Christmas choral concert Sunday More than 80 singers from communities in western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina will gather on Sunday, Dec. 12, at 3 p.m. for the Carolina Community Chorus’ annual Christmas. The concert will take place at Polk County High School auditorium. Richard Kennedy, director of the chorus, said the concert is a great way to usher in the Christmas season. According to Kennedy, the chorus has a long tradition of bringing together excellent choral singing and community folk who love to sing. “It doesn’t get any better than that,” he said. Kennedy said he appreciates the opportunity to work (Continued on page 4)

Rescue workers upset over test All but six fail to pass by Samantha Hurst

A handful of first responders began taking remediation courses this week after 35 of the 41 county emergency workers failed a scope of practices test created by Polk County Medical Director Dr. Alison Owens. “This is annual testing we’ve done since I became medical director 11 years ago,” Owens said. “We use it as a means of identifying the weakness

and strengths of our first responders across the county.” Owens said the test was, however, altered this year. She said the aim was to dig deeper in a responder’s skill set to ensure they could carry out their jobs to the fullest extent. “It gives a much more clear picture of a first responder’s ability to appropriately evaluate and treat a

Polk DSS position goes to full-time

The Polk County Board of Commissioners agreed on Dec. 6 to change a part-time department of social service maintenance case worker position to full-time because of an increase in work load. The full-time salary will be approximately $34,000, but the county will pay only about $7,500 more per year because the state will reimburse the county for half the salary.

Polk hires Fehrmann as new clerk

Polk, towns to meet Jan. 11

Elected officials from Polk County, the towns of Columbus and Tryon and the City of Saluda will meet jointly on Jan. 11 at Columbus Town Hall. The City of Saluda is hosting the event. Discussions over the past few months have been around creating a joint water authority.

“Where you could potentially see the biggest issue is in Sunny View where they have a 20-minute response time but there is a first responder there,” Davis said. Davis and the other responder in Tryon who passed the test must now attend only a two-hour refresher course already mandated by the state. His other 29 men and women must take the remedial classes before retaking the scope certification test. Polk County Rescue Squad Captain Robbie Price said attending these classes presents scheduling problems for many of his staff. Only two responders from the rescue squad passed the test. When asked whether he passed the test, Price said, “I didn’t, no, and I’ve been doing this for 30 years.” He said he and other volunteers can’t wrap their brains (Continued on page 6)

patient,” she said. She said the test required responders to act quickly in mock situations in which they had to assess a patient to determine their injuries or illnesses and then take the appropriate steps to treat them. Owens said prior tests actually provided those seeking certification with a scenario before they entered the test room. She said this gave the responders advance knowledge, allowing them to simply demonstrate their ability to use equipment, not their ability to make accurate judgments in an emergency situation. Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis said the failure rate concerns him. From his roster of 30 volunteers, only one responder other than himself passed the exam. Until these volunteers pass the test, they do not have privileges

to administer certain medications. Those drugs restricted from the responders’ usage include Albuterol for asthma, EpiPens used for those suffering from severe allergic reactions and Nitroglycerin, commonly used for heart attacks. “If youcONSTRUcTION, decrease what INc they mOSLEY • Residential can Commercial do, you are essentially telling • Additions themRenovations to do nothing but load up a Replacement Windows Painting person and take them to• the hospiGate Systems & (volunteers) More tal,” Davis said. “For in some864-457-4962 of our areas that is a big issue because they are the primary backup for Polk County.” Davis said this becomes dan1x1 gerous in areas with high call 10/4-8, volume or10/18-22 longer response times from MOSL-039042 ambulances.

around why the test was changed. He said they feel the material was never accurately covered. “It’s the way they handled it – the practical scope test they gave us, it just never was covered and came as kind of a surprise thing for us,” Price said. Owens said no one should feel as if they are being punished. She said it is, however, important to constantly improve the standards to which first responders are held. “Training sessions are educational; they are based on review of clinical medical trauma and situations and pictures,” Owens said. “Training sessions aren’t at all geared toward simply trying to pass a test.” Price added that his volunteers regularly attend continuing education classes. He said had Owens presented the material in the same fashion it was to be presented in the test, and had they been more clear about the test parameters, there would be no issue. He said his volunteers have minimal time to take additional classes. Price said all the volunteers have other full-time jobs. “Everybody has full-time jobs

