Katie was our chapter’s 1st place winner while her twin sister, Madie, was our 2nd place winner. • In The George & Stella Knight Essay Contest, students in grades 9-12 write about events that shaped American History. Penny Rosas, AP History teacher at Mayde High School, encouraged her students to submit essays. Chapter winners were Amber Chen-Goodspeed 1st place and Jonathan Amstutz 2nd place. • The JROTC Recognition Program is designed to foster the principle of the “citizen-soldier,” exemplified by the Minutemen of Revolutionary War days. This year the chapter awarded Medals and Certificates to 18 Outstanding High School students who participate in their High School JROTC programs. • We honor Eagle Scouts for their achievements and Daniel Schwin was our 1st place chapter winner of the Eagle Scout Contest. • The American History Teacher Award is given to a teacher whose instruction on the Revolutionary War excels above curriculum requirements. Joan Linsley was the 1st place winner of our chapter and Texas. Joan teaches social studies at Pin Oak Middle School. This is the second time the Rankin Chapter winner has won at the state level. • The Rankin Chapter was awarded a Star for Service to Children of the American Revolution (CAR), for promoting various youth programs. This is Rankin’s 4th consecutive year winning this award. Patriot Bobby Smith is the CAR Liaison Chairman. • This was Rankin’s 7th consecutive year to win a Star for the Furlong Award (Flag Certificates) and is the unofficial leader in Texas.

HOMEMADE MOSQUITO TRAP (YES, IT’S SKEETER TIME!)

1. Cut a plastic 2-liter bottle in two, halfway between the bottom and the top. 2. Mix 1/4 cup of brown sugar with 1 cup of hot water. Let cool. When cold, pour in the bottom half of the 2-liter bottle. 3. Add 1 gram of yeast. No need to mix. One packet of Fleischman’s active dry yeast is usually 1/4 ounce or 7 grams, so just a pinch is enough and you’ll have plenty left over from the packet for subsequent refills for your trap (put the leftover yeast packet in a ziplock bag and place in your refrigerator). 4. Place the funnel (top) part of the bottle, upside down, into the bottom half of the bottle, making sure the opening doesn’t extend into the water mixture. Tape the two halves of the bottle together securely with electrical (black) tape so there are no gaps. The black color attracts mosquitoes. 5. Place the trap in an area outside that is away from your normal gathering/activities area. 6. Change the solution every 2 weeks.

• Plant fall flowering annuals where your spring annuals have bloomed out. Set our seeds like zinnia, marigold, cosmos, petunia and portulaca so you’ll have color until frost. Don’t let seedlings dry out. • In summer, prune roses to keep them in shape. Continue black spot and insect treatments. Water 2” once per week. • Remove spent crepe myrtle flowers to prolong bloom production.

• Weeds rob plants of valuable water, nutrients-remove them. • Great sun/heat-lovers include coral honeysuckle, coreopsis, lantana, oleanders and hamelia. • Fertilize flowers lightly, if at all; too hot for heavy feedings. • Water your lawn longer but less frequent. Deep water of about 2 - 3” per week forces plant roots to grow down, instead of sideways into sunbaked upper soil levels. Use a bowl in your yard to measure during waterings.

HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal. Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County Animal Control) advises that “All dogs and cats must be kept

The Lakes July 2013

under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.” Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following circumstances: 1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not have access to sidewalk or street.” While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained. Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet.

PACK 353

Cub Scout Pack 353, based out of St. Peter’s UMC, culminated another successful year as 40 boys advanced in rank at the annual end of the year May Picnic, held recently at Green Trails Park. Throughout the year the boys participated in various learning, fun filled activities and community service projects. Most recently, they were honored by Nottingham Country Elementary for their yearly coordination and participation in the Spring Carnival clean up. The Scouts have several fun activities planned this summer. If you are interested in learning more about Scouts, please contact Victoria Salinas at vc_conde@hotmail.com or visit www.katycubscouts.com.

GORDON ROSEL EARNS EAGLE AWARD Gordon Rosel, 18, of Katy, has earned the prestigious Eagle Scout Award, the highest rank the Boy Scouts of America offers to Scouts. Rosel was recognized in ceremonies on Sunday, April 29, 2013 at St. Peter’s Methodist Church in Katy. He earned the rank of Eagle on February 27, 2013. A member of Troop 209, chartered by St. Peter’s Methodist Church, Rosel is one of approximately 4 percent of all Boy Scouts who attain the Eagle rank. Each candidate must earn 21 merit badges and successfully complete a service project that benefits a non-profit organization or the community. To earn his Eagle, Rosel developed a Land Navigation Course in George Bush Park that benefits the National Guard Armory, the Boy Scouts and the general public. Rosel began scouting in kindergarten in Cub Scout Pack 443. As a Cub, he earned ranks of Tiger, Wolf and Webelos. When asked what was the most difficult badge to earn he stated; “It was the rock climbing, because I didn’t know how to tie all those knots.” His favorite activity was camping (with over 100 nights of overnight camping to his credit) and admits his favorite camping staple is Pop-Tarts. Gordon received the Triple Crown last summer by completing all three national high-adventure bases operated by the Boy Scouts of American (Northern Tier in Minnesota and Canada, Philmont in New Mexico and Florida Sea Base in the Florida Keys).

Rosel has been a member of the swim and football teams, as well as the FFA at Faith West Academy, where he is a senior. In the fall, Rosel plans to attend Sam Houston University to major in Criminal Justice. He was inspired by Scoutmaster Drew Young, a scoutmaster of Troop 209, who is on Houston’s bomb squad. Rosel wants to one day be on the SWAT, because “I see a need for justice and this where I am suppose to go,” he said. He is the son of Jeff Rosel and Kendra Rose both of Katy.
