Will there be horses in the

parade?

Look inside for...

By Jonathan AustinYancey County News

A small notice in the paper last week has blown into a controversy that has WLOS news shining a spotlight on Yancey County. The issue? Whether horses will be allowed in the upcoming Christmas parade.

The Yancey County / Burnsville Chamber o f C o m m e r c e announced last week that no horses would be allowed in the Christmas parade “due

to past history and insurance liability.”

T h a t l e d t o the creat ion of a Facebook page named “No Horses in the Christmas Parade” and comments from residents l ike “If there (aren’t) going to be horses in the Christmas parade I won’t be going, it’s that simple!” The comments brought the television news to town, and the story was featured on the local newscasts

Marty and Angie Murphy say they are just continuing a family tradition.

The couple, owners a n d o p e r a t o r s o f Murphy’s Greenery, Inc . , i n Hamr ick , recently bought the emty United Galax building on N.C. 80 South and expanded operations.

From the larger b u i l d i n g t h e business ships galax, lycopodium, moss and other mountain greenery “across the nation and overseas.”

T h e M u r p h y s can look back over generations who made a living picking and

selling mountain plants. “My grandparents, that’s how they made their living,” Angie said. “I have known galax all my life. That’s what my grandparents did, my parents, and me.”

And the couple hopes at least one of their two grown children – Brandon or Whitney - will follow in the tradition.

When they began their galax shipping business in 1991, “we started buying in a woodshed,” said Marty. “We just took baby steps. The Lord blessed us.”

For the fou r th s t r a i g h t y e a r , community support led to the success o f T h e M a y l a n d Community College Foundation’s annual Yancey County Dream Home Tour.

This year’s tour featured five amazing homes: two in town, one at Celo, one near the Mitchell County l i n e a n d o n e a t Mountain Air. Each of this year’s homes f e a t u r e d s p e c i a l geographic elements, such as panoramic views and splashing backyard waterways, causing this year’s repeat tour-goers to declare this the “best tour yet.”

The tour requires months of planning as well as the tireless commitment of over 50 volunteers, many of them members of the Yancey County community. The tour highlights the best that Yancey County has to offer: beautiful homes, spectacular fall foliage and the caring support of a community that values education.

Proceeds from the Dream Home Tour benefit projects at Mayland’s Yancey c a m p u s a n d t h e Intelligent Choice Scholarship, which is awarded to a top graduating senior from

Mountain Heritage High School. Lauren Reecer received this award for fall 2013.

Spec ia l t hanks belong to Earl and Char Koops, Darrell Heasley and Rebecca Schmidt, David and P a t t y M c I n t o s h , Michael and Patte Myers, and Pat and Janet Hepburn for opening their homes for the tour.

The Foundation is grateful to the Yancey County Chamber of Commerce and to the Yancey County T r a n s p o r t a t i o n A u t h o r i t y f o r continued assistance. A Touch of Cass, Ye Olde Country Store, OOAK Gallery, and WKYK/WTOE also helped translate this year ’s dream of a tour into a successful reality. The tour is the bra inchi ld of Foundation Board member Bill Baker, whose vision for the past four years has beautifully combined h i s p a s s i o n f o r education and his love for Yancey County.

Plans are already under way for the 2014 tour, set for Saturday, Oct. 11. Contact the Foundation office for more information.Laura R. Laughridge

Another Drug Take Back event will be held this weekend at three area pharmacies.

Residents of Yancey and Mitchell counties can help prevent pill abuse and theft by taking expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs for disposal to the Prescription Pad Pharmacy in Burnsville, the CVS Pharmacy in Spruce Pine and the Bakersville Pharmacy.

The drug turn in is Saturday, Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This service is free and anonymous; no questions asked.

“Drugs flushed away can harm our waterways, but drugs tossed into the trash can find their way into the hands of the wrong person and can harm or kill our children and young people,” said Dr. Daniel Barron, AMY Library regional director and Mitchell-Yancey Substance Abuse Task Force executive committee member. “The only safe way to

dispose of them is to turn them in to a legal deposit box.”

Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet. The traditional method for disposing unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards.

