Tryon Daily BulletinTennant honored with Order of Long Leaf Pineby Leah Justice

Columbus Fire Chief Geoff Ten-nant encountered a few surprises on November 7, the biggest being presented with the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the highest civilian honor in North Carolina.

Tennant received the award, pre-sented by Polk County Magistrate Lionel Gilbert on behalf of North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue, at a surprise retirement party held at Tryon Estates.

The retirement party was filled with local emergency service agen-cies, law enforcement officers and others, including Tennant’s former students. The event was catered by Moutain View BBQ, whose owner, Shane Blackwell, is also a member of the Columbus Fire Department.

Tennant is retiring as fire chief at the end of this year after holding

Rails to trails resolution approved by Town of TryonSaluda Grade Trail Committee establishedby Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon has approved its support of turning the railroad into a trail system for hikers, bikers and equestrian activity.

Tryon Town Council met last week and held a lengthy discussion about the project. The resolution was approved by a 3-1 vote, with councilman Wim Woody voting against.

Discussions included Woody say-

ing that if the tracks are removed, it takes out any chance of rail travel on the scenic route between Charleston, SC, and Asheville. Woody says he doubts Northfolk Southern, the owner of the railroad, would agree to give up the line and added that the area couldn’t afford restoring and maintaining the rail bed.

Councilman Doug Arbogast dis-cussed a recent trip to Damascus, VA, taken by area officials and what its rails to trails project has done for

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis presents an award from the Polk County Fire Chief’s Association during a retirement party for Columbus Fire Chief Geoff Tennant.

the position since 1982. He has served as firefighter for 35 years and retired as an educator after 30 years of service. Tennant is currently the chair of the Polk County School Board.

Tennant joined the Colum-bus Fire Department in the mid-1970s. Then, the depart-ment consisted of a small all-volunteer force and a couple of fire trucks. Today, the depart-ment has one paid firefighter and 28 active volunteers in addition to junior members and several associate members who also belong to neighboring departments.

“I don’t think you can under-stand how much the people in this room mean to me,” Tennant told those in attendance.

Tennant was lured to Tryon Estates that evening by a fire alarm activation at the retire-ment community in Columbus. The fire alarm call was nothing new to Tennant, but soon after entering the room, Tennant re-alized the setup as he was met with a standing ovation.

“It was the only way we could get him here,” said Co-lumbus Deputy Fire Chief Bobby Arledge. “If we told him we were having a retirement party, he wouldn’t have shown

up. If it’s a fire call, we know he’s coming.”

Arledge will take over the chief position at the beginning of the year.

Tennant was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, along with several other presen-tations from many of the service agencies Tennant has worked closely with over the years. Those in attendance included all Polk County emergency service and law enforcement agencies, mutual aid fire depart-ments and Regional One.

“The opportunity to work with him in so many roles has been incredible,” said Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. “He has been a colleague, my fire chief and most importantly, my friend.”

Davis served as the Polk County Fire Marshal and later as deputy chief at the Columbus Fire Department before taking the Tryon fire chief position.

Tennant expressed surprise when presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, which has also been awarded to Bob Timberlake, Charles Kuralt and fellow University of North Carolina Alumnus, Mi-chael Jordan. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented to individuals who have a proven

"Professional Work at the best prices guaranteed!"

The Saluda Oral History Project has begun. The first interviews were with Martha Anderson, Charlene Pace, and John Rhodes.

Asheville-based Eljapa Media Group will be doing the taping and producing a DVD which will be available for sale when the project is finished.

During Hometown Christmas Stroll on Friday, Dec. 10, the committee will have a display

set up at Macon Bank describing the timeline for the project. Con-tributions and donations will be accepted at that time to help with the funding of the project.

Businesses will also be given an opportunity to sponsor the production of the DVD.

This project is one of the priorities of the Historic Sa-luda Committee. Seed money of $2,500 was funded by the City of Saluda to start the project.

Saluda oral history project interviews begin

the economy. He said the town, which is a little smaller than Tryon, has six bed and break-fasts and six bicycle shops. Having a destination here in Tryon for weekend or day trips would be great for the local economy, Arbogast said. He said most trail destinations that are successful include a large hill, and with the Saluda Grade being the largest grade in the U.S., “we’ve definitely got a big hill.”

