Tryon applies for program designed to fix problems blocking downtown successby Leah Justice

Tryon may get some help soon in identifying and eliminating regulations that might be inhibit-ing healthy downtown business.

The town agreed last week to apply to participate in a N.C. De-partment of Commerce program through the Office of Urban De-velopment and the Community

Planning Program.Tryon Town Manager Justin

Hembree explained that the pro-gram is seeking up to three Main Street communities to participate. Tryon has been a member of the Main Street program for the past couple of years, so the town qualifies for the assistance.

“The N.C. Main Street and

the Community Planning Pro-gram have developed a new toolkit to help eliminate zoning rules that are blocking down-town success and will be using three communities as test areas for the toolkit,” Hembree said. “The selected communities will

Wednesday, Sept. 22 Bulletin should have said the office owned by Thermal Belt Out-reach that was just rezoned is being rented by the Polk Wellness Coalition, not the Polk Wellness Center. The Polk Wellness Coalition is a group of community leaders, health professionals and resi-dents who work to plan and implement strategies address-ing health needs in the com-munity. The Polk Wellness Center provides services for residents with mental health and substance abuse issues as well as other counseling services and is located off Hwy. 108 in Columbus.

LiveStrong challenge weekend events.

Komnick's first challenge, however, is to find the $5,000 that all riders are required to raise in or-der to participate. As of last week, she had raised about $1,900, so she still needs about $3,100.

Komnick is a fitness instructor and personal trainer at The Cliffs at Glassy in Upstate South Carolina. A student majoring in environmen-tal science and natural resources, she is also an equestrian who used to work for Jeanne Smith at Clear View Farm in Landrum.

The event is organized by the Palmetto Peloton Project in Upstate South Carolina, a nonprofit corpo-ration that exists to promote the ad-vancement of cancer research and advocacy efforts locally, regionally and nationally through fundraising fitness events.

In 2008, the First Annual Challenge to Conquer Cancer relay ride to Austin included 23 cyclists and 31 support crew members. Last year, the sponsor, Palmetto Peloton Project raised more than $200,000 between the Challenge to Conquer Cancer and another event called the Stars and Stripes.

receive customized solutions for “broken zoning” that may hinder downtown development. This fits very well with several goals of the town’s strategic plan.”

Hembree said if the town is ac-cepted into the program, an issue with the town’s sign ordinance could be addressed. Some town

officials have mentioned that they feel businesses downtown are not helped by the town’s sign ordinance, especially restrictions that prohibit businesses located on side streets to be seen from Main Street.

Hembree said the only cost to the town if Tryon is accepted into the program would be paying mileage for planners to travel to Tryon from Raleigh.

County, towns to meet on water issues tomorrowMeeting at Columbus town hall starts at 7 p.m.by Leah Justice

Columbus, Saluda and Tryon town officials and Polk County officials will hold their third joint meeting tomorrow. The group will continue discussions on the possibility of forming a joint water authority.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Columbus Town Hall.

Last month’s joint meeting included a presentation given by the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority about the process of creating such a joint water authority. Tuckaseigee representatives said they had faced similar challenges when they formed their joint water and sewer authority in Jackson County in 1992 but that the pro-

cess was well worth the effort.The county and towns last

month agreed to prepare de-tailed reports on each of their utility systems, including debts, assets, operating personnel, current rates, gallons per day of water and sewer and any other information pertinent to a possible joint water author-ity. The purpose of tomorrow’s meeting will be to discuss those reports.

Polk and its towns have tried meeting jointly several years ago but could not come to a consensus on how to form the authority.

The current elected and ap-pointed officials of the county and towns decided last spring to try meeting again on common issues, and the first meeting was held this past June. Initial discussions quickly turned to joining efforts on water again.

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!Amanda Morfino on her new horse Nia, with Renée and Nick Morfino. (photo submitted)

Budget cuts at the state level continue to adversely effect Polk County Schools.

When the iSchool at UNC Greensboro got the funding axe this past summer, Polk County Schools administrators were left scrambling in an attempt to fill the void for their virtual college program, resulting in an impromptu partnership with Isothermal Community College in Spindale and its Polk County campus.

The virtual college program allows high school students to take college-level courses online. Through the program, students can receive up to two years of college credit free of charge before they graduate from high school.

The new partnership with ICC and its Polk County cam-pus met approval from the Polk County Schools Board of Edu-cation at its last meeting. Board members approved a “mem-orandum of understanding” that would allow Polk County Schools and ICC administra-tors to hash out an agreement to continue the virtual college with classes offered through ICC. That agreement must receive final approval from the local school board, the ICC Board of Trustees, the state board of edu-cation, the state board of com-munity colleges and the state board of higher education.

