management company rep manager Shannon 

Abernathy immediately.

to show up on the outside of our properties on 

both brick as well as wooden/wall board surfaces. 

Keeping the outside of our homes and garages 

looking as good as possible is a key part of 

maintaining a positive situation in our neighborhood 

with respect to quality, property 

value and positive curb appeal. As a result, it 

is often necessary for property owners to clean 

the outside of their homes to eliminate any 

mold and/or mildew conditions. Power washing 

is the best way to handle this although one 

can purchase materials from the hardware 

store that can be attached to a garden hose 

to try to correct these issues. 

During their regular inspections, our management 

company (ACMP) has been and will 

continue to note properties that need to correct 

such mold and mildew conditions. These 

are deed restriction violations (DRV’s) and 

property owners should not ignore the letters 

that they receive with respect to requests to 

correct these issues.

The Board would like to thank everyone for 

doing their best to keep their homes and yards 

and in turn the entire neighborhood looking 

as good as possible. We all benefit from everyone’s 

pride and hard work with respect to 

taking care of their homes. It is really a “team 

effort” to maintain our property values and 

the positive conditions in BCS3.

As some of you may have noticed, the BCS3. 

org website has been inactive for some time. 

The Board has opted to “take down” the 

website since we lost our ability to technically 

support it as to updates and new information 

due to our website administrator moving out 

of the neighborhood. 

If any resident is interested in helping Board 

resurrect the website, please contact any 

Board member as to your interest.

CHARLESTOWN COLONY 

(CHC) NOTES FROM THE BOARD 

HAPPY VALENTINE’S & PRESIDENT’S DAY! 

I am certain we were all ready to put last year 

to bed, “2017” rest in peace! We have had a 

tough few months! Rebuilding our lives and 

homes can be very stressful. Some of us were 

impacted minimally by the flood while others 

suffered significant damage evacuating by 

boat with only the clothes on our back. Some 

of us are still not back in our homes yet and if 

we are back, our homes are still not completely 

functional. Now, more than ever we need to 

come together as a community and help one 

another. When a catastrophic event happens 

such a massive amount of Harvey rainwater 

being released into our neighborhoods, the 

strong will survive! The Charlestown Colony 

HOA Board members are determined to 

help bring our community back together. 

Our community is resilient and we will come 

back stronger, better and more beautiful than 

before Hurricane Harvey! 

Did you see Santa? He visited us at Charlestown 

Colony Park on December 16 th spreading 

holiday cheer to all the good little boys and 

girls of Charlestown Colony! Stay tuned, the 

HOA is planning on hosting more community 

events this year that will be announced in the 

Charlestown Colony Newsletter or posted in 

the event calendar on NextDoor Neighbor. 

HAPPENING SOON! 

• Super Bowl Sunday - February 4 th 

• Valentine’s Day - February 14 th 

• Berry Center - Home & Garden Show 

February 17 th & 18 th 

• Cypress Fairbanks ISD Student Holiday - 

February 19 th 

• Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo - February 

27 th -March 18 th (Don’t forget about 

all the Pre-Rodeo events including the trail 

riders) 

ANNUAL DUES PAYMENT 

As of February 1 st , unpaid annual dues are 

considered delinquent and subject to late 

fees and penalties. Our management company 

has new policies and procedures in place 

to collect on past due HOA assessments. If 

these have not been paid yet, please make 

every effort to pay or make a payment arrangement. 

The Board worked diligently to 

maintain our HOA dues at $300 for 2018 although 

the neighborhood incurred additional 

expenses caused by the flooding. There are 

several payment options available.

HOME RENOVATION PROJECTS 

Many of us are in various phases of renovating 

our homes. Please be conscious of our deed 

restrictions and the Architectural Review form 

required to complete exterior projects such as 

replacing fences, exterior painting and pretty 

much any other exterior project attached to 

the home that can be viewed from the street. 

The Architectural form can be obtained from 

Principle Management Group Houston (PMG). 

We have all endured a lot due to the flood 

and have probably filled out enough forms 

over the last few months to last a life time. 

However, this form is just another step in the 

renovation process and keeping the project 

on track. Our deed restrictions have these 

forms in place to maintain the appearance of 

Charlestown Colony. If exterior projects are 

completed without consent, the homeowner 

could be subject to make changes such as 

re-painting the house all over again which 

is costly and time consuming. Most of the 

Architectural Review forms can be processed 

within 10 business days, but it could take up 

to 30 days. If it is urgent, please indicate that 

on the form and include a phone number. 

PMG may be able to offer a verbal, “yes” to 

get the project started while the form is being 

processed. 

TRASH PICK-UP 

As we continue to work on renovating our 

homes, please be cognizant of trash collection 

dates and the items that should be included 

in the trash for pick up. If the trash cans are 

left out, there is a possibility that a deed restriction 

violation letter may be sent. 

