Need A Guardianship For Your Loved Ones?

If you are wondering if you need a

guardianship for a loved one, like an elderly parent, there are a few key points you should consider. These include first deciding whether you or someone else can qualify under the Texas Probate Code to be a guardian.

If you will be seeking a guardianship for your loved one’s (termed the proposed ward’s) estate, then you need to think about whether or not the proposed guardian can qualify for a bond. Finally, the applicant will be required to provide to the Probate Court evidence that the proposed ward is in fact “incapacitated.”

The “guardian of the estate” of the proposed ward manages the proposed ward’s financial affairs, monetary issues, and, in general, the proposed ward’s assets and property.

Every proposed ward’s circumstances will be different and you will have to decide if your proposed ward is in need of either or both types of guardianship. The Tex. Prob. Code §3(p) defines “incapacity” which will help you to determine what type of guardianship is necessary.

In Texas, there are two types of guardianships. “guardian of the person” “guardian of the estate”

To be “qualified” to serve as a guardian for a proposed ward, the proposed guardian must not be “disqualified” under §681, Tex. Probate Code. A proposed guardian cannot owe the proposed ward money, the proposed guardian cannot have an adverse claim against the proposed ward, or for any other good reason, the proposed guardian cannot be incapable of properly or prudently managing and controlling a ward or a ward’s estate.

In every guardianship, a bond is required where the court appoints someone as the guardian of the proposed ward’s “estate.” It is a good idea to contact a bonding company, or a local insurance company, about pre­ approval. The amount of the bond will be up to the probate judge and depends on the character and amount of the proposed ward’s income and assets.

In Texas, there are two types of guardianships. There is the “guardian of the person” of the proposed ward and the guardian of the “estate of the proposed ward.” The guardian of the “person” may be appointed by the Court to care for the well being of the proposed ward. This could include medical care, living arrangements, medications, and day-to-day living decisions that need to be made for the proposed ward.

In order for the Court to appoint any type of guardian, the Court must find that the proposed ward is “incapacitated.” The applicant will need to file with the clerk a Doctor’s Certification Letter as described by §687, Tex. Prob. Code. You probably want to seek out and use the proper form required by the probate court. Only a Doctor’s Certification Letter prepared by the physician within 120 days of the application

for guardianship may be used to determine the proposed ward’s incapacity.

Guardianship in Texas can be complicated.

The statutes are designed to make sure the court only intervenes in those cases where an individual is truly “incapacitated” and in need of guardianship. To be successful, you will want to hire an experienced probate and guardianship lawyer to help you with the process. In most cases, the costs including attorney fees may be charged to the proposed ward’s “estate” by order of the Court.

Give to Those

by Anne Schneider

Imagine trying to transition from the military to

civilian life. Now imagine doing it without an arm or a leg, or both.

Don’t stop there. Imagine being the spouse of a Wounded Warrior—being responsible for daily trips to the hospital or doctors, countless other appointments, an endless series of procedures and therapies.

Don’t even think about stopping yet. Imagine your children that need attention more than ever, their school schedules, the bills that need paying, the grocery shopping, the cooking, the laundry, the housekeeping.

Now imagine your Wounded Warrior going out the door on a special getaway weekend designed to ease his physical and emotional challenges. You’re grateful, right? Of course you are! But your hands remain as full as they were all week…

Your Invitation to Make a Difference “Each family will receive a directory of great activities to choose from,” according to Tony. “The children six to sixteen years of age will enjoy time at Camp Stewart for Boys and Heart O’ the Hills Girls Camp. The younger ones, ages one to five, will be entertained by the First United Methodist Church’s child care.

Giving Wounded Warriors and their Families a Second Chance

That imagined scene is all too real and Retired Army Colonel Tony Arnold wants to change it—with the help of Operation Second Chance and our local community. Operation Second Chance is a national non-profit organization of patriotic citizens committed to serving our wounded, injured, and ill combat veterans.

“We can be proud of how our citizens here have recognized and honored our Wounded Warriors. These recovering Service members have a choice of activities almost every weekend,” says Tony. “But very few of these activities include their families.”

This situation is changing as Tony, his wife Cynthia, and a planning committee of nearly twenty locals organize the first annual Kerr County Wounded Warrior Family Hill Country Adventure. This summer, July 10-14, six Wounded Warriors, their spouses and children will gather for a unique opportunity to sample an assortment of diverse Kerr County activities.

