Polk eyes Outreach property for new mental health facilityColumbus rezones tract to highway commercialby Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners are reportedly considering a 0.9-acre tract owned by Thermal Belt Out-reach in Columbus as a home for a county mental health facility.

The Town of Columbus ap-proved rezoning the property to highway commercial last week.

Asked why the rezoning was sought, Outreach officials told Columbus council members that Polk County government is interested in the lot to house Family Preservation Ser-vices, one of the county’s mental health providers.

Polk County commissioners have not discussed the purchase yet, but they have said recently that depend-

ing on what Columbus did with regard to the property's zoning, the county could have a place to house mental health in order to get all services out of the aging Jervey Palmer building.

Columbus officials discussed the rezoning at length last Thurs-day. The property was zoned residential, but the Polk Well-ness Center currently rents a former house on the lot, where it offers similar mental health services.

Councilman Michael Gage said he’s not a fan of rezoning and voted against it. He said he wanted Polk County officials to come to a meeting to discuss what their plans are for the prop-erty prior to rezoning.

Gage said he doesn’t have a problem with the use but is worried about what future use it could have with the new high-way commercial zoning if the county ever sold the property.

Diana Winkler spoke on be-half of Outreach and said the use will basically be the same as it is now. Outreach purchased the 0.9-acre lot at 94 White Drive in 2007. Except for that 0.9-acre lot, all of Outreach’s property, totaling 11.56 acres, is zoned highway commercial.

Outreach received permis-sion from the town prior to the 2007 purchase to use the former house for its Outreach opera-tions and the use was deemed compliant.

Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said the prop-erty needs to be rezoned to high-way commercial for its current use under Outreach’s ownership since R-2 does not allow medi-cal facilities.

Winkler said if Polk County purchases the property, the traf-fic will stay the same on the road and the client base will be the same as it is currently, but will be done by appointment only.

Winkler said the only reason Outreach is selling is because the organization is hurting fi-nancially. She said Outreach does not have a contract with the county because the parties were waiting to see whether the property would be rezoned.

Polk County has been dis-cussing where to move its men-tal health facility for some time. One option that has been discussed is for mental health services to move into the new department of social service building currently in the early stages of construction at the recreation complex land in Mill Spring.

The new DSS building should be complete next year.

Commissioners are attempt-ing to get all services out of the Jervey Palmer building in Tryon, which is aging and costly to maintain.

The county has already moved its senior center out of the building after purchasing the former Carolina Classical School off Skyuka Road.

Veterans services moved to the former Carolina Classical building when the senior center moved last year.

The only other service in the Jervey Palmer building is mental health, which is run by Family Preservation Services. Other mental health providers in Polk County include the Polk Well-ness Center, which sees clients in its Hwy. 108 office as well as in the building on Outreach property that the county may be interested in purchasing.

Saluda police officers can now take vehicles homeby Leah Justice

Saluda commissioners de-cided last week to allow police officers to take vehicles home on a trial basis for the next few months.

Police commissioner John-nie Kinard requested the change in policy. He said the city has had a couple of incidents in which vehicles left at the police department were vandalized.

Kinard also said allowing officers to drive vehicles home will also result in quicker re-sponse times, because they will be on duty as soon as they leave their homes and will not have to transfer items from their personal vehicles to the city vehicles once they arrive at work.

Several years ago the city tried allowing officers to drive vehicles home and an officer was fired after he was seen driv-ing a city vehicle at a grocery store on a Sunday with his girl-friend, Kinard said last week.

Kinard said officials have spoken to the officers already and know the vehicles must not be driven for personal use.

Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden suggested that officers fill out a mileage log and make sure that when filling up for gasoline that officers put the mileage in at the gas pump.

“If you're going to do this, it needs to be documented,” mayor Baisden said.

Commissioners agreed to re-view the policy in four months.

