HONORING MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. 

Martin Luther King, Jr., an American clergyman and Nobel Prize winner was one of the 

principal leaders of the American civil rights movement and a prominent advocate of 

nonviolent protest. King’s challenges to segregation and racial discrimination in the 1950s 

and 1960s helped convince many white Americans to support the cause of civil rights in 

the United States. After his assassination in 1968, King became a symbol of protest in the 

struggle for racial justice. 

In 1957, King helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), an organization 

of black churches and ministers that aimed to challenge racial segregation. As 

SCLC’s president, King became the organization’s dominate personality and its primary 

intellectual influence. He was responsible for much of the organization’s fundraising, which 

he frequently conducted in conjunction with preaching engagements in Northern churches. 

SCLC sought to complement the NAACP’s legal efforts to dismantle segregation through the 

courts, with King and other SCLC leaders encouraging the use of nonviolent direct action to 

protest discrimination. These activities included marches, demonstrations and boycotts. 

“I Have a Dream” 

King and other black leaders organized the 1963 March on Washington, a massive protest 

in Washington, D.C. for jobs and civil rights. On August 28, 1963, King delivered the 

keynote address to an audience of more than 200,000 civil rights supporters. His “I Have 

a Dream” speech expressed the hopes of the civil rights movement in oratory as moving 

as any in American history. 

After his death, King came to represent black courage and achievement, high moral 

leadership and the ability of Americans to address and overcome racial divisions. Perhaps 

the most important memorial is the national holiday in King’s honor, designated by the 

Congress of the United States in 1983 and observed on the third Monday in January, a 

day that falls on or near King’s birthday of January 15 th . 

INSPIRING QUOTES FROM MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. 

Martin Luther King, Jr., American Leader, January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968 

Martin Luther King Jr.’s words have continued to resonate with audiences, decades later. As the country prepares to observe Martin Luther 

King Day on Monday, January 21st, here are some inspiring MLK quotes to remind us of life’s daily challenges and accomplishments: 

• “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” 

• “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.” 

• “I have decided to stick to love... Hate is too great a burden to bear.” 

• “Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.” 

• “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns 

to the broader concerns of all humanity.” 

• “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way” 

• “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” 

• “Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way 

to be happy is to seek happiness for others.”

MO’ MONEY, 

NO PROBLEMS! 

STAY DISCIPLINED 

WITH YOUR SAVINGS 

• Just do it! Pay yourself first! 

• Gather all important financially-related documents and receipts to a 

central location. File them so you will be able to easily find the items 

you need in the future. Consider a computer based financial program 

so you can keep track of every dime you spend - financial control is a 

special form of power! 

• Spending every dime and more? Start by cutting back on a few items 

per week and putting away that money. Pay yourself first. Just say no 

to spending more than you have. 

• Ask for direct deposit at work if they offer it - you’re saving money and 

you don’t even see it. A savings plan at work that pays you a “matching 

contribution” is the fastest way to save. Pay yourself first! 

• Use credit cards responsibly make sure you can make the monthly 

payment. Ideally pay the balance off each month. You will never have 

a late payment (now as much as $75) and you will never pay interest 

to others at the very high rates credit cards charge. 

• Financial freedom will be worth everything you put into it. 

Don’t want to work forever - choose to save! 

TOP SAVING MISTAKES 

• Not modifying your spending habits and committing to save money. 

• Not taking advantage of your company’s match in a 401k plan or 

getting involved in a defined contribution plan. 

• Not appropriately/correctly allocating your assets to meet a specific 

goal or time horizon (diversification is important). 

• Not setting a specific dollar target or financial goal. 

• Not knowing how much you have, where you are spending your 

money and how much you need to save for the future (failure to plan 

for retirement). 

• Cashing out your retirement plan - should roll over to an IRA or your 

new company’s retirement plan.

NINE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME 

FEEL COZY AND EMBRACE YOU WITH 

WARMTH DURING THE WINTER MONTHS 

Candles and warm colors can make you feel cozy inside when the 

weather outside turns cold and dreary. Here are nine ways you can 

make your home feel more cozy: 

• Add warm colors. Whether you paint your walls a sun-kissed 

gold, cover a sofa with a warm-toned slipcover or simply add 

pillows or a throw blanket in a “hot” shade, you can quickly make 

a room look brighter and feel cozier with the right color. 

