Max from Montreal

NeighborhoodNews

Neighbors: Luis & Aida Reyes

preciouspetsHe is 7 years old-- a very active male from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Max has been very hyperactive since we got him at 6 weeks old. At 3 months he went to his first obedience course for puppies, called “Maternelle”, which was to introduce him to recognize authority. That two month course was in French language as we lived in Montreal at the time.

At 6 months he had the real “obedience” course, also in French, and at 1 yr old he had another course, but that time in English. As we speak Spanish also, he responds to commands in the 3 languages.

His smile is one of his greatest attributes and when he goes to the vet, he immediately sits down on one of the chairs as if he is a person.

Once, we had a painter remove his Crocs shoes and leave them by the front door. When the painter finished working and went looking for his shoes, only one was left, Max had chewed to piec-es the other one and the man had to leave with only one shoe!

Often if someone comes to work in the house, we have to put Max away because he hides tools, cloths, gloves, etc. He had winter boots in Canada so the salt to melt the snow on the roads wouldn’t get in his toes. He loves the snow.

You may see him walking in the neighborhood every morning at 6 am with Luis and wears a safety fluorescent scarf.

We try not to spoil him. He does not have a bed because he has destroyed 3 already.

We have always had a soft heart for dogs. Before Max we had a Sheltie who died at 16 yrs old after moving to Europe and South America with us, as we were transferred many times. As we moved here 4 ½ years ago from Canada, Max underwent all the inspections and paperwork necessary to legally live in the US.

Max has enriched our home immensely, as our grown up chil-dren live away he has taken the role of kid around the house.

Max is a pure bred Golden Retriever with a tattoo on his right ear with the number of Pedigree Registration in the Quebec Golden Retriever Breeders Club. He had it already when we got him.

I had a friend of mine call me the other day to tell me what a special time he had experienced caring for a parent. He said

he would not trade this journey with anyone else. I told him that I was excited that it was such a meaningful time for him. Then he paused and said, “Now I just want to be his son.”

He didn’t want to be the caregiver that would have to perform various Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) that may be uncom-fortable in a relationship. (ADL’s are commonly defined as activities such as feeding yourself, bathing, dressing, toileting, bowel and bladder management and ambulation.) He wanted to transfer those responsibilities to someone else. He needed someone else who could be the “heavy”. He wanted their remaining relationship to be father/son and not the person who had to deal with situations that my present dignity issues for his father.

What Role is Appropriate?I believe there is nothing sweeter that having the opportunity to care for a loved one. Neither the parent nor the child needs the added stress at the season in either of their lives. So cherish those moments and if there is a time you’d like to fall back into be the son or daughter of a parent needing assistance consider an agency that can handle situations that won’t challenge your relationship. I hope each of us have the blessing of caring for a loved-one. It’s a season you won’t regret.

yardmonthOF THE

Richard & Kristine Notte - 1915 Black Heath Rd

Richard relies on a service to get the lawn cut and trimmed each week, but he does everything else. This includes weeding, feed-ing, making sure the watering is balanced. Mulching and trim-ming of bushes in the gardens and trimming the few trees as they have matured are among his numerous chores.

Some of his secrets are how and when to combat the weeds and determining those that can be sprayed, those that can be pulled and those that have to be carefully dug out. Those that can be sprayed are your regular weeds, like dandelion, various clovers, nut sedge and the wild onions.

He has used Weed and feed three times in 11 years they have lived in Whittington Creek, he spot spray weeds instead of indiscriminately spraying the whole lawn, and he tries to use herbicides sparingly.

Richard states, “The weed that needs to be pulled by hand is crab grass. I have my yearly campaign to hand pull the crab-grass. I go out for a few minutes daily starting in June and look for young plants and hand pull them.”

The problem with crabgrass is that if you don’t get it while it is young, it leaves too many seeds for next year. I have got it down to a reasonable process by being persistent – I like doing it after the workday while the sun is lower and it is nice to be out in the yard. I usually do about 1 small grocery bag each time I go out, and eventually I can’t find anything.

The final one is Bermuda grass. People think it is impossible to get rid of it, but that is not true. You just have to get on top of it before the problem is too big to manage. The plant has three parts. The first is the stomas that grow above the ground – that is what people kill each fall with Round –Up.

The insidious part are the rhizomes which grow from 3 to 6 inches underground – that is what the Round-Up can never get. You basically have to dig that up and make sure you get all of

Whittington Creek neighbor, Kimberly Fanning, nominated Richard and Kristine Notte for Yard of the Month, and asked they be honored for their dedication to the neighborhood.

