TRASH DAYS!!!<br />
Trash days are on Tuesdays and Fridays. The days were erroneously published from an incorrect<br />

trash pick up day. For example if the holiday falls on a Tuesday, trash will not be picked up until Friday.<br />
We are sorry for the confusion.<br />

(NM) BUILDING YOUR COMMUNITY: INSPIRING WORDS<br />
“In any community there’s a strong pull home. People want to<br />
return, see their community get better economically and socially.<br />
You can build those community-grown opportunities for the<br />
kids who’ve graduated from college to return home, to provide<br />
businesses and support things going on. It’ll only happen through<br />
education.” - Denise Juneau<br />
(NM) INTRODUCING THE BOARD AND VOLUNTEERS<br />
We thought it would be a great idea to introduce our residents to Northmead<br />
Village Community Volunteers and Board Members. This month, we would like<br />
to introduce Northmead HOA Board member, Tony Ashford.<br />
Tony has lived in the <strong>Copperfield</strong> area for fifteen plus years and likes staying<br />
active in his community to make it a safer place to live. He is presently on two<br />
Boards, Northmead Village Community Association and is the chairman of<br />
the Crime Watch Committee. He works with our contracted HCSO officers to<br />
promote security and crime awareness, monitors the Contract Law Enforcement<br />
Agencies’ performance and to maintain a neighborhood Crime Watch program.<br />
Tony invites you to the next Crime Watch meeting on <strong>December</strong> 20, <strong>2016</strong>, at<br />
6:30 PM at the <strong>Copperfield</strong> Community Center located at 15409 Willow River<br />
Drive (next to Labay Jr. High). All <strong>Copperfield</strong> residents are welcome to attend.<br />
(NM) VOLUNTEERS - HOLIDAY DECORATIONS CONTEST<br />
A Christmas Decoration Contest Committee is forming so if you are interested,<br />
please send in your contact information. We are also putting together an<br />
Easter Egg Hunt Event so sign up for that committee if you want to get<br />
involved. What better way to meet new people and make new friends than<br />
to work on the projects that make our community better? Please contact<br />
grahammanagement@sbcglobal.net if you can volunteer to help with planning<br />
and/or at the events.<br />

(NM) UPCOMING EVENTS<br />
Crime Watch Meeting - <strong>December</strong> 20 th (see below for details)<br />
Christmas Decoration Contest - Judging will be the week of <strong>December</strong> 19 th -23 rd<br />
(NM) NORTHMEAD HOLIDAY LIGHTS CONTEST<br />
Northmead Village will give 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd prizes to each of the three sections in<br />
Northmead. Judges will be looking at the houses the week before Christmas<br />
and the winners will be announced in the January Newsletter. So, let’s see<br />
some awesome creative holiday home decorating this season!<br />
Holiday Lights Trivia - Inventors, Thomas Edison and Edward Johnson (1880<br />
&1882) and Albert Sadacca (1917) - Thomas Edison, the inventor of the first<br />
successful practical light bulb, created the very first strand of electric lights.<br />
During the Christmas season of 1880, these strands were strung around the<br />
outside of his Menlo Park Laboratory. Railroad passengers traveling by the<br />
laboratory got their first look at an electrical light display. But it would take<br />
almost forty years for electric Christmas lights to become the tradition that we<br />
all know and love.<br />
(NM) CRIME WATCH - COPPERFIELD CRIME WATCH<br />
The next Crime Watch <strong>2016</strong> Meeting Date is <strong>December</strong> 20 th at 6:30 PM in the<br />
<strong>Copperfield</strong> Community Center.<br />
The Crime Watch Committee wants to remind you to Lock Your Car Doors!<br />
This one helpful rule seems so simple and yet is so often ignored. A thief<br />
looking for a car to steal is more likely to go for the vehicle whose owner was<br />
kind enough to complete his first step for him and has given him open access<br />
to everything inside.<br />
Don’t Leave Valuables in Sight - Smash-and-grab thieves typically aren’t<br />
criminal masterminds who craft clever schemes to swipe your stuff. Most are<br />
casual opportunists. They see something they like and break in and take it. So<br />
keep your valuables out of sight.<br />
Help make <strong>Copperfield</strong> a safer place!<br />
• Save the Sheriff Dept. phone number on your mobile phone! 713-221- 6000.<br />
• Be aggressive in calling in all suspicious behavior and/or suspicious vehicle activity.<br />
• Tell your friends and neighbors! The stronger we are as a community in<br />
fighting crime, the safer we can make <strong>Copperfield</strong>.<br />
Watch for School Zones! There are TWO School zones on West Road.<br />
• When driving in school zones, watch out for student pedestrians.<br />
• Slow down and watch for children congregating near bus stops.<br />
• Look for children who might dart into the street without looking for traffic.<br />
• Know and obey the laws concerning traffic and school buses in Texas.<br />
NO right on Red at Pebble Lake and West Road.<br />
This is a designated NO RIGHT ON RED intersection for protection of the<br />
oncoming traffic that cannot be seen by drivers waiting on Pebble Lake.<br />

