US 290 Program Construction Update
WWW.TIMBERGROVE.ORG
Update: US Highway 290 Construction Project By Jennifer Vickers, Timbergram Editor For Timbergrove residents who regularly travel on US Highway 290, it’s hard to remember a time when the freeway wasn’t a seemingly never-ending construction site. However, the end of the nearly-seven year-long road expansion project is within sight with the entire scope of the project anticipated for completion later this year. But when will construction be complete? What changes can Timbergrove residents expect in their daily commutes?
Neighborhood News and Discussions Committee Reports Come Early pizza + social 6:30 PM
And what new routes will open up as a result of the multi-year effort? Join us at the next TMCC General meeting for an update from Michael Zientek, a Senior Public Involvement representative with HNTB Corporation — an architecture, civil engineering consulting and construction management firm assisting with the US 290 endeavor. Mr. Zientek is solely focused on meeting the needs of stakeholders interested in the progress, planning and design of the reconstruction and widening of US 290. According to HNTB Corporation, the US 290 program is one of the most important road projects in the Greater Houston area, with an anticipated corridor population increase from 688,000 to 964,000 by the year 2040. Construction is now underway on all of the program’s 13 projects and though most construction is anticipated to be completed by late 2018, stakeholder questions continue to come in. Mr. Zientek will provide TMCC General Meeting attendees with a US 290 Program construction update, with an emphasis on the status of I-610/US 290 interchange construction and when it is anticipated to be completed.

TMCC Needs YOU! By Jennifer Vickers I f yo u ' r e f a m i l i a r w i t h t h e Timbergrove Manor Civic Club, you may already know that all of our activities from design review, neighborhood activities, coordinating private security patrols, organizing general meetings, and much, much more - are carried out by volunteers. We are thankful to have a growing roster of helpers that continue to help make our neighborhood one of the best. Recently Jennifer Bayne stepped up to join the Board as Treasurer, Michelle Kern is now coordinating Timbergram newsletter delivery and Sarita Garcia is a new Block Captain on Wister Ln. When you see these neighbors around, please join me in a warm thank you to each! However, we still need more assistance. Might you consider stepping up to help with one of the following projects? Block Captains Block Captains are the strings that help connect Timbergrove Manor. It's an easy job to connect with neighbors, gather contact info and pass along neighborhood news (usually through email forwarding, but not all residents are online.) Many Block Captains also choose to host or help organize an annual block party on National Night Out in October. The following blocks are currently without Block Captains:
vehicle’s VIN onto its windows to reduce the value of a stolen vehicle to thieves. The TMCC Security Committee is in need of a volunteer who can work with HPD to coordinate the next VIN Etching Event in Timbergrove Manor. The scope of work includes booking services with law enforcement, finding a host venue, managing attendee sign-ups, promoting the event, and recruiting additional volunteers to execute the project. If you’re organized, good with logistics and just a little tech savvy, please consider helping. Web Developer TMCC’s current website is built on a WordPress platform. We love the ease of updates and affordability of this technology but want to take our d o n a t i o n offerings to the next level. In conjunction with the organization’s goal to offer members options for reoccur ring subscriptions for annual dues, private security subscriptions and more, we are in need of a volunteer with the appropriate web development experience to select appropriate third-party providers and implement new storefront solutions.

“Welcome to the Neighborhood!” TMCC wants to be sure each new resident in our community is given a friendly greeting, introduction to the neighborhood and information about the Civic Club.

Fourth of July & Other Activities Maybe you're a born party planner, a creative-type or one of those folks can keep everything organized. If so, it sounds like you'd be a shoe-in to help with our ongoing calendar of special events. Our next social will be the annual Independence Day Ice Cream social where we'll need assistance the day of. But we need help planning and executing our roster of fun activities year-round. Newsletter Editor After more than five years as editor of The Timbergram, it's time to announce that 2018 will be my final year laying out the print edition of TMCC newsletter. This has been a labor of love that has allowed me to get to know many wonderful neighbors and I'm so grateful for that. However, the time commitment involved in writing and editing content and laying out and producing the print edition of the newsletter is more than my current schedule permits. Do you have professional or desktop publishing and layout experience? The current newsletter is designed using only Apple's Pages software - a program free to Mac users. Of course, the great thing about volunteer-driven work is adapting to meet changing needs. (So a future print newsletter could easily switch to different software depending upon the preferences of the new editor.) If you're interested in learning more about working on The Timbergram, please get in touch. Raise Your Hand Ready to volunteer? Send an email with your contact info, interests and questions to volunteer@timbergrove.org or call Jennifer Vickers at (713) 240-9671.

