EDITOR’S NOTE
Bill Skinner
bill@viewmagazineinc.com
Editor in Chief
My family and I recently watched the movie The
Letter Writer by Christian Vuissa (2011). It’s a story
about Sam, an elderly man in a nursing home, who
writes letters of encouragement to people he chooses
from the phone book. Although Sam doesn’t know
the people to whom he sends these letters, his words
uncannily speak to each person’s specific need. The
main character in the movie, Maggie, a high school
student, receives one of Sam’s letters at a time
when her relationships at home and at school are
falling apart. In the midst of this turmoil, Sam’s letter
of encouragement gives her renewed hope about
her value as a person and her importance to those
around her.
As we ponder what to get that special person this Valentine’s Day, let
us not forget the value of a handwritten letter or note. Who knows? That
message could be just the thing to start a new friendship or undergird an
existing one. That’s what happened, in fact, when Marian, a Georgetown
resident, received an unexpected letter from her high school crush,
Bradley, whom she didn’t even think knew she existed. (See “Valentine’s
Day Sweethearts,” page 22) “Maybe we can go out sometime,” he wrote.
That letter was the beginning of a long friendship and a marriage that
has lasted 34 years. Ah, the power of a letter, simply written, straight
from the heart! That’s how I often think of Georgetown View Magazine—
as a journal of letters and notes chronicling our long-term friendship,
from all of us at the View to all of you.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Dentist office pays kids for candy
By
E
verybody knows the
famous saying: “It’s
like taking candy from
a baby.” A simple task,
Photos by
right? Well, try taking it
Tina Lopez from an elementary-aged kid at
Halloween time. It requires either
force, a miracle, or, as Adrian
Gonzalez found out, one dollar
per pound.
Adrian is the office manager of
Star Smiles Pediatric Dentistry,
which collected 720 pounds of
candy this past fall for Operation
Cash for Candy. The program, a
local chapter of a national program titled Operation Gratitude
(organized by the National Guard),
lets children drop off leftover
Star Smiles Halloween candy at the dentist
Pediatric Dentistry office and gives the kids one dol512-864-9595 lar per pound of candy donated.
Jon
Fortenbury

The candy then gets mailed out to
military troops abroad.
On top of donating candy, the
kids also write letters to the troops
and send fun photos, which are
taken in a photo booth at Star
Smiles.
“This lets the troops know that
even kids understand, to a degree,
why they’re over there and that
they are thankful,” said Adrian,
who’s in charge of marketing
for the program. “For some kids,
there’s nothing better than a bag
of candy, and they’re willing to
give that to soldiers overseas who
can’t be home for the holiday.”
This past year, the office not
only collected twice as much
candy as the year before but also
got four Georgetown elementary
schools involved, up from one
in 2011. The schools (Mitchell,
Pickett, Cooper and Village) asked
students to donate their leftover
candy and used the money to invest in things like balls for recess
and educational resources. Some
of the schools even provided further incentives for donating with
competitions. Winners enjoyed
popcorn and Popsicle parties.
The program has other perks,
too. For one, the kids inevitably eat less candy—much better
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
for their health. And the candy
doesn’t end up in landfills. “Most
of that candy would be thrown
away,” Adrian said. “So this way
it’s not wasted and sent to someone who is more likely to eat it.”
Operation Cash for Candy was
no overnight success, however.
Star Smiles Pediatric Dentistry was
the first dentist office in Georgetown to take advantage of the
national program four years ago.
The program has enjoyed steady
growth ever since. Adrian has promoted the program many times at
elementary schools, putting up flyers and posters around town, and
spending lots on shipping. But this
year, a UPS store in downtown
Georgetown offered to help. “They
didn’t make any profit on shipping,
just charged what it cost them to
do it,” Adrian said.
The dentist office starts collecting a few days after Halloween,
to allow kids to enjoy some of
their candy first, and ships out the
candy to troops later in November.
Next year, the goal is to get all
elementary schools to participate.
“It’s just something from people
here, so troops know people support them and are behind them
and thankful for what they’re doing,” Adrian said. 

hat day in 2005 began
like any other for Marian Cockrum. She woke
up, ate breakfast, and
went to work as a registered nurse at the GISD Ninth

“I was feeling really run down

major symptoms.” She attributed
the feeling to allergies or perhaps
a common cold; but, just to be
sure, Marion decided to visit Dr.
Bohmfalk, her primary care physician, during her lunch break.
“When he told me the prognosis, I was shocked,” said Marian.
“I said, ‘It’s not heart! I’m not
having any pain! I’m not having
any symptoms.’”
Unlike men, who typically
experience shortness of breath,
chest pains, arm pain, nausea,
and sweating when suffering from
adverse heart conditions, Marian
still felt relatively healthy.
“Many times,” says Marian,
“women don’t have the same
symptoms as men. In fact, all I
knew was that I just wasn’t feeling well. I wasn’t having chest
pains or nausea or anything. No
chest pain, no arm pain. Nothing
that you would think would be
heart-related. Just a little SOB—
that’s shortness of breath,” says
Marian, smiling. “It’s a medical
term.”
Marian scoffed at her doctor’s
prognosis but made phone calls
to her husband, mother, and a
few friends while she waited for
the results of her blood work. “‘He
thinks it’s heart!’ I told them. I just
couldn’t believe it.”
Soon, recalls Marian, Dr.
Bohmfalk returned. “‘Marian,’ he
told me, ‘you’re not going back
to work today. Your blood work
indicates you’re having a heart
attack.’”
Suddenly, the day shifted.
By noon that day, Marian was
in an ambulance being rushed
to Austin Heart—now the Heart
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
Hospital of Austin—for an angiogram, and the next morning
she underwent quadruple bypass
open-heart surgery.
“All that happened in less than
twenty-four hours,” she says.
Seven years later, Marian has
been doing well and without
incident. “These days I eat right,
exercise, and faithfully take my
meds. I’m not perfect, but I’ve
been given a second chance. And
I’ll keep telling my story to whomever I can tell. If it saves even one
person, I’ll have done my job.”
To men and women alike, Marian offers the following words of
wisdom: “Listen to your body. Talk
to your doctor. Know your family
history. And be aware that even
ambiguous symptoms like anxiety
or vague discomfort can be a sign
of something bigger.” 

