Pediatric Seminar was an outgrowth of the medical facilities in the area. From 1921 – 1959, an estimated 3,000 – 4,000 doctors from all over the county (Continued on page 4)

LHS honors Cooper with first-ever Work Coop award by Samantha Hurst

“Committed” became a term synonymous with Landrum High School graduate Caleb Cooper around Habitat for Humanity’s Restore Shop in Landrum this year. “He was like my left arm just being here,” said Habitat store manager JoEllen Kniffin. The recent graduate was honored on senior day with the first Work Coop Award ever awarded by LHS. Cooper participates in the Life Certificate Program at Landrum, which allows students to spend many of their traditional school hours at a job site. Life instructor Randall Cummings said the award was created to honor a kid who had developed stronger life skills and gotten out there and shown progress using those skills in the work place. “Caleb has just gotten excellent reviews all across the board. This year he just took off and has

worked hard. He developed a high level of dedication,” Cummings said. Through the Life program, students are placed in jobs and given a job coach. They then receive evaluations from the job coach and the

employers. Through the program students must achieve a certain number of work hours, whether paid or volunteer. Cooper began volunteering at the Restore Shop in September, working two days a week.

Kniffin said the work served as good socialization for Cooper and taught him how to think from a business perspective. “It’s a good experience for him, (Continued on page 4)

It’s fun to work with most of the people who are volunteers there,” Cooper said. “I like building stuff and lifting heavy stuff. I’ve been working there so long that they’ve asked me to do have a lot more responsibility.” Cummings said the program was happy to honor Cooper as its first Work Coop Award winner. “You give him a task, he was

going to get it done,” Cummings said. “His sense of helpfulness is in it because he wasn’t getting paid at this job, but he was taking it seriously and worked hard at it.” Cummings said the Life program hopes to add additional awards for its participants next year. About five students participate in the Life Certificate Program at LHS each year. As for Cooper’s future, he is currently coordinating with a job coach to get placement working at the Adidas warehouse in Spartanburg, S.C. Cooper said he wants to continue volunteering at Habitat on his off days. “I’ve always like to help people and the manager is always asking for me to help whenever I can,” he said.

Cottage, Smith Hill Drive and Tree Tops. Aurora Lodge Aurora Lodge (H a m e r House) was the first house on Smith Hill and was a summer house for Colonel Sloan of Charleston. One of his granddaughters, Clara Smith Carter, now owns the property. The high-ceilinged home has four fireplaces. Babies and their nurses stayed here. The house has gone through several reno-

vations through the years. Cameron was used as the kitchen for Aurora Lodge, and the help stayed here. Bon Air Bon Air was built for Nettie Hane and her cousin in 1896. It was used as a summer residence and boarding house as well as a hospital and a school during winter months. When the Smith Hill property was divided in 1960, Dr. Keitt Hane Smith and his wife Vivian became the owners. Their daughter, Vivian “Vee Vee” Smith Blackshear, became owner of

the house upon Viv’s death in 1998. The children’s dining hall (the round building – the Tea House) was built around 1920 and stabilized around 2006.

Seminar Hall Seminar Hall was the last building erected on Smith Hill. The many windowed lecture hall was designed to accommodate student chairs, and a raised platform at one end provided every student a clear view of the lecturer. Dr. Keitt Smith gave it to his daughter, Lesesne Dickson, and her husband, Gene, and they converted it to a

summer cottage. In 2000, they sold it to Lynn and Mike Cass, who began living here full-time in 2009. Sleepy Hollow Cottage Sleepy Hollow Cottage was built by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kennedy of Spartanburg around 1917 with post and beam construction. Acquired by Dr. Smith, it was used to house nurses for the Infants’ and Children’s Sanitarium in the 1920s and became known as the “Nurses Home.” In the mid-1960s, Tennent Hane of Fort Motte, S.C., purchased the summer cottage from his first cousin, Porcher Smith. Hane always told everyone that he measured all of his first cousin’s porches to ensure that, though Sleepy Hollow was the smallest house on the hill, it would have the largest porch. It is now owned by Tennent’s daughter, Jenny Hane, and her husband, Julian Wiles. In 2005, they began an extensive renovation with the help of Saluda contractor Adam Henry. The porch remains the same.

