Back to School: Sinclair Elementary Update By Traci Riley and Jennifer Vickers As neighborhood kids return to classes, things at our local school, Sinclair Elementary, are getting into full swing. This year, residents living near the campus are seeing the carpool line form a little earlier as HISD new elementary start times of 7:30 a.m. take effect. If your commute schedule coincides, please be sure to leave enough time to get to work while being mindful of the little ones heading to class. You’ll also notice the school’s after school program is putting out cones and doing their best to ensure students are safe after classes wind to an end. Area residents will also want to mark their calendars for the evening of September 20 when Sinclair Elementary teachers will welcome parents for an open house from 5 - 8 p.m. They are hoping for significant attendance which will mean you may see some unfamiliar cars parked along the curb nearby that evening. Of course, we should all mark our calendars for the fun fall activities the new school year brings. Once again, the Sinclair PTO will be hosting a Pumpkin Patch in October. Come to pick out the perfect seasonal decor and jack-o-lantern materials. It’s also a fun spot for seasonal photos for yourself or your little ones — furry friends included! Just like last year, Sinclair PTO is organizing Spooky Saturdays with fun treats, crafts, Katz Coffee and more on Saturday mornings at the pumpkin patch.

Super Neighborhood Council 14 News Submitted by Darlene Wayt, SNC-14 Correspondence Secretary, dwayt@comcast.net
within Timbergrove, some in progress and some planned:
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. 18th Street. The next meeting is October 11. An HPD Officer and a City of Houston Department of Neighborhoods (COH DON) representative attend these meetings, providing a good opportunity to speak directly to HPD and the COH.
• Stanley Park, south of Timbergrove (which has been halted by the City and the Harris County Flood Control District pending a flood impact study)
The August meeting began with HPD Officer Kenneth Bigger providing crime statistics and answering questions. Burglaries from Motor Vehicles (BMV’s) continue to be a city-wide problem. The best defense for BMV’s is prevention by not leaving anything of value in your vehicle. Officer Bigger fielded many questions about speeding & illegal parking and made note of problem areas to report back to HPD for future patrols. Regarding traffic control measures like the installation of traffic lights or changing the configuration of turn lanes, it is best to contact CM Ellen Cohen’s office, districtc@houstontx.gov or 832-393-3004 , for guidance as to how to proceed for such requests. Contact O f fi c e r Bigger at kenneth.bigger@houstonpolice.org. Area Housing Developments Record attendance at the SNC-14 August meeting indicates that residents are very concerned about the housing developments that are surrounding and
• Palisades Park, south of Timbergrove • Timbergrove Yards, Timbergrove Green and Timbergrove Trails all on W. 11th Street • Timbergrove Heights on 12th Street • Ella Timbergrove at 12th Street & Ella • Ella Grovewood at Ella & Grovewood; • Potential development of property next to Minimax. Concerns are flooding, runoff and lack of drainage; stress on infrastructure; traffic; and access, especially during a flood event. Residents are concerned that filling in a ravine; eliminating permeable soil, removing trees/grass/shrubs/bushes and replacing them with concrete will exacerbate flooding and that the City and County need to make public safety the first and primary consideration in the permit process for all development projects. What can you do to help? The S N C - 1 4 ’s C O H D e p a r t m e n t o f Neighborhoods representative strongly encouraged residents to contact CM Ellen Cohen and the five at-large council members: CM Ellen Cohen at districtc@houstontx.gov or 832-393-3004; Mike Knox at atlarge1@houstontx.gov or 832-393-3014; David Robinson at
atlarge2@houstontx.gov or 832-393-3013; Michael Kubosh at atlarge3@houstontx.gov or 832-393-3005; Amanda Edwards at atlarge4@houstontx.gov or 832-393-3012; and Jack Christie at atlarge5@houstontx.gov or 832-393-3017. You do not have to be an engineer (it will probably help, though) to express your concerns and opinions about the impact of these development projects on public safety, livability and the very real concern of even more devastation from a flood event, given that more permeable ground and tree transpiration* will be eliminated. Thanks to Our Volunteers A huge thank you to Ashley Stubbs, SNC-14 Correspondence Secretary and Chair of Parks & Beautification, and to John Zavala, SNC-14 Vice President and Chair of Infrastructure because they have devoted an enor mous amount of volunteer time and effort attending COH Council meetings; Harris County Flood Control meetings; and meetings with various departments within the COH and County; researching regulations, land sales and permit applications; voicing their findings and residents’ concerns to City and County officials and reporting back to the SNC-14.Visit www.snc-14.org for their contact information if you would like to help. West 11th Street Park Renaming The renaming effort of W. 11th St. Park to the Lorraine Cherry Nature Preserve is progressing thanks to Friends
Super Neighborhood 14 News (cont.) of W. 11th St. Park, especially their board member Michelle Colvard. In May the application with over 700 petition signatures was submitted to the Houston Parks & Recreation Department (HPARD). On July 20, HPARD called for an e-meeting and an evote of the Park Naming Committee Members. The TMCC and the SNC-14 voted in favor of the renaming. As of the date of this Timbergram submission, HPARD has not reported the final results of the vote. The SNC-14 will continue to follow up. Please visit www.snc-14.org and we hope to see you at the October 11 meeting. *A tree is an gigantic water pump that can absorb enormous amounts of water and convert the water into vapor that is released into the atmosphere.

