(CCA) EGRETS AND NIGHT HERONS 

Egrets and Night Herons have created nesting sites in Copperfield for 

the last 5 years shutting down pools, mailboxes & creating havoc in 

our neighborhood. The Egrets and Night Herons WILL be returning in 

February!! Prevention is Crucial - Egrets, herons and other migratory birds 

are protected by Federal International Treaty, it’s illegal for residents to 

harass or harm the birds once they lay eggs. Residents will need to band 

together and drive them out of our neighborhood for the next several 

years. Preventing the birds from building nests on residential property or 

in our parks is key. Use these tactics between now and February. 

1. Trim your tree and remove dead wood, these birds favor oak trees and 

other hardwoods. But will nest in other mature trees as well. Trim your 

tree canopy to allow sunlight between limbs and other nearby trees. 

Experts say this is the MOST effective step. 

2. Remove any old inactive nest in your trees. February - Egret Prevention 

Tools! This is the only opportunity homeowners have to scare the birds 

away and to disrupt the cycle. Any home with mature trees is a potential 

nesting site. 

• Visual deterrents - Hang aluminum pie plates, Mylar balloons, beach 

balls with shiny streamers or other moving objects in large trees. 

• Noisemakers - Pump-style air horns, whistles, clappers and even 

children’s toys are effective. Make as much noise as possible aimed at 

the bird. 

• Bright lights - High-intensity flashlights, strobe lights, flashing holiday 

lights can be effective. 

• Water sprayers - Power sprayers and pump-style toy water shooters can 

help. Homemade PVC pipe sprayers can help reach tall tree limbs. 

• Pool poles - Telescoping pool safety poles can be used to reach and 

remove early nesting material. 

• Any Non-lethal devices. 

• Check trees daily and remove the start of any nest quickly. Once birds 

begin sitting on the nest, eggs are probably present and birds cannot 

be harassed. If you have not yet taken action to prevent nesting on your 

property, please do so now!

VILLAGES OF COPPERFIELD 

(CPV) A WORD FROM THE BOARD 

GARAGE SALE!!! GARAGE SALE!!! 

IMPORTANT DATE TO REMEMBER: Saturday, October 26 th , 7 AM-5 PM 

It is time to clean out your attics, storage room and garage and put it 

out for a garage sale. If you have not used it in several years, it is time to 

get rid of it. Also, with the holidays around the corner, you may want to 

put out décor you no longer use. What does not sell you can donate it to 

organizations that help the needy. 

YARD OF THE MONTH 

September was the last month for Yard of The Month. The Yard of the 

Month award is carefully selected to make sure that everyone gets an 

opportunity to receive the award. We try to make sure that the same 

people do not get the award year after year even though their yards 

may look better than their neighbors who got the award. By doing this, 

it allows the homeowners to take pride in their yards even though they 

cannot afford to maintain it with all the expensive landscaping and still 

are capable of receiving Yard of the Month. 

LANDSCAPING 

Summer is here and the yards and landscape are taking a toll with 

the summer heat index. Remember to keep your yards watered in this 

drought. 

You may have noticed that our landscaper is replanting new shrubs and 

plants and sprucing up the landscape in the pool and parks area. Our 

goal is to do this where needed around the cul-de-sacs. 

LOUD NOISE 

Neighbors, please be considerate of others when you have a “BACKYARD 

PARTY!” The loud noise level will not be tolerated and is very 

inconsiderate of your neighbors. This includes loud music in the garage 

or out in your patio. We have been experiencing such behavior even late 

at night. The Harris County Sheriff Department can be contacted if you 

are experiencing this for disturbance of the peace. Call 713-221-6000 

(prompt 6). 

POOL AND PARKS: 

POOL: Pool closed officially until next year on September 30 th . 

Once again we thank our pool committee members for a job well done 

in keeping our pool clean and ready for our homeowners to use daily. 

We thank them for donating their time again this year. Hopefully, we will 

be able to have more volunteers in closing and overseeing our pool next 

year. 

Again we must remind everyone that cameras will pick up any illegal 

activity at all times in the pool and park area. The one thing that we 

are picking up in our cameras is drinking alcohol and smoking. This is 

a violation of pool rules. The second time we see the same person or 

persons, we will deactivate their card if we know who they are. Please 

abide by the rules posted. This is for everyone’s protection. 

POOL TRESPASSING: Jumping over the fence when the pool is closed is 

trespassing and illegal. IF YOU ARE IN THE POOL WHEN CLOSED WE WILL 

CONSIDER YOU TO BE TRESPASSING AND THE SHERIFF’S DEPT. WILL BE 

CONTACTED! CAMERAS ARE ACTIVATED 24/7. 

