Country Cablevision is hooking up Internet
By Jonathan Austin Yancey County News Country Cablevision announced this week that the new high speed fiber optic network is now available within the Burnsville City limits. The news came after weeks of delay in gaining approval from the Rural Utilities Service Division of the USDA to connect the finished fiber to area homes and businesses. “The new high speed broadband fiber optic network is ready to start installing services to new customers,” said Country Cablevision President Ray Miller, “and will be deployed in segments. Eventually, this service will be available to all of both Yancey and Mitchell
counties.” Country Cablevision of Burnsville was awarded a $25.3 million broadband stimulus grant for its Yancey-Mitchell Rural Broadband (YMRB) Project in 2010, the Yancey County cable provider, Country Cablevision, received a multi-million dollar grant in federal stimulus funds from the Department of Agriculture to install high speed internet accessible to 95 percent of the addresses in Yancey and Mitchell counties. Initial connections will be made in the Burnsville area, first serving the Town of Burnsville area. Customers can choose from three speeds of service; 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps and
100 Mbps. Telephone and video services are also available. As reported last week, Yancey County Manager Nathan Bennett said the high speed Internet connection “has opened a tremendous door for business, training, education, and community programs” in Yancey County. Miller said additional areas in Yancey and Mitchell counties will progressively be brought on line. “Country Cablevision will keep information posted about the expanded service areas through notices in local newspapers and other media. Country Cablevision is pleased to offer these services.”

Report shows how the Parkway pays A National Park Service report says that 15.2 million visitors to the Blue Ridge Parkway in 2012 spent $902 million in communities near the park. That spending supported 12,168 jobs in the local area. “The Blue Ridge Parkway is proud to welcome visitors from across the country and around the world,” said Superintendent Mark Woods. “We are delighted to share the story of this place and the experiences it provides and to use
the park as a way to introduce our visitors to this part of the country and all that it offers. National park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy – returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service - and it’s a big factor in our local economy as well. We appreciate the partnership and support of our neighbors and are glad to be able to give back by helping to sustain local communities.”
Yancey County’s Mt. Mitchell is one of the most popular destinations for Parkway visitors, and local leaders work to increase the visibility of Yancey businesses for travelers. “Of the approximately 450,000 people who visited Mt. Mitchell State Park, only 7 percent were from Yancey County,” said Wanda Proffitt, director of the Yancey County Economic Development See page 3

FDA considers update to nutrition labels
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has proposed updates to the well-known nutrition facts label for packaged foods to reflect the latest scientific information, including the link between diet and chronic diseases such as obesity and heart disease. Officials say the change is needed because a lot has changed in the American diet since the nutrition facts label was introduced in 1993 to provide important nutritional information on food packages. People are eating larger serving sizes. Rates of obesity, heart disease and stroke remain high. More is known about the relationship between nutrients and the risk of chronic diseases. “Obesity, heart disease and other chronic diseases are leading public health problems,” says Michael Landa, director of FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. “The proposed new label is intended to bring attention to calories and serving sizes, which are important in addressing these problems. Further, we are now proposing to require the listing of added sugars. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends reducing calories from added sugars and solid fats.” Jessica Leighton, senior nutrition science and policy advisor in FDA’s Office of Foods and Veterinary Medicine, and Claudine Kavanaugh, a health scientist at FDA, explain what you can expect to see if the proposed changes are enacted. “The goal is to make people aware of what they are eating and give them the tools to make healthy dietary choices throughout the day,” Leighton said. What’s Different? And Why? • The first thing consumers would notice is a greater emphasis
- with larger and bolder type - on calories. “The number of calories is especially important to maintaining a healthy weight,” Leighton said. • For the first time, “Added Sugars” would be included on the label. On average, Americans eat 16 percent of their daily calories from sugars added during food production. • And the calories from fat would no longer be listed. “We know that the type of fat is more important than the total amount of fat,” said Kavanaugh. Total, saturated and trans fat will still be required. • The number of servings per package would also be more prominent. “Amount Per Serving,” would now have the actual serving size listed, such as “Amount per cup.” • FDA proposes updating serving size requirements. These updates would reflect the reality of what people actually eat, according to recent food consumption data. By law, serving sizes must be based on what people actually eat, not on what they “should” be eating. • FDA would update Daily Values for various nutrients. Daily Values are used to calculate the Percent Daily Value (%DV) on the label, which helps consumers understand the nutrition information in the context of a total diet. In addition, the %DV would be shifted to the left of the label. FDA wants to help consumers visually and quickly put nutrient information in context. • The amounts of potassium and Vitamin D would be required on the label. Vitamin D is important for healthy bones, especially among women and the elderly. And potassium helps to lower blood pressure and prevent hypertension. “We have evidence that people are not consuming enough of these nutrients to protect against chronic diseases,” Leighton said.

