by John Clayton

The local portion of the Palmetto Trail, which is pri-marily composed of a section called “The Blue Wall,” has been open and in use for some time.

But the rest of the Palmetto Trail, a proposed 425-mile hik-ing and/or cycling trail that will link South Carolina’s beaches, Midlands and Upstate, has been hit by lean economic times like almost everything else.

“The trail was being fund-ed by the state, which had a lot of interest in seeing it completed,” said Jim Majors, a retired engineer in charge of trail planning and con-

F250 pickup was seized in Inman, searched by police and taken to the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Department impound, said Landrum Police Chief Bruce Shelnut.

“We found a truck described

as the one at the scene leaving the bank,” said Shelnut. “We did a search of it this morning, but we didn’t find anything that connected the truck back to the robbery itself.”

The truck’s owner was inter-viewed by police and is consid-

struction in the Upstate. “But (the state) stopped funding it a couple of years ago, so we’ve had to find other funding.”

Majors said the trail remains about 60 percent complete, but efforts are ongoing to both finish the Palmetto Trail and expand the Blue Wall section of it.

He also said a new six-mile section of the Palmetto Trail in Greenville County from Moun-tain Page Road to old Highway 25 is scheduled for construction this fall. That new trail would lead to Greenville-based trails such as Swamp Rabbit Trail, which winds from Greenville to Traveler’s Rest, and the Poinsett Reservoir Passage, which ends now at Orchard Park Campground.

“The object is to connect Blue Wall and the trails in the Greenville Watershed to Cae-sar’s Head and then to Table Rock,” Majors said.

The Blue Wall Passage alone is about 14 miles long, begin-ning in Landrum on FENCE property and winding toward and around Lake Lanier and then westward to Vaughn’s Gap.

The Blue Wall Passage is for hikers only. Campsites have

• Palmetto Trail(Continued from page 1)

• Getaway truck(Continued from page 1)

been closed because campers were breaking trail rules.

“I walked it about a month ago, and it’s in pretty good shape,” said Majors.

Majors said winter ice storms and other strong winds had downed a few trees along the trail. He has cleared some himself and expects to do that again later this summer.

“We had a tough winter this year – with a lot of blow-downs and deadfalls,” he said. “I still have a few to get in there and cut out.”

The Blue Wall Passage is only open to hikers, but Majors said mountain bikers continue to “make outlaw trails” along the route. He reminded hikers that the Palmetto Trail is the only official hiking trail at the Blue Wall Passage.

Majors said the Palmetto Conservation Foundation, which oversees the Palmetto Trail, is also seeking trail monitors in this area, specifically for the Poinsett Reservoir Passage.

“If anybody is interested in adopting that section as a trail monitor and hiking it once a quarter or so and letting us know if there are any problems with it, they can contact us,” Majors said.

ered a suspect in the robbery, but no arrests have been made, Shelnut said.

The robber was described as a black male standing be-tween 5'8" and 5'10" tall with a medium build, while the driver of the truck was described as a white male. The robber handed the clerk a note and escaped with an undisclosed amount of money after leaving through the back door.

According to reports, several

City of Landrum employees spotted the suspect in a late 1980s or early 1990s model Ford F250 pickup with the back window broken out. The suspect reportedly jumped into the back of the truck, which also had a fifth-wheel tailgate.

The tag number of the truck ended in “4EY,” but witnesses did not identify the remainder of the tag or the state.

Anyone with additional in-formation regarding the rob-bery is urged to contact the Landrum Police Department at 864-457-7281.

Grant keeps O.P. Earle after-school program aliveby John Clayton

A federal grant attained through the efforts of the Boys and Girls Club of the Upstate will keep a successful after-school program open at Lan-drum’s O.P. Earle Elementary School.

The $375,000 grant was one of 13 across the state received from 21st Century Community Learning Centers grants, which are authorized by the No Child Left Behind law. The $375,000 will be divided equally between O.P. Earle of Spartanburg Dis-trict One and Pacolet Elemen-tary of District Three, giving each school $187,500.

