(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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
Outside in God’s creation is our<br />
favorite place to be! Science<br />
lessons come alive while<br />
gardening in our beautiful<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 />

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 />

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 />
