Finding the thankful

Wimberley Valley News & Views

Last year my husband and I flew to Minneapolis for Thanksgiving. All of his family–three sisters, a brother, their grown children and toddler grandchildren plus his mother who still plays golf and tennis at the age of eighty-six– live within thirty minutes of each other.

We gathered at his sister’s house which can accommodate such a large group.

Instead of turkey, the traditional meal is lasagna. Lots and lots of lasagna. I recall joking to my husband that the only turkey present that evening was the adorable crudités arrangement with hummus which his niece made and brought. He said it might make a fun cover for our November issue the following year, so he–being the professional photographer that he is–pulled out his super sophisticated camera and shot photos of it.

That turkey did indeed make the cover this year, but not only for the reason that it is a clever and cute representation. This year we will not be flying to Minnesota, or anywhere else, for the holiday. (We actually haven’t been on a plane since February.) There won’t be a gathering of the loving and boisterous family at his sister’s house. She and her husband were in complete self-quarantine for over six months and have carefully social distanced only occasionally since then. Other family members have ventured out due to work obligations (one is a nurse), and have practiced protocols they feel maintain the safety of themselves and others. I believe we have all handled sorting out how to proceed with our daily lives very well.

Our cover this issue reminds me of the cherished time I spend with family, the memories I create, and how to try my best to always recognize and be thankful for the moments I have with them.

Change is constant in our lives; sometimes sudden and unbidden.

But if we are flexible in action and spirit looking to move forward with the greatest good in mind, we will find our balance. And we can still celebrate. I look at my niece’s vegan turkey and smile for what it means to me.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Thank you for joining us.

Superpowers As deciduous leaves of many colors begin their graceful descent to the ground, it seems an appropriate time to explore the long relationship between humans and trees. It may be more important than you think.

From the times when our foreparents huddled under overhanging rock ledges, warming themselves and cooking food over an open fire, our need for wood has multiplied as our populations soared. Trees have provided safety to us through the ages as the primary building material for shelter from the elements and threats of all kinds.

In the Texas Hill Country, shade from surrounding trees is all that stands between us and the blazing Texas summer sun, with the bonus of adding value and beauty to our homes while saving us cooling costs. Virtually all wildlife is dependent on trees for food, forage, and overall habitat. Bird lovers appreciate how trees provide sap, buds, nuts, and fruit for birds, as well as hosting insects in bark and leaves. Trees are the main source of roosting shelter for many birds, with branches and leaves for nests and nesting material.

One of the most critical of the natural balances on our planet is the gas exchange between animals and plants. Through the superpower of photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water and use the light of the sun to make food for the tree. An important part of that chemical reaction is the oxygen released by the tree.

by Tim Thompson

Besides absorbing ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide, trees sequester carbon dioxide in their fibers, helping to clean the air and reduce the negative effects that growing levels of CO2 are having on our environment. In fact, it is estimated that one mature tree will absorb forty-eight pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while releasing oxygen in exchange.

If you step out your door, you will probably see hundreds of these amazing beings, living their long lives, cleaning our air, giving us the very breath we breathe, and sharing their beauty with all the world. It is probably worth a thank you.

How to make a big impact on your credit score

by Alice Gumbert Lebkuecher

Pay bills on time. Payment history, which myFico revealed makes up about 35% of your FICO Score, has the singlebiggest effect on your credit score. By law, late payments cannot be sent to the reporting bureaus until they are 30 days overdue (though you can still incur late fees). Staying on top of credit card payments and making sure any outstanding bills don’t go to collections is critical – these dings can stay on your credit report for seven years.

Reduce your credit card balances; or don’t carry a balance.

Set up automatic payments whenever feasible (automating also ensures your bills will be paid on time). Paying off credit cards monthly is a great way to keep your credit-to-debt ratio down, and see long-term benefits reflected in your score. You do not need to carry a balance on your cards to improve your credit.

Apply for new accounts only when you need to. And only when you have a plan to pay them off. There should be a significant advantage to applying for a new card or line of credit. Showing too much new credit can drain your score. Length of history is responsible for about 15% of your credit score. It’s important to show you’ve been able to keep accounts with a long history wellmaintained. Often, when making a big purchase like a mattress or an exercise bike, a company will offer its own financing but doing Wimberley Valley News & Views

this is opening a new account and counts against your credit.

Check your credit report for errors. Lenders and credit score reporting bureaus aren’t perfect. Mistakes can be made that have serious implications for your score. Lender clerical errors, giving an inaccurate SNN, applying for credit under different names, or the reporting bureau inadvertently applying loan or credit information to the wrong account are all examples of potential issues. myFICO explains how to fix errors on your report, and you can check your credit report for free once a year at AnnualCreditReport.com.