on top of what they volunteer to do for us,” Price said. “And that makes things difficult.” He said they already adhere to the state and county’s requirement of 36 hours of continuing education each year. Now those who failed the test are being required to take an additional 16-hour class, retake the skills test and take their usual two-hour refresher course for carrying the EpiPens. That would mean a minimum of 54 hours of courses this year, Price said. Owens said she feels the test was a reasonable measurement of a first responder’s ability in the field. She said, in fact, that she was incredibly surprised to see so many fail the practical scope exam. “I was not cognizant of the fact that we had so much refreshing to do,” Owens said. Owens, however, feels the remediation process is going smoothly. “The first class went very well this weekend,” she said. “The seven people who attended it passed their evaluations Tuesday night with flying colors.” Four more courses are scheduled, with the entire remediation and certification process to be completed by mid-February.

Outgoing Polk County commissioners Warren Watson (left) and Tommy Melton (right) were honored on Monday for their last four years of service. Commissioner Cindy Walker (center) presented Watson and Melton with plaques. Melton's farewell speech as a commissioner is below; see page 13 for Watson's speech. (photo by Leah Justice)

Commissioner Melton gives farewell speech Editor’s note: Following is the speech made by Polk County Commissioner Tommy Melton during a county meeting held Monday at which new commissioners were sworn into office. Melton, an unaffiliated candidate, was defeated in November. It was approximately four years ago on this date that I was sworn in as county ccommissioner. I will have to say that that was one of the happiest days of my life. Then, when I became chairman, that just made it better. In the next few minutes, while I read this statement, I’m sure I will use the word “I” but I want to say now, that does not imply that Tommy Melton accomplished this. It means that I was a part of helping to make Polk County a better place to live. It is impossible to thank and recognize all the people whom I have met and worked with over the last four years. I have had a wonderful opportunity to serve on many boards that served the citizens of Polk County. Some of those are: Polk County Recreation Board, Rutherford-Polk-McDow-

biogensis - page 13

ell Health Department, Mental Health Board, St. Luke’s Hospital Board of Trustees and St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation Board, the latter two of which I will continue to be a part of. These boards have given me an appreciation for the fine quality of people that I have been able to serve alongside and to witness what these boards accomplish for Polk County. So many of these people serve Polk County for the love of Polk County and for the love of the people who reside in Polk County. I have always said that Polk County’s greatest asset is her employees. As I complete my four years as a commissioner, I truly realize how blessed Polk County is to have the caliber of employees that we have. When I became a commissioner, I had five goals that I wanted to see accomplished for the citizens of Polk County. The first was to acquire a good water source to provide the opportunity (Continued on page 12)

for all citizens to have good water availability. This was done by purchasing Lake Adger. The night that I signed the purchase contract, I made the statement, “I believe this is the greatest decision to be made for the citizens of Polk County in this century.” And tonight, I still stand by that statement. The second goal was to remodel and make safe what I believe to be one of our most important buildings – our historic county courthouse. This grand structure is being used today by our county employees, and court is being held in this facility. St. Luke’s Hospital is extremely important to the vitality and health of all of our citizens. My goal was to improve dialogue and trust between county government and our local hospital. I believe in the last four years this has been done, but this new board and future boards must never lose sight of protecting and improving the relationship, and understanding the needs of St. Luke’s Hospital. My fourth goal was to purchase property that would allow us to improve the service to our senior population. This was done by purchasing the property from Carolina Classical School, which consists of approximately 27 acres. We were able to renovate the buildings and we now have what is referred to as the Meeting Place and the Don and Betsy Freeman Adult Daycare Center. My fifth goal was to remove the Department of Social Services from the aging Jervey Palmer Building. Currently this long overdue project is under construction. Though this last project has been very controversial, I still believe that I was able to accomplish my goals that I set four years ago. I do want to address these two employees by name. First is Ryan Whitson, our county manager. While not always agreeing with Ryan (and he not always agreeing with me), I have the utmost respect for his intentions and capabilities. I have always found Ryan to be

