Polk County continues to con-nect the dots with water line exten-

sions around the county and now plans to connect its two systems.

Construction began Dec. 1 on the outpost for The Gorge, a new canopy tour venture under development by Sara and Tim

Zipline construction underway in SaludaBell of Green River Adventures.

The Bells plan to locate a zipline outpost and parking lot for The Gorge on 1.4 acres located at the end of Honeybee Drive in Saluda, just off Hol-bert Cove Rd. The property is adjacent to 10,000 acres of game lands.

“The setting of the outpost is such an incredible view and a unique spot,” said Sara Bell. “Our goal with this entire proj-ect is that people participate in this activity and then go down-town to eat dinner or shop.”

Tryon Painters and Sculptors opens “6x6” show

Tryon Painters and Sculptors will host an opening reception for their new “6x6” show on Saturday, Jan. 12 from 5-7 p.m. “The show includes 146 pieces of original and affordable work,” said Aviva Kahn. “The pieces are mostly 2D with some 3D sprinkled in as well.” The show includes work by TPS members in watercolor, oils, acrylics, collage and tile. All of the work is for sale as a fundraiser for the organization. Pieces will be for sale on a first-come, first-serve basis. Kahn said the idea originated from a similar show held at the Rochester Contemporary Arts Center. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

The motion to go out to bid was approved by a 4-1 vote with com-missioner Ray Gasperson voting against.

Commissioner Tom Pack sug-gested going out to bids on the water line after saying engineer David Odom estimated the costs at $1,183,743.

Pack showed a map from the county’s Vision 20/20 compre-hensive plan and said the county has jumped ahead of the plan. Originally, he said, Phase I of the main trunk lines in the county were planned to be from Peniel Road to Mill Spring (along Hwy. 9). Pack said last year the board jumped ahead and did Phase II.

“I want to put it out to bid and get a firm price,” Pack said.

Commissioner chair Michael Gage asked what this water line would mean in terms of being con-nected regionally.

Pack said this would mean Asheville to Charlotte would be tied together, once Saluda corrects a flow issue to make providing water to Tryon a possibility.

“Polk County is back in a mod-erate drought situation,” Pack said. “South Carolina is either in a moderate or severe drought so I think we need to go ahead and get this in place. Lake Hartwell is also really low. It may come up in the next year or two that Polk County needs water and needs to be able to move water in the county.”

Gage added that the line would also run county water to Polk Central School, which currently

operates on a well system.“This is what the intended

course was to be,” said Gage.Gasperson said he sees the water

line as a vital link in the county and how indeed it is a part of the 20/20 vision plan, but he was concerned the public be fully aware of the commission moving forward with the line.

“My concern is I wish the agenda item would have been more specific,” said Gasperson. “I’m put in an awkward position because I support it but don’t feel comfortable right now. There was no informa-tion and citizens didn’t know to come if they wished to speak on it.”

Pack responded that the county is just going out to bids and he didn’t want the agenda item to be too restrictive in case commission-ers wanted to discuss other areas.

The agenda item stated “water-line extensions.”

Pack said Odom’s estimates are usually high and he just wants to see what the actual bid will be.

“We’re talking months before we could even break ground,” Pack said.

Odom’s estimate includes $644,000 for 28,000 linear feet of 12-inch pipe, $20,000 for a creek crossing, $36,400 for 13 fire hy-drants, $60,000 for a 24-inch under bore (under U.S. 74) and $125,000 for a booster pump station, among other less costly line items to the project. The estimate also includes a 10-percent contingency, $58,698 in engineering services, $19,566 in survey fees and $29,349 for construction administration.

• Water line(Continued From page 1)

7626

Odom estimates the timeline to include seven weeks for design, two weeks to bid and eight to 10 weeks for the approval process for a total of 15 to 17 weeks to break ground.

If the water line is completed it would mean both of Polk County’s water systems are connected. Polk County’s well system at the middle school campus is already connected to Columbus’ water system, which is connected to Tryon, which is con-nected to Saluda. Saluda receives its water from Hendersonville, which is connected to Asheville.

Polk County’s Green Creek system, which will be connected to its well system with this line, comes from the Broad River Water Authority, which gave Polk County

a main water line and rights to pull water in order to connect to the Inman-Campobello Water District.