• Play with texture. Plush upholstery and flannel bedding can 

provide your home with a soft, relaxing touch. To make texture 

interesting, introduce a variety: Choose a throw blanket with an 

open weave, such as chenille, for a twill sofa with a tight, smooth 

weave. The contrast provides richness and warmth. 

• Illuminate “feel good” objects. Lighting shoos away winter’s 

shadows, but it can also cast our focus on fair-weather days. By 

placing artful groupings of mementos and photographs beneath a 

lamp on an end table, you can draw attention to objects you love 

and memories that warm your heart. 

• Bring the outdoors in. Plants and fresh flowers can breathe 

life into your home - actually imparting oxygen into the air - and 

remind you of gentler days. For a unique twist on floral arranging, 

use a small birdbath as your “vase.” People are always looking for 

pedestals for their large vases. A birdbath is both. For an elegant 

wintertime arrangement, set a large candle in the bath’s waterfilled 

center, place quince around the candle’s base (they provide 

a mild citrusy scent) and incorporate late-season hydrangeas 

(they’re green) and berry-laden branches. Place in a quiet corner, 

in a foyer or bathroom. 

• Work on spatial relationships. The sizes and shapes of your 

furnishings are important - variety adds interest. And this time 

of year more than any other, how you arrange these pieces is 

important, too. As a holiday hostess or host, you need to be able 

to see, talk to and reach your guests. For optimal coziness, create 

conversation groupings by moving furnishings closer together - a 

guest needing to rise to place a mug on a coffee table is a no-no. 

• Get yourself a comfy chair. A large, comfy chair to land in at 

the end of the day is the ultimate refuge from the cold world. 

Choose one with a high back and an inherent sense of softness 

about the upholstery for visual warmth and comfortable seating 

is recommended. Create the full “chair ensemble” with a standing 

lamp and end table and set the grouping in an intimate corner. 

• Cover your “ground.” Nothing warms up a bare floor quicker than 

an area rug. Don’t underestimate the visual warmth it provides as 

well, especially in sunburst tones. Also, the pile in some Indian and 

Pakistani rugs made using vegetable dyes gives you the option of 

making them look even “warmer.” From one angle, the colors look 

muted and soft, from another, they appear deeper and brighter. 

Choose the brighter angle for added winter warmth. 

• Light a candle. This literal spark of warmth works in any decor 

and in any room. Added visual warmth and design cachet can be 

achieved by placing candles in hurricane lamps made of ambertoned 

glass or in a grouping of holders that look like woven vines. 

• Alter your senses - with scents. Colorful, multi-textured 

potpourri - a mixture of scented preserved leaves, nuts, fruit slices, 

seedpods and pinecones – artfully arranged in a favorite bowl 

provides a vibrant focal point on a coffee or end table and enlivens 

a room with a pleasant aroma to lighten spirits and freshen the air. 

The natural aromas of fresh flowers, even the less heady varieties, 

for their soft, understated scents with the promise of warmer days 

to come, is a favorite. 


ANIMAL INFORMATION 

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. 

PET ID TAGS 

Folks - as soon as the vet gives your young pets 

their Rabies shot remember to get their ID tags. 

The Rabies tag lists the name, phone number and 

address of the vet. So! All you need to do is put the 

Rabies tag onto the pet’s collar and leave it there 

all the time. That way, if the pet gets loose, anyone 

finding him or her can look at the tag to see the 

vet’s phone number and call to report the lost 

animal. Better yet, add another tag to your pet’s 

collar that lists the dog or cat’s name and your own 

phone number or address. You can get these from 

any pet store. When a pet has these but goes astray, 

anyone finding it can call you and you can go get 

him or her right away. Your pet will be very glad to 

see you! A happy pet is a loving pet. 

TOO QUIET AFTER THE HOLIDAYS? 

After the busy, activity-filled holidays, does your 

home seem too quiet? Do you miss the sound of 

little feet padding around? There are pets still 

in need of temporary shelter. Would your family 

like to help a dog or cat in need? Loving Arms 

Pet Placement is a foster-based rescue for dogs 

and cats and needs foster families. 

