Saluda toddler killed after falling from truck Wednesday

A 16-month-old girl died in Saluda on Wednesday, July 13 after she fell from a truck traveling on Greenville Street, according to Saluda officials.

Saluda City Administrator Erny Williams said the girl’s father, Brian Cody Huff, of Pace Mountain Road, Saluda, was driving a truck owned by his employer, Don Mintz, around 1:30

p.m. at Greenville St. and Thunder Ridge Road when somehow the truck door opened and his daughter, Farrah Rose Huff, fell out.

The toddler was struck by the truck and killed, according to reports.

She was not restrained in a car seat,

‘Taken In’ film premiere in Tryon Monday, Tuesday Innovative funding source helps Greenville filmmaker bySamanthaHurst

Though South of the Border in Dillon, S.C., radiates with kitschy neon signs and sombrero-topped towers, filmmaker Chris White of Greenville found it the ideal loca-tion to shoot his lonesome, black and white feature film, “Taken In.”

It seemed a fitting location, White said, given lead character Simon is aiming to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Brooklyn.

“Her childhood is long lost, and that innocence of youth is long gone, and I could see this man maybe taking his child there to try and capture what had been lost,” White said.

miere North Carolina screening at the Tryon Theatre Monday and Tuesday, July 18-19, at 7 p.m.

White discovered his inspira-tion for the film after building relationships with students at Carl Brooks School in Virginia. This boarding school serves as a respite for students struggling through school and family life. White served as an artist-in-residence there, teaching art, leading plays and hosting film festivals.

White said the kids at this thera-peutic boarding school touched him.

“They started formulating into a composite in my head,” White said. “This sort of story formed about a father and his teenage daughter. In my head I started imagining this touching image – it wasn’t of them crying or begging for forgiveness – it was of them holding hands. That’s what I want them to do, I just

want them to touch hands.” For the first 20 minutes of the

film nobody speaks, because they have nothing to say, White said.

“I hope it doesn’t bore you, but it kind of seduces you into this re-lationship,” White said. “The movie is just a big lead up to the last shot, and that’s what I’m excited about, just to see if it lands with people.”

White co-wrote the film with his wife, Emily, and produced it over the course of just five months. He said he wanted to see if he could make a feature-length movie that connects with people, and does everything he wanted it to do, for less than $8,000.

On Jan. 15 of this year he began raising funds through Kickstarter, a free fundraising tool available to artists.

Projects currently on the site involve everything from hanging swings in random public places in Bolivia to installation artists aim-ing to build life-size art. For more information on this funding source, visit www.kickstarter.com.

The idea is to create a page for your project and then share the link with friends and family to “pass the hat,” White said.

“I think it’s good for the artist because it allows them to sort of test the idea,” White said. “I’ve got to kind of prove myself to you a little

bit. I think it’s good for artists to have to do that, but it doesn’t work for everybody.”

Within 42 days, White collected more than $8,000 from 120 sources. On March 1 he started work on the film and by April had begun devot-ing what would be two months to editing. Since then he’s been prep-ping for premieres such as the one to be held here in Tryon next week.

The local filmmaker said his aim is to make at least two movies a year to improve his craft. White is cur-rently working to prepare for “Get Better,” another father-daughter story to star Tryon resident and actor Robert Linder.

This new project will be shot, at least in part, around Tryon.

The funding post on Kickstarter goes live this week with the aim of raising $12,000.

White hopes to begin shooting “Get Better” in late September. His plans are to release the film in January 2012.

The last time White made a movie in Tryon was during the Christmas season of 1994. The mov-ie, “Night Divine,” was screened during the holidays the next year.

A short film entitled “Good Life” stars White and his youngest daughter, Harriet. It will also be shown Monday and Tuesday before the premiere of “Taken In.” Shows begin each night at 7 p.m. The Tryon Film Society is sponsoring the event.

news briefs Polk extends deadline for Tryon Riding & Hunt

Club paymentThe Polk County Board of Commissioners agreed on July 11 to extend a deadline for Green River Farms and Tryon Riding and Hunt Club to complete payment for a water line extension to the new Green Creek Equestrian Center. The county previously agreed for the $65,000 costs to be paid in three installments over three years beginning in 2009. The first two payments have been made, leaving a $21,667 balance. The new agreement allows half to be paid by the end of this month and the other half to be paid on or before July 31, 2012.

