What will be the new normal?

Wimberley Valley News & Views

When deciding on a cover photograph for the News and Views this month the only prerequisite I had was that it bring a smile – even if only a slight one – to anyone who looked at it. The beautiful flower on our cover is representative of the lovely spring we are experiencing weather-wise although it contrasts significantly with other challenges facing us.

This issue is dedicated to looking forward from this point and asking, “what will be the new normal?” As humans, as Americans and Texans, we have weathered a lot of storms, physically and emotionally. We have drawn inspiration from generations who came before us who weathered their own storms, and created a new normal for their times. Now it is our turn. Our choices, large and small, will chart our new paths.

In a very short span of time we have been called upon to adapt to circumstances unforeseen even a month prior. Routines we took for granted have disappeared replaced by actions we are unsure of, trying to grow accustomed to. In this issue you will read how our article contributors, coming from their diverse fields of expertise, suggest handling our current situation.

As I recall from my history lessons, this is what our grandfathers and grandmothers did. Each choice broke untested ground with the end result uncertain. But they did it with a spirit of not giving up and doing their best for the common good. Their efforts gave birth to eras of prosperity and innovation from those dark times.

Whatever our new normal will be, I have faith that we as a community, as a nation will make choices to support each other.

Thank you for joining us.

The quiet spring Spring came more quietly this year. The annual greening of our hemisphere is more commonly accompanied by spring break vacations, baseball season, the Final Four, SXSW, and the multitude of social gatherings and festivals that color our

March and April every year.

Nestled in the sleeping forbs and grasses, bluebonnet rosettes have been growing all winter, establishing networks of leguminous roots, ready to erupt into the Texas vision at just the right time. Oak trees nursed swelling buds until they could no longer contain the store of green life within. Over the course of a few weeks, leaves and flowers and pollen stamens burst from their resting places into the fully committed growing season where we find ourselves now.

Maybe you have noticed that spring is different this year. Maybe you have had more time to walk around your place, noting the long panicles of oak catkins hanging beneath each cluster of sprouting leaves. The clusters of wild Drummond onions and garlic might have caught your eye and your nose as well. The long rainy and cloudy days of Spring likely bothered you more this year if you found yourself with little else to do in our newly cloistered world.

Nature never runs out of surprises. In the world we have recently invented, humans have moved from small villages between farms into massive cities home to millions of souls, dramatically changing the way we share everything, from transportation to illnesses. The space we have given one another in social distancing

and quarantines has given us not only some of the advantages of our species’ former population density but a pace of life that gives us space to explore more about ourselves and nature’s changing realities.

We will likely survive this quiet spring with a more acute appreciation of one another and our vegetable gardens, resting comfortably in the knowledge that Mother Nature still has us firmly in her hand.

Let’s be safe and lovingly tend our gardens and our families.

May we be good neighbors and remember to love extravagantly every day.

Markets disrupted In the wake of COVID-19 you may be wondering, among many other things, is it possible to buy or sell real estate in this market? Well, here are my thoughts and suggestions on the matter.

First, Wimberley has had a low inventory of homes and land for sale for several years. And this is still true today.

Currently, there are 72 homes for sale and we have only 57 tracts of land, ranging in size from 0.10 acre tracts to over 100 acres tracts. As you can see there is not a lot to choose from when you get down to specifics of what a buyer is looking to purchase in the Wimberley market.

So, when we come out of this pandemic, and we will, there will still be people that need to sell and those that need to buy real estate. I hope that once you are reading this we will have come out of the “Shelter in Place” and that life has gotten back to a new normal.

In today’s world of technology there are many things that realtors can do to market properties on the web such as video tours, drone footage, professional photos and virtual tours. In the coming months we will find that more of our business is done over the web, social media, Zoom calls and electronic signatures.

Having a good realtor representing you will be key to marketing and completing the sale of your property. A local realtor can Wimberley Valley News & Views

also help you with finding the right property to buy in these difficult times.

