FEBRUARY IS NATIONAL CHILDREN’S DENTAL HEALTH MONTH 

The American Dental Association, along with the ADA Foundation, is pleased to 

provide you with the February 2017 National Children’s Dental Health Month 

(NCDHM) slogan, “Choose Tap Water for a Sparkling Smile.” This month-long 

national health observance brings together thousands of dedicated dental 

professionals, healthcare providers and educators to promote the benefits of 

good oral health to children, their caregivers, teachers and many others. 

Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits 

helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. To 

access free online resources that can help you with teaching children about 

good oral health, visit ADA.org, click on Public Programs and then National 

Children’s Dental Health Month. 

CHILDREN’S ORAL CARE 

Take good care of your child’s baby teeth. They do eventually fall out but 

until they do, baby teeth play an important role in helping your child bite and 

chew food, and speak clearly. Many of the same treatment and evaluation 

options that adults have are also available to kids. These include X-rays, dental 

sealants, orthodontic treatment and more. 

WIGGLY TEETH - When a child is about 6 years old, his/her teeth will begin to 

come loose. Let your child wiggle the tooth until it falls out on its own. This will 

minimize the pain and bleeding associate with a lost tooth. 

CAVITIES - Cavities can develop when sugar-containing foods are allowed to 

stay in the mouth for a long time. Bacteria that live on the teeth feast on these 

bits of food and can eat away at tooth enamel. Saliva washes away the acid 

between meals, but if your child is always eating, there may not be time for 

this acid to get washed away.

GARDEN CLUB 

FEBRUARY 2017 NEWS 

The Holidays have come and 

gone once again for another year. 

The neighborhood looked lovely 

with all of the beautiful lights 

throughout Hearthstone. I hope 

everyone had a wonderful time with family and friends or in whatever 

capacity your holiday was spent. 

The Hearthstone Garden Club meets monthly in the ladies’ locker room at 

the Country Club on the 3 rd Tuesday of the month. Our February meeting 

is February 21 st and will feature Susan Wood. Susan is an award-winning 

member of the Herb Society of America, with decades of experience and 

passion in all kinds of gardening. She is planning to discuss Summer 

Survival Gardening Tips - surviving heat, pests, harsh sun in the infamous 

Houston Summer Heat. 

Join us at our meeting(s) anytime. You do not have to be a “Gardener” to 

attend or become a member of the Hearthstone Garden Club. Our meetings 

are very informative and our speakers may spark some interest. The more 

we know about gardening in Houston, the more we know about caring for 

our own yards and gardens, even if you have a full or part time gardener.

It has really been a mild winter compared to past years. We must continue 

to watch for drops in the temperatures. Keep your frost cloths handy 

for temperatures at or below freezing and cover tender young plants to 

protect them. Most plants tolerate a night of cold, but will suffer from 

repeated drops in the night time temperatures. 

If your yard and gardens are looking a bit sad, no need to worry. Focus on 

cool season color such as pansies, violas, snapdragons and dianthus, if 

you don’t already have these in your garden from late fall. Continue to care 

for them and clean out overgrowth and dead plants. Considering adding 

walkways, borders and hardscape now before plant growth gets started. 

We can get a clearer view of our gardens at this time, when plants are not 

in all their beauty and glory and should take advantage of it. 

Plant new rose bushes now, prune established roses. Plant flowering 

trees and shrubs and fertilize your established ones with the exception of 

Azaleas and Camellias. Do not prune your flowering bushes until after the 

spring bloom. Do not prune Crape Myrtles, they can be shaped, but they 

do not need to be pruned. 

Prune perennials in beds which are overgrown or have suffered cold 

weather damage. Wait until the last frost to prune tropical plants like 

hibiscus and bougainvilleas. Get green annuals in your beds for gorgeous 

Springs flowers like hollyhocks, larkspur, poppies and delphiniums. 

Don’t forget to water your plants and watch for signs of drought stress. 

Drought stress will result in reduced growth in plants due to depleted 

moisture to the roots in the soil. Plants in containers require more water 

and dry out quicker than those in the ground. Always water well before 

an expected freeze or drop in temperature. We cannot always rely on the 

weather to provide enough water at this time of the year. 

Don’t forget the birds! Keep your birdbaths clean and full of water. Keep 

your feeder full of fresh seed, replace any seed which is damp or old. Our 

beautiful birds will certainly appreciate our efforts. 

Have a wonderful February and Happy Valentine’s Day!

