Safety School is out! Time for kids to play and run free which of course means we need to be extra careful as we drive along our street. Please see Page 3 for Steve Anton’s monthly safety gems. Spark Park Great news from Mark Twain Elementary - Spark Park reconstruction has begun with the entire project scheduled for completion before school resumes in late August! Please see page 4 for details. Neighborhood Appearance Wow! What a fast and amazing job Jack Stopnicki, Claudia Schnelle and their team have done with the enhancement project! Almost all esplanades targeted for improvement have been completed. The North Braeswood at Stella Link intersection is on hold pending details of scheduled bridge construction while North and South Braeswood at Buffalo Speedway will be delayed until the bridge replacement is completed. Approximately 55 end caps have been upgraded over the past few months. Will you help keep up our investment? Consider adopting a landscaped esplanade. All you need do is a monthly visit to weed, trim, and check on plant health. We will provide maintenance directions. A form for this can be found on Page 9. Letter Writing Campaign – Brays Bayou Bridges Pershing Middle School Principal Dr. Shetzer joined our letter writing campaign, won’t you? Now that we have assurance our Buffalo Speedway Bridge requests will be fulfilled, we need to push for a Stella Link pedestrian bridge. Tell the City how dangerous it is for children trying to reach school, how you had to stop traffic to allow a handicapped person to use the traffic lanes, how you had to swerve to avoid that bicycle. Please join in letting our collective voice be heard. Copies of the sample letters can be found on our website under Sentinel 2017 – www.braeswoodplace.org. Have a great start to the summer!

Last month, a neighbor was in her garage when the old door suddenly dropped to the ground and was impossible to open from the inside. She was trapped. She had her cell phone and called the BPHA of-fice. Our office manager called the deputy on duty. The deputy freed her in less than 4 minutes. This is the beauty and benefit of our Constable Patrol Program. Ready to join?

SECURITY UPDATE by Steve Anton

Hot topics for the summer

School is out and so are our children. First and foremost, slow down! They will be playing in front yards and darting into the streets and enjoying their freedom. It’s our job to be alert and quick on the brakes.

The great Campus Park area between Twain and Pershing is a magnet for fun, but it can also occasionally lead bored and idle kids into mis-chief. Helen’s Park is designed as a quiet park — no playing in the fountain or creek, and no bikes or skateboards allowed. Also, the youth sports fields will be closed at times so the turf can heal. If you see misbehavior, flag down the campus park deputy who is as-signed to the park area and is patrolling nearby.

Keep an eye on the new homes under construction near you — partic-ularly at night and on weekends. Watch for building materials that are leaving the job site. It might be a theft in progress. Don’t hesitate to call the Constable Dispatcher if you are a member or Houston police if you are not. Your new neighbor will be grateful.

When you see a deputy patrolling down your street, wave him down and say hello. They are delighted to meet residents and very much want to get to know you and hear your concerns. Learning more about you and your home helps them to keep us safe.

Time to invest in your family’s safety

In the next few days, you will receive your invoice for your annual share of the BPHA Constable Patrol Program. With your support, we maintain the largest contingent of contract deputies in Harris County. And it is no coincidence that we enjoy one of the lowest crime rates in Houston. 81 cents a day — less than the monthly cost of a monitored alarm system — buys you around-the-clock coverage by full-time, armed and licensed deputies with the power to stop, question, detain and arrest suspicious per-sons who have no legitimate business in our neighborhood. This kind of focused, professional law enforcement has made an enormous difference in our property values and our quality of life. Every member of the Constable Patrol receives:

24/7 response to your calls for help or reports of suspicious activity

A bold and visible membership sign for your yard

Connection of your alarm system to the constable’s emergency dis-patcher for quick response to trouble

Vacation Watch while you’re away, where a deputy actually gets out of the car to check your home

Special investigations and response to unusual, personal situations, such as stalking, harassment, domestic situations and drug issues

