The town had to call the residents of the Woods development regarding flushing lines and achieved an 85.71 percent, or 18 of 21 phone numbers reached. The numbers missed were either customers who had moved or were incorrect numbers in the system. Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe reported the notification call during the town council meeting held on Sept. 19.

Columbus police collides with deerDuring the Columbus Town Council meeting held on Sept. 19, Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield reported that a 2010 police vehicle collided with a an 8-point, large deer. Beddingfield said the officer was not at fault and the car has been repaired.

This is one of 12 contracts total-ing $91.3 million awarded by Conti in September for highway and bridge projects across North Caro-lina. The contracts were awarded to the lowest bidders, as required by state law, and came in at 3.6 per-cent, or about $3.4 million, below NCDOT estimates.

Commissioners propose zoning enforcement changesPublic hearing Monday, Oct. 3byLeahJustice

After discovering some defi-ciencies in Polk County’s zoning ordinance relating to enforce-ment of violations, the Polk County Board of Commissioners is now considering amendments.

Commissioners met Monday, Sept. 19, and reviewed the draft changes approved by the Polk County Planning Board. The county scheduled a public hear-ing on the changes for Monday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m.

County attorney Michael Egan said the changes will mod-ernize the county’s enforcement ordinance as the county cur-rently has handicaps in trying to deal with some violations.

Violations addressed in this section of the ordinance involve activities such as development, site preparation, demolition, construction, remodeling and other land improvement activi-ties. The draft changes specify what is a violation, which was omitted from the county’s cur-rent ordinance.

The draft changes will also de-criminalize violations to the county’s ordinance, according to Egan. The current ordinance does not allow civil penalties;

rather, the county has to go to the district attorney, who decides whether or not to file criminal charges for violations. If charges are filed, violators currently could receive a $50 fine, money that is not returned to the county.

The draft changes include sending a number of notices prior to sending a notice of violation. The first failure to comply violation is a $50 fine and subsequent violations esca-late to $500.

“We’re looking for compli-ance, not to convict anyone of a crime,” Egan said.

The amendments also give explicit authorization to the zon-ing administrator for inspection and enforcement.

Egan said the county’s cur-rent ordinance is difficult to enforce and it doesn’t make good fiscal sense to have the district attorney handle violations.

“The ordinance is outdated,” Egan said. “I think it was prob-ably created in the 1970s.”

Although the ordinance has been amended since its creation, Egan said he doesn’t think it has been addressed in quite a while.

Polk County’s zoning or-dinance is only enforceable in zoned townships. All Polk town-ships are zoned except Coopers Gap and White Oak.

Saluda considers tree trimming ordinancebySamanthaHurst

Saluda City commission-ers have decided to take up discussion on a tree trimming ordinance for the city after two residents expressed frustration over the amount of trimming done near their properties earlier this month.

Walter Hoover on Sept. 12 asked the commission why a mixed rhododendron privacy screen, that took years to create, was clear cutted at the edge of his property. Hoover said this was not the first time he had asked a city official about the issue.

“I am still waiting for full disclosure as to why this exces-sive bush hogging occurred,” Hoover said in the meeting. “I am frustrated because I don’t think the rights of citizens are being considered.”

A second resident, Dan Sher-

rer came before the commission as well.

Sherrer and his wife, Kather-ine, live on Ridge Drive.

Sherrer said he was frustrated over the extent to which a bank was clear-cut near his prop-erty. He said the cutting left an unsightly 8-foot patch.

“What dis-tu rbs me i s that the city did not extend the courtesy of giving me and other neighbors advance notice of their plans,” Sherrer said.

Leon Morgan, street com-missioner, said there was an announcement made during an earlier city council meeting regarding plans to cut back trees

along all city streets, something the town has done for years. He said, however, that he under-stands that for some people the necessary cuts may cross over

their property lines based on how close their homes set to the road.

“All I can do is offer you an apology, and I apologize for what hap-pened at your place,” Mor-gan said. “But the fire depart-

ment wants to have the streets clear so they can pass through – it’s really a safety issue.”

