EMAIL LIST SET UP FOR INSTANT PROBLEM NOTIFICATION<br />
If you would like to join the <strong>Glencairn</strong> Crime Watch email list, please<br />
send your name, address and telephone number along with the<br />
email, which you check frequently, to Patty Hill at glencairncrimewatch@live.com.<br />
The meeting for the <strong>Glencairn</strong> Crime Watch is the<br />
second Wednesday of the month.<br />
You will receive information, which has been sent to me from the<br />
Sheriff’s Office, from citizens who have observed events, etc. In<br />
addition, if you want to volunteer as a Block Captain for your street,<br />
you can do so by sending an email.<br />
Sadly, in this era of commuting and busy schedules, few of us get to<br />
know our neighbors. At one time in our history, neighbors knew when<br />
there was a problem and immediately told their neighbors. This effort<br />
will offer information as it comes to my attention. Rumors will be<br />
checked out by the Sheriff’s Office before the information is shared<br />
via email to the residents. <strong>Glencairn</strong> is doing a great job watching<br />
out for each other and calling the Sheriff’s Department to report<br />
suspicious activities, our criminal activity has steadily gone down.<br />
COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS<br />
Your Board of Directors are volunteers from your community that give<br />
up their time in an effort to make <strong>Glencairn</strong> a better place to live. More<br />
importantly, they strive to keep the property values up since your<br />
home is probably your single largest investment. We trust you will<br />
understand that Board members do not mind discussing association<br />
issues with members. We respectfully request that homeowners do<br />
not approach Board members away from Board or member meetings<br />
to discuss personal deed restriction or collection matters. The<br />
individual Board members cannot make a decision on an individual<br />
basis. It takes a majority vote of the Board to make a decision. That<br />
is why the Board meets on Mondays before the member meeting to<br />
discuss issues with members.<br />
CALL SHERIFF’S OFFICE TO REPORT<br />
AFTER HOURS & ILLEGAL ACTIVITY<br />
If your home backs up to the greenbelt, please call the Sheriff’s Office<br />
at 713-221-6000 if you see or hear suspicious people, underage drinking,<br />
graffiti artists or any activity after 10 PM, etc. Graffiti has extended<br />
to some homeowner fences and to the sidewalks. It is imperative<br />
that you call the Sheriff’s Office, give your address and explain that<br />
this area is behind your home in order to get this activity stopped.<br />
We are looking at solutions to this problem of recalcitrant teens and<br />
young people in their 20’s who have nothing better to do with their<br />
time than disobey the law and terrorize the neighbors.<br />
All common areas (the pool area, the parks, the civic center, tennis<br />
courts, etc.) in <strong>Glencairn</strong> are closed at 10 PM. After 10 PM, people at<br />
any of the common areas are in violation of the trespassing laws of<br />
Texas.<br />
SLOW DOWN IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS<br />
Almost everyone is aware that the Sheriff’s Office has adopted a zero<br />
tolerance of speeding and other violations of the law with a motor<br />
vehicle. That zero tolerance has resulted in an average of 50 tickets<br />
per month issued in <strong>Glencairn</strong>. The speed limit in residential areas, by<br />
Texas law, is 30 miles per hour. There are cautionary signs regarding<br />
slower speeds on curves. There are stop signs, which indicate the<br />
vehicle must come to a complete stop. Residents of <strong>Glencairn</strong> want<br />
to see a slower pace of traffic for the protection of all-especially the<br />
children. For some reason, the people of Harris County seem to be<br />
perpetually late. A suggestion for each of us is to leave five minutes<br />
early in order to avoid the impulse to speed. Develop patience; we<br />
do not want a fatality auto-pedestrian accident in our neighborhood<br />
or any serious accident caused by thoughtless speed. Be mindful of<br />
where you are driving.<br />

