MESSAGE FROM THE CY-FAIR<br />

VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT:<br />

The Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department is requesting homeowner assistance<br />

in addressing the low hanging trees within the community. These low<br />

hanging branches or limbs are hampering responses to calls for assistance.<br />

The branches and limbs are damaging equipment and Homeowner’s trees.<br />

Routes to locations have to be altered. Some locations are unable to have<br />

an alternate route, leaving no recourse but to park the apparatus and walk<br />

to the location.<br />

Several pieces of equipment are 13 feet tall and CFVFD is requesting that<br />

homeowners trim the trees to have a 14 feet umbrella over the street.<br />

The Department members have been instructed not to damage their<br />

apparatus or the Homeowner’s trees by driving down streets that do not<br />

have appropriate passage. The fire department does not wish to have<br />

a citizen with a fire or medical emergency that delays them receiving<br />

attention due to having to locate an alternate route or being forced to walk<br />

to the emergency location. If damage is caused by a homeowner’s tree, the<br />

homeowner will be held responsible for the repair.<br />

COPPERFIELD WEBSITE<br />

Will you be going away and want the Sheriff’s Department to check on your<br />

home while you’re gone? If so, you can print a Vacation Watch Form from<br />

the website. Simply go to www.copperfield.org and follow the link to the<br />

Online Forms and Documents. Other forms on the site include Architectural<br />

Control Committee Applications and a Deputy Request Form.<br />

and places of worship, schedule of upcoming Board of Director meetings<br />

<strong>Copperfield</strong> Place Village<br />

(CPV) A WORD FROM THE BOARD<br />

The Board wants to thank all of our homeowners that either attended our Annual Homeowners Meeting<br />

or sent in their proxies enabling the Board to conduct our annual meeting. It is so important to respond<br />

by proxy or attend the annual meeting so that we can conduct business. We are your elected Board whom<br />

you give us the right to represent you and our investment in the community! You learn of the budget set<br />

aside for the year, its goals and its accomplishments throughout the year.<br />

This year we elected a new Vice President and President to represent you. Please plan on attending the<br />

next meeting if you want to meet your new Board members. The next scheduled Board meeting is <strong>July</strong><br />

30 th at SCS’s office on Cherry Park Drive. You may contact SCS for confirmation of date and time. Also<br />

contact SCS if you want to be added to the agenda at the meeting to express any concerns.<br />

Again, please be alert for hurricane season, which started in June. Please stay alert, prepared and vigilant.<br />

Listen to all warnings and prepare to leave if warned!!!! We pray and hope that this year we will not<br />

experience what happened last year.<br />

Neighbors, please be considerate of others when you have a “BACKYARD PARTY!” The loud noice level will<br />

not be tolerated and is very inconsiderate of your neighbors. This includes loud music in the garage or<br />

out in your patio. We have been experiencing such behavior even late at night. The Harris County Sheriff<br />

Department can be contacted if you are experiencing this for disturbance of the peace. Call 713-221-6000<br />

(prompt 1).<br />

DOG LEASH LAW<br />

Did you know that Texas has a Dog Leash Law and Harris County enforces it? Your dogs must be on a<br />

leash at all times and not be roaming the neighborhood or being walked without a leash, especially in<br />

our walking trails. If you see a dog being walked without a leash, you may call the non-emergency Harris<br />

County Sheriff’s Offices at 713-221-6000 prompt 1 or call the Harris County Animal Control 281-999-3191.<br />

Refer also to Houston’s Leash Law below:<br />

“Dogs and cats may not run at large in Houston. Running at large means going on public or private property<br />

without the owner or another person having direct physical control of the animal. An animal on a leash is<br />

considered to be under direct physical control of a person.<br />

When animals are not on a leash they must be otherwise restrained, either behind a fence or in some other<br />

enclosure that will prevent their escape.<br />

extra mile keeps our neighborhood looking great!<br />

Drive throughs are done the 1 st week of the month<br />

and selected Yard of the Month will be mailed a gift<br />

certificate in appreciation of your efforts.<br />

No boats, trailers, commercial trucks or inoperable vehicles are allowed in driveways or<br />

street and are against deed restriction violations! You will be charged a fee if you have<br />

