Fire destroys Columbus home Tuesday nightby Leah Justice

Fire destroyed a home on Amy Lane in Columbus Tuesday, March 20. The house was fully engulfed in flames shortly after firefighters received the call.

Columbus Fire Chief Bobby Arledge said the fire department

received the call around 9 p.m. and because he lives nearby, he was the first to arrive on scene.

“When I came out my door you could see the glow in the sky,” Arledge said. “It was so far involved when we got there, there was no way we could save

it. We couldn’t even get close to the door.”

Arledge said within the first 6 to 8 minutes after his arrival, the house had fallen in.

The house, a wooden A-frame

home located at 260 Amy Lane off Smith Dairy Road, belonged to Colleen Abril. She lived there with her teenage son, Davie, who came home Tuesday evening, found the house on fire and called 911.

No one was at home at the time of the fire. The family had seven dogs, all of which got out safely, according to family members.

Arledge said firefighters were in defense mode throughout fight-ing the fire and had to depend on tankers because of the location. The house is located at the end of a one-way drive across a small bridge. Arledge said the depart-ment finally got two trucks across the bridge. Tankers had to make trips throughout the evening to the nearest fire hydrant, located almost three miles from the house.

The exact cause of the fire was unknown as of press time. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is in-vestigating the fire, assisted by the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) Fire and Arson Investigative Unit. The Abrils are not suspected of having any involvement in the fire, officials said.

The Columbus Fire Department

was back on scene early Wednes-day, March 21 to extinguish hot spots at the house. Smoke was still billowing from the ruins as of Wednesday afternoon. The SBI was also there collecting evidence.

The Columbus Fire Depart-ment was assisted by fire depart-ments from Green Creek, Mill Spring and Tryon, along with the

Polk County EMS, Polk County Rescue Squad, the Polk County American Red Cross and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. The res-cue squad used its ATVs Tuesday night to get workers and supplies to the fire.

“It was so far involved when we got there, there was no way we could save it. We couldn’t even get close to the door.”

Alley resigns as Harmon Field Parks and Rec. Supervisorby Leah Justice

Tryon Town Council on Tues-day, March 20 accepted the res-ignation of Harmon Field Parks and Recreation Supervisor George Alley.

Alley, who was hired in May 2008, held the position almost four years. He recently filed to run for N.C. House of Represen-tatives District 113 seat and was suspended from his employment by the town because of a person-nel policy that restricts employees from running as candidates in partisan elections.

Tryon Town Council initially had on its agenda for March 20 an item to discuss changing the per-sonnel policy, but council removed the item from the agenda after learning of Alley’s resignation.

Alley said he felt resigning was the right thing to do at this time.

“I felt it was the right decision to move forward,” Alley said. “I’m going to try to go back to school and get an intern this summer, and work on the campaign.”

Alley (D) will face the winner of the upcoming Republican pri-mary between Trudi Walend, who

was appointed to the seat last year, and Chris Whitmire. The District 113 seat represents Polk, Hender-son and Transylvania counties.

If Alley hadn’t resigned, under the current personnel policy, Alley would have remained suspended until the election. The town’s public works director would have assumed his duties during the suspension.

Tryon Town Council plans to discuss the position during a bud-get workshop scheduled for this Saturday, March 24 beginning at 9 a.m. at the Tryon Fire Department. george alley

Author Alther to speak at AAUW meeting March 26

At the AAUW meeting on Monday, March 26 at 1:30 p.m., Lisa Alther will discuss her latest book, “Washed in the Blood,” a multigenerational fictional history of a family that would probably have been labeled “Melungeons” in the 19th century.

The Melungeons have been the focus of anthropologists, social scientists and feature writers for magazines and newspapers for more than a century. They have been described as a group of tri-ra-cial, mixed ethnicity people who, it is speculated, may have come to America before the English. They settled primarily in the southeast-ern Appalachians and along the Atlantic seaboard. Their mixed ancestry caused them to be left out of English history books and they were not widely accepted by the communities in which they lived.

