Garage Sale<br />

Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 5 th , 8 AM to 2 PM<br />

Signs will be placed at each of the entrances into <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong>. You<br />

may place personal signs, but they must be removed Saturday.<br />

<strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> Pets<br />

Have you lost a pet or found a dog or cat? You can contact the <strong>Concord</strong><br />

<strong>Bridge</strong> Pet Hotline at 281-468-9414 and on the Facebook account, www.<br />

facebook.com/#!/<strong>Concord</strong>bridgehotline.<br />

You can use this source to report lost and found animals. This has been<br />

a great help in returning lost and found animals to their owners. Even<br />

if you don’t have access to Facebook, you can call 281-468-9414. It is<br />

far more efficient than posting illegal signs all over the neighborhood.<br />

Another great source for finding a lost pet or reporting a rescued one is<br />

nextdoor.com/concordbridge.<br />

Harris County requires that all pets be on a leash or confined within your<br />

yard. Unleashed dogs are a nuisance to your neighbors and other pets.<br />

Please pick up all dog waste and dispose of it properly. Remember, our<br />

children play in the park areas and their yards. It’s very inconsiderate of<br />

you to allow your dog to defecate if others yards and the parks. When<br />

walking your dogs, please be prepared to remove any waste they may<br />

leave behind.<br />

StreetLight Outage<br />

CenterPoint Energy depends on the assistance of customers to help<br />

a streetlight on during daylight hours, visit CenterPoint Energy’s website<br />

https://slo.centerpointenergy.com to report the issue. You may also call<br />

713-207-2222 to report an outage.<br />

When reporting a streetlight in need of repair, it is important to provide<br />

the following:<br />

• Light number<br />

• Location description<br />

• Streetlight address, city, state and zip<br />

• Problem description<br />

3/4 cup chopped pecans<br />

Festive Foods for Halloween<br />

Here are some simple ways to spice up everyday foods:<br />

1. Put a licorice straw into the breakfast orange juice and pack an orangedyed<br />

hard-boiled egg in the lunch box.<br />

2. Make American cheese the sandwich of the day and cut a pumpkin<br />

Gardening Tips For <strong>October</strong><br />

• Dig and store caladiums before the foliage dies. Allow the bulbs to dry<br />

in the shade, shake off the dried soil and dust with sulphur to control<br />

fungus. Store by hanging in open mesh bags or old panty hose.<br />

• Flowers planted for spring can begin when the temperatures are going<br />

to stay cooler. Shrubs and trees can be planted now. Woody plants<br />

concentrate on root growth through the winter and the more headstart<br />

they can get before summer, the better.<br />

• <strong>October</strong> 15th is about the time for dividing and planting daylilies.<br />

• Watch out for brown patch in St. Augustine grass. These circular brown<br />

patches are caused by a fungus that is activated by moist cool weather.<br />

Control with Daconil.<br />

• If you need to do any pruning, do it early in the month. The re-growth<br />

stimulated by pruning needs to harden off before that odd-ball frost of<br />

Halloween. Prune fruit trees when leaves begin to fall. Remove all dead,<br />

weak and over-crowded growth. Tip back main branches to control size<br />

and shape. Spray w/dormant oil when temperature is between 30-60<br />

degrees.<br />

• Cut back tops of perennials after they have bloomed. Divide roots and<br />

transplant anytime from now until March, the earlier the better.<br />

• Get the ant baits down. This will greatly reduce your spring populations.<br />

• Clover left over from last year may be growing. It’s best to hit it with<br />

the post-emerge herbicides in <strong>October</strong> and November. At least two<br />

applications are usually needed, even if done this early.<br />

• For color throughout the winter, begin planting pansies.<br />

GOLF LOVERS DAY IS ALWAYS ON OCTOBER 4TH!<br />

What is this Holiday for? This holiday is for celebrating and enjoying<br />

a day of golf. So let this holiday be the day you play a game of golf or at<br />

least have some fun learning about the game. This day is actually a big<br />

day for a charitable event sponsored by the PGA every year. The 4 th has<br />

been held for charity since 1952.<br />

Who celebrates this holiday? Everyone who loves the game of golf! This<br />

game is played all over the world.<br />

What is Golf? Golf is a game in which a player, using many types of clubs<br />

including a driver, a putter and irons, hits a ball into each hole on a golf<br />

course in the lowest possible number of strokes. Golf is one of the few ball<br />

games that does not use a standardized playing area; rather, the game<br />

is played on golf “courses,” each one of which has a unique design and<br />

typically consists of either 9 or 18 holes. Golf is defined in the Rules of Golf as<br />

“playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke<br />

or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules.” The first game of golf<br />

for which records survive was played at Bruntsfield Links, in Edinburgh,<br />

Scotland, in A.D. 1456, recorded in the archives of the Edinburgh Burgess<br />

Golfing Society, now The Royal Burgess Golfing Society. The modern game<br />

of golf spread from Scotland to England and has now become a worldwide<br />

game, with golf courses in the majority of countries.<br />

Golf Etymology The word Golf was first mentioned in writing in 1457 on a<br />

Scottish statute on forbidden games as gouf, possibly derived from the Scots<br />

word goulf (variously spelled) meaning “to strike or cuff.” This word may, in turn,<br />

be derived from the Dutch word kolf, meaning “bat” or “club” and the Dutch sport<br />

of the same name. It is often claimed that the word originated as an acronym for<br />

“gentlemen only, ladies forbidden,” but this is strictly a false etymology.<br />

World Golf Popularity In 2005, Golf Digest calculated that there were<br />

nearly 32,000 golf courses in the world, approximately half of them in<br />

the United States. The countries with most golf courses in relation to<br />

population, starting with the best endowed were: Scotland, New Zealand,<br />

Australia, Ireland, Canada, Wales, United States, Sweden and England<br />

(countries with fewer than 500,000 people were excluded). Apart from<br />

Sweden, all of these countries have English as the majority language,<br />

but the number of courses in new territories is increasing rapidly. For<br />

example the first golf course in the People’s Republic of China opened in<br />

the mid-1980s, but by 2005 there were 200 courses in that country.<br />
