Spring has sprung! Spring has always been my favorite season for many reasons. First of all, spring indicates the return of warm weather. As a native Texan, this is, without a doubt, the most important event of the year. By my August birthday, the warm weather has worn out its welcome, but the gentle sunshine of early May is divine. My second reason for loving spring is that I adore flowers. To see them blossoming is one of my greatest joys. Whether colorful daisies or elegant roses, they symbolize the diverse and natural beauty all around us. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, spring has always meant one thing to me— softball. Since my first days in little league over a decade

ago, I have always looked forward to playing around in the red dirt and green grass. While I am an enthusiast of all sports, I find a special kind of magic in the game of softball. I’m not sure if it is the consistently vociferous parent fan base, the smell of a new leather glove or the feeling of diving into home plate, but something about the sport makes it so much more than just a game. For me, softball was a distraction through the toughest parts of my life, and it also enhanced the good times. Some of my greatest high school memories involved two-hour-plus bus rides with good friends, cheers, inside jokes in the dugout and looking up to see my favorite teachers in the stands.

Even into college, sports have continued to be a major part of my life. In my first two years, I pitched for the Trinity University softball team. The experience of being a college athlete was an irreplaceable one, and it greatly guided the rest of my college career. I am grateful for the many opportunities that the City of Schertz has offered me in my own maturation, including my four years as a Clemens Buffalo, my time as Miss Schertz and my current position of senior writer at Schertz Tales Magazine, which keeps me connected to the community that raised me. I also have the honor of being Guest Editor of the May issue of Schertz Tales Magazine and its look at female athletes of Schertz, specifically at Clemens, Steele and John

Paul II high schools. High school sports help young women train both their bodies and minds, develop a passion and blossom into their full potential. Each of the three schools offers a unique history to the athletes who represent it. As newer schools, Steele and John Paul II both give athletes the opportunity to create a name for their programs. Clemens, a more established presence, allows its athletes to uphold the Buffalo tradition. Every year, the Schertz area continues to produce quality athletes who go on to compete in schools around the country. I hope you enjoy our issue that celebrates the Girls of Spring and all that they have accomplished and continue to achieve.

TALK OF THE

TOWNZ B Y B R A D E . B A I L E Y, MARY SPENCE AND CHUCK McCOLLOUGH

Viva Schertz!!! Viva Fiesta!!! The Schertz Sweethearts led by Miss Schertz Nicole Elliott, added a little Schertz heart to San Antonio’s 10-day Fiesta Celebration. After attending handful of the 100 official Fiesta activities, their whirlwind week of meeting thousands of attendees culminated April 16 at the Fiesta Flambeau parade. According to Elliot, Fiesta was such fun and all the girls were excited to serve as official representatives of the City of Schertz. VIVA!!!

We are also committed to keeping their primary care physicians informed of and involved in their diagnoses and treatment. Our practice focuses on the examination, diagnosis and treatment of women’s health concerns.

210-653-5501 ne-obgyn.com “A DOCTOR’S CONFESSION TO THE CITY OF SCHERTZ…”

Dear Friend, I want to give credit where credit is due. So, perhaps a confession can help clear the air so there’s no misunderstanding, Before I talk about my confession, though, let me say a few other things first. Let me start by explaining the photo in this letter. You know, when I meet people in town they usually say, “Oh, yeah, I know you, you’re Dr. Martin. I’ve seen your ad with that picture of you and the two cute kids.” Well, I’m the guy in the middle. Years ago I was a college baseball player, but I developed a painful neck, shoulder and arm condition. In my case it came on suddenly. The pain in my hands was so intense that I couldn’t raise my arm above my head or even throw a baseball. I was afraid that I would lose my scholarship if it continued. I went to my trainer and medical doctor and was given anti-inflammatories. The problem with those medications is that they just mask the symptoms and in my case did not help. Finally, after steroid injections I decided against it. But, there’s more…A family member of mine convinces me to give their doctor a try. This new doctor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I could use my arm again. Oh, did I mention that this doctor is a chiropractor. It worked so well that I went to chiropractic school myself. Now for McKenna and Cooper, who are the cute kids in the picture. They get adjusted regularly and are some of the healthiest kids you will know. Their mom is also problem-free even with all the bending and lifting a busy mom of two does. It might seem like a

small thing, but it makes a big difference to her. It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their neck, arm and shoulder problems. Also they come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few. Here’s what some of my patients had to say: “I have not had a headache in months”- (Mary J.) “Mood and attitude have improved” – (Lisa A.) Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take the credit. My confession is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s a simple as that! Forty-eight million Americans no longer have health insurance, and those who do have found that their benefits are reduced. That’s where my I come in. I have a significantly lower fee plan so that more people are able to afford the care they need. A whole week of care in my office costs what you could pay for one visit elsewhere. Studies show that people actually pay less for their long-term overall health care expenses if they are seeing a chiropractor. You Benefit from an Amazing Offer- Look, you are going to write a check to someone for your health care expenses, you may as well write one for a lesser amount for chiropractic. When you bring in this article, you will receive my entire new patient exam for $17. That’s with an evaluation and X-Rays….the whole ball of wax. But, please call right away because this offer expires on May 31, 2011, and I don’t want you to miss out.

By the way, further care is very affordable and you’ll be happy to know that I have affordable plans. You see I’m not trying to seduce you to come see me with this low start up fee, then to only make it up with high fees after that. Further care is very important to consider when making your choice of doctor. High costs can add up very quickly. Great care at a great fee…Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications…I’m a Magna cum Laude graduate of Cleveland Chiropractic College and a Strength and Conditioning Specialist. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes that you may know. After practicing for four years in San Antonio I moved my practice to Schertz. I just have a low exam fee to help more people who need care. My Associate, Dr. Kyle Stringer, brings over five years of experience to our practice with the latest in pain-free techniques. My assistant is Melissa, and she is really a great person. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service, at an exceptional fee. Our office is called Schertz Chiropractic and it is at 17323 IH 35 North Ste 106, (we are between 3009 and Schertz Parkway on the 35 South Access Road). Our phone number is 210-6466000. Call Melissa or me today for an appointment. We can help you. Thank you. -Patrick W. Martin, D.C. P.S. When accompanied by the first, I am also offering the second family member this same examination for only $10. P.S.S. Your time is just as valuable as ours, that’s why we will be with you promptly at your appointment.
