Fire trucks are not able to get through when vehicles are parked on BOTH sides of the street and it becomes too narrow. Some homeowners are parking at the end of the cul-de-sacs and not allowing people access to get their mail. These vehicles can and will be towed in an emergency at the homeowner’s expense.
February 2013
Copperfield
VEHICLES ARE REPORTED BEING PARKED IN THE POOL/PARKING AREA AFTER HOURS. TOWING WILL ALSO BE AT THE OWNERS’ EXPENSE.

(EC) Email Listing
The Easton Commons Homeowners Association is putting together an email database of the residents in order to keep as many people informed of community happenings as possible. This list will be used strictly for the purpose of communicating with Easton Commons residents and will not be forwarded to a third party nor used for any other than the stated purpose. You may also use this means to ask questions, make suggestions or present complaints about the community. So far, this has been a really effective means of updating the village on things that will be taking place. It would be even better if there were more of the residents that could be contacted in this way. If you are not on the list and would like to be or have a neighbor who is not on the list, remember an email to easton.commons@yahoo.com will ensure that you are put on the list.
(EC) Crime Watch
Wca’s contract has been awarded again and extended for another year. Curbside pickup will remain approximately at the same rate as last year. New pick up days will be posted by february 2013.
Copperfield

(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 Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office non-emergency number (713-221-6000) to make a report.
(EC) HOME IMPROVEMENTS
To make changes to the exterior appearance of your home (i.e. painting, new windows, new roof, new fence, etc.) an ARC Application must be filled out and sent to SCS Management. All exterior changes must be approved via an ARC Application. A copy of this form can be found at www.copperfield.org under Easton Commons. Until the Architectural Review Committee is filled, the applications will be reviewed by the HOA Board of Directors.

(NM) 2013 HomeOwner’s Association Fees
Annual fees were due January 30, 2013. The fee is $495. A $50 late fee is charged after the due date and interest is charged as well. Please understand the importance of paying this assessment fee. It is what supports the neighborhood amenities and landscaping. A strong homeowners association has a positive impact on your home value. Unfortunately, homes can be foreclosed on and expensive legal fees accrued if a homeowner does not pay these dues. You may pay online with a credit or debit card at grahammanagement.com
(NM) Recycling is Back
Beginning February 1st, Garbage pick-up days will change and recycling will be added to the service. The good news is that your garbage fees will decrease although recycling service is added. The new garbage collection days will be Tuesday for garbage and Friday for garbage and recycling. You will receive more information about this by mail in late January.
(NM) Reminders
Garage Sales are not permitted in Copperfield Northmead. Two times a year, our community holds a neighborhood sale that is well publicized. You will receive notice when these garage sales are planned.

Keeping our Neighborhood Safe!!
You may wonder what you can do to help keep our neighborhoods safe. Here is some helpful information on reducing crime in our community: 1. Know your neighbors. Do they work full time? Know what cars should be in the driveway. If something is different, report it to the non-emergency number, 713-221-6000. 2. Be a Block Captain. Our Block captains are the Key Communicator of Important Events in the Community and any Crime Activity in our neighborhood. If you don’t have a Block captain on your street, please consider volunteering to be the Block Captain for your street. 3. Lock your vehicle when it’s on the street or in your driveway. 4. Don’t keep valuables in your car. This includes cell phones, GPS systems, IPODS, etc. A burglar can smash the window and steal the contents of your car in less than 45 seconds. 5. Keep the non-emergency number posted in your home. Don’t hesitate to report suspicious activity to the non-emergency number - 713-221-6000. 6. To report a crime in progress or another emergency - Call 911!

Southdown Village (SD) CHANGE
Have you experienced any change in your life recently? These days, many people have experienced significant change in their lives as a result of the economy; whether it’s worrying about a job, retirement accounts or what the future holds. Change, whether good or bad, usually brings some level of discomfort. There are always some unknowns with change. Most people even dread changing their bank accounts. Change is inevitable. Whether it is a death of a loved one, a job change or a marriage, change will come. There is fear in change because it always involves something different replacing the familiar. Change is endless and constant. To thrive in life, we must be able to deal with change. We must learn to master change and develop resiliency. Mastering change is the ability to learn, adapt and apply what we learned to other circumstances. Below are ten strategies for mastering change and resiliency: 1. Step away, take a breath and take some time to think realistically about the impact of the change and the strategy for moving forward. We often get caught up in the change itself and cannot think clearly enough to develop a strategy. 2. Adjust your mindset from viewing change as a problem to an opportunity. 3. Think about the different perspectives you could have around the change. What perspective do you choose to be in? 4. Keep sight of the long-term vision, not what the change causes short term. How will your perspective be different a year from now? 5. Be open to learning. If we resist change, our energy is wrapped up in the effort to maintain the status quo. Think, “What can I learn from this?” 6. Change often causes stress. Ask yourself, “What can I control in this situation? What can I do to influence this situation? What do I have to accept about the situation?”