Saluda could get $50k from state for ice storm expensesby Leah Justice

The City of Saluda just got word that it could receive funds from the state to reimburse the city for work done during an ice storm earlier this year.

The city declared a state of emergency when a Feb. 5, 2010 ice storm “caused widespread and severe dam-age, including but not limited to downed trees, power lines, causing road blockages and property damage,” according to the resolution the city is-sued when it declared a state of emergency.

Williams said the city made a claim for $72,000 of em-ployee, equipment costs and other costs associated with the clean-up from the ice storm. The state normally makes reim-bursements of up to 75 percent of disaster costs when areas declare a disaster.

City officials hadn’t heard from the state regarding any reimbursements for months since the claim was filed. They sent letters to Gov. Beverly Perdue and state representatives regarding the claim.

City administrator Erny Wil-liams told the Saluda Board of Commissioners last week that

Saluda heard from the state, which sent a representative to investigate the city's claim.

Williams said he believes if the city hadn’t sent letters, Sa-luda might have fallen through the cracks.

The ice storm hit areas of Polk County, but particularly the higher elevations of Saluda where power was out for sev-eral days. Last winter was one of the worst winters the area has seen in years.

Painting of Saluda by Jim Carson. (photo submitted)

Jim Carson will conduct two “plein air” (outdoor) oil and acrylic workshops, titled “Color / Getting It Right” in Saluda on Thursday through Saturday, Oc-tober 7 through 9, and October 28 through 30.

Appropriate to the colors of the western N.C. fall season, these workshops will concentrate on color harmony, including instruction on mixing the right color for the right spot, and get-ting the correct, but often subtle, color balance. The three-day workshop will be held at different outdoor locations each day and feature demonstrations by the art-ist and critiques of the student’s

work at the end of each day.The workshop is open to all

levels, from beginners to ad-vanced. The workshop will also focus on simplifying large shapes and applying paint quickly and confidently.

The cost of the workshop in-cludes a “get acquainted” gather-ing at Carson’s studio on Wednes-day nights, October 6 and 27. Also included is a catered lunch brought to the painting site each day by the Saluda Grade Café.

Inman to discuss ‘Welcome to Mitford’ at Lanier Library Sept. 23

On Thursday, September 23, author and playwright Robert Inman will discuss his adapta-tion of the play “Welcome to Mitford” at 2 p.m. at the Lanier Library.

Following the publication of his book “Coming Home” in 2000, Robert Inman’s first play, “Crossroads,” was received to wide acclaim in 2003 and since then he has written “The Drama Club,” “A High Country Christmas” and “Welcome to Mitford,” a dramatic adapta-tion of the Mitford novels by Jan Karon. In conjunction with the Tryon Little Theater, Inman will discuss his play at 2 p.m. at the Lanier Library, prior to the first performance of the play at the TLT Theater Workshop the same evening.

Inman began his career as a journalist as a “printer’s devil” at his hometown newspaper in Elba, Alabama. After earning

B.A and M.F.A. degrees at the University of Alabama he moved to Charlotte to become a TV journalist for WBTV. Now enjoying a second career as an author and playwright, Inman and his wife divide their time between Charlotte and Boone.

The Book Shelf will be on hand to help with the book signings.

Twice-told Tales of the Dark Corner

by Dean Campbell

‘Eastbound Train’ ballad second favorite in genre

Among ballads that told sto-ries with a train venue, “An Eastbound Train” was the second favorite of Dark Corner’s moun-tain people. It tells of a young girl’s trip to visit her father in prison.

While recalling the lyrics recently, I was reminded of a modern-day parallel. So many children in this country today have parents in prison serving sentences of varying lengths. With al l our support groups, both governmental and private, in so many areas, few are groups or ministries that assist the children of prisoners.

This ballad, like most, was performed a cappella, allowing the voice and personality of each singer to add unique nuances to the story with each retelling.