Creating a Hill Country Adventure

Festivities begin Wednesday night at Mamacita’s with a dinner and welcome by the Mayors of Kerrville and Ingram for the Wounded Warrior families, volunteers, and donors. Inn of the Hills serves as home-base for the five fun-filled days and four nights.

          

The exciting mix of donated activities for the Wounded Warriors and their spouses include: • Golf clinics, play, and lunch at the Scott Schreiner Golf and the Riverhill Country Clubs • Guadalupe River trip and picnic with Kerrville Kayak and Canoe • Fly fishing casting lessons from the Hill Country Fly Fishers on Thursday • Hill Country Shooting Sports Center’s clinics, activities, and lunch • Guided tours of local wineries by Hill Country Wine Tours • Local museums and art galleries tour • Exotic game hunt led by Darrin Potter, with breakfast and lunch on Thursday and Friday • Artist Donna Lafferty’s water color classes and lunch on the scenic Guadalupe with a take-home watercolor “toolkit” • Relaxing, restorative sessions with Reiki Master Anne Schneider • Saturday scenic and shopping tour of Kerr County— begins at Camps Heart O’ the Hills and Stewart, goes through Ingram and continues on for lunch in Camp Verde; return to Kerrville to tour downtown and end with tour of James Avery Craftsman Inc. (a $300 credit card per family will be provided) Additional fun includes a fish-fry by the Ingram Bass Club, a BBQ by Kerr County Commissioner Bruce Oehler and the project Committee Members, a Saturday afternoon of activities and dinner at CampCAMP, and a Sunday farewell luncheon by First United Methodist Church with a send-off from the Kerr County Commissioners Court. “We want these families to get a genuine taste of the Texas Hill Country,” explains Tony.

Going Beyond the Numbers

Operation Second Chance cites the staggering post-9/11 figures as of December 1, 2012: 50,291 wounded, an estimated 400,000 with the invisible wounds of war including combat-related stress, major depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and about 320,000 with traumatic brain injury.

And because most of the wounded are in their early twenties, they will need decades of help, some of it intensive care by health care professionals.

          

“We can be proud of how our citizens here have recognized and honored our Wounded Warriors.

“By offering a variety of activities in a beautiful Hill Country setting, we can provide a brief escape from the hospitals and a welcomed retreat as our wounded and ill Service members and their families adjust to their new normal,” suggests Tony.

The vets spend months (and sometimes years) in outpatient care, many at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.

The BAMC encompasses the Center for the Intrepid—home to the largest inpatient medical facility in the Department of Defense. The hospital is the DOD’s only burn center and Level 1 trauma center in the US.

Volunteer—Make a Difference

Hey neighbors, the BAMC is in our own backyard! What better place than here to lend a hand in making a powerful difference in the lives of our Wounded Warriors and their families?

Operation Second Chance cites the striking fact that we have ten percent of the population protecting the other ninety percent of us.

“We’ve already received an enthusiastic response from the Kerr County Commissioners Court, the Mayor, the Rotary, and the Lions Club,” Tony reports. Additionally, the Alamo Area Council of Governments’ Alamo Regional Transit will provide three large vans for the five days of activities.

“We’ve been blessed with generous local financial support for the Wounded Warrior family adventure—the late Ruby Stevens of the Stevens Foundation was our major donor,” continues Tony. “What we need now are volunteers to help us with logistics during the five-day event.”

Volunteers need to be willing to run errands—things like picking up items and providing supplemental transportation to the Wounded Warriors and their families so they can fully enjoy the many activities offered. “These volunteers will be critical to the success of the first annual Wounded Warrior Family Hill Country Adventure,” assures Tony.

Tony concludes, “One of the wives I’ve spoken with had tears in her eyes when she described the feeling of being alone with all the responsibilities of caring for her Wounded Warrior. We want her to know she’s not by herself and that her sacrifices are recognized and appreciated, as well as her spouse’s.”

Be a partner in this life-building opportunity. Return sacrifice for sacrifice—join your neighbors in giving back to our Wounded Warriors.

Tia Aspra

What Every Tia

Stuck in the credentialing,

first noticed the problem as the office manager for the medical director of a small hospital here in the Hill Country. Due to the complexities of the commercial insurance system and the government red tape associated with Medicare and Medicaid, many of the bills were in jeopardy of not being paid by the carriers.

