Fruits, goldmine of vitamins, min-erals and fiber are ideal to con-sume at least 4-5 servings in a day. Since they are in the natural form, account for largest part of water and 100% bad cholesterol free, it's much easier for the body to pro-cess and absorb the vitamins and minerals from the fresh fruit.

Apple: Round fruit with lots of fiber, vitamins A, C, E and folate. Available in green, red or yellow skin when ripe. Apples reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. They also help with heart disease, weight loss and control-ling cholesterol.

Bananas: Long thick skinned fruit yellow in colour when ripe. Good source of fiber, po-tassium, vitamins A, C, B6, E & folate. Unripe or green ba-nanas are used in cooking.

Cherries: Small round fruit with a seed, red or black in colour when ripened. Cherries always have to be ripe to eat. Cherries contain anthocyanins that reduce pain & inflamma-tion.

Lime: Lime or lemon is the most cultivated citrus fruit with green to yellow colour loaded with vitamins A, C and folate. Juice of lime is good for detoxification and has anti-oxidant properties.

Kiwi: A rich source of vita-mins A, C, E, B complex, cal-cium, iron and folic acid, kiwi is a small oval fruit with thin brown skin, soft green flesh and black seeds. The skin is a good source of flavonoid anti-oxidants.

Plum: Soft round smooth-skinned fruit with sweet flesh and a flattish pointed stone. It is high in carbohydrates, low in fat and calories. An excel-lent source of vitamin A, C, calcium, magnesium, iron, po-tassium, fiber and free of sodi-um and cholesterol.

Strawberry: A triangular shaped red colour fruit. It is one of the richest sources of Vitamin C and fiber. It has high content of sodium and iron. It helps in whitening of the teeth. Used to relieve rheu-matism.

The Secret of Fruits

That heavy box you’re about to lift doesn't come with a warning:

Lift at your own risk.

But maybe it should.

Heavy lifting can increase your risk for a hernia, which usually occurs when abdominal fat or part of the small intestine pushes through a weak area in the lower abdominal wall. Along with heavy lifting, these things can also strain abdominal muscles and cause hernias:

Persistent coughing

Sudden twisting

Straining from chronic consti-pation

Gaining weight or being obese

While hernias can occur anywhere in the abdominal wall, as many as 80 percent form in the groin. Men are especially prone to this type of hernia. But women are not im-mune.

Hernias do not disappear or get better over time. Because hernias can sometimes cause serious

implications, it’s im-portant to let your doctor know if you think you have one. Among the warning signs are:

A bulge in the scrotum, in one or both sides of the groin or in the ab-

dominal wall

A burning feeling at the bulge

A weakness or pressure in the groin

Surgery-in which a surgeon push-es back the protruding tissue and repairs the muscle wall– is the standard treatment for hernias that cause significant pain or dis-comfort

Some doctors perform laparo-scopic hernia surgery, in which they repair the hernia through several small incisions. It may re-sult in a speedier recovery. Typi-cally, surgery does not require an overnight hospital stay.

Hernia needs treatment

Gilberto G. Vera

Gilberto G. Vera

was born on

March 5, 1918 in

Benavides, Duval

County, Texas. He

was the oldest

child of Guillermo

and Antonia

Garza, who were

from Benavides,

Texas.

Vera was raised on

a farm close to Be-

navides. There he

worked his early years to help support his family.

Vera attended schools in Benavides. He lived

during the hard years of the Great Depression of

America.

When World War II broke out, Gilberto was ea-

ger and ready to serve his county. In 1942, he

received his Selective Service Notice to be draft-

ed into the armed forces. On February 14, 1942,

Gilberto Vera was inducted into the United

States Armed Forces at Fort Sam Houston in San

Antonio, Texas.

His first station was at Ellington Field in Galves-

ton, Texas. After a few weeks of training he was

shipped to Savannah, Georgia. There he did

more training for the Army Air Corp.

Gilberto’s unit was transferred to New York City

from there he and the other troops were shipped

across the ocean to fight in the European Thea-

tre. This trip would be Vera’s first and last over

seas trip. Vera was extremely seasick all the way

to Europe. This was one trip he always remem-

ber and often spoke about it with his family and

friends.

Vera served in the 12th and 15th Army Air

Corps. His main duty was switch board operator

for the 650-31 signal company. His division ar-

rived in Naples, Italy and later went on to North

Africa followed by D-Day invasion in Norman-

dy.