Inequality for all?
On Sunday, March 9 at 3:30, there will be a free showing of the documentary by Robert Reich, “Inequality for All,” at the Celo Community Center. Reich is a professor of political economics at UC Berkeley and former secretary of labor in the Clinton administration. The movie is described as “a humorous and enlightening” explanation of how “massive consolidation of wealth ... threatens the viability of the American workforce and the foundation of democracy itself.”
What’s the Goal? Both Leighton and Kavanaugh stress that the primary goal of the proposed changes to the Nutrition Facts label is not to tell people what they should be eating, but to expand and highlight the information they most need when making food choices. “It’s all about providing information that people can use to make their own choices.” Kavanaugh said. For people with certain health issues, the information can be particularly valuable. “Although
the label is made for the general population, many of us are at risk for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and stroke or simply want to eat fewer calories,” Kavanaugh said. • If you are concerned about high blood pressure and strokes, you may want to pay attention to sodium and potassium amounts on food labels. • For cardiovascular health, seek foods lower in saturated fats, cholesterol, trans fats and sodium.
Washington updates changes to national WIC nutrition program
The U. S. Department of Agriculture finalized changes to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) to improve the nutrition and health of the nation’s low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants and young children. The changes – which increase access to fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy – are based on the latest nutrition science. Today’s announcement marks the completion of the first comprehensive revisions to the WIC food packages since 1980. “The updates to the WIC food package make pivotal improvements to the program and better meet the diverse nutritional needs of mothers and their young children,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “The foods provided by the WIC program, along with education that focuses on the critical role of breastfeeding and proper nutrition, help to ensure that every American child has the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong.” Along with a more than 30 percent increase in the dollar amount for children’s fruits and vegetables purchases, the changes also: • expand whole grain options available to participants, • provide yogurt as a partial milk substitute for children and women, • allow parents of older infants to
purchase fresh fruits and vegetables instead of jarred infant food if they choose, and; • give states and local WIC agencies more flexibility to meet the nutritional and cultural needs of WIC participants. The revisions reflect public comments submitted in response to the first major changes in more than 30 years that were published as interim requirements in December 2007, which updated regulations governing WIC foods to align them more closely with updated nutrition science, recommendations of the National Academies’ Institute of Medicine and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the Federal government’s benchmark for healthy eating and nutrition. WIC provides low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five with nutritious, supplemental foods. The program also provides nutrition and breastfeeding education and referrals to health and social services. Over 8.5 million participants receive WIC benefits each month. Recent research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified changes to the WIC food packages as a contributing factor in the decline in obesity rates among low-income preschoolers in many states.

Pritchard trial postponed yet again The Parkway’s impact rated in report Trial was again delayed last week for John Herbert Pritchard. A court official said the second-degree murder trial was rescheduled because one of the state’s witnesses had been hospitalized. More than 50 residents had been initially called for jury duty in preparation for the trial last week. Pritchard was charged in
November 2011, accused of killing Jonathan Russell Whitson Jr. when he provided him with a morphine-based drug that killed him. Whitson, 29, was found dead at a home off English Branch Road. He died of an overdose, according to the autopsy. Pritchard was taken into custody Dec. 1, 2011. Initially released on bond, he is now in Yancey County jail.
