Copperfield Place Village (CPV) A WORD FROM THE BOARD
GARAGE SALE time is here again! The Spring Garage Sale for CPV is scheduled for Saturday, April 20th. This is a good time to clean out all your unused clothing, goods, tools, books etc. that you no longer use. It is also a good time to meet some of the neighborhood. Times will be from dawn to dusk. THE CPV ANNUAL BOARD MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR MAY 20th. THIS IS FOR GENERAL BUSINESS ONLY. Rain gauges were installed in various areas throughout our cul-de-sacs & greenbelt where we have irrigation systems in place. We have had several calls on this issue; however, this is mandatory by the State/County Water District in order for them to monitor water consumption during the hot summer months. If we have another dry summer and water restrictions are imposed, they will be able to establish if we are in violation of these restrictions. We have no control of this issue. We will be painting them so that they don’t look too bad.
(CPV) POOL & PARKS COMMITTEE
Crime Reports
The pool is scheduled to be opened on Saturday, May 4th and CPV is presently planning to have a pool opening “Party” at that time catered by James Coney Island. More to be announced next month. This is a good way to meet and welcome any of our new families that have moved into our neighborhood. New loungers have been approved by the board for our pool area. Rules remain the same as always.
• 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.
We would like to set out more Sego palms, so now is the time to pull out the new palm plants coming out from your plant and donate them to the pool. All the Segos we planted in the pool area were donated and no money was spent. They have all done very well during the hot and cold months.
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.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office participates in the CrimeReports.com system.

THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL CITATIONS AGAINST HOMEOWNERS WITH INOPERABLE VEHICLES ON THEIR DRIVEWAY. INOPERABLE VEHICLES CANNOT BE PARKED IN ANY ONE PLACE LONGER THAN 24 HRS. 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 wheelchair accessibility! Fire trucks are not able to get through when vehicles are parked on BOTH sides of the street and it becomes too narrow.

(CPV) LANDSCAPING AND YARDS
Planting of shrubs, palms, etc. on corner lots must be kept trimmed at all times. There has been areas sited where it was difficult to see upcoming vehicles even on the sidewalks, due to the untrimmed shrubs. This is very dangerous and can cause accidents. Springtime is here, please keep yards trimmed. The yard of the Month will begin in may.

Do you want to know what’s going on in your neighborhood? Be a Block Captain! Southcreek Community Association would like to have every street in Southcreek have a Block captain. A Block captain will receive occasional emails from the Southcreek HOA and the Crime Watch committees and then pass them on to the other residents on their street. Being a Block Captain requires very little time, but they play a very important role in our community.

(SD) (SD) SPRING CLEANING
The term “spring cleaning” probably conjures images of Lucy and Ethel in aprons and handkerchiefs, scrubbing the grout with toothbrushes. These days, we often use the phrase in reference to a variety of things, from clearing out the garage to going through your work inbox. If you talk to your mother or grandmother, however, you’ll hear about the days when every nook and cranny was scrubbed and polished until the whole

