HEARTHSTONE STREETLIGHTS<br />
The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA coordinates maintenance of all the streetlights<br />
throughout the community. This includes the “cobra head” lights like<br />
you see along many streets and highways, as well as the decorative light<br />
poles along Huffmeister and in some of the neighborhoods.<br />
Cobra head streetlights need to be reported to CenterPoint, using the<br />
pole number, which is the “address” for the light. It is a six digit number<br />
facing the street. You can report streetlights that are not working or<br />
staying on during the day at http://cnp.centerpointenergy.com/outage<br />
(Google streetlight outage) or give us the pole number and we will do it<br />
for you.<br />
Outages or problems with decorative streetlights should be reported to<br />
Inframark at 281-870-0585. Please note the exact intersection or closest<br />
address. The association has a contractor doing a monthly nighttime<br />
inspection for lights that are out, but if you see a problem, please report<br />
it, so we can achieve our goal to keep all the lights on all the time.<br />

SAFETY TIPS - AVOID BEING A VICTIM<br />
1. Call the constable’s office anytime you see a suspicious person and do<br />
not let race, age or gender influence you calling (a suspicious person is<br />
anyone you do not recognize on your street).<br />
2. Call the constable’s office when you see a suspicious vehicle (any<br />
vehicle parked in front of your neighbor’s home or driving around your<br />
street that you don’t recognize).<br />
3. Always keep all your doors and windows locked even when you are at<br />
home.<br />
4. Always keep your overhead garage door in the down position.<br />
5. Remember neighbors looking out for neighbors are how the police<br />
catch the bad guys.<br />
6. Make sure to do a vacation watch whenever you go out of town.<br />
7. If someone comes to your door, always go to the door and acknowledge<br />
that you are there and remember to never open the door for anyone that<br />
you do not know. The bad guys in almost all cases do not want you to be<br />
home. Then always call the constable’s office so that we can check them<br />
out. When they leave your house, they are going to your neighbors.<br />
8. If you have children that stay at home alone, no matter what their age,<br />
they need to go to the door and have a preplanned story for whoever is<br />
there (my dad is working on the computer, he says to come back later).<br />
Then have them call the constable’s office.<br />
9. Never do business with people you don not know and trust. Never<br />
open the door for solicitors. If no one in the neighborhood buys anything<br />
from them, the companies that they work for will quit sending them into<br />
your subdivision.<br />
10. Always lock your vehicles and never leave anything of value in plain<br />
sight (covering up an item with a jacket doesn’t count).<br />
Our dispatch number is 281-463-6666 (please put this number in your<br />
cell phone as 911 constable or A constable so that it is one of the first<br />
contacts).<br />

STOP THAT BARKING<br />
Many dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and restless. Many find relief<br />
in barking. Some respond noisily to any and all activity. But, nothing is<br />
as annoying as incessant barking - even for dog lovers. If your dog is a<br />
yapper or a yowler, please consider some of these bark-abatement ideas<br />
to keep the noise down in your area. Your neighbors will thank you!<br />
• Training. Always the first recommendation for any behavioral problem!<br />
Help is as close as the Yellow Pages. Training not only helps your dog,<br />
you’ll be surprised how much it helps you, too. You may get some insight<br />
into why your dog barks so much or what it is trying to communicate.<br />
• Citronella collars. A humane alternative to the electric-shock, antibarking<br />
collar and costs about the same. Available on the web and in pet<br />
stores.<br />
• Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing an outspoken dog indoors or<br />
confining it to a crate can cut down on the disturbance to neighbors.<br />
• For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close drapes to help muffle street<br />
noise or leave a radio on to mask it.<br />
• Companionship. Dogs are pack animals; they need companionship<br />
- a cat, bird or another dog. Consider a mid-day visit from a pet-sitting<br />
service or drop your pooch off at a friend’s place or a day-care facility<br />
once or twice a week.<br />

Please be mindful of the Harris County Leash Law and be certain that<br />
your pets are on a leash when not confined to your home or backyard.<br />

LOST & FOUND PETS IN HEARTHSTONE<br />
Folks in <strong>Hearthstone</strong> are very helpful in getting lost pets reunited with<br />
their owners, but all dog owners should ensure that there is a tag on each<br />
dog with their name, address and phone number. Local pet stores have<br />
machines that make tags like this while you wait. At least that would help<br />
found dogs get back home quicker and with less trauma.<br />

