March 2013 Message from your HOA President
During the open meeting on April 24th, there will be an election for two board positions. Vice President Larry Ramirez and I have both reached the end of our two-year terms. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the process, we hold elections every year to elect board members for a two-year term. To keep some continuity between the boards, we alternate between two or three positions each year. After each election, the new board decides on who will fill each office. The offices are: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Member-at-Large. If you are interested in running for the HOA board, please contact Mike Crahan to get your name on the ballot as soon as possible. It is March and spring begins this month. While many think of new beginnings, I think of allergies. Oh well, such is life. As the temperatures warm, it is a good time to use a good “weed and feed” type of fertilizer on your lawns to help prevent having more weeds than grass in the early spring. Just make sure your chosen fertilizer covers pre-emergent weeds and follow the directions on the bag. While I was a little hesitant to run for the board, I must admit that I have enjoyed the time that I have served on the board. I feel that we were able to accomplish many good things for our neighborhood during the past two years. I have been able to meet and work with a lot of really good people. I would like to thank you for your support during this past year as I served as your President. I hope that I have served you and the community well. As at the time of this writing, I do not know if I will be able to run for reelection due to possible work commitments. Regardless, I hope that each of you return your ballot forms, sign a proxy or just attend the meeting to vote in person.
Finally, I would like to make another plea to those of you who have not paid your assessment dues yet. Please contact Mike Crahan before your account is turned over to the attorney and even more fees are accumulated. The money from your assessment fees is used to help fund all of the projects we have accomplished. But more importantly, they pay for the day-to-day operations of the neighborhood such as street lights, landscaping and lawn maintenance of our common areas and the swimming pools. Take care and God Bless, Dennis R. Brewer President, Cypress Mill HOA

Each set cost $800 so stop by and take a look. • Remodeling of ladies and men’s bathrooms at the recreation center at a cost of $20,000 for both.

Security report highlights
During the security report, it was noted that there have been a number of attempted car burglaries in Cypress Mill and in each case the cars had been left unlocked in the driveway. Do not invite trouble; be sure to lock your car. Also, the constables have seen several garage doors left open all night. When this happens, the constable will knock on your door, so if you don’t want to be disturbed, remember to check that your garage door is closed before you retire for the evening. Another useful tip referred to new appliance packaging that is left out for trash pickup. Don’t advertise the fact that you have a new stereo system/flat screen TV/microwave oven, etc. Break up the boxes and bundle them so that the contents are not showing. And lastly, please be aware that after 3 false calls from your burglar alarm, there will be a charge. Before knocking on your door, the constable answering the alarm call will check the side and back of your home to make sure that the intruder is not still on your property.

Attention Pet Owners
As much as we love our pets and consider them part of the family, please be respectful of your neighbors and remember the following: • If your yard backs onto a retention pond, please do not throw feces (or other trash) over the fence. Often this lands on the walking path which is both an eyesore for walkers and hazardous, especially for small children. • Do not leave your dog(s) outside for extended periods if consistent barking is likely to annoy your neighbors. If this is not corrected, you may get a visit from your local deputy. • Please restrain your dog from pounding against your neighbor’s fence. There have been several instances where dogs have broken through the fence into a neighbor’s yard. If your dog does break a picket, then replace it as soon as possible. • Limit the number of pets to the number as directed in your section bylaws. • Always carry a poop bag when walking your dog.
Shamrock Cookies
Bake regular sugar cookies according to recipe instructions and decorate with a green shamrock. Make a simple stencil and use green sprinkles to form the shamrock. Enjoy!

These included formation of a book club to meet once a month in the recreation center meeting room during the day, possibility of a water aerobics class in one of the swimming pools and how to deal with the problem of extended periods of dogs barking. If you would like to know more or make a suggestion for other neighborhood activities, please contact Mike Crahan at m.crahan@pmghouston.com The winner of the door prize at the February HOA meeting was Melanie Hamilton. Melanie won a $30 gift certificate for Alicia’s Mexican Grill.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY
Everyone knows the name - but what about the man? Brush up on St. Patrick’s story and the myths surrounding him, in honor of this year’s festivities. 1. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, although he was born in Britain, around 385 AD. His parents, Calpurnius and Conchessa, were Roman citizens living in either Scotland or Wales, according to different versions of his story. 2. As a boy of 14, he was captured and taken to Ireland where he spent six years in slavery herding sheep. He returned to Ireland in his 30’s as a missionary among the Celtic pagans. 3. Legend has it that he used the native shamrock as a symbol of the holy trinity when preaching and brought the Latin alphabet to Ireland.