Planting new trees: Timing and technique You may already know that fall and winter are great times to plant trees in Texas. But you might not realize that what your tree looks like out of the pot and how it’s planted can make all the difference in its survival. The following steps will increase your tree’s chances of thriving: Inspect the root system. Roots may have circled their pots during the growing process, and these can girdle and eventually kill the tree. Loosen and spread out the roots.

If some circling roots have become woody, they may need to be cut (not torn).

Locate the root flare, the place where roots begin to spread at the stem base. If too much soil was added to the growing pot at the nursery, roots may have grown up over the root flare, and the root flare should not be buried.

Dig a hole three to five times the diameter of the root ball and not too deep. A narrow hole encourages root circling and inhibits good establishment. Since roots begin establishment within the top foot of soil, planting too deep will deprive roots of adequate oxygen. Positioning the root flare slightly above the soil line will encourage better root health.

Apply a two- to four-inch layer of wood-chip mulch to the drip

line away from the trunk. This will help moderate temperatures, retain moisture, improve soil quality, and discourage lawnmower and weed-whacker damage of the trunk and surface roots. Do not build the mulch around the stem “volcano” fashion.

Stake trees only if necessary. Trees need movement to develop girth, taper, and healthy roots. A description for proper staking, and other great tips on tree care, may be found at www.treesaregood.org.

Monitor moisture needs. Moisture deprivation is a common reason for young-tree death. A generous watering delivered quickly won’t have time to saturate the root ball. A slow watering with a soaker hose (or similar method) will ensure more effective moisture delivery. Avoid the urge to overwater.

Following these steps and planting now will give your tree a head start as it takes root in its new home.

Reasons to sell now In today’s market, sellers are getting top dollar for their homes while recordlow interest rates are helping others lower their mortgage payment. Here is why it’s time to get your home on the market.

• Homes are Selling Quickly: In June 2020, homes were on the market for an average of 24 days, and 62% of homes were on the market for less than a month. Listing now could result in a much quicker and easier home-selling experience.

• Inventory Is Tight: Your home is a hot commodity! Currently, it would take about four months to sell all the homes on the market, which favors sellers.

• Buyer Demand Is Up: After spending so much time at home, many buyers are ready to safely dive back into the market for houses that better fit the needs of their new normal. Data suggests that pending home sales activity has sharply climbed since April.

• Prices Are Increasing: Because inventory’s been tight, this led to significant price increases during and even before the pandemic.

This means that if you list now, you’re more likely to get top dollar for your home.

If you are wondering what your own home would look like on the market, give me a call! I am happy to run a comparative market analysis to see what homes in your neighborhood are going for right now. At the end of the day, real estate is local, and I’m happy to walk you through what’s going on and how it applies to you in the Wimberley – Texas Hill Country area.

Democracy and your library When people think of democracy, they rarely think about how important their local community library is in maintaining our democratic principles. Our ongoing democratic experiment is built and sustained on the idea that an educated, informed public will vote on the leadership and issues that impact the di-

rection of our nation.

Public schools start us off with the basics, with school and public libraries supporting the efforts all along the way. After our formal education, it is the community public library that freely provides the support for lifelong learning so essential for a healthy, functioning democracy. Libraries by nature are democratic and non-partisan as they serve a vast range of ideologies and interests.

Librarians are available to serve each patron and his or her unique ideologies. They create an environment that promotes and encourages inquiry and critical thinking about complex issues and provide credible resources needed to explore old and new ideas from different perspectives. Libraries and librarians are committed to lifelong learning and democratic values for all of the community.

Andrew Carnegie, a 19th-century industrialist and philanthropist, was committed to helping communities establish public libraries. So much so, that he donated much of his wealth in order to establish community libraries where people of all backgrounds

could freely engage in the ongoing learning process. The following quote by Andrew Carnegie shows the passion and vision he had for the public library and its influence in the community: “There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Free Public Library. A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never-failing spring in the desert.”

Libraries have been and are now great equalizers in our nation. They are community beacons that say, Come inside (or get online), ask questions, learn more, explore new thoughts about the issues you will be voting on. Democracy is alive and well at the Wimberley Village Library.

Suzanne Davis is a retired public-school librarian. She lives and volunteers in Wimberley serving on the Wimberley Village Library Foundation Board as well as supporting other nonprofits serving the Wimberley area.

