DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IN 2019
Spring ahead March 10th, 2019
When does Daylight Saving Time 2019 begin and when does DST end? The Old Farmer’s Almanac
(around since the beginning of time or, at least, Benjamin Franklin’s day) answers your frequent
questions …
WHAT IS DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME? Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of moving the clocks
forward one hour from Standard Time for the summer months and changing them back again in
the fall. The general idea is that this allows us all to make better use of natural daylight. However,
DST has many detractors. Note that the term is “Daylight Saving Time” and not “Daylight Savings
Time” with an “s” at the end of “Saving.” (The word “saving” is singular because it acts as part
of an adjective rather than a verb.)
WHEN IS DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IN 2019? To remember which way to set their clocks, folks often use the expression, “Spring forward, fall
back.” DST begins on Sunday, March 10, 2019 at 2 AM. Remember to “spring forward” in the spring and set your clocks forward one hour
(i.e., losing one hour). DST ends on Sunday, November 3, 2019 at 2 AM. At this time, we “fall back” in the fall by setting clocks back one hour
(i.e., gaining one hour). The exceptions to DST are Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME TODAY: The current daylight saving period was established with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which went into
effect in 2007. As a result, most Americans now spring forward (turn clocks ahead and lose an hour) on the second Sunday in March (at 2
AM.) and fall back (turn clocks back and gain an hour) on the first Sunday in November (at 2 AM.). However, farmers’ organizations lobby
Congress against the practice, preferring early daylight to dry their fields and a Standard Time sunset for ending their work at a reasonable
hour. Some farmers point out that the Daylight Saving Time is deceptively misnamed. “It is a gimmick that changes the relationship between
‘Sun’ time and ‘clock’ time but saves neither time nor daylight,” says Katherine Dutro, spokesperson for the Indiana Farm Bureau. One Canadian
researcher likened an increase in traffic accidents to the onset of Daylight Saving Time. Other experts insist that the extra hour of
daylight reduces crime. Source: www.almanac.com/content/when-daylight-saving-time#

March 2019 | Green Trails III / Green Trails Estates

(GT ESTATES) DEBRIS
IN SEWER DRAINS
Please refrain from depositing any debris (lawn clippings, leaves, pet
waste, motor oil, etc.) into the streets or storm drains. Disposing of
debris in the street or other portions of the storm water drainage system
can create problems. Flooding takes place when the system becomes
blocked with debris. This can create a flooding potential that could
result in property damage. The water quality is impacted if you’ve used
chemicals on your lawn or garden. In addition, pet waste left on yards
can contribute to contaminated run off. Grass clippings and leaves left
in the storm water system contribute to system wear and can destroy
the underground system. Please make sure you dispose of your lawn
clippings, leaves and other debris in a proper manner.
(GT ESTATES) Security
Neighborhood security is provided by the Harris County Constables
Precinct 5 Office, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. We also have an
additional contract with them (Contract 50 - in conjunction with the
other sections of Green Trails and Windsor Park Lakes).
To contact the Constable’s Office:
• Emergency - 911
• Dispatch: 281-463-6666. PLEASE CALL THEM IF YOU SEE ANYTHING
SUSPICIOUS OR NEED SECURITY INFORMATION. The Constable’s office
encourages residents to call if they see any suspicious or bothersome
activity. Please keep your vehicles locked at all times to reduce crime of
opportunity.
(GT ESTATES) Vacation Watch
Updated 10/14: Residents of Constable Precinct 5 contract subdivisions,
which include Estates of Green Trails, can have their homes checked by
a drive-by patrol officer while they are away on vacation. Please contact
the Constable’s office at 281-463-6666 or complete a Vacation Watch
Form, which can be found online at www.harriscountytx.gov/pct5 or
www.constablepct5.com - You will need to complete the form and submit
it to the Constable’s office one week before you leave! If your home is
monitored by a private security alarm system, please be sure to tell them
you are in Green Trails Contract 50 with the Harris County Constable in
Precinct 5. You must also have an Alarm Permit with the Harris County
Sheriff’s office. The application can be found on the following website:
www.hcso.hctx.net/forms/forms.asp
(GT ESTATES) Trash Service
Estates of Green Trails has bi-weekly trash pick-up on Wednesdays
and Saturdays by Best Trash (Phone 281-313-2378). Should you be
overlooked by Best Trash on a pickup day, please call Best Trash directly
and register any complaints with Sterling ASI (Phone 281-491-0266). They
will follow up with Best Trash about the problem. Holidays, which fall
on our pickup days mean that trash will be picked up the next normally
scheduled service day. The following is a list of holidays observed by
Best Trash: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Please have your trash ready for
pickup by 7 AM on pickup days. Landscaping debris, such as large bags of
grass clippings, tree branches/limbs, etc. will be picked up either day, but
it must be carried to the end of your driveway and left there for pickup;
you can bring these heavy items out the night before, but please not
several days in advance of pickup. Your neighbors appreciate it! Heavy
household items such as hot water heaters, washers, etc. are considered
“heavy trash” and are picked up on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
All other trash will be picked up “at the back door” (outside the gate
beside the garage, etc.) by Best Trash. Please be sure trash is visible and/
or accessible to them, and please keep all pets safely away from that area
of your yard. We pay for “back door” pickup, so that is where the men
look for your trash.