house gleamed. Spring cleaning was not a phrase to be taken lightly and it was not a choice. It was an arduous task taken every spring without fail. You hear the term all the time, but how many people actually keep up with this tradition in modern times? In theory, it sounds like a fantastic idea, but is it manageable? The answer is a resounding yes. Not only can it be manageable, it is essential to keeping your household fresh, clean and healthy. What Is Spring Cleaning? Essentially, spring cleaning is about clearing out the things you no longer use, while at the same time doing a deep cleaning of the entire house. It is a time to downsize your home and take on tasks that only need to be tackled once or twice a year. How To Take on Spring Cleaning 1. One Fell Swoop With this approach, you set aside a block of time to get the entire project done, whether that may be an entire weekend or an entire week. The idea here is that you get spring cleaning done and over with as quickly as possible. Even though it may be intense at the time, you will not have the project hanging over your head for long. 2. Break It Down into Smaller Projects In contrast, you could break your spring cleaning down into many smaller projects, spread out over time. For instance, you could spend one Saturday cleaning up the outside of the house, another Saturday working on sorting out old items for selling on eBay and yet, another Saturday shining up your place. This might be the better approach for someone who is unable to block out a chunk of time to dedicate to cleaning. Either of these will work, as long as you commit to completing the chores. Don’t choose the one fell swoop approach if you think you may get overwhelmed and run out of time. Likewise, make sure that if you choose to break things up, you schedule time for each project and stick to it. The point of this overall household deep clean is kind of lost if it stretches on for six months, or is never finished. Spring Cleaning Tips and Strategies Now that you’ve decided what approach you are going to take, you are ready to start cleaning! Well, maybe not quite. You still need a clear, well thought out plan to help things run as smoothly as possible. Here are ten tips and strategies to help you create a workable plan for spring cleaning: 1. Make a list - List out all that you would like to accomplish during this year’s spring cleaning and then, group the like tasks, such as washing window screens and washing the siding on your home. This will make it easier for you to go from one task to another without having to waste time wondering what to do next. 2. Assemble a team - If your family is willing and able, get them to work with you as a team. If you are single or live alone, get some of your friends to help you with the promise that you will help them in return. Then, assign tasks according to the strengths of your team members. You may also want to allow the team members to sign up for tasks, similarly to how they would sign up on a cleaning schedule. Remember, the more, the merrier! 3. Gather your supplies - Spend the week before spring cleaning begins gathering up the supplies you’ll need. If you require visits to several different stores, plan to hit a store a day during that week. Or if you’re planning well in advance, buy your supplies when they go on sale and utilize discount grocery coupons. You can also rely on using safe, natural household cleaners, such as baking soda and vinegar. 4. Plan ahead for time-consuming tasks - If you’re planning any time-consuming tasks, set aside extra time outside of your actual spring cleaning schedule. For example, if you are going to shampoo your carpets, they will need a day or two to dry. You don’t want to have to worry about avoiding them when you’re trying to do everything else. Plan to do them before or even after, you set about completing the rest of your cleaning.

5. Focus on one task at a time - Don’t fumble around when you have a lot to do. Sometimes you may start jumping from one task to another without ever really completing anything. To avoid this, make it a priority to focus on one task at a time. If you attempt to do too many things at once, Hair • Color • Nails you will only get lost and forget what you are doing. This is a great time Hair • Color • Nails Hair • Color • Nails management skill to have as well. 6. Recognize your progress - It is easy to get discouraged when Book your hair, nail and makeup appointment for Prom today! you have a large project and you are only focusing on what you have left to do. Focus on what you have completed and to recognize your progress. Similarly, at the end of your spring cleaning shift, be sure to look back to reflect on all you have done and be proud of your hard work. 7. Be realistic - Know that spring cleaning is a big project. It takes hard work and sacrifice when you could easily be doing something else. But also ming Welco Amy know that you will get a sense of satisfaction and pride out of the hard work Donna Shelly Carolyn Nail Specialist Salon Coordinator / Makeup Artist Stylist Stylist / Owner you put in. There is joy in pushing yourself to the limit and reaching your goals. 8. Take breaks - You are not a machine, so don’t feel like you need to act like one.

Westcreek needs volunteer Block Captains. This volunteer service takes very little time and contributes a lot to the community. For more information, contact Larry Berger at larry.berger@sug.com Please plan on attending the Annual Westcreek Homeowners Meeting. The May date, time and location of the HOA meeting will be announced on the Hudson Oaks and Forest Heights bulletin boards near the street. Held only once a year, this meeting is very important because it is a time everyone can learn about our neighborhood’s needs and concerns. Be a good neighbor and remember to park your vehicles in the garage or in your driveway, especially at night. Parking in the street causes traffic flow problems and can often impede emergency vehicles from getting to a scene. It also deters crime. Not only has there been an increase in vehicles being broken into, several truck tailgates have been stolen (especially Ford models). Do your part to keep Westcreek safe, as well as looking nice. Clear streets look nicer than congested ones due to parking on the curbs. AND remember to keep your vehicles locked at all times and remove valuables in plain sight.
(WC) SHERIFF DEPARTMENT INFORMATION
If you notice anything suspicious in the neighborhood, report it directly to the non-emergency Sheriff Department’s number at 713-221-6000, # 1. Take a minute to program this number in the cell phone of each family member. The more eyes, the better the crime prevention.

