The Board - which is made up of solely Falcon Ranch homeowners - wants to hear resident concerns, but due to time constraints, open-session discussions must be limited.

The Falcon Ranch Garage Sale date is scheduled for Saturday, October 6th. Please remember that deed restrictions limit garage sales to days approved by the HOA Board. There is no rain date scheduled for this event.
Halloween is upon us and it is an exciting time for children. We want everyone to have a safe and happy evening of trick-or-treating, so here are some guidelines provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics: • A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds. • If your older children are going alone, plan and review the route that is acceptable to you. Agree on a specific time when they should return home. • Only go to homes with a porch light on and never enter a home or car for a treat. • Because pedestrian injuries are the most common injuries to children on Halloween, remind Trick-or Treaters. • Stay in a group and communicate where they will be going. • Carry a cell phone for quick communication. • Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. • If no sidewalk is available, walk at the far edge of the roadway facing traffic. • Never cut across yards or use alleys. • Only cross the street as a group in established crosswalks (as recognized by local custom). Never cross between parked cars or out driveways. • Don’t assume the right of way. Motorists may have trouble seeing Trick-or-Treaters. Just because one car stops, doesn’t mean others will! • Law enforcement authorities should be notified immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity.
Reporting Suspicious Activity
You may have noticed the constables patrolling our neighborhoods, working to keep our community safer for everyone. The appearance of constables has raised a question of what to do if you witness suspicious activity. If you see something happening that is an emergency, please call 911. If you see suspicious activities that are not emergencies, call the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office at 281-341-4665.

spooktakular fast halloween costumes Looking for a cheap, easy, fast, funny costume this Halloween? Try one of these ideas, sure to be a hit when trick-or-treating or at parties. • Dress up as you normally do. If someone asks what you are, tell them you’re a werewolf. If they ask why you have no hair or fangs, explain that it’s not a full moon. • Get a bag of white balloons and a box. Put the box over your head and cut out holes for your arms. Paint the box a bright color and the word “soap” across it. Then tape the bubbles to the top of the box around your shoulders and head. • Tape a bunch of green or purple balloons all over yourself (wear green or brown clothing underneath). Go as a bunch of grapes. • Throw a white sheet over your head and cut a hole for your head to come through. Wear a yellow hat and paint your face yellow with make up. Go as a fried egg. • Get a box and paint it white. Make holes for your head and arms. Paint or draw black spots on it and go as a die. If you have a partner, make two and go as a pair of dice. • Get some yellow yarn and brown pom-poms. Glue them all over an old sweat suit. Put an old colander over your head as a hat. Go as spaghetti and meat balls. • Wear a clown costume top and paint your face. Get a large box and paint it a bright color. Make a hole for your waist and put it on as if the bottom of a skirt. Go as a jack-in-the-box.

Dayna Porter, a junior at Taylor High School, recently earned her Girl Scout Gold Award. Dayna’s project targeted homelessness in Houston and was called Bags for Hope. She and her volunteers sewed 200 small fabric drawstring bags and filled them with water bottles and various toiletry items like soaps, razors, shampoos and lotions that were donated by many friends and several hotels in the community. Once the bags were completed Dayna delivered them to two missions – the Star of Hope Mission and the Open Door Mission, which are both located in Houston. Dayna would like to thank everyone for the many donations that helped make her project possible.

Over the years, Ross Bennett has appeared at the Friar’s Club and on many TV programs including “Evening at the Improv.” Bennett also co-wrote and stars in the very funny play, PASTRAMI ON RYE WITH MAYO, about the last 4 comedians performing in the Catskills. The October 13th performance is open to the entire West Houston / Katy community. Please purchase your tickets early, as seating is limited.

If the call goes unanswered, the computer will call back 3 times at 15-minute intervals. If there is still no answer, the sheriff will dispatch a deputy or the local police.

