HEARTHSTONE YARD OF THE MONTH<br />

T.S. Eliott famously wrote, “April is the cruelest month.” One lovely<br />

exception is the lush garden bordering the facade of 14955 Sandalfoot,<br />

home of Karen and Joe Bruccoliere. Even the back yard golf course<br />

gardens negate Eliott’s opinion as well. Cascading tiered rows of color<br />

include Snapdragons, Dusty Miller, Flax Lillies, Indian Hawthorns,<br />

Lugustrums, Nandinas and Day Lillies. Stay tuned to see if April showers<br />

bring <strong>May</strong> flowers!<br />

REMINDER:<br />

Please be mindful of the Harris County Leash Law and be certain that<br />

your pets are on a leash when not confined to your home or backyard.<br />

STOP THAT BARKING<br />

Many dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and restless. Many find relief<br />

in barking. Some respond noisily to any and all activity. But, nothing is<br />

as annoying as incessant barking - even for dog lovers. If your dog is a<br />

yapper or a yowler, please consider some of these bark-abatement ideas<br />

to keep the noise down in your area. Your neighbors will thank you!<br />

• Training. Always the first recommendation for any behavioral problem!<br />

Help is as close as the Yellow Pages. Training not only helps your dog,<br />

you’ll be surprised how much it helps you, too. You may get some insight<br />

into why your dog barks so much or what it is trying to communicate.<br />

• Citronella collars. A humane alternative to the electric-shock, antibarking<br />

collar and costs about the same. Available on the web and in pet<br />

stores.<br />

• Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing an outspoken dog indoors or<br />

confining it to a crate can cut down on the disturbance to neighbors.<br />

• For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close drapes to help muffle street<br />

noise or leave a radio on to mask it.<br />

• Companionship. Dogs are pack animals; they need companionship<br />

- a cat, bird or another dog. Consider a mid-day visit from a pet-sitting<br />

service or drop your pooch off at a friend’s place or a day-care facility<br />

once or twice a week.<br />

Keep in mind that dogs who bark from loneliness or boredom, may not<br />

do it when you are home. Meanwhile, your neighbors may be getting<br />

serenaded while you are away.<br />

LOST & FOUND PETS IN<br />

HEARTHSTONE<br />

Folks in <strong>Hearthstone</strong> are very helpful in getting lost pets reunited with<br />

their owners, but all dog owners should ensure that there is a tag on each<br />

dog with their name, address and phone number. Local pet stores have<br />

machines that make tags like this while you wait. At least that would help<br />

found dogs get back home quicker and with less trauma.<br />

HEARTHSTONE STREETLIGHTS<br />

The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA coordinates maintenance of all the streetlights<br />

throughout the community. This includes the “cobra head” lights like<br />

you see along many streets and highways, as well as the decorative light<br />

poles along Huffmeister and in some of the neighborhoods.<br />

Cobra head streetlights need to be reported to CenterPoint, using the<br />

pole number, which is the “address” for the light. It is a six digit number<br />

facing the street. You can report streetlights that are not working or<br />

staying on during the day at http://cnp.centerpointenergy.com/outage<br />

(Google streetlight outage) or give us the pole number and we will do<br />

it for you.<br />

Outages or problems with decorative streetlights should be reported to<br />

Inframark at 281-870-0585. Please note the exact intersection or closest<br />

address. The association has a contractor doing a monthly nighttime<br />

inspection for lights that are out, but if you see a problem, please report<br />

