Armed Quilt for the canine and feline robber hits Hot Spot

By Jonathan Austin Yancey County News The Hot Spot convenience store at 704 East Main St., Burnsville, was robbed by an armed individual late Monday night.

The armed robbery is the latest in a string of business invasions in Burnsville.

Burnsville Police Chief Brian Buchanan issued a statement saying that “On 8/27/2012 at 11:44 p.m., Burnsville police officers responded to the Hot Spot in reference to a robbery that had just occurred.”

Canipe catches up with an old Army buddy

By Jonathan Austin Yancey County News C.C. Canipe of Green Mountain was so excited last week. He was on the road, traveling down to Andrews to visit a buddy who he’d known in Army basic training but hadn’t seen since.

Well, C.C. had actually seen his old buddy Dave Bristol many times.

He’d seen Bristol on television, managing the Cincinnati Reds in the 1960s, managing the Milwaukee Brewers in the 1970s, as the manager Ted Turner fired one day in 1977 – Turner said he’d manage the team

himself - and rehired the next day when the baseball commissioner said an owner couldn’t be team manager. If Canipe saw Bristol again it was probably on television in 1979 or 1980 as manager of the San Francisco Giants.

The two were both big boys from Western North Carolina when they went to basic training in 1953 at Ft. Jackson, S.C. Their bunks were side by side, so they chatted each morning as they made their beds, or late at night as they drifted off to sleep. C.C. says he recalls many days standing out in the hot South

Carolina sun, but commanders often tasked Bristol to pick up a bat and glove to give the Ft. Jackson ball team an extra edge.

“The last time I saw him was July 1953,” Canipe said Tuesday. “We didn’t meet again until last Tuesday” when Canipe drove to Andrews – out west of Franklin – to look up his old Army friend.

“I walked up to him and said, ‘I bet you don’t remember me,’” Canipe said. “He looked at me and wasn’t sure. Once we got talking he just grinned” with the memories See Page 11

Who pulled me over, and why did they stop me?

I am a young, married, pregnant female living in Western North Carolina.My husband and I both hold down steady jobs and pretty much keep to ourselves. We try not to cause any problems with anyone.

However, on Saturday Aug. 25, I was followed for approximately an hour by a white blazer with tinted windows around Spruce Pine. The blazer kept its distance but followed me everywhere I went. I entered a local Wal-mart and believe that I was followed into the store by a gentleman, possibly from one of the vehicles. This man was on every aisle I went down and left seconds after I did.

As I left the parking lot, I saw the Blazer again, but now it was joined by a large, white van with tinted windows.

Both vehicles proceeded to followed me to McDonalds and then through the upper part of town. The blazer then pulled me over using two blue lights, one in each headlight.

Two males, both wearing khaki pants and white dress shirts, exited the vehicle and one approached my window. Two other males, exited the van, but kept their distance.

Here’s how I recall the conversation: Male: “License and registration.” (I hand it to him.)

Myself: “Can you tell me why I have been pulled over?” (I had done nothing illegal to be pulled over for.)

The man looks at me, ignores the question completely and walks back to the other man by the Blazer. They are there for a minute or so before he returns.

Male: “Can we search your car?”

Myself: “Can you give me a reasonable cause to do so, sir?” (I was trying to be

as respectful as possible, but I know my rights. I am at least entitled to a reason. I had nothing to hide, but that’s not the point.

I have rights, too.)

Male: “We were just admiring your bumper stickers.”

(There is absolutely nothing wrong with my bumper stickers. I have two; one on each side of the car. They both support one of my favorite local stores. They are not vulgar or inappropriate in any way. They are actually rather happy and friendly. One is white and simply says ‘I (heart) Pandora’s Dreams.’

Then it’s followed by the store information.

The other is black with a tie-dye peace sign and just has the store information on it. I purchased these bumper stickers because I really enjoy shopping at Pandora’s Dream.

However, the best part is, all the money made from them (as well as a portion of anything else sold) is donated to the Smiling Foundation, a wonderful organization that helps children that are born with cleft lips, etc.)

I was dumbfounded to say the least.

Myself: “I don’t think my lawyer will agree that is a reasonable cause to search my vehicle. (I stopped for a moment and waited for a response; when I received none I continued on.) Sir, can I ask again why did I get pulled over?

The man ignored me again and walked away. He spoke to the other man in the Blazer for another minute before returning and handing me my license and registration back.

Male: “You have a nice day, ma’am.” (He then turns and climbs back into the Blazer.)

What really confuses me is the fact that

when I called my local sheriff’s office they seemed very unconcerned. They stated someone would call me back when they knew something. I waited a fair amount of time and called around to other sources looking for the next step on the ladder to find out what was going on.

The local police then called and said they had no idea who was. They were just as perplexed as I was. They said they checked every possible source that could have pulled me over. No one claimed to be in the area at the time. I received word-of-mouth later that this same thing had happened to three or so other people as well. The men in the vehicles that flashed blue lights never identified themselves. There were no badges that I saw. Nothing was marked in anyway, their clothes, the cars, or otherwise. They couldn’t give me a legitimate reason for anything they did.