Polk County has future plans to build a water plant on transfer station property off Hwy. 9 North,

• Water line(Continued From page 4)

between Mill Spring and Sunny View to pull water from Lake Adger, which the county owns. The county is still awaiting state approval to have a new Lake Adger watershed approved and will have

to acquire at least 1,000 customers before creating the Lake Adger water system.

It is not yet known how many customers the county could acquire with the new water line extension.

One of the next steps along the way is to seek a voluntary annexation.

Citizens of Saluda have an opportunity Monday, Jan. 14 to speak on the possibility of a vol-untary annexation of the Bell’s property during a public hear-ing at 6 p.m. The meeting will be held in the upstairs meeting room of the Saluda Library be-fore the commission’s regular meeting.

Be l l sa id initial plans for the tour include 1,100 vertical feet f rom top to bottom with eight ziplines, including four that would be more than 1,000 feet in length. She said they also plan to include three sky bridges and two freefall repels. All of the platforms included will have 180-degree views, she added.

Bell said they want to annex the property to allow for beer sales at the location, which can-not currently occur because the property is in unincorporated Polk County. Other businesses such as Saluda Mountain Jam-boree, now the Party Place and Events Center, annexed into the city for similar reasons. Giardini Gardens and Trattoria attempted to do so in Columbus in order to sell alcohol but was denied annexation.

“If you were to walk into our business in downtown Saluda you wouldn’t even know we sell beer. We don’t make it a central part of what we do there and we don’t plan to with our canopy tours either,” Bell said.

Bell said they’d also like to host the occasional event at the outpost as well.

Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden said in was in favor of the an-nexation.

“The business is beneficial to Saluda. While the annexa-

tion wouldn’t add a lot of tax revenue to the city it w o u l d a d d some. We’re n o t r e c e i v -ing any funds now because the property is outside city

limits,” Baisden said. Baisden said he anticipates

the business drawing a lot of new people to discover Saluda for the first time.

“They’ve got to come some-where to eat once they finish the tour – that [location is] close to town here. If somebody brought their kids up here to do it but they didn’t want to, they’d have somewhere to go and shop in the meantime,” he said.

No one spoke against the Bell’s expansion plans during a public hearing held Oct. 8, which determined whether or not the city would support as-

sisting as the company sought a Community Development Block Grant. The Bells expect to hear word back about that grant in the next month.

At least one neighbor how-ever has expressed concerns about plans for the business to the Bulletin.

Russell Reese, owner of property at 103 Honeybee Lane, contacted the paper because he said he and other neighbors were not provided notice of a zoning amendment, which the county made to its multiple use zoning in the fall of 2012 to cover industry such as a canopy tour.

Be l l sa id her company worked with the county’s plan-ning department and county commissioners to amend zon-ing to allow for nature-oriented non-motorized outdoor recre-ation.

Prior to this change, the county’s multiple-use zones only allowed for recreational facilities such as bowling alleys and skating rinks.

Polk County Zoning Ad-ministrator Cathy Ruth said notification to property owners was not required because the change was a text amendment that affected all multiple-use zones in the county and did not actually rezone an area.

Reese, who’s permanent residence is in Florida, said he purchased his property as a vacation home and somewhere

to spend his last years of life in what he had hoped would be a quiet area.

“Needless to say we are all going to stand a great loss as far as equity to our properties,” Reese said. “It’s a place that is peaceful and that you would want to keep forever and ever the way it is now.”

Reese said he was also con-cerned about the ability of the gravel road to handle the kind of traffic he expects the new busi-ness will bring through.

“It’s nothing but a dirt, grav-el road,” Reese said. “We don’t want the traffic on it – it’s a rural country road,” Reese said.

When the Bells purchased the property, Sara said the road was in pretty poor condition. She said ruts in the road, cre-ated by heavy rains earlier in the year, even made it difficult for a four-wheel drive to come through. She said their company would assume full responsi-bility for the condition of the road. This would include redo-ing drainage, including all the culverts under the neighbors’ driveways.

