BE SURE ADDRESS IS CLEAR FROM THE STREET 

County officials want to remind residents of the Ordinance 5.3 requiring 

that addresses or building numbers be legible and visible from the 

street. The section states the numbers must be in Arabic numerals at 

least four inches in height and clearly visible. The number should be 

placed on, above or at the side of the main entrance so the number is 

clearly visible from the public right away. Whenever a home entrance 

is more than 50 feet from a public right away, a number should also be 

placed at the end of a driveway or property entrance. 

CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE!

All the details about the clubhouse along with the calendar of availability 

for the rental can be found on the website under the Clubhouse

resident to rent it. If the website doesn’t answer all your questions, 

please feel free to contact the clubhouse manager, Amber at 281-550- 

7996, she will be more than happy to help you with your questions! 

EXTERIOR MODIFICATIONS 

Are you planning to make repairs and upgrades to the exterior of your 

home including the landscaping? Please don’t forget to submit your 

ACC application before making any changes to the exterior of your 

home or property. The ACC Committee processes the applications as 

quickly as possible. Supplying the specifications of your improvement, 

a lot survey indicating the location of the modification, and a sample 

or detailed list of materials to be used will also help speed up this 

process. If you need an application, please contact Michelle Villegas 

at mvillegas@spectruman.com or 281-343-9178. 

Protect One of Your Most Valuable Investments By 

Developing a Consistent Maintenance Schedule 

By doing some simple preventative maintenance, you can extend the 

life of your home and minimize costly repairs. 

Painting: It is important to put a good coat of paint on your home 

which may mean painting every three to five years on an average, 

depending on the quality of the paint. Painting obviously improves the 

appearance of your home and protects your wood or hardiplank from 

the elements reducing rot. Don’t forget your ACC application along 

with paint color samples, which must be processed and approved first! 

Power washing: Take a walk around your property. If you see green 

or black mildew on your home and driveway, you can power wash 

the mildew off your gutters, home exterior, driveway and sidewalk. 

This small step of maintenance can keep your property looking well 

maintained. 

Gutters: Gutters need to be cleaned out on a regular basis. This time 

of year they fill up with pine needles and leaves. If the gutters are 

full of leaves and pine needles, they will not drain properly and will 

need to be cleaned. The extra weight will cause the gutter nails to 

become loose and the gutter will sag or fall from your home. Gutters 

are important as they protect the fascia boards. 

Landscaping: Trees, shrubs and seasonal flowers add a great deal to 

the value of your home and the community. Remember that over time 

trees and shrubs can become overgrown and unsightly. Please keep 

your landscaping well trimmed and yard edged so that it enhances 

your home and does not interfere with the street. 

DEED YOU KNOW… 

All trash containers are to be kept out of public view on non-trash 

days. This means they cannot be kept on the sides on your homes, 

behind a bush, on the front porch or in front of the garage. If the trash 

containers are viewed, you will begin receiving violation letters in the 

very near future.

HISTORY, ACTIVITIES AND GIFT IDEAS 

Grandparents Day is always celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day. 

Take the time to honor your grandparents with these ideas! 

WHY DO WE CELEBRATE GRANDPARENTS DAY? 

History of Grandparents Day: Marian McQuade hoped to establish a national day that 

would honor grandparents and in 1970 she began a campaign to do so. McQuade raised 

awareness about senior citizens throughout the 1970s. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter 

declared the first Sunday after Labor Day to be National Grandparents Day. Each year, 

the president issues a proclamation to keep the tradition going. 

Grandparents Day has both an official flower and song. The official flower is the forgetme-not, 

and the song is Johnny Prill’s “A Song for Grandma and Grandpa.” Both were 

chosen by the National Grandparents Day Council. 

GRANDPARENTS DAY ACTIVITIES AND GIFTS 

Let’s appreciate all the joy and wisdom that grandparents bring to our lives! 

Many schools celebrate Grandparents Day with special activities or assemblies. 

Students often invite their grandparents into the schools for a day and the 

children find creative ways to celebrate their grandparents. Some towns will 

also hold special events for Grandparents Day. 