7. Focus on the present moment. Don’t think about what has happened in the past or what could happen in the future. 8. Trust yourself. Developing an inner equilibrium is essential for being resilient in the midst of change. Trust that everything will work out. 9. Improve your ability to respond to change. Stretch yourself in little ways every day. How will you respond to the terrible traffic? How will you react to trying something new? 10. Be open to self-change. In every experience with change, be open to learning and changing yourself. Ask yourself, “How can I grow from this change?” There are four common characteristics that influence resilience: 1. Optimism: Have a positive view of the past and future and don’t be dominated by worry or negativity. 2. Engagement: Become actively involved in life, don’t be passive observers. 3. Mobility: Stay active physically. 4. Adaptability to Loss: Stay balanced by adapting to and accepting change and loss. Change is here to stay. We can’t always control the circumstances, but what we can control is our perspective about change. The next time you are faced with any type of change, challenge yourself to think through some different perspectives, then choose one that will help you productively manage the change and remember “things do not change; we change.”

Increase the availability and quality of charter schools • Raise the current cap on the number of charters by 20 per year. • Allow unlimited number of charters to be approved by regional service centers after training from National Association of Charter Authorizes. • Improve the ability of the Education Commissioner to shut down poor performing or financially unstable charters. • Allow school districts to become Home Rule Charters or to designate any school a charter by the vote of the board. Expand student and parent choice in schools • Allow students to attend any public school of their choice in or out of their district based on capacity.

(SD) Crime Watch
Turn Lanes - Be careful when turning in clearly marked turn lanes at night.

These people have been known to wear black clothing at night and you may be unable to see them until it is too late. Southdown Parks - The parks located in Southdown Village are not public facilities. Homeowners own and maintain these parks. If you see people at the parks that you believe may not be residents, please call the sheriff’s non-emergency number. If they live here fine, if not, they will be asked to leave immediately. Signs have been prominently posted advising that these parks are private property. The deputies have been asked step up patrols of our parks.

Suspicious Persons - Most of the home burglaries in Southdown Village occur between the hours of 8:00 am and 12:00 noon. If you see a strange car or person at your neighbor’s house, call the sheriff’s non-emergency number and report it. If the person is supposed to be there, great. If not, you may have stopped a home burglary. If you see someone loading up a vehicle with items from your neighbor’s home, please call 911. 10 Y clud

(SD) Streetlights
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.
(SD) Southdown Amenities
Backdoor trash pick-up for household items on Mondays and Thursdays (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.

(WC) FEBRUARY GARDENING TIPS
If you still have not yet been able to remove any holiday decorations, please remember to do so ASAP. February will likely continue to bring us cold nights like we saw in December and January. Continue to be prepared to cover any tropicals or temperaturesensitive plants as we potentially will see some evenings that will hover at or below freezing. March will usually bring warmer nights, so be diligent for one more month and protect your plants! If you did not yet get a chance to clean out your gutters this past fall, combining this chore with any tree pruning would serve your home well. Most of the homes within Westcreek are nearing 20 years old now and any help you can give to your home to prevent poor drainage and preserve your siding will save you $$$.
• Identify any limbs that might be a hazard to someone underneath it or to a building or structure nearby. Broken branches, weak branches, narrow growth angles and other “odd” growth faults, should be identified. Any dead or dying growth should be removed, as well as any limbs that cross over or rub against each other, as this can cause disease/damage to the tree/bush, as well as prevent light to filter down into the lower limb areas. Removing such growth will also encourage fruit production in fruit trees and promote ripening during production seasons. • Follow the three-cut method on all large limbs. If a single cut is made the weight of the limb will pull the limb down and damage the trunk or adjacent limb areas before the cut has been completed, which will injure the tree and cause unsightly wounds.
STAGING CERTIFIED 30+ Years of Experience
• Make sure any cuts are done above the flush level with the trunk or adjoining limb. Do not make any stub cuts. • Be sure to not remove lower branches on newly planted trees. Wait until the tree has matured for 2-4 years before lower limbs are removed. • Crape Myrtles should be pruned back to at the very least remove dead seed pods, otherwise new blooms will struggle to become established. Keep in mind that crape myrtles produce blooms from “new wood” or new branch growth, so some pruning is required annually to achieve flowering. • You may choose to select a certain height and then cut all upward limbs to not exceed that height or you may prefer to allow the tree to maintain a natural height and shape, which is somewhat more challenging to do. Either method is acceptable, but realize that allowing for a natural shape will likely allow for more blooms to occur. • Remove all “suckers,” or shoots of new growth from the base of the plant now, as well as during the warmer growth season. Suckers draw nutrients away from other plant areas and cause unsightly growth that will create an odd, unstable shape for the tree/bush. • Trim any removed growth to lengths no greater than 32” and bundle with twine or straps if you plan on disposing via curbside disposal service, otherwise it will not be picked up. Coming in MARCH • Feedings, Weed Control and Spring Preparations! PLEASE remember, whatever you do yourself outdoors, always exercise caution, be safe, use the right tool for the job and protect your eyes, hands and other body parts accordingly. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• End of Subdivision News •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
PRUNING - February is when pruning should begin to take place for hardwood trees, roses and crape myrtles. Following the best approach to cutting and balance will provide the best results;