Alther’s book, while never

specifically mentioning the Me-lungeons, tells her version of how these mysterious people came to North America and what happened to them as the United States began to take shape.

Alther has written six novels, a memoir and many short stories and articles. She earned a B.A. in English Literature from Wellesley College. “Blood Feud,” her his-tory of the Hatfield-McCoy feud, will be published in May. Her short story collection, “Stormy Weather and Other Stories,” will be published in September. She divides her time among East Tennessee, New York City and Vermont.

The meeting will be held at the Tryon Presbyterian fellowship hall and is open to the public. Re-freshments will be served.

Polk County!

Most people agree with the historical records which state that Jesus of Nazareth lived as an im-portant historical figure. Unlike other writings of that time, there are still more than 5,000 com-plete or nearly complete original manuscripts still intact that document the life and times of Jesus. Those documents refer to the events before and after His death, including state-ments by people who say they saw Him alive after His crucifixion. Also, there are approximately 300 events in the New Testa-ment concerning Jesus that precisely fulfill the

Old Testament prophesies about the coming Messiah.

Many people believe Jesus was a great prophet. Have you ever read for yourself about who He claimed to be? He said, many times in front of many people things like, “I am God; I am the ful-fillment of the prophesies about the Messiah; I am the only way to God; I and the Father are one; I am without sin and I can forgive sins.”

The scriptures state that when He was on trial, they could find no fault in him except that he blasphemed God by his claims.

I don’t know about you, but I find it difficult to deal with people on an ego trip. Have you ever met some-one, no matter what the topic of conversation, who says they’ve done it all, bigger, better and faster?

What about the fantastic claims that Jesus made? The reaction of the people of Jesus’ day was so posi-tive and enthusiastic that He was often surrounded by crowds. The only way His ministry could be stopped was to silence Him by death. Even that didn’t stop the world wide spread of his teachings. Witnesses believed the things he said and saw the compassion he

What do you think? • Ego trip(continued from page 8)


demonstrated by miracles, healings and meeting their needs.

How could he have been a “good” prophet while making such extraordi-nary claims? Either He was insane, a liar or truly was God incarnate (in per-son). Who do you think He is?

Here is a story about how a little boy came to understand Jesus.

Little Joey received “just what he always wanted” for Christmas. An ant farm! He loved his ants. The colony grew and by spring he found a sandy, sunny place near the road side to release them. Ev-ery day he watched them with fascination. One day

Joey saw a big trenching machine coming down the road and it was heading straight for his ants!

He ran to his mother in tears. “Mommy, I waved and yelled and did ev-erything I could to warn my ants and lead them to safety, but they just can’t understand me! Oh, how I wish I could turn myself into an ant and then I could talk to them!”

Joey’s mom hugged him close, her tears of compassion mingling with little Joey’s. She softly said, “That is how God felt when people long ago would not listen to Him. Now you know why Jesus came.”

Who do you say He is?

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongue’s roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all

taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascar’s primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemur’s natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

A speCiAl thAnk You to All our sponsors!

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

Most people agree with the historical records which state that Jesus of Nazareth lived as an im-portant historical figure. Unlike other writings of that time, there are still more than 5,000 com-plete or nearly complete original manuscripts still intact that document the life and times of Jesus. Those documents refer to the events before and after His death, including state-ments by people who say they saw Him alive after His crucifixion. Also, there are approximately 300 events in the New Testa-ment concerning Jesus that precisely fulfill the

Old Testament prophesies about the coming Messiah.

Many people believe Jesus was a great prophet. Have you ever read for yourself about who He claimed to be? He said, many times in front of many people things like, “I am God; I am the ful-fillment of the prophesies about the Messiah; I am the only way to God; I and the Father are one; I am without sin and I can forgive sins.”

The scriptures state that when He was on trial, they could find no fault in him except that he blasphemed God by his claims.

