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 />

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 />
