It’s easy to say one vote won’t count. After all, one vote really can’t make much of a difference when nearly 150 million votes will be cast for this year’s presidential election. But if you think of your vote as one within a group of like-minded voters, say a few million truck drivers,

then suddenly your one vote has much more power. Power to influence, power to make change. Voting is a unique act that can be both profoundly personal and overt-ly public. The information, rhetoric and opinions – whether we want to hear them or not – that bombard us before the election can be over-whelming. Twenty-four-hour news cycles on radio and TV don’t let up. There are demonstrations, rallies, conventions, commercials – all lauding the value of two different drummers. Yet once we’re finally alone in the voting booth, it becomes a solitary right to choose. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy said, “Our privileges can be no greater than our obligations. The protection of our rights can endure no longer than the performance of our responsibilities. Each can be neglect-ed only at the peril of the other.” Voting is certainly a privilege and our country’s foundation is based on the right to elect our leaders but it’s also our responsibility to cast that vote knowledgably. As Kennedy went on to say, “The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.” In our story on the importance of voting (Page 34), I hope we give you a primer on some of the issues facing the trucking industry and at least get you started on finding the candidates that represent your interests and ideals. If we vote with knowledge I think our country will have a better future. Another story that gives proof to the success of our form of govern-ment is on conspiracy theories (Page 18). Where else can a citizen safely and openly accuse his or her own government of covering up a UFO crash or fabricating trips to the moon? An extreme example of democracy in action, maybe, but it has provided us with a number of interesting speculations that just won’t go away. The truth is out there, somewhere. Speaking of freedom of speech, Trace Adkins (Page 26) let his thoughts be known a few years back when he published a blunt manifesto called “A Personal Stand” that addresses everything from politics to organized labor to fame. With a television show, a hosting gig for the American Country Awards and a new album due to be released, we catch up and see how life is treating country’s multimedia star. Safe driving.

CB Usage In your 2012 August issue I read about a veteran driver being upset about others not using the CB as much as he has been accustomed to over the years. I would like to offer a possibility. First I would like to ask this question. How many of us like to drive down the highway and see all of the trash clutter? With this, how many of us like the trash that comes over the CB radio? God wants us to be caretakers of our home while we are here. I would also venture to say, He wants us to be caretak-ers of the airwaves.

I get sick and tired of not just men, but women also, who spread their garbage on the CB. Seems to me like instead of throw-ing the breath that God gave us back in His face with a curse attached, among so much trash, we would try to keep it clean. For this reason my radio stays off most of the time. Bluebird.

App Report Card for Teen Driving

Superstitions are fun and all, but where do they come from? Why is putting a hat on a bed or shoes on a table bad luck? And how did black cats get such a bad repu-tation anyway? It takes years for superstitions to form and you’d be surprised at the origin of some of them. We took a deeper look at a few I’m sure you’ve tried to avoid over the years.

Breaking a mirror This superstition stems from the idea that a reflection in a mirror reflects your body as well as your soul. So breaking a mirror can also dam-age your soul. Seven years of bad luck stems from the ancient Roman belief that the body and soul rejuvenate every seven years. The idea of bad luck from a broken mirror also has its roots in how expensive the first glass mirrors were to produce. Breaking a mirror meant be-coming a servant to the owner for seven years. That’s really following the rule you break it, it you buy it!

Being crossed By a Black cat The origin of a black cat crossing your path bringing bad luck dates back to the Middle Ages. Christians believed that a black cat meant a witch was nearby. It was also believed demons took the shape of a black cat and cut you off from heaven. Another reason to avoid raven felines: The Dutch say that they are terrible gossips, spreading rumors all over town.

Holding your BreatH wHile crossing a cemetery Here’s one that’s sure to steal your breath: While pass-ing a cemetery, every breath you take will breathe new life into a spirit resting there. The spirits will follow you around until they possess your body. While we’re on the subject, don’t ever forget to cover your mouth while yawning. If you forget, demons and spirits can fly into your open mouth and possess you.

Picking uP a Penny tHat is face uP “Find a penny pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck.” It was said long ago that metal was a gift from the gods. A bride would put a silver sixpence in her shoe on her wedding day to ensure a blessed and successful marriage. The superstition lives on today in the penny. If you find a penny face up, you’ll have good luck. Face down, you’ll have bad luck.

walking under a ladder Aside from being good safety standards, walking under a ladder could incur God’s wrath, according to old Christian lore. Back in the good old days, hangmen used ladders to suspend nooses. Walking under a ladder would make Death himself notice you.

There’s an app for everything now-adays. Think that your teen driver is speeding like a demon when you’re not in the car? Or driving all over town with a carload of friends? Overprotective parents can now ask random strangers to give their

kid’s driving a performance evalu-ation. Howismykiddriving.com is perfect for helicopter parents. Par-ents pay to put a bumper sticker on their car with the words “How is my KID driving? Push Text my tag #.” Drivers who notice bad driv-

ing or dangerous habits can send a heads up to the parents of that teen driver. Comments, sent anony-mously, are mailed directly to the parents’ smartphones. It’s tattling in the digital age.


If you’re one for cleanliness and use antibacterial soap on a daily basis, you may want to ease up on that soapy solution to fighting germs. A new study released from the University of California-Davis found use of the chemical triclosan, which is a common ingredient in antibacterial soaps, slows muscle function. In the study, scientists exposed human heart and skeletal muscle cells to triclosan at a level consistent with daily use. An electrical stimulus was then used to force the cells to contract. Normal reaction would have the cells contracting immediately but those cells exposed to the chemical were slow out of the gate. Another study by the University of Michigan found that triclosan may also compromise the human immune system, making people more susceptible to aller-gies. Triclosan is not only found in soap, either. The chemical is also found in body washes, deodorants and toothpastes. Experts suggest checking labels for triclosan before buying products.

What happened at Roswell? Who was behind JFK’s assassination? Is Elvis alive – and is Paul Mc-Cartney dead? “Most people can’t resist

getting the details on the latest conspiracy theories, no matter how far-fetched they seem,” says prominent conspiracy theorist Jonathan Elinoff. “At the same time, many people quickly denounce any conspiracy theory as untrue – and sometimes as unpa-triotic or just plain ridiculous.” Brick Williams, a retired truck driver from Fayetteville, N.C., considers himself a realist when it comes to conspiracy theo-ries. “I’m not a major member of the con-spiracy thing,” he says. “I’ve read a lot, and I’ve seen several shows on Discovery or the History channel. I think they’re well-docu-mented. I don’t believe or not believe [most conspiracy theories]. I don’t think there’s enough proof.”

He says he knows people who seem to be onboard with every theory out there. “Maybe they believe 100 of them and 10 of them are true,” he says. “It doesn’t mean they’re crazy. It means they have too much time on their hands.” Like Williams, most of us probably wouldn’t classify ourselves as conspiracy theorists, but we have to admit that some of the cases can be intriguing. Movies like “JFK,” “The Manchurian Candidate” and “All the President’s Men” have brought plausibility to some of the more popular theories, as have TV shows like “Conspira-cy Theory with Jesse Ventura.” And with the rise of the Internet, there’s a place for every opinion, no matter how outlandish: Most world leaders are alien reptiles. Stephen King killed John Lennon. The Early Middle Ages never occurred. The arguments may not be convincing, but they’re usually entertaining.

Williams says that despite his interest in conspiracy theories, he really buys into only two of them. “I believe that our gov-ernment knew about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and allowed it to happen because they knew that would take Ameri-cans’ opinions and put them behind the war effort. It’s really that short and sweet,” he says. “I also truly believe that our govern-ment was behind the assassination of JFK. I truly believe that.” Most conspiracy theories will probably never be proved true (or false). But believers are quick to point to a handful of high-pro-file acknowledged conspiracies, including Watergate, the existence of the Mafia, cov-er-ups by tobacco and asbestos companies, and the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, the infamous 40-year study in which the U.S. Public Health Service observed the effects of untreated syphilis in poor black men who thought they were getting free health care. Not to mention countless more obscure ex-amples. Each such revelation leaves bona fide conspiracy theorists a little more vindicated and the rest of us, perhaps, a little more will-ing to hear their side. “While intelligent cynicism certainly can be healthy, some of the greatest discover-ies of all time were initially received (often with great vitriol) as blasphemous conspir-acy theories,” says Elinoff, who claims he can list at least 75 conspiracy theories that turned out to be true. “Think of the revela-tion that the earth was not the center of the universe, or that the world was not flat but actually round.” Here, for your own consideration, are half a dozen of the perennial favorites.

Kennedy AssAssinAtiontHe claim: President John F. Kennedy was not killed by Lee Harvey Oswald. Polls have consistently found that a major-ity of Americans believe there was a con-spiracy to kill Kennedy, and a significant percentage believes there was a government cover-up. “The greatest and grandest of all conspiracy theories is the Kennedy assassi-nation conspiracy theory,” says John McAd-ams, a Marquette political science professor who maintains a website committed to de-bunking such speculation. But there’s less agreement among conspiracy theorists as to who else might have been behind Ken-nedy’s assassination: “the FBI, the CIA, the Federal Reserve, Lyndon B. Johnson, the Bush family or anti-Castro Cuban radicals, depending on which wing of the conspiracy fringe you are talking to,” according to the Herald Daily blog.

