Letter from the President I believe that Riverhill is one of the best kept secrets in Kerrville. From the mature grounds and vastly different home styles to the friendly neighbors, this community is a wonderful place to call home. As I drive our streets and see, for the most part, the individuality of our homes, I’m thrilled that we don’t live in a cookie-cutter subdivision. What excites me even more is how our residents take pride in their homes.

On occasion, I do get calls of overgrown yards, disorderly pets and various other violations of the covenants; however, when we ask for these things to be corrected, they normally are within just a few days.

This is a big reason why we have such great neighbors and a beautiful subdivision. Now, if we could only get our politicians to get along like neighbors, we might be onto something.

I think we all need to take a lesson from those who live on Fairway Drive, as they hold an annual block party for all the residents who live on that street. Maybe we should all host something for our neighbors to get to know them better. The great thing about this community, is our ability to look out for and help each other when needed.

Speaking of getting together, there will be an Inaugural Association of Property Owners of Riverhill’s Summer Ice Cream Social from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, July 7 on the Riverhill Mansion porch. Everyone is invited, so bring your kids and grandkids to come meet your neighbors.

It is sure to be a great time, and I am looking forward to meeting you if I haven’t yet had the pleasure.

By the time you read this, I will have had a meeting with John Junker of the Riverhill Country Club. We are working on a plan that could help both of our organizations not only grow, but work together for the betterment of our community. Look for details in future issues.

If there’s something you’re proud of that you want to brag about to your neighbors or if you’ll be traveling this summer, take some photos and submit them with a little caption to riverhill@dailytimes.com, so we can add them to the next issue. Remember, this is your magazine, and we want you to be a part of it.

If you are not a member of APOR, I’d like to know why; email me at jeff.rhpoa@gmail.com.

Blessings,

Jeff Talarico Riverhill Board President

The bayonets were planted at the Rolling Green and Highway 173 entrance, which is the one Ed Skillern used to get to his Preston Trail Loop home.

Walter and Laura Ford on Springmill Drive won the April YOM for their resort-like front yard and somewhat hidden backyard. The yard features large rocks that create lush terracing pathways and several elevated gathering areas, as well as plantings, including mountain laurels, salvia, a variety of grasses and ferns. A grove of trees serves as a great spot for their grandchildren, who call it the “rainforest” and the other part of the yard the “desert.”

Q&A Q: How long have you lived in Riverhill, and why did you decide to move there?

A: I’ve lived in Riverhill with my wife for more than a

year — to be exact, just in time for our first Thanksgiving and Christmas in our new house. I have subsequently enjoyed many other family gatherings, several birthdays and more yuletide fun here. Our move enhanced the family time, which is dear to us, as most of the kids and grandkids are in Texas.

Q: What do you like best about living in Riverhill?

A: Moving from the Washington, D.C. area, the best and most enjoyable life value of moving to Riverhill is that everyone I’ve met is much more patient, friendly, caring and patriotic.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do in Kerr County?

A: I love the Museum of Western Art and visit it as

every artist rotates. As long as I can remember, I have always been enamored with the cowboy way and creed, so just living in Kerr County is a favorite thing. I also have a strong second favorite: I love a good margarita with my wife and my dog on my wraparound porch.

Q: What is your favorite holiday tradition that your family and/or friends do?

A: Christmas is not just a day in our family. We bring

our religious beliefs to share and be all together with a Friday fish night, Christmas Eve Raclette cheese, new potatoes and much reminiscing before opening presents.

We also practice some strong German traditions and have a major feast on Christmas Day.

Lockheed Martin. The list goes on for other pet projects, and I’m still active in the American Legion as a national executive director of the Washington D.C. branch and a trustee on the Chapel of Four Chaplains Board of Directors — a charitable organization that honors those who show selfless service and assistance to our veterans.

Q: What hobbies or activities do you enjoy in your free time?

