October is 

Breast Cancer 

Awareness 

Month 

One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. 

However, with early detection and treatment, you can greatly improve 

your chance of survival. 

3 STEPS TO EARLY DETECTION 

Early detection means finding the cancer before it spreads to other parts 

of the body. Although breast cancer cannot be completely prevented, 

early detection provides the greatest possibility of successful treatment. 

By following these three steps, you will help increase your chance of 

detecting cancer early. 

1. BREAST SELF-AWARENESS 

Breast self-awareness can help you become familiar with how your 

breasts normally look and feel. Knowing this will help you identify any 

changes in your breasts that should be reported to your health care 

professional promptly. If you find a lump, schedule an appointment with 

your doctor, but don’t panic - 8 out of 10 lumps are not cancerous. 

Changes to look for include: 

• A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area 

• A change in the size or shape of the breast 

• Dimpling or puckering in the skin of the breast 

• A nipple turned inward into the breast 

• Discharge (fluid) from the nipple 

• Scaly, red or swollen skin on the breast, nipple or areola (the dark area 

of skin at the center of the breast) 

You should see your health care provider about any of these symptoms. 

Often these symptoms are not due to cancer, but if you notice any 

changes in your body, tell your health care provider immediately so that 

the problems can be diagnosed and treated. 

2. WELL-WOMAN EXAM 

It is recommended that women visit their family physician or gynecologist 

each year for an annual Well-Woman Exam. In addition to a routine pelvic 

exam and pap smear, the doctor may perform a brief breast exam to 

check for abnormalities. The Well-Woman Exam is a great opportunity for 

you to discuss with your health care provider any questions or concerns 

you have regarding your breast health. For example, your doctor may 

help you to determine the most appropriate frequency for your early 

detection steps. 

3. MAMMOGRAM 

In its early stages, breast cancer doesn’t usually cause symptoms. NBCF 

recommends that women ages 40 and older get a mammogram every 

year. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. It is a safe way to detect 

cancerous tumors and other abnormal breast conditions and women 

who have screening mammograms have a lower chance of dying from 

breast cancer than women who do not have screening mammograms. 

Mammograms can detect cancer or other problems before a lump 

becomes large enough to be detectable to the touch. They provide an 

effective way to find breast cancer in its early stages when treatment is 

usually the most successful. Mammograms are considered safe, quick 

and relatively painless.

Cinco MUD 8's 

Water Saving 

Guidelines 

Water your lawn between the 

hours of 4 AM and 8 AM to avoid 

evaporation during daylight hours. 

The NFBWA Talking Sprinkler, Larry 

says you only need to water your 

lawn twice a week, so please water 

every 4 days - no more. Cinco MUD 8 

recommends watering for 8 minutes for each zone. Replace any broken 

sprinkler heads. See www.cincomud8.com for rebate info. Check out 

www.talkingsprinkler.com. 

The EPA’s We’re for Water yearlong campaign recommends the following 

water savings inside and outside your home: 

• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created “We’re for 

Water” as a national campaign to educate consumers about watersaving 

behaviors and WaterSense labeled products. The WaterSense 

label makes it easy to identify products that use less water and perform 

as well as or better than standard models. 

• Whether by replacing an inefficient fixture with a WaterSense labeled 

product or adopting water-efficient behaviors, we can all take action to 

save water for future generations. 

• Saving is as easy as check, twist, replace. 

• Check toilets for silent leaks: put a few drops of food coloring in the tank 

and wait 10 minutes to flush. If color appears in the bowl, the flapper may 

need replacing. 

• Twist on a WaterSense labeled bathroom faucet aerator to save water 

and energy at the tap without noticing a difference in flow. 

• Replace your showerhead with a WaterSense labeled model that uses 

less water and energy, but still lets you shower with power. 

• Join thousands of your neighbors in We’re for Water. Make simple 

changes at home to save water and energy. 

• Go to epa.gov/watersense to take the I’m for Water pledge. 

