BRADFORD COLONY 1 & 2<br />
(BC1&2) NEWS FROM THE BOARD<br />
If you have received letter(s) from our management company<br />
regarding any deed violations, please do not ignore them. If<br />
you do not understand why your home is being cited for violations,<br />
please contact our management company representative<br />
and get details so you can take corrective actions. Not taking<br />
proper corrective actions will result in fines and if continued,<br />
will lead to legal actions. We do not want to use legal actions<br />
on neighbors but unfortunately, that may be the only thing that<br />
gets people’s attention. So please, instead of complaining, do<br />
something to help each other to make this place a pleasant<br />
neighborhood to live in.<br />
<strong>June</strong> 18 th is Father’s Day, a day we give honor to all fathers.<br />
Happy Father’s Day!<br />
<strong>June</strong> is the National Cataract Awareness month, Men’s Health<br />
month, National Safety month. <strong>June</strong> also celebrates the Summer<br />
Solstice on <strong>June</strong> 21 st .<br />
As always, if you have any suggestions, please let us know<br />
by contacting one of the Board members or our community<br />
manager. All residents are welcome to come to our monthly<br />
meeting-which is 2 nd Tuesday every month (<strong>June</strong> 13, <strong>2017</strong> and<br />
July 11, <strong>2017</strong>) at Kroger’s upstairs meeting area on Hwy6.<br />
BRADFORD COLONY SECTION 3<br />
(BCS3) BCS3 <strong>2017</strong> ANNUAL MEETING RESULTS<br />
Due to newsletter submission deadlines, we are not able to discuss<br />
the results of the Annual Meeting that was held on May 21 st . One<br />
Board position was up for election - these results will be posted in<br />
the July newsletter.<br />
Other issues pertaining to the various governing documents of the<br />
HOA were also discussed. Look for more information as to potential<br />
changes in these documents in future newsletters and flyers.<br />
The Board would like to thank all the residents who either attended<br />
the Annual Meeting or who submitted proxy forms to allow themselves<br />
to be counted for the meeting. Even in a neighborhood as<br />
small as ours (59 homes), the Annual meeting is an important and<br />
mandatory part of the HOA process.<br />
Failure to have an Annual Meeting with a quorum of attendees would<br />
result in the HOA not being able to take care of the issues that are<br />
important for our neighborhood to be able to “take care of business.”<br />
BCS3 residents - Thank you again for supporting the Board and<br />
the HOA!<br />
<strong>Colonies</strong> | <strong>June</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
(BCS3) <strong>2017</strong> ASSESSMENT UPDATE<br />
Note that as of April, 53 of the 59 property owners in BCS3 have<br />
either paid their <strong>2017</strong> assessment or are in an active payment plan.<br />
Note that collection activities up to and including legal action have<br />
been implemented for the delinquent property owners.<br />
This 90% payment rate is in line with past years’ payment patterns<br />
but still puts the HOA is a very good position financially at this time.<br />
The Board would like to thank everyone for handling this payment<br />
in a timely fashion. This is our only source of income for HOA related<br />
bills and expenses such as electricity for the light pools, landscaping,<br />
insurance, management fees and other issues.<br />
(BCS3) CONTACT THE BOARD<br />
As is the case with everything in our small neighborhood, every resident<br />
should feel free to contact any Board member as to any issue<br />
or question that you have about BCS3. Contact information for all<br />
the Board members is located on the inside cover of this publication.<br />

CHARLESTOWN COLONY<br />
(CHC) YARD OF THE MONTH<br />
Our neighbors of 5606 Towerglen Loop happily greet May with a<br />
multicolor of flowers waving gaily from their freshly mulched beds.<br />
Playing “ring-around-the-rosy” around the pines are burgundy<br />
chrysanthemums; neon orange impatiens, vincas morphing from<br />
red to rose to blush to white and little scarlet/green/cream mini<br />
elephant ears of caladiums. This house is the winner of May’s yardof-the-month<br />
prize ...a gift certificate to Home Depot for more yard<br />
work items (or whatever they please). Their home looks bright and<br />
clean and happy in the spring sunshine.<br />
It’s hard to believe that our Charlestown Colony was started in the<br />
