instructions for setting up your account. This site has links to Graham 

Management and the website, options to ask questions, pay dues, check 

design applications and more. The goal is to make NABR an official 

place to go for important updates and contact information, making 

communication for residents more simplified. Go to NabrNetwork.com 

or contact Graham Management to set up an account.

VLP SAFETY TIPS 

Officer Glentzer patrols VLP and shared the following valuable tips. 

• Safety and awareness are key! 

• If you SEE something, SAY something. Don’t be afraid to call in suspicious 

activity and behavior. It gives our officers reason to investigate further 

and could deter criminal activity. 

• Call 713-221-6000 with non-emergency issues and 911 with emergencies 

• Let our very own Deputy Glentzer (713-471-1882) know if you will be 

away so he can keep an eye on your home 

4 

• Be aware of your surroundings. Always lock your vehicle and promptly 

remove packages and deliveries from your door step. 

WATER USAGE 

TNG is the operator for MUD 370. Villages at Lakepointe, Lakes on Eldridge 

North and Nanaksar Colony make up MUD 370. 

The meter readings and total monthly usage are listed on your invoices. 

To conserve water, check for things like running toilets or leaks. TNG is 

also a good resource and can be reached at 281-350-0895. 

FENCE STAIN COLORS 

Fences are required to be kept stained in the following colors: 

Behr Exterior Wood Stain in Cappuccino Solid (SC-142) 

Behr Exterior Wood Stain in Valise Solid (SC-123) 

Behr Exterior Wood Stain in Cappuccino Semi Transparent (ST-142) 

Behr Exterior Wood Stain in Valise Semi Transparent (ST-123) 

DESIGN GUIDELINES 

The Design Guidelines are detailed descriptions of criteria related to the 

outside of your home and landscape. A complete list of these guidelines 

can be found on the community website. 

As VLP approaches 20+ years, it is critical to keep the integrity of the 

neighborhood by upkeep of homes and yards. Please take a look at this 

information to see if there is anything you can do to your residence to 

help keep our home values up. 

PET OWNER FRIENDLY REMINDERS 

Please remember to adhere to county laws regarding your pet by always 

having your pet on a leash when outside of your house or backyard. This 

is a law in Harris County; details can be found under Animal Regulations 

at public health.harriscountytx.gov. 

This is a safety precaution as well, due to the drainage ditch that runs 

through VLP and can be a place where coyotes and other animals can 

be found. 

Additionally, please pick up after your pet. Germs and disease can be 

spread in fecal matter, not to mention the mess it causes when stepped 

in. Trash cans have been installed in common areas in VLP for your 

convenience. Be a good neighbor and pick up your pet waste, including 

other resident’s yards and walking paths. 

TREES AND SIDEWALKS 

As a reminder, it is the responsibility of the homeowner to trim the trees 

on their property. This includes the trees on the outside of the sidewalk 

that lines the property. Many have overgrown tree branches that hang 

down and pose a danger to pedestrians. If someone is injured by a tree 

on your property, you will be liable - so please go ahead and trim those 

branches! Notices and reminders have been sent to homeowners about 

this ongoing neighborhood concern. Thanks to all those who have 

already taken steps to take care of their trees! 

Many residents have also voiced concerns about the condition of 

sidewalks that have become significantly uneven, largely from tree 

roots, soil erosion, etc. Like the low hanging branches, these uneven 

sidewalks also pose a risk to pedestrians and are the responsibility 

of the homeowner to correct. Homeowners would be liable for any 

injury caused by faults in the sidewalks on their property. Graham 

Management has been notified of sidewalks in the common areas that 

need attention. 

As VLP reaches just over 20 years, consistent upkeep is necessary to keep 

our community looking good and to keep residents safer. 

Thank you for doing your part as a homeowner to keep VLP a great place 

to live!

NATIONAL BLOOD DONOR MONTH 

The American Red Cross urges people to share their good health and 

resolve to give blood regularly, beginning in January with National 

Blood Donor Month. Below are key messages that can be relayed to 

donors while scheduling appointments. 