Time to start the ball rolling Happy fall to all of you! Too many days of triple digit highs left many of our gardens, whether vegetable or landscaped areas, needing more shade and a lot more water. We were all scratching our heads, wondering what to do.

Keeping all of this in mind, the up side is it allowed us to rethink our spaces.

Fall is a great time to address issues concerning hardscapes as well as some easy-to-install drip irrigation for those perennial and evergreen areas. It’s also a good time to look into plunking down some hard earned money on shade trees which accomplish a few things – providing shade, home to birds and allowing for areas that aren’t beaten to death by the sun’s rays are just a few. Changing out plants that are too needy to those more native and adaptive to our area also can give you the same look you strive for without breaking the bank when it comes to maintenance as well as water.

I like to think of our climate as having mostly two seasons.

Maybe you only need weeding and cutting back twice a year. This helps save money to be used on other outdoor things. Patios, dry creeks and fire pits allow us to remove some of that grass and still create a usable space. All of those things can be tucked into a drainage plan that no one knows has been addressed but you! In assessing what worked and what didn’t, it’s also a time to check on yourself.

One major water quality issue shared by many of us is water which emits a rotten egg odor caused by hydrogen sulfide gas. This problem is unique to homes whose water source is a private well, as municipal and community water supplies are required to treat the water at the source. In the past, getting rid of rotten egg odor has been inconvenient and expensive, but recent advances have made eliminating it a much easier task to accomplish.

One common method of treating well water for hydrogen sulfide was to inject chlorine directly into the water as it is pumped from the ground. These chlorine systems can often be maintenance intensive and prone to breakdown. It is also difficult to maintain a consistent level of chlorine without constant monitoring. Additionally the homeowner is responsible for proper dilution rates so as to avoid exposure to high levels of this caustic chemical.

Another way of removing odor is to use a well water storage tank, allowing the release of the gases. This is an effective way to remove the gas without harmful chemicals, but it typically requires a large amount of space, as well as a separate pump to re-pressurize the water. Unfortunately, storing water in a tank subjects it to possible bacterial contamination from outside sources.

Ultraviolet disinfection and filtration are usually recommended when water is stored in a holding tank. There are benefits to this type of system, but the need for extra equipment can be cost prohibitive for many.

Many people aren’t aware that reliable, user-friendly equipment has been developed which will aerate and filter your water inside a sealed, pressurized tank. This tank takes up very little space and can be used alone or as pre-treatment for a water softener. The result is water that is completely free of hydrogen sulfide, iron and any sediment that may come from your well, without the need for chemicals or maintenance by the homeowner. Contact your favorite licensed water treatment specialist to discuss details on how to make your water smell better!

Pride stance I believe the pride stance is the most important thing we do. It is usually not even in our consciousness, but maybe it should be.

Stand up and act like you are Superman or Superwoman. Be Superman or Superwoman. Put your hands on your hips, and ground your feet. Feel the power coming up from your feet, all the way through your body, and out of your head. Your chest and chin will automatically rise a bit. Your shoulders will fall back. Your power will not come from your head. It will come from your heart and gut. Better decisions are often made from this place.

Strength and connection come form the heart and gut. Uncertainty and disconnection come from the head.

When the chest is out, you are automatically physically stronger, too. Biomechanically, to perform a task from this position, you easily recruit more muscles from the upper body all the way down through the legs. When moving, safety and strength come from all of those muscles working together instead of just a few.

The pride stance is something that should be practiced and built, like we build muscles. It involves muscles, but it also builds energy. Nerves are built stronger, and energy is focused. The key to the stance is the sternum or heart being raised up and out. Raise it by feeling it being pulled into position instead of feeling like it is a push to get it there. It is being pulled, because it is the natural

by Sarah Geenberg

state for it to be there. Let all of the great things in life pull it up.

That is where we are balanced.

At first, you will feel like you constantly fall out of it and have to pick yourself back up. And you do. And every time you fall, it takes energy to pick yourself up. But once you get stronger and don’t fall as often, you will decide that you don’t like to use your energy to pick yourself up. You will get used to using your energy in better ways. You become reluctant to allow a fall, and that also helps you become stronger.

We now offer small outside and in-studio classes as well as online.