Here are the lyrics:An Eastbound TrainAn eastbound train was

crowded,One cold December day;The conductor shouted, “Tick-

ets,”In his old-time fashioned

way.A little girl in sadness,Her hair was bright as gold;She said, “I have no ticket,”And then, her story told.

“My father, he’s in prison,He’s lost his sight, they say;I’m going for his pardon,This cold December day.

“My mother’s daily sewingTo try to earn our bread;While poor, old Dad’s in

prison,He’s blind and almost dead..“My brother and my sisterWould both be very gladIf I could only bring backOur poor, dear old blind

Dad.”The conductor did not an-

swer,Nor could

he make reply;But taking a

rough hand and wiping

A tear down from his eye,

He said, “God bless you, little one,

Just sit right where you are;You’ll never need a ticketWhile I am on this car.”

****Our national Barton His-

torical Society will be holding its annual meeting at the Hyatt in Greenville, Oct. 1-3. We will be taking an all-day tour on Friday, Oct. 1, to cover much of the Dark Corner and old home sites of Tyger River area Barton ances-tors. An historical marker will be placed at the David Barton (1785-1838) home site as part of the tour.

A new, CCB Coalition of vol-unteers, to assist the Greenville County Recreation District in maintenance of grounds at the all-new Campbell’s Covered Bridge Historic Park on Pleasant Hill Road, has been formed. A work day to reseed areas of fescue grass is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 2, from 9 a.m. to noon. All volunteers are welcome. Call me at 864-468-4949 if you can help then, or at some future time.

Polk Wellness Coalition recognizes local worksites that encourage healthTwo-thirds of North Caro-

lina’s preventable deaths are related to tobacco, nutrition, and physical activity. In North Carolina, 95.9 percent of adults have at least one of these risky behaviors, while 39.1 percent have all three.

Tobacco use, poor nutrition, physical inactivity contribute to heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, diabetes, lung disease, osteoporosis, low birth weight, neural tube defects, SIDS, asth-ma, and joint and back problems. These behaviors lead to nearly 200,000 hospitalizations and 35,000 deaths in North Carolina per year.

It makes good business sense for employers to invest in pre-ventive health and wellness for their employees. Obesity, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and tobacco-related illness costs

N.C. employers an average of $5,000 per employee per year – these issues lead to chronic disease resulting in absenteeism and escalating health care costs for employers. Most preventable diseases result from physical inactivity, poor nutrition (35 percent) or tobacco (37 percent) use.

Members of the Polk County Wellness Coalition are working together for a healthy Polk County and want to recognize what some of their health coalition members are doing to make employees’ work-day experience healthier. Polk County offers the opportunity for employees to join a health and fitness center with discount-ed prices to the employee.

Wellness Coalition member Josh King, planner with Isother-mal Regional Planning Commis-sion, says that their worksite has organized a wellness committee. They sell fruit juices and water

for $.40 which is less than the soda machine ($.75) . Low fat/low calo-rie snacks are available for less than vend-ing machine options. They have removed most of the high calorie snacks from

their vending machine. They also formed an agree-

ment to have fresh fruits and vegetables available at all IPDC events. They have a walk leave

policy – if you walk one mile a day during your lunch you get 15 minutes of “walk leave.” They have also completed two “biggest loser’ style weight loss groups.

Western Carolina Commu-nity Action is offering special programming to all its employ-ees which includes enhances services for those who smoke, have diabetes, and high cho-lesterol.

The Polk County Wellness Coalition would like to hear what your employer is doing to make your work environment a healthier place. Or if you are interested in learning more about changes you can make for a healthier worksite, call Mary Smith, health educator at 828-925-0140 or email her at [email protected].

Letter to the Editor

Ten ideas for improving Polk County economicsTo the Editor:

The following issues were discussed over lunch with Kipp McIntyre who at the time was di-rector of economic development for Polk County.

