COVID-19 UPDATE
By the time you are reading this newsletter, hopefully, life will be well on the way towards a return to some level of normalcy howbeit with many
changes to what was considered normal just a few short months ago. The big change is that our pool will be open for business, although at a limited
capacity and with additional rules, procedures and staffing (all requiring increased costs!)
The new awnings that will installed over the playground structure and swing set are on order from Adventure Playground Systems and we expect
them to be in place before the end of this month. The playground and basketball court will have to be closed for a few days while construction is in
progress and for safety reasons your cooperation is requested in staying clear of the area until it is placed back in service.
At the time of “going to press” of this newsletter the annual meeting of members which will include the election of new directors is still to be scheduled.
This meeting will be held when the restriction on the number of permitted attendees at meetings has been relaxed. This does present an extended
opportunity for anyone who would like to serve as a director to “throw their hat in the ring.” To do so please contact Cindy at Crest.
Let’s all hope that this month proves to be a turning point in this very unusual year and that in the remainder of 2020 we are able to get our lives back
on track and put the nightmare of the last few months behind us. Good luck to everyone in staying safe!
JUNE YARD-OF-THE-MONTH
The Yard of the Month Award for June 2020 is being awarded to Dale and Jerrie St. Amant of 1719 Calveryman.
The St. Amants have lived in the Settlement for 32 years. Married for 45 years, they have 3 grown children and 4 grandchildren. Dale graduated from
LSU and Jerrie from USL. Both are from South Louisiana and are big LSU fans!
Dale retired 2 years ago from the IT Department of CenterPoint Energy. Jerrie retired from professional sales in the pharmaceutical and advertising
industries.
Dale loves working out at the gym; however, due to the virus quarantine, he and Jerrie find themselves spending more time working in their gardens.
They are avid bird watchers and their large backyard has several feeders and birdbaths. It is landscaped to attract birds, butterflies and hummingbirds.
For years, Jerrie has nurtured special habitats for butterflies and hummingbirds there.
Dale and Jerrie enjoy gatherings of family and friends, reminiscing and laughing over funny family stories. They also enjoy nature walks, Bible study
fellowship, Florida beach vacations and cooking creative healthy meals as well as Cajun indulgences!
They say that the Settlement being a well-established neighborhood with a great reputation, friendly neighbors, quality custom homes, large yards
and trees and the fact that the elementary school is in the same neighborhood, makes living here so enjoyable compared to many newer communities.
Having a corner lot led Dale and Jerrie to design a meandering flowing style border anchored by two Shumard Red Oaks and a Drummond Red Maple.
Scarlett’s Peak Holly are the columnar plants accenting the architecture of the house with other plants including Dwarf Drift Roses, Knock Out Roses,
two Texas Mountain Laurels as specimen trees, Wood Ferns everywhere and a touch of Lantana to attract butterflies.
Congratulations on being our recipient for Yard of the Month June 2020. Thank you both for your many years for caring and contributing to the beauty
of our great neighborhood. It is appreciated.

On the following page enter the details of the light(s) with the problem.
Just as you would if reporting the outage via the telephone, you will need
to provide the street address where the light is located and the 6-digit

Anyone noticing a streetlight that is out or has some other malfunction is
encouraged to report the problem to CenterPoint via either of these two
methods without delay. Our Association is charged for every streetlight
each month, irrespective of whether or not the light is functioning. So
please help us get value for your hard earned money!

PET ID TAGS
Folks - as soon as the vet gives your young pets their Rabies shot remember
to get their ID tags. The Rabies tag lists the name, phone number and
address of the vet. So! All you need to do is put the Rabies tag onto the pet’s
collar and leave it there all the time. That way, if the pet gets loose, anyone
finding him or her can look at the tag to see the vet’s phone number and
call to report the lost animal. Better yet, add another tag to your pet’s collar
that lists the dog or cat’s name and your own phone number or address.
You can get these from any pet store. When a pet has these but goes astray,
anyone finding it can call you and you can go get him or her right away.
Your pet will be very glad to see you! A happy pet is a loving pet.
VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH LEASH LAW
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents.
While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone
who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of
animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting
hurt trying to avoid the animal.
Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County Animal Control)
advises that, “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the
unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or
cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat or
to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”
Restraint is defined as the control of a dog or cat under the following
circumstances:
1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more then six (6) feet in
length, if the line or leash is held by a human being who is capable of
controlling or governing the dog or cat in question.
2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle.
3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not
have access to sidewalk to street.
While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work
or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained.
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all
our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect
anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet
owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing
to properly restrain their pet.