Developing good oral hygiene habits at home

by Robert Donnelly, DDS

In addition to visiting the dentist for regular checkups and cleanings at least twice a year, it's important to maintain good oral health care at home. Brushing and flossing your teeth properly, as well as using mouth rinse, minimize your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

In order to effectively remove cavity-causing bacteria, you should brush your teeth for two minutes twice a day. Hold your tooth brush at a 45-degree angle to your teeth and brush in a circular or elliptical motion, pressing just firmly enough to reach between your teeth. Brushing too hard or using a sawing motion could cause your gums to recede and damage your teeth. Start brushing at the gumline and work your way down onto the teeth, brushing a couple of teeth at a time until you cover your entire mouth. Make sure to brush the outside and inside of your teeth, the chewing surfaces and between teeth, as well as your tongue. Always make sure to use a soft-bristled brush because hard bristles can damage your teeth and gums. Old toothbrushes with worn and frayed bristles are ineffective and may harbor harmful bacteria. Make sure to change your toothbrush every three to four months or after an illness.

When it comes to choosing the best toothpaste for you, it's important to think about your unique oral health needs. Some toothpastes aim to alleviate pain associated with sensitive teeth or to control plaque and tartar, and even remove stains and whiten teeth.

If you are not sure of the best kind of toothpaste for you, I can Wimberley Valley News & Views

always help you to determine which is right for you.

Flossing is just as important as brushing your teeth. Flossing removes plaque and debris between your teeth, polishes the surfaces of the teeth, helps control bad breath and reduces your risk of gum disease. Floss for two or three minutes at least once a day, using an up-and-down motion and making sure to floss below the gumline.

Mouthwash you can use to help freshen breath and prevent tooth decay. Research shows that using a germ-killing mouthwash in addition to brushing your teeth can reduce plaque and gingivitis more that brushing alone.

Lost chances Some of the ways that the coronavirus pandemic has touched all of our lives, besides masks, social distancing, hand sanitizer, and increased anxiety, have been the disappointing lost opportunities that are the casualties of these necessary protective behavior. It’s not just cancelled vacation plans, but plans that are more difficult to change, like weddings, or impossible to replace, like the pageant of graduations. It was someone’s dream to start at a certain college in 2020, and suddenly college starts are delayed, student life is ruined, athletic events are cancelled. High school seniors have been waiting years to play on the varsity and now the varsity is sidelined. Band concerts and recitals, the culmination of years of practice, aren’t happening. 2020 will likely be the year of a very muted ability to celebrate the holidays in the way we all love. Olympic athletes, particularly the gymnasts, have such a narrow window of peak ability, that their big chance may have come and gone this last summer. From a personal standpoint, our national medical meetings which take years of preparation have all been canceled, or gone virtual, representing a monumental amount of lost effort by the planners. These are but a few examples of lost opportunities created by this pandemic.

Normally, we go to eight or nine Alpacas shows a year. This year we went to two, both before March. Being that alpaca farms are fairly far apart and located out in the country, Alpaca shows are Wimberley Valley News & Views

by Kern Deschner

vital for sharing ideas, adjusting breeding decisions, and simply comparing your work to everybody else’s. Without the ability to compare your herd to others, it’s very difficult to know where you stand. In our 2020 crop of babies, we think we have some winners, but they’re not going to be babies when a show happens at last. We don’t know when the next alpaca show will be since they take a year or more to plan. There are going to be lost opportunities that occur as a result of alpaca farms being in a virtual cocoon.

I believe the pandemic will end and life will begin to return to a semblance of normal. Something that would, in the past, have been fairly mundane, such as being able to safely go to a football game, a recital hall, a movie, or a Christmas party, will be thrilling when we can finally go back again. That first alpaca show is going to certainly be crowded with everyone wanting to get back into the ring. There will be two years, or more if COVID torments us longer, of new alpacas to show in that first new season. Breeders, with a limit to how many alpacas they can bring to a show, are going to have to be picky in who they bring. I think we’re going to see some stunning Alpacas. Some of them will be ours. I’m looking forward to how incredibly sweet these formerly normal things are going to be when they are again normal.

Rhonda and Kern Deschner are experienced alpaca ranchers raising alpacas through all kinds of Texas weather since 1997. Tierra Prometida Alpaca Ranch can be visited by calling Rhonda at 512753-9962, or at tierra@alpacausa.com.

Portfolio performance: Benchmarks Dramatic market swings have been common in 2020, and wild gyrations of the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500 occur daily. The performance of these major indexes is widely reported and analyzed in detail by financial news outlets.

These indexes are useful tools for tracking U.S. stock market trends; however, many investors mistakenly think of them as benchmarks for the performance of their own portfolios. It doesn't make sense to compare a broadly diversified, multi-asset portfolio to just one of its own components.

Expecting portfolio returns to meet or beat "the market" in good times is usually unrealistic, unless you are willing to expose onehundred percent of your savings to the risk and volatility associated with stock investments. If you have a well-diversified portfolio, you might be relieved to see that your portfolio doesn't drop as much as the market when stocks fall.

