COLONIES RECREATIONAL CENTER Happy summer to everyone; we are hoping it is going good for everyone so far. Did you notice all the changes in the pool area? There have been lots of things going on behind the scenes to make the pool and area as safe as possible. If you didn’t get your pool tags during pool sign up there will be a $10 charge to have one made. This is just what we are charged since we aren’t the ones making the tags. POOL HOURS Regular hours of operation will be 10 AM to 8 PM Tuesday through Saturday, 1 PM to 8 PM on Sunday after school is out.
BRADFORD COLONY 1 & 2 NEWS FROM THE BOARD We are pleased to announce that we now have a website for our subdivision. It is https://community. associawebsites.com/sites/BradfordColonyHOA. All homeowners in Bradford Colony 1 & 2 can access the site by registering with your account number (which is listed on your 2015 assessment statement from PMG). If you need assistance, please contact Roni at PMG at 713-329-7100. We will continue to improve and add information to the site and use this as an additional venue to communicate information to all homeowners.
You may have noticed changes in our neighborhood in the past few months. The flood lights are working at both entrances after some repairs, mosquito spraying have begun, etc… The Board is continuing its efforts to improve and maintain a pleasant environment in the neighborhood. This may include some homeowners starting to get deed violation citations to correct issues that have been outstanding for some time. If you have any questions on these citations, please contact PMG and discuss with our account manager Roni. These issues need to be attended to immediately, as we hope everyone will understand that the purpose of correcting these violations is to maintain a good value for all the properties in the community. We continue to encourage homeowners to come to our monthly meeting held on 2nd Tuesday at 7 PM at upstairs meeting room at the Kroger’s on Hwy 6 and West Little York.

In an effort to improve communications during the year within our small neighborhood, the Board is continuing its efforts to update its email distribution list to include as many of the residents as possible. Email is the fastest and most 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 or 832-4183409) and give him your contact information.

Residents received their 2015 assessment statements prior to the end of the year. The $300 homeowner assessments were due by January 31, 2015. Late fees have been applied to outstanding homeowner dues and unpaid balances. Currently 87% of residents are compliant with the dues payments. If you have not paid your homeowners fees for 2015, please either pay the amount you owe immediately or contact PMG (Principal Management Group) to see if you are eligible for a payment plan. Those who have fees that are delinquent, face legal action and even possible foreclosure. Homeowner assessments are mandatory. Our property management has recently forwarded seriously delinquent accounts to the attorney who represents Charlestown Colony for further legal action. Charlestown Colony’s representative at PMG is Erica Morgan. Her contact information is listed in the Important Colonies Numbers on the last page of this publication, emorgan@pmghouston.com or 713-329-7100 to reach PMG.

“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 July. 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.

CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH and WELLNESS CENTER (CHC) PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Thank you to our residents for your continued patience as we completed improvements in the park area. We have added new sprinklers so that we will be able to maintain a nice grassy/ shaded park area for families to frequent as well as lighting along the park area on Charlestown Blvd., which provides street appeal and safety in the area. Our project was delayed several times due to inclement weather and there are a few final touches to come, but with our weather improving, they should be completed in the very near future. We hope your family will enjoy the park area and new features that have been added.
(CHC) DEED RESTRICTIONS
Did you know Charlestown Colony is made up of two sections? Section One is the townhome area. These homes were the first to be built in the subdivision. The original Declaration of Covenants for Section One dates back to 1984. These were replaced in the mid-1990’s to be more in line with the Declaration of Covenants for Section Two, the traditional family homes. The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the two sections are very similar but do have one major difference. The Colonies
The streets in Section One are private streets. This means the maintenance of these streets is the responsibility of Charlestown Colony. There are a total of 20 Use Restrictions Section (URS) listed in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Charlestown Colony. Some of these cover fairly basic and non-controversial restrictions. For example, URS three sets the minimum square footage for the living area of the main residential structure. Section One’s minimum is set at 800 sq. ft., while Section Two’s minimum square footage is 1,400. URS 19 actually covers the requirement of sidewalks in Section Two; Section One doesn’t have URS19 as Section One does not have sidewalks. Easements are covered in URS6. Easements are tor the maintenance of utilities. The electricity and cable lines all run through easements. The gas lines also run through easements. You may have heard the phrase, “call before you dig.” You need to know what is below the ground before you did and possibly have an emergency. You must call 811 at least 48-hours (Saturday, Sunday and holiday’s don’t count in the 48-hour time period) before you dig. The call is free and easy to make. Calling before you dig is also the law. July 2015
Once contacted, Texas 811 will notify member facility operators. These operators will come and mark the location of their lines with colored flags and possibly spray paint on the ground. Red flags are electric power lines, cables, conduit and lighting cables. Do you know what orange flags represent? Check out the website www.texas811.org/propertyowner to find out! What if you have landscaping or a playground built in an easement that must be accessed by a utility company? Well, you are out of luck. No structure of any kind can be built in an easement. Should a utility company require access to an easement, they are not liable for any damage done to landscaping or improvements located on land in an easement. The easement is recorded in the plat for the neighborhood, which should be on file with the County. Another interesting Use Restrictions Section (URS) is #14: Lot maintenance. Basically, lots need to be kept free of weeds and the grass needs to be cut “in a sanitary, healthful and attractive manner…” No lot can be used for storage of material or equipment other than what is required for maintenance. If a homeowner fails to keep up their prop-

