Bryant H. Womack portrait unveiled in Columbusby Samantha Hurst

Though Bryant H. Womack died in the Korean War 60 years ago, his service to the country resonated strongly in Columbus on Wednesday, July 4.

County officials honored the soldier during the Colum-bus Fabulous Fourth event by unveiling a commissioned portrait of Womack. The por-trait, painted by Rich Nelson of Tryon, will hang in the county building originally named after Womack in 1998. Alongside the portrait will hang the flag that draped over his coffin when he was buried at Lebanon Methodist Church in 1952.

“He was a true example of a hero,” Polk County Commis-sion Chair Ray Gasperson said

Drought has re-turned to Polk County and other areas of North and South Carolina for the first time in more than a month, according to the N.C. Department of Environment and

Natural Resources. The dry conditions are the result of record-breaking temperatures and below normal rainfall. Although the area has had numerous brief thunderstorms, they have not resulted in significant rainfall.

Passerby aids Polk sheriff’s office in larceny arrestSheriff’s office arrests three following chaseby Leah Justice

While traveling on Lake Adger Road in the Sunny View community on Monday, July 2, a passerby noticed a man climbing out a resident’s window carrying a television, according to Polk County Sheriff’s Office reports. The reports said the passerby made the emergency call and continued to follow the suspects, who droppred the television and

fled the scene.Officers caught up with the

vehicle and chased the suspects on several roads until the vehicle wrecked along Big Level Road, hitting a stop sign and a ditch. The sheriff’s office reports that three suspects fled the vehicle on foot, with officer Jared Mc-Falls immediately subduing one suspect. The two other suspects were apprehended a short time later.

The sheriff’s office also dis-covered the vehicle the suspects were driving, a 2012 Nissan Sentra, was reported stolen out

of Womack. Womack is the only Polk

County resident ever to receive the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration bestowed upon a United States citizen. He is one of only 3,459 peo-ple given the honor across the country to date.

A n a t i v e son, Womack grew up in Sunny View and attended Sunny View School. After graduation, he worked as a farm laborer. In fact, his older sister, Rachel Elliot, who attended the cer-emony on July 4, said the day he answered his draft call to the army he had worked until noon

plowing fields. He was drafted as a private

first class into the Korean War in 1950.

While in Korea, Womack served as a medic with the 14th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infan-try Division. His job was to take

care of his fel-low wounded soldiers and he took that duty to heart, said Elliot.

On March 1 2 , 1 9 5 2 , W o m a c k ’ s

regiment engaged in a firefight near Sokso-ri, Korea. As the unit began taking heavy casual-ties, Womack exposed himself to enemy fire in efforts to save the wounded. During that time Womack himself was wounded

The portrait of Bryant H. Womack, created by Rich Nelson of Tryon, was unveiled at a dedication ceremony Wednesday, July 4. It will hang in the Womack Building in Columbus.

but refused treatment as he continued his duties. He once again was shot as he worked to give medical attention, this time losing his right arm.

Despite all of these injuries, Womack was the last man to withdraw from engagement. He walked away from the battlefield only to collapse from loss of blood. Womack died, just two months shy of his 21st birthday, as fellow soldiers car-ried him away.

Elliot said receiving the news of her brother’s death back in 1952 hit her family hard. Womack was one of four sons born to George and Julie Womack of Sunny View.

“One of the soldiers he helped save was his lieutenant. His lieutenant promised if he

ever got back to North Carolina he would look our parents up, and he did,” Elliot said.

Elliot said the unveiling of th is por-trait and the naming of a county build-ing in memory o f Wo m a c k wou ld have humbled her brother.

“He would n e v e r h a v e imagined all of this being done in his honor,” s a id E l l i o t . “[The portrait and building in his honor] means a lot, it all does, but all this won’t bring him back.”

The president of the United States awarded Womack the Medal of Honor posthumously

• Womack portrait(Continued From page 1)

on Jan. 12, 1953. The citation from his award includes these statements:

“Pfc. Womack distinguished h i m s e l f b y c o n s p i c u -ous gallantry above and be-yond the call of duty in ac-tion against the enemy… The extraor-dinary hero-ism, outstand-ing courage, and unswerv-ing devotion to his duties displayed by

Pfc. Womack reflect the utmost distinction upon himself and uphold the esteemed traditions of the U.S. Army.”

The county last winter com-missioned artist Rich Nelson

to create Womack’s portrait as a means of furthering area resident’s understanding of who Womack was and what he did for his country.

Nelson said he felt honored to capture Womack’s likeness.

“There was very little to go on – in fact just a single portrait of him. I worked hard to give him a look that was appropriate for the valor he showed but that also remained true to his per-sonality as well,” Nelson said.

He said he was pleased to hear from Elliot that the portrait “looked just like him before he entered the army.”

The Womack name is used as the moniker for many other structures around the country including gymnasiums, bridges and streets. The most notable of structures bearing his name is the Womack Army Medical Center at Fort Bragg, N.C.