If you are selling a property, use this time at home to get it ready to sell. Add curb appeal by sprucing up the yard, painting and power washing. Declutter closets and rooms of items that will not be moving to your new home. A deep clean is in order to give your home that final sparkle.

Five symptoms you should not ignore You know there are health symptoms people should not overlook; it’s the same for trees. They often display key symptoms indicating that serious problems exist or could develop if ignored. Here are five that merit a call to a certified arborist for a professional assessment.

1. Obscured Root Collars: Most trees, even young ones, exhibit a distinct, visible flare where the stem (trunk) joins the root system. If this flare is covered by soil or mulch, then disease, girdling roots and insect infestations are more likely to occur. If this condition is allowed to continue untreated and disorders develop, the interruption of water flow from the roots to the branches will lead to the crown’s decline. Once the crown is affected, remedial treatments may be unsuccessful in arresting the failure. So, inspecting this critical region for disorders is important. Excavation of the buried root collar is a priority.

2. “Bleeding” on Stems and Branches: Wet spots on branches and stems indicate sap flow from wounds that could have been created by insect borers, disease pathogens or environmental disorders. The sap may be colonized by bacteria and other microorganisms resulting in a discolored flux that may have a sour odor.

3. Delayed Budbreak: Trees initiate new growth in spring depending on species, weather conditions and the health status of the

individual plant. If a plant seemed later than usual breaking bud and if the resulting new growth appears sparser than normal, this could indicate a root or vascular disorder. Delayed bud-break and a sparse crown are expected on newly planted trees.

4. Yellowing and Premature Loss of Leaves in Summer: On the interior portions of the crown may simply be indications of water stress (too little or too much) soil moisture. These symptoms commonly occur on birch, maple, tulip tree and other shallow-rooted plants. In some cases, these symptoms may be an early indication of a root or soil disorder that is inhibiting water uptake.

5. Premature Autumn Color and Leaf Drop: Trees under stress will frequently develop autumn coloration early and cast their leaves prematurely. This condition is most commonly associated with serious root and soil disorders but also can be caused by vascular diseases and certain boring insects.

The story of my life, so far I, like many people, love a good story. I’ve always been a reader, taking out stacks of books at a time to read within a week and back to the library to do it again the next time. But as a little kid, I never really knew what a library could do for a community. When I first came to the Wimberley Village Library, shortly after moving to Texas, I found a library that didn’t just offer books and other media, but a fun and welcoming place I could delve into the stories I wanted to and be supported as well. I knew pretty much immediately that I wanted to volunteer over the summer, and when I was old enough I began to spend my summers getting to know the library’s collection and staff. It might sound cheesy, but I really can’t imagine what my life would be like if I had decided not to volunteer! I definitely wouldn't be as connected to my community. The library has helped me forge connections I will remember for the rest of my life.

But I don’t love the Wimberley Village Library just because I’m a bookworm. I hold the firm belief that a library is a priceless part of a strong community. The library provides a calm public space for everybody, it provides internet access (which is becoming more and more of a necessity), it provides print, digital, and audio media for free, it provides entertaining programs for all age groups, the li-

brary acts as a place to find opportunity and get lost in a good book no matter who you are. The library has seen me learn and grow as a person, and I can’t thank it enough for that.

Hello! My name is Kendall Camacho, I’m 17 and go to school at Wimberley High School. I’ve volunteered at the Wimberley Village Library for the last five years and wouldn’t change it for a thing!

Some of my hobbies include drawing, painting and creating things such as jewelry and making knickknacks out of clay. You can often find me with my head in a book, but I love a good conversation about what I’m reading, so don’t be afraid to ask for the title!

Spring into action What a banner year for wildflowers! Everything is so green and we’ve been blessed with an abundance of rain. Hard to imagine in a few months we will lamenting about the heat.

This time of year is a great to get outside. If you missed the window for engaging someone to redo those tired beds, remove some lawn and plant a hummingbird or bee garden.