Their order is not of any significance other than, in my opinion, they might be well ad-dressed. Please remember the meeting took place well over a year ago. Plus, the landscape, or if you prefer, the political land-scape, was different:

1) county wide police force;2) county wide water author-

ity;3) acreage for a government/

county campus. Locate govern-ment buildings on one site. Build-ing as required;

4) all government properties returned to the Town of Co-lumbus. Their disposition, their responsibility. It would enhance the economic climate in Colum-bus when recycled to private enterprise;

5) fulltime county attorney could act in multiple roles as human resource manager, and assistant county manager;

6) Make the historical county courthouse a travel destination. Use the courthouse as a play-house featuring enactment of trials of yesteryear;

7) restrictive county gov-ernment activities that can be improved upon resulting in huge savings;

8) strengthen building codes that will effectively address some of the needs for ordinances (buildable lots etc.). Easier to enforce;

9) replace St. Luke’s Hospital with a system of urgent care locations similar to the care centers with available that are successful.

10) Promote policies of growth instead of no growth position.

“I would love to play my best golf this year, and to show my family, friends, teammates, and coach what I can do on the golf course. I feel as if I have not played up to my potential yet.”

-- Sean mcKaig

14 TRYON DAILY BULLETIN / THE WORLD’S SMALLEST DAILY NEWSPAPER WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2010

Columbus’ Sean mcKaig is entering his senior year at montreat College with high expectations (photo by staff photographer)

Staff reports

at the age of 12, sean McKaig decided that he wanted to play golf. that decision has brought McKaig to where he is today, a senior at Montreat College in his final season as a collegiate golfer.

However, he did not make it this far on his own.

“I owe a lot to my mom and dad” said McKaig. “My parents allowed me to play a lot of golf during my younger years, and I fell in love with the game.”

golf has been a tradition in the McKaig family for generations. Lloyd McKaig started the family tradition in the sport many years ago as he grew up caddying at tryon Country Club. Lloyd be-came the club champion at tryon Country Club in 1969. Lloyd and his brother, Franklin, played golf from their childhood all the way through their senior years.

“My grandfather Lloyd and my uncle Franklin definitely set the standard by which all Mc-Kaigs play golf,” sean said. “I always enjoy hearing the stories of the good golf that they played back then.”

sean never had the pleasure of playing with his grandfather because the elder McKaig’s passed away in 1993, but a lot of Lloyd’s characteristics can be seen in sean.

“people say that I look like my granddad; I just hope I am making him proud by what I am doing,” said McKaig.

sean’s father, rodney Mc-Kaig, is still a good golfer today. rodney has held the back-nine

McKaig carrying on family tradition

course record with a 6-under-par 30 at tryon Country Club. rodney is a former assistant professional at tryon Country Club, and he played a huge role in making sean into the golfer he is today.

“I play golf in honor of my dad because he put a lot of time, money and effort into making me the golfer that I am,” said Mc-Kaig. “I have not always made him proud, but I know that he has always loved watching me play over the years.”

sean decided to play golf after he saw tiger Woods play golf on tV.

“I just knew that I wanted to

play golf like that one day, and I truly believe I became a golfer that day,” he said.

McKaig then started playing at tryon Country Club daily. He had a natural talent for the game, but he did not have the tempera-ment for it.

“I still struggle with my tem-per today on the course, but it has improved a lot since my younger days,” McKaig said. “I am not going to say that I don't get mad out there because I really do get frustrated, but I have learned to focus on the next shot, not the one that I just hit.”

McKaig became quite a good golfer while in high school, win-

ning a state championship his senior year at raleigh’s grace Christian school.

He had big dreams of going to a top Division I college, but without scholarship offers from major college programs, McKaig took his talents to Montreat Col-lege, a small NaIa school near Black Mountain, N.C.

Coach David pennell was pleased to add McKaig to the roster. McKaig has been a solid performer over the years for pen-nell. McKaig has received the Cavalier golf award twice and was the first golfer in Montreat College history to be named player of the Week for the ap-palachian athletic Conference.

the Cavaliers are in the midst of their fall season, having just completed the aaC fall tourna-ment in elizabethton, tenn., with a spring season to follow.

