Alexander’s Ford park closer to realityPolk could close on property by end of yearby Leah Justice

Polk County is getting closer to having a nature preserve and historical park at Alexander’s Ford.

The county could close on the property by the end of this year thanks to grants that will completely cover acquisition costs.

Tom Fanslow, Land Protection Director of Car-olina Mountain Land Con-servancy, described the prop-erty to the Polk County Board of


Community has raised $5k so far for Grandma WrightPorch construction set to begin tomorrowby Leah Justice

A community effort to fix "Grandma’s house" in Landrum is off to a good start with donations totaling $5,024 so far.

Ida Mae Wright, 77, who lives on North Trade Ave. in Landrum, was alerted in June that her house had been condemned because her

front porch was unsafe. The city gave Wright 30 days to begin work on the porch or she would have to vacate the property.

After hearing that her grand-mother’s house had been con-demned, Angie Crummie, Wright's granddaughter, began an effort to get help. She posted Facebook mes-sages that spread quickly, video-

Editor's note: This is the third in a series of articles about the efforts of Samantha Lovelace and other local residents to help in the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill. The first article ran on Tuesday, June 29, and the second on Friday July 9.by Emily Riddle

When Samantha Lovelace, Quincy Jackson and Chris Riddle traveled to the Gulf Coast in June, they saw firsthand that clean up of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is likely to outlast its news coverage. In other words, the communities along the coast may slowly slip from the headlines in the coming months, but their ways of living will be drastically changed for years to come.

No one is more familiar with this fact than Riki Ott, a marine biologist from Alaska. She witnessed the Exxon Valdese oil spill in 1989 when she was working as a commercial fisherman in Cordova, Alaska. As her website states, she saw how “the local economy, communities and thousands of miles of environment [in Prince William Sound] were devastated.

And then ignored.” The trio from Polk County heard Ott

speak in Fairhope, Ala. “We couldn’t have felt any better if Wonder Woman had shown up,” said Lovelace in her blog. “She’s the nation’s leading expert on recovering from this kind of disaster. … Some of what she had to say was hard to hear, but she didn’t scare us either.”

Resources on Ott’s website list potential health problems caused by chemicals in crude oil and dispersants including damage to the respiratory system, kidneys, liver, circulatory system and immune system, among others. While some effects of oil toxicity are immediate, some of these health problems can take time to develop and pres-ent, says Lovelace, so they are included in the long-term effects of such disasters.

Ott’s focal message is public health and the environment, according to Lovelace, and her manner of speaking empowers listeners. Delivering facts about toxic water and resulting environmental concerns can

be a daunting task, but Ott “is able to help [citizens] focus and get motivated,” says Lovelace.

Riki Ott is one of many who are speaking out about the crisis in the Gulf. As media coverage of the oil leak, cleanup efforts and

impacted communities dwindles, activists like Ott will continue in their mission of justice for every-day people, their livelihood and the environment.

Commissioners recently, saying it's as if “someone designed a botanical garden for you.”

Commissioners approved amendments which updated the terms of the lease of the property with the Bradley Community Benefit Fund through the Polk County Community Foundation as well as a budget ordinance for the $1,419,500 project, a resolu-tion supporting the project and appointed Ambrose Mills as the project manager.

The county has obtained fund-ing through the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund, which will finance the purchase of a 48-acre riparian area (permanent conservation easement required), the N.C. Natural Heritage Trust Fund, which will finance the pur-chase of a conservation easement on 114.52 acres and the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund

(PARTF), which will finance the purchase of a fee simple title to the 114.52 acres and pay for park development costs.

Fanslow gave commissioners an overview of the project recent-ly and said the vision for the proj-ect is to create a nature preserve that will be low maintenance and low cost to the county.

“It’s going to be a very un-complicated plan,” Fanslow said. “The vision is to preserve the site for the future.”

The land is situated along al-most a mile stretch of the Green River and includes part of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, which follows the route of assembly of the American Patriot army which decisively defeated an American Loyalist army at the battle of Kings Mountain, S.C., in the fall of 1780.

Fanslow also said that along

the Alexander’s Ford site is also thought to be at least a transit location for native Americans. Tribal archaeologists as well as the National Parks Service is very interested in doing searches on the site, he said.

According to Fanslow, fishery will be important in the Alexander's Ford park, as will the nature trails. He said the site will possibly have paddling stops along the river, his-torical re-enactment areas, picnic fa-cilities and a modest parking area.

When botanists went out to sur-vey the property, they were very impressed, Fanslow said, stating that the area is a well designed botanical garden. The property has 11 different com-munities of outdoor study, Fanslow said, including wet and dry fields, sand bar, allu-vial forest and mesic forest communities, just to name a few.

The PARTF money Polk has been awarded will be provided in two sections, $367,877 for land acquisition and $132,123 for park planning. Polk Coun-ty will have to come up with the $132,000 initially to build the

trails and park features, but will be reimbursed for that funding. The county will have one year to build the trails, but it is possible to get an extension if needed.

The county was awarded $221,856 and $52,144 from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund for property acquisition and transaction costs respectively.

The county also was awarded $179,760 and $20,400 from the Natural Heritage Trust Fund for acquisition and transaction costs respectively.

The purchase p r i ce o f $830,000 will be good through Dec. 31, 2010. County officials say they expect to close prior to that date.

taped her grandmother sitting on her porch and posted that record-ing on youtube. The video has been watched hundreds of times since it was posted. The family also sent requests for help from the television show "Extreme Makeover Home Edition."

More attention was brought through a front page story in the Friday, July 2 Bulletin.

The community responded quickly to the plea for help.

“This project has brought an entire community together and not just that though, it has brought family and friends together too,” said Crummie. “I have seen and spent time with so many people that I have not seen in ages.”

The Celtic Tavern held a ben-efit called “Banding Together for Grandma” last Saturday, which raised $3,348. The benefit featured local bands and was an all-day event where a couple of hundred people attended.

Work on Grandma’s porch

will begin tomorrow at 9 a.m. and will be done completely with volunteers.

Wright attended Saturday’s event at the Celtic Tavern and fam-ily members said she had a blast and is thankful to the community. Crummie said her grandmother had never set foot in a bar prior to Saturday.

Estimates to fix the front porch have ranged from between $5,000 and $7,000 for materials, not including additional costs such as port-a-jons, food and drink for volunteers.

Estimates for other work needed in the house have been as high as $35,000. Other repairs needed in-clude fixing the back porch, which is leaking, and repairs to the inside of the late 1800s home.

Wright and her late husband, Lee Wright, bought their house in 1969. Wright said the house was kept up until her husband’s death about 18 years ago. She has had two strokes and suffers from a few diseases, including diabetes and arthritis, and says it’s impossible

to do repairs or afford to pay for repairs on her fixed income.

Landrum officials say they had to condemn the home for Wright’s safety, as the roof of the porch is failing as well as the floor. Of-ficials say the family has been great in this situation and they will work with the family as long

as work gets started.Work and volunteers are being

Mother, son arrested for fraud; victims may include Polk womanby Leah Justice

An 82-year-old Polk County woman is believed to have been a victim of Sue Carswell Hyder and her son, Terry Hyder, who are suspected of defrauding elderly people of money.

FBI investigators have arrested Terry Hyder, of Orlando, Fla., on charges of fraud. Investigators say Terry Hyder cheated families of Alzheimer’s patients out of $500,000 by selling them fraudu-lent tax certificates.

His mother, Sue Hyder of Bos-tic, N.C., was arrested last week after investigators discovered she and other employees were creating fake handicap placards and issuing them to non-disabled people. The Forest City DMV of-fice, where they worked, has been

closed during the investigation. Investigators say they think

Terry Hyder met the Polk County victim through his mother, who established a relationship with the victim when she came to the DMV agency in Forest City to get her tag. They say they believe the Hyders defrauded the elderly Polk woman of $120,000.

Federal agents are still inves-tigating the Hyders in an attempt to determine if there are more victims.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office was also involved in the case of the Polk County victim. The Polk County Department of Social Services alerted the sher-iff’s office in April that an elderly woman had been defrauded of $120,000.

Transition Polk County to hold first meeting Tuesday

All Polk County residents inter-ested in joining a worldwide group dedicated to the goal of moving away from oil dependency and supporting sustainable communities are invited to attend the introductory meeting of Transition Polk County.

Transition Polk County will become part of the Transition US o r g a n i z a t i o n , which is designed to support eco-nomic and social change to produce sustainable com-munities.

“The problems created by rising prices of food and fuel, coupled with the economic contraction that began in 2008, can only be solved by people working creatively together to strengthen their local economies and to build local resilience,” say Transition organizers. “In the next few years community responses to economic threats, fossil fuel deple-tion and climate change will take shape in many hundreds of commu-

nities across the United States.”Transition Polk County will be

designed to show how these pro-found and inevitable changes can have a positive outcome.

According to the Transition handbook, “Within peak oil and climate change is the potential for the greatest economic, social and

cultural renais-sance we have ever seen.”