If turning in prescription drugs, leave the pills in the original container with any personal information (name, etc.) marked out. Leaving the pills in the original container is only for helping authorities in identifying the drugs that are turned in.

For more information, call Liz Elkins at the Prescription Pad at 678-3914 or Graham Children’s Health Services at 682-7899.

Drug Take Back set for this Saturday Community makes home tour a success

As we approach National Hospice Awareness Month, we at Yancey Hospice are truly blessed for the privilege of being part of the lives of our patients and families within our community. While the month of November is designated National Hospice Awareness Month, the reality is that end of life care can be needed by anyone, at any time.

The hospice philosophy is “Care on Your Terms.” Hospice care focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill or seriously ill patient’s pain and symptoms, and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs. Hospice care also involves assistance for patients’ families to help them cope with what is happening and provide care, education and support to keep the patient at home. Care is delivered by a qualified team of professional doctors, nurses, social workers, clergy and volunteers.

Choosing hospice care can be a difficult decision for patients and

their families. Too often people hesitate to explore the hospice option, because they are confused about hospice services or they believe it is only for the last days of a patient’s life. We believe that quality of life can and should be enriched at all stages. Hospice care makes the most impact on the lives of our patients and their families when it is chosen early in the disease progression.

Receiving hospice services begins with a request for those services. This may come from a doctor, hospital discharge planner, nurse, a family member or directly from the patient. This process begins by calling our office or contacting any of our staff. This is known as a referral to “evaluate and admit to hospice services if appropriate.” It is your choice to elect the 100% paid hospice benefit available through Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance companies. Yancey Hospice serves patients who reside in their homes,

assisted living and long-term care facilities throughout Yancey, Mitchell and Madison counties.

Yancey Hospice began as a volunteer organization in 1982 and became Medicare certified in 1984. Since its inception, Yancey Hospice has provided quality medical, emotional, spiritual, and social support to the residents of our community. We are members of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, Association for Home & Hospice Care of North Carolina, and the Carolinas Center for Hospice and End of Life Care. Yancey Hospice was one of only two WNC hospice agencies named a DEYTA 2013 Hospice Honors recipient, a prestigious honor recognizing hospice agencies providing the best patient care as rated by the patient’s caregiver.

As we reflect on the past, our success is attributed to the community support from our friends, family, church members, fellow residents, physicians, and

other area healthcare providers. As we ponder the future, we know our subsistence is dependent on your continued support.

While we’ve been serving our community for over 30 years, don’t be misled that hospice is hospice. There are other hospices providing services within our community. We are not affiliated with any other hospice and it is imperative that you ask for Yancey Hospice by name. You have the right to choose your hospice provider, and that choice is protected by law. We’re your local hospice and we honor the privilege of providing service to our community.

Please call Yancey Hospice at 682-9675 with any questions or requests for a guest speaker to make a presentation to your church, club or other organization.

“There is never a right time to do the

wrong thing.”It is important to all the

residents of Yancey County that businesses are allowed to flourish in our town. Visi-tors apparently like us for what we are.

I believe a town should provide fire and police pro-tection, should maintain water and sewer service, streetlights, solid waste and sidewalks.

I do not approve of the new 39-page law - the de-sign guidelines - that are so restrictive that new business is threatened, and property owners will not be able to sell or lease buildings or land. Because of this ill-formed law, core services provided in Burnsville - the county seat - will dwindle to the point that even well-established businesses will suffer and lo-cal folks will be forced to go elsewhere for the things they need. All because some town leaders want to tell business owners and landowners how their property needs to ‘look’. Five elected councillors ap-pointed five members of the planning board. These 10 people want to tell you how your business needs to ‘look’. This is way too much gov-ernment for our small town.

The council refused to let residents vote on the guide-lines, they refused to let the town attorney look at the proposed guidelines, and they even refused to obey the rules when they called the public hearing;. Why? Because they don’t want to hear your opinion!

If you are a resident of Burnsville I ask you to write my name in on the ballot for a council seat so I can work to keep Burnsville the local commerce center. I will work to see that town services are provided and that our town resources are managed effec-tively.

