(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.<br />
For laws pertaining to pets in unincorporated Harris County, review<br />
regulations http://publichealth.harriscountytx.gov/Resources/Animalsand-Pets/AnimalLaws/AnimalRegulations#section4.<br />
Call 281-999-3191<br />

WCA and provide your email address. Phone: 281-368-8397 Email:<br />
CSHouston@wcamerica.com.<br />
At WCA, our highest priority continues to be the health and well-being<br />
of our customers and staff during an evolving situation. Recently, we<br />
learned that one of our drivers has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.<br />
As a precaution, the helpers and other drivers who have been in close<br />
contact with this driver have been quarantined.<br />
How Will This Affect Your Service? WCA provides an essential service<br />
for the Houston Metroplex and our mission is to provide the best service<br />
possible to our communities. For now, our priority will shift to collect the<br />
putrescible waste first. This is the material that begins to breakdown and<br />
decompose first in the Houston heat.<br />
This means that residents need to separate their putrescible waste from<br />
their bulk waste to ensure proper and timely collection. A two-bag<br />
maximum for bulk, per home, will be picked on your scheduled service<br />
day. WCA/VF Waste Services will not be collecting carpet or construction<br />
materials as regular collection related to this event.<br />
Recycle Services: Until further notice, we are suspending recycle service<br />
for the greater Houston area.<br />
Back Door Services: Until further notice, WCA is requesting that<br />
communities receiving backdoor service, under normal conditions, bring<br />
their containers curbside for the remainder of this event.<br />

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Panhandlers and<br />
solicitation is becoming a more frequent issue through<br />
out <strong>Copperfield</strong> and surrounding neighborhoods! It<br />
is important that you keep safe by locking your doors<br />
and vehicles to prevent any theft or break-ins! You<br />
can put a “no trespassing” sign in front of your home<br />
so the law can enforce it on your property.<br />

MIDDLEGATE VILLAGE<br />
(MG) MIDDLEGATE TRIVIA<br />
Middlegate is one of seven villages within <strong>Copperfield</strong>. Middlegate has<br />
791 homes and reach-es to Horsepen Creek on its south border and up to<br />
West Road and a portion of Northmead on its north side. At the western<br />
border is Copper Village and to the east is Highway 6. Middlegate is served<br />
by two county water districts, MUD 162 and MUD 163. The Middlegate<br />
Village Community Association is a non profit corporation and it provides<br />
many services including common area maintenance and deed restriction<br />
enforcement. Each home-owner pays an annual assessment to defray<br />
the operating costs of the Association. Prior to 1985, Friendswood<br />
Development Company controlled the operation of the Middlegate<br />
Village Community Association. In March 1985, Friendswood turned the<br />
operation of the Community Association over to the residents.<br />

(MG) MUD DISTRICTS IN MIDDLEGATE<br />
Did you know that two MUDS serve homes within Middlegate? Your<br />

Let us find you the perfect<br />
house/condo/townhouse/new construction home!<br />
H2O Consulting is the operator that services MUD #162. Call H2O<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 />
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: Unfortunately, drowning is the leading cause of<br />
accidental death for children 1 to 4 years of age. Most cases are a result<br />
of little or no supervision, access to a swimming pool or water front and<br />
can even occur in a bathtub. As your pool management company, Malibu<br />

<strong>May</strong> <strong>2020</strong> | <strong>Copperfield</strong>
Aquatics wants to create a safe environment for the children of your<br />
community. We will implement our Child Safety Policy at your swimming<br />
pools for the <strong>2020</strong> swim season. This policy will improve accountability,<br />
create awareness and ensure that every child is safe when visiting<br />
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<br />
a lifejacket that must be worn at all times. If the guardian elects to not<br />
have the child wear a lifejacket, the guardian is then required to be within<br />
arm’s length of the child at ALL times. The guardian is also issued a red<br />
wristband.<br />
• A green wristband indicates that the child has passed a Swim Test. Once<br />
a child has passed the Swim Test, the child’s name will be added to our<br />
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 life jacket 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<br />
TO 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<br />
the 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 />