The Virginia Creeper Trail stretches 35 miles from Abing-don, VA, through Damascus, VA, to the North Carolina State line. The Virginia Creeper Trail is open to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding and was created along a former rail bed.

Arbogast also said the trail system could be tied into Try-on’s Vaughn’s Creek Greenway project, which will connect three town parks with property

acquisition just underway. Councilman Roy Miller

asked if the town hadn't, in re-cent years, passed a similar ef-fort. John Vining responded that the carriage club had planned to have scenic tours along the railway. Vining said that effort didn’t go anywhere in part due to the liability of having an en-gine carrying passengers.

Andy Millard, who is cur-rently restoring the Tryon De-pot, introduced the resolution and said likely, in the future, Norfolk Southern will abandon the rail bed and the property will probably defer to various prop-erty owners along the line.

Crys Armbrust said that the plan is to fill the rail bed with crush and run and roll over it to pack it down. He said the Tryon Downtown Develop-ment Association (TDDA) supports the effort, along with the Foothills Chamber of Com-merce. The town intends to also get approval from the cities of Saluda and Landrum and Polk County.

record of extraordinary service to the state. The long leaf pine is the official state tree of North Carolina and as of the end of 2006, has been awarded to just under 6,700 individuals.

Tennant’s version of retire-ment will still involve respond-

ing to emergency calls. He refers to it as a retirement, but says not much will change.

“Will I get up at three in the morning to go to a tree down,” Tennant said, “Probably not. But if we have something like we had (a couple of weeks ago) on I-26 (referring to a fatality wreck), you can bet I’m com-ing.”

Eugene (Gene) John Kempton

Eugene (Gene) John Kemp-ton, 78, of Six Mile, SC, died November 16, 2010 at Oconee Hospice of the Foothills.

Born on June 7, 1932 in Des Moines, IA, to Chris Joseph and Mabel Wise Kempton, he attended Theodore Roosevelt High School and Drake Univer-sity. Gene served in the National

Guard and was a pilot in the United States Air Force, retiring in 1967 after flying 43

combat missions over Vietnam, commanding a B-52 assigned to the 367th Bomb Squadron of the Strategic Air Command.

His career as an aviator con-tinued as a commercial airline pilot, filling his passport with stamps from airports all over the globe. He was never in the news for heroically landing a disabled aircraft but was simply proud to have safely delivered his pas-sengers to their destinations. He retired from aviation in 1985 to an old farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge in South Caro-lina where much of his family remains to this day.

In retirement, Gene was devoted to his family and en-joyed annual summer trips to the American West, camping, fishing and visiting distant fam-

Obituaries ily members. He survived one especially memorable trip in the company of three pre-teen granddaughters and always spoke fondly of his fishing trips with Kenny in Washington State. All those who knew Gene have enjoyed the wit and humor

that he had honed along the way.

He is sur-v i v e d b y a sister, Phyllis Hall of Des Moines, two sons, Chris-topher of Six

Mile, SC, and Curtis of Co-lumbus, and two daughters, Anne and Rebecca, both of Six Mile, SC. He was the proud grandfather of Justin, Austin, Jaylyn, Kyle, Ben, Sammy, Sarah, Stephanie and Julia and his great-grandsons Cameron and Braiden.

Gene was preceded in death by his wife, Loralle Ballou of Salina, KS.

No immediate services are planned. A memorial and cele-bration of his life will be planned for a later date. Contact Chris Kempton at 864-868-6530 or [email protected] for more information. Memorials may be made to The Cottingham House and mailed to: Oconee Hospice of the Foothills, Foundation Office, 298 Memorial Drive, Seneca, SC 29672.

Two art shows on display at TFACAviva and Adam Kahn are now

showing their paintings and sculp-tures in Tryon Fine Arts Center’s (TFAC) Mahler Family Board Room through December 18. Adam’s sub-ject matter ranges from a red hawk to an abstraction of “Autumn Coming.” Adam says his earliest influence was Vincent Van Gogh and he’s tried to maintain that vigorous and powerful force behind his paintings.

