Joseph was raised in the Houston area and graduated from Magnolia High School in 2006. Currently, you can find Joseph at Demon Ink Tattoo Studio where he specializes in custom design tattoo work. Joseph states, that the inspiration for the piece comes from having grown up in the area and reflecting on how “small town” the area once was, and how rapidly it’s growing. The piece expresses the development and expansion our local hometown has come to know and yet all the while, keeping the “Hometown with a Heart” philosophy. If you are interested in contacting Joseph, he can be reached by email at [email protected] or through the Demon Ink Facebook page.

GUIDE HUNTING GENERAL INFORMATION • Closed Season: For any species, the period of time, if any, when hunting that species is not permitted. • Responsible hunting provides unique challenges and rewards. However, the future of the sport depends on each hunter’s behavior and ethics. Therefore, as a hunter, I pledge to… • Respect the environment and wildlife. • Respect property and landowners. • Show consideration for nonhunters. • Hunt safely. • Know and obey the law. • Support wildlife and habitat conservation. • Pass on an ethical hunting tradition. • Strive to improve my outdoor skills and understanding of wildlife. • Hunt only with ethical hunters. By following these principles of conduct each time I go afield, I will give my best to the sport, the public, the environment and myself. The responsibility to hunt ethically is mine; the future of hunting depends on me. Hunter Orange: No hunter orange is required while hunting on private property, but it is recommended. Public hunting lands require 400 square inches of daylight florescent orange with 144 square inches appearing on both chest and back, and daylight florescent orange headwear must be worn. • Legal Shooting Hours for all Game Animals and Nonmigratory Game Birds: from one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset. For information on sunrise/sunset hours, please look at: http://www.sunrisesunset.com/usa/Texas.asp. • a hunter’s pledge Open Seasons: The open season includes both opening and closing dates and all days in between. Unless otherwise specified, the open season is a “general” season and all legal means may be used in taking the species. Where the open season is designated as “archery”, only legal archery equipment/crossbow as specified, may be used. Where the open season is designated as “muzzle-loader only”, only muzzleloaders as defined, may be used. When a season is as a “youth-only”, special regulations apply. • No open season for any wild animal, wild bird, or exotic animal on public roads or the right-of-way of public roads. • It is unlawful to possess a deer or any part of a deer that has been hit by a motor vehicle.

All persons under 17 years of age, whether Texas residents or non-residents, are exempt from license requirements. Texas residents who were born before January 1, 1931 are exempt from license requirements. Texas residents who are 65 years of age and older and who were born after January 1, 1931 may purchase a Senior Resident Fishing License. Please see the Outdoor Annual for additional information on age requirements and other exemptions. Outdoor Retailers FISHING TRIP CHECKlist 1. Wear comfortable, appropriate clothing. 2. Bring sunglasses, sun screen and hats for sun protection. 3. Bring insect repellent and insect bite salve. 4. Include a small first aid kit. 5. Bring enough appropriate tackle for each person fishing. 6. If you plan to eat your catch, bring a cooler or stringer. 7. Include bait that is easy to get and use – worms, grasshoppers, crickets, grubs, caterpillars. 8. Include “picnic” food that is fun, such as snacks, fruit, sandwiches, and fruit drinks or water. 9. If possible, fish near home so that the trip does not exhaust everyone before the fishing fun. 10. Bring and wear life preservers if necessary (as when fishing from a boat) as well as for small children or those wading or swimming. 11. Do not take too many children at any one time and make sure that a responsible adult is always watching the children.

