IMPORTANCE OF YEARLY ASSESSMENTS OUR COMMUNITY’S FOUNDATION

It’s that time of year our annual assessments will be due. These fees are very important part of the HOA’s function. In order for the association to perform the many tasks and duties for which it is responsible, the association must have operating funds. These funds are used to pay for landscape maintenance, sprinkler repairs, utilities, administration and help to keep an adequate reserve fund for major repairs or replacement of common property elements. The requirement upon an owner for paying assessments is mandatory and therefore, legally binding according to the association’s governing documents. The amount of the annual assessment is established each year by the association’s Board of Directors based upon the Board’s adoption of the annual budget. If a situation arises that you are unable to pay this assessment, please contact the Management Team as soon as possible for details about payment and collection procedures. Accounts that become delinquent may receive a ﬁne, a late fee or other charges added to the assessment which can be more costly if not paid in a timely procedure.

THE STONE CREST CRIER NEEDS YOU

Today, the Communication’s Committee is looking for a volunteer(s) to continue writing our monthly newsletter, The Stone Crest Crier, for the coming year.

THE STONE CREST COMMUNITY OUR CONCLUDING STAGE

In 2005, a group of developers set out to create our community of 434 homes in the outskirts of Katy with plenty of nearby amenities. Ten years later with the ﬁnal homes being built, our community’s master plan is nearly complete. During this time, the Stone Crest Homeowners Association was established in order to enforce Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions and maintain, enhance and protect the value of common property and the neighborhood as a whole. By purchasing a home within a HOA, you acknowledged that you are a member and will pay these assessments and abide by the community’s covenants. This includes any residents who rent or lease their homes, through your landlord’s lease you are still legally bound to abide by the rules. Scheduled drive-through inspections of the community are made to ensure there are no issues with the common property or any covenant violations. If there is an issue, you may get a notice. The inspection letters are just to bring an issue to the homeowner’s attention. We do understand if the grass was high because your tools were not working or you were out of town. Please contact management if a situation like this happens. Unfortunately, in the rare case where a homeowner routinely refuses to adhere to the covenants, further action may be taken, but generally the notices are just to ensure that you know that we are aware of the issue. If there is a violation, a notice is sent and a reasonable time frame is allowed to bring the issue into compliance. If you have questions about a speciﬁc problem or the process, please contact someone from our management team. The Stone Crest Homeowners Association would appreciate your cooperation in abiding by our community’s governing documents and is willing to listen to any resident’s concerns or comments.

HOMEOWNER’S ASSESSMENT FEES DUE

All Homeowners, our Stone Crest Yearly Assessment Fees will be due by the beginning of the year. Please remember to pay your assessments on time. The amount of our assessment fee also depends on each of our resident’s ability to pay their dues on time and the ability to adhere to the rules. There has been an increase of extra cost because of non-compliance notices, second notices or letters being sent. These amounts quickly add up when residents do not take responsibility to adhere to the rules. These letters or notices can be avoided by being in compliance. Please do your part to avoid them and notify the management about any problems.

MOST FREQUENT VIOLATIONS

SPAGHETTI PIZZA

You could make this on National Spaghetti Day January 4th!

• Birds: Provide food and fresh water. More birds die from lack of water than from lack of food. • Cacti: Semi-dormant now. Reduce watering. • Camellias: Plants may be moved. Pick up and discard fallen blooms. • Cultivation: Changes in design may now be made, new beds dug and old ones rebuilt. Correct defects in drainage. Incorporate gypsum into heavy soils: repeat in three weeks. Dig granite dust, rock phosphate and quantities of organic matter into soil. Allow time for settling before planting.

