Neighborhood News<br />

Upcoming Events:<br />

Our next event will be National Night Out on Tuesday,<br />

October 2 nd at the Charles Austin park.<br />

Also, our semi-annual community garage sale is scheduled<br />

for Saturday, October 6 th . We will all hope for no rain this<br />

time!<br />

Our events will be announced on our new Facebook page,<br />

so please like the page today!<br />

Flags:<br />

The HOA has decided to support a local Boy Scouts troop<br />

and the Cy-Falls High School Band by purchasing a flag<br />

subscription. You will see flags flown at our entrances during<br />

these national holidays: Memorial Day, Independence Day,<br />

Labor Day, Veteran’s Day and President’s Day. Hope you all<br />

enjoy this extra act of patriotism and charity for our local<br />

kids!<br />

If you are interested in having flags placed (and taken down)<br />

in your yard by either of these local groups, please see the<br />

information below:<br />

Hi, my name is Alex Garcia. I am 11-years-old and I am a boy<br />

scout in Troop 277. I live in the <strong>Copperbrook</strong> Community.<br />

I am selling flag subscriptions for a yearly fee of $50. With<br />

this subscription, I will place a United States Flag on your<br />

lawn for Memorial Day (May 28 th ); Independence Day (July<br />

4 th ); Labor Day (September 3 rd ); Veteran’s Day (November<br />

11 th ) and President’s Day (February 18 th ). The flag is 3’ x<br />

5’ on a pole standing approximately 8’ tall. Thank you for<br />

your support in helping me achieve my goal of becoming<br />

an Eagle Scout. If you would like to subscribe or would like<br />

more information, you may call or send a text to 832-689-<br />

9454 or send an email to Emailthegarciafamily@gmail.com.<br />

Or The Cy-Falls Band has a program where that will place an<br />

American flag in your yard 6 times a year, on major holidays<br />

(for about 72 hours) for display. The flags are put up and<br />

taken down by band members as part of service hours.<br />

Please see the website www.cypressfallsband.org/bandboosters/flags-%20with-pride.<br />

Payments:<br />

The HOA is working with the management company to<br />

create a system where homeowners can pay their due or<br />

fees over the phone with a credit card (convenience fee will<br />

apply). We know the online payment system has caused<br />

some frustration for some homeowners and we are trying<br />

to remedy this. Please stay tuned for updates!<br />

4<br />

Pool:<br />

Pool hours are Tuesday-Sunday 6 AM-10 PM. These hours<br />

will be enforced. There are cameras at the pool and officers<br />

will be sent out if necessary. Remember, no smoking,<br />

cussing, rough housing, pets, unaccompanied children<br />

under 14 at the pool. The rules are posted at the pool for<br />

your reference. Our pool contractor has informed us that he<br />

will be giving the pool a heavy dose of chlorine/chemicals<br />

on Friday mornings in order to support the weekend<br />

crowds. We suggest that you DO NOT swim before 9 AM on<br />

Fridays in order to avoid any skin irritation. Thank you for<br />

your cooperation in this matter. You MUST be current on<br />

your HOA dues or be on a payment plan to gain access to<br />

the pool. As of now, all of the opportunities to get your pool<br />

cards/bands have passed. You will need an activated pool<br />

access card, pool wristbands and a signed waiver to swim<br />

this year. If you still need these items, you will need to call<br />

TxMgmt at 832-910-7525 for assistance. There will be a $20<br />

convenience fee for the management company to get you an<br />

activated pool card. You should be able to pay this fee over<br />

the phone with a credit card. You will need to turn in your<br />

old access card to a TxMgmt employee or pay a $10 charge<br />

for a new card. You can pick up your card from TxMgmt in<br />

The Woodlands or wait for delivery (could be up to 2 weeks).<br />

You will need to sign paperwork and give them your old card<br />

in order to get an activated card and <strong>2018</strong> bands. If you are<br />