Everyone should wear a life jacket when boating. Boaters often don’t have time to retrieve stowed life jackets during an emergency. Wearing a life jacket not only makes sense, but in many cases it’s the law. All recreational boats including canoes and kayaks must have one wearable U.S. Coast Guardapproved PFD or life jacket for each person on board. Babies, small children and non-swimmers should always wear a life jacket when near the water, not just when boating or swimming. It’s just common sense. Follow state law — and common sense — when it comes to wearing a life jacket! 33 art galleries Art Supplies Retailers Hobby Lobby www.hobbylobby.com 27706 Tomball Pkwy • Tomball 77375 281.255.6644 10955 FM 1960 W • Houston 77070 281.894.9798 26060 US 290 W • Cypress 77429 281.373.1070 501 Sawdust • Spring 77380 281.292.2382 Michael’s www.michaels.com 7630 FM 1960 W • Houston 77070 281.955.1260 20626 I-45 N • Spring 77373 281.353.5031 Texas Art Supply www.texasart.com 2001 Montrose Blvd • Houston 77006 713.526.5221 2237 S Voss • Houston 77057 713.780.0440 Anya Tish Gallery 4411 Montrose Blvd Houston 77006.................................713-524-2299 Apama Mackey Gallery 628 East 11th St Houston 77008..............................713-850-8527 Archway Gallery 2305 A Dunlavy Houston 77006............................................713-522-2409 Art League-Conroe 127 Simonton St Conroe 77001.......................................936-756-9572 Art League-Houston 1953 Montrose Blvd Houston 77006...........................713-523-9530 Art League-Tomball.......................................................................................................281-374-0160 Art League-Woodlands 25136 Grogans Park Dr The Woodlands 77380........281-419-1980 Barbara Davis Gallery 4411 Montrose Blvd Houston 77006.........................713-520-9200 Blaffer Gallery 120 Fine Arts Building Houston 77204....................................713-743-9521 Blossom Street Gallery 4809 Blossom St Houston 77007..............................713-869-1921 Booker-Lowe Gallery 4623 Feagan St Houston 77007...................................713-880-1541 Catherine Couturier Gallery 2635 Colquitt St Houston 77098.....................713-524-5070 Community Artist’s Collective 1413 Holman Houston 77004.....................713-523-1616 DaVinci Artists Gallery 315 West Main St Tomball 77375..............................281-516-9595 Dean Day Gallery 2639 Colquitt Street Houston 77098.................................713-520-1021 Desola Art & Frame Gallery 7770 Louetta Rd Spring 77379.........................281-370-6880 Devin Borden Hiram Butler Gallery 4520 Blossom St Houston 77007.....................713-863-7097 DiverseWorks 4102 Fannin St Ste 200 Houston 77004.................................713-223-8346 Gallery 3 2101 Winter St Houston 77007.............................................................713-501-0008 Gallery Off The Square 202 N Main Conroe 77301...........................................936-539-2993 Gallery Sonja Roesch 2309 Caroline St Houston 77004.................................713-659-5424 Galveston Arts Center 2501 Market St Galveston 77550...............................409-763-2403 Garden of the Dragonfly 318 Main St #F Spring 77373..................................281-528-7779 Goldesberry Gallery 2625 Colquitt St Houston 77098....................................713-528-0405 Gremillion & Co Fine Arts 2501 Sunset Blvd Houston 77005.......................713-522-2701 Harris Gallery 1100 Bissonnet St Houston 77005.............................................713-522-9116 Hooks-Epstein Gallery 2631 Colquitt St Houston 77098...............................713-522-0718 Houston Center for Photography 1441 W Alabama St Houston 77006..................713-529-4755 Inman Gallery 3901 S Main St Houston 77002..................................................713-526-7800 Jack Meier Gallery 2310 Bissonnet Houston 77005.........................................713-526-2983 Joan Wich & Co Gallery 4411 Montrose Blvd Houston 77006......................713-526-1551 Lawndale Art Center 4912 Main St Houston 77002.........................................713-528-5858 Mary Matteson-Parrish Art Gallery 3200 College Park Dr Bldg D Conroe 77384.......936-273-7000 McClain Gallery 2242 Richmond Ave Houston 77098....................................713-520-9988 McMurtrey Gallery 3508 Lake St Houston 77098.............................................713-523-8238 Meredith Long & Company 2323 San Felipe Houston 77019......................713-523-6671 Mixed Bag Gallery 1937 Norfolk St #

Voting is an opportunity to exercise one of the privileges of living in a democratic nation. Do you realize some of the most significant election issues oftentimes directly effect the youth of the country? The war in Iraq, the economy, education, employment & job training programs are just a few of the issues that effect your life today but think about the future and you can add environmental issues, fossil fuel consumption, farming & livestock funding and the list keeps growing. If you don’t vote, you are surrendering your power to have any say on how these issues play out. Also, by not voting, you are agreeing to “taxation without representation.” Don’t you want a say in how your tax dollars are spent? Not to mention, if you choose not to cast your vote, you really have no right to complain about political policies of the government. You are basically saying, you don’t care what your government does. If you don’t care, then why complain about something you don’t care about? But above all else, you should vote because you can. People all over the world fight & die for this right and it’s a gift that is yours for the taking. MONTGOMERY COUNTY Elections Admin - Suzie Harvey P.O.

