Will there be horses in the parade? By Jonathan Austin Yancey County News A small notice in the paper last week has blown into a controversy that has WLOS news shining a spotlight on Yancey County. The issue? Whether horses will be allowed in the upcoming Christmas parade. The Yancey County / Burnsville Chamber of Commerce announced last week that no horses would be allowed in the Christmas parade “due
to past history and insurance liability.” That led to the creation of a Facebook page named “No Horses in the Christmas Parade” and comments from residents like “If there (aren’t) going to be horses in the Christmas parade I won’t be going, it’s that simple!” The comments brought the television news to town, and the story Photo by Jonathan Austin/Yancey County News was featured on the An image from a past Burnsville Christmas Parade, and the horses being ridden up West Main local newscasts Street. The Chamber of Commerce said no horses will be allowed in the coming Dec. 7 parade, See page 3 but now is debating whether or not to allow them.

Yancey Hospice offers ‘care on your terms’
As we approach National Hospice Awareness Month, we at Yancey Hospice are truly blessed for the privilege of being part of the lives of our patients and families within our community. While the month of November is designated National Hospice Awareness Month, the reality is that end of life care can be needed by anyone, at any time. The hospice philosophy is “Care on Your Terms.” Hospice care focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill or seriously ill patient’s pain and symptoms, and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs. Hospice care also involves assistance for patients’ families to help them cope with what is happening and provide care, education and support to keep the patient at home. Care is delivered by a qualified team of professional doctors, nurses, social workers, clergy and volunteers. Choosing hospice care can be a difficult decision for patients and
their families. Too often people hesitate to explore the hospice option, because they are confused about hospice services or they believe it is only for the last days of a patient’s life. We believe that quality of life can and should be enriched at all stages. Hospice care makes the most impact on the lives of our patients and their families when it is chosen early in the disease progression. Receiving hospice services begins with a request for those services. This may come from a doctor, hospital discharge planner, nurse, a family member or directly from the patient. This process begins by calling our office or contacting any of our staff. This is known as a referral to “evaluate and admit to hospice services if appropriate.” It is your choice to elect the 100% paid hospice benefit available through Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance companies. Yancey Hospice serves patients who reside in their homes,
assisted living and long-term care facilities throughout Yancey, Mitchell and Madison counties. Yancey Hospice began as a volunteer organization in 1982 and became Medicare certified in 1984. Since its inception, Yancey Hospice has provided quality medical, emotional, spiritual, and social support to the residents of our community. We are members of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, Association for Home & Hospice Care of North Carolina, and the Carolinas Center for Hospice and End of Life Care. Yancey Hospice was one of only two WNC hospice agencies named a DEYTA 2013 Hospice Honors recipient, a prestigious honor recognizing hospice agencies providing the best patient care as rated by the patient’s caregiver. As we reflect on the past, our success is attributed to the community support from our friends, family, church members, fellow residents, physicians, and
other area healthcare providers. As we ponder the future, we know our subsistence is dependent on your continued support. While we’ve been serving our community for over 30 years, don’t be misled that hospice is hospice. There are other hospices providing services within our community. We are not affiliated with any other hospice and it is imperative that you ask for Yancey Hospice by name. You have the right to choose your hospice provider, and that choice is protected by law. We’re your local hospice and we honor the privilege of providing service to our community. Please call Yancey Hospice at 682-9675 with any questions or requests for a guest speaker to make a presentation to your church, club or other organization. Ronnie Gregory Yancey Hospice Executive Director
Drug Take Back set for this Saturday Community makes Another Drug Take Back event will be held this weekend at three area pharmacies. Residents of Yancey and Mitchell counties can help prevent pill abuse and theft by taking expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs for disposal to the Prescription Pad Pharmacy in Burnsville, the CVS Pharmacy in Spruce Pine and the Bakersville Pharmacy. The drug turn in is Saturday, Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This service is free and anonymous; no questions asked. “Drugs flushed away can harm our waterways, but drugs tossed into the trash can find their way into the hands of the wrong person and can harm or kill our children and young people,” said Dr. Daniel Barron, AMY Library regional director and MitchellYancey Substance Abuse Task Force executive committee member. “The only safe way to
dispose of them is to turn them in to a legal deposit box.” Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet. The traditional method for disposing unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards. If turning in prescription drugs, leave the pills in the original container with any personal information (name, etc.) marked out. Leaving the pills in the original container is only for helping authorities in identifying the drugs that are turned in. For more information, call Liz Elkins at the Prescription Pad at 678-3914 or Graham Children’s Health Services at 682-7899.

