RESIDENTS OF HARRIS COUNTY MUD 105
Best Trash picks up your trash on Tuesday and Friday. Your recycle
collection day will be Friday. Please have trash and recyclables out
to the curb by 7 AM.
On each regularly scheduled collection day, Best Trash will collect
residential refuse at the curbside.
Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings and fencing must be bundled in lengths
no greater than 4 feet with no branch diameter larger than 4 inches
and bundles weighing no more than 40 lbs. The bundling is required to
allow quick pickup and size limitations are required to avoid damage
to the compacting equipment.
Heavy/bulky items (appliances, furniture, carpet up to 1 room rolled
up 4 ft. wide and weighing less than 50 lbs) will be picked up either
collection day. By Federal Law, refrigerators, freezers or any other item
containing Freon must have the Freon drained and have an accompanying
bill to validate such service was performed.
Items excluded from normal collection are dirt, rocks, bricks, tires,
cement, batteries, motor or cooking oil, waste generated from a private
contractor or any items deemed to be hazardous materials. Best Trash
will leave a tag explaining the reasons for non-collection of the item.
An enhanced feature of the new provider will allow for collection of
items excluded by the contract if notified in advance. Best Trash will
meet with the customer prior to collection day to determine a price to
haul the non-contract items. If a resident does not notify Best Trash of
such a special pick-up before its scheduled day, Best Trash will leave
a notice for the resident to contact Best Trash during normal business
hours before the next scheduled pick up day.

Best Trash will collect paper, plastics, aluminum and tin cans
and glass (all colors) that are placed within the provided recycling

HARRIS COUNTY ALARM DETAIL
In order to increase compliance and spread awareness, our office is
requesting your assistance in informing residents in your community
through your HOA newsletter or your scheduled HOA meetings of the
need to obtain a permit for operating an alarm system, residential or
business, within unincorporated Harris County. Many residents and
businesses are unaware of the requirement to obtain an alarm permit
once an alarm system has been installed and activated by the alarm
company. Alarm systems are established and defined in the Local Government
Code 233 (subchapter D), as well as the authority to regulate,
adopt rules and impose penalties for unpermitted locations. Obtaining
the required permit will avoid the issuance of a citation and excessive
false alarm fees. The fee for current permit issuance is $35 with a yearly
renewal fee of $10. All permit fees are waived for senior citizens 65 years
or older. Under current guidelines, a permitted location is allowed
five (5) free false alarms annually. Any subsequent false alarms during
your permitted year are subject to a $75 fine that is billed to the permit
holder’s address. If a site has an active alarm system, yet does not have
a permit to operate such alarm, a false alarm may result in a Class C
citation, which could range up to $500.
Should you require a copy of the permit application form or would like
to review the regulations regarding permit requirements, you may do so
by visiting the Harris County Sheriff’s Office website at www.hcso.hctx./
net. The application can be printed from the website, then completed
and mailed to our office with the applicable fees. We are currently in
the planning stages of making the application and payment process
available on-line for the convenience to the public. Should you have
any questions, please contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Alarm
Detail at 713-755-4600 M-F, 8 AM - 5 PM.

