APRIL OBSERVANCES & FUN FACTS 

Birthstone: Diamond/Flower: Daisy or Sweet Pea 

Pisces Aries (March 21 st -April 20 th )/Taurus (April 21 st -May 20 th ) 

April was formerly the second month in the ancient Roman year, 

when March began the calendar. The real origin of its name has 

been lost. The most common theory is that Aprilis is derived from 

the Latin verb Aperire, to open, as the opening or blossoming, 

of trees and flowers.

CONSIDERING GETTING A NEW DOG? 

…or if you know friends and family who are, 

please consider and suggest rescuing vs. buying 

a dog from a breeder. We have every breed of 

purebred dog available in our Texas pounds and 

shelters, in great quantities. 

This is because of the complete lack of any regulations 

or limit on breeding in Texas. 

• Approximately 30-40% of euthanasias in 

pounds involve purebred animals. 

• Mixed breeds in Texas stand almost no chance 

of making it out of the pounds alive. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these dogs; 

they just had the misfortune of being owned by people who did not provide for their 

needs and care and obviously had no real commitment to their pet. 

• Countless numbers of people turn their own dogs in to high-kill shelters, dump them 

rurally in the middle of nowhere or let them roam and stray. It reflects a mentality that 

most dog lovers do not understand. 

• When you or someone you know considers adopting a dog, please check out one of 

our five local animal shelters: 

1. BARC - Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care 

i.e. Houston’s animal control or city pound 

2. Harris County Animal Control 

3. Houston SPCA 

4. Houston Humane Society

FUN FACTS ABOUT EASTER CELEBRATIONS 

As a celebration that includes chocolate and bunnies, Easter is at the top of my favorite 

holiday list. Check out these fun facts about the religious holiday turned commercial 

powerhouse. 

• The tallest Easter egg chocolate was made in Italy in 2011. 

It stood at 10.39 meters and weighed an astounding 7,200 kg. 

• The art of painting eggs is called pysanka, which originated 

in Ukraine 

• The term Easter gets its name from Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess 

who symbolizes the hare and the egg. 

• The exchange or giving of Easter eggs actually dates back to before 

Easter and the giving of eggs is actually considered a symbol of 

rebirth in many cultures.

• Americans buy more than 700 million marshmallow Peeps during

not twice, but three times. 

• Seventy-six percent of people eat the ears on the chocolate 

bunny first, 5 percent go for the feet and 4 percent for the tail. 

• During the holiday, more than 90 million chocolate bunnies, 91.4 

billion eggs and 700 million Peeps are produced each year in

• Next to Halloween, Easter is the biggest candy-consuming holiday 

of the year. 

• An estimated $14.7 billion is spent in total for Easter in the US.

HEALTH NUMBERS TO KNOW NOW 

Take control of your health by learning these six numbers; they’ll help 

with everything from losing weight to protecting your heart: 

1) Daily calorie needs: Most women need 2,000 calories a day for good 

health and men generally need about 2,550. One way to work out your 

daily calorie needs is to multiply your weight in pounds by 13 to 15, 

depending on your activity level. But roughly, that’s 300 to 400 calories 

for breakfast, 500 to 600 for lunch, 600 to 700 for dinner and two or three 

snacks of roughly 100 to 200 calories each. Trying to lose weight? Eat 

roughly 500 calories less. 

2) Waist size: For women, health risk begins to rise when your waist is 

more than 35 inches. For men, risk increases with a measurement when 

your waist is over 40 inches. 

3) LDLs & HDLs: Aim for total cholesterol below 5.2 mmol/l (below 5 

mmol/l if you have heart disease or diabetes) and LDL cholesterol levels 

below 3.5 mmol/l or below 2 mmol/l if you have a history of heart 

disease. A healthy HDL level is 1.3 mmol/l or above. 

4) Blood pressure: A reading of 140/90 mm Hg or more is considered 

high and if it’s between 120/80 and 139/89, you may still be at risk and 

should be taking steps to prevent the development of hypertension. 