Aviva’s pieces range from bowls and vases to sculpture and some figure studies using charcoal and pastels. Her Etude series consists of nine bowls all slab-made from porce-lain clay using the same bowl mould for each but varying each bowl with

glazes, turquoise, shells and feath-ers. She has some Ikebana (Japanese style of flower arrangements) con-tainers and a few clay sculptures. Her wood pieces deal with the female form except for two manzanita burls. Many new names are showing in the Membership Show in Gallery One. The paintings and sculptures range from abstract, landscape, still life, portraits of humans and animals to a birdhouse and more.

TFAC’s hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. If you have any questions, call 828-859-8322 ext. 212.

Letter to the Editor

Misinformation continuesTo the Editor:

It is always interesting to read the letters in the Bulletin. I have learned much by checking the “facts” in them. In the latest by Annette Koluch I found some errors that were probably found in false e-mails that have become painfully common.

In Ms. Koluch’s letter from November 18th she states that Representatives DeFazio and Harkin had introduced a bill, HR 4646 “Debt Free America Act,” that would apply a 1 percent tax on all monetary transactions. I wish Ms. Koluch would have used the time she spent writing the letter to check the validity of the e-mail she received. Actually HR 4646 is a bill that was intro-duced by Representative Chaka Fattah (D) from Pennsylvania on February 23, 2010. The bill has no co-sponsors and is still in committee. This bill is a pet

project of Rep. Fattah, apparently called a hobby-horse bill, in which he proposes the fee to replace the income tax and pay down the national debt. These types of bills are introduced every session and have no chance of making it out of committee, so Senator Burr and Representative Shuler will never vote on any of these bills.

Ms. Koluch continues to in-form us that “They are sneaking this in after the election.” Again it was introduced on February 23, 2010, which was before the election. Also there is a reference to President Obama as “the man” who is behind this horrid bill. No-where could I find a link between Mr. Obama and HR 4646.

The election may be over but misinformation continues. If you receive a piece of information that seems too outrageous to be true, then it probably is! The “other side” is seldom as nefari-ous as they are portrayed in our splintered media landscape, so don’t believe everything that comes from a glowing screen.

The Math Club at Polk County Middle School celebrated National Metric Week recently. Annually, National Metric Week is the week in which the tenth day of the tenth month falls. To celebrate Metric Week, the Math Club held a metric quiz contest open to all students at the school. The student at each grade level with the most correct answers was the winner for that grade. Each winner was given a certificate, a coupon for a large slushy drink from the cafeteria, and a bag with one pencil, 10 candies, and 10 sheets of 10 paper reinforcements. The contest winners are (pictured from left) Colby McGuinn, grade 8, Jeremy Allsbrook, grade 7, and Erica Sullivan, grade 6. There were also three runner-up students, Biaonca Williams and Chastin Smith, both grade 7, and Hannah Netschytaio, grade 6. (photo submitted by Carlann Sherping)

Gov. Perdue announces $3.2M in federal AmeriCorps grants availableApplications due by February 25

N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue recently announced more than $3.2 million in federal grants for North Carolina nonprofits and government agencies to recruit AmeriCorps members to provide tutoring, mentoring, disaster services, environmental stewardship, education on healthy futures, job training and placement and aid to military families.

The N.C. Commission on Vol-unteerism and Community Service, housed in the governor’s office, will coordinate the grants.

“AmeriCorps members will have great opportunities through these nonprofits and government agencies to give back to North Carolina communities,” said Gov. Perdue.

To apply, interested organiza-tions must attend a training and technical assistance session, which discusses administrative regulations and policies, as well as program and reporting requirements. To register for one of these workshops, e-mail

Alicia Hartsfield, chief AmeriCorps program officer, at [email protected], or call 919-715-2278 at least three days prior to the session. Fiscal and programming staff is required to attend. Exact locations will be emailed to you once you register. The workshops are free and will be offered on the following dates:

• Tuesday, November 30, Ra-leigh;

• Wednesday, December 8, Charlotte;

• Thursday, December 16, Win-ston-Salem;

• Wednesday, January 12, New Bern.

Grant applications are due to the N.C. Volunteer Commission by noon on Friday, February 25, 2011. Application forms are available on the N.C. Volunteer Commission’s website, www.volunteernc.org, or by calling the N.C. Volunteer Com-mission at 919-715-3470 or 1-800-820-4483. Grants will be awarded based on community support, pro-gram design, organizational capac-ity, budget adequacy, sustainability

and documented goals.AmeriCorps is a domestic ver-

sion of the Peace Corps that engages 75,000 Americans in intensive, result-driven service each year. AmeriCorps members tutor and mentor school-aged youth, improve the quality of childcare for preschool children, assist individuals with disabilities in gaining employment and provide new U.S. Citizens with interpretation and translation services.