A letter from the fire depart-ment to the city requested a 20-foot wide and 14-foot high clearance on city streets.

Commissioner Johnny Ki-nard reminded those in atten-dance that insurance ratings are not calculated every year, but on a random basis every three or four years.

“If they come in here and determine that we are not in compliance with the code of North Carolina, it’s going to cost us more money,” Kinard said. “I think Erny’s [Williams] right, we need to look at this and do something about this.”

Commissioner John Morgan said he still believes the require-ments could be softened.

He said 20 feet off the road would be too harsh in some areas where homeowners have property that sits right on the road.

Town attorney Bailey Nager said property lines do not restrict

“I am still waiting for full disclosure as to why this excessive bush hogging occurred. I am frustrated because I don’t think the rights of citizens are being considered.”

the right-of-way for city streets. “State law is extremely clear

when it comes to city streets,” Nager said, “It gives the city very broad discretion with what it feels it needs to do in regard to public safety.”

Commissioner John Morgan said he thinks enforcement should allow for bringing in the property owners from the get-go to ask them to take care of the issue themselves before taking a more drastic measure.

“I see the intent here, I under-stand what we are trying to do, but I think we need to soften it a bit and bring the homeowners in on this to have their input,” John Morgan said.

City Administrator Erny Wil-liams asked that the commis-sion take up a tree-trimming ordinance.

“In lieu of everything I would

like for this – if it takes a couple of months, whatever it takes – to help us come up with a trimming process that is good for every-body,” Williams said.

Hoover said he also doubted that an additional ordinance would be of benefit if it were randomly and inappropriately enforced.

Commissioner George Sweet said he believed the town needed to take opinions of both emer-gency officials and residents into account.

“I think we need to try to be consistent throughout the city and I think we need to try to have a solid basis for adopting some distance outside the paved road or the gravel roadway and we ought to notify the citizens that that’s where we are and give them the opportunity to cut it back themselves,” Sweet said.

Williams asked to receive input back from commissioners by the first of November.

Longtime Polk County resi-dent Bob Mischler was pleas-antly surprised by his recent induction into the Second Wind Hall of Fame.

Mischler, who has been a stalwart volunteer for the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, was recognized in August.

A retired high school princi-pal from Connecticut, Mischler has been involved in the com-munity since moving to the area in 1979. His first involvement was with the Polk County 4-H Foundation, where he served in numerous roles, including board president. After three terms as foundation director, Mischler continued to help with the annual 4-H barbeque suppers.

Perhaps his greatest contri-

bution has been his work as an extension master gardener vol-unteer. Mischler was a member of the very first Polk County class in 1998.

In this role, Mischler helps advise local citizens about their garden problems. His volunteer time exceeds 500 hours as a Polk County Master Gardener.

Mischler has also served as treasurer of the local AARP chapter plus served as a volun-teer numerous years with the Blue Ridge Barbeque Festival and the Polk County Travel and Tourism Office.

Mischler has four grown children and he and his wife Barbara live in Tryon Town-ship.

Habitat appoints Rev. Jeff Harris to board of directors

Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity (TBHH) announced the addition of the Reverend Jeff Harris, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Tryon, to its board of directors.

Harris will be in charge of community relations and dedica-tions. He replaces Father Walter Bryan, who was with Habitat for the last five years in the same position.

“We are grateful for the many years of service Walter has given to TBHH. TBHH will miss him,” board members said.

One of the jobs for Harris will be to organize a working relationship with the other local churches and other organizations. According to Habitat officials, the organization needs to find more qualified partners for whom a house can be provided.

At the present time, TBHH has four pre-owned houses avail-able; two in Tryon, one in Colum-bus and one in Landrum. Prices for these four houses are lower compared to newly constructed ones. Application forms for partnership can be picked up at the Restore in Landrum.

TBHH has recently started work on a new house in Sunny View. This house is the first of a new design. Plans for it were ob-tained from the Charlotte chapter.

The organization also has signed a contract with a new construction superintendent, Doug Bailey. Bailey is a licensed contractor, who also works part-time with the Rutherford Habitat chapter.