(EC) BIRD / EGRETS<br />

& NIGHT HERONS<br />

Over the past four years, Easton Commons Village has been<br />

spared the problem created by some of the larger migratory<br />

birds, Egrets & Night Herons. Other <strong>Copperfield</strong> Villages have<br />

had to become experts and create procedures on how to deal<br />

with this type of wild life.<br />

Keeping up the early spring bird watch, keeping trees trimmed<br />

and installing bird deterrents are key to successful nuisance<br />

avoidance.<br />

<strong>July</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Copperfield</strong> Community Newsletter 9


According to The Texas Breeding Bird Atlas, 2006, some large multi species<br />

heronries are reestablished annually for as many as 30+ years, but others<br />

are not. The reasons for the difference are unknown. (Middlegate June<br />

Newsletter)<br />

We are looking to assemble a team of volunteers. If you are interested,<br />

contact Graham Management at 713-334-8000.<br />

(EC) HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS<br />

Hurricane season is upon us. Although Easton Commons did not experience<br />

flooding or power outages with Harvey, it has experienced week long power<br />

outages in the past hurricanes.<br />

Since natural disasters can involve other natural elements like tornadoes<br />

and flooding, everyone needs to take steps to be prepared. Preparedness<br />

can be as simple as checking the flashlights to make sure they have working<br />

batteries, testing the generator to make sure you know how to operate it or<br />

have containers on hand to store drinking water.<br />

Harris County offers good preparedness advice on their website: www.<br />

readyharris.org.<br />

Get A Kit, Make A Plan, Stay Informed.<br />

(EC) COMMUNITY CENTER<br />

The <strong>Copperfield</strong> Community Center handles all baseball field and meeting<br />

room reservations for parties and special events. Their phone number is<br />

281-856-9060 and days of operation are as follows: Tuesdays Noon-6 PM,<br />

Thursdays Noon-7 PM, Friday & Saturdays 9 AM-1 PM.<br />

(EC) VACATION WATCH<br />

The Harris County Sherriff’s Department has a Vacation Watch Program.<br />

To sign up see the website: www.harriscountyso.org/Programs/programs_<br />

VacationWatch.aspx.<br />

(EC) MOSQUITO CONTROL<br />

Although the Easton Commons HOA has mosquito control come through<br />

regularly during the summer, it is not enough to get rid of them completely.<br />

The summer months can be uncomfortable, due to all of the biting insects.<br />

One of the best ways to prevent mosquitoes is to eliminate their breeding<br />

grounds. Controlling mosquitoes also minimizes the risk of mosquito-borne<br />

diseases, including St. Louis encephalitis and West Nile Virus encephalitis.<br />

Homeowners need to scan their property and dispose of or remedy<br />

anything causing standing water. The eggs that mosquitoes lay in rainwater<br />

hatch in as little as two days. Tip over buckets or containers, flowerpots<br />

with reservoirs, toys, boats, wheelbarrows, birdbaths and wading pools.<br />

Clean clogged roof gutters; fill in low areas of the yard that collects water,<br />

dispose of leaf piles and chlorinate pools. Treat water in fountains or water<br />

gardens if the water does not flow on a regular basis.<br />

(EC) CURB REPAIR<br />

Curbs are repaired through Harris County Precinct 4. To request a work<br />

order, visit their website - www.hcp4.net/cad/. You also may call 281-353-<br />

8424 or fax a report to 281-893-5589. The homeowner’s must be involved<br />

with the request. Only the straight part of the curb in front of the home will<br />

be repaired. The end of the driveway and the inlet (curved smaller area)<br />

to the driveway is the homeowner’s responsibility. Precinct 4 has been<br />

remarkably responsive to requests, often making repairs in only two to<br />

three days.<br />

have an account with WCA, your trash will no longer be picked up.<br />

Trash pickup days are Tuesdays for trash and Fridays for trash and<br />

recycling. Have waste ready at the curb for collection no later than 7 AM.<br />

Residents may purchase a trash receptacle from any hardware store.<br />

clippings to be hauled away or have them placed in a location that cannot<br />

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Home Owners Association has<br />

