NatioNal HurricaNe PreParedNess exercise commaNd Post establisHed The incident command post is up and running at West Houston Airport for the U.S. Northern Command exercise Ardent Sentry. The 25-member incident command staff will be using new technology and field testing local plans for the hurricane disaster preparedness exercise. Ardent Sentry will evaluate existing plans, policies and procedures of various civilian and military agencies, including two CAP wings - Louisiana and Texas. The exercise scenario begins with a massive tropical storm named Zelda predicted to become a major hurricane on a direct path toward the Gulf Coast. The North American Aerospace Defense Command, U.S. Northern Command, U.S. Army North and Federal Emergency Management Agency also will play important roles. The Texas Wing’s Group IV Advanced Ground Team has arrived at the command post and will soon be dispatched to the evacuation zone to assist local officials with radio communications and emergency services as needed. Plans are also under way to launch an aircraft for predisaster photo missions using CAP digital and multidirectional, full-motion video cameras. CAP personnel from across Texas and Louisiana are en route to the command post for this exercise, which is expected to last several days. The incident commander at West Houston Airport is Lt. Col. Rick Woolfolk of the Texas Wing. Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit organization with more than 61,000 members nationwide, operating a fleet of 550 aircraft. CAP, in its Air Force auxiliary role, performs 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and was credited by the AFRCC with saving 54 lives in fiscal year 2011. Its volunteers also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. The members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to nearly 27,000 young people currently participating in the CAP cadet program. CAP received the World Peace Prize in 2011 and has been performing missions for America for 70 years. CAP also participates in Wreaths Across America, an initiative to remember, honor and teach about the sacrifices of U.S. military veterans.

Katy’s Gifted studeNts build tHe Great Wall of cHiNa WitH leGo & desiGN comPuter Games Over 250 excited elementary students and their parents gathered at Taylor High School - their mission was to build the Great Wall of China out of Legos at the Katy Parents of Gifted and Talented (KPGT) and Katy ISD GT Design Date. Led by Bricks 4 Kidz, the students tackled the project with gusto. Whilst their wall may not be visible from space, their creation was certainly more colorful than the original.

Meanwhile 4th and 5th grade GT students took over a lab to design their own computer games. Led by techno whizzes from WonderSpace, screens lit up with vibrant space scenes, volcanoes and robots as new found computer skills met lively imaginations. Triumphs were congratulated; tricky bits negotiated with new friends and adults marveled at the incredible attention span of children so intent on completing a project they were totally engrossed for hours.

SUMMER LAWN CARE In summer, lawns get hammered. There’s extra wear and tear from weekend play, stress from summer heat and corresponding pressure to cut back on watering due to increased utility rates. But if you start a sensible lawn-care program now, you can strengthen your turf going into summer, help it stay greener and give it a better chance against the ravages of insects and disease.

GRILLING SEASONAL VEGETABLES By Paula Deen Test Kitchen Grilling fresh seasonal vegetables is a not only a healthy way to prepare them, it’s also a snap! Why dirty up another bowl, pan or dish after a long day? Not to mention the ease and speediness in which dinner is ready and the cost effectiveness of grilling a side dish. The exclamation points are the appealingly sweet smoky flavor that a grill imparts and the bright colors left behind. Here are some handy grilling tips for preparing vegetables along with a couple of recipe ideas. We hope the next time you have a chance to pick vegetables fresh from the garden or your local farmers market you use these tips and cook them on the grill. Vegetable Grilling Tips: ** Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray prior to heating the grill to help make clean up a snap.

**Make sure your grill is medium hot. One way to test this is to place your hand over the grill. If you can hold it there for 4 seconds, the fire is medium hot. **Prevent your vegetables from drying out on the grill by soaking them in cold water first. **Vegetables should be cut to expose the most surface area to the grill. This helps them to cook quickly. Also, cut the pieces equal in size so they will cook evenly. For example: Cut your squash and eggplant into strips, not rounds, of the same width. **Use kosher salt or sea salt on your vegetables to bring out extra moisture. Seasoning with salt and pepper both before and after grilling helps to make them sweet and full of flavor. **Someone in the family doesn’t like grilled vegetables? Try this trick. Sprinkle a little sugar on the vegetables half way through the cooking. This gives them a wonderful caramel flavor. **Use tongs to turn your vegetables on the grill instead of a fork. You don’t want to puncture them, as it will release the moisture. **Smaller vegetables such as cherry tomatoes (we’ll just pretend and call this a vegetable) and small mushrooms might fall through the grill and should be skewered first. Thick onion slices should also be skewered all the way through to keep them whole while grilling. I like to use metal skewers instead of bamboo since they don’t burn and I can reuse them. **Because vegetables lack fat, they need oil or some sort of liquid marinade to prevent them from burning and sticking to the grill. Brush them with a vegetable oil or flavored oil such as a prepared salad dressing prior to placing on the grill. You can also marinate them in a prepared dressing or your own marinade recipe.

Corn on the cob: Gently pull back the husks but keep them intact. Remove the silks and soak the cobs in cold water for 30 minutes. Dry and brush with butter or make your own compound butter by mixing together 1/4 cup butter (room temperature), 2 teaspoons ground chipotle pepper, and zest of one lime. Fold the husks back down over the kernels, twist the ends and place on the grill for 8-10 minutes, turning every two minutes. Serve with extra Chipotle, Lime Butter or have fun and invent other compound butters.

LIVING Word LutheraN ChurCh hoStS the BIG BIG BaNd FroM SWedeN The BIG Big Band from Sweden is coming to Katy as part of their 9th U.S. tour since their first in 1978. This outstanding 63 person band will appear at 7 pM on Thursday, July 12th in the Sanctuary of Living Word Lutheran Church located at 3700 S. Mason Road. The band includes members in their late teens, as well as those who have played in the band for more than 40 years. Band members come from several small villages in the Southern province of Sweden. Erik Karp, a Christian music teacher, started the band in 1955 as a way to reach neighborhood youth with the Gospel message. Joining the band on their 2012 tour is Vincent Nilsson, a band alum, who now is one of the most renowned jazz trombonists in the world. Living Word cordially invites the community to join us for this unique concert. The group’s “big band sound” will appeal to young and old.

The production also features Lighting Design by Riana Canetti-Rios and Sound Design by Travis Ammons. A young couple, Nick and Colby, have all the expectations that most of us dream of about our child to be.

Coming to terms with that reality takes them on a life altering and often humors journey of self-discovery and acceptance.
