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.

42 - Jackie Robinson 49 - Larry Dierker Retired Throughout Baseball in 1997 Retired By Astros in 2002 Baseball Basics: Stats 101 Batting Average (AVG): Divide the number of base hits by the total number of at bats. For example: If Hunter Pence has 600 at bats and has 206 hits. 206 / 600 = .343 His batting average is .343 Earned Run Average (ERA): Multiply the total number of earned runs by nine and divide the results by the total innings pitched. For Example: If Brett Myers has allowed 67 runs in 220 innings. Multiply 67 by 9. (67 x 9 = 603). Divide 603 by 220 (his innings pitched). 603 / 220 = 2.74... is his ERA. W-L Percentage: Divide the number of games won by the total number of decisions. For Example: If Wandy Rodriguez has a 16 - 3 record, Divide his win total (16) by his total number of decisions (16 + 3 = 19). 16 / 19 = 0.842... is his W-L Percentage. Slugging Percentage (SLG): Divide the total number of bases of all base hits by the total number of times at bat. For Example: If Carlos Lee has 282 total bases and 440 at bats. Divide 282 by 440. (282 / 440 = .641... is his SLG). On-Base Percentage (OBP): The total number of hits plus bases on balls plus hits by pitch divided by at bats plus bases on balls plus hit by pitch plus sacrifice flies. For Example: In Lance Berkman’s 434 at bats, he has 152 hits, 59 walks, has been hit by 9 pitches and he’s hit 6 sacrifice flies. Here is the formula to determine his OBP: (152 + 59 + 9) / (434 + 59 + 9 + 6) = 220 / 508 = .433... is his OBP. Fielding Average: Divide the total number of putouts and assists by the total number of putouts, assists and errors. For Example: Michael Bourn has 218 putouts and 290 assists while committing only 2 errors. His fielding percentage is determined as follows: (218 + 290) / (218 + 290 + 2) = 508 / 510 = .996... is his elding average. Magic Numbers: Determine the number of games yet to be played, add one then subtract the number of games ahead in the loss column of the standings from the closest opponent. For Example: Houston is 7 games ahead with 50 games remaining. So here’s Houston’s magic number: Games remaining (50) + 1 = 51. 51 - 7 = 44... is Houston’s magic number to clinch. 2011 AFC South Division Champions Congratulations Texans! 17 First Division Title In Team History!

The Richard E. Berry Educational Support Center (Berry Center) was funded by the 2001 Bond Referendum. This project was one of the nine schools and ve support facilities, the bond package that the community-led bond steering committee recommended by passing the bond election in December 2001. The Berry Center relieved the demand for facilities for district-wide sta development for teachers and sta ; graduation ceremonies; extra- and co-curricular activities, performances and competitions (choir, band, drama, UIL competitions, athletic events); and catering and banquets for honors, awards, and celebrations, as well as addressed community needs for meetings, events, and receptions. The Berry Center is available for non-district events such as concerts, busi- ness meetings, parties, and performances, subject to policies and guidelines for use of the facility. The 65-acre site that is also home to the district’s second athletic stadium is located at Barker Cypress and West Road. As a result of combining both facilities on the same site, the district realized a savings by sharing the parking lot. - Facts & Figures - • Seating Capacity: Athletic Stadium - 11,000 seats 2012 - 2013 Football Schedule Banquet Seating - up to 1000 seats Thu, 7p 10/4 Langham Creek vs Cy Falls

Responsible hunting provides unique challenges and 28 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.

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! - Online Art Resources - www.artinfo.com • www.artshound.com • www.fresharts.org 34 www.spacetaker.org • www.worldartantiques.com
