BRADFORD COLONY 1 & 2 When we were looking for a new home, we were looking for a quiet and safe place to live, so we chose Bradford Colony. We all want to live in a safe environment, so all board members encourage everybody to report any suspicious activity. There have been some illegal activities in the last couple weeks. We want to incite everyone to be friendly and keep our neighborhood clean. Together we can make this a safe and pleasant neighborhood to live in.
(BC 1&2) Yard of the Month Our Yard of the Month goes to the homeowner at 6407 Harcourt Bridge. The board would like to thank all homeowners who put in great efforts to keep good looking yards which enhances the appearance of the entire neighborhood.
(BC 1&2) ARCHITECTURAL REQUESTS Remember to submit your architectural requests to have them approved prior to beginning the work. Forms can be obtained form Esquire Community Management (phone number is listed at the back of the newsletter). You may contact any board members to submit the completed form for approval. These include any work done to the outside appearance of your home, paint, fence, sidings, new roof, major landscaping work, etc. The HOA board are all volunteers and our goals and efforts are to keep the entire neighborhood looking pleasant and not run down or chaotic, which in turn has an impact on all our property value of the subdivision. We would like to thank all homeowners who spend time and efforts to take care of the homes and yards.

(BCS3) YARD OF THE MONTH The last Yard of the Month winner for 2012 is the Tavawalla Family at 6514 Horsepen Bayou Drive. Judy and Ebrahim have consistently done an excellent job in keeping their yard looking great. Their hard work is doubly impressive when you consider the extreme drought conditions that we have experienced over the past two summers. The Board would like to sincerely thank all of our neighbors for their consistent efforts in keeping their properties looking as good as possible. All this work helps keep our neighborhood looking great and subsequently keeping our property values as high as possible. Congratulations for all the good work!
(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.

Call 1-855-351-GOLD
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 832-418-3409) and get him your email address.
(BCS3) WEBSITE REMINDER If you have time, please remember to get online and check out the neighborhood website at www.bcs3.org. The Board has been trying to keep this site as up to date as possible under the direction of Andy Nguyen. Please take the time to check into updated website - and feel free to contact any Board member with suggestions and comments pertaining to this site.
(BCS3) 2013 HOMEOWNERS ASSESSMENT The Board and Management Company will be working on the budget for next year over the next month. Although it is difficult predict the final number at this time, every effort will be made to keep the 2013 Assessment as close as possible to this past year’s $300 figure. We anticipate having the management company send out the 2013 Assessment billing in early November. Look for more information on this important HOA issue in the upcoming Newsletters.
(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 HomeOwner’s Meeting The annual homeowner’s meeting was held October 3rd. 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) Annual Dues
Sunday Worship Experience 10:30 am
In the next few weeks, you will receive a statement / billing from SCS Management for your 2013 homeowner dues. It is important that you do not disregard this statement. The billing is sent in advance so that homeowner’s may plan ahead before the due date in January. As of this date, there are approximately ten (10) homes in our neighborhood that have not yet paid 2012 dues and have not attempted to set up a payment plan for the assessments. Not only does this limit the funds necessary to keep our common areas safe and presentable, lighting along our streets and a park area for our children to play, but it also means that we have to delay much needed repairs such as tree trimming in common areas and repairs to the west entrance brick wall. The assessments are mandatory each year and are part of living in a developed community. As SCS Management is forced to send reminder letters and our neighborhood must seek attorney assistance in collecting the dues, fees are added to the original amount that has been left unpaid by the resident. The Homeowners Association Board members are residents who work to keep our neighborhood values up while being conscientious about money that is spent on neighborhood upkeep. We appreciate each of you who do your part in keeping our neighborhood looking great by putting away trash cans, storing debris out of sight, making approved improvements to your homes and by paying your association fees on time or taking the steps to contact SCS Management for a payment plan. We have a great neighborhood and want to keep our property values at their best! Thanks for doing your part. If you have outstanding assessments, it’s not too late to contact SCS Management (218-463-1777) to set up a payment plan so that can avoid additional fees and get back on track!

