NBHA YARD LIGHT REMINDER
The Nassau Bay Homes Association (NBHA) would like to remind each homeowner in the Association to ensure their yard lights are in compliance. NBHA recently surveyed yards the week of September 17th to review compliance. Homes in the elevation process may not yet be in a position to have a yard light at this time – NBHA does expect that one will be installed at the conclusion of the process. Please let NBHA know if you might be in that position. Also a quick reminder that an Architectural Review Application must be approved and on file at the NBHA office. New roofs, new fences, new windows, painting any part of the exterior, and such projects must be approved by the board. Get the application online at http://nbhaweb.com or by sending an email to residentservice@ nbhomesassociation.comcastbiz.net
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Fire Prevention Week is October 7-13, 2018 and this year's theme is "Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware – fire can happen anywhere.” The Fire Department encourages Nassau Bay citizens to be aware of their surroundings, look for available ways out in the event of a fire or other emergency, respond when the smoke alarm sounds by exiting the building immediately and to support the many public safety activities and efforts of Nassau Bay's fire and emergency services during Fire Prevention Week. Every year, the majority of fire deaths in North America happen at home. Today’s home fires burn faster than ever. In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. As you prepare your family's fire and emergency plan, remember to look, listen, learn and be aware. Look for places fire could start. Take a good look around your home for fire dangers and address the problems. Some of the fire dangers that you might find will be in the kitchen, around heaters, and with electricity. Listen for the sound of the alarm. A working smoke alarm will clue you in that you need to escape. Fire moves fast, and you could have only minutes to get out safely once the smoke alarm sounds. Make sure everyone knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to do when they hear it. Learn two ways out of every room. Draw a map of each level of the home, showing all doors, windows and two ways out of every room. In past years, Fire Prevention Week culminated with the annual NBVFD Open House. With the construction of the new Nassau Bay Volunteer Fire Department Fire Station & EMS Facility almost complete, the annual NBVFD Open House will be scheduled for November 2018. Please look for the date of the Open House in the next issue of the Compass Rose Newsletter.
NEW TREES PLANTED IN HOWARD WARD PARK
Honoring outgoing Mayor Pro Tem Dr. Sandra Mossman and Councilmember Bob Warters, Mayor Mark Denman requested two oak trees be planted in their name in Howard Ward Park. At the tree dedication ceremony, Mayor Denman recognized both of their accomplishments on Council, stating: Bob’s contribution to Council over the past 8 years was invaluable in so many ways. His engineering background (Naval Academy Graduate) and frankness were just two of his many attributes that will be sorely missed. Sandy’s service as Mayor Pro Tem was outstanding during the last few years of her 8 year term. She provided our Council great moderating advice throughout her term. Her experience as the former Superintendent of CCISD certainly carried over to her skills on Council.
