Transforming 'patients' into 'real people' Stucker reflects on his background, work at CooperRiis by Jeff Byrd

Virgil Stucker, the founding executive director of CooperRiis Healing Community in Mill Spring, never aimed at a life of helping the mentally ill. After college he aimed at traveling aimlessly, in an old UPS van. He had career opportunities as well, more worldly opportunities. Yet working in therapeutic communities became his calling almost by chance. Stucker was born in stark circumstances in Guymon, (Continued on page 3)

District One budget woes an issue in House Seat 38 election Furloughs, salary cuts save more than $1M by John Clayton

As South Carolina legislators haggled over a proposed $400 million in cuts to the upcoming state budget in Columbia this week, Spartanburg County Schools District One officials braced for what they anticipate to be more cuts to an already threadbare budget. The budget debate has been among

central issues leading up to Tuesday’s Republican primary run-off election for House District 38 between incumbent Joey Millwood and challenger Doug Brannon. So far, the District One board has approved furloughs for certified and classified employees that will cut about $700,000 for the current budget. A 15-percent salary cut for all working retirees has also been approved, saving about $400,000.

4/8 “Miracles on Highway 108” is a Community on its 80 pristine roWJ-036001 phrase that became part of the language at CooperRiis in Mill Spring shortly after it opened in 2003. Since then almost 400 individuals have come from around the country – and beyond – to benefit from the facility's mental health recovery program. A recent mother and father of a former CooperRiis resident write, “CooperRiis saved our son’s life and helped him to become a contributing, valuable and happy member of society”. Another father in tears recently said, “Thank you, you gave me my daughter back…” These and other stories over the years have become known as the “Miracles on Highway 108.” The ravages of mental illness can too often lead to tragedies, to destroyed families and to destroyed lives. For those who come to CooperRiis, the outcome is different. The gentle and professional care provided daily and diligently by more than 100 CooperRiis staff helps to assure recovery for its residents - one person at a time. Even now – after seven years – many in Polk County are unfamiliar with what happens within the CooperRiis Healing

and peaceful acres. Some have said this is an “unknown jewel.” Some are also unaware that CooperRiis is fueled by philanthropy and that through the generosity of its donors more than half of its residents are on scholarship. CooperRiis is "opening its doors" with the "world premiere" showing of a 50-minute film about its work, right in Tryon. Everyone is invited to view this "emotional, professional and informative piece" and to enjoy some conversation with its staff and board at a following reception. “Miracles on Highway 108” is a CooperRiis documentary on Mental Health Recovery produced at CooperRiis in Mill Spring and Asheville, N.C. It will make its debut at Tryon Fine Arts Center, 34 Melrose Avenue in Tryon on June 22 at 7 p.m. It was produced by “plan A films” and directed and produced by Chusy Jardine and Andy O’Neill. Admission is free and the public is invited.

to help out. “Understanding makes the fear go away. People are frightened by mental illness,” he explains. Stucker has done other things along the way. He worked as a community banker, taking a brief leave of CooperRiis from July 2007 to June 2008. Earlier in his career, he headed up charitable foundations. The same principles he uses at CooperRiis applied in foundation work, he says. He found donors also need to realize their dreams and find community in their giving. Stucker earned his degree in philosophy and political science in 1974. As soon as he finished,

The idea of therapeutic communities like CooperRiis, Stucker LambsfoLdfarm - page 2 says, is that whatever is troubling to a person is what “disturbs community.” “What is in your way, what illusion and what organizational resources are needed to get rid of the impediments?” Mental illness takes people to a place where they are disengaged, he says. It rips them out of society. Nurturing relationships help move them back to health. They wake up to see that “the world needs me,” and they want

he took off to see the world in a canary yellow, stripped down 1946 UPS truck — until the engine blew. He started out with $10 in his pocket. When the aimless drifter plan blew up, Stucker parked at a friend’s house. The next day, he took a job as an orderly at a psychiatric hospital. ”I had volunteered at a psychiatric hospital while in college. I was fascinated. I had never seen people who were in that kind of distress,” he says. He was a group therapist with youth there and was assigned to talk to disoriented patients just waking up from shock therapy. He later heard of the Gould Farm, the United States’ oldest therapeutic community, located in the Berkshire Mountains in western Massachusetts. He went there as a 23-year-old to be a house parent for the summer.