“There was very little to go on – in fact just a single portrait of him. I worked hard to give him a look that was appropriate for the valor he showed but that also remained true to his personality as well.”

Tryon approves new restrictions on RV livingOrdinance prevents living in travel trailersby Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon has amended its zoning ordinance to restrict residents from living in travel trailers/recreational vehicles.

Tryon Town Council met June 19 and held a public hearing and approved the amendment.

New text added to the residen-tial use section of Tryon’s zon-ing ordinance says recreational vehicles are permitted as a tem-porary single family dwelling in districts that permit travel trailer parking areas, but recreational or travel trailers shall not be used as a single family dwelling on an individual lot or in conjunction with a primary residence on an individual lot.

“Recreational or travel trailers may be used only on privately

owned property, in any residen-tial district, to host out-of-town visitors during temporary visits aggregating no more than thirty (30) days during any twelve (12) month period, and no more than fourteen (14) days consecutive-ly,” states the amendment.

Interim town manager Joey Davis said the new text basi-cally says the town understands situations like family members coming to stay on a temporary basis but the town does not want recreational or travel trailers be-ing used on a permanent basis.

Town officials said there are some incidences in town cur-rently where people are allegedly living in recreational or travel trailers.

Councilman George Baker said the ordinance does not state anything about the travel trailers being “self-contained.”

Council decided to adopt the draft and send it back to the plan-ning board for fine-tuning.

Polk sheriff’s office weekly reportDuring the week of June 25

through July 1, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office answered 356 service calls.

Officers issued nine cita-tions, took four incident re-ports, patrolled 6,104 miles and conducted 265 church checks, 70 residential checks and 480 business checks.

Arrests included one for simple possession of a sched-ule II controlled substance; three arrests for assault; two

arrests for assault on a female; one arrest for resist, delay and obstruct an officer; one arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia; one arrest for failure to comply warrant and one arrest for possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver a schedule VI controlled substance and maintaining a ve-hicle/dwelling for a controlled substance.

The N.C. legislature has ap-proved an accommodations tax increase in Henderson County that will be used to support Flat Rock Playhouse.

The N.C. House approved a bill this week to raise the county’s accommodations tax from 5 percent to 6 percent. The additional revenue will be allo-cated to the nonprofit playhouse for two years.

N.C. Senator Tom Apodaca of Hendersonville said he’s gained assurances from leaders at the playhouse that the tax revenue will be used effectively.

H e n d e r s o n County commis-sioners voted in May to request the tax hike. Despite increased subscription sales and higher enrollment in camps and classes over the past couple years, the playhouse is still recovering from a “difficult” 2010, when the nonprofit took on signifi-cant capital improvements and revenue slumped, according to Bill McKibbon, president of the Playhouse board of trust-ees. He said the funds from the higher lodging tax will help the recovery.

Henderson County commis-sioner Larry Young, an opponent of the tax hike, said he believes the Playhouse has struggled be-cause of poor business manage-ment. Apodaca acknowledged that some of the Playhouse’s issues “may be self inflicted,” but he believes the economy had a greater impact and it’s impor-tant to support the biggest tourist draw in the county.

***State regulators in North

Carolina and South Carolina have approved the $32 billion merger of Duke Energy and Progress Energy.

The approval of Duke’s pur-chase of Progress Energy came 18 months after it was initially

proposed. The merger was de-layed after federal regulators said the utilities needed to do more to protect competition in the Carolinas’ wholesale electricity market. The utilities revised and resubmitted a merger plan that includes such protections and additional savings for customers.

According to the merger agreement, Duke has six and a half years to return at least $650 million in fuel and related costs savings to customers. The merged company also must make contributions of $33.5 million annually to charitable groups for

four years. D u k e a n d

Progress plan to keep the head-

quarters of the merged company in Charlotte. The merger is ex-pected to result in the elimination of 1,860 of the 29,000 combined positions at Duke and Progress. The companies say most of the cuts will be through voluntary severance packages.

Opponents of the merger continue to say they believe the merger will not benefit custom-ers in the Carolinas.

The Asheville Regional Air-port will no longer be under the control of the Asheville city government. The N.C. House approved a bill to make the air-port an independent government agency controlled by a board that gives Henderson County more representation.

The airport’s current seven-member board includes three city appointees, three Buncombe County appointees and another member chosen by those six, often a person from Henderson County. The new board will include two members from Ashe-ville, two from Buncombe Coun-ty, two from Henderson County

��and a seventh appointed by the other members. Buncombe County will now control zoning at the airport, even though it’s within the city limits.

Some Asheville city officials have raised concerns that the change is another move by the Republican-controlled N.C. legislature to take control away from Democrats. While the City of Asheville is often controlled by Democrats, elected leadership in Buncombe and Henderson counties is more Republican.

