Legendary high school football coach Robin Kirk has been a part of nine state championships -- as a player, assistant coach and head coach.

During that time, he’s helped student-athletes hone their skills, athletically and academically.

But Kirk, a 1972 St. Pius X grad-uate, said he didn’t take care of his health and fitness the way he should have.

“If you’re not taking care of yourself, you can’t take care of anyone else,” Kirk said.

Kirk, the current Reagan High co-offensive coordinator who won three state titles as SPX’s head coach from 1999-2008, counts getting control of his health and fitness among his greatest accom-plishments.

Kirk, 59, was coaching at Hi-dalgo Early College in 2010 when stress and lack of exercise had taken its toll. The 6-foot-2 coach

weighed 330 pounds, and it start-ed to affect his health.

He visited Dr. Melecia Fuentes in the neighboring Rio Grande Valley town of Weslaco.

“She said ‘we can fix this, but you have to start eating right and exercising,” Kirk said.

Kirk took the doctor’s words to heart -- literally.

He managed to lose 90 pounds without the assistance of pills or surgery, by walking daily and managing his diet.

Kirk is down to 240 pounds and plans on losing 30 more. He’s gone from 48 size pants to below 40.

He goes for check-ups every six months and monitors his health statistics.

Every morning, Kirk wakes up between 5 and 5:30 a.m. and comfortably walks seven or eight miles around the track at a mid-dle school near his Lake Houston home.

Kirk said drinking a lot of water and getting at least 7 to 8 miles per day. He even walked a marathon last December in Humble.

“If I don’t walk at least seven miles, I feel like I didn’t do any-thing,” Kirk said. “When you walk, exercise, and drink properly, you’re going to get rid of your waist (and waste). Don’t eat late -- that’s what put weight on me.”

Kirk said coming up with an exercise plan requires one major factor.

“Consistency is the name of the game,” he said.

As far as his regular diet, Kirk prefers whole grain bread and vegetables. He stays away from sweets, instead cooking a dessert of oatmeal with apples, blueber-ries and raisins.

“Whole grain bread is where it’s at,” Kirk said. “I put a little bit

of peanut butter and honey on it. One of my meals will have some major vegetables in it. I always have an apple or an orange.”

When he dines out, Kirk will go for a healthy option like baked chicken and a salad.

Kirk is re-invigorated in his professional career as well. When he coaches, he’s very vocal and ac-tive -- to the point that a practice is like a workout itself.

“Where I came from to where I am now, it’s incredible,” Kirk said. “There’s a big difference in how I feel when I get up.”

If he hadn’t made the afore-mentioned lifestyle changes, Kirk doubts he could be that type of coach for the Bulldogs, who are expected to win their first district championship since 1959.

“I want to coach and teach as long as I can physically do it,” said Kirk, who worked as a Houston Police Department officer from 1979 to 1999. “I’m real excited about being at Reagan. It’s the kind of place you want to be around.”

New guidelines on PSA screenings target men at

higher risk for prostate cancerNew guidelines on more selectively

screening healthy men for prostate-spe-cific antigen – or PSA – might have men of all ages wondering about whether and when they should be tested and how of-ten, says Dr. R. Emmett McDonald, a practicing urologist affiliated with Me-morial Hermann Northwest Hospital and a member of the Memorial Hermann Ac-countable Care Organization.

As revised and introduced in May 2013, the American Urological Association’s guidelines for the PSA blood test – once considered a routine diagnostic tool in the early detection of prostate cancer -- now focus on men considered to be at a

higher risk for the typically slow-growing form of cancer, he explains.

Age, race (African-American) and family history affect the incidence rate of prostate cancer, Dr. McDonald says. In the latter case, having family members who developed prostate cancer in their later years is less of a risk factor than if their incidences occurred prior to age 60.

Most healthy men beyond these pa-rameters are usually considered “a neutral risk,” he says.

Prostate cancer is a common but suc-cessfully treatable form of cancer, espe-

As Oct. 1 looms, questions linger about health care act effects

October 1 is an important date in the Affordable Care Act for employers and employees, but how the program will ultimately affect health care costs is largely unknown at this point, according to Life Brokerage Inc. president Jeff Przybyla and other industry leaders.

“It’s unknown, but we can only guess that it’s not going to get any cheaper,” Przybyla said. “There’s a lot of mandatory benefi ts that are probably going to eventually add to the cost.”

The fi rst of the upcoming

month is the deadline for employ-ers to send notice of the public health insurance exchanges (now called marketplaces) and eligibil-ity for premium tax credits or cost sharing.