Trash Pick-up is Monday and Thursday by 

WCA unless it falls on one of the holidays 

below.

regarding the recycling program.

FRONT COVER

We are looking for great photos to use on the front cover of your newsletter! Pictures must be high quality (min 300 dpi). No cell 

phone photos allowed. Email photos for consideration to lorie@krenekprinting.com with the name of your subdivision, and any credits 

that should be published with your photo (such as a professional photographer.) Names of children and/or adults shown on the photo 

will be included by request only. By submitting your photo, you are giving permission to use your photo on the cover or inside your 

newsletter, as well as other Krenek Printing publications.

• Steel and aluminum containers: Beer, soda, tuna, vegetable, juice, 

pet food and similar metal containers are acceptable. 

HAZARDOUS WASTE 

Hazardous Waste such as paint and paint related products, batteries, 

electronics etc. should not be put out in regular trash for pick-up. There 

are several options to dispose of these items. 

Harris County Household Hazardous Waste: 

http://eng.hctx.net/watershed/hhw_home.html

to www.bestbuy.com and type “recycle” into the “search Best Buy” area 

at the top of the page 

SIGNS, SIGNS AND MORE SIGNS 

We have seen a plethora of signs such as “Sell Me Your Flooded House.” 

If you see these please say something to the management company or 

take these signs down. We, the homeowners, are the best defense to 

maintaining the integrity of our home values. 

“Garage Sale” Signs 

As we continue to clean out and rebuild our houses, some of us are guilty 

of having garage sales, which could be construed as a deed restriction 

violation, please do not leave the “Garage Sale” signs up. Many of these 

signs are being left out for several days. Please make sure that these signs 

are removed promptly. Since there is usually an address attached to the 

sign, it will not be difficult for the management company to deliver a 

deed restriction violation letter to the homeowner. 

MUD 102 ALERTS 

Stay up to date on trash pick-up and water alerts by signing up for MUD 

102 Alerts. It only takes a couple of minutes to sign up.

please consider repainting (approved colors only). However, before you 

start painting, you must submit an ACC application to the management 

company for review.

Also, please remember to place garbage curbside after 6 PM, the night 

before pickup. 

(GC1) GARAGE SALES 

According to the State Comptroller’s office, garage sales are permitted 

only twice annually. If more than that, it will be assumed that a business 

is being operated out of home, which is in direct violation of the deed 

restrictions and necessary action will be taken. 

(GC1) LOST AND FOUND PETS 

The first thing to do if you find a lost dog that does not have a tag, is to 

take it to any vet’s clinic or Petsmart and have it scanned for a micro chip. 

This is the fastest way to get the dog back to its owner. If it does not 

have a micro chip, please look for signs to make sure the dog gets back 

to its rightful owner. A dog that is left to wander is subject to being hit 

by a car, abuse or starving to death. Those of you who are dog owners, 

please be sure to keep a collar and tag on it at all times. Even if the dog 

is micro chipped, it is much easier to return the dog to you if it has your 

contact information on a tag. 

(GC1) WELCOME PACKAGES 

We have welcome packages, which include a quick start guide to 

Georgetown Colony 1, deed restrictions, by which, this subdivision 

abides and architectural guidelines and forms. They will be handed out 

to new residents, but are also available upon request by contacting SCS 

Management at 281-463-1777. 

(GC1) HOME IMPROVEMENTS 

When considering home improvements, please submit an Architectural 

Review Form to the Board for approval prior to beginning of any exterior 

work. The forms may be obtained from SCS Management at www. 

scsmngt.com and are approved through your local Architectural Control 

Board. Projects shall be completed on a timely basis. 

(GC1) DEED RESTRICTION COMPLAINTS 

Any resident may file a complaint either by contacting SCS management 

at 281-463-1777 or georgetowncolony@yahoo.com, where you may 

email the Board members.

Questions about the neighborhood? Check us out on our website - www. 

jamestowncolonyhoa.com. This is the website maintained for us by 

PMG/Associa.

The new Board is committed in improving the communications shared 

within the neighborhood. We hope to have improvements to both of 

these platforms very soon. 

A private Facebook page was created to continue the neighbors helping 

neighbors in the Harvey recovery. While this page is private, it can be 

useful to those wanting to provide help to those still needing it.

as we drove past all the brightly lighted homes. 

(JC) 2018 EASTER EGG HUNT 

Easter comes early this year! The 2018 Easter Egg Hunt will likely be held 

March 31 st in the Section 1 park on Arcadian Shores. Look for signs at 

the entrances a week before the event. If you’d like to volunteer to help 

with the event, please contact community activities committee co-chairs, 

Angelica Kellogg (832-755-7834) or Jennifer Pearce (713-702-6620) or 

respond to the event notice on NextDoor. 