The Saved Seed – Displayed in the Owens Library<br />
James Swank and Judy Reidy<br />
Dedication Page<br />
Garden Club President Jennifer Hydes, James Swank, HGC<br />
members Sharon Hatzel, Tara Haire and Judy Reidy<br />
HEARTHSTONE GARDEN CLUB<br />
At a VIPS volunteer luncheon in May, the <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club presented two copies of The Saved Seed to the Owens Elementary School library.<br />
Garden club members have volunteered twice monthly throughout the 2018-19 school year in the Owens vegetable garden, a school project for the<br />
fifth-grade students. Garden club volunteers were recruited by James Swank, one of Owens’ top volunteers who founded and administrates the<br />
vegetable garden program and the books were dedicated to Mr. Swank.<br />
The Saved Seed is the second early-reader book of National Garden Clubs, Inc. The 2017-19 NGC President Nancy L. Hargroves encouraged garden<br />
clubs throughout our country to donate copies of the book to school and public libraries. The book was written by NGC Third Vice President Brenda<br />
Moore and was illustrated by Emily Lackey. It inspires student learning as it tells the life story of a pumpkin and guides a child through the year with<br />
all the basic steps of gardening. The two copies of The Saved Seed were presented to James Swank at the volunteer luncheon for his work with the<br />
classes of the two fifth-grade science teachers, Mrs. Amy Takacs and Mr. Darold Frederick. The presentation was made by HGC Third Vice President<br />
Judy Reidy, who was one of our most dedicated volunteers in the garden this year.<br />
<strong>Hearthstone</strong> Garden Club members have enjoyed spending the past school year helping the students at Owens prepare soil, plant both seeds and<br />
small plants, weed, water, prune and harvest in the vegetable garden. Throughout the school year, hundreds of pounds of fresh vegetables and herbs<br />
went home with the fifth graders because of this wonderful program! Members plan to continue this activity for years to come. It’s the hope of the<br />
garden club that early readers at Owens will read The Saved Seed in preparation for their own time to maintain the garden as fifth graders.<br />

Nutrition services team<br />
offers free summer meals<br />
Starting this summer, CFISD’s nutrition services department will offer children<br />
18 and younger the healthy Seamless Summer Option (SSO) breakfasts and<br />
lunches at no cost to the child. “The SSO program is a great way for us to<br />
provide access to meals for our students during the summer months,” said<br />
Darin Crawford, director of nutrition services. “Kids need good nutrition to<br />
fuel their summer activities and we are thrilled to be able to continue to offer<br />
school meals during the long summer break.” SSO is a U.S. Department of<br />
Agriculture nutrition program and is administered by the Texas Department<br />
of Agriculture. The meals offered through SSO give children who rely on<br />
school meals during the academic year a good source of nutrition during<br />

Berry Center employees donate more than 1,000 items to food pantry<br />
Thirty-one Berry Center staff members, along with the community engagement department, donated approximately 1,200 non-perishable food items<br />
to the CFISD Food Pantry on June 4 th . After hearing the pantry was opening for the summer, Beth Wade, director of the Berry Center, challenged her<br />
employees to donate $15 each to help buy food items.<br />
Wade said she was very pleased with the response but was impressed with one staff member in particular. “Terri Tyler on our building service crew<br />
told her friends and neighbors about what we were doing and was able to collect $210,” Wade said.<br />
The donations were delivered to the CFISD Food Pantry, located at Campbell Middle School and will benefit families in the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD<br />
community.<br />

ST. AIDAN’S SETS SUMMER VBS<br />

again and the folks at St. Aidan’s have another great program planned.<br />
Scheduled for the week of <strong>July</strong> 8 th -12 th , St. Aidan’s usually hosts about<br />

our students. And, last year, we hosted Wild Things Zoofari. They brought<br />
a wallaby, a toucan, a lemur and a hedgehog. Everyone really enjoyed<br />
that.”<br />
Cost of VBS is $30. Scholarships are available for families in-need. New<br />
for this year, we are adding Triumph Sports so our students will have<br />
a full-day option. From 12-4 PM, Triumph will run a Bible-based sports<br />
camp. Participants will play dodgeball, kickball, capture the flag,<br />
basketball, soccer and more. Registration for this afternoon session is<br />
$115. Registration is already open at aidanschurch.org. For additional<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.<br />
• Watermelon - Again, this fruit is mostly water and contain essential<br />
hydrating salts, calcium, magnesium and potassium.<br />
• Cabbage - Cabbage has tons of Vitamin C and is packed with fiber. This<br />
summer vegetable is rich in natural probiotics, which help to keep the<br />
digestive system working efficiently.<br />
• Lettuce - Most lettuces are about 90% water. Be sure to choose the leafy<br />
green variety.<br />
• Tomatoes - Sliced, wedges or even simply cut in half, tomatoes are<br />
refreshing and also very healthy.<br />
• Berries - Raspberries, blueberries and strawberries are at their peak<br />
during the summer. These super fruits are chock full of antioxidants and<br />
Vitamin C and are great for detoxing the entire body.<br />
• Figs - These summer beauties taste so indulgent. Make a fig chutney,<br />
with some medijool dates and enjoy it on whole grain crackers as a<br />
potassium and fiber filled treat.<br />
• Cherries - Cherries have more antioxidants and Vitamin C than almost<br />
any food on the planet.<br />
• Grapes - These hydrating balls of goodness are known for their extremely<br />
high content of Resveratrol, a substance that acts as an antioxidant and<br />
is heart-friendly.<br />
• Carrots - Carrots are almost all water. Summer offers some the tastiest<br />
carrots, surprisingly grown in more colors than just orange, such as<br />
yellow and green. Carrots are natural sources of beta-carotene.<br />

