5b THE TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS WEDNESDAY, AUgUST 14, 2013
The Revolutionary War ended
well more than 200 years ago, but
female descendents of the patriots
who fought in the war continue
to gather each month to promote
patriotism, preserve American
history and provide ongoing
education through the Daughters
of the American Revolution
organization.
We are a non-political
organization. Sometimes people
confuse politics and patriotism,
but its two different things, said
Twila Ilgen, former Regent of the
Humble-based J ames Tull Chapter
of the DAR.
Membership in the organization
is open to any woman 18 years or
older who can prove she is a lineal
descendent from a patriot of the
American Revolution.
To qualify, the lineal ancestor
did not necessarily need to fght
in the Revolutionary War. They
could have been a soldier or
support. There were different
levels of people who provided
support services in the American
Revolution, said Ilgen.
To assist potential members
with tracing their history, the
DAR has developed a database of
extensive genealogical records,
accessible at the DAR website.
In addition, the DAR, also
has members who are expert
geneologists who are always happy
to help prospective members with
their paperwork. There are a lot of
different ways to prove lineage. In
the early days, you proved it by
census records, which showed they
had two frying pans, three kids,
and a pig. Ive seen some census
records that are hysterical. Those
are the types of things you use
to prove that a great, great, great
grandparent was living at the time,
and their child was this one. Not
all births were recorded by birth
certifcate at the time they were
born. Some were in family records,
written in Bibles, census records,
cemetery records. Its actually quite
interesting, noted Ilgen.
On a national level, the DAR
has 170,000 members in more than
3,000 chapters across the United
States, the United Kingdom,
Australia, Canada, Mexico and
other international locations. For
the frst time, the president general
of the national DAR, Lynn F.
Young, is actually from Houston.
Thats the frst time the DAR has
had a Texan in that role. She will
be in that role for three years, said
Ilgen.
Locally, the J ames Tull Chapter
has approximately 150 members.
Among other activities, the chapter
sponsors an annual American
History Essay Contest for ffth-
to eighth-graders, supports the
Daniel Hill Society, a chapter
of the Children of the American
Revolution, and sponsors a Good
Citizens program and Scholarship
Contest for high school seniors.
We also support active
military abroad by sending care
packages overseas. Several of us
have specifc young people who we
have never met, who we have made
contact with, that we support by
sending toiletries, snacks and other
things the military does not cover.
That list is huge, you would be
shocked and amazed, said Ilgen.
DAR members also volunteer at
local hospitals.
The J ames Tull Chapter meets
on the frst Saturday of each
month, from August through May
at the Senior Activities Center on
North Houston Avenue in Humble.
Visitors and prospective members
are welcome at all meetings, except
for one annual business meeting
in J anuary. For more information,
email twila.ilgen@gmail.com.

THE TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS WEDNESDAY, AUgUST 14, 2013
Just beforeMuppets creator
Jim Henson appeared on the
Arsenio Hall Show on May 4,
1990, hementioned that hewas
tired and had a sorethroat. Still
feeling ill a week later, Henson
consulted a doctor who simply
prescribed aspirin. Two days later,
Henson had problems breathing
and was rushed to the hospital
wherehedeteriorated rapidly. On
the morning of May 16, 1990,
Henson died of organ failure at
the age of 53, the devastating
result of sepsis.
Oneof theleading causes of
death around theworld, sepsis is
when the bodys response to an
infection injures its own tissues
and organs. Common causes
of sepsis include pneumonia,
urinary tract infections, and skin
infections caused by infected
insect and dog biteor scratches.
If caught early, sepsis is
treatable. Thetroubleis, thereis
no singlediagnostic test.
Distinguishing sepsis
from the original infection is
not easy even for a seasoned
clinician because the symptoms
can bevery similar, said Texas
Medical Center president and
CEO Robert C. Robbins, M.D.,
an internationally recognized
cardiac surgeon. Frequently,
family or friends are the ones
who see something is just not
right.
Texas Medical Center is
leading an effort to increase
clinical and community awareness
of sepsis and its symptoms. Some
of thesigns to watch for include
feeling disproportionately ill
(for instance, a skin infection
that leads to loss of appetite or
extreme dizziness) and getting
worse rather than better while
being treated for an infection.
People wait too long.
They dont realize how fast
things can happen, said Imrana
A. Malik, M.D., chair of the
Texas Medical Center Sepsis
Awareness Committee and
associate professor, Department
of Critical Careat TheUniversity
of Texas MD Anderson Cancer
Center. Sepsis tends to strike
people over 65 or those with
weakened immunesystems. But,
what is critical to remember is
that everyoneis susceptible.
Sepsis is a life-threatening
emergency. Look for:
Fever and shaking chills
Reduced mental alertness,
sometimes with confusion
Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea
Low blood pressure
Altered kidney or liver function
To promote sepsis
awareness, Texas Medical Center
will host, Silent Killer: Cruel
Lessons, Critical Practices, in
the 3rd Floor Auditoriumat the
UTHealth Medical School, 6431
Fannin Street on Friday, Sept. 13.
Information booths and exhibits

Haskell. Haskell has worked in

error death of her 15-year-old
son. Health care workers and

more.