Reuse containers and products; repair what is broken or give it to someone who can repair it. Recycle as much as possible, which includes buying products with recycled content. Did you know… • • • • • • The average American will throw away 600 times their adult weight within their lifetime, this is approximately 90,000 pounds of garbage. Americans throw away enough aluminum every 3 months to rebuild one commercial air fleet. The energy that it takes to replace the aluminum cans wasted in 2001 was equivalent to 16 million barrels of crude oil. Recycling 1 aluminum can save enough energy to run a TV set for 3 hours. 5 recycled plastic bottles make enough fiberfill to stuff a ski jacket. 1 ton of recycled paper uses; 64% less energy, 50% less water, 74% less air pollution, saves 17 trees & creates 5 times more jobs than one ton of paper products from virgin wood pulp. • Gas mileage drops 1% for every pound below the recommended tire inflation level. Reduction Tips Buy items, such as liquid detergent, in bulk or larger packaging. Buy products, like paper towels, that consist of a higher percentage of recycled material. Change from disposable to reusable - such as fabric napkins, glasses, permanent coffee filters. Use a battery charger. Keep your business local - such as farmers markets & co-ops. Buy only what you need versus buying multiple packages. Notify companies that send you unwanted catalogs to remove your name from their mailing lists. Reusing Tips Take reusable totes to the store instead of using store bags. Use plastic shopping bags as small garbage can liners. Start a “lend & borrow” program with your friends & family. Use newspapers, boxes, peanuts, bubble wrap & brown paper bags for wrapping & shipping packages. Use sheets, towels & blankets to pad items when moving instead of disposable packing supplies. Recycling Tips Recycle your #1 & #2 plastics, aluminum cans, motor oil, oil filters, anti-freeze, tires, radiators, freon, transmission fluid, appliances, automobiles, bicycles, books, boat batteries, CFL lightbulbs, hazardous waste, electronics, clothing, household items, wire hangers, tin cans, steel cans, copy paper, computers, computer accessories, televisions, DVD’s, CD’s, VHS tapes, concrete, glass, florist vases, plant containers, copy machines, construction materials, paper products, cardboard, cell phones, toner cartridges, ink cartridges, eyeglasses, alkaline batteries, household chemical waste, latex paint, ni-cad batteries, automobile batteries, rechargeable batteries, scrap metal, carpet, carpet padding, disposable cameras, magazines, junk mail, paper bags, moving boxes, newspapers, bubble wrap, styrofoam peanuts, plastic grocery bags, tennis shoes & of course THIS PHONE BOOK!!! 56 Ways To Save Energy & Money Local recycing centers • Set your A/C on 74 & your furnace on 68. • Use your ceiling fans - counter-clockwise in the summer & clockwise in the winter. • Use Energy Star appliances. • Use surge suppressor or unplug your stereos, DVD players, televisions, kitchen appliances & any other plugged-in appliances. • Replace your incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. • Empty the lint filter on your dryer after every use. • Use low-flow fixtures for your shower, toilets & faucets. • Replace faucets that drip, fix toilets that leak & turn off the spigot when brushing your teeth or scrubbing dishes. • Keep fireplace dampers shut when not in use. • Close the curtains at night to prevent heat loss. • Make sure you have adequate insulation in your attic. • Fill in & seal any holes in your exterior walls. Such as, areas where pipes come into your home and around doors & windows. • Replace your air conditioning/furnace filters quarterly or even monthly for peak efficiency. • Did you know that strategically placed trees can reduce your cooling costs up to 25%?

As an enduring commitment to help protect the environment & conserve resources we have implemented an in-house recycling program as well as a telephone directory recycling program. Some facts, our directories are 100% recyclable including the paper, glue, ink and coating. The paper we use to print our directories has a 40-60% recycled content. A common fallacy about phone books is that we save trees when we eliminate directories. The truth of the matter is, paper is made from the wood chips & pulp, which is the wasted portion of lumber. Did you know, recycled phone books are made into many useful products such as home insulation, animal bedding, bathroom tissue, cereal boxes, roofing shingles & of course, new phone books. Here’s how you can help... when you receive your new Metropolitan directory, bring us your old one. Our office is located at 220 W.

