t all started with an episode of “Little House on the Prairie.” The family had to camp under the stars and we all thought that camping looked like fun. Oh, if only you could edit real life like a movie! You could start by cutting the two weeks of preparation for a two-night stay. At home, we tend to take things like bandaids, foot spray, Q-tips, food for five, paper towels, lighter fluid, potable water, wash rags, towels, and clothing for unknown temperature ranges, for granted. Taking it all with you is whole other story. We packed and piled, and piled and packed, everything in the dining room. I looked at all the stuff and while calculating the cost of a mid-size U-Haul, thought, “Heck, why not just stay here and go mountain climbing?” We could also edit personality styles. Mine is the “figure it out as you go” personality,

which hubby calls scatterbrained, whereas I prefer the more positive “creative freespirit,” which is normally very attractive until you get to the campsite and everyone starts demanding clean underwear and food of all things. My husband, whom I refer to as “Germ Guy,” although he prefers the more positive “hygienically perceptive,” (which is normally attractive until you are forced to sterilize the weenie fork in between marshmallows), has just begun his inventory list of various disinfectants, bug sprays, Ebola vaccine and tsetse fly netting. I am in the car with the engine running while he has barely started alphabetizing his vitamin and herb supplements into his compartmentalized container (necessary lest we succumb to vitamin deficiency on our 48 hour diet of s’mores and lukewarm weenies). Lastly, we could edit out the unlimited variety of crawly creatures, which either buzz, sting or eat everything except concrete. I own a “sounds of nature” CD that features tranquil sounds of rushing water and a variety of birdsong, which is very relaxing. But at 5 a.m., real birdsong sounds more like a college kegger, which I am in no mood for after a midnight battle with a tent flap sporting an attitude. Despite these “edits,” there are some things I would leave in: Bacon frying in the crisp, morning air, our kids playing Frisbee and fishing down by the lake instead of watching TV, my husband COOKING (oh, I mean “grilling”), and not thinking once about bills or chores or how we are going to pay for college. Come to think of it, we may go camping again real soon… Debby Seguin can be reached at writewell62@yahooI’llnevercampagain. com

A Taste of the Northside’s 2014 Queen of the Vine, Natalie Pfeiffer, raised $265,000 for the Brighton Center.

Natalie Pfeiffer and her husband P.J., worked as a dynamic duo to help raise funds for the Brighton Center. Natalie Pfeiffer worked with Stephanie through the Brighton Center, which inspired her to run for Queen of the Vine where she raised money for the organization.

A Taste Of The Northside’s Queen of the Vine Raises $265,000 for the Brighton Center

By Katrina Campbell

iesta® is right around the corner and for San Antonio’s Northside, that means one thing, it’s time for A Taste of the Northside! Voted the Best Fiesta Event® by WOAI for three years in a row, this event has it all for those looking to experience Fiesta® in a super fabulous kind of way. This year, the fan favorite event will be celebrating its fifteenth anniversary and to celebrate, the hosts of the event, the Brighton Center, is pulling out all the stops. Guests can expect additions like a Stella Artois beer garden, a 10 minute fireworks finale and a local favorite band, The Max, playing on the main stage. In regards to restaurants, there will be many veterans to the event like Kirby’s Steakhouse, P.F. Changs and H-E-B with their abundance of food, wine and sommeliers onsite to tell you more about what you’re tasting. And no Fiesta® is complete without their own set of royalty and A Taste of the Northside is no different. The Queen of the Vine, Natalie Pfeiffer, will be reigning over the event ensuring that the VIP lounge named in her honor has only the best food, drinks and music to offer. Pfeiffer and her entire family have been tremendous supporters of the organization for more than 10 years and when the opportunity to run for Queen of the Vine was presented to Pfeiffer, she quickly jumped at the chance. “I am blessed and honored to have worked with this amazing organization in the past and my family, friends and I continue to support them in their efforts to reach even more children in our community,” said Pfeiffer. “Based on our experience working and being involved with Brighton Center, my daughters have witnessed, first-hand, the value of inclusion and encouraging others to reach their potential. I am so proud to know that my girls do not see disabilities, instead they see the ability in all children.”