5) Triglyceride levels: A normal triglyceride reading is less than 1.7 

mmol/l. Your doctor will advise you how often you should have your 

triglycerides checked. 

6) Morning pulse rate: a normal resting pulse rate is 60 to 90 beats per 

minute. People who are fit tend to have lower resting pulse rates because 

their heart muscles are in good shape. But if you don’t exercise 

regularly and your heart rate is lower than the normal range, tell your 

doctor-it could be a sign of heart disease.

GOLDEN EAGLES CLINCH 

FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP 

IN SCHOOL HISTORY 

The Cypress Falls High School boys’ basketball 

team came back from a first-half deficit 

and survived a late-game run by San Antonio 

Wagner to win the school’s first-ever UIL Class 

6A state championship, 63-57, on March 11 th 

at the Alamodome in San Antonio. 

The Golden Eagles (35-3) capped a historic 

season in dramatic fashion, rebounding 

from a 19-11 disadvantage to take control in 

the second and third quarters and distance 

themselves from the Thunderbirds. 

The Cypress Falls Golden Eagles display their 2017 state championship trophy. 

Wagner came within 3 points in the fourth 

quarter, but clutch free-throw shooting from 

Cypress Falls (32 of 40 for 80 percent) sealed 

the result. 

Cypress Falls High School junior Nigel Hawkins was named the MVP with an 18-point, 

4-steal performance in which he shot 10 of 12 from the free-throw line. 

Junior teammate Trajan Wesley led all scorers with 20 points on an emotional date. 

His late mother, Monica, passed away 10 years ago to the day on March 11, 2007. “I 

can’t explain it,” he said. “Even though she couldn’t be here, she was here in spirit. 

This is for her.” 

Championship MVP Cypress Falls junior guard Nigel Hawkins. 

“It was a great moment for our kids, but also for our fans,” Coach Flores said. “It 

was great to see so much green and gold out there and the support we had. A lot of 

people drove in today just to see this game. They stepped up for us.”

HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY REV’S UP TOWARDS THE PLAYOFFS 

What is a fast paced hard hitting game so often termed, “THE COOLEST 

GAME IN TOWN” and is played in the Cypress area? You got it, High School 

Hockey…. and did you know that there are 10 teams and over 200 High 

School players in the Houston area that lace up the skates and drop the 

puck every weekend in the Greater Houston area? 

Hockey is a blend of speed, agility, strength and endurance with hard hits 

and graceful scorers. Hockey takes the hand eye coordination of baseball, 

the equipment and pads and hard hits from football and combines 

it with the skill of skating on a ¼ blade of steel to create what is some of 

the most entertaining action in sports today. Most players started skating 

at the age of 5 and are now High School athletes playing games every 

weekend with High School Varsity Action. A select few of the players carry 

the desire to another level playing on the local Houston Wild Travel Teams 

facing other teams from the Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Oklahoma 

areas. The desire and drive of these WARRIORS ON ICE is showcased 

every weekend from October to March with High School Varsity Action. 

The Interscholastic Hockey League or “ISHL” as its commonly known is a 

Houston Area High School Hockey League made up of a North and South 

division. The High School Varsity teams are comprised of either all players 

coming from one school or as a “blended” team which combines skaters 

from several schools. There are 5 teams in the ISHL North Division with 

4 playing their home games at the Willowbrook Aerodrome. The North 

Division teams are a blended team Fair Creek along with Cy-Woods, 

Woodlands, Klein and Brazos Valley. The South Division teams play their 

home games at the Sugarland Ice Arena in Sugarland. The South Division 

is made up of 5 teams, Cinco Ranch, Pearland/Friendswood, Memorial 

West, Seven Lakes and Clement/Ridgepoint. 

