Settler’s <strong>Village</strong> | <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong>


DOLORES SUE, LONG-TIME PROPERTY MANAGER<br />

FOR SETTLERS VILLAGE, PASSES AWAY<br />

Evelyn Dolores Sue of Katy, Texas passed away unexpectedly on<br />

March 14, <strong>2017</strong> at the age of 63 in Houston, Texas. Dolores was<br />

the property manager for <strong>Settlers</strong> <strong>Village</strong> for so long, most of<br />

the neighborhood's residents did not know there was ever any<br />

other. Dolores was instrumental in the renaissance of <strong>Settlers</strong><br />

when the neighbood had only 400 homes and was the furthermost<br />

neighborhood in the northwest part of county. She fiercly<br />

defended the neighborhoods she represented and ultimately<br />

proved herself to be a loyal friend. She brought joy, laughter,<br />

and love to everyone she knew. She will remain forever in the<br />

hearts of her family and friends.<br />

FROM YOUR HOA BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />

Please take a moment to visit the neighborhood’s new website located<br />

at www.settlersvillagehoa.com. The Board is very interested in any and<br />

all feedback.<br />

There will be signs posted at the park/pool shortly to give all interested<br />

parties notification that the area is being monitored via surveillance<br />

cameras.<br />

Please also remember the rules regarding personal sign postings.<br />

Because your HOA is now responsible for the upkeep of sign and light<br />

poles, placing of private signs of any type onto county owned sign poles<br />

or Centerpoint owned light poles is expressly prohibited. Please do not<br />

subject yourself to the embarrassment of having your signs removed<br />

by the HOA or receiving a ticket from the sheriff who now patrols the<br />

district. The HOA can now levy civil fines related to the costs of clean-up.<br />

RESIDENTS OF HARRIS COUNTY MUD 105<br />

Best Trash picks up your trash on Tuesday and Friday. Your recycle<br />

collection day will be Friday. Please have trash and recyclables out to<br />

the curb by 7 AM.<br />

On each regularly scheduled collection day, Best Trash will collect<br />

residential refuse at the curbside.<br />

Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings and fencing must be bundled in lengths<br />

no greater than 4 feet with no branch diameter larger than 4 inches and<br />

bundles weighing no more than 40 lbs. The bundling is required to allow<br />

quick pickup and size limitations are required to avoid damage to the<br />

compacting equipment.<br />

Heavy/bulky items (appliances, furniture, carpet up to 1 room rolled up 4<br />

ft. wide and weighing less than 50 lbs) will be picked up either collection<br />

day. By Federal Law, refrigerators, freezers or any other item containing<br />

Freon must have the Freon drained and have an accompanying bill to<br />

validate such service was performed.<br />

Items excluded from normal collection are dirt, rocks, bricks, tires, cement,<br />

batteries, motor or cooking oil, waste generated from a private<br />

contractor or any items deemed to be hazardous materials. Best Trash<br />

will leave a tag explaining the reasons for non-collection of the item.<br />

An enhanced feature of the new provider will allow for collection of<br />

items excluded by the contract if notified in advance. Best Trash will<br />

meet with the customer prior to collection day to determine a price to<br />

haul the non-contract items. If a resident does not notify Best Trash of<br />

such a special pick-up before its scheduled day, Best Trash will leave<br />

a notice for the resident to contact Best Trash during normal business<br />

hours before the next scheduled pick up day.<br />

The first National Autism Awareness Month was declared by the<br />

Autism Society in <strong>April</strong> 1970. The aim of this month is educate<br />