All employees will receive the notice, whether they currently have health insurance or not. New employees must be notifi ed within 14 days of Oct. 1.

The ACA marketplaces don’t go into effect until Jan. 1, but small businesses can enroll for coverage under Small Business Health Op-tions Program (SHOP) on Oct. 1.

Small businesses, recognized as businesses with fewer than 50 employees, do not have to imple-

ment a Shared Responsibility Plan (SRP) that their larger business counterparts (50+ employees) will be required to do.

An SRP, according to thegate-newspaper.com’s article on the basics of the ACT, requires “com-panies who do not offer health insurance to their employees to make a shared payment if at least one of its employees qualifi es for lower cost monthly premiums through the marketplace,” while small businesses will have the op-portunity to be part of SHOP, in which “employers can control the coverage offered to employees and control how much they will pay towards employees’ premiums.”

The difference in the programs can become a factor in the deci-sions of small businesses to grow beyond 49 employees.

“That will be a consideration,” said Stephen Fraga, one of the owners of Tejas Offi ce Supplies, based in the Heights, “so we won’t have so much regulation and won’t have to put up with issues of insurance.”

Fraga said Tejas Offi ce Supplies has seen its insurance coverage, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, increase its premiums by 17 percent from last year.

“We’re waiting to see where the exchange rates will be when they’re published,” Fraga said. “Ev-

erybody needs insur-ance. We encourage our employees to get it. If (ACA) would help lower insurance cost, that would be a great thing. We’re waiting to see what happens in Texas. Some states’ pre-miums have gone down and oth-ers have gone up dramatically. I don’t see it be-ing cheaper than what we’re doing now.”


Policy Advice: Will you lose your retirement medical benefi ts?

for women living below 200 percent of the federal poverty level and provide HACS patients with access to timely diagnostic services typically found in larger hospital settings. Without access to these diagnostic services, patients would have to wait upwards of two months, which inhibits positive health outcomes. The

funding for the procedure rooms and equipment was provided by the Humana Communities Benefi t grant in Houston, a one-time gift of $100,000 from the Hu-mana Foundation to create new programs or enhance ongoing activities that have a positive transforma-tional impact on the health of the community.

Help Toni:I am so nervous over what is

happening with my late husband’s retirement benefi ts. He worked for IBM and they are canceling his retiree Medicare coverage which I am covered with. What do I do NOW?? I am a 73-year-old female who has never purchased insur-ance before and have no idea of what to look for.

Marilyn

Hello Ms. Marilyn:You are the fi rst person who has

contacted me about losing retiree benefi ts because their company is either not covering the retirees and spouses or that the company is asking retirees to enroll in a Medi-care Advantage plan. This trend of companies not covering retirees began last fall during 2013’s Medi-care Open Enrollment Period with Baker Hughes, TRS and CITGO to name a few companies not cover-ing their retirees.

I am sure that there are others having the same problem because the letters informing the retirees are beginning to arrive in the mail box. Your IBM retirement plan is the fi rst that I have heard of and I would like for my readers to email me if their company is doing the same and I can post it on the www.tonisays.com website, so that oth-ers are aware of what is happen-

ing.Don’t worry: There is light at

the end of the tunnel. You have two options to pick from:

• Option 1: Medicare Supple-ment with a Prescription Drug Plan (Part D)

W o r k s d i r e c t l y with “Orig-inal Medi-care” and gives more freedom to go to any healthcare p r o v i d e r or doctor who accepts Medicare assignment. Marilyn…you have retirement benefi ts and since your company, IBM, has sent you a letter saying that you will have no Medicare coverage after Jan. 1, 2014, you will have guaranteed issue (which means you do not have to answer health questions and your policy will be issued). Guaranteed issue is for certain Medicare Supplement plans depending on the insurance company you apply to . You will have 63 days to apply and receive guaranteed issue for a Medicare Supplement because you are cur-rently “not working” and retired on company benefi ts. You will want to search for a Medicare

Part D plan that fi ts your needs and covers all of your drugs. Call Medicare at 1/800-MEDICARE (633-4227) or go online at www.medicare.gov to see which Part D Plan fi ts your needs. You will have the same 63 days to enroll in a Part D plan without receiving a Part D (LEP) penalty.

