May 2020 | Lakemont

STAY SAFE!
Although we enjoy a very safe neighborhood, outsiders may occasionally come through
looking for trouble. Please be aware of your surroundings. Always carry your cell phone.
If something looks strange or makes your feel uncomfortable, please call or text a family
member or neighbor and let them know something isn’t right. If you see an unfamiliar car
parked in front of a house or cruising the streets, don’t ignore it. Call the non-emergency
number or the roving police at 832-719-1047. The number for the Ft. Bend Sheriff can
be reached at 281-341-4665. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Our police are here
to keep our community safe and they need our help to notify them when something is
wrong.
SPEED LIMIT - PLEASE SLOW DOWN!
Speed limit signs are posted throughout the community and should be obeyed at all
times. We regularly have many children and families out on our streets enjoying the good
weather. Please be alert for pets, children, walkers, joggers and bicycles on our streets. Be
sure to come to a full stop and look both ways before proceeding through intersections.
Joggers and small children can move extremely fast and can be in front of you with no
warning.
LAKEMONT SCHOOLS
Lakemont is in the Lamar CISD. Our children attend McNeill Elementary, Briscoe Junior
High and Foster Senior High School. The website for Lamar CISD is www.lcisd.org. The
website is easy to follow and lists all pertinent information you will need for your children.
PETS
We love our pets at Lakemont, but please be sure to keep them leashed. Some dogs are
nervous or skittish when approached by other dogs. Children are often frightened of dogs
that are not leashed. Even if you have the friendliest dog in Lakemont, please keep them
on a leash when you’re out in common areas.

Please be sure to clean up after your dogs. Excrement is unsightly and a health hazard.
Dogs should have shelter and plenty of water when they are outside. Never leave your pet
in a car. It takes only a few minutes for a pet to die from heat stroke. Always remember, if
it’s too hot for you, it’s definitely too hot for your pets.
KEEP LAKEMONT BEAUTIFUL
Our residents take pride in keeping our neighborhoods beautiful. Please do your part
by cutting your grass every week during the summer. Trees that are close to sidewalks
should be trimmed approximately 8 feet from the ground so that people walking down
the sidewalks will not be impeded by the branches.
Likewise, trees with branches extending over the streets should be trimmed so that cars
and trucks are not damaged. Gardens and flowerbeds should be kept free of weeds. Trash
that has blown into your yard should be picked up and disposed of properly. Thanks for
helping us keep Lakemont beautiful.
For a copy of the Fine Policy, visit your community link at www.

directed to On-Site Community Manager, Ruthie Ukutt at 832-595-6808 or by email at

PRACTICE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF
MOSQUITO CONTROL
1. Empty, remove, cover or turn upside down any receptacle that would
hold water - particularly old bottles and tin cans.
2. Change water and scrub vases holding flowers or cuttings twice each
week - or grow cutting in sand.
3. Discard old tires or store them indoors.
4. Screen rain barrels and openings to water tanks or cisterns. Seal
cisterns not in actual use.
5. Repair leaky plumbing and outside faucets. They may cause standing
water.
6. Connect open waste-water drains to a sewage system or construct
separate sump or leach.
7. Clean clogged roof gutters and drain flat roofs.
8. Fill holes in trees with sand or mortar or drain or spray then, as required.
9. Stock ornamental ponds with mosquito-eating fish.
10. Fix or replace screens for doors and windows.
Mosquitoes develop only in water…and water standing just a few days
can produce a crop of mosquitoes! STOP MOSQUITO DEVELOPMENT.
GET RID OF STANDING WATER.

