Thank you to the ladies and others who are serving 

in Leadership this year! 

OUR THEME THIS YEAR IS GATHER, GROW, GIVE & GO 

GATHER TOGETHER, 

GROW OUR SOULS, 

GIVE TO OUR COMMUNITY & 

GO SHOW BEAUTY EVERYDAY! 

GATHER TOGETHER! 

Let’s not give up meeting together. We have missed seeing everyone! 

We’ve had some things that have definitely made 2020 memorable or 

unforgettable - however you wish to look at it! But it’s so important for 

us to stay connected - we need to gather together obviously to the level 

of degree that you have comfort with! So I hope as time goes on we will 

be able to gather together for monthly meetings, field trips and service 

projects! 

GROW OUR SOULS! 

We love to plant, we love to create, we love to nurture, we love to care 

for each other, we love to learn and grow! Whether it’s planting, the 

environment, the fauna or our community, we are always growing and 

learning! 

GIVE TO OUR COMMUNITY! 

Hearthstone Garden Club has some pretty awesome people in it! And 

some of the most generous people I have ever met in my life! By being 

part of this club you are naturally a giver! You share your time, talents 

and treasures! You give plantings and seeds, you’re a shoulder to lean on, 

you’re a volunteer at school, you are a fundraiser to help bless college 

students with scholarships, you’re an avid learner and you teach others, 

you check on people, you bring meals and pick up things for those in 

need! 

GO SHOW BEAUTY EVERY DAY! 

We show beauty in our lives by being loving, by praying, by taking care 

of our families, by planting in our yards and homes, by being there in a 

moment of need, by sharing an encouraging word or hug and mostly by 

being part of the HGC! 

You can find us on Facebook here: 

www.facebook.com/groups/1469159636711294. 

We look forward to seeing you in person and virtually this year! Come 

join us!

REMINDER: 

Please be mindful of the Harris County Leash Law and be certain that 

your pets are on a leash when not confined to your home or backyard. 

WEBSITE 

Hearthstone Board is excited to announce that Hearthstone HOA has 

partnered with a technology company NabrNetwork to bring to you 

Townsquare, which has been selected as our official, Board-approved 

communication tool/website for Hearthstone HOA! Accessible via mobile 

phone, tablet and desktop - and completely private. A Townsquare 

welcome letter was recently sent out to all homeowners. If you didn’t 

receive the letter please follow these steps to sign up. 

1. Access townsquare at https://inframarkims.com/what-we-do/ 

association-management/ 

2. Click on townsquare in the right-side menu 

3. Confirm your zip code and select “I live in Hearthstone HOA” 

4. Select “I am an owner” 

5. Enter your unique Account Number 

If you don’t have your account number please call 281-870-0585 or email 

Katie.Ivanics@Inframark.com to assist. Please note moving forward this 

will be the new website and the old Hearthstone website will no longer 

be used. 

DO’S AND DON’TS OF DEED RESTRICTIONS 

Deed restrictions or often called “restrictive covenants” (especially in 

the context of homeowners associations) are restrictions contained in 

incorporating documents that limit how a property can be used or what 

can be built on it. Subdivision developers create these restrictions in 

order to keep size, quality and nature of housing consistent in an effort to 

maintain market value of the subdivision. 

For the most part, Hearthstone residents abide by our deed restrictions. 

Yards are kept clean and neat. Home exteriors are washed and unsightly 

mold is removed. Our neighbors file the required ACC forms when making 

changes to their home exteriors or adding a room or other structure. 

Trailers are not parked in driveways or on the street for extended periods 

of time and commercial vehicles are kept in garages. 

However, there are always a few who, from time to time forget or are 

not well informed about to do’s and don’ts of our deed restrictions. We 

need your help. We need everyone to follow the deed restrictions. If you 

aren’t familiar with them, they can be found in the documents section 

of our website. If you’re not sure, call the management company. Our 

management company inspects the community once a month checking 

for violations. There are times when they will miss something. If you have 

a neighbor who is a continuing violator, call the management company. 

If you want to remain anonymous call Katie Ivanics directly and let her 

know. 

Moving forward, the Board has instructed the management company 

to continue to inspect closely for violations and follow up with notices 

allowed by law. 

