Copperfield Place Village 

(CPV) A WORD FROM THE BOARD 

We are fortunate here at Copperfield Place Village to have survived flooding 

in our neighborhood during the Harvey hurricane. As you know, there 

were so many people and neighbors in nearby communities who were 

not as fortunate as we were and were displaced from their homes! Yet, 

many of our neighboring churches, community centers, local businesses 

and most of all our own community who assisted and volunteered in 

every way possible to help our neighbors! We at Copperfield are thankful, 

blessed and honored to be in a community that cares. Thank you for all 

you did to be a part of this! 

Special thanks to Copperfield Church and Calvary Church who opened 

their Church for the many displaced people who needed shelter during 

and after the storm. The donations, volunteering and all prayers were 

amazing. 

The new laws have gone into effect effective September 1 st . NO TEXTING 

WHILE DRIVING! 

NEW PHONE FOR EMERGENCY AND NON EMERGENCY NUMBERS!!!!!!

The Yard of the Month for September was issued to Homeowner at 7119 

Bristol Ridge. This ends our summer Yard of the Month awards for this 

year. The next award drive through will be for our 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd place 

Christmas Holiday Decoration contest winners. We thank all of our home 

owners who continuously take pride in keeping their yards looking good! 

POOL AND PARKS COMMITTEE: 

THE POOL IS NOW OFFICIALLY CLOSED FOR THE SEASON! We want to 

again thank our pool volunteers who spent their time in keeping the pool 

area clean and overseeing the pool during the season. Without them we 

could not keep our pool organized. If you are interested in being a pool 

volunteer for 2018 season, please contact SCS and they forward you to the 

pool committee representative. 

TRESPASSING: Jumping over the fence when the pool is closed is 

trespassing and illegal. IF YOU ARE IN THE POOL WHEN CLOSED WE WILL 

CONSIDER YOU TO BE TRESPASSING AND THE SHERIFF’S DEPT. WILL BE 

CONTACTED! CAMERAS ARE ACTIVATED 24/7. 

POOL CARDS were all deactivated at the end of the pool season SCS will 

again be sending forms out to update records of the homeowner prior 

to opening 2018 pool season. Once the updated information form is 

returned to SCS and if assessments or accounts are up to date, the pool 

card will be activated for use. If you have lost your card or you are a “new” 

homeowner, a new card is issued for a $25 fee.

(NM) INSPIRING WORDS 

Ironically, this was the quote chosen for last October and because it is so 

appropriate for this time of rebuilding in Houston after Hurricane Harvey, 

we will run it again… 

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” - Helen Keller 

(NM) VOLUNTEERS 

THANK YOU TO ALL THE MANY VOLUNTEERS 

Hurricane Harvey hit Houston hard and a special thanks go out to the 

many organization and businesses that have stepped up to help those in 

need in our neighborhood and Houston by opening their doors as shelters

up to date and in the know.

on the Best Friends website, https://bestfriends.org/hurricaneharvey/

week on the message boards. The family that is missing their precious pet 

will be grateful.

OPPORTUNITY FOR VOLUNTEER HOURS? 

This Will Help Fulfill Your Service Hours 

We are in need of volunteers to keep our marquees updated with 

information. This would entail changing the letters on both sides of the

hours, this is an easy way to fill your requirements. If interested, please 

contact Dennis Zehler at Dennis.Southcreek@gmail.com. 

(SC) REPORTING ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY 

There are two ways to report suspicious activity. You can use the iWatch 

Harris County App. You can also call the Sheriff’s Department nonemergency 

number, 713-221-6000. 

iWATCH HARRIS COUNTY is a smart phone app designed to work 

with Android and iPhones. It allows citizens to report any persons 

or activities. Any tips can remain anonymous or citizens have the 

option to disclose their identity. Additional information is available at 

iwatchharriscounty.com. 

(SC) PARKS CLOSE AT SUNSET EACH DAY 

The Parks in our neighborhood close at dark. The Sheriff Department has 

requested that anyone who sees activity in one of our parks after dark, 

should report the activity to the Sheriff’s Department. Please call 713-221- 

6000 and once the recording starts, press “1.” Inform “dispatch” that you 

are reporting a suspicious person or suspicious activity in the Southcreek 

Village Park. You may request that the officer stop by your residence after 

the incident has been checked out, by letting the dispatch officer know 

this when you report the incident. 