Hey! Was that the Easter Bunny? By3 Tim Louque, Activities Committee Timbergrove Manor’s 2018 Annual Easter Egg Hunt was MOST EGGCELLENT! This year’s event, was held on Saturday, March 24 at the Sinclair Elementary School grounds and it was once again sponsored by Elizabeth McCormick, Realtor with Heritage Texas Properties. Every year, the event is said by many people to be the best Easter Egg Hunt ever. THANK YOU Elizabeth McCormick. Candy and toys to fill approximately 1500 plastic eggs were donated again this year by Heather Mouzourakis at Heights Mobil. THANKS Heather Mouzourakis. Oh! And while we are talking about Heights Mobil, the staff there filled every one of those eggs. WOW! Thank you for THAT as well. Each year, our one hour of free play time scheduled before the hunt begins is becoming more and more popular with the children. This time, it actually took a lot of work to get them to stop playing and get to the hunting! Children and their parents took advantage of the entire park. It was uplifting to see so many children covering the playground equipment, running through the lawn, chasing balls and playing on the basketball court. Children, parents, grandparents - with food, drinks, blankets, toys and enjoyed picnics in the grass as they laughed and simply spent time together. Throughout the park, we heard sounds of happiness and fun. Everybody enjoyed wonderful
balloon creations. The face painting was exceptionally creative and beautiful this year. Families enjoyed milk, chocolate milk, orange juice, water, coffee and everyone chose their favorite breakfast pastries. And then, at 10:00 on the dot, the hunt started! Even before the sun came up, the candy filled eggs were hidden three age specific areas by Timbergrove Manor Civic Club volunteers. As the ribbons were cut and 3, 2, 1 was counted down, the children excitedly dashed here and there, everywhere, tossing the eggs in their favorite Easter baskets. Because every child was asked to go to a table literally covered in prizes and select their favorite toy, the eggs were frenetically emptied, re-assembled and placed in several bins to be used again next year, so they could then go and claim their choice prize. And what is the highlight of all Easter Egg Hunt highlights? A picture with the Easter Bunny of course! There was an estimated 20 / 80 mixture of fear and delightful anticipation. Children lined up with their parents and dog owners standing with their sweet puppies and random adults as giddy as school kids were waiting to have a picture taken with the Easter Bunny.Of course, none of this would have been possible without the help of so many generous volunteers. THANK YOU! We appreciate you and we need YOU! If you’d be interested in volunteering to help us out in any way possible with future events, please send an e-mail to Tim Louque at activities@timbergrove.org

Day, Dusk and Dark Day, dusk and dark. Some kinds of mosquitoes are active at any time, day or night. West Nile virus mosquitoes are active from dusk to dawn; but mosquitoes that carry Zika and chikungunya are active in shady areas all day. Mosquitoes can bite anytime the temperature rises above 55°F.
DEET DEET or another mosquito repellent recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is your best defense if you must be outdoors when mosquitoes are active.

SNC-14 Update by Darlene Wayt Super Neighborhood Council 14 (SNC-14) meets the second Thursday of even months from 6:15 p.m. – 7:45 p.m. at Lazybrook Baptist Church, 1822 W. 20th St. The next meeting is June 14 in the Choir Room of the Church. Houston Police Department (HPD) Officers and a representative from the City of Houston (COH) Department of Neighborhoods attend these meetings, providing a good opportunity to express your concerns directly to HPD and the COH in a small group setting. Currently, SNC-14 is composed of active delegates from 7 area civic clubs and home owners associations. If you are a community-minded person who would like to volunteer some time, please consider the SNC-14. On the Executive Council, the Vice President’s position is vacant; the Chair of the Parks & Beautification Committee is also vacant. At our April meeting, Greg Gilbert, our current President, announced that he will be resigning at the June 14 meeting. Greg and his family will be leaving their current residence and movin’ on. We wish him well and thank him for his service, particularly for initiating the Holly Park/Timbergrove Traffic Study and for being the neighborhood liaison with the COH Traffic Management Branch for the past few years. Speaking of which … Greg, working with the COH and the Neighborhood Traffic Advisory Group he organized, reported that speed cushions will be installed on Seamist, Greengrass, and Salford. Hurricane Harvey curtailed funding so these streets were prioritized. Contact Greg at glgilbert2003@gmail.com to thank him for all he has done to ensure that Timbergrove streets remain safe and be sure to ask him about his experience as SNC-14 President if you are interested in volunteering. Other information from the April meeting …
BROUGHT TO YOU BY HEIGHTS PEDO ORTHO How often do we need dental cleanings while in braces? Home dental care with braces can be challenging. Dr. Darsey, Dr. Lindhorst, and the team at Heights Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics offer detailed dental brushing and flossing instructions to our patients. We make sure our patients with braces have the tools they need to keep their teeth clean and healthy. We also encourage our orthodontic patients to see our hygienist every 3 or 4 months as opposed to the standard 6 month cleaning. Why is frequent dental cleaning important? Consequences of poor oral hygiene while in braces can be extremely serious. Plaque, tartar, and food find nooks and stubbornly stick to the teeth. Over time, these bacterial pods of food and plaque cause unsightly white circles around brackets and lead to cavities. Unfortunately, both of our doctors witness this too often. We find that getting professional dental cleaning on a more frequent basis leads to better oral home care and amazing smiles after braces are removed!
HPD Officer Kenneth Bigger reported that although most crime categories are down, home burglaries and burglaries of motor vehicles continue to be a problem all over the City. Do not leave valuables in your vehicle. While gone from home, use home alarms, get to know your neighbors, ask people you trust to keep an eye on your property. At home, do not open your door to strangers but let them know you are home by speaking through your locked door. Nonemergency HPD is 713-884-3131; emergency is 911. Contact Officer Bigger at Kenneth.Bigger@HoustonPolice.org. In the Bryce/W. 11th Street area, odor monitoring equipment has been installed and is being tested at the Bryce Chemical Feed Station. For more information, contact Joe Hanak, COH Wastewater Facilities, at Joe.Hanak@houstontx.gov or 832-395-2399. Fence removal is underway to repair the foundation of the fence that surrounds the Chemical Feed Station. When this work is complete, new plantings will be put in the rain garden and new trees will be installed. The new trees will be watered by Trees for Houston for two years during dry periods. The entire project should be completed by May 21. For more information, contact Sherry Weesner, MHRA.tirz5@gmail.com. To learn about the SNC-14, visit the website at www.snc-14.org. If you are interested in filling some vacancies, read the Bylaws and Policies & Procedures, sit in on a meeting or contact Greg Gilbert at glgilbert2003@gmail.com or Darlene Wayt at dwayt@comcast.net.

