10 TIPS FOR A CLEANER REFRIGERATOR<br />
1. Create a homemade all-purpose cleaner by combining the following in a<br />
gallon of hot water: 1 cup clear ammonia, ½-cup vinegar and ¼-cup baking<br />
soda. Pour into a spray bottle or use from a bowl with a sponge. This norinse<br />
formula is a degreaser that prevents mold and mildew. Wipe down the<br />
entire refrigerator with this solution, including the drawers and shelves.<br />
2. To prevent grease and odor buildup on top of the refrigerator after<br />
you’ve cleaned it, just buff some paste wax into the surface.<br />
3. Use toothpaste to remove tough stains. It contains a gentle abrasive<br />
and has a pleasant odor.<br />
4. To get those dust bunnies out from under the refrigerator, remove the<br />
grill and run a yardstick covered with a pair of pantyhose underneath.<br />
Also check the pan of water under the unit, since it can hold unpleasantsmelling<br />
water.<br />
5. To combat household odors, fill a clean old sock with activated charcoal<br />
from an aquarium store, tie a knot in the top and place it in the back of<br />
the refrigerator. This will last a month or two, depending on the size of<br />
your refrigerator and how heavily you use it.<br />
6. For a faster fix for odors, sprinkle vanilla extract on some cotton balls,<br />
place in a shallow dish and put in the refrigerator. Orange extract also<br />
works.<br />
7. Eliminate lingering odors in your vegetable bins by putting a crumpled<br />
piece of a brown paper grocery bag inside and leaving it for 48 hours. The<br />
paper will absorb the odor.<br />
8. Check for adequate tightness of the insulating seam around the door<br />
by placing a lighted flashlight inside the refrigerator and closing the door.<br />
Turn off the lights in the room (this should be done at night) and see if<br />
any light escapes from the seams. This will help you pinpoint any leaks.<br />
9. If you don’t keep your refrigerator full, fill a large bottle (at least a gallon)<br />
with water and leave it in the refrigerator. It helps keep the refrigerator<br />
cool and running efficiently.<br />
10. Keep your refrigerator at 37 degrees. Source: www.hgtv.com<br />

Sudden Changes To Their Environment. A sudden change in the<br />
surrounding environment may affect a person with autism. The could be<br />
a loud noise, a change in intensity of lighting or even a change in smell.<br />
Speech. Speech can be affected in people with autism. ‘Echolalia’ is a<br />
typical speech symptom in which the person repeats words and phrases<br />
that they hear. The speech tone of an autistic person may be monotonous.<br />
Where symptoms are more extreme, the person may not speak.<br />
The first National Autism Awareness Month was declared by the Autism<br />
Society in <strong>April</strong> 1970. The aim of this month is educate the public about<br />
autism. Autism is a complex mental condition and developmental<br />
disability, characterized by difficulties in the way a person communicates<br />
and interacts with other people. Autism can be be present from birth or<br />
form during early childhood (typically within the first three years). Autism<br />
is a lifelong developmental disability with no single known cause. People<br />
with autism are classed as having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)<br />
and the terms autism and ASD are often used interchangeably. A wide<br />
spectrum disorder, people will autism have set of symptoms unique to<br />
themselves, no two people are the same.<br />
Increasing Awareness About The Common Characteristics Of Autism<br />
Whilst no two people with autism will have the same set of symptoms,<br />
there are common characteristics found in those with this complex<br />
disability. Briefly, these characteristics include: Social Skills. People with<br />
autism have problems interacting with others; autistic children do not<br />
have adequate playing and talking skills. Mild symptoms on one end of<br />
the spectrum may be displayed through clumsy behavior, being out of<br />
sync with those around them and inappropriate or offensive comments<br />
being made. At the other end of the spectrum an autistic person may not<br />
be interested in others.<br />
Empathy. Empathy is the ability to recognize and understand the feelings<br />
of another person. People with autism find it harder to show empathy to<br />
others although they can be taught to acknowledge the others feelings.<br />
Physical Contact. In some cases, autistic people do not like physical<br />
contact such as hugs, tickling or physical play with others.<br />
Changes To Behavior and Routine. People with autism often display<br />
repetitive behavior in which they repeat the same action many times<br />
over. For example, a person with autism may repeatedly pace around a<br />
room in a certain direction. Any change to their behavior or routine can<br />
be unsettling for them. This could be a reordering of daily activities such<br />
as when a person brushes their teeth, takes a shower and has breakfast<br />
when they get up in the morning. Other characteristics of autism include<br />
an unpredictable learning rate, obsessions and physical tics.<br />
Autism Is Widespread, Awareness About This Condition Is Not<br />
In the United States, autism affects 1 in every 110 children. National<br />
Autism Awareness Month aims to make the public more aware about this<br />
widespread disability and the issues which arise in the autism community.<br />
As about 1 in 150 people in America have autism, the chances are that<br />
you know someone with this disability. A better informed public will be<br />
more empathetic and supportive towards people with autism.<br />
This month is backed by the Autism Society of America ,which undertake<br />
a number of activities to raise awareness about autism. The Autism<br />
Society has local chapters throughout the United States, which hold<br />
special events throughout <strong>April</strong>. The ‘Puzzle Ribbon’ is the symbol for<br />
Autism Awareness and is promoted by the Autism Society as means of<br />
supporting awareness for autism. The Puzzle Ribbon may take the form of<br />
a pin attached to clothing, a fridge magnet or a sticker and are available<br />
to purchase from the Autism Society website.<br />
The Autism Society of America also run a year long campaign through<br />
their 1 Power 4 Autism initiative, in which people are encouraged to hold<br />
events to raise awareness and support for those affected by autism. For<br />

