MEET THE MEMORIAL CLINIC STAFF – (l-r) Kelly Newsome CPNP-PC, Howard Kweller MD, Martin Fielder MD, Tod Conner
MD, Georgia Day FNP, Melaine Reese CPNP-PC.
By BONNIE BURCH
Rains County Leader staff
With an ever-growing need for healthcare in Rains
County, Memorial Clinic of Emory is “stepping up to
the examining table” and offering expanded providers
and services.
At a Memorial Providers’ Meet and Greet Employee
Luncheon last Thursday, June 26, Primary Care Practice Manager Gina Stokes of the Sulphur Springs office
explained the clinic’s expansion.
About a year ago, Dr. Martin Fielder came in as a
specialist in obstetrics/gynecology, and there will now
be four pediatric providers: Dr. Tod Conner, Dr. Ryan
Forster and Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioners-Primary Care (CPNP-PC) Kelly Newsome and Melaine
Reese.
A rotating schedule will see Newsome there on Mondays, Dr. Conner on Tuesdays, Dr. Forster on Wednesdays and Reese on Thursdays.
Dr. Fielder, who practices in Sulphur Springs, will
be at the clinic every other Tuesday. Dr. Conner said
he was looking forward to seeing some of the same
patients he sees in the Sulphur Springs clinic, especially

The Point Volunteer Fire Department will host its 22nd annual
Tamale Fest Saturday, July 5, at
the fire station in Point.
Firefighters will be serving up
helpings of tamales and barbecue
sandwiches with cold drinks all
day.
Saturday evening, beginning at
5:00 p.m., the firefighters will host
their bodacious Barbecue Dinner at
the Point Civic Center. The dinner,
which is by donation only, includes
beef brisket with side dishes and
trimmings, a drink and dessert.
Drop by for a delicious dinner then
move over to the fire station for the
toe-tapping street dance.
This year, the firefighters have
ordered 1,200 dozen tamales for
Tamale Fest. That’s 14,400 individual tamales – but they sell fast
– so don’t delay! The firefighters
will also be cooking up 350 pounds
of melt-in-your-mouth brisket for
sandwiches and the barbecue dinner.
Show your support for the hardworking volunteers of the Point
fire department. Tamale Fest is the
PVFD’s biggest fundraiser of the
year.

Statewide boat-draining
rule takes effect July 1
ATHENS – Beginning
Tuesday, July 1, boaters
must drain all water from
their boats and on-board
receptacles before leaving or
approaching a body of fresh
water anywhere in Texas.
The new Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department regulation is designed to help
combat the further spread of
zebra mussels and other invasive species. The regulation
applies to all types and sizes
of boats whether powered or
not: personal watercraft, sailboats, kayaks/canoes or any
other vessel used on public
waters.
The regulation requires the
draining of livewells, bilges,
motors and any other receptacles or water-intake systems that come into contact
with public waters.
Live fish, including personally caught live bait, cannot be transported from the
water body where the fish
were caught or aboard a vessel in water from the water
body where the fish were
caught. Personally caught
live bait can only be used in
the water body where it was
caught.

