REPORTING SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY
You may have noticed the constables patrolling our neighborhoods, working
to keep our community safer for everyone. The appearance of constables
has raised a question of what to do if you witness suspicious activity. If you
see something happening that is an emergency, please call 911. If you see
suspicious activities that are not emergencies, call the Fort Bend County
Sheriff’s Office at 281-341-4665.
GARDENING TIPS FOR NOVEMBER
• Brown patch will continue to plague St. Augustine lawns as nights get
cooler and humidity and rain continue. Discolored circles will appear in
low areas almost overnight. Apply a fungicide recommended for brown
patch according to label directions. Avoid walking through brownpatched
turf. It spreads easily from the bottom of your shoes. If brown
patch appears in the same lawn areas every year, add an inch or two of
sandy topsoil to eliminate those low spots.
• Fertilize St. Augustine turf with a winterizing formula to promote root
growth over the winter months. Lower your lawn mover blades now and
mow on a schedule that cuts no more than one-third of the grass blade
away.
• As chrysanthemums and other perennials finish blooming, cut flowering
stalks to the ground to permit all strength to be used in making
root growth.
• Feed roses lightly, but avoid nitrogen fertilizers. Do not prune now. Keep
up spraying program and water deeply.
• Remove dead foliage and plant debris to help eradicate insects and
disease organisms. Thin out and transfer volunteer seedlings. Beds made
now will benefit by weathering before being planted. If soil is heavy, dig
six inches deep, leave rough, cover with gymsum and strawy manure,
water and allow to mellow.
• Bananas are more likely to bear fruit if the trunk does not die back in winter.
Cut banana stalks back to six feet, wrap with newspaper and burlap.
• Continue mulching for winter. Build up a thick top mulch to protect
roots from freezing and winter drying. Don’t throw away those pine tree
needles; they make great acidic mulch for azaleas, gardenias and next
Spring’s impatiens.
• Place pansies in beds after weather has cooled. Use a little blood
meat mixed in soil under each plant.
• Now is the best time to plant trees and shrubs.

Locale
Firethorne - “[We] LOVE living here. Some of our closest
friends (and our kids friends) live in the neighborhood
too. Great community where you will often find neighbors
helping neighbors just because they are “good people”.
The Scoop: Turkey (Stuffing) Day
Favorite Thanksgiving Dish: “Every Thanksgiving week we travel as a family back to Nebraska where
many aunts, uncles and cousins live. The night before Thanksgiving we all get together at one of the
“aunts” houses, drink wine (the adults that is) and make home-made stuffing for the turkey. It’s Beth’s
grandma’s recipe that continues to be passed down. Usually a 20+ pound turkey as there is typically
a gathering of about 30 of us.”
Thanksgiving Tradition: After the annual 2:00 PM Thanksgiving dinner, weather permitting, their family
enjoys a comingled game of soccer in the backyard with kids and adults. Otherwise, they stay in and
– you guessed it – watch football while playing board games. This group knows how to enjoy their
post-turkey time together!
“Thanksgiving has always been the most important family holiday of the year. It’s the one time we all
come together to celebrate and give thanks for this big, fat, Catholic family!”
Christmas Prep
When They Start: “Sometimes
we start before Thanksgiving
to get it done. With 11
siblings in Beth’s family and
over 25 grandkids each
year we pick names. The
siblings and their spouse;
the kids pick kids names.”
How They Get In
the Christmas Spirit:
“DECORATING our yard!!
LOVE, LOVE…the more
decorations the better…
come on by! 28515 S
Firethorne Rd!”
We would love to feature your family! Each month, one family will be chosen from one of our communities. For more information, email familyfocus@krenekprinting.com.

ATTENTION! PET POOPS / YOU SCOOP
Please be respectful of community grounds and neighbors’ yards. If your
pet poops during your walk, be prepared to scoop and trash. Come with
a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. It may not be
the most fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show your respect
for every homeowner and our beautiful community.
PLEASE NOTE - PETS ON LEASHES
It is the law in Fort Bend County that all pets must be vaccinated for rabies,
registered and restrained. All animals, when outside of an owner’s
means of restraint (i.e., in a fenced back yard), must be on a leash. For the
safety of all residents, please use all precautions with your pets and
keep them on leashes when walking pets in the community EVEN IF
YOU FEEL YOUR PET IS HARMLESS. If you see ANY animal roaming freely
in the neighborhood, immediately call Animal Control at 281-342-1512.
Even if you recognize the animal, be very careful approaching it, as you
do not know how it will react; if you can safely retrieve the animal, then
call the owner. Otherwise, Animal Control is your best and safest option.

