It is a deed restriction violation if your pets are not confined to a fenced backyard or within your home. They must not be allowed to bark all night or cause a nuisance to your neighbors. They must also be on a leash at all times when not in a contained environment. It is also the pet owner’s responsibility to keep ALL areas of the community FREE from pet debris when walking your pets. Please remember that cats must also be confined. Animal Control can be reached at 281-999-3191. If you happen to come across vicious dogs or ANY loose dogs of this nature, please contact your local Animal Control at 281-999-3191. If you are familiar with the property address the pets belong to, please feel free to submit that information to PMG - Mike Crahan M.Crahan@pmghouston.com - to pursue the deed restriction violation. Notification and ample time must be given to the owner to correct the violation prior to any further pursuit by the Association. Remember that all pets should always wear a collar with ID tag!

Visit TUTS.com to redeem your discount code: CANYONGATE

Deputy Darren Goforth was a 10 year veteran with the Harris County Sheriff’s department. He was dedicated to his line of duty. He protected and served the community with honor and professionalism. Some of the Stone Gate residents shared photos and stories of him attending their “National Night Out” events and allowing the neighborhood children to get inside his police unit and turn on the lights and do a show and tell. In a statement made by his wife, she describes him as “an incredibly intricate blend of toughness and gentility. He was always loyal, ﬁercely so. He was ethical. The right thing to do is what guided his internal compass. He was good. If people want to know what kind of man he was, this is it: He was who you wanted for a friend, a colleague and a neighbor.” Members of the community and friends gathered to show their love and support at the site of the tragedy, as well as at his funeral. Some residents tied blue ribbons on the tree trunks of the trees located along Tuckerton, Queenston and other streets and areas in the community. A petition was sent to The Harris County Commissioners Court and the City of Houston City Council requesting to rename West Road in Houston, Harris County Texas after Deputy Darren Goforth in honor of a man who selﬂessly served the citizens of this County. The Stone Gate community will honor and commemorate this fallen deputy by building a living memorial in the Switchback Section and by creating a scholarship foundation. We thank you in advance for your continued support.

HOLIDAY MARKET & CRAFT SHOW Saturday October 24, 2015 9am - 4pm

Currently we have over 120 cameras up and running. We ﬁxed the cameras ﬁrst to determine who was responsible for damaging the gates by pushing them open with their vehicles. Any vehicle caught on camera damaging the gates will be responsible for all damages to the gate and gate opener. We are in the process of replacing all old hydraulic gate openers with new mechanical gate openers. The new mechanical gate openers are stronger, more reliable and are able to handle the weight of the gate. The target date is to have every gate completed by July 31, 2015. We are also installing new call boxes at the same time as we are putting in the new mechanical gate openers. You may see some street boring or cutting of the concrete to lay new lines for the system. Below we have provided after-hours contact numbers for you to report any suspicious activity. You may share this information with other homeowners. We believe the responsible use of the information is an important part of meeting your needs and provide consistent service. We value you as a homeowner and thank you for your support.

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.

GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL COPPER CREEK MEADOWS COMMUNITY

Girl Scouts from Copper Creek Meadows have been enjoying all kinds of summer activities. Girl Scout Junior Troop 16468 from Birkes Elementary school has been having an especially busy summer. The girls attended the Bull’s Eye Resident camp and also the Girl Scout Day Camp held at the Houston Farm and Ranch Club. They also enjoyed a night of roller skating and a troop circus visit to the Ringling Brothers-Barnum and Bailey Circus. A “Pottery Fun” workshop was an opportunity to explore a new art form. The girls ﬁnished off their troop summer fun with a Space Center Camp-In. Now that school has started, they will be working on Journey project priming and painting metal trash containers at Birkes Elementary. It sounds like these very active and enthusiastic Girl Scouts will be adding quite a collection of patches to their vests and sashes! Many thanks to all those volunteers, Program Aides and Camp Aides who helped to make the Jersey Village Twilight Camp a success! Copper Creek Meadows Community is a part of the Cy-Fair East, Region Four area. The region has a Rallyhood site and Facebook page for Cadette through Ambassador Girl Scouts to provide additional opportunities for our older girls. Check with your troop leader for more information. Cadette Girl Scouts in Area Four will be planning and hosting a Brownie Quest Journey workshop in November in order to earn their Leadership in Action award. Troop 16399 has had several projects to raise funds for the Houston SPCA as they work toward achieving their Bronze Award. Troop 16503 planned their year of events and ideas at their ﬁrst troop meeting for the new school year. They are also planning to start work on their Bronze Award. Copper Creek Meadows Community already has a Leader/Daughter event on the schedule for December 5th. This will be held locally. Be on the lookout for more information!

CY-FALLS STUDENT JOSH GILLIAM OF TROOP 202 EARNS EAGLE SCOUT AWARD

On Sunday, July 19th, Josh Gilliam, son of Jim & Pam Gilliam of Copperfield, earned the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout Award. Josh is a member of Troop 202, a troop sponsored by Middlegate Village Homeowner’s Association. Troop 202 meets regularly on Mondays at 7 PM at Copperfield Church. For his Eagle project and at the recommendation given by Josh’s church - Copperfield Church, Josh chose to build a work table/cabinet for the church staff’s resource room. The cabinet was used to replace a limited, portable 6’ table. The cabinet was constructed of ¾” oak ply-wood with an attractive laminate countertop. The bottom consisted of six cubby-hole shelves (3 in front and back) which will be used for storage. Josh used his funds to purchase the materials from Home Depot. With the help of adult and youth volunteers from Troop 202, as well as scout friends from other troops, Josh organized the crew for the building and installation of the work table/cabinet. Upon being awarded the Eagle Scout rank, Josh has thus-far successfully earned 32 merit badges, completed NYLT (National Youth Leadership Training), held numerous leadership positions in Troop 202 including Senior Patrol Leader

in 2013, participated in three High Adventure trips including Florida Sea Base (2013), Chisolm Trail (2013) and Philmont (2014) and camped with his troop on countless weekends. Josh, 16 years old and in 11th grade, is an outstanding percussionist and a proud member of the CyFalls High School Golden Eagle Marching Band and Drumline! After high school, he plans to pursue music as a profession. His dream is to become successful percussionist with a Drum Corp or large symphony orchestra.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA COPPERHEAD DISTRICT

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities that allow them to: • Try new things. • Provide service to others. • Build self-confidence. • Reinforce ethical standards. Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility and high selfesteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made. Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.