A: My favorite hobby is telling tall tales and life stories to the grandkids, as well as other friends and family who will listen. I also love to travel and experience the world.

Q: What are you most proud of?

A: I’m most proud of my family. Though with regards

to personal accomplishments, No. 1 would be that I was accepted to the FBI as the second non-American born agent. The fact that I was foreign born, naturalized, had a law enforcement background and linguistic skills got me noticed and accepted by the strict Hoover protocol. The second personal accomplishment, is my patent, which pertains to 911 real time information and communication.

Q: What is your biggest pet peeve?

A: Discourteous drivers push me to my tolerance of patience and understanding.

Q: What is the best and worst thing about getting older?

A: In my situation, the best thing I believe about

getting older is that I have free time and money. The bad thing is that I’m less willing to spend the money and the effort, as my joints remember all those aches and pains involved with the adventures I have already done.

Q: Where do you work and/or volunteer, and what is

10 Things to do with the kids this summer

S

By Nancy Foster

chool is out, summer is upon us and it’s time for the kids and grandkids to plead, “What can I do?”

Fortunately for Riverhill residents, there are dozens of kid-friendly places right here in Kerrville, giving you many options to entertain and educate the younger set with athletic, cultural and nature-based activities.

We asked some of your neighbors to weigh in with favorite ways to spend quality family time and make memories and listed ten of their favorites.

No. 1: Louise Hays Park Fountain Plaza Five-year-old Foster Jakovich, of Lockhart, loves to visit his grandparents, Mindy Wendele and Raymond Holloway, especially with a trip to Louise Hays Park, 202 Thompson Drive.

“Foster absolutely loves to go to the fountain for tons of fun, while cooling off on hot summer afternoons,” Mindy said. “Many times, he prefers the fountain over a pool. We are so fortunate to have a park with this amenity.”

Added fun is the giant mosaic “Lupe” Guadalupe Bass to climb on, quiet picnic spots, Tranquility Island and the nearby River Trail.

For more information, visit kerrvilletx.gov.

No. 2: Picnic at Kerrville Schreiner Park Kerrville Schreiner Park, 2385 Bandera Highway, is a 517-acre park with shaded picnic tables, grills, covered shelters, a playground and butterfly garden. Cool off by the Guadalupe or rent a canoe or kayak from the on-site location of Kerrville Kayak and Canoe.

For more information, visit kerrvilletx.gov.

No. 3: Summer art camps Register early to participate in the following area art camps, as they fill up fast.

Hill Country Art Foundation • July through early August for ages 4 to teens • Address: 120 Point Theater Road in Ingram • Contact: hcaf.com Kerr Arts and Cultural Center • June 11-15, June 25-29 and July 16-20 for first

No. 4: The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center, 201 Holdsworth Drive, is a multifaceted facility that teems with summer activities, including week-long sport camps, boys and girls clubs, swimming lessons, volleyball and basketball.

Monthly family fun nights are suitable for all ages and non-members can purchase day passes.

For more information, visit kerrvillekroc.org.

No. 5: Fishing the Guadalupe River Foster also loves to fish with his granddad, and Kerrville’s iconic Guadalupe River is a favorite place to spend quality time, while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. With its many access points, the river is a fun, affordable pastime for kids of all ages.

No. 6: Riverside Nature Center Riverhill residents Steve and Peg Boynton live close to their grandchildren and, for them, a favorite activity is exploring the Riverside Nature Center, 150 Francesco Lemos St. “We love to visit places that are educational, as well as fun,” Steve said. “And the nature center is a great place for our grandchildren to learn about the natural habitat of the Hill Country.”

The nature center has nature trails, a butterfly garden, interactive displays and learning materials.

14 Summer 2018

Feature Weekly nature walk topics include bats, bugs, birds, river inhabitants and fossils.

For more information, visit riversidenaturecenter.org.

No. 7: Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp Resort Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp Resort, 2605 Junction Highway, offers day passes to locals.