January 6, 2018
On November 11, 1947 Raymond Weeks, a World War II veteran, organized
a “National Veterans Day” parade in Birmingham, Alabama
to recognize veterans of all wars.
This celebration led to Congress changing Armistice Day to Veterans
Day in 1954 to recognize Veterans of all U.S. wars.
MILITARY FAMILY APPRECIATION MONTH
Military Family Month was established in 1996 by the Armed Services
YMCA, with the U.S. Government recognizing the occasion every year
since. Each November, the President signs a proclamation declaring
November Military Family Month and with hundreds of thousands of
service members deployed overseas, recognizing the daily sacrifices
made by military families has never been more important.

her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The
United States of America, for an amount of up to,
and including his life.
VETERANS!
Our communities are fi lled with the brave men and
women that have selfl essly served our country.

we are humbled and grateful to each of you today

Support Base Gela took two assaults by Viet Cong (VC) and were repelled
both times. The first assault occurred on Mother’s Day 1969
and the other was in the summer sometime. The fellow in the middle
Is Dan McIntyre of Rifle, Co. We were both wounded together
on Oct 31st at our next Fire Support Base, Apollo, named for the
first moon landing by man in July 17, 1969. Those were the days…

WHAT TO DO BEFORE, DURING, AFTER THANKSGIVING DINNER
The most wonderful time of year also means less time for you! Keep your
focus on YOU before, during and after holiday eating:
1) BEFORE: during the day, drink plenty of water, eat hydrating
fruits -melons, apples, take a long walk, eat a whole-grain breakfast
2) DURING: continue to hydrate, make sure your plate has MORE
vegetables, avoid white grains and choose whole grains, gravy
on the side, fresh baked potatoes vs. mashed, WATER!
3) AFTER: continue to hydrate, stay active, go for a walk, have a small
piece of dessert - key is small!
10 ALTERNATIVES TO A THANKSGIVING TURKEY
There are plenty of alternative Thanksgiving meals that will give you
that holiday feeling. Here are some ideas:
• Pork Roast: Adding apples and cinnamon will ensure that no one
misses the turkey when you serve this dish. It smells and tastes like
holiday heaven.
• Roasted Chicken: A roasted chicken certainly qualifies as a solid
turkey replacement.
• Thanksgiving Jambalaya: You can substitute any meat here: turkey
breast slices, chicken, shrimp.
• Baked Cod or Microwaved Salmon: Who says you can’t serve fish on
Thanksgiving!
• Eggplant Parmesan: Both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike will
love you for this.
• Leg of Lamb: A great alternative that will everyone, especially if you
add exotic spices and seasonings.
• Beef Stew: Hearty and plentiful; your house will be filled with the
most amazing aromas.

KATY ISD LOST INSTRUCTIONAL TIME
As many families and staff continue recovery efforts in our neighborhoods,
homes and community, we are also slowly but surely getting
back on track with the business of teaching and learning across Katy ISD
campuses. As you ​know, our students lost two weeks of instructional
time as a result of Tropical Storm Harvey. However, because the Texas
Education Agency (TEA) will be waiving up to 10 instructional days,
there will be no need to extend the 2017-18 instructional calendar
or to modify the Thanksgiving, Christmas/winter and spring breaks.​
Our Curriculum Department has worked diligently over the past few
weeks to realign and restructure the curriculum unit plans to ensure
that all state standards will be taught this school year. As such, there
will be no gaps in the taught and tested curriculum.
Also, to ensure that our students receive the full benefits of the Katy
ISD learning experience, we have identified means to regain lost instructional
time to deliver additional support to students. This includes
providing enrichment resources for our families, supplementary study
opportunities for Advanced Placement (AP) students and extending
four early release days to full days of instruction.
Support for Advanced Placement (AP) Students:
Additional study opportunities will also be offered to students preparing
for the May 2018 AP exams. Review sessions and resources
are currently being developed and will be shared with students and
published on the website later this Fall.
Extending Four Early Release Days:
The 2017-2018 instructional calendar included six “early release” days
that are typically designated for professional development, teacher
preparation and parent conferences. Four of the previously designated
early release days (Oct. 9 th , 20 th , Feb 16 th , April 13 th ) were/will be
extended to full instructional days. This is designed to allow students
more time in the classroom, as well as to serve the needs of so many
of our families who are displaced by Harvey and depending, now more
than ever, on the daily routine of school to bring a sense of normalcy
to their child(ren)’s lives. We understand that October 9 th and 20 th had
been set aside for parent/teacher conferences at many campuses.
However, in lieu of the in-person conferences, parents are encouraged
to communicate with teachers by email and/or phone. Parents should
also continue to monitor their student’s progress on the Home Access
Center. Friday, December 15 th and Thursday, May 24 th will remain
“early release” days since final exams are given on those dates.
Thank you for your understanding as we move forward with these
post-Harvey initiatives to recapture lost instructional time and to
provide additional support to our students and families. Should you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your school.
Enrichment Resources for Families:
Online instructional enrichment activities developed by our Curriculum
Department are available for parents or guardians to work with their
child(ren) at home. These enhanced learning activities are ungraded
and optional and are available on the Katy ISD Curriculum & Instruction
website​. Each core subject area will be covered for the remainder of
the school year. These subjects include language arts, mathematics,
science and social studies. ​