City officials have also raised concerns that the N.C. legislature restricted city annexations and started a process to move control of the city water system to an independent agency.

The Asheville Regional Air-port was created after Asheville taxpayers approved bonds for it in 1958. Buncombe County voters previously rejected the bond issue.

***Cary, Raleigh and Charlotte

are among the fastest growing large cities in the country, ac-cording to recent data released by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The bureau reports that be-tween April 1, 2010 and July 1, 2011, population increased by 3.2 percent in Cary, 3.1 per-cent in Raleigh and 2.7 percent in Charlotte. The population estimates, based on housing data, rose to 139,633 in Cary, 416,468 in Raleigh and 751,087 in Charlotte.

Cary and Raleigh ranked ninth and 10th, respectively, for percentage increase in popula-tion among large cities. Charlotte ranked ninth in the country for numeric increase (19,663) in population. New Orleans topped the list for percentage increase at 4.9 percent, while New York was first for numeric increase (69,777).

Other North Carolina cities are growing at a slower pace, according to the census bureau.

Asheville’s population rose 1.3 percent between April 1, 2010 and July 1, putting it 331st among cities with a population of 50,000 or more. Asheville’s population was estimated at 84,458 as of July 1, 2011, up 1,065 from April 1, 2010. In South Carolina, the Charleston area saw the greatest growth, with Charleston, North Charles-ton and Mount Pleasant all above 2 percent growth. Greenville’s population grew at a 2.1 percent rate, ranking it 112th in the coun-try for percentage increase.

“A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.”

~ James Dent Summer-kissed July arrives

in Saluda with t r i p l e - d i g i t temperatures, juicy slices of scarlet water-melon, cicada songs , busy shops, restau-rants and new art galleries to entice locals and tourists alike. Bright-colored kayaks head to cool river water nearby, and honeysuckle breezes flutter through the Coon Dog Day banners along Main Street: our little town is all spiffed up for big Coon Dog Day celebrations!

The heat of July is when I find a good book or two to keep

on hand for sultry afternoons of pure laziness: although I’ll stir myself to stroll downtown for the Coon Dog parade! Today, the heart is warm, happy: July has also brought a new love into my life. Me, the cynical tough-

hearted one. To be honest, my sweetheart is a lot shorter, a lot younger than me, and only has one eye: but that

hasn’t stood in the way of true puppy love.

Over the past month, I went through the Shar-Pei Rescue of Virginia’s rigorous adop-tion process/screening in order to bring this little guy home. While his prior story was sad, it only made me more deter-mined to give him a fur-ever home. After a baking-hot trip

to Raleigh-Durham this past weekend to meet his foster mom from Virginia half-way, I drove back to Saluda with a soft snout pressed up against my arm, and warm puppy ears to rub. “River,” my fourth Shar-Pei puppy has arrived. Generous hearts all over helped make it possible to raise funds for the rescue organization’s adoption fee/etc., helped with a crate loan, toys, donations and of-fered love and support. I even did an ‘open studio’ weekend for the “River” fund cause. Very few people asked “What ARE you thinking!” Well, I did think. Twice. Maybe three times. The heart won!

Right now, the new guy in my life is snor-ing at my feet as I write; he’s decided he likes it around here indeed. The first toy he played with was Pooh’s old teddy bear that Pooh had brought from his foster home years ago. Kind of fitting. We’ll share eye surgery stories together, sit on the front steps in the morning sun, and watch the bees drift — dogs don’t mind a simple life at all. So many four-legged friends are out there in the world, just needing a chance and home with love. They don’t ask much. Once again, I have made the promise that River will always think the world is a good place. And I’m a person of my word.

Speaking of dogs, come en-joy the the 49th annual Coon Dog Day celebration from 8 a.m. - 11 p.m. on July 7: the parade starts at 11 a.m. There’s the fun 5K race in the morning, and entertainment all day long, plus lots of food and coon dogs to admire.

Congratulations to Genell

Andrew Suber-Brown is this year’s recipient of the Jason Fox Award given to an underclassman each year at Polk County High School.

Robert Jason Fox, best known as Jason, was a native of Tryon.

He attended The Polk County School System from kindergar-ten into high school, and was a member of the first freshman class to attend the new Polk County High School in Columbus when it opened in the fall 1992.

Early in his sophomore year - 1993 - Jason was diagnosed with leukemia and was obliged to with-draw from school for treatment. Jason passed away early in 1994.

During the short time he was a high school student, Jason earned the respect and affection of his teachers and his peers. He was a likable young man, a serious stu-dent, a good athlete, responsibly fun-loving with a good sense of humor, and a reputation for integ-

rity and good citizenship.Jason was an outstanding role

model for every student; he was also a glowing example of the importance of supportive, loving parents.

To honor the memory of Jason, an anonymous donor has estab-lished a special award to be given each year to a male Sophomore student whose personal quali-ties are as exemplary as Jason’s. The award consists of a citation, designed by the respected artist, Julia Williams, and a Fox-head pin designed by the renowned sculptor, William Behrends, cast in sterling silver, symbolizing Jason’s character.

