by Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners are faced with a major decision – whether to give up one of the county’s largest assets.

St. Luke’s Hospital is beginning a $6.5 million expansion and needs

financing, but the county owns the hospital building and property.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson told county commissioners Monday, April 18 the hospital has asked for the county to deed the property to the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation.

A large tree fell on this Pacolet Street home in Tryon around 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 20. Nick Edwards with the Tryon Fire Department said they initially received a call about a fallen tree that took down power lines. Edwards said when they arrived on scene, however, they realized the situation was much more serious. “The front of the house was pretty much gone,” he said. “We had to enter through the basement.

The inside was demolished and we were only able to get to parts of the home.” Edwards said the crash also ruptured the gas lines inside. No one was at home at the time of the incident. Power was out for hours for many Tryon residents as crews worked at the site. (photo by Barbara Tilly)

Carolinas Healthcare System to manage the hospital a couple of years ago and the financial health of the hospital has improved.

Shull said the hospital hopes to break ground on the new expansion in February 2012.

Shull said hospital officials feel fortunate that the county built the hospital, but the building is nearing the end of its useful life at almost 40 years. It would cost $40 million to construct a new hospital, according to Shull.

“We don’t want to be stuck with a state-of-the-art 1972 building,” Shull said.

Shull said the hospital feels confident it can secure loans for the project. The St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation has already raised $1 million with plans to raise more.

“We have a hospital that has served the needs of residents for decades,” said Shull.

The hospital is currently undertaking a strategic growth plan that includes phases of improvements. The $6.5 million phase includes a planned addition on the east side of the hospital off the left of the front entrance.

Shull said plans are to add a 15,000-square-foot addition that will include six orthopedic beds and rehabilitation services and will also bring the hospital’s outpatient services in-house. The

new addition is being designed to later construct a second level planned to include 19 additional patient rooms.

Hospital officials expect to present the expansion plans in detail to commissioners next month.

“Having St. Luke’s be a healthy financial hospital is vital,” Gasperson said, “so we need to be very careful what we do with this.” $500 Tax Credit Available with New Windows & Doors!

Six ride in Foxhunter’s Cup

by Samantha Hurst

When the red flag in Kelly Murphy’s hand drops with a flourish at 4 p.m. April 23, six riders and horses will take off for the finish line and their share of a $1,000 purse in the Foxhunter’s Libby Arnold Cup Amateur Race.

“The amateur race is always a real local favorite because it’s (attendees’) neighbors riding,” said Murphy, officials and amateur race coordinator.

“It’s an opportunity for amateurs to get race experience.”

Riding in this year’s Foxhunter ’s Cup are Libby Arnold, Robert Arnold, Amanda Bilharz, Kathy Bragg, Robert Arnold LeeAnn Harmon and Susie Kocher.

Out of these six, four have raced in the amateur race before, while two will experience the race for the first time.

“We used to have five Steeplechases, but in order to keep the courses up we scaled it back to four and it opened Amanda Bilharz up a spot in the

schedule,” he said. “The fans seem to really enjoy it.”

The span of the race extends eight furlongs or one mile, Murphy said.

There will be two separate purses for the race – one for thoroughbred Kathy Bragg and one for non-thoroughbreds. Murphy said the participants will work together in a cooperative, sportsmanlike atmosphere.

The Foxhunter’s Cup race, though a non-sanctioned race, will be run under the National Steeplechase Association’s Rules of Racing.

Racers met Monday, April 11 to have tack and breastplates, as well Lee Ann Harmon as helmets and body protectors, inspected to make sure they were in good condition and in compliance with race standards.

Murphy said it was also an opportunity to walk the course. “ T h e r e ’s a strong emphasis on education and safety, but it’s mainly for fun,” Murphy Susie Kocher said.

news briefs A glance at some of the latest news in the area.

Polk saves $5,378 on DSS contract The Polk County Board of Commissioners on Monday, April 18 approved a change order on its department of social service (DSS) building contract for $5,378 less. The savings came because the roof needed two coats of paint instead of three, a cooktop and island were cut from the plan and less piping was needed than expected. Construction is under way on Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring with contractors beginning to put aluminum on the roof next week.