Please remember NO PARTIES, BBQ PITS, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, 

SMOKING OF ANY KIND or FOOD BEYOND DESIGNATED AREAS. REFER TO 

POSTED POOL RULES.

GREEN BELT AND PARK: 

GREENBELT AND PARK AREA TRASH: Did you know that there are trash

keep these areas free from trash. 

DOG LEASH LAW: There have been many complaints that dogs are 

running loose in the neighborhood. If this is the case, call animal control! 

If you are walking your dogs, keep them on a leash at ALL times. This 

is a deed restriction and also against Harris County Leash Law. Be 

considerate of others. Many children are afraid of animals and also 

people in the neighborhood do not appreciate dogs running around 

loose in their yards using it for doggie stations. Use the green belt area. 

ILLEGAL PARKING: No parking in the Pool/Park area is allowed after 9 

PM. We will begin towing any vehicle seen after hours at the owners’ 

expense. It does not matter if you are a homeowner or a guest visiting 

the homeowner. It is illegal and considered trespassing. If you notice a 

suspicious car or cars parked after hours, contact the non emergency 

sheriff department so a deputy can be dispatched. You do not have to 

give out your name when calling. The number is 713- 221-6000, prompt 6. 

ILLEGAL VEHICLE STREET PARKING OR ABANDONMENT: 

Vehicles must be parked legally on the roadway and facing the correct 

direction for the side of the road which it is parked on. Additionally, the 

below apply: 1) Must park within 18 inches of the curb with BOTH right 

side wheels, which means you CANNOT park FACE IN in a cul de sac. This 

is parking at an angle where prohibited. 2) Must park no closer than 15 

feet from a fire hydrant on either side of said hydrant. 3) Must park no 

closer than 30 feet on the approach side of a stop sign at an intersection. 

4) Must not block any driveways with any part of the vehicle. Additionally, 

any vehicle, which is over 5 years old and has been parked for longer than 

48 hours without moving, can be considered an abandoned vehicle and 

is subject to stickering and being towed after 48 hours under the sticker 

notice without being removed. If you have an old vehicle parked in the 

street, which is not in use, please consider moving it into your garage or 

making other arrangements for it. 

CRIME WATCH: Report any suspicious behavior. Report it to the Harris 

County Sheriff’s dispatcher. You do not have to leave a name or number. 

Call 713-221-6000 #6. 

CRIMES IN PROGRESS CALL 911 

NON-EMERGENCY: 713-221-6000 and prompt 6.

in your neighborhood!

The pool is now closed. Remember that no one is allowed in the pool 

area for any reason. Anyone entering the pool enclosure except for 

maintenance will be considered a trespasser. The sheriff’s office will be 

notified and charges will be filed. Video recording takes place 24/7. 

Night Herons have been reported at the pool park. They are not nesting 

but are comfortable in the trees. They will try to return in the spring 

to begin nesting. Remember that your trees can be affected by these 

birds. 

When our problem in Middlegate exploded in 2014, Night Herons had 

been using our park and increasing in numbers over several previous 

years. Night Herons are a sentry bird and alert Egrets that an area is safe. 

Please look at your trees during these coming months and consider 

trimming them. As noted in the September Copperfield newsletter, this 

is a community problem. 

The benches in the gazebo have been repaired, reinforced and repainted.

lawn maintenance, pool upkeep, neighborhood events and much more. 

Just like our home budgets, Middlegate must pay its bills. The HOA 

Board of Directors meets with the property management company to 

project upcoming expenses. When you have a suggestion of an event 

or improvement you’d like to see put in place in Middlegate, share your 

idea with SCS and your HOA Board of Directors. Perhaps you can even 

spearhead a committee to gather bids for the idea. Committees have 

been the boots on the ground for Middlegate since its inception. The 

committees gather the data to share with HOA Board of Directors.

(NM) CRIME WATCH 

The Copperfield Villages monthly Crime Watch meeting has been 

converted to a ‘virtual’ delivery of the crime watch statistics due to the 

low turnout at meetings and lack of interest from the public to attend. 

Sergeant Lightfoot (HCSO) is posting monthly data via Nextdoor.com 

along with notable arrest info and tips monthly. 

(NM) DEED RESTRICTIONS ISSUES 

Educate yourself with the deed restrictions for our community. They are 

available for reading or download on the community website, under 

Documents and Forms, www.northmeadvillage.org/docs.html. The most 

common issues are yard issues, stored vehicles, fences with missing 

pickets, houses needing painting or power washing on the exterior. 