Transi t ion Polk County is open to every-one. The intro-ductory meet-ing will be held at Isothermal C o m m u n i t y

College Tuesday, July 20, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The evening will include refreshments, a movie and discussion.

For more information, call Mary Parker at 864-279-0140.

Editor’s Note: The Tryon Daily Bulletin in June asked the candidates running for three seats on the Polk County Board of Commissioners this coming November to answer five ques-tions regarding their views of the recommendations in the county’s Comprehensive Plan, the “Vision 20/20” plan.

For several yeas now, past and cur ren t Polk County commissioners have been work-ing on strategic planning for the county, twice conducting surveys to ask county residents what they want. Based on those survey results, this past winter, the county completed a comprehensive plan.

The current county board has now formed a committee to draft a Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The UDO committee will be charged with compiling all of Polk County’s land use ordi-nances into one document. It is expected the committee will also work to incorporate new laws to achieve the goals of the Vision 20/20 plan.

In light of this major effort just beginning, and the fact that the UDO will be under the ju-risdiction of the next board, the Bulletin asked the five candidates to share their views on five key areas of the Vision 20/20 plan’s recommendations.

All eight candidates respond-ed. They are: Democrats — Ray Gasperson (incumbent), Marga-ret Johnson, and Benny Smith; Republicans — David Moore, Ted Owens and Tom Pack; and Independents — Tommy Melton (incumbent) and Warren Watson (incumbent).

The first question and the candidates’ answers are listed below. The additional four ques-tions will appear each of the next four Fridays.

Question: Although devel-

Polk candidates answer questions on Vision 20/20

opment is stalled right now, the N.C. Office of State Planning predicts the Advantage West region population will have grown by 17% between 2000 and 2020. It is predicted that during the same period, Polk County itself will have grown 14%. To guide the future of Polk County as it grows, the Vision 20/20 planners propose

strong mea-sures. Do you support this recommend-ed step up in Polk County governance as

regards land uses? Why or why not?

* * *Ray Gasperson: I am com-

mitted to staying the course that was started by the prior BOC that resulted in the Vision Statement: “Polk County’s rural atmosphere and serene natural beauty will be vigorously protected.”

I believe that this course of (Continued on page 10)

action has consistently been reaf-firmed each step of the way by unanimous votes of the Visioning Committee, Comprehensive Plan Committee, the Planning Board, prior and current Board of Com-missioners.

As a county commissioner and a member of the UDO Commit-tee, I will at all times strive to be a “visionary and pragmatic” leader of our community as this document is drafted.

* * *Margaret Johnson: The rec-

ommendations made by the 20/20 Visioning Committee were based on the desire of Polk County citi-zens to protect our county’s beautiful, rural character and to prevent the w o u n d s a n d scars of catastrophic develop-ments, such as occurred on Choco-late Drop Mountain. I share their commitment to this vision and support their recommendations regarding land use. I do not, how-ever, support forced zoning.

* * *Tommy Melton: Yes, I support

the Vision 20/20 recommenda-tions (although, according to my research, 14% growth rate may be a little high. The US Census Bureau reveals that Polk County experienced a 5.1% growth rate from July, 2000 to July, 2009, a dramatic slowdown compared to the 1990s).

As one of the 22 Polk County Visioning Committee members formed in May, 2007, I discovered that the majority of citizens who participated in the Vision 20/20 survey had a desire to “vigorously” protect Polk County’s rural atmo-sphere and serene natural beauty. I voted to approve the Vision 20/20 Plan, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and I recently voted to approve a committee to establish a Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).

* * *David Moore: I will support

it up to the point that we don’t in-fringe on personal property rights of our citizens that have worked hard to own the land which belongs to them.

* * * Ted Owens: I was on the Board

of Commissioners when the Vision 20/20 plan was commissioned and the hiring of professionals to do the formation of information and recommend a plan.

In every survey that has been conducted and answered, the majority of the citizenry wanted to keep the rural character of the county and I agree with that fully.

The Polk County 20/20 Vision Plan should be used as a guideline, remembering it is an instrument

that will contin-ually need to be fine tuned and up-dated, in any Polk County governance of

land uses. However, common sense and

discretion should also be used by anyone making decisions affecting the rights of the citizens of this county. Also, one should be care-ful using percentages in making decisions.

I’m a member of the Region C Area Agency on Aging Advisory Committee and a report from the State states that in 2008 the popu-lation of Polk County was 18,992 and their prediction is Polk’s population in 2029 will be 19,518. That is more like 3% not 14% or even 17%.

* * *Tom Pack: We all want to keep

Polk County rural. I will not make a blanket statement of support as I need to see each proposed ordi-nance and the impact it has on pri-vate property rights. We have to be careful as not to adversely impact private property rights as we try to protect our rural character.

* * *Benny Smith: I think our Vi-

sion Plan Advisory Committee gave us a helpful tool to use in the development of a plan for

recommending priorities and establishing a vision for our county. I believe all goals in the comprehensive plan are criti-cal and of utmost importance. I feel the 20-20 Vision Plan fully embodies the responsibility of those in leadership roles. This vision is what we must always be cognizant of during our time of service and beyond.

* * *Warren Watson: As part of

the 2007 Board which initiated the Polk County 20/20 Vision Plan, I believe it is imperative that we follow through and im-plement plan recommendations.

The strong survey response and clear opinions expressed indicate a commitment by our citizens to the plan goals. Some specific goals are County/ Mu-nicipal collaboration on plan-ning and services, such as water resources management, ground

water protection, protection and enhancement of our environment and natural resources, farmland preservation, promotion of for-ests and farms.

Additionally, we can fos-ter economic development and managed sustainable growth through a continued commitment to agriculture, viticulture, the equine indus-try, local access to high quality healthcare, and support and en-hancement of our public school system.

Furthermore, good land use planning will provide a balance between the protections we seek and the need for job growth in construction and light industry, along with the need to provide affordable housing opportunities for County residents.

Upcoming Questions:Friday, July 23: The Vision

20/20 plan recommends that a high percentage of the county be divided into “land use sectors,” about 65% of which would be included in the conservation and greenspace sectors, where development would be severely limited. Do you support this con-cept? Would you vote for specific

ordinances that would provide a path to the establishment of these land use sectors?

Friday, July 30: The Vision 20/20 plan calls for a revision of county ordinances to tighten regulations regarding subdivi-sions, making their approval in the future contingent upon a review of their impacts on water resources, traffic, consistency with the proposed land use sec-tors, and to encourage cluster development. The planners also recommend requiring develop-ers to extend water lines to their developments, and to build a sub-

division’s interior roads such that they serve lots abutting primary roads. Would you support such ordinance changes?

Friday, August 6: The Vision 20/20 planners recommend tight-ening county regulations regard-ing commercial development, requiring impact statements prior to approval, discouraging strip development, requiring green buffers between commercial cen-ters and roadways, and guiding such development to designated “commercial nodes.” Would you support such ordinance changes?

Friday, August 13: Vision 20/20 planners forecast a “se-rious shortage of affordable housing.” Strategies outlined in the Vision 20/20 plan to correct this shortage include creating zoning districts specifically for lower cost housing, providing density bonuses to developers. What steps would you take to encourage more affordable hous-ing in Polk County?

National polling firm gives Tryon's festival top marksby Jeff Byrd

After surveying 428 attendees at the 2010 Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival, a team of re-searchers from a national polling firm hired by the BBQ said the Tryon festival is “a gem among the pebbles.”

“Over the years, we have been associated with festivals and events, we know what we will hear before we even get there,” wrote Lynn Goodman, senior analyst with TouchPoll of Georgia, Inc., in her June 15 executive sum-mary report to t he Ca ro l ina Foothills Cham-ber o f Com-merce, owners of the festival.

Typical re-sults from their surveys, Good-man said, find festival-goers c o m p l a i n i n g about the lack of toilets, the inconvenience of the parking, the price of the food and being jammed into crowded conditions.

“We heard… not one peep about any of this at the Blue Ridge BBQ,” Goodman wrote. “Are you perfect? Not quite, but you are not far off.”

She suggested “minor tweaks” be implemented in the future, such as being clear and “totally honest” in delivering what is advertised. At this year’s festival, Goodman said a “senior discount” offer did not specify the age requirement. Offers for “unlimited rides for children” caused confusion, and visitors were unable to find the promised “cooking tips.”

However, she said, festival visi-tors went out of their way to praise the helpfulness and work ethic of

the festival’s corps of volunteers.“Your volunteers were simply

amazing,” Goodman wrote. “We even had people stop by simply to tell us how impressed they were not only with the constant work, but their attitude, willingness to be helpful and always a smile.”

Unaudited financial results show an attendance of 14,569, including visitors, volunteers, cookers and vendors.

“Overall, your attendance was noteworthy, especially in light of the heat breaking weather forecast early in the morning together with a recession still in play,” Good-man wrote.

In the survey, a total of 428 visi tors were asked 24 ques-tions regarding themselves, how they liked the festival, where they l ea rned about the fes-tival and how they planned to spend their m o n e y . T h e sample size, as a percentage of total attendance,

offers a statistical 95 percent “confidence rate” in the results, Goodman said.