It becomes the duty of the young man who receives this award to be faithful to the mem-ory of Jason and to remember always the reasons this award was given.

There is something, I think, every bit as sweet as eating a vine-ripened peach on the first day of summer.

That something is reaching a hard fought goal at middle age.

I speak of my former riding coach, Jan Ebeling, who, at 53, finished third in the national selec-tion trials for the London Olympics and thereby clinched the last slot on the U.S. Team.

You probably haven’t heard of Jan but you may very well have seen him, either on late night talk shows or comedic emails forwarded to your inbox, labeled, “Mitt Romney’s Dancing Horse!”

The Romneys are comedic fodder for both David Letterman and Stephen Colbert as the sport portrayed is (also my life’s passion) dressage, and the Romneys own a string of these enormously expen-sive animals that, to the novice eye, look as though they’re prancing

about to music with a rider guid-ing them through the movements, decked out in a silly outfit of top hat and tails.

Clearly, the footage of the Rom-ney’s champion mare, Ralfaca, aired over and over is an attempt to illustrate another example of how ‘out of touch’ the multimillion-aire candidate is with the rest of America.

Well, there’s a lot of truth to that but there is another side to be told as well and gird your loins, gentle readers, because this left-leaning southern gal is about to leap to the defense of this Republican family.

Dressage, a french word mean-ing ‘training,’ is often described by those of us engaged in the sport as ‘the ice skating of riding.’ Why? Because like ice skating, it should

look fluid and beautiful and ever so effortless to do, but for anyone who has ever stepped on the ice or swung a leg over the back of a horse, you know very well how difficult it must be. I often tell my students that we’re rather like swans: above the water, pure grace. Below, paddling like mad.

Young dres-sage prospects begin around $50,000 and sea-soned, success-ful, campaigners, easily a million or more.

People like the Romneys don’t blink while writing one of those checks. People like me not only blink, but feel our eyes begin to water when we write a check for a less stellar prospect that might run in the region of a used Subaru. We shop the clearance racks of TJ Maxx and don’t go on vacation because the transmission is going in the truck and we happily deny our own health care to make sure our steeds are kept comfortable.

My horse has a chiropractor. I don’t.

So am I jealous of Ann Rom-ney? Oh, hell yeah.

Could we possibly have any-thing in common? As a matter of fact, yes.

Jan.Quite honestly, I have never

known a more humble and hard working man. Between Jan, his wife, Amy, and barn crew, they run a top class facility which means Jan is on his first horse at 7:30 each morning, begins teaching around 10 a.m., and doesn’t leave the arena until 5 p.m., generally eating a sandwich standing in the arena at noon. This schedule was kept Monday through Friday after which Jan would go in the house, shower, pack, and be driven to the Burbank airport where he would fly across the country to teach clinics, arriving back home Sun-day night. I was one of the lucky students who boarded a couple of horses at his facility and trained daily with him for two years.

And, according to Ann, by whom I sat on the stone steps over-looking the arena while Jan rode her beautiful grey gelding, it was at one of these clinics that they met.

It was in 2002 that I had flown back to Los Angeles for a meeting and thought I’d swing by Jan’s to say hello as I had moved away in 1999. Jan was riding and I sat beside an attractive blonde until he took a break to be able to chat.

She introduced herself and told me she owned the horse upon which he sat and felt indebted to him as she had been very ill with Multiple Sclerosis and had taken up dressage as a sort of physical therapy. Jan had taken her seriously as a rider and had worked diligent-ly, taking her from a beginner to an accomplished competitor. It was now her turn, Ann said, to assist in helping him achieve his dream.

Now, watching the late night comics make fun of “Mitt Rom-ney’s Dancing Horse,” I cringed for Jan as footage taken of him competing during World Cup was shown amid laughter from the stu-dio audience. He doesn’t deserve to be portrayed as an elitist snob in a silly outfit.

He deserves to respected for working his butt off in a silly outfit (it’s a tradition thing, the whole top hat and tails get up).

So you can imagine why I choked up mightily while watching the Olympic selection trials from Gladstone, N.J., just a couple of weeks ago. There was Jan, in per-fect alignment in the saddle, guid-ing Ralfaca through the precise and demanding movements of Grand Prix dressage, pulling out all the stops to maintain third place and secure the final spot on the team.

And he did — with style, gra-ciousness and an enormous sense of humor as the crowds in the grandstand all wore huge foam fingers, a prop used by Stephen Colbert to sarcastically adopt dres-sage as his show’s ‘official summer sport,’ to cheer their support.

How sweet it is. Thank you very much indeed,

Mitt and Ann Romney.