Recreational facilities include two outdoor and one indoor swimming pools, mini golf, jump pad and gem mining sluice. The water park features two waterslides, water cannons and water blasters.

For more information, visit jellystoneguadalupe.com.

No. 8: Kerrville River Trail Hiking or biking along beautiful stretches of the Kerrville River Trail is a popular pastime for many, and Riverhill resident Wesley Hale considers it a family favorite.

“Both my children, 7-year-old Noland and 11-yearold Everett, love using the River Trail as a source of exercise and transportation,” he said. “We ride our bikes on it to go downtown, to go to Louise Hays Park, visit the nature center or stop for snow cones.

We can ride our bikes into town safely without worrying about traffic. Riding to town gives us time together without electronics or distraction.”

The $6-million, four-mile trail has multiple access

points, including the one at the end of Birkdale Lane.

For more information, visit kerrvilletx.com.

No. 9: Golf, tennis and swim at Riverhill Country Club For close-to-home fun, youngsters can take advantage of learning tennis and golf from pro instructors at Riverhill Country Club, 100 Riverhill Club Lane.

Tennis and swim Members and non-members can enjoy the weekly summer tennis and swim camp offered Tuesdays through Fridays. Also, children’s tennis clinics are offered every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Golf Four three-day golf camps will be in June and July. Golf clinics also are available for youngsters in 45-minute sessions.

For more information, call visit riverhillcc.com.

No. 10: Journey West Children’s Gallery at the Museum of Western Art The Journey West Children’s Gallery at the Museum of Western Art, 1550 Bandera Highway, is an interactive display of life on the trail in 1842. Children can dress up in period clothes, explore a teepee and climb into a covered wagon.

At the Club

Amenities to enjoy this summer

R

iverhill Country Club is the only true private country club in the area. The experiences we offer our members are like no other within 100 miles from the club.

We have two dining areas with remarkable food and service that is only available to our members and their guests. Our members come to the club every day to enjoy personalized service in a relaxed atmosphere, where they can enjoy some of the finest food in the Hill Country. Each month, we offer a variety of social activities that enhance the dining experience, including Jazz Night, ballroom dancing, Mardi Gras, Country Western two-stepping and more.

Obviously, our championship golf course — designed by World Golf Hall of Fame member Byron Nelson, along with fellow Hall of Fame member and golf course architect Joe Finger — draws the most attention to Riverhill. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that we also have one of the finest tennis

programs around. Led by ATP World Tour No. 3 ranked Tennis Director Garry Nadebaum, our tennis operation includes six lighted plexipaved courts, the Hill Country’s only full-service pro shop and clinics for all ages and skill levels.

If maintaining a healthy life style is important to you, then we have a Fitness and Wellness Center that is available to our members for their exclusive use. Our swimming pool opened on Memorial Day weekend. We offer cabanas, towels, poolside attendants and poolside cookouts for our members and their guests.

We tend to take for granted what a great golf course we have at Riverhill; however, we realize improvements need to be made frequently to keep our members accustomed to the quality of golf they expect. Two recent improvements include the reconstruction of the pond on the No. 4 fairway that will hold reclaimed water and the new sod we put down on the practice range teeing area. Both of these improvements will enhance the golf experience for

our members and their guests.

Our member tournament schedule is highlighted by our annual Byron Nelson Classic Member-Guest Golf Tournament, which was May 17-19. It included 45 holes of competitive golf, prizes for flight winners, a casino night for players and their guests, as well as food. This is the showcase event for our members, which is coordinated by Director of Golf Matt Trevino, a recent Hall of Fame inductee at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

For those who are members of Riverhill, they understand the value of being a part of the only true private club in the area. These things I have mentioned are only the tip of the iceberg of what we have at Riverhll. If you’re not a member, you don’t know what you’re missing.

As always, I am Riverhill proud!

