Bring Birds Back
S
2020 SEASON HOT–HOT–HOT!
by Kevin & Linda Pillow
ince 1970, one in four birds has disappeared in the U.S. and Canada. A study from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with data collected from decades of bird surveys, estimates that we have lost 2.9 billion birds in every biome. Our human-altered landscapes are losing their ability to support bird life. Here is what you can do help: 1. Make windows safer day/night—1 billion birds die each year from window strikes. Placing decals on windows prevents strikes during the day. Turning lights out at night keeps migrating birds on the right track. 2. Keep cats indoors!—2.6 billion birds are killed by cats annually. Two-thirds by strays. Consider a “catio” for your cats or helping with the Big Fix for strays. 3. Reduce lawn and plant natives—10 million acres of land was developed from 1982-1997, leaving fewer places for birds to rest during migration and to raise young. 40 million acres of lawn could be replaced with native plants for you and your birds to enjoy. 4. Avoid Pesticides—1 billion pounds of pesticides are applied each year. Birds die through direct contact or by eating contaminated prey. Consider other alternatives and reduce use around your home. 5. Drink bird-friendly coffee—Consider shade-grown coffee that doesn’t use pesticides or destroy the forest canopy. 6. Protect from plastics—4,900 million metric tons of plastic are in our environment and wildlife mistakes it as food or becomes entangled. Reduce single use plastics and recycle them. 7. Share what you see—Monitoring is essential to protect them. Reporting on eBird or Christmas Counts will help show where the birds need our help. 1 million forest birds gone; 700 million grassland birds gone; 862 million sparrows gone; 618 million warblers gone; 439 million blackbirds gone; etc., etc. By making a conscious effort we not only help the birds but we beautify the planet as well. For more information visit 3BillionBirds.org.
Happy Birding!

and management of disease. Dr. Miloy states, “Rarely is it too any of us can remember a time late to take action and reverse many chronic problems that get in when our family doctors knew the way of a person’s desire to live a quality life, no matter what their age or condition. what was causing our medical problems because they knew what Every patient is treated was happening in our families. Their with dignity and respect diagnoses often came through spending “I care deeply about my patients and treat them as family and friends. This good relationship with a patient begins at the first time with patients—conversations, appointment. I spend time getting to know a person’s medical skilled touch, and an awareness of and family history, as well as goals for health and quality of life. After a comprehensive exam that includes an EKG in my office, all the factors in our lives, like stress and perhaps other noninvasive tests, the patient and I make a and emotional upheavals, that could list of medical issues and together develop a strategy to address cause pain and disease. Doctors were concerns most effectively. frequently considered friends and they “Some chronic conditions can be quickly and effectively improved with lifestyle changes, including high blood pressure, made house calls! So much has changed in how we receive medical care today and not necessarily because physicians wanted to change. Even though unprecedented advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses that would have been untreatable or fatal just a few decades ago, we also are frustrated because we don’t always know how to access these advances in a timely way. Today, the gateway to modern American medicine is through our primary care physicians who skillfully navigate on our behalf.
high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, mental clarity, COPD, sleep apnea, obesity, smoking, depression, and continued on next page many more.”
An ounce of prevention— still worth a pound of cure Dr. David Miloy, Doctor of Internal Medicine, has created a unique practice here in Kerrville called Optimum Health. Optimum Health balances his patients’ need to have more personal access to him––even after office hours and for urgent care––with Dr. Miloy’s desire to keep his patients’ healthcare costs as low as possible. How does he do this? The core of Dr. Miloy’s philosophy is that prevention is key to good healthcare. Rather than just treating the end result of perhaps years of poor lifestyle choices with expensive medicines and treatments, Dr. Miloy wants to empower his patients to make just a few life adjustments that will address the root causes of many problems. The ultimate goal is health and well-being, not simply treatment KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE | JAN-FEB 2020 | 11
continued from previous page
“The ultimate goal is health and well-being, not simply treatment and management of disease.” Coaching—the game-changer
Dr. Miloy recognizes that these changes don’t happen overnight. He offers skilled coaching and monitored followup visits that guide his patients through a series of easy steps that have the greatest success in reaching those wellness goals. “Coaching is the game-changer,” Dr. Miloy states. “It’s a supportive partnership. Patients don’t have to make these changes alone. I see greatness in all my patients and want to help them live the best lives they can. I walk with them every step of the way as they achieve their goals.”
If you’re sick, you’ll be seen in a timely manner
Being an Optimum Health patient ensures access to the doctor as often as medically necessary through a unique Direct Primary Care pay structure. Direct Primary Care is based on all patients paying a low monthly fee, according to age. This fee is your guarantee that you’ll receive the enhanced care services Dr. Miloy offers. If you’re sick you’ll be seen in a timely way, often on the same day you call.
Jan Veselka, Technician
Greater access to the doctor, more time spent during visits, medical advocacy in recommending specialists and coordinating your care, and the doctor’s stewardship of your healthcare dollars are just a few of the benefits. You have security knowing that Dr. Miloy is available to you when you need him. Combining Optimum Health with your existing private insurance or Medicare provides you with the best and most affordable healthcare coverage.
Early detection and telemedicine—almost a house call
Another innovation of Dr. Miloy’s practice features telemedicine. This secure video link lets patients get advice from him or keep certain appointments through their mobile devices. “This is a great convenience for moms at home with sick kids and for busy or homebound people who can’t get to the office easily.” Dr. Miloy adds, “I also concentrate on early detection technology like screening for strokes, lung function, cancer, and other diseases. Being aware of something before it develops gives us a head start in offering patients their best options for leading longer lives.” 12 | JAN-FEB 2020 | KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE

The High Cost of Obesity • All causes of death • Low quality of life “Dr. Miloy’s program has exceeded all my expectations. From the first appointment I felt that I was a priority and that the entire team cared about me and wanted me to succeed. Dr. Miloy was incredibly attentive, caring, and patient. He’s an excellent listener, coach, and teacher. He was calming when I was feeling stressed and like any great coach, he knew just when I needed to be challenged or pushed to achieve my goals. Dr. Miloy has helped me become my best self and I am truly grateful.” Cathy Laffan

The beginning of Optimum Health
Lena Rippstein, PHD, APRN-BC GNP
“Growing up I had strong interest in sports, science, and helping others. At the age of fifteen I lost a very close friend to a drowning accident. It was sudden, unexpected, and could have been prevented. It profoundly affected my appreciation for life’s fragility. My friend’s father was our family doctor and though initially devastated, he held onto the thread of his life’s purpose––the practice of medicine. With humor, grace, and service to others he continued to practice for many years and was a major inspiration to me. I’ve always dreamed of practicing medicine the “old-fashioned way” like he did by taking time to personally know each patient and treating everyone with respect and kindness. That dream has become a reality with Optimum Health.
“I’ve always dreamed of practicing medicine the “old-fashioned way.” “I have been practicing Internal Medicine in Kerrville since I moved here in 2002. I’m a native Texan and attended Texas A&M University where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Masters in Molecular Biology. Afterwards, I attended medical school at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. I completed internship and residency at Providence Portland Medical Center in Portland, Oregon.” Dr. Miloy invites you to schedule your complimentary get-acquainted visit to decide if Optimum Health is right for you.