• The pledge is also located in documents on www.cincomud8.com.

City of Hope 

In the wake of tragedy, 

Houstonians stand strong together, 

rebuilding their city, homes and life.

Krenek Printing sends our thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by Hurricane Harvey. As residents of the communities 

we serve, we are deeply saddened by the mass flooding and destruction brought to homes, businesses and property. We will 

continue to provide personalized subdivision newsletters with information from neighborhood management, surrounding 

community groups, and local relief information to support the cleaning, rebuilding, and recovery of the communities in the 

wake of Hurricane Harvey. In the story below, a local resident shares what she believes makes our communities amazing… 

people willing to help each other by showing one another generosity, community, kindness and humanity. Krenek Printing 

agrees that YOU are what makes this city great and we are proud to be part of your local community each month. 

Hurricane Harvey and Houstonians 

by W. Baecke, Cypress Resident 

On August 26th, as I ushered 

my students out of class with a 

cheerful “See you next week,” 

many remarked that school 

would be closed due to flooding 

so they would not see me next 

week. I chuckled while advising 

them to stop wishing for the 

return of summer vacation and 

not to forget their assignments 

due Monday. After 4 days of rain, 

flooding, and the constant reports 

of more destruction on the news, 

I was feeling foolish at my lack 

of respect for the weather, guilty 

that my house was dry when 

friends and family only miles 

down the road had lost everything, 

and generally disheartened 

at Houston’s situation. The more 

I watched the news broadcast the 

devastation, viewed social media 

with awful stories of anger and 

hate, and began to take inventory 

of what it would take to get my 

life back to normal, I felt bitter, 

annoyed and grumpy. Thankfully, 

an eventful trip to the local pharmacy, 

helped me see a different 

view of the situation. 

After 4 days of rain with a sick 

baby, I was out of baby fever 

reducer. With frazzled nerves, my 

fevered, fussy 1-year-old hanging 

off my hip, and my 7-year-old 

complaining about the outing in 

general, a young man approached 

us and asked if I needed help. It 

was clear he didn’t work for the 

store as he was not in uniform 

and didn’t have on a name tag, 

but he could see I was having 

trouble locating what I needed 

on the bare shelves while juggling 

the kids, diaper bag, pacifier, etc. 

As he helped me find the last 

bottle of off-brand infant pain 

reliever, I silently prayed my 

oldest daughter, who was quietly 

staring down the young man with 

furrowed brow, would not ask 

any loud, inappropriate questions 

about his long hair, dark nail 

polish, or pants that did not sit 

anywhere near his waist. 

As he helped me look for the medicine, 

we made small talk and he 

disclosed that his family had been 

rescued a few hours before and he 

was thankful to be safely staying 

at a relative’s home until he could 

get back to his house to assess the 

damage. This whole encounter 

took less than 3 minutes. I thanked 

him profusely and we parted ways. 

As we drove home, my daughter 

began to ask her questions, and 

to my surprise, they had nothing 

to do with the young man’s 

appearance. She wanted to know 

how he would get the water out of 

his house; how he would know it 

was safe to go home and how he 

would get there; how he would 

get the money to buy more things 

if his stuff was ruined; and so on. 

She was very concerned for this 

young man and his family. I told 

her about all the organizations 

that were already providing for 

people like the man with things 

like shelter, food, clothes, and 

toiletries. When I looked back, 

my daughter was crying. She said 

that she was so happy that everyone 

wanted to help each other 

and that she wanted to help too 

by going through her clothes and 

toys when we got home. 

In that moment, all the negative 

feelings I was harboring disappeared. 

I was reminded that 

doing things for others and being 

a decent neighbor is what makes 

Houston amazing. 

I am thankful that young man 

helped me today. His helpful 

spirit, despite his desperate situation, 

helped remind me about 

what is important – people. I 

know Houston has a long road to 

recovery ahead, but I also know 

that Houstonians will take on the 

challenge with generosity, kindness, 

compassion and love.