Highway patrol suspends academy, freezes hiring

N.C. Highway Patrol recently said budget cuts forced it to suspend its trooper academy and freeze hiring even though it has about 100 unfilled trooper posi-tions across the state.

The state legislature has re-duced funding for the highway patrol by more than $8 million (or about four percent) in the current fiscal year and by up to $15 million over the next two fiscal years. The reductions come after the highway patrol lost about $28 million in funding in the previ-ous two years.

Highway patrol officials said the number of vacancies will rise, with an average of about eight troopers retiring or resign-ing each month. Officials at the agency said they’re concerned it will take a long time to fill those openings without the academy in operation.

First Sgt. Pat Staggs, who handles highway patrol opera-tions in Buncombe County, said the agency has not added troop-ers there in at least 10 years so

it’s difficult to provide the type of 24/7 service needed for a growing population. Highway patrol will reduce costs con-siderably while the academy is shut down. It costs the state ap-proximately $100,000 to pay the salary, benefits, shelter, clothing and vehicle costs for one cadet through the 29-week academy, and cadets must then complete another 12 weeks of field train-

ing. The state recently grad-uated 38 state troopers from the N.C. High-

way Patrol Basic School, but it’s unclear when the academy will resume operations and the next class will graduate.

Times. The newspaper reported home sales were down 3.7 per-cent nationally through the first half of 2011, while they were down 12 percent in the Ashe-ville area over the same period. However, median prices in the Asheville area were down only 0.5 percent during that period, compared to an average price decline of 4.7 percent nationally.

Since the start of the reces-sion in 2008, the median price of homes sold in the Asheville area has declined 15.1 percent. Na-tionally, the price declined 16.2 percent over the same 3.5-year period. The newspaper reports the median price of a single-family home sold in 2008 in the Asheville area was $225,000. In the second quarter of this year, the median was $191,500.

After nearly 2,000 homes sold in the Asheville area in

2008, the number declined to 1,683 in 2009 and then rose to 1,706 last year. The area is on pace to finish below the 2009 low for home sales after record-ing 788 sales through the first six months of the year.

Sales of condos and town-houses have f a r e d e v e n worse in the A s h e v i l l e area, declining by nearly 40 percent since 2008 compared to a national average drop of about 20 percent. The Citizen Times reports that resi-dential real estate investment, though, is one of the fastest-growing segments in the Ashe-ville area as developers start projects to meet the demand of an increased number of renters.


***In Henderson County, sales

of existing homes were down 12.1 percent in the first half of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, based on N.C. Mountains Multiple Listing Service data reported in the Asheville Citizen Times.

Although the figures show a substantial price decline in the pas t year, the re-port notes that

federal tax credits artificially in-flated home sales in the first half of 2010. Real estate brokers said the area will get a better com-parison over the second half of this year because the tax credits primarily impacted sales only in the first half of 2010.

Steve Dozier, a broker at Prudential Lifestyle Realty in Hendersonville, said Hender-son County homes sold in three months or less so far this year were sold at about 94 percent

of the original list price, while homes on the market for three to six months went at 92.6 percent and homes on the market more than a year sold at 71.1 percent.

Dozier said some buyers continue to look for foreclosure-level prices, although only about 4.6 percent of homes for sale in Henderson County are fore-closures.

July. It was the fourth straight month that prices increased in the markets tracked by the index.

Despite the increases, the July home prices were still lower than last year. The average price of homes sold in July in Charlotte was down 4 percent, and the av-erage for Case-Shiller’s 20-mar-ket composite was down 4.1 percent compared to July 2010.

S t r a y animals that end up at the

Spartanburg Humane Society will be kept there a little longer before they are euthanized. Spartanburg County Council approved a requirement that animals be held at for at least five days, which will bring the shelter into compliance with state law. The Spartanburg Humane So-ciety had a policy for years of holding stray animals for three days before euthanizing them.

Spartanburg County Council member Michael Brown said the longer waiting period is ex-pected to raise costs at the shelter by up to 50 percent. The humane society said it already switched over to the longer holiday pe-riod, and it’s struggling to find enough room to hold cats for five days.