a new renter to the community, please call TxMgmt at 832-<br />

910-7525 to fill out a Renter’s Information Form so that you<br />

will be in the system and able to get pool cards/bands.<br />

Yard Of The Season:<br />

<strong>Copperbrook</strong> is happy to announce we will be awarding<br />

trophies 4 times throughout the year now! Best Spring yard<br />

will be judged on April 15 th or later. Best Summer yard will<br />

be judged on July 15 th or later. Best Halloween yard will be<br />

judged on October 31 st and best Christmas yard will be<br />

judged on December 25 th . So, keep those yards looking<br />

great so you can earn bragging rights! We will recognize<br />

the homes on our Facebook page too, www.facebook.com/<br />

<strong>Copperbrook</strong>HOA, so be sure to like it today!<br />

Alarm Permits:<br />

Our contracted officers have asked that we remind our<br />

residents that it is a requirement by Harris County that you<br />

register your alarm system with the County. It is $35 to get<br />

a new permit and $10 to renew it each year. The fees are<br />

waived if you are over 65, but you must still register your<br />

alarm. Residents face a $75 false alarm fee if officers respond<br />

to your alarm and it isn’t registered. You can get details about<br />

registering your alarm here: www.hcsoalarmpermit.com.<br />

<strong>August</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Copperbrook</strong>