January 2016

Stone Crest

• Fertilize: Daylilies, spuria, Louisiana and bearded irises with complete fertilizer. Give strawberries 1 teaspoon ammonium sulfate, keeping six inches away from plant. Fertilize pansies with manure tea or blood meal. Water in. • Fruits: Plant fruit trees. Mulch figs with grass or straw to prevent freeze damage to crown. • House Plants: Water, when surface soil is crumbly dry. Wash dust off leaves to open pores. Mist often. Inspect for diseases and insects. Reduce water for poinsettias. • Lawns: Remove thatch aerate, and feed with low nitrogen mixture. • Pests: For petal blight prevention, spray azaleas and camellias as flowers open. Spray for scale with dormant oil solution if temperature will be above 35˚ and below 85˚ for next 48 hours. Always read and heed manufacturer’s directions before spraying. • Propagation: Ivy cuttings root easily this month and next. Root cuttings of shrubs in mixture of loam and coarse sand; keep damp and semi-shaded until rooted. • Prune: Fruit trees in advance of new growth. Prune to groom and shape. Do not remove too much. Remove dead wood from trees and shrubs before spring buds swell, but do not prune spring bloomers. Prune crape myrtles. Prune nandina and others of similar growth habit by cutting unwanted canes out at base of plant. • Roses: Annual pruning about the middle of February, just before the spring buds break. To prevent later appearance of disease in the old beds, keep garden clean of debris and weeds. Complete preparation of new beds for roses. • Transplanting: January is one of the best months to transplant woody plants, both evergreen and deciduous, especially trees. Energy will be expended on roots instead of foliage. Learn ultimate size and cultural needs of tree or plant before buying. Consider dwarf varieties to avoid crowding later. Group plants of similar cultural needs. Do not work wet soil. Assure good drainage. Keep plants moist.

Stone Crest

• Vegetables: Prepare beds, preferably raised for drainage, with about 50% humus, including rotted manure. • Winter Protection: Expect freeze any time; plan for protection of tender plants. Water. Remove coverings, particularly plastic, when temperature rises. Protect low plants with dry leaves, pine needles or soil mulch, but remove when weather warms.

Since 2014, the number of Katy ISD students participating in AP exams increased by 13 percent and more than 7,700 students earned a 3 or higher on these exams.

During the address, Frailey shared some of the District’s major accomplishments, such as being recognized on the College Board AP Honor Roll for increasing access to AP course work and increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher, and being recognized as the 57th largest district in the nation. During the 2014-2015 school year, Katy ISD had more than 60 students named semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program, 85 student athletes that signed letters of intent to

play sports at colleges and universities across the nation and the Class of 2015 graduates accepted more than $21 million in scholarships.

Theater/Fine Arts

MILDRED’S UMBRELLA THEATER CO. MAINSTAGE SEASON

“What’s wrong with this picture?” is the playful theme and question attached to each show in Houston Family Arts Center’s (HFAC) 2015-2016 season. Entering its 10th mainstage season, HFAC orchestrated a line-up of all-encompassing shows that highlight the theatre’s award-winning musical expertise, all while enveloping theatre experiences full of odd, zany, mystical and dramatic turmoil audiences love. The ﬁrst half of the season as follows:

JANUARY 29TH-FEBRUARY 21ST: “FOREVER PLAID”

On their way to see the Beatles’ American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, a quartet of high school friends’ musical dreams begin and quickly end after a car crash involving a busload of Catholic schoolgirls.

MARCH 11TH-APRIL 3RD: “HARVEY”

What do you get when you mix a polite and friendly man with a strange, six-foot-tall, invisible rabbit named Harvey? A sister who wants to commit her brother, but gets committed herself and a town comically turned upside down on the search for a mild-mannered hero and his invisible friend. All performances are on the HFAC Garza Mainstage, recently named “Houston’s Best Gem of a Theatre” by the Houston Press, except for Peter Pan, which will be performed at the Berry Center.

NATIONAL BLOOD DONOR AWARENESS MONTH

January has been designated as National Blood Donor Month. This month is a special time to emphasize the importance of blood donation, to recognize past and present donors and to encourage donors to give blood and platelets for local patients in need. Winter can be a difficult time for blood donations across the country as a reduction in turnout can put local and national blood inventories at a critical low. Do something good for the community and donate blood this month!

Featured speaker retired Colonel Tom Wilson’s words of courage and sacrifice were followed by gifts of gratitude to the veterans in the form of music, poems and songs presented by the Middle School Concert Band and PK-8th grade representatives. Wilson, a decorated 30-year Air Force civil engineering officer served at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Hurlburt Field, Florida and in Operation Desert Storm.
