Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em By Donna Fossum

It’s that time of the year when deciduous trees start losing their leaves as we transition into fall. But resist the urge to rake up all that foliage and send it to the landfill. There are many beneficial and decorative uses for leaves in our gardens. They’re great for: • Insulating dormant plants during the colder months. Just pile them around the plants you want to protect. • Retaining moisture around plants and beds. When dry leaves break down they produce leaf mold, a rich, natural compost that seals in moisture. • Sprucing up hanging baskets. Just slip colorful fall leaves in between the liner and the tines of the basket. • Making impressions in concrete pavers. Mix fast-drying concrete, pour it into a pizza box and press leaves into the wet concrete. When it’s completely dry, take it out of the box and pull out the leaves. Voilà – homemade pavers for your garden! • Oak leaves make some of the best mulch for your bedding areas. As they decompose, they add organic material to the soil. • And don’t forget fire safety. Dry leaves should never be allowed to pile up against your house, shed, privacy fence or other flammable structure. So put away the rake, and let the leaves fall where they may. Donna Fossum is a conservation planner for San Antonio Water System.

THE DOMINION NEWS A Dominion HOA Publication | October 2012

HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION BUDGET PROCESS Each September, the Homeowners’ Association (HOA) begins developing its budget for the following year. The HOA is a $3.5+ million business, encompassing several different business operations, including common area and building maintenance, security and general administration. The HOA generates revenue from assessments and fees. The HOA employs a “modified zero based budgeting” strategy, which means, for most budget items, it starts each year’s budget from scratch. The HOA General Manager drafts a budget, most of which is based on historical trends. This budget is then reviewed and adjusted where necessary by the Treasurer of the HOA. The revised budget is then submitted to finance committee in September for review and input from residents serving on this committee. After the finance committee has reviewed the budget, it is submitted to the board of directors for their input. The finance committee and board spend time in October reviewing the budget in detail. During this time, the board and finance committee establish priorities, identify challenges, consider options and adjust the budget accordingly. In addition to creating the operating budget, the board, management and committees create budgets for capital repair and replacements through the use of a 5-year (long-term) financial planning process. It is expected the board will approve the 2013 budget at the November Board meeting. One question frequently asked by residents is: “what do my assessments cover”? Resident assessments essentially fund the HOA’s operations and maintenance. The current resident assessment of $2,460 per year and other miscellaneous fees are expected to generate about $3.7 million in 2012. The percentage of the larger expenses to total HOA revenues is as follows: % OF TOTAL ANNUAL ASSESSMENT General administration 12% Common area maintenance 32% Security 31% Reserve Funding 15% Homeowner and Misc. 5% (Percentages are approximate and based on the 2012 financials) In addition to budgeting for existing services and programs, the board and finance committee consider new services during the budget process. Adding new services usually results in additional expenses. As an example, the HOA will likely assume responsibility for additional common area in the Brenthurst extension area in 2013, which will add expense to operations. Although The Dominion is projected to add 35 to 50 new homes in 2013, bringing in roughly $86K in additional assessment revenue, balancing the 2013 budget will still be a challenge to the HOA because of increased costs and the maintenance of a larger common area. This is but a brief overview of the HOA’s budget process which hopefully is helpful in better understanding how your HOA works. If you have additional questions about the budget, feel free to contact Rob McDaniel, General Manger at the HOA office. Copyright © 2012 Peel, Inc.

LET YOUR HOME LIGHTS SHINE As shorter days and longer hours of darkness approach, exterior lighting becomes more important to Dominion residents. Dominion security has notified the HOA that many homes have no minimal lighting. The biggest reason for this is the light bulbs need replacing. Often times low watt bulbs are adequate to light your walkways and surrounding areas at a very low cost. Remember, replacing your burnt out bulbs will be a deterrent for unwanted visitors, help avoid falls and injury of your guests, facilitate identification of your home for emergency vehicles, and enhance the overall beauty of your home. Check your bulbs and let your home light shine! CONGRATULATIONS MAJOR HERNANDEZ We wish Major Raul Hernandez our heartfelt congratulations for his 24 years of dedicated service to The Dominion. The Major does not keep too many photos, but those residents who were here in 1995 may remember him as he was then and now. Twenty-four years…looking forward to many more. THEN NOW

NATIONAL FERAL CAT DAY Mayor Julian Castro has issued a proclamation that the City of San Antonio will join the nation in recognizing October 16 as National Feral Cat Day.

