From bagpipes to bongosCommunity Chorus concert Dec. 11by Barbara Tilly

The sounds of the nationally recognized City of Greenville Pipes and Drums will fill the Polk County High School auditorium during the Community Chorus Christmas concert on Sunday, Dec. 11 at 3 p.m. Wearing colorful Scottish costumes, the group will present “Highland Cathedral” and “Scot-land the Brave.”

In another Celtic seasonal se-lection, Landrum resident Kevin Brode and his Great Highlands bag-pipe will be a featured soloist. The Scottish carol “Welcome the Star” combines the full chorus, piano and

bagpipe. Brode has more than a decade of pipe training and has entertained on numerous occa-sions locally.

The chorus will also present a Calypso carol with help from Cindy Gilbert on percussion, a German rendering of “Stille Nacht” and the familiar Ukrainian “Carol of the Bells.”

“‘Twas in the Moon of Winter-time,” based on a Huron carol and arranged by chorus director Mark Schweizer, will feature Bob Child on Native American flutes. Child has appeared on many stages in the community with his teachings on the making and playing of Na-tive American wooden flutes.

Judge appoints Hyder Polk County Clerk of Superior Courtby Leah Justice

Polk County Chief Superior Court Judge Mark Powell offi-cially appointed Pam Hyder as Polk County Clerk of Superior Court.

Hyder will take over the position on Jan. 1, 2012 after current clerk of court Char-lene Owens retires effective Dec. 31.

The Polk County Demo-cratic Executive Committee made the recommendation for Hyder to take over the clerk of court position in November. Judge Powell considered the nomination and agreed, making it official last Friday, Dec. 2.

Hyder will serve as clerk of court until next year’s elec-tion, when she will have to be re-elected to retain the title. Owens’ term is not up until 2014, so whoever is elected in November 2012 will have

pam hyder

to run again in 2014 to retain a four-year seat.

O w e n s worked in the clerk’s office for almost 35 years , begin-ning in 1977 as a deputy clerk under then clerk of court Judy Arledge. Owens was elected to clerk of court after Arledge retired in 1998. Owens has since been elected to three four-year terms.

The following is a list of clerk of court duties according to the N.C. Court System:

The voters of each county elect the clerk of superior court for four-year terms. Clerks are paid by the state with their salaries scaled depending on

the population of their counties.

The clerk is responsible for all clerical and record-keeping functions of the superior and dis-trict court. The clerk also has numerous judi-cial functions, including serv-ing as probate judge for wills

and the administration of es-tates and decedents, minors and incompetents. The clerk also hears a variety of special proceedings such as adoptions, incompetency determinations and partitions of land and is empowered to issue arrest and search warrants and to exercise the same powers as a magistrate with respect to taking pleas of

guilty to minor littering, traffic, wildlife, boating, marine fisher-ies, alcoholic beverage, state park recreation and worthless check offenses.

Each clerk has a number of assistants and deputies. The number of assistants and deputies that each clerk may employ varies from county to county depending on the volume of business. Assistant and deputy clerks are paid on a salary schedule fixed by the N.C. Administrative Office of the Courts that is based on education and years of service in the clerk’s office; the maxi-mum and minimum salaries within that scale are fixed by the General Assembly.

Filing for the clerk of court and other county elected posi-tions, including three open commissioner seats begins on Feb. 13, 2012.

Polk chosen to receive funds for emergency food, shelter

Polk County has been chosen to receive $2,800 in federal funds to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county.

The selection was made by a national board chaired by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; Na-tional Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA; The Sal-vation Army; United Jewish Communities and United Way of America.

A local board of community members was charged to dis-tribute the funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.

This board will determine how the funds awarded to Polk County will be distributed among the programs run by local service organizations in the area. The local board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds avail-able through this program.

Under the terms of the grant

from the National Board, lo-cal agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private, vol-untary nonprofits or units of government; 2) have an ac-counting system; 3) practice nondiscrimination; 4) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs; and 5) if they are a private voluntary organiza-tion, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying organizations are urged to apply.