Boys and Girls Club of the Upstate President Greg Tolbert wrote the grant, which replaced the expiring grant District One officials previously had in place for the program.

“These grants usually have a non-profit organization that manages it, and in this case, it’s the Boys and Girls Club,” said O.P. Earle Principal Nita High. “They’re going to provide some academic support as well as other opportunities.”

Tolbert was out of town and could not be reached for com-ment.

Students are to receive sup-plemental academic instruction and tutoring in the four core subjects as well as mentoring. Recreational and arts activities will also be part of the program, according to Ann Greene, as-sistant superintendent for cur-riculum instruction and staff development for District One.

The after-school program will continue to be open until 6 p.m. each school day and be free to the families of O.P. Earle students.

“When we knew the grant that I wrote last year was go-ing to expire, we contacted the Boys and Girls Club,” Greene said. “We knew this was a won-derful program to accelerate

students' learning.”She said she expects the

program to mirror a successful after-school program the dis-trict has had ongoing at Inman Elementary with about an hour of classroom instruction and the other time filled with indoor and outdoor recreational activities and other programs designed to “enrich character develop-ment.”

The grant, which is sched-uled to last for four years, provides funding for up to 125 students.

“With funding for that many kids, I think we can service all those students who need it,” said Greene.

Greene said some O.P. Earle parents have grown to depend on the after-school program because in many cases both parents work and during tough economic times find it difficult to budget for child care.

“There has been consider-able gnashing of teeth with some parents when we didn’t know whether or not we’d be able to offer this program,” Greene said. “A lot of the par-ents have depended on it and have liked it because there’s no worry about after-school pick up, and they know their children are on campus in a safe, school setting.”

The Boys and Girls Club will control the budget for the program. Greene said she ex-pects most of the funds to go to salaries and stipends for the staff, while some moneys will be spent on supplies and other needs for the program.

High said she expects the program to be running by the middle of the first week of school, which begins Aug. 16.

“I hope we have a lot of stu-dents take advantage of it,” said High. “It’s a great opportunity for parents who now have to pay for childcare to get it for free during the school year.”

Landrum man jailed after gunfireby John Clayton

A Landrum man was ar-rested Saturday and charged with discharging a firearm into a dwelling and with five counts of pointing/presenting a firearm.

Tola William Bruce Jr., 63, of 324 Irish Hills Lane in Landrum, was arrested after a neighbor called 911 with a report of hearing gunshots fired and something hitting the neighbor’s house just before 11 a.m. Saturday. According to an incident report, a bullet hole and slug were found in the

neighbor’s kitchen cabinet.Bruce told police his 34-year-

old daughter left home in a van with a group of people that he disapproved of, and he fired at the back bumper and rear tire of the van in an attempt to stop the vehicle.

According to online jail re-cords, Bruce was released from the Spartanburg County Jail Sun-day after posting $6,000 bail.

Landrum Police Chief Bruce

Shelnut said he does not recall any previous incidents involv-

ing Bruce.“We didn’t run

a criminal his-tory, but I don’t recall having any previous dealings with him,” Shel-nut said.

Shelnut is classifying the incident as a domestic dispute, but was disturbed by the stray bullets finding the neighbor’s house.

“That’s how innocent people get killed,” Shelnut said.

Rep. Jeff Miller lags behind Shuler in fundsRepublican Jeff Miller, who

is making a bid to unseat Demo-cratic Rep. Heath Shuler, is running behind in one critical area: campaign funding.

Shuler, of Waynesville, raised $185,399 in the second quarter, according to his report filed with the Federal Election Commission. And he began the third quarter with $1.43 million in cash.

Miller, a Hendersonville businessman, raised $117,347 from April through June, but after a tough primary campaign against Dan Eichenbaum, he started this month with $65,056 in his campaign account.

Miller says Shuler is now beholden to the special interest groups who give him money. In the second quarter, $146,500 of Shuler's fundraising came from political action committees. Those PACs represent a variety of interests, with many from the health care sector.

Miller received $1,000 in the second quarter from a PAC, the South Financial Group Good Government Fund, based in Greenville, S.C.