Polk appoints volunteers to boardsThe Polk County Board of Commissioners on Monday, July 11 approved appointments to three volunteer boards. Carl Caudle was appointed to the economic development commission, Angela Garner was appointed to the juvenile crime prevention council and Barbara Batcheler-Graham was appointed to the Western Carolina Community Action. All appointments were made unanimously.

according to Williams.Brian Huff reportedly had

picked up his daughter after being called to a family emergency, and the truck did not contain a car seat.

Officials said they did not know how the door on the 2008 Dodge truck came open.

The Huffs were traveling along Greenville Street away from Saluda when the accident

occurred just before the Hender-son County line.

Several local emergency departments responded to the scene, including Saluda Fire and Rescue, the Saluda Police Department, the N.C. Highway Patrol, Polk County Rescue and Polk County Emergency Medical Services.

The N.C. District Attorney’s Office looked into the accident, and no charges have been filed, according to Williams.

Public hearing set for new EDC/tourism boardHearing scheduled Aug. 1 at 6:30 pmbyLeahJustice

Polk County is on its way to establishing a new economic and tourism development com-mission that is a merger of the economic development and travel and tourism departments.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners met Monday, July 11 and set a public hear-ing to approve an ordinance establishing the commission. The public hearing will be held on Aug. 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the Womack building in Columbus.

The county recently appoint-ed an implementation commit-tee to draft the ordinance estab-lishing the committee, policies and procedures for the commis-sion and a job description for an economic development director.

Commissioners decided dur-ing budget preparations this year to merge the economic de-velopment and tourism depart-ments. Previously, the county partially funded a travel and tourism department that was run with a full-time director of tourism.

Polk County went one year without an economic develop-ment director, during which time the economic development department was run by a volun-teer board.

The new commission will be a merger of economic de-velopment and tourism duties. Commissioners plan to hire a

new economic development director, whose position will be a contracted service budgeted at $50,000. The travel and tour-ism portion of the department will be staffed by a part-time employee.

The budget includes only ap-proximately $64,000 expected to be collected in occupancy tax funding.

The new economic and tour-ism development commission is proposed to consist of 11 members and one alternate. The commission is proposed to meet once per month with members having staggered terms. Mem-bers will serve one-year terms, with no member allowed to serve more than two consecu-tive terms.

The policies and procedures draft for the commission says that different committees will be established, including a governance committee (execu-tive/management functions), an economic development com-mittee, a tourism and marketing committee and a technology/websites committee.

Ambrose Mills, chair of the county’s economic develop-ment committee, met with com-missioners Monday and thanked the implementation team for the hard work they completed.

Commissioners plan to adopt the new ordinance and policies and procedures after receiving public comment next month. The county has not yet hired an economic development director.

N.C. among U.S. leaders in ‘green’ economy jobs

North Carolina is adding “green” or “clean” economy jobs much faster than most other states in the country, according to a new report from the Met-ropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution.

The organization’s “Sizing the Clean Economy” report ranks North Carolina 11th for the overall size of its green economy, and sixth for the growth rate of green jobs.

North Carolina added 26,101 clean industry jobs between 2003 and 2010, giving the sector an annual growth r a t e o f 5 . 9 percent dur-ing the period, said the report. The jobs added during the eight-year period raised the total number of clean economy jobs in the state to 78,881, about 1.9 percent of all jobs in North Carolina.

The Metropolitan Policy Pro-gram also reports the estimated median wage for clean economy jobs in North Carolina is $37,348, about 7 percent more than the $34,823 median wage for all jobs in the state.

North Carolina’s job growth in the green economy sector was led by the Raleigh area, which ranked second among the coun-try’s 100 largest metro areas, with an average annual growth rate of 13.7 percent between 2003 and 2010. Only Knoxville, Tenn. topped the Triangle area for clean industry job growth during the period.

Charlotte was next in the state with 15,485 clean economy jobs in 2010, 4,268 more than it had in 2003.

