PROTECT ONE OF YOUR MOST VALUABLE<br />
INVESTMENTS BY DEVELOPING A<br />
CONSISTENT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE<br />
By doing some simple preventative maintenance, you can extend the life<br />
of your home and minimize costly repairs.<br />
Painting - It is important to put a good coat of paint on your home which<br />
may mean painting every three to five years on an average, depending<br />
on the quality of the paint. Painting obviously improves the appearance<br />
of your home and protects your wood or hardiplank from the elements<br />
reducing rot. Don’t forget your ACC application along with paint color<br />
samples, which must be processed and approved first!<br />
Power washing - Take a walk around your property. If you see green<br />
or black mildew on your home and driveway, you can power wash the<br />
mildew off your gutters, home exterior, driveway and sidewalk. This small<br />
step of maintenance can keep your property looking well maintained.<br />
Gutters - Gutters need to be<br />
cleaned out on a regular basis.<br />
This time of year they fill up<br />
with pine needles and leaves.<br />
If the gutters are full of leaves<br />
and pine needles, they will not<br />
drain properly and will need to<br />
be cleaned. The extra weight will<br />
cause the gutter nails to become<br />
loose and the gutter will sag or<br />
fall from your home. Gutters are<br />
important as they protect the<br />
fascia boards.<br />
Landscaping - Trees, shrubs and seasonal flowers add a great deal to<br />
the value of your home and the community. Remember that over time<br />
trees and shrubs can become overgrown and unsightly. Please keep your<br />
landscaping well-trimmed and yard edged so that it enhances your home<br />
and does not interfere with the street.<br />
Street Parking - Please keep in mind that that the streets belong to the<br />
City. Please report all street parking to Harris County Constable Precinct 4<br />
non-emergency line at 281-376- 3472.<br />
If you would like to report any violations please do so. Any questions please<br />
contact Krystal Salazar at 281-213-3184 and/or k.vigil@pmghouston.com, or<br />
Angela Salazar at 281-213-3184 or via email at asalazar@pmghouston.com.<br />
MUD CRIME REPORT<br />
For detailed information, visit www.cd4.hctx.net.<br />
BURGLARY PREVENTION TIPS<br />
FOR YOUR HOME AND VEHICLE<br />
• Acknowledge all callers through locked<br />
doors.<br />
• Keep doors, windows and garage doors<br />
closed and locked even when at home.<br />
• Draw all curtains or shades at night to<br />
prevent viewing from the street.<br />
• Never leave a house key in an obvious<br />
place such as a mailbox, under plants or a<br />
doormat.<br />
• When traveling, keep your home looking<br />
lived-in by having the grass cut regularly,<br />
mail and newspapers picked up and lights<br />
turned on and off.<br />
• Maintain a current inventory of all your valuables. Include photos or<br />
video, descriptions and serial numbers of all electronic equipment.<br />
• Do not advertise on social media the exact dates you may be away from<br />
your home due to traveling.<br />
Doors and Windows<br />
• All exterior doors should be solid core or of metal construction.<br />
• All entry doors should be equipped with a good quality deadbolt lock<br />
having a minimum of a one inch throw.<br />
• A good quality double cylinder deadbolt lock should be used if there is<br />
glass within 40 inches of the lock. If using a double cylinder deadbolt lock,<br />
make sure a key is readily accessible in case of an emergency.<br />
• Use a heavy duty strike plate secured with number 12 gauge three-inch<br />
wood screws.<br />
• All exit doors with outside hinges should have their hinges pinned.<br />
• Install a peephole with at least a 180-degree viewing area.<br />
• Secure all sliding glass doors with an anti-lifting device and a secondary<br />
locking device.<br />
• Windows have latches and not locks, therefore, install secondary locking<br />
devices on all windows.<br />
Exterior and Landscape<br />
• Install lights in areas around doors, walkways and driveways.<br />
• Locate outside lights high and out of reach.<br />
• Use inexpensive timers or photo electric cells to automatically turn the<br />
lights on and off at dusk and dawn.<br />