If you need a ride to the polls just call me at 682-2365 or 284-0108.

Just say

‘NO’ to ‘design guidelines’When I made the decision to not seek another term as Burnsville mayor I had planned to write you and talk about the progress we have made in rebuilding town finances; how we had secured grant funds to build water, sewer and sidewalk projects, and kept the town solvent. However, since July 26 I find myself in the awk-ward position of defending every resident and property owner against the most bur-densome property restric-tions I have ever seen. These ‘design guidelines’ - adopted in a “hurry, hurry and fix it later” fashion - are not what representative government is supposed to do. The town council refused to let you vote your approval or disap-proval. So I am asking you to write in my name - Danny McIntosh - on the ballot for

a seat on the town council so I can keep town government open and accessible to you. Please write me in on your ballot on Election Day.

From the frontMonday night.

Now, the decision to eliminate horses s e e m s t o h a v e been withdrawn as the chamber board of directors mulls o p t i o n s . “ T h e decision’s not been m a d e y e t , ” s a i d Chamber Executive D i r e c t o r G i n g e r Johnson. The original p l an was t o ban horses, she said, but the response has led the chamber to look for alternatives, she said. “This is something that the board is looking at. They are discussing severa l op t ions ,” Johnson said.

J o h n s o n s a i d children were at risk of injury due to the horses at or after last year’s Christmas parade. “I’m not worr ied about insurance. I’m worried about people getting hurt.”

L a s t y e a r a n a m b u l a n c e w a s called after reports

that a rider was also thrown from a horse, and others said riders led horses through a group of children on a grassy lot off U.S. 19E.

On the Facebook page, some suggested that riders and horses joined the parade last year without formally applying to be part of the parade. Others said the unruly riders wouldn’t be returning.

Johnson said she wanted to stress that she isn’t solely worried about insurance or liability. She said she is worried that someone will be hurt. Last year “there were a couple of times I was frightened for people,” she said. “I worry about the children sitting at the curb.”

T h e a n n u a l Chris tmas parade i s s chedu l ed fo r Saturday, Dec. 7 at 3 p.m. All entries must pre-register by Nov. 11.

Allen Bryant of t h e R a m s e y t o w n community says he can ’ t unde r s t and blaming all riders for the actions of a few. “I think there are other solutions the chamber could explore. They have the right - if they see someone acting out” or misbehaving, “they have the right to tell them they cannot ride” in the parade, he said.

But “horses are part of our heritage,” and a traditional part of the Burnsville Christmas parade, he said. Some people think horses can get spooked, he said, but “If I didn’t feel comfortable with the horse I wouldn’t bring it” to the parade.

Bryant said he and others feel strongly that horses should be allowed in the parade. “If you don’t stand up for what you believe in , what a re you worth?”

No horses in the parade?

From the frontfrom Lucille and John Griffin, and “when we bought it we were shipping about 25 boxes a week.” Each box held 5,000 galax leaves, which are used in ornamental floral decorations and as background greenery for displays and even salads.

Today, with a 4,000-plus square foot building and two refrigerated rooms they are shipping much more in a variety of containers. “We ship a box of 5,000,” Angie said, or half a box, or a quarter box.

Angie say they helped introduce the concept of giving galax picking

a formal season, and a time when it can rejuvenate. “Used to, they pulled year round,” Marty said. Today, “if we’re going to have a crop we’ve got to protect it.” No harvesting is allowed from May 1 through June 15.

The Murphys begin buying leaves in June. Leaf pickers working on government land now must get a permit from a federal office in Mars Hill.

Murphy’s Greenery employs three full-time staff and other part-time workers. The new location is 5040 N.C. 80 South. The telephone is 675-1351.

North Carolina once ran an advertising campaign promoting in-state tourism urging residents to discover “the state you’re in.” Unfortunately, many times we overlook what is our own backyard in search of greater adventures.

Ask 10 people from New York City have they ever been to the Statue of Liberty and you would be amazed at how many never have simply because it is there and they can go anytime.

I have been to Linville Gorge many times. I have seen the falls and observed the beauty of the area from many of the overlooks that surround it. However, I had never been down to the river to view the gorge from below. Considering archery deer season is in, as well as bear season, I thought this would be an ideal time to experience it.

