Note From The Publisher November-The Month Of Generosity
ecember 10, 2016! Have you saved the date? Where will you be? If you’re like one of thousands of San Antonio families, you’ll definitely be at the 14th annual Winter Celebration! Located at North Central Baptist Hospital again this year, Winter Celebration will kick-off the holiday season with 60,000 pounds of snow, rides, food and SANTA! Co-Host North Central Baptist Hospital will be there to assist with wellness checks, access to local doctors, and plenty of arts and crafts stations for the little ones. It’s also important to remember the reason for the season. Winter Celebration helps to raise money and toys for children in the care of the Department of Family and Protective Services in Bexar County. Non-profit organization Living Through Giving, Welcome Home Community Newspaper and North Central Baptist Hospital truly believe that every child deserves a holiday season to remember, especially those who are facing difficult circumstances during a time that should be filled with joy. Living Through Giving and Welcome Home Community Newspaper’s annual toy drive begins November 1. Check out livingthroughgivingsa.org to find out where to donate toys this year; many local businesses and schools are on board to help. And of course, bring a toy or donation to Winter Celebration on December 10! So mark your calendar today, gather up the kids and participate in the event-based Scavenger Hunt leading up to the Winter Celebration for a chance to win awesome prizes, visit with Mr. and Mrs. Clause, and help over 8,000 kids in foster care enjoy the holidays. November is such a big month - Election Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving…it makes me wonder who decided it was such a good idea to pack so much into just a few weeks. Even with all the hustle and bustle, it’s still
a month filled with fun! The first long break of the school year is approaching. Kids are coming home from college, family is flying in or your family is flying out, everyone is excited for something that’s just around the corner. In Texas, as the temperatures drop from insanely hot and begin to hover around our idea of “cool,” we tend to emerge from under the shade and out of the air conditioning for some outdoor fun! Biking, hiking, chili cook-offs... you name it, we’re there. This is also the time of year that the importance of generosity and gratitude is emphasized. Not just through the work done by Living Through Giving, but for many important causes across the city of San Antonio. If you’re looking for ways to give back or volunteer, check out our city’s amazing array of non-profit organizations, especially those who support our unsung heroes in the military. These days, when watching the news or scrolling through social media, it’s impossible to overlook the negativity the election process has brought to our doorstep. The media outlets forget that there is still work to be done within virtually every community for so many American families in need. I ask you to let the negativity of the political system roll off your back the best that you can, and instead focus on what you have and who you can help in your own way. Whether it be a donation to an organization that supports local veterans, or the gift of a toy that will help a displaced child feel at home this Christmas, America needs the help of the American people. Let’s make November the month of generosity. Want to know how to help? Visit www.volunteermatch.org to find the perfect way to give back this holiday season!

Special To Welcome Home hen leaves carpet in the yard and temperatures dip low enough for a sweater we know that the true feeling of November has come to town. Football, baseball, friends and family take up enormous amounts of our time. Weekends pass in a blur of tailgating and game watching. The family on the cover of our November edition of Welcome Home represents the feeling this time of year brings. The last few months of the year are always focused on family and tradition. Whether casting our vote, honoring our veterans, watching the game with Dad or cooking a turkey dinner for friends and family. Each one of us spend our time planning to uphold long held traditions in our families. Thanksgiving is an American tradition. In 1621, Pilgrims and Native Americans gathered to celebrate their good harvest. Thanksgiving wasn’t an actual holiday and was only celebrated sporadically until Abraham Lincoln set the date to be celebrated on the last Friday in November. A few years later, President Roosevelt decided that Thanksgiving would be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. So all we really know about that day in 1621 is that a feast was held in celebration of a full harvest. The day was somewhere between September 21 and November 9th. Only two accounts of the first Thanksgiving exist neither of which give a date time or list of
W
instructions on the celebration of this feast day. Believe it or not, the pilgrims never repeated the celebration after 1621. Now you have the facts of Thanksgiving you could guess that pilgrims didn’t quite experience the Thanksgiving feasts that Americans gather for now. But we know for sure that we love pumpkin pie, stuffing, gravy and turkey. As you gather this year remember to give thanks to the Native Americans who kindly donated seeds to the Settlers from England, give thanks to the American soldiers that protect the rights those settlers sailed across the ocean to achieve. From all of us at Welcome Home Happy Thanksgiving!

