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.

Deed Restriction Violations 

Do you know what the top three reasons management companies send 

out deed restriction letters? The first is not keeping your yard mowed and 

weeded. Mow your yard on a regular basis, keeping it a little higher in 

the summer months, which helps in water retention and crowding out 

weeds. The second is leaving your trashcans out in front of the house or 

garage. Trashcans should be kept out of sight (in the garage, behind the 

privacy fence or behind shrubs or a purpose built enclosure. Contact Crest 

Management if you wish to build a trashcan enclosure for Architectural 

Control forms. The third reason is mildew on the house siding. This often 

happens on shady areas of the house. Power washing or spraying with a 

cleaning solution for mildew often takes care of the problem. 

Garage Sale Signs 

Placing garage sale signs in the flower and shrub beds within the 

neighborhood is not permitted. Such signs found in the flower and shrub 

beds will be removed immediately and placed in the trash. 

Community Information 

and Meeting Notices 

If you are interested in receiving Board meeting email notifications, 

please go to the Crest website at www.crest-management.com and go 

to communities, then scroll down to Sheffield and there you will find a 

place to sign up with your email address and if you scroll to the bottom, 

you can obtain community information, legal documents or applications 

as well. 

Litter Pickup 

Just a reminder, if you see trash in the neighborhood, please be a good 

neighbor and pick it up and dispose of it properly. Otherwise, then trash 

will either end up in someone’s shrubbery or trees or else get washed 

down the storm sewers, contributing to mosquito breeding and backing 

up of the storm drains in times of heavy rains. Thanks to those of you who 

regularly pick up other people’s litter. 

Contacting Crest Management 

& the Board 

If you have a matter you would like to discuss with Crest, Shannon 

Nogradi is our representative and can be reached at 281-579-0761 or by 

email at shannon.nogradi@crest-management.com. If you wish to meet

Pets 

Please remember that you are not allowed by law to let your dogs and 

cats run loose in the neighborhood. If caught, you may receive a ticket 

in the amount of up to $500 for such a violation (we have had residents 

receive such a ticket). If you see loose pets you can contact Harris County 

Animal Control. 

A number of Sheffield residents either walk their dogs or let their cats 

run loose. It is a violation of deed restrictions to let your pet leave their 

poop on another resident’s lawn or the common grounds (they belong to 

all of Sheffield’s residents). If your pet does have to go to the bathroom, 

please be courteous and carry a plastic bag (store bags or the newspaper 

delivery bag are great for this), pick up the pile by placing your hand 

inside the bag, grab the pile through the bag, tie the bag up and throw it 

in the garbage. Leaving your pet waste around encourages the possible 

spread of pet disease, such as Parvo, which can be life threatening, or 

parasites. 

A number of complaints have been made about stray cats roaming the 

neighborhood. To report stray or unconfined animals call 281-999-3191, 

Monday thru Friday during the hours of 9:00 AM until 6:00 PM.

Deed Restriction - 

Trailers, Rv's and Boats 

It is a violation of our deed restrictions to park a trailer, mobile home, 

RV, boat, 18-wheeler tractor/trailer or camper in your driveway. You 

can park these on your property only if they are completely out of sight 

(in the garage, in the back yard behind the house). If you cannot meet 

these rules, it must be stored offsite (out of the neighborhood). If you 

have questions on this, please call the Assistant Community Property

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.

Hurricane Harvey and Houstonians 

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.

Message From The Superintendent 

Welcome back to school - again! I realize we started 2017-2018 a couple weeks later than we originally planned and I appreciate everyone’s patience 

during this difficult time. 

Certainly, Hurricane Harvey has proven to be a dynamic and unprecedented event for the CFISD community. So many of our neighbors have been 

displaced from their homes due to flooding and damage and we want to remember those folks in our thoughts and prayers and continue to provide 

support as they get back on their feet. 

You may have heard that Texas Commissioner of Education Mike Morath has waived the nine student days we have missed due to the flooding. I can 

assure you that our teachers and staff are going to provide each student with the same outstanding curriculum and instruction they would have 

received had we started on August 28 th . 

The outpouring of support for so many of our friends and neighbors impacted by this tragic event has been inspiring to see. People from different 

backgrounds and zip codes have all come together to support this community. That makes me extremely proud, not only to be a CFISD resident but 

also an American. 

Without a municipal government that covers the entire district, CFISD stepped up to provide temporary shelter, support other shelters and school 

districts with food and supplies and help operate our own point of distribution at the Berry Center that provided assistance to more than 5,000 

community members. 

On a personal note, I want to thank you for your prayers, encouraging comments and emails during this difficult time. I have been a superintendent 

for 27 years and this was the most challenging and dynamic event I have ever experienced in that role. 