erty, the Association can consider this Owner/occupant to be in default. The Association will send a written notice of default, via the post office, to the Owner/ occupant. If the condition is not corrected within ten (10) days, the Association or someone designated by the Association, can enter the lot for the purpose of performing the necessary tasks to bring the lot back into compliance. The Association can enter the lot “without being under any duty to do so and having no liability in trespass or otherwise…” The Association can weed, cut grass, remove trash or anything else required to bring the lot into compliance. The Owner/ occupant will be sent bill. The Owner/ occupant agreed to this remedy as part of the purchase of the lot. The Owner/ occupant also agree to pay the bill for services immediately upon receipt. Have additional deed restriction questions? Contact PMG.

(CHC) TO FLUSH OR NOT TO FLUSH
Did you know that what gets flushed down a toilet can be costing you money? A recent trend in cleaning products is the catchword “flushable.” But not everything is flushable. Every year municipal districts across the US (and our own) spend thousands of dollars in repairs and lost run time to damage caused by “flushable” wipes. While some wipes are truly flushable, many are not. Toilet paper was designed to disintegrate when flushed; personal wipes and those wipes used for cleaning are designed to hold together. These don’t disintegrate when flushed. Be sure to read the label and only flush wipes that state they are flushable AND can easily tear apart. Wipes that are designed to be strong and hold together well don’t break down in the sewer systems. These get stuck in the pumps and on filtering screens leading to damaged pumps and expensive repairs for the Municipal Utility Districts. Additional cost by the MUD are passed onto the customers through higher costs. Even some wipes labeled as flushable, really are not flushable. So, if in doubt, throw it out. Check out www.PattyPotty.com.

(CHC) YARD OF THE MONTH
Our June winner is your neighbor at 5630 E. Towerglen Loop. These are longtime residents who take pride in the appearance of their home. One can often see them working in their yard. When you walk by you can’t help but notice the vibrant bed of red Salvia around the young Magnolia tree. The Vinca’s and Pinks in the flowerbed around the Pine tree bring more colors to the yard. And there is a lovely bright coral Hibiscus as well. To these neighbors, thank you so much for your time and dedication. Congratulations! Yard of the Month is sponsored by Cornelius Nursery. Winners receive a gift certificate to the nursery.
(CHC) TIMELY TIPS FOR JULY GARDENERS
Gardening activities usually slowdown in the summertime as the temperature continues to climb into the 90’s and beyond. July is often a very dry month and can be very hot. New garden projects are not usually started but there are always maintenance chores to do. The best time to do any kind of gardening or maintenance is in the early morning or late in the day after supper. The Colonies
Proper watering is essential to keep plants healthy in the heat of summer. It is best to water as deeply and infrequently as possible, as opposed to frequent light sprinklings. This will encourage a deeper root system that can take advantage of water stored in the soil. One of the best strategies for getting shrubs and young trees through summertime dry spells is to apply a thick layer of mulch over the root systems of plants. Mulches break down over time, so if it has been awhile since you’ve mulched, check all the plants in your yard. A three to four inch layer will prevent most evaporation from the soil and lower the soil temperature in the root zone, reducing stress on the root system. Drip irrigation combined with mulch is an excellent way to maintain high quality of plant materials. Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation or micro irrigation, is an irrigation method that saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either into the soil surface or directly into the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing and emitters. It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water directly to the base of the plant. This allows for fertilizer and nutrient loss to be minimized due to localized application and reduced leaching. Soil erosion and weed growth is lessened with this type of irrigation along with the foliage remains dry, reducing the risk of disease. If drip irrigation is not an option at this time, consider using soaker hoses to provide a good source of water to your garden or bedding plants. Water plants in containers and hanging baskets more frequently in the summer to keep them from drying out. This can leach out plant nutrients from the soil, so use a water-soluble fertilizer regularly to keep your plants growing and healthy.
(CHC) HOME IMPROVEMENTS
Remember that changes to the exterior of the home require approval from the Board to be sure the changes are in keeping with the deed restrictions. You need an architectural improvement form to get your home improvement project approved. Use the PMG website (www.associaonline.com/ sites/principal-management-group-of-houston/homeowners/Pages/default.aspx) and “Contact Us/ Service Request” drop-down menu. Architectural modification is the first form listed. This starts the process. While the Board has up to 30 days to reply, a reply typically comes much sooner (often a week or two). If you are in a rush, just let them know.

