This year’s cover was designed and created by local tattoo artist and freelance consignment artist, Joseph Schuester. 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. To obtain a print of the
original artwork, please feel free to contact Metropolitan Publishing at 281-351-6933.

Boys & Girls Country
Vision: That every child has a place to grow up and a sense of being home.
Mission: Is to change the lives of children from families in crisis by loving and nuturing them in a Christian environment, raising them to become self-sustaining and contributing adults.
Established in 1971, Boys and Girls Country is a 501 (c) (3) charitable home. Our children are primarily from the greater Houston area and our home has a capacity to serve 48 boys & 40 girls
ranging in age from 5-18. Boys and Girls Country provides a warm, loving, family-like Christian environment where kids have the opportunity to grow up safe and secure and develop to their
full potential. Residents live on campus and attend public schools. They also participate in outside activities such as band, church, sports, summer camps, etc. We have been home to over
1,200 children since 1971. Boys and Girls Country does not rely on federal or state grants for ongoing support and we are not a United Way member agency. Our funding and volunteer support
relies heavily on caring individuals, businesses, civic groups, churches and foundations in the community. We are committed to serving children who need our Home and no child is turned
away because their family cannot afford to pay.

hunting & fishing 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.

Did You Know?
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!

Why Should I Vote?
voter registration
We live in a democracy and the only way a democracy works is if its citizens,
young & old, are active participants. 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.

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

A Letter From
Metropolitan Publishing Company
In our effort to promote and support community recycling we are
proud to announce that we have joined forces with Shred Pro
Services, a local document shredding & recycling company. 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. Main, Tomball, Tx 77375

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.

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