Polk accepts agricultural economic development grant

The Polk County Board of Commissioners on Monday, April 18 approved a budget amendment accepting a Blue Ridge National Heritage grant for the agricultural economic development office. The $24,700 grant is to support marketing and business development programming at the agricultural center, located at the former Mill Spring School. No county match was required.

Polk approves audit contract

Polk County commissioners decided this week to keep the same auditors, Gould, Killian CPA Group. Commissioners approved the contract during the county’s Monday, April 18 meeting for $54,000. The contract is $2,000 less than last year’s contract with the same firm. This will be Polk’s fourth year contracting with Gould Killian. The board plans to seek different auditors next year.

Polk appoints volunteers to boards

The Polk County Board of Commissioners appointed volunteers to fill vacancies on advisory boards during a Monday, April 18 meeting. The county appointed Margaret Kell and Peggy Wyche to the council on aging; Charles Fouser to the library board and Mary Parker to the recycling board.

Landrum fire gets $26,000 FEMA grant

Landrum Fire Chief Jimmy Flynn reported April 11 that the department had received a $26,000 FEMA grant.

The funds will be used to replace fire hoses and nozzles.

Flynn said the hoses are currently about 30 years old. In 2006 the department received $130,000 to replace air packs and turnout gear. Then another grant in 2008 in the amount of $80,000 allowed the department to make upgrades to the station. Flynn hopes to get word about a second grant next week.

As winter approached and the Lovings began to prepare to spend time in Florida, they wondered how Bill could be kept occupied while they were away. The answer came via their vet, who suggested Green Creek Hounds huntsman “Tot” Goodwin have a look at Double Bill.

Goodwin took Bill to his barn to familiarize the big chestnut gelding with the “tools” of fox hunting. Horns were blown in his face, whips were whirled around his head and hounds yapped at his heels. Nothing seemed to faze him. Next thing the Lovings knew,

Block House Steeplechase races rooted in history

by Barbara Childs

The Tryon Riding and Hunt Club, founded in 1925, promoted horseback rides, picnics, maintained hundreds of miles of riding trails, hosted equestrian shows and events and was building an organization to lead in the preservation of the life inspired by the area.

The most prestigious event in the club’s annual program is the Block House Steeplechase Races held each spring on the grounds of the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center. Carter P. Brown started the first Steeplechase in 1946 at Harmon Field. There was a single race with a tin cup filled with money, and that was the prize for the winner.

To d a y t h e p r i z e m o n e y exceeds more than $65,000 for four sanctioned races.

The races are nationally recognized with the National Steeplechase Association.

Attendance now approximates 18-22,000 with reservations received from all over the southeast.

Due to the tremendous and ongoing efforts of the Tryon Riding and Hunt Club, the surrounding countryside has been nationally recognized for carrying forth the traditions of fine horsemanship.

Tr y o n i s o n e o f t h e m o s t prominent equestrian centers of the Southeast United States.

The day of the Block House Steeplechase begins with setting up parking spots and the tailgate (this is a logistic wonder with 80 people helping all at one time). Unloading the food, you’d think a deli was being set up as everyone brings his or her favorite snacks and beverages.

After the hat contest, it’s time for food, the parade

of carriages, more food and drinks, running of the hounds, more food and after lunch the races begin. The races normally include six to 10 entries prepared to run the one-mile track along the sides of the hills and a valley. There’s not a bad parking spot on the place and one can view 80 percent of the race from any parking location.

Sometimes when the horses come within a few feet of the fence, you can feel the earth vibrate from the pounding of the hoofs on the grass track.

The horses hurdle the jumps and obstacles and try not to be distracted by the increasing number of people and the roar of the crowd. Each race is only a few minutes, but the excitement and thrilling horserace in that short time rewards every effort getting ready for this special day at the races.

As the last race ends and people start to return to their original gathering place, they wonder where the day went, and begin scheming for next year’s tailgate theme and hats of course!

The result is a full feast of fun that passes in a few hours.

Tryon Riding and Hunt Club preserves this rich tradition and like the “rites of spring” it will continue every year.

World history of Steeplechase racing

by Barbara Childs

The first recorded steeplechase took place in Ireland in 1752 in County Cork. A horseman named O’Callaghan and his friend Edmund Blake engaged in a racing match covering 4 1/2 miles from

B9 Friday, April 22, 2011

Buttevant Church to St. Mary’s Church in Doneraile.

