<strong>March</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong>


Spring Forward<br />

Daylight saving time <strong>2018</strong> in Texas will begin at 2:00 AM on Sunday, <strong>March</strong> 11.<br />

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is often wrongly referred to as “Daylight Savings,” with an “s”<br />

at the end. Other common variations are “Summer Time” and “Daylight-Saving Time.”<br />

The term “Daylight Savings Time” is very commonly used, especially in Australia, Canada and<br />

the United States. It’s likely that the incorrect term “savings” entered the popular vocabulary<br />

because it’s so often used in everyday contexts, like “savings account.” At the beginning of<br />

the DST period in the spring, clocks are moved forward, usually by 1 hour. When DST<br />

ends in fall (autumn), clocks are turned back again. DST does not add daylight, but it gives<br />

more usable hours of daylight. In that sense, DST “saves” daylight, especially during early<br />

spring. Standard time refers to time without DST.<br />

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

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, residents of Canyon<br />

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 license to show proof of<br />

residency and then they can register there. The two recreation centers are on different computer systems and in order to use the <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong><br />

amenities, residents must sign up on their system and vice versa. Canyon Lakes West and Miramesa are on the same computer system, so you only<br />

have to sign up at one or the other, not both.<br />

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<br />

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

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

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

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

Because the paths are for registered golfers, those playing golf are not<br />

aware of the presence of pedestrians on the course, which can lead to<br />

very damaging collisions with hikers/bikers and their pets. This January<br />

I fielded a report of a pedestrian being struck by a golf ball and other<br />

reports of residents having near miss encounters with golf carts when<br />

traveling along the paths. Hiking, jogging, biking, dog walking, golf<br />

cart/ATV’s not being used to play golf, skateboarding and skating on<br />

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

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

Notice of Annual Assessments<br />

Please be advised Annual Assessments will be mailed shortly and should<br />

Keep Our Lakes Clean<br />

Please help us keep our community beautiful by NOT THROWING trash<br />

and debris into the lakes. In addition, there is NO SWIMMING, BOATING<br />

OR FISHING in the LAKES.<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 />

Pets<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 />

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. If you happen<br />

to come across vicious dogs or ANY loose dogs of this nature, please<br />

contact your local Animal Control at 281-999-3191. If you are familiar<br />

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

that information to PMG, Michael Graves mgraves@pmghouston.com, to<br />

pursue the deed restriction violation. Notification and ample time must<br />

be given to the owner to correct the violation prior to any further pursuit<br />

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 loses their collar/ID tag.<br />

CFISD Livestock Show and Sale<br />

Cypress Falls High School senior Jessica Byrd’s Grand Champion Swine sold to<br />

Conda Maze JRP LLC for $31,000, which set a new record at the CFISD Livestock<br />

Show and Sale.<br />

LIVESTOCK SHOW AND SALE GENERATES NEARLY $340,000 FOR PROJECTS<br />

CFISD students and the high school FFA programs showcased another<br />

successful CFISD Livestock Show and Sale, its 24 th year, on Feb. 8 th -10 th at the<br />

CFISD Exhibit Center.<br />

Even with the entire greater Houston area recovering from Hurricane Harvey<br />

and the post-storm flooding, the CFISD community showed an incredible<br />

amount of generosity in the live auction, freezer sale and via additional<br />

monetary contributions to students.<br />

The Premium Sale (live auction) unofficially raised nearly $340,000. Final<br />

amounts from the Freezer Sale (animals not placing high enough for the live<br />

auction), Agriculture Mechanics and Horticulture silent auction and additional<br />

gifts to students are not yet available, but one new record was broken:<br />

Conda Maze JRP LLC paid $31,000 for the Grand Champion swine exhibited<br />

by Jessica Byrd (Cypress Falls), eclipsing the previous record.<br />

“Knowing the tremendous hardship (Hurricane Harvey) placed on the<br />

community, we were prepared for participation to be down,” said Denise<br />

Kubecka, lead curriculum coordinator in the career and technical education<br />

department. “When it came time for students to turn in their entries, we<br />

realized our numbers would once again be strong. In the wake of all going on<br />

in the community, families found a way to keep their children involved in the<br />

FFA program. It is always an emotional experience for me to watch the pride<br />

the students exhibit as they walk into that arena. This year was even more<br />

exciting knowing the extra obstacles many students had to overcome.”<br />

The following Livestock Royalty representatives were chosen:<br />

Show King - Caleb Abercrombie from Cypress Ranch FFA;<br />

Show Queen - Kylie Bassett from Cy-Fair FFA;<br />

Mr. Show Teen - Kyle Green from Cypress Woods FFA;<br />

Miss Show Teen - Allysondra Quijano from Cypress Woods FFA; and<br />

Top Hand (Sales) - Makenzie Cegelski from Jersey Village FFA.<br />

Job Awareness Fair<br />

JA INSPIRE MODELS CAREER AWARENESS<br />

TO 9,000 EIGHTH-GRADE STUDENTS<br />

Approximately 9,000 students from 18 CFISD middle schools connected to<br />

potential careers and opportunities in Junior Achievement of Southeast<br />

Texas (JASET)’s fifth annual job awareness fair, JA Inspire, Feb. 5 th -7 th .<br />

The three-day event at the Berry Center allowed all eighth-grade<br />

students to interact with more than 50 Houston businesses in a variety<br />

of industries.<br />

Each day began with a morning welcome session for all students in the<br />

Berry Center arena. Students were then divided in three groups that rotated<br />

between industry presentations in the conference center, a soft-skills<br />

demonstration in the arena and exhibitors in the second-floor concourse.<br />

Students were divided up by four endorsement tracks (STEM, business<br />

and industry, public services and arts and humanities) that they selected<br />

beforehand to receive a more specialized experience.<br />

While exploring career stations on the concourse, students spoke with<br />

company employees and industry representatives to learn more about<br />

their businesses.<br />

Speakers in different career fields closed each day. They included KPRC<br />

Channel 2 anchor Rachel McNeill, a Cypress Creek High School graduate<br />

and Heritage Texas Properties realtor associate Lily Jang, a Langham<br />

Creek High School graduate.<br />

“Our eighth-grade students are fortunate to be able to participate in an<br />

interactive experience that provides them with information on a variety<br />

of careers and local employers from the greater Houston area,” said Dr.<br />

Linda Macias, associate superintendent of curriculum and instruction<br />

and accountability. “This will assist them in making informed decisions<br />

when selecting an endorsement and course selections for high school.”<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 />

18<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 />

and 10 Venturing units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically<br />

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 />

Copperfield Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield<br />

Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and Copperfield Wards, Middlegate Village<br />

Gardening Tips<br />

VEGETABLES<br />

• Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans<br />

and pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, cantaloupe,<br />

okra (if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or<br />

higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and watermelon.<br />

LAWN<br />

• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this part<br />

of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).<br />

• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY<br />

the variety Floratam for best pest resistance. See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.<br />

TREES AND SHRUBS<br />

• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible. In<br />

shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a<br />

dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca<br />

or one of the prostrate junipers.<br />

• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early <strong>March</strong>.<br />

However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have<br />

bloomed.<br />

• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer<br />

analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet<br />

of garden planting area. Early <strong>March</strong> is the ideal time to fertilize<br />

landscape plants because you give them food just before the spring<br />

growing season starts.<br />