About 83 percent of those sur-veyed were visitors to the festival, while nine percent were volunteers and three percent were cookers. Thirty percent reported their family income level as $70,000 or greater, and thirty percent reported family income of $40,000 to $70,000. Most where white, 88 percent, and 6.5 percent were African American.

Sixty six percent of those surveyed said their favorite thing about the festival was the “great food.” Seventy percent of those surveyed rated the food at the festival either “outstanding,” or “very good.”

Please call 828-859-6655 if you have any questions.

of the festival, cited by 42 percent, was the music and entertainment. Seventy percent of those asked said the music was either “out-standing,” or “very good.” Sixteen percent thought is was “O.K.”

The low cost of admission (37 percent), the ease of parking (27 percent) and the shuttle service (20 percent) were the three fac-tors cited most often as playing a part in the decision to attend the Blue Ridge BBQ.

Most of those attending said they learned about the BBQ by “word of mouth,” (49 percent). Another 23 percent learned of the festival from print media, primar-ily newspapers in Spartanburg (21 percent), Tryon (18 percent) and Asheville (17 percent). The internet provided 15 percent of the information, and that came overwhelmingly (78 percent) from the Blue Ridge BBQ web-site, according to the survey.

“The two higher income (groups) reported no response for learning (about the festival) through the Internet,” TouchPoll reported.

When asked if they participat-

ed in the “Going Green” initiative at the festival, few responded, 13 of the 428 surveyed, but the researchers praised the effort.

“This was a noble effort on your part,” TouchPoll wrote in a comment to the data. “Of all the festivals we work, across the states, the Blue Ridge BBQ is by far the most “green” we have experienced to date. This experience was further enhanced during our visit Sunday at 8 a.m. to pick up our tent. A veritable army of volunteers was policing Harmon Field.”

Crime rates hit 25-year low in North CarolinaTuition rates jumping at state universities

The overall crime rate in North Carolina plunged 8.8 percent in 2009, the largest annual drop since the state started tracking crime figures in 1973, according to N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper. Violent crime was down even more, dropping 12.5 percent compared to 2008.

Statewide figures show a 19.1 percent decline in homicides in 2009. Robberies were down 17.6 percent and aggravated as-saults fell 10.7 percent, although the rate of rates was unchanged. The state also saw improvement in property crime rates. Motor vehicle thefts were down 25.8 percent.

Officials attributed the im-provement in North Carolina, in part, to improved law enforcement efforts and stricter sentencing. Attorney General Cooper noted that North Carolina is planning to implement a new law that will expand the state’s DNA database for criminal investigations and could further reduce crime rates. Some law enforcement officers also attributed the drop in crime to an aging population in the state and country, adding that most crime is committed by younger people. The overall crime rate fell 5 percent nationally in 2009.

***Tuition will jump in the Uni-

versity of North Carolina system for the upcoming 2010-11 year due to budget cuts by the state legislature, according to UNC President Erskine Bowles.

Bowles approved an increase of $750 for students attending UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. State, the largest universities in the UNC system and the ones hit with the largest budget cuts. At UNC-Asheville tuition is expected to rise by $82 for the upcoming year and then by $347 for the 2011-12

year. Students at Western Carolina University and Appalachian State University will see increases of $573 and $468, respectively, in the upcoming year. Each campus was given the option of raising tuition over the next two years, although most opted for the full increase this year.

***North Carolina has been

ranked fourth in CNBC's annual "America's Top States for Busi-ness" survey, according to N.C. Governor Bev Perdue. North Carolina moves up from ninth last year.

The ranking is the highest North Carol ina has achieved in the four years of the survey. In 2008 and 2007, North Caro-lina ranked 6th and 5th, respectively.

In its rankings, CNBC scored the states on more than 40 mea-sures of competitiveness based on the cost of doing business, work-force, quality of life, economy, transportation and infrastructure, technology and innovation, educa-tion, business friendliness, access to capital and cost of living.

***State lawmakers have given

support for an alternative energy project that is expected to turn all of Mecklenburg County’s house-hold garbage into electricity. The N.C. Senate voted 44-0 to allow power produced at the ReVenture Park plant in Gaston County to count triple toward the state’s alternative energy requirements. The state is requiring all electric companies to get three percent of their power from renewable energy sources by 2012. The project, which will include a biomass power plant and solar farm, is expected to employ about 1,000 people at a former textile-dye plant in Gaston County.

ceived a $25 million federal grant to plan the first leg of a streetcar line. The city plans to start streetcar service in 2014, 70 years after they last ran in the city. The first leg will run from the Presbyterian Hospital to the city’s main transit station near Time Warner Cable Arena.

The city later wants to extend a 10-mile line from Beatties Ford Road to an area near Eastland Mall, a project that could cost about $500 million and take about 20 years to complete. In addition to the federal grant, the city set aside $12 million for the first phase of the project, which is expected to cost about $37 million.

The city plans to begin work soon on the first phase by moving utilities under the street. Overhead lines will power the cars.

Charlotte beat out 65 other cities applying for the federal grant.

***Rev. William Barber, the presi-

dent of the NAACP in North Caro-lina, and three other activists have been banned from stepping on the property of Wake County Schools, the largest school system in the state. Barber, Duke University historian Tim Tyson and two other activists were arrested on June 15 following accusations they disrupted a school board meeting.

The activists have been protest-ing a decision by Wake County School to end busing in the district. The district had allowed students to attend better performing schools outside their immediate neighbor-hood, but a new school board voted earlier this year to end the practice and return to neighborhood schools. Protesters say the decision was ra-cially motivated.

***A judge has ordered Ruther-

ford County Schools to pay about $730,000 to Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy (TJCA). TJCA claimed the Rutherford County school system was not distributing federal and state revenue to the charter school as required by state law. The tax revenue is designated for children in the county from disadvantaged socio-economic

backgrounds. TJCA sued for more than $900,000 in tax revenue it says it is owed over the past four years.

“By the way the law was writ-ten, the current expense money has to be divided per student basis, and we represent 7 percent of the Rutherford County student popu-lation,” said TJCA headmaster Joe Maimone. By the start of the 2010-11 school year, 1,000 students will be enrolled in the charter grammar, middle and high schools.

***Greenville-Spartanburg Inter-

national Airport is planning a $90 million renovation to improve the appearance and function of the 50-year-old main terminal. The

airport plans to make the building more eco-friend-ly while also improving traffic flow and security and centralizing ticketing and screening.

In 2009, GSP had 1.2 million passengers, down from a high of 1.8 million in 2005. The airport says it hopes the renovation will allow it to handle more than two million passengers annually in the future.

***South Carolina has passed a

new law allowing breweries to offer limiting tastings of their products and sell a limited amount of beer following a tour. Previously, beer only could be sold in retail stores in the state, while wine could be sold at wineries. The new law, signed by Gov. Mark Sanford at R.J. Rockers in Spartanburg, is expected to boost the state’s micro-brewery industry.

***Four of the original “Greenville

8” who confronted segregation re-united recently in Greenville, S.C. to mark the 50-year anniversary of their sit-in at the whites-only Greenville Public Library in 1960. The group included Rev. Jesse Jackson.

The “Greenville 8” entered the library on July 16, 1960 in protest of its segregation policies. They peacefully refused to leave and were arrested by city police. Fol-lowing a lawsuit, the Greenville Public Library temporarily closed and then reopened on September 19 as an integrated public facility.

4. Psychiatric problems, or a lack of symptoms that cause the patient to think or believe he’s okay and no longer needs to take the medications

5. Patient impairment re-sulting from cognitive deficit,

poor vision, and possibly anxiety and stress related to taking med-ications.

Some med-ications, like those taken for depression, often take weeks to reach their full therapeutic levels at which time the patient begins to see improvement. Many patients expect a medi-cine to work immediately and if they don’t see results within a few days, discontinue the drug regimen and create a pat-tern for failure and continuing depression.

Side effects are also a con-tributing factor to the decision to stop. If the medicine creates more distress than the problem for which it was intended as a resolution, many patients will

If you have elderly parents, you know that there are a lot of bad things that can happen to them ranging from car ac-cidents, to falls and unexpected illnesses. They don’t intention-ally do things to negatively im-pact their health, but today there is a growing risk among elderly who live indepen-dently. It’s the risk of not taking their prescribed m e d i c a t i o n s . Their noncompli-ance makes them part of what is called the invis-ible senior epidemic.

Non-compliance happens every day and ranges from skip-ping a daily dose of a prescribed drug, to failing to pick up a refill of an existing medicine or a new prescription at the pharmacy, to deciding for whatever reason to stop taking a drug. Usually we don’t hear about these little issues until they impact the patient’s health or there is an un-expected major change in their behavior or quality of life.

Non-compliance exists in all age groups but is higher among older people, ranging from 26 percent to as high as 60 per-cent for patients 65 and older. 90 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries take prescription medications, and at least 50 per-cent of those take five or more drugs daily. The problem is that 55 percent of these Medicare participants do not follow their prescribed drug treatment plan.

