NOTICE<br />

At the homeowners meeting in May, the possibility of adding speed<br />

bumps on some of the streets owned by the homeowners associations<br />

was discussed. The HOA Board of Directors have asked<br />

our management company to get proposals for the addition of<br />

speed bumps around the Paradise Lake Circle and on the short<br />

streets entering the Paradise Lake Circle. Also speed bumps on<br />

the private section of Lake Promenade Blvd. The reason for this<br />

is to try to control the speed of people cutting through <strong>Lakeville</strong><br />

to avoid traffic lights on Fry and 529.<br />

HOMEOWNER INFORMATION<br />

and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient.<br />

FOR THE GOOD OF LAKEVILLE<br />

Look around. Are you proud of our Community? The <strong>Lakeville</strong> Community<br />

can only be as good as those who live here. The Community in<br />

general looks good and many people comment on that fact. Just think<br />

how much better it could look if we all pitched in to help. This means<br />

volunteering and working with the Board, the Management Company,<br />

keeping your property in good condition, pay your assessments<br />

on time and serving on Committees. With this kind of cooperation<br />

<strong>Lakeville</strong> will look even better and be safer. Our property values will<br />

continue to increase and we would have a Community we can all be<br />

DEED RESTRICTIONS REMINDERS<br />

Garage Sales: Did you know? Two garage sales a year is the limit<br />

under Texas Law. The Limited Sales, Excise and Use Tax Act says<br />

that people who are not operating a business are permitted to have<br />

no more than two sales of their goods each year. If you exceed this<br />

amount, you will be treated as operating a business and you’ll need<br />

to obtain a sales tax permit from the state. A quick Internet search<br />

reveals that a number of Texas cities also have ordinances limiting<br />

garage sales and some don’t allow them at all. Houston has no such<br />

3


ordinance, however, according to the city’s website. Instead, the city<br />

relies on the state law. Businesses are not allowed in the community.<br />

Trash Can Containers: Trash cans and Trash are to be out of site and<br />

remain out of view at all times, it takes away from property values.<br />

Street Curbs: Curbs are homeowners’ responsibility to keep clean and<br />

free of debris, (i.e. leaves and trash). Keeping these clean will ensure<br />

less street flooding, trash being forced down and clogging sewer drains.<br />

Oil Stains: If you’re having difficulties getting the oil and grease stains<br />

out from your driveway, there are a few mixtures you can buy at an<br />

auto part store that is less than $10. These mixtures will help get the<br />

oil and grease stains in your driveway.<br />

Streetlights: HOA Assessments pay for streetlights, please report<br />

streetlight outages to: www.centerpointenergy.com/services/electricity/residential/reportastreetlightoutage,<br />

you will need the six digit<br />

streetlight pole number and a nearby address when filing out the on<br />

line report.<br />

CA DRAMA DEPARTMENT PRESENTS<br />

A NIGHT OF MELODRAMA!<br />

The CA Players performed “The Last One Seen at the Scene of the Crime” a<br />

melodrama, comedy and western all rolled into one play. The evening was<br />

enjoyed by audience members of all ages and the cast and crew received<br />

a standing ovation. The wild success of the play was due in no small part<br />

to the long hours of practice by the students and the tireless encouragement<br />

and direction of the CA drama instructors Mrs. Nathalie Carr and<br />

Mr. Brian Carr. Both Mr. and Mrs. Carr graduated with a degree in Fine Arts<br />