DEED RESTRICTION REVIEW<br />
IMPROVEMENTS/MAINTENANCE OF DWELLINGS<br />
The deed restriction violation reviewed in this issue is maintenance of<br />
dwellings. Once again, this is an overview and there could be specific<br />
issues that are not covered. For additional information feel free to<br />
contact the Deed Restriction Department at ACMP, Inc. 281-855-9867.<br />
The Association regularly cites properties with the violations such<br />
as paint house/ACC required, paint garage doors, repair or replace<br />
garage doors, paint mailbox, replace roof and paint or replace house<br />
<strong>Glencairn</strong> News | <strong>March</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
trim, among other violations regarding the maintenance of a dwelling<br />
or a house. In most cases these are referred to as exterior maintenance.<br />
A successful realtor has stated items that create good property<br />
values. One of those items was the neat, attractive appearance of the<br />
house and mailbox. There are several issues to keep in mind when<br />
discussing exterior maintenance. These will be presented following<br />
the discussion of the Covenants & Restriction.<br />
Every section of <strong>Glencairn</strong> Community Improvement Association,<br />
Inc. has a restriction regarding exterior maintenance. Once again, the<br />
restriction regarding maintenance of dwellings or exterior maintenance<br />
was not something the Board instituted but was put in place<br />
by the Developer. The restriction was put in place to ensure neat,<br />
attractive dwellings that are in harmony. Dwellings or structures<br />
not maintained or with a wide variety of colors all over the spectrum<br />
present unsightly appearance in the neighborhood. This in turn<br />
would cause property values to decline. Most sections of <strong>Glencairn</strong><br />
C.I.A., Inc. have the following restriction regarding improvements or<br />
alterations to a structure or property.<br />
“Article VII, Section 2<br />
If in the opinion of the Committee the exterior of any dwelling is in<br />
need of repair or maintenance, the Committee shall notify the Owner<br />
thereof in writing of the need of such repairs or maintenance and if<br />
such repairs or maintenance are not accomplished within thirty (30)<br />
days of said notice, then the Committee may proceed to have such<br />
repairs or maintenance work done for the account of and payment<br />
by the Owner and the Owner shall pay upon demand the Committee’s<br />
cost , together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per<br />
annum until such payment is made and reasonable attorney’s fees<br />
if referred to an attorney for collection.;”<br />
5
And<br />
“Article IV, Section 2:<br />
Architectural Control. No building shall be erected, placed or altered<br />
on any Lot until the construction plans and specifications and a plot<br />
plan showing the locations of the structure have been approved by<br />
the Architectural Control Committee, hereinafter established, as<br />
to the quality of workmanship and materials, harmony of external<br />
design with existing structures and as to location with respect to<br />
topography and finished grade elevation.”<br />
These are the Covenants and Restrictions you agreed to abide by<br />
when you purchased your property in <strong>Glencairn</strong>. Since these were<br />
established the State of Texas has passed legislation, which states:<br />
Section 204.010. (6) “Powers of Property Owners’ Associations…<br />
regulate the use, maintenance, repair, replacement, modification<br />
and appearance of the subdivision;”<br />
The majority of the aforementioned deed restriction letters should<br />
have an accompanying Architectural Change Request for the ACC<br />
committee to review, approve, disapprove or request additional<br />
information. Several past Boards and the current Board were concerned<br />
with the “in the opinion of the Committee” wording in Article<br />
VII, Section 2 of the Covenants and Restrictions. These Boards have<br />
worked on a set of ACC Guidelines that can be distributed to members<br />
in an effort to make them aware of the improvement guidelines. These<br />
guidelines also state that there is an approved color chart available<br />
at the management company office or at Sherwin Williams to select<br />
exterior paint colors. You do not have to purchase Sherwin Williams<br />
paint, if you prefer another brand, just take a sample to the store<br />
where you wish to purchase your paint from. Once again, when the<br />
color is selected, it must be submitted along with the ACC form to<br />
the committee for approval.<br />
The Association, its Board of Directors and management company<br />
have a responsibility to enforce this deed restriction. The Board believes<br />
the enforcement procedure is fair and offers property owners<br />
the opportunity to explain any problems regarding improvements<br />
or alterations to a structure or property.<br />
The management company inspects the subdivision twice a month.<br />
If there is a need for exterior maintenance observed a first class letter<br />
will be sent. Every attempt is made to be as specific as possible in an<br />
effort to help identify the violation and have it corrected. However,<br />
this does not mean each and every situation can or will be addressed.<br />
The first letter states that if there are extenuating circumstances or<br />
you believe the letter is in error, you should contact the management<br />
company. If the ACC form is returned within the ten days stipulated in<br />
the letter this serves as the response. If the ACC cannot be returned<br />
within the ten (10) days then the homeowner needs to inform the<br />
Association when the violation will be corrected. If the violation has<br />
not been corrected and we have not received any response from the<br />
owner by the subsequent inspection, certified letter is sent. A picture<br />
is taken at the time the violation(s) is observed during the second<br />
inspection. The charges for the certified letter and photo are the<br />
responsibility of the property owner in accordance with the Texas<br />
Property Code. If the violation still exists during the subsequent inspection,<br />
it is placed at Board Direction. The violation has now existed<br />
at least six weeks. The Board will inspect the property to observe the<br />
violation and will take one of three courses of action.<br />
If the maintenance is not to the structure itself or will not cause any<br />
type of damage to the structure or property, the Association may<br />
have a contractor correct the violation. The charges for enforcement<br />
of deed restrictions are the responsibility of the property owner but<br />
the Association must pay the expense up front and get reimbursed<br />
by the property owner.<br />
The Association could have the attorney send a letter to the property<br />
owner requesting the violation be corrected. There is definitely<br />
a charge associated with this avenue of enforcement. If the Board<br />
chooses to take the attorney avenue for correction of the violation<br />
and the violation is not corrected, the next step is a lawsuit. Once this<br />
step is taken, legal fees increase rapidly. The Association could send<br />
a “President’s” letter, which is a final appeal from the Association for<br />
the violation to be corrected.<br />
The Association does not want to file lawsuits for any deed restriction<br />
violations. If homeowners communicate with the Board, they have<br />
always worked with the homeowners. The same would apply in<br />
this situation. The key issue is communication. The Board is usually<br />
left with no other choice but to file a lawsuit for the majority of the<br />
exterior maintenance violations due to non-existent written communication<br />
from homeowners.<br />
Should you have any questions regarding the enforcement of deed<br />
restrictions, please feel free to contact the management company at<br />
281-855-9867 or attend the monthly member meetings. Should you<br />
care to address the Board in private, please contact the management<br />
company in writing and request to be placed on the agenda for the<br />
Executive Director Meeting. The Executive Director Meeting is held<br />
the Monday before the monthly member meetings. The member<br />
meetings take place at the Civic Center on 17030 Kieth Harrow the<br />
second Wednesday of the month at 7:30 PM.<br />
STREETLIGHTS OUT?<br />
Please report outages of streetlights to Centerpoint Energy. Get the<br />
pole number, as well as, the nearest street address and call 713-207-<br />
2222. It is very important that non-working lights are reported for the<br />
safety of each of us. Call it in, call it in!<br />
HARRIS COUNTY ALARM DETAIL<br />
In order to increase compliance and spread awareness, our office is<br />
requesting your assistance in informing residents in your community<br />
through your HOA newsletter or your scheduled HOA meetings of the<br />
need to obtain a permit for operating an alarm system, residential or<br />
business, within unincorporated Harris County. Many residents and<br />
businesses are unaware of the requirement to obtain an alarm permit<br />
once an alarm system has been installed and activated by the alarm<br />
company. Alarm systems are established and defined in the Local<br />
Government Code 233 (subchapter D), as well as the authority to<br />
regulate, adopt rules and impose penalties for unpermitted locations.<br />
Obtaining the required permit will avoid the issuance of a citation<br />
and excessive false alarm fees. The fee for current permit issuance<br />
is $35 with a yearly renewal fee of $10. All permit fees are waived for<br />
senior citizens 65 years or older. Under current guidelines, a permitted<br />
location is allowed five (5) free false alarms annually. Any subsequent<br />
false alarms during your permitted year are subject to a $75 fine that<br />
is billed to the permit holder’s address. If a site has an active alarm<br />
system, yet does not have a permit to operate such alarm, a false<br />
alarm may result in a Class C citation, which could range up to $500.<br />
Should you or your residents require a copy of the permit application<br />
form or would like to review the regulations regarding permit<br />
requirements, you may do so by visiting the Harris County Sheriff’s<br />
Office website at www.hcso.hctx./net. The application can be printed<br />
from the website, then completed and mailed to our office with the<br />
applicable fees. We are currently in the planning stages of making<br />
the application and payment process available on-line for the convenience<br />
to the public. Should you have any questions, please contact<br />
the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Alarm Detail at 713-755-4600 M-F,<br />
8 AM - 5 PM. If you would like any of our Alarm Detail personnel to<br />
attend one of your HOA meetings, we would be glad to attend and<br />
answer as many questions as possible.<br />