Here are some reasons why seniors fail to follow the instruc-tions given to them by their doc-tors regarding their prescription medications:

1. A lack of understanding of the health benefits and need for the medicine

2. Financial challenges and the costs of some non-generic medicines

3. Poor communications

stop taking the medicine, justi-fying it by saying that the cure was worse than the problem.

Generally, the outcome for older patients who do not follow physician’s orders for medica-tions is not good. In some cases a disease continues to progress and becomes worse because the patient is not adhering to the drug use and dosing pro-tocols. That behavior can lead to further health complications. For many se-niors, failure to take their medi-cations leads to a reduction in their ability to function nor-mally, which in turn reduces their quality of life.

Drug noncompliance often leads to increased doctor’s vis-its or frequent hospitalizations. In severe cases noncompliance may result in admission to a skilled nursing facilities and in extreme cases of failure to adhere to prescribed drug dosing plan, it can lead to death.

Older patients want to feel that they have some control over their lives, and that can be achieved by empowering them in the compliance process. They must be made part of the dis-cussion and decision planning regarding their health and the need for medication. If they buy into the treatment plan they will be more likely to comply with it as prescribed.

Other ways to ensure com-pliance include making the

patient’s daily process of taking the medication part of a simple routine like having a pill box organizer that is set out as part of every meal, or creating a simple to do list and routine that includes taking medicines before or after breakfast or other meals, depending on the medication. Strict consistency is the key to this approach and must be done daily.

For patients with memory loss issues, support from family or a healthcare provider may

be necessary to assure compli-ance. Control-ling pain, stiff-ness, metabolic balances, heart rhy thms and other internal

body systems is key to having and enjoying a quality of life.

Talk with your doctor and pharmacist and know what daily medications and drug routines your loved one is taking. Take steps to support the habit pat-terns you want to establish, and integrate the patient’s taking those drugs into a daily routine that will eliminate the possibil-ity of his or her becoming part of an invisible epidemic.

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

After writing “Somewhere,” I decided to keep my theme on strays for one more week.

During the spring and early summer, we get inundated with kittens and puppies every year.

Our spay and neuter pro-grams, along with “Po’Kitties” has lessened the burden some-what, still, the numbers remain too high for them to be handled at F.H.S., especially those that come in without their mom-mas.

These animals need special care to help them get weaned and socialized. How do we do it? The answer is foster homes.

The wonderful people who t ake on th i s t a sk a re the lifeblood of our facility during these times and help save many lives.

A few months ago, my good friend and supporter, Chuck Davis approached me, “Len-nie, how do Virginia and I go about fostering some kittens?” I laughed, “Don’t you have enough on your plate without taking something like this on?” “I’m serious Lennie, Virginia and I love kittens and this is a way to help.” Before giving Chuck the info on how to become a foster parent, I explained all the pros and cons entailed. “Elaine and I have fostered many kittens,” I explained, “some with their mommas and some without. They’re frail and they’re vul-nerable and they’ll need extra watching. They’ll start getting into everything and as they grow you’ll become attached. Just when they start being playful and loving kittens, they’ll have to be brought back for they cannot get too attached to you. But if you understand what it’s all about, I can’t express the joy and pride you’ll feel as you learn your fos-ters have been placed in a forever

Best medicine #7: Foster homes

home.” Chuck was unwavering, so we went to the shelter, filled out the forms and they went on the waiting list for kittens.

A month later, Chuck and Vir-ginia were called because there

was a momma Calico and five k i t t e n s w h o needed foster-ing. True to their word, they went

down to F.H.S., received what was needed and took Asia and her five kittens home.

Every morning at breakfast, Chuck would relate to me the goings-on at his household. I’d just smile knowingly and give him advice where it was needed. I listened as his tales went from worrisome and daunting to playful and joyful. I was informed that it would be the last time they’d be fostering kittens. It’s not what you think, Chuck and Virginia adopted Asia and two of her kittens, Tora and Chisai. Now, each morning I hear new tales as the two kittens grow and Asia dutifully keeps an eye on them. I don’t have enough pages to tell each tale, but I can attest to how lovingly they are de-livered. Chuck is deeply involved with the Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, Kiwanis and V.F.W. The one thing that was missing is that he had a home without pets. Well, Asia, Tora and Chisai were pets without a home, if that’s not the best medicine for all con-cerned, I don’t know what is.

Thanks for listening.

Letter to the Editor

Letter from the tiny kingdomTo the Editor:

Summer has arrived and we have the temperatures to prove it! The wise elders (wise guys) who sit at the kingdom’s council table with hiz-honor-da-peoples-mayor, decided to drop the law suit that was intended to force a hundred or so people to become loyal minions of the Tiny King-dom. This was after the smartest guys in the room spent about a quarter of a million dollars on this foolishness.

As you know we have always had a few silver tongue devils living here in The Tiny Kingdom, well my friend the deal I’m about

to tell you about should win city slicker of the year award. The wise elders agreed to lease our historic railroad depot to this city slicker for 20 years and only charge him $1 per year! (Boy, he must have pictures!)

When the deal was announced, the city slicker said he was going to use his own money to restore the depot to its original 1906 appearance. Now, the town says it will apply for a $25,000 state grant and, in spite of the fact that it’s going broke, will contribute $5,000 in local funds for restora-tion of the depot. Plus the wise elders agreed to pay $1,000 from administrative services, I guess that means legal fees or trash pick-up, they’re both posted in the same column in the account-ing ledger.

Now the city slicker is quick to point out that he is contribut-ing $4,000 (about $20 per month over the 20 year lease period). Plus, because the city slicker is renting, he won’t have to pay any taxes and one of the garden clubs will maintain the depot’s beauti-ful landscape. What a deal!

Now here’s the kicker. If the depot is restored to its 1906 ap-pearance (the exterior has been restored so I assume everybody is talking about the interior) the city slicker will be conducting business in a large room with wooden benches and a small Sta-tion Master’s office with public access available only through a small barred window. (Give me two one-way tickets to Enronville please and one round trip to AIG Town.)

Just a reminder to the wise elders who are holding tight to the tiller of the good ship Tryon as they blunder their way toward the next sand bar, back in 1906 everything in public society in N.C. was duplicated! We all remember the bad ol’ days of segregation, so there will have to be a large waiting area for whites and a small waiting area for blacks, and two drinking fountains, etc. There may have been two ticket windows, like at the theater. And of course for historical accuracy everything will have to be labeled.

Well my friend I must go now. I’m off to visit the wise elders, I have a bridge in NYC they might be interested in buying. I’ll even put up $10 to help restore it!

– John Calure

Thomas donates scooters to benefit breast cancer research

Jerry Thomas and DayStar En-terprises donated scooters at the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club’s June show. Raffle tickets were sold for one scooter and an auction was held for the other. Together $2,023 was raised for breast can-cer. All of all monies raised were donated to the Bearden Josey Center for Breast Health through the Green Gate Fund.

Thomas wanted to give every-

one a chance to win while giving back to the community. “I am happy to be able to provide and give back and so very thankful for a healthy family. Sooner or later it will all make a differ-ence,” he says.

The Tryon Riding & Hunt Club, Laura Weicker, and Mitzi Lindsay assisted with this fund-raiser.


Flat Rock Playhouse presents ‘Rent’The 2010 acting apprentices and

technical interns of Flat Rock Play-house present the Broadway musical smash hit “Rent,” onstage for four performances in August.

“Rent” is a rock musical with

music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson. Loosely based on Puccini’s opera, “La Bohème,” “Rent” tells a story of a group of impoverished young artists, musicians and dancers struggling to get by, living in New York City’s once-

grungy East Village in the mid-1980s under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. Rent is onstage August 2 and 3 and August 9 and 10. Flat Rock Playhouse is located at 2661 Greenville Hwy in Flat Rock, N.C. Performances for both weeks are

Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. All tickets can be purchased by calling the Playhouse box office at 828-693-0731, toll-free at 866-732-8008 or online at www.flatrockplayhouse.org.

Regular room and board charges apply, but students are not required to stay on campus.

The session runs July 25

through August 10 with openings in clay, drawing, glass, metals, printmaking, wood, and a special class for artists in any media. Two clay classes are available. Sam Chung’s class will cover con-struction and glazing techniques for intermediate potters. Students in Kenneth Baskin’s class will make ceramic sculpture using slab construction.

In the drawing studio, Arthur Gonzalez will help students dis-cover and make drawings from their personal symbols (this class requires some drawing experi-ence). Glass artists Marc Petrovic and Ross Richmond will lead an intermediate-level class in hot glass sculpture, with an emphasis

on torch work.Jeweler Deb Karash will teach

an intermediate-level metals class in which students will impose various limitations on their work as a way of inspiring creativity.

Metalsmith Marlene True will inspire her students to make jewelry from tin cans combined with other materials. Printmak-ers Morgan Calderini and Nicole Chesney will cover a variety of techniques for making prints working with sheet glass as the printing plates.

Wood sculptor and furniture maker Wendy Maruyama will teach an intermediate-level class in creative woodworking. And sculptor Christina Shmigel will

teach an unusual class titled, “All About the Why,” that will use a variety of exercises and assign-ments to help students explore the sources of their own creativity.

