Submit SAVVY SENIOR

How to check-up on your doctors YOUR
By JIM MILLER local news...
Dear Savvy Senior,
What resources are available that
can help me research some doctors in
my area? I’m looking for a new primary
care doctor for my mother and an or-
thopedic doctor for me, but I could use
some help.
Hunting for Docs
Dear Hunting,
Over the years, most people looking
for a new doctor have turned to friends,
family members, coworkers or doctors
they already know for a recommenda-
tion. Or many simply pick a physician
from their health plan who happens to
be nearby, and hope for the best. But
today, a growing number of resources
are available that can help patients
find the best medical care possible.
Here’s what you should know.
Finding Dr. Right
The Internet has become the single
greatest source for locating and eval-
uating physicians. Whether you’re
researching a new doctor or look-
ing to learn more about your current
doctor(s) there’s a number of online re-
sources that provide basic data on just
about every licensed doctor in the U.S.
Here are some good ones to help you
get started:
■ Vitals.com: A free Web resource
(www.vitals.com) that will help you
locate, evaluate and choose a doctor
based on their training, expertise, con-
sumer ratings and recommendations
from other doctors. You can also rate
doctors and leave comments for others
to see. Other sites to check that offer
similar services include www.ratemds.
com, www.findadoc.com, www.care-
seek.com, www.thehealthcarescoop.
com and www.drscore.com.
■ American Medical Association: Of-
fers a DoctorFinder service (http://we-
bapps.ama-assn.org/doctorfinder) that
provides free information on virtually
every licensed physician in the United
States, including their educational his-
tory, medical specialties and hospital
admitting privileges.
Doctor’s Check-Up
After you find a few doctors you’re
interested in, here are some additional
sources that can help you dig a little
deeper. To check into your doctor’s
board certification status, for example,
visit the American Board of Medical
Specialties www.abms.org or call 866-
275-2267. And to learn about any disci-
plinary actions taken against doctors,
your state medical licensing board is
your best resource. The Federation of
State Medical Boards Web site has di-
rect links to every state board at www.
fsmb.org/directory_smb.html where
you can search for free. Or you can go
to www.docinfo.org and request a phy-
sician profile (for $10) that includes li-
cense and disciplinary status.
If you’re looking for more information,
there are several fee-based services
that can help including Health Grades
(www.healthgrades.com), which pro-
vides reports ($29.95 each) that cover
education and training, board certifica-
tion, professional misconduct or disci-
plinary action, and satisfaction scores
from patients. Consumers’ Checkbook
(www.checkbook.org) is another neat
service that can help you search for
top-rated doctors that have actually
been recommended by other doctors.
Their database lists 20,000 physicians,
www.wcmessenger.com/submit
in 30 different fields of specialty, in 50
metro areas. They charge $24.95 for a
two-year subscription.
What to Know
Custom Wrought Iron Gates and Fencing
Once you have found a few names
of doctors you might want to try, here
are some additional things you need
to find out, which you can easily do by
calling their office:
■ Are they accepting new patients?
■ Do they accept your specific health
insurance plan? You can also find this
out by visiting your health plan’s Web
site. To search for doctors that accept

At what age should young-
sters begin hunting? This is
a question that will spark
myriad replies around the
campfire.
I’m sure we’ve all heard
comments such as “my little
Johnny shot his first buck
when he was only 4 years
old,” or “I was hunting deer,
harvesting them and doing
my own field dressing chores
when I was 10.” In truth,
some youngsters develop
faster than others, both
mentally and physically.
I remember well back in
the late 50s, taking my J.C.
Higgins single shot .22 rifle
into the woods behind our
farm in rural Red River
County on squirrel hunts
when I was only 8. I was
hunting alone and, in retro-
spect, probably a year or two
before I should have been.