A huge welcome to SOBA’s newest members: Brides by Elizabeth, Cyclebar, Eterna Cosmetic Surgery, Nationwide Insurance-Ruben Saucedo and Baptist Orthopedic Hospital at North Central Baptist Hospital. In between ribbon cuttings, SOBA also hosted the 2016 Fall Expo at Johnson High School, an annual event organized to unite the business community with local residents while raising money for high school students. This year, the Expo raised $1,000 for Johnson High School’s Student Council. SOBA presented the Student Council with a check on October 25. Expo is just one of the ways in which SOBA gives back to the very community that has supported the organization for 16 years. With 2017 just around the corner, SOBA is excited to continue to incorporate new, fresh ways to keep the association growing so it can accomplish its ultimate goal: “helping businesses grow businesses.” Stone Oak and the surrounding areas are booming and SOBA is excited to be a part of that growth, fully prepared to facilitate even more business-to-business networking opportunities in the new year. SOBA’s last networking mixer of 2016 will be held at Smoke The Restaurant, located on Sonterra, on November 15. Moving into 2017, SOBA will hit the ground running in January with even more Ribbon

The event itself includes photos with Santa, raffles for prizes, vendors as well as other activities to create endless fun for families and volunteers. Santa’s arrival by helicopter always brings excitement from the crowd, and of course, the celebration would not be complete without 60,000 lbs. of snow for snowball fights and snow angels!

The major benefit of this type of hormone replacement include the fact that you no longer have to take a pill, smear on a cream, or place a patch on yourself daily.

Other downsides could include infection and even extrusion could occur if the pellet pops out after a few days to a week.

My advice to her during the consultant was to begin slowly and that we could determine the correct hormone replacement therapy guided by her blood work. I also told her that it’s usually better to start taking the hormones cream form, especially powerful testosterone.

Pellets supply your body with hormones very well, but first, blood levels must be obtained to guide this therapy. I place women on pellet therapy, but only after their blood levels stabilize with more immediate acting forms of hormones, such as tablets, creams, or patches.

A Fish Thanksgiving, From The Net To Your Door By Blake Groomer Groomer’s Seafood (210) 377-0951 know what you’re thinking…“What does fish have to do with Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is all about the turkey!” Well, maybe to some, but believe it or not Thanksgiving is one of our busiest times of the year here at Groomers. Why is that, you ask? Just look at the first Thanksgiving, or perhaps I should say, the “Fish” Thanksgiving! At the first Thanksgiving, turkey was actually not the main attraction. Located in the coastal area of Plymouth, seafood was in fact one of the main stars of the Thanksgiving show. Lobster, mussels, clams, oysters, and eels made up the bulk of the menu. Fresh cod

and bass were also served up by the dozen. In fact, it was said that Chief Massasoit, leader of the Wampanoag when the Pilgrims arrive at Plymouth in 1620, went to and from the ocean carrying as many eels as he could handle. Today the tradition of seafood still holds true in many households. In the Northeast, lobster is commonly found side by side with the turkey. On the West Coast it’s not unheard of to see a nice slab of salmon in the center of the table. And here in the Gulf region, especially in Louisiana, seafoodheavy jambalaya and oyster stuffing are Thanksgiving dinner staples. And the great news is, you can now have these traditions delivered right to your door! That’s right! Groomer’s Seafood has just launched an entire new division for online next-day delivery orders. No more traffic, no more long holiday lines! You can now order
straight from the “net” and have it delivered right to your door! So if you’re looking to pass on the turkey food coma and opt instead for some healthy, delicious ocean bounty, now is the time! What do I recommend? Well, if I had to recommend just one seafood item to try, I’d have to suggest gulf oysters for oyster stuffing. You just haven’t lived until you’ve had an oyster stuffing filled with fresh shucked gulf oysters. There’s a reason this dish goes back all the way to the 1600s. How do you order? The process is simple, just go to www.groomerseafood.com and click on “ship seafood”. Here you will find all the collections (shellfish, fish fillets, whole fish, etc.) and you can choose the amount of each item you’d like. Then, just check out and we will do the rest! Your order will be packed in a sturdy, insulated box and kept nice and cold. If you’re not going to be home during the day

of delivery, have no worries! Your product will sit just fine until the end of the day, right outside your door. All orders must be in by 2:00 p.m. central time in order to qualify for next-day delivery. You can also choose to send product to loved ones, remember to think of your out of town friends and family this Holiday season! In closing, I would like to send our most sincere and heartfelt gratitude to our followers. You folks make it an absolute joy to come into the “fish house” every morning and there is no way we could do this without you all. I think you’ll enjoy changing things up just a bit with seafood this year, especially now that our delivery service has made it easier than ever. So from our family to yours, have a happy Thanksgiving!