I don’t know about you, but I find it difficult to deal with people on an ego trip. Have you ever met some-one, no matter what the topic of conversation, who says they’ve done it all, bigger, better and faster?

What about the fantastic claims that Jesus made? The reaction of the people of Jesus’ day was so posi-tive and enthusiastic that He was often surrounded by crowds. The only way His ministry could be stopped was to silence Him by death. Even that didn’t stop the world wide spread of his teachings. Witnesses believed the things he said and saw the compassion he

What do you think? • Ego trip(continued from page 8)


demonstrated by miracles, healings and meeting their needs.

How could he have been a “good” prophet while making such extraordi-nary claims? Either He was insane, a liar or truly was God incarnate (in per-son). Who do you think He is?

Here is a story about how a little boy came to understand Jesus.

Little Joey received “just what he always wanted” for Christmas. An ant farm! He loved his ants. The colony grew and by spring he found a sandy, sunny place near the road side to release them. Ev-ery day he watched them with fascination. One day

Joey saw a big trenching machine coming down the road and it was heading straight for his ants!

He ran to his mother in tears. “Mommy, I waved and yelled and did ev-erything I could to warn my ants and lead them to safety, but they just can’t understand me! Oh, how I wish I could turn myself into an ant and then I could talk to them!”

Joey’s mom hugged him close, her tears of compassion mingling with little Joey’s. She softly said, “That is how God felt when people long ago would not listen to Him. Now you know why Jesus came.”

Who do you say He is?

The Smithsonian Institute Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

Four Polk County High School female athletes traveled to New York to compete Friday, March 9 in the New Balance Indoor Track Nationals held at the Armory.

Seniors Re-becca Elliott , M a r y K a t e Christiansen, Casey McDowell and Autumn Miller, a sophomore at PCHS, finished 28th in the nation in the 4x400 meter relay event (4:08.94). This was the first time a Polk County High relay team has met the national qualifying standards to attend. The team competed under the name Polk County Track Stars.

Elliott also qualified and

competed in the 400-meter dash, finishing 37th overall in 59.94. Many community contributors offered support to finance the trip, which allowed the girls to visit various historical sites

and attractions throughout New York and New

Jersey. The overall experience provided growth and enlighten-ment to four of Polk County’s brightest student-athletes. Mc-Dowell has signed a letter of intent to run for Brevard Col-lege next fall. Elliott will attend Clemson, and Christiansen will attend NC State.

I feel like writing some more about water. I have told you about my grandfather T. A. Rippy’s Piney Mountain Spring Water company that supplied the Valley, Harmon Field and Lynn areas. The water was delivered by gravity so there were no pumps involved. It was so pure that no treatment was required, either. I grew up drinking pure water and raw Jersey milk. They taste different from what we drink today.

I also wrote in times past about how good water tastes when lifted from a dug well by a bucket. It was also pure and untreated, coming from the underground aquifer. Drinking from a spring is a similar experience . . . the water is pure and its cool temperature is “just right.” My Aunt Georgia’s family farm had a bold spring and her father had built a “spring house” to keep the milk and butter cool. The “house” was there to keep animals out!

I never did like the taste of the

pumped in well water or of the chlorine in “city water.” We now live in “The Woods” off Hayes Road and have Columbus city water. I am thankful that we don’t have to have a private well, but we are not thrilled by the water we get. They warn us when they are going to flush things, so we don’t let wa-ter into the house until it runs clear from the first outside faucet. Standing clear water leaves a brown ring, so I really don’t know what I am drink-ing now . . . maybe I am getting my “iron” ration in every glass!

As members of the Columbus Lions Club, Fran and I are well versed in the issues involved in blindness. Helen Keller charged the fledgling Lions organization to become “Knights of the Blind,” so that became the primary focus of Lions around the world. We are trying to prevent blindness as well

Water, water . . . everywhere? as helping those who are visually impaired already. In some areas of the world there is something called “river blindness” caused by swimming in the river. The Lions are vaccinating children by the hundreds to prevent their going blind before they are even grown.