For most of us, this event will be in our rear-view mirror rather quickly. But for a significant group of people in our community, this was a life-changing 

event. The theme we live by in CFISD is Opportunity for All. Let’s make sure all of our community, with our continued support, has the opportunity to 

rebuild their lives this year. 

Sincerely, 

Mark Henry, Ed.D.

CFISD Welcomes An Expected 116,000 Students On First Day Of School 

Cheryl Fisher’s Fitbit says she slept four hours, but the principal at brand-new Wells Elementary School was pretty sure it was less. The first day of 

school still has that effect on Fisher. Despite a start date pushed back two weeks due to the effects of Hurricane Harvey, CFISD classes began September 

11 th , with approximately 116,000 students filling the halls of 91 campuses. That included three new schools: Wells and Hoover Elementary schools and 

Bridgeland High School. For those teachers, staff members and administrators, reaching the first day of classes marked an accomplishment in itself. 

“Seeing those kids come in the first day of school with their smiles - that would be the pot of gold at the end of this whole thing,” said Fisher, who 

spent eight years as the principal at Keith Elementary School before she was named to her new post - and subsequently spent much of the spring and 

summer alone or with little staff in preparing. “There is a building, there is a complete staff of super-excited teachers and staff members and these 

happy children came in and they deserve the best.” 

Said Michael Smith, Bridgeland’s principal after more than nine years at the same job at Cy-Fair High School: “Whenever you have a new school, you 

have to be flexible. Not everything went perfect, but the staff and the students were great. A lot of energy and a lot of excitement.” 

The first day also meant bridging CFISD’s history with its future as the namesakes of both new elementary schools were on hand, welcoming students 

in the morning before walking the halls and returning to volunteer as Bus Buddies in the afternoon. “I went around to every classroom this morning 

and gave all the teachers a hug,” said Janet Hoover, the namesake for Hoover Elementary School who retired in 2010 after 36 years in CFISD. “It’s the 

best atmosphere I’ve seen in a long, long time. It’s a very special place.” 

CFISD’s original start date was August 28 th , but was postponed due to Hurricane Harvey. The district and community rallied and did its part while 

employees, families and students waited to start the 2017-2018 school year. The Berry Center transformed into a massive point of distribution 

center with a workforce of CFISD volunteers, funneling donations to families in need. In addition, numerous school organizations and athletics teams 

volunteered in the relief effort. 

But the waiting finally ended. School buses and lines of cars rolled September 11 th . Students posed for photos. Smiling employees greeted everyone 

at the front doors. “I’m a little nervous but I’m very excited,” said Paige Hintz, a third-grade language arts teacher at Jowell Elementary School. “I’ve 

prepared all of this stuff and finally just getting to actually do it. I’m ready to meet my kids and get it started.” 


Moore ES Donation And Supply Update 

Dear CFISD community: The outpouring of support you have shown 

through volunteerism and donations to the students and staff at Moore 

Elementary School has been absolutely incredible! You have worked 

so hard to ensure they have everything they need to have a successful 

school year. At this time, we are completely stocked with supplies and 

do not need anything else. Once school begins, we will be reaching out 

to others in need to share the extra supplies. Please know how much 

your generosity has meant to the entire Moore community and all those 

impacted by the flood. Sincerely, Principal Patricia Myers. 

CFISD Mentor 

The CFISD Mentor Program is a cooperative effort of volunteers from 

businesses, faith-based and/or non-profit organizations, the community 

and the school district designed to encourage students (elementary 

through high school) to finish school and focus on future education and 

career goals. A mentor is a suitable role model committed to helping a 

student with his/her academic and social development. Mentors meet 

with students one-on-one for approximately 30 minutes each week. 

Currently, over 700 mentors are matched with students. Mentors must 

be 18 years or older. To become a mentor, you must attend a training 

session, complete a global volunteer/mentor application and consent to 

a criminal history record check. 

Training Sessions - Registration is REQUIRED. Register for a training 

session at www.cyfairisd.formstack.com/forms/training. 

If you would like to schedule mentor training at your place of business, 

please contact the Community Engagement department, Leslie Francis, 

Director of Marketing and Business Relations at 281-894-3950. 

A virtual volunteer account will be created for you in vSoft once you have 

been approved as a mentor (this is the system that the front desk will use 

at the school in order to give you a nametag). Your login information will 

then be sent to you by vSoft via email. Access your account by visiting 

www.v-volunteer.com.

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. 

20 

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 Copperfield Wards, Middlegate Village 

HOA, Peace Community Church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church 

and Thornton Middle School. 