Georgetown couple’s story began with a letter

M
arian Cockrum
barely knew her future husband when
they were both students, separated by
a year, in Georgetown’s 2A high
school. Bradley Cockrum was
a jock who played football and
baseball, and Marian marched in
the band. “He was a country boy.
I was a city girl. We really didn’t
have a lot in common.”
They did have mutual friends,
however. “All my friends knew
him and liked him. We used to
ride around Georgetown looking
for Bradley Cockrum at the old
Dairy Queen, where Dos Salsas
is now, and then we’d ride from
there to the park to Dairy Hill,
where Papa John’s is,” Marian
recalls.
“Back then we didn’t have
cell phones, so we used to ride
around, looking for people. That’s
what it’s called,” she says with
a smile, “‘ridin’ ’round.’ But we
never did find him.”
Bradley graduated from high
school and went to study agriculture business at Tarleton State
University while Marian was still a
senior at Williams, Georgetown’s
first high school.
Then one day, out of the blue,
she received a letter from Bradley.
“Maybe we can go out sometime,”
he wrote.
“I knew who he was, but we
didn’t really know each other
at the time,” says Marian, who
remembers thinking, “He’s got his
pick of the college girls! Why is he
writing me?”
Their first date was to the Little
River car races. “It’s like a country version of F1,” laughs Marian.
“No, I don’t think it even compares—Georgetown was so rural
back then!”
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
After their initial date, Marian
and Bradley went on dates each
time they came home from college. “We would meet at home
and go out, yet we had our own
separate lives when we were in
college,” says Marion. “I think that
it was very lucky that we didn’t
go to the same college. I probably would have gotten mad at
him!” she says, laughing. “But we
were one of those couples who
were really good friends for a long
time.”
On June 9th, 1979, a few
months after Marian graduated
from Mary Hardin Baylor, the
couple married.
“Later on,” Marion remembers,
“I asked him, ‘Why did you write
me that letter? You had all of
those college girls!’ And he goes,
‘Well, I knew you were somebody
really special.’” 

Fashion Forward
Airstream trailer brings fashion to Georgetown
E
lizabeth Lockhart,
owner of Southern Hippie and Baby Hippie,
defines “fashion forward” as knowing what
the trends are and how to wear
them. “I think it refers to being
ahead,” she adds. “I like being
ahead.”
But fashion was never supposed
to be her career. With a background as a chemical dependency
counselor and a child life specialist, Elizabeth admits her heart is
torn. Southern Hippie was never
meant to be more than a sideline
business, a hobby to satisfy her
passion for fashion, while she
worked at a fulfilling career. “I
loved working in social services. I
love children.”
But Southern Hippie took off
faster than Elizabeth could have
ever have imagined. “When I
originally started Southern Hippie,
I had a partner. We both have a
bohemian chic aesthetic.” Elizabeth describes “bohemian chic”
as a casual but easy style. Friends
and coworkers often commented
that, whether dressed for work
or for an event, Elizabeth always
looked fashionable.
Together, Elizabeth and her
business partner decided to buy
some key clothing pieces and
start throwing private parties.
“We spent $500 and held our
first event in Dallas,” Elizabeth
says. “We invited our girlfriends.
We served cocktails and hors
d’oeuvres and sold clothes.” Soon
they were setting appointments
and hosting
parties for
people they
didn’t know. “It
just happened
so fast!”
During this
time, Elizabeth
was working
on her master’s degree in
educational
psychology, and
she moved back
to the Georgetown area for
her graduate
practicum. She had rented space
in Georgetown (the former store
location) to use as an office and
a place to store inventory, but
before she completed her master’s degree, Southern Hippie had
turned into a “full-fledged, fulltime job.”
It was at this time that Elizabeth
bought out her partner’s share of
Southern Hippie. “We’re still really
good friends,” Elizabeth says, but
she admits the buyout was a 

scary step. “It was like
starting all over.”
Elizabeth’s first big
move was to buy a 1965
Airstream trailer. After a
lot of sweat, a lot of love,
and a lot of help from
her dad, Elizabeth had a
traveling store. “There’s
nothing inside but racks
for clothes and a single
dressing room,” she says.
The Southern Hippie
Airstream, “the first fashion Airstream
in the Austin area,” debuted last summer at an event at the W. With the
opening of the new store, Elizabeth has
cut back much of her travel to festivals
and events, but many people don’t
know that the Airstream also travels to
clients’ homes for private styling parties. “We usually make a cocktail, the
host provides hors d’oeuvres, and then
we bring out the clothing.”
A Southern Hippie party is different
from other fashion parties. “Women
are used to going to these events
where there’s just one jewelry line or
one clothing line, like at a Tupperware
party, but with Southern Hippie, we’re
bringing the best things from our store
directly to them.”
When it comes to purchasing store
merchandise, Elizabeth doesn’t have
a strict process. “I think it just takes
an eye,” she says. “If you work in the
fashion industry, I think you just know.

