Citizens can remain anonymous or may choose to disclose their identity. Go to iwatchharriscounty.com for additional information. Crime Reports - www.crimereports.com CrimeReports is the only near real-time source for both official crime data and sex offender information, giving you access to information from over 700 participating law enforcement agencies across North America and sex offender data for all 50 States. • CrimeReports allows you to filter crimes by location or address, crime type and customizable date range. • View data on the crime map or in a list view. • View national sex offender data alongside crime in your neighborhood. • Sign-up for free, automated, email crime alerts. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office participates in the CrimeReports.com system. Reminder As a reminder, it is critical to be able to recognize something that is out of the ordinary. Although many residents don’t know all their neighbors, they usually know a few. They also become familiar with patterns of living, like when people leave for work, the cars normally seen in a driveway, etc. It is these patterns that become what we consider “normal.” Whenever we see something that is not normal, it should warrant our attention. It may be a vehicle parked in a driveway or street, it may be someone walking on the

street from house to house or it may even look like someone who is working on a project. If anything looks suspicious, call the Sheriff (713-221-6000). If someone knocks on your door, make certain you know who it is, before you open the door, it if sounds out of the ordinary, call the Sheriff. If you, in any way, think something may be suspicious, call it in to the Sheriff. The Crime Watch Committee also asks you to consider becoming involved in our Crime Watch program. You may contact your village representative listed on the Copperfield website, in the Copperfield newsletter or visit one of our monthly committee meetings (Second Wednesday of each month at the Copperfield Community Center at 6:30 PM). You may also visit the Copperfield Safety and Security Facebook page. In order to receive updates, you may register at the Copperfield website at: www.copperfield.org/sl_register.php to stay informed and receive crime watch updates.

For life threatening emergencies, call 911.

Copperfield Place Village (CPV) A WORD FROM THE BOARD

This has been another hot summer month and it is very hard to keep our yards looking green and our landscape colorful. CPV appreciates all efforts from the homeowners to accomplish this goal! If any of you notice the irrigation in the common areas with problems, please immediately report this to SCS. Broken water lines costs the homeowners money out of their Association funds.

A reminder that if you are going on vacation, let your neighbor know so that they can keep a close eye on your property. Last month a neighbor of a homeowner reported a big water leak at the home. Water was all over the street and their yard was flooded throughout. They reported it to a pool committee member who happened to be at the pool. After inspecting the property, it was a broken sprinkler water pipe line. The Mud District Water Dept. was contacted and reported the incident. The neighbor was away on a 2-week vacation. For the most part, Homeowners are to be congratulated for keeping our neighborhood looking good and safe. Don’t let those who do not abide by deed restrictions discourage you. Keep in mind that they either do not own their property or just do not care about the looks of their neighborhood. We will always have these type of residents in our neighborhood who just do not care. As long as you do your part, it will always be a good and safe place to live.

(CPV) POOL & PARKS COMMITTEE

The Kiddie Park playground area was reported to have ants and weeds growing due to the recent rains. This has been corrected. If you see any unacceptable activity in the playground area, please report this to the Sheriff’s department. The fans under the pool area canopy have been repaired and can now be used. The yellow sign concerning food and beverages in the pool area was torn down and has been re-erected. Cameras recorded the event and the pool is still being monitored. Report any vandalism you see to SCS and the Sheriff’s department. NOTE: If you are past due in your assessments or owe any money to the association, you card for entry will not be activated. Contact SCS if your pool card does not work (281-463-1777). For lost or replacement cards there will be a $25 charge and you must go by the community center.

Start here.

Transfer anywhere. That’s why 90,000 students choose us.

The cameras are now in full operation and will monitor the pool & parks area day and night 24/7. PARKING IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE PARKS AREA AFTER POSTED HOURS. AUTO’S WILL BE TOWED AT THE OWNER’S EXPENSE.

(CPV) YARD OF THE MONTH

SCS Management at 281-463-1777. Many homes are in desperate need of painting or mildew cleaning!