(SC) STREETLIGHTS OUT? 

Please report outages of streetlights to Centerpoint Energy. Get the pole 

number, as well as the nearest Street address and call 713-207-2222. 

(SC) TRASH & RECYCLING PICKUP 

Southcreek trash pickup is on Tuesdays and Fridays. Southcreek has 

backdoor pickup. This means that our trashcans may be placed at the 

back of our driveway. We do not have to have our trashcans at the curb. 

Big items such as yard clippings and tree branches should be placed at 

the curb. 

Our deed restrictions state that all trash, including grass clippings, cannot 

be on the curb until 6 PM the night before pickup and your trashcans must 

be picked up from the curb by 6 

PM, the day of pickup. So… you 

cannot have trash on the curb 

until Monday and Thursday 

nights until 6 PM and everything 

must be removed from the 

curb by 6 PM on Tuesdays and 

Fridays. This includes any bags 

that contain lawn clippings. If 

you have a lawn service, have 

them place the bags behind 

your fence and not leave the 

clippings on the curb. 

Our recycling day is Tuesday. 

Please have your recycling bin at 

the curb by 7 AM on Tuesdays. 

Please pick up your recycling 

by 6 PM on Tuesdays to comply 

with our deed restrictions.

Meetings - 3 rd Monday at 6 PM • Forest Heights Pool Meeting Room 

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT KUDOS 

Many thanks to our wonderful neighbors who volunteered to host a 

“block gathering” for National Night Out (NNO), which was celebrated on 

Tuesday, October 3 rd . Also, a big thank you to the nine neighbors who gave 

up their time to participate and to sponsor a ‘know your neighbor event.’ 

At many of the gatherings, Sheriff’s Deputies stopped by and visited with 

the various groups for the purpose of strengthening community bonds 

and for discussing various crime prevention tips. HEB, Target and the 

Westcreek Homeowners Association made donations to help the sponsors 

host their events. This generosity is sincerely appreciated. 

Westcreek would like a captain for each block, so if you would like to

safest neighborhood possible. And as always, keep your vehicles locked 

and remember to remove all valuables. If you see something suspicious, 

please call the Sheriff Dept. non-emergency number 713-221-6000 #1. 

HALLOWEEN SAFETY: 

This month children will be out celebrating Halloween by trick-or-treating. 

When driving please be on the lookout for children who may be crossing 

the street. Please talk to your children about these safety issues - look 

both ways before crossing the street; go as a group with a trusted adult 

and never alone; walk don’t run from house to house; never enter homes 

of strangers; wear a reflective costume or add reflective strips; use a 

flashlight to help you see and to help others see you. 

COURTESY ISSUE: 

As children are walking and riding their bikes to and from school, please 

make sure your sprinkler system is turned off during these times. Many 

sprinklers are going off and making it a difficult for children to get to their 

destination without getting wet.

(WC) YARD OF THE MONTH 

Due to Hurricane Harvey, the Yard of the Month 

program for Westcreek has been completed early 

this year - there were no September selections 

chosen. The program will resume in 2018. 

Thanks to everyone that worked hard this year 

to get their gardens, yards and homes looking 

great. 

(WC) HURRICANE HARVEY 

Many homes in our community experienced 

excessive rain as we experienced the most 

devastating rain event in American history come 

our way due to Hurricane Harvey. A small tornado 

just missed hitting the far northwest corner of 

Westcreek, but still knocked down fences near 

Copeland Elementary and even caused cracked 

sidewalks where tree roots caused lifting and 

splitting to occur. There was minor tree damage 

experienced by many homeowners, but most 

of us, as well as most of Copperfield, were VERY 

fortunate to escape major damage experienced 

by others throughout other areas of Houston and 

beyond. Re-planting our gardens or adding back 

mulch that was washed away is a small price 

to pay compared to those whose homes were 

flooded and uninhabitable. Please remember, 

if you still have clean-up or recovery pruning 

needing to be completed, please be sure you 

pay close attention to your personal safety when 

climbing ladders or using tools such as limb 

saws or chainsaws. Always wear eye protection 

whenever using a power tool or cutting limbs/ 

vegetation. Finally, if you know someone or if 

you yourself provided help to those who were 

in need during the storm, thank you for your 

kindness, efforts and generosity. 

homeowners use. Additionally, as the weather begins 

to cool, mow your turf shorter to prevent moisture 

build-up, adjust your irrigation cycle to fewer days or 

shorter cycle times and avoid watering at night. Fungus 

loves moisture. 

