®<br />

of the page and then select <strong>Sheffield</strong>. The ACC application will be located<br />

at the bottom of the page. The applications should be submitted to Crest<br />

Management as indicated on the form. Please, remember <strong>Sheffield</strong> HOA<br />

does not manage your trash service. This service is through Langham<br />

Creek MUD (water bill) 281-579-4500. If you have any questions regarding<br />

the new service, please refer back to the insert that was included in your<br />

water bill or contact WCA at 281-368-8397 or the MUD.<br />

We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.<br />

Sincerely, Your <strong>Sheffield</strong> Board<br />

DEED RESTRICTION VIOLATIONS<br />

Do you know what the top three reasons management companies send<br />

out deed restriction letters? The first is not keeping your yard mowed and<br />

weeded. Mow your yard on a regular basis, keeping it a little higher in<br />

the summer months, which helps in water retention and crowding out<br />

weeds. The second is leaving your trashcans out in front of the house or<br />

garage. Trashcans should be kept out of sight (in the garage, behind the<br />

privacy fence or behind shrubs or a purpose built enclosure. Contact Crest<br />

Management if you wish to build a trashcan enclosure for Architectural<br />

Control forms. The third reason is mildew on the house siding. This often<br />

happens on shady areas of the house. Power washing or spraying with a<br />

cleaning solution for mildew often takes care of the problem.<br />

GARAGE SALE SIGNS<br />

Placing garage sale signs in the flower and shrub beds within the<br />

neighborhood is not permitted. Such signs found in the flower and shrub<br />

beds will be removed immediately and placed in the trash.<br />

COMMUNITY INFORMATION<br />

AND MEETING NOTICES<br />

If you are interested in receiving Board meeting email notifications,<br />

please go to the Crest website at www.crest-management.com and go<br />

to communities, then scroll down to <strong>Sheffield</strong> and there you will find a<br />

place to sign up with your email address and if you scroll to the bottom,<br />

you can obtain community information, legal documents or applications<br />

as well.<br />

LITTER PICKUP<br />

Just a reminder, if you see trash in the neighborhood, please be a good<br />

neighbor and pick it up and dispose of it properly. Otherwise, then trash<br />

281-859-5637<br />

will either end up in someone’s shrubbery or trees or else get washed<br />

down the storm sewers, contributing to mosquito breeding and backing<br />

up of the storm drains in times of heavy rains. Thanks to those of you who<br />

regularly pick up other people’s litter.<br />

PETS<br />

Please remember that you are not allowed by law to let your dogs and<br />

cats run loose in the neighborhood. If caught, you may receive a ticket<br />

in the amount of up to $500 for such a violation (we have had residents<br />

receive such a ticket). If you see loose pets you can contact Harris County<br />

Animal Control.<br />

A number of <strong>Sheffield</strong> residents either walk their dogs or let their cats<br />

run loose. It is a violation of deed restrictions to let your pet leave their<br />

poop on another resident’s lawn or the common grounds (they belong to<br />

all of <strong>Sheffield</strong>’s residents). If your pet does have to go to the bathroom,<br />

please be courteous and carry a plastic bag (store bags or the newspaper<br />

delivery bag are great for this), pick up the pile by placing your hand<br />

inside the bag, grab the pile through the bag, tie the bag up and throw it<br />

in the garbage. Leaving your pet waste around encourages the possible<br />

spread of pet disease, such as Parvo, which can be life threatening, or<br />

parasites.<br />

NATIONAL COURTESY MONTH<br />

It takes little effort to extend kindness. The entire month of <strong>September</strong><br />

