Excitement seems to be growing as construction and renovations are making a difference in buildings at the Daingerfield-Lone Star Independent School District The board of trustees listened to reports on the construction and renovations by Superintendent Sandra Quarles and Ted Estep archi-tect for the school bond at its Aug 19 meeting The construction is covered under a $54 million bond that is a Quali-fied School Construction Bond that vot-ers approved at the polls last year

In an effort to inform the public on the progress Mrs Quarles had a brochure made up to show pictures of areas in the junior high and high school where renovations have made a difference She also listed major renovations and upgrades

ldquoThe fire alarm system upgrades at the high school are made in addition to new installations at the junior high schoolrdquo Mrs Quarles said ldquoPlumbing

issues have been corrected at the junior high and at West Elementary School Roofing has been completed in the high school central hallway and all wings and at the fifth grade hall at South Ele-mentary Major renovation has provid-

hunt Friday night and Saturday morning An-ibal Hernandez 29 of Avinger was taken into custody facing multiple charges according to Morris County Sheriff Jack Martin

Mr Hernandez was placed in the Morris County Jail after being charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon

and evading arrest ldquoFriday night three

men were riding from Mims to Cason and as they went by the Daingerfield State Park Anibal lsquoRicorsquo Hernan-dez who was in the back seat used a knife to cut the throat of the passen-ger who was in the front seatrdquo Sheriff Martin said ldquoThe driver stopped the vehicle and the pas-senger fled The suspect eventually got out and fled also The driver kept

going and later drove himself to a hospital The passenger called 9-1-1 and an ambulance was taken to his location He was transported to Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview by Champion Emergency Medical Servicesrdquo

Mr Hernandez took off his shirt and dropped it according to Sheriff Martin

ldquoWe found the shirt and also a knife that had blood on itrdquo Sheriff

Martin said ldquoMr Her-nandez hid in the woods therefore we initiated a manhunt We could not find him Friday night The next day a lady called and said a man came up to her house and wanted a shirt and a bottle of water This was on County Road 2110 near the Daingerfield State Park The sheriffrsquos office was contacted When Mr Hernandez saw the deputy arrive he took off in the woods

The hunt resumed and a short time later Mr Her-nandez came back out of the woods to another residence where he was spotted getting a drink of water from a water hose Once again upon seeing a deputy arrive he took off in the woods

School ratings reflect new accountability system

By Marlene J Bohrmbohrsteelcountrybeecom

Most of the area school campuses fared well in the new State of Texas Assessments of Academ-ic Readiness (STAAR) that the Texas Education Agency is using as an accountability rating sys-tem All districts and campuses in the Avinger and Hughes Springs Independent School Dis-tricts met the standard required Daingerfield High School did not meet the accountability standard it was rated improvement required

Daingerfield Superintendent Sandra Quarles commented on the Daingerfield district and campuses and on the high schoolsrsquo improve-ment required rating

ldquoDaingerfield High School met standard in three of the four indexesrdquo Mrs Quarles said ldquoThe junior high earned the distinction of Aca-demic Achievement in ReadingELA as well as in mathematics These distinctions are awarded to the top 25 percent of schools in the schoolrsquos grouping

ldquoThe new accountability system is better than what we had because it gives a fuller picture of what schools do however it is a complex calcu-lating system and can be overwhelming It is very difficult to take all of a districtrsquos variables into consideration and define success We are proud of our successes and the areas where we excelled We are committed to improving where improvement is indicated

ldquoTwenty two of our eighth graders took the Al-gebra test with a 100 percent passing rate This is an advantage to these individual students because it will allow them to take additional ad-vanced math courses in high school However these scores were credited to the junior high rather than giving the credit to the high schoolrdquo

The Daingerfield Junior High School received two distinctions and Hughes Springs Junior High received one distinction

Avinger Superintendent Jackie Smith said she was pleased the district and campuses met the accountability standards

ldquoAvinger ISD has awesome hardworking staff members and students with a tremendous amount of support from our communityrdquo Mrs Smith said ldquoWe are pleased about having met the accountability standards but we are also ex-cited about heading into the new year with big things to come

ldquoThis school year we will have a one-to-one ra-tio of student to technology devices Our grades 9 through 12 will have Chromebooks while our grades 1 through 8 will be learning with iPads Kindergarten will have computers in their classrooms Science is gearing up for a lot of big surprises I promised the science teachers I wouldnrsquot tell but I will give a hinthellipstudents grade 3 through 12 can go to golooseinthelabcom to get a sneak preview Itrsquos going to be a great yearrdquo

Hughes Springs Superintendent Rick Ogden said he is proud of his district and each campus

ldquoWe are proud of the efforts and accomplish-ments of our students and teachersrdquo Mr Ogden said ldquoWe will use these results to look for ways to improve and provide the very best education we can possibly provide for all of our studentsrdquo

Daingerfield Police focus on DWI during holiday weekend

By Marlene J BohrmbohrsteelcountrybeecomIf you drink and drive

in Daingerfield you will go to jail according to Daingerfield Police Chief Tracey Climer

ldquoLabor Day drinking while driving (DWI) en-forcement will be un-derway in Daingerfield during the holiday week-endrdquo Chief Climer said ldquoLabor Day is the tradi-tional end-of-summer celebration but drinking and driving can quickly destroy the holiday We wish everyone a happy and safe holiday how-ever be warned to drive sober or face the conse-quencesrdquo

The Daingerfield Police Department is partnering with the Texas Depart-ment of Transportation (TxDOT) on its ldquoDrink Drive Go to Jailrdquo This program educates Texans about the consequences of drinking and driving

ldquoFor the upcoming La-bor Day holiday our hope is there are no alcohol-re-

lated crashes or fatali-tiesrdquo Chief Climer said ldquoWe can only make that happen if everyone com-mits to drive soberrdquo

TxDOT reports that in 2012 there were 330 alco-hol-related traffic crash-es in Texas that resulted in 19 fatalities and 126 serious injuries during the Labor Day holiday re-porting period And more than half (531 percent) of the total traffic fatali-ties during the 2012 Labor Day period in Texas were caused by drivers under the influence of alcohol

Therefore this year of-ficers are once again on high alert for drivers un-der the influence

In addition to statewide efforts Daingerfield Po-lice Department is dedi-cating special resources to combat those breaking the law during the Labor Day holiday period

ldquoMore officers will be put on the street during the Labor Day Holidayrdquo Chief Tracey said

Billy Wayne Duke Carey Lynn Gose

Sprucing upLone Star Volunteer Firemen Tom Smith right and Karl Stoermer are working with others in painting address numbers on street curbs in the city of Lone Star The process will enable the fire police and other departments to quickly find properties in the event of an emergency

School is in session and the air is full of plans for volleyball and Friday night football games Bands have been prac-ticing and marching to perform at the games Students in the area went to school Aug 22 to meet their teachers for the year and take supplies to school

I have the great fortune of being able to cruise the schools on ldquoMeet the Teach-errdquo night This year I began my venture at West Elementary School in Dainger-field where the lobby was full of tables and people sitting at them to offer infor-mation to the incoming parents and stu-dents Dollar Dog from the North East Texas Credit Union was sitting awfully still and for a few seconds I thought it was a stuffed one but when questioned I saw a paw move That was an awfully hot place to be that afternoon for that dog

Pre-kindergarten was a blast with students on the floor with puzzles sur-rounding them Teachers were either in the doorways waiting for new students or greeting students that came and showing them the rooms A lot of par-ents were filling out paperwork for the students

On to South Elementary School where the cafeteria was loaded with parents at the dining tables filling out papers and students waiting The scenes in the halls were the same Parents and stu-dents were looking for the right class-room and teachers were waiting to greet the students The desks were arranged neatly books placed on them The stu-dents had bottles of water or drinks waiting and lots of snacks just to wel-come them back

The wing for kindergarten and pre-kin-dergarten at Hughes Springs Elementa-ry was a jumble of little ones looking around and discovering toys and other items of interest Some students were hanging back behind the parent and

were not anxious to be leaving motherrsquos wing any time soon One mother was wiping away tears and someone asked if it was her youngest that was starting school She said that it wasnrsquot it was her only child

Over at the big-kid elementary school it was a scramble of parents and stu-dents and again there were teachers waiting to welcome them Everyone seemed anxious and happy School nurse Maudie Peters was at one table in the hallway handing out cookies to the students I hadnrsquot been around that much in the elementary school in awhile and forgot how many rooms there were The trip included a trip down Highway 49 to Avinger where the older students were gathered with teachers and par-ents in the McDaniel Building They were busy getting schedules and in-structions In the elementary it was the same scene as at all the elementary schools in our area The teachers were welcoming the new students In be-tween the students they would stand in the doorway waiting for more students Desks were arranged neatly and 7-year-old Bobby Sissom Jr was glad to be in a second grade classroom He showed me books in a boat-like bookcase and said he loved reading and was anxious to read as many books as he could this year

It was a lot of walking through five schools looking for photo ops but it was really a whole lot of fun Irsquom sure those teachers made each student feel wel-come and look forward to a new year even the ones who did not really want to leave the nest

Thanks to the teachers for taking the time to make those classrooms extra special for our area children to learn in ldquoMeet the Teacherrdquo night is a mad dash but really a lot of fun for everyone me included

School is back in full swing

Mr Estep said he also would advise citizens to check out the schools

The Tigers are looking to be ready for their up-coming season opener against Gladewater Fri-day after finishing up the preseason with a home scrimmage against Paris North Lamar friday

Head coach Aric Sardinia said he was happy with his teamrsquos performance in their final scrim-mage

ldquoIt was hot out there and it is hard to tell exact-ly where you are and where you will be in a real game situation We were able to see some things that we were wanting to see thoughrdquo he said ldquoI was impressed with our performance overall We did a good job in the quarter that we played Over-all I was pleased but we have to continue to take it one day at a timerdquo

The Tiger offense was able to find the end zone more than once in the 30-minute running-clock quarter against the Panthers Friday but Sardin-ia said it was his defense that caught his eye

ldquoI thought that our defense did a really good jobrdquo he said ldquoI am really impressed with our de-fense right now They are looking good and they are getting better every dayrdquo

North Lamar was held scoreless in the practice quarter

Sardina said that special teams were a area of focus in practice this week and will continue to be an area to work on in the early stages of the season

ldquoWe were able to get out there and kick the ball a little bit Irsquove seen our kicker go out and kick the ball a lot better but he did a good job of puntingrdquo Sardinia said ldquoWe got a look at our extra point and field goal team I am a little concerned about that part of our game right now They are not ex-actly where I want them to be but we will keep working on that part of the gamerdquo

The Tigers open the regular season Friday at Gladewater against the Bears a team that Sardi-na says should give his squad a good challenge

ldquoGladewater is going to be a running team that wants to contol the clock and the tempo They have a really good offensive line but I think we will be able to manage them he said ldquoThey have a running back and free safety that makes a lot of plays for them The also have a good defensive line They should be good up front on both sides of the ballrdquo

Fridayrsquos season opener is scheduled to begin at 730 pm

Texas sets waterfowl seasons for 2013-14

For the first time in a half century Texas wa-terfowlers can take two canvasbacks daily un-der migratory game bird seasons approved for the 2013-14 by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission

The increase comes with news of healthy water-fowl populations with all species except pintail and scaup numbering above the long term goals iden-tified in the North Amer-ican Waterfowl Manage-ment Plan

ldquoOverall waterfowl are doing quite wellrdquo Kevin Kraai Waterfowl Program Leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department told com-

missioners ldquoWersquore near record levels and in some instances in the glory days for ducksrdquo

The commission also adopted a staggered split between the North and South Zones to allow for the opportunity of an ad-ditional week for those waterfowlers who travel between zones

In another change to the season framework that should be welcomed by hunters the possession limits for all migratory game birds is now three times the daily limit For ducks including teal during the early Sept 14-29 season the possession limit is 18

The Mustang foot-ball team took to the field Thursday evening against the Queen City Bulldogs in both teams final pre-season tilt be-fore the regular season begins on Aug 30

The Mustangs showed more fluidity and explo-siveness against a Bull-dog team that at times looked overmatched The Mustangs signature Slot-T offense was click-ing most of the night with junior Fred Hop-kins slashing and dart-ing through the Bulldog defense seemingly at will Hopkins seems to be in mid-season form and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball

The scrimmage al-ternated time between varsity and junior var-sity forces With sopho-more quarterback Blake Smith guiding the junior varsity unit the offense was quite efficient total-ing 5 touchdowns to one for the Queen City JV squad The backfield for the JV is comprised of Dazon Hatten Gabriel DuBose and Nate Banks With each showing good vision and an ability to break tackles and gain the tough yardage

The junior varsity de-fense in the scrimmage did not allow the Queen City Bulldogs much day-light on the afternoon

The Mustangs varsity offensive unit seemed to click a bit more than in their previous scrim-mage The Mustang

backfield found more daylight thanks to an offensive line that is comprised of seniors Christian Smith Cade Pittman along withAsa Gaul Thomas Wallace and senior Kyre Lewis

On the other side of the ball the Mustangs were plugging holes the whole contest with the Bulldogs only finding a couple holes that trans-

lated into finding the end-zone The defensive line and line-backing corps were aggressive and flew to the ball meet-ing the Bulldog players and stopping them in their tracks with con-sistency The secondary played assignment foot-ball as well and made it tough on the Bulldog receivers not allowing much through the air

The scrimmage was concluded with both varsity units participat-ing in a live quarter of action With a real game feel and clock in play the Mustangs finished the night with a drive highlighted with a short touchdown plunge by se-nior Chris Royal

With the Mustangs ending the night scoring 8 touchdowns to 2 for

the Bulldogs those that were in attendance were left with a good feeling that come Friday night the Hughes Springs Mustangs will bring a style of football sure to make the Mustang Na-tion happy

The Mustangs will open the regular season Friday as they play host to the Clarksville Tigers at 730

On May 20 the world watched in horror as an EF5 tornado swept through Moore Okla More than 20 people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed leaving the community devastated and literally buried beneath tons of de-bris

Meanwhile the North-east Texas Community College Welderrsquos Associ-ation began to formulate an idea of how they could reach out to help the peo-ple of Moore Within two weeks the group had for-mulated a plan of action and 12 people headed north to lend a hand

ldquoThe entire group felt strongly about doing something to help Rath-er than just sending sup-plies we decided it would be better to actually go up there and assist with the cleanuprdquo Marcos Sanchez NTCC welding instructor and Welderrsquos Association advisor said ldquoWe were able to use mon-ey we had raised the pre-vious school year to cover expenses and folks from the college pitched in by donating trash bags and other suppliesrdquo

The group met at 330 am on a Saturday in ear-ly June and loaded into two trucks to make the 250+ mile trek to Moore They arrived around 930 am and checked in with Serve Moore a faith-based relief organization The welders were sent to assist with cleaning up a park area near the remains of a residential neighborhood

ldquoTo see the devastation on television is one thing To actually see it up close in person is completely differentrdquo Mr Sanchez said ldquoThe entire park was covered in items from peoplersquos homes and trees were scattered around so that they looked like noo-dles in a pan Nobody re-ally knew where to begin and it was difficult to or-ganize the processrdquo

The NTCC group dug in and soon figured out it was easier to separate the trash into piles based on materials Other volun-teers began to follow their lead and by the end of the day their work began to reveal the park beneath the rubble

ldquoIt was really something to experience There were tons of people from all over the country pitching

in to help ndash we were all strangers but we were accomplishing something together By the end of the day we had piles of metal that were taller than buildingsrdquo Mr San-chez said ldquoThe worksite was more than a quar-ter mile from the nearest house but we picked up dolls and all sorts of per-sonal items It was hard to imagine a storm doing that much damagerdquo

The Welderrsquos Associa-tion group spent the night in the area and continued to work on Sunday

ldquoWe spent a full day-and-a-half working in that park Before we left we all went up on this hill and looked down to get a broader view of the whole area As hard as we had worked we really hadnrsquot made a dent in the big picture We knew then that we had to go back a second timerdquo Kenneth Barker of Mount Pleas-ant vice president of the NTCC Welderrsquos Associa-tion said

In order to raise money the students held a car wash in Daingerfield and received a few private do-nations The employees of Priefert Manufacturing also gave $500 to help cov-er expenses ndash which was part of more than $10000 that the company raised to benefit relief in Moore It was early August before six members of the group were able to make the next trip

According to Mr San-chez the landscape had changed drastically in the two and half months that had passed since they were there the first time

ldquoIt was unbelievable how much different things looked in August because so much dem-olition had taken place The entire area that we had worked on before had been cleaned up and was basically a blank slaterdquo Mr Sanchez said

They checked in with Serve Moore again but got a different assignment this time They were sent to a residential neighbor-hood to remove trees and limbs from residential yards

ldquoThe people we helped were all very grateful They really appreciated anything we could do for them - from just clean-ing up small limbs to re-moving big trees They were just thrilled to have us thererdquo Ana Karen a welding student from Longview who went on

both trips saidFloyd Gates saw the

team working in a yard and offered to pay them to cut up a tree in his yard down the street They vol-unteered to do the work for free and got to know Mr Gates better through-out the day He recently commented about their work on the NTCC Weld-errsquos Association Facebook page

ldquoI just want to thank all of you once again for helping me with my tor-nado damaged trees As a retired Texas Firefight-er it made me proud that some kindhearted Texans showed up at my house here in Moore and helped me out in a time of need It was like an answer to my prayers Hope you had a safe trip home and God bless you allrdquo Mr Gates wrote

NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation members who went on the first work trip in-cluded Marcos Sanchez (advisor) Dustin Smith Ana Karen Kenneth Bark-er Mark Johnson Deon Williams Jerry Simpson Donny Donham Mark Lawson David Olivares Miguel E Alvarado and Jaime Zamarripa Mak-ing the second trip were Mr Sanchez Mr Barker Ms Karen Mr Donham

Jesus Bernabe and Tim Stevenson

Mr Sanchez founded the NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation in 2012 as a way to help engage welding stu-dents and get them more involved in campus life They soon began partic-ipating in activities and raising money for their student organization They have adopted a two-mile stretch of Highway 11 and they participated in the Texas Outhouse Races at the Mount Pleas-ant Everything Texas fes-tival Fundraising efforts have included a drawing for a trailer built by NTCC welding students and a benefit barbecue

ldquoWe want to thank the people who have given money and supplies to our organization Your gifts enable us to participate in service projects like our trips to Moore and they are very much appreciat-edrdquo Mr Sanchez said

Active SeniorsActive Seniors

Most of us say we would like to age gracefully But the concept seems pretty much out of our hands or in the hands of a plastic surgeon We say we arenrsquot going to take those drastic measures but then many of us end up doing so Why Be-cause we didnrsquot just take the simple natural mea-sures we could have tak-en daily while we were still young

Did you know that only one third of what con-trols how gracefully we will age is determined by genetics Itrsquos shocking I know Maybe your dadrsquos gray hairs that popped up at the age of 30 or your momrsquos arthritis doesnrsquot have to be a major pan-ic point for you after all One third is genetics That means there is an entire two thirds that are completely based on your own choices

Keep reading to find some of the healthiest ways to approach these choices and learn how to age gracefully

The pursuit of happi-ness shouldnrsquot end with career marriage and family Because sadly as you age these things may become less present in your life But happi-ness boosts the immune system and reduces stress When you are stressed your heart rate goes up your digestion slows and blood flow is even blocked to certain muscles If you expe-rience chronic stress these conditions could lead to actual physical disorders like obesity diabetes ulcers and even cancer

Keep active and in-volved Happiness is easier to cultivate than you think Believe that life still has enjoyable experiences to offer you Even if you just donrsquot see how you can be happy as you age force yourself to go to events to gath-erings to dinner with friends Yoursquoll usually be pleasantly surprised with what you find and positive attitude and op-timism are linked to lon-gevity If yoursquore not sure what makes you hap-py learn Take notes at times when you feel par-ticularly uplifted and those when you feel anx-iety-ridden Where are you Who are you with What are you doing Ad-just your daily activities accordingly

The brain loves new experiences and sensa-tions Have you ever real-

We can grow old gracefully

ly regretted trying some-thing new So long as it didnrsquot harm you what you probably felt most of the time was a rush It feels good to know you have the guts to put your-self in unfamiliar envi-ronments and try things you arenrsquot necessarily skilled at Sometimes you have to fumble in order to have a new enjoyable experience But what you remember more than get-ting it wrong is how ex-citing it was to try some-thing new

Contrary to what many people believe your brain has the ability to continue building neural connections throughout life So donrsquot be afraid of new phenomena that simply didnrsquot exist when you were younger Jump head first into social me-dia classes or trying a new food trend everyone is raving about Doing so will cultivate curiosity creativity and an open mind additional traits linked to longevity

We are always harder on ourselves than others Wersquoll spend hours cook-ing a healthy meal for a friend on the weekend meanwhile we take our-selves through fast-food drive-thrursquos during the week We tell our friends how gorgeous they are and make self-deprecat-ing comments about our-selves

It may be harder than ever to do so now that yoursquore aging but itrsquos also more important than ever to love yourself Tell yourself you are fabulous Make yourself fabulous by dressing up standing up straight and quitting those self-deprecating thoughts and comments Do the things that make you happy more often and remind yourself itrsquos because you deserve to Why Because your body becomes stressed when you have thoughts like

ldquoIrsquom not good enoughrdquo And we already know stress is bad for the body

Research shows that those who are more so-cially connected -- that doesnrsquot just mean going to activities and events but actually cultivating friendships from them -- live longer This is just another way to ward off depression

As we age and can no longer do the things we used to do we begin to feel ldquouselessrdquo But something you can always offer is a set of ears some good ad-vice and if anything the ability to make someone laugh Think about how much the friends who do that for you mean to you You mean just as much to them You may not be a doctor actress or en-trepreneur anymore But through all of those years of work you also became the unique entertaining and wise individual you are That is something you will always have to offer

