PETS REMINDERS<br />

<strong>Westheimer</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> Community has had many loose dogs & cats lately.<br />

Please do your part to keep your animals safe and contained on your<br />

property. Please Control Your Pets! It is a deed restriction violation if<br />

your pets are not confined to a fenced backyard or within your home.<br />

They must not be allowed to bark all night or cause a nuisance to your<br />

neighbors. They must also be on a leash at all times when not in a<br />

contained environment. It is also the pet owner’s responsibility to keep<br />

ALL areas of the community FREE from pet debris when walking your<br />

pets. Please remember that cats must also be confined. If you happen to<br />

come across vicious dogs or ANY loose dogs of this nature, please contact<br />

Fort Bend County Animal Control at 281-342-1512. If you are familiar with<br />

the property address the pets belong to, please feel free to submit that<br />

information to Principal Management Group - Marci Birthisel at wln@<br />

entouch.net - to pursue the deed restriction violation. Notification and<br />

ample time must be given to the owner to correct the violation prior to<br />

any further pursuit by the Association. Remember that all pets should<br />

always wear a collar with ID tag! Pet owners should also consider pet<br />

microchips for identification in case your pet loses their collar/ID tag.<br />

RULES OF THE ROAD FOR WESTHEIMER LAKES<br />

golf carts, etc.) other than mowing equipment on pathways or trails<br />

maintained by the Association or any other Common Area within the<br />

According to the Texas department of public safety:<br />

• ATV’s are not allowed on a street and an operator crossing a street must<br />

have a valid driver’s license.<br />

• Golf carts are not allowed to be operated on any roadways, sidewalks or<br />

common areas. This includes the Rec Center, SplashPad, lake areas and<br />

playgrounds.<br />

• Mopeds and motor assisted scooters are treated as regular bicycles. All<br />

vehicles used on roads must obey traffic laws including stop signs and<br />

speed limits. For additional information on this subject, go to www.txdps.<br />

state.tx.us/msb/pages/Electric.htm.<br />

DID YOU KNOW… ATV’s and Golf Carts on common areas of the<br />

<strong>February</strong> <strong>2020</strong> | <strong>Westheimer</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong>


LET US KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS LITTER FREE!<br />

Take responsibility for yourself and be a good neighbor! Keep our streets<br />

and neighborhood trash and litter free! Make it a habit, be a good<br />

neighbor and do your part! If each person did their own part (around the<br />

outside of their home including their little stretch of street in front of their<br />

house), what a better place this would be to live! A clean environment/<br />

neighborhood makes people feel good about themselves. They will<br />

keep it clean. Some need to be reminded. Others need to be continually<br />

reminded. It takes time to change habits. Keeping your neighborhood<br />

clean is a habit that takes conscious effort.<br />

GOLF BALLS<br />

Hitting golf balls is meant for the golf course only. It can cause damage<br />

not only to personal property but to people as well. Please respect your<br />

neighbors and refrain from hitting golf balls inside the community.<br />

NO TRESPASSING ON RESIDENTS<br />

PRIVATE PROPERTY<br />

There have been complaints about children crossing through residents’<br />

private yards to get to the facilities. Please let children know that they<br />

cannot cross private property. If this should occur more than once, we ask<br />

homeowners’ to contact the proper authorities.<br />

BASKETBALL GOALS<br />

Basketball is a fun sport that many like to play. As a reminder, please<br />

make sure that all basketball goals are kept in an upright position in your<br />

driveway. Basketball goals should not be left in the street at anytime or<br />

left on the side of your home when not in use. Leaving Basketball goals<br />

in the street can be a nuisance to drivers in the community and a hazard<br />

should there be a need for an emergency vehicle to gain access to your<br />

street. Please note this is also a violation of deed restrictions and if you<br />

receive violation letters regarding this matter you could be sent to the<br />

attorney and be liable for those charges.<br />

UNWANTED SOLICITORS<br />

NO SOLICITING signs are posted throughout the entrances of the<br />

community. If this continues to be a growing issue at your residence and<br />

would like to place a NO SOLICITING sign in your yard, you may certainly<br />

do so. Please be sure that the sign is placed by your front door and place<br />

only (1) sign at your home. If you feel in danger and think the solicitor will<br />

be in the community long enough to call the authorities, we suggest you<br />

call the local Police Department.<br />

KEEP OUR LAKES CLEAN<br />

Please help us keep our community beautiful by NOT THROWING trash<br />

and debris around or into the lakes. In addition, there is NO SWIMMING,<br />

BOATING OR FISHING in the LAKES.<br />

IMPORTANT TRASH INFORMATION<br />

Remember: Unless it is trash pick up day, your trashcans (and any bags of<br />

trash) must be hidden from public view. Please do not store your trashcans<br />

in front of your garage or on the side of your home - your neighbors don’t<br />

want to look out their windows and see your garbage either. Please be<br />

respectful and only place trash out on specific trash days.<br />

WESTHEIMER LAKES TRASH PICK-UP SCHEDULE<br />

Garbage collection days are: Wednesday and Saturday. Trash containers<br />

must be at curb by 7 AM on Wednesdays and Saturdays.<br />

aluminum & bi-metal cans, plastics coded #1 & #2. Please rinse all food<br />

containers. Service Provider is Waste Management – 713-686-6666.<br />

NO DUMPING IN EMPTY LOTS<br />

Please help us keep our community clean by NOT DUMPING trash and<br />

debris onto empty lots. Neighbors please report violators and be ready<br />

to provide license plate number and photo or any other pertinent<br />

information.<br />

Lighter Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo<br />

Ingredients:<br />

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts<br />

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth<br />

4 cloves garlic, minced<br />

ground black pepper to taste<br />

2 cups heavy cream<br />

2 egg yolks<br />

salt to taste<br />

1 pound fettuccine<br />

1 sprig chopped fresh parsley<br />

2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided<br />

Directions: Combine chicken breasts and chicken broth in a saucepan<br />

over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low;<br />

simmer for 5 minutes. Turn breasts, cover and simmer another 5 minutes.<br />

Remove from heat and let sit with the cover on for 15 minutes.<br />

Remove chicken breasts from the broth and set aside to cool, reserving<br />

the broth in the saucepan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle,<br />

cut into bite-size slices. Return the chicken broth to medium heat and<br />

cook until reduced to 1 cup. Stir garlic, black pepper and heavy cream<br />

into the reduced broth; bring to a simmer and remove from heat.<br />

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Beat 1 tablespoon of the warm<br />

cream mixture into the eggs until thoroughly incorporated; repeat until<br />

about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture is used. Whisk the warm cream<br />

and egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream<br />

mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the<br />

mixture almost comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes. Season<br />

with salt and black pepper to taste.<br />

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine in<br />

boiling water, stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about<br />

7 minutes. Drain.<br />

Stir parsley, 1 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cream mixture into the<br />

pasta. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for a few minutes until thick.<br />

Fold chicken and 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano into the pasta mixture to<br />

serve.<br />