it, so we can achieve our goal to keep all the lights on all the time.<br />

TRASH DAYS<br />

Trash days are Tuesdays and Fridays with recycling pickup on Fridays. If<br />

you have questions, call 281-368-8397.<br />

Board Meetings are now bi-monthly, usually on the 3 rd Wednesday at 7:00<br />

HEARTHSTONE EXTERIOR<br />

MODIFICATIONS<br />

When making any changes to the exterior of your home, please keep<br />

in mind that you must first submit an application and receive written<br />

approval. An application can be obtained by sending a request to<br />

customercare@inframark.com.<br />

The call center main number is 281-870-0585. The hours are 7 AM to 6 PM<br />

Monday through Thursday and 7 AM to 5 PM on Fridays.<br />

SAFETY TIPS -<br />

AVOID BEING A VICTIM<br />

1. Call the constable’s office anytime you see a suspicious person and do<br />

not let race, age or gender influence you calling (a suspicious person is<br />

anyone you do not recognize on your street).<br />

2. Call the constable’s office when you see a suspicious vehicle (any<br />

vehicle parked in front of your neighbor’s home or driving around your<br />

street that you don’t recognize).<br />

3. Always keep all your doors and windows locked even when you are at<br />

home.<br />

4. Always keep your overhead garage door in the down position.<br />

5. Remember neighbors looking out for neighbors are how the police<br />

catch the bad guys.<br />

6. Make sure to do a vacation watch whenever you go out of town.<br />

7. If someone comes to your door, always go to the door and acknowledge<br />

that you are there and remember to never open the door for anyone that<br />

you do not know. The bad guys in almost all cases do not want you to be<br />

home. Then always call the constable’s office so that we can check them<br />

out. When they leave your house, they are going to your neighbors.<br />

8. If you have children that stay at home alone, no matter what their age,<br />

they need to go to the door and have a preplanned story for whoever is<br />

there (my dad is working on the computer, he says to come back later).<br />

Then have them call the constable’s office.<br />

9. Never do business with people you don not know and trust. Never<br />

open the door for solicitors. If no one in the neighborhood buys anything<br />

from them, the companies that they work for will quit sending them into<br />

your subdivision.<br />

10. Always lock your vehicles and never leave anything of value in plain<br />

sight (covering up an item with a jacket doesn’t count).<br />

Our dispatch number is 281-463-6666 (please put this number in your<br />

cell phone as 911 constable or A constable so that it is one of the first<br />

contacts).<br />

HEARTHSTONE<br />

GARDEN CLUB<br />

ALL ABOUT HEARTHSTONE GARDEN CLUB!<br />

• The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club was founded in 1978. We are now in our<br />

41 st year.<br />

• We meet the third Tuesday* of the month (August through <strong>May</strong>) at 6:30<br />

PM in the Main Dining Room of the country club. All interested residents<br />

and non-resident friends are invited to join us for a social time, a gardenrelated<br />

program and our business meeting. (*November meeting is<br />

often moved up one week and the December meeting is usually held in<br />

a member home.)<br />

• Our garden club is a member of the Houston Federation of Garden<br />

Clubs, Texas Garden Clubs (District IV) and National Garden Clubs (South<br />

Central Region). Our club has received awards and recognition at each<br />

of these levels in the past for our newsletters, yearbooks, scrapbooks,<br />

flower show schedules, community involvement, monetary donations<br />

and Arbor Day celebrations.<br />

NEIGHBORHOOD BEAUTIFICATION<br />

• Our garden club has planted nearly every tree along Huffmeister Road<br />

and nearly two dozen at <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Park. In our early years, garden club<br />

members spent every penny on trees and watered these trees manually<br />

with buckets of water and garden hoses. The club plants a tree each year<br />

in celebration of Arbor Day.<br />

• The garden club does not plant any of the seasonal bedding plants<br />

in the common areas or make any recommendations to the landscape<br />

company that does. We do, however, maintain a Friendship Garden at<br />

<strong>Hearthstone</strong> Park, where we do plant bedding plants. (This flowerbed is<br />

currently under major renovation.)<br />

• The garden club holds an annual Plant Sale the first or second Saturday<br />

morning of November at <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Park. We publicize this event and<br />

offer residents an opportunity to pre-order top-quality bedding plants in<br />

the exact colors and quantities desired for their yards. We offer delivery<br />

to residents who are out of town on the sale date.<br />

• In the early 90’s, the garden club sponsored an “Adopt a Cul-de-Sac”<br />

program where club members and interested residents could prune,<br />

water, plant flowers and more in a cul-de-sac island. This program ended<br />

shortly after its inception when the landscape firm chosen by the HOA<br />

took over maintenance of the cul-de-sacs.<br />

• The garden club provided the funds for the construction of the bulletin<br />

board at <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Park, but members do not personally post on<br />

this board. Announcements are sent to the subdivision management<br />

company for posting.<br />

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT<br />

• Since 1998, our garden club has awarded over $90,000 in college<br />

scholarships to 83 Texas students pursuing a degree in a horticulturerelated<br />

major.<br />

• Garden Club members support Cypress Assistance Ministries with an<br />

annual food drive and winter coat drive. We also support CAM at holiday<br />

time with baking baskets and gift cards for teens.<br />

• During our history, our club has always supported a nursing home.<br />

Currently, members volunteer at Grace Care Cypress on Huffmeister.<br />

• Garden Club members volunteer in the garden therapy greenhouses at<br />

The Brookwood Community in Brookshire several times a year. Our club<br />

has been recognized for our involvement and donations to Brookwood.<br />

The garden club invites you to join us as we kick off our <strong>2019</strong>-2020 year<br />

at our Annual Ice Cream Social and Plant Exchange on Tuesday, August<br />

20 th , at 6:30 PM at the country club. We would love to have you join our<br />

group. For more information, please contact Carol Boyd, <strong>2019</strong>-2020 club<br />

president, at c_boyd_tat@yahoo.com.<br />

HEARTHSTONE GARDEN CLUB<br />

CELEBRATES ARBOR DAY<br />

The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club held its annual Arbor Day celebration on<br />