Middlegate Village<br />

(MG) TRASH PICK-UP SERVICE<br />

Tuesday and Friday. Friday is also recycling pickup. Everyone knows<br />

when trash is picked up, however what you might not know is that WCA<br />

customers in Middlegate pay an extra fee to have trash cans picked up by<br />

the back door. This means that our trashcans may be placed at the back of<br />

our driveway. We DO NOT have to take the trash to the curb. However, big<br />

items along with yard clippings and tree branches should be placed at the<br />

curb. This keeps the neighborhood looking clean even on trash days.<br />

Also, if you still want to put your trash down by the street, please keep it<br />

off the sidewalks. We need to keep our sidewalks clear for our neighbors to<br />

walk their dogs, take a leisurely stroll or to visit with neighbors.<br />

(MG) HELP THE FIRE DEPARTMENT<br />

HELP US<br />

One thing most of us love about our drive through the neighborhood is the<br />

beautiful trees that adorn our streets. This is where the fire department<br />

needs our help. Some of the tree limbs hang TOO LOW and would hit the<br />

fire trucks that come through. Several pieces of equipment are 13 feet tall<br />

and CFVFD is requesting that homeowners trim the trees to have a 14 feet<br />

umbrella over the street. The department members have been instructed<br />

not to damage their apparatus or the homeowners’ trees by driving down<br />

streets that do not have appropriate passage. The fire department does not<br />

wish to delay reporting to a fire or medical emergency in order to locate an<br />

alternate route or being forced to walk to the emergency location.<br />

(MG) VOLUNTEERS<br />

You have heard the saying, “More hands make the job go easier and faster.”<br />

So we are asking for others to step up. This can really help the community<br />

grow. Let’s take it up a notch and make it an even greater place to raise a<br />

family! Your input and participation will go a long way in helping us all to<br />

enjoy our neighborhood. Bird Committee and Newsletter Committee are<br />

active and working to meet needs. What committee would you like to work<br />

on? Contact SCS to ask how you can organize Christmas in the park, judge<br />

yard of the month or perhaps you have an idea for a new committee. You<br />

could be instrumental in keeping the heart beating strong in the middle of<br />

<strong>Copperfield</strong>, in our village of Middlegate.<br />

If you’d like to work on an existing committee or jumpstart another<br />

committee, contact association manager Margie Naranjo by email<br />

mnaranjo@scsmgmt.com, phone 281-500-7129 or website SCS Go. On the<br />

website click on the “groups” tab and you should see our group “Middlegate<br />

Volunteers.” You can join right there and keep up with the volunteers in the<br />

community.<br />

(MG) NEW NEWSLETTER COMMITTEE<br />

The newsletter committee is assembling news for Middlegate column in<br />

<strong>Copperfield</strong> Community Newsletter. Middlegate residents are the ones the<br />

newsletter depends on for story ideas. If you have something you’d like to<br />

see covered, contact SCS and suggest an idea. If you are an enthusiastic<br />

writer or skillful photographer and would like to contribute to newsletter,<br />

contact SCS to be put in touch with committee.<br />

(MG) BIRD COMMITTEE UPDATE<br />

Adult herons are flying over the gazebo park daily. If they are raising young<br />

herons in trees in neighborhood, they will stay nearby till their youngsters<br />

are ready to care for themselves. When all herons and egrets have left their<br />

nests in the fall, be certain to trim the tree or trees that they were nesting<br />

in. Else next season migratory birds could easily return to same trees.<br />

Some nests are solid structures that survive windstorms, rain and hail too.<br />

Remove those nests to make the next construction job an original build, not<br />

just a quick fixer upper.<br />

(MG) ENJOY YOUR MIDDLEGATE PARKS<br />

is bordered by Plum Lake Drive, Pinyon Creek Drive and Lakedale Drive.<br />

Both parks are open during daylight hours and are equipped with picnic<br />

tables, grills, playground equipment and volleyball nets.<br />

(MG) SHERIFFS DISTRICT V<br />

SAFETY FORUM WITH RESIDENTS<br />

A HUGE “Thank you” goes out to all of the supporting officers for their time<br />

and patience with all our questions at the forum. This latest in the series<br />

was held at the <strong>Copperfield</strong> Community Center on May 29 th .<br />

This was an EXTREMELY informative meeting. The officers informed us<br />

of Online Reporting, Nuisance Abatement Program, statistics covering<br />

the entire District 5, along with how to navigate their website www.<br />

harriscountyso.org. Once you open the page, you will see 5 general services<br />

at the bot-tom, the one that was covered during this meeting was the Online<br />

Reporting. I encourage you to take a minute and visit the site. Remember,<br />

these are non-emergency issues; use 9-1-1 for all life threatening situations.<br />