PROJECT BRAYS & POOR FARM DITCH by Billy Pilgrim

Current Contract: As of May 7, the current Project Brays contract is 77% complete and remains on track to complete by August 2017. Next Contract: The May 9 meeting agenda of the Harris County Commissioner’s Court included a recommendation for approval of construction documents and authorization to seek bids for a three-week period for the Brays Bayou Federal Flood Reduction Project (Project Brays) from 2,200 feet upstream of Buffalo Speedway to 2,900 feet upstream of South Rice in Precincts 1 and 3 (UPIN1709900D1E010). This contract is scheduled to begin construction in late July 2017 and complete by August 2018. Buffalo Speedway Replacement Bridge: The May 9 meeting agenda of the Harris County Commissioner’s Court included authorization in the amount of $424,912 for design, bidding and construction phase engineering services to replace the Buffalo Speedway Bridge over Brays Bayou in the Brays Watershed in Precinct 1 (UPIN180900D1B026). The Harris County Flood Control District has received a letter from the COH Public Works Department stating that the replacement bridge will be constructed with 11 foot travel lanes, a minimum of six foot sidewalks and dedicated left turn lanes. Still to be determined is additional sidewalk widths to accommodate bike lanes. This contract is scheduled to begin construction in the second quarter of 2018 and complete by August 2019.

TRAFFIC MITIGATION PLAN by Nicole Shah & Phil McCormick

Thank you to all the residents that submitted comments after the February public meeting regarding the Ayrshire traffic management concept plan. After reviewing all the comments, the City proposes to only place one speed cushion on the 4000 block of Aberdeen Way for temporary testing, the next step in the process. There was not enough support from Ayrshire residents to place any devices on Academy or cushions on the other 4000 blocks of Ayrshire. The City also noted in the last comment period an overwhelming number of residents on 3800 block of Gramercy requested speed cushions be added to their block. Therefore, in addition to the current Braes Height plan, one speed cushion will be added to the 3800 block of Gramercy for temporary testing. With respect to the 4000 blocks of Ayrshire, some of these blocks had a few residents in favor of devices with little opposition on that particular block, but the City found a few residents’ support was not enough to place a device for temporary testing. Note that the City will evaluate this again during the third public meeting and comment period. The next step is for the City’s recommendations to be given to the Director of Public Works and Engineering for approval. If the Director approves the recommended plan, temporary installation of the speed cushions would be expected to occur later this year and hopefully before the end of the summer and the start of a new school year. Approximately 90 days after installation of the devices, the City would perform another traffic study to determine if other streets have been impacted by the installation of the devices. This next traffic study will be followed by a third public meeting and comment period.

HUCKLEBERRY SPARK PARK BREAKS GROUND!

By Elaina McNulty, Huckleberry Park Chair It's happening! On May 15, the Huckleberry SPARK Park broke ground on the new neighborhood SPARK Park. The graduating Mark Twain Elementary 5th grade students did the honors by each taking a turn shoveling dirt into a wheel barrel as the construction trucks rolled up to begin demolition. It is an exciting time for our neighborhood! The park is going to be amazing and will be open to the neighborhood after school hours, weekends, and holidays. Fundraising is still going on to build a sustainability fund for the park to keep it in tip top shape for our children for years to come. If you were thinking of getting a paver, tree or a donor wall spot, now is the time. Please visit www.huckleberrypark.com to see all of our donor offerings. You have the option of placing an order online or you can send checks to 7500 Braes Blvd. addressed to Huckleberry Park.

Congratulations to our new PTA executive board for the 2017-2018 school year! The new officers are: President: Jean-nette de la Cerda; Vice President: Nicole Nordhougen; Secretary: Anne Keenan; Treasurer: Cybil Saenz. Congratulations to Longfellow for being named to the 2016 Texas Honor Roll by the Educational Results Partner-ship.

Longfellow is excited to announce that a team from the school was selected to participate in the 2017-2018 National Wildlife Federation’s Monarch Heroes program in Houston. Longfellow will receive funds and education to create a Monarch Butterfly Habitat at the school. Longfellow's magnet program ended the year on a high note with band and orchestra students performing out on the lawn while art students held an art show inside the school. The Longfellow Enrichment Choir sang at the HISD Choral Festival and received many compliments from the judg-es! Longfellow also had 13 students perform in the All City Orchestra Concert at Meyerland Middle School. The choir and dance students ended the year on a sweet note with a fun and whimsical performance of Willy Wonka. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe summer!

