Oak Forest pool company emphasizes water safety

Manning Pool Services, an Oak Forest-based pool company, has been repairing and maintaining swimming pools for the past 13 years. Owners Jeff and Susan Manning, Oak Forest residents and active members of the Greater Heights Chamber of Commerce, emphasize the importance of safety and precaution in swimming pools. Technology has helped swimming pool owners, as 85 percent of new swimming pools can be operated by an automated system with a program such as Intelliﬂow. Jeff Manning has been repairing and maintaining pools since 1983. In 2001, the couple started the company in their home, and it has since grown into a company with nine employees and two ofﬁces. Manning Pool Services is the No. 1 Pentair repair provider in Greater Houston and No. 2 in the state. Most of their business comes from customer referrals. There are 1.7 million swimming pools in the Greater Houston area, second per capita, only to Palm Springs, Calif. Pumping a pool 10-12 hours per day and maintaining a chlorine level of 3 ppm are important factors in maintaining a pool. The Mannings educate their customers with child safety products and services, such as “Katch A Kid,” which provides a safety net over the pool when it’s not in use and Infant Rescue Swim, a program that trains infants how to remain calm and safe in the water if they happen to jump in the pool.

The Mannings also recommend fencing around pools and swim lessons for people of all ages. All of Manning’s repairs and maintenance are in compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act, which was signed by President George W. Bush in 2007. Houston is a semi-tropical environment, so algae will grow quickly if a pool is not properly treated or maintained.

Quality Feed develops its own mix

Ken Cousino of Quality Feed developed his own mix, which he introduced to consumers at his North Main store this spring. (Submitted photo)

��

Longtime owner excited about its potential After years of selling commercial potting soils that he found unsatisfactory, Quality Feed & Garden Owner Ken Cousino found help and developed his own mix currently being introduced to consumers at his North Main feed store this spring. “Since I bought the feed store nearly 25 years ago, our store has offered inferior potting soils that were too heavy, too high in moisture retention, and too low on nutrition,” Cousino said. “For years, prior to potting our own plants for sale, I had to ask my employees to blend this and that ingredient to the available commercial potting soils to get a soil I was conﬁdent in using.” “In the Fall of 2013, I asked my friends at Nature’s Way Resources to help me develop a potting soil I could sell to customers with conﬁdence,” he said. Nature’s Way is recognized in the Houston area as a leader in producing mulches, soils and compost. “I discussed ingredients that I knew would make a superior potting soil, and with their help, I’ve developed an excellent product consumers will appreciate for seed starting, and container growing.” Two selections are offered named Ken’s Basic and Ken’s Enriched. The key word used to describe the new potting soil is “light” according to Cousino. Available in one cubic foot and two cubic feet bags, a primary ingredient in the mix is Perlite, a lightweight volcanic rock that provides Potting Soil,- excellent water retention, superior aeration, and outstanding drainage, keeping the soil from packing and helping maintain healthy plant roots. Reasonably priced and an excellent choice for the or-

ganic gardener, the basic mix is a simple potting soil that contains nutritive value but no added amendments. The enriched blend includes Greensand, Expanded Shale, and organic Microlife brand fertilizers to boost plant growth. Microlife is well known among organic gardeners in our city and was developed locally by San Jacinto Environmental. “The soil is taking Houston by storm with extremely positive feedback thus far,” said Cousino. “We’ve already run out of our ﬁrst batch and will be quadrupling the next shipment to ensure that our supply meets the growing demand.” “One customer said he thought the soil seemed so light that a large plant could get blown over in high winds,” Cousino said. “I recommended that he place more stones or pea gravel in the bottom of the pot before planting to weigh it down, and never rely on some cheap heavy potting soil as weight that only strangles the plant that has to live in it.” For nearly 90 years, Quality Feed & Garden has served Houstonians as a feed and garden store on its nearly twoacre North Main Street site in the Heights. The historic store proudly ranks as one of Houston’s oldest companies and one of the oldest Purina feed and garden stores in the United States. Quality Feed & Garden contributes to area high school agriculture programs and many area churches. The store also proudly assists the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), Houston Zoo, Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition, and gardening programs for the United Way, Target Hunger and Urban Harvest. -Submitted story