This forum’s main topic was The Nuisance Abatement Program. Fortunately<br />

for those of us in <strong>Copperfield</strong> Middlegate, we have a management company<br />

that drives around and gives us warnings regarding such “nuisances.” This<br />

doesn’t mean that we should just ignore a neighbor who is bringing down<br />

the value of our homes, no, this is where you’d report: abandoned motor<br />

vehicles, junked vehicles and abandoned structure and properties.<br />

The officers also shared some very helpful tips to our residents:<br />

1. If you have guns, of course keep them locked up, however you should<br />

also engrave your driver’s licenses number for easy tracking if stolen. If you<br />

don’t engrave, take a picture with your smart phone. The picture number<br />

will serve as a tracking number if the officers find your product(s) at a local<br />

pawn shop, thrift shop, etc.<br />

2. It was also suggested to take pictures of your valuables once a year.<br />

Much easier to show an officer a picture of your valuable with any unique<br />

markings. The officers stated there was a MUCH great chance of getting<br />

your valuables back with these tips.<br />

3. Thieves have been targeting fitness centers lately. They suggested<br />

that before you leave your house heading to the fitness center, put your<br />

valuables in the trunk such as: purse, wallet, hand-gun (if you carry) and<br />

anything else of value. You don’t need these to drive, so don’t give the<br />

thieves an easy steal.<br />

4. The also shared that gas station “grab and runs” are happening again.<br />

Keep your doors locked and windows rolled up while pumping gas and<br />

never leave your keys in the ignition.<br />

5. Lastly, the topic of car break-ins around the neighborhood. They are still<br />

hearing lots of people who have had their laptop, diaper bag, leather bag,<br />

boxes, etc. stolen from their vehicle right out in front of their house. They<br />

also shared that too many times it was real easy for the thief because the<br />

doors were left unlocked. They suggested to clean out your vehicle and not<br />

give the thieves something potentially valuable to see through the window.<br />

This could cause them to break doors/windows/key locks and more just to<br />

get to your goodies! Don’t tease them, just keep your car empty and if you<br />

want, leave the doors unlocked (they said, not this reporter).<br />

We also wanted to give out an extra shout out to Sergeant Adam Lightfoot<br />

for overseeing the <strong>Copperfield</strong> contract deputies and providing monthly<br />

statistics on nextdoor. Having Sgt. Lightfoot in our neighborhood is a<br />

wonderful blessing.<br />

(SC) TRASH & RECYCLING PICKUP<br />

Southcreek trash pickup is on Tuesdays and Fridays. Southcreek has<br />

backdoor pickup. This means that our trashcans may be placed at the back<br />

of our driveway. We do not have to have our trashcans at the curb. Big items<br />

such as yard clippings and tree branches should be placed at the curb.<br />

Our deed restrictions state that all trash, including grass clippings, cannot<br />

be on the curb until 6 PM the night before pickup and your trashcans must<br />

be picked up from the curb by 6 PM, the day of pickup. So… you cannot<br />

have trash on the curb until Monday and Thursday nights until 6 PM and<br />

everything must be removed from the curb by 6 PM on Tuesdays and<br />

Fridays. This includes any bags that contain lawn clippings. If you have<br />

a lawn service, have them place the bags behind your fence and not<br />

leave the clippings on the curb.<br />

Our recycling day is Tuesday. Please have your recycling bin at the curb by<br />

7 AM on Tuesdays. Please pick up your recycling by 6 PM on Tuesdays to<br />

comply with our deed restrictions.<br />

WESTCREEK CRIME WATCH COMMITTEE<br />

Meetings - 3 rd Monday at 6 PM<br />

Forest Heights Pool Meeting Room<br />

For next meeting, contact lberger@comcast.net.<br />

CRIME WATCH TIPS<br />

The key to an effective crime watch program is to communicate - simply<br />

knowing your neighbors and talking. Always let a trusted neighbor know<br />

when you are on vacation or out of town for a long period. When you are<br />

away from home, these simple, preventative measures help prevent home<br />

burglaries: 1) always set your burglar alarm; 2) install keyed dead locks and<br />

don’t leave the key in the deadbolt lock; 3) install motion-sensor lights;<br />

4) don’t hide a spare key anywhere that can be easily discovered; 5) stop<br />

the mail or ask a friend to get it; 6) provide less hiding spaces for burglars<br />