I have seen the news. I know what happens when young women get pulled over by people pretending to be cops. I never thought in a million years it would happen here. I also assumed if the local police had no idea who it was, should they not take a statement or some form of action? They have done neither at this point.

I have done nothing wrong. I am a lawabiding citizen, just trying to raise a family with my husband. However, despite who I am, I nor anyone else, deserve to have their rights violated without cause. We also deserve appropriate action to make us feel safe again.

I urge everyone to be careful and be safe.

Growers suggest options to spraying by FBEMC

We have recently been given a copy of notes taken by some organic farmers and gardeners during a meeting with the French Broad Electric management. These notes were particularly disturbing since there are many of us growing grapes organically and biodynamically as well as farming organically here in Madison County.

The issue of spraying to control vegetative

To be a voice, and to allow the voices of our community to be heard.

encroachment on the French Broad Electric (FBE) Right of Way (ROW) has rapidly become extremely controversial - and for good reason. Clearly the electric company has a problem that it is trying to address. FBE says they are using spray to help make costs as reasonable as possible for their rate payers. We have no reason to doubt that claim.

But there are far more people involved than just rate payers. Farmers, especially organic farmers and grape growers are significantly affected. While FBE is trying to keep bills low, they are also threatening the agricultural harvest and the farmer’s and grower’s income.

There may be another way out of this dilemma.

FBE has shared information freely and they should be commended for that. They currently expense $1.50 for every foot of their 4000 miles of ROW. That is 21,120,000 feet of ROW. FBE has indicated that they hope to get their cost per foot down to $.30. If you multiply the $.30 x the total feet you get a cost of $6,336,000. That is a significant total saving and far less than the $31,680,000 they state they are currently spending. By changing their ROW maintenance plan from cutting to defoliating FBE is going to save a great deal of money for their rate payers. But suppose FBE changed from contracting to self maintenance. What could happen then?

Consider this - While we do not know all the ins and outs of maintaining a ROW, what if six men were employed on a full time basis and each one had a heavy duty 4WD tractor equipped with a powerful bush hogging machine and any other necessary equipment. Each man should be able to average about 2-3 miles of bush hogging an hour. By working together and individually, each man creating their own swath, the ROW could be maintained by these six men working seven hours a day from April to November. In fact, if we allowed a salary of $45,000 per year and added

benefits, employee insurance, supervision, safety insurances, transportation and new equipment annually as needed, they still would be barely over $1,200,000 annually with very generous estimations. If FBE would prefer to contract rather than employ, why not contract with experienced farmers to do sections of the right of way as a way to supplement their income rather than corporations?

What about contracting with the Department of Corrections to train inmates to learn and do right of way maintenance?

From our point of view, FBE has shown they have the resources to address this issue in a way that would not involve harmful spraying. We did the math. Certainly there are other issues that enter the FBE calculation, however ROW maintenance may be able to be done economically if FBE changes their operating style. We believe that ROW maintenance can be done in a way that does not harm our resources or our agricultural backbone.

It is also important to remind the French Broad Electric Membership Corporation that they are a cooperative. They serve members. We believe that FBE has tried hard to serve its members and by addressing herbicide spraying now, they will also be addressing the needs of many of its members in the future on this vital issue.

If the issue of defoliating spraying can be resolved then FBE, the railroads, and road maintenance organizations will also be able to reduce funding set asides for litigation related to the spray drift damage they cause. Together we must find a way to prevent killing the goose that will lay the golden eggs for the future of viticulture and agriculture in the mountains.

Utility rates cited as reason Mars Hill industry is leaving

By Melissa Dean News-Record & Sentinel Representatives with Advanced Superabrasives in Mars Hill have announced that the company will soon put their facility on the market and relocate.

A date has yet to be set, although engineering manager Jonathan Szucs confirmed that the Mars Hill-based company does have plans to relocate.

“We are moving 100 percent,” said Szucs, in a phone interview. “The question is just when and where.”

Advanced Superabrasives, originally founded in 1993 as Advanced Tools, moved from Asheville to Mars Hill in 2000. The company manufactures resin-bonded diamond and CBN grinding wheels. It built two tools an abrasion tool and a polisher - that are on the

Curiousity rover that recently landed on Mars Szucs said that the move is sparked by the need for expansion coupled with the need for a “more competitive utilities market,” citing lower utility rates and the high need for enhanced fiber optics. “That is key to our expansion,” said Szucs.

The company, which currently employees 32 people, has hopes to expand by at least 40 new employees over the next few years, according to Szucs.

“There are a lot of rumors going around, but we are not going bankrupt,” said Suzcs, who added that it was decided it would be cheaper to sell their current facility than attempt to expand in Mars Hill.