Vera’s service to the armed forces was a total of

3 years, 7 month and 17 days. According to his

military records he received the following deco-

rations and citations:

Presidential Unit Citation

Four (4) Bronze Stars

EANE-Campaign Medal

Good Conduct Medal

Vera served in the following battles and

campaigns:

Air-Offensive Europe-ARNO

Naples-Foggins

Tunisia-North Africa

Upon returning home, Vera was released on a

Honorable Discharge on September 30, 1945 at

the Separation Center at Fort Sam Houston in

San Antonio, Texas. He returned to his

hometown of Benavides, Texas. Once settled in,

he took advantage of the G.I. Bill and received

his high school diploma from Benavides High

School.

Continuing his employment, he went to work for

Reynolds Metals Co. in Ingleside, Texas. There

he worked for the next 30 years. Once he retired

from Reynolds Metals Co. he went to work with

the Alice Fire Department in Alice, Texas. Vera

also worked with the Alice Police Department as

a school crossing guard.

After the war and later during his retirement

years, Vera continued to visit with his war bud-

dies, who were seen to each other as brothers.

Vera was always cheerful and happy during

these visits, whether they be in person or via tel-

ephone, letters or Christmas cards.

Occasionally his war buddies would travel into

Alice and spend a few days with Vera. Some

would come as far away as New York and New

Jersey. Here they would reminisce in their war

stories and pictures. They always remembered

the soldiers that did not come back.

Twice in his lifetime, Vera traveled to Savannah,

Georgia. This was a city he fell in love with

while being stationed there during World War II.

Vera continued to honor his country with a flag

pole in front of his home where he daily dis-

played the American flag and especially on Me-

morial Day and Veterans Day.

For many years, Vera always remind his family

that upon his demise, he should be buried in his

original World War II uniform. On May 12,

2005 Gilberto G. Vera entered into eternal rest.

His family carried out his wishes and Vera was

buried in his World War II uniform.

Vera was survived by three sons, Gilberto Jr.,

Willie, Tony and one daughter, Carmen.

Aries A developing interest in a fellow work-er could cause you some headaches on several levels unless you are able to cool it. Office romances seldom follow a smooth path and if it is serious, one or the other should consider a change of employment, if possible. In health matters, follow the advice of your phy-sician, regardless of the seeming incon-venience.

Taurus Your vacation plans could be spoiled by carelessness involving planning pro-cedures. Pay special attention to such matters as vehicle safety and reliabil-ity. Seek to avoid arguments concern-ing financial matters, particularly with persons who have no direct interest. Romance could take a side-trip along interesting avenues, but caution should be used when a situation in-volves someone previously committed.

Gemini An old love affair, kept on the back burner for a lengthy period, could ei-ther flame up suddenly or die quietly, depending on your reaction to a touchy situation. Individual cases may vary, but the latter course could prove the wisest in the long run for many. Avoid unnecessary arguments with colleagues over credit for minor ac-complishments.

Cancer An ability to say the right thing at the right time is to be treasured — but sometimes, it is better to say nothing at all. An urgent appeal for financial help should be handled carefully, but a minor amount of money might prove less expensive than injured feelings. Excitement in romance could be intoxi-cating, but make sure you view the entire picture before saying yes.

Leo When planning a trip, be sure to make important reservations well ahead of time, confirming them with a deposit if necessary. Steer clear of office malin-gerers and backbiters, as you may be lumped with them when it comes time to separate the sheep from the goats. Exercise your will power when it comes to making major purchases of luxury items. If there is no need, there will be little pleasure.

Virgo Precaution is advised when dealing with one whose vision is limited by jealousy. Anything you say can — and probably will — be used against you if things come to a showdown. Romantic plans could go awry if you are unable to overcome a tendency to flirt indis-criminately.

Libra This could be your lucky month, if you take advantage of the opportunities that may come your way. Make sure that you clear up any old debts that might be hanging and don’t neglect an important letter that needs writing. A new love partner could enter your life now, but you may not be able to no-tice him or her because of being too tied up with inconsequential matters.

Scorpio Get back to nature. Find your pleas-ures in simpler things and don’t be too tied to modern conveniences and fri-volities. Expect a certain amount of trouble resulting from an overindul-gent appetite. You could avoid some of the problems, however, if you rely on the advice of an old friend. Career matters could improve and you may be in line for a promotion or increase in income if you move fast.

