GREEN CORNER 

Tip of the Month - “Get to know your HVAC system” 

Summer is here, which means energy costs tend to rise (as temperatures 

climb!). Here are some energy saving tips from https://energy.gov. 

• LOWER your thermostat temperature in the winter 

and RAISE it in the summer: 

During the winter, you can save energy by setting your thermostat to 68 

degrees when you’re at home and awake and using lower settings when 

you’re away or asleep. This will help your furnace not to run continuously. 

In the summer, on the other hand, set your thermostat to 78 degrees if 

you can and use ceiling or portable fans. Fans move the air and make 

the room feel four to six degrees cooler and use much less energy than 

the air conditioner. Remember, setting your thermostat to a lower temperature 

than normal will not cool your home faster! 

• Choose the RIGHT thermostat: 

Choosing the right energy star qualified programmable thermostat can 

deliver savings without sacrificing comfort. A programmable thermostat 

helps your house to never get too cold or too hot. When properly 

programmed, these thermostats can save up to 15% in cooling costs. 

If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, don’t worry! You can 

manually adjust the temperature on your air conditioner to the recommended 

temperatures. 

• CLEAN or REPLACE your HVAC system’s air filter: 

Air filters remove dust and allergens from the air before returning it to 

your rooms through your A/C unit, so it is a critical component of the 

system. Unfortunately, they can often become clogged with dust and 

debris and eventually block the free flow of air, reducing the system’s 

efficiency. Remember that dirty filters are the number one reason most 

HVAC systems begin to operate inefficiently. 

A dirty air filter uses more energy than a new clean one, which means a 

higher electricity bill for you. By keeping your air filter clean and in good 

condition, it is estimated that you can save up to 15% on utility costs. It is 

recommended that you check your filter’s condition and change it once 

a month, especially if you run your unit six months a year to year-round, 

if you have pets or if you have a large family. More activity means more 

household dust, dirt and debris. 

• INSPECT your HVAC system: 

Make sure you service your unit at least once a year and head off costly 

problems. This sort of evaluation is best left to the professional, unless 

the homeowner has had the appropriate training. A furnace/HVAC unit 

contains moving parts so it is important that belts are not cracked, 

ventilation ductwork is not cracked or rusted and components, such as 

coils and fans are adequately lubricated. 

With a clean, inspected A/C system you will preserve energy, lowering 

your utility bills and cooling your home efficiently.

The Women Empowering Women Express 

Network (WEWEN) of the American Business 

Women’s Association (ABWA) is proud to 

announce its first annual winner The Woman

the Federation of Houston Business Women, 

an umbrella organization of over a dozen

the formation chair and sponsor to ABWA’s newest student chapter called 

the University Park Express Network (UPEN). She also gives immensely to the 

community. Touched by the needs of the thousands of displaced workers 

that were affected with layoffs due to the retirement of the Space Shuttle 

program, she initiated and customized continuing education programs bringing 

in leaders from various industries and creating a partnership with Mayor 

Annise Parker’s office. She actively serves on 6 boards and 10 committees. 

Some highlights of her volunteer service include, American Latino Center 

for Education Research & Justice - Advisory Chair, Federation of Houston 

Professional Women Education Foundation - Corresponding Secretary, Klein 

ISD Business & Marketing Education - Advisory Committee and Theatre Under 

the Stars - Advisory Committee. 

HEALTHY INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTIONS

1 Tb of liquid vegetable oil 

• Instead of heavy cream (1 cup): 1 cup evaporated skim milk or 

1/2 cup low-fat yogurt + 1/2 cup plain low-fat unsalted cottage cheese 

• Instead of sour cream: low-fat unsalted cottage cheese + 

low-fat/fat-free yogurt or use fat-free sour cream 

• Instead of cream cheese: 4 Tb soft margarine blended with 

1 cup dry, unsalted low-fat cottage cheese

Smart-Substitutions-to-Eat-Healthy 

OATMEAL: ONE FOOD, MANY BENEFITS 

Oatmeal is a power food as it delivers both a bang for your buck and 

numerous health benefits. During the summer months, crispy, cool 

corn flakes may sound like a better choice vs. a hot bowl of oatmeal, 

but read on. You’ll be glad to make the switch: 

1. Oats contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fibers help 

lower cholesterol and stabilize blood glucose levels. The insoluble fiber 

in oats provide a “moving” experience by curtailing constipation and 

improving intestinal health. 

2. Oats make an easy, balanced breakfast. One cup of cooked oatmeal 

(1/2 cup of uncooked) contains about 150 calories, four grams of fiber 

(about half soluble and half insoluble) and six grams of protein. To 

boost protein further, my favorite way to eat oatmeal is with a swirl of 

almond butter nestled within. This powerful combo will keep you away 

from that mid-morning visit to the vending machine.

