(CCA) EGRETS AND NIGHT HERONS<br />

Egrets and Night Herons have created nesting sites in <strong>Copperfield</strong> for<br />

the last 5 years shutting down pools, mailboxes & creating havoc in<br />

our neighborhood. The Egrets and Night Herons WILL be returning<br />

now!! Prevention is Crucial - Egrets, herons and other migratory birds<br />

are protected by Federal International Treaty, it’s illegal for residents to<br />

harass or harm the birds once they lay eggs. Residents will need to band<br />

together and drive them out of our neighborhood for the next several<br />

years. Preventing the birds from building nests on residential property or<br />

in our parks is key.<br />

1. Trim your tree and remove dead wood, these birds favor oak trees and<br />

other hardwoods. But will nest in other mature trees as well. Trim your<br />

tree canopy to allow sunlight between limbs and other nearby trees.<br />

Experts say this is the MOST effective step.<br />

2. Remove any old inactive nest in your trees. Egret Prevention Tools! This<br />

is the only opportunity homeowners have to scare the birds away and to<br />

disrupt the cycle. Any home with mature trees is a potential nesting site.<br />

• Visual deterrents - Hang aluminum pie plates, Mylar balloons, beach<br />

balls with shiny streamers or other moving objects in large trees.<br />

• Noisemakers - Pump-style air horns, whistles, clappers and even<br />

children’s toys are effective. Make as much noise as possible aimed at the<br />

bird.<br />

• Bright lights - High-intensity flashlights, strobe lights, flashing holiday<br />

lights can be effective.<br />

• Water sprayers - Power sprayers and pump-style toy water shooters can<br />

help. Homemade PVC pipe sprayers can help reach tall tree limbs.<br />

• Pool poles - Telescoping pool safety poles can be used to reach and<br />

remove early nesting material.<br />

• Any Non-lethal devices.<br />

• Check trees daily and remove the start of any nest quickly. Once birds<br />

begin sitting on the nest, eggs are probably present and birds cannot<br />

be harassed. If you have not yet taken action to prevent nesting on your<br />

property, please do so now!<br />

FIRE TRUCK CLEARANCE<br />

The Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department is still requesting homeowners<br />

assist in addressing the low hanging trees within the <strong>Copperfield</strong><br />

Community. Low hanging limbs and branches are causing damage to<br />

the fire departments equipment and damage to the homeowners’ trees,<br />

hampering the response to emergency calls. Most of the fire departments<br />

equipment is 13 feet tall and therefore need a 14 foot clearance from<br />

trees that hang over the streets. Routes to locations have to be altered<br />

to avoid these areas and some areas have no alternate route; leaving no<br />

recourse but to park and walk to the locations.<br />

SEE STRAYS IN YOUR STREET?<br />

Do adult cats traipse through your landscape? Have you discovered<br />

newborn kittens in your yard? If you choose to care for these cats, keep in<br />

mind your responsibility. As custodian of the cats, you must keep the cats<br />

licensed, vaccinated and restrained. In unincorporated Harris County, the<br />

custodian of every cat is responsible for any behavior of that cat. For laws<br />

pertaining to pets in unincorporated Harris County, review regulations<br />

AnimalLaws/AnimalRegulations#section4. Call 281-999-3191 to reach<br />

Animal Control for unincorporated Harris County.<br />

POOL AND PARKS: The pool as you know is closed. Again we must<br />

remind everyone that cameras will pick up any illegal activity at all<br />

times in the pool and park area. **At this time, we are contemplating on<br />

opening our pool for WEEKENDS ONLY beginning Saturday, May 2 nd<br />

and officially opening after Memorial Day. **These dates could change<br />

if we do not have enough pool volunteers. Pool volunteers make sure<br />

to close pool at 9 PM, empty trash, put chairs and loungers back in their<br />

place and clean tables if needed. This is not much to ask but is needed in<br />

order to keep our pool open. If you are interested, contact SCS and they<br />

will refer you to the committee members. Pool card activation form will<br />

be mailed out prior to pool opening. Make sure you send form in by the<br />

specific time mentioned so that your pool card can be activated. Your<br />

account with our management company for assessment dues etc. must<br />

be up to date or pool card access will be denied.<br />

POOL TRESPASSING: Jumping over the fence when the pool is closed is<br />

trespassing and illegal. IF YOU ARE IN THE POOL WHEN CLOSED WE WILL<br />

CONSIDER YOU TO BE TRESPASSING AND THE SHERIFF’S DEPT. WILL BE<br />

CONTACTED! CAMERAS ARE ACTIVATED 24/7.<br />

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS CALL AND REPORT IT! Program<br />

