LIFESTYLE LETTER

Giving Thanks

November 2022 PUBLISHER

Peggy Garner | peggy.garner@citylifestyle.com 346-268-7559 MANAGING EDITOR

In this season of giving thanks, we find ourselves reflecting on the blessings in our lives and considering who, and what makes our life meaningful. Remembering the importance of being present and enjoying the journey keeps us focused and fulfilled. It’s often the little things in life that I am thankful for the most. Playing cards, over coffee, with my husband. Introducing my sons to all the best movies—from the 90s, of course. Laughing with my parents over some of the full-circle moments of raising kids (most of these memories involve a smart-mouthed teen). As a mother of three sons (my oldest is thirteen, and the twins are eleven) I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity to homeschool them. When we were neck-deep in diapers and sleep-deprivation I couldn't always see the forest for the trees. When well-intentioned women would approach me at the grocery store, (when I felt like a walking circus with three toddlers in tow) to tell me “the days are long but the years are short” or “cherish these days.” I didn’t get it. Now I get it, and I am thankful for it. And of course, I’ve become the well-intentioned lady telling other moms to “cherish these days”! Our November issue is dedicated to stories of gratitude, gathering, and giving back to our community. We are so thankful for the residents and businesses who help make Cypress the vibrant community that it is. We are especially thankful for our advertising partners who help bring this magazine to your doorsteps each month. They are a fundamental part of our vision and purpose of bringing inspiring stories of the community directly to you. Blessings!

Compassionate Care with Homewatch CareGivers ARTICLE BY ERICA HERNANDEZ

Homewatch CareGivers offers kindness and service to those who need it

FAM ILY CA R E | HOM E SE RVI CE S

Sharan Sihota

Choosing a caregiver for your loved one is never an easy task. It can be overwhelming to sift through brochures or websites on your own looking for trustworthy people who can assist aging or injured loved ones live quality lives. That’s where Homewatch CareGivers can help. The in-home care provider offers high-quality, professional local caregivers you can trust. The company, which has been in business more than forty years, helps take the stress out of finding skilled caregivers to look after people with a variety of needs whether due to age, degenerative disorders, mobility issues, chronic conditions, or post-surgery recovery. “We provide homecare to preserve the safety, the independence and dignity of the clients,” says Sharan Sihota, owner of Homewatch CareGivers of Cypress. The local franchise serves clients in Cypress, Spring, Tomball and northwest Houston. Sharan’s team of compassionate caregivers provides a multitude of care levels to help with all parts of daily living. Some caregivers help with simple activities such as dressing, light housekeeping and mind-stimulating activities to keep people engaged, while other highly-trained caregivers offer specialized support for those with dementia or chronic illness such as Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, or multiple sclerosis. Caregivers can even aid people with more temporary needs such as recovering from childbirth or major surgery. While most clients choose long-term care options for aging parents or loved ones with special needs, Homewatch allows clients to book caregivers in smaller time commitments. Caregivers are available for around-the-clock support or for as little as one hour. They can stay overnight or drop in for just a few hours to relieve family caregivers who need to attend to their own health and wellbeing.

Homewatch takes a human approach to offering quality care. Employees are background checked, undergo drug and alcohol screening, and are continually trained throughout the year. They are then matched with clients based on skill set requirements, individual needs and interests. “We try to get to know everything about the client–what they like, what they dislike what makes them happy and what makes them sad,” Sharan says. “Our customized care plans are designed to not only to help them with their needs, but also to ensure their happiness and well-being.” Above all, choosing a compassionate service provider is something Sharan takes very seriously. She knows from her own experience caring for her husband’s aging parents that it takes an incredible amount of empathy and kindness to be a successful full-time caregiver. She looks for those same qualities in her staffers and makes it a requirement for anyone she brings on board. “I try to look for somebody who has the heart to do this job,” she says. “You have to be a people person. You have to have the compassion to support their needs.” As the needs of each person change, caregivers can adapt and keep family members informed. Homewatch CareGivers check vitals, help with bathing or dressing and distribute medications all while making sure family members stay aware of important daily happenings via an online portal with detailed visit notes. And while staying on top of your loved one’s ever-changing health needs can be complicated, finding quality care does not need to be with help from Homewatch CareGivers of Cypress.