Exercising regularly makes you less likely to develop diabetes heart disease dementia os-teoarthritis depression and obesity One study found that women who walk briskly for just 5 hours a week have a 76 higher chance of aging gracefully and healthful-ly with less physical and mental impairment Of course if you are aging you canrsquot exactly run an hour a day or rock climb like you used to (if you used to at all) Look into low impact workouts like walking resistance training tai chi and yoga

You canrsquot control every biological process that goes on in your body as you age but what you can always control is your outlook and the life-style choices you make It turns out thatrsquos more than half the battle

Ah the golden years A time for chess knitting and bingo plus the occa-sional 4 orsquoclock dinner followed by a letter to the grandkids Sound famil-iar Probably not because many of todayrsquos seniors are more likely to get mov-ing eat fresh veggies from their gardens and text the grandkids about the new pictures on their Face-book wall Part of being an active senior might in-clude activities like board games sewing and dining out with friends but hob-bies for the older genera-tion have long been cross-ing over into what all ages enjoy

Are you a senior If yoursquore in your mid-40s yoursquore considered a senior in some parts of the world but by most Western esti-mates ldquoold agerdquo falls with-in the 60- to 65-year range and older because thatrsquos the age set for many insur-ance benefits and pensions [source Encyclopaedia Britannica] According to the US Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) the number of people aged 65 or older will more than double by 2030 and ideas for improving the quality of life for those living longer means in-creasing activity [source CDC] Maybe a more im-portant question than ldquoAre you a seniorrdquo is ldquoAre you an active seniorrdquo

Whether looking to in-crease passive activity by exercising your mind or to increase physical activ-ity by exercising -- or both ndash todayrsquos seniors are rede-fining and even extending their later years

Todayrsquos seniors are increasingly more active

More than 1 million people nationwide live in assisted-living fa-cilities according to government estimates Therersquos no common-ly accepted definition for these facilities but they all offer some level of assistance to people who donrsquot need full-time attention but who may need help with person-al care taking medica-tions or other concerns If you are considering an assisted-living ar-rangement for yourself or a loved one here is advice on issues to ad-dress

Consider Your Op-tions

Will your loved one be happier aging in this place Assisted living is a good choice for many people who can no lon-ger manage on their own but itrsquos not the only one It may be possible for example to arrange for home health care for someone whorsquos not comfortable with the idea of living in a facil-ity or who doesnrsquot want to move from their long-term residence Staying in their own home may be isolating however for someone who has lost some or all of their mobility Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to take into account many factorsmdashincluding financial physical mental and emotionalmdashbefore mak-ing a decision

Know What Yoursquore Getting

There are no nation-al regulations for as-sisted-living facilities which means that li-censing and standards may vary from state to state Even within one state there may be dif-ferent levels of licens-ing or regulation for various kinds of facili-ties When checking out the quality of a specific facility you will want to ensure that it meets all applicable standards To make that determi-nation you may want to understand which lo-cal or state regulations govern each facility you consider

Get Started EarlyItrsquos a good idea to be-

gin considering your op-tions well in advance so you donrsquot have to make

Five tips when considering an assisted-living

a hurried decision in the future Start out by visiting facilities When you arrive take note Does it seem like a pleasant place to live Is it not only clean and attractive but also easy to get around if mobil-ity is or could become a problem Do the res-idents seem happy and well cared for Are there organized activi-ties and events Do ap-propriate safety mea-sures protect residents in their kitchens bath-rooms and throughout the building These are some of the many questions you should ask You may also want to review the facilityrsquos contract with an elder care attorney and with your CPA to better un-derstand the legal and financial issues in-volved

Find Out About Fees

The national average monthly base cost for an assisted-living facility was $3477 according to a recent study Itrsquos obvi-ous that different facil-ities will have different base costs but be aware that each one may also add on a variety of ex-tra charges There may be added fees for say administering medi-cations housekeeping or certain activities Yoursquoll also want to find out whether a deposit is required and how much notice is needed when moving to a new facility or another level of care Ask too about how hospitalization costs are handled These are just a few of the finan-cial considerations to ask about before you sign a contract

Know Where to Turn for Help

The Older Americans Act requires each state to have an ombudsman program to resolve complaints about the long-term care system and advocate for en-hancements to it If you have a complaint about or problem with a fa-cility your state long-term care ombudsman may be able to help The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Re-source Center can pro-vide more information

Daingerfield Police focus on DWI during holiday weekend

By Marlene J BohrmbohrsteelcountrybeecomIf you drink and drive

in Daingerfield you will go to jail according to Daingerfield Police Chief Tracey Climer

ldquoLabor Day drinking while driving (DWI) en-forcement will be un-derway in Daingerfield during the holiday week-endrdquo Chief Climer said ldquoLabor Day is the tradi-tional end-of-summer celebration but drinking and driving can quickly destroy the holiday We wish everyone a happy and safe holiday how-ever be warned to drive sober or face the conse-quencesrdquo

The Daingerfield Police Department is partnering with the Texas Depart-ment of Transportation (TxDOT) on its ldquoDrink Drive Go to Jailrdquo This program educates Texans about the consequences of drinking and driving

ldquoFor the upcoming La-bor Day holiday our hope is there are no alcohol-re-

lated crashes or fatali-tiesrdquo Chief Climer said ldquoWe can only make that happen if everyone com-mits to drive soberrdquo

TxDOT reports that in 2012 there were 330 alco-hol-related traffic crash-es in Texas that resulted in 19 fatalities and 126 serious injuries during the Labor Day holiday re-porting period And more than half (531 percent) of the total traffic fatali-ties during the 2012 Labor Day period in Texas were caused by drivers under the influence of alcohol

Therefore this year of-ficers are once again on high alert for drivers un-der the influence

In addition to statewide efforts Daingerfield Po-lice Department is dedi-cating special resources to combat those breaking the law during the Labor Day holiday period

ldquoMore officers will be put on the street during the Labor Day Holidayrdquo Chief Tracey said

Billy Wayne Duke Carey Lynn Gose

Sprucing upLone Star Volunteer Firemen Tom Smith right and Karl Stoermer are working with others in painting address numbers on street curbs in the city of Lone Star The process will enable the fire police and other departments to quickly find properties in the event of an emergency

School is in session and the air is full of plans for volleyball and Friday night football games Bands have been prac-ticing and marching to perform at the games Students in the area went to school Aug 22 to meet their teachers for the year and take supplies to school

I have the great fortune of being able to cruise the schools on ldquoMeet the Teach-errdquo night This year I began my venture at West Elementary School in Dainger-field where the lobby was full of tables and people sitting at them to offer infor-mation to the incoming parents and stu-dents Dollar Dog from the North East Texas Credit Union was sitting awfully still and for a few seconds I thought it was a stuffed one but when questioned I saw a paw move That was an awfully hot place to be that afternoon for that dog

Pre-kindergarten was a blast with students on the floor with puzzles sur-rounding them Teachers were either in the doorways waiting for new students or greeting students that came and showing them the rooms A lot of par-ents were filling out paperwork for the students

On to South Elementary School where the cafeteria was loaded with parents at the dining tables filling out papers and students waiting The scenes in the halls were the same Parents and stu-dents were looking for the right class-room and teachers were waiting to greet the students The desks were arranged neatly books placed on them The stu-dents had bottles of water or drinks waiting and lots of snacks just to wel-come them back

The wing for kindergarten and pre-kin-dergarten at Hughes Springs Elementa-ry was a jumble of little ones looking around and discovering toys and other items of interest Some students were hanging back behind the parent and

were not anxious to be leaving motherrsquos wing any time soon One mother was wiping away tears and someone asked if it was her youngest that was starting school She said that it wasnrsquot it was her only child

Over at the big-kid elementary school it was a scramble of parents and stu-dents and again there were teachers waiting to welcome them Everyone seemed anxious and happy School nurse Maudie Peters was at one table in the hallway handing out cookies to the students I hadnrsquot been around that much in the elementary school in awhile and forgot how many rooms there were The trip included a trip down Highway 49 to Avinger where the older students were gathered with teachers and par-ents in the McDaniel Building They were busy getting schedules and in-structions In the elementary it was the same scene as at all the elementary schools in our area The teachers were welcoming the new students In be-tween the students they would stand in the doorway waiting for more students Desks were arranged neatly and 7-year-old Bobby Sissom Jr was glad to be in a second grade classroom He showed me books in a boat-like bookcase and said he loved reading and was anxious to read as many books as he could this year

It was a lot of walking through five schools looking for photo ops but it was really a whole lot of fun Irsquom sure those teachers made each student feel wel-come and look forward to a new year even the ones who did not really want to leave the nest

Thanks to the teachers for taking the time to make those classrooms extra special for our area children to learn in ldquoMeet the Teacherrdquo night is a mad dash but really a lot of fun for everyone me included

The Tigers are looking to be ready for their up-coming season opener against Gladewater Fri-day after finishing up the preseason with a home scrimmage against Paris North Lamar friday

Head coach Aric Sardinia said he was happy with his teamrsquos performance in their final scrim-mage

ldquoIt was hot out there and it is hard to tell exact-ly where you are and where you will be in a real game situation We were able to see some things that we were wanting to see thoughrdquo he said ldquoI was impressed with our performance overall We did a good job in the quarter that we played Over-all I was pleased but we have to continue to take it one day at a timerdquo

The Tiger offense was able to find the end zone more than once in the 30-minute running-clock quarter against the Panthers Friday but Sardin-ia said it was his defense that caught his eye

ldquoI thought that our defense did a really good jobrdquo he said ldquoI am really impressed with our de-fense right now They are looking good and they are getting better every dayrdquo

North Lamar was held scoreless in the practice quarter

Sardina said that special teams were a area of focus in practice this week and will continue to be an area to work on in the early stages of the season

ldquoWe were able to get out there and kick the ball a little bit Irsquove seen our kicker go out and kick the ball a lot better but he did a good job of puntingrdquo Sardinia said ldquoWe got a look at our extra point and field goal team I am a little concerned about that part of our game right now They are not ex-actly where I want them to be but we will keep working on that part of the gamerdquo

The Tigers open the regular season Friday at Gladewater against the Bears a team that Sardi-na says should give his squad a good challenge

ldquoGladewater is going to be a running team that wants to contol the clock and the tempo They have a really good offensive line but I think we will be able to manage them he said ldquoThey have a running back and free safety that makes a lot of plays for them The also have a good defensive line They should be good up front on both sides of the ballrdquo

Fridayrsquos season opener is scheduled to begin at 730 pm

Texas sets waterfowl seasons for 2013-14

For the first time in a half century Texas wa-terfowlers can take two canvasbacks daily un-der migratory game bird seasons approved for the 2013-14 by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission

The increase comes with news of healthy water-fowl populations with all species except pintail and scaup numbering above the long term goals iden-tified in the North Amer-ican Waterfowl Manage-ment Plan

ldquoOverall waterfowl are doing quite wellrdquo Kevin Kraai Waterfowl Program Leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department told com-

missioners ldquoWersquore near record levels and in some instances in the glory days for ducksrdquo

The commission also adopted a staggered split between the North and South Zones to allow for the opportunity of an ad-ditional week for those waterfowlers who travel between zones

In another change to the season framework that should be welcomed by hunters the possession limits for all migratory game birds is now three times the daily limit For ducks including teal during the early Sept 14-29 season the possession limit is 18

The Mustang foot-ball team took to the field Thursday evening against the Queen City Bulldogs in both teams final pre-season tilt be-fore the regular season begins on Aug 30

The Mustangs showed more fluidity and explo-siveness against a Bull-dog team that at times looked overmatched The Mustangs signature Slot-T offense was click-ing most of the night with junior Fred Hop-kins slashing and dart-ing through the Bulldog defense seemingly at will Hopkins seems to be in mid-season form and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball

The scrimmage al-ternated time between varsity and junior var-sity forces With sopho-more quarterback Blake Smith guiding the junior varsity unit the offense was quite efficient total-ing 5 touchdowns to one for the Queen City JV squad The backfield for the JV is comprised of Dazon Hatten Gabriel DuBose and Nate Banks With each showing good vision and an ability to break tackles and gain the tough yardage

The junior varsity de-fense in the scrimmage did not allow the Queen City Bulldogs much day-light on the afternoon

The Mustangs varsity offensive unit seemed to click a bit more than in their previous scrim-mage The Mustang

backfield found more daylight thanks to an offensive line that is comprised of seniors Christian Smith Cade Pittman along withAsa Gaul Thomas Wallace and senior Kyre Lewis

On the other side of the ball the Mustangs were plugging holes the whole contest with the Bulldogs only finding a couple holes that trans-

lated into finding the end-zone The defensive line and line-backing corps were aggressive and flew to the ball meet-ing the Bulldog players and stopping them in their tracks with con-sistency The secondary played assignment foot-ball as well and made it tough on the Bulldog receivers not allowing much through the air

The scrimmage was concluded with both varsity units participat-ing in a live quarter of action With a real game feel and clock in play the Mustangs finished the night with a drive highlighted with a short touchdown plunge by se-nior Chris Royal

With the Mustangs ending the night scoring 8 touchdowns to 2 for

the Bulldogs those that were in attendance were left with a good feeling that come Friday night the Hughes Springs Mustangs will bring a style of football sure to make the Mustang Na-tion happy

The Mustangs will open the regular season Friday as they play host to the Clarksville Tigers at 730

On May 20 the world watched in horror as an EF5 tornado swept through Moore Okla More than 20 people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed leaving the community devastated and literally buried beneath tons of de-bris

Meanwhile the North-east Texas Community College Welderrsquos Associ-ation began to formulate an idea of how they could reach out to help the peo-ple of Moore Within two weeks the group had for-mulated a plan of action and 12 people headed north to lend a hand

ldquoThe entire group felt strongly about doing something to help Rath-er than just sending sup-plies we decided it would be better to actually go up there and assist with the cleanuprdquo Marcos Sanchez NTCC welding instructor and Welderrsquos Association advisor said ldquoWe were able to use mon-ey we had raised the pre-vious school year to cover expenses and folks from the college pitched in by donating trash bags and other suppliesrdquo

The group met at 330 am on a Saturday in ear-ly June and loaded into two trucks to make the 250+ mile trek to Moore They arrived around 930 am and checked in with Serve Moore a faith-based relief organization The welders were sent to assist with cleaning up a park area near the remains of a residential neighborhood

ldquoTo see the devastation on television is one thing To actually see it up close in person is completely differentrdquo Mr Sanchez said ldquoThe entire park was covered in items from peoplersquos homes and trees were scattered around so that they looked like noo-dles in a pan Nobody re-ally knew where to begin and it was difficult to or-ganize the processrdquo

The NTCC group dug in and soon figured out it was easier to separate the trash into piles based on materials Other volun-teers began to follow their lead and by the end of the day their work began to reveal the park beneath the rubble

ldquoIt was really something to experience There were tons of people from all over the country pitching

in to help ndash we were all strangers but we were accomplishing something together By the end of the day we had piles of metal that were taller than buildingsrdquo Mr San-chez said ldquoThe worksite was more than a quar-ter mile from the nearest house but we picked up dolls and all sorts of per-sonal items It was hard to imagine a storm doing that much damagerdquo

The Welderrsquos Associa-tion group spent the night in the area and continued to work on Sunday

ldquoWe spent a full day-and-a-half working in that park Before we left we all went up on this hill and looked down to get a broader view of the whole area As hard as we had worked we really hadnrsquot made a dent in the big picture We knew then that we had to go back a second timerdquo Kenneth Barker of Mount Pleas-ant vice president of the NTCC Welderrsquos Associa-tion said

In order to raise money the students held a car wash in Daingerfield and received a few private do-nations The employees of Priefert Manufacturing also gave $500 to help cov-er expenses ndash which was part of more than $10000 that the company raised to benefit relief in Moore It was early August before six members of the group were able to make the next trip

According to Mr San-chez the landscape had changed drastically in the two and half months that had passed since they were there the first time

ldquoIt was unbelievable how much different things looked in August because so much dem-olition had taken place The entire area that we had worked on before had been cleaned up and was basically a blank slaterdquo Mr Sanchez said

They checked in with Serve Moore again but got a different assignment this time They were sent to a residential neighbor-hood to remove trees and limbs from residential yards

ldquoThe people we helped were all very grateful They really appreciated anything we could do for them - from just clean-ing up small limbs to re-moving big trees They were just thrilled to have us thererdquo Ana Karen a welding student from Longview who went on

both trips saidFloyd Gates saw the

team working in a yard and offered to pay them to cut up a tree in his yard down the street They vol-unteered to do the work for free and got to know Mr Gates better through-out the day He recently commented about their work on the NTCC Weld-errsquos Association Facebook page

ldquoI just want to thank all of you once again for helping me with my tor-nado damaged trees As a retired Texas Firefight-er it made me proud that some kindhearted Texans showed up at my house here in Moore and helped me out in a time of need It was like an answer to my prayers Hope you had a safe trip home and God bless you allrdquo Mr Gates wrote

NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation members who went on the first work trip in-cluded Marcos Sanchez (advisor) Dustin Smith Ana Karen Kenneth Bark-er Mark Johnson Deon Williams Jerry Simpson Donny Donham Mark Lawson David Olivares Miguel E Alvarado and Jaime Zamarripa Mak-ing the second trip were Mr Sanchez Mr Barker Ms Karen Mr Donham

Jesus Bernabe and Tim Stevenson

Mr Sanchez founded the NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation in 2012 as a way to help engage welding stu-dents and get them more involved in campus life They soon began partic-ipating in activities and raising money for their student organization They have adopted a two-mile stretch of Highway 11 and they participated in the Texas Outhouse Races at the Mount Pleas-ant Everything Texas fes-tival Fundraising efforts have included a drawing for a trailer built by NTCC welding students and a benefit barbecue

ldquoWe want to thank the people who have given money and supplies to our organization Your gifts enable us to participate in service projects like our trips to Moore and they are very much appreciat-edrdquo Mr Sanchez said

Active SeniorsActive Seniors

Most of us say we would like to age gracefully But the concept seems pretty much out of our hands or in the hands of a plastic surgeon We say we arenrsquot going to take those drastic measures but then many of us end up doing so Why Be-cause we didnrsquot just take the simple natural mea-sures we could have tak-en daily while we were still young

Did you know that only one third of what con-trols how gracefully we will age is determined by genetics Itrsquos shocking I know Maybe your dadrsquos gray hairs that popped up at the age of 30 or your momrsquos arthritis doesnrsquot have to be a major pan-ic point for you after all One third is genetics That means there is an entire two thirds that are completely based on your own choices

Keep reading to find some of the healthiest ways to approach these choices and learn how to age gracefully

The pursuit of happi-ness shouldnrsquot end with career marriage and family Because sadly as you age these things may become less present in your life But happi-ness boosts the immune system and reduces stress When you are stressed your heart rate goes up your digestion slows and blood flow is even blocked to certain muscles If you expe-rience chronic stress these conditions could lead to actual physical disorders like obesity diabetes ulcers and even cancer

Keep active and in-volved Happiness is easier to cultivate than you think Believe that life still has enjoyable experiences to offer you Even if you just donrsquot see how you can be happy as you age force yourself to go to events to gath-erings to dinner with friends Yoursquoll usually be pleasantly surprised with what you find and positive attitude and op-timism are linked to lon-gevity If yoursquore not sure what makes you hap-py learn Take notes at times when you feel par-ticularly uplifted and those when you feel anx-iety-ridden Where are you Who are you with What are you doing Ad-just your daily activities accordingly

The brain loves new experiences and sensa-tions Have you ever real-

We can grow old gracefully

ly regretted trying some-thing new So long as it didnrsquot harm you what you probably felt most of the time was a rush It feels good to know you have the guts to put your-self in unfamiliar envi-ronments and try things you arenrsquot necessarily skilled at Sometimes you have to fumble in order to have a new enjoyable experience But what you remember more than get-ting it wrong is how ex-citing it was to try some-thing new

Contrary to what many people believe your brain has the ability to continue building neural connections throughout life So donrsquot be afraid of new phenomena that simply didnrsquot exist when you were younger Jump head first into social me-dia classes or trying a new food trend everyone is raving about Doing so will cultivate curiosity creativity and an open mind additional traits linked to longevity

We are always harder on ourselves than others Wersquoll spend hours cook-ing a healthy meal for a friend on the weekend meanwhile we take our-selves through fast-food drive-thrursquos during the week We tell our friends how gorgeous they are and make self-deprecat-ing comments about our-selves

It may be harder than ever to do so now that yoursquore aging but itrsquos also more important than ever to love yourself Tell yourself you are fabulous Make yourself fabulous by dressing up standing up straight and quitting those self-deprecating thoughts and comments Do the things that make you happy more often and remind yourself itrsquos because you deserve to Why Because your body becomes stressed when you have thoughts like

ldquoIrsquom not good enoughrdquo And we already know stress is bad for the body

Research shows that those who are more so-cially connected -- that doesnrsquot just mean going to activities and events but actually cultivating friendships from them -- live longer This is just another way to ward off depression

As we age and can no longer do the things we used to do we begin to feel ldquouselessrdquo But something you can always offer is a set of ears some good ad-vice and if anything the ability to make someone laugh Think about how much the friends who do that for you mean to you You mean just as much to them You may not be a doctor actress or en-trepreneur anymore But through all of those years of work you also became the unique entertaining and wise individual you are That is something you will always have to offer

Exercising regularly makes you less likely to develop diabetes heart disease dementia os-teoarthritis depression and obesity One study found that women who walk briskly for just 5 hours a week have a 76 higher chance of aging gracefully and healthful-ly with less physical and mental impairment Of course if you are aging you canrsquot exactly run an hour a day or rock climb like you used to (if you used to at all) Look into low impact workouts like walking resistance training tai chi and yoga

