(CPV) DEED RESTRICTIONS
PARKING & DEED RESTRICTION VIOLATIONS There have 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. Some homeowners are parking at the end of the cul-de-sac’s and not allowing people access to get their mail. These vehicles can and will be towed in an emergency at homeowners expense.
(CPV) LANDSCAPING AND YARDS
Planting of shrubs, palms, etc. on corner lots must be kept trimmed at all times. There have 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. Summer is here, please keep yards trimmed.
(CPV) 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. If you are not sure of the deed restrictions or what colors are allowable under the current deed restrictions, please contact SCS Management at 281-463-1777. Many homes are in desperate need of painting or mildew cleaning! 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 a 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.

(SD) HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
Although July 4th was a few days ago, do you know exactly why the holiday is so important to our country? Imagine how you would feel if someone kept telling you what to do all of the time and kept taking more and more of your money. That is how the colonists felt in the years leading up to 1776. Great Britain kept trying to make the colonists follow more rules and pay higher taxes. People started getting mad and began making plans to be able to make their own rules. They no longer wanted Great Britain to be able to tell them what to do, so they decided to tell Great Britain that they were becoming an independent country. The Congress met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and they appointed a committee to write a formal document that would tell Great Britain that the Americans had decided to govern themselves. The committee asked Thomas Jefferson to write a draft of the document, so he worked for days, in absolute secret, until he had written a document that he thought said everything important that the committee had discussed. On June 28, 1776, the committee met to read Jefferson’s “fair” copy. They revised the document and declared their independence on July 2, 1776. They officially adopted it on July 4, 1776. That is why we call it “Independence Day.” Congress ordered that all members must sign the Declaration of Independence and they all began signing the “official” copy on August 2, 1776. In January of the next year, Congress sent signed copies to all of the states.

July 2013
The Declaration of Independence is more than just a piece of paper. It is a symbol of our country’s independence and commitment to certain ideas. Most people can look at a certain little “swoosh” and know that it stands for “Nike.” The signers of the Declaration of Independence wanted the citizens of the United States to have a document that spelled out what was important to our leaders and citizens. They wanted us to be able to look at the Declaration of Independence and immediately think of the goals we should always be working for and about the people who have fought so hard to make these ideas possible. The people who signed the Declaration risked being hanged for treason by the leaders in Great Britain. They had to be very brave to sign something that would be considered a crime! So every time we look at the Declaration of Independence, we should think about all of the effort and ideas that went into the document and about the courage it took for these people to stand up for what they knew was right - independence!
(SD) RECYCLING
The recycling day in Southdown Village has changed to Tuesday. Trash and recycling bins must be stored out of view until the evening before trash day. Failure to do so may result in a violation of deed restrictions.
(SD) YARD OF MONTH
Congratulations to the Kluttz and the Vering/Miller families, last month’s Southdown Yard of the Month winners. The Kluttz family lives at 15719 Sweetwater Creek and the Vering/Miller family are at 7447 River Garden. Each family was awarded a $25 gift card to an area home improvement store. Please let Graham Management know if you see a yard that deserves consideration for Yard of the Month.

The key to an effective crime watch program is to communicate - simply knowing your neighbors and talking. Always let a trusted neighbor know when you are on vacation or out of town for a long period. When you are away from home, these simple, preventative measures from Consumer Reports help prevent home burglaries: 1) always set your burglar alarm; 2) install keyed dead locks and don’t leave the key in the deadbolt lock; 3) install motion-sensor lights; 4) don’t hide a spare key anywhere that can be easily discovered; 5) stop the mail or ask a friend to get it; 6) to provide less hiding spaces for burglars follow the 3/6 rule where shrubs are trimmed in front of the house no higher than 3 feet from the ground and trim trees so that the lowest branches are at least 6 feet up; 7) lock up ladders and tools that could be used to break in; 8) leave a radio on turned to a talk show station; 9) put lamps on a timer; 10) turn down the phone’s ringer; 11) bolt down safes so they can’t be picked up and carried out; 12) hide valuables well in a hollowed out book or a fake wall outlet and 13) consider placing safety film over windows near door handles to make glass hard to smash.

Parents: Do you realize it’s a Class C Misdemeanor for minors 18 and below, to linger in any public arena from midnight to 6 AM. Penalties for violators can range anywhere from being released to their parents to awaiting judgement in front of a justice court. Underage children don’t need to be out at night unless they are with their parents, because only bad things can happen. They get bored and do things they are not supposed to do. Plus, everyone needs their sleep.

