Family 

Focus 

Happy New Year 

New Year’s Resolutions: Bryan - Lose 15 pounds and become 

more active. More walks for the dogs, maybe getting up 

earlier to get some exercise in before work. Trying to be 

less exhausted after the work day! Closer relationships with 

relatives. Boys - Help Maxwell begin to read and help Calvin 

to adjust to life at a new school. They both have goals to 

become better skateboarders! Anette: Determined to get in 

shape this year and is contemplating a vegan-inspired diet. 

Ringing in the New Year: “We don’t really do anything at all! Most times, we won’t even make it up to see the ball drop! We usually 

try to stay out of the chaos and chill out at home! Would love to see some more snow!” 

New Year’s Day Feast: Although this family doesn’t have a traditional meal on New Year’s Day, they have enjoyed a hearty meal of 

pork and sauerkraut for a few years but haven’t continued that trend since being in Texas. 

New Year, All The Feels: “I think we all appreciate the calendar giving us an opportunity to start over from something if we wish. Of 

course we can make resolutions at any time, but when you do it in January, you know that there are tons of other people that are 

doing the same thing so you don’t feel so alone. You can choose to fix something, start something new or just strengthen something 

about yourself and you have an opportunity for a fresh start simply because of the calendar.” 

2017 Reflections: “Probably the importance of family. Both our actual family and our church/neighborhood family. We›ve got family 

in Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, Florida and here. The opportunities we get to visit with those families are the best. Whether it is a trip to 

Florida or visits from the Ohio and Indiana peoples, those are the times that stand out the most in our minds. We moved to a new 

house in 2017 which was a big change for us and the process of selling our house, finding a new one and moving is certainly a 

huge event for us from 2017 that we will not forget. The help we received from family and friends during that time was amazing to 

us and the ability to provide something better for our kids and our future was a blessing.” 

2018 Predictions: “Binge watching Netflix shows will actually become a diagnosed disease recognized by the American Medical 

Association. Someone will invent a pair of pants made entirely out of bacon and the Houston Zoo will be closed for a week due to 

an unfortunate event involving said pants and a curious badger.” 

2018 Plans: With Anette’s entrepreneurial spirit, she is always finding new business opportunities. Although they don’t have anything 

specific nailed down, there will surely be plenty of new adventures ahead for this dynamic family. Of course, they might take a trip 

or two over to Florida to visit relatives. And how cool is this – the kids would love to start training to be American Ninja Warriors! 

Family Roster 

Mom: Anette - Licensed Veterinary Technician, pet 

sitter and self-taught dog groomer. Loves to watch her 

boys play sports and develop into little men, clean the 

house and pretty much anything to do with animals. 

Dad: Bryan – Works in the County Permits Department. 

Enjoys building things, woodworking, aspires to be a 

good provider for the family and raise his children to 

be respectful, hard-working young men. 

Calvin: 7 YO 2 nd grader. Loves to skateboard, play 

basketball and soccer. Great at drawing, very 

resourceful and creative . 

Maxwell: 5 YO preschooler. Very social, loves to 

skateboard and swim, play with his friends. Has a great 

imagination and loves pretending to destroy things... 

sometimes actually destroying them by accident! 

Favorite Family Pastimes 

Going to the pool, walking to the park and 

playground area. Playing outside and working 

around the house also keeps this family pleasantly 

occupied. Exploring nearby restaurants is another 

favorite activity this family enjoys, who are happy 

to have a wide array of dining, shopping and 

entertainment options close by. 

We Would Love to 

Feature Your Family! 

Each month, one family will be chosen 

from one of our communities.

Copper Lakes Bagged Clippings 

And Yard Waste 

It has come to the attention of the HOA that many residents/homeowners 

place bagged yard clippings on the curb prior to the appropriate time 

when such items can be placed there for trash pick. As pointed out in 

Section 6.6 of the Deed Restrictions: 

“...container may he placed in a designated area for garbage or trash 

pickup no earlier than six o’clock p.m. on the day preceding trash pickup 

of such garbage...” 

If you cut your own grass and bag the clippings please leave them at the 

curb in accordance with the day and time of the deed restrictions. 

If you have a service cut your lawn and they bag your clippings, please 

consider asking them to mulch the clippings instead of bagging. If they 

do bag, please do not leave the bag at the curb unless it is in compliance 

with Section 6.6 of the Deed Restrictions. 

Most experts agree that it is better to leave the clippings on your lawn 

as they return nutrients and it is much easier than bagging. By mulching 

your grass clippings you are also saving time for you and the trash pick 

contractors as well as preserving landfill space. 