gives ample opportunity to practice being kind. It’s National Courtesy<br />

Month! The word courteous comes from the Middle English word<br />

‘kindness,’ which means ‘noble deeds’ or ‘courtesy.’ One of the greatest<br />

novelists in the English Language, Henry James, once said: “Three things<br />

in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be<br />

kind; the third is to be kind.” So, what does it mean to be courteous?<br />

Courtesy can mean several things to different people. To some, being<br />

courteous means to be helpful. To others, being courteous means to be<br />

polite and having good manners. Courtesy can be words spoken or an<br />

action towards someone. Courtesy is about manners and respect. How<br />

you choose to show someone courtesy is entirely up to you! A single<br />

kind word keeps one warm for three winters - Chinese Proverb Courtesy<br />

should never have limits for people you know. Showing a stranger<br />

common courtesy could be the defining factor of their day. Oftentimes, a<br />

small gesture, such as a compliment, can make a person feel appreciated.<br />

When people are considerate to one another, a positive effect happens.<br />

Moods improve and smiles are easily found. Starting your day with a<br />

polite demeanor will have a ripple effect for the people you encounter!<br />

There are so many ways to show kindness to people through courtesy.<br />

Hold the door open for the people behind you! Mow your elderly<br />

neighbor’s lawn! Compliment that shy person you see every day on the<br />

bus! Above all, SMILE at everyone you meet!<br />

BEST THINGS TO BUY IN SEPTEMBER<br />

<strong>September</strong> feels more like the start of a new year than January - that’s<br />

why many manufacturers treat it as such. The transition from summer to<br />

fall is a great time to release new models and send the old to the clearance<br />

section. Here’s your guide to the best things to buy in <strong>September</strong>:<br />

• Apple products<br />

• Airfare<br />

• Bicycles<br />

• Large appliances<br />

• Grills and accessories<br />

• Luggage<br />

• China, housewares, small appliances<br />

• Sunglasses<br />

• Mattresses and linens<br />

• Cars<br />

• Summer apparel and shoes<br />

CFISD EARNS NINTH STRAIGHT<br />

TEXAS SMART SCHOOLS 5-STAR RATING<br />

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD earned its ninth consecutive five-star rating in the<br />

Texas Smart Schools Initiative, an online resource that aims to improve<br />

education by identifying Smart Schools that are both effective and<br />

efficient. Gathering data on both academic progress and spending, each<br />

school district and campus is assigned a Smart Score of one to five stars. A<br />

five-star rating indicates the strongest level of relative academic progress<br />

combined with the lowest relative spending. CFISD is one of 51 public<br />

and charter school districts across the state to earn a five-star rating. In<br />

addition, CFISD has earned the highest possible rating in all nine years of<br />

the Texas Smart Schools program. Texas Smart Schools uses three-year<br />

averages to obtain more stable and persistent measures of academic<br />

progress and spending. The <strong>2019</strong> Texas Smart Schools results are based<br />

on data from the 2015-2016, 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years.<br />

JUNIOR POLICE ACADEMY CONNECTS<br />

YOUNG STUDENTS WITH OFFICERS<br />

In finding new ways to be engaged with the CFISD community, the<br />

district’s Police Department recently completed its first-ever Junior<br />

Police Academy, giving students a week of learning and activities and<br />

helping foster the relationship between officers and their constituents.<br />

Created for 9-and-10-year-old students, the academy featured sessions<br />

at Cypress Ridge (June) and Cypress Springs (July) high schools.<br />

Originally set up for 45 participants per session, the academy swelled to<br />

96 in total attendance. Participants were grouped together into smaller<br />

squads, with officers serving as mentors and interacting with cadets on<br />

a personal level.<br />

Officers and cadets alternated between outdoor activities, hands-on<br />

instruction and classroom training each day. Session topics included<br />

social media safety, stereotyping and bullying, gang prevention, drug<br />

prevention and gun safety. Cadets learned mapping skills and tourniquet<br />

application among others, while other activities emphasized team<br />

building and problem solving. Physical training was incorporated daily,<br />

with cadets competing in an obstacle course. Fun activities were also fit<br />

into the week, giving campers and officers even more opportunities to<br />

interact and connect. Cadets were also treated to unique meet-and-greet<br />

opportunities with local public safety first responders. Police pilots and<br />

tactical flight officers with the Texas Department of Public Safety flew<br />

and landed a helicopter at each campus, while Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire<br />

