WAYNESVILLE — A Haywood Coun­ty jury has found two people guilty of methamphetamine trafficking.

Lee Kirk Burgess, 48, of Mount Ulla, and Anthony Jasper Osmond Tolliver, 31, of York, South Carolina, each were sen­tenced by Superior Court Judge Mark E. Powell to 70 months to 93 months in the North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections, according to anews release from District Attorney Ashley Welch.

Each defendant was also assessed a $50,000 fine.

The street value of meth seized in the case was around $5,000, Welch said.

The two were traveling on Interstate 40 with a third person, Levi Esh, on Jan. 24,2014, when they were pulled over for a minor traffic violation, according to

Assistant District Attorney Jeff Jones said. After a trooper smelled marijuana, a consent search revealed methamphet­amine in various pieces of luggage, along with numerous glass pipes, digital scales, and misdemeanor amounts of marijuana, Jones said.

Esh, 35, of Statesville, pleaded guilty prior to trial.

Burgess and Esh admitted to their share of the meth, but Tolliver did not, Jones said. Keys in one bag belonging to Tolliver fit a lock on a green metal box in a second bag, which tied Tolliver to its con­tents, including a crystal-like substance.

Testimony from Special Agent Mi­chael Piwowar, a forensic chemist with the State Crime Lab, established the crys­talline substance contained in that green metal box was about 2 ounces of metham­phetamine, Jones said. More than 3.5 ounces of meth were found overall.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency J Announces a Public Meeting and Public Comment for I I the CTS of Asheville, Inc., Superfund Site located in

Asheville, North Carolina The United States Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) has issued an Interim Proposed Plan for the CTS of Asheville, Inc., Superfund Site located in Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. A public meeting to present the details of the Interim Proposed Plan will be held on Tuesday, October 13, 2015, from 6:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. at the T.C. Roberson High School auditorium located at 250 Overlook Road in Asheville. EPA is conducting a 30-day public comment period from October 1, 2015 to October 30, 2015, to seek public input on the Interim Proposed Plan. During the comment period, the public is encouraged to review and offer comments on all site-related documents. You can find these documents on line at http://semspub.epa.gov/src/collection/04/AR63944. CTS manufactured electronic components used in auto parts and hearing aids from 1959 to April 1986 when plant operations ceased. Small electronic components were electroplated with tin, nickel, zinc and silver as one step in the process. Solvents, including TCE were used to clean, or degrease, the parts before electroplating. Disposal and/or recycling activities at the facility prior to 1959 are unknown. From 1959 to 1980, metal-bearing rinse waters and alkaline cleaners that could not be reclaimed from the electroplating process were reportedly disposed of through the municipal sewer system, while concentrated metals and solvent wastes were placed in drums for off-site disposal/recycling. After 1980, wastes were accumulated in drums on-site prior to off-site disposal/recycling. Numerous environmental investigations have been conducted at the CTS site since the late 1980s. The Site was proposed to the National Priorities List (NFL) in March 2011, and became Final on the NFL in March 2012. EFA's has selected Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH), as the preferred alternative to address the NAPL/TCE source area. ERH was the most aggressive and effective source control remedy evaluated in the Focused Feasibility Study (FFS). ERH provides the highest level of certainty to meet the RAO, as the technology has demonstrated greater than 95% TCE removal efficiencies. ERH can be implemented in the least amount of time, and provides the greatest long-term permanence. Although ERH has a slightly higher total cost, it is a one-time source control and treatment event with no longer term operation and maintenance costs. Written comments on the Interim Proposed Flan should be postmarked/submitted no later than October 30, 2015, to Craig Zeller, EPA Remedial Project Manager, US-EPA Region 4, Superfund Division, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, or via email zeller.craig@epa.gov. For further information please contact Angela Miller, EPA Community Involvement Coordinator (678) 575-8132 or via email miller, angela@epa.gov.

Wearing Adult Diapers or Padded Underwear

is No Longer Necessary According to Dr. Seipel, Leaking, Squirming, Squeezing, and Embarrassing Odors...Even Accidents Can Now be a Thing of the Past!

NEW YORK, NEW YORK — If life isn't hard enough, now you have to worry about making it to the bathroom in time. The feeling of your bladder bursting and the down right panic of "not making it" in time can be absolutely over-whelming.

God forbid you have to laugh, cough or sneeze at the "wrong" time and when did you start to become scared to take a big sip of tea, coffee or water?

You're not alone in your battle to control your bladder. According to The National Institute of Health, as many as 33 million Americans are affected by bladder control issues described above.

The Family Secret Even the Family Doesn't Know

"Most people who have overactive bladders choose to keep their problem a secret," says Dr. Tracey Seipel, a long­time clinician who is one of the world's leading experts in natural urological health care.

"They don't even tell their spouse or families about it. It affects their lives in every way, influencing where they go, and even what they will wear in case they have an accident."