home tour a success
For the fourth straight year, community support led to the success of The Mayland Community College Foundation’s annual Yancey County Dream Home Tour. This year ’s tour featured five amazing homes: two in town, one at Celo, one near the Mitchell County line and one at Mountain Air. Each of this year’s homes featured special geographic elements, such as panoramic views and splashing backyard waterways, causing this year’s repeat tour-goers to declare this the “best tour yet.” The tour requires months of planning as well as the tireless commitment of over 50 volunteers, many of them members of the Yancey County community. The tour highlights the best that Yancey County has to offer: beautiful homes, spectacular fall foliage and the caring support of a community that values education. Proceeds from the Dream Home Tour benefit projects at Mayland’s Yancey campus and the Intelligent Choice Scholarship, which is awarded to a top graduating senior from
Mountain Heritage High School. Lauren Reecer received this award for fall 2013. Special thanks belong to Earl and Char Koops, Darrell Heasley and Rebecca Schmidt, David and Patty McIntosh, Michael and Patte Myers, and Pat and Janet Hepburn for opening their homes for the tour. The Foundation is grateful to the Yancey County Chamber of Commerce and to the Yancey County Transportation Authority for continued assistance. A Touch of Cass, Ye Olde Country Store, OOAK Gallery, and WKYK/WTOE also helped translate this year ’s dream of a tour into a successful reality. The tour is the brainchild of Foundation Board member Bill Baker, whose vision for the past four years has beautifully combined his passion for education and his love for Yancey County. Plans are already under way for the 2014 tour, set for Saturday, Oct. 11. Contact the Foundation office for more information.

No horses in the parade?
From the front Monday night. Now, the decision to eliminate horses seems to have been withdrawn as the chamber board of directors mulls options. “The decision’s not been made yet,” said Chamber Executive Director Ginger Johnson. The original plan was to ban horses, she said, but the response has led the chamber to look for alternatives, she said. “This is something that the board is looking at. They are discussing several options,” Johnson said. Johnson said children were at risk of injury due to the horses at or after last year’s Christmas parade. “I’m not worried about insurance. I’m worried about people getting hurt.” Last year an ambulance was called after reports
that a rider was also thrown from a horse, and others said riders led horses through a group of children on a grassy lot off U.S. 19E. On the Facebook page, some suggested that riders and horses joined the parade last year without formally applying to be part of the parade. Others said the unruly riders wouldn’t be returning. Johnson said she wanted to stress that she isn’t solely worried about insurance or liability. She said she is worried that someone will be hurt. Last year “there were a couple of times I was frightened for people,” she said. “I worry about the children sitting at the curb.” The annual Christmas parade is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7 at 3 p.m. All entries must pre-register by Nov. 11.
Allen Bryant of the Ramseytown community says he can’t understand blaming all riders for the actions of a few. “I think there are other solutions the chamber could explore. They have the right - if they see someone acting out” or misbehaving, “they have the right to tell them they cannot ride” in the parade, he said. But “horses are part of our heritage,” and a traditional part of the Burnsville Christmas parade, he said. Some people think horses can get spooked, he said, but “If I didn’t feel comfortable with the horse I wouldn’t bring it” to the parade. Bryant said he and others feel strongly that horses should be allowed in the parade. “If you don’t stand up for what you believe in, what are you worth?”
Family buys galax facility From the front from Lucille and John Griffin, and “when we bought it we were shipping about 25 boxes a week.” Each box held 5,000 galax leaves, which are used in ornamental floral decorations and as background greenery for displays and even salads. Today, with a 4,000-plus square foot building and two refrigerated rooms they are shipping much more in a variety of containers. “We ship a box of 5,000,” Angie said, or half a box, or a quarter box. Angie say they helped introduce the concept of giving galax picking
a formal season, and a time when it can rejuvenate. “Used to, they pulled year round,” Marty said. Today, “if we’re going to have a crop we’ve got to protect it.” No harvesting is allowed from May 1 through June 15. The Murphys begin buying leaves in June. Leaf pickers working on government land now must get a permit from a federal office in Mars Hill. Murphy’s Greenery employs three full-time staff and other parttime workers. The new location is 5040 N.C. 80 South. The telephone is 675-1351.
School plans cancer fighting event Uniting to support the fighters, admire the survivors, and honor the taken, Mountain Heritage High School will be hosting the 5th annual Cheer, Dance & Talent Exhibition on Monday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. in the gym. There will be a variety of performances including: cheer performances from Mountain Heritage cheerleaders, other area cheer & dance t e a m s , Ya n c e y middle schools cheerleaders, and YCLA cheerleaders.
Everyone is welcome as a spectator or performer. Admission to the event is any level of donation (all proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society.) Guest speaker Lauren Ponder Boggs,
local cancer survivor and former Erwin cheerleader, will be opening the event. Many prize winning games and various merchandise and concessions will be available.