E2 = Excellent Eats By Jonathan Nassar
The Best Part of Waking Up When I met my wife, she told me she didn't like coffee. So naturally, I repeatedly took her to coffeeshops. Now, coffee is a part of every weekend for us, and our most useful coffee shops also have some food offerings (more than the basic pastry options) so we can make sure the kids get something decent too. Just about every direction we drive, we go by a coffeeshop, so I thought I would share a few we like. These are casual places where you wouldn’t feel obligated to order a full meal if you visited - but you would certainly have that option if you wanted. By and large, these are establishments where you order your food and drinks at the counter, pick up the drinks at the counter, and your food will be brought to you. Don’t expect much in the way of
wait staff — you’ll probably have to get your own water, forks, and napkins. M y w i f e a n d I a re f a n s o f Slowpokes, on 34th, one light east of Ella. Whether we get a sandwich or the molletes, we can find something to snack on while us parents get some caffeine. They also have a great beer and wine selection, a small assortment of board games, and periodic events. If you stop by for chess night, you’ll likely get invited to sit down and test your strategic thinking. Then there’s Boomtown, in the 19th St shopping strip. Boomtown is well known for their roasted coffees around Houston, but I also love their BLT and their salad, though I’ve liked all of their food options that I’ve tried. They don’t have a ton of space for the kids to run around, but walking around the shopping center is usually enough to burn a little energy anyway.
More out of the way, there is Paper Co, housed in Ecclesia Church at the back of the neighborhood east of Houston Ave in the Washington Corridor. We visit Paper Co when we want to go a little out of the way to some place we don’t go to too often. Aside from having great coffee and tea, they have excellent breakfast and lunch options, and some of the proceeds go toward funding some of their charitable activities. Consider checking it out! A new entrant in our neighborhood is Tea + Victory - we were delighted to find out they have some excellent coffee as well as their food options! It sounds like it will be another fun option to go to with the kids, so we’re excited to add another local place to our rotation. There are so many great places like this around Houston, I have barely scratched the surface. As summer gets closer and closer my family is going to be spending more time retreating to these air conditioned oases. Have fun!

technology buyers will see every time you lower the price. This could ultimately lead to a lower selling price. Myth #2 – FSBO make more money. Maybe but maybe not! Realtors know the market & are up to date on all of the latest forms/legal issues. Also, without a proper market analysis you could actually set your price to low. Myth #3 – Failure to properly prepare your home for sale. You will need to visualize your home as a buyer would. Declutter, deep clean, paint if needed, freshen up your flower beds. And above all else make sure the front door and porch are clean & inviting.
Q. What are some common myths about selling a home? A. Everyone you know suddenly becomes an expert on the best techniques to sell a house. However, many may be sharing common myths. Myth #1 – Set the price high so there is room for negotiation. This is common mistake, as this strategy typically backfires. Many buyers will not even tour a property that is overpriced. And with all the available
Myth #4 – Not offering a counter to low offers. It is not personal it is business. Buyers use this strategy to begin negotiations. Always counter, obviously the buyer liked your home enough to make a offer. Do you have a real estate question you want answered? Feel free to call or text me at 713-8228555. Perhaps I’ll feature your question in the next issue!