The cover of this edition features Pfeiffer and her daughters Kenzie and Cami; an accurate reflection of how her campaign was ran, as a family effort. Through special events, raffles, online donations and auction items, every member of Pfeiffer’s family played an integral role in her quest to become Queen of the Vine. From her husband PJ Pfeiffer reaching out to numerous corporations requesting support, to her daughters selling raffle tickets, to her recruiting her friends and family to help host an event, the Pfeiffer family worked together tirelessly to raise money for the more than 2,700 children with disabilities or delays that the Brighton Center serves every year.

The efforts of Natalie and her team of supporters more than paid off with a total of $200,000 being raised for Brighton Center. Shattering every individual fundraising record set to date, Pfeiffer earned the coveted title of Queen of the Vine, and will be representing Brighton as the official Fiesta® royalty of A Taste of the Northside. The entire 2014 Queen of the Vine campaign court included Tiffany Mock Briggs, a wealth management advisor for Merrill Lynch and mother of two; and Princess of the Vine, ZZ Mylar, a marketing/advertising specialist and mother of six, two of which received services from Brighton. Collectively, these 3 women have raised $265,000 for the Brighton Center, a feat that would typically take a whole army of volunteers to accomplish in several years’ time. These women stand in good company and have followed well in the footsteps of their most recent Queen predecessors like April Ancira, 2013 Queen of the Vine; Shelly Miles, 2012 Queen of the Decade & 2008 Queen of the Vine; and Dr. Amy Jackson, 2011 Queen of the Vine, who each broke the Queen of the Vine campaign record in the respective years they ran. You can come out and visit with the Queen of the Vine and her court at A Taste of the Northside on April 23 from 5:30-10:30 p.m. All proceeds from A Taste of the Northside benefit Brighton Center and each general admission ticket is only $55 (pre-sale) and includes eight Food tastings from over 50 of San Antonio’s best restaurants, five beer or wine tastings courtesy of Silver Eagle and Glazer’s, and Free Parking & Shuttle. Guests can also upgrade to the Queen of the Vine’s V.I.P. Lounge where they can enjoy additional food and drink tastings, exclusive indoor access, a commemorative wine glass and butler tray, as well as special reserved shuttle parking. Limited tickets are available for $200. For more information, visit www.BrigtonSA.org or call 210-826-4492.

Brighton has been serving the community for over 40 years. Brighton Center serves over 2,700 children with developmental delays and disabilities and their families each year through four distinct initiatives - an inclusive child development center, early childhood intervention, parent education and advocacy training. Brighton Center continues to fulfill its vision to create a society where all children are valued and included. April 2014 • Welcome Home • 78232/78248

The Tutoring Solution

Huntington Learning Center

“

By Amanda Burris

Seeing the peace that comes from not having to worry about grades, no longer having to fight over homework and having a child that looks forward to school instead of dreading it – that is what I love most about working at Huntington . . . My goal for all [the students] is to become confident, motivated, life-long learners that know they have the skills they need to pursue their dreams.”

here is nothing more frustrating to a student than falling behind in school and then having to continue to move forward each year, still struggling. At Huntington Learning Center, their certified teachers work one-on-one with students to develop an individualized approach that ultimately get them back on track. Founded in 1977 by Dr. Raymond Huntington and his wife Eileen, new curricula and instructional methodologies were developed that could benefit students of all grades and ages. With their belief that children will advance more quickly and see success through an individualized approach, the company has since grown to include hundreds of locations nationwide, which have helped to achieve this goal. In 2007, Huntington Learning Center found its start in San Antonio, first opening in Stone Oak and one year later opening a second center at DeZavala/I10. The DeZavala Center just recently was relocated to the Alon Shopping Center as of the beginning of April. Tom Rice is the owner of the two centers and has staffed each location with a dedicated and highly qualified staff, including center directors Staci Dennis and Mark Anne Millburn who are continually reaching out to those students who may be struggling or falling behind. While children begin to learn academic skills in early grades, each subsequent grade level continues to build on top of that, making it difficult if a student has fallen behind. Many times parents may only see a child is struggling, appear unmotivated or just is not doing well in their academics. “Sometimes it’s interpreted as they just don’t like school or they have a bad attitude about school,” Rice said. “But it typically really is that you don’t like to do what you’re not good at, and that the skills aren’t in place with the student that are making them really struggle in the classroom.” “We identify where the gaps are and go back to make sure all of the skills are in place for [the students] to be able to do their work independently going forward,” Rice said. At Huntington Learning Center, the staff has a variety of ways to approach academic problems, which can ultimately build to better confidence for the student. Whether a student needs help to transition into mainstream classes, needs assistance on particular subjects, wants to polish their study skills or is even looking for course enrichment in subjects to provide a challenge, Huntington Learning Center can make all the difference for students in K-12 (and even for adult students). “We start with a thorough academic evaluation to see what specific areas our students need help in,” said Staci Dennis. “Then we customize a program to help them reach their goals. We work closely with students’ parents and school teachers to ensure that we are all working together to make them successful at school, home and in the future.” While Huntington Learning Center aids in the learning process, it is not meant to be a replacement for school

