a gardener’s delight D
id you know there’s a little Versailles in the middle of Kerrville? It’s not as large as those famous French gardens, but just as inspiring and soul-satisfying. Strolling through the gardens at The Plant Haus 2 in any season delights your senses with the brilliant colors and subtle fragrances of hundreds of blooming plants. Rows of vegetable seedlings offer the promise of mouthwatering harvests. Slender potted trees will one day tower over rooftops and shade summer lawns. The peaceful order of the Plant Haus 2’s grounds beckons gardeners to explore, discover, and dream. Inspiration is everywhere. The Plant Haus 2 has been in its new, larger home for almost two years—and customers love it.
Where can you get an expert diagnosis for your yellowing philodendron? For years, Hill Country gardeners have trusted the Plant Haus 2 as their primary source for healthy plants that will thrive in our local soils and climate. But, oddly, plants aren’t the main reason gardeners put this garden center at the top of their go-to list. The most valuable thing you get at Plant Haus 2 is free–– exceptional personal service. Drawing on twenty years of professional experience, general manager and heartbeat of the business, Trena Cullins, and her crew of eight can answer just about all your gardening questions. They provide informed advice and give encouragement to beginning and master gardeners alike. They treat all plant questions and concerns with care, because helping their customers have a positive gardening experience is uppermost in their minds. That special attention is what transforms customers into friends and those friends into a family of plant lovers. It is not unusual for a customer to walk in the door with a withered leaf, a creepy insect that appeared overnight, or a phone picture of a shrub in desperate need of pruning. The Plant Haus 2 docs will help. And if they don’t have a quick answer they’ll research until they find a solution. If the “patient” is beyond help, the staff will gently say, “You can spend a lot of money trying to revive this plant or you might just consider a replacement.”

Like a plant that had outgrown its pot, the Plant Haus 2, established in 1989, needed more room to flourish. So owners Bob and Flo Pacharzina purchased the property just across the street from their former location and with their son, Weston, built a larger, much-improved facility. Weston comes to the world of plants quite naturally, having grown up helping his dad, Bob “Pac” Pacharzina, establish and grow the original Plant Haus in New Braunfels in 1977, which Weston still operates. The new Plant Haus 2 boasts of expanded gardens, an indoor center that more than triples the previous space, and the largest-stateof-the-art, automated greenhouse in the area, plus plenty of parking.

Meet The Plant Haus 2 experts. Trena Cullins, general manager of The Plant Haus 2, is a Texas Master Certified Nursery Professional, who has had a love affair with gardening her whole life. Digging in the dirt is her passion. Before coming to The Plant Haus twenty years ago, she had seven years of landscaping experience with Scott Schreiner Golf Course, where her husband, Danny, is still the DOG––director of golfing. Mitzi McCollum is a Texas Certified Nursery Professional. The new state-of-the-art indoor greenhouse is her baby. Inside this bright climate-controlled space you’ll find indoor plants from all over the world just waiting to transform your interior spaces into a magical garden. It’s no secret that green growing things provide oxygen to the air and create a tranquil space for home or office. Especially in this chilly weather, a visit to The Plant Haus 2 nursery will lift your spirits and transport you to exotic places without leaving town. Kayla Gordon is the youngest member of the team, but she has a huge love for plants. Succulents are her thing and she will share with you all the virtues of this particularly easy-to-grow plant. She has a big personal succulent collection that includes all shapes, colors, and sizes and she will guide you in making your own choices. In addition to succulents, Kayla is coordinator of the new indoor center. You’ll find everything you need to maintain a great garden on the shelves: fertilizers, soil conditioners, mulch, compost, plant foods, insect and disease control products, seeds, bulbs, tools, plus fun gifts for the gardener.
Ronnie does a little heavy lifting.

