FIrEwOrks The HOA would like to limit fireworks by only allowing them until midnight (12 Am) on July 4th. There are many people with small children in the community and late-night fireworks can be very disturbing. We also get reports of fireworks debris being found in yards and on roofs, as well as the park. Residents who shoot fireworks off (or allow their kids to shoot them) must be sure to CLEAN UP THE mESS afterwards (this includes parking lots, such as at the park or the Rec Center). We find many residents simply leave the mess for their neighbors (or the HOA) to clean up. Please note: we will be citing residents who have debris left in front of their home afterward.
SECURITy OFFICERS many of you may have noticed that we have had some personnel changes at the front gate. For those residents who continue to enter the community via the visitor’s lane, please do not get upset if one of the new officers does not recognize you and asks for ID; they are simply doing their job. If you do not use the EZ tag lane for entry, be prepared to show your ID when you enter. Alternatively, resident stickers can be obtained from the office to help minimize the time spent at the entry.

As many of you may have noticed, the Board of Directors is cracking down on overnight parking in the community and stickering vehicles that are parked in violation. There are a multitude of reasons for minimizing street parking. Our streets are simply not wide enough to accommodate cars parking along both sides. Street parking can make it difficult for neighbors to pull in and out of their driveway. It also impacts police patrols as it hampers their view down the street. Cars parked on the street are also more likely to be a target of thieves. most importantly, multiple vehicles parked in the street can slow down emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances - every second counts in an emergency and if the streets are clogged with parked vehicles, it makes navigating in the community difficult.

While the board understands that many homes have multiple vehicles with kids home from school, etc., they are requesting that each homeowner make an effort to minimize street parking. Garages are meant to be used to house vehicles - not store junk. If yours is too full for any vehicles to be parked, perhaps it is time to consider a storage unit. Please make every effort to keep your vehicles off the street.

Street parking is a matter in which the board handles directly (the management office is unable to enforce the regulation due to the times involved); if you wish to discuss it with someone, please call any of the board members listed inside the back page of this newsletter.

Please note that the Clubhouse must be rented in order to have use of the pool for a party. Should a homeowner wish to utilize the pool during a Clubhouse Rental, be aware that the pool will not be closed down for private parties if it is during normal pool hours. Additionally, extra lifeguards must be hired (via the lifeguard company) and paid for separately from the Clubhouse Rental. Please contact Sweetwater Pools or the onsite office for more details. There is a limit of four guests per resident at the pool, so please be sure not to bring more than that number.

Homeowners need to be aware that Texas is home to many snakes, including venomous and non-venomous varieties. With the natural areas surrounding the community, Canyon Gate is especially prone to snakes, especially the park in the back of the community. Please be vigilant when in grassy areas that snakes may hide. If you should see a snake, please do not approach it - they will not normally attack or bite unless provoked. We have also received reports of alligators in the bayous nearby. Please use caution when walking the bayous - and be sure your dogs are careful as well. N

HARRIS COUNTY TOLL TAGS Please call the onsite office (281-492-6020) or email us to register your Harris County toll tag (phardilek@ccbpropertymanagement. com). The following information is required: Name, Address, Vehicle Make & Model and Old and New EZ Tag Numbers. Please do not give tag information to the guards - they do not have access to the gate computer. PLEASE REMEMBER to have your old tag number available when you are registering a new tag, so we can remove it from the system. The sticker-type EZ tags can be programmed into the system. However, the signal is not as powerful as that of the battery-powered tags. Please approach the gate slowly and stay as close to the left median as possible (that is where the reader is located); the new tags can’t be read by the system until you are very close to the gate.
REMINDER ABOUT PARKING REGULATIONS The Association would like to remind everyone that there is NO CURBSIDE PARKING between the hours of 11:00 PM - 9:00 AM. VEHICLES IN VIOLATION WILL BE STICKERED. If vehicles are found repeatedly in violation, they will be towed at the owner’s expense. These parking regulations were put in to place to alleviate the difficulty school buses were having navigating the neighborhood and to allow a time for problem-free residential access for emergency vehicles. Safety issues relating to morning work traffic and children going to school, garbage trucks, bike lanes and homeowner complaints about blocked driveways were also concerns. Please remember that angle or perpendicular parking is against deed restrictions. It is also a violation of local ordinance. Please remember that the front and back wheels of a vehicle must be parallel and within 18 inches of the curb. Angle or perpendicular parking may prohibit police, fire or any other emergency personnel from ingress or egress. Violators will have their vehicles stickered and if necessary, towed, if the vehicle is repeatedly found in violation. There is NO PARKING anytime in bicycle lanes. Exceptions to the street parking policy are made only to out of town guests with PRIOR NOTICE given to the office at 281-492-6020. Be sure to give your name and home address, the year, make, model and license plate number of the car, as well as the specific dates that car will be parked in the street.