1980’s and it has been nearly 30 years since we were brand new.<br />
Our families are starting to remodel and update their homes and<br />
yards and fences. Our neighborhood is looking fresher. It is lovely,<br />
also, that we have tall, established trees and shady sidewalks to<br />
stroll. Thomas Fuller wrote: “He that plants a tree loves others besides<br />
himself.” The same could be said about neighbors that tend<br />
greenery to beautify ALL of our landscapes. It lightens our moods<br />
to live with sunshine and flowers.<br />
(CHC) “HURRICANE SEASON”<br />
Hurricane season starts <strong>June</strong> 1 st . Do you know how to be prepared<br />
for a hurricane? There are countless websites that will help you<br />
be prepared. Read up on how much food and water should be on<br />
hand based on the number of people in your household. Remember<br />
canned goods require a manual can opener. Remember to fill<br />
bathtubs with water. While you may not want to drink water from<br />
a bathtub, this water can be used to flush toilets. Generators can<br />
never be found once a hurricane is in the Gulf. If you can afford a<br />
generator and have a place to store one, think ahead and get one early.<br />
Make sure to fill gas cans to run the generator. Camping equipment really<br />
comes in handy when the power is out. That camp stove will help<br />
cook the contents of your freezer so it doesn’t all go to waste! Camping<br />
lanterns shed a lot more light than flashlights. Some homes along the<br />
bayou have flooded in the past. Are you prepared? Remember that<br />
flood insurance has a 30 day waiting period. Once you have the proper<br />
amount of food/water per person and ever think to do laundry before<br />
a hurricane? This is not a common thought but is very good advice.<br />
When Hurricane Ike knocked out power for over 9 days to our area, clean<br />
clothes were a nice thing to have.<br />
(CHC) DEED RESTRICTIONS<br />
Did you ever get a letter regarding a deed restriction violation and think<br />
that your neighbor turned you in? Chances are your neighbor knows<br />
nothing about the deed restriction violation letter you received. While<br />
neighbors can contact PMG with a deed restriction complaint, most<br />
deed restriction violation letters are generated from the management<br />
company’s inspections of the neighborhood.<br />
Everyone talks about the “Deed Restrictions” but do you really know<br />
what they are? Deed Restrictions are a declaration of covenants, conditions<br />
and restrictions for the neighborhood. Deed restrictions are set<br />
up either when the neighborhood is platted out or shortly thereafter.<br />
Charlestown Colony has two sets of deed restrictions, one for the town<br />
home area (section one) and another for the single family homes (section<br />
two). These restrictions cover use of the homes as single family dwellings,<br />
to changes you can make to your home, the types of improvements,<br />
types of material storage of automobiles, boats, trailers, etc, animal<br />
husbandry, walls, fences and hedges, visual obstructions at intersections<br />
of public streets, maintenance of grounds, roofing materials, height of<br />
an antenna and more. The deed restrictions also govern membership<br />
and voting rights in the community; penalties, leans and enforcement.<br />
Deed restrictions are a very important document for homeowners to<br />
be familiar with. How do you get your copy? Contact our neighborhood<br />
management company, Principal Management Group of Houston, AAMC-<br />
An Associa® Company, www.pmghouston.com. Our area manager is<br />
Linda Bartel. She can be reached by email, l.bartel@pmghouston.com<br />
and by phone (Office: 713-329-7100, Direct: 713-329-7169).<br />
Trashcan violations are some of the most common violation letters.<br />
These fall under Section 15 of the deed restrictions; Visual Screening<br />
on Lots. This paragraph basically says anything stored on the property<br />
must be out of sight from a ground level view of neighboring lots. Trash<br />
cans must be behind a fence. If you have a clothesline in your back yard,<br />
it can’t be visible from the street level.<br />

Another problem neighbors encounter is parking. This is especially<br />
difficult as our children grow and get vehicles. The cars don’t all fit in<br />
the driveway. Section 9 of the deed restrictions states, “No boat trailer,<br />
boats, travel trailers, inoperative automobiles, campers or vehicles of<br />
any kind shall be stored in the driveway, public street right-of-way or<br />