You canrsquot control every biological process that goes on in your body as you age but what you can always control is your outlook and the life-style choices you make It turns out thatrsquos more than half the battle

Ah the golden years A time for chess knitting and bingo plus the occa-sional 4 orsquoclock dinner followed by a letter to the grandkids Sound famil-iar Probably not because many of todayrsquos seniors are more likely to get mov-ing eat fresh veggies from their gardens and text the grandkids about the new pictures on their Face-book wall Part of being an active senior might in-clude activities like board games sewing and dining out with friends but hob-bies for the older genera-tion have long been cross-ing over into what all ages enjoy

Are you a senior If yoursquore in your mid-40s yoursquore considered a senior in some parts of the world but by most Western esti-mates ldquoold agerdquo falls with-in the 60- to 65-year range and older because thatrsquos the age set for many insur-ance benefits and pensions [source Encyclopaedia Britannica] According to the US Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) the number of people aged 65 or older will more than double by 2030 and ideas for improving the quality of life for those living longer means in-creasing activity [source CDC] Maybe a more im-portant question than ldquoAre you a seniorrdquo is ldquoAre you an active seniorrdquo

Whether looking to in-crease passive activity by exercising your mind or to increase physical activ-ity by exercising -- or both ndash todayrsquos seniors are rede-fining and even extending their later years

Todayrsquos seniors are increasingly more active

If yoursquore age 65 or older odds are you have a chron-ic condition

According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control amp Prevention about 80 per-cent of seniors in the US have at least one chronic condition The most com-mon chronic conditions among seniors are ldquosilent killersrdquomdashdiseases such as high blood pressure di-abetes and heart disease that often have no phys-ical symptoms Despite their silent nature these conditions may result in life-threatening complica-tions disability and sig-nificant costs if not prop-erly managed

ldquoA chronic condition like diabetes or heart dis-ease should not be tak-en lightlyrdquo said Rhonda Randall DO geriatrician and chief medical officer UnitedHealthcare Medi-care amp Retirement ldquoItrsquos important to get screened for these illnesses annual-ly even if you donrsquot have symptoms If you have a chronic condition ed-ucate yourself and take action to help reduce your risk of serious complica-tionsrdquo

Know your risk factors Everything from your age gender and genetics to your diet and exercise af-fect your risk for chronic conditions Having regular doctor visits and preven-tive screenings can help manage potential risks Medicare covers the cost of many preventive services for people with chronic conditions including an annual wellness visit at no co-pay

More than 1 million people nationwide live in assisted-living fa-cilities according to government estimates Therersquos no common-ly accepted definition for these facilities but they all offer some level of assistance to people who donrsquot need full-time attention but who may need help with person-al care taking medica-tions or other concerns If you are considering an assisted-living ar-rangement for yourself or a loved one here is advice on issues to ad-dress

Consider Your Op-tions

Will your loved one be happier aging in this place Assisted living is a good choice for many people who can no lon-ger manage on their own but itrsquos not the only one It may be possible for example to arrange for home health care for someone whorsquos not comfortable with the idea of living in a facil-ity or who doesnrsquot want to move from their long-term residence Staying in their own home may be isolating however for someone who has lost some or all of their mobility Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to take into account many factorsmdashincluding financial physical mental and emotionalmdashbefore mak-ing a decision

Know What Yoursquore Getting

There are no nation-al regulations for as-sisted-living facilities which means that li-censing and standards may vary from state to state Even within one state there may be dif-ferent levels of licens-ing or regulation for various kinds of facili-ties When checking out the quality of a specific facility you will want to ensure that it meets all applicable standards To make that determi-nation you may want to understand which lo-cal or state regulations govern each facility you consider

Get Started EarlyItrsquos a good idea to be-

gin considering your op-tions well in advance so you donrsquot have to make

Five tips when considering an assisted-living

a hurried decision in the future Start out by visiting facilities When you arrive take note Does it seem like a pleasant place to live Is it not only clean and attractive but also easy to get around if mobil-ity is or could become a problem Do the res-idents seem happy and well cared for Are there organized activi-ties and events Do ap-propriate safety mea-sures protect residents in their kitchens bath-rooms and throughout the building These are some of the many questions you should ask You may also want to review the facilityrsquos contract with an elder care attorney and with your CPA to better un-derstand the legal and financial issues in-volved

Find Out About Fees

The national average monthly base cost for an assisted-living facility was $3477 according to a recent study Itrsquos obvi-ous that different facil-ities will have different base costs but be aware that each one may also add on a variety of ex-tra charges There may be added fees for say administering medi-cations housekeeping or certain activities Yoursquoll also want to find out whether a deposit is required and how much notice is needed when moving to a new facility or another level of care Ask too about how hospitalization costs are handled These are just a few of the finan-cial considerations to ask about before you sign a contract

Know Where to Turn for Help

The Older Americans Act requires each state to have an ombudsman program to resolve complaints about the long-term care system and advocate for en-hancements to it If you have a complaint about or problem with a fa-cility your state long-term care ombudsman may be able to help The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Re-source Center can pro-vide more information

School is in session and the air is full of plans for volleyball and Friday night football games Bands have been prac-ticing and marching to perform at the games Students in the area went to school Aug 22 to meet their teachers for the year and take supplies to school

I have the great fortune of being able to cruise the schools on ldquoMeet the Teach-errdquo night This year I began my venture at West Elementary School in Dainger-field where the lobby was full of tables and people sitting at them to offer infor-mation to the incoming parents and stu-dents Dollar Dog from the North East Texas Credit Union was sitting awfully still and for a few seconds I thought it was a stuffed one but when questioned I saw a paw move That was an awfully hot place to be that afternoon for that dog

Pre-kindergarten was a blast with students on the floor with puzzles sur-rounding them Teachers were either in the doorways waiting for new students or greeting students that came and showing them the rooms A lot of par-ents were filling out paperwork for the students

On to South Elementary School where the cafeteria was loaded with parents at the dining tables filling out papers and students waiting The scenes in the halls were the same Parents and stu-dents were looking for the right class-room and teachers were waiting to greet the students The desks were arranged neatly books placed on them The stu-dents had bottles of water or drinks waiting and lots of snacks just to wel-come them back

The wing for kindergarten and pre-kin-dergarten at Hughes Springs Elementa-ry was a jumble of little ones looking around and discovering toys and other items of interest Some students were hanging back behind the parent and

were not anxious to be leaving motherrsquos wing any time soon One mother was wiping away tears and someone asked if it was her youngest that was starting school She said that it wasnrsquot it was her only child

Over at the big-kid elementary school it was a scramble of parents and stu-dents and again there were teachers waiting to welcome them Everyone seemed anxious and happy School nurse Maudie Peters was at one table in the hallway handing out cookies to the students I hadnrsquot been around that much in the elementary school in awhile and forgot how many rooms there were The trip included a trip down Highway 49 to Avinger where the older students were gathered with teachers and par-ents in the McDaniel Building They were busy getting schedules and in-structions In the elementary it was the same scene as at all the elementary schools in our area The teachers were welcoming the new students In be-tween the students they would stand in the doorway waiting for more students Desks were arranged neatly and 7-year-old Bobby Sissom Jr was glad to be in a second grade classroom He showed me books in a boat-like bookcase and said he loved reading and was anxious to read as many books as he could this year

It was a lot of walking through five schools looking for photo ops but it was really a whole lot of fun Irsquom sure those teachers made each student feel wel-come and look forward to a new year even the ones who did not really want to leave the nest

Thanks to the teachers for taking the time to make those classrooms extra special for our area children to learn in ldquoMeet the Teacherrdquo night is a mad dash but really a lot of fun for everyone me included

The Tigers are looking to be ready for their up-coming season opener against Gladewater Fri-day after finishing up the preseason with a home scrimmage against Paris North Lamar friday

Head coach Aric Sardinia said he was happy with his teamrsquos performance in their final scrim-mage

ldquoIt was hot out there and it is hard to tell exact-ly where you are and where you will be in a real game situation We were able to see some things that we were wanting to see thoughrdquo he said ldquoI was impressed with our performance overall We did a good job in the quarter that we played Over-all I was pleased but we have to continue to take it one day at a timerdquo

The Tiger offense was able to find the end zone more than once in the 30-minute running-clock quarter against the Panthers Friday but Sardin-ia said it was his defense that caught his eye

ldquoI thought that our defense did a really good jobrdquo he said ldquoI am really impressed with our de-fense right now They are looking good and they are getting better every dayrdquo

North Lamar was held scoreless in the practice quarter

Sardina said that special teams were a area of focus in practice this week and will continue to be an area to work on in the early stages of the season

ldquoWe were able to get out there and kick the ball a little bit Irsquove seen our kicker go out and kick the ball a lot better but he did a good job of puntingrdquo Sardinia said ldquoWe got a look at our extra point and field goal team I am a little concerned about that part of our game right now They are not ex-actly where I want them to be but we will keep working on that part of the gamerdquo

The Tigers open the regular season Friday at Gladewater against the Bears a team that Sardi-na says should give his squad a good challenge

ldquoGladewater is going to be a running team that wants to contol the clock and the tempo They have a really good offensive line but I think we will be able to manage them he said ldquoThey have a running back and free safety that makes a lot of plays for them The also have a good defensive line They should be good up front on both sides of the ballrdquo

Texas sets waterfowl seasons for 2013-14

For the first time in a half century Texas wa-terfowlers can take two canvasbacks daily un-der migratory game bird seasons approved for the 2013-14 by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission

The increase comes with news of healthy water-fowl populations with all species except pintail and scaup numbering above the long term goals iden-tified in the North Amer-ican Waterfowl Manage-ment Plan

ldquoOverall waterfowl are doing quite wellrdquo Kevin Kraai Waterfowl Program Leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department told com-

missioners ldquoWersquore near record levels and in some instances in the glory days for ducksrdquo

The commission also adopted a staggered split between the North and South Zones to allow for the opportunity of an ad-ditional week for those waterfowlers who travel between zones

In another change to the season framework that should be welcomed by hunters the possession limits for all migratory game birds is now three times the daily limit For ducks including teal during the early Sept 14-29 season the possession limit is 18

The Mustang foot-ball team took to the field Thursday evening against the Queen City Bulldogs in both teams final pre-season tilt be-fore the regular season begins on Aug 30

The Mustangs showed more fluidity and explo-siveness against a Bull-dog team that at times looked overmatched The Mustangs signature Slot-T offense was click-ing most of the night with junior Fred Hop-kins slashing and dart-ing through the Bulldog defense seemingly at will Hopkins seems to be in mid-season form and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball

The scrimmage al-ternated time between varsity and junior var-sity forces With sopho-more quarterback Blake Smith guiding the junior varsity unit the offense was quite efficient total-ing 5 touchdowns to one for the Queen City JV squad The backfield for the JV is comprised of Dazon Hatten Gabriel DuBose and Nate Banks With each showing good vision and an ability to break tackles and gain the tough yardage

The junior varsity de-fense in the scrimmage did not allow the Queen City Bulldogs much day-light on the afternoon

The Mustangs varsity offensive unit seemed to click a bit more than in their previous scrim-mage The Mustang

backfield found more daylight thanks to an offensive line that is comprised of seniors Christian Smith Cade Pittman along withAsa Gaul Thomas Wallace and senior Kyre Lewis

On the other side of the ball the Mustangs were plugging holes the whole contest with the Bulldogs only finding a couple holes that trans-

lated into finding the end-zone The defensive line and line-backing corps were aggressive and flew to the ball meet-ing the Bulldog players and stopping them in their tracks with con-sistency The secondary played assignment foot-ball as well and made it tough on the Bulldog receivers not allowing much through the air

The scrimmage was concluded with both varsity units participat-ing in a live quarter of action With a real game feel and clock in play the Mustangs finished the night with a drive highlighted with a short touchdown plunge by se-nior Chris Royal

With the Mustangs ending the night scoring 8 touchdowns to 2 for

the Bulldogs those that were in attendance were left with a good feeling that come Friday night the Hughes Springs Mustangs will bring a style of football sure to make the Mustang Na-tion happy

The Mustangs will open the regular season Friday as they play host to the Clarksville Tigers at 730

On May 20 the world watched in horror as an EF5 tornado swept through Moore Okla More than 20 people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed leaving the community devastated and literally buried beneath tons of de-bris

Meanwhile the North-east Texas Community College Welderrsquos Associ-ation began to formulate an idea of how they could reach out to help the peo-ple of Moore Within two weeks the group had for-mulated a plan of action and 12 people headed north to lend a hand

ldquoThe entire group felt strongly about doing something to help Rath-er than just sending sup-plies we decided it would be better to actually go up there and assist with the cleanuprdquo Marcos Sanchez NTCC welding instructor and Welderrsquos Association advisor said ldquoWe were able to use mon-ey we had raised the pre-vious school year to cover expenses and folks from the college pitched in by donating trash bags and other suppliesrdquo

The group met at 330 am on a Saturday in ear-ly June and loaded into two trucks to make the 250+ mile trek to Moore They arrived around 930 am and checked in with Serve Moore a faith-based relief organization The welders were sent to assist with cleaning up a park area near the remains of a residential neighborhood

ldquoTo see the devastation on television is one thing To actually see it up close in person is completely differentrdquo Mr Sanchez said ldquoThe entire park was covered in items from peoplersquos homes and trees were scattered around so that they looked like noo-dles in a pan Nobody re-ally knew where to begin and it was difficult to or-ganize the processrdquo

The NTCC group dug in and soon figured out it was easier to separate the trash into piles based on materials Other volun-teers began to follow their lead and by the end of the day their work began to reveal the park beneath the rubble

ldquoIt was really something to experience There were tons of people from all over the country pitching

in to help ndash we were all strangers but we were accomplishing something together By the end of the day we had piles of metal that were taller than buildingsrdquo Mr San-chez said ldquoThe worksite was more than a quar-ter mile from the nearest house but we picked up dolls and all sorts of per-sonal items It was hard to imagine a storm doing that much damagerdquo

The Welderrsquos Associa-tion group spent the night in the area and continued to work on Sunday

ldquoWe spent a full day-and-a-half working in that park Before we left we all went up on this hill and looked down to get a broader view of the whole area As hard as we had worked we really hadnrsquot made a dent in the big picture We knew then that we had to go back a second timerdquo Kenneth Barker of Mount Pleas-ant vice president of the NTCC Welderrsquos Associa-tion said

In order to raise money the students held a car wash in Daingerfield and received a few private do-nations The employees of Priefert Manufacturing also gave $500 to help cov-er expenses ndash which was part of more than $10000 that the company raised to benefit relief in Moore It was early August before six members of the group were able to make the next trip

According to Mr San-chez the landscape had changed drastically in the two and half months that had passed since they were there the first time

ldquoIt was unbelievable how much different things looked in August because so much dem-olition had taken place The entire area that we had worked on before had been cleaned up and was basically a blank slaterdquo Mr Sanchez said

They checked in with Serve Moore again but got a different assignment this time They were sent to a residential neighbor-hood to remove trees and limbs from residential yards

ldquoThe people we helped were all very grateful They really appreciated anything we could do for them - from just clean-ing up small limbs to re-moving big trees They were just thrilled to have us thererdquo Ana Karen a welding student from Longview who went on

both trips saidFloyd Gates saw the

team working in a yard and offered to pay them to cut up a tree in his yard down the street They vol-unteered to do the work for free and got to know Mr Gates better through-out the day He recently commented about their work on the NTCC Weld-errsquos Association Facebook page

ldquoI just want to thank all of you once again for helping me with my tor-nado damaged trees As a retired Texas Firefight-er it made me proud that some kindhearted Texans showed up at my house here in Moore and helped me out in a time of need It was like an answer to my prayers Hope you had a safe trip home and God bless you allrdquo Mr Gates wrote

NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation members who went on the first work trip in-cluded Marcos Sanchez (advisor) Dustin Smith Ana Karen Kenneth Bark-er Mark Johnson Deon Williams Jerry Simpson Donny Donham Mark Lawson David Olivares Miguel E Alvarado and Jaime Zamarripa Mak-ing the second trip were Mr Sanchez Mr Barker Ms Karen Mr Donham

Jesus Bernabe and Tim Stevenson

Mr Sanchez founded the NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation in 2012 as a way to help engage welding stu-dents and get them more involved in campus life They soon began partic-ipating in activities and raising money for their student organization They have adopted a two-mile stretch of Highway 11 and they participated in the Texas Outhouse Races at the Mount Pleas-ant Everything Texas fes-tival Fundraising efforts have included a drawing for a trailer built by NTCC welding students and a benefit barbecue

ldquoWe want to thank the people who have given money and supplies to our organization Your gifts enable us to participate in service projects like our trips to Moore and they are very much appreciat-edrdquo Mr Sanchez said

Active SeniorsActive Seniors

Most of us say we would like to age gracefully But the concept seems pretty much out of our hands or in the hands of a plastic surgeon We say we arenrsquot going to take those drastic measures but then many of us end up doing so Why Be-cause we didnrsquot just take the simple natural mea-sures we could have tak-en daily while we were still young

Did you know that only one third of what con-trols how gracefully we will age is determined by genetics Itrsquos shocking I know Maybe your dadrsquos gray hairs that popped up at the age of 30 or your momrsquos arthritis doesnrsquot have to be a major pan-ic point for you after all One third is genetics That means there is an entire two thirds that are completely based on your own choices

Keep reading to find some of the healthiest ways to approach these choices and learn how to age gracefully

The pursuit of happi-ness shouldnrsquot end with career marriage and family Because sadly as you age these things may become less present in your life But happi-ness boosts the immune system and reduces stress When you are stressed your heart rate goes up your digestion slows and blood flow is even blocked to certain muscles If you expe-rience chronic stress these conditions could lead to actual physical disorders like obesity diabetes ulcers and even cancer

Keep active and in-volved Happiness is easier to cultivate than you think Believe that life still has enjoyable experiences to offer you Even if you just donrsquot see how you can be happy as you age force yourself to go to events to gath-erings to dinner with friends Yoursquoll usually be pleasantly surprised with what you find and positive attitude and op-timism are linked to lon-gevity If yoursquore not sure what makes you hap-py learn Take notes at times when you feel par-ticularly uplifted and those when you feel anx-iety-ridden Where are you Who are you with What are you doing Ad-just your daily activities accordingly

The brain loves new experiences and sensa-tions Have you ever real-

We can grow old gracefully

ly regretted trying some-thing new So long as it didnrsquot harm you what you probably felt most of the time was a rush It feels good to know you have the guts to put your-self in unfamiliar envi-ronments and try things you arenrsquot necessarily skilled at Sometimes you have to fumble in order to have a new enjoyable experience But what you remember more than get-ting it wrong is how ex-citing it was to try some-thing new

Contrary to what many people believe your brain has the ability to continue building neural connections throughout life So donrsquot be afraid of new phenomena that simply didnrsquot exist when you were younger Jump head first into social me-dia classes or trying a new food trend everyone is raving about Doing so will cultivate curiosity creativity and an open mind additional traits linked to longevity

We are always harder on ourselves than others Wersquoll spend hours cook-ing a healthy meal for a friend on the weekend meanwhile we take our-selves through fast-food drive-thrursquos during the week We tell our friends how gorgeous they are and make self-deprecat-ing comments about our-selves

It may be harder than ever to do so now that yoursquore aging but itrsquos also more important than ever to love yourself Tell yourself you are fabulous Make yourself fabulous by dressing up standing up straight and quitting those self-deprecating thoughts and comments Do the things that make you happy more often and remind yourself itrsquos because you deserve to Why Because your body becomes stressed when you have thoughts like

ldquoIrsquom not good enoughrdquo And we already know stress is bad for the body

Research shows that those who are more so-cially connected -- that doesnrsquot just mean going to activities and events but actually cultivating friendships from them -- live longer This is just another way to ward off depression

As we age and can no longer do the things we used to do we begin to feel ldquouselessrdquo But something you can always offer is a set of ears some good ad-vice and if anything the ability to make someone laugh Think about how much the friends who do that for you mean to you You mean just as much to them You may not be a doctor actress or en-trepreneur anymore But through all of those years of work you also became the unique entertaining and wise individual you are That is something you will always have to offer

Exercising regularly makes you less likely to develop diabetes heart disease dementia os-teoarthritis depression and obesity One study found that women who walk briskly for just 5 hours a week have a 76 higher chance of aging gracefully and healthful-ly with less physical and mental impairment Of course if you are aging you canrsquot exactly run an hour a day or rock climb like you used to (if you used to at all) Look into low impact workouts like walking resistance training tai chi and yoga

You canrsquot control every biological process that goes on in your body as you age but what you can always control is your outlook and the life-style choices you make It turns out thatrsquos more than half the battle

Ah the golden years A time for chess knitting and bingo plus the occa-sional 4 orsquoclock dinner followed by a letter to the grandkids Sound famil-iar Probably not because many of todayrsquos seniors are more likely to get mov-ing eat fresh veggies from their gardens and text the grandkids about the new pictures on their Face-book wall Part of being an active senior might in-clude activities like board games sewing and dining out with friends but hob-bies for the older genera-tion have long been cross-ing over into what all ages enjoy

Are you a senior If yoursquore in your mid-40s yoursquore considered a senior in some parts of the world but by most Western esti-mates ldquoold agerdquo falls with-in the 60- to 65-year range and older because thatrsquos the age set for many insur-ance benefits and pensions [source Encyclopaedia Britannica] According to the US Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) the number of people aged 65 or older will more than double by 2030 and ideas for improving the quality of life for those living longer means in-creasing activity [source CDC] Maybe a more im-portant question than ldquoAre you a seniorrdquo is ldquoAre you an active seniorrdquo