Fitness centeR/RecReation centeR loBBy Anyone under the age of 18 is not allowed in the fitness center unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. The recreation center lobby is not to be used as a gathering place for kids to socialize. The Association is asking for all homeowners who use these facilities to help with watching over these areas.

eZ taGs FoR FRont Gate access The Homeowners’ Association sells EZ tags that will open the resident gate at the Canyon Gate entrance. Residents may purchase these at the onsite office for $35. These EZ tags contain a battery that should last for, approximately, 3 years. The HOA offers a one-year warranty on these tags. If the battery goes bad and your EZ tag stops working within the first year, the tag will be replaced at no cost. If your EZ tag stops working after the one-year time limit, a new EZ tag will need to be purchased.

The recreation center has a room available for parties, meeting, reunions, etc. A signed contract plus a $300 security deposit will hold your reservation. Homeowners must be current on their dues (or payment plans) and rental fees must be received prior to the party. The rental rate is $35 an hour with a two-hour minimum. The key for the clubhouse is to be signed out and returned to the guards in the guardhouse. Please READ THE CONTRACT CAREFULLY before signing - this is a binding legal document and the rules and regulations stipulated in the contract will be enforced. Call the onsite office for additional information. Remember to bring your trash home with you after a party - the clubhouse trashcans are being filled to overflowing regularly. Fines will start being assessed if the Rec Center trashcans are filled up with party debris.

But if you start a sensible lawn-care program now, you can strengthen your turf going into summer, help it stay greener and give it a better chance against the ravages of insects and disease.

GRILLING SEASONAL VEGETABLES By Paula Deen Test Kitchen Grilling fresh seasonal vegetables is a not only a healthy way to prepare them, it’s also a snap! Why dirty up another bowl, pan or dish after a long day? Not to mention the ease and speediness in which dinner is ready and the cost effectiveness of grilling a side dish. The exclamation points are the appealingly sweet smoky flavor that a grill imparts and the bright colors left behind. with a couple of recipe ideas. We hope the next time you have a chance to pick vegetables fresh from the garden or your local farmers market you use these tips and cook them on the grill. Vegetable Grilling Tips: ** Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray prior to heating the grill to help make clean up a snap. place your hand over the grill. If you can hold it there for 4 seconds, the fire is medium hot. **Prevent your vegetables from drying out on the grill by soaking them in cold water first. **Vegetables should be cut to expose the most surface area to the grill. This helps them to cook quickly. Also, cut the pieces equal eggplant into strips, not rounds, of the same width.

**Use kosher salt or sea salt on your vegetables to bring out extra moisture. Seasoning with salt and pepper both before and after grilling helps to make them sweet and full of flavor. **Someone in the family doesn’t like grilled vegetables? Try this trick. Sprinkle a little sugar on the vegetables half way through the cooking. This gives them a wonderful caramel flavor.

**Smaller vegetables such as cherry tomatoes (we’ll just pretend and call this a vegetable) and small mushrooms might fall through the grill and should be skewered first. Thick onion slices should also be skewered all the way through to keep them whole while grilling. I like to use metal skewers instead of bamboo since they don’t burn and I can reuse them.

**Because vegetables lack fat, they need oil or some sort of liquid marinade to prevent them from burning and sticking to the grill. Brush them with a vegetable oil or flavored oil such as a prepared salad dressing prior to placing on the grill. You can also marinate them in a prepared dressing or your own marinade recipe.

Katy’s Gifted students Build the Great Wall of China With leGo & desiGn Computer Games Over 250 excited elementary students and their parents gathered at Taylor High School - their mission was to build the Great Wall of China out of Legos at the Katy Parents of Gifted and Talented (KPGT) and Katy ISD GT Design Date. Led by Bricks 4 Kidz, the students tackled the project with gusto. Whilst their wall may not be visible from space, their creation was certainly more colorful than the original. Meanwhile 4th and 5th grade GT students took over a lab to design their own computer games. Led by techno whizzes from WonderSpace, screens lit up with vibrant space scenes, volcanoes and robots as new found computer skills met lively imaginations. Triumphs were congratulated; tricky bits negotiated with new friends and adults marveled at the incredible attention span of children so intent on completing a project they were totally engrossed for hours.