PET SAFETY IN THE SUMMER
Every summer, veterinary clinics can set calendars by the number of
heat related emergencies seen. The variety of symptoms runs from
dehydration, to heat exhaustion to shock to even death. In many areas
of the country, temperatures reach the hundred-degree mark on a daily
basis and heat stroke is a common occurrence. Regular as clockwork,
dogs are brought in because the owner was going to run into the store for
just a minute, got to talking to someone and thirty minutes or more pass.
In just minutes, a closed car can reach temps of 120-140 F. A common
misconception is that a cracked window is going to make a difference.
Take the test yourself. Let the dog out of the car, roll down the window
2 inches and YOU set in there for 30 or so minutes with the engine off.
Always remember, you have the option of getting out, your dog doesn’t.
Another common problem seen with dogs in the summer, are the
owners that like to let their dogs ride in the back of a truck. The number of
instances where dogs have fallen out or been dragged behind a vehicle
are staggering. If the results of falling out at 70 MPH weren’t enough, get
a piece of sheet metal, set it out in the yard on a hot, sunshiny day and lay
on it for several hours. Rolling every once in a while to get the full effect
of course. Burns to skin and the pads of feet are very common in dogs left
to ride shotgun. Animals tied up to trees, trailers and posts are also high
risk. In this scenario, dogs are not the only ones at risk. Owners often tie
up horses, goats, lambs, ponies and all types of livestock never making
sure that there is nothing the pet can get tangled up on. Never realizing,
tangled ropes or chains make it impossible to reach shade or water.
The natural tendencies of cats are to be self-sufficient. As long as they
have shade and a fresh water supply, they can take care of themselves.
It is when owners want to take them places or try to put them in cages
outside, problems occur. There are many who will scoff at the idea of
having cats in cages, don’t, it happens. Make sure if your pet is outside in
the summer heat that there is plenty of shade and water!
We are here for you in these uncertain times.

KATY ISD APPOINTS TWO NEW PRINCIPALS
FOR 2020-21 ACADEMIC YEAR
During tonight’s Katy Independent School District Board of Trustees
meeting, Trustees confirmed the appointment of two new leaders for
Shafer and Bear Creek elementary schools. Stephanie McElroy has been
named the principal of Bear Creek Elementary and Shannon Smith was
announced as the new principal for Shafer Elementary. Both individuals
will begin their new leadership roles in the upcoming weeks.
Ms. Stephanie McElroy began
her teaching career in Katy
ISD in 1998 as a fifth grade
teacher where she taught
Reading. In 2006, Ms. McElroy
made a career move to Sealy
Independent School District to
become a high school assistant
principal at Selman Intermediate
School. Shortly afterwards, her
leadership skills and love for
education lead her to become
the principal at that same school.
In 2009, Ms. McElroy continued
her administrative duties, this
time as the Associate Principal of
Curriculum and Development for
Fort Bend Independent School
District at Sartartia Middle
School. She remained there until
2015. At that time, she became the principal at Navarro Middle
School in the Lamar Consolidated School District. Ms. McElroy
received her Bachelor’s Degree from Sam Houston State University
and her Master’s Degree from University of Houston in Clear Lake.
Ms. Shannon Smith began her
teaching career at Berry Middle
School in 2005 in Mesquite,
Texas. In 2009, she became the
Testing Coordinator at the same
campus. A year later, Smith was
named the Assistant Principal
at Sherman High School in
Sherman, Texas. She remained
in that position until 2012, when
she relocated to the Cypress
Fairbanks Independent School
District, where she returned
to teaching. In 2015, Smith
joined Katy ISD to take on the
role of Assistant Principal at
Exley Elementary. Three years
later, Smith joined the Taylor
Mustangs as their assistant principal. Ms. Smith received her Bachelor’s
degree from Texas Tech University and her Master’s Degree from Texas
A&M Commerce.