Classes listed as intermediate level require some prior experi-ence. Other classes are open to stu-dents of all skill levels. Complete details are available in the summer classes section of the Penland website: www.penland.org.

To enroll, call the Penland reg-istrar at 828-765-2359, ext 15. The Penland Standby Program offers discounts to area residents who take unfilled spaces in Penland classes shortly before the classes begin.

Brown, Dorsey join Glassy Mountain Fire Department

aDam BroWn Brian Dorsey

Glassy Mountain Fire De-partment (GMFD) recently an-nounced that Adam Brown of Lyman, S.C., and Brian Dorsey of Moore, S.C., have joined the department under a SAFER Grant and will serve GMFD as career firefighters/emergency medical technicians (EMT). Brown will serve at headquarters; Dorsey will serve at the Oak Grove Station.

SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) Grants are awarded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Secu-rity’s Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency (FEMA). Ac-cording to FEMA, the grants were created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations to help increase the number of trained, “front-line” firefighters available in their communities.

A firefighter for seven years, Brown started as a volunteer firefighter for Tigerville Fire De-partment in 2003 and joined Lake Cunningham Fire Department as a career firefighter in 2006. Prior to joining GMFD, Brown served for one year as a contract fire-

fighter in Iraq with Wackenhut Contract Services.

Dorsey has been in the fire service for 18 years serving as both a career and volunteer firefighter/EMT with Westview/Fair Forest Fire Department, Acta Medical in Greenville as an EMT and most recently as a volunteer with the UNA Fire Department in Spartenburg.

“We continue to be grateful for the extra funding for career staff, with the growth and de-mands of our community, but we are always in need of volunteer firefighters and first responders to keep our community safe,” Bryan G. Riebe, chief of Glassy Mountain Fire Department, said. “Many folks do not know that we also need help from citizens who can provide support to the district but it doesn’t have to be fighting fires. We can use mechanics, electricians, painters, technical and legal experts, etc.”

If anyone wants more infor-mation on how to become part of the team, they should contact Riebe at 864-895-4306 or go to the website at www.gmfd.net.

For 74 years, Brevard Music Center has given students the op-portunity to better understand and prepare themselves for the profes-sional world of music. Its Summer Institute and Festival opened June 25.

Students from several foreign countries and almost every state in the U.S. spend seven weeks im-mersed in study, practice, and per-forming. Over 80 concerts, which include operas, musicals, as well as solo, chamber, and orchestral per-formances, are presented combin-ing forces of students, faculty, and guest artists in a mountain setting.

Most of the 400 students re-ceive scholarship aid, a portion of which has been provided from our foothills area by the following: The Sarah Darnall Memorial Scholar-ship Fund, Mrs. John G. Landrum, Jr. (Elizabeth), Muriel and Thomas Nash, The Mary Adelaide Canfield Hester Memorial Scholarship Fund, The John G. Landrum, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund, and

the Joe and Joella Utley Scholar-ship Fund.

For information about Brevard Music Center’s Summer Institute and Festival, visit their website at www.brevardmusic.org, or phone the box office toll free at 888-384-8682.

st. luke’s Hospital Board of Trustees chair susan McHugh and Becky Collins, chair of the Quality Committee, share the award with staff and general surgeon Dr. Jim Holleman. (photo submitted)

(ConTinueD on page 38)

St. Luke’s Hospital recognized for excellent patient satisfaction

The staff and medical staff of St. Luke’s Hospital have been recognized for their outstanding job of providing quality care to patients, once again rising to the top in patient satisfaction. St. Luke’s was named as a 2010 4-Star Award Hospital by Pro-fessional Research Consultants (PRC) for achieving excellence in patient satisfaction.

Hospital leaders from across the United States gathered in San Diego in June to participate in the 2010 PRC Excellence in Healthcare Conference host-ed by Professional Research Consultants, Inc. PRC is a nationally known healthcare marketing research company headquartered in Omaha, Ne.

In compliance with the Cen-ter for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS), St. Luke’s Hospital joined hospitals across the country to participate in CMS’ standardized patient satisfaction survey known as Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, or HCAHPS. Pro-nounced “H-caps,” the survey is the first national, standard-ized, publicly reported survey of patients’ perspectives of hospital care.

According to CMS, many

hospitals have collected infor-mation on patient satisfaction for their own internal use, but until HCAHPS there was no national standard for collecting and publicly reporting infor-mation about patient experi-ence of care that allowed valid comparisons to be made across hospitals locally, regionally and nationally.

For St. Luke’s Hospital, this inpatient service research is conducted by PRC. Following discharge from St. Luke’s, PRC professional surveyors contact patients via telephone for a confidential interview to assess their perceptions of patient care. The research findings are then presented to St. Luke’s to use in continuous improvement and enhancement of patient satis-faction. This data is also used to benchmark against other facili-ties in the Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS), which provides management assistance to St. Luke’s.

“We are thrilled to receive this Excellence in Healthcare Awards,” said St. Luke’s Presi-dent/Chief Executive Officer Ken Shull. “It was through

• St. Luke’s(ConTinueD From page 37)

the hard work, dedication and determination of St. Luke’s employees who have made St. Luke’s Hospital a better place for the entire community.”

St. Luke’s is a small, not for profit community hospital in Columbus, that provides a range of acute care services including a 24-hour physician-staffed Emergency Department, digital imaging capabilities, ge-riatric psychiatric care, wound and hyperbaric care, general surgical care and advanced or-thopaedic surgery and rehab.

This 4-Star Award desig-nation is given annually to healthcare facilities that score in the top 25 percent of facilities surveyed with scores between the 75th and 89th percentiles. It is based on the percentage of patients who rate the facil-ity “Excellent” for the Overall Quality of Care question. Three key drivers used to determine the Overall Quality of Care score include overall team-work between doctors, nurses and staff; staff’s courtesy and friendliness; and doctor’s cour-tesy and friendliness.

Specifically, St. Luke’s Hos-pital has received an 85 percent

average score for quality of care when compared to other hospitals across the country us-ing the same patient satisfaction perception survey tool.

“This survey provides impor-tant feedback that assists us in continually assessing how we’re doing as a place to work, a place to practice medicine, and a place to receive care,” says Shull. “Our employees, our physicians and our community have much to be proud of. At St. Luke’s Hospital, we remain committed to providing excellent customer service and exceptional care, close to home.”

Remember Whenby Garland Goodwin

By Garland O. Goodwin

Your scribe enjoyed reading about the Tryon Little Theater on the inside back page of the Bulletin for July 7. But like the “nostalgia” e-mails I have written about, these accounts just don’t go back far enough for this OLD guy. The 45-rpm discs with the big hole were new-fangled to one who remembers hand-cranked Vic-trolas that played quarter-inch thick “records” with grooves on only one side.

Likewise, the beautiful brick building by Lit-tle Creek on US 176 that younger Jeff remem-bers as housing a “furniture store” before TLT utilized it briefly was home to Mountain Industries when I was a boy. There were probably two dozen hand looms in there, operated tirelessly by local women to make cloth to be sold in craft and gift stores such as Blue Ridge Weavers in Tryon.

This budding engineer was fascinated by the looms, and had to go back for another look when he could not fig-ure out how the warp threads could be crossed and recrossed with a trough running through the shed to carry the shuttle back and forth. Turns out the trough was UNDER the shed, and the pointed ends of the shuttle allowed it to ride on the lower threads of the shed while still guided by the sides of the trough. I realize you would have to “be there” to understand this, and the best I

can do in a 700-word column is to send you to the Internet and the Wikipedia article on hand looms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom.

The building was quite noisy, what with the wood le-vers slapping the shuttle back and forth, and the loud swish of the heddles raising half of the threads to open the shed for the shuttle to pass. I cannot imagine ladies being able to do

this all morn-ing and again all afternoon, feet alternate-ly pushing down heavily on treadles to

open the shed, right arm yank-ing a rope to slap the shuttle through, and the left arm pulling the beam with reeds attached to tighten the fill yarn against the finished cloth. They got a bit of a break when they had to tighten up the roll of finished cloth. I think they worked fast and hard because they prob-ably were paid by how much cloth they wove rather than by the hour!

Not only hand weaving, but carding and spinning were commonplace in homes when I was a boy in the 30s. All the females I knew made quilts and did some form of knitting, crocheting or tatting. Even Mama Rippy, who worked like a field hand in her vegetable and flower gardens, did beauti-ful needlework when she could make time for it. She also liked to put jig-saw puzzles together, and when she had assembled “My Old Kentucky Home”

some color for the tlt storymany times, with its numerous identical windows and shrubs, she put it together once with the gray side up!

Now to the younger Rita’s account, I will add what the late Betty Doubleday Frost told me about the Drama Fortnightly: It began by gathering for script readings around a table. Soon friends started coming just to listen, and then the read-ers began to plan ahead and memorize their parts so that the lovers would not be hampered by their scripts and bifocals. Lead characters soon began to dress for their parts, and by then the audience size and a desire for sets to complete the illusion of reality required a theatre building.

