Big Level Baptist donates 2,391 shoeboxes to Operation Christmas Child Family, friends and children from Big Level Baptist Church packed 2,391 empty shoeboxes with simple items most people take for granted, including toys, toothbrushes and school supplies to send to children as part of Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child is a kids-helping-kids project that uses simple, gift-filled shoeboxes to show millions of children in 100 countries that they are loved and not forgotten. Operation
Christmas Child collects the shoeboxes and hand-delivers them to children around the world using whatever means neccessary – this could be by sea containers, trucks, airplanes, trains, boats, camels, or helicopter to get them into the child’s hand. The deadline to drop off boxes is today from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Polk Baptist Associational building, 208 Blanton St. in Columbus.

institutional respite care • Registered nurses who are case managers to ensure services are adequate and meet client health and safety needs Who is eligible? To be eligible for the CAP program, the patient must be: • A resident of Polk County • Eligible for Medicaid and at risk for nursing home placement • Able to be approved for skilled or intermediate care by a physician • Able to be cared for safely in the home and at less cost than facility placement If you have any questions about the CAP program, or to make a referral, call Libby Carter, RN, director of CAP services, at 828894-0564.

CDC recommends that everyone older than six months of age receive a flu vaccine this year. This recommendation has been made because of the H1N1 outbreak that occurred during 2009 and 2010. This year’s flu vaccine includes the H1N1 vaccine. For those who have already received the flu vaccine they have protected themselves and the people they come in contact with on a daily basis. The Polk County Health Department Nurses have provided flu vaccines at the ICC campus to senior citizens and on a daily walk-in basis at the health department to adults and children. Influenza is a respiratory virus that can cause cough, fever, body aches, sore throat, headache, chills, and fatigue. The virus is highly contagious from person to person and is spread by droplets coughed into the air. Preventing the spread of flu can be accomplished by getting the flu vaccine, covering your coughs and sneezes, frequent hand washing and staying home when you have fever and flu like symptoms. Complications from flu can lead
to death, especially in adults over the age of 65 years or children with diseases that affect the immune system. According to the N.C. Weekly Influenza Surveillance Summary as of November 6, 2010 the spread of the flu has been sporadic this year with positive cases being lower than usual for this time of year. Helen White, RN, PHN supervisor for the health department, stated that there have been some reports of patients reporting flu like symptoms recently. Polk County Health Department continues to offer flu vaccines from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. each day for anyone over six months of age. Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance, Medicare Part B and Medicaid will pay for the vaccine at the health department. Uninsured or underinsured children may get the vaccine free at the health department. There is a $30 charge for those who do not meet the above criteria. You may call the health department at 828-894-8271 if you have questions. – article submitted

Jane Foster wins top N.C. hospice nurse award Polk County notiCe of Current and uPComing volunteer board vaCanCies
In October, Jane Foster, RN, accepted North Carolina’s top hospice clinical services award at a ceremony that honored hospice workers in the two Carolinas. The Sharon O. Dixon Award recognizes excellent clinical care in a hospice in North Carolina, and this year’s judges said that of all the exceptional nominees, Jane Foster was an incomparable standout. Foster was honored for exemplifying what it means to be a hospice nurse at Hospice of the Carolina Foothills for 19 plus years. As one colleague puts it, “Jane has the gift of hospice in her heart.” Helping hospice patients and families find comfort and peace, on their own terms, is what Foster is all about. The judges said Foster sees the person as a whole person, not just someone with an illness, and is creative in finding ways to meet their needs. She listens and observes so she can learn what quality of life means to each individual she serves. Her clinical skills are utilized to get symptoms under control, to teach the family about caregiving, and to answer all questions. She is committed to interdisciplinary

