WATCH FOR KIDS WHILE DRIVING<br />
The roads are once again crawling with school busses, teenage<br />
drivers and kids in the crosswalk, so please slow down when going<br />
through the neighborhood. Now that kids will be back on their way<br />
to school, it’s time to double and triple check those intersections,<br />
just when you think it’s all systems go, a late for school student will<br />
magically appear out of nowhere and dart across the street when<br />
you least anticipate it. Thank you!<br />
GLENCAIRN CRIME WATCH<br />
TIPS FROM OUR DEPUTIES AND P.O.V. DEPUTIES<br />
Statistics have proven that outdoor lighting of your home is one of the<br />
easiest, least costly and obvious deterrents a homeowner can utilize<br />
to help prevent becoming a victim of the crime. So, why is it that so<br />
many <strong>Glencairn</strong> residents fail to take advantage of lighting?<br />
As observed by your Contract Deputies and P.O.V. Deputies and as<br />
followed with a visual survey done, a staggering 60% of homes had<br />
no form of outdoor security lighting whatsoever.<br />
The actual information was gathered on a street by street basis. However,<br />
to report each street’s statistics would have been both lengthy<br />
in space as well as further adding to the potential of criminal activity<br />
on those darkest of streets. It is with the interest of residents that<br />
this report is given, in hopes of shedding some light (pun intended)<br />
on what is an alarming number of homes in our neighborhood without<br />
any form of outdoor lighting. In addition to lighting your home’s<br />
exterior, a clear and unobstructed view of the front and sides of your<br />
homes would best serve you, the resident, as these deputies patrol.<br />
The Deputies clearly are not suggesting residents cut down every<br />
shrub blocking any portion of your home. Many residents expend<br />
many hours of labor keeping their yards and shrubs trimmed and<br />
looking attractive. It is only their intent to remind those who need<br />
to do a little “bush-wacking” to pull out the hedge clippers and for<br />
those who need to either add to or utilize existing lighting do so. It<br />
should also be noted that in these nights of observation, far too many<br />
garage doors were left open, as well as bicycles and other valuables<br />
left outside making you an easy target for crime.<br />
One further note from your Deputies and P.O.V. Deputies, it would<br />
greatly behoove you to check and repaint as needed the street numbers<br />
marked on your curbs. This will assist any and all emergency<br />
personnel in finding your home if and when you ever needed it.<br />

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS<br />
Your Board of Directors are volunteers from your community that give<br />
up their time in an effort to make <strong>Glencairn</strong> a better place to live. More<br />
importantly, they strive to keep the property values up since your<br />
home is probably your single largest investment. We trust you will<br />
understand that Board members do not mind discussing association<br />
issues with members. We respectfully request that homeowners do<br />
not approach Board members away from Board or member meetings<br />
to discuss personal deed restriction or collection matters. The<br />
individual Board members cannot make a decision on an individual<br />
basis. It takes a majority vote of the Board to make a decision. That<br />
is why the Board meets on Mondays before the member meeting to<br />
discuss issues with members.<br />
CALL SHERIFF’S OFFICE TO REPORT<br />
AFTER HOURS & ILLEGAL ACTIVITY<br />
If your home backs up to the greenbelt, please call the Sheriff’s Office<br />
at 713-221-6000 if you see or hear suspicious people, underage drinking,<br />
graffiti artists or any activity after 10 PM, etc. Graffiti has extended<br />
to some homeowner fences and to the sidewalks. It is imperative that<br />
you call the Sheriff’s Office, give your address and explain that this<br />
area is behind your home in order to get this activity stopped.<br />
2 <strong>September</strong> <strong>2018</strong> | Community Newsletter
We are looking at solutions to this problem of recalcitrant teens and<br />
young people in their 20’s who have nothing better to do with their<br />
time than disobey the law and terrorize the neighbors.<br />
All common areas (the pool area, the parks, the civic center, tennis<br />
courts, etc.) in <strong>Glencairn</strong> are closed at 10 PM. After 10 PM, people at any<br />
of the common areas are in violation of the trespassing laws of Texas.<br />
EMAIL LIST SET UP FOR INSTANT PROBLEM NOTIFICATION<br />
If you would like to join the <strong>Glencairn</strong> Crime Watch email list, please<br />
send your name, address and telephone number along with the email,<br />
which you check frequently, to Patty Hill at glencairncrimewatch@<br />
live.com. The meeting for the <strong>Glencairn</strong> Crime Watch is the second<br />
Wednesday of the month.<br />
You will receive information, which has been sent to me from the Sheriff’s<br />
Office, from citizens who have observed events, etc. In addition,<br />
if you want to volunteer as a Block Captain for your street, you can do<br />
so by sending an email.<br />
Sadly, in this era of commuting and busy schedules, few of us get to<br />
know our neighbors. At one time in our history, neighbors knew when<br />
there was a problem and immediately told their neighbors. This effort<br />
will offer information as it comes to my attention. Rumors will be<br />
checked out by the Sheriff’s Office before the information is shared via<br />
email to the residents. <strong>Glencairn</strong> is doing a great job watching out for<br />
each other and calling the Sheriff’s Department to report suspicious<br />
activities, our criminal activity has steadily gone down.<br />
SLOW DOWN IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS<br />
Almost everyone is aware that the Sheriff’s Office has adopted a zero<br />
tolerance of speeding and other violations of the law with a motor<br />
vehicle. That zero tolerance has resulted in an average of 50 tickets per<br />
month issued in <strong>Glencairn</strong>. The speed limit in residential areas, by Texas<br />
law, is 30 miles per hour. There are cautionary signs regarding slower<br />
speeds on curves. There are stop signs, which indicate the vehicle<br />
must come to a complete stop. Residents of <strong>Glencairn</strong> want to see a<br />
slower pace of traffic for the protection of all-especially the children.<br />
For some reason, the people of Harris County seem to be perpetually<br />
late. A suggestion for each of us is to leave five minutes early in order to<br />
avoid the impulse to speed. Develop patience; we do not want a fatality<br />
auto-pedestrian accident in our neighborhood or any serious accident<br />
caused by thoughtless speed. Be mindful of where you are driving.<br />