(ChC) Trash Days It has been brought to our attention that a significant number of people put trash out for Labor Day. While the city of Houston may have trash pick-up the day after a holiday if your regular trash day falls on a holiday, our neighborhood does not. Any holiday that falls on a Monday or Thursday means we miss a trash pick-up day. The next such occasion is Thanksgiving. Please keep your trash out of sight until the Monday after Thanksgiving.

(ChC) Parking If you park on the neighborhood streets, be sure your vehicle has a valid registration and inspection. Our deed restrictions also have clauses about keeping non-functioning vehicles. You can get a copy of the deed restrictions from the SCS Management website.
(ChC) Neighborhood newsletters While all our loyal readers are much appreciated, you are encouraged to read the newsletters from the other Colonies neighborhoods as well. Several of our neighboring colonies also use SCS Management. They have the same phone numbers for reporting a burnt out street light, trash pick-up days, etc. We all go to the same schools. You can find helpful information in just about all of them.

(ChC) Timely Tips for Gardeners Autumn is upon us! You’ve made it through another Texas Summer. Soon the temperatures will drop and gardens will once again thrive. You will be able to throw open the windows and get a breath of cool air! Autumn is upon us - a glorious season in Texas. Head outside and enjoy your garden during this most pleasant of seasons. Color your world. Have fun experimenting with colorful annual flowers and foliage in your beds and containers. Get creative with Crotons, Mums, Ornamental Peppers and other bold, festive selections. Feed the grass. A Fall lawn feeding is just what the plant doc ordered. Be sure to fertilize with a high-quality product. The grass deserves the best after the stresses of summer. Look for fertilizers with a 21-5-10 or 21-0-0 formulations. The first number is the nitrogen content. Look for slow-release nitrogen to fortify lawns with much-needed nutrients. Plant a tree. A few weeks ago you were likely wishing for a shady spot. Get a head start on summer 2013 by planting trees and large shrubs now. They’ll have time to establish before freezing weather comes our way. Citrus trees are best planted a bit later in the year, after the fruit is finished. Check your local gardening center for other fruit trees.
(ChC) Halloween Halloween falls on a Wednesday this year. 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 4th. Be sure to change you 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 questions? Often a quick call to one of the board members can put your mind at ease. Their numbers 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!

Call Today for Your Free Estimate!
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.

(JC) HOA ASSESSMENTS DUE
Okay, we’ll quit griping about the 2012 assessments (if you haven’t yet paid your 2012 assessment or aren’t on a payment plan, chances are you don’t mind imposing on your neighbors to take up your slack). Instead, we’ll remind you that the 2013 assessments come due on January 1st of the new year. Here are a couple of options: 1. You can lessen the burden of that $465 lump sum by making partial payments before January, just remember to write “2013 Assessment” in the memo line on the check(s) that you send to ACMP. 2. Or you can set up a payment plan for 2013 in advance. As long as you are on a payment plan (and stick to it), you will not be assessed penalties or late fees. Remember that your homeowner assessment will accrue late fees & penalties after January 31st. You can send a check to ACMP (ACMP, Inc., 16650 Pine Forest Lane, Houston, TX 77084) or you can pay online at www.jamestowncolony.com (if you pay online, you are responsible for any service fees for your online payment).

(JC) BANDIT & POLITICAL SIGNS
Keeping the upcoming November elections in mind, here is a review of your rights to post signs: 1. By Texas law, you have the right to post signs for the political candidate of your choice in your own yard. 2. You do not have the right to remove signs from businesses or other people’s yards or private property. 3. However, political signs in common areas are not considered legally posted signs. If signs are posted in subdivision common areas, medians, light poles, etc., they are illegally posted and you can and should remove and dispose of them. 4. Using that same principle, contractor/advertising signs that placed in common areas are also illegally posted signs and you are within your rights to remove such signs. And please do; they are a blight and make our community look cheap. 5. Subdivision signs are the exception to these rules (for instance, signs advertising subdivision events like annual meetings and the community garage sale). Individual garage sale signs are permitted, although signs that are not removed by the end of the sale day are fair game. If you have a garage sale, you are responsible for promptly removing your signs. Lost/found pet signs should likewise be removed in a reasonable time, before the signs become tattered or unsightly. Never post signs on our flag poles.