BE SURE ADDRESS IS CLEAR FROM THE STREET
County officials want to remind residents of the Ordinance 5.3 requiring
that addresses or building numbers be legible and visible from the street.
The section states the numbers must be in Arabic numerals at least
four inches in height and clearly visible. The number should be placed
on, above or at the side of the main entrance so the number is clearly
visible from the public right away. Whenever a home entrance is more
than 50 feet from a public right away, a number should also be placed
at the end of a driveway or property entrance.
MAILBOX TAMPERING
When a mailbox is put into use for the purposes of sending and
receiving mail, it becomes federal property.
Mailbox tampering is considered any act that interferes with another
person’s letter box or other receptacle. This can include:
• destruction of the mailbox itself
• theft of mailbox contents
• the placement of items in a mail receptacle by persons
other than postal employees
• any action intended to obstruct or damage mail
or mailbox property
In short, anyone, other than mail recipients and postal employees,
should NOT touch a mailbox or its contents.
WATCH FOR KIDS WHILE DRIVING
The roads are once again crawling with school busses, teenage drivers
and kids in the crosswalk, so please slow down when going through the
neighborhood. Now that kids will be back on their way to school, it’s time
to double and triple check those intersections, just when you think it’s all
systems go, a late for school student will magically appear out of nowhere
and dart across the street when you least anticipate it. Thank you!
BE AWARE OF THEFT POTENTIAL
Many of us have a habit of leaving the garage door open when we are
working or relaxing in the backyard. Unfortunately, people in virtually
every neighborhood lose property to opportunistic thieves this way
every year. Bicycles and power tools are just a few of the commonly
stolen things and keep in mind that it only takes a matter of seconds
for something of significant value to “walk away.” Please keep those
doors down when you are not in eyesight of the garage.
SECURITY NOTE
Make it difficult for would-be thieves
We’ve seen the reports on local news shows: “Brazen thieves make
off with contents of cars parked in residential driveways.” And
we’ve heard neighbors tell of how “somebody broke into my car
last night.”
When all the facts of these stories are revealed, many times we learn
that the parked cars were not locked. Granted, some unconscionable
person(s) committed an illegal act (trespass, theft), but the
simple act of keeping car doors locked while a vehicle is parked in
your driveway can make your car less attractive to would-be thieves.
In addition, by removing purses, briefcases, cell phones, shopping
bags and other valuables from parked vehicles - whether in your
own driveway or a commercial parking lot - you’ll likely remove
temptation for a crime opportunity.
These are small steps that only take a few seconds and demonstrate
how being mindful of personal and home security can make a big
difference.

SCOOP YOUR PET’S POOP
Please remember to be respectful of your neighbors’ yards and the
community grounds. When you take your pet for a walk, come prepared
with a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else.
If your pet poops during your walk, please scoop and trash. It may
not be the most fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show that
you respect your fellow neighbors’ and our beautiful community.
BARKING DOGS
While it is true that dogs are born to bark, they were not born to
bark all day and night, driving your neighbors crazy. If you have a
dog that must stay outside, please do what you can to limit the
disturbance to your neighbors. You can find loads of information
about how to control it at www.barkingdogs.net.
If you are one of the neighbors suffering from the seemingly endless
noise of a neighbor’s barking dog, we hope that you will be able to
speak with the owner about it. In many cases, the neighbor is unaware
of the situation because, for one reason, they are away during
the day. If the owner is unwilling or unable to do anything about it,
you can call animal control at 281-999-3191 and have them do a
check on the dog for possible neglect and abuse. (They won’t always
come out for the barking alone.) You can also find more information
about the situation by looking on the website listed above.
Ideally, the neighbors will be able to work out something mutually
agreeable for everyone and every dog.
HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents.
While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running
at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many
children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could
result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.
Community Newsletter | May 2018
Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept
under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County,
Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor
or keep any unlicensed dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat
to become a stray.”
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following
circumstances:
1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in
length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable
of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question
2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle
3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does
not have access to sidewalk or street.”
While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you
work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly
restrained.
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place
for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not
only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area,
but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or
possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet.
To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly
restrained please contact:

