Polk now certified as ‘entrepreneurial-ready’Markers located on US 74 at county line and state line of I-26byLeahJustice

Polk County and Advantage West officials unveiled a sign on U.S. 74 on Wednesday, Oct. 12 marking Polk as a Certified Entrepreneurial Community (CEC). In addition to the U.S. 74 sign, located at the Polk/Ruth-erford county line, another sign was placed on I-26 at the N.C./S.C. state line.

Polk County is one of fewer than 10 communities to be designated as a CEC.

The CEC program is currently unique to Western North Carolina, but other states have recently expressed interest in developing the certification.

Ambrose Mills, former Polk County Economic Development Commission chair and CEC team leader, said the certification is an assessment of the county’s resources, or a blueprint for how the county will seek economic development in the coming years.

“Polk County has always been a beautiful and welcoming community,” Mills said in the Advantage


Double the homecoming funPCHS, LHS celebrate homecoming tonight

Two parades, two queens, two games – tonight will buzz with more than the ordinary Friday football excitement, because tonight is homecoming for both Polk County High School (PCHS) and Landrum High School (LHS).

The festivities will be the culmina-

tion of spirit week activities at both schools and will feature one parade in Columbus and another in Landrum. Both PCHS and LHS will crown their homecoming queen at halftime of to-night’s football games. Polk will face Thomas Jefferson, and Landrum will play SCS. Both games will begin at 7:30 p.m.

West annual report. “But by go-ing through the CEC process with Advantage West, we now have the resources, leadership and strategic plan in place to truly say we are entrepreneurial-ready.”

Polk County’s certification took three years to acquire. Team leaders for the CEC effort came from the county’s former economic develop-ment commission, which has now been merged into the Polk County Economic Tour-ism Develop-ment Commis-sion (ETDC). Team leaders for the certifi-cation included Mills , county manager Ryan Whitson, Polk County Agricul-tural Economic D e v e l o p m e n t Director Lynn Sprague, Craig Hilton, who was recently named the new (ETDC) chair; Libbie Johnson, who was recently named the new ETDC director; and Bob Morgan.

Being certified as an entrepre-neurial community means that Polk gets the permanent highways signage and will be included in a new CEC website. The county will be included in a co-op marketing campaign through Advantage West to attract new businesses. Polk will also be eligible for funding through grants.

Much of Polk County’s recent entrepreneurial growth has come from its agricultural center, located at the former Mill Spring School. The center has quickly become a resource for agricultural devel-opment, farmland preservation, education, community service and business development. The center already includes several entre-preneurial businesses, including artists, an herbalist, a woodworker and a soil and water conservation company.

Advantage West CEO Scott Hamilton joined Polk County offi-cials Wednesday to unveil the U.S.

74 sign. Hamilton said Polk County is a unique destination with the certification. Polk joins the East-ern Band of the Cherokee Indians, Black Mountain, and the counties of Haywood, Burke, Mitchell, Watauga and Transyvlania coun-ties. Hamilton said Advantage West anticipates three other communities will receive the certification and six other communities are in the process of being certified.

The CEC website at awcec.com describes Polk County as follows:

“Wine, hors-es and high-tech

“ L o c a t e d in the isother-mal belt tucked under the Blue R idge , Po lk C o u n t y i s blessed with temperate cli-mate and di-verse terrain tha t a t t rac ts many retirees and businesses — the eques-

trian and wine business and alter-native farming thrive here.

“Tryon, Saluda, and Colum-bus are the primary towns in the county. All these offer lively downtown areas with local shop-ping, dining, and friendly people. These towns are surrounded by beautiful mountains, waterfalls, and parks.

“Education and volunteerism are highly valued. School systems are well funded and highly rated. Large numbers of volunteers, especially in the rich, diverse art community that thrives here, help the area prosper.

“Entrepreneurs are welcomed enthusiastically and there are many resources that help them succeed. Close proximity to larger markets such as Greenville – Spar-tanburg in SC and Charlotte sim-plify doing business in the area.

“The combination of delight-ful weather, good access to larger markets, great schools, an active, involved retiree population, and a growing agri-based economy creates a vibrant quality of life for area residents.”

Break-ins at three Tryon restaurants early Oct. 12Victims include El Sureño, Mr. Juan’s, TJ’sbyLeahJustice

Heavy rains early Wednesday morning, Oct. 12, didn’t stop a thief from breaking into three Tryon restaurants.