McKaig, who is the lone senior on a roster composed pri-marily of freshmen, is hoping to make his senior year at Montreat a memorable one.

“I would love to play my best golf this year and to show my family, friends, teammates, and coach what I can do on the golf course,” he said. “I feel as if I have not played up to my potential yet.”

Sean McKaig is not the first McKaig to ever play the game of golf, but he’s writing his own chapter in the McKaig golf story.

Paul Taylor meets the Andrews Sisters at TFAC October 3

On Sunday night, October 3, Paul Taylor’s smaller troupe, Taylor 2, will perform three of his best and most beloved works at Tryon Fine Arts Center.

Hailed in the New York Times as “something of a miracle” because they are able to convey so much with so few dancers, this six-mem-ber company recently joined with Taylor’s larger one on the plaza at Lincoln Center to celebrate Taylor’s 80th birthday.

Among the dances that evening was “Company B,” which Taylor 2 will perform in Tryon to music of the Andrews Sisters. “Company B” had its first performance in 1991. It is a Taylor classic that explores the horror of war as the Andrews Sisters sing cheery songs such as “Pennsyl-vania Polka” and “Tico-Tico.” At the Lincoln Center performance, dancer Madelyn Ho was described as “delicate and soulful in ‘I Can Dream, Can’t I?’”

Another well-known Taylor dance being presented October 3 is “Aureole” which was choreographed to the music of Georg Friedrich Handel and first performed in 1962. It contains a difficult solo that Taylor created for himself and is considered a milestone in modern dance; it fused

the classical elements of dancers in white unitards and dresses with movements that expressed a whole new dimension of time and space in dance in the 1960s.

They will also perform “Runes” at Tryon Fine Arts Center, a depic-tion of a secret rite and considered one of his most spellbinding dances. It was created in 1975 to the music of Gerald Busby – a publisher, cook, and philosopher as well as a com-poser best known for his film score of Robert Altman’s “3 Women.” Busby has lived for years in New York’s storied Chelsea Hotel – “a rest stop for rare individuals” – where he continues to write music as quirky and bohemian as his sur-roundings.

The concert is presented by Rosenberg Bone & Joint and the North Carolina Arts Council. Tickets are available by calling or visiting the box office at 828-859-8322 Tuesday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. www.tryonarts.org.

Tryon Fine Arts Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the magic and power of the arts to people of all ages through a variety of experiences.

“Ireland: the Stories of Her History” will cover the ancient, unique, complex and mystical history of Ireland dating back over ten thousand years through to the present. The series of six lectures will explore each of the historical periods along with the most prominent figures in Irish history. There will be a number of relevant films viewed and an extensive library addressing Irish interests will be made available to students.

“Irish Mythology, Folktales, Literature and Authors” will cover the extremely rich and his-torically significant Irish literary tradition.

TDDA annual meeting Sept. 27The Tryon Downtown Develop-

ment Association will hold its an-nual member meeting on Monday, September 27 at the historic Tryon Country Club. The public is invited and encouraged to attend. Social time with hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar starts at 6:30 p.m. Ample parking is available.

The annual meeting begins at 7 p.m. The guest speaker will be Sherry Adams from the N.C. Dept. of Com-merce’s Main Street Program, who was the primary economic develop-ment support person from N.C. Main Street after Tryon won its Small Town Main Street designation in 2007.

Since the town received its des-ignation in 2007, much progress has been made in Tryon in the revital-ization arena. In spite of depressed national and local economies, the com-munity has been fortunate to realize increased capital investment in private business, approved appearance of the hardscape and landscape in the central and general business districts and the development of a strong TDDA board of directors.

Join the TDDA on Monday for Sherry Adams’ presentation, brief addresses by TDDA president Crys Armbrust and mayor Alan Peoples and an opportunity to meet TDDA’s new slate of board members and officers.