Just say
‘NO’ to ‘design
guidelines’ When I made the decision to not seek another term as Burnsville mayor I had planned to write you and talk about the progress we have made in rebuilding town finances; how we had secured grant funds to build water, sewer and sidewalk projects, and kept the town solvent. However, since July 26 I find myself in the awkward position of defending every resident and property owner against the most burdensome property restrictions I have ever seen. These ‘design guidelines’ - adopted in a “hurry, hurry and fix it later” fashion - are not what representative government is supposed to do. The town council refused to let you vote your approval or disapproval. So I am asking you to write in my name - Danny McIntosh - on the ballot for
a seat on the town council so I can keep town government open and accessible to you. Please write me in on your ballot on Election Day.
“There is never a right time to do the wrong thing.”
It is important to all the residents of Yancey County that businesses are allowed to flourish in our town. Visitors apparently like us for what we are. I believe a town should provide fire and police protection, should maintain water and sewer service, streetlights, solid waste and sidewalks. I do not approve of the new 39-page law - the design guidelines - that are so restrictive that new business is threatened, and property owners will not be able to sell or lease buildings or land. Because of this ill-formed law, core services provided in Burnsville - the county seat - will dwindle to the point that even well-established businesses will suffer and local folks will be forced to go elsewhere for the things they need. All because some town leaders want to tell business owners and landowners how their property needs to ‘look’. Five elected councillors appointed five members of the planning board. These 10 people want to tell you how your business needs to ‘look’. This is way too much government for our small town.
The council refused to let residents vote on the guidelines, they refused to let the town attorney look at the proposed guidelines, and they even refused to obey the rules when they called the public hearing;. Why? Because they don’t want to hear your opinion! If you are a resident of Burnsville I ask you to write my name in on the ballot for a council seat so I can work to keep Burnsville the local commerce center. I will work to see that town services are provided and that our town resources are managed effectively. If you need a ride to the polls just call me at 682-2365 or 284-0108.

The Cherokee were also responsible for the naming of the gorge indirectly. During an expedition in the mid 1700s, explorer William Linville and his son were captured by the Cherokee and scalped. Gen. Griffith Rutherford also used the ridge as a rendezvous point named Cathey’s Fort in battle with the Cherokee in 1776. The gorge offers dozens of trails ranging from easy to moderate to difficult.

Star-gazing evening set for Nov. 2 Stars on the Square, an evening full of stargazing for astronomy aficionados, is Saturday, Nov. 2, at Burnsville’s town square. The free event is sponsored by the Blue Ridge Astronomy Group, whose members share their highpowered telescopes with everyone who attends. Among the objects to be viewed are the great Andromeda galaxy, Ring Nebula, Swan Nebula, star clusters and multiple star systems. As always the traffic around the square will be detoured and the lights on the square will be turned off to maximize the viewing experience. Attendees will also receive information about a new public astronomical observatory that Mayland Community College is building near Burnsville. “We’ll have the latest blueprints
of the roll-off-roof observatory building,” says Bob Hampton, one of the event organizers. “And we’ll have photos of a telescope similar to the giant 34-inch telescope that will be the centerpiece of the observatory.” Starry skies are integral to Burnsville’s heritage as the town derives its name from naval captain Otway Burns, who used the stars to navigate his ships. An iconic statue of Burns – a hero in the War of 1812 – stands sentry over the town square. The hours for Stars on the Square are 7 to 11 p.m., and there’s no charge for admission. In the case of clouds or inclement weather, the event will be moved to Nov. 9. For more information, contact Bob Hampton at (828) 6754449, or go online to: www. BlueRidgeAstronomyGroup.com.

