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 />

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 />

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 />

is a day to honor superheroes, both real and fictional. Batman,<br />
Superman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Hulk<br />
and Spiderman are just some of the superheroes whose names<br />

are great role models for our children. They serve and protect<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 />
media using #NationalSuperheroDay. National<br />
Superhero Day was created in 1995 by Marvel<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 />
