plastic grocery bag, turning it inside out<br />
and placing your hand inside and using<br />
the bag as a plastic glove, then turn the<br />
bag back out and take the bag with you<br />
where you can dispose of it properly.<br />
That’s the courteous thing to do.<br />
Don’t get caught without extra poop<br />
bags, particularly if you’re going on a<br />
long walk. (P.S. This is a great way to<br />
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 />
• 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 />
14 <strong>May</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong>
• 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 />
DEED RESTRICTION REMINDERS<br />
DOGS: Please remember barking can be a nuisance to your neighbors. Do<br />
your best to be respectful of the noise level on your property. Pets must<br />
be kept on a leash when walking and don’t forget pick up after them.<br />
LOUD NOISE/MUSIC: Domestic neighbor noise, such as DIY work or loud<br />
music, is the most common cause of noise complaint. It is advisable to<br />
take steps to resolve the problem yourself before filing a complaint with<br />
the management company, such as speaking face-to-face or writing a<br />
letter to your neighbor to explain how you are affected. If you have been<br />
unable or not felt comfortable with resolving a problem with domestic<br />
neighbor noise, please call Top Gun at 281-905-2522 or 713-907-2744, so<br />
they may ask your neighbor to lower the noise.<br />
TRASH: As a friendly reminder trash days are on Mondays and Thursdays<br />
for <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong> and Wednesdays and Saturdays for Canyon Lakes West.<br />
TREES: Dead trees and/or missing trees are a violation of your deed<br />
restrictions. If tree stakes are not attached to the tree or if the ties are<br />
an inch or two into the tree - they need to be removed. Thank you for<br />
helping to keep our community a beautiful place to live!<br />
FISHING IN THE LAKES: Not permitted at any time. Please refrain from<br />
this activity.<br />
BASKETBALL GOALS IN STREET: While basketball goals are permitted in<br />
your driveway while being used, they are not allowed in the streets. Please<br />

HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY CHAMPIONS<br />
The 2016-<strong>2017</strong> Interscholastic Hockey League(ISHL) season concluded<br />
on Friday, March 10 th with Cy-Fair’s Fair Creek HS team prevailing with a<br />
hard fought, dramatic 2-1 win over Cinco Ranch on the Frozen Surface at<br />
the Willowbrook Aerodrome.<br />
The Fair Creek HS Team whose players reside mainly in the Cypress area<br />
won the regular season league championship with a record of 17-4-1.<br />
Next up for the team was the 1 st round of the playoffs where Fair Creek<br />
defeated Klein 5-2 to advance to the round robin tournament. In the<br />
round robin, Fair Creek beat Memorial West 7-1, lost a nail biter to Cinco<br />
Ranch 1-2 and came back to beat Cy-Woods 6-3. The top 2 teams in the<br />
round robin would advance to the ISHL Championship Game. Those two<br />
were Fair Creek and Cinco Ranch, which would be a rematch of the Fair<br />
Creek’s only round robin loss. The matchup for the ISHL’s Justice Varsity<br />
High School Championship Cup was set in a one game winner take all.<br />
In the FINALS, Fair Creek came out strong with constant pressure in<br />
Cinco Ranch’s defensive end of the ice. Fair Creek’s only 2 goals of the<br />
game were scored by Sam Robinson 8 seconds apart in the 2 nd period.<br />
(L-R) Tyler McLeroy (Cy-Fair), Jaxon Sharp (Cy-Creek), Joey Epplin (Cy-<br />
Ridge), Gail Snyder (Cy-Creek), Sam Robinson (Kingwood)<br />
Fair Creek and Kingwood Senior Robinson’s 1 st goal was a one timer off<br />
a hustling Cy-Fair Junior Tyler McLeroy’s pinpoint pass. Robinson’s game<br />
winner came only 8 seconds later as he tallied his second goal from a<br />
lazer pass from Cy-Creek Senior Jaxon Sharp, which beat Cinco Ranch’s<br />
goalie Randy Miller. Miller was stout all night long stopping 35 shots and<br />
only allowing 2 to cross the goal line to keep Cinco in the game. Fair Creek<br />
ended up out shooting Cinco Ranch 37-13!<br />
This is Fair Creek’s 3 rd City Championship in the past 10 years….Jaxon<br />
Sharp’s 2 nd City Championship in his 4 year Varsity career, Tyler McLeroy’s<br />
2 nd High School Championship (one with his JV team in 2015 and with<br />
this year’s Varsity Championship) and Caleb was the 3 rd Newport<br />