ooler weather is right around the corner, and although your first instinct may be to burrow somewhere deep within the blankets, you should also take a moment to consider the maintenance of your vehicle. Believe it or not, your vehicle’s cooling system is of the upmost importance as the dreary winter months roll in. The cooling system protects your vehicle’s engine as well as other components. Proper cooling system maintenance will help avoid any damage to your car’s engine block during extremely cold weather. Proper cooling system maintenance will also help the engine maintain a proper temperature,
regardless of the temperature outside. By having your system serviced, you can help ensure that components located within your vehicle don’t deteriorate and eventually break down. Belden’s Automotive & Tires performs a multi-point inspection on your vehicle, each and every time you bring your vehicle in for service. Checking the fluid levels is of utmost importance to keep you rolling. To ensure proper operation, it’s important to have your radiator and coolant maintained – these items are what runs your heater and keeps your vehicle at a proper temperature during cold months. We want to ensure your vehicles coolant is filled properly. If it’s not,

If you haven’t had one performed recently, we recommend you have it performed before the cold weather hits. Over time, dirt and contaminants build up in your vehicle’s cooling system. Belden’s Coolant System Service basically empties all the old contaminated fluid from your cooling system. The contaminated fluid should always be removed in full as it can form what is called electrolysis and begin to deteriorate other components such as the heater core and water pump. Once the old fluid is removed, a cleaner follows, making sure all the contamination is flushed out before new fluid is fed into the system. Lastly, Belden’s hand pours a treatment to keep the contaminants at bay, ensuring that your service lasts another 30,000 miles until another service is necessary. Don’t forget to make time for your vehicle during these cooler months.

NEISD JROTC hosts first annual Urban Raider Competition on developed grounds near Heroes Stadium.
Submitted By Richard Gonzales n September 24, Churchill and MacArthur high school JROTC programs sponsored the first Raider competition of the 2016-2017 school year. The competition was supported by active duty military personnel from the Marine Corps and Army. This season marks the second full year the JROTC programs have taken advantage of the multi-purpose training and competition venue situated on a 22-acre parcel of land donated by North East ISD for use by the JROTC program. The first competition of the year featured

Cadets from Churchill, MacArthur, Reagan, Johnson, and Lee high schools. Surrounding area schools, from as far as Houston, were also represented. The 350 Cadets participated in a four-phase challenge featuring a two mile ruck sack run, the obstacle course, a team rope bridge event, and a combat fitness challenge featuring a HMMWV push, log carry, litter carry, and five gallon water can carry. The Cadets performed admirably, overcoming extreme heat and humidity, in order to showcase their teamwork, leadership, and physical fitness in one of the most demanding and

challenging high-school level competitions in existence. The development of the competition venue, located a short walk from the magnificent Heroes stadium, represents a major achievement for the Cadets involved in the creation and development of the project. The completion of Phase I, clearing the land and constructing the obstacle course, is complete and enables the District to organize a highly competitive Raider season for the more than 1100 cadets currently enrolled in JROTC program. There are two more competitions scheduled this year. Additionally, the site is going to be used as a competition training venue for teams preparing to compete in the U.S. Raider Nationals competition held in Molena, Georgia, November 3-7.

Phase II of the project will include the development of a rappelling tower and a zip line, and the development of a leader reaction course. Phase II has begun and will be complete by summer 2017. Remarkably, everything that has been accomplished has been done at no cost to the district or the community. Cadets have raised money and volunteered their time. Similarly, family members and community leaders have generously donated time and resources. The Cadets do not feel restricted by resources and are ready, willing, able, and focused on completing Phase II in 2017 and looking forward to moving to Phase III next fall. Phase III will include the development of a competition venue for the marksmanship program and a supply area to maintain and store JROTC equipment.

