The MLS M6 Cold Laser Therapy is an outpatient, non-surgical procedure, often used in physical therapy and sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. It offers noninvasive treatment to promote healing for those who suffer from pain in muscles, nerves, and joints, like that associated with chronic knee pain.

For the First 25 Callers Only, I’m running a very special offer where you can find out if you are a candidate for Cold Laser therapy.

This same laser is used by professional sports teams including the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Bengals.

• A complete neuromuscular examination.

It Promotes Rapid Healing of The Injured Tissues This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury damage. This leading edge technology has an impressive success rate of returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life.

What does this offer include? Everything I normally do in my “Knee Pain Evaluation”. Just call and here’s what you’ll get… • An in-depth consultation about your problem where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case. • A thorough analysis of your exam findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. • You’ll see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients. The First 25 Callers Only can get everything I’ve listed here for only $99. The normal price for this type of evaluation is $450, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer. Remember what it was like before you had knee problems; when you were pain free and could enjoy everything life had to offer? It can be that way again. Don’t neglect your problem any longer – don’t wait until it’s too late.

Yours in Health, A. Elliot Hirshorn, III, DC, DACNB, DPSc

HERE’S WHAT PATIENTS SAY...

Tibia Before Dr. Hirshorn, I had worked with 3 “My knees have been bothering me for 6 or 7 years. different doctors, getting results for a short time, but the pain would come back. My pain was at its worst a 7 out of 10, and I noticed results from the laser within a couple weeks. I have had a 70-80% improvement. I can do my usual activities with little to no discomfort.” -David A.

“My left knee is bone on bone and I have suffered for 4 years with pain. My pain was a 6 out of 10 and is now down to a 1 out of 10. I am walking quite a bit now. Before I could only walk about 50 feet and the pain would start. For anyone considering treatment, I would recommend they try it. It can’t hurt, and the results may surprise you!” -Evelyn F.

“I have no pain whatsoever. I was a skeptic at first, but I trust Dr. Hirshorn. Anyone who has knee pain of any type should check it out and see what he can do for them. You won’t regret it.” -Art H.

“I had a lot of knee pain and legs and toes that were tingling with no feeling in them. I’ve seen other doctors and all they could do was provide pain medications. Dr. Hirshorn has provided treatments that have helped me tremendously. I have more movement, I can bend better, I have less pain, I don’t wake up all through the night. He has helped me a lot!” -Roger S.

Campaign for Greenville Road Improvement Begins Beth Kelley Fann | beth@simpsonvillebanner.com Monday, August 18, 2014 This fall, voters in Greenville County will have to choose yes or no to a tax increase earmarked for road improvement. Earlier in the year grassroots activists spoke up loudly against adding the measure to November’s ballot, but County Council voted to put the question to voters. The original group opposed cited that taxpayers are already funding road improvements, but that money is going to different areas. The group also states via NoTaxHikeSC. com that this County tax would go toward repair and maintenance of state roads as well. On Wednesday, a group called Citizens for a Better Greenville County ended a three-stop tour of the areas the tax is intended for. A meeting was held the Food Lion off of West Georgia Road to address concerns and view the areas. According to a press release from the group’s public relations firm, the Bad Roads Tour stop in Simpsonville “...is the third in a series of walking tours that will highlight some of the worst roads and intersections in Greenville County. The areas on the tour are all on the list created by the citizens roads commission that show the infrastructure that needs restoration.” The firm provided an improvement list for the Golden Strip, that it says a “Yes” vote would begin to tackle:

LOCAL NEWS

Simpsonville’s New Administrator Focused on a Positive City Beth Kelley Fann | beth@simpsonvillebanner.com Monday, August 18, 2014 months at City Hall. Serving as an employee of the City and not an elected official, Dyrhaug’s goals are more focused on creating a positive experience for Simpsonville. Dyrhaug is not new to Simpsonville. For the past seven years he has served as the City Planner. A permanent replacement for City Planner is in the works.

