<strong>November</strong> <strong>2020</strong> | <strong>Sheffield</strong>


website at www.crest-management.com, please select Communities at<br />

the top of the page and then select <strong>Sheffield</strong>. The ACC application will be<br />

located at the bottom of the page. The applications should be submitted<br />

to Crest Management as indicated on the form. We thank you for your<br />

cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, Your <strong>Sheffield</strong> Board<br />

GARAGE SALE SIGNS<br />

Placing garage sale signs in the flower and shrub beds within the<br />

neighborhood is not permitted. Such signs found in the flower and shrub<br />

beds will be removed immediately and placed in the trash.<br />

LITTER PICKUP<br />

Just a reminder, if you see trash in the neighborhood, please be a good<br />

neighbor and pick it up and dispose of it properly. Otherwise, then trash<br />

will either end up in someone’s shrubbery or trees or else get washed<br />

down the storm sewers, contributing to mosquito breeding and backing<br />

up of the storm drains in times of heavy rains. Thanks to those of you who<br />

regularly pick up other people’s litter.<br />

PETS<br />

Please remember that you are not allowed by law to let your dogs and cats<br />

run loose in the neighborhood. If caught, you may receive a ticket in the<br />

amount of up to $500 for such a violation (we have had residents receive<br />

such a ticket). If you see loose pets you can contact Harris County Animal<br />

Control. A number of <strong>Sheffield</strong> residents either walk their dogs or let their<br />

cats run loose. It is a violation of deed restrictions to let your pet leave their<br />

poop on another resident’s lawn or the common grounds (they belong to<br />

all of <strong>Sheffield</strong>’s residents). If your pet does have to go to the bathroom,<br />

please be courteous and carry a plastic bag (store bags or the newspaper<br />

delivery bag are great for this), pick up the pile by placing your hand inside<br />

the bag, grab the pile through the bag, tie the bag up and throw it in the<br />

garbage. Leaving your pet waste around encourages the possible spread<br />

of pet disease, such as Parvo, which can be life threatening, or parasites.<br />

A number of complaints have been made about stray cats roaming the<br />

neighborhood. To report stray or unconfined animals call 281-999-3191,<br />

Monday thru Friday during the hours of 9 AM until 6 PM.<br />

VANDALISM<br />

Remember, if you see suspicious activity in or around <strong>Sheffield</strong>, please<br />

immediately call the Harris County Sheriff’s Department at 713-221-6000.<br />

HOUSTON OPEN BIRDIES FOR CHARITY®<br />

What is Birdies for Charity®? Birdies for Charity® is a fundraising program<br />

designed to give local charities the opportunity to generate contributions<br />

through the Houston Open. 100% of your donation goes directly to the<br />

charity of your choice. The Houston Open will also award the top three<br />

donation-collecting charities and one randomly drawn charity with an<br />

additional bonus. In 2019, the Houston Open distributed $615,000 to<br />

local nonprofits.<br />

How can I participate in Birdies for Charity®? There are two ways to donate<br />

to the Birdies for Charity program:<br />

1. Make a pledge of one cent or more for every “Birdie” made by the PGA<br />

Tour Pros during the Houston Open. If 1,500 birdies are made during the<br />

<strong>2020</strong> event, here are the totals for some typical pledge amounts:<br />

• 1 cent pledge = $15 total pledge<br />

• 3 cent pledge = $45 total pledge<br />

• 10 cent pledge = $150 total pledge<br />

• $1 pledge = $1,500 total pledge<br />

The minimum birdie pledge is $.01 and the maximum pledge is $1. The<br />

last day to submit a pledge is Sunday, <strong>November</strong> 8, <strong>2020</strong>. Last year, 1,244<br />

birdies were made at the Houston Open. FYI we are playing at a new<br />

course this year.<br />

2. Make a flat donation not tied to birdies. For flat donations, the minimum is<br />

$20. To donate, please visit our Charity page at www.houstonopengolf.com.<br />

Grand Prize: You are eligible to enter our “Guess the Birdie” contest when<br />

you donate or make a pledge to one of our local charities. Guess the total<br />

number of birdies that will be made by PGA Tour Pros during the Houston<br />

Open, Nov. 2-8, <strong>2020</strong>. One grand prize will be given to the person who<br />

guesses the correct number. In case of ties, winners will be randomly<br />

selected. One lucky supporter of the Houston Open Birdies for Charity®<br />

program will win an Astros *Suite Night at Minute Maid Park. *Suite night<br />

2021 date will be determined by the Astros organization and sent to<br />

the winner once determined. For more information about the Houston<br />

Open Birdies for Charity® program, please contact Monica Whitt at info@<br />

astrosgolf.com.<br />

Foundation has decided to postpone the B. F. Adam Golf Classic until<br />

the COVID-19 risk is minimal within our community for the safety of our<br />

288 golfers and over 100 volunteers, trustees and staff, who help make<br />

this event a tremendous success, as well as the staff at BlackHorse Golf<br />

Club. Our 33 rd annual B. F. Adam Golf Class has been moved to Monday,<br />

<strong>November</strong> 16, <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

