It sits on 13.1 acres in the gated community of Sierra La Rana, just a few miles south of the West Texas town of Alpine and is surrounded by incredible views of high desert mountains. Constructed by Alpine Green Energy, using a Structural Insulated Panel building system, the house is expected to use 50% of the energy of a conventional home. The laminated building panels consist of inner and outer skins of 3’8’ OSB and cores of super insulating expanded polystrene glued together with high strength glue and dried under extreme pressure. They have amazing strength, durability, and thermal efficiency – and outperform nearly every other construction method used today. The home’s windows are LowE which let in the Texas sunlight, but keep energy costs down. This 1,700 square foot home is full of special touches. It has an openplan living/dining/kitchen area perfect for a family center and parties. The living room has a true wood-burning fireplace and large windows to take in the sweeping mountain views. Granite counters, custom cabinetry, and enough workspace for the most creative chef fill the kitchen. The bedrooms are spacious with ceiling fans and nicely designed closets with built-in storage. The master bath has a full walk-in shower, and a Jacuzzi tub is found in the second bath. Italian porcelain tile covers the living area, hallways, and bathrooms, with luxurious carpeting in the bedrooms. Two covered porches – one facing east, the other facing west – provide a place to sit and relax any time of the day. Gil Bartee, Vice President of Development for Sierra La Rana, is excited to have Tom Clark and Alpine Green Energy build this energy efficient home in Sierra La Rana. Come on out and see it. Through their Builder Program, Sierra La Rana actively seeks builders who would like to build homes in the community. The costs of the lots are deferred until the house is sold, which allows builders to build here at minimal risk.

(432) 386 4516 Summer Heat Arrives in West Texas Gardens We have been most fortunate this year to have a mild June and July. However, August arrived with the heat, and it’s time to change your lawn and garden habits. Sarita Hernandez of Persimmon Gap Landscape Company in Marathon, Texas, suggests plenty of water – but not too much! “It is so easy to over water your lawn,” says Sarita. “You want water only as much to moisten one to one and a half inches of soil. Extreme moisture will encourage fungus growth in your grass.” She also suggests to water your lawn either early morning or late at night, and to avoid the heat of the day (from 3 pm to 6 pm) because it also will create a fungal environment as well as cooking your grass as the water droplets magnify the heat of the sun. Trees, however, need a little deeper watering. “Many make the mistake of watering at the base of a tree, but that misses the root tips that absorb the water. They are located at the ‘drip line’ – at the ends of the branches. So step out to the furthest limb of the tree, and that is where your root system absorbs the water – and where to water,” suggests Sarita. Believe it or not, this is the perfect time to start preparing for winter. Start looking now at what will need to be pruned. Check your highline wires and which trees are in the highline. Hire a professional tree trimmer to properly trim your trees – both for aesthetic appeal and for the health of the tree. Sarita says, “If the power company clears your trees from the highline, they are more likely to chop your tree in half, making it unattractive or downright ugly.” RV Park Bugs abound this summer – elm leaf beetles, aphids, gnats, grasshoppers, and bores – just & Quik Mart Nestled at the base of to name a few! Seven Dust is a safe, over-the-counter application that comes either as a Sul Ross Mountain & dust or a bottle that can be attached to the end of your hose. It is a safe pesticide because it Gateway to Big Bend rests on the surface of the plant rather than systemic (absorbed by the plant). Make sure if you spray your vegetables or herbs that you thoroughly wash them before eating! For those 2303 E Hwy 90 • Alpine pesky grasshoppers, an old home remedy is to sprinkle flour in your yard or garden. The (432) 837-5497 grasshoppers will eat the flour which expands in their system and kills them. Have special needs or questions?

A L A M I T O . n e t Shiner B o ck – I t’ s N o t J u s t F o r D r i n k i n g ! Fermented beverages have been a part of daily life since the dawn of man. Today beer is one of the most widely consumed alcoholic beverages, with Shiner Bock one of Texas’ jewels. Few, however, think about the versatility of this malted nectar – from entertainment to health to beauty – and yes, even to cooking! So in exploring beer in recipes, I went to Alpine’s local brewmeister, Harry Mois. Harry hails from Germany, considered the Mecca of beer. In 1998, he traveled extensively to find a climate that was better for his health. By serendipity he arrived in Alpine in 1999, and after staying here the full ninety days allowed by his visitor visa, he decided this was to be his new home. He returned to Germany long enough to complete the paperwork for a work visa and was back in Alpine ten days later. After working several restaurant jobs in Alpine and in a brewery in Colorado to earn his green card, Harry opened the Edelweiss Restaurant and Brewery in 2005. Harry still oversees the brewing at the Edelweiss and has opened his own bar – Harry’s Tinaja on Holland Ave. Harry’s Tinaja is a warm, friendly, neighborhood bar where customers come to drink from a selection of four beers on draft, thirty choices of bottled beer, and a nice selection of nonalcoholic beverages.