Those of you who have been there know it is all but impossible to hunt in this way in the ‘Grand Canyon of the East,’ but this hunt was more for the adventure of it then it was to bag a game animal.

The his tory of the p lace i s phenomenal. The Cherokee and the Catawba Indians supposedly battled in this region back in the 1200s. The Cherokee were also responsible for the naming of the gorge indirectly. During an expedition in the mid 1700s, explorer William Linville and his son were captured by the Cherokee and scalped. Gen. Griffith Rutherford also used the ridge as a rendezvous point named Cathey’s Fort in battle with the Cherokee in 1776.

The gorge offers dozens of trails ranging from easy to moderate to difficult. Of course, this time of year the trees are cooperating nicely with their painted canvas of yellows, oranges, rust, and browns, with a little green mixed as well. Most trails are in the one mile to 1 1/2 mile range. If taking a trail to the bottom of the gorge, it is recommended to leave about two hours before sunset. The gorge gets dark quickly and I was told by one of the

attendants that if you get caught in the gorge in the da rk you might as well be prepared to stay until daylight.

W h i l e t h e r i d g e o f t h e g o r g e o f f e r s incredible views the bottom brings you a completely d i f f e r e n t p e r s p e c t i v e . From the top, you just do not get an appreciation of how vast the valley is. The Linville River c a s c a d e s t h e

entire length with waterfall after pool after waterfall. Look closely in the crystal water and you may spot a hatchery supported trout. The rock formations guarding the river provide picturesque views that deserve to be seen in

venues such as the Louvre in Paris. If great nature photographer Ansel Adams would have visited North Carolina, I am sure he

would have captured the same essence and feeling from subjects such as Babel Tower

and the Chimneys as he did from his many photos of the Half Dome from the Yosemite National Park.

If you wish to ‘get caught’ in the gorge after dark, you can. There are a limited number of overnight passes available at no charge for those who wish to camp in the gorge. On a clear night with a location allowing a view of the sky through the thick timber, you will be able to witness a starscape that only our earliest settlers and before were able to admire.

The Linville Gorge is definitely a destination to discover in the state you’re in.

Stars on the Square, an evening full of stargazing for astronomy aficionados, is Saturday, Nov. 2, at Burnsville’s town square.

The free event is sponsored by the Blue Ridge Astronomy Group, whose members share their high-powered telescopes with everyone who attends.

Among the objects to be viewed are the great Andromeda galaxy, Ring Nebula, Swan Nebula, star clusters and multiple star systems. As always the traffic around the square will be detoured and the lights on the square will be turned off to maximize the viewing experience.

Attendees will also receive information about a new public astronomical observatory that Mayland Community College is building near Burnsville.

“We’ll have the latest blueprints

of the roll-off-roof observatory building,” says Bob Hampton, one of the event organizers. “And we’ll have photos of a telescope similar to the giant 34-inch telescope that will be the centerpiece of the observatory.”

Starry skies are integral to Burnsville’s heritage as the town derives its name from naval captain Otway Burns, who used the stars to navigate his ships. An iconic statue of Burns – a hero in the War of 1812 – stands sentry over the town square.

The hours for Stars on the Square are 7 to 11 p.m., and there’s no charge for admission. In the case of clouds or inclement weather, the event will be moved to Nov. 9.

For more information, contact Bob Hampton a t (828) 675-4449, or go online to: www.BlueRidgeAstronomyGroup.com.

The “their biology makes them do it!” hypothesis concerning the oft-horrid behavior of today’s teens keeps on rolling along, charming parents of said teens into the comforting belief that said behavior has absolutely nothing to do with their parenting.

The most recent example appeared as a October 16, Wall Street Journal article that reviewed a study recently published in the journal Developmental Psychology. It’s now clear, says said article, that “the brain regions that support social cognition” - those that support the development of empathy - “continue to change dramatically” during the teen years. They aren’t fully developed.