(NM) HOME IMPROVEMENT REQUIREMENTS 

If you are planning changes to your home, remember to check in with 

Graham Management on home improvement and painting projects. 

Home Improvement Requirements are available for reading or 

download on the community website, under Documents and Forms, 

www.grahammanagementhouston.com/Communities/Northmead%20 

Village/northmeadvillage.htm or www.northmeadvillage.org if you have 

NABR Network. ARC application forms can be obtained on the website. 

Before making improvements or changes that may be impacted by our 

deed restrictions, you can call Graham Management at 713-334-8000 for 

assistance. They will be happy to advise you and provide forms needed 

for approval of your renovation. Remember that you (the owner) are 

responsible for the cost of removing or redoing any unapproved changes. 

(NM) DOG LEASH LAW 

There have been many complaints about dogs are running loose in the 

neighborhood. If this is the case, call animal control! If you are walking 

your dogs, keep them on a leash at ALL times. This is a deed restriction 

and also against Harris County Leash Law. Be considerate of others. Many 

children are afraid of animals and also people in the neighborhood do 

not appreciate dogs running around loose in their lawns. Please pickup 

after your dogs, no one wants to step in your dog’s poop. 

(NM) SUGGESTIONS AND TIPS ON HOW TO PROPERLY NUMBER YOUR 

HOME 

Believe it or not, a large number of house numbers are not visible from 

the street during the daytime. It’s even worse at night. A badly displayed 

number can hinder the police, ambulance and fire department in the 

event of an emergency. 

Street curb - The number should be painted about two feet from the 

driveway in the direction of the house. Most paintings are inexpensive. If 

the driveway has a curb of its own, this is fine as long as the number faces 

traffic. Black numbers painted on white background are excellent. They 

are clearly visible from a distance even with very little light. 

House - The best place is near the front door and within the radius of 

the porch light. Above the front door is usually a good spot. Any location 

close to the door and above eye level is good. 

• Trees and bushes must not block the view from the road. Avoid having it 

away from the front door, such as over the garage door. 

• Pick a color that has a light and dark contrast with the background. The 

background is usually the color of the house. This will make the number 

stand out so it can be viewed from the street. If your house has a dark 

color, you need a number in a light color. If your house has a light color, 

get a dark color number. For example, a black number is perfect on a 

white house. A white number will show clearly on a brick house.

sOUTHCREEK VILLAGE 

(SC) EGRETS AND HERONS 

The snowy egrets and black-billed night herons are coming to your 

neighborhood and we need considerable homeowner engagement to 

protect our community from the devastation they leave behind. The 

Southcreek Village HOA Board of Directors is consulting with Southdown 

Village HOA to deter invasive heronries such as can be found at Southdown 

Village’s pool area and previously around Middlegate Village’s pool area. 

This summer small numbers of them nested in the Autumn Laurel Pool 

park, in trees along Royal Gardens Road and especially around the 

gazebo in Signal Creek Park. These birds are generally protected under 

state and federal law and legally cannot be harassed when nesting, 

especially when eggs and young are in the nest. 

Your HOA BOD is currently considering bids to aggressively reshape or 

eliminate trees that the birds appear to favor for nesting. We will also 

be asking every homeowner to engage in a neighborhood watch and 

deterrence effort for herons mid-February through June. Primarily we 

will ask each of you to use acceptable measures to deter them from 

taking over our community. For now, if you see them on your street or 

in your trees take efforts to shoo them away - but do not attempt to 

capture or harm the birds. We will post more about this routinely on the 

Townsquare Message Board. Please check that site frequently for more 

information. 

In the spirit of communications with our neighbors in South Down and 

South Creek our working collectively we can try and resolve the issues 

with these pesky birds. 

See information and tips under CCA at the front of the newsletter. 

(SC) BOARD MEETINGS 

Copperfield Southcreek Board meetings are on the third Thursday of 

each month. Please feel free to stop by the Autumn Laurel Pool at 6 PM 

for a recap on events impacting Southcreek. This is a public forum where 

you can ask any questions or express any concerns to the Southcreek 

HOA Board. 

(SC) STREET LIGHTS 

If you notice a street light out in the neighborhood, please report street 

light outage: https://slo.centerpointenergy.com. 

(SC) COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE 

The community garage sale will be held on October 5, 2019. 