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR 

HARRIS COUNTY CONSTABLE 

The Harris County Constable’s Office, Precinct 5 is now offering a class on 

Rape Aggression Defense (RAD). RAD is one of the best women’s self-defense 

courses available. It’s a program based on realistic self-defense tactics and 

techniques. It is a comprehensive self-defense course for women that 

begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while 

progressing on to the basics of hands-on defensive training. If you’re 

interested in more information and signing up, go to this link: 

www.constablepct5.com/2016/06/16/rad-classes-available 

Make sure if you or your family goes on vacation to put in a “Vacation 

Watch” with our department. That way you’ll know your house is being 

watched by our patrol deputies. You can fill out a vacation watch form 

online here: 

www.constablepct5.com/online-forms 

Or you can call our dispatch at 281-463-6666. 

HEARTHSTONE STREETLIGHTS 

The Hearthstone HOA coordinates maintenance of all the streetlights 

throughout the community. This includes the “cobra head” lights like you 

see along many streets and highways, as well as the decorative light poles 

along Huffmeister and in some of the neighborhoods. 

Cobra head streetlights need to be reported to CenterPoint, using the pole 

number, which is the “address” for the light. It is a six digit number facing 

the street. You can report streetlights that are not working or staying on 

during the day at http://cnp.centerpointenergy.com/outage (Google 

streetlight outage) or give us the pole number and we will do it for you. 

Outages or problems with decorative streetlights should be reported 

to PCMI at 281-870-0585. Please note the exact intersection or closest 

address. The association has a contractor doing a monthly nighttime 

inspection for lights that are out, but if you see a problem, please report it, 

so we can achieve our goal to keep all the lights on all the time. 

TRASH DAYS 

Trash days are Tuesdays and Fridays with recycling pickup on Fridays. If 

you have questions, call 281-368-8397. 

BOARD MEETING 

Board Meetings are now 

bi-monthly, usually on the 

3 rd Wednesday at 7:00 PM.

LOST & FOUND PETS 

IN HEARTHSTONE 

Folks in Hearthstone are very 

helpful in getting lost pets 

reunited with their owners, 

but all dog owners should 

ensure that there is a tag on 

each dog with their name, 

address and phone number. 

Local pet stores have 

machines that make tags like 

this while you wait. At least 

that would help found dogs 

get back home quicker and with less trauma.

SAFETY TIPS - AVOID BEING A VICTIM 

1. Call the constable’s office anytime you see a suspicious person and do 

not let race, age or gender influence you calling (a suspicious person is 

anyone you do not recognize on your street). 

2. Call the constable’s office when you see a suspicious vehicle (any vehicle 

parked in front of your neighbor’s home or driving around your street that 

you don’t recognize). 

3. Always keep all your doors and windows locked even when you are at 

home. 

4. Always keep your overhead garage door in the down position. 

5. Remember neighbors looking out for neighbors are how the police 

catch the bad guys. 

6. Make sure to do a vacation watch whenever you go out of town. 

7. If someone comes to your door, always go to the door and acknowledge 

that you are there and remember to never open the door for anyone that 

you do not know. The bad guys in almost all cases do not want you to be 

home. Then always call the constable’s office so that we can check them 

out. When they leave your house, they are going to your neighbors. 

8. If you have children that stay at home alone, no matter what their age, 

they need to go to the door and have a preplanned story for whoever is 

there (my dad is working on the computer, he says to come back later). 

Then have them call the constable’s office. 

9. Never do business with people you don not know and trust. Never open 

the door for solicitors. If no one in the neighborhood buys anything from 

them, the companies that they work for will quit sending them into your 

subdivision. 

10. Always lock your vehicles and never leave anything of value in plain 

sight (covering up an item with a jacket doesn’t count). 

Our dispatch number is 281-463-6666 (please put this number in your cell 

phone as 911 constable or A constable so that it is one of the first contacts).

TEXAS CHRISTIAN ALUMNI - STAR STUDENT & STAR ATHLETE 

Texas Christian School Class of 2016, Michael Johnson received a full ride scholarship to Chadron State University where he is a star athlete and student. 

Due to his dedication and skill, Michael was named the Eagle of the Week for Chadron State. Chadron wrote that “Johnson had his first career doubledouble 

in an Eagle win during Christmas break. The freshman was the key to victory down the stretch, grabbing several defensive rebounds and following 

up with free throws to finish with 18 points and 13 rebounds, which were both highs for either team in the game. In the final three minutes, Johnson had 

seven of the Eagles’ final 15 points, adding four critical rebounds and one steal during that span.” Texas Christian is proud of the student athlete Michael 

has continued to be. Keep shining for the Lord Michael!!! Join us February 21 st at 6:30 PM for our Infant-12 th Grade OPEN HOUSE!!!

provided over 70 baking baskets, 150 handmade holiday cards and 12 bags of 

gently used toys, 6 bags of new toys and stocking stuffers and 5 bags of candy 

to some of our less fortunate neighbors. Junior troop 16465 collected items for

the nursing home residents. 