UNAUTHORIZED VEHICLES ARE STILL A SORE EYE THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BOATS AND UTILITY TRAILERS ARE STILL BEING SEEN IN THE DRIVEWAYS AS WELL AS INOPERABLE VEHICLES PARKED IN THE STREET: It is allowable to park your vehicle in the street; however, DO NOT park it in such a way that emergency vehicles cannot drive through or block wheel chair accessibility! Fire trucks are not able to get through when vehicles are parked on BOTH sides of the street and it becomes too narrow. These vehicles can and will be towed in an emergency at the homeowner’s expense. BOATS & MOTOR HOMES ARE NOT TO BE PARKED AT ANY TIME ON THE STREET OR DRIVEWAY. THIS IS A DEED RESTRICTION VIOLATION! VEHICLES ARE REPORTED BEING PARKED IN THE POOL/PARKING AREA AFTER HOURS. TOWING WILL ALSO BE AT THE OWNERS’ EXPENSE: Do not park vehicles at the end of the Cul de Sac as it blocks other vehicles who stop by to pick their mail at times or at the Pool and Park area. The pool and parks’ area parking lot remain open until 9:00 pm. NO PARKING after 9:00 pm or vehicles will be towed at the owners expense. APPROVALS FOR MODIFICATIONS/ADDITIONS/CHANGES REMINDER THAT NO CHANGES CAN BE MADE WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE ACC COMMITTEE! FORMS NEED TO BE FILLED OUT AND SUBMITTED FOR PRIOR APPROVAL. Roofing, painting, landscaping or any major changes must be approved by the Architectural Review Board.

Any modification of the front yard etc. that is out of the ordinary should be approved before landscaping with the Architectural Board Committee at SCS. Please trim ALL bushes, trees, shrubs that are planted in the cross corner lots / section of the street! These must be kept trimmed and maintained for good / safe view of incoming traffic at all times! SCS will be looking closely at all intersections during their drive through to insure that this is in compliance with the deed restrictions. There has been reported instances where palms, trees or large shrubbery is overgrown and not providing a safe view of the cross intersection. You may obtain your form for Architectural Board approval by visiting www. copperfield.org - the Copperfield website.

Easton Commons Village (EC) Deed Restrictions

Every month SCS Management rides through Easton Commons to check for Deed Restriction violations. The Deed Restrictions set the standard on how our property is taken care of. A well maintained community will impact the property value of your home, which is most likely the largest investment you have. If you have received a letter from SCS regarding a Deed Restriction violation, please take care of the violation as soon as possible. If you are having problems getting an issue resolved, please contact SCS Management to inform them and to schedule a timeline for the correction. If you ignore the letter, additional letters are sent out which can result in additional expenses, which will be added to your account. If you are not sure of the Deed Restrictions, you can access them on www. copperfield.org under Easton Commons.

(EC) Trucks Prohibited

There are still incidences of large commercial trucks parking along the street near the entrance to the subdivision and adjacent to the park. The entrance to a residential neighborhood is no place for such vehicles, which are a safety problem, as well as unsightly and may interfere with traffic. Signs are posted that indicate that the parking of these vehicles is prohibited. When a truck parks in the restricted area, residents are encouraged to call the Harris County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number (713-221-6000) to make a report.

(EC) Friendly Reminders

We know all the residents of Easton Commons want our village to continue to be the beautiful neighborhood that it is. Here are some reminders to help us do that: • All domestic animals are subject to Public Leash Laws which are also covered in the Easton Commons deed Restrictions. Basically, this states that all domestic animals, ie: pets, must be penned or leashed at all times. This includes dogs and cats. • Trash containers or any other items for trash pick up should not be placed on the street for pick up earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before the day of the scheduled pickup. • All residences are required to have two trees in their front yards. Types of trees and their placement are discretionary. • Residents are reminded that privately initiated garage or yard sales are not permitted in Easton Commons. See below for more information on a community day for such events.

(EC) Easton Commons Village Garage Sale

Garage sales were prohibited in most villages in Copperfield for many years. Recently many villages have consented to a one day a year exception. Easton Commons will do the same thing. A one day community sanctioned garage sale will be permitted at a future date to be announced, tentatively for October 2012. More information will be forthcoming.