SAFE! Holiday Treats For The Four Legged Family Members
N
ovember is a special time of year when we remind ourselves of what we’re thankful for. I’m thankful for so many things in my life, but my dogs top the list. For many of us, our pets are an extension of our family, giving unconditional love and asking for little in return. So this holiday, why not thank them by treating them to something extra special? With a little caution and creativity, your dog can enjoy much of the same delights you do. One of the biggest mistakes people make during the holidays, is giving their pets foods they aren’t used to eating - smothered in rich gravies, sugars, salt, etc... You may think you’re making them the happiest creature

on earth, but such a heavy diet, even for just one night, can wreak havoc on their bodies, especially if they’re not use to human foods. Below are a few alternatives to help keep everyone happy and healthy and maybe keep you from a visit to the emergency vet hospital. Don’t feed turkey skin. Ooohh I know…it’s the best part! But not only is it high in fat and hard to digest, it also holds marinades, oils, and spices used in baking, which can cause an upset stomach. Set aside some of the good stuff before adding all of the salts, butter, wine, etc. A scoop of plain sweet potatoes, a cup of cooked carrots, even some stuffing without gravy is a delight for your dog. Juices and gravies of course are loaded with spices so don’t pour it all over your pet’s kibble, just drizzle! Desserts: The compound Theobromine in chocolate is toxic to your pet and can hot as well. Yields a very pleasant yet strong flavor. PECAN - Part of the hickory family, yet burns cooler than hickory. Produces a sweet aroma, but can be overpowering if used too long. MESQUITE - The densest wood around,
even cause death. Caffeine can also pose a danger to your pet’s heart. Unsweetened baker’s chocolate is the worst and contains 8 times the amount of Theobromine as milk chocolate. So keep them far from Chocolate. If your dog isn’t use to table scraps, don’t offer up a big plate full all at once. This can stress their system. Add a little at a time and freeze the rest for treats later. Your pet is going to be pretty happy with any morsels you give them so choose wisely. Stay away from salts and spices, those are for our taste buds, not theirs. If they enjoy drinking out of a toilet, they can surely enjoy turkey without gravy!

Quality Is Not Expensive. It’s Priceless.
T
By Mike & Molly Sowry Virtuoso Builders (210) 525-8750
he word “quality” gets thrown around a lot in the construction business. You will see this in advertising or read about a company that will tell you they do good work. What we think is true more often than not is that clients know quality when they have had a great experience before, during, and after the project is done. When this happens, good memories are created. Good memories translate into referrals. You can’t put a price tag on that. A quality project should consist of four major elements below: • Communication. Jobs run smoothest when all communications are open. Progress meetings and status emails should be scheduled throughout the project. This is the best time to review the timeline and any other items of interest or concern. • Cleanliness. A client’s home is not a dumping ground. A quality project is one that provides a dumpster or trash disposal on a regular basis. A suitable location should be established for the dumpster. And the job site should be left “broom clean” every day. • Skilled Trades. These craftsmen are an important part of your job. Skill is the key
word here. Skill takes years of experience and education for each trade. Skill comes at a cost that is worth every penny for your biggest investment, your home. • On-Time Completion. Ever seen the movie, “The Money Pit,” where the contractor says to Tom Hanks the job will be done in two weeks? A client will either be delighted that the project is being completed on time, or upset because they hired a contractor who doesn’t understand a calendar. A quality experience is delivered when the contractor knows to build in delay days from many sources such as weather or materials on backorder, and conveys this to the homeowner before the project starts. Remodeling is more than delivering a pretty product. Your project, of course, does have a cost attached to it, but can you put a number to an overall happy experience and peace of mind knowing that you had a professional team do the work? Virtuoso Builders is an award winning remodeling firm raising the professional standards in the San Antonio home remodeling industry.

