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
“small town” philosophy. If you are interested in contacting Joseph, he can be reached by email at [email protected] or through the Demon Ink Facebook page.

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 Guard-approved 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!

The Seven C’s of Camping
Care. We will care how we camp by being
considerate of others.
Caution. We will use caution in the use of
camping equipment both on the road and
at the campsite. We will handle fire and
flammable fuels so as not to endanger others
or ourselves. We will improve our camping
skills, knowing the right way is the safest way.
Courtesy. We will practice politeness because
it enhances the camping experience. We will
respect the privacy of others, control our
children and leash our dogs.
Cleanliness. We will be clean in our camping
habits and teach our children the importance
of cleanliness. We will pick up litter no matter
who left it and be proud of the campsites we
leave behind.
Cooperation. We will observe the letter and
spirit of camping regulations and rules
established to protect our enjoyment of the
outdoors. We will work cooperatively with
others to make it better for everyone.
Conservation. We will protect the
environment in which we enjoy camping
and help those whose job it is to guard and
wisely manage our country’s natural
resources. We will endeavor to leave a better
outdoors for those who follow us.
Common Sense. We will apply common
sense to every situation, knowing that reason,
and humor make camping better for
ourselves and others.

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.

Who needs a fishing license?
A fishing license is required of anyone who fishes in the public waters of Texas. This covers all the legal means and methods used for taking fish from rod and reel
to bow fishing. 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.

Operation Game Thief
Operation Game Thief is Texas’ wildlife
Crime Stoppers program, offering
rewards of up to $1,000.00 for information
leading to the arrest and conviction for a
wildlife crime. The program, a function of
the law enforcement division of Texas
Parks and Wildlife, is highly successful,
having been responsible for the payment
of over $195,000.00 in rewards. Privately
funded, the program is dependent on
financial support from the public through
the purchase of OGT memberships and
merchandise, donations, sponsorships,
and gifts.

voter registration
Why Should I Vote?
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

A Letter From
Metropolitan Publishing Company
Mail-in programs
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.
Step 1: Get A Kit / “To-Go Bag”
Saffir-Simpson Scale (Category)
• Get an Emergency Supply Kit
• Have a “to-go bag” ready in case you
need to evacuate
1
2
3
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.
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.
• 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.

BASIC EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT
Deciding to Stay or Go
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.
