APRIL IS NATIONAL LAWN AND GARDEN MONTH
By Trey Collier April is National Lawn and Garden month! This gives you a wonderful reason to get outside and get your backyard and garden ready. Whether you are starting from scratch or are an experienced pro, here are several tips that you can use to celebrate Lawn and Garden month in style! Consider Backyard Composting - Composting is nature’s process of recycling decomposed organic materials into a rich soil known as compost. Backyard composting is an acceleration of the process that occurs in nature. It is recycling at its finest! Use kitchen waste (such as food or paper towels), lawn clippings and wood chips to provide rich and powerful soil for your garden and lawn. Anything that was once living will decompose, giving you endless options for composting. Composting is good for your plants and for you! Adding organic materials to the soil improves moisture retention. It provides a balanced, slow-release source of nutrients that helps the soil hold nutrients long enough for plants to use them. Healthier plants means a healthier you! It will also save you money because you will no longer have to buy fertilizer. Add a compost bin to your garden and start today! Add a fountain - Outdoor fountains offer an easy and affordable way to add style to your lawn or garden. The soothing sound of running water will help to create a tranquil and relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Transform your garden into your own personal paradise! Consider adding variety - If you are fond of flower gardening, venture into edible vegetables! You will be thrilled with the sense of accomplishment you feel when you feed your family fresh, healthy produce that you grew on your own. Beans, squash, cucumbers, lettuce/greens, tomatoes, peppers, beets and garlic are all great vegetables to start with. They are relatively easy to maintain and will offer beautiful variety. If you are already growing your own vegetables, consider planting an eye catching flower garden (try marigold, lupine, daisy or wildflower mix seeds). Fruits are also a great option. Apples, figs, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are great for beginners. Variety is the spice of life! Go high-tech - Modern technology impacts our daily life. Why not let it impact your backyard? There are several innovations in outdoor living that you will wonder how you ever lived without. The Robomower will make mowing your lawn virtually effortless. No more back-breaking work and labor intensive afternoons spent cutting grass. You simply install special sensors around the perimeter of your yard and push a button. It doesn’t get much easier than that! Another product worth trying is the Mosquito Eliminator. Gone are the days of tacky bug zappers and pesky insects at parties. It is so beautiful that your guests will never guess that it is fighting mosquitoes and other pests. The Eliminator uses high-tech black light technology to cover up

Please email or phone them for the following types of issues and questions: neighborhood security, landscape maintenance, trash pickup (or lack thereof!), and concerns or questions that do not fall neatly into one of these categories. Also contact them to report any needed maintenance, repairs or deed violations.
(GT ESTATES) DEBRIS IN SEWER DRAINS
Please refrain from depositing any debris (lawn clippings, leaves, pet waste, motor oil, etc.) into the streets or storm drains. Disposing of debris in the street or other portions of the storm water drainage system can create problems. Flooding takes place when the system becomes blocked with debris. This can create a flooding potential that could result in property damage. The water quality is impacted if you’ve used chemicals on your lawn or garden. In addition, pet waste left on yards can contribute to contaminated run off. Grass clippings and leaves left in the storm water system contribute to system wear and can destroy the underground system. Please make sure you dispose of your lawn clippings, leaves and other debris in a proper manner.

