Ways to Improve Your Health By JOSHUA ADAMS
or most people spring means trying to get into better shape. For some, it means getting into a frenzy of exercise; for others it’s medicine and seeking the newest and latest craze. But at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle, all they want is people to look to one part of their name – Health. Bob Ellzey, FACHE, president at Texas Health Azle and his staἀ are focusing on just that. According to the hospital’s research, the United States has one of the best medical delivery systems in the world, but ranks poorly as a health system. So, Ellzey, asks, “What’s the difference between a medical delivery system and a health system?” “A lot of other countries spend less on medical and are doing better than us health-wise,” Ellzey said. “We are ranked anywhere from 38th to 45th on the world-health ranking. We have the highest cost on health care, and yet we rank that low for health and well-being. We as a country focus on medical care which means we focus on caring for a patient after illness or injury rather than preventative measures to keep them healthy.” And now Ellzey’s team is focusing on shifting that statistic from being reactive to proactive.

“Health is more than the absence of illness and disease. It’s about improving quality of life.” Bob Ellzey, President of Texas Health Azle “Health is about the preventative,” said Ellzey. “More than 50 percent of the dollars we spend as a country on health care are spent on conditions that are preventable. Only four percent is invested in teaching people how to maintain their health or prevent illness. So we are looking to see what we can do to establish a healthy community.” And when Ellzey and his team
looked at the statistics, it all kept coming back to one thing – lifestyle. There are some major things that every American can work on to improve health in their lives, and it all breaks down to everyday areas that, surprisingly enough, have nothing to do with a doctor. Move it! Movement is a big part of being healthy and this one breaks down
simply – more movement means a healthier you. Taking the three ἀights of stairs over the elevator is one of the major things that just about everybody knows, yet, at times, can seem like a big task. But sometimes it’s the simpler things that add up that are taken for granted. “Behavior and responsibility is what it comes down to in the end,” says Ellzey. “The common threads among healthier populations are that they move and are physically active.” A trend is emerging in certain populations around the world where a healthier style is becoming more dominant. From Okinawa to Italy, and even domestically in certain areas of California, basic day-to-day tasks stand in stark contrast to the average American’s way of movement. But it’s not with people running marathons or the gym rats that go day in and day out. While many activities can change a person’s lifestyle, it’s the smaller ones that add up over time. According to Ellzey’s research, it’s doing simple things like opting to walk two blocks instead of firing up the car to drive it, or performing natural activities like going out of your way to take the small ἀight of stairs up one story that can add up. More natural movements are one of the steps to a healthier nature. Nutritional corrections While doing little things physically can affect your health, small tweaks in your nutritional lifestyle can have a profound effect. Just about everybody has heard the old adage “an apple a day keeps
the doctor away.” But the staff at Texas Health Azle is actively seeking ways to help people in this area – and in some ways, literally handing people the apple. “We have established what we call Food Hubs,” said Ellzey. “Sometimes buying healthy food is not always the cheapest. So as a hospital, we buy low cost fruits and vegetables and sell them at a discounted rate.” Ellzey said the hospital has already placed hubs around the area at local churches and the Lions Club and is constantly looking for new areas to expand into.
With these hubs open to the public, everyone will now have a chance to buy fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables to help improve one’s lifestyle. Another area Texas Health Azle is working on is the establishment of community gardens. These plots will create a town’s cohesion and sense of accomplishment while also allowing the area to promote healthy food decisions. Healthy socialization Another area that can help boost health is something most people do every day. February 2015 Heritage 5
Socialization can be a big aid in moving toward wellness. Encouragement in a social setting can make it easier to obtain healthy goals. By seeking out other people who make healthy decisions and those who share and boost each other, a community’s health becomes stronger. Instead of talking about the latest gossip on social media, individuals can write words of praise about each other and the healthier choices they are making. If someone has a physical problem, letting others encourage them can be a step to getting things resolved. Texas Health Azle has started a program to help with just that. “It’s actually called the H.E.L.P program,” says Ellzey. “ἀ e Healthy Education Lifestyle Program is a
specific way to help families – and especially families without insurance – that have chronic diseases: by helping them make healthier choices with a health assessment, and then setting them in a program of what they need to do and how they can take personal accountability.” In the program, trained professionals teach how to monitor health, give personal counseling and encourage people in a group setting. ἀi s way, individuals can share what’s working in their lives. “We have started doing this and things seem to be changing,” said Ellzey. “H.E.L.P. is providing education and support for those who have chronic conditions on how to effectively manage their illness. Because they’re able to manage their symptoms, they spend less time in
the hospital and more time focusing on leading healthier lifestyles. ἀ at’s the focus and that’s where we see the future of our health.” “As a nation, we cannot afford to keep going down this road,” Ellzey concluded. “ἀi s is the way it should be. Health, rather than hospitals, should be seen as the center of health care. Health should be in the churches, the schools, the city, and the communities. Health is more than the absence of illness and disease. It’s about improving quality of life.” ___________ For more information on these and other programs offered at Texas Health Azle, visit www.TexasHealth. org/Azle .

