WEBSITE<br />

<strong>Hearthstone</strong> Board is excited to announce that <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA has partnered with<br />

a technology company NabrNetwork to bring to you Townsquare, which has been<br />

selected as our official, Board-approved communication tool/website for <strong>Hearthstone</strong><br />

HOA! Accessible via mobile phone, tablet and desktop - and completely private. A<br />

Townsquare welcome letter was recently sent out to all homeowners. If you didn’t<br />

receive the letter please follow these steps to sign up.<br />

1. Access townsquare at https://inframarkims.com/what-we-do/associationmanagement/<br />

2. Click on townsquare in the right-side menu<br />

3. Confirm your zip code and select “I live in <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA”<br />

4. Select “I am an owner”<br />

5. Enter your unique Account Number<br />

If you don’t have your account number please call 281-870-0585 or email Katie.Ivanics@<br />

Inframark.com to assist. Please note moving forward this will be the new website and<br />

the old <strong>Hearthstone</strong> website will no longer be used.<br />

MESSAGE TO ALL<br />

HEARTHSTONE RESIDENTS FROM<br />

THE HEARTHSTONE COUNTRY CLUB<br />

Incidents of trespassing on the golf course have recently<br />

had a dramatic increase. Accordingly, the club has<br />

posted new signs at all areas of access that address the<br />

trespassing issue. No one, whether members or nonmembers<br />

are to be on the club property at any time,<br />

day or evening, unless you are registered with the Pro<br />

shop. No walking or jogging, no dog walking, no bike<br />

riding, no fishing. The club has asked the Constables to<br />

assist in the enforcement of this violation. Please be a<br />

good neighbor and respect the club’s property.<br />

GOLF CART OPERATORS<br />

IN HEARTHSTONE:<br />

Parents, please remember that all operators of golf carts<br />

on both public streets and at the <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Country<br />

Club must be at least 16 years old and have a valid TX<br />

Operators license. We have recently noticed many<br />

underage operators driving through the community.<br />

Underage drivers subject both themselves and their<br />

parents to citation by the Harris County Constables<br />

Office. Should an underage driver cause any damage to<br />

a person or property, most insurance companies will not<br />

cover the loss leaving the parents open to civil litigation.<br />

Please parents, if your child is underage and operating<br />

your golf cart, ask them to stop. If our Constable on<br />

patrol continues to observe underage drivers she/he<br />

will have no choice but to stop the driver and call the<br />

parents. Let’s take care of this issue on our own. Thanks!<br />

LEASH LAW REMINDER:<br />

Please be mindful of the Harris County Leash Law<br />

and be certain that your pets are on a leash when not<br />

confined to your home or backyard.<br />

HEARTHSTONE YARD OF THE MONTH<br />

November is here and it is time to be thankful, grateful and hopeful as we enter a season<br />

of celebration and gratitude. With all the challenges of <strong>2020</strong>, we are so grateful for our<br />

neighborhood and wonderful neighbors. This month we are especially thankful for our<br />

November Yard of the Month winners, Stacy and John Faecher at 14818 Avila Bend Dr.<br />

in the Betty Brown section of <strong>Hearthstone</strong>.<br />

Large live oaks provide some late autumn shade for gloriously bright and heathy cora<br />

vinca blooms, foxtail ferns, birds of paradise, variegated ginger and more. It is worth<br />

the trip into the Betty Brown section to view this yard that celebrates the season with<br />

abundance and joy.<br />

STOP THAT BARKING<br />

Many dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and<br />

restless. Many find relief in barking. Some respond<br />

noisily to any and all activity. But, nothing is as annoying<br />

as incessant barking - even for dog lovers. If your dog<br />

is a yapper or a yowler, please consider some of these<br />

bark-abatement ideas to keep the noise down in your<br />

area. Your neighbors will thank you!<br />

• Training. Always the first recommendation for any<br />

behavioral problem! Help is as close as the Yellow Pages.<br />

Training not only helps your dog, you’ll be surprised how<br />

much it helps you, too. You may get some insight into why<br />

your dog barks so much or what it is trying to communicate.<br />

• Citronella collars. A humane alternative to the electricshock,<br />

anti-barking collar and costs about the same.<br />

Available on the web and in pet stores.<br />

• Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing an<br />

outspoken dog indoors or confining it to a crate can cut<br />

down on the disturbance to neighbors.<br />

• For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close drapes to help<br />

