Diamond Brand Outfitters/Southeastern Fitness and Rehabilitation-Foot Clinic a Success!
The survey is complete, the Foot Clinic was rated a success by all parties. The Diamond Brand(DBO) and Southeastern Fitness and Rehabilitation(SEFR) and the CMC attendees alike were satisfied with the exchange of information about feet and ankles. Please help thank both DBO and SEFR for graciously making this possible! Please read below several comments:
Gerry McNabb
A group of some 15 to 20 CMCers began gathering around a table with a cheese and veggie plate, another dish with ham biscuits, plus another of brownies, and there were beverages as well. The group had arrived for a foot and ankle clinic put on by Diamond Brand Outdoor Store in Arden and Southeaster Sports and Fitness of Skyland.
Substituting for Don Walton, Gerry McNabb, VP, welcomed the group and introduced David Burns, Diamond Brand’s foot specialist to begin the clinic. A representative from the sports center discussed the complexity of the foot and ankle. He called attention to the 30-some muscles from the knee down that help the foot do what it does. He stressed the importance of ankle strength to keep the foot from turning out and thereby stretching the ligaments, which are slow in healing and may never completely recover their original condition.
We were given a sheet with various ankle exercises design to strengthen the ankle. This is important, they stressed because we rely on the ankle for balance. The speaker described walking as a continuing out-of-balance condition, first on one foot, then the other. When we walk, we are mostly supported by only one foot. Therefore balance is very important to the walker. It was explained that a walking stick can greatly help in this balancing process we call walking. Balance becomes even more important when we walk on uneven terrain, such as we find on our trails around here.
Then Dave spoke on the importance of a good boot and the equally important insole. He said a good tight fitting boot and support is important for stabilizing the foot and limiting the time it is pronated in the walking process. Shoes should be laced tightly, he said, Diamond Brand carries only superior boots designed specifically for the rugged walking conditions that CMCers encounter. Several door prizes were distributed after the meeting and everyone got a certificate good for $5 off a pair of shoes on their next visit.
Some said it was a lot more interesting then they had expected it to be. It was hoped that other workshops could be organized for the future.
Dave Wetmore
There were 14 CMC members at the foot/ankle clinic at Diamond Brand. We had two very good presentations by Wes Miller from Southeastern Fitness & Rehabilitation who talked about exercises useful to prevent, delay, or correct foot and ankle problems. David Burns, from Diamond Brand then talked about the mechanics of walking and the role of boots and footbeds in dealing with foot/ankle problems. It was a very enjoyable two hours. Excellent presentations by two experts, lots of questions after the talks, good company and good food.
Matt McLean
There was about 20 minutes of socializing and eating/drinking before the talks began. Jerry McNabb then formally introduced the Club to the representatives of both Southeastern Fitness and Rehab (SEFR) and Diamond Brand Outfitters (DBO). David Burns (Footwear Specialist at DBO) thanked everyone for coming, thanked CMC for all the work that they do, and spoke about the history and mission statement of DBO. The buck was passed to Matt McLean (Marketing Director at SEFR) as he gave a quick introduction to SEFR and the first speaker, Wes Miller. Wes Miller, PT, spoke about the importance of having a dynamically stable ankle on the pavement and on the trail. Wes was very interactive with the audience (group of about 15) and personally demonstrated some of the exercises for ankle strengthening/stability. We (Wes, David, and myself) collectively answered about 15 minutes of questions following Wes's talk (which lasted between 15-20 minutes). The questions brought up discussions such as "How often do I do these exercises? What exercises are good for specific injuries? Does ankle bracing help and when do I use it? Do hip, knee, and ankle pain relate to foot biomechanics? (yes)" David Burn finished up the evening with a thorough discussion on the importance of a solid insole/footbed in your shoe. The shoe is only as solid as the footbed your foot rests in.
Overall, the discussion was to the point and very interactive. The response from the audience was that it was time well spent and extremely applicable. Both speakers did a great job. I would also like to mention that there was almost $300 worth of merchandise and gift certificates given away by both SEFR and DBO. Thanks to everyone that participated and we will be doing this again!