Colleen Dominguez, fifth grade teacher at Bear Creek Elementary and Brittany Spurlock, English teacher at Miller Career & Technology Center, were notified during a surprise visit from Katy ISD Superintendent Alton Frailey.
s (ARDIPLANK )NSTALLATION
.PWW
Katy ISD Board of Trustees Treasurer, Neal Howard; Brittany Spurlock, Miller Career & Technology Center and Colleen Dominguez, Bear Creek Elementary.
Dominguez, this year’s Elementary District-wide Teacher of the Year, is a self-contained bilingual teacher and team leader. She has taught in Katy ISD since 2008 and holds a B.S. in elementary education from the University of Wisconsin. Dominguez says that what makes teaching rewarding for her is to see students grow academically and in character as the year progresses. Spurlock, this year’s Secondary District-wide Teacher of the Year, teaches both English III & IV, and has been with Katy ISD since 1998. She holds a B.A. in secondary education, English and Dance from the University of Houston and is currently working on her Master’s in English. Spurlock enjoys fueling energy in her classroom by celebrating accomplishments and creating a desire amongst students to want to do better. She also enjoys guiding first-year teachers through the fears and challenges of education. Both District-wide Teachers of the Year were recognized during the April Board of Trustees meeting and will be nominated by Katy ISD for the 2012 Region 4 Texas Teacher of the Year program.

Left-handed pitcher Montalbano ended the 2012 season with an impressive ERA of 2.02 and a .306 batting average. Montalbano has been playing baseball since he was a five-year-old. He has developed his devastating slider and fastball clocked at 84 mph to rack up the wins for Coach Greg Koch and the Faith West Eagles. Coach Jose J. Chapa has coached Montalbano from the eight-yearold Little Leaguer thru the select baseball clubs during his teen years.

Montalbano set his sights on Victoria because “I wanted to play baseball for Coach Puhl,” he said. Jaguars head coach Terry Puhl’s team finished this past season with a .408 record.

THEATER/ARTS The Landing TheaTre Company announCe iTs 2012 summer season SMUDGE by Rachel Axler, directed by Artistic Director David Rainey. Performances begin Friday, July 13th, open officially Saturday, July 14th and runs Friday-Saturday through July 28th at the O’Kane Theatre (One Main Building on the campus of UHD). There will be a special pay-what-you-can Industry Night on Monday, July 23rd. PRICE: $20 / Preview - $15. Artistic Director David Rainey will direct and the cast includes Jennifer Gilbert, Zachary Lewis and Chuck Hutchison. The production also features Lighting Design by Riana Canetti-Rios and Sound Design by Travis Ammons. A young couple, Nick and Colby, have all the expectations that most of us dream of about our child to be. But what they have achieved through their coupling is so shockingly far from their expectations that it is hard to believe. Coming to terms with that reality takes them on a life altering and often humors journey of self-discovery and acceptance. Two-time Emmy Award winner, Rachel Axler, forces her characters and us, to come face to face with our fears, our shortcomings and ourselves in this poignant dark comedy about parenthood.

There were all types of fun friendship activities that included skits, crafts and unique games focusing on the ins and outs and highs and lows of friendship. One main lesson they taught the younger Girl Scouts was to always T-H-I-N-K before speaking:
2nd Generation Tree Expert
T - is it true? H - is it helpful? I - is it inspiring? N - is it necessary? K - is it kind? These Cadettes felt passionate about teaching the younger girls tips and skills to better prepare themselves for their upcoming Junior High years as the Cadettes are well aware that friendship is not always an easy road.

They plan on using part of their troop earnings for an overnight trip to Sea World San Antonio. Congratulations girls!!!

Vincent has taken on many leadership roles over the years including Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader of Troop 557. He is also a member of the Order of the Arrow. Vincent’s eagle project benefited the students of Seven Lakes High School enrolled in ceramic classes offered by the Art Department. His project was to create two classroom sets of ware boards. The ware boards had to be made out of specific wood and fabric. Vincent organized many scouts to help accomplish this project. Vincent is a senior at Seven Lakes High School. He plans to major in Commercial Aviation at The University of North Dakota.