Mars Hill Town Manager Darhyl Boone said that once vacant, the building could provide for a new company to set roots in Mars Hill, but

until then the relocation could have a negative effect economically on the town.

“We have spoken with them and we did everything possible on our end to try to convince them to stay,” Boone said.

Szucs said that while they have not made a decision as to where the company will relocate, they are looking into Erwin, Tenn., or Buncombe County to allow current employees to remain at the company.

“The goal is to keep jobs,” said Suzcs.

According to the company’s website, the original building in Asheville was a 3,000-square-foot facility. Within two years it expanded with the addition of another 3,000 square feet. The Mars Hill facility that will be sold contains 37,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space.

Local gardens have lots left for home canning

Gardens have produced an bounty of beautiful vegetables this summer, and there seem to still be plenty of vegetables and fruits still available at the local farmers’ markets. So, you still have time to preserve some nutritious locally grown vegetables and fruits for winter use.

There have been over 60 food preservation class registrations this summer and class participants are sharing food preservation information with others.

Peppers plants have produced well this year and people are pickling peppers, canning salsa, and freezing peppers for use in winter recipes.

One of the long time dinner time favorites is stuffed peppers. So, get out one of your old stuffed pepper recipes and enjoy the unique flavor of pepper for a tasty eat at home dinner.

If you don’t have a recipe, use a variety if vegetables from the garden to stuff the peppers like a few cubes of eggplant, a little bit of sliced onion, some cherry tomatoes, and fresh herbs.

After you sliced the pepper in half and remove the seeds, you can roast it by placing it under the oven broiler for a few minutes, until the skins blister.

While the peppers roast, you can saute’ your choice of cut vegetables for the stuffing in a little olive oil, adding tomatoes the last couple of minutes. Then place the peppers in an oven save casserole dish that has a light coating of

Louise Fowler Fischer

Louise Fowler Fischer, 85, died in her Spruce Pine home following an extended illness on August 27, 2012. A native of Pensacola, she was born on Nov. 10, 1926, to John and Myrtle Atkins. She left home after graduation to marry John M. Fowler, and they moved to San Francisco, Calif., to begin their family. Although John predeceased her in 1966, together they raised four children, Don, Tanya, Steve and Kymra, primarily in Charlotte. The three surviving children are Donald S. Fowler and wife, Jean, of Oak Island; John Stephen Fowler and wife, Karen, of Charlotte; and Kymra Fowler Stewart and husband, Billy, of Spruce Pine.

Louise was employed in office work and then as a Realtor, but she was primarily a hard working, loyal mother who managed to care for four children after her husband’s early death. Later in life, she remarried and purchased and developed a small island in Florida, Buena Vista, where she enjoyed fishing and boating, gardening, bridge, traveling and being with friends and family for over a decade. She later lived in Asheville, was again widowed, and relocated to Spruce Pine about ten years ago.

Girl says severe trauma not caused by sexual assault

By Jonathan Austin Yancey County News

Local law officials are stymied after a 15-year-old girl suffered severe trauma suggestive of a rape, but the girl says no one assaulted her and her injuries were sustained in a simple accident.

The Yancey County Sheriff’s office was called to Bill Allen Branch Road on Aug. 16 after reports “of a 15-year-old female that had suffered severe vaginal trauma,” said Burnsville Police Chief Brian Buchanan. “The female was transported by EMS due to the trauma and associated blood loss,” Buchanan said.

The police department became involved in

the case after the girl told EMS workers that she sustained the injuries when she “ran into a car door at Pizza Hut,” which is in police jurisdiction.

Buchanan said the teenager was hospitalized at Memorial Mission Hospital “and underwent treatment, which I am told included a surgical procedure.”

Though officers and medical personnel may think the injuries suggest that a sexual assault occurred, “she has been interviewed on several occasions and continues to state that no one assaulted her and that any injuries were accidental.”

The Yancey County News asked Buchanan how the girl said she got from Pizza Hut to

Bill Allen Branch Road. He said she had met her sister at Pizza Hut “and traveled with her from there to Bill Allen Branch. It is my understanding that she did not disclose any injuries to her sister until they were on their way to Bill Allen Branch. Her sister called for EMS.” Buchanan said health care privacy regulations limit what information can be release about the injuries, and as there is no formal criminal complaint he can’t comment on whether there is irrefutable evidence that a rape occurred. “It is very difficult to pursue any type of criminal investigation when the victim refuses to change her statement that her injuries were accidental,” he said.

Poets to speak at Writers at Home series The 2012 Writers at Home fall series, sponsored by UNC Asheville’s Great Smokies Writing Program (GSWP), begins with readings by distinguished poets Holly Iglesias, Sebastian Matthews and Katherine Soniat. The readings take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 16, at Malaprop’s Bookstore/Café, 55 Haywood St., downtown Asheville. Writers at Home events are free and open to the public.

Holly Iglesias was the only North Carolina writer to be awarded

a prestigious Creative Writing Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts during the NEA’s last round of poetry awards.