(EC) Easton Commons Nature Park

Just some items to help everyone use and enjoy the park even more … the pond is stocked with fish and fishing is permitted. Remember, the limit is three (3) fish. Swimming, however, is not permitted. Please be considerate of others in using the park and do not molest the wildlife. There are several ducks and other water birds which make the pond and park their home.

(MG) Signs

We would like to remind residents and their realtors that the deed restrictions state that only one “for sale” sign is permitted on your lot in order to advertise a house for sale. “Open House” signs are not permitted to be posted throughout the neighborhood. The deed restriction reads as follows: “Section 14. Signs, Advertisements 1 Billboards. No sign, advertisement, billboard or advertising structure of any kind shall be displayed to public view on any Lot except for one sign for each Lot, which sign may not exceed six (6) square feet for the purpose of advertising the property for sale or rent, except signs used by Declarant, its successors or assigns, for a period of time commensurate with its home construction/sales program. Declarant or its assignee shall have the right to remove any sign, advertisement, billboard or advertising structure which is in violation of the foregoing and in so doing shall not be subject to any liability for trespass in connection therewith or arising from such removal. Any signs for Commercial Units shall be subject to the prior review and approval of the ARC.” We appreciate your cooperation.

Stephanie Hermann has stepped down from the Southcreek Board. She will be missed greatly. Stephanie organized many of the social events in the neighborhood, such as the Fourth of July parade and Christmas at the Gazebo. She also worked hard to get the common area sidewalks in good condition. Thanks to Stephanie for all her hard work to help our community.

(SC) Rock the Park

On Saturday, June 23rd, our community enjoyed the wonderful music by “The Norman Number.” Thanks to all the residents who came out to support the event. This event was a great success! Thanks to “The Norman Number” for their participation. Thanks to Dennis Zehler for organizing Rock the Park.

On July 4th, Southcreek Village held their Annual Fourth of July parade. Families were encouraged to decorate bikes, strollers, etc. and then participate in the parade. The parade began at the Autumn Laurel pool in the morning and proceeded down Royal Gardens to the Park Falls pool. We also had policeman, Sergeant Breaux participate in the parade. The Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department participated with a ladder truck, a fire truck and an ambulance. Mark Wilkinson came with a Civil War cannon and there were individuals dressed in Civil War era costumes. We also had an antique car participate in the parade. After the parade, families enjoyed food and summer fun. The children enjoyed playing on water inflatables and playing in the pool. Everyone enjoyed seeing the fire truck’s hose spray water and hearing the Civil War cannon go off! It takes lots of help from volunteers to make an event like this happen and be successful. Thanks to the following volunteers: Connie Applebach, Zach Applebach, Jake Staffel, Julie Chung, Brooke Williams, Erin Markey, Sharon Samson, Alicia Samson, Jan Meyer, Josh Truitt, Claire Brown, Lorri and Wade Thompson. We would also like to thank Stephanie Hermann, Ann Liner and Bryne Liner for organizing the event. Thanks to the following businesses for their donations. Romero’s Mexican Restaurant donated Chips and Salsa. The Copperfield Dolphins Swim Team donated, cooked and served hot dogs and cookies. Willie’s Ice House donated ice. Houston Recreation donated prizes and activities for the pool party that followed the parade. The generous donations from ACMP and WCA helped support the event.

Thanks to our residents who are working hard to beautify their yards. Three houses in our neighborhood have been awarded Yard of the Month for July.

Southdown Village

It’s hard to believe that it’s already August! The kids are starting to think about what they are going to wear on the first day of school, college freshman are preparing for that next step in life and families are reminiscing about that wonderful summer vacation. We’ve had some very hot days but are thankful that the Houston rain pattern gives us occasional relief. With that being said, there are more people out walking around Southdown Village and enjoying the parks and pool. During your outings if you see something that looks wrong, call the Sheriff’s Department at 713-221-6000, option 1. Please put this number in your cell. If you are apprehensive about calling, you can request that “no contact” be made and the officer will not contact you. The officer will investigate the alleged crime and move on. If the police are called and there is no crime, no harm, no foul. The most important thing is that the police are called. This is our neighborhood and we all need to be proactive. Also consider registering your email with www.coppperfield. org. You will receive emails about issues and events in the community that affect you. While there were few incidents of crime in Southdown Village last month, please remember some bad apples might venture into our neighborhood.

