Pruning Guidelines

for Prevention of Oak Wilt in Texas

Oak wilt, caused by the fungus Ceratocystis fagacearum, is the most destructive disease affecting live oaks and red oaks in Central Texas. Most of the tree mortality results from treeto-tree spread of the pathogen through interconnected or grafted root systems, once an oak wilt center becomes established. New infection centers begin when beetles carry oak wilt fungal spores from infected red oaks to fresh, open wounds on healthy oaks. Wounds include any damage caused by wind, hail, vehicles, construction, squirrels, birds or pruning. Research has shown that both oak wilt fungal mats on infected red oaks and insects that carry oak wilt spores are most prevalent in the spring. Below is a brief description of how you can reduce the risk of fungal spread when pruning. • Always paint fresh wounds on oaks, including pruning cuts and stumps, with wound dressing or latex paint immediately after pruning or live tree removal at all times of the year. • Clean all pruning tools with 10% bleach solution or Lysol™ between sites and/or trees. • If possible avoid pruning or wounding of oaks during the spring (currently defined as February1 through June 30). Reasons to prune in the spring include: • To accommodate public safety concerns such as hazardous limbs, traffic visibility or emergency utility line clearance. • To repair damaged limbs (from storms or other anomalies) • To remove limbs rubbing on a building or rubbing on other branches, and to raise low limbs over a street. • On sites where construction schedules take precedence, pruning any live tissue should only be done to accommodate required clearance. • Dead branch removal where live tissue is not exposed. Pruning for other reasons (general tree health, non-safety related clearance or thinning, etc.) should be conducted before February

1 or after June 30. Debris from diseased red oaks should be immediately chipped, burned or buried. Regardless of the reasons or time of year, proper pruning techniques should be used. These techniques include making proper pruning cuts and avoiding injurious practices such as topping or excessive crown thinning. If you are uncertain about any of this information, you should consult with a Texas Oak Wilt Certified arborist, ISA Certified Arborist, or an oak wilt specialist from a city, county or state government agency such as the Texas Forest Service or Texas AgriLife Extension Service.

LAKEWAY CITY HALL ART GALLERY

Paintings by Elise Roe ~ June 19, 2012 to July 31, 2012 Beginning June 19 through July 31, 2012, acrylic paintings by Elise Roe will be on display at the Lakeway City Hall Art Gallery. The exhibit may be viewed during regular City Hall office hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The Art Gallery is located off the lobby of City Hall at 1102 Lohmans Crossing. Elise Roe’s acrylic paintings are multi-thematic, multifaceted – none based solely in one style and/or mode of realism. Some are portraits, some still lifes and others tend to the abstract or non-objective. They relate to patterns in nature and the synthetic. Backgrounds frequently spiral into tangents from the foreground subjects. Contained colors sometime spill over searching for a relationship to what is observed with the underlying questions and moods of the painter. Ms. Roe graduated from the University of Texas. Her work has been shown in small galleries and outdoor festivals around Texas. She works as an art teacher and coaches a competition-oriented math club. She loves learning, painting, math, and nature as the purest form of art and beauty of spirit.

Around Lakeway Lakeway Activity Center Offers SAT Prep Course The Lakeway Activity Center is excited to offer the SAT Preparation course again this year! This program is partnered with Cambridge Educational Services, the nation’s largest on-campus test preparation program. Veteran teacher, Lynette Mathieson, will be joining experienced test-prep instructor Caro Palmatier. This is the perfect class to get your child up to their maximum potential for the SAT test on October 6th (registration deadline for the SAT is September 7th /late registration is September 21). Students learn how to maximize their SAT test taking skills and gain confidence as they prepare to further achieve entry into the college or university of their choice or secure scholarships. Caro is a fabulous all level Math teacher who excels in teaching Algebra 1 through Pre-Calculus and Physics. Caro has written curriculum for Algebra 1 through Pre-Cal and wrote and constructed math problems for Educational Testing Service through the Texas Education Association. Lynette has taught students from all academic backgrounds from gifted and talented to special education and has maintained an active tutorial business with one-on-one SAT review to enhance performance, understanding, competence, study and organization techniques. All of these elements together provide a practical and realistic framework for students to receive the testing experience armed with greater knowledge of the material and an increased awareness of testing strategies with enhanced abilities to analyze reading passages and improve sense of timing to result in solidly higher scores. Cambridge Educational Services uses official off-record SAT tests that have been administered in the past. Taking an official off-record pre- and post-test allows students to gain practice and comfort while relieving test anxiety. The pre-test serves to give students an idea of