• Extreme winter weather in some parts of the country and seasonal 

illnesses often make it difficult for the American Red Cross to maintain a 

sufficient blood supply at this time of year. Healthy individuals are urged 

to give now. 

• The Red Cross must collect more than 13,000 blood donations every day 

for patients in need. 

• Do you know someone who has never donated before? Please encourage 

them to make an appointment with you. Without more donors, patients 

will not have the blood they need. 

• Type O negative is the universal blood type and what emergency 

personnel reach for in trauma situations when there isn’t time to 

determine a patient’s blood type. 

• Type O positive is the most transfused blood type and can be transfused 

to Rh-positive patients of any blood type. 

• Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh-positive or 

negative patients. 

• Save time by using RapidPass® to complete your pre-donation reading 

and health history online before you come to your appointment. Get 

started at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or by using the Blood Donor 

App. 

• For detailed donor eligibility questions, please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1- 

800-733-2767) or visit RedCrossBlood.org.

A HEALTHY, HAPPY NEW YEAR: 11 SMART TIPS 

1. Read to your children every day. Start by the age of six months. 

Reading to children shows them the importance of communication and 

motivates them to become readers. It also provides a context to discuss 

issues and learn what is on your child’s mind. 

2. Make your children feel loved and important. Kids develop a sense 

of self-worth early in life. They get it from their parents. Listen to what 

your children have to say. Assure them that they are loved and safe. 

Celebrate their individuality and tell them what makes them special and 

what you admire about them. 

3. Provide your child with a tobacco-free environment. Indoor air 

pollution from tobacco increases ear infections, chest infections and 

even Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. If you smoke, consider quitting. 

Remember, the most important predictor of whether your children will 

grow up to be smokers is whether you smoke. Make your home a smokefree 

zone. 

4. Pay attention to nutrition. Nutrition makes a big difference in how 

kids grow, develop and learn. Good nutrition is a matter of balance. 

Provide foods from several food groups at each meal. Emphasize foods 

that are less processed, such as whole grain breads and cereals and fresh 

fruits and vegetables. Review your child’s diet with your pediatrician for 

suggestions. 

5. Do a “childproofing” survey of your home. A child’s-eye view home 

survey should systematically go from room to room, removing all the 

“booby traps” that await the curious toddler or preschooler. Think of 

poisons, small objects, sharp edges, knives, firearms and places to fall. 

6. Make sure immunizations are up to date. Review your child’s 

immunization record with your pediatrician. Make sure your child is 

current on recommended immunizations. 

7. Practice “safety on wheels.” Make sure everyone in the car is buckled 

up for every ride, with children in the back seat in age-appropriate child 

safety seats. All bikers, skaters and skateboarders should wear helmets.

8. Prevent violence by setting good examples. Hitting, slapping and 

spanking teaches children that it is acceptable to hit other people to 

solve problems. Non-physical forms of discipline work better in the long 

run. Remember that words can hurt too. 

9. Monitor your children’s “media.” Monitor what your children see and 

hear on television, in movies and in music. Children are affected by what 

they see and hear, particularly in these times of violent images. Talk to 

your children about “content.” If you feel that a movie or TV program is 

inappropriate, redirect your child to more suitable programming. 

10. Become more involved in your child’s school and your child’s 

education. Visit your child’s school. Become active in the parent-teacher 

organization. Volunteer in the classroom or for special projects. Be 

available to help with homework. If your child’s education is important to 

you, it will be important to him. 

11. Help kids understand tobacco, alcohol and the media. Help your 

teenager understand the difference between the misleading messages in 

advertising and the truth about the dangers of using alcohol and tobacco 

products. Talk about ads with your child. Help your child understand the 

real messages being conveyed. Make sure the TV shows and movies your 

child watches do not glamorize the use of tobacco, alcohol and other 

drugs.

Gardening Tips For January 

• Birds: Provide food and fresh water. More birds die from lack of water 

than from lack of food. 

• Cacti: Semi-dormant now. Reduce watering. 

