There are three (3) drought stages. Harris County MUD No. 183 has installed signs throughout the District to notify its customers when drought measures are in effect. The Drought Contingency Plan stages, targets, restrictions, water rates and surcharges to be implemented during each stage are shown below.

SCS Management Services is contracted to enforce our deed restriction guidelines in an effort to continuously improve our community and keep property values up. We would like to ask everyone to refer to their deed restrictions on issues that might pertain to our community. Citing (if applicable to your guidelines) could result from one or more of the following: 1) Garage door paint should match your house or trim. 2) Houses/garages should be clean of dirt and mildew. 3) House, garage and trim in need of repainting (i.e. - fading, peeling or poor quality of paint). 4) Trim boards, garage doors, shutters or gutters in need of repair. 5) Oil stains in the driveway or street. 6) Flower beds, shrubs or trees that need weeding or pruning. 7) Yard Decorations should be repaired/maintained as needed. Compliance with our community guidelines is greatly appreciated.

“I’m In PAIN” Can Chiropractic Help ME ? We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor of chiropractic can help my problem?” We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, (procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. We will make this special program available through October. The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient.

PLAYING IT SAFE ON HALLOWEEN

Following are a few safety tips that will ensure that Halloween will be a howling good time for all: • Welcome trick-or-treaters at home by turning on your exterior lights. • Drive slowly all evening - you never know what creature might suddenly cross your path. • Report any suspicious or criminal activity to your local police or sheriff’s department. • Make sure costumes are flameretardant so little ones aren’t in danger near lit jack-o-lanterns and other fire hazards. • Try using makeup instead of a mask. Masks can be hot and uncomfortable, but more importantly, can obstruct a child’s vision when crossing streets or going up and down steps. • Make sure kids wear light colors or put reflective tape on their costumes. • Challenge kids to create costumes that don’t need weapons to be scary and fun. • Make sure older kids go out in pairs or groups. Younger children should be accompanied by an adult.

• Set a time limit for children to trickor-treat. Together, map out a safe route so you’ll know where they’ll be. Remind them not to take short cuts. • Remind kids not to enter a strange house or car. • Send them out on a full stomach and remind them not to eat their treats until they get home. • Check out treats at home in a well-lit area. • What to eat? Only unopened candies and other treats that are in original wrappers. Inspect fruit and homemade goodies for anything suspicious. Halloween is notoriously a night of pranks. Toilet papering a house or filling mailboxes with shaving cream are not unusual. Try to get a handle on your children’s plans before they go out. Explain that while you want them to have a good time, some tricks could hurt others or vandalize property. Emphasize that you disapprove of this type of activity. Be safe and have fun!

The Harris County Municipal Utility District #183 has a contract through Harris County for one Deputy from the Sheriff’s Department to patrol the District. The MUD has also hired five part-time off duty police officers to patrol the District as needed. Their jobs are to watch out for suspicious persons and/or activities and report any incidents to the Sheriff’s Department for further action. The Deputy Sheriff and the part-time off duty police officers patrol the Windsong and Windsong Place communities as well as any commercial properties within the District.

TRASH SERVICE INFORMATION Royal Disposal collects our trash. The homeowner’s maintenance fee does not pay for trash pick-up. Residents are billed quarterly in advance on an individual basis. A letter regarding this service was mailed to all residents in January and articles were published for the first few months of 2011 in the “Windsong Whistler.” Information is also published on a monthly basis on the inside back cover. If your trash is currently not being picked up, please call Royal Disposal to start service at 713-526-1536.

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR We would like to address one of the items that the Windsong Community Improvement Association gets the most complaints about. We receive many complaints from homeowners about vehicles parked on the street blocking the flow of traffic. The reason for that is because the roads were not designed with a parking lane. There is not enough width to allow for a parking lane. More seriously, when an emergency vehicle is unable to obtain egress and ingress to a street, precious minutes are lost that could mean loss of life/and or property.

4 Need Extra Income? 4 Wanting to make a change? 4 Have you ever wanted to run your own business?

The problem becomes intolerable in cul-de-sacs where emergency vehicles or others cannot turn around due to vehicles parking inappropriately and not parallel to the curb. The neighbors of these improperly parked vehicles are inconvenienced when they have to go out of their way to get around them.

Start your own Commercial Cleaning Business. Down Payment...$795 Total Cost...$2,295

Be aware that Law Enforcement can and will ticket vehicles parked too far from the curb, parked the wrong way on the street, parked facing in on a cul-de-sac instead of parallel to the curb or parking too close to a fire hydrant or a traffic sign.

Freedom that comes from running your own business is...Priceless! $

Everyone can “look the other way” and tolerate a vehicle parked temporarily for a visitor. We are referring to vehicles parked overnight, day after day. Please try to think of others and be a good neighbor. Don’t block your neighbor’s ability to enter and exit his driveway safely or block his/or her mailbox. We know that the homes in Windsong have two car garages. If you have multiple vehicles, please try to park them in the driveway and/or the garage overnight and whenever possible. Your neighbors will thank you! WCIA Board of Directors

SPECIAL PROJECT COMING UP?