1) The first notice is a courtesy letter. 

2) If the violation is not cured within 30 days a second letter is sent. 

3) If the violation continues another 30 days it is referred to our attorney 

and a third letter is sent. The attorney letter results in a $302.50 charge to 

the homeowners account.

INFORMATION & NEWS 

4) Continuing violations and/or non-payment of a homeowners account 

can lead to a notice of foreclosure. 

For the good of all of our homeowners in Hearthstone, let’s keep our 

community clean and neat. Thanks to all of you who already abide by 

the rules and thanks in advance to those few who will strive to do better! 

STOP THAT BARKING 

Many dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and restless. Many find 

relief in barking. Some respond noisily to any and all activity. But, nothing 

is as annoying as incessant barking - even for dog lovers. If your dog is a 

yapper or a yowler, please consider some of these bark-abatement ideas 

to keep the noise down in your area. Your neighbors will thank you! 

• Training. Always the first recommendation for any behavioral problem! 

Help is as close as the Yellow Pages. Training not only helps your dog, 

you’ll be surprised how much it helps you, too. You may get some insight 

into why your dog barks so much or what it is trying to communicate. 

• Citronella collars. A humane alternative to the electric-shock, antibarking 

collar and costs about the same. Available on the web and in 

pet stores. 

• Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing an outspoken dog indoors 

or confining it to a crate can cut down on the disturbance to neighbors. 

• For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close drapes to help muffle street 

noise or leave a radio on to mask it. 

• Companionship. Dogs are pack animals; they need companionship 

- a cat, bird or another dog. Consider a mid-day visit from a pet-sitting 

service or drop your pooch off at a friend’s place or a day-care facility 

once or twice a week. 

Keep in mind that dogs who bark from loneliness or boredom, may not 

do it when you are home. Meanwhile, your neighbors may be getting 

serenaded while you are away. 

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR 

HARRIS COUNTY CONSTABLE 

The Harris County Constable’s Office, Precinct 5 is now offering a class 

on Rape Aggression Defense (RAD). RAD is one of the best women’s selfdefense 

courses available. It’s a program based on realistic self-defense 

tactics and techniques. It is a comprehensive self-defense course for 

women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and 

avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defensive 

training. If you’re interested in more information and signing up, go to 

this link: 

https://constablepct5.com/index.php/rad 

Make sure if you or your family goes on vacation to put in a “Vacation 

Watch” with our department. That way you’ll know your house is being 

watched by our patrol deputies. You can fill out a vacation watch form 

online here: 

https://constablepct5.com/index.php/vacation-watch/

Or you can call our dispatch at 281-463-6666. 

HEARTHSTONE STREETLIGHTS 

The Hearthstone HOA coordinates maintenance of all the streetlights 

throughout the community. This includes the “cobra head” lights like 

you see along many streets and highways, as well as the decorative light 

poles along Huffmeister and in some of the neighborhoods. 

Cobra head streetlights need to be reported to CenterPoint, using the 

pole number, which is the “address” for the light. It is a six digit number 

facing the street. You can report streetlights that are not working or 

staying on during the day at http://cnp.centerpointenergy.com/outage 

(Google streetlight outage) or give us the pole number and we will do 

it for you. 

Outages or problems with decorative streetlights should be reported to

LOST & FOUND PETS IN HEARTHSTONE 

Folks in Hearthstone are very helpful in getting lost pets reunited with 

their owners, but all dog owners should ensure that there is a tag on each 

dog with their name, address and phone number. Local pet stores have 

machines that make tags like this while you wait. At least that would help 

found dogs get back home quicker and with less trauma.

SAFETY TIPS - AVOID BEING A VICTIM 

1. Call the constable’s office anytime you see a suspicious person and do 

not let race, age or gender influence you calling (a suspicious person is 

anyone you do not recognize on your street). 

2. Call the constable’s office when you see a suspicious vehicle (any 

vehicle parked in front of your neighbor’s home or driving around your 

street that you don’t recognize). 

3. Always keep all your doors and windows locked even when you are at 

home. 

4. Always keep your overhead garage door in the down position. 

5. Remember neighbors looking out for neighbors are how the police 

catch the bad guys. 

