wo School Districts, two High Schools, two junior highs, three Elementary schools and several private school allegiances, equals one great neighborhood. The county line that divides the neighborhood almost right through the middle of houses, also draws the line for the Plano and Richardson school districts. This means that neighbors who live across the street from one another, or even next door to one another, could now become school rivals.
HyperLocal Media 224 W Campbell Rd, STE 428 Richardson, TX 75080
A rivalry is defined as a competition for the same objective or for superiority in the same field or activity. Most of us have or have had a rival in our lifetime. Some rivalries can be intense (husband, I’m looking at you and your Red Raiders) and some can make for fun banter amongst friends (Sooner fans, I’m looking at you). However, in Canyon Creek, although we may be separated into two different schools, school districts, and even counties, we are one awesome neighborhood. And if you’re wondering what my point is here, well, I’m getting there. You see, when the Canyon Creek Life staff was hard at work planning another issue of your little neighborhood magazine, someone mentioned, “you know, I wonder if either of the high school mascots live in our neighborhood”. This obviously got our wheels turning and our texts sending, as we wanted, no, we needed to know the answer to this question. So, a couple of emails, a few texts, and even a phone call later, we had our answer, and we could NOT BELIEVE IT! What are the chances that BOTH PSHS and JJ Pearce school mascots live in OUR neighborhood? Yeah, we felt the same way…shocked! So this month, we present to you the PSHS mascot, Wendy the Wildcat and the JJ Pearce mascot, JJ the Mustang, both Canyon Creek residents. Two schools, two mascots, and one great place to live, rivalries or not.

Pets of the Month
Ranger and
Phoebe Buffay
Tell us your names and your pet’s name. We are the McDaniels (Chip, Jen, Charley, and Campbell), and our pets are Ranger and Phoebe Buffay.
What breed is your pet? Ranger is a long-coated German Shepherd and Phoebe is a Maine Coon. Both happen to be 6 months old, so there’s all kinds of fun (and energy) at our house. How did you get your pet and how long have you had him or her? Phoebe came to us from Argyle, TX after Chip and Jen made all Charley and Campbell’s cat-lady dreams come true. Both girls had been begging for a cat for as long as we can remember, and they finally wore Chip down. Ranger was an unplanned addition to our family. He came from Rockwall, TX after ingesting a sock and needing emergency surgery to 4
remove it. Ranger’s previous home offered him to us because they knew we were experienced German Shepherd owners, and would give him a great home. He’s determined to have a repeat of his previous surgery. Tell us about your pet: fun tricks, unique talents, quirky personality, etc. Phoebe is a very dog-like and super social cat. She and Ranger follow us from room to room, and just want to be in the action. Her trick is opening doors so nothing is off limits for her, which by default also aids Ranger in his mission to have a repeat surgery. Ranger’s “trick” is driving Jen crazy and stealing food from the pantry. How long have you lived in Canyon Creek? We’ve lived in Canyon Creek for 6 years. www.CanyonCreekLife.com
What do you love most about living in the Canyon Creek? We love the sense of community this neighborhood provides! You can’t go outside without seeing a friendly face, which inevitably results in many impromptu neighbor get together. Share with us a funny or awesome story of living in Canyon Creek? Honestly, our entire 6 years of living here is an awesome story. We moved to this neighborhood for the beauty and reputation of the schools. We not only found great schools, we also found friends who feel like family and the most incredible neighborhood to raise our family. We hit the jackpot when we made the decision to move to Canyon Creek! Anything else you would love for your neighbors to know about your pet? We have an Instagram page for anyone who’d like to keep up with Phoebe and Ranger. @RangerandPheebs

Fall Maintenance Checklist by: Lisa Parelli-Monaghan
F
all is a beautiful time of the year in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We all savor the crisp cool air, pumpkin spice and changing colors. It is not only a great time to be outdoors but also a fabulous time to get your home prepared for the colder weather ahead. Of course, none of us could have been prepared enough for our week of Antarctic weather that we had last year! A “Fall Maintenance Checklist” comes in handy when preparing your home for the season change ahead. By doing some of the maintenance now can save you in costly repairs later. Here is a “Fall Maintenance Checklist” that will have your home ready for the colder season ahead:
1
Check Smoke Detectors, Fire Extinguishers, and First Aid Kits Every year when we “Fall Back” with the time change you should automatically make sure safety inside your home is in top shape. Check your smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and change the batteries. Check that a ready-to-use fire extinguisher is up to
6
date, in a known location within the home along with a first aid kit in the case of emergency. It is always important to check the supplies in your first aid kit. Bandages and medications do expire and may not be ready to use when the need arises!