“The over arching goal here is for people to come and be able to experience the rural beauty of Polk County,” Bell said. “So our goal is not to cre-ate a theme park. This is truly a wilderness setting and we want to keep it that way.”

Messages left by the Bulle-tin in an effort to contact other property owners and residents along Honeybee Lane have not been returned.

Landrum City Council mem-bers voted Tuesday, Jan. 8 to award a contract for renovations of the city’s depot to Daniel Owens Construction.

The total project is now ex-pected to cost Landrum $357,840, with a number of alterations made to keep costs lower.

City Administrator Steve Wolo-chowicz said the effort was to get costs closer to the $300,000 bond issue the city sought to pay for the project.

“Any time you go into a con-struction project you go in wanting the best possible options. Then you see the price and reality sets in,” Wolochowicz said. “This is taxpayer money – hospitality tax money, but nonetheless tax money – so I think [the council members] are being very cautious and care-ful with how they are spending the money.”

Wolochowicz said a number of

the changes are changes in mate-rial. For example, he said they plan to use drywall inside instead of wainscoting. The original plans also included a pergola, which has been eliminated to save as much as $55,000, and a rear entrance. Elec-trical wiring will still be installed outside so the pergola could be added at a later date.

Council also voted to change out the type of windows and doors being used, is considering alterna-tive hardware and light fixtures and plans to surround air conditioning units with landscaping instead of a wall.

“The timing is good because right now construction prices are starting to go up,” Wolochowicz said. “If we waited another month the project would have likely been more costly as materials get more expensive.”

Daniel Owens said he expects to complete the project in 180 days.

Court results

by Leah Justice

Polk County Commissioners on Monday, Jan. 7 approved going out to bid on a water line extension so the Mill Spring Fire Department can have a fire hydrant.

The water line extension was one of the new board of commis-sioners’ first actions after being sworn into office in December.

During Monday’s meeting, interim county manager Marche Pittman said the plan is to run a 6-inch water line for the fire hydrant that would come from Hwy. 108. He said it is ap-proximately 840 linear feet off

the county’s 24-inch water line. Pittman also told commissioners that there could be flow issues with the fire hydrant but county engineer Dave Odom will explain the potential issues to the fire department.

Odom has estimated the water line extension at $29,150.

The timeline is estimated at one week for the design, one week to bid and six weeks for the approval process for a total of eight weeks until ground breaking.

The Mill Spring Fire Depart-ment is located near the intersec-tion of Highways 9 and 108.

Hydrant for Mill Spring fire goes out to bid

Hammond, one of Charleston’s finest sweet grass basket makers, learned this unique form of art at the age of 7 by her mother, the late Mrs. Estelle Edwards.

Enslaved West Africans brought the oldest art form of African origin to the South Carolina Lowcountry in the late 17th century.

Sweetgrass baskets – another dimension of the African experi-ence in America – vividly illustrate the beauty of a diverse culture.

This handcraft has been passed down through generations and a high concentration of basket weavers is still found near Mount Pleasant.

A few days before Thanksgiv-ing the fear that plucks at the back of the mind of seniors, a fall, result-ing in a broken hip, was realized by my mother.

Disoriented and nervous, she found herself on the assembly line of eldercare: surgery, IVs, drinking through bendy straws and taking the first tentative steps with her new life partner, an aluminum walker, assisted by physical therapists. She had her turkey dinner sitting up and, trying to keep her spirits from flagging, my sister and I have been coaxing back her memory with the pleasant task of writing Christmas cards from her hospital bed and choosing decorative stick-ers to adorn the backs of each envelope.

It’s a disconcerting time, to be sure, as middle-aged children, such as myself, begin to realize that the Christmases we’ve grown used to throughout our lives are about to change, abruptly: limited physical ability will make certain beloved and anticipated traditions no lon-ger possible and it is more than a little bewildering to consider the prospect of trying to create a lovely holiday when she was residing in another foreign room with new, unfamiliar staff, while spending several weeks in rehab.

As she also transitioned from her small independent apartment into assisted living, I felt something like relief to have something else occupy my thoughts and began packing up her things, beginning with all the belongings inside her china cabinet: silver butter dishes and gravy boats, Hungarian cor-dials, the colors of the rainbow, whimsical kangaroo and emu silver knife rests- a gift from her uncle who had worked in Australia, and the silver-plated tea caddy, a wedding gift, from more than 60 years ago.