Pet safety in the summer<br />
Every summer, veterinary clinics can set calendars by the number of<br />
heat related emergencies seen. The variety of symptoms runs from<br />
dehydration, to heat exhaustion to shock to even death.<br />
In many areas of the country, temperatures reach the hundred-degree<br />
mark on a daily basis and heat stroke is a common occurrence. Regular as<br />
clockwork, dogs are brought in because the owner was going to run into<br />
the store for just a minute, got to talking to someone and thirty minutes<br />
or more pass. In just minutes, a closed car can reach temps of 120-140 F.<br />
A common misconception is that a cracked window is going to make a<br />
difference. Take the test yourself. Let the dog out of the car, roll down the<br />
window 2 inches and YOU set in there for 30 or so minutes with the engine<br />
off. Always remember, you have the option of getting out, your dog doesn’t.<br />
Another common problem seen with dogs in the summer, are the owners<br />
that like to let their dogs ride in the back of a truck. The number of instances<br />
where dogs have fallen out or been dragged behind a vehicle are staggering.<br />
If the results of falling out at 70 MPH weren’t enough, get a piece of sheet<br />
metal, set it out in the yard on a hot, sunshiny day and lay on it for several<br />
hours. Rolling every once in a while to get the full effect of course. Burns<br />
to skin and the pads of feet are very common in dogs left to ride shotgun.<br />
Animals tied up to trees, trailers and posts are also high risk. In this<br />
scenario, dogs are not the only ones at risk. Owners often tie up horses,<br />
goats, lambs, ponies and all types of livestock never making sure that<br />
there is nothing the pet can get tangled up on. Never realizing, tangled<br />
ropes or chains make it impossible to reach shade or water.<br />
The natural tendencies of cats are to be self-sufficient. As long as they<br />
have shade and a fresh water supply, they can take care of themselves.<br />
It is when owners want to take them places or try to put them in cages<br />
outside, problems occur. There are many who will scoff at the idea of<br />
having cats in cages, don’t, it happens.<br />
Make sure if your pet is outside in the summer heat that there is plenty<br />
of shade and water!<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.<br />
• Stay away from the sun in the middle of the day. Schedule outdoor<br />
activities before 10 AM and after 4 PM.<br />
• Encourage everyone to wear a wide-brim hat.<br />
• Try to wear clothes that protect your skin (ideally long-sleeve shirts and<br />
long pants) and sunglasses.<br />
• Practice the “shadow rule” - seek shade when your shadow is shorter<br />
than you are tall.<br />
• 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 />

<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 90<br />
percent of the nation’s population. I<br />
Ice Cream in a Bag<br />
What You Need<br />
• 1 tablespoon Sugar<br />
• 1/2 cup Milk or half & half<br />
• 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla<br />
• 6 tablespoons Rock salt<br />
• 1 pint-size Ziploc plastic bag<br />
• 1 gallon-size Ziploc plastic bag<br />
• Ice cubes<br />
n the proclamation, President Reagan called for all people of the United<br />
States to observe these events with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.”<br />
The International Ice Cream Association (IICA) encourages retailers and<br />
consumers to celebrate <strong>July</strong> as National Ice Cream Month.<br />
1. Fill the large bag half full of ice and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.<br />
2. Put milk, vanilla and sugar into the small bag and seal it.<br />
About 10.3 percent of all the milk produced by U.S. dairy farmers is used to 3. Place the small bag inside the large one and seal again carefully.<br />
produce ice cream, contributing significantly to the economic well-being of 4. Shake until mixture is ice cream, about 5 minutes.<br />
the nation’s dairy industry.<br />
5. Wipe off top of small bag, then open carefully and enjoy!<br />