your phone for the non-emergency phone number to the Sheriff’s<br />

department (713-221-6000 #6) or crimes in progress dial 911. You do not<br />

MIDDLEGATE VILLAGE<br />

(MG) POOL AND PARK NEWS<br />

The past years in Middlegate has seen changes as our neighborhood has<br />

evolved. Changes in the parks and at the pool have been in response to<br />

various needs as our community grows older.<br />

As the <strong>2020</strong> decade begins, the pool and park committee must also<br />

evolve. The different levels of responsibility that the committee has been<br />

involved with require a new approach to ensure that our parks and pool<br />

continue to provide a resource that our residents can enjoy.<br />

Over the years, residents have served on the HOA Board and committees<br />

that work together for Middlegate. Homeowners who have served are<br />

now moving on to different phases in their lives and new residents need<br />

to participate. The pool and park committee covers the following areas:<br />

1. Pool<br />

2. Pool Park including playground<br />

3. Gazebo Park including playground<br />

4. Signs for garage sales and annual meetings<br />

5. Coordinates with individuals who work on the National Night Out and<br />

Breakfast With Santa<br />

6. Flower boxes around the signs at each park<br />

7. Security cameras for each park<br />

8. Marquee at Gazebo Park<br />

The committee intends to split these tasks into smaller groups. For<br />

example, if you are interested in the pool and want to interact with the<br />

pool company for the summer months then your time is not needed for<br />

the whole year. If you would prefer to inspect just one park or inspect<br />

playground equipment at one park, then perhaps you could accept<br />

that responsibility. Placing the signs for either the garage sale or annual<br />

meeting are one week commitments.<br />

Your time is valuable. No item on the above list will require anyone to<br />

start with a blank slate. Copious information is available for everyone<br />

from the committee. If you want the events like Breakfast with Santa and<br />

National Night Out to continue, then your help is vital.<br />

At the annual meeting on <strong>March</strong> 25 th , a table will be set up for a sign up<br />

sheet. The committee chair can answer any of your questions.<br />

(MG) ANNUAL ASSESSMENT<br />

Your annual assessment payment covers many expenses incurred<br />

by Middlegate. Pool, parks, mowing, irrigation system upkeep and<br />

playground repairs are among the many expenses that HOA fees cover.<br />

For more complete list, go to SCS Go site and select resources tab. You<br />

can review budget items there. You’re always welcome to attend HOA<br />

Board meetings too, where you can inquire about these expenses and<br />

the services provided.<br />

(MG) ANNUAL MIDDLEGATE HOA MEETING<br />

<strong>March</strong> 25 th at Labay Middle School beginning 7 PM. Mark it on<br />

your calendar. This is time and place of annual meeting open to all<br />

homeowners. Watch your mail and Middlegate website for details.<br />

(MG) MIDDLEGATE GARAGE SALE<br />

The Middlegate spring garage sale will be held on Saturday, April 4 th .<br />

Set up your merchandise on your property. There’s no need to haul your<br />

belongings to a remote site.<br />

The rain date will be April 18 th , as the weekend prior is Easter weekend.<br />

(MG) MIDDLEGATE CLASSIFIEDS<br />

SAFETY BREAKS: One ten-minute break will be taken at ten (10) minutes<br />

before the hour, every hour. This is to serve as a time of rest for our guests.<br />