The daily task of submitting clean claims and the follow up necessary requires 100% of the time of the billing person or billing company to ensure a healthy accounts receivable.

Chris Aspra 14 14 ││ Mar-Apr May-June2013 2013││KCP KCP

Doctor Needs to Know coding and billing quagmire?

Your rescue is here.

Billing Services

She saw a trend developing in medical offices. One person handled the billing aspects of the business. That same person was also responsible for handling many other important responsibilities of a busy medical practice (making appointments, patient care, chart retrieval, managing payroll, and other office duties). This person simply did not have enough hours in the workday to devote to filing the claims and doing the follow up for optimal reimbursement.

“Physicians and their staff often get caught between the tasks of ensuring timely medical billing and providing patient care,” Tia says.

“They submit the medical claims on behalf of the patient to the carrier and have to wait 30 to 45 days for reimbursement. Or worse, a denial of payment from the carrier. They need someone who will swiftly and aggressively fight for their money.”

Staying Current on Billing and Policy Changes

The FIRM possesses a team of twenty-four employees consisting of billing, coding, credentialing and consulting specialists between the Kerrville office and the Austin office. Continuing education is a priority and they stay updated on new laws, rules and regulations.

They utilize the latest techniques and software to speed up the billing process, and are a HIPAA compliant service to ensure total security for data. Tia is a nationally recognized speaker at seminars on these topics as well as medical law and billing and Continue to page 29 coding compliance.

For Tia, the solution was simple: Billing brings in money, and billing requires one person or a team of people to exclusively handle the task.

Tia realized she could provide the focused energy doctors needed and help them collect the money they deserved. Thus the FIRM (Financial Investigation and Reimbursement Management, Inc) was born. Chris and Tia Aspra, along with business partner Pam Kendricks, have devoted a combined total of nearly 30 years’ experience to building a powerhouse medical billing, credentialing, and consulting firm.

With changes in the healthcare system, including a contemplated cut of about 26 percent in doctors’ fees, doctors will be working harder than ever for the same or even smaller paychecks. “That means you’ve got to fight for every penny,” Tia says. “An office staffer gets paid the same, regardless of the billing cycle. We get paid on commission, so we are motivated to work hard to collect that money. Despite paying a small commission to The FIRM, the doctor enjoys much higher revenues.”

Mandates on EMR/EHR (Electronic Medical Records/Electronic Health Records) systems can take advantage of many physicians. “Salespeople pitch doctors a system that supposedly can do everything, but it’s just not true,” informs Tia. “After purchasing the system, many physicians wind up disappointed or angry because they find that the software still requires a human element. If you don’t know all the ins and outs of the insurance system, the software isn’t going to do it for you. Tech support is often lacking, the system is not what it’s built up to be. In the end doctors lose money.”

“If you are a busy medical practice looking to streamline your practice, we can help,” says Pam. “The FIRM always follows up on the claims submitted to secure timely reimbursement from the insurer.

summer h a ir Step into

by Katie Kleespies

Highlights—coloring some of the

hair strands lighter than the natural or all over color to add the illusion of sheen and depth. There are several ways to achieve this "special effect."

One way is weaving, one is slicing, and another is balayage or free form. The technique/terminology most commonly used in salons is weaving. So when you go to have your hair done say that you want a weave. That should lead your stylist to ask, "How much of a weave do you want?"

Then you can discuss how much of your head you want covered. Face frame only,

partial weave, or full weave. This will also determine your cost. Then discuss the size of the weave. Chunky/heavy/thick, light/ natural/thin, or somewhere in between.

You can also ask for lowlights, which would be alternating in a darker color so that you get a lot of depth to your color. As for fashion, it depends on you. Do you like the big, chunky high contrast look, or a classic blended natural look? You face shape makes no difference in this process, that is in the realm of the cut.

have less experienced stylists or stylists who are not that great at color. I recommend that you choose a stylist by word of mouth. Pay attention to what you see on other people and do not be afraid to ask who does their hair. Also, go to a book store and get some hair magazines. Look at the color on the models to see what you like and take it in to your stylist. That will help you to be more on the same page as her when discussing your color. Hope this helps.

Each stylist has strong and weak points.