The Arts at Cy-Christian High School Drama Takes Third in TAPPS Competition: The high school drama class recently completed a successful run of “The Great Pandemonium,” by Pat Cook, entertaining audiences with both in-class and evening performances. Since many of the roles were double cast and the performers took turns playing in the various shows, no two shows were alike, giving each performance an exciting “life of its own.” When the cast and crew took the show on the road to compete at the TAPPS Regional One Act Play Contest, the run culminated with an impressive third place finish. Director Dia Moore was pleased to report that in addition to the accolades for the show, the cast and crew won an extraordinary number of individual awards. Jordan Wandix was named Best Actor. Bailey Comeaux was named to the All Star Cast. Marya Gray, Ben Holman and Kaitlyn Miracle were named to the Honorable Mention Cast. Chris Ramirez and Abby Rangel were named to the All Star Crew. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew of “The Great Pandemonium” for a job well done! Cy-Christian Art Secondary art students completed paintings of landscapes in America. Art teacher Michele Bennett commented, “It was a joy to watch as my students were met with technique challenges, successfully completed their project and were proud of their accomplishments. It is amazing to watch a student gain confidence in their ability to use new and different tools to create and reflect God’s creation.”
Cy-Christian Choir: Under the direction of Mr. David Horn, the high school choirs are preparing for local, state, national and world-wide competitions.

commanded the central unit responsible in the hunt and capture of Saddam Hussein. Through leadership and joint efforts across multiple teams, a large organization worked effectively to capture one of the world’s most notorious criminals. Russell is an American Hero. His proven leadership and problemresolution techniques engage audiences through his storytelling. Salute to Our Heroes has two purposes. First, to give tribute to our heroes soldiers serving now, veterans and those who have been wounded or killed in action. We want to honor those who have served their country. The second purpose is to raise funds for scholarships for Cy-Fair ISD students. Each year we give three scholarships per Cy-Fair ISD high school, and the number of high schools is growing. It has been a challenge keeping up with the demand, but CFEF is dedicated to this mission. The inaugural event honors Jersey Village High School graduate 1st Lt. Jeremy E. Ray, who was killed December 20, 2007 while serving his country in Iraq. A CFEF endowment was established in Jeremy’s memory by an anonymous donor. Last year the 1st Lieutenant Jeremy Ray Community Service and Peace Award was presented to Klein Funeral Homes & Memorials.

Proceeds from this event go to an endowment enabling graduating students from CFISD to attend college. The event will be generously underwritten by Earthcare Management and Kodiak Gas Services, as the Missing Man Underwriters. The Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital will be the Major General Sponsor. This year our guest speaker is Steve Russell. LTC Steve Russell (Ret.)

All Our Painting is done with a Brush and Roller Only!
Following tradition, the event will have the Missing Man Table & Honors Ceremony. The table will have empty table settings with chairs leaning up against the table as though saved for someone. The table settings have a single red rose displayed in a vase in reminder of the bloodshed for our country and the vase was tied with a red ribbon - a symbol of the continued pledge to shed blood for our country. A slice of lemon on the bread plate is a reminder of the bitterness of the loss of comrades in arms; a bowl of salt to symbolize the tears shed by family members of lost loved ones and glasses turned upside down indicate no one will sit there. Last year’s ceremony was performed by the 75th Army Division Honor Guard and was proceeded by Taps performed by William Veenstra, Cy-Fair High School Senior.

