Quarterly Neighborhood Representatives Meeting
OA President Bob Hauck called
the Quarterly Meeting of the
Greatwood Neighborhood Reps to
order at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, May 8.
There were 26 Neighborhood Reps
present, representing 22 out of 29
neighborhoods.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Judy Holy reported that the seven
members of the Color Landscape
Committee have been meeting
monthly to address all mailbox and
other islands in the neighborhoods.
They have taken pictures and
compiled information on all of
these areas and will come up with
a uniform planting plan to improve
them. Through the years, some
neighborhoods have planted around
these islands with either donated or
neighborhood funds. The committee
will not disturb these islands.
George Ranch Historical Park is a
living history museum that tracks
four generations of one family over
one hundred years of Texas history.
You can visit the 1830’s Jones Stock
Farm, the 1860’s Ryon Prairie Home,
the 1890’s Davis Mansion, and the
1930’s George Ranch Complex.
Enjoy historic home tours, cattleworking demonstrations, a working
blacksmith shop and more. You can
see cattle run through a dipping vat,
cowboys cooking by a chuck wagon,
and if you get there early, maybe your
children can let the chickens out at
the 1830’s Stock Farm and collect the
eggs.
Krystal Willeby told the group about
the seasonal events and things that
visitors could expect whenever they
visit the Park.
George Ranch is just minutes down
the road. It is located at 10215 FM

drunk or high on drugs. Despite the doubt on many faces, most
let the actor grab the keys and get behind the wheel. It’s the
power of peer pressure and too many youngsters go along with
the crowd unless someone is strong enough to take a stand.
In the “Dateline” episode, a girl whose uncle was killed in a
drunk driving accident was the strong one. The parents were
in another room watching a TV monitor where they could see
how their teens were handling the situation. For the most
part, they were shocked and dismayed.
We have mentioned in previous articles how children pick
up their parents driving habits. The above example follows
the same pattern. It is not enough to just say don’t text or use
the phone while driving, or don’t get into a vehicle where the
driver is impaired from alcoholic beverages or drugs. If you do
not want them to do these things, you must set the example,
and not do it yourself. Talk with your teens about how even
the smallest amount drugs or alcohol effects the ability to
drive.
As you are planning your adventures away from home, call
or go online to set up a house watch. The online address can
be found at www.fortbendcountygov.com, or call our office at
281-341-4536, M-F, 8am-5pm.
chool is out for summer vacation. Now, what do we do
with the children? Most people have already made plans
and rearranged schedules to keep the children entertained.
Our teenagers will not have the same interests as they did
in previous summers. For those who are mobile, they have
more temptations and peer pressure to deal with. One area of
concern will be their driving. Teens will promise that they will
obey their parents’ rules on drinking, texting, and the use of
cell phones while driving. What is of concern is that they may
get into a vehicle in which the driver has consumed alcoholic
beverages or drugs. Some of the examples on what your teen
may do were aired on a new TV series called “My Kid Would Not
Do That.” This educational special aired on Sunday evening at
6:00 PM on NBC Dateline. The teens promised their parents
that they would never text or talk on their cell phones when
behind the wheel. The vehicles were equipped with cameras
for several months. Even though they knew the cameras were
there, and they were being filmed, they exhibited behavior
they said they would not do. The program showed actual
footage of the teens being distracted while using the phone
and running into signs, mailboxes, curbs, and other objects.
The teens were also set up with actors who pretended to be

Neighborhood Concerns
SPEEDING
Now that summer is here, many of our children are playing
outdoors in their neighborhoods. Although they shouldn’t be
playing in the street, the reality is that when you turn a corner
there may be a couple of kids throwing a ball, riding their bikes
or just crossing the street without looking. This is what kids do.
We all have dinner parties or other social gatherings at our
homes. Obviously there will be cars parked in the street for
these occasions. Please make sure your guests are not blocking
the street or your neighbors’ driveways.
POOL PARKING
Please be aware of your children when going to and from your
cars when parked in front of our pools or on the streets going to
or from swim meets.
The speed limits in our neighborhood are 35 MPH on the main
streets and 25 MPH in the neighborhoods. 25 MPH is SLOW and
is posted for a reason. The reason is to keep us aware of the many
children in our neighborhoods. It’s a hard speed to maintain in
our rushed lives, but please make a real effort to SLOW DOWN.
Many of our residents have had to slam on their brakes in order
to avoid a child that suddenly appears from between parked cars.
If we maintain our speed limits and keep our cars out of the
streets, we will keep Greatwood a safe and attractive place for all
of our residents.
PARKING
Many of our residents are concerned about the increased amount
of parking in the streets on a daily basis. Not only is it an eyesore
for our streets to resemble a parking lot, but also a huge safety
issue. With high school and college-age drivers home for the
summer, with lawn crews with trailers and other service people
parked on both sides of the street, it’s an “accident waiting to
happen.” Kids often don’t think before running into the street
and when it’s between parked cars, it’s doubly dangerous.
SNAKES
There have been reports of snakes, some poisonous, in and
around homes and around backyard pools. We do live in a heavily
wooded community that has detention ponds and amenity lakes
and we do back up to the Brazos River. Snakes are a fact of life
and although most of us will never see one, they are around.
PLEASE park your cars in your driveway. This is an inconvenience,
when there are multiple drivers in the family, but a small one
when weighed against a possible accident. Talk to your yard
crew and other service people and ask them to drive slowly and
not to park directly across from someone who is parked on the
other side of the street.
Just be aware of your surroundings and make sure you check your
pools before taking a plunge. Make sure your kids are aware that
snakes might be around, especially if they’re the explorer types
that tend to roam the heavily wooded areas in the community.