There is increasing aware-ness here of the importance of protecting watershed lands. It

seems to me that everybody lives on somebody else’s watershed. The arguments are still going on about Polk

County buying Lake Adger as a water supply, thus making some land in Henderson County a “watershed.” Those affected see their land decreasing in value if it cannot be “developed.”

We cannot all drink water from an aquifer, so many must drink surface water, which is “polluted” by all manner of things and there-fore must be “treated.” Even some wells tap into water that is loaded

with minerals naturally from the earth around it.

In admiring photos of the new bridge just completed downstream of Hoover Dam, I noticed that Lake Mead is down about 130 feet. In reading up on that, I find that it is not likely ever to refill completely! That means people are using more water than the river can provide. It also means that the dam cannot generate the power it once did since there is so much less “fall” available. I suppose that southern California is now burn-ing a lot more natural gas to make their electricity. I don’t know what they are doing for water!

As I wrote earlier, “some need oil, but all need water.” We may find a substitute for oil, but I un-derstand that all life depends on water and there is no substitute for it. The quest for potable water is becoming futile in some places. Be ye thankful if you have a de-pendable supply of good water, as many do not, and more will not as world population continues to increase.

A grant from the Polk County Community Foundation enabled the Children’s Theater Festival to purchase new footlights, overhead lights and truss frames, a follow spot and sound equipment to use at the two parish hall performance venues and the movie theater during Super Saturday. Here Elvin Clark adjusts one of the lights on the new truss structure at the Congregational Church while Mike Carruth and his teenage crew assist. (photo submitted by Connie Clark)

Rotary to conduct Fabulous 4th Bike Tour

Also known as Frogmore Stew or Beaufort Boil, Low Country Boil is traditionally as-sociated with the coastal areas of South Carolina and Georgia, but some members of Foothills Community Chapel have de-cided to bring it to the foothills of North Carolina.

The event, which will benefit local resident L. Colleen Decker, will be Friday, March 23 at 6 p.m. at Foothills Community Chapel on Landrum Road east of I-26. It will feature the Low Country Boil, with shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob and new red potatoes, as well as coleslaw and homemade dinner rolls served with Amish butter and muscadine jam and a des-sert buffet.

Another highlight of the evening will be guest speakers Joe Land from Charleston and Frank Zecher from Atlanta, who will share information about the health benefits of the muscadine grape, including scientific re-search done by a major North Carolina university on how the

muscadine seed affects cancer cells.

Decker, who has been a resi-dent of South and North Caroli-na for the past 18 years, is lately referred to affectionately by friends and family as the “lady with nine lives.” Being devoted to nursing in one way or another most of her 63 years of life, whether it be her family of seven children or in the workplace, she has been actively involved in the community in home health, St. Luke’s Hospital, Autumn Care of Saluda, Habitat for Humanity, therapeutic foster care and her most recent nursing job – caring for her handicapped husband and son.

Decker has recently expe-rienced a series of medical problems. In the beginning of October 2011 she suffered a stroke and then underwent a surgical brain procedure.

Later that month she was involved in a vehicle accident and ended up in the hospital again with blood clots. Then, on Sunday, March 11, she col-

Low Country Boil fundraiser March 23, benefit local residentlapsed, was again hospitalized, then suffered a heart attack during the night. Since having a stent put in, she is “feeling better than she has in a long time,” in her words.

Her granddaughter Kezia said, “The way I would describe Pama, she will give and give even when you would think she has nothing left. Those of us who know her well say, absolutely, ‘Giving’ is her middle name. We are thankful she’s still here, keeping us in stitches with her latest escapades, and living out the rest of those nine lives with all she’s got.”

Tickets can be purchased at the following locations: Door of Hope Ministry, New For You Re-Use It Shop, Stott’s Ford, Dutch Country Whole Foods and Foothills Amish Furniture. Tickets must be purchased in ad-vance and presented at the door.

For further details on the event, call Roger Helmuth at 828-817-0380.