muffle street noise or leave a radio on to mask it.<br />

• Companionship. Dogs are pack animals; they need<br />

companionship - a cat, bird or another dog. Consider a midday<br />

visit from a pet-sitting service or drop your pooch off at<br />

a friend’s place or a day-care facility once or twice a week.<br />

Keep in mind that dogs who bark from loneliness or boredom,<br />

may not do it when you are home. Meanwhile, your neighbors<br />

may be getting serenaded while you are away.<br />

LOST & FOUND PETS IN HEARTHSTONE<br />

Folks in <strong>Hearthstone</strong> are very helpful in getting lost pets reunited with<br />

their owners, but all dog owners should ensure that there is a tag on each<br />

dog with their name, address and phone number. Local pet stores have<br />

machines that make tags like this while you wait. At least that would help<br />

found dogs get back home quicker and with less trauma.<br />

DO’S AND DON’TS OF DEED RESTRICTIONS<br />

Deed restrictions or often called “restrictive covenants” (especially in<br />

the context of homeowners associations) are restrictions contained in<br />

incorporating documents that limit how a property can be used or what<br />

can be built on it. Subdivision developers create these restrictions in<br />

order to keep size, quality and nature of housing consistent in an effort to<br />

maintain market value of the subdivision.<br />

L.P. Roofing and Gutters<br />

Satisfied Customers!<br />

ALL TYPES OF<br />

ROOFING REPAIRS<br />

For the most part, <strong>Hearthstone</strong> residents abide by our deed restrictions.<br />

Yards are kept clean and neat. Home exteriors are washed and unsightly<br />

mold is removed. Our neighbors file the required ACC forms when making<br />

changes to their home exteriors or adding a room or other structure.<br />

Trailers are not parked in driveways or on the street for extended periods<br />

of time and commercial vehicles are kept in garages.<br />

However, there are always a few who, from time to time forget or are<br />

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

need your help. We need everyone to follow the deed restrictions. If you<br />

aren’t familiar with them, they can be found in the documents section<br />

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

management company inspects the community once a month checking<br />

for violations. There are times when they will miss something. If you have<br />

a neighbor who is a continuing violator, call the management company. If<br />

you want to remain anonymous call Katie Ivanics directly and let her know.<br />

Moving forward, the Board has instructed the management company<br />

to continue to inspect closely for violations and follow up with notices<br />

allowed by law.<br />

1) The first notice is a courtesy letter.<br />

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

3) If the violation continues another 30 days it is referred to our attorney<br />

and a third letter is sent. The attorney letter results in a $302.50 charge to<br />

the homeowners account.<br />

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

can lead to a notice of foreclosure.<br />

For the good of all of our homeowners in <strong>Hearthstone</strong>, let’s keep our<br />

community clean and neat. Thanks to all of you who already abide by<br />

the rules and thanks in advance to those few who will strive to do better!<br />

HEARTHSTONE STREETLIGHTS<br />

The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA coordinates maintenance of all the streetlights<br />

throughout the community. This includes the “cobra head” lights like<br />

you see along many streets and highways, as well as the decorative light<br />

poles along Huffmeister and in some of the neighborhoods.<br />

Cobra head streetlights need to be reported to CenterPoint, using the<br />

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

facing the street. You can report streetlights that are not working or<br />

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

(Google streetlight outage) or give us the pole number and we will do<br />

it for you.<br />

Outages or problems with decorative streetlights should be reported to<br />

Inframark at 281-870-0585. Please note the exact intersection or closest<br />

address. The association has a contractor doing a monthly nighttime<br />

inspection for lights that are out, but if you see a problem, please report<br />