INDEPENDENCE DAY
Freedom is precious
By BRYAN GOLDEN
On Independence Day, we celebrate the gift of America given to us
238 years ago by the founders of our great nation. Freedom is as precious as life itself. But its true value is rarely appreciated by people
unless it is either threatened or lost.
Although the human spirit yearns for freedom, tyrannical regimes
have been the norm throughout history. Since the dawn of mankind, people around the world have lived miserable, subjugated lives
repressed by monarchs, fascists, tyrants and dictators who controlled
virtually every aspect of their lives.
In 1776, America became the first country founded on the recognition of the sanctity of individual freedom. Life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness is the core of America.
The United States was the only country established exclusively on
the principle of individual liberty as an inalienable right. The founders of America recognized freedom as a fundamental human right,
not something bestowed by an individual or group. Our Constitution
was written specifically to protect our rights and freedoms from being
usurped by power hungry tyrants.
America was established for the expressed purpose of safeguarding
the individual from oppression, tyranny, and subjugation. America’s
founders recognized each individual as having the freedom to succeed.
Even today, most countries on earth do not permit freedom for their
populations. Governments or tyrants decide what is allowable within
the societies they control. In those countries, individuals do not have
freedom to make their own choices. Oppression is often enforced under
the guise of safety, security, health and fairness.
Freedom is so precious that individuals risk everything to attain it.
Throughout our history, people have constantly fled to America from
oppressive societies. They came here just for the opportunity to live in
freedom.
The first settlers who arrived in this country had endured perilous
ocean journeys that lasted for months. They left most, if not all, of their
possessions behind in order to reach a land where they could live their
lives free from oppression.
The power of freedom unleashed the human spirit as never before.
In less than 200 years, Americans invented, developed, produced and
accomplished more than societies thousands of years old. Our freedom
has enabled Americans to create the highest standard of living in history.
As precious as freedom is, there are those who want to take it away
in their quest for power and control. Their strategy is one of deception.
They publicly claim to seek to protect your liberty while deceitfully

Freedom is precious
Continued from page 1
working behind your back to
eliminate one freedom after
another. In America, no one has
the right to take your freedom.
Freedoms disappear gradually. They vanish in small,
innocuous increments under the
disguise of being done for your
well-being. The foods you are
allowed to eat. The subject matter you are permitted to watch
and read. The determination of
acceptable speech. What you
are allowed to write. What is
appropriate for your children
to learn in school. Those are
only a few of the freedoms suppressed in an oppressive society.
Those who were born in
America have known only
freedom. Too many take liberty
for granted. They don’t value
their freedom as being precious.
They are too willing to accept
the lies being told by those who
are eliminating one freedom
after another.
Your freedom is not free.
Countless people have given
their lives so that you may live
free. If you are not vigilant,
you will lose your freedom.
Freedoms lost are extremely
difficult to get back. If you
don’t recognize how precious
your freedom is, and speak out
against anyone trying to take it,
you will lose your freedom.

STATE CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS
MY TAKE ON TECH
Detention facilities swell with border crossers
AUSTIN – Streams of unaccompanied Central
American children continue to make their way
north, crossing the United States border into Texas
where federal custody awaits.
Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov.
David Dewhurst and House
Speaker Joe Straus earlier this
month jointly announced authorization for the Texas Department
of Public Safety to spend $1.3
million a week to fund security
operations on the border. Two
By Ed Sterling
state
lawmakers representing
TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION
border districts commented on
the situation last week.
Rep. Sergio Muñoz Jr., D- Mission, welcomed
the surge of state troopers, but said, “We still need
to find solutions to other strains on the system,
such as processing, sheltering and medical screening of thousands of new immigrants.” He added, “I
believe anything we can do to draw resources and
funding from our federal and state governments to
help our local agencies recoup their costs is well
worth the effort.”
Rep. Eddie Lucio III, D-Brownsville, met
with Gov. Perry and state senator and gubernatorial candidate Wendy R. Davis to discuss issues
related to the population influx. “We have to keep
in mind these are not grown adults, they are kids.
It is our moral duty to help however we can and
find solutions to this situation,” Lucio said in a
news release, “according to the United Nations
high commissioner for refugees, in 2013 over
21,000 unaccompanied and separated minors
were detained by Customs Border Patrol and by
the year 2015 over 60,000 minors are expected to
arrive. Many of these children, average age of 14,
are fleeing from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras due to various reasons ranging from gang
violence to deprivation.”
Without Congressional action on immigration
policy reform, over the past months and years,
many politicians have voiced a desire for action on
the border. In a June 23 letter, Sen. Davis called on
the governor to: (1) declare a state of emergency
to secure essential resources, supplies, emergency
services and facilities to meet the demand; (2) call
an immediate emergency special session of the
Texas Legislature, in the absence of federal action;
(3) request additional immigration judges immediately; and (4) send the state/local bill to the federal
government.
Gov. Perry announced on June 26 that he would
provide testimony “about how the growing border
crisis is impacting Texas” at a hearing of the U.S.
House Homeland Security Committee scheduled
for July 3 at McAllen, in Hidalgo County.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the
Republican candidate governor, on June 27 traveled to Hidalgo County. He announced his participation in a border security briefing with U.S.
Customs & Border Protection officers, and his tour
of a detention facility where he said people who
illegally crossed into Texas are being housed.
Last week U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-California, was in Brownsville where she visited a federal
detention facility. On June 26, Pelosi wrote to
House Speaker John Boehner, asking for a bipartisan solution to “the humanitarian crisis at the
southern border.” President Obama, on June 28,
announced he would ask Congress to approve $2
billion in emergency aid to help Texas and other
states address the crisis.
Court rules in EPA case
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 23 ruled in
Utility Air Regulatory Group v. Environmental
Protection Agency et al., a case brought by a group
of states including Texas. The federal agency’s
methods of regulatory oversight over how states
meet greenhouse gas emissions guidelines through
permitting processes were ruled out of bounds.
Texas Attorney General Abbott reacted, writing,
“Today the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a stern
rebuke to the President” who he said had used
“unelected bureaucracies to override the will of the
people.”
Wording in the opinion of the court dealing
with the EPA’s authority to set thresholds for emissions states: “EPA asserts newfound authority
to regulate millions of small sources – including
retail stores, offices, apartment buildings, shopping
centers, schools, and churches – and to decide, on
an ongoing basis and without regard for the thresholds prescribed by Congress, how many of those
sources to regulate. We are not willing to stand on
the dock and wave goodbye as EPA embarks on
this multi-year voyage of discovery. We reaffirm
the core administrative-law principle that an agency may not rewrite clear statutory terms to suit its
own sense of how the statute should operate.”
Holiday patrols to increase
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
last week announced plans to increase patrols for
an 11-day period that includes the Fourth of July
holiday through July 7.
DPS troopers are under instructions to focus on