Hearing a rattle from within, I touched open the lid of the caddy with my finger and found the in-truder to be a tiny broken monkey, bought at a Florida tourist shop

Love ever present at holidays

“I’m Just Saying…”

by Pam Stone

during one of countless family vacations in Sarasota, made of sea shells with a pursed mouth that could actually ‘smoke’ the ‘ciga-rette’ held to its lips. But nestled beneath this funny creature was the true treasure: a half-dozen, doll-sized, envelopes, as if made by the hands of fairies, each filled with folded, 2-inch letters in the tiniest hand-writing possible, from the pen of her sea captain father, Herbert Elford, written in the privacy of his cabin on the ill-fated Ceramic, which would be torpedoed 17 years later by a German U-boat on

Dec. 7, and leave but one survivor, while claiming the life of my grandfather and 655 passengers, somewhere west

of the Azores.But now, looking at the Jan. 3,

1925 date he had marked at the top of the little letter, he was writing fondly to his 3-year-old daughter, before cutting and pasting a life-like envelope for it, complete with a hand-drawn postmark and a min-iature stamp, created by snipping a square from a real one:

‘Darling Joan,Are you tired of waiting for

Daddy? The ship is such a long, long, way from London. Now when you see the sun sink each night behind the land it will point to the place where Dad has gone to - the other end of the world.

You are going to write daddy a nice long letter, aren’t you, and tell him what a lovely Christmas tree you had, also all the things dear old Father Christmas sent you.’

In my mind’s eye, I could clearly see this handsome man, after whom my mother takes and described by her as “the most loving and won-derful father,” bent over his work, late at night, missing his wife, son and toddler daughter during long months at sea. To be home for Christmas was a rarity and indeed he meant to be a part of the festivi-ties of the season as he dipped his pen and scratched a story that would charm any child:


WJFJWolverine RadioCONGRATULATES THE WOLVERINES ONA SUCCESSFUL SEASON THANKS ALSO

TO OUR SPONORS OF WOLVERINE RADIOAS WELL AS RAY AND BRYAN AND ALL

OUR SPORTS BROADCAST CREW!

‘Now Joan, dear, we all talk of Father Christmas but we must not forget Mother Christmas cos if there is a Father Christmas there must be a Mother Christmas, too. Mother Christmas remains at home and puts all the things in a bag for Daddy Christmas and as she cannot climb down chimneys, she stays at home.’

The creation of his Mother Christmas came as no surprise, I thought, turning the petite page and remembering my own mother’s tales of how her father worried con-tinuously about the long stretches of loneliness for his wife, keeping, as it were, ‘the home fires burning.’ It was only natural he would be inspired to add the female element to the success of the jolly old elf.

‘They call Father Christmas William Christmas and the Mother, Mary Christmas. All the little chil-dren, cos they never see her, think it is ‘Merry Christmas,’ so next Christmas, when you get all the lovely toys you will think of good,

kind, Mary Christmas, won’t you? Who stayed at home to get all the toys ready to put in the big bag for Father Christmas to take out, and when you hear children say, “Merry Christmas!” you must say, “it is not Merry Christmas, it is Mary Christmas!”

I hope you are being such a nice good girl, cos I do want my little girl to be so very good. So mind you love your big brother, Bert, and help him with his home work every night. Give Mammy a big love for me, also for Bert, and such a great, big, love from Daddy to his darling Joan.

~ Night, Night,Daddy xooxoo

I tucked the letter back into the caddy, my soul warmed to the core. The grandfather I had never met, I couldn’t help but to feel, had led me to the realization I had missed amid the anxiety of the last several days: it doesn’t matter where you are for Christmas, it only matters with whom you spend it - even if you can’t see them.

Because love is always present.

Humane Society Special Cases

Big things and little thingsLast week, as promised, I

brought Soldier up to Dogwood Farms. When Soldier was rescued at 1 year of age he was literally chained to a stake in the ground. I can’t say for sure, but I don’t believe he’s ever had the chance to totally run free. When we let him loose in the large play yard, Soldier took off like there was no tomorrow. My heart leapt in my throat as I vi-sualized Snowy running for the first time.