Remember Whenby Garland Goodwin

by garland o. goodwin

This column first appeared on October 6, 1997. It is included in A Boy in the Amen Corner, a book of the first hundred or so of these col-umns, available at local bookstores or from the author.

In a conversation with John Vin-ing and Andy Haynes after a meet-ing of the Courthouse Restoration Committee, Andy mentioned that he had a copy of a treatise writ-ten about kudzu by the man who introduced the ubiquitous vine to our county early in this [20th] century. J. R. Sams (note those initials!) was titled County Ag-ricultural Agent at Large and lived in Columbus.

Judge J. J. Gentry of Spartan-burg, who had a farm on Bird Moun-tain, solicited articles from Sams and testimonials from area farmers which the Judge then prevailed upon the Spartanburg Herald to publish in pamphlet form. “Kudzu fine for rabbits,” says J. Sprole Lyons of Landrum. One Geo. A. Branscom of Melvin Hill vouches for every word written by Sams. The Judge even adds an analysis by Henry’s book of feed and feeding showing that kudzu has more of everything animals need than the former best plant, alfalfa.

Sams leads off by declaring that kudzu is the most valuable legume given by God to man, and goes on at length to explain its value and cultivation. It is a bean brought over from Japan in mid-eighteenth century as an ornamental porch vine to produce shade. It was not until the likes of Sams began to promote it to farmers that imports began in ear-

nest and the plant began its gradual takeover of the landscape.

Among sixteen virtues listed by Sams, we find that kudzu grows well in acid clay soil; needs no care or encouragement after the first year; once planted it stays planted; and it is the easiest of all plants to get rid of when desirable [italics supplied by G.]

My grandfather, T. A. Rippy, took the advice of his County Agent to heart in all matters. Papa Rippy terraced his hills and planted les-

pedeza in pas-tures and kudzu in the gullies. He gave Mama Rippy some kudzu to plant at the west end of the porch to

shade the swing. Rippy Hill in the thirties was being run by the book, by golly, and the book promised prosperity.

Mama Rippy was pleased by the “porch vine’s” performance: it dutifully died back in the fall, and reappeared in full dark green vigor in late spring in time to provide thick shade against the afternoon sun for the swing. It even offered some little flowers to add to its attractiveness.

Their house burned to the ground and my father died in the late thirties. They moved into the ten-ant house in the hollow and later encouraged my mother to build a house for us on the foundation of their former house. The shade vine was lost, but the kudzu set to control the big gully back of the house was now well established down there.

When Mama Rippy noticed that the vines were beginning to climb the trees, she would make regular pilgrimages to cut off the vines and

the most valuable legumepull them down. I soon began to dread coming home from school because she would collar me and drag me to the trenches to help her do battle with the kudzu.

At first, we tried to dig it up. For-get that! The vine sends down roots about every foot, and there is a dense network of roots underground. We dug and pulled great piles of the stuff, but a month later you could not tell that we had done anything to it. I was eleven or twelve years old at the time, and you can believe that I had no enthusiasm whatever for that exercise in futility.

We turned the cow onto it but she would not eat any significant amount of it, only the tender new growth. As soon as we left her she would climb the hill up to the yard and eat grass. Jean was pretty picky about her eating-she would rear up on her hind legs to pluck ripe apples from the trees, never eating any that had fallen to the ground.

Finally we just turned the kudzu back on itself at the edge of the yard and clipped it off where it started up the trees. It was an almost daily ritual, but necessary to preserve an oasis of grass around the house and to allow the trees to be trees.

John Vining recently asked for public input for a cooperative program to eradicate kudzu from our county. Only two or three people showed any interest. I keep a watchful eye for any sprouts on my city lot, since there is plenty of it only 200 feet away. Hearing of my interest in kudzu, Bob Stuedell brought for my birthday a potted kudzu plant which he had dug up at his home on Rippy Hill. My wife put it at the west end of our deck, even watered it for a while. I have utterly neglected it.

