The Willowlake HOA hosted it’s 1st Twilight Movie on Saturday night, June 21st. We were amazed to see so many residents turn out for the event. An estimated 150 – 200 people turned-out. The weather cooperated with us. We had rain that day, which fortu-nately cooled things off a bit and we had a nice breeze flowing through Willowlake Park while we were watching the movie “Frozen”. Residents volunteered to bring out and serve ice cream, popcorn, sodas, water and glow sticks for the kids. I think the consensus was, we MUST do this again! Thanks to everyone that helped out with the event and to all of those that attended. We hope everyone had a great time!

Volunteers Needed

All Ages Can Earn Cash By Helping Crime StoppersSince 1981, Crime Stoppers of Houston has oper-ated the famed tip line, 713-222-TIPS. Known as a world leader in crime prevention, the Crime Stoppers of Houston tip line program has paid over $10 million in cash rewards, solved over 30,000 felony cases, and arrested nearly 25,000 felony fugitives. Thanks to the generous contribu-tions from the Houston community, the reward program has grown, now offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the charging or arrest of felony suspects in Harris County.

Staffed by officers and investigators assigned to the Crime Stoppers Law Enforcement Task Force, the tip line program monitors and processes the citizen information Crime Stoppers is famed for collect-ing.

Officers from the Houston Police Department, the Harris County Sheriff ’s Office, the Pasadena Po-lice Department and the METRO Police Depart-ment are all detailed to work for the Crime Stop-pers Task Force. Each agency has joined forces with Crime Stoppers, donating the personnel vital to the operation of the tip line.

How do tipsters stay anonymous?Texas State Law protects the identity of Crime Stoppers tipsters. Crime Stoppers cannot know your identity or any identifying personal informa-tion. All callers are issued a unique Personal Iden-tification Number (PIN) that ties you to your tip.

Do tipsters really get paid in cash?Yes! If your information leads to the filing of felony charges, or the arrest of a felony fugitive, you

will be eligible for a cash reward.

What kind of crimes do you take tips on?Crime Stoppers offers up to $5,000 for informa-tion leading to the charging and arrest of felony of-fenders at large in the community. On certain mis-demeanors, the Crime Stoppers Board of Directors may consider reward payments. Crime Stoppers does not process narcotics related crime tips.

How can I report a tip?Download the Houston Crime Stoppers app in the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store and the Blackberry App World. Call 713-222-TIPS (8477). Text TIP610 plus your tip to CRIMES (274637).

Can students/kids report tips?Of course! Crime Stoppers is a tool used by stu-dents throughout Houston to keep their campuses safe!

Do I have to call Crime Stoppers directly or can I call the police and still get a reward?Only callers to Crime Stoppers are protected by Texas State Law and eligible for a cash reward.

Safety and Security Tips: Here are some quick security tips from SEAL Security:

Avoid Becoming a Victim of Auto Theft & BurglaryIn Texas, a vehicle is stolen every five minutes and burglarized every two and half minutes, accord-ing to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. Although vehicle theft can occur at any time dur-ing the year, July and August are the months where vehicle thefts occur most often, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In 2010, Texas was the third state with the highest number of stolen vehicles. 40 to 50 percent of vehicle thefts are due to driver errors with only 52 percent of vehicles being recovered. SEAL would like to offer a few tips to prevent vehicle theft and burglary.

Take Your Keys.Never leave your keys any-where in the car and never have a second set hidden somewhere in your ve-hicle. Experienced thieves know where people may hide their keys. It is never a good idea to leave your keys in the ignition, even for just a few minutes. Cars are often stolen from convenience stores, gas stations or when the driver leaves the vehicle run-ning.

Lock Your Car.Almost half of all stolen vehicles were left un-locked. Even if you’re leaving your car for a minute, lock doors and close windows. Make it a habit to check that doors and windows are locked and closed before departing from your vehicle. Keep your trunk and glove box locked at all times. If possible, get separate keys for the ignition, trunk and glove box.