I think the fine arts have flourished in Our Area because so many talented people have chosen to live here. I suppose they attract each other, and some of them even have the means to foot the large bills associated with bringing their love of the arts to life. My mother and Aunt Mildred did not “cram culture down my throat,” but rather shared their love of music and the fine arts with me so that I would come to love them too. I thank the people of Tryon for provid-ing one of the best secondary school systems anywhere, and for bringing the likes of Mrs. Mazzy here to broaden our education to include the fine arts.

May the Tryon Little The-ater and The Fine Arts Center continue to enrich our lives for years to come.

We have a village that helps childrenTo the Editor:

Many of you may or may not be aware that Polk County Schools operates a federally funded 21st Century Community Learning Cen-ters (21st CCLC) program which provides for Extended Learning Opportunities for students and their families.

As the Program Director, I want-ed to share with the community the partnerships we have forged with area organizations and to highlight a few of those collaborations.

Two local arts organizations, Tryon Arts and Crafts and the Tryon Fine Arts Center, eagerly agreed to host students in third through eighth grades for a two-week learning experience in June, one in the area of drama and the other in the area of arts and crafts. Students worked with many of your neighbors and friends to broaden their outlook on the world.

From blacksmithing to set de-sign, from nervously speaking in public for the first time to explaining to your parents the complexities of firing clay, students explored and developed an appreciation for their unique abilities and where those abilities can take them later in life: a priceless experience.

Families and students who had never set foot in either of these Grand Dames of Polk County felt welcomed in facilities where they could otherwise have felt uncom-fortable; this is a tribute to both of their fine staff.

Bringing families and students together to promote learning is the intent of this program and collabora-tion with the community is strongly encouraged. But, as I have become aware from other 21st CCLC Di-rectors across the state, this is most often easier said than done.

When I talk with professionals, both on local and state levels, about all of the resources that are available to us in Polk County, there is this sense of awe and envy for what we have grown accustomed to and take

for granted here. From what I have observed and have heard as I travel to meetings in cities like Raleigh, Greensboro and Charlotte, this generous spirit of community does not exist in other areas, or if it does, then not to the degree that it does here in Polk County.

During this year alone, our students have been entertained at the Children’s Theater Festival’s Super Saturday, have developed a caring spirit for animals from the volunteers of the Foothills Humane Society, have explored hobbies and careers in the arts from Tryon Arts and Crafts, have fortified their self esteem through the camaraderie of theater at the Tryon Fine Arts Cen-ter, have broadened their knowledge of natural science and the environ-ment with the staff from FENCE and have come to appreciate the value of character from the staff at Steps to HOPE.

They have worked with the Extension Office on Community Service, attended performances at Roger’s Park, have employed gar-dening tips from the Saluda Garden

Club and have been the recipients of much-needed weekend food sup-plies from Thermal Belt Outreach. The list goes on and on as these are just a few the organizations that I have been directly involved with over the years. So in this current economic state where many of our treasured organizations are strug-gling to survive, I am concerned about what we might lose as a community and once lost, how life will be forever changed in our quite corner of Western North Carolina.

I am in awe of the caring and generous folks who make up the Boards of Directors, who volunteer and who support and sustain the local organizations and agencies that make each of our lives fuller. Many of you may not be aware of how far your donations of time and money reach and nurture not just our children, but all of us.

It has become cliché to say that “it takes a village,” but I know first hand that Polk County has truly given substance to that notion and we are all richer as a result.

– Emily H. Bartlett

Colonel Stacy Yike assumes command of 66th Air Base GroupCol. Stacy L. Yike, the

daughter of Roger and Marilyn Yike of Columbus, was recently named the commander of the newly activated 66th Air Base Group, Hanscom Air Force Base, Ma. The group supports the acquisition mission provid-ing base, regional and readiness support for Electronic Systems Center, six Program Execution Offices, AF Research Labora-tory and MIT Lincoln Labora-tory.

The support region includes eight operating locations, 122,000 sq. miles, 350 pro-grams with a $4.2B authority, 7.5M sq ft of facilities and over 200 geographically separated units composed of 20,000 mili-tary, civilian, contractors, de-pendents and 155,000 retirees in the six-state New England area and New York.

Colonel Yike received her commission as a distinguished

graduate in the Air Force Re-serve Officer Training Corps scholarship program at Clemson University in South Carolina in 1989. She began her career in satellite system acquisition with assignments first at Los Angeles AFB, Ca., and then the National Reconnaissance Office in Chantilly, Va. During this time, she participated in a space shuttle launch of the De-fense Support Program satellite and developed groundbreaking international agreements to collaborate with U.S. allies on space systems.

Her Air staff tours include serving as a Congressional Liaison Officer and the Deputy Director of Mission Support, Congressional and Budget for the Directorate of Space Acqui-sition. As an action officer on Joint Staff, she supported co-alition activities from Western European allies for Operations

Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.

At the squadron level, Colo-nel Yike commanded the 338th Training Squadron at Keesler AFB where she led 200 per-sonnel in the training of 5,000 airmen annually to develop communications-electronic systems maintainers for the United States Air Force.

“Air Force Print News To-day” released the following press release about Yike’s new position:

“Col. Stacy L. Yike, com-mander of the newly activated 66th Air Base Group, has two priorities: the mission and the people who make it happen.

“‘These priorities certainly aren’t new to anyone who has been around the Air Force,’ she said. ‘They form the foundation that we all live by. Hanscom is full of experts who already know how to accomplish the

mission, so my part is easy. I get to ensure the people have what they need to take care of themselves and take care of the mission.’

“While Colonel Yike has served in diverse roles through-out her career, in each of them she has served as a translator - not just interpreting lan-guage, as she did in Portugal as an Olmsted scholar, but also conveying user requirements to engineers as she did while working satellite programs. While serving with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, she worked with Western European allies to build the coalition in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. On Air Staff she developed the Air Force message on the space budget priorities.

• Col. Yike(ConTinued From page 42)

“Being a commander is different, Colonel Yike said. Her experience includes com-manding the 338th Training Squadron at Keesler Air Force Base, Miss., where she led 200 personnel in the training of 5,000 Airmen annually to develop communications-elec-tronic systems maintainers for the Air Force.

“‘You can’t compare com-mand to any other assignment, but my ‘translator’ skills come

in handy by helping individu-als understand how their job contributes toward fulfilling the overall mission,’ Colonel Yike explained. ‘Our mission here at Electronic Systems Center is to build communication systems and take that capability to the Warfighter. The 66th Air Base Group exists to make sure the ESC mission is realized. We as a base must be very tightly inte-grated, and I want to continue to drive towards that. Seeing our individual missions as support-ing each other, and not just as individual contributions, helps

us better support the overall Air Force mission.’

“One of the near term chal-lenges to accomplish the mis-sion will be resources. Colonel Yike adds that the perspective of fiscal shortages is not just a Hanscom issue or even an Air Force issue, but one that most Americans are facing today.

“‘We are figuring out at an individual level how to manage the resources we have within our own families,’ she said. ‘The Air Force mission is no different. As stewards of the American tax dollar, we have

to make sure we’re doing our part.’

“Colonel Yike’s guiding principle is to engage in activi-ties that make a difference.

“‘That is the reason I have remained in Air Force all these years,’ she said. ‘I always felt like I was doing something that mattered.’”

“‘I look forward to being a part of Hanscom Air Force Base and contributing to the mission that makes a difference in our Air Force and our nation,’ Yike said.”



Racism is fear of the differentTo the Editor:

In Wednesday’s paper, a lady took the Birdland Writer to task for believing that racism is at the bottom of the Arizona “Show Me

Your Papers” Law. She ends with the statement that what he is look-ing at is fear.

Since I spent the first 29 years of my life in the Southwest--including graduating from the University of New Mexico and teaching in NM for four years, I can categorically state that racism historically runs deep there — and

it is not too difficult to find it. It is true that it is less respect-

able now than it was when I was growing up, but it is there nonetheless.

On the other hand, it is per-fectly true that the Arizona Im-migration Law is based on fear, because much of racism is simply fear of the differently colored.

Since much of the current “debate” on immigration is based on an irrational sentiment, we can expect little progress in this area until we recognize the reality of fear and determine to work to-wards rational solutions — based on democratic, humanitarian principles.

St. Luke’s Hospital board discusses quality, satisfactionSt. Luke’s Hospital was re-

cently named as a 2010 4-Star Award Hospital by Professional Research Consultants (PRC) for achieving excellence in patient satisfaction. Ken Shull, president and chief executive officer for St. Luke’s Hospital, told the board of trustees that the hospital scored in the top 25 percent of facilities surveyed with patient satisfac-tion scores between the 75th and 89th percentiles. Specifically, St. Luke’s Hospital has received an 85 percent average score for quality of care when compared to other hospitals across the country using the same patient satisfac-tion perception survey tool.

During the board’s monthly meeting, Shull provided an up-

date on the hospital’s focus on improved patient satisfaction and the importance of excellent cus-tomer service to be competitive with neighboring hospitals. This data, and other quality indicators, will be used in the future to deter-mine maximum reimbursement from Medicare/Medicaid and eventually, from private payors, Shull said.