Dawn McIntyre Flory

Dawn McIntyre Flory, 57, died peacefully at her home in Bridgewater, Va., on September 17. She was the wife of Phillip Flory and the daughter of Virgie McIntyre and the late Bryson McIntyre of the Green Creek

Obituaries Community of Polk County. She attended Polk Central High School and Bridgewater College and was a public school teacher for 30 years – the last 15 of them with cancer in her body. She never gave up and won Teacher of the Year in her school in 2008. She retired May 2010.

In addition to her husband and mother, she is survived by a sister, Teresa McIntyre Mack of

New Bern, N.C., two daughters, Heather Flory Driver and Court-ney Flory of Bridgewater, a son, Seth, of the U.S. Air Force, and one grandchild, Bryce Driver.

Memorial services will be conducted at the Bridgewater Church of the Brethren, where she was a member and where she will be missed for her outgo-ing personality and as a teller of children’s stories.

Why a ‘split board’ is a better boardTo the Editor:

Polk County government is a hotbed of political activity. We have a five-member board of commissioners which, in recent years, has been controlled by an all-Republican board, a split (3-2) Republican/Democrat board, and an all-Democrat board. Of the three most recent board con-figurations, the split board has been, by far, the most productive. In fact, our county manager has said on multiple occasions that he doesn’t think he’ll ever work for a more productive board than the 2007-2008 board of com-missioners, consisting of then-Democrats Tommy Melton and

Letter to the Editor Warren Watson, and Republicans, Harry Denton, Ted Owens and Tom Pack.

I believe that the reason our 2007-2008 board was so produc-tive was that no one party had a clear majority. At the time, the three Republicans did not work together consistently, which meant that in order to get any-thing accomplished, we all had to compromise. And we did! Usu-ally, a good compromise results in a win-win situation. Once we started learning to work together, the partisanship began to fall by the wayside.

Our current 2009-2010 board began as the all-Democrat board. Many of the same types of prob-lems that prohibited the all-Republican board from being productive were hampering us as well. Commissioner Melton, and later, I left the Democratic party,

and unfortunately, the poor com-munication among board mem-bers deteriorated even further.

When I decided to declare my political independence, by changing to “Unaffiliated” sta-tus, I felt a sense of relief, as if a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. Although, I appreci-ate all that my former Democrat associates had done to help with my first election campaign, I felt that the party leadership was more interested in what was best for the party than what was best for the county. And my only course of action was to cut those ties.

What I learned in the process of changing affiliation and in the decision to run as an unaffiliated candidate, was that there are two sets of rules for politicians in North Carolina, and in many other states… one for members

of the two major parties (Demo-crats and Republicans), and one for everyone else. It begins with the requirement for gathering signatures on a petition in order to qualify to be placed on the ballot, and it continues all the way to the state house where the two major parties that make the rules, have no incentive to change those rules. Think about it; under the current two-party political system, one or the other party will always be in control. Those are the best possible odds. Why would either party open the door to a third or fourth or multiple other political parties and make the rules the same for all candidates, when the two major parties have a monopoly on political control of our state government? It continues at the federal level as well.

– Warren Watson

Letter to the Editor

Polk County health planTo the Editor:

The controversy associated with the DSS building approval process, location and function is reminiscent of the many prob-lems encountered by the Obama Health Plan. The details of the Obama Plan to this day are still a mystery to many citizens. Who could believe that there’s a provision in that plan to tax any home or land owner 4 percent of the sale price, but that’s in there. Makes me wonder what we don’t know about the Polk County Health Plan.

One of the most similar items

of note between what’s happen-ing locally and what happened nationally is the somewhat covert manner in which the approval was implemented. I believe that when the approval is made by an overwhelming majority behind closed doors, that type of process leads to questions on whether all of the actions are really in the best interest of the community.

