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 />

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 />

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

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 />