The N.C. Commission on Vol-unteerism and Community Service, a federal- and state-funded agency housed in the Governor’s Office, administers funding to 10 N.C. AmeriCorps programs for the 2010-2011 program year. Since 1994, more than 12,153 individuals have participated in those national service programs in North Carolina.

Wolverines get ‘monkey’ off their backsPC advances tothird round of playoffs for first timeby Joey Millwood

the polk County football team avoided slipping on a banana peel and threw the “monkey” that had been on its back for far too long aside on Friday night and dominated east rutherford en route to its first ever trip to the third round of the North Carolina state playoffs.

the Wolverines dominated the Cavaliers from start to finish for a 27-7 victory. The Wolverines overcame some early mistakes in the first half to go into the locker room with a 6-0 lead. The only Wolverine touchdown in the first half was set up by a Jay sutton fumble recovery with a little over seven minutes left in the second quarter.

“I was ecstatic,” sutton said. He should’ve been be-cause the play proved to be the most important one of the first half. a Cary Littlejohn sweep set up a second down play where quarterback andre overholt dropped back and hit Joel Booker for a 22-yard pass to the one-yard-line. With six minutes left in the half, overholt punched it in to put the Wolverines on the board. A two-point conversion failed moments later.

at the start of the third quarter, the Wolverines put together a long drive, eating up the clock. Littlejohn and overholt took turns shredding the Cavalier defense. On a first down from the East 25-yard-line, Littlejohn took a pitch from overholt, turned his burn-ers on, and wove in and out of

Cavalier tacklers on his way to the endzone.

on the following kickoff, the Cavaliers ran the ball back to the Wolver-ine 45-yard-line where polk kick-e r J a c o b Christians-e n m a d e a t o u c h -down sav-ing tackle. Chistiansen isn’t your ordinary kicker, ollis said. according to ollis, if all the Wolverines lined up for the forty-yard-dash, when the dust settled, Chris-tiansen may very well be the fastest player on the team.

“It was good just to get the chance to make a play for my team,” the kicker said.

three plays later, tyler philpott blew up the Cavalier

line recovered a fumble for the Wolverines halting the Cava-liers best drive to that point. six plays later, Cody orick ran

in a one-yard touch-down.

e a s t r u t h e r -ford’s only touchdown came with 7:47 left in the fourth

quarter and it was answered with a long Wolverine touch-down drive to end the game. on fourth and one, overholt handed off the ball to Littlejohn and the tailback scampered up the middle for a 15-yard touchdown with 1:39 left in the game.

“We rushed the ball really well,” ollis said. “We were getting a great push up front.

We felt we could win the game in the trenches.”

the Wolverines will travel to Lincolnton on Friday at 7:30 p.m. for the third round of the state playoffs.

polk will be hosting a spe-cial practice on thanksgiving at 7 p.m. The practice will be open to the public.

“We rushed the ball really well. We were getting a great push up front. We felt we could win the game in the trenches.”

Glassy Mtn. Fire Department offers Thanksgiving cooking safety tipsThe kitchen is the heart of the

home, especially at Thanksgiving. So, the Glassy Mountain Fire De-partment and National Fire Protec-tion Association want everyone to be aware that Thanksgiving is the leading day of the year for home fires involving cooking equipment. By following a few safety tips, folks can prevent these fires when there is a lot of activity in the kitchen and people at home:

Cook with caution• Stay in the kitchen while fry-

ing, grilling or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.

• If simmering, baking, roasting or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.

• Keep anything that can catch fire – oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains – away from the stovetop.

• Make sure kids stay away from

the stove, hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns. Kids should stay three feet away from the hot stove

• Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocket-books or bags

• Keep knives, matches and util-ity lighters out of reach of children

• Make sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child

• Never leave children alone in a room with a lit candle

• Make sure smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.

If you have a cooking fire:• Get out first. When you leave,

close the door behind you to help contain the fire.

• Then call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number after you leave

• If you try to fight the fire, be

sure others are getting out and you have a clear way out

• Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turn off the stovetop. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.

