Grayson Lakes kids FishinG derbyThe Grayson Lakes Events Committee and their Gener-ous Sponsors Host Free Fishing Derby for Kids & Families on April 21, 2012

Grayson Lakes is hosting an exciting, fun-filled day of fishing for kids, ages 2 to 15 years old and their fami-lies. Community youngsters are invited to come out to the Grayson Lakes Community Center with their fishing poles, tackle boxes and bait and take part in the Fifth Annual Grayson Lakes Kids Fishing Derby from 9:30 to 11:00 AM on Saturday, April 21, 2012. Every child fishing at the derby will receive a free goodie bag full of fun stuff provided by the event’s local sponsors. In addition to free fishing, the day will feature food and beverage, prizes and fun.

Youngsters will begin registration at 9:30 AM and the fishing contest will take place from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Refreshments will be served at 11:00 AM as we an-nounce the Fishing Derby prizes. Families are welcome to stay and continue fishing for as long as they would like. A parent or guardian must register and accompany all children.

Grayson Lakes has a strong commitment to the com-munity’s youth and is proud to host a memorable day of fishing for our young residents. Events like this fish-ing derby can be a great bonding experience for kids and their families. The beauty of fishing is that it is an activity that a family can enjoy together for a lifetime, especially in a community like ours.

Grayson Lakes Community Center - All Grayson Lakes Residents WelcomeWe need volunteers to weigh the children’s fish and officiate the event. If you can give 2 hours of your time on this day please contact Becca Patterson at [email protected]. We desperately need community volunteers to make our neighborhood events possible. Please contact us today.

emaiL aLert and siGn-upThe following email was sent to Grayson Lakes Residents on February 6th. If you have not already signed up to receive email alerts please do so by going to www.GraysonLakesLiving.com and on the home page under the “Quick Links” section click on “Email Alert Signup” and give us your name and email address. You can sign up for two levels of communication. One level is for email alerts and the other is for community activities. We will assume you are signing up for both lists unless you tell us different.

As a result of a break in that occurred on January 22nd, resident Donna Me-deiros suggested that the following information be sent as a reminder to all residents on the email alert system. In particular, you should note that the non-emergency number, 281-341-4665, has been updated and is different from the number that used to be posted on our web site.

Information from the Fort Bend Sherriff’s (FBS) office regarding Neighbor-hood Security is as follows:

• If there is a ‘crime in progress’ or you feel that there is imminent danger to life or property, call ‘911.’• If you observe ‘suspicious’ or ‘out of ordinary’ people, activity or vehicles, call 281-341-4665.Both calls will roll directly to the FBS dispatch, but will be routed based on the information given.

Suggestions from the FBS dispatch officers regarding suspicious people are to get a physical description including race (white, black, Hispanic, etc.), height, weight, hair color, clothing etc. For suspicious vehicles, try to get a License Plate # and color, make and model, if possible and direction the vehicle is going. Keeping a pad of paper and pen in your own vehicle will make it easier to obtain the needed information.

Please have the FBS # 281-341-4665 posted near your home phone, programmed into your cell phone and if you have children at home, make sure they know where to find the number and also put it in their cell phones if they have one. Never open your door to anyone that you don’t know or looks suspicious and make sure children know this as well.

Neighborhood Security information as well as detailed information in reference to our Neighborhood Watch Program are available on our website, www.graysonlakesliving.com.

The Neighborhood Watch document contains ways to keep yourself and your property safe and ways to help facilitate local law enforce-ment to reduce crime in our community.

Be aware of your surroundings and keep your eyes and ears open!

Please sign up to receive Email alerts and forward this to any neigh-bor you know that may not be getting urgent information.

Volunteers needed!If you are interested in volunteering for the Grayson Lakes HOA Budget Committee, please contact Trey DeVillier at 281-347-7772 or send an email to [email protected]. Thank You!

Please fill in all information

RUOK PROgRamFort Bend County Sheriff’s Dept. has a computer-generated pro-gram called “Are You OK?” (RUOK). It is a computer-generated call intended for senior citizens (over 55) and disabled persons who live alone and could benefit from a daily check. A computer will generate a call each morning, at about the same time and the participant chooses a time frame. A voice will ask, “Are you OK?” After this, all they have to do is hang up the phone. If the partici-pant goes out of town or leaves the residence for any time, you just temporarily un-subscribe and re-subscribe when you return. If the call goes unanswered, the computer will call back 3 times at 15-minute intervals. If there is still no answer, the Sheriff will dispatch a deputy or the local police. They will have with them a print out of information on the person that is not responding to the calls. This program was established by FBC Sheriff Milton Wright, Commissioner’s Court and Ken Whitt (FBC Sheriff’s Citizens Acad-emy Alumni Assoc.) in 1998. Many police chiefs in the county are also participating in the program and will proceed with the welfare check for citizens of their community. To request more information or to enroll in this free and very beneficial program, please call the Sheriff’s Dept. at 281-341-4704.

BOY SCOUTS

L-R: Michael Gilbert, Ian Johnecheck and Ryan Goodwin. Picture by Laura Tynan Photography

Pack 209“Marked Men”Katy Boy Scout Troop 209 recently held an Eagle Scout Award Court of Honor ceremony to recognize Michael Gilbert, Ryan Goodwin and Ian Johnecheck for achieving Scouting’s highest rank of Eagle Scout. Each Scout individually completed the requirements for Eagle by demonstrating leadership skills and proficiency as well as by initiating and leading a community service project. Michael’s project benefited St. Bartholomew Roman Catholic Church’s Youth Program, Ryan’s project benefited The Katy Heritage Society and Ian’s project benefited the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition. The three began Scouting in 2000 as Tiger Cubs in Cub Scout Troop 925. Now as Eagle Scouts they have become “Marked Men” by assuming the solemn obligation to do their duty to God, to Country, to fellow Scouts and to Mankind in general. Graduating from high school in 2011, Michael currently attends Midwestern State University, Ryan attends the University of Arkansas and Ian attends the University of Oklahoma. Troop 209, sponsored by St. Peter’s United Methodist Church, was established in 1939 and since then 138 of its members have become Eagle Scouts. Only 4 in 100 Scouts will earn the rank of Eagle Scout.

