NEWS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF COPPERFIELD January 2013

Copperfield Coalition

Volume 5, Issue 1

A Non-Profit Incorporated Organization

MEDIANS ON FM529 The Coalition met with TXDOT officials on December 4th to discuss the FM529 project. A little behind schedule, the construction/modification of medians on FM529 commenced midDecember. TXDOT has made a few more changes to their plans. They have informed us that any median less than 10 feet wide would receive pavers (earth-tone colored brick inserts) rather than being green. They are concerned for the safety of any maintenance or landscaping crews that would be maintaining said medians. They feel that anything less than 10 feet wide would endanger the lives of the workers due to the close proximity to high-speed vehicles. Any and all medians beyond 10 feet will be green. TXDOT will also be installing sleeves to the medians which would allow for future irrigation and landscaping if desired by the communities or the businesses around them. Hearthstone has agreed to landscape the medians from Horsepen Creek to SH6. In the future the Coalition will attempt to solicit other communities and businesses on FM529 to do the same. PROSTITUTION AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING The Coalition met with Sheriff Garcia and his command staff. This was a follow-up from the September 18th Town Hall. One of the topics we discussed was the massage parlors and the new regulations concerning them. The new regulations were passed in Commissioner’s Court on Tuesday, October 9, 2012. These were the new SOB (Sexually Oriented Business) Regulations crafted by Pct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle’s and Constable Ron Hickman’s Task Force. This will also impact and help control, Human Trafficking in Harris County. The new regulations allowed for a 90 day grace period which will be up on or around January 9, 2013. We discussed the possibility of Sheriff Garcia borrowing manpower from all his different divisions to aid in a mass enforcement of the new regulations the day the 90 day grace period is up. His response was in favor of doing just that. We had reported that the massage parlor located on FM529, directly across the street from Kroger, next to Apple Dental was Copyright © 2013 Peel, Inc.

shut down shortly after our Town Hall Meeting. Unfortunately, we have discovered that this massage parlor, which is extremely close to Langham Creek High School, is back up and running again. It is advertising once again on Backpage.com under the services of Escorts and Body Rubs. The Coalition will emphasize its concerns that this and all other illegal establishments in, around, and nearby our area are dealt with the resolve to have them shut down permanently. We must send a clear and decisive message to these organizations that they are not welcome in our community and will not be tolerated. CRIME, SECURITY AND SAFETY If You See Something, Say Something! “If you see something, say something” is the slogan of Homeland Security. Harris County has also adopted this motto, if you see something, say something no matter how insignificant you may think it is. If you are the slightest bit suspicious, call the Harris County non-emergency number and report it. If it is life threatening or an emergency, of course dial 911. The deputies would rather show up to find out it is nothing than show up later after a crime has been committed, and then it is too late. Let’s all take a pro-active stance. Let’s stop crime before it starts. Make a call! Non-emergency number: 713-221-6000. MONTHLY MEETINGS OPEN TO ALL The Copperfield Coalition meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Copperfield Community Center, 15409 Willow River Drive. The meeting is in the board room; please come in the main door. Please check the website for any last minute cancelations and/or changes before attending. Come to one of our meetings and find out what we are all about. If you are interested in protecting the integrity of Copperfield, our lifestyle and our property values, then please join us. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED If you are interested in becoming a member, being on a committee, or being an advisory member, then please come to one of our meetings or contact us at Anthony@CopperfieldCoalition.COM.

The Copperfield Courier - January 2013

COPPERFIELD COURIER Congratulations, Lobos! The Langham Creek Cheer Squad would like to congratulate the Mighty Lobo football team for being District Champs! It was a fun and exciting season and the squad was honored to be part of it all! On November 15th, the cheerleaders served Thanksgiving dinner to the residents of Grace Care Center. It was a wonderful act of kindness and service that was beneficial for all in attendance. Thank you girls for being active in your community for the good of others. The Lobo cheerleaders had some great “nature” time on Sunday, November 18th, with family and friends at their annual hayride. On a beautiful, crisp night, they roasted hot dogs and made smores over a camp fire, played games and enjoyed each others company away from the lights and complications of the city. A well deserved respite for our hard working girls! On Sunday, December 2nd, the cheerleaders donned their Santa hats and holiday garb, hopped on a beautifully lit float complete with music and a snow blowing snowman and rolled down Highway 6 in the annual Parade of Lights. Once again, our girls served as beautiful ambassadors of Langham Creek High School in a fun community event benefiting the Cy Fair Volunteer Fire Department. In the midst of everything already mentioned, the squad has been intensely practicing for and performing in competitions and supporting the Lobo basketball teams courtside! Go Lobos!

COPPERFIELD COURIER GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL Copper Corners Service Unit