Dr. Conner for eight years and
they make a “good team.”
Moreover, Primary Care Dr.
Howard (Howie) Kweller, who
practiced here in the ’80s, left to
set up his own shop in Greenville
but retired and came back to the
easygoing pace of Emory about a
year-and-a-half ago. Dr. Kweller
said he offers care three days

Georgia Day will see patients
every weekday, Monday through
Friday from 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.,
with an emphasis on women’s
healthcare. She has been a FNP
for 23 years and her arrival date
is expected in 60 days.
Rains ISD Superintendent John
Rouse attended and explained
that this county offers “fertile
ground” for healthcare providers
with over 1,600 students and an
aging population. He asked about
the possibility of the clinic offering a lab and x-rays and Chief
Administrative Officer Mike Yost
answered that as the patient base
grows, it’s a possibility.
Rouse further stated that the
school is now offering daycare
for teachers, for a fee, and invited Memorial Clinic personnel to
pass out paperwork at that facility. He added that he wouldn’t be
opposed to offering a Memorial
Clinic night, possibly at a basketball game.
An on-site flu shot clinic, health
fairs and education on health topics are available, Stokes added,
and Rouse said those would be
good as well as a visit to Career
Day.
Stokes also mentioned that the
clinic is working with the Texas
Department of Transportation
(DOT) and can provide sport and
pre-employment physicals.
Emory’s Director of Economic
Development Keeley Roan added
that communication was the key
to the community “putting a new
face” on Memorial Clinic and
personnel might consider attending the Rains County Fair, Eagle
Fest, Founder’s Day and/or car
shows around the square.
Stokes remarked that “word of
mouth” is the best means of communication.
Rains County Leader Advertising Director Kay Thompson
suggested that personnel might
submit a monthly article regarding Memorial Clinic activity,
which the newspaper would welcome.
Receptionist Kara Hooten discussed the active 4-H program
in the county, adding that businesses get a great amount of
publicity by purchasing winning
animals at the Rains County Fair.
“Over 3,000 people know what
business bought the Grand Prize
Steer or the winning hog,” she
added. Hooten asked personnel
to consider buying a winner.
Among the attendees was
Rains County Judge Wayne