The Full Text of Section 6.6 is below: 

SECTION 6.6. RESTRICTIONS ON GARBAGE AND TRASH - No refuse, 

garbage, trash, lumber, grass, shrub or tree clippings, plant waste, 

compost, metal, hulk materials, scrap, refuse or debris of any kind shall 

be kept, stored or allowed to accumulate on any Lot except within an 

enclosed container of a type, size and style approved by the Board and 

appropriately screened from view, except that any such container may he 

placed in a designated area for garbage or trash pickup no earlier than six 

o’clock p.m. on the day preceding trash pickup of such garbage and trash 

and shall he returned to an enclosed structure or an area appropriately 

screened from view no later than midnight of the day of pickup of such 

garbage and trash. 

Copper Lakes Tennis Courts 

Many residents are already enjoying the refurbished tennis courts. This 

summer, we replaced the chain link fence and resurfaced the courts. 

New nets were purchased and the light posts were painted. We also plan 

to install new benches. If you have not yet seen or enjoyed them, check 

them out. 

Remember, the courts are for Copper Lakes residents and guests. They 

must be relinquished for scheduled league matches of Copper Lakes 

teams. 

To preserve them for everyone, it is important that the courts be used for 

tennis only. They are not for soccer, skateboards, skates, etc. Access is 

with the same card you use for the pools. 

Newsletter Deadlines 

All articles should be in by the 10 th of every month for next month’s 

issue. Any dated events scheduled during the first 10 days of the month 

should be in the preceding month’s issue. Anything not received by the 

deadline cannot be guaranteed to be in the next issue.

Cfisd Mentor Program 

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 

8 

be 18 years or older. To become a mentor, you must attend a training 

session (REGISTER), complete a global volunteer/mentor application 

and consent to a criminal history record check. 

Training Sessions - Registration is REQUIRED. 

• Register for a training session. 

• 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 volunteer portal account will be created for you in Raptor 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 Raptor via email.

Touchdown Club Coach Of The Year 

Cy-Fair High School head football coach Ed Pustejovsky earned the top 

coaching award by the Touchdown Club of Houston, as he received the 

John Kelley Coach of the Year Award at the 38 th annual awards dinner, 

held December 13 th at the JW Marriott. Pustejovsky’s win is the first for 

CFISD since former Bobcats head coach Ronny Peacock was named 

Coach of the Year in 1999. 

“Coach Pustejovsky is very deserving of the Houston Touchdown Club’s 

Coach of the Year award,” said Ray Zepeda, director of athletics. “He and 

his staff have been a model of excellence and consistency over the course 

of many seasons.” 

Langham Creek head coach Todd Thompson was a finalist for the 

coaching award after he lead the Lobos to an 11-2 season and berth 

in the Class 6A Division II Region III final. They met Cy-Fair in a historic 

all-CFISD regional championship game. CFISD also had finalists for the

Peebles Offensive Player of the Year Award.

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 

10 

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.

The United States Constitution 

And Our Christian 

American Heritage Class 

West Houston Christian Center and Pastors Jack & Mary Jean Pidgeon, 

along with Ron & Diane Geyer, invite you to attend our class on the 

United States Constitution and our American Heritage. This free class 

will feature videos by Wallbuilders Founder David Barton as well as Rick 

Green, former Texas State Representative and Wallbuilders Associate 

Minister. This series will be an in depth study into the formation of our 

Government. We will learn about the Founders and the Framers who 

were inspired by God to build that which was to become the Greatest 

Nation on the face of the Earth. 

We will focus on the Constitution, as well as many other important 

documents and writings, as we discover not only WHAT was created, 

but the HOW and WHY our Nation was built. In the words of our 

Founding Father John Jay, the very first Chief Justice of the Supreme 

Court… “Every member of the State ought diligently to READ and 

to STUDY the Constitution of the Country and to TEACH the rising 

generation to be free. By KNOWING their rights, they will sooner 

PERCEIVE when they are violated and be the better prepared to 

DEFEND and ASSERT them.”

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton 

Schola Cantorum 

Do you want your children to become lifelong servants of the Church? 

Singing in a children’s choir is a great way to help that. The St. Elizabeth 

Ann Seton Schola Cantorum is currently accepting children Grades 4-12 for 

its after-school choir program. The choir is responsible for enriching the 

Mass on 10:30 on Sundays and rehearses every Wednesday from 3:45-5 

PM. Unique in the area, the choir focuses on singing music from the rich 

Catholic tradition, including chant and polyphony, as well as the finest 

modern church music. Time is devoted to building the children’s skills of 

music reading, vocal technique, thinking about the words and the structure 

and meaning of the Mass. Service hours are available for older students. For 

more information, please contact Dr. Douglas O’Neill at doneill@seascs.org.

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

Start The New Year With A New 

Best Friend And Family Member! 

Loving Arms Pet Placement has an assortment of wonderful dogs and 

cats hoping for their forever homes. We have all different types of small 

to large dogs, mixed breeds and many wonderful cats to choose from. 

We are a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats. If you are not ready to 

commit to adopting a dog or cat permanently, the animals also need 

foster families. Besides providing food, water and a safe place to sleep, 

foster families socialize the animals so they are people friendly. Include 

the animal in your daily home life inside your home. Get to know them as 

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.

