AMENITY ACCESS - <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong>, Canyon Lakes, Canyon Lakes Village, Canyon Lakes West and Miramesa are in the same homeowner’s<br />

association, S-G Owners Association. All residents are welcome to use the amenities at all locations. To sign up for <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong> amenities,<br />

residents of Canyon Lakes West and/or Miramesa must go to the Recreation Center at <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong> and show them a copy of their driver’s<br />

Dog Walking Etiquette<br />

Good dog-walking etiquette means picking up the poop after your dog is<br />

finished. This is as simple as taking a plastic grocery bag, turning it inside<br />

out and placing your hand inside and using the bag as a plastic glove,<br />

then turn the bag back out and take the bag with you where you can<br />

dispose of it properly. That’s the courteous thing to do. Don’t get caught<br />

without extra poop bags, particularly if you’re going on a long walk. (P.S.<br />

This is a great way to recycle all those plastic grocery bags!)<br />

BEWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS<br />

Remember, we do live in a big city. We have all the elements here and<br />

we have people looking to take advantage of people they perceive as<br />

victims. If a crime is going to occur, the offender must have three things<br />

to accomplish the task: desire, ability and opportunity. Personally, there<br />

is not much that you can do about the offender’s desire and ability.<br />

However, you can take steps to control the offender’s opportunity.<br />

• BE AWARE of your surroundings! Giving the appearance of not paying<br />

attention and not being alert is what offenders look for in a victim. Turn<br />

off your ipod/headphones or cell phone to reduce your risk of being a<br />

crime victim.<br />

<strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong> | <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong> 9


• You should never walk alone! However, if you must walk alone, have a<br />

plan and choose open well lighted and well traveled areas.<br />

• When walking you should walk facing traffic. Do not read while walking<br />

or standing on the street. Be cautious of drivers that stop to talk to you or<br />

are not paying attention to the road.<br />

• Avoid being on the street alone if you are upset or distracted.<br />

• Always tell someone where you’ll be and what time you are going to<br />

return.<br />

• If you think you are being followed: cross the street, change directions,<br />

keep looking back so the person knows you can’t be surprised. Look for a<br />

crowded area and move quickly.<br />

• TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS: If something “feels wrong”, something<br />

probably is wrong.<br />

• If you find yourself in a situation with an assailant, don’t be afraid to<br />

loudly call attention to what the assailant is doing (“Help!” “Fire!” “Get<br />

your hands off me!” “This stranger is bothering me...”, etc.).<br />

• Report suspicious persons to the police immediately!<br />

• Keep emergency numbers near your phone.<br />

• Do not leave messages on your door or voice mail, etc., indicating you<br />

are away or when you will return.<br />

• Be cautious of telephone surveys and NEVER... give out any personal<br />

information.<br />

• Do not prop open doors or gates. This will put everyone at risk.<br />

• Always LOCK your doors, garage and windows.<br />

• Keep access cards, keys and remotes in a safe place. Do not leave them<br />

lying out in the open. Never leave them on a table or shelf near your door.<br />

It takes less than 10 seconds to look into your open door and steal items<br />

from a table or shelf near the door.<br />

HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY REV’S UP<br />

TOWARDS THE PLAYOFFS<br />

What is a fast paced hard hitting game so often termed, “THE COOLEST<br />

GAME IN TOWN” and is played in the Cypress area? You got it, High School<br />

Hockey…. and did you know that there are 10 teams and over 200 High<br />

School players in the Houston area that lace up the skates and drop the<br />

puck every weekend in the Greater Houston area?<br />

Hockey is a blend of speed, agility, strength and endurance with hard<br />

hits and graceful scorers. Hockey takes the hand eye coordination<br />

of baseball, the equipment and pads and hard hits from football and<br />

combines it with the skill of skating on a ¼ blade of steel to create what<br />

is some of the most entertaining action in sports today. Most players<br />

started skating at the age of 5 and are now High School athletes playing<br />

games every weekend with High School Varsity Action. A select few of<br />

the players carry the desire to another level playing on the local Houston<br />

Wild Travel Teams facing other teams from the Dallas, Austin, San<br />

Antonio and Oklahoma areas. The desire and drive of these WARRIORS<br />

ON ICE is showcased every weekend from October to March with High<br />

School Varsity Action.<br />

The Interscholastic Hockey League or “ISHL” as its commonly known is a<br />

Houston Area High School Hockey League made up of a North and South<br />

division. The High School Varsity teams are comprised of either all players<br />