What do gardeners need to do in this dormant winter season? Trena says, “Once the Christmas tree is put away, it’s time to get busy and prepare the landscape for spring planting. January and February are the perfect times to feed the garden, plant trees, trim fruit trees, compost, mulch, and prune shrubs. It’s also a good time to do site work and bring in soil. Our last freeze date in the Hill Country is around Easter, so with the first warm days folks are eager to start planting. We invite you to bring us your design plans and talk to us about your dreams for your spring and summer gardens. We’ll help you get ready. We want to spend quality time with our customers now before we get super busy in the spring.” Oodles of garden accessories.
What’s new in gardening? “We are seeing a trend in young people being excited about growing their own food. We have younger family gardeners who want high quality food to feed their families. They know what their children are eating because they grow it themselves. We carry the freshest seeds in bulk and can offer guidance from planting to harvest,” states Trena. “A 75-cent scoop of seed can plant a 100-foot row, so growing food is very economical. We also have professional growers who use our seed because of our high-quality sources. Gardening is the finest form of therapy and recreation. When a family gardens together and grows some of their own food, children and adults feel more connected to the land and to each other.” continue to next page
Kayla tends the plants.
The most frequently asked question? Is there anything deer won’t eat? Trena smiles. “Yes, rocks.” Actually there are a few deer-resistant plants, but no deer-proof plants. Depending on drought and availability of natural forage, if a deer is hungry enough it will eat almost anything. Usually this question is asked by folks who have newly moved to the Hill Country. It is frustrating to plant beautiful flowers one day and to find that a deer has munched them down to the dirt overnight. To the deer, they have just been invited to a yummy salad bar. The Plant Haus 2 is happy to advise on those deer-resistant plants and help you understand a little more about your new four-legged neighbors. KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE | JAN-FEB 2019 | 13

Among their special services for customers, The Plant Haus 2 staff is known for artfully putting together unique arrangements for hanging baskets and garden pots, using plant combinations and colors that are extraordinary. Though they don’t draw up design plans, they do offer expert consultation about what plants will work for specific areas in homes and businesses. Dick and Tweety Eastland, owners of Camp Mystic in Hunt, are enthusiastic customers and say of Trena, “We’ve used the Plant Haus 2 for years to help beautify the camp. Trena is the salt of the earth and doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty to make something beautiful for us. She’s compassionate, hilarious, and knows her plants. She’s become our friend and we trust her completely.” Julee White, owner of White Chapel B & B in Mountain Home, relates, “I love going to The Plant Haus 2. They know me by name. They suggest just the right plants for me and don’t waste my money on plants that don’t work. The people and plants are amazing. If I have an extra thirty minutes in my day, that’s my favorite place to go.”

Gardening is another word for hope. Few things are as satisfying as nestling a seed or a plant in soil that you prepare yourself, hoping that the hidden plant will indeed produce the bountiful flowers or fruit promised on the label. Whether you are gardening in a few pots or you have acres to tend, the feeling is the same. In gardening we participate in something deeply basic and satisfying––hope, new life, and growth.

