NEW RESIDENTS
Welcome to the Stone Crest Community. All homeowners & residents
living in the community must abide by the Covenants, Restrictions
and Regulations in accordance with the governing documents. A list
of community contacts & information are found in the last page of the
newsletter. For more information about the community or any concerns,
you may contact our association management.
LIVING IN A HOA COMMUNITY
Homeowners Responsibility
1. Read and comply with the governing documents of the community.
2. Maintain their property according to established standards.
3. Treat association leaders honestly and with respect.
4. Vote in community elections and on other issues.
5. Pay association assessments and charges on time.

living in a HOA Community at caionline.org.
IMPORTANCE OF YEARLY ASSESSMENTS
OUR COMMUNITY’S FOUNDATION
It’s that time of year our annual assessments will be due. These fees are
very important part of the HOA’s function. In order for the association
to perform the many tasks and duties for which it is responsible, the
association must have operating funds. These funds are used to pay for
landscape maintenance, sprinkler repairs, utilities, administration and
help to keep an adequate reserve fund for major repairs or replacement
of common property elements. The requirement upon an owner
for paying assessments is mandatory and therefore, legally binding
according to the association’s governing documents. The amount of the
annual assessment is established each year by the association’s Board
of Directors based upon the Board’s adoption of the annual budget. If
a situation arises that you are unable to pay this assessment, please
contact the Management Team as soon as possible for details about
payment and collection procedures. Accounts that become delinquent
may receive a fine, a late fee or other charges added to the assessment
which can be more costly if not paid in a timely procedure.

Get to Know Food Labels
Reading the Nutrition Facts panel can help you shop and eat or drink
smarter.
Consult an RDN
Whether you want to eat better to lose weight or lower your risk or manage
a chronic disease, consult the experts! Registered dietitian nutritionists can
help you by providing sound, easy-to-follow personalized nutrition advice.
Follow Food Safety Guidelines
Reduce your chances of getting sick by practicing proper food safety.
This includes: regular hand washing, separating raw protein foods from
ready-to-eat foods, cooking foods to the appropriate temperature by
using a food thermometer and refrigerating food quickly at a proper
temperature to slow bacteria growth. Learn more about home food
safety at www.homefoodsafety.org.
Get Cooking
Preparing foods at home can be healthy, rewarding and cost-effective.
Resolve to learn some cooking and kitchen basics, like how to dice an
onion or cook dried beans. The collection of How do I…videos at www.
eatright.org/howdoi will get you started.
Dine Out without Ditching Your Goals
You can eat out and stick to your healthy eating plan! The key is to plan
ahead, ask questions and choose foods carefully. Compare nutrition
information, if available and look for healthier options that are grilled,
baked, broiled or steamed.
EAT RIGHT!
March is National Nutrition Month and the 2017 National Nutrition
Month theme is “Put Your Best Fork Forward.” Below are 17 Food,
Nutrition and Health Tips from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Dedicate yourself to a healthy lifestyle in 2017 with these food, nutrition
and physical activity tips.
Eat Breakfast
Start your morning with a healthy breakfast that includes lean protein,
whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Try making a breakfast burrito with
scrambled eggs, low-fat cheese, salsa and a whole wheat tortilla or a
parfait with low-fat plain yogurt, fruit and whole grain cereal.
Make Half Your Plate Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and veggies add color, flavor and texture plus vitamins, minerals
and fiber to your plate. Make 2 cups of fruit and 2 ½ cups of vegetables
your daily goal. Experiment with different types, including fresh, frozen
and canned.
Watch Portion Sizes
Get out the measuring cups and see how close your portions are to the
recommended serving size. Use half your plate for fruits and vegetables
and the other half for grains and lean protein foods. To complete the
meal, add a serving of fat-free or low-fat milk or yogurt.
Be Active
Regular physical activity has so many health benefits. Start by doing what
exercise you can for at least 10 minutes at a time. Children and teens
should get 60 or more minutes of physical activity per day and adults
should get two hours and 30 minutes per week. You don’t have to hit the
gym - take a walk after dinner or play a game of catch or basketball.
Fix Healthy Snacks
Healthy snacks can sustain your energy levels between meals, especially
when they include a combination of foods. Choose from two or more of
the MyPlate food groups: grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy and protein.
Try raw veggies with low-fat cottage cheese, or a tablespoon of peanut
butter with an apple or banana.
Enact Family Meal Time
Plan to eat as a family at least a few times each week. Set a regular
mealtime. Turn off the TV, phones and other electronic devices to
encourage mealtime talk. Get kids involved in meal planning and cooking
and use this time to teach them about good nutrition.
Banish Brown Bag Boredom
Whether it’s a lunch for work or school, prevent brown bag boredom
with easy-to-fix, healthy lunch ideas. Try a whole-wheat pita pocket with
veggies and hummus or a low sodium vegetable
soup with whole grain crackers or a salad of mixed greens with low-fat
dressing and a hard boiled egg.
Drink More Water
Quench your thirst by drinking water instead of sugary drinks. Stay well
hydrated by drinking plenty of water if you are active, live or work in hot
conditions or are an older adult.
Explore New Foods and Flavors
Add more nutrition and eating pleasure by expanding your range of food
choices. When shopping, make a point of selecting a fruit, vegetable or
whole grain that’s new to you or your family. Try different versions of familiar
foods like purple asparagus, Honeycrisp apples, broccoli or quinoa.
Eat Seafood Twice a Week
Seafood - fish and shellfish - contains a range of nutrients including
healthy omega-3 fats. Salmon, trout, oysters and sardines are higher in
omega-3s and lower in mercury.
Cut Back on Added Sugars
Foods and drinks with added sugars can contribute empty calories and little
or no nutrition. Reviewing ingredients on the food label can help you identify
sources of added sugar. Visit www.choosemyplate.gov for more information.
Experiment with more plant-based meals
Expand the variety in your menus with budget friendly meatless meals.
Many recipes that use meat and poultry can be made without. Eating a
variety of plant foods can help. Vegetables, beans and lentils are all great
substitutes. Try including one meatless meal per week to start out.

