />
animals? Can you take more than one animal at once?<br />
10 <strong>Lakeville</strong> | <strong>May</strong> <strong>2017</strong>
There is a lot more to fostering than providing food, water and a safe<br />
place to sleep. To attract potential adopters, the animal must be<br />
people friendly. Include the animal in your daily home life inside your<br />
home. Get to know them as individuals so you can share personality<br />
traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes. Treat the animal like your own and<br />
train him/her, if possible.<br />
Many animals have been abandoned and have trust issues. Some<br />
animals are scared and need some good TLC. They need to learn what<br />
caring and patience are, that hands can be gentle and not hurtful. Do<br />
not keep the animal separate from other animals and your family.<br />
They need to observe and get acclimated before deciding to join in.<br />
Don’t chase or force an animal to cuddle or bond with you. Let them<br />
join in at their own speed. For cats, leave food and water - and a litter<br />
box - out for the cat. They will often come out at night when the house<br />
is quiet and will eventually interact with you.<br />
Foster care helps make animals more adoptable. Visit Loving Arms<br />
Pet Placement website at www.lovingarmspetplacement.com or<br />
visit us at Petsmart on Highway 6 and FM 529 each Saturday from<br />
11 AM until 5 PM.<br />

BABY BOOM<br />
By Cheryl Conley,<br />
TWRC Wildlife Center<br />
Spring is the time when animals are looking for secluded locations<br />
for giving birth and raising their babies. Sometimes these sites aren’t<br />
so “human-friendly” like attics, chimneys or in your garage. The BEST<br />
solution when this happens is to leave them alone until they move<br />
out but if you must move them, please use HUMANE methods to do<br />
so. If possible, postpone your tree trimming until later in the season.<br />
Squirrels, birds and raccoons nest in trees and you could easily displace<br />
baby animals by cutting down limbs and trees.<br />
Here are a few tips to help save the babies this spring:<br />
RE-NEST BABY BIRDS: If you’re like me, I was told growing up that<br />
one should never touch a baby bird because the mom will reject it.<br />
This is a myth. If you find a baby bird and it appears uninjured, place<br />
it back in the nest. If you can’t reach the nest, you can place the bird<br />
in a shallow basket or box and hang it as close to the nest as possible.<br />
In most cases, mom will continue to care for it. If the bird is injured<br />
or the mom isn’t feeding the baby, it’s time to intervene. Place the<br />
baby in a small, covered container and bring it as soon as possible<br />
to TWRC Wildlife Center. Do not attempt to feed it or give it water!<br />
RACCOONS IN THE ATTIC: If you can’t wait until mom moves out<br />
on her own, you can “encourage” her to move by leaving lights on in<br />
the area all night. Place a radio in the area and play it loudly. It may<br />
take a couple of days but she will soon tire of the light and the noise<br />
and move her little ones. Then MAKE SURE you repair the opening<br />
where she got in.<br />
One other helpful information about raccoons. During late spring<br />
and summer, you may see raccoons out during the day. Raccoons<br />
are nocturnal EXCEPT if they are nursing moms. It is not uncommon<br />
for females to be out during daylight hours looking for food. It does<br />
NOT mean she has rabies.<br />
FAWNS: It’s normal for a doe to “park” her fawn and leave it there for<br />
hours while she goes off to eat. The fawns instinctively know that they<br />
must stay there until she returns and unless she has been injured,<br />
she WILL return. Since fawns are odorless, predators are unable to<br />
pick up their scent. When the fawn is about a month old, it will begin<br />
traveling with mom but in the meantime, please LEAVE IT ALONE!<br />
11
BABY RABBITS: If the babies are not injured and the nest is intact, leave<br />
them alone. Just like a mama doe, rabbits only visit their young two to<br />
three times a day. Here’s a good test if you think the babies really have<br />
been orphaned. Use sticks or trigs and make an “X” over the nest. If,<br />
after 12 hours, the “X” is still in place, the bunnies are probably orphans<br />
and you need to bring them to TWRC for care. Do not attempt to feed<br />
them or give them water!<br />

