June 2014 Volume 7, Issue 6

Security: The Constables reported a very low incidence of foul-play; however, we experienced 3 cars being vandalized with valuable laptops and even a firearm being stolen. In addition, three other cars were vandalized: two were unlocked and another car had a window broken. None had anything stolen. The Constables encourage not only parking cars in garages and in driveways but also the car should be parked in the light. Motion lights are very effective. Be sure your electronic car lock has actually locked your car. Summer is here. Be watchful of our extra children biking, walking, and chasing balls on our streets.

Architectural Review and Deed Restrictions: Adam Yauk repor t ed applications for driveway and fence repair, exterior painting, and the building of patios, pergolas, play structures, and pools. Your Board analyzes these events to be sure changes to your property conform to our neighborhood standards. Thank you for your cooperation. Deed restriction letters focused on lawn maintenance, mildew/algae removal, and exterior repairs, again, with the emphasis on maintaining neighborhood standards. Tree limbs that hang over the streets need to be trimmed not only to clear visibility but also to be sure the limbs are not hindering or damaging passing vehicles.

Swimming Pool: When you go to the pool, either to swim or to pick up your pool registration bracelets, notice the new decking at the entrance and the refurbished pool furniture – your dues money at work. Thanks to Dianne Moynihan for supervising our pool and handling the wristband distribution.

Chaparral Management and your Board presented a survey to the gated neighborhood, Terravista Estates, on the use of the gate. A majority of over half of these residents voted to have their gate closed at all times. Also, drive back to Villa Nova and you will see that all of the homes are finished with only a few left for sale. Beautiful!

Landscaping: Our long-time landscaper, D.W. Miller, is progressing with the installation of the shrubbery along T.C. Jester between Springton and Glenmere. As you can see, the foundation has been created by the county for the installation of the streetlight at the corner of T.C. Jester and Glenmere. Even though we protested this installation, we will do our best to be sure the county maintains traffic speeds along this major road.

Happy Father’s Day and…Go Tidalwaves!

TNW MUD PARKPET-WALKING REMINDERS

The Terranova West MUD Park was developed to be used by our local residents and the park is used for many sporting and leisure activities. However, the park is not a “dog run.” For clarification purposes, the Harris County Texas Animal Regulation Section 4 A states:

"All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, or to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”

Therefore, residents are welcome to walk your pet in the Terranova West MUD Park. However, all dogs must be on a leash at all times. There are two "Doggie Pot" stations in the park. For the health and safety of our residents, please clean up after your pet. Signs are posted in the park reminding residents dogs must be on a leash and to clean up after your pet.

Your neighbors appreciate your cooperation. Help us keep the park a great place for all our residents to enjoy!

Regards,Tom Lovell, Vice President,Terranova West Municipal Utility District

Whispering Pines

The Houston Family Arts Center (HFAC) announces its 10th mainstage season, which explores life, love and laughter through timeless musicals, zany comedies, a classic murder mystery and a Shakespearean comedy. This exciting line-up begins with the zany, musical comedy Nunsense. After the laugher prepare for mystery with Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, followed by the traditional holiday production of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The New Year opens with the beautiful and touching A Secret Garden. HFAC ends the season with a trip around the world and the first stop is France for a riveting production of The Three Musketeers. Argentina is the next destination with the award winning, Evita. Then on to merry, old England for Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This magical season ends with the patriotic musical, 1776.

Acting Artistic Director, Lisa Garza says, “This is a season that will inspire you to explore the past- in literature, in history, and in yourself. The HFAC 2014-15 Season allows you to experience how others have dealt with grief, danger, power, love, and life. Don›t miss it!”

The season opens with Dan Goggin’s Nunsense, September 5 – 28. With a let’s-put-on-show-attitude, the zany Little Sisters of Hoboken are on a comedy crusade to fund raise their way out of an unfortunate cooking accident. This light-hearted and enduring musical, comedy will make a disciple out of any doubter.

Next is Agatha Christie’s thriller, And Then There Were None. After being stranded on a storm-shrouded rock, an unlikely group of houseguests are picked off one at a time by an unseen killer. Agatha Christie’s spare-no-suspense plotting keeps mystery buffs on the edge of their seats from October 17 – November 9!

For the holidays from November 28 – December 21, HFAC proudly presents Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol. Dickens’ craftily cantankerous Ebenezer Scrooge has no time for charity until three ghostly visitors appear on Christmas Eve. A plum pudding of a show, A Christmas Carol gives you a reason to celebrate the season all year long!

The New Year at HFAC begins February 6 – March 1, with the uplifting children’s story, The Secret Garden. An unlikely hero, spoiled orphan, Mary Lennox blossoms when she learns to cultivate not only an

abandoned garden, but also the lives of those around her. This uplifting children’s classic from 1911 is a musical oasis of redemption and an odyssey of renewal.

From children’s story to swashbuckling, HFAC presents The Three Musketeers. Promising swordsman d’Artagnan, saddled with his plucky tomboy sister, travels to Paris in 1625 to seek his fortunes with the famous trio of heroes. This swashbuckling romp, liberally peppered with nefarious villains, alluring ladies, and narrow escapes, is truly the one-for-all! The action will take place March 20 – April 12.

Evita storms the stage, May 1 – May 24 in HFAC’s next production. For Eva Peron, every crowd has a silver lining. The parabolic career of Argentina’s first lady inspired Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s pop-opera phenomenon. Was she a sainted hero of the working-class or a working-class seductress? This passionate work retains the power to entice and inflame.

Suggested for mature audiencesShakespeare comes to life, June 12 – July

5 with A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The canon’s most enchanted comedy pursues love with calculated abandon! This story of mortal and immortal paramours set in a mythical forest is one that will cast a spell on lovers of all ages.

Closing this exciting season, July 24 – August 16, is the American musical, 1776. With revolutionary immediacy, our lofty founding fathers are found to be genuine people who debate, bargain, and fray one another’s nerves as they struggle on the tortuous road to independence. This musical witness to the creation of one of the most eloquent documents in history will stir the soul of every American.