Eating
Fresh
Saltimbocca in Italian means “jumps in the
mouth.” I’m not sure if that’s because the flavors are so delightful when eating the dish or if
it tastes so good that one can’t
resist another bite. It is usually
made with veal but I’ve always
made it with chicken. The dish
is common in southern Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Greece.
Each country has its own version and flavor preferences, so

modified my recipe and the following version is low-cal and
low-fat.
Stuffed Chicken Saltimbocca
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
6 oz. reduced-fat feta cheese
1 Tbsp. fat free Half & Half
6-8 sage leaves, chopped
1 tsp. garlic salt
1⁄2 tsp. cracked black pepper
1 tsp. olive oil
Butterfly-cut the chicken breast halves by slicing widthwise almost to the other edge. Lay a
large piece of plastic wrap on the cutting board.
Open each breast, keeping the edge intact, and
spread across the plastic wrap. Place another

piece of wrap on top of the chicken. Gently
pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat
mallet, using a down-and-away motion until it is
about 1⁄4 inch thick. The plastic wrap contains
the raw chicken, reducing contamination and
making clean-up easier.
Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl and mix
in the Half & Half, sage, garlic salt and pepper.
Place a spoonful of the mixture on each flattened
chicken breast. Roll up and place on a baking
pan. Brush olive oil on each roll and season with
a little salt and pepper. Cook in a 400-degree
oven for 25 minutes.
Clean the cutting board, utensils and work
surface with hot soapy water. Always wash your
hands after handling raw chicken and never reuse
the cutting board without thoroughly cleaning
it first. In fact, it is best to have separate cutting
boards when making this dish – one for the raw
chicken prep and one for processing the herbs
and vegetables.
Salad with Seasoned Bread Crumb Topping
1 Tbsp. butter
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp. garlic salt
3 tomatoes, sliced
1 head romaine lettuce
In a small frying pan, melt butter and add
bread crumbs, thyme and garlic salt. Cook on low
heat, stirring occasionally, until the bread crumbs
are lightly toasted. Wash, drain and tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Serve with tomato
slices, a splash of lemon juice (or your preferred
dressing) and top with the toasted seasoned bread
crumbs.
The stuffed chicken saltimbocca and side salad
serves 4, and each serving has about 368 calories
and 15 grams of fat. For a full fat version, consider using grated provolone cheese instead of
feta and wrapping each breast with thinly sliced
bacon or prosciutto before baking.

Last week, I attended an unusual funeral. To
be sure, there were some tears and some evidence
of sadness, but mostly it was a joyful celebration of a life well-lived and a
loving tribute to a man who
was well-loved. One of the first
things I noticed was a large floral arrangement that depicted a
man on an orange riding lawn
mower. Next, I noticed that
when the extended family filed
into the sanctuary, most of them
LINDA BRENDLE

Leader Correspondent
The daughter of the departed
read the eulogy. She began with
the traditional statistics – dates of birth, marriage,
death, and also the names of survivors. From
there, she went on to tell her father’s life story.
She told of his spiritual journey from a roughedged man of the world to a devoted follower of
Jesus.
Assisted by her daughters and nieces, she told
stories that were both funny and touching – and
she explained the flower arrangement and the
color choices. As his health declined and walking became difficult, her father used his riding
mower to keep tabs on his beloved homestead.
His orange four-wheeler, as he called the
mower, became a personal trademark along
with the color red, which was his favorite color
because he said it reminded him of the blood of
Jesus.
A celebratory memorial service can be a
wonderful tribute but there are also other ways
of expressing love and appreciation to those we
value. For centuries, artists have paid tribute to
people of value through sculpture, painting and
other art forms. Modern technology now allows
us to immortalize each other through photography and other visual imagery. In addition to
artistic tributes, we can honor those we love with
written tributes and what I like to call lifestyle
tributes.
My first close encounter with written tributes was several years ago when I was involved
in a caregiver support group. At one point, we
devoted several meetings to the topic and I was
surprised to discover that written tributes can
sometimes be more important to the writer than
to the honoree.
Since many of our loved ones were afflicted
by some sort of dementia, reading or presenting
a letter or framed document to them would have
been confusing. However, the writing process
helped the caregiver focus on the more positive
aspects of her loved one. Remembering who the
person was before age, infirmity, and dementia
turned them into an angry, messy and uncooperative patient sometimes brought a kind of closure
and a sense of relief. Often, comfort and healing
came with the preparation of a tribute and by
sharing it with the group.
Lifestyle tributes can help restore a sense of
control that is taken away after years of dealing
with uncontrollable situations. Some caregivers
have become advocates, either against the disease
that took their loved one or for causes that were
important to them.
I’m not much of an activist but my writing has
become, in part, a lifestyle tribute to Mom and
Dad. When something I write encourages caregivers and others who are in difficult situations,
it seems to give some meaning to the otherwise
meaningless struggle that defined the last years
of Mom and Dad’s lives.
Tributes can take many forms. Regardless of
which form you choose, finding a way to show
honor and respect to one you loved is an important part of letting go and saying good-bye.