According to the report, the south has seven states with at least 50,000 clean economy jobs, making it the leading region in the country for the number of green jobs. South Carolina ranked 21st in the country with 50,424 clean economy jobs,

about 2.7 percent of all jobs in the state.

South Carolina’s estimated median wage for clean economy jobs was $36,373, more than 9 percent higher than the $32,936 median for all jobs in the state.

The green jobs growth rate was much higher in metro areas of South Carolina with Greenville and Charleston seeing growth of 4.9 percent and 5.4 percent, re-spectively.

The report identifies the lead-ing sector for green economy jobs in North Carolina was waste

management and treatment (10,082 jobs), although the fastest grow-ing sector was

electric vehicle technologies, which added 1,121 jobs between 2003 and 2010.

Waste management and treat-ment was also the leading sector for the number of jobs in South Carolina (5,739), while profes-sional environmental services added the most jobs (1,313) dur-ing the eight-year period.

***The N.C. Sustainable Ener-

gy Association recently reported that the Tarheel state has 1,792 companies in the renewable energy industry, about 1,100 or 63 percent more than a year ago.

The association attributes the large increase to state tax credits, N.C. GreenPower, and the Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard law passed by the state in 2007. The law requires utilities to produce a larger share of energy from renewable sources.

The list of registered renew-able energy companies in the state ranges from a single solar panel on a home to a solar farm with about 63,000 panels.

The state estimates the re-newable energy projects in the

state can produce enough power to meet the needs of more than 550,000 homes.

The Asheville area was identi-fied as one of the state’s cluster areas for renewable energy com-panies. Buncombe County alone has 213 registered renewable energy companies, according to the state.

The N.C. S u s t a i n a b l e Energy Asso-ciation’s report found that rural counties have a greater number of installed renewable energy projects and a higher total ca-pacity in all renewable energy technologies except solar. Solar is used more heavily in urban areas, which are home to many rooftop solar systems.

***The North Carolina Utilities

Commission approved the con-struction of a 300-megawattt wind farm in Eastern North Carolina. The wind farm, consid-ered to be the single largest green energy project proposed in the state, will be located on 31 square miles of farmland in Perquimans and Pasquotank counties.

The farm, called the Desert Wind Energy Project, would be the first commercial-scale wind energy project in the southeast and one of the largest wind farms in the state if it is completed on schedule next year. The $600 million project will require many more permits at the local, state and federal levels.

The wind farm, proposed by the American subsidiary of Span-ish energy company Iberdrola, would produce enough power on average for 55,000 to 70,000 homes per year.

***A federal panel plans to rec-

ommend that about two-thirds of offshore ocean areas considered for potential wind farm devel-opment should be off limits for wind turbines.

Following a recent second

meeting in Raleigh the panel is-sued maps showing that much of the state’s ocean waters are not suitable for offshore wind farms. The panel proposed restricting areas that would not produce sufficient wind energy or would interfere with military operations, fish habitats or bird habitats.

Some of the remaining areas that are considered suitable for wind farm development would

be as c lose as four miles from the shore, a distance that is visible from the beach. En-

ergy produced from offshore wind farms would be sold to util-ity companies in the state.

The recommendation from the federal panel will go to the U.S. Department of the Inte-rior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, which will estab-lish areas available for wind farm development.

General Motors Ventures announced it plans to invest $6 million in Proterra, an electric bus manufacturer in Greenville, S.C.

GM Ventures is part of an investment group that plans to contribute a total of $30 million to Proterra, which plans to use the funds to increase production in Greenville to 400 units a year.

The company said its battery-electric commercial transit buses average about 24 miles per gal-lon (diesel equivalent), which is about 600 percent better than the average for diesel-fueled buses.

Proterra’s c o m p o s i t e -bodied BE-35 can recharge its battery in about 10 minutes through its roof-mounted Fast Fill system, and it can travel about 40 miles before needing another recharge.

GM said the investment in Proterra will help the company commercialize its electric bus and fast-charging technology, while also addressing “the future challenges of urban mobility.”

***Prettl Electronics Greenville

Inc. announced this week it will invest $1.5 million and create 80 new jobs at a Greenville facility that will make inverters for the solar panel and wind turbine industries.