Whether looking to in-crease passive activity by exercising your mind or to increase physical activ-ity by exercising -- or both ndash todayrsquos seniors are rede-fining and even extending their later years

Todayrsquos seniors are increasingly more active

If yoursquore age 65 or older odds are you have a chron-ic condition

According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control amp Prevention about 80 per-cent of seniors in the US have at least one chronic condition The most com-mon chronic conditions among seniors are ldquosilent killersrdquomdashdiseases such as high blood pressure di-abetes and heart disease that often have no phys-ical symptoms Despite their silent nature these conditions may result in life-threatening complica-tions disability and sig-nificant costs if not prop-erly managed

ldquoA chronic condition like diabetes or heart dis-ease should not be tak-en lightlyrdquo said Rhonda Randall DO geriatrician and chief medical officer UnitedHealthcare Medi-care amp Retirement ldquoItrsquos important to get screened for these illnesses annual-ly even if you donrsquot have symptoms If you have a chronic condition ed-ucate yourself and take action to help reduce your risk of serious complica-tionsrdquo

More than 1 million people nationwide live in assisted-living fa-cilities according to government estimates Therersquos no common-ly accepted definition for these facilities but they all offer some level of assistance to people who donrsquot need full-time attention but who may need help with person-al care taking medica-tions or other concerns If you are considering an assisted-living ar-rangement for yourself or a loved one here is advice on issues to ad-dress

Consider Your Op-tions

Will your loved one be happier aging in this place Assisted living is a good choice for many people who can no lon-ger manage on their own but itrsquos not the only one It may be possible for example to arrange for home health care for someone whorsquos not comfortable with the idea of living in a facil-ity or who doesnrsquot want to move from their long-term residence Staying in their own home may be isolating however for someone who has lost some or all of their mobility Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to take into account many factorsmdashincluding financial physical mental and emotionalmdashbefore mak-ing a decision

Know What Yoursquore Getting

There are no nation-al regulations for as-sisted-living facilities which means that li-censing and standards may vary from state to state Even within one state there may be dif-ferent levels of licens-ing or regulation for various kinds of facili-ties When checking out the quality of a specific facility you will want to ensure that it meets all applicable standards To make that determi-nation you may want to understand which lo-cal or state regulations govern each facility you consider

Get Started EarlyItrsquos a good idea to be-

gin considering your op-tions well in advance so you donrsquot have to make

Five tips when considering an assisted-living

a hurried decision in the future Start out by visiting facilities When you arrive take note Does it seem like a pleasant place to live Is it not only clean and attractive but also easy to get around if mobil-ity is or could become a problem Do the res-idents seem happy and well cared for Are there organized activi-ties and events Do ap-propriate safety mea-sures protect residents in their kitchens bath-rooms and throughout the building These are some of the many questions you should ask You may also want to review the facilityrsquos contract with an elder care attorney and with your CPA to better un-derstand the legal and financial issues in-volved

Find Out About Fees

The national average monthly base cost for an assisted-living facility was $3477 according to a recent study Itrsquos obvi-ous that different facil-ities will have different base costs but be aware that each one may also add on a variety of ex-tra charges There may be added fees for say administering medi-cations housekeeping or certain activities Yoursquoll also want to find out whether a deposit is required and how much notice is needed when moving to a new facility or another level of care Ask too about how hospitalization costs are handled These are just a few of the finan-cial considerations to ask about before you sign a contract

Know Where to Turn for Help

The Older Americans Act requires each state to have an ombudsman program to resolve complaints about the long-term care system and advocate for en-hancements to it If you have a complaint about or problem with a fa-cility your state long-term care ombudsman may be able to help The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Re-source Center can pro-vide more information

School is in session and the air is full of plans for volleyball and Friday night football games Bands have been prac-ticing and marching to perform at the games Students in the area went to school Aug 22 to meet their teachers for the year and take supplies to school

I have the great fortune of being able to cruise the schools on ldquoMeet the Teach-errdquo night This year I began my venture at West Elementary School in Dainger-field where the lobby was full of tables and people sitting at them to offer infor-mation to the incoming parents and stu-dents Dollar Dog from the North East Texas Credit Union was sitting awfully still and for a few seconds I thought it was a stuffed one but when questioned I saw a paw move That was an awfully hot place to be that afternoon for that dog

Pre-kindergarten was a blast with students on the floor with puzzles sur-rounding them Teachers were either in the doorways waiting for new students or greeting students that came and showing them the rooms A lot of par-ents were filling out paperwork for the students

On to South Elementary School where the cafeteria was loaded with parents at the dining tables filling out papers and students waiting The scenes in the halls were the same Parents and stu-dents were looking for the right class-room and teachers were waiting to greet the students The desks were arranged neatly books placed on them The stu-dents had bottles of water or drinks waiting and lots of snacks just to wel-come them back

The wing for kindergarten and pre-kin-dergarten at Hughes Springs Elementa-ry was a jumble of little ones looking around and discovering toys and other items of interest Some students were hanging back behind the parent and

were not anxious to be leaving motherrsquos wing any time soon One mother was wiping away tears and someone asked if it was her youngest that was starting school She said that it wasnrsquot it was her only child

Over at the big-kid elementary school it was a scramble of parents and stu-dents and again there were teachers waiting to welcome them Everyone seemed anxious and happy School nurse Maudie Peters was at one table in the hallway handing out cookies to the students I hadnrsquot been around that much in the elementary school in awhile and forgot how many rooms there were The trip included a trip down Highway 49 to Avinger where the older students were gathered with teachers and par-ents in the McDaniel Building They were busy getting schedules and in-structions In the elementary it was the same scene as at all the elementary schools in our area The teachers were welcoming the new students In be-tween the students they would stand in the doorway waiting for more students Desks were arranged neatly and 7-year-old Bobby Sissom Jr was glad to be in a second grade classroom He showed me books in a boat-like bookcase and said he loved reading and was anxious to read as many books as he could this year

It was a lot of walking through five schools looking for photo ops but it was really a whole lot of fun Irsquom sure those teachers made each student feel wel-come and look forward to a new year even the ones who did not really want to leave the nest

Thanks to the teachers for taking the time to make those classrooms extra special for our area children to learn in ldquoMeet the Teacherrdquo night is a mad dash but really a lot of fun for everyone me included

Pets One dog and three catsOccupation Teacher at Wiley College and pastor at First United Methodist Church in Lone Star

One of the best things about my job is I get to represent Jesus

My ideal vacation is Someplace in the mountains nice hiking trails and few peo-ple

My hero is Brother Andrew for his boldness to give his life taking the good news of Je-sus to anyone anywhere even to people others would reckon his enemies

My favorite TV shows are Mysteries amp Sci-Fi

My favorite healthy snack is CheeseA cause I most believe in is The good news of Jesus is Lord

If I could change one thing about East Tex-as it would be More ethnic restaurants nearby (Japanese Indian Mediterranean etc)

The person who has influenced my life most is John Wesley The way he combined a deep commitment to Christ with serious intellectual pursuits

The scariest thing that ever happened to me was Irsquom absent minded I go through life knowing Irsquom forgetting something but I donrsquot know what it is

If I had to do it all over again Irsquod Ask for more help and advice along the way

If I won a trip to anywhere I would go to Europe

I would have liked to participate in the his-torical event of Pentecost

Two words that describe me are Humorous and sesquipedalian

Included on my bucket list are Writing an-other book (or more)

The Tigers are looking to be ready for their up-coming season opener against Gladewater Fri-day after finishing up the preseason with a home scrimmage against Paris North Lamar friday

Head coach Aric Sardinia said he was happy with his teamrsquos performance in their final scrim-mage

ldquoIt was hot out there and it is hard to tell exact-ly where you are and where you will be in a real game situation We were able to see some things that we were wanting to see thoughrdquo he said ldquoI was impressed with our performance overall We did a good job in the quarter that we played Over-all I was pleased but we have to continue to take it one day at a timerdquo

The Tiger offense was able to find the end zone more than once in the 30-minute running-clock quarter against the Panthers Friday but Sardin-ia said it was his defense that caught his eye

ldquoI thought that our defense did a really good jobrdquo he said ldquoI am really impressed with our de-fense right now They are looking good and they are getting better every dayrdquo

North Lamar was held scoreless in the practice quarter

Sardina said that special teams were a area of focus in practice this week and will continue to be an area to work on in the early stages of the season

ldquoWe were able to get out there and kick the ball a little bit Irsquove seen our kicker go out and kick the ball a lot better but he did a good job of puntingrdquo Sardinia said ldquoWe got a look at our extra point and field goal team I am a little concerned about that part of our game right now They are not ex-actly where I want them to be but we will keep working on that part of the gamerdquo

The Tigers open the regular season Friday at Gladewater against the Bears a team that Sardi-na says should give his squad a good challenge

ldquoGladewater is going to be a running team that wants to contol the clock and the tempo They have a really good offensive line but I think we will be able to manage them he said ldquoThey have a running back and free safety that makes a lot of plays for them The also have a good defensive line They should be good up front on both sides of the ballrdquo

Fridayrsquos season opener is scheduled to begin at 730 pm

Texas sets waterfowl seasons for 2013-14

For the first time in a half century Texas wa-terfowlers can take two canvasbacks daily un-der migratory game bird seasons approved for the 2013-14 by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission

The increase comes with news of healthy water-fowl populations with all species except pintail and scaup numbering above the long term goals iden-tified in the North Amer-ican Waterfowl Manage-ment Plan

ldquoOverall waterfowl are doing quite wellrdquo Kevin Kraai Waterfowl Program Leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department told com-

missioners ldquoWersquore near record levels and in some instances in the glory days for ducksrdquo

The commission also adopted a staggered split between the North and South Zones to allow for the opportunity of an ad-ditional week for those waterfowlers who travel between zones

In another change to the season framework that should be welcomed by hunters the possession limits for all migratory game birds is now three times the daily limit For ducks including teal during the early Sept 14-29 season the possession limit is 18

The Mustang foot-ball team took to the field Thursday evening against the Queen City Bulldogs in both teams final pre-season tilt be-fore the regular season begins on Aug 30

The Mustangs showed more fluidity and explo-siveness against a Bull-dog team that at times looked overmatched The Mustangs signature Slot-T offense was click-ing most of the night with junior Fred Hop-kins slashing and dart-ing through the Bulldog defense seemingly at will Hopkins seems to be in mid-season form and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball

The scrimmage al-ternated time between varsity and junior var-sity forces With sopho-more quarterback Blake Smith guiding the junior varsity unit the offense was quite efficient total-ing 5 touchdowns to one for the Queen City JV squad The backfield for the JV is comprised of Dazon Hatten Gabriel DuBose and Nate Banks With each showing good vision and an ability to break tackles and gain the tough yardage

The junior varsity de-fense in the scrimmage did not allow the Queen City Bulldogs much day-light on the afternoon

The Mustangs varsity offensive unit seemed to click a bit more than in their previous scrim-mage The Mustang

backfield found more daylight thanks to an offensive line that is comprised of seniors Christian Smith Cade Pittman along withAsa Gaul Thomas Wallace and senior Kyre Lewis

On the other side of the ball the Mustangs were plugging holes the whole contest with the Bulldogs only finding a couple holes that trans-

lated into finding the end-zone The defensive line and line-backing corps were aggressive and flew to the ball meet-ing the Bulldog players and stopping them in their tracks with con-sistency The secondary played assignment foot-ball as well and made it tough on the Bulldog receivers not allowing much through the air

The scrimmage was concluded with both varsity units participat-ing in a live quarter of action With a real game feel and clock in play the Mustangs finished the night with a drive highlighted with a short touchdown plunge by se-nior Chris Royal

With the Mustangs ending the night scoring 8 touchdowns to 2 for

the Bulldogs those that were in attendance were left with a good feeling that come Friday night the Hughes Springs Mustangs will bring a style of football sure to make the Mustang Na-tion happy

The Mustangs will open the regular season Friday as they play host to the Clarksville Tigers at 730

On May 20 the world watched in horror as an EF5 tornado swept through Moore Okla More than 20 people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed leaving the community devastated and literally buried beneath tons of de-bris

Meanwhile the North-east Texas Community College Welderrsquos Associ-ation began to formulate an idea of how they could reach out to help the peo-ple of Moore Within two weeks the group had for-mulated a plan of action and 12 people headed north to lend a hand

ldquoThe entire group felt strongly about doing something to help Rath-er than just sending sup-plies we decided it would be better to actually go up there and assist with the cleanuprdquo Marcos Sanchez NTCC welding instructor and Welderrsquos Association advisor said ldquoWe were able to use mon-ey we had raised the pre-vious school year to cover expenses and folks from the college pitched in by donating trash bags and other suppliesrdquo

The group met at 330 am on a Saturday in ear-ly June and loaded into two trucks to make the 250+ mile trek to Moore They arrived around 930 am and checked in with Serve Moore a faith-based relief organization The welders were sent to assist with cleaning up a park area near the remains of a residential neighborhood

ldquoTo see the devastation on television is one thing To actually see it up close in person is completely differentrdquo Mr Sanchez said ldquoThe entire park was covered in items from peoplersquos homes and trees were scattered around so that they looked like noo-dles in a pan Nobody re-ally knew where to begin and it was difficult to or-ganize the processrdquo

The NTCC group dug in and soon figured out it was easier to separate the trash into piles based on materials Other volun-teers began to follow their lead and by the end of the day their work began to reveal the park beneath the rubble

ldquoIt was really something to experience There were tons of people from all over the country pitching

in to help ndash we were all strangers but we were accomplishing something together By the end of the day we had piles of metal that were taller than buildingsrdquo Mr San-chez said ldquoThe worksite was more than a quar-ter mile from the nearest house but we picked up dolls and all sorts of per-sonal items It was hard to imagine a storm doing that much damagerdquo

The Welderrsquos Associa-tion group spent the night in the area and continued to work on Sunday

ldquoWe spent a full day-and-a-half working in that park Before we left we all went up on this hill and looked down to get a broader view of the whole area As hard as we had worked we really hadnrsquot made a dent in the big picture We knew then that we had to go back a second timerdquo Kenneth Barker of Mount Pleas-ant vice president of the NTCC Welderrsquos Associa-tion said

In order to raise money the students held a car wash in Daingerfield and received a few private do-nations The employees of Priefert Manufacturing also gave $500 to help cov-er expenses ndash which was part of more than $10000 that the company raised to benefit relief in Moore It was early August before six members of the group were able to make the next trip

According to Mr San-chez the landscape had changed drastically in the two and half months that had passed since they were there the first time

ldquoIt was unbelievable how much different things looked in August because so much dem-olition had taken place The entire area that we had worked on before had been cleaned up and was basically a blank slaterdquo Mr Sanchez said

They checked in with Serve Moore again but got a different assignment this time They were sent to a residential neighbor-hood to remove trees and limbs from residential yards

ldquoThe people we helped were all very grateful They really appreciated anything we could do for them - from just clean-ing up small limbs to re-moving big trees They were just thrilled to have us thererdquo Ana Karen a welding student from Longview who went on

both trips saidFloyd Gates saw the

team working in a yard and offered to pay them to cut up a tree in his yard down the street They vol-unteered to do the work for free and got to know Mr Gates better through-out the day He recently commented about their work on the NTCC Weld-errsquos Association Facebook page

ldquoI just want to thank all of you once again for helping me with my tor-nado damaged trees As a retired Texas Firefight-er it made me proud that some kindhearted Texans showed up at my house here in Moore and helped me out in a time of need It was like an answer to my prayers Hope you had a safe trip home and God bless you allrdquo Mr Gates wrote

NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation members who went on the first work trip in-cluded Marcos Sanchez (advisor) Dustin Smith Ana Karen Kenneth Bark-er Mark Johnson Deon Williams Jerry Simpson Donny Donham Mark Lawson David Olivares Miguel E Alvarado and Jaime Zamarripa Mak-ing the second trip were Mr Sanchez Mr Barker Ms Karen Mr Donham

Jesus Bernabe and Tim Stevenson

Mr Sanchez founded the NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation in 2012 as a way to help engage welding stu-dents and get them more involved in campus life They soon began partic-ipating in activities and raising money for their student organization They have adopted a two-mile stretch of Highway 11 and they participated in the Texas Outhouse Races at the Mount Pleas-ant Everything Texas fes-tival Fundraising efforts have included a drawing for a trailer built by NTCC welding students and a benefit barbecue

ldquoWe want to thank the people who have given money and supplies to our organization Your gifts enable us to participate in service projects like our trips to Moore and they are very much appreciat-edrdquo Mr Sanchez said

Active SeniorsActive Seniors

Most of us say we would like to age gracefully But the concept seems pretty much out of our hands or in the hands of a plastic surgeon We say we arenrsquot going to take those drastic measures but then many of us end up doing so Why Be-cause we didnrsquot just take the simple natural mea-sures we could have tak-en daily while we were still young

Did you know that only one third of what con-trols how gracefully we will age is determined by genetics Itrsquos shocking I know Maybe your dadrsquos gray hairs that popped up at the age of 30 or your momrsquos arthritis doesnrsquot have to be a major pan-ic point for you after all One third is genetics That means there is an entire two thirds that are completely based on your own choices

Keep reading to find some of the healthiest ways to approach these choices and learn how to age gracefully

The pursuit of happi-ness shouldnrsquot end with career marriage and family Because sadly as you age these things may become less present in your life But happi-ness boosts the immune system and reduces stress When you are stressed your heart rate goes up your digestion slows and blood flow is even blocked to certain muscles If you expe-rience chronic stress these conditions could lead to actual physical disorders like obesity diabetes ulcers and even cancer

Keep active and in-volved Happiness is easier to cultivate than you think Believe that life still has enjoyable experiences to offer you Even if you just donrsquot see how you can be happy as you age force yourself to go to events to gath-erings to dinner with friends Yoursquoll usually be pleasantly surprised with what you find and positive attitude and op-timism are linked to lon-gevity If yoursquore not sure what makes you hap-py learn Take notes at times when you feel par-ticularly uplifted and those when you feel anx-iety-ridden Where are you Who are you with What are you doing Ad-just your daily activities accordingly

The brain loves new experiences and sensa-tions Have you ever real-

We can grow old gracefully

ly regretted trying some-thing new So long as it didnrsquot harm you what you probably felt most of the time was a rush It feels good to know you have the guts to put your-self in unfamiliar envi-ronments and try things you arenrsquot necessarily skilled at Sometimes you have to fumble in order to have a new enjoyable experience But what you remember more than get-ting it wrong is how ex-citing it was to try some-thing new

Contrary to what many people believe your brain has the ability to continue building neural connections throughout life So donrsquot be afraid of new phenomena that simply didnrsquot exist when you were younger Jump head first into social me-dia classes or trying a new food trend everyone is raving about Doing so will cultivate curiosity creativity and an open mind additional traits linked to longevity

We are always harder on ourselves than others Wersquoll spend hours cook-ing a healthy meal for a friend on the weekend meanwhile we take our-selves through fast-food drive-thrursquos during the week We tell our friends how gorgeous they are and make self-deprecat-ing comments about our-selves

It may be harder than ever to do so now that yoursquore aging but itrsquos also more important than ever to love yourself Tell yourself you are fabulous Make yourself fabulous by dressing up standing up straight and quitting those self-deprecating thoughts and comments Do the things that make you happy more often and remind yourself itrsquos because you deserve to Why Because your body becomes stressed when you have thoughts like

ldquoIrsquom not good enoughrdquo And we already know stress is bad for the body

Research shows that those who are more so-cially connected -- that doesnrsquot just mean going to activities and events but actually cultivating friendships from them -- live longer This is just another way to ward off depression

As we age and can no longer do the things we used to do we begin to feel ldquouselessrdquo But something you can always offer is a set of ears some good ad-vice and if anything the ability to make someone laugh Think about how much the friends who do that for you mean to you You mean just as much to them You may not be a doctor actress or en-trepreneur anymore But through all of those years of work you also became the unique entertaining and wise individual you are That is something you will always have to offer

Exercising regularly makes you less likely to develop diabetes heart disease dementia os-teoarthritis depression and obesity One study found that women who walk briskly for just 5 hours a week have a 76 higher chance of aging gracefully and healthful-ly with less physical and mental impairment Of course if you are aging you canrsquot exactly run an hour a day or rock climb like you used to (if you used to at all) Look into low impact workouts like walking resistance training tai chi and yoga

You canrsquot control every biological process that goes on in your body as you age but what you can always control is your outlook and the life-style choices you make It turns out thatrsquos more than half the battle

Ah the golden years A time for chess knitting and bingo plus the occa-sional 4 orsquoclock dinner followed by a letter to the grandkids Sound famil-iar Probably not because many of todayrsquos seniors are more likely to get mov-ing eat fresh veggies from their gardens and text the grandkids about the new pictures on their Face-book wall Part of being an active senior might in-clude activities like board games sewing and dining out with friends but hob-bies for the older genera-tion have long been cross-ing over into what all ages enjoy

Are you a senior If yoursquore in your mid-40s yoursquore considered a senior in some parts of the world but by most Western esti-mates ldquoold agerdquo falls with-in the 60- to 65-year range and older because thatrsquos the age set for many insur-ance benefits and pensions [source Encyclopaedia Britannica] According to the US Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) the number of people aged 65 or older will more than double by 2030 and ideas for improving the quality of life for those living longer means in-creasing activity [source CDC] Maybe a more im-portant question than ldquoAre you a seniorrdquo is ldquoAre you an active seniorrdquo

Whether looking to in-crease passive activity by exercising your mind or to increase physical activ-ity by exercising -- or both ndash todayrsquos seniors are rede-fining and even extending their later years