Mother’s Day...May 13, 2018
Mother’s Day History and Fun Facts
Did you know that more phone calls are made on
Mother’s Day than on any other day of the year?
In fact, phone traffic has been known to spike by
nearly 40% on this holiday honoring motherhood.
It’s a traditional holiday that is observed
throughout the world in different ways. In the
U.S., mothers are most typically presented with
flowers, cards and other gifts. (Though in 2016,
about 55% of consumers took Mom out.) But
since this is common knowledge, we wanted to
go one step further and learn why Mother’s Day
exists at all. Here’s what we learned.
The History of Mother’s Day in America
The American version of Mother’s Day was first
celebrated in 1908. It became an official holiday
just 6 years later in 1914. Anna Jarvis is credited
with creating the U.S. holiday and leading the
charge to have it officially added to the national
calendar. She first conceived of the idea after the
death of her mother, Anna Reeves Jarvis, in 1905.
The story goes like this:
• With financial backing from John Wanamaker
- owner of the famous department store chain
- she organized the first-ever celebration at a
Methodist Church in Grafton, WV in May 1908. She
wanted to recognize the sacrifices that mothers
make for their children.
• On that same day, thousands also attended a
Mother’s Day event at a Wanamaker’s in Philadelphia.
• Building on the success of that first Mother’s Day
event, Jarvis began a 6-year campaign to have it
added to the national calendar. She argued that
American holidays were biased towards male
achievements.
• By 1912 Mother’s Day had been widely adopted
at the state and local levels.
• In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a
measure officially establishing the 2 nd Sunday
in May as Mother’s Day.
• Jarvis’ vision for Mother’s Day was a day of personal
celebration. To her, the day involved wearing
a white carnation in honor of mothers and visiting
one’s mother or attending a church service.
• Florists, greeting card companies and other
retailers had other plans though and by 1920
Jarvis was fully disillusioned by what the holiday
had become, going so far as to openly campaign
against all Mother’s Day profiteers. She went on
to file lawsuits against groups using the term
“Mother’s Day” and spent most of her personal
wealth in legal fees.
• After pushing for 6 years to make the day official,
Jarvis eventually disowned the holiday
and actively lobbied to have it removed from
the American calendar. This effort of course was
unsuccessful
Early Mother’s Day Incarnations
While Anna Jarvis is credited with the official
creation of the holiday, her mother - Anna Reeves
Jarvis - is known for having founded “Mother’s
Day Work Clubs” back in the 1860’s. The goal of
these clubs was to teach local women how to
properly care for their children…a tradition that
is still in existence today with local Moms groups!
Another similar effort aimed at united and celebrating
mothers included Julia Ward Howe’s
“Mother’s Day Proclamation,” a call to action
for mothers to unite in promoting world peace.
Howe later campaigned for a Mother’s Peace Day
to be recognized every June 2 nd . However, none
of these or other efforts in the 1800’s ever caught
on beyond the local level.
Traditional Mother’s Day Celebrations
The primary means of celebrating moms on
Mother’s Day in the U.S. continues to be with
flowers and other gifts. In fact, Anna Jarvis would
be supremely disappointed to learn that it has
become one of the biggest holidays for consumer
spending.
However, the holiday has also been used to
advance feminist causes. For example, in the
1970’s women’s groups were known to use the
attention generated by the holiday to create
awareness for the need for equal rights and
access to childcare.
In many other parts of the world, the timing of
Mother’s Day aligns more closely with the historical
observance of “Mothering Sunday.” Largely a
European tradition, Mothering Sunday fell on the
fourth Sunday in Lent and was originally seen as a
time when the faithful would return home to the
church. Over time, the observance of Mothering
Sunday faded and eventually merged with the
secular traditions associated with the American
Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day Fun Facts
• About 25% of all flowers purchased throughout
the year are for Mother’s Day
• Carnations are often associated with Mother’s
Day - they are said to be made from the tears’ of
Jesus’ mother Mary when she wept at his feet.
• Pink and red carnations mean that a person’s
mother is living, while white carnations are symbolic
of mothers who have passed away.
• Approximately $21 billion is spent on Mother’s
Day gifts and celebrations.
• In what was formerly Yugoslavia, children
would tie up their mothers on Mother’s Day.
The only way she could get free was to pay them
with treats.
• In Greek mythology, the maternal goddess Rhea
was honored during the spring festivals.
No matter how you observe this holiday, there is
no doubt that our mothers have a great influence
on our lives - not just on Mother’s Day but every
day of the year.

WINE AND A BITE TO FURTHER THE FIGHT
Sunday, June 3, 2018, 6-8 PM

Please join us for an incredible evening of Food, Drinks and FUN as we
raise critical funds to support pediatric cancer research! You will

the one-of-a-kind Armadillo Palace menu that will be paired with a wine
or craft beer. We will have live music and a silent auction. You will also
hear from one of the oncologists from the Solid Tumor team at Texas
Children’s Cancer Center on how our support has directly made an impact
on her research to improve current treatment protocols for solid
tumors and to ultimately find a cure for these cancers.
The Laurel’s Army Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) organization,
formed by a Cypress, Texas family whose daughter bravely fought and
won, her battle with a rare cancerous solid tumor in 2010. Through this battle,
we became aware of the severe lack of funding available for pediatric
cancer research and institutions that care for these young warriors depend
greatly on money raised by nonprofits like The Laurel’s Army Foundation.
For more information, please visit us at www.laurelsarmy.com or find us
on Facebook and Twitter @LaurelsArmy. PRICE: $50 per person, tickets