You have to know what people want.
You have to know what the trends are.”
Elizabeth doesn’t spend as much time
studying trends as people might believe.
“We buy a season to a season and a half
in advance. I’ve already bought a product before it’s been seen in a magazine
or on a celebrity.”
Elizabeth buys what grabs her attention. “I love fashion forward clothing
that is easy to throw together to create
a trendsetting outfit.”
For Baby Hippie, Elizabeth carries a
lot of bamboos and organics. “We have
everything you can possibly need to buy
for a baby shower gift,” she says. “Our
baby selection is very broad. It’s soft,
yet fashion-forward for
infant to toddler.” Elizabeth has a young niece,
and if she wouldn’t put her
niece in the clothes, she
won’t buy them for Baby
Hippie. Baby registry will
soon be available at Baby
Hippie, and the patio at
the Southern Hippie and
Baby Hippie store is also
available free of charge to
host baby showers.
Elizabeth’s mother,
Yvonne, is her partner in
Baby Hippie. And Mom is every bit as
beautiful and fashionable as her daughter. “I don’t want anyone to ever walk
into my store and think that there’s not
something in here for them,” Elizabeth
says, “because I’ve heard people say,
‘It’s a really young store’ and that’s just
not the case. I don’t want people to
think that.”
Southern Hippie has something for
everyone from the high school age girl
to the more mature woman. “I know
Southern Hippie is really different,”
Elizabeth says. “There’s nothing like it
in Georgetown, but I think that’s what’s
exciting about it. Georgetown needs
contemporary stores.”
Elizabeth wants customers to give the
store a chance, and in return she vows
to stay true to what Southern Hippie is,
to what she began. “Southern Hippie is
fashionable, it’s forward, it’s good quality, and I’m never going to deviate from
that.” 

Coming

India
F
Tricia Coburn travels
a new road
eel the heavy air, redolent with heat and unusual smells. Be mindful
of the crush of humanity
and zooming traffic. Try
to speak above the cacophony
of blaring horns and unfamiliar
languages. It’s a long way from
Georgetown to India, but Tricia
Coburn would not have wanted
to be anywhere else this past
summer. Her journey with eleven
youth and two other adults began
long before the group boarded the
plane, and Tricia came back with
insights and goals that opened
new paths for her day-to-day journey.
In 2011, a couple returned
home from their mission work
in India to speak to other members at Tricia’s church, Crestview
Baptist. As she listened to tales
of training teachers in remote villages, Tricia’s reaction was strong
and immediate. She wanted to
go. She surprised her husband,
who arrived late after a flat-tire
mishap, with the question, “How
do you feel about going to India?”
His reaction, equally immediate: “I
don’t want to go at all!”
For months, Tricia continued to
feel she was being called to India,
although her husband still wasn’t
sold on the idea. Around the same
time, Crestview’s youth minister,
Jordan Cobb, began planning a
mission group to volunteer at a
school for special-needs children.
Tricia’s daughter, Kayla, was very
excited about participating in this
project, so to support her, the
family attended a Mission 101
class once a week to pray, plan,
and exchange ideas with others
who wanted to learn how they
each “fit into the puzzle of God’s
plan”. At the time, they didn’t
know they’d wind up in India but
were committed to the teaching in 1 Peter 1:13 “Therefore
prepare your minds for action.”
Simultaneously, Tricia’s husband
received an inexplicable email,
offering a free book about . . .
India. The whispering chorus—India, INDIA—gained strength until
the Coburn family was completely
committed.
All the preparations had been
made, but as Tricia says, “Nothing could have truly prepared us
for those first few days” after they
arrived in New Delhi last summer.
After landing, the group, dressed
of course in the usual American
style, visited a market to buy
traditional clothing for the girls:
kurtas (tunics) and dupatas (long
scarves). Tricia described the
shopping experience as “shocking, overwhelming because of
more people than I ever imagined,
lack of personal space, vibrant 

with color; there’s no eye contact,
it’s strictly a ‘head-down, here-to-dobusiness deal.’”
The group was grateful to connect with the fulltime missionaries
who had visited them at Crestview
and who had warned them that
“you could have a to-do list like at
home, but here you’re happy to get
one thing done each day.” Tricia’s
eyes still widen in
amazement as
she remembers
the day they traveled to see the Taj
Mahal, a distance
roughly equal to a
trip from Georgetown to San Antonio; it took them ten
hours, four of which
they spent sitting in
traffic, not getting a
foot nearer the architectural wonder.
The group stayed
in a hotel and traveled by bus on some
days. On other days, they were closely
packed into a smaller vehicle, maneuvering down streets where traffic lights
and lanes are meaningless and honking
horns the norm. The group found that
the food was good and many people
in the towns they visited spoke passable English. Tricia was even able to
communicate with an Indian woman
by sharing family photos on their cell
phones. Each day, they worked at the
Ashish Centre for the Differently Abled,
a school where many of the children
struggle with varying degrees of autism.
The school, directed by a Christian
headmistress, offers love and hope to
children, some of whom return at day’s
end to difficult homes where they are
not valued. Sometimes the teachers
are not paid for months, despite long,
hard days, yet their message of love
shines through. The mission group was
divided into one or two volunteers per
classroom. Kayla worked with sevenand-eight-year-olds, repurposing used
costume jewelry, while Tricia worked
with older kids in a nearby thrift store
run by the school. They shared the
joy of service with the teachers and
gathered cherished stories to take back
32
to Georgetown. In the evenings, the
group hosted a vacation Bible school in
another rural village. Amazingly, Tricia
remembers not fatigue but a sense of
being energized.
As this special time drew to an end,
Tricia reflected on what the trip had
taught her. There were so many special
moments. She “had just known” she
wanted to minister to the children
because of her career as a teacher.
Surprisingly, however, she realized how
intensely she was drawn to the strong,
dedicated women with whom she
interacted at the school. The director
of Ashish Centre had offered personal
testimony about how she discovered
her value when she came to believe
that God sent His Son to die
for her, a woman. This, from
a woman surrounded by old
concepts of a rigid caste system—in India, where only a
small minority of the population claims Christianity, Tricia
saw hopelessness first-hand.
Now, homeward bound, the
question for Tricia became,
“How do I serve in response
to this extreme example?”
Others in the group were
enthusiastic about returning
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
to Ashish to do more. Although Tricia says she would
“absolutely” like to go back,
she doesn’t feel that India
is where she’s most needed.
“I needed to write and pray,
so I filled legal pages edge to
edge, I talked with my pastor,
and finally, from deep cores of
emotion, I realized there are
women all around me that feel
devalued and oppressed due to
old wounds and messages from
the past . . . their difficulties
may be well hidden, and they may seem
‘normal’ and functional.”
Tricia Coburn is a dynamic, peopleoriented woman of faith with a new
mission. Besides teaching, she has been
a computer software instructor in the
business world and trip coordinator for
the local non-profit, MEDICO. She’s a
gardener, a wife and mother, a reader,
and now, an advocate and encourager
for local women. Once Tricia decided
to move into women’s ministry, various affirmations followed. First, her
husband understood that she would
need more flexible hours than teaching would allow, so she began working toward a license in real estate. Her
school principal graciously released her
from a contract for 2012–2013. Second,
while cleaning out her home office, Tricia discovered a book she had ordered
years ago, but never read, about effective women’s ministry. Not much later,
she learned of an acquaintance who
wanted to start a women’s study group
based on a Beth Moore book, So Long,
Insecurity: You’ve Been a Bad Friend to
Us. Tricia and her friend began research
for a multigenerational support group.
And so, the vision marches toward reality. 