Todayrsquos seniors are increasingly more active

If yoursquore age 65 or older odds are you have a chron-ic condition

According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control amp Prevention about 80 per-cent of seniors in the US have at least one chronic condition The most com-mon chronic conditions among seniors are ldquosilent killersrdquomdashdiseases such as high blood pressure di-abetes and heart disease that often have no phys-ical symptoms Despite their silent nature these conditions may result in life-threatening complica-tions disability and sig-nificant costs if not prop-erly managed

ldquoA chronic condition like diabetes or heart dis-ease should not be tak-en lightlyrdquo said Rhonda Randall DO geriatrician and chief medical officer UnitedHealthcare Medi-care amp Retirement ldquoItrsquos important to get screened for these illnesses annual-ly even if you donrsquot have symptoms If you have a chronic condition ed-ucate yourself and take action to help reduce your risk of serious complica-tionsrdquo

More than 1 million people nationwide live in assisted-living fa-cilities according to government estimates Therersquos no common-ly accepted definition for these facilities but they all offer some level of assistance to people who donrsquot need full-time attention but who may need help with person-al care taking medica-tions or other concerns If you are considering an assisted-living ar-rangement for yourself or a loved one here is advice on issues to ad-dress

Consider Your Op-tions

Will your loved one be happier aging in this place Assisted living is a good choice for many people who can no lon-ger manage on their own but itrsquos not the only one It may be possible for example to arrange for home health care for someone whorsquos not comfortable with the idea of living in a facil-ity or who doesnrsquot want to move from their long-term residence Staying in their own home may be isolating however for someone who has lost some or all of their mobility Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to take into account many factorsmdashincluding financial physical mental and emotionalmdashbefore mak-ing a decision

Know What Yoursquore Getting

There are no nation-al regulations for as-sisted-living facilities which means that li-censing and standards may vary from state to state Even within one state there may be dif-ferent levels of licens-ing or regulation for various kinds of facili-ties When checking out the quality of a specific facility you will want to ensure that it meets all applicable standards To make that determi-nation you may want to understand which lo-cal or state regulations govern each facility you consider

Get Started EarlyItrsquos a good idea to be-

gin considering your op-tions well in advance so you donrsquot have to make

Five tips when considering an assisted-living

a hurried decision in the future Start out by visiting facilities When you arrive take note Does it seem like a pleasant place to live Is it not only clean and attractive but also easy to get around if mobil-ity is or could become a problem Do the res-idents seem happy and well cared for Are there organized activi-ties and events Do ap-propriate safety mea-sures protect residents in their kitchens bath-rooms and throughout the building These are some of the many questions you should ask You may also want to review the facilityrsquos contract with an elder care attorney and with your CPA to better un-derstand the legal and financial issues in-volved

Find Out About Fees

The national average monthly base cost for an assisted-living facility was $3477 according to a recent study Itrsquos obvi-ous that different facil-ities will have different base costs but be aware that each one may also add on a variety of ex-tra charges There may be added fees for say administering medi-cations housekeeping or certain activities Yoursquoll also want to find out whether a deposit is required and how much notice is needed when moving to a new facility or another level of care Ask too about how hospitalization costs are handled These are just a few of the finan-cial considerations to ask about before you sign a contract

Know Where to Turn for Help

The Older Americans Act requires each state to have an ombudsman program to resolve complaints about the long-term care system and advocate for en-hancements to it If you have a complaint about or problem with a fa-cility your state long-term care ombudsman may be able to help The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Re-source Center can pro-vide more information

The Tigers are looking to be ready for their up-coming season opener against Gladewater Fri-day after finishing up the preseason with a home scrimmage against Paris North Lamar friday

Head coach Aric Sardinia said he was happy with his teamrsquos performance in their final scrim-mage

ldquoIt was hot out there and it is hard to tell exact-ly where you are and where you will be in a real game situation We were able to see some things that we were wanting to see thoughrdquo he said ldquoI was impressed with our performance overall We did a good job in the quarter that we played Over-all I was pleased but we have to continue to take it one day at a timerdquo

The Tiger offense was able to find the end zone more than once in the 30-minute running-clock quarter against the Panthers Friday but Sardin-ia said it was his defense that caught his eye

ldquoI thought that our defense did a really good jobrdquo he said ldquoI am really impressed with our de-fense right now They are looking good and they are getting better every dayrdquo

North Lamar was held scoreless in the practice quarter

Sardina said that special teams were a area of focus in practice this week and will continue to be an area to work on in the early stages of the season

ldquoWe were able to get out there and kick the ball a little bit Irsquove seen our kicker go out and kick the ball a lot better but he did a good job of puntingrdquo Sardinia said ldquoWe got a look at our extra point and field goal team I am a little concerned about that part of our game right now They are not ex-actly where I want them to be but we will keep working on that part of the gamerdquo

The Tigers open the regular season Friday at Gladewater against the Bears a team that Sardi-na says should give his squad a good challenge

ldquoGladewater is going to be a running team that wants to contol the clock and the tempo They have a really good offensive line but I think we will be able to manage them he said ldquoThey have a running back and free safety that makes a lot of plays for them The also have a good defensive line They should be good up front on both sides of the ballrdquo

Texas sets waterfowl seasons for 2013-14

For the first time in a half century Texas wa-terfowlers can take two canvasbacks daily un-der migratory game bird seasons approved for the 2013-14 by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission

The increase comes with news of healthy water-fowl populations with all species except pintail and scaup numbering above the long term goals iden-tified in the North Amer-ican Waterfowl Manage-ment Plan

ldquoOverall waterfowl are doing quite wellrdquo Kevin Kraai Waterfowl Program Leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department told com-

missioners ldquoWersquore near record levels and in some instances in the glory days for ducksrdquo

The commission also adopted a staggered split between the North and South Zones to allow for the opportunity of an ad-ditional week for those waterfowlers who travel between zones

In another change to the season framework that should be welcomed by hunters the possession limits for all migratory game birds is now three times the daily limit For ducks including teal during the early Sept 14-29 season the possession limit is 18

The Mustang foot-ball team took to the field Thursday evening against the Queen City Bulldogs in both teams final pre-season tilt be-fore the regular season begins on Aug 30

The Mustangs showed more fluidity and explo-siveness against a Bull-dog team that at times looked overmatched The Mustangs signature Slot-T offense was click-ing most of the night with junior Fred Hop-kins slashing and dart-ing through the Bulldog defense seemingly at will Hopkins seems to be in mid-season form and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball

The scrimmage al-ternated time between varsity and junior var-sity forces With sopho-more quarterback Blake Smith guiding the junior varsity unit the offense was quite efficient total-ing 5 touchdowns to one for the Queen City JV squad The backfield for the JV is comprised of Dazon Hatten Gabriel DuBose and Nate Banks With each showing good vision and an ability to break tackles and gain the tough yardage

The junior varsity de-fense in the scrimmage did not allow the Queen City Bulldogs much day-light on the afternoon

The Mustangs varsity offensive unit seemed to click a bit more than in their previous scrim-mage The Mustang

backfield found more daylight thanks to an offensive line that is comprised of seniors Christian Smith Cade Pittman along withAsa Gaul Thomas Wallace and senior Kyre Lewis

On the other side of the ball the Mustangs were plugging holes the whole contest with the Bulldogs only finding a couple holes that trans-

lated into finding the end-zone The defensive line and line-backing corps were aggressive and flew to the ball meet-ing the Bulldog players and stopping them in their tracks with con-sistency The secondary played assignment foot-ball as well and made it tough on the Bulldog receivers not allowing much through the air

The scrimmage was concluded with both varsity units participat-ing in a live quarter of action With a real game feel and clock in play the Mustangs finished the night with a drive highlighted with a short touchdown plunge by se-nior Chris Royal

With the Mustangs ending the night scoring 8 touchdowns to 2 for

the Bulldogs those that were in attendance were left with a good feeling that come Friday night the Hughes Springs Mustangs will bring a style of football sure to make the Mustang Na-tion happy

The Mustangs will open the regular season Friday as they play host to the Clarksville Tigers at 730

On May 20 the world watched in horror as an EF5 tornado swept through Moore Okla More than 20 people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed leaving the community devastated and literally buried beneath tons of de-bris

Meanwhile the North-east Texas Community College Welderrsquos Associ-ation began to formulate an idea of how they could reach out to help the peo-ple of Moore Within two weeks the group had for-mulated a plan of action and 12 people headed north to lend a hand

ldquoThe entire group felt strongly about doing something to help Rath-er than just sending sup-plies we decided it would be better to actually go up there and assist with the cleanuprdquo Marcos Sanchez NTCC welding instructor and Welderrsquos Association advisor said ldquoWe were able to use mon-ey we had raised the pre-vious school year to cover expenses and folks from the college pitched in by donating trash bags and other suppliesrdquo

The group met at 330 am on a Saturday in ear-ly June and loaded into two trucks to make the 250+ mile trek to Moore They arrived around 930 am and checked in with Serve Moore a faith-based relief organization The welders were sent to assist with cleaning up a park area near the remains of a residential neighborhood

ldquoTo see the devastation on television is one thing To actually see it up close in person is completely differentrdquo Mr Sanchez said ldquoThe entire park was covered in items from peoplersquos homes and trees were scattered around so that they looked like noo-dles in a pan Nobody re-ally knew where to begin and it was difficult to or-ganize the processrdquo

The NTCC group dug in and soon figured out it was easier to separate the trash into piles based on materials Other volun-teers began to follow their lead and by the end of the day their work began to reveal the park beneath the rubble

ldquoIt was really something to experience There were tons of people from all over the country pitching

in to help ndash we were all strangers but we were accomplishing something together By the end of the day we had piles of metal that were taller than buildingsrdquo Mr San-chez said ldquoThe worksite was more than a quar-ter mile from the nearest house but we picked up dolls and all sorts of per-sonal items It was hard to imagine a storm doing that much damagerdquo

The Welderrsquos Associa-tion group spent the night in the area and continued to work on Sunday

ldquoWe spent a full day-and-a-half working in that park Before we left we all went up on this hill and looked down to get a broader view of the whole area As hard as we had worked we really hadnrsquot made a dent in the big picture We knew then that we had to go back a second timerdquo Kenneth Barker of Mount Pleas-ant vice president of the NTCC Welderrsquos Associa-tion said

In order to raise money the students held a car wash in Daingerfield and received a few private do-nations The employees of Priefert Manufacturing also gave $500 to help cov-er expenses ndash which was part of more than $10000 that the company raised to benefit relief in Moore It was early August before six members of the group were able to make the next trip

According to Mr San-chez the landscape had changed drastically in the two and half months that had passed since they were there the first time

ldquoIt was unbelievable how much different things looked in August because so much dem-olition had taken place The entire area that we had worked on before had been cleaned up and was basically a blank slaterdquo Mr Sanchez said

They checked in with Serve Moore again but got a different assignment this time They were sent to a residential neighbor-hood to remove trees and limbs from residential yards

ldquoThe people we helped were all very grateful They really appreciated anything we could do for them - from just clean-ing up small limbs to re-moving big trees They were just thrilled to have us thererdquo Ana Karen a welding student from Longview who went on

both trips saidFloyd Gates saw the

team working in a yard and offered to pay them to cut up a tree in his yard down the street They vol-unteered to do the work for free and got to know Mr Gates better through-out the day He recently commented about their work on the NTCC Weld-errsquos Association Facebook page

ldquoI just want to thank all of you once again for helping me with my tor-nado damaged trees As a retired Texas Firefight-er it made me proud that some kindhearted Texans showed up at my house here in Moore and helped me out in a time of need It was like an answer to my prayers Hope you had a safe trip home and God bless you allrdquo Mr Gates wrote

NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation members who went on the first work trip in-cluded Marcos Sanchez (advisor) Dustin Smith Ana Karen Kenneth Bark-er Mark Johnson Deon Williams Jerry Simpson Donny Donham Mark Lawson David Olivares Miguel E Alvarado and Jaime Zamarripa Mak-ing the second trip were Mr Sanchez Mr Barker Ms Karen Mr Donham

Jesus Bernabe and Tim Stevenson

Mr Sanchez founded the NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation in 2012 as a way to help engage welding stu-dents and get them more involved in campus life They soon began partic-ipating in activities and raising money for their student organization They have adopted a two-mile stretch of Highway 11 and they participated in the Texas Outhouse Races at the Mount Pleas-ant Everything Texas fes-tival Fundraising efforts have included a drawing for a trailer built by NTCC welding students and a benefit barbecue

ldquoWe want to thank the people who have given money and supplies to our organization Your gifts enable us to participate in service projects like our trips to Moore and they are very much appreciat-edrdquo Mr Sanchez said

Most of us say we would like to age gracefully But the concept seems pretty much out of our hands or in the hands of a plastic surgeon We say we arenrsquot going to take those drastic measures but then many of us end up doing so Why Be-cause we didnrsquot just take the simple natural mea-sures we could have tak-en daily while we were still young

Did you know that only one third of what con-trols how gracefully we will age is determined by genetics Itrsquos shocking I know Maybe your dadrsquos gray hairs that popped up at the age of 30 or your momrsquos arthritis doesnrsquot have to be a major pan-ic point for you after all One third is genetics That means there is an entire two thirds that are completely based on your own choices

Keep reading to find some of the healthiest ways to approach these choices and learn how to age gracefully

The pursuit of happi-ness shouldnrsquot end with career marriage and family Because sadly as you age these things may become less present in your life But happi-ness boosts the immune system and reduces stress When you are stressed your heart rate goes up your digestion slows and blood flow is even blocked to certain muscles If you expe-rience chronic stress these conditions could lead to actual physical disorders like obesity diabetes ulcers and even cancer

Keep active and in-volved Happiness is easier to cultivate than you think Believe that life still has enjoyable experiences to offer you Even if you just donrsquot see how you can be happy as you age force yourself to go to events to gath-erings to dinner with friends Yoursquoll usually be pleasantly surprised with what you find and positive attitude and op-timism are linked to lon-gevity If yoursquore not sure what makes you hap-py learn Take notes at times when you feel par-ticularly uplifted and those when you feel anx-iety-ridden Where are you Who are you with What are you doing Ad-just your daily activities accordingly

The brain loves new experiences and sensa-tions Have you ever real-

We can grow old gracefully

ly regretted trying some-thing new So long as it didnrsquot harm you what you probably felt most of the time was a rush It feels good to know you have the guts to put your-self in unfamiliar envi-ronments and try things you arenrsquot necessarily skilled at Sometimes you have to fumble in order to have a new enjoyable experience But what you remember more than get-ting it wrong is how ex-citing it was to try some-thing new

Contrary to what many people believe your brain has the ability to continue building neural connections throughout life So donrsquot be afraid of new phenomena that simply didnrsquot exist when you were younger Jump head first into social me-dia classes or trying a new food trend everyone is raving about Doing so will cultivate curiosity creativity and an open mind additional traits linked to longevity

We are always harder on ourselves than others Wersquoll spend hours cook-ing a healthy meal for a friend on the weekend meanwhile we take our-selves through fast-food drive-thrursquos during the week We tell our friends how gorgeous they are and make self-deprecat-ing comments about our-selves

It may be harder than ever to do so now that yoursquore aging but itrsquos also more important than ever to love yourself Tell yourself you are fabulous Make yourself fabulous by dressing up standing up straight and quitting those self-deprecating thoughts and comments Do the things that make you happy more often and remind yourself itrsquos because you deserve to Why Because your body becomes stressed when you have thoughts like

ldquoIrsquom not good enoughrdquo And we already know stress is bad for the body

Research shows that those who are more so-cially connected -- that doesnrsquot just mean going to activities and events but actually cultivating friendships from them -- live longer This is just another way to ward off depression

As we age and can no longer do the things we used to do we begin to feel ldquouselessrdquo But something you can always offer is a set of ears some good ad-vice and if anything the ability to make someone laugh Think about how much the friends who do that for you mean to you You mean just as much to them You may not be a doctor actress or en-trepreneur anymore But through all of those years of work you also became the unique entertaining and wise individual you are That is something you will always have to offer

Exercising regularly makes you less likely to develop diabetes heart disease dementia os-teoarthritis depression and obesity One study found that women who walk briskly for just 5 hours a week have a 76 higher chance of aging gracefully and healthful-ly with less physical and mental impairment Of course if you are aging you canrsquot exactly run an hour a day or rock climb like you used to (if you used to at all) Look into low impact workouts like walking resistance training tai chi and yoga

You canrsquot control every biological process that goes on in your body as you age but what you can always control is your outlook and the life-style choices you make It turns out thatrsquos more than half the battle

Ah the golden years A time for chess knitting and bingo plus the occa-sional 4 orsquoclock dinner followed by a letter to the grandkids Sound famil-iar Probably not because many of todayrsquos seniors are more likely to get mov-ing eat fresh veggies from their gardens and text the grandkids about the new pictures on their Face-book wall Part of being an active senior might in-clude activities like board games sewing and dining out with friends but hob-bies for the older genera-tion have long been cross-ing over into what all ages enjoy

Are you a senior If yoursquore in your mid-40s yoursquore considered a senior in some parts of the world but by most Western esti-mates ldquoold agerdquo falls with-in the 60- to 65-year range and older because thatrsquos the age set for many insur-ance benefits and pensions [source Encyclopaedia Britannica] According to the US Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) the number of people aged 65 or older will more than double by 2030 and ideas for improving the quality of life for those living longer means in-creasing activity [source CDC] Maybe a more im-portant question than ldquoAre you a seniorrdquo is ldquoAre you an active seniorrdquo

Whether looking to in-crease passive activity by exercising your mind or to increase physical activ-ity by exercising -- or both ndash todayrsquos seniors are rede-fining and even extending their later years

Todayrsquos seniors are increasingly more active

If yoursquore age 65 or older odds are you have a chron-ic condition

According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control amp Prevention about 80 per-cent of seniors in the US have at least one chronic condition The most com-mon chronic conditions among seniors are ldquosilent killersrdquomdashdiseases such as high blood pressure di-abetes and heart disease that often have no phys-ical symptoms Despite their silent nature these conditions may result in life-threatening complica-tions disability and sig-nificant costs if not prop-erly managed

ldquoA chronic condition like diabetes or heart dis-ease should not be tak-en lightlyrdquo said Rhonda Randall DO geriatrician and chief medical officer UnitedHealthcare Medi-care amp Retirement ldquoItrsquos important to get screened for these illnesses annual-ly even if you donrsquot have symptoms If you have a chronic condition ed-ucate yourself and take action to help reduce your risk of serious complica-tionsrdquo

More than 1 million people nationwide live in assisted-living fa-cilities according to government estimates Therersquos no common-ly accepted definition for these facilities but they all offer some level of assistance to people who donrsquot need full-time attention but who may need help with person-al care taking medica-tions or other concerns If you are considering an assisted-living ar-rangement for yourself or a loved one here is advice on issues to ad-dress

Consider Your Op-tions

Will your loved one be happier aging in this place Assisted living is a good choice for many people who can no lon-ger manage on their own but itrsquos not the only one It may be possible for example to arrange for home health care for someone whorsquos not comfortable with the idea of living in a facil-ity or who doesnrsquot want to move from their long-term residence Staying in their own home may be isolating however for someone who has lost some or all of their mobility Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to take into account many factorsmdashincluding financial physical mental and emotionalmdashbefore mak-ing a decision

Know What Yoursquore Getting

There are no nation-al regulations for as-sisted-living facilities which means that li-censing and standards may vary from state to state Even within one state there may be dif-ferent levels of licens-ing or regulation for various kinds of facili-ties When checking out the quality of a specific facility you will want to ensure that it meets all applicable standards To make that determi-nation you may want to understand which lo-cal or state regulations govern each facility you consider

Get Started EarlyItrsquos a good idea to be-

gin considering your op-tions well in advance so you donrsquot have to make

Five tips when considering an assisted-living

a hurried decision in the future Start out by visiting facilities When you arrive take note Does it seem like a pleasant place to live Is it not only clean and attractive but also easy to get around if mobil-ity is or could become a problem Do the res-idents seem happy and well cared for Are there organized activi-ties and events Do ap-propriate safety mea-sures protect residents in their kitchens bath-rooms and throughout the building These are some of the many questions you should ask You may also want to review the facilityrsquos contract with an elder care attorney and with your CPA to better un-derstand the legal and financial issues in-volved

Find Out About Fees

The national average monthly base cost for an assisted-living facility was $3477 according to a recent study Itrsquos obvi-ous that different facil-ities will have different base costs but be aware that each one may also add on a variety of ex-tra charges There may be added fees for say administering medi-cations housekeeping or certain activities Yoursquoll also want to find out whether a deposit is required and how much notice is needed when moving to a new facility or another level of care Ask too about how hospitalization costs are handled These are just a few of the finan-cial considerations to ask about before you sign a contract

Know Where to Turn for Help

The Older Americans Act requires each state to have an ombudsman program to resolve complaints about the long-term care system and advocate for en-hancements to it If you have a complaint about or problem with a fa-cility your state long-term care ombudsman may be able to help The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Re-source Center can pro-vide more information

The Tigers are looking to be ready for their up-coming season opener against Gladewater Fri-day after finishing up the preseason with a home scrimmage against Paris North Lamar friday

Head coach Aric Sardinia said he was happy with his teamrsquos performance in their final scrim-mage

ldquoIt was hot out there and it is hard to tell exact-ly where you are and where you will be in a real game situation We were able to see some things that we were wanting to see thoughrdquo he said ldquoI was impressed with our performance overall We did a good job in the quarter that we played Over-all I was pleased but we have to continue to take it one day at a timerdquo

The Tiger offense was able to find the end zone more than once in the 30-minute running-clock quarter against the Panthers Friday but Sardin-ia said it was his defense that caught his eye

ldquoI thought that our defense did a really good jobrdquo he said ldquoI am really impressed with our de-fense right now They are looking good and they are getting better every dayrdquo