To ensure the hospital is pro-viding cost-efficient care, the hospital is currently undergoing a productivity analysis, utilizing resources and assistance from Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS) of Charlotte. The analysis, Shull told the board, will provide a benchmark for appropriate staffing for the hospital’s size and

volume. Already, positions have gone unfilled or reassigned in an effort to meet the appropriate staff-to-patient ratios.

Reviewing performance in-dicators with the board, Shull reported lower patient volumes for the month of June which will negatively affect the hospital’s finances. However, he said, the hospital is slowly moving to a better position financially after a tenuous fall of 2009.

In other business, the board received a report and information flow chart from Becky Collins, chair of the new quality commit-tee, and a report on board assess-ment from E&N Committee Chair Sandra McCormack, MD. Founda-tion Chair Norm Powers reported

that St. Luke’s Spring Fling was very successful, bringing fundrais-ing to $893,000 to date. Also, the hospital received a $20,000 grant from the Polk County Community Foundation to help fund comput-ers for bedside care and electronic medical records.

Prior to the meeting, the board recognized Cindy Littlejohn, an x-ray technologist, who was se-lected as employee of the quarter. Board members also welcomed Jimmy Hines, the new director of the Polk-Rutherford-McDowell Health Department, who encour-aged St. Luke’s Hospital and the public health department to collaborate to improve the health and wellbeing of Polk County.

DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local couple happened upon a skinny little Appaloosa mare in a dirt lot. Her owner no longer wanted to trail ride her; she wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew a few things about horses and decided to take her home with them and find the little mare a new family. Some extra food, good grass and a few trail rides later this couple put an ad up in the local feed store.

At this very same time, a sweet “horse crazy” young girl had convinced her parents to let her take some riding lessons. She caught the bug and now dreamed of having her own horse. After some poking and prodding her parents answered an ad they found at the local feed store: an Appaloosa mare – for sale!

The little girl, whose name is Amanda, met the little mare, who’s name is Nia, and as most dreams happen (when they come true) it was destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take lessons from a local profes-sional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dres-sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country course and stadium jump-ing. They ended up high point!

FHS seeks to help sheriff obtain proper transport To the Editor:

The Polk County Sheriff’s budget this year includes money for a new truck and “box” to transport dogs to replace the cur-rent aged equipment which does not comply with NC minimum standards.

It was hoped that the money could be found in the budget for a climate controlled box, but only the minimum “fresh air” ventila-tion system was approved.

This equipment will be in service for many years, and only $2,100 more would pay for heating and air conditioning necessary to keep the dogs in a

comfortable temperature range year round. Most of the animals are stressed enough by the ex-perience, without the additional problems caused by of transport in extreme temperatures, which can cause heat stroke, shock and hypothermia.

Foothills Humane Society thinks this equipment is really important for the welfare of the hundreds of dogs Animal Con-trol delivers to the shelter every year.

If you could help with a dona-tion of any amount to help pay for the climate controlled dog box, please send it to Foothills Humane Society, 989 Little Mountain Road, Columbus, NC 28722 with the notation Polk County Animal Control.

They need to order this box by July 20th, so time is short.

The uniformTo the Editor:

Here is a poem that suits my feelings for coaching my son for the last time. It has been the great-est thing in the world. Thank you for the memories

The UniformFor eight long years I’ve

washed this suit and goodness, what a chore!

I’ve scrubbed the grass, the blood and dirt, the stains and grime galore.

I’ve held it very gingerly as I dropped it in the wash

While thinking, “Next week, wash again – O gee, Oh lord, Oh gosh!”

I’ve opened all the windows as I squirted on the Shout

I’ve breathed the fumes that clogged my lungs, of that I have no doubt.

The fortune on detergent, the time I’ve spent – I shudder!

I’ve scrubbed out so much sweat and mud you now can call me “Mudder”!

But now I’ve washed this uni-form for the last and final time

And after all those years of drudger, I did not see the grime.

Instead I saw the boy who wore it, with such pride and dignity

And suddenly that athletes suit looked beautiful to me.

I saw the dedication of my young man to the team

His pride to wear the uniform, to play the game and dream.

I felt the cheering of the crowd, the tumult at the end

The heart, the spunk, respect and pat of every loyal friend.

The character and commit-ment that this jersey helped to mold

And the precious boy who wore it are more valuable than gold.

My wish now recreation play is over and I face it’s closing door

Would be to wash this uniform another season more.

– John David Edwards

Guice explains vote against 2010 state budgetTo the Editor:

This afternoon I made the fol-lowing remarks on the floor of the North Carolina House of Repre-sentatives against the budget bill. I still believe that we must find a better way to conduct the busi-ness of the people in Raleigh.

My friends I stand before you today as a humble servant of the people of my home district and all people throughout North Carolina. Since joining this chamber in January of 2009 I have come to know many of you around this room as friends. At the very least, you all now know me as someone that will reach across the aisle and put the needs of the people of North Carolina first. Always!

Once again we are faced with a terrible budgetary situation and once again I stand here on the floor of the North Carolina House of Representatives and say to you that the people of North Carolina deserve better. The process re-mains broken. We still have not established priorities and we still have not made funding decisions based on these priorities.

As members of this legisla-tive body we were handed an appropriations act yesterday that we are expected to debate and vote on by the end of today. We are digging a financial hole that will take us generations to fix. We are elected to represent the people and give a voice to their needs and their concerns.

I sat down and read through

this budget and I have to ask the question, where is the voice and the will of the people? Where is the vision from this legislative body? We are tasked with chart-ing a course, a strong and positive course, for the people of North Carolina. Have we done that? I would say no.

The people expect us to work in a bi-partisan manner to address their issues and by not allowing everyone in this chamber the opportunity to sit at the table we have not done that. The people of North Carolina deserve better...the people of North Carolina deserve our best efforts.

Colleagues, I have another question for you. As a state government, what is our greatest asset? If you answered our state employees are our greatest asset you are correct. This budget, if adopted, does not fulfill our promise to our state employees. State government makes a prom-ise to each employee when they are hired that they will have a top notch retirement system in place when it comes time for them to retire.

Based on this appropriations act it is very possible that we will shirk that responsibility this year. We must fund our state retirement system at the levels required to support and protect the promises that have been made to our state employees. The time is now to stand up and say that we are going to do better by our state employees and indeed all people throughout North Carolina. If you are newly out of college, what is the incentive to be a state employee in North Carolina?

I think we can all agree that, unless you are a top department executive who does not work

in the field; the pay is not that great. As members of this body we have talked and talked about how the state health plan is in dire straits. And now we are once again talking about not funding the state retirement system at the required levels. Shame on us. What is interesting to me is that I have heard for years from people I have great respect for that this is just how the North Carolina General Assembly would treat state employees.

One of those people is my high school principal, Mr. Tom-my Koontz. Unfortunately, I can report back to him that he was right. We have an obligation to our state employees and all people throughout North Caro-lina because yes, they deserve better.

Trust me, I could go on and on about the negative points in this budget, but they are too nu-merous to mention here today. I support our teachers, our fire-fighters, our law enforcement officers, our small business leaders, our nonprofits - truly all of those people throughout North Carolina who sacrifice daily to make their neighbor’s lives better.

Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I cannot and will not support this bill. The people of North Caro-lina deserve better.

The people have been lis-tening. The people have been watching. And yes, the people have been paying attention. Soon it will be time for the people to speak and I believe that they will speak with a resolute voice that change is needed in Raleigh.

Tips To Help You Stay Fraud-Free Give a thief your wallet and

he'll steal for a day. Give him your personal information and he'll steal for life. Nobody wants to become the victim of fraud. Here are some tips to stay pro-tected:

• Stay on top of your finan-

cial activities. A lot can happen when you're not paying attention. Check your bank statements often and carefully, and don't wait until the end of the month to review them. Make sure to report any-thing suspicious immediately.

at least for a little while dur-ing Coon Dog Day in saluda saturday, Chaos ruled.

and saluda native William Whitman couldn’t have been prouder.

His 13-month-old plott Hound – registered as show Champion Knight rider’s Complete Chaos – came away a winner as Best Junior plott Male.

“this feels absolutely won-derful,” said Whitman, who has attended Coon Dog Day annually since he was a child and has com-peted as a breeder the past three

years. “I was born and raised in saluda, and we wanted to win in our hometown. It’s an honor.”

While Coon Dog Day and the accompanying hound competi-tion has been around for nearly 50 years, Whitman is relatively new to the world of competitive show dogs. He has been breed-ing, handling and showing for 3½ years.

But Whitman said a sense of community among breeders – even those in competition with one another – has helped him and Chaos get to this point.

“I’ve gotten a lot of advice

from (fellow breeders),” Whit-man said. “You have to know how to take criticism and you have to listen to them. they really do try to help the young people in the sport.”

Whitman’s goal, like most in the game, is to raise a dual cham-pion – a championship hunter and show dog.