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.

We didn’t get enough proxies and warm bodies to show up at the annual meeting in May to enable us to close out the year’s business. We had some great discussions and got to meet a few neighbors we’ve never met before, but (sadly) the meeting will have to be rescheduled for later this month to finalize the HOA’s business. If you didn’t yet send in your proxy, please do it now. You can mail or fax it in or take a good clear picture of the signed form & email it to Erica at PMG (emorgan@ pmghouston.com) or call Director Bryant at 832-633-1030 to come by your house & pick it up… no fuss, no muss.
If you’re about to make repairs or additions to your home, remember that, in many cases, you need to complete an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) request. But when do you have to complete an ACC form & when are you okay to just get on with your repairs? Here’s a very rough guideline:

• You can replace boards in your fence without completing an ACC as long as you replace the boards with the same material, but if you plan to replace an entire section or the entire fence or gates, you will need to complete an ACC request. • An ACC is always needed for paint jobs and for all proposed repairs (or additions) that can be seen from the street (that includes new benches in front yards or for any structural repairs or changes). Remember that the only colors approved will be earth tones. A palette of approved colors is available for view at the Sherwin Williams paint store at 5814 Highway 6 N (SE corner of Hwy. 6 and Timber Creek Place). And, honestly, it’s not a big deal - most ACCs are approved as a matter of course. We’re not ogres; we’re your neighbors and friends. Contact PMG to get a copy of the latest ACC form (eventually it will be available on the website, when we get it up and running). You must include a $10 check with each ACC submittal.

Americans throw away 25 BILLION (that’s 25 plus 9 zeros - 25,000,000,000) styrofoam cups a year. And those same cups will still be sitting in the landfill 400 years from now, since styrofoam degrades very slowly. In addition, styrofoam is made up of polystyrene, which has been shown to migrate into human tissue (google it) and is very bad for your health. So start using travel cups and mugs and take them wherever you go so you don’t need to use the disposable ones (keep go-cups in a bag in your car). If you go out to eat, bring your own take-home boxes.
Your homeowner assessment accrues late fees and penalties after January 31st. Our PMG Representative is Erica Morgan, 713-329-7186 or emorgan@pmghouston.com.

(JC) DO WE HAVE YOUR EMAIL & PHONE NUMBER?
If we can email, phone or text you, we can save the HOA some money for notifications. In the event of emergencies, we need a reliable way to contact residents. Email schpinna@ yahoo.com and put “JHOA ADD” in the subject line. Include your name, street address, home phone, cell phone and preferred email address(es) in the body of the email, if possible. We don’t send out a lot of emails, so don’t worry about receiving excessive emails.
(JC) GREEN TIPS
Reasons to lose your styrofoam habit - Many of us use styrofoam cups at work or when we get fast food: they’re just so convenient. But if you use one styrofoam cup a day, you’re adding 23 pounds of waste to the landfill every year (and that’s not counting all of those restaurant to-go boxes).
The Colonies
Re-using bread bags - Bread bags are quite handy and can take the place of other products that you might buy, so, even though we probably can’t keep them out of the waste stream forever, they can be used for other purposes that may prevent the use/purchase of another product. Here are some ideas:
• • • • • • •
For packing sandwiches As packing material when shipping goods General storage for small items A replacement for freezer bags Plastic bag crafts (you can use strips to weave rugs or placemats or make “rope”) A cake icing piping bag For picking up dog poop (other small bags can be re-used for this purpose too, like snack/chip bags) Makeshift gloves for touching unpleasant or corrosive things (snack/chip bags good for this, too) Seed starters - put soil in the bottom & use them for seedling starters (also snack/chip bags) Car travel sick bag (also snack/chip bags) Trash bags for small trashcans or for the car (also snack/chip bags) Seasoning bag; add seasoning and meat and shake.
Be sure to shake the crumbs out of the bag before storing for reuse!