Emergency food and shel-ter funds for Polk County are administered by Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry. These funds are available to all agencies for assistance with housing, utili-ties, food, emergency shelter and other crisis emergency needs.

Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for emergency food and shelter program funds must contact Carol Newton, executive di-rector, Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry at 134 White Drive, Columbus, N.C. 28722, or by telephone at 828-894-2988. The deadline for application is Friday, Dec. 16.

Sheriff seeks answers in potential animal cruelty caseby Samantha Hurst

Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill said his department has not stopped investigating a case in which a Columbus family believes their dog was shot in the mouth with an arrow.

“If I can prove this was intentionally done I have no problem going after somebody and putting somebody in jail,” Hill said.

The sheriff said many ques-tions have been raised in the case of the Lupo family’s dog, Baron, with few answers.

According to a follow up report, the arrow was lodged in the soft tissue of the dog’s cheek, not in its throat. The dog also suffered hypothermia, which the state veterinary of-fice said could have also been caused by eating spoiled meat.

In canines, eating spoiled meat can cause botulism and in turn hypothermia, Hill said his office was told.

The sheriff’s office planned to seek a second vet’s opinion Thursday, Dec. 8.

Sheriff’s officers also have questions about the arrow, which was a blunt tip arrow, not the typical broad tip arrow hunters use, and was made out of fiberglass.

“The victims I feel so sorry for, I really do. But we don’t have a definite answer as to how this happened,” Hill said. “We just still don’t know.”

Sheriff Hill has placed a de-tective on the incident because, if determined to be intentional, this would be a felony case.

So far officers looking into the incident have interviewed neighbors and searched open fields for any further evidence that might lead to a better un-derstanding of how this dog died. The dog was cremated before the sheriff’s office could get any further into the inves-tigation.

“We haven’t stopped [inves-

tigating],” Hill said. Hill said animal control

officer Michael Herman has been on vacation, but he has put Lt. Michael Capps on the case. Hill said follow-up on such cases must often go to a separate investigating officer because Herman serves as a ci-vilian, not a sworn officer. This also happens because serving a county of 20,000 people as just one animal control officer can become overwhelming, Hill said.

BLET or Basic Law En-forcement Training meanwhile does not cover animal cruelty law. So the officers with more enforcement power than Her-man do not have the knowledge Herman possesses, Hill said.

The sheriff said he also wor-ries about exposing his depu-ties to potentially rabid animals when they have not been vac-cinated. It costs around $1,000 for a single individual to be vaccinated for rabies, he said.

Hill said he has approached the county commission several times about hiring an additional officer to assist with animal control. During this past bud-geting process, Hill proposed hiring a part-time person, but the request was denied.

There were two full-time sworn officers working animal control five years ago, Hill said. But the past sheriff eliminated those positions, leaving Hill with just one control officer.

Hill said regardless of man-power, they are doing whatever they can to find out what hap-pened to the Lupo’s dog. Hill even plans to offer a reward to entice someone to come for-ward with more information.

He said the department is also looking into a separate case in which a family that lives near the county line says their dog was shot with a bul-let 100 yards from their front door.

N.C. economist: slow recovery continues in 2012

North Carolina’s economy will grow a little more in 2012 than it did this year, although the recov-ery will remain slow, according to U.N.C.-Charlotte economist John Connaughton.

Following growth of 1.3 per-cent this year, the economy will ex-pand by 1.7 percent next year, said Connaughton. The growth, still well below the 3.2 percent growth rate seen in 2010, is expected to provide a net gain of about 38,000 jobs in the state next year, up from 22,500 this year. While that would be a net gain of 60,500 jobs in two years, it would still leave the state far short of making up the estimated 323,000 jobs lost in the state during the re-cession.

“After experiencing a modest recovery in 2010, the North Caro-lina economy has suffered through a disappointing first half of 2011,” said Connaughton.

The UNC Charlotte profes-sor of financial economics said concerns about the European debt crisis and the U.S. debt ceiling crisis caused a decline in consumer confidence. He added the banking system continues to hold “enor-mous excess reserves,” which is restricting lending and “negating the impact of the Federal Reserve Bank’s monetary policy.”