from Southwest Texas State University and Mr. Carr is a successful actor<br />

who can currently be seen in commercials for Academy Sports and more.<br />

Congratulations to the entire Covenant Academy Drama department.<br />

GARDENING TIPS FOR JULY<br />

• Plant fall flowering annuals where your spring annuals have<br />

bloomed out. Set our seeds like zinnia, marigold, cosmos,<br />

petunia and portulaca so you’ll have color until frost. Don’t let<br />

seedlings dry out.<br />

• In summer, prune roses to keep them in shape. Continue<br />

black spot and insect treatments. Water 2” once per week.<br />

• Remove spent crepe myrtle flowers to prolong bloom<br />

production.<br />

• Weeds rob plants of valuable water, nutrients--remove them.<br />

• Great sun/heat-lovers include coral honeysuckle, coreopsis,<br />

lantana, oleanders and hamelia.<br />

• Fertilize flowers lightly, if at all; too hot for heavy feedings.<br />

• Water your lawn longer but less frequent. Deep water of<br />

about 2 - 3” per week forces plant roots to grow down, instead<br />

of sideways into sunbaked upper soil levels. Use a bowl in<br />

your yard to measure during waterings.<br />

BEAT THE HEAT<br />

There’s a lot to do when the weather is right: family picnics, working<br />

on your tan at the beach, a homerun derby on the softball field, endless<br />

hours on the golf course or lounging in your backyard hammock.<br />

Unfortunately, too much fun in the sun can be dangerous. Excessive<br />

heat exposure can cause dehydration, which in turn can cause dangerous<br />

conditions like heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke<br />

(also called sunstroke).<br />

No matter what your plans are this summer, you won’t want to miss<br />

any of them. Combating the toll of the heat and sun on your body will<br />

keep you healthy and active all summer long. Try a few of these simple<br />

precautions, and you’ll still be going strong as the leaves start to turn.<br />

WHAT TO WEAR<br />

The way you dress can go a long way towards keeping you comfortable<br />

when you’re outside in the heat. Make sure you bring:<br />

Light-Colored Clothes<br />

The white linen shirt every male movie star wears on the beach isn’t<br />

just fashionably conscious; it’s also intelligent for hot, sunny days.<br />

Dark clothing absorbs more heat and tight clothes don’t let sweat -<br />

your body’s natural cooling system - evaporate.<br />

Sunglasses<br />

Sunglasses are chic and functional. They prevent harmful ultraviolet<br />

(UV) rays from scorching your corneas and protect your eyes for<br />

many more summers to come. Choose sunglasses that block 90 to<br />

100 percent of UV rays.<br />

Hats<br />

Unlike 8-inch high heels at the beach, a hat is smart summer fashion.<br />

Throwing on a wide-brimmed hat prevents UV rays from hitting the<br />

sensitive spots on your face and keeps your skin looking young and<br />

wrinkle-free.<br />

Sunscreen<br />

Nothing knocks good days off a summer calendar like a nasty sunburn.<br />

When outdoors, use sunscreen with an SPF rating of at least<br />

15. Use a higher-rated, waterproof sunscreen if you’ll be poolside or<br />

out on the beach. Don’t forget to cover areas that burn easily: nose,<br />

ears, shoulders and back of the neck.<br />

Lip Balm<br />

Just like sunscreen protects the rest of your skin, a lip balm with<br />

SPF protection blocks out the sun and keeps in moisture for your<br />

lips. Perfect for a day on the lake or while you’re working on that<br />

summer romance.<br />

HOW TO STAY HYDRATED<br />

The heat makes you sweat, which cools you down, but that also<br />

means you’re constantly losing fluid. Here’s how to stay hydrated:<br />

Water<br />

Don’t wait until you’re thirsty! Drink water throughout the day to<br />

prevent dehydration or over exhaustion. Use the color of your urine<br />

to guide if you’re hydrated enough - the clearer the better.<br />

