Girl Scouts Celebrate their Centennial

With the Year of the Girl

Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low assembled 18 girls from Savannah, Georgia, on March 12, 1912, for a local Girl Scout meeting. She believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service and the open air, Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping trips, learned how to tell time by the stars, and studied first aid. Within a few years, Daisy’s dream for a girlcentered organization was realized. Today, Girl Scouts marks it’s 100 year Anniversary and has declared 2012 the Year of the Girl: a celebration of girls, recognition of their leadership potential, and a commitment to creating a coalition of like-minded organizations and individuals in support of balanced leadership in the workplace and in communities across the country. For the past century, Girl Scouts has been the premier leadership organization for girls. With more than 50 million alumnae, the impact and role of Girl Scouts in this country and Texas is undeniable and far reaching. Did you know? • 80% of women business owners were Girl Scouts • 68% of female U.S. Members of Congress are Girl Scouts • Virtually every female astronaut who has ever flown in space was a Girl Scout • 80% of volunteerism in America comes from the efforts & inspiration of 50 million Grown-up Girl Scouts Imagine a new generation of leaders who lead in an innovative way, stepping across barriers of class and ethnicity, guiding out of principle rather than pride, actively seeking out the work that needs to be Copyright © 2012 Peel, Inc.

done in the world and bringing boundless energy and enthusiasm to each challenge. Girl Scouts of Central Texas strives to create an environment where girls can discover themselves and their values; a place where they can connect with others, push boundaries and test limits; a place where they can develop their leadership potential and take action; a place that will serve as the launch pad for a successful life. Girl Scouts of Central Texas provides girls a myriad of programs– from Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) based learning experiences to educational travel programs (Destinations) for teen girls who might not otherwise experience life in other cultures. These opportunities are available to all girls, from all socio-economic backgrounds, including girls living in shelters, in housing projects, girls who have been incarcerated and girls whose mothers are incarcerated. During the centennial year there will be a myriad of activities. Beginning with Cookie sales in January, these activities include a Capitol Sing-along (March 12th ), a Camporee (April), a Leadership Conference (August), an interactive exhibit at the Texas State Fair (September-October) and culminates in a candlelit vigil in December to mark the beginning of the next 100 years. All present and former Girls Scouts are invited to attend. The Girl Scout mission continues to be: build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. It is a movement that has been developing leaders for 100 years and will continue for 100 more. For more information visit www.gsctx.org Lost Creek Times - February 2012

Pick up the Pile Happy New Year to all! As we embark on 2012’s journey, some will think of ways to improve upon themselves. I’d like to offer an idea to those that still think dog poop is fertilizer, let’s try picking up after our dogs. In case you were not aware, scientists have established the fact that the dog's gut harbors a particular type of bacteria known as the coli form bacteria. This bacterium includes the dreaded E. coli bacteria and also contains strains of salmonella and giardia. Now, since the rains have finally come, all the piles that have been left behind will be washed into our storm drains and contaminate our water supply. Not only is our water supply affected but perhaps even the air we breathe...I came across this article: ScienceDaily (Aug. 18, 2011) “Bacteria from fecal material -- in particular, dog fecal material -may constitute the dominant source of airborne bacteria in Cleveland’s and Detroit’s wintertime air, says a new University of Colorado Boulder study.” This was the first test conducted, for air borne disease so far, however, scientist presume other cities, with an abundance of the canine kind, will show similar results. Please be kind, don’t leave it behind. To those that pick up....THANK YOU www.pickupthepile.com

lost creek times American Diabetes Association Announces Inaugural Austin-based Central Texas Tour de Cure Cycling Event in 2012

Planning committee seeks sponsors, riders and volunteers Now in its eleventh year, the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure has been a fundraising cycling ride from San Antonio to Austin, Texas. For the first time, in 2012, the event’s fundraising efforts will be focused on twenty-six (26) Central Texas counties, and the ride will start and end in Austin at the Travis County Expo Center on May 5, 2012. “The ADA has decided that it needs to turn up the volume on its efforts to heighten our nation’s sense of urgency about the disease, and to move beyond just awareness to encourage people to engaging with the Association in meaningful ways and become a part of the movement to Stop Diabetes®. The Tour de Cure takes place in 43 cities nationwide, and the Central Texas one has been so successful that the national organization encouraged Austinarea leaders to forge its own ride and focus on getting local word out about the cause,” says Mercedes Feris, Tour Manager of the Austin-based chapter. The new one-day, family-focused event, sponsored by lead sponsors Austin Energy and Seton Healthcare Family, will feature various cycling routes for all skill levels (from 15 to 100 miles in length). No matter which distance riders choose, they will be fully supported with route marshals, SAG vehicles, mechanical support, and rest stops stocked with hydration and a variety of