Thousand Oaks Students Learn To Be Buddies, Not Bullies Submitted By Jenness Davidson n honor of Bullying Prevention Month, Brookhollow HEB paid a visit to Thousand Oaks Elementary to share a lesson with all second grade students. The HEB Buddy helped students understand how to “Be a Buddy, Not a Bully.” Students shared their perception of what makes a “bully;” someone who intentionally and repeatedly harms another. They also gave examples of how words and actions can hurt each other’s feelings, and how, unfortunately, they can come out of their mouths too easily. To help better understand the concept, students experienced a wonderful analogy using a paper plate and a tube of toothpaste. They were asked to squeeze out all the toothpaste onto the plate. They proclaimed that it was easy to do. Then they tried to put all the toothpaste back into the tube! That was not so easy. The second graders then realized how easy it can be to hurt someone’s feelings, but how difficult it can be to take those words and actions back. A great lesson was learned. Thousand Oaks students have now been challenged to stand up for others, inspire friendship and kindness, and set an example of outstanding leadership. Second grade teachers will nominate

skills workshop. Girls can sign up through their troop leaders to participate in this event. Through their attendance at the “First Saturday” workshop, Girl Scouts of all ages will learn the skills they need when planning a troop camping trip and attending the community large camping weekend in the spring. Girls will have time to practice proper dish washing using the wash tub method, learn how to build a fire using the Girl Scout rules, try out cooking with cast iron Dutch ovens, and many more outdoor skills. Check with your leader if you would like to sign up for these “First Saturday” workshops. If you were not able to attend the membership field day, and would like to become a Girl Scout, contact Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas office (210) 349-2404.
W HY C P R C E RT I F I C AT I O N I S A M U S T- H AV E As we look forward to our next CPR certification class on October 19th, it’s worth stepping back and refreshing ourselves around why CPR is such an invaluable life skill and worthy of our time and attention to learn, memorize, and keep up with through practice.
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
LOOKING AT THE RAW NUMBERS
From a purely quantitative standpoint, the numbers supporting CPR certification are endless. While CPR is an effective and proven tool, it is often incredibly underutilized as only 30% of Americans know how to perform it. This means about 100,000 to
350,000
U.S. Cardiac Arrests
Each year about 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States
08.0%
Less than 8% of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside a hospital survive
30.0%
Only 30% of Americans know how to perform CPR
150,000
100,000 to 200,000 lives of adults and children could be saved each year if CPR were performed early enough
Survival Rate
200,000 lives could be saved if only more Americans knew CPR.

About 92,000 people are saved by CPR in America each year

If a bystander doesn’t perform CPR, survival chances of a victim will decrease 7% every single minute of delay

Pretty sobering stuff, right? The numbers clearly point toward a big problem in the United States that could be significantly mitigated with just a little bit of practice.

Taking Science Lab to the Great Outdoors Submitted by Mary Delaney here is a whole other unique aspect to learning that can only be unearthed when students are given the opportunity to immerse themselves in subject matter and really get their hands dirty! This is exactly what happened when Holy Spirit Catholic School’s eighth grade class took a field trip to Texas Tech University’s satellite campus in Junction, TX. Mrs. Rita Martinez, Eighth Grade Honors Science Teacher, cultivated the idea for a field trip so that her students could really apply what they had been learning in the classroom. Mrs. Martinez, who just began her sixth year teaching at Holy Spirit, suggested the trip after her experience of taking a group from her previous school, Rolling Hills Academy. Mr. Mark Willis, another science teacher at Holy Spirit, was also present for the excursion. The group was fortunate to be blessed with amazing weather on the day of their big adventure! The eighth grade students were engaged throughout the day during two outdoor excursions. The students first

participated in an Aquatic Biology session which entailed stepping foot into the S. Llano River to gather samples of macroinvertebrates. Students were then able to examine and identify their “catch” of specimens using a dissecting microscope. The second activity of the day was entitled “Quail CSI.” Students became actual investigators for TTU as they tried to determine what had been predating quail in

the area. The students investigated several fielded areas of quail nests. “Our eighth graders were engaged in learning throughout the day,” said Mrs. Martinez. “This field trip was a success.” In addition to Mr. Willis and Mrs. Martinez, eighth grade advisors Mrs. Ardie Herring and Mrs. Teri Clay served as chaperones as well as Principal Margaret Webb, and current Holy Spirit parent Mr. Lamberto Balli. The day was long and
entailed plenty of hard work but was worth every minute, according to teachers. TTU staff were also thrilled to host their young guests. “The students were awesome and teachers, administrators and parents were fabulous,” said Koy Coffer, Administrator and Coordinator at TTU Outdoor School. “I wish we could clone your group to teach others.”