Some are no good at all with weaving but are incredible with cutting and styling. In general, not a rule, less expensive salons will

the past two years I have been corresponding with Dana Lowe, a friend in Rockvale, Tennessee who has family connections to Kerrville. While we are not related by blood, we share relatives in common (we refer to each other as long-lost step-cousins) and are both incurable genealogy geeks. Together we have been delving into the lives of two early Kerrville families: the Steagalls and the Gregorys.

Through our shared interests we have been able to identify unknown individuals in our family photo collections, learned about the lives of these two families, and brought a forgotten image of downtown Kerrville back into the public eye. The story I am about to tell you is about one of Dana’s relatives, William V. Gregory, an early Kerrville resident who helped shape our town but has been (literally) lost in the annals of local history. The pictures come from both our collections and if we hadn’t been working together, neither of us would have known the treasures we each held.

the polls and cast her ballot. The election officers and others remarked concerning her apparent good health, giving promise of more years of life. Thursday morning she was stricken with heart trouble and passed away about nightfall.”

1880 was the year that changed Mr. Gregory’s life. He injured his left knee while working and it became so infected that the leg had to be amputated. The amputation was performed by four doctors—Drs. White, Nowlin, and Harwell from Kerrville and one other (un-named) physician from Comfort.

The operation took place in the home of Joe Robinson, a “little residence situated in the southeast corner of the Starkey Farm.”

Gregory died only three months after his “beloved” Julia’s passing, on January 29, 1931. In his obituary, the Kerrville Daily Times wrote, “He had very little education but was energetic, a keen trader and succeeded better than many men with two legs to walk upon. He was of a kindly and peaceable nature and had many friends.”

William Vandyke Gregory (December 12, 1846 - January 29, 1931) was 29 years old in 1875 when he left his native home in Marshall County, Tennessee, and moved to Kerrville. Within the first three to five years of his residency here, Mr. Gregory proved his entrepreneurial spirit: He established a shoe shop, a hotel called The Gregory House and had a horse trading business as a sideline.

In October, 1878 Mr. Gregory was a witness to the aftermath of the Dowdy Family Massacre, one of the last known Indian raids in Kerr County. He was a family friend of the Dowdy’s and was riding to the family’s home on Johnson Creek for a visit—two miles south of the Dowdy home he learned of the attack. Gregory raced to the scene and arrived as the bodies of the Dowdy children were laid before the family. His account of the tragedy was published in the October 7, 1878 issue of the San Antonio Express.

“Alice lived long enough to recognize her mother—spoke the dear name of ‘Mama,’ and expired,” his account said.

He was very much a part of small town life. Gregory was remembered in a column

by J.J. Starkey in the August 6, 1931 issue of the Kerrville Times, a memoir of life in early Kerrville: “While going to school at the old building then on the Secor Hospital Corner (now John Miller’s National Car Sales), the teacher being Professor Ryan, the boys got together their nickels and dimes and bought a round rubber football. A jury, out on a case, borrowed our football and started a

Joe Robinson’s sister-in-law, Julia Kernodle (August 1851 - Nov. 6, 1930), another 1875 transplant from Tennessee, lived in the home and helped take care of Mr. Gregory. As Julia nursed Gregory back to health, love bloomed and they were married later that year.

In October, 1878 Mr. Gregory was a witness to the aftermath of the Dowdy Family Massacre, one of the last known Indian raids in Kerr County.

After the couple’s marriage in 1880, Mr. Gregory’s hotel gained a second story and they eventually branched into the mercantile business. In studying the photo of the Gregory House hotel, rooms were $1 a day and meals $.25 per day.

Sometime around 1900 the property was sold to J.L. Pampell and the building became a confectionary. After their retirement from the hotel and mercantile business, William and Julia built a home on a 20 acre plot of land in the southeast corner of the D.A. Rees tract and raised chicken and dairy stock. In the early 1920s the Gregorys sold this farm and built a home in the Lowry addition (near present-day Riverside Nature Center).

On Thursday, Nov. 6, 1930, Julia died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 81. Her obituary in the Kerrville Daily Times read, “On Tuesday, November 4, at the general election, she accompanied her husband to

A sad footnote to this tale: While Gregory’s obituary says that he and Julia are lying side by side in Glen Rest Cemetery, due to an unfortunate series of circumstances, the location of their graves has been lost and cannot be located. After searching for old church registries, courthouse records, and talking to numerous cemetery and funeral home personnel, I am still hoping for a miracle that will one day point me to their final resting place. Mr. Gregory’s name is also misspelled on the Pampell Building’s historical marker.