BEST OUTDOOR EXERCISE ACTIVITIES<br />
Sports are generally designed to be leisure activities, but you<br />
can turn your favorite outdoor sports and recreational activities<br />
into exercise. As a result, you can use the sports and activities<br />
to improve your fitness level. The five best sports and recreational<br />
activities for exercise improve your overall fitness level<br />
by building strength and endurance while burning calories and<br />
excess body fat.<br />
Cross-Country Skiing: Cross-country skiing is a winter outdoor<br />
sport and recreational activity that combines skiing and hiking.<br />
The natural motion used in cross-country skiing provides an allaround<br />
aerobic workout. Each motion incorporates the shoulders,<br />
back, chest, core and legs, resulting in the ability to burn about<br />
600 to 900 calories per hour.<br />
Backpacking: The simplicity of strapping on a pack and hitting the<br />
trail makes backpacking one of the five best outdoor sports and<br />
recreational activities for exercise. Regardless of the intensity and<br />
duration of the backpacking trip, you burn a significant amount<br />
of calories while experiencing the great outdoors. Backpacking<br />
for one hour can burn about 600 to 700 calories per hour while<br />
building lower body strength and stamina.<br />
Running: Running is a classic outdoor sport and recreational<br />
activity and one of the best for building endurance, stamina and<br />
muscular fitness while burning calories. Running at 8 mph can<br />
burn more than 1,000 calories per hour and you can increase<br />
that amount with rugged outdoor terrain, such as hills or trails.<br />
Cycling: Learning how to ride a bike is a rite of passage for kids,<br />
but cycling can provide a lifetime of exercise and fitness. You<br />
can take the bike on paved roads or trails along with off-road<br />
trails to experience remote locations in the mountains or forests.<br />
Along with burning about 400 calories per hour, cycling builds<br />
lower body strength while improving balance, coordination and<br />
cardiovascular fitness.<br />
Swimming: Swimming is known for providing a low-impact total<br />
body workout, but it’s also one of the top outdoor sports. You<br />
can vary your swimming activity from freestyle swimming to aqua<br />
aerobics in the outdoor pool or local lake. Swimming is a common<br />
alternative to running, cycling or hiking when the weather turns<br />
hot. One hour of swimming burns about 600 to 700 calories and<br />
improves endurance, strength and coordination.<br />

