n the last article we talked about our definition of homesteading. Here we’d like to address reasons WHY people homestead. If you were going to homestead, what would be your reason? Do you want to work in the peaceful outdoors? Are you preparing for a zombie apocalypse? Do you imagine yourself surrounded by adorable baby animals? Although these may seem like good reasons for homesteading, there are more practical reasons, such as: *Growing and raising your own food: Whether it is meat or vegetable, growing your own food has many benefits. You’ll be less dependent on others for your food, it can be grown and raised organically, and it can be fresh and free of preservatives. You would also be able to incorporate unique varieties of fruits and vegetables (such as purple carrots) that would not normally be found in your local grocery store. *Increased physical activity: homesteading is a lifestyle, a lifestyle that is full of physical activity. Taking care of animals, gardening, building projects… all of this requires labor intensive work. Running a homestead is a full body workout. Not only will you become physically active, but the activities you do will produce tangible results. Many people enjoy building projects and working with their hands; homesteading gives them the opportunity to do just that. *General preparedness: We all know the damaging effects of a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or tornado. Homesteading is about self sustaining and being able to take care of yourself in a natural or unnatural disaster. Those are three main reasons for homesteading. There many more, and your reasons might be different. To learn even more and get hands-on experience, join us at Grace Heritage Ranch for our Saturday morning tours. We are located just 30 minutes northeast of Harlingen near Santa Monica. Please visit us at www.GraceHeritageRanch.com or www.Facebook.com/VisitGHR .

Avoid Summer Tragedy: Never Leave Kids In Cars John Michaelson AUSTIN – It’s a parent’s worst nightmare, but it happens every summer: kids suffer heatstroke and, in some cases, die after being left in hot cars. Registered nurse Phyllis Larimore points out that children left inside a vehicle can suffer fatal hyperthermia in just minutes,
even when the outside temperature is mild. She says a change in routine is often behind these tragedies. “Children have stopped going to school, and so there’s something new, or someone else is taking them to the daycare,” says Larimore. “These things happen across all socioeconomic strata, all types of parents.”
According to the website KidsAndCars.org, nearly 400 children in America have died in hot cars in the last decade, an average of 38 deaths per year. The summer heat and humidity can also spell trou-
ble for kids who spend time outdoors, as a child’s body heats up much faster than an adult’s. Dr. Eric Kirkendall says that makes them more susceptible to heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heatstroke.
CHAPLAINS OFFER BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUPS TO CONSOLE THOSE GRIEVING LOSS OF A LOVED ONE
The Chaplains at the Valley Baptist Department of Pastoral Services also offer three Bereavement Support Groups, which are free and open to the public, for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one: • BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP This group is designed to give tools and support to those who are grieving. The group meets at Valley Baptist Medical Center – Harlingen, in the Boggus Education Pavilion, across the street from the Emergency Room, in Room 1 on the first four Tuesdays of every month, at 6 p.m. • BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP F O R PA R E N T S W H O H AV E EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF A BABY - This group is for parents who are experiencing the loss of a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or newborn death. • C O M PA S S I O N AT E F R I E N D S SUPPORT GROUP - This group is for parents who have lost a child / children, no matter the age of the child. The group meets the 1st Tuesday of odd number months (January, March, May, July, September, and November) from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Boggus Education Pavilion, Room 5. For more information on any of the support groups, please contact Valley Baptist Pastoral Services at (956) 389-1194.

Fourth Endangered Ocelot Killed on State Hwy 100
A male ocelot was killed on State Highway 100 between Laguna Vista and Los Fresnos, Texas, on July 9, 2014. The cat was discovered by a member of the public who reported the incident to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Found along the concrete traffic barrier, the wild cat’s injuries are consistent with a vehicular collision. It is the fourth documented endangered ocelot killed by a vehicle on this stretch of highway and is the third in the last four years since the concrete traffic barrier was constructed. The ocelot was one of 12 being monitored by the Service at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). The loss of this ocelot is significant in that he was 20% of the current breeding male population at the Refuge. Ocelots are a federally listed endangered species whose historic range in the U.S. extended from South Texas up into Arkansas and Louisiana, but is now reduced to less than 50 animals, mostly in south Texas. Though loss of habitat is the single greatest threat to the cats, an estimated 40% of ocelots from the Refuge, studied over a 30-year period, have died as a result of being struck
deadly hazard for the cats. Scientific studies have shown that wildlife crossings, an under-the-road passage with fencing to funnel animals to it, are very effective at keeping wildlife off roads. Crossings have been successful in south Florida where vehicle collisions with endangered Florida panthers were a huge threat to their existence. Locally, an existing wildlife crossing on State Highway 48, near the Refuge’s Bahia Grande Unit, has been used by bobcats, raccoons and coyotes. “Under road wildlife crossings can play an important role in alleviating unnecessary ocelot deaths” says Zone Biologist Mitch
by a vehicle. “We believe the concrete barrier is contributing to the increase in ocelot deaths by vehicles in this area” stated Laguna Atascosa Refuge Manager Boyd Blihovde. “Many animals will not, or cannot, jump them, get trapped on the road and pose a danger to drivers and themselves. We have been working with the Texas Department of Transportation on constructing wildlife crossings, but clearly more needs to be done”. For the wild population to stay healthy and genetically diverse, ocelots from the Refuge need to travel and meet up with ocelots from other populations. Crossing roads and highways is a

Ask Our Dentists Q: I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and learned from my doctor that gum disease is more destructive in diabetics. How can I maintain my oral health?
ANSWERED by DR. grayson sellers: It’s true that diabetics are at an increased risk of gum and bone infections, a condition known as Periodontitis. Symptoms of this disease include bleeding gums, receding gums, sensitive teeth, bad breath, and ultimately, tooth loss. All of our mouths harbor bacteria, but in a diabetic, these bacteria start to overwhelm the body’s defenses. The destructive results of Periodontitis can make smiling, talking, and enjoying eating a challenge. Additionally, the severity of periodontal disease is increased in patients with uncontrolled diabetes.For example, patients with inadequate blood sugar levels develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth, than persons who have good control of their diabetes. But the good news is that you can take steps to maintain a healthy mouth and lower your risk of Periodontitis. Regular check-ups/cleanings are important to stop Periodontitis before it starts. And if dental disease does start, a dentist can treat Periodontitis with special procedures to ensure you keep all your teeth for life. If you don’t already have a dentist, I would be honored to help you with your oral health.