NATIONAL BROWN-BAG IT DAY<br />
Happy National Brown-Bag-It Day! That’s right,<br />
<strong>May</strong> 25th is the day to celebrate the good old art<br />
of bringing your lunch from home. While checking<br />
out new places to eat by your office can be fun and<br />
sometimes grabbing a sandwich from the local deli<br />
feels like the easiest thing to do, packing your own<br />
lunch is a much healthier and less expensive choice.<br />
Even those healthy-seeming salads from the local<br />
cafe can hide some not-so-nutritious ingredients.<br />
Packing your own lunch for work may be more time<br />
consuming (although how long do you spend waiting<br />
in line at the sandwich shop?), but with some<br />
simple planning and a weekend trip to the grocery<br />
store, it can become an easy part of your routine.<br />
To help you on your way to a healthier lunchtime<br />
habit, we’ve created five easy lunch options for<br />
every day of the work week. With each bite, you’ll<br />
feed your body, calm your mind and rejuvenate for<br />
your afternoon!<br />
Brown Bag #1: Kale salad with radish greens and<br />
zesty lemon dressing<br />
After you’ve made it through your hectic Monday<br />
morning, treat yourself to this filling salad. Kale<br />
is an antioxidant-packed superfood that will help<br />
you detox from any weekend revelry, leaving your<br />
immune system recharged for the week ahead,<br />
while vitamin C-dense radish leaves rev up your<br />
immune system. This zesty lemon shallot dressing<br />
adds some inflammatory action for a revitalizing<br />
and nutritious lunch.<br />
Brown Bag #2: Avocado on toast with<br />
seaweed chips<br />
Spread some hummus on whole wheat or gluten-free<br />
toast, then add a few slices of nutrient-packed avocado.<br />
Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper and a dash of<br />
cayenne for a spicy metabolism boost. This goes<br />
great with fiber- and protein-rich seaweed chips.<br />
Brown Bag #3: Fruit salad with a side<br />
of mixed nuts<br />
For a middle-of-the-week energy boost, try this<br />
lunch of fruits and nuts. Choose immunity-boosting<br />
citrus, fiber-filled apples, potassium-packed<br />
bananas or antioxidant-dense berries. The natural<br />
sugars of the fruits will give you a steady energy<br />
boost. Go nuts with your nuts! Walnuts are filled<br />
with omega-3’s and antioxidants; almonds pack<br />
vitamin E, folic acid and tons of other vitamins<br />
and minerals; pistachios are high in fiber; cashews<br />
have bone-building magnesium; pecans can help<br />
ward off heart disease; Brazil nuts are bursting with<br />
selenium - and they’ll all give you enough protein<br />
to power through the afternoon.<br />
Brown Bag #4: Tomato-hummus sandwich<br />
paired with apple slices and almond butter<br />
This veggie sandwich swaps out the meat for a<br />
thick slice of heart-healthy tomato. Add a few slices<br />
of red or white onion and place between two slices<br />

over 2.7 million dollars. CFEF was established in 1970 as a non-profit<br />
to raise money to fund a scholarship for high school graduates in the<br />
area. Over the past 46 years, the Foundation has grown tremendously<br />
through the efforts of the Board of Trustees and the generosity of the<br />
Cy-Fair Community. The Foundation has awarded more than $7 million<br />
in scholarships to 1,400 graduating seniors. CFEF is a 501(c)3 non-profit<br />

cycle of poverty is not having access to quality education or having<br />
inadequate supplies for education. 145 million children in the world<br />
do not have access to education, yet children still dream of becoming<br />
doctors, lawyers and teachers. At ACTS of Wisdom we believe every<br />
child, everywhere, should have access to education and to teachers<br />
willing to take time to teach them. Our hope is that through bettering<br />
the education opportunities of children, we might be able to help end<br />
the cycle of poverty and begin to have peace in our world.<br />