in any location forward of the front building line. As used herein, the<br />
term “stored” is defined as exceeding twelve (12) hours out of any seventy-two<br />
(72) hour period.”<br />
A large number of cars parked on both sides of a street is a safety issue.<br />
Emergency vehicles (firetrucks and ambulances) need enough room to<br />
get by. School busses can also have difficulty when there are too many<br />
parked cars directly across from one-another. Yard vehicles with trailers<br />
have side-swiped cars parked on the street. The homeowner has little<br />
or no recourse because the offending vehicle is long gone before the<br />
homeowner is aware of the damage. Alternate side of the street parking<br />
is helpful. This is when cars parked on both sides of the street are offset<br />
from one another. Work together to keep the streets passable at all<br />
times by all vehicles.<br />
4 <strong>Colonies</strong> | <strong>June</strong> <strong>2017</strong>
(CHC) WATER!<br />
Scientist and space explorers get very excited when they find water<br />
on other planets as water is necessary for life. Water conservation<br />
is everyone’s responsibility. Our area is still under voluntary water<br />
restrictions. This means homes with even number addresses (on<br />
the north and east side of the streets) should only water outdoors<br />
on Wednesday and Sunday. Homes with odd number addresses<br />
(south and west side of the streets) should only water outdoors on<br />
Tuesday and Saturday.<br />
Ever hear water running in your home when you know there shouldn’t<br />
be water running? A big culprit is toilets. Everything can be ‘running’<br />
just fine but one flush and the flapper chain can settle between the<br />
flapper and its ‘seat’ causing the toilet to run continuously. Did you<br />
have a water bill that was unusually high? Check around for leaks.<br />
Could it be your sprinkler system? Shut the main house water valve<br />
off and then look at the meter by the street. If the small red triangle<br />
is turning, there is still water flowing. Don’t know where the main<br />
water shut-off for your house is located? Find it now before you need<br />
to find it in a panic. For most Neighborhood Classics built homes the<br />
main house shut off is in the front closet.<br />
Help protect the pipes in your house and the district by understanding<br />
what can be flushed down the drain (this includes toilets). While<br />
many commercial wipes say they are flushable, they are not. Many<br />
of these get clogged in pipes. Those that get past the pipes often get<br />
snagged in the district pumps. Dental floss should not go down the<br />
toilet. Dental floss will coil around the gears of the pumps (same thing<br />
as not putting celery down your disposal) resulting in damage to the<br />
pump. These are expensive pumps. Check out the funny video on the<br />
water districts website about what can and cannot go down the drain:<br />
www.hcmud102.org/author/admin. There is a wealth of information<br />
about water and trash collection on the MUD 102 web site.<br />
<strong>Colonies</strong> | <strong>June</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
Another reason the water bill might be higher is an increase in the<br />
WHCRWA fee. Keep up with what is going on with WHCRWA and the<br />
pipeline construction at their web site: www.whcrwa.com.<br />
(CHC) NOTES FROM THE BOARD<br />
Have you visited the park lately? Just driving by, the structures look<br />
refreshed and vibrant. The new mulch and plastic boarder are very<br />
nice. These are definitely softer to walk on. The last park update is a<br />
new, more comfortable bench to replace the old wooden one without<br />
a back. Take some time to relax. Visit the park. If you are enjoying the<br />
improvements, let a Board member know. The only compensation a<br />
volunteer gets is a word of thanks from someone who benefits from<br />
the effort put forth. Thank our volunteer Board members for the time<br />
they give to all of us.<br />
Do you have a project idea you think would improve the look of our<br />
neighborhood? Contact a Board member. They meet once a month<br />
or so to review the neighborhood and talk about what is needed.<br />
They would love to hear your ideas.<br />
(CHC) VACATION PLANS<br />
As summer gets into full swing and vacation plans are made, be sure<br />
to let a trusted neighbor know when you will be away. Remember<br />
to stop the mail (can be done online at https://holdmail.usps.com/<br />
