Houston Places First in the US and<br />

Third Globally for Species Diversity<br />

Citizen Scientists in The Greater Houston and Galveston area competed in<br />

the Third Annual City Nature Challenge and won first place in the United<br />

States for most species identified during April 26-29, <strong>2019</strong>. The Houston<br />

participants identified 3,367 species of flora and fauna from backyards to city<br />

parks to wildlife refuges and sanctuaries. The city took third place globally<br />

with Cape Town and Hong Kong coming in first and second respectively.<br />

During the City Nature Challenge, cities around the world compete to see<br />

which urban area has the most nature and the most engaged residents<br />

by posting observations on iNaturalist, an online Citizen Science effort to<br />

document species. This year’s City Nature Challenge included 159 cities<br />

around the world with almost one million observations recorded.<br />

898 people in the Houston-Galveston area contributed to this year’s<br />

Challenge. Eric Keith of Raven Environmental Services, Inc. and Andy<br />

Newman of Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC were the top local<br />

observers. The top species observed was the beautiful wildflower<br />

Oenothera speciosa, also known locally as Pinkladies or Buttercup.<br />

The Houston City Nature Challenge is organized by Houston Audubon,<br />

The Nature Conservancy in Texas and Texas Parks and Wildlife. To view<br />

<strong>2019</strong> results, click on http://citynaturechallenge.org/.<br />

Established in 1969 as an autonomous, self-supporting chapter of the<br />

National Audubon Society, Houston Audubon Society’s mission is to<br />

advance the conservation of birds and positively impact their supporting<br />

environments which it accomplishes through acquiring and maintaining<br />

critical habitat as bird sanctuaries, providing education programs and<br />

nature experiences for children and adults and advocating policy and<br />

management actions in support of the mission. Houston Audubon owns<br />

and manages 17 nature sanctuaries encompassing 3,400 acres across<br />

the Greater Houston and Galveston regions and became an Accredited<br />

Land Trust in 2017. To learn more, visit www.houstonaudubon.org.<br />

The Nature Conservancy is a global conservation organization dedicated to<br />

conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided by science, we<br />

create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s toughest challenges<br />

so that nature and people can thrive together. We are tackling climate change,<br />

conserving lands, waters and oceans at an unprecedented scale, providing food<br />

and water sustainably and helping make cities more sustainable. Working in 72<br />

countries, we use a collaborative approach that engages local communities,<br />

governments, the private sector and other partners. To learn more, visit www.<br />

Help Make the World a Better Place<br />

Did you know that by opening your home to a foreign exchange student<br />

you are taking on the role as a diplomat of the United States? Its true!<br />

Hosting a teenager from another country is a form of public diplomacy -<br />

it gives both the host family and the student an opportunity to learn from<br />

each other, exchange cultural experiences and most of all, form life-long<br />

relationships.<br />

All that is required of a host family is to provide three meals a day, a<br />

place for the student to sleep and a little bit of TLC thrown in. Students<br />

can share a room with a same sex sibling that is within three years of<br />

their age. The students all come with their own spending money, health<br />

insurance and an eagerness to be part of your family.<br />

STS Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, is looking for volunteer host<br />

families for the <strong>2019</strong>/2020 school year. We accept all different types<br />

of families, from single parents, to newly marrieds, to empty nesters<br />

to same sex couples. The application process is simple, once you are<br />

completely vetted, you will have access to our student database where<br />

you can select the student that best fits in with your family.<br />

If you would like to find out more about hosting one of our wonderful<br />

students, please contact Vicki Odom at 832-455-7881 or email at vicki.<br />

stsfoundation@yahoo.com. I can get you started in helping to make the<br />

world a better place to live.<br />

Sun Safety Tips for Campers<br />

A few, easy sun protection measures can help all campers, counselors<br />

and staff avoid any immediate or long-term effects of sun exposure.<br />

• Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 on all exposed skin, including<br />

the lips, daily even on cloudy days; apply sunscreen about 20 minutes<br />

before being exposed to the sun; reapply sunscreen frequently (at least<br />

twice a day) and thoroughly. • Stay away from the sun in the middle of the<br />

day. Schedule outdoor activities before 10 AM and after 4 PM. • Encourage<br />

everyone to wear a wide-brim hat. • Try to wear clothes that protect your<br />

skin (ideally long-sleeve shirts and long pants) and sunglasses. • Practice<br />

the “shadow rule” - seek shade when your shadow is shorter than you<br />

are tall. • Speak out: talk to your family and friends about sun protection.<br />