Greatwood Geysers
Swim Team Ready for 2012!
Greatwood Gators
20th Anniversary
T
he Greatwood Geysers Swim Team is ready to begin their
10th year of exciting competition! Head Coach Derek
Zerber has welcomed back assistant coaches Justin Kempisty,
Charlie Cox and Kasey Surratt as well as new coaches Rachel
Johnson and Darcy Stavinoha. Together they have spent the last
month conditioning the team and preparing them for their first
season in Division 2.
The Geysers will start this month with a Kickoff/Anniversary
Party. They will be co-hosting the event with the Greatwood
Gators (celebrating their 20th anniversary) on Friday, June 1st.
This is a great opportunity for the families from both teams to
come together and celebrate their community pride.
This month the team will switch their practices to Pool #1.
The practice times, however, will remain the same (4 p.m. – 8
p.m.). Due to the pool being cleaned on Tuesdays, Coach Derek
will re-design the practices on that day to be land-based – you
won’t want to miss them!

•
Scholarships for graduating senior swimmers
The best possible coaching staff

With the meets being held at Pool #1 this year, the team will
face a new parking situation. Out of respect for the residents
that live around the pool, the team is asking everyone to either
park in the pool parking lot, along Greatwood Parkway, or in
the Dickinson parking lot. Therefore, the Geysers suggest that
its families consider supporting their team by purchasing a
parking spot in the pool lot for all Geysers home meets for $100.
If you didn’t take advantage during registration, it’s not too late.

Quarterly Neighborhood Representatives Meeting
(Continued from page 1)
No one seemed to know anything about the history of this
cemetery so Mr. Driggers said he would look into it and let us
know.
Turns out we have a bit of Texas history right at our doorstep.
CONSTABLE REPORT
Constable Randy Deluhy went over the incident report for
April.
He was also asked about the historical background of the
home that is now a bed and breakfast right outside the back
entrance to the Crossing at Rabbs Crossing and Macek Road.
His research turned up a personal connection to the home.
This is the information he sent.
Pamela Britz, a Brooks Mill Rep, asked if they had any
information about who threw nails in the streets and sprayed
their neighborhood cars with fire extinguishers. Constable
Deluhy said they have stepped up patrols in Brooks Mill and
have an idea of those who were responsible for the recent
activity. They did find the empty fire extinguishers.
Officer Deluhy said they were beginning to see an increase in
requests for House Watches and to call their office to schedule.
All in all, Greatwood remains a very safe neighborhood.
Jim LeMaire and Zac Pittinger, both Village Reps said that
their scout troops would dispose of your old Texas and U.S.
Flags in the proper manner. You can email them for drop off
information.
Jim LeMaire – [email protected]
Zac Pittinger – [email protected]
“The Bassett home was moved south of Richmond and is now
the Great Oaks Manor Bed and Breakfast. It was built in 1913
by my great, great grandfather Clem Bassett. It is a Colonial
Revival style home and occupied the entire block between
Jackson & Liberty in Richmond, now the location of the Court
House Annex. The county purchased the house around 1960
to use as an annex, then sold the home in 1975.
Roseane Bernstein, a Lakeside Village Rep, asked about the
poor paint condition of some of the fences around the amenity
lake between Lakeside Village and Charleston Estates. This
will be looked into.
A question was asked about what the Post Office was going
to do about the damaged parcel boxes that are in a lot of our
neighborhoods. Kate Brewer, a Landing Rep, recently went to
the Post Office to address this issue. She was told that although
you could request that the Post Office replace the lock and
key for your personal box for a $45 charge, they are not going
to replace the locks on the parcel boxes. When they have to
replace the entire bank of boxes, they will include new parcel
boxes. If the parcel boxes in your neighborhood are not usable,
the Post Office will deliver packages directly to your door.
Clem Bassett was born in 1842 to Clement Bassett and Julia
Lee Beal. They came to Richmond shortly after the Battle
of San Jacinto. Clem Bassett was a member of Terry’s Texas
Rangers in the confederate cavalry. He was a cattleman with
an extensive farming operation. He also was a merchant
and helped organize the Jaybird Association and was its first
president. Clem Bassett was elected Sheriff of Fort Bend
County in 1890 and became Tax Collector in 1902. His wife
was Libbie Mitchell Bassett.”