It has been a lot of fun researching William and Julia Gregory with Dana and I would like to thank him for his generosity in sharing the fantastic image of the Gregory House Hotel with us. It is an amazing photo! Who would have guessed the Pampell’s building ever looked like that?

MEDICAL AESTHETICS & LASER SPA

BELLA LUZ

by Ode Young, MD and Kathy Simmons, RN, BSN

Anti-Aging is Out

Successful Aging is In Yes, it is absolutely true. You can look visibly

better in just 90 days by using a comprehensive treatment plan customized for your skin. The range of treatment options available includes laser as well as the most advanced skin care products. But let’s forget the over-used term anti-aging— there’s no such thing. Let’s lose that term, and adjust our thinking to “successful aging.”

You’ll recall from the last issue of People, we mentioned our new skin care line, SkinMedica. Since then, we have spent a weekend with SkinMedica at a conference in Chicago, together with dozens of other leading skin care professionals from across the country.

At Bella, we constantly keep an eye on advances in skin care products and treatments so we can bring you the best of the best.

Just because we’re in a small town doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the quality of your treatment.

After learning about the science behind SkinMedica, and going in-depth with the country’s leading professionals, we came away convinced that the SkinMedica line of products is the best available. Anywhere.

To share with you what we learned in Chicago, and to introduce you to the benefits of a customized skin care treatment plan, we do what Bella loves to do—throw a party.

Mark your calendar now for the Sip & See open house on Thursday, May 23 from 2:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. Drop in anytime for your personal Skin Analysis evaluation, and of course our fabulous hors d’oeuvres and wine will be available all during that time.

We also will be introducing an exciting new instrument we are adding to our tool kit to help you immediately see for yourself what condition your skin is in.

It’s called the Reveal Imager. It uses high resolution digital imaging to photograph your complexion in amazing detail and can show

24│ May-June 2013 │ KCP

complexion issues that may be lurking in the earliest stages. With this information we can better help you get the right treatment when and where you need it.

You will take home a full-color printed report showing the results of your Reveal session and consultation, together with recommended treatments.

The benefits of coming to the Sip & See and having a Reveal Skin Analysis Consultation go beyond obtaining and maintaining great looking skin, there will be prizes too, after all this is a Bella Luz party! Plus, although we will be charging $30 for a comprehensive Reveal Skin Analysis Consultation, during the Sip & See open house, it’s free.

The new SkinMedica line, together with the Reveal Imager, represents the latest science in skin care products enabling you to age successfully. Let us prove to you that it works. Don’t forget— come to Bella on Thursday, May 23, anytime between 2:00 and 7:00. We look forward to showing off our two new babies. (And Kathy just might show you a picture or two of her brand new grand baby.)

Kathy Simmons, RN, BSN, has been a nurse for over thirty years with an extensive background in aesthetic medicine.

Ode Young, MD, has been a physician for over twenty years with a concentration in aesthetic medicine for the past seven years. Kathy, Dr. Ode and their trained staff provide a full range of aesthetic services at their state-of-the-art and beautifully appointed spa, Bella Luz. 1411 Water Street, Kerrville.

cover story Credentialing Services

Most providers do not understand the importance of proper credentialing and contracting and how it impacts income. An accurate and updated individual and organizational NPI profile is critical to Medicare enrollment and payment. An updated and attested CAQH profile will help reduce the recredentialing process, and secure contracts. Changes to your practice such as your address, corporate status (tax ID numbers), or changes of ownership can stop reimbursements in an instant. Forwarding addresses will cause insurance checks to be returned to the carrier.

“New physicians and mid-level providers joining practices is one area of great confusion by medical offices,” Chris relates. “Often providers are under the impression that once contracted with a carrier that contract travels with them, it does not and can cause out-of-network reimbursements, and in some cases no reimbursement at all; you must credential properly with each entity you are affiliated with.”

Consulting Services

The FIRM offers consulting services to assist physicians and their staff to operate a more efficient, compliant, and profitable medical practice. They will do site visits and staff and/or provider trainings on topics such as billing and coding for Medicare, Medicaid, PI, Workman’s Compensation, and commercial insurance, benefit verifications, pre-authorizations, front and back office, forms revisions, and documentation—to name a few.