For 2012, Connaughton said he expects 11 of the state’s economic sectors will see output increases, led by business and professional services, finance, insurance and real estate, wholesale trade, and information. The UNC-Charlotte professor said he expects again there will be only eight economic sectors in the state with employ-ment increases, including hospital-ity and leisure, government and education and health services.

The job gains in 2012 will represent an employment increase of about 1 percent, said Con-naughton.

– source: www.belkcollege.uncc.edu, 12/6/11

***South Carolina may see a

greater employment increase in 2012 than its northern neighbor, according to economists at the University of South Carolina. Pro-fessors Douglas Woodward and Joey Von Nessen presented a 2012 economic forecast that predicts an employment increase of 2 percent, double the one percent employ-ment growth seen this year.

According to the forecast, manufacturing, especially for

durable goods, will lead the employment gains, followed by business and health services. Construction

activity is expected to drop slight-ly early next year, but then pick up through the rest of the year.

Von Nessen said the job gains next year won’t necessarily lower the state’s unemployment rate. As the job market improves, he said, it will draw more people back to the workforce who left because of a lack of employment opportunities.

Although the state is on course for another positive year of growth and recovery, Von Nessen said the economy remains “very delicate,” and could be impacted by the European debt crisis, an uncertain stock market and the U.S. presi-dential election.

Spartanburg County could see a larger role in job growth in the coming year. The county has received commitments from com-panies planning to invest about $300 million and create hundreds of new jobs in the coming years. The county is finalizing an incen-tives package for Amazon, which plans to open a new $50 million distribution facility with 390 full-time jobs.

North Carolina has not seen job growth in the construction industry over the past year, ac-cording to an analysis by the As-sociated General Contractors of America. The organization said North Carolina lost about 4,700 construction jobs between Octo-ber 2010 and October 2011, a de-cline of about 3 percent. The state had 174,300 construction jobs in October, down from 179,000 in October 2010.

T h e R a -leigh-Cary and Winston-Salem met ro a reas were the only markets that saw an increase in construction employment. Con-struction jobs increased 3 percent in Winston-Salem and 1 percent in Raleigh-Cary, while they declined 2 percent in Charlotte.

Ken Simonson, the associa-tion’s chief economist, said a decline in federal investments in infrastructure projects, including highway and transit work, was slowing growth for construction jobs.

“If it wasn’t for a slight in-crease in private sector demand, construction employment would be down in even more communi-ties,” said Simonson.

***The Asheville area is seeing a

building boom for new apart-ments. While demand remains low for new single-family houses, construction is under way for more than 800 new apartment units in Buncombe County, and last week Asheville City Council approved a new 312-unit apart-ment complex.

Lesley Groetsch, manager of At The Lofts of Reynolds Village in Woodfin, said she doesn’t see demand easing for apartments

as long as banks maintain their current lending restrictions. She said it’s currently hard to find an apartment in Asheville.

Some of the current projects were launched as condos, but the developers switched to apart-ments when the real estate market declined. Tom Leslie of Leslie & Associates said occupancy has remained high for the 1,300 apart-ment units his company manages. He said he is seeing more young professionals renting apartments rather than buying a home or condo.

***Public ice skating and rec-

reational hockey will return to Asheville next year. The Crowne Plaza Resort said it plans to begin construction

soon on a 28,000-square-foot building for an ice rink. The rink will be run by the Asheville Hockey League, which already bought the ice rink, boards and refrigeration equipment from the City of Asheville earlier this year.

The city has not had a public rink since 2008 when a recre-ational hockey league was active at the Civic Center with more than 200 players. The new facility will be used for both adult and youth hockey leagues, public skating and figure skating.

“The facility is going to be right next to the Asheville Rac-quet Club on a piece of land right here,” said Angela Beattie, re-gional director of sales and market at Crowne Plaza Resort. “We’ll be able to host tournaments, and we hope to really boost our busi-ness in the offseason, November through March. We’re excited about having something else for people to do here in town.”

