It’s that time of year again. Mark your calendars, as you will not want to miss this event! We are fired up and thrilled to be upholding our “Shop Til You Drop” Marketplace event again this year. Grab the entire family and head out to the Berry Center on September 8th. There will be something for everyone to enjoy, even your pet. See you there! CWC is a service organization that gives back to the community, so all funds raised will go right back to the community in scholarships for graduating high school seniors, at Lone Star College, Cy-Fair and grants to other non-profits in our community as well. Membership for the Cy-Fair Women’s Club is open to all ladies in Northwest Houston/Cypress neighborhoods. Currently we meet the first Thursday of most months at West Houston Church of Christ. Our meetings begin with social time and refreshments at 7:00 PM immediately followed by a program at 7:30 PM. The church is located at the corner of Queenston and West Road. Our monthly meetings are not only educational and enjoyable, but they develop lasting fellowships. We look forward to meeting you there! Please contact Susan McLeroy, Membership Chair at sudomac@comcast.net if you have any questions about our club or need directions to the church.

Copperfield Church. Topics include safety, crime and security, with multiple community leaders as guest speakers. Please go to www.copperfieldcoalition. com for more 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.

Special thanks goes to all our pool and parks committee members who volunteered to open and close the pool this season. There was little or no vandalism this year, as in the past. I believe the cameras and monitoring of the pool was one of the reasons for this.

Your next purchase of $50 or more

Well, school is here again! We had a great summer with no major problems within our neighborhood. I want to thank all the homeowners for keeping their lawns looking great considering the hot summer.

The pool is closed after Labor Day weekend for the year. Due to little or no attendance after school commencing last year, the committee made the decision not to keep it open on week-ends during the month of September as we had in the past.

Despite our efforts to keep our neighborhood looking good, sending reminders, letters, etc. There are still some homeowners that keep their old utility trailers parked in their driveway, as well as inoperable vehicles. Unauthorized vehicles are still an eye sore throughout the neighborhood and these few homeowners continue to violate these restrictions and not take pride in our subdivision.

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) Pool News

The pool, located at 14830 Forest Trails Drive, opened on May 1, 2012 and will remain open until September 31, 2012. The hours are 8:00 AM until 9:00 PM. There is no lifeguard on duty so swimmers are cautioned to take care

Southdown Village (SD) School is Back in Session!

Students are back in the swing of school once again. Please be reminded to watch for children in and around schools in the mornings and afternoons. Many of us are going to or coming home from work at the same time, so please use caution in and around any of our neighborhood schools. Remember, it is now a crime in Texas to use a wireless communication device while driving in a school crossing zone. On a related note, whether your student is in elementary school or college, preparing a delicious breakfast can be a daunting task. It’s hard to think of delicious, nutritious and filling breakfast recipes when you are trying to get everybody ready for the day ahead. Overnight casseroles are like a nice insurance policy. Breakfast is a great time for these make-ahead recipes:

Overnight French Toast

Prep Time: 15 minutes - Cook Time: 33 minutes - Total Time: 48 minutes Ingredients: 2 Tbsp. honey 1/2 cup butter 1 loaf French bread, sliced 1” thick 1 cup milk 1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 cup heavy cream 1 cup brown sugar 5 eggs, beaten 1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation: Spray a 9” x 13” pan with nonstick baking spray containing flour. Combine the honey, cream, butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan and simmer until the sugar has melted, stirring frequently. Pour this mixture into a prepared pan. Place the bread slices over the sugar-butter mixture in the dish. In large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla and salt; pour this mixture over the bread. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the pan and bake for 30-38 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Serve while hot or warm. Be sure to take out of the pan within a few minutes, since the French toast will harden in the pan. It can be reheated. Serves 8.

(SD) Yard of Month

Congratulations to the Sedberry and Cornwall families, last month’s Southdown Yard of the Month winners. The Sedberry’s live at 7206 Starbridge and the Cornwell’s are at 15955 Vine Creek. Each family was awarded a $25 gift card to an area home improvement store. It is great to see such pride in our neighborhood especially after such a rough summer. Reminder: be sure to let Graham Management know if you see a yard that deserves consideration for Yard of the Month.

Copperfield pays a flat fee to Centerpoint Energy for our streetlights, no matter the condition of the lights. It is important to report any non-working streetlights, as Centerpoint will not charge us to fix them. These reports will help our neighborhood remain an attractive place to live. Please report nonworking lights to Centerpoint at 713-207-2222. Include the pole ID number when you call.