(JC) GREEN TIPS
1. Here’s an early holiday tip that you can be working on in advance of the holiday season. To avoid having to buy and then throw all that wrapping paper and ribbon in the trash, make re-useable cloth gift sacks in all different sizes and using festive fabrics. You don’t even have to sew to make gift sacks; nowadays, you can buy cloth glue to do the job. A set of gift sacks for the holidays and for birthdays/ anniversaries would also make a great gift for many people on your shopping list. Look for holiday fabric remnants at the end of the year to make it a thrifty gift, as well as a green one. 2. MOSQUITOES - By the time you read this; hopefully, the West Nile threat will have passed and all the little stingers will be dead of the cold but just in case, here are a few thoughts. a. Use whatever you have to use to keep these insects away from your family, including DEET. But remember that DEET isn’t a totally benign chemical. In a recent study, Everglades National Park employees having extensive DEET exposure were more likely to have insomnia, mood disturbances and impaired cognitive function than were lesser exposed co-workers. And it has other side effects (Google it). So use it because it’s riskier not to but be sure to follow application instructions. b. The best thing you can do to avoid mosquito bites is REMOVE STANDING WATER, whether it’s rain collected in a discarded plastic container hiding under a shrub or water sitting in a drain or roof gutter. c. Cover up - wear long-sleeved clothing if possible when spending time outside. d. Mosquitoes are attracted by many fragrances, such as those found in shampoos and sunscreens, so try using fragrance-free products.

e. Most mosquitoes are active between dusk and dawn, so avoid being outside between those times and particularly, avoid heavy exercise during the darker hours because mosquitoes are attracted to body heat, the scent of sweat and sources of high levels of carbon dioxide. f. If you’re entertaining outdoors, light a few citronella candles upwind of where you will mostly be located. Citronella is a natural repellent and is the active component of lemongrass.

(JC) EASY WAY TO REPORT STREET LIGHT OUTAGES
Instead of waiting for the CenterPoint Energy Business Office to open, report the burned out street lights while you’re thinking of it. Go to www.centerpointenergy.com/services/electricity/residential/ reportastreetlightoutage and fill in the information. Remember, the HOA pays for these lights whether they’re burning or not, so you might as well have them burning.

(YTC) WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL THOSE LITTLE GOBLINS! We hope everyone was pleased with outcome of the September 8th Garage Sale. We changed the date this year due to so many other garage sales going on in our area. We feel there was a much better response by changing the date. There were many people driving through the area and getting “good deals.” We always get very good response due to the good publicity Monroe Burk, the President of the Home Owners Association sends out - Thank you Monroe for your time in doing the publicity for the garage sale. The next garage sale will be in April 2013. We will keep you posted. On Thursday, October 25th we will have our monthly Homeowners meeting at the Municipal Utility District Building. Our new surveillance system is “up and running.” A gentleman will have a monitor to show how our new security system works. Please realize that you are to call the Sheriff’s Department, NOT THE BOARD MEMBERS. The surveillance cameras are to protect our subdivision and detour crime hopefully and assist the Sheriff’s Department in finding any persons causing issues in the subdivision. Please come to the October 25th meeting to see how the system works and if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you. If you have dead wood in your yards, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to dispose of it in a proper manner. Please remove all dead wood in your yard as it makes your home look unkempt and our subdivision unattractive. Tree limbs hanging over a fence need to be trimmed, especially if it hangs over into your neighbor’s yard.