An agreement between the city and the Asheville Hockey League requires that the rink be available for public skating “on the weekends for at least 60 percent of the time while the ice rink is

***Pullen Memorial Baptist

Church in Raleigh voted last month to prohibit the church pastor from legally marrying anyone until the state allows same-sex marriages. T h e c h u r c h members said current North Carolina law, and a proposed amendment to the state constitution, discrimi-nate against same-sex couples “by denying them the rights and privileges enjoyed by heterosexual married couples.”

A statement issued by the church said, “As a people of faith, affirming the Christian teaching that before God all people are equal, we will no longer partici-pate in this discrimination.”

The vote in the church was unanimous and brought tears to the eyes of some who voted in favor of the “statement on mar-riage ceremonies.” The church’s pastor, Nancy Petty, was among them. Petty, a lesbian, told the congregants this past summer that signing legal marriage certificates to wed heterosexual couples, but not doing the same for ho-mosexual couples had become a burden on her conscience. She said the church’s decision to stop legal marriages was more than she expected.

The church now plans to per-form marriage ceremonies that will be holy unions reflecting “the spiritual nature of the solemn com-mitments between two people in a loving relationship.” The pastor will not sign a state certificate for a legal marriage.

Pullen Memorial Baptist Church has a history of involve-

ment in social and political issues. The church, which has about 650 members and sits close to N.C. State University, was kicked out of the Southern Baptist Conven-tion in 1992 after deciding to bless gay marriages.

***A new debate over North

Carolina’s death penalty law is taking shape. A coalition of religious leaders has begun col-lecting petitions and resolutions of support to end the law, but Re-publican lawmakers in the state are voicing their support for the

death penalty. The lawmak-ers repealed t h e R a c i a l Justice Act, a 2009 law that lets state judg-

es consider statistical evidence when reviewing whether race was a key factor in the prosecu-tion’s decision to seek the death penalty.

The religious leaders, who met recently at Martin Street Baptist Church in Raleigh to an-nounce their plan for opposing the law, said removing the death penalty would save the state millions of dollars and eliminate the potential for executions of innocent people.

Rev. Frank Dew, pastor of New Creation Community Pres-byterian Church in Greensboro, said he knows the religious lead-ers will face strong resistance in the Republican-controlled General Assembly.

“I’m not sure it’s a good time, but I’m not sure there’s ever been a good time,” said Dew. “But it’s the right time.’

North Carolina has not had an execution since 2006 when the death penalty was suspended due to a series of lawsuits challenging the law. Despite the suspension, capital trials have continued since then in the state. In the past four years, there have been 49 capital defendants in the state, and nine were sentenced to death.

cut up turkeys, wrap gifts and set up the din-ning room on the “prep” day, Friday Dec. 23 from noon to

3pm.On Christmas day they’ll

need volunteers to help serve, wash dishes, help clean and a few people with good kitchen skills to help prepare food.

‘Far Wood’ – Uneducated seller or marketing genius?

“i’m Just saying…”

by Pam Stone

Heading back from Green Creek on a rainy and raw No-vember afternoon, I glimpsed a parked truck filled with split oak on the side of the road with a professionally lettered sign attached to the rear which read, or at least I thought read through the windshield wipers,

“FAR WOOD”Below, if a potential cus-

tomer was interested, was the owner’s name, Darrell, and his number.

I couldn’t help noticing the parking lot in which this truck squatted sold tires, or, as I thought they should now be called:

“TARS.”Naturally, Darrell’s sign was

promptly recorded and uploaded onto my Facebook page and sev-eral people had a good laugh and many even knew of him.

When I emailed the photo to

friends from other parts of the country and, actually, world, the reaction was completely different.

“This isn’t serious, right?” replied one.

“Now I un-derstand that whole, ‘Deliv-erance’ thing,” said another.

“Exactly how bad is the southern public school system?” chided another.

That sort of irked me.It’s the old refrain: if you

sound southern, you must be uneducated. Ignorant.

Ahem. If I may point out the following:

Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar. Jimmy Carter gradu-ated near the top of his class at Annapolis. Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Billy Graham~ not ex-

actly idiots. We just tend to drawl because, well, not because we’re lazy or stupid, it’s just so damned humid here most of

the time. Even my dog barks in two syllables.

