Swans Can Be Dangerous<br />

This time of the year, Mother Nature provides our LOE swans with some<br />

common sense. It is mating, nesting, then egg-laying season and they feel<br />

the need to protect their territory against predators including humans,<br />

dogs and other waterfowl. Most of the swans in our neighborhood are<br />

not old enough to mate but some will go through the motions of even<br />

building a nest. The pairs of swans that are old enough to produce young<br />

(cygnets) are normally gentle and can be fed while posing no threat.<br />

However, our males (cobs) will become aggressive and territorial in<br />

trying to protect their mate and their nest. This is usually temporary until<br />

mating season is over. If you are walking past a lake and a swan swims<br />

to your side and follows you, BEWARE! If you see a swan with his neck<br />

back and feathers up such as the one in the picture, please stay away,<br />

do not attempt to feed him and walk on the other side of the street as he<br />

is in ATTACK position. Please warn your nannies and sitters not to stroll<br />

babies around the swans. We must try to remember that the swans are<br />

protecting their territory and readying it for their young. To antagonize,<br />

tease, throw objects at or injure the swans is a felony and we need to be<br />

as cautious of them as they are to us. Thank you for your cooperation.<br />

Considering Getting A New Dog?<br />

…or if you know friends and family who are, please consider and suggest<br />

rescuing vs. buying a dog from a breeder. We have every breed of purebred<br />

dog available in our Texas pounds and shelters, in great quantities.<br />

This is because of the complete lack of any regulations or limit on<br />

breeding in Texas.<br />

• Approximately 30-40% of euthanasias in pounds involve purebred<br />

animals.<br />

• Mixed breeds in Texas stand almost no chance of making it out of the<br />

pounds alive. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these dogs; they<br />

just had the misfortune of being owned by people who did not provide<br />

for their needs and care and obviously had no real commitment to their<br />

pet.<br />

• Countless numbers of people turn their own dogs in to high-kill shelters,<br />

dump them rurally in the middle of nowhere or let them roam and stray.<br />

It reflects a mentality that most dog lovers do not understand.<br />

• When you or someone you know considers adopting a dog, please<br />

check out one of our five local animal shelters:<br />

1. BARC - Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care i.e. Houston’s animal<br />

control or city pound<br />

2. Harris County Animal Control<br />

3. Houston SPCA<br />

4. Houston Humane Society<br />

5. CAP - Citizens for Animal Protection<br />

Recipes & Gardening Tips<br />

Zucchini Bread<br />

You could make this on National Zucchini Bread Day <strong>April</strong> 25th!<br />

INGREDIENTS:<br />

3 cups all-purpose flour<br />

1 teaspoon baking soda<br />

1/2 teaspoon baking powder<br />

1 teaspoon salt<br />

2 cups sugar<br />

1 cup vegetable oil<br />

3 eggs<br />

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda<br />

and salt. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and oil. Stir in<br />

the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then<br />

stir in the vanilla. Blend this mixture into the flour mixture,<br />

alternately with the sour cream, stir just to combine. Fold in<br />

the zucchini and nuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine.<br />

Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven for 80<br />

comes out clean. http://allrecipes.com<br />

Gardening Tips For <strong>April</strong><br />

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great<br />

many pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When you<br />

buy ‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also buying<br />

ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more on bagged material<br />

and save lots of future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6”<br />

below the top of your homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will<br />

aid in minimizing pests in your home and allow for quick and accurate<br />

termite inspections.<br />

• Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12”<br />

- 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that<br />

is 18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can<br />

grow up next to the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of<br />

the slab. The most conducive to termite infestation are groundcover<br />

plantings, growing high against your homes exterior or (especially) ivy<br />

that grows on your walls.<br />

• Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray<br />

eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to<br />

resist the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The<br />

fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi from<br />

occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a healthy<br />

winter’s dormancy.<br />

• Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop<br />

brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin<br />

and weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a)<br />

lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control.<br />

Most important is proper watering: Water once per week (unless you<br />

get a 1/2” rain or more - then do not water.) • Water heavily (1” - 2”)<br />

for total lawn coverage. • In severe drought, water every 5th day. •<br />

Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT. • A heavy<br />

deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger and more<br />

drought resistant roots. • Less watering also saves you money!!<br />

And Festival Raises Record $110,000<br />

Nearly 6,000 Cypress-Fairbanks ISD staff, students, community members<br />

and business partners came together at the Berry Center and Cy-Fair FCU<br />

Stadium for the sixth annual Superintendent’s Fun Run and Festival on<br />

March 2 nd . The fundraiser culminated with CFISD and Memorial Hermann<br />

Cypress Hospital representatives presenting a check worth a record<br />

$110,000 to the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation (CFEF).<br />

