Monthly meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month from<br />

NCGC is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Houston Federation of<br />

Garden Clubs, the Texas State Garden Clubs and the National Federation<br />

of Garden Clubs. <strong>The</strong> purpose of the club is to promote the beautification of<br />

our community, support local and national educational and civic organizations<br />

and educate the community about our environment. Donations from<br />

the NCGC are funded by our annual Spring Plant Sale and various projects<br />

throughout the year.<br />

If you like to play a musical instrument and/or sing with other musicians, we<br />

encourage you to join us on Friday nights, except the first Friday of the<br />

month, from 6 to 8 PM at a local Katy location. (No charge and non-profit.)<br />

We play on acoustic instruments, such as: guitar, fiddle, dobro, mandolin<br />

and bass fiddle. For more information, call 281-693-0391. No smoking or<br />

drinking.<br />

GARDENING TIPS FOR APRIL<br />

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great many<br />

pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy ‘loose’<br />

mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also buying ants, roaches, termites,<br />

etc… Spend a little more on bagged material and save lots of future<br />

pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes<br />

exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing<br />

pests in your home and allow for quick and accurate termite<br />

inspections.<br />

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants<br />

at least 12” - 18” back from your home. Do your best to<br />

create a plant free zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your<br />

home. <strong>The</strong> exception is your lawn - it can grow up next to<br />

the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of the<br />

slab. <strong>The</strong> most conducive to termite infestation are groundcover<br />

plantings, growing high against your homes exterior<br />

or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls.<br />

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. <strong>The</strong> spring<br />

spray eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing<br />

trees to resist the pest onslaught of summer with residual<br />

pesticides. <strong>The</strong> fall spray also kills pests from the summer,<br />

prevents most fungi from occurring over the winter and puts<br />

your valuable asset off to a healthy winter’s dormancy.<br />

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment<br />

to stop brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your<br />

lawn is thin and weak in some areas, here are some important<br />

fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control.<br />

Most important is proper watering:<br />

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain<br />

or more - then do not water.)<br />

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage.<br />

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day.<br />

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT.<br />

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper,<br />

stronger and more drought resistant roots.<br />

• Less watering also saves you money!!<br />

NOTTINGHAM COUNTRY ELEMENTARY CARNIVAL<br />

<strong>The</strong> 2016 Nottingham Country Elementary (NCE) Carnival is<br />

coming on April 8 th , from 5 PM-8:30 PM. Everyone is invited,<br />

free of charge, to “travel around the world in a day!” <strong>The</strong><br />

event will celebrate diversity, which is NCE’s theme for the<br />

2015-2016 school year and will be sprinkled with aerospace<br />

references, because no one can appreciate the unity of humanity<br />

better than an astronaut!<br />

Carnival is one of two annual fundraisers for NCE and typically<br />

attracts thousands of Katy residents and their families.<br />

It will take place at the NCE campus, 20500 Kingsland Blvd.<br />

Katy, Texas. Entertainment will include many games and rides,<br />

including the return of the Gmax (by popular demand) and<br />

the introduction of <strong>The</strong> Big Baller, a giant obstacle course<br />