“There’s some bureaucracy to go through but when we get approval, it’ll be a matter of us sitting down with Isothermal and seeing what courses our students in the virtual early college program can be taking advantage of,” said Polk County Schools Superintendent Bill Miller.

The state cut funding of the iSchool at UNC Greensboro this past summer, leaving virtual early college students at PCHS and staff members scrambling to fill their schedules.

“It really put our students

and the staff at the high school in a tough spot,” said Miller. “You take a program that’s years in the making and, boom, it’s gone.

“It hurt us because we’d ad-vised these students and told their parents that this would be avail-able for them and now they’re wondering what to do.”

PCHS stu-dents were able to choose from 22 different course offer-ings through the iSchool, which Miller said is attempting to restart with a much smaller budget and by offering a few core courses such as biology, math and physical sciences for the

Polk Schools seeks deal with ICC for virtual early collegespring semester.

If all goes according to plan, the new partnership with ICC will also be up and running by the spring semester.

“It’d taken us years to get all that in place with the iSchool,” Miller said. “Now, we’re look-

ing at putting s o m e t h i n g s i m i l a r t o -gether in just a few months with ICC.

“We want to have it go-ing by the sec-ond semester, and, hopefully, by next year it

will be even better.”ICC and Polk County

Schools already have a work-ing relationship, which Miller believes will help make the

working agreement for the early virtual college go more smooth-ly. ICC’s college English course is taught on the PCHS campus and Polk County Schools fac-ulty members are teaching web-design courses at ICC.

PCHS students can also take vocational-related courses at ICC, including welding, cosme-tology and criminal justice.

Miller said he hopes the new agreement to offer the district’s virtual early college program through ICC will be beneficial for the school and its Polk County campus.

“I hope it’s going to be a bene-fit for them,” Miller said. “We’ve got a lot of good students in the virtual early college and with the right courses and the right setup I’d like to hope it that it would be good for them. I hope it’s not just a one-way street for us.”

“[State cuts of the iSchool at UNC Greensboro] really put our students and the staff at the high school in a tough spot .”

Letter to the Editor

Common senseTo the Editor:

“The Forgotten Man - A New History of the Great Depression” by Amity Shlaes (2008) is a well-written book about what led up to that dark period in our history, what at-tempts were made to shorten it and how it affected everyone! While I remember the Depres-sion years vividly, the book brought back some things that I had forgotten and also provided some behind-the-scenes insights that were new to me. The book is definitely a must-read.

Reading along, one sentence leapt off the page: “American common sense was failing.” Yet common sense had been credited earlier for the then-un-precedented prosperous period of the 20s, along with American ingenuity and energy. Then, when the economy collapsed, no one knew what to do. Oh, they thought they did, but noth-ing worked.

Hoover had a well-deserved reputation as an engineer; he contributed a great deal to our country for which he would not receive much credit. He firmly believed that he could “engineer” a recovery. But then he ignored the advice and counsel of competent advisors and introduced a “protective” tariff that seriously worsened the problem that he intended to solve.

On the other hand, Roosevelt sought advice and counsel from academicians: Theorists who had little real-world experience and seemed to ignore the reality that people mattered. I hadn’t remembered that Roosevelt’s initial “experiments” were actually carry-overs of Hoover policy. Roosevelt was infinitely more adventuresome and dar-ing in his efforts, but many of his “recovery” programs proved to be not only ineffec-tive, but unconstitutional.

One notable good that came out of the New Deal was the

electrification of the South (and other rural areas) along with energy development and resource (water) conservation, a program that actually start-ed with Hoover (the Hoover Dam). Even here, however, the Roosevelt Administration created quite a stir involv-ing the government competi-tion (sometimes unfairly) with electric utilities in the private sector.

It also struck me that Hoover (more than Roosevelt) intro-duced ideas that he sincerely believed would work with little concern over political conse-quences, and that seriously tarnished his place in history. And Roosevelt earned the dubi-ous distinction of being the first president to lay responsibility for the nation’s troubles on a predecessor, and the “wealthy,” an unfair, unhealthy and coun-terproductive concept that is, regrettably, common practice today by the current adminis-tration.

What disturbs me deeply is that the current administra-tion doesn’t have a clue and hasn’t sought the advice and counsel of anybody who expe-rienced the Great Depression first-hand, a classic example of “amateur night,” in which the lead player has virtually no meaningful experience in anything except being a gifted speaker.

