As we mark the close of an unusally diffi cult decade that began with 9/11 and ended with an economic crash in some areas of the country, we should celebrate looking forward to better days and remember that even our worst days in this grand land are far better than many throughout the world.

Our Canyon Lake Community Profi le this month is Maureen Schein. She has been se-lected as the new Resource Program Director at the Community Resource and Recreation Center (CRRC), replacing Sue Schubring in all that she does for those in need.

CRRC provides emergency services to ordi-nary people who have had a bout of bad luck. By partnering with various organizations and local churches as contributors, they are the angels in someone’s Christmas and some they help year round.

With Christmas on the horizon as this is-sue lands, there are many last minute gift ideas inside. Help your neighbors have a better year and shop locally. Avoid the Christmas crowds and traffi c this year – you don’t even have to leave town.

Looking forward to next year and wishing you health, happiness and prosperity in all the

years to come.

of Canyon Lake as soon as she arrived here. Anxious to use her marketing background, she soon found herself handling all public relations duties for the Rotary. She is also credited with bringing the Rotary’s major fundraiser, the Valentines Dinner and Dance, from Chama. It’s huge success there is quickly catching on here as well.

Maureen likes emphasizing the positive side that ac-companies good PR. Although she was happy in market-ing, she is more service than sales. She has three sisters and one brother who have six degrees amongst them, but she never fi nished hers. She has now returned to pursue her education and will graduate with a degree in public relations in the spring of 2011.

As Resource Program Director for CRRC, Maureen will fulfi ll her need to help people. CRRC currently serves about 200 local families with food or fi nancial assistance. Her duties are multi-faceted. CRRC runs the food pantry, provides fi nancial counselling, a crisis as-sistance program, a loan program for durable medical equipment, to coordinating volunteer drivers for meals for the homebound. CRRC also funds the Recreation Center to provide a gathering place for local events with low rental rates, as well as daily activities for as little as $1 per class.

CRRC partners with various organizations to provide these services. “Local churches are awesome contribu-tors,” Maureen explains, “providing fi nancial support to the food pantry and delivering meals, as well as the regular volunteers to make it work.” She loves to see the working relationship of service clubs, churches, and indi-viduals and to watch the collaborative effort succeed.

“My heart is in service. I love being surrounded by people who also love to serve,” Maureen explains. At CRRC, she has stepped forward and found her heart – in the heart of Canyon Lake.

For someone relatively new in town, Maureen Schein has jumped right into the heart of Canyon Lake. She has been selected as the new Resource Program Director at the Community Resource and Recreation Center (CRRC), replacing Sue Schubring – shoes diffi cult to fi ll. She will now oversee the many programs CRRC provides to help the local community.

Maureen and her husband, Ken, moved to Canyon Lake from the small town of Chama, New Mexico, where they lived with their two children, Jonathan and Chris-tina, for 26 years! There were three requirements for her to move, she says, “one, to be closer to family; two, to be warm, and three, to be close to civilization. When people around here refer to Canyon Lake as rural, it’s not as rural as it looks. We like it here because it’s ‘urban’ to us.” The area has a relaxed small town feel that’s convenient to activities found only in cities. Chama was so isolated, it took two hours to get to a movie or mall, three hours to get to plays or music they enjoy and over an hour just to reach a grocery store.

For 13 of her years there, Maureen worked as a report-er for the largest weekly newspaper in New Mexico. She also started a small public relations company and turned the local electric co-op’s dismal reputation around in two years. While running her own business, she also worked at the rural radio station. She was originally hired in sales, but as the staff left to pursue other adventures, Maureen stepped in to handle the other tasks as well, even as on air talent.

Maureen was also a charter member of the local Ro-tary Club there and considered her weekly lunches with them her respite. It was her time away from the rush of of-fi ce life, a relaxed lunch with professionals in a noncom-petitive but informative atmosphere – while knowing she was helping her community. She joined the Rotary Club

The Rotary Club of Canyon Lake provides four 4-year scholarships to low income students and funds this effort pri-marily with their Valentines’ Romantic Rendevouz Dinner and Dance. The gourmet dinner provides an opportunity to spoil and be spoiled on this romantic day. Music is provided by the popular Sophisticates, a wonderful dance band. The Rotary Club meets every Thursday for lunch at Anchor’s Landing. A speaker of current relevance is included at each meeting. Non-members should RSVP to Kyle Pringle at 830-964-4744.


During the recent drought, there was a great deal of concern with the possibility of wells going dry in the area. Many people were forced to take action when they no longer had a constant supply of water to their home. Some had to replace well pumps, only to fi nd that the old pump failed due to low water conditions. Others had to drill deeper wells in order to access a larger supply of water. In any case, these repairs were unexpected, and often time-consuming. Many well service companies were overwhelmed with calls, causing some to endure days without a water supply. A water storage tank would have been helpful to many of these homeowners.

The benefi ts of a properly installed storage tank are numerous. These tanks are normally installed near the well, so that the well pump sends the water directly into the storage tank. This removes much of the back pressure from your well pump, so that the work-load on the pump is greatly reduced. The water can be sprayed into the top of the storage tank, eliminating odors which may be pres-ent. The water is then re-pressurized by an external pump which can maintain higher pressure, and is much less costly to repair or replace than a well pump. Protection systems are also available for both pumps to ensure longevity.