ANIMAL INFORMATION<br />
5 STEPS TO A<br />
HAPPIER HEALTHIER PET<br />
1. Protect your pet from extreme<br />
weather (heat, cold, rain, etc.).<br />
2. Keep indoors or in a fenced yard<br />
and on a leash when walked.<br />
3. Make sure they’re up to date with<br />
vaccinations.<br />
4. Always make sure they’re wearing<br />
identification, so they<br />
can be returned to you if lost.<br />
5. Spay or neuter your pet.<br />
Texas Lab Rescue has labs available<br />
that are waiting to go to their forever<br />
home. Please check out their<br />
website at<br />
txlabrescue.org.<br />
SCOOPAGE PET POOPAGE<br />
It may not be a fabulous way to<br />
walk, but please have courtesy to<br />
please scoop when your pet poops during your walks. Throughout the<br />
community trails, you will find areas to toss your pet’s poopage and in<br />
some areas, there are also bags. Carry your own grocery bags - you’ll be<br />
recycling at the same time! Many of your neighbors work hard with their<br />
lawncare and landscaping. Come with a scooper and a recycled grocery<br />
bag or anything else. Picking up after your pets shows your respect for<br />
every homeowner and our beautiful community. Pet feces damages<br />
lawns and many residents are working hard to maintaining their grass!<br />
PREVENT EXCESSIVE BARKING!<br />
Dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and restless. Many find relief<br />
in barking. Some respond noisily to any and all activity. Nothing is as<br />
annoying as incessant barking-even for dog lovers. If your dog is a yapper<br />
or a yowler, please consider some of these bark-abatement ideas to keep<br />
the noise down in your area. Your neighbors will thank you!<br />
• Training. Training not only helps your dog, you’ll be surprised how<br />
much it helps you, too. You may get some insight into why your dog<br />
barks so much, or what it is trying to communicate.<br />
• Citronella collars.<br />
• Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing an outspoken dog indoors<br />
or confining it to a crate cuts down on the disturbance to neighbors.<br />
• For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close drapes to help muffle street<br />
noise, or leave a radio on to mask it.<br />
• Companionship. Dogs are pack animals; they need companionship-a<br />
cat, bird or another dog. Consider a mid-day visit from a pet-sitting<br />
service or drop your pooch off at a friend’s place or a day-care facility<br />
once or twice a week.<br />
HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW<br />
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents.<br />
While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at<br />
someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children<br />
are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could result in the<br />
child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.<br />
Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept<br />
under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County,<br />
Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor<br />
or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become<br />
a stray.”<br />

CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH and WELLNESS CENTER<br />
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following<br />
circumstances:<br />
1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6)<br />
feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being,<br />
who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat<br />
in question<br />
2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle<br />
3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does<br />
not have access to sidewalk or street.”<br />
While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you<br />
work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly<br />
restrained.<br />
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for<br />
all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only<br />
protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also<br />
the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued<br />
for failing to properly restrain their pet.<br />

There are many different levels of bird watching from the casual observer<br />
to professionals whose goal is to see as many of the 8,850 species<br />
as possible. In North America there are approximately 800 species.<br />
Some people use nothing more than the naked eye to observe and<br />
others spend thousands of dollars on binoculars, telescopes, cameras,<br />
video and audio equipment, tripods and field guides. “Birding” as<br />
it’s sometimes called, is also a competitive event and there are both<br />
national and international organizations.<br />
Some of the best bird watching, perhaps in the world, is in the Houston<br />
area. Approximately 570 types of birds either call this area home and<br />
are permanent residents or are migratory and just pass through on<br />
their way to some other destination.<br />
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a great resource for anyone interested<br />
in birds. If you ever have a problem identifying a bird, their free Merlin<br />
Bird ID app is a must-have. According to Cornell, “If you can snap a<br />
bird photo with your phone - or even take a photo of another photo -<br />
chances are Merlin can help you ID it.”<br />
Birds face the same threat as almost all other wild animals and that is<br />
habitat loss. Trees, brush and grasslands are being destroyed to make<br />
way for roads and buildings. The best way to help our feathered friends<br />
is to replace some of what has been lost. Plant trees and shrubs using<br />
native plants, minimize pesticide use, set up nest boxes, provide water<br />
12 <strong>Glencairn</strong> News | <strong>March</strong> <strong>2017</strong>
and keep your cats indoors. Leave some dying and/or dead trees on your<br />
property. Many species depend on cavities in these trees for nest sites.<br />
Next to habitat loss, the next highest cause of bird deaths is collisions<br />
with windows. Covering windows with screening or applying decals or<br />
tape to windows can help significantly. Make sure to check the web for<br />
instructions on how to apply these safeguards.<br />
TWRC Wildlife Center is gearing up for another busy spring. If you’d like<br />
to help us feed and care for orphaned baby birds, details will be available<br />
soon on our website at www.twrcwildlifecenter.org or you can call<br />