Smith Hill Drive 50 Smith Hill Drive was built by the Matthews family of Charleston about 1910. The house was part of the sanitarium and accommodated mothers and children and, years later, was used for playing poker at night. Various children of Dr. Smith occupied the house until the (Continued on page 8)

1960s. Louisa Searson, who was married to Daniel Ravenel, a nephew of Dr. Smith, bought the house from Porcher Smith in the late 1960s. In 2008, Louisa turned the house over to her daughter, Lavinia Ravenel French who has spent the past two years renovating and rebuilding the house. Tree Tops Tree Tops, the home of Nettie and George Sweet, was built

in 1908 for Nettie Haneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Ammie Hane Smith. It has been used as a home for the Smiths, Owingses and Sweets, a place for house-paying guests at the sanitarium and as a physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, with some additions over the years. After the house passed to the Sweets, renovations began in 1994 to make the house suitable for year-round habitation. Don Mintzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crews did the major work and George Sweet worked behind the scenes.

This is the first operation Hill said he can remember of this magnitude in Polk County in his approximately 20 years of working with the sheriff’s office. The abuse of prescription medication is one of the biggest problems in Polk County, Hill said, and he plans to offer no negotiations in the prosecution of these cases.

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.

Lifetime QTIP

Q. My husband and I have an estate of $3 million, but his share of our property is only $300,000. Is there any way to ensure my husband’s estate will use the applicable exclusion amount if he dies first and ensure that my property will go to my children after we are both gone? A. Yes As it currently stands if your husband dies before you do, only $300,000 will be in his estate and the benefit of the full exclusion amount ($1million) will be lost. By using a lifetime QTIP trust, you can make a tax-free gift to your husband but control the use of that gift. The value of the QTIP will be included in your husband’s estate and not yours. You can provide that when you are both gone, the property remaining in the QTIP trust is to go to your children. This technique accomplishes both goals of reducing estate taxes and ensuring that your children receive the benefit of your assets.

Corporate Trustee

Q. What is a corporate trustee and why would I use one. A. A corporate trustee is a bank trust department or trust company.

N.C. economy forecasted to grow 2.7 percent this year North Carolina’s economy should grow 2.7 percent this year, an improvement from the sluggish 1 percent growth seen last year, said UNC Charlotte economist John Connaughton. In his latest quarterly forecast, Connaughton forecasts North Carolina will gain 64,700 net jobs this year, giving the state a 1.7-percent employment increase compared to December of last year. Connaughton, an economics professor at UNC-Charlotte, said the state’s economy started last year with strong growth, but it slowed during the spring and summer quarters. He said the wholesale trade, retail trade and services sectors are helping lead the N.C. economy to stronger growth this year. The UNC economist forecasts growth in seven of the state’s top 11 economic sectors, including wholesale trade (5.1 percent growth

estimate), retail trade (3 percent), services (3 percent) and mining (2.3 percent). The other sectors expected to grow this year are: finance, insurance and real estate (1.5 percent); government (1.1 percent); and nondurable goods manufacturing (0.3 percent). The wholesale trade, retail trade, services and finance, insurance and real estate sectors are expected to lead the state’s job growth.

party lines Wednesday and it was expected to give it final approval yesterday. The budget, opposed by Democrats in the Republicancontrolled Senate, is expected to head to the N.C. House for votes today and tomorrow before heading to the desk of Governor Bev Perdue. Perdue has criticized the spending plan, which she said will result in layoffs of teachers and teacher assistants across the state, while also cutting into other public services. The Senate budget requires school districts to come up with $124.2 million in additional savings, an amount that State Board of Education Chairman Bill Harrison said will harm classrooms, particularly because it comes after two years of similar funding cuts. The budget also cuts funds in

