Locale<br />

“We have lived here in Cypress area since July 2013. We like living in this<br />

area because it’s where we built our first home and we have family nearby.<br />

Also because everything is nearby and has had many new developments<br />

like Boardwalk, beautiful parks, great schools, restaurants, stores, etc. The<br />

area means a lot to us because we come to see how communities come<br />

together to help and support neighbors in times of need. We have also<br />

meet great neighbors that have become great friends.”<br />

Long Awaited Spring<br />

Their favorite spring time tradition as a family is picking out their cowboy and cowgirl<br />

wear for Rodeo Day, and then head down to NRG to enjoy the Rodeo food and<br />

concerts. Of course, the kids have a blast at the carnival!<br />

The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town: “For Easter each year as a family, we like to go<br />

to brunch together, followed by Easter church service and we like to host a BBQ with<br />

close friends and family. Our Easter tradition is an Easter egg hunt for kids, we always<br />

make baskets for our kids filled with their favorite goodies, and bake and decorate an<br />

Easter theme cake.”<br />

And he’s good to me: The kids’ Easter baskets and usually filled with toys, candies,<br />

shirts and each kid’s favorite goodies based on their favorite character or hobby.<br />

What’s it all about: To this family, the true meaning of Easter is the “religious<br />

celebration celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. Also a time to get together with close<br />

family and friends and spend quality time together.”<br />

Heart to Heart<br />

“One of our biggest challenges was learning that not<br />

everyone is as understanding towards special needs and<br />

some lack knowledge to Autism. We went from having<br />

such hard times making a grocery trip or taking my kids<br />

to a playground because some would look at my son as<br />

their definition of normal and due to his sensory overload<br />

moments adults would stare or make rude comments<br />

when he would stim or have a moment. Children around<br />

him always seem to be much more understanding than<br />

adults, but we have come such a long way from letting<br />

that turn into fear to be out in public to not letting that<br />

stop us and my children from enjoying life and all the<br />

beautiful things life has for them to explore. Now we<br />

enjoy the outdoors more, explore new places and travel<br />

more.”<br />

Things to Do<br />

This family loves to enjoy great food at local restaurants<br />

and attend events in the area. They are also adventurous<br />

in that they like to try new activities together as a family.<br />

“BE WATCHFUL, STAND FIRM IN YOUR<br />

FAITH,BE COURAGEOUS, BE STRONG.“<br />

INTERNATIONAL<br />

Spring<br />

Festival<br />

Golf Carts<br />

Please do not allow teenagers and/or young children to drive golf<br />

carts in our community.<br />

Cart Path/Golf Course 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 />

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 />

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 & do<br />

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

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

a better 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 />

Please Do Not Feed<br />

the Ducks and Geese<br />

Spring is the air and this lovely weather has many of us visiting our<br />

community parks and ponds. It can be tempting to feed the ducks as geese<br />

as many of us have grown up thinking that this was an environmentally<br />

responsible and humane way to dispose of old or stale bread. However,<br />

feeding ducks and geese is actually unhealthy and potentially dangerous<br />

for the birds. This seemingly generous act, in fact, can be extremely<br />

harmful.<br />

Bread and similar products such as crackers, chips, doughnuts and<br />

popcorn have little nutritional value. Without healthy food and proper<br />

nutrition the ducks and geese will quickly succumb to disease and death.<br />

Feeding ducks and geese can lead to the following problems as well:<br />

• Duckling malnutrition - in areas where ducks are regularly fed bread<br />

the ducklings will not receive adequate nutrition for proper growth and<br />

development.<br />

• Overcrowding - Where food is easy to come by, ducks and other waterfowl<br />

will lay more eggs and the pond or lake will become overcrowded. This<br />

makes it more difficult for the birds to seek out healthier food sources<br />

and increases territorial aggression, especially during mating season. It<br />

will also cause ducks to cross busy streets in search of food.<br />

• Pollution - What happens to all that bread that is not eaten? It causes<br />

algae growths, pollution and can eventually eradicate fish and other life<br />

in the vicinity.<br />

• Diseases - A diet rich in carbohydrates leads to greater fecal production<br />

and bird feces easily harbors bacteria responsible for numerous diseases<br />

including avian botulism.<br />

• Attraction of pests - Rotting leftover food attracts other unwelcome<br />

pests such as rats, mice and insects. These pests can also harbor<br />

additional diseases that can be dangerous to humans.<br />

If you care about ducks and geese, do not feed them. They can live<br />

longer, healthier lives by relying on natural food sources such as aquatic<br />

plants, seeds, grasses and insects rather than taking handouts from willmeaning<br />

humans. Now that you know, you can help by not feeding the<br />

ducks and geese and by educating other duck lovers.<br />

Be Courteous And Respectful<br />

Please be considerate of the differences in lifestyles between neighbors,<br />

such as family situations (small children, teenagers, retired, elderly,<br />

professionals and students), different work and sleep schedules and<br />

whether they are comfortable with pets or not.<br />

Noise: Be courteous - keep the noise to an acceptable level. Complaints<br />

about excessive noise can come from loud music, outdoor activities,<br />

early morning lawn mowers and guests coming or going during late night<br />

or early morning hours.<br />

parking in the streets. Please be advised that the S-G Owners Association<br />

will begin placing orange violation stickers on vehicles that are in<br />

violation of the parking policy. Per the Parking Policy, vehicles may<br />

only be parked on the street during daylight hours, when the driveway<br />

can hold no additional vehicles. This does include your guests/nanny,<br />

babysitter, home healthcare provider, etc. Commercially marked larger<br />

vehicles like; Comcast, AT&T, Entouch, landscaper, etc., may park in front<br />

of the home they are providing a service call for, if this is the homeowner’s<br />

