Agrees with: A Great Idea for Westlake by Ralph R. Waggener Says hospital should provide care for everybody, with payment from each according to what they can pay By Billy Joe Fudge Personal commentary That's right Ralph. We the people need to buy the hospital, hire an adminstrator, develop a plan, forget about medicare and medicaid, accept and provide medical care to every person who walks in the door, and demand payment from every person who receives treatment according to what they can pay (be it $5,000 a month, $500 per month or $5 per month). Since all the Doctors, medical facilities, and hospital facilities say they are losing money on medicare patients anyway, this would get them into black ink immediately. - Billly Joe Fudge Comments re article 53388 What a great idea WRH the best value hospital in the nation 2012-07-29 21:35:55 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Old fashion baptizing held at Sulphur Creek today, July 29, 2012 Click on headline for story and photo(s) By Fran Neat A baptizing service was held at Sulphur Creek Rd., Sunday, July 29, 2012 at 12pm noon CT, by the Millerfield Brethren in Christ Church. Three young people were baptized into Christ, Brandon Garland, Toby Green and Trista Willis. Praise the Lord! The service was conducted by Rev. Richard Lehman of Millerfield Brethren in Christ along with Bro. Willard Bryant. The event, with almost 50 people in attendance, many with a "balcony" view from above along the rail of the bridge, others gathering closer up on the creekbank, brought back many thoughts of how things used to be - like a stroll down memory lane. - Fran Neat 2012-07-29 21:23:00 | Comments | Printable version

Letter: CMS will be paying hospitals on a Value-Based formula It's similar to what was outlined in article by Ralph Roy Waggener, writer says Cheryl Wall writes: Ralph is actually pretty close to describing what is called Value-Based Purchasing. Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services, otherwise known as CMS, will soon be paying each and every hospital based on the quality of care instead of the quantity of services that a patient receives during treatment. CMS is restructuring the payment system based on "quality of care." This information is available on CMS website or you can Google "value-based purchasing." Payments from CMS will be based 70% on quality of care and 30% on HCAPHS, which are patient satisfaction surveys.Try CMS website or google "Value-Based Purchasing" to read more. - Cheryl WallComments re article 53388 What a great idea WRH the best value hospital in the nation 2012-07-29 17:29:43 | Comments | Printable version
Proposes three to replace present hospital board Now we know what we do not want to happen again, she says Sheila Wood writes: I think You (Ralph Roy Waggener), Joe Hare and Vicky Pike should be on the hospital board. The three of you seem to have such a common sense style of thinking about the local hospital. Something has to give and I do not think the taxpaying citizens of Columbia should have to foot the whole bill. I do believe we should help the hospital, but keep in mind we knew the hospital was having issues way before this came to light. So now there is a big red flag of what we do not want to happen again. Just my thoughts on the matter. - Sheila WoodComments re article 53388 What a great idea WRH the best value hospital in the nation by Ralph Roy Waggener 2012-07-29 16:34:48 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

What a great idea!: WRH, the best value hospital in the nation? A lot of What If's - including What if it strived to give good service without bankrupting families when a member had to use the emergency room? . . . I know this just a pipe dream of mine, but ain't it a good one? Ralph Waggener asks. Or is it really just a pipe dream? If the leadership of the community mans up, faces reality, fires those who are failing so miserably, and takes the necessary action to save Westlake - for the community? -EW By Ralph Roy Waggener Commentary from the editor of It's Just for A Smile News After writing about Westlake Regional Hospital it got me to thinking.

Kentucky Color - Trumpet Vine Feast Click on headline for Kentucky Color w/photo(s) By Billy Joe Fudge Trumpet Vine is well known in many circles as Hummingbird Vine. That name is well deserved for it seems to bloom much of the summer and provide nectar for hummingbirds which visit its bright, orange flowers hour after hour, day after day. However, the fruit sweats a sweetish, saltish concoction which flies and bees of all sorts are continually harvesting. Each individual is fighting for space and sometimes the fight turns deadly when smaller Sweat Bees become part of the harvest, as evidenced in the photo, to wind up in the wasps nest for sustenance for their babies in the larvae stage. - Billy Joe Fudge 2012-07-29 10:34:09 | Comments | Printable version

Are they no longer functional? --Leshia FairThanks, Leisha Fair Good question. Just from memory, I think they just need significant repairs. Over the past six or seven decades the clocks have been maintained only when dedicated people like Joe Moore and the late Carl Hutchison had time to keep them going.