(SC) HOA DUES 

Friendly reminder! Your HOA dues help keep Southcreek looking like as 

great as it does-please make it a priority to pay your dues if you have not 

yet done so. 

(SC) STREET PARKING 

Please be courteous to your neighbors when street parking. Do not 

obstruct driveways or sidewalks. Should you need to briefly park a trailer 

in the street, please make sure it’s not obstructing anyone’s access to 

their driveway. As a reminder, it is prohibited to street park commercial 

vehicles in Southcreek-this includes, but is not limited to, semi-trailer 

trucks and heavy equipment vehicles. 

(SC) HARRIS COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT. 

See something fishy going on the neighborhood? Report any suspicious 

activity to the Harris County Sheriff’s non-emergency line at 713-221- 

6000. Remember, the patrolling Sheriff’s deputies depend on us as much 

as we depend on them. 

(SC) DEED RESTRICTION LETTERS 

Please do not ignore deed restriction letters sent to your residence about 

deed restriction violations. Doing so can subject the property owner to a 

$35 charge per CERTIFIED letter if not settled by the homeowner in the 

time noted in the letter. Associa (PMG) manages this process and should 

be contacted If you require assistance in complying. Associa (PMG) will 

work with you to get the violation resolved, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 

COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICITONS EVERY HOMEOWNER 

AGREED TO ABIDE BY, SOME VIOLATIONS CAN BE CURED VIA THE 

ASSOCIATIONS SELF HELP RESTRICTION. The Association can hire a 

contractor to repair THESE VIOLATIONS and charge THE COST OF THIS 

SERVICE charged back to the Home Owner. 

The South Creek Village Community Association takes these violations 

very seriously and strives to keep up the Southcreek standards for 

attractive, well maintained homes. If you should receive a violation, 

please take this seriously and CORRECT the violation. If the violation is 

not CORRECTED, the Southcreek Village Community Association will BE 

FORCED to turn it over to its legal representatives. Once that happens 

all future expenses are born by the homeowner. There is a charge of 

$125 AND UP FOR EACH LETTER. Please note that The Southcreek Village 

Community Association does not want to make the violations public. We 

are here to protect everybody’s property values. Please don’t disregard 

the letters, work with us to maintain property values and to keep 

Southcreek looking great, a place where everyone wants to live. 

SOUTHDOWN VILLAGE 

(SD) BEING A BLOCK CAPTAIN 

Does your street have a Block Captain? If not, it needs one. And maybe 

it’s you…. 

Southdown Village Crime Watch believes that a well-connected 

community is a safer community. Block Captains help build and maintain 

that connection. They collate and share contact details for their block, 

disseminate information from the Crime Watch Committee and help lead 

efforts like the National Night Out. 

If you already know most of your neighbors, then being a Block Captain 

cements that existing connection. If you only know perhaps one or two of 

your neighbors, then being a Block Captain gives you the opportunity to 

get to know them and to foster a connection between them. 

For me, becoming a Block Captain has been very rewarding. I now know 

nearly everybody in my street and we are working together on something 

fun for National Night Out. I certainly feel like we have taken our first 

steps toward becoming a connected group and I am looking forward to 

getting to continuing to get to know my neighbors better. 

Thinking of trying it out? Reach out to SouthdownCrimeWatch@gmail. 

com. 

(SD) HOA WEBSITE 

Please remember that the official website of the community is through 

Nabr Network (go to southdownvillage.org and you will be redirected). All 

communications from the Association will be on this website. In addition, 

all of the Associations governing documents and other important and 

helpful information is accessible on the site. 

(SD) ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE 

Homeowners are required to obtain approval from the ARC before 

doing ANY exterior changes to your property. Forms are available at: 

www.southdownvillage.com. You will also find Exterior Maintenance 

Requirements, ACC Guidelines, Deed Restrictions, Play Structure 

Resolution as well as other helpful information at the site.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT KUDOS 

Many thanks to our wonderful neighbors who volunteered to host a 

“block gathering” for National Night Out (NNO), which was celebrated on 

Tuesday, October 1 st . Also a big thank you to the nine neighbors who gave 

up their time to participate and to sponsor a ‘know your neighbor event.’ 

At many of the gatherings, Sheriff’s Deputies stopped by and visited 

with the various groups for the purpose of strengthening community 

bonds and or discussing various crime prevention tips. HEB, Target and 

the Westcreek Homeowners Association made donations to help the 

sponsors host their events. This generosity is sincerely appreciated. 

