FRIENDLY REMINDER:<br />

KEEP OUR LAKES CLEAN! Please help us keep our community beautiful by<br />

NOT THROWING trash and debris into the lakes. In addition, there is NO<br />

SWIMMING, BOATING OR FISHING in the LAKES.<br />

PLEASE BE OBSERVANT OF POSTED TRAFFIC<br />

SIGNS, SPEED AND GATES<br />

Please respect the posted traffic speeds and stop signs in our community.<br />

They are here to make our community a safe and pleasant place to live.<br />

With the pleasant weather, our children are out enjoying our amenities.<br />

Use extra caution when driving near our parks and community pools.<br />

Please also use the correct side of the gates for entry and exit.<br />

PLEASE DO NOT FEED 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<br />

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

environmentally responsible and humane way to dispose of old or stale<br />

bread. However, feeding ducks and geese is actually unhealthy and<br />

potentially dangerous for the birds. This seemingly generous act, in fact,<br />

can be extremely 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 additional<br />

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 />

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

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

present). While the officers do their best to handle most situations,<br />

sometimes Police assistance is necessary to properly handle the<br />

situation. The Roving Patrol Officers are not Law Enforcement and do not<br />

have the 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. There are times<br />

were the officers are called in situations where the Police/Fire/EMS needs<br />

to be the primary responders and called first. Some of these types of<br />

situations are as follows: • Speeding vehicles/reckless driving • Crimes<br />

that are potentially violent in nature • Domestic disturbances • Fire, flood<br />

or blood • Vehicle accidents • 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.<br />

Vacation Watch: When the residents leave for vacation, they can fill out<br />

the form and as part of their normal duties, the Constables will drive by<br />

and check on their residence. www.constablepct5.com/vacation-watch<br />

Special Watch: If there is something going on around the resident’s<br />

house and they want the Constables to keep an extra eye out or want<br />

a little extra patrol, they can fill this form out and we can take care of it.<br />

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

Online crime tips: If there is a crime tip that you have, you can fill this<br />

out and the Constable’s office will look into it. www.constablepct5.com/<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 />

BOARD APPROVES BOUNDARY<br />

CHANGES FOR <strong>2020</strong>-2021<br />

The CFISD Board of Trustees approved the administration’s<br />

recommendation for the establishment of attendance boundaries for<br />

Rowe Middle School and rezoning modifications of multiple campus<br />

attendance boundaries effective for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year during<br />

the regularly scheduled meeting on December 16 th .<br />

The approved boundary plan provides enrollment relief for Thornton and<br />

Anthony middle schools for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year. Other impacted<br />

campuses are Hopper and Kahla middle schools, Cypress Park and<br />

Cypress Springs high schools and Hemmenway, Walker, Wilson and Tipps<br />

elementary schools.<br />

The boundary proposal allows Rowe Middle School, which will open<br />

in August <strong>2020</strong>, to open with sixth, seventh and eighth grades. The<br />

proposal aligns feeder patterns while amending boundary lines for new<br />

developments.<br />

Per CFISD boundary transfer policies:<br />

• Any middle school student affected by this boundary change who will<br />

be in eighth grade for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year may remain at their<br />

current middle school on a student transfer if their parents provide<br />

transportation. This opportunity will not be available for younger siblings;<br />

• Students who are affected by a high school boundary change who will<br />

have an older sibling in 10 th , 11 th or 12 th grades attending the affected<br />

high school may choose to transfer to their original high school rather<br />

than attend the high school designated by the rezoning. The sibling<br />

transfer will remain eligible for UIL varsity participation and they will be<br />

allowed to remain until graduation and<br />

• Any elementary school student affected by this boundary change who<br />

will be in fifth grade for the <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year may remain at their<br />

leading the Los Angeles Sparks to the WNBA<br />

championship, while Chiney is a two-time allstar<br />

who joined Sparks in 2019 after starting her<br />

career with the Connecticut Sun.<br />

The two are influential off the court. They serve<br />

in leadership positions for the WNBA Players<br />

Association, with Nneka elected president in<br />

2016. Chiney is a full-time basketball analyst<br />

with ESPN. Both have partnered with the U.S.<br />

Fund for UNICEF to support efforts in Nigeria.<br />

A hospitality room was set up before the game,<br />

where the sisters spent time with friends<br />

and family. Culinary students prepared two<br />

personalized cakes and cookies. A slideshow and<br />

other memorabilia across the room highlighted<br />

the Ogwumikes’ time with the Bobcats.<br />

Cy-Fair High School graduates and former basketball standouts Nneka,<br />

left and Chiney Ogwumike, right, are joined with their family.<br />

CY-FAIR HS RETIRES NUMBERS OF BOBCATS<br />

LEGENDS, OGWUMIKE SISTERS<br />

By Samantha Blocker, Cy-Fair HS<br />

Cy-Fair High School graduates and former girls’ basketball standouts<br />

Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike returned to their alma mater on December<br />