the public about autism. Autism is a complex mental condition<br />

and developmental disability, characterized by difficulties in the<br />

way a person communicates and interacts with other people.<br />

Autism can be be present from birth or form during early childhood<br />

(typically within the first three years). Autism is a lifelong<br />

developmental disability with no single known cause. People<br />

with autism are classed as having Autism Spectrum Disorder<br />

(ASD) and the terms autism and ASD are often used interchangeably.<br />

A wide spectrum disorder, people will autism have set of<br />

symptoms unique to themselves, no two people are the same.<br />

Increasing Awareness About The Common<br />

Characteristics Of Autism<br />

Whilst no two people with autism will have the same set of<br />

symptoms, there are common characteristics found in those with<br />

this complex disability. Briefly, these characteristics include:<br />

6 Settler’s <strong>Village</strong> | <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong>


Social Skills. People with autism have problems interacting with others;<br />

autistic children do not have adequate playing and talking skills. Mild<br />

symptoms on one end of the spectrum may be displayed through clumsy<br />

behavior, being out of sync with those around them and inappropriate<br />

or offensive comments being made. At the other end of the spectrum<br />

an autistic person may not be interested in others.<br />

Empathy. Empathy is the ability to recognize and understand the feelings<br />

of another person. People with autism find it harder to show empathy to<br />

others although they can be taught to acknowledge the others feelings.<br />

Physical Contact. In some cases, autistic people do not like physical<br />

contact such as hugs, tickling or physical play with others.<br />

Sudden Changes To Their Environment. A sudden change in the surrounding<br />

environment may affect a person with autism. The could be<br />

a loud noise, a change in intensity of lighting or even a change in smell.<br />

Speech. Speech can be affected in people with autism. ‘Echolalia’ is a<br />

typical speech symptom in which the person repeats words and phrases<br />

that they hear. The speech tone of an autistic person may be monotonous.<br />

Where symptoms are more extreme, the person may not speak.<br />

Changes To Behavior and Routine. People with autism often display<br />

repetitive behavior in which they repeat the same action many times<br />

over. For example, a person with autism may repeatedly pace around a<br />

room in a certain direction. Any change to their behavior or routine can<br />

be unsettling for them. This could be a reordering of daily activities such<br />

as when a person brushes their teeth, takes a shower and has breakfast<br />

when they get up in the morning. Other characteristics of autism include<br />

an unpredictable learning rate, obsessions and physical tics.<br />

Autism Is Widespread, Awareness About This Condition Is Not<br />

In the United States, autism affects 1 in every 110 children. National Autism<br />

Awareness Month aims to make the public more aware about this<br />

widespread disability and the issues which arise in the autism community.<br />

As about 1 in 150 people in America have autism, the chances are that<br />

you know someone with this disability. A better informed public will be<br />

more empathetic and supportive towards people with autism.<br />

This month is backed by the Autism Society of America ,which undertake<br />

a number of activities to raise awareness about autism. The Autism<br />

Society has local chapters throughout the United States, which hold<br />

special events throughout <strong>April</strong>. The ‘Puzzle Ribbon’ is the symbol for<br />

