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.

respective girls’ and boys’ East Team rosters for the 39th McDonald’s All American Games, to be played at the United Center in Chicago. The girls’ game will tip off at 5:30 p.m. on ESPNU, while the boys’ game will start at 8 p.m. on ESPN. Fox, a 6-foot-3 guard who signed with Kentucky, will serve as CFISD’s firstever male representative in the game. “I’m excited to represent Cypress Lakes and CFISD as a McDonald’s AllAmerican. It’s one of many goals I set for myself coming into the season and it feels good to have accomplished it,” he said. “I’ve been told I’m the first male player to be a McDonald’s selection in our district, and I hope it’s a trend more players can follow.” Mulkey, a 6-foot-9 center who signed with Oklahoma, follows in the footsteps of former Cy-Fair High School stars and current WNBA standouts Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike, who played in the 2008 and 2010 McDonald’s All American Games, respectively. “When you look at the Ogwumikes, they’re going really far in their careers, and I want to do the same as them and continue to make a good name for Cypress,” Mulkey said. “I’ve wanted to make the McDonald’s All American team since my sophomore year. It means a lot and it’s a huge honor. I think it’s really awesome that De’Aaron and I are two athletes coming out of [CFISD] to play in the game. I think that says a lot about Cypress.” The McDonald’s restaurant located at 9715 Barker Cypress Road will hold a celebratory send-off event for Fox and Mulkey on Tuesday, March 8 from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Scouts GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL COPPER CREEK MEADOWS COMMUNITY

Copper Creek Meadows Community received our shipment of Girl Scout Cookies early in February. We would like to thank all those who came out to unload the truck and assist in the distribution, especially our community cookie manager, Michelle Baxmann. Cookie sales continue through March 20th. Look for cookie booths at area businesses and other locations. Cookie sales support programs and facilities for Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, as well as funding activities for individual troops. We appreciate the support of our friends and neighbors! Those attending our Leader-Daughter event in December had a different kind of service project this year! They helped to refurbish Barbie and other fashion dolls donated to a local assistance ministry. The dolls were first cleaned and sanitized and then they got a makeover! New hairdos, clothes and shoes let the dolls look their fashionable best before meeting their new owners for the holidays. Our World Thinking Day event in February had troops representing Vietnam, Madagascar, Japan, Puerto Rico, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, France, China, Egypt, Canada, Jamaica, Australia, Spain, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa. Each troop attending had a booth to represent their country, with food and “swaps” and activities. We closed the evening with a Friendship Circle and sang “Make New Friends”. We also collected nickels for the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund. Thinking Day commemorates the birthdays of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell and reminds us to “think” of our fellow Scouts and Guides around the world.

March brings Girl Scout Week and the 104th anniversary of Girl Scouting in the United States. Many of our members will also take part in special activities at their place of worship on Girl Scout Sabbath and Girl Scout Sunday. A STRIDERS (Scout Teams Running in Different Events and Relays) event is scheduled for April, with a variety of track and field events for Girl Scouts of all ages. Whether we are jumping rope, racing around the track or making a standing broad jump, it is even more fun when our families come out to coach and cheer us on! Leaders and their daughters are looking forward to some special times together at our spring event in Wimberley. Horseback riding, rock climbing, lots of crafts, a Dutch Oven Cook-off and a talent show are all part of this very special weekend. We also enjoy kayaking, playing in the river and just hanging out together. A little shopping sometimes helps to round out the weekend! Lots of things are going on in our Council for older girls in April, including Cadette weekend and Girl Scout Law day. Girl Scouts from Copper Creek Meadows Community also have an opportunity to participate (with their troops or their families) at The Girl Scout Sleepover on May 20th at the Sugarland Skeeters stadium in Sugarland. The Skeeters will be playing Bridgeport. There will be a Scout parade in the stadium before the game. Following the game, participating Girl Scout groups will pitch their tents on the field, watch a movie and enjoy a midnight snack before it is “Lights Out” and officially quiet time until breakfast the next morning. Plans are in the works for a Father/Daughter event and a Bridging ceremony, as well as an event for adult volunteers. Members of Brownie troop 16016 are looking forward to working on their Brownie Senses and Brownie Hiker Badges at the George Ranch. Girl Scouting is open to all girls ages 5 (must be in kindergarten) through 18, who are willing to accept the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Girls may join at any level and no previous Scouting experience is required. Copper Creek

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA COPPERHEAD DISTRICT

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities that allow them to: • Try new things. • Provide service to others. • Build self-confidence. • Reinforce ethical standards. Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility and high selfesteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made. Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.

“I’m In PAIN” Can Chiropractic Help ME ?

We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor of chiropractic can help my problem?” We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, (procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. We will make this special program available through March. The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient.