2
Roof Inspection Hire a professional or inspect your roof yourself to ensure that there are no loose shingles or damage that may cause leaks. Remember, your roof is your first line of defense from weather and often overlooked until there is a problem. Fall is typically our wettest time of the year and leaks can cause water damage quickly.
3
Inspect Heating System Don’t ignore this inspection! Each year carbon monoxide deaths result from heating system failures. Contact a professional yearly to inspect your system for carbon monoxide leaks and any other issues that could potentially be dangerous to your home. And always change out your filters. www.CanyonCreekLife.com
Chimney and Fireplace Cleaning Have your chimney swept and checked for structure cracks if you plan on using your fireplace this season. If soot is built up 1/8 inch, it needs cleaning. Not only can excessive build up cause a chimney fire but also emits chemicals that could be harmful to breathe. Don’t forget to have outdoor fireplaces checked as well.
5
Clean Your Gutters Remove fallen leaves and debris from the gutters and flush them out with water to prevent ice from accumulating and causing damage. Check for any tilting in the gutters as well and adjust as needed. Be sure to practice ladder safety if you plan on completing this project yourself.
6
Check Windows and Doors You want to keep cold air out and heat in! Check your doors and windows for any damage or noticeable drafts and seal up any openings. Just sealing up openings can save you up to 20% on heating costs.
7
Prep Lawn For The Winter With the beauty of Fall comes the leaves falling from the trees. Although it looks nice to watch they also leave a mess if left unattended. The fallen leaves can also eventually kill your grass if never raked. This can easily be avoided by mulching with your mower. You will also want to trim trees/branches to prevent them from breaking should we get ice or snow in the coming months. You will also want to disconnect your garden hose and cover any outside faucets once the weather is colder. Now, get out there and enjoy the beautiful Texas Fall weather!

www.CanyonCreekLife.com
What is your name and the name of your business? Joe Costantino of Canyon Creek Scanning How long have you been in business? We have been in business for a year. Tell us about your business (what do you do, where do you do it, etc). We save memories the simple way. We scan photos, albums, negatives, slides. We convert old video and film. Everything gets converted to digital that can be shared on the cloud, social media, usb drives, etc. We've worked on everything from 8mm film, 1890's photos, 60 year old scrapbooks, VHS tapes, baby albums, slides – you name it we've probably worked on it. Save Now. Share Forever. What inspired you to do what you do? Some years ago, my father unexpectedly died. It was a real blow to our family and my extended family. And what made it even more painful was there was
so few images of him to share. My family, siblings, cousins, aunts and uncle are dispersed across the country. And dad was too old and had too little inclination to be on social media. All the photos of him were across the country and none of them scanned. So, I start to do this for our family. And after a while, I realized certainly there must be others who need this too. Tell us a favorite story or two about your business. We do a lot of great work for families. I've been very touch by the memorial work we've done sitting with a family as they share the most cherished images of their loved ones. Being able to save images of World War II vets and keeping those images safe for future generations is gratifying. We have a lot of great stories where people call us up after we convert video or film and they are so excited to see those family members just as they remember them all those years ago.

How long have you lived in Canyon Creek? We have lived in Canyon Creek Since 2004 What brought you to Canyon Creek? We were looking for our first real home as a growing family. We need someplace with good schools and a neighborhood feel. What do you love most about living in Canyon Creek? The are several great things about the neighborhood as anyone here can tell you. The community is high up there.

Tell us about your family (names, ages, schools, work, etc). My wife, Rose, and I have been married for 19 years and we have four kids three

Business of the Month girls ages 18,15,11 and a boy, 13 years old. We've been in the neighborhood for 17 years this month. We've been involved in everything from the 4th of July parade, boy scouts, soccer, karate, mom groups, books clubs, cooking clubs. Share with us a funny or awesome story of living in Canyon Creek. The most awesome thing about Canyon Creek is how supportive the community can be. I can 't count the number of times the kids have had some endeavor where they want to do something like a pig roast or sell drawings and the neighbors are all in and supportive. That is pretty special. Anything else you’d love for your neighbors to know about your business or you? We do pickup and return service for the neighborhood. We are family run.