Westcreek would like a captain for each block; so if you would like 

to serve in this rewarding position, please contact Larry Berger at 

lberger@comcast.net. We all want to live in a safe community!!! If you 

see something suspicious, please call the Sheriff Dept. non-emergency 

number 713-221-6000 #6. 

COURTESY ISSUE: 

As children are walking and riding their bikes to and from school, please 

make sure your sprinkler system is turned off during these times. Many 

sprinklers are going off and making it a difficult for children to get to their

OH NO THE BIRDS!! 

Westcreek is trying to alleviate a potential problem that has plagued 

some of the other villages; namely the nesting of egrets and herons. 

Presently Southdown has had to close their park and pool due to the 

nesting birds. Middlegate, Easton Commons and Northmead have also 

suffered from the bird population. These birds make a mess and the 

smell is horrendous, but they are protected so once the nest is formed 

in the Spring nothing can be done for the entire season. The key is to not 

allow the birds to start a nest. The herons and egrets select areas with a 

closed canopy of trees, primarily oaks. They also need a nearby source 

of food and water and few predators. Westcreek will have a trimming of 

the trees in both parks to discourage the nesting, but we will also send 

out more information each month to advise the residents of how they 

can help to discourage the birds. These herons and egrets will also nest 

in residents’ trees as well if the canopy is thick. Please be vigilant and let 

the HOA know if you see some nesting activity. Again, more information 

will be forthcoming in the next few issues of this newsletters.

Texas natives – flowering Green milkweed (Asclepias viridis) and Aquatic 

milkweed (A. perennis) this summer in the Monarch Bed, Copperfield 

Trail. 

COPPERFIELD TRAIL - POLLINATOR CORRIDOR: 

Milkweeds: Fall is a time of many southward migrations, as some birds and 

insects travel to warmer over wintering areas. One amazing migration is 

that of the Monarch butterfly, making the journey from Canada to Mexico! 

These butterflies are reported to fly around 20-30 miles per day on their 

journey south, but up to 120 miles. They need to feed on nectar during 

their journey and to sustain themselves during the winter. The Monarch 

Bed on the Copperfield Trail has native Fall flowering plants such as Blue 

mistflower, Salvia and sunflowers available for migrating butterflies. 

Some monarchs will stay in our region through the winter, if the weather 

is mild and may even breed during that time due to the presence of 

Tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica). However, the butterflies that 

over winter in our area have an increased risk of becoming infected by 

a debilitating parasite, Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (OE) which lives on 

these non-native milkweeds. 

If you have tropical milkweed please cut it back from October-February 

to within 6” of the ground (unless it dies back naturally on its own). 

Also remove any new plant growth at the base of the plant. Cutting 

the milkweed back is especially important in our region and it will be 

necessary to prune frequently (every 3 weeks) as it quickly re-grows.

got tips on carving the best pumpkin, as well as how to pick a good 

pumpkin for carving! 

HOW TO PICK A GOOD PUMPKIN FOR CARVING 

Look for one that is a little misshapen. Inspect it for soft spots (especially 

the end opposite the stem). Reject a pumpkin that has soft spots, they 

will cause it to deteriorate quickly. Remember, your pumpkin doesn’t 

have to sit on its base, in fact, that’s often its weakest spot. 

Let the pumpkin guide the shape of the face: An elongated pumpkin 

should have an elongated face. A fat and happy pumpkin should have 

a fat and happy face. 

HOLLOW OR WHOLE? 

There are two reasons for hollowing: (1) If the inside is going to be 

exposed (through the mouth, etc.), it looks better if it is hollowed 

neatly. (2) If you plan to light the pumpkin from the inside, it must be 

hollow. You can hollow it out from a hole in the back instead of the top, 

so that the look of the face isn’t affected. If you’re illuminating with a 

candle, you need to hollow from the top to allow the heat and smoke 

to escape. 

THE TOOLS 

Use a water-based marker to outline the face that you want to carve. 

First, draw a line down the center to establish symmetry. Then sketch 

the nose, the approximate center of the face. Once you’re satisfied with 

the details, trace over the lines using a permanent marker. For carving, 

basic kitchen implements, such as a paring knife or a steak knife with 

a standard - not serrated - blade that’s not going to bend, work well. 

You can also use a standard jigsaw blade. Otherwise, improvise: Use a 

melon-ball cutter to make circles, for example. 

16 

MAKE A FACE 

To achieve a three-dimensional appearance, carve the entire pumpkin. 