(JC) TRASH PICKUP 

Since there are so many new residents in the neighborhood in recent 

months, it looks like a good time to reiterate trash pickup rules. 

Trash pickup in our neighborhoods is on Monday and Thursday and 

recycling pickup is only on Mondays. Your trash and garbage must be 

out, ready for pickup, by 7 AM on collection days. You should not put out 

your trash before 6 PM on Sunday or Wednesday night and your trash 

cans need to be removed from the curb and out of sight no later than 

Monday or Thursday evening. 

If a holiday falls on garbage collection day, there will be no collection 

that day. Collections will take place on the next scheduled collection day. 

Don’t place bulky items out on delayed pickup day because of the large 

volume of garbage on those days. Trash cans or bags that are mistakenly 

put out at the curb on holidays and left there at the curb till the next 

pickup day will likely earn you a deed restriction letter. 

If you need an extra recycling bin, please call the WCA office (281-368- 

8397). WCA will replace any bins that are defective or otherwise become 

unusable due to normal wear and tear. Stolen, lost or additional bins 

can be replaced for a small fee. 

For more information about garbage pickup, go to 

www.hcmud102.org/garbage/. 

(JC) RECYCLABLE MATERIAL 

WCA will collect the following items each recycling day: 

• Paper: Newsprint, magazines, catalogs, junk mail and envelopes, copy 

paper, file folders, paper grocery bags, telephone books, greeting cards. 

Cardboard such as cereal boxes, shoe boxes, soda and beer boxes and 

storage/moving boxes. 


• Glass containers: Post-consumer food and 

juice containers and beer and soda bottles. 

• Plastic containers: Post-consumer food, 

juice, soda, water and shampoo containers. 

Plastic items must contain the international 

recycling code 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7. Plastic 

grocery/shopping bags and Styrofoam are 

excluded. Plastic bags can be recycled at 

your local Kroger. 

• Steel and aluminum containers: Beer, 

soda, tuna, vegetable, juice, pet food and 

similar metal containers are acceptable. 

• Unacceptable or excluded items include: 

Soiled food packaging, paper towel, paint 

or solvent containers, light bulbs, mirrors, 

ceramic glass plates or dishes, coat hangers 

and wrapping paper. If you have a question 

regarding whether an item is acceptable for 

recycling, contact WCA customer service at 

281-368-8397, Monday-Thursday, 8 AM to 

5 PM and Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM. 

(JC) DO WE HAVE YOUR 

EMAIL & PHONE? 

If we can email, phone or text you, we can 

save the HOA some money for notifications. 

In the event of emergencies (like Hurricane 

Harvey) or to let you know about community 

events/news, we need a reliable way 

to contact residents. Email jamestowncolonyhoa@gmail.com 

and put “ADD” in 

the subject line. Include your name, street 

address, home phone, cell phone and preferred 

email address(es) in the body of the 

email if possible. We don’t send out many 

emails, so you won’t be overwhelmed.

Date: Thursday, February 22, 2018 

Time: Sign in at 6:45 PM, 7-8 PM

Should you have any comments or questions 

regarding the Annual Meeting or the Association, 

please do not hesitate to contact your 

community manager, Shannon Abernathy at

(YTC) YARD TIPS 

February may well be the toughest gardening 

month. Gardeners in warm climates don’t 

know what kind of weather to expect from day 

to day. Thank goodness, the month is short. 

February is for planning and for seeing the 

first signs that spring is around the corner. 

Take advantage of rare 

sunny days and get 

back in your garden. 

Enrich your soil in flower 

beds. During dry spells, 

dig in composted manure 

and garden waste. 

Plant perennials, bareroot 

roses, trees, shrubs 

and vines. Finish pruning 

roses and crepe myrtles. 

Clean and sharpen 

garden tools. 

The Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department is requesting 

homeowner assistance in addressing 

the low hanging trees within the community. 

These low hanging branches or limbs are hampering 

responses to calls for assistance. The 

branches and limbs are damaging equipment 

and Homeowner’s trees. Routes to locations 

have to be altered. Some locations are unable 

to have an alternate route, leaving no 

recourse but to park the apparatus and walk 

to the location. 

Several pieces of equipment are 13 feet tall 

and CFVFD is requesting that homeowners 

trim the trees to have a 14 feet umbrella over 

the street. The Department members have 

been instructed not to damage their apparatus 

or the Homeowner’s trees by driving down 

streets that do not have appropriate passage. 

The fire department does not wish to have a 

citizen with a fire or medical emergency that 

delays them receiving attention due to having 

to locate an alternate route or being forced to 

walk to the emergency location. 

