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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Specific date, time and agenda can be requested by reaching out to the<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 />

<strong>June</strong> <strong>2020</strong> | <strong>Copperfield</strong>


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 />

galveston/weekly_Q&A/ts&p_14.htm. For more gardening information<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 />
