Yard Of The Mon th by Joanie Brown and Amelia Dansby
Our committee had a definite mix of both “Happy” and “Tough” during both nominating and final voting decisions. Lots of eye candy provided the “Happy” for our members with so many great-looking yards, especially so early in the season. However, the “Tough” part was narrowing down to the best of the best. FYI: there are 2 factors that determine delay in announcing each month’s winning yards: 1) nominating and final voting take place during last 2 weeks of each month; 2) deadline for submitting articles for newsletter is 14/15th of month preceding following month’s publication (i.e., April’s winners were selected end of April, after deadline for May’s newsletter, so had to wait for June’s—result: April’s homeowners will keep signs in their yards during May; pattern continues throughout cycle, with October’s signs “planted” through November).
CONGRATULATIONS and appreciation go out to April’s winners:
1ST PLACE18009 Rosebud ($50 Home Depot Gift Card)
2ND PLACE8303 Full Moon Trail ($25 Home Depot Gift
Card)
3RD PLACE7101 High Bluff ($15 Home Depot Gift Card)
Honorable Mention: 8105 Broken Branch; 8204 Broken Branch; 7205 W.Magic Mountain; 6005 Bar Harbor Cove; 8329 Lofty Lane
Okay, everyone—these folks have set the bar higher than ever for the rest of us. Let’s step up to their challenge!
Reminders:* Mow, Edge, Clear Debris… Nothing gives immediate
satisfaction like regular mowing and edging, including along sidewalks and adjacent curbing. (If you live on a corner, a reminder that you’re also responsible for the areas along the streets adjoining your property). Please ensure all clippings are placed in your garbage cans for disposal; not swept or blown into the street.
* Watering… Our lawns need water. Whether by an irrigation system or hand-watering, do set and maintain a schedule which
follows our water restriction guidelines (Wed/Sat for odd-numbered addresses; Thurs/Sun for even-numbered). FYI: If you do not have an installed irrigation system, many experts recommend that you consider placing a soaker hose around the perimeter of your foundation—again, only on your designated watering days. Extreme drought conditions dry up the soil and can cause cracking along a home’s concrete foundation. Intermittent dripping from a soaker hose can help protect your home from this type of foundation damage.
Note: Though we’ve been able to return to our 2x/week watering schedule, the heat of our Texas summers has already begun which is an ever-present reminder to use caution in our watering habits; the more wasteful we are, the sooner we’re likely to be forced back into mandatory stages again.

As of publication, 25 of our neighbors have signed on as Block Captains; but, we still need more volunteers to cover Stone Canyon’s remaining streets. Several of our streets are quite long and need to be shared with another co-Captain. Following is list of streets already covered and their assigned Block Captains: • Part of Fern Bluff Ave (Brightwater
south to Sea Ash)/John Pankey • Spindletop Terrace/Amy Stiffler • Whitewater Cove/Bob Tagtow • Part of W.Magic Mountain and Ancona
Trail/Cathy Rickert • Magic Mountain Cove, Part of W.Magic
Mountain and Part of Wildwater Way/Robert Page
• Ironweed Run/Cynthia Oelkers • Part of Sunburst Parkway/Rebecca Bird • Frazell Cove/Part of Sunburst Parkway/David Passarella • Bar Harbor Bend (northwest of Bar Harbor Cove around to

• Laughing Water • Rosebud Place • Part of Sea Ash Circle (northwest of Spindletop looping around
to Fern Bluff) • Portion of Fern Bluff Ave between west and east ends of Sea Ash • Full Moon Trail and Cove • Cool Canyon • Two Jacks Trail
The Bottom Line: “Word of mouth” among our residents has been proven to be the fastest and most effective means of bringing attention to and sharing information about safety issues. Our Neighborhood Watch network is THE major weapon we can use against anyone who threatens our community. It’s our way of staying aware and keeping our neighborhood the safe place we want and need it to be.
If you can help out by covering your own or a neighboring street, please let me know. We need you. Thank you.

THE DEDICATED RUNNERSubmitted by Steve Bernhardt
Over the past few years the topic of proper running form has been widely discussed in running books, online forums, coaching blogs, magazine articles, and training classes. From these conversations the running community at-large has come to a consensus that there are best practices for runner’s to follow when running that optimize speed, efficiency, and reduce the probability of injury. The term commonly used today to highlight this emphasis on proper running technique is Good Form Running.
Here are four key components of Good Form Running that you should incorporate into your running technique, particularly if you are interested in enhancing your performance or have been battling some of the more common running related injuries.
1. POSTUREHead level, eyes forward. Upper body and arms relaxed, loose hands.
Compact arm swing, not crossing the mid-line of the body.
2. MID-FOOT STRIKELand the lead foot directly under
the hip, striking mid-foot not heel first.
3. TURNOVERResearch has shown that the
optimum cadence is 180 foot strikes per minute. The faster turnover promotes a shorter, quicker stride and a more efficient mid-foot landing.
4. SLIGHT LEANLean forward at the ankles not the
hips, use gravity to pull you forward.Making adjustments to your running form can take time as muscle
memory requires focused attention and repetition to rewire. With a moderate level of dedication and consistency you can make significant improvements in your running form that will result in a more productive and enjoyable running experience.