Good vision is a critical learning tool for children and can

Brazos Bend State Park, Fort Bend County
Volunteer Training
W
ant to make a serious commitment to a whole lot of
fun? Become a member of the Brazos Bend State
Park Volunteer Organization (BBSPVO). Staff is accepting
applications for the next round of training that will take place
September 8, 15 & 22, 2012. All three dates are mandatory.
Park Staff is seeking outgoing, self-motivated individuals
who are able to donate at least 48 hours per calendar year
and are able to assist park visitors year round. Volunteers
operate the park’s nature center and volunteer gift shop. They
conduct programs and hikes for the general public and school
groups, maintain various customer services and assist the
park maintenance staff with trail maintenance, etc. Volunteers
receive hands-on training in all areas. Application, interview,
liability waiver and criminal background check required.
Application deadline is June 30, 2012. Get your application in
soon. We can only accept 15 participants.
The BBSPVO has been serving park visitors for over
20 years and has been recognized by the Texas Parks &
Wildlife Department, the Texas State Senate and House of
Representatives as an exemplary organization that consistently
donates an average of 18,000 hours annually and in 2011 they
donated an all-time high of 20,489 hours. The Organization also
donates a substantial amount of funding that is used to directly
assist the park with operational, educational and customer
service needs. The majority of this funding is provided by
BBSPVO gift shop sales but also comes from private donations.
The BBSPVO is a 501, (C ), (3) non-profit organization.
Applications are also accepted for maintenance work only.
(One may start volunteering immediately after the criminal
background check clears and liability waiver is signed.)
Complete training information and application can be
found at www.brazosbend.org. You may also contact BBSPVO
Coordinator Sharon Hanzik at 979-553-5123.
One of the10 busiest parks in the state, Brazos Bend is a
5,000-acre island of natural diversity southwest of Houston
that is managed by Texas Parks & Wildlife Department to
conserve natural and cultural resources, provide recreational
and educational opportunities, and foster an understanding of
the diversity of Texas’ lands and heritage for all generations.

Planning for Monster Mash 2012
Already in Progress
Dickinson Elementary PTO’s 3rd annual Monster Mash is
scheduled for Saturday, October 27, 2012.*
May Teacher of the Month - Mrs. Hogg - 1st Grade
We would also like to recognize Barbara Ott, who has
volunteered countless hours! She works in the library,
helps the teachers, and many more unseen jobs! Thanks
for all you do Barb!
Monster Mash, Dickinson Elementary PTO’s fundraising
event, has family fun and entertainment for all ages
including a haunted house, silent auction, games, dance-athon and costume contest. All proceeds benefit Dickinson
Elementary!
To all the volunteers this year, we could not have done it
without you! You help make Dickinson a better place for
our children! Thank you!
It takes a village to host the Monster Mash… help us make
the 2012 Monster Mash a huge success. As a Dickinson
family, how can you help? Are you willing to donate your
time…or volunteer in a small capacity? Here are some
additional ideas:
Thank You All!
As a PTO we want to thank our families and community
for their support. This year we were able to make sure
every instructional classroom has a promethium board.
We also funded all the field trips. We provided classroom
and grade level funds to promote learning. And finally
resurfaced our track!
• Does your business or a friend’s business promote a
popular product or service? Could include spa services,
photography packages, hotel stays, restaurant gift cards,
round of golf, auto detailing - the list goes on!
We are getting excited for next year!
• Do you know of or own a business willing to make a
monetary donation for sponsor benefits?
If you are interested in serving our school next year, there
are still committee positions open! Programs, Breakfast
with Santa and our Spring fundraiser are all events that
need some extra volunteers. Please let us know if you are
interested! We need you!
• Do you have a job where you could provide a child a
fun learning experience? Jobs could include (but not
limited to) firefighter, police officer, athlete, tv producer,
veterinarian, teacher, librarian, etc.

A couple of years ago, I quoted Albert Einstein… “Learn from
yesterday, Live for today, Hope for tomorrow. The important thing is
not to stop questioning.”
Another school year comes to an end, and as I’ve said so many times,
this year is signi icant to me as my own son moves on.
I am privileged to have gotten to know many seniors this year as they
move on in different directions with their lives. I know that this is the
beginning of a future that holds great promise for each of you. Follow
your dreams, stay true to the path, and never stop questioning…
I am looking forward to the next four years, as you begin the next
chapter in your lives.
Congratulations Class of 2012!
And, thank you for letting us be a part of your neighborhood.
- David Smith