I’ve never seen a dog react to love and affection as enthusiasti-cally as Soldier, so he’s learning that if he calms down he’ll still get atten-tion. Meanwhile, he has plenty of treats, his beloved tennis balls and lots of space. He’s learned that if he rolls on his back, Uncle Lennie gives tummy rubs. My good friend and supporter Dr. Robert Jones is helping me pay for his boarding and

training. Josh (bless him) always keeps my fees down to a minimum.

This week I received a call about a family who rescued Chloe, a sweet little 1-year-old Chihuahua mix. Chloe has a large growth over her left eyelid, I know the cause but it’s too lengthy to explain.

I’d learned that their vet (not lo-cal) would not accept payments for the needed operation, which

would cost $400 to $600. After try-ing to negotiate with them through the family it was deemed that Chloe would be best served if I handled it through my local vets.

I visited the family on Sunday afternoon and met Chloe for the first time. Chloe was all over me for attention while Lily, their anti-social older Chihuahua, was bark-ing furiously. I just ignored Lily




and loved up Chloe telling Lily, “I’ve dealt with a lot more tougher beasts than you. If you don’t want any of this love, so be it.”

In five minutes Lily had her paws on my legs asking for some to. I laughed as I rubbed her ears, “smart girl, honey will get you a lot more than vinegar.”

Tim and Melissa have a large fam-ily, seven children, who I was told are: yours, mine, ours and adopted. I was thoroughly impressed with this strug-gling family who simply do what’s needed to be done to get by.

There wasn’t a single complaint about life from the parents or the three older boys I’d met. All I witnessed was a deep love both for their animals and each other. They promised to help in anyway they could for Chloe was now considered a family member.

“You just take care of your family,” I replied, “and loving your pets as you do and I’ll see that Chloe is taken care of.”

I called Dr. Donna Raines at home on Sunday evening and she graciously agreed to take Chloe in the next morn-

ing.I delivered sweet Chloe at Landrum

vet early Monday morning and I’ll let you all know how things went at a future date.

Over the years my fund at FHS has held its own due to many wonderful friends who personally, and through foundations, have supported my poor abandoned kids who need help.

I keep their names private but I acknowledge each one personally to let them know how much their efforts mean to me and my kids. I will not be able to release funds from my 501(C )(3) for a while yet and I pray it will grow for major cases in the future.

The bulks of my special cases are handled by my personal funds which are not tax exempt. A few weeks ago my good friend and breakfast partner, Chuck Davis, handed me a large check which will go a long way to help Chloe and her pending procedure.

I don’t have the works to express what goes through me when folks with love and trust in their hearts say to me, “Here Lennie, this is for your kids.”

Thank you too sweet Gena, and thanks for listening.

It’s that time of year again. Time to celebrate the start of

a whole New Year. Folks have practiced this for thousands of years. For the western world, it started back in Roman times. In fact, the word January was actually derived from the word Janus. Janus was the mythical Roman god of beginnings and endings.

Today, come January, mil-lions vow to finally lose that extra weight and get in shape. Although this custom is nothing new, most don’t succeed to the degree they’d like, because they don’t have the proper plan. As the old adage goes, “people don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan.” I’m going to help you with that.

The first thing to remember is that you can succeed. I’ve had clients lose 50, 65, 72, even 108 lbs. The thing is, we first came up with the proper fitness/diet strategy. When clients first come to me, I require they keep a food journal. Even before they start recording their eating habits, I tell them that in the front of their journal, I want them to write an entire page of what it will cost them in the near and distant fu-ture in terms of health, money, relationships, self esteem and anything else they can think of, if they don’t make the health changes they need to their body.

I tell them this is the only time I want them to feel bad, but I really want them to get those feelings. Next, I want them to get out of that bad emotional state and write an entire page of what they will gain in those same areas if they make the healthy changes they should. This is often referred to as “the carrot and stick.”