holdmail/ or at the post office, 3 day minimum). Either stop newspaper<br />
delivery (https://myaccount.houstonchronicle.com/Login.aspx<br />
and log into your account) or arrange for someone to keep them<br />
from collecting in front of your house. There no longer is a credit for<br />
undelivered newspapers. Our experience is that the newspaper never<br />
stopped coming, even though we requested a stop so we just have<br />
someone pick up the newspaper. There is a great video online at<br />
www.howcast.com/videos/369734-How-to-Secure-Your-Home-while-<br />
Youre-on-Vacation with some simple tips on securing your home. One<br />
simple suggestion you might not think of is to lock your garage doors<br />
5
®<br />
from the inside, then unplug the garage door opener. This prevents<br />
someone from using a decoder and entering your garage and home.<br />
Planning a “stay-cation?” Don’t forget all the great things to do and see<br />
right here in the Houston/Galveston area. There are outdoor activities<br />
(pools, water parks, baseball games, the Zoo, Miller Outdoor Theater<br />
(free! but donations accepted) as well as indoor activities with museums<br />
for all ages and interests.<br />
(CHC) SEEKING REPLACEMENT NEWSLETTER AUTHOR<br />
Our resident newsletter author has been at the job for the past ten years.<br />
(Yes, 10 years. More than many people have lived in the subdivision.)<br />
While this author has lots of experience and older copies of newsletter<br />
to draw on for content, this author feels it is time for a new voice. Do<br />
you like to write? Have a few spare hours early in the month? Are you<br />
active in the local community and have information to share? Contact<br />
the CCCIA Board using their contact information in the Important<br />
Numbers section of this publication. The volunteer position (all the<br />
neighborhood positions are volunteer) takes as long or as short as you<br />
want depending on how much you write and the topics you decide<br />
to research and present. All newsletters are sent to the Board prior to<br />
publication. Our “retired” author would be happy to show you what<br />
has been done in the past.<br />
Serving your community<br />
for over 20 Years!<br />
CONCORD COLONY<br />
(CC) GARAGE SALES<br />
Concord Colony residents are not to have more than two garage sales<br />
per year.<br />
(CC) HOA REQUEST<br />
Dear Concord Colony Residents,<br />
Your Board of Directors and Community Manager strive to make this<br />
community look its best at all times. We are asking you to please take<br />
a good look at the exterior of your home and yard. Landscape your<br />
flowerbeds if needed, trim your trees and bushes if needed and also<br />
reduce the clutter. If the paint on your home is chipping or fading, please<br />
consider repainting (approved colors only). However, before you start<br />
painting, you must submit an ACC application to the management<br />
company for review.<br />
If you have any questions or need an ACC application please do not<br />
hesitate to contact your community manager, Linda Bartel, at 713-329-<br />
7100 or by email at l.bartel@pmghouston.com.<br />
Thank you in advance.<br />
(CC) HOA MEETING<br />
Our meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month at the MUD<br />
#102 Building which is located at 15300 Falmouth Ave. under the <strong>Colonies</strong><br />
Water Tower. Watch for our meeting notice signs posted throughout<br />
our neighborhood. We encourage you to attend.<br />
(CC) STREET LIGHTS<br />
If a street light is out or remains on all the time, get the numbers off the<br />
pole, address and call Centerpoint Energy at 713-207- 2222 or go to www.<br />
centerpointenergy.com/outage and you can report the issue online.<br />
(CC) COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT CONTACT<br />
Each and all of the residents in Concord Colony should feel free to contact<br />
your community manager with concerns, questions or an issue in<br />
Concord Colony. The contact information for your community manager<br />
is located inside the back cover of the newsletter under “Important<br />
Colony Numbers.”<br />
6 <strong>Colonies</strong> | <strong>June</strong> <strong>2017</strong>
(CC) DEED RESTRICTIONS<br />
Please remember that deed restrictions are strongly enforced and any<br />
outside construction or major landscaping changes to your home must be<br />
approved by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). ACC contact information<br />