(WC) HELPFUL HOLIDAY CRIME WATCH TIPS<br />
As the hectic, holiday season approaches and the crime rate increases, it pays to remember the following:<br />
• Be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times. Keep packages and purchases hidden<br />
in the trunk of the vehicle or out of easy viewing sight. Remember others could be watching<br />
as you exit stores or the mall - so do not load your vehicle until you are finished shopping and<br />
are ready to depart.<br />
• Label all outdoor Christmas displays with your name, address, phone number and email<br />
address. In the event decorations are stolen and recovered, you will get your items back.<br />
• Make sure Facebook and other networking sites are filtered so only those you want to read<br />
messages receive them. Cyber-savvy thieves are beginning to stalk social networking sites.<br />
Individuals who post photos of expensive gift items and post vacation plans become easy targets.<br />
• Use the Sheriff Department’s Vacation Watch if going out of town over the holidays. Log onto<br />
<strong>Copperfield</strong>.org, select Westcreek Village, then select Westcreek Crime Watch website and<br />
finally select Vacation Watch forms. After downloading form, mail or fax the form at least 5<br />
days before the watch begins.<br />
• Most importantly, always lock your vehicles, doors, windows and set your alarms.<br />
• If you see something suspicious, say something by calling the Sheriff Deputy’s non<br />
emergency number 713-221-6000 #6.<br />

CYCHRISTIAN VARSITY WARRIOR FOOTBALL SET RECORDS<br />
The <strong>2016</strong> football season proved to be a successful and record breaking<br />
season for the CyChristian Warriors. Ending the season with a 10-1 record<br />
and heading to playoffs was refreshing compared to previous seasons with<br />
injuries and tough losses. Head football coach Jacob Spenn had this to say,<br />
“This year’s team has been very focused and believes in each other. We are<br />
thankful for a winning season on and off the field.” For more information<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />
For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />
in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant<br />
in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />
helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />
skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />
The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />
that allow them to:<br />
• Try new things.<br />
• Provide service to others.<br />
• Build self-confidence.<br />
• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />
Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals<br />
while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility and high selfesteem.<br />
As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure<br />
can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />
Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />
through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help<br />
our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area<br />
Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />
to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing<br />
units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />
Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools including:<br />
Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley, Horne, Jowell,<br />
Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan, Tipps, Walker and Wilson.<br />
Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church, Beck and<br />
Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church, <strong>Copperfield</strong><br />
Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield Village HOA,<br />
LDS Bear Creek and <strong>Copperfield</strong> Wards, Middlegate Village HOA, Peace<br />

professional counselors. Give an Hour provides services that are separate<br />
from the military establishment, offering options to service members who<br />
might otherwise fail to seek or receive appropriate care.<br />
Give an Hour is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national network of mental<br />
health professionals providing free counseling services to returning<br />
troops and their families. Give an Hour offers services to veterans of the<br />
wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and their family members. Family members<br />
are loosely defined to include married or unmarried partners, parents,<br />
siblings, aunts/uncles—anyone connected to the veteran who is suffering<br />
a psychological effect related to the veteran’s service.<br />
Banyan Counseling Network has an office located near the North Cypress<br />
Medical Center and is trained to provide individual and family counseling.<br />
Family support groups are also currently forming. People interested in<br />
receiving services through Give an Hour are encouraged to call 281-855-<br />
1982 or log on to www.banyancounseling.com, (click Military Families<br />
link) or www.giveanhour.org to determine availability or to locate another<br />