MEMORIAL WEEKEND GETAWAYS<br />
Here are some celebrations across America that offered something<br />
special in honor of the Memorial Day holiday:<br />
ABOUT MEMORIAL DAY<br />
Reason We Celebrate Memorial Day: A day of remembrance for those<br />
who have died in our nation’s service.<br />
History of the Memorial Day Holiday (U.S.):<br />
• Originally called Decoration Day<br />
• Memorial Day Holiday was officially proclaimed on <strong>May</strong> 5, 1868<br />
by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army<br />
of the Republic<br />
• Memorial Day first observed on <strong>May</strong> 30, 1868<br />
• Congress changed the observed Memorial Day date in 1968 to the<br />
last Monday in <strong>May</strong> to ensure a three day weekend<br />
Formal Observance of Memorial Day:<br />
• Wear red poppies on Memorial day to honor those who died<br />
serving the United States during war<br />
• At 3 PM local time on Memorial Day, Americans should pause<br />
for a moment of silence or listen to “Taps”<br />
• Visit cemeteries and place flags or flowers on the graves<br />
of veterans for Memorial Day<br />
• Visit a memorial<br />
• Attend a Memorial Day parade to honor fallen heroes<br />
Informal Observance of Memorial Day:<br />
• Family and friends get together for a Picnic for Memorial Day<br />
• Memorial Day is unofficial kick-off of summer season<br />

Palm Springs, Calif.: For guaranteed summer weather<br />
While most beach seasons are just beginning, Memorial Day marks<br />
the end of bearable temps in the desert, so hotels and operators are<br />
running specials for the holiday. Though other parts of California<br />
will be in the midst of “<strong>May</strong> Gray” and “June Gloom,” Palm Springs<br />
still has nonstop sunshine-plus dozens of vintage shops, acclaimed<br />
restaurants and an enduring love for all things mid-century (its hotels<br />
and private homes offer some of the best examples of 1950s modern<br />
architecture in the country).<br />
Washington, D.C.: For patriotism, pomp and circumstance<br />
Washington D.C. is the most patriotic place to celebrate the holiday,<br />
with a parade and plenty of pomp and circumstance taking<br />
place during special military ceremonies. Arlington National Cemetery-which<br />
celebrated its 150 th anniversary in <strong>May</strong> 2014-hosts a<br />
wreath-laying ceremony at 11 AM on Memorial Day at the Tomb of the<br />
Unknowns accompanied by performances from the U.S. Navy Band.<br />
Saint Louis: For the ultimate treasure hunt<br />
Don’t miss the largest flea market in the Midwest, Gypsy Caravan,<br />
an annual Memorial Day event organized for the 44 th year by the St.<br />
Louis Symphony Volunteer Association.<br />
The Jersey Shore: For family fun and rides along the iconic Boardwalk<br />
Steel Pier, Atlantic City’s popular oceanside amusement park,<br />
debuted eight new rides in 2013. Outside Atlantic City, check out the<br />
annual Wildwoods International Kite Festival, the largest in North<br />
America, Friday thru Monday, an event that starts Friday at noon<br />
with the “Unlocking of the Ocean” media event.<br />
Austin: For boating season and outdoor fun<br />
Head to Lake Travis to soak up some of Austin’s best weather of the<br />
year, with plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the eighties. Memorial<br />
Day kicks off boating season here, so the place to be is the lake.<br />