Happy summer vacation, hope everyone is having a good time so far with school being out. Please stay safe and as cool as you can.
(YTC) DEED RESTRICTIONS
We have had lots of rain this spring, which has helped the grass look healthier, but has also helped the weeds to grow as well. It is very important to keep up with mowing and weeding our lawns to help them stay beautiful. Remember, also if you are planning on any painting, landscaping or any other changes to the exterior of your home/lawn, to fill out an ACC form and get approval before starting any project. This can save you time and money. Trashcans are to be put away on trash day. If you are a repeat offender leaving your trashcan out, you might be receiving a fine of $25.
(YTC) SECURITY
Be sure to secure your vehicles, do not leave valuables inside. There have been reports of boys shooting birds in the back yard of some residents. If you see anything suspicious call the Sheriff’s Department 713-221-6000.

CY-FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
CYPRESS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR NEWS
What a fantastic year we have had. The Women’s Choir was invited to perform at the Texas Music Educators Association gathering in San Antonio, we are so proud of their accomplishments. We have had students participate at every level of choirs including state!!!
Thanks to Tonya McLaughlin and Julie Mayer for their flawless choir banquet endeavor in making the trip “All Around the World” a reality for our students. Thanks go out too to their tireless minions!
Many students proudly wore their letter jacket before school’s end and underclassmen will continue to sport them next school year.
We say farewell to our seniors as they sang their final notes as students on the auditorium stage. Tears flowed and hugs all around as memories of high school are cemented. As part of the end of the school year performance, two students, voted on, are awarded scholarships from the Choir Board based on merit. The Music scholarship was awarded to Diana Luu and the Academic scholarship went to Tyler Denton. Congratulations to these exceptional students, as well as the entire class of 2015! We wish you much happiness in your life’s journey!
The successful events just kept rolling. The lock-ins are always a great time with laughter filling the air. Pop show, “One hit Wonders,” pleased and delighted the audience of all ages. The costumes, choreography and talent shined throughout the acts from beginning to end. Fundraising helped support efforts and taught the students that if you work hard, you can play hard and they did play!

It takes a strong engine to drive this choir’s adventures. That engine, the executive board, bids a warm and sincere adieu to our President, Hillary Bracher and her ever supportive husband Jimmy. Through the years they have attended banquets, danced/ laughed alongside the students, scooped countless bowls of ice cream, carried power washers to car washes, sold chocolate, served spaghetti and barbecue, ideas... the list of tireless participation goes on. After two students raised through the choir, they have become a standard presence that will be greatly missed. Your volunteer hours have been many and appreciated. Our students are better people due to your leadership. Thank you. Deidre Douglas and Matt Perez - fearless leaders of the mighty Cy-Falls choir, have instilled honor, honesty, responsibility and the importance of music in these children. Their investment in our future can never be encompassed with a thank you. You are loved and appreciated. We wish you all a happy, fun filled summer with your loved ones abundant with blessings. And as always, keep a song in your heart!

HOUSTON FAMILY ARTS CENTER REMAINING 2015 SEASON EXPLORING LIFE, LOVE & LAUGHTER
The Houston Family Arts Center (HFAC) announces its 10th mainstage season, which explores life, love and laughter through timeless musicals, zany comedies, a classic murder mystery and a Shakespearean comedy.
2015
• Shakespeare - comes to life, June 12th - July 5th with A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The canon’s most enchanted comedy pursues love with calculated abandon! This story of mortal and immortal paramours set in a mythical forest is one that will cast a spell on lovers of all ages. • 1776 - Closing this exciting season, July 24th - August 16th, is the American musical, 1776. With revolutionary immediacy, our lofty founding fathers are found to be genuine people who debate, bargain and fray one another’s nerves as they struggle on the tortuous road to independence. This musical witness to the creation of one of the most eloquent documents in history will stir the soul of every American.