A quest for healing, By Dana Cardwell, LPC
As Americans,
Dana Cardwell, LPC 16| JAN-FEB 2019 | KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE
we tend to buy temporary moments of happiness. But when these moments end we dive straight back into the pool of anxiety. What are we running from? Is it fear? Sometimes it takes stepping away from our current life to see what we have. This forces us to travel uncharted waters, to see how others live, to recognize how the ego controls us.
one woman's journey into the jungle We often live our lives very selfishly. And when we travel alone in a foreign country we are forced to be an observer. This often calls for setting aside the ego and embracing extreme anxiety to become comfortable with who we are. It’s mindfulness at the highest level, reminding us to live in the moment. Robert Frost once noted his thoughts on taking the path less traveled and that turned out to be a pretty good journey for him. Recently, I decided to go on my own journey and formulated a plan for healing in the jungle. I decided the journey needed to be solo in order to step out of my comfort zone to embrace anxiety and fear, all at the same time with a focus on healing. Confused? Let me share my background. As a teen, I was one of the twenty-five percent of young females who are affected by sexual assault. I later wrote about my trauma in my book, Hyper. Back in time, by then in my twenties, I knew I wanted to change the depression I felt. I did what many Americans do and went to see my doctor. He did what most docs do and prescribed an antidepressant. I tried four antidepressants for probably a year before settling on the fifth one. My list included Prozac, Effexor, Paxil, and
Wellbutrin, before my doctor prescribed Nefazodone—a drug documented to cause liver damage. I remained on an antidepressant for over twenty years. Under doctor’s care in my thirties, I tried titrating off Nefazodone but had such horrible withdrawal symptoms (dizziness, confusion, anger, insomnia, nausea, sweating) that I returned each time to the drug. Though I wasn’t depressed anymore, my brain was so chemically altered that I needed supplemental serotonin and dopamine just to function properly. In my forties, the fear of being on all those pills for the rest of my life started to consume me. Doing several Ironman races while on antidepressants took their toll on my body. I would have hypoglycemic issues, get easily dehydrated, and several times had to be hooked up to IVs to receive fluids related to heat exhaustion. I believe these problems were the result of trying to do an extreme sport while on antidepressants. Over a year ago I saw the documentary The Sacred Science, directed and produced by Nick Polizzi. Viewing this film sent me on my jungle journey for healing. I also read Nick’s book by the same title. In the book he shares his own journey with jungle healing. Through the movie and the book I found out that tribal shamans in the jungle can help a person heal many ailments. continue to next page
continued from previous page
My own quest for healing involved resetting my brain from antidepressants. The first task was to titrate successfully off the antidepressant—something that in the past didn’t work for me as my doctors titrated my medication way too fast. To truly understand my irritation with psychopharmacology and to grasp where I’m coming from, I suggest you read Anatomy of an Epidemic by Robert Whitaker. If you or a loved one has been affected by a long history of antidepressants or benzodiazepines, this is a must-read. Luckily my brand of antidepressant was in a pill form and not a capsule. This enabled me to cut my pill in small amounts at a time. It took me seven months to successfully transition off the antidepressant. Being clean from antidepressants, I advanced to the next step and consulted with different travel companies. I found one that seemed to fit my jungle healing quest and scheduled to go deep into the jungle of Peru in the summer. But I came down with a bad batch of bronchitis. My original jungle path included a ten-hour boat ride from Pucallpa, deep into the jungle. Then backpacking to camp for two weeks with the Shipibo tribe where an eighty-five-year-old Shaman and his daughter lived. At the last minute, I backed out due to asthma-like symptoms related to the bronchitis. With vacation time already scheduled, I opted for a less primitive shaman experience in the rainforest of Costa Rica.
could cook whatever items they purchased in town. The best Costa Rican coffee was free and plentiful. I took yoga classes, got massages on the beach, drank coconut water from fresh coconuts, and went for long walks on the rocky beach looking for heart-shaped rocks. I received so many valuable life lessons during my three days in Dominical. After the wonderful beach stay, I set off on the next part of my journey—the rainforest. Arriving at the Florestral Jungle Retreat I immediately felt unwelcomed by the owner and her arguing children. The woman is from Canada and her shaman husband is from Israel. She said very few words to me and appeared a bit passive-aggressive or deeply distracted. I arrived a day prior to the other people coming to the retreat, so perhaps this was an imposition.
“There are things and moments out of our control. When we learn to take them as they come and focus on ‘this too shall pass,’ we learn to be truly happy in each moment. Happiness is not bought or given to us—it’s finding a way.”
I found that just arranging travel, shuttles, and taxis in a foreign country is a big challenge itself, and not for the feeble-minded person. My Costa Rica flight into San Jose was to be followed the next day by a four and a half-hour shuttle drive to Dominical beach. That leg of the journey, however, was postponed from a 9 a.m. pick up to a 2 p.m. pick up. Apparently one must be flexible when on Costa time.
The shuttle driver appeared angry and drove dangerously through the rain and curvy mountain roads. Our drive included traversing a 14,000-foot mountain to get up and over to the other side where the beach town Dominical nestled on the Pacific Coast. I arrived stressed and highly anxious after the lifethreatening ride. Dominical is a very small town where people from all over the world travel to surf. With its dirt roads, the town looks as if it’s set in the 1800s and the many hostels offer affordable stays. I chose Cool Vibes hostel, along with many young world travelers. While many shared dorm-style rooms, I picked a private room. The community kitchen was large and visitors 18| JAN-FEB 2019 | KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE
After sitting alone in the jungle commons area, a man appeared. He was a regular at the retreats and offered to show me around the compound and to my cabana. The toilet was a football field away from my lodging and my guide told me if I needed to pee I should go in nature, out on the grass. The nonhelpful sign in the composting toilet outhouse read, “Poo only, no pee in here.” Then there was my cabana with mesh wire for windows and a metal roof with eight inches of open-air space from the walls to the roof. That night’s uninvited visitors included a large lizard, mosquitoes, bugs, and the biggest moth I’ve ever seen. A howler monkey yelled all night from the tree outside my window.
Ultimately, the place called Florestral and touted as a shamanic jungle experience turned out to be a hippie hollow commune with some out-of-sorts characters. As a Christian, I felt the place was a little too New Age-mystical for me—not the true tribal healing with indigenous people that I originally set out to experience. That’s when I realized that the beach town of Dominical was my healing. Staying there at Cool Vibes hostel with people from Europe, Russia, the U.K., the Americas, and more, had its own healing vibe for me. The owners were so welcoming, the place was so chill, I realized that is where I received the reset I was looking for on this quest. The yoga, the daily coconut waters, and massages all contributed to a 360-degree reset. My advice to you? If you’ve had a traumatic event in your life, don’t go directly to a doctor for medication. I recommend therapy first. I did my healing in reverse order—I went to the doctor first and then went for therapy. Though there are