Chinch Bugs can be very devastating to St. Augustine 

or Fescue lawns. Their damage can appear similar to 

brown patch at first but grows out beyond circles or 

rings. Chinch bugs are the larvae of Blissus leucopterus, 

a small winged beetle. To check for the presence of 

chinch bugs; 

Take a coffee can or similar container and remove the 

top and bottom of the can, creating a hollow cylinder. 

Then embed the can in an affected area and fill with 

water. If chinch bugs are present they will rise to the 

top of the water within the can. 

(WC) CHINCH BUGS OR BROWN PATCH? 

As the weather starts to cool, brown patch inevitably 

starts to show its ugly face in the form of yellow circles 

on our lawns. Many homeowners have a hard time 

telling whether they have brown patch or if there is 

some sort of insect feasting on their lawn areas. To 

clarify: 

Brownpatch is a fungus and usually appears in the 

same areas repeatedly, thriving when temperatures 

drop overnight below 70 degrees for several nights, 

even if previous outbreaks were thought to have been 

resolved. A yellow/grey circle up to 20” in diameter 

will appear and then slowly close in on the inner turf, 

changing the color of the grass as it moves inward. 

Scott’s Lawn Fungus Control is very effective in 

controlling an outbreak of Brownpatch. Products 

containing Chlorothanol work well - try Daconil 

Docket DF, it is a granular product and very effective. 

Ortho Daconil is a faster-acting liquid product many

Prevent damage such as this from occurring! The most effective pesticide 

to apply is a liquid spray containing permethrin, cypermethrin or 

deltamethrin. This must be applied 3 separate times within a 21 day period 

- the egg cycle the chinch bugs leave behind must be killed, otherwise 

they will return. A liquid product will permeate all areas better and more 

effectively than a granular product, ensuring the infestation is defeated. 

If a granular treatment is utilized as well as a liquid application, “Triazicide” 

works very well if applied according to labeled directions. 

(WC) WASTE COLLECTION REMINDER 

This is a reminder to PLEASE DO NOT place your lawn clippings, pruning/ 

branches/bagged leaves or other landscape waste at the curb earlier than 

6 PM the night before garbage collection occurs, Monday night for the 

Tuesday collection and Thursday night for the Friday collection. If your 

lawn care is performed by a contracted mower or service group, please 

know you MUST place the waste/clippings out of view once the service is 

performed if they are leaving the waste within sight upon completion. THE 

BAGS SHOULD NOT REMAIN AT THE CURB UNTIL COLLECTION DAY! Please 

help to keep our neighborhood looking beautiful at all times and prevent 

receiving a reminder from the HOA . Summer heat is almost behind us! 

(WC) WESTCREEK COMMUNITY GARDEN 

The summer garden was quite the success. We got a ton of okra and 

watermelon. We also got a ton of rain from Harvey. Our garden rain gauge 

recorded the following inches of rainfall beginning 8/25/17: 

Friday 5” 

Saturday 4” 

Saturday night 8” 

Sunday 5” 

Sunday night 8” 

Monday 3” 

Monday night 5” 

Tuesday 1” 

We are now growing okra, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, peanuts, zucchini. 

In the fall we will grow tomatoes, beans, squash, beets, broccoli, cabbage, 

carrots, lettuce, radishes, spinach, turnips. 

We are always looking for more folks to participate.

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT 

Welcome back to school - again! I realize we are starting 2017-2018 

a couple weeks later than we originally planned and I appreciate 

everyone’s patience during this difficult time. 

Certainly, Hurricane Harvey has proven to be a dynamic and 

unprecedented event for the CFISD community. So many of our 

neighbors have been displaced from their homes due to flooding 

and damage and we want to remember those folks in our thoughts 

and prayers and continue to provide support as they get back on 

their feet. 

