GARDENING TIPS 

FOR MAY 

Warm weather means 

our gardens and landscapes 

are growing 

fast. Here are some 

tasks to keep your 

landscape beautiful 

and productive: 

Flowers: Time to plant 

summer blooming perennials 

and annuals including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane, 

lobularia, sunflowers, yellow bells, pride of Barbados, duranta 

and bat-faced cuphea. 

Vegetables: May is a great time to plant, from seed or nursery plants, 

okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter squash, pumpkins, basil, 

peppers, lima beans, eggplant, garlic chives and Malabar greens. If you 

don’t want to dedicate an area of your yard, consider planting here and 

there in your flowerbeds. Edible landscaping is a popular new trend! 

Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge or straight 

sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know how long 

to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”. 

Weeding: Hand pull or hoe weeds while they are still young or better 

yet, maintain a 3” layer of mulch in all vegetable and flowerbeds to 

deter weeds from getting a start. 

Pruning: Remove spent blooms on spring and summer annuals to 

promote new blooms. 

Fertilizing: Fertilize flowerbeds and vegetable gardens w/slow release 

organic fertilizer. 

Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent 

light sprinkling. 

Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-May. Clean bird feeders! 

Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito breeding 

spots.

PET 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 childrenand 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 l 

eash is held by a human being, who is capable 

of controlling or governing the dog or cat in 

question 

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian 

and the animal does not have access 

to sidewalk or street.” 

While it may be nice to have your animal out in 

the yard while you work or play, it is against the 

law, unless the animal is properly restrained. 

Let’s all help keep our community a safe and 

comfortable place for all our residents by being 

responsible pet owners. This will not only protect 

anyone who may be walking or bicycling 

in the area, but also the pet owner who could 

be held legally responsible or possibly sued 

for failing to properly restrain their pet. For a 

complete list of regulations, call 

281-999-3191 or visit www.hcphes.org/vph. 

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 

5. CAP - Citizens for Animal Protection

All about Cinco 

De Mayo! 

Cinco de Mayo means “the fifth of May.” 

Cinco de Mayo is the anniversary of a 

battle that took place between the Mexicans 

and the French in 1862. 

• The battle is known as the Battle of 

Puebla and it celebrates Mexico’s victory 

over the French. It also marks a turning 

point in Mexican national pride. The victory made the Mexican people 

very happy and helped create a feeling of national unity. 

• While Cinco de Mayo is a national holiday in Mexico, it is mainly observed 

in the state capital of Puebla. However, in the United States, it is 

becoming a popular holiday to celebrate Mexican culture. 

• The largest Cinco de Mayo event in the world is held in Los Angeles, 

California, where more than 600,000 people celebrate with music and 

food. The whole event is called Festival de Fiesta Broadway. 

• There aren’t any specific foods associated with Cinco de Mayo, but 

traditional Mexican dishes such as enchiladas, burritos, guacamole and 

tacos are popular. 

• The Mexican flag is green, white and red. The traditional meaning 

is thought to be that green= hope and the independence movement; 

white=purity and religion and red=Spain and union. The emblem in 

the middle consists of an eagle and a snake, based on an Aztec legend.

Mother’s Day - A day for MOM 

Mother’s Day has its roots 

in ancient Greek festivals 

honoring Rhea, the Mother 

of the Gods. The modern 

American holiday officially 

began in 1914, when President 

Woodrow Wilson declared the 

second Sunday in May a day to 

honor all the mothers. Here 

are some tips on celebrating 

Mother’s Day on May 14 th !

1. Deliver the classic Mother’s Day treat: breakfast in bed on an old-fashioned 

wicker tray table. Cook her favorite morning fare, mix her an 

eye-opening mimosa and tuck her favorite flowers into a small crystal 

vase. If the tray has slots on the sides, fill them with small presents (or 

big presents in small packages). 

2. Take your mother on a trip with Mother’s Day sandwiched in the middle. 

Make it as simple as a long weekend at the beach or as elaborate as 

a trip across the States. 

3. Surprise your mother with a visit if she lives far away. 

4. Deliver her present by way of a treasure hunt. Lead her on as long a 

trail as you think she’ll find amusing, with her present waiting at the end. 

5. Honor your mother’s memory if she’s no longer living. Send a donation 

to her favorite charity or spend the day working for her favorite cause. 

Do things she taught you to love. 