DISTRICT RECOMMENDS VACCINATIONS, TREATMENT IN WAKE OF FLU ACTIVITY
For more information on the flu, including a vaccine finder, please visit TexasFlu.org. To find information on where to receive a flu shot, contact a health care provider, a local health department or dial 2-1-1.
In response to reports of the influenza virus throughout the state, CypressFairbanks ISD is joining the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) in urging students, staff and community members to receive a flu vaccination and taking additional steps to protect against the flu.
Langham Creek High School junior, Jerome Segura, floats a shot amid a group of South Grand Prairie defenders during the championship game of the Cypress Hoops Invitational Tournament.
According to the DSHS, each season’s flu vaccine provides protection against three strains of flu. Researchers with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have reported that the current vaccine is well matched with strains of the flu in circulation. “Since prevention of disease is the best way to protect the health and wellness of CFISD students, staff and community, the CFISD health services department supports the CDC and DSHS recommendation that all people aged 6 months and older be immunized against influenza,” said Bevin Gordon, CFISD director of health services. As of Dec. 3rd, the CDC reported that approximately 37 percent of the U.S. population aged 6 months and older had been vaccinated, with children showing the highest rate of vaccination (45 percent). The DSHS recommends a vaccination for everyone 6 months or older, especially those in the high-risk groups - children, those aged 65 and older, pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions. In addition to vaccinations, Gordon and the health services team are encouraging parents and students to protect themselves and others by washing their hands frequently, covering coughs and sneezes and staying home from school if they are exhibiting flu-like symptoms until they are feverfree for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.

2013 Relay For Life of Cy-Fair Cy Falls High School
Friday, April 26, 2013 - 7:00 pm Come join our planning committee or register your own team to help raise money for cancer in our Cy-Fair community!! The Heart of Relay: During the Relay for Life event, three ceremonies are held: Survivors Lap: To start Relay, those who have survived their battle with cancer join together to walk a lap celebrating their victories over the disease. Luminaria Ceremony: At dark, the track is lined with candle-lit bags bearing the names of those who have been touched by or have lost their lives to cancer. Fight Back Ceremony: Before participants leave Relay, they make a personal commitment to help fight back against cancer in several ways. As interest in Relay for Life grew in the Houston area, the American Cancer Society began forming events in local communities and the first Cy-Fair Relay for Life committee was formed in 2004. This is our 9th year in Cy-Fair and our goal is to reach the $1 Million Dollar Mark. We are very close and only need $150,000 to meet our goal and with YOUR help, we can make this goal a reality!! 100% of our profits go to ACS to use for research and other programs. With more than 1,000 participants in last year’s Relay, we know that we can grow even bigger this year!

Even though there will be no collection of money, awesome prizes will still be given. Don’t know how to play Bunco? No problem! It is a simple and easy to learn game that you will become addicted to! To find out more please email CCM at jsimpson@cypresscalling.com or come check out our website www.cypresscalling.com for more info.

It is a great way for your group to give back to the community.
GIVE AN HOUR™ NETWORK - Provides Free Counseling to Troops and Families
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 posttraumatic 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. Give an Hour™ is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national network of mental health professionals providing free counseling services to returning troops and their families. Give an Hour™ offers services to veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and their family members. Family members are loosely defined to include married or unmarried partners, parents, siblings, aunts/ uncles—anyone connected to the veteran who is suffering a psychological effect related to the veteran’s service. Banyan Counseling Network has an office located near the North Cypress Medical Center and is trained to provide individual and family counseling. Family support groups are also currently forming. People interested in receiving services through Give an Hour™ are encouraged to call 281-855-1982 or log on to www.banyancounseling.com, (click Military Families link) or www. giveanhour.org to determine availability or to locate another provider in your area.

“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 February. 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.

Veterinary Public Health Division
HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal. Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County Animal Control) advises that “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.” Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following circumstances: 1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not have access to sidewalk or street.” While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained. Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet.

In 2007, Harris County moved to ban sales of animals along public roads and parking lots in unincorporated areas. A violation is a Class C misdemeanor which can mean a $500 fine.

We care so much about the Dachshund breed that we can’t bear the thought of any Dachshund suffering. We have one sole purpose and that is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home Dachshunds in need of a second chance at life and love. Our rescue efforts are primarily focused on purebred (and a few mixed) Dachshunds from pounds and shelters. We also aid in the rescue of Dachshunds forced to live in deplorable and inhumane conditions, as well as those which have been abused, abandoned, neglected and starved of food and human affection their entire lives. We believe there is a loving home somewhere for every dachsie rescued… some just take a little longer to find. Become a Foster Parent today or Opt to Adopt! - Not in a position to adopt? We are always in need of additional foster homes. As a foster parent, you have the opportunity to help many dogs by simply providing a safe and secure environment in which a rescued Dachshund can live and be loved until they are physically and emotionally ready to be adopted. Your only out of pocket expense is a little dog food, which, if you already own a dog, you already have in place.