Tryon Police Chief Jeff Ar-rowood said his department is investigating break-ins at El Sureño, Mr. Juan’s and TJ’s Café along S. Trade Street.

All break-ins occurred through the doors sometime dur-

ing the night between Tuesday, Oct. 11 and Wednesday, Oct. 12.

Some cash was taken, and some damage was done. The doors had to be replaced at TJ’s, Arrowood said.

The police department is currently reviewing surveil-lance in an attempt to develop a suspect(s).

now there are more than 2.5 mil-lion breast cancer survivors in the United States. And while there is no sure way to prevent breast cancer, there are things you can do to help lower your risk and increase the odds of survival if cancer is found.

Find breast cancer early! Early detection is the best pro-tection.

According to Teresa Marlowe, RTRM, manager of St. Luke’s Ra-diology Services, this year marks 25 years that the Pink Ribbon campaign has educated women about the importance of early breast cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment.

This year, a key message is the importance of annual mam-mogram screenings for women over age 40.

These screenings are a wom-an’s best chance for detecting

The foothills in October are known for their beautiful colors, warm shades of red, vibrant yel-lows, brilliant oranges and a hope-ful, soft pink.

Pink, you might ask? Yes, pink. October is National Breast

Cancer Awareness month. The pink ribbon represents the hope for a cure of breast cancer, which is the leading cause of death in women ages 40 to 55.

According to the American Cancer Society, about 230,480 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2011. An additional 57,650 women will be diagnosed with non–invasive breast cancer and approximately 40,000 women will die.

Men are also victims of breast cancer; with almost 2,000 cases diagnosed in 2011. In North Caro-lina, more than 6,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.

There is good news – right

cancer early. And new treatment options, along with early detec-tion, can significantly improve chances of survival. When breast cancer is found early, the five-year survival rate is 96 percent.

On Thursday, Oct. 27, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m., St. Luke’s Hos-

pital is sponsor-ing free breast exams, educa-tion and, when needed, a refer-ral for a mam-mogram.

This free community service is designed to provide early detec-tion for the best protection. The hospital is particularly trying to reach women who don’t see a physician regularly. Spaces are limited and appointments are nec-essary. Please call 828-894-2408 to schedule an appointment.

The American Cancer Society also suggests you change the risk factors that are under your control.

Limit alcohol use, exercise

regularly and stay at a healthy weight. Women who choose to breast-feed for at least sev-eral months may also reduce their breast cancer risk. Not using hormone therapy after menopause can also help you avoid raising your risk.

For more information about breast cancer, visit the American Cancer Society’s website at www.cancer.org/Cancer/BreastCancer.

Want to show your support locally?

This Saturday at 9 a.m. there will be a benefit softball tourna-ment at the recreation ball fields at Polk County Middle School. The benefit tournament is for Kim Jol-ley, who is fighting breast cancer.

Members from local fire de-partments, EMS, the sherriff’s of-fice and some out-of-town teams will participate. The event will last until a winner is crowned. The public is encouraged to come out, enjoy the day and show support.

Fall colors expected to bring many visitors to WNC

Ideal weather conditions ear-lier this year are expected to produce exceptional leaf colors this fall and attract many visi-tors to Western North Carolina, according to regional foliage forecasters.

Appalachian State University professor Howard Neufeld esti-mates the region could enjoy a total economic impact of nearly $1 billion from visitors this fall. He estimates a family of four will spend on average $260 for two nights in a hotel, $60 for gas and $30 per person for food each day for a total of $560.

N e u f e l d said there are no figures on exactly how many people visit the region for the fall leaf viewing season and he suggests a study be done to provide accurate data. Neufeld estimates Western North Carolina will see as many visitors as New Hampshire and Maine, which had about 16 million fall visitors last year.

Tourism officials in WNC re-port strong hotel bookings for the rest of the fall season and many inquiries from people looking to travel to the area in the coming weeks.

Higher elevations in WNC are coming into the peak time this week for fall colors. Mid-elevations are expected to reach peak time during the third week of October, while other areas will follow shortly around the end of the month.

Kathy Mathews, a fall foliage forecaster at Western Carolina University, said this year’s leaf color will be boosted by slightly below normal rainfall in the spring and summer and a break from hot temperatures in August.