BASIC GRILL TIPS<br />
1. Always grill in a well-ventilated area away from shrubs, buildings and<br />
overhangs such as awnings or patio umbrellas.<br />
2. Never leave a lighted grill unattended.<br />
3. Keep young children and animals away from the grill.<br />
4. Wait until the charcoals begin to turn white before you start to grill<br />
(approximately 40 minutes).<br />
5. Never use kerosene or gasoline to start a charcoal fire in the grill. Avoid<br />
using chemical starters or chemically treated briquettes as well, as they<br />
will affect the taste of your food.<br />
6. To start a fire, pile the briquettes in a pyramid shape. Once hot,<br />
however, they may be distributed in a single layer across the grill.<br />
7. Place the rack of the grill at least five inches above the coals.<br />
8. Always have a pair of fire-resistant cooking mitts handy and use longhandled<br />
tongs while cooking.<br />
9. Fire flare-ups can be avoided by raising the height of the grill rack or<br />
closing the vents of a covered grill. A spray bottle filled with water is also<br />
helpful to have around. Gas- or electric-grill flare-ups can be controlled<br />
by lowering the heat thermostat.<br />
10. To make a charcoal grill hotter, either move the coals together,<br />
open the grill vents partially if closed, lower the height of the grill rack<br />
or add more dry briquettes to the fire. Never add briquettes that are<br />
precoated with a fire-starter fluid to the existing hot coals.<br />
11. Try not to turn fish fillets on the grill more than once, as they are<br />
delicate and may fall apart.<br />
12. Most important, don’t be afraid and have fun while you’re grilling. You<br />
will be a pro by summer’s end.<br />

Simple Creme Brulee<br />
You could make this on<br />
National Crème Brulee Day <strong>July</strong> 27th!<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 />

Garden Tips<br />
For <strong>July</strong><br />
22<br />
• Plant fall flowering annuals where your<br />
spring annuals have bloomed out. Set<br />
our seeds like zinnia, marigold, cosmos,<br />
petunia and portulaca so you’ll have color<br />
until frost. Don’t let seedlings dry out.<br />
• In summer, prune roses to keep them<br />
in shape. Continue black spot and insect<br />
treatments. Water 2” once per week.<br />
• Remove spent crepe myrtle flowers to<br />
prolong bloom production.<br />
• Weeds rob plants of valuable water,<br />
nutrients--remove them.<br />
• Great sun/heat-lovers include coral<br />
honeysuckle, coreopsis, lantana,<br />
oleanders and hamelia.<br />
• Fertilize flowers lightly, if at all; too hot<br />
for heavy feedings.<br />
• Water your lawn longer but less frequent.<br />
Deep water of about 2 - 3” per week forces<br />
plant roots to grow down, instead of<br />
sideways into sunbaked upper soil levels.<br />
Use a bowl in your yard to measure during<br />
waterings.<br />

Houston Places First in the US and<br />
Third Globally for Species Diversity<br />
Citizen Scientists in The Greater Houston and Galveston area competed<br />
in the Third Annual City Nature Challenge and won first place in the<br />
United States for most species identified during April 26-29, <strong>2019</strong>. The<br />
Houston participants identified 3,367 species of flora and fauna from<br />
backyards to city parks to wildlife refuges and sanctuaries. The city took<br />
third place globally with Cape Town and Hong Kong coming in first and<br />
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<br />
to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided by<br />
science, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s<br />
toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. We<br />
are tackling climate change, conserving lands, waters and oceans at<br />
an unprecedented scale, providing food and water sustainably and<br />
helping make cities more sustainable. Working in 72 countries, we use a<br />

Golf Tournament raised $102,000 for<br />
Katy Christian Ministries<br />
Katy Christian Ministries (KCM) hosted their 20 th Annual Golf Tournament<br />
May 6, <strong>2019</strong> at Weston Lakes Country Club in Fulshear, TX. Proceeds from<br />
the event benefit the programs and services that KCM provides free of<br />
charge to families in crisis within a 12 zip code area in the Katy/West<br />
Houston area.<br />
The event’s original budgeted goal was $80,000, but members of the KCM<br />
Development Committee set out in faith to reach a Big Holy Audacious<br />
Goal of raising $100,000 to celebrate the agency’s 35 year anniversary<br />
and 20 years of golf tournaments. The event raised over $102,000,<br />
blowing the original $80,000 goal out of the water. The Title sponsor and<br />
“Anniversary Angel” was Fort Bend County Commissioner Andy Meyers<br />
and Fort Bend Charities. Parkway Fellowship was the Platinum Sponsor.<br />
Other sponsors include BGE - Double Eagle and Grace Fellowship UMC -<br />
Birdie & Eagle. These sponsors are all long-time supporters of KCM and<br />
believe in the mission of transforming lives together.<br />
The tournament featured a scramble format on an 18-hole course, hole<br />
in one, raffle prizes, silent auction, a putting contest, Bubba Drive, inside<br />
the circle and closest to the pin games. Participants were treated to a<br />
steak dinner following the tournament and a special, anniversary edition<br />
golf polo. Special thanks to the Bagel Cafe Bible Study Group from Grace<br />
Fellowship UMC that prepared an incredibly tasty lunch and dinner<br />
straight from the grill.<br />