espite Al and Angela Gallo growing up in different states, having different goals, and winding up as educators in different districts, that didn’t stop their paths from crossing and their mutual love for math and helping students from bringing them together. Al grew up in Oklahoma and was active in wrestling. After the ninth grade, he moved to Plano where he attended Shepton High School and then Plano Senior High School. He continued wrestling throughout high
12
school which would inevitably lead to his career path. He went on to the University of Texas to study engineering but wound up changing courses after he fell in love with education. “I found that instead of going to bars I enjoyed my volunteer work that I did at local schools,” Al explained, laughing at the uncommon actions of a college student. He graduated with his Bachelor’s of Science in Mathematics and began his career as an educator in Dallas before moving down to Austin to coach wrestling. Soon after, his www.CanyonCreekLife.com
old wrestling coach from Plano reached out and asked if he would take over his role as wrestling coach so he could retire. Al then moved back to Plano where he was a math teacher for Calculus, Pre-Cal, Algebra 2, and Math Models, as well as the wrestling coach at PSHS. Later on, with the encouragement and support of Angela, he went back to school to get his Master’s degree, worked his way through administration at Shepton and Plano East, and is now the Assistant Principal at Clark High School. Angela grew up in Baton Rouge and attended Louisiana State University. She received her Bachelor’s of Science in Chemical Engineering and moved to Dallas to work at Halliburton and then later at Alcatel. After having her daughter, Emily, Angela decided to go into education so she could have more flexibility in her schedule. Her first teaching job was at North Junior High where she taught seventh-grade math for five years. She then moved to the district level where she worked as a Secondary Math Specialist writing curriculum and training secondary math teachers for nine years. In 2018, she became the Instructional Coach at J.J. Pearce where she still works today. In 2007, Angela was selected by Texas Instruments to receive the first Innovations in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math award out of every teacher in the North Dallas area. Although Al and Angela taught in different districts, they still met through teaching by attending the same math training. They exchanged information, but it didn’t really go anywhere after that. In 2009, their alma maters happened to be playing each other in the College World Series, and they began teasing each other and flirting on Facebook about the games. They decided that if the series went into the third game they would go on their first date together to watch it. Al agreed to go to the LSU watch party at the Fox and Hound with Angela, and he was a good sport when the Tigers won the World Series that year. “We’re both alternative certified, too,” Angela explained about their work. “In my training, I always hear teachers say, ‘oh, I’m just alternative certified’ and that doesn’t matter. All that matters is what you put into it.” In Angela’s current role, she helps teachers learn new strategies and techniques to use in the classroom. Both Angela and Al get to see a different side of teachers than most people do. Students see the adults who lec-
ture them throughout the day, parents see the people who take care of their kids during the day, but administrators see the humans who sacrifice their evenings, weekends, and sometimes even their sanity, to do their best to make a difference in a child’s life. “When they go home...their mind’s aren’t at home. They’re working on lesson plans, they’re worrying about one kid, they’re trying to figure out how to get the lesson across to another. When you’re passionate about teaching, it doesn’t stop when you get home,” Al explained to me as Angela nodded in agreement. “I try to encourage the teachers to step back and spend time with their family when they get home,” Al continued, “but I can’t think of one job that is more work to be absent than anything else.” “I think that’s one of our biggest pushes, is self care for our teachers,” Angela added, “The same things that we’re dealing with as parents, that’s what the teacher is dealing with; not only with every kid in their room, but also when they go home they have their own families.” Angela explained that anyone in the community can be involved in the PTA or volunteer at the school. The schools and teachers also have Amazon Wishlists full of school supplies needed that anyone can contribute to, then everything is shipped directly to them. “Even a positive note,” Angela continued, “it can be as simple as an email just saying how