Carlton Burke, director of Carolina Mountain Naturalist, agrees this year’s spring and summer weather will produce an above-average year for fall

colors. “This year it hasn’t been over-

ly wet or overly dry, so it will be a good leaf-turning season,” she said. “Just sit back and enjoy it.”

***Facebook’s expansion of its

Rutherford County data center is an example of technology industry growth that has made North Carolina the 16th largest “Cyberstate” in the country, ac-cording to a TechAmerica Foun-dation report.

The report shows North Ca ro l ina i s par t icu lar ly strong for jobs in computer

and peripheral equipment manu-facturing, ranking fourth in the nation in that category.

Although North Carolina lost 3,100 high-tech industry jobs last year, the loss was half what the state saw in 2009, indicat-ing an improving trend for the industry. Overall, the state had nearly 146,000 high-tech jobs with a total payroll of nearly $12 billion last year, according to Tech-America Foundation.

Facebook announced plans this month to begin construction on a second data center building in Rutherford County.

The company is one of several that have chosen North Carolina for a data center. Google has a data center in Lenior and Apple has one near Maiden. Time War-ner Cable announced plans for a data center in Charlotte and EMC has developed one in Durham.

Companies have cited the state’s low-cost electricity, access to water for cooling and state building incentives as reason to come to the Tar Heel state.

Irene swept over eastern North Carolina, causing widespread flooding, the N.C. Department of Transportation has reopened N.C. 12.

Heavy flooding resulted in three breaches along the high-way between Oregon Inlet and Rodanthe. DOT crews worked around the clock to build a tem-porary bridge and repair the highway.

North Carolinians prefer east-ern N.C. barbecue over the western style by a wide mar-gin, based on a recent survey. More than 42 percent said t h e y p r e f e r eastern-style barbecue, while 26 percent pre-ferred western style in the survey of 760 North Carolina voters.

The poll also asked the voters whether they agree with a com-ment by Texas Gov. Rick Perry in 1992 that he had tasted road kill that was better than eastern North Carolina barbeque. About 75 percent of the Tar Heel voters polled said they disagree with that statement and 40 percent said they are less likely to vote for him because of his statement.

The poll was conducted by Public Policy Polling between Sept. 30 and Oct. 3.

WCCR presents ‘Inner Sanctum’ Monday, Oct. 17

The Western Carolina Classic Radio Club will meet Monday, Oct. 17 at 2 p.m. in Studio 118 on the Polk ICC Columbus Campus.

Universal Studios produced six “Inner Sanctum Mysteries” from 1943 to 1945. Each featured Lon Chaney Jr. in the lead role.

This month’s feature, “The Frozen Ghost,” filmed in 1945, has Chaney as a hypnotist who takes refuge in a mansion of a female friend who makes her money from a wax museum.

“Inner Sanctum Mysteries” was on the radio from January 1941 to October 1952.

Professor Hoyt will keep every-one guessing with his trivia quiz during intermission.

At approximately 3:05 p.m., the Fall Jazz Series kicks off with the

winner of the club members’ favor-ite jazz artist survey in June. Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald will make a special guest appearance.

Everyone is welcome and the event is free.

This past spring the Knights of Columbus Council #9492 presented a $500 check from proceeds of the Operation Lamb 2010 project to Alison Hamrick and Lynn Lance for the Exceptional Children’s Pro-gram in the Tryon Elementary School.

Students from pre-school to fifth grade with intellectual disabilities are in the excep-tional children’s program. The students work on phonics, letter and number recognition, sight words, reading comprehension, math skills (including measure-ment), geometry data analysis and problem solving.

Although the students re-ceive specialized instruction in small group settings, they are educated as much as possible in the regular classroom.

Because of state and federal funding cuts and budget re-straints, every donation is used specifically for learning tools and equipment that assist in the child’s development.

Hamrick and Lance said they appreciate the support for the exceptional children program from the Knights of Columbus.

The Knights of Columbus said they look forward to con-tinued support from the com-munity in the 2011 Operation Lamb campaign, which will be held at the Bi-Lo Food stores on Oct. 14 – 15.

Helping, hoping, healing: October is domestic violence awareness month

Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Steps to HOPE in observance of October as Domestic Violence Awareness month.

Steps to HOPE volunteers often say helping others is a wonderful blessing to share with those in need, but the giver is also the beneficiary of multiple gifts. The poem below expresses this thought.

The More You GiveThe more you give, the more

you get.The more you laugh, the less

you fret.The more you do unselfishly,the more you live abundantly.The more of everything you

share,the more you’ll always have

to spare.The more you love, the more

you’ll findthat life is good and friends

are kind.For only what we give away,enriches us from day to day.

