    FOOT FACTSby Dr. Eric Tepper

    BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIST, ACCPPSWEIGHING IN ON FOOT PROBLEMS

    Young children who are obese risk damaging their feet. They have problems balancing, and they walk at a slower pace. Due to carrying excess weight, their feet develop to be wider and longer than normal, and they risk long-term foot, leg, and back issues. Pressure from excess weight can damage a childs delicate feet, putting him or her at risk of developing deformities and abnormalities. Extra weight exerts pressure on the joints in the foot, negatively affecting how the foot aligns. Because of the potential limitations and restrictions that may result from this situation, the ability to exercise is limited. This puts obese children at additional risk since they need to be more active.

    Childhood is the best time to begin teaching healthy habits, from main-taining an appropriate weight to proper foot care. Learned early, taking care of the body becomes a lifetime habit. Take your child on his or her first walk on the road to happy, healthy feet and call us at 980-3668. A sure investment in your childs future is a visit to our offices today. We treat all members of your family, from kids to grandparents, for all kinds of foot problems at 3143 Hwy. 6 South, where our number one priority is to provide our patients with the highest level of service and expertise.

    HINT: Children who have difficulties or appear reluctant to participate in physical activities should be examined for lower extremity disabilities.

    Safety issues cited ...................................... from page 1 tower, as it is proposed, will be located behind his house.

    There is a maintenance area with a couple of water tanks located right off the boundary between New Territory and Telfair (eastern edge of New Territory and western edge of Telfair and bounded on the north by a por-tion of Robinsons Landing). As soon as I voiced my objection, I was asked by a board member How did I find out about this proposal? T-Mobile had a repre-sentative there doing a presenta-tion on this day. The meeting went on for a long time and the board wanted to vote for the proposal that night itself. One of the neigh-borhood representatives reminded the board that in the past they had been asked to communicate this proposal to all the residents but that had not happened. In fact as a response to my objection a board member commented that it was unreasonable to expect the association to send out 4,600 let-ters and wait for their responses before making a decision on the proposal, Chandnani explained.

    The board voted to postpone the vote until the March 15 meet-ing but since that time rumors indi-cate that date could be changed to March 22 due to Spring Break.

    Chandnani and a growing num-ber of his neighbors are a bit sus-picious about how the T-Mobile contract is being handled. The first thing that sparked their curios-ity was the reaction of the board when Chandnani posed the initial question at the meeting and the main concern on the part of the board was how did you find out about it. Chandnani said he would have thought the proposal should have been discussed and notices sent to residents a long time before he broached the issue.

    And, the boards contention that they could not contact every-one in the subdivision has seem-ingly sparked a grassroots effort by Chandnani and his neighbors throughout the community, to do just that. Since the Feb. 15 meet-ing, the word is spreading like wildfire and, thus far, those that are hearing about it are expressing deep concerns about the impact a large tower will have on those residents who live adjacent to the location where the tower would be placed and the community as a whole.

    Volunteers are using e-mails and knocking on doors to alert as many of their fellow residents as possible.

    In the meantime, the New Territory website is putting up a lot of additional information that could be construed as help-ful. But, then again, it could also be deemed confusing. Shortly after Chandnani appeared before the board, they posted a concep-

    tualized drawing of the proposed tower and also posted informa-tion from the pending contract. The drawing does not show any homes near the tower location when, in fact, there are homes bordering the location.

    T-Mobile has agreed to lease the property for $1,500 per month but will be allowed additional growth potential.

    And, Chandnani hopes to have time to alert the homeowners in Telfair about the tower. I am sure they do not know about this and a lot of those homes are as close to this as mine. I know every neighbor I have spoken to so far is incensed, Chandnani said.

    Chandnani said that his pri-mary concern had been safety issues and the possibility of lower property values. Since then, other residents have posed all types of concerns. One of the issues brought up was the possibility the homeowners association being able to put up security cameras for safety reasons. This could also pose privacy issues for residents, neighbors fear.

