Gardening Tips 

For January 

• Birds: Provide food and fresh water. More birds die from lack of water than from lack of food. 

• Cacti: Semi-dormant now. Reduce watering. 

• Camellias: Plants may be moved. Pick up and discard fallen blooms. 

• Cultivation: Changes in design may now be made, new beds dug and old ones rebuilt. Correct defects in 

drainage. Incorporate gypsum into heavy soils: repeat in three weeks. Dig granite dust, rock phosphate and 

quantities of organic matter into soil. Allow time for settling before planting. 

• Fertilize: Daylilies, spuria, Louisiana and bearded irises with complete fertilizer. Give strawberries 1 

teaspoon ammonium sulfate, keeping six inches away from plant. Fertilize pansies with manure tea or 

blood meal. Water in. 

• Fruits: Plant fruit trees. Mulch figs with grass or straw to prevent freeze damage to crown. 

• House Plants: Water, when surface soil is crumbly dry. Wash dust off leaves to open pores. Mist often. 

Inspect for diseases and insects. Reduce water for poinsettias. 

• Lawns: Remove thatch aerate, and feed with low nitrogen mixture. 

• Pests: For petal blight prevention, spray azaleas and camellias as flowers open. Spray for scale with 

dormant oil solution if temperature will be above 35˚ and below 85˚ for next 48 hours. Always read and 

heed manufacturer’s directions before spraying. 

• Propagation: Ivy cuttings root easily this month and next. Root cuttings of shrubs in mixture of loam and 

coarse sand; keep damp and semi-shaded until rooted. 

• Prune: Fruit trees in advance of new growth. Prune to groom and shape. Do not remove too much. Remove 

dead wood from trees and shrubs before spring buds swell, but do not prune spring bloomers. Prune crape 

myrtles. Prune nandina and others of similar growth habit by cutting unwanted canes out at base of plant. 

• Roses: Annual pruning about the middle of February, just before the spring buds break. To prevent later 

appearance of disease in the old beds, keep garden clean of debris and weeds. Complete preparation of 

new beds for roses. 

• Transplanting: January is one of the best months to transplant woody plants, both evergreen and 

deciduous, especially trees. Energy will be expended on roots instead of foliage. Learn ultimate size and 

cultural needs of tree or plant before buying. Consider dwarf varieties to avoid crowding later. Group 

plants of similar cultural needs. Do not work wet soil. Assure good drainage. Keep plants moist. 

• Vegetables: Prepare beds, preferably raised for drainage, with about 50% humus, including rotted manure. 

• Winter Protection: Expect freeze any time; plan for protection of tender plants. Water. Remove coverings, 

particularly plastic, when temperature rises. Protect low plants with dry leaves, pine needles or soil mulch, 

but remove when weather warms.

CFISD MENTOR PROGRAM 

The CFISD Mentor Program is a cooperative effort of volunteers from businesses, faith-based and/or non-profit 

organizations, the community and the school district designed to encourage students (elementary through high 

school) to finish school and focus on future education and career goals. A mentor is a suitable role model committed 

to helping a student with his/her academic and social development. Mentors meet with students one-on-one for 

approximately 30 minutes each week. Currently, over 700 mentors are matched with students. Mentors must be 18 

years or older. 

To become a mentor, you must attend a training session (REGISTER), complete a global volunteer/mentor application 

and consent to a criminal history record check. 

Training Sessions - Registration is REQUIRED. 

• Register for a training session. 

• If you would like to schedule mentor training at your place of business, please contact the Community Engagement 

department, Leslie Francis, Director of Marketing and Business Relations at 281-894-3950. 

• A volunteer portal account will be created for you in Raptor once you have been approved as a mentor (this is the 

system that the front desk will use at the school in order to give you a nametag). Your login information will then be 

sent to you by Raptor via email.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT 

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found 

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant 

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting 

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership 

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. 

Custom Designed Swimming Pools

Service & Maintenance 

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities 

that allow them to: 

• Try new things. 

• Provide service to others. 

• Build self-confidence. 

• Reinforce ethical standards. 

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as 

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility 

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, 

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.

FOSTER CHILDREN: 

PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL) 

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. 

That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities 

arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out 

how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month. 

Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help 

prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long 

course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council 

for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s 

BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. 

Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change lives 

with hands-on community service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see 

www.ncjwhouston.org.

loving foster homes until they are adopted into carefully screened, forever 

homes.

foster care for our many rescued Dachshunds-in-need, currently awaiting 

adoption. Prior to their adoption, DREAM continues to pay for all 

medical care and monthly heart worm prevention. There is no long-term 

commitment required. Food, water, shelter and a soft place to rest is all 

you need to provide. The “love” just comes naturally.

Loving Arms Pet Placement has an assortment of wonderful dogs and cats 

hoping for their forever homes. We have all different types of small to 

large dogs, mixed breeds and many wonderful cats to choose from. 