Concordia Lutheran Supports Operation Christmas Child Submitted By Deb Rich ctober may seem a bit early to begin thinking about the Christmas holidays, but at Concordia Lutheran School students were already hard at work on a global Christmas effort. Partnering in ministry with Concordia Lutheran Church, students, teachers, parents, and staff dedicated time and energy during the fall season to serving children half a world away through Operation Christmas Child, an outreach effort sponsored by Concordia’s Student Council and organized worldwide by Samaritan’s Purse. This year marks the sixth year that students in kindergarten through eighth grade supported this ministry. Concordia students began the service project by collecting and sorting items that children around the world will receive this Christmas. Because the children who receive boxes often need basic hygiene
O
items in addition to clothing and toys, Concordia students collected a wide variety of necessities. Donations included socks, washcloths, underwear, oral hygiene items, school supplies, toys, small stuffed animals, small Bibles, and hard candy. The school also received some cash donations to help with shipping costs. No liquids could be shipped, and items that could melt were also avoided. Additionally, materials had to fit into a shoe box. Around the last week of October, the Concordia community came together and spent an afternoon packing the boxes and preparing them for shipping. Because boys and girls in need can be any age, boxes were assembled and labeled with certain age ranges and genders. Each box was checked to ensure that it contained at least one of each type of item, and then students crafted handwritten notes to place into the boxes.
Last year, Concordia students sent 180 boxes, and this year’s goal was 200. “We get to give a child the excitement of opening a gift!” said one excited middle school student. Concordia Lutheran Church and School partnered together in this effort to show children living in poverty, famine or areas of conflict the love of Jesus Christ one box at a time. This year’s goal was to donate 200 boxes to Operation Christmas Child to spread holiday cheer across the globe to children in need this Christmas season.
Anna Flores Awarded CASA Peer Coordinator of the Year
Submitted by Leticia Hernandez ot only has Anna Flores always been an invaluable community member with a huge heart, but for the past four years, she has also admirably served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children in Bexar County. Anna is a trained volunteer with Child Advocates of San Antonio (CASA). CASA recruits, trains and supervises court-appointed volunteer advocates who give abused and neglected children in the family court system a voice.
N
Anna dedicates her time and energy to ensure these children are placed in safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. Let’s take a look at a young boy named Andy and his journey to learn how his CASA Volunteer, Anna, made a difference in his life. When Andy was just four years old, his life was disrupted and he was too young to understand why. Both his parents were extremely young, unable to speak English and had no family in the states. Intimidated by the language barrier and the
The Jenkins Interior Design Group
involvement of Child Protective Services, they were unable to explain how certain injuries came upon Andy and his brother. When it came time for Andy’s case to be heard in court, the judge ordered the children be removed for their safety. He requested the parents complete services to achieve reunification with their children. Most importantly he asked for a Spanish speaking CASA Volunteer to report back to the court regarding what was in the children’s best interest. Before Andy knew it, he found himself in a foster home where no one spoke Spanish. Unable to ask where his parents were, he found himself afraid and unsure of what was happening. Anna, his Spanish speaking CASA volunteer, was the only person communicating with him in Spanish. As time progressed, Andy began to struggle to differ between the two languages and it became very apparent that maintaining his language and culture needed to become a priority. Anna attended court hearings and acted as Andy’s voice in court. She informed the judge about a delay in Andy’s speech and
advocated for services in Spanish. When it came time for Andy and his brother to return to their parents, Anna knew it would take time for the family to heal from this experience. Anna was able to advocate that family therapy also be conducted in Spanish. Anna played a pivotal role for during a difficult time in Andy and his family’s lives, and without her, Andy would have become one of the many children lost in the system. As Anna states “CASA Volunteers have the power to be the bridge between cultures.” Andy’s story is just one of the many that lingers, proving that the voices of community members are needed for the sake each child’s wellbeing. CASA Volunteers are not required to be experts on the court system; they just have to have a huge heart and willingness to help provide the court with insight on the best interest of these children. For further details about how to become CASA volunteer, contact CASA Recruitment and Training Manager, Leticia Hernandez at (210) 225-7070 or visit www.casa-satx.org.