Welcome, everyone, to the new Out and
About here to catch you up on whats
happening in the Lake Houston area!
How often do you get those Galveston Island Mambo
Kings to play My Girl while you propose to your in-
tended? Thats what happened to Humble native stephen
pickel who got down on one knee during the Kings Harbor
Concert on Aug. 2 and proposed to courtney poindex-
ter, of Atascocita. Stephen and Courtney were enjoying
the Kings Harbor concert and celebrating the birthday of
Courtneys mom, Joyce poindexter. Stephen decided that
was the perfect time to pop the question. We couldnt hear
surprised Courtneys answer because the band was playing,
the crowd was cheering and the boats in the San J ac were
tooting. Courtney is a nurse at Memorial Hermann North-
east Hospital and Stephen is an IT-guy for AIG in Houston.
The date is still under wraps but Courtneys eye-catching
ring certainly isnt. Congratulations to the happy couple
and to their proud parents, peggy pickel of Humble and
Mark and Joyce poindexter. One fnal note, Courtney is
the granddaughter of long time Memorial Hermann North-
east Hospital Volunteer paula Mccreary.
staci White became the bride of Nathan Winn on
J uly 27. The wedding was beautiful, and the reception,
held at The Barrington, was lots of fun. A few guests enjoy-
ing the delicious food of Amedeos were ron and Halene
crossman, eunice and rod Dennis, Janice and paul
costa, karen and earl Garrison, Dr. elaine scott, and
Marianne and bill Armosky, among many others. Parents
of the bride, susan and ron White, were beaming happily!
Speaking of ron andHalene crossman, the couple
attended a private Texas Federation of Republican Women
patrons event at the new Bush Library in Dallas a couple
of weeks ago in conjunction with the TFRW board meeting.
president George bush showed up as a special surprise and
spent half an hour visiting with the specially invited guests at
the reception in Cafe 43. As he was leaving, the former presi-
dent initiated a hand shake and said, Hi Halene, its good to
see you again. How thrilling to be recognized by name!
Do you ever feel like your day is shaping up to be akin
to climbing Mt. Fuji? Well, one day last week, keith and
beryl summer of Kingwood, Jared and tamany brown,
of Summerwood, chris, cheyenne and John Heimburger,
of Atascocita, John and shey Moniz and brennan and
Mariah tekulve, Atascocita, did just that climbed Mount
Fuji! Congratulations on a literally, monumental achieve-
ment! The group, members of United Airlines Great Ad-
ventures Series, shot breathtaking sunrise photographs from
the more than 12,300-feet-summit in the Land of the Rising
Sun. How amazing!

Exchanging your propane tank,

taking your car to a gas station
that charges you full price for

Your grilling cylinder is capable of

why would you go somewhere that
only gives you 15 pounds?
Local exchanges cost anywhere

Preventing Falls: Life Saving Advice for Caregivers.
Falls are one of the greatest long term threats to the health of older
Americans, even though many are preventable with proper lifestyle changes.
Half of those who are hospitalized with a hip fracture are unable to return
home after their injury and many will suffer secondary complications ranging
from depression to pneumonia.
One in three persons over the age of 65 has a fall each year; that increases to
one in two for those over 80. Dont struggle with aging. Find a solution. Call
our Brookdale community to fnd out how we can serve your familys needs.

I just got back froma weeklong visit to the
LakeTahoearea and just as important and fun
was thesidetrip wetook on our last full day. I
reconnected with my distant cousin, Phyllis, who
lives in Auburn, California, with her husband
Tom and daughter J ulia. They were a mere
one hour fromthe home we were renting. We
really dont remember ever meeting beforethis
past week but my dad and her mom were frst
cousins...So what does that makeus? Related!
We were anxious to visit with each other and fll
in all themissing information about our Big Fat
Greek Family!! We had been communicating
over thepast year or two and when I asked her
how closeshewas to thehousewewererenting
shesaid, Oh about an hour. Lets get together;
you comehere, or I will go thereor wecan meet
in themiddle. Sinceweknew weweregoing
to her area for a wine tasting, we Texans, all
six of us loaded up two cars and headed over
the mountain to reconnect with my Yia Yias
sisters descendants. My cousin Phyllis great
grandfather bought 100 acres back in 1918
and madeit their home, farmand ranch. I was
mesmerized as soon as I arrived. It was like
traveling back to Crete. Thehousewas modern,
of course, but the topography was the 1960s
Greece that I remember so well. The hillside
was so bountiful, and beautiful; the area was
alive with fruit trees: it was a collage of fruit,
pomegranates, fgs, plums, nectarines, peaches,
pears and a few walnut trees thrown in for good
measure. Wesipped homemadewineunder the
grape arbors (with grapes dangling overhead
liketangled green strings of pearls). Wechecked
out thebees and their hives and walked through
thevegetablegarden. Therewewere, amazed at
theheritagezucchinis, grown fromseeds from
Crete. Thereis loveeverywhereon this pieceof
paradise, this small, family owned-and-operated
business. They are passionate about keeping
it small and family owned and committed to
incorporating sustainable farming practices
wherever possible Oh, and my granddaughter
Victorias favorite part of the visit? Why the
chickens of course!
They do have a wonderful web site; please
take a look at the Boorinakis Harper Ranch,
four generations strong bhranch.net.
I was intrigued by the fact that they had
heritage vegetables fromCrete and zucchinis
no less. So lets leave the farmand Please

1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 large onion, diced
1 1/2 lbs. eggplant, peeled and
cut into inch dice
2 large red peppers, roasted, peeled,
seeded, and diced, or one 16-18
oz. jar drained well and diced
4 mediumcloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves about
one large bunch, no stems or branches
5 ripe plumtomatoes, seeded and
diced (about 1 cups) or 1- 18
oz can drained and chopped
2/3 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. sugar
Salt and freshly ground

2/3 lb. Feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or Greek
Kefalotyri cheese if you can fnd it
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 lb. phyllo pastry sheets
1/3 lb. butter melted
Olive oil for brushing
DIRECTIONS: For the Peppers: You
can roast the red peppers in the oven or on
the grill. Roast them in a 400-degree oven
until the skin is blackened and blistered on all
sides. Remove fromoven, place in a paper
bag for 3-4 minutes. Remove frombag and
cool slightly, peel the skin off, remove the
seeds, and dice. Heat the olive oil in a large
skillet over mediumhigh heat. Add the onion
and saut until tender, about 5 minutes. Add
the eggplant and season with salt and freshly
ground black pepper. Saut the eggplant with
the onions until tender, about 10 minutes. Add
the diced red peppers, garlic, and parsley.
Continue to cook another 5 minutes then add
tomatoes, cumin, and sugar. Saut the mixture
for another 5 minutes or so until the favors are
combined. Remove fromheat and set aside to
cool a bit before adding remaining ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the
melted butter with about a 1/2-cup of olive oil.
Brush the sides and bottomof a 9 x 12 pan with
the butter/olive oil mixture. Add the crumbled
feta, eggs, and grated Kefalotyri cheese to the
eggplant mixture and stir to combine. Unwrap
the Phyllo: if needed, cut the sheets in half
to make two stacks of 9x12 inch sheets. To
prevent drying, cover one stack with wax paper
and a damp paper towel while working with
the other. Lay 10 sheets of phyllo in the bottom
of the pan making sure to brush each sheet with
the butter/olive oil mixture. Take 4 sheets and
lay each sheet horizontally with half the sheet
hanging outside the pan to be folded in over the
flling. Layer half the flling in a single layer.
Fold in the sheets to cover the mixture and
brush with butter/olive oil.
Add another 10 sheets to the top of the
pita, layering and brushing each. Using a sharp
serrated knife carefully cut the top layers of
phyllo into pieces making sure not to cut the
flling layer. Bake in a preheated 350 degree
oven for 45 50 minutes or until the phyllo is
a nice golden brown color. Remove fromthe
oven cool slightly before cutting the pieces
all the way through. Use any remaining sheets
to make another full pan or fold into phyllo
triangles and freeze between sheets of waxed
paper. Be sure to brush tops of triangles with
melted butter or olive oil before baking.