STREETLIGHTS OUT?<br />
Please report outages of streetlights to Centerpoint Energy. Get the pole<br />
number, as well as, the nearest street address and call 713-207-2222.<br />
It is very important that non-working lights are reported for the safety<br />
of each of us. Call it in, call it in!<br />
Itch, Ouch, Scratch, It’s Bug Season<br />
Whether you’re attacked while working in the garden, enjoying a picnic<br />
in the park or lounging by the pool, bug bites and stings are an inevitable<br />
summer annoyance. At best, bites and stings can be uncomfortable for a few<br />
days; at worst, they can be a serious, life-threatening hazard.<br />
some tips on how to relieve the itch or sting and when to know if you<br />
should seek medical attention:<br />
If the bite or sting is mildly painful or itchy, apply over-the-counter<br />
medication that contains Benadryl or cortisone for topical relief. Other home<br />
remedies, like applying a paste made from baking soda and water, dabbing<br />
on ammonia with a cotton ball, soaking in oatmeal baths or even applying<br />
toothpaste to the site may also provide relief.<br />
Whatever you do, don’t scratch. This can cause an infection and leave a<br />
scar. And it won’t relieve the itch or sting.<br />
If you feel faint, nauseous, dizzy or disoriented or if you experience rapid<br />
heartbeat, difficulty breathing or your lips, tongue or throat swell, call 911<br />
immediately and get medical attention. These symptoms indicate a severe<br />
allergy to the insect’s venom. Administer an Epi-pen (injectable epinephrine)<br />
if one is available and administer CPR if symptoms worsen before emergency<br />
personnel arrive. After the episode, follow up with a physician who can<br />
determine an allergy prevention treatment.<br />
Stay alert for delayed symptoms around the bite or sting, like redness or<br />
swelling, which could indicate an infection or other condition. And see<br />
a doctor right away if you have a headache, fever or joint pain within a<br />
few days of being bitten. Some insects, like ticks and mosquitoes, can<br />
infect their victims with serious, flulike illnesses, such as Rocky Mountain<br />
spotted fever, Lyme disease and West Nile virus, which only a physician can<br />
diagnose and treat.<br />
Most important, use insect repellant when outdoors and wear light-weight,<br />
light-colored clothing over arms, legs and feet to keep insects off your skin. And<br />
avoid wearing perfume and fragrances, which can attract bugs<br />