– author unknown

The help Steps to HOPE gives others, in any capacity, from financial to volunteerism, benefits an individual or family in ways that many people may not fully grasp. For some, Steps to HOPE said, just knowing an-other person cares is significant.

During both difficult eco-nomic times and the best of times, help is needed by many.

Steps to HOPE provides safe shelter for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and domestic violence intervention classes for both men and women and parenting classes.

For more information, call Steps to HOPE at 828-894-2340.

Residents met in the private dining room to discuss the book while sipping coffee. They received the second book to read for the month of October, “Maisie Dobbs,” by Jacqueline Winspear. The last part of the meeting was spent in choosing the book for November. Each resident has an opportunity to present books to the group. When it is their turn, they bring the summary of three books before the group. The group then votes for the book they would like to read. Books are purchased online by the activities director.

The Tryon/Landrum-based Bl i tzen Benz rac ing team concluded i t s second fu l l season with a fifth place in the ChumpCar World Series endurance race, aptly named the “Slightly More than the Sebring 12 Hours.”

The event’s name spoofs the internationally famous Se-bring 12-hour sports car race that’s been held annually for 60 years on the mid-Florida World War II airport course.

The race was run on the full 3.7-mile roadracing course used for the second year by the ChumpCar World Series. About 80 cars started the race.

ChumpCar rules penalize a winning car by the margin of victory in races won during the previous six months.

B l i t z en Benz won The Firecracker Twenty-Four race over the Fourth of July in Nashville, so the team was penalized about nine laps at Sebring.

Team owner Ned Gallaher said, “That penalty placed us very near the bottom of the 80-car field - a big hill for us to climb. We feel good finish-ing that high when racing on a prestigious track known to be tough on cars, as difficult to drive and as competitive as Sebring.”

B l i t z e n B e n z ’s s e a s o n highlights were the win at Nashville - a 24-hour event - a win at Rockingham, N.C., and strong finishes in races with

Baby Blitzen on the race course at Sebring International Raceway on Sept. 24. (photo by Matthew’s Eye Photography)

Blitzen Benz concludes season at 14-hour endurance race

large fields at Charlotte Motor Speedway (fourth for one car and 13th with a second car), the fifth at Sebring and two fourth-place finishes at Roe-bling Road in Savannah, Ga.

“The team also raced in three other races where we did not finish. Still, we believe we have the best overall record in the series with five wins in two years and other high finishes,” said Gallaher.

The 2012 race schedule will be announced in early December.

Anticipated races near Try-on and the Upstate include

Charlotte Motor Speedway, Virginia International Race-way (Danville, VA), Savan-nah, Ga. and Road Atlanta, Ga. Drivers this season, in addi-tion to Gallaher, were Warren Board, Hans Huwyler, Peter Mayrhofer, Nicky Pierce and Jim Wright of Tryon and Mark Thomas of Staunton, Va. , James Wilson of Asheville, N.C., Tom Cotter of Char-lotte, N.C., Brad Phillips of Greenville, S.C. and David Spitzer of St. Augustine, Fla.

The crew chief is Rusty Tr e d i n n i c k o f M o u n t a i n Home, N.C. and the mechanic

is Greg Pressley of Hender-sonville, N.C.

ChumpCar World Series rac ing even ts a re he ld a t premier road racing courses in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Based on the concept of low cost racing, cars whose average Internet market value is more than $500 are penal-i zed based on a fo rmula . The team’s primary racecar, Baby Blitzen, has been devel-oped from a 1987 Mercedes Benz 190E series sedan.

Landrum football will host Southside Christian tonight and it will be a battle of two power-ful offenses.

The Sabres are averaging 34.1 points per game while the Cardinals are averaging 31.1 points per game. A closer look at the numbers, however, will show you that the Cardinals offense moves the ball better.

The Sabres are throwing the ball for 229 yards per game and rushing at 134 yards per game. The Cardinals are throwing the ball at a rate of 219 yards per game, but are averaging nearly 200 yards per game on the ground.

With those numbers in mind, the focus will be on whether

Landrum faces offensive battle at homecoming vs. Southside

or not the Landrum defense can come up with some big stops again. So far this season, Landrum’s defense has done the trick.