The fictional dark comedy film features a unique twist on a bank robbery<br />
and was partially filmed at the Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union Jones<br />
Road location through a partnership with Cy-Fair FCU President/CEO<br />
Cameron Dickey. Cypress Ranch audio/video production (AVP) teacher<br />
Dustin Boucher worked with student filmmakers Ricky Martinez, Jake<br />

As part of the partnership, the students also worked with Cy-Fair FCU<br />
to create a commercial promoting the credit union’s new virtual teller<br />
machines (VTMs). CFISD teachers Boucher, Jacob, Butch Stephens of<br />
Cypress Park, Sherry Frank of Cypress Falls and Lori Andrade of Cypress<br />
Woods assisted in the production of the commercial.<br />
Dickey made a cameo in the film as the bank manager. “Working with<br />
this amazingly talented group of storytellers at CFISD Cinema - students,<br />
teachers, credit union employees (and even a cameo by the Cy-Fair<br />
Houston Chamber of Commerce President Leslie Martone) - it is one<br />
of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had. “What they came up with is<br />
just so fun, silly and enjoyable,” Dickey said. “Everyone that has seen<br />
it has said it made them laugh out loud. The video truly exceeded our<br />
wildest expectations.”<br />
The students’ video will be unveiled at the Texas High School Shorts<br />
competition. Cy-Fair FCU’s new VTV commercial is now live on its You-<br />

CFISD DANCE TEAMS PARTICIPATE IN SUPER BOWL 51 HALFTIME PERFORMANCE<br />
Dance team members representing the Cy-Fair Brigade, Cypress Lakes<br />
Sterling Stars and the Jersey Village Gold Dusters participated in the<br />
Super Bowl 51 halftime performance at NRG Stadium on February<br />
5 th . Selected groups began rehearsing for the performance in the<br />
evenings at various Houston area stadiums, including NRG stadium.<br />
In total, students attended six rehearsals leading up to the event.<br />
As part of the performance requirements, students and directors<br />
were required to sign nondisclosure statements prohibiting them<br />
from discussing or sharing information regarding the halftime performance,<br />
which featured recording artist Lady Gaga.<br />
“Besides the halftime performance, we were then asked to be among<br />
the three schools that created the pre-game visuals. Being within 100<br />
feet of President and Mrs. Bush, the award-winning cast of Hamilton<br />
and Luke Bryan allowed our students to act out many of the life-long<br />
lessons that dance/drill team teaches: professionalism, work ethic<br />
and determination to give 100 percent at all times! I am truly grateful<br />
and thankful to our dancers and all of the time they devoted to this<br />
event, our administration for giving us tremendous support and our<br />
community for showing us how proud they are of these young ladies!<br />
This has been a dream come true!”<br />

Leaders and Daughters are looking forward to the fun of our annual<br />
Leader/Daughter weekend. This is a time for leaders to spend some<br />
special time with their OWN daughters. Rock climbing, kayaking<br />
and horseback riding are only some of the activities offered. The<br />
Dutch oven cook-off (and eating the results!) and the talent show are<br />
fun parts of this weekend that we look forward to every year. A Girl<br />
Planning meeting is being held to plan our spring Community outdoor<br />
event. Girl representatives from all levels will get together to make<br />
decisions about the kind of event and to plan activities. Girl planning<br />
is a very important part of Girl Scouting and even our youngest Daisy<br />
Girl Scouts get involved.<br />
<strong>Glencairn</strong> News | <strong>March</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

Region 4 has been offering a series of opportunities for Cadettes,<br />
Seniors and Ambassadors, including Program Aide training and Red<br />
Cross babysitting. Older girls from Copper Creek Meadows join with<br />
girls from neighboring communities to plan and participate in these<br />
activities. The <strong>2017</strong> catalog for day, twilight and resident camp will be<br />
coming out soon. Camp is a great opportunity to learn new skills and<br />
make new friends. Where else can you learn all those camp songs and<br />
wear crazy socks and hats?<br />
Cadette troop 16468 hosted a movie night and panel discussion to<br />
increase awareness of the importance of girls’ access to education.<br />
Those who attended watched the movie “He Named Me Mahala.” The<br />
movie is about Mahala Yousafzai, the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize<br />
Laureate. At the age of15, she was wounded by Taliban gunmen. She is<br />
an educational activist in Pakistan and campaigner for the worldwide<br />
rights of children.<br />
Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important<br />
as individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal<br />
responsibility and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard<br />
decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and the<br />
right choices can be made.<br />
Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21.<br />
Scouting through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and<br />
life skills which help our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced<br />
by the BSA Sam Houston Area Counsel - Copperhead District<br />
which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 13<br />
Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing units<br />
(boys and girls from 14 to 21).<br />
Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />
Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools<br />
including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway,<br />
Holmsley, Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma,<br />