She is the author of three poetry collections: “Fruta Bomba” (Q Ave Press, 2012), “Angles of Approach” (White Pine Press, 2010), and “Souvenirs of a Shrunken World” (Kore Press, 2008). Her poems have been published in numerous literary journals.

Sebastian Matthews is the author of the poetry collections “Miracle Day:

Mid-Life Songs” and “We Generous” (Red Hen Press, 2012 and 2007, respectively), and the memoir, “In My Father’s Footsteps” (W.W. Norton & Company, 2003). He is currently at work on a novel and a collection of essays on brotherhood. Matthews teaches in the Low-Residency MFA Program at Queens University, at Warren Wilson College, and in the GSWP. Katherine Soniat’s sixth collection of poetry, “A Raft, A Boat, A Bridge,” was published this summer by Dream

Horse Press. Her previous collection, “The Swing Girl,” (Louisiana State University Press) was selected as winner of the A.O. Young Award for Best Collection of 2011 by the Poetry Council of North Carolina.

Her “A Shared Life” won the Iowa Poetry Prize, and a Virginia Prize for Poetry. Her work has also appeared in many literary journals and magazines.

Soniat was associate professor of English at Virginia Tech and was awarded emeritus status upon her retirement.

Schools ranked higher in state performance

YCS Press Release Ya n c e y C o u n t y Middle Schools have been leading the Western Region of North Carolina for many years in academic performance when compared to other Title I traditional middle schools.

Superintendent Dr. Tony Tipton learned last week that these schools can now add state rankings to their list of credentials.

“Both our middle school principals recognize the benefit of friendly competition and collaboration that has contributed to this success. While pushing each other i n d i v i d u a l l y, w e become better as a whole,” stated Dr. Tipton.

While East Yancey and Cane River have ranked in the top of Region 8 for several years and are currently #1 (EYMS) and # 2 (CRMS) , these schools have now moved into #3 (EYMS) and #4 (CRMS) at the state level for academic

performance. When combining the two schools’ scores, Ya n c e y C o u n t y is ranked #1 in the state for middle school academic performance.

These rankings are based on data collected from all middle schools that are identified as Title I Schools – 174 total across North Carolina.

Title I Schools are defined as having 50% or more of the student population considered economically disadvantaged.

This information is drawn from the free and reduced lunch applications.

EYMS Principal Rick Tipton referenced his favorite quote of Greek Philosopher Aristotle, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”

P r i n c i p a l Ti p t o n continued by stating, “When you look at our performance at East Yancey over the years, you are just simply seeing what we do and these numbers

validate that region and state-wide now.

We are very proud of our history of success, not just at East Yancey, but as Yancey County Schools as whole. I am very proud of our students, parents and staff for striving daily to make excellence a habit.”

Cane River Principal Alton Robinson added, “This recognition is a true reflection of the high standards s e t b y Ya n c e y County Schools.

Cane River Middle School is blessed with quality faculty, staff, students, parents and community. With this quality of people, I was not surprised when we were notified that we are a top performing Title I School, ranking # 2 in the Region and # 4 in the State.” Mr. Robinson added, “After all, CRMS was a 2011 Title I Distinguished School Nominee for Sustained Student Achievement.

These rankings are a true reflection of our combined efforts at

CRMS. It is an honor and privilege to be the principal of Cane River and we certainly will strive to continue the trend of academic success.”

“While we are certainly proud of our middle school staff, students and administrators for receiving this recognition, we understand the hard work that students, parents and teachers do at the elementary

level in preparing students for successful transition to the middle school environment and academic challenges. It takes commitment from the

entire community. We are fortunate to have tremendous parent support at all levels across the county,” states Dr. Tipton.

Heritage drops game to roaring Tigers

By Jonathan Austin Yancey County News The Rosman Tigers held off the Mountain Heritage Cougars Friday to win 30-27 in the season-opening home game at Briggs Stadium.

The Cougars started the evening well as they received the kickoff and moved the ball downfield to set up quarterback Trevor Robinson’s nine-yard scamper to take the lead. But Rosman responded and the game settled into a scoring trade.

Jake McClellen scored the second Heritage touchdown on a 42-yard pass at 8:39 in the second quarter, but Rosman went on top with 3:53 to go in the first half.

The two teams traded downs until Heritage took the ball with 30 seconds to go in the second quarter and began a drive to tie it up. The last play of the half was a long pass from Robinson to Lucas King at the fouryard line, but a Tiger ad proof approval defender shoved King out of bounds before Natural Awakenings - WNC/N. Ga.

Yancey situated to be top stargazing site on East Coast

By Jonathan Austin Yancey County News Yancey County is dark, and that’s what amateur astronomers like about it.

The county’s distance from urban lights and the fact that its tall mountain peaks block ambient light from the surrounding area means some of the best night-sky viewing on the East Coast is available right here. Amateur astronomers are flocking here from the piedmont, and at least a few have bought property to build their own private observatories with top-ofthe-line telescopes.