RODEO HISTORY/FACTS
RODEO PARADE
In 1937, planning had begun for the first Rodeo Parade leading up to the 1938 Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo. The first parade was headed by Mounted Police and various
dignitaries on the city, county and state levels, who also rode horseback. There were two
bands with a Drum and Bugle Corp.
In 1952, the Salt Grass Trail ride was the first trail ride that was formed by only a few men.
The following year, the publicity from that ride attracted more people to join.
All of the Trail Riders converge on Memorial Park to camp out for the night before heading
down Memorial Drive to where it empties out onto Texas Ave to line up for the parade.
The parade has approximately 115 different groups joining in the festivities. There are
15 trail rides, 20 floats, 15 commercial wagons and stagecoaches and 10 to 15 university
and high-school marching bands in addition to Show officials, other elected officials and
dignitaries on horseback and in vehicles.
TRAIL RIDES
The Trail Rides (cavalcades) are a long tradition with the rodeo and gather at Memorial
Park to camp for a rest and party before the big Annual Rodeo Parade through Downtown
Houston.
Salt Grass Trail Ride - 85-mile (137 km) ride from Cat Spring, Texas, established in 1952
Sam Houston Trail Ride - 66-mile (106 km) ride from Montgomery, Texas, established in 1955

WORLD’S CHAMPIONSHIP BAR-B-QUE CONTEST
The World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest, also simply known as “The Cookoff,” started
in 1974 and has consistently drawn massive attendance numbers for the three-day event,
24 March 2017 | Stone Crest

drawing a record 264,132 visitors in 2013. It takes place on the southern
parking lot of NRG Stadium, with over 350 teams participating every year
and is generally considered a “Hot Ticket,” as most are for members or by
invitation only. While the event is open to the general public, those that
can get into the tents are generally allowed an unlimited amount of food
and beverages.
THE CALF SCRAMBLE
Since the addition of the event in 1942, it has been one of the more
popular events during the actual rodeo. The event features 14 calves and
28 students who must try to capture one of the calves, put a halter on
it and bring it back into the “winners square” in order to claim the win.
One of the rules is that as long as a contestant is actually in the act of
holding the calf (i.e. Holding it by the tail) to get the halter on, no other
participant may interfere unless the calf wriggles itself free. It’s at this
point where the calf is fair game once again. The event is held nightly
between major events in the Reliant Stadium. Each of the students who
catch a calf is awarded a $1,250 certificate to purchase a registered beef
heifer. Raising and showing this heifer becomes a yearlong project as
the scrambler sees to the grooming, feeding and care of the animal. The
exhibitor returns to the Houston Livestock Show the following year for a
special competition. Calf Scramble exhibitors receive a $250 bonus when
they return to compete with their heifer, totaling their $1,500 certificate.
A similar events for youngsters is Mutton Bustin’, for 5 and 6-year-olds,
who try to ride on top of a sheep for eight seconds.

Rodeo Houston also features the traditional rodeo events of bull riding,
bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, team roping, steer wrestling, calf
roping, barrel racing (women only) and chuck wagon racing.
TRANSPORTATION
With between 60,000 and 150,000 people attending the rodeo each day,
every year, the city’s transportation infrastructure is taxed as it must
also compete with regular Houston Rush Hour on regular business days.
There are a variety of ways into and out of the complex that include Park
and Ride lots in certain parts of the city that are provided by the event as
an express straight onto the property, Taxi, Self Parking, and METRORail.
The Coordinators of the event try to persuade attendees to use public
transportation as the most convenient way to and from the Rodeo.