RoswelltHe claim: An alien spaceship and the aliens aboard it crashed in Roswell, N.M., in 1947. The official version is that the de-bris found was from a surveillance balloon involved in a classified government program. Conspiracy theorists believe that the military captured the aliens, cleaned up the ship, and then covered up the in-cident. Hundreds of eye witnesses say they saw the landing, but when pressed, just a few of them claim to have personally seen aliens up close. Whatever the truth, Roswell will probably always be associated with UFOs.

9/11tHe claim: The U.S. government either allowed the Sept. 11 attacks to occur or actually carried them out, through controlled demolition of the twin towers. According to conspiracy theorists, the government’s motives for kill-ing about 3,000 of its own citizens were to raise support for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and to limit civil liberties through the ensuing Patriot Act. Popular Mechanics and

the National Institute of Standards and Technology, among others, have refuted 9/11 conspiracy claims, but not to everyone’s satisfaction; “the ‘we let it happen’ version can never be concretely disproved,” notes the Herald Daily.

PeARl HARboRtHe claim: The destruction of Pearl Harbor was car-ried out with the full knowledge of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Along the same lines as the 9/11 conspiracy theory, believers in this storyline claim that Roosevelt al-lowed Pearl Harbor to be attacked in order to drum up support for U.S. involvement in World War II. Supposedly, several countries warned the U.S. government of an attack, but FDR ignored the warn-ings. Some conspiracy theorists also

believe FDR gave Hawaii “bogus intelligence about oncoming Japanese fleets to purposely throw our defenses off,” according to the Daily Herald.

AReA 51tHe claim: Nuclear experiments, alien cover-ups, genetic modification and radioactive testing are among the activities completed at this military base in Nevada. Officially, the facility – its exact location is secret – is used for test-ing and development of weapons and aircraft systems. However, conspiracy theorists love to speculate on what “really” goes on there; while plenty of theories have a movie made about them, this one got its own video game.

Moon lAndingtHe claim: The Apollo did not land on the moon; the U.S. govern-ment faked it to encourage patriotism. Believers in this conspiracy theory say the government created or tampered with evidence of the landing, such as trans-missions and samples of moon rock. The Flat Earth Society (which, yes, also propagates the theory that the earth is flat) claims that the landing was staged in Hollywood. “Fortunately, the Soviets didn’t think of the gag first,” says Dr. Tony Phillips of NASA. “They could have filmed their own fake moon landings and really embarrassed the free world.” PCM

elvis fAKed His deAtHSince his death in 1977, the theory that Elvis Presley faked his death remains popular and Elvis sightings continue to this day. Theo-rists point to several inconsistencies follow-ing his death, including the misspelling of Presley’s middle name on his headstone (Aron is spelled with one “a” but two were on the stone), the circumstances surround-ing the disappearance of the original death certificate, and the mystery behind a man that looked remarkably like Presley who bought a plane ticket to Buenos Aires in cash under the name John Burrows – an alias name Presley used in the past – two hours before Presley’s death was announced.

Men in blAcKSome conspiracy theorists believe men dressed in black suits are from secret gov-ernment agencies or secret military units with the aim of intimidating and harassing UFO witnesses. Others contend that the Men in Black are actually aliens (witnesses say they look unusually pale and odd) sent to prevent information on UFOs from being released to the general public.

tHe PHilAdelPHiA exPeRiMentThis theory claims that in 1943, a Navy de-stroyer, the USS Eldridge, was successfully made invisible and teleported from Phila-delphia to Norfolk, Va., and back. The ex-periment allegedly turned sailors invisible and caused many others to go insane and so was discontinued. The U.S. Navy denies the project ever existed although some say the Navy’s attempts at making other things in-visible, namely torpedoes, succeeded.

secRet societiesTheories have persisted for centuries of se-cret societies, led by a small group of “global elite,” controlling world events for financial and political gain. While many of the soci-eties existed in the past or still do exist, the extent of their influence on world affairs is open to debate. The Illuminati, one of the most notorious of these secret groups, is said to be bent on creating a worldwide govern-ment with Satanic leanings. The Freemasons, of which many of our founding fathers were members, is also said to be secretly plotting world domination.


Steven Jackson’s workday begins much like anyone’s. The alarm goes off at 6 a.m.; there’s a morning rou-tine of getting dressed and eating a healthy, protein-packed breakfast

around 6:30; and then there’s the commute to the job. Once he’s at the office, by 7, it’s meetings and more meetings. A few hours of team-building physical exercises and boring video presentations are thrown in there, too. “You typically get home around 5 p.m.,” Jackson says of the fall-winter routine he’s carried out as an employee with the St. Louis Rams the past seven years. “We usually put in eight-, nine-hour days with the team.” When it’s time to relax after a hard day

of his boss yelling and coworkers dropping the ball on their assignments, Jackson chills much like you’d expect a three-time NFL Pro Bowl running back to – with a good book. “I love to read biographies about great lead-ers,” he says. “If I’m not reading, I typically watch the Travel Channel,” Jackson continues. “Those two things help me decompress and get away from some of the stress of football and what I need to do in the week coming up.” OK, so maybe Jackson’s routine isn’t the most typical one. But then again, Jackson’s playing style doesn’t exactly fall under the status quo either. When Sunday comes around, the tranquil Jackson transforms into

something rarely seen on the gridiron. Like the Incredible Hulk on skates, No. 39 bar-rels his way through the line of scrimmage yet somehow avoids opposing linemen like they’re debt collectors. It’s equal parts men-acing and majestic, and most teams have managed only minimal answers for it. “I go into the offseason and I try to iden-tify what I did the best last season,” explains Jackson, who’s coming off a 2011 season where he accounted for nearly 1,500 all-purpose yards. “Secondly, I want to work on maximizing my skills in the offseason. I never just assume I have one thing perfected. I am working on everything all the time.”

But for all the highs Jackson has ac-complished on an individual level (seven straight seasons of more than 1,000 rushing yards and all-time leading rusher in Rams franchise history), there have been nearly as many lows for the organization. St. Louis is a combined 15-65 over the past five seasons. The Rams haven’t gone to the postseason since a Marc Bulger-led bunch in 2004. “For quite some time we’ve been in flux,” Jackson says candidly. “There’s no stability. We have had no real set goal for everyone to go and achieve. So, I think now having the stability with Coach [Jim] Fisher, his staff and our new GM Les Snead, I think that gives us stability. It looks like they’re going to be there for a while to allow us to get back to those winning ways.”

Defining a ProIt was evident Jackson was unique early on. Not many great football players have come from Las Vegas. But it was there that Jack-son first dominated, leading Eldorado High School to the state finals, scoring 81 career touchdowns and being named Nevada’s player of the year. The star running back wanted to play college ball for a team he felt was up and coming, so he went to Oregon State Univer-sity. Over his three-year career in Corvallis, he’d win over Beaver fans and NFL scouts

alike with his hardnosed running style and soft, reliable hands. “I learned from two different [Oregon State] head coaches (Dennis Erickson and Mike Riley) that had NFL experience,” he recalls. “They really just helped me devel-op my skills to the point where I could get drafted. Then, with the 24th pick in the first round [of the 2004 NFL Draft], the Rams de-cided to draft me as the first running back off the board. I had a chance to back up Mar-shall Faulk. Step by step, I had a chance to learn the game and see it from different as-pects each year.” Another thing Jackson learned over time was how to maintain his body. Though far from the only NFL star taking his diet and exercise seriously, he is arguably one of the game’s most dedicated. The aforemen-tioned weekly work routine also includes ice baths, acupuncture treatments and hy-perbaric chambers. And it shows in a chis-eled, 29-year-old frame that rivals a player’s 10 years his junior. Of course, Jackson’s going to have to remain in optimum physical shape if he, Bradford and promising youngsters like linebacker James Laurinaitis are to lead the Rams back to respectability this season. On an individual level, Jackson has one career goal left: joining the exclusive 10,000/5,000 club. “Ten thousand yards

rushing and 5,000 receiving for a running back,” he clarifies of the fraternity that in-cludes only legends Marcus Allen, Marshall Faulk and Tiki Barber. “That’s an elite group to be a part of. I’m pretty close. I have a little ways to go as far as receiving, but it’s still doable. I hope to achieve that before I re-tire.” At the start of the 2012 season, Jackson had 3,003 receiving yards. As if he needed anything else to separate himself from the football crowd.