Richard’s devotion to high standards is obvious, as Kimberly noted, “He works diligently and even pulls his own weeds by hand!”. “He offers free advice and is very knowledgeable in this area.”

continued...

it. If you don’t then you eventually lose your lawn to Bermuda grass. The last part of the plant is the very thin roots that can go 36 inches deep.

Contrary to popular belief, those parts of the plant cannot reproduce, so you don’t need to get those.So typically the deepest you have to go is about six inches. And once it is gone, it is gone.

And for your bushes, I am fairly aggressive in trimming them back. Once they have a good root system, they will come back like gangbusters. The various Hollies need to be kept down or they will take over.

Every few years, I prune my white azaleas back quite severely and they come back stronger each time. Out of the ones I have not trimmed at the back have 2 of 5 have died – so trimming definitely improves their life span.”

Richard believes it is about persistence and understanding how nature works. He really enjoys creating something out of the work of his own hands and doing this work and getting the result is very satisfying.

His choice is a tall fescue lawn, over-seeded every couple of years. He uses three different brands of seed with multiple vari-eties in each, in an effort to put down 8 to 12 varieties of fescue, which are bred for southern lawns. Heat resistance and deeper roots are key attributes. He notes, “A key to a healthy lawn is diversity of the grass varieties.”

Richard has maintained the originally plants of 11 years ago. His back yard has a couple maple trees, with the addition of a magnolia. Two colors in azaleas, red and white and a lot of hol-lies accent area. One of the favorites is a Japanese snowball bush.

Richard admits being “…a bit light on flowers on this property.” He loves the huge show of the azaleas and the Japanese snowball bush and the rhododendrons.

Congratulations to Richard Kristine for being selected for the Yard of the Month.

I like to use the “No Returns Accepted” option in the Addi-tional Checkout Instructions box. This is not because I am mean--I am Mrs. Nicely--but rather I hope it makes the buyer think twice before bidding. I would rather not have customers bidding on a whim thinking they can easily return the item if they change their mind. They probably may not have wanted nor needed the item in the first place. However, if there truly is an issue with an item I have shipped that I did not notice before listing or shipping I definitely work with the customer for an agreeable solution.

Communication with a buyer is important. Problems will arise and the best guide is to keep your buyer informed. An example would be if an item is paid for and is ready to be shipped but for some reason you, the seller, need to go out of town before you can ship that item – LET THE BUYER KNOW. 99% of buyers are very understanding and really appreciate the update. Tell them when you think you CAN ship and then adhere to the new schedule. Even though a message is then generated to the buyer when you create a mailing label, it is nice to also send a note to the buyer via “contact buyer” that you have mailed their item. Good communication leads to hopefully great feedback.

The kidneys fulfill the all-important role of filtering our blood to remove waste products. This means that they are crucial for the

regulation of our toilet habits, and it means that they are crucial for removing the waste from our blood – without our kidneys alco-

hol wouldn't leave our blood and we would stay drunk. Likewise the water balance in our bodies would be incorrect, and kidney fail-

ure can result in many problems including cancer, sepsis and dehydration. However, while the roles the kidneys perform are highly

important, they do also tax them over time so that after too much use they don't work as well as they once did.

QuIT DRInkInG: Or at least seriously limit your alcohol intake. Removing alcohol from the blood stream is something that requires a lot of effort from the kidneys and one of the fastest ways to damage them. After a while of not drinking your kidneys will start to recover and will function much better as a result.

DRInk LOTs Of WATER: You should really be drinking around eight glasses of water a day. This helps to remove waste faster by

how to improve

Few of us treat our kidneys as well as we could and all the junk we allow into our bodies has to be dealt with by our poor kidneys. As such then, it is crucial that we make up for this by taking lengths to ensure we have good kidney function.

Kidney Function

'flushing' it through the body, dilutes the blood to make it easier to treat and it also reduces your chances of developing kidney stones.

EAT WELL: Your kidneys also need to clear waste in the blood stream that comes from the breakdown of food, so eating lots of 'junk food' will increase the amount of work your kidneys have to do. In particular you should aim for a diet that keeps your cholesterol low. Cholesterol is caused by fat depositing in your arteries to create 'arterial plaque' and this then forces the blood to become thicker as it tries to push past those areas. By eating a diet that is high in water and fiber, and low in saturated fats, you can make the role of the kidneys much easier. Fiber is par-ticularly good as it passes through your system as small grains, thereby collecting and clearing out any debris as it goes. This can help to clear out the arteries and the digestive tract.