An early warning system, such as a light or alarm, can be installed which activates when the water in the tank drops to a certain level, indicating the need to check your well for problems. This will buy you the

time you need to contact a professional. Should you happen to

run out of water before the well isoperational, there are water delivery services who can

bring you a supply of water to replenish your storage tank, thereby maintaining your day to day routine while you await repairs. For homes in remote areas, stored water is a valuable asset for fi refi ghters. The best time to consider adding a storage tank to

your well is now. Then you’ll be prepared before an-other Texas Summer takes it’s toll on your well.

when quality matters830-964-4514

Insurance can be a tricky and quite confusing aspect of our day to day lives. There are so many different agencies out there it can beome very diffi cult to decide which one is the right one. Most people know that they need insurance but should they choose a captive insurance agency or an independent insurance agency?

The term captive agent refers to the agents working relationship with the company they represent. That company mandates the agent sell the products offered from their company exclusively, for the privi-lege of working under their name. Captive agencies are much more familiar to the public since they are often advertised on TV. From time to time when someone is shopping for the right coverage they will go with what is most familiar, and this makes absolute sense.

An independent agent has no exclusive relationship with any one company. This agent is free to choose which products they will sell and which company they will sell for. Independent agents gener-ally have a wide variety of products and companies. This variety is benefi cial for the client, because it allows the client to get the exact coverage that they need and not just come close to what they need. This can also help the captive agencies, in that even if they cannot write the policy themselves they can guide the customer to someone who can.

When shopping with a captive agent the client will need to call several different agents to get a comparison quote. An independent agency will do all of the shopping for the client and will fi nd the absolute best coverage for the best premium, sort of a better bang for the buck. In this case the customer will not need to spend their time calling many agencies to fi nd the coverage they are looking for.

In most areas both captive agencies and independent agencies offer the same products. These products range from home, auto, life, health and even commercial coverages. There are broad spectrums of coverages that fall under each of these categories.

Who should you call for insurance?

Lynda Arredondo is the Nutritional Consultant for Sebring Clinic and the manager and founder of Nature’s Nutrition. She can be reached at the Clinic at 16811 Ranch Road 12 (north) in Wimberley at 512-847-6868.

The FDA has deemed that the Quality Systems Regulation for food, drugs, bio-logics, and medical devices are known as Good Manufacturing Practices. A GMP certifi cation is what distinguishes top quality Nutriceuticals from ordinary di-etary supplements. Dietary supplements are considered food and cannot be pat-ented because they are naturally occurring compounds. According to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, “A fi rm is responsible for determining that the dietary supplements it manufactures or distributes are safe and that any representations or claims made about them are substantiated by adequate evidence to show that they are not false or misleading.”

In other words, dietary supplements are not required to be ap-proved by the FDA before they are marketed. The Current Good Manufacturing Practices will help to ensure that manufacturers produce properly labeled and unadulterated dietary supplements. In June 2007 the FDA ruled that the CGMP includes requirements for: the design and construction of physical plants that facilitate maintenance, cleaning, proper manufacturing operations, quality control procedures, testing fi nal product or incoming and in pro-cess materials, handling consumer complaints, and maintaining records.

Small companies manufacturing dietary supplements must be compliant by June 2010. Large discount houses selling dietary supplements should already be compliant with CGMP but don’t have any current ratings or certifi cations from the CGMP. Are you really getting the levels of EPA and DHA in your fi sh oil that are stated on the label when you buy them at the discount warehous-es? How do these discount companies ensure that their fi sh oil is free of mercury and PCB’s?

The truth is that they aren’t independently tested and aren’t manufactured in warehouses that are CGMP rated for supplement production. They may be cheaper but are they effective? Are you actually getting what the label states? Wouldn’t you rather spend your money on Nutriceuticals that you know will be effective, are bio-available, and free of chemicals, pollutants, and additives? Look for CGMP rated Nutriceuticals and spend your money where it counts- on your health.

Justin Kim, O.D., has opened a second location in Bulverde near the HEB off US 281 and TX 46, following the success of his fi rst location in Boerne. Formerly an Air Force eye doctor, Dr. Kim provided USAF pilots with vision care exclusively in their laser surgery program. Dr. Kim was raised in California and earned his B.S. in Molecular Biology from Univ. of California at Berkeley, Doctor of Optometry 2002 from Southern California College of Optometry, and is certifi ed by the National Board of Examiners in Optometry. He was Staff Optometrist at Lackland AFB, Chief of Optometry, at the Brooks City-Base, and Chief of Laser Refractive Surgery Registry for USAF pilots. To schedule an appointment, call 830-438-2727.

Imagine a small but powerful piece of magnifying lens that is soft enough to change its shape and adjust its’ focus on different distances. We are born with such lenses inside our eyes, just behind the iris (the color part of the eye). As

time goes by, the lenses become less fl exible and darker, causing cloudy vision. This is called “cataract”. If the condition worsens enough to impede a person’s daily activities, surgery is usually rec-ommended to remove the cataract.

One surgery method is to remove the cataract, and simply wear very thick and heavy eyeglasses to compensate for the absence of the lens. This option is hardly offered to patients in the United States due to the uncomfortable lifestyle that follows. After all, why use the same technique that people used in 6th century B.C.?

