STILL ON THE FENCE ABOUT HOSTING AN
EXCHANGE STUDENT?
You don’t have any kids? Are you a single parent? Same sex couple? An
empty nester? This is not a problem, we place our students in all kinds of
families!
You’re not rich? Neither am I! Your exchange student comes with their
own spending money and health insurance. All you provide is room/
board and three meals a day. Oh and TLC…but that’s free. Live in the
middle of nowhere? Small town? Not a big deal. Some kids prefer to get
away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The exchange students also
do pretty well in small schools, as they usually get to be the center of
attention and make friends rather quickly. Our students also get chances
to travel to New York, Washington DC, Hawaii and California…so they
can get their fill of the city life and return back to the peaceful sounds of
nature. Do you consider yourself a boring person? More than likely this
is not true and you should quit being so hard on yourself. Your student
will make friends. Your student will meet other exchange students. Your
student will attend activities offered by our program. Your student will
get involved in sports and school clubs. Your purpose is not to entertain
them. But you might find that you bring a little adventure to each others
lives. Kids are too young? Great! Lots of students love young kids and
your kids will love them. It’s beneficial to introduce your kids to new
cultures at a very young age. You’re preparing them to accept people no
matter what the religion, color of their skin or language they speak. That
my friend, is good parenting. Don’t hold back! This is a gret experience for
both parties. You get the opportunity to change a child’s life. You get the
satisfaction of seeing them grow, even after they leave your home into
becoming a doctor, a lawyer, a diplomat, artist, teacher…the list goes on.
And you contributed to that success! And the best part of it all, is you gain
another family member for life. We need people like you to give these
kids a chance.
STS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to place
exchange students in our area. If you are interest in hosting, please
contact me at 832-455-7881 or at vicki.stsfoundation@yahoo.com. I’ll be
happy to answer any question you might have and get you started on
hosting your very own student!

Recipes
Spaghetti Squash
You could make this on National Spaghetti Day January
4th! Everyone is trying to be a little healthier these days,
so instead of a pasta spaghetti, try using spaghetti
squash:
DIRECTIONS:
1. To start, cut your squash in half lengthwise. This is
definitely the hardest part of making spaghetti squash,
but with a sharp chef’s knife and some determination
you’ll do just fine.
2. Remove the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil
and season with salt and pepper. Flip the squash cut-side
down on a baking sheet.
3. Pop it in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes. Depending on
the size of your squash, this could take more like an
hour. If 40 minutes have passed and you’re not sure if the
squash is ready, pull it out of the oven and drag the tines
of a fork on the cut side. If spaghetti-like strands easily
release from the skin, it’s ready. If not, continue baking
and check on it every 5 to 10 minutes. Over-roasting can
lead to soggier “spaghetti,” so it’s best to keep a close eye
on the squash.
4. Shred it! When it’s ready, let cool slightly before creating
“spaghetti” with your fork.
Top with spaghetti sauce or for an even healthier and
lower calorie option, go with a marinara sauce.

Gardening
Tips
• Birds: Provide food and fresh water. More birds die from lack of
water than from lack of food.
• Cacti: Semi-dormant now. Reduce watering.
• Camellias: Plants may be moved. Pick up and discard fallen blooms.
• Cultivation: Changes in design may now be made, new beds dug and
old ones rebuilt. Correct defects in drainage. Incorporate gypsum into
heavy soils: repeat in three weeks. Dig granite dust, rock phosphate
and quantities of organic matter into soil. Allow time for settling before
planting.
• Fertilize: Daylilies, spuria, Louisiana and bearded irises with complete
fertilizer. Give strawberries 1 teaspoon ammonium sulfate, keeping six
inches away from plant. Fertilize pansies with manure tea or blood meal.
Water in.
• Fruits: Plant fruit trees. Mulch figs with grass or straw to prevent freeze
damage to crown.
• House Plants: Water, when surface soil is crumbly dry. Wash dust off
leaves to open pores. Mist often. Inspect for diseases and insects. Reduce
water for poinsettias.
• Lawns: Remove thatch aerate, and feed with low nitrogen mixture.
• Pests: For petal blight prevention, spray azaleas and camellias as flowers
open. Spray for scale with dormant oil solution if temperature will
be above 35˚ and below 85˚ for next 48 hours. Always read and heed
manufacturer’s directions before spraying.
• Propagation: Ivy cuttings root easily this month and next. Root cuttings
of shrubs in mixture of loam and coarse sand; keep damp and semishaded
until rooted.
• Prune: Fruit trees in advance of new growth. Prune to groom and shape.
Do not remove too much. Remove dead wood from trees and shrubs
before spring buds swell, but do not prune spring bloomers. Prune crape
myrtles. Prune nandina and others of similar growth habit by cutting
unwanted canes out at base of plant.
• Roses: Annual pruning about the middle of February, just before the
spring buds break. To prevent later appearance of disease in the old
beds, keep garden clean of debris and weeds. Complete preparation of
new beds for roses.
• Transplanting: January is one of the best months to transplant woody
plants, both evergreen and deciduous, especially trees. Energy will be
expended on roots instead of foliage. Learn ultimate size and cultural
needs of tree or plant before buying. Consider dwarf varieties to avoid
crowding later. Group plants of similar cultural needs. Do not work wet
soil. Assure good drainage. Keep plants moist.
• Vegetables: Prepare beds, preferably raised for drainage, with about
50% humus, including rotted manure.
• Winter Protection: Expect freeze any time; plan for protection of tender
plants. Water. Remove coverings, particularly plastic, when temperature
rises. Protect low plants with dry leaves, pine needles or soil mulch, but
remove when weather warms.