Miller spent $108,444 dur-

ing the second quarter. His largest outlays were $19,800 to Rising Tide Media Group based in Alexandria, Va., for video work, $19,721 to Starboard Communications in Lexington, S.C., for automated phone calls and direct mail printing, and $21,855 to Strategic Media Services in Washington for a TV commercial. He loaned his campaign $30,000.

Shuler spent $49,625, with much of that going for pay-roll.

Most national political pun-dits, such as the Cook Political Report, rate the race in Shuler's favor but include it among races

that could still be in play.In Miller's favor is the gen-

eral strength of the Republican party in the 11th District. Re-publican Sen. John McCain carried the 11th District over Democrat Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race by a 52-47 margin. Nationally, polls in-dicate voters are leaning toward supporting Republicans in the November election. And when asked which party's candidate they'd support in a “generic” congressional ballot, voters now favor the GOP by 6 percentage points, a possible sign of an impending electoral sweep.

Article 7: Contributions

(over $75.00) involves a quid pro quo provide donor with a statement of the deductible (or non-deductible) portion. The nonprofit should also educate donors on the rules that apply to them.

After the nonprofit provides written acknowledgement to the donor for their contribution what does the donor do? For non-cash gifts the donor must substantiate fair value, file Form 8283 for non-cash gifts over $500, ob-tain and file qualified appraisal for items over $5,000, obtain and keep written acknowledge-ment. A couple of things donors cannot do with contributions. Donors cannot deduct value of personal services or use of property. However they may be able to deduct unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses (but rules are complicated). Donors can-not deduct foreign gifts. They can only deduct foreign gifts if given to a US organization for a foreign program.

The next several articles will continue to focus on finances and accounting.

As the Nonprofit Leadership column continues the series on Management and Fiscal Ac-countability for Nonprofits, this article will focus on contribu-tions.

Nonprofit contributions rules are set by SFAS (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards) #116. Their definition of con-tributions are; A contribution is defined as an unconditional, nonreciprocal transfer of as-sets, relief of liabilities, use of facilities or utilities (including advertising), or provision of services.

Once the nonprofit receives a contribution it should be rec-ognized as soon as it is received or unconditionally promised. Usually the nonprofit will send written acknowledgement for all gifts. The written acknowledge-ment should include amount of gift, or description of non-cash gift. (Better not to furnish donor with valuation information for non-cash items). The written ac-knowledgment should also have a statement as to whether any-thing of value was exchanged. If the gift was a payment the writ-ten acknowledgement should be a statement that the payment was a gift as opposed to pay-ment for goods or services. If the nonprofit receives a gift that

One on One by D.G. Martin

What is North Carolina’s favorite sport?

For lots of North Carolinians it is stock car racing – the NASCAR variety. Even those of us who are not NASCAR fans take pride in a sport that we think got its start here and has been a home to many of it heroes.

We take pride in the North Carolina moonshiners who honed their stock car driving skills by outrunning the revenuers. It is a mythical fascination like we have for the outlaw pirates on our coastal waters 300 years ago.

We worry when we read this week in the New York Times that television ratings for NASCAR in the important young men demo-graphic (19-34 years old) declined by 29 per-cent last year.

Could the age of NASCAR be over?

Not likely. Not in our life-times.

But there may have to be some changes in our views about the history of stock car racing and our state’s connection to it. We may have to share credit (or blame) for the beginnings of stock car racing.

The challenge to North Caro-lina’s claim to a preeminent role in stock car racing history comes in a new book, “Real NASCAR: White Lightning, Red Clay, and Big Bill France,” by UNC-Asheville his-tory professor Dan Pierce.

Pierce’s entertaining discussion of the “hell of a fellow,” mill vil-lage, fairground red clay race track, and moonshine culture gives some credit to North Carolina for early stock car racing. But, he writes, big-time racing got its start before World War 2 in Daytona Beach and Atlanta where big crowds and big prizes drew the best drivers. In these venues an ambitious young driver and promoter, Bill France, began a career that led to his suc-cessful effort to consolidate and control stock car racing.

