Warren managed to get two
teams together last year and
raised funds for the cause.
This year, Warren wanted to
do even more and Bland gave
her the green light.
“I think my wife dying of
cancer and the people in her
family having cancer made this
something very personal for
her,” Bland said. “Sara came to
me before church one Sunday
and said anyone could put a

church to be a sponsor. I really
didn’t think she could raise that
much money. But she did it.”

Salas said many Baytown

after high school, but Gallardo
is an exception because he

anyone wanting to join the
police department.
“Police work is para-mili-

Q; What do I look lor when wledlng a mortgage lendtr?
A There are four important issues to look for when choosing a lender:
I Cost of the loan ■ The easiest way to shop for a loan is to com-
pare interest rates. Also check on discount points arid other fees.
Types of loans offered ■ The originator will help you choose the right
type of loan for you. This is most critical if you have some
H unusual limitations.
F Quality of service - A lender should offer prompt pro-
_ oH cessing of your application without delays and with ade-
“ quate communication to prevent delays.
t ** Convenience • Communicating easily with the lender is
Important, especially in the application stage. You should
feel comfortable asking questions that help you decide if
you want to do business with that lender.

Q. I have l*4t my pool unattended all winter. Naw If leaks like
, Hie creature from Hie black lagoon could emerge from If.
I How can I clear It up to the beauHful blue It was last year?
Ao These a-e a few steps to follow that should restore your pool to its orlgi-
■ nal beauty.
I .1, Remove all debris from the bottom even though you cannot see through
the murky water. Evenly drag the bottom with a deep net or "leaf eater".
2. Clean your filter thoroughly with a chemical cleaner. Make sure that the
filter and pump are In good operating condition. (No torn grids If you have
a dlmataceaous earth filter, new cartridge if you have a cartridge filter and
I possibly add new sand if you have a sand filter).
, 3. Empty skimmer and pump baskets, replace if they have
4BMk spins or holes
■ 4 Add a flocculant to pull all the debris to the bottom. You win
need to let the pool sit undisturbed for about 48 hours, then
slowly vacuum the remaining debris.
5. Turn the pump on and continuously filter until clear. This ,
may lake several days.
: 6. With pump turned on, Immediately add 3-4 times you nor-
mal.shook dosage, normal amount of chlorine sticks or pucks
and an Initial dose of algaecide,Depending on the severity of
the. problem, other chemicals may be heeded.
7. When the water begins to clear up take a water sample to
our store to have the water analyzed so that, the proper chem-
. leal balance can be restored and the calcifying process: can
be completed. fDUCD

Q: How do you choose a nursing home?
A, Findings nursing home that provides the right services for you in a pleasant, com-
, fortable atmosphere often requires research: Once you have decided that a nursing
home is the right choice for you, It is time to gather information about the nursing
homes in your area.
A good first step In this process Is finding out exactly how many nursing
homes there are In your area. Visit each nursing home and meet the
radministrator and department directors In the facility. In addition to visit-
b JHk. ins ’h® horsing homes, some other resources that you should consult
I *■ before selec,*n9a nursing heme are: hospital discharge planners or social
' -J workers, Pbyefcfens who serve the elderly, clergy and religious organIza-
jfc lions, volunteer groups that work with the elderly and chronically 111. If you
Fbdflv: will be using medicare or medicaid, make certain that the nursing homes
*' JT ' on your list accept Medicare or Medicaid payment. If you require care for
' ' - special medical condition or dementia, make sure that the nursing homes
. on your list are capable of meeting these special circumstances.

brute strength until it points to where we wish the North Star stood,
rather than to where it really is,”