• Recycling pick up is on Thursday mornings. The recycling program was significantly expanded in 2010. We encourage you to reference the new guidelines at www.copperfield.org/southdown_village - Look for the Recycling Information section on the page. • Southdown Board meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 pm, in the Copperfield Community Center. Contact our management company to be placed on the agenda. • Various committees overseeing different aspects of our community meet periodically. Please think of volunteering your time to make your community a better place. Volunteer opportunities are available with most committees, including the Pool and Parks, Architectural Review, Deed Restrictions and Crime Watch committees.

(SD) Crime Watch

Recently, a career car thief was interviewed on a news program. He said that he made a living for over 30 years by simply stealing things left in plain view in a vehicle. He boasted that on very few occasions did he have to break a window. Most of the time, the doors were left unlocked with the items on the seat. Please lock your cars and remove all items, including briefcases, cell phones and navigation devices from plain view. If you see something suspicious (suspicious is defined as something that does not seem right to you), please immediately call the non-emergency number 713-221-6000 (option 1) or 911, if necessary, we can continue to keep Southdown Village safe. Register your name at www. copperfield.org/sl_register for updates on crime and community activities.

(SD) Remember…..

• 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.

Please note that trash can only be put out the night before the scheduled pickup and must be put away by the end of the next day. Pickup days are Tuesday and Friday. We conducted a monthly inspection and have noted many violators.

WESTCREEK CRIME WATCH Meetings - 3rd Monday at 6 PM Forest Heights Pool Meeting Room

Be aware and alert for suspicious persons and activities. SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING! Don’t hesitate to call the Sheriff Dept.’s non-emergency number 713-221-6000 - remember to program this number into your cell phone. Please keep your vehicles, doors and windows locked. Do not leave valuables in sight. Set home alarms and remember all alarm systems need to have a yearly permit. The Alarm Permit Application can be found at www. hcso.hctx.net (our website). First time registration of an alarm is $35 and the renewal fee each year thereafter is $10. Those 65 years and older must register the home alarm, but the fee is waived. According to the Harris County Alarm Detail website, “to continue to lawfully operate an alarm system, the permit must be renewed with Harris County before it expires.” Another issue is the increase in false alarms, which takes deputies away from patrol. There has been discussion with the Chamber of Commerce about issuing fines ranging from $50 to $100 for repetitive false alarms at homes and businesses. Let’s all be more diligent in renewing alarm permits and setting alarms correctly.

(WC) Safety Suggestion

(WC) National Night Out Neighborhood Night Out will be celebrated on Tuesday, October 2, 2012. Please mark this date on your calendar and get to know your block captain. Many streets in Westcreek do not have a block captain. Serving as a block captain takes very little time, but it is a significant contribution to our neighborhood. If you would like more information on the role of a block captain and the minimum time requirement involved, contact Larry Berger at larry.berger@sug.com (email). Also, for National Night Out you don’t have to be a block captain to organize the gathering of your neighbors on your street. Contact Larry Berger for more details.

(WC) YARD OF THE MONTH

The Yard of the Month program continues as summer marches on. Lots of rain, sunshine and hard work have produced some spectacular results within our community. August winners were as follows: 1st - 17322 Emerald Isle Ct. 2nd - 7702 Colony Pt. 3rd - 17305 Hamilwood Great job to all those selected for August YOM consideration!

(WC) SEPTEMBER GARDENING TIPS

Please be advised that due to the heavy rains we experienced earlier this summer, Brown Patch is once again a problem in Westcreek. This fungus can be really problematic and spoil an otherwise beautiful lawn if proper treatment and prevention is not administered timely. As a further reminder to what was addressed in last month’s newsletter; September/October is when we typically begin to see a significant increase in Brown Patch fungus. This problematic fungus will likely re-appear where you have had it before. The best strategy for limiting and controlling Brown Patch: • Change your watering schedule by eliminating any evening watering sessions. Leaving the lawn wet in the evening is an open invitation for Brown Patch to appear. • Alter your fertilizer in use to limit the amount of nitrogen to only a “slowrelease” combination. • For prevention, 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. • For treatment, Fertilome liquid systemic, Daconil or a double dose or Terrachlor should help stop any apparent signs from growing or increasing. • Liquid treatments do a better job of reaching down into the root areas of the treatment areas, but the affectivity last only 2-3 weeks, requiring repeated treatments. Granular treatments take longer to take hold and are slow to reach down into all affected root areas, but provide a longer lasting solution. A staggered, 2-part solution that includes an initial liquid treatment followed by a granular treatment 2/3 weeks after the initial treatment provides best results. • If you have fungus in mulch areas, you can simply turn the mulch over to bury the affected area if the fungus has not yet dried or you can do nothing Fungus in mulch areas typically disappears after 36 hours and is not cause for alarm nor will it cause damage. You should have fertilized your lawn in July using a slow-release ratio product (19-4-10 or close is good), so get ready to winterize in October/ November. Make sure what you apply in those cooler months is engineered for winterization as summer feed will not prepare your lawn adequately for the cooler months we have been yearning for since March. Late floral blooms may still be enjoyed - enjoy them and prune properly to allow for optimal growth plant shaping/balance. Football (and marching band) season is back! A time of year most of us welcome with open arms, but try not to allow game day (or night) to interfere too much with enjoying your yard/garden activities. Remember school is also back in session. Be sure to adjust any watering schedules that occur in the morning hours to not occur as children are walking to bus stops. Drive safely and be aware of little ones during school hours.