Girl Scouts in the Copper Corners Service Unit are looking forward to lots of activities in 2013! January always begins with the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale. Girls will be selling those delicious cookies starting January 5. so plan to order plenty of your old favorites! A new cookie this year is the Mango Crème, a crunchy vanilla and coconut cookie with a mango-flavored crème filling. Be sure to give them a try! Selling Girl Scout cookies helps girls to develop business and organizational skills, and provides funds for individual troops and San Jacinto Council. Cookie money helps to maintain and equip our great camps, and buys things like bows and arrows, canoes, feed for the horses, and much more. When you purchase Girl Scout Cookies, you are helping to provide special programs and opportunities for our local Girl Scouts. We appreciate the support of our friends and neighbors! If we missed visiting YOUR house, look for cookie booths at area businesses between February 15 and March 24th! Girl Scout leaders and their daughters are looking forward to Leader/Daughter weekend January 11-13. We’ll be gathering in the Hill Country for an incredible weekend. This is an opportunity for leader moms and their daughters to enjoy time together. Crafts, a campfire sing-along, and great food (Dutch oven cobbler….mom!) are some of the things we always look forward to at camp. . We make new friends, and have time to relax and visit with old ones. We might be climbing a rock wall, participating in a trail ride, or performing in the talent show, but we always have a great time and bring back wonderful memories! Troop 16150, a new kindergarten Daisy troops has already started to create Girl Scout memories. The girls welcomed parents, family and friends to their investiture ceremony, and celebrated with a party. They had learned and recited the Girl Scout promise, and sang Girl Scout songs for their guests. They loved showing off their new Girl Scout pins, and the promise circle that they earned at their very first troop meeting. You can see the beautiful cake from their celebration, along with troop photos. Other activities in the planning stages are Daisy Day, Brownie Day and an event for older girls. Rumor has it that information on the service unit “Me and My Guy “event will be coming out at the next service unit meeting. Girl Scouting is open to all girls between the ages of 5 (must be in kindergarten) and 18, who are willing to live by the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Copper Corners serves girls in the residence areas for Birkes, Fiest and Lowery Elementary schools, Aragon and Labay Middle schools, and the corresponding high schools. Home schooled and private school students are always welcome. Girls may join at any time, and no previous Scouting experience is required. Girl Scouts has been building girls of courage, confidence and character since 1912. Give us a call to find out more about it! Contact Dianne Massie at 281-555-9148 for more information.

Tennis Tips

By USPTA/PTR Master Professional Fernando Velasco

THE TWO-HANDED BACKHAND VOLLEY In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to hit a forehand groundstroke, a two-handed backhand, one-handed backhand and a forehand volley. In this issue, I will give you instructions on how to execute a two-handed backhand volley for a right hander. This stroke is used whenever the player is forced to hit a ball in the air. In these pictures student Mindy Custer demonstrates the proper form and technique. Photos by Charlie Palafox. Step 1: Ready Position: The body is facing the net. The right hand is holding the end of the racket in a forehand grip position and the left hand is next to the right hand. The left hand is holding the racket slightly tighter than the right hand. Feet are a shoulder width apart and the body is in equal balance. For beginners it is okay to use the forehand and backhand grips for the forehand and backhand volleys. As the player gets stronger and the balls come at a faster speed, it will be best to use the continental grip for both volleys. Step 2: Back Swing: Since the volley is usually executed when a player is close to the net and there is very little time to react to the incoming ball, the back swing is very short. The left hand will make a slight change of the grip and the right hand will be relaxed and lose. The left shoulder should take a short turn and the head of the racket should align to the flight of the ball. The left wrist should be “cocked” back slightly and the head of the racket should be above the wrist. Eyes are still focused on the incoming ball. Here I am helping Mindy to feel the hand on the racket to tilt back and still keep the head of the racket above her wrist. Step 3: Point of Contact: The right foot is now taking a step forward and the racket is making contact with the ball. It is important to keep the left shoulder closed and not rotate the right hip too early. Flexing the right knee will allow more flexibility to find the proper point of contact and give power to the ball. Step 4: Follow Through: Once the racket has made contact with the ball, the follow through is very short to allow the player to immediately get back to the ready position. The right arm should be close to the body. Look for in the next Newsletter: The Serve

COPPERFIELD COURIER A Focus On Resolutions By: Concentra Urgent Care

The New Year is a great time to make healthy lifestyle changes. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, the most common resolutions focus on losing weight, getting fit, quitting smoking, and reducing stress. These are important themes that can reduce your risk of disease. Here are ways you can achieve your goals this year. LOSING WEIGHT A weight loss of five to seven percent of your body weight can improve your health and quality of life. It can also help prevent weight-related health problems, like diabetes. Changing your eating habits and increasing your physical activity are keys to successful weight loss and help to maintain optimal weight for the rest of your life. Create a plan for healthy eating and increased physical activity, while taking in fewer calories than you use. Your healthy eating plan should include: • Taking into account foods you like and dislike • A focus on fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains • Fat-free or low-fat dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, and milk • Protein sources such as lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts • Avoiding saturated and trans fats such as animal fat, butter, and hydrogenated oils • Staying away from foods high in sodium and added sugars For more information on weight management and improving

The Copperfield Courier - January 2013

nutritional practices, visit the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases at www.win.niddk.nih.gov/publications/for_life.htm. GETTING FIT Regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes each day, or broken up into several shorter periods of 20, 15, or 10 minutes, can help you lose weight, keep it off, and stay fit. It can also improve your energy and mood and lower your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Try some of these physical activities: • Walking (15-minute miles or 4 miles per hour) • Biking • Tennis • Aerobic exercise classes (step aerobics, kickboxing, dancing) • Yard work or house cleaning (gardening, raking, mopping, vacuuming) Taking the first step can be the hardest part. Start slowly, at a level that is comfortable for you and add activity as you go along. Sometimes, it helps to have a friend or activity buddy when you start out. It is recommended that adults get at least two and a half hours of moderate physical activity each week. Strengthening activities, such as pushups, sit-ups, or lifting weights, at least two days per week are also encouraged. For more information on getting fit, visit the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports at http://fitness.gov/. Happy New Year from Concentra Urgent Care!