for Concord Colony is on the inside back cover of this newsletter.<br />
GEORGETOWN COLONY I<br />
(GC1) GARBAGE CANS<br />
Many neighbors have been storing their garbage cans in view from<br />
the street. This is in violation of the deed restrictions and appropriate<br />
actions are subject to corrective action.<br />
Also, please remember to place garbage curbside after 6 PM, the night<br />
before pickup.<br />
(GC1) GARAGE SALES<br />
According to the State Comptroller’s office, garage sales are permitted<br />
only twice annually. If more than that, it will be assumed that a business<br />
is being operated out of home, which is in direct violation of the deed<br />

(GC1) LOST AND FOUND PETS<br />
The first thing to do if you find a lost dog that does not have a tag, is to<br />
take it to any vet’s clinic or Petsmart and have it scanned for a micro chip.<br />
This is the fastest way to get the dog back to its owner. If it does not<br />
have a micro chip, please look for signs to make sure the dog gets back<br />
to its rightful owner. A dog that is left to wander is subject to being hit<br />
by a car, abuse or starving to death. Those of you who are dog owners,<br />
please be sure to keep a collar and tag on it at all times. Even if the dog<br />
is micro chipped, it is much easier to return the dog to you if it has your<br />
contact information on a tag.<br />

(YTC) YARD OF THE MONTH<br />
Congratulations to 6614 Silver Popular for your beautiful<br />
yard. We enjoy seeing your beautiful flowers and<br />
well-kept yard. Enjoy your $50 gift card.<br />
(YTC) TRASH TALK<br />
Please do not put your trash out before 6 PM the day before pick up, also we are<br />
asking if possible, all items be in a trash receptacle, this will keep the animals from<br />
getting into the bags left out by the curb. Remember to remove the cans from the<br />
curb the same day as pickup.<br />
(YTC) DOG WALKERS<br />
Please remember while out walking your dog(s) to pick up after them. There is<br />
nothing like walking through your own yard or one of the common areas and finding<br />
the “gift” your dog left behind. So, the next time you take Fido out for a walk, be<br />
prepared and grab a bag on the way out.<br />
(YTC) STRAY CATS<br />
If you haven’t noticed, there is an abundance of “stray cats” running free in the<br />
neighborhood. If you have an outdoor cat that is your pet, be sure it has a collar<br />
with your information, without a collar, there is no way to tell your pet from a stray.<br />
Some of our neighbors are not fond of cats and will call Veterinary Public Health<br />
(formerly called Harris County Animal Control), 281-999-3191 that will come pick up<br />
these strays and if your pet is picked up by mistake or doesn’t return home you will<br />
need to call and ask about your pet, they will not call you. If a homeowner traps a<br />
cat with a collar, please call the owner or release it.<br />
(YTC) HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW<br />
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. Many<br />
children and some adults are afraid of animals and become frightened when they<br />
see a dog not being properly restrained running towards them. The Law states that<br />
all dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas<br />
of HC. Restraint is defined as “having control of the dog or cat under these circumstances:<br />
When the animal is controlled by a line or leash not more than 6 feet in<br />
length and being held by a person who is capable of controlling the animal and or<br />
riding in a fully enclosed car. While it may be nice to have your animal out in your<br />
yard while you are working or playing, it is against the law, unless your animal is<br />
properly restrained. Keep us all safe and keep your animals restrained.<br />
(YTC) CRIME REPORTS<br />
We are now getting crime reports from the MUD #102 for April.<br />

SPLASH! PROGRAMS/EVENTS<br />
The Cypress-Fairbanks ISD Splash! program offers swim<br />
lessons periodically throughout the year. All lessons are<br />
based on the American Red Cross Learn to Swim program<br />
and the program is supervised by WSI Certified instructors.<br />
Whether your child is brand new to the water or they are<br />
swimming laps, our instructors have the unique ability to<br />
build on the skills your child already possesses. We have<br />
three options for group lessons: Level 1 (Introduction to<br />
Water Skills), Level 2 (Fundamental Aquatic Skills) and Level<br />
3 (Stroke Development).<br />
We also offer private lessons for younger students (under 4<br />