Championship with the Fair Creek team.<br />

10 WAYS TO PREVENT HEAT STROKE IN STUDENT-ATHLETES<br />
By DAVID JANDA, M.D.<br />
During one four year period, eighteen student-athletes died from heat stroke.<br />
It is imperative that, as parents, we recognize the signs of heat-related illness<br />
and take steps to prevent any more tragedies. Here are ten ways to prevent heat<br />
stroke among football players, guidelines that are applicable to every sport and<br />
recreational activity. • Acclimatize to heat gradually. Practices for the first 14 days<br />
should be shorter and less intense, as should practices on abnormally hot or humid<br />
days. In addition athletes should be encouraged to initiate their own conditioning<br />
program several months prior to the beginning of the season. During the hottest<br />
weather practice sessions should be scheduled in cooler parts of the day. • Account<br />
for heat and humidity. Both the temperature and relative humidity should be taken<br />
into account in determining the length of practice sessions. It has been suggested<br />
that if the sum of the temperature and relative humidity are greater than or equal to<br />
160, special precautions must be taken. If the sum is greater than 180, practice and<br />
or games should be cancelled. • Provide for frequent breaks. Adjust the activity<br />
level and provide frequent rest periods during hot weather (at least 15 minutes per<br />
hour of practice). Athletes should rest in shaded areas; helmets should be removed,<br />
and jerseys should be loosened or removed. • Rehydrate. Cold water or sports<br />
drinks should be available in unlimited quantities to players. Scheduled water<br />
breaks should be strictly enforced. • No salt tablets. Salt should be replaced through<br />
salting of food, not salt tablets. • Weigh athletes before and after practice. Athletes<br />
should be weighed before and after each practice to monitor water loss. Weight<br />
loss greater than 3% indicates a substantial risk and 5% a significant danger to the<br />
student athlete. • No heavy or wet clothing. During practice athletes should wear<br />
cooling clothing such as shorts and fish net jerseys. Sweat saturated t-shirts should<br />
be changed often because they retain heat. Helmets should only be used sparingly in<br />
hot weather. • Parent monitoring. Parents should monitor all practices and games,<br />
with the responsibility shared on a rotating basis among all parents of student<br />
athletes. If a parent observes an unsafe situation developing, he or she should<br />
immediately bring it to the attention of the coach. • Identify athletes at greater<br />
risk. Some athletes are more susceptible to heat illness than others. Identify and<br />
observe closely those at greatest risk of heat illness, including those who are poorly<br />
conditioned, overweight, have an acute illness, or have cystic fibrosis, diabetes, or<br />
mental retardation. Student athletes with a previous history of heat illness should<br />
be watched closely during practices and hot weather. • Learn the warning signs. It<br />
is imperative that all coaches, parents, and players are on the lookout for signs<br />
of dehydration or heat illness, such as fatigue, lethargy, inattention, stupor, and/<br />
or awkwardness. An athlete exhibiting any of these signs should be immediately<br />
removed from participation, cooled down and placed in a shaded environment.<br />

COPPER CREEK MEADOWS COMMUNITY<br />
GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL<br />
Leaders and their daughters had a terrific weekend together at<br />
our annual Leader-Daughter event in April. There was wonderful<br />
weather for all the outdoor activities! When those attending got<br />
tired of kayaking or playing in the river, conditions were just right<br />
for basking in the sun on the riverbank! There were crafts and<br />
campfires, singing, s’mores, zip lines and many other activities,<br />
good food and a chance to kick back and relax together at camp.<br />
The hit of this year’s talent show was a hilarious “synchronized<br />
swim” routine. Our Dutch oven cook-off produced a number of<br />
tasty results. This year’s delicious winner was called “Bye, Bye, Miss<br />
American Pie.” Each year, campers take judging this contest VERY<br />
seriously and make sure to sample each entry. Many thanks to Julie<br />
<strong>May</strong>er and her volunteers for another great event!<br />
Troop 113005 has been working on learning the Girl Scout Law.<br />
They made a cute craft to help them memorize the Law! Troop<br />
113009 learned about space and how some characteristic traits<br />
can be used for good or evil. The earned their “Scouts Rule the<br />
Galaxy”patch. They also demonstrated their skill with light sabers!<br />
Troop 113035 is working on remodeling the butterfly garden at<br />
Lowery Elementary.<br />
Our final Community event for the year will be a Bridging ceremony<br />
in <strong>May</strong>. At this time, troops moving on to the next level of Girl<br />
Scouting are recognized and celebrated.<br />
Summer, of course, is the time for Girl Scout Camp. San Jacinto<br />
Council offers resident, day and twilight camps for Girl Scouts of all<br />
ages. Some of the money earned by Girl Scout Cookie Sales helps<br />
to support our camps and programs. At camp, girls learn to make<br />
new friends, learn new outdoor skills and improve the skills they<br />
acquired LAST year! Camp is where you learn all those silly camp<br />
songs and traditions and learn more about all the things that Girl<br />
Scouts do. Camp is also the place that you DO them!<br />
Girl Scouting is open to all girls ages 5 (must be in kindergarten)<br />
through 18, who are willing to accept the Girl Scout Promise and<br />
Law. Girls may join at any level and no previous Scouting experience<br />
is required. Older girls, whose schedules do not allow for troop<br />
activities may join as individually registered Girl Scouts. Don’t<br />
forget that many of our most exciting opportunities are available<br />
to older girls.<br />
Copper Creek Meadows Community serves girls in the residence<br />
areas for the elementary schools listed below, as well as the<br />
corresponding middle and high schools. Home schooled and<br />
private school students are always welcome.<br />
Our elementary schools are: Birkes, Fiest, Hairgrove, Horne, Kirk,<br />
Lee, Lieder, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Tipps, Wilson, St. Elizabeth Ann<br />