Slice of life
Veteran Texas food writer Robb
Walsh served as a judge at a
chuck wagon cook-off, worked
as a deckhand on a shrimp
boat, and went mayhaw-pick-
ing in the Big Thicket--for
seven years, he drove the
length and breadth of the
state looking for the best in
barbecue, burgers, kolaches,
and tacos; while scouring
museums, libraries, and
public archives unearthing
vintage photos, culinary
stories, and nearly-forgot-
ten dishes. Then he headed home to
Houston to test the recipes hed collected back in his own
kitchen. The result is Texas Eats: The New Lone Star Heritage
Cookbook, a colorful and deeply personal blend of history,
anecdotes, and recipes from all over the Lone Star State.
Slice of life
Dish Name: The Wildcat
Price: $10.48 with sandwich side and drink.
Description: The Wildcat, named for the mascot of
Humble High School, is aptly named because it brings
feisty, authentic Texas barbecue favor. The smokey
beef is bold enough without added sauce, but the
honey chipotle sauce adds extra tang and spice.

The coNjuRiNg
(Rated R)
This movie hit No. 1
at the box offce for two
reasons: It had no compe-
tition from R.I.P.D or
any other movie, and
it misled moviegoers
with its frightening
previews. Too bad it
couldnt conjure up
any scares after it was
all said and done. I
dont even know where
to begin on this kiddie
ride of a horror movie.
While the director,
J ames Wan, nearly
eliminated hackneyed
jump scares, he
failed to insert any ele-
ment of tangible fear in
this movie. You could
watch in the dark and
not feel anything, much
like Wans hit from a
few years ago, Insidi-
ous. The characters are so
lifeless and the storytelling
is equally so. Dont even
bother renting it.

THE TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS WEDNESDAY, AUgUST 14, 2013
As you have probably
heard, we are now in
hurricane season. While
many people prepare by
stocking up on necessities
like water, canned goods
and batteries, the process
of getting fnances in order
tends to get overlooked
during this time. Regardless
of your annual income or
assets, fnancial preparedness
is critical to resuming daily
life following a storm. There
is often little warning before
a disaster comes, so it is
something you want to have
in place should the time
come when you need it.
Here are 5 steps you can
take to ensure your fnancial
needs will be covered before
a hurricane (or any natural
disaster) strikes, and maintain
your fnancial stability in the
event of a disaster.
1. Organize important
papers. Gather all of the
important fnancial records
that you would need in the
event you are unable to return
home for several weeks. This
will include health, life and
property insurance policies,
credit card and bank account
information, auto registration
and title papers, as well as
your real estate deeds. These
are all documents that might
be necessary to start fling
claims immediately after
a storm, so be sure to have
your account numbers and
claims contact information
included.
In addition, you may also
want to have copies of birth
certifcates/adoption papers,
marriage license, social
security cards, and your
previous years tax returns in
case you need to certify your
and your familys identities
or household income.
2. Withdraw emergency
cash to have if needed.
Like Houston experienced
with Hurricane Ike, in the
immediate days after a
storm, many ATMs may
not be operating and banks
closed during the immediate
recovery period. You should
plan to withdraw 3-5 days
worth of spending money in
case that happens. Store this
money in a safe, possibly
alternate place. You will
obviously want to have a
safe and secure location for
this money, which we discuss
next.
3. Create secure storage.
Place all of these documents
and emergency cash in
a locked, waterproof &
freproof container to have
ready to take with you in
the event of an evacuation.
If you are unable to get
home before disaster strikes,
having a secure method
of storage will hopefully
allow for its contents to be
recovered in order to help
you recover. One of the
most stressful parts after a
disaster for many people is
being able to locate these
documents and policies and
knowing where to call. You
can save a great deal of time
and headache by having it all
in one place now.
4. Enroll in online
banking and direct deposit.
While many people have
moved into online banking,
there are still those who track
their fnances the traditional
way. However, electronic
access to your account
allows you to pay bills,
transfer funds and monitor
your account online, which
can make life much easier
if roads are closed or you
have to evacuate to another
city. Make sure you know
your login and password
information to all accounts.
Look into direct deposit
options offered by your
employer and social security,
because then if a hurricane
disrupts mail service or you
have to relocate, your salary
or other money can still be
deposited into your account
without interruption.
5. Evaluate your
insurance coverages and
needs. Do this before or at
the beginning of hurricane
season you may not have
the chance right before a
storm hits. First, be sure
all of your policies (home,
auto, life) are up to date
and check for any potential
lapses. You will want to have
comprehensive insurance
for your assets so that the
liability you have based on
a natural disaster can be
transferred to the insurance
company.

Are you fnancially prepared for hurricane season?