YARD OF THE MONTH by Jackie Addington

The yard of the month for June is located at 3646 Maroneal. When the drainage and sidewalk project was underway a few years ago, the homeowners, Jeff and Pilar McNear, chose to enclose their yard with a stone wall. As is apparent in the photo, this provided an attractive feature and also eliminated the difficult to maintain yard slope. The homeowners wanted a vibrant and cheerful yard and they achieved this through repetition in plants and color. Pink penta, white caladium, and white vinca surround the outside of the wall and front of the house and create a very appealing palate of texture and color against the bright green of the zoysia grass. Italian cypress, palm trees, sago palm and ligustrum shrubs, a pittosporum hedge, and knock out roses provide additional landscaping height, texture and color. The same color theme is carried through the courtyard and into the private back yard for the family to enjoy.

HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS

Each year, the American Red Cross publishes a preparedness guide of tropical cyclones to help us prepare for such an emergency. You can download a copy of that guide at:http : / /w w w.nws .noass .gov/os/hur r icane/res ources/TropicalCyclones11.pdf. This guide gives great information on the weather terms associated with tropical storms and what to expect. It also lists critical infomation about how to prepare for an including storm. Some guidelines are as follows:

• Determine safe evacuation routes inland• Learn locations of official shelters• Check emergency equipment such as flashlights, generators

and battery powered equipment such as cell phones.• Buy food that will not spoil and store drinking water.• Buy plywood to protect your home if you do not have it.• Trim trees and shrubbery so branches do not fly into your

home.• Clear clogged rain gutters and downspouts.• Decide where to move your boat if applicable.• Review your insurance policy.• Find pet friendly hotels on your evacuation route because

most public shelters do not allow pets other than service animals.

If you are staying home to “hunker” out the storm:

• Turn refrigerator to maximum cold and keep it closed.• Turn off utilities if told to do so by authorities.• Turn off propane gas tanks.• Unplug small appliances.• Fill bathtub and large containers with water in case clean tap

water is unavailable. Use water in bathtubs for cleaning and flushing only. DO NOT DRINK IT!

• Stay away from windows and doors, even if they are covered. Take refuge in small interior room, closet or hallway.

• Close all interior doors. Secure and brace exterior doors.• If you are in a two-story house, got to an interior first floor

room.• If you are in a multi-story building and away from water, go

to the first or second floor and stay in the hallways or other interior rooms away from windows.

• Lie on the floor under a table or other sturdy object.

Imagine two families taking dream trips to Greece. The Patrick family did the planning themselves. They spent considerable effort researching and booking options, and by the time the vacation rolled around, the family was exhausted.

The Torrance family, on the other hand, simply met with their travel advisor. She discussed options and made suggestions. The family decided what they wanted, and the advisor handled it from there. Let’s see how the two trips turned out.

The Patricks endured a cramped, noisy flight in coach. The Torrances enjoyed first-class seating—an upgrade their travel advisor secured through a contact at the airline.

The Patricks couldn’t check in to their hotel for three hours upon arrival. They were also surprised to discover the rooms were within earshot of anti-government protests. The Torrances eased right into their accommodations, finding a basket of fruit with a hand-written welcome note from the manager.

The Patricks spent much of their time arguing about what to do. The Torrances enjoyed one adventure after another.

Both families faced a return flight cancellation. The Patricks stood at the back of a long rebooking line. The Torrances called their advisor, who made new arrangements quickly.

Which vacation sounds better?

For a weekend getaway, planning it yourself might be a good option. But for a more involved, once-in-a-lifetime vacation, nothing can replace the professional experience, insider knowledge and personal contacts of a quality travel advisor. Your retirement could be looked at as the most important vacation of your life. Don’t try to manage its complexity by yourself. A professional advisor will help you get there, and free you to enjoy both journey and destination.