defining a PersonTurn on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” right now and you’ll probably see a story about a foot-ball player who’s done something senseless away from the field. It’s sad. But chances are slim you’ll ever see Jackson’s mug on TV for drugs or a DUI. The proud father would much rather be behind the camera than get caught in cuffs in front of one. “I’m very into filmmaking, storytelling, the art of it,” says Jackson, who has his own production company that already has day-in-the-life-styled documentaries on Steven’s website, SJ39.com. “How directors and ac-tors have to put it together is almost like a game plan to execute. The producers are more like the GMs, so I can see how it relates to sports. But film is something that is excit-ing because it just allows you to tell stories

and draw to demographics of people that may not even pay you attention, but the storyline may grab them and captivate them.” Jackson’s also an architecture and travel nut. New York City and New Orleans are his favorite places to visit during the NFL season, but come the spring and summer, he likes to spread things out a bit. He visited London this past July. He hopes to make his way to Asia for the first time in the near future. But if there’s one thing Jackson loves more than stamping his passport, it’s giving back. While it seems like every player in the league has some sort of organization that hands out turkeys at Thanksgiving, Jackson’s desire to instill educational and healthy living values into Las Vegas and St. Louis youth runs deeper. “Al-though I’m an NFL player,” the man behind the Steven Jackson Foundation details to Bloomberg Radio, “we’re a part of the com-munity and we care about [it].” And they say there are no more role models in pro sports. The next time you hear someone make a similarly flawed statement, kindly point him or her in the direction of St. Louis’ Edward Jones Dome. There he’ll find a clean-cut, well-spoken man named Ste-ven Rashad Jackson walking into the office. He’ll look like any other guy working in the NFL. The only difference is that this one cares as much about cinema and children as he does about mak-ing opposing cornerbacks look clueless. PCM

The deafening cheers that Trace Adkins receives during a con-cert never fail to energize the country music superstar. “It’s that immediate gratification that

applause gives you,” he says. “As a per-former, that is our oxygen. That is what keeps us going.” Adkins got his share of applause this spring and summer during his “Songs & Stories Tour,” which visited some of America’s most beautiful the-aters. The tour took shape after Adkins released his 10th studio album, “Proud To Be Here,” last summer. The intimate performances incor-porated stories, both humorous and meaningful, that paid homage to Ad-kins’ working-man roots and musical heritage. “Sharing songs, stories and some laughs ‘around the campfire’ is the country music tradition,” Adkins says. “It’s been refreshing.” He enjoys the rowdy performances

where he can go out and “mash the ac-celerator to the floor and keep it there the whole time” but “Songs & Stories” has allowed him to be more interactive with the audience. “This is a different kind of show,” he says. “It’s not a romp and stomp through the hits.” The towering 6 feet 6 inches baritone is one of country music’s most versatile and accomplished entertainers, earn-ing gold, platinum and multi-platinum albums with total sales surpassing 10 million. He is the author of “A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck,” and was a finalist on NBC’s “The Celebrity Ap-prentice.” Adkins, whose recognizable voice can be heard in a variety of com-mercials, also had a role in “The Lincoln Lawyer” with Matthew McConaughey as well as a cameo in “The Healer,” a supernatural adventure about a fam-ily’s resilience, which will be released this year.

During the latter part of the “Songs & Stories Tour,” Adkins also was taping his new Great American Country tele-vision series, “Great American Hero,” which began airing Aug. 22. The show celebrates people who are making a dif-ference in the world. Camera crews fol-lowed the country star during six per-formances of the tour. Adkins knew what he wanted to ac-complish with the series but had chal-lenges getting that message through to some networks. “There is no real dra-ma, no confrontation element,” he says. “A couple of networks wanted to do that but I didn’t want to do it like that. This is a positive show giving people a pat on the back.” The show highlights a broad spec-trum of people with one thing in com-mon - acts of kindness. “It’s about peo-ple who have taken it upon themselves to live a selfless kind of life,” Adkins says. “They are not always thinking

when they get up ‘How am I going to better my position [in life]?’ They think of other people and spending time helping folks.” Even in the current economic conditions, he has found people around the country reaching out to others. “There is a greater need out there and a lot of people are stepping into the breach to fill those needs,” Adkins says. “It’s been a lot of fun.” Adkins lives his message of giving back. His own charitable endeavors include performing in honor of the individuals who died on United Airlines’ Flight 93 on 9/11 and for the military in the Middle East. “I was raised patriotic,” he says, noting that his grandfather was in the Army. “From the very first time I did any-thing with the military for the USO I just realized these people are a courageous breed. If you have the chance to associate and hang out with these people, you should do that and hope that a little rubs off on you.” The recipient of the 2010 Artist Humanitarian Award from Country Radio Broadcasters, Adkins also has raised more than $750,000 for the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network and par-

ticipated in an episode of “Extreme Make-over: Home Edition.” This June he was in Charlotte, N.C., to help celebrate the renovated Urban Minis-try Center, which works with the homeless. The revitalization was part of the Maxwell House Community Project, Drops of Good. In August Adkins canceled a concert in Cle Elum, Wash., because of devastating wild-fires in the area. He wrote to fans on his website saying, “I know all too well what residents are feeling as they evacuate their homes. I thank God that reports indicate no loss of life. As the hundreds of firefighters, National Guardsmen and community lead-ers work overtime to keep everyone safe, I hope that those who have the means will also offer their help.” A member of the Grand Ole Opry, Adkins was raised on country and gospel music. His musical influences include his granddaddy, who sang in church, and his uncle JW, who was a singing evangelist and a piano player. Adkins started his own career at 17, sing-ing with a quartet in Louisiana. He played clubs on weekends and slowly began to network. “I was introduced to the right peo-ple,” he says. “Every bit was luck.” The Louisiana native has a blue-collar heritage. He began working in construction and oil fields where he drove a truck haul-

ing pumping units in the oil field. He has worked hard and played hard during his lifetime. Early on, he spent a lot of time in

the clubs, living a rowdy lifestyle. “I’m not that way anymore,” he says. “I’m a boring, old married guy and the father of the clan.” Adkins says that the births of his five

daughters were the best moments of his life. Now, as they age, he’s taking on a different role. “I’m basically working security, watch-ing out for whatever,” he says with a laugh. “I’m the guard dog but I get to sleep in the house.” He encourages his daughters to savor their youth. “Life is fleeting,” he says. “It goes by fast.” Even though he’s a proud fa-ther, he doesn’t claim to be father of the year. “I’d never win that. When everything is clip-ping along OK I can be guilty of not engag-ing with them as much as I should. I have to remind myself to engage from time to time.”His family suffered a tragedy in June 2011 when a fire destroyed their home south of Nashville. The family is fine, Adkins says, but they have not rebuilt their home yet. “It’s been a slow process. We are leasing a nice house in Tennessee.” Throughout his life, Adkins has pos-sessed an even-keel outlook, even in the tough times. “I’m really a pretty quiet, laid-back, easy-going guy,” he says. He’s also a forthright straight shooter who stands up for his beliefs. His autobiography “A Per-sonal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck,” published in 2007, talks about personal responsibility and identifying and solving problems in the star’s typical candid manner.

Adkins’ life and thoughts play into his music. His last studio album, “Proud To Be Here,” was released in 2011 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Country Album Chart. It included everything from love songs such as “Million Dollar View” to Adkins’ signature lighter songs such as “It’s a Woman Thang.” He is currently working on a new album for Show Dog-Universal Music that will be released this year. The first single from the album, “Them Lips (On Mine),” a lighthearted up-tempo track, was released in June. Go-ing back into the studio and bringing a fresh prospect to the project was a challenge for the 17-year music veteran. “You always have to one-up yourself,” he says. “It gets a lot harder to do but I think we did it one more time.” The new album has a mix of songs. “It’s not a depar-ture and it’s not a theme album,” Adkins says. “Hopefully it has a good balance, which I always try to strike.” Adkins wrote the album’s title track, “Big Road.” “It’s about how I make my living and how truck drivers make their living,” he says, noting that he can relate to truck drivers and their life on the road. The seed for the song goes back to his youth when he was learning to drive through pastures and on dirt roads. “I remember my dad-dy saying don’t get out on the big road.” Being able to drive on the interstate was a “rite of passage,” he adds. “Now that is how I make my living. I don’t get paid to sing. I get paid to ride the bus and be gone from home. I do the singing part for free.” Adkins used his truck driving skills when he was tap-ing “The Healer.” “I was the devil driving a truck full of souls to hell,” he says with a sly edge to his voice.

THE SONg “THEM LiPS (ON MiNE)” is the first single from Adkins’ new album set to debut this fall.