TELGE ROOFING COMPLETES SECOND ROOF FOR VFW FACILITY Roy Campbell & Joshua Wilcox,

O UR TOWN | L IFE + CU LTURE

Giving Back to Our Veterans TELGE ROOFING When Roy Campbell got a call about the local Veterans of Foreign Wars post in desperate need of a new roof, he knew he wanted to help. The VFW Post 8905 buildings on Highway 290 are more than 50 years old and had roofs so leaky that veterans were getting water on their food during meal times. So when Roy, who owns Telge Roofing, saw the conditions firsthand he decided to donate two new roofs to help post leaders fulfill their mission of serving veterans. “I’ve been blessed,” says Roy. “They’re right here in our backyard and we’re glad we can bless them.” Telge Roofing recently completed the second of two roofing installations for the VFW this year. The first roof was an all-new shingle roof for a building that dates back to the 1940s. The shingles and building top were so rotted that workers had to strip the roofing down the rafters and replace decaying wood before installing brand new shingles from GAF, Telge Roofing’s premium roofing supplier. The second roof was for the VFW’s larger hall. Telge Roofing replaced a rusty 60-year-old roof with an attractive red standing seam metal roof. Both roofs are backed by a 50-year warranty from GAF.

The new roofs will allow the VFW to continue its dedication to local veterans and the community at large. The group offers regular steak dinners, member meetings and bingo games inside the facilities. Since the new roof installation, the post is now approved to serve as a Harris County emergency shelter. “The mission of doing more for veterans than any other organization is accomplished,” said Joshua Wilcox, post commander, in a video interview on Telge Roofing’s YouTube Channel. Roy’s decision to help install the new roofs fits with the values of Telge Roofing as a whole. The company believes in giving back to the community and treating customers like family. Telge Roofing has more than 45,000 customers and even earned a Two-Star Certified Presidential Status recognition from GAF for excellence in installation, reliability and service. As such, Telge Roofing represents the top half percent of roofers in the country, according to GAF. In the coming years, Roy hopes to earn the GAF’s Three-Star Certified Presidential Status, the highest level of distinction from GAF.

HISTORY OF THE CY-FAIR FIRE DEPARTMENT ARTICLE BY ARIANA HURTADO | PHOTOGRAPHY BY SHANNON RASKE - LUNALUX

BLAZING A TRAIL TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY FOR 60 YEARS!

A 1950s Cypress housewife is going about her day when the phone rings. Like many women in the area, her husband is a farmer, or perhaps a local businessman, but he is also a volunteer firefighter. Right now, he is urgently needed to help put out a fire. It’s up to her to find her husband and relay the message. Needless to say, response times weren't what they are today, but this was actually a significant improvement to previous response times when the Cypress area had to rely on the Jersey Village or Houston fire departments. Discussions to create a local fire department (which would later become the Fairbanks fire department) started in the late 1940s after a home was destroyed due to a long response time. “It came to a head when they had a house fire out here and it took twenty minutes for the first fire truck to show up,” Cy-Fair firefighter Dennis Fox said. “It probably had to come from Houston, and the house burned down. The first truck purchased by the Fairbanks Fire Department was only $125, “Even back in the 1960s, the guys were good with their hands and built their own trucks. They would buy a used truck, put a tank on it, put a pump on it, paint it red, and put out fires with it,” said Dennis. The Fairbanks Fire Department was chartered in 1952 and by 1961 the Cypress Fairbanks Fire Department and the Fairbanks Fire Department merged, creating the Cy-Fair Fire Department (CFFD). The Cy-Fair Fire Department was officially chartered in 1962. At this point, they were still fully operating on donations. A donation system was implemented where suggested donation amounts were based on property value. For

