Grandparent’s dayThis day has a threefold purpose: • To honor grandparents• To give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children.• To help children become aware of the strength, information and guidance older people can offer.

The impetus for a National Grandparents Day originated with Marian McQuade, a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her primary motivation was to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes. She also hoped to persuade grandchildren to tap the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide. President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.

As Grandparents Day approaches, help children and/or grandchildren to identify and date all photos in old family albums. Many happy memories can be derived from this. Everyone is a grandchild and can be involved in the observance of this day - a time to discover one’s roots and learn patience, understanding and appreciation for the elderly. Many times, only grandparents have answers to questions about family histories. When this information is passed down to the grandchildren, everyone can be assured of his heritage being preserved.

Most important, Grandparents Day can signify a loving spirit that lives within us throughout the year, a spirit of love and respect for our elders. Grandparents Day is the perfect time to enhance communication between the generations. There are many, many elderly who are not fortunate enough to have family nearby. The need is increasing every day to fill the void of their loneliness. In every neighborhood, there are elderly who would love an opportunity to be a Foster Grandparent. Parents, churches, schools and senior organizations, help children to adopt a grandparent!

septeMBer Is natIOnaL LIteraCy MOntHMillions of people have difficulty reading. That’s because, despite what many people think, literacy issues are not just relegated to children and young adults. To improve literacy in America, we must consider readers of all ages and backgrounds. Here are some tips to help you improve and encourage reading and literacy.

Here’s How:1. Read books every day and let people see you do it. You may be a role model (to your child, your niece or nephew or some other individual in your family or circle of acquaintances).

2. Get involved with your local library. Many libraries offer literacy programs, which encourage reading in your community. See what you can do to help.

3. Talk about reading. Ask questions about what the individuals in your life are reading.

STREET LIGHT OUTAGEPlease report any street light outage to Centerpoint. Repairs can take up to 3 weeks to be repaired, but the most recent request we made took only 2 days! It is imperative that residents participate in reporting outages, as there is no formal nighttime inspection done by management or Centerpoint.It’s simple, just go to www.centerpointenergy.com/outage and fill in the required information. You’ll need the 6 digit number located at the base of the light pole and an approximate address/location of the outage. You may also report it by dialing 713-207-2222.

GARDEN TIPS FOR SEPTEMBERTime now to make plans for fall landscaping projects. • Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood. Light green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates. • Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around the roots. • Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. Follow up with a dose of fertilizer the first week of September. • Plants come out of summer rest and go crazy. Insect populations explode as we get into cooler temperatures. Diseases that have been dormant wake up. - Citrus, croton, avocado and mango are susceptible to spider mites and thrips. Discourage them with a strong jet of water from a hose directed to the undersides of the leaves. - Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and ixora are susceptible to scale and mealybug. • Winter vegetable gardens and perennials get planted.• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.• Fire ants baits should be put out in September-October to lessen the number of eggs that make it to Spring. • St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer during September. Continue to mow at maximum height. You want to leave a lot of leaf surface to produce carbohydrate reserves for the winter.• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign of them is grass that appears to stop growing. You need to get them early for biological controls to work. When the caterpillars are only 1/4 inch, Bacillus thuringiensis applications can slow them. Bt is a bacteria that works on the caterpillars’ digestive systems and makes them stop feeding. Do the application late in the day. The larvae feed at night and you want them to get nice fresh Bt.• When the heat and drought end, the weather could bring brown patch disease in the St. Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish spots if the nights drop into the 60’s and days stay in the 80’s.

• Get any pruning of hedges and such done now. You want the flush of new growth to be hardened-off before the end of October. Tree pruning should be put off until winter, when the trees are dormant.• Pre-emerge herbicide applications targeting annual bluegrass and the earlier-germinating winter broadleaf weeds needed to be put out starting in mid-August.

CY-FAIR ISD & VOLUnTEERS In PUbLIC SCHOOLS (VIPS): WHERE

“VOLUnTEERS ARE TREASURES!”VIPS is an acronym for Volunteers in Public Schools. VIPS in Cy-Fair ISD center the attention of their service on supporting students and staff and making a significant contribution to the education of children. These jewels in our district give freely of their time and resources and impact the academic and personal development of Cy-Fair ISD students. As an old Chinese Proverb says, “Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere” and you, as a volunteer have an opportunity to be a part of the process.

If you are interested in being involved at Cy-Fair schools as a volunteer, please contact Pam Scott, Partners in Education Director at 281-894-3950. In Cy-Fair ISD, we believe that Volunteers are Treasures!

CY-WOODS KEY CLUBAs the threshold of the next school year approaches, it is easy to become dismayed with the depletion of summer break. But despite this tendency, we at Cypress Woods Key Club utilize this time to build anticipation for the upcoming year. Though we have remained active throughout the summer - through volunteering at various food banks, triathlons and academies - we have to acknowledge the heightened club vigor that comes with the school year. We anticipate the certain aspects that come with a highly active club such as more members, more socials and more service opportunities. Such factors facilitate the success of the club and our strides towards the betterment of our community.

Events like those at Cypress Assistance Ministries (CAM), the Houston Food Bank and many other organizations allow members to effectively contribute their time and service. Then social events like the lock-in allow said members to socialize and celebrate the hard work they have contributed to their community and the world as a whole through service and donation. With such features ahead of us it is easy to see why, as key clubbers, we are anticipating them whole-heartedly.

We would love to assist at your event as well! From garage sales to neighborhood cleanups, we will be there to help. If you require any help within your community, feel free to contact us at [email protected] (email).

KIMBeRLY AKIMBO, By David Lindsay-Abaire, Directed by Ron Jones, November 29-December 15, 2012, STUDIO 101 (1824 Spring Street, Houston 77007).

Kimberly Akimbo is a play written in 2000 by Pulitzer prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire. Its title character is a lonely teenage girl suffering from a disease a lot like progeria, that causes her to age 4 and a half times as fast as normal. Thus, Kimberly is trapped inside the frail physical body of an elderly woman. She meets another misfit (a teenage boy) and the two form an attachment to one another that borders on attraction. The situation is not helped by Kimberly’s rapidly deteriorating health. Soon Kimberly’s family gets mixed up in some crazy money schemes and the family gets emotionally destroyed. deCibelles (a barbersHop CHorus)We are a ladies daytime chorus with approximately 30 members. We have been performing in the Houston area for over 30 years. We sing old favorites and contemporary tunes arranged in the barbershop style.