Exaggerate the features. (If you aren’t sure what teeth really look like or 

how the gum line works, smile and look in the mirror.) If the pumpkin is 

frowning, carve wrinkles under the mouth. To add character, carve a lot 

of “crow’s feet” lines around the eyes. Consider using the stem as the 

nose and inserts such as radishes for the eyes or cut eyeballs from the 

back of the pumpkin and hold them in place with toothpicks. 

CARVE WITH CARE 

Use two hands at all times: one to control the blade and the other to 

control the pressure with which you cut (and thus the depth). Take care 

not to jab the blade into the pumpkin; you don’t want to cut all the 

way through the rind - except to determine its depth. The thickness of 

the rind will vary, not only from pumpkin to pumpkin, but also within 

one pumpkin. To determine your pumpkin’s average depth, cut a 

core sample where you want an eye or a nostril to be. Keep that piece 

nearby as a reminder of how deep you can safely cut. 

ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS 

Pumpkins, which are actually a fruit, not a vegetable, are 90 percent 

water, so after carving they usually last only three days to a week. A 

jack-o’-lantern with a surface carving will last longer than one that 

is cut all the way through. Putting a candle or other light inside will 

shorten its life span, as the heat that results can “cook” the pumpkin 

and reduce its longevity to a matter of hours. For a bright, shiny finish, 

spray Armor All on the pumpkin and rub it in. Paint will not preserve a 

pumpkin. However, if you decide to paint your pumpkin for decoration, 

use a water-based latex paint and wait at least an hour after carving 

so that the cuts you have made in the pumpkin have a chance to dry.

Halloween Safety Tips 

Walk Safely: Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. 

Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross. Put 

electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street. 

Teach children to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them. 

Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as 

far to the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest 

street crossings. Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to 

never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars. 

Trick or Treat with an Adult: Children under the age of 12 should not be alone 

at night without adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out without 

supervision, they should stick to familiar areas that are well lit and trick-or-treat 

in groups. 

Keep Costumes Both Creative and Safe: Decorate costumes and bags with 

reflective tape or stickers and if possible, choose light colors. Choose face paint 

and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s 

vision. Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by 

drivers. When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips 

and falls. 

Drive Extra Safely on Halloween: Slow down and be especially alert in residential 

neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable 

ways. Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs. 

Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. Eliminate any distractions 

inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings. Drive 

slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and turn your headlights on earlier in the 

day to spot children from greater distances. Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 

PM to 9:30 PM so be especially alert for kids during those hours. 

Teens and Adolescents: 

• Travel in groups. Go only to the houses of people you know. Younger 

children should be accompanied by a responsible older person. 

• Carry flashlights. 

• Carry a mobile phone for quick communication. 

• Stay focused on your surroundings. If harassed or threatened, go into 

the closest store/restaurant and ask to use the phone. Call parents and/ 

or police. Let the proprietors know that your group feels unsafe. 

• Be very cautious around jack-o’-lanterns with lit candles. Keep an eye 

out for flames and/or candles on porches. 

• Consider alternatives to trick-or-treating. Alternatives include house or 

school parties or volunteering at a haunted-house project. 

Teen and Adult Drivers: 

• Clear the driver’s view. Be sure that neither the driver’s costume nor 

anything else in the car obstructs the driver’s view. 

• Wear a seat belt. Be sure your passengers are wearing a safety belt, even 

if they have to take off part of their costume to attach it. 

• Drive slowly and defensively. Don’t assume that a pedestrian, especially 

an excited youngster in a costume, will move as you expect. Keep an eye 

out for trick-or-treaters darting out from parked cars. 

Homeowners: 

• Replace burned-out bulbs in exterior lights. Leave your exterior lights 

on later than usual - perhaps even all night. 

• Clear the pathway. Make sure the path to your door is well lighted and 

your lawn is clear of things that could be tripped over, such as jack-o’- 

lanterns with lit candles, ladders, garden hoses, flowerpots, bikes and 

animal leashes. 

• Sweep wet leaves from sidewalks and stairs. 

• Keep excitable pets away from the door. You’ll have a safer and calmer 

house if you keep Fido away from where you are dispensing the treats. 

• Put your car in the garage. Lock your garage doors. 

18 

Last-Minute 

Costume Ideas 

Look what you can make with 

garbage bags, balloons and a 

few crafty additions: 

Dress your youngster as Robin 

Hood with a green plastic 

garbage bag belted in the 

middle, tights and a V-shaped 

hat made of brown paper. 

Staple real or constructionpaper 

leaves to pajamas, tights, 

an old shirt or another garbage 

bag, so Robin’s companion(s) 

can come as Sherwood Forest. 

