At the intersection of 25/70 & Jupiter Road 16 THE TRIBUNE - May 27 - June 2, 2010
Certified Risk Managers In-
ternational recently conferred the designation of Certified Risk Manager (CRM) on a select num- ber of individuals who completed the rigorous five-course program. Patty Chakales of Brank Insurance in Weaverville was one of this elite group of risk management profes- sionals. Certified Risk Managers Inter-
national is a nonprofit organiza- tion founded by Te National Al- liance for Insurance Education & Research, nationally recognized as the premier source of insurance and risk management education. To attain the CRM designation, Chakales completed all five cours- es in the program and passed ex-
tensive examinations in each of the following subject areas: Principles of Risk Management, Analysis of Risk, Control of Risk, Financing of Risk, and Practice of Risk Man- agement. Te CRM program fea- tures practical, “hands-on” course content, designed to be applied immediately to the risk manager’s daily work. Since 1998, Patty has been one
of the owners of Brank Insurance Agency.
In addition to the CRM
designation, Patty holds a CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor) and a CISR (Certified Insurance Service Representative) designa- tion.
Tis special to the Tribune.

Ticks
starting to appear in WNC as they do every spring. Besides being bothersome by attach- ing to us and to our pet’s skin and feeding on blood, they also represent a real and potential- ly life-threatening health risk. Ticks can infect people and pets with several different serious diseases. The most common of these diseases in our region is Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). RMSF causes a fever, lethargy, pain and many other possible symptoms. RMSF is potentially fatal but is quite treatable if caught early and is preventable through avoiding tick bites. The best way to protect your dog or cat from ticks and diseases they carry is to decrease their chances of being bit by using products such as Frontline. Be aware that there are many products out there that claim to offer tick protection but are not particularly effective and may not be safe, especially for cats. Ask your veterinarian for advice on the right protection for your pet.