(WC) TIPS TO PREVENT IDENtITY THEFT DURING TAX TIME
As tax time approaches, we need to remember that identity theft is one of the nation’s fastest growing crimes and identity thieves will be looking for victims - especially at this time of year. Here are some tips to protect against identity theft as we prepare for the April 15th deadline: a) Always use a cross-cut shredder to destroy into unidentifiable pieces all unneeded paper documents containing sensitive information; b) By Feb 15th, if you haven’t received W-2 forms and other required tax documents containing sensitive information, contact the IRS for assistance at 800-829-1040. Missing forms could mean an identity thief went through your mail. The IRS never sends out unsolicited emails or telephone calls asking for personal information. Report any suspicious emails, Phishing or possible identify tactics; c) If filing on-line, choose a tax filing service you are familiar with, or go to the IRS website www.irs.gov/efile to view the list of IRS approved companies; d) Frequently change passwords between December and April if storing taxrelated documents on your computer; e) Make sure every website during tax filing is encrypted to protect personal information when transmitted; f) If filing taxes by mail, try to send completed tax returns from a locked mailbox or the

Use an extra sheet of paper to enclose all the documents within, as well as to disguise the contents of the envelope.

take some time to walk along the drainage ditch between Hudson Oaks and Barker Cypress and enjoy the beauty. Resident Pat Gayle has created a beautiful sign that will be posted in the area every year announcing the emergence of nature’s beauty. Thank you Pat! Parkways Please be advised that planting flowers, trees or shrubs, although welcome by most and usually adding beauty to our homes and neighborhood, can be removed without notice by Harris County as the parkway areas (the area between the sidewalk and the curb) are considered county easement areas. Large trees, shrubs or over-reaching plants in these areas can become an obstruction to drivers, homeowners trying to exit their driveways or residents walking along sidewalks. Yard of the Month Yard of the Month will resume in May, with the first selections being reviewed late in April. Many individuals have already started to get things in order and have been working hard in the cooler months (smart!). Good Luck to those who are dedicated to getting their lawn and garden areas in top condition and have been working hard already this spring! Your neighbors and the community as a whole really appreciate all efforts made to make our neighborhood as beautiful as can be. A green, full lawn and lots of color will be a great way to make your property noticed, not to mention timely attention to manicuring. (WC) APRIL GARDENING TIPS April is upon us and yes, it is pleasantly warmer. Irrigation frequency should be adjusted slightly to account of the longer and somewhat warmer days, but do not over water - your lawn will not green up substantially until our evenings do not consistently fall below 80, which will not take place until early or mid-May. LAWN/GARDEN CARE • Your lawn may still be suffering from an excess of weeds as rains bring out unwanted, as well as wanted growth. Be sure to apply a post-emergent
Copperfield
broadleaf product such as Fertilome Weed-Free Zone or Bonide Weed Beater Ultra to control weeds and prevent your lawn from having to compete for nutrients. Using a liquid product is usually always more preferable and environmentally safer than a granular product.
The Salon & Spa at Pine Forest Hair (texture, color, cuts), Makeup Application, Nails, Facials, Massages, Waxing
• If you have not already started feeding your lawn with nutrients this spring, now is definitely the time as your lawn and annuals are in need of nutrients more difficult to receive during the fall and winter months. A fertilizer product with a 15-5-10 product will help carry your lawn into the upcoming warmer months, in addition to applying manure based top-dressing to your lawn, but only before it gets too warm.