Another method is to remove the cataract and replace it with an artifi cially made lens according to your prescription. This method began in the 19�0’s when a group of military doctors saw that a pilot who had incurred an eye injury due to a plane crash was wear-ing a large piece of window glass which had penetrated into the eye, and yet was still able to see through the glass without resulting in an internal eye infection. With the traditional standard mono fo-cal (one focal distance) lens, the patient will be able to see distance very well, but will usually require reading glasses for near vision.

Modern cataract surgery makes it possible for the patient to

Don’t get cataract surgery…

until you learn all the new lens options

shift focus between various distances using multifocal intra-ocular lenses. Remember that our natural lenses are able to change the fo-cal points before cataract matures. This means patients can reduce or possibly eliminate their dependence on eyeglasses. If you are a good candidate for a multifocal lens implant and should you choose this option, the type of lens implant that the surgeon recommends will depend on your unique circumstances, lifestyle and vision correction needs.

If you do choose a multifocal lens implant, you must be aware of the cost of cataract surgery involving premium lenses. While most Medicare and private insurances will cover basic cataract surgery costs, you will still need to pay the extra out-of-pocket price of “premium” lenses.

The number of criminal background checks conducted by employers has taken off in recent years. The ease of obtaining information on the internet has allowed government agencies and private employers to gain unprecedented access to a citizen’s records. A criminal background search of a person on the Texas Department of Public Safety website costs $3. In addition, when a person applies for employment or to live in an apartment complex, he or she will usually be subjected to a criminal background search. In addition, when a misdemeanor defendant accepts a plea agreement, he or she may not be aware that a record still exists. The information of the case often stays on the record and may impact the ability to fi nd a job or an apartment. While it is certain the use of background checks has been a useful tool for employers, licensing boards, and schools, it is also clear that often enough good candidates are disqualifi ed for minor misgivings which happened long ago and have no bearing on the persons character and integrity. As a result of the widespread use of background checks, and in the interest of protecting its citizens from being marked for life for minor infractions, Texas law allows persons to have their records cleared or sealed under certain circumstances. The two main procedures are expunction and non-disclosure. Expunction is primarily for defendants whose charges are dismissed or who win not-guilty verdicts. An expunction will ensure that all records pertaining to the court are destroyed. Any state agencies which may have record of the case will be ordered to throw them out. Non-disclosure applies to defendants who successfully complete deferred adjudication for certain offenses. Non disclosure will

essentially seal the records, limiting access only to certain authorized agencies such as hospitals, schools, and licensing boards. In both expunction and non disclosure, one may legally deny that the offense ever occurred. Agencies that do have access to these records will also be informed that the record was sealed which they may consider in making decisions regarding the prospective employee. If you are concerned about damaging information related to a past infraction, it is important that you consult an attorney to determine whether you may be eligible to have such records sealed or cleared.

What’s a cool bug? It’s any bug that a Bug Man doesn’t want to control, much less kill.

The real question is how many of our home invaders are benefi cial? We have been asked many times what benefi t are scorpions, centipedes and such? My answer is, “They afford some of us a living!” Kind of like the age old question, what’s the difference between a plant and a weed? Desirability. Do you want it around? Well, of course, you don’t want scorpi-ons, centipedes, spiders, ants, roaches, fl eas or any vermin that bite or carry disease.

Number one on the benefi cial bug list would be the pollena-tors like honeybees, butterfl ies, numerous beetles and wasps. Second would be the check-and-balance predators such as ants, spiders, wasps, dragonfl ies and praying mantises (my personal favorite). The check-and-balance system in nature is kind of like our political system – Predator versus Prey – Big government versus the Tax Payer – you get the idea. Third on the benefi cial list are cultivators and decomposers. They include earthworms, ants, pillbugs, sowbugs, millipedes, earwigs and, yes, termites. Because ants are the most successful species on Earth they are mentioned in all of these categories.

Pest Control ideally should create a balance between the comfort zone of the customer and the natural order of things. That’s why we call if pest control, not extermination, get it?

Cool Bugs? Take the time to watch a praying mantis watch you. He has a fully articulating head with great big eyes which makes for a very interesting creature. Check out the fuzzy black jumping spider with white spots. He has eight very attentive green eyes. They are great fl y catchers and hunt by sight alone. Take a long look at the web of a garden spider. The engineering is phenomenal. If you see or hear a cicada, it has taken 17 years to hatch. So many more!

What I’m trying to say here is, we bring a level of control to your personal space while trying not to disturb what’s going on in their space! Slow down, look around at Nature’s creations. We are all amazing!

Happy New Year to all!

Cool bugs

Whenever I am asked about my profession and I answer “Financial Planning”, I almost always get inquiries about the stock market. While investing is one aspect of financial planning, it is by no means the only, or the most important one. Let’s examine the financial planning process in comparison to a first visit to your doctor. A competent and responsible physician must start with a complete physical to determine how the different body parts are functioning and how they are affecting one another. Similarly, the various aspects of one’s financial life must be evaluated in a comprehensive and interrelated fashion. If you call a financial planner and say “I have some money to invest,” his/her immediate answer must

be “why”? This will lead to a discussion revolving around your income needs, time horizon and risk toler-ance. There is a huge difference between investing money that you will need one year from now for a down payment on home and money that you will need for your grandchild’s college education 18 years from now. If financial planning were a book, it would contain the following chapters:

• Current cash flow (income and expenses);• Net worth (assets and liabilities);• Risk management (all insurance coverage and asset protection measures);• Investment portfolio analysis (asset allocation relative to income needs, time horizon and risk tolerance);• Retirement Planning (Retirement housing, travel plans, long-term care needs and income sources);• Estate planning (Inheritance plans, designation of executors and trustees and death tax planning).