Given that there are plenty of children who enter the teen years with well-developed empathy, do not bully other children, are not petulant, moody, disrespectful of authority, and otherwise horrid, the study in question is nothing but the latest exercise in academic mumbo-jumbo by the folks who want you to believe the deterministic myth that bad behavior is the result of things like hormones, biochemical imbalances, and inadequate blood supply to the left frontal lobe, all, of course, the result of genes (which were inherited from the child’s father).

I recently spoke with an individual who has spent a good amount of time working with youth in African villages, where one teacher is often found teaching close to 100 children.

Living

with

children

They’re just pampered, spoiled and entitled teens

During her tenure in these villages, my friend saw but one child whose classroom behavior was out of line. The Wall Street Journal says “The teen years are often fraught with door-slamming, eye-rolling, and seeming insensitivity….” Correction: That would be teenagers in the United States, and not all of them by any means.

Do teens in Africa have abnormal biology? How about those American teens who are not petulant, moody, insensitive, and disrespectful? What about teens 50-plus years ago? We did not slam doors, isolate ourselves in our rooms, refuse to interact with family members for days at a time, or engage in the sort of narcissistic drama that characterizes so many of today’s adolescents. Neither did teens in the 1830s, whom Toqueville, in “Democracy in America,” described as trustworthy, hard-working, responsible members of their communities.

It is also well known that brain structures

and functionality reflect prior training. I am led, by the preponderance of evidence contradicting the research in question, to conclude that teens who are self-dramatic, disrespectful, and lacking in empathy are the product of precisely what the study’s authors say they are not: homes in which they have been pampered, spoiled, entitled, and told that the only people on the planet who really matter are them. Of significance are consistent research findings to the effect that high self-esteem - the brass ring of American parenting since the early 1970s - is incompatible with empathy and respect for others and that bullies have high self-esteem.

One trains a child to pay attention and respond functionally to the needs of others. That does not happen magically. Historically, such social training involved rigorous teaching of social courtesies, aka good manners. The fact is that all too many of today’s parents are too busy running their children from one extracurricular activity to another to spend adequate time teaching them that the world doesn’t revolve around them, that other people matter. The researchers in question propose to let these parents off the hook. Their attempt at parenting absolution makes no sense, but it will sell.

Mayland celebrates Medical Assisting Recognition weekMayland Community College

Medical Assisting students are celebrating Medical Assisting Recognition Week this week. Every year, Medical Assistants Recognition Week is celebrated during the third full week in October.

“The students at Mayland want to wish all medical assistants a wonderful week,” said Mayland medical assisting student Corey Robinson. “We have enjoyed working along side with them and appreciate all the hard work they do.”

Mayland’s Medical Assisting Program prepares multi-skilled health care professionals qualified to perform administrative, clinical, and laboratory procedures. Certified medical assistants are in high demand due to a need to employ a more versatile healthcare worker who can perform administrative, clinical and lab procedures. According to the US Department of Labor, medical assistants will remain in high demand through the year 2018.

“I think medical assisting is a

good career choice, especially in today’s economy,” said Robinson. “It’s a very versatile career because we can go into a health care facility and work at the front desk as well as in the clinic area. It’s a great advantage.”

Course work includes instruction in scheduling appointments, medical billing and coding and processing of insurance claims, collections, medical transcription, electronic health records and computer operations; assisting the physician with examinations/treatments, patient instruction, p e r f o r m i n g r o u t i n e C L I A waived laboratory procedures, electrocardiography, medication administration, venipuncture; and ethical/legal issues associated with patient care.

Gradua tes o f CAAHEP-accredited medical assisting programs may be eligible to sit for the American Association of Medical Assistants’ Certification Examination to become Certified Medical Assistants (CMA). Employment oppor tun i t i es include physicians’ offices,

health maintenance organizations, health d e p a r t m e n t s , a n d hospitals.

Clinicals during the program at Mayland give the students the opportunity to put their classroom learning to work. Students work in local health care facilities and spend part of their time performing administrative work and part of their time working with patients.

“I enjoyed working with people during our clinical experience,” said Mayland medical assisting

student Rachel Washburn. “It was nice to put a name with a face and helping them.”

