April 2012

Timely Tip for April GArdeners from CorneliUs nUrsery Celebrate Earth Day this month and go “green.” A successful garden begins with good soil. Organic material is important to the soil composition. It helps with drainage and increases the soil microbe population. Expanded shale is used to break up hard, compacted clay soils. Applying molasses will help stimulate microorganisms and energize your plants. Top dress your flowerbeds and containers with organic mulches. They not only break down slowly putting organic material back into the soil but, they also prevent weeds, conserve moisture and cool the soil during the heat of the summer.

ELECTRICIAN 5 Year Warranty* 100% Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed!

Other organic insecticides and fungicides are Neem Oil, Diatomaceous Earth and Insecticidal Soaps. These are products, which are safe to use around pets and children. There are also beneficial insects available such as Ladybugs, Lacewings and Beneficial Nematodes! These guys will attack the pests and take care of them “naturally.”

fireworks prohibiTion in The deed resTriCTions The Board asks that residents refrain from celebrating holidays with the use of fireworks and fireworks display. This not only poses a nuisance and disturbance to your neighbors, it also leaves a messy aftermath to be cleaned up. Thank you for helping to keep Westheimer Lakes community fireworks free!

“FANCY NANCY” AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR VISITS STAN C. STANLEY ELEMENTARY The author and illustrator of “Fancy Nancy,” one of the most popular children’s picture book series, recently visited Stan C. Stanley Elementary School. Kindergarteners, first graders and second graders met author Jane O’Connor and illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser. The “Fancy Nancy” book series is based on a little girl named Nancy, who believes that more is always better when it comes to being fancy. The talented duo of O’Connor and Glasser have written and illustrated numerous best-selling books. This author visit was made possible by Blue Willow Bookshops.

HUGGINS ELEMENTARY HUGGINS DOMINATES AT THE ELKS NATIONAL HOOP SHOOT CONTEST!! Huggins dominated the Elks National Hoop Shoot Contest held in Stafford on Saturday, January 14th! ALL 5 Huggins participants placed at that local contest to be able to attend the regional area contest in Galveston, where they will compete against other winners from all over the Houston area. Students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade tried out during P.E. classes over the past month to compete and attend as our school winners. Students who make it all the way to the national contest win earn their name in the Basketball Hall of Fame. WAY TO GO HOUNDS!! The students are: 5th grade: Dillon Anderson - 1st place 5th grade: Madeline Maves - 1st place 4th grade: Tyler Kutach - 1st place 4th grade: Arionnah Gordon - 1st place 3rd grade: Wade Faith - 2nd place

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Jump Rope for Heart was held on February 10th. This is a great cause as all the money goes to the American Heart Association. In P.E. class, we have also been talking about what the money is used for and about the #1 killer in the United States, which is heart disease. The students earn “thank you gifts” for their donations and the more money we raise as a school, Huggins P.E. department will also receive a gift certificate to a P.E. equipment company for more items for us to use in our classes! Students who raised at least $25, received a free ticket to a Houston Aeros Hockey game and a picture with “Chilly,” the Aeros mascot. Students who raised at least $50, received a free ticket to a Houston Rockets game and a chance to go on the floor after the game and shoot a basket.

Pack 209“Marked Men” Katy Boy Scout Troop 209 recently held an Eagle Scout Award Court of Honor ceremony to recognize Michael Gilbert, Ryan Goodwin and Ian Johnecheck for achieving Scouting’s highest rank of Eagle Scout. Each Scout individually completed the requirements for Eagle by demonstrating leadership skills and proficiency as well as by initiating and leading a community service project. Michael’s project benefited St. Bartholomew Roman Catholic Church’s Youth Program, Ryan’s project benefited The Katy Heritage Society and Ian’s project benefited the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition. The three began Scouting in 2000 as Tiger Cubs in Cub Scout Troop 925. Now as Eagle Scouts they have become “Marked Men” by assuming the solemn obligation to do their duty to God, to Country, to fellow Scouts and to Mankind in general. Graduating from high school in 2011, Michael currently attends Midwestern State University, Ryan attends the University of Arkansas and Ian attends the University of Oklahoma. Troop 209, sponsored by St. Peter’s United Methodist Church, was established in 1939 and since then 138 of its members have become Eagle Scouts. Only 4 in 100 Scouts will earn the rank of Eagle Scout.