This safety break is for everyone including adults. In the fair housing act,<br />

it states that it is age discrimination to not allow anyone under the age<br />

<strong>March</strong> <strong>2020</strong> | <strong>Copperfield</strong>


of 18 in the pool during this 10-minute break. For this reason, the safety<br />

break is for everyone. Lifeguards will remain on the lifeguard stand<br />

during this break, to ensure the pool is vacant.<br />

CHILD SAFETY POLICY<br />

Unfortunately, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death<br />

for children 1 to 4 years of age. Most cases are a result of little or no<br />

supervision, access to a swimming pool or water front and can even<br />

occur in a bathtub. As your pool management company, Malibu Aquatics<br />

wants to create a safe environment for the children of your community.<br />

We will implement our Child Safety Policy at your swimming pools for the<br />

<strong>2020</strong> swim season. This policy will improve accountability, create awareness<br />

and ensure that every child is safe when visiting community pools.<br />

The Child Safety Policy will be executed with the following rules:<br />

• Children 48 inches and under in height entering the swimming pool<br />

area will be required to wear a wristband issued by the lifeguards.<br />

• A red wristband indicates that the child has NOT passed a Swim Test<br />

administered by the lifeguards. Children with a red wristband are issued a<br />

lifejacket that must be worn at all times. If the guardian elects to not have<br />

the child wear a lifejacket, the guardian is then required to be within arm’s<br />

length of the child at ALL times. The guardian is also issued a red wristband.<br />

• A green wristband indicates that the child has passed a Swim Test.<br />

Once a child has passed the Swim Test, the child’s name will be added to<br />

our Child Safety Log. Each visit to the pool, the child will need to give the<br />

lifeguard their name and a green wristband will be issued. Children on<br />

the Safety Log are not required to wear a lifejacket or to be within arm’s<br />

reach of their guardian.<br />

• The Swim Test consists of swimming one length of the pool unassisted.<br />

This includes no aid from flotation devices, the lane ropes, pool walls or<br />

the bottom of the pool.<br />

• Any child on the Child Safety Log can be asked to perform a Swim Test<br />

again, should the lifeguards on duty feel the child’s swimming ability has<br />

diminished.<br />

(MN) CRIME WATCH<br />

The <strong>Copperfield</strong> Villages monthly Crime Watch meeting has been<br />

converted to a ‘virtual’ delivery of the crime watch statistics monthly due<br />

to the low turnout at meetings and lack of an interest from the public to<br />

attend. Sergeant Lightfoot (HCSO) is posting monthly data via Nextdoor.<br />

com along with notable arrest info and tips monthly.<br />

(NM) DEED RESTRICTIONS ISSUES<br />

Educate yourself with the deed restrictions for our community. They are<br />

available for reading or download on the community website, under<br />

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

common issues are yard issues, stored vehicles, fences with missing<br />

pickets, houses needing painting or power washing on the exterior.<br />

(NM) DOG LEASH LAW<br />

There have been many complaints about dogs are running loose in the<br />

neighborhood. If this is the case, call animal control! If you are walking<br />

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

and also against Harris County Leash Law. Be considerate of others. Many<br />

children are afraid of animals and also people in the neighborhood do<br />

not appreciate dogs running around loose in their lawns. Please pickup<br />

after your dogs, no one wants to step in your dog’s poop.<br />

(NM) SUGGESTIONS AND TIPS ON HOW TO<br />

PROPERLY NUMBER YOUR HOME<br />

Believe it or not, a large number of house numbers are not visible from<br />

the street during the daytime. It’s even worse at night. A badly displayed<br />

number can hinder the police, ambulance and fire department in the<br />

event of an emergency.<br />

Street curb - The number should be painted about two feet from the<br />

driveway in the direction of the house. Most paintings are inexpensive. If<br />

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

traffic. Black numbers painted on white background are excellent. They<br />

are clearly visible from a distance even with very little light.<br />

House - The best place is near the front door and within the radius of the<br />

porch light. Above the front door is usually a good spot. Any location<br />

close to the door and above eye level is good.<br />

• Trees and bushes must not block the view from the road. Avoid having it<br />

away from the front door, such as over the garage door.<br />

• Pick a color that has a light and dark contrast with the background. The<br />

background is usually the color of the house. This will make the number<br />

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

color, you need a number in a light color. If your house has a light color,<br />