Local Professionals Helping Local Physicians

The owners of The FIRM have been in the medical billing business in the Kerrville area over 15 years. With the new hospital and new doctors moving in, it’s a good time to reach out to local providers.

“This is our home,” Tia smiles. “My husband and I both graduated from Tivy, and we raised our family here. Pam has called it home for the last 30 years. We have clients all over the U.S., but we’re really interested in the Hill Country. We’re Texans, and we know Texas billing and medical laws inside and out.”

“We realize there’s a need for services, and we want to help our local physicians,” Tia states. “We hear horror stories of offices closing shop. We want to help those in private practice to stay in private practice. It’s good for the local economy too, and being loyal to our community is important to us.”

In an environment of constant changes, Hill Country doctors can feel safe knowing The FIRM provides a strong defense for their businesses as an invisible force behind their financial security.

Email Tia at info@thefirmservices.com or visit www.thefirmservices. com, or call The FIRM at (830) 238-4112 in Kerrville or (512) 243-6844 in Austin. The FIRM offers two locations for your convenience: 120 La Hacienda Way, Hunt, Texas, and 907 RR 620 South, Suite 101, Lakeway.

Wall décor is essential in creating a well balanced space. It’s usually your first and lasting impression of a room. It can be a little overwhelming when it comes to actually hanging your wall décor—no one wants to mess up, so it gets put off. Here are a few tips that might give you the confidence to go for it and get it off the floor.

When hanging art, start by defining your display space. It might be between two doorways or an area as wide as a sofa’s arms.

As a rule, position the most prominent piece at eye level in the center and work outward.

It is visually stimulating to create interest by mixing contrasting shapes. Hang round plates over a straight back sofa, mix frames of different shapes and sizes or hang thin vertical objects on a long wall. Use color or themes to unite the pieces.

There is no rule saying that you can only hang framed pieces on a wall—add some dimension by mounting decorative ledges to display vases, candles, and other accessories.

Hanging wall décor too high or too low is a common mistake. Your center piece should really be at eye level. If it’s over a low sofa, hang your pieces about 6 inches above the top of the sofa so it doesn’t feel like it’s floating.

The last thing to consider is scale. When hanging wall décor over a sofa, mantle or any significant piece, make sure the art or grouping has a width of between one-half and two-thirds of the item below it. As always, have fun with the process, there is very little that can’t be changed or fixed.

Did you know that roughly 40 percent of homeowners wind up needing to call a plumber for repairs within the first year of purchasing a new home?

A plumbing inspection by a professional plumber is a must before buying a house!

During a normal real estate home inspection, the plumbing is not thoroughly inspected. Typically inspectors are more interested in structural issues like roofing, foundations and such. However, you depend on your plumbing systems for water and sanitation therefore it is vital that they be in proper condition. This is why it is so important to hire a professional plumber to inspect the condition of the plumbing before you make a purchase.

We take inspections seriously at Holloway Plumbing. We use a detailed inspection checklist that covers everything from the outside faucet for the garden hose to the water heater. We check for leaks and blocked pipes. We check water valves, faucets, drains, toilets, bathtubs, showers, garbage disposals, backflow preventers, water pressure, water quality, water hardness, gas valves, washing machine connections and all components of the water heater.

A professional plumbing inspection can save you the hassle and prevent any potential expensive unforeseen problems down the road. Holloway Plumbing can determine what could possibly need to be replaced and give you the opportunity to address any problems BEFORE the sale.

If you are thinking of buying a new home then call a licensed, insured and experienced company like Holloway Plumbing. Also, don’t forget to ask about our Drain Vision camera. We can use this to inspect the drain lines in the home, which allows us to spot potential issues that could cause stoppages or other problems before they occur. We are one of the only companies in the area that has recording capability with our Drain Vision, which allows you to bring the proof of potential problems to the negotiating table.

arden pests and diseases are so commonplace in the gardening scene this time of year that between watering and weeding these others can almost make you want to throw in the trowel. Most garden pests can be controlled by keeping weeds down and removing debris. Closely monitoring your plants before they become too infested to treat is a must.

Aphids are especially hard to control—they can produce 600 billion descendants in a season—aphids can even be born pregnant.

Other bugs, such as box elder bugs seem to come in droves, although not particularly harmful to most plants, these bugs can spread viruses to other plants. If you have grown squash in the past, you may have had the culprit squash bores, which can kill a per-

fectly healthy plant almost overnight. Worms are always ever-present pests, not only to vegetables but on many ornamental plants as well. By spraying organic products such as B.T. worm killer, you can control them and still eat your garden vegetables.