HISTORY, ACTIVITIES AND GIFT IDEAS<br />
Grandparents Day is always celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day.<br />
Take the time to honor your grandparents with these ideas!<br />
WHY DO WE CELEBRATE GRANDPARENTS DAY?<br />
History of Grandparents Day: Marian McQuade hoped to establish a national day that<br />
would honor grandparents and in 1970 she began a campaign to do so. McQuade raised<br />
awareness about senior citizens throughout the 1970s. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter<br />
declared the first Sunday after Labor Day to be National Grandparents Day. Each year,<br />
the president issues a proclamation to keep the tradition going.<br />
Grandparents Day has both an official flower and song. The official flower is the forgetme-not,<br />
and the song is Johnny Prill’s “A Song for Grandma and Grandpa.” Both were<br />
chosen by the National Grandparents Day Council.<br />
GRANDPARENTS DAY ACTIVITIES AND GIFTS<br />
Let’s appreciate all the joy and wisdom that grandparents bring to our lives!<br />
Many schools celebrate Grandparents Day with special activities or assemblies.<br />
Students often invite their grandparents into the schools for a day and the<br />
children find creative ways to celebrate their grandparents. Some towns will<br />
also hold special events for Grandparents Day.<br />
Most grandparents don’t care what activity they do-they just want to spend time with<br />
their grandchildren. Maybe ask your grandparents to show you one of their favorite<br />
hobbies. Many National Parks hold special Grandparents Day events and it can be fun<br />
to spend time with your grandparents exploring nature. If your grandparent would<br />
prefer a calm day, ask them to show you their favorite movie. No matter what, the best<br />
Grandparents Day activity involves you and your grandparents together, celebrating<br />
your family and each other.<br />
Some families get cards or gifts for the grandparents on Grandparents Day.<br />
Most grandparents would say that a handwritten card is the perfect gift.<br />
Another great gift is simply to take your grandparents somewhere fun. Maybe your<br />
grandfather loves baseball, so you can get him tickets to see his favorite team with<br />
you. Let your grandparents teach you a skill, like how to fish. Or, perhaps it would be<br />
fun to make arts and crafts together.<br />
Maybe you can bring them some treats, like Grandpa’s Banana Bread or Grandmother’s<br />
Blueberry Cake, both made by talented grandparents. Or, try making one<br />
of the dishes that your grandparents usually make for you.<br />
On Grandparents Day, it really is the thought that counts-just make sure your<br />
grandparents know that you’re thinking of them.<br />
What’s your favorite way to celebrate Grandparents Day? Let us know below,<br />
and happy Grandparents Day!<br />

MAILBOX TAMPERING<br />
When a mailbox is put into use for the purposes of sending and receiving<br />
mail, it becomes federal property.<br />
Mailbox tampering is considered any act that interferes with another<br />
person’s letter box or other receptacle. This can include:<br />
• destruction of the mailbox itself<br />
• theft of mailbox contents<br />
• the placement of items in a mail receptacle by persons<br />
other than postal employees<br />
• any action intended to obstruct or damage mail or mailbox property<br />

BE AWARE OF THEFT POTENTIAL<br />
Many of us have a habit of leaving the garage door open when we are<br />
working or relaxing in the backyard. Unfortunately, people in virtually<br />
every neighborhood lose property to opportunistic thieves this way<br />
every year. Bicycles and power tools are just a few of the commonly<br />
stolen things and keep in mind that it only takes a matter of seconds<br />
for something of significant value to “walk away.” Please keep those<br />
doors down when you are not in eyesight of the garage.<br />
HARRIS COUNTY ALARM DETAIL<br />
In order to increase compliance and spread awareness, our office is<br />
requesting your assistance in informing residents in your community<br />
through your HOA newsletter or your scheduled HOA meetings of the need<br />
to obtain a permit for operating an alarm system, residential or business,<br />
within unincorporated Harris County. Many residents and businesses are<br />
unaware of the requirement to obtain an alarm permit once an alarm<br />
system has been installed and activated by the alarm company. Alarm<br />
systems are established and defined in the Local Government Code 233<br />
(subchapter D), as well as the authority to regulate, adopt rules and impose<br />
penalties for unpermitted locations. Obtaining the required permit<br />
will avoid the issuance of a citation and excessive false alarm fees. The<br />
fee for current permit issuance is $35 with a yearly renewal fee of $10. All<br />
permit fees are waived for senior citizens 65 years or older. Under current<br />
guidelines, a permitted location is allowed five (5) free false alarms annually.<br />
Any subsequent false alarms during your permitted year are subject<br />
to a $75 fine that is billed to the permit holder’s address. If a site has an<br />
active alarm system, yet does not have a permit to operate such alarm, a<br />
false alarm may result in a Class C citation, which could range up to $500.<br />
Should you require a copy of the permit application form or would like<br />
to review the regulations regarding permit requirements, you maydo so<br />
by visiting the Harris County Sheriff’s Office website at www. hcso.hctx./<br />
net. The application can be printed from the website, then completed<br />
and mailed to our office with the applicable fees. We are currently in<br />
the planning stages of making the application and payment process<br />
available on-line for the convenience to the public. Should you have<br />
any questions, please contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Alarm<br />
Detail at 713-755-4600 M-F, 8 AM - 5 PM.<br />
PET ID TAGS<br />
Folks - as soon as the vet gives your young pets their Rabies shot remember<br />
to get their ID tags. The Rabies tag lists the name, phone number and address<br />
of the vet. So! All you need to do is put the Rabies tag onto the pet’s<br />
collar and leave it there all the time. That way, if the pet gets loose, anyone<br />
finding him or her can look at the tag to see the vet’s phone number and<br />
call to report the lost animal. Better yet, add another tag to your pet’s collar<br />
that lists the dog or cat’s name and your own phone number or address. You<br />
can get these from any pet store. When a pet has these but goes astray,<br />
anyone finding it can call you and you can go get him or her right away.<br />