Two charged on child sex warraants
From the front Road, while the sheriff’s office said he was living at 55 Ruffed Grouse Lane, Apartment # 4, Burnsville. In an unrelated case, Rita Fay Higgins, 60, of 686 Langford Branch Rd., Burnsville, has been arrested on one count of felony first degree sex offense with a child.
According to the warrant sought by B.J. Shuford of the sheriff ’s office, Higgins is accused of engaging in a sex offense with a child under the age of 13. Rozelle is being held in the Yancey County jail under a $250,000 secured bond. Higgins was released on a $90,000 secured property bond.
From page 1 Commission. “With the designation of Mt. Mitchell Scenic Drive Byway, we are hopeful that more of these visitors will decide to explore Yancey County and town of Burnsville while they are in the area. Visitors bring and spend money from outside Yancey County, which has an enormous impact on our local economy when they shop in stores, eat in restaurants, etc. Tourism is important to our local economy and our business community,” she said. Superintendent Wood said the communities
around the Parkway are vital in maintaining the appeal of the national park highway. “The Parkway will continue to rely on important relationships with our partners and neighboring communities as we prepare for the upcoming 2014 visitor season and beyond,” Woods said. “The symbiotic nature of the Parkway and its gateway communities is clearly demonstrated by this report and reinforces one of the original vision statements of the Parkway as “a major contributor to regional economic vitality.” The peer-reviewed
visitor spending analysis shows $14.7 billion of direct spending by 283 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 243,000 jobs, with 201,000 jobs found in the Parkway gateway communities, and had a cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy of $26.75 billion. According to the report, most visitor spending supports jobs in restaurants, grocery and convenience stores (39 percent), hotels, motels and B&Bs (27 percent), and other amusement and recreation (20 percent).
Business administration program focuses on creating success Brandon Whitson considered several careers before he decided to enter the business field. He credits his decision to enter this career field because of the diversity it offered. Whitson also made the decision to start his higher education path at Mayland Community College. Whitson graduated from Mayland with h i s A s s o c i a t e ’s Degree in Business Administration. “I enjoyed attending Mayland,” said Whitson. “I made a lot of friends, and was around a lot of positive people. Everybody at Mayland shared a good mindset and it’s contagious. I built good, lasting relationships while I was there.” M a y l a n d ’s B u s i n e s s Administration Program focuses on creating student success in the business world. Graduates are trained in a variety of disciplines that help them be successful in either working for or operating a business. Through these skills, students gain a sound business education base for lifelong learning. Graduates are prepared for employment opportunities in government agencies, financial institutions, and large to small business or industry.
“Mayland’s instructors are very passionate about what they do, believe in what they are doing, care for students, are there after hours, and are very active in helping their students learn,” said Whitson. “That kind of concern w ill h elp an y o n e achieve their goals.” I n M a y l a n d ’s B u s i n e s s Administration Program, students gain fundamental knowledge of business functions, processes, and an understanding of business organizations in today’s global economy. Classes in the program include business co n ce p ts s u c h a s accounting, business l a w, e c o n o m i c s , management, and marketing. Skills related to the application of these concepts are developed through the study of computer applications, communication, team building, and decision-making. After graduating from Mayland, Whitson began working for Robertson Packaging Supply, Inc., a distributor for industrial shipping, packaging and janitorial supplies located in Marion. He started working in the warehouse pulling orders, unloading trucks and
making deliveries. As he gained more knowledge about the business, he moved into a sales position and currently serves as one of the company’s Vice Presidents. “The diversity of Robertson Packaging Supply, Inc. helped the company survive during the economic downturn,” said Whitson. “When I got the opportunity to go out on sales calls I loved it and was able to help build up the company. It’s a really interesting job, and I feel blessed to have it.” As Whitson worked, he also completed his Bachelor’s degree at Gardner Webb. “Mayland’s classes were challenging,” said Whitson. “The courses and teachers helped me become better prepared for academic challenges that I faced while earning my four-year degree.” Whitson says he is not finished with his education. He is applying to graduate programs looking to earn his MBA. He would like to eventually teach at the community college level and doing mission work to make a difference in the lives of others. “I enjoy being around people and sharing knowledge with others,” said
Whitson. “I like to see the light bulb go off when I am explaining something to someone and they understand the concept. I get enjoyment out of realizing that I am helping someone learn something that can help better enable their life.” Learn more about Mayland Community College’s certificate, diploma and degree programs by visiting www.mayland.edu or by calling 828766-1266.