are not believed to cause any long-term effects. According to the CDC, severe cases have resulted in “West Nile encephalitis,” an inflammation of the brain, “West Nile meningitis,” inflammation of the membrane around the brain or “West Nile meningoencephalitis,” an inflammation of the brain and the membrane around it. The signs and symptoms of severe disease may last several weeks and may have permanent neurological effects. It is important to note that only 1 in 150 people will develop severe symptoms and about 80% of people infected will show no symptoms at all. If these symptoms develop seek medical attention immediately. The typical time from infection to the onset of signs and symptoms is 3 to 14 days. Signs and symptoms of the milder illness, West Nile fever, include: • • • • •
Headache Fever Body aches Sometimes, swollen lymph nodes Sometimes, a skin rash on the body
We would like to bring to your attention that Harris County has confirmed that the Southdown Village area has tested positive for West Nile Virus in mosquitoes and birds. We want you to know that we have increased the mosquito spraying to four times a week. We have put together information and measures you can take to help keep the mosquito population down and to help protect yourself, your family and your neighbors. If we all work together by taking the time to read and following the helpful information below we believe this will help ensure the health of all Southdown Village residents. Thank you for your time and cooperation.
Reduce or eliminate mosquito populations We encourage all residents, regardless of their location, to protect themselves and family against mosquito bites, remember the 4D’s: dress in loose light colored clothing to cover legs and arms, use repellent that contains DEET, avoid going outside at dusk and dawn, and drain standing water.
Protect yourself and know what to look for When an area tests positive for the West Nile Virus in mosquitoes, it does not always mean there is a high risk of human infection. Simple measures can prevent the spread or infection of the West Nile Virus. Working together, residents can help control the mosquito population.
• Cover as much of the skin as possible by wearing shirts with long sleeves, long pants and socks whenever possible. • Use insect repellents containing DEET. According to the CDC, the most effective repellents contain DEET (N, N-diethyl-mtoluamide or N, N-diethyl-3- methylbenzamide).
In most cases, persons infected with West Nile Virus either show no symptoms or have very mild flu-like symptoms, called West Nile fever. These mild cases of West Nile fever normally last only a few days and

When you are checking your yard there are a couple places that get missed: • In your water meter vault (near the street) - sometimes there is a small leak and this low spot holds water for the mosquitoes to lay eggs in. • If you have a sprinkler system, look in the valve control boxes (green or black 6” round covers scattered thru the yard) - again sometimes they hold water. • Check in the bushes if you have a place where the water pours off the roof - sometimes it makes a hole where water will sit for days. • If you have yard/landscape drains - Check the inlet boxes - they hold water. Also the underground pipes (usually installed using flexible black plastic pipe) do not fully drain.

CYPRESS FALLS STUDENT WINS BIG AT KEY CLUB INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION From July 4th to 8th, Cypress Falls Key Club members traveled to Orlando, Florida for the annual International Convention (ICON). At ICON, Key Club volunteers from around the world unite to participate in workshops, contests and charity events. Rising junior, Roshni Chandwani, won second place in an oratorical contest that questioned how the average Key Clubber could bring a global campaign, such as The Eliminate Project, to their school and local community. Chandwani proposed for every Key Clubber to change the world by being a SUPERhero - Speaking, Uniting, Preparing, Executing and Revising. Her oratory taught Key Club members to follow the five steps in order to have a substantial impact on their communities. Additionally, she included information about the significance of The Eliminate Project, an organization determined to eradicate maternal/ neonatal tetanus (MNT) from the world by 2015. 160 babies die daily, but MNT has been eliminated in twenty countries since 2000. Chandwani’s speech speaks to the impact of MNT and how it is very possible to stop the disease. The accolade was announced at the end of the International Convention before Key Club members from around the world. Chandwani said, “I was honored to receive such a distinction because The Eliminate Project is something I’ve been working on for the past two years and I’ve been involved with a lot of fundraisers for the project.”