genetic components to consider and times when people do need psychotropic medications, I don’t believe these should be the first option. A patient should not have to travel around the world to be set free from the damage caused by over twenty years of antidepressant use. Traumatized individuals tend to have heightened arousal symptoms which may include hypervigilance, exaggerated startle responses (jumpy), problems focusing, sleep disturbances, irritability, and outbursts of anger. In my twenties, I certainly experienced all those symptoms and had a hard time managing the stress of everyday life and being a single female. No matter how big or small one’s trauma may be, a pill is only a BandAid covering up the wound. Just because a wound is camouflaged with a pill doesn’t mean it’s gone away. The subconscious mind remembers. Each time I took an antidepressant I essentially was covering up my wound/trauma with a Band-Aid. Once the trauma was dealt with in therapy, I became so used to the chemically altered Band-Aid that I couldn’t function properly without it. Back then if I had received EMDR psychotherapy treatment—something I offer in my counseling practice—I know deep down I never would have needed any antidepressants. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, allows those traumatic events to pass through adaptive information processing and heal in a therapeutic manner. With EMDR “processing occurs when the emotional material in the limbic system is allowed to link up with the more cognitively oriented functions of the frontal lobe.” (Marich, 2011) Marich points out that as humans we rely on all three brain areas to function: the reptilian area, the limbic area, and the more developed frontal lobe.
. . . no matter how big or small one’s trauma may be, a pill is only a Band-Aid covering up the wound.
“Many cognitive therapies are primarily designed to activate and work with the frontal lobe. Although talk therapy can help a person process, it is primarily a function of the frontal lobe. A person can talk all he/she wants but until the person can address it at the limbic level, blockage traumas will likely stay stuck.” EMDR helps a person move through the trauma to become unstuck and live a productive life. If you are interested in natural alternatives to prescribed medication I recommend The Mood Cure by Julia Ross (2002)—a holistic approach to overcome depression, anxiety, stress, and irritability. Julia’s plan can help eliminate the four most common mood imbalances. Namaste and peace be with you for healing and living a blissful life. Dana Cardwell is a licensed professional counselor.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WE LL N ESS
You’ll catch your death of cold! by Sabrina Griggs, RPH ut not if you guard your immunity. The key to a strong immune system is good nutrition. Sadly the food we eat today is less nutritious than in previous decades. Grains, fruits, and vegetables have been selectively bred to produce more volume (and of course more dollars) to the detriment of their nutrient value. Hence we must rely on supplements to get adequate nutrition. However, not all supplements are the same. You should always purchase supplements from a trusted source and formulated by reputable manufacturers.
B
Basic immune system support starts with vitamin C and zinc. Vitamins A, B6 and E as well as the mineral selenium in appropriate amounts can also be beneficial. Herbs such as elderberry, ginger, and Echinacea can help protect against seasonal infections. Beta glucans also provide immune system benefits. These are derived from two primary sources, fungi (mushrooms and yeast) and oats. Fungal beta glucans provide stronger immune support, however those from grain are more useful in controlling cholesterol and triglycerides. Colostrum, which is the milk from mammals produced during the first three days of their babies’ lives, is a superior source of antibodies. This is particularly useful for individuals who cannot take antibiotics. Both colostrum and beta glucans directly increase the body’s ability to ward off viral infection. Probiotics and prebiotics also support the body’s immune response. Probiotics should always be taken when you are taking any antibiotics, and for a week after the antibiotic treatment is concluded, as antibiotics kill the beneficial flora in the digestive tract as well as the harmful bacteria which are their intended target. Low vitamin D levels may be a key factor in the prevalence of upper respiratory infections during the winter season. Shorter periods of sunlight coupled with cooler weather keep people indoors, which reduces the body’s natural production of vitamin D. Oscillococcinum, a homeopathic preparation, can relieve flu-like symptoms. 20| JAN-FEB 2019 | KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE
Sufficient rest and exercise also play a role in staying healthy. Studies have shown that poor sleep habits, inactivity, and stress play a major role in reducing the ability to fight infection. A healthy body is the product of a healthy lifestyle. At the Apothecary Shoppe we carry a wide variety of nutritional supplements, natural source vitamins, herbal, homeopathic, and holistic remedies from many trusted brands. From Michael’s Naturopathic Programs comes Quick Immune Response and Garlic & Goldenseal Oil eardrops. For sore throat we have Thayers Slippery Elm Lozenges, TheraZinc Spray from Quantum Health, Douglas Laboratories’ Zinc Lozenges, Silver Biotics Lozenges, elderberry in lozenges, tinctures, and syrup, Maty’s natural cough syrups, and AllerDHQ to ease sinus symptoms. We also have essential oils and smudging products from Taos Herb Company. Indigenous people have used smudging to promote wellness, attributing a spiritual cause, but recent scientific studies have shown that the smoke from smudging materials actually kills airborne bacteria.

