HOUSTON,

Houston is strong. When confronted with adversity, we band together 

and overcome. And though this coronavirus pandemic is unprecedented, 

we face it the same way — together. 

Houston Methodist would like to thank our employees, physicians, scientists 

and all health care workers who are committed to helping the community. 

Together we can make our city healthy and vibrant again.

DO’S AND DON’TS OF DEED RESTRICTIONS 

Deed restrictions or often called “restrictive covenants” (especially in 

the context of homeowners associations) are restrictions contained in 

incorporating documents that limit how a property can be used or what 

can be built on it. Subdivision developers create these restrictions in 

order to keep size, quality and nature of housing consistent in an effort to 

maintain market value of the subdivision. 

For the most part, Hearthstone residents abide by our deed restrictions. 

Yards are kept clean and neat. Home exteriors are washed and unsightly 

mold is removed. Our neighbors file the required ACC forms when making 

changes to their home exteriors or adding a room or other structure. 

Trailers are not parked in driveways or on the street for extended periods 

of time and commercial vehicles are kept in garages. 

However, there are always a few who, from time to time forget or are not 

well informed about to do’s and don’ts of our deed restrictions. We need 

your help. We need everyone to follow the deed restrictions. If you aren’t 

familiar with them, they can be found in the documents section of our 

website. If you’re not sure, call the management company. Our management 

company inspects the community once a month checking for violations. 

There are times when they will miss something. If you have a neighbor 

who is a continuing violator, call the management company. If you want 

to remain anonymous call Katie Ivanics directly and let her know. Moving 

forward, the Board has instructed the management company to continue 

to inspect closely for violations and follow up with notices allowed by law. 

1) The first notice is a courtesy letter. 

2) If the violation is not cured within 30 days a second letter is sent. 

3) If the violation continues another 30 days it is referred to our attorney 

and a third letter is sent. The attorney letter results in a $302.50 charge to 

the homeowners account. 

4) Continuing violations and/or non-payment of a homeowners account 

can lead to a notice of foreclosure. 

For the good of all of our homeowners in Hearthstone, let’s keep our 

community clean and neat. Thanks to all of you who already abide by 

the rules and thanks in advance to those few who will strive to do better! 


HEARTHSTONE YARD OF THE MONTH 

Neighbors, are you yearning for a dose of hope and an injection of normalcy? The paramedics on the Yard of the Month Committee have found 

the cure. They prescribe fast-acting visual exposure to 7114 Blenheim Palace Lane, staffed by specialists Cathy and Mike Coby. The miracle drug 

has many common ingredients in measured amounts. Instead of patients in their beds, you will observe a colorful cocktail of variegated ginger, 

snapdragons, begonias, crepe myrtles, knockout roses, orange day lilies and dusty millers. Instead of employing teams of nurses and doctors, these 

beds are monitored by live oaks, pines and green and yellow ligustrum hedges. Contrary to stern warnings to stay six feet away, there are two spring 

wreaths on the doors. Sterile containers have been replaced by pots of desert roses and petunias and masks and gloves have given way to Easter eggs 

in the hedges. Feeling better already?

STOP THAT BARKING 

Many dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and restless. Many find 

relief in barking. Some respond noisily to any and all activity. But, nothing 

is as annoying as incessant barking - even for dog lovers. If your dog is a 

yapper or a yowler, please consider some of these bark-abatement ideas 

to keep the noise down in your area. Your neighbors will thank you! 

• Training. Always the first recommendation for any behavioral problem! 

Help is as close as the Yellow Pages. Training not only helps your dog, 

you’ll be surprised how much it helps you, too. You may get some insight 

into why your dog barks so much or what it is trying to communicate. 

• Citronella collars. A humane alternative to the electric-shock, antibarking 

collar and costs about the same. Available on the web and in 

pet stores. • Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing an outspoken 

dog indoors or confining it to a crate can cut down on the disturbance 

to neighbors. • For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close drapes to help 

muffle street noise or leave a radio on to mask it. • Companionship. Dogs 

are pack animals; they need companionship - a cat, bird or another dog. 