If your home is monitored by a private security alarm system, please be sure to tell them you are in Green Trails Contract 50 with the Harris County Constable in Precinct 5. You must also have an Alarm Permit with the Harris County Sheriff’s office. The application can be found on the following website: www.hcso.hctx.net/forms/forms.asp
(GT ESTATES) TRASH SERVICE
Estates of Green Trails has bi-weekly trash pick-up on Wednesdays and Saturdays by Best Trash (Phone 281-313-2378). Should you be overlooked by Best Trash on a pickup day, please call Best Trash directly and register any complaints with Sterling ASI (Phone 281-491-0266). They will follow up with Best Trash about the problem. Holidays, which fall on our pickup days mean that trash will be picked up the next school service day. The following is a list of holidays observed by Best Trash: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Please have your trash ready for pickup by 7 AM on pickup days. Landscaping debris, such as large bags of grass clippings, tree branches/limbs, etc. will be picked up either day, but it must be carried to the end of your driveway and left there for pickup; you can bring these heavy items out the night before, but please not several days in advance of pickup. Your neighbors appreciate it! Heavy household items such as hot water heaters, washers, etc. are considered “heavy trash” and are picked up on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
(GT ESTATES) SECURITY
All other trash will be picked up “at the back door” (outside the gate beside the garage, etc.) by Best Trash. Please be sure trash is visible and/or accessible to them, and please keep all pets safely away from that area of your yard. We pay for “back door” pickup, so that is where the men look for your trash.
To contact the Constable’s Office: • Emergency - 911 • Dispatch: 281-463-6666. PLEASE CALL THEM IF YOU SEE ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS OR NEED SECURITY INFORMATION. The Constable’s office encourages residents to call if they see any suspicious or bothersome activity. Please keep your vehicles locked at all times to reduce crime of opportunity.
Recycling plays an important role in how we help to protect the environment. The recycling day for the neighborhood is on Wednesday. Have your recycling bin at the curb no later 7:00 AM. You can recycle the following items; newsprint, magazines, phone books, corrugated boxes (broken down), non-corrugated cardboard (i.e. cereal boxes, soda boxes, etc.), HDPE Plastics 1 & 2 (look for the little triangle symbol usually on the bottom of the container with the number inside of it), aluminum and tin cans, paper, plastics 1 through 7, all glass and all metals. Items excluded include plastic bags, Styrofoam, pizza boxes and food soiled items.
Neighborhood security is provided by the Harris County Constables Precinct 5 Office, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. We also have an additional contract with them (Contract 50 - in conjunction with the other sections of Green Trails and Windsor Park Lakes).
(GT ESTATES) VACATION WATCH
Updated 10/14 Residents of Constable Precinct 5 contract subdivisions, which include Estates of Green Trails, can have their homes checked by a drive-by patrol officer while they are away on vacation. Please contact the Constable’s office at 281-463-6666 or complete a Vacation Watch Form, which can be found online at www.harriscountytx.gov/pct5 or www.constablepct5.com - You will need to complete the form and submit it to the Constable’s office one week before you leave!

April 2016
Carnival is one of two annual fundraisers for NCE and typically attracts thousands of Katy residents and their families. It will take place at the NCE campus, 20500 Kingsland Blvd. Katy, Texas. Entertainment will include many games and rides, including the return of the Gmax (by popular demand) and the introduction of The Big Baller, a giant obstacle course featuring four huge, red, inflatable balls surrounded by a blue ball pit resembling a moat filled with water. In the food and beverage department, NCE will be offering a sampling of culinary delights from around the world! Chick-Fil-A also returns this year, along with the Chick-Fil-A cow. Pizza and Tutti Frutti for dessert also will be available. Young attendees will enjoy the Petting Zoo and Trackless Train and every guest can replenish their supplies of gear at the Carnival General Store. Kids of all ages can capture photos with their friends in the Photo Booth. Kids are invited to wear multi-cultural attire to the Carnival - as a reminder to everyone that diversity is interesting and beautiful! Everyone is encouraged to wear their dancing shoes (sneakers count) and participate in our Carnival Dance Contest. Prizes for 1st and 2nd place will be awarded! Don’t forget the Silent Auction, bound to tantalize with themed baskets from each NCE class, as well as parties and the ever-popular 5th grade basketball game. Previous auctions have included a weekend getaway in a Galveston condo! Stay tuned to NCE’s Facebook page for details on this year’s auction items! Volunteers from Taylor High School will be lending a helping hand to this year’s event and many local businesses have shown their support of NCE by sponsoring this year’s Carnival. All sponsorship dollars are applied toward purchases to improve the school. This year’s Carnival will be absolutely out of this world. We’ll see you…out there!

JAMES E. TAYLOR HIGH SCHOOL KEY CLUB HOSTED INTERNATIONAL DINNER
On January 15, 2016, the James E. Taylor High School Key Club hosted a buffet-style international dinner (INDIE for short) in collaboration with several other cultural clubs (International Cultural Society, Chinese and Japanese Club, German Club and South Asian Students Association.) Several local businesses made donations to provide for the dinner and the raffle that also took place. Tickets were sold separately for the dinner and raffle and due to the large amount of attendees, the total profit amounted to $973.67. This profit will be donated to aid the 4 million Syrian refugees who have lost their homes due to Civil War, not as an effort to encourage Syrian immigration to America, but rather to help a humanitarian cause and provide clean water, food, shelter, clothing, etc. to the innocent. INDIE was successful in providing a vast array of international foods to attendees while raising an a mountable sum for a just cause and it has hopefully marked the beginning of a selfless tradition that will be continued for years to come.

Calling on all the quilters in the area to help make pillowcases and small blankets. This last year we donated over 200 pillowcases and small blankets to various charities.

We need you and we have fabric that has been donated but we need your hands and time to make someone smile. If you would like to help, call the Katy Quilters, Shari Medford at 281-635-3000.

FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)
When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month. Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change lives with hands-on community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see www.ncjwhouston.org.