Moreover, Chandwani was selected to serve as the Convention Liason during the upcoming school year. In her position, she will be in charge of coordinating the 2013 District Convention - choosing the theme, encouraging participation and planning the specifics of the weekend. On her Tex-O-Key blog, Chandwani wrote, “DCON is a way for us all to come together at the end of the year to celebrate our dedicated service with passion, excitement and enthusiasm. DCON is extremely important because of the diffusion of ideas and practices that takes place.” The Cypress Falls club sponsor, Kathie Kiklas, said, “Roshni has been an enthusiastic member of our Key Club and I couldn’t be prouder of everything she has accomplished.” We look forward to many great things ahead from Chandwani.

CYPRESS FALLS KEY CLUB RECRUITS INCOMING FRESHMAN With the advent of the 2012 school year right before our eyes, the Cypress Falls Key Club has been busily occupied with the most important mission of the year - recruiting members. For every club, their main source of new volunteers is the influx of freshmen that enter the school’s double doors each fall semester. Though many current members reach out to friends and family to join the organization, not all prospective Key Clubbers are lucky enough to be in contact with someone who is already involved in the program. Because of this, the Cypress Falls Key Club goes fishing for new members every year at Fish Camp. Many of the incoming freshman are anxious yet inquisitive about what’s to come during the next four years of their lives. As upperclassmen that have been there ourselves, it’s our job to make them feel welcome in our school. Further, as committed Key Club members, it’s even more important for us to treat others with the respect, integrity and care that are characteristic of the organization we’re a part of. At Fish Camp, Key Club members enthusiastically greet and befriend the incoming ninth graders to ease some of the worries they feel about entering a new phase in their lives. A nervous freshman-tobe last year, I remember hearing the energetic chanting of “Join Key Club!” and wondering why anyone would choose to join a club of key-makers. My curiosity got the best of me, nonetheless and I decided to take a closer look. The President of the organization was enthusiastically telling a small group of students about their numerous volunteer events. As I watched her speak, I determined that I wanted to find something I could be equally passionate about and

signed my name to become a new member. Meeting an amicable person or discovering a new niche can make a big, scary school a much nicer placer to be. The recruitment of new members at Fish Camp helps incoming freshmen meet new friends, build their character and recognize a passion for volunteering while also having a lasting impact on the community. The more volunteers, the more of an impact. What’s greater is that in four years, these freshmen will be leading the Cypress Falls Key Club. In four years, they’ll be crossing the stage and leaving the halls of Cypress Falls to become adults. In four years, the concepts they learn as a volunteer will be something they can apply to the real world. Key Club members who learn to do “whatever it takes” to help those around them in high school will carry those skills throughout life and help people wherever they can - and that’s what Key Club is all about.

For your convenience, information is posted on the district website. If you have questions or need additional information, please go to www. hcphes.org and view 2012 West Nile Virus Response.

The General Election for 2012 will be held on Tuesday, November 6th. America is blessed to have a democratic system that allows the people to select their representatives. We can have a republic of the people, for the people and by the people only if we participate in the process. Texas voters will select from a long list of contested races including the President of the United States, US Senator, every U.S. Congressional Representative, State-wide races including Railroad Commissioner, State Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals judges, State Senator and Representative, judicial positions for the First Court of Appeals, District Courts, Family District Courts, county officials and county judicial positions for civil courts, criminal courts, constables and justices of the peace. Every citizen has an obligation to be informed and participate in the election process. This election could be the most important in your lifetime to choose the road ahead for America and preserve the Constitution. If you are not registered to vote, obtain a voter’s registration application and register to vote 30 days before the election. The last day to register to vote is October 9th. Don’t wait until the last day to register

“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.

6 whole garlic cloves 3/4 pound (about 12) Brussels sprouts, cut in 1/2 1/2 cup chicken broth

Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until crisp. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain, then cut into small pieces and set aside. Put the sprouts in the skillet with bacon grease, flat side down, and saute until they begin to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn them over, increase the heat to medium-high and add the sugar and the broth. Cook for a few minutes, then add the cooked bacon and the garlic cloves. Cover and cook for 2 more minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