As the TDB has reported there is a potential huge prob-lem with having this one DSS building serve all of the health needs in one location. I don’t know if that was an oversight by the ruling commissioners, something by design, or a prob-lem they were trying to sweep under the rug in an effort to ramrod the approval through.

There’s also a real question of integrity involved when it appears that two “blue dog” commissioners were left out of the loop while the “three musketeers” ruling majority went about their business of expediting the approval. It’s still not clear to me if Family Pres-ervation Services or the Polk Wellness Center were consulted or had made their position know prior to the approval. And then there’s the question about han-dling sex offender counseling. It seems to me that planning to have a separate facility for sex offenders should have been ad-dressed prior to the approval of the DSS building.

If I haven’t got all the facts exactly right I’m sorry, but in my opinion, the way in which

this situation was handled was quite amateurish and quite con-fusing, to say the least. What’s just as disturbing is the fact is you have all five members of the same political party in charge of our future heath support system and they can’t even get along enough to jointly address the issues in an openly and profes-sional manner. Maybe it’s time for some of those Tea Party folks to do some house cleaning in the next two elections. Polk County deserves better. We’ve been already shafted by the Obama Heath Plan, we don’t need to get shafted again by the Polk County Health Plan. I would ask all five of the current commis-sioners to take a step back and do the right thing for the folks.

Polk County 4-H commits to Hungry to Helpfrom left: Kaytee mcCullough, larry Dyer, Nick Sheffron, gabrielle Clark, alina Kolberg. (photo submitted)

4-H’ers attending State 4-H Congress in Raleigh committed to an ambitious goal of collecting one million pounds of food for North Carolina’s food banks as part of a campaign called Hungry to Help.

Conducted in partnership with

the Food Banks of North Caro-lina, the campaign is designed to promote awareness of hunger in North Carolina and to help stop it. To get started, 350 4-H’ers gathered at Dorton Arena at the State Fairgrounds and repack-

aged 37,900 pounds of pasta from massive containers into smaller, family-sized portions.

Polk County 4-H will be holding a food drive at the fall BBQ Supper to help with this statewide effort.

Ikebana exhibition, demo at N.C. Arboretum October 9 and 10

Ikebana International of Asheville will host a special exhibit as a part of the Carolina Bonsai Expo to take place at The North Carolina Arboretum on Saturday and Sunday, October 9 and 10 in the upstairs library in the education center. Susan Cano, teacher in the Sogetsu School and former chapter president of Ike-bana International in Bangkok, Mexico City and Miami will demonstrate on Saturday at 11 a.m. in the education building in the first floor classroom.

The theme of the exhibit and demonstration is “From Farm to Form: Ikebana as Contemporary Art.” Using containers collected worldwide, Cano’s designs will be both contemporary and free-style. The Sogetsu School, which

will be the basis of Cano’s dem-onstration, offers arrangements which are sculptural in form and intent while promoting free style and abstract design.

This partnership of Bonsai and Ikebana gives visitors an un-usual opportunity to explore two of Japan’s most creative forms of artistic expression. Ikebana International in Asheville has almost 50 members, students and teachers in WNC. For the exhibit in the upstairs library, they will use plant materials found on farms and in local gardens to emphasize form, color, texture and modern design. All four design forms currently being taught in WNC will be exhibited: Ikenobo, Ohara, Sogetsu, and Ichiyo.

In addition to the Carolina

Bonsai annual expo on the ground floor of the education center, the Arboretum’s Bonsai Exhibition Garden offers a world-class display that innovatively estab-lishes bonsai in the context of the Southern Appalachians.

The exhibitions are free with the parking fee at the Arboretum. For Arboretum members, there is no parking charge. The Ikebana exhibit and demonstration are free. Open Saturday, October 9 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 10 from 12 to 4 p.m.

For info about Ikebana classes and exhibition info, contact Patti Quinn Hill at [email protected] or 828-645-6633 or go to www.ikebanaasheville.org.