Saturday, March 2 nd , at <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Park. The day honored Helen Smith,<br />

a former and long-time resident of <strong>Hearthstone</strong> and garden club member.<br />

The garden club, now in its forty-first year, has planted dozens of trees<br />

throughout the years, primarily in the Park and all along Huffmeister, in<br />

their mission to beautify our neighborhood.<br />

Two Chinese fringe trees were planted at this annual event of the garden<br />

club. The trees were planted at the east entrance to the park. One was<br />

donated by the garden club and one was a gift from the <strong>Hearthstone</strong><br />

Homeowner’s Association. The garden club is very thankful for the<br />

support of our homeowner’s association in our beautification efforts.<br />

The celebration was attended by about 50 people, including garden<br />

club members, <strong>Hearthstone</strong> residents, members of Cub Scout Pack 1187<br />

and many of Helen Smith’s family and friends. The scouts presented<br />

our nation’s flag, led those gathered in the Pledge of Allegiance and<br />

performed a reading entitled “Trees of the Fragrant Forest.” The garden<br />

club wishes to thank Pack 1187 for participating in our Arbor Day<br />

celebration this year.<br />

Helen Smith, a resident of <strong>Hearthstone</strong> for more than 35 years who is<br />

planning a move soon to the Pacific Northwest, was surprised to receive<br />

the accolade and accepted the honor with her typical southern charm<br />

and grace. Members of the garden club and friends shared stories of their<br />

friendship with Helen.<br />

A brunch reception followed at the home of club member and former<br />

club president Susan Fruit-Draughon, where the celebration and<br />

remembrances continued.<br />

All attendees received a loblolly pine seedling to plant at their home to aid<br />

Mother Earth in combatting global warming, cleansing the atmosphere<br />

and beautifying their surroundings. Residents may view and enjoy the<br />

many trees that have been planted over the years by the garden club in a<br />

Exchange Student HOSTING FAQs<br />

What does hosting mean? Hosting means you open your heart and<br />

home to a teenager from another country. You provide the same loving,<br />

caring environment for them as you do a member of your own family.<br />

What kinds of families are acceptable? We accept many types of<br />

families: single parent families, families with children of any age, childless<br />

families and families with grown children.<br />

What is the host family responsible for? The host family is responsible of<br />

providing three meals a day, registering the student in school, a separate<br />

bed and a quiet place to study. The STSF local LC will obtain the signed<br />

school acceptance form prior to the student’s arrive to the country.<br />

What happens if the student is ill or in an accident? Our students have<br />

their own medical insurance. Each student should have an ID card and<br />

claim forms before they arrive. STSF will help with the filing of claims.<br />

What about spending money? The student’s natural parents agree<br />

to send adequate spending money. This money should be enough for<br />

clothing, social activities, trips, school expenses and telephone calls to<br />

their home country. Ideally, students will already have a bank account<br />

when they come over that they can access with an ATM card. Host Families<br />

can also assist their students in setting up savings or teen account.<br />

Are we supposed to show them America? Trips are organized and<br />

available to the students through their Regional Directors or through<br />

an STSF approved travel organization. Keep in mind that this is an<br />

academic program with opportunities for travel for students who are<br />

meeting academic standards. RDs also sponsor trips for students. More<br />

information about these trips will be given throughout the year.<br />

What is expected of the exchange student? Our students are here on<br />

an academic program. This means, they must attend all of their classes,<br />

participate in class and maintain at least a C or above in each class. The<br />

student has an orientation that explains the rules they agree to abide by. These<br />

include obeying all local, state and federal laws. They may be immediately<br />

dismissed from the program and sent home for violation of these laws. They<br />

are expected to follow host family rules concerning family responsibilities<br />

such as chores. They must also obey curfews established by the host family.<br />