What’s Up at Jaycee Park? It has been a fun summer at Jaycee Park! The splash pad and tennis courts stayed busy and were enjoyed by all. Tennis lessons through the Houston Youth Tennis will continue at Jaycee Park throughout the fall. You can find specific details by following at bit.ly/JayceeTennisFall2018 The Jaycee Park sign on Seamist was showing some wear and, thanks to the Houston Parks Department, received an upgrade in early July. We are working to get the cracked drainage pipes on the east side of the park repaired as well. Another Park project we continue to work on is lobbying councilwoman Cohen’s o f fi c e t o b e t h e recipient of g rant
funds for a mini murals project as funds become available. We have several utility boxes around the perimeter of the park. If you’d like to volunteer to help or support the park, we’d love to have you! Email volunteer@timbergrove.org and we will be in touch.

Residents Respond to Area Development By Micah Heilbrun, Timbergrove, Section 5 Resident, TMCC Director In Hurricane Harvey, friends and neighbors in Section 5 came together to help each other to safety during the rains and comforted one another when the floodwaters receded. In the aftermath, we tallied the tears and losses: homes, cars, properties, memories and, sadly, even some longtime residents who made the hard decision to move on. For those who stayed to rebuild, many felt a stronger sense of kinship and caring for our neighbors who persevered during the difficult days and months afterwards. Houston expected their city and elected leaders to live up to the promises made on countless news broadcasts that steps would be taken to make the city safer and more resilient. In April 2018, Section 5 residents noticed that 24 dump trucks entered the Stanley Park area from Shirkmere and beginning filling in the E-105 rivulet that runs along the south side of Queenswood and drains stormwater into the White Oak Bayou. The area lies completely within the 100-year floodplain and is regulated jointly by the City of Houston Floodplain Management Office and the Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD). Section 5 residents rallied together by meeting in homes to understand how development could possibly be permitted in this area. We learned that Lovett Homes, d/b/a Stanley Park Developments, was planning to build 77 townhomes and force dual access through Shirkmere and Shelterwood. We believed, and have proven, that Lovett Homes/Stanley Park failed to comply with City of Houston and HCFCD required permitting and unlawfully filled in the E-105 ravine. At the time of this writing, illegal fill totaling thousands of cubic yards still remains to obstruct storm water flow and add debris into the White Oak Bayou watershed. In June 2018, we attended HCFCD public meetings and educated ourselves on the limited public resources available to us. We knew little to nothing about the
process but were committed to being rational and accurate on the facts. Volunteers researched regulations, sought experts, made countless calls, built websites, filed open records requests, raised awareness and supported each other’s efforts. Through one resident’s hard work, we were able to secure a meeting with HCFCD’s leadership, Russ Poppe, and City of Houston’s Chief Resilience Officer, Steve Costello. City of Houston Council member, Ellen Cohen was invited to attend the meeting but c a n c e l e d t h at m o r n i n g. H C F C D confirmed what we had learned: Lovett Homes/Stanley Park had no permits to fill in E-105 and no drainage plans filed for the Stanley Park development. As a direct result of Section 5’s grass roots efforts, HCFCD withdrew the initial per mits for the Stanley Park development. It took more work but Mayor Turner also “red-tagged” the development and it has remained dormant but under Section 5 residents’ watchful eyes. In June and July 2018, Section 5 residents appeared five times before City of Houston Council in public meetings to request g reater oversight and enforcement on permitting in the 100year and 500-year floodplain for White Oak Bayou. A public donation and petition website helped drive awareness and several residents kept the fight visible on social media. Funds are currently allocated to pay for a private engineering study on the impact of proposed Stanley Park, and newly disclosed, Palisades Park which plans to build 100+ townhomes south of Grace Bible Church. In a public meeting on July 19, we shared our research and findings with neighbors. None of these developments have disclosed drainage plans to show how storm water will be conveyed or surface sheet flow (flooding) controlled. We have shown Lovett Homes/Stanley Park tried to “double-dip” on detention credits. We believe that these developments, if allowed, are certain to negatively impact storm drainage and flooding in the overtaxed E-105 area.
Please consider joining your neighbors to raise visibility on new developments in the greater Timbergrove areas. We accept certain facts about living in Houston. But unsafe and irresponsible developments funded by developers who donate to favored politicians and care little about following the required regulations and permitting process cannot be allowed. We have had some initial success but know that the road is long and arduous ahead. We welcome v o l u n t e e r s , s u p p o r t e r s , p a t ro n s , concerned citizens and neighbors. Everyone has time, talents or treasure – and every voice counts in this fight. We have been encouraged and sustained by so many neighbors.