North Lamar was held scoreless in the practice quarter

Sardina said that special teams were a area of focus in practice this week and will continue to be an area to work on in the early stages of the season

ldquoWe were able to get out there and kick the ball a little bit Irsquove seen our kicker go out and kick the ball a lot better but he did a good job of puntingrdquo Sardinia said ldquoWe got a look at our extra point and field goal team I am a little concerned about that part of our game right now They are not ex-actly where I want them to be but we will keep working on that part of the gamerdquo

The Tigers open the regular season Friday at Gladewater against the Bears a team that Sardi-na says should give his squad a good challenge

ldquoGladewater is going to be a running team that wants to contol the clock and the tempo They have a really good offensive line but I think we will be able to manage them he said ldquoThey have a running back and free safety that makes a lot of plays for them The also have a good defensive line They should be good up front on both sides of the ballrdquo

Fridayrsquos season opener is scheduled to begin at 730 pm

Troy Stuard and the Tigers were in action in the final scrimmage of the season at home against North Lamar Friday The team will open the regular season at Gladewater this week

Texas sets waterfowl seasons for 2013-14

For the first time in a half century Texas wa-terfowlers can take two canvasbacks daily un-der migratory game bird seasons approved for the 2013-14 by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission

The increase comes with news of healthy water-fowl populations with all species except pintail and scaup numbering above the long term goals iden-tified in the North Amer-ican Waterfowl Manage-ment Plan

ldquoOverall waterfowl are doing quite wellrdquo Kevin Kraai Waterfowl Program Leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department told com-

missioners ldquoWersquore near record levels and in some instances in the glory days for ducksrdquo

The commission also adopted a staggered split between the North and South Zones to allow for the opportunity of an ad-ditional week for those waterfowlers who travel between zones

In another change to the season framework that should be welcomed by hunters the possession limits for all migratory game birds is now three times the daily limit For ducks including teal during the early Sept 14-29 season the possession limit is 18

The Mustang foot-ball team took to the field Thursday evening against the Queen City Bulldogs in both teams final pre-season tilt be-fore the regular season begins on Aug 30

The Mustangs showed more fluidity and explo-siveness against a Bull-dog team that at times looked overmatched The Mustangs signature Slot-T offense was click-ing most of the night with junior Fred Hop-kins slashing and dart-ing through the Bulldog defense seemingly at will Hopkins seems to be in mid-season form and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball

The scrimmage al-ternated time between varsity and junior var-sity forces With sopho-more quarterback Blake Smith guiding the junior varsity unit the offense was quite efficient total-ing 5 touchdowns to one for the Queen City JV squad The backfield for the JV is comprised of Dazon Hatten Gabriel DuBose and Nate Banks With each showing good vision and an ability to break tackles and gain the tough yardage

The junior varsity de-fense in the scrimmage did not allow the Queen City Bulldogs much day-light on the afternoon

The Mustangs varsity offensive unit seemed to click a bit more than in their previous scrim-mage The Mustang

backfield found more daylight thanks to an offensive line that is comprised of seniors Christian Smith Cade Pittman along withAsa Gaul Thomas Wallace and senior Kyre Lewis

On the other side of the ball the Mustangs were plugging holes the whole contest with the Bulldogs only finding a couple holes that trans-

lated into finding the end-zone The defensive line and line-backing corps were aggressive and flew to the ball meet-ing the Bulldog players and stopping them in their tracks with con-sistency The secondary played assignment foot-ball as well and made it tough on the Bulldog receivers not allowing much through the air

The scrimmage was concluded with both varsity units participat-ing in a live quarter of action With a real game feel and clock in play the Mustangs finished the night with a drive highlighted with a short touchdown plunge by se-nior Chris Royal

With the Mustangs ending the night scoring 8 touchdowns to 2 for

On May 20 the world watched in horror as an EF5 tornado swept through Moore Okla More than 20 people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed leaving the community devastated and literally buried beneath tons of de-bris

Meanwhile the North-east Texas Community College Welderrsquos Associ-ation began to formulate an idea of how they could reach out to help the peo-ple of Moore Within two weeks the group had for-mulated a plan of action and 12 people headed north to lend a hand

ldquoThe entire group felt strongly about doing something to help Rath-er than just sending sup-plies we decided it would be better to actually go up there and assist with the cleanuprdquo Marcos Sanchez NTCC welding instructor and Welderrsquos Association advisor said ldquoWe were able to use mon-ey we had raised the pre-vious school year to cover expenses and folks from the college pitched in by donating trash bags and other suppliesrdquo

The group met at 330 am on a Saturday in ear-ly June and loaded into two trucks to make the 250+ mile trek to Moore They arrived around 930 am and checked in with Serve Moore a faith-based relief organization The welders were sent to assist with cleaning up a park area near the remains of a residential neighborhood

ldquoTo see the devastation on television is one thing To actually see it up close in person is completely differentrdquo Mr Sanchez said ldquoThe entire park was covered in items from peoplersquos homes and trees were scattered around so that they looked like noo-dles in a pan Nobody re-ally knew where to begin and it was difficult to or-ganize the processrdquo

The NTCC group dug in and soon figured out it was easier to separate the trash into piles based on materials Other volun-teers began to follow their lead and by the end of the day their work began to reveal the park beneath the rubble

ldquoIt was really something to experience There were tons of people from all over the country pitching

in to help ndash we were all strangers but we were accomplishing something together By the end of the day we had piles of metal that were taller than buildingsrdquo Mr San-chez said ldquoThe worksite was more than a quar-ter mile from the nearest house but we picked up dolls and all sorts of per-sonal items It was hard to imagine a storm doing that much damagerdquo

The Welderrsquos Associa-tion group spent the night in the area and continued to work on Sunday

ldquoWe spent a full day-and-a-half working in that park Before we left we all went up on this hill and looked down to get a broader view of the whole area As hard as we had worked we really hadnrsquot made a dent in the big picture We knew then that we had to go back a second timerdquo Kenneth Barker of Mount Pleas-ant vice president of the NTCC Welderrsquos Associa-tion said

In order to raise money the students held a car wash in Daingerfield and received a few private do-nations The employees of Priefert Manufacturing also gave $500 to help cov-er expenses ndash which was part of more than $10000 that the company raised to benefit relief in Moore It was early August before six members of the group were able to make the next trip

According to Mr San-chez the landscape had changed drastically in the two and half months that had passed since they were there the first time

ldquoIt was unbelievable how much different things looked in August because so much dem-olition had taken place The entire area that we had worked on before had been cleaned up and was basically a blank slaterdquo Mr Sanchez said

They checked in with Serve Moore again but got a different assignment this time They were sent to a residential neighbor-hood to remove trees and limbs from residential yards

ldquoThe people we helped were all very grateful They really appreciated anything we could do for them - from just clean-ing up small limbs to re-moving big trees They were just thrilled to have us thererdquo Ana Karen a welding student from Longview who went on

both trips saidFloyd Gates saw the

team working in a yard and offered to pay them to cut up a tree in his yard down the street They vol-unteered to do the work for free and got to know Mr Gates better through-out the day He recently commented about their work on the NTCC Weld-errsquos Association Facebook page

ldquoI just want to thank all of you once again for helping me with my tor-nado damaged trees As a retired Texas Firefight-er it made me proud that some kindhearted Texans showed up at my house here in Moore and helped me out in a time of need It was like an answer to my prayers Hope you had a safe trip home and God bless you allrdquo Mr Gates wrote

NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation members who went on the first work trip in-cluded Marcos Sanchez (advisor) Dustin Smith Ana Karen Kenneth Bark-er Mark Johnson Deon Williams Jerry Simpson Donny Donham Mark Lawson David Olivares Miguel E Alvarado and Jaime Zamarripa Mak-ing the second trip were Mr Sanchez Mr Barker Ms Karen Mr Donham

Jesus Bernabe and Tim Stevenson

Mr Sanchez founded the NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation in 2012 as a way to help engage welding stu-dents and get them more involved in campus life They soon began partic-ipating in activities and raising money for their student organization They have adopted a two-mile stretch of Highway 11 and they participated in the Texas Outhouse Races at the Mount Pleas-ant Everything Texas fes-tival Fundraising efforts have included a drawing for a trailer built by NTCC welding students and a benefit barbecue

ldquoWe want to thank the people who have given money and supplies to our organization Your gifts enable us to participate in service projects like our trips to Moore and they are very much appreciat-edrdquo Mr Sanchez said

Active SeniorsActive Seniors

Most of us say we would like to age gracefully But the concept seems pretty much out of our hands or in the hands of a plastic surgeon We say we arenrsquot going to take those drastic measures but then many of us end up doing so Why Be-cause we didnrsquot just take the simple natural mea-sures we could have tak-en daily while we were still young

Did you know that only one third of what con-trols how gracefully we will age is determined by genetics Itrsquos shocking I know Maybe your dadrsquos gray hairs that popped up at the age of 30 or your momrsquos arthritis doesnrsquot have to be a major pan-ic point for you after all One third is genetics That means there is an entire two thirds that are completely based on your own choices

Keep reading to find some of the healthiest ways to approach these choices and learn how to age gracefully

The pursuit of happi-ness shouldnrsquot end with career marriage and family Because sadly as you age these things may become less present in your life But happi-ness boosts the immune system and reduces stress When you are stressed your heart rate goes up your digestion slows and blood flow is even blocked to certain muscles If you expe-rience chronic stress these conditions could lead to actual physical disorders like obesity diabetes ulcers and even cancer

Keep active and in-volved Happiness is easier to cultivate than you think Believe that life still has enjoyable experiences to offer you Even if you just donrsquot see how you can be happy as you age force yourself to go to events to gath-erings to dinner with friends Yoursquoll usually be pleasantly surprised with what you find and positive attitude and op-timism are linked to lon-gevity If yoursquore not sure what makes you hap-py learn Take notes at times when you feel par-ticularly uplifted and those when you feel anx-iety-ridden Where are you Who are you with What are you doing Ad-just your daily activities accordingly

The brain loves new experiences and sensa-tions Have you ever real-

We can grow old gracefully

ly regretted trying some-thing new So long as it didnrsquot harm you what you probably felt most of the time was a rush It feels good to know you have the guts to put your-self in unfamiliar envi-ronments and try things you arenrsquot necessarily skilled at Sometimes you have to fumble in order to have a new enjoyable experience But what you remember more than get-ting it wrong is how ex-citing it was to try some-thing new

Contrary to what many people believe your brain has the ability to continue building neural connections throughout life So donrsquot be afraid of new phenomena that simply didnrsquot exist when you were younger Jump head first into social me-dia classes or trying a new food trend everyone is raving about Doing so will cultivate curiosity creativity and an open mind additional traits linked to longevity

We are always harder on ourselves than others Wersquoll spend hours cook-ing a healthy meal for a friend on the weekend meanwhile we take our-selves through fast-food drive-thrursquos during the week We tell our friends how gorgeous they are and make self-deprecat-ing comments about our-selves

It may be harder than ever to do so now that yoursquore aging but itrsquos also more important than ever to love yourself Tell yourself you are fabulous Make yourself fabulous by dressing up standing up straight and quitting those self-deprecating thoughts and comments Do the things that make you happy more often and remind yourself itrsquos because you deserve to Why Because your body becomes stressed when you have thoughts like

ldquoIrsquom not good enoughrdquo And we already know stress is bad for the body

Research shows that those who are more so-cially connected -- that doesnrsquot just mean going to activities and events but actually cultivating friendships from them -- live longer This is just another way to ward off depression

As we age and can no longer do the things we used to do we begin to feel ldquouselessrdquo But something you can always offer is a set of ears some good ad-vice and if anything the ability to make someone laugh Think about how much the friends who do that for you mean to you You mean just as much to them You may not be a doctor actress or en-trepreneur anymore But through all of those years of work you also became the unique entertaining and wise individual you are That is something you will always have to offer

Exercising regularly makes you less likely to develop diabetes heart disease dementia os-teoarthritis depression and obesity One study found that women who walk briskly for just 5 hours a week have a 76 higher chance of aging gracefully and healthful-ly with less physical and mental impairment Of course if you are aging you canrsquot exactly run an hour a day or rock climb like you used to (if you used to at all) Look into low impact workouts like walking resistance training tai chi and yoga

You canrsquot control every biological process that goes on in your body as you age but what you can always control is your outlook and the life-style choices you make It turns out thatrsquos more than half the battle

Ah the golden years A time for chess knitting and bingo plus the occa-sional 4 orsquoclock dinner followed by a letter to the grandkids Sound famil-iar Probably not because many of todayrsquos seniors are more likely to get mov-ing eat fresh veggies from their gardens and text the grandkids about the new pictures on their Face-book wall Part of being an active senior might in-clude activities like board games sewing and dining out with friends but hob-bies for the older genera-tion have long been cross-ing over into what all ages enjoy

Are you a senior If yoursquore in your mid-40s yoursquore considered a senior in some parts of the world but by most Western esti-mates ldquoold agerdquo falls with-in the 60- to 65-year range and older because thatrsquos the age set for many insur-ance benefits and pensions [source Encyclopaedia Britannica] According to the US Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) the number of people aged 65 or older will more than double by 2030 and ideas for improving the quality of life for those living longer means in-creasing activity [source CDC] Maybe a more im-portant question than ldquoAre you a seniorrdquo is ldquoAre you an active seniorrdquo

Whether looking to in-crease passive activity by exercising your mind or to increase physical activ-ity by exercising -- or both ndash todayrsquos seniors are rede-fining and even extending their later years

Todayrsquos seniors are increasingly more active

More than 1 million people nationwide live in assisted-living fa-cilities according to government estimates Therersquos no common-ly accepted definition for these facilities but they all offer some level of assistance to people who donrsquot need full-time attention but who may need help with person-al care taking medica-tions or other concerns If you are considering an assisted-living ar-rangement for yourself or a loved one here is advice on issues to ad-dress

Consider Your Op-tions

Will your loved one be happier aging in this place Assisted living is a good choice for many people who can no lon-ger manage on their own but itrsquos not the only one It may be possible for example to arrange for home health care for someone whorsquos not comfortable with the idea of living in a facil-ity or who doesnrsquot want to move from their long-term residence Staying in their own home may be isolating however for someone who has lost some or all of their mobility Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to take into account many factorsmdashincluding financial physical mental and emotionalmdashbefore mak-ing a decision

Know What Yoursquore Getting

There are no nation-al regulations for as-sisted-living facilities which means that li-censing and standards may vary from state to state Even within one state there may be dif-ferent levels of licens-ing or regulation for various kinds of facili-ties When checking out the quality of a specific facility you will want to ensure that it meets all applicable standards To make that determi-nation you may want to understand which lo-cal or state regulations govern each facility you consider

Get Started EarlyItrsquos a good idea to be-

gin considering your op-tions well in advance so you donrsquot have to make

Five tips when considering an assisted-living

a hurried decision in the future Start out by visiting facilities When you arrive take note Does it seem like a pleasant place to live Is it not only clean and attractive but also easy to get around if mobil-ity is or could become a problem Do the res-idents seem happy and well cared for Are there organized activi-ties and events Do ap-propriate safety mea-sures protect residents in their kitchens bath-rooms and throughout the building These are some of the many questions you should ask You may also want to review the facilityrsquos contract with an elder care attorney and with your CPA to better un-derstand the legal and financial issues in-volved

Find Out About Fees

The national average monthly base cost for an assisted-living facility was $3477 according to a recent study Itrsquos obvi-ous that different facil-ities will have different base costs but be aware that each one may also add on a variety of ex-tra charges There may be added fees for say administering medi-cations housekeeping or certain activities Yoursquoll also want to find out whether a deposit is required and how much notice is needed when moving to a new facility or another level of care Ask too about how hospitalization costs are handled These are just a few of the finan-cial considerations to ask about before you sign a contract

Know Where to Turn for Help

The Older Americans Act requires each state to have an ombudsman program to resolve complaints about the long-term care system and advocate for en-hancements to it If you have a complaint about or problem with a fa-cility your state long-term care ombudsman may be able to help The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Re-source Center can pro-vide more information

The Mustang foot-ball team took to the field Thursday evening against the Queen City Bulldogs in both teams final pre-season tilt be-fore the regular season begins on Aug 30

The Mustangs showed more fluidity and explo-siveness against a Bull-dog team that at times looked overmatched The Mustangs signature Slot-T offense was click-ing most of the night with junior Fred Hop-kins slashing and dart-ing through the Bulldog defense seemingly at will Hopkins seems to be in mid-season form and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball

The scrimmage al-ternated time between varsity and junior var-sity forces With sopho-more quarterback Blake Smith guiding the junior varsity unit the offense was quite efficient total-ing 5 touchdowns to one for the Queen City JV squad The backfield for the JV is comprised of Dazon Hatten Gabriel DuBose and Nate Banks With each showing good vision and an ability to break tackles and gain the tough yardage

The junior varsity de-fense in the scrimmage did not allow the Queen City Bulldogs much day-light on the afternoon

The Mustangs varsity offensive unit seemed to click a bit more than in their previous scrim-mage The Mustang

backfield found more daylight thanks to an offensive line that is comprised of seniors Christian Smith Cade Pittman along withAsa Gaul Thomas Wallace and senior Kyre Lewis

On the other side of the ball the Mustangs were plugging holes the whole contest with the Bulldogs only finding a couple holes that trans-

lated into finding the end-zone The defensive line and line-backing corps were aggressive and flew to the ball meet-ing the Bulldog players and stopping them in their tracks with con-sistency The secondary played assignment foot-ball as well and made it tough on the Bulldog receivers not allowing much through the air

The scrimmage was concluded with both varsity units participat-ing in a live quarter of action With a real game feel and clock in play the Mustangs finished the night with a drive highlighted with a short touchdown plunge by se-nior Chris Royal

With the Mustangs ending the night scoring 8 touchdowns to 2 for

the Bulldogs those that were in attendance were left with a good feeling that come Friday night the Hughes Springs Mustangs will bring a style of football sure to make the Mustang Na-tion happy

The Mustangs will open the regular season Friday as they play host to the Clarksville Tigers at 730

On May 20 the world watched in horror as an EF5 tornado swept through Moore Okla More than 20 people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed leaving the community devastated and literally buried beneath tons of de-bris

Meanwhile the North-east Texas Community College Welderrsquos Associ-ation began to formulate an idea of how they could reach out to help the peo-ple of Moore Within two weeks the group had for-mulated a plan of action and 12 people headed north to lend a hand

ldquoThe entire group felt strongly about doing something to help Rath-er than just sending sup-plies we decided it would be better to actually go up there and assist with the cleanuprdquo Marcos Sanchez NTCC welding instructor and Welderrsquos Association advisor said ldquoWe were able to use mon-ey we had raised the pre-vious school year to cover expenses and folks from the college pitched in by donating trash bags and other suppliesrdquo

The group met at 330 am on a Saturday in ear-ly June and loaded into two trucks to make the 250+ mile trek to Moore They arrived around 930 am and checked in with Serve Moore a faith-based relief organization The welders were sent to assist with cleaning up a park area near the remains of a residential neighborhood

ldquoTo see the devastation on television is one thing To actually see it up close in person is completely differentrdquo Mr Sanchez said ldquoThe entire park was covered in items from peoplersquos homes and trees were scattered around so that they looked like noo-dles in a pan Nobody re-ally knew where to begin and it was difficult to or-ganize the processrdquo

The NTCC group dug in and soon figured out it was easier to separate the trash into piles based on materials Other volun-teers began to follow their lead and by the end of the day their work began to reveal the park beneath the rubble

ldquoIt was really something to experience There were tons of people from all over the country pitching

in to help ndash we were all strangers but we were accomplishing something together By the end of the day we had piles of metal that were taller than buildingsrdquo Mr San-chez said ldquoThe worksite was more than a quar-ter mile from the nearest house but we picked up dolls and all sorts of per-sonal items It was hard to imagine a storm doing that much damagerdquo

The Welderrsquos Associa-tion group spent the night in the area and continued to work on Sunday

ldquoWe spent a full day-and-a-half working in that park Before we left we all went up on this hill and looked down to get a broader view of the whole area As hard as we had worked we really hadnrsquot made a dent in the big picture We knew then that we had to go back a second timerdquo Kenneth Barker of Mount Pleas-ant vice president of the NTCC Welderrsquos Associa-tion said

In order to raise money the students held a car wash in Daingerfield and received a few private do-nations The employees of Priefert Manufacturing also gave $500 to help cov-er expenses ndash which was part of more than $10000 that the company raised to benefit relief in Moore It was early August before six members of the group were able to make the next trip

According to Mr San-chez the landscape had changed drastically in the two and half months that had passed since they were there the first time

ldquoIt was unbelievable how much different things looked in August because so much dem-olition had taken place The entire area that we had worked on before had been cleaned up and was basically a blank slaterdquo Mr Sanchez said

They checked in with Serve Moore again but got a different assignment this time They were sent to a residential neighbor-hood to remove trees and limbs from residential yards

ldquoThe people we helped were all very grateful They really appreciated anything we could do for them - from just clean-ing up small limbs to re-moving big trees They were just thrilled to have us thererdquo Ana Karen a welding student from Longview who went on

both trips saidFloyd Gates saw the

team working in a yard and offered to pay them to cut up a tree in his yard down the street They vol-unteered to do the work for free and got to know Mr Gates better through-out the day He recently commented about their work on the NTCC Weld-errsquos Association Facebook page

ldquoI just want to thank all of you once again for helping me with my tor-nado damaged trees As a retired Texas Firefight-er it made me proud that some kindhearted Texans showed up at my house here in Moore and helped me out in a time of need It was like an answer to my prayers Hope you had a safe trip home and God bless you allrdquo Mr Gates wrote

NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation members who went on the first work trip in-cluded Marcos Sanchez (advisor) Dustin Smith Ana Karen Kenneth Bark-er Mark Johnson Deon Williams Jerry Simpson Donny Donham Mark Lawson David Olivares Miguel E Alvarado and Jaime Zamarripa Mak-ing the second trip were Mr Sanchez Mr Barker Ms Karen Mr Donham

Jesus Bernabe and Tim Stevenson

Mr Sanchez founded the NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation in 2012 as a way to help engage welding stu-dents and get them more involved in campus life They soon began partic-ipating in activities and raising money for their student organization They have adopted a two-mile stretch of Highway 11 and they participated in the Texas Outhouse Races at the Mount Pleas-ant Everything Texas fes-tival Fundraising efforts have included a drawing for a trailer built by NTCC welding students and a benefit barbecue

ldquoWe want to thank the people who have given money and supplies to our organization Your gifts enable us to participate in service projects like our trips to Moore and they are very much appreciat-edrdquo Mr Sanchez said

Active SeniorsActive Seniors

Most of us say we would like to age gracefully But the concept seems pretty much out of our hands or in the hands of a plastic surgeon We say we arenrsquot going to take those drastic measures but then many of us end up doing so Why Be-cause we didnrsquot just take the simple natural mea-sures we could have tak-en daily while we were still young

Did you know that only one third of what con-trols how gracefully we will age is determined by genetics Itrsquos shocking I know Maybe your dadrsquos gray hairs that popped up at the age of 30 or your momrsquos arthritis doesnrsquot have to be a major pan-ic point for you after all One third is genetics That means there is an entire two thirds that are completely based on your own choices

Keep reading to find some of the healthiest ways to approach these choices and learn how to age gracefully

The pursuit of happi-ness shouldnrsquot end with career marriage and family Because sadly as you age these things may become less present in your life But happi-ness boosts the immune system and reduces stress When you are stressed your heart rate goes up your digestion slows and blood flow is even blocked to certain muscles If you expe-rience chronic stress these conditions could lead to actual physical disorders like obesity diabetes ulcers and even cancer

Keep active and in-volved Happiness is easier to cultivate than you think Believe that life still has enjoyable experiences to offer you Even if you just donrsquot see how you can be happy as you age force yourself to go to events to gath-erings to dinner with friends Yoursquoll usually be pleasantly surprised with what you find and positive attitude and op-timism are linked to lon-gevity If yoursquore not sure what makes you hap-py learn Take notes at times when you feel par-ticularly uplifted and those when you feel anx-iety-ridden Where are you Who are you with What are you doing Ad-just your daily activities accordingly

The brain loves new experiences and sensa-tions Have you ever real-

We can grow old gracefully

ly regretted trying some-thing new So long as it didnrsquot harm you what you probably felt most of the time was a rush It feels good to know you have the guts to put your-self in unfamiliar envi-ronments and try things you arenrsquot necessarily skilled at Sometimes you have to fumble in order to have a new enjoyable experience But what you remember more than get-ting it wrong is how ex-citing it was to try some-thing new

Contrary to what many people believe your brain has the ability to continue building neural connections throughout life So donrsquot be afraid of new phenomena that simply didnrsquot exist when you were younger Jump head first into social me-dia classes or trying a new food trend everyone is raving about Doing so will cultivate curiosity creativity and an open mind additional traits linked to longevity

We are always harder on ourselves than others Wersquoll spend hours cook-ing a healthy meal for a friend on the weekend meanwhile we take our-selves through fast-food drive-thrursquos during the week We tell our friends how gorgeous they are and make self-deprecat-ing comments about our-selves

It may be harder than ever to do so now that yoursquore aging but itrsquos also more important than ever to love yourself Tell yourself you are fabulous Make yourself fabulous by dressing up standing up straight and quitting those self-deprecating thoughts and comments Do the things that make you happy more often and remind yourself itrsquos because you deserve to Why Because your body becomes stressed when you have thoughts like

ldquoIrsquom not good enoughrdquo And we already know stress is bad for the body

Research shows that those who are more so-cially connected -- that doesnrsquot just mean going to activities and events but actually cultivating friendships from them -- live longer This is just another way to ward off depression

As we age and can no longer do the things we used to do we begin to feel ldquouselessrdquo But something you can always offer is a set of ears some good ad-vice and if anything the ability to make someone laugh Think about how much the friends who do that for you mean to you You mean just as much to them You may not be a doctor actress or en-trepreneur anymore But through all of those years of work you also became the unique entertaining and wise individual you are That is something you will always have to offer

Exercising regularly makes you less likely to develop diabetes heart disease dementia os-teoarthritis depression and obesity One study found that women who walk briskly for just 5 hours a week have a 76 higher chance of aging gracefully and healthful-ly with less physical and mental impairment Of course if you are aging you canrsquot exactly run an hour a day or rock climb like you used to (if you used to at all) Look into low impact workouts like walking resistance training tai chi and yoga

You canrsquot control every biological process that goes on in your body as you age but what you can always control is your outlook and the life-style choices you make It turns out thatrsquos more than half the battle

Ah the golden years A time for chess knitting and bingo plus the occa-sional 4 orsquoclock dinner followed by a letter to the grandkids Sound famil-iar Probably not because many of todayrsquos seniors are more likely to get mov-ing eat fresh veggies from their gardens and text the grandkids about the new pictures on their Face-book wall Part of being an active senior might in-clude activities like board games sewing and dining out with friends but hob-bies for the older genera-tion have long been cross-ing over into what all ages enjoy

Are you a senior If yoursquore in your mid-40s yoursquore considered a senior in some parts of the world but by most Western esti-mates ldquoold agerdquo falls with-in the 60- to 65-year range and older because thatrsquos the age set for many insur-ance benefits and pensions [source Encyclopaedia Britannica] According to the US Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) the number of people aged 65 or older will more than double by 2030 and ideas for improving the quality of life for those living longer means in-creasing activity [source CDC] Maybe a more im-portant question than ldquoAre you a seniorrdquo is ldquoAre you an active seniorrdquo

Whether looking to in-crease passive activity by exercising your mind or to increase physical activ-ity by exercising -- or both ndash todayrsquos seniors are rede-fining and even extending their later years

Todayrsquos seniors are increasingly more active

ldquoA chronic condition like diabetes or heart dis-ease should not be tak-en lightlyrdquo said Rhonda Randall DO geriatrician and chief medical officer UnitedHealthcare Medi-care amp Retirement ldquoItrsquos important to get screened for these illnesses annual-ly even if you donrsquot have symptoms If you have a chronic condition ed-ucate yourself and take action to help reduce your risk of serious complica-tionsrdquo

More than 1 million people nationwide live in assisted-living fa-cilities according to government estimates Therersquos no common-ly accepted definition for these facilities but they all offer some level of assistance to people who donrsquot need full-time attention but who may need help with person-al care taking medica-tions or other concerns If you are considering an assisted-living ar-rangement for yourself or a loved one here is advice on issues to ad-dress

Consider Your Op-tions

Will your loved one be happier aging in this place Assisted living is a good choice for many people who can no lon-ger manage on their own but itrsquos not the only one It may be possible for example to arrange for home health care for someone whorsquos not comfortable with the idea of living in a facil-ity or who doesnrsquot want to move from their long-term residence Staying in their own home may be isolating however for someone who has lost some or all of their mobility Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to take into account many factorsmdashincluding financial physical mental and emotionalmdashbefore mak-ing a decision

Know What Yoursquore Getting

There are no nation-al regulations for as-sisted-living facilities which means that li-censing and standards may vary from state to state Even within one state there may be dif-ferent levels of licens-ing or regulation for various kinds of facili-ties When checking out the quality of a specific facility you will want to ensure that it meets all applicable standards To make that determi-nation you may want to understand which lo-cal or state regulations govern each facility you consider

Get Started EarlyItrsquos a good idea to be-

gin considering your op-tions well in advance so you donrsquot have to make

Five tips when considering an assisted-living

a hurried decision in the future Start out by visiting facilities When you arrive take note Does it seem like a pleasant place to live Is it not only clean and attractive but also easy to get around if mobil-ity is or could become a problem Do the res-idents seem happy and well cared for Are there organized activi-ties and events Do ap-propriate safety mea-sures protect residents in their kitchens bath-rooms and throughout the building These are some of the many questions you should ask You may also want to review the facilityrsquos contract with an elder care attorney and with your CPA to better un-derstand the legal and financial issues in-volved

Find Out About Fees

The national average monthly base cost for an assisted-living facility was $3477 according to a recent study Itrsquos obvi-ous that different facil-ities will have different base costs but be aware that each one may also add on a variety of ex-tra charges There may be added fees for say administering medi-cations housekeeping or certain activities Yoursquoll also want to find out whether a deposit is required and how much notice is needed when moving to a new facility or another level of care Ask too about how hospitalization costs are handled These are just a few of the finan-cial considerations to ask about before you sign a contract

Know Where to Turn for Help

The Older Americans Act requires each state to have an ombudsman program to resolve complaints about the long-term care system and advocate for en-hancements to it If you have a complaint about or problem with a fa-cility your state long-term care ombudsman may be able to help The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Re-source Center can pro-vide more information

On May 20 the world watched in horror as an EF5 tornado swept through Moore Okla More than 20 people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed leaving the community devastated and literally buried beneath tons of de-bris

Meanwhile the North-east Texas Community College Welderrsquos Associ-ation began to formulate an idea of how they could reach out to help the peo-ple of Moore Within two weeks the group had for-mulated a plan of action and 12 people headed north to lend a hand

ldquoThe entire group felt strongly about doing something to help Rath-er than just sending sup-plies we decided it would be better to actually go up there and assist with the cleanuprdquo Marcos Sanchez NTCC welding instructor and Welderrsquos Association advisor said ldquoWe were able to use mon-ey we had raised the pre-vious school year to cover expenses and folks from the college pitched in by donating trash bags and other suppliesrdquo

The group met at 330 am on a Saturday in ear-ly June and loaded into two trucks to make the 250+ mile trek to Moore They arrived around 930 am and checked in with Serve Moore a faith-based relief organization The welders were sent to assist with cleaning up a park area near the remains of a residential neighborhood

ldquoTo see the devastation on television is one thing To actually see it up close in person is completely differentrdquo Mr Sanchez said ldquoThe entire park was covered in items from peoplersquos homes and trees were scattered around so that they looked like noo-dles in a pan Nobody re-ally knew where to begin and it was difficult to or-ganize the processrdquo

The NTCC group dug in and soon figured out it was easier to separate the trash into piles based on materials Other volun-teers began to follow their lead and by the end of the day their work began to reveal the park beneath the rubble

ldquoIt was really something to experience There were tons of people from all over the country pitching

in to help ndash we were all strangers but we were accomplishing something together By the end of the day we had piles of metal that were taller than buildingsrdquo Mr San-chez said ldquoThe worksite was more than a quar-ter mile from the nearest house but we picked up dolls and all sorts of per-sonal items It was hard to imagine a storm doing that much damagerdquo

The Welderrsquos Associa-tion group spent the night in the area and continued to work on Sunday

ldquoWe spent a full day-and-a-half working in that park Before we left we all went up on this hill and looked down to get a broader view of the whole area As hard as we had worked we really hadnrsquot made a dent in the big picture We knew then that we had to go back a second timerdquo Kenneth Barker of Mount Pleas-ant vice president of the NTCC Welderrsquos Associa-tion said

In order to raise money the students held a car wash in Daingerfield and received a few private do-nations The employees of Priefert Manufacturing also gave $500 to help cov-er expenses ndash which was part of more than $10000 that the company raised to benefit relief in Moore It was early August before six members of the group were able to make the next trip

According to Mr San-chez the landscape had changed drastically in the two and half months that had passed since they were there the first time

ldquoIt was unbelievable how much different things looked in August because so much dem-olition had taken place The entire area that we had worked on before had been cleaned up and was basically a blank slaterdquo Mr Sanchez said

They checked in with Serve Moore again but got a different assignment this time They were sent to a residential neighbor-hood to remove trees and limbs from residential yards

ldquoThe people we helped were all very grateful They really appreciated anything we could do for them - from just clean-ing up small limbs to re-moving big trees They were just thrilled to have us thererdquo Ana Karen a welding student from Longview who went on

both trips saidFloyd Gates saw the

team working in a yard and offered to pay them to cut up a tree in his yard down the street They vol-unteered to do the work for free and got to know Mr Gates better through-out the day He recently commented about their work on the NTCC Weld-errsquos Association Facebook page

ldquoI just want to thank all of you once again for helping me with my tor-nado damaged trees As a retired Texas Firefight-er it made me proud that some kindhearted Texans showed up at my house here in Moore and helped me out in a time of need It was like an answer to my prayers Hope you had a safe trip home and God bless you allrdquo Mr Gates wrote

NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation members who went on the first work trip in-cluded Marcos Sanchez (advisor) Dustin Smith Ana Karen Kenneth Bark-er Mark Johnson Deon Williams Jerry Simpson Donny Donham Mark Lawson David Olivares Miguel E Alvarado and Jaime Zamarripa Mak-ing the second trip were Mr Sanchez Mr Barker Ms Karen Mr Donham

Jesus Bernabe and Tim Stevenson

Mr Sanchez founded the NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation in 2012 as a way to help engage welding stu-dents and get them more involved in campus life They soon began partic-ipating in activities and raising money for their student organization They have adopted a two-mile stretch of Highway 11 and they participated in the Texas Outhouse Races at the Mount Pleas-ant Everything Texas fes-tival Fundraising efforts have included a drawing for a trailer built by NTCC welding students and a benefit barbecue

ldquoWe want to thank the people who have given money and supplies to our organization Your gifts enable us to participate in service projects like our trips to Moore and they are very much appreciat-edrdquo Mr Sanchez said

Active SeniorsActive Seniors

Most of us say we would like to age gracefully But the concept seems pretty much out of our hands or in the hands of a plastic surgeon We say we arenrsquot going to take those drastic measures but then many of us end up doing so Why Be-cause we didnrsquot just take the simple natural mea-sures we could have tak-en daily while we were still young

Did you know that only one third of what con-trols how gracefully we will age is determined by genetics Itrsquos shocking I know Maybe your dadrsquos gray hairs that popped up at the age of 30 or your momrsquos arthritis doesnrsquot have to be a major pan-ic point for you after all One third is genetics That means there is an entire two thirds that are completely based on your own choices

Keep reading to find some of the healthiest ways to approach these choices and learn how to age gracefully

The pursuit of happi-ness shouldnrsquot end with career marriage and family Because sadly as you age these things may become less present in your life But happi-ness boosts the immune system and reduces stress When you are stressed your heart rate goes up your digestion slows and blood flow is even blocked to certain muscles If you expe-rience chronic stress these conditions could lead to actual physical disorders like obesity diabetes ulcers and even cancer

Keep active and in-volved Happiness is easier to cultivate than you think Believe that life still has enjoyable experiences to offer you Even if you just donrsquot see how you can be happy as you age force yourself to go to events to gath-erings to dinner with friends Yoursquoll usually be pleasantly surprised with what you find and positive attitude and op-timism are linked to lon-gevity If yoursquore not sure what makes you hap-py learn Take notes at times when you feel par-ticularly uplifted and those when you feel anx-iety-ridden Where are you Who are you with What are you doing Ad-just your daily activities accordingly

The brain loves new experiences and sensa-tions Have you ever real-

We can grow old gracefully

ly regretted trying some-thing new So long as it didnrsquot harm you what you probably felt most of the time was a rush It feels good to know you have the guts to put your-self in unfamiliar envi-ronments and try things you arenrsquot necessarily skilled at Sometimes you have to fumble in order to have a new enjoyable experience But what you remember more than get-ting it wrong is how ex-citing it was to try some-thing new

Contrary to what many people believe your brain has the ability to continue building neural connections throughout life So donrsquot be afraid of new phenomena that simply didnrsquot exist when you were younger Jump head first into social me-dia classes or trying a new food trend everyone is raving about Doing so will cultivate curiosity creativity and an open mind additional traits linked to longevity

We are always harder on ourselves than others Wersquoll spend hours cook-ing a healthy meal for a friend on the weekend meanwhile we take our-selves through fast-food drive-thrursquos during the week We tell our friends how gorgeous they are and make self-deprecat-ing comments about our-selves

It may be harder than ever to do so now that yoursquore aging but itrsquos also more important than ever to love yourself Tell yourself you are fabulous Make yourself fabulous by dressing up standing up straight and quitting those self-deprecating thoughts and comments Do the things that make you happy more often and remind yourself itrsquos because you deserve to Why Because your body becomes stressed when you have thoughts like

ldquoIrsquom not good enoughrdquo And we already know stress is bad for the body

Research shows that those who are more so-cially connected -- that doesnrsquot just mean going to activities and events but actually cultivating friendships from them -- live longer This is just another way to ward off depression

As we age and can no longer do the things we used to do we begin to feel ldquouselessrdquo But something you can always offer is a set of ears some good ad-vice and if anything the ability to make someone laugh Think about how much the friends who do that for you mean to you You mean just as much to them You may not be a doctor actress or en-trepreneur anymore But through all of those years of work you also became the unique entertaining and wise individual you are That is something you will always have to offer

Exercising regularly makes you less likely to develop diabetes heart disease dementia os-teoarthritis depression and obesity One study found that women who walk briskly for just 5 hours a week have a 76 higher chance of aging gracefully and healthful-ly with less physical and mental impairment Of course if you are aging you canrsquot exactly run an hour a day or rock climb like you used to (if you used to at all) Look into low impact workouts like walking resistance training tai chi and yoga

You canrsquot control every biological process that goes on in your body as you age but what you can always control is your outlook and the life-style choices you make It turns out thatrsquos more than half the battle

Ah the golden years A time for chess knitting and bingo plus the occa-sional 4 orsquoclock dinner followed by a letter to the grandkids Sound famil-iar Probably not because many of todayrsquos seniors are more likely to get mov-ing eat fresh veggies from their gardens and text the grandkids about the new pictures on their Face-book wall Part of being an active senior might in-clude activities like board games sewing and dining out with friends but hob-bies for the older genera-tion have long been cross-ing over into what all ages enjoy

Are you a senior If yoursquore in your mid-40s yoursquore considered a senior in some parts of the world but by most Western esti-mates ldquoold agerdquo falls with-in the 60- to 65-year range and older because thatrsquos the age set for many insur-ance benefits and pensions [source Encyclopaedia Britannica] According to the US Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) the number of people aged 65 or older will more than double by 2030 and ideas for improving the quality of life for those living longer means in-creasing activity [source CDC] Maybe a more im-portant question than ldquoAre you a seniorrdquo is ldquoAre you an active seniorrdquo

Whether looking to in-crease passive activity by exercising your mind or to increase physical activ-ity by exercising -- or both ndash todayrsquos seniors are rede-fining and even extending their later years

Todayrsquos seniors are increasingly more active

According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control amp Prevention about 80 per-cent of seniors in the US have at least one chronic condition The most com-mon chronic conditions among seniors are ldquosilent killersrdquomdashdiseases such as high blood pressure di-abetes and heart disease that often have no phys-ical symptoms Despite their silent nature these conditions may result in life-threatening complica-tions disability and sig-nificant costs if not prop-erly managed

ldquoA chronic condition like diabetes or heart dis-ease should not be tak-en lightlyrdquo said Rhonda Randall DO geriatrician and chief medical officer UnitedHealthcare Medi-care amp Retirement ldquoItrsquos important to get screened for these illnesses annual-ly even if you donrsquot have symptoms If you have a chronic condition ed-ucate yourself and take action to help reduce your risk of serious complica-tionsrdquo

More than 1 million people nationwide live in assisted-living fa-cilities according to government estimates Therersquos no common-ly accepted definition for these facilities but they all offer some level of assistance to people who donrsquot need full-time attention but who may need help with person-al care taking medica-tions or other concerns If you are considering an assisted-living ar-rangement for yourself or a loved one here is advice on issues to ad-dress

Consider Your Op-tions

Will your loved one be happier aging in this place Assisted living is a good choice for many people who can no lon-ger manage on their own but itrsquos not the only one It may be possible for example to arrange for home health care for someone whorsquos not comfortable with the idea of living in a facil-ity or who doesnrsquot want to move from their long-term residence Staying in their own home may be isolating however for someone who has lost some or all of their mobility Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to take into account many factorsmdashincluding financial physical mental and emotionalmdashbefore mak-ing a decision

Know What Yoursquore Getting

There are no nation-al regulations for as-sisted-living facilities which means that li-censing and standards may vary from state to state Even within one state there may be dif-ferent levels of licens-ing or regulation for various kinds of facili-ties When checking out the quality of a specific facility you will want to ensure that it meets all applicable standards To make that determi-nation you may want to understand which lo-cal or state regulations govern each facility you consider

Get Started EarlyItrsquos a good idea to be-

gin considering your op-tions well in advance so you donrsquot have to make

Five tips when considering an assisted-living

a hurried decision in the future Start out by visiting facilities When you arrive take note Does it seem like a pleasant place to live Is it not only clean and attractive but also easy to get around if mobil-ity is or could become a problem Do the res-idents seem happy and well cared for Are there organized activi-ties and events Do ap-propriate safety mea-sures protect residents in their kitchens bath-rooms and throughout the building These are some of the many questions you should ask You may also want to review the facilityrsquos contract with an elder care attorney and with your CPA to better un-derstand the legal and financial issues in-volved