Some of the families helped by Gould asked him to do just that, and he started the Gateway therapeutic community in Chester, Va., south of Richmond, Va. After a year back at Gould in 1988, he moved to Detroit to “bootstrap” a new program, the Rose Hill Center, on a 372-acre farm. He helped to raise $6 million and spent five years there. One of the keys to therapeutic communities, Stucker says, is “connecting with people’s passion. What is it you really want to do? People have the greatest dreams if you just listen.” So rather than focus only on a person’s despair, or the medical diagnoses, Stucker says he believes a good place to start to (Continued on page 8)

Brannon said officials from school districts one and two, both of which have residents within District 38, should be lauded for making the necessary budget cuts while protecting educational programs. “They have cut their budgets to the bone in areas that don’t specifically affect the classroom,” Brannon said. “On the flip side, the legislature is obligated to fund education and law enforcement before it funds anything else. . . . It will be my goal to fund those two constitutional obligations and then make the cuts in other areas.” “We’ve been making adjustments at midstream and those midstream adjustments are becoming scary,” District One Superintendent Ron Garner said. “So far, we’ve been able to maintain, but if this continues, you are certainly facing the real aspect of making tough decisions that impact quality and we don’t to do that – no one does.” The District One board approved a $36.9 million budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year Monday night, but Garner is wary that the budget cuts that have plagued the district over the past couple of years are not over. “We’re very concerned,” Garner said. “It’s been tough and what concerns us the most is what lies ahead, based on some of the forecasts we’re getting.” Among Garner’s concern is the disparity between funds allocated to the District One by the state and the amount that actually makes it to the district’s coffers. For the past two years, the district administration has made cuts totaling more than $3 million, including $2.1 million last year, to meet shortfalls from the state, Garner said. “We need some help from our legislature. There has to be some stability put into the revenue streams from our state legislature,” he said. “We’re hoping and praying for some help from the state level and for some stabil-

ity to be brought back into our economy and tax code.” The District 1 budget is about $1 million lighter than last year. Fifteen positions have been cut, all due to attrition. But most of the district’s previous budget cuts have happened after the approval of the initial budgets due mainly to shortfalls from the state. Those cuts reflect a loss of some $2 billion state revenue since 2007. Federal stimulus funds helped the district from making more drastic cuts last year. With the stimulus funds, the district was able to keep its per-student cost level at $2,034, compared to the $2,720 per student that it was previously, Garner said. Without those stimulus funds, the base cost is down to $1,630 per student. “Those stimulus finds saved the day last year, but now they’re gone, so for the time being, here is where we are,” Garner said. Brannon said the legislature needs to find funds to help educators do their jobs, including diverting lottery funds previously earmarked for higher education to primary education. “I don’t think we need to cut necessary services, but we need to provide a well-educated, trained work force and safe communities,” Brannon said. “It’s a trickle-down theory. If we do those things, the other things will come.” Millwood, who did not return a call seeking comment for this story, has campaigned as a fiscal conservative against government growth and tax increases. On Wednesday, Millwood voted to put some money back into technical education, but was among five legislators, including gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley, to vote against $4.7 million in statewide spending for public libraries. “This is a tough budget year, and it’s all about priorities,” Millwood told the Spartanburg Herald-Journal. “You weigh everything versus our core services.”

Tryon to rezone Rippy Rd. site for commercial use by Leah Justice

Tryon has approved the rezoning of a property off Rippy Road from residential to institutional professional (IP). The rezoning was recommended recently by the Tryon Board of Planning and Zoning, which had recommended the same rezoning last year but was turned down by town council. Last year nearby residents expressed concerns to town council that they did not want to have a commercial building at the front of the road entrance. At a recent public hearing, residents at first expressed the same concerns, but after hearing that the current zoning of R5 allows for manufactured homes and IP does not, residents agreed for the property to be rezoned IP. Myrna Viehman of Foothills Realty represented the Shields property and said at one time

Dr. Rosenberg was interested in building an office there, but since the property was not rezoned, he sought other options. Viehman said there is currently no one interested in the property. The parcel is a total of nine acres, but the rezoning will apply to only five acres. One residential property on the parcel is now non-conforming. Property owners have expressed some concern about how a commercial building would look there, about increased traffic over the bridge and about flooding. Planning and zoning chair John Walters said since it would be a business, the planning and zoning board would have to approve a site plan before construction could begin. The board could also request the business to have more buffers than re-

quired. Residents also expressed concern about a mobile home currently located there and non-conforming uses of the home.