• Camellias: Plants may be moved. Pick up and discard fallen blooms. 

• Cultivation: Changes in design may now be made, new beds dug and 

old ones rebuilt. Correct defects in drainage. Incorporate gypsum into 

heavy soils: repeat in three weeks. Dig granite dust, rock phosphate 

and quantities of organic matter into soil. Allow time for settling before 

planting. 

• Fertilize: Daylilies, spuria, Louisiana and bearded irises with complete 

fertilizer. Give strawberries 1 teaspoon ammonium sulfate, keeping six 

inches away from plant. Fertilize pansies with manure tea or blood meal. 

Water in. 

• Fruits: Plant fruit trees. Mulch figs with grass or straw to prevent freeze 

damage to crown. 

• House Plants: Water, when surface soil is crumbly dry. Wash dust off 

leaves to open pores. Mist often. Inspect for diseases and insects. Reduce 

water for poinsettias. 

• Lawns: Remove thatch aerate, and feed with low nitrogen mixture. 

• Pests: For petal blight prevention, spray azaleas and camellias as 

flowers open. Spray for scale with dormant oil solution if temperature 

will be above 35˚ and below 85˚ for next 48 hours. Always read and heed 

manufacturer’s directions before spraying. 

• Propagation: Ivy cuttings root easily this month and next. Root cuttings 

of shrubs in mixture of loam and coarse sand; keep damp and semishaded 

until rooted. 

• Prune: Fruit trees in advance of new growth. Prune to groom and shape. 

Do not remove too much. Remove dead wood from trees and shrubs 

before spring buds swell, but do not prune spring bloomers. Prune crape 

myrtles. Prune nandina and others of similar growth habit by cutting 

unwanted canes out at base of plant. 

• Roses: Annual pruning about the middle of February, just before the 

spring buds break. To prevent later appearance of disease in the old beds, 

keep garden clean of debris and weeds. Complete preparation of new 

beds for roses. 

• Transplanting: January is one of the best months to transplant woody 

plants, both evergreen and deciduous, especially trees. Energy will be 

expended on roots instead of foliage. Learn ultimate size and cultural 

needs of tree or plant before buying. Consider dwarf varieties to avoid 

crowding later. Group plants of similar cultural needs. Do not work wet 

soil. Assure good drainage. Keep plants moist. 

• Vegetables: Prepare beds, preferably raised for drainage, with about 

50% humus, including rotted manure.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. 

Martin Luther King, Jr., an American clergyman and Nobel Prize 

winner was one of the principal leaders of the American civil rights 

movement and a prominent advocate of nonviolent protest. King’s 

challenges to segregation and racial discrimination in the 1950s and 

1960s helped convince many white Americans to support the cause 

of civil rights in the United States. After his assassination in 1968, King 

became a symbol of protest in the struggle for racial justice. In 1957, 

King helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference 

(SCLC), an organization of black churches and ministers that aimed 

to challenge racial segregation. As SCLC’s president, King became 

the organization’s dominate personality and its primary intellectual 

influence. He was responsible for much of the organization’s 

fundraising, which he frequently conducted in conjunction with 

preaching engagements in Northern churches. SCLC sought to 

complement the NAACP’s legal efforts to dismantle segregation 

through the courts, with King and other SCLC leaders encouraging 

the use of nonviolent direct action to protest discrimination. These 

activities included marches, demonstrations and boycotts. 

“I Have a Dream” - King and other black leaders organized the 1963 

March on Washington, a massive protest in Washington, D.C. for 

jobs and civil rights. On August 28, 1963, King delivered the keynote 

address to an audience of more than 200,000 civil rights supporters. 

His “I Have a Dream” speech expressed the hopes of the civil rights 

movement in oratory as moving as any in American history. After 

his death, King came to represent black courage and achievement, 

high moral leadership and the ability of Americans to address and 

overcome racial divisions. Perhaps the most important memorial 

is the national holiday in King’s honor, designated by the Congress 

of the United States in 1983 and observed on the third Monday in 

January, a day that falls on or near King’s birthday of January 15 th .