3. Oats provide important minerals. Nutrient-rich oatmeal contains 

thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, selenium and iron. 

4. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but check with manufacturers to ensure 

that their products are not made using the same equipment as other 

potentially contaminating grains. 

5. Oats could help you control your weight by keeping you feeling fuller 

longer. Choosing whole grains could squash hunger and simultaneously 

provide that pleasant full feeling. NOTE: monitor portion sizes.

CA DRAMA DEPARTMENT PRESENTS A NIGHT OF MELODRAMA! 

The CA Players performed “The Last One Seen at the Scene of the Crime” a 

melodrama, comedy and western all rolled into one play. The evening was 

enjoyed by audience members of all ages and the cast and crew received 

a standing ovation. The wild success of the play was due in no small part 

to the long hours of practice by the students and the tireless encouragement 

and direction of the CA drama instructors Mrs. Nathalie Carr and 

Mr. Brian Carr. Both Mr. and Mrs. Carr graduated with a degree in Fine Arts 

from Southwest Texas State University and Mr. Carr is a successful actor 

who can currently be seen in commercials for Academy Sports and more. 

Congratulations to the entire Covenant Academy Drama department.

BEAT THE HEAT 

There’s a lot to do when the weather is right: family picnics, working 

on your tan at the beach, a homerun derby on the softball field, endless 

hours on the golf course or lounging in your backyard hammock. 

Unfortunately, too much fun in the sun can be dangerous. Excessive 

heat exposure can cause dehydration, which in turn can cause dangerous 

conditions like heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke 

(also called sunstroke). 

No matter what your plans are this summer, you won’t want to miss 

any of them. Combating the toll of the heat and sun on your body will 

keep you healthy and active all summer long. Try a few of these simple 

precautions, and you’ll still be going strong as the leaves start to turn. 

WHAT TO WEAR 

The way you dress can go a long way towards keeping you comfortable 

when you’re outside in the heat. Make sure you bring: 

Light-Colored Clothes 

The white linen shirt every male movie star wears on the beach isn’t 

just fashionably conscious; it’s also intelligent for hot, sunny days. 

Dark clothing absorbs more heat and tight clothes don’t let sweat - 

your body’s natural cooling system - evaporate. 

Sunglasses 

Sunglasses are chic and functional. They prevent harmful ultraviolet 

(UV) rays from scorching your corneas and protect your eyes for 

many more summers to come. Choose sunglasses that block 90 to 

100 percent of UV rays. 

Hats 

Unlike 8-inch high heels at the beach, a hat is smart summer fashion. 

Throwing on a wide-brimmed hat prevents UV rays from hitting the 

sensitive spots on your face and keeps your skin looking young and 

wrinkle-free. 

Sunscreen 

Nothing knocks good days off a summer calendar like a nasty sunburn. 

When outdoors, use sunscreen with an SPF rating of at least 

15. Use a higher-rated, waterproof sunscreen if you’ll be poolside or 

out on the beach. Don’t forget to cover areas that burn easily: nose, 

ears, shoulders and back of the neck. 

Lip Balm 

Just like sunscreen protects the rest of your skin, a lip balm with 

SPF protection blocks out the sun and keeps in moisture for your 

lips. Perfect for a day on the lake or while you’re working on that 

summer romance. 

HOW TO STAY HYDRATED 

The heat makes you sweat, which cools you down, but that also 

means you’re constantly losing fluid. Here’s how to stay hydrated: 

Water 

Don’t wait until you’re thirsty! Drink water throughout the day to 

prevent dehydration or over exhaustion. Use the color of your urine 

to guide if you’re hydrated enough - the clearer the better. 

Juice 

All natural juice without added sugar not only provides hydration but 

also important nutrients to keep you active in hot weather. Check 

the label on the juice bottle and make sure it says “100 percent juice 

with no sugar added.” 

Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine 

While an ice cold cocktail - 

complete with a little paper 

umbrella - might sound good 

on the beach, it won’t be 

as refreshing to your body. 

That’s because alcohol only 

dehydrates you more. If you 

can’t barbecue without a 

brew, drink a bottle of water 

between each alcoholic beverage 

to stay hydrated. 

Like alcohol, caffeine sucks 

the moisture out of you. On 

hot days, avoid it as much 

as possible, especially when 

combined with alcohol. 

WHAT TO EAT 

The food you eat can also help 

you stay cool. Try adjusting 

your diet so that it includes: 

Fruits and Vegetables 

Fruits and vegetables are easy 

to digest and often high in 

water content. Salads and other dishes rich in seasonal produce will 

keep you feeling light and hydrated. 

Spicy Foods 

Popular in warm climates, the tingling feeling and accompanying 

sweat caused by spicy foods has a purpose; the sweat actually cools 

your body down. 