Spring Prep: Getting your body ready By DR. BRETT BEAVERS Guest Writer
s the warm weather of spring approaches, several sports seasons will soon be back in full swing. Whether you are a high school athlete or a recreational golfer, getting back in the game after a few slothful winter months can put you at risk for injury. The pain that comes without proper preparation can quickly take the fun out of your favorite sport and land you back in the house for hibernation. Here are a few injury prevention tips to follow this spring to keep you out on the field and out of the doctor’s office.
A
Warm up
Always take time to warm up and stretch before physical activity, especially before playing a sport. Studies have shown that cold muscles are more prone to injury. Aim for stretching the major muscle groups in the arms, legs, and back for at least 30 seconds each. If you are going to participate in more intense activity, warm up with jumping jacks, walking, or running in place for 3 to 5 minutes. Get consistent exercise
Don’t succumb to the “weekend warrior” syndrome. Compressing your physical activity into two days sets you up for trouble and doesn’t increase your fitness level. Try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day. This could include walking, cycling, swimming, weight lifting, yoga, or martial arts. 10 Heritage February 2015
Be prepared
Invest in good equipment. Helmets, mouth guards, and pads are recommended for many contact sports. Good shoes, no matter the activity, are a necessity. This includes selecting the proper shoes for your sport and using them only for that sport. When the treads start to look worn or the shoes are no longer supportive, it’s time to replace them. Train and condition
Overuse injuries are common and preventable. If you have been sluggish this winter and haven’t played your sport for a while, don’t come out and hit the ball for an hour. Instead, in the weeks before playing your sport, first condition your body by lightly working the relevant muscle groups to build up muscle strength so that strains and tears aren’t caused from overuse. Listen to your body
Learn to recognize when your body is fatigued. Muscle fatigue takes away your protective mechanisms and increases your risk for injuries. A good rule of thumb is to rest or stop playing altogether when you are fatigued. You can always come out to play again next weekend.
Cool down
Make sure to stretch relevant muscles after your sport. Spend at least 30 seconds on each stretch. Remember, enjoying the springtime sunshine and playing sports should be fun. Be a good sport and follow these tips to prevent an injury. Bret Beavers, M.D., is an orthopedic surgeon on the medical staff at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle.

How to avoid frustration this tax season
In a lot of ways the 2014 tax year will be similar to 2013, but in one big way it will be very diἀerent. Late in December, Congress renewed several personal and business tax provisions for 2014 that many taxpayers and small business owners had become used to over the past few years that officially expired on January 1, 2014. Retroactively back to January 1, 2014, Congress extended dozens of personal and business provisions such as tax credits for purchasing health care, deductions for mortgage insurance premiums along with a whole host of others. However, the biggest change for
2014 will be the implementation of several key provisions of the Aἀordable Care Act (ACA). 2014 is the first tax reporting year where your health insurance situation will be reported on your tax return.
The time necessary to complete 2014 tax returns will increase from prior years, especially for those who received their health insurance through a Health Insurance Exchange or for taxpayers and Continued on page 17

5 Texas Must-Sees Palo Duro Canyon State Park Just south of Amarillo in the Panhandle is another world, the second largest canyon in America. It’s filled with miles of hiking – including one trail that heads up to the Lighthouse (right), a natural formation that’s the striking highlight of the park – as well as rugged biking and equestrian trails and even geocaching. It’s Texas big.
Texas offers everything any outdoor lover could want. Here are five places “every Texan should visit.”

