CFISD ATHLETES ENJOY SUCCESS AT<br />
SPECIAL OLYMPICS AREA SWIM MEET<br />
Roughly 50 CFISD athletes represented the district with gold, silver and<br />
bronze medals as CFISD hosted the Special Olympics <strong>of</strong> Texas Area 4 Swim<br />
Meet on Oct. 7 th at <strong>Cypress</strong> Ranch High School.<br />
The meet continues a long-standing relationship between CFISD and<br />
Greater Houston Special Olympics that is closing in on 30 years. In<br />
addition to the swim meet, the Area 4 Basketball Tournament will be held<br />
at various district campuses in March.<br />
The swim meet began with an opening ceremony where athletes from<br />
each participating team took part in a passing <strong>of</strong> a ceremonial torch. It<br />
included Felipe Rodriguez, who later earned a silver medal with fellow<br />
district athlete’s PJ Wheeler, Connor Carpenter and Christian Mackley in<br />
the 100-yard freestyle relay.<br />
The meet also featured “skills” events for athletes beginning in the<br />
sport. Events included a 15-meter walk and 10-meter assisted swim<br />
where athletes received assistance and encouragement from Cy Ranch<br />
swimmers.<br />
The aquatics season is always an exciting time for the athletes, coaches<br />
and families. It is the first sport season <strong>of</strong> the school year and marks the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> Cy-Fair ISD Special Olympics.<br />
<strong>Cypress</strong>-Fairbanks ISD police <strong>of</strong>ficers receive barbecue plates prepared by members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
CFISD transportation, facilities and construction, food service and operations departments.<br />
CFISD SUPPORT DEPARTMENTS HONOR DISTRICT<br />
LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH LUNCHEON<br />
CFISD has a new chief <strong>of</strong> police, but the district still has the same level <strong>of</strong><br />
appreciation. And Chief Eric Mendez wasn’t shy with his gratitude before,<br />
during and after the fifth annual CFPD/Security Department Appreciation<br />
Luncheon, put on by the staff from CFISD’s transportation, facilities and<br />
construction and operations teams Oct. 9 th at Cy-Fair High School. “In<br />
27 years in law enforcement, I have never seen anything like this type<br />
<strong>of</strong> event,” said Mendez, who joined CFISD in July. “That is specifically<br />
to support a police department and just to give them appreciation for<br />
what they do day in and day out. It’s pretty awesome to see this from the<br />
community and the departments within the district.”<br />
Combining their efforts, volunteers from numerous departments worked<br />
shifts over the weekend to prepare a barbecue lunch for CFISD’s men and<br />
women in blue. It’s the transformation from what started as a simple idea<br />
to give thanks and a grill outside the Telge Transportation Center cooking<br />
hamburgers and hot dogs.<br />
Bill Powell, director <strong>of</strong> transportation, bought retired Chief Alan Bragg lunch one<br />
day six years ago, picking up the tab on a hamburger to show his appreciation.<br />
It turned into burgers and hot dogs. Then came Bridget Roome, transportation<br />
data management specialist and her husband Paul, facilities and construction<br />
special projects manager, who took the luncheon to the next level.<br />
Workers from the departments served lunch and even provided musical<br />
entertainment to the honored guests. CFISD campuses and transportation<br />
centers joined in the effort, buying “We Love CFPD” shirts to help support<br />
the luncheon. The luncheon received more than $15,000 in donations and<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficer giveaways from area businesses and individuals.<br />
In addition to simply giving thanks, Powell said the luncheon was also a<br />
chance for fellowship between the departments. It helped ease frustration<br />
and differing philosophies when Powell and Bragg met for lunch and has<br />
become a way for entire departments do the same.<br />

“This picture was taken up on a tall trianglar wooden 45’ radar<br />
tower. I am black haired fellow on right. I had just turned 19. Fire<br />
Support Base Gela took two assaults by Viet Cong (VC) and were repelled<br />
both times. The first assault occurred on Mother’s Day 1969<br />
and the other was in the summer sometime. The fellow in the middle<br />
Is Dan McIntyre <strong>of</strong> Rifle, Co. We were both wounded together<br />
on Oct 31st at our next Fire Support Base, Apollo, named for the<br />
first moon landing by man in July 17, 1969. Those were the days…<br />
youth spent in some incredible intense times. The Greatest Generation<br />
is anybody who has served in the combat arms in war time,<br />
not just WWII veterans!!”<br />

market. Approximately 300,000 veterans live in the Houston metropolitan<br />

1 scoop <strong>of</strong> smiles<br />
A pinch <strong>of</strong> patience<br />
3 heaping helpings <strong>of</strong> hugs<br />
4 T. <strong>of</strong> tenderness<br />
A dash <strong>of</strong> devotion<br />
3 spoonfuls <strong>of</strong> support<br />
1 C. <strong>of</strong> compassion<br />

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

FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION<br />
FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)<br />
When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent.<br />
That’s difficult for kids who have been wards <strong>of</strong> the state, with necessities<br />
arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out<br />
how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month.<br />
Fortunately, Child protective Services <strong>of</strong>fers them a program to help prepare<br />
for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long course<br />
culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council for Jewish<br />
Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using<br />
computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. Want to help with PAL or<br />
other NCJW programs that help change lives with hands-on community<br />
service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see www.ncjwhouston.org.<br />