***Wade Mainer, a North Caro-

lina native sometimes referred to as “the godfather of North Carolina country music,” died recently at his home in Michigan at the age of 104.

Mainer was a mountain-born banjo picker who became C h a r l o t t e ’s most-recorded country artist

during the 1930s. Mainer per-formed during the Great De-pression at the White House for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, and he once performed in New York City with folk legend Woody Guthrie. He last per-formed publicly in Charlotte in 1985 at the Charlotte Country Music Story.

After hitchhiking from Bun-combe County to Concord, Mainer took a job working in a cotton mill in the mid 1920s. In 1934, he and his older brother, J.E. Mainer, got a spot on the “Crazy Water Barn Dance” ra-dio show, and the two brothers soon became one of the hottest country acts in the southeast, releasing albums under RCA’s Bluebird Series.

Although Mainer moved to Michigan in the late 1940s, he told the Charlotte Observer in a 2003 interview that the moun-tains where he grew up always lived in his music.

Mainer is in the Michigan country music hall of fame, and last year the University Press of Mississippi published “Banjo on the Mountain: The First 100 years of Wade Mainer.”

Tryon recognizes Millard for work on depot restorationby Leah Justice

Tryon Town Council recog-nized Andy Millard on Tuesday, Sept. 27 for his work in restoring the town’s 1906 train depot.

Millard paid to have the depot restored to house his business, Millard & Company, in exchange for a 20-year, $1-per-year lease of the building.

The town granted the lease in May 2010 and Millard occupied the restored building on Jan. 1, 2011. Millard was expected to spend an estimated $250,000 on the restoration.

Millard said the project would not have been accomplished if it weren’t for the Tryon Town Council.

“Thank you so much,” Mil-lard said. “It’s a great honor and I appreciate it.”

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples presented Millard with a procla-mation recognizing him for the

depot project. Peoples said, “Andy Millard,

Millard was complimented for his work in coordinating with the Tryon Downtown Development Association’s Streetscape master plan and for his hiring of local contractors to enhance the local economy.

Brady/Trakas Architects was also recognized for its assistance in the project.

“Millard’s renovation of the 1906 Tryon Depot serves as a shining magnanimous example to inspire others to similar civic acts and contributions to benefit our entire community,” read the

Joy Johnson and her husband, Norman, stood on the deck of the Norwegian cruise ship Nor-dlys Thursday, Sept. 15 taking in scenery of the area.

As the two snapped a few photos, smoke and flames sud-denly interrupted their view.

An explosion in the engine room of the ship had sparked a fire not 24 hours after the couple had boarded.

“It was quite an adventure,” Joy said of throwing on life jackets and working to get ev-eryone into limited numbers of available lifeboats.

“Still, I don’t think any of us were overly concerned,” Joy said. “We did have to don the lifejackets, which were very pe-culiar because they were made for frigid water, but everyone remained calm.”

More than 250 passengers, including the Johnsons, were evacuated from the burning ship.

Joy said Norman and several others worked together to get a handful of disabled passengers safely into the lifeboats.

The real tragedy, Joy later discovered, was that two crew-members had died in the acci-dent; one of them an 18-year-old apprentice on his first voyage.

“It was really a very sad thing and we consider ourselves very lucky,” she said. “It has curbed my appetite for cruising now, though.”

Joy said the staff of the ship handled the event very well – getting passengers quickly to shore and into hotels.

“They were just amazing,” Joy said. “They had buses wait-ing and navy doctors on hand to ensure everyone had prescrip-tions they needed and such.”

Joy said to further the good fortune of the passengers, the ship was not far from the shore of Alesund, where a disaster drill was taking place that very day. Joy said the workers knew exactly what to do.

She said she would no longer be flippant about safety drills.

“You know you take these things for granted. Now I realize how important it is to take ad-vantage of the information they give you in the safety drills,” she said.

If anything, Joy said she and her husband did make a lot of new friends out of the comra-derie of the situation.