Around the Region

*** The N.C. Senate has passed a $19.7 billion spending plan that includes funds to reduce class sizes by hiring more grade-school teachers, but cuts education funding in multiple other areas. The Senate approved the budget, which would take effect July 1, on a preliminary vote along

a variety of other areas, including new textbooks, instructional supplies, instructional support (guidance counselors, social workers and media specialists), other personnel (janitors, clerical staff), central office staff, staff development, the Dropout Prevention Program and the More at Four pre-K program. Republicans in the N.C. Senate said cuts are needed across the state budget to close a $2.5 billion deficit, but they note the budget includes some spending increases for education. The Senate-backed spending plan includes $61.7 million to reduce class sizes by hiring 1,124 more grade-school teachers across the state. The Senate budget also adds five days to the school calendar and spends $200,000 to study literacy programs in third grade and ways to reduce remedial education at (Continued on page 16)

university and community college campuses. The budget approved by the Senate provides funding for project enrollment growth at community colleges and the University of North Carolina system. However, the budget also requires colleges to find additional savings at their discretion. The community college system must find $50.8 million in additional savings, while the university system must come up with savings of 414 million. *** Mitsubishi Nuclear Systems plans to invest $4.1 million and hire 135 engineers and other employees as it establishes its engineering center in Charlotte. The company said the move is needed to meet “the growing needs of our U.S. utility customers for safe and efficient nuclear power plant technology.” U.S. Senator Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) said the engineering center will work with UNC Charlotte to expand cleanenergy technology for utilities

in the United States. She said Mitsubishi’s decision to locate the center in Charlotte makes sense given the city’s reputation as “a premier business and clean-energy hub.” North Carolina will provide as much as $2.8 million in incentives if Mitsubishi attains the job creation and investment targets. *** A f t e r previously rejecting a controversial economic incentives package for Amazon, the S.C. General Assembly has approved a tax collection exemption for a large Amazon distribution center near Columbia, S.C. The center, expected to begin operation in late 2013, will create about 2,000 jobs, according to Amazon, which also said it may be interested in establishing facilities in other areas of the state, including Spartanburg. State legislators rejected the tax collection exemption in a vote on April 27 after Republican Governor Nikki Haley, along with Tea Party members and other conserva-

tive groups, voiced disapproval. Haley said the incentive, which gives Amazon a five-year exemption from collecting sales taxes on purchases by South Carolina residents, would create an unleveled playing field for retailers in the state. She also said it created an unfavorable precedent for attracting future businesses. However, business leaders and citizens urged the General Assembly to reconsider, particularly after Amazon stopped work on the new distribution center following the April 27 vote. Some state officials said other companies were declining to consider South Carolina after the state rejected Amazon’s incentives package. The S.C. Senate approved the incentive package for Amazon last week, and this week the S.C. House approved the measure by a vote of 90-14. Haley has said she plans to let the measure take effect without her approval. Work on the new $125 million distribution center, the largest development in the

The aircraft maintenance plans currently has about 1,100 workers. The company said the decision to lay off workers was made after the U.S. Navy awarded a federal contract for maintenance repairs and overhaul work on P-3 Orion aircraft to L-3 Communications in Wako, Texas, rather than Lockheed. However, Lockheed said the Greenville, S.C., facility has other significant contracts with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, Customs and Border Protection and international agencies, and it will remain an important part of the aeronautics company’s operations. *** The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival has canceled its main fall season for the first time in its 34-year history. The festival is expected to lose more than $200,000 in funding from the state government, based on spending plans proposed by the legislature. Pedro Silva, managing director for the festival, said it appears the cuts will be permanent. The festival has received about $250,000 a year from the state over the past decade, providing nearly one quarter of its annual $1.1 million budget. In each of the past two years, the festival held only one main season play because of declining revenue. Despite the expected $200,000 funding cut this year, Silva said the Shakespeare festival plans to continue other programs, such as workshops and summer educational camps. The festival organizers, he said, also plan to look at ways they can move ahead with a new, improved Shakespeare festival for the future. *** (Continued on page 17)

The filming is expected to take place at the North Fork Reservoir and other locations around the city between June 20 to June 30, according to DownWithTheCapital.net. Filming of the movie, based on the post-apocalyptic novel by Suzanne Collins, previously took place in Burke County and around Shelby. The movie, which reportedly has a budget of about $75 million, is considered one of the largest movies ever filmed in Western North Carolina. Other movies filmed in the region in the past include “The Last of the Mohicans,” “Patch Adams,” Bull Durham” and “Nell.” “The Hunger Games” is directed by Gary Ross, who also directed “Sea Biscuit” and “Pleasantville.”