Earlier, I used the term, “common sense.” Has it really failed? I don’t believe so. To me that term suggests acting more intuitively, recognizing the conspicuous differences between right and wrong, and that people do matter. I ques-tion whether common sense can function effectively in the envi-ronment of greed and arrogance that has dominated politics and business for too long.

How can we restore com-mon sense? Simply by electing honest candidates who have clearly exhibited that they have it; by speaking out responsibly as “citizens,” the people who matter.

Troxler encourages farmers to have corn tested for aflatoxin

Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler is encouraging farmers to have their corn tested for aflatoxin to prevent contamination of feeds and food.

Aflatoxin is a byproduct of the mold Aspergillus flavus, and can be harmful to both humans and livestock. “It’s worth a farmer’s time and effort to have their corn tested,” Troxler said.

Some farmers may need to have corn samples tested for crop insur-ance purposes. These samples must be submitted by an insurance ad-juster to a grain marketing location certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The tests cost $22.20. Corn samples may also be graded at these locations.

Insurance adjusters should send a 5-pound sample of shelled corn by mail, UPS or FedEx to one of the following USDA-certified grain marketing locations:

Cargill Soybean Plant; Attn: Ben Honeycutt; 1400 S. Blount St.; Raleigh, N.C. 27601; (919) 733-4491;

Grain Grading Office; Attn: Judy Grimes; 407-G Griffin St.; Elizabeth City, N.C. 27909; (252) 337-9782

Aflatoxin tests for feeding pur-poses are free and will be conducted at the N.C. Department of Agri-culture and Consumer Services’ Constable Laboratory, 4000 Reedy Creek Road in Raleigh. This labora-tory is not on the Risk Management Agency’s approved testing facil-ity list; therefore, results from this location will not be accepted for insurance claims.

Farmers may drop off 5-pound samples of shelled corn at the lab or at one of the following agricultural research stations:

• Border Belt Tobacco Research Station, 86 Border Belt Drive, Whiteville, (910) 648-4703; Lloyd Ransom, interim super-intendent.

• Peanut Belt Tobacco Research Sta-tion, 112 Research Station Lane, Lewiston-Woodville, (252) 348-2213; Tommy Corbett, superintendent; station contact is Margaret Pierce.

• Tidewater Research Station, 207 Research Station Road, Plym-outh, (252) 793-4118; Jewell Tetterton, superintendent.

• Lower Coastal Plain Tobacco/Cunningham Research Station, 200 Cunningham Road, Kinston, (252) 527-3579; Phillip Win-slow, superintendent.

• Piedmont Research Station, 8350 Sherrills Ford Road, Salisbury, (704) 278-2624; Joe Hampton, superintendent.

• Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station, 74 Research Drive, Fletcher, (828) 684-7197; Denny Thompson, superinten-dent. Forms for submitting samples

will be available at collection sites.

Samples also may be mailed directly to the lab at the following address:

N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services; Food and Drug Protection Division; 1070 Mail Service Center; Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1070.

For additional information about the aflatoxin testing program, con-tact Jennifer Godwin or Michelle Gilliam at the NCDA&CS Food and Drug Protection Division, 919-733-7366.

Professional event photographer to capture ‘Ache Around the Lake’Fifth Annual Ache Around the Lake Saturday, Oct. 2

Ache Around the Lake organizers recently announced that professional photographer Kelli Covil Collins will be taking race pictures at the 5th an-nual run/walk to benefit St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation.

Collins is donating her time and talent to photograph, edit and catalog more than 300 pictures of the race, most of which will be of individuals and groups as they cross the finish line. All photos will be available for purchase at Kelli C Photography. All overall event pictures will be donated by Collins to the foundation.

“Many people use a race as a personal challenge. Capturing that moment of completion in a profes-sional photograph taken by someone as talented as Kelli – well, it offers those folks a unique reminder of the time when they gave it their all,” says Race Director Scarlette Tapp.

Collins, a native of Polk County, says she has always enjoyed photog-raphy, but recently turned her pas-sion into a profession. As a lifestyle photographer often using natural light, Collins specializes in events, weddings, newborns, and families. Her photo gallery can be viewed at kellicphotography.com.

“I love to help local non-profit

ters and Tracy Ravan along with their family and friends announce their engagement.

Tracy is the daugh-ter of L.A. “Spud” and Linda Ravan of For-est City, N.C., and is employed with Polk County Transportation Authority.

Tank is the son of Ricky Waters of Columbus and Janet C. Jackson of Tryon, the grandson of James and Patricia Cowan of Tryon and Mildred Waters of Columbus and

organizations any way that I can, and if my photography can help a cause I believe in, then I am glad to do it,” explains Collins.