The team holding the overall league leading record is Fair Creek 

whose players reside mainly in the Cypress area with 4 players 

from Cy-Fair HS, 2 from Cy-Creek HS, 2 from Langham Creek HS, 2 

from Cy-Ridge HS and 1 from Cy-Springs HS. In addition, there are 9 

players drafted from other schools (Tomball, Magnolia, Kingwood, 

Conroe and Humble). The Fair Creek team is led “locally” on the 

ice by CFISD Students Seniors Jaxon Sharp and Gail Snyder from 

Cy-Creek HS, Juniors Tyler McLeroy, Brandon Roskey and Brother 

Jonathon Roskey and Goalie Evan Ruonavaara all from Cy Fair High 

School, Juniors Caleb Newport and Grant Marconi from Langham 

Creek HS, Junior Grayson Slagle and Freshman Joey Epplin from 

Cy-Ridge HS and Sophomore Brendan Oglesby. Fair Creek’s team 

scoring leader is Sam Robinson from Kingwood HS and whose brother 

Jake Robinson also plays for the team. Fair Creek is led on the ice 

by the ISHL’S All Time Winningest Coach Paul St Amand with long 

time Assistant Coach Russ DiRaimo and 3 rd year Coach Jeff Smith. 

The final regular league games were played on Friday Night, February 

17 th with 2 STRONG matchups featuring 1 st Place Fair Creek 

going against 2 nd place Cy-Woods and immediately following was 

a matchup of #4 Cinco Ranch going against #6 Klein, both games 

were played at the Willowbrook Aerodrome. 

The exciting ISHL playoffs culminated with one team being crowned 

the 2017 CITY of HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPION. The playoffs 

ran from February 24 th through March 10 th , with the playoff matchups 

determined once the regular season games are completed. For more 

information on standings and statistics, check out the ISHL website 

at www.ishl.org or call the Willowbrook Aerodrome at 281-847-5283.

GARDENING TIPS FOR APRIL 

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging 

helps eliminate a great many pests that 

die from various causes while in the bag. 

When you buy ‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to 

your home, you are also buying ants, roaches, 

termites, etc… Spend a little more on 

bagged material and save lots of future pest 

problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” 

below the top of your homes exposed foundation 

edge/side. This will aid in minimizing 

pests in your home and allow for quick and 

accurate termite inspections. 

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all 

shrubs/plants at least 12” - 18” back from 

your home. Do your best to create a plant 

free zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your 

home. The exception is your lawn - it can 

grow up next to the slab as long as you keep 

it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most 

conducive to termite infestation are groundcover 

plantings, growing high against your 

homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows 

on your walls. 

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. 

The spring spray eliminates overwintering 

pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist 

the pest onslaught of summer with residual 

pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests from 

the summer, prevents most fungi from occurring 

over the winter and puts your valuable 

asset off to a healthy winter’s dormancy. 

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide 

treatment to stop brown patch in its 

tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is 

thin and weak in some areas, here are some 

important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b) 

fertilization c) weed control. 

Most important is proper watering: 

• Water once per week 

(unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - 

then do not water.) 

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total 

lawn coverage. 

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day. 

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - 

NOT AT NIGHT. 

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes 

the turf grow deeper, stronger and 

more drought resistant roots. 

• Less watering also saves you money!!

ANIMAL INFORMATION 

SCOOPAGE PET POOPAGE 

It may not be a fabulous way to walk, but please have courtesy to 

please scoop when your pet poops during your walks. Throughout 

the community trails, you will find areas to toss your pet’s poopage 

and in some areas, there are also bags. Carry your own grocery bags 

- you’ll be recycling at the same time! Many of your neighbors work 

hard with their lawncare and landscaping. Come with a scooper 

and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. Picking up after your 

pets shows your respect for every homeowner and our beautiful 

community. Pet feces damages lawns and many residents are 

working hard to maintaining their grass! 

VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION 

(Formerly called Harris County Animal Control) 

The Veterinary Public Health Division posts photos of all animals 

found on their website and updates it twice daily. If you have lost 

your pet, please check this website, www.hcphes.org/vph. 

Have you lost a pet? 

Start your search immediately, don't wait to make flyers. 

Contact all possible animal control or animal welfare agencies in the 

area. Visit each location at least every other day. 