get a dark color number. For example, a black number is perfect on a<br />

white house. A white number will show clearly on a brick house.<br />

SOUTHCREEK VILLAGE<br />

(SC) EGRETS AND HERONS<br />

The snowy egrets and black-billed night herons are coming to your<br />

neighborhood and we need considerable homeowner engagement<br />

to protect our community from the devastation they leave behind.<br />

The Southcreek Village HOA Board of Directors is consulting with<br />

Southdown Village HOA to deter invasive heronries such as can be found<br />

at Southdown Village’s pool area and previously around Middlegate<br />

Village’s pool area. This summer small numbers of them nested in<br />

the Autumn Laurel Pool park, in trees along Royal Gardens Road and<br />

especially around the gazebo in Signal Creek Park. These birds are<br />

generally protected under state and federal law and legally cannot be<br />

harassed when nesting, especially when eggs and young are in the nest.<br />

We need to start organizing ourselves for mobilization of our community<br />

for volunteers to make noise and operate other deterrents at the pool<br />

<strong>March</strong> <strong>2020</strong> | <strong>Copperfield</strong>


park. We are asking if you have trees with their nests please remove the<br />

nest. Being pro-active can prevent considerable damage to our property,<br />

parks and pools. These birds caused considerable damage and expense<br />

to Southdown pool area last year. See information and tips under CCA at<br />

the front of the newsletter.<br />

(SC) STREET PARKING<br />

Please be courteous to your neighbors when street parking. Do not<br />

obstruct driveways or sidewalks. Should you need to briefly park a trailer<br />

in the street, please make sure it’s not obstructing anyone’s access to<br />

their driveway. As a reminder, it is prohibited to street park commercial<br />

vehicles in Southcreek - this includes, but is not limited to, semi-trailer<br />

trucks and heavy equipment vehicles.<br />

If a vehicle has been parked in the street and left with outdated tags it is<br />

considered abandoned and will be towed.<br />

(SC) BOARD MEETINGS<br />

<strong>Copperfield</strong> Southcreek Board meetings are on the third Thursday of<br />

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

for a recap on events impacting Southcreek. This is a public forum where<br />

you can ask any questions or express any concerns to the Southcreek<br />

HOA Board.<br />

(SC) HOA DUES<br />

Friendly reminder! Your HOA dues help keep Southcreek looking like as<br />

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

yet done so.<br />

(SC) HARRIS COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT.<br />

See something fishy going on the neighborhood? Report any suspicious<br />

activity to the Harris County Sheriff’s non-emergency line at 713-221-<br />

6000. Remember, the patrolling Sheriff’s deputies depend on us as much<br />

as we depend on them.<br />

(SC) TRASH DAYS<br />

Please be courteous to your neighbors and do not block the sidewalks<br />

with trashcans, debris or vehicles. It creates a safety hazard because<br />

walkers are forced to walk in the street. Violations can be issued for<br />

blocking sidewalks. Also, please store all coolers, trashcans etc. behind<br />

your fence, not so your neighbor can see them.<br />

(SC) DEED RESTRICTION LETTERS<br />

Please do not ignore deed restriction letters sent to your residence<br />

about deed restriction violations. Doing so can subject the property<br />

owner to a $35 charge per CERTIFIED letter if not settled by the<br />

homeowner in the time noted in the letter. Associa (PMG) manages this<br />

process and should be contacted If you require assistance in complying.<br />

Associa (PMG) will work with you to get the violation resolved, IN<br />

ACCORDANCE WITH THE COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICITONS<br />

EVERY HOMEOWNER AGREED TO ABIDE BY, SOME VIOLATIONS CAN BE<br />

CURED VIA THE ASSOCIATIONS SELF HELP RESTRICTION. The Association<br />

can hire a contractor to repair THESE VIOLATIONS and charge THE COST<br />

OF THIS SERVICE charged back to the Home Owner.<br />

The South Creek Village Community Association takes these violations<br />

very seriously and strives to keep up the Southcreek standards for<br />

attractive, well maintained homes. If you should receive a violation,<br />

please take this seriously and CORRECT the violation. If the violation<br />

is not CORRECTED, the Southcreek Village Community Association<br />

will BE FORCED to turn it over to its legal representatives. Once that<br />

happens all future expenses are born by the homeowner. There is<br />

a charge of $125 AND UP FOR EACH LETTER. Please note that The<br />

Southcreek Village Community Association does not want to make<br />

the violations public. We are here to protect everybody’s property<br />

values. Please don’t disregard the letters, work with us to maintain<br />

property values and to keep Southcreek looking great, a place where<br />

everyone wants to live.<br />

SOUTHDOWN VILLAGE<br />

(SD) ANNUAL EASTER EGG HUNT<br />

Please join us for the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the pool park area (7531<br />