Scouting News Continued...<br />
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />
For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values<br />
found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just<br />
as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were<br />
in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence,<br />
ethics, leadership skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that<br />
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 help<br />
our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area<br />
Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />
to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing<br />
units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />
Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools<br />
including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley,<br />
Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan,<br />
Tipps, Walker and Wilson.<br />
Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church,<br />
Beck and Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church,<br />

The Cy-Fair Educational Foundation (CFEF) will hold its 29 th Annual B. F.<br />
Adam Golf Classic at BlackHorse Golf Club on <strong>May</strong> 11, <strong>2017</strong>. For the past<br />
7 years, Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital, a Cy-Fair Educational<br />
Foundation Partner, has generously underwritten this tournament.<br />
Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson and IBI Group have been Platinum<br />
Sponsors for more than 10 years.<br />
Serving your community<br />
for over 20 Years!<br />
One of the largest non-celebrity tournaments in the Houston area, the<br />
B.F. Adam Golf Classic is a prime example of our trustees and community<br />
business partners working together to raise scholarship funds for<br />
students of Cypress Fairbanks ISD. This tournament has successfully<br />
raised over 2.7 million dollars. CFEF was established in 1970 as a nonprofit<br />
to raise money to fund a scholarship for high school graduates in<br />
the area. Over the past 46 years, the Foundation has grown tremendously<br />
through the efforts of the Board of Trustees and the generosity of the Cy-<br />
Fair Community. The Foundation has awarded more than $7 million in<br />
scholarships to 1,400 graduating seniors. CFEF is a 501(c)3 non-profit<br />
organization, all contributions are tax deductible, as allowed by the law.<br />
SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE<br />

ACTS OF WISDOM GOLF TOURNAMENT<br />
Friday, <strong>May</strong> 12, <strong>2017</strong>, 1:30 PM Houston National Golf Course, 16500<br />
Houston National Blvd, Houston, TX 77095<br />
Join Us for a day of FUN, FOOD and GOLF benefiting ACTS of Wisdom,<br />
a faith-based, non-profit organization that seeks to provide quality<br />
education to children in rural Africa.<br />
Cost: $115 Free range balls, cart, green fees, two drinks on course,<br />
tournament prize and dinner. (If you do not have a foursome, we will pair<br />
you with others.)<br />
All proceeds benefit Acts of Wisdom and help to expand our presence<br />
in rural Africa to help give more children the materials they need for<br />
school. For a registration form or to be a sponsor at any level, please go<br />
to actsofwisdom.com.<br />
ACTS of Wisdom grew out of founder Pastor Brad Otto’s experiences in<br />
Ethiopia and the Book of Acts where an Ethiopian Eunuch asks the Apostle<br />
Philip about Jesus. Philip is stunned that he doesn’t know, to which the<br />
eunuch replies, “No one has ever taught me.” Part of the cycle of poverty<br />
is not having access to quality education or having inadequate supplies<br />
for education. 145 million children in the world do not have access to<br />
education, yet children still dream of becoming doctors, lawyers and<br />
teachers. At ACTS of Wisdom we believe every child, everywhere, should<br />
have access to education and to teachers willing to take time to teach<br />
them. Our hope is that through bettering the education opportunities of<br />
children, we might be able to help end the cycle of poverty and begin to<br />
have peace in our world.<br />

MOTHER’S DAY - A DAY FOR MOM<br />
Mother’s Day has its roots in ancient Greek festivals honoring Rhea, the<br />
Mother of the Gods. The modern American holiday officially began in<br />
1914, when President Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday in<br />
<strong>May</strong> a day to honor all the mothers. Here are some tips on celebrating<br />
Mother’s Day on <strong>May</strong> 14th!<br />

1. Deliver the classic Mother’s Day treat: breakfast in bed on an oldfashioned<br />
wicker tray table. Cook her favorite morning fare, mix her an<br />
eye-opening mimosa and tuck her favorite flowers into a small crystal<br />
vase. If the tray has slots on the sides, fill them with small presents (or big<br />
presents in small packages).<br />
2. Take your mother on a trip with Mother’s Day sandwiched in the<br />
middle. Make it as simple as a long weekend at the beach or as elaborate<br />
as a trip across the States.<br />
3. Surprise your mother with a visit if she lives far away.<br />
4. Deliver her present by way of a treasure hunt. Lead her on as long a<br />
trail as you think she’ll find amusing, with her present waiting at the end.<br />
5. Honor your mother’s memory if she’s no longer living. Send a donation<br />
to her favorite charity or spend the day working for her favorite cause. Do<br />
things she taught you to love.<br />
6. Thank the women who produced your favorite people - send cards,<br />
flowers or notes to the mothers of your friends, even if you’ve never met<br />
them.<br />
7. Throw a Mother’s Day party for your mother, your friends and their<br />
mothers. Consider a festive spring brunch.<br />
8. Best tip: tell mom you love her.<br />