Crime Alert:<br />

Residents need to know that there has been a marked<br />

increase in crime in our community and surrounding areas,<br />

including recent car burglaries and a burglary/assault in<br />

March <strong>2018</strong>. Harris County MUD 130 pays for the contract<br />

officers for our community. They are being extra vigilant<br />

and are aware of the increase in activity in recent months.<br />

<strong>Copperbrook</strong> appreciates our officer’s efforts, but we as<br />

residents MUST do our part as well. Upon speaking to one<br />

of our contract deputies at the December Board meeting,<br />

he indicated that the flood lights above the garage that are<br />

motion activated, are a great deterrent and a great way<br />

to alert officers to movement when they are making their<br />

rounds at night. We would like to encourage neighbors to<br />

protect each other’s lives and property by watching for and<br />

reporting suspicious activities... the residents become the<br />

“eyes” of the patrolling deputies. If you see something, SAY<br />

something! The object is to prevent a crime from happening<br />

by having a deputy check out even the slightest irregularity<br />

in your street’s normal routine. Our deputies would prefer<br />

to spend 10 minutes checking out a call rather than follow<br />

up on a crime that has already been committed. Please<br />

don’t hesitate to call 911 when you see anything suspicious.<br />

And PLEASE lock your cars and remove all valuables! If you<br />

would like to learn more about crime in the area, visit www.<br />

crimereports.com for information.<br />

Community Updates:<br />

Hopefully you all have noticed that the landscaping at the<br />

entrances has been completely updated and refreshed after<br />

the harsh winter. The HOA also had the trees along West<br />

Road between our entrances trimmed. We have also worked<br />

hard to get the electrical fixed and ensure that the lights are<br />

now working at the community parking lot to ensure safety<br />

for our residents. The pool area has been power washed<br />

and treated for pests so all can enjoy the pool this summer.<br />

Your HOA dues are hard at work to keep our community<br />

looking great and safe!<br />

Violation/Past Due letters:<br />

Simply stated, if you get a violation letter or you are past<br />

due in your HOA dues, PLEASE call the TXMGMT at 832-910-<br />

7525 to discuss a payment plan or get an extension on a<br />

needed repair to your property. The management company<br />

and Board of Directors are not unreasonable and will make<br />

every reasonable effort to work with residents if you will<br />

make an effort on your part to either initiate the repairs or<br />

pay the fines, whichever the case. Communication is simple<br />

and vital to keeping the issue from escalating. The Board<br />

of Directors along with TXMGMT plan to be consistent and<br />

proactive in keeping our community looking great, feeling<br />

safe and making sure dues and fines are collected in a timely<br />

manner and homes and yards are kept up to a standard to<br />

which we can all be proud.<br />

If you need a copy of the deed restrictions, please email<br />

copperbrookhoa@gmail.com and we will send you a copy.<br />

<strong>Copperbrook</strong> HOA would like to welcome all homeowners<br />

to come to our monthly meetings at La Madeleine the first<br />

Tuesday of every month at 5 PM. The open session where we<br />

meeting room is closed, simply knock and the Board will let<br />

6<br />

you in. Please come share your ideas and learn of the progress<br />

on the latest projects and events in our neighborhood.<br />

It’s a great way to get involved and stay connected to your<br />

community. If you know ahead of time that you will attend or<br />

you have a particular concern that you would like added to<br />

the agenda, please call Juan at TXMGMT (832-910-7525).<br />

Renovations<br />

We are aware that on occasion homeowners receive letters from<br />

the management company that are considered unwarranted<br />

by the homeowner. If you plan to do a small renovation or do<br />

major cleaning and you know that you may have something<br />

unsightly in your driveway/front yard for a short period of time,<br />

please call TXMGMT (832-910-7525) and make them aware of<br />

your activities so that she can make a note on your account<br />

in order to avoid a letter being sent out. If you are planning<br />

a major renovation to the exterior of your home by painting<br />

your house, replacing your fence or adding storage to your<br />

yard, remember to contact our neighborhood’s Architectural<br />

Review Committee. You can call TXMGMT (our management<br />

company) to inquire about the proper forms needed to make<br />

your submission and they will gladly email the forms to you.<br />

We hope to have these forms available for download on the<br />

community website soon. The Architectural Review Committee<br />

will review the request to make sure the request meets the<br />

neighborhoods deed restrictions. The committee’s approval<br />

must be granted before making such changes to the facades<br />

of the home such as paint colors, roof colors and burglar bars<br />

(which are prohibited on the front doors or any windows). Also,<br />

sheds and canopies should not be visible from the street. If<br />

you submit a request to the Architectural Review Committee<br />

and it gets denied, please call TXMGMT (our management<br />

company) to inquire as to why your project was denied. It may<br />

be as simple as additional information is needed (ex: paint<br />

color, pictures, lot survey). If you are thinking about a project<br />

you are invited to attend the monthly HOA meeting to get any<br />

questions answered prior to submission. If you need a copy of<br />

the deed restrictions, please email copperbrookhoa@gmail.<br />

com and we will send you a copy.<br />

Safety<br />

Park and Pool Safety:<br />

Parents please accompany all children to the park and pool<br />

for their safety. The playground opens at sunrise and closes<br />

at sundown. Please call 911 if you see any suspicious activity,<br />

persons or vehicles. This area is monitored by surveillance<br />

cameras, however as homeowners, we need to assist the<br />

police and play an active role in keeping our community safe!<br />

Neighborhood Safety:<br />

PLEASE lock your doors and remove all valuables so that<br />

there is little temptation and hopefully nothing taken if they<br />

do break in your vehicle. There have also been reports of<br />

crimes at the new park (Charles Austin Park) and so we urge<br />

you to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Please<br />

be alert to things such as unknown cars idling, circling the<br />

neighborhood, increased traffic at a particular home and<br />

<strong>August</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Copperbrook</strong>