6. Make sure to do a vacation watch whenever you go out of town. 

7. If someone comes to your door, always go to the door and acknowledge 

that you are there and remember to never open the door for anyone that 

you do not know. The bad guys in almost all cases do not want you to be 

home. Then always call the constable’s office so that we can check them 

out. When they leave your house, they are going to your neighbors. 

8. If you have children that stay at home alone, no matter what their age, 

8 


Hwy 6 N. 

they need to go to the door and have a preplanned story for whoever is 

there (my dad is working on the computer, he says to come back later). 

Then have them call the constable’s office. 

9. Never do business with people you don not know and trust. Never 

open the door for solicitors. If no one in the neighborhood buys anything 

from them, the companies that they work for will quit sending them into 

your subdivision. 

10. Always lock your vehicles and never leave anything of value in plain 

sight (covering up an item with a jacket doesn’t count). 

Our dispatch number is 281-463-6666 (please put this number in your 

cell phone as 911 constable or A constable so that it is one of the first 

contacts).

NATIONAL DOG DAY - AUGUST 26 TH 

This day encourages dog ownership of all breeds. Whether mixed or 

purebred, embrace the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and 

abuse-free life. Dogs give us companionship; they keep us safe and they 

aid those in need. It is a goal for many on this day to find homes for all 

dogs in need of a loving family. The purpose of the National Dog Day 

Foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs each year. 

A dog is man’s best friend. When dogs find a forever home, their 

companionship creates lifelong benefits. They bring with them joy, 

loyalty and devotion. Eventually, no matter the breed, these pets become 

family. 

Take your dog for a walk. If you do not have a dog, ask to take your 

neighbor’s dog for a stroll or volunteer at a shelter.

CLASSES FOR 2020-2021 START 

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH 

The CFISD Board of Trustees approved the recommendation to modify 

the 2020-2021 instructional calendar during a special-called meeting on 

July 21. 

The newly approved calendar pushes back the first day of instruction 

to Tuesday, Sept. 8. The later start date allows the district more time 

to monitor and evaluate the current health conditions in Harris County 

related to COVID-19. Additionally, with the recent authorization of the 

district to implement 1:1 technology for students, the delayed start date 

will provide more time for the district to distribute Chromebooks and 

internet devices to students with a demonstrated need. 

Other changes include the modification of professional development 

days for teachers and a return to duty of Friday, Aug. 14. 

The last day of school is scheduled for June 3; however, weekdays from 

June 7-30 are reserved as closure make-up days in case additional days 

are needed as a result of COVID-19 or other natural disasters. 

To download the 2020-2021 school calendar, visit the CFISD website at 

www.cfisd.net/en/calendar/ 

BOARD APPROVES PURCHASE OF 

CHROMEBOOKS, INTERNET ACCESS TO SUPPORT 

1:1 TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION FOR ALL STUDENTS 

The CFISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted in favor of authorizing 

the superintendent to approve the purchase of portable electronic 

devices for students, LTE internet access for students and other items 

needed to support a one-to-one solution through the Department of 

Information Resources (DIR) purchasing cooperative at an amount not to 

exceed $44 million during a special-called meeting on July 7 th . 

The purchase will support CFISD LTE 1:1 (Learning Together Everywhere), 

which provides every student with an electronic device to support 

quality instruction and resources. The program allows CFISD to meet 

the needs of all students by providing appropriate teacher-directed 

instruction, including real-time live virtual instruction as outlined in the 

Texas Education Agency’s Strong Start 2020-21 plan. 

“All of our students need quality instruction from their teachers,” said Dr. 

Linda Macias, CFISD chief academic officer. “While nothing can replace 

effective face-to-face instruction with a teacher, ensuring all students 

have a Chromebook and internet access will allow them to receive 

remote instruction that is teacher-directed and includes live virtual 

instruction through the CFISD Connect platform. This will allow students 

to be actively engaged in their learning while connecting with their 

teachers and classmates.” 

CFISD LTE 1:1 will function in two parts: Chromebooks featuring built-in 

cameras, microphones and external protective cases; and internet access. 

Devices will be managed through inventory systems, with accidental 

damage protection and CFISD technicians will be available for repairs. 