Prettl, founded in 1953 in Germany, has more than 5,000 employees in 19 countries, in-cluding about 100 in Greenville, where it has been since 1988.

The inverters produced by Prettl Electronics Greenville Inc. will convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) at any required voltage and frequency.

Bobby Hitt, secretary of com-merce for South Carolina, said Prettl’s expansion adds jobs and strengthens the state’s already well-established trade relation-ship with Germany.

The Clemson University Restoration Institute is moving forward with construction of a wind-turbine drivetrain testing facility in North Charleston.

Clemson recently signed con-tracts with Choate Construction Co. of South Carolina and AEC Engineering for the $98 million testing facility, which is expected to be complete by the end of 2012.

Clemson received a $45 mil-lion grant for the project from the U.S. Department of Energy, along with $53 million in match-ing public and private funds.

The testing facility, located on the former Navy base in North

C h a r l e s t o n , will test large drivetrain sys-tems ranging from 5 to 15 megawatts.

State and industry officials said the testing facility, which fills a void because most exist-ing facility can test only systems below 5 megawatts, has the potential to create a wind energy cluster, drawing thousands of jobs to the region.

Nearly all of the world’s leading wind turbine manufac-turers are represented on the industrial advisory board for the Clemson facility, and a German manufacturer already announced plans to open a plant in North Charleston that will make wind turbine parts.

***The Buncombe County Board

of Adjustment has approved plans for a second hotel on the Biltmore Estate. Despite the approval for the 152-room lodge, Biltmore Co. is still deciding whether it will move forward with the project, according to Bruce Hazzard, a consultant on the project with Asheville-based Design Management. Hazzard said Biltmore probably won’t make a final decision on the project for at least several weeks.

The board of adjustment also granted an exception to the county’s 50-foot high limit for

Dedicated toPreserving and Protecting

Your Assets

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Keeping Documents Safe

Q. Where should I keep my estate planning documents?a. In North Carolina only the original will may be presented for probate. Lack of an original will causes problems and administrative delays at the very least and for that reason, your will should be secured in a safe place. a bank safe deposit box may not be the best place since banks may seal the box upon your death. Many clients prefer their attorneys store the will to assure its availability for probate and they retain a copy for their records. If you do this, make sure the copy of your will bears a legend stating where the original may be located. More than one trust agreement may be executed; duplicate or even triplicate originals may be stored in different locations. It is never a good idea to write on or attempt to revise your documents. Later entries on a will or trust create uncertainty with respect to the intent of the creator requiring lengthy court proceedings to resolve. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques. sass-032291

Polk soccer’s Blair Ruth, Lennox Charles headed to East-West All-Star Match July 19 at UNC-Greensboroby Daniel Hecht

Every fall, thousands of young men throughout North Carolina participate in high school soccer. And, each summer, just 32 seniors are selected from among that pool of players to compete in the East-West All-Star game.

This year, Polk County High School will be particularly well-represented, as Polk graduate Blair Ruth takes the field while Polk head coach Lennox Charles oversees the coaching duties for the West All-Stars.

Ruth, who originally hails from Boca Raton, Fla., has played soccer since the age of 5.

“It seems like ever since he could kick a ball, he was kicking one,” said Ruth’s father, John.

The family moved to Polk County in 2004, and Ruth played on the undefeated Polk Middle School teams of 2005-2006.

After playing JV soccer in his freshman and sophomore years at Polk County High School, a six-inch growth spurt and a lot of hard work propelled Ruth onto the var-sity squad in his junior year. As a se-nior, the 6’2”, 200 pound midfielder was not only named all-Western Highlands Conference, but also was selected to the all-area team.

Ruth first learned he had made the East-West All-Star team in the spring, when assistant coach Will Peck handed him a letter from the selection committee.

“It’s a great honor to be named to the team,” said Ruth. “My whole family is planning to travel to the game.”

Gardner-Webb University and then stayed on as a coach for the Runnin’ Bulldogs, joined the coaching staff at PCHS in 2001 and assumed head coaching duties soon afterward.