Facile d’ete - Simple Summer Fare – five or fewer ingredients

Cuisine Classique - traditional French dish

Legumes Seul - only veg-etables

Fusion francaises - American classic with a French flair

Bon Bons Fantastique –

French-inspired dessertsBiologique et Locale - organic

and localThe SFF night’s agenda will

include the outcome of the first Slow Food Foothills spring fun-draiser at Overmountain Winery, which was held on May 20. Almost 300 people attended and the event made more than $4,000 in profit.

Attendees will also learn how they can join in on a number of slow food community projects directly within our foothills area.

Unlike some SFF potlucks, this is not a BYOB dinner. Rather, select wines by the bottle or glass and a wide selection of beers and spirits will be on offer for purchase. Mark Parsons, opera-tions manager of Pine Crest Inn, is creating a special Bastille Day Wine Spritzer that will be sold by the glass.

My Alaskan trip was every-thing I ever dreamed of and though I was ordered not to work, I couldn’t keep the kids I left behind out of my head.

I arrived home on Wednes-day evening and the first thing Thursday I went to check on all of them. Some of these tales I may tell in their entirety at a later date, but for now I’ll just relate a quick update.

On Thursday Buck went home with Duggan, I didn’t get a chance to see them but I will visit first chance I get.

My main concern was Laza-rus, a sweet Beagle who was fighting for life. I won’t go into his problems at this time but Tommy Maiolo told me that his only chance for life was to

Back to work, it begins againbe sent to Upstate Veterinary Specialists, which I approved. I named him Lazarus because my goal was to give him back his life if I could. He is now home with the person who brought him in and doing well. His total bill was $2,832 and I consider it money well spent.

Cute little Ashley, a poodle mix, got her foreleg caught in a fence and suffered a severe break. After everything was tried, it was deemed the best thing for her would be to remove the leg. Ashley is now home and adjusting beautifully, her total bill was $508.

LG (little girl) was brought

lg (phoTo suBmiTTeD)harley (phoTo suBmiTTeD)

to Landrum vet on my approval over a month ago. She is an 8 year old Calico that has dia-betes. Our goal was to adjust her medicine and return her to her owner with medical assis-tance when needed. I have two others that I do this for on oc-

cassion. She’s doing fantastic, loves attention and head butts and purrs up a storm when at-

tention is given. She hates her cage though and needs a home because the person who brought her in cannot be contacted. Her bill, ongoing.

While I was gone, a loving and beautiful Boxer named Harley, was attacked by coyotes and had some deep wounds. My dear wife, Elaine, knew

I would take him on (which I would have) and did so in my name. I visited him yesterday and told him, “Uncle Lennie has you covered, sweet boy.” He responded with the dance of joy, which brought tears to my eyes. His bill will be at least $700. The owner has promised to help with the bill as did Ash-ley’s owner, who did pay $160 toward her bill.

I have quickly gone through the monies I’ve raised at my last fundraiser and my Bark in the Park is scheduled for Oct. 6. All those that I have helped who’ve promised to give a little back, please try to do so if you can. There are so many others that need help, we must never let the lack of money deter us from saving lives.

Thanks for listening.

I have always been a huge fan of Susan Butcher, the amaz-ing lady who won the gruel-ing and difficult Iditarod four times. Susan had been told that it was not a race for women and that she coddles her dogs too much. I know a lot about Susan but on my trip, I learned about Granite.

One day in early spring, the young Susan witnessed five new pups being born. All were shiny, fat and healthy except for one. His fur was dull, he had knock-knees and he was being pushed around by his siblings. Susan was told that he could never be a real sled dog and should be given away as a pet, but she believed in him and gave him a strong name, GRANITE!

Granite became the most intelligent of her team and would lead the group home from wherever she took them. Granite grew to be a 58 pound, deep-chested, fast dog. After some early failures due to ac-cidents such as a moose attack, Susan was once again told she could never win the Iditarod because she babies her dogs.

Susan and Granite have vis-ited the White House, for you

Alaska: A tale of love and couragesee that Granite has the distinc-tion of being the only dog ever to lead a team to victory from start to finish for three consecu-tive years.

Between her third victory and her final victory, Granite

began to falter and could not get to his feet. Susan stopped the sled and saw that his temper-

ature was soaring. He needed help but it was far away, so she bundled him up and flew him to a veterinary hospital. The doctor held little hope for his recovery and said he had a damaged heart and would never race again. Susan brought him home and kept him in her cabin to care for him, but Granite cried and howled each time the team left him behind, he was determined to get better. Granite slept in her bed and then she allowed him to go on shorter runs with the younger dogs in training as his strength gradually was returning.

The doctor was amazed at his recovery and Susan entered him in a shorter race with the younger dogs and he led them to victory, but could he finish the thousand mile race? Granite was determined to prove that

the scrawny pup she’d put so much faith in, indeed had the heart of a champion.

Susan put him on lead again for the next Iditarod and before the race held Granite in her arms and said, “if you’re will-ing dear friend, than so am I.”