Club Lake) on Saturday, April 11 th , 10:30 AM. Besides the main event<br />

we will also have a bounce house and petting zoo this year!<br />

To our community business owners, we are looking for donations for<br />

raffle prizes - please contact Susan McLeroy, Social Committee Chairman<br />

directly at susan.mcleroy@garygreene.com if you can help out. We also<br />

need volunteers to assist on the day of the event; high school students<br />

can get some community service hours for helping out. Volunteers can<br />

contact Susan as well.<br />

(SD) COMMUNITY GARAGE SALES<br />

The Southdown Village Community Association will hold two community<br />

wide garage sales in <strong>2020</strong> - April 25th and October 10 th . Owners can<br />

participate in their own driveways. Any signs placed in the community<br />

must be put out and taken down the day of the event and all items not<br />

sold stored out of view the same day. Please note that these are the only<br />

two times that garage sales will be permitted in the community.<br />

Always take safety precautions when hosting a garage sale. Have multiple<br />

adults working the garage sale, lock the doors to your home, close your<br />

garage door and wear an apron or a smock to hold your change instead<br />

of using a cash box.<br />

(SD) MIGRATORY BIRD ADVISORY<br />

Egrets, herons and other migratory birds are protected by international<br />

treaty and it’s illegal for residents to harass or harm the birds once they lay<br />

eggs. Therefore, because the condition of nesting areas creates extremely<br />

unattractive and unsanitary conditions that can have a negative impact<br />

on property values, we want all of the community to be aware of the<br />

issue so that the birds’ return can be prevented this coming spring. If<br />

you are interested in participating on the Bird Prevention Committee to<br />

plan for the <strong>2020</strong> spring season at the swimming pool area, please email<br />

creyes@grahammanagementhouston.com.<br />

See information and tips under CCA at the front of the newsletter.<br />

(SD) ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS<br />

Assessments are now past due. Payments received after January 31 st<br />

have incurred a late fee penalty and interest. Assessments may be paid<br />

online through the link on the Graham Management website at www.<br />

grahammanagementhouston.com/paydues.asp.<br />

(SD) HOME ARCHITECTURAL CHANGES<br />

must be obtained prior to any changes or improvements made to the<br />

exterior of your property, including but not limited to: repainting, roofing,<br />

door/window replacement, siding replacement and major landscaping.<br />

ARC application forms can be obtained or submitted on the website:<br />

www.southdownvillage.nabrnetwork.com.<br />

(SD) CRIME WATCH COMMITTEE<br />

BLOCK CAPTAINS NEEDED<br />

Why do we need Block Captains? Do they bring value to our sense of<br />

security? Do they enhance the security of our immediate neighborhood?<br />

Here is an example, presented by a Block Captain, of a set of events exactly<br />

as they transpired. Read on and make your own determination. This past<br />

holiday season, an ideal time for those with nefarious intentions to go<br />

around looking for packages belonging to others, a neighbor contacted<br />

his block captain and informed him of a suspicious vehicle driving around<br />

the neighborhood. The Block Captain immediately informed all on his<br />

block to be on the lookout. At least a couple of neighbors indicated that<br />

they were out of town and would appreciate it if some packages they<br />

were expecting were retrieved. Everybody looked out for each other and<br />

nothing worth reporting happened. Be a Block Captain - your neighbors<br />

will appreciate it and you will all be the safer for it. Contact njchaney@<br />

sbcglobal.net if you would like more information about becoming a<br />

Block Captain.<br />

Remember “If you see something, say something.” Call the Sheriff’s Office<br />

to report any suspicious activity - 713-221-6000.<br />

sheriff’s deputy to stop by and check on your home. To request a deputy<br />

1) log onto <strong>Copperfield</strong>.org; 2) select Crime Watch and finally 3) select<br />