THE OUTLOOK CTRC Oncologist to Lead Statewide Liver Cancer Trial

A Cancer Therapy & Research Center oncologist will lead the first study launched by the Statewide Clinical Trials Network of Texas (CTNeT). Devalingam Mahalingam, M.D., an oncologist at the Cancer Therapy & Research Center at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, is principal investigator on a Phase II study that will evaluate the drug G202 in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer. CTNeT is a statewide nonprofit research network established by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas to coordinate research efforts among 18 Texas academic institutions and community-based practices. CTNeT chose the proposal submitted by Dr. Mahalingam based on his experience as principal investigator of G202’s Phase I study, conducted at the CTRC. “We are excited that one of our exceptional CTRC physicians will be leading the first clinical trial conducted by CTNeT , and especially as it will focus on new opportunities to cure liver cancer,” said Ian M. Thompson Jr., M.D., director of the CTRC. “Liver cancer disproportionately affects San Antonio and South Texas and it is a major focus of the CTRC. With rising rates of this disease in the U.S. as well, this clinical trial and other scientific work targeting this terrible disease at the CTRC will lead the way for our country’s efforts to prevent, detect, and cure liver cancer.” HCC is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and the number of people in the U.S. diagnosed with HCC has been increasing in recent years,

particularly among the Hispanic and Asian populations. The multiple sites and patients involved in the study will increase researchers’ ability to evaluate the therapy’s benefits. “G202 is a prodrug that can be targeted at a specific site in tumors, sparing normal cells, which means it is less toxic for the body overall,” Dr. Mahalingam said. The drug works by attacking a specific protein called PSMA produced by the new blood vessels forming within a tumor, Dr. Mahalingam said. That also damages the tumor tissue around those blood vessels. Normal liver cells do not express PSMA. HCC occurs primarily in patients with chronic inflammatory disease of the liver, with most cases developing after a viral hepatitis infection such as hepatitis B and C. However, the obesity epidemic in the United States means a growing number of people have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and researchers expect HCC cases to continue to rise. “CTNeT has been developed to facilitate the multi-institution collaborations needed to rapidly evaluate promising new therapies for relatively rare types of cancer such as HCC,” said Charles E. Geyer, Jr., M.D., chief medical officer for CTNeT, “as well as identifying small groups of patients with more common cancers whose tumors are driven by critical genetic abnormalities which provide promising new targets for therapies being developed.” The study will begin enrolling patients within six weeks at up to 10 CTNeT sites throughout Texas. The San Antonio-based biotech company GenSpera will sponsor the trial.

We know it’s tempting, but most Thanksgiving scraps are not safest treat for your pets. Cooked turkey bones are a big no-no as they can splinter and result in a trip to pet ER. Additionally, overindulging your pet in other fatty foods can lead to stomach upset, diarrhea or even life-threatening pancreatitis. Other items to avoid are onion, sage, garlic ... and please, don’t ever give your pet alcohol. If you can't turn away from those puppy-dog eyes, a bite or two of pet-safe veggies like plain broccoli, sweet potato or carrots, or a small taste of plain turkey is usually OK. Put the treats in a Kong or other puzzle toy while you sit down to eat with your family so that your furry begger is happily preoccupied!

The Outlook - November 2012

By Adam J.Mamelak MD, FRCPC, FAAD Skin cancer is on the rise, affecting more Americans over the past three decades than all other cancers combined, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. The good news is that you can do much to prevent it. “The danger in skin cancer is gravest when it goes undetected,” says Dr. Adam Mamelak of Sanova Dermatology in Austin. “It is extremely treatable, and in a large sense preventable when caught early.” To help reduce your risk, follow these sun-smart practices. 7 WAYS TO REDUCE SKIN CANCER RISK: 1. See your physician every year for a professional skin exam. Regular total-body checkups are the best way to make sure your skin is healthy and stays that way. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends annual skin exams. You can receive a FREE skin cancer screening through 2012 at Sanova Dermatology, 12319 N. Mopac in Austin. To schedule your free screening, call (512) 837-3376; no purchase or insurance coverage is necessary. 2. Avoid tanning and UV tanning booths. Even occasional sunbed use almost triples your chances of developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Young people – including teenagers – are especially sensitive to the ultraviolet radiation from tanning booths. 3. Seek the shade and do not burn. Stay in the shade especiallybetween the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are often strongest. Avoid getting burned; even a single sunburn increases your risk of developing melanoma. 4. Cover up with clothing and UV-blocking sunglasses. Protect your skin with densely woven and bright- or dark- colored fabrics, which offer the best defense. Wear a hat with a brim of 3” or greater to protect the face. Use wraparound sunglasses that block 99-100% of the sun’s UV rays, which helps prevent cataracts and melanomas of the eye. 5. Use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen. Every day, yearround, use abroad spectrum sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection and an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 15 or higher. For extended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more. Apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply every 40-80 minutes or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating. 6. Help protect children from sun damage. Keep newborns out of the sun, since their skin possesses little melanin, the pigment that provides some sun protection. Sunscreen should be used on babies over the age of six months. Make sure your children are well-protected with clothing, hats, sunscreen and sunglasses. Ask the pediatrician to examine your child’s skin thoroughly as part of a yearly check-up – especially important for those with fair skin, light eyes and hair, and those with a family history of skin cancer. 7. Examine your skin head-to-toe each month. Look for skin changes and let your doctor know about any sore that does not heal or spot that changes in size, texture or color.