Autism Awareness and is promoted by the Autism Society as means of<br />

supporting awareness for autism. The Puzzle Ribbon may take the form of<br />

a pin attached to clothing, a fridge magnet or a sticker and are available<br />

to purchase from the Autism Society website.<br />

The Autism Society of America also run a year long campaign through<br />

their 1 Power 4 Autism initiative, in which people are encouraged to hold<br />

events to raise awareness and support for those affected by autism. For<br />

more information on National Autism Awareness Month visit the Austism<br />

Society’s Awareness Page.<br />

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging<br />

helps eliminate a great many pests<br />

that die from various causes while in the<br />

bag. When you buy ‘loose’ mulch that is<br />

trucked to your home, you are also buying<br />

ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little<br />

more on bagged material and save lots of<br />

future pest problems. Keep your mulch at<br />

least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes<br />

exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid<br />

in minimizing pests in your home and allow<br />

for quick and accurate termite inspections.<br />

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all<br />

shrubs/plants at least 12” - 18” back from<br />

your home. Do your best to create a plant<br />

free zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your<br />

home. The exception is your lawn - it can<br />

grow up next to the slab as long as you keep<br />

GARDENING TIPS FOR APRIL<br />

it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most<br />

conducive to termite infestation are groundcover<br />

plantings, growing high against your<br />

homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows<br />

on your walls.<br />

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually.<br />

The spring spray eliminates overwintering<br />

pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist<br />

the pest onslaught of summer with residual<br />

pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests from<br />

the summer, prevents most fungi from occurring<br />

over the winter and puts your valuable<br />

asset off to a healthy winter’s dormancy.<br />

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide<br />

treatment to stop brown patch in its<br />

tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is<br />

thin and weak in some areas, here are some<br />

important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration<br />

b) fertilization c) weed control.<br />

Most important is proper watering:<br />

• Water once per week<br />

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

then do not water.)<br />

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total<br />

lawn coverage.<br />

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day.<br />

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning -<br />

NOT AT NIGHT.<br />

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes<br />

the turf grow deeper, stronger and<br />

more drought resistant roots.<br />

• Less watering also saves you money!!<br />

ANIMAL INFORMATION<br />

SCOOPAGE PET POOPAGE<br />

It may not be a fabulous way to walk, but please have courtesy to<br />

please scoop when your pet poops during your walks. Throughout<br />

the community trails, you will find areas to toss your pet’s poopage<br />

and in some areas, there are also bags. Carry your own grocery bags<br />

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

hard with their lawncare and landscaping. Come with a scooper<br />

and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. Picking up after your<br />

pets shows your respect for every homeowner and our beautiful<br />

community. Pet feces damages lawns and many residents are<br />

working hard to maintaining their grass!<br />

BARKING DOGS<br />

While it is true that dogs are born to bark, they were not born to<br />

bark all day and night, driving your neighbors crazy. If you have<br />

a dog that must stay outside, please do what you can to limit the<br />

disturbance to your neighbors. You can find loads of information<br />

about how to control it at www.barkingdogs.net.<br />

If you are one of the neighbors suffering from the seemingly endless<br />

noise of a neighbor’s barking dog, we hope that you will be able<br />

to speak with the owner about it. In many cases, the neighbor is<br />

unaware of the situation because, for one reason, they are away<br />

during the day. If the owner is unwilling or unable to do anything<br />

about it, you can call animal control at 281-999-3191 and have<br />

them do a check on the dog for possible neglect and abuse. (They<br />

won’t always come out for the barking alone.) The Sheriff’s Dept<br />

generally cannot do anything about it and they encourage you to<br />

call animal control as well. You can also find more information<br />

about the situation by looking on the website listed above.<br />

Ideally, the neighbors will be able to work out something mutually<br />

agreeable for everyone and every dog.<br />

VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION<br />

(Formerly called Harris County Animal Control)<br />

The Veterinary Public Health Division posts photos of all animals<br />

found on their website and updates it twice daily. If you have lost<br />

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

Have you lost a pet?<br />

Start your search immediately, don't wait to make flyers.<br />

Contact all possible animal control or animal welfare agencies in the<br />

area. Visit each location at least every other day.<br />

Call your pet’s veterinarian and the microchip company to make sure<br />

they have current contact information for you. A citizen may try to<br />

call the veterinarian’s office or microchip company themselves from<br />

your pet’s tags.<br />

Call all the veterinarians in your area to alert them to the description<br />

of your lost pet in case someone brings it to their clinic.<br />

Check with your neighbors, especially families with children<br />

and ask if they’ve seen a pet that looks like yours.<br />

Search your neighborhood on foot, your pet maybe be nearby<br />

but is injured and unable to get back home.<br />

Leave a towel or article of clothing with your scent on it outside of<br />

your home. Your pet may be disorientated and will be attracted by<br />

your scent.<br />

Have you found a pet?<br />

First, think of the animal as lost and not abandoned and make every<br />

effort to reunite the animal to an owner.<br />

Contact the HCPH VPH office by telephone and report the animal<br />

as found.<br />

Bring the animal to the HCPH VPH facility or check with a local veterinarian<br />

to scan the animal for a microchip.<br />

Return to the place where you found the animal and put up a found<br />

pet poster near that location.<br />

If you find the owner, especially off a newspaper or website posting,<br />

ask them to provide a picture of the animal and meet in a public<br />

place like a police station.<br />

More information about Microchips & Microchip companies<br />

A microchip is a small device (size of a grain of rice) that is permanent<br />

and implanted with a needle under the skin of pets.<br />

Pets do not have to be given any pain medication or anesthesia<br />

to implant a microchip.<br />

Microchips are not likely to move or need repair if implanted correctly.<br />

Microchips, when scanned, show a unique code. The microchip<br />

must be registered with the corresponding microchip manufacture<br />

to record any owner and animal data.<br />

Microchips do not work like GPS locators or LoJack and cannot give<br />

a signal to find the location of your lost pet.<br />

While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running<br />

at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many<br />

children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could<br />

result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.<br />

Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County Animal Control)<br />