Remember, everything we do in life, we do for only one of two reasons. To either gain pleasure or avoid pain. Here’s the thing though. Most people will do much more to avoid pain, than to gain pleasure. In other words, when someone smokes, for ex-ample, they choose to focus on

the pleasure they get from the cigarette. If they focused on the pain that would come later, they would probably never smoke, so by writing these two pages, you not only get it clear in your mind, what you need to do, but why you need to do it. Always remember, the “why” is even more important than the “how.”

In this column I’ve described the importance of having clear strategies for getting fit, losing

fat and making the changes you’ve really wanted and needed in your body. In my next column I’m going to show you how to make those changes.

Notationsby Bonnie Bardos

“There’s music in the sighing of a reed;

There’s music in the gushing of a rill;

There’s music in all things, if men had ears:

Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.”

~ Lord Byron One peaceful sunny afternoon

while driving the scenic back way down the mountain to Tryon, I happened to pass by a small house.

Outside, a little girl was sitting in a pile of sand, happily playing the hours away, rapt in what she was building out of hills of white. Truthfully, I nearly stopped and joined her – the little girl still in-side my heart sure wanted to! You don’t see kids outside playing often enough these days: the first reac-tion I felt seeing her playing in the sand was utter joy. How important it is for kids to be kids, to be out in nature, reveling in nothing but the freedom of play and imagination.

Remembering my own sand pile days (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth), I thought about the sheer wonder of what could be built with sand, a bucket and scoop, a few toys, the endless kingdoms possible, along with the potential of digging to China and seeing what was over there. All the de-lights of magical play outside with sunshine, birds, grass, trees, a cat or dog always hanging near, sometimes other little hands join-ing in, how time flew. Countless hours passed by, and it was always hard to leave the sand pile. Like sand at the beach, a hill of sand in the backyard is limitless with where you can venture creatively. All these years later, the fun and delight of a simple pile of sand is remembered. I wonder if there’s a spot in the backyard for a new

sand pile?Community:Get your tickets for fashion and

Four Polk girls in double figures, come up short against Averyby Fulton Hampton

Polk made the long trip to Avery still looking for it first conference win.

The Lady Wolverines played well; matching Avery point-for-point for most of the game. Howev-er, they were not able to overcome the first quarter deficit of being outscored 18- 9 eventually losing by a score of 76-63. After the initial period Polk outscored The Lady Vikings 37-36 in the second and third quarters. However, late in the fourth quarter with Polk still down 8 points they had to begin fouling to attempt to make up the deficit. Avery hit their free throws down the stretch that made it a somewhat misleading final score.

“We played one of our better games, (but) we were 12 of 25 from the free throw line, so that hurt us. Avery is always one of the top teams in the conference and they are again this year,” said Coach Craig Culbreth. “We were only down by

eight with a minute to go so we had to foul and ended up losing by 13.”

Polk had four players in double figures led by Haley Kropp with 20 points, 10 rebounds, five steals and two assists. Katie Ruff and Savannah Deaver did a good job on the boards with eight and seven rebounds respectively. The Lady Wolverines did suffer from high turnovers totaling 24 for the game, compared to 10 for Avery.

Avery was led by Lauren Bur-leson with 21 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and two 3-point shots and also had three other players in double figures as well.

Polk is now 6-8 overall and 0-4 in conference. Their next game is tonight at Thomas Jefferson.

Polk boys basketball fall behind early, lose to Avery 73-52by Fulton Hampton

The Wolverines were hoping to follow up their first conference win versus Mitchell with another against Avery County. It was obvi-ous from the beginning the Vikings had other ideas, as they came out focused and outscored the Wolver-ines early.

At one point in the second quarter Polk was down 20-5 and,

although they played better the rest of the game, the end result was a 73-52 loss.

Coach Josh McEntire had high praise for Avery.

“They just outplayed us in every phase of the game, they had 10 kids that all came out and did their job; the executed their game plan, they played hard and took it to us for four quarters,” McEntire said.

McEntire once again empha-sized the need for consistent team play particularly on the defensive end of the floor.

“If one or two people are not doing their job ... we are going to (continue) to give up easy baskets,” he said.

as Jefferson The Wolverines will take on

the Gryphons of Thomas Jefferson once again away from home. They have the same 1-3 conference re-cord as Polk having beat Mitchell as well. It should be a close contest.