Safety layers will prevent unauthorized downloads, while a content filter 

will be installed on all devices in compliance with the Children Internet 

Protection Act. Each device also features a comprehensive reporting 

and alerting system for Chromebooks, which facilitates locating and 

recovering misplaced devices. 

Internet access will be made available for students in households 

indicating a need through mobile hotspots. In addition, CFISD is piloting 

a program to broaden its reach by installing WiFi on buses. 

The CFISD LTE 1:1 website (www.cfisd.net/lte) will provide parents and 

students information on internet filtering, digital citizenship, device care, 

technical support and additional online resources, including handbook 

and guidelines for use, return process and reporting a device lost or 

stolen. 

Technology services team members will work collaboratively with school 

leadership and the curriculum and instruction departments to distribute 

devices to students and identify households in need of internet access. 

“By providing a device for every student, we believe that the district is 

taking a significant step to ensure that our students are positioned for 

success,” said Karen Smith, CFISD chief financial officer. “The CFISD LTE 1:1 

program ties Schoology and CFISD Connect together to complete a high 

quality instructional program. This program positions our students to be 

successful in all learning environments.” 

The goal is to distribute devices prior to the first day of school (September 

8 th ), though availability may ultimately determine the schedule for 

distribution. 

DR. KAYNE SMITH APPOINTED PRESIDENT OF THE 

TEXAS ASSOCIATION FOR PUPIL TRANSPORTATION 

Dr. Kayne Smith, CFISD director of transportation, was recently appointed 

president of the Texas Association for Pupil Transportation (TAPT) in 

conjunction with the association’s 2020 virtual awards ceremony. Smith 

will serve as TAPT’s 48th president and lead the executive committee for 

the 2020-2021 term. 

A TAPT executive committee member the past three years, Smith leads 

one of the largest affiliate organizations to the National Association of 

Pupil Transportation in helping facilitate networking and educational 

opportunities. He served as parliamentarian for two years before serving 

as president-elect for the 2019-2020 term. In addition, Smith has served 

as the legislative committee chairperson since 2015. 

“It was an honor to be elected as President of the Texas Association for 

Pupil Transportation for 2020-2021,” Smith said. “I am excited to be able to 

serve the countless school bus drivers, attendants, technicians, directors 

and other staff members across the state whose purpose is to provide 

a safe and healthy transportation service to the students of Texas. I am 

deeply grateful for the support and encouragement from CFISD and my 

team in transportation.” 

The TAPT was formed in 1972 and held its first conference the next year. 

A professional certification program was started in 1991 with class topics 

including personnel management, student safety, operations, vehicle 

maintenance and budgeting and reporting. In addition, TAPT offers 

scholarship opportunities for students and adult members and contests 

to promote safety of school bus transportation. 

Smith returned to CFISD as the director of transportation in September 2018 

after starting in 2014 as an area director at the Telge Transportation Center 

and then as an assistant director of human resources for the transportation 

department. He received his TAPT certification in 2008 and has served as an 

instructor in numerous professional development courses.

Troop 838 is a small pack located near Hwy 6 and West Road at the 

Crossbridges Church. We are between the Copperfield and Aberdeen 

neighborhoods. Being a smaller troop allows us to be flexible and address 

the needs of our scouts more nimbly. We currently have boys from ages 11 

to 17 within our group working to make Eagle. We try to camp monthly, 

with a wide variety of locations on our agenda. The different locations are 

chosen by the senior boys to more directly meet our training needs and 

to keep expenses low. In fact, we have some of the lowest expenses in the 

area. Our adult leaders are all experienced with years of scouting under 

their belt per individual. We also work closely with several local packs of 

cub scouts and participate in civic duties around the area as well. Please 

contact us at TROOP838CYPRESS.ORG or 414-331-3321. 

TROOP 1865 

Troop 1865 runs a diverse program of outdoor and service activities, 

with events selected by the scouts themselves. We meet Mondays at 6:30 

PM, at the Copperfield HOA building on Willow River and Hwy 6, behind 

Labay. We’ve gone backpacking through the National Forest, rappelling 

off Enchanted Rock, Survival camping, boating, canoeing and anything 

else the scouts can dream up. We do high-adventure camping at 

Philmont and Seabase. Our advancement program has enabled scout to 

achieve the coveted rank of Eagle Scout at 10 times the national average 

rate. We see scouting as a practice run on adult life. Scouts learn about 

leadership and teamwork through having to work together in the field. 