yrs), for students whose skills are greater than our Level 3<br />
curriculum and for adults over 18 who would like to learn<br />
the basics.<br />
Open lanes are for participants to work on stroke, time and<br />
conditioning individually. A great way to reinforce skills that<br />
have been achieved! While an instructor and lifeguard are<br />
present, this is not a lesson. (instructor approval required)<br />
Children with special needs are also welcome! We will work<br />
with both the parents and child to find the best fit where he<br />
or she will be most successful in the program. For pricing,<br />
schedule and registration form, visit www.cfisd.net.<br />

Texas Christian School, home of the Tigers, was given the highest honor<br />
by receiving the title of “2016-<strong>2017</strong> School of the Year” This award was<br />
given to TCS because of the academic and athletic accomplishments<br />
the students have received this school year. Students won awards in<br />
the Houston Rodeo Art, Speech Meet, Math Competition, Football State<br />
Champs, Tennis State Champs, Basketball State Runner Up, 1 st and 3 rd<br />

EPIPHANY LUTHERAN SCHOOL<br />
As we close out another school year here at Epiphany Lutheran, we<br />
strive to end the year just as strong as we started it. Our middle school<br />
students have successfully competed against several other Lutheran<br />
school teams at Bible Bowl and brought home a first-place championship<br />
trophy!<br />
Our small classroom size allows us to intentionally invest in our students’<br />
lives to help them grow in their self-esteem, their confidence<br />
but most importantly their love of Jesus. Our 15 eighth grade graduates<br />
will transfer into their public and private high school years with a solid<br />
educational foundation combined with a love of Christ that will help<br />
carry them through the next chapter in their lives.<br />

PET INFORMATION<br />
SCHOOL’S OUT - CAN WE HAVE A PET?<br />
Summer is here, children are out of school<br />
and may need a project. What better time to<br />
get involved with a rescue group and help a<br />
dog or cat in need? That’s what fostering an<br />
animal is all about. Fostering is an important<br />
step in the transition from shelter/street to<br />
“happy ever after.” Loving Arms Pet Placement<br />
is a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats and<br />
is always in need of foster families.<br />
There is a lot more to fostering than providing<br />
food, water and a safe place to sleep. To<br />
attract potential adopters, the animal must<br />
be people friendly. Include the animal in<br />
your daily home life inside your home. Get to<br />
know them as individuals so you can share<br />
personality traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes.<br />
Treat the animal like your own and train him/<br />
her, if possible.<br />
Tell Loving Arms Pet Placement rescue in<br />
what capacity you can help. Can your home<br />
only accommodate small animals or can you<br />
foster big dogs? Can you handle puppies and<br />
kittens or only mature animals? Can you take<br />
more than one animal at once?<br />
Visit Loving Arms Pet Placement website at<br />
www.lovingarmspetplacement.com or visit<br />
us at Petsmart on Highway 6 and FM 529<br />
each Saturday from 11 AM until 5 PM.•<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 />

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 />
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<br />
for that person. Many children are afraid of<br />
animals and become frightened, which could<br />
result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid<br />
the animal.<br />
Harris County Animal Control advises, “All<br />
dogs and cats must be kept under restraint<br />
while in the unincorporated areas of Harris<br />
County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat<br />
is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any<br />
unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog<br />
or cat to become a stray.”<br />
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog<br />
or 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<br />
or leash is held by a human being, who is<br />
capable of controlling or governing the dog<br />
or cat in 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 to sidewalk<br />
or street.”<br />
While it may be nice to have your animal<br />
out in the yard while you work or play, it is<br />
against the law, unless the animal is properly<br />