driving slowly as if to stall for time. If you see this behavior,<br />

please call 911 and report the suspicious activity. It would be<br />

helpful if you could provide any of the following information<br />

to the 911 operator or sheriff’s department when you call:<br />

description of the vehicle, person(s), time of day and/or<br />

license plate number. Please be discrete and keep in mind<br />

safety is priority. Also, if you notice a lot of traffic and multiple<br />

vehicles coming and going from a location please call the<br />

sheriff’s office and inform them of the high traffic volume of<br />

that location. It takes a community effort to keep a community<br />

safe. The HOA is cooperating with the local law enforcement<br />

in keeping this a safe community for our families.<br />

Surveillance Cameras:<br />

Surveillance cameras are installed at the pool house. The<br />

cameras are positioned to monitor the pool areas, the park<br />

grounds and the parking lot. HOA Board members have 24-hour<br />

access to view the ongoing activities of these areas. All suspicious<br />

activities will be reported to the Sheriff’s Office immediately.<br />

Committee Information<br />

If you’re thinking about getting more involved in our<br />

community, joining a committee is a great start! Feel<br />

free to attend a monthly meeting to learn more about<br />

these opportunities. The <strong>Copperbrook</strong> HOA is looking for<br />

volunteers for the following committees:<br />

EVENTS COMMITTEE:<br />

The events committee oversees the newly organized<br />

welcoming committee, which will be providing welcome<br />

baskets to new homeowners. The event committee<br />

is also responsible for decorating the monuments at<br />

Christmastime organizing the bi-annual garage sales and<br />

hosting the neighborhood events such as National Night<br />

Out and Snow Day at the Park.<br />

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH COMMITTEE:<br />

The <strong>Copperbrook</strong> neighborhood watch committee NEEDS<br />

volunteers who are willing to drive around at different time<br />

to help keep an eye on things. The HOA would like to add<br />

more volunteers to provide greater coverage throughout<br />

the 24 hour day. If you would like to volunteer, please call<br />

Milton Turner at 281-859-6044. We could really use more<br />

patrols from 10 PM to 6 AM. Volunteers can select their<br />

time and will be requested to drive down each street and<br />

report any suspicious activity to the police and to inform<br />

the neighborhood watch committee chair of any activity<br />

observed. You will be issued a decal to place on your vehicle<br />

so as to identify you as part of the Crime Watch if requested.<br />

Dr. Mark Henry, superintendent of schools<br />

for Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, has been named<br />

the <strong>2018</strong> Region 4 Superintendent of the<br />

Year and will serve as the region’s nominee<br />

for the Texas Superintendent of the Year<br />

program, sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB).<br />

The Texas Superintendent of the Year will be announced at the <strong>2018</strong><br />

TASA/TASB Convention, to be held Sept. 28-30, <strong>2018</strong> in Austin.<br />

Dr. Henry was nominated by the CFISD Board of Trustees in recognition<br />

of his outstanding and visionary leadership toward improving student<br />

performance in CFISD, which is the third-largest district in Texas.<br />

During his seven-year tenure, CFISD has earned recognition and praise<br />

for its academics, college and career readiness programs, community<br />

engagement, fiscal management and athletics.<br />

Dr. Henry has been praised by the CFISD Board of Trustees for his<br />

servant leadership, which included being an integral part of obtaining<br />

and guiding resources to assist the CFISD community during and after<br />

Hurricane Harvey. Under his leadership, the district served as a point of<br />

safety and relief to many impacted by the devastating event.<br />

Dr. Henry’s vision is the tenet of CFISD’s goal to provide the best possible<br />

education and service to all students in the district, with his commitment<br />

to excellence seen in various CFISD accomplishments, which include:<br />

100 percent of the district’s campuses earning a “Met Standard”<br />

rating for five consecutive years since 2012; ranking No. 1 for financial<br />

performance for seven consecutive years among the 200 largest districts<br />

in Texas by the Education Resource Group; receiving a five-star rating<br />

from TXSmartSchools for academic progress and cost-effective financial<br />

8<br />

management for seven consecutive years; successful passing of a $1.21<br />

billion bond referendum, the largest such election in district history;<br />

creation of the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD police department; fostering<br />

community partnerships that have brought the district $14 million in<br />

school donations last year and developing successful academic programs<br />

for students needing additional assistance in math and reading.<br />

“Dr. Mark Henry is well respected by his colleagues, staff and community<br />

and serves as a courageous voice for students and for public education,”<br />

said Dr. Pam Wells, Region 4 Education Service Center executive director.<br />

“The district’s successes reflect his personal and passionate belief that<br />

the mission of public schools is to provide equality of opportunity for all<br />

