Please Do Not Feed 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.Bread and similar products such as crackers, chips, doughnuts<br />

and 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 />

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. Because<br />

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

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

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

of 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, dog walking, golf cart/ATV’s not being<br />

used to play golf, skateboarding and skating on the cart paths is<br />

strictly prohibited anywhere on the golf course because of safety<br />

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

ROVING PATROL<br />

Attention <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>Gate</strong> Residents, As a friendly reminder, please be advised<br />

that the Association has changed to a NEW service provider for the <strong>Gate</strong><br />

Attendant and Roving Patrol services for the community. Effective today,<br />

the NEW service provider is Priority Protection & Investigations (PPI). We<br />

are excited to partner with Professional Protection and Investigations<br />

(PPI) and look forward to improving the level of services provided to<br />

the community. Please see the below summary for the Roving Patrol<br />

services that are provided and other helpful information; Roving Patrol:<br />

The primary function of a Roving Patrol service is to assist with crime<br />

deterrence by staying highly visible while conducting routine patrols<br />

throughout the community to observe and report suspicious activity to<br />

the local authorities and/or association.<br />

The Patrol Officers also assist with service calls within the community.<br />

Some of the typical calls received are as follows:<br />

• Noise disturbances • Suspicious persons, vehicles or activities<br />

• Welfare checks • Property Damage • Solicitors in gated communities<br />

• Courtesy checks of your home (only if there are not any signs of forced<br />

entry present)<br />

While the officers do their best to handle most situations, sometimes<br />

Police assistance is necessary to properly handle the situation. The<br />

Roving Patrol Officers are not Law Enforcement and do not have the<br />

authority to arrest or detain unless, in the rare occasion, they are<br />

conducting a citizen’s arrest. This means that if the Roving Patrol Officers<br />

are called out to investigate a suspicious person and make contact with<br />

the individual, they cannot hold them for questioning if the subject fails<br />

to comply with the request to identify themselves and/or state their<br />

business. At that point the Officers will contact the Police for assistance<br />

if it is necessary. If the subject flees from the Patrol Officer, they are not<br />

permitted to give chase whether on foot or in a vehicle.<br />

There are times were the officers are called in situations where the Police/<br />

Fire/EMS needs to be the primary responders and called first. Some of<br />

these types of situations are as follows:<br />

• Speeding vehicles/reckless driving<br />

• Crimes that are potentially violent in nature<br />

• Domestic disturbances<br />

• Fire, flood or blood<br />

• Vehicle accidents<br />

• Medical emergencies<br />

The Roving Patrol Officers may be called by residents for any of the<br />

situations listed above, but it is important that the local authorities are<br />

contacted first to ensure the proper response to the situation has been<br />

provided. The Roving Patrol Officers may then take direction from these<br />

authorities and respond accordingly in correlation with policy for the<br />

current situation at hand.<br />

Crime Prevention Tips and Links<br />

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

suspicious, please call the Constables right away. Even if it turns out to be<br />

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

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

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

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

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. 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 />

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

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

Cypress Ranch student surprised with<br />

KPRC Senior Scholarship<br />

Cypress Ranch High School senior Nishat Nabi was one of the Houston-area high<br />

school students selected to receive a KPRC Senior Scholarship, sponsored by<br />

Texas Mattress Makers. Throughout the spring semester, KPRC representatives<br />

traveled to various high schools in greater Houston to surprise students with $2,500<br />

scholarships to a college of their choice. Morning anchor Owen Conflenti surprised<br />

Nabi during the senior’s calculus class and presented her with a scholarship<br />

March 29 th . The giveaway aired during the KPRC morning news on April 3 rd . Nabi<br />

was nominated by the Cypress Ranch counseling team’s scholarship committee<br />

featuring Coordinating Counselor Dede Cash, Counselor Lindsey Housson and<br />

College and Career Specialist Kimberly Marks. “She has faced a lot of adversity in<br />

her life and she’s overcome that adversity and showed leadership,” Cash said of<br />

Habi. “So not only did she overcome it but she came out on top. She challenges<br />

herself, she dedicates herself and she volunteers herself. She’s the whole package. Everything that she does is what we would want Cy-Ranch to<br />

be represented by.” Nabi and her family moved to the United States from Bangladesh, where she made the adjustment to making new friends after<br />

leaving many behind. She spends countless hours volunteering through her involvement with National Honor Society, Student Council and Key<br />

Club at Cypress Ranch. Nabi also serves as a mentor to younger students.Nabi, who plans to study economics in college, is the second KPRC Senior<br />

Scholarship CFISD winner this year.<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. Our first tournament raised $3,500<br />

and over the past 30 years the B. F. Adam Golf Classic has successfully<br />

raised almost $3.5M.<br />

CFEF was established in 1970 as a non-profit to raise money to fund<br />

scholarships for high school graduates. Through the generosity of the<br />

Cy-Fair community and commitment from the Board of Trustees, the<br />

Foundation has grown tremendously with scholarship awards totaling<br />

more than $8.5M to graduating seniors from Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. CFEF<br />

is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, all contributions are tax deductible,<br />

as allowed by the law.<br />

that.” Cost of VBS is $30. Scholarships are available for families in-need.<br />

some of the wish list items from their organization and<br />

a case of Girl Scout cookies for the hard workers and<br />

volunteers! In February our community celebrated World<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - 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 />

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 />

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

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

HOA, Peace Community Church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church<br />

and Thornton Middle School.<br />

Warm weather means our gardens and landscapes are growing fast.<br />

Here are some tasks to keep your landscape beautiful and productive:<br />

Flowers: Time to plant summer blooming perennials and annuals<br />

including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane, lobularia,<br />

sunflowers, yellow bells, pride of Barbados, duranta and bat-faced<br />

cuphea.<br />

Vegetables: <strong>May</strong> is a great time to plant, from seed or nursery plants,<br />

okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter squash, pumpkins, basil,<br />

peppers, lima beans, eggplant, garlic chives and Malabar greens. If<br />

you don’t want to dedicate an area of your yard, consider planting<br />

here and there in your flowerbeds. Edible landscaping is a popular<br />

new trend!<br />

Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge or straight<br />

sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know how long<br />

to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”.<br />

Weeding: Hand pull or hoe weeds while they are still young or better<br />

yet, maintain a 3” layer of mulch in all vegetable and flowerbeds to<br />

deter weeds from getting a start.<br />

Pruning: Remove spent blooms on spring and summer annuals to<br />

promote new blooms.<br />

Fertilizing: Fertilize flowerbeds and vegetable gardens w/slow release<br />

organic fertilizer.<br />

Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent<br />

light sprinkling.<br />

Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-<strong>May</strong>. Clean bird feeders!<br />

Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito breeding<br />

spots.<br />