Friday, December 10, 2010

a person that I felt comfortable in talking with. He has massive experience and leadership ability. He must have that in order to have the rank of Command Sgt. Major in the U.S. Army Reserve, of which very few reach this rank. Ryan loves America, and we should all be proud to have someone like him serving this country. As a commissioner, I learned that Ryan is first a Christian, second, loves his family and third, loves his country. And last, but not least (and I say this in a joking manner), he counts his votes, as he has told me many times. But isn’t that thinking ahead? I’ve saved the absolute best for last, and that person is Anne Britton. When I became a commissioner and was voted chairman, I had no clue how to conduct meetings and be an effective chairman. Anne was extremely patient and kind to me, and helped me to muddle through the first few meetings. Her knowledge of state and local government is massive. If she doesn’t know the answer, she knows where to go to find it very quickly. I don’t believe there is any county employee that has the respect that Anne Britton has, from all the employees. In a few short days, Anne will retire so that she and Hayden can enjoy their lives together. Anne, Tina and I say thank you. Let me close by saying I hope this new board will elect commissioner Owens as the chairman. Polk County has a tradition of the high vote getter being voted in as chairman. It was done for me, it was done for commissioner Walker and as far back as I can remember, it has always been done, if the high vote getter wanted to be the chair. It’s not about politics anymore, it’s about what the voters of this great county said. Commissioner Owens has the experience, desire and the ability to lead this board of commissioners. Please give him what he has earned and what the voters spoke when he received the most votes. I say goodbye to all the citizens of Polk County, and I thank all of you for this great opportunity to have served you. – Tommy Melton

Commissioner Watson gives farewell speech Editor’s note: Following is the speech made by Polk County Commissioner Warren Watson during a county meeting held Dec. 6 at which new commissioners were sworn into office. Watson, an unaffiliated candidate, was defeated in November. Fellow commissioners and citizens of Polk County, I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve the citizens of Polk County for the past four years. It has been my honor and privilege to be entrusted with the responsibilities of county commissioner. I have not taken those responsibilities lightly, and I am proud of the work we have done as a board. I believe that the nature of the role of county commissioner makes the job one of the most challenging elected positions. We are working with a group of other individuals, many of whom are polar opposites in their ideas and opinions, and yet we are charged with making corporate decisions for the good of the citizens of the local community who elected us. I am not exactly sure when it happened, but at some point during my first year as commissioner, I think I earned the respect of my more experienced colleagues. Unfortunately, I didn’t always avoid the trappings of partisanship in that first year. But I learned an important lesson in those days. The lesson was that partisanship has a high price… and that price is inefficiency and ineffectiveness. I hope the new board will heed these words. Well into the first year of my term, our board began to “gel” into a team. And that team, consisting of commissioners Melton, Denton, Owens, Pack and myself, was extremely productive. We had our disagreements, yet we managed to make some important and far-reaching decisions that will have a positive and profound impact on Polk County 258390-101 for decades.

We preserved an important bridge to the county’s past with our renovation of the historic Polk County courthouse, while updating the things necessary to assure the building’s long-term usefulness. One of the things I am most proud of is our commitment to repair and maintain many county facilities which had long been neglected. We recognized the need to move our agencies out of the dilapidated Jervey-Palmer Building, and have made great strides in that effort. I am also extremely proud of our purchase of the Carolina Classical School property to house the new Meeting Place Senior Center, and the soon to open Don and Betsy Freeman Center for Adult Day Health Care. And I am proud to have served on a board that has accomplished so much in such a short period of time. Many of our approaches

As a new commissioner, one of the first decisions our young board was forced to make was to hire a new county manager. I can honestly say that during his four years in Polk County, Manager Ryan Whitson’s financial management skills and discipline have been key ingredients in our success. I would also like to take this time to thank our clerk, Anne Britton, for her years of dedicated service and her professionalism. Anne, I wish you much success and happiness in your retirement and new endeavors. I have enjoyed getting to know Beth Fehrmann as well. Beth is the first one you see when you walk into our administrative offices and she is that perky voice you hear on the other end of the phone line, always eager to help you. There are too many others I would like to name tonight, but I won’t, due to time constraints. Just know that I have enjoyed getting to know the entire staff and interacting with many of you to work on issues and challenges during my four years as commissioner. And I must admit that I will miss working on many of those worthwhile projects and seeing those friendly faces. But as a businessman, I will also enjoy my new-found freedom to focus on continuing challenges and in developing new opportunities. Other than the necessities of business, my immediate focus will be in the areas of faith, family and friends. I would particularly like to thank my wife, Karen, for her devotion, her selflessness and her willingness to sacrifice her time to take up my slack at home, so I could pursue my passion of public service. I couldn’t ask for a better partner in life, and I look forward to spending a lot more time with her. And finally, speaking of friends, I leave this seat tonight with more friends than when I started. To me, that is an accomplishment in itself. I have enjoyed (Continued on page 16)