Church steeples were the most prominent landmarks on the Irish landscape, so the sport took its name from this chase to the steeple.

Cross country match races spread to England, where the first reported race involved more than two horses in 1792.

Steeplechasing then became popular and migrated to established race courses. In Ireland, races that are run on a commercial race track are collectively known as national hunt races.

On Feb. 26, 1839 at Aintree in England the first grand-national was run. Many steeplechase racers today can check their ancestry back to Ireland by way of North Carolina.

The popularity of steeplechasing remains a sport in Ireland today that is also big business. Trainer John Fowler of Rahinston House in County Meath, Ireland currently has

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

about 20 horses in training for jump racing. Horses are sometimes imported from the U.S. as flat racers and they are used for steeplechasing if they are not fast enough.

Horses are never taken to Ireland from the U.S. just to jump race.

Lady Chichester, Fowler’s wife, agrees. “The footing differences are the biggest challenge, and it’s hard for horses to adjust to the difference in racing styles.” The American bloodlines are infused into the Irish race horses, especially the Northern Dancer and Saddlers Wells lines.

The biggest connection in Irish and American racing is the people. “If you visit any racing stable in America you’ll find Irish men galloping horses,” says Fowler.

“The Irish are constantly going abroad to find work, and horses are a way of life here in Ireland. And they have taken that tradition to the US.”

My current trainer, Freda Jesson, has always played a huge part in my riding career. She helps me condition and train my ponies.

Riding games is my favorite of all the equine mounted disciplines. Mounted games require a high degree of athletic ability, good riding skills, hand-to-eye co-ordination, determination, perseverance and a competitive spirit. It also requires close communication between horse and rider rather than just raw speed.

Gregories on Main, a restaurant in Rutherfordton, will sponsor Harmon in the steeplechase this year. Greg and Kelleigh Hayse have sponsored Harmon through many of her competitions.

They not only sponsored her to ride in the WEG, but also sponsored her pony that was ridden by Ben Millichap on the English team.

Harmon rode Sasha, a 13.1 hand POA, at the World Games.

“Sasha is the best pony I have ever ridden. Sasha neck reins, turns on a dime, has an amazing stride and she has the biggest heart ever. She is extremely competitive and stays CITY OF SALUDA, N.C.

calm even in a huge crowd like at the World Equestrian Games,” said Harmon.

Harmon had been anticipating the competition at the World Games for over a year, but when the time came and the ponies were all hauled into Kentucky Horse Park the morning of the competition, it all hit her - she was really going to ride in the WEG. “I really felt we represented the Mounted Games Association at its best. Not only did we ride, but we received passes and were able to watch the show jumping finals with front row seats,” Harmon said. “Being at a competition that lasted only 10 days gave all the worldwide teams time to become friends.

We all stayed in the same park together. Needless to say we enjoyed having quality time together and have made some lasting friendships.”

These competitions would never have taken place without the support of many volunteers that put so many hours into the smooth running of the competitions. Harmon said her parents have played a big part in her success story.

“Without their time and support I would not have been able to get where I am today with riding and competing on an international level,” she said. “All these memories I will treasure for a lifetime.”

Mitzi Lindsey retires from Tryon Riding & Hunt Club 65th Block House honors Lindsey for 38 years of service

by Gloria Underwood

When the horses round the bend at the 65th Block House Steeplechase Races Saturday, April 23, Mitzi Lindsey expects to feel somewhat out of place.

For the first time in 38 years, she’ll watch as a spectator instead of being the woman running things behind the scenes.

Miriam “Mitzi” Lindsey began working for the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club (TR&HC) in 1972, when the office was located in Oak Hall Hotel. When she retired from the job that was been her lifelong adventure, it was the end of an era for TR&HC. TR&HC president Chuck Lingerfelt said he has considered it a pleasure to work with Mitzi for the last seven years.

“We feel a deep appreciation and affection for Mitzi that is difficult to put into words. She has been an unwavering constant with TR&HC, always being there for the club,” Lingerfelt said. “She has been the spirit and embodiment of the TR&HC for 38 years.”

Lindsey became involved with horses when she was under the care of her older sister, who would set her on one of the horses at Chagrin Valley Hunt Club in Ohio to keep her quietly out of the way.