But there’s s o m e t h i n g about the drawl that makes peo-ple smirch. And

what I don’t understand is why those with English accents, particularly the very upper class English accents, are considered terribly intelligent. Because, really, how different is the pro-nunciation of several words?

An English woman, teacup raised to carefully blotted lips, might say, “I hear you’ve fin-ished all your Christmas shop-ping! Isn’t that just su-pah?”

“Mmm-hmm,” you’d say. “And I got some supah deals,

too.”Continuing, the English

woman might ask, “And I un-derstand your father sells lum-bah?”

“Yep,” you might reply. “He has his own sawmill. Sells a lot of lumbah. For fence rails, posts...”

Even FAR.But go ahead and think Dar-

rell’s stupid if you want. Frankly, I think he’s a marketing genius. Who’s not going to stop and take a photo of his truck? Who’s not going to tell everyone they meet about that sign they saw in the boonies and bring back all their buddies, with empty truck beds to fill, to show?

And may I just add that, with Christmas in mind, even The three Wise Men, I think, must have been southern.

Surely you remember where they came from?

Diet & exercise by David Crocker

Learn to conquer cellulite safely and effectively

Being a personal trainer and nutritionist, one subject that comes up quite often with new clients is, “How can I make my cellulite go away?”

That’s a touchy subject, be-cause not only do 90 percent of all women get some degree of cellulite, they sometimes don’t know how to get rid of it.

First let’s go over what cel-lulite is exactly. And by the way ... some men get it too. Actually cellulite is plain old body fat. So, why does cellulite have a somewhat “dimpled” appear-ance?

The reason is the body fat is compartmen-talized by con-nective tissue in the deep layers of the skin. While everyone has connective tissue under their skin, men’s connective tissue tends to have horizontal patterns, which make it more difficult for fat to accumulate. Women’s con-nective tissues tend to have more of a “honeycomb” pattern. That allows fat to bulge out and give a dimpled affect.

There are also many oth-er variables that influence the amount of cellulite a person might have. These include gen-der, genetics, age and skin thick-ness.

The question is can you get rid of your cellulite? The answer is yes, but make no mistake, there are no quick fixes. I’ve had cli-ents lose significant amounts of cellulite, but it takes planning and effort.

First, let’s go over what doesn’t work. Stay away from creams aimed at reducing cellu-lite. If you read the label of these creams carefully, you’ll find that most of them only reduce the “appearance” of cellulite, because they just temporarily tighten skin.

Also, treatments like liposuc-tion are expensive, and can actu-ally be contraindicated, because

they are designed to remove deep body fat, not cellulite, which sits just below the skins surface. Beware of herbal extracts designed to reduce cellulite. There’s not much evidence that they actually work at all, and some can even be danger-ous, because they can interact with certain prescription drugs. What does work?

I use a combination of treat-ments with clients. First is a proper weight-training program. This is important for women and men for two reasons. First, for

every ounce of muscle you work, you burn extra calories 24 hours a day,

which means you burn fat 24 hours a say. Second, muscle that isn’t toned tends to sag, which makes the cellulite look even worse.

Aerobic exercise comes next. This helps you burn more calo-ries, and also, helps tone muscle. I also help clients design an in-dividualized eating program to help them lose even more excess body fat.

In fact, one Charlotte client lost 72 pounds of body fat with just simple changes to her diet. I also make sure all my people get proper rest. Remember, rest is the glue that ties everything in your fitness and nutritional program together.

Finally, make sure your sup-plement program supports you. While there are no supplements that in and of themselves get rid of cellulite, there are vitamins and minerals without which, cellulite would stay.

For example, vitamins C & E are necessary for red blood cell formation, and collagen produc-tion, both of which affect con-nective tissue below the skin’s surface. Without firm connective tissue, cellulite is much more apparent. Also, B vitamins are important, because without them

Humane society special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

Before I get into today’s case, there are a few little odds and ends I wish to tie up.

Rocker, a sweet lab Husky mix, whose heartworm treat-ment was handled by Lennie’s Fund, is well and off to a res-cue as soon as a ride becomes available.