We learn about responsibility through fund-raising activities that have 

allowed the entire troop to pay for their own summer camp each year.

that allow them to: • Try new things. • Provide service to others. • Build 

self-confidence. • Reinforce ethical standards.

SAM HOUSTON NATIONAL PARK: NEW WAVERLY, TX

certain areas of the park. Aside from walking or biking the trails, there’s 

also the option of horseback riding on one of the multiuse trails.

you’ll need to bring your own canoe or kayak because they don’t rent them 

out. Outside the campground, there is an educational theme park called 

Moody Gardens. Bring the kids along and there’ll be plenty of nature for

Thicket National Preserve. It’s actually super great, because no matter 

your flavor preference of outdoors experience, this place has got you. One 

is a ranch for you and your horse to enjoy pastures, rivers and wooded 

trails; perfect for a day trip. You’ll also love the bonfires on the beach! One 

of their campgrounds has over 4,000 acres of forest and a creek that you 

can go ahead and explore the trails winding around through it on your 

horse, bike or on foot. The other area available for camping is restricted to 

primitive camping only because it is located on a preserve. Lastly, the land 

institute is a great educational place for kids and adults alike. Check out 

their website if any of these interest you and start planning a trip!

LAKE SOMERVILLE: SOMERVILLE, TX 

The campground and park are also full of opportunities for fun in the sun. 

Water activities like swimming, skiing, fishing, and the likes are all great 

ideas on Lake Somerville. There are picnic areas for campers or day hikers 

to sit, enjoy the view, and munch on their sandwiches. Birdwatching, 

volleyball, hiking and horseback riding are popular pass times. Overall, 

this is a wonderful place to relax and play in the great outdoors.

SHELDON LAKE STATE PARK: HOUSTON, TX 

Sheldon Lake State Park is open to fishing and wildlife observation. You’re 

welcome to take your boat out for a ride or fish off the banks, so long as 

you’re wary of the alligators inhabiting the park. The learning center has 

tons of activities for the kids that you can sign up for and enjoy. Some 

of these activities are more hands-on, like catch and release fishing 

and some are visual demonstrations like green building technologies 

or smart wildscape demonstrations for gardening and using beautiful 

native plants. 

BASTROP STATE PARK: BASTROP, TX 

A forest with a history and personality, the Lost Pines located on Bastrop 

State Park used to be a luscious and well-groomed forest before being 

damaged by floods and fires. Now, the forest’s recovery is just as beautiful 

a sight. The story itself is a perfect reason to visit, but Bastrop also has 

swimming, biking, hiking and geocaching as an incentive. If you’re 

looking to exploring the surrounding area, Bastrop also has museums 

and restaurants to check out on your vacation! 

BUESCHER STATE PARK: SMITHVILLE, TX 

Experienced bicyclists looking for a challenge will enjoy the bike trails 

here at Buescher State Park. This park connects with Bastrop State Park via 

a paved road with great views of the area. Unfortunately, there is currently 

no swimming in this park, but if you adventure the short commute to the 

nearby Bastrop you’ll find a nice swimming pool for visitors like yourself. 

Lastly, if you’re hankering to float along in a tandem kayak or a canoe, you 

can do so through rental at Buescher State Park. 

LOCKHART STATE PARK: SMITHVILLE, TX 

This park has a pool, grounds for camping, trails to hike and a nine-hole 

golf course among many other things that allow you to get active! If you 

want to go fishing but don’t want to lug around your equipment, you’re 

in luck! The park has fishing equipment available for guests to use during 

their stay. If you’re looking to have a gathering of people for a family or 

church event, there is a Group Recreation Hall that also has a kitchen 

capable of holding up to 75 people at once. 