CORNERSTONE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH<br />
ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE, MARCH 1 ST AT 7 PM<br />
Ash Wednesday is the first day of the Season of<br />
Lent occurring forty days (excluding Sundays) before<br />
Good Friday. It is traditionally a time for worshippers<br />
to gather together with penitent hearts<br />
to have their foreheads marked with a cross of<br />
ashes in an act of penance and contrition before<br />
the Lord. On Wednesday evening, <strong>March</strong> 1 st at 7<br />
PM, we will be having an Ash Wednesday worship<br />
celebration. This service will include the marking<br />
of ashes on each worshippers head followed by a<br />
quiet time of reflection at the altar. In addition, as<br />
we do each Ash Wednesday service, there will be<br />
something “extra” to illustrate God’s forgiveness<br />
of our sins. Special music will be provided by the<br />
Chancel Choir. This will be a meaningful service<br />
and everyone is invited to attend. Cornerstone<br />
United Methodist Church is located at 18081 West<br />

Force. All ages are invited to participate. We will<br />
explore the many spiritual themes that weave<br />
throughout the Star Wars films. From the Force<br />
to the dark side, the issues presented in the films<br />
have a moral and spiritual complexity that, if paid<br />
attention to, can help us better understand our<br />
place in the world and our relation to others and<br />
to God. Through Forty Days in the Force we hope<br />
to see the challenges and victories in our everyday<br />
Christian life. There will always be a teacher and a<br />
student and there will always be evil, but thanks<br />
to God and his Son, there will always be good<br />
and we will always have a purpose. Nursery will<br />
be provided for infants and toddlers. Star Wars<br />
activities will be provided for preschoolers. Those<br />
ages 6 through 106 will explore the force together.<br />

MARCH GARDENING TIPS<br />
VEGETABLES<br />
• Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans and<br />
pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, cantaloupe, okra (if<br />
the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or higher), southern peas,<br />
pumpkin, squash, peanuts and watermelon.<br />
LAWN<br />
• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this part of Texas<br />
and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).<br />
• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY the<br />
variety Floratam for best pest resistance.<br />
See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.<br />
TREES AND SHRUBS<br />
• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible. In shady<br />
areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a dependable<br />
groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of the<br />
prostrate junipers.<br />
• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early <strong>March</strong>. However,<br />
be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have bloomed.<br />
• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer analysis<br />
such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet of garden<br />
planting area. Early <strong>March</strong> is the ideal time to fertilize landscape plants<br />
because you give them food just before the spring growing season starts.<br />
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, also called RodeoHouston<br />
or abbreviated HLSR, is one of the largest live entertainment and<br />
livestock exhibitions. It also includes one of the richest regular-season<br />
rodeo events. It has been held at NRG Stadium in Houston,<br />
Texas, since 2003. It was previously held in the Astrodome. It is<br />
considered to be the city’s “signature event,” much like New Orleans’s<br />
Mardi Gras, Dallas’s Texas State Fair, San Diego’s Comic-Con<br />
and New York City’s New Year’s Eve at Times Square.<br />

GO TEXAN DAY<br />
The Friday before the Parade,<br />
<strong>March</strong> 3, <strong>2017</strong>, is<br />
also known as “Go Texan<br />
Day,” where the entire<br />
population of Houston is<br />
encouraged to dress in<br />
Western attire, such as<br />
jeans, cowboy boots and<br />
cowboy hats. While the<br />
concept was discussed in<br />
1938 by the General Manager<br />
of the Houston Chamber<br />
of Commerce, it was not<br />
until the 1950’s that it finally<br />
was put into practice.<br />
In 1954, Archer Romero<br />
chaired the first Go Texan<br />
Committee to encourage<br />
what would later become<br />
a Houston tradition during<br />
the rodeo.<br />