Mountain Trails: "A Late Summer Breeze"
After many days of procrastination, here is another piece on our grand mountain backyard. *It's late summer with Charlie, Jorge and me "Buccaneering" north on the MST (BRP 427) from Haywood Gap over to Rough Bald Gap Overlook. This sunny, blue sky day is one of those perfect times where one can see forever without the smog and haze that is usually carried east from the Ohio Valley and the coal burning power plants of big TVA nestled west of us. This will be a two mile plus hike looking for summer blow downs and minor trail repair. This morning, Charlie will hang back and tackle some serious tread repair while Jorge and I hike on ahead. On the east side of the ridge, the sun begins to climb rapidly, warming up the forest and chasing the morning's dark shadows from the groves of chestnut oak and hemlock. We move easily along this section of trail despite its exposed roots, rock and narrow tread. Sticking to our task, we remove several troublesome trees during the hike. No other hikers are on the trail enjoying this beautiful day and it seems as if we are the only people passing through this quiet woods hanging up in the air around four thousand feet. Before we even expect it, the morning passes and we are at the trail junction to Rough Bald Overlook. After a brief lunch, Jorge returns to pick up the truck and I have close to an hour to scout the access trail out to the BRP and Overlook. Leaving the heavy chainsaw and packs at the junction, I saunter out to the BRP and seeing that the path is clear, I return to the trail junction. At this point the BRP (and MST) begin to climb toward Mount Hardy about three miles north. Below is the township of Balsam and the much larger city of Waynesville. The cool shade of the pines and hemlock allow me to sit in this theatre of natural silence, the only sound is the soft whine of automobiles on the BRP and the early afternoon breeze beginning to lift up from the valleys below. The soft wind brings the smell of mowed fields and cut backyard grass mingled in with the deep and damp smells of the mountain forest. The August sun is high now and the dark shadows have returned to the woods, except for small islands of bright sunlight on the ground. The breeze quickens and from the south bound trail a small yellow butterfly zigzags its way caressing the late summer weed- flowers looking for a timely lunch. I watch this silky fly dart about as it passes me and sails up on the rising wind and disappears down the trail to Mt. Hardy. What a place to live. You guys take care out there. J * Charlie Hamberger, Jorge Munoz: two outstanding trail volunteers with who I have the pleasure to hike and work in these mountains. John Soldati

Map Reading Course-CMC Education Committee
In early April the CMC Education Committee plans to have a map-reading course. Right now the plan is to have breakfast some Saturday in southwest Asheville and then spend 4-5 hours on the trail, learning how to interpret and use topographic maps. We are hoping to have one instructor for each 4-5 participants.
This is just a heads-up, more specific information will be forthcoming. By the way, we need all the knowledgeable map readers we can get for instructors. If you’d like to help, let Dave Wetmore know at dwetmore@citcom.net . Dave
Road Settlement Bill
ASHEVILLE - As his tenure in the U.S. Senate ends, Sen. John Edwards has introduced legislation to settle the long- disputed North Shore Road controversy. But even bill supporters say there's virtually no chance it will go anywhere before the end of this congressional session. The Edwards bill calls for the government to compensate Swain County for a road that was promised in the 1940s but never built. A cash settlement would be made instead of building a highway through a remote section of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The bill doesn't name a cash amount but says the government should compensate the county "in an amount to be determined by the parties to the agreement." Nicknamed the "Road to Nowhere," the government promised to build the road to replace N.C. 288, which was flooded during construction of the Fontana Dam. A section of the road was built, but the project was never completed because of environmental concerns and cost. Environmental groups fear the effects of road construction on the national park. But others pushing for the road say it could bring money to Swain County and would provide access to old family cemeteries for those forced to leave their homes when the dam was built. The National Park Service has been studying the issue and plans another series of meetings in February and March. Through the last round of meetings on the road, 88 percent of the comments submitted favored a settlement. Swain County commissioners and N.C. Gov. Mike Easley have also supported the settlement. But with time running out in this session, settlement supporters say the bill doesn't have a realistic chance of passing. "The most we could hope for would be that it could pass the Senate assuming they do this one-day session," said Ted Snyder, a Sierra Club member who supports the settlement. "I sort of doubt that there's time even to do that." Snyder said Edwards' move does make it easier to get the bill reintroduced in the next session of Congress. But getting the legislation passed will be an uphill battle. U.S. Rep. Charles Taylor, R-Brevard, supports building a road. So does Richard Burr, the Republican replacing Edwards in the Senate. Brian Nick, a spokesman for Sen. Elizabeth Dole said, "Sen. Dole doesn't plan on supporting Sen. Edwards' legislation." Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander does support a cash settlement and strongly opposes the road but didn't co- sponsor the Edwards bill. Road supporter Linda Hogue called Edwards introduction of the bill a shame. "John Edwards is gone. I don't see why he thought it was his place to try to get something started when he is not going to be there," Hogue said.