TAkE MEDICATIOn: There are many medications available both over the counter and on prescription that aim to improve kidney function. These include ACE inhibitors that slow down kidney dis-ease, and diuretics which help the body to clear out excess fluid.

sEE A DOCTOR: If your kidneys are not behaving the way they should then you may require medical attention. For example, you may benefit from surgery that aims to unblock the renal artery which supplies the kidneys with blood. If you have kidney stones or kidney disease they can also recommend the correct treatment.

As we continue our series on Social Security planning, it’s important to understand how spousal benefits work. If you are a married individual who had little to no earnings throughout your working years, Social Security can be received through spousal benefits. Once your working spouse files for his or her benefit, you can also file and start receiving half of your working spouse’s benefit. As the non-working spouse, you may file for benefits before FRA; however, you will receive a reduced spousal benefit.

Two high income-earning spouses can also utilize spousal ben-efits. One of the spouses can file for benefits, and the other can claim spousal benefits. The one who claims spousal benefits can earn Social Security payments but allow his or her personal benefit to continue rolling up until age 70. At that time, one can forfeit spousal benefits and begin taking his or her own Social Security income at the maximum benefit amount.

Divorced or Widowed

If you were married for at least 10 years and have not remar-ried, you can receive spousal benefits based on your ex-spouse’s work history. Again, you may apply as early as age 62, but you will have a reduced payment (see last month’s issue). If you have been divorced for over two years, your ex-spouse does not need to apply for benefits in order for you to receive yours. You will need to produce information to verify you were married and for the SSA to locate appropriate records. With that information, they will be able to calculate your benefits.

If you are widowed, you may receive survivor benefits. You can apply as early as age 60. If you apply before your FRA, you will receive reduced benefits. If you are over your FRA, your benefit will equal 100 percent of your deceased spouse’s benefit. Impor-tant: Your survivor benefit will be 100 percent of your deceased spouse’s actual benefit. If your deceased spouse took benefits early, it will be 100 percent of the reduced amount received. If benefits were delayed to age 70, it will be 100 percent of his or her maximum amount. If you were both receiving Social Secu-rity at the time of a passing, you will receive either 100 percent of your spouse’s benefit or continue receiving your benefit, whichever is greater.

It’s important to have a financial professional who can help you avoid mistakes regarding your spousal benefits.

August Whittington Creek Life 2726 Whittington Creek Life August HomeMatters

OverviewRadon is an odorless, colorless radioactive gas, which can be found in high concentrations in rock and soil that contains granite, shale, phosphate and uranium, or even fill soil containing industrial waste. Radon gas moves through the soil toward the earth's surface where it either safely dissipates in outdoor air or seeps into buildings through cracks and gaps in the building's foundation. Radon can also be introduced into a building through the water supply, particularly if there is a private well. Building products, like stone used for a fireplace, can also be a source of radon gas.

O nce trapped inside a home, radon can accumulate to the point where it can be harmful to the occupants. Radon decay prod-

ucts become attached to airborne particles, which can be inhaled and ultimately cause lung tissue damage and cancer. Smokers are espe-cially prone to the adverse effects of long-term radon exposure.

The potential for radon in a home is dependent on a number of factors such as the underlying soil composition, the type of con-struction materials used, weather conditions, and even occupant lifestyle. Radon concerns tend to be greatest in hilly or mountain-ous regions, and less of an issue in sandy coastal areas. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can provide information on radon and has maps identifying known radon hot spots. But pock-ets of radon-producing elements can be found almost anywhere.

Radon levels may vary from season to season, day to day, or even by the hour, as pressure differences occur outside or within a structure. Dramatically different radon levels can be found in seemingly identi-cal neighboring homes. Consequently, the only way to determine if there is a radon concern is to perform a test. While kits are available for consumer use, it is recommended that radon testing be performed by a qualified radon specialist, especially for real estate transactions.

Since radon gas is naturally occurring, it cannot be eliminated; but it can be controlled. Once the radon level in a particular house is quantified using one of several recognized radon-test-ing methods, steps can be taken to lower the radon level and the potential health concern.

Methods of lowering radon levels include ventilation systems, pressurization of the basement air, and block wall ventilation. The most commonly used and effective method is sub-slab suc-tion, which makes use of plastic piping, installed through the floor slab of a house, basement, or even crawlspace, and a low-volume, continuously operating fan to create a negative-pressure

Radon

within the piping to draw in radon-laden air from below the house and vent it harmlessly to the exterior.