Thieves targeting car parts To the Editor: Wa r n i n g t o o u r c o m munity, thieves may be targeting you or rather your car. Last week four catalytic converters were cut off four vehicles, at my husband’s garage, during the night. Skyrocketing prices for scrap metal has fueled this crime spree. Depending on the catalytic converter thieves can get $40 to $100 per converter. It only takes a minute and a battery powered cutting tool to wreak havoc to your car and your wallet. This is very personal to us. Our business is very small and my husband is our sole income. I want others in the community to be aware of what’s going and to try to be prepared. Thieves are looking for vehicles that sit higher from the ground, such as trucks, pick-ups and SUVs, which are particularly vulnerable to catalytic converter theft because thieves can slide underneath without having to jack up the vehicle to gain access to the converter. Thieves typically look for vehicles that are parked for prolonged

In this case they must have driven by daily, seen the cars parked at the garage and came during the night to steal the converters. I found some ways to help in preventing this theft: 1. Always park in well-lighted areas. 2. At shopping centers and other similar parking lots, park close the entrance of the building, or near the access road where there’s a lot of traffic. 3. If you own or work at a business or factory, park within a fenced area that’s busy during the day and secured at night. 4. Engrave your license plate number on the converter to make it traceable. This can help with local police investigations. 5. Purchase a vehicle security system, and make sure it's set to triggered with just the slightest motion. 6. Visit a local muffler shop and have the converter secured to the vehicle’s frame with a couple of pieces of hardened steel welded to the frame. 7. Check out the different types of catalytic converter theft deterrent systems at your local auto parts store or on the Internet. – Melinda Champion, Tryon

Polk County High School holds baseball awards banquet by Daniel Hecht

The Polk County High School baseball program held its annual awards banquet last Thursday evening, May 26, at the Tryon Youth Center. Coaches, players, parents and fans gathered May 26 to celebrate another outstanding season for Wolverine baseball, as the team finished 18-6 overall and 12-2 in conference competition. During the banquet, the

program honored the team’s seven graduating seniors, including Lucas Cash, Juan Hicks, Andre Overholt, Tyler Philpott, Rooster Ross, Dakota Turner and Ryan Thomas. In addition to setting a record for career wins with 73, the most in county history, the class of 2011 also recorded four consecutive seasons of 17 wins or more, averaging 18 wins over their four seasons. The seniors recorded back-

to-back 19-win seasons while making four consecutive trips to the playoffs, reaching at least the third round each year. With eight playoff wins in four years, the most in county history, the seniors did not lose a home playoff game during their high school careers. Coaches Ty Stott, Billy Alm and Josh McEntire also recognized their most outstanding players by giving out special awards during the

event. Joel Booker received several honors, including the hard hit average award, Gold Glove award, MVP award and the batting title award with a .529 season average, a singleseason school record. Booker also set season records for on-base percentage (.625) and slugging percentage (1.000), as well as the season record (Continued on page 25)

for multi-hit games with 14. Booker’s outstanding performance earned him a spot on the All Western Highlands Conference team. Andre Overholt was also named to the All Conference squad, as the senior shattered the school’s career batting average record, ending his career as a Wolverine with a .451 mark. Overholt also broke the long-standing school record for hits in a season with 38. Overholt received a Gold Glove award and an MVP award, as well as earning one of three coveted team captain patches. Rooster Ross received a Team award as well as the second team captain’s patch. The senior catcher also pulled down All Western Highlands Conference honors, as he finished his career as a Wolverine with 70 hits, 56 RBIs

and 69 runs scored. Ross also holds Polk’s single game record for walks with four. Tyler Philpott earned a Gold Glove award as he again anchored the Wolverine defense at first base. The senior earned the third team captain patch, as he set a new school record for career RBIs with 71 and career putouts with 427. Philpott wrapped up his tenure at Polk with 13 home runs, good for second place on the school’s all-time list. Alec Philpott and Roberto Taft both earned spots on the All Western Highlands Conference roster as well. Sophomore Philpott batted .452 for the season with a .514 on base percentage, while Taft earned the team’s most outstanding pitcher award, finishing the season 6-1 with a 1.42 ERA while batting .406. Senior Ryan Thomas earned a Team award as well, while TJ Fincher and Dakota Turner shared the award for Most Improved Player.

