Booster Seat Makes Driver 12 Look Older
Fulshear Police said in a Facebook post an officer spotted the young driver Oct. 8 and pulled him over before he had traveled very far.
Police said the car belonged to a friend's mother and the boy used the booster seat "to appear older" while behind the wheel.
"If he had only added a fake mustache to go with the booster seat, we may have not noticed," police joked in the Facebook post.
Police said "no one was hurt" during the boy's joyride, but the incident was "scary just the same."
I t was unclear whether the boy was arrested or whether he will face charges stemming from the incident.

Drunk Driver Blames Dog for Driving
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said a deputy attempted a traffic stop shortly before 8 p.m. Oct. 7 on a white four-door vehicle seek speeding through a neighborhood.
The sheriff's office said the vehicle sped up while attempting a turn and ended up traveling through a ditch on the side of the road. The driver then over-corrected, swerved and ended up going through a ditch on the opposite side of the road before crashing into a house, investigators said.
The suspect, later identified as Reliford Cooper, fled on foot and a K9 unit soon found his t-shirt in front of a church.
A pastor from the church told a deputy that someone was hiding in the facility's bathroom. Churchgoers forced Cooper out, and he was placed under arrest.
"I wasn't driving that car." Cooper allegedly told deputies while he was being handcuffed. "Who was chasing me? You're slow as [expletive]!"
A deputy told Cooper he smelled of alcohol and marijuana, leading him to allegedly offer an explanation for the events.
"My dog was driving that car. I ran because I wanted to. You ain't gonna find no drugs or guns on me," Cooper allegedly said, before vomiting and complaining of a back injury.
Cooper was arrested on charges including DWI with property damage, aggravated fleeing, leaving the scene of a crash with property damage and resisting/obstructing an officer without violence. He was taken to Manatee Memorial hospital for examination and later transported to jail.
Conquer the last DIY craft frontier: concrete
"Concrete is an exciting, creativity-inspiring design material," says Fu-Tung Cheng, a pioneer in the integration of concrete into exterior and interior design applications, from outdoor water features to sculptural countertops. "Hobbyists and do-it-yourself decorators, however, may not realize the full potential of concrete."
Cheng, president of CHENG Concrete, partnered with concrete products maker Sakrete to create a new type of concrete that puts the full creative power of the material in the hands of virtually any DIYer. "Sure, concrete responds to any form you pour it into, but we wanted to create a material that can do that and respond to how you shape it with your hands, tooling or even found objects," Cheng says of the new product, ShapeCrete, which can be poured, rolled, pushed or molded to create custom concrete designs.
"We like to say ShapeCrete 'plays like clay and works like concrete'," says Eric Peterson, president of Sakrete of North America. ShapeCrete won Best Design Material honors during Dwell on Design 2015, an annual exhibit of current and future trends in architecture, interior design and landscaping. More than 32,000 people - including DIY designers and crafters - attended this year's event in Los Angeles.
If you're thinking about trying your hand at concrete design, here are five projects to liven up the interior and exterior of your home:
* Create a doorstop that will make visitors stop and stare. A 3/4-inch piece of Melamine-coated particle board, 2-inch thick piece of insulating foam or Styrofoam, some spray adhesive, a cutting tool and ShapeCrete are all you need to create an eye-catching, one-of-a-kind doorstop. Simply print out or draw the word "STOP" in large, bold letters, transfer to the foam, cut it out to create a mold, and pour the ShapeCrete into the mold.
* Concrete planters can be expensive if you buy them from a home and garden store. Making your own not only saves you money, but allows you to unleash your creativity and make planters in a variety of sizes, shapes and even colors. All you need to start are some plastic planters in the size of your choice. Add water to the concrete powder to achieve a clay-like consistency and press the concrete into the container to create the form. Or, you can create a unique draped planter by rolling out the concrete on a piece of round fabric and then draping the fabric inside a bowl, plastic planter or other container.
* Turn a large, fresh leaf into a one-of-a-kind dish. Simply create a bed of sand on a piece of cardboard or sheet of plastic, cover the sand with a plastic bag to keep the grains from sticking to the leaf, and lay the leaf on top of the plastic with the vein side up. Mix the concrete to a clay-like consistency and begin packing it onto the leaf, starting at the center and working your way out.
During the mixing process, you can add color to the concrete. You'll have 30 to 60 minutes of working time before the concrete begins to harden, and it will cure completely after 24 hours. You can find detailed instructions for these concrete projects and many more online at www.shapecrete.com.
"You don't have to have a shop or garage, or be a concrete expert to work with this product," Cheng says. "You can work off your kitchen table, depending on the project size. The grand reveal of what you're able to create after about a day or so is exhilarating. It doesn't matter what your skill set is, you'll surprise yourself every time, and that's really the best part."

October 16Speaker Series: Anita Collins, Ph.D. Lehigh Gap Nature CenterFriday, October 16, 7:00-8:00 PM
For over 100 years, twenty miles of the north side of the Kittatinny Ridge was denuded because of heavy metal and acid rain contamination from the NJ Zinc Company plant in Palmerton. Attempts to remediate that damage were unsuccessful until members of Lehigh Gap Nature Center proposed the use of native grasses to initiate restoration of soils and stabilization of the contaminants. Within a few years the effectiveness of this approach was evident. Now LGNC is the center of active recreation, education, conservation and research activity, almost all of it carried out by volunteers. Registration is required. |

Admission is free but registration requested by calling 588-4136 brunch is also available.
(BELOW IS A STORY THAT APPEARED IN THIS PAPER AUGUST 4, 2015) Bangor High graduate Karen (Shoemaker) Katchur has published The Secrets of Lake Road (Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Press) . Karen Katchur -- Official Author Website . In her book, Jo has been hiding the truth about her role in her high school boyfriend’s drowning for sixteen years. Every summer, she drops her children off with her mother at the lakeside community where she spent summers growing up, but cannot bear to stay herself; everything about the lake reminds her of the guilt she feels. For her daughter Caroline, however, the lake is a precious world apart; its familiarity and sameness comforts her every year despite the changes in her life outside its bounds. At twelve years old and caught between childhood and adolescence, she longs to win her mother’s love and doesn’t understand why Jo keeps running away. Then seven-year-old Sara Starr goes missing from the community beach. Rescue workers fail to uncover any sign of her—but instead dredge up the bones Jo hoped would never be discovered, shattering the quiet lakeside community’s tranquility. Caroline was one of the last people to see Sara alive on the beach, and feels responsible for her disappearance. She takes it upon herself to figure out what happened to the little girl. As Caroline searches for Sara, she uncovers the secrets her mother has been hiding, unraveling the very foundation of everything she knows about herself and her family in this riveting novel that is impossible to put down and hard to forget. Karen Katchur holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from West Chester University and a Masters of Education degree in Health and Physical Education from East Stroudsburg University. She lives in Eastern Pennsylvania with her husband and two children. She enjoys running and tennis and playing with her flat coat retriever puppy, Tucker and her cat, Carly.

Ask The Doc........
Technology can be wonderful!
garywilliamsdmd.com
I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