Many of us get stuck in our surroundings because it’s what we see everyday. Time to make a list of things you’d like to see change or improve, get some cost estimates and prioritize for the future.

If you’ve got a veggie garden in place, snatch up four-inch pots of your favorite items to enjoy throughout the summer. Check on irrigation systems, which can easily be changed over to drip in your beds. Less water loss, less outlay of cash. Great time also for a good spring clean-up. With our crazy weather, who knew when to cut things back or when the last freeze would be?

If you’ve got the space, and enjoy a bit of gardening, why not start a compost pile? Leaves, cut grass and kitchen scraps, with plenty of sunshine yield the best additive for your garden beds or for feeding your vegetable plants. If you are a procrastinator, Wimberley Valley News & Views

Almost every new refrigerator available today comes with a built-in activated carbon filter designed to improve taste or odor. Most models also have some type of reminder system that tells you when to replace the filter cartridge.

Many people have questions about these filters. Is it necessary to have the filter in the first place? If so, how important is it to change that filter as soon as the reminder is activated? Here are a few interesting facts about these filters that may help clear up some confusion and possibly save you some money in the long run.

There are two main types of filter change reminders in today’s refrigerator models. The most common is a basic timer system.

This system will simply count down a pre-set amount of time (usually six months) and then activate a light which tells you to replace the filter. The main drawback to this method is that it does not take into account the volume of water used. For example, you could go six months without using the ice or water dispenser and the unit will still indicate that it’s time to change the filter. It’s a fair assumption that the majority of these filters are thrown away far too soon. The other type of reminder system is a little less common.

It involves a flow meter which counts gallons as they are used through the dispenser. This is a more efficient method than the timer because it actually measures water usage.

Unfortunately, neither technology knows what your incoming water quality is. This can greatly affect the lifespan of the filter.

If you are on a chlorinated water supply, your filter life will be shorter. If you have a whole house treatment system, like a softener or carbon filter, then the life of your filter would be greatly increased. If your refrigerator is fed by a reverse osmosis system, then your built-in filter becomes completely unnecessary and can be removed or bypassed.

Each case is slightly different, but at $40-$60 per filter it pays to know the facts so you aren’t wasting money on unnecessary replacements.

Wow. what a ride!

So of course we are shut down. And, new opportunities are everywhere! We just have to look for them. And we have to learn newly. And we have to do the work. And we have the time, so what a blessing this is.

As for us, we are online, now, giving free yoga classes every day at 10 o’clock in the morning on our Facebook page. We cater to seniors as well as others, so we had to learn this. Those without Facebook can Google “Wimberley Karate and Yoga Studio Facebook” and get to our page. When Facebook asks for a sign-in, just click “not now.” You’ll be forwarded to our page. And once you are there, you can scroll down to see the older videos or you can see the live videos at 10 o’clock.

You can do this with any Facebook page that is public. That means anyone can still go to church and do all the online things that people are doing. I highly recommend learning how and getting people to help you if you can’t figure it out.

Through Zoom, I’m doing meetings that I’d quit doing because it was hard for me to sit through them. Plus, I was tired of driving to Austin. But it is easy to clean the house while listening. The same type of thing has happened with church. And yoga – I can follow or not! Sometimes – okay a lot of times – I like to do my own thing, then follow the teacher again a few minutes later.

Our karate is going online, too, but it is slower because more is

Skin cells are short-lived with a rapid turnover rate, meaning nutrients needed to build new cells must readily be on hand.

Omega-3s are a key component in the fatty membranes of skin cells. Without this special type of fat on hand, the body must build new cells with “inferior” fats, resulting in less than optimal skin health. As we age, getting enough Omega-3s is even more important as they are necessary to ensure healthy cell membranes that keep skin hydrated.

The primary cause of skin aging is the sun’s UV rays. Think of Omega-3s as internal sunscreen. The two kinds of Omega-3s found in fish oil, EPA and DHA increase resistance to UV light and act as protection from harmful free-radicals formed when unprotected skin is exposed to the sun. EPA goes one step further to help block the release of UV-induced enzymes that break down collagen which leads to fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.