appreciative you are, every little thing helps.” “Be very empathetic to what they’re doing,” Al said, “because they’re struggling, too, but they want your kid to succeed.” The two married in 2011, joining their families together with their girls, Sarah and Emily, who are only two days apart in age. The girls are now seniors in high school, with Sarah attending Plano Senior High and Emily going to J.J. Pearce High School. Sarah has a passion for baking, and one day has a dream of opening her own bakery. She recently completed a year at the PISD Culinary School at Plano East, and she’s looking at attending a culinary school after graduation. Sarah is also the Plano Senior High mascot, Wendy the Wildcat, she works at Chipotle, and she is Canyon Creek Life’s Student of the Month! Emily dances at Chamberlain Ballet Company and is very involved in her school’s extracurriculars. She’s a member of the RISD Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council, an SOS Lifeguard, member of HOSA and she participates in the Professional Internship Program at Pearce. While it may sound like the Gallo family is constantly on the move, from late-night dance practice to late-night shifts, and all of the school meetings in between, they still manage to find time to spend together. “We like to celebrate random things. We’ll celebrate because it’s Tuesday! Or Christmas in July! We’re not www.CanyonCreekLife.com
together often, so when we are I like to make things really special,” Angela said. One of their favorite family traditions is being part of Chamberlain’s The Nutcracker at The Eisemann Center during Thanksgiving weekend. Emily usually performs in several roles, and Al and Sarah will play roles too with Angela working backstage in the wardrobe department. This year, Al will be playing Dr. Stahlbaum, Clara and Fitz’s father, and Sarah will play the role of the Governess. Even though this is the last year the Gallo family will be able to participate in The Nutcracker, they’ve enjoyed this event becoming a family tradition and they look forward to beginning new traditions next year after the girls graduate. The Gallo’s travel every summer with extended family. They love to SCUBA dive together so they’re always traveling somewhere tropical, like Turks and Caicos or Kauai - where Angela and Al got married. When they’re at home, they serve as their street’s Block Captains, and they like to walk the neighborhood and get inspiration for home projects - like furniture building or front porch decorating. At the end of the day, the Gallo’s spend their time supporting one another. No matter how busy someone’s schedule is or what could be going on, they know the importance of supporting each other and being by their side to help each other every step of the way. 13

Mortgage Rates and the Housing Market What to Expect
By: Ryan Miles
I
t’s been an unprecedented year in the housing industry – continued low rates and rising home prices have created a competitive market the likes of which I have never seen in my career. But will it continue? Here’s how I see the future. MORTGAGE RATES Mortgage rates are primarily determined by the national mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market. Mortgage-backed securities are mortgage loans that are bundled and then sold in the bond market. The price of these bundled debt securities is driven by national and global news events – such as the pandemic – which in turn affects individual mortgage rates. Currently, to stimulate the economy and in response to pandemic-driven uncertainty, 14
mortgage rates have been held artificially low thanks to the Fed pumping trillions of dollars into buying up the mortgage-back securities. This is a favorable short-term solution for consumers, however not sustainable in the long run for financial institutions. In other words, if we remove the Pandemic and the government’s mortgage back purchases out of equation, I believe rates would naturally respond to the laws of supply and demand and be higher. That said, I feel it’s likely mortgage rates will begin to slowly rise over the next year or more. HOUSING MARKET There is a lot of speculation whether we are on the verge of another housing “bubble.” It’s a good question, especially given the record-breaking housing price increases we’ve experienced over the last year. Personally, www.CanyonCreekLife.com
I don’t see a bubble bursting, however I do feel like growth will taper off and normalize. Why? On the demand side, Millennials are entering the housing market for the first time in record numbers with no end in sight. On the supply side, inventory numbers for homes on the market remains significantly low. As a result, I think the housing market will continue to be highly competitive – offering opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Bottomline, I believe this continues to be a great time to take advantage of lower rates and competitive home prices if you are in the market – however I recommend acting now since it’s only a matter of time until rates rise.

Tell us your honors and awards in school. This summer during UCA (universal cheerleaders association) camp I earned the honor of being an All American Mascot, as well as being offered a job for UCA to coach over the summers as a Professional Mascot/Coach. At the end of camp I was given the leadership award for being a role model and leader for the other mascots as well as the mascot mushie (the highest award)!!! During my years at Vines cheer, we won 4th place at the NCA (National Cheerleaders association) competition 2 years in a row. I was the cheer captain my first year of cheer back at wilson and was awarded the spirit stick for being most spirited. I was also awarded the spirit stick for my school during both my junior and senior year at PSHS.