Ironically, it was bootlegging that led to a major shift of stock car racing to the Carolinas after the end of World War 2. Led by Atlanta Constitution editor Ralph

McGill, drivers with bootlegging convictions were barred from the city’s Lakewood track. But many of the best

and most popular drivers had been convicted of running moonshine. These popular drivers moved to new racetracks in the Carolinas.

Bill France followed, promot-ing, building, and owning new tracks. Bootlegging had an un-derappreciated role in some of the new tracks. For instance, in North Wilkesboro, France partnered with men connected to bootlegging interests. They developed one of North Carolina’s most important racetracks. The same group de-veloped Occoneechee Speedway in Hillsborough.

Stock cars and bootleggers – the real story

Pierce tells about another un-derappreciated group with ties to bootlegging: mechanics. Without a car that had been modified to outrun the law enforcer’s chase vehicle, even the best driver would be in trouble. The modifications to the pre-war Ford V-8 increased speed significantly. According to former Charlotte Motor Speedway President Humpy Wheeler, the V-8 “became a race car in just a few days with the right hands working on it.”

So, when the moonshine run-ning drivers came to the track to race, their mechanics were key players on their teams.

Pierce’s story of the creation of the state’s only remaining major speedway and the running of the first World 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway is worth the price of the book.

Pierce ends his book with the retirement of Bill France in 1972. Thus, he does not cover the clos-ing of the North Wilkesboro and Rockingham speedways, except his detailed description of how Bill France made NASCAR his fam-ily’s business helps us understand why our historic connections were trumped by money.

Maybe there is some consola-tion. Charlotte got the new NA-SCAR Hall of Fame. Its first in-ductees, other than Bill France and Bill, Jr., are all North Carolinians: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and Junior Johnson.

St. Luke’s purchases bone density machine, warns of osteoporosis

Osteoporosis results in more than 1 million hip, spine, and wrist fractures annually. This disorder affects nearly one-half of all post menopausal women, the largest group at high risk for osteoporosis.

“Osteoporosis is a silent dis-ease until it is complicated by fractures – fractures that can occur following minimal trauma,” warns St. Luke’s Hospital’s Orthopaedic Surgeon Brian Rosenberg, MD. “Osteoporosis can be prevented, and can be diagnosed and treated before any fracture occurs.”

Osteoporosis, which literally means “porous bone,” is a disease in which the density and quality of bone are reduced. As the bones become more porous and fragile, the risk of fracture is greatly in-creased. The loss of bone occurs “silently” and progressively.

“Everyone should know their risks for developing osteoporosis,” encourages Sandra McCormack, MD. “And anyone who is at risk for osteoporosis should have their bone density checked. A bone density test can be performed for patients who may have osteoporo-sis and is also useful to monitor the progression of osteoporosis and the response to treatment.”

St. Luke’s Hospital recently purchased a new bone density machine, the GE Prodigy Ad-vance Full Scan. This machine provides fast scans detecting bone loss quicker and determin-ing response to therapy sooner.

In just 30 seconds, this GE Prodigy Advance Full Scan highly precise densitometer helps to identify osteoporosis risk. It can also aid in determining the effects of osteoporosis treatment. In the past, osteoporosis could only be detected after you broke a bone. A bone density test makes it possible to know your risk of breaking bones before the fact.

Some people should be tested for osteoporosis at an earlier age. Knowing the signs to look for can help you understand when the time is right to have a bone density test. If you are ever un-

sure, you should discuss this with your doctor.

Dr. Rosenberg says the most common fractures associated with osteoporosis occur at the hip, spine and wrist. The incidence of these fractures, particularly at the hip and spine, increases with age in both women and men.

The good news is that osteo-porosis is now a largely treatable condition and, with a combina-tion of lifestyle changes and appropriate medical treatment, many fractures can be avoided.

