June 30, 2010 Hill Country Herald Page 9
Updated June 25, 2010 The Texas economy, the world’s 11th-largest, continues to fare better than those of many other states. But Texas felt the effects of the worldwide recession during 2009. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the U.S. economy peaked in December 2007 and entered recession. The Texas economy continued to grow through most of 2008, with employment peaking in August that year, then Texas joined the nation in losing jobs. During 2009, Texas’ gross state product (GSP) declined more slowly than the U.S. economy (-1.7 percent versus -2.5 percent.) Despite the state’s economy contracting in 2009, Texas’ relative economic advantage should continue as the state and U.S. economies turn around and expand again in 2010. Although job growth will continue to lag the renewed expansion of economic production, the Comptroller’s office estimates that the Texas’ GSP will grow by 2.6 percent during calendar 2010. The U.S. economy should grow at a slower rate of 2.0 percent during the year.
Jobs • Texas’ May 2010
unemployment rate was 8.3 percent, same as the previous month. The May U.S. rate was 9.7 percent, 0.3 percent higher than the previous month.
• Total nonfarm employment in Texas increased by 43,600 jobs in May, 0.4 percent more than the previous month.
• May was the fifth consecutive
month of gains for the U.S. The U.S. gained 431,000 jobs in May 2010, the biggest monthly gain in jobs since March 2006. However, 411,000 of the new jobs were temporary jobs for the 2010 Census, and the U.S. lost 585,000 jobs from May 2009 to May 2010.
• The Texas unemployment rate has been at or below the national rate for 41 consecutive months.
Housing• Thus far, Texas has weathered
the national real estate crunch without significant damage to property values but sales and construction activity have slowed. Despite its continuing resiliency, Texas is not immune from the national real estate crunch.
• A total of 6,474 building permits for single-family homes were issued in April 2010, 1,096 permits more than during April 2009. This is the sixth consecutive month that permits have been higher than the same month in the previous year. The total number of permits in the 12 months ending in March 2010 was 70,010, an increase of 10 percent from the previous 12-month period.
• Multi-family building permits are down, from 2,095 units in April 2009 to 1,276 units in April 2010. The number of permits issued in the 12 months ending in April 2010 was 12,787 a decrease of 66 percent from the period one year earlier.
• Sales of existing single-family homes increased by 4.4 percent in May 2010
over the previous month, to a total of 22,504. Home sales increased 18.2 percent compared to May 2009.
• In Texas, the median price for existing single-family homes decreased by 0.3 percent from May 2009 to May 2010.
• Texas experienced 11,137 foreclosure filings in May 2010. For most of calendar 2008 the number of Texas foreclosures declined, in contrast to the sharp increases in many other states that began in late 2006 and early 2007. Since Texas entered the recent recession in late 2008, the number of monthly foreclosures has been trending upward. But the recent jump in Texas foreclosures is in line with the levels experienced prior to 2008.
• In May 2010, the Texas foreclosure rate was one in every 862 mortgages. This was substantially better than Nevada’s one in 79, Arizona’s one in 169, Florida’s one in 174, and California’s one in 186.
Consumer Confidence Index
• U.S. consumer confidence rose by 5.6 points from April to May 2010, and still remains pessimistic at a level of 63.3, almost 36.7 percent below its 1985 baseline level. Even so, nationwide consumer confidence has rebounded from its recent low in February 2009, and now stands 15.5 percent higher than its level a year ago.
• The Texas region’s consumer confidence index increased
from 70.7 in April to 78.6 in May 2010, and is now up 6.9 percent from its level a year ago. In all, the Texas regional index is down 21.4 percent from its 1985 baseline.
Oil and Natural Gas• The all-time high crude oil
closing price was $145.29 on July 3, 2008, which preceded a 7-month decline to a low point of $33.98 in February 2009.
• Crude oil futures closed at $76.51 per barrel on June 24, 2010; that’s 11 percent higher than one year ago.
• Natural gas and oil production tax collections combined are 32% lower for the first nine months of fiscal year 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009.
• By contrast, in fiscal 2009 production tax collections for natural gas were down 48 percent over fiscal 2008. Tax collections for oil were down 39 percent.
• Natural gas and oil production tax collections combined are 40% lower for the first eight months of fiscal year 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009.
Taxes• Texas sales tax receipts for
May 2010 were 0.1 percent higher than for May 2009.
• For fiscal 2009, state sales tax receipts are down 2.7 percent from fiscal 2008.
• Motor vehicle sales tax collections for fiscal 2009 were $2.569 billion, down 22.5 percent over fiscal 2008 amount.
• The nationwide core transaction price for a new car or truck during the first
15 days of May 2010 rose 11.29 percent to $26,162 from $23,509 in the first 15 days of May 2009.
• For the first 15 days of May 2010, total national industry auto sales were 553,559 units, up 18.9 percent compared to first 15 days of May 2009.
• Nationally, the lease share of new vehicle purchases in May 2010 increased to 24.5 percent of new vehicle purchases; that’s 12.4 percent higher than in May 2009.
Stimulus Package• In Texas, an estimated $18
billion in federal stimulus money is flowing to state and local governments. The Comptroller’s office is tracking the $14.3 billion that comes through the state Treasury. The Comptroller’s analysis is ongoing.
Cap and Trade• Efforts to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions could negatively impact the Texas economy. The state could see 173,000 to 425,000 fewer jobs than expected in 2030 as a result of increased energy prices from the cap and trade portion of the recently proposed bill. The resulting decline in gross state product is estimated to be between $25 billion and $58 billion.
• The Comptroller’s office is continuing to analyze potential implications and assess how green jobs and energy efficiency programs in the proposals could offset negative impacts.

