Gardening Tips For November
• Brown patch will continue to plague St. Augustine lawns as nights get cooler and humidity and rain continue. Discolored circles will appear in low
areas almost overnight. Apply a fungicide recommended for brown patch according to label directions. Avoid walking through brown-patched turf.
It spreads easily from the bottom of your shoes. If brown patch appears in the same lawn areas every year, add an inch or two of sandy topsoil to
eliminate those low spots.
• Fertilize St. Augustine turf with a winterizing formula to promote root growth over the winter months. Lower your lawn mover blades now and mow
on a schedule that cuts no more than one-third of the grass blade away.
• As chrysanthemums and other perennials finish blooming, cut flowering stalks to the ground to permit all strength to be used in making root growth.
• Feed roses lightly, but avoid nitrogen fertilizers. Do not prune now. Keep up spraying program and water deeply.
• Remove dead foliage and plant debris to help eradicate insects and disease organisms. Thin out and transfer volunteer seedlings. Beds made now
will benefit by weathering before being planted. If soil is heavy, dig six inches deep, leave rough, cover with gymsum and strawy manure, water and
allow to mellow.
• Bananas are more likely to bear fruit if the trunk does not die back in winter. Cut banana stalks back to six feet, wrap with newspaper and burlap.
• Continue mulching for winter. Build up a thick top mulch to protect roots from freezing and winter drying. Don’t throw away those pine tree needles;
they make great acidic mulch for azaleas, gardenias and next Spring’s impatiens.
• Place pansies in beds after weather has cooled. Use a little blood meat mixed in soil under each plant.
• Now is the best time to plant trees and shrubs.