WINDSONG CIA RESIDENT DEED RESTRICTION COMPLAINT FORM

1. First things firstâ&#x20AC;Śan Architectural Control Application needs to be completed and submitted to Windsong CIA c/o SCS management Services before any work is started. 2. Include samples of paint, shingles, etc. with the application. 3. Once submitted, SCS Management Services will forward the application to the Architectural Control Committee for review. 4. Wait for a written approval from the ACC before beginning any work.

The Board of Directors receives resident complaint forms on a monthly basis. We thank those who take the time to send them. The forms are reviewed at the monthly Board meetings and then referred to SCS Management Services to process. SCS verifies the report during their next drive-by deed restriction patrol of the community. Many times we receive complaints such as disturbing the peace, animal smells coming from a house or yard, barking dogs, neighbor to neighbor disputes, etc. We want to let you know that the association cannot enforce these types of reports.

Contact SCS at 281-463-1777 if you need an application.

_____________________________________________________________________

The Board of Directors and the Architectural Control Committee are concerned that residents are completing projects without prior approval. Did you know that if you complete any project that does not meet architectural guidelines you are in violation of the deed restrictions? The Association has the right to take action to enforce the deed restrictions and request the removal or modification of your improvement. We want you to know before hand so that you do not spend money on improvements that may not be approved. Remember, that the deed restrictions and the architectural guidelines are in place to protect neighborhood harmony and maintain everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property values.

PET HOTLINE NEWS

Kittens and puppies are being dumped in Subdivisions and shopping strips. They will not find good homes. Most will be taken by the pound or shelter and those are overflowing with pets. They cannot help but have to euthanize some. You, as a responsible pet owner can be of great help by having your cat or dog spayed or neutered and not worry about finding homes for the offspring. You will have a healthier and happy pet. Another and very important thing you can do is have a collar with some form of ID and your phone number on it. Pet stores have special ID’s for your pets. Many pet owners are now “chipping” the pets. If found and taken to a vet they can scan chip and find the owner. If your pet has a rabies tag, the vet has your name and #. The first thing I ask a caller is “does the pet have ID on it.” If it does, I will help contact the # on the ID and get the pet to it’s owner ASAP. Or, the owner can pick up their lost pet. Having an ID on a pet makes life easier for all. Marie Nugent - 281-859-1104

out on virtually any organic substance, including wood, paper, carpet, insulation and food. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, especially if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed.

MOLD MANAGEMENT

For more information on how to clean up residential mold problems and how to prevent mold growth, download the Environmental Protection Agency’s free publication, A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home at www.epa. gov/mold/pdfs/moldguide.pdf.

It’s a problem man has battled since the dawn of time - controlling mold. It lurks in the corners and can cause major damage and nasty health issues. As long as moisture and oxygen are present, mold can grow indoors or

It is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. However, mold growth can be controlled by keeping moisture in check. Moisture control is key - mold cannot grow without it. Left untreated, mold gradually destroys the material on which it is growing. Because molds produce allergens, irritants and toxins, they have the potential to cause a variety of health problems and can exacerbate existing conditions, such as asthma. If mold is a problem in your home, clean up the mold and get rid of the excess water or moisture. If an area becomes water damaged, it is important to dry that space and any damaged items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. Fix leaky plumbing or other sources of water to prevent recurrence. Wash mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water and dry completely. Absorbent materials (such as ceiling tiles and carpet) that become moldy may have to be replaced.

GARDENING TIPS FOR OCTOBER

• Dig and store caladiums before the foliage dies. Allow the bulbs to dry in the shade, shake off the dried soil and dust with sulphur to control fungus. Store by hanging in open mesh bags or old panty hose. • Flowers planted for spring can begin when the temperatures are going to stay cooler. Shrubs and trees can be planted now. Woody plants concentrate on root growth through the winter and the more headstart they can get before summer, the better. • October 15th is about the time for dividing and planting daylilies. • Watch out for brown patch in St. Augustine grass. These circular brown patches are caused by a fungus that is activated by moist cool weather. Control with Daconil. • If you need to do any pruning, do it early in the month. The re-growth stimulated by pruning needs to harden off before that odd-ball frost of Halloween. Prune fruit trees when leaves begin to fall. Remove all dead, weak and over-crowded growth. Tip back main branches to control size and shape. Spray w/dormant oil when temperature is between 30-60 degrees. • Cut back tops of perennials after they have bloomed. Divide roots and transplant anytime from now until March, the earlier the better. • Get the ant baits down. This will greatly reduce your spring populations. • Clover left over from last year may be growing. It’s best to hit it with the post-emerge herbicides in October and November. At least two applications are usually needed, even if done this early. • For color throughout the winter, begin planting pansies.