Last week Simpsonville City Council voted to make David Dyrhaug’s interim position as Administrator permanent. Dyrhaug stepped into the role in January following several tumultuous

Prior to making Simpsonville home, he served as City Planner in Destin, Florida. He has also worked for the cities of Clemson, South Carolina, Arlington Heights, Illinois and Springville, Utah. He earned his Bachelor’s of Science in Planning and Resource Management from Brigham Young University and went on to receive his Master’s in City and Regional Planning from

Clemson University. In the type of government Simpsonville exercises, the City Administrator is over all of the City’s day to day functions. Police, Fire, Finance, Public Works and Parks and Recreation all fall under the Administrator’s leadership. The Administrator works with Council and the Mayor on behalf of the City’s employees and oversees the day to day operations. When asked about this new role, he used the opportunity to talk about his team. “We all recognize that the City is growing—which brings both opportunities and challenges— but Simpsonville has a smalltown charm that makes it a really special place. The City also has an incredible team of employees

second to none. You may see them responding to emergencies, organizing activities for youth and senior citizens, repairing streets and sewers, patrolling the city, collecting your garbage, assisting people at City Hall, and the list goes on”. He says his aim is to help the City and its employees continue to shine. In a town known for familyfriendliness and growth, that optimistic outlook is welcomed by many. Dyrhaug can be reached at (864) 967-9526 or at City Hall located at 118 N.E. Main Street, Simpsonville, SC 29681. More information on the City of Simpsonville is available at simpsonville.com

HISTORY OUR RECIPES: BACK TO SCHOOL | HEALTHY LUNCHES

Tips for Packing Healthy Lunches By Megan Miller, R.D. It’s back to school time, which means the extra stress of thinking about what to prepare for the kids’ lunch is about to return. The typical sandwich is boring after about two days and many kids do not get excited about the idea of a salad. Microwave dinners or leftovers are not always readily available or appropriate. The challenge is to get our kiddos to eat healthy without realizing it and not stressing out in the process.

Step Two: Try to get in each food group Meals should include protein, vegetables, fruit, whole grain and low-fat dairy products.

Step Three: Find fun colors Pick colorful foods for lunches and avoid a “beige” meal.

Let’s take it one step at a time:

Step One: Use what you’ve got Pack dinner leftovers, assemble a lunch buffet that resembles “Lunchables” or use breakfast for lunch.

Here are some lunch ideas to try:

Homemade “Lunchables” Whole wheat crackers (Reduced fat Wheat Thins or Triscuits)

Lean meat of choice (Look for the American Heart Association stamp of approval. Boar’s Head meats are always good.) Two slices of low-fat cheese or two wedges of Laughing Cow Cheese Make a sandwich ingredients

Stuffed peppers

cold pasta salad.

Sides Apples slices (rubber band together to prevent oxidation) Cereal trail mix with Kashi, Multigrain Cheerios, Fiber One, raisins or dried cranberries and Gerber yogurt bites (on the baby food snack aisle)

Use peppers as a vessel for unique food like hummus, quinoa salad, chicken or tuna salad made with low-fat yogurt and mayo.

Snapea Crisps instead of chips

Dinner leftovers

Veggies such as chopped peppers, carrots, zucchini/yellow squash with light ranch dressing

Use pastas made from whole grains, veggies or black beans with vegetables, cubes of low-fat cheese and light Italian dressing to make a

Press Release from GCSO: Greenville County Schools will be starting the 20142015 school year on Tuesday, August 19, 2014. In an effort to ensure the safety of Greenville’s students the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit will be aggressively patrolling the school zones. Enforcement of the school zones will take place during the morning and afternoon school zone hours. School zones are clearly marked throughout the county by flashing yellow caution lights and/or posted signs bearing the hours in which the school zones are in effect and enforceable. The Traffic Unit will be on the look out for speeders and any other traffic violation that could endanger the safety of the children of Greenville County. During the first eight days of the 2013-2014 school year the Traffic Unit issued a total of 342 speeding citations in school zones. Sheriff Steve Loftis reminds all drivers to take caution while approaching and passing through school zones and that state law mandates a motorist to come to a complete STOP for a stopped school bus with activated flashing lights when: • You are on a two-lane highway, travelling in either direction; • You are on a multi-lane highway traveling behind the bus, you must stop. If you are on a multi-lane highway and meet a stopped school bus heading toward you, you do not have to stop but should simply slow down and pass with caution.