The topics

Speeding and running of stop signs. This is seriously out of control. The speeding and running of stop signs throughout our area has become increasingly worse over the years. A very large number of people have expressed their concern for the safety of their children. They have indicated to us that they are fearful of riding their bicycles, walking to the playground or pool and even fearful of playing in their front yard and having a car jump the curb, as it has happened numerous times in our community. There are instances where drivers who are speeding are unable to maintain control and have ended up in people’s yards, through their fences and have even crashed into houses. We have also had numerous complaints of drivers running stop signs. There have been accidents and several near misses (including pedestrians) within our communities due to this problem. Brothels and human trafficking. There are quite a few businesses that are operating as brothels. Some use call girls while others use forced slave labor (human trafficking). These businesses had plagued the Champions area for some time and now are moving into our community. There is one located at the corner of Tuckerton and Barker Cypress next to the Animal Clinic. There are three located on FM 529, one of them is extremely close to Langham Creek High School. It is directly across the street from Kroger, right next door to Apple Dental. The other two are located at Eldridge and FM 529 and near 290 and FM 529. There are a couple more near the intersection of SH6 and West Little York, one being in an office building. Drugs and narcotic distribution centers. There have been a couple of homes within the Coalition boundaries that have been raided, as they were classified as grow houses (production of illegal substances). There are pharmacies within our area that have been dubbed “Mom and Pop” pharmacies, referring to small privately owned pharmacies that sell prescription drugs in mass quantities illegally. Customers have been known to come as far away as Louisiana for these transactions. There are also three businesses on FM 529 which are called smoke houses (drug paraphernalia) shops, one of them being diagonally across from Langham Creek High School.

Copperfield

All residents in the area are encouraged to attend and voice their concerns, provide suggestions and ask questions. Please submit your questions in advance in an attempt to save time. Please go to our website and click on the contact us page or you may email Anthony@copperfieldcoalition.COM with your questions. Do 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. These problems mentioned above will affect our property values and our way of life as much or more than lowincome housing. We urge you to attend and hope for another large turnout. Sincerely, The Board of Directors CopperfieldCoalition.COM

CFISD GLOBAL VOLUNTEERS

Cy Fair ISD continues to be known for its winning combination of district administration, teachers, school staff, parents, community partners and volunteers, each contributing to the success of CFISD students and schools, with volunteers being a huge factor in this equation. Many schools do not have the volunteer base to fill the needs of students and staff; fortunately, CFISD Global Volunteers are willing to reach out, lend a helping hand and get the job done. Global Volunteer opportunities throughout the year are widespread, ranging from vision and hearing screening, mentoring, tutoring, Junior Achievement and other instructional presentations. Whatever your talent may be, there is a niche for you. If you are not the parent, legal guardian or grandparent of a student enrolled in the school at which you would like to volunteer, State law requires certain procedures in order the ensure the safety of all students. These steps are encompassed by the CFISD Global Volunteer program. 1. Visit www.cfisd.net/dept2/pie/globalvol_forms 2. Print “Background Check” and “Global Volunteer Application” 3.

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.

GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL COPPER CORNERS SERVICE UNIT

Girls and adults in the Copper Corners Service unit have been having a busy summer! Many of our scouts have been attending Council resident, day and twilight camps. Some have been campers, some program aides and others have been camp counselors or volunteers. Council camps always have lots of interesting sessions for all ages and activities range from fishing (catch and release) to fencing and from archery to astronomy. That’s not counting sailing, canoeing, swimming and horseback riding. And where else do you have crazy hat days and learn all those camp songs?