Park in Well-Lit Areas.Thieves prefer unattended parking lots and dark

areas, because there less chances of there being no witnesses. Find an attended or well-lit lot, heavily trafficked area or a garage when running errands and going out.

Do Not Leave Items In Sight.Items left in the open may tempt thieves thus making your car a target. If you must leave items inside your car, hide them from sight or put them in the trunk.

Vehicle & Personal Documents.Avoid leaving vehicle and personal documents in your car. Carry these with you if you need them, otherwise personal and vehicle documents can be used by thieves to steal your identity, car or even burglarize your home.

Beware of Suspicious Persons.If you see someone who appears nervous, pulling vehicle door handles, looking in windows or bumping into vehicles (checking

for alarms) in the Willowlake community contact SEAL immediately at 713.422.2770. If it is out-side the Willowlake community notify law en-forcement immediately.

In the case that your vehicle is stolen, report it to the police immediately. Be ready to provide them with the vehicle year, make, model, color, vehicle identification number (VIN) and license plate number to increase chances of recovery. It is also important to let SEAL know when an incident like this occurs. Our officers can be on the lookout for stolen vehicle.

How does Crime Stoppers get the money to pay tips?Crime Stoppers of Houston is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Thanks to the generous con-tributions of private individuals, corporate donors and charitable foundations, Crime Stoppers has paid over $10,000,000 in cash rewards since 1981. What do I do if I have information on a crime that took place in another county or state?Contact Crime Stoppers of Houston. A member of our team will process your information and work alongside investigators from the appropriate jurisdiction.

What is the Safe School Program?Since 1997, Crime Stoppers of Houston has edu-cated students in middle and high school on crime prevention and safety on campus. Now, Crime Stoppers of Houston offers a comprehensive cur-riculum for elementary schools to build a genera-tion of citizens concerned for the safety of their community.

How can I get my school involved in the Safe School Program?

Teaching Teens about MoneyAs teenagers take on more responsibilities—part-time jobs, preparing for college—they’re also expe-riencing more financial freedom and the realities of managing money. You don’t need to cover all the financial bases at once. Talking to your teens about money is easiest if it’s an ongoing dialogue. Us-ing day-to-day activities as ‘teachable moments” is one way to engage them in a conversation and give them a practical lesson in money management.As a parent, by talking to your teens about money and finances you can help shape their attitudes about money and develop basic money manage-ment skills that they can use throughout their lives. Some of the money management basics to teach your teens, include:

• Establish financial goals. As a first step to finan-cial freedom, help your teens think through and establish their own financial goals. Short-term goals could include setting aside money to cover everyday expenses and entertainment or saving toward a vacation with friends. Long-term finan-cial goals might include planning to repay student loans or saving to buy a car.

• Develop a realistic budget. Once they’ve estab-lished financial goals, help them create a budget. Help them think through how much income they have (such as a part-time job, allowance, or baby-sitting pay) and how they have been spending that cash. Mapping out expenses and income will help show any gaps and will allow you to talk through spending priorities (wants vs. needs) and help them allocate their money properly, helping them learn how to keep control of their money and stay on track to meet financial goals.

• Prepare for the unexpected. As you’re working together to create a budget, be sure to talk about setting aside money for emergency situations or unexpected fees (like car problems or an unexpect-ed school expense).

• The value of balancing your checkbook. This is a great habit to develop early and one of the easiest ways to keep track of your finances and stay within your budget each month.

• Save, save, save. While it might be challenging for young people to put aside money in savings, this is an important habit to get into. Consider helping your teen set up a savings account and having deposits automatically transferred into the account on a regular basis (such as monthly, bi-monthly, or even weekly) to ensure that money goes directly to savings.

• Pay on time. Help your teen understand that paying bills on time is an important step toward establishing a good credit history. You might con-sider working together to set up online bill pay-ment options for recurring bills.

