You Always Have The Right To Choose Who Takes Care Of You The deadline to file in the Shelby-Rail-Trail settlement is August 4. After this date, Cleve- land County landowners will be barred from making a claim. In late April, the United States Court of Federal Claims found in favor of three Cleveland County landowners, Jerry L. Allen, Kathy T. Dillow, and Settle Enterprises, LLC. The three plaintiffs said they were deprived their property which the Federal Government sold to the City of Shelby for the Rail-Trail conversion without just compensation. Two other plaintiffs have since been included in the de- cision. The US Court of Federal Claims determined that, under the terms of the easements that created this right-of-way and North Caro- lina law, Norfolk Southern did not have the ability to convert this abandoned railroad corridor into a public linear park. The situation began when the federal government issued an order that preempted North Carolina law and allowed Norfolk Southern Railroad to sell its right-of-way to the City of Shelby to build a rec- reational trail. This order resulted in the taking of many properties in Cleveland County. The Federal Circuit held the federal government's liability in a Trails Act taking is established under a three-point analysis. • Who owns the strip of land involved, specifically, whether the railroad acquired only an easement or obtained a fee simple estate; • If the railroad acquired only an easement, were the terms of the easement limited to use for rail- road purposes, or did they include future use as a public recreational trail (scope of the easement); and • Even if the grant of the rail- road's easement was broad enough to encompass a recreational trail, had this easement terminated prior to the alleged taking so that the property owner at the time held a fee simple unencumbered by the easement (abandonment of the easement). The five defendants are rep- resented by Meghan Largent and Lindsay Brinton of law firm Lewis Rice represents landowners across the country to pursue their Fifth Amendment Takings claims against the federal government. If you believe the federal gov- ernment took your property for the Rail Trail, the Just Compensation Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution requires the fed- eral government to pay these own- ers for what the government took. "The statute of limitations for filing a claim for compensation for the Shelby Rail-Trail conver- sion is August 4, 2021. After that date adjacent landowners will be barred from filing a claim for the compensation due for the taking of private property by the federal government.

Clock is ticking for those eligible for Shelby-Rail-Trail land settlement Physical activity is vital to over- all health. The World Health Orga- nization says limiting time spent being idle and taking advantage of opportunities to get moving — even if it's just a little bit of exercise — can go a long way toward improv- ing overall health. In November 2020, the WHO released new exercise guidelines for people of all ages. Adults should get between 150 and 300 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous aero- bic activity, and that includes older adults and those with chronic con- ditions or disabilities. Individuals with limited mobil- ity due to age or preexisting medi- cal conditions may wonder how they can meet the guidelines for ex- ercise. Those with chronic pain or illness sometimes find that exercis- ing for more than a few minutes can be challenging. Even brief periods of exercise can pay dividends, and there are various approaches people can take to work around mobility and other issues. Explore chair exercises Just because you are seated doesn't mean you can't get a work- out in. Seated chair exercises can work various muscle groups. Seated arm rows, tummy twists, overhead arm raises, hand squeezes with a tennis ball, inner thigh squeezes, leg lifts and extensions, and many other exercises can be customized to be performed in a chair. Work out in the water Exercising in the water can assist with movement and reduce strain on the body. The Arthritis Foundation says the water's buoy- ancy supports body weight, which minimizes stress on joints and can alleviate pain. Water provides gentle resistance as well — up to 12 times the resistance of air. That means it's possible to build strength and muscle even just walking or swimming around a pool. Use resistance bands Resistance bands are like giant rubber bands that can be used to build up strength and flexibility. Resistance bands are effective, low- cost gear that can offer high-impact results for building muscle, staying fit and increasing mobility. Resis- tance bands can be used in lieu of hand weights for many exercises and be ideal for those who find bar- bells and dumbbells are challenging to maneuver. Mind-body exercises are an op- tion Elder Gym®, a fitness from home service for seniors, suggests exercises like Tai Chi and yoga for those with limited mobility. These exercises integrate awareness of body movement with the exercise through coordinated breathing. The exercises encourage people to focus on slow, fluid movements and deep stretching. Seniors and others with limited mobility are advised to first discuss fitness regimens with a physician to get a green light to proceed. Then exercise regimens can be started gradually and altered to become more vigorous as the body accli- mates to exercise. Increase dura- tion and frequency as strength and endurance builds.