(WC) JULY GARDENING TIPS
DROUGHT AGAIN? Please be advised that rainfall has proven again to be slightly below normal, which means we could experience another difficult and dry summer like we did last July (remember no fireworks last year?). We did get rains late-spring, but not enough to keep our levels where they need to be and what we are accustomed to seeing as our days are now quite hot. Please take measures to ensure your watering schedules and attention to historically dry areas are seen to. LAWN CARE July is one of the most important months for lawn care. Heat, lack of rain, weed control, insect infestation (visible and not visible) and fungus issues can really take hold and begin doing more damage this month than any other month. A few basic steps can really make a difference in maintaining a vibrant and healthy lawn now, as well as preparing your lawn for the cooler months: Mow tall - taller grass allows shade to the root system that prevents drying out as we march through these hot, dry days. If you are cutting your lawn short you are likely fighting a losing battle to retain moisture and achieve a green, lush lawn. Water regularly - irrigate your lawn 2 or 3 times each week adequately, but not to the point of over-watering. Developing a healthy lawn can be achieved by adequate scheduled watering, which promotes a positive growth cycle and prevents a lawn that is perpetually “recovering” from the lack of moisture experienced between watering sessions.

Choosing hot weather varieties such as Dandelions, Verbena and Hairwill • Color Yarrow do well •inNails July, but be careful to not keep the soil too moist as these flowers like drier conditions. Other great choices for the heat are Turk’s cap and for heavily shaded areas, Impatiens. Of course, Hibiscus do quite well in the heat, as well as Bougainvilleas, but remember that Bougainvillea flower better when they are stressed due to a lack of water, so do not over-water!

Fighting thinner grass in shady areas? Fine bladed fescue varieties may perform better in areas of your yard that are sunlight challenged. Remember most lawns are a variety of more than one grass already - your lawn is most likely not 100% St. Augustine. Introducing a fescue variety in shaded areas will not result in a “patchwork quilt” appearance if proper feeding and irrigation occurs and your bare areas will begin to blend with current growth. Just take care to utilize fertilizers that are compatible with the finer varieties, as not all are!

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 July.

CraddockRoofing.com Reroofing Copperfield Since 1984 MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDANT
The House and Senate successfully negotiated a two-year budget that will restore approximately $4 billion of the $5.4 billion in cuts to public education that were made by the 82nd Legislature in 2011. While the budget still needs to be approved by the full House and Senate and signed by the governor, this key negotiation between five members from each side is expected to be the basis for the new funding system through 2015. This is a huge step in the right direction for Texas public schools and Cypress-Fairbanks ISD and I commend the members of the 83rd Legislature - specifically those within the CFISD delegation - who worked diligently to make this education budget replenishment happen. I would especially like to thank Sens. Dan Patrick, John Whitmire, Joan Huffman and Glenn Hegar and Reps. Patricia Harless, Allen Fletcher, Bill Callegari, Gary Elkins, Dwayne Bohac, Sylvester Turner and Jessica Farrar for using the power of their votes to keep our students’ best interests in mind. We have been fortunate in CFISD to maintain academic excellence amid financial constraints, but the additional infusion of money will be paramount as we seek to provide students with the best possible educational experience. Thank you for any feedback you gave to our local legislators that stressed the need for a properly funded education system in Texas. Although we didn’t recoup all of the money cut during the last biennium, we will be in much better shape moving forward. Sincerely, Mark Henry, Ed.D
CFISD HONORS OUTSTANDING EMPLOYEES

BUS BUDDIES, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 2013 - 2014 SCHOOL YEAR
Come be a part of the “Bus Buddies Volunteer Program” in our CypressFairbanks ISD schools. What is Bus Buddies? Bus Buddies is a partnership between the Cy-Fair community and CypressFairbanks Independent School District to provide assistance to elementary students helping them get off the bus at the correct location. The program requires one “Bus Buddy” per elementary bus the first three days of school. The approximate time commitment is from 2:45 PM - 4:45 PM on August 26th, 27th and 28th. You may choose to volunteer one, two or all three days. Your job is to simply assist the bus driver with making sure the children get off the bus at their correct stops. What is Required? (1) Attend one of the training sessions, if not previously trained. (2) Arrive and sign in at your assigned school where campus staff will assist you. (3) Enjoy helping the kids and driver! When and Where is the 1 Hour Training? Training is held at our Berry Center located at 8877 Barker Cypress Rd., Cypress, TX. August 19th - 9:30 AM -10:30 AM August 20th - 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM (evening session) August 21st - 7:30 AM - 8:30 AM
Fair community to ride buses to assist the nearly 9,000 elementary riders and their drivers.