While fostering can be challenging, knowing 

that you helped an animal when it most 

needed shelter and security, then helped it find 

its forever home will give you endless joy. Tell 

Loving Arms Pet Placement in what capacity 

you can help. Can your home accommodate 

only small animals or can you foster big dogs? 

Can you handle puppies and kittens or only 

mature animals? Can you foster short-term or 

longer? LAPP has an application on our website 

for those interested in fostering. 

Loving Arms Pet Placement goes to great 

lengths to restore the health of dogs and cats 

who come into our rescue. Our vet bills are 

high. With the additional mouths to feed, our 

fosters’ food bills are more than usual. One 

way to donate to Loving Arms - without using 

your own money - is to register our rescue 

with your Kroger card. To donate “painlessly” 

to Loving Arms Pet Placement, go to www. 

krogercommunityrewards.com, enter CT571, 

click on Loving Arms Pet Placement to attach 

our rescue to your Kroger card. Each time you 

scan your card, Kroger donates money to LAPP. 

We also have a Wish List on our website at www. 

lovingarmspetplacement.com. 

Visit Loving Arms Pet Placement website at 

www.lovingarmspetplacement.com or visit us 

at Petco (FM1960 at Eldridge) on 

Saturdays from 11 AM until 4 PM. 

Loving Arms Pet Placement is a non-profit 

501 (c)(3) organization created to address the 

problems of stray and abandoned cats and dogs 

in Houston and Harris County. Our organization 

is comprised of dedicated volunteers who 

foster animals in their homes as an alternative 

to taking the animal to a shelter. 

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. 

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:

CFISD BOARD APPROVES 2019-2020 INSTRUCTIONAL CALENDAR 

The CFISD Board of Trustees approved the calendar committee’s recommendations for the 2019-2020 instructional calendar during its 

regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, December 10 th . 

House Bill 1 (79 th Texas Legislature) mandates that instruction for the school year may not begin before the fourth Monday in August. 

For the 2019-2020 instructional year, the earliest start date is August 26 th - which will serve as the first day of school. 

In the fall semester of 2017, a calendar committee was organized to develop calendars for both the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 school years. 

The committee was made up of district-wide representation, including teachers, parents, community members, campus administrators 

and support staff. Developing both calendars at the same time allowed the school Board to vote on next year’s calendar earlier than in past 

years. The committee worked to construct the calendars using the 75,600 minutes needed to complete a school year now required by law. 

The committee recommended a calendar to the school board that will conclude the 2019-2020 school year on May 28, 2020. 

In its meetings, the committee discussed various components of developing the instructional calendars before arriving at a consensus. 

The 2019-2020 calendar recommendation presented to the Board of Trustees included: 

Students begin school on Monday, Aug. 26, 2019; 

Labor Day, September 2, 2019, is a student/staff holiday; 

A five-day Thanksgiving holiday (Nov. 25-29, 2019); 

A 10-day winter break (Dec. 23, 2019-Jan. 3, 2020); 

A five-day spring break March 9-13, 2020; 

Good Friday, April 10, 2020, is a student/staff holiday; 

The school year will end on May 28, 2020 for students and 

February 17 th and May 29, 2020 are designated as inclement weather makeup days. 

To download a copy of the 2019-2020 school calendar, visit the CFISD website at www.cfisd.net/en/calendar/.

Safe & Healthy Kids 

TEACH .... YOUR CHILDREN TO DEAL WITH PEER PRESSURE 

Parents usually value children who try to please and are obedient. 

Parents may not realize that learning to disagree with someone and to 

make independent decisions starts at an early age. Decision making is an 

important skill to teach your children. If children have been taught never 

to disagree with anyone, parents may need to help them practice saying 

“no” to their friends. Being able to say “no” in every day activities and 

express their opinion helps children say “no” to alcohol and drug use. 

MAKE.... FAMILY RULES 

Develop family rules about the use of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs. 