University Place
T∙o∙w∙ n ∙h∙o ∙m ∙e∙s
T
he Rebirth of University Place Townhomes has been an exciting event
for Georgetown. With Phase I sold out, many professionals and emptynesters alike have discovered the extraordinary value and beauty we
offer in a maintenance free lifestyle
“While looking for a
new home that we
could leave worry free
for the months we
spend in Colorado, the
first thing we noticed
about University Place
Townhomes was the
location – close to downtown Georgetown and across
the street from Southwestern University. The second
thing was the quality of construction and materials.
We were transitioning from a large elegant home and
wanted the same uniqueness and individual choice.
Mike Weynand and his staff worked with us to achieve
that goal. We couldn’t have asked for more.”
Margarite and Bob Holt
“We are happy and excited
about moving into our
new home at University Place Townhomes.
Our overall experience
has been a pleasant one
and the developer, Mike
Weynand, and his sales
manager, Nan Sebastian, are both always easy to work
with. While Mike is focused on maintaining his high
level of quality, he was always happy to personalize our
townhome by customizing some finishes. We love our
spacious open floorplan, the professional workmanship, and the level of standard features normally considered upgrades. It’s a great home in a great location
in a great town, Georgetown.”
Jose and Michelle Chapa and their son, Jose III,
currently enrolled at Southwestern university
Phase II has homes ready for occupancy and we are taking reservations for Phase III
to be completed this summer. A comparable Austin location and quality townhome
would sell starting at $415,000, making us an excellent investment.

F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
Interview with View Magazine Publisher, Bill Skinner,
and Mike Weynand, new owner and developer of
University Place Townhomes
Bill: What is University Place?
Mike: University Place is a luxury
Townhome Community of 2 and 3
bedroom spacious floor plans with
attached two car garages and private
fenced backyards that bring a maintenance free lifestyle to Georgetown.
Currently there are 17 homes organized in 4 distinctly designed 2-story
buildings, with 100% masonry stone/
brick exteriors. There is also additional land for our future phases.
Bill: Why did you make the decision
to take over a property that had not
been successful previously?
Mike:
When we evaluated the location directly across from Southwestern University and just minutes to
Old Town’s historic square, we saw
an opportunity to create an elegant
condominium complex of unique,
smartly designed homes with sound
construction, high end quality
finishes, and a maintenance free
lifestyle at affordable sales prices.
We did not focus on why the original
development was not successful,
but rather the opportunity to create
a vibrant and exciting community
in Georgetown. We felt it was very
important to complete the first phase
with 3 new buildings in addition to
the original one so our prospective
buyers could get a true sense of the
completed community. We believe
that lack of commitment could have
contributed to the original developer's difficulties.
Bill: What is the profile of the
Homeowners at University Place?
Mike:
The profile of our buyer is
someone who is interested in a
brand new luxury home with limited
maintenance responsibility which
offers them the freedom either to totally focus on their careers or travel
without worry. Many of our owners
have downsized from a larger home
and recognize and expect the same
level of superior quality. Without exception, the current group of homeowners at University Place have
given us a warm reception seem
pleased with their homes and their
community.
Bill: What do you think of Georgetown?
Mike:
Georgetown is a vibrant community with that sought after blend
of small town tradition and dynamic
growth, and is conveniently close
to Austin. There is a level of activity
and energy that inspires one to get
out explore the beauty Georgetown
is known for. More and more events,
fairs and festivals as well as surprising depth of cultural endeavors keep
things fresh and current. In my opinion, Georgetown has evolved from a
small town to city very well.
Bill: How do you see University
Place going forward?
Mike:
Our plans are to start construction of our 5th building the first
quarter of 2013, to maintain the
momentum achieved and continue
to demonstrate our commitment to
always have completed homes ready
to be occupied with the absolute
minimum of construction inconvenience. 