where they stand while giving instructors insight into strengths and weakness to work on in class. The posttest acts as another opportunity to practice taking the actual SAT test, but more importantly, as a way for students to measure their progress through their investment in the course. In depth course books provide over 1,000 pages of content to help build skills and learn cutting-edge test-taking strategies. Average scores gains for these courses are 60-150 points, however, test scores can be significantly higher from those students who attend all classes and actively participate. Cambridge utilizes a research based model based off of over 20 years of experience in test preparation. The verbal portion of the course will review SAT essay writing, sentence correction and completion, plus critical reading of paragraphs and long passages. The mathematics portion reviews the multiple choice and student-produced response questions. This program is scheduled perfectly to be completed right before the next official SAT test so all the information will be fresh and your child will have more confidence when he takes the official SAT on October 6th. Class is held on Saturdays August 11-September 29 from 9 a.m.-noon (No class on Labor Day weekend-September 4). Students will receive 18 hours of direct instruction with an additional first session for administration of the pre-test on August 11 and posttest on September 22. Post test results and overall review as well as individual question/answers will be on September 29. Another class is scheduled for Wednesday evenings to coincide with the official SAT in November. Call the Lakeway Activity Center at 512-261-1010 or go to our website: www.Lakeway-Tx.gov for additional information. Students must preregister by August 6 in order to ensure supplies are in stock.

School News District Officials, Students Accept Donation of Video Production, Web Platform

Lake Travis Independent School District officials and students officially accepted the donation of a multi-media platform that will enhance the District’s video presence on the web during a presentation held May 25 at Lake Travis High School. The primary donation was made by Haythem Dawlett of Legend Communities, Inc. and Philip Jalufka of Legacy International Resort Properties, in conjunction with the Lake Travis Education Foundation. “This is a sizable donation that will have a significant and lasting impact throughout our school community,” said LTISD superintendent Dr. Brad Lancaster. “On behalf of our students and staff, I thank Mr. Dawlett, Mr. Jalufka, and the foundation for their generosity and support.” The donation of the web-based video platform—LakeTravisTV— allows LTISD students and staff to broadcast a wide array of content via the Internet. Once videos are uploaded from other sites such as district/campus websites, High School Cube, and YouTube, they can be organized, shared, and featured for public viewing ‘on demand’ through specific channels on LakeTravisTV. The platform and administrative portal—valued at $125,000—have been customized and enhanced for use by the school district. “Legend Communities is pleased to further its support for the children and families of Lakeway through this donation to Lake Travis ISD,” said Mr. Dawlett, principal of Legend Communities. “We look forward to seeing this outstanding school district expand its presence for the betterment of students for years to come.” In addition to the LakeTravisTV donation, Lake Travis High School received a grant from the LTEF last fall which funded the purchase of the TriCaster, a mobile video production and broadcasting unit which allows students to record and produce school content and 20

Lakeway Voice - July 2012

programming including athletic, performing arts, and community events. Students are able to capture content using three video cameras and audio equipment obtained through the technology portion of the District’s 2006 bond program. “The donation of the LakeTravisTV platform—coupled with the purchase of the TriCaster, video cameras and audio equipment —has opened a world of opportunities for our film students,” said Carl Mclendon, LTHS film studies teacher. “We’re doing things we only dreamed of doing before (the donation). More importantly, we are now able to reach a much wider audience by providing content like the recent Cavalettes Spring Show and our high school graduation that our school community has come to expect. There’s a much bigger picture here as well as we begin to position and market the LT brand like never before, and provide entrepreneurial opportunities to Lake Travis students. The donation and public-private partnership makes all this possible.” A sample of campus videos and other LTISD student-created content is available on LakeTravisTV at http://lttv.ltisdschools.org/ channels/lwe.