Athletes of the Month
Sarah Gallo
Tell us your name, what school you currently attend, and what year you are in school. I’m Sarah Gallo. I am from Plano Senior High school - Grade 12 Previous schools - Greenwood hills Elementary 3rd-6th (RISD), Wilson middle school 7th-8th (PISD), Vines High school 9th-10th (PISD).
Tell us what sports or activities you were involved in and why you enjoy it. Before highschool I was in multiple different sports. I played soccer for about 5 years, and my dad was a coach for most of my teams. I started in kindergarten and was always goalie or defense. I was really good and loved playing as well as spending time with my dad. I was also taking gymnastics at the same time. I ended up having to quit soccer because the two practice times coincided, and soccer started at the exact time gymnastics ended. I was super flexible, and loved doing front handsprings and flips. You would often see me doing cartwheels and such at the goal post during soccer games. Eventually I quit gymnastics to do dance and tumbling to help further myself to do cheerleading. However, dance only lasted a year after I realized I am not very graceful. My journey with cheerleading started when I was about 4 years old 18
while my dad taught and coached at Plano Senior. Since my dad coached wrestling he had many athletes who also played football. He would often visit the field on game days and take me with him. I got to cheer with the cheerleaders and stunt. I even got my own mini PSHS cheer uniform. I had So much fun and it was so exciting, it became my dream to be a PSHS cheerleader too. After being practically raised on the schools` campus, I grew such a love and fondness for this school it feels like home. I have acquired the nickname of being the “embodiment of school spirit” and I take that name with pride. I love my school and would do anything to make it a better place and help others share the love that I do. I finally became a Plano Senior cheerleader last year but it wasn’t enough. I wanted to reach more people and be someone even more inspiring so I became the mascot. I have taken inclusivity to a new level with my character, Wendy. She has an instagram account @ Wendy.Wildcat where I post updates and other fun things from her personally!! I love being Wendy and the effect I have on my community, especially on games days. As soon as she enters the field the crowd goes wild. Wendy is able to get the crowd excited and is very popular among the students. It definitely helps that I have an extensive history of theatre!! www.CanyonCreekLife.com
What’s your favorite subject in school? My favorite subject is culinary arts because I love to bake. I aspire to own a bakery/cafe one day. I was enrolled in the advanced class at the culinary academy at Plano East last year and got servsafe certified. What are your plans after you graduate? After I graduate I plan on taking a few gap years and interning in the Disney bakeries. During the summers I plan on taking the job offer to work with UCA and coach other aspiring mascots! My dream school is the C.I.A. (Culinary Institute of America) and major in pastry arts and business. Outside of schools and sports, what do you do for fun, hobbies, work, etc.? As previously stated I love to bake! I currently work at Chipotle. How long have you lived in Canyon Creek I have lived here since 4th grade. That's about 8 years. What do you love most about living in Canyon Creek? I love living close to my friends, and taking walks by the creek. Throughout highschool my favorite pastime was taking “adventures” through the park, and exploring all the hidden paths. Exciting incident One of my favorite experiences while mascotting is getting to stunt during touchdowns!!