• Be especially careful if you have fair skin, freckles or numerous moles;<br />

blond, red or light-brown hair; blue, green or gray eyes; a tendency to<br />

burn easily and to tan little or not at all and a family history of skin cancer.<br />

There is no quick cure for minor sunburn. But wet compresses, tub baths<br />

and soothing lotions may provide some relief.<br />

Summer’s Best Hydrating Foods<br />

Hot summers. Sticky humidity. Water doesn’t quench everything. There<br />

are other great healthy options when it comes to staying hydrated during<br />

the hot Houston summer months: fresh fruits and vegetables! Choose one<br />

or a few of these hydrating summer foods and prepare a decadent salad,<br />

smoothie or raw food entrée that will feed your body and your spirit!<br />

• Cucumbers - Cucumbers taste great raw, sliced thin, are made of mostly<br />

water and are one of the best foods to hydrate the body. You can even<br />

float them in your water for a unique, refreshing drink. • Watermelon -<br />

Again, this fruit is mostly water and contain essential hydrating salts,<br />

calcium, magnesium and potassium. • Cabbage - Cabbage has tons of<br />

Vitamin C and is packed with fiber. This summer vegetable is rich in natural<br />

probiotics, which help to keep the digestive system working efficiently. •<br />

Lettuce - Most lettuces are about 90% water. Be sure to choose the leafy<br />

green variety. • Tomatoes - Sliced, wedges or even simply cut in half,<br />

tomatoes are refreshing and also very healthy. • Berries - Raspberries,<br />

blueberries and strawberries are at their peak during the summer. These<br />

super fruits are chock full of antioxidants and Vitamin C and are great<br />

for detoxing the entire body. • Figs - These summer beauties taste so<br />

indulgent. Make a fig chutney, with some medijool dates and enjoy it<br />

on whole grain crackers as a potassium and fiber filled treat. • Cherries -<br />

Cherries have more antioxidants and Vitamin C than almost any food on<br />

the planet. • Grapes - These hydrating balls of goodness are known for<br />

their extremely high content of Resveratrol, a substance that acts as an<br />

antioxidant and is heart-friendly. • Carrots - Carrots are almost all water.<br />

Summer offers some the tastiest carrots, surprisingly grown in more<br />

colors than just orange, such as yellow and green. Carrots are natural<br />

sources of beta-carotene. Courtesy of http://renewedlivinginc.co<br />

<strong>July</strong> Is National Ice Cream Month<br />

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated <strong>July</strong> as National Ice Cream<br />

Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. He<br />

recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by over<br />

90 percent of the nation’s population. In the proclamation, President<br />

Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these<br />

events with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” The International<br />

Ice Cream Association (IICA) encourages retailers and consumers to<br />

celebrate <strong>July</strong> as National Ice Cream Month. About 10.3 percent of all<br />

the milk produced by U.S. dairy farmers is used to produce ice cream,<br />

contributing significantly to the economic well-being of the nation’s<br />

dairy industry.<br />

INGREDIENTS:<br />

3 tablespoons white sugar<br />

1 cup heavy cream<br />

3 egg yolks<br />

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />

2 tablespoons white sugar, divided<br />

DIRECTIONS:<br />

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk 3 tablespoons<br />

sugar and cream in a microwave-safe bowl until well combined; heat<br />

the mixture in microwave until warm, 1 to 2 minutes and whisk again<br />

to dissolve sugar. Whisk in egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth.<br />

Pour cream mixture into 2 ramekins. Set ramekins into a roasting<br />

pan and pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of<br />

the ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven until creme desserts are<br />

set but still slightly jiggly when shaken, about 50 minutes. Remove<br />

ramekins from hot water and chill in refrigerator until cold, at least<br />

2 hours. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the top of each<br />

dessert. Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast and melt the sugar<br />

topping until brown and bubbly, about 30 seconds. Let the sugar<br />

topping cool before serving. To serve, use a spoon to crack the crisp<br />

sugar open to reveal the creamy dessert underneath. Source: http://<br />
