GENERAL
Free Water Conservation Seminar - Thursday, Aug. 8
While beautiful lawns are abundant in Colleyville, the water they depend on is not. In the
past three years, Stage 1 water restrictions have been instituted twice. And if conditions in
the rest of the state are any indication, water restrictions may become a constant in the
North Texas landscape. On Thursday, Aug. 8, at 7:00 p.m., the city will host a water
conservation seminar to educate homeowners on how to have a beautiful lawn, while still
conserving water.
Steve Chaney, a Tarrant County extension agent specializing in home horticulture, will be
the featured speaker. He has a master's degree in agricultural education and is the
coordinator for the Tarrant County Master Gardener Association. During his time with the
extension service, he is credited with making Tarrant County home horticulture programs
some of the best in the state.
The event is free and open to the public. It will be held on the third floor of
Colleyville City Hall, 100 Main Street, in the City Council Chambers.

I was born on May 24 and have been growing and playing at my foster mom's house since--just meeting
the other cats, a 100-pound dog, and few two-legged folks. I am of Irish origin and my name means
"black,"...and that's what color I am! I'm going to be a debonair, medium-haired, silky black kitty and, as
everybody knows black kitties have the best temperaments. I'm easygoing, love my family, and love to
eat, sleep and play. I might get overlooked due to the fact that I'm black; some people think that I'm bad
luck (can you imagine?), but I know better! The family that adopts me will be the luckiest family ever,
and I'll be one very lucky black cat if I get to go home with a new family.
This is Oswald.

Hi, I'm Oswald and I'm a Chiweenie, that's a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix. I am a happy little guy who
would be even happier if I could find a family to adopt me! I am not sure how I ended up in the shelter,
but I know there is a great home out there for me with a nice yard and a soft bed, and maybe even a
sofa where I can hang out with you in the evenings. I don't take up much room and am very easygoing,
so if you're thinking of adding a Chiweenie to your family - and who isn't - please visit me at the Keller
Regional Animal Adoption Center. I have been neutered and am current on my shots.