They’re just pampered, spoiled and entitled teens The “their biology makes them do it!” hypothesis concerning the oft-horrid behavior of today’s teens keeps on rolling along, charming parents of said teens into the comforting belief that said behavior has absolutely nothing to do with their parenting. The most recent example appeared as a October 16, Wall Street Journal article that reviewed a study recently published in the journal Developmental Psychology. It’s now clear, says said article, that “the brain regions that support social cognition” - those that support the development of empathy “continue to change dramatically” during the teen years. They aren’t fully developed. Given that there are plenty of children who enter the teen years with well-developed empathy, do not bully other children, are not petulant, moody, disrespectful of authority, and otherwise horrid, the study in question is nothing but the latest exercise in academic mumbo-jumbo by the folks who want you to believe the deterministic myth that bad behavior is the result of things like hormones, biochemical imbalances, and inadequate blood supply to the left frontal lobe, all, of course, the result of genes (which were inherited from the child’s father). I recently spoke with an individual who has spent a good amount of time working with youth in African villages, where one teacher is often found teaching close to 100 children.
Living
with
children
During her tenure in these villages, my friend saw but one child whose classroom behavior was out of line. The Wall Street Journal says “The teen years are often fraught with door-slamming, eye-rolling, and seeming insensitivity….” Correction: That would be teenagers in the United States, and not all of them by any means. Do teens in Africa have abnormal biology? How about those American teens who are not petulant, moody, insensitive, and disrespectful? What about teens 50-plus years ago? We did not slam doors, isolate ourselves in our rooms, refuse to interact with family members for days at a time, or engage in the sort of narcissistic drama that characterizes so many of today’s adolescents. Neither did teens in the 1830s, whom Toqueville, in “Democracy in America,” described as trustworthy, hard-working, responsible members of their communities. It is also well known that brain structures
and functionality reflect prior training. I am led, by the preponderance of evidence contradicting the research in question, to conclude that teens who are self-dramatic, disrespectful, and lacking in empathy are the product of precisely what the study’s authors say they are not: homes in which they have been pampered, spoiled, entitled, and told that the only people on the planet who really matter are them. Of significance are consistent research findings to the effect that high selfesteem - the brass ring of American parenting since the early 1970s - is incompatible with empathy and respect for others and that bullies have high self-esteem. One trains a child to pay attention and respond functionally to the needs of others. That does not happen magically. Historically, such social training involved rigorous teaching of social courtesies, aka good manners. The fact is that all too many of today’s parents are too busy running their children from one extracurricular activity to another to spend adequate time teaching them that the world doesn’t revolve around them, that other people matter. The researchers in question propose to let these parents off the hook. Their attempt at parenting absolution makes no sense, but it will sell. Family psychologist John Rosemond answers parents’ questions on his web site at www.rosemond.com.
Mayland celebrates Medical Assisting Recognition week Mayland Community College Medical Assisting students are celebrating Medical Assisting Recognition Week this week. Every year, Medical Assistants Recognition Week is celebrated during the third full week in October. “The students at Mayland want to wish all medical assistants a wonderful week,” said Mayland medical assisting student Corey Robinson. “We have enjoyed working along side with them and appreciate all the hard work they do.” Mayland’s Medical Assisting Program prepares multi-skilled health care professionals qualified to perform administrative, clinical, and laboratory procedures. Certified medical assistants are in high demand due to a need to employ a more versatile healthcare worker who can perform administrative, clinical and lab procedures. According to the US Department of Labor, medical assistants will remain in high demand through the year 2018. “I think medical assisting is a