• Option 2: Medicare Advan-tage Plan

With Open Enrollment for Medicare occurring from Oct. 15-Dec. 7, now is the time to search for the right Medicare Advantage plan to fi t your health situation. Talk with your doctor about chang-ing from “Original Medicare” to a Medicare Advantage plan. Make sure your doctor or healthcare provider accepts the plan that you are exploring. Many Medicare Ad-vantage plans contain Medicare Part D, so you may not have to enroll in a separate Part D plan, if prescription drug is included.

If you have any other questions concerning losing your retirement benefi ts or searching for the right Medicare plan email me at www.tonisays.com/ask-toni.

cially in the early stages since it is slow-growing, Dr. McDonald says.

In fact, older patients who learn they have an elevated PSA level are more likely to die of heart disease, obesity or other lifestyle-related conditions, he notes, especially when prostate cancer treatment slows the rate of growth or recur-rence.

Recent literature and health studies have netted updates to screening recommendations for men without symptoms.

Symptoms from prostate can-cer occur infrequently, and most men with difficulty urinating or with erectile dysfunction have other, more likely benign causes to discuss with their medical profes-sionals, Dr. McDonald says. These benign conditions can make the interpretation of the PSA test challenging, but PSA testing in age-appropriate men should be performed after infections or in-flammations have been resolved.

Last year, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommended against routine PSA screening in healthy men.

In May 2013, however, the American Urological Association also revised its guidelines on rou-tine PSA screening.

A RUNDOWN ON RECOMMENDATIONS

Since the AUA’s revised guide-lines target high risk populations, they recommend screening of Af-rican-American men starting at age 50 as well as men with a posi-tive family history of prostate can-cer before the age of 60.

For other men ages 54 through 69, however, PSA recommenda-tions support screening based on shared decision making and pref-erences, guidelines say.

The guidelines do not recom-mend PSA screening in healthy men under age 40 or over age 70 (except in men with an additional life expectancy exceeding 10 to 15 years).

Another change is the interval between PSA screenings. Once part of an annual check-up in men over age 50, PSA screening every two years is now expected to “pre-serve the majority of the benefits and reduce over diagnosis and false positives,” guidelines say.

Whether or not to pursue PSA screening more frequently, how-ever, is something men should continue to discuss with their physicians, McDonald says. That’s the “shared decision making” and “preferences” the AUA guidelines also support.

COMMON BUT TREATABLEProstate cancer is second only to

skin cancer as the most common cancer diagnosis in American men, according to the American Cancer Society. More than 218,000 men are diagnosed each year, and the risk increases with age.

But while there’s an estimated 16 percent rate of diagnosis, the chance of it causing death is 3 per-cent, with nearly 30,000 men per year dying from prostate cancer, ACS figures show. African-Ameri-cans, however, have a higher inci-dence rate and twice the mortal-ity rate, the National Institutes of Health’s Cancer Institute reports.

NIH materials also say prostate cancer incidence rates have been declining since the mid-1990s, having initially increased as the PSA screening became widespread after the FDA approved its use in 1986.

Given the new AUA guidelines, “active surveillance” in selected low-volume and well-differentiat-ed tumors has joined the possible

non-surgical responses to moni-toring and managing prostate health, Dr. McDonald says.

More aggressive treatments, when merited, might include some combination of robotic or traditional surgery (prostatecto-my), radiation therapy, hormone therapy and cryotherapy. Each has potential side effects for urinary continence, sexual function and quality of life.

For the past decade, Dr. Mc-Donald has also been interested in how nutrition might play a part in preventing the development of

prostate cancer and delaying the recurrence in those who have been treated for the disease.

The data findings are inconclu-sive, he says, though he reminds patients that “what you eat affects overall health.”

As a urology specialist, Dr. Mc-Donald hears often from men concerned about their having an elevated PSA level. When merited, he continues to use PSA screening, traditional digital rectal exams and traditional diagnostic tools in the early detection of prostate cancer.

When 7-year-old Kaylee Fowler had a hard time learning to ride a bike, her parents called it the “Bal-lantine Curse,” referring to her mother’s maiden name sake and their familial lack of coordina-tion.

Kaylee was reading at a high school level, using words and phrases that mimic educated adult level conversation, and using them in context. That was the upswing of signs that Kaylee was different.

Anxiety, meltdowns, extreme sensitivity and challenges identi-

fying with other kids were more signs that something about Kaylee was very different than most 7-year-olds. Her father, John Fowler, explains the process of diagnos-ing Kaylee as “pretty straight for-ward.”

Kaylee was diagnosed with As-perger Syndrome after one visit with an autism specialist. A treat-ment plan of medication and be-havior modifications in the fam-ily have resulted in a thriving and purposeful 9-year-old Kaylee.