RODEO HISTORY/FACTS<br />
RODEO PARADE<br />
In 1937, planning had begun for the first Rodeo Parade leading up to<br />
the 1938 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The first parade was<br />
headed by Mounted Police and various dignitaries on the city, county<br />
and state levels, who also rode horseback. There were two bands with<br />
a Drum and Bugle Corp.<br />
In 1952, the Salt Grass Trail ride was the first trail ride that was formed<br />
by only a few men. The following year, the publicity from that ride<br />
attracted more people to join.<br />
All of the Trail Riders converge on Memorial Park to camp out for the<br />
night before heading down Memorial Drive to where it empties out onto<br />
Texas Ave to line up for the parade.<br />
The parade has approximately 115 different groups joining in the festivities.<br />
There are 15 trail rides, 20 floats, 15 commercial wagons and<br />
stagecoaches and 10 to 15 university and high-school marching bands<br />
in addition to Show officials, other elected officials and dignitaries on<br />
horseback and in vehicles.<br />
TRAIL RIDES<br />
The Trail Rides (cavalcades) are a long tradition with the rodeo and<br />
gather at Memorial Park to camp for a rest and party before the big<br />
Annual Rodeo Parade through Downtown Houston.<br />

WORLD’S CHAMPIONSHIP BAR-B-QUE CONTEST<br />
The World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest, also simply known as<br />
“The Cookoff,” started in 1974 and has consistently drawn massive attendance<br />
numbers for the three-day event, drawing a record 264,132 visitors<br />
in 2013. It takes place on the southern parking lot of NRG Stadium, with<br />
over 350 teams participating every year and is generally considered a<br />
“Hot Ticket,” as most are for members or by invitation only. While the<br />
event is open to the general public, those that can get into the tents are<br />
generally allowed an unlimited amount of food and beverages.<br />
THE CALF SCRAMBLE<br />
Since the addition of the event in 1942, it has been one of the more<br />
popular events during the actual rodeo. The event features 14 calves and<br />
28 students who must try to capture one of the calves, put a halter on<br />
it and bring it back into the “winners square” in order to claim the win.<br />
One of the rules is that as long as a contestant is actually in the act of<br />
holding the calf (i.e. Holding it by the tail) to get the halter on, no other<br />
participant may interfere unless the calf wriggles itself free. It’s at this<br />
point where the calf is fair game once again. The event is held nightly<br />
between major events in the Reliant Stadium. Each of the students who<br />
catch a calf is awarded a $1,250 certificate to purchase a registered beef<br />
heifer. Raising and showing this heifer becomes a yearlong project as<br />
the scrambler sees to the grooming, feeding and care of the animal. The<br />
exhibitor returns to the Houston Livestock Show the following year for a<br />
special competition. Calf Scramble exhibitors receive a $250 bonus when<br />
they return to compete with their heifer, totaling their $1,500 certificate.<br />
A similar events for youngsters is Mutton Bustin’, for 5 and 6-year-olds,<br />
who try to ride on top of a sheep for eight seconds.<br />
Rodeo Houston also features the traditional rodeo events of bull riding,<br />
bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, team roping, steer wrestling, calf<br />
roping, barrel racing (women only) and chuck wagon racing.<br />
TRANSPORTATION<br />
With between 60,000 and 150,000 people attending the rodeo each day,<br />
every year, the city’s transportation infrastructure is taxed as it must<br />
also compete with regular Houston Rush Hour on regular business days.<br />
There are a variety of ways into and out of the complex that include Park<br />
and Ride lots in certain parts of the city that are provided by the event as<br />
an express straight onto the property, Taxi, Self Parking, and METRORail.<br />
The Coordinators of the event try to persuade attendees to use public<br />
transportation as the most convenient way to and from the Rodeo.<br />