Clearly, those topics are closely connected and directly affect each other; much like a headache can af-fect your vision, hearing, comprehension and coordination. Evaluating one’s financial health as expressed in the above topics is the first of four vital steps. The other three are recommendations, implementation and monitoring. The recommendation step is comparable to the prescription written by your doctor for medica-tion or surgery. Implementation is actually purchasing and taking the medicine, or having the surgery done. Monitoring involves closely, and continually watching your progress over a long period of time.

Your planning team: The entire planning process is led by a certified financial planner (CFP) who serves as the team leader and is responsible for coordinating the efforts of all team members on behalf of the client. Team members are specialists such as the attorney, accountant, investment professional and insurance pro-fessional. Quite often, one team member is qualified to perform other roles. For example, an attorney may also be a CPA and can function as a tax advisor as well as a legal advisor. Also, CFP’s are often qualified investment advisors and insurance professionals.

Regardless of your situation, you should meet with a qualified financial planner, perhaps one recommended by a trusted friend or colleague for a financial checkup. Even if you are satisfied that everything is being handled by your attorney, accountant and stock broker, you may be surprised by your financial planner’s second opinion.Max El Tawil, CFP®, ChFC, is a Fee-Based Certified Financial Planner® Practitioner. Max is a resident of Canyon Lake and a Member of the Canyon Lake Rotary Club. He authored many articles on Estate Planning in Physician’s Money Digest.

Protein is an important compo-nent of every cell in the body. It is an organic compound composed of 22 amino acids, otherwise known as the building blocks of life. Protein is stored in muscles and organs and the body utilizes it to build and repair tissues, as well as for the production

of enzymes and hormones. Proteins also make it possible for blood to carry oxygen throughout the body. Along with fat and carbohydrates, protein is a macronutrient, meaning the body needs relatively large amounts of it. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that our daily protein requirements should be 10% to 35% of our total caloric intake, with men needing slightly more than women. A lack of protein can cause loss of muscle mass, decreased immunity, as well as weakening of the heart and respiratory system.

How protein affects your weight. The widespread popu-larity of high-protein diets is due in large part to their ability to help manage hunger. When protein is absorbed, it sends a signal to the brain to decrease your hunger. Another benefi t of protein is that it raises your resting metabolism by maintain-ing muscle mass. As we age, muscle mass decreases without exercise, so staying fi t is a key to burning fat by keeping your metabolism high. Protein also leads to a much less rapid rise and fall of blood sugar and insulin, so you avoid the “sugar highs and lows” after eating sweets without adequate protein. Certain foods, however, provide a healthier resource form protein than others.

Consider the source. You can obtain healthy sources of protein without high levels of saturated fat. For example, soybeans, nuts and whole grains provide protein without much saturated fat and offer plenty of healthful fi ber and micronu-trients as well. If you’re looking for yet another great way to obtain healthy protein, vegetable sources of protein found in Herbalife’s Formula 1, are high-quality and have lower calorie levels with virtually no added fat. Herbalife® products personalize your daily protein intake to match your body’s needs. With a variety of shakes and snacks, the ShapeWorks® program helps you build or maintain lean muscle while pro-viding healthy weight management support. Now that you’ve increased your knowledge of protein, you can effectively enhance your diet and allow good health to take shape.

Canyon Lake Views Page 1� January 2010

January 1st is reserved for soul-searching, self-recrimination and a resolve to do better in the next 36� days than we did in the last. Resolutions vary widely, but there’s an un-canny commonality to most lists.

Although massage therapy is not the cure for all. It’s not diffi cult to fi nd a role for mas-sage in accomplishing every one of these resolutions.

Spend more time with family, friends. Massage can be a solitary pleasure. Don’t underestimate its place in promoting warmth among friends. Acknowledging the other person and slowing down enough to enjoy each other’s company. Have simultaneous or back-to-back appointments for massage and build your day around them. It works every time. Come to think of it, you are due.

Fit in fi tness. It’s no coincidence that many fi tness centers have massage therapists. Why would Sports Medicine Division of the Olympic Training Center include massage as part of its offi cial pro-gram if there weren’t a connection between massage and recovery after exercise?

Tame the bulge. Massage for weight loss improved blood circula-tion to the muscles, range of motion, anxiety reduction, etc. Massage can be part of your program if you don’t expect it to be the only plank in the program.

Quit smoking... Massage could alleviate smoking-related anxiety, reduce cravings, withdrawal symptoms, improve mood, and reduce the number of cigarettes smoked.

Enjoy life more. See Resolution No. 1.Quit drinking. Subjects undergoing alcohol detoxifi cation who

received massage experienced milder symptoms of withdrawal.Get out of debt. Okay, this might be the only one that massage

won’t help with. But massage can help reduce the stress when you think about debts.