While no neighborhood in America is immune to criminal activity, a great majority of crimes, particularly property crimes, can be prevented. Most property crimes are crimes of opportunity. If you leave a laptop or iPad on the front seat of your car, you run a risk of having it taken. Don’t create the opportunity for this crime by leaving your valuables in plain sight. Similarly, don’t alert every person who walks by your house that you just got a new 60inch LED TV and surround sound system by leaving the boxes on the curb. Cut them up, put them at the bottom of the trash can or wait until trash day to put them on the curb.

Charles Bumpass has served on the Southdown Village Board for many years and decided not to seek reelection. We thank him for his years of outstanding service and wish him well in his future endeavors. DeBra Delacroix Edwards was elected to the Board in May and currently serves as Board Secretary. Welcome, DeBra! Board meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month, 6:30 pm, at the Copperfield Community Center, 15409 Willow River Drive, Houston, Texas 77095. Contact Graham Management to be placed on the agenda.

(SD) Landscaping Crime Prevention Measures From the Curb • Are your house numbers visible from the street for emergency services such as police, fire and ambulance? • Does the overall appearance of your home give criminals information about you and your family that would assist them in victimizing you - uncollected newspapers in the yard, flyers on your front door or the garage doors open and no cars in sight? Landscaping • Are your shrubs and trees trimmed to “open up the line of sight” of your home for your neighbors to see from several directions? • Are shrubs and trees trimmed to prohibit concealment of an intruder?

• Backdoor trash pick-up for household items on Monday and Thursday (heavy items) mornings. Grass clippings and yard waste must be placed at the curb. Please do not place your grass clipping at the curb before the night preceding pickup. It changes the perception of our neighborhood and is a common complaint of your neighbors. • Recycling on Thursday mornings. (See the updated list of acceptable items on-line.) • Committees, which oversee certain aspects of our community. These volunteer opportunities include the Pool and Parks, Architectural Review, Deed Restrictions and Crime Watch committees.

Meetings - 3rd Monday at 6 PM Forest Heights Pool Meeting Room Simple Steps to Prevent Break-Ins & to Make it More Difficult for the Thief • Always lock your doors, windows, garages and vehicles. • Keep outside lights on all night, every night. Not a good idea to leave lights on only when you are away. • Set lights on timers and leave the radio on a talk show when not at home. • Always set alarms if you have one. • Keep the fence gate locked between detached garage and house. Key the lock to match the house key. • In releasing heat from a garage, never leave the garage door open high enough for a person to crawl under. • Don’t advertise new purchases by placing the empty box out by the trash can. Cut it up and turn it inside out. Also, boxes can be crushed and taken to the recycle bins at the area schools. • Etch birthday or anniversary date on personal items and not your social security number. If item is stolen, this date can be used to retrieve recovered property. • Always report suspicious activity or behavior by calling the Sheriff’s nonemergency number 713-221-6000 #1.

Please park your vehicles in your garage or driveway and not on the street. Too many vehicles parked in the street can prevent emergency vehicles from getting to a location.

As an apology, some of you probably noticed in June’s newsletter there was reference made to dry conditions and the drought we saw last year still not being over. Although the end of the drought may not be officially over from a meteorologist’s viewpoint, we saw several wet days in late June and early July that had many of you probably wondering why dry conditions were still being referred to.