(YTC) CHRISTMAS DECORATION 

CONTEST 

Thank you all for your hard work that went 

into decorating your house and yards for 

Christmas. We found it harder to choose this

seeing all of you again next year and a special

the companies that own these vehicles, the next step will be to start

neighborhood is against our deed restrictions, but because a few are 

abusing our policy, we are going to be forced to press the issue of no 

commercial vehicles in the neighborhood at all.

must have it parked in your driveway and Not on the street.

HELP HORNE 

ELEMENTARY! 

An easy way to help 

our school is to turn 

trash into cash. 

Horne Elementary 

participates in the 

Box Tops for Education 

program. 

Some of the grocery 

items we use have Box Tops on them. Each Box Top is worth 10 

cents for the school. You would pick up a dime on street - so cut out 

the Box Tops and donate to Horne! You can find the Box Tops logo on 

hundreds of products like Cheerios®, Hamburger Helper® and Kleenex®, 

in almost every aisle of the store. To donate the Box Tops, simply 

bring them to the reception desk at Horne, give them to a family with 

children who attend Horne or contact this year’s coordinator, Rufina 

Bonilla, for pick up. Her email address is rufinamb@gmail.com and her 

cell phone number is 713-294-6940. Let’s collect them all year long and 

give Horne a big boost to start the new school year!

See To Succeed Initiative 


CFISD Continues Growing Collaboration 

With City Of Houston For See To Succeed Initiative 

Following a very successful first year, CFISD bussed even more students 

- approximately 1,600 - to the Berry Center from January 8 th -11 th for 

free comprehensive eye exams and eyewear provided by the Harris 

County Health Department’s See to Succeed program. The See to 

Succeed program partners with several organizations and community 

volunteers throughout the area to organize weeklong vision clinics 

for students between the ages of 6 to 18 who have not passed statemandated 

vision screenings initiated by school nurses. 

Transporting CFISD students to the clinics presented logistical and 

scheduling issues, but See to Succeed acquired mobile vision exam 

equipment. That allowed team members, volunteers and vision 

professionals to travel and establish more remote locations. 

And in the case of CFISD, that meant setting up the program at the Berry 

Center. Approximately 400 students per day were examined and fitted 

for glasses over the four days at no cost to participating families. Due to 

the increase, a separate See to Succeed program will be set up at Fiest 

Elementary School to serve the high demand on that campus. The total 

increased from the roughly 1,100 students that participated a year ago. 

Consent forms to participate in the program were sent home via school 

nurses for those students who failed the vision screenings on campus 

multiple times or were deemed as needing an examination. 

According to Bevin Gordon, CFISD’s director for health services, 

approximately 5,500 students within the district will fail the statemandated 

vision screening each year. And from those, roughly half 

would not get a professional eye examination to address the issues. 

Each day of the four began with eligible students shuttled by CFISD 

buses to and from their campuses to the Berry Center. Upon arrival, 

See to Succeed employees and volunteers greeted the students and led 

them to the auditorium for registration as well as distributing stickers 

for each to help identify students throughout the day. The process was 

broken down into stations, including pre-screening rooms and waiting 

areas, before each student would ultimately visit with an eye doctor. 

Stations included distance acuity, color, stereo, near point of 

accommodation and conversion, slit lamp, auto refraction and 

refraction, optical frame selection, check out and data entry. If a 

student needed an immediate referral or follow-up consultation, 

program workers were ready to call parents and guardians. Three 

urgent cases were caught in the first two days. 

The entire screening process lasted between 2-4 hours per student. During 

their time at the Berry Center, students were accompanied by CFISD clinic 

assistants, who joined them as chaperones. Breakfast and lunch were 

provided to students by the CFISD nutrition services department to ensure 

meals were not missed as a result of a student being at the Berry Center. 

The partnership with CFISD and its personnel made the four-day operation 

a smooth success, said See to Succeed Manager Patricia Watson. 

More than 200 employees from Watson’s team joined many volunteers 

to make the program run as smooth as it does. Participating students 

will have eyeglasses delivered to their home campuses in roughly four 

weeks, a part of the process almost more rewarding as helping each 

student through his or her exam. 

The See to Succeed program has been in operation from its primary 

Heights location by the City of Houston Health Department since 

2007. Since its start, the program has screened more than 22,000 

children and distributed over 19,000 glasses to those in need. See to 

Succeed program partners include the Houston Department of Health 

and Human Services, University of Houston, San Jacinto College, 

Berkeley Eye Center, public and private schools, as well as community 

volunteers from across the Houston area. For more information, visit 

See to Succeed at www.HoustonService.org.

2017 Class 6A Division II State Champions 

Cy-Fair High School football team, coaching staff and athletic trainers pose with the 2017 Class 6A Division II 

state championship trophy. The Bobcats became CFISD’s first football state champions. 

