BRADFORD COLONY SECTION 3
CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE: WWW.BCS3.ORG (BCS3) 2014 HOMEOWNERS ASSESSMENT
The Board and Management Company will be working on the budget for 2014 over the couple of months. Although it is difficult to predict the final number at this time, every effort will be made to keep the 2014 Assessment as close as possible to this past year’s $300 figure. We anticipate having the management company send out the 2014 Assessment billing in early November. Look for more information on this important HOA issue in the upcoming Newsletters.
(BCS3) BCS3 EMAIL LIST
In an effort to improve communications during the year with the BCS3 residents, the Board is trying to update its email distribution list to include as many of the residents as possible.
Email is the faster and more effective way of keeping the BCS3 residents informed of neighborhood events, criminal activity and other important issues. In an effort to maintain confidentiality of individual email addresses, the Board always sends out email notices with resident addresses handled as “blind cc’s” to avoid widespread distribution. If you want to be included on future email distributions, please contact Mark Przywara (msp0007@yahoo.com, 832418-3409) and get him your email address.
(BCS3) CONTACT THE BOARD
As is the case with everything in our small neighborhood, every resident should feel free to contact any Board member as to any issue or question that you have about BCS3. Contact information for all the Board members is located on the inside back cover of this publication.
CHARLESTOWN COLONY (CHC) ANNUAL HOMEOWNERS MEETING
The annual homeowner’s meeting was held October 2nd. Many thanks to all who attended. Because this newsletter is written roughly one month ahead, details from the meeting will be published in the November edition. Feel free to contact SCS Management for a copy of the financial report for the neighborhood and any updates.
(CHC) YARD OF THE MONTH
Our September winners are your neighbors at 5730 E. Towerglen Loop. The tall slim trees (pines maybe?) along the driveway are so pretty and they lead to a nicely tended garden area in the front of their home. A big thank you to these homeowners for making our neighborhood look so nice and inviting. Yard of the Month winners receive a gift certificate to Cornelius Nursery.
Happy Fall Y’all!

Your yard needs little attention in the fall to get it ready for winter. Rain is the best thing. You can plant seed grass to help keep weeds from taking up residence in your lawn. But, then you will have to mow. If you do plant winter grass, be sure to fertilize and water as needed. Want to know the best flowers for a fall garden? Check with the experts.

(CHC) WATER RESTRICTIONS
Yes, as of this writing, we are still under voluntary water restrictions. The best hope for easing the restrictions will be cooler weather. Rain would be great too. Please use water wisely.
(CHC) HOLIDAY VOLUNTEERS WANTED!!
The holidays will be here in the blink of an eye! We would love to have volunteers to help make sure our neighborhood entrance is decorated and looking wonderful for the holiday season. The Charlestown HOA has decorations that have been purchased, but we could use extra hands to help get them in place. The decorations usually are in placed at the front entrance around Thanksgiving week and are taken back down right after first of the year, so they can be returned to storage. If you would like to help with this project, please contact SCS Management or one of the Charlestown Colony HOA Board Members listed in the back of this publication. It’s a fun way to get to know neighbors and kick off the holiday season! We hope to hear from you soon!

Halloween falls on a school night this year, Thursday. Since it is before the end of Daylight Savings Time, there will still be some light. But often dusk is when people seem to blend in with the surroundings. Try to be extra aware while driving through the neighborhood as many children will be out Trick-or-Treating and may not look before entering the street. Trick-or-Treaters should only go to homes with a porch light on. If you do not want trick-or-treaters at your home, leave the porch light off.
(CHC) TIME CHANGE COMING SOON!
Speaking of the time change, daylight savings time ends the first Sunday in November. This year the change will take place November 3rd. Be sure to change your clocks Saturday night! Daylight Savings Time will begin again the second Sunday in March. The semi-annual change time is a good time to check the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Also check the age of your detectors. The homes in our neighborhood are mostly 20 years or older. If you have the original smoke alarm, it may not work when you need it most. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends replacing smoke alarms every 10 years and carbon monoxide detectors every 5 years.
(CHC) REMINDERS AND THANKS!