Juice<br />

All natural juice without added sugar not only provides hydration but<br />

also important nutrients to keep you active in hot weather. Check<br />

the label on the juice bottle and make sure it says “100 percent juice<br />

with no sugar added.”<br />

Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine<br />

While an ice cold cocktail -<br />

complete with a little paper<br />

umbrella - might sound good<br />

on the beach, it won’t be<br />

as refreshing to your body.<br />

That’s because alcohol only<br />

dehydrates you more. If you<br />

can’t barbecue without a<br />

brew, drink a bottle of water<br />

between each alcoholic beverage<br />

to stay hydrated.<br />

Like alcohol, caffeine sucks<br />

the moisture out of you. On<br />

hot days, avoid it as much<br />

as possible, especially when<br />

combined with alcohol.<br />

WHAT TO EAT<br />

The food you eat can also help<br />

you stay cool. Try adjusting<br />

your diet so that it includes:<br />

Fruits and Vegetables<br />

Fruits and vegetables are easy<br />

to digest and often high in<br />

water content. Salads and other dishes rich in seasonal produce will<br />

keep you feeling light and hydrated.<br />

Spicy Foods<br />

Popular in warm climates, the tingling feeling and accompanying<br />

sweat caused by spicy foods has a purpose; the sweat actually cools<br />

your body down.<br />

Low-Fat Meats<br />

Fat takes longer for your body to digest and carries a higher salt<br />

content, which can add extra strain on your body when you need it<br />

maximized for efficiency.<br />

WHEN TO STAY OUT OF THE SUN<br />

Avoid peak hours of sunlight when the temperatures and UV rays are<br />

at their highest, normally between 10 AM and 2 PM. That’s the best<br />

time to head inside, get food and water, let your body cool down and<br />

maybe even take a nap.<br />

When heat and humidity are at their highest, it’s never a bad time<br />

to take a break. Water sports are especially tricky because you can<br />

easily become overheated without realizing it. When in doubt, take<br />

a breather.<br />

WHERE TO HIDE<br />

If you live in an area where summer heat can become dangerous, pay<br />

close attention to any heat-related warnings. When it’s dangerous,<br />

stay inside with the A/C or fan going. If it’s not cool enough at home,<br />

find a cooling station, usually set up at public libraries and other<br />

buildings.<br />

If you must be outside, keep your activities close to a shady spot. It<br />

can provide enough of a cool down to keep you safe. Even a small<br />

drop in temperature can make a big difference.<br />

When it’s hot and you’re active, stay close to restaurants, convenience<br />

stores or any other place that can offer cold temperatures and beverages<br />

should you need them in an emergency. If you’re at the beach<br />

or pool, the cool water offers great relief from the heat.<br />

½ cup half-and-half cream<br />

2 tsp. vanilla extract<br />

12 miniature peanut butter cups, chopped<br />

DIRECTIONS:<br />

In a medium bowl, beat the sugar and eggs with an electric mixer until<br />

thick, about 3 minutes. Set aside. Pour milk into a small saucepan and<br />

bring to a simmer over low heat. Gradually drizzle the hot milk into the<br />

eggs while whisking vigorously. Then pour the whole mixture into the<br />

saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough<br />

to coat the back of a metal spoon. Do not boil.<br />

Remove from heat, and whisk in peanut butter. Allow to cool slightly, then<br />

whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, half-and-half and vanilla. Cover<br />

and refrigerate until chilled. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and<br />

freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fold in peanut butter<br />

cups when mixture is still soft, then transfer to a container and freeze until<br />