ing was a way of life and we
all naturally gravitated to
the woods and water.
My wife and I have two
sons that I trained to shoot
and hunt, and both were, in
my opinion, ready to hunt on
their own at around 12 years
old. Both boys harvested sev-
eral wild hogs while hunting
with me when they were 9
to 11 years old. Before that,
they spent countless hours
with me in dove fields and
deer blinds as a spectator,
learning the basics such as
how to track game and how
far to lead a crossing dove. I
started them both shooting
BB guns at 6 years old. They
each graduated to pellet
rifles then, when they were
about 8, they got their first
scoped .22 rifle. They prac-
ticed only when Dad was
present, and they practiced
alone, no group shooting
sessions with other young-
sters. I’ve found it best to
work with youngsters on
a one-on-one basis when
learning the basics of shoot-
ing and firearm safety. Each
boy received his first 20-
gauge shotgun at the age of
11 and both quickly became
excellent wingshots. They
were hunting birds with me
a year or so before I allowed
them to actually harvest
deer.
Through osmosis, if noth-
ing else, I’ve learned a thing
or two about getting young-
sters started in shooting
and hunting. I now have a
total of five grandsons, four
of which are old enough to
begin the training process
that will hopefully one day
cause them to develop a full
blown love for the outdoors,
the game animals and hunt-
ing. At present, they appear
to be right on track. Be-
tween myself, and the boys’
other grandfather, they have
all been exposed to the out-
doors, and they are soaking
up the experience like little
sponges!

powerful tools that, if used
properly, will add countless
hours of enjoyment to their
lives but, if used improperly,
have the potential to cre-
ate much harm. Beginning
with that first air rifle, show
them exactly how the safety
works and instill in them
the hard rule that they are
never to point their rifle at
anything they do not intend
to shoot. If they are walk-
ing behind you, teach them
to carry the rifle so that the
muzzle is pointing behind
them, in a direction that if
the rifle should discharge,
nobody would be hit. Con-
versely, if they are in front,
keep the muzzle pointed to
the side, in a safe direction.
This most basic rule of fire-
arm safety will help avoid
the lions share of firearm
accidents.

Improvements in health

It can be a difficult situ-

strong sense of responsibil-

CHILDHOOD DIABETES
Type 1 diabetes is the most common
form of diabetes in children; 90-95
percent of diabetic children under
the age of 16 have this type. Diabe-
tes is caused by the inability of the
pancreas to produce insulin. In the
first few weeks, the main symptoms
include thirst, weight loss, tiredness,
and frequent urination. Tummy pains,
headaches, and behavior problems
are typical additional symptoms for
children. Most children with diabetes
need insulin treatment, which is in-
dividualized for each child’s needs.
Living with diabetes can put families
under considerable strain, so access
to backup support is crucial. A pedia-
trician and the physician’s team can
be most helpful with the planning and
support of the nutrition and medication
needs of the patient.
Diabetes in children can be stress-
ful for the families involved. Contact

to consider. The little rifles
they learned with had no
recoil. A rifle shooting a pro-
jectile large enough to har-
vest a deer or wild hog must
inherently ‘kick’ a little. The
trick is for the young hunter
to shoot a rifle with minimal
recoil. Forget the magnums
and even bigger 30 cali-
bers. A little .22/250 packs
enough punch, if shot place-
ment is good, to harvest the
biggest buck in the woods. I
know, I’ve seen the diminu-
tive little caliber used suc-
cessfully many times. The
6MM, .243 or .257 Roberts
all make great ‘starter’ deer
rifles. The trick is for the
youngster to shoot a caliber
he or she is comfortable with
and achieve a reasonable de-
gree of accuracy. I expect my
young charges to be able to
keep three shots in a 4-inch
circle at 100 yards all the
time, when shooting from a
good rest. When shooting at
game, I tell them to wait for
close shots that they know
they can make and pass up
anything else.