News You Can Use Financial Focus - Student Loans Crushing College Grads Submitted by Rich Keith Today’s college grads are facing the “real world” with an extra scoop of debt. Two-thirds of students graduating from college or graduate school have student loans – about $25,000 on average. That’s a 25% increase over the past 10 years. In fact, today’s twentysomething holds an average debt of $45,000, including everything from student loans to mortgages and credit cards. Unfortunately, unemployment for those aged 18-29 is 12.4%, well above the national rate of 8.2%. Don’t feel as if you have to be the savior. Six in 10 boomers report giving financial help (outside of college tuition) to a child or grandchild in the past five years. Of those, $59,000 was the average amount of aid. If this sounds like you, ask yourself: Do I really have the resources? Am I saving enough for retirement? Try to share more financial wisdom and less cash with your adult offspring. The more you save for your own future means less possibility that you’ll need their help later on.

Lakeway Voice - July 2012

Without going into too much detail, share the family financial picture with your children once they hit the mid-teen years. They need to know the family income is X and it takes Y amount to cover the mortgage and bills. Once they see X minus Y in action they will be surprised at how much it actually costs to run a household. This may have a side benefit of limiting how much and how often your children ask you for money and gifts. Children who have a basic understanding of money, especially the corrosive effects of debt, have a better chance of becoming financially independent later in life. They will be more resistant to the credit card offers sure to come to them in their freshman year at college. And they will more ready to partner with their parents as the family manages their college finances with them.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A PET FOOD

Pet nutrition and pet food selection has improved significantly over the last few years, however, there is still a lot of confusion regarding what to feed our four-legged friends. Following the horrific melamine pet food recalls of 2007, much research has been dedicated to learning more about pet nutrition and how pet food is manufactured and distributed to consumers. This has spawned a greater selection of high-quality, pet super-foods. However, it has also prompted some companies who still make cheap, low-quality pet food to simply change their packaging to dupe consumers into believing that they're buying food filled with wholesome fresh meat, fruits, and vegetables. Don't be fooled! A pretty bag with pictures of cascading corn and carrots does not a quality pet food make. Read the ingredient label to see what's really in the bag and in your pet's food bowl. Here are some things to look for in the ingredient label and to consider when choosing a food for your furry family members. PROTEIN A named protein and/or protein meal should be first on the ingredient list. For example, if you're buying a chicken formula pet food, look for‚"chicken‚" or‚"chicken meal," as the first ingredient, not chicken by-product. Remember: meal is a good thing, by-product is a bad thing. Also, if a protein source is not named - beware. For example, if the ingredient label reads, "meat meal‚" you have no way of knowing what the protein source is and should be wary. It could be anything from aardvark to zebra. The best pet foods have two or three protein sources in the first five ingredients listed. Confused about the difference between chicken and chicken meal? Chicken, or any other protein source listed in the ingredient label, means that fresh meat was added to the mix before cooking. This is great! But just like our bodies, animals are about 70% water. So, when the mixture is cooked, the fresh meat in it loses volume, thereby decreasing

Lakeway Voice - July 2012

the amount of protein in the final product. Chicken meal, on the other hand, is chicken meat, bone and some connective tissue that has been cooked, dried and added to the mix before cooking, which ultimately increases the protein level of the food. VEGGIES, FRUITS & WHOLEGRAINS Like humans, pets benefit from the vitamins and enzymes in fresh vegetables and fruits. Look for quality produce and complex carbohydrates like carrots, spinach, pumpkin, etc. as well as whole grain rice, oats, and/or barley. These healthy foods have lower glycemic index ranges, which will keep your pet more satisfied and will help to avoid sudden drops in energy levels. Avoid highly processed grains such as corn, wheat and rice. As with humans, these are empty fillers and fast burning carbohydrates. US SOURCED Do a little extra digging to find where the ingredients of a food you'e considering are sourced. Often, you can find this information on the manufacturer's website. If not, call them and ask. Look for foods made with ingredients from the US. This will help you take advantage of the strict, governmental regulations that watch pet food manufacturers and that are there to protect you and your pets from contamination. Furthermore, buying products made in the US is just plain good sense for the local economy and environment. WHAT TO AVOID By-products and by-product meals should be avoided for a number of reasons. First, you have no way of knowing exactly what the ingredient is, but you can be sure that it is a lowvalue portion of the animal. In addition to the ingredient itself being dubious, low-value products are not handled with the same care as higher-value products, so they could become rancid or exposed to harmful bacteria. Also