“I’m very impressed with these students at Copeland. I don’t think they even understand the huge impact they’ve already made for children in Haiti,” Hayes said. “These 180-odd pairs of shoes can go so far down there; they’re a ticket for the children to be allowed to attend school. I can’t wait to go back and see the impact that this shoe drive has made for them.”
Aragon Middle School
“When we first made our goal, we thought we might be overshooting it,” said Langham Creek sophomore Marin Anderson, who helped round up sneakers along with Langham Creek sophomore Andrew Hadad and CyFair junior Blake Hayes. “I think the students here are very excited because they haven’t had a lot of opportunities like this yet. Their response has been phenomenal.” Copeland principal Michelle Rice, who coincided the shoe drive as part of the school’s monthly community outreach program, Copeland Cares, said she was not surprised by the outpouring of support. “The Copeland community is a very giving and generous community,” Rice said. “I am impressed with all the leadership we are developing within our students in Cy-Fair. We’re helping them look to the outside and this is a generation of children who want to be counted on by others.” Hayes helped launch the shoe drive last month with the support of his mother, Langham Creek director of instruction Rebecca Hayes. The Hayes family had visited Haiti over spring break and seen firsthand the impact that quality footwear can have on the academic success of children in the impoverished country.

READING CELEBRATION GIVES STUDENTS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE WITH SUPERINTENDENT
Students in Andrea Barnes’ READ 180 class at Aragon Middle School had a special surprise as part of their READ 180 Celebration. Following an awards ceremony, in which they earned honors both from their peers and the nextgeneration software from Scholastic, students had the opportunity to play in a pick-up basketball game with Dr. Mark Henry, superintendent of schools. Dr. Henry and several of the students in Barnes’ class discovered a mutual interest in basketball when he visited the school’s READ 180 open house earlier in the school year. As part of their reward for their achievements in the accelerated reading comprehension program, he spent about 30 minutes with them on the court in the school gymnasium.

“I enjoyed playing with them. They’re a bunch of great kids and Ms. Barnes does such a super job with the program here,” he said. “I hope the message they get is that academics is number one and then athletics is something they can add to it that makes life even more enjoyable while they learn teamwork, cooperation and good sportsmanship. Plus, I don’t have to go jogging tonight to get my exercise.” During the READ 180 Celebration, students won a number of awards that were calculated from Scholastic’s software program, including Largest Lexile Gain, Highest Lexile, Over 1 Million Words Read by May 23rd and Most Books Read. Several students also read poetry out loud to the visiting guests, which included Dr. Henry and CFISD Board of Trustees members, Bob Covey and Tom Jackson. Jackson donned a uniform from the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution to commemorate a series of history books he donated to Barnes’ class.

Hello everyone! Teresa Dang, a former senior officer here! I would like to stress that this year, Cypress Falls High School’s Students Protecting America’s Animals Houston (SPAA Houston) has done a wonderful job of helping out at local animal-helping organizations, spreading the word about animal cruelty and fundraising money for the animal causes! For Fundraisers this year, we decided to do two. Bali Fundraiser: Raised $120 dollars to have the dogs in Bali to be vaccinated for rabies. Pier Fundraiser: Raised $1,108 dollars to help fund for a dog named Pier to have surgery for his burns and other local causes! I’m really proud of SPAA Houston members and all of what they did this year!! Keep up the good work and see you guys next year!