Mexican Restaurant Features Coastal Flavors
La Playa’s loyal customers keep coming back for more
By
James
Jeffrey
Photos By
Rudy Ximenez

C
hris Bombarger gets
the most satisfaction
as a restaurateur from
the array of customers eating at La Playa
Mexican Cafe. One woman, for
example, showed up to book the
restaurant’s private room for the
sixty-eighth high school reunion
of Georgetown High’s class of
1944. Chris has also learned how
to spot couples on blind dates and
is always pleased when dates go
well and couples move from the
bar to a table for dinner.
“We focus on two things,” Chris
says, “great food and great customers.”
The restaurant’s Spanish name
translates as “the beach,” hence
all the seafood on the menu, he
explains. This emphasis sets the
restaurant’s cuisine apart from
the typical Tex-Mex experience
and inspires the focus on fresh ingredients that enhance the clean,
coastal flavors of dishes served
up by Chef Ivan Sanchez. These
include Fish Poblano, a fish filet
graced by a creamy white wine
sauce, and Shrimp Amarrados, six
jumbo Gulf Coast shrimp stuffed
with jalapeño pepper and Monterrey Jack cheese and wrapped in
sizzling bacon.
Salsas are made fresh each
day also. The restaurant’s unique
red variety simmers on a stove
throughout the daily whirl of
activity in the kitchen, resulting in
an intense taste for more intrepid
customers.
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
“Salsa is very important to Texans,” Chris says, “We try to make
it as flavorful as what your mom
made.” It’s this fresh, homemade
quality that makes La Playa’s
Mexican food so popular.
Handmade corn tortillas, which
are a little thicker than flour tortillas, give the restaurant’s tacos
a tasty edge, and marisco soup,
brimful of scallops, shrimp, fish,
crawfish and crabmeat, is made
one bowl at a time.
Meats are never frozen and are
used straightaway. If you arrive
for lunch and hear a ruckus in
the kitchen, don’t worry. It’s just
meats being tenderized, Chris
says.
Before Chris took over the restaurant at the beginning of 2012,
he spent seven years catering
large events, feeding up to 6,000
people in two hours, meaning it
was nigh on impossible to get to
know any customers.
That impersonal experience
motivated him to become a restaurant
owner so that he could engage with
his clientele, discover what they like,
and create the best possible menu. La
Playa’s menu can change, depending on
customers’ feedback, as their opinions
matter most, he says.
The restaurant caters to families
looking for a good-value meal by also
providing a kids’ menu and by making
sure servings are bountiful enough to
keep even hungry teenage sons satisfied. Couples of all ages like to meet at
the restaurant’s long bar, and Chris has
seen young professionals as well as
retirees there on blind dates.
La Playa’s margaritas have a loyal
following. So
much so that
Chris remembers
how, when the
liquor vendor ran
out of the tequila
brand usually
supplied, a replacement brand
was sent that
supposedly was a
better quality. But
regular customers complained
the margaritas
weren’t as good as before.
Customers know what they like
and show their appreciation
and loyalty, he says. A regular customer who had been
hospitalized for three weeks
told his wife the first thing he
wanted to do when he got out
was enjoy a margarita at La
Playa. Some even return from
holidays bearing small gifts for
Chris. One customer brought
back a hot sauce picked up

in New Mexico, while another brought
back a hat from Las Vegas.
“The fact [that] those customers
thought about the restaurant and its
food while they were away gives me a
really, really nice feeling,” Chris says. 

rom early morning coffees to cross-country
track parties, family dinners, committee groups,
fundraiser planning,
school play practices, Facebook
updates, Bible studies, and weekly
leadership meetings—it all adds
up to a normal day for Emily Jenkins, who helps to support and
train leaders with Young Life
Ministries in Georgetown.
“When I try to explain the
commitment of being a Young
Life leader to people who are
interested in becoming leaders,” explains Emily with a laugh,

going to run them off. Being a

“My vision for Young Life in Georgetown is that
it will serve and benefit the community and
care for every kid who lives here.”
Young Life leader cannot
be summed up in a number
of hours to serve, certain
events to attend, or specific
tasks to complete. Being a
Young Life leader is a lifestyle—it is an all-out, fullon, total commitment.”
The weekly club meetings, game nights, and
Bible studies, though, all
serve a deeper purpose of
relentless, faithful relationship building with young
people who are seeking
to navigate the challenging transition from childhood to adulthood. Leaders
choose to step into and
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
invest consistently in the lives of these
students and by doing so to provide
a unique support system not only to the
young people, but also to their families.
“I believe Young Life is an extremely
unique ministry because the entire idea
is to ‘chase’ after these kids relentlessly,” Emily says. “The whole thing is
based on relationships. These young
people long for someone to love them
and to live life with them—we put in
hours of life with these kids, and that
impacts not only the kids but their families as well. When parents see what we
are doing, they want to know more,
and sometimes their lives change as a
result.”
Impacted herself by Young Life as a
high school student in Houston, Emily
helped establish the Georgetown chapter of the national Young Life Network
in 2011. Since then, the ministry has
grown to include more than 80 Georgetown high school students who participate in the Monday night “club” meetings, Thursday morning Bible studies,
and other activities each week.
“My vision for Young Life in Georgetown is that it will serve and benefit
the community and care for every kid
who lives here,” explains Emily, who
also serves as a certified substitute history teacher within the Georgetown Independent School District. “I hope that
every one of us who serves with it
(Young Life) will be living examples that
a life of faith in God is a full and wonderful life and that these kids can carry
that truth into their families, colleges,
and adult lives.” 

