BE SURE ADDRESS is CLEAR FROM THE STREET 

County officials want to remind residents of the Ordinance 5.3 

requiring that addresses or building numbers be legible and visible 

from the street. The section states the numbers must be in 

Arabic numerals at least four inches in height and clearly visible. 

The number should be placed on, above or at the side of the main 

entrance so the number is clearly visible from the public right away. 

Whenever a home entrance is more than 50 feet from a public right 

away, a number should also be placed at the end of a driveway or 

property entrance. 

WATCH FOR KIDS WHILE DRIVING 

The roads are once again crawling with school busses, teenage 

drivers and kids in the crosswalk, so please slow down when going 

through the neighborhood. Now that kids will be back on their way 

to school, it’s time to double and triple check those intersections, 

just when you think it’s all systems go, a late for school student will 

magically appear out of nowhere and dart across the street when 

you least anticipate it. Thank you! 

BUDGET AND HOMEOWNER INPUT 

Your all-volunteer Board of Directors is here to serve you. Meetings 

are held monthly at the clubhouse on Greenhouse, always on the 

third Tuesday at 7:00 PM Please plan to attend in person and/or 

provide your input via email to MGMT@KPMmanagement.com or 

call 281-685-3090. 

Your input can be a driving force in the annual budget decisions, 

primarily helping the Board understand what the neighborhood 

would like to see in regards to future capital improvement projects. 

You can also influence all sorts of future decision making processes, 

simply by providing input at or before meetings. 

Finally, if you are truly interested in dedicating some of your time 

to our community, consider serving on the Board of Directors in 

the future. Let the management company know you are interested 

and if there is an interim opportunity, the Board might be able to 

elect you directly or you could get your name on the ballot for the 

annual meeting in February. See a need for a special committee 

or volunteer-driven project? Don’t hesitate to bring it up and help 

recruit additional help. 

PARKING CARS IN THE STREET 

We realize it is sometimes necessary to park your cars in the street. 

The neighborhood bylaws prohibit the parking of inoperable vehicles 

in the street and operable vehicles are expected to be regularly 

used/moved when parked there. We ask that you do your best to 

be aware of your neighbors’ driveways when parking streetside, so 

you do not block their ability to safely get in and out. Also, please 

try not to park directly across from a driveway, as this is a common 

cause of accidents. While we all should take extra caution when 

backing out, we are creatures of habit and we tend to get into a 

routine and in a hurry, so we might not notice that there is a new 

obstacle waiting for us across the street. That scene has played out 

on a number of occasions already. Thanks in advance for continuing 

to look out for each other. 

RECEIVE A DEED RESTRICTION VIOLATION LETTER? 

KPM Management is the company hired by our neighborhood association 

to manage many aspects of our deed-restricted community. 

They provide many accounting, administrative and consulting 

services that help to increase safety and maximize our property 

values, while working with the all-volunteer Board of Directors to 

keep our annual dues at a minimum. As a result, they are expected 

to patrol the neighborhood throughout the month, on varying days 

to look for deed restriction violations. In general, we ask them to 

generate the first “reminder” letter automatically when they see a 

violation or whenever they confirm one, which came from a neighbor 

complaint. If you have a unique situation, which might result 

in the need to temporarily violate the deed restrictions, please 

give them a call at 281-685-3090 and let them know the situation 

and the expected time frame, so we can avoid the issuance of any 

unnecessary letters. Keep in mind, occasionally mistakes are made 

and the wrong address receives a letter - the best thing to do in this 

and all other situations is to contact the management company to 

make them aware of the mistake and/or to let them know that you 

have either corrected the situation or need a temporary exemption 

from the covenant. 