featuring four huge, red, inflatable balls surrounded by a<br />

blue ball pit resembling a moat filled with water. In the food<br />

and beverage department, NCE will be offering a sampling<br />

of culinary delights from around the world! Chick-Fil-A also<br />

returns this year, along with the Chick-Fil-A cow. Pizza and<br />

Tutti Frutti for dessert also will be available.<br />

Young attendees will enjoy the Petting Zoo and Trackless<br />

Train and every guest can replenish their supplies of gear<br />

at the Carnival General Store. Kids of all ages can capture<br />

photos with their friends in the Photo Booth. Kids are invited<br />

to wear multi-cultural attire to the Carnival - as a reminder to<br />

Don’t forget the Silent Auction, bound to tantalize with themed<br />

baskets from each NCE class, as well as parties and the<br />

ever-popular 5 th grade basketball game. Previous auctions<br />

have included a weekend getaway in a Galveston condo!<br />

Stay tuned to NCE’s Facebook page for details on this year’s<br />

auction items! Volunteers from Taylor High School will be<br />

lending a helping hand to this year’s event and many local<br />

businesses have shown their support of NCE by sponsoring<br />

this year’s Carnival. All sponsorship dollars are applied toward<br />

purchases to improve the school. This year’s Carnival<br />

will be absolutely out of this world. We’ll see you…out there!<br />

JAMES E. TAYLOR HIGH SCHOOL KEY CLUB<br />

HOSTED INTERNATIONAL DINNER<br />

On January 15, 2016, the James E. Taylor High School<br />

Key Club hosted a buffet-style international dinner (INDIE<br />

for short) in collaboration with several other cultural clubs<br />

(International Cultural Society, Chinese and Japanese Club,<br />

German Club and South Asian Students Association.) Several<br />

local businesses made donations to provide for the dinner<br />

and the raffle that also took place. Tickets were sold separately<br />

for the dinner and raffle and due to the large amount<br />

of attendees, the total profit amounted to $973.67. This<br />

profit will be donated to aid the 4 million Syrian refugees<br />

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ART CONTEST!<br />

Don’t mess with Texas® and Keep Texas Beautiful invite you<br />

to set aside time for their Elementary School Art Contest. Did<br />

you know that Texans ages 16 to 34 are the most likely to<br />

litter? We need to do all we can to motivate young Texans to<br />

keep our environment free of trash. This contest is a great way<br />

to share the Don’t mess with Texas and Keep Texas Beautiful<br />

litter prevention messages with your elementary school<br />

students so that they learn good habits from an early age.<br />

Get creative! Inspired by their creativity and desire to protect<br />

our environment, elementary school students from across<br />

Texas can submit their best litter prevention design to be<br />

considered for the 2016 Don’t mess with Texas Calendar. Entries<br />

will be judged based on creativity/uniqueness, inclusion<br />

of a litter prevention message and interpretation of theme,<br />

overall visual appeal, composition and age appropriateness.<br />

Students win prizes and have their art featured. Students who<br />

create the top 13 winning designs will have their artwork assigned<br />

to a month or featured on the cover of the 2016 Don’t<br />

mess with Texas Calendar. Each will also win an iDeaUSA 8 tablet<br />

donated by H-E-B and Central Market. All student winners and<br />

their artwork will be showcased on the Don’t mess with Texas<br />

and Keep Texas Beautiful websites and social media sites, at<br />

the 2016 Keep Texas Beautiful annual conference, in media<br />

announcements and through other means as appropriate.<br />

Teachers win, too! Teachers representing students who produce<br />

the top 13 designs will each win a $100 H-E-B and Central<br />

Market gift card. See Official Contest Rules for more information.<br />

Everything you’ll need to participate including fact sheets,<br />

official rules and the contest entry form and agreement is<br />

LOST YOUR PET?<br />

Veterinary Public Health DIVISION<br />

(Formerly called Harris County Animal Control)<br />

<strong>The</strong> Veterinary Public Health Division posts photos of all animals<br />

found on their website and updates it twice daily. If you have<br />

lost your pet, please check this website. www.countypets.com.<br />

VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION<br />

HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW<br />

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all<br />

our residents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an<br />

animal running at someone who is walking by is very scary for<br />

that person. Many children are afraid of animals and become<br />

frightened, which could result in the child getting hurt trying to<br />

avoid the animal.<br />

Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County<br />

Animal Control) advises that “All dogs and cats must be kept<br />

under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris<br />

County, Texas. <strong>The</strong> custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized<br />

to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow<br />

any dog or cat to become a stray.”<br />

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the<br />

following circumstances:<br />

1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6)<br />

feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who<br />

is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question<br />

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle<br />

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal<br />

does not have access to sidewalk or street.”<br />

While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while<br />

you work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is<br />

properly restrained.<br />

Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place<br />

for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will<br />

not only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the<br />

area, but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible<br />

or possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet.<br />