Learn something new. Experience every type of massage, Swed-ish, deep tissue, aromatherapy, refl exology, Shiatsu, hot stones, etc.

Help others. See Resolution No. 1. Arranging a massage benefi t for those in need. Remember the gift of massage.

Get organized. Part of getting organized is setting priorities. You’ve got a lot of massages to squeeze in during 2009. You’d better get moving! Take a deep cleansing breath and let the journey wel-come 2009. Ahhhhhhhhhh!

Same great service and style!

It’s that time of year again. Holi-day festivities are at their peak and already we are refl ecting on 2009 and setting intentions and making resolu-tions for a new decade, 2010!

Our intentions set our lives in motion, creating and manifesting our wants, needs and desires. Often the top of our resolution/intention list includes becoming happier and healthier. But as we know, New Year’s resolutions often last only a short time and year after year we make the same resolutions, over and over again. How can we make our resolutions last and create the life we really want?

Dr. Douglas Brooks, the Professor of Religion at the University of Rochester in New York, once said to me, “You are the company you keep, so keep good company.” Surrounding ourselves with those who uplift and inspire us is vital in creating and maintaining a rewarding life. Being with good community also helps us to stay motivated and enjoy life!

Want to be in better shape? Join a yoga class to get in shape, have fun and make new friends. Try a yoga work-shop and learn more about the body, mind and spirit con-nection.

Recovering from illness or an injury? Find a therapeutic yoga class or take a private session with a qualifi ed teacher to help you along the road to recovery. Want to learn to meditate? Join a meditation group, a Sangha, to practice and learn with others. Your local yoga studio offers many options in creating greater health and wellbeing.

The word “kula” in yoga refers to community. The word itself translates to mean “community of the heart.” Finding your kula, joining like minded people who want to live their lives similarly to the way you want to live yours is one of the most important teachings in learning to live your best life. It all starts with the best of intentions.

Blessings for a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Times are more diffi cult for many parents of the pets we care for! If you want to save money on veterinary bills, not to mention making life easier for your beloved pets, we have some advice for you. These are things you can do to help prevent the most commonly avoidable problems.

1) Keep your dog safely contained. Any loose dog will eventually get hit by a car, in a fi ght with another dog, poisoned, or shot because they are somewhere they are not supposed to be.

2) Keep your cat(s) indoors. I know there are “outdoor cats” and there are “indoor-outdoor cats” and I am not saying that everyone who has a cat should keep them inside all the time. But, most of the bad things that happen to cats happen when they are outside. If you want to avoid those bad things, like bite wounds, dog trauma, car injuries, and pellet gun wounds, keep your cats safely in your home.

3) Don’t let your dog ride loose in the back of a pickup truck. Like dogs that “never go in the street,” dogs that “never jump out of the truck” sometimes do. Broken legs and torn knee ligaments are a couple of the most common results. Orthopedic surgery on a dog or cat can easily cost a thousand dollars, and is not always completely successful. I know if you’re a rancher with working dogs it may not be practical to restrain the dogs in the back, and even less practical to have two or three muddy, slobbering cow dogs on the seat next to you, but there are risks.

�) Keep your dog or cat out of your garbage can. Cats are pickier and more careful than dogs about what they eat, but either one can fi nd culinary treasures in the garbage. They may also eat grandpa’s heart pills left on the bathroom counter, or other medication, and they will readily lap up antifreeze that leaked or was spilled on the driveway.

Please work diligently to save both of us from these problems!

Tired of spending money on veterinary bills?

Canyon Animal Clinic has joined efforts with Habitat for Safe Seniors to help feed our senior’s pets. Thank

you Canyon Animal Clinic for caring.

Your Chamber of Commerce is a volun-tary organization of citizens who are invest-ing their time and money in a community development program – working together to

improve the economic, civic, and cultural fortitude of the region, community, or area.

Any citizen who is interested in helping to develop the com-munity is eligible to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce. The direct benefi t is a stronger local economy: more businesses and more jobs with higher salaries and better fringe benefi ts. The indirect benefi ts are more public programs, better schools, and less crime.

The work of the Chamber is fi nanced by the investments of its members. The dues structure is designed to permit even the smallest business to be a member.

The Chamber of Commerce functions through the working committees of the organization. Money, planning, and inspiration do not fulfi ll the Chamber’s mission unless the members work vigorously on the committee of their choice.

Careful study is made of the community needs and an action plan is designed. The goal of the plan is to create more dollars for more people and to improve the economic welfare of the community.

When it comes to good health, gar-lic is the herb that gets to the heart of the matter. More and more studies are shedding light on just how garlic protects the human heart. Here are some of the ways researchers believe garlic may work its won-ders on one of your most vital organs.

Reduces blood cholesterol. Researchers at New York’s Medi-cal College recently reviewed fi ve of the most scientifi cally sound studies on garlic and cholesterol. They found that consuming as little as half a garlic clove a day reduces cholesterol levels an av-erage of 9%.

Lowers blood pressure. Scientists speculate that garlic lowers blood pressure by relaxing and opening up blood vessels. Using garlic as a salt substitute can also help lower blood pressure.

Makes blood less likely to clot. Garlic makes blood less sticky, so you are less likely to develop a blood clot when one of your blood vessels is injured. A blood clot that completely blocks off a blood vessel in your heart can lead to a heart attack.