coming from one school or as a “blended” team which combines skaters<br />

from several schools. There are 5 teams in the ISHL North Division with<br />

4 playing their home games at the Willowbrook Aerodrome. The North<br />

Division teams are a blended team Fair Creek along with Cy-Woods,<br />

Woodlands, Klein and Brazos Valley. The South Division teams play their<br />

home games at the Sugarland Ice Arena in Sugarland. The South Division<br />

is made up of 5 teams, Cinco Ranch, Pearland/Friendswood, Memorial<br />

West, Seven Lakes and Clement/Ridgepoint.<br />

The team holding the overall league leading record is Fair Creek whose<br />

players reside mainly in the Cypress area with 4 players from Cy-Fair HS,<br />

2 from Cy-Creek HS, 2 from Langham Creek HS, 2 from Cy-Ridge HS and<br />

1 from Cy-Springs HS. In addition, there are 9 players drafted from other<br />

schools (Tomball, Magnolia, Kingwood, Conroe and Humble). The Fair<br />

Creek team is led “locally” on the ice by CFISD Students Seniors Jaxon<br />

Sharp and Gail Snyder from Cy-Creek HS, Juniors Tyler McLeroy, Brandon<br />

Roskey and Brother Jonathon Roskey and Goalie Evan Ruonavaara all<br />

from Cy Fair High School, Juniors Caleb Newport and Grant Marconi from<br />

Langham Creek HS, Junior Grayson Slagle and Freshman Joey Epplin<br />

from Cy-Ridge HS and Sophomore Brendan Oglesby. Fair Creek’s team<br />

scoring leader is Sam Robinson from Kingwood HS and whose brother<br />

Jake Robinson also plays for the team. Fair Creek is led on the ice by the<br />

ISHL’S All Time Winningest Coach Paul St Amand with long time Assistant<br />

Coach Russ DiRaimo and 3 rd year Coach Jeff Smith.<br />

The final regular league games were played on Friday Night, February<br />

17 th with 2 STRONG matchups featuring 1 st Place Fair Creek going<br />

against 2 nd place Cy-Woods and immediately following was a matchup<br />

of #4 Cinco Ranch going against #6 Klein, both games were played at the<br />

Willowbrook Aerodrome.<br />

The exciting ISHL playoffs culminated with one team being crowned the<br />

<strong>2017</strong> CITY of HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPION. The playoffs ran from<br />

February 24 th through March 10 th , with the playoff matchups determined<br />

once the regular season games are completed. For more information on<br />

standings and statistics, check out the ISHL website at www.ishl.org or<br />

The Cypress Falls Golden Eagles display their <strong>2017</strong> state championship trophy.<br />

CY-FALLS:<br />

UIL STATE<br />

CHAMPIONS<br />

Championship MVP Cypress Falls junior guard Nigel Hawkins.<br />

GOLDEN EAGLES CLINCH FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN SCHOOL HISTORY<br />

The Cypress Falls High School boys’ basketball team came back from a first-half deficit and survived a late-game run by San Antonio Wagner to win the<br />

school’s first-ever UIL Class 6A state championship, 63-57, on March 11 th at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The Golden Eagles (35-3) capped a historic<br />

season in dramatic fashion, rebounding from a 19-11 disadvantage to take control in the second and third quarters and distance themselves from the<br />

Thunderbirds. Wagner came within 3 points in the fourth quarter, but clutch free-throw shooting from Cypress Falls (32 of 40 for 80 percent) sealed the<br />

result. Cypress Falls High School junior Nigel Hawkins was named the MVP with an 18-point, 4-steal performance in which he shot 10 of 12 from the<br />

free-throw line. Junior teammate Trajan Wesley led all scorers with 20 points on an emotional date. His late mother, Monica, passed away 10 years ago<br />

to the day on March 11, 2007. “I can’t explain it,” he said. “Even though she couldn’t be here, she was here in spirit. This is for her.”<br />