Consider a mid-day visit from a pet-sitting service or drop your pooch off 

at a friend’s place or a day-care facility once or twice a week. 

Keep in mind that dogs who bark from loneliness or boredom, may not 

do it when you are home. Meanwhile, your neighbors may be getting 

serenaded while you are away. 

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR 

HARRIS COUNTY CONSTABLE 

The Harris County Constable’s Office, Precinct 5 is now offering a class 

on Rape Aggression Defense (RAD). RAD is one of the best women’s selfdefense 

courses available. It’s a program based on realistic self-defense 

tactics and techniques. It is a comprehensive self-defense course for 

women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and 

avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defensive 

training. If you’re interested in more information and signing up, go to 

this link: https://constablepct5.com/index.php/rad. Make sure if you 

or your family goes on vacation to put in a “Vacation Watch” with our 

department. That way you’ll know your house is being watched by our 

patrol deputies. You can fill out a vacation watch form online here: 

https://constablepct5.com/index.php/vacation-watch/ 

https://constablepct5.com/index.php/special-watch/ 

Or you can call our dispatch at 281-463-6666. 

HEARTHSTONE STREETLIGHTS 

The Hearthstone HOA coordinates maintenance of all the streetlights 

throughout the community. This includes the “cobra head” lights like you see 

along many streets and highways, as well as the decorative light poles along 

Huffmeister and in some of the neighborhoods. Cobra head streetlights 

need to be reported to CenterPoint, using the pole number, which is the 

“address” for the light. It is a six digit number facing the street. You can report 

streetlights that are not working or staying on during the day at http://cnp. 

centerpointenergy.com/outage (Google streetlight outage) or give us the 

pole number and we will do it for you. Outages or problems with decorative 

streetlights should be reported to Inframark at 281-870-0585. Please note the 

exact intersection or closest address. The association has a contractor doing a 

monthly nighttime inspection for lights that are out, but if you see a problem, 

please report it, so we can achieve our goal to keep all the lights on all the time. 

TRASH DAYS 

Trash days are Tuesdays and Fridays with recycling pickup on Fridays. If 

you have questions, call 281-368-8397. 

BOARD MEETING 

Board Meetings are now bi-monthly, usually on the 3 rd Wednesday at 6 

PM. Hearthstone Country Club. 

LOST & FOUND PETS IN HEARTHSTONE 

Folks in Hearthstone are very helpful in getting lost pets reunited with 

their owners, but all dog owners should ensure that there is a tag on each 

dog with their name, address and phone number. Local pet stores have 

machines that make tags like this while you wait. At least that would help 

found dogs get back home quicker and with less trauma. 

HEARTHSTONE HOA EMAIL ALERTS 

Just register at the site using “Join our Mailing Lists” on the opening page. You 

will be automatically added to the email group. This group will be used to

SAFETY TIPS - AVOID BEING A VICTIM 

1. Call the constable’s office anytime you see a suspicious person and do 

not let race, age or gender influence you calling (a suspicious person is 

anyone you do not recognize on your street). 2. Call the constable’s office 

when you see a suspicious vehicle (any vehicle parked in front of your 

neighbor’s home or driving around your street that you don’t recognize). 

3. Always keep all your doors and windows locked even when you are at 

home. 4. Always keep your overhead garage door in the down position. 

5. Remember neighbors looking out for neighbors are how the police 

catch the bad guys. 6. Make sure to do a vacation watch whenever you 

go out of town. 7. If someone comes to your door, always go to the door 

and acknowledge that you are there and remember to never open the 

door for anyone that you do not know. The bad guys in almost all cases 

do not want you to be home. Then always call the constable’s office so 

that we can check them out. When they leave your house, they are going 

to your neighbors. 8. If you have children that stay at home alone, no 

matter what their age, they need to go to the door and have a preplanned 

story for whoever is there (my dad is working on the computer, he says 

to come back later). Then have them call the constable’s office. 9. Never 

do business with people you don not know and trust. Never open the 

door for solicitors. If no one in the neighborhood buys anything from 

them, the companies that they work for will quit sending them into your 

subdivision. 10. Always lock your vehicles and never leave anything of 

value in plain sight (covering up an item with a jacket doesn’t count). 