Sagittarius Set your mind to the task and you will find it not nearly as difficult as you thought at first. In dealing with an old flame who no longer ignites you, try to be both gentle and truthful. Operating within your own framework will prove to be much more profitable to you than striking out for unknown fields.

Capricorn Your latent creative talents have lain hidden long enough. Now is the time to trot them out and run them up the flagpole. If no one salutes, you won’t have lost anything, but if they do, you could be in for some surprising chang-es in your lifestyle. An excellent chance for matrimony awaits many unmarried Capricorns and — perhaps — for some who are.

Aquarius A trip to another city or climate could open things up for you and prove to be much more interesting than you had imagined. Stop mistreating your body, particularly with excesses of food and drink, and your general health will im-prove dramatically. If you are in the mood for romance, don’t stand on cer-emony and let the object of your affec-tions know how you feel. Career prob-lems may improve suddenly.

Pisces A new business partnership could en-hance your earnings if you choose one who is industrious and talented. Do not become involved with those who merely talk a good game, however. In romantic activity, keep things light and don’t commit yourself too early in the game. Parental concerns could be par-amount to you, but may become less of a problem if you are frank.

Dia de los muertos

– 2 de Noviembre

Cementerios llenos de familias,

flores, comida y música es como se

celebra el Dia de los Muertos en

México. Altares son decorados con

fotos del fallecido, comida, flores y

velas. Es cuando recordamos a

nuestros seres queridos.

En realidad no es necesario espera

el Dia de los Muertos para visitar a

nuestro ser querido, esto puede

hacer cualquier día. Ellos nos están

viendo donde quiera que estén.

Debemos de visitar cuando pode-

mos. Muchas veces nosotros nece-

sitamos de ellos y ellos de noso-

tros. No es necesario llevar flores

siempre, nomas decir una oración

para que ellos estén bien.

El monumento del foto esta en un

cementerio arredro de San José y

Concepción, Texas. Esto era cuan-

do las familias hacían todo cuanto

podían para estar todos junto y

poner pierdas grandes. Este retra-

to lo tomo un señor que visitaba

los cementerios para recordar sus

Live

Join us on the third Thursday of the Month for

a community event for the entire Family.

Chamber of Commerce

The American Legion is the na-

tion’s largest and most influential

network of U.S. wartime veterans,

families and communities. From

budget hearings to baseball dia-

monds, combat outposts to chil-

dren’s hospitals, the Legion has

something for everyone under its

four pillars of service:

Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation

National Security

Americanism

Children & Youth

With nearly 2.4 million members

and over 13,000 community posts.

The American Legion is truly a

grassroots organization, guided by

resolutions that spring from local

Legionnaires and are advanced to

the state and national levels. From

there, American Legion resolu-

tions help shape U.S. policy on

many fronts, including veterans

health care, national security, for-

eign affairs and the economy.

The American Legion brought into

existence the modern VA, the GI

Bill, and dozens of health-care

benefits. It helped build the Vi-

etnam Veterans Memorial and the

World War II Memorial in Wash-

ington, D.C. The legion is a na-

tional leader in military-to-civilian

transition assistance and home-

front support for our troops.

The American Legion is also fun.

The Legion Riders motorcycle

group raises millions of dollars to

help children, veterans and fami-

lies. Conventions, special events,

volunteer activities, welcome-

home dinners, concerts and holi-

day observances are among the

many other way Legionnaires

make service a pleasure.

In every state, as well as many cit-

ies and counties, American Legion

Service Officers help veterans file

benefits claims, get answers about

health care, understand their GI

Bill benefits, look for jobs and

more.

The American Legion raises

funds, collects merchandise and

delivers comfort items for U. S.

troops recovering in military hos-

pitals and transition units world-

wide.

The American Legion works with

the Department of Homeland Se-

curity at the national, state and

local levels to prepare for natural

disasters. In many communities,

American Legion posts serve as

civil-defense shelters and havens

of relief in the event of catastrophe

or attack on U.S. soil.

Membership in The American Le-

gion means discounts on a variety

of products and services. Member

discounts are available through

participating businesses in auto-

mobile rental, home services, fi-

nancial and insurance, medical,

moving and relocation, travel and

other industries. Members also

receive a free subscription to The

American Legion Magazine, the

largest veterans magazine in the

nation.