The roles that he has had on the big screen and on television have not only been fun but have also given him confidence in him-self. He believes his success in country music enabled him to get the roles he has landed. “It has opened doors for me,” he says. “Without the music I wouldn’t have gotten a second look for the acting stuff I have done.” Over the course of his career, Adkins has guest starred on nu-merous television shows, including “King of the Hill” and “Politi-cally Incorrect,” moments that he has enjoyed. His stint on Don-ald Trump’s “The Celebrity Apprentice” was a different story. “It was not a fun diversion,” he recalls. “It was like a really intensive month-long job. I learned that I can survive in that environment even though I am not comfortable in it; that I can function.” Even though he didn’t win - he came in second, behind talk show host Piers Morgan - Adkins was able to raise awareness for the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network and that was his goal from the beginning. When it comes to his rank as superstar, Adkins remains hum-ble. He is a music fan at heart, idolizing the legends of the industry. As a member of the Grand Ole Opry, he appreciates being on stage with singers that he looks up to, he says. “I can go out and, on any given night, be surround by legends.” He thinks it’s funny that his dad was blasé about his son’s ca-reer until NASCAR named a Busch series race after him - the Trace Adkins Chrome 300. “He said that he guessed I finally made it,” Adkins says. What would his granddaddy and uncle think of his career to-day? “I am sure I still do things from time to time that would elicit a pretty stern look from my granddaddy,” he says. “I think overall, though, they would be proud.” PCM

The future of transportation in our country is very much at a crossroads. The acceleration of technology and inflation within the industry has raised innumerable questions rang-

ing from driver privacy to alternative fuels to crumbling infrastructure. Whoever will be leading us in the next four to 10 years is go-ing to have some tough and expensive deci-sions to make that will impact not only those of us in the trucking and transportation busi-ness but also every person who walks into a store to buy a product. Nov. 6 will mark the 57th time citizens of the United States have gone to the polls to elect a president. While the merits and im-pact of some of the elected over the years are open to debate, the simple act of voting for our next leader every four years has become a unique symbol of freedom throughout the world. Voting is our right, but not everyone on this planet can say the same.

According to census.gov, during the 2008 presidential election, 64 percent of citizens eligible to vote cast a ballot, approximately 131 million people. Conversely, 36 percent, or 75 million people, who could vote did not. In 1977, Bill Vaughan, a columnist and author, wrote, “A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won’t cross the street to vote in a national election.” That still rings true today. “Every time you vote for a member of Congress, they have a direct input on what a truck operator is going to drive, how long he’s going to drive, and under what condi-tions he’s going to drive,” says Don Schaefer, executive vice president, Mid-west Truckers Association. “So it’s important to find out what your congressperson’s positions are on some of the big issues you’re concerned with.” Whether it’s the president who sets the agenda and tone of his term or Congress that

enacts the laws, we the voters are still ulti-mately responsible for the actions and poli-cies of our leaders.

ISSUeS IN tHe INDUStryIn this year’s election season, transportation, as well as many other industries, are fatalis-tically tied to the overall issue of producing a budget and getting control of the deficit. It’s the elephant in the room that won’t disap-pear no matter how much we wish it would. As it stands, the national debt now tops out at $16 trillion. It’s a figure that’s hard to fath-om but can’t be ignored. “The deficit and management of the country’s finances is at the very top of the priority list,” says Tonn Ostergard, CEO and president of Crete Carrier Corp. “How you get there is a matter of opinion, but right now there hasn’t even been an overall ac-knowledgment that the deficit and grow-ing debt have to be reined in. Nothing can be successful until we get the budget issues resolved and address the spending. Until that is well thought out and planned, I don’t think much else really matters.” Reining in the spending, as Republi-can vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan continues to emphasize, will take sacrifice. The hard part, however, will be figuring out where to save in transportation when the major issues of the industry are much like a DNA strand – all the parts are interconnect-ed. If we want to stop the nation’s debt from growing, we need to make difficult decisions that could limit funding to repair bridges. If roads aren’t repaired, then main-tenance costs go up on vehicles. If we want to transition to alternative fuels, we have to find political compromise in order to tap into our nation’s enormous supply of natural re-sources. But as we transition to natural gas or biofuels, new technologies will need to be installed in existing fleets. Regulations have improved safety in trucking; overregulation has put a financial burden on carriers and owner-operators that will be difficult to sus-tain. Meanwhile, fuel prices continue to rise. “Unless we have another source that can get us off of Organization of the Petroleum Ex-porting Countries (OPEC), we’re going to be in serious trouble,” says Heather Pontruff, a former owner-operator and blogger. “As oil prices go up, our diesel prices go up. I think we’re setting ourselves up for disaster.” It’s the driver, Pontruff says, that ends up being caught in the middle. As fuel prices rise, rates rise, creating tension with custom-ers. “We had a hard time getting our custom-ers to understand that our rates had to go up with fuel prices going up.” So regardless of who is occupying the

White House and what political party con-trols Congress, some tough decisions lay ahead.

CANDiDATES’ POSiTiONSIn many ways, the transportation system is a victim of its own success. “The truth is [transportation] always tends to take a back seat to conversations about the economy, tax policies, trade policies, health care, some very big issues,” says Bill Graves, president and CEO of the American Trucking Associa-tions. “I think we have become so very good at what we do, so very dependable, that we are, to a great extent, taken for granted.” Regardless of rising costs, repressive reg-ulations and deteriorating infrastructures, the freight still arrives on time. The bread is on the grocery store shelf and the new style of jeans is on the rack, so what’s the prob-lem? The campaign trail, in many ways, is reflective of that attitude. Building and re-pairing roads and bridges is mentioned oc-casionally, but specifics are lacking. Alter-native fuels are a hot topic, but where’s the game plan? Regarding transportation, the Democrat-ic National Platform notes Obama’s success-ful passing of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) authorization bill that appropriates $105 billion to trans-

portation programs. The Federal Highway Administration website says MAP-21 is the first long-term highway authorization en-acted since 2005, although you’d be hard-pressed to find someone in the industry that considers two years long term. The platform also notes support for investing in a faster “transition to cleaner fuels in the transpor-tation sector” and sustaining the Highway Trust Fund, without much detail on how to achieve it.

The Republican National Platform also addresses the fund, noting that “securing sufficient funding for the Highway Trust Fund remains a challenge given the debt and

deficits and the need to reduce spending. Republicans will make hard choices and set priorities, and infrastructure will be among them.” It also emphasizes domestic energy independence and strengthening federal-state and public-private partnerships to “modernize our country’s travel lifelines.” Romney’s record as governor of Mas-sachusetts may provide a glimpse into his strategies concerning transportation. Dur-ing that time, he adopted a “fix it first” ap-proach, identifying roads and bridges across the commonwealth for repair. In addition, midway through his term, Romney unveiled a long-term (20 years), $31 billion transpor-tation plan with the majority of the money going to decongesting and expanding road-ways – a plan many in the industry who have begged for a long-term transportation strategy will find encouraging. It’s clear that Romney’s top priority is the economy and debt, so we can probably expect many of the existing transportation programs to come under strict budgetary scrutiny before being funded. Obama will be pleased with MAP-21, which is probably the reason he’s put transportation on the back-burner of his campaign rhetoric.

Franken’s election to the Senate in 2008. The Minnesota Demo-crat won by a mere 312 votes out of nearly 3 million ballots cast – a 0.011 percent margin of victory. Franken’s fate was determined by fewer people than can fit in a 747 airplane. If you’re on the road, the best way to make your voice count is through an absentee ballot. The rules for absentee voting differ among states, as do deadlines for applying. Residents of Indiana, for ex-ample, have a deadline of Oct. 29 to apply for an absentee ballot, whereas in Massachusetts you have until noon the day before the election. There are also different deadlines for voting absentee in person versus by mail. Check with your state’s election division for details. Some states require an ex-cuse for the absentee ballot, such as traveling out of the country on Election Day or serving in the military. Thirty-two states and the District of Columbia, however, of-fer no-excuse or early voting. Early voting allows you to cast your bal-

lot before Election Day, sometimes weeks before, without explana-tion. Many voters take advantage of early voting simply to avoid the long lines at polling locations on Election Day. To make it even easier, citizens are also able to register to vote on Election Day. Just go to your desig-nated polling location and sign up. It’s voting made easy. “I think the day is coming when politicians in general need to tell us what we need to hear and not what we want to hear,” says Ostergard. “And so as people go to the polls and vote, they need to ask that question, what do I need to hear instead of what do I want to hear just to make me feel good to get somebody elected.” This can be another election where the status quo reigns by mere apathy of the electorate or we can hold our elected officials accountable for their actions by the power of our vote. It’s a power we may have taken for granted at times but thankfully we’re given the ability to use that power again this November. Make your voice count and vote. PCM

“Safety first” is Randy Immoos’s motto. Driving between Salt Lake City and Memphis, Tenn., twice a week, he’s on the road for several thousand miles ev-

ery month. After almost two decades, Im-moos reached 3 million miles accident-free last year. It’s not an accident how he got there, either. He drives for C.R. England, a transportation company that puts safety first. “I really feel as a driver that CR England doesn’t compromise safety in any way,” Im-moos says. “Safety is first in our company.” By making safety a priority, C.R. Eng-land, founded in 1920, has grown from a sin-

gle Model T hauling milk for local farmers in Weber County, Utah, to a fleet of more than 2,800 trucks, including Freightliners, Volvos, Internationals and Peterbilts, that service the contiguous United States and Mexico. True to its milk-hauling roots, C.R. England is one of the leaders in temperature-controlled transportation but also provides dedicated and regional routes. Top-of-the-line equipment is one way C.R. England offers safety to its drivers. Trucks outfitted with the newest technology can offer benefits, like back-up cameras, that older trucks cannot. C.R. England drivers never drive a truck older than three years. Immoos says he gets a new truck every year.