Polk teams coached by Charles have been consistently successful, with five trips to the state finals (three for the men and two for the ladies) and three state champion-ships in the past nine years.

“I’m really happy to be given

this opportunity,” said Charles. “When I look around at the other high school coaches who have been around for 15 or 20 years, for me to get this opportunity already is a very good thing.”

Coach Charles and Ruth will travel this weekend to Greensboro to prepare for the game, which kicks off at 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 19 at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Blitzen Benz wins ‘Firecracker 24’ in Nashville July 4Tryon's Blitzen Benz racing team: Mark Thomas (left); Warren Board; Michael Chisek, ChumpCar official; Ned Gallaher and Jim Wright. (photo submitted)

Competing against more than 30 race cars from the South and Midwest, Tryon’s Blitzen Benz Racing team won the ChumpCar World Series 24-hour endurance race on the Fourth of July week-end in Nashville, Tenn., a repeat of last year’s win.

The Nashville SuperSpeed-way’s 1.8 mile sports car road course contains nine turns as well as approximately 3/4 mile of the NASCAR oval. The race was run from Saturday afternoon non-stop through the night until Sunday afternoon, amid temperatures in the high 90s with 80 percent humidity.

Baby Blitzen completed 973 laps (1,751 miles, or the distance from Tryon to Rock Springs, Wyo.) over 24 hours. The four drivers, whose average age is in the 60s (Warren Board, Ned Gallaher, Mark Thomas and Jim Wright), raced against much younger drivers and won by an eight-lap margin. Other team members were Rusty Tredinnick, crew chief, and Greg Pressley, mechanic.

During the 2011 season, hun-dreds of race cars and thousands of drivers will compete in The ChumpCar World Series’ 31 endurance races held on premier

road racing courses in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Al-though ChumpCar does not have a points system like NASCAR, Blitzen Benz Racing has won more races in the series than any other team in the nation.

Unlike very expensive pro-fessional racing series such as Formula One and NASCAR, and amateur racing such as SCCA and NASA, the ChumpCar World Series requires documented evi-dence that a team’s race car platform in stock condition is valued at no more than $500 in the current retail market. A rac-ing program can be started with “chump change,” hence the series name ChumpCar.

A competitive endurance race car must then be designed and engineered to be powerful, fast and – above all – durable. Unlike most auto races, which usually last from 20 minutes to a couple of hours, ChumpCar races typically are run for 7, 12 and 24 hours. Baby Blitzen, based on a 1987 Mercedes Benz 190E, has been designed and race-prepared by Ned Gallaher of Gallaher Restora-tions, to successfully meet these criteria.

Rusty, Blitzen Benz crew chief, says that both the winning

race car and drivers must be “built to go the distance.” The car must be light and powerful enough to accelerate quickly and maintain top speed for long periods, as well as brake forcefully and change gears thousands of times during an endurance race. It must be powerful, agile, fuel-efficient and the clutch, brakes, tires and suspension must be durable.

Drivers must be skillful and fast enough to drive the car quick-ly, smoothly and consistently for two-hour stints, a test of physical strength and coordination as well as sustained intense concentration.

According to the crew chief, he couples car and drivers with a strategic plan, scheduling pit stops for driver changes, fuel and tires, then makes tactical decisions during the race to alter track posi-

tion based on competitors’ perfor-mance, accidents and weather to produce regular podium finishes.

Since winning at Rockingham in the spring, Blitzen Benz placed fourth in two seven-hour races at Roebling Road (Savannah, Ga.), and at Charlotte Motor Speedway one car finished fourth and a sec-ond car finished 13th.

In addition to owner/builder Gallaher’s and other team mem-bers’ investments, Alan Warner is a primary sponsor. The team would welcome other local spon-sors.

The Blitzen Benz team will race Baby Blitzen next against 80-plus cars in “The VIR 24,” scheduled at the Virginia Inter-national Raceway on July 30-31.

Jim Carson, Saluda artist, has been invited to the first an-nual Plein Air Curacao, held in Willemstad, Curacao, a small Caribbean island in the Dutch Antilles, 40 miles off the coast of Venezuela. It will be held Aug.28 - Sept 3. The plein air festival will be a day time component to the annual North Sea Jazz Festival, also held in Curacao.