Meeting of the Task Force on AT/MST Maintenance Organization (Reorganization Task Force) November 23, 2004 – NC Arboretum
Members present: Piet Bodenhorst (Chairman), Lenny Bernstein, Alan Frank, Howard McDonald, Gerry McNabb, Bill Newton, and Don Walton
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 12:05 p.m.
Organization of the CMC Council
In past discussions, the question of how maintenance activities should be represented on the CMC Council had expanded into a discussion of the organization of the CMC Council. This led to the development of three proposed organization for the Council, one from Piet Bodenhorst, one from Lenny Bernstein, and one from Don Walton. It was agreed that it was beyond the scope of this Task Force to make a recommendation on the organization of the CMC Council, and that it should simply forward the three proposals to the Task Force on Bylaws Revision that is planned to be formed in January.
Pisgah Ranger District Request for Trail Assessment
Bill Newton reported that the Pisgah Ranger District has requested that CMC and the 5 other clubs that do trail maintenance in their area of the Pisgah National Forest conduct an assessment of the trails they maintain. He expressed uncertainty about the use this information will be put to and expressed concerns that they might soon be making more request for maintenance from CMC. Don Walton was less concerned and characterized the request as the Ranger District’s response to criticism that to has not communicated sufficiently with the volunteers doing maintenance. He said that CMC already had the information the Ranger District wanted in its trail maintenance data base and that he had been asked to work with other clubs to get them to provide information for the data base.
Piet Bodenhorst added that we need to set up a meeting with the Appalachian Ranger District in Burnsville, since we had essentially no communication with them over trial maintenance.
Trail Crew for the Waynesville Area
Alan Frank has agreed to be the Leader of a new trail crew for the Waynesville area. He was asked to work with Stan Smith to get volunteers for this crew. It was pointed out that for the present the crew might not be sufficient work for the crew to go our weekly, and that since much of the trail they would be maintaining is accessible only from the Blue Ridge Parkway, it might be a seasonal activity.
Maintenance Related Issues on the Education and Training Committee
Piet Bodenhorst expressed concern that maintenance activities were not adequately represented on the Education and Training Committee. Don Walton explained that John Soldati had been appointed to the Committee expressly to represent trail crew concerns and that all four members of the committee were involved in maintenance, at least as section maintainers. It was agreed that the Task Force should recommend that the Education and Training Committee develop a program to train section maintainers. It was also agreed that there should be training on the use of the trail maintenance data base.
Use of the Trail Maintenance Data Base for Logging and Selecting Work
The trail maintenance data base can be used to send messages to specified groups of maintainers or to help in developing priorities for trail work. These capabilities are currently not being used. Don Walton suggested that we develop a process for setting priorities and use the data base’s capabilities in that process.
Enforcement of Chainsaw Certification Requirements
Our agreements with the Forest Service require that chain saw operators be certified in chain saw operation and that they have first aid and CPR training. The Asheville Section currently requires all trail crew members fill out a form once a year which includes information on their certifications. Individual crew members are required to keep their certifications up-to-date. Other trail crews also need to do this, but there may be other ways of accomplishing this goal. The Education and Training Committee has developed a centralized data base recording sawyer certifications and their expiration dates which could be used as a basis for notifying sawyers when they need training. Currently 60% of chain saw operators do not have all of their required certifications.
Don Walton moved that the Task Force recommend that the CMC Council adopt a policy requiring all chain saw operators be up-to-date on all required certification or not be allowed to use chain saws as part of a CMC trail crew. Also, if the policy was adopted it be communicated to all trail crew members in a letter from the Council. Don’s motion was approved unanimously.
Policy on Participation in Maintenance Activities by Non-members of CMC
Currently some section maintainers and trail crew members are not a member of CMC. Don Walton reported that he has been requiring CMC membership for new MST Section maintainers. He proposed that all existing section maintainers who are not members of CMC be given a year’s free membership and then required to join the Club. This proposal will be put before the CMC Council at its next meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted, Lenny Bernstein

Together we Read
The CMC offered a hike to Horace Kephart’s last campsite as our contribution to
the Together we Read program. Then we went to visit his grave in Bryson City.