vehicle, it may not be stored in the community. In addition, no overnight<br />

parking is permitted. Towing will be enforced in the gated sections. We<br />

encourage you to ensure that your vehicles are properly parked and/or<br />

make proper parking arrangements. We thank you for your cooperation<br />

and understanding. The Owners Association understands there may be<br />

extenuating circumstances which arise from time to time, please contact<br />

Tamara Paul, your On-Site Manager; tpaul@pmghouston.com to request<br />

a special accommodation for your household. ~ S-G Owners Association<br />

Pets<br />

Good dog-walking etiquette means picking up the poop after your dog<br />

is finished. This is as simple as taking a plastic grocery bag, turning it<br />

inside out and placing your hand inside and using the bag as a plastic<br />

glove, then turn the bag back out and take the bag with you where you<br />

can dispose of it properly. That’s the courteous thing to do.<br />

Don’t get caught without extra poop bags, particularly if you’re going on a<br />

long walk. (P.S. 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.<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<br />

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

feel free to submit that information to PMG, Michael Graves mgraves@<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 />

Crime Prevention Tips and Links<br />

Please remember to lock your car doors. Also, if you see anything suspicious,<br />

please call the Constables right away. Even if it turns out to be nothing, they<br />

would rather check it out to keep the neighborhood safe. Every now and again,<br />

something that people may think is nothing, has actually turned into something.<br />

I have included 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.<br />

www.constablepct5.com/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.<br />

www.constablepct5.com/special-watch<br />

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

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

formed by a Cypress, Texas family whose daughter bravely fought and<br />

won, her battle with a rare cancerous solid tumor in 2010. Through<br />

for pediatric cancer research and institutions that care for these young<br />

warriors depend greatly on money raised by nonprofits like The Laurel’s<br />

Army Foundation. For more information, please visit us at www.<br />

and can’t wait to discover the treasure that’s in store for them. With the<br />

guidance of Captain Fisher and a map, they start out on an adventure<br />

seeking something more valuable than gold. Though Captain Fisher was<br />

once a pirate searching for the riches of this world, he now seeks God’s<br />

kingdom as a fisher of men. Captain Fisher teaches the kids that they<br />

the life of Christ in song in “Christ in Every Season,” as it is told in the<br />

various seasons of the Christian year. This includes Jesus’ birth, life,<br />

teachings, miracles, suffering, death, resurrection and His giving of<br />

Love That Lasts” starting on Tuesday, <strong>April</strong> 10 th at 7-8:15 PM. This study<br />

reveals how different people express love in different ways and contains<br />

the key to understanding each other’s unique needs. What speaks love<br />

to you may be meaningless to your spouse. Apply the right principles,<br />

learn the right language and soon you’ll know the profound satisfaction<br />

and joy of being able to express your love and feel truly loved in return.<br />

Each week the group will view a teaching by Dr. Chapman and have the<br />

opportunity to discuss the principles taught both in the small group and<br />

with your spouse. Singles are also welcome as there will be opportunity<br />

to apply the teaching to relationships with children, parents and other<br />

significant people in one’s life. Classes will last for 75 minutes and a<br />

nursery for preschool children will be available by advanced reservation.<br />

Each participant will need a small-group study book, which can be<br />

purchased from the church. The cost is $10 per book.<br />

Gardening<br />

Tips for <strong>April</strong><br />

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate<br />

a great many pests that die from various causes while in the bag.<br />

When you buy ‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you<br />

are also buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more<br />

on bagged material and save lots of future pest problems. Keep<br />

your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes exposed<br />

foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing pests in your<br />

home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections.<br />

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at<br />

least 12” - 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant<br />

free zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception<br />

is your lawn - it can grow up next to the slab as long as you keep<br />

it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most conducive to termite<br />

infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high against your<br />

homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls.<br />

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray<br />

eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to<br />

resist the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The<br />

fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi<br />

from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a<br />

healthy winter’s dormancy.<br />

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop<br />

brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin<br />

and weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a)<br />

lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control.<br />

Most important is proper watering:<br />

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do<br />

not water.)<br />

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage.<br />

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day.<br />

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT.<br />

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper,<br />

stronger and more drought resistant roots.<br />

• Less watering also saves you money!!<br />

IRS TAX DEADLINE<br />

People have until Tuesday, <strong>April</strong> 17, <strong>2018</strong>, to file their 2017 returns and<br />

pay any taxes due. The filing tax deadline is later this year due to several<br />

factors. The usual <strong>April</strong> 15 th deadline falls on Sunday this year, which<br />

would normally give taxpayers until at least the following Monday.<br />

However, Emancipation Day, a Washington, D.C., holiday, is observed<br />

on Monday, <strong>April</strong> 16 th , giving taxpayers nationwide an additional day<br />

to file. By law, Washington holidays impact tax deadlines for everyone in<br />

the same way federal holidays do. Taxpayers requesting an extension will<br />

have until Monday, Oct. 15, <strong>2018</strong>, to file.<br />

The IRS expects more than 70 percent of taxpayers to get tax refunds this<br />

year. Last year, nearly 112 million refunds were issued, with an average<br />

refund of $2,895.<br />