Make it clear to children in the family that they may not drink alcohol, 

smoke cigarettes or use any other drugs. When children break any 

family rules, provide reasonable, appropriate consequences. Be careful 

about using severe punishments for small incidents of misbehavior. 

Punishment becomes ineffective when it is over used. 

PROVIDE .... HEALTHY CREATIVE ACTIVITIES 

Participate in hobbies, school events and family activities with your children. 

Sharing fun strengthens bonds between children and parents. Plan your 

times together carefully. If all of your fun activities focus on movies, theme 

parks or sports events, you and your children will give your attention to 

the activity rather than to each other. Simple activities like taking walks 

together, reading together or sitting around the kitchen provide time to 

focus your attention on the children. Children who are left alone or who are 

lonely and bored will seek friends, acceptance and stimulation with others 

who may influence them to participate in harmful activities. 

TEAM UP .... WITH OTHER PARENTS 

Join other parents to keep track of where your children are, who they are with 

and what they are doing. When parents form a “safety network” with other 

parents, it’s much harder for kids to become involved in undesirable activities. 

Tell your neighbors and the parents of your children’s’ friends to let you know 

if they see your children doing something they shouldn’t be doing. 

TALK ... WITH YOUR KIDS ABOUT ALCOHOL & OTHER DRUGS 

Let your children know that not everyone drinks, smokes or uses drugs. 

MOST people do not use mind altering chemicals. It’s OK not to use 

alcohol or drugs. Point out that anyone under age 21 is still growing 

physically and that alcohol and other drugs will harm the developing 

body. 

LEARN .... TO REALLY LISTEN TO YOUR CHILDREN 

Turn off the TV. Stop what you’re doing. Give your children your full 

attention. Don’t interrupt, give advice or preach while your children are 

talking. Ask questions to help clarify their thinking. 

HELP .... YOUR CHILDREN FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES 

Your children will feel good about themselves when you praise efforts 

rather than accomplishments. Correct behavior by criticizing the 

behavior rather than the child. Remember, if you tell children they are 

“bad, ugly, mean, naughty, dumb,” etc., they will think of themselves 

that way and act the way you have described them. 

LEAD .... YOUR CHILDREN TO DEVELOP STRONG VALUES 

Develop family standards about the kinds of behavior that are expected 

of family members. Decide what you family stands for and refer to “our 

community” and what “we believe” and how “we handle problems.” 

BE ....A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR YOUR CHILDREN 

Your behavior, habits and attitudes about alcohol and other drugs make 

a strong impression on your children. In homes where children do not 

know whether their parents approve or disapprove of the use of alcohol 

or other drugs, children are likely to assume that their parents accept the 

use of those substances. 

KNOW .... WHAT TO DO IF YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM 

If the use of alcohol or other drugs creates any kind of problems for your 

family, call one of the councils on alcohol and drug abuse listed. Most 

provide free counseling.

A HEALTHY, HAPPY NEW YEAR: 

11 SMART TIPS 

1. Read to your children every day. Start by the age of six months. 

Reading to children shows them the importance of communication 

and motivates them to become readers. It also provides a context to 

discuss issues and learn what is on your child’s mind. 

2. Make your children feel loved and important. Kids develop a 

sense of self-worth early in life. They get it from their parents. Listen 

to what your children have to say. Assure them that they are loved 

and safe. Celebrate their individuality and tell them what makes them 

special and what you admire about them. 

3. Provide your child with a tobacco-free environment. Indoor air 

pollution from tobacco increases ear infections, chest infections and 

even Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. If you smoke, consider quitting. 

Remember, the most important predictor of whether your children 

will grow up to be smokers is whether you smoke. Make your home a 

smoke-free zone. 

4. Pay attention to nutrition. Nutrition makes a big difference in how 

kids grow, develop and learn. Good nutrition is a matter of balance. 

Provide foods from several food groups at each meal. Emphasize 

foods that are less processed, such as whole grain breads and cereals 

and fresh fruits and vegetables. Review your child’s diet with your 

pediatrician for suggestions. 

5. Do a “childproofing” survey of your home. A child’s-eye view home 

survey should systematically go from room to room, removing all the 

“booby traps” that await the curious toddler or preschooler. Think of 

poisons, small objects, sharp edges, knives, firearms and places to fall. 