You may have heard that Texas Commissioner of Education Mike 

Morath has waived the nine student days we have missed due to 

the flooding. I can assure you that our teachers and staff are going 

to provide each student with the same outstanding curriculum and 

instruction they would have received had we started on August 28 th .

The outpouring of support for so many of our friends and neighbors impacted by this tragic event has been inspiring to see. People from different 

backgrounds and zip codes have all come together to support this community. That makes me extremely proud, not only to be a CFISD resident but also 

an American. 

Without a municipal government that covers the entire district, CFISD stepped up to provide temporary shelter, support other shelters and school 

districts with food and supplies and help operate our own point of distribution at the Berry Center that provided assistance to more than 5,000 

community members. 

On a personal note, I want to thank you for your prayers, encouraging comments and emails during this difficult time. I have been a superintendent for 

27 years and this was the most challenging and dynamic event I have ever experienced in that role. 

For most of us, this event will be in our rear-view mirror rather quickly. But for a significant group of people in our community, this was a life-changing 

event. The theme we live by in CFISD is Opportunity for All. Let’s make sure all of our community, with our continued support, has the opportunity to 

rebuild their lives this year. 

Sincerely, Mark Henry, Ed.D.

CFISD WELCOMES AN EXPECTED 

116,000 STUDENTS ON FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 

Cheryl Fisher’s Fitbit says she slept four hours, but the principal at brandnew 

Wells Elementary School was pretty sure it was less. The first day 

of school still has that effect on Fisher. Despite a start date pushed back 

two weeks due to the effects of Hurricane Harvey, CFISD classes began 

September 11 th , with approximately 116,000 students filling the halls 

of 91 campuses. That included three new schools: Wells and Hoover 

Elementary schools and Bridgeland High School. For those teachers, staff 

members and administrators, reaching the first day of classes marked 

an accomplishment in itself. “Seeing those kids come in the first day 

of school with their smiles - that would be the pot of gold at the end of 

this whole thing,” said Fisher, who spent eight years as the principal at 

Keith Elementary School before she was named to her new post - and 

subsequently spent much of the spring and summer alone or with little 

staff in preparing. “There is a building, there is a complete staff of superexcited 

teachers and staff members and these happy children came in and 

they deserve the best.” 

Said Michael Smith, Bridgeland’s principal after more than nine years at 

the same job at Cy-Fair High School: “Whenever you have a new school, 

you have to be flexible. Not everything went perfect, but the staff and the 

students were great. A lot of energy and a lot of excitement.” 

The first day also meant bridging CFISD’s history with its future as the 

namesakes of both new elementary schools were on hand, welcoming 

students in the morning before walking the halls and returning to 

volunteer as Bus Buddies in the afternoon. “I went around to every 

classroom this morning and gave all the teachers a hug,” said Janet 

Hoover, the namesake for Hoover Elementary School who retired in 2010 

after 36 years in CFISD. “It’s the best atmosphere I’ve seen in a long, long 

time. It’s a very special place.” 

CFISD’s original start date was August 28 th , but was postponed due to 

Hurricane Harvey. The district and community rallied and did its part while 

employees, families and students waited to start the 2017-2018 school 

year. The Berry Center transformed into a massive point of distribution 

center with a workforce of CFISD volunteers, funneling donations to 

families in need. In addition, numerous school organizations and athletics 

teams volunteered in the relief effort. 

But the waiting finally ended. School buses and lines of cars rolled 

September 11 th . Students posed for photos. Smiling employees greeted 

everyone at the front doors. “I’m a little nervous but I’m very excited,” 

said Paige Hintz, a third-grade language arts teacher at Jowell Elementary 

School. “I’ve prepared all of this stuff and finally just getting to actually do 

it. I’m ready to meet my kids and get it started.” 

MOORE ES DONATION AND SUPPLY UPDATE 

Dear CFISD community: 

The outpouring of support you have shown through volunteerism and 

donations to the students and staff at Moore Elementary School has 

been absolutely incredible! You have worked so hard to ensure they 

have everything they need to have a successful school year. At this time, 

we are completely stocked with supplies and do not need anything else. 