6. Thank the women who produced your favorite people - send cards, 

flowers or notes to the mothers of your friends, even if you’ve never 

met them. 

7. Throw a Mother’s Day party for your mother, your friends 

and their mothers. Consider a festive spring brunch. 

8. Best tip: tell mom you love her.

Mother’s Day History and Fun Facts 

Did you know that more phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than on 

any other day of the year? In fact, phone traffic has been known to spike 

by nearly 40% on this holiday honoring motherhood. 

It’s a traditional holiday that is observed throughout the world in different 

ways. In the U.S., mothers are most typically presented with flowers, cards 

and other gifts. (Though in 2016, about 55% of consumers took Mom out.) 

But since this is common knowledge, we wanted to go one step further and 

learn why Mother’s Day exists at all. Here’s what we learned. 

The History of Mother’s Day in America 

The American version of Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908. It became 

an official holiday just 6 years later in 1914. Anna Jarvis is credited with 

creating the U.S. holiday and leading the charge to have it officially added 

to the national calendar. She first conceived of the idea after the death of 

her mother, Anna Reeves Jarvis, in 1905. The story goes like this: 

• With financial backing from John Wanamaker - owner of the famous department 

store chain - she organized the first-ever celebration at a Methodist 

Church in Grafton, WV in May 1908. She wanted to recognize the sacrifices 

that mothers make for their children. 

• On that same day, thousands also attended a Mother’s Day event at a 

Wanamaker’s in Philadelphia. 

• Building on the success of that first Mother’s Day event, Jarvis began a 

6-year campaign to have it added to the national calendar. She argued that 

American holidays were biased towards male achievements. 

• By 1912 Mother’s Day had been widely adopted at the state and local levels. 

• In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure officially establishing 

the 2 nd Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. 

• Jarvis’ vision for Mother’s Day was a day of personal celebration. To her, 

the day involved wearing a white carnation in honor of mothers and visiting 

one’s mother or attending a church service. 

• Florists, greeting card companies and other retailers had other plans 

though and by 1920 Jarvis was fully disillusioned by what the holiday had 

become, going so far as to openly campaign against all Mother’s Day profiteers. 

She went on to file lawsuits against groups using the term “Mother’s 

Day” and spent most of her personal wealth in legal fees. 

• After pushing for 6 years to make the day official, Jarvis eventually 

disowned the holiday and actively lobbied to have it removed from the 

American calendar. This effort of course was unsuccessful.

Washington, D.C.: For patriotism, pomp and circumstance 

Washington D.C. is the most patriotic place to celebrate the holiday, with a parade and 

plenty of pomp and circumstance taking place during special military ceremonies. Arlington 

National Cemetery-which celebrated its 150 th anniversary in May 2014-hosts a 

wreath-laying ceremony at 11 AM on Memorial Day at the Tomb of the Unknowns accompanied 

by performances from the U.S. Navy Band. 

Saint Louis: For the ultimate treasure hunt 

Don’t miss the largest flea market in the Midwest, Gypsy Caravan, an annual Memorial 

Day event organized for the 44 th year by the St. Louis Symphony Volunteer Association. 

The Jersey Shore: For family fun and rides along the iconic Boardwalk Steel Pier, Atlantic 

City’s popular oceanside amusement park, debuted eight new rides in 2013. Outside 

Atlantic City, check out the annual Wildwoods International Kite Festival, the largest in 

North America, Friday thru Monday, an event that starts Friday at noon with the “Unlocking 

of the Ocean” media event. 

Austin: For boating season and outdoor fun 

Head to Lake Travis to soak up some of Austin’s best weather of the year, with plenty of 

sunshine and temperatures in the eighties. Memorial Day kicks off boating season here, 

so the place to be is the lake.

BABY BOOM 

By Cheryl Conley, TWRC Wildlife Center 

Spring is the time when animals are looking for secluded locations for giving birth and 

raising their babies. Sometimes these sites aren’t so “human-friendly” like attics, chimneys 

or in your garage. The BEST solution when this happens is to leave them alone until they 

move out but if you must move them, please use HUMANE methods to do so. If possible, 

postpone your tree trimming until later in the season. Squirrels, birds and raccoons nest 

in trees and you could easily displace baby animals by cutting down limbs and trees. 