Cynthia, the 1 5 - y e a r - o l d beagle with rotten teeth who was part of last week’s story, is strong and doing well. What-ever treatments necessary will be handled by Lennie’s Fund.

The old and frail lab-golden retriever mix who was loaded with tumors and could hardly move was quietly put to sleep. For three days she had the soft-est blankets, the plushest toys and the best, most tasty food we could find. It was a heart-warming experience to see her old tail slowly thump with any attention given her.

Please do not be sad – she left us in peace, comfort and dignity, a great victory to what the alternative could have been.

Jersey, the tiny 3-to-4-pound chihuahua who was rescued from a puppy mill, is also being supported by Lennie’s Fund; she may be next week’s story.

Sweet little Titan, the deaf and blind old chihuahua found dumped on the road, has been picked up by its owner. It seems he had been stolen and was

Huskies, chihuahuas, labs: Large and small, I love them alldumped when it was learned how old and disabled he was. God bless this caring owner.

By the way, we learned that Titan is 19 years old and it’s ob-vious he’s still very much loved

and cared for by his owner.

Now, let me introduce you to Jericho:

Jer icho i s a stunningly

beautiful chocolate lab who came to us as a stray the second week of October. He is approxi-mately 1½ years of age, sweet with people and cagemates and totally blind.

We’ve learned from vet-erinarians that he hasn’t any degenerative problems and his blindness was probably caused by humans, most likely through poison.

If you know me at all you’d know that I couldn’t help but give this boy as much attention as I could afford. I like to sit in his cage and speak softly with him as I stroke his body. Jericho gives off the low “mmmph” sound of contentment.

I’ll walk by his dog run and say, “Hey Jericho, Uncle Len-nie has a cookie,” and he’ll come over and press his nose to the gate as I slip a treat through to him. Jericho knows my voice, my smell and my touch, which by the way is exactly how your dog knows you.

Once he learns the param-

eters of his environment both inside and outside, you’d prob-ably soon forget that he is blind. Please come to FHS and give this poor, sweet, loving boy a chance.

Thanks for listening.

you can’t metabolize fat or syn-thesize protein to build muscle.

By properly using these tech-niques together in a program, you can significantly reduce the amount of cellulite you have at any age.

Tryon Running Club releases 2012 running event calendar

Cyclists and motorcycle en-thusiasts have always enjoyed the beautiful roadways through Tryon, Saluda, Columbus and Landrum, but in the last couple of years, it seems runners have taken over.

There is a growing grassroots

running community held together by the camaraderie of the Tryon Running Club — a club that members affectionately refer to as “just a Facebook page.” The Tryon

(Continued on page 29)Tryon Running Club members on a recent trail run. (photo submitted)

A29

Running Club is a social running group that meets regularly to walk or run scenic routes, as well as train for various regional races. All is free and all ages and abilities are welcome.

Running in the Thermal Belt is not a recent phenomenon. In the early 1980s, Tom Foster led the local running movement with the Polk County Striders. Now, almost 20 years later, the Tryon Running Club is continuing that tradition by encouraging friends and neighbors to get outside and get fit.

Last month, the Tryon Running Club hosted a meeting with local race directors to compile a 2012 racing event calendar for the Polk and Landrum communities. With the recent increase of running and cycling races, club members felt it was time to coordinate efforts so that all races—many of them charity events — could benefit from attendance by Tryon Running Club members.

This is the current roster of events for 2012. Some of these dates may be subject to change. For more information, please visit www.tryonrunners.blogspot.com or find the group on Facebook where members post daily moti-vational information, training runs and articles.

saluda News &

Notationsby Bonnie Bardos

Nikki Ammerman: A Saluda inspirationEditor’s note: The Bulletin

has asked Bonnie Bardos to help us enrich the paper by writing additional columns each week. So, on the weeks you normally would not read her regular Sa-luda News and Notations, you will now get to enjoy a personal profile on a Saluda resident or community organization. We hope you enjoy these articles as much as we know you do her regular columns.