Once school begins, we will be reaching out to others in need to share the 

extra supplies. Please know how much your generosity has meant to the 

entire Moore community and all those impacted by the flood. Sincerely, 

Principal Patricia Myers. 

CFISD MENTOR 

The CFISD Mentor Program is a cooperative effort of volunteers from 

businesses, faith-based and/or non-profit organizations, the community 

and the school district designed to encourage students (elementary 


through high school) to finish school and focus on future education and 

career goals. A mentor is a suitable role model committed to helping a 

student with his/her academic and social development. Mentors meet 

with students one-on-one for approximately 30 minutes each week. 

Currently, over 700 mentors are matched with students. Mentors must be 

18 years or older. 

To become a mentor, you must attend a training session, complete a 

global volunteer/mentor application and consent to a criminal history 

record check. 

Training Sessions - Registration is REQUIRED. Register for a training 

session at www.cyfairisd.formstack.com/forms/training. 

If you would like to schedule mentor training at your place of business, 

please contact the Community Engagement department, Leslie Francis, 

Director of Marketing and Business Relations at 281-894-3950. 

A virtual volunteer account will be created for you in vSoft once you have 

been approved as a mentor (this is the system that the front desk will use 

at the school in order to give you a nametag). Your login information will 

then be sent to you by vSoft via email. Access your account by visiting 

www.v-volunteer.com.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT 

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found 

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant 

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting 

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership 

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. 

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities 

that allow them to: 

• Try new things. 

• Provide service to others. 

• Build self-confidence. 

• Reinforce ethical standards. 


Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as 

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility 

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, 

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made. 

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting 

through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help 

our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area 

Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 

to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing 

units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly. 

Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools including: 

Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley, Horne, Jowell, 

Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan, Tipps, Walker and Wilson. 

Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church, 

Beck and Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church, 

Copperfield Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield 

Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and Copperfield Wards, Middlegate Village 

HOA, Peace Community Church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church 

and Thornton Middle School. 

Please contact Brendan Cronin, Copperhead District Executive (713-756- 

3383 or email brendan.cronin@scouting.org) or to go www.copperhead. 

shac.org to find join a Scouting unit near you.

BOY SCOUT TROOP 3 

Boys, are you yearning for exciting outdoor programs that stir your 

imagination and interest? How about camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking, 

backpacking and off-road biking? Do you want to learn wilderness 

survival, cooking, first aid, orienteering and shooting skills? Scouting is 

Fun… with a Purpose - where boys grow into men instilled with values 

of duty to God and Country, community service, citizenship, leadership 

and self-confidence. Troop 3 is a boy-lead troop where the boys plan an 

exciting year-round outdoor program. We camp monthly and include 

rock climbing, backpacking and canoeing. Troop 3 also participates in a 

weeklong winter camp, as well as a weeklong summer camp. 

We welcome all young men, 11-18 years old to visit Boy Scout Troop 

3 at 7:00 PM Monday nights at Richard & Meg Weekley Community 

Center located at 8440 Greenhouse Road, Cypress. No previous scouting

continue to provide personalized subdivision newsletters with information from neighborhood management, surrounding 

community groups, and local relief information to support the cleaning, rebuilding, and recovery of the communities in the 

wake of Hurricane Harvey. In the story below, a local resident shares what she believes makes our communities amazing… 

people willing to help each other by showing one another generosity, community, kindness and humanity. Krenek Printing 

agrees that YOU are what makes this city great and we are proud to be part of your local community each month. 

Hurricane Harvey and Houstonians 

On August 26th, as I ushered my students out of class with a cheerful “See you next week,” many remarked that school would 

be closed due to flooding so they would not see me next week. I chuckled while advising them to stop wishing for the return 

of summer vacation and not to forget their assignments due Monday. After 4 days of rain, flooding, and the constant reports of 

more destruction on the news, I was feeling foolish at my lack of respect for the weather, guilty that my house was dry when 

friends and family only miles down the road had lost everything, and generally disheartened at Houston’s situation. The more 

I watched the news broadcast the devastation, viewed social media with awful stories of anger and hate, and began to take 

inventory of what it would take to get my life back to normal, I felt bitter, annoyed and grumpy. Thankfully, an eventful trip to 

the local pharmacy, helped me see a different view of the situation. 