Call your pet’s veterinarian and the microchip company to make sure 

they have current contact information for you. A citizen may try to 

call the veterinarian’s office or microchip company themselves from 

your pet’s tags. 

Call all the veterinarians in your area to alert them to the description 

of your lost pet in case someone brings it to their clinic. 

Check with your neighbors, especially families with children 

and ask if they’ve seen a pet that looks like yours. 

Search your neighborhood on foot, your pet maybe be nearby 

but is injured and unable to get back home. 

Leave a towel or article of clothing with your scent on it outside of 

your home. Your pet may be disorientated and will be attracted by 

your scent. 

Have you found a pet? 

First, think of the animal as lost and not abandoned and make every 

effort to reunite the animal to an owner. 

Contact the HCPH VPH office by telephone and report the animal 

as found. 

Bring the animal to the HCPH VPH facility or check with a local veterinarian 

to scan the animal for a microchip. 

Return to the place where you found the animal and put up a found 

pet poster near that location. 

If you find the owner, especially off a newspaper or website posting, 

ask them to provide a picture of the animal and meet in a public 

place like a police station. 

More information about Microchips & Microchip companies 

A microchip is a small device (size of a grain of rice) that is permanent 

and implanted with a needle under the skin of pets. 

Pets do not have to be given any pain medication or anesthesia 

to implant a microchip. 

Microchips are not likely to move or need repair if implanted correctly. 

Microchips, when scanned, show a unique code. The microchip 

must be registered with the corresponding microchip manufacture 

to record any owner and animal data. 

Microchips do not work like GPS locators or LoJack and cannot give 

a signal to find the location of your lost pet.

HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW 

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. 

While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running 

at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many 

children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could 

result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal. 

Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County Animal Control) 

advises that “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while 

in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of 

a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed 

dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.” 

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following 

circumstances: 

1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in 

length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable 

of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question

Featured Recipe 

We are asking you to send your favorite recipe with a little story behind 

it. Each month we will select one or two recipes to featured in our 

newsletters. If you have a photo of the dish or who makes it special send 

along with the recipe to 

recipes@krenekprinting.com 

This month’s selection is Crawfish Fettuccine. 

I had this delicious dish when I attended my brother’s wedding in Canton, 

Mississippi. The event took place in September of 2004 with hurricane 

Francis coming ashore. I almost didn’t get out of Houston because 

of the major rain that hit here as well as Canton. 

We attended a wedding luncheon in a truly old southern home where 

the meal was prepared by some sweet southern women. There was so 

much southern charm and the food was outstanding. After asking for 

the recipe I received it in the mail by one of those sweet ladies. 

With crawfish season here I thought I would share. Enjoy! 

J. Stults 

CRAWFISH FETTUCCINE 

2 sticks butter 

3 onions chopped 

2 bell peppers chopped 

3 stalks celery, chopped 

3# peeled crawfish tails or Shrinp 

3 cloves garlic, minced 

1 TBS. chopped parsley 

1/2 cup flour 

1 pint Half & Half 

1# Velveeta, cubed 

24 oz. Fettucine 

Chicken broth 

1/4 cup chopped jalapenos (optional) 

Melt butter and saute onions, peppers & celery until tender. Add crawfish, 

simmer 10 min. stirring occasionally. Add garlic, parsley, flour and 

cream - mix well. Simmer on low heat 30 min. stirring occasionally. Add 

cheese & stir until melted. 

Meanwhile cook noodles in chicken broth and creole seasoning, drain 

and combine with sauce. Pour into 2 - 3 quart greased casseroles. 

Bake uncovered @ 300 degrees 20 minutes or until heated. 

Freezes well - 18-20 servings. 

If you like a little extra kick add jalapenos to sauce. Also if you freeze it 

and it seems stiff or dry when you reheat it, add about 1/4 cup Brandy 

or any liquid will return texture. 

TIP: If using frozen crawfish be sure to thaw and rinse before adding to 

mixture.