CINCO RANCH COUGAR BAND
The Cinco Ranch Cougar Band celebrated the close of their Marching
Contest season by competing in the first-ever Pridgeon Processional
Marching Invitational on October 28 th . The band has had a wonderful
showing this year at their contests - including participation in the Katy
ISD Marching Invitational, Bands of America in Conroe as well as Region

and was called “Believe.” It is a tremendous honor and achievement to
have Cinco Ranch perform at these prestigious competitions, during
football games and throughout the community this fall.
Expectations of our members are high, both academically and outside
of the classroom and they exceed our expectations year after year. The
CRHS Band Boosters are very proud of our students and directors for
their hard work, dedication and excellence. We continue to “believe”
our marching band will excel through the Spring season during solo and
ensemble contests, more state competitions and all of their amazing
concerts. Our next upcoming concert is the evening of November 8 th
in the Cinco Ranch High School Performance Arts Center.

ST. JOHN XXIII NEWS
St. John XXIII Students Named
National Merit Semifinalists
On Wednesday, September 13 th , officials of the National Merit Scholarship
Corporation (NMSC) announced the names of approximately
16,000 Semifinalists in the 63 rd annual National Merit Scholarship
Program. St. John XXIII College Preparatory is pleased to announce two
students have been recognized for this achievement. Seniors Bridget
Parmenter and Emily Poux were named National Merit Semifinalists
for 2018. These academically talented high school seniors have the
opportunity to continue in the competition for Finalist standings
and 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $32 million.
We applaud the 1.6 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools
across the nation who entered the 2018 National Merit Scholarship
Program by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which served as the initial screening
of program entrants. The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing
less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the
highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in
a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total
of graduating seniors.
St. John XXIII Seniors Named
National Merit Commended Students For 2018
Timothy Gallic, principal of St. John XXIII College Preparatory, announced
today that Griffin Alexander and Keegan O’Connor have been
named Commended Students in the 2018 National Merit Scholarship
Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and the National
Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will
be presented by the principal to these scholastically talented seniors.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being
recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will
not continue in the 2018 competition for National Merit Scholarship
awards, Commended Students place among the top 50,000 scorers
of more than 1.6 million students who entered the 2018 competition
by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying
Test (PSAT/NMSQT). “The young men and women being named
Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for
academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These
students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their
accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their
academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence
in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden
their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue
their pursuit of academic success.”

BLACK FRIDAY TIPS
• The best deals are usually on the big-ticket items (think over $500). If
you’re thinking about buying a big-ticket item, Black Friday is a good
time.
• The goal of major retailers is to keep you in the store! They want you
to do more of your shopping in their store to increase market share.
Be aware and don’t get distracted or overwhelmed. Plan ahead and
know the store layout!
• Bring someone with you to split up and conquer tasks!
• Popular items, especially Black Friday Doorbusters, will sell out and
aren’t available via raincheck. If there’s a deal you have to have, make
sure you get it early!
• Check online: some deals can be had online without the in-person
hassle. But many deals are only in stores or only online, so make sure
you double check!
• Wear comfy shoes, bring snacks, water and stay patient, don’t let it
get to you too much! There’s always CyberMonday!

TURKEY TETRAZZINI
Ingredients
1-1/2 pound Thin Spaghetti, Broken In Half
4 Tablespoons Butter
4 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 pound White Mushrooms, Quartered
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup White Wine
1/3 cup Flour
4 cups Turkey (or Chicken) Broth
1 block 8 Ounce Cream Cheese
3 cups Cooked (leftover) Turkey, Shredded Or Diced
1 cup Finely Chopped Black Olives
1-1/2 cup Frozen Green Peas
4 slices Bacon, Fried And Cut Into Bits
1 cup Grated Monterey Jack Cheese
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt And Pepper, to taste
Extra Broth For Thinning
1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
by Ree | The Pioneer Woman
Holidays, Thanksgiving
Preparation
Cook pasta until not quite done - al dente according to package instructions (it will
finish cooking in the oven.) Drain, rinse, and set aside.
In a large pot, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute for a couple of
minutes. Add mushrooms and salt, then saute for a couple more minutes. Pour in the
wine and allow it to cook with the mushrooms for several minutes, or until the liquid
reduces by half.
Sprinkle in flour, then stir the mushrooms around for another minute. Pour in the
broth and stir, cooking for another few minutes until the roux thickens.
Reduce heat to medium low. Cut cream cheese into pieces and add it to the pot. Stir
it to melt (don't be concerned if the cream cheese remains in little bits for awhile;
it'll melt eventually!) Add the leftover turkey, the olives, the peas, the bacon, and the
cheeses. Stir to combine, adding salt and pepper as needed.
Add the cooked spaghetti and stir it to combine. Splash in more broth as needed; you
want the mixture to have a little extra moisture since it will cook off in the oven. If it's
a little soupy, that's fine! Add up to 2 more cups of liquid if you think it needs it.
Pour the mixture into a large baking dish and sprinkle the top with Panko crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the crumbs
are golden brown.