Increases clot-dissolving activity of the blood. This helps break down any clots that develop. Clots may develop even if you eat garlic, but the herb will help to break them down. Include one to two cloves of garlic in your diet on a daily basis.

Fresh garlic is probably the safest way to go. If you are both-ered by garlic’s strong odor, garlic supplements may mask the odor. Tablets with an enteric coating protects the garlic, prevent-ing it from dissolving until it reaches the intestines. These supple-ments tend to be more odor-free and effective than other types.

Kvai is one brand of supplemental garlic that produces posi-tive results in several clinical trials. If you are on any anti-clot-ting medicines, such as aspirin or a prescription medication, you should talk to your physician before adding garlic to your diet. Garlic may intensify the effects of these drugs. Too much garlic can cause side effects, including heartburn, gas, wheezing cough-ing, vomiting diarrhea and skin rashes. If you notice any of these, reduce your garlic intake.

Local Boys Lawn Care and Pressure Washing

Well now that winter has arrived there is plenty to do. Sure you thought you were done with the yard work but here are a few things to keep you busy this time of year.

January is a good time to aerate your lawn but it can wait until February, too. If you are going to aerate your lawn get a few of your neighbors to go in on the rental with you and do two to three lawns for the price of one rental.

If you have shrubs or other plants that are needing to be transplanted now is the time to do this; most are dormant now and can be moved without much damage. Be sure you get as much of the root ball as you can and plant them immediately, so the roots don’t dry out.

Mistletoe is great for the holidays. Hang it above the door and hope to get a few kisses. But mistletoe is a parasite, and if not removed it will eventually take over and kill your trees. Now is the time to remove it, the leaves are gone and you can easily see it in the trees. It usually starts growing on the smaller twigs and limbs and then spreads through the tree. You have to cut off the limb where the mistletoe is growing. Mistletoe sends its roots into the bark to feed off the nutrients found there.

If you want to really help your lawn, consider adding compost to it. You need only apply 1/2-inch on the lawn and make sure you water it in. It has to have contact with the soil to do any good. The microbes in the compost are the key to a successful lawn, active soil. Composting can be done anytime between now and March. Composting your lawn after aerat-ing will yield the best results. You will also fi nd that if you compost your lawn, it will take less water to keep it green. The soil will hold more moisture from the rains and watering. This is defi nitely a win-win situation.

Wishing everyone a fantastic New Year!

Marketing your home can be done in many ways but the most critical aspect is internet marketing. Every real estate company as well as your personal Realtor has their own opinion on this service. My personal opinion is that your marketing should be in place including all internet sites (craiglist, facebook, Realtor.com, twitter, trulia etc….), fl yers, virtual tour, professional pictures and any

websites that are to be set up for the individual home. Today we have so many resources to get your home out

to the buyers of today. Eight fi ve percent of buyers start their search on the internet, and by the time they actually contact a Realtor, they are pre-qualifi ed and have narrowed their search to the homes they are most interested in. This is why it is so important that your marketing be in place before the button is clicked to enter your home in the MLS.

There is a service on our MLS systems that will send new listings that meet the criteria of prospective buyers the minute it hits the market. If they receive your listings missing photos or the virtual tour, then you might just miss that one person you were looking for.

In the fi rst 30 days you will have the buyers that are serious and are diligently searching for their dream home looking at your listing. I have heard clients say, “I am surprised to receive an offer in the fi rst 30 days” – what you need to understand is that it is not because your home was under priced, but that the marketing caught the eye of the serious buyer and they were ready to buy a home. The fi rst 30 days are critical and the best days of your listing’s exposure. Now you see why it is so very important that you have all of your marketing tools in place.

Keep in mind that we as Realtors are not here to list your home but to sell it at the greatest profi t to you!

Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

by Patsy Keim

“We know that in our entire lifetime our epidermis (the outer protective layer) never thins. On the contrary, the inner dermis thins at a rate of about 1-1.5% a year. That tells us that the skin puts a priority on maintaining the epidermis because it knows that a loss of epidermis will ultimately lead to death (through infection, fl uid loss, etc).

This priority is also evident in that the dermis receives all of the nutrients of the skin and it still sends those scarce supplies up to the epidermis even while it thins itself.

Primarily the dermis thins because it is overwhelmed with free radicals and infl ammation that result from sun, diet and stress. So many of us have overlooked the dermis, choosing to focus more on the epidermal cell turnover, which slows as we get older.

The question you should ask yourself is why does the epi-dermis slow down? I think the answer is simple; it can’t thin because of the health risks if it did and with its food supply becoming more scarce, the only logical thing to do is slow down. We thought the slowing epidermis just needed help to go faster, that somehow it did not know what it was doing and was in need of help.

There is no question that exfoliating the epidermis does speed cell turnover but it is not because it is a healthy event – it is because the skin is rushing to fi x the damage, to the detriment of the dermis. Sun sensitivity and infl ammation results from over exfoliation. Another effect is the loss of hy-dration because exfoliating strips the lipid barrier and results in moisture loss, then the skin produces more oil in response to the dehydration.

Over exfoliation results in an “emergency” repair response which diverts scarce and needed nutrients from the dermis (where aging really happens) to the epidermis.” Osmosis feeds the dermis, stopping the nutrient loss and slowing the aging process.