Getting Ready for Bow Season Brandon Herring Monday, August 18, 2014

With bow season opening soon, bow hunters are starting to get their equipment out and get it ready. A lot has changed in the last few years and it seems like all you need to do is knock the dust off your bow and go shoot some deer. What many hunters often forget is the importance of good, quality gear. This month we’re going to discuss the almost lost art of bow tuning and making sure your gear is up to the task of dropping that big buck you’ve been watching all summer. Before we jump in, I know not everyone hunts with a compound bow. There are some guys out there who enjoy keeping the old traditions of hunting with recurve bows. Some take it to the next level and make their own arrows. Traditional bow hunting has its own set of rules when it comes to tuning. Some of the following tips may help, but they are tailored to hunting with a compound bow. If you’d like to discuss bow tuning with a traditional recurve bow, drop me a line at brandon@simpsonvillebanner.com and I’ll be happy to share what I know.

If you’re using a dual cam bow, the most import part of tuning your bow is making sure your cams are timed correctly. You want both of your wheels to turn over at exactly the same time when you draw back on the string. Incorrectly timed cams can result in unequal pressure on the nock of the arrow causing it to stray from a straight flight path. These cams can be thrown

out of sync by a number of different factors, but the two most common are old strings and improper installation of new strings. If your string is a couple of seasons old or if you have just replaced your string, double check your cam timing. Next, you’ll want to make sure your arrow rest is aligned properly. The arrow should sit directly in the center of arrow rest if you shoot with a release aid, or slightly away from the bow if you release with your fingers. Proper arrow rest alignment is vital in sighting in your bow since the take-off point of the arrow tends to dictate which way the arrow will travel in flight. Once you have your rest aligned, check for clearance as the arrow travels through the rest. Make sure your fletching and nock clear the rest as much as possible. You can avoid fletching contact with the rest by rotating the nock on the arrow shaft. Also, be aware of the size of nock you are using on your arrow. If the nock has a larger diameter than the arrow shaft it can hit the rest as it comes through and send your arrow in a direction you weren’t expecting. Now that everything is timed and lined up, take some practice shots at a target to get a feel for how the bow is going to shoot. A method commonly used by the pros involves hanging some sort of paper between the shooter and the target within the line of flight. Place the paper

GOLDEN STRIP OUTDOORS around 4 yards out to get a good idea of how the arrow is leaving the bow since 90% of the arrow’s flight pattern starts at the bow itself. Make sure the paper isn’t so big that it blocks your view of the target, but make it big enough to capture any side to side travel of the arrow. Bad nocking points and misaligned arrow rests will send your arrow out with the tail end out somewhere behind the point that it shouldn’t be. Look at the paper after your shot. If you aren’t seeing a small hole similar to what a bullet would make, you have some adjustments to make. If your paper has horizontal tears, try moving your arrow rest left or right to compensate. Double check again to make sure nothing on the arrow shaft is coming in contact with the arrow rest as it leaves the bow. If your tears are vertical, check the timing of the cams and your nocking point. If your nocking point is too high or too low it can cause the arrow to “ramp off” of the arrow rest resulting in bad flight. If you aren’t getting consistent results, the problem may lie with the arrows you’re using. Department stores and sporting goods stores sell cheaply made arrows for around $6 apiece. These arrows aren’t really going to perform very well, especially from a fast compound bow. They may be good for a beginner just starting out or for fun shooting in the back yard, but the serious hunter will need a serious arrow. The cheap arrows are made cheaply to sell cheaply. As a result, they are often inconsistent in weight, thickness, and even straightness. Spend the extra money and get a set of good quality hunting arrows and you may see huge improvements in your shooting. Bloodsport® (www.bloodsport.co) has a selection of some of the best arrows on the market as well as a guide to help you pick the correct arrow for your needs. They will even cut the arrows to your specified length for even finer

tuning of your arrow. Also take into consideration your arrow’s spine. The spine of an arrow is the invisible point on the shaft that helps it recover from flexing. As an arrow is pushed through the take-off zone of a bow, the force exerted on the back of the arrow causes the shaft to flex. The stiffer the spine, the less flex. If you’re shooting a fast bow with a heavy draw weight, consider a stiffer spine when buying your arrows. A 350 spine on a carbon shaft arrow is pretty universal for hunting. Anything above 400 will start to flex as it leaves the bow and the flight pattern will be affected.

shots at your target. Shooting down onto your target from a treestand is much different than standing flat and aiming at a flat target. Now that you have a finely tuned setup, get out there and get us some pictures. We’d love to see how your season goes. Send your pictures to brandon@simpsonvillebanner.com and if we like them, we’ll print them.