Balmorhea State Park In the middle of nowhere in southwest Texas is a bona fide oasis, the largest springfed swimming pool on earth, a natural respite that offers comfort from the high desert heat. San Solomon Springs water – all 15 million crystal clear gallons that flow daily – is collected in a long pool. Up to 25 feet deep, swimmers and scuba divers share the chilly 72-76 degree water with all sorts of aquatic critters including substantial fish, some endangered. It’s Texas cool.

Enchanted Rock SNA North of Fredericksburg, a gigantic granite dome soars skyward. And lots of people are likely walking right up it. Mystical to some, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area can be so popular that rangers sometimes must close it. With effort and plenty of rest breaks, almost anyone can make the trek up to the top, explore the cave there, and revel in peaceful expanses of the Hill Country rolling silently away. It’s Texas inspiring.

Big Bend National Park With more than 150 miles of trails, you can’t take all of Big Bend in with just one visit. But what a treat it is – soaring mountains rising out of a stunning desert alongside the winding Rio Grande River. And a night sky like no place else. Whether you choose to admire the towering Casa Grande in the park’s Basin (above) or dare a challenging mountain, desert, or river hike, you can disappear into the wonder of nature – terrain you’ll share with black bears and mountain lions. It’s Texas awesome. February 2015 Heritage 15
Matagorda Island WMA Getting here takes some effort – once, a Texas Parks and Wildlife boat ferried visitors but no more. However once you start traipsing along this barrier island, you can find yourself completely alone. Today, it’s a wildlife management area. A local boat can drop you off. You must bring everything with you – including water and food. You can find yourself completely alone on that island, well, with a lighthouse. Who knows what you’ll find on the seaward side? It’s a beach comber’s paradise with items washing up from countries far, far away. It’s Texas isolation.

dependents who did not have coverage during the year. ἀ ose who have every tax return dependent covered with at least “minimum essential coverage” will not have additional tax forms to file. ἀ ey will, however, need to verify with their tax preparer that each person Paul Crabtree claimed as a dependent on the return has coverage. So be sure to have that information ready to present. CPAs and tax return preparers are gearing up for these new reporting requirements. You may see your tax return preparation fees increase slightly this year due to the extra time and attention it will take to apply the new healthcare law and its reporting and penalty provisions. So with all this in mind, be prepared to answer all the required questions regarding your family’s health insurance coverage during 2014 and if you had any gaps in coverage during the year those gaps should be documented and relayed to your tax return preparer so your penalty for not having coverage is minimized. *Information provided by Paul Crabtree CPA at 150 Industrial Ave, Suite 201 Azle, Texas 76020 or 817-444-5505
NEW TAX FORMS Form 1095-A: If you get insurance through any federal or state health insurance exchange, you should receive this form from the exchange by January 31, 2015. Your tax return preparer will require this tax form before they prepare your tax return and before any related tax credits can be obtained. Form 1095-B: ἀi s form will be from an insurance company and will report proof of minimum essential coverage so covered taxpayers can avoid a penalty. However, this form is optional for the 2014 tax year; so many taxpayers won’t see one. ἀi s means your tax preparer will need to rely on information from the taxpayer and they may require that it be in writing. ἀi s form should be much more common by the 2015 filing season. Form 1095-C: ἀi s form will be from employers to show employees’ proof of coverage. Again, this form is optional for 2014, except employers with over 250 employees, which MUST file it this year. Hence your tax return preparer will need this form if the taxpayer receives it. Otherwise, your tax preparer may require written statements by the taxpayer to report coverage properly. Form 8962—Premium Tax Credit: ἀi s tax form only applies to those who obtained health insurance through an Exchange. It calculates any premium tax credit based on your actual reported 2014 income and compares it to anticipated income when the exchange application was filed over a year prior. Any differences are either a tax due (underestimated income at the application process) or a tax refund (overestimated income at the application process). Form 1095-A from the Exchange is REQUIRED to complete this form. Penalty Worksheet (No separate tax form; calculated tax from the worksheet is entered on Form 1040.): ἀi s worksheet reports any penalties (shared responsibility payments) from not having minimum essential health coverage. Completion of this worksheet involves pulling information from various sources and your tax return preparer will require numerous inquiries or reports to review…and may take well over an hour to prepare. Preparing this tax form, if necessary, is why many tax prep chains are talking about large fee increases. Sadly, it is often the taxpayers who can least afford additional fees that will need this additional filing requirement.