Alternatively, use the leaves 

and attach red, yellow or 

orange balloons to the costume. Presto: you’re an apple, lemon or 

orange tree. (Leaves can be stuck to a headband as an extra touch.) 

Blow up a multicolored group of balloons. Dress child in black turtleneck 

and tights, then make leg holes in a clear plastic dry-cleaner’s bag. Slip 

legs through, then fill the bag with balloons. (Bag should reach from 

shoulders to thighs). Seal top and reinforce sides and bottom “seams” 

with clear wrapping tape. Your child is now a bag of jellybeans. 

Have a fun and Safe 

Halloween!

CFISD’S CAMP SUMMIT EARNS 

DISTRICT OF DISTINCTION AWARD 

Camp Summit, a primary literacy program for kindergarten through 

second-grade students, was recently named a District of Distinction 

award winner by District Administration magazine. 

Camp Summit was established in 2014 and prioritizes prevention over 

remediation to address an observed decline in reading achievement. 

The camp helps any CFISD kindergarten, first- and second- grade student 

who lack reading readiness or struggle to keep pace. Students receive 23 

full days of instruction and all students get books to take home daily to 

practice their reading skills. 

“We are honored to be one of the 34 districts from across the country 

to receive the 2019 Districts of Distinction award for Camp Summit,” 

said LaTisha Bard, coordinator for primary curriculum. “This award 

20 

pays tribute to the hard work and dedication of our staff, administrators 

and Board of Trustees who have supported Camp Summit for the past 

six years. We look forward to continuing our work with our youngest 

learners to help them become more proficient and confident readers.” 

Based on 2018 enrollment data, 96 percent of students experienced 

no “summer slide” in reading levels and 84 percent of students 

demonstrated growth of one or more reading levels. 

“These districts have developed innovative programs to support 

students in their education and well beyond the classroom,” said JD 

Solomon, editorial director of District Administration magazine. “We 

hope our readers are inspired by the efforts of these honorees to create 

successful initiatives in their own districts.” 

Districts of Distinction was established by District Administration 

magazine to honor school districts that are leading the way with new 

ideas that solve challenges. Honorees are selected based on quantifiable 

results and the replicability of their initiatives. The July 2019 Districts 

of Distinction honorees were selected by the magazine’s editors from 

numerous nominations. To view a full list of the 2019 honorees, visit the 

District Administration magazine’s website.

LANGHAM CREEK SENIOR PARTICIPATES 

IN NASA SCHOLARS PROGRAM 

Alia Nathani, a senior at Langham Creek High School, recently 

participated and excelled in the NASA High School Aerospace Scholars, 

which included a weeklong residential summer program where she 

helped create, design and build models for the task of planning how to 

live on Mars. Nathani qualified through a competitive selection process 

where she not only needed an expressed interest in science, technology, 

engineering and mathematics (STEM), but also be nominated by a state 

legislator. She was among 270 students across Texas selected for the 

program. 

“The opportunity was truly incredible,” Nathani said. “We got to stay there 

for only a week but it seriously felt like we were there for several weeks 

because we accomplished so much every day. We got the opportunity to 

learn from so many different NASA speakers, engineers and scientists.” 

Scholars selected for the program complete a four-month online portion 

during the 2018-2019 school year, with NASA activities and a statealigned 

curriculum focusing on Earth, aeronautics, the International 

Space Station, journey to Mars and the solar system. Nathani’s excellence 

in the online portion earned her an all-expenses-paid spot in June at the 

Johnson Space Center in Houston. 

At the center, Nathani and other program participants were placed 

into teams to complete a Mars mission design challenge. They also 

completed hands-on activities to support the research and toured the 

center facilities. Nathani was eventually among the few scholars selected 

to represent their respective teams at the closing ceremony and discuss 

their progress, projects and experiences with NASA engineers, education 

specialists, scientists, mentors and families of the aerospace scholars. 

Nathani coupled her experience in the program this summer with an 

internship at Rice University in the Tribomechadynamics Laboratory. She 

conducted research on a scaled model of a drill string test rig alongside 

undergraduate and graduate students.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - 

COPPERHEAD DISTRICT 

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found 

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant 

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting 

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership 

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. 

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities 

that allow them to: Try new things. • Provide service to others. • Build selfconfidence. 

• Reinforce ethical standards. Scouting provides youth with 

a sense that they are important as individuals while promoting activities 

that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. As a result, 

when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and 

the right choices can be made. Scouting provides a rewarding experience 

for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through the local Packs and Troops teach 

outdoor and life skills which help our youth Be Prepared. Your area is 

serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area Counsel - Copperhead District 

which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 13 Troops 

(boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing units (boys and girls from 

14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly. 

Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools 

including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley, 

Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan, 

Tipps, Walker and Wilson. 

Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church, 

Beck and Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church, 

Copperfield Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield 

Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and Copperfield Wards, Middlegate Village

GOLF LOVERS DAY IS ALWAYS ON OCTOBER 4TH! 

What is this Holiday for? This holiday is for celebrating and enjoying 

a day of golf. So let this holiday be the day you play a game of golf or at 

least have some fun learning about the game. This day is actually a big 

day for a charitable event sponsored by the PGA every year. The 4 th has 

been held for charity since 1952. 

Who celebrates this holiday? Everyone who loves the game of golf! This 

game is played all over the world. 

What is Golf? Golf is a game in which a player, using many types of clubs 

including a driver, a putter and irons, hits a ball into each hole on a golf 

course in the lowest possible number of strokes. Golf is one of the few ball 

games that does not use a standardized playing area; rather, the game 

is played on golf “courses,” each one of which has a unique design and 

typically consists of either 9 or 18 holes. Golf is defined in the Rules of Golf as 

“playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke 

or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules.” The first game of golf 

for which records survive was played at Bruntsfield Links, in Edinburgh, 

Scotland, in A.D. 1456, recorded in the archives of the Edinburgh Burgess 

Golfing Society, now The Royal Burgess Golfing Society. The modern game 

of golf spread from Scotland to England and has now become a worldwide 

game, with golf courses in the majority of countries. 

Golf Etymology The word Golf was first mentioned in writing in 1457 on a 

Scottish statute on forbidden games as gouf, possibly derived from the Scots 

word goulf (variously spelled) meaning “to strike or cuff.” This word may, in turn, 

be derived from the Dutch word kolf, meaning “bat” or “club” and the Dutch sport 

of the same name. It is often claimed that the word originated as an acronym for 

“gentlemen only, ladies forbidden,” but this is strictly a false etymology. 

World Golf Popularity In 2005, Golf Digest calculated that there were 

nearly 32,000 golf courses in the world, approximately half of them in 

the United States. The countries with most golf courses in relation to 

population, starting with the best endowed were: Scotland, New Zealand, 

Australia, Ireland, Canada, Wales, United States, Sweden and England 

(countries with fewer than 500,000 people were excluded). Apart from 

Sweden, all of these countries have English as the majority language, 

but the number of courses in new territories is increasing rapidly. For 

example the first golf course in the People’s Republic of China opened in 

the mid-1980s, but by 2005 there were 200 courses in that country.

Festive Foods for Halloween 

Here are some simple ways to spice up everyday foods: 

1. Put a licorice straw into the breakfast orange juice and pack an orangedyed 

hard-boiled egg in the lunch box. 

2. Make American cheese the sandwich of the day and cut a pumpkin 

shape onto the top slice of bread. 

3. Poke cloves into an orange to make a smiling pumpkin face - or just 

draw one on with a marking pen. 

DIrections 

In a bowl, combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press into a greased 13-in. 

x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes. Cool on

Gardening Tips For October 

• Dig and store caladiums before the foliage dies. Allow the bulbs to dry 

in the shade, shake off the dried soil and dust with sulphur to control 

fungus. Store by hanging in open mesh bags or old panty hose. 

• Flowers planted for spring can begin when the temperatures are going 

to stay cooler. Shrubs and trees can be planted now. Woody plants 

concentrate on root growth through the winter and the more headstart 

they can get before summer, the better. 

• October 15th is about the time for dividing and planting daylilies. 

• Watch out for brown patch in St. Augustine grass. These circular brown 

patches are caused by a fungus that is activated by moist cool weather. 

Control with Daconil. 

• If you need to do any pruning, do it early in the month. The re-growth 

stimulated by pruning needs to harden off before that odd-ball frost of 

Halloween. Prune fruit trees when leaves begin to fall. Remove all dead, 

weak and over-crowded growth. Tip back main branches to control size 

and shape. Spray w/dormant oil when temperature is between 30-60 

degrees. 

• Cut back tops of perennials after they have bloomed. Divide roots and 

transplant anytime from now until March, the earlier the better. 

• Get the ant baits down. This will greatly reduce your spring populations. 

• Clover left over from last year may be growing. It’s best to hit it with 

the post-emerge herbicides in October and November. At least two 

applications are usually needed, even if done this early. 

• For color throughout the winter, begin planting pansies.