Resident Franklin McKaig told property owners they would be better off zoning the parcel professional because mobile homes wouldn’t be allowed there.

Sheriff seizes almost $7k through drug enforcement

Make ad NO lArgEr than 2x7.5 effective 4/7/08

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office recently held a two-day I-26 drug enforcement activity, in which numerous persons were arrested and narcotics money and stolen items were recovered. The sheriff’s office stopped more than 50 vehicles over the two-day process. On June 3 and June 4, Polk’s sheriff’s office teamed up with the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office and increased the presence of criminal enforcement on I-26. Officials stopped vehicles in an effort to locate fugitives,

narcotics, money used to buy narcotics, weapons, and other stolen merchandise. Out of the 50 vehicle stops $6,951 in U.S. currency was seized, six individuals were arrested (two of them wanted from other jurisdictions) and numerous stolen items were recovered (estimated value $2,500). One of these stops led to two firearms and money being recovered from a vehicle in South Carolina after authorities were notified by the units working in Polk County.

their names on a list to file an appeal if Polk County approves plans for a swim and tennis country club at Stone Hedge Inn, according to the county planning office. The county says the four people have asked to be notified if and when the development company, Watercress Group, files for a land use change and the county permits the proposed new use. Polk zoning administrator Cathy Ruth has said she would approve the proposed land use because country clubs are listed among the permitted uses in the RE-1 zoning district. County residents who disagree with her interpretation of the ordinance will then have 30 days to appeal the decision. Only one person will have to pay a $100 fee and officially file an appeal to send the matter to the county’s zoning board of adjustment. The quasi-judicial board would then hear evidence from both sides before making a ruling. The zoning board’s decision could then be appealed to Superior Court. Watercress Group had not filed for the land use change as of Monday afternoon, according to the planning office. Jeff Tempest, manager of the swim and tennis country club project for Watercress, said he met recently with neighboring property owners to address their concerns. He has said he planned to file for the land use change in the near future so the appeal process could be concluded in the next couple months and the group could move forward with construction. A closing date on the project has been set for early September. Tempest said he hoped to gain

Polk County commissioners learned last week that the new Department of Social Services (DSS) building could cost between $1.4 million and $1.5 million. County manager Ryan Whitson told commissioners last week that the architectural drawings for the building are nearly complete and the bids for grading will be taken beginning July 8. He said once the grading contract is approved, grading should begin shortly after at the site. Commissioners approved a budget ordinance for the DSS building in the amount of $2 million to pay costs occurring before the county seeks a loan for construction. Commissioner Tommy Melton voted against the budget ordinance. He said he isn’t comfortable saying he is in favor of spending $2 million for the building. Other commissioners said they are only approving the ordinance to allow for expenditures and agree they don’t want to spend that much. The county can amend the ordinance up or down depending on actual expenditures once bids are received.

Design) certified. Whitson said Monday that architects are planning on presenting the design during the commissioners’ meeting Monday, June 21. The building is being proposed at 11,900 square foot with a metal roof and mostly masonry structure, Whitson said. Commissioners decided last year to get all offices out of the aged Jervey Palmer building in Tryon as soon as possible because it is in poor condition and because of the high costs of maintaining the building. The county purchased the former Carolina Classical School and moved the Meeting Place Senior Center and veteran's affairs there. Officials plan to house DSS and possibly the mental health services department in the new building. Construction of the new building is expected to begin sometime this year.