What is the length of stay? Most of our students arrive in August for a<br />

10 month academic stay. They must return to their home country 7 to 10<br />

days after the last day of school. These are a few students who only come<br />

for a semester. Some arrive in January and stay until December. How<br />

do you match students to Host Families? We try to find students whose<br />

hobbies and interest match the family members. We look for common<br />

interest in the arts, sports and religious involvement. The host Family<br />

may request a student from a country they have special interest in. We<br />

try and match as much as possible to ensure a successful experience.<br />

Are Host Families paid to host? No, but host families receive a $50<br />

tax deduction (Charitable Contribution) per month for each month the<br />

students live with you.<br />

What are the rewards of hosting? Your family gains a new family<br />

member. The relationship that evolves throughout your year as a host<br />

parent will last a lifetime. The focus of this program is to have host<br />

families and students learn from each other.<br />

If you are interested in hosting, please contact Vicki Odom at 832-455-<br />

7881 or vicki.stsfoundation@yahoo.com.<br />

BOY SCOUT TROOP 609<br />

Boy Scout Troop 609 is a specialized for Boys with high functioning<br />

Autism Spectrum Disorders. They meet at the Westview School on the 1 st<br />

and 3 rd Saturday of the month from 9:30-11:30 AM.<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - 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<br />

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility<br />

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made,<br />

peer pressure 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<br />

including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley,<br />

Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan,<br />

Tipps, Walker and Wilson.<br />

Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church,<br />

Beck and Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church,<br />

Copperfield Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield<br />

Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and Copperfield Wards, Middlegate Village<br />

HOA, Peace Community Church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church<br />

ST. AIDAN’S SETS SUMMER VBS<br />

Believe it or not, it’s time to start thinking about Vacation Bible School<br />

again and the folks at St. Aidan’s have another great program planned.<br />

Scheduled for the week of July 8 th -12 th , St. Aidan’s usually hosts about 80<br />

children. This year’s theme is ROAR: Life is wild. God is Good. We usually<br />

have Bahama Bucks on the last day. That is always a big treat for our<br />

students. And, last year, we hosted Wild Things Zoofari. They brought<br />

a wallaby, a toucan, a lemur and a hedgehog. Everyone really enjoyed<br />

that.” Cost of VBS is $30. Scholarships are available for families in-need.<br />

New for this year, we are adding Triumph Sports so our students will<br />

have a full-day option. From 12-4 PM, Triumph will run a Bible-based<br />

sports camp. Participants will play dodgeball, kickball, capture the flag,<br />

basketball, soccer and more. Early registration for this afternoon session<br />

is $105 before June 1 st . After June 1 st , cost goes up to $115. Registration<br />

is already open at aidanschurch.org. For additional information, please<br />

All camps are filled with age appropriate learning disguised as fun!<br />

This year our camps are themed after the youth’s favorite Disney movies!<br />

All camps are Tuesday through Thursday, 9 AM-2 PM. We will also offer a<br />

50 minute dance class on Tuesday’s from 2-2:50 PM weekly for those who<br />

All! On week 2, we are getting ready for some Monster <strong>May</strong>hem! Week 3<br />

is for all our little STEM-tastic learners as we head into Wreck It/Race It<br />

week. Week 4 we will beat the heat with some island style fun with water.<br />

Our 5 th camp is going to be, shall we say, INCREDIBLE…as we end the<br />

summer with a super hero theme.<br />

Each camp is $100 and includes a daily snack. Campers will bring a<br />

peanut-free lunch daily. All camps include science, math, art, movement,<br />

music and creative play with both indoor and outdoor activities. A<br />

minimum payment of $25 is required at the time of registration to hold<br />

your child’s spot with the balance being paid no later than the first day of<br />

<strong>May</strong> <strong>2019</strong> | <strong>Hearthstone</strong>


Warm weather means our gardens and landscapes are growing fast.<br />

Here are some tasks to keep your landscape beautiful and productive:<br />

Flowers: Time to plant summer blooming perennials and annuals<br />

including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane, lobularia,<br />

sunflowers, yellow bells, pride of Barbados, duranta and bat-faced<br />

cuphea.<br />

Vegetables: <strong>May</strong> is a great time to plant, from seed or nursery plants,<br />

okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter squash, pumpkins, basil,<br />

peppers, lima beans, eggplant, garlic chives and Malabar greens. If<br />

you don’t want to dedicate an area of your yard, consider planting<br />

here and there in your flowerbeds. Edible landscaping is a popular<br />

new trend!<br />

Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge or straight<br />

sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know how long<br />

to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”.<br />

Weeding: Hand pull or hoe weeds while they are still young or better<br />

yet, maintain a 3” layer of mulch in all vegetable and flowerbeds to<br />

deter weeds from getting a start.<br />

Pruning: Remove spent blooms on spring and summer annuals to<br />

promote new blooms.<br />

Fertilizing: Fertilize flowerbeds and vegetable gardens w/slow release<br />

organic fertilizer.<br />

Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent<br />

light sprinkling.<br />

Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-<strong>May</strong>. Clean bird feeders!<br />

Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito breeding<br />

spots.<br />