Copperfield Coalition A Non-Profit Incorporated Organization
Low Income Apartments
Once again, we have stopped the development of another low-income complex, the one within the main entrance of the Stone Gate community on Queenston near Barker Cypress. This was an apartment complex for the low income elderly. We held two meetings, one with Amy Peck with Senator Patrick’s office and Edith Gibson with Rep. Elkin’s office. The second meeting was with the developer, Galaxy Companies (San Antonio) who had filed with TDHCA for the 2013 9% tax credit. The developer was planning to build a Five (5) story complex with 98 units and roughly 200 parking spaces. It was to be located on a lot three acres in size, pie-shaped and located directly behind Romero’s restaurant and the State Farm office. The Coalition registered with the TDHCA as an entity that can give or remove points, which affects whether a developer would receive approval from TDHCA. In a formal letter sent to the developer via email, we informed him that we were registered with the TDHCA and that we were opposing this project. We also informed him that we were going to request our elected officials to do the same. A short time later, he replied back with one brief sentence, “We will not be moving forward with this project.” We chose to oppose this to TDHCA for the following reasons: 1. The location that has been selected is too small for the facility. It is not feasible to build a 98-unit complex with 200 parking spaces on a 3-acre lot (pie-shaped).

2. The structure that is being considered will be five (5) stories in height, backed up to a residential community and there are no structures beyond two stories within a several mile radius.

3. The area does not have mass transit to accommodate the elderly who can no longer drive. 4. The proposed complex will not provide transportation for those elderly who can no longer drive. 5. This complex is being proposed outside the city limits and there are no social services to aid the low-income residents. As reported in last month’s issue, a second developer, Kilday Realty Corporation, had also filed for a 9% tax credit to build a low-income housing development. It was planned to be built on West Road just west of Telge right next door to the new Kid’s World Learning Center. After the Coalition spoke with Mr. Kilday on three separate occasions, he chose to withdraw his application. Mr. Kilday held up his agreement not to proceed, as it is no longer listed on the TDHCA March 2013 Application Log. March 1st was the deadline to file for full application.
Parking of 18 Wheelers
A few months ago, a resident from Copper Grove informed the Coalition that 18-wheelers were parking on Grove Park Drive, a street that connects between Copper Grove and Northmeade of Copperfield. These 18 wheelers were parking for extended periods of time and have been noted to have on occasion, the drivers sleeping in their cabs. These trucks were also leaking excessive amounts of diesel motor oil and hydraulic fluid on the street.
If you see any commercial vehicles parking on Grove Park Drive, please call the Sheriff Department’s non-emergency number and request it to either receive a citation or be towed. If you see any 18-wheelers parking within the Coalition boundaries that are not on commercial property, please inform us so we may address the issue.
Monthly Meetings Open to All
Come to one of our meetings and find out what we are all about. If you are interested in protecting the integrity of our communities, our lifestyle and our property values, then please attend. The Copperfield Coalition meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month from 7 PM to 9 PM at the Copperfield Community Center, 15409 Willow River Drive.

The Coalition contacted Commissioner Steve Radack’s office and requested the placement of no parking signs for commercial vehicles. After a couple of emails back and forth, we received a call from Commissioner Radack’s office informing us that on February 26th, a No Overnight Parking sign was installed. We would like to thank Commissioner Radack’s office for assisting us with this issue.