The annual Girl Scout Cookie sale began on February 7 th . We are celebrating 100 

years of cookie sales in 2017. Way back in 1917, Girl Scouts of the Mistletoe troop 

in Muskogee, Oklahoma, baked and sold cookies to support service projects in 

the first known cookie sale. Cookie sales today fund individual troop activities, as 

well as supporting Council camps and programs. Girl Scouts who sell Girl Scout 

Cookies are also developing the 5 skills of: goal setting, decision making, money 

management, people skills and business ethics. These are skills that will last a 

life time and lead to future success. Don’t miss trying our new S’mores cookie! It 

starts with a crispy graham cookie which is double dipped in crème icing and a 

chocolatey coating. Yummy! Of course, so are all the OTHER great cookies!

Haven’t heard from any Girl Scouts yet? Cookie 

booth sales will begin on February 17 th at

of our families, friends and neighbors. Thank 

you for buying Girl Scout Cookies!

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - 

COPPERHEAD DISTRICT 

For 100 years, Scouting programs have 

instilled in youth the values found in the Scout 

Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are 

just as relevant in helping youth grow to their 

full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting 

helps youth develop academic skills, selfconfidence, 

ethics, leadership skills, outdoor 

skills and citizenship skills that influence their 

adult lives. 

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth 

with programs and activities that allow 

them to: 

• Try new things. 

• Provide service to others. 

• Build self-confidence. 

• Reinforce ethical standards. 

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they 

are important as individuals while promoting 

activities that lead to personal responsibility 

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard 

decisions have to be made, peer pressure can 

be resisted and the right choices can be made. 

Scouting provides a rewarding experience 

for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through the 

local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life 

skills which help our youth Be Prepared. Your 

area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area 

Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 

23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 13 

Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 

Venturing units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). 

Our Units typically meet weekly. 

Many of our units are supported by the 

local Elementary Schools including: Birkes, 

Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, 

Holmsley, Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, 

Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan, Tipps, 

Walker and Wilson.

Creek Baptist Church, Beck and Masten

FREE! SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE DINNER 

Take a break from cooking dinner on Tuesday, February 28 th ! Join us at Epiphany Lutheran 

Church for our Annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner. Dinner is served from 5-7 PM. Enjoy 

some Mardi Gras music while you eat dinner! Children will create an Alleluia Banner, Mardi-Gras 

masks and Crowns and end the evening with a Parade and sing-a-long as we bury our Alleluias 

in preparation for Lent. Shrove Tuesday is a day of celebration as well as penitence, because 

it’s the last day before Lent. Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday 

came about as the last chance to indulge yourself and to use up the foods that weren’t allowed 

in Lent. Giving up foods: but not wasting them. In the old days there were many foods that 

observant Christians would not eat during Lent: foods such as meat and fish, fats, eggs and 

milky foods. So that no food was wasted, families would have a feast on the shriving Tuesday 

and eat up all the foods that wouldn’t last the forty days of Lent without spoiling. The need 

to eat up the fats gave rise to the French name Mardi Gras; meaning fat Tuesday. Pancakes 

became associated with Shrove Tuesday as they were a dish that could use up all the eggs, fats 

and milk in the house with just the addition of flour.

regarded as restricted during Lent. To keep such food from being wasted, many families 

would have big feasts on Shrove Tuesday. The English tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove

Native Houstonians - In Business Since 1978 

Tuesday came about as a way to use as much milk, fats and eggs as 

possible before Ash Wednesday began. In France, the consumption 

of all fats and fatty foods on this day coined the name “Fat Tuesday” 

or Mardi Gras. 

You are also invited to the Ash Wednesday services at St. Cuthbert 

Episcopal church on March 1 st at 6:30 AM, 4:30 PM and 7 PM. All 

services have Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes. The 

4:30 PM service is designed for children and their families. Ash 

Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent, which is 

dedicated to reflection, prayer and fasting in preparation for Easter.

Join St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church on Wednesday nights March 8 th 

through April 5 th , from 6:30-7:30 PM for our Lenten series, Forty Days 

in the Force. All ages are invited to participate. We will explore the 

many spiritual themes that weave throughout the Star Wars films. 

From the Force to the dark side, the issues presented in the films 

have a moral and spiritual complexity that, if paid attention to, can 

help us better understand our place in the world and our relation 

to others and to God. Through Forty Days in the Force we hope to 

see the challenges and victories in our everyday Christian life. There 

will always be a teacher and a student and there will always be evil, 

but thanks to God and his Son, there will always be good and we 

will always have a purpose. Nursery will be provided for infants 

and toddlers. Star Wars activities will be provided for preschoolers. 