For fairness’ sake, the Board of Directors asks the management 

company to call ‘em like they see ‘em, assuming they have received 

no advanced notice of extenuating circumstances, but in truth, they 

will not ever be able to identify every single possible violation on 

each and every drive through, nor do we think the scrutiny necessary 

for such is in the best interest of our community. The ultimate 

responsibility of the Board of Directors is to make decisions regarding 

situations where the homeowner simply refuses to comply 

with the community’s established covenants, in spite of repeated 

“reminder” attempts. We typically hope the individual can give us 

a defensible reason for giving an exception or temporary reprieve 

and the last thing any of us want is to be in conflict with any of our 

neighbors, but we are nonetheless tasked with the expectation that 

we uphold the community’s by-laws. With that said, on a typical 

week, less than 6% of the homeowners receive deed restriction 

letters and the vast majority have already taken or do quickly take 

action to correct them. 

As your fellow neighbors, we appreciate every one of you who have 

taken measures to correct any problems that may have arisen over 

the years. We also definitely appreciate your willingness to work 

with us to do whatever is in our community’s control to maintain 

the maximum possible property values for everyone. When we all 

work together, we minimize the cost and maximize the benefit for 

the community at large. Oh and by the way, no need to get offended 

if you do receive a letter, as many, if not most of us can relate to the 

experience for one reason or another. Thanks again!

MAILBOX TAMPERING 

When a mailbox is put into use for the purposes of sending and receiving 

mail, it becomes federal property. 

Mailbox tampering is considered any act that interferes with another 

person’s letter box or other receptacle. This can include: 

• destruction of the mailbox itself 

• theft of mailbox contents 

• the placement of items in a mail receptacle by persons 

other than postal employees 

• any action intended to obstruct or damage mail or mailbox property 

In short, anyone, other than mail recipients and postal employees, 

should NOT touch a mailbox or its contents. 

RECREATION CARDS 

Bear Creek Plantation residents will now be able to apply for a recreation 

card online at www.bcpcai.com through the community website. 

Our new application can be found, once logged in, under eforms. We 

will still accept applications which are emailed, mailed or faxed; they 

can be found on the website under documents. 

ATTENTION RESIDENT-BUSINESS OWNERS 

Do you have a professional service or product that the Homeowners’ 

Association can utilize for community improvements? If so, please let 

us know what you have to offer and we will do our best to use your 

business for future improvements to our neighborhood when needed. 

We would rather the money from the annual dues go to benefit our 

own neighbors when possible, rather than using an outside business 

or vendor. We’ll also be happy to publicize your business on our community 

Facebook page. 

BE AWARE OF THEFT POTENTIAL 

Many of us have a habit of leaving the garage door open when we are 

working or relaxing in the backyard. Unfortunately, people in virtually 

every neighborhood lose property to opportunistic thieves this way 

every year. Bicycles and power tools are just a few of the commonly 

stolen things and keep in mind that it only takes a matter of seconds 

for something of significant value to “walk away.” Please keep those 

doors down when you are not in eyesight of the garage. 

BARKING DOGS 

While it is true that dogs are born to bark, they were not born to bark 

all day and night, driving your neighbors crazy. If you have a dog that 

must stay outside, please do what you can to limit the disturbance to 

your neighbors. You can find loads of information about how to control 

it at www.barkingdogs.net. 

If you are one of the neighbors suffering from the seemingly endless 

noise of a neighbor’s barking dog, we hope that you will be able to 

speak with the owner about it. In many cases, the neighbor is unaware 

of the situation because, for one reason, they are away during the day. 

If the owner is unwilling or unable to do anything about it, you can call 

animal control at 281-999-3191 and have them do a check on the dog 

for possible neglect and abuse. (They won’t always come out for the 

barking alone.) The Sheriff’s Dept generally cannot do anything about 

it and they encourage you to call animal control as well. You can also 

find more information about the situation by looking on the website 

listed above. 

Ideally, the neighbors will be able to work out something mutually 

agreeable for everyone and every dog.

SCOOP YOUR PET’S POOP 

Please remember to be respectful of your neighbors’ yards and 

the community grounds. When you take your pet for a walk, 

come prepared with a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or 

anything else. If your pet poops during your walk, please scoop 

and trash. It may not be the most fabulous way to walk your pet, 

but it does show that you respect your fellow neighbors’ and our 

beautiful community. 

HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW 

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all 

our residents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an 

animal running at someone who is walking by is very scary for 

that person. Many children are afraid of animals and become 

frightened, which could result in the child getting hurt trying to 

avoid the animal. 

Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be 

kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris 

County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized 

to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow 

any dog or cat to become a stray.” 

3

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the 

following circumstances: 

1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) 

feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who 

is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal 

does not have access to sidewalk or street.” 

While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while 

you work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is 

properly restrained. 

Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place 

for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will 

not only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the 

area, but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible 

or possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet. 

To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly 

restrained please contact:

IRS TAX DEADLINE 

People have until Tuesday, April 17, 2018, to file their 2017 returns and 

pay any taxes due. The filing tax deadline is later this year due to several 

factors. The usual April 15 th deadline falls on Sunday this year, which 

would normally give taxpayers until at least the following Monday. 

However, Emancipation Day, a Washington, D.C., holiday, is observed 

on Monday, April 16 th , giving taxpayers nationwide an additional day 

to file. By law, Washington holidays impact tax deadlines for everyone 

in the same way federal holidays do. Taxpayers requesting an extension 

will have until Monday, Oct. 15, 2018, to file. 

The IRS expects more than 70 percent of taxpayers to get tax refunds 

this year. Last year, nearly 112 million refunds were issued, with an 

average refund of $2,895.

“I’m In PAIN” 

Can Chiropractic Help ME ? 

We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor 

of chiropractic can help my problem?” 

We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, 

including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation 

and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, 

(procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. 

We will make this special program available through April. 

The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation 

and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient. 

THESE CONDITIONS ARE SOME 

OF THE DANGER SIGNALS: 

281-855-2277 Headache 

Arthritic pain by stiff neck 

Loss of sleep 

Scoliosis (Curvature of the spine) 

Leg pain & numbness 

Arm pain & numbness 

Backache 

Fatigue 

Tension 

Whiplash Injury 

Reg. $ 187.00 Program

✓ X-rays, if necessary. 

✓ A thorough spinal examination including 

orthopedic & neurological test. 

✓ A confidential report of our findings. 

✓An explanation of our treatment procedure

GARAGE SALE TIPS 

• Some things you may want to consider selling are: clothing, books, 

linens (especially sheet sets or towel sets), costume jewelry, curtains 

and rods, cassette tapes, Christmas or other holiday items, 

glassware, kitchen items and tools. 

• If you haven’t used an item in a year or so, consider selling it. 

If it has been two or more years, SELL IT. 

• Clean items could be priced at about 30% of new retail, 

but that is only a guideline. 

• Old, stained (but clean) t-shirts make great rags. Bag them up 

and sell a bunch at a time. 

• Items with missing pieces or broken should be free - 

someone may want parts. 

• Display some of your more interesting items at the end 

of the driveway to lure people in. 


• Background music creates a relaxing atmosphere - pick middle 

of the road, easy listening. 

• If it is hot, have the kids sell cold soft drinks or have a water jug and paper 

cups handy. The longer you can keep customers, the more they will buy. 

• Have some “guy things” out front: an old lawn mower, some tools; set up 

a guy table with jars of screws and nails, electronic parts, fishing stuff, 

camping stuff, etc. 

• Your sale will be more successful if you take the time and make sure everything 

is clean and displayed well. During the sale, keep busy by filling in the empty 

spots on your tables by rearranging your stuff. 

• Have plastic grocery bags available to put sold items in; also, it’s a good idea 

to have newspaper handy to wrap breakable items. 

GOOD LUCK!

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great many pests that 

die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy 'loose' mulch that is trucked 

to your home, you are also buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more 

on bagged material and save lots of future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 

4" - 6" below the top of your homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in 

minimizing pests in your home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections. 