Happiness on the hunt comes in differing flavors I was shooting in an archery tournament near Phenix City, Alabama ,this weekend in which thousands competed in various classifications in order to test their skills against one another. After the first day I met one person who was shooting his first national tournament and we talked about his experience. He commented he was satisfied with the results and was anxious for the second day of competition. His score placed him in the top 25 on the day. While talking with a few other competitors, we began discussing various hunting trips we have been on. One guy had a picture of a monster whitetail taken in southern Ohio. He spoke of how he had paid good money for the hunt, but he was satisfied considering the size of the deer and the overall experience. It easily outdid anything he could have
Bill Howard’s
Outdoors hunted in his home state of Mississippi. Another spoke of the fearsome hog he had taken in Georgia. He had patterned a good size buck and knew it would trail in behind a couple of does and a fawn. For some reason, the does never came in that one particular evening. The trail camera doesn’t lie, and they had been consistent, so he figured something was amiss. Then, what he first thought was a bear, caught his vision from the stand. As it came closer he realized it was a hog, about 300 pounds. He unleashed an arrow and the hog screamed as it darted away. Another hunter helped him track it down and he gave the hog to the other hunter. He was not
happy with the hunt. He wanted the buck and this was one of his few chances to hunt that parcel of land. I have met several people over the years who were ecstatic with their trophy, right up until the point where the score was not what they expected, or someone else was successful with something a little bigger. Then, all of a sudden they were no longer satisfied with the hunt, the results of the hunt, or the animal hanging on the wall. I have also met plenty of people over the years who relished the experience of the hunt, or the one moment when man and beast met for the first time. They appreciated the small things whether successful or not. In fact, their definition of success varied from the dissatisfied ones. Their definition was much simpler and yet they seemed to be happier because of it. One of the guys in my group in the competition led after day one. He shot consistently and accurately all day. Several of us
kept close for most of the day, including myself. I had a stretch of four targets that ultimately dropped me from contention. Another went through the same stretch of targets and dropped him from contention also. I rebounded nicely, he struggled even going into day two. The leader, well, you could see the pressure mounting from one target to the next. On day two, he had one bad shot. The next target, he threw another bad shot. A couple of us in the group pulled to the side, and reminded him not to worry. His lead was strong, and he was out there for fun anyway. He relaxed and proceeded to shoot well the rest of the way. Ultimately, he won the Pro/Am in the Hunter class. He was satisfied. We were all satisfied. Bill Howard is a member of North Carolina Bowhunters Association and Pope & Young.