The Johnsons returned home Tuesday, Sept. 20, and while they still have seen no sign of their possessions, they said they are thrilled to be safely back in Polk County.

TPS (Tryon Painters and Sculptures) member Verlie Murphy of Saluda was accepted into the 38th annual Artists Guild of Spartanburg regional competition. The work that was accepted, titled “Recycled Lace” is a 9”x12” cold wax and oils piece.

The opening reception for the competition exhibit was held on Sept. 17 at the Carolina Gallery located on Main Street in Spartanburg, S.C.

In addition, two of Mur-phy’s encaustic (hotwax) works will be published in an artists’

magazine in Rome, Italy, this December; 10,000 copies of the publication will be distributed.

Murphy is currently a part of a collaboration of artists around the world who are exploring a new product called Aqwax, which will be manufactured through a company in Spain. Aqwax is a water-soluble wax that can be applied with a brush or a knife.

When this study is com-pleted two of her works will be chosen by the company to promote Aqwax.

The Tryon branch of the Ameri-can Association of University Women (AAUW) will host “Por-celain, Poetry and Prose” a fund-raising tea for the Eileen White Scholarship Fund, on Saturday, Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. in the Tryon Depot.

The tea’s featured authors and editors are Cathy Smith Bowers, John Lane, Jeri Fitzgerald Board and Betsy Teter, who will discuss their latest literary projects.

Tryon resident Smith Bowers will discuss “The Abiding Image: Writing Into the Mystery.” Smith Bowers was born and raised, one of six children, in the small mill town of Lancaster, S.C. Her poems have appeared widely in a variety of publications.

Smith Bowers was named N.C.’s poet laureate in February 2010, traveling the state as the liter-ary ambassador. Her works include “Traveling in Time of Danger,” “A Book of Minutes,” “The Candle I Hold Up To See You” and “Like

AAUW hosts ‘Porcelain, Poetry and Prose’ Oct. 8Shining from Shook Foil.”

Smith Bowers currently teaches in the Queens low-residency MFA program and at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C.

Poet, essayist and author Lane has been teaching students in English and creative writing since 1988. He’s now in the midst of a new challenge, the development of the environmental studies major at Wofford College.

Having served as interim direc-tor of the program, Lane is now director of Wofford’s Goodall Center for environmental studies, located at the Glendale Shoals of Lawson’s Fork Creek, in the his-toric Glendale community. Lane’s topic, “My Paddle to the Sea,” reflects his interest in nature and the environment.

Lane’s latest prose book is “My Paddle to the Sea.” Its publication is due out this November.

Board is a retired administrator with UNC, and a former professor

of African-American studies and american women writers at Duke University and St. Andrews Col-lege. Her historical novel, “The Bed She Was Born In” was nomi-nated for a Pulitzer, was a finalist for the Southeastern Independent Bookseller’s award for fiction and won the prestigious president’s award of the N.C. Society of Historians.

Board will present “The Scene’s the Thing.” She’ll discuss the nec-essary elements of a well-written scene, the importance of character-driven sequences in scenes and the thread that holds it all together.

In the 15 years since “Hub City Anthology” was released, founder and executive director Teter’s nonprofit Hub City Writer’s Proj-ect has published some 45 books. Her dream of cultivating readers and nurturing writers through its independent small press, commu-nity bookshop and diverse literary programming has produced more

than 300 writers, renovated two historic downtown buildings and given away more than $15,000 in scholarships to emerging writers. In June 2010, the project opened an independent and nonprofit book-store in downtown Spartanburg. Teter is a graduate of Spartanburg Day School and holds a BA in his-tory from Wake Forest University.

This event is by reservation only. Seating is limited and early reservations are suggested.

AAUW is a nationwide net-work. Their mission is to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy and research.

The Tryon Area Branch of AAUW Eileen White Scholarship Fund was established to provide financial support for women who are returning to the classroom. For ticket information, please call 859-6187.

Wolverines face major challenge tonight versus visiting Mitchellby Daniel Hecht

Riding a wave of confidence following last week’s road win over Mountain Heritage in Burnsville, Polk County foot-ball returns home to the Little Big House tonight.