Cold Outside it’s
Come See Us at Our New Location ! by Kevin & Linda Pillow
How do birds cope with cold weather? Like us, they’re warm blooded, which means they maintain a constant body temperature of about 106 degrees. To generate and maintain enough heat, they’ve come up with several strategies—some similar to our own. Humans know all about cuddling up to generate extra warmth and so do birds. It is not unusual to have fifteen wrens huddled together in a roosting pocket to keep warm. Sparrows do this in bushes. Birds try to minimize their total surface area by tucking their head and feet, which aids in heat retention. Big birds like geese often grow an extra set of insulating downy feathers to put on extra insulation. Many birds do what we do in the winter—put on extra weight! Birds will put on fat as both an insulator and an energy source. Birds like chickadees spend most of their day seeking out high fat foods to put on more than 10% of their body weight. Offering high-fat food sources is a way we can help them survive a frosty night. Some birds save energy by allowing their internal thermostat to drop as much as 22 degrees from their daytime level, known as regulated hypothermia. A version of torpor. True torpor is not common in winter birds because the morning warm up would take too much extra energy. They will however, puff up their feathers to keep warm. Who hasn’t seen a bird all fluffed up twice their size? When they puff up, they trap air for insulation and can create a buffer of more than 70 degrees from the cold winter air and their skin. How cool is that? This winter offer up some tasty, high-fat foods and the birds will benefit from your buffet and you’ll have a front-row seat to enjoy the show!