Ache Around the Lake is an an-nual benefit for St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation that includes three ways to offer support: The Ache (8K or 5 miles); The Ouch (a two-mile fun run); and a race morning brunch at the historic Lake Lanier Tea House. All proceeds will benefit the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation’s “Building on Excellence” campaign. Brunch tickets must be purchased in advance. T-shirts and water bottles will go to the first 200 registered participants.

Columbus Lions brought vision van to Green Creek Heritage Festival

Columbus lions and their vision van at the green Creek Heritage festival. (photo submitted)

The Columbus Lions brought the North Carolina Lions “21st Century Vision Van” to the Green Creek Heritage Festival again this year. This half-mil-lion-dollar customized bus is equipped as an optical test lab to offer comprehensive vision screening when staffed by both Lions and medical profession-als, all of whom volunteer their time. Dr. Thomas Perraut and staff members Sharon Capps, Dawn McCullough, and Wanda Wofford of Blue Ridge Laser Eye Associates in Columbus were on board this year.

Dozens of people were screened and 30 percent of them were referred for further

attention by a medical profes-sional. Some had never before had an eye exam. These results indicate the value of this public service, and the Lions said they appreciated the cooperation of the Green Creek Festival to make the van available to a large number of people.

Seventeen Columbus Lions and a prospective member of the club devoted a total of 81 hours and drove 511 miles to bring the vision van to the festival. Participating Lions were Barbara Batchler, Lee Berry, Louise Cochran, Lisa Epley, Fran and Garland Goodwin (vision van chair-man), Dave Graham, Chuck

and Dee Huneycutt, Jim and Jo Ann Kearney, Yoshi Kinoshita, Roger Newman, Pat Recker, Jim Sauer, Frank Smith, and Helen Trevathan. Jane Torres also assisted.

Lions are recognized world-wide for their service to the blind and visually impaired. Columbus Lions take pride in helping to reach the goal of eliminating all preventable blindness, and appreciate the local contributions that enable them to bring the vision van here. For more information about the Columbus Lions, call president Fran Goodwin at 828-894-2505.

‘Being an American’ essay contest announcedStudents, teachers compete for cash prizes, trips to D.C.

U.S. high school students and their teachers are invited to compete for nearly $115,000 in prize money by participating in the Bill of Rights Institute’s fifth annual Being an American Essay Contest. Top prize win-ners and their teachers will also receive all-expenses paid trips to the nation’s capital.

The largest high school essay contest in the country, awarding 180 students and teachers with cash prizes and attracting more than 50,000 essays last year, this contest explores the rights and re-sponsibilities of American citizenship.

wwwThe contest is ad-ministered by the Bill of Rights Institute,a non-profit educational organization in the Washington, D.C., area devoted to educating chil-dren about the Constitution and founding principles. The sponsors include the History Channel and the Stuart Family Foundation.

“This contest is unique in that it gives students the op-portunity to think about the important civic values com-municated in our founding documents, and embodied by American civic heroes,” said Dr. Jason Ross, Bill of Rights Institute vice president of edu-cation programs. “This context is vital to helping students see their own acts of good citizen-ship as a meaningful part of the American experiment of self-government.”

Specifically, students are asked to share their thoughts on American citizenship by answering the following ques-tion: “What civic value do you believe is most essential to be-ing an American?”

The top three student win-ners and their teachers from each of the nine geographical regions will be announced at a special Washington, D.C., Awards Gala in the spring of 2011, where they will be awarded cash prizes of $5,000 (first place), $1,000 (second place), and $500 (third place). The winning students will also explore the nation’s capital, meet contemporary American heroes and national leaders, and visit national landmarks.

Additionally, the contest will award 126 honorable men-tion prizes of $100 to seven students and their teachers from each region.

“The contest not only hon-ors and awards sponsoring teachers, but also equips them with free lesson plans and other supplemental materials that meet state and national academic standards so they can easily incorporate the essay contest into their classrooms,” said Being an American Essay Contest director John Croft.

Nearly 100,000 students have participated in the essay contest since it began in 2006. Now in its fifth year, the contest is the largest high school essay contest in the country.

“The Being an American Essay Contest is a wonderful way to awaken students’ inter-est in the ideas of the American Founding. The Stuart Family Foundation is honored to be one of the Contest’s supporters,” said Stuart Family Foundation Executive Director Truman Anderson.

Further information, includ-ing submission criteria, com-plete contest details, lesson plans and background information on the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Founders and other Ameri-cans who have contributed to America’s shared civic values, are available at www.BeingAn American.org.