    Many of the residents own swimming pools and others fre-quently entertain outdoors. They fear security cameras that would run round the clock would allow big brother to watch family members, including teenagers and youngsters, to be filmed without their knowledge.

    Chandnani is not opposed to technology but he feels an exem-plary residential neighborhood such as New Territory is not the place to place a commercial tower. He sent a letter to the board of directors and clarified his con-cerns the day after the initial meet-ing.

    The official position, at this time, is that these towers do gen-

    erate radiation but at levels that pose little danger to humans. At the same time we know that expo-sure to radio frequencies is not good for humans and we think at this time we know what safe levels are. Field strength or power density from these towers is not constant. It may start off by hav-ing minimal numbers of anten-nas at the top. However as they add on more carriers, that number increases and the power density of multiple active channels from those antennas increases and specially at times of heavy cell phone use the cumulative effect of the transmissions is significantly more than had been initially mea-sured and reported at the time the tower was built (three more carri-ers have already been proposed by T-mobile). Once you make a deci-sion to let them build a tower in a location you can never get it out.

    Leaving aside the health impact of this kind of technology, please consider the impact this tower would actually have on the property values of New Territory as a whole. When people consider living in an area, what is utmost on their mind is the ambiance of the surroundings and access to facilities conducive to raising a family in an environment that is pleasing and possibly some-thing that will hold its value for future residents. We have upheld this positive environment in New Territory for a very long time. We have become the model for excel-lence for a lot of developments near and far, Chandnani said to the board.

    The residents are planning to show up at the next meeting, whether it is on March 15 or March 22, and see if some of the concerns and issues can be ironed out.

    New law kicked in .................................... from page 1reporter and interim publish-er of the Katy Times, Nick Georgandis.

    To date he has not been charged with any offense but the search warrants list vio-lations of Texas statues for online harassment; Internet Impersonation which is a third degree felony and Spoofing, a class A misdemeanor.

    Spoofing is a word used to describe sending an electron-ic message to someone while using the identifying informa-tion (social network identity, phone number, or picture) of an unsuspecting third person, without their consent.

    Laws affecting Online Harassment through electronic media were enacted by the last session of the Texas Legislature and became enforceable law on September 1, 2009. Since then it has been a crime to spoof, post as another person, or post per-sonal information about anyone without their consent intending to harm, defraud, intimidate, or threaten any person.

    According to the search war-

    rant executed and returned by Sheriffs Detective Jeff Kapche, Georgandis posed as two for-mer star Katy football play-ers who were away at college. The warrant states that at the time impersonations occurred Aundre Dean was at UCLA--he has since moved to TCU, and Trent Hunter, was and remains, at Texas A&M University.

    The documents spell out that the young men were made aware of the fake Facebook sites when female friends began to complain about inap-propriate sexual comments the players were posting on the womens Facebook pages.

    Hunter was called to task about his online behavior by Texas A&M University after a recipients husband contacted the school. Had he been the one participating in the lewd online behavior, he was at risk of los-ing his scholarship.

    Both young men were cleared and the investigation into Georgandis continues, although he is no longer affili-ated with the Katy Times news-

    paper. The investigation into

    Georgandis uncovered some even more bazaar behavior by adults. Although there have been ancillary reports of juve-nile victims, none were list-ed or alluded to in the search warrant affidavits; only adult women.

    According to those close to the case, and statements referred to in the search war-rant affidavit, there were adult women from the Katy area sent partially nude photos to whom they thought were the teen boys. It was not. The docu-ments further outlined that on February 13, 2010 a site called Nawty, Nawty Katy was set up revealing some of the photo-graphs sent by area women to the imposter.

    Social networking sites are the latest form of advertising; however, the old adage still hold true--buyer beware. Before you post, one must know what your goals are and how it will affect your organization--even if its an organization of one.
