SAFETY AND SECURITY TIPS FROM SEAL SECURITY: PROTECT YOUR HOME WHILE YOU ARE AWAY

Request a vacation watch if you are going out of town. We also recommend placing SEAL as your contact with your alarm company for a rapid response. A SEAL officer will routinely check on your home while you are away. The officers will do a perimeter sweep of the home and check that nothing looks out of place. The request must be placed at least two weeks prior to your departure. Visit sealsecuritytexas.com/contact-us.php and download the Vacation Watch form or call the Governors Place hotline to request a Vacation Watch form to be emailed to you, then fill it out and email it to vacation@sealsecurity.com. Have a trusted neighbor, relative or friend check on your house and pick up your mail and/or packages daily so they do not pile at your doorstep. Accumulated mail can tip off criminals that you are not home. Do not post your vacation plans on social media sites and be careful what you say on your answering machine or voicemail. It is also not a good idea to leave a spare key anywhere on your property while you are away. Consider installing motion sensor lights that will automatically turn on when someone is close. These actions can avoid a home burglary if you are going out of town.

USE PRECAUTIONS WHEN PARKING

Look for a parking spot that offers good lighting and is close to the location where there are a lot of people. Lock valuables and packages in the trunk and lock all doors. If you take shopping bags out from a store to lock them in your trunk and plan to return to do more shopping, it’s a good idea to move your vehicle to another section of the parking lot or street. Criminals know that you will be coming back and can ambush you. By moving your vehicle, you give the impression you’re leaving. If you think you are being followed, do not go back to your vehicle. Return to the safety of the occupied shopping area and contact authorities.

Always carry car keys in your hand. Don’t unlock the door until you are outside your vehicle. Get in quickly and lock yourself inside.

TAKE CARE WHEN USING AN ATM

If you must use a free-standing ATM, pick one that is inside the shop, mall or in a well-lighted location. Withdraw only the amount of cash you absolutely need. Protect your PIN by shielding the ATM keypad from anyone who is standing near you. Do not throw your ATM receipt away at the ATM location.

Packages being stolen off of porches are a rampant crime during the holidays. Criminals tend to follow delivery trucks to snag packages off of doorsteps. If you know you will not be home when the package arrives, reroute the delivery to a trusted neighbor’s or relative’s address or your workplace. SEAL will be attentive in this matter.

Please be extra mindful in locking all doors to your house, closing and covering all windows so that criminals do not see your valuables.

Vehicles should be locked and objects should not be left visible on any seats or floor. Also, placing your empty gift boxes outside for pickup shows thieves what is available inside your home.

Recycling is recommended, however, break down the boxes, turn them inside out, put them in your trash receptacle and don’t place them on the curb until collection day. We are happy to continue servicing the residents of the Governors Place community and would appreciate any assistance or other input you may provide to increase the efficiency of our service to you.

Thank you, S.E.A.L. Security Solutions, LLC TXDPS C15942 If you have an immediate emergency, please call 911, as usual.

The Boy Scout Troop 987 is offering this service to your neighborhood as a service fundraiser. For $35, the scouts will place a 3’ x 5’ flag at your residence on the following national holidays (place approximately sunrise and take away approximately sundown): Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Patriot Day and Veteran’s Day. Monies raised through this project will support Scouts of Troop 987 in activities, such as attending summer camp, going on regular camping excursions and participating in other activities. This service fundraiser will also help our scouts build pride in their community while helping to earn their own way for scouting activities. If you have any questions, please contact John Angel at jangel@crstexas.com or call 713-429-2969.

We also offer for a one-time fee of $75 to come and place flag for you and then leave the flag with you and you are responsible for putting out and taking down. Governor’s Place HOA rules - Temporary flags such as these cannot be displayed more than three consecutive days.

If you decide to help us in our endeavor, please fill out your information in the form and send in your check, made payable to Troop 987, to the address below. Thank you for your support!

utilize your driveway and garage and when parking on the street is necessary, please park in the same direction as traffic. Additional parking problems have occurred at the tennis and clubhouse parking lots. As a result, the Board has adopted a Common Area Parking and Tow Policy. The Policy has been filed in the official public records with the Harris County Clerk and is available by visiting www.crestmanagement.com, clicking on Communities and selecting Governors Place. Towing will be enforced.

DEED RESTRICTION REMINDER

If you plan on making a change to your home/yard, please fill out a Request for Home Improvement - Governor’s Place form. This form (a full one page) is located in this newsletter.

• Cars may not be parked on the front lawn of your property.

• Trailers, boats, RVs, recreational vehicles must be stored out of view of the street.

• Remember that our streets are very narrow and utilize your driveway to park cars.