SCOOP YOUR PET’S POOP<br />
Please remember to be respectful of your neighbors’ yards and the<br />
community grounds. When you take your pet for a walk, come prepared<br />
with a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. If your pet<br />
poops during your walk, please scoop and trash. It may not be the most<br />
fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show that you respect your<br />
fellow neighbors’ and our beautiful community.<br />
HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW<br />
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents.<br />
While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at<br />
someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children<br />
are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could result in the<br />
child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.<br />
Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept<br />
under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas.<br />
The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep<br />
any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”<br />
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following<br />
circumstances:<br />
1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in<br />
length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable of<br />
controlling or governing the dog or cat in question<br />
2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle<br />
3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not<br />
have access to sidewalk or street.”<br />
While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work<br />
or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained.<br />
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for<br />
all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only<br />
protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also<br />
the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued<br />
for failing to properly restrain their pet.<br />
To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly<br />
restrained please contact:<br />

Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.<br />
• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood. Light green leaves<br />
may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates.<br />
• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around the roots.<br />
• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. Follow up with a dose of fertilizer<br />
the first week of <strong>September</strong>.<br />
• Plants come out of summer rest and go crazy. Insect populations explode as we get into<br />
cooler temperatures. Diseases that have been dormant wake up.<br />
- Citrus, croton, avocado and mango are susceptible to spider mites and thrips. Discourage<br />
them with a strong jet of water from a hose directed to the undersides of the leaves.<br />
- Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and ixora are susceptible to scale and mealybug.<br />
• Winter vegetable gardens and perennials get planted.<br />
• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.<br />
• Fire ants baits should be put out in <strong>September</strong>-October to lessen the number of eggs<br />
that make it to Spring.<br />
• St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer during <strong>September</strong>. Continue to mow at maximum<br />
height. You want to leave a lot of leaf surface to produce carbohydrate reserves for<br />
the winter.<br />
• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign of them is grass that appears to stop growing.<br />
You need to get them early for biological controls to work. When the caterpillars are only 1/4<br />
inch, Bacillus thuringiensis applications can slow them. Bt is a bacteria that works on the caterpillars’<br />
digestive systems and makes them stop feeding. Do the application late in the day.<br />
The larvae feed at night and you want them to get nice fresh Bt.<br />
• When the heat and drought end, the weather could bring brown patch disease in the St.<br />
Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish spots if the nights drop into the 60’s and days stay<br />
in the 80’s.<br />
• Get any pruning of hedges and such done now. You want the flush of new growth to be<br />
hardened-off before the end of October. Tree pruning should be put off until winter, when<br />
the trees are dormant.<br />
• Pre-emerge herbicide applications targeting annual bluegrass and the earlier-germinating<br />
winter broadleaf weeds needed to be put out starting in mid-August.<br />