The event featured a 5K run and 1-mile family-friendly walk/run. Both had<br />

new course layouts, with the 5K race taking place through Towne Lake<br />

and Lone Star College-CyFair. The family path included the walkways on<br />

the stadium’s home side and featured high school inflatable tunnels on<br />

the field and spirit teams encouraging participants. Sponsor and vendor<br />

booths, food trucks, bounce houses and student performances made the<br />

day even more special for all event guests.<br />

“We had great crowds and we brought in a record total. I can’t sufficiently<br />

thank our CFISD employees, community and of course, our title sponsor,<br />

Memorial Hermann Cypress,” said Dr. Mark Henry, CFISD superintendent<br />

of schools. “It’s just a great event. When you’re in a large community and<br />

a large district, a community event like this brings us all a little closer<br />

together. That’s what it’s really all about.”<br />

The event drew approximately 4,400 total race participants. In addition,<br />

1,400 registered for the sleep-in pass, which allowed an option for those<br />

who wanted to support the CFEF but were unable to attend. Nearly 550<br />

students volunteered, while 18 student performance groups entertained<br />

race and festival participants. Student performances included the<br />

Cypress Lakes High School R.E.D. Storm, Tipps Elementary School<br />

Synergy Squad, Pope Elementary School percussion ensemble, Francone<br />

Elementary School Hoopers and M. Robinson Elementary School choir.<br />

“This community comes out and supports Cy-Fair ISD and the Cy-Fair<br />

Educational Foundation and Memorial Hermann Cypress is just proud to<br />

be a small part of that,” said Heath Rushing, Memorial Hermann Cypress<br />

and Katy senior vice president and CEO. “The community supports us<br />

and we can’t do what we do without that support, so when there are<br />

opportunities for us to give back and help provide scholarships for<br />

students within the district, it’s really easy for us to come out here and be<br />

part of such a great event.”<br />

One of the largest non-celebrity tournaments in the Houston area, the<br />

B.F. Adam Golf Classic is a prime example of our trustees and community<br />

business partners working together to raise scholarship funds for<br />

students of Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. Our first tournament raised $3,500<br />

and over the past 30 years the B. F. Adam Golf Classic has successfully<br />

raised almost $3.5M.<br />

CFEF was established in 1970 as a non-profit to raise money to fund<br />

scholarships for high school graduates. Through the generosity of the<br />

Cy-Fair community and commitment from the Board of Trustees, the<br />

Foundation has grown tremendously with scholarship awards totaling<br />

more than $8.5M to graduating seniors from Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. CFEF<br />

is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, all contributions are tax deductible,<br />

as allowed by the law.<br />

Still on the Fence About Hosting an<br />

Exchange Student?<br />

You don’t have any kids? Are you a single parent? Same sex couple? An<br />

empty nester? This is not a problem, we place our students in all kinds<br />

of families!<br />

You’re not rich? Neither am I! Your exchange student comes with their<br />

own spending money and health insurance. All you provide is room/<br />

board and three meals a day. Oh and TLC…but that’s free.<br />

Live in the middle of nowhere? Small town? Not a big deal. Some kids prefer<br />

to get away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The exchange students<br />

also do pretty well in small schools, as they usually get to be the center of<br />

attention and make friends rather quickly. Our students also get chances<br />

to travel to New York, Washington DC, Hawaii and California… so they can<br />

get their fill of the city life and return back to the peaceful sounds of nature.<br />