During the race the team got caught in a raging blizzard, all other teams had stopped but it was too late for Susan. In the harshest of conditions and visibility next to zero, against all odds, Granite miraculous-ly led them to the next check point.

Susan and Granite went on to win that race by a record setting 18 ½ hour margin.

Susan Butcher, this great lady who I admired, died of Leukemia in August 2006, but not before Granite, who lived 17 ½ years, died in her arms.

On my trip to Alaska I had

the honor and privilege to meet Susan’s husband, David, and their daughters, Tekla and Chisana, along with many of Granite’s protégées.

Granite is now considered the Secretariat of sled dogs and to receive a pup from his bloodline is highly desirable.

My group made David aware of my mission and when I told him how much I admired his late wife, he spoke with me for nearly an hour. He then handed me something I will cherish

forever. It was a book entitled “Granite.” In i t Dav id in -scribed, “From my kids to Len-

nie’s kids.”Thanks for listening.P.S. those same people who

had not believed in Susan and Granite said, “It’s no wonder they win the race because she takes the best care of her dogs and they take care of her.”

Backyard dangers that can be fixedThis week’s column improves

health by keeping you and your family safer. With warmer weath-er now here, more folks are spending time outside, but did you know that even your own back yard can be a place of danger?

That’s right. There could be dangers right under your nose you might never have considered. In fact, more than 200,000 children alone, visit hos-pital emergen-cy rooms each year in the U.S., so let’s go over a few potential problems, and learn how to fix them.

1) Unsafe playgrounds. Play sets can pose a real danger, with jagged edges and hot surfaces. To fix: Make sure all playground equipment is covered with shock-absorbing material, and mulch around it at least 9-12 inches deep. Make sure play equipment has no dangling cords or ropes, as these could cause strangulation. Also, check slides, swings and steps during hot summer days, as these could caused sever burns.

2) An unfenced pool. Accord-ing to the Home Safety Council, nearly one quarter of all drown-ings in the United States happen near home. An unfenced pool can attract and give easy access to neighborhood children and pets. Also, even though you may be an adult, or your kids are older, it’s never a good idea to swim alone. I can tell as a WSI (water safety instructor) for the American Red Cross, I know of several certified lifeguards who actually drowned, because they were alone and got over confident in the water.

To fix: Install a four sided fence, whether you have an above ground or in ground pool. Make sure the fence is at least 5 feet high, with a lock on its gate. Never place patio furniture close enough to the fence that it may be used to scale the structure.

3) Dangerous grill place-ment. A leading cause of bar-becue fires is placement of a grill next to combustibles like a wooden deck rail, awning or low

hanging tree branches.To fix: Make sure your grill

isn’t within 10 feet of your deck, hanging vegetation or the side of your house.

4) A weather-worn deck. Water can seep in and warp most decks that haven’t been water-proofed every 2 to 3 years. This increases the chance of falls.

To fix: First, inspect your deck every year, for a r e a s m o s t susceptible to moister, like the “ledger board,”

where the deck attaches to the house. Also, check for cracks and splits.

Another potential problem with decks, wood play sets and picnic tables is some of their pressure treated wood contains arsenic. This can increase risk of sickness and cancer to kids, even though the use of arsenic was phased out in 2003. Be sure to seal such wood once a year with a penetrating sealer and replace highly exposed areas like hand-rails, steps and deck boards with non-arsenic alternatives.

5) Pesticide residue. Whether conventional or natural, pesticides can pose a real hazard. These can make children and adults alike, ill.

To fix: Install bird houses and feeders to attract birds that feed on insects. You can even grow plants like parsley and sunflow-ers that attract predatory insects that don’t hurt other plants, but destroy insects that do.

RULING FROM THE GRAVE

Q. If we leave our property in trust for our children, won't we be "ruling from the grave?"A. This question comes up

frequently. Parents know

their children's strengths and

weaknesses well. If a child is

mature and generally man-

ages his or her life well, there

is no reason for a trust to be

unduly restrictive. In that

case, a trust can actually be a

"gift within a gift" providing

access to funds for the child,

but protecting the funds from

ex-spouses and judgment

creditors. If the child is not

provide a safety net for them,

one that they cannot dissipate

for nonessential expenses. In

either case, you would just be

for them.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.

WHAT IS PROBATE?Q. What is probate anyway?A. In a nutshell, the probate

process is a court proceeding

that establishes the validity of

a will and provides oversight to

ensure accuracy in accounting

for a decedent's assets, fair-

ness in the treatment of heirs,

and protection for the rights of

the decedent's creditors. The

process begins with the presen-

tation of the will and can take

on average 6 to 12 months. Of

course this depends on the com-

plexity of the estate and whether

there are any challenges to the

will. It is not necessary to hire

a lawyer for every probate. If

the assets are simple and there

are no tax or other complexities

and the executor is available in

the state and has the time and

capacity to handle the matters

that arise, the executor can

complete the process without

attorney involvement.

work and how much money do

I need to set one up?