Also, don’t forget a healthy, well fed plant is stronger and more resilient to pests, and remember to watch your plants closely and gain control of garden pests before they gain control of your hard work.

Another great organic control for most soilborne pests is beneficial nematodes. These microscopic unsegmented roundworms eat grubs, fleas, ticks and even fire ants. Simply mix them in a container of water and spray these beneficials onto your garden area.

These wonders take care of most pests by killing, eating, and procreating inside the pests. In just a few days the beneficials will have multiplied into your own army of destruction, and continue until there are no more soilborne enemies.

Nesting Season is in full swing here in the Hill Country and we would like to pay homage to the moms and dads of the bird world.

Like humans, birds are just as diverse at courting, monogamy, homesteading and raising their young. Watching your birds closely, you might get to see the courting process. The Black-crested titmouse and Cardinal males will often feed the female while the black-chinned hummingbird male will fly in a “u” trying to attract the female. Once thought that many birds were monogamous, a recent study showed not so much. The male blackchinned hummingbird is not. In fact, the female should win the mother of the year award. She does everything—from building the nest, to tending to hatchlings and flight lessons.

Most birds do the nest making together, with females getting the last word on decorating. Females sit on eggs for 12–14 days.

Males generally feed the female during incubation. Once born, both parents take turns bringing food to the nest. Think you had a hectic time with a newborn? Watch a pair of new bird parents for a day. Mom on the nest, dad goes for food, when he returns, mom goes for food, when she returns he goes again. This goes on all day. It’s exhausting. Feeding suet products during nesting season makes it is easy for them to grab and go.

Now it’s time for flight lessons. Watching fledglings leave the nest is amazing to see. Dad calls for his kids to follow as mom coaxes them and keeps a watchful eye. Most fledglings don’t really fly the first time out, they kind of hop and flit. Once the brood is all together, they are then taught how to get food and water—another enchanting experience to see. After this they get to start all over again. Whew!

9 to 5 The Musical July 12-27

Do you remember this one at the picture show with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton? Now is your chance to see it live onstage as three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. Outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic, this production is about taking care of business.

Snow White

the untold story

Don’t Dress for Dinner August 9-24

Have you ever planned something and have it go all wrong? This comedy focuses on an evening of hilarious confusion in a French farmhouse after a man plans a weekend with his chic Parisian mistress—sending off his wife to her mother’s, hiring a cordon bleu cook for gourmet delights, and inviting a best friend to provide the alibi for the weekend gone awry.

The PRMC Auxiliary

PRMC Volunteers

It Takes a Village to

Make a Bear

by Judy Jones-Amason

Quietly working from home, a number of individuals with skillful hands and caring hearts are giving back to their community through PRMC’s Auxiliary. A Bear Brigade, coordinated by Mildred Barton, cut and stitch, stuff and paint bears which are given primarily to children in the Emergency Department(ED). A few bears are kept at the PRMC Outreach Lab on Bandera Highway and a few in the Post Acute Care Unit at the hospital. It takes about an hour and fifteen minutes to make one bear and the team delivers 45 to 60 bears each month to the hospital’s ED. So, it really does “take a village to make a bear.” (Coincidently, many of the Bear Brigade live in Vicksburg Village.)

Mom Rachel Lovelace cuddles newborn son, Garrett Liam, all dressed up in his snuggly afghan blanket and cap. Garrett’s dad is stationed at Ft. Hood, and the family lives in Kerrville.

A long-time volunteer, Elouise Huff, works with the Bear Brigade but also designed and sews the “Hip Pocket” accessory for walkers for patients on the Acute Rehabilitation Unit.

A Blanket Team, coordinated by Ann Livengood, provides beautiful, hand-crocheted and/or knitted blanket and cap sets for each newborn, and in 2012, there were 405 babies born at PRMC. Some volunteers knit the little pom-poms for the top of the tiny caps.

The Bear Brigade, Back: Coordinator Mildred Barton, LaVerna Chittenden, Don and Beverly Kilmer, Carolyn MacAskie; seated: Ila Geyer, Lorraine Mannering, Peggy Peese, Eloise Huff.