In what should prove to be the team’s toughest challenge of the season thus far, the Wolverines will line up against the Moun-taineers of Mitchell High School, a team that advanced deep into the playoffs last year before los-ing to the eventual 1AA State Champion Albemarle Bulldogs.

According to Polk head coach Bruce Ollis, the Wolverines,

sporting an overall record of 5-1 and a perfect 2-0 in confer-ence competition, are primed and ready for the visitors from Bakersville.

“We have not had to worry about getting our players moti-vated, as Mitchell was the only blemish on our regular season record last year,” said Ollis.

The Mountaineers run the Wing-T out of the shotgun, an attack very similar to the offense faced by the Wolverines last week during their visit to “The Pit” in Yancey County. The key difference this week is that the Polk County defense must find

a way to neutralize Mitchell QB Justin Hughes. As the leading rusher in the mountains, Hughes has already surpassed the 1000 yard mark in just the first six games of the season.

With a run to pass ratio of 10-1, Mitchell rarely puts the ball in the air.

“One of our goals defensively each week is to make the opposi-tion do something they don’t feel comfortable doing,” said Ollis.

For their part, the Mountain-eers are expected to roll into Columbus spoiling for a fight, as the team seeks redemption for last week’s heartbreaking triple

overtime loss to the Owen War-horses at Swannanoa, a game in which Hughes led all rushers with 251 yards on 22 carries.

Any way you slice it, the Wolverines will have their work cut out for them this evening.

“Every starter [for Mitchell] on each side of the ball is a se-nior that was part of a playoff run last season that took them all the way to the Western final,” said Ollis. “They have great con-fidence and, without a doubt, a tremendous senior leader.”

The action kicks off tonight at 7:30 p.m. under the lights at PCHS.

The Landrum football team has had a dramatic season. The Cardinals took their show on the road and beat Traveler’s Rest in week one.

In week two, quarterback Brandon Cannon ran in a touch-down as the final buzzer sounded for their second win. In week three, the Cardinals beat border rival Polk County for the first time in eight years. In week four, they dominated Dixie on the road. And last week, the Cardi-nals lost an emotional game to future 2A rival Liberty and were in it until the last second.

This week, however, the road becomes a little more important. The Cardinals are shifting their focus to the region and are look-ing for their first region cham-pionship since 2005. That road begins at Whitmire this Friday

Cardinals take region roadto Whitmire

night at 7:30.“They are very ready (to com-

pete in the region),” head coach Russell Mahaffey said. “After the tough loss to Liberty, I think we are more focused than ever.”

The Cardinals have used a wide open spread attack this sea-son and ran it well. The Cardinals are off to their fastest start since 2004 when they started 4-0.

The Wolverines are winless this season, but run the Wing T, Spread and Pro I offenses so the Cardinals “have a lot to prepare for this week,” Mahaffey said.

Mahaffey’s message to his team this week has been simple and to the point.

“There is a great deal at stake every week – the playoff situation and the chance to play for another region title,” Mahaffey said. “We have to focus every week because our region is good.”

Q. should I use my applicable exclusion ($1million) during my lifetime or upon my death?A. Many people have the misconception that it is best to “save” their applicable exclusion amount until their death.However, a more powerful leveraging technique is to utilize it during your lifetime. If you use your applicable exclusion amount by making lifetime gifts, the value of the gifts will appreciate in the recipients’ hands and not in your taxable estate. Between investment growth and inflation, the value of the gift should be substantial. For example, assuming the value of your gift will double every 7.2 years, if your life expectancy is 21 more years, a $1 million gift will be worth $8 million in the hands of the recipients at the end of the time. assuming a 55% tax rate, you would have to leave over $17.7 million to provide your heirs with the same amount.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Sharpening your training technique wiselyAs a master trainer, I have

other personal trainers come to me to sharpen their training skills and learn advanced training technique, but one thing I stress to them all is the importance of incorporating proper exercise form in the weight room.

Proper form is a must, because of several reasons.