Most grandparents don’t care what activity they do-they just want to spend time with 

their grandchildren. Maybe ask your grandparents to show you one of their favorite 

hobbies. Many National Parks hold special Grandparents Day events and it can be fun 

to spend time with your grandparents exploring nature. If your grandparent would 

prefer a calm day, ask them to show you their favorite movie. No matter what, the best 

Grandparents Day activity involves you and your grandparents together, celebrating 

your family and each other. 

Some families get cards or gifts for the grandparents on Grandparents Day. 

Most grandparents would say that a handwritten card is the perfect gift. 

Another great gift is simply to take your grandparents somewhere fun. Maybe your 

grandfather loves baseball, so you can get him tickets to see his favorite team with 

you. Let your grandparents teach you a skill, like how to fish. Or, perhaps it would be 

fun to make arts and crafts together. 

Maybe you can bring them some treats, like Grandpa’s Banana Bread or Grandmother’s 

Blueberry Cake, both made by talented grandparents. Or, try making one 

of the dishes that your grandparents usually make for you. 

On Grandparents Day, it really is the thought that counts-just make sure your 

grandparents know that you’re thinking of them. 

What’s your favorite way to celebrate Grandparents Day? Let us know below, 

and happy Grandparents Day!

MAILBOX TAMPERING 

When a mailbox is put into use for the purposes of sending and receiving 

mail, it becomes federal property. 

Mailbox tampering is considered any act that interferes with another 

person’s letter box or other receptacle. This can include: 

• destruction of the mailbox itself 

• theft of mailbox contents 

• the placement of items in a mail receptacle by persons 

other than postal employees 

• any action intended to obstruct or damage mail or mailbox property

should NOT touch a mailbox or its contents. 

BE AWARE OF THEFT POTENTIAL 

Many of us have a habit of leaving the garage door open when we are 

working or relaxing in the backyard. Unfortunately, people in virtually 

every neighborhood lose property to opportunistic thieves this way 

every year. Bicycles and power tools are just a few of the commonly 

stolen things and keep in mind that it only takes a matter of seconds 

for something of significant value to “walk away.” Please keep those 

doors down when you are not in eyesight of the garage. 

HARRIS COUNTY ALARM DETAIL 

In order to increase compliance and spread awareness, our office is 

requesting your assistance in informing residents in your community 

through your HOA newsletter or your scheduled HOA meetings of the need 

to obtain a permit for operating an alarm system, residential or business, 

within unincorporated Harris County. Many residents and businesses are 

unaware of the requirement to obtain an alarm permit once an alarm 

system has been installed and activated by the alarm company. Alarm 

systems are established and defined in the Local Government Code 233 

(subchapter D), as well as the authority to regulate, adopt rules and impose 

penalties for unpermitted locations. Obtaining the required permit 

will avoid the issuance of a citation and excessive false alarm fees. The 

fee for current permit issuance is $35 with a yearly renewal fee of $10. All 

permit fees are waived for senior citizens 65 years or older. Under current 

guidelines, a permitted location is allowed five (5) free false alarms annually. 

Any subsequent false alarms during your permitted year are subject 

to a $75 fine that is billed to the permit holder’s address. If a site has an 

active alarm system, yet does not have a permit to operate such alarm, a 

false alarm may result in a Class C citation, which could range up to $500. 

Should you require a copy of the permit application form or would like 

to review the regulations regarding permit requirements, you maydo so 

by visiting the Harris County Sheriff’s Office website at www. hcso.hctx./ 

net. The application can be printed from the website, then completed 

and mailed to our office with the applicable fees. We are currently in 

the planning stages of making the application and payment process 

available on-line for the convenience to the public. Should you have 

any questions, please contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Alarm 

Detail at 713-755-4600 M-F, 8 AM - 5 PM. 

PET ID TAGS 

Folks - as soon as the vet gives your young pets their Rabies shot remember 

to get their ID tags. The Rabies tag lists the name, phone number and address 

of the vet. So! All you need to do is put the Rabies tag onto the pet’s 

collar and leave it there all the time. That way, if the pet gets loose, anyone 

finding him or her can look at the tag to see the vet’s phone number and 

call to report the lost animal. Better yet, add another tag to your pet’s collar 

that lists the dog or cat’s name and your own phone number or address. You 

can get these from any pet store. When a pet has these but goes astray, 

anyone finding it can call you and you can go get him or her right away.