Special to the Tribune
CureFest, set for Aug. 17,
will take the Humble Civic
Center by storm with both
indoor and outdoor activities.
This second year event
raises funds for brain cancer
research and all proceeds will
be donated directly to M.D.
Anderson Cancer Center in
Houston.
Attendees to the event can
expect live music; childrens
activities such as infatable
moonwalks, obstacle courses
and face painting; classic cars;
silent and live auctions; plus
food and drinks.
It was 2011 when local
resident and businessman Phil
Baumann was diagnosed with
Glioblastoma Multiforme -
GBM. When faced with the
devastating diagnosis, Phil
and Misty Baumann knew
then they wanted to start the
event.
A $150,000 donation to
the research team at M.D.
Anderson was raised during
last years CureFest, and
nine more families received
the same treatment as Phil.
Through this years sponsor,
Texan Dodge, CureFest
MusicFest is set to be the
largest music festival this area
has seen, featuring live music
frommore than a dozen bands
on two stages, according to
event organizers.
The family friendly
festival will feature KidsFest,
sponsored by Kids Playce
Learning Center & Daycare.
KidsFest will feature
moonwalks, rock wall
climbing, face painting and
more.
KidsFest will be all
indoors and air conditioned.
This makes it a great way to
beat the heat with the kids
that Saturday, said Jennifer
Jozwiak, of LHA Events.
Additionally, we will now
have snow cones, funnel cakes
and the GameKraze truck on
site, she added.
HEBs FoodFest will be
serving lunch and dinner to
festival-goers who can expect
to enjoy delicious barbeque,
sausage and other foods all
day.
There are a handful of
volunteer spots left which
can be found by clicking
the Volunteer button
on CureFest.com. Every
volunteer gets a free daytime
ticket to the event and a free
T-shirt, said Jozwiak.
Also on hand to help raise
funds will be KPRC-2 News.
They will have their helicopter
at the event and will be selling
tickets for helicopter rides
set to take place at their next
Fly Day at Hooks Airport.
CancerSucks!, a fellow
fundraising organization, will
be onsite selling T-shirts and
donating a portion of the funds
back to CureFest.
The festival will offer a
wonderful variety of vendors
set up inside the Civic Center.
More than 75 vendor booths
featuring everything from
local community services,
fashion accessories, health
products and much more will
be available.
The event will culminate
with an intimate concert with
John Michael Montgomery.
With 18 albums, 36 hit
singles, and 15 number one
hits, CureFest is excited to
announce that Country Musics
John Michael Montgomery
will be performing a concert
exclusively for CureFest
to help raise funds for the
cause! said Lynn Beckwith,
Phils sister.
The event hours are 11
a.m. to 10 p.m., and tickets
can be purchased for the
daytime music festival and all
the activities as a standalone
option (11 a.m. - 7 p.m.); or
tickets can be purchased for
John Michael Montgomerys
performance, which will
include the same access as
the daytime tickets with the
added bonus of seats for the
big concert. John Michael
Montgomerys performance
is at 8 p.m. Daytime tickets
are $5 for children, $10 for
adults, and John Michael
Montgomery tickets start at
$25. Tickets are on sale at
CureFest.com.

THE TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS WEDNESDAY, AUgUST 14, 2013
T
he Texas Rio Grande Valley hosts
birders from around the world to see
species they cant find anywhere else.
More than 560 species have been
documented in the two largest counties that make
up the Rio Grande Valley (or RGV, as they call it).
McAllen is one of the best areas to explore, and
if the birds arent enough, its a great place for
foodies to flock, and also offers quite the cultural
experience.
I had the opportunity to visit this Texas treasure
in the spring and I was quite pleasantly surprised
to see how much they have to offer. I stayed at
SpringHill Suites by Marriott, convenient to Palm
View Golf Course, McAllen Botanical Gardens and
La Plaza Mall.
Places to visit
My first birding experience was at the Quinta
Mazatlan (quintamazatlan.com), a mansion with a
mission.
It is one of nine world birding centers in the
Rio Grande Valley. As you wind your way through
the themed gardens, the diversity of plant life is
amazing. The RGVs subtropical climate hosts
more than a million types of plants; some that get
pushed to their furthest limits. Our guide explained
that drought lasting up to seven years causes
some plants to extend their roots 60 feet into the
ground in order to survive. In contrast, some years
are subject to Gulf-produced flooding. Moving
through the 15 acres of birding habitat feels like
youre in a foreign land.
Around 1910, the railroad came to Texas and
the RGV experienced its first taste of agriculture in
the mineral-rich ground. After WWII, there was a
surge of land clearing and farming increased into
the 60s. By the 90s there was a huge increase
in industry. After all was said and done, only 3
percent of the RGVs plant species remain. Quinta
Mazatlan is one of two patches of remaining forest,
where the lush plant life can still be enjoyed. While
here we saw the plain chachalaca eating oranges,
a golden fronted woodpecker, a curved bill
thrasher, jackrabbits (which I learned were actually
a type of hare), and many other forms of wildlife.
The mansion is lovely and it was hard to believe it
was purchased in 1968 for $24,000!
Next on our agenda was the Museum of
South Texas History (mosthistory.org). Shan
Rankin, executive director, described it as the
best first stop in the area. With 18,000 square
feet of permanent exhibits, be prepared to soak
up some Texas history you may never have
heard about. The museum first opened in 1967
in the Hidalgo County Jail building, which was
built in 1910. It has since undergone a $5.5
million expansion, of which the original section
in the old jail continues to be an important part.
Among the displays are prehistoric plant and
animal fossils, a steamboat replica and, as part
of the expansion, the first two sections of the
Rio Grande Legacy. This exhibit takes visitors
through the prehistory and history of the area. If
youre a history buff, the museum has more than
100,000 historic photographs in its archives.
Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park (tpwd.
state.tx.us/state-parks/bentsen-rio-grande-valley)
claims to be one of the nations top birding
destinations, and its not hard to see why. This was
most definitely a highlight of the trip. The 760-acre
park offers camping and special group rates. You
can rent a bike for $10 a day or $4 for a half-day
and take in the sites at your own pace. I tried this
and it was a very nice ride. You can also rent trikes
and binoculars. The park sits along the Rio Grande
River and offers refuge to tropical birds found
nowhere else in the U.S. I saw beautiful green jays,
two kinds of kingfishers, and many more. They
were magnificent! The ring kingfishers that I saw
were rarely seen in the past, but are now regulars
at the park and can also be found as far north as
Dallas. And from the Hawk Observation Tower you
can see the canopy and even into Mexico. The
park is open 365 days a year and not only hosts a
vast number of birds, but also some 300 types of
butterflies and 100 different dragonflies! This park
adjoins 1,700 acres of U.S Fish and Wildlife refuge
tracts. You could spend a week here and still not
see it all. Some of the birds are here year-round,
while for others it is part of their migration south.
They offer some excellent bird blinds where you
can watch the birds in their natural habitat without
disturbing them at all.
Whether you choose to hike, bike, kayak,
tram, or some of each, youll have plenty to see
and enjoy.
Then we were off to the incredible International
Museum of Art & Science (IMAS). Here we got a
birds eye view of Science on a Sphere (S.O.S).
One of only 100 in the world and created by NASA
and the NOAA, this spectacular display shows
weather, ocean temperature, views from the
Hubble Space Telescope, and more. Wow, was
this amazing! Its basically a video projection of
the world on a 68-inch globe made from carbon
fibers. And its not limited to Earth, as it can also
mimic the sun, moon, or other planets. If you cant
make it to McAllen to see the S.O.S. exhibit, the
Houston Museum of Natural Science in Sugar
Land also has one. IMAS (www.imasonline.org)
is currently displaying Calaveras del Monton: A
Tribute to Jose Guadalupe Posada (till Nov. 10)
and Entombed Treasures: Funerary Art of Han
Dynasty China (till Sept. 15). And if you miss the
Han Dynasty exhibit in McAllen, its on loan from
the San Antonio Museum of Art.
And while enjoying the culture in McAllen,
be sure not to miss the Nuevo Santander Gallery
(nuevosantander.com). Opened 15 years ago by
Becky and Che Guerra, it is internationally known
for collectibles such as vintage saddles and
spurs, antique guns and knives, Native American
beadwork, and much more. Their objective is to
give you the chance to own a part of history. This
unique gallery, located in Old Towne, features
Spanish Colonial and Old West finds. Local
artists are allowed to consign their work, and at
least five local artists work is on exhibit at any
given time. McAllen Artwalk is held in Old Towne
on the first Friday of each month, September
through May.And while were talking art, be sure
to check out McA2 Creative Incubator (mcallenart.
com). Described as the driving force of the Rio
Grande Valley art movement, youll find sculptors,
painters, photographers, graphic designers and
even a stage for performances. McA2 calls itself
the home, support, and voice for local artists.
They even offer classes if you would like to sit in
on one.
For everything you need to know to plan your
trip to McAllen, visit mcallencvb.com.
Photos, clockwise: The Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park is a quiet place to watch for birds while Science
on a Sphere is fun and fascinating for all ages. Quinta Mazatlan offers a lovely respite in the center of the city.
Bird watching buildings can be found throughout the state park where lucky visitors can see a colorful Green
Jay. Chachalacas love eating oranges at Quinta Mazatlan.
Places to eat
Did you know that
Mcallen has over 600
eateries within its city
limits? Mcallen is a
foodies fiesta. Youll
want to pace yourself,
but here are a few that