They say other areas in Pennsylvania or Virginia officially have ‘darker’ ratings than Yancey, but the pollution in those places makes night-time viewing m o r e d i f f i c u l t . Tw o local astronomers have compared photographs taken at the same moment in Yancey and the darker locations to the north, and they say the Yancey images are sharper and show more of the cosmos.

The county is about to secure its spot as a top stargazing destination with the installation of the state’s largest telescope, which will be housed at the EnergyXchange facility at the old landfill off N.C. 80 North.

“This is going to be the largest telescope in North Carolina, and the largest ‘dark sky’ telescope in the southeast,” said Bob Hampton a local astronomer. “There is one larger telescope (in the Southeast) in Atlanta, but with the (urban) light pollution they’re limited to the moon and the planets.”

The new telescope planned for Yancey will measure 34 inches in diameter, he said. “The dimmer things; the galaxies, the nebulas, we’ll have a front row seat for those.”

Currently, the biggest telescopes in North Carolina are at Appalachian State University and one at and Three Colleges Observatory near High Point, Hampton said.. They both measure 32 inches.

T h e n e w Ya n c e y telescope will be a oneof-a-kind, custom made Dobsonian-type computer controlled observatory telescope. In addition to direct viewing at the eyepiece, astronomers will have the ability to show live video from an ultrasensitive camera system attached to the telescope.

“This telescope will

collect more than 16,000 times as much light as a dark adapted human eye, and is guaranteed to give crisp, sharp images all the way up to 1700x,” Hampton said.

A star park area will be built adjacent to the observatory for hosting star parties - a place where visiting astronomers can set up their own telescopes and enjoy our dark sky.

Star parties attract crowds, whether locally or internationally. They can last just one night or for a week or longer, and many amateur astronomers schedule their vacations to coincide with the gatherings. Nationally, star parties attract hundreds or thousands of people, but the key is the availability of a dark night sky.

Some here have voiced support to promote Yancey County as a star party tourism destination, and the construction of the new observatory is key to the idea.

“I think we’re in a fine spot,” for stargazing tourism, Hampton said.

“As astronomers, it’s just wonderful, and the community has been very supportive.

When the telescope arrives in the coming months, “we’re going to see stuff you can’t even imagine,” he said.

Burnsville is already known in the astronomy set for its summer Town Square star parties, but many astronomers say the downtown lights dim the opportunities for hosting a major tourist event.

That is what makes the EnergyXchange site so valuable, Hampton said.

Hampton said the effort would be lost without the support of Dr. John Boyd of Mayland Community College. “He took notice of the project and stepped in,” Hampton said. “He understands how beneficial this will be for Mayland and entire community, so he is 100 percent on board with this, and he’s an expert in the funding and planning of large projects.

He’s absolutely certain that funding will be available to complete the entire project, and he’s already arranged funding for the mirror deposit.

That initial investment means the mirror has been delivered to a specialty mirror maker, and grinding has begun. “It is being made by one of the two most well-known telescope

mirror makers. Everything peer deep into outer space. nebulae, the Milky Way,

A 2011 Star Party on the Town Square in Burnsville.

about our telescope is being custom made,” Hampton said.

Hampton, who built astronomy equipment professionally before moving to Yancey, says the new observatory should be up and running “about a year from now; maybe less.”

But star gazers aren’t waiting, and several astronomy clubs are joining forces next weekend for a star party atop Mt. Mitchell, the tallest peak east of the Rockies.

The Blue Ridge Astronomy Group will host the first-ever Mt. Mitchell Star Party on Saturday, Sept. 8. From an elevation of nearly 6,684 feet in the upper parking lot at Mt. Mitchell State Park, attendees will be able to

Mt. Mitchell’s height and rural location away from urban light pollution make it an ideal spot for stargazing.

Astronomy groups from across Western North Carolina will provide a variety of powerful telescopes for public use, and people are also encouraged to bring their own telescopes. There’s no charge for admission and anyone with an interest in viewing the mysteries of space is encouraged to attend.

“The moon will not rise until after midnight, so with good weather we expect a very dark night of exceptional stargazing,” Hampton said. “From that vantage point on Mt. Mitchell, we expect see not only stars, but galaxies,

orbiting satellites and much more.”

The event runs from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., with sunset occurring at 7:46 p.m. Also, Mt. Mitchell State Park is open all day so folks can arrive whenever they wish.

Other organizations on-hand will include the Astronomy Club of Asheville, the Cleveland County Astronomical Society, the Catawba Valley Astronomy Club, and “some will be coming from the Bay’s Mountain group in Tennessee,” Hampton said.

Families, friends gather for the dove hunt

Saturday morning there will be familiar but distant sound filling the air. At times it may even sound like a war zone as different muzzle blasts echo through the fields with distinguishable tones.

And doves will fall.