The Bayou City Art Festival Memorial Park is this weekend, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Friday through Sunday. A bonus for patrons this year is the addition of up to 150 artists, mostly local to Houston, to the roster. This gives an unprecedented oppor tunity to many Mitch Cohen H o u s t o n Arts Columnist artists. Getting there and back is easy. Free shuttles are provided from the downtown theatre district and Northwest Mall to and from the Memorial Park Festival site. This is actually a fun and a pretty smooth operation. Just remember your vehicle size when purchasing large pieces of art! Do I know anyone that got in? You bet I do. Here’s the list I compiled as of my Monday deadline: Anita Varadaraju, Adriana Whitney, Shanii Fry, April Murphy, Camille Ellington, Matthew Hyner, Amanda Armistead, Sheryl McDonald, Jimmy DMcDonald, Pen Morrison, Andy Gonzalez, Karen L Van Horn-Morgan, Paul Sanchez, Linda Wagner and Shae Skidmore. Not long ago, April Murphy, a Heights resident said this of her work to me: “I’ve been doing this for five years and I’d say in the last six months I have finally really hit my groove. It was a result of drawing/creating every single day. I’ve moved from just dogs/ cats to whimsy in general and as a result of that, I am starting to get into the big shows — finally!” What I like most about this festival is you can’t get lost. It is one big circle and from what I understand about the expansion for the additional artists, it will be a figure eight. In addition to the art, there will be more food, drink and activities too. Naturally, wear your best

A successful plan for Sprinkler System Installation A sprinkler system may be viewed in two very different ways: from the homeowner’s perspective and the other from the installer. The former has a simpler more pragmatic view — if the plants and lawn are being watered, that’s probably good enough. The contractor has a more technical view – not only does all plant material need to be watered, it must be watered uniformly and efﬁciently in a manner that promotes conservation. This junkyard of pipes, ﬁttings, valves, wires, sprinklers, and a controller, must all be masterfully assembled into the perfect watering system. Or is it? Think about this: 99% of the entire system is buried, you never see it. Most homeowners never see their system operate on a regular basis. The cycle is completed before most people have arisen. So how is one to know if the quality of the system they’re considering will be excellent, good, or garbage? Or even more importantly, why should you care? Reasons you might want to care: A poor design or inferior installation can cause you to use 50% to 75% more water than needed to keep plants and

lawn healthy. Over the life of the system this will easily exceed $10,000. Too much or too little water is a major cause of plant failure. Even if plants don’t die outright, disease and insects can invade, all started by improper watering. Plant replacement and insect and disease control are expensive. Water is a precious resource and we’ve been blessed abundantly in southeast Texas. We should be thankful and good stewards, using it wisely. Major revisions to existing sprinkler systems are costly. It’s much cheaper to do it right the ﬁrst time. As mentioned earlier, most homeowners will not see their systems operate regularly, and even if they did, they probably would not be qualiﬁed to determine the effectiveness or quality of the design simply by watching it operate. Many people think if an area is getting wet, the system is doing its job. Nothing could be further from the truth. The two biggest culprits: poor distribution uniformity and excessive pressure. So, if you would have trouble evaluating a system after it’s installed, how could

you be expected to properly evaluate the three or more proposals in front of you, before it’s installed? Here are some tips: Discuss sprinkler spacing with the representative. There should be “headto-head” placement of sprinklers. This means all sprinklers within a zone (area of coverage) should be spraying to the next sprinkler on the row and that sprinklers in one row spray to those in the next row. Planting beds often should be sprayed from two sides – from the back and from the front. Shrubs often interfere with the spray pattern. Discuss accommodations for plant growth. This is especially signiﬁcant if your plants are young. Ask what revisions will be needed in several years. Sprinkler height is important especially in beds with annual color. A four inch popup might function well if those snapdragons are new; but in several weeks you may be watering just the front row. A twelve inch sprinkler, although more expensive, would have been the proper choice. - Submitted story

Floor Gaps

Extremes in humidity and dryness in the environment cuases gaps

GAP Protection eliminates unattractive oﬀ-colour gaps.

Finishing process helps eliminate unsightly gaps in hardwood floors Did you know that the number one registered complaint hardwood flooring experts receive after a wood floor installation is the unsightly gaps between boards that magically appear at the onset of winter? The most common cause of gaps between the boards is Mother Nature. When the weather cools and the heating season begins, the relative level of humidity in our homes becomes too low, causing boards to lose their moisture and shrink. Meanwhile, when the wet and humid days of summer return, the boards expand once again. This regular seasonal expansion and contraction over time is the most common cause of gaps. Gaps can also occur when boards become too humid prior to installation, leaving them with internal moisture levels that are too high when installed. This problem may be caused by a very humid environment at the installation site (wet concrete, moist subfloor, fresh paint) or boards

exposed to rain or extreme humid conditions upon delivery and storage. The result is that the wood absorbs the moisture and expands before installation. Once installed and ambient conditions return to normal, the wood will lose its excess humidity and shrink, leaving a gap between each board. “Over time, and if left unchecked, humidity will cause gaps between floor boards of even the highest quality solid hardwood flooring,” explained Tom Gormley, President of Avant Guard Flooring. “Especially when consumers choose a stain color on lighter woods like Oak, Yellow Birch and Maple, even fine gaps will show unattractive lighter areas between some of the boards.” Though gaps were once considered a natural occurrence one had to accept when choosing wood flooring, Gormley explains there is now an innovation in gap protection available for consumers looking for the beauty and

eliminates any possible unattractive effects from gaps,” Gormley added. Along with the added benefit of contour guard protection, consumers can now customize and select their flooring choices at home by visiting the www.AGFlooringdirect.com site, which gives consumers access to premium high-end flooring they can custom design online. Their floors are then custom-made and shipped directly to their homes in the construction, species, grade, stain color and gloss level of their choosing.