Your Own Kind of Beautiful

Summer skin care musts

T

here’s no denying that with the warmer months upon us, a sizzling summer is here, and we’re all ready for more time in the Guadalupe River. Days by the pool or a round of golf mean more than just the need for additional hydration, it’s also time to focus on your game plan for protecting your skin. Here are five ways to make your skin care a top priority this season.

No. 1: Use additional sunscreen While some skin creams and makeups contain SPF, it’s generally a low number. I recommend that all sunscreens should be broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher to protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Look for ingredients, such as zinc and titanium, that block and deflect harmful UV rays. I suggest layering sunscreen daily on top of your moisturizer, ensuring complete coverage of the face, neck and shoulders.

When protecting your skin, knowing when to apply and how often to reapply is half the battle. I advise using sunscreen 15-30 minutes before exposure, with 2-3 hour intervals for reapplication. SPF is measured by the amount of time your skin can be exposed to UV rays before becoming damaged.

I recommend Sunforgettable products, because they are so lovely for reapplication over makeup or on the go.

Remember, reapplication changes when your summer excitement includes making a splash. Sunscreens are no longer allowed to claim to be waterproof, so you’ll see them labeled as water resistant with recommendations to reapply after about 45-75 minutes of wet and wild fun.

No. 3: Cover up It’s never a bad idea to cover your skin when possible. For days with prolonged

exposure to the direct sun, it’s highly recommended to wear full coverage hats, bathing suit cover-ups or specially made clothing with innovative SPF technology. Don’t forget to protect your eyes — sunglasses are a must.

No. 4: Find new favorites If you’re hesitant to add more lotion to your skin for fear of weighing it down or irritating already sensitive skin, then you’re in luck. With new products on the market, such as EltaMD and Sunforgettable, getting the protection you need without the heaviness you don’t is easier than ever. For instance, EltaMD’s specially formulated skin cream is hailed as one of the top products with added protection for those with sensitive, acne-prone skin. On the other hand, Colorescience Sunforgettable comes in a variety of applications, from spray to powder to whipped foundation, allowing you to choose the product that fits best with your lifestyle.

No. 5: Increase your vitamin C intake A little vitamin C never hurt anyone and especially in the summer. By adding extra vitamin C to your diet, you can help to naturally protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays from the inside out. Topical vitamin C, such as ZO Skin Health C-Bright and PCA Skin C-Quench,

hold hands with your SPF to provide further protection from skin mutations caused by UV exposure.

Summertime is ‘the time’ for loggia living

S

ummer in the Texas Hill Country is always perfect for outdoor entertaining. Even though our days are warm, our evenings are blessed with nice breezes, which cool things off and lure us outdoors.

When planning an outdoor living space for clients, my first thought is OutBack Patio Furnishings, which is right here in Kerrville. It has the selection to satisfy any taste and need; whatever your style — rustic, formal, teak, wicker or metal — you can find it there. Whether you have a large area or small, there are solutions for all.

Outdoor dining Outdoor dining always makes for a special relaxation after a busy day. I suggest selecting a section of your outdoor living area with convenient access to the cooking area. Dining tables and chairs come

20 Summer 2018

in many sizes and styles to accommodate specific requirements. The chairs I prefer are specifically designed as dining chairs, giving you and your guests the proper comfort for enjoying a meal. If your space is not covered by a roof or pergola, the addition of an umbrella adds shade, color and charm.

Occasional and lounge seating Occasional and lounge seating is another style of furniture made specifically for conversation areas. These areas could include a chat height table, fire pit and deep seating. The beauty of a chat height table is its versatility, including using it as a fire pit in the center of the seating and it’s high enough to enjoy a casual meal. This arrangement works well for those who have a smaller area to work with and need it to serve as both dining and lounge seating.

Accessories Accessories are the name of the game. If you already have your outdoor furniture but want to spruce it up a bit, the perfect solution is adding new cushions to your existing frames. Artwork adds a pop of color, whether it’s wall art or yard art in the form of paintings, poles and wind spinners. The addition of a rug adds warmth to any seating area. Also, new, brightly colored throw pillows can be a great addition, adding pizzazz to existing furnishings. Look for lamps, candle holders with flameless candles, plants as well as a wide variety of glasses and table settings specifically designed for outdoor use.

