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 />

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

keeping your property in good condition, pay your assessments<br />
on time and serving on Committees. With this kind of cooperation<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 />

<strong>Lakeville</strong> | <strong>July</strong> <strong>2017</strong>7<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 />
23
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 />

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 />

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.