Here are a few tips to help save the babies this spring: 

RE-NEST BABY BIRDS: If you’re like me, I was told growing up that one should never touch 

a baby bird because the mom will reject it. This is a myth. If you find a baby bird and it 

appears uninjured, place it back in the nest. If you can’t reach the nest, you can place the 

bird in a shallow basket or box and hang it as close to the nest as possible. In most cases, 

mom will continue to care for it. If the bird is injured or the mom isn’t feeding the baby, 

it’s time to intervene. Place the baby in a small, covered container and bring it as soon as 

possible to TWRC Wildlife Center. Do not attempt to feed it or give it water! 

RACCOONS IN THE ATTIC: If you can’t wait until mom moves out on her own, you can 

“encourage” her to move by leaving lights on in the area all night. Place a radio in the area 


® 

and play it loudly. It may take a couple of days but she will soon tire of 

the light and the noise and move her little ones. Then MAKE SURE you 

repair the opening where she got in. 

One other helpful information about raccoons. During late spring 

and summer, you may see raccoons out during the day. Raccoons are 

nocturnal EXCEPT if they are nursing moms. It is not uncommon for 

females to be out during daylight hours looking for food. It does NOT 

mean she has rabies. 

FAWNS: It’s normal for a doe to “park” her fawn and leave it there for 

hours while she goes off to eat. The fawns instinctively know that they 

must stay there until she returns and unless she has been injured, she 

WILL return. Since fawns are odorless, predators are unable to pick up 

their scent. When the fawn is about a month old, it will begin traveling 

with mom but in the meantime, please LEAVE IT ALONE! 

BABY RABBITS: If the babies are not injured and the nest is intact, leave 

them alone. Just like a mama doe, rabbits only visit their young two to 

three times a day. Here’s a good test if you think the babies really have 

been orphaned. Use sticks or trigs and make an “X” over the nest. If, 

after 12 hours, the “X” is still in place, the bunnies are probably orphans 

and you need to bring them to TWRC for care. Do not attempt to feed 

them or give them water! 

If you have questions about wildlife, please call TWRC Wildlife Center 

at 713-468-TWRC. They are available to answer your questions and give 

you guidance on living in harmony with our furry and feathered friends. 

TWRC Wildlife Center is a Houston-based wildlife rehabilitation and 

education center available to anyone needing assistance with wildlife. 

Check our website at www.twrcwildlifecenter.org or call 713-468-TWRC 

and don’t forget to donate so we can continue to help wildlife as we’ve 

done for 36 years.

CFISD’s FAIR CREEK-2017 CITY OF HOUSTON HIGH 

SCHOOL HOCKEY CHAMPIONS 

The 2016-2017 Interscholastic Hockey League(ISHL) season concluded 

on Friday, March 10 th with Cy-Fair’s Fair Creek HS team prevailing 

with a hard fought, dramatic 2-1 win over Cinco Ranch on the Frozen 

Surface at the Willowbrook Aerodrome. 

The Fair Creek HS Team whose players reside mainly in the Cypress 

area won the regular season league championship with a record 

of 17-4-1. Next up for the team was the 1 st round of the playoffs 

where Fair Creek defeated Klein 5-2 to advance to the round robin 

tournament. In the round robin, Fair Creek beat Memorial West 7-1, 

lost a nail biter to Cinco Ranch 1-2 and came back to beat Cy-Woods 

6-3. The top 2 teams in the round robin would advance to the ISHL 

Championship Game. Those two were Fair Creek and Cinco Ranch, 

which would be a rematch of the Fair Creek’s only round robin loss. 

The matchup for the ISHL’s Justice Varsity High School Championship 

Cup was set in a one game winner take all. 


In the FINALS, Fair Creek came out strong with constant pressure 

in Cinco Ranch’s defensive end of the ice. Fair Creek’s only 2 goals 

of the game were scored by Sam Robinson 8 seconds apart in the 

2 nd period. Fair Creek and Kingwood Senior Robinson’s 1 st goal was 

a one timer off a hustling Cy-Fair Junior Tyler McLeroy’s pinpoint 

pass. Robinson’s game winner came only 8 seconds later as he 

tallied his second goal from a lazer pass from Cy-Creek Senior 

Jaxon Sharp, which beat Cinco Ranch’s goalie Randy Miller. Miller 

was stout all night long stopping 35 shots and only allowing 2 to 

cross the goal line to keep Cinco in the game. Fair Creek ended up 

out shooting Cinco Ranch 37-13! 