Last year’s Jazz Festival brought more than 10,000 peo-ple to Curacao. This year’s jazz festival will feature Stevie Won-der, Sting, Earth Wind and Fire, Dionne Warwick, the Danilo Perez Trio, Branford Marsalis Quartet, Ruben Blades, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and Ronchi Matthews and his All

Star Band.During the day, the invited

plein air painters will paint the vistas of Curacao. The paintings will be sold at the end of each day to tourists and residents.

Curacao has a combination of geography, rich cultural and architectural resources and a quality many visitors describe as being authentic and compel-ling.

Carson will also participate in Plein Air Easton, in Easton, M.D. July 17 - 24. Carson’s studio, in Saluda, will be open during the Art Trek studio tour July 30 - 31, with the preview party at the Upstairs Artspace, in Tryon, on Friday night, July 29.

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

There are not enough adjectives to describe Durango. If a cartoon-ist wished to form a caricature of a bulldog, he’d choose Durango.

He is a 58-pound black and whit pit-mix who came to us in mid January at around 10 months old. A bow-legged stray full of tape and hook worms, Durango has been a handful from the very beginning.

He is so full of energy and life that he makes the famous Marley look like a bunny rabbit. He is the proverbial bull in the china shop and no matter what mischief he gets into, he maintains this wide gaping grin on his face as if to say, “What, what did I do?” He’s strong as an ox too, when he gets those legs churning it would take a brick wall to stop him (perhaps). Durango has been teemed up with a bunch of cage mates through the months (currently Chocolate) and though he looks fearful, he’s merely playful. As a matter of fact, the more docile his cage mate, the sweeter he becomes. I could just see him being big brother to someone’s Pomeranian. Durango loves people too, almost to a fault, still he is obviously a tough sell.

Case in point…yesterday while working my shift I was trying to get him and Chocolate out for their morning run while we cleaned his cage. Durango pushed open the cage door and darted free before I could loop his leash on, it wasn’t the first time he’s pulled this

Big, beautiful, bold and brassymaneuver. He headed out to the fenced-in area where all our other dogs were in their areas and began to rile them up as I followed, leash in hand.

This is a game he loves, he’s even learned to open his gate so he can do it on his own, so we must secure his latch with a clip.

“Come here Durango, I don’t have time for your shenanigans,”

I said. I f i n a l l y

t r apped h im where the only way out was through me. As

he came toward me the look in his eye told me he had every inten-tion to dart by me for more fun. I felt like Tom Hanks on the pier in “Tuner and Hooch.” As he tried to get by, I slipped the loop over his head in bullfighter fashion and his momentum knocked me right on my butt.

“You big doof,” I yelled while hanging on for dear life. “I’m gonna cook you for lunch.” Realizing he was finally caught, Durango sauntered over, put his paws on my shoulder and pro-ceeded to thoroughly wash my face. Needless to say, the crazy old man telling this tale is madly in love with this big brute. I can’t say if telling this story will hurt or help Durango’s chances for adoption, but if you have the right environ-ment and want a lesson on how to live life, come on in and check out this magnificent beast.

Thanks for listening.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Rules of fat loss: stick to them, trim up

So many folks, these days, are trying to lose fat, and get in better shape with little or no real results.

To complicate things, there are a myriad of diet pills, shakes, ex-ercise machines, exercise books and diet plans. Small wonder most people wanting to lose weight get con-fused.

Here’s the thing. There are rules for fat loss.

Know, and follow the rules, and you stand a good chance of succeeding. Don’t, and you’ll just spin your wheels.

Rule No. 1: There’s only one way to lose body fat. You can’t sweat it out, you can’t massage it out, you can’t turn fat to muscle or muscle to fat.

These are two different com-pounds. For you to lose body fat, fat has to dissolve in your blood stream and travel to your liver. The fat is then metabolized or “burned” for energy.

Rule No. 2: Starving yourself won’t work. One thing to remem-ber for a lifetime is that your body can’t tell the difference between what you choose to do, or you have to do. For this reason, if you starve yourself, your body doesn’t know that you are choos-ing not to eat, it just thinks food is unavailable. This causes your body to go into survival mode, where it will hold on to as much fat as it can.