rather, it should be more of a partnership. The learning center is comprised of certified teachers who are dedicated to seeing their students succeed both inside and outside of the classroom. Their approach, however, is more successful when they have a better understanding of what goes on in the student’s school life – they may even go in to talk to the student’s teacher. “It may be that there is something going on in the school that we don’t pick up from testing or working with them. So we can individualize their program by going to the schools and talking with them,” said Mark Anne Millburn. Through the learning center, Huntington targets the cracks in the student’s learning foundation and looks to put them back on course through their structured program. “Organized program is a benefit for children who don’t have structure in their life,” Millburn said. “They will bloom and grow faster when they have those boundaries.” Besides the learning center, students can also go to Huntington to prepare for college entrance exams such as the SAT/PSAT and the ACT. Preparing for college can be stressful and overwhelming to students, so Huntington Learning Center helps to alleviate that by developing a personal test prep program by giving the students an actual test under similar conditions while examining their strengths and weaknesses. The ultimate goal is that the student will be prepared and confident when they take the real test so that they have a better chance at getting into the college of their choice.

– Staci Dennis, Center Director at Huntington Learning Center By focusing on all aspects of academics, Huntington Learning Center is designed to be the whole tutoring solution for parents. “The natural progression is first the learning center at a younger age and getting them up to speed and getting their skills in place. Once those are in place, they may have certain subjects that they hit along the way that they may need help in and so subject tutoring helps them with that,” said Rice. “And then, when they are in high school we have an outstanding course to prepare them for SATs or ACTs.” “Seeing the peace that comes from not having to worry about grades, no longer having to fight over homework and having a child that looks forward to school instead of dreading it – that is what I love most about working at Huntington,” said Dennis. “…My goal for all [the students] is to become confident, motivated, life-long learners that know they have the skills they need to pursue their dreams.”

Jump Start Your Fat Loss By Claudia Ramirez, MS,CSCS f you are not quite ready to reveal that new lean body after working out then let me shed some light on why your cardio program didn’t quite melt that winter layer off like you thought it would. When most people embark on a fat loss they inevitably start with cardio. They hop on a treadmill or elliptical and start working themselves to exhaustion. Initially they feel great. The sweat starts pouring off them. They step on the scale a week later and see the scale drop a few pounds. Great! Keep it up! They continue the same plan for one month and then they step on the scale and are

disappointed to see the scale hasn’t dropped much since the first week! What happened? They were following a good eating plan. Why is the scale not moving? In the fat loss game your goal should be to set your metabolism on fire. Picture yourself as a car. Fat is fuel. Do you want to be fuel efficient, burning through your gas slowly or do you want to be fuel inefficient and burn through gas quickly? You definitely want to burn through that fat as quickly as possible, right? Now, take a look at your choice of “fat loss” exercise. Walking on the treadmill for 45 min at 3.5 mph, 45 min on the elliptical at level 4, stationary bike

for 45 min while checking facebook on your phone. All steady state, long duration “Prius” type exercises. These are great ways to improve cardiovascular endurance but they are not great ways to burn fat. The exercise is just not intense enough to create a long lasting boost in your metabolism. You need to create some “Maserati” style training instead. Burn through that fuel fast and furiously. Once you establish cardiovascular fitness, you can transition to “Maserati cardio”. The idea is to do short bursts of intense exercise followed by short rest periods. Take that treadmill walk, for example, start with

your usual walk and after 5 min, take it up a notch. Set the incline to 5-10 percent for 30-60s and then go back down to a level walk. Continue this process of high incline followed by level walking for 20 min and then cool down for 5 min. You are done with your first cardio interval session. Transition your steady state cardio to intervals and watch the fat start to melt away. HealthLink is a health and fitness center owned by the Baptist Health System.