LAKE LIVINGSTON: LIVINGSTON, TX 

If you’re looking for a beautiful place to host a family reunion, try looking 

here! Campsites have full hookups and there are rentable screen shelters 

as well. As long as you’re wary of the alligators that dwell in the area, 

visitors can enjoy camping, hiking, birding, swimming, and biking. On 

your way in and out you can stop at the souvenir shop that sells treats 

and equipment! 

LAKE LIVINGSTON KOA: ONALASKA, KOA 

Here’s a popular KOA that you’ll probably need to make a reservation for 

ahead of time to ensure you get yourself a spot for the night. There is 

a beautiful pool with lounge chairs for you to relax and sink into while 

soaking in the sun. Your kids will enjoy the playground. If you love 

enjoying the great outdoors and its many inhabitants, there is a local bald 

eagle named Eddie who supposedly flies around the area frequently. 

There is also fishing, a pavilion to admire the scenery in, and is known for 

the sunset views. 

VILLAGE CREEK STATE PARK: LUMBERTON, TX 

Campers interested in sleeping in tents, RVs or cabins are welcome here. 

You’ll be able to go swimming, fishing, biking, hiking and more with your 

friends and family. If you prefer to learn about your surroundings and its 

history rather than being emerged in the real deal, there are programs 

and museums aplenty for you to observe and glean information from 

during your stay. 

PALMETTO STATE PARK: GONZALES, TX 

This little oasis has a multitude of thirsty plants that cannot live in other 

areas due to the lack of water. The park is named for the dwarf palmettos 

that grow beneath the trees. As a visitor, you can also enjoy the copious 

amounts of flowing and stagnant water by swimming, tubing, fishing 

and canoeing. Those interested in keeping dry will enjoy bird watching, 

hiking, geocaching or staring at the dwarf palmettos. 

VICTORIA COLETO CREEK LAKE KOA: VICTORIA, TX 

Come to this RV and tent camping site to enjoy the lovely wildflowers, 

scattered oaks, birds and other wildlife. There is a pond with catfish that you 

can relax on the edge of while fishing and other areas for freshwater fishing. 

The winters are not as frigid as up north, so you can always count on decent 

weather should you decide to vacation here! There are plenty of places in the 

area for you to check out, making it perfect for both short or extended stays.

Alzheimer’s Care, Support and Research. The Alzheimer’s Association® 

is invitingKaty, Fulshear, Cypress, Richmond and other West Houston

walkers or not. So we have two plans - Plan A is to have the big event. Plan B is 

to have a virtual event that may be held in various neighborhoods, businesses, 

schools and other smaller communities where people can come together 

and Walk to End Alzheimer’s. In addition to the 3-mile walk, participants will 

enjoy a fun-filled experience that includes valuable information, celebrations, 

entertainment, corporate sponsors and so much more. Participants can join a 

team or register to walk as an individual at www.alz.org/walk. 

Even though the office has been closed, the Alzheimer’s Association has 

continued to offer support through various avenues than before the stayat-home 

order. The 24/7 Free Hotline can be a lifeline for those who suffer 

from the disease and those who care for them, call 800-272-3900. Support 

Groups are meeting virtually, please check www.alz.org for times and 

locations. Facebook Live sessions are held every Wednesday at 11 AM. Find 

the live sessions and lots of other programs and events on the Facebook 

page, “Alzheimer’s Association: Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter.” Virtual

WIND, HAIL, AGE, LEAKS, REPAIRS 

Garden Tips For August 

• Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects. 

• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood. 

Light green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron 

cheleates. 

• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around 

the roots. 

• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. 

• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies. 

• Chinch bug damage is obvious now. You will have areas of thin and/ 

or dead turf where they weren’t brought under control. There is a new 

generation going now. This batch causes the most damage. Use Dursban 

to stop the damage. 

• Until the weather gets back to the 80’s, St. Augustine grass grows slowly. 

If you fill in with sod, don’t expect a fast turnaround. The sod may look 

like it’s not growing while it puts down roots. You will need to water the 

new sod often and deeply to get it started but this also creates a disease 

environment. Water early so the sun can dry the turf. 

• Now is a good time to work new beds. Till them up, add organic material, 

mix it in, then let them cure for a month or so. Add in any amendments 

like micro-nutrients. Keep the beds moist so the microorganisms have a 

favorable environment.