District One budget cuts from state total $1.8 million The Spartanburg County District One Schools are going to work next year with about $1.8 million less in state funding this coming year. District Supt. Ron Garner in an interview last week said the district schools budget is down from $38 million to about $36 million, including a $1.8 million cut from the state. Garner said he has planned

several measures to cope. Teachers across the district will be asked to take five days off without pay this year, and administrators ten days. School personnel who reached retirement but chose to continue working will receive a 15 percent pay reduction. In addition, the district, which serves 5,100 students, is hoping (Continued on page 21)

cut off and controls put in place for maximum efficiency in airconditioning and heating. Over the past two years the district has eliminated or not filled 25 positions. Again this year, some positions will not be filled. “We have not had any reductions in force or lay-offs,” Garner said. Part of the problem for South Carolina education was the passage of Act 388, which removed the property tax on owneroccupied homes. The plan was to replace that revenue stream with a hike in sales tax. “We shifted from a property tax, a stable revenue source, to sales tax, an unstable source. Then came the downturn,” Garner said. “The planets aligned to create the worst case scenario.” Garner, however, said the solution now is not the repeal of Act 388. “You can’t tax people at this time, and place the property tax back on homeowners. That is just not feasible,” he said.

but we don’t realize this. Marianne Williamson so eloquently stated, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.” Be brilliant right now in everything you do. I feel the most vibrant when I am out in nature. I go out to get away from all the hectic buzz and square rooms. My third piece of advice to you all is to get connected with Mother Nature. I am a vegetarian by choice because I feel light and energetic from eating fresh foods harvested from rich soil. I’m not implying that you have to become vegans, but think about all the life that is packed into a tomato versus the life that’s in a Twinkie. It’s a simple choice. Instead of watching a sitcom, choose to watch the sunrise. I think the easiest way to feel a connection with God is to sit on a mountain top and pray or meditate. Learn about God’s creations to learn about him. And love everything you see. Love is the final piece that I want to share with you. It’s a commandment and a way of life. Reaching even deeper than love is forgiveness. When you forgive your enemies, you are basically acknowledging that you see a fault but love them unconditionally. Forgive yourself too. Popular spiritual author Dr. Wayne Dyer says, “You can sit there forever, lamenting about how bad you’ve

in Mrs. Copolillo’s geometry class, getting pumped for punctuation and grammar with Mrs. Weicker, 2x2.5 the excitement 5/7 of playing my first varsity soccer game for Coach Pack MHRe-036477 and Rock, even the fear that choked me when I passed large herds of big, scary seniors (I could never fully grasp the concept that one day, I would be one). Though most memories of freshman year have faded, I still know that those years have been instrumental in shaping the person that I am now. Had it not been for the amazing faculty of PCHS, friends, family, and even the citizens of Polk County we might not all be sitting here before you. Without knowing it, YOU all are shaping this generation with your challenges, encouragements, wisdom, and simple presence, So THANK YOU. Thank you. I know that I don’t say it nearly enough. Saying and living those two simple words is just one component out of four that I will be addressing. Be a living breathing exhibit of gratitude. Send gratitude to the crotchety cashier at the drive-thru window that obviously wishes he were somewhere else or to your grumpy, old neighbor and even to your enemies. Use the words thank you to brighten any situation. If you work in the service industry you notice that those words can turn your day around, so why not flip someone’s day? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. By everything I mean feeling inner peace… Which brings me to part two.

Free glaucoma screening June 23 Edney Eye Associates is offering a free glaucoma detection screening at his office at 69 Shuford Road in Columbus on Wednesday, June 23 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness, slowly steals the sight of the afflicted, and once sight is lost, it can never be regained. Unfortunately, many of those at risk do not have access to or the resources for regular eye exams, thereby increasing the chance of blindness and leading to a reduced quality of life. During Dr. Edney’s screening, his staff technicians will use the new (no air puff) tonometer to measure the pressure in each eye. If a high pressure reading is given, the staff will encourage the screening participant to visit his or her eye care provider for further diagnosis and treatment. Glaucoma gradually causes vision loss due to damage to the optic nerve from elevated eye pressure levels. In most cases of glaucoma, vision loss is gradual and painless - often making the disease undetectable. However, through early detection and the help of medications, it is possible to slow down and even halt further vision loss. Those individuals most at risk of glaucoma include anyone over age 60, those with diabetes or a family history of glaucoma, and African-Americans over age 40. – article submitted