advises that “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while<br />

in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of<br />

a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed<br />

dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”<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) feet in<br />

length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable<br />

of controlling or governing the dog or cat 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<br />

or street.”<br />

While it may be nice to have<br />

your animal out in the yard<br />

while you work or play, it is<br />

against the law, unless the<br />

animal is properly restrained.<br />

Let’s all help keep our community<br />

a safe and comfortable<br />

place for all our residents by<br />

being responsible pet owners.<br />

This will not only protect<br />

anyone who may be walking<br />

or bicycling in the area, but<br />

also the pet owner who could<br />

be held legally responsible<br />

or possibly sued for failing to<br />

properly restrain their pet. For<br />

EARTH DAY 4/22/<strong>2017</strong><br />

The celebration of Earth Day is on <strong>April</strong> 22 nd and<br />

it began 1970. It has grown into a global event<br />

recognized by over 192 countries. Devoting<br />

special a day to helping for the earth is a way<br />

to demonstrate how much we care about the<br />

future of our planet. Here are some meaningful<br />

ways to celebrate our mother Earth on her day:<br />

1) Don’t Drive - give your car a day off<br />

and also the atmosphere<br />

2) Recycle your e-waste - old televisions,<br />

computers, anything electrical<br />

can be recycled<br />

3) Plant food - plant your own vegetables, fruits and herbs<br />

4) Share something - whether it is a charger, your own phone<br />

or anything - share, don’t waste<br />

5) Go solar<br />

6) GET OUTSIDE<br />

WE FIX IT RIGHT<br />

THE FIRST TIME!<br />

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

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

daily calorie needs is to multiply your weight in pounds by 13 to 15,<br />

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

for breakfast, 500 to 600 for lunch, 600 to 700 for dinner and two or three<br />

snacks of roughly 100 to 200 calories each. Trying to lose weight? Eat<br />

roughly 500 calories less.<br />

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

more than 35 inches. For men, risk increases with a measurement when<br />

your waist is over 40 inches.<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

should be taking steps to prevent the development of hypertension.<br />

5) Triglyceride levels: A normal triglyceride reading is less than 1.7<br />

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

triglycerides checked.<br />

6) Morning pulse rate: a normal resting pulse rate is 60 to 90 beats per<br />

minute. People who are fit tend to have lower resting pulse rates because<br />

their heart muscles are in good shape. But if you don’t exercise<br />

regularly and your heart rate is lower than the normal range, tell your<br />

doctor-it could be a sign of heart disease.<br />

GOLDEN EAGLES CLINCH<br />

FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP<br />

IN SCHOOL HISTORY<br />

The Cypress Falls High School boys’ basketball<br />

team came back from a first-half deficit<br />

and survived a late-game run by San Antonio<br />

Wagner to win the school’s first-ever UIL Class<br />

6A state championship, 63-57, on March 11 th<br />

at the Alamodome in San Antonio.<br />

The Golden Eagles (35-3) capped a historic<br />

season in dramatic fashion, rebounding<br />

from a 19-11 disadvantage to take control in<br />

the second and third quarters and distance<br />

themselves from the Thunderbirds.<br />

The Cypress Falls Golden Eagles display their <strong>2017</strong> state championship trophy.<br />

Wagner came within 3 points in the fourth<br />

quarter, but clutch free-throw shooting from<br />

Cypress Falls (32 of 40 for 80 percent) sealed<br />

the result.<br />

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

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

Junior teammate Trajan Wesley led all scorers with 20 points on an emotional date.<br />

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

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

This is for her.”<br />

Championship MVP Cypress Falls junior guard Nigel Hawkins.<br />

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

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

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

What is a fast paced hard hitting game so often termed, “THE COOLEST<br />

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

Hockey…. and did you know that there are 10 teams and over 200 High<br />

School players in the Houston area that lace up the skates and drop the<br />

puck every weekend in the Greater Houston area?<br />

Hockey is a blend of speed, agility, strength and endurance with hard hits<br />

and graceful scorers. Hockey takes the hand eye coordination of baseball,<br />

the equipment and pads and hard hits from football and combines<br />

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

the most entertaining action in sports today. Most players started skating<br />

at the age of 5 and are now High School athletes playing games every<br />

weekend with High School Varsity Action. A select few of the players carry<br />

the desire to another level playing on the local Houston Wild Travel Teams<br />

facing other teams from the Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Oklahoma<br />

