PATRIOT DAY AND NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE AND REMEMBRANCE September 11

In memory of the nearly 3,000 people who were killed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, each year in the United States we observe Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance.

HISTORY On October 25, 2001, the U.S. House of Representatives Joint Resolution 71 was approved. Resolution 71 requested that the President designate September 11 of each year as “Patriot Day”.

President George W. Bush signed the resolution into law on December 18, 2001 (as Public Law 107-89).

On this day, it is asked by the President that the American flag is flown at half-staff at individual American homes, the White House and on all United States government buildings and establishments at home and abroad. The President has also asked Americans to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 A.M.(Eastern Daylight Time), the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. He also strongly encourages Americans to use the Corporation for National and Community Service to find and volunteer for service opportunities.

It was on September 10 of 2012 that President Obama issued a proclamation renaming the day as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, in reference to both Public Laws 107-89 and 111-13 (the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act).

“As we join in serving causes greater than ourselves and honoring those we lost, we are reminded of the ways that the victims of 9/11 live on — in the people they loved, the lives they touched, and the courageous acts they inspired. On Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, we pledge to carry on their legacy of courage and compassion, and to move forward together as one people.” ~Presidential Proclamation– Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/09/09/ presidential-proclamation-patriot-day-and-national-day-serviceand-remem Copyright © 2018 Peel, Inc.

SHADOW CREEK RANCH Tree Planting Guide From CenterPoint Energy When trees grow and extend into power lines, they can cause power outages and safety hazards for you and your neighbors. Prevent these problems by planting the “right tree in the right place,” and you won’t have to worry about trimming or removing your trees once they grow.

Benefits of Trees Trees help Houstonians in many ways: • Energy efficiency – help homes and buildings keep cool by providing shade. They also reduce wind and temperature fluctuations in your home.

• Cleaner air – reduce Houston’s air pollution.

• Beauty – enhance the appearance of our homes and communities.

• Privacy – obstruct views of neighbors, traffic and more.

• Peace & quiet – tree foliage serves as a noise buffer from city noise.

• Fun – kids love to play, climb and swing on a tree.

• Wildlife – provide a habitat for birds and other animals.

• Food – produce a variety of fruits and nuts.

But not every tree is right for you and your yard. Follow the steps below to ensure you have a tree that meets your needs, fits your space and doesn’t create problems with nearby power lines. - See more at: https://www.centerpointenergy.com/en-us/safety/pages/tree-planting-guide.as px?sa=ho&au=res#sthash.6yWTUtBN.dpuf

Steps Before Planting 1 Determine Available Space 2 Identify nearby power lines and their type: • Distribution lines need 10 feet of clearance from vegetation.

• Transmission lines mean no trees inside the Right-of-Way and no tall trees nearby.

• Service drops should never have trees planted beneath them.

3 Also look for nearby electrical equipment, like pad mount transformers or smart meters. Don’t plant trees, shrubs, plants or other vegetation where it can damage equipment or interfere with CenterPoint Energy’s ability to access it.

4 Choose a Tree 5 Knowing your space limitations, determine what tree species you want to plant.

• Distribution-line-friendly, low-growing trees.

• Transmission-corridor-friendly, low-growing vegetation.

• The Texas Forest Service Tree Planting Guide helps you find the right tree for your property.

6 Call Before You Dig 7 Homeowners must call 811 before digging to avoid hitting underground utility lines. - See more at: https://www. centerpointenergy.com/en-us/safety/pages/tree-planting-guide.as px?sa=ho&au=res#sthash.6yWTUtBN.dpuf SIGN UP E TO SA ARLY VE!