La Música del Sur de Tejas/The Music of South Texas

A dedication to South Texas Tejano Music Pioneers was

held on Sunday, October 14, 2012 at the Ben F. McDon-

ald Public Library in Corpus Christi, Texas. Keynote

Address was presented by Dr. Manuel Peña, Professor

Emeritus of Music-California State University, Fresno,

California. Some of those honored included:

Tony De La Rosa was a self-taught dynamic accordi-onist. His earliest memories of music were of his mother playing the harmonica on the family’s front porch. He introduced a unique sound that soon be-came a dance craze to conjunto music know as tacuachito or “possum.” (1931-2004)

Eligio R. Escobar was born in Ben Bolt, Texas. Guitarist and song writer, Escobar played and recorded with Conjunto Bernal, Chano Cadena, Ruben Naranjo, Isidro “Lefty” Lopez, Don Pedro Ayala and among others. Hit songs included “Frijolitos Pintos”, “Cuando Dos Al-mas”, and “El Gambler.” (1926-1994)

Freddy Fender was born in San Benito, Texas. Fender made his first radio appearance at the age of 10 on Harl-ingen’s KGBS-AM radio station KGBT. Fender is best known for his blues ballad “Wasted Days and Wasted Nights.” Fender’s single “Before the Next Tear Drop Falls” sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. (1937-2006)

Carmen and Laura Hernandez were born in Kings-ville, Texas, in 1921 and 1926 respectively. Their first single was “Se Me Fue Mi Amor.” They were also the first female duet to record in both Spanish and English. They also were the first Tejano act to introduce blues, swing and boleros into their reper-toire. Laura Hernandez (1926-2004)

Born into a musical family in Houston, Texas, Lydia Mendoza was best known for her mesmerizing voice and distinct guitar playing. She made over 1,200 recordings during her 60-year career span. Her most successful song was “Mal Hombre.” Men-doza was the First Lady of Tejano Music. (1916-2007)

“HOW WAS SCHOOL TODAY?” That’s a question you’re bound to ask often during the school year. As a parent, there’s much you can do to make sure that your child’s response is a positive one. Consid-er the following tips to help your child succeed at school.

Help make homework a habit. Set aside ample time for tackling homework, and create a perma-nent study spot-either in your child’s bedroom or another part of your home-that allows your child to concentrate. Be sure that the TV stays off during homework time. Also be available to answer questions and provide guidance-but never do your child’s home-work.

Boost brainpower with breakfast. Regular breakfast skipping is tied to lower school performance.

Breakfast helps provide fuel to learn.

Make sleep a priority. Kids who are chronically sleep deprived are more likely to have problems learning and paying attention and are at higher risk of being over-weight than their more rested classmates. School-age children generally need at least nine hours of shut-eye every night.

Be a positive force. Express inter-est and excitement about the school year. Encourage initiative and curiosity. Praise your child when he or she participates in school.

What you can do to help your child succeed in school

Salt does more than help food taste good. It’s an essential miner-al that helps keep the fluids in our bodies in balance.

But too much of it makes that bal-ance unstable. In fact, a diet high in sodium can lead to or worsen high blood pressure, stroke and kidney disease.

That’s why Americans should con-sume less sodium-no more than 2,300 milligrams per day, accord-ing to the U.S. Department of Ag-riculture. That’s about one tea-spoon of table salt.

Any many people-including those with hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease; adults 51 and older; and African Americans of any age-should consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of so-dium per day.

Most of the sodium in our diets comes from processed foods. It you buy processed foods-such as canned or convenience foods-look for these labels:

Sodium-free or salt-free –contains less than 5 milligrams of sodium per serving

Very low sodium-contains less than 35 milligrams per serving

Low sodium-contains less than 140 milligrams per serving

Reduced or less sodium-contains at least 25% less so-dium than the regular version

Unsalted-contains no salt

Shake up salt habits

Saint Andrew

Patron Saint of Fishermen

O Glorious Saint Andrew, you were the first to recognize and follow the Lamb of God. With your friend Saint John, you re-mained with Jesus for that first day, for your entire life, and now throughout eternity. As you led

your brother Saint Peter to Christ and many others after Him, draw us also to Him. Teach us to lead others to Christ solely out of love for “Him and dedication in His

service. Help us to learn the lesson of the cross and to carry our daily crosses without complaint so that

they may carry us to Jesus. Amen.

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will coun-sel you and watch over you.”-Psalm 32:8

“Be content with what you have, for God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.”-Hebrews 13:5,6

“Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”-Joshua 1:9

Inspirational Bible Quotes

Using Crystals To Heal Yourself

Crystal energy is the power that