IMPORTANT DATES April - No Holidays/Early Dismissals
MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINDENDANT
February 15, 2013 Dear Friends: As the 83rd Texas Legislature entered its sixth week of session, I traveled to Austin to attend two important hearings that will impact the future of CFISD students and teachers. I attended both the Senate Education Committee and House Committee on Public Education hearings and walked out of both meetings with an optimistic outlook for positive change in public education. Chaired by local Sen. Dan Patrick, the Senate Education Committee hearing focused on SB 3, a graduation plan bill authored by Sen. Patrick. If passed, this bill will create a new foundation program for high school graduation comprised of 11.5 elective credits and 14.5 specified credits. Additionally, students can earn endorsements in one of four areas (business/industry, arts/ humanities, STEM or “distinguished” by completing further requirements). The goal of SB 3 is to better prepare students for post-secondary opportunities in light of the changing economic and business needs. A panel of superintendents did an excellent job reinforcing flexible academic plans for all students. The House Committee on Public Education, chaired by Rep. Jimmie Don Aycock, held its first meeting February 13th. This initial hearing included testimony by Education Commissioner Michael Williams, who provided information on key priorities -maintaining high expectations amid successful results, the importance of the 4x4 graduation plan and closing the achievement gap. The next day, we had the opportunity to hear directly from Sen. Patrick and Rep. Aycock at the Texas School Alliance meeting, where I and other superintendents discussed our hopes for the 83rd session. The tone of this meeting matched the positive feel of both hearings.

While we know that the legislative climate can change on a whim, we are optimistic that during this session meaningful change will occur in the areas of high school graduation programs, high-stakes testing and the accountability system. I look forward to more trips to the State Capitol throughout this session to ensure that CFISD’s interests are protected and to communicating our progress back to you. Sincerely, Mark Henry, Ed.D.
SUMMER SCHOOL DATES
CFISD announced the 2013 summer school dates for elementary, middle school and high school. Summer school programs will be held between June 17 - Aug. 8, 2013. Schools will not be in session on Fridays or July 4th - 5th.
SAVING THE PRAIRIE
Eleventh grade art student Kitt Kroeger presents CFISD Science Resource Center Manager, Alice Flood, with two tarps she painted depicting summer and winter scenes on the Katy Prairie. The tarps serve as backdrops in a new exhibit at the center encouraging CFISD second graders to learn and care about the most imperiled ecosystem on the planet. Once covering much of the Houston-Galveston area, the coastal prairie is now threatened by encroaching development. Hosting over 1,000 species of animals (including insects), the dwindling grassland is rich in biological, cultural and economic significance. Created to foster a new generation of prairie conservationists, the Katy Prairie Conservancy has been promoting awareness, education and advocacy among both schoolchildren and the citizenry in hopes that they will engage in volunteer restoration efforts to save the prairie. If you would like to join the effort, please contact Jaime Gonzalez, KPC Community Education Director at 281-660-6683 or jgonzalez@katyprairie.org

Thankfully, my rescuer found me before the cold and the rains came, but I was really hungry and getting thinner each day. Something told me to wait outside that building in Greenspoint and it worked! My skin was a mess (mange) and I needed shots and deworming. But, after regular meals and clean water, my coat looks great! I am a young adult who loves to walk on a leash. It would be so much fun to have a running or jogging buddy in my new home. A dog friend would also be nice.

LCHS COLORGUARD
The Langham Creek Colorguard debuted its 2013 indoor competitive show, “My Bleeding Heart” last February at the Cypress Lakes contest. The show, which is set to the music of The Moody Blues, showcases the group’s trademark precision with equipment in a sea of white sheer and 10’ tall moving props. “As always, the program will continue to grow and develop as the season progresses,” said longtime Director Tim Newburn. “But we are very pleased with the preparedness of this year’s group. They have such an increased sense of communication as performers and are taking the next steps in their dance training very seriously. They work both hard and smart and we couldn’t be more proud of them.” The current group, comprised only of Freshmen and Sophomores, placed second at their first outing and had the crowd wanting more. The Langham Creek Colorguard has won their class at Championships a total of 5 times. You can catch these amazing young performers at contests throughout Houston in the upcoming months. Check for dates and times at loboband. com (website).