It won’t be easy.“there are so many differ-

ent facets to this sport,” he said. “You’ve got to spend time with your dogs and work with your dogs. You’re either all-in or

Like most festivals, Coon Dog Day is about a good time.

Have a beverage, have some food, see your friends.

But under a tent on the Saluda School ball field on the south end of town is where Coon Dog Day becomes serious business.

I consider myself a dog person – I like them and they, for the most part, like me. My 8-year-old Boston terrier, Har-ley, is pretty much my kid.

But Coon Dog Day attracts real dog people, the ones who spend countless hours and good fortune seeking a champion.

the alphabet soup of ken-nel clubs doesn’t really matter beyond a little politics, but winning certainly does, whether showing or hunting or both. Winners are crowned and hard work is rewarded.

From a sports standpoint, this past weekend’s coondog competitions – hunting, show-ing and treeing – are not exactly what you see on cable televi-sion coming to you live each year from Madison square gar-den. there are no handlers, no tuxedos and no Labra-doodles.

there are no hair stylists and the only perfume is applied to a stuffed raccoon – an apparent gallon or so of odiferous, eye-burning natural ’coon oils, and they’re strong enough to open up the nasal passages of dead coondogs from graves in Dark Corners.

the stuffed raccoon is in a cage and hoisted to the top of a tree that looks like it doubles as the tent center pole and the dogs come in and bark. the dog that barks the most over the course of a minute is the treeing con-

Competitors got their chances at an elusive dual championship during Coon Dog Day, which featured a United Kennel Club licensed hunt on Friday night as well as a Bench show and treeing contest on saturday.

simmons stylish sally, a 7-year-old treeing Walker fe-male owned by Chris simmons of Crammerton, N.C., was the over-all Nite Hunt winner Friday.

saturday afternoon, phantom’s Montana Mayflower, a 2½-year-old Black-and-tan female owned and handled by Brandon ted-der of Hartsville, s.C., won the Bench show. rock, a 3-year-old english Hound entered by Jerry Byers and grandson Dustin Cromer, 8, of Cowpens, s.C., won the treeing contest.

this year’s events raised more than $2,000 for st. Jude’s Chil-dren’s Hospital in Memphis, tenn.

It was the first year of involve-ment in Coon Dog Day for the UKC, which took over reins of the competition from the better-known american Kennel Club.

“We’re tickled to be a part of this,” said allen gingerich,

director of the UKC hound com-petition. “We see nothing but growth as far as this event is concerned.”

During this past weekend’s competition, six of the seven coonhound breeds recognized by the UKC had seen competi-tion. only the american Leopard Hound, first recognized by the UKC in 2008, was absent.

Whitman said while the aKC is pervasive among all sorts of breeders around the U.s. and the southeast, the UKC is more prev-alent among coonhound breeders in the western Carolinas.

“I think we’re going to see a lot more hounds competing here because more of them are UKC registered in this area,” he said.

I couldn’t help but think about Uno, the beagle that struck a blow for ordinary dogs everywhere by winning Best in show at the Westminster Ken-nel Club extravaganza in 2008.

Uno, who was everyman in a dog suit, got to ring the opening bell on Wall street.

Maybe the dogs competing at Coon Dog Day such as ace and gaffer and pumpkin, Dixie and gypsy won’t get to ring that bell.

But at least they didn’t have to share the stage with a foo-foo smelling poodle in a bouffant cut. How undignified.

What trumps what in end of life decisions?

Q. If health care power of attorney and a living will are in conflict, which will prevail?A. The living will.

North Carolina General Statutes §32A-15(c) provides that the living will prevails over a contradictory health care power of attorney. Interestingly when the language of a health care power is in conflict with a person’s anatomical gift declaration, the anatomical gift declaration also prevails. A health care power of attorney, however, will prevail over a general durable power of attorney in the event of a conflict.

Art and collectibles in your estate

Q. I have collected art throughout my life; some of it is quite valuable. Is it included in my estate for tax purposes?A. Just like any other asset, art work or other collectibles are included in valuing your estate for estate tax purposes. the value that is included is the fair market value calculated as of your date of death. Frequently we find that a client’s beneficiaries do not share the client’s passion for the collection and may have little or no appreciation of its value. In that case other plans should be formulated for the disposition of the collection upon the death of the collector. If a charitable contribution is contemplated, there are some complex tax rules for valuing the contribution. You should advise your attorney and financial advisors regarding your collection and seek their input on the best way to handle it from an estate and income tax perspective.

Dear Savvy Senior,My 80-year-old mother lives

alone about an hour from me and I worry about her health and safety. Outside of the tele-phone, what types of caregiving devices can you recommend that can help me keep tabs on her?

Concerned SonDear Concerned,There are many different

tools and technologies avail-able today that can help adult children keep tabs on their ag-ing parent when they can’t be there. Here are some popular options and new products to check into.

Senior Help LineOne of the biggest concerns

among families that have an elderly parent or relative living alone is them falling and need-ing help. For this, a “personal emergency response system” or PERS is the most affordable solution. For about $1 a day (available through companies like lifelinesys.com, lifealert.com and lifefone.com) you can rent the equipment which in-cludes a small transmitter (SOS button) that your mom would wear, giving her the ability to call for help any time she needs to. The drawbacks, however, are that many seniors forget to wear their SOS button regularly, and if they do have it on and fall, they still have to be alert enough to actually push the button.

Upgraded PERSIf you’re willing to spend

a little more (around $50 a month), there are several more sophisticated PERS on the mar-ket. One of them is Wellcore (wellcore.com), a new device that has fall detection sensors in the SOS button that can

automatically summon help without the user having to press a button. Plus, it will beep to remind your mom to put it on, and if she doesn’t, it will notify you. And, when paired with a compatible cellphone, it can even be used outside the home. Halo Monitoring (halomonitor-ing.com) also offers fall detec-tion products, as does Philips (lifelinesys.com), maker of the popular Lifeline Medical Alert Service who just introduced an AutoAlert option.

Home MonitoringAnother more expensive op-

tion for keeping tabs on your mom is with a “home monitor-ing system.” These systems come with sensors, placed in key areas of your mom’s home that learn her daily patterns and notify you if something out of the ordinary is happening. For example, if your mom doesn’t get out of bed at her usual time, or if she went to the bathroom and didn’t leave it could indicate a fall or other emergency. The great thing about this type of system is it requires no input from your mom, and you can check in on her anytime through a password-protected website. You can find these systems at companies like GrandCare (grandcare.com), Healthsense (healthsense.com), and CloseBy (closebynetwork.com), with prices ranging from several hundred to several thousand dol-lars, depending on the options you choose.

Medication ManagementIf you’re worried your mom

not keeping up with her medica-

tions, there are a wide variety of pill organizers, medication dispensing and alarm systems (see epill.com) that can help. One of the best new systems on the market is TabSafe (tabsafe.com). A home-based device that dispenses medicine on schedule, providing reminders to ensure she takes it on time, and will notify you or other caregivers if her pills aren’t taken.

Medication reminding ser-vices like OnTimeRx (ontim-erx.com) or Check-in Friends (checkinfriends.com) can also be helpful. For a small fee, these services will call your mom to remind her to take her medi-cation. Pillphone.com offers a similar service for wireless phones only.

CommunicationVideophones have become

an increasingly popular tool for keeping in touch with older loved ones from afar. If you’re not familiar with them, vid-eophones are like a telephone with a built-in camera and video screen that gives you the ability to see the person you’re talking to in real time. Two of the best on the market today are the “ASUS Videophone Touch” that works with Skype (skype.com), and the “ACN IRIS 3000” (myacn.com). Both require a high speed Internet connection and are simple to use. Or, if your mom, and you, both have a home computer and a Webcam you can video chat online.

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

Families at both the Polk County and Saluda public libraries were treated to a swashbuckling program of adventure, history, magic and most of all, reading. Tim Sonnefeldt brought his “Pirates of the Carolinas” program to the Polk County and Saluda libraries as part of the libraries’ Summer Reading Program, “Make a Splash at Your Library.” (photo submitted)

‘pirates of the carolinas’ Visit polk libraries

Sponsors sought to bring traveling exhibit to Polk library

“Held on the Homefront: German POWs in the U.S.,” a museum exhibit traveling across the country in a bus, is seeking sponsors to underwrite an exhibit stop in Columbus at the Polk County Library. The available dates are Sept. 14-17, 2010.

Exhibit organizers say Mark Pomphrey, director of the Polk li-brary, would welcome the exhibit if sponsors can be found.

The exhibit is part of “Traces,” a non-profit educational organi-zation created to gather, preserve and present stories of people from the Midwest and Germany or Austria who encountered each other during World War II.

“Many of these stories have lain beneath the dust left in the wake of a World War most never thought touched the American Heartland. Traces brushes away

that dust, unearthing an amazing legacy,” says the organization’s website (www.traces.org). “As we learn about these stories, may we rise above – and eventually defeat – the prejudices, fears and conflicts that otherwise demean and destroy us.”

For more information, call 651-646-0400, email [email protected] or check the website www.TRACES.org.