She has loved horses ever since.

From riding lessons at camp to riding at boarding school in Massachusetts to helping with the horses at her father’s camp, Lindsey was around horses during most of her youth.

Then during her spring vacation in 1961, she discovered Tryon.

“The leaves were out and everything was in bloom; it was absolutely gorgeous. I thought I’d gone to heaven,” Lindsey said.

Back in Kirtland, Ohio, she began to scrutinize the classified ads in her parents’ copy of the Tryon Daily Bulletin, where she found a whole new life: a job in

Tryon teaching riding lessons and taking care of stables. She made the move to Tryon in November 1961 and never looked back.

She bought her first horse when she moved, getting a two-for-one deal: the horse was pregnant when she bought her. Lindsey belonged to Skyuka Saddle Club, where she would ride her horse in barrel races and pole bending. In the years that followed, she married and had two children, David and Laura.

It took several years to find the position with TR&HC, or for it to find her. Although she was working for Howard Greene, owner of G&K Furniture in Columbus, it was her experience as secretary for the Skyuka Saddle Club that brought her to the attention of TR&HC. Approached several times to become secretary, she always gave the same answer: “Wait until my kids are in school.”

Arthur Farwell and Dr. Jack Bradshaw came to her again in 1972, and the timing was finally right.

It started out as a part-time position, but the job has changed a great deal over the years. After five or six years, it grew to fulltime responsibility and eventually, in 1995, required an assistant. In 2003, Laura Lindsey Weicker joined her mother at TR&HC as assistant director. In 2007, Lindsey and Weicker changed positions, with Weicker becoming the executive director.

“I loved my job. Other people just hate going to work. Not me.

Every day was different,” Weicker said.

Lingerfelt said it’s impossible to know the real number of hours Lindsey spent in dedication to the local horse community.

“It’s impossible to tell all of the ways Mitzi has positively affected this area’s horse business and civic communities,” he said.

“I have no idea how many hours she has spent volunteering for FENCE, Green Creek Hounds, Polk County Jaycees, Thermal Belt Rotary, chamber of commerce and countless other organizations in the past.”

Jockey turned trainer brings prospect to Block House

by Laura Ward

Maryland-based steeplechase trainer Cyril Murphy says you have to start somewhere. And when Murphy saddles newbie jumper “Inti” on April 23 for the 65th running of the Block House Steeplechase, it will hopefully be a day of “firsts,” and not just at the finish line. For Inti, it will be his first time racing over fences and Murphy’s first time watching the races from the tower, instead of riding in them.

The Irish native was the winner of the 2001 $150,000 Breeders’ Cup Steeplechase on Quel Senor.

His last trip to Tryon was in 2006, when he blew away the competition in the The Bright’s Creek Race on the scopey jumper, Brave Intent.

Murphy went on to place second that day in the Budweiser Cup and the Carolina First race.

Having ridden and worked for some of the greatest racing legends (Continued on page 36)

Polk County Middle School recently held a cupcake competition to raise money for Relay for Life. Homerooms bought paper cupcakes throughout the week in honor or in memory of loved ones. Each cupcake was $1. At the end of the week the first and second place homerooms were rewarded with a real cupcake party. Special Relay for Life cupcakes were made for the students to enjoy. Students raised $1,243 in one week to help a worthy cause. Dr. Pettis’ seventh grade homeroom won with 270 cupcakes and Ms. Campbell’s homeroom came in second with 240. Both homerooms enjoyed the cupcake party on Friday, April 8.

Harmon Field Recreation has been awarded a Kirby Harmon Field Youth Activities Fund grant from the Polk County Community Foundation to hold the seventh annual Kirby Cup Soccer Camp. Registration forms will be available the week of April 25 and passed out at Polk County Rec games on Saturday, April 30.

This free soccer camp is designed for boys and girls in grades 3 through 8 (ages 8 - 13).

The camp will be held Tuesday, June 21 – Saturday, June 25.

Training sessions will be held Tuesday through Friday mornings from 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. with a round robin tourney followed by a culminating picnic on Saturday morning from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.

All training and the picnic will be held at Harmon Field.