solid. http://allrecipes.com/<br />

PET INFORMATION<br />

SCHOOL’S OUT - CAN WE HAVE A PET?<br />

Summer is here, children are out of school<br />

and may need a project. What better time to<br />

get involved with a rescue group and help a<br />

dog or cat in need? That’s what fostering an<br />

animal is all about. Fostering is an important<br />

step in the transition from shelter/street to<br />

“happy ever after.” Loving Arms Pet Placement<br />

is a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats and<br />

is always in need of foster families.<br />

There is a lot more to fostering than providing<br />

food, water and a safe place to sleep. To<br />

attract potential adopters, the animal must<br />

be people friendly. Include the animal in<br />

your daily home life inside your home. Get to<br />

know them as individuals so you can share<br />

personality traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes.<br />

Treat the animal like your own and train him/<br />

her, if possible.<br />

Tell Loving Arms Pet Placement rescue in<br />

what capacity you can help. Can your home<br />

only accommodate small animals or can you<br />

foster big dogs? Can you handle puppies and<br />

kittens or only mature animals? Can you take<br />

more than one animal at once?<br />

Visit Loving Arms Pet Placement website at<br />

www.lovingarmspetplacement.com or visit<br />

us at Petsmart on Highway 6 and FM 529<br />

each Saturday from 11 AM until 5 PM.•<br />

When you or someone you know considers<br />

adopting a dog, please check out one of our<br />

five local animal shelters:<br />

1. BARC - Bureau of Animal Regulation and<br />

Care i.e. Houston’s animal control or city<br />

pound. 713-229-7300<br />

SCOOPAGE PET POOPAGE<br />

It may not be a fabulous way to walk, but<br />

please have courtesy to please scoop when<br />

your pet poops during your walks. Throughout<br />

the community trails, you will find areas to toss<br />

your pet’s poopage and in some areas, there<br />

are also bags. Carry your own grocery bags -<br />

you’ll be recycling at the same time! Many of<br />

your neighbors work hard with their lawncare<br />

and landscaping. Come with a scooper and a<br />

recycled grocery bag or anything else. Picking<br />

up after your pets shows your respect for every<br />

homeowner and our beautiful community. Pet<br />

feces damages lawns and many residents are<br />

working hard to maintaining their grass!<br />

HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW<br />

Animals that are not properly restrained pose<br />

a threat to all our residents. While you may<br />

know your pet is friendly, an animal running<br />

at someone who is walking by is very scary<br />

for that person. Many children are afraid of<br />

animals and become frightened, which could<br />

result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid<br />

the animal.<br />

Harris County Animal Control advises, “All<br />

dogs and cats must be kept under restraint<br />

while in the unincorporated areas of Harris<br />

County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat<br />

is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any<br />

unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog<br />

or cat to become a stray.”<br />

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog<br />

or cat under the following circumstances:<br />

1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not<br />

more than six (6) feet in length, if the line<br />

or leash is held by a human being, who is<br />

capable of controlling or governing the dog<br />

or cat in question<br />

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle<br />

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian<br />

and the animal does not have access to sidewalk<br />

or street.”<br />

While it may be nice to have your animal<br />

out in the yard while you work or play, it is<br />

against the law, unless the animal is properly<br />

restrained.<br />

Let’s all help keep our community a safe and<br />

comfortable place for all our residents by<br />

being responsible pet owners. This will not<br />

only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling<br />

in the area, but also the pet owner who<br />

could be held legally responsible or possibly<br />

sued for failing to properly restrain their pet.<br />

To make a complaint or report an animal that<br />

is not properly restrained please contact:<br />

5 STEPS TO A<br />

HAPPIER HEALTHIER PET<br />

1. Protect your pet from extreme weather<br />

(heat, cold, rain, etc.).<br />

2. Keep indoors or in a fenced yard and on<br />

a leash when walked.<br />

3. Make sure they’re up to date with<br />

vaccinations.<br />

4. Always make sure they’re wearing identification,<br />

so they can be returned to you if lost.<br />

5. Spay or neuter your pet.<br />

Texas Lab Rescue has labs available that are<br />

waiting to go to their forever home. Please<br />

check out their website at txlabrescue.org.<br />

PREVENT EXCESSIVE BARKING!<br />

Dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and<br />

restless. Many find relief in barking. Some respond<br />

noisily to any and all activity. Nothing<br />

is as annoying as incessant barking-even for<br />

dog lovers. If your dog is a yapper or a yowler,<br />

please consider some of these bark-abatement<br />

ideas to keep the noise down in your<br />

area. Your neighbors will thank you!<br />

• Training. Training not only helps your dog,<br />

you’ll be surprised how much it helps you,<br />

too. You may get some insight into why your<br />

dog barks so much, or what it is trying to<br />

communicate.<br />

• Citronella collars.<br />

• Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing<br />

an outspoken dog indoors or confining it<br />

to a crate cuts down on the disturbance to<br />

neighbors.<br />

• For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close<br />

drapes to help muffle street noise, or leave<br />

a radio on to mask it.<br />

• Companionship. Dogs are pack animals;<br />

they need companionship-a cat, bird or<br />

another dog. Consider a mid-day visit from<br />

a pet-sitting service or drop your pooch off<br />

at a friend’s place or a day-care facility once<br />

or twice a week.
