HEARD AND OVERHEARDCRIME ACTIVITY
Complainant reported their son’s bike stolen, unsecured from the front yard of the home.
Complainants reported their unlocked vehicles broken into. The car burglaries seem to be a regional problem, with Coles Crossing, Ravensway, and Cypress Point getting hit on the same nights. Also the stables were broken into in Ravensay Subdivision. Surveillance cameras recorded the activity and the persons were caught.

The Cy-Fair High School Orchestra will host a Children’s Concert at the school auditorium (22602 Hwy 290 at Telge Rd) on Thursday, October 27. Disney characters and Disney music by Orchestras from Cy-Fair High School, Arnold Middle School, and Hamilton Middle School will be featured. Children from the entire community are invited to this free event and are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite Disney character. Children’s events (face painting, clowns, and balloons) and a silent auction will begin at 6pm. The concert will be at 7pm.
SALESPERSON WARNING
I received a letter from a resident of another subdivision. It went out to all newsletters in the area. I opted to not publish the letter but just to warn all residents. This person relunctly let one of these young salespersons into their home for a carpet demonstration. He insisted that he show her how it cleaned the mattress as well. Long story short the mattress was serverely damaged. Kirby will not repair nor pay for the mattress. Resident is very frustrated. Take heed when allowing these people into your home!!

THE HUNGER GAMESby Suzanne Collins
Remember the compelling and cult-following TV show, Lost? To me, The Hunger Games is the literary equivalent in that the writers creatively demonstrated survival and unity when faced with extremely harsh circumstances. The difference is that while Lost was the result of a plane crash on a strange island where anything could happen, The Hunger Games is ruled by the Capitol where young adults fight to the death as a form of entertainment for the government.
Set in the not so distant future, North America as we know it has been completely reorganized into separate districts (12 of them) all closely controlled by the militant, big brother, harsh “Capitol.” These districts were formed when the Earth had become so violated environmentally and morally that war broke out. As a reminder to all of the segregated districts that rebellion is not tolerated, there is a yearly “Hunger Game” where a male and female from each district aged 12-18 is chosen at random to fight each other to the death. There can only be one victor and everythingis televised, complete with sponsors.
It is in district 12 that the heroine, Katniss Everdeen lives with her mother (a healer) and her younger sister. Her father was killed in a mining accident but left his oldest daughter with the gifts and talents of hunting, which is her family’s key to survival.
When Katniss’ sister is chosen as one of the “tributes” to fight in the hunger games, Katniss volunteers in her place. Her male counterpart, Peeta, is also chosen.
Their experience at the Capitol and the whole tradition around the hunger games is so intriguing and fascinating as are the people they encounter. However, it is the way the hunger games are so carefully and technologically orchestrated and Katniss’ amazing ingenuity and will to live and survive that kept me reading and enjoying the brutal, yet thoroughly entertaining book. At the time I am writing this review, I am already on the final book of the trilogy!
This book has it all -- a love triangle, a heroine, an underdog, fighting, mystery, science fiction--it is a reader’s big Kit Kat bar!
