FREDDY’S PAINTING

Planting the Right Tree in the Right Place CenterPoint Energy understands that the responsible planting of trees is a way to care for our environment and beautify our community, yet we are also committed to the safe and reliable delivery of electricity. Our professional tree pruning program is integrated into our daily operations to help make this possible. Trees that grow close to CenterPoint Energy’s electrical poles and lines will be pruned by a professional tree trimming company under contract with CenterPoint Energy. Any vegetation greater than 10 feet in height will be removed from high-voltage transmission line rights-of-way.

Palm trees growing near power lines create unique issues. Unlike other trees, palms grow in a straight, vertical line, with a single growing point at the top of the tree. Because of this single-growth point, normal pruning techniques are not effective. With most trees, crews are able to direct the growth away from power lines using proper pruning techniques, but growth of palm trees cannot be redirected.

If you choose to include palm trees in your landscape, CenterPoint Energy recommends a planting distance of 20 - 40 feet to reduce the risk of windblown fronds contacting power lines. Consumers should plant palm trees far enough away from power lines that no part of the tree ever grows within 10 feet of the line.

CenterPoint Energy encourages you to plant the “Right Tree in the Right Place” by thinking about the mature height of a tree and its distance from power lines before planting. For more information on safe planting practices and a list of power line-friendly trees, visit CenterPointEnergy.com/trees.

March Gardening Tips

vegetables • Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans and pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, cantaloupe, okra (if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and watermelon.

LAWN • Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this part of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).

• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY the variety Floratam for best pest resistance.

See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.

TREES AND SHRUBS • Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible. In shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of the prostrate junipers.

• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early March.

However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have bloomed.

• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet of garden planting area. Early March is the ideal time to fertilize landscape plants because you give them food just before the spring growing season starts.

KIDS Folk Life Festival

needs fabric

I am collecting fabric and old sheets to make rag dolls at the KIDS Folk Life Festival on March 31st. At the Folk Life Festival we show people how to make rag dolls like they did years ago from scrap fabric. Last year we had almost 4,000 people who wanted to make these dolls but we ran out of fabric. I had no idea it would be such a popular station, so I am starting now asking for fabric donations.

Siding Products

If you have any fabric (cotton is the best) or old sheets, let me know and I can come get it from you or you can drop it off at a school near you and I can collect it there. If you would like to volunteer at the folk life festival, please contact me at slbedwards@att.net.

Talan Holmes Charity Golf Classic Talan Holmes Charity Golf Classic is a Golf Tournament that has one main goal. We are all about providing funds to a group of people who are born with Tebial Hemimelia (TH from here on). TH is a rare malformation, 1:1,000,000 or lack of formation of the Tibia which is the weight bearing bone in the bottom of the leg. This tournament started out to pay the medical expenses of Talan Holmes, the tournament chairman’s son. Talan has undergone his first surgery and is now working with his first prosthesis trying to learn to walk.

Many families, like the Holmes family, are unaware of TH and until delivery don’t know that their child has TH. Our goal, while still paying the medical expenses of Talan, is to help other families that may not have the ability to raise their own funds or simply can’t raise enough to get their child the prosthesis that he or she needs.

Second Saturday Aluminum Can Collection - If you live in the Houston Area, please consider participating in our “Cans for a Cure” Recycling Program.

The second Saturday of each month, Keep Kids Connected collects aluminum beverage cans at the Tradition Bank Pin Oak Branch location from 9 am-12 pm. The proceeds from recycling the cans helps fund the purchase of Netbook computers and pediatric cancer research.

Invite your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to support this recycling pro-gram and donate their aluminum cans to Keep Kids Connected.

Keep Kids Connected was created to help kids stay connected to family and friends while they undergo their treatment for cancer or any other life-threatening illness. The idea for the organization was created by Caitlyn Mortus who is, herself, a cancer survivor. While going through her treatments, she was given a Netbook computer from a family friend. The computer kept her in contact with her friends and helped keep her spirits up when she was in the hospital for her treatments or unable to have visitors. Her wish is that every kid battling cancer or any life-threatening illness be given a computer so they can stay connected to their family and friends while they are going through their treatments. Her wish has become our mission.

For more information about Keep Kids Connected go to the website, www.keepkidsconnected.org or check out their Facebook page! If you would like to get on the contact list for upcoming events, email keepkidsconnected@gmail.com.

KATY TKD ACADEMY’S C3 BOOSTER CLUB COLLECTS TOYS & SUPPLIES FOR TOTS & MARINES Each year the Katy TaeKwonDo Academy’s C3 Booster Club holds several community events that benefit the Katy community. This past holiday season booster club supporters shined in their acts of “Community,” one of the valued “Cs” in the C3 Booster Club name. In December, the C3 Booster Club once again partnered with the U.S. Marines in their Toys For Tots toy drive and this year added a second collection drive - gathering supplies for an active Marine platoon.

The generosity of Katy TKD Academy students and C3 Booster Club members was evident as toys mounded in Toys For Tots collection boxes. On “delivery day” Marine representatives joined academy students and staff to celebrate with a photo and a cheer to send off the toys to needy boys and girls.

Abundant generosity didn’t stop with toys. Corporal Patrick Reade, brother to academy staff instructor, Michael Reade, is stationed with the U.S. Marines in Afghanistan. Cpl. Reade’s platoon is the fortunate recipient of boxes upon boxes of food and supplies graciously donated by Katy TKD Academy students.

Civil Air Patrol Cadet Earns Pilot’s License Cadet 2d Lt. Javier Rocha from Katy, Texas, earned his private pilot’s license in December 2011. The seventeen year old cadet first flew in a CAP Cessna as a passenger during an orientation flight in February of 2009. “During that flight, I knew instantly that I had to become a pilot.” His first act after receiving his license, was to proudly take each family member for a ride.

Along with this accomplishment, Cadet Rocha has earned the Doolittle Award, a high honor for cadets. He holds a leadership position in the cadet squadron, has attended encampments for training in emergency services and takes an active part in ground team management during squadron search and rescue exercises. His goal after graduating high school is to obtain a commercial pilot’s license, go to college, then to join the Air Force as an officer in flight training.

Javier is currently a senior at Cy-Springs High School.

PETER’S UMC CHOIR PRESENT ‘THE SEVEN LAST WORDS OF CHRIST’ The Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra returns to Katy on Saturday, March 24th, joining with the St. Peter’s United Methodist Church Choir, to present Theodore Dubois’s The Seven Last Words of Christ.

General admission tickets are $10 each in advance or at the door.

Living Word Lutheran Church Teens Tie Knots for Lutheran World Relief Members of the Junior High Youth Group at Living Word Lutheran Church are learning to tie knots in baby quilts. The quilts were assembled by the Piecemakers quilting group, and the teens have been recruited to tie the knots to complete the quilts. Baby Care Kits are then filled with quilts, baby clothes and diapers, and are sent to the Lutheran World Relief warehouse. From there the Kits are shipped to areas of the world recovering from war and natural disasters. Members of the community are invited to donate cotton fabric to use to design the quilt tops. Fabric pieces may be dropped off at the office of Living Word Lutheran Church.

LOST CAT ‘TUBE’

Richard Behlmann Attorney

“Tube” is Blue Gray Russian Blue neutered male, current immunizations, micro chipped. He’s shy around strangers, harmless ( a lover not a fighter), and will probably run from you if you approach him. However, if you have a way with cats, you may be able to sweet talk him into your home. He’s probably hungry and scared. We love and miss our beloved kitty.