The Cardinals are allowing around 16 points per game, but will be tested Friday night. Landrum head coach Russell Mahaffey calls the defensive plays for the Cardinals and he has gotten some good play this year from his kids.

The Sabres favor the pass so Brandon Cannon, T.J. Finch-er, Aaron Bryant and Kaleb Kuykendall will be the key in tonight’s match-up. It’s a vet-eran secondary with some ball hawks.

The region foes square off at 7:30 p.m.

Riding a wave of confidence following last week’s decisive road win over Avery County, Polk County football returns home to the Little Big House tonight, as the school celebrates homecom-ing with a full slate of events.

Deadlocked in a four-way tie for first place in the Western Highlands Conference, the Wol-verines will play host this evening to the Gryphons of Thomas Jef-ferson Classical Academy.

Asked if the hubbub of home-coming activities has diverted attention from the business at hand, Polk County head coach Bruce Ollis just smiled and shook his head.

“Our focus has been good,” noted Ollis. “Coaches are always concerned about the distractions associated with homecoming, but our players seem to take it in stride as we prepare for an-other very important conference game.”

The visitors from Mooresboro will bring a pass-oriented attack

similar to the offense Polk faced last week at Avery County.

“Our secondary will be chal-lenged again as we were against Avery,” said Ollis. “Our defensive coaches have been working on tighter coverage in the secondary, along with a better pass rush.”

To emerge with the victory, the Wolverines will need to contain several key players, including junior QB Mac Martin, a very talented passer and good decision maker, 6’6” sophomore wideout Travis Waldroup-Rodriguez, and junior running back Will Mc-Craw.

Though winless so far this season, the Gryphon team the Wolverines will face tonight is, according to Ollis, far from the pushover of seasons past.

“Their program is much im-proved from a year ago,” said Ollis. “They have been scoring on everyone, and are much more physical than in previous years.”

The action kicks off tonight at 7:30 p.m. under the lights at Polk County High School.

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

In the past, before I retired into this area, I have been affiliated with the Valley of Kings, exotic rescue and the National Wolf So-ciety.

I know first hand the conse-quences of removing animals from their natural environments and trying to turn them into pets. Still people’s de-sire to own them remains strong, often with a min-imum amount of research and knowledge as to what to expect.

On a lesser scale, but often just as prevalent are dogs. Many dogs were bred for specific purposes and in some cases the gene has been passed on for centuries.

They are intelligent creatures that aim to please so in the proper hands they can be trained to do just about anything. There’s a reason why some dogs are good at certain

Excellent pets in the wrong placesthings and some at other things.

You could train a King Charles Spaniel to run with the pack on a fox hunt but since it is against their nature, the results will be less than desirable both for the dog and the human.

On the other side of the coin, I have personally witnessed Border

Collies that have gone stir crazy because they didn’t have a job to do.

Above is a photo of Maggie

(I like to call her Maggie Mae). Maggie is a 10 ½ month old Ger-man Shorthair Pointer. She has a mottled coat with blotches on solid chocolate and is stunningly beauti-ful. She is currently at Landrum vet under my care.

Maggie had been chained up for hours and sometimes days at a time. She had plenty of food and water and shelter, but besides be-

maggie (phoTo suBmiTTeD)

ing a pup, this was totally against her nature.

I received a call about the situation and the owner’s mother convinced the young man to turn Maggie over to me so that I may find her a proper home. I was told she doesn’t bark but she whines a lot (no kidding). She seems in good health but I’m having her checked over and she’s scheduled to be spayed.

The first time I took her out for a walk and to take some photos she was so anxious to run and play, it broke my heart.

I gave her as much exercise

that this old man could handle and when I asked her to sit, she dropped like a stone. I laughingly wrapped my arms around her and said, “You’re not only beautiful, you’re smart too.”

I’m currently working on a place where she could run and play until I find her a proper forever home. She’s a sweet and frisky young lady and if you have an interest in her, please contact Landrum vet or myself.

I have one more thing to say about sweet Maggie Mae, to know her is to love her.

Thanks for listening.

Dear Savvy Senior,I recently received a letter from

my Medicare “Part D” prescrip-tion drug plan provider notifying me that my premiums and co-pays will be increasing next year, and they are dropping coverage on one of the drugs that I take. How can I find a better drug plan?

Frustrated Senior Dear Frustrated,Because Medicare’s prescrip-

tion drug plans can change their costs and benefits from year-to-year, comparing Part D plans every year during the open enroll-ment season (which is now Oct. 15 – Dec. 7) is always a smart idea. Here are some tips and resources to help you find the best drug cov-erage at the lowest price.