Many hunters practice all year long with field points on their arrows, then switch up to broadheads the day they hit the treestand. Field points are generally smaller and fit much closer to the arrow shaft diameter. A broadhead is bigger, weighs more, and the fixed blade types are affected by crosswinds more than a field point. Today’s mechanical broadheads can perform as well as a field point. If you’re a hunter that still uses the fixed blade broadheads, try rolling your arrow along a flat surface, like a table, and watch the broadhead as the arrow rotates. Any wobbling in that broadhead will be greatly exaggerated in flight and may be the reason why your shots are hitting two feet away from your intended target. Finally, practice shooting with the exact same gear you will be hunting with. This includes your bow, arrows WITH broadheads, hunting clothes, and your treestand or ground blind. As easy as it is to target practice all day in your back yard, kill shots rarely happen on flat, even ground with a clear shot of the target 25 yards away. Put all your restrictive gear on, climb up in a tree or into your ground blind and practice taking realistic

NASCAR K&N Pro Series

The FLW Tour’s Forrest Wood Cup ended last weekend with two of our very own South Carolina natives in the top five. The Forrest Wood Cup is the tour’s highest payout of the year and was held on Lake Murray in Columbia, SC from August 14th through August 17th. Anthony Gagliardi from Prosperity, SC finished first overall and Casey Ashley from Donalds, SC finished a strong fourth with only 11 ounces separating them. Gagliardi’s victory was a photo finish with only one ounce separating him from second place and securing his $500,000 prize, a much needed win after a rocky start to the season. Ashley made it into the final round with a weight of 36-07 and finished with a total weight for the tournament of 50-07. This marks his 13th Top 10 finish in his career and brings his career winnings total up to $230,339. Gagliardi entered the final round in third place with a weight of 37-04. His final winning weight of 51-02 beat out Alabama’s Scott Canterbury who finished with a final weight of 51-01. This brings his Top 10 finish career total up to 21 and his career earnings up to $1,868,557. This win was a booster for his season which only includes one other tournament where he placed in the single digits. The next event in our area will be the Walmart Bass Fishing League tournament on Clarks Hill Lake hosted by the Columbia County Board of Commissioners and Walmart Store #3570 in Evans, GA. This event is open to all anglers for a $300 entry fee for boaters and a $150 fee for coanglers. Top winners in the BFL tournaments can move up to the Rayovac FLW Series or even the FLW tour.

To the Editor: At the August 12th Council meeting, Councilmember Curtis posed several questions to Mayor Pro Tem Lawrence about certain actions she had taken without authorization of Council

To Take Your Multivitamins - or Not?

Since we are a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strong Council, Weak Mayorâ&#x20AC;? form of Government. Specifically, why had she had an outside auditor come in, since the City contracts with an Audit Firm, and where did the funds to pay the auditor come from? Immediately Mayor Pro Tem Lawrence became agitated and cut Mr. Curtis off saying that this needed to be discussed in Executive Session rather than in public. This was quite surprising since Mrs. Lawrence is such a proponent of transparency and until recently abhorred Executive Sessions.

Chris Larson Tuesday, August 19, 2014

Multivitamins come in an array of shapes and sizes, each touting its own health benefits and target audience. But are they really necessary? The answer is a resounding...maybe. Multivitamins are not the end all cure all that many claim to be. If you have a well balanced, nutritious diet, chances are you are getting enough vitamins and minerals to keep your body operating well. However, there are certain groups of people that can benefit from the extra nutrition of a multivitamin.