Imagine changing your life from cigarette addiction and con-stant tiredness to flying planes and scuba diving instead! Saluda resident Nikki Ammerman did just that: a long-time smoker, busy mother of three (Kelly, captain at Saluda Volunteer Fire Department; Tiffany, a college student; and Garrett, a freshman at East Hen-derson High) she had a ‘wake-up’ call and hasn’t looked back.

Making life changes happened, she reaffirms, “Because I tried to quit smoking for 25 years and finally quit. I unlocked the key… which made me much happier.”

R e p l a c i n g smoking with swimming a t the YMCA, she saved money for scuba dive lessons which she never thought she could do. Then she signed up for a rescue recovery course. It was all therapy, and those cigarettes are a distant memory — in their place have been bucket list adventures, non-stop; flight lessons, scuba diving and blueberry farming. All on top of her six-day-a-week post office job!

How does she do it? Full of life and energy, Nikki

doesn’t stop. Born in England into a U.S. military family, she grew up traveling, but had deep local roots with her grandmother in Hendersonville, who served as a steady influence.

By 10th grade, Nikki moved in with her grandmother: a well-known artist who founded the

French Club and Arts League in Henderson-ville years ago, plus knew how to take care of injured birds, including owls.

“My grandmother was ev-erything” Nikki reminiscences, and she continues to live by her grandmother’s creed of “There’s nothing you can’t do. Just try it!”

Recently a long-time dream happened: flight lessons.

After a summer of selling tomatoes at the Saluda Tailgate Market, Nikki attended a Farm-To-Table Supper in Polk County, with a silent auction fundraiser. To make a long story short, to surprise

his mom, son Garrett ended up get-ting in a final bid on flight lessons.

After the first introductory les-son and steering the plane: Nikki was hooked.

“This is what I wanted to do all my life! It’s my soul. It’s just wow!” she joyously exclaimed.

She means it too. Blue eyes sparkle as she emphatically notes, “People are missing out — they’re waiting for the end of their life — I’m living my life! Do something. It’s out there. Lose the fear and do it.”

Her grandmother would be proud.

Thank you for reading this column! As ever, the goal is to make you, dear reader, feel like you’re enjoying a front porch visit with me (with colder weather here, we’ll have to move inside and find a cozy spot in the house for hot tea instead.). You can con-tact me at [email protected]; or 749-1153, visit my website at bonniebardos.com for more writing and art, or find me on facebook.

Booher to speak on spiritual economics at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Dec. 11

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. on Sunday, Dec. 11 at 10:30 a.m. The speaker will be Rever-end Rebecca Booher, who will speak on the topic, “Spiritual

Economics: An Oxymoron.” “The economy is in a sham-

bles,” Booher said. “Current efforts to restore it are a Bandaid approach at best. Maybe we need to return to an older vision, one in which the economy is more

aligned with our spiritual values than with those of Wall Street.”

Dear Savvy SeniorCan assistance dogs help se-

niors with physical limitations? My mother, who’s 60, has pro-gressive multiple sclerosis and I’m wondering if an assistance dog could help make her life a little easier.

Dog Loving Linda

Dear LindaFor people with disabilities

and certain medical conditions, assistant dogs can be fantastic help, not to mention they pro-vide great companionship and an invaluable sense of security. Here’s what you should know.

Assistance dogsWhile most people are fa-

miliar with guide dogs that help people who are blind or visually impaired, there are also a variety of assistance dogs trained to help people with physical disabilities, hearing loss and various medical conditions.

Unlike most pets, assistance dogs are highly trained canine specialists – usually golden and Labrador retrievers and German shepherds – that know approxi-mately 40 to 50 commands and are amazingly well-behaved and calm.

Here’s a breakdown of the different types of assistance dogs and what they can help with.

Service dogs: These dogs are specially trained to help people with physical disabilities due to multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, chronic arthritis and many other disabling conditions. They help by performing tasks their owners

cannot do or have trouble doing, like carrying or retrieving items, picking up dropped items, open-ing and closing doors, turning lights on and off, assisting with dressing and undressing and helping with balance, household chores and more.