It is your space and your taste. With so many colors and styles to choose from, you can make it your own.

You can coordinate with your interior color palette or make your outdoor living area of its own vivid character.

Words on Wealth

Is the snowbird or sunbird life for you?

A

s the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. In the case of snowbirds and sunbirds — affectionate nicknames for traveling retirees — this is definitely true. Snowbirds are residents of Northern states who flock to the South to escape harsh winters, while sunbirds travel North in droves to get away from summer heat and humidity. If you’re tempted to take flight in the off-season, think through the costs and logistics first.

Keep tabs on your home You’re right to be concerned about leaving your home vacant for weeks or months at a time. An unoccupied home may be vulnerable to burglaries, broken or frozen water pipes and other events that require immediate attention. To avoid preventable mishaps, consider asking a trusted family member or hire a house sitter to keep an eye on your property.

Sophisticated security systems also can help safeguard your home when you’re gone.

Choose your health insurance accordingly If you plan to stay for an extended period of time in another state, make your Medicare selections carefully. Many Medicare Advantage and prescription drug coverage plans require you to stay within its coverage networks, which may not extend across state or even county lines. Medigap — Medicare supplement health insurance — policies that cover

some of your out-of-pocket costs under traditional Medicare may be used nationwide, provided the treatment and provider are eligible.

If you require prescription drugs, you’ll want to make sure your prescription drug plan allows you to fill prescriptions at its network pharmacies anywhere in the country. Failing to do so could mean exorbitant out-of-pocket medical expenses that are not eligible for reimbursement.

Make arrangements to receive mail You may think that your mail can wait for your return, but what about your bills and other important documents? Consider using automatic bill pay and mail forwarding services to stay on top of financial obligations. Also, let the professionals you work with — such as lawyer, estate planner and financial advisor — know of your temporary address in case they need to get in touch with you.

Explore living options Unless family or friends are opening their home to you, you’ll want to weigh the cost of maintaining two residences. Renting a second home or condo may offer a more affordable approach than buying. Many vacation properties are available to rent on a weekly or monthly basis. You also may want to explore home exchange networks that allow you to swap residences.

If you plan to travel by recreational vehicle, research the cost of facilities with the amenities you desire.

Create a budget Do you see your temporary move as a vacation and/or living your everyday routine in a new location? Depending on how you plan to spend your time away from home, make sure you budget accordingly. It can be easy to spend on a whim, with the intention to get back on track once you return. Make a commitment to maintain your financial diligence by adding any travel, fun experiences or increased living expenses to your budget.

Check-in with your tax advisor The residency tax statutes can vary by state, so check the rules for each state you live or own property in to avoid tax surprises. Your tax advisor can provide suggestions about how to keep your tax obligations to a minimum, when you’re residing in more than one place during the year.

Trip Tips

Traveling with kids

provides opportunities for learning trip across the globe or around the corner to grandma’s can be a learning opportunity. Often keeping children busy, quiet and out of trouble is our primary objective; however, travel also is a chance for them to gain new learning experiences. The following tips go beyond “been there, got the T-shirt” to “been there, learned a lot.”

Before you leave, take time with your children to ask them what kind of excursions or activities they think are fun. Boys and girls get more excited about travel when they look forward to the things they will get to do.

Bring along plenty of age-appropriate games, books and snacks. Better yet, let them pack and carry their own bags. Before leaving on a road trip to a national park, children can research plants and wildlife they will see. They also can read books, watch movies or talk to someone who’s traveled to the same place.

This creates a base of knowledge they can enjoy using while there or even for a school project.