“They have a new coach and a good nucleus of guards coming back that can handle the ball and they play really hard,” McEntire said. “It’s on the road and it’s a tough gym to play in because it is very small, the goals are different etc.”

When asked about the Gry-phons style of play McEntire was adamant the Wolverines have to focus on playing their game.

“We’ve got to come ready to play. I’m worrying about how we execute and what we do; playing defense the way we need to play. If we will worry about us good things will happen,” McEntire said.

Record: Polk, 5-9, 1-3 WHC.

Q. Is there a way I can tell my children some personal things outside of my estate plan?A. Yes, we have had clients be very creative in the ways they choose to communi-cate with their loved ones after they are gone. My own uncle left a very touching and inspirational letter to each of his sons. I have had clients leave detailed let-ters outlining their wishes for future generations, their values and philosophy of life. Several have even vid-eotaped their messages to children and grandchildren. Many of these messages have been quite well done and much appreciated by the recipients.

Dear Savvy Senior,I just turned 50 and would like

to know what resources you recom-mend for locating senior discounts.

~ Love To SaveDear Love,One of the great perks of grow-

ing older in the U.S. is the many discounts that are available to boomers and seniors. If you don’t mind admitting your age, here are some tips and tools to help you find them.

Always askThe first thing to know is that

not all businesses advertise them, but many give senior discounts just for asking, so don’t ever be shy to ask. You also need to know that while some discounts are available as soon as you turn 50, many others may not kick in until you turn 55, 60, 62 or 65.

Search onlineBecause senior discounts are

constantly changing and can vary greatly depending on where you live and the time of the year, the In-ternet is one of your best resources for locating them.

To get started go to SeniorDis-counts.com, a massive website that lists more than 250,000 discounts on a wide variety of products and services like airlines, car rentals, travel, recreation, local transporta-tion, shopping, restaurants, hotels, state and national parks, medical services, pharmacies, museums and more. You can search for discounts by city and state or ZIP code, or by the category you’re interested in, for free. Or, for $13 you can become a premium member and get additional, select

discounts.Another great website for lo-

cating 50-and-older discounts is Sciddy.com. Launched in 2011, this site also lets you search for free by city, state or ZIP code, as well as by business or category.

Join a clubAnother good avenue to senior

discounts is through membership organizations like AARP, which offers its 50 and older members a wide variety of discounts through affiliate businesses (see discounts.aarp.org). Annual AARP member-ship fees are $16, or less if you join for multiple years.

If, however, you’re not a fan of AARP, there are other alternative organizations you can join that also provide discounts such as The Seniors Coalition or the American Seniors Association. Or, for federal workers, there’s the National Ac-tive and Retired Federal Employ-ees Association.

Types of discountsHere’s a brief rundown of some

of the different types of discounts you can expect to find.

Supermarkets: Many locally-owned grocery stores offer senior discount programs, as do some chains like Kroger, Publix and Fry’s, which offer some discounts on certain days of the week but they vary by location. You’ll need to ask.

Retailers: Many thrift stores and certain retailers like Kohl’s, Bealls, Dressbarn and Ross Stores offer a break to seniors on a certain

day each week.Travel: Southwest Airlines

provide by far the best senior fares in the U.S. to passengers 65 and older, while Amtrak offers a 15 percent discount and Greyhound offers 5 percent off to travelers over 62. And, most hotels in the U.S. offer senior discounts, usually ranging from 10 to 30.

Car services: If you’re renting a car, most car rental companies provide discounts to customers who belong to organizations like AARP. And some Jiffy Lube and Midas service centers offer dis-counts to seniors for auto repair and maintenance.

Restaurants: Senior savings are common at restaurants and fast food establishments, ranging from free coffee, to drinks, to discounts off your total order. Chains known for their senior discounts include McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, Applebee’s, Arby’s, Chili’s and Friendly’s.

Entertainment: Most movie theaters, plays, ballets, sympho-nies, museums, zoos and aquari-ums provide reduced admission to seniors over 60 or 65. And seniors over 62 are eligible to get the “America the Beautiful – Senior Pass” for $10, which provides a lifetime of free access into all national parks and federal recre-ational lands.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit Sav-vySenior.org. Jim Miller is a con-tributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