Any condition that ends in -itis indicates a problem associated with inflammation. Dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea and eczema are inflammatory conditions of the skin. If you’ve visited a dermatologist lately, chances are he/she probably didn’t speak with you about your diet. A number of credible studies strongly correlate the Western diet with inflammatory skin conditions, acne and oily skin, Wimberley Valley News & Views

specifically dairy, refined carbohydrates and grain foods. Along with diet changes, Omega-3s can improve these conditions by greatly reducing silent inflammation in your body. Unlike acute inflammation from surgery or injury, silent (chronic) inflammation is much more dangerous because it isn’t readily apparent. If left untreated, it can lead to serious health conditions like heart disease, arthritis and possibly even some types of cancer.

Whether you’re goal is to fight aging, reduce inflammation, clear up acne or simply improve your skin’s health and appearance, high quality Omega-3 supplements are great additions to your beauty regimen.

Oral cancer awareness Our office is not only dedicated to your smile, we’re also dedicated to your overall wellness. Dr. Donnelly includes an oral cancer screening as a part of your regular exam and cleaning. The Oral Cancer Foundation estimates that 53,000 Americans will be newly diagnosed with oral cancer in 2019.

There are two distinct causes of oral cancer. One is through the use of tobacco and alcohol, a long term historic problem and cause, and the other is through exposure to the HPV-16 virus, the same one which is responsible for the vast majority of cervical cancers in women. While some think this is a rare cancer, oral cancer will be newly diagnosed in about 100 new individuals each day in the U.S. alone, and a person dies from oral cancer every hour of every day.

Unfortunately, the majorities are found as late stage cancers, and this accounts for the very high death rate of about 45% at five years from diagnosis. Lack of diagnosis is not occurring because most of these cancers are hard to discover, it is because of a lack of public awareness and patients waiting to seek treatment because of it. You are the most important factor in the early diagnosis of oral cancer through routine screenings at our office.

We have the skills and tools to ensure that early signs and symptoms of oral cancer and pre-cancerous conditions are identi-

fied. The most common symptoms include red or white spots or sores anywhere in your oral cavity, a sore that bleeds easily or does not heal, a lump, thickening or rough spot, or pain, tenderness or numbness anywhere in the mouth or on the lips.

The best way to prevent oral cancer is to avoid all tobacco products and only drink alcohol in moderation, maintain a healthy, balanced diet, and limit your exposure to the sun.

Remember to schedule your regular checkups for everyone in your family at least twice a year, and if you notice any unusual changes, lumps or bumps schedule a visit immediately by calling 512-3965225. Voted Best Dentist in Hays County and recognized as a Super Dentist in Texas Monthly Magazine.

A little crash course on viruses Last month, when I wrote my article, COVID-19 was mere background noise.

Now, it is almost everything. Friends and family have been asking about how viruses work and I thought this might be a good time to clear up some questions.

What is a virus anyway? They are like nothing else we encounter and are essentially tiny packages of genetic material with the sole "purpose" of reproducing by attaching to a functioning cell (animal, plant, bacterial), injecting their own genetic material into the victim cell, taking over the entire function of that cell and turning it into a factory to make more viruses, and then killing the host cell releasing those viruses to restart the cycle elsewhere. Viruses are not "alive" as we think of things; can’t reproduce on their own, they don’t have any metabolism, they don’t “eat,” and can’t move on their own, and they do not have any “parts” other than the virus genetic material that they exist to inject into a host. They have a capsule to encase the genetics, and the device to inject the material like tiny little hypodermic syringes.