It is the law in Fort Bend County that all pets must be vaccinated for rabies, registered and restrained. All animals, when outside of an owner’s means of restraint (i.e., in a fenced back yard), must be on a leash. For the safety of all residents, please use all precautions with your pets and keep them on leashes when walking pets in the community EVEN IF YOU FEEL YOUR PET IS HARMLESS. If you see ANY animal roaming freely in the neighborhood, immediately call Animal Control at 281-342-1512. Even if you recognize the animal, be very careful approaching it, as you do not know how it will react; if you can safely retrieve the animal, then call the owner. Otherwise, Animal Control is your best and safest option.

HOLIDAY CUSTOM HOLIDAY DECORATION DESIGN & INSTALLATION Contract Prices to Put-up and Take-down Each Year
Animal control authorities are permitted to enter your Property to patrol and remove pets. Pets must be registered, licensed and inoculated as required by law. As a dog owner, you are responsible for the control of your dog. If your dog is one that ‘makes objectionable noise,’ you must make every effort to respect your Neighbor’s right to their ‘peace and quiet.’ When your dog is not in your yard, it is imperative that you keep your dog on a leash at all times. While your dog is friendly to you and your family, imagine the consequences if it were to harm someone while it was ‘roaming free.’ Please respect other resident’s right to walk the common area ground without fear of attack from an unleashed dog. Laws are written to ensure that owned animals are confined to their property or kept on a leash to free a community of unrestrained and free-roaming animals. Although most dog bites occur on the property where the dog lives, unrestrained or free-roaming dogs do pose a substantial threat to the public. In addition, unrestrained animals are at increased risk of being bitten by rabies infected wildlife. Enforcement of restraint laws is essential in enhancing the animal control program’s efforts to reduce the risk of rabies in our community.

LICENSING OF DOGS AND CATS The primary benefit of licensing animals is identification, should that animal become lost. Licensing also: • Ensures that rabies vaccination are current. • Allows for quick identification in case of a bite incident. • Provides revenue to offset the administration costs of the animal control program. VACCINATION Rabies vaccinations are a prerequisite for licensing dogs and cats because they are an important control measure for the public health threat of rabies. In addition to protecting pets, rabies vaccinations provide a barrier between infected wild animals and humans.

Katy Elks Lodge Members Attend National Convention Austin, Texas was the location of this year’s national Elks convention. As a result of its close proximity to Katy, a larger than normal number of Katy Elks members attended at least a portion of it. Officers and members attending included: Gary Frizzell, ER; Norma Coston, Leading Knight; Bo Williamson, Lecturing Knight; Mary Ellen Hopperdietzel, Esquire; Ron Gall , PER and Trustee and wife Cindy; Bob Boyett, PSP and wife Sandi, Chaplin; Frank McLaurin, PDDGER and wife Cherie; Charles Sprayberry, PDDGER; Charles Conley, Bulletin Editor and wife Dorris, Lodge Sweetheart; Gerry McGill, Lodge Bar Manager and wife Susan, Secretary. Opening ceremonies included the ever impressive “Parade of State Flags” and introduction of State Presidents as well as a Memorial Service in honor of deceased Elks members. Business of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) was conducted in several business sessions and individual sessions in several areas

were provided including Public Relations, Youth Activities and ENF. A new national president was elected and installed in addition to several other officers. National Ritual Competition provided the opportunity to compare teams from all over the country and root for your favorite one. The winner this year was from Carlsbad, New Mexico. Representing Texas was Houston lodge #151.

Texas is noted for its Hospitality Room, but this year was even bigger and better than ever. Highlights of the food served included Bob Boyett’s delicious special recipe chile to accompany Texas tamales and brisket to rival any of the barbeque available in the Austin area, cooked in advance by Van Poorman of the Katy Lodge. Texas boasted its special crew of “cowboy” greeters from the Panwest District (North West Texas area) that added a special Texas flair and flavor to already obvious “true Texas hospitality.” Each state provides a hospitality room, which keeps everyone busy outside of business time. Getting to meet and visit with other Elks from so many parts of our nation is exciting and rewarding. Many have state and local lodge pins to trade, which leaves you with a reminder of special times spent with special people.