But there are also elderly

them unimportant.
Giving in to such demands

TEXAS HEALTH MATTERS

For parents on Halloween
night, much of the fun lies
in pretending to be terrified
by half-pint vampires with
sparkly pink hair clips and
chocolate-stained hands.
But when your own kids
are out trick or treating,
the make-believe terrors
of Halloween can turn real
in a hurry – unless you’ve
taught your young goblins
and wizards how to safely
enjoy their night of sugar-
fueled adventure.
You can start by sharing
the following advice from
the Texas Department of
State Health Services.
For kids:
■ Trick or treat only at
houses you’re familiar with
and only when the porch
light is on.
■ Look both ways before
crossing streets and cross
only at corners. Never step
into the street from between
parked cars, trees or other
large objects that might
prevent drivers from seeing
you.
■ Stay away from pets
you don’t know. Halloween
activity can frighten even
the most gentle animal and
they may feel threatened by
costumes.
■ Stay on sidewalks when-
ever possible. If there’s no
sidewalk, stick close to the
left side of the road facing
traffic.
■ Before leaving, check
your flashlight to make sure
the batteries are fresh.
■ Never accept rides or
treats from someone in a car
or truck.
■ Choose costumes that
glow in the dark, or add re-
flective tape or paint so you
can be seen at night.
■ If your costume’s mask
blocks your vision in any
direction, use face paint in-
stead.
■ Choose a costume that’s
short enough to reduce the
risk of tripping.
■ Some costumes may
be flammable, so stay away
from lighted candles, lan-
terns or other sources of
flame.
■ Don’t eat any Hallow-
een treats until they’ve been
checked by an adult.
For adults:
■ Keep jack o’ lanterns
and candles away from any-
thing that could catch fire,
including costumes and
decorations made of paper,
cardboard or plastic.
■ Clear your yard of
potentially dangerous or
breakable items such as lad-
ders, toys or tools.
■ Don’t let children under
12 go out alone. They should
be accompanied by buddies
and, preferably, an adult.
■ Know the route your
trick-or-treaters are plan-
ning to take.
■ Wear a costume if it
helps you get in the Hal-
loween spirit — but remove
your mask while driving.
■ If your kids’ costumes
feature items such as knives,
swords or light sabers, make
sure they’re soft and flex-
ible.
■ If you’re driving trick-or-
treaters around the neigh-
borhood, make sure they
enter and exit the car on the
side away from traffic.
And, of course, be aware of
time and give all your trick-
or-treaters a non-negotiable
deadline for getting home.
Unlike some years, no ad-
justment will be needed this

ing Time, which ends on Nov.

For most brush species,
ranchers tend to think of late
spring and early summer
as the season for herbicide
spraying. That is the best
time for foliar applications
on many hardwood species.

before you run out of brush,
you can change your tactics
to continue brush control
into the fall.
You can spray brush that’s
susceptible to foliar applica-
tion in the fall, or switch to
methods of application that
don’t depend on leaves to ab-
sorb the herbicide.
Basal bark applications
aren’t dependent on leaves,
and cool fall days may be the

treatment. With Remedy

It’s fall and thoughts turn
to pumpkin pie and Hal-
loween jack-o-lanterns. But,
can you use a pumpkin for
both a jack-o-lantern and for
eating?
Young children can enjoy
creating jack-o-lanterns by
drawing the eyes and mouth
on the pumpkins with mark-
ers. They can be creative
and have a good time and
the pumpkin is still safe for
eating.
Pumpkin pie tastes great

Halloween is right around
the corner, and the tempera-
tures are beginning to drop.
Take advantage of what’s
left of the warm weather
and make sure your home is
ready for winter before the
cold air and rain blow in.
After all, the last thing you
want to be doing during in-
clement weather is having to
take care of a problem, espe-
cially a foreseeable one that
could have been addressed
during warmer times.
It’s never a bad thing to
give your house an inspec-
tion to look for obvious signs
of damage or potential prob-
lems. Preventative mainte-
nance is about protecting
your investment.
Up on the rooftop
Take a good look at your
roof and make sure the
lines are straight. Any sag-
ging might signal rotting or
structural damage. You or
a roofing expert can get on
the roof and look for miss-
ing, dried or broken shin-
gles. Make sure to check the
flashing – those thin metal
strips around vents and oth-
er roof openings – for any
leaks. And look for vents
that might have become de-
tached by high winds.
Leave no stone
unturned
Loose brick, crumbling
mortar joints, and missing
caps are signs of neglect on
brick or stone construction.

PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
Unless you’re really handy,
hire a mason for these re-
pairs. You can buy a chim-
ney cap at most home repair
stores for about $40 that will
go a long way to keep out
unwanted moisture. Then,
use a flashlight to inspect
the inside of your fireplace.
The damper should operate
freely, and the flue should be
free of any creosote buildup.
Any problems there and you
will want to contact a chim-
ney sweep.
Get your mind
on the gutters
It might take some work,
but removing leaves from
gutters now will mean a dri-
er home when it gets colder.
Leaves and other debris can
clog gutters and force water
from storms or melting ice
to seep under the shingles.
To remove wet leaves and
debris, enlist a friend, your
spouse or your child for help.
One person works on the
ladder, digging the leaves
out with a garden trowel or
plastic scoop, while the other
is at the base of the ladder to
hold it steady and help cart
away debris. Even better,
hire someone to do this job
and make sure the company
is insured. You also can get
that company to repair or
replace sagging gutters and
reattach loose downspouts.
A bad hangover
Trim branches that hang
over the roof or brush up
against the exterior of
your house. In the name of
safety, consider trimming
branches that might break
with the weight of ice, es-
pecially if they hang over