The opening day of dove season is akin to Christmas day to a wingshooter. The party escalates as the birds hit the horizon and at times fill the skies. Family, friends, and even those who are only kin in spirit kick off the fall hunting season. Just one short week later, bow season begins; on Monday Sept. 10 in the western part of the state and Saturday Sept. 8 in the piedmont and eastern North Carolina.

I have mentioned before that dove season holds special memories for me. I firmly believe a good dove hunt can entrench one’s love for the outdoors like few other activities.

Youth learn how to stay alert and patient and are rewarded with many shot opportunities.

Elders get to relive memories of past hunts with friends and family and often t,imes the hunt is a convergence of many generations. It is not uncommon to see three generations from the same family in the field together suffering through the heat but enjoying the hunt.

Opening day of dove season has evolved slightly over the years. For instance, I was a teenager before hearing of my first paid dove hunt. I was already a seasoned but somewhat inconsistent shooter at the time. Now dove hunts are as much of a social gathering as anything. Pigs are spread open over flames that were started long before people start arriving. barbecue, chicken, and even sausage and hot dogs are part of the event.

During the hunt, age diversity reigns, as both young and old, and those in-between group up or spread out amongst the cover of tree lines, corn stalks, sunflowers, and milo.

In one of the few exhibits where all ages get together to join in a common activity, generations are bridged and lessons are passed on and learned.

The only thing I can find comparable that allows two people of different ages to enjoy the company of one another would be fishing, yet another outdoors activity. But to me, the opening day of dove season just does more. Maybe it is because of the one day excitement and anticipation. Much like Christmas, the days start counting down a couple of weeks before (well, Christmas starts counting down around Halloween thanks to

you have plenty of shotgun shells, some cool clothing that does not make you stand out (remember, doves see in all colors like we do so hunter orange is like a beacon to their bird vision). So instead, you have to spend your time waiting and remembering hunts of past.

When you are in the field, and the birds darken the flyways during their frantic weaving and darting speed, remember to not shoot at the low birds and mark the spot where the hit bird goes down. Also, as was told to me one time, you have to pull the trigger in order to shoot the bird, so let the lead fly. And in the end, Saturday may just become one of those hunts you talk about in years to come.

Two old Army buddies get together after 59 years From the front of their days at Tank Hill flooding back.

If you aren’t of a certain age, the idea of a military draft is a foreign concept. But for those of Canipe’s generation, the demands of the Korean War and the Cold War threat meant most every able-bodied young man faced some possible military service.

According to Army historians, Congress passed the Universal Military Training and Service Act in the early 1950s to double the number of soldiers on duty. It lowered the induction age to 18½ and extended active-duty service commitments to 24 months.

So Canipe and Bristol and half a million other young men like them were either drafted or volunteered for service, and Canipe ended up side by side. While they were in basic training, an armistice was signed to end hostilities in Korea, so the two missed heading off to combat. “The day they announced the armistice, we just hollered

and yelled” with joy, Canipe recalls.

Canipe was trained as an Army cook and went to Korea anyway. He came back to the states and, while in Army Airborne training, barely survived a serious car accident near Statesville. He spent his life staying busy in several different jobs, mostly hauling produce and driving for Ingles.

Bristol never made it to the big leagues as a player, but as a player-manager in the Cincinnati farm system he skippered the Reds’ top farm team, the San Diego Padres, to a pennant and playoff title, according to major league records.

He moved up to the Reds coaching staff in 1966, and was almost immediately tapped to be manager at age 33.

Many say Bristol built the team that his successor, Sparky Anderson, took and made into “The Big Red Machine” with such stellar stars as Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, Pete Rose, Dave Concepcion, Joe Morgan and a young Ken Griffey.

Canipe and Bristol posed for several photos last week, holding bats autographed by Pete Rose, one which was used for his 2,999 career hit. The two old Army buddies looked like they were having a blast, and Canipe says it seems impossible that 59 years had passed since they last saw each other.

Or at least since Bristol saw Canipe. For Canipe had watched his old Army friend many times, there on the television.

A plan for teaching kids about budgeting

By John Rosemond

Q: My two teenage daughters, 13 and 15, are constantly begging me to buy them clothes.

It’s become highly annoying. To stop the constant whining, I’ve decided to stop buying them any clothing and give them each an $800 annual clothing allowance. Should I give them the whole amount at once or give it to them on a monthly basis?

A: This is a great idea! However, I don’t think an annual clothing allowance of $800 is a realistic amount for (a) girls who (b) are outgrowing their clothes every six months to a year. If their clothing allowance is insufficient, then the whining is only going to worsen, and your plan is likely to blow up in your face.

I suggest that you give each of your girls a monthly amount that is sufficient to purchase a certain amount of discretionary clothing. I generally recommend between $50 and $100.

You would continue to purchase necessary clothes, but you would spend only a minimum amount in each case. For example, if one of them requires a new winter jacket, that is your

Thompson resigns, DA says From the front Thompson had been the prosecutor for most criminal cases in Yancey County, representing the 24th Judicial District.