(SC) FROM THE BOARD<br />
Dear neighbors,<br />
During this COVID-19 pandemic we ask that each of you continue to take<br />
care of yourselves and each other and continue to follow the suggested<br />
policies:<br />
1. Keeping social distance. No social gatherings for now and keep a<br />
distance of 6 feet or more when around others.<br />
2. Staying home as much as possible.<br />
3. Get the supplies you need without hording supplies that others may<br />
also need.<br />
4. Be extra patient with each other and show love and compassion at all<br />
times.<br />
This is a time for us all to come together as a neighborhood and as a<br />
Nation. Together we will overcome. Your SCHOA Board is working hard<br />
to help ensure that all the duties and functions of your HOA are still<br />
operating and in place during this time. All normal business is still being<br />
taken care of in a safe and practical manner. We are, as always, willing to<br />
help and work with all homeowners who may have issues or hardship. If<br />
you have any Association issue, deed restriction violation or other, please<br />
feel free to call our Association Manager at 713-329-7153. We stand with<br />
you, our neighbor, as we all navigate our way in this difficult time. Our<br />
thoughts, heart and prayers are over each of you.<br />
Sincerely, Your Board of Directors<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 />
<strong>May</strong> <strong>2020</strong> | <strong>Copperfield</strong>
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 />
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 about<br />
deed restriction violations. Doing so can subject the property owner to<br />
a $35 charge per CERTIFIED letter if not settled by the homeowner in the<br />
time noted in the letter. Associa (PMG) manages this process and should<br />
be contacted If you require assistance in complying. Associa (PMG) will<br />
work with you to get the violation resolved, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE<br />
COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICITONS EVERY HOMEOWNER<br />
AGREED TO ABIDE BY, SOME VIOLATIONS CAN BE CURED VIA THE<br />
ASSOCIATIONS SELF HELP RESTRICTION. The Association can hire a<br />
contractor to repair THESE VIOLATIONS and charge THE COST OF THIS<br />
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 is<br />
not CORRECTED, the Southcreek Village Community Association will BE<br />
FORCED to turn it over to its legal representatives. Once that happens<br />
all future expenses are born by the homeowner. There is a charge of<br />
$125 AND UP FOR EACH LETTER. Please note that The Southcreek Village<br />

SOUTHDOWN VILLAGE NEWS<br />
(SD) SOUTHDOWN CRIME WATCH COMMITTEE<br />
NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS - THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER<br />
TIME THAN NOW. Our Southdown Community is going above and<br />
beyond during the COVID - 19 pandemic. Here are a few examples of how<br />
neighbors who know each other come together to help our Southdown<br />
Community with good deeds and acts of kindness.<br />
Supporting our Deputies • Donated bags of individually packaged<br />
snacks and delivered to the satellite offices at the Community Center.<br />
• Purchased gift cards from close-by fast food restaurants where deputies<br />
can drive through and pick up a meal.<br />
Bringing a Smile to our Neighbors • One aspiring artist painted rocks<br />
and dropped them on neighbor’s curbs.<br />
• A Sharing Box (like the little Library) was placed near the mailboxes so<br />
that neighbors can take or add books, puzzles and games.<br />
• Making a daily telephone call to check on a neighbor who lives alone.<br />
Staying Busy<br />
• A walking group that looks like a parade coming down the street as they<br />
practice social distancing.<br />
• Printing out and leaving the new WCA guidelines for trash pickup and<br />
recycling on each recycling bin.<br />
Our Southdown Community is a great place to live. There has never been<br />
a better time than now to get to know your neighbors!<br />
(SD) POOL INFO<br />

Meetings - 3 rd Monday at 6 PM | Forest Heights Pool Meeting Room<br />

CRIME WATCH TIPS<br />
The key to an effective crime watch program is to communicate - simply<br />
knowing your neighbors and talking. Always let a trusted neighbor know<br />
when you are on vacation or out of town for a long period. When you<br />
are away from home, these simple, preventative measures help prevent<br />
home burglaries: 1) always set your burglar alarm; 2) install keyed dead<br />
locks and don’t leave the key in the deadbolt lock; 3) install motion-sensor<br />
lights; 4) don’t hide a spare key anywhere that can be easily discovered;<br />
5) stop the mail or ask a friend to get it; 6) provide less hiding spaces for<br />
burglars by following the 3/6 rule where shrubs are trimmed in front of<br />
the house no higher than 3 feet from the ground and trim trees so that<br />
the lowest branches are at least 6 feet up; 7) lock up ladders and tools that<br />
could be used to break in; 8) leave a radio on turned to a talk show station;<br />
9) put lamps on a timer; 10) turn down the phone’s ringer; 11) bolt down<br />
safes so they can’t be picked up and carried out; 12) hide valuables in a<br />
hollowed out book or a fake wall outlet and 13) consider placing safety<br />
film over windows near door handles to make glass hard to smash.<br />
BLOCK CAPTAINS & NATIONAL NIGHT OUT (NNO)<br />
Westcreek still needs block captains. If you want to know if your street<br />
has a block captain or you would like to volunteer to be a block captain,<br />
contact Larry Berger at lberger@comcast.net. Our crime watch committee<br />
is already planning the <strong>2020</strong> National Night Out, which occurs the first<br />
Tuesday in October. If you would like more information about NNO in<br />
Westcreek or if you would be interested in hosting a gathering for NNO,<br />
please contact Larry Berger.<br />
WESTCREEK LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE<br />

and encourage your attendance and hope to see you there - there is<br />
always room for you! Contrary to popular opinions we do not do the<br />
manual labor! We are a friendly group of decision makers!<br />
Comments, suggestions or questions regarding common areas or other<br />
landscape topics are always welcome. The Landscape Committee at<br />