Sports
Im proud of my boys. They
have taken their training to
another level in this last year.
Rene BattenBeRg, seventhdegRee masteRtaekwondoinstRuctoR
A pair of Kingwood twin brother
martial artists earned double gold in
Taekwondo at the AAU Junior Olympic
Games held in Detroit July 25-29.
The brothers, Chancellor Battenberg
and Skye Battenberg, were coached
by their father Jeff Battenberg, a sixth
degree black belt and Taekwondo
master instructor. They competed in
the 12-14 year old category in different
weight divisions.
Chancellor fnalized his gold
medal with a 26-19 victory against
Casey Cella from Louisiana. Skye
fnished his path to gold with a 12-10
win against Edwin Drummond from
Maryland.
In addition to winning gold medals,
the Battenberg brothers trained with
Olympic gold medalist Steven Lopez,
of Sugar Land, and his coach/brother
Jean Lopez.
Currently, Skye and Chance
train approximately 10-14 hours per
week they know that the closer it
gets to the 2016 Olympic games, their
training will most likely triple, said
Jeff Battenberg.
Improud of my boys. They have
taken their training to another level in
this last year. Both of the boys have
opted out of sweets and soft drinks
to keep their conditioning level at a
maximum, said their mother Rene
Battenberg, a seventh degree master
instructor. They run one-to-four miles
every day, and kick approximately
3,000 5,000 times each week.
Kingwood brothers Chancellor Battenberg (left) and Skye Battenberg earned gold medals in Taekwondo at
the AAU Junior Olympics. The twin brothers were coached by their father Jeff Battenberg (middle).
After two straight years of making the
4A state playoffs, and winning their frst ever
playoff gamelast year, theSummer Creek
Bulldogs football team, which returns 13
starters this year, has much higher aspirations
than that in 2013.
Those expectations include making a
push towards astatechampionship.
Someof thoseexpectations havebeen
built, coach Brian Ford said, by a solid
offseason which included spring ball in May
and then summer workouts.
In thespring, wewereableto identify
somenew starters, and kids that will beable
to provide depth and in the summer we
continued to gain strength to build toward a
strong football team, Ford said.
Another reason why theBulldogs feel
good about arun at district and statehonors
is theexperiencetheteambrings back.
We have a tremendous amount of
experience, kids that have been in the fre,

Oneof thebiggest improvements to the
teammay very well betheoffensiveline. On
an experienced team, theoffensivelinefor
theBulldogs may bethemost experienced.
I think the biggest improvement the
teamwill seeis theoffensiveline. I think
well be really good at the offensive line
which hasnt been the case the previous
three years, Ford said, as he cited about
six or seven players who return that either
started or played a lot in 2012.
This offensive line should help two
time 19-4A Most Valuable Player Aaron
Sharp have another great year. In 2012,
Sharp racked up over 3,000 yards and 38
touchdowns.
The quarterback is going to have to
exhibit leadership by nature. Aaron does an
outstanding job for us and being that coach
off the feld for us, Ford said.
Meanwhile, at Kingwood Park, head
coach JimHolley is pleased with how the
summer went for the 2013 Panthers, as they
began practicelast Monday.