SCOOP YOUR PET’S POOP 

Please remember to be respectful of your neighbors’ yards and the 

community grounds. When you take your pet for a walk, come prepared 

with a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. If your pet 

poops during your walk, please scoop and trash. It may not be the most 

fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show that you respect your 

fellow neighbors’ and our beautiful community. 

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. 

To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly 

restrained please contact:

Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects. 

• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood. Light green leaves 

may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates. 

• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around the roots. 

• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. Follow up with a dose of fertilizer 

the first week of September. 

• Plants come out of summer rest and go crazy. Insect populations explode as we get into 

cooler temperatures. Diseases that have been dormant wake up. 

- Citrus, croton, avocado and mango are susceptible to spider mites and thrips. Discourage 

them with a strong jet of water from a hose directed to the undersides of the leaves. 

- Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and ixora are susceptible to scale and mealybug. 

• Winter vegetable gardens and perennials get planted. 

• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies. 

• Fire ants baits should be put out in September-October to lessen the number of eggs 

that make it to Spring. 

• St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer during September. Continue to mow at maximum 

height. You want to leave a lot of leaf surface to produce carbohydrate reserves for 

the winter. 

• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign of them is grass that appears to stop growing. 

You need to get them early for biological controls to work. When the caterpillars are only 1/4 

inch, Bacillus thuringiensis applications can slow them. Bt is a bacteria that works on the caterpillars’ 

digestive systems and makes them stop feeding. Do the application late in the day. 

The larvae feed at night and you want them to get nice fresh Bt. 

• When the heat and drought end, the weather could bring brown patch disease in the St. 

Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish spots if the nights drop into the 60’s and days stay 

in the 80’s. 

• Get any pruning of hedges and such done now. You want the flush of new growth to be 

hardened-off before the end of October. Tree pruning should be put off until winter, when 

the trees are dormant. 

• Pre-emerge herbicide applications targeting annual bluegrass and the earlier-germinating 

winter broadleaf weeds needed to be put out starting in mid-August.

CFISD BRINGS SAFETY AND SECURITY TO 

FOREFRONT WITH 2018-2019 ACTION PLAN 

Following a summer of planning, the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD safety 

and security committee unveiled its 2018-2019 Safety and Security 

Action Plan at the Board of Trustees committee-of-the-whole meeting 

on Aug. 9 th . 

Comprised of representatives of the CFISD leadership team, the committee 

hosted a series of meetings throughout June and July to review 

current security initiatives that are already in place as well as explore 

what additional layers could be implemented for the district this year. 

Featuring roundtable discussions with experts as well as input from 

all campus principals and the Community Leadership Committee, 

the meetings resulted in an action plan focused on prevention of, 

identification and intervention of and response to potential security 

threats during a time when the nationwide focus is on school safety. 

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s School and Firearm Safety Action Plan, released 

on May 30 th , was used by the committee as a baseline to review 

school safety and implement recommended strategies. 

The following summary of the safety and security committee’s action 

plan can be found in more detail on the district website under the 

“Safety for All” block: 


Air Conditioning Contractors of America 

PREVENTION 

The CFISD police department has increased its number of commissioned 

police officers from 86 in 2017 to 108 for 2018-2019. The department will 

also implement three K-9 units trained in narcotics and nitrate detection. 

Two police officers will transition into mental health officer positions to 

assist the guidance and counseling and psychological services departments 

in addressing mental health concerns on campuses. 

Safety and security upgrades funded by the 2014 Bond Program continue 

to roll out at campuses, including secured entry vestibules, bullet-resistant 

glass, additional security cameras and emergency call stations. Panic buttons 

will be installed in all portable buildings in 2018-2019. 

All students in grades 6-12 will be required to wear a student ID badge 

during the instructional day and will join elementary students in 

wearing the badges on board school buses. All school visitors will be 

distinguished by a visitor badge issued at check-in. 

Backpacks worn by secondary students on school property are required to 

be clear backpacks. Belongings carried inside or outside of the backpack 

are limited to no more than two non-transparent 6- by 9-inch purse(s) or 

similar bag(s). Approved extracurricular bags including instrument cases 

are permitted in the building but must be stored in respective areas during 

the instructional day. Visitors to Cy-Fair FCU and Pridgeon stadiums in 

2018-2019 will be required to limit bags to clear bags or a non-transparent 

6-by-9-inch purse or similar bag. 

