Residents adjacent to Dry Creek have complained for some time about the construction of a detention pond by the county and the effects it has had on their quality of life. The creek and the detention pondsareunsightlyandareusedregularlybyoff-roadvehicles.Inresponse to the residents’ concerns, MUD 365 decided to construct a split-rail fence around the pond next to Jarvis. This project is moving forward but due to circumstances beyond our control it is not moving as fast as we hoped. The fence will be completed as soon as the Jarvis

MUD 365 provided this sidewalk so the kids in Section 25 can now ride or walk to the controlled intersection at Barker Cypress and Coles Crossing Drive to get to Sampson Elementary and beyond.

Cypress Christian School Athletes Serve Those Affected by HurricaneThose who served included Coach Spenn, Coach van Pelt, Ron Hinn,

Scott and Becky Morgan, Ray Groll, Michelle and Bud Bennett, Jim Alldridge, Alan Reed, Helen Mitchell, Austin Barton, Ben Bennett, Ben Mitchell, Mason McCollum, Brandon Galloway, Cameron Kostak, Clark Alldridge, Clay Buhler, Garrett Higginbotham, Jack Mitchell, Jacob Reed , Jason Groll, Josh Rodriguez, Kyle Hinn, Ryan Morgan, and Scott Ordeneaux.

The administration and faculty of Cypress Community Christian School encourage students “to take their place in the world as servants of Jesus Christ” as stated in the school mission statement. As a result, many CCS students regularly take time out of their busy schedules to help others in need – whether it is local or far away – and each of them testify that their lives were changed as a result of helping someone else. ~George Buhler

On September, 20 several CCS varsity football players and parents got together to help people in the community who were affected by HurricaneIkeandcleanupthegroundsofCCS.ThegroupmetatCCS at in the morning, then split up into three groups and went to three different locations. In thefirst location, thegroupcompletelycleaned the frontand

back yards, blew debris off the roof, cut up large limbs and hauled them to the street, and bagged approximately 20 bags of pine needles and debris.

Another group went to the house of an elderly woman who had requested help because she was unable to clean up debris from HurricaneIke.WiththehelpofparentWesVanPeltandCCSstudentJosh Rodriguez, two trees were cut down – one that was partly on a storage shed and partly in the pool. The group also cleaned the roof of a covered patio of limbs and debris, and hauled large limbs and debris from the property to the road.

The last group went to a single mom’s house in Bear Creek. They pulled up and removed wet carpet, due to a hole in the roof, and hauled it to the street.

At CCS, a group hauled logs from trees lost during the hurricane to the street and stacked them. They were also able to clean up the front yard of the school.

HOUSTON – (Nov. 14, 2008) – The holiday season, also known as the “eating season,” is upon us, but you can take control one meal at a time, according to experts at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. “It all startswith breakfast,” saidMollyGee,a registered dietitian at BCM. “This is a great opportunity to set a healthier agenda for the day. Incorporatewholegrainsandreducethefatbyusinglow fat or skim milk.” For the rest of the day, it’s important to eat colorful foods to maximize health. A rainbow-colored assortment of foods may help get in more fruits and vegetables. “You have to treat each meal as a separate eating event,”saidGee.“It’snotoverifyoueatonesupersized meal, you simply have to balance out your next meals.” According to Gee, skipping a meal and putting yourself in the deprivation mode is a bad strategy. “There’s no need to punish yourself. You may end up overcompensating at your next meal and eating even more calories,” said Gee.

Food Is Not The Enemy This Holiday SeasonBaylor College of Medicine

One of the biggest temptations during the holiday season is eating out, but Gee offers some tips to enjoy your favorite restaurant foods as well. “One simple strategy is to ask for the sauce or gravy on the side

to cut out a few hundred calories or more,” said Gee. Control those large restaurant portions by asking for a to-go box to with the entrée, and putting half of the food aside immediately. Sharing an entree is a way to cut calories in half. “You can create your own customized dinner at a restaurant,” said Gee. “Pair up an appetizer with a soup or salad. Ask for the lunch portion even at dinnertime. Substitute the French fries that come with an entrée with the vegetable of the day.” Gee emphasizes taking control of your meals and making your requests known, but she also stresses that

this is not the time to be sedentary. Maintaining physical activity during the holiday season is a must. “It’snotjusttheenergyin,butalsotheenergyout,”saidGee.