Cypress Falls also earned three additional patches to add to their distinguished Key Club banner. The club won patches for participating in the Eliminate Project, an organization designed to eliminate maternal/neonatal tetanus, as well as the Governor’s B.R.O. Project, which concentrated on working with the Children’s Miracle Network. Moreover, Louis Kirkley won a patch for his Distinguished website (http://www.cyfallskey.me). “I am so proud to work with such an amazing group,” club sponsor Kathie Kiklas said, “They always go beyond what is asked of them. DCON is wonderful training to enhance leadership skills.” Several Cypress Falls students were elected to divisional and district-level leadership positions for the upcoming school year. Bradshaw was elected as the Division 3N Lieutenant governor and she will serve as the head of Key Clubs throughout Cy-Fair and Katy. Roshni Chandwani not only coordinated the four-day weekend as the immediate past Convention Liaison, but she was also endorsed to run for International Trustee during the summer International Convention at Washington D.C. Hossain was elected as the District Editor and she will serve the District by creating bimonthly magazines and overseeing clubs’ publications during the 2013 - 2014 year. “District Convention was exquisite,” current president Amy Jiang said, “Perhaps ecstatic would be the word to show the feelings of our Key Club as

Brownie troop 16451 finished up the year with a pool party and a special “Brownie Vest “cake. Daisy troop 16109 had a great time at Build a Bear. Some of the bears they brought back wore what looked like Daisy Girl Scout uniforms. Junior troop 16257 delivered their cookie share to Ronald McDonald house, where they made friends with a young resident who is waiting for a double lung transplant. This troop also wound up their Scouting year with a trip to a dude ranch in Bandera, TX. “Carousel” events at Council camps during the year are an opportunity to experience a variety of activities on a “themed” day or weekend. Troop 16149 attended the Princess Academy carousel event at Camp Robin wood and went canoeing. Brownie troop 16398 bridged and “flew up” to Junior Girl Scouts. They made commemorative plates at Color Me Mine and used their painted finger prints to make different animals. Troop 16164 attended the Skeeters Girl Scout Sleepover baseball game at Constellation Field. The girls participated in special activates before the game. After the game they pitched their tents on the field for a movie and a sleepover. It was quite a night out! As you can see, Girl Scouts are active and they have fun!

MILDRED’S UMBRELLA THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES ITS 2013-2014 SEASON!
FOXFINDER by Dawn King. US Amateur Premier - August 15-31, 2013. Finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn award. William Bloor, a “foxfinder,â€? arrives at Sam and Judith Covey’s farm to investigate a suspected contamination. He is driven by his education and beliefs to unearth and destroy an animal that threatens man’s civilization and to remain free from its influence himself. As his investigations proceed, the events that follow change the course of all their lives - forever. Dawn King’s play won the 2011 Papatango New Writing Competition (in partnership with London’s Finborough Theatre). A darkly comic exploration of belief, desire and responsibility, set in a world both strange and familiar, from a striking new voice in British theatre.  CARNIVAL ROUND THE CENTRAL FIGURE by Diana Amsterdam. Regional Premier - November 7-23, 2013. A wild ride through theatrical terrain that sears the senses and impacts the audience at a visceral place, which also manages to be hilariously funny and heartbreakingly real in the five core scenes of a young woman’s visit to the death bed of her friend. Her moment of acknowledgment and comfort comes hard in the face of denial, moralizing, insane positive thinking, desperate chit chat and the existential fears we all harbor about the end moments of life - the great mystery.  MUSEUM OF DYSFUNCTION IV - December 6-14, 2013. Short plays from 200 writers who submitted from all over the US and were chosen by a panel. Co-produced by Wordsmyth Theatre. ROME by John Harvey - World Premier - March 6-22, 2014. This original script is being written by local playwright, John Harvey, workshopped by designers, musicians and actors, video documented over a year and presented as a collaborative effort as our final play in the season. Located at Studio 101 at Spring Street Studios, 1824 Spring Street, Houston, TX 77007. All performances begin at 8 PM. Price - $18 regular/ $10 students and seniors. Pay as you can on Mondays and $25 for opening night with a party immediately after the show. More info/reservations: www. mildredsumbrella.com - info@mildredsumbrella.com or 832-463-0409. Â

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.
HOSTING A FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT IS EASIER THAN YOU MAY THINK
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.
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.
With the current school year quickly coming to an end Ayusa’s local staff is busy looking for families for students for the 2013-2014 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. Please contact Heather Wells by email ayusakaty@gmail.com or by phone 281-770-3414.
During the 2013-2014 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.