"Black is the color of choice," says Dr. Seipel, "as it can hide evidence of public accidents."

A 100% natural, drug-free solution developed by Dr. Seipel is now available in a remarkable, fast-acting natural formula called Bladder Control.

This sophisticated herbal compound has been shown in clinical studies to improve bladder control with reductions in bladder frequency, nocturia (having to urinate at night), urgency, and bladder discomfort, sometimes in as little as two weeks.

No More Running to the Toilet Since its introduction in Australia, more

than 25,0(X) people have successfully used the Bladder Control formula.

Dr. Seipel's formula has made a believer out of 45-year-old, mother of three. Brandy W., from Brisbane, Australia.

"I had a high bladder frequency as a child," says Brandy, "but my frequency really worsened after the birth of my first child."

A friend who was aware of Brandy's condition told her about Dr. Seipel's formula. "After two weeks, I had already noticed changes," smiles Brandy."

"I was finding that although I felt I needed to urinate, I wasn't desperate to run to the toilet. Now, when I get up in the morning," she adds, "I'm able to make the coffee and even have a cup before needing to go, which is a great improvement!"

Dr. Ih^cey Seipel: Naturopath, Clinical Nutritionist, Herbalist & Diabetes Educator

How Does It Work? "Bladder Control helps aging bladders feel

and function years younger by revitalizing bladder tone and function, and by helping improve kidney health," says Dr. Seipel.

"Bladder Control promotes normal urinary frequency, and reduces urgency, nocturia and those embarrassing, away-from-home bladder accidents," adds Dr. Seipel.

"The compound invigorates the tone of the bladder wall, restoring a healthy level of firmness by enhancing the bladder's muscular elasticity. This reduces the frequent urge to urinate," explains Dr. Seipel.

Positive Clinical THals This natural, drug-ftee Bladder Control

formula has performed well in clinical studies. In one early controlled, randomized trial,

participants saw results in as httle as two weeks. But the best was yet to come.

Two weeks later, participants shocked study observers by reporting an astounding 88% improvement in their quality of life.

Thirty days later, every study participant, 100% of them, reported that their quality of life had improved markedly.

Results like these are not surprising to Dr. Seipel who single-handedly pioneered the bladder care category in the early 2000's, receiving an award from the prestigious US Nutrition Business Journal for her work.

Her patent-pending formula consisting of select, synergistically paired botanicals like Crateva nurvala, Equisetum arvense and Lindera aggregata, was 15 years in the making.

Dr. Seipel searched for an effective, alternative treatment to prescription drugs.

'Those medications can cause memory loss and have a distressing drying effect on the body.

Store shelves are overflowing with adult diapers and absorbent underwear

causing blurred vision, constipation, dry mouth, nausea, and other side effects," says Dr. Seipel.

Adios to Adult Diapers "Overactive bladder syndrome and/or urinary

incontinence are widespread problems," says Dr. Seipel. Many of these individuals wear adult diapers.

Insiders in the adult diaper industry are keeping a close eye on Dr. Seipel's bladder support breakthrough because of people like 78-year-old retired teacher, Glenda B. from Gold Coast, Australia.

Glenda wore adult diapers every day to guard against accidents.

"My bladder capacity was good but the leakage and accidents would occur a few times a day without warning. So, I wore them every day," confesses Glenda.

Since Glenda discovered Dr. Seipel's Bladder Control formula, you won't find her shopping in the adult diaper section of the store anymore.

"After only 10 days on Bladder Control, I stopped wearing my diapers. Now, I am managing very well, thank you," says Glenda. According to Euromonitor International, a respected market research firm, the size of the adult diaper market in the U.S. was approximately $1.4 Billion in 2012.

Prostate or Bladder? Hard to Tell

Many men confuse the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome with prostate woes.

Dr. Seipel explains, "Prostate enlargement restricts urine flow. The bladder compensates for this by trying harder and harder to push the urine out."

'This causes structural changes to the bladder," adds Dr. Seipel, "Causing bladder walls to thicken and lose elasticity." As bladder pressure increases, so does instances of urinary frequency and urgency. Long after a man's prostate woes are relieved, he may still experience the same symptoms thanks to his now-overactive bladder.

His-and-Her Results "Because male and female bladders, other

than size, are identical," says Dr. Seipel, "the formula works equally well for both men and women".

"It's a his-and-her formula," she smiles. David M., age 46, can attest to this. "I was having to go to the toilet every hour or so and I had to go to the toilet at least four times per night."

Four weeks after starting Bladder Control, David says, "My trips to the toilet have definitely reduced and I'm having much better sleep, getting up maybe once a night."

If you're ready to put an end to your go-now urination urges, to those frantic trips to the bathroom, and if you are looking for the confidence and security that a healthy bladder can bring to your life, here's your risk-free opportunity.
