2014 ASSESSMENTS MAY BE PAID IN ADVANCE To avoid the “all due in January” 2014 blues, you may pay your assessments in advance to your association without any penalties. • Any advance payments will be posted to your account as a credit. • When paying online, please have your account # and your association id# (110) handy. There are several options to pay: 1. Pay online at www.pcmi-us.com. Here you will be directed to select your association (Berkshire #110) by scrolling down the page and click on the “pay here” button. You will then be re-directed (linked) to your association’s bank; New First. Here you have the option of paying by credit card. (Please note that there is a $25 convenience fee charged by the bank.)
2. You may also pay online to the association’s bank by using your check’s routing # and id # that are printed on the front of your check. (This is free.) 3. You may mail in your payment with a check to P.O. Box 219223, Houston, TX 77218 with your association’s name and the year the assessments are for in the memo. Any questions? Please contact Planned Community Management’s Customer Care line at 281-870-0585 or you may email them at CustomerCare@pcmi-us.com. If they cannot answer your questions, you will be transferred to your accounts payable person for further assistance.
SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY If you notice any suspicious activity in the community, please call the Harris County Sheriff’s Department non-emergency number at 713-221-6000 and provide as many details as possible
TRASH IN & AROUND THE COMMUNITY We have a contractor on property every Thursday who does odd jobs and picks up trash around the community. The problem with trash in and around the community is increasing. Please help us keep the community clean by not littering and taking the time to pick up any trash you notice on your street and/or around your home. We have a volunteer in the community who is interested in starting a “Clean Up Committee” to assist with this problem. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact PCMI.
PARKING ON THE STREET The Association receives numerous complaints a day regarding cars parked in the street. Parking in the street not only looks bad but also creates a safety hazard. Please refrain from parking in the street as it is against the Deed Restrictions. Vehicles should be parked in the garage or in the driveway at all times.
Happy Fall Y’all!

We love dogs - we really do. That’s why the association is committed to enforcing the county leash law on association property. According to the U.S. Humane Society, an unleashed dog has an average life span of less than four years. Allowing your dog to run free threatens your dog’s health and welfare and the happiness it brings to you.

At the same time, Halloween can be scary for parents. Costumes can be dangerous, too much candy can be sickening and walking around at night can be risky.
• Use party games and trick-or-treating as an opportunity for kids to get their daily dose of 60 minutes of physical activity. • Be sure walking areas and stairs are well-lit and free of obstacles that could cause falls. • Keep candle-lit jack-o-lanterns and other open flames away from doorsteps, walkways, landings and curtains. Place them on sturdy tables, keep them out of reach of pets and small children and never leave them unattended. • Drive safely and watch out for trick-or-treaters.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer these tips (in anagram form) to make sure your little ghouls and goblins have a safe Halloween:
YOUR HEALTH NOW! HEALTHIER HALLOWEEN CANDY!
HALLOWEEN TIPS
Halloween is a kid’s delight. It’s a blast to dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating, attend parties and most of all, eat candy.
S - Swords, knives and similar costume accessories should be short, soft and flexible. A - Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Children should walk in groups or with a trusted adult. F - Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see trick-or-treaters. E - Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before they’re eaten. H - Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help see and help others see you. A - Always test make-up in a small area first. Remove it when done to avoid skin irritation. L - Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible. L - Lower the risk for serious eye injury by avoiding decorative contact lenses. O - Only walk on sidewalks or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe. W - Wear well-fitting masks, costumes and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips and falls. E - Eat only factory-wrapped candy. Avoid eating homemade treats unless you know the cook. E - Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult. N - Never walk near lit candles or other open flames. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes. If you’re hosting a party or expecting trick-or-treaters: • Provide healthy treats, such as individual packs of raisins, trail mix or pretzels. Offer fruits, vegetables and cheeses to party guests.
4
YES - you can have your Halloween candy and eat it, too! When you’re about to gobble you’re little goblin’s treats, here is a list of some healthier, lower fat, sodium and sugar options of this Hallmark holiday goodness: • Reese’s Peanut Butter cups or Snickers? Snickers • Skittles or peanut M & M’s? peanut M & M’s • Twix or Kit Kat? KIT KAT • Tootsie Roll or Candy Corn? BOTH! Vegetarians choose Tootsie Roll, as Candy Corn has gelatin, which is an animal by product. • Butterfinger or York Peppermint Pattie? Butterfinger • Starburst or Jelly Rancher?

MOLD MANAGEMENT
It’s a problem man has battled since the dawn of time controlling mold. It lurks in the corners and can cause major damage and nasty health issues. As long as moisture and oxygen are present, mold can grow indoors or out on virtually any organic substance, including wood, paper, carpet, insulation and food. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, especially if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed. It is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. However, mold growth can be controlled by keeping moisture in check. Moisture control is key - mold cannot grow without it.
Berkshire October 2013

Left untreated, mold gradually destroys the material on which it is growing. Because molds produce allergens, irritants and toxins, they have the potential to cause a variety of health problems and can exacerbate existing conditions, such as asthma. If mold is a problem in your home, clean up the mold and get rid of the excess water or moisture. If an area becomes water damaged, it is important to dry that space and any damaged items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. Fix leaky plumbing or other sources of water to prevent recurrence. Wash mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water and dry completely. Absorbent materials (such as ceiling tiles and carpet) that become moldy may have to be replaced. For more information on how to clean up residential mold problems and how to prevent mold growth, download the Environmental Protection Agency’s free publication, A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home at www.epa.gov/ mold/pdfs/moldguide.pdf.
• October 15th is about the time for dividing and planting daylilies. • Watch out for brown patch in St. Augustine grass. These circular brown patches are caused by a fungus that is activated by moist cool weather. Control with Daconil. • If you need to do any pruning, do it early in the month. The re-growth stimulated by pruning needs to harden off before that odd-ball frost of Halloween. Prune fruit trees when leaves begin to fall. Remove all dead, weak and overcrowded growth. Tip back main branches to control size and shape. Spray w/dormant oil when temperature is between 30-60 degrees. • Cut back tops of perennials after they have bloomed. Divide roots and transplant anytime from now until March, the earlier the better. • Get the ant baits down. This will greatly reduce your spring populations. • Clover left over from last year may be growing. It’s best to hit it with the post-emerge herbicides in October and November. At least two applications are usually needed, even if done this early. • For color throughout the winter, begin planting pansies.
GARDENING TIPS FOR OCTOBER
• Dig and store caladiums before the foliage dies. Allow the bulbs to dry in the shade, shake off the dried soil and dust with sulphur to control fungus. Store by hanging in open mesh bags or old panty hose. • Flowers planted for spring can begin when the temperatures are going to stay cooler. Shrubs and trees can be planted now. Woody plants concentrate on root growth through the winter and the more headstart they can get before summer, the better.

“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 October. 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.