shown alot of hustle, alot of conditioning,
and it speaks alot to how theyveworked out
this summer, Holley said.
However, Holley said one of the
challenges for the Panthers would be to
answer some question marks coming into
this season.
I think theres still a lot of question
marks, I think I use the word puzzle
sometimes, but by theend of camp wehope
to have the pieces ft a bit more, Holley
said. He did note some personnel such as
all around player Caleb Lewallen, tight end
Jordan Feuerbacher and others who have
shown leadership qualities.
Holley also said that theplayers haveto
fgure out what their role is and the players
haveto executetheir roles for thePanthers
to succeed this year. ThePanthers, likethe
Bulldogs, return 13 starters this year.
In Humble, theWildcats head into the
second year of head coach Charles Wests
tenure. The Wildcats return nine starters
from a team that went 2-8 in 2012 and 2-6
in district play. Amongst thekey players for
the Wildcats will be Niguel Williams and
running back Deneric Gibson.

THE TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS WEDNESDAY, AUgUST 14, 2013
During 28 years in
business, Kingwood Photo
Lab has seen customers
ranging from local friendly
faces to out-of-towners
to celebrities to former
presidents.
Weve had a lot of
famous people come in
over the years, said owner
Steve Khalaf. Nowadays
its mostly through email,
but we get commercial work
from individuals and from
groups like the Texans and
Rockets.
Khalaf has titled one of
the stores walls the Wall
of Fame, which is adorned
with photos of famous
fgures that Kingwood Photo
Lab has worked with over
the years. Celebrities who
show up on the wall include
George Foreman, George
H.W. Bush, the Houston
Rockets and Texans, and
Power Rangers star J ason
David Frank. Khalaf prides
his business on the wide
array of customers it brings
in, who Khalaf says regularly
come in from as far as
Beaumont, The Woodlands
and Nacogdoches.
A lot of people say
the business is dying out,
said Khalaf. Were one
of the last businesses that
does both flm and digital
photo work in Houston. My
business comes from the fact
that people hear about my
work and they know I do a
good job. If its not good, I
dont want to give it to the
customer.
Khalaf says his business
offers a wide variety of
service for both flm and
digital photo processing, and
that Kingwood Photo Lab
will never turn a customer
down, and can handle photos
in any format.
We process everything
in-house. We handle flm,
digital photos, we have the
equipment to burn photos
and videos onto DVDs, said
Khalaf. We can even print
your cell phone photos as
full-sized prints, something
people have told me in the
past they havent bothered
with or have trouble doing.
The Khalaf family is
well known and respected
in the community. Khalaf
has also been maintaining
himself and his business
as an acting and giving
part of the community.
Khalaf is an active
member of the Kingwood
Chamber of Commerce,
participating in many of
its community functions,
and offering services
to local organizations.
Such examples include
student organizations
from Kingwood High
School, performances at
the Kingwood Theatre, or
even senior citizens putting
together a genealogy
scrapbook.

BACTERIA in Lake Houston at high levels
The TCEQ intends to
bring E. coli levels in the
water down to the rivers
Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL), or the amount that
the TCEQ and Environmental
Protection Agency have
determined is an acceptable
level for that particular body
of water, which is 126 E. coli
colonies per 100 milliliters
of water. Out of the most
recent readings, the three
testing centers on the river
itself reported 158, 193 and
197, whereas the tests from
Lake Houston measured
255, and Crystal Creek came
in at 338.
The number were
shooting for is the amount
weve determined is safe for
recreational use, said project
manager Todd Running.
At the current amount,
theres an increased risk of
gastrointestinal disease if
the water gets ingested, but
thats largely a concern for
people with weaker immune
systems, such as elderly or
younger people or those with
a specifc illness. Another
person might just get a
stomach ache or may not
even be affected. J ust dont
go in the water with open
wounds or cuts and wash
your hands after coming out
of the water. If youre careful
youre probably going to be
OK.
The TCEQ will handle
technical data concerning the
project and, at the same time,
hold town-hall-style public
meetings. These meetings
have not been scheduled yet,
but it was emphasized that
the process will take several
months.
Through the meetings,
the TCEQ will form what
it defnes as a diverse and
representative group of
stakeholders who will be
in charge of deciding which
of the suggestions from
the public and from TCEQ
and the Environmental
Protection Agency, will be
enacted. The plan formed
by the stakeholder group
is referred to by TCEQ as
a Formal Implementation
Plan, or I-Plan.
The plan is designed to
implement measures in the
community, decided on by
TCEQ and the stakeholders,
to bring pollution levels
down to the TMDL. This
may include new measures
being passed by local
government agencies,
encouraging citizens to adopt
new practices to reduce their
impact on the water or stricter
control on runoff from water
treatment facilities. The
initial step is whether the
area will formulate its own I-
Plan, or whether it will adopt
an existing I-Plan formed by
the Bacteria Implementation
Group, which governs much
of the surrounding area.
Both options are scheduled
to be discussed at the coming
meetings.
This isnt something
thats solved strictly by
cities or counties or other
government entities, said
Running. There are things
we can all do, such as
maintaining septic systems,
picking up after your pets, or
keeping cattle out of bodies
of water. Its something
everyone can contribute
to.
this week, according to Harris County
court records.
Kingwood resident Taylor Lee
McClain, 43, was dismissed of felony
sexual assault of a child charges
as well as one count of possession
of child pornography J uly 29 after
agreeing to plead guilty to another
child pornography charge, court records
show. The child pornography McClain
has been convicted of possessing were
pictures stored on his cell phone sent
by the 16-year-old female student he
allegedly had sex with in the backseat of
his car in October.
Humble Independent School District
police began investigating McClain
after a 15-year-old female student told
an offcer that she witnessed a classmate
and McClain engage in multiple sexual
acts in his car one evening around
last Halloween, court records state.
According to the charging instrument,
McClain and the two female students
drove froma tennis fundraiser at Walden
on Lake Houston Golf & Country Club
to Phobia Haunted House on Highway
290 on the night of Oct. 20.
The 15-year-old witness sat in the
backseat while McClain drove and the
16-year-old victim rode in the front
passenger seat. The witness stated that
McClain and her classmate were drinking
Smirnoff Ice alcoholic beverages
during the drive, and according to the
complaint, the 16-year-old performed
oral copulation on McClain.
After the haunted house and before
the three got back into the vehicle, the
witness stated that she received a text
message from her classmate asking
if she wanted to join in on a sexual
threesome, court documents state.
The witness said she responded via text
message, No.
According to the complaint, the three
then drove back toward Atascocita and
when they arrived at the front entrance
of the witnesss neighborhood, McClain
stopped the car, got in the backseat with
the victimand asked the witness to drive
his car. While the 15-year-old witness
drove the car around her neighborhood,
she told police she heard sounds of
[McClain] and [the victim] having sex in
the back seat and that she did not want
to see themin the act. At some point,
the witness asked McClain if he could
adjust the steering wheel for her to make
it easier for her to drive the car. McClain
replied that it would be awkward for
himto do so because his pants were off,
court records state.
The witness arrived home around
12:30 a.m., and later that night, the
complaint states, the victim sent the
witness a screen shot via iPhone of a
text message conversation she had with
the coach in reference to the witnesss
refusal of joining intercourse. Court
documents state that the screen shot
showed McClain told the victim, that
was disappointing, and the victim
responded in text, I know she doesnt
know what shes missing. You really
know how to please a woman.
According to police, the witness said
her classmate sent nude photographs
of herself to McClain by email and
cell phone fromat least September to
November and that McClain sent the
victim photographs of himself in his
underwear.
Upon hearing this information, the
complaint states that Humble ISD police
obtained McClains cell phone Nov. 6
and got a warrant to search the phones
content Nov. 14. A computer forensic
examiner with the Harris County District
Attorneys Offce found approximately
20 images on McClains phone of a nude
child under 18 years old, later identifed
as the victim, court documents show.