Easy Ways to Eat 

More Fruits & Veggies 

The new food plate unveiled by the Department of Agriculture sends a 

clear message: eat more fruits and vegetables. Here are easy ways to get 

more of these important foods into your diet: 

Start early: Get in the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables 

a day by eating them early with your morning meal. Add a banana to your 

cereal, berries to your yogurt, veggies to your omelet. 

Make them visible: Set out a fruit bowl in the kitchen or have carrot 

sticks available for snacking. Take some time to prepare the fruits or 

vegetables, so they are ready to eat. 

Frozen is good: Frozen vegetables, such as peas and carrots, are a great 

way to make sure you always have vegetables in the house. 

At mealtime, think of the veggies first, not the protein: Half of your plate 

needs to be filled with fruits and vegetables. Base your meals on what 

vegetables you’ll have and then think of the grains and protein to go with it. 

Have fruit with your sweets: Fruits are nature’s natural candy. Puree 

berries and adding them as a sauce to desserts, such as ice cream.

National Compliment Day 

What a wonderful way to brighten someone’s day or to give credit for a 

job well done! Give an extra compliment on National Compliment Day, 

which is observed annually on January 24 th . 

A compliment has a powerful effect. It can instill confidence in a child 

or validate someone’s hard work. A compliment not only improves the 

receiver’s mood, but it also says something about the giver. It tells them 

you noticed. Whether we recognize someone’s achievement or their 

classic style, a compliment can go a long way. 

To give a great compliment, first be sincere. People have a way of 

knowing when we are fake. If you don’t mean it, it’s worse than getting a 

thoughtless birthday gift. 

Complimenting character versus a new haircut are different rewards. 

The first says you respect the person and the other tells them you paid 

attention. Sometimes the receiver needs to hear one or the other or both. 

Human beings like to be unique, original. Strive to compliment what 

makes a person stand out above the rest. Take the time to reflect on what 

you admire about the person. 

HOW TO OBSERVE: Make sure to compliment someone and use 

#NationalComplimentDay to post on social media. 

HISTORY: Kathy Chamberlin of Hopkinton, NH and Debby Hoffman of 

Concord, NH created National Compliment Day in 1998.

his example - the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service 

that so radiantly defined Dr. King’s character and empowered his leadership. On this holiday, 

we commemorate the universal, unconditional love, forgiveness and nonviolence that 

empowered his revolutionary spirit. 

Dr. King knew that it wasn’t enough just to talk the talk, that he had to walk the walk for his 

words to be credible. And so we commemorate on this holiday the man of action, who put 

his life on the line for freedom and justice every day, the man who braved threats and jail 

and beatings and who ultimately paid the highest price to make democracy a reality for all 

Americans. 

On this day we commemorate Dr. King’s great dream of a vibrant, multiracial nation united in 

justice, peace and reconciliation; a nation that has a place at the table for children of every 

race and room at the inn for every needy child. It is a day of interracial and intercultural 

cooperation and sharing. No other day of the year brings so many peoples from different 

cultural backgrounds together in such a vibrant spirit of brother and sisterhood. Whether 

you are African-American, Hispanic or Native American, whether you are Caucasian or Asian- 

American, you are part of the great dream Martin Luther King, Jr. had for America. This is not 

a black holiday; it is a peoples’ holiday. 

We commemorate on this holiday the ecumenical leader and visionary who embraced 

the unity of all faiths in love and truth. And though we take patriotic pride that Dr. King 

was an American, on this holiday we must also commemorate the global leader who 

inspired nonviolent liberation movements around the world. Indeed, on this day, programs 

commemorating my husband’s birthday are being observed in more than 100 nations. 

The Holiday commemorates America’s pre-eminent advocate of nonviolence - the man who 

taught by his example that nonviolent action is the most powerful, revolutionary force for 

social change available to oppressed people in their struggles for liberation. 

This holiday honors the courage of a man who endured harassment, threats and beatings 

and even bombings. We commemorate the man who went to jail 29 times to achieve freedom 

for others and who knew he would pay the ultimate price for his leadership, but kept on 

marching and protesting and organizing anyway. 

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is not only for celebration and remembrance, education and 

tribute, but above all a day of service. All across America on the Holiday, his followers perform 

service in hospitals and shelters and prisons and wherever people need some help. It is a 

day of volunteering to feed the hungry, rehabilitate housing, tutoring those who can’t read, 

mentoring at-risk youngsters, consoling the broken-hearted and a thousand other projects 

for building the beloved community of his dream. 

We call you to commemorate this Holiday by making your personal commitment to serve humanity 

with the vibrant spirit of unconditional love that was his greatest strength and which empowered 

all of the great victories of his leadership. And with our hearts open to this spirit of unconditional 

love, we can indeed achieve the Beloved Community of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream.