Heart Health & Cardiovascular Disease
by Sabrina Griggs, RPH
A large proportion of modern medicine is devoted to treatment of cardiovascular maladies. Appropriately so, since the heart is the one muscle in the body which works continuously from four weeks after conception until death. It moves five quarts of blood per minute; that’s 1,800 gallons per day. The heart has more electrical activity than even the brain. It never gets cancer and its only energy source is saturated fat.
Could it be that simple, inexpensive nutritional supplements might be as or more effective than statin drugs in reducing heart disease? Consider this: statin drugs block production of Co-Q10, a co-enzyme required by the heart for energy production. The purpose of statin drugs is to reduce cholesterol levels, however, cholesterol itself isn’t the problem. Cholesterol is the body’s defense mechanism to patch leaks inside the blood vessels. These leaks are commonly the result of sclerosis caused by excess insulin in the bloodstream, a direct result of high carbohydrate diets and overconsumption of sweets and soft drinks.
As is often the case, cardiovascular ailments have their basis in nutritional deficit. A disease not often mentioned today is beriberi, a vitamin B deficiency. Symptoms include shortness of breath upon waking or increased physical activity, increased pulse rate, fluid buildup in the lungs or lower legs (swelling), enlargement of the heart, heart failure or heart attack. Sounds coincidentally like the symptoms of cardiovascular disease, doesn’t it? When did you last hear about a patient being diagnosed with scurvy, vitamin C deficiency? Yet the symptoms, bleeding gums and loose teeth, pale or dry skin, weakness and fatigue, diarrhea or nausea, weakened blood vessels causing bruising or hemorrhage, and anemia, show still more similarity to cardiac patients.
For more information about nutritional supplementation, call or come by Apothecary Shoppe to schedule a professional consultation. This article is for informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Fruitful Beginnings by Trena Cullins
The
Plant Haus 2
Many homeowners are looking to plant fruit trees, nut trees, and berries for the new year. The best offerings are usually in January when the plants are at their most dormant point—sap is at its lowest, making it the perfect time to get the trees settled in before spring blooms appear. Before you purchase, remember that site planning is the most crucial factor for all trees. Your fruit trees absolutely need the best drainage possible to avoid root rot. Dig a hole about sixteen inches deep and two feet wide, fill it with water and wait twenty-four hours. At this point there should be no water in the hole. If water is still standing this is not a suitable location for a fruit tree or berries.
All trees and berries need at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight and ample water. Fruit and nut trees, as well as berries, require a lot of maintenance. As spring arrives a good balanced organic fertilizer should be applied in March, April, and May. It’s a good idea to also maintain a monthly spraying program for insects and fungus. When your plants produce fruits and nuts, critters will be noticing too. You may want to invest in netting so that you can enjoy your harvest. A clever raccoon can destroy your entire crop quickly. Texas Master Certified Nursery Professional Trena Cullins (#4985) has been with The Plant Haus 2 for twenty years. Trena and her experienced staff have the knowledge to serve your gardening needs. 604 Jefferson, Kerrville. 830-792-4444.

Transformation Instead of Resolution by Wende Jones, CPT, BS ESS
It’s a new year
and that means most people have spent time reflecting on what they achieved with last year’s resolutions. It’s a time of strategic planning for the coming year as well. We try to convince ourselves that this will be the year we reach all our goals. We vow to give it 100 percent this time. Some of the top resolutions each year include going on a diet, exercising more, losing weight, saving more money and spending less, learning a new skill, finding a new job, reading more—and the list goes on.
18| JAN-FEB 2020 | KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE
We have good intentions, but typically by midyear our lives are starting to look exactly like they did the year before. We lose motivation and our intentions don’t seem to matter as much as they did on January 1. Resolutions don’t work because we don’t address our internal framework. We must change the inside before we can see change on the outside. We have to change things like anger, fear, low self-worth, jealousy, resentment, or other negative beliefs. Making resolutions may seem like a good idea, but until we make changes to our roots we will not see a true transformation.
Practice self-awareness by asking yourself questions including who am I trying to impress? What am I afraid of? Who am I angry at? What do I see when I look in the mirror? Spend time each day meditating, reflecting, praying on these topics to bring awareness and clarity to what you are trying to accomplish. You may find that you are holding on to negative beliefs you learned as a child from your parents or other important people in your past. Our actions stem from our beliefs, so if you’re holding on to beliefs such as I’m too old, I’m too overweight, or I’ll never find happiness, your actions will reinforce those beliefs. Choose affirmations and thoughts that will lead you toward your new goals such as I am healthy, I am happy, I have so much energy, I can do this. Now search for activities that reinforce your new thoughts. Eat healthy food, go for a run, find a gym you can enjoy. With time and practice your new beliefs will become embedded in your mind and you will naturally start looking for people and activities that line up with your new way of thinking. Focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want. Let your thoughts shift and never let those old negative beliefs creep back in. Never complain and focus only on the things you want to create in your life. Only give attention to positive change and you will start to notice your life shifting. As change begins to happen remember to practice gratitude. There is always something to be thankful for. Start by writing down at least ten things each day that you are grateful for. This will also help keep you focused on transformation. At times it might feel like we have very little control of the world and events around us, but one thing you can control is you! Wishing you much success for a happy, healthy, and prosperous transformation in the New Year! Wende Jones is a certified fitness trainer who owns Fresh & Fit at 241 Old Ingram Loop, Ingram, Texas.