The Cy-Fair High School football team was honored and celebrated 

for winning the 2017 Class 6A Division II state championship, as the 

school, alumni and community members came together for a parade 

on January 12 th and rally that followed at the high school football field. 

The Bobcats captured the state title with their 51-35 win over Waco 

Midway on December 23 rd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Cy-Fair 

was the third football program in CFISD history to reach a state 

championship game, but is the first in the district to win it all. 

Cy-Fair fans and community members lined Cypress North Houston 

Road, where the parade began near the high school baseball field. 

Following a turn at Telge Road, hundreds of students and staff from 

nearby Lamkin Elementary School and Arnold Middle School cheered 

on the parade as well. Three vehicles from the Cy-Fair Volunteer 

Fire Department carried the football team, while coaches, student 

trainers and other program personnel rode in other vehicles. 

to congratulatory speeches by the high school administration, 

Pustejovsky offered thanks to not only his coaches and players, but 

the community in helping the Bobcats win the championship. Each 

member of the football team, film crew and athletic training staff was 

then introduced. 

Ray Zepeda, CFISD director of athletics, closed the rally by presenting 

the state championship trophy to the Bobcats with the crowd giving 

a raucous ovation. “It’s good recognition for our players because they 

did accomplish something that very few people get to do,” Pustejosky 

said. “I’m very proud of them.” 

The Cy-Fair Air Force JROTC, marching band, Brigade drill team and 

cheerleaders also took part in the parade. Cy-Fair Head Football 

Coach Ed Pustejovsky and his wife Marianne served as the parade’s 

grand marshals. 

“It was a time to be able to bring our staff, our students, our alumni 

and our community together to savor the moment and celebrate 

this historical event,” said Cy-Fair Principal Ana Martin. “I’m still 

processing it all and what it means to Cy-Fair High School and what 

it means to Cy-Fair ISD. We’re just so proud of the hard work of our 

football team, our coaches and our staff.” 

A rally at the Cy-Fair football stadium followed, as fans filled 

the stands and cheered throughout the ceremony. In addition 

Cy-Fair High School Head Football Coach Ed Pustejovsky 

and his wife Marianne serve as the grand marshals.

Family 

Focus 

Family Roster 

Mom: Chelsey, works for Health and Human Service 

Commission (HHSC of Texas). Went to undergrad at 

Baylor University. Originally raised in El Paso, Texas 

then family moved to Houston at 18 YO. 

DATED EVENTS 

Dad: Cobby, attorney for a surgical 

center. Went to undergrad at Lincoln 

University. Originally from Ghana, 

most of his family still lives there. 

Daughter: 

Nina, 3 YO. 

Loves ballet, PJ masks, and 

playing dress up. 

“We also have a greyhound who is a retired racer, Artie. We got him from a rescue organization. He sleeps most of the time but enjoys walking 

in the neighborhood and occasionally runs circles in our backyard. He also is terrified of rain and fireworks so depending on the time of year, 

we have to give him special love and attention.” 

What They Love to Do 

Cobby enjoys biking in the area and exploring 

new places with his bike. Chelsey likes going 

on walks with their dog and riding her bike, but 

admits that she is not quite as adventurous with 

bike trails as Cobby. 

Nina loves utilizing different playgrounds and 

activities at the YMCA and the bounce park. They 

spend a lot of time at the pool during the summer, 

whether it is at the YMCA or their community pool. 

Mom and dad enjoy going on food adventures and 

exploring new family owned restaurants. In the 

past, they were more involved with the Westcreek 

community garden, but haven’t been able to be 

as involved this season. They hope to be able 

to get more involved in the spring. As a family, 

they liked learning about gardening from other 

members of the community, especially since they 

are new to gardening. Nina really enjoyed pulling 

the vegetables though apparently, she wasn’t 

always the biggest fan of eating them. Surely 

many other parents can relate! 

Why They Love Living Here 

“We have lived here since the summer of 2015. We like living in the area due to the mature trees, walking and bike paths, 

accessible parks, and overall proximity to family friendly activities. We also enjoy the people in this community and love 

the diversity of the area. 

In the previous cities that we lived in, it was not as easy to get involved in the 

community, but that is not the case here. Over the past year, we organized 

our block’s National Night Out event which was the first time our block 

had this event in years. We also helped with Westcreek’s Easter Egg hunt, 

which our community had not had in years. We enjoyed the ability to build 

Love is in the Air 

How They Express It: “We don’t really do anything for Valentine’s Day. We 

exchange gifts and cards but it’s not a big holiday for us.” 

Ideal VD: Dad’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going to a new restaurant 

that no one has heard about yet. Mom’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going 

to the restaurant where Dad proposed, but unfortunately that restaurant is 

no longer in business. Other than that, Mom would enjoy spending time at 

home with a nice store bought meal while watching a movie. 