Doris and Linwood Williams

Rolling Thunder visits White Oak Recently, Rolling Thunder presented Tryon resident Linwood Williams with a commemorative plaque and replicas of his U.S. Army dog tags. The ceremony was held in the living room of Benson Hall at White Oak of Tryon in order for Doris, his wife of 65 years, to participate. Williams, now 85, joined the U.S. Army when he was 18, trained at Fort Bragg and what was Camp Croft in Spartanburg. After training, he served in the 69th Infantry Division and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He was wounded twice, then captured and imprisoned by the Germans in 1945. General Patton’s 75th Armored Division facilitated Williams and his fellow captives’ escape three days before Easter Sunday. Needless to say, that Easter Sunday was an unforgettable and holy day for Williams and his fellow POWs. Three worship services, Jewish,

Catholic and Protestant, were held quietly on the side of a hill in Germany. Rolling Thunder, which made the presentation to Williams, is a group made up of veterans from all branches of service who fight for MIA and POWs, assist all veterans in the pursuit of needed and deserved benefits and recognize the service of veterans. Particular attention is paid to the veterans of WWII, with whom they visit, present medals, flags, certificates of appreciation and hugs. – article submitted

Joseph Jennings conducts local composer Armbrust’s work Acclaimed conductor Joseph Jennings, music director emeritus of the Grammy-winning ensemble Chanticleer, conducted the east coast premiere of Dr. Crys Armbrust’s male chorus arrangement of Squire Parsons’ popular gospel tune “Beulahland.” The performance, at historic St. John’s Methodist Church in Augusta, GA, occurred on Sunday, Nov. 21 at 3 p.m., and marked the inaugural performance of the newly formed Augusta Men’s Chorus, a 40-voice auditioned ensemble. Jennings’ program included a range of choral selections, including works by Bruckner,

Schubert and Debussy, as well as Lee Hoiby, John Tavener and John Leavitt. Part of St. John’s “Concerts with a Cause” series (now in its eighth season), Sunday’s concert garnered funds for the local service organization The Master’s Table. The heavily subscribed “Concerts with a Cause” series to date has raised more than $87,000 for local and regional charities. Armbrust’s arrangement of “Beulahland” was written in Tryon, following a hearing of the tune at one of the Trade Street Gallery Coffeehouse’s monthly Pickin’ Parlors. After request-

ing copyright permission from Squire Parsons to arrange the melody, Armbrust submitted his arrangement in 2008 to Jennings, who premiered the work in San Francisco later that year. Commenting on the Augusta Men’s Chorus performance, Armbrust said, “both Jennings’ interpretation of the score and his chorus’ execution of it exceeded my broadest expectations. I can’t imagine that the piece could ever be better performed; it was a magical, over-the-top moment.” The concert was recorded for later use. – article submitted

Saluda Medical Center (SMC) recently revived a tradition established by the WIC office in the 1980s – a mitten tree. Now known as “Mittens and More,” SMC staff are distributing mittens, caps, socks and scarves to their young patients. Also being distributed are vouchers for merchandise from A Thrifty Barn, the thrift store of the Saluda Community Center. The efforts are financed by a seasonal grant from the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF). PCCF has funded other Polk County organizations with grants to help citizens this season; food, heat, clothing and other necessities are provided. June Taylor, retired director of WIC, is still an employee of SMC. She says that the mitten tree was so popular that it is still remembered by the children who received gifts, many of whom are now adults with children of their

own. The word spread that it was being revived and the interest spread as well. Amy Copeland, administrator of SMC, said the impetus for the revival came from two of her staff, Amy Mills and Lorraine Whitson, who wanted to do something for their patients for Christmas. The Saluda Library branch of the Polk County Library will be hosting a Christmas activity for children during the Saluda Hometown Christmas Stroll today. Librarian Bob McCall invited SMC to come and distribute “Mittens and More” during the event. The library was decorated by the Saluda Petal Pushers Garden Club. Also involved in the library’s activities are the Saluda Woman’s Club, whose members will provide cookies and cider for strollers. Entertainment will be provided by a Suzuki violin ensemble. – article submitted

Tips to make your morning worryand hurry-free Whether you're nervous about this morning's business presentation or helping your son find his missing left shoe before school, mornings can be a harried time for all. It's easy to get caught up and forget the basics--such as eating breakfast. Below are tips to reduce stress and help make mornings more manageable. • Set a Routine: Set a specific time and routine for bedtime, especially during the week, to allow for an easier wake-up. Streamline your mornings by keeping the TV off. Do the same things in the same order every morning to help prevent getting sidetracked. • Take Time to Relax: Traffic jams and delays can make typical days stressful, so try to enjoy your commute as a peaceful time for yourself. Listen to a brief meditation CD to reflect on all the tasks you would like to accomplish during the day. • Lunch Break: Don't wait until the morning to decide what you are going to pack for lunch. Set aside items such as baby carrots, pretzels, string cheese and yogurt for lunch the night before. In the morning, just grab it and go. — NAPSI