Please contact Brendan Cronin, Copperhead District Executive (713-756- 

3383 or email brendan.cronin@scouting.org) or to go www.copperhead.

compose, organize, preserve and share them electronically for future 

generations. Jackie Devine loves working with active writers and people 

who have never tried to write! This course will help you understand the

development, tone and voice. You’ll learn that you are creating a legacy.

Flooding Damages Cypress Creek 

Cultural District 

Creekfest Cancelled For 2017 

Along with so many neighbors on Cypress Creek, the Cypress Creek Cultural 

District sustained serious damage from Hurricane Harvey. As a result, 

CreekFest has been canceled for 2017 but plans are to return in full force 

next year. The Centrum and Cypress Creek Christian Church and Community 

28 

Center, the Barbara Bush Library, the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts and 

the Greenway trails experienced costly damages. All are working hard to 

become operative as soon as possible and need the support of the Northwest 

Community to aid the effort to do so. A sincere thank you goes to the major 

sponsors of CreekFest who have now directed their sponsorships toward 

flood relief for the Cultural District’s non-profit organizations. Those sponsors 

include the Cypress Creek Cultural District, Resource One Credit Union, Fidelity 

Investments and Power Home Remodeling Group. Insurance covers only a 

portion of the costs to repair each of these organizations, so contributions 

from the community are needed and deeply appreciated. Contributions may 

be made by visiting https://paypal.me/cypresscreekcultural. 

Please include a note indicating that your gift is for Harvey relief. All 

donations will be distributed between non-profit organizations in the Cypress 

Creek Cultural District, unless directed by the donor to a specific entity. One 

hundred percent of your donations will go directly to the cultural district 

organizations for flood relief. Cypress Creek FACE is working to relocate 

concerts and educational services. The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts 

hopes to re-open later this fall. The reopening of the Barbara Bush Harris 

County Library is yet to be determined. The Cypress Creek Cultural District 

is a community-driven, civic and cultural complex dedicated to meeting the 

cultural, recreational and educational needs of all people in the Northwest 

Houston Cypress Creek Community. For updates and information, please visit 

www.CypressCreekCulturalDistrict.org. 

Pearl Fincher Museum Of 

Fine Arts Begins Recovery 

After Hurricane Harvey 

The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts took on some damages as a result 

of Hurricane Harvey. Now the costly process of restoration has already 

begun and insurance covers only part of these crucial expenses. The 

museum urgently needs support from the community to help with this 

financial challenge. A special fund to help “Restore the Pearl” has been 

established so gifts can easily be made from anywhere. Donors can give 

by texting pearlart to 243725 and choosing a donation amount or by 

visiting http://bidpal.net/pearlart. 

The Pearl will be closed while repairs are made and the hope is to reopen 

as soon as possible this fall. Donations will enable the museum 

to make vital repairs so the Pearl can continue to serve the community 

with art and educational programming for all to enjoy. For help with 

these unanticipated costs, the museum must rely on the generosity of 

the community, which ten years ago turned the dream of the Pearl into a 

reality in northwest Houston.

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@ncjwhouston.org or 

see www.ncjwhouston.org.

and loving foster homes until they are adopted into carefully screened, 

forever homes. 

DREAM is currently looking for caring volunteers to provide temporary 

foster care for our many rescued Dachshunds-in-need, currently 

awaiting adoption. Prior to their adoption, DREAM continues to pay for 

all medical care and monthly heart worm prevention. There is no longterm 

commitment required. Food, water, shelter and a soft place to rest 

is all you need to provide. The “love” just comes naturally. 

Questions? Please send us an email to: Contact-Us@DreamDachs.org

you need!

Start The New Year 

With A New Best Friend 

And Family Member! 

Loving Arms Pet Placement has an assortment of wonderful dogs and 

cats hoping for their forever homes. We have all different types of small 

to large dogs, mixed breeds and many wonderful cats to choose from. 

We are a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats. If you are not ready to 

commit to adopting a dog or cat permanently, the animals also need 

foster families. Besides providing food, water and a safe place to sleep, 

foster families socialize the animals so they are people friendly. Include 

the animal in your daily home life inside your home. Get to know them as 

individuals so you can share personality traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes. 

Treat the animal like your own and train him/her, if possible. 

Although you may feel sadness when your foster animal is adopted, 

please know that your efforts helped to prepare the cat or dog for his/ 

her forever home. 

Visit Loving Arms Pet Placement website at www.lovingarmspetplacement. 

com or visit us at Petsmart on Highway 6 and FM 529 each Saturday from 

11 AM until 5 PM.

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. 

40 

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 

VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING 

1 cup unsalted butter softened 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

1 3/4 cup powdered sugar 

1 tbsp heavy whipping cream 

food coloring green and orange 

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.