Contacted Wednesday, Thompson said she preferred to add nothing to Wilson’s comment, for now. Asked if she was going into private practice, she said she didn’t know at the moment.

There is no criminal court scheduled this week in Yancey County, and the clerk of court’s office schedule shows no criminal court until Sept. 10.

Wilson said he will have the prosecutor’s office staffed and functioning. “I will never leave Yancey County sitting empty” with no ADA, he said. “There’s Thompson already been things put in place to fill the position.”

He continued: “There will be people dealing with and prosecuting the cases.

The office will be manned with your own prosecutor as soon as possible. I will be over there, and others will be covering that area.”

Thompson worked in private practice before being hired as assistant district attorney in 2007. She served in Madison County before becoming the lead ADA in Yancey.

responsibility. If she doesn’t like the jacket you’re willing to buy (from a discount store), then you would give her that same amount of money and she would use her allowance to make up the difference in price. If she simply wanted an article of clothing that is nice but unnecessary, that would be her responsibility entirely.

The “cleanest” way to do this is to set up a checking account for each child at your bank.

As long as you have good credit, the account doesn’t have overdraft protection, and you are willing to back it, most banks are willing

to do this. You deposit the child’s monthly allowance in her account at the beginning of the month and she manages the account from there. In the event of a bounced check, the bank and merchant fines as well as what the merchant is owed come off the top of the following month’s allowance.

This plan teaches teens how to budget money and manage a checking account, but it also teaches them to curtail their spending impulses, plan ahead, and save for the proverbial rainy day. It’s a great way to prepare a youngster for the larger fiscal responsibilities of adulthood.

If you divide $800 by 12 months, then each daughter would receive $67 per month. I like that figure, but remember, you would continue to buy necessary clothing items. If you give each of them the full $800 at one time, they’re likely to blow it in less time than you can say “budget.”

Medea’s easy and delicious guacamole

Avocados contain naturally healthy monounsaturated fats that can help reduce blood cholesterol and decrease your risk for heart disease. Avocados are also considered “booster” foods because they enable you to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients from other foods. For example, eating avocado with tomato provides lutein from the avocado and also allows you to absorb more of the lutein, as well as the alpha and beta carotene in the tomato.

Sometimes called the alphabet fruit (yes, avocado is a fruit!), just one avocado provides your body with vitamins A, C, E, K and B6 so you can be sure you’re getting plenty of body nourishments with each bite.

Other vitamins found in relatively large quantities in an avocado include riboflavin, niacin, folate and pantothenic acid, and one avocado has 975 mg of potassium. Avocados have 54 percent of your recommended daily value of fiber.

Taking advantage of the health promoting and fat burning benefits of avocado is easy. The real trick to great guacamole is to use good avocados. Store avocados at room temperature until ripened and ready

to use, refrigerate ripe avocados. Make sure your avocados are ripe, and I find the Haas variety has the best flavor and texture. Slice them in salads, use instead of mayonnaise, or use them to make this traditional Mexican dip. You can serve this dip as a healthy appetizer or have it as part of a light lunch with corn chips or an array of fresh vegetables.

Ingredients 2 avocados, mashed 1/2 lemon, juiced 1-2 cloves garlic, pressed or grated 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion (optional) 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (to taste) Directions Cut the avocados into halves. Remove the seeds, and scoop out the pulp into a small bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado. Stir in lemon juice, fresh garlic, onion and sea salt. Adjust to taste. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Serve and enjoy!

The dangers of high (processed) carb/low-fat diet

Medea Galligan MS Nutrition, CHHC, AADP Many people today still adhere to the misguided belief that nearly all fats are bad, and that the best way to stay slim and healthy is to cut fats, whenever possible, from your diet. Contrary to this outdated belief, the latest research has shown that fats are an absolutely vital component of any healthy diet as they aid in the absorption of essential fat-soluble vitamins and minerals, as well as feed the brain, heart, liver, lungs, bones, cells and nervous system the nutrients they need to function properly. For many years it was widely assumed that all fats, because they are called “fats,” must contribute to obesity and obesity-related illnesses (like heart disease.) While this is true for synthetically created trans-fats like margarine and hydrogenated oils, there are all kinds of healthy fats, such as coconut oil and animalbased fats like grass-fed butter and naturally-produced lard, that actually promote good health.

The belief that maintaining a low-fat diet promotes health and prevents disease is perhaps the single biggest misconception responsible for today’s epidemics of high cholesterol, obesity, heart disease and early death. In a recent report, Dr. Dwight Lundell, a former heart surgeon with 25 years of experience, admits that low-fat diets are actually responsible for destroying health, and explains why consuming fats in proper balance with one another is vital for protecting the body from disease-causing inflammation.