MEMORIAL DAY
Monday May 28, 2018
Memorial Day, as a formal holiday, is an
American holiday. It is celebrated to remember
military service members who have died
in the line of duty. Memorial Day was originally
called Decoration Day, as the holiday
was centered on decorating the graves of
those who had fallen in the Civil War.
HISTORY
There is much debate as to the location
where Memorial Day originated from. Sometime
during the late years of the Civil War
(1861-1865), groups began decorating the
graves of their loved ones who had died in
battle. Depending on the source, there are
perhaps over a dozen locations that claim to
be the town where the practice began being
observed - the birthplace of Memorial Day.
Some of these towns include Columbus,
Mississippi; Macon, Georgia; Richmond,
Virginia; Boalsburg, Pennsylvania and Carbondale,
Illinois.
There is evidence that the tradition could
have started in towns in either the North
or the South. VA.gov states that on April 25,
1866, in Columbus, Mississippi, a local group
of women went to decorate the graves of
Confederate soldiers. They noticed barren
graves of Union soldiers and decided to
place flowers there in remembrance. Another
site, usmemorialday.org, states that a
hymn published in 1867 called “Kneel
Where Our Loved Ones are Sleeping” carried
a dedication “To the Ladies of the South
who are Decorating the Graves of the Confederate
Dead.” Wikipedia says that by 1865
the practice was already widespread in the
North. It is likely that the tradition began in
many locations independently, with many
variations on the same idea. Over time, as
word spread, these traditions could have
expanded from town to town.
In 1866, in a town in New York called Waterloo,
a drugstore owner named Henry Welles
suggested that the town shops close on May
5 th to commemorate the soldiers buried at
Waterloo Cemetery who had died during
the Civil War. Two years later in Waterloo,
on May 5, 1868, General John Logan issued
a declaration that Decoration Day should be
observed nationwide. The declaration said
that May 30 th would be designated as a day
to decorate the graves of “comrades who
died in defense of their country.” According
to History.com, President James Garfield
gave a speech at Arlington National Cemetery
on that day. In 1966, President Lyndon
Johnson and the Congress of the United
States stated that Waterloo was the official
birthplace of Memorial Day and the official
date of origin was May 30, 1868.
In 1882, the name of the holiday was
changed from Decoration Day to Memorial
Day. After World War I, the holiday was
expanded to remember soldiers from all
American Wars. In 1971, Richard Nixon made
Memorial Day a national holiday that was to
be celebrated on the last Monday in May.
MEMORIAL DAY TODAY
Today Memorial Day is celebrated across
the United States. Regardless of where it
originated, it is an important holiday that remembers
those that died for the country and
serves to remind people of the costly price of
war. There are many formal ceremonies that
take place in observance. Most of these are
held in local communities and can be found
by contacting a local Veterans of Foreign
Wars office or local city government agency.
A few traditional events are listed below.
Laying of the wreath at Arlington Cemetery -
Often, the President of the United States will
lay a wreath at Arlington Cemetery on the
annual observance of Memorial Day. This
will usually be accompanied by a speech.
Remembrance and Moments of Silence -
People nationwide participate in parades
and still partake in decorating graves with
wreaths or flowers. Many people will pause
for moments of silence in memoriam.
MOVIES TO WATCH ON MEMORIAL DAY
The Great Escape (1963) - Starring Steve
McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Garner

GARDENING TIPS FOR MAY
Warm weather means our gardens and landscapes are growing
fast. Here are some tasks to keep your landscape beautiful and
productive:
Flowers: Time to plant summer blooming perennials and annuals
including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane, lobularia, sunflowers,
yellow bells, pride of Barbados, duranta and bat-faced
cuphea.
Vegetables: May is a great time to plant, from seed or nursery
plants, okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter squash, pumpkins,
basil, peppers, lima beans, eggplant, garlic chives and
Malabar greens. If you don’t want to dedicate an area of your
yard, consider planting here and there in your flowerbeds. Edible
landscaping is a popular new trend!
Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge or
straight sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know
how long to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”.
Weeding: Hand pull or hoe weeds while they are still young or
better yet, maintain a 3” layer of mulch in all vegetable and flowerbeds
to deter weeds from getting a start.
Pruning: Remove spent blooms on spring and summer annuals
to promote new blooms.
Fertilizing: Fertilize flowerbeds and vegetable gardens w/slow
release organic fertilizer.
Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent
light sprinkling.
Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-May. Clean bird
feeders! Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito
breeding spots.