Dutch Boy has been working with its’ customers for over 32 years and has seen it all from changing fashions to changing fabrics. The fabrics used to manufacture many of today’s garments need specialized cleaning and handling. One thing we have found is that there is more than one way to clean a particular garment. Most dry cleaners are restricted to one method of cleaning which isn’t good news for your clothing. Our cleaners are experts at proper fabric care. For example, there are times when certain garments need to be cleaned in water even when they say, “dry clean only”. We have

specialized detergents and controls for doing this and the results are always fabulous. This commitment to your clothing is what we are all about. If you have a special garment or stain problem, we will work with you on a proper care procedure. Whether you bring us a St. John, Armani, Vera Wang or a pair of jeans from Wal-Mart, Dutch Boy Cleaners has the right methods to care for those garments. Dutch Boy is a full service cleaner. That means whatever you have to clean we can take care of it for you. Wedding dress preservation, leathers, furs, drapes and comforters are welcomed and cleaned professionally.

Hormone Therapy: It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way

By Donna Becker, D.O. Enhancement of Life (210) 545-5224 t about age 50 or so, insomnia with daytime fatigue and awakening with night sweats begins in women and even in some men. For men, the predominant sign of dwindling hormones, in my opinion, is lack of confidence with some anxiety. You tell yourself, well, I am getting older! I need to exercise more, eat better, lose weight, and then things will be better. But they don’t really get better – and without hormones

it may be very difficult to ramp up the willpower to deny comfort foods and get out and run. Theory behind anti-aging medicine is simple: restore hormones to a more youthful range and restore yourself. Aging is really a deficiency disease – replace that which you can no longer make inside of your endocrine glands. Anti-aging really is wellness medicine. Many women have said to me, “My doctor said, you’re just getting older.” Think of yourself as a beautiful but older, sports car. You must replace parts and fix it, so the

car will continue to run. Why would you go to a mechanic who might talk of driving the car less, or buying a new cheaper model? For women, make sure you are taking a balance of hormones. Even if you don’t have a uterus, you need the calming, leveling effect of progesterone. Testosterone is not just for libido, but for drive, muscle, energy, and most importantly, for a sense of well being. The range of testosterone =2075, estradiol=35-75, progesterone= 10-20. That is the synopsis of what I do – I get the numbers right. We are all different, you the patient, guides me. I like to ask rapid

Bereavement Program Offers Support Services Special To Welcome Home ife After Loss, a bereavement program offered to San Antonio residents for the past 26 years, is now under the umbrella of The Ecumenical Center. The six-week bereavement program provides emotional support and healing in a safe environment for anyone who has lost a loved one in the past two years. Life After Loss support groups are led by credentialed group facilitators and follow a defined curriculum to guide group members through the difficult grief process. Everything discussed in group meetings is confidential and handled with the utmost respect. The program has increased by 40 percent in number of trained facilitators over the

past three years and serves well over 650 bereaved families each year. “The death of a loved one is such a jolting experience and many people need a safe place to express their feelings – their anger, their sadness, their fears,” Mary Beth Fisk, CEO and Executive Director of The Ecumenical Center said. “We want people to know that the Ecumenical Center offers such a place and we are here to help them and support them.” Life After Loss’s curriculum is designed to help people understand the process of grief, assess where they are in that process and plan for how they will continue to heal. It also provides an opportunity for people to connect with others who are grieving and learn that they are not the only ones; and that

they have something to offer one another. Each session focuses on a specific aspect of grief and then gives participants the opportunity to share their own experiences. The group process emphasizes expression of feelings and setting goals that nurture hope. The focus of each session is: • Overview of Physical, Emotional, Spiritual and Social implications of grief • Understanding the Grief Process • Memories and How to Use Them to Heal • How to Take Care of Yourself While You Grieve • Holidays and Anniversary Dates • Planning for the Future “What I find most rewarding in working