Kaylee’s symptoms surfaced at an age where should could com-municate, but not all children who have autism develop that fully be-

fore signs start becoming relevant to their health.

The following “red flags” may indicate your child is at risk for an autism spectrum disorder:

•No big smiles or other warm, joyful expressions by six months or thereafter.

•No back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles or other facial ex-pressions by nine months.

•No babbling by 12 months. •No back-and-forth gestures

such as pointing, showing, reach-ing or waving by 12 months.

•No words by 16 months. •No meaningful, two-word

phrases (not including imitating

or repeating) by 24 months •Any loss of speech, babbling or

social skills at any age.On Sept. 17 from 6-9 p.m.,

The Corkscrew wine and piano lounge, 1308 W.20th St., will host a fundraiser, “A Rockin’ Night for Autism” for Kaylee’s team “God’s Little Lambs,” the annual Au-tismSpeaks Walk.

The suggested donation of $35 includes two cocktails, wine or Karbach beer, all you can eat, and entertainment by Nick Greer & The G’s. Tickets can be purchased at www.corkscrewhouston.com

Neighbors: Garden Oaks’ Raborn just one shy of 100

When it comes to strutting, you have to admit that no creature can strut better than a cat. Graceful and self-confi dent, my strut is the stuff of legend. However, if you wanted to show off you (and your dog’s) strut, sashay yourself down to T.C. Jester park (4201 T.C. Jester Blvd. 77018) for the Best Friend’s Animal Society’s “Strut Your Mutt” walk and festival on Sept. 21. The donations raised through Strut Your Mutt will be used to fund lifesaving adoption programs and spay/neuter services, to ultimately impact the number of pets enter-ing and leaving the shelters.

Emceed by KTRK-TV meteo-rologist Casey Curry, Strut Your Mutt promises to be a leisurely group dog walk, followed by a dog-themed celebration festival that includes booths, contests, demonstrations, entertainment, refreshments and more.

If you’re feeling particularly cre-ative, plan to dress yourself and your pet up for the pet and owner costume contest. Winners will re-ceive gift cards to PetsMart. Free pizza will be provided by Cali-fornia Pizza Kitchen, so bring the whole family and plan to enjoy a celebration of our mutts! You may register online at: www.strutyour-mutt.org/houston or show up at 7 a.m. on Saturday to register before the race begins at 8:30 a.m.

Running For HomeHow about a practice run before

the Strut Your Mutt event? Head over to Memorial Park on Sept.

14 from 7:30 a.m.-noon to hang out with some adoptable pooch-es from Friends For Life who are looking very forward to going on a run or walk with you. Take a sweet pup for a test drive, and see how he or she handles on the famous run-ning trails around Memorial Park. You just might end up with a new friend to take to Strut Your Mutt!

Furry Heads UpWhatever you do, don’t miss

the boat on the Dock Dogs dog jumping competition at Discovery Green the weekend of Sept. 27-29. This totally free, three-day, nation-al tour dog jumping competition makes a stop at Discovery Green. It will feature four-legged athletes across Texas, Oklahoma and Loui-siana in diverse jumping competi-tions, including a high-jump and long-jump off a 20-foot dock into a 40-foot pool of water on the Jones Lawn. Excellent vendors will be on hand to provide education and refreshments.

Since his freshman year at Rea-gan High, Gewhite Stallworth had always heard from people that he looked imposing coming off the bus.

But that wasn’t enough for the Bulldogs senior offensive lineman.

At 6-foot-9, he knew he had the potential to be a serious Division I college prospect, but it would take some work and discipline on his part.

“I used to just go home and eat everything in the refrigerator,” said Stallworth, who slimmed down from 375 pounds to 325 during the offseason. “I lost a bunch of fat and gained a lot of musicle. I cut out all of the sodas and candy and took all of toxins out of my body. I’ve been drinking nothing but water the past two months. I’m benching 315 now, and before I used to put up 235.”

The lifestyle choice has paid off for Stallworth, 17, who has re-ceived a scholarship offer from La-mar University and attention from programs such as Arizona, Florida Atlantic and UT-San Antonio (UTSA).

“The light has clicked on for that young man,” Reagan head football coach Stephen Dixon said. “Every college in the country should of-fer him a scholarship now. In my eyes, he’s one of the top five offensive linemen in Texas.”

Reagan (1-1) hosts de-fending 4A-21 champion North Forest in both teams’ district opener game at 6 p.m. Saturday at Dyer Field.

