Maintenance funds for security?
Editor, South Belt Leader:
I am 100 percent in favor of having
private patrolling of our subdivision. It is
much needed, but I don’t think it should
be paid for out of the maintenance
funds. This fund is for upkeep of our
streets and sidewalks. I know that our
streets are in good shape now but what
about 10 years from now? The present
committee does not have to worry about
that but someone will.
I think the Kirkwood subdivision has
the best approach to this problem, and I
wonder also if it is legal to use these
funds for this.

Block Home Program is reality
Editor, South Belt Leader:
The block home meeting on May 19
was attended by two constables, Captain
Gary Sparks and Deputy McDonald.
Also our speaker was Detective Bill Ogg
from the Harris County Sheriffs Dept.
Also in attendance was Tim Blevins,
President of the Sagemeadow Civic Club
Who is supporting this program.
My special thanks to them all. Also I
w;ant to thank Chief Hamilton of the
Constable’s office for putting up with my
many phone calls and questions, and for
their help in our program.
And thank you, South Belt Leader.
Also thanks to Mr. Davis, principal of
Moore Elementary. Attention Kirkmont
Community: We only have a few block
homes working in your area and the
Kirkmont Civic Club will be taking
applications for block home parents in
your area.
Sagemeadow now has 20 block homes
but there are still some blocks without a
safe home. Look and see if your block is
one of these and call Valerie Campbell at
997-1354. The Block Home Program is
no longer just an idea. It is working!
Whether your children are still young or
grown you can help your community.
So let’s work together and make all
our communities safe for our children
and ourselves.

Tod Lay sends thanks
Editor, South Belt Leader:
When I had my accident, and sub-
sequent, surgery, there were so many
people that were so kind and thoughtful
to me, I hardly know where to begin
thanking everyone.
1 would like to thank all the congrega-
tion from my church, St. Lukes and the
congregations at Sagemont Baptist,
Sagemont Presbyterian and Garden Vil-
las, for all of the prayers that were
offered and meant so much.
Thank you to all of those who sent all
of the many flowers, gifts and cards, and
made all of the phone calls day after day.
Thank you, also, to everyone who took
the time to visit me while I was in the
hospital and recuperating at home; I
needed the company. It makes you
realize just how many people care for
you.
I also would like to thank the South
Belt Leader for the nice article in the
paper.
I could go on and on, because there
are so many I need to thank, but I want
to send a special thanks to John Wills,
Youth Director for Sagemont Baptist
Church, and Richard Meyer, who both
really gave me the spiritual help I
needed.
And last, but not least, thank you so
much to my parents Toy and Frances
Lay, sister Dawn Lay, and my grand-
parents for being there every day for me
and giving me all their love and support.
Thank you again
Sincerely,
Tod W. Lay

Family touched by miracles
Editor, South Belt Leader:
There are times that we begin to feel
life just can not deal us any more blows if
we are going to survive. Then—as friends
and neighbors (and even folks we’ve
never met) surround us with their care
and concern, we know that the Lord,
through them, is not going to let us fall.
Last Friday at 1:45 a.m. a tornado
touched down between Bellville and
Sealy totally destroying the travel trailer
that was the home of our son and his
family. In some mira'culous way they
were saved from being sliced into rib-
bons by tin panels from a large barn that
was blowing all around them. The
mother with her 4 year old landed on one
panel of tin and the 17-month old baby
was found under another. The young
father landed on the axels of the up-
turned trailer.
As of today. Les is still in the hospital
and Michelle is still on total bedrest, but
the babies are doing well.
Another miracle is the way so many
people have come forward to help. To all
our friends at Sagemont Baptist Church
we express our deep appreciation and
gratitude. To all the others-that same
heart-felt thanks.
Thank you and may God bless you as
you have blessed our lives.

THE LANCON COMPANY
The Lancon Company,
owned by South Belt area
resident Maggie Lancon, is
located inside of Loop 610
because people move in
both directions, and Lan-
con feels she can best
serve her clients this way.
Lancon has been a real-
tor for nine years and is a
member of the Houston
Board and Multiple Listing
Service.
“My aim is not to have
“x” number of listings and
sales but to have listings
that do sell and to aid both
buyers and sellers ,in ob-
taining the maximum for
their dollars,” Lancon
said.
Lancon has two daugh-
ters: Liane is a 1983 grad-
uate of the High School for
the Performing and Visual
Arts, and Rhonda will be a
junior at the HSPVA in
music. The Lancons are
members of the First
United Methodist Church.

The ultimate answer to
pollen, dust and smoke*
Today’s air is full of irritants that can cause watering eyes, runny nose, coughing and
general discomfort. Allergy sufferers are even more severely affected. But now there is
an air cleaner that is almost too good to be true.

Electrostatic Air Cleaner is the most effective of all. The NEW-
TRON® removes over 90% of the pollen, dust, and cigarette smoke
from your home or business.