Tell us your name, what school you currently attend, and what year you are in school. My name is Delaney Vanderpool and I’m a sophomore at JJ Pearce High School. What other schools have you attended? I went to Canyon Creek Elementary and North Junior High. Tell us what sports or activities you were involved in and why you enjoy it. I’ve run cross country since I was in 7th grade, and I’m the mascot for JJ Pearce! Brag on yourself: Tell us your honors and awards in school. If they gave an award for most time spent on homework, I would definitely win. I take a lot of hard classes that suck up a lot of my time, but they’re definitely worth it. What’s your favorite subject in school. I like math because I’m good at it, and language arts because I like to talk to people about current events. Tell us about your plans after graduation. After I graduate I want to go to college somewhere awesome, and maybe study abroad or serve a mission for my church. I’m not really sure what type of career path I want to pursue, maybe I’ll run for president. Vote Delaney Vanderpool 2052! Outside of schools and sports, what do you do for fun, hobbies, work, etc.? I love to read, go to Sweet Firefly with my friends, and I also started my own business last August! I make and sell balloon arches, garlands, and pillars for any type of event. You should check out my instagram! @balloonsbydelaney How long have you lived in Canyon Creek? I moved to Canyon Creek when I was in 2nd grade, and I’ve lived here for 8 years. What do you love most about living in Canyon Creek? I love that everywhere I go, I always see someone that I know. Tell us a favorite story or two about a big moment or fun moment playing your sport. My favorite part of cross country is running
Delaney Vanderpool with my friends at practice. You’ve probably seen us running around the neighborhood early in the morning. We push each other to try harder and beat our previous times. I recently beat my time at one of our meets, and since then I’ve been practicing and training to improve my time even more. My favorite part of being the mascot is getting to interact with all the different organizations and clubs at Pearce. So far I’ve participated with cheer, Wranglers, band, and color guard. I think my favorite part is getting to interact with little kids at football games. It’s fun to hand out prizes and to throw shirts into the crowd. www.CanyonCreekLife.com
Share with us a funny or awesome story of living in Canyon Creek. When I was in 7th grade, there was this giant empty tuba box sitting in the RNJH band hall. The box was huge, six people could sit inside it comfortably. I recruited five of my friends to help me carry it home, thinking I would surprise my mom and little sister with a giant box. But before I had even made it home, six people had already texted my mom to let her know that I was walking home from school carrying a giant box. You can't get away with anything in this neighborhood.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Echoes From The Canyon
A
Fall 2021!
s Bob Dylan so melodically intoned, “The Times They Are a Changin’”. In a series of law changes and legal interpretations that I am very aware will affect Canyon Creek, RPD Officers will soon begin to ticket golf cart pilots who do not possess a driver’s license. Be aware of this new policy and take the wheel yourself. Raise free range kiddos but they are now back to feet and bikes like the proverbial old days. In more pleasant news, the “Mayor” of Canyon Creek, Jay Dalehite was awarded the Richardson Real Hero Award for his thousands of hours of largely unheralded Service to our Community. It was a wonderful ceremony and as soon as is available, we will post official photos and video. He is the walking epitome of the Greatest Generation and serves as an example of an era when the prevalent attitude was “If not now, when? if not me then who?”. Jay, you are a treasure! National Preparedness Month was September but now is he time to prepare if one hasn’t already. We have seen from a tornado to a pandemic to an Artic Freeze the need. Please consider registering for alerts at www.cor.net/alerts for information about emergency weather, utility issues, street closures and public health concerns. As an FYI, we have 22 audible alarms spread throughout Richardson. Recently, Emergency 20
Management received a Grant from our State Farm corporate partners that includes funds for blankets, whistles and search and rescue equipment. Ribbon was cut at Network’s glistening new headquarters that will serve those in the RISD geographical map. Instead of the cramped and roof leaking previous quarters, thanks to many who reside in Canyon Creek (and others), 50,000 square feet of purpose built design will serve our Community. As always, if you can, help and if you need, come. If you are one of the decreasing percentage of those neighbors who are not yet members, please join us at https://canyoncreekhomeowners. com/membership/ for a wonderous quantity of features and benefits for the sum of $15/year, $50/year with a Flag Subscription. Uniformed Boy Scouts hoisting Old Glory high is a sight stirring to the Soul. Also, if you have been affected by the loss of a loved one by Covid, you are in our prayers. If you have been financially impacted, our offer of a free membership and flag subscription still stands. We are in this together and your email requesting this complimentary service directed to the above address will be kept confidential. Thank you for all you do to imbue this special neighborhood with a special sense of place.