He currently drives a Freightliner Cascadia with a new Detroit motor DD15, “best in the industry right now.” Safety also extends to job security. In an industry with a high turnover rate, C.R. Eng-land guarantees graduates of their driving schools a job with the company. C.R. Eng-

land currently has more than 7,500 drivers, about a third operating as independent con-tractors. And they’re hiring. C.R. England has driving schools in five locations around the country – Burns Harbor, Ind.; Dallas; Fontana, Calif.; Richmond, Ind.; and Salt Lake City. “We’re in a pretty aggressive growth mode,” says Thom Pronk, vice president of recruiting, training and corporate develop-ment. “We’ve been very successful at hiring new people into the industry and training them the C.R. England way.” The C.R. England way includes monthly RoadSmart conference calls that address the safety issue of the day. “We invite our drivers to call in,” Pronk explains. “It’s a live safety call, or recorded if they can’t get to the live one, where we go over some of the challenges we’re going through but also some specific tips and things that we want our drivers to focus on for the month.” Driv-ers are given a forum to discuss the problems they see on the road every day. One major safety issue that C.R. Eng-land has addressed is fatigue. The company has a full-time fatigue manager who moni-tors drivers and offers advice depending on the situation. “If it’s the middle of the night and you’re fatigued, you can get on your headset and call one of the safety manag-

ers,” who will either recommend a place to pull over or talk drivers through until the next stop, explains owner-operator An-nette Dellinger. “There’s always somebody there, somebody willing to help you out.” Qualcomm messages are used too. Immoos points out that all drivers receive nightly fatigue messages designed to make them aware of fatigue and how to recognize the signs. Driver incentives also encourage a safety-first mind set. C.R. England has quarterly giveaways (currently a Harley-Davidson motorcycle), cash drawings and acknowledgment gifts for qualified driv-ers. Drivers who maintain a safety record and a consistent mpg are entered into regu-lar drawings. Passing DOT inspections is another way to be entered into a drawing to win $500. Safety starts with the drivers. Wheth-er they are company drivers or owner-operators, C.R. England drivers all have something in common. “That attitude of accountability, discipline, commitment and hard work,” Pronk says. “We can teach people how to drive but we can’t teach those things necessarily.” Dellinger graduated from C.R. England Premier Driving School and has been driv-ing for almost a year with her husband, Adam. She says she appreciates the wel-

You can be in Fargo, N.D., or you can be in Oakland, Calif., and you’re still part of the family.” “Safety has to be the first priority because if we don’t deliver freight safely nothing else really matters,” Immoos says. “Rules have changed, our hours of service have changed, but at C.R.

Billy West’s work has brought laugh-ter to millions of people. He is one of the busiest and most well- known actors today, but you prob-ably wouldn’t recognize his face.

He’s the talented voice behind characters like Philip J. Fry in “Futurama,” Stimpy in “Ren and Stimpy” and the red M&M. Following in the footsteps of the iconic Mel Blanc (the original voice of Bugs Bunny and other Looney Tunes charac-ters), West is one of the most talented voice

actors in America today. Parents of kids in the ’90s might rec-ognize West’s work on two popular Nick-elodeon cartoons. He voiced the main character in “Doug,” a show about the predicaments of an 11-year-old, and “The Ren and Stimpy Show,” featuring a dog-and-cat duo that later gained cult status. He originally voiced the simpleminded Stimpson J. Cat, but eventually took over the voice of the demented Chihuahua Ren Hoek as well.

West has also voiced several other fa-mous characters. In 1996 he provided the voices of Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in the movie “Space Jam.” He’s voiced so many of the Looney Tunes characters that Enter-tainment Weekly called him the next Blanc, which doesn’t sit well with West. “Yipes! I just want to be the best me there is.” Born in Detroit in 1950, West’s talent emerged at a young age. “I used to shout out voices and noises from about age 4 or 5,” he says. Mostly it was to comfort his mother and to ease the tension caused by his alcoholic father’s temper. In an in-terview with David Shankbone, West de-scribed his childhood as a “horror cham-ber,” referring to the abuse from his father. “I was the whipping boy and [my mother] would just be reduced to tears a lot of times, and I would come in and say stuff, and I would put out little bits just to pull her out of it.”

West’s mother eventually filed for di-vorce and moved him and his two brothers to Boston in the early ’60s. The move to the Northeast wasn’t easy for a sixth-grader. “It was a culture shock moving from Detroit to Boston,” he says. As much as he wanted to hang on to the Midwestern accent, the allure of the Bostonian twang proved too much. “I thought it was cool to just open your mouth and let words fall out of it like the kids in Boston.” In his early 20s, West faced his own ad-dictions with alcohol and drugs. A series of car accidents didn’t provide a wake-up call, but failing to pay his rent did. He told Shankbone, “I finally cracked up a car and I was in for non-payment of rent and the judge says, ‘I don’t care about this non-payment of rent thing, but you’re doing a week in Charles Street Jail for this DWI that you never answered for.’” After completing rehabilitation, West has remained clean for 26 years.

WEST HAS PROviDED THE vOiCES of Buzz, the mascot of Honey Nut Cheerios, and Popeye in Minute Maid commercials.

on Boston’s WBCN morning “Charles Laquidara’s Big Mattress” show. He re-calls a bit he used to do in radio. “‘This portion of our program is brought to you by the letter D, donated by the town of Medford, Mass., which no lon-ger uses it.’ People would pronounce it ‘Meffa.’” Then from the late 1980s through the

mid-1990s, West could be

heard on

Howard Stern’s nationally syndicated show. His celebrity impersonations fooled quite a few people. Stern con-ducted many “celebrity” interviews with West. He mastered the voices of actors such as Lucille Ball, Raymond Burr and Robin Williams, television personalities Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and Kathy Lee Gifford, and singers like Elton John, Sammy Davis Jr., and Frank Sinatra. His impersonations and quick wit made him a favorite on the shock jock’s show. A salary dispute caused him to leave in 1995. Since then, West has done the oc-casional voice for radio shows, but has focused on voiceover work. Although a radio gig hosting his own show would seem like a natural step, West didn’t “want to showcase the works of others for a living.” West has proved that he can both imitate and create. Original characters abound for him in the “Futurama” uni-verse. He voices the characters Philip J. Fry, Dr. Farnsworth, Dr. John A. Zoid-

berg and Zapp Brannigan. “I try with every character to make people feel like it has a beating heart, a soul and as much substance as I can give it,” he explains, “so they act

and sound as if they had a real reason to exist.” Even with all his hard work, West’s “Futurama” characters almost ceased to exist. The show originally aired on Fox from 1999-2003 before ceasing production. The show gathered a cult following when picked up for syndication by Cartoon Network until 2007 when Comedy Central agreed to produce new epi-sodes. The show is in the middle of its seventh season, which wraps in mid-2013. And just because he works in cartoons, don’t think that West is flippant about his job. “I treat all the gigs I do really seriously, no matter what it is. I have an immigrant mentality. If I don’t do the right witty little voice that day, they’ll take away my house!” he jokes. He brings that same mentality to his commercial work as well. West is the voice of the red M&M and Buzz, the mascot of Honey Nut Cheerios. And West is quick to defend his craft from the current trend in marketing of using well-known film actors to voiceover com-mercials, like Tim Allen promoting Campbell’s Soups and Julia Roberts extolling the benefits of Nationwide Insurance. “It’s not about me,” he says. “[But] what about the 19-year-old firebrand that is bursting with character ideas and unique and magic vocal passion that won’t get seen because ‘Joey Bedhead’ film star thinks he’d make a great contribution to voiceover acting?” West explains the magic that voice actors bring to the craft. “To me art is about alchemy. [Voice actors] get hired to turn the lead bar on the table into gold. If there are people getting hired to bring exactly who and what they are to a character, the bar remains lead.” With more than 100 voices to his credit, West continues to bring gold to television audiences everywhere.

crisp, chilly air, clear skies and color-ful foliage announce the arrival of fall. To help you enjoy the best the

season has to offer, we’ve put together a list of five great RV trips around the country, from the Appalachian Trail to the Pacific coast.

Adirondack Northway, New YorkThe Adirondack Northway, also called In-terstate 87, runs through the eastern region of the Adirondacks from Albany to the Canadian border. This drive will take you within easy reach of attractions like Lake George, Lake Placid and historic Fort Ticon-deroga. Along the way you’ll pass towns like Glenn Falls and Queensbury, where the Adirondack Balloon Festival takes place each fall. You can also enjoy the country’s longest hiking trail system and choose from more than 100 campgrounds.

Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia and North CarolinaSometimes called “America’s Favorite Drive,” the Blue Ridge Parkway is a 469-mile National Scenic Byway that stretches from Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley to North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains. Fol-lowing the Appalachian Mountain range, the parkway offers beautiful scenery. Peak time for fall foliage along the parkway is

late October. Visitors can experience Appa-lachian culture at the Mabry Mill at Mile-post 176.2, or hike miles of trails and enjoy great fishing at Cave Mountain Lake.

Pacific Coast Highway, OregonThe Pacific Coast Highway, known also as U.S. 101, runs the entire West Coast from Washington to California. We recommend the 363-mile section in Oregon, informally known as “The People’s Coast.” Breathtak-ing ocean views, historic landmarks and distinctive lighthouses make this drive

unforgettable. A visit to Depoe Bay, the “Whale Watching Capital of the Oregon Coast,” is a must. Whales can be seen from March through December. ATV enthusi-asts should check out the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, stretching from Florence to North Bend, which offers 47 miles of sand dunes.

Loess Hills Scenic Byway, IowaNamed after a geologic formation found in the area, Loess Hills covers 220 miles of western Iowa. This drive features intense reds and bright oranges of the hardwood forests and the deep yellows of the prairies. Stop for a hike through Five Ridge Prairie State Preserve to see the natural, untouched beauty of one of the largest prairies in the U.S. that can only be accessed on foot. Fall foliage will draw your attention, but keep your eyes to the sky. October is a great time for bird watching as large birds of prey start their migration to warmer temps. Expect to see hawks, eagles, falcons and vultures that can boast wingspans of more than six feet.

Natchez Trace Parkway, Mississippi, Alabama and TennesseeDrive through 10,000 years of history on the 444-mile Natchez Trace Parkway stretching from Mississippi to Tennessee. The maple, oak and hickory leaves are at their most brilliant mid to late October. Because of the limited traffic along the parkway, cyclists can take advantage of beautiful views and the free road biking packet provided by the Na-tional Park Service. Make sure to stop at Cy-press Swamp in Mississippi for the stunning cypress trees and maybe even a gator. PCM

originally built in 1892 as proof of the fertile soil of South Dakota, the Corn Palace in Mitchell has

grown into a kitschy tourist attraction that lures more than a half million visitors every year. With its Moorish domes and minarets, the large Corn Palace sticks out like an ex-otic thumb in tiny Mitchell. Nicknamed the world’s biggest birdfeeder, it is a unique building that does its job of attracting peo-ple to a tiny town. You won’t see priceless works of art in-side the Corn Palace, but you will see one-of-a-kind murals on the palace. Every fall, the outside walls of the Corn Palace feature 13 murals, created entirely out of corn. Ev-ery year more than 275,000 ears of corn are grown by Wade Strand, owner of the Corn Palace, on more than 100 acres of farmland. Of all the corn that is picked, only the best is palatial bound. Corn hues include red, brown, black, blue, white, orange, calico, yellow and green, and varying shades of each give current mural artist Cherie Rams-dell plenty to work with. Ramsdell designs about 30 separate murals with the year’s chosen theme us-ing watercolors, which are then submitted to a committee. Thirteen designs are cho-sen for the walls of the palace. The theme for 2012 was Saluting Youth Activities and

included murals about youth football, golf, dancing and gymnastics. This year’s theme is “We Celebrate” and will highlight several American holidays. To create the new mu-rals, every ear of corn is cut in half and then nailed in place. The new murals are finished by Oct. 1. In the end, the careful planning and careful work create a spectacular piece of art for all to see, or feed on, in the case of the pigeons and squirrels. And it’s not just the

murals outside that attract them. The Corn Palace has a gymnasium inside and is host to basketball games, shows, concerts, exhib-its and parties. In fact, it was rated as one of the top 10 places to play high school basket-ball in the U.S. The most popular event is the Corn Festival, held at the end of August every year, celebrating the corn harvest. It’s a huge event that features musical guests, vendors, food and rides. Acts that have per-formed at the Corn Festival include Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, Lawrence Welk, even the Three Stooges. The best time to visit is when the murals are still fresh, sometime in the middle of Oc-tober. Admission is free.

“Down in the Boondocks!” Re-member that Billy Joe Royal song? Literally speaking, of

course, boondocks means a remote, iso-lated country. To us RVers though, that’s music to our ears. Not many of us want to live in remote locations, nor are we capable of it. So for many RVers, a piece of remote land is of-ten exactly what they’re looking for, at least for a little while. Some place tran-quil and off the beaten path. A place to relax. Or to get a bit more specific, we’re looking for some place wild and wooded, preferably with a lake or stream. Paying for camping is nice and is usually part of our journey, but not paying for camp-ing is also nice. Traveling in an RV is not cheap and boondocking can help defer some of the costs. While cost is certainly a factor in our decision making, we really choose boon-docking because we can divorce our-selves from the hassle of check-ins, bark-ing dogs, children running through your little patch of rented space, and other unpleasantness. After all, most RVs today are self-contained and with proper water, waste and fuel management, you can eas-ily camp in the wilds without losing the RV’s wonderful conveniences. It’s more about becoming one with nature, at least for me. All RVers have their own idea of RV travel. And that is as it should be. But boon-docking offers up some unique experiences and once you’ve found a spot on the earth with the sound of a running stream, nights as black as ink, and game cruising through

your area, it’s hard to go back to “the wire” (campground electricity). The best places that we have found for boondocking are on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) property. Our first experience on BLM land was on a cross-country trip. We had planned on meeting up with my wife’s sister and her husband to explore the wonders of Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks in Utah. We chose a spot on BLM property off Highway 89 and met at an agreed-upon mile post marker. The area was within easy driving distance to both parks. We spent a week there and have never en-joyed a stay anywhere as pleasant. The absence of noisy traffic, exhaust fumes, dust and obnoxious music was pure tran-quility. At night, the heavens appeared to have more stars than ever; it looked like you could just reach out and pick them out of the sky. You could see eyes reflecting off the campfire light and hear the true night sounds of wildlife milling about. We hated to leave, but our paths from there were to travel together through Capitol Reef National Park and on to Moab. Our time on that particular piece of BLM property was very special and inspired us to experience several more boondocking trips. If you choose to do some research on BLM camping, I don’t think you will be disappointed. Just obey their rules, enjoy the moment and leave it like you were never there. I know you’ll come back singing about life down in the boon-docks.

There are a lot of theories as to what is the best way to lose weight. It seems like there are more diet books out there than anyone could possibly count. The problem is, no

one who writes a book has to prove that his or her theories are valid or that the book contains sound nutrition advice. Many “fad diets” are just that – fads. While it may be fashionable to follow the same diets as the movie stars, these fad diets may not al-ways be the best thing for you. Let’s look at one of these theories, “six meals a day for weight management,” which has endured through the years. Have you ever heard that eating six or more meals a day can make you lose weight? This style of eating is often re-ferred to as “grazing.” Many Americans have moved to grazing to match their on-the-go lifestyles, but eating this way is nothing new. In different parts of the world, serving small portions is common. Here we call them small plates or appetiz-

ers. In Spain they are referred to as tapas, in Morocco as kemia, and in China, dim sum. The effect frequency of meals has on weight management has been studied for 40 years. The theory is that grazing will help regulate blood sugar, reduce food cravings and keep hunger at bay. Accord-ing the American Journal of Clinical Nutri-tion, however, there is no real weight loss advantage to eating six meals a day. There is nothing magical about eating small, more frequent meals when it comes to los-ing weight. The real issue is total calories per day. Most people require somewhere be-tween 1,500-2,200 calories in a day to ob-tain good nutrition and maintain their weight. Research indicates that as long as you eat the correct amount of calories throughout the day, it doesn’t matter if you do it in three, four, five or six meals. The results will be the same. While grazing may not promote weight management any better than the standard

Six meals ‘fad’


three or four meals per day, it can provide an excellent opportunity to eat a healthier diet, if you plan correctly. Shifting from large meals and high-fat snacks to healthy, well-balanced mini meals can be an effective way to reduce your calorie intake to help you to lose weight. There can also be disadvantages for some people. If you have trouble controlling how much you eat, this way of eating can back-fire on you. If you choose high-calorie, high-fat small meals, or low-nutrition snacks, you may be getting too many calories. Healthy grazing requires planning to control the amount you eat. If you don’t plan, it’s easy to overeat this way, since you may never really feel full. The result can be higher calorie and fat intake which can, in turn, lead to weight gain, the opposite of the desired effect. Grazing healthfully can be a challenge when you are on the road. If you’re think-ing of trying it, having a plan is important. Here’s some advice on how to do it well.

EAT BREAkfAST. Numerous studies point to the importance of breaking the overnight fast with food. Reporting in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers concluded that skipping breakfast result-ed in greater consumption of calories and changes in insulin sensitivity that could lead to weight gain.