13 th , as the program celebrated the two and officially retired their jerseys<br />

before the varsity got the best of one of its rivals.<br />

Before the varsity team took the floor against Cypress Falls High School,<br />

the program and supporters welcomed the Ogwumike sisters and their<br />

family to the court, gifting them framed replica jerseys before all in<br />

attendance were asked to look up to the rafters to see Nneka’s No. 30 and<br />

Chiney’s No. 13 jerseys.<br />

The sisters join another former Cy-Fair basketball great, Lindsey Harding,<br />

whose No. 12 jersey was retired in 2007. The 2002 Cy-Fair graduate<br />

starred at Duke University before becoming the WNBA’s No. 1 overall pick<br />

in 2007. She is currently an assistant coach for player development for the<br />

Sacramento Kings.<br />

“It means the world to me to have my jersey retired back at Cy-Fair<br />

because Cy-Fair is where I became confident in who I was and who I<br />

could be in this world,” Chiney Ogwumike said. “Cy-Fair basketball sets a<br />

high standard for excellence and it is an honor to be a part of its legacy<br />

alongside my sister.”<br />

Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike both played collegiately at Stanford<br />

University, posting a combined 203-19 record across six seasons to go<br />

along with five Final Four appearances. Both were No. 1 overall picks in<br />

the WNBA (2012 and 2014). Nneka was the league’s MVP in 2016 while<br />

That run included four consecutive trips to the<br />

UIL Basketball State Championships (2007-2010) and Class 5A titles in<br />

2008 and 2010. Nneka also led the Bobcats to the UIL state semifinals in<br />

volleyball in 2007.<br />

Each sister was named the Gatorade National Girls Basketball Athlete of<br />

the Year after winning at the state level and Player of the Year by Parade<br />

magazine’s annual All-America team. Nneka was named MaxPreps.com’s<br />

first-ever Girls National Athlete of the Year in 2008, with Chiney earning<br />

the same distinction two years later.<br />

During the pregame ceremony, Head Basketball Coach Anne Roubique<br />

thanked the entire Ogwumike family for their continued contributions<br />

to CFISD and Cy-Fair High School. Before taking the microphone, Nneka<br />

and Chiney spotted even more former teammates among the many<br />

supporters and fans who packed the stands, many in white t-shirts with<br />

a maroon paw print on the front and the retired jersey numbers on the<br />

back.<br />

“Cy-Fair is all about the people and those who made a mark during my<br />

high school tenure [who] still are a big part of my life today,” Chiney<br />

Ogwumike said.<br />

Along with a framed replica jersey, each was presented with a trophy<br />

and 2019-<strong>2020</strong> season ‘Hoop Squad’ shirt. Both sisters then joined the<br />

current varsity team in a pregame chant before taking photos, signing<br />

autographs and cheering on the Bobcats. They served as judges during<br />

a halftime competition among the baseball and softball players and a<br />

raffle was held for a chance to win an autographed shoe. Cy-Fair ended<br />

the night off with a 76-39 victory.<br />

“I’m not sure I can put into words how blessed I feel for this to be<br />

happening,” Nneka Ogwumike said. “Cy-Fair was a legacy before<br />

we attended and I am simply grateful to have been a part of<br />

history.”<br />

Lighter Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo<br />

Ingredients:<br />

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts<br />

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth<br />

4 cloves garlic, minced<br />

ground black pepper to taste<br />

2 cups heavy cream<br />

2 egg yolks<br />

salt to taste<br />

1 pound fettuccine<br />

1 sprig chopped fresh parsley<br />

2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided<br />

Directions: Combine chicken breasts and chicken broth in a saucepan<br />

over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low;<br />

simmer for 5 minutes. Turn breasts, cover and simmer another 5 minutes.<br />

Remove from heat and let sit with the cover on for 15 minutes.<br />

Remove chicken breasts from the broth and set aside to cool, reserving<br />

the broth in the saucepan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle,<br />

cut into bite-size slices. Return the chicken broth to medium heat and<br />

cook until reduced to 1 cup. Stir garlic, black pepper and heavy cream<br />

into the reduced broth; bring to a simmer and remove from heat.<br />

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Beat 1 tablespoon of the warm<br />

cream mixture into the eggs until thoroughly incorporated; repeat until<br />

about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture is used. Whisk the warm cream<br />

and egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream<br />

mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the<br />

mixture almost comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes. Season<br />

with salt and black pepper to taste.<br />

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine in<br />

boiling water, stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about<br />

7 minutes. Drain.<br />

Stir parsley, 1 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cream mixture into the<br />

pasta. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for a few minutes until thick.<br />

Fold chicken and 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano into the pasta mixture to<br />

serve.<br />