COPPER CORNERS SERVICE UNIT GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL
Copper Corners Service Unit held a “Me and My Guy event” on March 2nd at Aragon Middle School. Girls and their special guys (dads, granddads, uncles…) participated in “Passport to Italy.” It was a regular red carpet night and fashion display, as the young ladies and their chosen escorts arrived. Sequins and sparkles, velvet and lace all were part of the fashion parade. A number of couples were also elegantly color-coordinated. Wrist corsages of ribbon roses or real flowers added a stylish note and we noticed one young lady with a bouquet of beautiful yellow tulips! The event began with a delicious dinner of penne pasta, sauce and meatballs, served with salad and rolls and cake for dessert. The cafeteria was transformed into an Italian restaurant, with red checked tablecloths and flower centerpieces. Girls made trinket boxes and spoon puppets and also built “leaning towers” out of marshmallows and toothpicks - along with pyramids and geodesic domes and other creative constructions. The “goodie walk” and bingo areas were also popular and girls learned about different pasta shapes and trivia. A “Photograph by Misty” made a great souvenir of the evening. Can’t help wondering how many of the mustache party favors made an appearance in the photographs! It is always such fun to see the girls dancing with their dads or other special guys. DJ’s Andy and Caroline Bartos provided a mix of Italian favorites (like “Amore”) and more current musical selections that enlivened dinner and got a group of very lively dancers out on the floor! Many thanks to all who helped to make the evening a success, especially Elaine Boubenider, Jerilyn Kortegast and Kristin Kolb, our event chairs. We also are thankful to the older Scouts, who ran the goodie walk and bingo games, as well as helping in many other areas. Thanks also, to all our adult volunteers and to Donna Fontenot, Windee Falla and Felicia Ferguson of our steering committee. April 28th is the scheduled date for our Daisy Day Event. Information has been sent to all our Daisy troops about this afternoon event. Contact Diane Massie for more information Dianne.massie@att.net or 281-550-9148. We are expecting to have information on Brownie Day soon, as well as a service unit Bridging event, for troops who are moving to the next Girl Scout Level. Look for more information coming soon!

Sales of Girl Scout cookies continued through March, but if you didn’t stock up, you might have to wait until next year!

Hosting a foreign exchange student is easier than you may think
During the 2012-2013 school year, students from all across the world will have the opportunity to travel to Houston and surrounding communities to spend the entire school year in the United States, learning and working with American Families. In order for the students to come to the U.S. they must have proper host families lined up. Now is a crucial time of year for the Ayusa program as local staff coordinators to find local host families for the upcoming school year. The Ayusa program is celebrating its 30th year this year and is responsible for more than 60,000 students from 75 different countries spending the school year in the United States. There are not many strict requirements that need to be met to host a student. The most important thing is that those who host students are doing so for the right reason; providing a loving experience and an exposure to American culture.

There are a few basic requirements, of course. Anyone older than 25 and can provide food and shelter for a student fulfills the requirements of being a host family. There is a background check, reference check and an interview. Background checks have to be done on everyone over 18 living in the home. The host families have to be interested in it for the right reasons, the cultural exchange of learning from them and them learning from us. It’s the language, the cooking, the music, the food. The host family has to be genuinely interested. Once the host families and students are matched, Ayusa stays involved by monthly contacts with the families, students and quarterly contacts with the schools. Ayusa coordinators also handle the host family orientations and the student orientations. Group activities, such as community service and seeing things with the group of exchange students is also arrange throughout their academic year. With the current school year quickly coming to an end Ayusa’s local staff is busy looking for families for students for the 2012-2013 school year. Many families are needed and with the schools having deadlines and limits for foreign exchange students the earlier the better. It also gives the families and students time to get to know each other via skype, facebook, etc. while waiting for their year abroad to start.

“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 April. 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.

All of our rescued dachsies receive a complete health evaluation by our accredited veterinary clinics and are either spayed or neutered (if not already), given immunizations, dental care and are started on any necessary medical treatment(s).