PET INFORMATION<br />
SCOOPAGE PET POOPAGE<br />
It may not be a fabulous way to walk, but<br />
please have courtesy to please scoop when<br />
your pet poops during your walks. Throughout<br />
the community trails, you will find areas to toss<br />
your pet’s poopage and in some areas, there<br />
are also bags. Carry your own grocery bags -<br />
you’ll be recycling at the same time! Many of<br />
your neighbors work hard with their lawncare<br />
and landscaping. Come with a scooper and a<br />
recycled grocery bag or anything else. Picking<br />
up after your pets shows your respect for every<br />
homeowner and our beautiful community. Pet<br />
feces damages lawns and many residents are<br />
working hard to maintaining their grass!<br />
VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION<br />
(Formerly called Harris County Animal Control)<br />
The Veterinary Public Health Division posts<br />
photos of all animals found on their website<br />
and updates it twice daily. If you have lost your<br />
pet, please check this website,<br />
www.hcphes.org/vph.<br />
Have you lost a pet?<br />
Start your search immediately, don’t wait to<br />
make flyers.<br />
Contact all possible animal control or animal<br />
welfare agencies in the area. Visit each location<br />
at least every other day.<br />
Call your pet’s veterinarian and the microchip<br />
company to make sure they have current contact<br />
information for you. A citizen may try to call<br />
the veterinarian’s office or microchip company<br />
themselves from your pet’s tags.<br />
Call all the veterinarians in your area to alert<br />
them to the description of your lost pet in case<br />
someone brings it to their clinic.<br />
Check with your neighbors, especially families<br />
with childrenand ask if they’ve seen a pet that<br />
looks like yours.<br />
Search your neighborhood on foot, your pet<br />
maybe be nearby<br />
but is injured and unable to get back home.<br />
Leave a towel or article of clothing with your<br />
scent on it outside of your home. Your pet<br />
may be disorientated and will be attracted by<br />
your scent.<br />
Have you found a pet?<br />
First, think of the animal as lost and not<br />
abandoned and make every effort to reunite<br />
the animal to an owner.<br />
Contact the HCPH VPH office by telephone<br />
and report the animal as found.<br />
Bring the animal to the HCPH VPH facility or<br />
check with a local veterinarian to scan the<br />
animal for a microchip.<br />
<strong>Lakeville</strong> | <strong>May</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
Return to the place where you found the<br />
animal and put up a found pet poster near<br />
that location.<br />
If you find the owner, especially off a newspaper<br />
or website posting, ask them to provide<br />
a picture of the animal and meet in a public<br />
place like a police station.<br />
More information about Microchips<br />
& Microchip companies<br />
A microchip is a small device (size of a grain<br />
of rice) that is permanent and implanted with<br />
a needle under the skin of pets.<br />
Pets do not have to be given any pain medication<br />
or anesthesia<br />
to implant a microchip.<br />
Microchips are not likely to move or need<br />
repair if implanted correctly.<br />
Microchips, when scanned, show a unique<br />
code. The microchip must be registered with<br />
the corresponding microchip manufacture to<br />
record any owner and animal data.<br />
Microchips do not work like GPS locators or<br />
LoJack and cannot give a signal to find the<br />
location of your lost pet.<br />

HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW<br />
Animals that are not properly restrained pose<br />
a threat to all our residents. While you may<br />
know your pet is friendly, an animal running<br />
at someone who is walking by is very scary for<br />
that person. Many children are afraid of animals<br />
and become frightened, which could result in<br />
the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.<br />
Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris<br />
County Animal Control) advises that “All dogs<br />
and cats must be kept under restraint while<br />
in the unincorporated areas of Harris County,<br />
Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not<br />
authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed<br />
dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat<br />
to become a stray.”<br />
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or<br />
cat under the following circumstances:<br />
1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not<br />
more than six (6) feet in length, if the line or l<br />
eash is held by a human being, who is capable<br />
of controlling or governing the dog or cat in<br />
question<br />
2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle<br />
3. When it is on the premise of the custodian<br />
and the animal does not have access<br />
to sidewalk or street.”<br />
While it may be nice to have your animal out in<br />
the yard while you work or play, it is against the<br />
law, unless the animal is properly restrained.<br />
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and<br />
comfortable place for all our residents by being<br />
responsible pet owners. This will not only protect<br />
anyone who may be walking or bicycling<br />
in the area, but also the pet owner who could<br />
be held legally responsible or possibly sued<br />
for failing to properly restrain their pet. For a<br />
complete list of regulations, call<br />
281-999-3191 or visit www.hcphes.org/vph.<br />
CONSIDERING GETTING A NEW DOG?<br />
…or if you know friends and family who are,<br />
please consider and suggest rescuing vs.<br />
buying a dog from a breeder. We have every<br />
breed of purebred dog available in our Texas<br />
pounds and shelters, in great quantities.<br />
This is because of the complete lack of any<br />
regulations or limit on breeding in Texas.<br />
• Approximately 30-40% of euthanasias in<br />
pounds involve purebred animals.<br />
• Mixed breeds in Texas stand almost no<br />
chance of making it out of the pounds alive.<br />
There is absolutely nothing wrong with<br />
these dogs; they just had the misfortune of<br />
being owned by people who did not provide<br />
for their needs and care and obviously had<br />
no real commitment to their pet.<br />
• Countless numbers of people turn their<br />
own dogs in to high-kill shelters, dump<br />
them rurally in the middle of nowhere or let<br />
them roam and stray. It reflects a mentality<br />
that most dog lovers do not understand.<br />
• When you or someone you know considers<br />
adopting a dog, please check out one of our<br />
five local animal shelters:<br />
1. BARC - Bureau of Animal Regulation and<br />
Care i.e. Houston’s animal control or city<br />
pound<br />
2. Harris County Animal Control<br />
3. Houston SPCA<br />
4. Houston Humane Society<br />
5. CAP - Citizens for Animal Protection<br />

parents and friends to run with them. The free fun run is not only a<br />
great way for families to spend quality time together, but running is<br />
an exercise that parents can regularly do with their kids. The event<br />
will be held at the University of Houston-Downtown, Naylor Parking<br />