Asset Allocation is Personal: Investor portfolios are typically divided among asset classes that tend to perform differently under different market conditions. An appropriate mix of stocks, bonds, and other investments depends on the investor's age, risk tolerance, and financial goals.

by Scott G. Hackett, CFP®

Rarely is there a single benchmark that matches the composition of your individual portfolio. A combination of several benchmarks may provide a more meaningful performance picture.

Perspective: Seasoned investors understand that short-term results may have little to do with the effectiveness of a long-term investment strategy. The desire to become a more disciplined investor is often tested by the arrival of your account statements.

Making decisions based on last year's or month's performance figures may not be wise, because diversified assets do not always perform the same from one period to the next. When an investment experiences dramatic upside performance, much of the opportunity for market gains may have already passed. Conversely, moving out of an investment when it has a down period could take you out of a position to benefit when that market segment starts to recover.

Although there is nothing you can do about global economic conditions or the returns delivered by the financial markets, you can control your own behavior. Evaluating investment results through the correct lens will help you make appropriate adjustments and plan effectively for the future.

Litigation: Something old - Something new Some of you who have read my articles over the past 11 years may recognize some of the articles I’ll be updating and publishing here over the next few months. Some newer readers will see those articles for the first time, while I hope that others of you will enjoy being reminded of some of the information I’ve sought to pass along over the years. Since some of my articles address legal issues suggested by current events, I may occasionally throw in current information, either as an update of an earlier article or as a completely new piece.

I have gotten to know many of you as a byproduct of these articles. Some of you have sought my assistance, and when your need was better addressed by a different flavor of lawyer, I’ve tried to suggest one or more of the other fine lawyers who serve our communities. I was honored recently when many of those lawyers selected me in a poll conducted by a county-wide publisher as Hays County’s best personal injury lawyer. [San Marcos Daily Record, Wimberley View and Dripping Springs, Dripping Springs Century News: https://rolandslaw.com/hays-county-bestattorneys/ Whether that distinction is deserved or not, my current practice is, in fact, almost exclusively focused on helping victims of other’s negligent conduct to recover damages for their injuries.

Nevertheless, I continue to welcome the opportunity to assist folks who contact me in finding lawyers who can help them with other Wimberley Valley News & Views

types of cases.

Titles of articles you’ll be seeing in the months ahead will include some such as How to Stay Out of Court, Sit Down. Shut Up., “My Lawyer Sold Me Out”, “We Won?”, Why Trial Lawyers Try, You Lost, What’s Next? I do my best to make these articles interesting, entertaining, and potentially useful to you in the event you or someone close to you becomes involved with lawyers and litigation. Some of the articles become a part of my blog found at www.your-personal-injury-lawyer.law where you can review them. Some of my colleagues from other parts of the state are surprised when I tell them how much feedback I get from the articles.

I then share with them how privileged I feel to live in an area where so many people are passionate about expanding their horizons. Thank you for being part of that wonderful audience.

All bark

by Tracy Sheffield, RVT

Wimberley2x3.pdf

6/6/07

All Bark and No Bite There is a joke that starts with two dogs looking at each other. One says to the other, “I used to have my own blog, but I decided to go back to pointless, excessive barking.”

There is research being done on why dogs bark, what it means and who is supposed to understand what it means. There are different barks for different circumstances. The bark for a visitor arriving will sound different than the bark when a snake has been found. Barking in these situations is normal and appropriate.

However, if the barking at a visitor continues long after the immediate arrival, it can become quite the annoyance. These are the types of situations where doing something about the barking becomes important.

First and foremost, any anti-bark device you purchase from an old issue of SkyMall is unlikely to solve your problem. If you want the barking to lessen, behavior changes will help address the issue of barking.

How do you change behavior? One of the more effective methods of behavior training is called clicker training. It is a powerful tool for training desirable behaviors and it works on dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats and more. Yes, you can train your guinea pig and your rabbit to do things using clicker training. Perhaps most amazingly, you can use clicker training so your cat will happily jump into their cat carrier.

Back to the issue of barking. You need to determine if the barking is part of a larger pattern of behavior perhaps based in fear, aggression, separation anxiety or even boredom. Once the behaviors that create the barking are identified, there are ways to use clicker training to replace the undesirable behavior with a more acceptable behavior.

Talk with your veterinarian about introducing clicker training to your dog to help with this issue. Your veterinarian can help you identify behavior patterns that can be improved with clicker training. Clicker training for your dog, or for any of your pets can make life with your pet more fun for both you and your pet.