Those ages 6 through 106 will explore the force together.

“COVER TO COVER” BIBLE STUDY 

Cornerstone will once again be offering their “Cover-to-Cover: Read the 

Bible in a Year” Bible study. This will be the second year for the church to 

offer this study designed to read and study the Holy Bible from Genesis 

1 to Revelation 22 in a year. The class will meet at 5 PM every Sunday 

evening continuing through August 2017. A nursery is provided at no 

cost. Week-to-week drop-ins are welcome and the weekly readings will be 

published in the weekly Sunday bulletin, the monthly church newsletter 

and weekly on the church’s Facebook page. Those completing the study 

will receive a certification of completion and a recognition pin for their 

achievement. Everyone is invited to attend. 

CHRIST COVENANT CHURCH LADIES BIBLE STUDY 

The women’s group will begin a bible study, A Compassionate Call To 

Counter Culture. We live in days marked by a rapidly changing moral 

landscape. Debates rage. Emotions run high. But the stakes are even higher 

than we might think. What if the real issue is the glory of God? How are we 

to respond? In this small group Bible study, best selling author David Platt 

calls the church to a contrite, compassionate and courageous response to 

the most controversial issues in our culture.

the Lord”

STEPS FOR STUDENTS: A 5K RUN/WALK 

Are you a runner who enjoys family-friendly races? Are you an alumnus of 

a parochial school? Do your children, grandchildren or children of friends 

attend a parochial school? Do you like to have fun with 10,000+ plus 

people? If you answered yes to any of these questions or even if you didn’t, 

the 2017 Steps for Students 5k Race/Walk is for you. Steps for Students 

is a 5k USA Track and Field Association sanctioned race which benefits 

Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Held every 

year in February, Steps for Students has grown to include over 10,000 

participants, filling the streets around the Co-Cathedral with runners, 

walkers, families, kids and adults. Each Catholic school in the Archdiocese 

has its own team which you can join or donate to. Race Day begins with a 

sunrise Mass at the Co-Cathedral followed by the race itself. In 2017, the 

race will take a new, East-West direction under I69, but it will still begin 

and end at the Co-Cathedral. Afterward, you can enjoy the Post Race Party 

in the nearby Race Day Village. All donations and registration fees (minus 

a $3 fee) go directly to your designated school, where they can be used 

to help fund scholarships, improve 

the campus, add to the educational 

experience of the students or whatever 

is needed or desired. If running and 

getting up early is not your thing, there 

is even a Snooze option. You can also 

sponsor your favorite runner or school 

by simply making a donation. 

The date for the 2017 Steps for 

Students 5k Race/Walk is Saturday, 

February 18, 2017. The sunrise Mass 

begins at 6:30 AM with the race itself beginning at 8 AM. Registration is 

currently underway, but the last day to register at the low price of $15 

(which includes a t-shirt) is February 1, 2017. After that, registration 

increases to $25, so register early. Steps for Students is a great way to 

get out, get some exercise, see our beautiful city with your own eyes and 

make some new friends, all the while supporting Catholic education and 

the wonderful opportunities it provides to students of all backgrounds 

and faiths. For more information about Steps for Students go to http://

time. Texas has the highest rate of homeless youth in the U.S.

youth of Houston. If you or your organization would like to hold a food 

or clothing drive for StandUp For Kids please contact me at HeatherE@

help visit our website at www.standupforkids.org.

follows: “No requests, just don’t want to be forgotten.” -LCPL O.J.T. III

from writing letters and sending postcards, to mailing care packages

FOSTER CHILDREN: 

PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL) 

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. 

That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities 

arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out 

how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month. 

Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help 

prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long 

course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council 

for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s 

BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. 

Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change lives 

with hands-on community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see 

www.ncjwhouston.org.

BEST FRIEND AND FAMILY MEMBER! 

Loving Arms Pet Placement has an assortment of wonderful dogs and cats 

hoping for their forever homes. We have all different types of small to 

large dogs, mixed breeds and many wonderful cats to choose from. 

We are a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats. If you are not ready to 

commit to adopting a dog or cat permanently, the animals also need 

foster families. Besides providing food, water and a safe place to sleep, 

foster families socialize the animals so they are people friendly. Include 

the animal in your daily home life inside your home. Get to know them as 

individuals so you can share personality traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes. 

Treat the animal like your own and train him/her, if possible. 

Although you may feel sadness when your foster animal is adopted, 

please know that your efforts helped to prepare the cat or dog for his/ 

her forever home.