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY:
Report any and all suspicious activity to S.E.A.L. Security - 281-749-1300
as well as the Sheriff’s office.
SAFETY AND SECURITY TIPS FROM
S.E.A.L. SECURITY SOLUTIONS
KEEP YOURSELF FROM BECOMING A “SLIDING” VICTIM
“Sliding” is on the rise. Learn how to prevent yourself from becoming a
victim. It’s a crime of opportunity mostly affecting women because they
carry purses. Thieves look for easy targets in supermarket and big-box
store parking lots as well as at gas stations.
Stores: Thieves prowl store parking lots, often in vehicles with temporary
(paper) license plates that are fake and thus untraceable. There will typically
be both a driver and a passenger. They look for shoppers who are about to
load groceries or other purchases into the back of their vehicle and then
watch for where the victim has placed her purse. Whether it’s in the shopping
cart or placed up front in the vehicle, both locations make it easy for the
criminal to get out of their own vehicle, quietly and nonchalantly, then open
the front door or grab the purse from the shopping cart – then they jump
back in the waiting vehicle and take off, if they were seen or close the door
quietly and leave slowly so as not to attract attention if they weren’t. Even
at stores with good surveillance systems in the parking lot, these crimes are
often never solved because those paper license plates are untraceable.
• Keep your purse or other valuables on your person.
• NEVER leave your purse or wallet sitting in the shopping cart - even if
you’re right there, in between the cart and your trunk. It only takes a
couple of seconds, while you’re carefully placing a bag of groceries in
your trunk, for someone to grab your purse without you even knowing it.
• If you still choose to leave your purse in the passenger compartment,
place it under the seat where it can’t be readily seen.
• And even if you place it under the seat, LOCK YOUR DOORS when you
exit the vehicle. You may need to momentarily unlock the doors to then
open the trunk or your fuel filler’s flap - but after you do that, LOCK YOUR
DOORS AGAIN. IMMEDIATELY.
Gas Stations: At gas stations, the modus operandi is much the same: the
thieves appear to pull up and get gas at the pump across from the victim.
And when she’s not looking, they grab her purse from the front seat and take
off. Speaking of not looking, stay off the phone while pumping gas. Make it
obvious that you are watching your vehicle and other people nearby.
Preparation: Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. If you do leave
your purse in the front of the vehicle, don’t leave your phone in your purse.
(Since phones are now so easily traceable, the thieves will most likely destroy
and/or discard it right away. That’s one more hassle you don’t need.)
• Keep spare keys to your home or vehicle with a trusted neighbor,
relative, at work, etc.
• Take photos or make a photocopy of all your credit/debit cards, driver’s
license, etc. (front and back), that you normally keep in your purse or
wallet and keep those copies someplace safe, such as at home. That
way, if they are lost or stolen, you will more easily be able to inform the
companies and authorities.
Prevention: Be aware of all those around you. MAKE EYE CONTACT so
potential thieves know they have been seen.
Governor’s Place Hotline 281-749-1300
STREET PARKING
To help avoid trash not being picked up, please do not park your vehicles
in the street on Trash days (Tuesday and Friday). When multiple vehicles
are parked in the street, the truck is unable to get through. Thank you in
advance for your assistance with this matter.
ACC FORMS
Approval from the Architectural Control Committee is required prior to
making any modifications to the exterior of your property. This includes
but is not limited to installation of trampolines, playsets, storage sheds,
room additions, patio covers, repainting your home, trim or front door
even if using the same color. An Exterior Modification Request Form can
be submitted electronically at www.crest-management.com by clicking
on Exterior Modification Request Form on the homepage. Please note you
do not need to log in to complete the application. Once you select your
project type, it will notify of items required to complete your application.
If you prefer a paper application, please contact Crest Management at
281-579-0761 and it can be mailed to you.
DOGGIE DON’TS
Most of our dog owners are responsible, using a leash and picking up
after your pets. We thank you!
HOWEVER - We have received reports of dog owners allowing their dogs
to defecate and urinate in yards. This is especially a problem in hightraffic
areas near park entrances. Be aware that it is not just your dog.
Once a yard has been “used,” other dogs want to do so as well. A resident
should not have to pick up after even one dog, much less ten. In addition,
runners and walkers in our parks don’t enjoy dodging excrement. Please
carry a bag and pick up after your pet.
Remember also, that even the sweetest dog may seem intimidating to
some people. Respect their rights and comply with leash laws.
PARKING LAWS WILL BE ENFORCED
As many residents have noticed, cars parking in the wrong direction
on the side of the road has become an increasing problem throughout
the community. The officers that patrol the neighborhood have been
giving warnings for this, but will begin issuing tickets. Please utilize your
driveway and garage and when parking on the street is necessary, please
park in the same direction as traffic.
Additional parking problems have occurred at the tennis and clubhouse
parking lots. As a result, the Board has adopted a Common Area Parking
and Tow Policy. The Policy has been filed in the official public records
with the Harris County Clerk and is available by visiting www.crestmanagement.com,
clicking on Communities and selecting Governors
Place. Towing will be enforced.
DEED RESTRICTION REMINDER
If you plan on making a change to your home/yard, please fill out a
Request for Home Improvement - Governor’s Place form. Please view
the form at our website and download the form to submit to Crest
Management.
• Cars may not be parked on the front lawn of your property.
• Trailers, boats, RVs, recreational vehicles must be stored out of view of
the street.
• Remember that our streets are very narrow and utilize your driveway
to park cars.
• Store trash cans out of street view.
• Now is the time to start cleaning out gutters and roof tops to get rid of
pine needles and leaves.
• We urge parents to advise your children to ride scooters and electric
toys on the sidewalks, NOT in the streets. There have been too many
near misses reported and we don’t want a child to “learn their lesson”
the hard way by being hit by a car.

CRIME REPORTING
Together as a community we must always be alert for both ourselves
and our neighbors. Please phone (713-221-6000) the sheriff for anything
suspicious; robbery, suspicious looking people, speeding, etc.
WASTE REMOVAL
Please remember not to place your garbage out any sooner than the night
before the scheduled pick-up day. After pick-up, all garbage cans should
be kept out of public view. They should not be kept in front of garages,
in the front yards of any home or on the side of any home. Please make
every effort to conceal the trashcans from public view on non-trash days.
On a side note we should be putting all trash in bags and not directly in
bins as this creates a problem for everyone. Governors Place is our home
and we like to keep it nice. If you spot trash in the area, please pick it up
and to ensure our beautiful community stays as such.
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
Parking recreational vehicles in the community is a violation of the
governing rules and regulations. We understand this is the time of year
vacations and family visits are planned, so if you will take a moment to
call Crest Management at 281-579-0761 to notify us as to when you will
have your recreational vehicle(s) in the driveway, we will give you 1 to
2 days grace period. We understand people have to live, that is why we
want to open the lines of communication. If we do not hear from you
and your vehicle(s) are noticed on our regular inspection, don’t get
upset when you receive a citation. Again, we will only allow parking of
recreational vehicles for a short period of 1 to 2 days.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PARKING
Although the streets in Governors Place are public, we are receiving
numerous complaints regarding parking of personal vehicles and
commercial vehicles in the streets. The parking of COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
within the community is RESTRICTED in the governing documents and
fines will be assessed. Please try to utilize your driveways as much as
possible when parking your personal vehicles.
STREET LIGHT MAINTENANCE
To report a streetlight that is not working, call Reliant Energy at 713-207-
2222. You need to report both the number on the base of the pole and
the street address.

