The mid-point section of the popular Fiery Gizzard Trail in South Cumberland State Park will soon close to hikers, thus cutt ing the 13-mile trek between Grundy Forest Trailhead and Foster Falls. Interim Park Manager George Shinn has announced that the owner of property near Raven Point, which the trail has crossed for decades, has asked for the removal of the park trail from his property by Dec. 1. “The only practical solution,” Shinn, said, “is to reroute that section of the trail into the cove. But the solution is not easy to accomplish and will signifi cantly increase the diffi culty for hikers in the future.” Similar land issues have forced TDEC (Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation) to order the closing of Raven Point Campground located along the Fiery Gizzard Trail, on Sept. 7. On August 15, Nashville’s Channel 4 broke the story after learning of issues threatening the popular trail.

Henry specialty Tiny openings strains of fl u viruses. This year’s version protects against two A 13 Cheat, in a way 40 Habit strains (H1N1 and H3N2), and one infl uenza B virus. Quadrivalent fl u shot: This vaccine, which was introduced two years ago, protects against four types of infl uenza – the same three strains as the standard fl u shot, plus an additional new B-strain virus. High-dose fl u shot: Designed specifi cally for seniors, age 65 and older, this trivalent vaccine, called the Fluzone High-Dose, has four times the amount of antigen as a regular fl u shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for bett er protection. However, note that the high-dose option may also be more likely to cause side eff ects, including headache, muscle aches and fever. FluBlok vaccine: Created for adults 18 and older who have egg allergies, this is a trivalent fl u vaccine that does not use chicken eggs in its manufacturing process. Intradermal fl u shot: For those who don’t like needles, the intradermal fl u shot uses a tiny 1/16-inch long micro-needle to inject the vaccine just under the skin, rather than deeper in the muscle like standard fl u shots. This trivalent vaccine, however, is recommended only to adults, ages 18 to 64. To locate a vaccination site that off ers these fl u shots, visit vaccines.gov and type in your ZIP code. You’ll also be happy to know that if you’re a Medicare benefi ciary, Part B will cover 100 percent of the costs of any fl u shot, as long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays. Private health insurers are also required to cover standard fl u shots, however, you’ll need to check with your provider to see if they cover the other vaccination options. Pneumonia Vaccines Two other important vaccinations the CDC recommends to seniors, especially this time of year, are the pneumococcal vaccines for pneumonia. Around 1 million Americans are hospitalized with pneumonia each year, and about 50,000 people die from it. The CDC is now recommending that all seniors, 65 or older, get two vaccinations –Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23. Both vaccines, which are administered just once at diff erent times, work in diff erent ways to provide maximum protection.
