Vision: That every child has a place to grow up and a sense of being home. Mission: Is to change the lives of children from families in crisis by loving and
nuturing them in a Christian environment, raising them to become self-sustaining and contributing adults.
Established in 1971, Boys and Girls Country is a 501 (c) (3) charitable home. 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.
Boys and Girls Country does not rely on federal or state grants for ongoing support and we are not a United Way member agency. Our funding and volunteer
support relies heavily on caring individuals, businesses, civic groups, churches and foundations in the community. We are committed to serving children who
need our Home and no child is turned away because their family cannot afford to pay.

- Manager & Coaches #2 Brad Mills – Manager
#31 Mike Barnett – Batting Coach
#26 Doug Brocail – Pitching Coach
#10 Bobby Meacham – First Base Coach
#35 Dave Clark – Third Base Coach
#13 Al Pedrique – Bench Coach
#6 Jamie Quirk – Bullpen Coach
- 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 fielding 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.

HEAD COACH – John Torchetti
- Hockey Lingo Back Check: To hinder an opponent heading toward and into the defending zone.
Blue Lines: The pair of one-foot wide blue lines which extend across the ice at a distance of 60 feet from each goal.
These lines break up the ice into attacking, neutral and defending zones.
Body Check: Use of the body on an opponent. It is legal when the opponent has possession of the puck or was the
last player to have touched it.
Butt-Ending: To hit an opponent with the end of the stick farthest from the blade. It is illegal and calls for a penalty.
Goal Crease: Area directly in front of the goaltender. It is four feet wide and eight feet long and marked off by red
lines. Offensive players who do not have possession of the puck may not enter.
Deke: To fake an opponent out of position.
Face Off: The dropping of the puck between one player from each team to begin or resume play.
Fore Check: To check an opponent in his end of the rink, preventing an offensive rush.
Freezing the Puck: To hold the puck against the boards with either the skate or stick to get a stoppage of play.
Goal Line: The red line which runs between the goal posts and extends in both directions to the side boards.
Goal Mouth: The area just in front of the goal and crease lines.
Hat Trick: The scoring of three or more goals by a player in one game. Roman Voloshenko became the
youngest Aero to ever score a hat trick in 2005 at 19 years old.
Icing: When a player shoots the puck from his side of the center red line past the opposition’s goal line.
Icing is an illegal way to advance the puck.
Offsides: A team is ruled offsides when a player fully crosses the attacking blue line before the puck
does. If the puck leaves the attack zone during an offensive play, then each player on the offensive
team must leave (clear)
the attack zone, before the puck can be re-entered on the attack.
One-timer: Hitting the puck directly upon receiving a pass. The offensive player takes his backswing
while the puck is on its way to him and tries to time his swing with the arrival of the puck.
Penalty Box: The area opposite the team benches where penalized players serve time.
Power Play: A power play occurs when a team has a one-man or two-man advantage because of an
opponent’s penalties.
Pulling the Goalie: Replacing the goalie with an extra skater in a high-risk attempt to tie the game. This
primarily occurs when a team trails, usually by one goal, late in the game.
Save: A shot blocked by the goaltender, which would have been a goal had it not been stopped.
Screened Shot: The goaltender’s view is blocked by players between him and the shooter.
Slap Shot: Hitting the puck with the blade of the stick after taking a full backswing.
Slot: The area immediately in front of the goal crease. It is from this zone that most goals are scored
and where the most furious activity takes place.
Splitting the Defense: The player with the puck attempts to squeeze between the opponent’s defensemen.
Stick Handling: To control the puck along the ice with the stick.
Top Shelf: Term used to describe when an offensive player shoots high in an attempt to beat the goalie by
shooting the puck into the top portion of the net.
Wraparound: A player skates around behind the opposing goal and attempts to wrap the puck around the
goal post and under the goalie.
Wrist Shot: Hitting the puck with the blade of the stick using a quick snap of the wrist rather than a full
back swing.

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 thers, 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,
understanding and humor make camping better

- QUICK TIPS Always Wear A Life Jacket
Avoid Alcohol
Be Especially Careful On Personal Watercrafts
Children Younger Than Age 13 Must Wear A Coast
Guard Approved Life Jacket While Underway
Enroll In A Boater Education Class
Don’t Overload Your Boat
Operate At A Safe Speed
Always Have A Passenger Serve As A Lookout
In Addition To The Operator
Watch Out For Low Water Areas Or Submerged Objects
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 kayak 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!

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.

Did you know....
• 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.
Reduce

products with recycle
d content.
• 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 items, wire hangers,
tin cans, steel cans, copy paper, computers, computer accessories, televisions, DVD’s,
CD’s, VHS tapes, concrete, glass, florist vases, plant containers, copy machines,
construction materials, paper products, cardboard, cell phones, toner cartridges,

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.
All parts of 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
58
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”
• Get an Emergency Supply Kit
• Have a “to-go bag” ready in case
you need to evacuate
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 news outlets or listen to
NOAA Weather Radio for the latest developments.
• 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.

Deciding to Stay or Go
59
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.