Shotgun start 11 AM. This annual golf tournament benefits the<br />
Adam J. Skinner Memorial Scholarship of the Cy-Fair Educational<br />
Foundation. In the 20 years since the tournament was established,<br />
more than $111,000 has been given to the Adam Skinner Memorial<br />
Scholarship.<br />
The Cypress-Fairbanks Educational Foundation<br />
(CFEF) makes it possible to award the scholarship in Adam’s name<br />
for years to come. The scholarship is funded by family and friends on<br />
holidays and Adam’s birthday and a large portion has been donated<br />
from some of the proceeds from the Adam J. Skinner Memorial Golf<br />
Tournament every year. The Skinners wanted the scholarship to be<br />
given to a student who emulates some of Adam’s traits and interests,<br />
someone who is outgoing, optimistic and extremely energetic, possibly<br />
playing team sports, choir, high school drama, debate or Boy<br />
Scouts of America participation. Thanks to these golf tournaments,<br />
the scholarship amount was increased to $12,000 in 2017 and is<br />

Action Plan at the Board of Trustees committee-of-the-whole meeting<br />
on Aug. 9 th .<br />
Comprised of representatives of the CFISD leadership team, the committee<br />

current security initiatives that are already in place as well as explore<br />
what additional layers could be implemented for the district this year.<br />
Featuring roundtable discussions with experts as well as input from<br />
all campus principals and the Community Leadership Committee,<br />
the meetings resulted in an action plan focused on prevention of,<br />
identification and intervention of and response to potential security<br />
threats during a time when the nationwide focus is on school safety.<br />
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s School and Firearm Safety Action Plan, released<br />
on May 30 th , was used by the committee as a baseline to review<br />
school safety and implement recommended strategies.<br />

SUICIDE RATES ARE CLIMBING - WHAT YOU CAN DO<br />
Nationally, suicides rates have risen 23% since 2000. Behind Alzheimer’s<br />
disease and drug overdoses, suicide is the fastest growing cause of<br />
death in the United States and is the second leading cause of death<br />
for ages 15-34. Within Texas, Montgomery County has seen the second<br />
highest increase in the state at 16%. Local non-profit Shield Bearer<br />
Counseling Centers wants you to know it can be prevented.<br />
If you have suicidal thoughts:<br />
1) Share your thoughts with someone - do not keep silent,<br />
there are other options<br />
2) Ask for help from a professional counselor - Shield Bearer has<br />
6 Houston area locations and is open for appointments from<br />
8 AM-8 PM M-F and 9 AM-5 PM on Saturdays<br />
3) Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK(8255)<br />
4) Chat online confidentially at suicidepreventionlifeline.org<br />
5) Call 911 - there are police teams specially trained with greater<br />
sensitivity to mental health issues who will respond and get<br />
help as quickly as possible<br />
If you wonder if someone you know is considering suicide:<br />
1) Call to check on them<br />
2) Schedule time with them<br />
3) Make sure they know you care<br />
If someone tells you that they are considering suicide:<br />
1) Listen and ask questions<br />
2) Get help immediately<br />
3) Don’t be silent!<br />
“If someone says they are considering suicide, this means that there is<br />
a part of them that doesn’t want to do it, but another part of them that<br />
feels completely hopeless and as if there is no other choice. Their pain is<br />
so overwhelming that they may believe death is the only escape - but this<br />
isn’t true. There are options and there is always hope with the right support<br />
and care,” states Shield Bearer Clinical Coordinator Allie Scott, LPC.<br />

non-profit organization dedicated to hope and healing for individuals,<br />
couples, and families, visit shieldbearer.org and follow them on<br />

