Yard Work and Your Spine
By: Dr. Wendy DeVries
Spring is here, along with the endless
tasks of mowing the grass, trimming
the hedges, weeding the garden, and
other yard and garden chores. It is
very important that you “watch your
back” when performing these jobs.
Bad posture and poor body mechanics
can lead to back injuries. We focus on
having a healthy spine that relates to a
healthy nervous system which equals
overall good health. Here are some
tips to help prevent back injuries and
keep your spine free of unwanted
stress and that will help your nervous
system functioning optimally.
1.
Before starting any activity in the
yard be sure to warm up first.
Light stretching or a brisk walk
are good ways to do this. This is
especially important if you have
been sitting or resting for a long
period of time like after lunch.
2.
Do not over do it. Make sure that
you know your limitations when
it comes to lifting. Get some one
to help carry loads over 85lbs.
Also take plenty of breaks; fatigue
leaves you more prone to injury,
especially your back and spine.
3.
Use your legs and buttocks
muscles to lift do not bend at
the waist. Try kneeling down or
sit to get close to a job. Avoid
twisting your back when carrying
objects or reaching, instead pivot
your body. Carry loads close to
your body never more than eight
inches away. This allows you to
be more stable and reduces extra
stress on your spine.
4.
When doing prolonged jobs such
as raking or digging actions
make sure to switch positions or
sides to avoid repetitive motion.
One sided motion or staying in
one position too long can cause
muscle imbalances that can cause
spinal misalignments, muscle
spasms, or sprain and strain
injuries. Also use tools that have
long handles to avoid bending
over at the waist.
5.
Don’t spend too much time out in
the sun take precautions for your
skin make sure to take breaks and
drink plenty of water.
Following these
few tips will
hopefully reduce
your chance of
back or spine
injury and allow
you to enjoy
your spring
and gardening
activities.

Director of Tree Folks in Austin, to
Kyle. Mr. Harris will present a public
lecture on Tree Care, focusing on
the best times and methods to prune
your trees (Hint: Not April!!!) and
how to care for “tween trees” - trees
that aren’t newly planted but not

Tree Survey in Fergus and McNaughton Parks �If
you see survey tape on some of the trees in Fergus
Park and McNaughton Park, please don’t be alarmed
and please don’t remove it. The park trees are being
evaluated for safety and proper growth. In essence,
our little forests are beginning the first steps of
thinning to allow the remaining trees to reach their
full stature and to allow for the removal of any trees
that are potential safety hazards. Please leave any
survey tape on the trees and ask anyone in the park
to do the same. If you have any questions, feel free to
email the PC Landscape Committee at
[email protected]
Reminder - Tree Stake Removal
Remember, most trees need only minimal support
for about 6 to 12 months. When staked properly, the
main trunk of a tree should be able to move slightly in
the wind. Very often, tree owners forget to adjust the
guides or remove the stakes as the tree grows. Soon,
the stakes prevent the tree from moving and getting
its exercise. If you have noticed rubs and indentations
on your tree, the guides are too tight. By all means,
loosen them or remove them completely! During the
first growing season, check the ties and stakes every
time you mow or at least, once a month. Some of you
may have attempted to remove the stakes in the past
and found your tree leaning in the street! If this is the
case, start slowly and loosen the ties every month to
allow movement. Once your tree is standing tall and
on its own, you need to remove the tree stakes. Please
contact Dave Brown at [email protected]
to borrow PC’s stake remover. It’s free of charge and
somewhat easy to handle. Email any questions to
[email protected].

with students adorned with Hindi bindi mark.
Special To Plum Creek Press
The children of our local Montessori
school, La Casa dei Bambini, took a
month long journey to the Far East
in February. The children of Asian
heritage spent a day of education and
fun teaching their classmates about
indigenous foods, song, dress, folklore,
language, geography, and much more.
The countries represented were South
Korea, The Philippines, India, and
China.
10
Tonico Vanili, owner of the school, and
Chiquie Estrada, the director, along
with some of the children’s parents,
ended the month long celebration with
a traditional Chinese Dragon Parade
featuring a pinata-style boar head in
celebration of Year of The Boar 2007.
The final feast was complete with a
smoked boar head, Chinese noodles,
Asian fruits, and fortune cookies.
Chiquie said, “There is no better way
to teach diversity than to experience
it first-hand. It is very important for
children to experience differences
in culture at an early age because
that is what they will experience in
life.” Since the owner of the school,
Tonico is from Brazil and Chiquie
is Guatemalan, the school offers the
students a multi-lingual program
incorporating Spanish and Portuguese.
Chiquie says the school will continue
to celebrate the children’s various
cultures each month. If you are
interested in participating in an
event or have questions about the
Montessori program, please call