Rule No. 3: You have two fuel tanks in your body. You have a fat fuel tank and a sugar fuel tank.

Here’s the thing … your body won’t burn both tanks at the same time. In other words, if there is sugar (carbohydrate) in your blood stream, your body won’t go into “Ketosis.” Ketosis is just a fancy word for the liver converting fat into fatty acids, or in essence, “burning” fat.

There are three types of sugar. Monosaccharides: foods like candy and table sugar. Disac-

charides: foods like fruit and cereal. Polysaccharides: foods like bread, rice, and pasta. Please don’t misunderstand me.

You can’t live without sugars (carbohydrates), because they fuel your muscles and your

brain, but most people have ei-ther too much s u g a r ( c a r -

bohydrate) a day, or they have it too many times a day. Rule No. 4: You need to gain muscle to lose the fat. Gaining muscle raises your metabolism. In other words, for every ounce of muscle you gain, your body burns extra calories 24 hours a day to keep it healthy.

Also, if you don’t gain the muscle, three things happen. The fat won’t come off well. If any does come off, it won’t stay off. Your shape won’t change. Your size may, but your shape won’t.

Be careful though. Make sure you know what you’re doing in the weight room. Weights and exercise equipment are very unforgiving. You can seriously hurt yourself without proper instruction.

Make sure your trainer or instructor is well educated and experienced. This will not only keep you safe, but help you learn proper training technique, so you can make the most progress with your program.

Foothills Humane Society announces the second annual chicken soup challenge fund drive. Chicken soup fund was established as a specific fund for animals with medical needs that would otherwise have to be euthanized without special and expensive treatment. The chicken soup fund allows Foot-hills to pay for these special needs cases, nurse the sick back to health and prepare them for their new home.

The $5,000 matching funds challenge was offered by the anonymous adoptive parents of Remy, a kitten the parents ad-opted from the shelter in 2009. Remy had a chronic eye condi-tion that required the removal of his eye, which the shelter could not afford. The adopters said they had never had such a wonderful animal and wanted to make sure that others like him

Humane Society funding challengewere not euthanized due to lack of funds.

Another example is Toby, a Portugese water dog brought into the shelter after being hit by a car. The chicken soup fund paid for Toby’s emergency surgery. Toby ended up losing a leg. The Eberius family fostered Toby and oversaw his recovery. When Toby was well and ready for adoption, the Eberius family had fallen for him and gave him his forever home. This is only one of many happy endings due to the chicken soup fund.

The summer challenge for matching funds ends Aug. 31. Donations can be made online www.foothillshumanesociety.org or by mail to 989 Little Mountain Road, Columbus, NC 28722. Please mark donations “Chicken Soup Challenge.”

Polk County will celebrate William Gillette Day on Satur-day, July 23, honoring the actor and playwright who was the definitive Sherlock Holmes of his time.

The festivities will begin at 9 a.m. with Mrs. Hudson’s Breakfast, which will include a presentation on Gillette by Henry

Zecher. Free tours of the Wil-liam Gillette exhibit at the Polk County Historical Museum will be available from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Henry Zecher has written the first full biography of this great man, titled William Gillette: America’s Sherlock Holmes. He will hold an additional book sign-ing at the Book Shelf in Tryon from 2 - 4 p.m., July 23.

Tickets and seating for the breakfast are limited. For infor-mation, contact Phyllis Martin at 828-863-2643.

Artists are located in Try-on, Saluda, Columbus, Green Creek, Mill Spring and Lan-drum. Bright orange signs help trekkers locate the studios. Many artists offer light refresh-ments.

A brochure with directional

Art Trek of Tryon, July 30 and 31map can be picked up at the Up-stairs Artspace, area businesses and the artists’ studios. The bro-chure can also be downloaded at www.upstairsartspace.org.

The American Red Cross, Polk County Chapter, recently recog-nized one of its board members by sponsoring John Dahlgren for membership in the Second Wind Hall of Fame. Board member Wayne Ackerman presented his certificate at a recent board of director's meeting.