Katy ISD Names
New Superintendent
Of Schools
At the Katy ISD Work Study meeting held
January 14 th , Board of Trustees voted
7-0 to name Ken Gregorski as the new
superintendent of schools. Gregorski
is a veteran educator with 26 years of
experience in public education. Having
served as a teacher, associate principal,
principal, assistant superintendent and
deputy superintendent in school districts of different sizes and varying
needs, he has demonstrated the ability to lead with determination,
vision and a deep understanding of a community’s priorities. He is also
the father of two secondary students currently enrolled in Katy ISD
schools. “It is my mission to provide leadership and direction for Katy
ISD to ensure our educational system is based upon the needs of our
students, standards of excellence and equity and on community goals,”
said new Superintendent of Schools Ken Gregorski. During his tenure as
deputy superintendent, Gregorski played an integral role in laying the
groundwork for the current model of student learning in Katy ISD through
his supervision of the School Leadership and Support Department,
Human Resources and the Athletics Department. As superintendent of
schools, it is expected that Gregorski will maintain Katy ISD’s current
direction, sustain its continuity of leadership and guide the District
toward fulfilling the goals of its five-year strategic plan.
Katy Virtual School
Objective: The Katy ISD Virtual School’s primary objective is to expand
the learning opportunities for our students by offering choice and
flexibility for challenging online courses developed by Katy ISD.
Vision: Online learning is an essential part of today’s learning culture
that can provide our students with the opportunity to acquire required
credit from anywhere and at any time. Online learning offers the unique
experience of self-directed learning that will instill advanced learning
skills as well as the Katy ISD Instructional Cornerstones in our students
and better prepare them for life and college. In today’s world, this model
of learning is increasingly in high demand and is a cost effective way

Katy ISD Names
New Junior High
After Joe M. Adams
Katy Independent School District Board of
Trustees approved to name the District’s
newest junior high school after Joe M.
Adams. The new school is currently
being built in the southwest quadrant
of the District in the Cross Creek Ranch
subdivision. Adams served on the Katy
ISD Board of Trustees for 27 years in every
Board position and continues to be actively
involved in various school and community functions. Adams served as
director on the Gulf Coast Area Association of School Boards and was also
part of the Board of Directors for the Texas Association of School Boards
(TASB). During his time on that Board, he earned the distinguished honor
of being a graduate of Leadership TASB and was named a Master Trustee.
Adams was a Keep Encouraging Youth toward Success (KEYS) mentor
and volunteer at Taylor High School where he was named Mentor of the
Year in 2013. He actively participated as a Promise to Read and Junior
Achievement volunteer. Adams was also a member of various PTA/PTO
organizations and a Taylor High School Band Booster over the years. He
also participated in various bond and attendance boundary modification
committees and was a founding director of the Katy ISD Education
Foundation. Adams’ dedication to these initiatives showcased and
reflected his character, vision and values. His commitment to Katy went
beyond his involvement in the District as he has served as a member,
deacon and adult Sunday school director at Kingsland Baptist Church, a
Katy Christian Ministries volunteer and a member of the Katy A&M Club,
Houston A&M Club, 12 th Man Association and IMPACT. Adams was also a
former soccer coach for local leagues. During his 27-year tenure at the
Katy ISD Board of Trustees, Adams experienced the district’s exponential
growth and was instrumental in ensuring that Katy ISD’s reputation for
educational excellence continued. He brought a wealth of knowledge to
his position and along with his genuine passion for public schools, made
decisions based on what was in the best interest of the District’s students
and employees. His contributions impacted thousands of students and
their families. In addition to his steadfast devotion to the students of
Katy ISD, his professional career consisted of 30 years in the oil and gas
industry working for several serviced/drilling companies in New Orleans,
Dallas, London and Cairo, Egypt. He is also a small-business owner in
Katy, TX.
Adams holds a B.B.A in Marketing from Texas A&M University. He and his
wife, Donna, have two children and seven grandchildren.

Sleep In Heavenly Peace
Every night in the Houston area, children sleep on couches, bean bag
chairs or the floor because they don’t have a bed, especially since
Hurricane Harvey. A local chapter of Sleep In Heavenly Peace (SHP) has
been started for Central-Western Houston, including Katy and Fulshear.
SHP is a nationwide 501(c)3 charity that builds and delivers beds to
needy children using donated materials and volunteer labor. Sponsoring
organizations (companies, churches, fire departments, etc.) donate
materials and provide 20-40+ volunteers to produce 20-40+ beds in
half-day “Builds” and SHP delivers to needy families. The half day bed
Builds are an excellent Teambuilding or Service Project for organizations
wanting to make their community better. For organizations unable to
provide 20-40+ volunteers, labor can be supplemented from Scouting
troops or high school students. Material costs for 20-40+ beds amount to
$3,500-$7,000. SHP receives requests for beds at SHPbed.org in English
or Spanish. Organizations interested in sponsoring a half-day bed Build
can contact 832-795-2759. SHP was founded by Luke Mickleson in Twin
Falls ID in 2012 and has since grown to 130+ chapters nationwide. SHP

Rowe on “Returning the Favor” on the Facebook Watch Network. In 2018,
Luke Mickleson was named one of ten Heroes of the Year by CNN.

MARCH GARDENING TIPS
VEGETABLES
• Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans
and pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, canta
loupe, okra (if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F.
or higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and
watermelon.
LAWN
• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this
part of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).
• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine,
use ONLY the variety Floratam for best pest resistance.
See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.
TREES AND SHRUBS
• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible.
In shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting
a dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine,
vinca or one of the prostrate junipers.
• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early March.
However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they
have bloomed.
• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer
analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square
feet of garden planting area. Early March is the ideal time to
fertilize landscape plants because you give them food just
before the spring growing season starts.