All campuses will implement procedures for limiting entry points for 

faculty, students and visitors. The district will also continue to explore 

the possibility of identifying exit-only doors and removing door handles 

on certain doors. Food deliveries for students will be prohibited by fast 

food delivery drivers. 

IDENTIFICATION AND INTERVENTION 

Campuses will continue to advertise the Cy-Fair Tipline for students, an 

internal and anonymous reporting system. A visible button will be added 

to each campus website for easy sharing with the CFPD and campus administration. 

The CFPD will continue to work with the Houston Regional 

Intelligence Service Center to identify potential threats on social media. 

Two mental health intervention teams, each consisting of two licensed 

professional counselors, a licensed specialist in school psychology and 

a mental health school resource officer, have been developed to assist 

students, administration and parents in developing a positive and 

proactive plan for mental health. All teachers, counselors, district and 

campus administrators, transportation and community programs staff 

will undergo mental health assessment training prior to the start of the 

school year. All elementary and secondary counselors will be trained on 

completing threat assessment interviews. 

RESPONSE 

CFISD’s school safety and security committee will meet three times per 

year and provide updates and reports to the Board of Trustees twice a 

year. All campuses will continue to implement and practice emergency 

operations plans, based on a template provided by the Texas School 

Safety Center. All campus and district administrators will be trained in 

the Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method 

prior to the start of the school year.

SUICIDE RATES ARE CLIMBING - WHAT YOU CAN DO 

Nationally, suicides rates have risen 23% since 2000. Behind Alzheimer’s 

disease and drug overdoses, suicide is the fastest growing cause of 

death in the United States and is the second leading cause of death 

for ages 15-34. Within Texas, Montgomery County has seen the second 

highest increase in the state at 16%. Local non-profit Shield Bearer 

Counseling Centers wants you to know it can be prevented. 

If you have suicidal thoughts: 

1) Share your thoughts with someone - do not keep silent, 

there are other options 

2) Ask for help from a professional counselor - Shield Bearer has 

6 Houston area locations and is open for appointments from 

8 AM-8 PM M-F and 9 AM-5 PM on Saturdays 

3) Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK(8255) 

4) Chat online confidentially at suicidepreventionlifeline.org 

5) Call 911 - there are police teams specially trained with greater 

sensitivity to mental health issues who will respond and get 

help as quickly as possible 

If you wonder if someone you know is considering suicide: 

1) Call to check on them 

2) Schedule time with them 

3) Make sure they know you care 

If someone tells you that they are considering suicide: 

1) Listen and ask questions 

2) Get help immediately 

3) Don’t be silent! 

“If someone says they are considering suicide, this means that there is 

a part of them that doesn’t want to do it, but another part of them that 

feels completely hopeless and as if there is no other choice. Their pain is 

so overwhelming that they may believe death is the only escape - but this 

isn’t true. There are options and there is always hope with the right support 

and care,” states Shield Bearer Clinical Coordinator Allie Scott, LPC. 

For more information about Shield Bearer Counseling Centers, a 

non-profit organization dedicated to hope and healing for individuals, 

couples, and families, visit shieldbearer.org and follow them on 

Facebook. To make an appointment, call 281-894-7222.

HOW TO CELEBRATE READ A BOOK DAY 

Read a Book Day comes to us every September 6 th . It may seem strange 

to celebrate an activity that plenty of us enjoy many, if not most, days 

of the year. But it never hurts to indulge in something extra to make a 

cherished activity more enjoyable. You can read outside, enjoy a snack, 

reflect on what a favorite book means to you and more. Here are five 

ideas to celebrate Read a Book Day. 

Read Outside 

Read a Book Day fortunately coincides with a time of year that for much 

of the globe brings pleasant weather. Late summer often provides the 

right amount of sun and heat, begging a reader to bring books outside. 

Granted, that’s a bit difficult for those of us who have to spend prime 

daylight hours at work or in school, but you can always sneak some 

reading time in the early morning, late afternoon or evening. Take your 

book to the beach, an outdoor table, the porch or anywhere else that 

makes your day of reading a little more special. 

