Carevide Breaks
Ground
Continued population growth in Kaufman County and surrounding areas has led to increasing demand for residents to have access to affordable healthcare services, including a number of underinsured and uninsured Texans. And with 27.7% of Kaufman County’s residents being school age or younger in 2018, providing local access to quality pediatric services has become a top priority for one longtime, local healthcare provider. Carevide—a regional non-pro it community health center with locations in Kaufman, Greenville, Bonham, Cooper and Farmersville—is preparing to open a new, larger facility in early Spring of 2020 in order to pro-
6 / C o n necti ng K au fman // Octo b e r 2 019
on New Location vide additional services and better serve patients in Kaufman and surrounding areas. One new service Carevide is excited to offer soon will be the addition of a full-time Pediatric Nurse Practitioner who will provide well-child exams, treatment for chronic and acute illnesses, immunizations, sports physicals and more. Formerly known as Kaufman Community Health Center, Carevide has provided general family medical services to residents of Kaufman County since 2003. Additionally, the center partners to receive emergency room referrals and follow-up visits from Texas Health hospital in Kaufman. Operating nine
health centers spread throughout fi ve counties in northeast Texas, the organization rebranded itself in 2017 to unify all its locations under the new name of Carevide. Nonetheless, leadership and staff have remained focused on their mission to provide patients with the vital healthcare services they need. “We quickly recognized the area’s need for local access to additional, specialized services such as pediatrics and behavioral health,” explained Carevide’s Chief Executive Offi cer Michelle Carter. The center recently integrated behavioral health into its family practice services. However, with 19 employees including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, LVN’s, medical assistants and other auxiliary staff, space at the current location on North Houston Street has become limited and fi nite. “It was important for us to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care, and we felt strongly that these services should all be available under one roof in a modern healthcare facility.” After months of painstaking preparation, a ground-breaking ceremony was held in September of 2018 and construction is underway on the new medical building in Kaufman. With approximately 10,000 square feet of space, Facilities Manager Jeff Griggs says there will be plenty of room to grow at the new location. “Most of the space will be utilized immediately, with roughly 1,800 square feet set aside for storage or future expansion,” said Griggs. Located at 2600 Commerce Way in Kaufman, Carevide’s new facility will offer the convenience of general primary care and integrated behavioral health services, pediatrics and women’s health services, as well as in-house labs and an on-site pharmacy in one location. Carevide welcomes new patients and accepts private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP, with a sliding-fee scale based on family size and income available for underinsured and uninsured patients. Additionally, translation services and assistance with eligibility and enrollment are available. For more information about services available or to schedule an appointment, call Carevide in Kaufman at 972-932-7001 or visit Carevide.org.

Water and Wildlife John Bunker Sands Wetland Center is home for birds, animals and education
By Bailey Daniels While many residents and visitors drive by it on Highway 175, some might not know that John Bunker Sands Wetland Center is a hidden gem in our backyard. Located near Combine, just off of FM 1389, the center is in the middle of the 2,000-acre East Fork Wetland Project, and the staff focuses on providing information and education about wetland systems, natural wildlife, and water conservation. This time of year is the beginning of the migratory bird season, so visitors to the center can see hundreds of white cattle egrets, which follow cattle that graze in the area and eat the insects they stir up. “When people visit our wetlands and wetlands center, they’re visiting a water supply, along with more than 260 different species of birds, including nesting bald eagles,” said John DeFillipo, the center’s director. The John Bunker Sands Wetland Center originally opened in October of 2010, but its history extends long before this decade. Historically, the property was a cattle ranch owned by the Sands family. John studied the wetland habitat in depth before deciding that he wanted to start up his own man-made wetlands project. Unfortunately, Sands died before his vision was completed, but the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center opened in 2010. The center works in conjunction with the North Texas Municipal Water District and pulls its water from the Trinity River. The center started out by having some elementary groups visit so the young students could learn about the