Residents north of St. Andrews are "privileged" to have three men picking up some trash in a pick-up but they are selective! They do not take leaves, just garbage. These happenings have been reported to our Police Dept; Lt. Haddaway asked that whenever they are spotted to immediately call the sub-station (281-359-6761) and a Patrolman would be sent to the area. The license number, make and color of the vehicle would be helpful. Take time to tear, shred or cut-up all receipts that may have personal informa-tion and account numbers.

New Hours
The marina will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, but will open at 10 AM on Friday.
The marina was under 5 feet of water and mud from the October 17th flood and is slowly recovering. There were four inches of mud left on the parking lot. It will be a few more weeks until we are under full operation again. Please be careful when visiting the marina and try to park on dry, not muddy, land.
The cormorants are returning to the Cove and soon, the pelicans & roseate spoonbills. The herons and egrets are increasing in numbers for their annual winter stay. best viewed at dusk and early morning, they are finding plenty of fish to feed on.

There has been some discussion that the City of Houston is considering the extension of Woodland Hills Drive to Hamblen Road. It is the feeling of the board that the extension would not be in the best interests of Forest Cove. The increased traffic and speeds would endanger the resi-dents and hinder the traffic flow entering Hamblen Road from side streets. If you are opposed to this potential ex-tension, please write to Councilman Robb Todd and send a copy to the FCPOA Board of Directors.
The July 4th BBQ is a long-standing tradition that is important to our community In previous years, this was handled by the F.C. Volunteer Fire Department as a fund raiser, and a very good one at that. It can also be a very good fund-raiser for our Community Association, but in order to do that we must prepare it ourselves and not have it catered. We are looking for anyone interested in helping prepare "The BBQ for 1999". If you can help in anyway, plan, provide freezer space, cook, prepare, set-up, serve, clean-up or help in another capacity, please contact Steve Atchison at home, (281-358-7648) work (281-590-9400) or e-mail at jsa1954@netscape.net. We will try to have an organizational meeting early in "99", but need to hear from you ASAP.
