FIREWORKS PROHIBITION<br />
IN THE DEED RESTRICTIONS<br />
The Board asks that residents refrain from celebrating holidays with the<br />
use of fireworks and fireworks display. This not only poses a nuisance and<br />
disturbance to your neighbors, it also leaves a messy aftermath to be<br />
cleaned up. Thank you for helping to keep <strong>Westheimer</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> community<br />
fireworks free!<br />
REPORT IT!!!<br />
If you witness any suspicious behavior around the community please<br />
contact the local authorities immediately at the non-emergency number<br />
281-341-4665.<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 />
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 />

JUNE IS NATIONAL CAMPING MONTH<br />
National Camping Month in <strong>June</strong> is an excellent time to pack up your gear and experience nature. Whether<br />
you like roughing it or prefer to have a few modern conveniences when heading out to the trail, it’s<br />
important to keep a few things in mind:<br />
1. Make sure you have plenty of fresh water or a fresh water source.<br />
2. Take a first aid kit and that it is stocked.<br />
3. Pack waterproof matches.<br />
4. Take non-perishable food such as granola bars, jerky, peanut butter, chocolate bars and dried fruits,<br />
especially if you are not taking a cooler.<br />
5. Pack fruits, vegetables and meats separately and keep chilled in a cooler.<br />
6. Include sunblock, even for cloudy days.<br />
7. Rain gear, jackets and blankets are necessary for cooler weather.<br />
Around the country, there are a variety of campsites available. The more modern campsite includes showers<br />
and recreational facilities. These often include water hookups and parking pads for RVs and campers and<br />
cabins to rent as well as more primitive sites with no electrical hookups designed for tent usage. Other<br />
parks only allow primitive camping and require everything you pack into the park to be packed out. So,<br />
seriously consider your needs if you are hiking into the park for your stay. These are not for the glampers.<br />
Gather family and friends, don’t forget the s’mores supply and go camping! Nature is calling and there are<br />
so many ways to enjoy a weekend or even more camping. National Camping Month has been observed<br />
since the 1970s. Source: https://nationaldaycalendar.com<br />

WHAT’S THAT<br />
NET ON MY<br />
TREE TRUNK?<br />
By Deborah Birge, Fort<br />
Bend County Master<br />
Gardener<br />
If you see a net over<br />
your tree trunk, you’re<br />
the lucky winner of<br />
the Bark Lice Lottery!<br />
Bark lice are small,<br />
soft-bodied insects<br />
that live on hardwood<br />
trees, especially Live<br />
Oaks and sometimes<br />
on Pecans. Their<br />
webbing appears in<br />
midsummer and can<br />
cover a tree trunk and<br />
large branches very<br />
quickly. But don’t be<br />
alarmed - bark lice<br />
are a great clean-up crew feeding on fungi, bacteria, dead insects and<br />
lichens!<br />
Although some people think they’re unsightly, bark lice are highly<br />
beneficial and should be left alone. With the first fall frosts, they’ll begin<br />
to decline, along with their web.<br />

GARDEN TIPS FOR JUNE<br />
Lawns: Apply iron sulfate or chelete to St. Augustine grass lawns.<br />
• Mow St. Augustine to a 2-inch height now to protect roots from the sun.<br />
Never cut off more than a third of the leaf.<br />
• Continue treatment of lawns for chinch bug. As the temperature hits 80<br />
degrees, chinch bugs begin to reproduce in the hottest and driest part<br />
of the lawn, usually next to cement. Use diazinon or dursban granules.<br />
Flowers: Overwatered hibiscus, purslane and bougainvillea won’t bloom.<br />
• Keep flowers pinched off of coleus and caladiums to encourage more of<br />
the beautiful foliage.<br />
• Plants to set: Acalpha, Ageratum, Alternathera, Aspidistra, Artemisia,<br />
Balsam, Begonia, Chrysanthemum, Cockscomb, Coleus, Croton, Dusty<br />
Miller, Feverfew, Gaillardia, Geranium, Marigold, Petunia, Pinks, Portulaca,<br />
Salvia-red, Shrimp Plant, Torenia, Verbena and Vinca.<br />
Vegetables: A strong blast of water in the morning rids plants of most<br />
bugs for the rest of the day.<br />
• Vegetables to plant: Cantaloupe, Sweet Corn, Cucumber, Eggplant sets,<br />
Okra, Black Peas, Pepper Sets, Summer Squash and Sweet Potato.<br />
Shrubs: Watch Camellias and Azaleas, they’re setting their blooms now<br />
for next season. So give them a good mulch and plenty of water. Mulch<br />
well with oak leaves and/or pine needles to keep soil acidic. Benefits of<br />
Mulching: Mulching (organic or inorganic) is a layer of material on the<br />
surface of the soil around the plant. Mulches conserve water by reducing<br />
evaporation, insulates the soil and protects it from the drying wind and<br />
hot sun. Mulches break the force of rain and irrigation water and tend to<br />
prevent erosion, soil compaction, and crusting. Lastly, a 2-3 inch layer of<br />
mulch will almost eliminate weed problems.<br />