Celebrating 50 years as a non-profit raising money to fund scholarships<br />

for Cypress-Fairbanks ISD high school graduates, the Cy-Fair Educational<br />

Foundation is looking forward to our exciting Fall lineup of events.<br />

Monday, <strong>November</strong> 16, <strong>2020</strong> - B. F. Adam Golf Classic<br />

Thursday-Saturday, December 10-12, <strong>2020</strong> – Houston Methodist Cy-<br />

The Cy-Fair Educational Foundation is incredibly grateful for the<br />

unwavering generosity of the Cy-Fair community and the commitment<br />

of our Board of Trustees. Over the last 50 years, the Foundation has grown<br />

KIDS’ MEALS 12TH ANNUAL HARVEST<br />

LUNCHEON GOES VIRTUAL ON<br />

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, <strong>2020</strong>, 11:45 AM<br />

A vivacious Kid’ Meals’ “spokeskid” will emcee the luncheon and welcome<br />

guests to an inspiring, engaging and entertaining afternoon. Guests will join<br />

a virtual ride-along in a Kids’ Meals van to deliver meals directly to the homes<br />

of hungry children and will also enjoy a special “Who is Kids’ Meals” and<br />

“Cycle of Poverty” animated presentation. Attendees will also experience a<br />

virtual tour of Kids’ Meals’ newly expanded 18,000 sq. ft. space and virtually<br />

meet kids from the Kids’ Meals program along with a few of the thousands<br />

of volunteers including staff drivers who kept the program running during<br />

COVID. While learning the impact of hunger in Houston, guests will be<br />

able to participate in an online raffle and silent auction curated by Silent<br />

Auction Chairs Vanessa and Jeremy Goebel. During the luncheon, Kids’<br />

Meals will recognize volunteers who stepped up and devoted their time<br />

to help the Kids’ Meals program grow 135 percent overnight to feed more<br />

than 7,500 children a day at the peak of the pandemic earlier this year. Kids’<br />

Meals invites everyone to support the mission to end childhood hunger<br />

by purchasing individual tickets, underwrite tables and host their own<br />

viewing party with a gourmet meal delivered to their door by Click Virtual<br />

Kitchen. For more information about Kids’ Meals including information<br />

have parents who served in Iraq or Afghanistan alone. All<br />

of us share in the responsibility of caring for our military<br />

families and veterans. These families have stepped up to<br />

the plate at great personal cost and the toll that multiple<br />

and extended deployments take can be very high. Stress<br />

levels sky rocket and spouses and children can struggle<br />

when service members are gone for prolonged periods<br />

and some may even have a difficult time adjusting when<br />

the service member returns. All of these families deserve<br />

some recognition and our appreciation.<br />

10 WAYS TO RECOGNIZE MILITARY FAMILY<br />

APPRECIATION MONTH<br />

The month of <strong>November</strong> is Military Family Month. This provides us all the opportunity<br />

to celebrate the sacrifices and contributions that service members’ families have made<br />

and continue to make. As we celebrate the annual <strong>November</strong> Military Appreciation<br />

Month take the time to honor our veterans, their families and the sacrifices they’ve<br />

made.<br />

“Military families exemplify the courage and resolve that define our national character.<br />

For their country and their loved ones, they rise to the challenges of multiple<br />

deployments and frequent moves - spouses who care and provide for children in their<br />

partners’ absence, kids who make new friends and leave known comforts behind. They<br />

are the force behind the force, patriots who support their family members in uniform<br />

while enriching the communities they call home.” The sacrifices and duty involved in<br />

service to the nation often goes unnoticed by those in the civilian world. Countless<br />