• Insect control - thank you everyone that participated in the community pest control treatment weekend that was scheduled on 6/23 - 6/24. It really helps when as many people within the community treat their yards for fire ants, mosquitoes and cinch bugs at the same time to prevent these pests from simply hopping over into a neighbor’s untreated yard and then ultimately returning to give more grief. ˚ If your lawn is displaying patches of yellowing that you suspect is fungus or water deprivation, it may be caused by chinch bugs. Inspect the suspected areas closely for small, flea-sized bugs with white wing pods. Young chinch bugs will appear as orange and black. ˚ If you are unsure of their presence, take a coffee can or similar container, remove the top and bottom, embed the can in an affected area, and fill with water. If chinch bugs are present they will rise to the top of the water within the can. ˚ The most effective pesticide to apply is a liquid spray containing permethrin, cypermethrin or deltamethrin. This must be applied 3 separate times within a 21 day period - the egg cycle the chinch bugs leave behind must be killed, otherwise, they will return. A liquid product will permeate all areas better and more effectively than a granular product, ensuring the infestation is defeated. • Don’t forget your trees! Many of our trees require lots of water and compete with our lawns to get it. Magnolia, Elm and Ash varieties are especially in need of deep watering to prevent summer heat damage. It is much easier and more visually pleasing to apply extra water now than to extract a dead tree later in the season. • Lawn looking generally yellow and insect and fungus has been ruled out as the culprit? Your lawn may need an application of liquid iron. This typically should only need to be done once annually, so check your feeding schedule to be sure to not over-apply iron. • We have had some wet days so beware of Brown patch fungus as it will start to plague us. Remember the fungus is in the soil, not on the grass itself and will likely re-appear where you have had it before. Use a product that contains Banner, Terrachlor, Bayleton or Benomyl. Follow manufacturer instructions, but realize you may need to treat all affected areas more than once. • All this talk of fungus may make us forget not everything requires excessive gulps of H2O. If your Bougainvillea specimens appear to be growing well but fail to bloom to your satisfaction, remember that stress actually causes

these plants to bloom. If containerized, allow the soil to dry out substantially and allow for the foliage to slightly wilt. Then apply water, but do not begin to over-water. If in-ground, you may need to consider either leaving in the container slightly above ground level and hiding the container with mulch in order to prevent excess water entry or severing some the roots around the root ball via a sharp shovel to introduce stress. • Remember to feed sago palms and azaleas one more summer feeding before we enter into fall. Most area sagos are looking really great this year. • Impatiens and Vincas will continue to look great for several more weeks, so plant ‘em if you got ‘em.

(WC) PET CARE - PET OWNERS

Please reconsider taking your pet on excessively long walks, jogging, etc. during this heat of the summer. There are instances of pets falling from heat stroke or exhaustion, which can be fatal. Always carry water to give your pet during any excursion. Below are signs that you should be aware of. (WC) Heat Exhaustion Heat Exhaustion occurs with exercise, particularly on hot, humid days. The symptoms are similar to those of heat stroke but may not be associated with an elevation in body temperature, as is the case with heat stroke.

• Dog becomes unconscious • Collapse or fainting • Mentally dazed • Vomiting • Muscle cramps (seizure-like tremors) • Abnormally rapid heartbeat and rapid breathing • Muscle weakness Depending on the seriousness of the situation, these are the steps an owner should take if his/her dog is suffering from heat exhaustion:  1) Move the dog out of the sun and into the shade or into an air-conditioned building.  2) Give the dog water to drink, but do NOT allow the dog to drink copious amounts.  3) Rinse the dog off with cool water, either in the bathtub or with a garden hose.  4) Place the dog in front of a fan while still damp.  5) Place ice bags around the dog’s head and neck. You may also apply them to the groin area for rapid blood cooling.  6) Take the dog to the veterinarian only after the dog has been cooled down. Take your dog’s temperature; this should be done rectally to get the most accurate reading.  7) Prepare your dog for transport to the nearest emergency animal clinic. Do NOT cover your dog, even with a cold towel. A towel will prevent the heat from escaping. A cold washcloth on the tummy is fine. ~ End of Westcreek Village News ~

Heat exhaustion symptoms include:  • Heavy panting • Dog begins huffing and puffing or gasping for air • Dog begins to weave when s/he walks because of dizziness • Dog lies down or collapses and cannot get up

Copperfield Coalition Town Hall Meeting

Speeding and Running of Stop Signs for a Better, Safer Neighborhood The speeding and running of stop signs throughout our area has become increasingly worse over the years and now is seriously out of control. Life is precious and we need to do anything and everything to protect it. The Copperfield Coalition will be holding a Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday, September 18, 2012, at the Copperfield Church. The meeting will be held in their main worship room at 7 PM. This room is extremely large and has three main doors. We will not have the long lines like we had with the Town Hall Meeting concerning low income housing. Just come in and have a seat. We are working with the Sheriff’s Department to develop a strategy with the information we obtained from our poll (Poll results can be viewed on our website). Once we have a baseline set, we will discuss at the upcoming Town Hall Meeting set for September 18th. All residents in the area are encouraged to attend and voice their concerns, provide suggestions and ask questions. We will use all the information that we gather from the Town Hall Meeting to finalize the strategy. Sheriff Garcia’s command staff plans on attending and speaking at this meeting. You remember the Town Hall Meeting we had a few months ago on Low Income Housing? We had roughly 500 people show up to protect their property values and their way of life. We are now planning to have a much more important Town Hall Meeting - safety of human life. We urge you to attend and hope for another large turnout.