After 4 days of rain with a sick baby, I was out of baby fever reducer. With frazzled nerves, my fevered, fussy 1-year-old hanging 

off my hip, and my 7-year-old complaining about the outing in general, a young man approached us and asked if I needed 

help. It was clear he didn’t work for the store as he was not in uniform and didn’t have on a name tag, but he could see I was 

having trouble locating what I needed on the bare shelves while juggling the kids, diaper bag, pacifier, etc. As he helped me 

find the last bottle of off-brand infant pain reliever, I silently prayed my oldest daughter, who was quietly staring down the 

young man with furrowed brow, would not ask any loud, inappropriate questions about his long hair, dark nail polish, or 

pants that did not sit anywhere near his waist. As he helped me look for the medicine, we made small talk and he disclosed 

that his family had been rescued a few hours before and he was thankful to be safely staying at a relative’s home until he 

could get back to his house to assess the damage. This whole encounter took less than 3 minutes. I thanked him profusely 

and we parted ways. As we drove home, my daughter began to ask her questions, and to my surprise, they had nothing to do 

with the young man’s appearance. She wanted to know how he would get the water out of his house; how he would know 

it was safe to go home and how he would get there; how he would get the money to buy more things if his stuff was ruined; 

and so on. She was very concerned for this young man and his family. I told her about all the organizations that were already 

providing for people like the man with things like shelter, food, clothes, and toiletries. When I looked back, my daughter was 

crying. She said that she was so happy that everyone wanted to help each other and that she wanted to help too by going 

through her clothes and toys when we got home. In that moment, all the negative feelings I was harboring disappeared. I was 

reminded that doing things for others and being a decent neighbor is what makes Houston amazing. 

I am thankful that young man helped me today. His helpful spirit, despite his desperate situation, helped remind me about 

what is important – people. I know Houston has a long road to recovery ahead, but I also know that Houstonians will take on 

the challenge with generosity, kindness, compassion and love.

FREE MEMOIR WRITING WORKSHOP 

Cypress Historical Society at Cypress Top Historic Park running through 

October and November from 10:30 AM to 12 PM. Everyone has a story and 

everyone has memories. Some of them are good. Others are not so good. 


But, all of them are valuable. This workshop is about preserving your family 

history, one memory at a time. With the help of your teacher, coach and 

mentor you will learn to jar those faded memories loose, then compose, 

organize, preserve and share them electronically for future generations. 

Jackie Devine loves working with active writers and people who have 

never tried to write! This course will help you understand the memoir 

writing process: story structure, scenes, dialogue, character development, 

tone and voice. You’ll learn that you are creating a legacy. If desired, stories 

will be recorded and saved online where family and friends can enjoy them 

for years to come. Located behind Juergen’s Hall Community Center, 26026

FLOODING DAMAGES CYPRESS CREEK CULTURAL 

DISTRICT CREEKFEST CANCELED FOR 2017 

Along with so many neighbors on Cypress Creek, the Cypress Creek 

Cultural District sustained serious damage from Hurricane Harvey. As a 

result, CreekFest has been canceled for 2017 but plans are to return in 

full force next year. The Centrum and Cypress Creek Christian Church and 

Community Center, the Barbara Bush Library, the Pearl Fincher Museum 

of Fine Arts and the Greenway trails experienced costly damages. All are 

working hard to become operative as soon as possible and need the 

support of the Northwest Community to aid the effort to do so. 

A sincere thank you goes to the major sponsors of CreekFest who have 

now directed their sponsorships toward flood relief for the Cultural 

District’s non-profit organizations. Those sponsors include the Cypress 

Creek Cultural District, Resource One Credit Union, Fidelity Investments 

and Power Home Remodeling Group. 

Insurance covers only a portion of the costs to repair each of these 

organizations, so contributions from the community are needed and 

deeply appreciated. Contributions may be made by visiting https:// 

paypal.me/cypresscreekcultural. Please include a note indicating that 

your gift is for Harvey relief. All donations will be distributed between nonprofit 

organizations in the Cypress Creek Cultural District, unless directed 

by the donor to a specific entity. One hundred percent of your donations 

will go directly to the cultural district organizations for flood relief. 