areas. The desire and drive of these WARRIORS ON ICE is showcased<br />

every weekend from October to March with High School Varsity Action.<br />

The Interscholastic Hockey League or “ISHL” as its commonly known is a<br />

Houston Area High School Hockey League made up of a North and South<br />

division. The High School Varsity teams are comprised of either all players<br />

coming from one school or as a “blended” team which combines skaters<br />

from several schools. There are 5 teams in the ISHL North Division with<br />

4 playing their home games at the Willowbrook Aerodrome. The North<br />

Division teams are a blended team Fair Creek along with Cy-Woods,<br />

Woodlands, Klein and Brazos Valley. The South Division teams play their<br />

home games at the Sugarland Ice Arena in Sugarland. The South Division<br />

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

West, Seven Lakes and Clement/Ridgepoint.<br />

Settler’s <strong>Village</strong> | <strong>April</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY REV’S UP TOWARDS THE PLAYOFFS<br />

The team holding the overall league leading record is Fair Creek<br />

whose players reside mainly in the Cypress area with 4 players<br />

from Cy-Fair HS, 2 from Cy-Creek HS, 2 from Langham Creek HS, 2<br />

from Cy-Ridge HS and 1 from Cy-Springs HS. In addition, there are 9<br />

players drafted from other schools (Tomball, Magnolia, Kingwood,<br />

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

ice by CFISD Students Seniors Jaxon Sharp and Gail Snyder from<br />

Cy-Creek HS, Juniors Tyler McLeroy, Brandon Roskey and Brother<br />

Jonathon Roskey and Goalie Evan Ruonavaara all from Cy Fair High<br />

School, Juniors Caleb Newport and Grant Marconi from Langham<br />

Creek HS, Junior Grayson Slagle and Freshman Joey Epplin from<br />

Cy-Ridge HS and Sophomore Brendan Oglesby. Fair Creek’s team<br />

scoring leader is Sam Robinson from Kingwood HS and whose brother<br />

Jake Robinson also plays for the team. Fair Creek is led on the ice<br />

by the ISHL’S All Time Winningest Coach Paul St Amand with long<br />

time Assistant Coach Russ DiRaimo and 3 rd year Coach Jeff Smith.<br />

The final regular league games were played on Friday Night, February<br />

17 th with 2 STRONG matchups featuring 1 st Place Fair Creek<br />

going against 2 nd place Cy-Woods and immediately following was<br />

a matchup of #4 Cinco Ranch going against #6 Klein, both games<br />

were played at the Willowbrook Aerodrome.<br />

The exciting ISHL playoffs culminated with one team being crowned<br />

the <strong>2017</strong> CITY of HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPION. The playoffs<br />

ran from February 24 th through March 10 th , with the playoff matchups<br />

determined once the regular season games are completed. For more<br />

more costumes to see and things to look at and do, at booths representing<br />

Australia, Sweden, El Salvador, Vietnam, Madagascar, the Bahamas and China,<br />

among others.<br />

Troops 113009 and 16503 performed the opening and closing flag ceremonies<br />

and led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Girl Scout Promise and Law. We<br />

concluded the evening with a Friendship Circle and singing “Make New Friends.”<br />

Many thanks to Jewel Cardenas Munoz, who chaired the event!<br />

Cookie sales and Cookie booths continued into March and many of our troops<br />

decorated their cookie booths with posters, banners and other decorations,<br />

including giant “cookies” made of felt or cloth and hula hoops!<br />

We appreciate the support of our friends, families and neighbors<br />

during the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale. Cookie sales fund individual<br />

troop activities and help to support our great camps. Many thanks to<br />

Michelle Baxmann and all the troop Cookie managers and volunteers<br />

for their hard work.<br />

March 12 th is the official birthday of Girl Scouting in the United States and many<br />

of our troops celebrated with parties and birthday cake. Many Girl Scouts also<br />

participated in Girl Scout Sunday/Sabbath events at their places of worship.<br />

Junior troop 16462 has been working on their Amuse Journey award Speak Out.<br />