4. Miracles attributed to him include the driving of serpents out of Ireland. However, evidence suggests post-glacial Ireland never had any snakes in the first place. 5. Wearing green, eating green food and even drinking green beer, is said to commemorate St. Patrick’s use of the shamrock - although blue was the original color of his vestments. 6. St. Patrick was said to have proclaimed that everyone should have a drop of the “hard stuff” on his feast day after chastising an innkeeper who served a short measure of whiskey. In the custom known as “drowning the shamrock,” the shamrock that has been worn on a lapel or hat is put in the last drink of the evening. 7. Popular Irish toasts on St Patrick’s Day include: may the roof above us never fall in and may we friends beneath it never fall out. 8. St. Patrick’s Day was first celebrated in America in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1737. Around 34 million modern Americans claim Irish ancestry. 9. It is believed that St. Patrick died on March 17th in 461AD. It is a national holiday in Ireland and on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean, which was founded by Irish refugees. It is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a provincial holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland. 10. Dublin has a parade that attracts hundreds of thousands of people, while in Chicago the river is dyed green for a few hours. The biggest parade is normally held in New York, while the largest celebration in the southern hemisphere is in Sydney, Australia.

LAWN • Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this part of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun). • When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY the variety Floratam for best pest resistance. See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm. TREES AND SHRUBS • Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible. In shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of the prostrate junipers. • Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early March. However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have bloomed. • Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet of garden planting area. Early March is the ideal time to fertilize landscape plants because you give them food just before the spring growing season starts.

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDANT
Dear Parents and Community Members: The journey toward an equitable state funding system took a positive turn on February 4th when a Texas judge ruled the current system unconstitutional. District Judge John Dietz ruled in favor of the more than 600 Texas school districts - including Cypress-Fairbanks ISD - that filed a lawsuit against the state last year. In a statement regarding the ruling, Judge Dietz echoed many of the same comments he made while ruling the state funding system unconstitutional in 2005. He also voiced the same confusion for school finance that I and countless other educators, have felt for many years: “I have to say, there are 26 million Texans and I doubt there are 26 people in this state who understand this system,” he said. Judge Dietz also declared that “there has never been a more expeditious trial of a school finance case anywhere in the United States,” cementing my belief that this was the only logical decision to be made during this 44-day trial.
14
March 2013
I applaud Judge Dietz, the four plaintiff teams that defended the school districts’ case and the dozens of superintendents and school funding authorities who provided critical testimony in reaching this key decision. The final, written order in the case is expected to be delivered in early March, at which point the state has pledged to appeal the ruling to the Texas Supreme Court. Although there will be more obstacles before an agreeable solution is reached, we look forward to working with legislators and other state leaders as we plot the path toward equitable school finance. Sincerely, Mark Henry Ed.D.
CY-HOPE GRANTS BENEFIT CFISD MUSIC PROGRAMS
A pair of grants from district supporter Cy-Hope, totaling $11,000, will benefit music programs at CFISD schools. One of the donations, in the amount of $10,000, will impact music programs at 18 elementary and six secondary campuses with 60 percent or more of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals. The other $1,000 grant will fund the CFISD Choral Festival in the spring. For the organization’s support of CFISD music programs, the Board of Trustees recognized Cy-Hope representatives Lynda Zelenka, executive director and Dr. Betty Devine, during the Feb. 11th regular Board meeting at the Instructional Support Center (10300 Jones Road) at 6 PM. According to Zelenka, the donation came about when Dr. Devine - the founder and artistic director for the Houston Choral Society - expressed a desire to give back to Cy-Hope through her passion for music.
Cypress Mill
“Music crosses all generations and all demographics. It can bring joy to so many people, no matter their economic status,” Zelenka said. “I think that’s critical in the lives of our students. It’s a blessing for us to be able to fill a gap and make the community aware of some of these needs in Title I schools.” Cy-Hope provided an additional $1,000 grant to fund reinstatement of the district wide Choral Festival for fifth-grade students, last held in 2006. The upcoming event will be held April 11th at the Berry Center.