Canyon Creek HOA Beautification Committee
T
hose of us who are lucky enough to call beautiful Canyon Creek home, know what a jewel of a community it is. We have raised and educated our kids here; we have enjoyed the safety of her streets; we have enjoyed the beauty of our beautiful mornings and the serenity of our quiet evenings. We have marveled at the beautiful golf course, creeks and the great parks. And perhaps as wonderful as any of this, we have met and gotten to know new and good friends who will share our lives and the lives of our children forever. One of the assets that we all hold dear is the physical beauty of our homes and lawns. So many “Canyon Creekers” make the extra effort that distinguishes our neighborhood from so many others. We recognize and appreciate “BEAUTY”! But what exactly is “beauty” and what difference does it make to a neighborhood? Why has the Canyon Creek Homeowners Association deemed it necessary to establish and fund a “Beautification committee” to focus on this one subject, beauty? The Oxford dictionary defines beauty as “a combination of qualities, such as a shape, color or form that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight.” My own definition of “beauty” is “ the condition of being extremely pleasing to the eye; delightful, pleasant to behold”. No matter your own definition of beauty, we all desire it, whether in our homes, our yards, our streets or indeed, even in the personalities of people we meet. Many of us drove through Canyon Creek before moving into our homes and were impressed by the beauty of the neighborhoods. And yes, we were even willing to pay a little more because we discerned a neighborhood of people for whom beauty and the maintenance of their properties and surroundings was important. But beauty is more than pleasing to the eye; beauty is profitable! You see, as it turns out, neighborhoods where beauty is a priority attract primarily, families for whom law and order and education are important. These same people demand and support great schools and crime prevention programs. And we all know that communities with great schools and low to no crime, increase in value at a rate faster and more consistently than others.
With these considerations in mind, the Board of Directors of the Canyon Creek Home Owners Association wants to shed new light on it’s program that recognizes and incentivizes neighbors who go the extra mile or (yard) to make their yards and thereby, our neighborhood, look special and beautiful! We want to announce the new Yard of the Quarter program (YOQ)! Until now, we have sponsored a “Yard of the Month” program that has been successful. But we want to take the program to the next level. Our desire is to raise the awareness of the program and to raise the rewards and notoriety for those who put in the extra work and effort to beautify our community. Starting, October, 2021, we will be searching the neighborhoods of Canyon Creek for the “Yard of the Quarter”. We will select one home in each of four quadrants of Canyon Creek per quarter. (a total of four yards per quarter for all of Canyon Creek) The homes will be selected by “quadrant coordinators” for each quarter. These coordinators live in the quadrant they coordinate so they are familiar with all the homes in their quadrant. Now here is how we recognize and reward them: 1. A prominent yard sign that trumpets the family’s award for three months! 2. A picture of the family and their yard in the Canyon Creek Life magazine with interviews when possible. 3. A personal copy of the award photo suitable for framing 4. A letter of recognition, suitable for framing from the Mayor of Richardson and the city council. 5. A check for $250 check. 6. A $100 gift certificate from Bruce Miller Nursery. We know that these enhancements will make a successful “beautification” program even more successful! Now here’s to keeping Canyon Creek the “Jewel of Richardson”! Gabe Meadows, CCHOA Beautification Director

Make your voice heard! Input Requested on US-75, Central Expressway HOV Lanes proposal The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) has put out a proposal for an HOV pilot project on the HOV lane. These public input requests typically have a very light response rate, this is a chance for Canyon Creek to have a strong influence over an issue that affects us all! Below you will find a summarization of the proposal and links to the full presentation. Along with some key topics to consider in your response. In their words, HOV Pilot Project Along US 75 Corridor (Click Control enter while hovering over the blue text to see the full presentation) In partnership with NCTCOG staff and local jurisdictions, the Texas Department of Transportation has been working to determine an option for the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane along the US 75 corridor. Staff will provide details on a pilot project along this corridor that will evaluate the effectiveness of allowing single-occupant vehi24
cles to utilize the HOV lane while providing an incentive to HOVs. The Plan, In short: They plan to remove the bollards (those ugly white posts that get knocked off) Widen the lanes where necessary to make them standard highway width Implement an incentive/dis-incentive program using the GoCarma app to Either charge Single occupancy vehicles (SOVs), or pay HOVs. Extend the HOV lane from where it ends today at ~ Bethany in Allen north to Hwy 121. Things to consider in your input: What access will Richardson have to enter and exit the lanes? Should the lanes be tolled for Single Occupancy Vehicles (SOVs) or Paid to incentivize HOV users or treated as all other free lanes.? If Tolled or incentivized is the sole use of a smart phone app (GoCarma), that requires 2 occupants to have it in order to get the incentive, a good solution could it be viewed as discriminatory? www.CanyonCreekLife.com
The proposal extends the HOV lane from Bethany Rd in Allen North to Hwy 121, Will it take a lane away from the existing free lanes or are they adding a lane? Should large trucks be allowed to use it?
