MONTHly FEaTUREd HOME Featured - 6307 Tall Canyon. For those who keep their homes and yards looking great, we thank you. Here is an example of a beautifully maintained house - just look at those azaleas! If there is a home you wish to see featured in the newsletter, please feel free to submit it via email so we can get it into the upcoming publication of the newsletter. We also continue to see residents who keep their trash and recycling bins in public view (side of the house, in front of the garage, etc.). Many residents have received more than one letter about this issue – if you are among them, please be aware you WILL BE FINED. There is no need to keep your trash cans on display for your neighbors and their visitors to see. If your garage is so full that you cannot fit a trash can in there, it’s time to clear out a few things.

DEED REStRICtIONS With all the rain we’ve had this winter (if one could call it that!), the yards and foliage are growing at a speedy rate. While performing recent inspections, it was quite obvious that many residents are not in the full swing of “regular” yard maintenance. Please make sure you are doing your part to keep the community looking neat and tidy. Overgrown and weedy yards, dead foliage, junk left on the driveway, newspapers piled at the front door - these are all things that really detract from the overall look of the street. They can and will impact home values - and can be especially bad for those who might have their house on the market. Please try to be respectful of your neighbors by keeping your house and landscaping properly maintained!

Landscape IrrIgatIon tIps from cInco munIcIpaL utILIty dIstrIct no. 8 April showers bring May flowers. Time for irrigation is once again upon us. 60-70% of residential water use goes to landscaping, with lawns using the most water. Typical irrigation system efficiency is 50% or less. Cinco Municipal Utility District No. 8 (Cinco MUD 8) would like to assist its customers in saving water and money. Cinco MUD 8 makes available FREE evaluations for residential outdoor irrigation systems. These evaluations are provided by the W.I.S.E. Guys (Water Irrigation System Evaluation) with all costs paid for by Cinco Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the Cinco Ranch area Master District) and the North Fort Bend Water Authority. For your FREE irrigation evaluation, please log on to www.nfbwa.com/wiseguys. For more information on W.I.S.E. Guys, please visit www.vepollc.com and click on W.I.S.E. Guys. Get your EVALUATION now. Lawns do not need to be watered every day, twice per week is sufficient for grass health. Even in severe drought, twice per week watering promotes deeper grass roots. Residents should set lawnmowers on a high setting, which would allow the grass to absorb more moisture and naturally destroy the weeds. The soil in Cinco MUD 8 has a high CLAY content so the ground absorbs water at a slower rate. Set your irrigation timer to water for FIVE to EIGHT minutes per zone and repeat one hour later. This is known as “Cycle and Soak.” When you participate in the W.I.S.E. Guys program, the certified contractor will reset your controller for the right amount of time based on sun/shade/soil type and the type of sprinkler heads on each zone. This will allow the ground to absorb the water and avoid water runoff (wasted water). Another money saving technique is to shorten the watering time by ONE minute and if the grass is still green, money is saved. The addition of a RAIN SENSOR, which will disengage the sprinklers after a specific amount of rain, will save water and money.

securIty The front gate is our best defense against outside crime. We require all vehicles entering via the Visitors gate to present photo ID. Residents need to be sure their guests are aware of our procedures. If the visitor doesn’t like it, they can leave. Residents utilizing the Visitors lane to enter the community need to contact the office to obtain an EZ tag (or to program your tollroad tag) or Resident sticker. Failing to obtain either item, be prepared to show ID when you enter. Residents are to be called for all visitors ONLY between the hours of 11 pM and 6 AM. please be sure the office has your most recent contact information. And please go to our website www.canyongateatcincoranch.com and sign up for community emails if you do not already receive them. Emails are sent about security issues, upcoming activities and other information concerning our community.

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. If a child is under the age of 18 and is in the fitness center without a parent or guardian or appears to be simply loitering in the lobby, please politely ask them to leave. Thank you.

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.
RECREATION CENTER RENTAL
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 trash cans are being filled to overflowing regularly. Fines will start being assessed if the Rec Center trash cans are filled up with party debris.
STREET LIGHT MAINTENANCE
To report a streetlight that is not working, call CenterPoint Energy at 713-207-2222. You will need to report both the number on the base of the pole (six digits) and the street address. You may also report outages online at www.centerpointenergy.com/outage.

Girl Scout World Thinking day was celebrated by various level of Girl Scout Troops of the Silver Spur unit in Katy Texas on 2/21/2012. The theme this year was “we can save our planet.” Girls from Cadette Troop 17081 showcased Scotland. Their colorful display consisted of authentic Scottish dance costumes, including kilts and a Scottish National Dance ensemble, posters featuring Girl Scouting, Eco, Influential people, food and history of Scotland, dolls dressed in Scottish attire and photos from the Scottish countryside. In addition, any girls who ‘visited’ their country received a sticker of The Royal Flag of Scotland for their passport, samples of delicious Scottish shortbread and a swap kit containing a tiny glass of milk (since we are in the middle of cookie sales). As a highlight of the event two lovely young ladies from St. Thomas Episcopal School provided a lively demonstration of the Highland Fling accompanied by the rousing skirl o’ the bagpipes. Include

We look forward to making it one of the best and most successful events of its kind, offering attendees the ability to get away without going away!” Another highlight of the event, a restaurant-style café, will allow attendees the opportunity to sit and enjoy creations from several Houston-area restaurants, cafés and diners, including a wine bar and coffee shop. Net proceeds generated from Houston’s Hot Summer Break will directly benefit the mission of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

award winning HFaC aCtors aCademy presents
LES MISÉRABLES sCHool edition at tHe Berry Center The award-winning Houston Family Arts Center (HFAC) Actors Academy is proud to present the school edition of the 8-time Tony award winning musical Les misérables performed entirely by students! This compelling musical voyage into post-revolutionary France opens on saturday, May 5th at the Berry Center 8877 Barker Cypress Rd, Cypress, TX 77433 and has 8 performances through sunday, May 13th. The epic story presented in Les misérables School Edition is a great way to introduce children to the magic of musical theatre. Broadway’s legendary musical, originally adapted from Victor Hugo’s timeless novel, has been specially adapted to meet the needs of young performers. Relentless in its musical drive, Les misérables School Edition is filled with powerful imagery of darkness and light, highlighting, throughout its dramatic action, the struggle inherent in the human condition and the indomitability of the spirit, despite great suffering. Set in 19th century France, this classic and poignant musical, tells the story of Jean Valjean, a strong-hearted man jailed for stealing a loaf of bread. As he struggles to make a new life for himself given his new found freedom, he must grapple with questions of faith, fatherhood and allegiance to the law.

Garlic Prime rib
INGREDIENTS: 1 (10 pound) prime rib roast 10 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons ground black pepper 2 teaspoons dried thyme
DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Place the roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fatty layer of the roast and let the roast sit out until it is at room temperature, no longer than 1 hour. Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and continue roasting for an additional 60 to 75 minutes. The internal temperature of the roast should be at 145 degrees F (53 degrees C) for medium rare. Allow the roast to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices. http://allrecipes.com/ Submitted by Chef Mike