As part of the partnership, the students also worked with Cy-Fair FCU<br />
to create a commercial promoting the credit union’s new virtual teller<br />
machines (VTMs). CFISD teachers Boucher, Jacob, Butch Stephens<br />
of <strong>Cypress</strong> Park, Sherry Frank of <strong>Cypress</strong> Falls and Lori Andrade of<br />
<strong>Cypress</strong> Woods assisted in the production of the commercial.<br />
Dickey made a cameo in the film as the bank manager. “Working<br />
with this amazingly talented group of storytellers at CFISD Cinema -<br />
students, teachers, credit union employees (and even a cameo by the<br />
Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce President Leslie Martone) - it<br />
is one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had. “What they came up<br />
with is just so fun, silly and enjoyable,” Dickey said. “Everyone that has<br />
seen it has said it made them laugh out loud. The video truly exceeded<br />
our wildest expectations.”<br />
The students’ video will be unveiled at the Texas High School Shorts<br />
competition. Cy-Fair FCU’s new VTV commercial is now live on its<br />
YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKl0VfJaUwc.<br />
CFISD student filmmakers and actors wrap a day of filming their short film,<br />
“Behind the Scenes,” at Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union. The film, created by<br />
<strong>Cypress</strong> Ranch and <strong>Cypress</strong> Woods students, is a finalist in the Texas High<br />

STUDENT FINALISTS IN SXSW COMPETITION<br />
PARTNER WITH CY-FAIR FCU<br />
A film created by <strong>Cypress</strong> Ranch High School students, “Behind the<br />
Scenes,” has been selected as a finalist for the Texas High School Shorts<br />
competition of the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival in Austin.<br />
The fictional dark comedy film features a unique twist on a bank<br />
robbery and was partially filmed at the Cy-Fair Federal Credit<br />
Union Jones Road location through a partnership with Cy-Fair<br />
FCU President/CEO Cameron Dickey. <strong>Cypress</strong> Ranch audio/video<br />
production (AVP) teacher Dustin Boucher worked with student<br />
filmmakers Ricky Martinez, Jake Billard, Sierra Marlborough, Blake<br />
Medlin, Paul Shank and <strong>Cypress</strong> Woods student Cami Beardmore to<br />
produce the film. <strong>Cypress</strong> Falls AVP teacher Rakesh Jacob also helped<br />
collaborate on the effort.<br />
DANCE TEAMS PARTICIPATE IN<br />
SUPER BOWL 51 HALFTIME PERFORMANCE<br />
Dance team members representing the Cy-Fair Brigade, <strong>Cypress</strong> Lakes<br />
Sterling Stars and the Jersey Village Gold Dusters participated in the<br />
Super Bowl 51 halftime performance at NRG Stadium on February 5 th .<br />
Selected groups began rehearsing for the performance in the evenings<br />
at various Houston area stadiums, including NRG stadium. In total,<br />
students attended six rehearsals leading up to the event. As part of<br />
the performance requirements, students and directors were required<br />
to sign nondisclosure statements prohibiting them from discussing<br />
or sharing information regarding the halftime performance, which<br />
featured recording artist Lady Gaga.<br />
“Besides the halftime performance, we were then asked to be among the<br />
three schools that created the pre-game visuals. Being within 100 feet of<br />
President and Mrs. Bush, the award-winning cast of Hamilton and Luke<br />
Bryan allowed our students to act out many of the life-long lessons that<br />
dance/drill team teaches: professionalism, work ethic and determination<br />
to give 100 percent at all times! I am truly grateful and thankful to our<br />
dancers and all of the time they devoted to this event, our administration<br />
for giving us tremendous support and our community for showing us how<br />
proud they are of these young ladies! This has been a dream come true!”<br />

OPEN SPRING <strong>2017</strong><br />
GARDENING TIPS FOR MARCH<br />
VEGETABLES<br />
• Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans and pepper, as<br />
well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, cantaloupe, okra (if the soil has warmed<br />
sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and<br />
watermelon.<br />
LAWN<br />
• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this part of Texas and<br />
suited to the planting location (shade or sun).<br />
• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY the variety<br />
Floratam for best pest resistance. See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.<br />
TREES AND SHRUBS<br />
• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible. In shady areas, where<br />
grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a dependable groundcover such as<br />
English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of the prostrate junipers.<br />
• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early <strong>March</strong>. However, be sure<br />
to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have bloomed.<br />
• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer analysis such as 19 -<br />
5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet of garden planting area. Early <strong>March</strong><br />
is the ideal time to fertilize landscape plants because you give them food just before<br />
the spring growing season starts.<br />