NCDOT aims to help travelers save time, money over Thanksgiving holiday The N.C. Department of Transportation is taking steps to help motorists save both time and money this Thanksgiving by suspending most road construction activities on major routes across the state. By avoiding traffic delays, motorists can reach their destinations more quickly while also cutting down on fuel consumption and costs. Most construction projects along interstate, N.C. and U.S. routes will be suspended beginning at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, November 23, until 9 a.m., Monday, November 29, with four exceptions: • U.S. 17 Business in Jacksonville (Onslow County) is reduced to two-lane, two-way traffic on the Buddy Phillips Bridge over the New River for construction of a new bridge; • U.S. 17 in Windsor (Bertie County) is reduced to one lane on the Cashie River Bridge due to construction. Traffic is controlled by signals; however, commercial trucks are restricted on this route and detour signs are in place. All motorists are encouraged to use the U.S. 17 Bypass around Windsor to avoid possible delays; • I-40 in Greensboro (Guilford County) is reduced to 2 lanes in both directions between Wendover Avenue (Exit 214) and Guilford College Road (Exit 213) for bridge construction; and • U.S. 220 south of Asheboro (Randolph County) is reduced to one lane in both directions from Dawson Miller Road (N.C. 143 Exit) to south of McDowell Road to widen U.S. 220. Here are some additional tips for navigating the highways during the busy holiday travel season: • Leave early to get a head start on your drive. Travel at nonpeak hours when possible. • Stay alert. Even if work is suspended, you may encounter narrowed lanes and traffic shifts in work zone areas. • Be patient and obey the posted speed limit. The penalty
for speeding through a marked work zone is $250. • Use alternate routes, when possible, to avoid traffic congestion. • Stay informed. Real-time travel information is available over the phone by dialing 511, or online at www.ncdot.gov/travel. NCDOT also now offers Twitter updates for motorists and ferry passengers (visit www.ncdot. gov/travel for more information). To help reduce fuel consumption and save money: • Don’t rush. “Jack-rabbit” starts and hard braking alone can increase fuel consumption by 40 percent, but reduce travel time by only four percent. • Observe the speed limit. Not exceeding 60 miles per hour (where legally allowed) can improve mileage by 7-23 percent. • Use cruise control. Using cruise control on 10,000 miles driven in a year could save you nearly $200 and save more than 60 gallons of fuel, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. • Remove unnecessary items. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle can reduce your miles per gallon by up to two percent. Wind resistance can also reduce mileage so avoid using luggage racks, rooftop carriers and ski racks when they are not needed. • Maintain your vehicle. Keeping your tires properly inflated, changing your oil and replacing air filters can all help improve fuel economy. For more information on how to “Drive Green, Save Green,” visit www.ncdot.gov/programs/ drivegreen/. NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed limit. Updated travel information is also available by calling 511 or online at www.ncdot.gov/travel. In addition, NCDOT now offers travel information on Twitter. – article submitted

Billie and Brenda Parker discover Hospice is about living by Maureen Smith for HoCF
When Billie Parker and his wife, Brenda, talk about their home place, it is Home with a capital H. Home to them is as much a state of mind as a place. Billie’s family has made a living off their Fox Mountain acreage for decades, plowing with horses as they planted and harvested corn for their hogs, goats, cattle and chickens. That is why it is particularly surprising that the man sitting in his comfortable living room tells the story one sunny afternoon of how he actually enjoyed his recent stay at Hospice of the Carolina Foothill’s Hospice House in Landrum. It’s also a little hard to grasp that the man with the broad smile and good humor is seriously ill. His conversation, peppered with chuckles, is all about bird feeders, farming and fishing. That pastoral life is part of why Billie did initially balk at the idea of going to the Hospice House for a brief spell when he was too ill to stay at home. “To tell the truth, I had always thought Hospice was about death… about dying. I found out different,” he says. Going to the Hospice House was like going on a vacation to a resort, he says. “I have never seen doctors and nurses who treat people like they do.” When he didn’t eat for three days, he tells a “fish story” about how chef Kevin Fisher came around and asked him what he’d like to eat. “When I said ‘fish!’” says Billie grinning, “he went back to the kitchen and fried up a big piece of catfish. I ate the whole thing.”
Billie and Brenda Parker
“Everybody goes out of their way to make it nice,” Billie says. “It’s not about dying; it’s about the quality of your life,” adds Brenda. “Hospice House is a true blessing,” the two say almost in unison. But there was a time, Brenda says, when quality of life was the last thing on her husband’s mind. When he first became sick, Billie just sat in his recliner, pulled the curtains and turned out the lights. “He gave up,” she says. Then longtime friend and neighbor Dee Preston came over and said, “Get up, Billie, we’re going fishing.” And so they did, heading out to Lake Hartwell to catch a mess of crappie. That was a turning point for Billie. He realized then that he still had a life to live. When it came time for his stay at Hospice House, he had no problem with it. It seemed like just another step on his journey rather than something final. “Hospice didn’t just
help him. Hospice helped me,” Brenda says. And Billie made his mark at Hospice House as well, helping his favorite “resort” add to its outdoor décor with one of his handmade bird feeders. Chef Kevin hung it where residents could see hungry birds coming for sustenance, a fitting tribute to Hospice and Billie’s lifelong love of nature. – article submitted

CONLON TREE CARE how to speak “farm.” As PAC’s executive director, I am on the forum’s steering committee. One of the issues I’m bringing to the table is horse farm protection. Up ‘til now, North Carolina horse farms have not been acknowledged as working farms unless they produce a traditional crop like hay for market. Strange, because they look like farms. Act like farms. Support the local economy like farms. They house herd animals, buy grain and supplies from local feed stores, purchase tractors and farm equipment, provide jobs, and some do grow hay. They even add a bonus to our local economy with a big tourism boost when horse shows come to FENCE, Harmon Field, and now the Green Creek Equestrian Center. What PAC considers to be the most important thing about horse farms, however, is their huge potential impact to link greenspace to provide wildlife corridors and forested buffers and to protect the precious water resources in the lower levels of our watershed. PAC’s particular interest in agriculture can be summed up in one word: Land. From the land trust perspective, all the programs in the world won’t matter if we don’t set aside the actual farmland now for permanent protection. Conserved land can be farmed today or saved for tomorrow, but it will always be available. Sometimes I hear an echo when I voice this concern, but I’m optimistic about tomorrow’s bee soup. (Sorry about the mixed metaphors. Couldn’t help it.) – Sally Walker
