event. A special recognition was given to Vega, a La Feria resident who was gunned down by a Mexican citizen on August 2014 near an irrigation ditch off FM 1420 in Willacy County just east of Raymondville, and to McCain, a Vietnam War veteran who died earlier this year. Mr. and Mrs. Javier Vega received a U.S. flag which was folded by a Marine. The slain BP agent served with the Marine Corps before joining the other federal agency. Philip said the first two phases of the memorial
monument park have been completed and it will soon get started on phase 3 For that, he said, more donations are welcome and invited people to write them a check if they wish. During the ceremony, the com mit tee received two donations for $2,500 each, from South Texas Engineering Market Development Fu nd a nd South Texas Collaborative for Housing Development. A f t e r t h e c e r e m o ny, those attending the event met on the patio of the chamber of commerce for refreshments.

Texas Caregivers Need Some Care, Too by Mary Kuhlman
Unpaid caregivers often put their own needs on hold in order to look after a parent, spouse or friend. Photo: truthseeker08/Flickr
AUSTIN, Texas - There are nearly 3.5 million caregivers in Texas whose invaluable contributions allow older relatives to age in place in their homes. And there’s a call to better support these folks, during National Family Caregivers Month in November. Unpaid caregivers often put their own needs on the back bur ner in order to look after a parent, spouse or friend, says Amanda Fredriksen, associate state director for advocacy with AARP Texas. She notes there are often not enough hours in the day for a caregiver to take a break and attend to his or her own health, relationships and obligations. “Sometimes, a caregiver may be the only person that their loved one sees,”
Fredriksen points out. “And so, they need suppor t whether it’s a place to take their loved one, or to have someone come into the home in the place of the caregiver - so they know their loved one is safe.” I n a n A A R P s t u d y, more than half of family caregivers said they were “ove r whel me d” by t he amount of care their family member needs. Fredriksen says respite care can provide time for ca reg ive r s t o cat ch up with their own needs, but in Texas, there’s limited funding available for this type of assistance. “Those respite dollars go to Aging and Disability Resource Centers, which are located across state and available to anyone who can seek them out,” she states.
“The challenge is, there’s just not enough dollars to support the number of unpaid family caregivers.” A nd Fred riksen notes suppor ting the work of caregivers can help the state save money on the cost of long-term care. “It’s a lot less expensive to provide a few hours of respite care than it is to have that caregiver burn out because they don’t get the break, and that loved one ending up in nursing home, which may result on them being on Medicaid,” she points out. Family caregiving takes an average of 18 hours a week, which in total is worth about $35 billion in Texas. That’s nearly four times the amount of Medicaid spending on long-term care and supports.