Seat covers are relatively inexpensive, easy to install and are one of the most dramatic ways to impact the interior. Perhaps best of all, they come in thousands of colors and fabric combinations. Like floor mats, seat covers can be ordered with emblems or logos on them, so you can show off your team spirit or school pride. —NAPS

House of Flags reveals raffle winners The House of Flags Museum conducted its fundraising raffle drawing at 12 p.m. on June 14 at the Veterans’ Memorial Park in Columbus. A small crowd of onlookers observed the proceedings which were conducted by Paul Sutherland, vice chairman of the House of Flags Museum’s board of directors. Reverend Ralph Kuether served as the official monitor for the drawing and Bobby Arledge, assistant fire chief

of the Columbus Fire Department, drew the three winning raffle tickets. Since the raffle had been converted earlier to a 50/50 type raffle, all the prizes awarded were cash prizes. Winning the first prize of $5,318.40 was Jerry Atkins of Tryon. The second prize of $166.20 was awarded to Ronnie Watts of Roebuck, S.C. and the third prize of $55.40 went to Charley Anthony of Landrum, S.C. – article submitted

•Obamacare (continued from page 44)

31-million more people will be added to the roles of the insured, with immediate coverage and access to healthcare benefits that they previously didn’t have, and oftentimes did not seek for financial reasons. Those patients are going to impact the system, and not a single word was spoken about the lack of doctors today, and the dramatic increase in patient load that many doctors will face as they see their practices flooded with newly insured patients. And that doesn’t even begin to consider the numbers of doctors who will leave medical practice rather than face either declining incomes, or operating their practices at a financial loss. Obamacare never addressed the issue of liability, and trial lawyers we will see a dramatic increase in malpractice opportunities as doctors face increased patient loads, decreased time available with each patient, and increased patient outcomes that fail to meet the expectations of the patient or families being served in short time periods by the physicians. Seniors will face rationing. Certain procedures and practices now being provided by physicians to the

85-plus year old seniors – our fastest growing population segment – will be cut back for two main reasons: 1. Because seniors may refuse or be unable to pay for some of their care as required under Obamacare; and 2. Because of reimbursement cuts to doctors who will begin to see outcome based payments established. The return on the dollars invested in older citizens will not justify, under Obamacare, the approval for some of the medical practices now being offered, or the doctor’s reimbursement will be so low as to not be able to afford to do what can be done. Many procedures will be deemed by the Obamacare Review Panels as too costly with too limited a benefit in return, and patients will be denied. This is what will become the defacto death panels. These are just a few of the surprises in the 2700 page law. Stay tuned. There will be more.

Blackburn gives Polk honor speech Editor’s Note: The following speech was made by Tiffany Blackburn, one of PCHS’s honors students, at the graduation ceremony held Friday, June 11. Good evening everyone and congratulations to my fellow graduates. We are here tonight to commemorate our achievements and to recognize those who helped us achieve them.

enthusiasm and read aloud stories. The next year, on the other end of the spectrum, I had Mr. Brumley, who loved sixth graders. He instilled within me a love for science even though he had the sweet disposition of a rattlesnake. Over the next two years I was further inspired in my love of science by Mrs. Newton. My quest to gain knowledge then brought me to Polk County High. There my desire to learn was further refined by Mr. Picher. In his class I had to write my first paper on short notice in only one class period. This was very difficult but it taught me to express my thoughts clearly and quickly. Now we come to Mrs. Allsbrook, who was and is the very personification of perseverance and determination. She spent last summer writing grants because she saw a need for a biotechnology class to better equip students. She wanted to provide them with college level lab experience and an awareness of up and coming fields of scientific study. All of these teachers, as well as many others, taught me valuable lessons for life, not just academic exercises. They taught me to push through adversity, and that to truly learn something you have to care. To sum it all up, I learned that the most important part of gaining knowledge is not solely in the academics, but in the intangibles. Being surrounded by people who have integrity, having a good support system of educators, and having the drive and commitment within yourself to overcome any obstacles. To speak honestly these last few years have been enlightening, invigorating, unnerving, and unbelievable, and I would like to thank my teachers, family, friends, administrators, and fellow students for making them memorable. – Tiffany Blackburn, honors student