• Store trash cans out of street view.

• Now is the time to start cleaning out gutters and roof tops to get rid of pine needles and leaves.

• We urge parents to advise your children to ride scooters and electric toys on the sidewalks, NOT in the streets. There have been too many near misses reported and we don’t want a child to “learn their lesson” the hard way by being hit by a car.

Together as a community we must always be alert for both ourselves and our neighbors. Please phone (713-221-6000) the sheriff for anything suspicious; robbery, suspicious looking people, speeding, etc.

MAINTAINING PROPERTY VALUES

One of the important purposes of a homeowner’s association is to enforce the terms of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions that are “attached to” our properties when we buy them.

These documents provide for an Architectural Control Committee to approve changes or additions to the exteriors of our homes or lots.

If you are planning to paint your house or replace your roof, contact Crest Management at 281-579-0761 and ask for an ACC form. Please fill out the form and return it for approval by the ACC Committee.

While it may be an inconvenience, it is a means of cooperating with your neighbors, so that we all maintain the “curb appeal” that attracts buyers. This means more dollars when you want to sell your home.

Another important part of the DCCR concerns the enforcement of deed restrictions. Governors Place does this by having Crest do two monthly inspections. If you receive a notice for a deed restriction violation, don’t feel insulted but please don’t ignore it.

If you don’t understand it or think there is a mistake, call Crest Management at 281-579-0761 or send a written response. Most of the time, violations are corrected after one notice and no further action is required. Let’s all work together to help keep our community a nice place to live.

WASTE REMOVAL

Please remember not to place your garbage out any sooner than the night before the scheduled pick-up day.

After pick-up, all garbage cans should be kept out of public view.

They should not be kept in front of garages, in the front yards of any home or on the side of any home. Please make every effort to conceal the trashcans from public view on non-trash days.

Parking recreational vehicles in the community is a violation of the governing rules and regulations. We understand this is the time of year vacations and family visits are planned, so if you will take a moment to call Crest Management at 281-579-0761 to notify us as to when you will have your recreational vehicle(s) in the driveway, we will give you 1 to 2 days grace period. We understand people have to live, that is why we want to open the lines of communication. If we do not hear from you and your vehicle(s) are noticed on our regular inspection, don’t get upset when you receive a citation. Again, we will only allow parking of recreational vehicles for a short period of 1 to 2 days.

VEGETABLES • Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans and pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, cantaloupe, okra (if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and watermelon.

LAWN • Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this part of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).

• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY the variety Floratam for best pest resistance. See www.plantanswers. com/grass.htm.

TREES AND SHRUBS • Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible. In shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of the prostrate junipers.

• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early March.

However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have bloomed.

• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet of garden planting area. Early March is the ideal time to fertilize landscape plants because you give them food just before the spring growing season starts.

2015 FOOD FOR FAMILIES CAMPAIGN RAISES $26,000 FOR KATY ISD FAMILIES

Katy ISD Partners in Education is celebrating another successful Food for Families campaign, the District’s annual community initiative that supports families in need. Principals from every campus identify students and $50 grocery gift cards are given to those students’ families before the winter break.

Initially conceived as a way for Katy ISD employees at the administration building to help students and their families, Food for Families has burgeoned into a communitywide initiative that is now primarily supported by individual, private contributions. And for the first time, local eateries donated a portion of their proceeds during the inaugural “Food for Families Restaurant Week,” ultimately helping to provide gift cards for 40 families.

Food for Families, a Katy ISD Partners in Education yearly initiative, unites our Katy ISD staff and community in holiday support for select students and their families. To learn more, visit Partners in Education under the “Community” tab at www.katyisd.org or contact Tammy Stringer, 281-396-2645, tammyrstringer@katyisd.org.

HOUSTON FAMILY ARTS CENTER

“What’s wrong with this picture?” is the playful theme and question attached to each show in Houston Family Arts Center’s (HFAC) 2015-2016 season. Entering its 10th mainstage season, HFAC orchestrated a line-up of all-encompassing shows that highlight the theatre’s award-winning musical expertise, all while enveloping theatre experiences full of odd, zany, mystical and dramatic turmoil audiences love. The first half of the season as follows: March 11th-April 3rd: “Harvey” What do you get when you mix a polite and friendly man with a strange, six-foot-tall, invisible rabbit named Harvey? A sister who wants to commit her brother, but gets committed herself and a town comically turned upside down on the search for a mild-mannered hero and his invisible friend.

All performances are on the HFAC Garza Mainstage, recently named “Houston’s Best Gem of a Theatre” by the Houston Press, except for Peter Pan, which will be performed at the Berry Center.
