GRAFFITI<br />
From Board Members of WCID #145<br />
Graffiti is a problem in our neighborhoods. Just in the first 3 1/2 months<br />
of <strong>2020</strong>, over $5,500 has been spent removing and/or applying a surface<br />
that makes removal easier. It has appeared under bridges, on retainer<br />
walls and on the trails themselves. Some are symbols, some are offensive.<br />
According, to state law regarding vandalism and intentionally painting<br />
on property:<br />
Class “C” - misdemeanor if the pecuniary loss is less than $100.<br />
Class “B” - $100 or more but less than $750.<br />
Class “A” - $750 or more but less that $2,500.<br />
Anything above this amount is considered a felony. The graffiti removed<br />
from the trails in early April fell into the Class “A” category. The police are<br />
notified and/or a police report is filed with each incident.<br />
Please remind everyone, if caught, there will be ramifications and fines.<br />
Your tax dollars could be put to better use than rectifying the willful<br />
acts of a few individuals. The trails throughout <strong>Copperfield</strong> are for<br />
the enjoyment of all. Everyone should be able to utilize them without<br />
encountering offensive material. Each year the traffic on the trails<br />
increases. We would like it to be a pleasant experience. Thank you. “See<br />
Something - Say Something”<br />

(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 our<br />
neighborhood. The Egrets and Night Herons WILL be returning now!!<br />
Prevention is Crucial - Egrets, herons and other migratory birds are protected<br />
by Federal International Treaty, it’s illegal for residents to harass or harm the<br />
birds once they lay eggs. Residents will need to band together and drive<br />
them out of our neighborhood for the next several years. Preventing the<br />
birds from building nests on residential property or 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 children’s<br />
toys are effective. Make as much noise as possible aimed at the 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 />

VILLAGES OF COPPERFIELD NEWS<br />
COPPERFIELD PLACE VILLAGE<br />
(CPV) A WORD FROM THE BOARD<br />
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR HIGH SCHOOL<br />
AND COLLEGE GRADUATES!!!<br />
Despite all changes that you as high school and college seniors have been<br />
experiencing due to the Corona Virus, not attending school or seeing your<br />
friends and now facing the possibility ending your school year without a<br />
graduation ceremony; the Board and ALL our residents give you a BIG<br />
HURRAH for your great accomplishment! We know that the graduation<br />
ceremonies is a once in life time experience for you, family and friends<br />
to attend. Some schools may not be having ceremonies; and those that<br />
have set tentative dates to proceed will have limited attendance and or<br />
only virtual graduations due to this crisis. We admire you for all you stand<br />
for and we know that your dreams will still be accomplished. Even if your<br />
school selected not to have their live graduation ceremonies, let it be<br />
known that all your family and friends are very proud of you and wish<br />
each and everyone of you the best of luck!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!<br />
OTHER ISSUES AND NEWS<br />
The Board hopes that despite of the current health issue of the Corona<br />
Virus, we must continue to have faith that this will all eventually come to<br />
pass. Meanwhile, please try to abide by keeping our distances as required<br />
not only for our own benefit but for others whom we may come into<br />
contact with. We are all adults and responsible for our actions.<br />
Due to the matter at hand with the Corona Virus we have CLOSED all Common<br />
Areas or planned activities. This includes our Pool and Parks and Playground<br />
areas. We have taped the restricting entry to the park and playground area,<br />
but we continue to have it removed by non-abiding people. You can still<br />
walk on the sidewalks and the esplanades and we are still supplying doggie<br />
bags for you to walk your pets, therefore please be considerate of others.<br />
All of this will also be posted on SCS Go. If you have not signed up, do so. All info and<br />
special notices will be sent to you as they come about. This is NOT the Next-door<br />
Neighborhood application. This application is from our own SCS management.<br />
By now, you must have received an application form in the mail for your <strong>2020</strong><br />
Pool Registration for activation of your Pool Access Key Card. Along with<br />
this application you would have also received how to register into our new<br />
Online Portal. Contact SCS if you did not receive. This does not mean you will<br />
now have access to the pool. The pool will still remain closed until further<br />
notice. This is only so that you will have immediate access if it does open.<br />
It is important that you get involved in your community! Get the SCS<br />
GO app and sign up to receive notices on news, events, Board meeting<br />
reminders and much more for our community.<br />