Taking it Slow and Easy on the Streets of Timbergrove Good news for the residents who supported original and modified plans for speed cushion installation in the northwestern portions of Timbergrove Manor and near Jaycee Park. TMCC Resident and independent publisher of “The Nor’westerner” newsletter Ben Crabb re ports “infor mation received from the Director of the NTMP-Traffic Division provides that the installation of the speed cushions on Greengrass, Seamist and Salford will commence” the week of August 11. At press time, the installation was underway. Unfortunately, according to Crabb’s update, the Director’s requests made to Council Member Cohen’s office for
funding installation of the rest of the speed cushions, as the program’s study recommended, has not been responded to. Please consider taking a moment to reach out to Council Member Cohen at districtc@houstontx.gov or 832-393-3004.

Meet the New Friends of WESP President By Helen Shumway, President , Friends of WESP
As you may be aware, Lorraine Cherry, former president of Friends of the West 11th Street Park, passed away in December. I had the pleasure and honor to serve with her as a board member of the Friends since its inception in 1998. We lost a strong voice for our park and the Timbergrove community, but I hope that I, along with the other board members, will continue to support the H o u s t o n P a r k s a n d Re c r e a t i o n D e p a r t m e n t ( H PA R D ) a n d t h e Timbergrove community in the future m a i n t e n a n c e, i m p rove m e n t s a n d conservation of West 11th Street Park. The Friends have been working with the Park community to honor Lorraine’s commitment and contribution to the Park. We have submitted a petition with more than 788 signatures to the HPARD naming committee requesting that the Park be renamed the Lorraine Cherry
Nature Preserve. We are waiting on HPARD’s review of this petition. After it has gone through their internal process, HPARD will present the petition to the City of Houston Council for final approval. Though the Friends main focus this year has been facilitating this renaming process, we continue to oversee the general activities and status of the Park. We hope to work on the butterfly gardens located on the south side of the Park and will appreciate any and all volunteers. If you have any questions regarding West 11th Street Park or are interested in volunteering, please contact us via email at donatewest11th@gmail.com or by mail at Friends of West 11th Street Park, P.O. Box 7679, Houston TX 77270-7679. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you in the Park!
Hummingbird Season In September migrating hummingbirds can be found at your feeders and natural nectar sources. Keeping feeders clean, filled, and in a shady area will encourage visitors. Try this simple recipe for nectar:
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add 1 cup of granulated sugar, stir until dissolved. Allow to cool, fill feeders.
what homes have sold for in the last 6-12 months. Sold prices are a stronger indication than “asking” prices. How similar are the homes that sold to your home in size and features? 2. Buyers will make an offer based on their ability to pay and how much they like your home compared to other homes for sale.
Q. Who determines the value of my home? A. When you’re ready to sell your home, you may be wondering what price to ask and how much you’ll get. There are two main people who determine the initial and final price of a home. 1. Appraisers will look at recent comparable sales. You can look online and see
Did you notice I left someone important out? What about you, the seller? Only the market determines the final price at which your home will sell, however, as the seller you can influence how long it will take to sell by offering a reasonable price. To learn more, ask for my Free Report called “6 Steps For Selling Your Home For TOP DOLLAR.” I’ll send a copy right over to you. Do you have a real estate question you want answered? Feel free to call me at 713822-8555. Perhaps I’ll feature it in my next article!
