THE SCOUTS ARE COMING<br />

By Cheryl Conley, TWRC Wildlife Center<br />

For some, there’s nothing more exciting<br />

than the arrival of the migratory bird, the<br />

Purple Martin. They are the largest of the<br />

North American swallows. Flying from<br />

South America where they winter, they faithfully<br />

return to the same locations every year.<br />

The first to arrive are called scouts and they<br />

are usually the older males. They are not<br />

looking for nesting areas but simply returning to where they<br />

nested before. The younger males follow and then the females<br />

arrive. Both sexes help build the nest, which will be home to 4<br />

or 5 babies. As soon as the chicks leave the nest, the Martins<br />

start congregating in large flocks and roost together in preparation<br />

for their trip south.<br />

Have you ever heard anyone say, “Location, location, location?”<br />

This is especially true if you want to attract Purple Martins. They<br />

are colonial nesting birds, which means they occupy apartmenttype<br />

houses. Since Purple Martins feed while in flight, they prefer<br />

their housing be placed in the open, away from human housing<br />

and trees. They eat mosquitos, beetles, wasps, dragonflies and<br />

other day-flying insects.<br />

House Sparrows and Starlings can take over your Purple Martin<br />

house. They can prevent Martins from nesting, destroy their eggs<br />

and kill nestlings. Do some research on the internet and find<br />

out how you can become a successful Purple Martin landlord.<br />

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!<br />

MARCH GARDENING TIPS<br />

VEGETABLES<br />

• Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap<br />

beans and pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter<br />

beans, cantaloupe, okra (if the soil has warmed sufficiently<br />

- 70 degrees F. or higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash,<br />

peanuts and watermelon.<br />

LAWN<br />

• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to<br />

this part of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade<br />

or sun).<br />

• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine,<br />

use ONLY the variety Floratam for best pest resistance.<br />

See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.<br />

TREES AND SHRUBS<br />

• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible.<br />

In shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider<br />

planting a dependable groundcover such as English<br />

ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of the prostrate junipers.<br />

PLEASE, NO SOCCER PLAYING AT<br />

RECREATION AREA<br />

For several reasons, the soccer goals in the recreation area were<br />

removed last year. The area was designed for a playground, the<br />

swimming pool and clubhouse, a volleyball court and the tennis<br />

courts. Unfortunately soccer playing, with or without the nets,<br />

had caused a disturbance to some of our neighbors whose yards<br />

back up to the recreation area, especially in the evening hours.<br />

Moreover “enthusiastic play” caused damage to the fences resulting<br />

in expensive repairs. Each time a broken fence picket had to<br />

be removed, then a new one purchased, stained and installed. It<br />

was not a big job, but time consuming and costly. The grassy area<br />

also was becoming very worn to the point where soon it may have<br />

had to be re-sodded. We also had many complaints about soccer<br />

being played on the tennis court, causing damage to the tennis<br />

nets and preventing residents from peacefully using the courts for<br />

tennis. Finally, as has been a problem with our other recreation<br />

facilities, we found non-residents using our property for playing<br />

soccer. Our sheriff deputy patrols are assisting us when we can<br />

identify trespassers. We want our own residents to have access and<br />

enjoyment of our recreation facilities for their intended purposes.<br />

MANY PAIRS OF EYES<br />

A Sheriff’s deputy has only one pair of eyes. But together, <strong>Berkshire</strong><br />

