YARD OF THE MONTH
The Sheffield HOA wants to recognize one neighbor every month for
their dedication and devotion to the upkeep of their front yard.
Each month’s winner will be featured in the Sheffield newsletter and will
get bragging rights with a Yard of the Month sign displayed in their yard
for that month.
Residents can win only once per calendar year and must be in good
standing. Good luck!
HOA DUES
If any Sheffield residents have not paid their yearly assessments, please
email Darlene.Compton@crest-management.com for payment plan
options. We are happy to work with you.
GARBAGE SERVICE
The trash pick-up schedule in Sheffield is Tuesday and Friday. Heavy trash
days are every other Tuesday. Please remember to keep your garbage cans
at least three feet away from other garbage cans, cars, poles or anything
that may block the truck from gaining access to the can on pick-up days.
Also remember that items piled up by the garbage can will not be picked
up except on heavy trash days. Recycling is picked up on Friday.
REMINDER - the garbage contract is through your water company –
Langham Creek UD. If you need more specific information on pick-days
or any other item that is related to garbage pick-up please call Langham
Creek UD at 281-376-8802 or email them at customerservice@wdmtexas.
com or you can call the garbage company, WCA at 281-368-8397. This is
not an HOA contract or a service that is provided by the HOA.
BUNCO ANYONE?

2 nd Thursday of each month and the fee is $5. For more info send email to
taylil3511@yahoo.com or dpoole2002@yahoo.com. See you soon.
REMINDER FROM THE SHEFFIELD BOARD
PLEASE NOTE: An ACC application must be submitted and approved
prior to you adding shrubs or fencing in the front of your property.
Please see the HOA guidelines regarding fencing requirements to ensure
that fencing additions meet guidelines and that you submit your plans
and application for approval PRIOR to doing any modifications. The
ACC application form can be downloaded from the Crest Management
website at www.crest-management.com, please select Communities at
the top of the page and then select Sheffield. The ACC application will be
located at the bottom of the page. The applications should be submitted
to Crest Management as indicated on the form.
Please, remember Sheffield HOA does not manage your trash service.
This service is through Langham Creek MUD (water bill) 281-579-4500. If
you have any questions regarding the new service, please refer back to
the insert that was included in your water bill or contact WCA at 281-368-
8397 or the MUD.
We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Your Sheffield Board
DEED RESTRICTION VIOLATIONS
Do you know what the top three reasons management companies send
out deed restriction letters? The first is not keeping your yard mowed and
weeded. Mow your yard on a regular basis, keeping it a little higher in
the summer months, which helps in water retention and crowding out
weeds. The second is leaving your trashcans out in front of the house or
garage. Trashcans should be kept out of sight (in the garage, behind the
privacy fence or behind shrubs or a purpose built enclosure. C
ontact Crest Management if you wish to build a trashcan enclosure for
Architectural Control forms. The third reason is mildew on the house
siding. This often happens on shady areas of the house. Power washing
or spraying with a cleaning solution for mildew often takes care of the
problem.
GARAGE SALE SIGNS
Placing garage sale signs in the flower and shrub beds within the
neighborhood is not permitted. Such signs found in the flower and shrub
beds will be removed immediately and placed in the trash.

COMMUNITY INFORMATION
AND MEETING NOTICES
If you are interested in receiving Board meeting email notifications,
please go to the Crest website at www.crest-management.com and go
to communities, then scroll down to Sheffield and there you will find a
place to sign up with your email address and if you scroll to the bottom,
you can obtain community information, legal documents or applications
as well.
LITTER PICKUP
Just a reminder, if you see trash in the neighborhood, please be a good
neighbor and pick it up and dispose of it properly. Otherwise, then trash
will either end up in someone’s shrubbery or trees or else get washed
down the storm sewers, contributing to mosquito breeding and backing
up of the storm drains in times of heavy rains. Thanks to those of you who
regularly pick up other people’s litter.
PETS
Please remember that you are not allowed by law to let your dogs and
cats run loose in the neighborhood. If caught, you may receive a ticket
in the amount of up to $500 for such a violation (we have had residents
receive such a ticket). If you see loose pets you can contact Harris County
Animal Control.
A number of Sheffield residents either walk their dogs or let their cats
run loose. It is a violation of deed restrictions to let your pet leave their
poop on another resident’s lawn or the common grounds (they belong to
all of Sheffield’s residents). If your pet does have to go to the bathroom,
please be courteous and carry a plastic bag (store bags or the newspaper
delivery bag are great for this), pick up the pile by placing your hand
inside the bag, grab the pile through the bag, tie the bag up and throw it
in the garbage. Leaving your pet waste around encourages the possible
spread of pet disease, such as Parvo, which can be life threatening, or
parasites.