Stallworth has been on varsity since his freshman year and start-ed since he was a sophomore.

“I like run blocking,” Stallworth

said. “I can go down the field and hit people.”

A native of Beatrice, Ala., Stall-worth would love to play for his home state university, the two-

time defending national champi-on, University of Alabama.

He’s also been impressed by UTSA, a relatively new football

program that’s expressed a lot of interest in him.

Because of his height, Stallworth often gets asked if he plays basket-ball. He hasn’t played organized basketball yet, but he plans on playing for the Bulldogs this win-ter. Last season, Reagan reached the second round of the UIL Class 4A playoffs.

“I’m probably going to play this year to get my feet right and drop a little weight,” said Stallworth, who would like to enter college between 295 and 300 pounds.

As a leader on the team, Stall-worth hopes to guide Reagan to its first district championship since the 1950s.

“I believe we can go to state,” Stallworth said.

When Waltrip High defensive back Salvador Zuniga went from a starting position to a backup role, the 5-foot-6, 130-pound se-nior felt that he had something to prove.

And that’s exactly what he did.Zuniga intercepted two passes

-- both in the fourth quarter of the Rams’ 32-31 loss to Pasadena High in Waltrip’s season opener on Sept. 5 at Delmar-Tusa Sta-dium.

The interceptions were the third and fourth, respectively, of Zuniga’s career. He intercepted two passes in a victory over Lee High last season.

The Rams (0-1) will open 4A-21 competition at 6 p.m. Saturday against Sharpstown at Delmar-Tusa.

Among other responsibilities, Zuniga will help defend Apollos wide receiver Roderick Bernard, a University of Texas commit.

Describe the fourth quarter in-terceptions against Class 5A Pasa-dena.

“It was amazing. I saw the quarterback underthrew the ball, so I came back and picked it off, both times.”

Q: What other sports do you play?

“Junior varsity basketball and varsity track. In track, I run the 100, 200 and 400. It helps me be-come faster.”

Q: What do you like about playing for Waltrip?

“Being with my friends and interacting with the coaches. They’re like a family to me.”

Q: What are your plans for the future?

“Go to college and play for any college that wants me. I’d like to study health and medicine and become a doctor.”

Q: How will the loss in the season opener affect the rest of the season?

“I think we have to pull through this and keep working hard. We can’t let it faze us.”

Q: Being a Dallas Cowboys fan in Houston isn’t very pop-ular, but you’re proud to call them your favorite team.

“I was introduced to the Cow-boys by my father when I was 3. From there, I’ve loved the Cow-boys my whole life. My favorite player is (cornerback) Morris Claiborne.”

��Waltrip High volleyball team

learning on the go this fallThe Waltrip High volleyball

team is learning to compete at the varsity level.

Last season, the Lady Rams fin-ished second to Reagan in Class 4A-District 21 and graduated all of their starters and returned just three letter winners -- seniors Da-kota Gafford, Destiny Nolley and Karli Delaney.

That provided an opportunity for many of the players from last season’s Junior Varsity squad, which shared the district title with Reagan and Milby.

“The pace of the game is much faster,” said sophomore Sophia Es-pinosa. “We have good chemistry together, we get along well, and we know how to play well together.”

Espinosa tore a ligament in her hand and will miss 2-5 weeks. Lisa Lopez recently returned to the team after recovering from a pulled tendon in her ankle.

Waltrip head volleyball coach Darcy Ruffino, a 1991 WHS grad-uate, has guided the Lady Rams to 16 district championships in 17 seasons.

“This year will be a little bit interesting,” Ruffino said. “The whole 4A-21 district is competi-tive with Austin, Davis and Rea-gan. All of them are pretty even. It could go either way.”

Waltrip defeated Reagan, who swept them last season, last month in the Spring Branch Tourna-ment.

“We’re really good at communi-cation and working together,” Ruf-fino said. “We’re a small team. We don’t have a lot of height. Every-body’s playing well, but we have several injuries.”

However, Waltrip is 2-2 in 4A-21 matches. They’ll face Wheatley at 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 18 at Barnett Fieldhouse and compete in the Houston ISD Tournament, begin-ning on Sept. 26.

Despite the challenges facing the

team, Ruffino said they’ll respond by playing beyond district play. The top four teams in the district advance to the postseason.

“We have to play smarter with

more confidence in ourselves,” Ruffino said. “We’ll make the play-offs for sure. It’s nice to have com-petitiveness. It gets you prepared for the playoffs.