Hearing dogs: For those who are deaf or hearing impaired, hearing dogs can alert their owner to specific sounds such as ringing telephones, doorbells, alarm clocks, microwave or oven timers, smoke alarms, approach-ing sirens, crying babies or when someone calls out their name.

Seizure alert and response dogs: For people with epilepsy or other seizure disorders, these dogs can recognize the signs that their owner is going to have a seizure, and provide them with advance warning, so he or she can get to a safe place or take medication to prevent the seizure or lessen its severity.

They are also trained to re-trieve medications and use a pre-programmed phone to call for help. These dogs can also be trained to help people with dia-betes, panic attacks and various other conditions.

Finding a dogIf you’re interested in get-

ting your mom a service dog, contact some assistance dog training agencies. To find them, Assistance Dogs International provides a listing of around 75 U.S. training agencies on their

Assistance dogs can make life easier for seniorsSavvy Senior website that you can access at

assistancedogsinternational.org.

After you locate a few, you’ll need to either visit their website or call them to find out the types of training dogs they offer, the areas they serve, if they have a waiting list and what upfront costs will be involved. Many agencies offer dogs for free, and others may charge several thousand dollars.

To get an assistance dog, your mom will need to show proof of her disability, which her physi-cian can provide, and she’ll have to complete an application and go through an interview process. She will also need to go and stay at the training facility for a week or two so she can get familiar with her dog and get training on how to handle it.

It’s also important to under-stand that assistance dogs are not for everybody. They require time, money and care that your mom or some other friend or family member must be able and willing to provide.

Savvy tip: For more in-formation on assistance dogs, visit workinglikedogs.com, an educational website for people who are interested in getting an assistance dog. They also offer “Working Like Dogs: The Ser-vice Dog Guidebook” for $22.

Is there a way I can tell my

children?

Q. Is there a way I can tell my children some personal things outside of my estate plan?A. Yes, we have had clients be very creative in the ways they choose to communi-cate with their loved ones after they are gone. My own uncle left a very touching and inspirational letter to each of his sons. I have had clients leave detailed let-ters outlining their wishes for future generations, their values and philosophy of life. Several have even vid-eotaped their messages to children and grandchildren. Many of these messages have been quite well done and much appreciated by the recipients.

LaurelHurst observes Veterans Day with a new traditionThe residents of LaurelHurst

Retirement Community in Co-lumbus recently held a Veterans Day program.

Everyone s tood for the pledge to the American flag, followed by singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

The LaurelHurst Singers performed many patriotic songs under the direction of Judy Sublett. Each branch of the armed forces was honored in song. The residents in the audi-ence joined in the singing.

Residents were honored with certificates in honor and in memory of lost loved ones for the service provided by them to America.

A new tradition was started that will continue each Veter-ans Day and Memorial Day. A white table was set to represent those soldiers that are MIA (missing in action) or POW (prisoners of war). Residents heard a reading from the book “America’s White Table,” by Margot Theis Raven, which explained the symbolism of the white table. The white cloth honors soldiers’ hearts as they answer to the call of duty. Grains of salt and a lemon slice on the plate represent the tears shed as families wait for loved ones to return home. The black napkin is for the sorrow

of captivity. A turned-over glass shows the meal that won’t be eaten.

The table also had a white candle for peace and a red rose for the hope that all missing will one day return. Tears were seen all throughout the audience as each object on the table was

described in the reading. After the program, residents

reminisced of their time during the war. They swapped stories of joy and sadness. Many fam-ily members shared this event with their loved ones.

Carisa Sellers, a sixth-grader at Polk County Middle School, plans to host a food drive for Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry Friday, Dec. 2 at the Pea Ridge Club House from noon-6 p.m.

From 6-9 p.m. Sellers is also

hosting a Christmas party for peers with an admission cost of one donated food item.

Sellers’ mother, Michelle, said their church, Father’s Vine-yard in Spindale, encourages mission work internationally

and locally. So, when Carisa re-ally wanted to have a Christmas party she decided to accomplish both goals by having a food drive as part of the party to show her peers that they could be a part of giving back.