How to Carve 

A Pumpkin 

When it comes to pumpkin carving, the idea is to have fun. We’ve 

got tips on carving the best pumpkin, as well as how to pick a good 

pumpkin for carving! 

HOW TO PICK A GOOD PUMPKIN FOR CARVING 

Look for one that is a little misshapen. Inspect it for soft spots (especially 

the end opposite the stem). Reject a pumpkin that has soft spots, they 

will cause it to deteriorate quickly. Remember, your pumpkin doesn’t 

have to sit on its base, in fact, that’s often its weakest spot. 

Let the pumpkin guide the shape of the face: An elongated pumpkin 

should have an elongated face. A fat and happy pumpkin should have 

a fat and happy face. 

HOLLOW OR WHOLE? 

There are two reasons for hollowing: (1) If the inside is going to be 

exposed (through the mouth, etc.), it looks better if it is hollowed 

neatly. (2) If you plan to light the pumpkin from the inside, it must be 

hollow. You can hollow it out from a hole in the back instead of the top, 

so that the look of the face isn’t affected. If you’re illuminating with a 

candle, you need to hollow from the top to allow the heat and smoke 

to escape. 

THE TOOLS 

Use a water-based marker to outline the face that you want to carve. 

First, draw a line down the center to establish symmetry. Then sketch 

the nose, the approximate center of the face. Once you’re satisfied with 

the details, trace over the lines using a permanent marker. For carving, 

basic kitchen implements, such as a paring knife or a steak knife with 

a standard - not serrated - blade that’s not going to bend, work well. 

You can also use a standard jigsaw blade. Otherwise, improvise: Use a 

melon-ball cutter to make circles, for example. 

28 

MAKE A FACE 

To achieve a three-dimensional appearance, carve the entire pumpkin. 

Exaggerate the features. (If you aren’t sure what teeth really look like or 

how the gum line works, smile and look in the mirror.) If the pumpkin is 

frowning, carve wrinkles under the mouth. To add character, carve a lot 

of “crow’s feet” lines around the eyes. Consider using the stem as the 

nose and inserts such as radishes for the eyes or cut eyeballs from the 

back of the pumpkin and hold them in place with toothpicks. 

CARVE WITH CARE 

Use two hands at all times: one to control the blade and the other to 

control the pressure with which you cut (and thus the depth). Take care 

not to jab the blade into the pumpkin; you don’t want to cut all the 

way through the rind - except to determine its depth. The thickness of 

the rind will vary, not only from pumpkin to pumpkin, but also within 

one pumpkin. To determine your pumpkin’s average depth, cut a 

core sample where you want an eye or a nostril to be. Keep that piece 

nearby as a reminder of how deep you can safely cut. 

ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS 

Pumpkins, which are actually a fruit, not a vegetable, are 90 percent 

water, so after carving they usually last only three days to a week. A 

jack-o’-lantern with a surface carving will last longer than one that 

is cut all the way through. Putting a candle or other light inside will 

shorten its life span, as the heat that results can “cook” the pumpkin 

and reduce its longevity to a matter of hours. For a bright, shiny finish, 

spray Armor All on the pumpkin and rub it in. Paint will not preserve a 

pumpkin. However, if you decide to paint your pumpkin for decoration, 

use a water-based latex paint and wait at least an hour after carving 

so that the cuts you have made in the pumpkin have a chance to dry.