First, if exercise is done cor-rectly there’s m u c h l e s s chance of in-jury. Most in-juries in the weight room don’t happen in dramatic fashion. Most begin with just a little twinge that doesn’t feel right. Then that twinge sometimes gets worse.

Another reason I teach, and use proper form in the weight room is progress.

If exercises aren’t performed correctly, you won’t get de-sired results. Also, when you exercise incorrectly, whether using machines or free weights, you emphasize the wrong mus-cles. This leads to strength im-balances that not only detract from your progress, but also could hurt you then or later on. Weight training exercises may look simple, but can actually be very complex.

Whether I’m teaching clients or trainers, I show them how many pieces there are to an exer-cise, how those pieces influence parts of the body, then how to put

all the exercise pieces together. That culminates into an exercise routine. I also show them how just ¼ inch difference in an exer-cise can triple the results received from that same exercise. In fact, did you know just breathing cor-rectly when doing abdominal exercises will more than double your rate of success?

I tell clients that every ex-ercise I have them do is to get them ready for another ex-ercise. There’s

no such thing as the perfect ex-ercise routine forever.

Your body will eventually ad-just to the routine and stop mak-ing the same progress. Your rou-tine will then have to be changed. The key is knowing how and when to change it.

Yet another reason to learn proper exercise form from the start is that when someone has learned exercises incorrectly, their body gets used to it. The way they incorrectly learned these exercises is chemically etched in their brain. This makes it harder to re-learn (if you will) the new proper exercises.

Another reason to learn proper exercise technique is that you’ll enjoy your exercise more. You’ll be more stable, and able to be more aggressive, having the con-fidence in your ability to perform exercises well.

So, just how do you go about

learning proper exercise form? Well, first let’s go over what not to do. • Don’t learn by copying some-

one else in the gym who looks like he or she is in good shape.

• Don’t get your sole exercise knowledge from television, because you can’t get answers to questions you might have.

• Don’t get all your information from books or magazines for the same reason. I recommend you contact an exercise pro-fessional. Sit down with them and express your goals.

• When they implement your program, ask questions, and take notes. Be sure to tell them if something doesn’t feel right during your exercise sessions. Learn proper exercise form,

and you might just become an expert exerciser.

THE PEG SUS GROUP

It’s almost never the case that I don’t have something to write about, ongoing stories that have not reached a conclusion and new ones that pop up each week.

There are some cases I simply do not write about, but the people and the animals know that Uncle Lennie was there to help. For example, within the last few days there was a little Shepherd mix that was struck by a car. A dear lady who has multiple sclero-sis who needs a therapy dog that I have visited, but today’s tale is about a different sort of visit.

Last week I was invited to a supporter’s home where I was welcomed and treated with impec-cable hospitality. I can honestly say I had a wonderful time and the level of warmth bestowed on me was both flattering and heartfelt. It was a magnificent home that featured every amenity a person could desire, along with beauti-ful antiques and artwork strewn about.

When I left I felt very good about the visit but I felt as if some-thing was missing. I enjoyed it like a night at the opera or a visit to a museum, except for the warmth of

the people, it will stay on my mind but not in my heart.

On the contrary, I often visit homes that contain one or more pets and many with multiple pets. Most of these are also magnificent homes with all the amenities. These people seem to be al-ways fighting animal hair, stains from mistakes and the ability to dole out their love equally. With

each visit I’m al-ways greeted by the pets before the people and when I leave the visit, it remains

engraved on my heart. That is because I firmly believe a pet transforms a house into a home.

I am well aware that many good people do not own a pet for many reasons, allergies, costs or perhaps they just don’t fit into their lifestyle.

If none of these are the case, please visit us at the Foothills Humane Society (FHS) and look at some of the beautiful animals we have to offer. I promise that if you save one of my kids, you will receive unconditional love and they will most assuredly change your house into a home or perhaps add to your already loving home.

On behalf of me and my kids, thanks for listening.

Rhyme orReason

by Rodney Gibson

Since 1975, my occupation has placed me in the arena of industry and environmental impact issues.

I have advised federal, state and local agencies, as well as,industry and many attorneys on technical and regulatory issues related to the environment.