Cast announced for TLT/ TYC’s ‘Charlotte’s Web’

July 29, 2010 at the Tryon Fine Arts Center: the curtain opens and there stands a barn in silhouette, and “Charlotte’s Web,” the fifth annual production with young actors ages 8 to 12, takes the stage… Jump back to 1952, when children of the world met a wonderful new friend – Wilbur, a sweet, energetic young pig who says when he’s born, “Who am I? Where am I? I’ve never been here before. I’ve never been anywhere before. Everything seems so strange. But I like it…I think.” You see, Wilbur has been born on the Arabel farm, one of 11 piglets in a litter, but Momma Pig only has 10 place settings, so Farmer Arabel decides to kill the runt of the litter – Wilbur. But Arabel’s young daughter Fern begs to raise the little pig as a pet (and you know how fathers give in to loving little daughters). The adventure begins. So starts E. B. White’s beloved classic children’s tale “Charlotte’s Web,” adapted for the stage by Joseph Robinette. The heroine of the piece is a grey spider named Charlotte who lives in the same barn as Wilbur, and who comforts the lonely young piglet by telling him she will be his friend. In order to avoid Wilbur’s being fattened up for slaughter, Charlotte concocts an ingenious scheme to get humans to view Wilbur as very, very special, and he becomes the most celebrated pig in the world. Charlotte doesn’t do this alone, of course. She recruits all the barn animals – geese, goslings, sheep, lambs, and especially a conniving rat named Templeton, to help promote the little piglet to stardom with the humans – farmers, farm visitors, fairgoers, newspaper people. In the Tryon Little Theater/ Tryon Youth Center production, the animals are, of course, played by two-legged actors. Will Costine is cast as Wilbur, Colleen Burke as Charlotte, Scarlett Mosseller as Templeton, Reese Alley as the Goose, Luke Umphlett as the Gander, and as their Goslings – Jenna Livers, Zachary Dyer, Caitlin Caudle, Zack Martin, Allie Anderson, Alita Rossen, and Eric Harrelson.

Isabella Marino is the Old Sheep, while Ave Marino plays the Little Lamb. Other Animals are played by Kate Padgett, Hannah Watkins, and Landry Edwards. And toward play’s end, the Baby Spiders are portrayed by Allie Anderson, Jenna Livers, and Caitlin Caudle. As for the people: Farmer Arabel is Josh Meng, Mrs. Arabel is Logan Wright, daughter Fern is Katie Shanahan, son Avery is Kyle Gilmore, and hired hand Lurvy is Colin Gillie.

Go, figure! Hudson takes 4th in competitive debut Staff reports

six months of grueling training and diet paid big dividends for tracy Hudson. the trainer at tryon Health and Fitness Club, wife and mother of two (sean, age 8, and raven, age 4), took fourth place in the Carolina supernatural Bodybuilding and Figure competition this past weekend at spartanburg Memorial auditorium. “I really enjoyed training for this,” Hudson said. “I nourished my body by eating six meals a day of very clean foods; I took supplements, weight-trained five days a week and did cardio six days a week.” Hudson competed in the Figuretall category, a division judged with different criteria than bodybuilding with more focus on overall fitness.

Trowell opts for tennis, Pioneers By John Clayton

McKenzie trowell was ready to leave competitive tennis behind as she prepared for college. But spartanburg Methodist College changed her plans. “I didn’t see this coming at all,” said trowell, a two-sport athlete at polk County High school who signed a grant-inaid to play tennis at sMC after a successful senior season. “sports was not on my horizon at all, but then I got a call from (sMC head tennis coach rodney McCallister) and it went from there. “they have a really good tennis program and I have had really good conversations with the coach.” trowell, who graduated from pCHs this past week, earned a 10-2 record in singles and a matching 10-2 record in doubles this past fall for the Wolverines. she only played her junior and senior seasons at pCHs after running track and cross country as a freshman and sophomore. “I was trying to find the sports that I liked, and I really didn’t like cross country,” she said. “then, I had a class with (pCHs tennis coach Joel picher) and we talked about tennis and he gave me a call and kind of recruited me.” trowell started playing tennis as a fifth grader, taking lessons in the summer. When polk County Middle school opened, she joined the club team. “I kind of got the hang of it right away,” she said. “then, last summer, I worked as hard as I could to get as far as I could.” that work paid off with victories on the court and the eventual offer from sMC. this summer, she said her (Continued on page 52)