What Makes It Tick: “At Nina’s daycare, they have a Valentine’s Day party and 

exchange Valentine’s Day cards. We usually spend the night before Valentine’s 

Day getting her school cards ready.” Nina usually receives a timeless stuffed 

animal from Mom and Dad (who doesn’t love a new squishy friend?) and 

enjoys candy she received from her Valentine’s card exchange at her school.

Each month, one family will be chosen from one of our communities. To feature your family, email familyfocus@krenekprinting.com 

10 TH ANNIVERSARY 

SALUTE TO OUR HEROES GALA 

On February 3, 2018, the Cy-Fair Educational 

Foundation (CFEF) will celebrate the 10 th 

Anniversary of the Salute to Our Heroes Gala

protect our freedom and liberty. The evening 

includes a Missing Man Table and Honors 

Ceremony to honor our missing loved ones (or

Salvatore “Sal” Giunta, former U.S. Army Staff 

Sergeant, is the evenings guest speaker. Giunta 

was presented with our nation’s highest military 

decoration-The Medal of Honor-for his heroic 

actions during combat in the Korengal Valley of 

Afghanistan on October 25, 2007. His courage 

and leadership while under extreme enemy fire 

were integral to his team’s survival and led to 

his selection as the first living recipient of the 

Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War and the 

eighth service member to receive the nation’s 

highest military decoration for valor in Iraq and 

Afghanistan. 

CFEF was established in 1970 as a non-profit 

to raise money to fund a scholarship for high 

school graduates in the area. Over the past 47 

years, the Foundation has grown tremendously

FREE MEMOIR WRITING WORKSHOP 

Cypress Historical Society at Cypress Top Historic Park running through 

February 22nd 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

PET INFORMATION 

ATTENTION! PET POOPS / YOU SCOOP 

Please be respectful of community grounds and neighbors’ yards. If 

your pet poops during your walk, be prepared to scoop and trash. 

Come with a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. It 

may not be the most fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show 

your respect for every homeowner and our beautiful community. 

VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION 

(Formerly called Harris County Animal Control) 

The Veterinary Public Health Division posts photos of all animals 

found on their website and updates it twice daily. If you have lost 

your pet, please check this website, www.hcphes.org/vph. 

Have you lost a pet? 

Start your search immediately, don’t wait to make flyers. 

Contact all possible animal control or animal welfare agencies in 

the area. Visit each location at least every other day. 

Call your pet’s veterinarian and the microchip company to make 

sure they have current contact information for you. A citizen may try 

to call the veterinarian’s office or microchip company themselves 

from your pet’s tags. 

Call all the veterinarians in your area to alert them to the description 

of your lost pet in case someone brings it to their clinic. 

Check with your neighbors, especially families with children and 

ask if they’ve seen a pet that looks like yours. 

Search your neighborhood on foot, your pet maybe be nearby but 

is injured and unable to get back home. 

Leave a towel or article of clothing with your scent on it outside of 

your home. Your pet may be disorientated and will be attracted 

by your scent. 

Have you found a pet? 

First, think of the animal as lost and not abandoned and make every 

effort to reunite the animal to an owner. 

Contact the HCPH VPH office by telephone and report the animal 

as found. 

Bring the animal to the HCPH VPH facility or check with a local 

veterinarian to scan the animal for a microchip. 

Return to the place where you found the animal and put up a found 

pet poster near that location. 

If you find the owner, especially off a newspaper or website posting, 

ask them to provide a picture of the animal and meet in a public 

place like a police station. 

More information about Microchips & Microchip companies 

A microchip is a small device (size of a grain of rice) that is permanent 

and implanted with a needle under the skin of pets. 

Pets do not have to be given any pain medication or anesthesia to 

implant a microchip. 

Microchips are not likely to move or need repair if implanted correctly. 

Microchips, when scanned, show a unique code. The microchip 

must be registered with the corresponding microchip manufacture 

to record any owner and animal data. 

Microchips do not work like GPS locators or LoJack and cannot give 

a signal to find the location of your lost pet.

HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW 

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. 

While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running 

at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many 

children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could 

result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal. 

Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be 

kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris 

County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized 

to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat nor to allow 

any dog or cat to become a stray.” 

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog 

or cat under the following circumstances: 

1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in 

length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable 

of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does 

not have access to sidewalk or street.” 

While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you 

work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly 

restrained. 

Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place 

for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not 

only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, 

but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or 

possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet. 

Please remember that cats fall under the same laws as dogs and 

must be licensed and kept restrained when not on the premises 

of the owner. We’ve been told that spreading moth balls in flower 

beds might keep cats away. 

To make a complaint or report an animal that 

is not properly restrained please contact:

LIGHTER CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO 

You could make this on National Fettuccine Alfredo Day February 7 th ! 