“Our teachers and students are very excited to bring back this great tradition,” said Loretta Bourn, coordinator for elementary music. “It’s a special opportunity for 340 voices to come together to sing at the Berry Center.” The $10,000 donation is anticipated to benefit 16,564 elementary and 1,100 secondary students. A variety of needs will be addressed, including Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) registration assistance, music equipment for classrooms and additional master classes for secondary campuses. “We are grateful and excited that Cy-Hope has made this generous contribution for our students. This will benefit many of our programs which otherwise would not have this opportunity,” said Larry Matysiak, CFISD director of fine arts. “Our teachers and students are very excited about this wonderful grant, which will go a long way to help our students succeed.”

Cornerstone United Methodist Church “CHRIST IN THE PASSOVER”
What do the Jewish Passover and Jesus’ Last Supper have in common? A representative of Jews for Jesus will answer that question in a presentation called “Christ in the Passover” on Holy (Maundy) Thursday, March 28th at 7 PM at Cornerstone United Methodist Church. Using a visual display of traditional Passover accouterments, the “Christ in the Passover” presentation enhances the Christian’s understanding and appreciation of the Jewish background of the Christian Communion. Ancient and modern Jewish customs are discussed and described with an emphasis on the aspect of redemption, which Christ accomplished at Calvary. A table is set with the traditional Jewish Passover items, including representative foods, which are explained, but not eaten. The ceremonial seder plate, the threecompartment pouch in which the matzo (unleavened bread) is kept, as well as the traditional cup of Elijah are presented and new insights to their christological significance are provided. Jews for Jesus has presented this demonstration in over five thousand churches. It was originally written in 1956 by Moishe Rosen, the founder and former executive director of Jews for Jesus. The presentation was abstracted from the writings of the late Rabbi Leopold Cohn, who came to faith in Jesus in 1894 and died in 1936. Dr. Rosen contends that some of the most important elements of Christian doctrine, such as the Trinity, the principle of substitutionary atonement and salvation through a personal relationship with the Messiah, are implied in the Seder (Passover feast) as observed by Orthodox Jews even today. According to Dr. Rosen, “The Christ in the Passover presentation is one

way Jews for Jesus can help churches appreciate the Jewish roots of the Christian faith.” Cornerstone United Methodist Church is located at 18081 West Road (across from the CFISD Berry Center). There is not cost for the event but a love offering will be taken. Everyone is invited to attend this special worship celebration and learning opportunity. If you need more information, please call the church at 281-859-4141.
CORNERSTONE UMC HOLY WEEK WORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Holy Week represents the last week of Jesus’ life on earth, beginning with his triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating with his glorious resurrection from the dead the following Sunday, Easter. This year, Holy Week is from Sunday, March 24th through Sunday, March 31st. During this week, cornerstone United Methodist Church will be offering a variety of worship and fellowship opportunities at their West Road Campus at 18081 West Road (across from the CFISD Berry Center). The following is a list of the Holy Week worship opportunities for young and old alike presently planned at Cornerstone UMC. • MAUNDY THURSDAY COMMUNION SERVICE (March 28th): The word Maundy literally means “command,” reminding Christians that Jesus commanded his followers at the Last Supper to “do this in remembrance of me.” A representative from “Jews for Jesus” will be present a special program entitled, “Christ in the Passover.” The service will be held at 7 PM and will include the serving of Holy Communion. • GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE (March 29th): At 7 PM, we will gather to commemorate the crucifixion of our Lord with a blackening of the sanctuary. Special music for the service will be provided by the Chancel Choir accompanied by a Good Friday Drama. • EASTER MORNING WORSHIP SERVICES (March 31st): There will be several opportunities to worship the resurrection of our Lord. At 6:30 AM, the Youth will be leading a “Sunrise” service. At 8:30 & 10:45 AM, we will have inspiring services with the Chancel Choir and an accompanying orchestra providing the special music. At the 9:30 AM service, the Journey Praise Band will lead the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. A nursery will be available as always for all of the worship services except the Sunrise Service. For directions or more information, please call the church at 281-859-4141.