Pictured are some of the dedicated team members who give so freely of their time and talent “behind the scene,” but others not pictured include Linda Hipskind, Sally Jackson, Beverly Nyitrai, Maxine Nielsen and Lana Tatsch. You won’t see most of them working a shift in the hospital (although some do) but, the Auxiliary thanks each and every one for their devoted and skillful service.

If you would enjoy working from home on crafts for the PRMC Auxiliary, please contact me.

Judy is the Volunteer Coordinator and Patient Representative for PRMC. She is a 27 year PRMC employee and in March, 2013, she was awarded the Duan Packard “Employee of the Year” Award for 2012 by PRMC. For information regarding volunteering, contact Judy at 830-258-7630 or email JJones-Amason@PetersonRMC.com.

HOME HEALTHCARE

by Kathy Simmons RN, BSN & Annabelle Lindner, RHIT

Medication Management Programs The elderly are at risk for exacerbation of their disease primarily because they don’t take their medications as prescribed. Administering medications by professionals is the most effective measure to ensure they take their medications as prescribed by their doctor. In addition, education and teaching on the medications as to their effects on the patient’s disease process is the second most beneficial factor in preventing the patient from simply not taking their medications or just taking them at random times.

Patients often need additional help in receiving their daily medications. History of non-compliance or mismanagement of meds is the number one reason for hospitalization of the elderly.

Medication Management Programs provided by home health agencies can be extremely helpful in ensuring patients take their medications as prescribed by their doctor.

Remember, taking one’s medications as prescribed is essential in controlling the disease process. You can make a difference in your health care by actively participating and seeking the assistance of professionals.

Who Qualifies for Medication Management Plans?

• Patients who forget to take their meds in a timely manner, • Patients who do not take the prescribed amount, or • Patients who simply want the expertise of a skilled nurse managing their medications.

“The Hill Country Leader In Home Health” Call 830. 895.3100 or toll free 800-506-5557 117 Hugo St, Kerrville

How to Get Started on a Medication Management Plan

Contact a home health agency that provides Medication Management Services.

The home health agency will arrange for an assessment by a RN who will review the patient’s medications and coordinate with the attending doctor regarding the right dose, right route, right medication and the reason for such medication.

Skilled nurse administration of medications is based on the physician orders in regard to how many times a day they are to be administered by the skilled nurse: • Once a day • Twice a day • Three times a day

West Kerr Chamber’s

Citizen of the Year

Tony Gallucci

S

by Anne Schneider

ome people are just naturally where they need to be. They feel at home in their own skin and they make others feel comfortable in theirs. As they tread their personal path, these people somehow inspire us to be our best on ours.

How do we describe these vital people in our lives?

Friend, mentor, teacher, coach?

The West Kerr Chamber calls these exceptional people “citizen of the year” and presents them with the Ross Rommel Citizen of the Year Award—their way of honoring and recognizing an outstanding citizen in our community.

So it’s a surprise to no one (except maybe him) that this year’s recipient of the WKC’s Citizen of the Year Award is Tony Gallucci.

Tony wears so many hats that it’s a challenge to name them all, but we’ll give it a go. In addition to the friend, mentor, teacher, and coach so many of us know him to be, Tony is an award winning actor, director, producer, writer, filmmaker, photographer, business person, and social media guru.

Locally Tony’s name is associated with Hunt School, Our Lady of the Hills, Ingram Tom Moore High School, Tivy High School, Schreiner University and Hill Country Youth Ranch.

He graduated from Texas A & M where he coached the Men’s Soccer Team and founded the Texas A&M Women’s Soccer Team that went on to win a national championship.

A founding member of Poets for Human Rights, Artists Without Frontiers, Texas Motion Picture Alliance, and the Texas Association of Soccer Coaches, Tony has earned outstanding service recognition from Camp Rio Vista, was voted recipient of Kerrville ISD Student’s Choice award, and was bestowed the Life’s Treasure Award by the Kerrville Daily Times. His portfolio even includes an Emmy Nomination for Cinematography.

Tony’s widespread sphere of influence includes helping the City of Ingram to create a user-friendly bird guide of Kerr County.

And Kerr County People is thrilled that he shot this issue’s cover—a first for Tony, but not his last. Look for his amazing photography on KCP’s July-August cover, too. Tony is legendary for his countless hours photographing student events, editing the photos, and then generously posting them on Facebook for all to enjoy. Let’s be grateful to simply call Tony Gallucci ours!