it, so we can achieve our goal to keep all the lights on all the time.<br />

TRASH DAYS<br />

Trash days are Tuesdays and Fridays with recycling pickup on Fridays. If<br />

you have questions, call 281-368-8397.<br />

HEARTHSTONE EXTERIOR MODIFICATIONS<br />

When making any changes to the exterior of your home, please keep<br />

in mind that you must first submit an application and receive written<br />

approval. An application can be obtained by sending a request to<br />

customercare@inframark.com.<br />

The call center main number is 281-870-0585. The hours are 7 AM to 6 PM<br />

Monday through Thursday and 7 AM to 5 PM on Fridays.<br />

SAFETY TIPS - AVOID BEING A VICTIM<br />

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

not let race, age or gender influence you calling (a suspicious person is<br />

anyone you do not recognize on your street).<br />

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

vehicle parked in front of your neighbor’s home or driving around your<br />

street that you don’t recognize).<br />

3. Always keep all your doors and windows locked even when you are at<br />

home.<br />

4. Always keep your overhead garage door in the down position.<br />

5. Remember neighbors looking out for neighbors are how the police<br />

catch the bad guys.<br />

6. Make sure to do a vacation watch whenever you go out of town.<br />

7. If someone comes to your door, always go to the door and acknowledge<br />

6<br />

<strong>December</strong> <strong>2020</strong> | <strong>Hearthstone</strong>


that you are there and remember to never open the door for anyone that<br />

you do not know. The bad guys in almost all cases do not want you to be<br />

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

out. When they leave your house, they are going to your neighbors.<br />

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

they need to go to the door and have a preplanned story for whoever is<br />

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

Then have them call the constable’s office.<br />

9. Never do business with people you don not know and trust. Never<br />

open the door for solicitors. If no one in the neighborhood buys anything<br />

from them, the companies that they work for will quit sending them into<br />

your subdivision.<br />

10. Always lock your vehicles and never leave anything of value in plain<br />

sight (covering up an item with a jacket doesn’t count).<br />

Our dispatch number is 281-463-6666 (please put this number in your<br />

cell phone as 911 constable or A constable so that it is one of the first<br />

contacts).<br />

BOY SCOUT TROOP 838<br />

Troop 838 is a small pack located near Hwy 6 and West Road at the<br />

Crossbridges Church. We are between the Copperfield and Aberdeen<br />

neighborhoods. Being a smaller troop allows us to be flexible and address<br />

the needs of our scouts more nimbly. We currently have boys from ages<br />

11 to 17 within our group working to make Eagle.<br />

We try to camp monthly, with a wide variety of locations on our agenda.<br />

The different locations are chosen by the senior boys to more directly<br />

meet our training needs and to keep expenses low. In fact, we have some<br />

of the lowest expenses in the area.<br />

Our adult leaders are all experienced with years of scouting under their<br />

belt per individual. We also work closely with several local packs of cub<br />

scouts and participate in civic duties around the area as well. Please<br />

contact us at TROOP838CYPRESS.ORG or 414-331-3321.<br />

PM, at the Copperfield HOA building on Willow River and Hwy 6, behind<br />

Labay. We’ve gone backpacking through the National Forest, rappelling<br />

off Enchanted Rock, Survival camping, boating, canoeing and anything<br />

else the scouts can dream up. We do high-adventure camping at Philmont<br />

and Seabase. Our advancement program has enabled scout to achieve<br />

the coveted rank of Eagle Scout at 10 times the national average rate.<br />

We see scouting as a practice run on adult life. Scouts learn about<br />

leadership and teamwork through having to work together in the field.<br />

We learn about responsibility through fund-raising activities that have<br />

allowed the entire troop to pay for their own summer camp each year.<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA -<br />

COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in<br />

helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />

that allow them to:<br />

• Try new things.<br />

• Provide service to others.<br />

• Build self-confidence.<br />

• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as<br />

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility<br />

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made,<br />

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />

through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which<br />

help our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston<br />

Area Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs<br />

(boys 5 to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10<br />

Venturing units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet<br />

weekly.<br />

Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools<br />

including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley,<br />

Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan,<br />

Tipps, Walker and Wilson.<br />

Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church,<br />

Beck and Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church,<br />

Copperfield Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield<br />

Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and Copperfield Wards, Middlegate Village<br />