“My ad worked far better than I ever expected” Dave Obine, Express Plastic Bumper Repair

Congratulations! You just received a new computer for Christmas … now what? Carefully unpack every nook and cranny in the shipping box and set all items aside, taking inventory of all cables, discs, guides, manuals, etc. Yes, read the installation guide and follow the instruc-tions. If the task appears overwhelming, have a spouse, friend, or consultant assist you.

First – a note of caution. Handle fl at panel displays gingerly as the screen is more fragile than the old glass monitors. When cleaning the screen – do not use glass cleaner and paper tow-els! Otherwise you may scratch the screen’s surface. Use only cleaning materials designed to clean fl at panel screens, such as “electronic cleaning wipes” that are lint-free, anti-static, and alcohol free.

There are a few tasks to ponder before powering up the new one – the transfer of data (not application programs) from the old and the initial setup of the new one. Data such as word processing documents, pictures, music, videos, spreadsheets, addresses (contacts), email messages, etc. may be transferred with relative ease to your new computer. You may use migra-tion software built into the operating system or copy fi les to an external hard drive or fl ash drive. Each method requires some knowledge and following of instructions. Allow several hours to complete this task.

When you power up a new system, some initial setup and registration information will be required, including connection to the internet. Once you are past this segment, always perform an update to the operating system, allowing the latest security and enhancement patches to be installed. Then you can transfer your data and start personalizing your new system.

One caveat. Windows 7 does not have an email program as did previous versions of Windows. You will have to utilize Windows Live Mail, another web-based mail system such as Yahoo Mail or Google Mail, or a separate application such as Outlook. Read Help guides on your new computer and search the internet for setup and migration information.

Enjoy your new computer! Both the PC and MAC have excit-ing new functions, allowing for rich experiences.

Now that you have a new computer …

Let’s think for a minute and try to fi gure out what makes a Hill Country home. The fi rst vision I get is a rock exterior. There are as many white limestone homes in the Hill Country as there are deer. OK, almost as many. I also see a lot of Hill Country homes with metal roofs and covered porches. Often we see paths trailing off to distant seating areas developed for the spectacular view.

Most are ranch style homes, with a long gabled roof and a rambling footprint scattering the bedrooms on each end. The open kitchen, dining and great room are utilized most often in this style. And while the style continues to evolve, one of the most recent additions for an unfettered porch rail is the hog panel. Yes, we should think of another name for it.

Flooring for the home has evolved and become much more washable. Folks now are installing ceramic tile or stained con-crete for the ability to clean and keep it clean. Wood also ac-complishes that. Carpet seems to be reserved for the bedrooms and closets.

The addition of a powder room for guests has become the norm, keeping the bathrooms with a shower or tub for occu-pants that come with their own personal clutter – shampoo, tweezers, q-tips. Most utility rooms now include a space for a mopsink or a freezer. Some people include broom closets or a drop down ironing board.

Many seem to be shying away from the two story and split

Winter and January. I always have visions of cold, dreary days and even colder nights. Of course, here at the lake, it’s usually cool and sunny. But

just in case…To prepare for those chilly days and nights, you might

want to invest in some caulk, pipe wrap, heaters, pet snuggies and beds, fi rewood and insulation to keep everything snug and warm. These items and more are available at your local hardware store.

Caulk can do wonders to stop cold air from coming into the house, or the warm air from escaping. Check the top, bottom and sides of your windows and doors for any breezes com-ing in around the trim. Adding caulk around the trim (either interior or exterior) can eliminate most of the air leaks. For more serious gaps, you may need to add foam insulation to stop the fl ow of air.

Pipe wrap is great for holding in the warmth or hot water lines and keeping pipes from cracking or breaking in the cold. Don’t be afraid of putting a couple of layers of wrap in the pipes if it’s going to get really cold.

Heaters are really handy when it gets cold. Oooo… great observation, Steve... Where I’m going with this is that they can be very useful in localized areas. If you have a greenhouse with plants that need special care, a small oil-fi lled radiator heater can make all the difference.

If you are working in the garage, you may need an electric or ceramic heater to keep you going. For additional heat in the bedrooms, any of these heaters will work for you there. The oil-fi lled radiator is the quietest of the bunch.

Our pets need warmth, too. Built-upº pet beds are very warm and soft. Who knows, your pet may actually enjoy that instead of being on your bed. Pet snuggies are another route you can take if your pet will tolerate wearing a blan-ket/sweater.

Dry and seasoned oak should be used to get a really warm fi re going. Gather your family and pets around the fi re and enjoy a cozy new year.

Warm wishes for the New Year

In addition to their regular schedule of performances, Mid Tex Symphony also pro-vides symphonic music programs for chil-dren. Each year in October they perform four free concerts for over 4,000 fourth and fi fth graders from public and private schools in Comal and Guadalupe counties and provides related curriculum material and CDs for their advance preparation.

The Symphony’s Christmas concert in-cludes performances by elementary school choruses from a local district. In February, young strings students who study at the Community Music Academy, cosponsored with Texas Lutheran University, perform in concert with the Symphony.

A Young Artist’s Competition is held annually in one of three rotating categories: voice, piano, and strings. Winners receive cash prizes and contracts to perform with the Mid-Texas Symphony.