Using a bone densitometer, physicians can measure patient bone density and follow it over time. If the patient’s bone density is low, or decreases at an abnor-mally fast rate, the patient may be at risk for osteoporosis. Through changes in diet, exercise habits and/or medication, further deterio-ration of bone can be prevented.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends bone density testing if:

• You’re a woman age 65 or older;

• You’re a postmenopausal woman under age 65 with one or more risk factors for osteoporosis;

• You’re a man age 70 or older;• You’re a man between age

50 and 70 with one or more risk factors for osteoporosis;

• You’re older than age 50 and you’ve experienced a broken bone;

• You’re a postmenopausal wom-an and you’ve stopped taking estro-gen therapy or hormone therapy.

Research hasn’t yet deter-mined the optimal interval for repeat bone density tests, or the right age to stop testing. How-ever, two or more years may be needed between tests to reliably measure a change in your bone density. Your doctor can recom-mend the best testing interval for you based on your personal medical history and osteoporosis risk factors.

For more information, or to schedule your bone density test, call St. Luke’s Radiology at 828-894-3525, ext. 3590.

Summer Bible adventures at Tryon Presbyterian Church

Joan Puma prepares a tent at a Bedouin encampment. (photo submitted)

Summer Bible Adventure at Tryon Presbyterian Church is using an approach called “active learn-ing” to apply the Bible’s lessons to everyday life. In active learning, sto-ries come alive through experiences with the five senses such as smelling bread baking, sitting in a type of tent found in the desert, seeing people dressed as figures from biblical times, or acting out a story.

The church’s educational building will be transformed into the Jericho Road from August 2 through 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. Chil-dren (ages five and up, youth and adults are invited). Lesley Bush, director of music and communi-cations, says not to worry about dinner. He is in charge of a menu of freshly prepared meals that will be served in the Jericho Road Cafe (previously the church’s fel-lowship hall) each evening from 6 to 6:30 p.m. followed by the Bible Adventure from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

During the week, the Bible Ad-venture will focus on a different as-pect of the Good Samaritan through workshops that will take place each evening. This repetition gives par-ticipants the opportunity to delve more deeply into the meaning of the story and how it applies to their lives. For example, participants will gather in a Bedouin Encamp-ment where they will meet a Levite and hear his side of the story.

In another workshop, those in-

volved will “eat their way through the Bible” by discovering herbs from biblical times and preparing food with them to see the connec-tion between providing food and God’s mercy. Dramatizing the Good Samaritan with costumes, a script, a cast of characters, and an audience will make the story of the Good Samaritan come alive.

In addition to the Bible Adven-ture for children, youth, and adults, two additional adult classes will be offered: Parables of Jesus and His-torical Heroes. These classes will meet from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

According to Rev. Mary Pot-ter, director of the Summer Bible Adventure, “Kids are really ac-tive and they get bored if they are asked to sit for an hour and a half. This way of learning is not only fun and meaningful for children, but it gets young people and adults involved as well.” All in the community are welcome.

For more information, contact the church office at 828-859-6683. Spaces are limited. Parents must register their children prior to the start of Bible Adventure. Adults can register by calling the church office. Registrations assure that dinner will be available for all. Check out the church website at www.tryonpres.com for more information or to print a regis-tration form for Summer Bible Adventure.

“In God there is no large or small”

Conservation CornerBetsy Burdett

I’m at Camp Glen Arden again this summer, working in the kitchen. Everything is the same as in years past, yet everything is different. The maintenance man who worked here for 64 years, ever since this camp began, died suddenly in a tractor accident the second week that camp was in session. At first there was shock, then tears. Now there’s a silent empty place. Because this is a camp for happy little girls, many of whom did not know Raymond except that he was the maintenance man, we’ve kept the camp activities going as if there was not a tragedy, sort of like it would be if Raymond were still here.

Maybe this “internalizing’ of the tragedy has made us all think a bit more deeply about what it means to lose someone so dear to us all, someone who was not an important person on the big world scene, but someone who was always there, ready to help make life easier for us adults and a lot of silly little girls. It has made me think about what we take for granted, and what brings us comfort in our lives. My cabin is surrounded by hemlocks, many of them dying. I know that soon they will be gone, and this cabin will no longer be in the cool shade. Will there be something else to take their place? Will there be someone to take Raymond’s place? Will we remember that quiet presence, or will we just be a little less com-fortable, looking for a product or escape to replace what has been lost?