Board of Education addresses 3rd grade reading tests The Yancey County Schools Board of Education has approved the use of a locally-developed alternate assessment plan to show reading proficiency for third graders, in order to meet the strict guidelines of the General Assembly’s Read to Achieve legislation. This is in response to the State Board of Education approving 30 different LEA requests from around the state to use alternative assessments in showing reading proficiency for third grade students and maintain compliance with the legislation. The state board approved the use of the thirty plans by any school system in the state as long as the local board of education would attest to the reliability and validity of the alternate assessment to be used and approve its use. The LEA would then have to inform the State Board, as well as the Department of Public Instruction, about the intent in using an alternate assessment plan. The Board of Education approved an alternate assessment plan that is a hybrid of two other approved plans. The local plan requires a third grade student to be at a Level P (end of third grade level) on the total reading comprehension component of the Reading 3D assessment, and have an Instructional Reading Level of 3.0 on the STAR Reading Test by the end of the school year in order to show proficiency. “YCS feels very confident in our local alternative plan for several reasons,” said Shane Cassida, YCS curriculum/instruction director. “One, we ran all the testing metrics on these two tests and are assured that they provide valid and reliable results in terms of showing reading
proficiency. Two, the tests are correlated well together in that they seem to agree in identifying which students indeed are at grade level and which students are requiring some additional support. Finally, this will not take any additional time away from classroom instruction as 3rd grade teachers were already giving is a rare case of a win-win for all involved.” The local alternative now becomes the fifth way third grade students can show they are reading on grade level by the end of the school year. The other four pathways to proficiency include: • Passing score on the Beginning of Grade reading test – given in August 2013; • Passing score on the upcoming End of Grade reading test – to be given in June; • Passing score on the NC Read to Achieve Alternate Reading Test – to be given in June if EOG is not passed; • Completion of the NC Read to Achieve Reading Portfolio – started Feb. 1. Students only need to show proficiency in one of these pathways. If students are not able to do so by the end of the third grade year, they will be required to attend a six-week summer camp to work on their reading skills before transitioning to the fourth grade. The other “good causes” that exempt a student from the requirements of Read to Achieve include students in the Exceptional Children’s program who are being taught with an alternate curriculum plan. “Having this additional pathway to proficiency will help students show their reading proficiency in
a manner other than a one-day, high stakes testing environment. Some students just do not perform well in those circumstances and are not able to truly show their academic progress over that year,” said Superintendent Dr. Tony Tipton. “This will also allow YCS to truly identify those students in most need of the reading support in the summer reading camp. By serving fewer students in the camp, we will be able to provide more direct, individualized instruction for those students most in need. We are in fact excited about the camp and look forward to helping our students succeed.” All third grade students will still be required to take the EOG
reading test in June, even if they have previously shown proficiency in one of the other pathways, because the results are used as an accountability measure for both the teacher and the school. “It is imperative that students continue to work hard to reach their maximum learning potential,” said Cassida. “We really need parents to encourage students throughout the year to make sure they reach this potential because we all stand to gain by doing so. Student success happens best when we are cooperating partners pulling in the same direction.” Parents with questions should contact their child’s teacher and set up an appointment.

TRAC brings mural building to Bee Log Elementary
For one week, Bee Log Elementary was a buzz with busy hands stitching and painting as the entire school participated in creating a burlap mural depicting their school. And at the end of the week, they all stood back and smiled. At the beginning of February, TRAC teaching artist Cassie Floan asked the students at Bee Log Elementary to tell her what their school meant to them. Each class came up with a list of adjectives. The words swarmed: great, friendly, friendship, small, neat, considerate, bully free, decorative, caring, kind, awesome, unique, nice teachers,
helpful, fun, creative, school of excellence, safe, more educational, opportunities, love, special, nice, playing, great, sharing, PAWsome, school problem solvers, hard workers, attention, cool, fancy, mountains, amazing, fun, teachers, recycling, friends, learn a lot, beautiful, family, super. Students turned those words into pictures - different symbols, people, and activities that represented the school. They combined the images and adjectives and created a mural - stitching with yarn and adding painted self-portraits to make a complete “picture” of their school. The first day they practiced stitching on individual
Boys end season against W. Caldwell The post season for the Mountain Heritage varsity boy’s basketball team came to an end thanks to the athletic West Caldwell Warriors in the first round of the state playoffs. The Cougars hung tough early and went into the half up 35-31, thanks to three-pointers from Alex Cash and Colton Garland. But in the second half the Warriors slowly pulled away to win 80-66. The Cougars were 11-13 overall this season. “I am very proud of this group,” Coach Hank Newson said. “We improved so much from the first of the year. With only having three returners - and four kids who were either first-year players or came back from season-ending injury a year ago - to finish second in the conference behind a very experienced Avery team was a great accomplishment. “I am extremely proud and grateful to our seniors, who did a great job all year,” Newson said. “We are very excited to have a good core back for next year. With commitment and hard work this off season we hope to make a run at the conference championship. “We would like to thank all the fans who showed up all year - especially at our playoff game - and supported us.”