B
rilliant white light floods
the dance studio at the
Arts Avenue for Kids.
Ballet bars, polished
floors, and gleaming
mirrors await the next arrival of
performers. But instead of donning ballet or tap shoes, the ladies
in the Fit for Worship class lace up
their sneakers for an hour and fifteen minutes of aerobic dance set
to contemporary Christian music.
The class begins not with
participants lining up in rows, but
with prayer. “We lift each other
up,” says Monica Turner, assistant
instructor. Led by founder Veta
Stratmann, the ladies pray for
those who are absent or sick, as
well as for their own safety during the workout. With murmured
amens, the women eagerly take
their positions, ready for whatever
Veta or Monica dish out.
A push of a button soon infuses
the air with scripture-inspired
songs. Around the room, many
women silently mouth the lyrics as the sweat begins to drip
onto the floor. “Just because it’s
worship music doesn’t mean we
aren’t working to the max,” says
Veta. Noticeably absent are grunts
and groans. Linda Jones, a regular
attendee, attributes this absence
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
to the freedom to choose one’s
own pace. “No one cares what
pace you find. Everyone is there
for however much she can get out
of the class.”
The group is a kaleidoscope
of ages and fitness levels, from
teenagers who move with the
ease of youth to—as Kristi Tsering
puts it—“ages we don’t necessarily need to talk about.”
Beautifully woven into each
song is a specific routine that
fuses dance with traditional aerobic movements such as lunges
and squats. From the front of the room,
Veta calls out the next move, projecting
a level of energy that cascades across
exhausted limbs and encouraging her
friends to finish the song and “use it all
up.” By class’s end, she has managed to
weave a hundred leg raises, many knee
lifts, and a slew of other exercises into
the spins and side-ball changes.
“What I’ve tried to do is hide the
workout in the routine,” says Veta. So
far, she has choreographed thirty-two
routines on which she draws to make
each workout a unique experience.
Intimidating? Not so, says Veta.
“Honestly, two classes and you’ve got
it.” Fit for Worship offers a thirty-minute
pre-class review of basic steps for new
students. But that’s not the only benefit
newcomers receive. On entering the
studio, newcomers are lavished with
welcoming smiles and open hearts.
“This is an extraordinary group in that
there is no cliquishness or any exclusion,” says Kristi. It’s one of the motivating factors that keeps Kristi and the
others coming back.
Besides the camaraderie, many participants consider this class an act of
worship of the Lord. “We draw closer
to the Lord every time that we go and
express through our movement our
adoration toward Him, and He loves
that,” explains Darlene Rankin, one
of several grandmothers in the class.
Monica echoes Darlene’s sentiments
and adds that this class has helped
expand her understanding of worship.
While singing songs in church she says,
“It’s all I can do not to do some of the
routines.”
As the final chords glide quietly
through the air, Veta gathers the class
again. The importance of beseeching
the Lord’s presence at the beginning of
the workout is not lost at the end. Before they step back out into the world,
Veta reads a passage from scripture.
“It refocuses you for the rest of the
day,” says Monica. With that focus, the
women in the Fit for Worship class embrace the day physically, mentally, and
spiritually stronger. 

The Man Behind the Logos
Graphic artist Nick Ramos created many of Georgetown’s logos
By

Y
ou may not recognize
his face, but you most
likely recognize his
work. Graphic artist
and illustrator Nick
Ramos has created some of
Georgetown’s most memorable
logos. You might be wearing a
sweatshirt or drinking out of a
coffee mug decorated with one
of his designs right now.
Nick owns Graphismo, an
award-winning graphic design
and illustration studio. Once upon
a time, an advertising team or
agency, not a stand-alone business, would have provided the
services that Graphismo offers.
Today, many people are unfamiliar with a graphic design company’s services.
For more information, contact Nick at 512686-1495 or visit Graphismo on Facebook or
on the web at www.graphismo.com.

What can a graphic designer
do for a person or a business?
Years ago people thought all
you really needed to start a business was a logo letterhead and
some business cards, but today
it takes so much more. You also
need a web site, a web presence.
Graphismo creates an identity.
How do you create an “identity?”
It all starts with meeting the
clients and talking about their
needs and expectations. I need
to know clients’ goals. I need to
know about their audience, their
competition. This is why dialogue
is so important. It’s about making
sure that what the client wants is
going to come across.
What’s your work process like?
After the initial communication,
there’s research. This might involve searching the Internet, taking a trip to the mall or the library,
or reading a book about a specific
topic. It’s really important to have
a foundation and knowledge to
back up your designs.
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
After research, I develop three
to five concepts to present to
the client. At this point, it’s more
important to focus on the concept and the idea instead of the
actual appearance. I present only
black and white concepts because
people can have very strong reactions to color. For example, if they
don’t like purple, they might automatically be turned off. Working
in black and white allows them to
focus on the idea.
The presentation is followed by
a discussion. We take the client’s
feedback, select a direction and a
couple of the concepts, and work
on refining them.
And after you’ve narrowed
down to one idea?
More discussion and refinement
follow. Afterwards, we incorporate color and design stationery
and other applications.
This process can take several
weeks, if not months. Working
with a graphic designer is not a
one- or two-day stint. It’s a longterm relationship. 

Getting Investment Right

J
eanne Laswell, sixty-nine,
stopped working four
years ago to care for her
mother, who could no
longer remain independent. She saw her mother’s assets dwindle to pay for her care,
which made Jeanne consider her
own future.
“I met Lynne Moore, who
advised me and repositioned my
assets,” she says. “Now I’m good
and will be at eighty years old and
even at ninety if I need long-term
care. I’m happier than ever.”
Moore is a financial consultant with Edward Jones, a company that’s been making sense
of investing since 1922, when it
was founded with the goal giving
families investment advice.
The company focuses all
resources on individual clients,
going beyond stocks and bonds
to consider the whole picture of
401k accounts, life insurance, and
retirement situations. Initial consultation sessions and retirement
and savings reports are free and
available to everyone.
“We don’t have a minimum
account balance requirement,”
Lynne adds. The fees vary for each
customer, depending on the investment plans chosen. Some cli-
ents are looking to invest twentyfive dollars a month, while others
have multimillion-dollar accounts.
Lynne says the most successful
clients focus on the long term
rather than on turning a quick
profit from a large lump sum.
Currently she has about 200
families and small businesses on
her books. About sixty percent of
customers are in their fifties and
retired, while about forty percent
are businesses owners and employees.
“I look at where you are today
and how to get you to where you
want to be in retirement,” Lynne
says. She customizes plans for
each client and focuses on consistent and predictable investment
returns for good and bad markets.
“We don’t just follow trends but
instead look at proven historical
performances,” Lynne explains.
Types of investments can include master limited partnerships
(MLPs), real estate investments,
unit investment trusts, and even
precious metals.
Monthly predictability is very
important for customers, especially retirees, and Edward Jones
software tracks investments and
warns of potential dips below
required income levels. This also
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
benefits individuals who don’t
have consistent incomes, she
says, such as mortgage brokers,
real estate agents, new business
owners, and anyone who works
on a consulting basis or from job
to job.
Underpinning all consultations
is a focus on education, she says.
“Clients may not understand every
investment, but it’s important they
understand the goal and why they
are in it.”
Lynne works with young
adults—sometimes as a volunteer—advising them how to pay
off debt or helping them start
early on retirement investment
funds. “If you are in your thirties
and starting a family, you know
you should do something for
retirement, but often you don’t
know where to start.” Lynne also
helps clients with funding children’s college educations.
Due to recent economic difficulties, Lynne says, it’s important
that people develop or review
investment plans with an adviser.
Ultimately, though, they should
do so regardless of how markets
perform.
Lynne stresses, “It’s important
to have a pulse on your money
and your plan.” 