LOCAL MENTORS NEEDED TO MENTOR ONE CHILD & CHANGE TWO LIVES!
7:30am-5:30pm 7:30am-5:00pm
CROSSROADS is a nonprofit United Way agency that provides mentors for at risk youth between the ages of 10 and 17. Visit our website at www. crossroads-volunteers.org and consider running an ad like the one below in your Copperfield subdivision newsletter.
July 2013
Copperfield
Many young people don’t have strong positive adult influences in their lives to help guide them through these crucial years. Mentoring makes a difference in both the life of the youth and our community. A commitment of 1 hour weekly is all we ask. Help us shape the leaders of tomorrow by contacting Jan, CROSSROADS Volunteer Recruiter at Jan.gibbs@hcjpd.hctx.net or 713-295-2779. Mentor one child… change two lives.
MISSION CY-FAIR
The Cy-Fair community has a new non-profit organization named Mission Cy-Fair. You can learn more about us at www.missioncyfair.org. We are currently needing volunteers to work with our after school apartment ministry serving the children of The Lake and Timberwalk apartments located at 5650 Timbercreek Place Drive. If you are interested, we’d love to talk with you more. Please contact carmen.donaldson@missioncyfair.org.
SPECIAL CHEERS NEEDS VOLUNTEERS
Special CHEERS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing Occupational Therapy to children with special needs of all ages living in and around the greater Houston area. Our facility is unique in that we utilize animals, including horses, dogs, goats, pigs, lambs and rabbits as an integral part of each child’s therapy treatment plan. Being a non-profit organization, we are constantly looking for extra help around the farm. Therefore, Special CHEERS would like to welcome all high school and college-aged students interested in working with both children and animals to volunteer after school, on the weekends or seasonally (i.e., summer camp). Please call our administrative assistant, Ms. Denise Pace, at 713-983-0075, for more information. A background check will be required of all individuals applying for a volunteer position at our facility.

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.

Special Pals Shelter wants to remind you to keep your animals hydrated and cool this summer. Leave your pets indoors as much as possible, since there’s no guarantee on how much shade they’ll get being left in the yard. Never leave your pet in the car; it only takes a few minutes for your animal to be exposed to deadly heat stroke, even if the windows are cracked! If you take your dog out for walks or runs, be sure to bring a bowl and a container of water and only exert them in the hours when the temps are lowest. Checks may also be sent to: Special Pals 3830 Greenhouse Road Houston, TX 77084 Houston area for over 30 years. For more information, contact us by email (clinic@specialpalsshelter.org), phone (281-579-7387) or stop by our facility at 3830 Greenhouse Road (Houston, TX 77084).

Become a Foster Parent DREAM does not operate a shelter facility. Upon rescue, all DREAM dachsies receive complete vetting care and are spayed or neutered (if not already). They are then transported to a loving foster home to live in a safe and secure environment, as part of the family, where they can 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.

THE LIBERTY BELL, THE BELL’S MESSAGE
Classified Ads
When William Penn created Pennsylvania’s government he allowed citizens to take part in making laws and gave them the right to choose the religion they wanted. The colonists were proud of the freedom that Penn gave them. In 1751, the Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly ordered a new bell for the State House. He asked that a Bible verse to be placed on the bell “Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof” (Leviticus 25:10). As the official bell of the Pennsylvania State House (today called Independence Hall) it rang many times for public announcements, but we remember times like July 8, 1776 when it rang to announce the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.
Solid wood 6-piece bedroom set with brushed nickel knobs for sale. Queen bed frame with head/footboard, two nightstands, 9-drawer dresser with separate mirror and armoire. $1,800 OBO. Email tx_mom2boys@yahoo. com for pictures.
The old State House bell was first called the “Liberty Bell” by a group trying to outlaw slavery. These abolitionists remembered the words on the bell and, in the 1830’s, adopted it as a symbol of their cause.
Granite-top kitchen table, plus 6 chairs, $300; bedroom suite, king size with lighted, mirrored headboard, mattress, box-spring, frame, $400; formal dining table & 8 chairs, plus matching buffet, $400; living room sectional with 2 matching recliners, $500. All good condition, call 832-215-4747.
The Liberty Bell’s inscription conveys a message of liberty, which goes beyond the words themselves. Since the bell was made, the words of the inscription have meant different things to different people.
Beginning in the late 1800’s, the Liberty Bell traveled around the country to expositions and fairs to help heal the divisions of the Civil War. It reminded Americans of their earlier days when they fought and worked together for independence. In 1915, the bell made its last trip and came home to Philadelphia, where it now silently reminds us of the power of liberty. For more than 200 years people from around the world have felt the bell’s message. No one can see liberty, but people have used the Liberty Bell to represent this important idea.