SOLUTION
Feel the heat
Consider investing in an
annual inspection and clean-
ing by a licensed heating
contractor. Though you can
do some tasks, like chang-
ing filters, a professionally
maintained system runs
more efficiently and saves
money in the long term. Ask
the contractor what jobs you
can do at home, as well as
how often you should change
or replace filters. If you don’t
have an operator’s manual
for your system, write down
the model number of your

As the weather turns
colder and the holidays ap-
proach, many pet owners
start thinking of the ador-
able Halloween costumes
and cozy sweaters they can
put on their pets. While
these outfits can be fun and
festive, the wrong outfit can
cause harm to your animal.
Dr. Mark Stickney, Di-
rector of General Surgery
Services at the Texas A&M
University College of Veteri-
nary Medicine, Veterinary
Medical Teaching Hospital,
shares some tips and in-
sight on how to protect your
pet while celebrating the
season.
While Dr. Stickney agrees
that costumes and clothes
when dressing your pet is to
monitor them.
“Cute little costumes are
fun to put on your animals
while trick-or-treating, but
when you are not watching
your animals, make sure
to take them off,” said Dr.
Stickney.
He also stresses that this
also goes for sweaters, jack-
ets or any other clothing you
may put on your pet. While
you may think your pets
need clothes to stay warm,
they can do more harm than
good if the animal is not
monitored.
Dr. Stickney said, “More
than likely your animal does
not need to keep clothing on
to stay warm, even in the
PET TALK
more than fine without the
clothing.”
Although it is important
to watch your pets while
they are dressed it is also
important to make sure the
outfits you buy them fit cor-
rectly.
Anything that can wrap
around your pets neck, paws
or legs can cause them to
panic and seriously injure
themselves.
“This is especially com-
mon in small or young dogs
as many costumes may not
fit them correctly because
of their size,” said Dr. Stick-
ney. “The best way to select
pet costumes or clothing is
to buy them at a pet store
where you can take your pet

Greg Lowery
Republican for District Attorney
Endorsed by:
* Wise County Republican Sheriff David Walker
Jack County Democratic Sheriff Danny Nash
* Former Texas Ranger and Democratic Wise County
Sheriff Phil Ryan
* Former Democratic District Attorneys and current
defense attorneys Brock Smith and Barry Green
* Former Democratic Candidate for District Attorney
and current defense attorney Mike Carrillo
* Former Wise County Democratic Party Chair and
current defense attorney Paul Belew
Former Wise County Democratic Party Chair
Brenda Rankin
Six Wise County Police Chiefs (*Three of the six
Wise County Police Chiefs)
Why are Republicans and Democrats, law enforcement officials and defense
attorneys all voting for Greg Lowery?
Because in Mr. Lowery’s eight years as Wise County Attorney, they have all come
to know that Mr. Lowery is tough on crime and fair to all.
* All have experience dealing with the Democratic candidate for District Attorney
while he was the assistant Wise County Attorney, from 1998 to 2000. All have
chosen to endorse Greg Lowery because they know he is the best candidate for
District Attorney.
The Democratic candidate and myself can make all the promises in the world as to
what we will do if elected. We both have an agenda – to be your next
District Attorney.
Talk to local law enforcement officials, defense attorneys and courthouse
personnel and see who they are voting for and why. These are people whose only
interests are to see that criminals are strongly punished and to see that everyone is
treated fairly. They all have firsthand knowledge of what occurs in the courthouse.
Don’t take my word or my opponent’s word as to who is the best candidate. I feel
confident that when you talk to the people in the know, you will find that I am the
best candidate for District Attorney.

Turkey Hunting
The U.S. Forest Service,
Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department and the Nation-
al Wild Turkey Federation
are working cooperatively
in a restocking program to
reintroduce wild turkeys on
national forest lands.
Numbers have increased
significantly to allow a
spring season for wild tur-
key hunting. The Caddo
National Grassland and the
four national forests allow
shotgun-only hunting in the
spring. The LBJ National
Grassland has a fall and
spring season for the Rio
Grande turkey. Check your
hunting guide for season
dates.
Turkeys usually can be
found in older timber stands
that have some hardwoods,
but they also need younger
stands, especially during the
breeding and brood-rearing
seasons.
Large Animals
White-tailed deer can
be found throughout the
national forests. Deer are
true edge species and do
best where there is a mix of
stands of various ages. The
season will sometimes de-
termine where you can find
small concentrations of deer,