In the Music Memory Competition fourth and fi fth grade stu-dents are introduced to classical composers and their works and compete for prizes to determine who has remembered the most about what they have learned.For more information on performances, music education or com-petitions held by Mid-Tex Symphony, call 830-372-8089 or 830-629-0336.

Canyon Animal Clinic helps seniors feed their pets

Mid Tex Symphony performs

Making the Difference: One business at a time

Give these folks a big hand for giving a helping hand...

Canyon Animal Clinic has joined efforts with Habitat for Safe Seniors to help feed our senior’s pets. Most of our seniors have pets as their only companions. Unfortunately, on their limited incomes it has become diffi cult for them to provide proper food for their beloved companions. Help our seniors feed their family member(s). Your donations can be dog food, cat food or a money donation and can be dropped off at Canyon Animal Clinic, 183� FM 2673, one block west of River Road.

Habitat for Safe Seniors, Inc. is located at 217� Old Sattler Road in Startzville. For more information, call them at 830-899-2256 or visit www.HabitatForSafeSeniors.com

Again this year, Fox’s Pizza in Sattler is lending a hand to our

Seniors and Habitat for Safe Seniors. Fox’s employees are donat-ing all tip money for the month of December to Habitat for Safe Seniors as they did last year.

Go by Fox’s Pizza, enjoy their food and know that your tip is helping our Seniors of Canyon Lake and Comal County through Habitat for Safe Seniors. They are also accepting nonperishable foods to donate to HSS. Thanks to the owners, Sandy and Wesley Whaley and employees – thank you for making the difference.

New Life Child� n’s CenterChristmas Fundraising underway

The Bulverde/Spring Branch Area Chamber of Commerce is planning a gala celebration for our business partners and the com-munity on Saturday, February 20, from 7pm to 11 pm. Webster’s Dictionary gives the defi nition of Mardi Gras as“…a day of mer-rymaking and carnival, as in New Orleans…” Although Mardi Gras usually means the celebration period leading up to and end-ing with the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the Chamber has a different idea. They are having Pardi Gras in the Hills, a carnival type celebration with fun music, great food, colorful masks, crazy clothes and beads!

This will be a fun event for everyone in the community to enjoy, not just Chamber members. The event will showcase winners of the Chamber’s annual awards and will give members of the community an opportunity to meet local business owners. There will be a silent auction at the event where businesses are invited to donate an item or gift certifi cate. This is a wonderful opportunity for your business to be recognized. Please contact the Chamber offi ce if you would like to donate an item or gift certifi cate.

The event will be held at the Vintage Oaks Amenity Center, 1110 Vintage Way, just 10 miles east of US 281 on Hwy 46. Tickets are $35 per person. The tickets include entrance to the event and food; a cash bar will be available for drinks. Join them for a fun fi lled event. Tickets are available at the Bulverde/Spring Branch Cham-ber offi ce and website, Allegra Print & Imaging, American Bank of Texas, Bulverde Hills Dental, Kathleen Banse State Farm, and Southerland Properties. Contact the Bulverde/Spring Branch Chamber offi ce for information or silent auction donations at 830-438-4285 or check their website at www.BulverdeSpringBranchChamber.com.

In this business of cooking and eat-ing, the holidays seem a glittery time for many of us, a time to savor rich foods and rubied wines, eggnog and exotic cheeses. It is a time of cold nights and the frosted diamonds of tiny white lights. It is the crunch of sparkling sugar cookies and the deep, dark slide of bittersweet chocolate.

It is a time of eating foods we never think about the rest of the year—candy canes and divinity, spice-laden steamed puddings and fruitcakes. Even abstemious ones who relegate themselves to spartan regimes or the occasional medicinal glass the rest of the year might fi nd the holidays a time to indulge in the single malt or the wassail. And all to the tune of our beautiful carols played, if we’re lucky, on the strings of lutes and harpsichords.

Indulgence can be a beautiful thing, and it can hurt like the netherworld the next morning. Or, it can leave you wondering if too much of a good thing is really all that wonderful. No wonder we break for the New Year with vows of diets and abstinence. No wonder we embrace January’s silence and sweep the dried needles of the fi r tree out the door with such vigor.

But I love the season and have learned to love it more by temper-ing the moments of glitter with the whisper of candlelight, alter-nating the dazzle of excess with an evening of comfort food. For every canapé of silken duck liver mousse with truffl es, let there be tender forkfuls of pot roast simmered all day in burgundy or bock, rife with tiny red new potatoes and mushroom caps, sweet carrots and pearl onions. Ladle that over mashed potatoes softened with butter and milk and parmesan cheese.

For every ribbon of smoked salmon layered over cream cheese and dill, capers and red onions, let their be an evening of creamy clam chowder and hearty bread with butter before the golden sleepy embers of a fi re. Forgo the carols for the night. Let the music be the voice of someone you love. Trade the velvets and lace for fl annel and drape yourself around the warm rounded back of the family dog.

In other words, pace yourself through the season. Revel in the excess, but remember that celebration works best in context, and the most beautiful music can only be heard in a landscape of still-ness. Find a way to balance the mad glitter of the holidays with the background melody of peace. Choose carefully from the table, then load your plate with joy.

May it last you all year long.

The balance of Christmas