This is Fair Creek’s 3 rd City Championship in the past 10 years…. 

Jaxon Sharp’s 2 nd City Championship in his 4 year Varsity career, 

Tyler McLeroy’s 2 nd High School Championship (one with his JV team 

in 2015 and with this year’s Varsity Championship) and Caleb was 

the 3 rd Newport brother (joining Nathan and Noah) from Langham 

Creek to win a City Championship with the Fair Creek team. 

The Fair Creek and 9 other High School teams in the Houston area 

will now play in the Spring /Summer recreational High School 

league with games on Sunday nights at the Willowbrook Aerodrome. 

The 2017-18 high school regular season will run from October 

’17 - March ’18. For more information on schedules, playoffs, 

standings and statistics, check out the ISHL website at www.ishl.

were delighted 

watching the lov-

Schroeder’s rocking tribute to the great Ludwig van Beethoven and 

“The Baseball Song,” which tells the endearing story of Charlie Brown’s 

epic strike out. Of course audiences were also charmed by Lucy’s failed 

attempt to gain Schroeder’s interest in the song “Schroeder,” Sally’s 

philosophical musings in “My New Philosophy” and Snoopy’s eleventh 

hour Fosse turned gospel number, “Suppertime.” This production was 

entered in the Tommy Tune Awards and while the cast and crew are anxious 

for nominations to come out, they are all confident in the fact that 

no matter what happens, they put on a fabulous and successful show 

that brought glory and honor to our Heavenly Father. Please view the

BOY SCOUTS 

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, self-confidence, 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. 

Other Community groups include: Autumn 

Creek Baptist Church, Beck and Masten 

Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist 

Church, Copperfield Church, Crossbridge 

Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, 


Deerfield Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and

to offer and have the opportunity to visit 

with the Scouts and their adult leaders to 

learn more about the things the troop has 

done during meetings and activities. 

Scouting activities include camping, fishing, 

archery, rifle/shotgun shooting, hiking, 

first aid, wilderness survival, community 

service, citizenship, swimming, leadership, 

white-water rafting and much more. Troop 

61 camps each month and has a group that 

goes to High Adventure Camp and to Merit 

Badge Camps each summer.

inadequate supplies for education. 145 million children in the world 

do not have access to education, yet children still dream of becoming

NATIONAL MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH 2017 

National Military Appreciation Month (NMAM) is celebrated every May 

and is a declaration that encourages U.S. citizens to observe the month 

in a symbol of unity. NMAM honors the current and former members 

of the U.S. Armed Forces, including those who have died in the pursuit 

of freedom. The month of May is characterized by six national observances 

which highlights the contributions of those who have served. 

The 6 National Observances during 

National Military Appreciation Month 

Loyalty Day 

Sunday, May 1, 2017 

Kicks off our Nation’s month-long celebration of military appreciation. 

It is a day set aside for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States 

and to reflect on the proud heritage of our American freedom. 

Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) 

Sunday, May 7 - Saturday, May 13, 2017 

(Celebrated the first full week in May) 

A time set aside to honor the men and women who serve our nation 

as federal, state, county and local government employees and ensure 

that our government is the best in the world. 


Victory in Europe Day AKA V-E Day or VE Day 

Monday, May 8, 2017 

May 8, 1945 is the day the Germans throughout Europe 

unconditionally surrendered to WW II Allies. 

Military Spouse Appreciation Day 

Friday, May 12, 2017 (Traditionally set for the 

Friday before Mother’s Day) 

A day to honor military spouses with appropriate ceremonies and 

activities. Recognizes the important role our military families play 

in keeping our Armed Forces strong and our country safe. 

Armed Forces Day 

Saturday, May 20, 2017 (Celebrated the 

third Saturday in May every year) 

A single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military 

members for their patriotic service in support of our country. This 

day honors everyone serving in the U.S. Military branches; Air Force, 

Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy. 

Memorial Day 

Monday, May 29, 2017 (A Federal holiday observed on the 

last Monday in May) 

A remembrance of our veterans. Commemorates the men 

and women who died while in military service. 

History of NMAM 

In 1999, Senator John McCain introduced legislation to designate 

the month of May, National Military Appreciation Month. Both the 

Senate and House of Representatives adopted resolutions calling 

for Americans to recognize and honor U.S. Service Members during 

NMAM. These proclamations also urge the President to issue a proclamation 

calling on the people of the United States to observe NMAM.