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Reasons to
KEEP CALM and Keep Calm and Carry On … a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 in preparation for World War II has been adopted by Boerne Performing Arts as a motivational slogan in preparation for its 2019 Season. Another popular World War II poster in America—We Can Do It—has also become a motto for Boerne Performing Arts. This allvolunteer organization continues to do it … bringing world-class professional performing arts organizations to the Texas Hill Country for its eighth season.
Keep Calm and Dance On … as Boerne Performing Arts’ 2019 Season literally kicks off. On February 22, 2019, the Trinity Irish Dance Company will dazzle their way into town with their hard-driving percussive foot action, lightning-fast agility, and aerial grace. A prelude to St. Patrick’s Day, this “totally winning, witty, and sassy” show (New York Post) will entertain your family with traditional Irish Dancing and music. Everything you expect, but like nothing you’d imagine!
Keep Calm and Strum On … with Boerne Performing Arts’ first group direct from Great Britain. From the chart-topping renditions of such western hits as The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly to pop music guru Elton John’s Pinball Wizard, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is just plain entertaining. A concert by The Ukulele Orchestra is funny, virtuosic, twanging, awesome, and foot-stomping. Featuring the bonsai guitar, a menagerie of voices, and brilliant British humor, the Ukes performs regularly to sell-out audiences at Royal Albert Hall in London (that’s over 5,000 indoor seats, and another 10,000 listening outside in Hyde Park). The Boerne performance is sandwiched between performances in Santa Fe and San Diego. Considered a national institution in the UK, this all-singing, all-strumming ensemble will perform in Boerne on March 26, 2019. A night of hilarity!

I Can’t Keep Calm because We’re Swinging! After 25 years, 11 records, over 2800 live shows, and countless appearances in film and television, the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy band will make their first ever appearance in Boerne, Texas. Do they perform big shows? What would you say about the Superbowl Halftime Show with Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan, and Savion Glover? Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s horn-infused music and legendary high energy show introduces swing to all generations. It is cool to swing and April 5, 2019, should have folks dancin’ in the aisles as Boerne Performing Arts’ eighth season draws to a close!
TUESDAY MARCH 26
So Keep Calm and Carry On with a ticket to a Boerne Performing Arts’ event. You will keep calm by driving in Boerne (instead of having to drive to San Antonio or Austin to see shows of this quality) and you will be able to carry on with your obligations after having a night out on the town. Keeping even calmer? There are no parking fees at the venue. All shows begin at 7:30 p.m. at Boerne Champion Auditorium (201 Charger Blvd). Single tickets ($20-$60) and season tickets for the threeconcert 2019 shows ($50-$170) are available online at BoernePerformingArts.com, by phone (830-331-9079), or in person at the Boerne Chamber of Commerce (121 S.

Looking Back a chronicle of Kerr County History “It is my opinion a community needs to know its story. A good story helps build a good community, and knowing how this place got its start is an important part of its story.” Joe Herring Jr Looking Back is Joe Herring’s third book
about Kerr County history. A collection of his columns written for the Kerrville Daily Times from 2013-2018, Joe uses historic photographs and maps—some published for the first time— to illustrate the book’s stories. While it’s not a history book, reading through a few of the columns you can learn a little Texas Hill Country history. Joe’s book involves hours of research, often from letters, journals, and historic newspapers. He tells these stories with humor and kindness.

Excerpt from Joe Herring’s third book, Looking Back: “And so a few stories about our home have been written down and saved. We follow those who came before us, and it’s our duty to enjoy what they left us and to take care of it. Like us, they had a measure of caliche grit in their bodies, and when they were thirsty, they drank from our Guadalupe River. The same green hills surrounded them, and the Texas sun shone on their faces. At night the same stars watched over them. We are only caretakers of this place, of these stories, of the memory of those who lived here before us. Soon others will stand where we stand today.”