Do It YourselfIf you have a home computer

and Internet access, comparing your current Medicare drug plan with the many other plans that are available, and enrolling in one, is something you can do yourself.

Just go to Medicare’s online Plan Finder Tool at www.medi-care.gov/find-a-plan, and type in your zip code or your personal information, the drugs you take and their dosages, and select the pharmacies you use and you’ll get a cost comparison breakdown for each plan available in your area.

This tool also provides a five-star rating system that evaluates each plan based on past customer service records, and suggests ge-nerics or older brand name drugs that can reduce your costs.

When comparing drug plans don’t judge a plan strictly by its monthly premium cost. Low-premium plans are often associ-ated with higher prescription co-payments and may end up being more expensive. So take a look at the whole pricing package, including premiums, deductibles and co-pays.

Also, be sure the plan you’re considering covers all of the drugs you take with no restrictions. Some plans may require you to get permission or try a number

Shrinking donut holeYou also need to know that

Medicare’s “donut-hole” coverage gap will shrink a little more next year. Thanks to health care reform, Medicare Part D beneficiaries that hit the coverage gap in 2012 will again receive a 50 percent dis-counts on brand-name drugs and an increased 14 percent discount on generic medications.

For 2012, the coverage gap be-gins if your total drug cost exceeds $2,930 (that includes your share and the insurer’s share of the costs) and ends when your total costs reach $6,657.50. After that, your Part D plan usually covers around 95 percent of your remaining drug costs for the year.

Savvy tip: If your income is un-der $16,335 a year (or $22,065 for married couples) and your assets are below $12,640 (or $25,260 for married couples), may be eligible for “Extra Help” in paying for their Medicare prescription drug coverage.

Sometimes we are asked to draft wills or trusts to “leave my estate to my sister Joan” or “$10,000 to my niece, Mary.” This may not be the wisest thing to do particularly if the recipient is elderly or otherwise receiving governmental assistance.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Get flu vaccine, naturally boost immune systemDuring this time of year there’s

a refreshing little nip in the air. There’s also a familiar, yet un-welcomed sign that winter’s not too far off - flu season.

The peak of flu season usu-ally occurs anywhere between November and March. Flu (Influ-enza) is a respiratory illness that’s symptoms can include cough, fe-ver, runny nose, gastrointestinal distress (upset stomach, cramps, vomiting or diarrhea), sore throat, body aches, headache and chills.

Each year in the United States alone, more than 200,000 people are hospitalized with flu related symptoms, and about 36,000 die from those same symptoms. Influenza is usually spread one of two ways.

One is by tiny respiratory droplets that are propelled from person to person through cough-ing or sneezing. By the way, these droplets can travel up to 3 feet from a cough or sneeze.

The other way is by touching these respiratory droplets from an infected person, either on an-other person or object, and then toughing one’s own nose, mouth or eyes.

I personally recommend most healthy folks take the seasonal influenza vaccine. Here’s a list of those who should

take the vaccine, and those who shouldn’t.

Those who should: Pregnant women, all children over the age of 6 months, anyone 50 years and older, people any age with chronic health conditions and those who live in long term care

facilities like nursing homes. People who are in contact with

and care for others who are at high risk for complications from flu, like healthcare workers, and caregivers to children and the elderly should also make a point of getting the vaccination.

Those who should not take the influenza vaccine: Those who’ve had a severe reaction to the vac-cine in the past, people who are allergic to chicken eggs, those who have developed a condition called “Guillian-Barre Syn-drome” (GBS) within six weeks of getting the vaccine, children less than 6 months of age (the flu vaccine is not approved for children less than 6 months) and people who are ill with fever.

Some worry that they’ll get the flu from the influenza vaccine … they can’t, because the flu

vaccine contains killed viruses. The nasal flu vaccine con-

tains weakened viruses, but can’t give the flu to a healthy individual. Remember, it takes about two weeks for a person who’s had the flu vaccine to be protected, so if exposed to the flu from someone else, within that time, one could still get the flu. Now, while it’s true I recommend taking the seasonal influenza vaccine, it’s equally true that I’m even more an advocate of natu-rally boosting your own immune system. A strong immune system is by far, and away the best way to fight off the numerous micro-bials that attack our bodies every minute of every day.