students. We congratulate Dr. Henry for this well-deserved recognition and<br />

wish him the best in his nomination for Texas Superintendent of the Year.”<br />

A Message From The Cfisd<br />

Superintendent<br />

Dear Parents & Guardians,<br />

As promised in a message I sent toward the end of the school year, our<br />

district safety and security committee has already begun meeting to plan<br />

for the <strong>2018</strong>-2019 school year.<br />

In an effort to improve the safety measures currently in place, one of the<br />

decisions that came out of our meetings is to require all high school and<br />

middle school students to use clear backpacks beginning in the fall.<br />

Band and athletic bags, as well as drill and cheer team bags, will still be<br />

permitted.<br />

Additionally, the maximum purse size permitted in grades 6-12 will be<br />

6” x 9.”<br />

Elementary school students will be allowed to continue using traditional<br />

backpacks.<br />

Listed below are the details about these new policies and can also be<br />

found on a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page on our district website.<br />

We are living in a difficult time requiring difficult decisions from school<br />

community as soon as possible.<br />

Through <strong>August</strong> 26 th - “The Faces of Syrian Refugees,” by photographer<br />

Michael S Cohen, consists of life sized color portraits accompanied by Proust<br />

questionnaire style interviews, offering an intimate visit with 20 Syrian<br />

refugees. The exhibition will also include a special feature of Houston-area<br />

Holocaust survivors Naomi Warren, Lea Weems, Ruth Steinfeld, Anna and<br />

Emil Steinberger, Bill Orlin and Renee Danziger, who thrived after being<br />

one-time refugees in America. After a 25-year hiatus, Cohen worked with a<br />

dozen non-profits in fields ranging from education, to felon rehabilitation<br />

in inner city youth. During this time, he watched with horror as a Syrian<br />

war escalated and the refugee crisis reached unimaginable proportions.<br />

An idea formed to travel and meet successfully resettled Syrian refugees,<br />

photograph and interview them. Since the war began in 2011, millions<br />

of Syrians have been displaced from their homes, and their country. The<br />

subjects come from all walks of life and now are engaged in everything from<br />

teaching art classes to volunteering as museum docents to conducting a<br />

Syrian expat orchestra. During the atrocities of WWII, Holocaust survivors<br />

were uprooted from their homelands and resettled in other countries. More<br />

than one half of all European Jews perished by the end of WWII; many who<br />

survived picked up the pieces of their shattered lives and moved forward. A<br />

special feature will be included in this exhibition depicting the images and<br />

stories of several local Holocaust survivors upon their arrival in Houston<br />

prior to 1955 and how they worked hard to achieve the American dream.<br />

The exhibition is on view through Sunday, <strong>August</strong> 26, <strong>2018</strong>, in the Mincberg<br />

Gallery. This exhibition is traveled by Art2Art Circulating Exhibitions.<br />

3 cups chocolate ice cream, softened<br />

cream. Freeze for 30 minutes or until semi-firm.<br />

Gardening Tips<br />

for <strong>August</strong><br />

• Time now to make plans for fall<br />

landscaping projects.<br />

• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage,<br />

yellowed leaves and dead wood. Light<br />

green leaves may signify lack of iron<br />

(chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates.<br />

• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch<br />

in a little bone meal around the roots.<br />

• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants<br />

for fall growth.<br />

• Wait until November to plant petunias<br />

and pansies.<br />

• Chinch bug damage is obvious now.<br />

You will have areas of thin and/or dead<br />

turf where they weren’t brought under<br />

control. There is a new generation going<br />

now. This batch causes the most damage.<br />

Use Dursban to stop the damage.<br />

• Until the weather gets back to the 80’s, St.<br />

<strong>August</strong>ine grass grows slowly. If you fill in<br />

with sod, don’t expect a fast turnaround.<br />

The sod may look like it’s not growing<br />

while it puts down roots. You will need to<br />

water the new sod often and deeply to get<br />

it started but this also creates a disease<br />

environment. Water early so the sun can<br />

dry the turf.<br />

• Now is a good time to work new beds. Till<br />

them up, add organic material, mix it in,<br />

then let them cure for a month or so. Add<br />

in any amendments like micro-nutrients.<br />

Keep the beds moist so the microorganisms<br />

have a favorable environment.<br />