MIDDLEGATE VILLAGE<br />
(MG) MIDDLEGATE HOA BOARD AND COMMITTEES<br />
For those homeowners who’d like to make decisions that impact<br />
Middlegate directly, take the steps to become a Board member. The HOA<br />
Board consists of five members. They meet to vote on matters that affect<br />
all of us in Middlegate. Committees advise the HOA. The Park and Pool<br />
committee members become familiar with the nuts and bolts of the parks<br />
and pool and make recommendations to the HOA Board. The newsletter<br />
committee provides stories and photos for the Middlegate column in the<br />
monthly <strong>Copperfield</strong> Community Newsletter. All committees are invited<br />
to attend regular Board meetings. Contact the management company<br />
to ask how to be nominated for an open Board position. Two positions<br />
will become available soon. If a committee is more to your liking, jump<br />
on Board. Let the management company know which one you want to<br />
contribute to.Your management company is SCS Management. Your<br />
Community Manager is Margie Naranjo. You can reach her at mnaranjo@<br />
scsmgmt.com and 281-500-7138.<br />
(MG) CONTINUE TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR<br />
We are all spending more time at home. Our houses now serve as home<br />
offices and home classrooms. Be cognizant of your behavior in proximity<br />
to the residents around you. Remember to pick up your dog’s poop<br />
promptly. Keep outside music and all noise to a reasonable level. Keep<br />
in mind that children nap and adults must sleep before and after work<br />
shifts. For safety and health reasons, do not burn trash in the backyard.<br />
Burning trash is not permitted in Middlegate. Be a good neighbor.<br />
(MG) IT’S A PROCESS TO OPEN POOL<br />
The Middlegate pool opening could be delayed after Harris County opens<br />
back up. The pool company must certify lifeguards and that schedule is<br />
uncertain. SCS will keep residents updated with pool opening news. SCS<br />
has started pool registration for Middlegate residents, so that wristbands<br />
can be made available. A current wristband is needed for pool access.<br />
Pool registration form went out in early May via US Mail. Same form<br />
posted on Middlegate website.<br />
(MG) UTILITY EASEMENTS AND MIDDLEGATE MUDS<br />
MUD operators and contractors work with the MUD districts to maintain<br />
services and to make needed water line and sewer repairs. You likely have<br />
seen their personnel at work on your street and maybe even in your yard.<br />
Did you know that utilities have a right to access the portion of your<br />
property which has been designated a utility easement? The existence of<br />
these easements doesn’t typically have much day-to-day effect.<br />
When you want to know where water and sewer utility easements are<br />
located on your property, call the MUD operator (see contact info later in<br />
story) or check the county records or refer to the survey of your property<br />
to review the easement locations.<br />
The Middlegate HOA does not govern the operations of the MUDs in<br />
Middlegate. Each MUD has its own Board of Directors.<br />
H2O Consulting is the operator that services MUD #162. Call H2O<br />
Consulting at 281-861-6215 for MUD 162; it’s a 24-hour service number.<br />
The Board of MUD 162 generally meets on the second Tuesday of the<br />
month at the offices of H2O Consulting office at 5870 Highway 6 North.<br />
The public is invited to attend Board meetings. See their website for<br />
meeting agenda and time at www.hcmud162.com/meetings.<br />
Inframark is the operator that services MUD #163. Call Inframark (Formerly<br />
Severn Trent) at 281-579-4500 for MUD 163. For after-hour emergencies,<br />
contact Inframark dispatch team at 281-398-8211. The Board of MUD 163<br />
generally meets the fourth Wednesday of the month at <strong>Copperfield</strong> Joint<br />
Operations Board Wastewater Treatment Plant at 7926 Highway 6 North.<br />

contacts listed on the TCEQ site.<br />

*SAFETY BREAKS”<br />
One ten-minute break will be taken at ten (10) minutes before the hour,<br />
every hour. This is to serve as a time of rest for our guests. This safety<br />
break is for everyone including adults. In the fair housing act, it states<br />
that it is age discrimination to not allow anyone under the age of 18 in<br />
the pool during this 10-minute break. For this reason, the safety break is<br />
for everyone. Lifeguards will remain on the lifeguard stand during this<br />
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 occur<br />
in a bathtub. As your pool management company, Malibu Aquatics wants<br />
to create a safe environment for the children of your community. We will<br />
implement our Child Safety Policy at your swimming pools for the <strong>2020</strong><br />
swim season. This policy will improve accountability, create awareness<br />
and ensure that every child is safe when visiting community pools. The<br />
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. • A<br />
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. • A green wristband indicates that the child has passed a Swim<br />
Test. Once a child has passed the Swim Test, the child’s name will be added<br />
to our Child Safety Log. Each visit to the pool, the child will need to give<br />
the lifeguard their name and a green wristband will be issued. Children<br />
on the Safety Log are not required to wear a lifejacket or to be within<br />
arm’s reach of their guardian. • The Swim Test consists of swimming one<br />
length of the pool unassisted. This includes no aid from flotation devices,<br />
the lane ropes, pool walls or the bottom of the pool. • Any child on the<br />
Child Safety Log can be asked to perform a Swim Test again, should the<br />
lifeguards on duty feel the child’s swimming ability has diminished.<br />