restrained.<br />
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and<br />
comfortable place for all our residents by<br />
being responsible pet owners. This will not<br />
only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling<br />
in the area, but also the pet owner who<br />
could be held legally responsible or possibly<br />
sued for failing to properly restrain their pet.<br />
To make a complaint or report an animal that<br />
is not properly restrained please contact:<br />

5 STEPS TO A<br />
HAPPIER HEALTHIER PET<br />
1. Protect your pet from extreme weather<br />
(heat, cold, rain, etc.).<br />
2. Keep indoors or in a fenced yard and on<br />
a leash when walked.<br />
3. Make sure they’re up to date with<br />
vaccinations.<br />
4. Always make sure they’re wearing identification,<br />
so they can be returned to you if lost.<br />
5. Spay or neuter your pet.<br />
Texas Lab Rescue has labs available that are<br />
waiting to go to their forever home. Please<br />
check out their website at txlabrescue.org.<br />
PREVENT EXCESSIVE BARKING!<br />
Dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and<br />
restless. Many find relief in barking. Some respond<br />
noisily to any and all activity. Nothing<br />
is as annoying as incessant barking-even for<br />
dog lovers. If your dog is a yapper or a yowler,<br />
please consider some of these bark-abatement<br />
ideas to keep the noise down in your<br />
area. Your neighbors will thank you!<br />
• Training. Training not only helps your dog,<br />
you’ll be surprised how much it helps you,<br />
too. You may get some insight into why your<br />
dog barks so much, or what it is trying to<br />
communicate.<br />
• Citronella collars.<br />
• Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing<br />
an outspoken dog indoors or confining it<br />
to a crate cuts down on the disturbance to<br />
neighbors.<br />
• For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close<br />
drapes to help muffle street noise, or leave<br />
a radio on to mask it.<br />
• Companionship. Dogs are pack animals;<br />
they need companionship-a cat, bird or<br />
another dog. Consider a mid-day visit from<br />
a pet-sitting service or drop your pooch off<br />
at a friend’s place or a day-care facility once<br />
or twice a week.<br />

Featured Recipes<br />

My name is Benedicte Guillaume and I am French. I arrived with my<br />
family last summer and live in LOE. I would like to share with you one<br />
of my favorite summer recipes of taboulleh. It’s a tasty Moroccan<br />
taboulleh, different from the Lebanese taboulleh (with a lot of herbs<br />
and bulgur). It’s perfect for dinner with a slice of meat and a cup of<br />
fresh gazpacho.<br />
MON TABOULE GOURMAND<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 1/4 cup of golden Couscous - no need to pre-cook it.<br />
4 Roma Tomatoes<br />
1/2 cucumber<br />
1 red bell pepper<br />
1 green bell pepper<br />
1 small red onion<br />
1 soup ladle of olive oil<br />
2 lemon juice<br />
1 tablespoon parsley<br />
Salt/pepper to taste<br />
Directions:<br />
Peel the peppers and the cucumber. Finely dice all the vegetables.<br />
Mix all the ingredients in a large salad bowl. Put in the fridge for 2<br />
hours. Before serving, you may add some mint leaves. And then, bon<br />
appetite!<br />
CLASSIC TEXAS CAVIAR<br />
“Don’t bother with soaking and cooking beans for Classic Texas<br />
Caviar - the canned variety works well. But skip the bottled dressing<br />
and take a little extra time to measure your own vinegar, oil and<br />
spices.”<br />
Ingredients:<br />
2 (15.8 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, drained<br />
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained<br />
2 fresh medium jalapenos, stemmed, seeded and minced<br />
1 small onion, cut into small dice<br />
1/2 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and diced small<br />
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro<br />
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar<br />
6 tablespoons olive oil (not extra virgin)<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper<br />
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
1 teaspoon dried oregano<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin<br />
Directions:<br />
Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate 2 hours<br />
or up to 2 days. Before serving, adjust seasonings to taste, adding<br />
extra vinegar, salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl.<br />