habitat and experience some of the wildlife. But quickly, middle school and high school teachers wanted a place in the learning program as well. What started as young minds taking in nature quickly turned into biology students testing pH and bacteria levels in the water. Almost a decade later, the center now offers college research programs, teacher workshops, and family days for people to come visit and take in the habitat. The wetlands are also home to numerous other species for wildlife lovers. Some of the center’s notable animals are bobcats, river otters, and minks. Since the eagles began nesting on the property in 2015, the center has seen 12 eagles born on the property. Interestingly, the eagles originally built their nest on an electrical structure on the outskirts of the property. In fear for their eagles’ safety, the center banded together with outside electrical and steel companies to build a mock tower and relocate the nest for the eagles’ protection. In order to preserve the nest in
its entirety, the center even took steps to wrap the nest in bubble wrap to complete the relocation. Although the center emphasizes wildlife and birds for their visitors, their main purpose is perhaps the most important function in our community. The Wetland Center has a water-recycling system in place that takes the water from the property and cleans it before sending it to Lake Lavon. This recycled water reaches more than one million people in Kaufman County and beyond. The recycled water has a huge impact on our community, reaching all the way from Mabank to McKinney. Additionally, the recycled water from the center makes up about 20% of the water used throughout Kaufman County. Without the aid of this natural water filtration, county residents would be subject to potentially unclean water and higher water usage. The John Bunker Sands Wetland Center offers guests the opportunity to learn about the environment, and engage with wildlife; or, for those just looking for a quiet space to get away, there are bike trails,and an expansive porch for a quiet reading haven. The Wetland Center is a welcoming refuge to all and offers something for people of every age. The center is located at 655 Martin Lane in Seagoville. More information is available at www.wetlandcenter.com.
The center is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Admission is $5 per person, or free for members. Admission for seniors is $4, and children 12 and under enter for free when accompanied by an adult. On the first and third Saturdays of the month, the center opens early, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., so visitors have a better chance of seeing birds and wildlife. At 7 a.m. on the first Saturday of the month, there are bird watching tours. Guided boardwalk tours are from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on the third Saturday of the month. Participants should wear a hat, bring some insect repellent and a water bottle, and be ready for an adventure. No reservations are required. Also, the center’s “Wings Over the Wetland” fundraiser is from 5 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26, featuring chuck wagon comfort food by Buck Reams and Wagyu beef from the neighboring Rosewood Ranch. The Western Flyers Band, pictures with Texas Longhorn cattle, and a live auction and speed painter Amy Burkman also will be on deck. Funds raised will advance efforts for water conservation and wetlands education.

Beekeeping as a Business By Gay Fowler Ron Johnstone knows a lot about bees. He raises bees. He sells honey and honey products. He sells bees. Most anyone with time and an internet connection can learn about bees. Spend time with him and it’s apparent what makes him successful is that he understands bees. Bees fascinate him. He’s intrigued by how they go about their business of making honey and tending their queen without any help from humans. “If we got out of the way, they’d do just fine,” he said. “From the moment they emerge they know what to do.” His wife Angela, who works alongside him, sums it up this way: “If you don’t believe in God, follow a bee around. They take care of each other and do their job.” Ron obviously enjoys teaching others about the business. He’s active in the North Texas Beekeepers Association, which meets the second Monday of each month in Canton. Watching him interact with a customer who is starting his own hives, one gets the feeling that Ron has learned cooperation and teamwork from his bees. “Everyone is welcome to our meetings,” he said of his beekeepers group. “We all work together.” The business, HE Honey, is named for their granddaughters, Hallie, 9, and Emilie Johnstone, 13. Even grandson Malachi, 2, tries to help. They also live on the same property as Ron and Angela with parents David and Lindsie. Older son, Eric, lives in Forney with wife, Anissa, and sons Deacon Johnstone 7, Brady Wood, 12, and Coby Wood, 16. Anissa teaches school in Kaufman. Ron started beekeeping more than five years ago when Hallie and Emilie were homeschooled and he wanted to provide another learning experience for them.