• For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed

“If folks take the extra precau-tions listed above, then everyone should have a good and safe Thanks-giving,” said Bryan G. Riebe, chief of Glassy Mountain Fire Depart-ment. “Deep-frying turkeys have become increasingly popular over the years but they can be very dan-gerous! The fryers have a high risk of tipping over, overheating or spill-ing hot oil that could lead to fires, burns or other serious injuries. We recommend that anyone trying to deep-fry a turkey heed the following safety tips.”

Frying a turkey? Special safety tips:

• Fryers should be used outdoors on a solid level surface a safe dis-tance from buildings and flammable materials.

• Never use a fryer on a wooden deck, under a patio cover, in a ga-rage or enclosed space

• Don’t overfill the fryer• Never leave the fryer unat-

tended because, without thermostat controls, the oil will continue to heat until it catches fire.

• Never let children or pets near the fryer when in use or after use as the oil remains hot for hours

• Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts and wear long sleeves and safety goggles to protect from splatters

• Make sure the turkey is com-pletely thawed before placing in a fryer

• Keep all-purpose fire extin-guishers nearby

• If a turkey fryer fire occurs, call 911 immediately

chesTer Damron, aBe lincoln impressionisT

Chester Damron, famous Abe Lincoln impressionist, will have the 11 a.m. worship hour and the 5 p.m. afternoon program.

By way of introduction, many of you will know Dam-ron by the name of Uncle Dan from his radio program with Aunt Carol on “The Story Hour.” Damron has served as a pastor, a missionary and dedicated a large portion of his life to bringing Abe Lincoln alive to the world.

Currently he is taking “Abraham Lincoln’s Value

Clarification Program” into K-12 classrooms in schools across America. This teaches students what “value” really is and how they can choose values and practice those values at home, at school and at play.

This is a most unusual opportunity to see a re-enact-ment of a valued and greatly-loved president. The public is invited to attend this program at no charge. For further in-formation call 828-859-6407 or 828-817-5231.

Josephine “Jodie” Lashua

Josephine “Jodie” M. Clarke Lashua of Tryon, NC, died at White Oak Manor on Novem-ber 19, 2010 after a courageous fight with a debilitating neuro-logical condition.

Jodie was born to Jessica Gladys Parker and William Jo-seph Clarke on March 15, 1935 in Ashford, Kent, England. She was one of four siblings. She took it as a personal mission to make sure that all her family knew the importance of boiling water to make a good cup of English tea (hot tea, that is) and how important tea was for all that ailed you.

Jodie had many sayings that her children and grandchildren warmly called “Nannie-ism’s.” Sayings such as “I have a bone in my leg” when she didn’t quite feel good; “Close your mouth there is a bus coming” and the family favorite “What did your last servant die of?”

Jodie was a long time mem-ber of The Episcopal Church of The Holy Cross in Tryon. She loved the church and often was a reader where her still notice-able English accent made the readings enjoyable to all.

The family was very proud of Jodie when as an adult, she obtained her bachelor’s degree in History from Converse Col-lege in Spartanburg, SC, in 1989 at the age of 54, where she was often on the dean’s list. At the graduation ceremony, her son yelled “Go Mom!” which brought a standing ovation from all.

She worked for Spartanburg County, SC, as a librarian for 20 years and was librarian at Boil-ing Springs and later Landrum, SC, from which she retired in 2000. She was known by so many people for her love of books and her love of people and especially children. People still remember her reading them stories at the library as a child or for calling to inform them

Obituaries of a recommended book she knew they would enjoy. She absorbed all she read and was a great source of information for anyone interested in pretty much anything – especially English history.

Jodie was an avid walker for most of her adult life and was often seen walking for miles

near the fam-ily home on Warrior Drive and a round Harmon field with the fam-ily dog Lady and later, Miss Tea . Those

that did not know her personally would call her “That lady with the white dog” and everyone knew exactly who they were speaking of.

Jodie never knew a stranger and always greeted people with a warm smile and usually with a huge hug. She made people feel immediately comfortable as if they were friends for years.

Jodie loved to travel and appreciated other cultures and their people and she especially enjoyed an evening out of fine dining – especially when some-one else paid.