Enjoy a Book With Good Food (or a Drink) 

C.S. Lewis said that “Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine 

admirably.” We might take this as a cue for our own Read a Book Day 

celebration. There are some things to consider, though. I, for one, traditionally 

have trouble finding the right food to eat while reading (fruit like 

grapes and strawberries wet my fingers and the pages and large meals 

involving fork and knife make holding the book open unwieldy). But for 

Read a Book Day, I might put those past failures behind me. Baked goods 

like cookies and pastries make for great company, while coffee and tea 

are always enhancements to a good story. Heck, it’s the summer. You 

might even celebrate the day with a glass of wine or a special cocktail. 

Share a Quote or Reflection on Social Media 

Many a book goes unread because it gets lost in the noise. It can be 

hard to know what’s worth our attention in the dizzying selection of 

books we have available and one of the most important resources we 

have as readers is a good recommendation. You can celebrate reading 

by excerpting a favorite quote from a book and sharing it on Facebook 

or Twitter. If you want to go the extra mile, dress up a favorite title for 

a photo on Instagram and caption it with why it means something to 

you. Picking the right book intimidates more people than you think 

and you never know who you’re helping and who might add your 

recommendation to their reading list. 

Go Outside of Your Typical Selection Habits 

Some readers want to own their books and love bookstores. Some readers 

prefer the different selection and freedom of a library. Others prefer shopping 

online. All of these habits are great, but it can be rewarding to try something 

new. Does your community have a used bookstore? There’s a lot that might 

surprise you, especially if you’re used to going to Barnes & Noble. Do you 

like to shop online for books? There are plenty of places where you can get 

old, unusual, rare or interesting editions that the major vendors won’t have. 

Plus, it always pays to visit your local library. A little difference can go a long 

way in reminding you of the wide cultural world of books. 

Ask Someone for a Recommendation 

Celebrating books goes the other way, too. It’s always good to make 

something solitary, like reading, more social. A good way to do this is to 

reach out to someone who could give you a recommendation. People 

are always happy to share their favorite titles and it’s a nice way to 

reconnect with someone over books. After all, a book’s very purpose 

is to connect us better to the world in the first place.

NAVIGATING UNEASY RELATIONS 

Figuring out how to handle strained relationships 

is hard. Emotions can become tumultuous. 

Opinions can harden. How are we 

supposed to live out our faith? Loving others 

can seem disconcerting, confusing and just 

plain difficult. Sometimes we can even forget 

our Christian calling, simply dismissing or 

degrading those whom we consider “other.” 

You know, . . . THOSE People, THAT Person. 

How can we better handle these difficulties? 

In this journey, we will gain new insights into 

the challenges of dealing with differences between 

people. Plus, 12 principles will emerge 

about loving God, others and self. Besides increasing 

self-awareness through assessments, 

questions and discussion, we will become 

more intentional in action. 

WHEN? EIGHT Thursday Evenings, 7-8:30 PM 

September 6-November 1, 2018 and ONE 

Saturday Morning, 9 AM-Noon

APPLE DUMPLING 

You could make this on National Apple Dumpling Day September 17 th ! 

INGREDIENTS: 

1 pastry for double-crust pie 

6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored 

1/2 cup butter 

3/4 cup brown sugar 

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 

3 cups water 

2 cups white sugar 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

DIRECTIONS: 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). 

Butter a 9x13 inch pan. 

On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a large rectangle, about 24 by 

16 inches. Cut into 6 square pieces. Place an apple on each pastry square 

with the cored opening facing upward. Cut butter into 8 pieces. Place 1 

piece of butter in the opening of each apple; reserve remaining butter for 

sauce. Divide brown sugar between apples, poking some inside each cored 

opening and the rest around the base of each apple. Sprinkle cinnamon and 

nutmeg over the apples. 

With slightly wet fingertips, bring one corner of pastry square up to the top 

of the apple, then bring the opposite corner to the top and press together. 

Bring up the two remaining corners and seal. Slightly pinch the dough at 

the sides to completely seal in the apple. Repeat with the remaining apples. 

Place in prepared baking dish. 

In a saucepan, combine water, white sugar, vanilla extract and reserved butter. 

Place over medium heat and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil for 5 

minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour over dumplings. 

Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Place each apple dumpling in 

a dessert bowl and spoon some sauce over the top.