St. Luke’s cafeteria to offer extended hours, healthy options Looking for a new place to have a healthy lunch? St. Luke’s Hospital’s cafeteria will be making several changes to operations to better meet the needs of St. Luke’s staff, volunteers, physicians and the community. Revisions include restructured pricing, new menu options and new hours of operation. Effective immediately, the cafeteria has extended lunch hours to 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. This extension will be beneficial to staff and community members who take a later lunch. Over the next few weeks, the St. Luke’s Hospital cafeteria will be increasing the number of hot food items available each day. In addition to more selections, customers will now have more control over portion size. Standard portion sizes will be decreased to meet the recommended healthy portion guidelines. The cost will be adjusted accordingly. Also a new addition to the menu will be food items marked with a blue circle with a “B” in the center.

These symbols let customers quickly and easily identify food items that are “Balanced Wellness” so healthy choices can be made. “Morrison (Healthcare Foodservice) has some really good ideas that we are excited to incorporate,” said Ken Shull, CEO of St. Luke’s Hospital. “Also, there are many new, healthier recipes that I think everyone will enjoy.” “St. Luke’s Hospital is committed to providing healthy food options to our patients, staff, physicians, volunteers and the community. By allowing customers to select healthy meal choices that are nutritious and appetizing, St. Luke’s empowers that person to take control of their diet,” Shull added. St. Luke’s Hospital cafeteria has been operated by Morrison Healthcare Foodservice since January 2009. The public is welcome to come enjoy the changes Morrison has brought to St. Luke’s Hospital. The St. Luke’s Hospital cafeteria

Just another ordinary Monday This tale will not have a definite conclusion, though I hope to finalize each case in the future. I’ve often explained there are too many things going on for me to write on each of them and Monday was a case in point. It was an ordinary morning, I had three cases to check on and three to hopefully set in motion. First was breakfast at T.J.’s, where I picked up the papers for the vet and collected funds Terry helped me raise through gifts given me to help my kids. Terry is passionate in her support as are Jeanette and Pat, who Flash (photo submitted) give me most of the gifts. After T.J.’s, two quick stops to check on situation.

Polk baseball’s Lucas Cash signs with VMI by Joey Millwood

For polk County’s Lucas Cash, the goal was always easily definable. the senior pitcher has always wanted to play baseball for a Division I program in college. Next season, Cash can put a checkmark beside that on his list of dreams. Cash will be suiting up for the Virginia Military Institute, a program that beat then-ranked No. 1 Virginia Cavaliers last season. “the coaches there made me feel at home,” Cash said. “They have really high expectations for me.” Expectations won’t be anything new to the Wolverine. Cash was the Western Highlands Conference player of the Year last season as the Wolverines won the conference

championship. The last player to win that honor as a junior was Eric Mack. For the Wolverines, Cash is primarily a relief pitcher and plays left field. For VMI, he will be expected to pitch and play a little first base and left field. polk County’s head coach ty Stott said the first time he saw Cash play was at his offseason camp when the senior was eight-years-old. Stott admitted that you never know what these kids would be like as they grew up, but in Cash’s sophomore year he showed the coach. as a sophomore, Cash pitched 17 1/3 innings and allowed zero runs. In his first 35 innings pitched as a Wolverine, Cash only allowed one unearned run. He has been dominant and with patience, stott feels like he can produce at the next level.

“The coaches [at VMI] made me feel at home. They have really high expectations for me.” -- Polk County High School pitcher Lucas Cash

of course that production will begin in the spring for the Wolverines, stott hopes, and it may not be the pen where Cash gets the most work. “Right now I’d say he’ll be starting more than he ever has,” Stott said. and while the coach was filled with pride, Cash’s parents Chip and Lisa watched as their son signed his letter of intent on Tuesday afternoon with big smiles. “I’m extremely proud,” his dad said. “He’s worked hard and that’s carried him through the last three years.” that hard work will have to

continue as his first five months at VMI will be more of a boot camp session. “I was kind of nervous about it,” Cash admitted, but a talk with his cousin who attends school at VMI settled him down. One valuable lesson he learned for stott and his time at polk County will guide him through. “He’s always told me not to be satisfied with what I’ve done in the past,” Cash said. With that lesson and his work ethic, there’s no reason to believe that Cash will do anything but succeed at VMI.