Ron Bridges

We want to hear from you. Please send comments, letters or questions to info@simpsonvillebanner.com or mail:

Athletes both young and old can benefit from the addition of a multivitamin to their diets. While they may be eating a nutritious, well balanced diet, the added stress of intense exercise can greatly increase their vitamin and mineral needs. Older people and the elderly can greatly benefit from the use of a multivitamin. As our bodies age their ability to extract the nutrients from whole foods can be greatly reduced. A multivitamin can help fill the gap between what is eaten and what is absorbed. People with poor diets, low calorie diets, and other specialty diets can often benefit from a multivitamin. It is very difficult to achieve proper nutrition when dietary restrictions limit the variety of whole foods in your diet. While some groups of people can greatly benefit from a multivitamin, what about the average person? A well balanced, nutritious whole food diet is the best way to get your vitamins and minerals, but we can all use a little help now and again.

Just Thread It. Beth Kelley Fann | beth@simpsonvillebanner.com Monday, August 18, 2014 It was threading the machine that stopped me. I would take one look at all of the loops and slots and spinning parts, and move on to another creative endeavor. If you have a sewing machine sitting unused in your house, you know what I am talking about. You may have inherited it. You may have purchased it after being romanced by beautiful fabrics and twirly skirts, or intimidated by the price tag on boutique clothes. There it sits. Perhaps with brand new snips, bobbins, a pattern and maybe your grandmother’s faded tomato pin cushion. Mine sat for a year. Since I couldn’t get mentally past the threading part I had not tried. One day I found myself in an empty house however, and decided to try. I read the book, then I did the one thing my mother or grandmother didn’t have access to. I went to YouTube. Within seconds I found and watched two videos on threading. How kind these ladies were to take the time - for free - to record instructional videos and give them to the entire world! And, it worked. Absorbing their teaching, I threaded my grandmother’s singer, and grabbed an old pillowcase to stitch on.

am inspired to try something new. I continued to sew, learning ruffles and elastic, teaching myself and calling my mother for back up advice when needed. I eventually ditched formal patterns for most things, when I learned how the measurements worked and what a pant leg should look like. I taught myself French seams, to hide raw edges, and my work continued to improve. When you get ready to try, here is my advice: ask a professional to help you select something simple to start. You can go the route I did, but make sure you have a lot of free time to dedicate! The internet was an invaluable tool for getting started. However it was my mom that saved the day when I was trying to figure out some things (like what “bias tape” was, what couldn’t I find a roll to order?) If you don’t have a “phone-a-friend” like I did, check out Marietta’s Quilt & Sew on West Georgia Rd. She has classes, and all of the glorious supplies you could ever need. Know that if you’re already inspired to sew, after you learn to thread the machine it’s all fun from there. Next time you have an hour free, give it a try.

Did I do it right the first time? No. But within ten minutes I figured it out. It took maybe 45 minutes total of learning and practicing, but at the end I had a perfect row of stitches slicing through my previous zags and knots. I guided the machine forward and backward, getting a feel for the speed and movement. Immediately I tore open the dress pattern I had chosen for my daughter months earlier. The pattern was entirely too hard for a beginner, but I did not know that when I started out. I stuck with it though, even through pulled stitches and more internet research. A day later I had my first creation. This was three years ago. Despite tiny flaws in the dress it is still around! We recently passed it down to my niece. Every time the girls wear it I

Sarah Louise Griffin Fulmer Fountain Inn

Sarah Louise Griffin Fulmer of Fountain Inn, S.C., died on August 16, 2014, at the home of her son in Columbia, S.C. Born April 11, 1917, in Greenville, S.C., she was the daughter of Henry Griffin and Clara Mae Willimon. After the death of her father in 1918, and the subsequent remarriage of her mother to Julius Augustus Hughes, of Greer, S.C., she was reared in the home of her maternal grandmother, Sarah Caroline Gantt Willimon. After her graduation from Greenville High School in 1933, she was employed as a bookkeeper for Sears Roebuck and Company, Greenville, until her marriage on August 25, 1945, to James Ambrose Fulmer, Jr., D.D.S., a Fountain Inn dentist. Brought up in the Christian faith since a young age at St. Paul Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Greenville, she became an active member of Fountain Inn Presbyterian Church shortly after her marriage. Louise was a longtime member of the Ruth Cox Curry Sunday School Class, and for many years she was active with the Women of the Church for which she was a recipient of the Presbyterian Women Honorary Lifetime Award and was later named an Elder Emeritus in recognition of her faithful service on the Session.