Magic 1-2-3 Obedience! by Lainie Johnson
The Parenting Resource Center
C
hildren learn from experiences in their lives. Frequently parents don’t want to make the same mistakes their parents made, so they go to the other extreme by having no expectations of their children and not disciplining them. They were not disciplined correctly in their own childhood and they are determined to not do that to their children. Some parents grew up with discipline as harsh punishment—not the best way to raise children.
Discipline means teaching and training, and involves consequences for actions, but never includes harm. But when children learn that they can ignore their parents’ requests to stop running in the house or stop fighting with their sibling, or many other requests, parents will typically respond by repeating their request over and over, getting louder each time. Have you ever done this? Your child didn’t defy you because he couldn’t hear you and the only one who gets upset by this louder and louder voice is the parent. It causes frustration on the part of the parent and eventually can lead to something that is later regretted. This is a common cause of child abuse. Wouldn’t it be better if your child obeyed the first time you made the request?

1-2-3 Magic is a class used at the Parenting Resource Center that teaches parents how to have healthy control in every situation so that their children learn respect for authority and grow up to be successful members of society. Created by Dr. Tom Phelan, 1-2-3 Magic is effective, with quick results for all ages and challenges. When a child learns at an early age that there are unwanted consequences to disobedience, they will follow along a natural path of obedience. Some unwanted consequences might be taking away their favorite movie for a specific period of time, dependent on the severity of the disobedience. Also, remember that an action that might be deemed disobedience for an eight-year-old, is not disobedience for a two-year-old. Parents need to adjust their expectations according to the child’s age. Holding your child accountable, while being loving and demanding is the best type of parenting. This will give your children a secure foundation so that they can grow into responsible, successful adults. Lainie Johnson is the Executive Director of The Pregnancy Resource Center. To learn more, contact ThePregnancyResourCenter.org. The center offers free parenting classes, on an individual and confidential basis, to address whatever concerns you may have about your child—from conception to age twelve.

PRMC Volunteer Auxiliary by Judy Jones
introducing our New Volunteers for a New Year
M
ore than 85 women and men now serve in the Peterson Regional Medical Center Auxiliary—including crafters and chaplains. Volunteers choose their shifts and some prefer working with people while others enjoy behind-the-scenes activities. Giving back to the community is the main reason given for volunteering, but all enjoy employing old skills, perhaps learning new ones, plus the friendships shared during lunches, meetings, fund-raisers, and other auxiliary activities.
Ellen Lynch
Donna Finley is a returnee, having previously volunteered for four years, then taking a leave of absence for two years. She was heartily welcomed back and is enjoying her time in occupational health, doing clerical work and telephoning patients to remind them of appointments. Retiring after 40 years as an RN, nine of them in surgical services here at PRMC, Ellen Lynch returned home, but this time as a volunteer. She enjoys working at the Information Desk where she answers phones, delivers mail, papers, and flowers, as well as escorts visitors to various offices and departments in the hospital. After a recent move from Houston to Kerrville, Glenda Jackson lost no time in connecting with the PRMC Auxiliary. “I have always cared for people, usually in a healthcare environment,” states Glenda. She is now happily working a shift at the Information Desk where she hopes to meet new people and continue her lifelong philanthropy.
Glenda Jackson
Pam Edmondson
After recently retiring from a local school district as an educational diagnostician and finding time on her hands, Pam Edmondson took the advice of a relative in the healthcare profession: look to the hospital. She is finding the ambience professional and kind, and in turn, her smiling face and people skills are much appreciated at the Information Desk. To learn about volunteering opportunities, call Judy Jones, PRMC Volunteer Coordinator and Patient Advocate, at 830-258-7630. Photo Courtesy E.J. Amason 38| JAN-FEB 2019 | KERR COUNTY PEOPLE MAGAZINE