Planted with Care
Planning for an abundant spring garden
By
Jon
Fortenbury
A
s you look out your
window, dreaming
of a lush garden, you
see patches of grass,
muddled between dry,
worthless dirt. You pop a notquite-sweet, store-bought cherry
tomato into your mouth and ask
yourself, “Is this going to be the
year?” You imagine your droughtravaged yard crying out, “Yes,
please, let this be the year!”
If it is the year you plant a
spring garden, you'll enjoy many
benefits, according to Carol Hoke,
a Master Gardener at Texas A&M
AgriLife Extension Service. “Plants
produce lots of oxygen…, and no
grocery store can beat the taste,”
Carol says.
Get your soil tested from 8 to 5, Monday
through Friday, at the Williamson County
AgriLife Extension Service.

Despite your zeal, maybe you
don't know where to start. Charging blindly into the gardening
process can lead to all sorts of
complications. Carol offers five
steps for preparing for a spring
garden.
Get a soil test. Pack up soil
samples to be tested by a lab. Depending on garden size,
you may wish to sample
more than one area. The
test results provide an
idea of how fertile the soil
is and indicate whether
it’s free of deficiencies.
Clean up your garden
area. Returning gardeners can likely skip the soil
test and jump straight into
pruning back plants, removing
all things dead from the previous
garden, and making room for a
new, lively garden.
Add compost. Both new and
existing gardens need compost
(decomposed organic material
such as manure) to thrive. According to Carol, compost “gives
soil a boost of nitrogen,” allowing
it to produce great vegetation.
Plant the right seeds. Before dropping that seed into the
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
ground, it's important to know
which plants thrive in Georgetown during the spring. “If I were
doing it, I’d do pole beans, carrots, collards, corn, cucumbers,
lettuce, onions, tomatoes, squash
and watermelon,” Carol says. She
also recommends Doug Welsh’s
Texas Garden Almanac for ideas.
Add mulch to the surface
of the garden. Mulch could be
grass clippings, hay, sawdust, etc.
Carol says, “Mulch holds moisture
in, keeps weeds out, provides
organic matter, and keeps the
possibility plant disease at a lower
level.”
Follow these steps to a successful spring garden and, by May,
you’ll be munching on your own
homegrown veggies—and saving
on your grocery bill. 

Stop Swinging
Over The Top
I
If you have a problem pulling
your short irons and slicing
your drives, then try this drill.
When you look at the ball,
your club is moving from the
upper right corner of your vision to your lower left. The only
reason your short irons go left and
your drives go right is that you are
able to square the clubface with
the shorter club.
The Fix
Set up to a ball and imagine
someone behind you grabbing
your right pocket. When you make
your swing, feel your pocket and
your right hip being yanked behind
you and away from the ball. Remember, do not sway.
Although this is not actually
happening, this kind of hip action
puts you in a position that makes
it difficult to swing over the top.
As you start down, feel a tug
again, but this time on your left
hip. This will help you approach
the ball from the inside – from the
lower right corner of your vision –
and hit a nice draw.

your turn onto your right side in

let your right leg straighten. Keep
your knee flexed and push from

Back to the Family Table
Chef brings home cookin’ to homes
W
hile a journalism
student, Nikki
Elkjer was the
quintessential
host, gladly offering munchies to friends who
were indulging a drink or two.
So when her husband suggested
she go to culinary school, it
made sense.
After years of being a chef at
restaurants and catering companies in the greater Austin area,
Nikki started her own personal
chef business in 2007. She
customizes meals for people in
Austin, Round Rock, and Georgetown and does culinary demonstrations, specializing in Spanish
Italian fusion.
“It’s always been important to
me to sit around the table with
my family,” says the Round Rock
mom of three, “and that’s something I can really offer to clients,
taking away the stress of having
to fix dinner.” Nikki will deliver
food to clients but prefers to use
their kitchens to cook and serve
meals featuring dishes like the
ones she shares here. 

Note: The consumption of raw or
undercooked meat may increase the risk
of food-borne illness.
Tie the beef with twine to create a
uniform shape. Heat the oil in a skillet
over high heat and sear the beef on all
sides for color. Remove from heat and
cool. Combine the herbs, vinegar, salt,
and pepper, and coat the beef evenly.
Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for
at least 8 hours before slicing. Remove
the beef from plastic, cut off twine, and
slice the beef into thin pieces. Place 1
piece between 2 pieces of plastic wrap
and tenderize. Do this with the smooth
side of a mallet. Start from the middle
and work your way out, creating a circle.
The finished product should resemble a
thin slice of prosciutto. Then, preheat the
oven to 400° F. Place the beets in a small
roasting pan. Add the olive oil and ¼ cup
of water. Toss the beets in the liquid and
cover the pan with aluminum foil. Roast
until the beets can be pierced easily with
a knife, about 1½ hours. Let the beets
cool slightly and then peel away the skin.
Slice into thin pieces. For each serving,
place 3 pieces of Carpaccio on a cold dish.
Arrange thinly sliced roasted beets along
1 side of the beef. Sprinkle with crumbled
Gorgonzola and squeeze fresh lemon
juice over. Finish with a sprig of rosemary.