At the top of this road there is a 1000+ acre tract of land being clear cut. Trucks loaded with huge logs roll past the kitchen all day long, day after day. That 1000 acres was inherited by a man in Florida who was not satisfied with the quiet comforts

of life, but sought happiness by means of high living with a bit of cocaine to enhance ‘reality’. Unfortunately, he could not fi-nancially maintain that lifestyle and borrowed money against his inheritance.

The result is an ugly clear-cut that will take 50 years to heal and 100 years to be like it was before being cut. After all the hulla-ballu about the steep timbercut near Harmon Field, I want to show you all what real environmental devastation looks like. I think about those trees that stood for so long, providing habitat for thousands of animals, not to mention a great place for campers to walk and ride the horses for campouts. One man’s folly brought devastation to 1000 acres and all that was on it. And that was an important man in the big scene.

It’s the ‘unimportant’ people, and the ‘unimportant’ plants and animals that give us life’s com-fort and security.

Endangered species are im-portant in that they remind us that things get lost forever if we don’t take care of what we’ve got now. It’s honesty, service, kind-ness, responsibility, acceptance, and simple caring that bring us comfort, and happiness.

What would it be like without trees to give us shade? It’s even harder to imagine that than it is to think of camp without Ray-mond.

It’s the simple things that we value the least in the present and miss the most when they are gone.

What do we honor and value most? Our actions, and our lives, should reflect the answer to that question.

James E. Wofford Jr.

James E. Wofford, Jr. “Jim-my”, 57, of 151 Brookwood Creek Drive died July 24, 2010. He was the son of Mary Wy-att Wofford of Landrum and the late James E. Wofford. He was a member of Landrum First Baptist Church and a self employed builder.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by two sons, James E. Wofford III and Matthew B. Wofford; a daughter, Brandy E. Wofford; a brother, Jackie Wof-ford; a sister, Darlene Turner; and three grandchildren, James, Sky-ler and Reese, all of Landrum.

The family will receive friends from 4-6 p.m. Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at Petty Funeral Home. Funeral services will follow at 6 p.m. in the funeral home chapel. A private burial will be held.

The family is at the home.Memorials may be made to

NCDA&CS recommends buying bees from permitted dealers

Bees are essential to food pro-duction by aiding in the pollina-tion of crops, but in recent years, the numbers of these agricultural helpers have declined because of disease and pests. To help ensure a healthy bee population in the state, the N.C. Department of Ag-riculture and Consumer Services recommends beekeepers buy bees only from dealers permitted to sell in the state.

“By purchasing from permit-ted sellers, beekeepers protect our bee and honey industry and avoid buying diseased or Africanized bees or potentially transport-ing other harmful pests,” said Don Hopkins, state apiarist with NCDA&CS. “Permitted sellers, either from North Carolina or

another state, must have a current inspection certifying the health of the bees. In addition, production cannot be located in an area with Africanized bees.”

A list of permitted sellers is maintained by NCDA&CS. To obtain a permit, sellers must sub-mit an application, have a current inspection, sign a compliance agreement and pay a $25 fee.

Beekeepers selling fewer than 10 bee hives in a calendar year or holding a one-time, going out-of-business sale for fewer than 50 bee hives are not required to have a permit. However, anyone may request an apiary inspection by contacting a regional inspector.

Information and applications for the permit to sell bees in North

Carolina are available by contact-ing Don Hopkins, NCDA&CS, 1060 Mail Service Center, Ra-leigh, N.C. 27699, by calling 919-233-8214, or online at www.ncagr.gov/plantindustry/plant/api-ary/sellbees.htm. Information also is available at your local county extension office.

“Although bees are inspected for pests and diseases, no other rat-ings of quality or colony strength are made when a dealer is placed on the list,” Hopkins said. “Inclu-sion of a seller on the list is not an endorsement of one dealer over another.” New beekeepers are encouraged to work with a local beekeeping association and seek referrals from fellow beekeepers.