From Yancey County SchoolsThe State Board of Education

has adopted guidelines for the development and implementation of individual diabetes care plans as required by Senate Bill 911.

These guidelines have been developed with consultation from the NC Diabetes Advisory Council and local school administrative employees.

A procedure for the development of an individual diabetes care plan is at the written request of the student’s parent(s) or guardian. The individual care plan is reviewed annually. Information on the individual care plan include the responsibilities of the parent, appropriate school staff, an emergency health care plan, the identification of allowable actions to be taken, the extent to which the student is able to participate

in his/her own diabetes care and management and other information necessary for teachers and other school personnel in order to offer appropriate assistance and support to the student.

As required by Senate Bill 911, all school employees will complete a basic training about diabetes including signs and symptoms of diabetic emergencies and first aid procedures in collaboration with principals, school nurses and staff. (Senate Bill 911-G. S. 115c-47-Care for school Children with Diabetes.)

If you have any questions concerning the diabetes care plan, please call Pete Peterson, Director of Student Services, at 828-682-6101, or talk to your school health nurse or the middle schools health clinics.

Diabetic care for students

Researchers have begun the first definitive, large-scale clinical trial to investigate if a vitamin D supplement helps prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in adults who have prediabetes, who are at high risk for developing type 2. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, the study is taking place at about 20 study sites across the United States.

The multiyear Vitamin D and Type 2 Diabetes (D2d) study will include about 2,500 people. Its goal is to learn if vitamin D — specifically D3 (cholecalciferol) — will prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in adults aged 30 or older with prediabetes. People with prediabetes have blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes.

“This study aims to definitively answer the question: Can vitamin D reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes?” said Myrlene Staten, M.D., D2d project officer at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), part of NIH. “Vitamin D use has risen sharply in the U.S. in the last 15 years, since it has been suggested as a remedy for a variety of conditions, including prevention of type 2 diabetes. But we need rigorous testing to determine if vitamin D will help prevent diabetes. That’s what D2d will do.”

“Past observational studies have suggested that higher levels of vitamin D may be beneficial in preventing type 2 diabetes, but until this large, randomized and controlled clinical trial is complete, we won’t know if taking vitamin D supplements lowers the risk of diabetes,” said Anastassios G. Pittas, M.D., the study’s principal investigator at Tufts Medical Center, Boston.

D2d is the first study to directly examine if a daily dose of 4,000 International Units (IUs) of vitamin D — greater than a typical adult intake of 600-800 IUs a day, but within limits deemed appropriate for clinical research by the Institute of Medicine — helps keep people with prediabetes from getting type 2 diabetes. Based on observations from earlier studies, researchers speculate that vitamin D could reduce the diabetes risk by 25 percent. The study will also examine if sex, age or race affect the potential of vitamin D to reduce diabetes risk.

“An es t imated 79 mi l l ion Americans have prediabetes , and nearly 26 million more have diabetes,” said NIDDK Director Griffin P. Rodgers, M.D. “With D2d, we seek evidence for an affordable and accessible way to help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.”

Researchers are recrui t ing volunteers to take part in D2d. Half of the participants will receive vitamin D. The other half will receive a placebo — a pill that has no drug effect. Participants will have check-ups for the study twice a year, and will receive regular health care through their own health care providers.

The study will be double-blinded, so neither participants nor the study’s clinical staff will know who is receiving vitamin D and who is receiving placebo. The study will continue until enough people have developed type 2 diabetes to be able to make a scientifically valid comparison between diabetes development in the two groups, likely about four years.

D2d builds on previous NIH-funded studies of methods to delay or prevent type 2 diabetes, including the Diabetes Prevention Program, which showed that, separately, lifestyle changes to lose a modest amount of weight and the drug metformin are both effective in slowing development of type 2 diabetes in people with prediabetes. However, additional safe and effective preventative strategies are needed to stem the increasing numbers of people developing type 2 diabetes.

D2d (ClinicalTrials.gov number

NCT01942694 is supported under NIH grant U01DK098245. The NIDDK is the primary sponsor of the trial, with additional support from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and the American Diabetes Association. Support in the form of educational materials is provided by the National Diabetes Education Program.