DO A LiTTLE MATH. Take the daily number of calories you’re aiming for and divide that by the number of meals you want to eat. Then or-ganize yourself so that you can successfully eat six meals while staying on your calorie target.

HAve SoMe StrAtegIeS IN yoUr bAcK POCkET. If you decide that six small meals are for you, try the following ideas to help keep your calories in check.• When eating out, choose simply prepared

foods without sauces.• Order a salad or appetizer rather than a

full meal.• If ordering a meal, take half of it to go

and save it for another meal.

PLAN AHEAD. If you have the ingredients with you, it can be easy to eat healthy mini meals. Try the following:• A hardboiled egg, slice of whole-wheat

toast and an orange (256 calories).• An apple, a slice of cheddar cheese and

light popcorn (215 calories).• Grilled chicken on a mini bagel with carrot

and celery sticks (218 calories).• Peanut butter on a whole-grain English

muffin with a banana (227 calories).• Hummus on a mini pita pocket with let-

tuce and tomato (327 calories).• Half a turkey sandwich with fruit salad

(199 calories).

• A fruit smoothie made with low-fat yo-gurt, berries and juice (257 calories).

While eating six times a day may not give you an advantage in the weight loss depart-ment, it can be done healthfully, if you prefer to eat that way. Remember that randomly eating six times a day is not an effective ap-proach. You must choose healthy foods in the right amounts to succeed at weight manage-ment, no matter how many times a day you choose to eat. Happy planning!

My husband, Stan, recently accom-plished one of his lifelong goals of tagging a monster grizzly bear. I, on the other hand, want no part

of bear hunting. Hunting in bear country makes me nervous. I’ve never actually seen a bear up close in this situation, and am quite pleased about that. I have had several nerve-wracking bear encounters. Once, while Stan and I were elk hunting in New Mexico, we had to walk down off the mountain on an old logging road after dark. He can see like a cat in the darkness and I can’t see worth a hoot. I was following close-ly behind him when suddenly dark shapes ran across the road about 20 yards in front of us. The smell of rotting garbage wafted to-ward us. I asked Stan what was making the commotion. His response made the hair on the back of my neck stand up: “A black bear is chasing some elk across the road in front of us.” Now, my version of the encounter is very different from Stan’s, who has embellished the tale a bit over the years. I merely held on to the back of his coat to keep him near as we continued walking down the road. He tells the story something like this: “We saw a bear in the road and Brenda grabbed me by the back of the coat with both hands while she shoved me back and forth in front of her as if trying to feed me to the bear. I couldn’t move my arms, even if I had to shoot in self-defense, because she had such a tight grip on me. I felt like I was in a straightjacket!” Everyone laughs as he plays up the part. On another occasion, Stan and I slept in a small spike camp at 11,000 feet so we could begin hunting elk at daybreak from a higher vantage point where elk would be com-

ing up the mountain to bed for the day. It worked. We got after a big bull and worked toward a high bench meadow. The bull was bugling and answering Stan’s cow calls. We were hiding by a big bush and suddenly I heard a muffled woofing noise coming from the other side of the bush. I whispered to Stan, “What does a bear sound like?” He responded with instructions for me to stay put while he moved closer. Another woof. No way was I staying in the bushes with a potential bear! I quickly disobeyed his wish and became Stan’s shadow in pursuit of the elk all the way across the meadow and away from that bush. On yet another elk hunt, Stan dropped me off on an old road at a point where I could walk the 100 yards to my tree stand over a wallow. He and a buddy continued on up to higher ground where they were to spot and stalk elk for the afternoon. They were supposed to return just at dark to pick me up and drive back to our camp. They missed the “just at dark” portion of the in-structions. Little did I know as I arrived at my des-ignated spot that I would still be standing there 30 minutes later in pitch-black dark-ness. No moon, just a few stars. My nerves got the better of me when I heard pebbles tumble down into the road at my feet. All I could think of was to make noise so as not to surprise a wandering bear. I spent the next several minutes stomping up and down the road singing “God Bless America,” waiting to be rescued. Why that song? I have no idea. Folks love to invite me to go bear hunt-ing. They know I will refuse. I just want them to continue hunting bears so bears will stay scared of humans. And away from me!

Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 99 in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, is a big-hearted guy with tons of tal-ent and a Midwest friendly nature. Of course, I’m not on the racetrack

where he’s not likely to give up an inch of space on his way to the finish. I have a wooden box on my studio desk with business cards in it, some of which date back a ways. In that box is the Carl Edwards business card from when he was a young driver trying to find a job. I don’t recall when the card was handed to me, but it’s a collector’s item now. The card is white and glossy with a black and white photo of a young Carl Edwards on it and it reads: “If you’re looking for a driver, you’re looking for me. CARL EDWARDS, Driver” “Well you’re one of about only two or three thousand (who got one), ’cause I hand-ed out those business cards to every single person who would take them,” Edwards tells me with a chuckle. “I’d be leaving the dirt track and see ’em laying in the dirt, you

know, just like in the parking lot. After re-signing with Roush Fenway Racing recently to a multi-year deal, Ed-wards won’t need to be handing out busi-ness cards any time soon. I got to know him when he’d win Nation-wide races and come in after the checkered flag on a Friday or Saturday night in studio to hang out on air. Sometimes he’d stay to anchor part of the show, taking phone calls from unsuspecting fans that were beside themselves when they called into “Dialed In” and Edwards was on the other end of the line. There was a time that “Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 99” might very well have been “Carl Edwards, long-haul driver” transporting cargo on the long and winding open highway. “I don’t know what the statute of limita-tions is but I did do a little bit of driving a truck. I don’t have my CDL, so I don’t know if that was legal or not,” Edwards told me with a grin. Edwards, who is one of the elite

drivers in NASCAR and can shift through road courses at 120-plus mph, admits it was not so easy driving a big rig. “I can tell you though the times that I’ve driven semi, those guys are really, really good at matching gears so the shifting is ... (difficult),” says Edwards. “There are times where I had to stop and start over from neu-tral to first gear because I couldn’t get it from third to fourth or fourth to fifth, so those guys, they do a really good job. “I actually studied a little bit to get my CDL,” Edwards says, “but then I found out they wouldn’t hire unless you were 25 or something and I was 21 years old. I’ve read the book and I’m somewhat familiar with what those guys have to do to get the CDL but I mean driving down the road ... I understand. I got a lot of friends that are truckers and being away from their fami-lies all the time, having the responsibility of driving down the road with thousands and thousands of pounds of cargo and being safe, I really have a lot of respect for the men and women that transfer goods all over the country via the trucks.” Mark Martin’s dad owned a trucking company and he put him behind the big wheel at a young age. Dale Earnhardt Sr. wanted to race another hauler driver from Rockingham, N.C., to Charlotte after a race and the owner had him delayed in the ga-rage – to avoid a bumper-to-bumper big-rig race through the North Carolina hills. As you watch NASCAR races and visu-alize from the open highway what it would be like to be a racecar driver, you should know that these guys have a respect and fas-cination with what you do behind the wheel too.

Former President Bill Clinton said it best when campaigning in 1991 with his slogan “It’s The Economy, Stupid.” It wasn’t really a revelation, as the economy is an issue in every presi-

dential campaign, even in times of economic growth. And this year is no different. Both presidential candidates have devoted much of their campaign to defending and promot-ing their economic policies and proposals. While this is important, it’s Congress we should all be keeping a close eye on now. A policy divide of monumental propor-tions exists between what the Senate Demo-crats and the House Republicans want to do with regard to the so-called Bush tax cuts and the automatic spending cuts agreed to last year. What does this mean for the coun-try? It means a significant – very significant – chunk of the nation’s economy will take a hit. It means $7 trillion of economic impact in the form of tax increases and spending cuts go into effect beginning in January 2013. Do you remember the budget debate from earlier this year? It’s the one where Re-publicans and Democrats “compromised” for the good of the country and allowed the government to stay open. Within that compromise are automatic budget cuts for 2013 in the form of $55 billion from defense spending and $55 billion in non-defense spending. For non-defense, think of items like food inspection, air travel safety and highways. Whether or not you agree with the current size of the government, imagine the impact of cutting $1.2 billion. Those dol-lar figures equal jobs – not only for govern-ment employees, but private contractors and more. Those employees spend money on the items your truck delivers. Could there be a ripple effect? Then, of course, there are the Bush tax cuts. These are popular fodder for all poli-ticians, especially during an election year. They expire on Dec. 31, 2012. If left to expire, income taxes automatically rise 3 percent to