avoid sweeteners, which are added to poor quality foods to enhance palatability. Other ingredients to avoid are artificial preservatives such as BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin, and artificial colors. Once you've narrowed your choices down to a few based on quality ingredients, then consider your pet's specific health needs. Is your pet overweight, underweight, young, adult, or senior? Does he/she have allergies or itchy skin? There are high-quality foods that are formulated to address all of these issues and more. After you've finally chosen a healthy pet food and are ready to purchase, be sure to check the‚"Best By," date. In quality, natural foods, this will be about 12 months from the manufacture date. When dishing out the new grub to your pet, start by mixing it with a bit of his last diet to help his tummy transition. Do this for about a week, adding a little more of the new food everyday. By day seven, your pet should be ready for full servings and a fuller life.

Raising Resilient Children

By Sugandha Jain

“It is far more important to know how to deal with the negative than to be positive” ----Martin Seligman, Author of the book Learned Optimism Do you want your children to grow up to be fragile as a flower or tough as Teflon? If you want your children to be strong, then, you need to fuel them with power to face every adversity that comes their way. According to Paul Stoltz, Aversity Quotient (AQ) is the ability of individuals to withstand adversity and surmount it. Resilient children with a high AQ turn obstacles into opportunities. Resiliency is the ability to not only survive, but thrive. In order to remain strong, we must stretch ourselves and spring forward. In life, things happen that knock us back for awhile. We just don›t want to get stuck there. We may fall back, but then look out- we›re moving forward, stronger than ever! A rubber band can be used to explain the concept of

resilience in children. A rubber band can be stressed and stretched, but it quickly returns to its regular shape when the stressor is gone. Similarly the resilient child quickly «bounces back» from stress or trauma. This ability to recover quickly from a stressful experience is important to brain development. When a child is stressed the brain is bathed in a stress hormone called cortisol. If cortisol levels remain high, the hormone starts to interfere with the development of connections within the brain. A 2012 study by Stanford University School of Medicine team used used MRI scans to identify how humor affects children’s minds. The research proves that a strong sense of humor is an important part of positive emotion and may help children to be more resilient. Being able to see the humor in stressful situations, or to be able to laugh at difficult things can make children successful in life. Parents have to find ways to laugh more and find humor in everyday life. Laugh at yourself and FOR your children. As parents we have many opportunities to show our children when things don’t go as planned, that we can fret, pout, wish for different circumstances OR we can bounce back and make fun!