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12" - 18" 

back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is 18" - 24" wide 

around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow up next to the slab as 

long as you keep it 4" - 6" below the top of the slab. The most conducive to termite 

infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high against your homes exterior or 

(especially) ivy that grows on your walls. 

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray eliminates overwintering 

pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist the pest onslaught of summer 

with residual pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents 

most fungi from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a 

healthy winter's dormancy. 

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop brown patch 

in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin and weak in some areas, here 

are some important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control. 

Most important is proper watering: 

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2" rain or more - then do not water.) 

• Water heavily (1" - 2") for total lawn coverage. 

• In severe drought, water every 5th day. 

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT. 

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger 

and more drought resistant roots. 

• Less watering also saves you money!!

Nearly all children with 5p-Syndrome have 

poor muscle tone when they are young. Other 

characteristics may include feeding difficulties, 

delays in walking, hyperactivity, scoliosis 

and significant developmental delays. A small 

number of children are born with serious organ 

defects and other life threatening medical 

conditions, although most individuals with 5pcan 

anticipate a normal life expectancy. With 

early and consistent educational intervention, 

as well as physical and language therapy, 

children with 5p-Syndrome are capable of 

reaching their fullest potential and can lead 

full and meaningful lives. Children born with 

this very rare genetic defect will most likely 

require ongoing support for life, from a team of 

parents, therapists, medical and educational 

professionals to help the child achieve his or 

her maximum potential.

SPRING CLEANING YOUR HOME 

It’s 2018. A brand new year. A chance to start afresh, breathe in the new 

and make resolutions. While you’re feeling enthused about a year that’s 

new, now is the perfect time to look around your living space and start 

doing some spring cleaning. 

Gifts 

Are there any gifts you received over the holidays or for your birthdays over 

the years that you don’t like for whatever reason? Maybe they’re clothes 

that didn’t fit or perfume you didn’t like the smell of. Unless they hold 

sentimental value for you, let them go. Sell them. They’re taking up space. 

Jewelry 

If you have jewelry or lots of them, go through them all. Which ones still 

speak to you and which ones no longer do? Let go of the ones that don’t. It 

will also make you appreciate the ones you’ve decided to keep all the more. 

Books 

Go through your book collection. Get rid of the ones you’re truly never going 

to read. Consider gifting some of the ones you’ve read to someone else. 

Books are beautiful - the feel of them, the smell of them, being able to 

physically hold one, the turning over of a page. However, give some 

thought to whether there are some of your books you’d be willing to part 

with and instead, access their digital versions using an electronic reader 

like a Kindle or a Fire tablet. 

Magazines/CDs/DVDs 

Do you still have piles of old magazines, CDs, DVDs? Let them all go. If there 

are any that are of particular value, sell them and give the rest to charity. 

Appliances/Technology 

Most people have an appliance stored away that they have never used or 

hardly use. A coffee machine or smoothie maker, for instance. Any damaged 

ones you’ve been telling yourself you’ll fix one day or spare laptops 

or computers you rarely ever use can all be gotten rid of. 

Shoes/Clothes 

This is the last thing listed but is probably the first thing you should go 

through. However, you can build up to it by doing one of the things already 

listed. Unless you’re a minimalist, there are probably clothes and shoes of 

yours you can go through and say your goodbyes to. Challenge yourself 

to get rid of at least a quarter of it. For every three items you choose to 

keep, let go of one item. 

Spring cleaning can be freeing. You’re clearing energy. It can make your 

living space feel lighter and make you feel lighter too. Imagine how it’ll 

feel once you’ve finished spring cleaning your home, knowing that most 

of what you’ve chosen to keep is what you actually want. 

The New Year can also be a good time to start planning for any work you 

may want done on your home. If you live in an old building and plan on 

hiring someone to do the work for you, ensure they have the appropriate 

lead certification first.