HOW TO CELEBRATE READ A BOOK DAY<br />
Read a Book Day comes to us every <strong>September</strong> 6 th . It may seem strange<br />
to celebrate an activity that plenty of us enjoy many, if not most, days<br />
of the year. But it never hurts to indulge in something extra to make a<br />
cherished activity more enjoyable. You can read outside, enjoy a snack,<br />
reflect on what a favorite book means to you and more. Here are five<br />
ideas to celebrate Read a Book Day.<br />
Read Outside<br />
Read a Book Day fortunately coincides with a time of year that for much<br />
of the globe brings pleasant weather. Late summer often provides the<br />
right amount of sun and heat, begging a reader to bring books outside.<br />
Granted, that’s a bit difficult for those of us who have to spend prime<br />
daylight hours at work or in school, but you can always sneak some<br />
reading time in the early morning, late afternoon or evening. Take your<br />
book to the beach, an outdoor table, the porch or anywhere else that<br />
makes your day of reading a little more special.<br />
Enjoy a Book With Good Food (or a Drink)<br />
C.S. Lewis said that “Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine<br />
admirably.” We might take this as a cue for our own Read a Book Day<br />
celebration. There are some things to consider, though. I, for one, traditionally<br />
have trouble finding the right food to eat while reading (fruit like<br />
grapes and strawberries wet my fingers and the pages and large meals<br />
involving fork and knife make holding the book open unwieldy). But for<br />
Read a Book Day, I might put those past failures behind me. Baked goods<br />
like cookies and pastries make for great company, while coffee and tea<br />
are always enhancements to a good story. Heck, it’s the summer. You<br />
might even celebrate the day with a glass of wine or a special cocktail.<br />
Share a Quote or Reflection on Social Media<br />
Many a book goes unread because it gets lost in the noise. It can be<br />
hard to know what’s worth our attention in the dizzying selection of<br />
books we have available and one of the most important resources we<br />
have as readers is a good recommendation. You can celebrate reading<br />
by excerpting a favorite quote from a book and sharing it on Facebook<br />
or Twitter. If you want to go the extra mile, dress up a favorite title for<br />
a photo on Instagram and caption it with why it means something to<br />
you. Picking the right book intimidates more people than you think<br />
and you never know who you’re helping and who might add your<br />
recommendation to their reading list.<br />
Go Outside of Your Typical Selection Habits<br />
Some readers want to own their books and love bookstores. Some readers<br />
prefer the different selection and freedom of a library. Others prefer shopping<br />
online. All of these habits are great, but it can be rewarding to try something<br />
new. Does your community have a used bookstore? There’s a lot that might<br />
surprise you, especially if you’re used to going to Barnes & Noble. Do you<br />
like to shop online for books? There are plenty of places where you can get<br />
old, unusual, rare or interesting editions that the major vendors won’t have.<br />
Plus, it always pays to visit your local library. A little difference can go a long<br />
way in reminding you of the wide cultural world of books.<br />
Ask Someone for a Recommendation<br />
Celebrating books goes the other way, too. It’s always good to make<br />
something solitary, like reading, more social. A good way to do this is to<br />
reach out to someone who could give you a recommendation. People<br />
are always happy to share their favorite titles and it’s a nice way to<br />
reconnect with someone over books. After all, a book’s very purpose<br />
is to connect us better to the world in the first place.<br />

NAVIGATING UNEASY RELATIONS<br />
Figuring out how to handle strained relationships<br />
is hard. Emotions can become tumultuous.<br />
Opinions can harden. How are we<br />
supposed to live out our faith? Loving others<br />
can seem disconcerting, confusing and just<br />
plain difficult. Sometimes we can even forget<br />
our Christian calling, simply dismissing or<br />
degrading those whom we consider “other.”<br />
You know, . . . THOSE People, THAT Person.<br />
How can we better handle these difficulties?<br />
In this journey, we will gain new insights into<br />
the challenges of dealing with differences between<br />
people. Plus, 12 principles will emerge<br />
about loving God, others and self. Besides increasing<br />
self-awareness through assessments,<br />
questions and discussion, we will become<br />
more intentional in action.<br />
WHEN? EIGHT Thursday Evenings, 7-8:30 PM<br />
<strong>September</strong> 6-November 1, <strong>2018</strong> and ONE<br />

APPLE DUMPLING<br />
You could make this on National Apple Dumpling Day <strong>September</strong> 17 th !<br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
1 pastry for double-crust pie<br />
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored<br />
1/2 cup butter<br />
3/4 cup brown sugar<br />
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />
3 cups water<br />
2 cups white sugar<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
DIRECTIONS:<br />
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).<br />
Butter a 9x13 inch pan.<br />
On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a large rectangle, about 24 by<br />

sauce. Divide brown sugar between apples, poking some inside each cored<br />
opening and the rest around the base of each apple. Sprinkle cinnamon and<br />
nutmeg over the apples.<br />
With slightly wet fingertips, bring one corner of pastry square up to the top<br />
of the apple, then bring the opposite corner to the top and press together.<br />
Bring up the two remaining corners and seal. Slightly pinch the dough at<br />
the sides to completely seal in the apple. Repeat with the remaining apples.<br />
Place in prepared baking dish.<br />
In a saucepan, combine water, white sugar, vanilla extract and reserved butter.<br />
Place over medium heat and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil for 5<br />
minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour over dumplings.<br />
Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Place each apple dumpling in<br />