The players will be divided into four teams, each representing a different country. Each day, players will develop their skills,

play a scrimmage and then watch an international match and briefly discuss the history of the country. The picnic will have foods from each country as well. This year, Serbia returns as defending champion and invitations have been sent out to other countries in Asia, Africa and Europe. Enrollment is free thanks to the Kirby Fund.

The Saturday tournament has been recognized by the United States Olympic Committee as an official Olympic Day event.

Olympic Day, held annually in late June, is celebrated by thousands of people in more than 160 countries. Commemorating the birth of the modern Olympic Games, Olympic Day is not only a celebration, but an international effort to promote fitness and wellbeing in addition to Olympic ideals of fair play, perseverance, respect and sportsmanship.

Steps to HOPE offers tips to prevent sexual assault, violence How can I help prevent sexual assault/violence? Sexual violence is preventable. Communities are vital in the development of effective sexual violence prevention strategies which should ultimately decrease the number of individuals who perpetrate sexual violence and the number of individuals who are sexual violence victims.

Many prevention approaches aim to reduce risk factors and promote protective factors for sexual violence. Comprehensive prevention strategies should address factors at each of the levels that influence sexual violence: the individual, relationship, community and society.

The most common prevention strategies currently focus on the victim, the perpetrator or bystanders. Strategies that aim to equip the victim with knowledge, awareness or self-

defense skills are referred to as risk reduction techniques.

Strategies targeting the perpetrator attempt to change risk and protective factors for sexual violence in order to reduce the likelihood that an individual will engage in sexually violent behavior.

The goal of bystander prevention strategies is to change social norms supporting sexual violence and empower men and women to intervene with peers to prevent an assault from occurring. Other prevention strategies may target social norms, policies, or laws in communities to reduce the perpetration of sexual violence across the population. (www.cdc.gov.)

Sexual assault is a cultural epidemic. There are some easy things that everyone can do to help stop sexual assault/ violence:

• Recognize that a person neither asks for nor deserves to be raped, ever.

• Don’t blame rape victims for the violence perpetrated against them.

• Know that silence does not equal consent.

• Take responsibility for your own sexuality; don’t let it be defined by your partner, the media or anyone else.

• Don’t drink and/or do drugs beyond your ability to control your body or environment.

• Don’t use alcohol and/or drugs to get someone to have sex with you.

• If you see something that makes you think someone is in danger of being assaulted: step in.

• Men: Become an ally to the women in your life – do not participate in sexist behavior

by objectifying or stereotyping women.

• Women: Participate in a self-defense class. Many are offered free of charge.

• Find out what your local K-12 school board’s policy is on anti-rape and violence prevention education and get involved. If it is not proactive, change it!

• Lobby your local, state, and federal legislators to provide adequate funding for rape crisis centers. (www.thecenternow. org).

If you have been a victim of sexual assault, whether by a stranger, acquaintance or an intimate, know there is help out there and call Steps to HOPE’s 24-hour crisis line at 828-8942340.

A following article will focus on how to get involved.

Cinnamon packs a big nutritional punch In today’s column, I’d like to share with you some of the benefits of one of my favorite spices - cinnamon.

First, spices have been used be many civilizations for centuries, to promote health and well being, and cinnamon is one of the oldest spices known.

It’s mentioned in the Bible, and was used in ancient Egypt.

Cinnamon was so highly treasured at one time, that it was more valuable than gold.

It was also used in Chinese botanical medicine dating back to around 2,700 B.C. Cinnamon is actually the dried bark of the cinnamon tree, and is available in dried tubular form known as “quills” or as ground powder.

What gives cinnamon its nutritional punch is the essential oils found in its bark. These

oils contain active components emergency circumstances, like called “cinnamyl acetate,” “cin- injury, these platelets, through namaldehyde” and “cinnamyl a series of chemical reactions alcohol.” Here are a few health- become activated or sticky ful benefits from cinnamon: and rush to the wound and 1) Lowering cholesterol and clump together in an attempt triglycerides. to stop excess In one study, b l o o d f l o w.

by the pancreas. After food is digested it’s broken down into glucose. Glucose is the body’s main source of energy. It’s often referred to as blood sugar.

Once insulin attaches to cells, other receptors are activated, which then allows the cells to use glucose. Some people become diabetic, because their pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin, but others are insulin resistant. This is because even though they produce insulin, their muscle and liver cells don’t respond properly to it.