Who We Are and What We Do There still seems to be some confusion on who we are and what we do. The Copperfield Coalition is an incorporated non-profit organization filed with Harris County and the State of Texas. We represent over 17 different communities around the Copperfield area. We also represent all businesses within the Coalition boundaries. Our boundaries are basically between Tuckerton and FM 529, just west of Barker Cypress to Jack Rabbit Road. You can see our boundary map on our website (CopperfieldCoalition.COM). We are a community of Citizens concerned with the Smart Growth of the Copperfield Area. Copperfield Coalition members are comprised of all volunteers. No one receives any compensation for their services. We are not related to any Homeowners Association or the Copperfield Community Association. However, we do work with them. We rely totally on donations and the work of volunteers. Your HOA dues do not fund us whatsoever nor does any governmental agency. We are solely independent from any other entity. Our Mission: By working with residential, business and governmental groups, our goal is Smart Growth that continues to preserve the architectural character, the property values and the quality of life in the Copperfield area, while maintaining the safety and enjoyment of all of our communities. Copperfield Coalition supports “Smart Growth.” We encourage residents and businesses to learn about what options they have and how they can become involved in the process. All individual Homeowner Associations (HOA) differ from the Copperfield Coalition in their ability to address and manage residential and business concerns. The HOAs are chartered to manage the various contracts: Sheriff’s department, landscaping, pools and waste/recycling. They also enforce architectural guidelines, deed restrictions, maintenance, needed repairs and maintain the common area. Every HOA has a management company to guide them in making sure that these contracts and efforts are within the charter. The Coalition has the ability to address concerns that may require political and adjoining communities’ involvement/engagement to address residential and business concerns that are NOT within the charter of the HOAs. The HOAs and the Copperfield Coalition can find some flexibility in working together for the Smart Growth of the communities we represent. We take on projects that will protect our communities, stop unwanted construction and/or alterations that will affect all of us. We work with politicians and government officials to make improvements in and around our community to enhance our quality of life and protect our property values. We disseminate information via our website, press releases and email blasts to local residents and businesses.

Three Brothers Will Serve as Missionaries

Twins Eric and Aaron Heki, along with their younger brother Larry, are about to serve as missionaries in far-flung countries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Eric will be sent to Durban, South Africa for two years. Aaron will be serving nearby in Johannesburg, South Africa. Larry will be serving in Helsinki, Finland. All will be starting in the Mission Training Center in Provo, Utah. Larry will arrive there late August, a couple of weeks before his brothers and will stay a few weeks longer for language training - although most of the Finnish language will come once he’s in the country speaking it full time. All three graduated from Langham Creek High School in 2011. All three played in the marching band there: Eric played trombone, Aaron played tuba and Larry played French horn. All three are Eagle Scouts, earning the BSA’s highest rank. Eric’s Eagle project was to build raised flower beds for Copperfield Estates independent senior living center. Aaron’s project was to put up a world map on the side of the building at Horne Elementary. Larry, who held his Eagle court of honor on July 4th, built two turtle platforms and reclaimed a lake at the Cy-Fair ISD Nature Trails. The boys are sons of Scott and Charlotte Heki. The parents are justifiably proud of these three sons and feel it a rare privilege to be sending all three off to serve at the same time. The Heki family has lived in the Copperfield area for about 15 years and attend church in the Copperfield Ward of the Katy Stake of the LDS Church, on Longenbaugh at Park Falls.