Probably they are the most numerous quasi-life form on the planet. The vast majority of them do not bother humans but we are well aware of many of them. Influenza, the common cold, Hepatitis of several varieties, Measles, Mumps, Chicken Pox, Shingles, Herpes, and HIV are all viruses, and there are many more. All the genetic mixing inside the infected host cell leaves lots of room for genetic errors. Most of those genetic replication errors are “deadWimberley Valley News & Views

ends” and the virus cannot replicate. Some of them are wildly and terrifyingly successful and result in a pandemic.

You can’t see them except with an electron microscope. They can go right through most facemasks unless it is a N95 mask designed to filter viruses. The most successful viruses will cause a symptom such as sneezing, coughing, or diarrhea that will spread the virus, but generally not kill the host, most of the time. A virus that routinely and quickly kills its host will not go very far. Coronavirus has been so successful because most people infected will spread the virus and then get over it. The problem is that it does kill too often which is why we are all more worried about it than we would be if infection just meant a few days of fever and cough.

Fortunately, most viruses provoke a huge immune response in the host and are eventually preventable with vaccines, once the vaccine is perfected. This will “train” the immune system to recognize Coronavirus. It won’t stop it from trying to enter your body, but it will find an overwhelming defense waiting to snuff it out.

But viruses can change year to year, requiring updated vaccines.

Another form of Coronavirus has been a threat to Alpacas for about 15 years. A vaccine exists for Alpaca Coronavirus disease prevention that our alpacas get every year. There is hope that we will soon have the same prevention for humans.

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.

A snapshot of bull and bear markets in our history

by Scott G. Hackett, CFP®

The longest bull market in history lasted almost 11 years before coronavirus fears and the realities of a seriously disrupted U.S. economy brought it to an end.

If you are losing sleep over volatility driven by a cascade of disheartening news, it may help to remember that the stock market is historically cyclical. There have been 10 bear markets (prior to this one) since 1950, and the market has recovered eventually every time.

Bear markets are typically defined as declines of 20% or more from the most recent high, and bull markets are increases of 20% or more from the bear market low. But there is no official declaration, so in some cases there are different interpretations regarding when these cycles begin and end.

On average, bull markets lasted longer (1,955 days) than bear markets (431 days) over this period, and the average bull market advance (172.0%) was greater than the average bear market decline (-34.2%).

The bottom line is that neither the ups nor the downs last forever, even if they feel as though they will. During the worst downturns, there were short-term rallies and buying opportunities. And

in some cases, people have profited over time by investing carefully just when things seemed bleakest.

Heartworm testing

by Tracy Sheffield, RVT

Wimberley2x3.pdf

6/6/07

It seems like there is a society or association for just about everything. Here are a few interesting ones. The American Association of Candy Technologists, The Association for the Preservation of the Coelacanth and one that can help everybody, The Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor.

There is a society whose work has saved the life of countless dogs, The American Heartworm Society. The American Heartworm Society keeps everyone informed on how to keep your dog safe from this known killer.

The first thing the AHS does is keep track of the incidence of the disease. They provide maps that show the prevalence of heartworm disease across the country. Texas always makes the top five.

The maps also show that the prevalence in Texas has been rising over the last twenty years.

Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes. It can take a newly infected dog up to six months to test positive for the disease. Dogs, cats and ferrets are all susceptible to heartworms. Symptoms of heartworm disease match those of many cardiac conditions including coughing, fatigue, rapid breathing and pale gum color.

Many people are understandably confused about heartworm testing protocols. Because of the potentially long time from infection to a positive test, multiple tests over a period of months may be needed to truly establish if the animal is positive or negative.

There is a wide variety of choices when it comes to preventing heartworm infection. This is where a conversation with your veterinarian really matters. There are three different types of protection, topical, oral and injectable. Some only address heartworm prevention, others take on internal parasites or address flea reproduction.

Owners need to be aware of what the different products do and they need to be sure what they are giving. Some oral products treat fleas and ticks but don't address heartworms. Owners give these in the mistaken belief that they are protecting against heartworms as well.

Talk with your veterinarian about heartworm testing and prevention to get all the answers. Don't forget to ask about heartworm care for cats and ferrets as well.
