WATER SAFETY TIPS 

COURTESY OF THE “SIMPLE STEPS SAVE LIVES” PROGRAM 

1. Staying close, being alert and watching children in and around the pool 

• Never leave a child unattended in a pool or spa and always watch your child 

when he or she is in or near water. 

• Teach children basic water safety tips. 

• Keep children away from pool drains, pipes and other openings to avoid 

entrapments. 

• Have a telephone close by when you or your family is using a pool or spa. 

• If a child is missing, look for him or her in the pool or spa first. 

• Share safety instructions with family, friends and neighbors. 

2. Learning and practicing water safety skills 

• Learn how to swim and teach your child how to swim. 

• Learn to perform CPR on children and adults and update those skills 

regularly. 

• Understand the basics of life-saving so that you can assist in a pool 

emergency. 

3. Having appropriate equipment for your pool or spa 

• Install a four-foot or taller fence around the pool and spa and use selfclosing 

and self latching 

gates; ask your neighbors to do the same at their pools. 

• Install and use a lockable safety cover on your spa. 

• If your house serves as a fourth side of a fence around a pool, install door 

alarms and always use them. For additional protection, install window guards 

on windows facing pools or spas. 

• Install pool and gate alarms to alert you when children go near the water. 

• Ensure any pool and spa you use has compliant drain covers and ask your 

pool service provider if you don’t know. 

• Maintain pool and spa covers in good working order. 

• Consider using a surface wave or underwater alarm.

Hurricane Safety Checklists 

The most important thing you can do 

as hurricane season approaches is to 

get yourself, your family and your home 

prepared. By starting early, you’ll avoid 

the rush at home supply stores, grocery 

stores and other venues typically crowded 

and often chaotic when hurricane 

watches and warnings are issued. 

You should stock six basics for your home: 

water, food, first aid supplies, clothing 

and bedding, tools and emergency 

supplies and special items. Keep the items 

you would most likely need during an 

evacuation in an easy-to carry container 

- suggested items are marked with an 

asterisk. Possible containers include a 

large, covered trash container, a camping 

backpack or a duffle bag. 

FOOD AND WATER CHECKLIST 

Water 

Store water in plastic containers such as 

soft drink bottles. Avoid using containers 

that will decompose or break, such as milk 

cartons or glass bottles. A normally active 

person needs to drink at least two quarts 

of water each day. Hot environments and 

intense physical activity can double that 

amount. Children, nursing mothers and ill 

people will need more. Store one gallon 

of water per person per day. Keep at least 

a three-day supply of water per person 

(two quarts for drinking, two quarts for 

each person in your household for food 

preparation/sanitation). * 

Food 

Store at least a three-day supply of nonperishable 

food. Select foods that require 

no refrigeration, preparation or cooking 

and little or no water. If you must heat 

food, pack a can of sterno. Select food 

items that are compact and lightweight. 

Include a selection of the following foods 

in your Disaster Supplies Kit: 

• Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and 

vegetables 

• Canned juices 

• Staples (salt, sugar, pepper, spices, etc.)

For Pets 

In the interest of protecting pets, the 

Humane Society of the United States 

offers these tips for inclusion in your 

family disaster plan: 

• Do not leave your pets behind. 

• Securely fasten a current identification 

tag to your pet’s collar and carry a 

photograph of your pet. It’s important 

to include the phone number of a friend 

or family member on the tag so anyone 

who may find your pet is able to reach 

someone who knows you. 

• Transport pets in secure pet carriers and 

keep pets on leashes or harnesses. 

• Call hotels in a safe/host location and 

ask if you can bring your pets. Ask the 

manager if a no-pet policy can be lifted 

during the disaster. Most emergency 

shelters do not admit pets. 

• Call friends, family members, 

veterinarians or boarding kennels in a 

safe/host location to arrange foster care 

if you and your pets cannot stay together. 

Pack a week’s supply of food, water and 

other provisions, such as medication or 

cat litter. 

• Do not wait until the last minute to 

evacuate. Rescue officials may not allow 

you to take your pets if you need to be 

rescued. 

• Keep a list of emergency phone numbers 

(veterinarian, local animal control, animal 

shelters, Red Cross, etc.). 

POSSESSIONS AND DOCUMENTS 

• Keep these records in a waterproof, 

portable container: 

• Will, insurance policies, contracts, deeds, 

stocks and bonds. 

• Passports, social security cards, 

immunization records. 

• Bank account numbers. 

• Credit card account numbers and 

companies. 

• Inventory of valuable household goods, 

important telephone numbers. 

• Family records (birth, marriage, death 

certificates). 

• Store your kit in a convenient place 

known to all family members. Keep a 

smaller version of the supplies kit in the 

trunk of your car.

The Cypress-Fairbanks ISD 

Splash! program offers 

swim lessons periodically 

throughout the year. All lessons 

are based on the American Red 

Cross Learn to Swim program 

and the program is supervised 

by WSI Certified instructors. 