Do you consider yourself a boring person? More than likely this is not true<br />

and you should quit being so hard on yourself. Your student will make<br />

friends. Your student will meet other exchange students. Your student will<br />

attend activities offered by our program. Your student will get involved in<br />

sports and school clubs. Your purpose is not to entertain them. But you<br />

might find that you bring a little adventure to each other’s lives.<br />

Kids are too young? Great! Lots of students love young kids and your kids<br />

will love them. It’s beneficial to introduce your kids to new cultures at a<br />

very young age. You’re preparing them to accept people no matter what<br />

the religion, color of their skin,or language they speak. That my friend, is<br />

good parenting.<br />

Don’t hold back! This is a great experience for both parties. You get the<br />

opportunity to change a child’s life. You get the satisfaction of seeing<br />

them grow, even after they leave your home into becoming a doctor, a<br />

lawyer, a diplomat, artist, teacher… the list goes on. And you contributed<br />

to that success! And the best part of it all, is you gain another family<br />

member for life. We need people like you to give these kids a chance.<br />

STS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to place<br />

exchange students in our area. If you are interest in hosting, please<br />

contact me at 832-455-7881 or at vicki.stsfoundation@yahoo.com. I’ll be<br />

happy to answer any question you might have and get you started on<br />

hosting your very own student!<br />

CELEBRATE PASSOVER IN NORTHWEST HOUSTON<br />

This year beginning on sundown of <strong>April</strong> 19 th , we will be Celebrating<br />

Passover, marking exactly 3,331 years since the Exodus from ancient<br />

Egypt! Few Jewish holidays evoke the same warm sentiments as<br />

Passover. Memories of family and friends gathered as the four cups of<br />

wine are poured, the four questions asked and the Matzah served, all<br />

contribute to Passover’s popularity in the Jewish community. Bringing<br />

the warmth and tradition of this festival to the Cy-Fair Community,<br />

Chabad of Cypress & Northwest Houston is inviting all Jewish residents<br />

to participate in the Community Seder to be held on Friday night, <strong>April</strong><br />

19 th .<br />

“The Seder takes participants through the wondrous liberation of our<br />

ancestors from Egyptian bondage, while sharing the relevance and<br />

beauty of the age old festival in our modern lives.” Included in the Seder<br />

will be a delectable catered dinner paired with a variety of fine imported<br />

wines and handmade round ‘Shmurah’ Matzah.<br />

“Passover is not simply a celebration of the historic liberation of an<br />

ancient people,” Rabbi Levi Marinovsky, Director of Chabad of Chabad of<br />

Cypress, stated in the press release. “Passover is about our own personal<br />

liberation - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Passover inspires us<br />

to break free from the shackles restraining us from reaching new heights<br />

- in our lives, relationships and connection with God.”<br />

Chabad’s community seder is part of a global Passover campaign that<br />

began in 1954, when the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of<br />

blessed memory, considered the most influential rabbi in modern history,<br />

launched the Shmurah Matzah initiative as part of an effort to create<br />

awareness and promote observance of the holiday. An estimated four<br />

million hand-baked Shmurah Matzahs will be distributed by the Chabad-<br />

Lubavitch movement this year. If you would like a Free Handmade<br />

Shmurah Matzah delivered directly to your door, please email rabbi@<br />

chabadcypress.com.<br />

All are welcome to join the community seder, regardless of Jewish<br />

affiliation or background. To make a reservation or for more details,<br />

contact Rabbi@chabadcypress.com or 832-651-6964. To Learn More<br />

about Passover visit: ChabadCypress.com/Passover.<br />

Chabad of Cypress & Northwest Houston is a non-profit organization<br />

serving the Cypress, Jersey Village, Copperfield and other Northwest<br />

Houston areas with meaningful and joyful opportunities for Jewish<br />

living, learning and celebration.<br />

ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON SCHOLA CANTORUM<br />

Do you want your children to become lifelong servants of the Church?<br />

Singing in a children’s choir is a great way to help that. The St. Elizabeth<br />

Ann Seton Schola Cantorum is currently accepting children Grades 4-12 for<br />

its after-school choir program. The choir is responsible for enriching the<br />

Mass on 10:30 on Sundays and rehearses every Wednesday from 3:45-5<br />

PM. Unique in the area, the choir focuses on singing music from the rich<br />

Catholic tradition, including chant and polyphony, as well as the finest<br />

modern church music. Time is devoted to building the children’s skills of<br />

music reading, vocal technique, thinking about the words and the structure<br />

and meaning of the Mass. Service hours are available for older students. For<br />

more information, please contact Dr. Douglas O’Neill at doneill@seascs.org.<br />