Tired of Bermuda? Switch to Zoysia!
Mow Less, Weed Less, and Enjoy the shade!
By: Christina Baese,
PC Landscape Committee
Have weeds overrun your Bermuda
lawn? Has shade left you with bare
patches of dirt? If you answered yes,
it may be time to switch to Zoysia.
As many of you know, Bermuda and
Zoysia are the only approved lawn
grasses for Plum Creek. St. Augustine
grass is not allowed in Plum Creek
and in most cases, prohibited by
the City of Kyle. However, Zoysia
provides a perfect blend of both
worlds. It is very drought tolerant
with a plush texture, and many
cultivars have great shade tolerance.
A little about Zoysia…
Zoysia grasses are lush and lovely.
They adapt to a wide variety of soils,
have good to excellent shade tolerance
and wear resistance, have high
12
drought and heat tolerance, and create
an extremely dense, uniform sod,
which crowds and reduces weeds!
It has no serious pest or disease
problems and is regarded as low
maintenance, requiring less fertilizer
and less mowing than Bermuda or St.
Augustine!
The blades vary from extremely
fine to coarse textured, and the root
system is deep. In extreme drought
conditions or after the first hard
frost, Zoysia turns straw in color but
quickly responds to water and is
among the first to green in the spring.
To maintain growth, Zoysia requires
about 1 inch of water per week during
mid-summer, although it can survive
on less than 1⁄2 inch of water per week,
which will keep the grass alive during
prolonged droughts.
Close, frequent mowing produces the
finest turf. In full sun, Zoysia should
be mowed at a 1 to 2 inch height
every 5 to 7 days. In shaded sites, it
should be mowed slightly higher but
at the same frequency.
The biggest downfall to Zoysia is
expense. It runs about $165 per
pallet, which covers about 450 square
feet. Also, Zoysia tends to grow
slower than Bermuda and takes
several months to a year for good
coverage. However, once it takes root,
it spreads quickly and forms a dense
sod. At that point, it may invade
your flowerbeds, but due to its slow
growth, a well-maintained edge solves
that problem.
Are you ready to switch? Stick with
solid sodding…
Are you sold yet? Zoysia lawns are
best established by solid sodding the
entire lawn or large sections. Due to

Mgr’s Corner - Maintain Your Mailbox
By: Dave Brown
Community Association Manager
Mail Box Maintenance
We have noticed a good number of
mailboxes around the neighborhood
are looking tired and
have been discolored
with black algae. If
one of these are
yours, please clean
it up or replace it
with a new metal box
available at Home
Depot or Lowe’s.
Please remember that your mailbox
and its appearance is subject to the
CCR’s of the association.
Also, some residents have started to
place stickers or other adornments
to their mailboxes. Please note this is
not in compliance with the mailbox
maintenance guidelines which state:
Mail Boxes/Mountings Posts:
Mail boxes and their
mounting posts must be kept
in good repair and straight.
The post must be of white
vinyl and the box can be
either metal or vinyl provided
it is of the same original size
and white in color.
The mail box must
have a door flap, red
flag and address on the
box. All are encouraged
to convert the addresses
on the door flap to the
type that fits under the
crook of the mounting posts.
Boxes must not be covered in
unsightly decals or painted
to indicate a favorite sports
team/group.
Please take a few minutes to clean/
repair/replace your mail box and save
your HOA some money and fix up
your mail box before it being cited as
a DRV issue.
Your assistance is appreciated.

Meet The Neighbor’s Dogs - Peaches and Jack
By Peaches
Hi! My name is Peaches and my little
brother is Jack. We’re both rat terriers.
I’m red and white and Jack is black
and tan, like a miniature doberman.
Mom says that we both weigh 13
pounds, but we think she’s wrong -we know we’re a lot bigger than that!
We live with Boots, a former stray
cat that adopted us while we were
out for a walk. We also have a buddy
next door, Ringo, another rat terrier.
He’s my secret boyfriend, but don’t
tell him! We’ve had lots of other
brothers and sisters that came for
awhile and then left for new homes.
Mom calls them “foster dogs”. Mom
takes care of them for a group called
Ratbone Rescues, which rescues dogs
like us from death row and finds
them good, loving homes.
Our job is to put the foster dogs at
ease and teach them that humans are
really not so bad. During the past
year our foster brothers and sisters
found homes in places like New York
City, Arkansas, Dallas and Bulverde.
Our current foster
brother is Baxter, a
very sweet and laid
back older dog who
had something called
“heartworm,” but he’s
cured now. He also has a
broken hip and is about
to have surgery on it,
so we have to be careful
not to bounce on him for
awhile.
When I’m really lucky,
Mom takes me for a ride
in her kayak and I get to
wear my orange Outward
Hound life jacket. Jack is a
baby and cries the whole
time he’s in the kayak, but
kayaking is my favorite
thing to do!
My mom is Becky
Patterson and we live on
Fergus. She’s on the Dog
Park Committee to help
us get a big, safe place where can gets
lots of exercise.
We love our mom because she takes
us for walks, lets us sleep on the
bed and gives us lots of toys and
good treats, even though she makes
us sit for them. Our favorite treat is
something crunchy called Innova
Evo, but Mom rations it because she
says it’s expensive. We love it when
she takes us for rides in the car to our
favorite place, Petsmart.
Jack and I both have
special talents. I can roll
a ball 15 feet across the
floor with a flick of my
paw, and my aim is really
good! Jack can jump about
5 feet straight up in the air
when he’s excited, which is most of
the time.
Jack and I are both very excited about
the dog park and having a place to
run and play without leases. We both
love playing with other dogs and
meeting their humans. And maybe
they’ll even have an agility course.
Whatever that is, it sounds fun and
Mom thinks we’d both be very good
at it!
Bye - I gotta go play now.
Next Class in Kyle will be held
April 26 @ 6:30p.m.