INGREDIENTS: 

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts 

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 

4 cloves garlic, minced ground black pepper to taste 

2 cups heavy cream 2 egg yolks 

salt to taste 

1 pound fettuccine 

1 sprig chopped fresh parsley 

2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided 

DIRECTIONS: 

Combine chicken breasts and chicken broth in a saucepan over medium-high 

heat. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low; simmer for 5 minutes. 

Turn breasts, cover and simmer another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and 

let sit with the cover on for 15 minutes. 

Remove chicken breasts from the broth and set aside to cool, reserving the 

broth in the saucepan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into 

bite-size slices. Return the chicken broth to medium heat and cook until 

reduced to 1 cup. Stir garlic, black pepper and heavy cream into the reduced 

broth; bring to a simmer and remove from heat. 

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Beat 1 tablespoon of the warm 

cream mixture into the eggs until thoroughly incorporated; repeat until 

about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture is used. Whisk the warm cream 

and egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. 

Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture almost 

comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and 

black pepper to taste. 

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine in boiling water, 

stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about 7 minutes. Drain. 

Stir parsley, 1 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cream mixture into the pasta. 

Remove from heat, cover and let sit for a few minutes until thick. 

Fold chicken and 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano into the pasta mixture to serve.

CORNERSTONE UMC 

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE 

18081 West Road, 281-859-4141, 

cornerstoneumc.org 

Ash Wednesday is the first day of the Season of 

Lent occurring forty days (excluding Sundays) 

before Good Friday. It is traditionally a time for 

worshippers to gather together with penitent 

hearts to have their foreheads marked with a 

cross of ashes in an act of penance and contrition 

before the Lord. On Wednesday evening, 

February 14 th at 7 PM. we will be having an Ash 

Wednesday worship celebration. This service will 

include the marking of ashes on each worshippers 

head followed by a quiet time of reflection at the 

altar. In addition, as we do each Ash Wednesday 

service, there will be something “extra special” 

to illustrate God’s forgiveness of our sins. Special 

music will be provided by the Chancel Choir. 

This will be a meaningful service and everyone is 

invited to attend. 

ST. CUTHBERT CHURCH 

SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER 

You are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s 

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on February 

13 th from 5:30-7 PM. We will eat pancakes and 

play bingo! Shrove Tuesday originated during the 

Middle Ages. Food items like meats, fats, eggs, 

milk and fish were regarded as restricted during 

Lent. To keep such food from being wasted, many 

families would have big feasts on Shrove Tuesday. 

The English tradition of eating pancakes on 

Shrove Tuesday came about as a way to use as 

much milk, fats and eggs as possible before Ash 

Wednesday began. In France, the consumption 

of all fats and fatty foods on this day coined the 

name “Fat Tuesday” or Mardi Gras. 

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICES 

You are also invited to the Ash Wednesday 

services at St. Cuthbert Episcopal church on 

February 14 th at 6:30 AM, 4:30 PM and 7 PM. All 

services have Holy Communion and the imposition 

of ashes. The 4:30 PM service is designed 

for children and their families. Ash Wednesday 

marks the beginning of the season of Lent, which 

is dedicated to reflection, prayer and fasting in 

preparation for Easter. 

LENTEN PROGRAM: NAVIGATING 

EMOTIONAL WELLNESS 

Everyone is invited to the Lenten program: Navigating 

Emotional Wellness, which will meet on 

Wednesday evenings beginning February 21 st , 

from 6:30-7:30 at St. Cuthbert Church. We all experience 

the full range of emotions - happiness, 

frustration, fear, anger, joy, sadness, awe, peace 

- emotions that are given to us by God. As our city 

recovers from the trauma of Harvey, many of us 

have felt these emotions in new ways. Scripture 

is filled with emotion, both God’s emotions as 

well as those of His people. Our emotions influence 

our lives as they inform, motivate and guide 

us in what we do or don’t do, say or don’t say and 

react or not. Being intentionally aware of our 

emotions and navigating our reaction to them 

will benefit every aspect of our lives. Come be a 

part of this Lenten study as we prepare ourselves 

to meet the risen Christ. Younger children will 

explore the movie Inside Out. This movie centers 

around an 11-year old girl and her emotions as 

her family makes a cross-country move. The 

nursery will be open if requested. St. Cuthbert 

Church is located at 17020 West Road, at the 

corner of West and Queenston. Visit stcuthbert. 

org for more information about all of our events.

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.

LLC 

Go On A Surprise Trip. What better way to spend time together than by going on a 

surprise trip? Instead of just telling your partner that you planned a getaway, make 

them work to figure out what their Valentine’s present is. Write the name of the destination 

on a piece of paper and cut it up into pieces that they have to put together. 