Online Resources www.earth911.com www.recyclenow.com www2.epa.gov/recycle hurricane safety Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Scientists can now predict hurricanes, but people who live in coastal communities should plan what they will do if they are told to evacuate. Saffir-Simpson Scale (Category) Step 1: Get A Kit / “To-Go Bag” 1 2 3 • Get an Emergency Supply Kit • Have a “to-go bag” ready in case you need to evacuate Step 2: Make a Plan • Make a Family Emergency Plan. Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to know how you will contact one another, how you will get back together and what you will do in case of an emergency. Your family’s plan should also include your pets as well. Step 3: Be Informed • A hurricane watch means a hurricane is possible in your area. Be prepared to evacuate. Monitor local radio and television new outlets or listen to NOAA Weather Radio for the latest developments. • A hurricane warning is when a hurricane is expected in your area. If local authorities advise you to evacuate, leave immediately. • Hurricanes are classified into five categories based on their wind speed, central pressure, and damage potential. Category Three and higher hurricanes are considered major hurricanes, though Categories One and Two are still extremely dangerous and warrant your full attention. • Hurricanes can produce widespread torrential rains. Floods are the deadly and destructive result. Slow moving storms and tropical storms tend to produce especially heavy rain. Flash flooding can occur due to intense rainfall. Flooding on rivers and streams may persist for several days or more after the storm. Minimal: Unanchored mobile homes, vegetation and signs. Wind: 74-95 MPH Flood: 4-5 ft. Moderate: All mobile homes, roofs, small crafts, flooding. Wind: 96-110 MPH Flood: 6-8 ft. Extensive: Small buildings, low-lying roads cut off. Wind: 111-129 MPH Flood: 9-12 ft. 4 Extreme: Roofs destroyed, trees down, roads cut off, mobile homes destroyed. Beach homes flooded. Wind: 130-156 MPH Flood: 13-18 ft. 5 Catastrophic: Most buildings destroyed. Vegetation destroyed. Major roads cut off. Homes flooded. Wind: More than 156 MPH Flood: Greater than 18 ft. important numbers & Contacts American Red Cross...............................................................800.733.2767 Greater Houston Chapter..................................................713.526.8300 Evacuation Assistance.......................................................................... 2-1-1 FEMA...........................................................................................800.621.3362 Harris County Emergency Management.......................713.881.3100 Metropolitan Transit Authority..........................................713.635.4000 Montgomery County Emergency Management........936.523.3900 National Flood Insurance Program..................................888.379.9531 National Weather Service....................................................281.337.5074 Salvation Army Greater Houston Area ...........................713.752.0677 Statewide Road Conditions................................................800.452.9292 Texas Department of Public Safety..................................512.424.2000 Texas Division of Emergency Management.................512.424.2208 United Way of Greater Houston........................................713.685.2300 58 Deciding to Stay or Go BASIC EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT Depending on your circumstances and the nature of the storm, the first important decision is whether you stay put or evacuate. You should understand and plan for both possibilities. Use common sense and available information, to determine if there is immediate danger. In any emergency, local authorities may or may not immediately be able to provide information on what is happening and what you should do. However, you should monitor TV or radio news reports for information or official instructions as they become available. If you’re specifically told to evacuate or seek medical treatment, do so immediately. Here are some questions to ask yourself when deciding whether or not you should evacuate. 1. Do you live in an evacuation area? 2. Are you able to care for yourself and/or your family in the event that your home is damaged and /or you have no power for an extended period of time? 3. Is your home safe? 4. Are you required to evacuate because of the type of home you live in? 5. Do you live in a low lying area? The most important thing during & after a hurricane is that you & your family are safe. Prepare Your Home • • • • • • • Cover all of your home’s windows with pre-cut ply wood or hurricane shutters Bring in all outdoor furniture, decorations, garbage cans and anything else that is not tied down. Keep all trees and shrubs well trimmed so they are more wind resistant. Secure your home by closing the blinds. Turn off utilities as instructed. Otherwise, turn the refrigerator thermostat to its coldest setting and keep its doors closed. Turn off propane tanks. Ensure a supply of water for sanitary purposes such as cleaning and flushing toilets. Fill the bathtub and other large containers with water. Prepare Your Business • Carefully assess how your company functions, both internally and externally, to determine which staff, materials, procedures and equipment are absolutely necessary to keep the business operating. • Identify operations critical to survival and recovery. • Plan what you will do if your building, plant or store is not accessible. 59 • Water - one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation • Food - at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food • Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries • Flashlight and extra batteries • First aid kit • Whistle to signal for help • Dust mask - to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place • Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation • Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities • Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food) • Local maps • Cell phone with chargers Additional Items • Prescription medications and glasses • Infant formula and diapers • Pet food and extra water for your pet • Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container • Cash or traveler’s checks and change • Emergency reference material such as a first aid book • Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person. • Complete change of clothing including a long sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes. • Household chlorine bleach and medicine dropper When diluted nine parts water to one part bleach, bleach can be used as a disinfectant.