MCCLAIN takes plea bargain
must vacate the premises by Sept. 26. All of the animals kept
and cared for must be relocated along with all of the support
equipment, food and supplies that are required for the animals
while homes can be found for them
I ama single mother with 80 children and we have just lost
our home. Our home includes 60 cats and 20 dogs at the present
time. I work with a group of passionate volunteers and a team
of animal enthusiasts. We have been tending to stray, abused
and neglected cats and dogs in the Kingwood and surrounding
community for over 25 years. During that time, we have proudly
placed 7,000 cats and 5,000 dogs in permanent homes through
contacts, social media, PetSmart adoption days and various
programs, VAP Director Shirley Walsh said. VAP is the only
no kill shelter in the area which means they do not put down
animals if they are unable to fnd a home for them. VAP is also
active with Atascocita High School students through their social
action classes and by a judge in Humble who assigns kids to
work at VAP as part of their community service requirements.
At frst Walsh thought they would have to frst fnd a place to
relocate to and then fgure out how to make the move. However
an anonymous individual has come forth to provide a location
near Kingwood with a large, open, industrial metal building.
He came to our rescue, Walsh said. She explained it is no
longer a question of where to locate but what to do in order to
move.
The challenge now is it is not set up for us. It is currently
a shell of a building that was used for cars. It is a big metal
building with a big garage door. Were going to have to go
in there and build kennels and rooms for these animals, she
said and explained she meant they are going to have to get
sheetrock and building materials to build out the various rooms,
enclosures, shelves, kennels and storage areas that are needed
for VAP to operate.
We need to raise enough money to make the move, buy
a refrigerator, and, using money or donations, obtain the
materials such as sheetrock, cedar fencing, cyclone fencing and
even volunteer labor to put it all together, said Walsh.
Even though VAP now has anew location, thereis atremendous
amount of planning and work to bedoneby Sept. 26.
We need the communitys help. VAP is a 501(c)3 nonproft
... We are in extreme need and on behalf of the four-legged
children I love, I hope that the community will support our move.
Your donation will be really appreciated. Walsh said. Money
donations can be sent to Volunteers for Animal Protection, P.O.
Box 5266, Kingwood, TX 77325. Questions and information
about VAP and any material or labor donations can be arranged
by contacting Shirley Walsh at phone number 281 358-9818, or
by email to vap_shelter@yahoo.com.

Its an exciting time to
be a staff or volunteer here.
Its a beautiful time when we
can all join together to serve
our community, she said.
On an annual basis,
HAAM is able to provide
backpacks for the 140
elementary students who
register with them, but this
year was a little different.
Thanks to the effort provided
by Kings Trails NCL,
HAAM had 400, fully-flled
backpacks donated and
delivered.
Cathy Schrof, HAAMs
volunteer coordinator, said,
Usually we get 50-75
backpacks, but its not enough
for a whole grade level. This
time, because we received so
many, we were able to provide
backpacks for the high school
students as well.
In addition to equipping
in-need Humble ISD students
for school, HAAM is able to
assist families in achieving
economic independence.
A lot of our families
are hard working families,
but they cant make the
ends meet. They are putting
forth the effort, but the price
of everything keeps going
up, said Kristen Griffth,
HAAMs client services
manager.
To address that issue,
HAAM is providing fnancial
literacy classes every other
week. The fnancial literacy
classes teach a variety of
things, from credit, to how
to save, and how to spend
wisely. HAAM welcomes
anyone to attend.
Griffth added, We also
have fnical mentors who
can sit down with them on
a one-on-one basis to help
create a budget together, and
then we partner them with
our job center coordinator
who can help create a better
resume, or get job leads- or
maybe they want to be an
CNA and we can help them
to go to school. The goal
is self-suffciency. We are
willing to help them on an
ongoing basis, but our goal
is to get them to the point
that they do not need our
help.
HAAMs next big
initiative will be the Seasons
of Sharing starting in October.
They will provide extra food
for Thanksgiving as well
as for Christmas. And, at
Christmas, they will also
provide toys for the children
through the Empty Stocking
Program.

