NOTTINGHAM HAPPENINGS By the time this article comes out near the end of June, the Harris County walking/biking trail on the west side of Mason Creek should be near completion. This path has not been without controversy as there were issues as to who actually owned the land from the middle of Mason Creek upward toward the various 70+ homes that backed up to the creek. Eventually, it was determined that the property was owned by the developer, the Kickerillo Company and he deeded it to the county a few years ago. However controversy still remains. It is the hope of NCCIA that the walking/biking path will add a positive amenity to our community. We were told that the County will maintain the pathway, will be responsible for mowing, picking up litter and there will be regular law enforcement personnel patrolling the trail via bicycles. We sincerely hope this will be the case. While this can be a real positive for the community, it also opens doors for negative factors such as increased outsiders coming into the community and loitering in areas right behind the fences of some 70+ homeowners backing up to the trail. Additional noise factors are possible although no motorized vehicles are permitted on the trail. It is incumbent upon the community to monitor the events along this area and report any abuses and violations immediately to the proper authorities. At the time of this article, we are not certain who those authorities will be but it will be published when we find out. The success of this new amenity will fall entirely upon the behavior of the individuals who utilize the pathway. We encourage all NC residents to be respectful of the homeowners who reside near the trail, to avoid littering the area and to be courteous to all users. Recently I was driving around NC with one of the other NCCIA directors and he proceeded to point out some very great looking homes. As a director, sometimes we get so caught up with the 60 or fewer, shall we say, less attractive homes in our subdivision that it distorts one’s view of the community in general. Those homes that “do not measure up� certainly cause concern to all of us as they bring down the overall appearance of our community. As a Board, and with the assistance of SCS Mgmt. and our attorney, we do monitor those homes and try to work with the owners to keep their homes looking good. Unfortunately, there are folks everywhere in this country that really have no clue when it comes to a sense of responsibility for taking care of their property and having respect for others in the neighborhood. The fact is though that those folks are a small minority in NC. Many communities in the US experienced some issues during the subprime boom when everyone and anyone could get into a home regardless of income, credit, down payment, etc. We have seen a bit of “weeding out� the past few years and a number of really bad homes have changed ownership with the result being mostly nice renovated home which are now credits to our community. As a Board, we continue to encourage homeowners to visit with their neighbors who perhaps are not maintaining their properties. Ask if you can somehow assist. Offer to lend a weed eater, a paint brush, whatever!! Maybe they will get the message.

issues regarding vacant lot at Westgreen and i-10 service road
(Shingle color shown in Max Def Weathered Wood)
NCCIA was recently made aware that some vagrants were living outside in the brush, which is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Westgreen and the I-10 service road. With the assistance of homeowner Trey Hamblet, we obtained a no trespassing affidavit and it was signed by the owner of the property. The Harris County Sheriff’s Department and our Constable’s office have or will be taking the necessary steps to remove all persons living on that property. One of the vagrants was recently arrested after attempting to burglarize a resident’s home. Hopefully, this action will remove all individuals residing at that location once and for all.

suMMer LaWn care In summer, lawns get hammered. There’s extra wear and tear from weekend play, stress from summer heat and corresponding pressure to cut back on watering due to increased utility rates. 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. or contact a lawn professional for the best advice. mowing. Use a mulching mower with a sharp blade. Since grass clippings contain 3 to 5 percent nitrogen, they feed the lawn if you let them drop (don’t bag them). This allows you to reduce your annual lawn-feeding program by half. infrequently rather than often and shallowly - and early in the morning when there’s less wind and evaporation than during the heat of the day. of critter damage or disease and deal with either immediately.

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. Here are some handy grilling tips for preparing vegetables along 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.

GRILLING SEASONAL VEGETABLES
Licensed & Insured
We Warranty All Work
Vegetable Grilling Tips: ** Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray prior to heating the grill to help make clean up a snap. **Make sure your grill is medium hot. One way to test this is to 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 in size so they will cook evenly. For example: Cut your squash and 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.
Specializing in addressing the needs of infants, children and adolescents regarding:
**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.
**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. Grill Times and Techniques: Corn on the cob: Gently pull back the husks but keep them intact. Remove the silks and soak the cobs in cold water for 30 minutes. Dry and brush with butter or make your own compound butter by mixing together 1/4 cup butter (room temperature), 2 teaspoons ground chipotle pepper, and zest of one lime. Fold the husks back down over the kernels, twist the ends and place on the grill for 8-10 minutes, turning every two minutes. Serve with extra Chipotle, Lime Butter or have fun and invent other compound butters. Asparagus: Cut off ends and soak in water for 30 minutes. Brush with oil. Grill 2-3 minutes, or until tips begin to brown. Eggplant: Cut lengthwise into 1/2� slices. Brush with oil. Grill 2-3 minutes per side.

**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.
We maintain separate sick & well child waiting areas for the convenience of our patients.

**Use tongs to turn your vegetables on the grill instead of a fork. You don’t want to puncture them, as it will release the moisture.

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.

GIRL SCOUTS Girl ScoutS of the San Jacinto council Prairie roSe Service unit in Katy Prairie roSe cadette trooP 3068 of Katy Cadette Troop 3068 of Katy recently completed the Journey aMaze by planning and carrying out a “take action” project by hosting a “Friendship Fair” for 40 Junior Girl Scouts. 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: 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. Troop 3068 is part of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, Prairie Rose Service Unit. The service unit serves: Elementary: Alexander, Creech, Griffin, Holland, Kilpatrick, Stanley and Williams; Jr. High: Beck, Beckendroff, Cinco Ranch and McMeans; High School: Cinco Ranch and Seven Lakes.

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).

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.