Living Simply

With Style

By ford and mara smith

All of us are given the same 24 hours a day to manage. Those who are successful at living simply with style handle their time allotment so they are seldom bored or frazzled.

The first notion of time we must accept and practice in our lives is that it’s never too late.

We may have procrastinated in the past, but we can begin to take action today. Want to write poetry? Jot down a rhyme. Desire to lose weight? Change an eating habit over the next couple of meals. Thinking about a computer? Devote some time at a public library with a terminal. Have an unresolved conflict with family or friends? Pick up the phone or pen now. Come up with solutions to your usual ex-cuses. Take ad-vantage of that special gift, a second chance.

The other as-pect of time is to understand how to hurry slowly. Savoring the mo-ments, slowing down, and spending half our hours in quiet and calm – all depict a person who is living wisely. Some people are able to discover this reflective pace by adjusting daily schedules. Others need to allocate special days for these peaceful pleasures. Treat

yourself kindly.When we find things we really

want to do, we’ll find the time to do them. This is one of life’s dif-ficult lessons: No matter what people claim their dreams might be, their real dreams and values are expressed by how they spend their time. We may not be able to instantly achieve a dream, but if we’re serious, we can take the first steps. If we truly desire to travel, we’ll make an excursion, even if it’s to a nearby park rather than around the world. If we have a passionate desire to read, we’ll do it even if it requires reserving a small block of time in our schedule. If you’re still

struggling, cre-ate a deadline or have a reward ready for taking action.

A n e y e -opening exer-cise is to dis-cover how you

spend your days. If you’ve kept an appointment calendar, you can look back over the past year and made a list of things. Put them in two columns, fill one with the less-than-wonderful experiences; in the other, list the rewarding events. You may be surprised at how much time was squandered on the trivial and how little on your passions. If you don’t

Make time into your friendhave the appointment calendar to review, start making notes each day on how much time you allocate to each activity. Naturally, the goal is to identify the times you’re happiest and expand them, while noticing times when you’re least happy and reduce them.

Be wary of common time leech-es. Too much attention focused on items such as TV, the news, gos-sip, complaints, celebrities, social networking, etc. can drain much of your energy with little positive to show for it. Put more effort into choices that reward you emotion-ally, physically, or financially.

Our lives blossom when we carefully nurture how we use our time. When we balance our reflec-tive moments with our active ones, when our stated priorities coincide with our usage of time, we find that time becomes our trusted friend.

Editor’s Note: The Smiths have two new websi tes for their two new books: www. endangeredthebook.com and www.winning-wines.com. Both books are for sale at The Book Shelf in Tryon.

Editor’s Note: This article is based on one of Mara & Ford Smith’s 101 Secrets for a Great Retirement. That book and others by Mara and Ford are available at Tryon’s Book Shelf.

Isothermal to offer equine marketing class in October

Isothermal Community Col-lege Polk campus announces a new fall continuing education course, Equine Marketing 101, designed especially for equine businesses.

The class will cover such top-ics as defining equine business, recognizing your audience, new customers vs. long term custom-ers, case studies of successful equine businesses, what makes the horse business different, getting

the word out, advertising basics, new social media, sponsorships, ideas for effective marketing, and building a marketing plan.

Libbie Johnson, owner of Johnson-Powell LLC, a marketing and public relations firm special-izing in the equine industry, will teach the course.

Classes are scheduled for Thursdays, October 14, 21, 28 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Polk Campus. To register or for more information, call 828-894-3092.

Warden, Smith inducted into Second Wind Hall of Fame

Carolyn Jones of the second wind Hall of fame awards Judy warden and loren smith certificates as newly elected members of The second wind of fame. (photo submitted)

Tryon Fine Arts Center re-cently sponsored two members into the Second Wind Hall of Fame. Executive director Beth Child presented each of them a certificate at a meeting of the board of directors.

Judy Warden and her hus-band, Dave, moved to this area in 2001 from Fairfax City, Va., where Judy was active in the PTA, Mobile Wives Club, local garden club and real estate. She is a registered nurse and served in the Navy as a lieutenant dur-ing the Vietnam War. She and Dave lived in Saudi Arabia for several years while Dave was the personnel director for Mo-bile Oil.

Since moving to Tryon War-den has served on the Tryon Fine Arts Center Board for six years, most recently as co-president. She was also on the Humane So-ciety board from 2003 to 2006, started the successful Thanks-giving Barn Tour for FENCE, and served as social chairman for the Tryon Riding Hunt Club 2006 through 2008.