Low-Fat Meats 

Fat takes longer for your body to digest and carries a higher salt 

content, which can add extra strain on your body when you need it 

maximized for efficiency. 

WHEN TO STAY OUT OF THE SUN 

Avoid peak hours of sunlight when the temperatures and UV rays are 

at their highest, normally between 10 AM and 2 PM. That’s the best 

time to head inside, get food and water, let your body cool down and 

maybe even take a nap. 

When heat and humidity are at their highest, it’s never a bad time 

to take a break. Water sports are especially tricky because you can 

easily become overheated without realizing it. When in doubt, take 

a breather. 

WHERE TO HIDE 

If you live in an area where summer heat can become dangerous, pay 

close attention to any heat-related warnings. When it’s dangerous, 

stay inside with the A/C or fan going. If it’s not cool enough at home, 

find a cooling station, usually set up at public libraries and other 

buildings. 

If you must be outside, keep your activities close to a shady spot. It 

can provide enough of a cool down to keep you safe. Even a small 

drop in temperature can make a big difference. 

When it’s hot and you’re active, stay close to restaurants, convenience 

stores or any other place that can offer cold temperatures and beverages 

should you need them in an emergency. If you’re at the beach 

or pool, the cool water offers great relief from the heat.

I FOUND A BABY SQUIRREL, NOW WHAT? 

By Cheryl Conley, TWRC Wildlife Center 

If you find a baby squirrel, check for the following: 

• Is it bleeding, have an open wound or a broken bone? 

• Is it covered in fly eggs (they look like grains of rice)? 

• Is it cold, wet or crying? 

If the answer is YES to any of the above, the squirrel is likely injured. 

Bring it to us as soon as possible. If NO, the next step is to determine 

its approximate age to see if you need to intervene. 

Does the squirrel have a fluffed-out tail (like a bottle brush)? 

Is the body longer than 6” (not including the tail)? 

If the answer is YES to these questions, this is likely a juvenile squirrel. 

You do not need to intervene. Even at the young age of 10 to 12 weeks, 

the squirrel is already independent and on its own. If NO, this is an 

infant squirrel. You will need to help reunite the baby with its mother. 

Baby squirrels at this age must be kept warm. Heat a towel in the microwave 

or place uncooked rice or bird seed in a sock and warm in the 

microwave for 20-30 seconds. Wrap the sock in a soft towel and place it 

with the baby in an open container like a small box or plastic container. 

Place the box IN A SAFE PLACE OFF THE GROUND near where you found 

the baby or under the tree with the nest if you know which tree it is. You 

can also attach the container directly to the tree but MAKE SURE IT IS 

SECURE. Keep children, dogs and cats out of the area. 

Observe the baby squirrel for the next six to eight hours of daylight. 

Reheat the towel or rice/birdseed bag every two hours. Has the mother 

returned to retrieve her baby? 

If YES ... congratulations! If NO, bring the box with the baby inside. 

Continue to keep it warm until you can bring it to us. 

REMEMBER: DO NOT ATTEMPT 

TO FEED THE SQUIRREL 

OR GIVE IT WATER!

EVERY MOMENT COUNTS WHEN TREATING A STROKE 

According to the American Stroke Association 

(ASA), stroke is the 5 th leading cause of 

death and a leading cause of adult disability 

in the United States. On average, someone 

in the U.S. suffers a stroke every 40 seconds, 

someone dies of a stroke every four minutes 

and nearly 800,000 people suffer a new or 

recurrent stroke each year. 

The ASA uses the acronym FAST to help people 

remember the signs of stroke. 

• Face Drooping 

• Arm Weakness 

• Speech Difficulty • Time to Call 911 

If you’re the one having the stroke, you may not see the symptoms. 

That’s why it’s important that everyone know the signs so that they can 

recognize the symptoms in others and call for help.

GARDENING TIPS FOR JULY 

• Plant fall flowering annuals where your spring annuals have 

bloomed out. Set our seeds like zinnia, marigold, cosmos, 

petunia and portulaca so you’ll have color until frost. Don’t let 

seedlings dry out. 

• In summer, prune roses to keep them in shape. Continue 

black spot and insect treatments. Water 2” once per week. 

• Remove spent crepe myrtle flowers to prolong bloom 

production. 

• Weeds rob plants of valuable water, nutrients--remove them. 

• Great sun/heat-lovers include coral honeysuckle, coreopsis, 

lantana, oleanders and hamelia. 

• Fertilize flowers lightly, if at all; too hot for heavy feedings. 

• Water your lawn longer but less frequent. Deep water of 

about 2 - 3” per week forces plant roots to grow down, instead 

of sideways into sunbaked upper soil levels. Use a bowl in 

your yard to measure during waterings.