As a result, their bodies need more insulin, which in turn over works their pancreas. This can be the start of type 2 diabetes.

Cinnamon helps normalize blood sugar levels by making muscle and liver cells more sen(Continued on page 67)

sitive to signals from insulin.

This improves the cells’ ability to absorb glucose from the blood. By the way…this action was found to be effective in animals as well.

4) Protection from heart disease and improve colon health.

The essential oils in cinnamon are beneficial for health, but the calcium, and dietary fiber found in cinnamon can be helpful in the prevention of different health conditions.

Bile salts are chemicals produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. They help digest fats, but some research shows a link between too much bile salt production and colon cancer.

The calcium and fiber found in cinnamon can bind to these bile salts, and remove them from the body.

Also, when bile is removed, the body has to break down cholesterol to make more. This helps prevent atherosclerosis and heart disease.

It was Wednesday, April 13 around 2 p.m. when I pulled into the shelter.

It had been a long day and I was feeling kind of weary. I was there to drop off medicine and to check on Maple, the emaciated boxer from last week’s tale.

Afterwards, my intention was to head home, check messages and grab a one-hour power nap. As I was parking my car, I spotted Ashley holding a cute little boxer-lab mix on a leash.

Choosing a senior-friendly blood glucose meter Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any tips to help seniors choose a good blood glucose meter? At age 64, I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and my doctor told me I need to keep a close eye on my blood sugar at home.

Retired Diabetic Dear Retired, A blood glucose meter is a vital tool for most diabetics, but with all the models and options available today, selecting one can be a bit confusing. Here are some tips that can help.

Home monitoring Most seniors that have diabetes need a personal blood glucose meter – a small battery-powered device – to measure their blood sugar. Regular monitoring provides valuable information about how food, medications, exercise, stress and many other factors affect your blood sugar, which, in turn, helps you manage your diabetes.

There are many types of meters available today, from basic models to more-advanced meters with multiple features and options. Choosing the right one for you will depend on your wants and needs, as well as your insurance coverage and budget. Here are several factors to consider.

Costs: Your first step is to check with your insurance provider to see how much they’ll cover for the meter and the strips.

The meters themselves don’t cost much, typically between $10 and $85 (you may even be able to get one for free through your doctor or health insurer). But the testing

Savvy Senior strips are pricy, running between 50 cents and $1 each, which really adds up depending on how often you test. So pay close attention to the cost of the test strips when comparing prices.

Ease of use: Some meters are easier to use than others. Seniors often like larger meters that have bigger controls and use larger strips that are easier to handle.

There are also meters that use cartridges of test strips instead of individual strips, and cartridgeloaded lancets, which are very convenient.

Or, if your vision is poor, there are large-display or talking meters that “speak” your results. And some models have a backlight, which is handy for nighttime readings.

Blood sampling: To help reduce the “ouch” factor of testing, many meters today allow you to draw blood from less sensitive areas of the body like the upper arm, forearm, thigh, calf or palm in addition to your fingertip. If you like this option, look for the words “alternate site testing” on the packaging, but be sure you check with your doctor first because readings not taken from the finger may not be as reliable, especially with rapid changes in blood sugar.

Also check the meter box to see how much blood is required for each test. Less (between 0.3 and 1.0 microliters) is better because the lancet won’t poke your skin as deep making it less painful.

WhAt iS PRobAtE? Q. What is probate anyway? a. In a nutshell, the probate process is a court proceeding that establishes the validity of a will and provides oversight to ensure accuracy in accounting for a decedent's assets, fairness in the treatment of heirs, and protection for the rights of the decedent's creditors. the process begins with the presentation of the will and can take on average 6 to 12 months. Of course this depends on the complexity of the estate and whether there are any challenges to the will. It is not necessary to hire a lawyer for every probate. If the assets are simple and there are no tax or other complexities and the executor is available in the state and has the time and capacity to handle the matters that arise, the executor can complete the process without attorney involvement.

pabilities: Most meters have memory so you can store and recall past readings, and some have the capability of averaging your test results for seven, 14 and 30-day time periods, which is also very helpful.

If you test several times a day, get a meter that stores at least 200 to 450 readings. And, if you’re computer savvy, consider a meter that lets you download your readings to your computer.