There was a great article about the CMC in A-C-T on the Friday before the hike.
Only two people came as a result of the publicity.
Wilderness First Aid Course
CMC sponsored a Wilderness First Aid course on November 13-14. 23 members took
the course which was well received. The committee will discuss what we will do
in the future about offering WFA.
Greater Smoky Mountain Coalition
Danny represented CMC at the fall meeting of the Greater Smoky Mountain
Coalition in Knoxville. This coalition, headed by the National Park Conservation
Association, consists of outdoor and environmental groups concerned about the
Smokies. A representative of the GSMNP updated us on the Smokies issues
including:
1. The fate of the Elkmont houses – Should they be torn down or restored?
2. Cades Cove – How to deal with the two million people who drive around the
Cades Cove loop.
3. U.S. 321 – There is a proposal to widen the road from Cosby towards
Gatlinburg which will affect the park.
4. The (everpresent) North Shore Road issues – four of the five Swain County
Commissioners attended.
Future activities
Foot and ankles at Diamond Brand – Nov. 30
Hike Leaders appreciation and training meeting – February 11, 2005. All leaders who led a hike in 2004 will be invited.

Challenge Committee Annual Report
Date: 28 November 2004 To: Carolina Mountain Club Council: Since the last annual report we have 4 new South Beyond 6000 members and 5 new Pisgah 400 members. The SB6K growth is within the usual annual increase. The new P400 members are all veteran hikers or maintainers who have grandfathered many trails. I have heard of a number of people who are working for the P400 award, but it is too soon to tell how popular the program will be. There are now 143 SB6K members and 7 P400 members. A copy of the database for both awards has been sent to the Membership Chairman. In last year’s report we spoke of the uncertainty of our continued access to the summits of Lyn Lowry and Plott Balsam. Although we do not foresee making any changes in the peak list unless they are forced upon us, we have found two additional qualifying peaks on public lands. They are West Point on Mt. Le Conte and an unnamed knob between Blackstock Knob and Potato Knob. Both qualify by the 200–foot elevation change criterion. We are continuing to refine our section of the CMC Web site. A history sec¬tion has been added and we are modifying the route descriptions so as to incorporate the CMC hike database. The idea is to present routes to the vicinity of the summit by reference to the hike database and then include, when necessary, a detailed description of the off-trail portion of the hike. This modification has been completed for the peaks in the Shining Rock area. Dave Wetmore Chairman
Smokies Sets Next Round of North Shore Road Meetings
Managers at Great Smoky Mountains National Park have set the next round of five meetings for February-March 2005 to discuss the future of the proposed North Shore Road through the Swain County, NC portion of the Park. The upcoming meetings are the next milestone in the Park's development of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement which is due out by the fall of 2005. Since the last series of public workshops in February and March 2004 a team of specialists have completed extensive surveys and studies to identify the natural or cultural resources that might be affected by one or more of the five alternative actions being considered. At the next meetings set for February/March 2005 the Park and its consultants will present an impact analysis of each alternative along with the estimated economic impacts and construction costs of each action.
Park Superintendent Dale Ditmanson said, "We are now at the point in the decision-making process where we can compare the pros and cons of each of various actions based upon concrete and factual information. So, we are looking forward to having an informed discussion of the action alternatives."The five alternatives which the Park is evaluating as possible resolutions of the 1943 Agreement include: 1) No Action (i.e., no road - no resolution), 2) a monetary settlement agreement to replace the 1943 Agreement, 3) construction of a picnic area and exhibits near the end of the current road at Laurel Branch, 4) constructing 7 miles of new road to terminate at a recreational and educational facility along Fontana Lake at Bushnell, and 5) building 29 to 38 miles of new road along a North Shore Corridor as called for by the 1943 Agreement. National Park Service will use a combination of the resource and cost information and public input to develop a preferred alternative which will be presented for public review in the form of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). A final series of public hearings will follow the release of the DEIS. Once the DEIS is released full completion of the decision process is expected to take an additional 12 to 16 months. The upcoming meetings will be held in Bryson City, Robbinsville, and Asheville, North Carolina and in Knoxville and Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Information and comments on the North Shore Road decision process is available at: www.NorthShoreRoad.info . Written comments may be sent to: North Shore Road Project, PO Box 30185, Raleigh, NC 27622.