Girl Scouts in the United States have been celebrating 100 years of Scouting and the Copper Corners Service Unit has been joining in the excitement! On March 30th, we held a birthday celebration, with cake and lots of party games face painting, dancing and fun. As a service project, troops prepared “birthday parties in a box” (everything you need for a birthday party. These beautifully decorated gift boxes were donated to Cypress Assistance Ministries. The birthday party and activities were planned and run by Troop 16018, Troop 16043 and Troop 16053. On April 29th, Copper Corners Service Unit had a “Chalk in the Park” event, at the Langham Creek YMCA. Girls and their families came together to create sidewalk chalk art representing things that Girl Scouts enjoy doing. Older Scouts served snow cones and popcorn and everyone joined in a sing along under the pavilion that finished up with a Friendship Circle. We would like to express special thanks to the Langham Creek YMCA for making this afternoon event possible. Thanks also to Julie Mayer, the event organizer and to all those who helped make it a success. We are all looking forward to the B.I.G. Council event on September 29th at the George R. Brown Convention Center. It will be a Believe in Girls event, as well as an event for every Girl Scout in GSSJC. That makes for one really BIG event and a great chance to learn about all the opportunities available in San Jacinto Council. Check your Golden Link or the GSSJC website for more information.

While summer is a time for Girl Scouts and their leaders to enjoy time with friends and family, many of our girls have been attending council camps. GSSJC offers resident, day and twilight camps and there are many things to do there. Whether it is trail riding at Misty Meadows, learning to crew a “big boat” at Casa Mare or one of the many other camp activities, we know that they are having fun, learning new skills and making friends. Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Copper Corners Service Unit serves all girls in the residence areas for Lowery, Birkes, Fiest Elementary Schools, Aragon and Labay Middle Schools and corresponding high schools. Once school is back in session, we will be holding rallies to form new troops and welcome new scouts and new leaders.

Welcome back to the exciting chronicles of Pack 445!

Our Scouts are having a fantastic summer and cannot believe that soon school will be starting! In July, the Scouts attended the first ever “Cub Olympics!” This was a great time that included a chili cook-off, basketball, shaving cream wiffle ball, a cobbler contest, a raingutter regata and much, much more. The boys and their families had a great time and cannot wait to do it again next year. Then, the Scouts were able to cool down from all the heat this month at the annual pool party. When they weren’t swimming, they were munching on some great snacks!

Texas Representative Duane Bohac honored four Eagle Scouts at their court of honor: from left: Ryan Patrick Andrew Juergens, Rep. Bohac, Bishop Ron Barrow (leader of the church sponsoring Troop 996), Larry Heki and Quinn Taylor.

BOY SCOUT TROOP 996 - Four Scouts Honored with Eagle Rank

Four Eagle Scouts held a combined court of honor celebrating their attainment of Boy Scouts of America’s highest rank. The four young men, all of troop 996, sponsored by the Copperfield Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are Andrew Juergens, Larry Heki, Quinn Taylor and Ryan Patrick. Only about five percent of Boy Scouts persevere to reach the rank of Eagle, so having four from one troop at the same time is outstanding.

Each Eagle Scout has completed at least 21 merit badges and has served in a series of leadership roles and he must complete a self-directed major project. The accomplishment says much about the character of the young man, but also much about his scout leaders and parents, who have encouraged him over many years. During the June 27th court of honor ceremony, Texas Rep. Duane Bohac honored the Eagles as guest speaker. Andrew Juergens is the son of Kurt and Gretchen Juergens. He is about to start his senior year at Langham Creek High School. His Eagle project was to collect used baseball and softball equipment, donated to RBI (Recycled Baseball Items). The baseball equipment will be used for inner city baseball teams and the softball equipment will be sent to troops overseas. Larry Heki is the son of Scott and Charlotte Heki. He graduated from Langham Creek High School in 2010. Larry actually completed his Eagle requirements last summer, but left for a year of study at Brigham Young University before there was time to celebrate with a court of honor. His Eagle project was done for the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District’s Nature Trails facility. It was a conservation project in which he led and participated in the removal of an invasive species of water plant, the parrotfeather, a noxious weed that is a native water plant of the Amazon River in South America. He also built two new floating platforms to place in the pond for the turtles, ducks and other wildlife to use to sun themselves or to rest on. Larry has been studying chemistry and leaves in late August to serve as a missionary for two years in Finland.