E2 = Excellent Eats By Jonathan Nassar
Empanada Time When I try to explain what an empanada is, I don't normally have a lot of trouble - think of a hot pocket shaped like a half-moon. Or if you're familiar with British food, think of a pasty. Or maybe think of a Jamaican patty. A lot of cultures have similar analogues: the calzone, the samosa. Every country makes their empanada variant differently - some are sweet, some are savory, some use a more flaky bread, and so on. What I grew up with is different than from what you experienced - and I love the diversity of approaches different cultures take. If I seem excited about empanadas, it's because I think they're a great comfort food. I grew up eating a variety of them Venezuelan, Argentine, Cuban, Mexican - and the empanadas were always the first to disappear from the dinner table.
And so I also love it when people stretch the empanada possibilities even more. Thankfully, I can visit the Empanada Company on TC Jester W, a little south of 34th. It's a small but wellkept space: walk in, order at the counter, and sit down anywhere or take your empanadas to go. The empanadas have a definite Mexican-style, but with some non-traditional flavors added. Aside from the classic fruit empanadas that you m i g h t fi n d i n o t h e r Mexican bakeries around Houston (of which they have plenty of flavors), they also have nutella, guayaba, and cajeta. Going further, they have savory empanadas such as brisket, mole chicken, and a variety of breakfast empanadas stuffed with egg. Most of the options fall into the $2-3 range, so you can get a variety as a meal.
For those who work downtown, there's an empanada place in the downtown tunnels as well, called 5411 Empanadas. 5411 Empanadas is a Chicago transplant, serving a small but tasty menu of Argentine empanadas for breakfast and for lunch, including c o m b o s a n d d e s s e r t e m p a n a d a s. Argentine empanadas have a lighter, slightly more chewy crust, compared with Mexican empanadas which are a bit more bready. As with any lunch place in downtown, try to avoid the lunch rush or expect to wait in line. The little tunnel location definitely does not have enough seating for everyone. There are a few other places around town where you can get an empanada, usually a restaurant that offers one or two as an appetizer. More nearby places to get a variety of empanadas makes me happy, I hope to see more!

Security Committee Update As you can see on the adjacent page, a recent uptick in thefts in the neighborhood has led to the highest yearto-date crime in the area in recent years. While our goal of minimizing burglaries continues to show progress from the concerning peek occurrences in 2015, 2018 mirrors the trend of increased thefts and auto-thefts. Meanwhile, we’ve seen a decrease in financial support for private security patrols. With less than $55,000 raised for the current year, giving is at only 75% of this time in 2017. Total donations collected make up only 60% of our budgeted goal.

How should we hydrate our kids for school without causing cavities? It’s that time again when parents have to pack lunches and grocery shop with shelves full of tempting sugar filled snacks! There are many reasons why these snacks are bad for our kids, but we will focus on how they affect our teeth. Did you know that juice (even the “organic” kind), sport drinks, soda and lemonade pack between eight and twelve teaspoons of sugar in a serving? Worse than the sugar, their acid content is similar in pH to that of battery acid! This acid dissolves the delicate outer layer of enamel and sneaks sugar into tooth crevices for bacteria to thrive.

Take our advice ... Skip the juice isle and go for water instead. Flavored waters are fine as long as the sugar content is zero. Milk is also a great lunch addition, it has loads of protein and only one teaspoon of sugar. On the field? Our little athletes don’t need Gatorade, have them hydrate with water and replenish protein/electrolytes with chocolate milk. Save the “liquid sugars” for special occasions and save a few dental visits!