Cypress Creek FACE is working to relocate concerts and educational 

services. The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts hopes to re-open later this 

fall. The reopening of the Barbara Bush Harris County Library is yet to be 

determined. 

The Cypress Creek Cultural District is a community-driven, civic and 

cultural complex dedicated to meeting the cultural, recreational and 

educational needs of all people in the Northwest Houston Cypress 

Creek Community. For updates and information, please visit www. 

CypressCreekCulturalDistrict.org. 

PEARL FINCHER MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 

BEGINS RECOVERY AFTER HURRICANE HARVEY 

The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts took on some damages as a result 

of Hurricane Harvey. Now the costly process of restoration has already 

begun and insurance covers only part of these crucial expenses. The 

museum urgently needs support from the community to help with this 

financial challenge. A special fund to help “Restore the Pearl” has been 

established so gifts can easily be made from anywhere. Donors can give by 

texting pearlart to 243725 and choosing a donation amount or by visiting 

http://bidpal.net/pearlart. The Pearl will be closed while repairs are 

made and the hope is to re-open as soon as possible this fall. Donations 

will enable the museum to make vital repairs so the Pearl can continue 

to serve the community with art and educational programming for all to 

enjoy. For help with these unanticipated costs, the museum must rely on 

the generosity of the community, which ten years ago turned the dream of 

the Pearl into a reality in northwest Houston.

FOSTER CHILDREN: 

PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL) 

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. 

That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities 

arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out 

how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month. 

Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help 

prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long 

course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council 

for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s 

BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. 

Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change lives 

with hands-on community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see

individuals so you can share personality traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes. 

Treat the animal like your own and train him/her, if possible. 

Although you may feel sadness when your foster animal is adopted, please 

know that your efforts helped to prepare the cat or dog for his/her forever 

home.

How to Carve 

A Pumpkin 

When it comes to pumpkin carving, the idea is to have fun. We’ve 

got tips on carving the best pumpkin, as well as how to pick a good 

pumpkin for carving! 

HOW TO PICK A GOOD PUMPKIN FOR CARVING 

Look for one that is a little misshapen. Inspect it for soft spots (especially 

the end opposite the stem). Reject a pumpkin that has soft spots, they 

will cause it to deteriorate quickly. Remember, your pumpkin doesn’t 

have to sit on its base, in fact, that’s often its weakest spot. 

Let the pumpkin guide the shape of the face: An elongated pumpkin 

should have an elongated face. A fat and happy pumpkin should have 

a fat and happy face. 

HOLLOW OR WHOLE? 

There are two reasons for hollowing: (1) If the inside is going to be 

exposed (through the mouth, etc.), it looks better if it is hollowed 

neatly. (2) If you plan to light the pumpkin from the inside, it must be 

hollow. You can hollow it out from a hole in the back instead of the top, 

so that the look of the face isn’t affected. If you’re illuminating with a 

candle, you need to hollow from the top to allow the heat and smoke 

to escape. 

THE TOOLS 

Use a water-based marker to outline the face that you want to carve. 

First, draw a line down the center to establish symmetry. Then sketch 

the nose, the approximate center of the face. Once you’re satisfied with 

the details, trace over the lines using a permanent marker. For carving, 

basic kitchen implements, such as a paring knife or a steak knife with 

a standard - not serrated - blade that’s not going to bend, work well. 

You can also use a standard jigsaw blade. Otherwise, improvise: Use a 

melon-ball cutter to make circles, for example. 

MAKE A FACE 

To achieve a three-dimensional appearance, carve the entire pumpkin. 

Exaggerate the features. (If you aren’t sure what teeth really look like or 

how the gum line works, smile and look in the mirror.) If the pumpkin is 

frowning, carve wrinkles under the mouth. To add character, carve a lot 

of “crow’s feet” lines around the eyes. Consider using the stem as the 

nose and inserts such as radishes for the eyes or cut eyeballs from the 

back of the pumpkin and hold them in place with toothpicks. 