Kathy Simmons and Michelle Schmidt are both consummate professionals. They both know about their respective professions and stay current on the latest and most effective treatments for their clients. They both are truly interested in their patients/clients and it shows. I look forward to seeing them every month.
Honestly, I saw advertisements. Then, after my first treatment with fillers, I was most impressed with Kathy and the staff's friendliness and willingness to take time to perform the procedures carefully. Kathy and the staff never rush appointments and genuinely try to "get it right." I appreciate their efforts. I will never be young again, but it's an "upper" to look a bit better than before I walked through their door. Kathy is also very considerate about warning a patient when an injection is going to sting or hurt a bit more, so one is always prepared. The whole experience has never been tortuous. I appreciate that fact too!

She’s Not Who You Think
Y
ou might think of Ingram as the girl who wasn’t so popular in high school and maybe had a bit of a reputation. But when you saw her at the reunion some years later she had morphed into an attractive woman, on a track to success— and all the fellas wanted her number.
We’ve all seen it happen. People change, evolve, grow, and become desirable. So do communities.
For years Ingram was the object of sneers and thought to be more of a place to stay away from rather than attracted to. Those days are over.
As President of the West Kerr County Chamber of Commerce, I’m able to get a bird’s-eye view of what’s going on in our area. What I see is the emergence of a vibrant, thriving, and engaged community. I get the feeling that Ingram is at a tipping point. We’re at the moment when everything seems to change with a flood of new beginnings, seemingly by “magic.”
In the case of Ingram, it wasn’t magic that birthed the turnaround. It was the dedication and hard work of many area residents who have been working diligently to create a better and more desirable environment to live, do business, learn, and play. In future columns, I will share a variety of factors that are propelling Ingram upward, but for today consider just one—our schools.
The Ingram School District, led by Dr. Robert Templeton, has 26 | JAN-FEB 2020 | KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE
quietly become a leader in excellence. Successful students, and teachers, are the top priority. Students can now be on track to graduate with an associate degree the week before high school graduation—for free! This can save a family the cost of two years of college per child. Also, every student in the Ingram ISD may have a free breakfast and lunch. Every single one. Teachers are encouraged to get a master’s degree, and the school district pays the bill.
In the “old days” parents paid money to Kerrville ISD for transferring their children out of Ingram ISD. Not anymore. There are now about 200 students who have transferred into Ingram ISD. There’s no transfer fee. Students are simply required to: #1 SHOW UP, #2 BEHAVE. And there is a waiting list to be accepted for transfer.
Did you know that the Ingram ISD is the only “A” rated school district in the Hill Country? Yep, it is.
Good schools are the bedrock of a successful community and attract families seeking a place to put down roots. And then businesses are naturally drawn in to serve the increasing population of families. It’s a circular process that is alive and well in Ingram.
It’s time to take a new look at Ingram. Strong leaders and volunteers are working every day to build and grow our community. Their efforts are paying off, hugely. Like the unpopular high school girl, Ingram is blossoming. It just took a little time.