NATIONAL LIBRARY LOVER’S MONTH
The entire month of February is dedicated to the people who love whole
buildings devoted to the reading, housing organizing, categorizing, finding,
studying and otherwise loving books. It’s National Library Lover’s Month!
Libraries provide so much more than a place for us to enjoy great novels
or to discover amazing adventures and untold history. Yes, they help us
ace our research papers and provide a quiet space to study, but they do
so much more.
For preschoolers, libraries entertain them with theater and hands-on
activities exposing them to music, art and their first friendships. Many
communities rely on their libraries for meeting space for public forums,
socials, fundraisers and classes.
Libraries lend not only books but music and movies. Rotating art displays
give local artists exposure to the community. Larger libraries provide
preservation services, preserving some of the most treasured books,
periodicals and documents for future generations.
Continue enjoying your library, but consider volunteering your time, too.
If you don’t have a library card, it’s never too late! Visit your library to get
one! Use #NationalLibraryLoversDay to share on social media.

ALL 12 CFISD HIGH SCHOOLS
RECEIVE LTE 1:1 CHROMEBOOKS
All 12 CFISD high schools have received Chromebooks for students as
part of the district’s LTE (Learning Together Everywhere) 1:1 program.
Rollouts began before the Thanksgiving holiday and were completed
before winter break. More than 75,000 CFISD students have received a
Chromebook, which includes 100% of high school students having their
own device. In addition, 52% of elementary students and 46% of middle
school students have received their individually issued Chromebook.
CFISD has met all requests of CFISD Connect students who indicated a
need for a device in order to be successful while learning remotely.
“Successfully deploying individually issued Chromebooks to all
high school students in CFISD is an incredible feat that could not be
accomplished without the support of the community and the CFISD
Board of Trustees,” said Katie Gentry, director of 1:1 and inventory systems.
“These devices will enable teachers to transform learning anytime,
anywhere, allowing students to reach their full potential for college and
career readiness. The spirit of CFISD was evident in this project as many
departments stepped up and heeded the call to think outside the box to
make this happen in an expedient manner for our high school students
across the district.”
In a special-called meeting on July 7 th , the CFISD Board of Trustees
unanimously voted in favor of authorizing the superintendent to approve
the purchase of portable electronic devices, LTE internet access and
other items needed to support a one-to-one solution for CFISD students.
The LTE 1:1 program 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.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 medium bananas, sliced
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a
large bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla,
mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the butter mixture
until smooth. Finally, fold in the sour cream, walnuts and bananas. Spread
evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted
into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes
before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Columbine, Cornflower, Daisies, Delphinium, Hollyhock, Larkspur, Lobelia,
Nicotiana, Pansy, Petunia, Phlox (Louisiana), Shrimp Plant, Snapdragon,

TREES AND SHRUBS
• Finish all transplanting, get everything in the ground for a good spring
spurt of growth. Transplant balled and burlap, container-grown, bare-root
deciduous evergreen trees, shrubs, roses and vines while still dormant.
• Finish pruning roses. Weed and cultivate lightly all beds. Replenish
mulch as needed.
• Control early spring insects like thrips on glads and aphids on young
tender growth. Spray with Malathion, Diazinon or Orthene.
• At the end of February: peach, apple and pear fruit must be thinned to
insure quality production at harvest.
• Give groundcovers a haircut. They will spread faster.
• Divide daylilies, daisies and other perennials now.
NATIONAL BIRD FEEDING MONTH
During National Bird Feeding Month in February, keep the bird feeders
filled and your binoculars ready.
Bird watching and feeding have become a popular hobby. By providing
basic shelter and seed, hobbyists watch from their windows or along
trails.
• Be sure to feed regularly and place your feeder away from predators.
• Set binoculars near the window for best viewing.
• Obtain a bird book for identifying new species.
Fill up the bird feeder or add one this month. In 1994, Congressman John
Porter established February as National Bird Feeding Month due to the
harsh conditions endured during one of the coldest months of the year.