Department firefighters and paramedics showcased a firetruck.<br />

Members of the Cypress Creek EMS visited cadets at Cypress Springs,<br />

teaching a hands-on lesson on tourniquets. Feedback was positive and<br />

plans are already in place for possible academy expansion in the future.<br />

CFISD MUSICIANS EARN COVETED SPOTS<br />

IN HOUSTON YOUTH SYMPHONY<br />

Three CFISD students have gone above and beyond in the field of<br />

orchestra over the summer, as Romir Adkar, a rising eighth-grade student<br />

at Smith Middle School and Rohil Watwe and Anika Adkar, rising freshman<br />

and sophomore students at Bridgeland High School, respectively, were<br />

among 400 musicians selected to play in the Houston Youth Symphony<br />

for the <strong>2019</strong>-2020 season.<br />

With three full orchestras and two string orchestras - including a<br />

debut ensemble - the Houston Youth Symphony pledges to offer a<br />

comprehensive musical experience for young musicians between 7 and<br />

19 years old at any skill level. Orchestras rehearse weekly to prepare for<br />

three public concerts at Rice University’s Stude Concert Hall each season.<br />

In addition, leading professionals from the Houston area lead sectionals<br />

for each orchestra and workshops and other opportunities are available<br />

for musicians.<br />

The audition process is conducted in April and May and those accepted<br />

into the program were notified in June. Watwe and the Adkars will all<br />

be part of the Debut String Orchestra, which is under the direction of Dr.<br />

Jackson Guillen and provides foundational experience for developing<br />

string players.<br />

Three concerts are scheduled for the Debut String Orchestra: Nov. 3,<br />

<strong>2019</strong>; Feb. 9, 2020 and May 3, 2020.<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 />

Garden Tips For <strong>September</strong><br />

Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.<br />

• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood.<br />

Light green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron<br />

cheleates.<br />

• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around<br />

the roots.<br />

• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. Follow up with<br />

a dose of fertilizer the first week of <strong>September</strong>.<br />

• Plants come out of summer rest and go crazy. Insect populations<br />

explode as we get into cooler temperatures. Diseases that have been<br />

dormant wake up.<br />

- Citrus, croton, avocado and mango are susceptible to spider mites and<br />

thrips. Discourage them with a strong jet of water from a hose directed to<br />

the undersides of the leaves.<br />

- Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and ixora are susceptible to scale<br />

and mealybug.<br />

• Winter vegetable gardens and perennials get planted.<br />

• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.<br />

• Fire ants baits should be put out in <strong>September</strong>-October to lessen the<br />

number of eggs that make it to Spring.<br />

• St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer during <strong>September</strong>. Continue<br />

to mow at maximum height. You want to leave a lot of leaf surface to<br />

produce carbohydrate reserves for the winter.<br />

• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign of them is grass that<br />

appears to stop growing. You need to get them early for biological<br />

controls to work. When the caterpillars are only 1/4 inch, Bacillus<br />

thuringiensis applications can slow them. Bt is a bacteria that works on<br />

the caterpillars’ digestive systems and makes them stop feeding. Do the<br />

application late in the day. The larvae feed at night and you want them<br />

to get nice fresh Bt.<br />

• When the heat and drought end, the weather could bring brown patch<br />

disease in the St. Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish spots if the nights<br />

drop into the 60’s and days stay in the 80’s.<br />

• Get any pruning of hedges and such done now. You want the flush of<br />

new growth to be hardened-off before the end of October. Tree pruning<br />

should be put off until winter, when the trees are dormant.<br />

• Pre-emerge herbicide applications targeting annual bluegrass and<br />

the earlier-germinating winter broadleaf weeds needed to be put out<br />

starting in mid-August.<br />