residents have a couple of thousand eyes. So when you<br />

see any suspicious activity, please call the Sheriff’s Department<br />

non-emergency number at 713-221-6000 immediately and<br />

provide as many details as possible. For emergencies call 911.<br />

And please cooperate with law enforcement officers after the<br />

fact to help convict criminals. Remember, for a safe community<br />

crime prevention is a cooperative effort.<br />

LOCK CAR DOORS AND PUT AWAY VALUABLES<br />

Many car burglaries occur because valuables are visible in the<br />

cars. Bags, purses, phones, GPS’s and laptops are all invitations to<br />

criminals. Even if it takes you only a few minutes to stop at a store<br />

or drop off the kids, put valuables out of sight. Some victims make<br />

the crime easier by leaving car doors unlocked. Car burglars have<br />

been know to move through a neighborhood trying door handles<br />

for unlocked cars. Simple advice: always lock them.<br />

HOME SECURITY TIPS<br />

DOORS:<br />

• Use your locks - a lock is only useful if you use it.<br />

• Make sure your doorways are visible from the street and not<br />

obscured by shrubs, etc.<br />

WINDOWS:<br />

• Make sure your windows have good locking mechanisms.<br />

• Make sure windows are visible from the street and not obscured<br />

by shrubs, etc.<br />

LANDSCAPE:<br />

• Keep trees and shrubbery trimmed to prevent concealment<br />

for a potential burglar.<br />

LIGHTING:<br />

• Timers on lights give your house the lived-in look while you<br />

are away.<br />

ALARMS:<br />

• Remember, like a lock, an alarm is only valuable if you use it.<br />

ASK FOR DETAILS ABOUT HOW YOUR<br />

MONEY IS SPENT<br />

Do you realize that the budget for <strong>Berkshire</strong> is in excess of a<br />