KATY ISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES TEACHER GRANT RECIPIENTS -
MILESTONE $2 MILLION GIVEN IN EIGHT YEARS WITH $348,087 AWARDED THIS YEAR
The Katy ISD Education Foundation recently announced its eighth year of Inspiring Imagination teacher grant recipients. Thanks to the faithful giving
of its investors and broad-based community support, the Foundation kept its promise to a record number of teacher grant applicants. More than 350
Katy ISD teachers at 44 different campuses were awarded teacher grants this year. Grant activities range from fine motor skill equipment to swine
lungs and medical mannequins and extend to all subjects and grade levels. Funding will be provided for the 2020-2021 school year.
The Foundation exists to raise support for and manage its Inspiring Imagination teacher grant program, an initiative that funds innovative
classroom instruction not possible within the parameters of a school district budget. Grant funds are raised through annual pledges from business
and community investors, one-time contributions and Foundation-hosted events: Fireflies & Foodtrucks, GROOVE and Reason2Race. The Katy ISD
Education Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) organization for which donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. To learn more,
contact foundation@katyisd.org, 281-396-6031 or visit www.katyisdeducationfoundation.org.
KATY ISD HONORS 2019-2020 VOLUNTEERS - DRUM ROLL PLEASE...
Katy ISD’s Volunteers in Public Schools initiative is continuing the tradition of honoring thousands of school district volunteers who donate their time
supporting Katy ISD students and teachers. “Our giant volunteer family helps make Katy ISD exceptional by providing additional support to staff and
faculty so teachers can spend their time teaching! It is our joy to celebrate the impact volunteers bring and have brought for years,” said Janet Theis,
Katy ISD Executive Director of Community Partnerships. This year, as a thank you to all Katy ISD volunteers, the district’s Partners in Education team is
virtually presenting its annual VIPS Celebration event finale featuring exceptionally talented Katy ISD drum line students. Katy ISD salutes its army of
incredible volunteers. Because of you, the beat goes on. District-wide drum line entertainment was provided by Katy ISD student percussionists from
every high school, led by Seven Lakes High School Assistant Band Director, Mr. Allen Vinson.
Volunteers in Public Schools, a Katy ISD Partners in Education program, offers moms, dads, family and community members a wide variety of volunteer
opportunities at their chosen campus. To learn more, visit Partners in Education under the “Community” tab at www.katyisd.org or contact your campus
Volunteer Coordinator.

NATIONAL CELL PHONE COURTESY MONTH
National Cell Phone Courtesy Month during July encourages us to
evaluate our cellular habits and consider others before we reach for
our phone. Our phones have become an integral part of our lives. We
schedule events organize shopping lists order birthday presents and
communicate all from this one, small device. Do we even make a phone
call any more?
Phone courtesy has always been in fashion, but when they became
smart, it seems we lost a few brain cells. National Cell Phone Courtesy
Month strives to bring polite phone usage back in style.
DOS AND DON’TS
Silent the phone whenever you’re spending time with anyone. That
includes work, a meal, meeting or with family. If you are attending a
performance of any kind, turn the phone off. There are exceptions to this
rule for medical professionals or other expectant emergency situations.
Hidden phones are forgotten phones. We pay attention to the people
in the room, the performance or the meeting. It’s also a signal to the
people we are with that they are important to us.
Step away if you do need to take a call. No one needs to hear your
conversation while trying to enjoy a meal for two.
Shhh. Monitor the volume of your voice. Even when you step away,
voices carry.
Pause before sending emails, texts or social media posts. Consider
the content, especially if it is posted in haste. Ask yourself the following
questions. Sometimes just the need to ask will be all the answer you need
before deleting the comment or text: Will I regret sending this later? Am I
angry? Will this hurt someone? Is this appropriate? Will this affect my job
or relationship?
Don’t use your phone and drive. Many states prohibit cellular use or
limit it to hands-free only. Any message can wait until you arrive at your
destination. If it truly is urgent, pull to a safe stopping area to receive the
message or call.
Don’t let your mobile device become a social hindrance. We often
look to our phone for social engagement when we don’t know what else
to do. Meet new people when you are in a new circle of people and begin
networking with the people near you. Expand your social circle face to
face and broaden the world around you.
Our phones are tools. They shouldn’t replace every social context
in our lives. Practice a little courtesy and gain improved relationships
everywhere you go. Encourage your friends and families to join you
throughout the month.

NATIONAL WATERPARK DAY
On July 28 th , laughter and fun are just a couple of
the requirements on National Waterpark Day! We
recommend bathing suits, too!
Waterparks around the world provide thrilling,
water plunging rides for those who seek the whiteknuckle
hydro powered slides. For those who prefer
to relax and unwind, lazy rivers, wave pools and
spas in tropical scenes satisfy these vacationers.
With so many options to choose from, waterparks
can be more than just a portion of a vacation. They
can be the destination. In the United States, nearly
every state has a waterpark. The Wisconsin Dells is
the Waterpark Capital of the World and the largest
indoor park in America is currently at Kalahari
Resorts and Conventions in the Pocono Mountains,
Pennsylvania.
From the youngest family member to grandma and
grandpa, there’s a splashable, relaxable experience
for all. On National Waterpark Day, enjoy all the
memory making waterparks have to offer!
Don’t wait! The water is perfect at a waterpark near
you. Grab your bathing suit and make a splash!
When it needs more than a band-aid,
Urgent Care vs. Emergency Room?
Did you know a visit to the ER can cost as much as five times
more than a visit to Excel Urgent Care, for the same problem?