We are a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats. If you are not ready to 

commit to adopting a dog or cat permanently, the animals also need 

foster families. Besides providing food, water and a safe place to sleep, 

foster families socialize the animals so they are people friendly. Include 

the animal in your daily home life inside your home. Get to know them as 

individuals so you can share personality traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes. 

Treat the animal like your own and train him/her, if possible. 

Although you may feel sadness when your foster animal is adopted, 

please know that your efforts helped to prepare the cat or dog for his/ 

her forever home. Visit Loving Arms Pet Placement website at www. 

lovingarmspetplacement.com or visit us at Petsmart on Highway 6 and 

FM 529 each Saturday from 11 AM until 5 PM.

January Is 

National Blood Donor Month 

Blood donors are ordinary people - high school students, factory 

and office workers, business executives, parents and grandparents 

and people from every walk of life. But they share one thing - a 

generous spirit, a desire to give back to their community and help 

others. Blood donors play an integral role in the delivery of modern 

healthcare. Many lifesaving medical treatments and procedures 

involve blood transfusions and would not be possible without a 

safe and reliable blood supply. 

The Red Cross is also a leader in research and testing to protect the 

safety of the blood supply. They were among the first to develop 

and implement testing for many infectious diseases including, HIV, 

hepatitis B and C viruses, West Nile virus and more recently the 

agent of Chagas disease. 

If you already donate blood, thank you! You are making a lifesaving 

contribution that benefits accident victims, cancer patients, 

surgical candidates, children with blood disorders and many 

others. If you have never donated blood, please consider doing so. 

Your donations are always in constant demand.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday celebrates the life and legacy of a man who brought hope 

and healing to America. We commemorate as well the timeless values he taught us through 

his example - the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service 

that so radiantly defined Dr. King’s character and empowered his leadership. On this holiday, 

we commemorate the universal, unconditional love, forgiveness and nonviolence that 

empowered his revolutionary spirit. 

Dr. King knew that it wasn’t enough just to talk the talk, that he had to walk the walk for his 

words to be credible. And so we commemorate on this holiday the man of action, who put 

his life on the line for freedom and justice every day, the man who braved threats and jail 

and beatings and who ultimately paid the highest price to make democracy a reality for all 

Americans. 

On this day we commemorate Dr. King’s great dream of a vibrant, multiracial nation united in 

justice, peace and reconciliation; a nation that has a place at the table for children of every 

race and room at the inn for every needy child. It is a day of interracial and intercultural 

cooperation and sharing. No other day of the year brings so many peoples from different 

cultural backgrounds together in such a vibrant spirit of brother and sisterhood. Whether 

you are African-American, Hispanic or Native American, whether you are Caucasian or Asian- 

American, you are part of the great dream Martin Luther King, Jr. had for America. This is not 

a black holiday; it is a peoples’ holiday. 

We commemorate on this holiday the ecumenical leader and visionary who embraced the 

unity of all faiths in love and truth. And though we take patriotic pride that Dr. King was 

an American, on this holiday we must also commemorate the global leader who inspired 

nonviolent liberation movements around the world. Indeed, on this day, programs 

commemorating my husband’s birthday are being observed in more than 100 nations. 

The Holiday commemorates America’s pre-eminent advocate of nonviolence - the man who 

taught by his example that nonviolent action is the most powerful, revolutionary force for 

social change available to oppressed people in their struggles for liberation. 

This holiday honors the courage of a man who endured harassment, threats and beatings and 

even bombings. We commemorate the man who went to jail 29 times to achieve freedom for 

others and who knew he would pay the ultimate price for his leadership, but kept on marching 

and protesting and organizing anyway. 

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is not only for celebration and remembrance, education and 

tribute, but above all a day of service. All across America on the Holiday, his followers perform 

service in hospitals and shelters and prisons and wherever people need some help. It is a 

day of volunteering to feed the hungry, rehabilitate housing, tutoring those who can’t read, 

mentoring at-risk youngsters, consoling the broken-hearted and a thousand other projects 

for building the beloved community of his dream. 

We call you to commemorate this Holiday by making your personal commitment to serve humanity 

with the vibrant spirit of unconditional love that was his greatest strength and which empowered 

all of the great victories of his leadership. And with our hearts open to this spirit of unconditional 

love, we can indeed achieve the Beloved Community of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream.

CURRIED CHICKEN 

You could make this on National Cream Puff Day January 12 th ! 

INGREDIENTS: 

1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces and skin removed 

Salt and ground black pepper to taste 

1 tablespoon paprika or to taste 

1 tablespoon butter 

1 apple, cored and chopped 

1 onion, chopped 

1 tablespoon curry powder or more to taste 

1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup 

1 cup half-and-half cream 

DIRECTIONS: 

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange the 

chicken pieces in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Season 

the chicken liberally with salt, pepper and the paprika, set aside. 

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the apple and 

onion to the melted butter, season with the curry powder and

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and 

the juices run clear, about 75 minutes. An instant-read thermometer 

inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone 

should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).Source: allrecipes.com