Find Out About Fees

The national average monthly base cost for an assisted-living facility was $3477 according to a recent study Itrsquos obvi-ous that different facil-ities will have different base costs but be aware that each one may also add on a variety of ex-tra charges There may be added fees for say administering medi-cations housekeeping or certain activities Yoursquoll also want to find out whether a deposit is required and how much notice is needed when moving to a new facility or another level of care Ask too about how hospitalization costs are handled These are just a few of the finan-cial considerations to ask about before you sign a contract

Know Where to Turn for Help

The Older Americans Act requires each state to have an ombudsman program to resolve complaints about the long-term care system and advocate for en-hancements to it If you have a complaint about or problem with a fa-cility your state long-term care ombudsman may be able to help The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Re-source Center can pro-vide more information

On May 20 the world watched in horror as an EF5 tornado swept through Moore Okla More than 20 people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed leaving the community devastated and literally buried beneath tons of de-bris

Meanwhile the North-east Texas Community College Welderrsquos Associ-ation began to formulate an idea of how they could reach out to help the peo-ple of Moore Within two weeks the group had for-mulated a plan of action and 12 people headed north to lend a hand

ldquoThe entire group felt strongly about doing something to help Rath-er than just sending sup-plies we decided it would be better to actually go up there and assist with the cleanuprdquo Marcos Sanchez NTCC welding instructor and Welderrsquos Association advisor said ldquoWe were able to use mon-ey we had raised the pre-vious school year to cover expenses and folks from the college pitched in by donating trash bags and other suppliesrdquo

The group met at 330 am on a Saturday in ear-ly June and loaded into two trucks to make the 250+ mile trek to Moore They arrived around 930 am and checked in with Serve Moore a faith-based relief organization The welders were sent to assist with cleaning up a park area near the remains of a residential neighborhood

ldquoTo see the devastation on television is one thing To actually see it up close in person is completely differentrdquo Mr Sanchez said ldquoThe entire park was covered in items from peoplersquos homes and trees were scattered around so that they looked like noo-dles in a pan Nobody re-ally knew where to begin and it was difficult to or-ganize the processrdquo

The NTCC group dug in and soon figured out it was easier to separate the trash into piles based on materials Other volun-teers began to follow their lead and by the end of the day their work began to reveal the park beneath the rubble

ldquoIt was really something to experience There were tons of people from all over the country pitching

in to help ndash we were all strangers but we were accomplishing something together By the end of the day we had piles of metal that were taller than buildingsrdquo Mr San-chez said ldquoThe worksite was more than a quar-ter mile from the nearest house but we picked up dolls and all sorts of per-sonal items It was hard to imagine a storm doing that much damagerdquo

The Welderrsquos Associa-tion group spent the night in the area and continued to work on Sunday

ldquoWe spent a full day-and-a-half working in that park Before we left we all went up on this hill and looked down to get a broader view of the whole area As hard as we had worked we really hadnrsquot made a dent in the big picture We knew then that we had to go back a second timerdquo Kenneth Barker of Mount Pleas-ant vice president of the NTCC Welderrsquos Associa-tion said

In order to raise money the students held a car wash in Daingerfield and received a few private do-nations The employees of Priefert Manufacturing also gave $500 to help cov-er expenses ndash which was part of more than $10000 that the company raised to benefit relief in Moore It was early August before six members of the group were able to make the next trip

According to Mr San-chez the landscape had changed drastically in the two and half months that had passed since they were there the first time

ldquoIt was unbelievable how much different things looked in August because so much dem-olition had taken place The entire area that we had worked on before had been cleaned up and was basically a blank slaterdquo Mr Sanchez said

They checked in with Serve Moore again but got a different assignment this time They were sent to a residential neighbor-hood to remove trees and limbs from residential yards

ldquoThe people we helped were all very grateful They really appreciated anything we could do for them - from just clean-ing up small limbs to re-moving big trees They were just thrilled to have us thererdquo Ana Karen a welding student from Longview who went on

both trips saidFloyd Gates saw the

team working in a yard and offered to pay them to cut up a tree in his yard down the street They vol-unteered to do the work for free and got to know Mr Gates better through-out the day He recently commented about their work on the NTCC Weld-errsquos Association Facebook page

ldquoI just want to thank all of you once again for helping me with my tor-nado damaged trees As a retired Texas Firefight-er it made me proud that some kindhearted Texans showed up at my house here in Moore and helped me out in a time of need It was like an answer to my prayers Hope you had a safe trip home and God bless you allrdquo Mr Gates wrote

NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation members who went on the first work trip in-cluded Marcos Sanchez (advisor) Dustin Smith Ana Karen Kenneth Bark-er Mark Johnson Deon Williams Jerry Simpson Donny Donham Mark Lawson David Olivares Miguel E Alvarado and Jaime Zamarripa Mak-ing the second trip were Mr Sanchez Mr Barker Ms Karen Mr Donham

Jesus Bernabe and Tim Stevenson

Mr Sanchez founded the NTCC Welderrsquos Associ-ation in 2012 as a way to help engage welding stu-dents and get them more involved in campus life They soon began partic-ipating in activities and raising money for their student organization They have adopted a two-mile stretch of Highway 11 and they participated in the Texas Outhouse Races at the Mount Pleas-ant Everything Texas fes-tival Fundraising efforts have included a drawing for a trailer built by NTCC welding students and a benefit barbecue

ldquoWe want to thank the people who have given money and supplies to our organization Your gifts enable us to participate in service projects like our trips to Moore and they are very much appreciat-edrdquo Mr Sanchez said

Active SeniorsActive Seniors

Most of us say we would like to age gracefully But the concept seems pretty much out of our hands or in the hands of a plastic surgeon We say we arenrsquot going to take those drastic measures but then many of us end up doing so Why Be-cause we didnrsquot just take the simple natural mea-sures we could have tak-en daily while we were still young

Did you know that only one third of what con-trols how gracefully we will age is determined by genetics Itrsquos shocking I know Maybe your dadrsquos gray hairs that popped up at the age of 30 or your momrsquos arthritis doesnrsquot have to be a major pan-ic point for you after all One third is genetics That means there is an entire two thirds that are completely based on your own choices

Keep reading to find some of the healthiest ways to approach these choices and learn how to age gracefully

The pursuit of happi-ness shouldnrsquot end with career marriage and family Because sadly as you age these things may become less present in your life But happi-ness boosts the immune system and reduces stress When you are stressed your heart rate goes up your digestion slows and blood flow is even blocked to certain muscles If you expe-rience chronic stress these conditions could lead to actual physical disorders like obesity diabetes ulcers and even cancer

Keep active and in-volved Happiness is easier to cultivate than you think Believe that life still has enjoyable experiences to offer you Even if you just donrsquot see how you can be happy as you age force yourself to go to events to gath-erings to dinner with friends Yoursquoll usually be pleasantly surprised with what you find and positive attitude and op-timism are linked to lon-gevity If yoursquore not sure what makes you hap-py learn Take notes at times when you feel par-ticularly uplifted and those when you feel anx-iety-ridden Where are you Who are you with What are you doing Ad-just your daily activities accordingly

The brain loves new experiences and sensa-tions Have you ever real-

We can grow old gracefully

ly regretted trying some-thing new So long as it didnrsquot harm you what you probably felt most of the time was a rush It feels good to know you have the guts to put your-self in unfamiliar envi-ronments and try things you arenrsquot necessarily skilled at Sometimes you have to fumble in order to have a new enjoyable experience But what you remember more than get-ting it wrong is how ex-citing it was to try some-thing new

Contrary to what many people believe your brain has the ability to continue building neural connections throughout life So donrsquot be afraid of new phenomena that simply didnrsquot exist when you were younger Jump head first into social me-dia classes or trying a new food trend everyone is raving about Doing so will cultivate curiosity creativity and an open mind additional traits linked to longevity

We are always harder on ourselves than others Wersquoll spend hours cook-ing a healthy meal for a friend on the weekend meanwhile we take our-selves through fast-food drive-thrursquos during the week We tell our friends how gorgeous they are and make self-deprecat-ing comments about our-selves

It may be harder than ever to do so now that yoursquore aging but itrsquos also more important than ever to love yourself Tell yourself you are fabulous Make yourself fabulous by dressing up standing up straight and quitting those self-deprecating thoughts and comments Do the things that make you happy more often and remind yourself itrsquos because you deserve to Why Because your body becomes stressed when you have thoughts like

ldquoIrsquom not good enoughrdquo And we already know stress is bad for the body

Research shows that those who are more so-cially connected -- that doesnrsquot just mean going to activities and events but actually cultivating friendships from them -- live longer This is just another way to ward off depression

As we age and can no longer do the things we used to do we begin to feel ldquouselessrdquo But something you can always offer is a set of ears some good ad-vice and if anything the ability to make someone laugh Think about how much the friends who do that for you mean to you You mean just as much to them You may not be a doctor actress or en-trepreneur anymore But through all of those years of work you also became the unique entertaining and wise individual you are That is something you will always have to offer

Exercising regularly makes you less likely to develop diabetes heart disease dementia os-teoarthritis depression and obesity One study found that women who walk briskly for just 5 hours a week have a 76 higher chance of aging gracefully and healthful-ly with less physical and mental impairment Of course if you are aging you canrsquot exactly run an hour a day or rock climb like you used to (if you used to at all) Look into low impact workouts like walking resistance training tai chi and yoga

You canrsquot control every biological process that goes on in your body as you age but what you can always control is your outlook and the life-style choices you make It turns out thatrsquos more than half the battle

Ah the golden years A time for chess knitting and bingo plus the occa-sional 4 orsquoclock dinner followed by a letter to the grandkids Sound famil-iar Probably not because many of todayrsquos seniors are more likely to get mov-ing eat fresh veggies from their gardens and text the grandkids about the new pictures on their Face-book wall Part of being an active senior might in-clude activities like board games sewing and dining out with friends but hob-bies for the older genera-tion have long been cross-ing over into what all ages enjoy

Are you a senior If yoursquore in your mid-40s yoursquore considered a senior in some parts of the world but by most Western esti-mates ldquoold agerdquo falls with-in the 60- to 65-year range and older because thatrsquos the age set for many insur-ance benefits and pensions [source Encyclopaedia Britannica] According to the US Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) the number of people aged 65 or older will more than double by 2030 and ideas for improving the quality of life for those living longer means in-creasing activity [source CDC] Maybe a more im-portant question than ldquoAre you a seniorrdquo is ldquoAre you an active seniorrdquo

Whether looking to in-crease passive activity by exercising your mind or to increase physical activ-ity by exercising -- or both ndash todayrsquos seniors are rede-fining and even extending their later years

Todayrsquos seniors are increasingly more active

Consider Your Op-tions

Will your loved one be happier aging in this place Assisted living is a good choice for many people who can no lon-ger manage on their own but itrsquos not the only one It may be possible for example to arrange for home health care for someone whorsquos not comfortable with the idea of living in a facil-ity or who doesnrsquot want to move from their long-term residence Staying in their own home may be isolating however for someone who has lost some or all of their mobility Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to take into account many factorsmdashincluding financial physical mental and emotionalmdashbefore mak-ing a decision

Know What Yoursquore Getting

There are no nation-al regulations for as-sisted-living facilities which means that li-censing and standards may vary from state to state Even within one state there may be dif-ferent levels of licens-ing or regulation for various kinds of facili-ties When checking out the quality of a specific facility you will want to ensure that it meets all applicable standards To make that determi-nation you may want to understand which lo-cal or state regulations govern each facility you consider

Five tips when considering an assisted-living

a hurried decision in the future Start out by visiting facilities When you arrive take note Does it seem like a pleasant place to live Is it not only clean and attractive but also easy to get around if mobil-ity is or could become a problem Do the res-idents seem happy and well cared for Are there organized activi-ties and events Do ap-propriate safety mea-sures protect residents in their kitchens bath-rooms and throughout the building These are some of the many questions you should ask You may also want to review the facilityrsquos contract with an elder care attorney and with your CPA to better un-derstand the legal and financial issues in-volved

Find Out About Fees

The national average monthly base cost for an assisted-living facility was $3477 according to a recent study Itrsquos obvi-ous that different facil-ities will have different base costs but be aware that each one may also add on a variety of ex-tra charges There may be added fees for say administering medi-cations housekeeping or certain activities Yoursquoll also want to find out whether a deposit is required and how much notice is needed when moving to a new facility or another level of care Ask too about how hospitalization costs are handled These are just a few of the finan-cial considerations to ask about before you sign a contract

Know Where to Turn for Help

The Older Americans Act requires each state to have an ombudsman program to resolve complaints about the long-term care system and advocate for en-hancements to it If you have a complaint about or problem with a fa-cility your state long-term care ombudsman may be able to help The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Re-source Center can pro-vide more information

Active SeniorsActive Seniors

Most of us say we would like to age gracefully But the concept seems pretty much out of our hands or in the hands of a plastic surgeon We say we arenrsquot going to take those drastic measures but then many of us end up doing so Why Be-cause we didnrsquot just take the simple natural mea-sures we could have tak-en daily while we were still young

Did you know that only one third of what con-trols how gracefully we will age is determined by genetics Itrsquos shocking I know Maybe your dadrsquos gray hairs that popped up at the age of 30 or your momrsquos arthritis doesnrsquot have to be a major pan-ic point for you after all One third is genetics That means there is an entire two thirds that are completely based on your own choices

Keep reading to find some of the healthiest ways to approach these choices and learn how to age gracefully

The pursuit of happi-ness shouldnrsquot end with career marriage and family Because sadly as you age these things may become less present in your life But happi-ness boosts the immune system and reduces stress When you are stressed your heart rate goes up your digestion slows and blood flow is even blocked to certain muscles If you expe-rience chronic stress these conditions could lead to actual physical disorders like obesity diabetes ulcers and even cancer

Keep active and in-volved Happiness is easier to cultivate than you think Believe that life still has enjoyable experiences to offer you Even if you just donrsquot see how you can be happy as you age force yourself to go to events to gath-erings to dinner with friends Yoursquoll usually be pleasantly surprised with what you find and positive attitude and op-timism are linked to lon-gevity If yoursquore not sure what makes you hap-py learn Take notes at times when you feel par-ticularly uplifted and those when you feel anx-iety-ridden Where are you Who are you with What are you doing Ad-just your daily activities accordingly

The brain loves new experiences and sensa-tions Have you ever real-

We can grow old gracefully

ly regretted trying some-thing new So long as it didnrsquot harm you what you probably felt most of the time was a rush It feels good to know you have the guts to put your-self in unfamiliar envi-ronments and try things you arenrsquot necessarily skilled at Sometimes you have to fumble in order to have a new enjoyable experience But what you remember more than get-ting it wrong is how ex-citing it was to try some-thing new

Contrary to what many people believe your brain has the ability to continue building neural connections throughout life So donrsquot be afraid of new phenomena that simply didnrsquot exist when you were younger Jump head first into social me-dia classes or trying a new food trend everyone is raving about Doing so will cultivate curiosity creativity and an open mind additional traits linked to longevity

We are always harder on ourselves than others Wersquoll spend hours cook-ing a healthy meal for a friend on the weekend meanwhile we take our-selves through fast-food drive-thrursquos during the week We tell our friends how gorgeous they are and make self-deprecat-ing comments about our-selves

It may be harder than ever to do so now that yoursquore aging but itrsquos also more important than ever to love yourself Tell yourself you are fabulous Make yourself fabulous by dressing up standing up straight and quitting those self-deprecating thoughts and comments Do the things that make you happy more often and remind yourself itrsquos because you deserve to Why Because your body becomes stressed when you have thoughts like

ldquoIrsquom not good enoughrdquo And we already know stress is bad for the body

Research shows that those who are more so-cially connected -- that doesnrsquot just mean going to activities and events but actually cultivating friendships from them -- live longer This is just another way to ward off depression

As we age and can no longer do the things we used to do we begin to feel ldquouselessrdquo But something you can always offer is a set of ears some good ad-vice and if anything the ability to make someone laugh Think about how much the friends who do that for you mean to you You mean just as much to them You may not be a doctor actress or en-trepreneur anymore But through all of those years of work you also became the unique entertaining and wise individual you are That is something you will always have to offer

Exercising regularly makes you less likely to develop diabetes heart disease dementia os-teoarthritis depression and obesity One study found that women who walk briskly for just 5 hours a week have a 76 higher chance of aging gracefully and healthful-ly with less physical and mental impairment Of course if you are aging you canrsquot exactly run an hour a day or rock climb like you used to (if you used to at all) Look into low impact workouts like walking resistance training tai chi and yoga

You canrsquot control every biological process that goes on in your body as you age but what you can always control is your outlook and the life-style choices you make It turns out thatrsquos more than half the battle

Ah the golden years A time for chess knitting and bingo plus the occa-sional 4 orsquoclock dinner followed by a letter to the grandkids Sound famil-iar Probably not because many of todayrsquos seniors are more likely to get mov-ing eat fresh veggies from their gardens and text the grandkids about the new pictures on their Face-book wall Part of being an active senior might in-clude activities like board games sewing and dining out with friends but hob-bies for the older genera-tion have long been cross-ing over into what all ages enjoy

Are you a senior If yoursquore in your mid-40s yoursquore considered a senior in some parts of the world but by most Western esti-mates ldquoold agerdquo falls with-in the 60- to 65-year range and older because thatrsquos the age set for many insur-ance benefits and pensions [source Encyclopaedia Britannica] According to the US Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) the number of people aged 65 or older will more than double by 2030 and ideas for improving the quality of life for those living longer means in-creasing activity [source CDC] Maybe a more im-portant question than ldquoAre you a seniorrdquo is ldquoAre you an active seniorrdquo

Whether looking to in-crease passive activity by exercising your mind or to increase physical activ-ity by exercising -- or both ndash todayrsquos seniors are rede-fining and even extending their later years

Todayrsquos seniors are increasingly more active

If yoursquore age 65 or older odds are you have a chron-ic condition

According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control amp Prevention about 80 per-cent of seniors in the US have at least one chronic condition The most com-mon chronic conditions among seniors are ldquosilent killersrdquomdashdiseases such as high blood pressure di-abetes and heart disease that often have no phys-ical symptoms Despite their silent nature these conditions may result in life-threatening complica-tions disability and sig-nificant costs if not prop-erly managed

ldquoA chronic condition like diabetes or heart dis-ease should not be tak-en lightlyrdquo said Rhonda Randall DO geriatrician and chief medical officer UnitedHealthcare Medi-care amp Retirement ldquoItrsquos important to get screened for these illnesses annual-ly even if you donrsquot have symptoms If you have a chronic condition ed-ucate yourself and take action to help reduce your risk of serious complica-tionsrdquo

Know your risk factors Everything from your age gender and genetics to your diet and exercise af-fect your risk for chronic conditions Having regular doctor visits and preven-tive screenings can help manage potential risks Medicare covers the cost of many preventive services for people with chronic conditions including an annual wellness visit at no co-pay

Reset your lifestyle Simple diet and exercise changes can help reduce

Seniors Take aim against silent killers

your risk of health compli-cations If you live a seden-tary lifestyle get back into an activity you enjoy doing Review the services offered by your health plan Many Medicare Advantage plans offer additional benefits and services to help mem-bers live healthier lifestyles including nutritionist coun-seling wellness programs and gym memberships If you smoke get out your cal-endar and circle the day you plan to quit today Medicare now covers counseling for smoking cessation support

More than 1 million people nationwide live in assisted-living fa-cilities according to government estimates Therersquos no common-ly accepted definition for these facilities but they all offer some level of assistance to people who donrsquot need full-time attention but who may need help with person-al care taking medica-tions or other concerns If you are considering an assisted-living ar-rangement for yourself or a loved one here is advice on issues to ad-dress

Consider Your Op-tions

Will your loved one be happier aging in this place Assisted living is a good choice for many people who can no lon-ger manage on their own but itrsquos not the only one It may be possible for example to arrange for home health care for someone whorsquos not comfortable with the idea of living in a facil-ity or who doesnrsquot want to move from their long-term residence Staying in their own home may be isolating however for someone who has lost some or all of their mobility Thatrsquos why itrsquos important to take into account many factorsmdashincluding financial physical mental and emotionalmdashbefore mak-ing a decision

Know What Yoursquore Getting

There are no nation-al regulations for as-sisted-living facilities which means that li-censing and standards may vary from state to state Even within one state there may be dif-ferent levels of licens-ing or regulation for various kinds of facili-ties When checking out the quality of a specific facility you will want to ensure that it meets all applicable standards To make that determi-nation you may want to understand which lo-cal or state regulations govern each facility you consider

Get Started EarlyItrsquos a good idea to be-

gin considering your op-tions well in advance so you donrsquot have to make

Five tips when considering an assisted-living

a hurried decision in the future Start out by visiting facilities When you arrive take note Does it seem like a pleasant place to live Is it not only clean and attractive but also easy to get around if mobil-ity is or could become a problem Do the res-idents seem happy and well cared for Are there organized activi-ties and events Do ap-propriate safety mea-sures protect residents in their kitchens bath-rooms and throughout the building These are some of the many questions you should ask You may also want to review the facilityrsquos contract with an elder care attorney and with your CPA to better un-derstand the legal and financial issues in-volved

Find Out About Fees

The national average monthly base cost for an assisted-living facility was $3477 according to a recent study Itrsquos obvi-ous that different facil-ities will have different base costs but be aware that each one may also add on a variety of ex-tra charges There may be added fees for say administering medi-cations housekeeping or certain activities Yoursquoll also want to find out whether a deposit is required and how much notice is needed when moving to a new facility or another level of care Ask too about how hospitalization costs are handled These are just a few of the finan-cial considerations to ask about before you sign a contract

Know Where to Turn for Help

The Older Americans Act requires each state to have an ombudsman program to resolve complaints about the long-term care system and advocate for en-hancements to it If you have a complaint about or problem with a fa-cility your state long-term care ombudsman may be able to help The National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Re-source Center can pro-vide more information