half million dollars? That’s right, over $500,000. It is the cost<br />

to you and the other homeowners to operate and maintain the<br />

Some of the major expenses are security<br />

through a contract with Harris County and<br />

additional coverage by direct contracts<br />

with Sheriff’s deputies; landscaping maintenance<br />

including the irrigation system;<br />

operation of the recreation area (pool,<br />

tennis courts and playground); utilities<br />

including the lighting bill and the professional<br />

management company fees, plus all<br />

the related administrative expenses. You<br />

also bear the cost when some homeowners<br />

do not pay their annual assessment<br />

fees. In some cases legal action must be<br />

taken and legal expenses must be paid before<br />

delinquent debts are collected. Such<br />

action is taken because some homeowners<br />

would leave the rest of us bearing their<br />

share of the expenses.<br />

You have a stake in your community and<br />

you have a voice if you care enough to<br />

exercise it. We all have a common interest<br />

in seeing that our money is spent prudently<br />

with adequate internal controls and<br />

that <strong>Berkshire</strong> remains an attractive and<br />

comfortable place to live. When you see<br />

a problem, let it be known, but come with<br />

a positive suggestion for improvement.<br />

Remember we are all in this together and<br />

want the best for <strong>Berkshire</strong>.<br />

The Board of Directors meets on the third<br />

Monday of each month and the meeting<br />

is open to all homeowners. If you wish to<br />

speak at a meeting, contact the management<br />

company (281-870-0585) to be<br />

placed on the agenda. The annual meeting<br />

of homeowners will be announced in<br />

the near future. When was the last time<br />

you attended?<br />

BERKSHIRE WEBSITE<br />

Please be sure to visit the <strong>Berkshire</strong> website<br />

at www.berkshirecai.com. Check the<br />

website often for community updates,<br />

events and other important community<br />

information. Information on the recycling<br />

program is on the Website.<br />

PARKING ON THE STREET<br />

The Association receives numerous complaints<br />

a day regarding cars parked in<br />

the street. Parking in the street not only<br />

looks bad but also creates a safety hazard.<br />

Please refrain from parking in the street as<br />

it is against the Deed Restrictions. Vehicles<br />

should be parked in the garage or in the<br />

driveway at all times.<br />

GRAFFITI<br />

Please report any graffiti you may see in<br />

the community to PCMI.<br />

ADDRESS STONES<br />

Please be certain that shrubs are trimmed<br />

away from address stones. This is very<br />

important for 911 emergency vehicles.<br />

FLAT CURBS<br />

Please refrain from parking vehicles on the<br />

flat curbs. Vehicles parked on the curbs<br />

eventually cause damage and deterioration.<br />

Further note that storage of vehicles<br />

on streets or within road right-of-way is<br />

specifically prohibited.<br />

LOOSE DOGS<br />

To report loose dogs please contact Harris<br />

County Animal Control at 281-999-3191.<br />

NOTICE TO PET OWNERS<br />

We love dogs - we really do. That’s why the<br />

association is committed to enforcing the<br />

county leash law on association property.<br />

According to the U.S. Humane Society, an<br />

unleashed dog has an average life span of<br />

less than four years. Allowing your dog to<br />

run free threatens your dog’s health and<br />

welfare and the happiness it brings to you.<br />

We also love our community. That’s another<br />

reason the association is committed<br />

to enforcing the county leash law - so all<br />

residents may enjoy our community.<br />

We trust we can count on you for voluntary<br />

compliance with the leash law. We don’t<br />

like to call animal control, but we won’t<br />

have any choice if your dog is running free.<br />

CY-LAKES HIGH SCHOOL<br />

CY-LAKES ORCHESTRA STUDENTS<br />

ARE TOP PERFORMERS<br />

In February, 61 orchestra students from Cy-Lakes High School<br />

performed at the region Solo and Ensemble contest at Cypress<br />

Springs High School. Although many students received a 1 st<br />

division on their solo/ensemble performances and received<br />

medals, for the first time, five students qualified for performing<br />

at the State Solo Ensemble to be held at University of Texas in<br />

May. The qualifying students are Brandon Estrada, Denarius<br />

Terry, Jesse Serpas, Trey Dadzie and Oscar Kitmanyen. These<br />

students practiced for months and memorized lengthy pieces of<br />

music. Natalie Purdy, director of orchestras at Cy-Lakes, states<br />

that all the students get critiqued by a certified judge and receive<br />

feedback and a rating. This is a great accomplishment for these<br />

young people. Currently, the Cy-Lakes orchestras are preparing<br />

to perform at UIL in April and at Disney.<br />

CY-LAKES STEP TEAM STEPS UP TO HELP<br />

The Cy-Lakes Step Team, under the direction of Andrew White,<br />

does more than give excellent step performances. The team, officially<br />

known as Lambda Nu Theta, is part of YMPA (Young Men<br />

for Positive Action) and is making concerted efforts to reach out<br />

to the community and make a difference.<br />

Recently, the team went to Third Ward and cleared an overgrown<br />

lot to create space for a community garden. They also volunteered<br />

at the Houston Food Bank where they sorted through donations<br />

to remove expired or damaged products and group like products<br />

together. Lambda Nu Theta participated in the heart walk and<br />

donated $100 to the fundraiser. The team puts on a Stocking<br />

Stomper Showcase each year at Cy-Lakes. Discount tickets are<br />

offered at the annual step show when patrons donate canned<br />

goods or toys for Katy Christian Ministries. This is the fifth year<br />

the team has sponsored the Stocking Stomper Showcase and<br />

each one has been a great success. Each year the Step Team<br />

collects loads of can goods and toys for needy families during<br />

the holiday season.<br />

Mr. White says, “Many people don’t realize that YMPA is not<br />

just about stepping. YMPA stands for “Young Men for Positive<br />

Action”, so we are a service organization first and foremost. We<br />

only step as a bonus activity.” Last year, the team was awarded<br />

the Community Service award at the district step competition<br />

because they had the most service projects of any high school<br />

YMPA/YLPA team. Cy-Lakes is proud of these young men who<br />

step out to help the community!<br />

SPRING BREAK ROAD TRIPS!<br />

Perhaps taking a family trip via plane isn’t a part of the spring<br />

break budget this year. No fear! Spending a few days away from<br />

Houston is as easy as packing up the car, getting the kids and<br />

picking a destination. Check out these ideas:<br />

Family road trip number 1: Austin. Under 3 hours from<br />

Katy by car with plenty of great food, history and fun.<br />

Family road trip number 2: Corpus Christi. This is an<br />

excellent destination for beaches, swimming and more.<br />

Family road trip number 3: New Braunfels (outside of<br />

Austin). This place is jam-packed with fun stuff for kids.<br />

Family road trip number 4: San Antonio. Head west on<br />

I-10 for 3 hours to arrive at this great Texas destination.<br />

Family road trip number 5: DFW. This Texas destination<br />

is just a straight shot north from Houston on I-45.<br />

BE WISE - ORGANIZE!<br />

It is so easy to keep putting things in your secret pile in that<br />

room or area no one sees. But one day someone will notice! Be<br />

wise - organize! Here are some easy DIY tips:<br />

• Shoe Boxes as DIY Dividers: You can make a completely<br />

customizable set with just scissors and shoe boxes. Simply cut<br />

the boxes in half by length or width, as needed for your space,<br />

then tuck into a drawer.<br />

• Picture Frames as Dry-Erase Board: Stay on top of your<br />

errands with an eye-catching DIY memo board: Frame a pretty<br />

scrap of fabric or wallpaper, hang in a high traffic area and use<br />

a dry-erase market to jot down reminders on the glass.<br />

• Stepladders as a Bedside Table: This minimalist take on<br />

a night table holds only the essentials-a lamp, a smartphone,<br />

water-forcing you to edit which items spend the night there.<br />

• Magnets as a Medicine Cabinet Organizer: Mount a magnetic<br />

strip on the inside of the medicine cabinet door to store<br />

tweezers, bobby pins and other grooming tools in plain sight.<br />

• A Wine Rack as a Wall Organizer: Hang an unused wine<br />

rack on the wall of your garage or supply closet to stash rags,<br />

tools, extension cords and more odds and ends.<br />