6. Make sure immunizations are up to date. Review your child’s 

immunization record with your pediatrician. Make sure your child is 

current on recommended immunizations. 

8. Prevent violence by setting good examples. Hitting, slapping and 

spanking teaches children that it is acceptable to hit other people to 

solve problems. Non-physical forms of discipline work better in the long 

run. Remember that words can hurt too. 

9. Monitor your children’s “media.” Monitor what your children see 

and hear on television, in movies and in music. Children are affected by 

what they see and hear, particularly in these times of violent images. Talk 

to your children about “content.” If you feel that a movie or TV program 

is inappropriate, redirect your child to more suitable programming. 

10. Become more involved in your child’s school and your child’s 

education. Visit your child’s school. Become active in the parent-teacher 

organization. Volunteer in the classroom or for special projects. Be 

available to help with homework. If your child’s education is important 

to you, it will be important to him. 

11. Help kids understand tobacco, alcohol and the media. Help your 

teenager understand the difference between the misleading messages 

in advertising and the truth about the dangers of using alcohol and 

tobacco products. Talk about ads with your child. Help your child 

understand the real messages being conveyed. Make sure the TV shows 

and movies your child watches do not glamorize the use of tobacco, 

alcohol and other drugs.

7. Practice “safety on wheels.” Make sure everyone in the car is buckled 

up for every ride, with children in the back seat in age-appropriate child 

safety seats. All bikers, skaters and skateboarders should wear helmets.

COMMON VITAMIN DEFICIENCES 

As we embark on the journey each day to eat and live better, take note 

of the common vitamin nutrient deficiencies that are easily treated: 

1. Calcium: Calcium is important for maintaining strong bones and 

controlling muscle and nerve function. Signs of severely low calcium 

include fatigue, muscle cramps, abnormal heart rhythms and a poor 

appetite. Make sure you’re getting enough with at least three servings 

of milk or yogurt a day. Other good sources of calcium are cheese, 

calcium-fortified orange juice and dark, leafy greens. 

2. Vitamin D: This vitamin is also critical for bone health. Symptoms 

of a vitamin D deficiency can be vague - fatigue and muscle aches or 

weakness. If it goes on long term, a vitamin D deficiency can lead to 

softening of the bones. To get enough vitamin D, have three servings of 

fortified milk or yogurt daily eating fatty fish, such as salmon or tuna, 

twice a week and spend some time outside in the sunshine every day. 

3. Potassium: Potassium helps the kidneys, heart and other organs 

work properly. You could become low in potassium in the short term 

because of diarrhea or vomiting, excessive sweating or antibiotics or 

because of chronic conditions such as eating disorders and kidney disease, 

according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Symptoms of 

a deficiency include weight loss, muscle weakness, constipation and in 

severe cases, an abnormal heart rhythm. For natural potassium sources, 

consume bananas, whole grains, milk, vegetables, beans and peas. 

4. Iron: Iron helps your body make red blood cells. When iron levels 

get too low, your body can’t effectively carry oxygen. The resulting 

anemia can cause fatigue. You might also notice pale skin and dull, 

thin, sparse hair. To boost iron levels, eat iron-fortified cereal, beef, 

oysters, beans (especially white beans, chickpeas and kidney beans), 

lentils and spinach. 

5. Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 aids the production of DNA and helps 

make neurotransmitters in the brain. With an increasing number of 

vegans and people who’ve had weight loss surgery, vitamin B12 deficiency 

is becoming more common. Symptoms of severe B12 deficiency 

include numbness in the legs, hands or feet; problems with walking 

and balance; anemia; fatigue; weakness; a swollen, inflamed tongue; 

memory loss; paranoia and hallucinations. You can get vitamin B12 

from animal sources: eat more fish, chicken, milk and yogurt. If you’re 

vegan, opt for vegan foods fortified with B12, such as non-dairy milk, 

meat substitutes and breakfast cereals. 

6. Folate: Folate or folic acid, is a particularly important vitamin for 

women of childbearing age, which is why prenatal vitamins contain 

such a hefty dose. A folate deficiency can cause a decrease in the 

total number of cells and large red blood cells as well as neural tube 

defects in an unborn child. Symptoms of a folate deficiency include 

fatigue, gray hair, mouth ulcers, poor growth and a swollen tongue. 