Photo by Bethany Vermillion

LDS Women’S Group HoStS InternatIonaL pHILantHropISt anD autHor On Saturday, January 21st, the Katy Stake Relief Society women’s auxiliary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), met to hear wisdom from author and philanthropist Beverly Campbell. Campbell served for twelve years as the director of International Affairs for the worldwide Church, where she worked with ambassadors and other world leaders. Also, as a director of the Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation, she played a significant role in the creation of Special Olympics and helped establish bioethical studies at major universities. She has been able to work at the national and international level on diverse challenges such as child survival, breast cancer, drunk driving, media and interfaith cooperation. Her family’s private philanthropy includes providing fresh water wells and building concrete dams for villages in Africa. Campbell is a noted author. She wrote both: Eve and the Choice Made in Eden and Eve and the Moral Journey: Finding Wholeness, Happiness, and Strength. A recent quote used to introduce her was, “It is essential for women to become articulate in all ways - in their lives and through their voices, as defenders of their homes, their faiths, their marriages, their beliefs, their core.”

The event was the annual conference of the combined Katy Stake Relief Society. The Katy Stake is a geographic area comprised of nine Latter-day Saint congregations, each with its own chapter of the Relief Society. About two hundred women attended.

281-788-2047 Update For North Fort BeNd CoUNty

By Commissioner Andy meyers Reported crimes have decreased 7% in Fort Bend County and nearly 9% in the Katy/Fulshear area from 2010 to 2011, despite an increase in population. The crime rate has decreased each year for the last ten years resulting in Fort Bend County having the lowest crime rate of the ten largest Texas counties. An article in the Katy Section of the Houston Chronicle reported that crime in Katy/ Cinco Ranch area, which is in both Harris and Fort Bend Counties, had increased. The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office recently assigned 50 Deputies to the North County Annex located at the northeast corner of the Grand Parkway and the Westpark Toll Road. Building the Annex and locating the Sheriff’s Patrol Deputies in it will increase patrol time in the north part of the county by 10-15%, which helps decrease response times on complaints and reduce crime. The two direct connectors at SH 99 and Interstate 10 are now open, significantly reducing traffic congestion at that intersection. TxDOT has begun construction of Segment “E” of the Grand Parkway from Interstate 10 to SH 290. Fort Bend County has begun construction of the first two of ten Grand Parkway overpasses in the portion of Segment “D” from FM 1093 to US 59. Construction of all ten overpasses and of Segment “E” should be completed by year end 2013. Fort Bend County has begun engineering design on the extension of the FM 1093/Westpark Toll Road. The Project is in two Phases. Phase I consists of four lanes of FM 1093 frontage road from SH 99 to FM 1463, four lanes of main toll lanes from SH 99 to Spring Green Road, and a direct connector east FM 1093 to north SH 99. Construction of Phase I is slated to begin the fall of 2012 and will take 18-24 months. Phase II of the Project consists of four lanes of FM 1093 frontage road from FM 1463 to James Lane in Fulshear and will be about two months behind Phase I. The Project is funded mainly by TxDOT and the Fort Bend County Toll Road Authority. The county will construct and operate a “Park and Ride” facility on property it owns on the north side of FM 1093/Westpark Toll Road between Mason Road and Grand Mission Drive. The “Park and Ride” is funded by a federal grant. It is scheduled to be completed by late summer 2013. Destinations from the “Park and Ride” will be to the Galleria Area, Greenway Plaza and the Medical Center.

“Education for Today, Tomorrow and Eternity”

A continuous right turn lane from north FM 1463 to east Interstate 10 was completed in 2011 to reduce traffic congestion at that intersection. Further improvements to FM 1463, a state road, requires the federal government to approve and fund additional feeder lanes from FM 1463 east along I 10 and an overpass at the FM 1463/I 10 intersection. Such approval and funding is not anticipated for several years. To provide additional access to I 10, the county has been working with TxDOT, Waller County, city of Katy, and various property owners and developers to build the Cane Island Parkway from US 90 on the north to connect to FM 1463 on the south. Cane Island will include an overpass over I 10 about a mile west of the I-10 / FM 1463 intersection. This Project has been stalled by the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) insistence that the state and local governments provide full funding for the ultimate I 10 overpass, which is estimated to cost $30 million. Another proposal has been made to FHWA for approval of a two-lane overpass over I 10. We currently await a response from FHWA.