elegance of quality prefinished hardwood floors without the unattractive off-color gaps that inevitably come with them. Avant Guard Hardwood Flooring, North America’s leading direct buy premium wood flooring manufacturer, has created the new standard in hardwood flooring protection. Called “Contour Guard,” it’s a unique patented contour finishing process that envelops each of its floorboards. With its exclusive gap protection, not only the top but the sides and ends of each precision-milled board are stained. “By doing so, you’re covered as the process virtually

Cleaning tips to get the grill ready for summer The weather is heating up and no matter whether you grill year-round or put the grill away for the winter, it’s always a good idea to clean it thoroughly once or twice a year. The grilling experts at Broil King offer some helpful advice to get your grill ready for the season. You will need: - Sturdy bristle brush - Grill cleaner - Toothpicks - Soap and water - Venturi brush Step 1 Remove all the cooking grids, grates and burners and use a sturdy bristle brush to remove the buildup of grease on the inside of the oven. Using a grill cleaner, scrub the inside and outside of the oven and then rinse with water. Never use oven cleaner on your grill. It is corrosive and can damage the other components. Step 2 Inspect the burners, making sure there are no holes rusted through any of the compo-

nents. If there are, it’s time for a replacement. Clean out any clogged burner ports using a toothpick, being careful not to damage the ports. Check all igniter contacts to ensure they are not corroded or loose and remove any debris from the electrode. Next, clean out the burner venturi tubes using a venturi brush. It’s very important to keep these tubes clean. Spiders love to make nests in these tubes, creating blockages that can cause serious damage. Step 3 Examine the heat medium. If you have a heat plate, remove any grease buildup and make sure there are no holes rusted through. If you have

briquettes make sure they aren’t crumbling and the pores aren’t clogged with grease. Step 4 Check the cooking grids and make sure no welds are broken and brush off any stuck-on residue. If you have cast iron cooking grids, season them with oil to help keep food from sticking and help prevent rust. Step 5 Inspect the gas hose to make sure there aren’t any cracks or leaks. This can easily be done by preparing a soapy solution and applying it to the connections at the tank and valve. Turn the tank on slowly and watch for bubbles to form,

which indicates that there is a leak. Try tightening the connections and re-test. If persistent leaking or blistering is detected, stop using your grill and replace the gas assembly. Finally, check the condition of your control knobs, thermometer, and handles. Replacing small items like this can refresh your grill and make it look new again.

laser is a device that focuses a beam of intense light that can reshape or remove tissue. Lasers have been used in the practice of dentistry for over 20 years, and can provide exceptional results for many dental procedures. The use of a laser has a number of benefits compared to traditional dental therapies. Procedures can be performed with incredible precision, oftentimes using minimal local anesthesia and having hastened healing times. Types of dental treatments lasers can be used in include: periodontal treatments to destroy disease causing bacteria, treatment of infections during root canal procedures, biopsies of suspicious areas for cancer screenings, alleviation of discomfort associated with canker sores or cold sores, and recontouring of the gingiva for esthetics in patients with a “gummy smile.” Your dentist can determine if a laser treatment may benefit you to provide the best results for your smile. Prepared as a public service to promote better dental health. From the ofﬁce of: Chase Baker, D.D.S., 3515 Ella Blvd., 713-682-4406.

MESSAGE OF THE WEEK

IN GOD’S PRESENCE

B

rother Lawrence was a seventeenth century Carmelite monk and author of the book “The Practice of the Presence of God.” He was fond of saying that we should “walk as in His presence,” i.e., that we should strive constantly to be in conversation and communion with God. Brother Lawrence was a simple man who was converted to holiness at the age of eighteen upon seeing the sight of a dry, leaess tree on a snowy midwinter’s day. The sight of the tree brought to mind the coming season of Spring and God’s providential hand. Brother Lawrence sought out a monastery after this conversion experience where he strove to live continuously in God’s presence. He wasn’t a particularly learned man, nor did he perform any great miracles or go on any great crusades, but he devoted himself to sanctifying the ordinary, everyday aspects of life. Indeed, Brother Lawrence worked in the kitchen of the monastery for most of his life and one of his favorite prayers was a prayer you could imagine yourself saying at the kitchen sink: “Lord of all pots and pans and things, make me a saint by getting meals and washing up the plates!” Would we not all live far better lives by walking continuously in God’s presence?