OH! NO! The Birds:<br />
The HOA has contracted with a professional to trim the trees at both<br />
Forest Heights and Hudson Oaks park. This trimming is to remove the<br />
dense canopy, which appears to be appealing for the nesting of herons<br />
and egrets. Please continue to monitor your neighborhoods for possible<br />
nesting for at least another month.<br />
Please Be a Good Neighbor: The Landscape Committee would like to thank<br />
all who volunteered for both the Easter Egg Hunt and the Community<br />
Planting. Though both events had to be cancelled, our appreciation to all<br />
who agreed to assist with these events. Thanks to the person(s) who have<br />
planted inspirational rocks along the walkways.<br />

bring a backpack and a lunch as they enjoy each other and the special<br />
things they will do during the week. We look forward to having your<br />
child at camp this summer! It’s a great time for everyone and you don’t<br />

The iWRITE Organization will host Creative Writing & Illustration Summer<br />
Camps around the Houston area, allowing young writers to bring their<br />
stories to life! iWRITE was founded ten years ago by children’s author,<br />

young writers can learn straight from the pros!<br />
The iWRITE summer camps and workshops will be held in June and July<br />
in the Cypress, Spring Branch and Ft. Bend areas with opportunities for<br />
kids ages 8 to 16 years old. Students will learn character development<br />
skills that can be used in all types of writing, how authors brainstorm and<br />
turn ideas into a story, how illustrators bring characters to life through<br />
art, fun editing techniques and even how to get your work published.<br />

Buttermilk Biscuits<br />
You could make this on National Buttermilk Biscuits Day <strong>May</strong> 14th!<br />
Garlic Shrimp Scampi<br />
You could make this on National Shrimp Day <strong>May</strong> 10th!<br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta<br />
1/2 cup butter<br />
2 cloves garlic, sliced<br />
1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined<br />
1/3 cup white wine<br />
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs<br />
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan<br />
cheese<br />
DIRECTIONS:Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add angel hair pasta<br />
and return pot to boil. Cook until al dente. Drain well. In a large saucepan, melt<br />
butter, saute garlic until tender, remove garlic and discard. Add shrimp and cook<br />
until colored pink. Stir in white wine. The bread crumbs are used as thickening,<br />
so stir in a little at a time until desired thickness is reached. Serve shrimp over<br />
angel hair pasta, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. http://allrecipes.com/<br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
4 cups all-purpose flour<br />
1 teaspoon salt<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1 teaspoon cream of tartar<br />
4 teaspoons baking powder<br />
1 cup lard<br />
2 cups buttermilk<br />
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Whisk together<br />
flour, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar and baking powder. Cut lard into flour<br />
mixture using a pastry blender until crumbly; stir in buttermilk. Turn mixture<br />
onto a floured surface and knead just a few times to form a moist dough. Roll<br />
dough out 1-inch thick; cut biscuits with a cookie cutter or round glass. Place<br />
biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until tops<br />
are golden, about 12 minutes. http://allrecipes.com/<br />
Gardening Tips For <strong>May</strong><br />
Warm weather means our gardens and landscapes are<br />
growing fast. Here are some tasks to keep your landscape<br />
beautiful and productive:<br />
Flowers: Time to plant summer blooming perennials and<br />
annuals including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane,<br />
lobularia, sunflowers, yellow bells, pride of Barbados,<br />
duranta and bat-faced cuphea.<br />
Vegetables: <strong>May</strong> is a great time to plant, from seed or<br />
nursery plants, okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter<br />
squash, pumpkins, basil, peppers, lima beans, eggplant,<br />
garlic chives and Malabar greens. If you don’t want to<br />
dedicate an area of your yard, consider planting here and<br />
there in your flowerbeds. Edible landscaping is a popular<br />
new trend!<br />
Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge<br />
or straight sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know how long to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”.<br />
Weeding: Hand pull or hoe weeds while they are still young or better yet, maintain a 3” layer of mulch in all vegetable and flowerbeds to<br />
deter weeds from getting a start.<br />
Pruning: Remove spent blooms on spring and summer annuals to promote new blooms.<br />
Fertilizing: Fertilize flowerbeds and vegetable gardens w/slow release organic fertilizer.<br />
Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent light sprinkling.<br />
Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-<strong>May</strong>. Clean bird feeders! Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito breeding spots.<br />