Gardening | Heritage
When Should You Start a Vegetable Garden? When it comes to a successful vegetable garden, timing is everything. ἀ e goal in Texas is to have most of your vegetable crops mature before the temperatures soar in mid-summer. Cool season vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, English peas, onions, and potatoes can go out 6 weeks before the last killing frost, which is projected to be March 17. Beets, carrots, chard, lettuce, radishes, and spinach should have gone out 3 to 4 weeks prior. Cool season vegetables grow best when temperatures are between 60 and 80 degrees. ἀ ese vegetables withstand temperatures as low as 40 degrees, and even a light frost. However, if the temperature drops to freezing or below, you will need to cover your plants. Warm season vegetables such as beans, corn, cucumber, eggplant, okra, pepper, tomato, and squash need not only warmer weather but warmer soil. ἀ e soil temperature should be in the upper 60’s or low 70’s before planting. Peppers prefer even warmer conditions and do best if transplanted later than tomatoes. If you look at the seed catalogues, you will see that there are dozens, even hundreds of varieties of vegetables. Successful vegetable gardeners are careful to choose varieties that are hardy, not only for their zone, but also for their soil condition. We have extensive lists available on our website (www.pcmg-texas.org) and will answer any specific questions. *Article provided by Parker County Master Gardeners 18 Heritage February 2015

Devine Art Peggy Davis shows off her art pieces including a watercolor painting of the Heritage Chapel (top left)
By JOSHUA ADAMS
Peggy Davis has been drawing and painting since the age of three. In that time she has created some great pieces of work that have touched people in many ways. But there is a particular piece of art that has captured the attention of an entire congregation. A water color painting of the old Azle Heritage Church at Azle Christian Church has served many purposes. Created by Davis, it has helped out the church in many ways. “We have several prints of the painting and have sold them at times to raise money, but oἀen we have 20 Heritage February 2015
given them as presents to new members or to recognize service,” said Azle Christian Church Pastor Alan Lobaugh. Davis’ work has been distributed to many people, and it’s been a blessing, she said. “I had the chance to help the Christian Church raise money for a mission trip,” she said. “It is a blessing to have some artistic ability, and the opportunity to use it to help spread the word of Christ is wonderful privilege. “My favorite part of the piece is the sense of past. The sense of connection with it – the stream of continuity. I think they (the church) were happy about it, and were very kind in their comments.”
Davis graduated from Louisiana Tech in 1966 with a degree in art, and taught the subject in public schools in Louisiana and Georgia from 1966-68. She also taught life drawing in a Houston area gallery in 1975. “About 1985, I was accepted to the Glassell School in Houston and spent two semesters there,” she said. “During all this time I’ve painted, designed, and drawn for fun – occasionally for sale, and some for beneἀts. In years past I’ve designed several types of religious art including altar cloths, banners, lectern cloths, needlepoint kneelers, both etched and stained glass, and one ceiling painting.” Needless to say, her art expertise is vast. That’s why she was approached to do the Heritage Church work and capture a piece of history. Using an older picture of the old Heritage Church from the 1890’s and some other bits and pieces, she was able to create a work of art that she takes pride in – along with many others.
Davis drew inspiration for the peice from older pictures of the original church (left) and the standing stucture today. (top)