5 percent for all tax brackets. Given the cur-rent state of the economy and all things as-sociated with it (think fuel prices), can you afford the additional income tax? But it’s not just the income tax that is im-pacted. The capital gains tax rises, the child tax credit is reduced, the earned income tax credit is affected, the marriage penalty is back, the alternative minimum tax is in-creased, and the list goes on. Oh, and if you look at your paycheck you will always see money deducted for the Social Security tax. If the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire the rate goes from 4.2 percent back to 6.2 per-cent. So why isn’t Congress working to avoid the “fiscal cliff”? Well, they are – the parties are just working in different directions. This is an election year, after all; instead of dealing with the real issues, those running for office prefer to toy with our economic future. The Republican-controlled House of Representa-tives passed a one-year extension of the Bush tax cuts for everyone already, but the Demo-crat-controlled Senate wants them extended only for those earning under $250,000. It’s time for the rhetoric to stop and so-lutions to be found. The reality, however, is there will be no compromise prior to the November elections and anything after that would be just short of miraculous. This is a lame-duck Congress and it is the next Con-gress that will be forced to compromise and climb back up the cliff (if it isn’t too late). Republicans and Democrats will ulti-mately find a solution, probably something similar to what they have done in the past – present a short-term (one-year) compromise bill and tell the public they are working on a long-term solution. That is what they did last time. The only difference now is this is an election year. As much as I enjoy politics, I am not con-vinced the U.S. economy is strong enough to participate in these games.

a purple magnetic ribbon on the back of an SUV caught my eye the other day. I’ve seen thousands of them on the road but usually in a different color. I know the yel-

low ribbon means you support the troops and a pink one supports breast cancer awareness, but the purple one had me stumped, so I looked it up on the Internet. Apparently, the purple ribbon is to raise awareness of animal cruelty, domestic violence, pancreatic cancer, drug overdose and the orca whale, as well as Workers’ Memorial Day. I had no idea one color could represent so many things. I wonder which one the SUV owner was supporting. Heck, maybe it was all of them. There are a whole slew of colored ribbons for causes I’ve never heard of. A zebra print ribbon supports carcinoid tumor awareness, a blue ribbon draws attention to osteogenesis

imperfecta (better known as brittle bone dis-ease), and a green ribbon represents craniosyn-ostosis awareness. And if those don’t convince you that there is a ribbon for everything, a teal ribbon helps celebrate National Zombie Apoca-lypse Awareness in May. For all of these examples, I had to look them up (and then I had to go look up the medical definitions), which got me wondering, if some-one has to go look up the meaning of a rib-bon, is it really having any impact? There are so many ribbons out there now that most people see one, wonder what it represents for a few seconds and then forget about it. I know I do. Many of the ribbons you can just buy at a store and while I’m sure the troops like to see the yellow ribbons supporting their sacrifice, I bet they would appreciate a phone card to call home while on deployment a whole lot more. And if both items are about the same price,

which one do you think is money better spent? We all have causes that are close to our heart. My family has been affected by breast cancer and diabetes. I just think the money people spend on the ribbons could be bet-ter spent helping to find a cure for a disease. Makes you wonder if the companies that make the ribbons donate a portion of profits to the causes their ribbons are trying to raise aware-ness for. I’m sure there are a handful that do, but I’d be willing to bet a lot don’t. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-ribbon. I had a pink breast cancer ribbon when my mom went through chemotherapy. And maybe that’s why the ribbons are so popular: They’re a re-minder of our loved ones’ (or even our own) struggles and successes. I may even run out and get the teal ribbon now. After all, zombie awareness is an important cause.

Ghosts, ghouls, spiders and the things that live under the bed; we all hunt for the thing that will scare the neighborhood kids when they come trick or treating. That’s just

good Halloween fun. In honor of All Hal-low’s Eve, we decided to highlight some of the most thrilling haunted spots in the U.S. and give ourselves (and maybe you as well) a good scare.

WEST viRgiNiA StAte peNIteNtIAryMOORESviLLE, W.vA. This prison housed thousands of inmates, and many met their deaths in the gallows or the electric chair. It’s no surprise then that this place is haunted by spirits from the grave. Now you can wander too, if you’re brave enough. It’s open year-round (except holidays) Tuesday through Sun-day. Want to really have a scare? Try the overnight tour for $60. From 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. you’re left to your own devices in the prison. Yikes. www.wvpentours.com

WiNCHESTER MySTERy HOuSESAN JOSE, CALif.In 1884, Sarah Winchester moved from Connecticut to California and proceeded to build a home for the next 38 years. As the legend holds, Sarah was grieving from the death of her husband, manufacturer of the revolutionary Winchester repeating rifle, and her young daughter. Desperate for answers and believing she was being haunted by evil spirits, Sarah visited a medium who told her that she was being haunted by all the victims of her husband’s rifle and the only way to appease the spir-its was to move west and build a house. As long as construction never stopped, the medium assured her, she would be safe from the hauntings. At the time of Sarah’s death in 1922,

the house contained 160 rooms, 2,000 doors, 10,000 windows and 47 stairways sprawled over six acres of land. The house is said to be haunted by not only the victims of the infamous rifle but also the spirits of her servants who reportedly still roam the halls. The house is a maze, with staircases leading to nowhere, count-less secret rooms and doors that open to a sudden two-story drop. The house is open for tours but be careful not to wander off. You may never find your way out. www.winchestermysteryhouse.com

tHe copper QUeeN HoteLBiSBEE, ARiz. Next time you’re in Bisbee, try staying at the Copper Queen for a night. You might meet one of the three ghosts that haunt the hotel during your stay. Perhaps it will be the older gentleman who is usually seen with a top hat and cape, and tends to ap-pear in doorways bringing the smell of a good cigar with him. Or maybe you’ll meet Julia, a lady of the night who fell in love with one of her clients. When he rejected her, she took her own life. More likely, though, you’ll meet the spirit of a young boy who drowned in the nearby river. He tends to be very mischievous and likes to move people’s belongings around. www.copperqueen.com

Moore HoUSeviLLiSCA, iOWAOn the night of June 10, 1910, eight people were murdered between midnight and 6 a.m. in the Moore House. The crime was never solved. Now, 100 years later, the house is open to the public for tours. Go in a skeptic, come out a believer. The spir-its of the eight victims supposedly haunt the house, but they don’t mean any harm. It’s the spirit of the killer that you should probably avoid. www.villiscaiowa.com

Montana miles, It’s all that I can do To keep from thinking of you Every day. Montana miles Just won’t take this pain away. We started out so young and freeWith big dreams in our hearts. Our love was shared beneath these rolling hills. Our love was strong, our life was full We thought we had it all. But Montana couldn’t break my stubborn will.

Montana miles, makes me think of you. Montana miles,It’s all that I can doTo keep from thinking of you Every day. Montana miles Just won’t take this pain away. Just cruising down this interstate,This tired and lonely life. I know this job has cost me precious time. I couldn’t see the pain it caused When I was not around. I wasn’t there to share this heart of mine.

Montana miles, makes me think of you. Montana miles,It’s all that I can do To keep from thinking of you Every day. Montana miles Just won’t take this pain away. There’s no sense looking backwards at things that might have been. You’re gone and I just live on with regret. I wish that I’d stayed here with you In this wind-swept grassy land, But the road just pulled me back and holds me yet.

Montana miles, makes me think of you. Montana miles,It’s all that I can do To keep from thinking of you Every day. Montana miles Just won’t take this pain away.

the LIFE OF A SQUIRRELSquirrel on a sign post Over ten feet highHow did it get there? So why did it dieGather all the nuts Always in a hurryGot to store them up Soon the snow flurrySeventeen acorns Only one peanutAll stuffed in his cheeks His mouth will not shutCrossing high wires Whatever it takesMust feed his kids Can’t afford mistakesJump through the treetops Grabbing onto sticksOne little false move Fall down to the bricksNeed not start to cry Please stop your weeping He worked very hard May be just sleeping

BY: RICK HARDY

On the RoadThe wind digs his fingers deep into the rabbit’s soft fur and Gently brushes the petals of the field flowers. Rabbit do-si-dos with the sagebrush And the yellow lines of the highway disappear beneath the belly of the semi. The swan’s featherless wings are lifted in perpetual flight on the hood Of the Pete. The engine rumbles and hungrily swallows Miles of asphalt. The trailer creaks and groans, Shouldering the burden of the load. The hand of the crane lifts the cargo until the trailer is empty once again. The tractor is bathed in the wash bay, The tanks guzzle diesel until satiated. Once again, the tires caress the road, ready for a new day, a new load.

HOW TO PLAY: The Japanese puzzle “Su-doku” tests reasoning and logic. To solve the puzzle, fill in the grid above so every row, every column and every 3-block by 3-block box con-tains the digits 1 through 9. That means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box. No math is needed. The grid has num-bers, but nothing has to equal anything else. Answers are published in the next issue of Challenge Magazine.

JUDy JOHNSON DICKSON, TNA customer said, “Judy was cleaning the showers and in 35 years of driving this was the cleanest shower I have ever been in. Judy takes pride in her work and is so clean. Then she was asking if we needed anything else – towels, wash-cloths. She needs to be recognized for the great job she is doing. I appreciate the wonderful and clean shower I had for a change. Please let them know she is the best.”