moves. Nonstop deployments. Extended deployments…Over two million children<br />

Families who not only survive, but thrive - who every day<br />

serve with courage and honor, rate extra kudos. As we<br />

celebrate the annual <strong>November</strong> Military Appreciation<br />

Month take the time to honor our veterans, their families<br />

and the sacrifices they’ve made. A familiar question is<br />

what can you do?<br />

1. SAY Thank you!<br />

2. Write a thank you note to a family for what they’ve<br />

sacrificed.<br />

3. Provide job opportunities.<br />

4. Offer workplace flexibility.<br />

5. Offer to babysit. Imagine 6-9 months with no spouse<br />

at home to support you! Yup - let that sink in! Offer to<br />

babysit. Often. It can be a sanity saver.<br />

6. Perform a random act of kindness for the family, while<br />

remaining anonymous.<br />

7. Volunteer your time. Cut the grass. Rake leaves. Clear<br />

gutters.<br />

8. Thank them publicly (on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)<br />

for their sacrifice.<br />

9. Donate to a veterans’ charity on their behalf.<br />

10. ASK - “How can I help?”<br />

10 Alternatives to a<br />

Thanksgiving Turkey<br />

There are plenty of alternative Thanksgiving meals that<br />

will give you that holiday feeling. Here are some ideas:<br />

• Pork Roast: Adding apples and cinnamon will ensure<br />

that no one misses the turkey when you serve this dish. It<br />

smells and tastes like holiday heaven.<br />

• Roasted Chicken: A roasted chicken certainly qualifies as<br />

a solid turkey replacement.<br />

• Thanksgiving Jambalaya: You can substitute any meat<br />

here: turkey breast slices, chicken, shrimp.<br />

• Baked Cod or Microwaved Salmon: Who says you can’t<br />

serve fish on Thanksgiving!<br />

• Eggplant Parmesan: Both vegetarians and nonvegetarians<br />

alike will love you for this.<br />

• Leg of Lamb: A great alternative that will everyone,<br />

especially if you add exotic spices and seasonings.<br />

• Beef Stew: Hearty and plentiful; your house will be filled<br />

with the most amazing aromas.<br />

Courtesy of: www.bonappetit.com/<br />

BEAT THE<br />

HOLIDAY WEIGHT<br />

Mashed potatoes, homemade apple pie, stuffing, hot<br />

dinner rolls with melted butter, creamed corn, green<br />

bean casserole, salad with all the fixins’ and of course<br />

the main dish - the BIRD. All of this equals at least<br />

2,000+ calories. What is a holiday food enthusiast<br />

to do? Yes, you CAN avoid the holiday weight gain!<br />

Here’s how:<br />

• Drink H2O before you eat: chances are, you are<br />

thirsty before any and every meal; drink a full glass<br />

of water to quench your thirst first, then notice you<br />

will feel fuller.<br />

• Rainbow plate: make sure your plate has color - fresh/<br />

not creamed items, broiled or grilled vegetables,<br />

protein, carbohydrate and again, water.<br />

• On the side: those side dishes - mashed potatoes,<br />

casseroles, stuffing, dressing, etc. are SIDES not main<br />

dishes; make sure to keep these portions small.<br />

• NO to salad dressing: hooray there is a salad! BUT<br />

- that tasty dressing (ranch, thousand island, French,<br />

Russian, balsamic vinaigrette, etc.) will reverse the<br />

purpose of the ruffage; instead, make your own<br />

dressing at home and bring it with you or simply ask<br />

for olive oil, salt & pepper and maybe a hint of lemon.<br />

• Walk it off: finished eating? Go for a WALK; football<br />

can wait (yes, even the college games), because your<br />

body deserves better.<br />

MANY WAYS TO SAVE.<br />

Gardening Tips<br />

for <strong>November</strong><br />

• Brown patch will continue to plague St. Augustine lawns as<br />

nights get cooler and humidity and rain continue. Discolored<br />

circles will appear in low areas almost overnight. Apply a fungicide<br />

recommended for brown patch according to label directions. Avoid<br />

walking through brown-patched turf. It spreads easily from the<br />

bottom of your shoes. If brown patch appears in the same lawn<br />

areas every year, add an inch or two of sandy topsoil to eliminate<br />

those low spots.<br />

• Fertilize St. Augustine turf with a winterizing formula to promote<br />

root growth over the winter months. Lower your lawn mover blades<br />

now and mow on a schedule that cuts no more than one-third of<br />

the grass blade away.<br />

• As chrysanthemums and other perennials finish blooming, cut<br />

flowering stalks to the ground to permit all strength to be used in<br />

making root growth.<br />

• Feed roses lightly, but avoid nitrogen fertilizers. Do not prune now.<br />

Keep up spraying program and water deeply.<br />

• Remove dead foliage and plant debris to help eradicate insects<br />

and disease organisms. Thin out and transfer volunteer seedlings.<br />

Beds made now will benefit by weathering before being planted. If<br />

soil is heavy, dig six inches deep, leave rough, cover with gymsum<br />

and strawy manure, water and allow to mellow.<br />

• Bananas are more likely to bear fruit if the trunk does not die back<br />

in winter. Cut banana stalks back to six feet, wrap with newspaper<br />

and burlap.<br />

• Continue mulching for winter. Build up a thick top mulch to protect<br />

roots from freezing and winter drying. Don’t throw away those pine<br />

tree needles; they make great acidic mulch for azaleas, gardenias<br />

and next Spring’s impatiens.<br />

• Place pansies in beds after weather has cooled. Use a little blood<br />

meat mixed in soil under each plant.<br />

• Now is the best time to plant trees and shrubs.<br />