Ryan Patrick is also a basketball player. It was through his basketball friendship with Quinn Taylor, starting in third grade, that Ryan learned of scouting and got involved in Troop 996. He is the son of Rich and Jeannie Patrick. His project was to make large animal feeders for Boys and Girls Country. Many of the students at Boys and Girls Country participate in FFA (Future Farmers of America) competitions with the hope of earning college scholarships. Ryan’s project was to help them in their efforts. Ryan will be attending Texas A&M University this fall, in the Mays School of Business.

HOMESCHOOL PACK 164

Cub Scouts is a fun way to teach boys about character, respect, responsibility and many other traits. Pack 164 is a Christian, home school Cub Scout Pack that services the Greater West Houston/Katy area. Pack 164 promotes service to God, to country and to others. If you are interested and your son is entering 1st through 5th grade, please contact “Van” VanZant at van. vanzant@gmail.com or at 281-851-8374. We will also have an informational meeting and registration Thursday, August 16th at 7 PM at the Bear Creek Community Center.

Quinn Taylor is the son of Tim and Janet Taylor and the third in the family to earn the rank of Eagle. His project was completed for Houston Marine Moms. He organized the collection and sorting of donations used for care packages sent to Marines serving in Afghanistan. Quinn is a well-known basketball player for Langham Creek High School. He will be attending Utah State University on a basketball scholarship this fall, studying civil engineering. After his freshman year he plans to serve as a missionary for two years before returning to sports and school.

Mildred’s Umbrella Theater Company 2012-2013 Season

Kimberly Akimbo is a play written in 2000 by Pulitzer prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire. Its title character is a lonely teenage girl suffering from a disease a lot like progeria, that causes her to age 4 and a half times as fast as normal. Thus, Kimberly is trapped inside the frail physical body of an elderly woman. She meets another misfit (a teenage boy) and the two form an attachment to one another that borders on attraction. The situation is not helped by Kimberly’s rapidly deteriorating health. Soon Kimberly’s family gets mixed up in some crazy money schemes and the family gets emotionally destroyed.

“I’m In PAIN” Can Chiropractic Help ME ? We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor of chiropractic can help my problem?” We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, (procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. We will make this special program available through August. The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient.

REGULAR PRICE

Have you gotten your annual A/C tune-up? If not, now is the time to give your system the cleaning and rejuvenation it deserves. After months of working hard to keep you and your family cool, your A/C is tired. Our Super Tune-Up will give it the spa-like service it needs to continue working to the best of its ability for the rest of the summer. Plus, it will help minimize utility bills. 1. 2.

DOUBLE MONEY BACK GUARANTEE:

If your A/C breaks down for any reason during the next 12 months, I will gladly refund your $79 Tune-Up...No Questions Asked. If you do not save at least $79 on your electric bill (the cost of your Super Tune-Up), I will refund your $79.

WHEN IT COMES TO DUST ON YOUR AIR CONDITIONING COILS, 42/1000’s OF AN INCH IS TOO MUCH. So you thought a dime was thin? A layer of dust 42/1000’s of an inch will increase your air conditioning bill by 21%. In our area, with our utility rates, 21% is a lot. The coils are like the lungs of your comfort system. A clogged lung will choke your system’s performance and run up your utility bills. If it goes on too long, it will cause your system to break down and leave you sweating and frustrated on the hottest day of the year. A clogged coil is the # 1 contributor for service calls for A/C repair businesses.

Since September 11, 2001, 1.8 million troops have been deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Persian Gulf, with 17 percent of returning troops suffering traumatic brain injuries or post-traumatic stress disorder. Given the military culture’s emphasis on confidence, strength and bravery, many service members are reluctant to expose personal vulnerabilities to professional counselors. Give an Hour™ provides services that are separate from the military establishment, offering options to service members who might otherwise fail to seek or receive appropriate care.

The moment a newborn baby wraps their tiny hand around a parent’s finger is a pivotal moment in the life of any parent. The baby not only tugs on the finger, but on the parent’s heart as well. It is in that awesome moment that the parent begins to understand the unconditional and abounding love that God has for each of us. But soon after the little miracle arrives so do all the questions and sometimes, without any clear answers.