A. A "family foundation" is what the tax law refers to as a "private foundation".The usual planning technique

is to have a CRT pay its funds

into a family foundation created

in the trust maker's will or trust.

The children of the trust maker

are usually on the foundation

is to decide which charities are

to justify this planning is

purely subjective, but a general

standard of tax specialists is a

minimum of one million dollars.

People who do this type of

planning most often site their

reason for doing so a desire

to give their children control

of wealth rather than wealth

outright so they can live lives

I’m thankful to belong to a community where people step in and help one another, where problems and challenges are faced head on. A community where we don’t bury our heads in the sand and pretend or hope that things will get better if we do nothing, but rather a community where we face our challenges head on finding solutions and then acting on them.

Morris, Try-on’s be loved town mascot has been in dire need of repairs and upkeep so he will look his best as he greats locals and visitors daily from his post on Trade Street. Good people with good intentions like Dee O’Brien, Patti d’Arbanville, Joey Davis and so many more have stepped in to raise the funds needed to repair Morris and rescue him from his captors. Not all have agreed on how to get it done, but everyone I have talked to have agreed, “Morris is what’s important,” and they’ll support getting him repaired and restored to his right-ful place on Tryon Street. Recent large donations from The Tryon Garden Club and a very generous donation from an anonymous do-nor have certainly helped. Lucky for Morris he lives in Tryon

where people care enough to take action, and get things done.

Tryon’s downtown businesses are facing a much bigger chal-lenge with several local business-es closing their doors or moving to other locations. Rather than saying it’s not my problem, my building, let the government or someone else take care of it; local

business own-ers and commu-nity members are coming to-gether to dis-cuss options to find a solution.

Monday at 5 p.m. at the Tryon Depot business owners will host a brainstorming session to address the problem. All concerned, are invited to attend the meeting and help come up with a solution.

Andy Millard of Millard and Company will facilitate the meet-ing with the intent to generate positive ideas that work. If you have had any dealings with Andy you already know that he is a man of action, like so many here, a man who cares, gets involved and who gets things done.

I’m confident a solution will be found, action put into place and Tryon will once again thrive. It’s good to live in the foothills, where the norm is to help your neighbor, take action, find a solu-tion and act upon it.

Brainstorming session to revive Tryon

Media categories are two-dimensional painting, two-dimensional drawing and mixed media, two-dimensional pho-tography and sculpture, which includes ceramics and jewelry.

The juror this year will be Mana Hewitt, MFA, director of the McMaster Art Gallery, as well as director of undergradu-

ate studies in the art depart-ment of the University of South Carolina.

Her studio work has been in ceramics, painting and metals.

Hewitt received the South Carolina Arts Commission Art-ist Fellowship and was named a Southern Arts Foundation Artist. In 2012, her work was included in “100 Southern Artists.”

Two local artists will con-duct unusual painting work-shops at the Tryon Painters and Sculptors Gallery during the month of July.

The first offering is a two-day collage painting workshop on July 14-15. Grace Lertora, a well-traveled local artist,will be the instructor for the first workshop. Lertora defines the project as a memory collage: a way to organize photos and ar-ticles into a story that becomes a painting. Collage is an assembly process built around a central idea or theme, and will use glued materials of many kinds incorporated into an acrylic painting.

Lertora was born in Argen-tina and studied at the American University in Washington, D.C. Later she traveled and painted in Spain, Italy, Greece, England and various sites in the United States. Recently, she partici-pated in Art Trek Tryon, and she is a member of Tryon Painters and Sculptors and The Upstairs Gallery.

The second workshop, to be held Saturday, July 21 from 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m., is entitled Batik on Paper and the instruc-tor will be Christine Mariotti, a textile artist and watercolor painter. Mariotti said she is ex-

cited about this process because it combines painting skills with wax resists and the results are textural studies in light and dark.

Working from high-contrast photographs, the students will be able to analyze the light to dark areas and preserve them on gintaki rice paper with lay-ers of color wash and wax. The rice paper is then wrapped on stretched canvas to make a fin-ished piece that does not need

to be framed. Mariotti is well known for

her painted silks and fabric batiks but enjoys working on paper and canvas as well. She recently returned from a wa-tercolor workshop in Denver, Colo., where she produced new work, some of which was exhibited at the Saluda Senior Center in June.

This one-day workshop will be held in the studios of Tryon Painters and Sculptors, 26 Maple Street in Tryon.

Members of the Polk Coun-ty Retired School Personnel (PCRSP) recently visited the N.C. Arboretum in Asheville, N.C.

While visiting the gardens, members enjoyed a tour of the exhibit “Wicked Plants: The Weed That Killed Lincoln’s Mother and other Botanical Atrocities,” inspired by Amy Stewart’s book by the same name.

The exhibit gives visitors a hands-on experience with some of the world’s most diabolical botanicals – without the risk of intoxication, addiction, dis-memberment or death.