A major axiom of business dictates that success can be found by making something better. But you wouldn’t have to tell that to West Texas dairyman Donald De Jong.De Jong is a member of Select Milk Producers, Inc., a co-op of 71 producers split between
Texas and New Mexico that has been together since 1994.The group currently produces Mootopia, the H-E-B signature brand of milk that is high-protein, low-sugar and lactose-free.Building on the success of Mootopia, De Jong and his Select Milk partners have developed a new product, made for athletes, that builds on an old favorite. Their latest creation, Athletes Honey Milk, is just that. After hearing him speak, one gets the idea that
De Jong is on to something big. Very big.“Athletes wanted more protein in their recovery drinks,” De Jong says. “When you consider that Athletes HoneyMilk includes more protein, but doesn’t contain the lactose and other sugars found in milk, it’s really an ideal product for athletes.”Honey contains the natural fruit sugars glucose and fructose. Glucose is absorbed quickly into the body and provides a more immediate energy boost.
Fructose, on the other hand, is absorbed slowly, providing sustained energy.De Jong and his group have been promoting the product at events all over the state, including San Antonio’s Rock and Roll Marathon last November. The product astounded many runners there.“They taste the product, and their first response is they can’t believe that this is a recovery drink,” De Jong says. “Athletes HoneyMilk is a great-tasting milk with no other additives.
It’s a very natural product, which is a big advantage, especially for runners, who for obvious reasons are very conscious about what they eat and drink.”In the next few weeks, Athletes HoneyMilk will splash across Texas, appearing in H-E-B and Wal-Mart.The producers will launch with five flavors of Athletes Honey Milk: Honey, Vanilla, Açai-Pom, Chocolate Light and Coffee Light

Tanya and Robert Sollers are happy to announce the birth of their daughter, Halie Lynn Sollers. Halie was born Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 5:25 am at University Hospital in San Antonio. She weighed 2 pounds, 6 ounces and measured 15 3/4 inches long. Big sisters Kyrie and Stephanie welcome her into the family. Maternal grandparents are Leslie and Cynthia Edgington of Leakey. Paternal grandparents are Richard and Sherri Sollers of Leakey. Great-grandparents are Darrell and Myra Buchanan of Leakey, and Peggy Beckett of Corpus Christi, Texas. Halie is still at the hospital and doing really well and everyone is anxiously
waiting for her arrival home.
At the home of Rudolfo and Lupe Valdez in Sabinal, a family gathering of about 100 members was held last weekend. The family gathered from Austin, Devine, Gonzales, Hondo, Houston, Knippa, New Braunfels, Uvalde, Seguin, Sabinal, San Antonio and various points in the Texas Valley. Some members came from as far away as Ontario Canada and Whittier California. Their purpose was to remember their patriarch, Rodolfo and matriarch, Maria Valdez. They were the parents of six brothers, Lencho of San Antonio, Reynaldo of Uvalde, Rodolfo Reyes Jr. of Gonzales, Carlos of Sabinal and Manuel of Houston. Two sisters, Florinda of Seguin and Rebecca of Knippa. Their mother died young but their father passed away only five years ago. They dedicated the family reunion to his memory. DJ Lee from Hondo provided entertainment. The next morning the family gathered at the home of Carlos Valdez for breakfast before saying their goodbyes.

LOUD NOISES AND FEARFUL DOGS
Thunderstorms are frequent in our area this time of year. Fireworks can be a real problem time with July 4th and New Year’s. Hunting season is another time. Many dogs react to the booms of storms, the popping of firecrackers and gunshots. These dogs react naturally and their nature is to FLEE. The HSRC receives many calls from folks who have lost their dogs under these circumstances. Here are some tips to help prevent problems during these times:
AN IMPORTANT DON’T FOR PET LOVERS: DON’T give your pet attention during a frightening episode. When you try to comfort your dog with petting and attention, you actually encourage the behavior and increase the anxiety.
DO: BE PREPARED IN ADVANCE
Provide a cozily lit area for your pet to stay in. (A kennel in the bathroom with the lights ON).
Turn up the radio or put on the TV to mask loud noises.
Try cotton in the dogs’ ears to help muffle the sound.
Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) recommends exercise as a natural sedative, get them tired and naturally calm. You can use a treadmill to do this if there is no time for a walk.
Try aromatherapy using scents like lavender which can be soothing to fearful dogs.
Pheromone Plug-In - Many dog owners have seen a remarkable improvement in their dog’s anxiety with a relatively new product, the Comfort Zone Plug-In. Inserted
in any wall outlet, and odorless to humans, it releases Dog Appeasing Pheromones (D.A.P) in the air throughout the entire room. Mimicking a new mother’s natural pheromones, it reduces and prevents stress-related behaviors such as barking, whining, chewing, and soiling.
Products such as valerian and chamomile Ultra-Calm® Treats and Rescue Remedy have been used with some success. These two therapies take effect within an hour of administration, and should be given prior to the fear-producing event.
If you have tried all these solutions and nothing works, do your research, there are many ideas and suggestions online, and many sites you can obtain non-prescription calming medication. In extreme cases call your vet and get a prescription for an anxiety medication. These medications are not terribly expensive and can be used only at the most fearful times.
Let us know what has worked best for you!