Sugar Land Garden Club meets at the Sugar Land Community Center, 226 Matlage Way, Sugar Land 77478. For more information visit www.sugarlandgardenclub.org or call 281-491-1621. Sugar Land Garden Club was established in 1932 and is one of the largest garden clubs in Texas. Membership is open to all.

Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Dept. has a computer-generated program called “Are You OK?” (RUOK). It is a computer-generated call intended for senior citizens (over 55) and disabled persons who live alone and could benefit from a daily check. A computer will generate a call each morning, at about the same time and the participant chooses a time frame. A voice will ask, “Are you OK?” After this, all they have to do is hang up the phone. If the participant goes out of town or leaves the residence for any time, you just temporarily un-subscribe and re-subscribe when you return. If the call goes unanswered, the computer will call back 3 times at 15-minute intervals. If there is still no answer, the Sheriff will dispatch a deputy or the local police. They will have with them a print out of information on the person that is not responding to the calls. This program was established by FBC Sheriff Milton Wright, Commissioner’s Court and Ken Whitt (FBC Sheriff’s Citizens Academy Alumni Assoc.) in 1998. Many police chiefs in the county are also participating in the program and will proceed with the welfare check for citizens of their community. To request more information or to enroll in this free and very beneficial program, please call the Sheriff’s Dept. at 281-341-4704.

Fort Bend County “Leash Law” Animal control authorities are permitted to enter your Property to patrol and remove pets. Pets must be registered, licensed and inoculated as required by law. As a dog owner, you are responsible for the control of your dog. If your dog is one that ‘makes objectionable noise,’ you must make every effort to respect your Neighbor’s right to their ‘peace and quiet.’ When your dog is not in your yard, it is imperative that you keep your dog on a leash at all times. While your dog is friendly to you and your family, imagine the consequences if it were to harm someone while it was ‘roaming free.’ Please respect other resident’s right to walk the common area ground without fear of attack from an unleashed dog. Laws are written to ensure that owned animals are confined to their property or kept on a leash to free a community of unrestrained and free-roaming animals. Although most dog bites occur on the property where the dog lives, unrestrained or free-roaming dogs do pose a substantial threat to the public. In addition, unrestrained animals are at increased risk of being bitten by rabies infected wildlife. Enforcement of restraint laws is essential in enhancing the animal control program’s efforts to reduce the risk of rabies in our community.

In addition to protecting pets, rabies vaccinations provide a barrier between infected wild animals and humans.

WHAT IS EASTER? Easter is the time for holidays, festivals and a time for giving chocolate Easter eggs. But Easter means much more.... Easter is one of the oldest and the more important Christian Festivals, the celebration of the death and coming to life again of Jesus Christ. For Christians, the dawn of Easter Sunday with its message of new life is the high point of the Christian year.

WHAT IS THE EASTER STORY? Easter is the story of Jesus’ last days in Jerusalem before his death. The Easter story includes Maundy Thursday (the Last supper leading to the Eucharist), Good Friday (the day on which Jesus was crucified) and Easter Day (the day on which Jesus came back to life). It is a sad story because Jesus was killed. But the story has a very happy ending, because Jesus came back to life and visited his friends and followers once more. He did not die at all, but went back up to Heaven to be with God, his father.

WHERE DOES THE NAME ‘EASTER’ COME FROM? Pagan traditions give us the English word “Easter” which comes from the word “Eostre.” The Anglo-Saxon word for April was “Eostre-monath” (the month of openings). However, it should be remembered that Christians celebrated the resurrection of Christ

According to Bede, the English monastic historian, the English word Easter comes from the Anglo-Saxon name for the month of April, which was known as “Eostremonath” in the AngloSaxon tongue and since Pascha was most often celebrated in Eostremonath, the English Christians began calling it “Easter.” Bede also notes that the month was named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Esostre. Rituals related to the goddess Eostre focus on new beginnings, symbolized by the Easter egg, and fertility, which is symbolized by the hare (or Easter bunny).

GARDENING TIPS FOR APRIL Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great many pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy ‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more on bagged material and save lots of future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing pests in your home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections. Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12” - 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow up next to the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most conducive to termite infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high against your homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls. Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a healthy winter’s dormancy. Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin and weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control.