Area residents who are
experienced photographers
or who are looking to hone
budding photography skills
are invited to attend a monthly
meeting of the Kingwood
Photo Club. Meetings are
held on the third Monday of
each month at 6:30 p.m. at
Kingwood United Methodist
Church. The next meeting
will be held Monday, August
19.
Monthly meetings
typically include a speaker
followed by refreshments
and a share and learn
session. According to Leon
Guinn, president of the
KPC. Speakers are typically
photography professionals
or club members, and
topics include discussions
of equipment (fxed, prime,
zoomlenses, HDR) or how-
tos (elements of the camera,
composition, exposure, how
to pack light for vacation
photos).
During the share and
learn segment, club member
photos are projected on a
large screen and reviewed.
Seeing other peoples
pictures provides inspiration
to go out and take pictures.
Share and learn is to
encourage people to get out
and use their cameras and
to maintain their interest in
photography, noted Guinn.
In August, the group is
wrapping up an A-Z project,
during which members have
been encouraged to fnd items
to photograph that start with
various letters of the alphabet.
For August, the suggested
assignment is items that start
with the letter Y or Z.
In addition to the monthly
meetings, the group also goes
on periodic feld trips. The
next outing, to Glenwood
Cemetery, is scheduled
for Aug. 24. The cemetery,
one mile west of downtown
Houston, opened in 1871 and
includes, among the rolling
landscape, the graves of
many notable Houstonians,
including Howard Hughes,
and Humble Oil co-founders
R.L. Blaffer and W.S. Farish.
Some of the past feld trips
have focused on birding
(High Island) or nature
(Mercer Arboretum).
Members have beneftted
from participation in the
club.
I think my photography
has advanced by leaps and
bounds, said Nancy J o Derby,
public relations coordinator
for KPC. Ive learned how
to use my camera and how
to do post processing editing
and, Ive got some really neat
people that I get together with
on a monthly basis to share
pictures with. Its probably
the most fun thing I amdoing
right now.
The club has been
around for quite a few years,
established approximately
nine years ago.
We have more than 90
members and the average
age is probably 45-plus, but
we have teenage members,
pre-teen members and some
people in their 20s and 30s
too, said Guinn.
Interested individuals
may join
the club
for an
a n n u a l
fee of $12 for
an individual or $18 for
a family. Examples of
member photos submitted,
suggested local photo
opportunity locations and
additional information is
available at kwphotoclub.

THE TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS WEDNESDAY, AUgUST 14, 2013
I guess you can paint your
houseany color you want! were
the words of frustration froma
Kingwood homeowner when
shetalked to The Tribune about
a bright orangehouse, which she
considers in clear violation of the
architectural control rules that
apply to all homes in Kingwood.
She went on with her
complaint about who was to
blamefor allowing it to happen.
I mean, that is ridiculous.
And why the association has
not taken any action what are
they good for besides taking our
money and telling us our trash
cans are in the wrong place! It
should be repainted by now;
that house is an eyesore, she
exclaimed.
The Tribune tried to
determine if any complaints
had been formally presented
to the North Woodland Hills
Community Association Board
of Directors, where the house
is located, by any of their
homeowners and also if the
homeowner of theorangehouse
had followed the established
procedures to submit proposed
paint and color changes for
approval by the Homeowners
Association (HOA).
If permission had not been
sought prior to painting or if
complaints had been made after
the house was painted, had
the HOA followed up with the
homeowner and resolved the
situation?
The results of the
investigation confrmed the
following:
1. All homes in Kingwood
are governed by architectural
restrictions and covenants that
arelegally agreed to as part of the
closing process when peoplebuy
their homes. Although they vary
in small respects from village
to village, they all establish that
improvements such as driveways,
exterior painting, roomadditions,
etc. must beapproved in advance
by the applicable HOA. The
Kingwood HOAs maintain their
web pages on the Kingwood
Service Association web site
kingwoodserviceassociation.org.
The specifc forms and
instructions can be downloaded
fromtheHOA web sitein most
cases. Otherwise, homeowners
can obtain theforms by contacting
the service management
company used by their respective
associations.
When professional painting
contractors paint thehomes, they
often go through this process on
behalf of thehomeowner but it is
thehomeowner who is ultimately
responsible. Decisions areusually
made routinely and quickly,
but if therequest is not acted on
by theHOA within 30 days, it is
considered approved.
2. Any complaints
homeowners make to their
HOA about non-compliance
is confdential between the
homeowner making thecomplaint
and the association. Likewise,
thehomeowner against whoma
complaint is madeis protected by
law with the same confdentiality.
Therefore, by law, no onein the
HOA, its managing services
company or the Kingwood
ServiceAssociation can divulge
any information about any
complaint that may be in the
process of being resolved. As a
result theHOA may beworking
on any number of complaints
but is unable to even say they
are doing so about any specifc
situation if asked by the public
including other Kingwood
homeowners.
As a result it can be
frustrating for those who think
something is not being done
when it likely is becausethereis
no specifc information available
fromtheHOA.
As the president of one
of the Kingwood associations
explained, It can also be
frustrating for theboard members
when they cannot tell peoplewhat
thesituation is or why it is taking
so long to cometo resolution.
He also described how he
sometimes felt about alleged
violations in his own community.
I driveby thehouseor yard with
theproblemevery day and every
day I get mad and wonder when
its going to get fxed. And, every
day I make sure I complain to
thepresident of my homeowners
association and boy is that
frustrating, hesaid.
He would not talk about
any specifc details, but North
Woodland Hills Board President
Richard Marshall said, As
president, I am sure the board
is doing everything that it can
bedoing and should bedoing to
legally and properly resolvethese
kinds of situations in the best
interest of everyoneinvolved.
Hepointed out that theboard
members he has worked with
morethan 36 years in Kingwood
all taketheir voluntary and unpaid
jobs seriously.
They are homeowners
themselves in their
communities, he said, and
added that they have the same
interest in maintaining the
community in the best condition
possible and making sure that
general property values are not
needlessly depressed as a result
of improper compliance.