by following the 3/6 rule where shrubs are trimmed in front of the house<br />

no higher than 3 feet from the ground and trim trees so that the lowest<br />

branches are at least 6 feet up; 7) lock up ladders and tools that could be<br />

used to break in; 8) leave a radio on turned to a talk show station; 9) put<br />

lamps on a timer; 10) turn down the phone’s ringer; 11) bolt down safes so<br />

they can’t be picked up and carried out; 12) hide valuables in a hollowed<br />

out book or a fake wall outlet and 13) consider placing safety film over<br />

windows near door handles to make glass hard to smash.<br />

BLOCK CAPTAINS & NATIONAL NIGHT OUT (NNO)<br />

Westcreek still needs block captains. If you want to know if your street<br />

has a block captain or you would like to volunteer to be a block captain,<br />

contact Larry Berger at lberger@comcast.net. Our crime watch committee<br />

is already planning the <strong>2018</strong> National Night Out, which occurs the first<br />

Tuesday in October. If you would like more information about NNO in<br />

Westcreek or you would be interested in hosting a gathering for NNO,<br />

please contact Larry Berger.<br />

WESTCREEK LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE<br />

Meetings - 2 nd Monday of every month at 6:30 PM<br />

Location - Forest Heights Pool Meeting Room<br />

The Westcreek Landscape Committee meets on the 2 nd Monday<br />

every month. If you are interested in helping make a difference in our<br />

neighborhood and would like to become part of the group, we welcome<br />

and encourage your attendance and hope to see you there - there is always<br />

room for you! No green thumb required!!<br />

Comments, suggestions or questions regarding common areas or other<br />

landscape topics are always welcome. Please contact Graham Management<br />

at 713-334-8000 - they will forward your message, request or information<br />

to the committee. A member will then get back with you to answer your<br />

questions or concerns.<br />

HURRICANE SEASON<br />

Hurricane season officially began on June 1 st and already there was a<br />

tropical depression near Florida! Don’t’ get caught unprepared in the event<br />

our area is in the path of Mother Nature’s fury! Plan accordingly:<br />

• Stock a 3 day supply of food and water. Minimum 1 gal of water per person<br />

per day.<br />

• Flashlight. Avoid using candles if power is lost.<br />

• Radio.<br />

• Extra batteries for the radio and flashlight.<br />

• Cell phone w/charger.<br />

• 7 day supply of any critical medications.<br />

• First aid kit.<br />

• Blankets.<br />

• Extra clothing readily available.<br />

• Baby supplies (diapers, formula) if you have infants in your family.<br />

• Set your refrigerator to the coldest setting possible. In the event of a power<br />

20<br />

failure, keep the doors closed as much as possible.<br />

• Create an evacuation plan for your family and establish a meeting place in<br />

case anyone is separated.<br />

• Keep your cars gas tank filled if a storm is reported anywhere in the gulf. A<br />

storm can be upon us with little warning.<br />

• Cash - ATM’s don’t work when the power is down.<br />

• Clear outdoor areas of any items that may turn into projectiles by high<br />

winds.<br />

• If the wind is blowing during a storm - stay indoors!<br />

• Turn off and secure any propane tanks you may have.<br />

• Keep windows and doors shut during any storm.<br />

• Stay off the porch during any storm. Lightning is frequent in our area and<br />

your porch, even though covered, does not offer full safety - you can still<br />

be struck!<br />

• Keep large trees trimmed. Allow the wind to blow through the trees by<br />

thinning the tree. Be sure large, low-hanging limbs are trimmed back or<br />

removed completely and not growing against your home, potentially<br />

damaging it.<br />

Additional hurricane preparedness information can be found at www.<br />

redcross.org.<br />

(WC) GARDENING TIPS<br />

It goes without saying - it is HOT outside! Stay cool and be sure to irrigate<br />

lawn and garden areas accordingly. Also be sure to keep your pets wellwatered<br />

and provide cool areas for them. When taking them for walks,<br />

remember the sidewalk WILL burn their little paws, so be careful!<br />

LAWN / GARDEN CARE<br />

• Water application for our lawns continues to be important - remember<br />

to water only in the early morning hours, before 10 AM as this will prevent<br />

fungus development you will appreciate not having to deal with in the<br />

latter weeks of summer and fall.<br />

• Re-sod bare, diseased or weak areas of your lawn now if you have not already done<br />