PREPARE FOR<br />
SUMMER HEAT NOW!<br />
We’re weeks away from sweltering temperatures,<br />
hurricane warnings and bug invasions. Before<br />
summer hits at full force, make sure you and your<br />
home are prepared:<br />
Give Your Air Conditioner a Checkup<br />
• Replace your air filter to make sure the whole<br />
system runs smoothly.<br />
• Clear debris on or around your vents or exhausts<br />
and clean off any dirt<br />
from the main unit outside.<br />
• Install programmable thermostats.<br />
Test for Ventilation Leaks<br />
• First, look for actual leaks: drafts in your windows and doors.<br />
• Check your attic insulation for leaks and gaps.<br />
Set Up a Barrier for Bugs<br />
• Check caulking around windows and doors, fix any drafts/gaps<br />
with new weather stripping and caulking.<br />
• Spray outdoor perimeter with a pesticide, along with baseboards,<br />
sinks, windows and doors. Change Your Ceiling Fan Direction<br />
• Run Ceiling Fans Counter-Clockwise for Summer Savings.<br />
Prevent Water Damage<br />
• Make sure your windows and doors are properly sealed and caulked, too.<br />
• Test gutters to look for water coming out of any places it shouldn’t.<br />
• Inspect your roof (remove any debris and leaves while you’re up there).<br />

In the FINALS, Fair Creek came out strong with constant pressure<br />
in Cinco Ranch’s defensive end of the ice. Fair Creek’s only 2 goals<br />
of the game were scored by Sam Robinson 8 seconds apart in the<br />
2 nd period. Fair Creek and Kingwood Senior Robinson’s 1 st goal was<br />
a one timer off a hustling Cy-Fair Junior Tyler McLeroy’s pinpoint<br />
pass. Robinson’s game winner came only 8 seconds later as he<br />
tallied his second goal from a lazer pass from Cy-Creek Senior<br />
Jaxon Sharp, which beat Cinco Ranch’s goalie Randy Miller. Miller<br />
was stout all night long stopping 35 shots and only allowing 2 to<br />
cross the goal line to keep Cinco in the game. Fair Creek ended up<br />
out shooting Cinco Ranch 37-13!<br />
This is Fair Creek’s 3 rd City Championship in the past 10 years….<br />
Jaxon Sharp’s 2 nd City Championship in his 4 year Varsity career,<br />
Tyler McLeroy’s 2 nd High School Championship (one with his JV team<br />
in 2015 and with this year’s Varsity Championship) and Caleb was<br />
the 3 rd Newport brother (joining Nathan and Noah) from Langham<br />
Creek to win a City Championship with the Fair Creek team.<br />

BOY SCOUTS<br />
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA<br />
COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />
For 100 years, Scouting programs have<br />
instilled in youth the values found in the<br />
Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these<br />
values are just as relevant in helping youth<br />
grow to their full potential as they were in<br />
1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic<br />
skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />
skills, outdoor skills and citizenship<br />
skills that influence their adult lives.<br />
The Boy Scouts of America provides youth<br />
with programs and activities that allow<br />
them to:<br />
• Try new things.<br />
• Provide service to others.<br />
• Build self-confidence.<br />
• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />
Scouting provides youth with a sense that<br />
they are important as individuals while<br />
promoting activities that lead to personal<br />
responsibility and high self-esteem. As a result,<br />
when hard decisions have to be made,<br />
peer pressure can be resisted and the right<br />
choices can be made.<br />
Scouting provides a rewarding experience<br />
for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through the<br />
local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and<br />
life skills which help our youth Be Prepared.<br />
Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston<br />
Area Counsel - Copperhead District<br />
which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />
to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to<br />
18 years old) and 10 Venturing units (boys<br />
and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically<br />
meet weekly.<br />
Many of our units are supported by the<br />
local Elementary Schools including: Birkes,<br />