They created a book about stereotypes that girls face and invited Daisy and<br />

Brownie Girl Scouts to their troop meeting. At the meeting, they read the book<br />

and talked about it with their sister Girl Scouts. They also made and served<br />

refreshments. Troop 113004 planned and held a Girl Scout only Cheer Clinic with<br />

the Cy Falls Cheerleaders for Copper Creek Meadows and nearby communities.<br />

Troop 16503 attended the Bechtel Engineering workshop. They learned about<br />

careers in a variety of engineering fields and did some “hands-on” engineering<br />

world. On Thinking Day, we celebrated the international Scouting movement<br />

different booths, sampled international food offerings and traded swops.<br />

Fraulein with her long braids were popular with picture takers. Local color (and<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the<br />

Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping<br />

youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth<br />

develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, outdoor skills<br />

and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities that allow<br />

them to:<br />

• Try new things.<br />

• Provide service to others.<br />

• Build self-confidence. • Reinforce ethical standards.<br />

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals while<br />

promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. As<br />

a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and<br />

the right choices can be made.<br />

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through<br />

the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help our youth<br />

Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area Counsel -<br />

Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old),<br />

13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing units (boys and girls<br />

from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />

Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools including:<br />

Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley, Horne, Jowell,<br />

Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan, Tipps, Walker and<br />

Wilson.<br />

Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church, Beck and<br />

Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church, Copperfield Church,<br />

Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield <strong>Village</strong> HOA, LDS Bear Creek<br />

and Copperfield Wards, Middlegate <strong>Village</strong> HOA, Peace Community Church, St.<br />

Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and Thornton Middle School.<br />

Please contact Brendan Cronin, Copperhead District Executive (713-756-3383 or<br />

orienteering and shooting skills? Scouting is Fun… with a Purpose - where boys<br />

grow into men instilled with values of duty to God and Country, community<br />

service, citizenship, leadership and self-confidence. Troop 3 is a boy-lead troop<br />

where the boys plan an exciting year-round outdoor program. We camp monthly<br />

and include rock climbing, backpacking and canoeing. Troop 3 also participates<br />

in a weeklong winter camp, as well as a weeklong summer camp. We welcome all<br />

Featured Recipe<br />

We are asking you to send your favorite recipe with a little story behind<br />

it. Each month we will select one or two recipes to featured in our<br />

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

along with the recipe to<br />

recipes@krenekprinting.com<br />

This month’s selection is Crawfish Fettuccine.<br />

I had this delicious dish when I attended my brother’s wedding in Canton,<br />

Mississippi. The event took place in September of 2004 with hurricane<br />

Francis coming ashore. I almost didn’t get out of Houston because<br />

of the major rain that hit here as well as Canton.<br />

We attended a wedding luncheon in a truly old southern home where<br />

the meal was prepared by some sweet southern women. There was so<br />

much southern charm and the food was outstanding. After asking for<br />

the recipe I received it in the mail by one of those sweet ladies.<br />

With crawfish season here I thought I would share. Enjoy!<br />

J. Stults<br />

CRAWFISH FETTUCCINE<br />

2 sticks butter<br />

3 onions chopped<br />

2 bell peppers chopped<br />

3 stalks celery, chopped<br />

3# peeled crawfish tails or Shrinp<br />

3 cloves garlic, minced<br />

1 TBS. chopped parsley<br />

1/2 cup flour<br />

1 pint Half & Half<br />

1# Velveeta, cubed<br />

24 oz. Fettucine<br />

Chicken broth<br />

1/4 cup chopped jalapenos (optional)<br />

Melt butter and saute onions, peppers & celery until tender. Add crawfish,<br />

simmer 10 min. stirring occasionally. Add garlic, parsley, flour and<br />

cream - mix well. Simmer on low heat 30 min. stirring occasionally. Add<br />

cheese & stir until melted.<br />

Meanwhile cook noodles in chicken broth and creole seasoning, drain<br />

and combine with sauce. Pour into 2 - 3 quart greased casseroles.<br />

Bake uncovered @ 300 degrees 20 minutes or until heated.<br />

Freezes well - 18-20 servings.<br />

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

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

or any liquid will return texture.<br />

TIP: If using frozen crawfish be sure to thaw and rinse before adding to<br />

mixture.<br />