LOCA L LIM E LIGH T | PR OF E S S I ONAL S E RVI CE S

example, an owner of a $100,000 home was encouraged to donate about $5. Telephones were the main sources of communication for the department, and because the firefighters still depended on their wives to deliver messages to them, the department had phones located around town at residences and businesses to give the firefighters quick access to trucks and equipment allowing for faster response times. Firefighters began using two-way handheld radios in the 1960s and running base stations out of homes. One very special woman of note during this era is Mrs. Lucille Oliver who committed her time, and dedication to CFFD, and the community, by running a base station out of her home. Mrs. Oliver took calls all day, every day for an astounding ten years! At this point, CFFD had up to sixty-five members and five stations. By the early 1970s, the department received about 400 calls per year (still largely for grass fires) and had eleven trucks. In 1977 CFFD purchased the first ambulance, and in 1981 two-thirds of the calls CFFD received were EMS calls. By 1981 they ran four ambulances twenty-four hours a day. In the mid-1980s a funding agency was formed; the Rural Fire Prevention District (RFPD). Still maintaining a crucial role in the firefighting community, a full-size van was donated to the wives’ auxiliary by Texas Process Equipment. In 1990 Cy-Fair Fire Department went from an RFPD for funding to an ESD; Emergency Service District and Cy-Fair Fire Department remains an ESD to this day–ESD 9. Fast forward to 2015 and the CFFD made history with its all-female crew at Station 7 on Cypresswood Drive. At the time, four of

them were experienced firefighters within the department, and the fifth was about to graduate from cadet class. Current Cy-Fair Fire Department Chief Amy Ramon was a member of this all-female crew, but she says it’s not gender that makes an effective firefighter. “It has to do with the individual and the training you put in to do the job,” Ramon said. “Everyone has to prove themselves. Everyone in the crew depends on each other. If you don't or can't perform at the level necessary to do the job, you put everyone on that crew in jeopardy.” The ‘Founding Fathers’ (as Glenn, Dennis and Rick have come to refer to the men who started Cy-Fair Fire Department) unfortunately didn’t live to see what would become of what they started. “It blows my mind to see what they started and how much it’s grown!” said Dennis. But their legacy continues as CFFD celebrates 60 years this year. In 2019 Cy-Fair Fire Department made the change from a fully volunteer fire department by adding paid firefighters. Currently, CFFD covers 160 square miles, and as of 2020 has 283 volunteers and 344 employees with 13 stations, 13 engines, 2 ladders, 2 rescue units, and 15 medics all running twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, serving over 650,000 residents in its territory. To give a glimpse into what that kind of growth looks like, the annual call volume in the 1960s was 100 calls per year compared to last year’s call volume for 2021 was 37,469 calls!

“When I joined in 1990 as a volunteer, I had no idea that this would become a career for me,” Chief Ramon said. “I was looking for something fun and exciting to do. This department became my family. The passion I have for this career is because of the people in this department. It's not just work to me.” As for the next generation of firefighters, Ramon advises them not to become complacent and to listen to those that came before them. “Never stop training. Never stop learning,” she concluded. “Take pride in yourself, your crew, your station, your shift, and this department.” Glenn Gates, Dennis Fox, and Rick Corliss, all long-time Cy-Fair firefighters, have filled the roles of historians for CFFD. They’ve diligently collected vintage firefighting equipment, photographs, and newspaper clippings dating back to the late 1940s. It’s showcased at Station 11, but they are always looking for more information, photos, and memorabilia about the fire department that has served its community with heart, selflessness, and dedication. The department is specifically seeking pictures of four former Chiefs: Howard W. Staples, John Morgan, Stanley Hubbard, and Jack Fry. If anyone has old photos or stories relating to CFFD, please contact Rick Corliss at 281-550-6663 or rick.corliss@gmail.com so they can be added to the record of the rich history of Cy-Fair Fire Department.
