CHINCH BUGS OR
BROWN PATCH?
As the weather starts to cool,
brown patch inevitably starts
to show its ugly face in the form
of yellow circles on our lawns.
Many homeowners have a
hard time telling whether they
have brown patch or if there is
some sort of insect feasting on
their lawn areas. To clarify:
Brownpatch is a fungus and
usually appears in the same
areas repeatedly, thriving
when temperatures drop
overnight below 70 degrees for
several nights, even if previous
outbreaks were thought
to have been resolved. A

Scott’s Lawn Fungus Control
is very effective in controlling
an outbreak of Brownpatch.
Products
containing
Chlorothanol work well - try
Daconil Docket DF, it is a
granular product and very
effective. Ortho Daconil is a
faster-acting liquid product
many homeowners use.
Additionally, as the weather
begins to cool, mow your turf
shorter to prevent moisture build-up, adjust your irrigation cycle to fewer
days or shorter cycle times and avoid watering at night. Fungus loves
moisture.
Chinch Bugs can be very devastating to St. Augustine or Fescue lawns.
Their damage can appear similar to brown patch at first but grows out
beyond circles or rings. Chinch bugs are the larvae of Blissus leucopterus,
a small winged beetle. To check for the presence of chinch bugs;
Take a coffee can or similar container and remove the top and bottom of
the can, creating a hollow cylinder. Then embed the can in an affected
area and fill with water. If chinch bugs are present they will rise to the top
of the water within the can.
Prevent damage such as this from occurring! The most effective pesticide
to apply is a liquid spray containing permethrin, cypermethrin or
deltamethrin. This must be applied 3 separate times within a 21 day period
- the egg cycle the chinch bugs leave behind must be killed, otherwise
they will return. A liquid product will permeate all areas better and more
effectively than a granular product, ensuring the infestation is defeated.
If a granular treatment is utilized as well as a liquid application, “Triazicide”
works very well if applied according to labeled directions.

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Welcome back to school - again! I realize we are starting 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 .
October 2017 | Villages of Cypress Lakes

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 thirdgrade
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.

your place of business, please contact the Community Engagement
department, Leslie Francis, Director of Marketing and Business
Relations at 281-894-3950.

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.

October 2017 | Villages of Cypress Lakes

Air Conditioning Contractors of America
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

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 nonprofit
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.

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.
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
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.
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 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.