Solutions for suffering wintertime blues Dear Savvy Senior, What types of solutions can help seniors who get the winter blues? My husband has always hated winter, but since he retired, the winter months make him very depressed and lethargic. What can you tell us? Fighting the Blues Dear Fighting, If your husband gets depressed in the winter but feels much better in spring and summer, he may have “seasonal affective disorder” (or SAD), a wintertime depression that affects more than 36 million Americans.

Feeling SAD? While experts aren’t exactly sure what causes SAD, most think it’s attributed to reduced daylight. Less daylight in the winter months can upset sleepwake cycles and other circadian rhythms. And it may cause problems with a brain chemical called serotonin that affects mood. If you think your husband may have SAD, a trip to his doctor’s office is the best way to diagnose it, or he can take a SAD “self-diagnostic” test at the Center for Environmental Therapeutics website at www. cet.org. In the meantime, here are the different treatments and remedies that can help. Light Therapy: The most effective treatment for SAD is sitting in front of a specialized light therapy box for 15 to 20 minutes a day. Light therapy mimics outdoor light to cause a change in brain chemicals linked to mood. It’s most effective when timed to fit a person’s individual circadian rhythm (body clock), which varies widely from person to person depending on whether they’re a

Savvy Senior night owl or a morning lark. Your husband can calculate his proper time for doing light therapy by taking the circadian rhythm test at www.cet.org. The best light boxes provide 10,000 lux of illumination, many times stronger than typical indoor light, and have a diffuser screen that filters out ultraviolet rays and projects downward toward the eyes. With prices ranging from around $150 to $200, you can find a nice variety light therapy boxes at sites like day-lights.com (800-387-0896), www.lighttherapy.philips.com (866-832-4361), verilux.com (800-454-4408) and lighttherapyproducts.com (800486-6723). Dawn Simulation: This is a newer form of light therapy that gradually turns the light on in your bedroom, creating a slow transition from darkness to dawn in the room while it’s still dark outside. Studies have found that dawn simulation can ease depression and help people wake up with more energy. These products typically run between $100 and $200 and are sold through many of the previously listed sites that sell light therapy boxes. Antidepressants: If light therapy doesn’t alleviate your husband’s SAD symptoms, antidepressants such as Celexa, Lexapro, Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft may help. Talk to his doctor about these options. Negative Ion Therapy: Negative ion generators help freshen and purify the air, and according to Columbia University help relieve depression and SAD. Several models of ion generators are on the market. Some, designed

to be used for 30 to 60 minutes daily, include a wrist strap that channels the ions directly to the body to be absorbed through the skin. Other models work overnight, filling the entire room with negative ions. Sites like cet.org and negativeiongenerators.com (866-466-4937) sell them for between $125 and $165. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Even though SAD is considered to be a biological problem, identifying and changing thoughts and behavior can help alleviate symptoms too. To find a therapist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy, check with the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (abct.org) or the Academy of Cognitive Therapy (academyofct.org) which both offer directories on their websites. Vitamin D: The sunshine vitamin (D) that we get when the sun’s rays hit our skin declines during the winter months. Vitamin D deficiencies have been linked to a wide variety of illnesses, including depression. While some foods contain vitamin D – fatty fish, cod liver oil and fortified products like breakfast cereals, milk and orange juices – the most efficient way to get it is with supplements. Some experts recommend getting at least 4,000 IUs of vitamin D-3 daily. Exercise: Moderate exercise such as walking, riding a stationary bike, or swimming can also help alleviate SAD symptoms. 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.

Gifts Q. should I use my applicable exclusion ($1million) during my lifetime or upon my death? A. Many people have the misconception that it is best to “save” their applicable exclusion amount until their death. However, a more powerful leveraging technique is to utilize it during your lifetime. If you use your applicable exclusion amount by making lifetime gifts, the value of the gifts will appreciate in the recipients’ hands and not in your taxable estate. Between investment growth and inflation, the value of the gift should be substantial. For example, assuming the value of your gift will double every 7.2 years, if your life expectancy is 21 more years, a $1 million gift will be worth $8 million in the hands of the recipients at the end of the time. assuming a 55% tax rate, you would have to leave over $17.7 million to provide your heirs with the same amount. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques. SASS-033248 1x7 11/27