• Be smart about credit. Explain the importance of a good credit score and the importance of estab-lishing a good credit history. Look for ways to be-gin to establish a good credit history. If you decide that applying for a credit card or loan is a good start, remember that as the parent, you’ll likely be co-signer so it’s important that you discuss the value of credit and using it responsibly.

Giving Back to the CommunityThe Making of an Eagle

Willowlake resident Jose Flores started his ad-venture as a scout in the 3rd grade as a simple cub scout. When he graduated to the Boy Scouts of America, he always wanted to achieve the highest honor possible, to become an Eagle Scout. As he worked towards this goal, he developed leader-ship, tenacity, and patience when working with other people, as well as the tenets of the scout law. Noticing that the park next to the Willowlake pool had a lack of readily available seating next to the playground, he decided to make his eagle project, the culmination of his scouting career, to build benches to allow closer supervision of little children by parents, as well as plant trees to pro-

vide shade for that seating in the future. With this complete and his dream fulfilled, he now plans to attend the University of Texas at Austin and study mechanical engineering.

We Have a Playwright, an Actress and an Actor Living Amongst Us: Kris Gauger Thompson, Alex Thompson and Thomas Ward

Several years ago my youngest, Alex Thompson, was asked to join the cast of Theatre Suburbia’s Christmas show, Dear Santa. Although she had done theatre at school, this was her first commu-nity theatre production. A small role but it led to so many big changes for our family!

Alex started auditioning for and being cast in more productions at Theatre Suburbia and contin-ued to be cast in school productions at Cook Jr. High and at Jersey Village High School as well. Her older sister, Sarah Bircher, was also cast in

several Theatre Suburbia productions includ-ing the lead of Getting Sara Married before she moved to Austin. I, myself, became involved in stage managing, and eventually was asked to join the board of directors. I’ve served as the Public-ity Director for the past two years. So it’s really become a family affair for us!

Theatre Suburbia is an all-volunteer organization so while the pay is not great (none - ha!) it is such a rewarding experience making quality theatre available and affordable for our community and

Area Happenings, cont:

providing acting, directing, tech, and set design experience for those wanting to learn.

Alex has auditioned for and been cast in the last three summer meller drammers at Suburbia. The “Meller Drammer” is, of course, melodramatic, but it’s more than that as the audience participates by booing, hissing, and tossing popcorn at the vil-lain, as well as cheering the hero, and oohing and ahhing for the heroine. Last year she won the role of the heroine in Little Nell, The Orphan Girl. This summer she was once again lucky enough to be cast as the heroine, this time as Becky Trueheart, in the meller drammer Bad Medicine which runs July 18 - August 23. Fridays and Saturdays at 8:30 and we also have four Sunday matinees at 3:00 pm.

It’s a special thing for her to be in this production because (wait for it) I’m the playwright! What? Yup…Bad Medicine is my first full length produc-tion to hit the stage!

Two years ago I decided I wanted to write a script for the stage, which I did. I submitted Bad Medi-cine to Theatre Suburbia’s call for scripts. It was rejected. So, time for a rewrite! A year ago my husband, Lance Thompson, and I closed the busi

ness we ran for 14 years so that I could devote myself to becoming a playwright. It’s been a very exciting year for me, writing full time, submitting scripts to various theatres and contests etc…One of my short plays, Kitchen Conversations, was picked up by Pandora Theatre and featured in their Vox Fem production earlier this year. Such a thrill to see your story, your characters, your vision, come alive on stage.

I encourage everyone to come out and bring the kiddos and the grandparents to see Bad Medicine. The kids will have a blast, no doubt. But the adults will love it as well. Cute story, clever humor, ter-rific acting. You’ll most definitely be entertained!

This will be Thomas Ward’s 2nd Theatre Suburbia production. He was previously cast in ETHAN CLAY-MORE in 2012. Thomas can be seen in this ETHAN CLAYMORE publicity photo of cast and crew.