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 Live-stock 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 attend-ees 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 di-rectly benefit the mission of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is a Section 501(c)(3) char-ity 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.

A recent quote used to introduce her was, “It is essential for women to become articulate in all ways - in their lives and through their voices, as defenders of their homes, their faiths, their marriages, their beliefs, their core.” The event was the annual conference of the combined Katy Stake Relief Society. The Katy Stake is a geographic area comprised of nine Latter-day Saint congregations, each with its own chapter of the Relief Society. About two hundred women attended.

two from Katy advaNCiNg

to eLKs state hoop shoot

One week after the Katy Elks lodge hosted its an-nual free throw “Hoop Shoot,” two of the six win-ners who had advanced to District competition are now on their way to State to vie for the next level contest, Regional. Any who survive these two rounds will be Nationals bound in Springfield, MA this summer.

Macy Ray, winner in the 12-13 girls category and Bennett Hanks, 8-9 boys winner, will be representing the Gulf Coast Disrtict in Dallas. This is Bennett’s first trip to State, while Macy will be enjoying her third time there. Last year Macy advanced to National competition where she placed fourth. Katy has always provided strong competi-tion to other Elks Lodges in the “Hoop Shoot” scholarship program.

Rick McCool, along with his wife Shirley, have spear-headed the local “Hoop Shoot” for over 30 years, a number of which Rick has also served as District chair. This will be their final year to direct any “Hoop Shoot” activities since Rick has chosen to “retire.”

Knowing Rick, he will still be available to help but he is turning the local and district chairs over to Dan Tass, along with the help of his wife Gail, to direct the winning tradition that has been set by Katy area youth and the Katy Elks Lodge.

Update For North Fort BeNd CoUNtyBy Commissioner Andy meyers

Reported crimes have decreased 7% in Fort Bend County and nearly 9% in the Katy/Fulshear area from 2010 to 2011, despite an increase in population. The crime rate has decreased each year for the last ten years resulting in Fort Bend County having the lowest crime rate of the ten largest Texas counties. An article in the Katy Section of the Houston Chronicle reported that crime in Katy/Cinco Ranch area, which is in both Harris and Fort Bend Counties, had increased.

The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office recently assigned 50 Deputies to the North County Annex located at the northeast corner of the Grand Parkway and the Westpark Toll Road. Building the Annex and locating the Sheriff’s Patrol Deputies in it will increase patrol time in the north part of the county by 10-15%, which helps decrease response times on complaints and reduce crime.

The two direct connectors at SH 99 and Interstate 10 are now open, significantly reducing traffic congestion at that intersection. TxDOT has begun construction of Segment “E” of the Grand Parkway from Interstate 10 to SH 290. Fort Bend County has begun construction of the first two of ten Grand Parkway overpasses in the portion of Seg-ment “D” from FM 1093 to US 59. Construction of all ten overpasses and of Segment “E” should be completed by year end 2013.

Fort Bend County has begun engineering design on the extension of the FM 1093/Westpark Toll Road. The Project is in two Phases. Phase I consists of four lanes of FM 1093 frontage road from SH 99 to FM 1463, four lanes of main toll lanes from SH 99 to Spring Green Road, and a direct connector east FM 1093 to north SH 99. Construction of Phase I is slated to begin the fall of 2012 and will take 18-24 months. Phase II of the Project consists of four lanes of FM 1093 frontage road from FM 1463 to James Lane in Fulshear and will be about two months behind Phase I. The Project is funded mainly by TxDOT and the Fort Bend County Toll Road Authority.

The county will construct and operate a “Park and Ride” facility on property it owns on the north side of FM 1093/Westpark Toll Road between Mason Road and Grand Mission Drive. The “Park and Ride” is funded by a federal grant. It is scheduled to be completed by late summer 2013. Destinations from the “Park and Ride” will be to the Galleria Area, Greenway Plaza and the Medical Center.

A continuous right turn lane from north FM 1463 to east Interstate 10 was completed in 2011 to reduce traffic congestion at that inter-section. Further improvements to FM 1463, a state road, requires the federal government to approve and fund additional feeder lanes from FM 1463 east along I 10 and an overpass at the FM 1463/I 10 intersection. Such approval and funding is not anticipated for several years. To provide additional access to I 10, the county has been working with TxDOT, Waller County, city of Katy, and various property owners and developers to build the Cane Island Parkway from US 90 on the north to connect to FM 1463 on the south. Cane Island will include an overpass over I 10 about a mile west of the I-10 / FM 1463 intersection. This Project has been stalled by the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) insistence that the state and local governments provide full funding for the ultimate I 10 overpass, which is estimated to cost $30 million. Another proposal has been made to FHWA for approval of a two-lane overpass over I 10. We currently await a response from FHWA.

Fort Bend County’s North Annex at 22333 Grand Corner Drive Katy, Texas 77494, is open to serve the community. Offices in the Annex include Commissioner Precinct 3 Andy Meyers, 281-238-1400; Tax office, 281-238-1490; County Clerk office, 281-341-8685; Justice of Peace Precinct 3 - Ken Cannata, 281-238-1460, Constable Precinct 3 - Rob Cook, 281-238-1430; Sheriff Milton Wright office, 281-341-8745; Health & Human Services office, 281-238-3233; and Veterans’ office, 281-238-1480.