The certificate reads: “In recog-nition of a useful and productive life, continuing beyond retirement, while others paused to rest, this dedicated person caught a ‘second wind’ and began a new career of service to the community and to mankind. “May God give this ser-vant strength to continue construc-tive efforts, radiant with courage, as an inspiration to all.”The criteria for consideration of a volunteer for induction into the second Wind Hall of Fame begins with being retired, being 60 years of age or

older, having volunteered for at least three local organizations for three years, and being sponsored into membership by one of the organizations served.

Dahlgren has been an active member of the board of direc-tors and as a member of the Red Cross Disaster Action Team for many years. He has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Polk County Republican Party. He currently serves as the party’s secretary. He has been ac-tive with Habitat for Humanity and maintains the Memorial Garden at his church.

Anyone who knows a volunteer who should be considered can start the application process by writ-ing to P.O. Box 711, Tryon, N.C. 28782 or by calling 828-894-6159.

Dear Savvy Senior,What can you tell me about

chair exercises for seniors? I have some balance problems along with arthritis in my left knee which limits my mobility. A friend rec-ommended chair exercises as a good way to get moving but I don’t know where to start. What can you tell me?

Sedentary Senior

Dear Sedentary,For seniors with balance prob-

lems or other health conditions that restrict their mobility, chair exercises are a gentle and safe way to shape up while you’re sitting down. Here’s what you should know, along with some tools and resources to help get you started.

Chair exercisesMany people find it hard to

believe, but the health benefits of chair exercises can be significant for seniors. Chair exercises can help you build muscle strength and endurance, improve your flex-ibility and balance, and boost your circulation and metabolism.

Your doctor or physical thera-pist can be great resources to help you learn more. All you need is a sturdy, four-legged chair that sits flat on the floor. Don’t use a rock-ing chair or a large cushioned chair that doesn’t provide support.

To get you started, there are lots of great instructional DVDs, VHS tapes and books you can purchase to guide you through a wide variety of chair exercises that you can do at home. To find these products try websites like Sit And Be Fit (sitandbefit.org, 888-678-9438), a non-profit organization that has a chair exercise television program on many PBS stations around the country, and sells dozens of DVDs, videotapes, CDs and books on dif-ferent exercise programs depend-ing on your needs and ailments.

Another great chair fitness op-tion you should check into is “chair yoga,” which is ideal for improv-ing your flexibility and range-of-

motion. Some good resources for finding chair yoga instructional videos and DVDs are yogaheart.com, peggycappy.com and stron-gerseniors.com which also offers chair exercise DVDs.

Also see Chair Dancing Inter-national (chairdancing.com, 800-551-4386), a company that offers a variety of chair exercise videos that incorporates gentle no-impact dance moves into their routines.

Group classesIf you don’t like exercising

alone or need some motivation, call you local senior center to see if they may offer chair exercise classes – many do. Or, consider joining SilverSneakers (silversneakers.com, 888-423-4632) or Silver&Fit (www.silverandfit.com, 877-427-

Seniors can discover ways to shape up while sitting downInside Back

Savvy Senior 4788). These are fitness programs offered in fitness centers, gyms and YMCAs throughout the U.S. that offer special exercise classes designed exclusively for seniors including chair exercisers.

Exercise equipmentThere are also several pieces

of equipment you might want to purchase to enhance your chair ex-ercises. To boost your circulation, balance and leg strength consider a pedal exerciser (prices range from $25 to over $100), which will give you a bicycle-type workout from your chair. It can also be set on a table to exercise your arms. The Sit-N-Stroll Portable Foot Exerciser is another handy tool for stimulating leg circulation.

And for chair strength training exercises, there are elastic bands, small hand weights and medicine balls you can purchase for around

$10 that provide muscle toning resistance.

You can find all these products at sporting goods stores, or online at amazon.com. Cans of soup, wa-ter bottles or milk containers filled with water or sand could also be used (like small hand weights) for resistance training.

Another great strength training tool you should know about is the Resistance Chair (it costs $280). This is an all-in-one home fitness system that helps senior’s maintain and improve their strength from a safe, seated position.

To learn more see vqactioncare.com or call 800-585-4920.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Nor-man, OK 73070, or visit SavvySe-nior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