The group walked several trails, enjoying natural gardens, as well as the bonsai exhibit.

PCRSP meets quarterly for fellowship and to support local educational projects. Members are encouraged to volunteer for an organization of their choice. Many local organizations are served by these retired school employees, who volunteer as reading tutors and for youth

groups, Kiwanis, Hospice, St. Luke’s, Polk extension pro-grams, the Polk County Com-munity Foundation, TROT at FENCE, Girl Scouts, American Red Cross and many more.

Interested retired school personnel are invited to the ice cream social held in August.

Dear Savvy Senior,Are there any resources or

programs that help seniors with the high cost of hearing aids?

Can’t Afford To Hear Dear Can’t,It’s unfortunate, but millions

of Americans with hearing loss don’t get hearing aids because they simply can’t afford them. Hearing aids are expensive, typ-ically costing between $1,000 and $3,500 per ear, and most insurance companies includ-ing traditional Medicare don’t cover them. While there’s no one simple solution to finding affordable hearing aids, there are a variety of options you can look into that can help.

Check insuranceYour first step is to check

with your health insurance pro-vider to see if it provides any hearing aid coverage.

If you’re a Medicare ben-eficiary, you need to know that while original Medicare (Part A and B) and Medicare supple-mental policies do not cover hearing aids, some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans do. If you have an Advantage plan, you’ll need to check with your plan administrator.

Medicaid also covers hearing

aids in some states to people with very limited means. Your county social service office can give you more information.

Or, if you’re a federal em-ployee or retiree, hearing aid coverage may be ava i l ab l e through some i n s u r a n c e plans in the Federal Employ-ees Health Benefits Program. Or if you’re a veteran, the VA provides free hearing aids if you meet certain conditions such as being compensated for any serviced-connected disability or if your hearing loss is connected to military service. See va.gov or call 877-222-8387 to check your eligibility.

Financial assistanceDepending on your income

level, there are various pro-grams and foundations that provide financial assistance for hearing aids to people in need. Start by calling your state rehabilitation department (see www.parac.org/svrp.html for contact information), or the nearest chapter of the Hearing Loss Association of America (hearingloss.org) to find out if there are any city, county or state programs, or local civic

How to find help paying for your hearing aid

Savvy Senior

organizations that could help. There are also a number

of nonprofits that offer hear-ing aids at deeply discounted prices, or for free. Some good ones to check out include:

HEAR Now: Sponsored by t h e S t a r k e y Hearing Foun-

dation (starkeyhearingfounda-tion.org, 800-328-8602), this program provides hearing aids for people with net incomes below $19,058 for a single or $25,743 for couples. Your only costs are a hearing test and an application fee of $125 per hearing aid request.

Lions Affordable Hearing Aid Project: Offered through some Lions clubs throughout the U.S., this program provides the opportunity to purchase new, digital hearing aids manu-factured by Rexton for $200 per aid, plus shipping. To be eligi-ble, most clubs will require your income to be somewhere below 200 percent of the federal pov-erty level, which is $22,340 for singles or $30,260 for couples. Contact your local Lions club (see lionsclubs.org for contact information) to see if they par-ticipate in this project.

Sertoma: A civic service organization that runs a hearing aid recycling program through its 500 clubs nationwide, re-furbishes them, and distributes them to local people in need. Call 800-593-5646 or visit sertoma.org to locate a club in your area.

Audient: This program (au-dientalliance.org, 866-956-5400) helps people purchase new, digital hearing aids at re-duced prices ranging from $495 to $975 for one hearing aid, or $990 to $1,575 for a pair. To be eligible, your income must be below $27,075 for a single or $36,425 for couples.

For a list of more programs, visit the Better Hearing Institute website at betterhearing.org, and click on “Hearing Loss Resources,” then on “Finan-cial Assistance.” Or, call the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders at 800-241-1044 and ask them to mail you their list of financial resources for hear-ing aids.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Polk County 4-H members once again participated in the annual district presentation com-petition, held in Cullowhee, N.C.

Presentations are used as a way of sharing information, teaching poise and gaining self-confidence. The 4-H’ers orga-nize, prepare and present an illustrated talk, demonstration, speech or dramatic interpretation of their choosing.

The following youth partici-pated this year: In the 9-10 age group, Luke Dyer spoke about the praying mantis and received a gold medal.

Ph i l Burney and Luke Umphlett competed in the 11-13 age group. Burney’s topic was magnetic levitation trains; he received a gold medal. Umphlett spoke on the history of tap and then gave a tap demonstration; he also received a gold.

Lastly, in the 14-18 age group, Larry Dyer presented on the his-tory of Sparta and took home a gold medal; Alexa Hughes ex-plained tech week in the theater, winning a silver; Alina Kolberg talked about environmental pro-tection and placed for a gold and Samuel Umphlett spoke about tigers and took home a bronze.

Gold medal winners will ad-vance to the state competition in Raleigh on July 17.