(NM) THE NORTHMEAD HOA BOARD NEEDS YOUR HELP!<br />
The Northmead HOA Board enjoys putting on our special events<br />
during the year like: Yard of the Month, Movie in the Park and Christmas<br />
Decorating Contest but we need volunteers! If you would like to volunteer<br />
please contact Teresa Prather at teresa_prather@yahoo.com.<br />
(NM) RULES FOR THE YARD OF THE MONTH CONTEST<br />
The Yard-Of-The-Month (YOM) program has been established to<br />
recognize the efforts of residents within Northmead Village, whether<br />
they are homeowners or tenants, who demonstrate a clear and<br />
consistent desire to maintain or improve their respective properties<br />
above normal expectations. The Northmead Village HOA would like to<br />
give you the recognition you deserve for creating a beautiful, well-kept<br />
yard. This is a great way to improve the value of your home and make<br />
our neighborhood a better place to live. RULES : YOM will be awarded<br />
for the months of May thru August. A separate award will be granted for<br />
the best decorated yard during the Holiday Season. The Committee will<br />
be around the neighborhood monthly to determine the winner of the<br />
YOM. Resident’s lawns will be judged the last week of the month prior to<br />
the awarded YOM, except for the Holiday judging which will be judged in<br />
December. Potential YOM winners are judged solely on the total exterior<br />
appearance of their property and front yard as viewed from the street.<br />
Please help us by have your house address visible as the judges view your<br />
homes. Properties may not win yard of the month more than once a year.<br />
The committee will notify the winner by mail and Nextdoor. Photos of the<br />
yard will be taken and published in the newsletter and website. Property<br />
owner must be in good standings with payments of dues.<br />

(NM) 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 />
SOUTHCREEK VILLAGE<br />
(SC) FROM THE BOARD<br />
We will always remember this time in our lives when the entire world<br />
came to a halt and together we have adjusted to a new normal. The<br />
global coronavirus pandemic problem affects every single one of us from<br />
students to senior adults to parents working from home coordinating<br />
online school assignments to strategizing where to find toilet paper. We<br />
are thankful for those working on the frontline helping us stay safe. Take<br />
time to thank first responders, health care workers and grocery store<br />
employees. You are heroes daily anyway, but you deserve an extra dose<br />
of appreciation as we battle this new enemy. Hopefully, our country has<br />
started to rebuild by the time this newsletter comes out.<br />
(SC) BEAUTIFICATION<br />
Southcreek HOA Board voted to pay to add flowers and fresh mulch to<br />
our entry into our community. Jessica Carey got with our landscapers<br />

JUNE IS NATIONAL CAMPING MONTH<br />
National Camping Month in <strong>June</strong> is an excellent time to pack up<br />
your gear and experience nature. Whether you like roughing it or<br />
prefer to have a few modern conveniences when heading out to<br />
the trail, it’s important to keep a few things in mind:<br />
1. Make sure you have plenty of fresh water or a fresh water source.<br />
2. Take a first aid kit and that it is stocked.<br />
3. Pack waterproof matches.<br />
4. Take non-perishable food such as granola bars, jerky, peanut<br />
butter, chocolate bars and dried fruits, especially if you are not<br />
taking a cooler.<br />
5. Pack fruits, vegetables and meats separately and keep chilled<br />
in a cooler.<br />
6. Include sunblock, even for cloudy days.<br />
7. Rain gear, jackets and blankets are necessary for cooler weather.<br />
Around the country, there are a variety of campsites available.<br />
The more modern campsite includes showers and recreational<br />
facilities. These often include water hookups and parking pads for<br />
RVs and campers and cabins to rent as well as more primitive sites<br />
with no electrical hookups designed for tent usage. Other parks<br />
only allow primitive camping and require everything you pack<br />
into the park to be packed out. So, seriously consider your needs<br />
if you are hiking into the park for your stay. These are not for the<br />
glampers.<br />
Gather family and friends, don’t forget the s’mores supply and<br />
go camping! Nature is calling and there are so many ways to<br />
enjoy a weekend or even more camping. National Camping<br />
Month has been observed since the 1970s. Source: https://<br />