so - St. Augustine takes hold and produces rhizomes (horizontal roots or “runners”)<br />

which leads to a thicker turf now better than any other time.<br />

• Top-dressing with lawn soil and compost is acceptable, but beware of applying<br />

products with high manure content as this may cause burning upon contact. Water<br />

deeply.<br />

• Aerate gardens producing vegetables and herbs well to prevent soil caking our<br />

high clay content soil we have all been blessed with is prone to doing.<br />

• Keep an eye out for pests - especially fire ants and cinch bugs. Rains will bring out<br />

ant nests and see increased activity as colonies try to spread out. The excessive<br />

heat is ideal for cinch bugs to gain strength.<br />

• Lawn looking yellow? Could be chlorosis. Use a granular or liquid iron supplement,<br />

but be sure to clean off concrete areas to avoid stains to develop.<br />

• If you have blotch spots on your grass blade, the likely cause is Gray Leaf Spot. Use<br />

a fungicide that contains Daconil, Consan or Banner to cure this issue.<br />

• Summertime Flowers - high temperature, sun-loving flowers will do best from<br />

now until the end of August. Plant Black-eyed Susan, Russelia, Verbenas, Dianthis,<br />

Coreopsis, Daylily, Peony and Lantana as well as Asiatic lily or Salvia in direct<br />

sunlight areas. Impatiens (if you can still find them), Begonias and Rain Lily do well<br />

in the low light areas during the summer.<br />

TREES / PLANTS<br />

• Now is the time to feed Canary Island, Date, Mexican Fan, Sago and Queen Palm<br />

varieties. Fertilizer spikes that add magnesium, potassium and manganese are<br />

ideal as these are the most prevalent elements lacking to palms found in our area.<br />

• As mentioned earlier, keep large trees thinned out - allow high winds to pass<br />

through rather than block the wind during hurricane season.<br />

• Be sure to keep your home’s gutters clean and free in the event heavy rains<br />

are upon us. Clogged gutters cause siding and fascia to become discolored and<br />

ultimately rot. Such repairs are by no means cheap or easy to deal with.<br />

Be safe and enjoy the <strong>July</strong> 4 th holiday - many have sacrificed so that we can enjoy<br />

our freedom.<br />

MY LITTLE GRADUATE LEARNED SPANISH<br />

AT GIRASOL DUAL LANGUAGE PRESCHOOL<br />

At the beginning of June, sixteen Cypress area 5-year-olds walked across the stage of the chapel<br />

at West Houston Church of Christ as the very first graduating class of our only dual language<br />

preschool. Many of these students are now fearlessly bilingual following two years of Spanish<br />

immersion, STEM learning, having fun and making friends. Girasol Dual Language Preschool is<br />

a private, prekindergarten Spanish/English dual language immersion program for children ages<br />

3-5 both with and without any background in Spanish to learn language, science, social studies<br />

and social skills housed in the West Houston Church of Christ learning center.<br />

CYPRESS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL<br />

TRIPLE STATE CHAMPS <strong>2018</strong><br />

CCS won 3 state champion titles the 2017-<strong>2018</strong> school year,<br />

Football, Baseball and Boys Track and Field. This year CCS<br />

competed in TAPP’s Division III, 4A and will be moving to 5A for<br />

the <strong>2018</strong>-2019 season.<br />

In TAPPS State Speech, Paige’s four-year career of competing in Poetry, Prose, Solo<br />

Furthermore, Paige has accomplished all of this while being an RCS honors student,<br />

Drama Student of the Year three years in a row and a member of the National Honor<br />

Society, with a smile on her face and the love of Jesus in her heart, shining through to<br />

everyone who meets her. We are so proud of you, Paige! RCS loves you and we cannot<br />

wait to see how God uses all of your talents as you serve Him in the next stage of your<br />

journey. Congratulations!<br />

Marketing vs. Listing<br />

Don’t be fooled, a ‘For Sale’ sign in your front yard is not<br />

a marketing plan and neither is making sure your home is<br />

listed on HAR. The difference between listing a home and<br />

marketing a home is critical to the overall success of selling it.<br />

As a successful real estate agent, I specialize in real<br />

estate marketing and will create a comprehensive<br />

customized plan with you to showcase your home.<br />

Please feel free to call or email me anytime with questions.<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA -<br />

COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant<br />

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />

that allow them to:<br />

• Try new things.<br />

• Provide service to others.<br />

• Build self-confidence.<br />

• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals<br />

while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility and high selfesteem.<br />

As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure<br />

can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />

through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help<br />

our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area<br />

Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />

to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing<br />

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

Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools including:<br />

Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley, Horne, Jowell,<br />

Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan, Tipps, Walker and<br />

In the aftermath of Harvey, the arrival of Houston’s first hurricane season will<br />

undoubtedly stoke some trepidation from Houstonians still reeling from last<br />

year’s unprecedented storm, but there’s no reason to panic if you have a proper<br />

plan in place.<br />

While June 1 st marks the official start of Hurricane Season, the Gulf of Mexico has<br />

already seen its first named storm, Subtropical Storm Alberto, which made landfall<br />

on the Florida coast, dumping rain and wreaking havoc across the country.<br />

Predicting a Higher-than-Average Number of Named Storms<br />

It’s notoriously difficult to predict how active a hurricane season may be, but<br />

forecasters have already warned that the U.S. could expect to see a higherthan-average<br />

number of named storms and hurricanes this year.<br />

When Harvey swamped Greater Houston last year - flooding homes and forcing<br />

many to flee - many residents who were new to the region hadn’t experienced<br />

a storm before and were unprepared for what happened. Even some who had<br />

weathered Houston’s hurricanes and floods in the past were caught flat-footed<br />

by the extreme, widespread flooding caused by a storm of epic proportions.<br />

As the tropics begin to warm again, experts are urging residents to heed the<br />

lessons learned last year and get prepared now before any potential storm<br />

appears in the Gulf.<br />

TOP SEVEN THINGS YOU SHOULD DO NOW TO GET READY<br />

Assemble a kit. Along with non-perishable food and water (one gallon<br />

per person per day), toss in a flashlight, some spare batteries, cash, first aid<br />

supplies and copies of important paperwork - insurance policies, emergency<br />

contacts and prescriptions - in case you need to grab it and go. As many people<br />

discovered during Harvey, exposure to contaminated floodwater can lead to<br />

skin infections and other injuries. Consider packing protective gear such as<br />

waterproof pants and boots to protect from floodwater and protective masks<br />

to filter the air.<br />

Heed your medical needs. If you have a chronic condition - or you serve as<br />

a caregiver for someone with special medical conditions - be sure to have a<br />

plan in place for managing your health during a storm. Keep a checklist of<br />

medications that should be packed in an emergency and make sure you store<br />

them in a sealed bag so that they remain clean and dry. Remember that some<br />

medications, like insulin, are sensitive to temperature and must remain cool at<br />

all times. Make sure you include your physician’s information, too, in case you<br />

need to phone in for a refill from afar. Have a backup plan to power your medical<br />

devices should the electrical grid fail. If you rely on a device for lifesaving care,<br />

consider notifying the local public health authority to get evacuation assistance.<br />

Buy now. Don’t wait for the frenzied supermarket rush to stock up on the<br />

items you need in case you lose electricity or water or are forced to evacuate.<br />

Consider purchasing enough supplies to last five to seven days. Harvey’s floods<br />

prevented many people from leaving their homes for five days or longer, so it’s<br />

important to have enough food, medicine and water to sustain you and your<br />

family until roads reopen. Remember to keep your fuel tanks filled in your<br />

vehicles and home generators.<br />

Know where to go. Do you live in an evacuation zone? Most people sheltered<br />

in place during Harvey, but if another storm threatens the region, a voluntary or<br />

mandatory evacuation may be ordered. Get familiar with the local evacuation<br />

routes and have a plan in place for what to pack and how to meet up with family<br />

members.<br />

Stay informed. Sign up for emergency alerts from your local county, city,<br />

school district and other authorities. If you know you will not have access to<br />

transportation, register now for assistance by calling 211. You can view power<br />

outages and sign up for power outage alerts here. More information about<br />

emergency alerts can be found at readyhouston.gov.<br />

Talk to your family. Strike up a conversation with members of your household<br />

before disaster strikes. Discuss responsibilities for each family member and<br />

decide how you will communicate with each other. Figure out any special needs<br />

that must be addressed beforehand. Make a plan for pets and childcare.<br />