living, loving, and writing historic family stories
O
ne fine morning a little over a year ago, I decided to do an internet search for my own name—Donna Gholson Cook. You know, just out of curiosity to see what would come up. Never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed that I’d find a photo of myself with my 1957 confirmation class at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in a magazine—Kerr County People, March-April 2018 issue.
My wise and loving parents
In 1950, I was five when my parents decided it was time to move from Sonora, Texas, to a larger town. So we went for a drive to find a town with churches, schools, and a job for my dad, an auto mechanic. When we came over the hill into Kerrville, they fell in love with the town and the surrounding countryside and the search ended. We moved in time for me to start first grade that fall. After we joined Holy Cross Lutheran Church, I was enrolled in the church’s school—the beginning of my education. I could not have predicted the path my life would take and looking back on it I’m amazed at the wonderful opportunities I’ve had, beginning with our move to Kerrville.
My many good teachers
Some of the things I disliked most in school are some of the things I am most grateful for now—such as the long lists of vocabulary words that we had to memorize weekly. Mr. W. O. Doering was the Holy Cross School principal and taught the upper grades. My eight years there prepared me well for Tivy High School. continued on next page
I haven’t lived in Kerrville since 1965, and I didn’t know the magazine existed but I wrote to the editor, Diane Ferrell, and asked whether I could buy a copy of that issue. I liked the magazine so much that I subscribed and I look forward to each issue, always finding something that hits close to home with me. One example is last year’s article about Hester Window Coverings. My dad Conner Gholson, in his last job before retirement, worked for Mr. Hester for a number of years. I usually let my magazines pile up without ever getting around to reading them, but not this one. I’m always excited to see my new issue of Kerr County People in the mail and I read it immediately. Thank you, Ms. Ferrell, for a wonderful trip down memory lane! The following is the story of how I came to write four books based on my Texas ancestors. It’s a story of gratitude every step of the way. KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE | JAN-FEB 2020 | 29
continued from previous page
At Tivy, thanks to Miss Kathleen Akin, I learned about doing research and writing a term paper. Typing and shorthand classes with Miss Marvel Skaggs (now Marvel Moss) gave me the necessary skills to eventually be a legal secretary. After Tivy, I attended what was then Schreiner Junior College for a year. But money was short and I left to work full-time for Judge L. W. Pollard. There I received a never-to-be-forgotten great education in law and government.
My wonderful childhood
Some of my best memories are of riding horses at the local state park where I spent almost every Sunday afternoon as a volunteer stable hand. As a youngster I loved horses and anything cowboyrelated. My favorite toy was a cap pistol—I ran around the yard with it, shooting at imaginary bad guys. Or I’d practice spinning a rope like the movie cowboys.
With her 1951-52 first grade class, the precious little girl in pigtails is Donna—far right, back row.
When I wasn’t pretending to be a cowgirl, I was reading books by Zane Grey and other western writers. I also practiced drawing horses and tried to imitate the art of the late Smokey Hurst, a customer at my dad’s garage. I still have a couple of Smokey’s drawings!
Lifetime learning from my first jobs
I was fourteen when I started working part-time for Mrs. Dorothy Von Essen at Five Points Pharmacy, mainly at the soda fountain. Emmie Kneese was my coworker and I loved her dearly, as did everyone who knew her. After I worked a few years at Five Points, my dear algebra teacher, Mr. Morris Fry, came into the classroom one day and said that County Clerk Miss Emmie Muenker was looking for a part-time employee. I applied for the job and got it, typing and proofreading legal documents which proved to be valuable experience for researching my books.
Adorable Donna in the 1951 operetta In the Land of Dreams Come True —second from right. Donna’s fond memories include Clarabell Snodgrass playing piano for their operettas.
I had worked there for several years when I heard that Judge Pollard was looking for a secretary, so I applied and got the job. Looking back over all my jobs, I realize that I learned something of value at every one.
A rich, full life after Kerrville
How do I put fifty-five years into a few sentences? Let’s look at a few highlights: I moved to San Angelo, Texas, meeting and marrying an airman there from Goodfellow Air Force Base. We lived in Japan for two years and came back to San Antonio for a year.
Mr. Forman poses proudly in front of the building he built for Donna’s father, Conner W. Gholson. The auto repair shop stood across the street from Holy Cross Lutheran Church.
There I worked at Lackland and Kelly Air Force Bases. I later lived in Austin for thirteen years, had two daughters, and then divorced. Next, I worked at the Texas State Health Department where I met and married my husband Lew. He had just received his flight instructor rating and taught me to fly as his first student. I went on to earn my pilot’s license. We moved to California in 1980, where I worked for Chevron as a geologic technician. I joined the sheriff’s ham radio team, the search and rescue team, and became a reserve deputy. I received a college degree and also enjoyed sea kayaking. Since my retirement, I enjoy writing and spending time with my astronomer hubby and our grandsons. 30 | JAN-FEB 2019 | KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE

About my books
My dad’s Gholson side of the family, very early Texas Rangers, has always fascinated me. Every time I visited a new library, I checked for information on the Gholson name (fortunately not a common one). It amazed me to find something new at every library, even as far away as Toronto. With my findings, I first published Gholson Road—Revolutionaries and Texas Rangers, tracing my ancestors back through Kentucky and Virginia and to the earliest ones arriving on the continent around 1640. Next I became interested in my mother’s Lippe side of the family and gathered a wealth of information in the form of personal stories, letters, and tape recordings of interviews with my dear grandmother. I published Fritz and Annie Lippe Family—German Cotton Farmers in Early 1900s Texas. My third book, Annie’s Story, is a condensed version published to honor my grandmother and let the younger generation get to know her.
Donna’s fascinating books now available on Amazon.com
For my latest book, I returned to my Gholson ancestors who were some of the first Texas colonists, Texas Rangers, and trail drivers. Gholson Brothers in the Thick of It—True Stories of Early Texas as Told by Two Who Lived It, is a compilation of firsthand recollections of the stories of my great-grandfather and his brother, as well as others. So that’s a long story made short. I am grateful for my parents, my teachers, my employers, and my family for giving me the skills I needed to compile these books and preserve our family history. I am grateful to my hubby Lew for his never-ending support and encouragement. I am especially grateful to have grown up in Kerrville, my hometown! For a genuine taste of Texas history, get your copies of Donna’s fascinating books now from Amazon.com. You may contact Donna by emailing her through her website Gholson-Cook.com.

What is Estate Planning?
by Amber Thomason
Effective estate planning means developing a plan that will achieve your goals as the estate owner while you’re alive and after your death. It’s an ongoing process that involves the creation, conservation, and distribution of property. An estate plan can be as simple as having a will and life insurance, or it could use trusts, business continuation plans, charitable arrangements, and other elements. What goals can an estate plan address? • Provide cash payment for estate expenses including federal estate tax. • Provide income to family members after the estate owner’s death. • Provide for the disposition of a business at death. • Distribute assets to family members and other heirs in a tax efficient manner. • Aid in financial planning for an individual with special needs. Who can help me with my estate plan? Depending on the complexity of your estate plan, you may want to establish an estate planning team.
Attorney: The attorney should be one who specializes in estate planning. It will be the attorney’s role to draft legal documents such as wills and trusts and provide legal advice. Tax Advisor or Investment Professional: The tax advisor or investment professional likely knows a lot about the estate owner’s financial affairs. They can help the attorney develop a plan consistent with the owner’s goals. Insurance Agent: The insurance agent provides guidance into the estate plan and how much and what type of insurance should be considered to meet the estate owner’s liquidity and survivor income needs. Life insurance can be used to preserve an estate (liquidity needs), and just as important, it can be used to create an estate (funding a special needs trust). Trustee: The trustee’s duties include conserving and managing estate assets. The trustee helps set up and maintain trust arrangements according to a trust document prepared by the attorney. Amber Thomason and her staff have over 15 years of insurance and financial service experience and would love the opportunity to earn your business. Come home to a local agent that is dedicated to the life and needs of her customers. 221 Thompson Dr., Kerrville. 830-315-5433.

with Reiki, the natural healing therapy Sometimes we may feel the call to reinvent ourselves, to rewrite our stories. Maybe we’ve gone off-track in the past year and we genuinely want to reroute ourselves. At this time of year especially, we resolve to make changes for our own good. Reiki is a hands-on therapy that can be used to help support this resolution. Creating a personalized foundation for your wellness, this complementary therapy promotes relaxation—assisting balance both emotionally and physically. In this state your mind calms and your body’s organic ability to heal can catalyze, affecting crucial issues like pain management and immune system function. Reiki supports other therapies as well—including medications, surgery, physical therapy, and mental health counseling—often enhancing their effects while minimizing unwanted side effects, sometimes even reducing the need for them as approved by your doctor. Many hospitals and clinics use Reiki in their patient-care protocols. Start the new year with a wellness plan that includes Reiki. Contact Anne Schneider, a Kerrville Reiki Master with fourteen years experience. She is a member of The Reiki Alliance—an international organization of traditional Reiki Masters. Schedule your Reiki session with Anne at her Ventana Al Cielo Studio. Anne@ReikiTexas.info or (830)7395828. Visit her website at ReikiTexas.info.