Chipotle Orange Shrimp over
Linguine with Romano and
Arugula 
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh orange juice
6 cups sugar
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup soy sauce
1 7-oz. can of chipotle peppers in adobo
sauce, pureed
2 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and
deveined, tails on
2 Tbs olive oil
1 pound linguine
¼ cup butter, at room temperature
1½ cup grated Romano cheese
1½ tsp black pepper
1 cup arugula
Preparation:
In a large pot, reduce (boil) orange juice
to ½ cup. Lower heat to medium and
add sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and pureed
chilies. Simmer about 20 minutes and
remove from heat. Toss the shrimp with
olive oil in a large bowl to coat. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper and toss again.
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add
the shrimp and sauté until just cooked,
about 2 minutes. Toss the shrimp in the
orange chipotle glaze. Bring a quart of
salted water to boil over high heat. Your
water should taste like the sea. Add the
linguine and cook until al dente, about 8
minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking
water and set aside. Immediately toss the
hot pasta in a large bowl with the butter
to coat, gradually adding the cheese
and pepper. Add the arugula and toss
to combine. Add a few tablespoons of
reserved cooking liquid to help combine
the cheese, pasta, and arugula. Season
with salt to taste. Place linguine in a large
pasta bowl. Top with orange chipotle
shrimp and some of the drippings from
the cooked shrimp. Finish with a few
Romano shavings.

Last month we discussed 5 of the
Top 10 Design Trends of 2013. Below
are the final 5 of the Top 10. These
trends are focused on conservation
and environmental protection.
Typically these will result in savings
for your family- always an added
bonus!
Go Green! Recycle, repurpose.
Find artistic ways to use older items
in new design. Shop used furniture
stores and find the piece that
needs a simple coat of paint or new
upholstery.
Energy and Water Efficiency.
Low-water plumbing fixtures,
recirculating hot water pumps, rain
catchers, solar panels, and drought
tolerant landscaping.
Multiple Function Rooms.
Kitchens that double as family
rooms and homework areas, for
example. Or home offices that
double as a comfortable guest
room. Check out the new Murphy
beds!
Remodel. Rather than buying
new, bigger, and more expensive,
homeowners are opting to remodel
their current homes to fit the needs
and wants of their families.
Outdoor Living. Create outdoor
living areas, kitchens, playscapes,
and gardens.
2013 is the year for creating
functional living spaces that are
comfy and beautiful!

A Horse’s Journey
What a difference TLC makes!

A
nightmarish scene
awaited the ASPCA
crew as they arrived at the Arkansas
property in late 2010:
more than a hundred neglected
horses—starving, diseased, many
with such overgrown hooves they
could barely walk. Some lay lifeless on the ground. The ASPCA
successfully relocated the abused
animals, but during months of
investigation and court negotiations, many volunteers were required to help care for the horses.
That’s when the call came in to
the Williamson County Sheriff’s
Posse. Rebecca Boyd, captain of
the Posse Drill Team, headed for
Arkansas to help. That’s when
Rebecca found her “baby.”
The frigid January air frosted
white as the horses snorted
their greetings to the volunteers.
Rebecca was put in charge of a
group of volunteers caring for
forty horses—one full row of stalls
lining both sides of the barn. They
cleaned stalls, provided fresh
food, and checked the horses’
water frequently to make sure
the huge tubs hadn’t frozen over
in the low temperatures. But as
important as the horses’ physical
care was their emotional care.
They needed to be comforted by
touch—brushed, patted, and reassured.
One of Rebecca’s charges
looked at her with his hopefilled orbs, begging to trust her.
Rebecca decided to name this
emaciated, scarred, and scared
horse Baby. Trying and failing
to touch Baby, Rebecca sought
the advice of another volunteer
more experienced with rescued
horses. Rebecca explains how
F E B R u a r y 2 0 1 3  G E O R G E T O W N v i e w
she learned, with her eyes to the
ground, to “move slowly towards
him. Then if he moved the slightest bit, I would take one step
back away from him … over and
over, like a dance, until I finally
was able to touch his front right
shoulder. His whole body visibly
shook … reflected his fear, and his
eyes longed for reassurance that
I would not hurt him.” Rebecca’s
perseverance paid off. Baby began
to trust her.
Her week flew by, and soon
Rebecca was headed home.
Volunteers could put in requests
for any horses they might want
to purchase once the case was
finalized, and Rebecca requested
Baby. Time passed and, hearing
nothing, Rebecca thought it might
be for the best, as her family probably shouldn’t incur the cost of
another horse.
Then another call came from
Bonnie with the ASPCA. No one
else had asked for Baby. She said,
“Rebecca, you saw what I saw,
that nobody else saw. You’ve
got to take him.” As further incentive, the
ASPCA would give Baby to Rebecca, and
Bonnie knew some men willing to bring
him to Texas. Rebecca said yes.
When she picked Baby up, the men cautioned her that it took three of them to load
Baby into the trailer, but Rebecca loaded
him herself in less than ten minutes. “He remembered me,” says Rebecca, “and I don’t
know how.”
In the first few days at his new home, it
was clear Baby trusted Rebecca. “One of
the most vulnerable positions for a horse,”
Rebecca explains, “is when he is lying
down, and he let me lie on him that very
first week.” Rebecca’s loving care helped
Baby change from a physically and mentally
scarred animal to a strong, happy one that
loves to play with his pasture buddy, Beau.
At twenty, Beau isn’t always eager to play,
but four-year-old Baby nips and pesters until Beau takes up the challenge.
There was one final call when Baby arrived, and that was the call by
her family to change Baby’s name—a name they didn’t understand at
all. So Baby became Shilloh, a name that fits the transformed horse.
Rebecca says, “He gave me a special purpose because he chose me.”
And there’s no doubt how Shilloh feels as he nuzzles her. 