"THE CHAMPION OF APPLIANCE REPAIR"

The Bates family (mom Anne and daughters Jessica and Kristina) joined hundreds of other Girl Scouts from around San Jacinto Council for Scout Day with the Astros on July 29th. They all walked around the field in a parade and joined in several hours of fun activities. To top it all off, the Astros won! Kristina and Jessica also volunteered at the Reliant Center Dog Show on July 21st. They filled in so other volunteers could take breaks, walked dogs and helped out in the sales area. The girls also spent time talking to prospective “adoptive parents” of rescue dogs and described the day as a “great experience.” Believe In Girls?

Boy Scout Troop 61

Young men between the ages of 11-18 are encouraged to visit Boy Scout Troop 61 at 7:00 PM Wednesday nights at Peace Community Church, 5151 Addicks Satsuma Road, Houston, Texas, 77084. They will get a hands-on experience of what Scouting has to offer and have the opportunity to visit with the Scouts and their adult leaders to learn more about the things the troop has done during meetings and activities. Scouting activities include camping, fishing, archery, rifle/shotgun shooting, hiking, first aid, wilderness survival, community service, citizenship, swimming, leadership, white-water rafting and much more. Troop 61 camps each month and has a group that goes to High Adventure Camp and to Merit Badge Camps each summer.

Eagle Scout hopeful Braely Pace braved rising floodwaters as he spearheaded the work of 17 volunteers to make two playgrounds safer for his preschool alma mater.

The plan had come off with only one hitch - both playgrounds were saturated with rain and the playground located at 15002 Lakewood Forest Drive sat next to an overflowing tributary of Cypress Creek, which had already reached flood stage and was continuing to rise. Despite the floodwaters, Pace and Chad Boase, an assistant director at the school, decided it was safe to move ahead with the much-needed project. Pace joked to Boase, “No one here is afraid to get wet or muddy!” Pace pitched his Eagle project idea to Phillip Sheppard of Living Earth Technology Company, who generously agreed to donate 30 cubic yards of mulch. Pace recruited his hardworking, mostly teenage volunteers from his own congregation, the Longwood Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Pace is no stranger to hard work, growing up on a 500-acre Utah family farm, where he bailed and hauled alfalfa by hand. He returns every summer

Boy Scout Troop 61 meets from 7:00 to 8:00 PM every Wednesday in the Activity Room at Peace Community Church. Contact Mike Viator with Troop 61 if your son is interested in joining a local Boy Scout Troop. Cell: 713-4091934, mike.viator@comcast.net.

Boy Scout Troop 10

Boy Scout Troop 10 meets every Tuesday night during the school year at the West Houston Church of Christ on West Road and Queenston. Our meetings begin at 7 PM. We spend our time working on merit badges, planning for our monthly camp outs and having fun!! We have had a wonderful summer this year! Our older boys, 14 and up, went on a High Adventure camping trip to Alaska! While they were there they were able to go white water rafting, hiking and even see and learn about an Alaskan dog sled team! The younger Scouts, 13 and under, had a great time at Camp Constantin on Possum Kingdom Lake. They were able to work on several merit badges, camp in a lake front campsite, build their own raft for a competition and participate in a Troop Shoot! We are gearing up for the new School year and will be taking our September camp out to Guadalupe River State Park. Now is the perfect time to join us and get started on this fabulous journey! If you have a son in the 6th grade or higher that would like to join in the fun and adventure please contact us. Our Scout Master is Michael Widaski and his number is 713-376 5166.

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.

DECIBELLES (A Barbershop Chorus)

We are a ladies daytime chorus with approximately 30 members. We have been performing in the Houston area for over 30 years. We sing old favorites and contemporary tunes arranged in the barbershop style. The four parts creating the barbershop sound are Tenor, Lead, Baritone and Bass. We rehearse Friday mornings from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm at the Treemont Retirement Center located at 2501 Westerland, off Westheimer and Gessner. We love to have visitors and even more when you decide to join our chorus. For additional information, please call Pat at 281-497-4904 or decibelle@ comcast.net (email). We perform two types of shows each year. Currently we are singing a selection of patriotic songs, Johnny Mathis’ “Chances Are,” Perry Como’s “Hot Diggity Dog” and other fun tunes. You’ll be singing along with us before you know it. Our Christmas show includes old favorites, but also includes new fun tunes with props, narratives and choreography. We’ll begin preparing that program in October and book performances for the first two weeks in December. Come visit any Friday and see how much fun you can have with us.

“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 September. 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.