If you want to really build up the anticipation, you can always give them one piece 

of the puzzle a day leading up to Valentine’s Day. 

Kidnap Them For A Day. If your partner is into fun gags, put a blindfold on him or 

her and drive them to your chosen destination before you take the blindfold off. It 

can be something as simple as a romantic dinner to their favorite restaurant or a 

visit to their favorite museum. Tell them little clues along the way to see if they can 

actually guess where they are going. 

Act Like A Tourist. Just because you have lived in a city for a while it doesn’t mean 

that you’ve visited everywhere there is to go. For Valentine’s Day, do a little bit of 

research about restaurants or attractions that you and your partner have never been 

to before. Then on Valentine’s Day, act like tourists at the place you end up going 

too. Don’t just rush through the experience. Really soak it all in, spend a lot of time 

there and just have a good time overall. 

Can’t Get Away For A Few Days? Book A Hotel Room. If you and your partner want 

to go on a vacation, but don’t have the time, consider booking a really nice hotel 

room for 1-2 nights. Even though you won’t actually be leaving your city, it might 

feel like it if you choose the right hotel. Not only should the hotel you choose have 

plenty of activities and amenities, but it should be in a location that will allow you 

to easily enjoy restaurants and shops within walking distance. 

Share The Romance. If you and your partner are the kind of couple that likes to outdo 

one another, consider trading off. On even days you could plan romantic activities 

and on odd days it’s your partner’s turn. This can last for only a few days, a week or 

the entire month of February! If you really want to wow them consider going on a 

day cruise on your day or going camping for the night.

Engagement Stories 

featuring your neighbors! 

Chelsea & William 

What was supposed to be a family vacation to Las Vegas/the Grand Canyon 

the week before Thanksgiving, ended up turning into the most picture 

perfect proposal. The morning we were supposed to leave for the Grand 

Canyon, I wasn’t feeling well, and said I would stay back. However, William 

was very insistent that I come. I took some medicine, got ready really 

quickly, and we hopped into the car for our grand excursion. When we got 

to the Grand Canyon, it was freezing outside (to Texans of course!) and 

there was even some snow on the ground. It looked so magical (especially 

considering I have only seen snow a couple of times)! As I was getting out 

of the car, I noticed that one of my fake nails had fallen off (I had gotten my 

nails done the week prior) ON MY LEFT HAND! William’s mother had 

asked, “what hand did the nail fall off from?”, which I thought was a funny 

question to ask. When we got to the Grand Canyon, we stopped to take 

pictures (and get me a jacket because I did NOT plan for freezing weather). 

During one picture, William had bent down to sit for the picture, but in 

my head I was thinking “THIS IS IT! THERE IS WHERE WE GET EN- 

GAGED!” My heart started racing and I was so excited. But....all that was said was, “Chelsea, sit down so we can take the picture.” I was slightly disappointed, 

but I wouldn’t let it ruin my time. We went to go grab a bite to eat, and William and his family were asking when sunset was so we could go to one final stop: 

Yavapai Point. By the time we got there, I was freezing and felt like my hands and legs were going numb and was apprehensive to take more pictures. Then, in 

the most perfect spot, right as we were posing for a picture, William got down on one knee and showed me the most beautiful ring that he picked out himself. 

I didn’t even let him talk I was so in shock that I just went in for a giant hug. When his family asked what I said, I responded with, “oh he never asked!” He 

officially asked, I said “YES!!!!!!!”, and the rest of our “grand” love story is history! 

Lisa & Matt 

My wife and I met on a blind date – we were immediately attracted 

to each other. Later, when the time came, I wanted to have the 

perfect way to propose to her, so I conspired with my mother to 

create the ‘perfect day’. First, my sister, Rachel, took a picture 

of me at our favorite place – Castlewood State Park outside of St. 

Louis, Missouri. From this picture, a wooden jigsaw puzzle was 

created – the largest piece in the center being a sign with my special 

message… ‘Lisa, Will You Marry Me?’. The remaining pieces 

of the puzzle were randomly divided into handmade velvet bags 

that each had a handwritten calligraphy poem on them created 

by me describing a new location for the ‘Treasure Hunt’. Each location 

has some significance since it was a place where we had 

experienced something special together. At the last location, I 

presented her with the final piece and the diamond ring. My wife 

is a very special person who has given me so much…I love her. 


Violet & TJ 

"They" say that after a storm, comes a rainbow....it turns out that "they" 

are correct. I met my fiancé, TJ, about 20 years ago. Nothing became 

of it, except seeing the familiar face from time to time throughout the 

years. On July 15, I ran into the familiar face, yet once again. Except this 

time, it was God's timing and we were engaged on September 16. He is 

the biggest teddy bear with the kindest soul. He is the happily ever after 

that me & daughters needed for so long.... We will say "I do" on 2/11/18. 27