Cheesy Potatoes on the Grill <br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
4 slices Bacon<br />
3 large Baking Potatoes<br />
1 large Onion, sliced<br />
1 cup processed Cheese, cubed<br />
1/2 tsp. Salt<br />
1/4 tsp. Black Pepper<br />
1/2 tsp. dried Parsley<br />
2 Tbs. Butter or Margarine<br />
1 Tbs. Bacon Drippings<br />
DIRECTIONS: In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, fry the bacon until<br />
crisp, reserving one tablespoon of the drippings. Drain the bacon on a paper<br />
towel and crumble when it’s cool enough to handle. Set aside.<br />
Peel and slice the potatoes, placing them on a 9-inch by 13-inch double-layer<br />
of aluminum foil as you go. Separate the sliced onion into rings, and layer them<br />
over the potato slices. Add the crumbled bacon bits, cheese, salt, pepper and<br />
parsley. Dot the potatoes with butter or margarine, and drizzle the bacon fat<br />
over the top of the mixture.<br />
Wrap the foil loosely around the potatoes, but make sure the ends are well<br />
sealed. Cook on the grill about 4 inches from the hot coals for about an hour,<br />
or until tender. Remember to turn the package often to keep the potatoes<br />
from burning. Serve warm from the grill. www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/<br />

WHAT’S THAT<br />
NET ON MY<br />
TREE TRUNK?<br />
By Deborah Birge, Fort<br />
Bend County Master<br />
Gardener<br />
If you see a net over<br />
your tree trunk, you’re<br />
the lucky winner of<br />
the Bark Lice Lottery!<br />
Bark lice are small,<br />
soft-bodied insects<br />
that live on hardwood<br />
trees, especially Live<br />
Oaks and sometimes<br />
on Pecans. Their<br />
webbing appears in<br />
midsummer and can<br />
cover a tree trunk and<br />
large branches very<br />
quickly. But don’t be<br />
alarmed - bark lice<br />
are a great clean-up crew feeding on fungi, bacteria, dead insects and<br />
lichens!<br />
Although some people think they’re unsightly, bark lice are highly<br />
beneficial and should be left alone. With the first fall frosts, they’ll begin<br />
to decline, along with their web.<br />
For more information about this fungus visit: aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/<br />

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT EARTH-KIND® LANDSCAPING?<br />
It’s about conserving water, reducing fertilizer and pesticide use, reducing<br />
landscape waste and more! Visit https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu for<br />
information about this environmentally-friendly landscaping technique.<br />
GARDEN TIPS FOR JUNE<br />
Lawns: Apply iron sulfate or chelete to St. Augustine grass lawns.<br />
• Mow St. Augustine to a 2-inch height now to protect roots from the sun.<br />
Never cut off more than a third of the leaf.<br />
• Continue treatment of lawns for chinch bug. As the temperature hits 80<br />
degrees, chinch bugs begin to reproduce in the hottest and driest part<br />
of the lawn, usually next to cement. Use diazinon or dursban granules.<br />
Flowers: Overwatered hibiscus, purslane and bougainvillea won’t bloom.<br />
• Keep flowers pinched off of coleus and caladiums to encourage more of<br />
the beautiful foliage.<br />
• Plants to set: Acalpha, Ageratum, Alternathera, Aspidistra, Artemisia,<br />
Balsam, Begonia, Chrysanthemum, Cockscomb, Coleus, Croton, Dusty<br />
Miller, Feverfew, Gaillardia, Geranium, Marigold, Petunia, Pinks, Portulaca,<br />
Salvia-red, Shrimp Plant, Torenia, Verbena and Vinca.<br />
Vegetables: A strong blast of water in the morning rids plants of most<br />
bugs for the rest of the day.<br />
• Vegetables to plant: Cantaloupe, Sweet Corn, Cucumber, Eggplant sets,<br />
Okra, Black Peas, Pepper Sets, Summer Squash and Sweet Potato.<br />
Shrubs: Watch Camellias and Azaleas, they’re setting their blooms now<br />
for next season. So give them a good mulch and plenty of water. Mulch<br />
well with oak leaves and/or pine needles to keep soil acidic. Benefits of<br />
Mulching: Mulching (organic or inorganic) is a layer of material on the<br />
surface of the soil around the plant. Mulches conserve water by reducing<br />
evaporation, insulates the soil and protects it from the drying wind and<br />
hot sun. Mulches break the force of rain and irrigation water and tend to<br />
prevent erosion, soil compaction, and crusting. Lastly, a 2-3 inch layer of<br />
mulch will almost eliminate weed problems.<br />