<strong>April</strong> Gardening Tips<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 buy<br />
‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also buying ants,<br />
roaches, termites, etc…” Spend a little more on bagged material and save<br />
lots of future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top<br />
of your homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing<br />
pests in your home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections.<br />
Shrubs, Flowers and ground covers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12” -<br />
18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is<br />
18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow<br />
up next to the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab.<br />
The most conducive to termite infestation are groundcover plantings,<br />
growing high against your homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows<br />
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 resist<br />
the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The fall spray also<br />
kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi from occurring over the<br />
winter and puts your valuable asset off to a healthy 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 and<br />
weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a) lawn<br />
aeration” b) fertilization” c) weed control.<br />
Most important is proper watering:<br />
• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do not<br />
water.)<br />
• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage.<br />
• In severe drought, water every 5th day.<br />
• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT.<br />
• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger<br />
and more drought resistant roots.<br />
• Less watering also saves you money!!<br />
WHEN IS EARTH DAY?<br />
This observance always falls on <strong>April</strong> 22 nd . On Earth Day, enjoy the tonic<br />
of fresh air, contact with the soil and companionship with nature! Walk<br />
through the woods in search of emerging wildflowers and green moss.<br />
Go outside, no matter what the weather!<br />
Ever wondered how Earth Day started? This observance arose from an<br />
interest in gathering national support for environmental issues. In 1970,<br />
San Francisco activist John McConnell and Wisconsin Senator Gaylord<br />
Nelson separately asked Americans to join in a grassroots demonstration.<br />
McConnell chose the spring equinox (March 21, 1970) and Nelson chose<br />
<strong>April</strong> 22 nd . Millions of people participated and today Earth Day continues<br />
to be widely celebrated with events on both dates.<br />
The most common practice of celebration is to plant new trees for Earth<br />
Day. Other Earth Day activities and ideas are: Plant wildflowers, Go<br />
native! Plants thrive when they’re natural to your area, bring nature into<br />
the garden with plants that attract butterflies, try an organic vegetable<br />
garden and conserve water.<br />

6 th grade. It is an adult-mentored, student-led ministry. Each day children will<br />
hear a new bible story, learn what it means to their life by eating a snack, playing<br />
a game and experiencing the story through the arts, STEM and worship.<br />
Camp Hope is a day camp that is passionate about growing leaders. This is one<br />
of the reasons that Camp Hope is one of the BEST ways to develop youth leaders.<br />
It’s a vital part of what Camp Hope is all about!<br />
Parents are invited to register their children online at www.messiahlc.org/camphope.<br />

CFISD STUDENTS’ WORK SELECTED TO HOUSTON<br />
RODEO SCHOOL ART AUCTION<br />
Three student artists had their artwork selected to advance to the<br />
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) School Art auction.<br />
Cypress Woods High School freshman Magdalena Baughman (Bridger<br />
& Poco), Jersey Village High School junior Amy Muery (Laying Hen) and<br />
Hamilton Middle School eighth grade student Ravine Cohen (Sunkissed<br />
Stallions) each had their work chosen to advance.<br />
“Having student artwork chosen as the top entry for the Houston<br />
Livestock Show and Rodeo is already a huge achievement, but to have<br />
it selected for auction is an added bonus and rare opportunity,” said<br />
Lee Carrier, CFISD coordinator of visual arts. “I am proud of our CFISD<br />
art students for receiving this honor. I would like to thank the HLSR<br />
School Art Committee for continuing to support CFISD’s K-12 th grade art<br />
students. I would also like to thank art teachers of the auction students<br />
for providing this contest opportunity at their campuses.”<br />
Since 1965, the HLSR has recorded more than 9.4 million entries to<br />
its School Art Program. HLSR provides students the opportunity to<br />
earn scholarships, visit workshops and a chance to have their artwork<br />
displayed at the Hayloft Gallery during the Rodeo itself.<br />