Got neighborhood questions? Often a quick call to SCS Management or one of the Board members can put your mind at ease. Their numbers or email addresses are listed in the “important numbers” section at the back of this newsletter. Keep collecting Box Tops for Horne Elementary. Every Box Top is worth 10 cents to the school. What a simple and easy way to help Horne provide more for our neighborhood children. You can drop them off in the school office. They will be happy to have them. I hear Truitt collects them also. Remember to recycle plastic numbers 1-5 & 7, but not styrofoam. See the bottom of your container and look at the number in the recycle triangle to see if it will recycle. This is greatly expanded from our previous recycle program. Don’t forget to recycle metals - steel, tin, aluminum (cans and foil) and copper. All glass now recycles as well! See www.hcmud102.com/garbage/2010/hcmud102recycingguidelines. pdf or www.wcawaste.com/Houston for more information. Report suspicious activities to the Sheriff’s Patrol at 713-221-6000.
(CHC) ARCHITECTURAL FORMS
Please make sure to complete an Architectural Form and submit it to SCS Management before making changes to your home. If you are painting, be sure to attach your color choices to the form when you submit it! The process is easy, quick and can save you money. By submitting the form and requesting approval prior to your project, you are protected. The forms are to be submitted any time you are making changes to your property (house, fence, yard). While the request says to allow 30 days for approval, turnaround time for a request is pretty quick - usually not more than a week or two. Find the form at www.scsmgmt.com/Acc-App.scs.pdf.

GEORGETOWN COLONY I (GC1) GARBAGE CANS
Many neighbors have been storing their garbage cans in view from the street. This is in violation of the deed restrictions and appropriate actions are subject to corrective action. Also, please remember to place garbage curbside after 6 PM, the night before pickup.
(GC1) GARAGE SALES
According to the State Comptroller’s office, garage sales are permitted only twice annually. If more than that, it will be assumed that a business is being operated out of home, which is in direct violation of the deed restrictions and necessary action will be taken.
(GC1) LOST AND FOUND PETS
The first thing to do if you find a lost dog that does not have a tag, is to take it to any vet’s clinic or Petsmart and have it scanned for a micro chip. This is the fastest way to get the dog back to its owner. If it does not have a micro chip, please look for signs to make sure the dog gets back to its rightful owner. A dog that is left to wander is subject to being hit by a car, abuse or starving to death. Those of you who are dog owners, please be sure to keep a collar and tag on it at all times. Even if the dog is micro chipped, it is much easier to return the dog to you if it has your contact information on a tag.
(GC1) WELCOME PACKAGES
We have welcome packages, which include a quick start guide to Georgetown Colony 1, deed restrictions, by which this subdivision abides and architectural guidelines and forms. They will be handed out to new residents, but are also available upon request by contacting SCS Management at 281-463-1777.
(GC1) HOME IMPROVEMENTS
When considering home improvements, please submit an Architectural Review Form to the Board for approval prior to beginning of any exterior work. The forms may be obtained from SCS Management at www.scsmngt.com and are approved through your local Architectural Control Board. Projects shall be completed on a timely basis.
(GC1) DEED RESTRICTION COMPLAINTS
Any resident may file a complaint either by contacting SCS management at 281-463-1777 or georgetowncolony@yahoo.com, where you may email the Board members.
GEORGETOWN COLONY II (GCII) DEED RESTRICTIONS
We want to thank all of the homeowners in GCII who take the time and expense to keep their property maintained! It shows pride in your ownership and it keeps all of our property values up! Before doing home improvements, please submit an Architectural Review Form to the Board for approval prior beginning any exterior work.

“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.

(JC) BANDIT SIGNS
Bandit signs are those unsolicited little plastic or cardboard signs that small or shady businesses seem to love to stick in our esplanades and entrances and guess what? They’re illegal. Basically, these folks are tossing trash into our neighborhood. Your HOA dollars go to clean them up (same thing for garage sale signs that aren’t picked up), so if you see nonresidents putting out their little trash bombs, politely ask them to remove them and if you see them in the esplanades and entrances, help beautify the world (and save the HOA a buck or two) by removing and recycling them yourself, instead of making the county or one of our contractors do it.

