As the indoor archery season winds up, the team traveled to the US Indoor Nationals and JOAD Nationals February 22 and 23. We are still waiting for the final national compilation of results from all of the sites. However, in the JOAD nationals at the Georgia site, Rachel Roberson earned a bronze medal following her Georgia state championship the previous weekend. Phil Burney came in 4th in his division, and Rick Burney 5th. In the US Indoor Nationals for the Georgia site, Rick Burney came in 5th in his division, while Phil Burney and Coaches Jim Vennera and Steve Burney all came in 4th in their divisions. It was an exciting weekend since the team was able to shoot with some of the best archers in the world, including current US Olympic team member Jake Kaminski, Para-Olympic team member Lee Ford, former Polish Olympic team member Elzbieta Tworek, and professional archer Roger Willett. The main highlight of the season was the trip to Barefoot Archery in Charlotte for the NC State Indoor JOAD Championship on March 9. The team had 4 archers participate and had unprecedented success with all 4 winning the gold medal and title of State Champion in their division. Rachel Roberson won the girls 12 and under recurve division with a score of 439 out of 600. Josh Streacker won the boys 12 and under recurve division with a score of 376. The Burney twins each won their division for boys 13-14 with Rick scoring 558 with his compound bow and Phil scoring 545 with his recurve bow. It was an especially fun victory for the boys since the day of the tournament was their 14th birthday and they were able to celebrate with their teammates in the parking lot during the break with delicious homemade chocolate cupcakes baked by their grandmother. The coaches are especially proud of their team since Phil and Rick have been shooting for less than 2 years, and Josh and Rachel have been shooting for less than a year- yet all 4 were able to out-shoot kids with more experience in the tournaments they attended. Coach Vennera attributes their success to hard work, diligent practice, and paying attention when he tries to correct their form so they can learn to identify problems with their shot for themselves during tournaments and correct it. Coach Vennera's motto is the more the merrier and we are always willing to add new members to our team. Now that the days are getting longer (and warmer) we will be moving outdoors and preparing for outdoor tournaments. The JOAD club is for kids 8-20 years old and meets from 7-8pm on Thursdays on the ball field at the Green Creek Community Center. Adults are welcome and encouraged to attend and are invited to shoot on Tuesday evenings from 7-8pm. For information, contact Steve at Medicap Pharmacy in Columbus, 828-894-6112.

March is Social Work Month The 2014 Social Work Month theme "All People Matter" is one that is followed year-round by social workers at Hospice of Rutherford County. "Social workers do a variety of things, depending upon the setting," said Joey Revis, Social Work coordinator for Hospice of Rutherford County. "Social workers are often advocating, supporting and protecting vulnerable people, assisting to heal trauma, innovating new programs and mobilizing neighborhoods." In the hospice setting, he continued, social workers focus on the needs that cannot be met solely through medical intervention, addressing the hospice family's needs as well as those of the patient. "When we go into the patient's home, we try to learn how they want us to serve, to explore ways to address concerns taking into account their values and beliefs," Revis explained. Social workers can open the door to conversations and address concerns a hospice patient's family may be having but don't know how to discuss. "We are really trying to assess how well they (the family) are coping and to explore options for increasing their sense of well-being," Revis said. "Together with the family, we develop a plan which includes specific goals and interventions to address the identified needs." For example, if there is a concern about a patient falling when getting into or out of bed, the social worker would help connect the family to community resources which could provide a hospital or lift bed. Social workers also help hospice patients to consider their treatment preferences, to understand code status, and learn about advance directives, such as The Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney documents. These, he said, allow patients control of their care. "It's easy to honor a patient's wishes when they can talk," he explained. "But when they can't, someone else will be making those decisions, and it may be someone who isn't familiar with what the patient truly wants." As a patient declines, social workers spend time counseling with the family to help them adjust to the changing roles. "We really listen to what the family is saying to help identify the feeling behind it – we are really trying to pinpoint their emotion," Revis said. The hospice social worker is just one member of a team of providers for patients and their families. This team also includes nurses, nursing assistants, chaplains, bereavement counselors, volunteers and a hospice physician. Hospice of Rutherford County strives to provide state-of-the-art, compassionate care for those affected by serious illness, grief and loss.
