Cimarron’s Pool Season 2012
The Cimarron Board has decided to have our photo ID cards in place again this season. Every resident (over the age of 3 years old) who enters the pool must have a photo ID card. If you have a photo ID card that was issued in 2009 or has a 09 sticker on it and you are under the age of 18 then you must have your picture re-taken. Please fill out the form and bring it with you or place in the mail if just requesting stickers. If you have paid your homeowners assessments and have your photo ID card then you
just need renewal stickers. You can mail in the pool registration included in the Cimarron Star to the MASC Austin Properties, Inc. and the “2012” stickers will be mailed back to you. There is no fee for Cimarron residents ID’s or their guest card. Please note that guest cards with the number 4 on them and are valid for up to four guests. These guest cards are validated with a 2012 sticker and are available one per household. If you have a “Temporary” pool card; they are no longer valid, you will need to get your pictures taken. If you are a new Cimarron resident then you will need to get your picture taken for your photo ID card. Or you may choose to bring in a small picture that is about 1 inch wide by 2 high. For Pictures & Stickers we will be at the Cimarron Community Center (next to the pool) at 818 1/2 Pickford at the following times: 9 AM to 1 PM April 28th and April 29th

www.dependablecomfort.com As our area has grown, so has the number of vehicles in the subdivision. Most seem to have more than one car per family and some have even more, as the children become driving age. Please try to be considerate of others who try to navigate between the cars that are left on the street. Children darting into the street or riding bicycles are more easily seen with less parked cars blocking the view of them. Thank you for your cooperation.

West I-10 Fire DepARTMENT
Geyerremodel.com
Greetings from your friends at the West I-10 Fire Department. We would like to take this opportunity to share some tips with our community as the weather starts to warm up. Pool time is fun time but with lots of fun comes major responsibility. Adults must always accompany children while they are in the pool, turning your back or “just running in the house” for even a moment can have disastrous consequences. Also as the weather starts to warm up please make sure to hydrate yourselves and your family. Heat related incidents are very preventable, remember to take breaks, drink plenty of water and wear appropriate spring clothes. Did you know that the West I-10 Fire Department is a department you can join? Members come from all walks of life and work together to serve their community. The West I-10 Fire Department is also committed to community involvement and as such would like all our citizens to know the best way to contact us. If you have an emergency, please dial 9-1-1, but if you have a question about the department or would like to inquire about a public relations event, please dial 281-675-3639 or visit our website at www.westI-10fd.org.
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 nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”
MPL#37282
All Your Plumbing Needs • Water Leaks • Water Heater Repair
and Installation Experts • Gas Tests and Systems
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 human being who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question or 2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle or 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.
HOMEOWNERS!!
If you know of a neighbor/residence who is not receiving the “Cimarron Star,” please notify Krenek Printing Company by calling 281-463-8649 or emailing us at news@krenekprinting.com. All we need is the address. Thank you!

Houston’s Hot Summer Break, July 4-8, 2012, is an all day, five-day music, food, beer, wine and spirits festival, featuring top chefs and mixologists, shopping, and live music. Held completely inside Reliant Center, the summer event includes cooking demonstrations, a beer brewing competition, wine and liquor seminars and the search for Houston’s best cocktail, margarita and martini. Patrons also can explore both floors of Reliant Center to listen and dance to live concerts featuring country, blues and jazz music, along with disc jockeys playing a mix of club music. “We are thrilled to announce the development of Houston’s Hot Summer Break,” said Skip Wagner, president of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. “Houstonians love to celebrate and this festival offers them a really cool way to do so. 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. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is a Section 501(c)(3) charity that benefits youth, supports education, and facilitates better agricultural practices through exhibitions and presentation. Since its beginning in 1932, the Show has committed approximately $283 million to the youth of Texas. The 2012 Show runs Feb. 28th - March 18th.

CenterPoint Energy understands that the responsible planting of trees is a way to care for our environment and beautify our community, yet we are also committed to the safe and reliable delivery of electricity. Our professional tree pruning program is integrated into our daily operations to help make this possible. Trees that grow close to CenterPoint Energy’s electrical poles and lines will be pruned by a professional tree trimming company under contract with CenterPoint Energy. Any vegetation greater than 10 feet in height will be removed from high-voltage transmission line rights-of-way. Palm trees growing near power lines create unique issues. Unlike other trees, palms grow in a straight, vertical line, with a single growing point at the top of the tree. Because of this single-growth point, normal pruning techniques are not effective. With most trees, crews are able to direct the growth away from power lines using proper pruning techniques, but growth of palm trees cannot be redirected.
Personal Touch
If you choose to include palm trees in your landscape, CenterPoint Energy recommends a planting distance of 20 - 40 feet to reduce the risk of windblown fronds contacting power lines. Consumers should plant palm trees far enough away from power lines that no part of the tree ever grows within 10 feet of the line. CenterPoint Energy encourages you to plant the “Right Tree in the Right Place” by thinking about the mature height of a tree and its distance from power lines before planting. For more information on safe planting practices and a list of power line-friendly trees, visit CenterPointEnergy.com/trees.
LOCAL JAM SESSIONS
We encourage new musicians to join us at our local jam sessions of old time folk, bluegrass, country and Cajun music and for those who play guitar, dobro, mandolin and bass fiddle. We meet at a local Katy location (no smoking or drinking), every Friday (except first Friday of month) from 6:30 to 9:30 PM. No charge and non-profit. We play on acoustic stringed instruments only for mutual enjoyment (although the Public is allowed to visit and listen to the music). For more information, please call 281-693-0391.