forms - CCW Vacation Watch. Remember also to be a good neighbor and<br />

report suspicious activity by calling the sheriff’s non-emergency number<br />

Meetings - 2 nd Monday of every month at 6:30 PM<br />

Location - Forest Heights Pool Meeting Room<br />

The Westcreek Landscape Committee generally meets on the 2 nd Monday<br />

every month. If you are interested in helping make a difference in our<br />

neighborhood and would like to become part of the group, we welcome<br />

and encourage your attendance and hope to see you there - there is<br />

landscape topics are always welcome. The Landscape Committee at<br />

LandscapeWestcreek@gmail.com. A member will then get back with you<br />

EASTER EGG HUNT:<br />

We desperately need a chairperson for our very<br />

successful Spring event. We have several volunteers,<br />

but we can’t sponsor this event without a chairperson.<br />

Contact any landscape member or Graham<br />

Management for more details.<br />

OH NO, THE BIRDS:<br />

Spring is here and we are asking all residents to keep an eye out for the<br />

Herons and Egrets. Prior articles have been written in the <strong>Copperfield</strong><br />

Newsletter and in the individual articles for each village. To repeat, if<br />

these birds make a nest in our community it will require pool and park<br />

closures and a tremendous expense of our HOA funds to clean up their<br />

mess. Please be a good neighbor and report to Graham if you see these<br />

birds in our parks, cul de sacs or in individual yards. The trees in both<br />

parks will be trimmed in order to discourage the nesting, as will trees<br />

along Forest Heights.<br />

BOARD APPROVES <strong>2020</strong>-2021<br />

INSTRUCTIONAL CALENDAR<br />

The CFISD Board of Trustees approved the calendar committee’s<br />

recommendations for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 instructional calendar during<br />

its regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, January 16 th . State law<br />

mandates that instruction for the school year may not begin before<br />

the fourth Monday in August. For the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 instructional year, the<br />

earliest start date is August 24 th , which will serve as the first day of school.<br />

In the fall semester of 2019, a calendar committee was organized to<br />

develop a calendar for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year. The committee was<br />

made up of district-wide representation, including teachers, parents,<br />

community members, campus administrators and support staff. The<br />

committee worked to construct the calendar using the 75,600 minutes<br />

needed to complete a school year required by law. The committee<br />

recommended a calendar to the school Board that will conclude the<br />

<strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year on May 27, 2021. In its meetings, the committee<br />

discussed various components of developing the instructional calendars<br />

before arriving at a consensus.<br />

The <strong>2020</strong>-2021 calendar recommendation presented to the Board of<br />

Trustees included: students begin school on Monday, August 24, <strong>2020</strong>;<br />

Labor Day, September 7, <strong>2020</strong>, is a student/staff holiday; the calendar has<br />

a five-day Thanksgiving holiday (November 23-27, <strong>2020</strong>); a 10-day winter<br />

break is scheduled for students (December 21, <strong>2020</strong>-January. 4, 2021); a<br />

five-day spring break is scheduled for <strong>March</strong> 15-19, 2021; Good Friday,<br />

April 2, 2021, is a student/staff holiday; the school year will end on May<br />

provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance to dogs of<br />

law enforcement and related agencies throughout the United States. The<br />

On January 15 th , Patriot Hall was transformed into a colonial parlor as the time period came<br />

to life in our first annual 5 th Grade Colonial Feast and Ball. Students feasted on roasted<br />

chicken, succotash, Johnny cakes, bread with butter they made themselves from cream,<br />

beans, corn and ginger beer. They invited 6 th grade to participate in activities with them like<br />

dipping candles, writing with real turkey quills, wax seals, making silhouettes, whirligigs<br />

and paper dolls, as well as some games like Othello, checkers and jump rope. At the ball<br />

they sipped on hot chocolate and munched on desserts before they learned to dance the<br />

Minuet. ‘Twas a splendid day!<br />

favorite place to be! Science<br />

SCOUTS<br />

Troop 113004 obtained plastic bags to be converted to “plarn” (plastic yarn) to make mats for the homeless in our community. They worked with a local church<br />

with access to homeless organizations to teach members how to make the mats to be provided to those in need in our community. That’s what I call Girl Scouts<br />

with a vision, finding solutions to problems in the Community. Way to go girls!!!<br />

GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL/COPPER CREEK MEADOWS COMMUNITY-COOKIES COMING SOON!<br />

Girl Scouts will be out and about selling cookies through <strong>March</strong> 22 nd . Eager Girl Scouts will be going door to door and holding cookie booths to fund<br />

their adventures! Please purchase a box (or 4) and help them reach their goals.<br />