Whether your child is brand new to the water or they are swimming 

laps, our instructors have the unique ability to build on the skills your 

child already possesses. We have three options for group lessons: Level 

1 (Introduction to Water Skills), Level 2 (Fundamental Aquatic Skills) and 

Level 3 (Stroke Development). 

We also offer private lessons for younger students (under 4 yrs), for 

students whose skills are greater than our Level 3 curriculum and for 

adults over 18 who would like to learn the basics. 

Open lanes are for participants to work on stroke, time and conditioning 

individually. A great way to reinforce skills that have been achieved! While 

an instructor and lifeguard are present, this is not a lesson. (instructor 

approval required) 

Children with special needs are also welcome! We will work with both 

the parents and child to find the best fit where he or she will be most 

successful in the program. For pricing, schedule and registration form,

“His heritage to his children wasn’t words or possessions, but an 

unspoken treasure, the treasure of his example as a man and a 

father.” -Will Rogers, Jr. (1879–1935) 

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly 

stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was 

astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” 

-Mark Twain (1835–1910)

JUNE IS NATIONAL CAMPING MONTH 

The sun is up, the birds are singing and the mosquitoes are finally hatching from their larval phase. Ok, it isn’t all rainbows and fresh 

fish, but June is Camping Month and it’s a great opportunity to get outside with the family and enjoy the great outdoors. Research 

shows that people who spend time camping are happier, more relaxed and tend to buy more bug repellant. What? We don’t like 

mosquitoes any more than you do, but we do love camping! Who doesn’t love sitting under the stars roasting marshmallows and 

making S’mores or waking up to the smell of wood smoke and bacon? 

History of Camping Month 

While there was a time when ‘camping’ was just called ‘being alive,’ that all changed in the 1800’s when a man named Thomas Hiram 

Holding began to popularize the idea of recreational camping. Camping was a part of his life introduced to him by the rigors of the 

Oregon Trail and once he had settled it turned into a passion he pursued and introduced to others. Once camping in general had 

become popularized, Thomas went on to introduce the idea of Cycle Camping to the American world. This is, quite simply, where you 

load up on a bike and ride until you find a spot to camp, get up the next day and do it all over again. 

What is likely the first commercial campground opened in Douglas, Isle of Man in 1894 and was called Cunningham’s Camp. From 

this point in history all sorts of new types of camping came into existence, from mere weekend family getaways, to RV camping and 

everything in between. Whether rafting down a river in a Canoe and setting up camp in the evening or hiking into the woods far from 

civilization with a backpack full of your gear, Camping Month celebrates them all. 

How to celebrate Camping Month 

Well, this has got to be the easiest answer ever, GO CAMPING. Even if it’s just a pop-up tent and sleeping bag in your backyard 

under the stars, get out there and reconnect with the great outdoors. There’s a place to find your soul and set your mind to peace 

out in the great distant woods and they’re calling all of us to head back out there and find ourselves. So pile into your car, find 

yourself some secluded spot to set up a tent and celebrating Camping Month by going camping!

NATIONAL SELFIE DAY 

June 21, 2017 

You know what’s really annoying? People who take selfies all day. I mean, they always have these amazing 

profile pics and look utterly fantastic. It’s like they took thousands of images to get just the right one and 

it’s so frustrating! They’re so vain! So Awful! So…. We admit it, we’re jealous we’re not able to take such a 

perfect selfie, ours always come out looking like they were taken by a framing impaired pigeon landing on 

a discarded camera. That’s ok though! On Selfie Day you can take the time to take a thousand photos to get 

just the right one and not feel ashamed. After all, it’s a holiday! 

History of Selfie Day 

Selfies have probably existed as long as hand-held cameras have been a thing. Human vanity is so utterly 

profound that if we’re given the opportunity to do something self-aggrandizing, we do. This habit, in our 

defense, doesn’t seem to be strictly human in nature. Given access to a camera and a little time to figure 

it out, monkeys will start snapping selfies like no one’s business. In 2014, BBC officially declared a Selfie 

Day, which amusingly heralded a sudden decline in selfies. Interestingly, there was a similar drop after the 

Oxford English Dictionary added ‘selfie’ to its pages. Apparently making something official is a fine way of 

making sure no one wants to do them anymore. 

But don’t let that worry you, we’re pretty sure the selfie is definitely here to stay, especially since there have 

been a series of inventions to make it easier to do. From the ‘selfie-stick’ to the write mounted drone that 

will take flight and snap a photo of you on request, selfie technology is getting more advanced every day. 