The girls now attend public schools, but the beekeeping goes on. What started as two hives became 12 and then 77 and is now about 120 hives. Johnstone is looking at a target of 400 hives when he retires from his nursing career. With 40,000 to 60,000 bees in each hive, that’s a lot of workers. “He doesn’t do anything little,” Angela says with a smile. They live in the country near Scurry and raise cattle as well as bees. Ron experiments with all sorts of products using honey: soap, lip balm, wax for candles, tinctures for treating skin abrasions. He sells his products at several area businesses. Spring is the busy time for beekeepers. The hives must be divided to prevent the bees from swarming and leaving to form a new hive. To provide credence to the old saying that nature abhors a vacuum and a farmer, any honey produced after August can’t be used. The bees visit a common plant called snow on the mountain (Euphorbia marginata), a type of spurge, which gives the honey a disagreeable taste. Johnstone describes fall as a time to “feed the bees and get them looking good” in preparation for winter. Finding nectar to feed the bees is no problem. Local farmers are pleased to have hives on their pastures to help pollinate the clovers which the cattle graze. In a thoughtful moment, Johnston says, “I don’t know how anyone can say they produce ‘organic’ honey. You don’t know where the bees go or what they eat,” since they travel two to five miles to feed. Like any rancher, beekeepers are at the mercy of the weather. Drought limits pollen production by the plants, which means less for the bees to eat. Too much rain washes the pollen out of the plants, which means less for the bees to eat. Sug-
ar water provided by the beekeeper makes up the difference. HE Honey products can be found at a number of local businesses. In Kaufman they’re available at Double R Ag Supply, Cordell Farm and Ranch Store, and Especially for You Tearoom; in Scurry look for them at Sloan’s Super Save; in Kemp, at Full Quiver Farms and Heritage Market; in Crandall, at Main Street Cafe.
A different kind of livestock
Timber Lodge Alpacas brings fine fiber to North Texas By Gay Fowler Not all livestock in Texas is for eating or riding. Not all fiber animals say “baa.” Ask Troy and Mary Ogilvie. They are in the alpaca business. And like other ranchers they manage Timber Lodge Alpacas near Post Oak Bend in a professional and business-like manner. While the national association promotes the “alpaca lifestyle,” Troy can tell you exactly how much it costs to produce a pound of alpaca fleece. “This is not a hobby farm,” he’s quick to point out. They sell breeding stock, board breeding stock for other owners, and sell fleece and garments made from alpaca yarn. “If you don’t know what you’re going to do with the fleece, don’t get alpacas.” Ask him about raising alpacas and he very quickly steers the conversation to fleece. As knowledgeable as he is about the husbandry aspect, he also knows a lot about fleece. Mary, who was taught to knit by her mother, produces scarves, gloves, sweaters, shawls and other items using the soft, warm yarn to sell at farmers’ markets. This year they plan to sell their goods at the Four Seasons Market in Richardson from November into January. Summer markets don’t bring buyers looking for cold weather apparel. “It’s not unusual for us to have repeat customers,” Mary said. “People are becoming much more aware of alpacas,” than when they first began raising them. It was garments made from alpaca fleece that caught their attention long before they ever thought about raising the animals. On a trip to Santa Fe they saw garments in a shop and asked the owner about them. The items were imported from Peru.
12 / C o nnecti ng K a u fma n // Octo b e r 2019
Troy said he was attracted to the “elegant, wonderful drape and softness. They were so fine, so light weight.” “We did two years of solid research before we bought any animals,” he said. They visited alpaca farms, talked to breeders, went to shows and read everything they could find. They joined the Alpaca Owners Association, the national trade organization, long before they began their business. When they felt they were ready the Dallas natives moved to Kaufman County and started Timber Lodge Alpacas. Their herd currently numbers 29 animals. That was about 15 years ago. Their log home in a hardwood forest provided the name for the farm, Troy said. Troy was in the Navy before working as a photographer for the City of Dallas water department. Mary is the executive assistant to the president of a Dallas animal welfare agency. Like most alpaca owners, they had no background or experience in raising livestock before they got their first animals. Troy praises the Alpaca Owners Association for its helpfulness and support of the members. Likewise, the people in the industry are always willing to help each other as questions come up and challenges arise. “People in this industry will do anything they can to help you,” Mary adds. “They’ll even take your animals into the show ring if you need it. We had offers of help from breeders we didn’t buy any animals from.” The Ogilvies give back as well. When asked what those who buy breeding stock from him find surprising, Troy answers, “I try to educate them before they buy any animals so there aren’t any surprises. They’re surprised when they are as successful as they are.” “Raising alpacas is not as hard as you think,” Mary adds. Feed is not a problem. Troy said he gets local hay, and a farm supply store orders the special feed he needs.