COOKIES POWER AMAZING ADVENTURES FOR GIRLS<br />

When you buy a box of delicious Girl Scout Cookies, you’re powering amazing, year-round experiences for every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risktaker,<br />

Leader) extraordinaire in your community who sells them-that’s right, proceeds stay local and are reinvested in girls! Big picture: as a cookie<br />

customer, you’re actually helping the next generation of female entrepreneurs get an important taste of what it takes to be successful-teamwork,<br />

planning and a positive outlook. Beyond that, you’re actually narrowing the gender gap in entrepreneurship by nurturing girls’ skills early and often.<br />

How awesome is that? Girl Scouting is open to all girls ages 5 (must be in kindergarten) through 18 who are willing to accept the Girl Scout Promise<br />

and law. Copper Creek Meadows Community serves girls in the residence areas for the elementary schools listed below, as well as the corresponding<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 SCOUT TROOP 838<br />

Troop 838 is a small pack located near Hwy 6 and West Road at the<br />

Crossbridges Church. We are between the <strong>Copperfield</strong> and Aberdeen<br />

neighborhoods. Being a smaller troop allows us to be flexible and address<br />

the needs of our scouts more nimbly. We currently have boys from ages 11<br />

to 17 within our group working to make Eagle. We try to camp monthly,<br />

with a wide variety of locations on our agenda. The different locations are<br />

chosen by the senior boys to more directly meet our training needs and<br />

to keep expenses low. In fact, we have some of the lowest expenses in the<br />

area. Our adult leaders are all experienced with years of scouting under<br />

their belt per individual. We also work closely with several local packs of<br />

cub scouts and participate in civic duties around the area as well. Please<br />

contact us at TROOP838CYPRESS.ORG or 414-331-3321.<br />

TROOP 1865<br />

Troop 1865 runs a diverse program of outdoor and service activities,<br />

with events selected by the scouts themselves. We meet Mondays at 6:30<br />

PM, at the <strong>Copperfield</strong> HOA building on Willow River and Hwy 6, behind<br />

Labay. We’ve gone backpacking through the National Forest, rappelling<br />

off Enchanted Rock, Survival camping, boating, canoeing and anything<br />

else the scouts can dream up. We do high-adventure camping at<br />

Philmont and Seabase. Our advancement program has enabled scout to<br />

achieve the coveted rank of Eagle Scout at 10 times the national average<br />

rate. We see scouting as a practice run on adult life. Scouts learn about<br />

leadership and teamwork through having to work together in the field.<br />

We learn about responsibility through fund-raising activities that have<br />

allowed the entire troop to pay for their own summer camp each year.<br />

CUB SCOUT PACK 2<br />

We are an active year round pack for Kindergarten-5 th grade that focuses on<br />

life skills, teamwork, leadership and FUN! Cub Scout activities include camping,<br />

fishing, pinewood derby, hiking and much more! During the school year we meet<br />

on the 3 rd Monday of each month at 7 PM at Birkes Elementary in the cafeteria.<br />

Contact me for more information and to find out what exciting activities we have<br />

planned for summer! Ame Lane-281-740-5020, ame.lane@yahoo.com.<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 skills,<br />

outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives The Boy<br />

Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities that allow<br />

them to: • Try new things. • Provide service to others. • Build self-confidence. •<br />

Reinforce ethical standards.. Scouting provides youth with a sense that they<br />

are important as individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal<br />

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

be made, 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 />

<strong>March</strong> Gardening Tips<br />

VEGETABLES<br />

• Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans and<br />

pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, cantaloupe, okra<br />

(if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or higher), southern<br />

peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and watermelon.<br />

LAWN<br />

• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this part of<br />

Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).<br />

• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY<br />

the variety Floratam for best pest resistance. See www.plantanswers.<br />

com/grass.htm.<br />

TREES AND SHRUBS<br />

• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible. In<br />

shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a<br />

dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or<br />

one of the prostrate junipers.<br />

• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early <strong>March</strong>.<br />

However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have<br />

bloomed.<br />

• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer<br />

analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square<br />

feet of garden planting area. Early <strong>March</strong> is the ideal time to fertilize<br />

landscape plants because you give them food just before the spring<br />

growing season starts.<br />