To get folate from food, go for fortified cereals, beans, lentils, leafy 

greens and oranges. 

7. Magnesium: Magnesium helps support bone health and assists in 

energy production. Magnesium deficiency can cause loss of appetite, 

nausea and vomiting, fatigue and weakness. In more severe cases, 

it can lead to numbness, muscle cramps, seizures, abnormal heart 

rhythms, personality changes or low potassium or calcium levels. To 

help your levels return to normal, eat more magnesium-rich foods, such 

as almonds, cashews, peanuts, spinach, black beans and edamame.

HOW TO GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP 

By SleepFoundation.org 

We asked visitors to our website if getting more sleep is a part of their 

New Year’s resolution and we were happy to find that up to 60% of 

respondents said, “Yes!” Our most recent monthly poll revealed that 

in order to keep up with that New Year’s resolution, up to 28% use a 

dark, quiet and comfy sleep environment to get a good night’s sleep, 

while18% use a sleep aid and 17% try to stick to regular sleep and wake 

up times or depend on a relaxing bedtime routine (7%). Even so, almost 

30% of respondents are still not sure what to do to get a good night’s 

sleep. In general, most healthy adults need seven to nine hours of sleep 

a night, but some individuals are able to function without sleepiness or 

drowsiness after as little as six hours of sleep and there are those who 

can’t perform at their peak unless they’ve slept ten hours. Sleep aids, a 

sleep-friendly environment, relaxation techniques and sleep schedules 

can help us achieve a good night’s sleep. Here are for additional steps 

you can take to help improve your sleep quality and duration:

THE HISTORY OF NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS 

The custom of making New Year’s resolutions has been around for 

thousands of years, but it hasn’t always looked the way it does today. 

The ancient Babylonians are said to have been the first people to make 

New Year’s resolutions, some 4,000 years ago. They were also the first to 

hold recorded celebrations in honor of the new year, though for them 

the year began not in January but in mid-March, when the crops were 

planted. During a massive 12-day religious festival known as Akitu, 

the Babylonians crowned a new king or reaffirmed their loyalty to the 

reigning king. They also made promises to the gods to pay their debts 

and return any objects they had borrowed. These promises could be 

considered the forerunners of our New Year’s resolutions. If the Babylonians 

kept to their word, their (pagan) gods would bestow favor on 

them for the coming year. If not, they would fall out of the gods’ favor-a 

place no one wanted to be. 

A similar practice occurred in ancient Rome, after the reform-minded 

emperor Julius Caesar tinkered with the calendar and established 

January 1st as the beginning of the new year circa 46 B.C. Named for 

Janus, the two-faced god whose spirit inhabited doorways and arches, 

January had special significance for the Romans. Believing that Janus 

symbolically looked backwards into the previous year and ahead into 

the future, the Romans offered sacrifices to the deity and made promises 

of good conduct for the coming year. 

For early Christians, the first day of the new year became the traditional 

occasion for thinking about one’s past mistakes and resolving to do 

and be better in the future. In 1740, the English clergyman John Wesley, 

founder of Methodism, created the Covenant Renewal Service, most 

commonly held on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. Also known as 

watch night services, they included readings from Scriptures and hymn 

singing and served as a spiritual alternative to the raucous celebrations 

normally held to celebrate the coming of the new year. Now popular 

within evangelical Protestant churches, especially African-American denominations 

and congregations, watch night services held on New Year’s 

Eve are often spent praying and making resolutions for the coming year. 

Despite the tradition’s religious roots, New Year’s resolutions today 

are a mostly secular practice. Instead of making promises to the gods, 

most people make resolutions only to themselves and focus purely 

on self-improvement (which may explain why such resolutions seem 

so hard to follow through on). According to recent research, while as 

many as 45 percent of Americans say they usually make New Year’s 

resolutions, only 8 percent are successful in achieving their goals. But 

that dismal record probably won’t stop people from making resolutions 

anytime soon-after all, we’ve had about 4,000 years of practice.

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.