Editor’s note: The Polk County Outdoor Education class at Polk County High School re2x4 cently took a trip to the Pisgah National Forest. The following was written by Heather Claussen, the physical education/healthful living teacher at PCHS. Our trip started at Brevard College and included a tour of the Wilderness Leadership and Experiential Education (WLEE) program. One of the interns there, TDBPROMO -Emily, page gave 127 us a short lesson on Leave No Trace (LNT) and we also got to meet the Voice of the Rivers group who were preparing to depart for a trip. They were doing a short lesson on layering clothes, which we were able to participate in as well. From there, we headed to the campsite. Each pair was responsible for finding and setting up a comfortable place for their tent in the area. Then it was on to our first dinner. Each person had a partner with whom they were responsible for planning and preparing a meal for the group. Cabell Brand and Josh Cuthbertson were the first pair to prepare dinner. They chose to prepare campfire pizzas, made by taking a tortilla, spreading some pizza sauce, adding pepperoni

came the task of heating it up (some decided eating it cold was much less work). Those of the group who wanted a hot pizza had to find a happy medium of not burning it, keeping it from falling into the fire and trying not to get ash all over it. Overall, it was a pretty successful meal. Before we headed off to bed, we were entertained by singing and guitar playing from Cabell. The first night was definitely the coldest and some learned that they couldn’t sleep the same as they did back in the comfort of their homes. Sarah Angier said, “I went to bed in shorts and a T-shirt, waking up every few hours to apply another layer of clothes. In the morning, I was wearing half the wardrobe I brought.” This was a good lesson learned the first night as we were better prepared and nobody was cold any of the other nights. The next morning, we rose early at 6 a.m. to catch a hike on a busy trail. We traveled up to the base of Looking Glass Rock and enjoyed some time there. Another hike we took part in on Sunday was to the top of John Rock. From here the view just seemed (Continued on page 33)

The group hiked to the top of John Rock (shown above), learned how to fly fish, took an informational tour of the Pisgah Fish Hatchery and learned and practiced using a GPS for geocaching.

to keep on going. Danielle Klie commented on the hike, saying, “I must say, it was a gorgeous view to see after such a long hike and it was well worth it.” We also had the privilege of participating in two classes

through the Pisgah Education Center. Regarding the classes, Haley Champion said, “I was exhausted from my hard weekend of camping and thought these classes would put me to sleep, but surprisingly enough, they kept me interested.” One of the classes was a GPS course, in which we learned

about geocaching. We were also taken on a tour of the fish hatchery and learned how one operates and its purpose. The students were also responsible for preparing and teaching a 30-minute lesson on various outdoor topics, some of which included fly fishing, coon hunting, bear safety, plant identification, first aid, constellations

and weather forecasting. Overall the group said the weekend was very relaxing and enjoyable as well as educational. “I was very proud of these students and the work they put into this camping trip. They were very respectful and responsible everywhere we went, which made this trip a success in every way,” said Coach Claussen.

Clayton Carey

Unitarian Universalists meet June 12 The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet on Sunday, June 12 at 10:30 a.m. at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 W. The speaker will be Reverend Jean Rowe, who will speak on the topic, “Celebrating with Flowers.” “In the late 1930s in Prague, Czechoslovakia, a young Unitarian minister planned a community celebration during the Nazi occupation. He wanted it to be a joyful, strong statement of the unity of the Czech people. He chose flowers as the symbol for his celebration, thinking the Nazis wouldn’t see any significance in a bunch of flowers. It became a powerful annual celebration of community unity. For this ‘flower communion,’ each one brings

a flower (bought, homegrown or found along the roadside). Together we’ll make a large bouquet and each person will go home with a different flower. We’ll share the story, which has continued to grow here and abroad,” said Rowe. The annual meeting and the election of officers for next year will be held immediately after the service. Following the meeting, a potluck lunch will be served. The UU board will provide barbecue. Members are asked to bring salads, casseroles, desserts and utensils and paper plates. For more information, call 828-894-5776 or visit uutryonnc.org online. – article submitted by Dan Dworkin

Are you 100% sure if you died today that you would go to Heaven? You can be sure! How to Find New Life in Christ