3-Month Garden Planning
Tips from the Parker County Master Gardener Association
March Gardening Tasks
ἀ e average last frost date for Parker County is March 17. Frosts can and do occur after this date, so be prepared to protect your tender plants if needed. Perform a soil test before adding fertilizer to the landscape. Fertilizers that are low in phosphorous are highly recommended due to our alkaline soil. Also, fertilizers with at least 50 percent of the nitrogen in a slow release form are preferred. Remove spent flowers from spring bulbs, but leave foliage in place until it dies so bulbs can store food reserves for next season. Plant warm-season annuals late this month: angelonia, cleome, cosmos, datura, globe amaranth, Marguerite daisy, moss rose, periwinkle, purslane, scaevola, sunflower, and zinnia are hardiest. Plant shrubs, trees, and vines that bloom in spring. Dig and divide summer and fall flowering perennials. Watch for aphids accumulating on tender new growth. Pill bugs, slugs, and snails can become a problem as the weather warms. Remember to use IPM techniques to control them when needed. ἀ ese websites are helpful for pest control: http://hortipm. tamu.edu/ and http://landscapeipm.tamu.edu/. Lawn fertilizer is needed during the growing season, but applying it too early will only fertilize the spring weeds. Weed and feed products are not useful in this area because the weeds are sprouting long before the 22 Heritage February 2015
www.pcmg-texas.org
grass emerges from dormancy. Rule of ἀ umb: If it’s hot enough to work up a sweat while you mow, then it’s time to fertilize the lawn. As chickweed, clover, dandelions, henbit, and other broad-leafed weeds appear, step up the mowing frequency so they can’t re-seed. A thick, healthy turfgrass is your best defense against these problem weeds. Vegetable gardeners: plant tomato, pepper and eggplant transplants now. Plant seeds for melons, cucumber, bush beans, pole beans, and squash. Fertilize pecan trees with high-nitrogen fertilizer early this month. Repeat after 30 and 60 days. A fruit and nut spray schedule is available at pcmgaquestions@gmail.com.
Water Conservation Tip: As spring rains arrive, remember that most of our recommended Parker County plants need no more than one inch of water a week, including rain. Consider turning oἀ the program on your irrigation system and watering only when needed. Watering deeply and infrequently will encourage deep, drought resistant roots on your plants.
April Gardening Tasks Remove weeds in flower beds as they pop up. They are easier to remove when small, and you will reduce competition for nutrients in the soil. Mulch will discourage weeds and make them easier to pull. Plant perennials that flower in summer and fall. Fertilize the lawn with a 4-1-2 ratio fertilizer unless recent soil test suggests otherwise. At least 50 percent of nitrogen should be in slow release form. Fertilizers should not be applied until it’s hot enough to work up a sweat while mowing. Apply when soil is moist and grass blades dry – then water into soil thoroughly.
County plants need no more than one inch of water a week, including rain. Consider turning oἀ the program on your irrigation system and watering only when needed. Watering deeply and infrequently will encourage deep, drought resistant roots on your plants.
May Gardening Tasks Many garden flowers will benefit from deadheading. Removing the fading blooms will allow plants to redirect energy to new growth. This practice often extends the blooming season. Watch for powdery mildew, loopers, canker worms, tomato blight, and other spring pests. Visit the website for more information on managing pests in the home landscape. Soil purchased for use in beds, containers, low lying areas should be examined closely. Often, nutsedge and other weeds, nematodes, and soil-borne diseases are brought in through contaminated soil sources.
Prune climbing roses back by 30-40 percent and remove weak or dying branches.
Many flower and vegetable seeds left over after planting can be saved for next season. Simply close the packet with tape or paper clip and store in a sealed container in a cool dark location. You may choose to add grains of rice at bottom of glass containers to prevent moisture from forming.
Pinch back new shoots on annuals if you want a thicker and fuller plant.
Now is the time to eliminate dallisgrass, crabgrass, and nutsedge.
Watch for black spot and thrips on roses. Leafrollers and bagworms will soon be arriving. Visit the website to learn more about garden pests.
Thin peaches and plums while fruit is marblesized. Fruits should be 5-6 inches apart.
Prune spring-flowering shrubs and vines after flowering, if needed.
Plant Bermuda grass now. It is one of the hardiest turfgrasses for this area. Water Conservation Tip: Remember that most of our recommended Parker
Water Conservation Tip: Remember, watering deeply and infrequently will encourage deep, drought resistant roots on your plants. As the weather heats up and watering restrictions occur, your hardiest plants will be prepared for the stress. February 2015 Heritage 23