I have had the good fortune to successfully run manufacturing concerns, which included inter-national businesses and have had direct experience in understand-ing the dynam-ics of how envi-ronmental and other regulatory programs impact businesses – domestic and inter-national.

I tell you this to lay the ground-work for the remainder of this article. There have been a lot of good peo-ple that have become “environ-mentalists” because they wanted to do something worthwhile for future generations.

There have also been a lot of “not so good” people that have “gamed the system” under the guise of “environmentalism.”

I have dealt with both. How-ever, at some point, the “gamers” have overtaken the direction of “environmentalism” and we now have something that no longer considers the science, which af-fects the costs and benefits of policy and regulation.

Unfortunately, the costs of regulations are understated and the benefits are overstated. Recently, President Obama chose to delay another “tightening” of the ground level ozone rules.

To quote him: “I have contin-ued to underscore the importance of reducing regulatory burdens and regulatory uncertainty, par-ticularly as our economy continues to recover.”

Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, said the move suggests the White House “is becoming more sensi-tive to the uncertainty created by their heavy regulatory hand. They are beginning to understand that the regulatory burden does more

to chill job creation than just about anything else out there.”

And then there is Al Gore who stated: “Instead of relying on sci-ence, President Obama appears to have bowed to pressure from pol-luters who did not want to bear the cost of implementing new restric-tions on their harmful pollution. The result of the White House’s action will be increased medical bills for seniors with lung dis-

ease, more chil-dren developing asthma, and the continued degra-dation of our air quality.”

I applaud the outcome of delaying or shelving a new “ozone” rule but I must say that the reasons given for or against the rule simply don’t make much sense. Just like economic regulations (think Federal Reserve and SEC), environmental regula-tion is a myriad of rules that is both complex and far-reaching. But one thing should apply to both.

If it’s not practical and/or can’t be used effectively, then it becomes a meaningless rule. Regulation in any form must have an “achievable” beneficial result.

For example, in the 1990s, if we had put into place “safeguard” rules for the “sub-prime” mort-gage derivatives products, there is a good chance there wouldn’t have been the devastating financial crisis that we’re now trying to recover from.

It is very unlikely that imple-menting a lower “ground-level ozone” standard is going to pro-duce any discernable benefits.

Why? We do not a have chance of

meeting the current “ozone” standards in the U.S., much less a more stringent standard. I’m sure you’re asking yourself, “Why can we not meet the current standard?”

Well, the answer is very com-plex.

Ozone is the result of a com-plex series of reactions in the atmosphere involving man-made and, yes, natural sources of pollut-

ants in the air. The standards proposed are

about half of the original standard. Unfortunately, almost no met-ropolitan area that was declared to be in non-attainment with the standards has ever remained in at-tainment for long even with severe controls and emission reduction targets.

We have just about reached the limit of current technology with regard to industrial and au-tomotive emissions and we have no way of dealing with natural sources.

I’m sure I’ll get some disagree-ment on this, but we’ve fundamen-tally reached the limit of practical-ity with regard to the engineering and technology in reducing levels of “ground-level ozone.”

The result is that the sprint to meet even lower standards would require draconian measures such as eliminating almost all “coal-fired” power plants in the United States. Despite the “dream” of a pollution-free (Green) energy industry, the next couple of gen-erations will not see much of it because it is terribly costly and inefficient compared to our current energy sources.

There is one “broad picture” aspect to all of this that doesn’t seem to get much attention. The quality of our air is impacted by pollutants emitted by thriv-ing industrial economies in Asia where industrial controls are lax or non-existent.

Coal is the favored energy source of those economies. If we eliminate well-controlled “coal-fired” plants in the United States and drive more manufacturing to poor Asian countries, our air quality will not improve but will likely deteriorate for reasons completely out of our control. This “canary in the coal mine” hasn’t gotten much attention.

Deteriorating air quality is one of those unexpected consequences of moving manufacturing out of this country into “cheap labor” countries.

The proposed tightening of the “ozone” rules would likely make our air quality worse, not better. We need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.
