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 />

finished. This is as simple as taking a<br />

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 />

According to the Texas department of public safety:<br />

• ATV’s are not allowed on a street and an operator crossing a street must<br />

have a valid driver’s license.<br />

• Golf carts are allowed on roads, but must obey all traffic laws including<br />

speed limits. If operated on a road the golf cart must have a license plate<br />

and the driver must have a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance.<br />

• Mopeds and motor assisted scooters are treated as regular bicycles. All<br />

vehicles used on roads must obey traffic laws including stop signs and<br />

speed limits. For additional information on this subject go to www.txdps.<br />

state.tx.us/msb/pages/Electric.htm.<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 />

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 />

brother (joining Nathan and Noah) from Langham Creek to win a City<br />

Championship with the Fair Creek team.<br />

The Fair Creek and 9 other High School teams in the Houston area will now<br />

play in the Spring /Summer recreational High School league with games<br />

on Sunday nights at the Willowbrook Aerodrome. The <strong>2017</strong>-18 high<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 />

Seton,Texas Christina School and Christian Life Center.<br />

better place.<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 />

29TH ANNUAL B. F. ADAM GOLF CLASSIC<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 />