burlap pieces. After that, the school became a hive of activity as everyone - including students, staff, faculty, and parents - took a turn with needle and thread. To identify and personalize their school and 2014, each student painted his or her self-portrait using bright acrylic on canvas. Floan cut out the silhouettes and stitched them onto the mural. “It’s a work in progress. We are still filling in a little with yarn around the children on the bottom of the mural, the mountains on the right side, and the front of the school,” Floan said. “Teachers are letting their students work on this in between and during some
classes; I’ll go in periodically to see the progress and do the final stitching on the sides. Eventually, it will be hung by rods in the school cafeteria.” The size of a twin sheet, this mural is definitely the honey around Bee Log Elementary.

Use common sense when potty training Q: I’ve been using the method described in your toilet-training book with my 18-monthold daughter and she’s been doing great during the day. She rarely has an accident. However, I’m still using a diaper at nap-time and during the night (waiting for some consistency in dryness before taking that away). Is that correct? The only problem is she’s figured out the routine and now only poops in her diaper when I put her down to sleep. She has not gone poop on the potty during the day for several weeks. Is that cause for concern? Should I take away the diapers totally? I don’t want to create a bad habit. Thanks! A: You (and your daughter, of course) are doing just fine. In fact, you’re both doing great and are living proof of the incontrovertible fact that pediatricians (not all, but certainly most) have been giving very bad toilet-training advice for the past 45 years. Specifically, they’ve been promoting the “child-centered” philosophy that has caused toilet training to become such a huge problem during this same time period. They can be forgiven for believing that the pediatrician responsible for cutting this philosophy out of whole cloth knew what he was talking about, but it’s time for them to begin doing major atonement.
Living
with
children
Keep up the good common sense! And don’t become discouraged, much less anxious, if your daughter has a setback now and then. There will be, as you’ve already discovered, some bumps in the road. In that regard, the fact that she’s waiting until nap time or night time to poop is no cause whatsoever for concern. It may take a while - several months, perhaps - but this will eventually resolve itself. In the meantime, celebrate her success and pay little to no attention to her reticence to use the potty for pooping. Having said that, there are some strategies that might move this process along. One especially creative parent folded a diaper in the bowl of the potty and told her child that the doctor had said he should poop in his diaper that way. The child promptly pooped in
the diaper-lined potty and continued to do so from that point forward. That’s a testament to thinking outside the box if there ever was one! It’s also interesting to note that prior to the 1960s, when everything parenting in America began to go to Hades in a hand-basket, parents generally poop-trained before they peetrained. Also, potty seats attached to the seat on the big toilet, so when a child was on the potty, he couldn’t get off very easily if at all. When a child was on schedule to poop, his parents would put him on the potty and walk off. When the child pooped, he called his parents. They’d come in, help him down and clean him off. In other words, on-thefloor potties are part of the problem because children can get off them at will (but the advantage, of course, is they can also get on them without parent help). The sorta-kinda good news is that newer (but in my estimation, somewhat less effective) versions of the “old” potties can still be had. I found some on www. diapers.com, for example. You might want to consider that option. In any case, stay the course. In the final analysis, patience will be the cure! Family psychologist John Rosemond answers questions at www.rosemond.com.