This is what the Bible tells us: By nature, your heart runs from God and rebels against Him. The Bible calls this "sin." Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Yet God loves you and wants to save you from your sins. To give you this gift of salvation, God made a way through His Son, Jesus Christ. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” You receive this gift by faith alone. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Will you receive Jesus Christ right now? 1. Admit your need (I am a sinner). 2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent). 3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for You on the cross and rose from the grave. 4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come into your heart and life through the Holy Spirit (Receive Him as Lord and Savior). If you are choosing right now to receive new life through Jesus Christ, pray this prayer. Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus Name, Amen This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should: 1. Read your Bible everyday to know Christ better. 2. Talk to God in prayer every day. 3. Tell others about your commitment to Christ. 4. Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a Bible-teaching church. If you have trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know. We want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you to grow spiritually. If you have questions please call:

people, a preacher who speaks to the people in the pew and a skilled community organizer. She is quick to remind people that “there are two million ministers in The Episcopal Church and many are still waiting to use their gifts actively to help bring about the Kingdom of God. Let’s get going.” Workshops for the conference will deal with communications, youth, money, healing ministry and prayer. Specifically, participants can learn about “Your Parish and the Social Network,” “Peace in the Holy Land?” and “Fundamentalism a Decade after 9/11.” A bookstore containing workshop-related resources will be available.

Simplified computer options for seniors Dear Savvy Senior Do you know of any home computers that are specifically designed for senior citizens? I would like to get a computer for my 73-year-old mother, but she’s not computer savvy at all. Looking Around Dear Looking, There are actually several computers on the market today that are designed specifically for older boomers and seniors who want, and need, things simple. Here are some top options to check out. Telikin: For seniors who have little or no computer experience the new Telikin touch-screen computer is a wonderful option. Ready to go right out of the box, this innovative computer comes pre-loaded with simplified software that makes accessing the web, email, games, video chat, photo sharing, news, weather and more, just a touch of the screen away. And since it runs on Linux software instead of the standard Windows or Mac OS, it’s a virus-free computer too. The Telikin comes with a sleek 18.6-inch LCD touchscreen (a 20-inch touchscreen will be available in mid to

late June), 320-gigabyte hard drive, built-in speakers, webcam, microphone, wired keyboard and mouse. The Telikin also provides a unique “tech buddy” feature that can help seniors get computer assistance when needed. Priced at $700 (the 20-inch model will retail for $995), Telikin comes with a 60-day trial period, one-year warranty and free support for the first 60 days. Visit telikin.com or call 800-230-3881 to learn more. It’s also worth noting that Telikin has a partnership with firstSTREET (firststreetonline. com, 800-704-1209), a senior product direct marketing company which is also selling this computer rebranded as the “WOW! Computer for seniors.”

best model. This PC comes equipped with QualiWorld software that provides one-click solutions for tasks like letter writing, preparing a document, surfing the Internet, sending and reading emails and much more. The Autopilot also comes with OnTimeRx medication and appointment reminding software, Hoyle Crossword and Sudoku puzzles, a highcontrast keyboard, mouse, 17-inch monitor, speakers and a color printer all for $1,125. They also offer this same Autopilot computer in a laptop edition for $1,165. Or, for seniors with low vision their Vision Plus model may be a better fit. This computer comes pre-configured with everything you need to see your PC, including stateof-the-art screen magnification software, a high visibility keyboard, and an all-in-one printer/ scanner for scanning in books, mail and other reading materials for magnification. It also comes with OnTimeRx medication reminder software, Hoyle Crossword and Sudoku puzzles, a 17-inch monitor, mouse and external speakers. The price: $1,255

Senior PCs: Sold through Enablemart (enablemart.com, 888-640-1999), Senior PCs are Hewlett-Packard computers that also come completely set-up and ready to use, but depending on your mom’s needs, you’ll have several options to choose from. If you’re looking for simplified “goof-proof” operation, the Autopilot desktop is the

for the Vision Plus desktop, or $1,895 for the laptop edition. Kiwi PC: If you’re looking for something more affordable, the new Linux-powered Kiwi PC for seniors is another option to consider. Priced at just $380, this userfriendly computer provides a simplified navigation system, with oversized tool bar, large icons and text that makes it easier to see and use. Other features include a customizable “Me Menu” that provides quick and easy access to frequently visited websites, e-mail and programs straight from the desktop, a color-coded keyboard, 19-inch monitor and a toll-free phone support line that’s available 24/7. See kiwipc.com, or call 855-255-5494. Savvy Tip: While it’s not designed specifically for seniors, the Apple IPad2 ($499) is another user-friendly option that has gotten great reviews from older users. See apple. com to learn more. 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.