snacks. At the finish, there will be an Austinstyle celebratory theme at the Travis County Expo Center with cheering volunteers, live music, great food and much more. “Though we have made substantial progress in combating diabetes, the number of Americans burdened by this disease continues to grow at a rapid pace,” says Jane Koble, Executive Director of the association’s Central Texas chapter. “Approximately 8.3 percent of Americans have diabetes. In Central Texas, we’re looking at 10% of our population. It’s an urgent health issue that touches Texans at a much higher percentage than the general population of the United States and the number of adult Texans with diabetes is expected to quadruple over the next three decades if the current trend continues.” Diabetes can have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of those it affects. People with diabetes are more likely to suffer from complications such as heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, or kidney failure. Type 1 diabetes inhibits the body’s ability to produce insulin and can be managed with insulin injections, diet, and exercise.

Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 percent of diabetes cases in the U.S. and for those with this type, either their body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Individuals can reduce their risk of developing Type 2 by adopting a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and consulting a medical professional about their individual needs and risk factors. The increase in Type 2 diabetes among the Nation’s children is linked to the rise of childhood obesity. Traditionally, Tour de Cure has been the Central Texas chapter’s largest annual fundraiser. The planning committee for the 2012 Austin Central Texas Tour de Cure hopes to attract 550 riders to the inaugural event, who will each raise a minimum of $200 to help prevent, treat, and manage the disease. For more information, to volunteer or to sign up, go to http://www.diabetes.org/ austintourdecure or call 1-888-DIABETES. Ongoing updates are also available on Twitter at @DiabetesAustin or the event’s Facebook page: “Austin Central Texas Tour de Cure.” The American Diabetes Association is leading the fight against the deadly consequences of diabetes and fighting for those affected by diabetes. The Association funds research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes; delivers services to hundreds of communities; provides objective and credible information; and gives voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes.

Lost Creek Times - February 2012

lost creek times by Jim & Lynne Weber The common but elusive Ringtail or Ringtail Cat (Bassariscus astutus) is not a cat at all, but a member of the Procyonidae family and a close relative of the Northern Raccoon. The origins of its scientific name comes from bassar or fox, isc or little, and astute or cunning. In Texas, it is found mostly in the Trans-Pecos, the Edwards Plateau, and the Cross Timbers regions. While ringtails are cat-sized mammals, their face is fox-like with a pointed snout, their body is elongated, and their tail resembles a raccoon. The ears are large, and their big, dark eyes are each surrounded by a patch of lightcolored fur. The fur on their body is buff to brown-colored above and whitish below, with a spectacularly bushy, ringed tail. This tail is often longer than their body, and is marked by a series of 14 to 16 alternating black and white rings (black rings incomplete on the underside) with a black tip. Mainly nocturnal but sometimes seen at dawn and dusk (crepuscular), ringtails are roving, solitary mammals that come together only to mate. Their breeding season starts in late February and continues to mid-April, and females are in heat for only one 24-hour period during this time. In early May to midJune 2 to 4 cubs are born fuzzy, white-haired, and with a tail that is not yet colored with the distinctive black and white bands. The cubs

open their eyes at one month, and at four months begin hunting for rodents, insects, lizards, birds, and berries. Ringtails are quite vocal, especially the young, and will make a variety of sounds including squeaks, chatters, grunts, growls, and hisses, with the typical call being a loud, plaintive bark. In the wild, ringtails live an average of seven years. Ringtails can be found in our oak-juniper woodlands that have rocky areas associated with water, including riparian canyons and caves, limestone cliffs, and sometimes in man-made structures like mine shafts. They can den in tree hollows, rock crevices, other animals’ abandoned burrows, and even seldom-used spaces in buildings. They roam frequently, rarely spending more than three straight nights in one den. Interestingly, the ankle joint of the Ringtail is very flexible and is able to rotate over 180 degrees, which

makes them very agile climbers. By pressing their feet against one wall and their back against the opposite wall, or by pressing both right feet against one wall and both left feet against the opposite wall, they are able to ‘stem’ or ascend/descend narrow passageways and wide cracks in the rock. Their strong tail can provide balance for negotiating narrow ledges and limbs, and even allows them to reverse direction by performing a cartwheel! Ringtails have many other common names, including Miner’s Cat, as they were often kept by miners and settlers as pets, to keep their cabin free of mice. A hole was cut in a small box that was placed near a stove or fireplace, which acted as a dark, warm place for them to sleep during the day, and they returned the favor at night, hunting mice and keeping them and other rodents at bay. In the native language of the Nahuatl Indians of Mexico, ringtails were called ‘cacomistle’, which is derived from the word tlahcomiztli meaning ‘half mountain lion.’ Whatever you call them, consider yourself lucky should you spot one of these beautiful, timid, and rarely seen nocturnal mammals!