10 TIPS FOR SAFE COMPUTING
Today, we are more dependent on computers and the information that
they store than ever before. From spyware, viruses and Trojans to identity
theft and computer hardware malfunctions - any disruption can have a
huge impact on our lives. No matter how savvy the user, safe computing
practices are a combination of physical protections using computer
software and security settings and the secure actions of the user. You
need both to make a difference. Below are 10 tips that will help you
protect your computer and ultimately the information stored on it.
1. Keep your computer updated - In the evolving world of software viruses,
it is essential that computer owners use anti-virus software and keep it upto-date.
Most anti-virus software gives the user the ability to do automatic
updates. Whether individuals choose to update their operating system
software automatically or manually, we recommend making it a continuous
process. It is also important to keep other software on your computer
updated. Software updates often include essential bug fixes and security
features that address existing vulnerabilities. Finally, enable the personal
firewall on your computer. This will help to keep unauthorized people from
snooping around your computer when it’s connected to the Internet.
2. Create strong, secure passwords - There is power in strong
passwords. We recommend passwords that contain at least 8 characters
with a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Strong passwords
are less likely to be hacked than very generic passwords. Use creative
pass-phases to avoid having to write down a password. Do not share
your passwords with anyone.
3. Download files legally - Along with the possibility of significant legal
penalties, downloading music and movies from peer-to-peer networks
can be harmful to your machine. These downloaded files are sometimes
riddled with viruses and spyware.
4. Keep personal information safe - Reduce your risk of identity theft.
Never share your personal information via email, no matter how official
the email looks. Official business that requires personal information
should not happen via unsecured email.
5. Scan email attachments and validate links - In an effort to keep
viruses off your machine, scan all attachments that are sent to you. Viruses
can lurk in emails from friends and family. While you may be fooled about
an email that contains a photo you would like to see from a friend, antivirus
software will know the difference. If you receive a link in an email
from a trusted source, hover over the link using your mouse and look in
the bottom bar of your web browser to reveal the true URL and validate
that the link is legitimate. This will ensure that you know where you are
going on the Internet and whether or not you want to go there.
6. Lock your computer - When leaving your computer unattended,
physically lock it to prevent theft of the machine. We also suggest that
users lock the screen with a password to safeguard data.
7. Log off any public areas - Remember when using a public computer
or network, it is just that…public. Be sure that you completely log off the
site or machine when you are finished using it. Users should be especially
mindful to uncheck boxes that will remember users’ login information
when logging into online services, such as email and bank accounts.
8. Back up important data - We have seen final papers vanish - hard drives
crash and files become corrupt. If you have important information that you
cannot afford to lose, back it up. We recommend that you store this information
securely and even consider storing extra copies at another location.
9. Limit information on social media sites - People will post almost anything
on social media site. For many people, birth dates, anniversaries, addresses,
phone numbers and a lot of other personal information can be found on social
media sites. Protect yourself from identity theft and other scams by limiting
what information you disclose online and who can see that information.
10. Avoid surfing websites that you don’t already know - Browsers are
quickly becoming one of the larger vulnerabilities in computing. Adware
and spyware are written specifically to exploit Internet Explorer and
Firefox. So try and stick with the websites you trust.
While these steps are not foolproof, they will go a long way towards
extending the life of your machine and protecting the valuable
information contained on it. Article by Julie Myers.

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

MAY IS NATIONAL STROKE AWARENESS MONTH
Many health and heart organizations come together every May to raise
awareness about the causes and effects of stroke. One of their biggest
campaigns is FAST, teaching the world to know the symptoms of stroke
and how to respond quickly to help save a life.
Face - By asking the person to smile you can tell immediately if one side
of the face droops.
Arm - Ask the person to raise both arms. Observe to see if one arm drifts
lower than the other.
Speech - Slurred speech is a symptom of stroke. Ask the person to repeat
a single sentence.
Time - Call 911-Fast. Time may be the difference between life and death
or even partial and full recovery.
National Stroke Awareness Day was proclaimed in 1989 by President
George H. W. Bush. It had been observed for many years before the
proclamation. The Centers for Disease Control, the American Heart
Association, World Stroke Campaign and many other have all participated
in bringing education, research and treatment on a global basis.
PREPARE FOR SUMMER HEAT NOW!
We’re weeks away from sweltering temperatures, hurricane warnings
and bug invasions. Before summer hits at full force, make sure you and
your home are prepared:
Give Your Air Conditioner a Checkup
• Replace your air filter to make sure the whole system runs smoothly.
• Clear debris on or around your vents or exhausts and clean off any dirt
from the main unit outside.
• Install programmable thermostats.

GOING STIR-CRAZY? A FEW IDEAS TO HELP
MAKE A SCHEDULE: Whether it’s a new one every day or general routine
to follow, it always helps us pass the time having a list of what’s on tap
for the day.
FACETIME YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS: A way to stay sane and feel like
you’re still in touch with your loved ones without any actual face time.
ORGANIZE DRAWERS, CABINETS AND CLOSETS: Now is the time to get
to all those projects you never have time for!
BAKE WITH YOUR KIDS: Always a nice way to spend quality time with
the kids and everyone has a treat at the end.
EXERCISE OR DO YOGA: Good for the mind and the body.
DO A PUZZLE: There’s something about doing a puzzle that feels so cozy
if you’re trapped inside.
EXTRA LONG BATHTIMES:A long soak, a good book and a nice glass of
wine is a nice destress for mom (or dad). Kids can enjoy playing in the tub
with water toys, bubble or soap crayons.
HAVE A BACKYARD PICNIC:eating outside on a blanket is something
fun to change up the routine!
DO CRAFTS: You can make crafts with just about anything and your
imagination. Got rocks in the backyard? Paint them with the kids. Old
cardboard box? Color it like a castle, turn it into a puppet stage or
anything you can imagine it to be.
MAKE A MUSIC JAR: Place types of music or certain music groups on
slips of paper, then pick on out each day for your listening pleasure.