Give the gift of experience.

My own family loves to travel and this year, our gift to our nine year old, is to travel to New York City for Christmas. He is excitedly anticipating ice skating in Rockefeller Center, visiting Macy’s Santa land, seeing the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular, walking through Central Park, visiting the Natural History Museum and riding the subway. Of course he will get a few small gifts to open on Christmas morning but when those toys are discarded for the next “big” thing, he will still have his memories of his trip to NYC.

Christmas is a wonderful time, full of joy, celebration, remembrance, love and family. But it is also a stressful time full of consumption, overindulginganddebt.Ihaveafewsuggestionsthatmighttakeabit of the stress and, in these hard economic times, debt from your shoulders so you can enjoy the holiday season for what it means to you and your family.

You don’t have to wait for the snow to start falling to get ready for ski season. Start your training now and you’ll be sailing past those other ski bums on your way down the mountain. Dusting the competition or showing off to friends are not the only reasons to get in shape before ski season. Skiing is an activity that requires a variety of skills: strength, endurance, balance and coordination. Hit the slopes without developing these skills and you may be in for more than a little embarrassment - you might even hurt yourself.Sports specific training Thisiswheresports-specifictrainingcomesin.Generallyspeaking,sports-specifictrainingprograms involve focusing on the various skills associated with a particular activity. Depending on the sport, this may include health-related fitness components such as cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength andendurance,andflexibility. A specific program may also take into accountskill-relatedmeasuresoffitnesssuchas agility, balance, coordination, power, speed and reaction time. Most sports require a mixture of these components. Skiing is a sport that relies heavily on skill-relatedfitness.Atraditionalfitnessprogram,whichincludes a combination of weight training and cardiovascular exercise, will only take you so far. A specific training program to develop specificskillsforskiingwilltakeyoufromthepeaks to the valleys in record time.

Get ready to ski There are several ways to begin a sports-specifictrainingprogram.Thesimplestwayisto include several new exercises in your regular workout schedule.

Get ready To Hit The Slopes

For example, performing wall sits that require you to ‘’sit’’ against a wall will help build up the isometric strength needed for the tuck position in skiing. Squats and lunges will build lower body strength for skiing tough terrain like moguls. Exercises such as crunches to work your abdominals are essential in creating a solid ‘’core’’ for balance and agility. Itisimportanttotrainyourbodytowithstandand absorb the impact associated with skiing. Plyometric movements, such as hopping from side to side, develop muscle power and strength as well as improve agility.Set up your own ski circuit A great way to integrate these elements into your existing routine is to create a circuit training program, which involves rapidly

moving from one exercise to the next. You can set up a circuit in any large room, or at your club’s aerobic studio. Be sure and place all of your stations before beginning your workout so you don’t have to stopinthemiddle.Setaspecifictimelimitforeach exercise, as well as a set period of breaks between each station. Thirty seconds of work followed by 30 seconds of rest are common interval periods. Then, simply turn up the music and make your way around the circuit. You might even want to create your own music tape with timed intervals of music for exercise and silence for rest periods. Try these stations to help you gear up for the slopes: use the slide for lateral training, perform one-legged squats to develop balance and strength, and use a step-bench platform to improve power. Try catching a bean bag as it drops off your forearm to improve reaction times or bounce two tennis balls to improve coordination. To improve agility, create your own slalomby runningbetween cones.

• Poor memory - Synapses in the brain slow down without adequate hydration.

• Weight management -When you are dehydrated your bodyreleases a hormone, aldosterone, which causes water retention.

IfyouaresufferingfromanyoftheaboveConditionsorSymptomsinstead of reaching for a big gulp, star bucks, or any of the other unnatural beverages we consume.... try drinking more natural clean water. Gradually increase the amount of water you drink each day and these symptoms may start to subside.