The low-fat diet can be traced to studies conducted as far back as the 1940s, in which scientists observed a correlation between what they saw as “high-fat” diets and high cholesterol levels. From there, over the course of several decades, the ideology that low-fat diets were good for the heart and beneficial in maintaining healthy weight became etched in stone as fact, with little room for honest inquiry or opposition.1 At the recent World of Healthy Flavors Conference in Napa, Calif., the myth of the low-fat diet was tackled head on by several key figures in nutrition and epidemiology, including Walter Willett, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard University School of Public Health (HSPH), and his colleague Dariush Mozaffarian. As part of their “Focus on Fat” panel, these experts encouraged their audience to abandon the low-fat mindset and learn about the benefits of consuming healthy fats. Many low-fat food items contain high levels of processed salt and refined carbohydrates, they pointed out, which are added to low-fat foods to make up for the loss in taste and flavor that result from the artificial removal of fats. Both of these additives, which are devoid of their nutritional counterparts due to over-processing, are linked to numerous health problems, including obesity and heart disease.

“Low fat diets are usually

high in carbohydrates, often from rapidly-digested foods such as white flour, white rice, potatoes, sugary drinks, and refined snacks.

Eating lots of these ‘fast carbs’ can cause quick, sharp spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels, and over time can increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease,” wrote the HSPH presenters in their presentation summary.

“High carbohydrate, low fat diets also have a negative effect on the fats and cholesterol in our blood: They raise the ‘bad’ blood fats (triglycerides) and they lower the ‘good’ blood cholesterol (HDL), both of which can increase the risk of heart disease.”2 Today it is becoming painfully apparent that millions of Americans are needlessly suffering from health conditions brought about by adhering to low-fat diets they were told would help them stay slim and healthy. And as new studies emerge showing that foods like saturated fat, which have been vilified for years as unhealthy and diseasecausing, are actually beneficial for health, there is a significant paradigm shift occurring in the way people think about health.

But because the low-fat diet myth has been perpetuated for so long in mainstream culture, this shift is occurring rather slowly, as many in the medical profession are reluctant to admit they bought into bad science all these years.

But Dr. Lundell is one of the rare, humble medical professionals that is now openly proclaiming to the world the truth about the dangers of low-fat diets. “What are the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation?” asks Dr. Lundell in his report. “Quite simply, they are the overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods.”3 Processed sugars and grains, high omega-6 oils like soybean and corn are all responsible for epidemic disease. The sad reality is that many of the foods being promoted by health authorities as beneficial for health and weight are precisely the foods responsible for poor health and obesity. Oils like soybean, corn, and sunflower, which are commonly used in processed and fast foods, are loaded with omega-6 fatty acids and mostly devoid of omega-3 fatty acids, a very serious imbalance that is responsible for damaging arterial walls and causing the chronic inflammation responsible for high cholesterol levels. You see, it is not cholesterol that is the enemy here -- your body actually needs cholesterol to function properly. It is instead the arterial wall inflammation caused by lowfat, omega-6-rich diets that is the problem, as this damaged tissue collects cholesterol and causes the blockages responsible for causing heart events like strokes.

“Simply stated, without

The dangers of high (processed) carb/low-fat diet

From Page 14 filled with glycogen, insulin turns excess glucose into body fat.

Carbohydrates are the primary cause of weight gain, not fats.

(Animals raised for food are fattened with carbohydrates.)4 One of the major health benefits of a low-carbohydrate diet is weight loss. It enables one to lose excess weight without having to consciously restrict calories (Ann Int Med 2004;140:769—777).

A low-carb diet lowers blood glucose in diabetics (Diabetes 2004;53:2375—2382). It improves insulin sensitivity (N Engl J Med 2003;348:2074—81). Indeed, carbohydrate restriction (with fat replacing carbohydrates) is on the way to becoming the preferred method for treating type-2 diabetes and its precursor, metabolic syndrome (Scand Cardiovasc J 2008;42:256—263).

Restricting carbohydrates can also lower blood pressure (JAMA

2004;292:24822—2490).

For optimum health and weight maintenance, I recommend for the three macronutrients, Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats, in their most natural, unprocessed and unrefined forms, in a proportion that is best determined by each person’s unique metabolism, age, activity and stress levels, all of which equals an individual’s current nutritional requirements. Among the different kinds of fats, saturated fats and monounsaturated fats (olive oil, coconut oil, avocados) are good; polyunsaturated fats, except for omega-3 and a small amount of omega-6 essential fatty acids, are bad, especially industrially processed vegetable oils (corn, soy, canola); and trans fats are terrible. Saturated animal fat (and omega-3 fatty acids) are best obtained from grassfed beef and pastured chickens, along with nitrate-free, additivefree bacon and sausage, wild

game, and seafood from wild www.HealthyLifestyle Concepts. (not farm-raised) fish. For more com for more information. information on how you can adopt a healthier lifestyle in your life, or a Free Initial Consultation, call (828)989-9144 or visit www.