“It was a great moment for our kids, but also for our fans,” Coach Flores said. “It was great to see so much green and gold out there and the support<br />

we had. A lot of people drove in today just to see this game. They stepped up for us.”<br />

singing “Make New Friends.” Many thanks to Jewel Cardenas Munoz, who<br />

SCOUTS<br />

Copper Creek Meadows Community<br />

Girl Scouts Of San Jacinto Council<br />

Girl Scouts from all levels in our Community participated in a Thinking<br />

Day event, in February. With troops representing countries from all<br />

around the world. On Thinking Day, we celebrated the international<br />

Scouting movement and our sister Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around<br />

the world. Troops also brought their nickel donations for the Juliette Low<br />

World Friendship Fund.<br />

Girls made their own passports and took a world tour as they visited<br />

the different booths, sampled international food offerings and traded<br />

swops. The photo cutouts for the Spanish senorita (complete with<br />

fan!) and German Fraulein with her long braids were popular with<br />

picture takers. Local color (and colors!) was everywhere. You could see<br />

feathered Carnival headdresses at the Brazil booth and berets at the<br />

French, classical costumes for Greece, “golden” sashes for Egypt and<br />

green hats, socks and headgear for Ireland. The Japanese booth offered<br />

origami instruction with increasing levels of difficulty. There were more<br />

costumes to see and things to look at and do, at booths representing<br />

Australia, Sweden, El Salvador, Vietnam, Madagascar, the Bahamas and<br />

China, among others.<br />

Troops 113009 and 16503 performed the opening and closing flag<br />

ceremonies and led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Girl Scout<br />

We appreciate the support of our friends, families and neighbors during<br />

the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale. Cookie sales fund individual troop<br />

activities and help to support our great camps. Many thanks to Michelle<br />

Baxmann and all the troop Cookie managers and volunteers for their<br />

hard work.<br />

March 12 th is the official birthday of Girl Scouting in the United States and<br />

many of our troops celebrated with parties and birthday cake. Many Girl<br />

Scouts also participated in Girl Scout Sunday/Sabbath events at their<br />

places of worship.<br />

Junior troop 16462 has been working on their Amuse Journey award<br />

Speak Out. They created a book about stereotypes that girls face and<br />

invited Daisy and Brownie Girl Scouts to their troop meeting. At the<br />

meeting, they read the book and talked about it with their sister Girl<br />

Scouts. They also made and served refreshments. Troop 113004 planned<br />

and held a Girl Scout only Cheer Clinic with the Cy Falls Cheerleaders for<br />

Copper Creek Meadows and nearby communities.<br />

Troop 16503 attended the Bechtel Engineering workshop. They learned<br />

about careers in a variety of engineering fields and did some “hands-on”<br />

engineering projects.<br />

Leaders and their daughters are looking forward to the Leader/Daughter<br />

Weekend in <strong>April</strong>. A weekend in Wimberley offers something for every<br />

mother/daughter combination, from horseback riding and kayaking to<br />

shopping and strolling. The Dutch oven cook off, talent show and great<br />

crafts and food make for a very special weekend.<br />

Boy Scouts of America -<br />

Copperhead District<br />

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant<br />

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />

that allow them to:<br />

• Try new things.<br />

• Provide service to others.<br />

• Build self-confidence.<br />

• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as<br />

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility<br />

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made,<br />

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />

through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which<br />

help our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam<br />

Houston Area Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout<br />

Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old)<br />

while fighting evil. Our real-life superheroes may not have super<br />

powers or wear capes, but they are also great role models who<br />

serve and protect while fighting evil. Military personnel, police<br />

officers and firefighters are just a few of the heroes who protect<br />

us on a daily basis. Take your favorite superhero to lunch and<br />

say thank you for all they do. Post photos on social<br />

Volunteer<br />

Opportunities<br />

Cypress Assistance Ministries<br />

Volunteers Needed<br />

When you volunteer you are giving to your community, but did you<br />

realize volunteering also benefits you as an individual? CAM volunteers<br />

often let us know the fun they are having, the friends they have made and<br />

the fulfillment they receive from helping others.<br />

Cypress Assistance Ministries is a local non-profit organization serving<br />

the Cy-Fair area for over 25 years. CAM offers assistance to those in<br />

need by providing financial assistance, food, clothing, employment<br />

assistance as well as GED & ESL classes. A huge part of this organization<br />

is its volunteers. Currently we are in need of volunteers in many different<br />

areas of the ministry. If you would like more information on how to<br />

become involved, please contact Tara Rauch at 281-955-7684 or tarar@<br />

cypressassistance.org. We look forward to hearing from you!<br />