TEXAS A&M FOREST SERVICE
Use caution during July 4th holiday
COLLEGE STATION – There
are many ways to celebrate July
4th, and while sitting by the
campfire, grilling a favorite dish,
or using fireworks are common
activities – they could spark a
wildfire.
According to Texas A&M
Forest Service (TFS) Prevention
Specialist Jan Amen, 90 percent of wildfires are started by
humans, so it is imperative to be
mindful of the risk of starting a
fire – even with recent rainfall.
“In Texas there are currently
no areas of concern over the
holiday but it’s still important
locally to be careful with the use
of fireworks,” Texas A&M Service Predictive Services Department Head Tom Spencer said,
“It’s still possible to start a fire.”
Due to the recent rains in
May and June the potential for
wildfire has decreased across
much of the state. However, TFS
encourages everyone to use caution and stay safe this Independence Day.
Fireworks safety tips:
• Before you celebrate, always
check with local government officials to ensure fireworks and outdoor burning
are allowed in your county.
Be sure to comply with all
restrictions.
• Read and follow all warnings
and instruction labels on fireworks.
• Use fireworks only under
close adult supervision and in
safe areas away from structures, dry grass and brush.
• Keep a hose, bucket of water
and wet towels nearby in case
of a malfunction or fire.
• Dispose of used fireworks in
a bucket of water.
• Never ignite fireworks in a
container, especially a glass
or metal container.
Note: Burn bans and firework
restrictions are determined by
county government. TFS does
not take a position on the use of
fireworks, nor does the agency
determine, set or lift restrictions.