How to celebrate Selfie Day 

Selfie day is best celebrated by taking tons and tons of selfies in pursuit of the perfect one. So get out there 

with your camera and take a picture of yourself every time the opportunity presents itself, we won’t judge 

you! You can even buy yourself a selfie-stick to take pictures of yourself with. For once you don’t have to be 

embarrassed to take a selfie to post on your profiles, you’ve got one clear excuse and an absolute pass on 

it for the day. It’s Selfie Day! Source: www.daysoftheyear.com 


STATE PARKS BEST PLACES TO CAMP IN TEXAS 

Ray Roberts Lake State Park 

Ray Roberts Lake State Park is situated on a 3,000-acre reservoir just north of the 

hustle and bustle of Dallas. Campers here are encouraged to hike miles of trails and 

primitive camping is available for the practiced adventurer. The highlight of the park, 

though, is the clean beach and easy lake access. Ray Roberts Lake is so big it can 

often feel like a seaside bay. Folks out here boat, ski, swim and fish away the stress 

of the city in style. The park is also home to multiple marathons throughout the year. 

Lake Bob Sandlin State Park 

Campers of Northeast Texas know that it doesn’t get much more patriotic than 

spotting the majestic eagles during winter trips to Lake Bob Sandlin State Park. 

For the camper that is also an avid fisherman, Lake Bob Sandlin is a great spot for 

largemouth bass, spotted bass and bluegills. 

Inks Lake State Park 

Tucked away in the Texas Hill Country is Inks Lake State Park. Hill Country topography 

mixes with the pristine water of Inks Lake to create a perfect camping experience. On 

land, campers can backpack, geocache and bird-watch. And on water, campers can 

boat, ski, fish and even dive from the cliffs at the popular Devil’s Waterhole section of 

the lake. 

Palo Duro Canyon State Park 

The Texas Panhandle is home to Palo Duro Canyon, “The Grand Canyon of Texas.” Campers 

here can hike, bike or horseback through the canyon and view the multicolored rocks, caves 

and hoodoos (rock towers). Palo Duro is also home to the Texas Outdoor Musical, which runs 

June through mid-August. 

Caprock Canyons State Park 

Campers flock to Palo Duro’s neighbor, Caprock Canyons State Park for both its 

awesome hiking and its magnificent wildlife–namely, the Official Bison Herd of the 

State of Texas. Over 10,000 acres are reserved for these bison that descended from a 

herd started by Charles Goodnight in 1878. The park is also known for its steep cliffs 

and drop-offs, which offer experienced hikers and mountain bikers a challenging 

adventure. 

Davis Mountains State Park 

Out in West Texas, Davis Mountains State Park offers a definitively Texan experience. 

Here, campers are encouraged to bring their horses to camp. Horseback riding trails 

in the park rise up to 5,700 feet. Don’t fret if you happen to leave your trusted steed at 

home. Davis Mountains State Park also offers hiking, mountain biking, bird watching 

and stargazing tours. 

Padre Island National Seashore 

Camping along the Gulf Coast on the Padre Island National Seashore is a completely 

unique experience. The sand and the sea provide ample opportunity for the beachloving 

camper. Here, campers can watch newborn sea turtles take to the ocean for the 

first time, sea kayak below a pod of pelicans and fish for their dinner.

GARDEN TIPS FOR JUNE 

Lawns 

• Apply iron sulfate or chelete to St. Augustine grass lawns. 

• Mow St. Augustine to a 2-inch height now to protect roots from 

the sun. Never cut off more than a third of the leaf. 

• Continue treatment of lawns for chinch bug. As the temperature 

hits 80 degrees, chinch bugs begin to reproduce in the hottest 

and driest part of the lawn, usually next to cement. Use diazinon 

or dursban granules. 

Flowers 

• Overwatered hibiscus, purslane and bougainvillea won’t bloom. 

• Keep flowers pinched off of coleus and caladiums to encourage 

more of the beautiful foliage. 

• Plants to set: Acalpha, Ageratum, Alternathera, Aspidistra, 

Artemisia, Balsam, Begonia, Chrysanthemum, Cockscomb, 

Coleus, Croton, Dusty Miller, Feverfew, Gaillardia, Geranium, 

Marigold, Petunia, Pinks, Portulaca, Salvia-red, Shrimp Plant, 

Torenia, Verbena and Vinca. 

Vegetables 

• A strong blast of water in the morning rids plants of most bugs 

for the rest of the day. 

• Vegetables to plant: Cantaloupe, Sweet Corn, Cucumber, 

Eggplant sets, Okra, Black Peas, Pepper Sets, Summer Squash 

and Sweet Potato. 

Shrubs 

• Watch Camellias and Azaleas, they’re setting their blooms now 

for next season. So give them a good mulch and plenty of water. 

Mulch well with oak leaves and/or pine needles to keep soil 

acidic. 

Benefits of Mulching: Mulching (organic or inorganic) is a layer 

of material on the surface of the soil around the plant. Mulches 

conserve water by reducing evaporation, insulates the soil and 

protects it from the drying wind and hot sun. Mulches break the 

force of rain and irrigation water and tend to prevent erosion, soil 

compaction, and crusting. Lastly, a 2-3 inch layer of mulch will 

almost eliminate weed problems.