Finding a veterinarian willing to treat the animals took some time since vets in the United States aren’t taught a lot about camelids. Alpacas are related to camels, llamas, guanacos and vicunas. Raising alpacas in the Texas heat has its challenges. “They wilt. You can actually lose alpacas in the heat,” Troy cautions. The annual shearing that produces the marketable fleece is also critical in helping to keep them cooler in the summer, he said. Alpacas are native to the Andes of Ecuador, southern Peru, northern Bolivia, and northern Chile. They are smaller than llamas and are not used as beasts of burden, nor are they used as livestock guardians, a role sometimes filled by llamas. Although they are a source of meat in their native countries, their commercial value in the U.S. is limited to fiber production. On the subject of alpacas as pets, especially the adorable babies called crias, Troy has a strong opinion. “Yes, they’re cute. No, they’re not pets. They are livestock,” he stresses. And to back this up, he doesn’t sell to anyone who is looking for a pet. The first alpacas for commercial use were imported in 1984. Importation was closed in 1999 to allow breeders to maintain the value of their herds. Today there are about 300,000 alpacas in the U.S. with a target of 600,000. Like any market, there have been ups and downs. Troy credits favorable tax laws enacted to help farmers and ranchers, and the designation of alpacas as livestock for income and property tax purposes with helping improve the bottom line. In an unusual turn of events, alpacas may be exported to Peru. In 2016 an off-season cold snap caused the loss of what the Peruvian government estimated could rise as high as 300,000 animals, impacting the livelihood of 120,000 families. The AOA, in negotiations with Peru, cited the quality of the American animals as a selling point. Mary noted that in early auctions last year the price of breeding stock rose by $2,000 to $5,000 per animal. At one sale the mean selling price was $8,500. Troy sums up the last 15 years: “This has been an incredible adventure.”
Kaufman to host annual
Scarecrow Festival on Oct. 26 By Andrew Burnes Kaufman will host yet another incarnation of its traditional Scarecrow Festival on Oct. 26 on the recently renovated Kaufman Square. The Scarecrow Festival is a long-standing tradition in Kaufman with a history that runs for more than 20 years. It was once rated in the top 10 festivals in the state by Texas Highways magazine. The festival hosts the largest parade of the year in Kaufman, along with various festivities focusing on food, arts and crafts and live music and entertainment. This year’s festival is a joint function between the City of Kaufman and the Kaufman Chamber of Commerce and will have a Wizard of Oz theme. Although the festival has historically been split up into multiple days, this year’s incarnation will all take place across the span of a single Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Scarecrow Festival festivities will include a parade at 9 a.m. in which the best float adhering to the Wizard of Oz theme will receive an award from the Keep Kaufman Beautiful board. Afterward, the festival will host a car show, a kids’ hay maze, a children’s area featuring bounce houses, rock climbing and pony rides, a beer garden, and more. The festival will play host to seven different local bands and artists including Chip Murrey and the Texas Underground, Brandon Baumburg, Bad Moon Rising, Big in Vegas, The Darrin Morris Band, the Kenny Martin Band, and the Marcus Lindsey Band. There will also be a second stage featuring the Dance Factory and various other youth organizations. A beer and wine garden is also available. The festival will also include a blood drive from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. hosted by Carter BloodCare. In order to take part in the blood drive, donors must pre-register online at https://ww3.greatpartners.org/donor/schedules/ drive_schedule/106170.
