BARKING DOGS If you have a problem with a neighbor’s dog constantly barking, you should first contact the pet owner and make them aware of the problem. In the event that doesn’t work, you should then contact the Constables at 281-463-6666 to file a complaint.

LOOSE OR LOST PETS & DOG BITES Contact Harris County Animal Control at 281-999-3191 or 3194.

LEASH LAWAnimals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our resi-dents. 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 vehicle3. 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 prop-erly 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.

Please remember that cats fall under the same laws as dogs and must be licensed and kept restrained when not on the premises of the owner. We’ve been told that spreading moth balls in flower beds might keep cats away. To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained please contact: Harris County Precinct #5, Contract #87: 281-463-6666Harris County Animal Control: 281-999-3191Harris County Health Department, Rabies/Animal Control Section 2223 West Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027-3588www.countypets.com

tive, judicial positions for the First Court of Appeals, District Courts, Family District Courts, county officials and county judicial positions for civil courts, criminal courts, constables and justices of the peace. Every citizen has an obligation to be informed and participate in the election process. This election could be the most important in your lifetime to choose the road ahead for America and preserve the Constitution.

If you are not registered to vote, obtain a voter’s registration ap-plication and register to vote 30 days before the election. The last day to register to vote is October 9th. Don’t wait until the last day to register because additional identification may be required. Obtain a voter registration application from the Harris County Voter Registrar online at www.hcvoter.net or 713-368-VOTE (8683).

You must be a U.S. citizen to register to vote. You must be at least 17 years and 10 months old to register. Your voter registra-tion will become effective 30 days after it is received or on your 18th birthday, whichever is later. If you move to another county, you must re-register in the county of your new residence. To vote you must be a resident of Harris County, not a felon and have not been declared mentally incompetent by a court of law.

You must be registered to be eligible to vote. Registered voters are issued Voter Registration Certificates. The current Voter Registra-tion Certificate has a yellow background. Bring your Voter Registra-tion Certificate when you come to vote, although a photographic identification card will work just as well.

It is recommended to vote early in person or by mail. To vote early in person, appear in person at any Early Voting Location with your Voter Registration Certificate or photo ID during the early voting dates October 22nd to November 2nd. The closest location is Bear Creek Harris County Extension Department on 3033 Bear Creek Drive, Houston, TX 77084, 281-855-600.

To obtain a ballot by mail, contact the County Clerk online at www.harrisvotes.com or at 713-755-6965. However, if you request a ballot by mail, then decide to vote in person, you must give the mail ballot to the Election Judge to be allowed to vote in person.

To vote on Election Day, you need to vote at the voting location of your precinct. Your precinct number is on your Voter Registration Certificate. Check with the County Clerk or the Houston Chronicle newspaper on Election Day.

If you need further assistance, contact Precinct Chair Frances McAnear at 281-345-7913 or Election Judge Bill Deerhake at 281-856-6217.

GA R D E N I N G T I P S F O R O C T O B E R• Dig and store caladiums before the foliage dies. Allow the bulbs to dry in the shade, shake off the dried soil and dust with sulfur to control fungus. Store by hanging in open mesh bags or old panty hose.• Flowers planted for spring can begin when the temperatures are going to stay cooler. Shrubs and trees can be planted now. Woody plants concentrate on root growth through the winter and the more headstart they can get before summer, the better.• October 15th is about the time for dividing and planting daylilies.• Watch out for brown patch in St. Augustine grass. These circular brown patches are caused by a fungus that is activated by moist cool weather. Control with Daconil.• If you need to do any pruning, do it early in the month. The re-growth stimulated by pruning needs to harden off before that odd-ball frost of Halloween. Prune fruit trees when leaves begin to fall. Remove all dead, weak and over-crowded growth. Tip back main branches to control size and shape. Spray w/dormant oil when tem-perature is between 30-60 degrees.• Cut back tops of perennials after they have bloomed. Divide roots and transplant anytime from now until March, the earlier the better.• Get the ant baits down. This will greatly reduce your spring populations.• Clover left over from last year may be growing. It’s best to hit it with the post-emerge herbicides in October and November. At least two applications are usually needed, even if done this early.• For color throughout the winter, begin planting pansies.

Pet Hotline newsA very important thing you can do is have a collar with some form of ID and your phone number on it. Pet stores have special ID’s for your pets. Many pet owners are now “chipping” the pets. If found and taken to a vet they can scan chip and find the owner. If your pet has a rabies tag, the vet has your name and #. The first thing I ask a caller is “does the pet have ID on it.” If it does, I will help contact the # on the ID and get the pet to it’s owner ASAP. Or the owner can pick up their lost pet. Having an ID on a pet makes life easier for all. Marie Nugent - 281-859-1104
