Accidental injury is the number one killer of America’s children, taking more lives than disease, violence, and suicide. Prevention is the cure. It’s estimated that by taking these and other simple precautions, almost all (90%) of these accidental injuries can be avoided. • Childproof your home. Look at every room as your child would. Ask

yourself what looks interesting and what can be reached. Get down on your hands and knees, and check for small things children can choke on.

• Use the back burners on stoves, and turn pot handles to the back. Keep children away from the stove or microwave when cooking, and don’t serve hot food or drinks to them.

• Keep knives, glasses, and scissors where young kids can’t reach them. • Cover electrical outlets that are not in use. • Keep guns locked, unloaded, and where kids can’t reach them. • Take precautions to avoid fire in the home. • Install smoke alarms on every level of your home and in every sleeping

area. Test them once a month. • Plan several ways to escape from each room if a fire starts. Practice the

fire escape plan with your family. Identify a safe place to meet outside. • Lock up matches, lighters, and gasoline. • Keep space heaters where kids can’t reach them and away from curtains,

beds, and papers. • Never put electrical cords under rugs • Always supervise children while they are in the bathroom, and follow

other important bathroom safety guidelines. • Keep the hot water heater at low-medium or less than 120 ̊Farenheit.

Mix hot and cold water in the bathtub, and test it on your forearm

before putting children into the tub. Never leave the room while they are bathing.

• Keep toilet lids closed and locked, and doors to bathrooms and utility rooms closed when not in use. Put razors, curling irons, and hair dryers out of reach.

• Avoid exposing children to potential poisons. Lock up potential poisons out of children’s reach, including cleaning supplies, pet food, medicine, vitamins, beer, wine, and liquor.

• Read labels and follow directions when giving medicine to children. • Know which houseplants are poisonous and keep them where children

can’t reach them. • Install carbon monoxide detectors in every sleeping area and test them

every month. • Make sure heating systems are vented outside and checked every year. • Prevent serious falls. • Keep furniture away from windows. Install guards or stops on windows

that are not emergency exits. • Install safety gates at the top and the bottom of stairs. • Never use baby walkers.• Keep emergency numbers by every telephone. Call 911 if a child is

choking, collapses, can’t breathe, or is having a seizure. If you suspect a child has been poisoned, call 1-800-222-1222.

• Keep first aid supplies on hand.For more information about preventing child injury, you can visit the

What is the Cypress Creek Greenway?

The Cypress Creek Greenway would be a continuous trail and park sys-tem located along Cypress Creek. It would extend nearly 40 miles from Spring Creek, north of Bush Intercontinental Airport, to west of U.S. Highway 290, providing new opportunities to walk, run, and bike.

Cypress Creek is an element of the Bayou Greenways Initiative, a coop-erative effort to create connected open space and trails along most of the major bayous and streams in the greater Houston area. Both local governments and civic groups are working together to bring this initia-tive to reality. There are still significant opportunities for guiding the Cypress Creek Greenway’s development — building community sup-port; funding its acquisition, construction, and operation; and identify-ing who will be in charge of the project.

How Can I Get Involved?

The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) and the Houston Parks Board are seeking ways to ad-vance the Cypress Creek Greenway and have be-gun the Cypress Creek Greenway Case Study. A consultant team is carrying out the Case Study and is seeking your input on issues such as:

• Do you support the Cypress Creek Greenway project in concept? Why or why not?

• What key features and amenities need to be part of the Greenway?

• What are the high-priority and high-opportunity locations along Cypress Creek to focus efforts in the near term?

• What are acceptable ways to fund the Green-way project?

• Who should eventually manage the project ?

There are several ways you can guide this process:

1. Attend a meeting held by the consultant team.

2. Visit the Cypress Creek Greenway Facebook page and take our survey.

3. Talk to your neighbors and friends about the Greenway and this Case Study.

The consultant team will be communicating with neighborhood and business groups in the Cypress Creek area from February through April 2013 to have a dialogue about these issues. Please come and share your thoughts!

How Would this Project Benefit Me?

Open space and trail projects can provide a range of meaningful bene-fits to communities, including:

Economic: Walking and biking trails are the #1 requested amenity in master-planned communities today, and adding this amenity along the corridor will boost home prices, invigorate neighborhoods, and increase competitiveness with newer developments in the region. Recreation: The Greenway would help residents access a variety of existing and planned parks along Cypress Creek. Health: Research shows that proximity to trails leads to increased physical activity, which helps fight increased incidence of several seri-ous diseases, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce obesity. Transportation: A connected trail system provides a safe and pleasant alternative to congested and dangerous streets and roads for traveling to destinations along the Cypress Creek corridor. Environment: In addition to the environmental benefits of alternative transportation, the project could help reduce flooding and erosion through new detention opportunities and improve water quality with appropriate plantings and reduced runoff.

KLEINWOODApril 20th Track Club

Registration for Middle and High School Athletes

The Northwest Flyers Track Club will host an orientation/registration session for all middle and high school athletes and their parents interested in joining for the 2013 season. The event will be held on Friday, April 12, from 7:00 – 8:30 PM at Cypress Creek High School, 9815 Grant Rd., Houston.

The Northwest Flyers is a youth (ages 6 -18) track organization, affiliated with USA Track & Field. The club provides a full program of “track” events such as sprints, hurdles, middle distance, distance and relays, and “field” events such as long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault, discus, shot put and javelin. It is an excellent “off-season” program for young athletes who currently compete on their middle school or high school track teams.

The club was founded 26 years ago by Olympic gold medalist Fred Newhouse to foster the development of youth track & field in the northwest Houston area. Last year, the Northwest Flyers sent 106 young athletes to compete at U.S. Junior Olympics National Championships in Baltimore, Maryland and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Visit the team website at http://www.northwestflyers.org for registration forms and information prior to the session, or contact Linette Roach at (281) 587-8442, or [email protected].