Halloween 

Jalapeno 

Mummies 

10 Jalapeno Peppers 

8 oz Softened Cream Cheese 

8 oz Pepper Jack Cheese 

1/2 tsp Minced Garlic 

Pinch Salt 

Pinch Pepper 

1 Scallion 

Candied Eyeballs 

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls 

WITCH HAT CUPCAKES 

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES 

1 cup all-purpose flour 

1/2 tsp baking powder 

1/2 tsp salt 

1/2 cup cocoa 

1 cup sugar 

3/4 cup vegetable oil 

1 large egg 

3/4 cup milk 

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

1 3/4 cup powdered sugar 

1 tbsp heavy whipping cream

HAT DECORATIONS 

Oreo Thins 1 per cupcake 

Hershey Kisses 1 per cupcake 

Candy Corn cut along color lines 

Preheat your over to 400° in line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Wash then Slice your jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and scoop 

out the inside. In a large mixing bowl, use a cheese grater to shred your 

block of pepper jack cheese. Chop a scallion in tiny pieces. Mix in your 

cream cheese, scallion pieces, garlic, pepper and salt to your shredded 

cheese. Fill your jalapeño peppers with your cheese mixture. Now 

unroll your crescent rolls into rectangles (leave two triangles together 

and pinch the middle together). Use a pizza cutter to cut each crescent 

rectangle lengthwise into four even pieces. Wrap one or two pieces 

around each pepper, leaving a small opening for the eyes. Bake for 10- 

12 minutes. Right when you take your mummies out of the oven, add 

two candy eyes in each top opening.

Witch Hat 

Cupcakes 

For the Chocolate Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin 

with cupcake liners, then set aside. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking 

powder, salt, and cocoa. Set aside. Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large 

bowl), beat together vegetable oil and egg on low for 30 seconds. Add milk 

and vanilla extract and mix until combined, about 1 minute. Keeping speed 

on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, about 1/2 cup 

at a time. Once all dry ingredients have been added, mix just until the dry 

ingredients are no longer visible, about another 2-3 minutes. Be careful not 

to overmix. Pour batter into prepared muffin tin, filling containers about 1/2 

way full. Bake chocolate cupcakes in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a 

tester toothpick comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, 

then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 

For the Vanilla Buttercream Frosting: 

Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large bowl), beat butter and vanilla 

extract on high until fluffy. Drop speed to medium and slowly add sugar to 

butter, mixing thoroughly in between. If mixture gets too dry, add the 1 tbsp 

heavy whipping cream. If using food coloring, separate about 1/3 to 1/2 cup 

frosting to a separate bowl. Add green food coloring to the larger portion of 

frosting and orange food coloring to the smaller portion and mix thoroughly. 

Putting it all together: 

Decorate chocolate cupcakes with the green frosting (to create the “hair” 

for the witch) using a decorating tip of your choice. Press an Oreo on to 

the top of the green frosting (to create the brim of the hat). Using another 

piping bag, add about 1/2 tablespoon of orange frosting on top of the 

Oreo. Press an unwrapped Hershey Kiss into the frosting, using even 

pressure so that a ring of orange frosting appears around the base of the 

Kiss (this creates the top of the hat). Place a piece of cut candy corn into 

the orange frosting (for the hat buckle). I used only yellow pieces for this.

Foster Children: Preparation 

For Adult Living (Pal) 

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. 

That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities 

arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure 

out how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole 

month. Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program 

to help prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). 

The year-long course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by 

the National Council for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at 

Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by 

local businesses. Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that 

help change lives with hands-on community service? Contact info@

Halloween Safety Tips 

Walk Safely 

• Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. 

• Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross. 

• Put electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, 

across the street. 

• Teach children to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front 

of them. 

• Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing 

traffic as far to the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes 

with the fewest street crossings. 

• Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to never 

dart out into the street or cross between parked cars. 

Trick or Treat With an Adult 

Children under the age of 12 should not be alone at night without adult 

supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out without supervision, they 

should stick to familiar areas that are well lit and trick-or-treat in groups. 

Keep Costumes Both Creative and Safe 

• Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if 

possible, choose light colors. 

• Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, 

which can obstruct a child’s vision. 

• Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen 

by drivers. 

• When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips 

and falls. 

Drive Extra Safely on Halloween 

• Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. 

Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways. 

•Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs. 

• Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. 

• Eliminate any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the 

road and your surroundings. 

• Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and turn your headlights 

on earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances. 

•Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM so be especially 

alert for kids during those hours.