Our dispatch number is 281-463-6666 (please put this number in your 

cell phone as 911 constable or A constable so that it is one of the first 

contacts). Officer Roy Guinn, Community Relations and Crime Prevention

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 

8 

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.

CAM Food Pantry Update 

CYPRESS ASSISTANCE MINISTRIES’ (CAM) FOOD 

PANTRY HOURS REVISED TO ACCOMMODATE 450% 

INCREASE IN SERVICE 

With unemployment continuing to rise, feeding one’s family has become 

an unreachable goal for many parents. Cypress Assistance Ministries’ 

Food Pantry is experiencing a 450% increase in the number of people 

depending on assistance for food. 

“Many families who were financially stable have now seen the reduction 

of or loss of one or more household paychecks, leaving them unable to 

cover basic necessities. Unemployment payment will kick in and that will 

help, but having enough right now means asking others for help. And 

recovering from this kind of loss will require financial assistance as well.” 

stated Janet Ryan, CAM’s Director of Development. “The large majority of 

people coming to CAM’s Food Pantry are new faces. They are people who 

were self-sufficient until this unexpected and unprecedented time. Truly 

anyone can fall on hard times.” 

With this large influx of traffic, CAM is modifying the Food Pantry hours 

to allow one day a week for sorting food and packing boxes of food. 

The new hours for assistance will be Monday-Thursday, 10 AM-2 PM. 

“The demand is simply more than we can keep up with unless we again 

modify the hours.” said Ryan. “And volunteers are very much needed so 

if you are not in a high-risk group, please consider giving of your time.” 

CAM’s Food Pantry is using a “Drive Through” model to limit contact 

between individuals. Clients stay in their cars, show ID and proof of 

residency and then based on household size a number of boxes of prepacked 

food items are placed in their trunk or backseat. CAM is serving 

food to zip codes 77065, 77095, 77429, 77433 and 77084. 

The best ways to help CAM include financial donations, food donations 

and by volunteering. If you are interested in volunteering please contact 

Janet Ryan at janetr@cypressassistance.org. To donate food visit CAM’s 

Food Pantry at 11265 Huffmeister. To donate financially, please visit 

www.cypressassistance.org/support/donate.

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.

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. 

Test for Ventilation Leaks 

• First, look for actual leaks: drafts in your windows and doors. 

• Check your attic insulation for leaks and gaps. 

Set Up a Barrier for Bugs 

• Check caulking around windows and doors, fix any drafts/gaps with 

new weather stripping and caulking. 

14 


• Spray outdoor perimeter with a pesticide, along with baseboards, sinks, 

windows and doors. 

Change Your Ceiling Fan Direction 

• Run Ceiling Fans Counter-Clockwise for Summer Savings. 

Prevent Water Damage 

• Make sure your windows and doors are properly sealed and caulked, too. 

• Test gutters to look for water coming out of any places it shouldn’t. 

• Inspect your roof (remove any debris and leaves while you’re up there).

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.

1/2 cup butter 

2 cloves garlic, sliced 

1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined 

1/3 cup white wine 

3/4 cup dry bread crumbs

butter, saute garlic until tender, remove garlic and discard. Add shrimp and cook

INGREDIENTS: 

4 cups all-purpose flour 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 teaspoon baking soda

flour, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar and baking powder. Cut lard into flour 

mixture using a pastry blender until crumbly; stir in buttermilk. Turn mixture 

onto a floured surface and knead just a few times to form a moist dough. Roll 

dough out 1-inch thick; cut biscuits with a cookie cutter or round glass. Place 

biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until tops 

are golden, about 12 minutes. http://allrecipes.com/ 

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.
