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 to 1,000 feet

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.

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. 

Most important is proper watering: 

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do not water.) 

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage. 

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day. 

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT. 

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger and more 

drought resistant roots. 

• Less watering also saves you money!!

LAMAR CISD HONORED BY 

COLLEGE BOARD FOR PREPARING 

STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE 

Lamar CISD is one of 130 school districts in the United States and one 

of only 21 in Texas placed on the College Board’s Gaston Caperton 

Opportunity Honor Roll. Districts featured on the Honor Roll expanded 

access to higher education by providing students with rigorous academic 

offerings and innovative college-preparation programs. The award is named 

for the former governor of West Virginia who was president of the College 

Board 1999-2012. Districts on the Honor Roll demonstrated significant and 

consistent growth in the number of underrepresented students and students 

from lower-income backgrounds participating in AP®, taking the SAT® and 

applying to four or more colleges. 


To be included on the Gaston Caperton Opportunity Honor Roll, a school 

district must: 

•Increase the total number of underrepresented students who took the SAT; 

•Increase the total number of underrepresented students who took an AP 

course and exam; 

•Increase the total number of underrepresented students who were on track 

for college, as demonstrated by scoring 1550+ on the SAT; 

•Increase the total number of underrepresented students who scored a 3 or 

higher on an AP Exam; and 

•Increase the total number of underrepresented students who sent their SAT 

scores to at least four colleges. 

Districts on the Gaston Caperton Opportunity Honor Roll show exemplary 

classroom instruction, challenging courses and daily hard work and practice 

make all the difference in the lives of students. 

FULSHEAR HIGH SCHOOL 

NEW LOGO 

On Friday, Feb. 19 th , Fulshear High School Principal 

Daniel Ward revealed the logo for the newest Lamar 

CISD high school - Fulshear High School. “We wanted 

something different from the other District mascots,” 

Ward said. “I think we’ve hit the mark.” The new logo 

will set an identity for the campuses noting that Leaman 

Junior High will have the same mascot. “From grades 

six through 12, these kids will be Chargers,” Ward said. “We are one. Once 

a Charger, always a Charger.” 

The logo, featuring a fierce horse, with a body that tails off into a lightning bolt, 

was designed by a graphic artist. Ward, Leaman Principal Mike Semmler, 

Oschler Flemming, Fulshear High’s athletic coordinator and Socorro Torres, 

Ward’s administrative assistant, took part in the process of finalizing the logo. 

“This is actually the fifth or sixth version,” he said. “But this one really pops!” 

Ward said spirit wear will be available in May.

DECIBELLES (A BARBERSHOP CHORUS) 

Do you like to sing? Are you looking for a place to display your talents or just 

to have fun with music? You should be a Decibelle! 

We are a (ladies only) daytime chorus rehearsing every Friday morning 

from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM, at the Treemont Retirement Center, 2501 

Westerland, near Westheimer and Gessner. Some of us read music, but it 

is not required. We are provided a CD to help in learning new songs. Our 

director, Martha Upton and assistant director, Cay Eckland will help you find 

out if you are a Tenor, Lead, Baritone or Bass. 

We have been performing in the Houston area for over 38 years. We prepare 

two types of shows each year; a Christmas show with old favorites, but always 

a new fun tune including props, narratives and choreography. Our regular 

show this year is titled “Through the Years” We are singing songs from 1900 

and every decade after that. If your meeting, gathering or any type “get 

together” would like a half hour of cheerful and melodic entertainment, call 

the Decibelles. We’ll be there in costume with a program of sheer delight. 

Come visit any Friday we are not performing. We would love to see you and 

if you decide to join us, we would be delighted. For more information, please 

call Pat at 281-497-4904 or visit our website, www.Decibelles.org. 

GRACE NOTES 

Singers, dancers and Instrumentalists are invited to join the “Grace Notes”

We rehearse during the school year on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 AM at

OUR STUDENT’S LIFELINES 

Become an essential part of a student’s life by signing up to be a tutor for 

the Literacy Council! The Literacy Council of Fort Bend County holds tutor 

training every other month. After 12 hours of training, outstanding volunteers 

are equipped to teach Basic Literacy and English as a Second Language 

(ESL) classes to adults. The trainings prepare tutors to organize and compile 

lesson plans, learn about various tutoring techniques, understand the purpose 

of the Literacy Council and much more. Tutors do not need knowledge of 

any foreign language, nor do they need formal teaching experience. We 

offer many locations for tutoring throughout the area, including locations in 

Katy. Tutoring sessions are offered during the day and at night. If you are 

interested in impacting someone’s life by being their tutor, please contact the 

Literacy Council at 281-240-8181 or visit the website at www.ftbendliteracy. 

org. Help us to “Change Lives Through Literacy!” 

RUOK PROGRAM 

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.

PLEASE NOTE - PETS ON LEASHES 

It is the law in Fort Bend County that all pets must be vaccinated for rabies, 

registered and restrained. All animals, when outside of an owner’s means of 

restraint (i.e., in a fenced back yard), must be on a leash. For the safety of 

all residents, please use all precautions with your pets and keep them 

on leashes when walking pets in the community EVEN IF YOU FEEL 

YOUR PET IS HARMLESS. If you see ANY animal roaming freely in the 

neighborhood, immediately call Animal Control at 281-342-1512. Even if you 

recognize the animal, be very careful approaching it, as you do not know 

how it will react; if you can safely retrieve the animal, then call the owner. 

Otherwise, Animal Control is your best and safest option. 

ATTENTION! 

PET POOPS / YOU SCOOP 

Please be respectful of community grounds and neighbors’ yards. If your 

pet poops during your walk, be prepared to scoop and trash. Come with 

a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. It may not be the 

most fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show your respect for every 

homeowner and our beautiful community.