CARVE WITH CARE 

Use two hands at all times: one to control the blade and the other to 

control the pressure with which you cut (and thus the depth). Take care 

not to jab the blade into the pumpkin; you don’t want to cut all the 

way through the rind - except to determine its depth. The thickness of 

the rind will vary, not only from pumpkin to pumpkin, but also within 

one pumpkin. To determine your pumpkin’s average depth, cut a core 

sample where you want an eye or a nostril to be. Keep that piece nearby 

as a reminder of how deep you can safely cut. 

ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS 

Pumpkins, which are actually a fruit, not a vegetable, are 90 percent 

water, so after carving they usually last only three days to a week. A 

jack-o’-lantern with a surface carving will last longer than one that 

is cut all the way through. Putting a candle or other light inside will 

shorten its life span, as the heat that results can “cook” the pumpkin 

and reduce its longevity to a matter of hours. For a bright, shiny finish, 

spray Armor All on the pumpkin and rub it in. Paint will not preserve a 

pumpkin. However, if you decide to paint your pumpkin for decoration, 

use a water-based latex paint and wait at least an hour after carving so 

that the cuts you have made in the pumpkin have a chance to dry.

8 oz Softened Cream Cheese 

8 oz Pepper Jack Cheese 

1/2 tsp Minced Garlic 

Pinch Salt 

Pinch Pepper 

1 Scallion 

Candied Eyeballs 

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls 

WITCH HAT CUPCAKES 

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES 

1 cup all-purpose flour 

1/2 tsp baking powder 

1/2 tsp salt 

1/2 cup cocoa 

1 cup sugar 

3/4 cup vegetable oil 

1 large egg 

3/4 cup milk 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING 

1 cup unsalted butter softened 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

1 3/4 cup powdered sugar 

1 tbsp heavy whipping cream 

food coloring green and orange 

HAT DECORATIONS 

Oreo Thins 1 per cupcake 

Hershey Kisses 1 per cupcake 

Candy Corn cut along color lines 

For the Chocolate Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin 

with cupcake liners, then set aside. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking 

powder, salt, and cocoa. Set aside. Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large 

bowl), beat together vegetable oil and egg on low for 30 seconds. Add milk 

and vanilla extract and mix until combined, about 1 minute. Keeping speed 

on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, about 1/2 cup 

at a time. Once all dry ingredients have been added, mix just until the dry 

ingredients are no longer visible, about another 2-3 minutes. Be careful not 

to overmix. Pour batter into prepared muffin tin, filling containers about 1/2 

way full. Bake chocolate cupcakes in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a 

tester toothpick comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, 

then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 

Preheat your over to 400° in line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Wash then Slice your jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and scoop 

out the inside. In a large mixing bowl, use a cheese grater to shred your 

block of pepper jack cheese. Chop a scallion in tiny pieces. Mix in your 

cream cheese, scallion pieces, garlic, pepper and salt to your shredded 

cheese. Fill your jalapeño peppers with your cheese mixture. Now 

unroll your crescent rolls into rectangles (leave two triangles together 

and pinch the middle together). Use a pizza cutter to cut each crescent 

rectangle lengthwise into four even pieces. Wrap one or two pieces 

around each pepper, leaving a small opening for the eyes. Bake for 10- 

12 minutes. Right when you take your mummies out of the oven, add 

two candy eyes in each top opening.

Witch Hat 

Cupcakes 

For the Vanilla Buttercream Frosting: 

Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large bowl), beat butter and vanilla 

extract on high until fluffy. Drop speed to medium and slowly add sugar to 

butter, mixing thoroughly in between. If mixture gets too dry, add the 1 tbsp 

heavy whipping cream. If using food coloring, separate about 1/3 to 1/2 cup 

frosting to a separate bowl. Add green food coloring to the larger portion of 

frosting and orange food coloring to the smaller portion and mix thoroughly. 

Putting it all together: 

Decorate chocolate cupcakes with the green frosting (to create the “hair” 

for the witch) using a decorating tip of your choice. Press an Oreo on to 

the top of the green frosting (to create the brim of the hat). Using another 

piping bag, add about 1/2 tablespoon of orange frosting on top of the 

Oreo. Press an unwrapped Hershey Kiss into the frosting, using even 

pressure so that a ring of orange frosting appears around the base of the 

Kiss (this creates the top of the hat). Place a piece of cut candy corn into 

the orange frosting (for the hat buckle). I used only yellow pieces for this.