THE DEDICATED RUNNER

Submitted by, Steve Bernhardt The heat is officially on in Central Texas, for the foreseeable future no matter the time of day it will be hot and often humid during our runs. Does this mean it’s time to slow down, not run as often, or simply head indoors to the gym to run? If you are a dedicated runner none of these options sounds appealing. Fortunately none of them are necessary either if we take our time to understand how to acclimatize to the higher temperatures and take the necessary measures to run safely and comfortably under the bright Texas sun. First, it takes our bodies about 7-10 days to begin to make the physiological adjustments needed to adapt to strenuous activity in the heat. Research has shown we can become fully acclimatized in 14-days based on spending at least one hour a day in the heat. During this time our blood plasma volume increases, sodium levels concentrate, and our core body temperature decreases. Keep in mind fitter runners usually adapt quicker, as well as younger runners often do better in the heat than older runners. Next, dress properly to maximize evaporative heat loss. Wear clothing designed for running that does not hold moisture in the fabric (hydrophobic) and encourages evaporation. Our bodies cool as the heat is pulled away from us in our evaporating sweat. Avoid running in cotton as it holds the moisture in the fabric and makes wide scale evaporation nearly impossible. Running in a soaking wet cotton t-shirt is not cooling, it’s basting. Also, don’t forget a breathable hat to keep the sun off your head and sunglasses to fight off the negative effects of UV sunlight on your eyes. Lastly, our sweat rate increases as our bodies adapt to the stress of running in higher temperatures, because of this we need to replenish our fluids in order to maintain our effort and vital bodily functions. Water is ok for shorter duration runs (30 minutes or less) but for longer efforts we need to add some electrolytes like sodium chloride, magnesium, and potassium. There are many well designed hydration products available that are tasty and effective, as well as several different ways to carry fluids while on your runs like a hand-held water bottle or waist belt. If you are worried about the comfort of carrying a bottle while running, trust me after a few days you’ll hardly notice it and grow thankful for having it with you. Just because it’s hot and humid doesn’t mean we have to stop doing what we love to do, run. Being patient and giving our bodies time to acclimatize is critical. Wearing the right clothing to protect ourselves for the sun and encourage evaporative cooling is a must. Fluid replacement in order to maintain proper hydration is necessary to avoid heat related illness due to overheating and dehydration. With care and attention to each of these areas you’ll be on your way to accomplishing your running goals no matter what the Texas summer decides to throw at us.

Christmas In July Nature Watch by Jim and Lynne Weber

By mid-summer in Central Texas, most of us dream of some relief from the heat , but did you know that you can find a reminder of the winter holidays thriving in the searing hot temperatures? Two native poinsettias, the Wild Poinsettia (Euphorbia cyathophora) and Mexican Fireplant (Euphorbia heterophylla), are present in our area and are related to the popular Christmas poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima), which has large red, pink, yellow, or white leaves just below the flowering cluster. The showy colored parts of poinsettias that most people think are the flowers are actually colored bracts or modified leaves. Wild Poinsettia, also called Fire on the Mountain, is a ‘dwarf poinsettia’ 1 to 2 feet tall with green stems and alternating lobed leaves, with the uppermost leaves having red blotches near the base. The flower clusters are small and yellowish, and bloom from May to November, usually peaking in the height of summer. Its scientific name is composed of the genus Euphorbia, named after the corpulent Greek physician Euphorbus and meaning ‘well fed’, and the species name of cyanthophora meaning ‘cup bearing’, which refers to the bowl-shaped structures supporting each flower. While this plant can be invasive, it is a good native filler plant and can be an interesting addition to a sunny flowerbed containing sandy, well-draining soil. The Mexican Fireplant (Euphorbia heterophylla) is native to Mexico and Central America, as well as across the southern tier of the United States from California through Texas to Florida. Blooming from late July to September, this 2 to 3 foot tall plant

Lakeway Voice - July 2012

Wild Poinsettia (photo by Joseph A. Marcus) also has tiny flowers lacking petals within a 5-lobed gland-rimmed cup, all in a cluster on top of a leafy stem and just above partly red, white or yellow leaves. It grows in open or wooded sandy areas, and prefers full sun to partial shade. Often, when left grown wild as a ‘weed’, this plant loses its striking coloration. Both Wild Poinsettia and Mexican Fireplant are members of the Spurge family, which includes about 7500 species, each having milky sap and found growing in mostly warm or hot regions. Plants in this family have produced valuable products such as rubber, castor & tung oils, and tapioca. Most are poisonous, however, and the sap can mildly irritate the membranes of the eyes and mouth. In the wild, these species are also considered ‘ruderal species’, or the first to colonize either natural or human disturbed lands. They typically dominate a disturbed area for a few years, gradually losing the competition for resources to other, longer-lasting native plant species. The Christmas Poinsettia is native to Mexico and Central America and is a generally found in the form of a shrub or small tree. Native peoples of Chile and Peru called this plant the ‘Crown of the Andes’, and the Aztecs, who made a reddish purple dye from its bracts, called it ’Cuetlaxochitl’, meaning ‘mortal flower that perishes and withers like all that is pure.’ This fall, why not plant some of our smaller festive natives in your wildscape, and next summer let them remind you of cooler times when the temperature outside hovers around 100 degrees!