Discount travel tips for retirees Dear Savvy Senior, Can you write a column on U.S. travel discounts for seniors? My husband and I are approaching retirement and love to travel but have a limited budget. Discount Travelers Dear Travelers, Everybody loves a bargain but in today’s tight economy, senior discount travel deals that have real value are getting harder to find. Here are some tips to help you find the best deals. Senior Discounts? When it comes to senior travel bargains, an important point to keep in mind is that the “senior discount” may not always be the best deal. Hotels, airlines and cruise lines, for example, offer advanced bookings along with special deals and promotions from time to time that may be a lower rate than what the senior discount is. Always ask about the lowest possible rate and the best deal available. With that said, here’s a breakdown of the different senior travel discounts that are available today and where you can find them. AARP discounts: If you’re a member of AARP, various travel discounts are available on hotels, rental cars, cruises and vacation packages. To find them see aarp. org/travel or expedia-aarp.com, or call 800-675-4318. Airlines: Southwest (southwest.com, 800-435-9792) has the best senior fare program, offering discounts on walk-up fares to passengers 65 and older. American (aa.com, 800-433-7300), Continental (continental.com, 800-523-3273), U.S. Airways (usairways.com, 800-428-4322) also offer limited senior fares to passengers 65-plus to selected destinations.

Savvy Senior Train discounts: Amtrak (www.amtrak.com, 800-8727245), the nationwide rail network, provides a 15 percent discount to coach travelers age 62 and older. And a 10 percent discount to passengers 60 and older on cross-border services operated jointly by Amtrak and VIA Rail Canada. Bus travel: Greyhound (greyhound.com, 800-231-2222), the largest provider of intercity bus transportation, offers a 5 percent discount on unrestricted fares to seniors over 62. Peter Pan (peterpanbus.com, 800-343-9999), which serves the Northeast region of the U.S., offers the same deal. Trailways (trailways.com, 800776-7581), a privately owned bus company also provides senior discounts but they vary by location. And, most local bus lines and public transportation offer discounted senior passes. Car rentals: Most car rental companies offer 5 to 25 percent discounts to customers who belong to 50-and-older organizations like AARP. Good discounts are also available to AAA (aaa. com) members. To shop around for the best rental car deals use travel aggregator sites like orbitz. com or kayak.com. Hotels: Most hotels in the U.S. offer senior discounts usually ranging from 10 to 30. Age eligibility will vary by hotel, usually starting at age 50, 55, 60 or 62. Hyatt (hyatt.com, 888-591-1234) offers the biggest hotel discounts – up to 50 percent off to seniors age 62 and older. Cruising: If you’re interested in taking a cruise, there are lots of bargains available regardless

of age. To find them use cruisecompete.com (800-797-4635), which can give you the lowest prices for the dates and ports you specify. In addition, some cruise lines offer seniors discounts on select cruises to passengers 55 and older. The best way to find these is to contact a travel agent (see cruising.org to find an agent who specializes in cruises), or check with a few cruise brokers like vacationstogo.com (800-338-4962), cruise411.com (899-553-7090), or ecruises.com (800-223-6868). National Parks: One of the best travel deals available is the “America The Beautiful – Senior Pass” (www.nps.gov/fees_passes.htm). This is a lifetime pass that will let you, plus three other adults and any number of children traveling in your vehicle into national parks, forests, recreation areas and monument grounds. It’s available to those 62 or older, and you can get it at one of the federal recreation sites for a one-time fee of $10, and it never expires. Entertainment: In most cities, seniors over 60 qualify for reduced admission to theaters, museums, and other attractions. Be sure you ask! Savvy Tips: For an $8 annual fee, you can find thousands of discounts at seniordiscounts.com. Or go to Amazon.com and order a copy of the 2009 – 2010 book, “Unbelievably Good Deals and Great Adventures That You Absolutely Can’t Get Unless You’re Over 50” (McGraw-Hill). Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