Jodie is survived by her loving husband of over 50 years, Elmer, and her children Martin (Mary) and Jennifer as well as her step-son Mark (Penni). She was very lovingly known as “Nannie” to her five grandchildren Sydney and Zoey Bezanson of Mooresville, NC; Sarah Lashua of Frisco, TX; Katie (Scott and great-grandson Ethan) Geller of Lewisville, TX, and Tim Lashua of Columbus, IN. She is survived by one sister, Barbara Littlewood of Sitting-bourne, England. Jodie was a firm believer that grandparents were meant to spoil their grand-children and tried to do that at every opportunity – often to their parent’s dismay.

Jodie was passionate about helping the needy and donated her time lovingly to Mobile Meals of Spartanburg County and often to Hospice and to

children’s literacy.A memorial service will be

held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, De-cember 1, 2010 the Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross, 150 Melrose Avenue, Tryon, NC with Rev. Dr. Michael Doty officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Mobile Meals of Spartanburg 419, East Main St., Spartanburg, SC 29302, 864-573-7684, www.mobile-meals.org, Hospice of the Caro-lina Foothills, 130 Forest Glen Drive, Columbus, NC 28722 or to Spartanburg County Library, 151 S. Church St., Spartanburg, SC 29306.

The family wishes to thank everyone at White Oak Manor and to Hospice for the care they provided and to all of her many friends and family that went out of their way to visit and pass on their well wishes.

The family asks that you cel-ebrate Jodie’s life and carry on her spirit of caring in whatever way you can.

Hoyle named Employee of the Third Quarter 2010 at St. Luke’s

Barbara Hoyle (second from left) is congratulated by co-workers (from left) Sharon Summey, Darlene Ernst, Kay Countryman, Phyllis Jones and Linda Bolin. (photo submitted)

Barbara Hoyle never planned to be a CNA. But six years ago when the textile company where she had worked for many years closed, CNA school was a natural progression for a woman who has always cared for others.

Hoyle has been an employee of St. Luke’s Hospital for five years. As a CNA on the geriatric psychiatry unit, Hoyle’s responsi-bilities include direct patient care such as assisting with bathing, dressing, toileting and feeding.

“Barbara is one of the most pa-tient people I have ever seen work on the unit,” said Phyllis Jones, co-worker. “It’s always a better

day when Barbara is here. She sees to that! She does her job and then some. Barbara is one of the best CNAs I have ever known.”

“Honestly, Barbara makes my job easier,” confides Sharon Sum-mey, nurse manager of the Center of Behavioral Medicine. “She has definitely found her calling and always has our patients on her mind. She takes the initiative and goes above and beyond her job duties.”

Hoyle says she loves her job, her co-workers and St. Luke’s Hospital. “I love my job. If anyone had told me several years ago I’d be a CNA on the geriatric psychia-

try unit at St. Luke’s Hospital, I would not have believed them. But I love it here. I love our patients and my co-workers. It’s an amaz-ing feeling at the end of the day to know you made a difference in someone’s life,” she said.

A resident of Forest City, Hoyle says she enjoys being the relief person for the mother of a quadriplegic child. She also says she enjoys caring for her own mother, reading and visiting the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Hoyle received a monetary award and designated parking space at the hospital.


Boy Scouts bury time capsule to commemorate 100th anniversary

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouting in America, the Polk County Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts buried a time capsule at the Polk County Courthouse.

Included in the capsule were assorted scout patches, scout photos, scouting magazines, a Boy Scout belt buckle, a toy car and a Yugioh trading card.

The participants in the cer-emony included Boy Scout Troup 659, by Susan Wallen and Joe Higgins; Troop 150, led

by Jocelyn Davis; Troop 128, represented by Doug Lyons; Cub Scout Pack 659, by Sandra Poteat and Amber Thompson; Cub Scout Pack 151, repre-sented by Cherri Pearson, and the Venturing Crew 659, led by Susan Wallen.

Susan Wallen played guitar and sang a song that she wrote especially for the occasion titled “We Are Scouts.” Chris Wallen, Eagle Scout, read the meaning of each scout law and performed a skit with Will For-

ster, telling how boy scouting in America came about.

The following people helped make the ceremony possible: Chris Cochran of Goode Monu-ments in Rutherford County do-nated the marker, Joel Bagwell made the time capsule, Amber Thompson printed the program, John Owens provided the sound system and Lynn Sprague and John Vining permitted the scouts to have this event during the Columbus Farm Festival.
