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 />

license to show proof of residency and then they can register there. The two recreation centers are on different computer systems and in order<br />

to use the <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong> amenities, residents must sign up on their system and vice versa. Canyon Lakes West and Miramesa are on the same<br />

GOLF COURSE & CART PATH SAFETY<br />

Please be aware of the safety hazards involved in trespassing onto<br />

the Sterling Country Club and Houston National cart paths and golf<br />

course. The cart paths on both courses are only for golfers that have<br />

registered through our Pro Shop. Cart paths are a means for players<br />

to complete their round of golf as quickly, conveniently and safely as<br />

possible. As the <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong> community continues to grow we feel it is<br />

our responsibility to educate every resident as best we can to keep<br />

pedestrians and their pets safe and away from the cart paths. Golf balls<br />

are often hit at speeds over 150 mph and can have deadly consequences<br />

to a human or pet if hit in the head, throat or chest. Because the paths are<br />

for registered golfers, those playing golf are not aware of the presence of<br />

pedestrians on the course, which can lead to very damaging collisions<br />

with hikers/bikers and their pets. This January I fielded a report of<br />

a pedestrian being struck by a golf ball and other reports of residents<br />

having near miss encounters with golf carts when traveling along the<br />

paths. Hiking, jogging, biking, skateboarding and skating on the<br />

cart paths is strictly prohibited on the basis of safety hazard and<br />

trespassing concerns. Thanks for your cooperation!<br />

CRIME PREVENTION TIPS AND LINKS<br />

School is out so that means there will be more kids out to create mischief.<br />

Please remember to lock your car doors. Most, if not all, of the Burglary of<br />

Motor Vehicles in our area last month came from unlocked cars. Also, if you<br />

see anything suspicious, please call the Constables right away. Even if it turns<br />

out to be nothing, they would rather check it out to keep the neighborhood<br />

safe. Every now and again, something that people may think is nothing, has<br />

actually turned into something. I have attached 3 helpful links below:<br />

The first is for the Vacation Watch. When the residents leave for vacation,<br />

they can fill out the form and as part of their normal duties, the Constables<br />

will drive by and check on their residence. www.constablepct5.com/<br />

vacation-watch<br />

The second is for a Special Watch. If there is something going on around<br />

the resident’s house and they want the Constables to keep an extra eye<br />

out or want a little extra patrol, they can fill this form out and we can take<br />

care of it. www.constablepct5.com/special-watch<br />

Finally is the online crime tips. If there is a crime tip that you have,<br />

you can fill this out and the Constable’s office will look into it. www.<br />

constablepct5.com/online-crime-tips<br />

Precinct #5 Constables office can be reached at 281-463-6666.<br />

PETS<br />

<strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong> Community has had many loose dogs & cats lately. Please<br />

do your part to keep your animals safe and contained on your property.<br />

Please Control Your Pets!<br />

It is a deed restriction violation if your pets are not confined to a fenced<br />

backyard or within your home. They must not be allowed to bark all<br />

night or cause a nuisance to your neighbors. They must also be on a<br />

leash at all times when not in a contained environment. It is also the pet<br />

owner’s responsibility to keep ALL areas of the community FREE from pet<br />

debris when walking your pets. Please remember that cats must also be<br />

confined. Animal Control can be reached at 281-999-3191.<br />

If you happen to come across vicious dogs or ANY loose dogs of this<br />

nature, please contact your local Animal Control at 281-999-3191. If you<br />

are familiar with the property address the pets belong to, please feel free<br />

to submit that information to PMG - Emma Deatherage edeatherage@<br />

pmghouston.com - to pursue the deed restriction violation. Notification<br />

and ample time must be given to the owner to correct the violation prior<br />

to any further pursuit by the Association.<br />

Remember that all pets should always wear a collar with ID tag! Pet<br />

owners should also consider pet microchips for identification in case<br />

your pet looses their collar/ID tag.<br />

Did you know? There is a Lost Pet Feature to Community Intranet<br />

• Log into www.canyongate.com/residents/sg (login required)<br />

• Click on “classifieds” under Resources located on left side of menu<br />

• Click on “lost & found pets”<br />

You personally can create a description of the lost or found pet as well<br />

as add photos. Please include your contact information to speed up<br />

communications.<br />

PET REMINDERS<br />

Due to increased reports of dog attacks and dog bites in the community,<br />

the Association would like to remind residents to keep your pets on a lease<br />

at all times. ALL pets including cats must be leased AT ALL TIMES. There are<br />

leash laws in place by for the community as well as the county. We ask that<br />

you help keep the community safe by keeping your pet on the leash while<br />

out walking in the community and to remember to clean up after them.<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.<br />

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

BE VIGILANT<br />

Residents, Please be advised that a string of incidents (car break-ins, dingdong<br />

ditch) have started to occur on a consistent basis in our area. The<br />

Association encourages residents to be mindful of their surroundings and<br />

report any suspicious activity immediately to the local authorities by calling<br />

the non-emergency number 713-221-6000. Also, Top Gun and gate attendants<br />

RULES OF THE ROAD FOR<br />

S-G OWNER’S ASSOCIATION<br />

This is a reminder…. The operation of motorized vehicles (ATV’s, dirt<br />

bikes, golf carts, etc.) other than mowing equipment on pathways or<br />

trails maintained by the Association or any other Common Area within<br />

the community is not allowed.<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 />

DID YOU KNOW…. ATV’s and Golf Carts on common areas of the<br />

community require your money to repair these areas when damaged.<br />

TENNIS COURTS<br />

The Association kindly asks that residents refrain from using the tennis<br />

courts for anything other than playing tennis. Playing basketball, football<br />

and/or other activities can cause damage to the tennis courts making it<br />

unavailable for other residents to use and creating costly repairs.<br />

REPORT IT!!!<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 />

16<br />

<strong>July</strong> <strong>2017</strong> | <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong>


• 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 />

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 />

helping to keep our community a beautiful place to live!<br />

FISHING IN THE LAKES: Not permitted at any time. Please refrain from<br />

with a securable lid to prevent pets and/or wind from creating a mess in<br />

our community. Trash cans must also be kept sanitary and out of public/<br />

set their trashcan(s) out after 6 PM the evening before their respective<br />

LET US KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS LITTER FREE!<br />

Take responsibility for yourself & be a good neighbor! Keep our streets<br />

& neighborhood trash & litter free! Make it a habit, be a good neighbor<br />

& do your part!<br />

If each person did their own part (around the outside of their home,<br />

including their little stretch of street in front of their house), what a better<br />

place this would be to live!<br />

A clean environment/neighborhood makes people feel good about<br />

themselves. They will keep it clean. Some need to be reminded. Others<br />

need to be continually reminded. It takes time to change habits. Keeping<br />

your neighborhood clean is a habit that takes conscious effort.<br />

Run benefitting the Galveston Island Humane Society. Start and<br />

finish at East Beach in Apfel Park. Run entirely on sand, the Sand<br />

within 1 hour. The Sand Crab starts on beautiful East Beach and<br />

runs west for 3.1 or 1.55 miles (depending on the event). Then<br />

turns back to the finish. The course is lit with led lights. Runners<br />

are required to run with a flashlight or head lamp. There are 2<br />

watertops with sports drink and water hit 2X each for the 10K and<br />