Independent
School District

KATY ISD LAUNCHES NEW ANONYMOUS
REPORTING MOBILE APPLICATION
When students are victimized or have knowledge of safety issues, fear
or confusion may discourage them from telling school personnel or
a police officer. The Katy Independent School District is encouraging
students, parents and community members to anonymously report tips
or information about potential safety threats through the District’s new
SpeakUP reporting mobile application. This new app is one of many
ways the District is fostering engagement and developing customized
resources that adapt to the needs of a growing school district with
changing demographics.
The SpeakUP mobile device app was developed for the Katy ISD school
community to anonymously submit safety and well-being tips to help
prevent campus related incidents that could cause harm to others. Tips
can be on bullying, weapons, self-harm, illicit drug use, inappropriate
relationships, violence or a number of other concerns.
Last year, Katy ISD successfully debuted a Bullying Tip Line submission
process that was featured on the Katy OnTheGo app. Prior to the school
year ending, the Tip Line had been accessed over 130,000 times. During
this past summer, the District designed and developed the SpeakUP
app to offer a wider range of reporting capabilities, including over 40
different safety related categories. The improved reporting app even
allows students to attach a video or photo evidence that supports the tip
as well as receive updates on their submission.
All tips are thoroughly investigated by campus personnel, police and/
or a crisis management team. Katy ISD believes that the app will be an
excellent additional tool to help support the emotional well-being of
students and provide safe learning environments for all.
KATY ISD CHANGES GRADING POLICY
Katy Independent School District Trustees approved changes to the
Academic Achievement Class Ranking and District grading policy. The
updated policy removes the “D” letter grade from the alphabetical
identification grades. The update also addresses changes to the class
ranking practice. Students who began the 2019-20 school year as juniors,
sophomores or freshmen will also see a modification to the class rank
reporting practice that is a part of that grading policy. While eleventh
grade students in the top 10% will continue to receive a class rank in
the spring semester of their junior year, all other students will receive a
quartile rank during that same time. This will have no adverse effect on
students below the top 10%. This year’s graduating seniors will adhere
to the previous class rank reporting practice in which a ranking will be
issued for every member of the class of 2020.

November 2019 | Governor’s Place

IMPORTANT DATES
November 25th-29th: Thanksgiving Break
Quartile ranking is consistent with the majority of Texas state public
college admission policies. Katy ISD campuses will be reviewing the
updated policy with students in the coming weeks to help inform
students and families of the recent changes.
KATY ISD OFFERS COMMUNITY

Have you ever wanted to learn how to design a cake, play the guitar
or maybe even how to dance the salsa? The Katy Independent School

National Charity League, Inc.
Lady Bird Chapter Hosts Back to School Senior Fashion Show
This past August, the National Charity League, Inc., Lady Bird Chapter (NCL, Inc.) hosted a Peace, Love and NCL Runway Fashion Show at the Redeemer
Community Church in Katy. The Class of 2020 organized the event which has become a back to school tradition for the chapter. The senior class
modeled fashions from Sassafras Boutique and Gifts (Katy) and jewelry from Park Lane Jewelry (Katy). Proceeds from the show will benefit one of the
chapter’s philanthropies, Keep Kids Connected and help subsidize the cost of their Senior Recognition Program in May of next year. The Senior Class of
2020 has been together since 2014 and along with their mothers, they completed thousands of philanthropy hours in the Katy area. What a fun way for
these girls to start their senior year! For more information about the NCL, Inc., Lady Bird Chapter, please visit www.ladybird.nationalcharityleague.org.