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas and New Years will soon be rushing at us. Enjoy your holidays, but go easy on yourself. The best gift any of us can enjoy is the love and companionship of our family, friends and pets. Anything else is gravy.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR GARDEN BEE-SAFE:
• Know your plants. Research which plants fare best in our soil conditions and monitor plant health so you’ll recognize any signs of infestation. • Buy organic. Begin with untreated seeds or organic plant starts and plant them in organic soil. Nurseries in our area that are organic or have organic products include Cornelius Nurseries on Voss or Buchanan’s Native Plants, buchanansplants.com, 611 E. 11th Street, in the Heights. • Know your pests. Target attention on the uninvited creepy crawlies and keep your essential predators safe (i.e., don’t kill lady bugs). • Know your natural predators. It pays to know who’s on your side. Most people know ladybugs can be counted on to take out aphids, but there are lots of other beneficial critters (for instance, spiders). Parasitic natural predators contribute a lot

(JC) GREEN TIPS
1. Do diet sodas help fight obesity? Short answer - NO. Take a look at this article when you have the time - www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_28188.cfm. 2. Bugged by aphids in your garden? Spray them with garlic oil. Overrun by slugs? Eggshells will do the trick. Most experienced gardeners know the ins and outs of pest control and avoid using conventional insecticides than can be toxic to the wildlife in their gardens. But even the environmentally aware may have been caught off guard by the recent news that supposedly bee-friendly plants purchased at big-name hardware stores can come pre-treated with chemicals believed to be fatal to bees. As more and more research linking colony collapse disorder to pesticides use comes out, it’s more important than ever to look out for the bees in our own backyards.

• Clean up any toys, trash, construction debris or animal droppings, etc. Make sure that the yard is safe to walk through. • Roll up garden hoses and be sure that your watering is completed before dusk. • Use glow sticks, LED lights and other safe lights to illuminate your yard. Turn on the porch light. This will help trick or treaters find their way. Turn off your porch light if you don’t plan to pass out candy. • Keep pets inside the house, the backyard or in a safe location away from the area. • Consider giving out treats in your driveway instead of at the door if your yard is unsafe. • Turn everything off when you call it “quits” or if you don’t want to participate. If you’re home, but don’t have candy or want visitors, turn off any outdoor lights. When going to bed or out for the night, be sure to lock and secure windows and doors, as well as turning off anything that might attract people.

to pest management and make sure your garden has enough flowers to keep your pollinators happy and healthy - you’ll have a tiny pest-control army. • Be pesticide-free. In a backyard situation, pest insect problems rarely become so overwhelming that a pesticide is required. There is usually some physical way to detach the insects from the plants - picking, dousing with a hose, etc. We have simply become too used to squirting our problems away with toxic chemicals. The internet is full of safe and chemicalfree solutions, from using organic items that naturally repel certain insects to planting trap crops to lure pests away from the threatened plant.

Remember, the HOA pays for these lights whether they’re burning or not, so you might as well have them burning.

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. • 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 over-crowded 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.

CY-FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Red: The heat and sun were just too much. So, I broke the chain and hit the road. I stopped at the office supply store and went on in, but nobody seemed very excited to see me. Thankfully, a kind lady was passing by and offered me a ride. My medical exam, shots and heartworm treatment are behind me now with no lasting damage and I am looking for my real forever family. Call me a love bug - I adore humans in all shapes and sizes. I roll over for tummy rubs and want to snuggle on the couch for movie night. Other dogs are ok, but I would rather have my people close by. Cats are very interesting and given my lineage, I do want to give chase. Things I love: long walks, rawhide chewies, and lots of hugs.

STUDENTS PROTECTING AMERICA’S ANIMALS PETS OF THE MONTH
Marshall: I was picked up as a stray in the country and ended up at a big, noisy shelter. It was scary, since I am a little guy and don’t make a fuss. The rescue group gave me a ride out and my new life is ready to begin! I weigh about 12 lbs., have all the best breeds in my genes (too many to list here) and just love people. I like other dogs, but give me a lap and some snuggle time and I will be one happy boy! I am young, about 1 - 2 years,

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. 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: 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. • Use party games and trick-or-treating as an opportunity for kids to get their daily dose of 60 minutes of physical activity. •Recommended Be sure walking by areas and stairs are well-lit and free of obstacles that could cause falls. Tynan,jack-o-lanterns and other open flames away • KeepTom candle-lit SportsRadio 610 amwalkways, landings and curtains. Place them from doorsteps, 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.