When traveling by air, it is key to prepare kids for the TSA experience. It won’t be so scary if you talk with them about what to expect. YouTube has a TSA cartoon that demonstrates the process. Blogs by parents offer spot-on tips. Google “travel with kids,” “airlines bingo cards” or “airport bingo” for more ideas.

Capturing their travels in a journal can be fun and meaningful. When children are too young to read and write, you can record their favorite memories of each day in a family journal. Explore Pinterest for free templates of “kids’ travel binders.” Encourage the eccentric and off-the-wall memories, rather than the typical and mundane. For those who are potential writers or artists, encourage them to capture scenes, character sketches, stories, descriptions and conversations. Ask them to share, but let them do it on their own terms.

Taking photos may develop into YouTube videos or video collage productions, developing film, as well as creating paper collages or scrapbooks. Encourage their artistic endeavors. Some children will be neither a writer nor an artist. Support their strengths,

24 Summer 2018

whatever they may be.

If you’re traveling with younger ones, get them involved and enthusiastic by brainstorming together games that relate to the trip. Incentives can help motivate reluctant family members, such as extra spending money, later bedtimes, free snacks or dessert choices once they reach a certain score.

Game activities could be identifying state flags or license plates, playing a scavenger hunt or practicing good manners. More mature activities for older children could include figuring out gas mileage, ordering for themselves, staying within a daily allowance, participating in hotel check-in, helping set up camp or picking up firewood.

Sure it takes more time and effort by parents but, in the long run, these undertakings generate responsible, resilient young adults.

Meet the columnist Rhonda Wiley-Jones facilitates workshops on keeping a travel journal, travel writing and the craft of writing. She is the author of her memoir, “At Home in the World: Travel Stories of Growing Up and Growing Away,” and is currently writing fiction.

By Marlene Grothues

n Jan. 17, Nina’s and my adventure began in Fort Lauderdale, where we boarded the British ship, Queen Victoria, for a 16-day cruise to South America.

Days at sea on the luxurious Queen Victoria are always entertaining, as well as educational with a variety of lecture series and classes of all kinds.

We were fortunate to share the dining table each evening with three delightful couples from England.

Part of the Queen Victoria experience is visiting with interesting people from all around the world, with the majority coming from England.

Our first port of call was Grand Turk Island, which was a bit rainy, but the water was beautiful. Next, was Martinique and Barbados, where we took tours of the islands. Fortaleza was our first landfall in Brazil, but it wasn’t our favorite. Our next stop was Salvador, which is a charming old town on a bluff overlooking the ocean.

We enjoyed the colorful and ornate Old World architecture of the buildings from the 1700s with a lot of history. The highlight of the tour was the Sao Francisco Church and Convent with its beautiful gold leaf interior. One of our favorite places was the quaint seaside Buzios Beach Resort — made famous when Brigitte Bardot visited it — where Brazilians own vacation homes and come to play. We also enjoyed a schooner cruise around the bay and little islands.

However, the highlight of the trip was Rio de Janeiro, which is strung out between the beautiful beaches and the mountains. Sailing into Guanabara Bay with the view of Sugar Loaf Mountain and the Christ the Redeemer statue was breathtaking.

We rode the cog train up to the top of Corcovado Mountain to the amazing statue of Christ the Redeemer. Next, we took two cable car rides to get to the top of Sugar Loaf, where we saw more gorgeous views of Rio and the ocean.

Each day, we enjoyed lunch at Brazilian barbecue restaurants, which are “over the top.” In the evening, the ship invited aboard dancers from a local Samba school to entertain, and the costumes — or lack there of — were spectacular.

Our last day was spent on a 90-minute bus trip up into the mountains to the Brazilian imperial city of Petropolis, where the last Brazilian emperor, Dom Pedro II, had a summer palace, which is now a museum. It is a beautiful town with a canyon and mountains that reminded me of the Smoky Mountains.

All too soon, it was time for that long flight back home. Nina, a world traveler, had visited these places years ago. For me, this was a whole new adventure and one I had never dreamed of experiencing.