CORNERSTONE UNITED 

METHODIST CHURCH 

18081 West Road, 281-859-4141,

HOLY WEEK WORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES 

Holy Week represents the last week of Jesus’ life on earth, beginning with his 

triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating with his 

glorious resurrection from the dead the following Sunday, Easter. This year 

Holy Week is from Sunday, April 9th through Sunday, April 16th. During this 

week, Cornerstone United Methodist Church will be offering a variety of worship 

and fellowship opportunities. You are invited to the following Holy Week 

worship opportunities for young and old alike planned at Cornerstone UMC: 

CHILDREN’S CHOIR 

The Children’s Choirs of Cornerstone United Methodist Church will be presenting 

their musical “Treasure Island” on Sunday, April 15th at the 10:45 AM service. 

Told with props, set and costumes, “Treasure Island” tells the story of a group 

of kids who have just arrived on Treasure Island and can’t wait to discover the 

treasure that’s in store for them. With the guidance of Captain Fisher and a 

map, they start out on an adventure seeking something more valuable than 

gold. Though Captain Fisher was once a pirate searching for the riches of this 

world, he now seeks God’s kingdom as a fisher of men. Captain Fisher teaches 

the kids that they should always pursue godly wisdom and eternal riches. Join 

this musical adventure as the children discover the everlasting value of storing 

up treasures in heaven and continually seeking God. 


YOUTH CHOIR 

The Youth Choir of Cornerstone United Methodist Church will be presenting their 

Spring musical “Christ in Every Season!” on Sunday, April 29th at the 10:45 AM 

service. The story of the Christian Faith is the story of God’s love in His redemption 

of humankind. The most important part of this story is the story of Jesus Christ. 

The Youth Choir will present the life of Christ in song in “Christ in Every Season,” 

as it is told in the various seasons of the Christian year. This includes Jesus’ birth, 

life, teachings, miracles, suffering, death, resurrection and His giving of the Holy 

Spirit. The Youth Choir will lead this worship event in singing Anthems, African 

Songs, Praise Songs, Spirituals and Hymns. 

THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES 

Cornerstone United Methodist Church will be offering to the community a 

study on Gary Chapman’s renown “The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love 

That Lasts” starting on Tuesday, April 10th at 7-8:15 PM. This study reveals 

how different people express love in different ways and contains the key 

to understanding each other’s unique needs. What speaks love to you may 

be meaningless to your spouse. Apply the right principles, learn the right 

language and soon you’ll know the profound satisfaction and joy of being 

able to express your love and feel truly loved in return. Each week the group 

will view a teaching by Dr. Chapman and have the opportunity to discuss the 

principles taught both in the small group and with your spouse. Singles are 

also welcome as there will be opportunity to apply the teaching to relationships 

with children, parents and other significant people in one’s life. Classes 

will last for 75 minutes and a nursery for preschool children will be available 

by advanced reservation. Each participant will need a small-group study 

book, which can be purchased from the church. The cost is $10 per book. 

ST. CUTHBERT CHURCH 

Easter Sunday, April 1st: we invite everyone to celebrate the risen Lord! Holy 

Communion and baptisms at 8 AM and Holy Communion at 10:30 AM. After 

each service there will be an Easter Egg hunt for all children.

ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON 

SCHOLA CANTORUM 

Do you want your children to become lifelong servants of the Church? Singing 

in a children’s choir is a great way to help that. The St. Elizabeth Ann 

Seton Schola Cantorum is currently accepting children Grades 4-12 for its 

after-school choir program. The choir is responsible for enriching the Mass on 

10:30 on Sundays and rehearses every Wednesday from 3:45-5 PM. Unique in 

the area, the choir focuses on singing music from the rich Catholic tradition, 

including chant and polyphony, as well as the finest modern church music. 

Time is devoted to building the children’s skills of music reading, vocal 

technique, thinking about the words and the structure and meaning of the 

Mass. Service hours are available for older students. For more information, 

please contact Dr. Douglas O’Neill at doneill@seascs.org.