BONNIE’S WORLD
LAKE FORK SPORTSMAN’S ASSOC.
Taking a stand
First on one foot, then the other, then flat-footed. I figured that’s how writer Dan Kois stood for
his record-breaking 18 hours per day for 30 days,
penning an article about it in the
New York Magazine.
Actually, he said he also
crouched, balanced one leg
against the wall and folded
and unfolded his arms as well
because the major part of the
routine wasn’t to stand in one
place (bad for you) but to stay in
BONNIE BURCH
motion (good for you).
Leader Staff
Is Kois a nutcase? Well, no.
He kept a diary of his “vertical
month” as part of a project to offset driving to
work and sitting at a desk every day, essentially
engaging in a sedentary lifestyle which many
demonstrate five days a week, usually adding two
more on the weekend plopped in front of TVs or
computers.
Once again, applause goes to National Public
Radio, this time the Rocky Mountain station,
for providing the provocative tidbit. Hubby Wes
and I were driving past Denver on the way to a
fabulous family outing at a magnificent lodge in
Victor, Idaho, when I heard the interview with
Melissa Block. By the way, the two stood for the
interview with Block wearing high heels – and
complaining.
Not too many would be spellbound by listening
to a radio segment about a man standing for 30
days but I was because three family members on
our outing couldn’t stand – at least not for very
long. A son-in-law is in a wheelchair due to multiple sclerosis, and my older brother and ex-husband both suffer lower extremity diabetes-related
issues, making it difficult for them to stand or
walk at best. (Yes, my ex often accompanies us
on trips so we’re one big happy family.)
For the latter two, visiting Yellowstone and
Grand Teton National Parks was on their bucket
lists. One had been before and dreamed of going
back and the other had never been at all. We “got
‘er done” by soaking in Mother Nature’s grandeur
in fine fashion.
Jones of Dallas wins Lake Fork Catfish Classic
The three who couldn’t stand/walk watched
Old Faithful spout off, right on cue, from cars and
with assistance, they managed to shuffle and/or
use walkers/wheelchairs to peer over the rim of
the majestic Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
while watching the emerald-colored waterfall
crash to the bottom and snake its way downstream.
Relaxing in cars while the rest of us enjoyed
the gurgling Clay Pot area and the Mammoth Hot
Springs tumbling down a travertine hill, they marveled at the Grand Tetons jutting toward the sky
with snow-covered tips, as did we all.
Back to Kois and a month of standing, he said
he read study after study revealing that sitting too
much on one’s backside has a negative impact
on health. Sure, his endeavor was somewhat of a
stunt but more importantly, it brought attention
to an ongoing problem, not only for adults who
work at desks but also for children who’d rather
sit glued to TVs or tech gadgets than play outside.
Kois’s regimen did offer some respite. After
realizing it was physically impossible to tie his
shoes while standing, he sat while doing that; he
sat to drive his car; and he sat when nature called.
Other than sleeping horizontally in a bed for 5-6
hours a night, those were the only times he got off
his feet.
What did he learn? That body posture affects
relationships. That standing for that long was
murder on his heels, calves, lower back and hips.
That reading a bedtime story to his children was
awkward: they couldn’t see the book plus they
thought he was weird. That millions of Americans
in the service industry stand all day and suffer terribly. That he was grumpy and whiney when his
wife rubbed his feet at night.
No one was grumpy or whiney on our trip. The
two with bucket lists filled their pails and all 22
of us realized that most likely, we will never all
be in one place at the same time again – and we
were thankful.

On another
Environmental
Enforcement
note, this coming weekend
is the Fourth
of July. In addition to a family
gathering/barbecue/picnic, do we
often stop to consider the importance of this date? Do we ever
discuss this with our children,
grandchildren or friends? Have
you ever considered what our
country would be if this event
had never taken place? Indeed,
what would the impact have been
on the entire world had our nation
never come to fruition?
While you are pondering those
philosophical points, please
enjoy your weekend, your gathering, your trip to the lake or
whatever plans you have. Above
all, conduct your activities in a
safe manner so we may have the
pleasure of your company after
the weekend.
I am available for further
information on this matter or
environmental issues at 903-4735091 or at my office at 109 Wood

By Joyce Durrett
We are blessed to have Bro.
Joe Ramsey as our pastor at
Woosley. We have searched
for about three months and the
good Lord sent us Bro. Ramsey
about two months ago. We are
impressed with his love for God
and his heart to serve the Lord.
We will have a pot luck lunch
next Sunday in his honor. We
invite the community to bring
a dish, have lunch with us and
meet Bro. Ramsey. We know he
will be an asset to this area. Our
little church proves that Godly
men will be provided in God’s
own time.

Anglers are allowed to transport and use commercially purchased live bait if they have a
receipt that identifies the source
of the bait. Any live bait purchased from a location on or
adjacent to a public water body
that is transported in water from
that water body can only be used
as bait on that same water body.
Anglers participating in a
fishing tournament confined to
one water body may transport
live fish in water from that single
water body to an identified offsite weigh-in location, but all
water must be drained and properly disposed of before leaving that location. Anglers are
required to possess documentation, provided by tournament
Seen...
organizers, that identify them as
participants in the tournament.
Movement from one access
point to another on the same
lake during the same day does
not require draining and there
is an exception for governmental activities and emergencies.
Marine sanitary systems are not
covered by these regulations.
Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department and a coalition of
partners are working to slow
the spread of zebra mussels by
reminding boaters to Clean,
Drain and Dry their vessels
before traveling from one lake
to another. The Sabine River
Authority is a partner in this
effort.