Compostela: A Beautiful Journey

Submitted By Bertha Jacobson fter watching the movie The Way, Jorge and Flavia Valle knew immediately that they too, were going to complete the pilgrimage to Compostela. Life has a way to open doors to unexpected opportunities, and for them, it came in the way of the seemingly innocuous movie. The 2010 film takes his main character, played by Martin Sheen, on an emotional and physical journey through El Camino de Santiago, a 500 mile trek across Spain which culminates with the arrival at the Cathedral of Santiago, believed to be Apostle St. James’ burial place. Pilgrims have been traveling ‘El Camino’ for over fifteen hundred years, and yet, the experience is something extremely personal

and completely different for everyone. “Walking the whole Camino in one trip was out of the question because of time constraints and job commitments,” explained Ms. Valle, “but we decided to start with the minimum distance of one hundred kilometers.” The baby boomer couple in their early sixties, who work as Court Interpreters with the Bexar County District Courts, are passionate about traveling and belong to a walking group. Nevertheless walking for nine days on the Spanish landscape was different from anything else they had ever done. Last September, following months of rigorous backpacking training, the Valles left for Spain. It proved to be more than a spiritual and physical journey. It was a challenge to their endurance, their

determination and their courage. “Walking El Camino,” Flavia reminisces, “is not only the most physically challenging activity I have ever attempted, it is also a journey of self-growth. The first three days were the hardest, after that, you find your own momentum and your body adapts to the long walking.” The scallop shell marked route takes you through small villages where locals and pilgrims alike gather at the town’s square for an afternoon meal. The state-run hostels or albergues fill rapidly and people are allowed to stay there for only one night. The average pilgrim walks 20 km/day. “Suddenly, while walking El Camino, you perceive time and space in a different paradigm,” Valle explains. “I was able to enjoy hours of silence and deep contemplation. I made peace with myself. At other times, it was like a big walking party.” The Valles enjoyed their first experience

of El Camino: the walking, the scenery, the reflection, meeting new friends, visiting the towns and learning about their culture and history. As soon as they came back, they started planning their second trip. They hope to continue going back until they have completed the whole pilgrimage of the French route to Compostela.

pring time is here and it couldn’t have come sooner. Typically people are pulling out cleaning supplies and tidying up houses; and it shouldn’t be any different for your vehicles. Now is a great time to get your vehicle up to speed after all your winter driving. Come by Belden’s Automotive & Tires and let our certified technicians perform a Multi Point Inspection and get your vehicle ready for the hot summer driving. Here are a few

friendly reminders: Have all engine performance problems like hard starts, rough idling and stalling conditions checked out. These problems can affect your gas mileage and if corrected you can catch minor problems before they escalate into costly repairs in the future. Because over-heating is the leading cause of roadside breakdowns, Belden’s Automotive & Tires attaches special emphasis to our Cooling System Service,

make sure and have your vehicle’s cooling system serviced with a comprehensive set of products and tools to ensure reliable performance of this all-important system. Check the conditions of your tires including your spare. Remember that uneven wear, ‘cupping,’ vibrations, or ‘pulling’ to one side indicates problems with your tires or suspension system. Have your air conditioning system serviced by a qualified technician and remember the air conditioners on older vehicles often contain ozone-depleting chemicals that could be released into the air through improper service. Routine brake inspection and service is important for safety and can save you money in the long wrong. Failure to replace worn brake pads, for example, can result in more expensive damage to rotors and wheels.

It is because emotional tears are more watery than normal tears. The eyelids and surrounding tissues absorb some of this excess water causing them to swell and get puffy. Parents check your children’s eyes. Certain drugs such as marijuana can cause eyes to get dry, red, irritated and increase light sensitivity. So if your child shows any of these signs it doesn’t mean they are using recreational drugs, but have their eyes examined. Sleeping in contact lenses can cause some serious eye health problems. There are only a few contact lenses that are approved for extended wear use. There is a four times greater risk of eye problems from sleeping in contact lenses. No lenses should be worn for 30 days as suggested by some

manufacturers. Six days on and one day off and replace at proper intervals is the best way to wear and extended wear contact lens. Stay tuned next month to see other interesting facts about our eyes.
