St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation’s Spring Fling kicks off capital campaign
Friends and supporters celebrat-ed the future of St. Luke’s Hospital during the first St. Luke’s Spring Fling, when St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation officials announced that more than $1 million has been raised to support the hospital’s Building on Excellence initiative.
The campaign focuses on expand-ing Orthopaedics and rehabilitation, services that have grown exponen-tially and increased the hospital’s reach far beyond Polk County.
“The St. Luke’s Spring Fling was an excellent opportunity to showcase the future of St. Luke’s
Hospital to long-time supporters and others in our community who may not know our story,” said Norm Powers, chair of St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation. “It was the perfect time to announce a very significant gift

to St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation through the estate of Tommy Thorne-Thomsen.”
A generous and caring man, the late Mr. Thomp-son recognized the impor-tance of St. Luke’s Hos-pital to the community, Powers said. Mr. Thomp-son’s gift of $600,000 will be used for new enlarged patient rooms to better accommodate patients. Included in the plans will be full bathrooms that are ADA accessible.
“In recognition of his generous gift, the new patient wing will be named in Tommy’s memory,” Pow-ers said.
“This gift, along with $285,000 in economic development funds that were awarded by the board of commissioners, will go a long way towards our project to enhance the Orthopaedics program at St. Luke’s Hospital,” said Ken Shull, president/chief executive officer for the hospi-tal. Shull explained that a successful orthopaedics program will generate additional revenue that will cascade to other services and ensure the suc-cess of St. Luke’s Hospital.
St. Luke’s Spring Fling provided the perfect opportunity to preview a short video that was created to help tell the St. Luke’s story, Pow-ers said.
“Our video, ‘Building on Ex-cellence,’ features several patients whose lives were greatly affected by accessible and exceptional health
care. With a short vignette featuring Dr. Tom Dashiell, our video helps to tell our story of providing excep-tional care, close to home,” Powers said. “This was a great time to share personal and touching stories from individuals who learned first hand that St. Luke’s Hospital is vital to our community.”
The five and a half-minute video will be shared throughout the com-munity, according to Carol Jackson, executive director of St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation. “We were so pleased with the finished product, which by the way, was not scripted. The words of their experiences were heartfelt and touching. We believe their stories will encourage others to support the hospital into the future.”
In addition to the video preview, a short program included expressed appreciation and a hospital update from Shull and Susan McHugh,

“While spring is a busy time of year for us all here in Polk County,” Jackson said, “I appreci-ate the hard work of Carol Meeske and the Spring Fling committee to make our event successful. Special appreciation also goes to Norm Powers for his work and dedication in creating a video to spread our message. Without doubt, St. Luke’s Hospital provides exceptional care, close to home.”
Tryon to target sewer problems on East Howard St.by Leah Justice
Tryon Town Council has de-cided to identify problems with the town's wastewater flow, especially in the East Howard Street area.
The state fined Tryon in De-cember last year about $7,000 for an overflow during a heavy rain.The town reported that during one event, 300,000 gallons of sewage overflowed near E. Howard Street.
Council last week agreed to apply for a $40,000 N.C. Rural Center grant to do inflow and infiltration studies throughout town, beginning in the E. Howard area. The town would be required to match the grant with $20,000, which is included in next year’s budget proposal.
One area on East Howard has experienced town sewage spill-ing for several years. After some incidents last year, particularly in the yard of Eunice Whitmire, the town did some repairs. Officials said last week that although those repairs have fixed some issues and no overflows have occurred dur-
ing recent heavy rains, they know there are still problems. Whitmire told the Bulletin last year that she had had sewage in her yard for years. She said it came up through a manhole during heavy rains.
The N.C. Department of En-vironment and Natural Resources (DENR) has been involved in working with the town, but has told Tryon that any more issues will result in further fines.
“Essentially we’re going to have to fix it because we’re going to be fined,” Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said last week. “(DENR has) already told us that.”
If the town is approved for the grant, inflow and infiltration stud-ies will be done in the area along with as many other areas as fund-ing allows. Tryon Public Works Director Joel Burrell said the studies will use smoke testing and cameras to locate the problems.
Town council said once prob-lems are located, they could create a capital improvement plan to provide funding to repair the problems.

“Jonathan (Kanipe) … has experience as a town manager and that was in North Carolina, where laws, agencies and resources are somewhat unique. So he will not have a steep learning curve on these things and can focus more on the needs of Columbus immediately.” -- Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre
first day of the new fiscal year on July 1.
Kanipe will be paid $55,200 annually.
“Jonathan fit the profile developed by town council,” says Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre. “He has experience as a town manager and that was in North Carolina, where laws, agencies and resources are somewhat unique. So he will not have a steep learning curve on these things and can focus more on the needs of Columbus immediately. Having grown up in our region, he will also have an idea of what to expect. His education and experience fit perfectly the profile we devel-oped.”
A native of Marion, Kanipe has an undergraduate degree
from UNC and was named Outstanding Senior in 2002. He completed a master’s of public administration at Ap-palachian State University in 2006, where he received the ASU Lo-cal Govern-ment Alumni Associa t ion Scholarship. He also com-pleted an in-ternship with the Town of Beech Moun-tain and holds a certificate of municipal administration from the UNC S c h o o l o f Government.
“I look for-ward to beginning my tenure in Columbus and feel there is
a great opportunity to make a positive impact for the town and citizens of Columbus,” Kanipe says. “I would like to thank the mayor and town
council for this opportunity. I am pleased to return to West-ern North Car-olina and my wife and I look forward to get-ting to know Columbus and the surround-ing area much better.”
K a n i p e is a member of the Inter-national City and County Management Associat ion
and the North Carolina City and County Management As-
sociation, a Rotarian and is a li-censed real estate agent. While in Catawba, he chaired the Western Piedmont Council of Governments, which worked on regional trails and green-ways on behalf of the regional creation committee.
Kanipe’s wife holds a mas-ter’s degree in history from Appalachian State, where she taught for two years. She works for the Catawba Science Cen-ter, a non-profit organization as an educator and teen volunteer coordinator. Kanipe’s parents reside in Marion, where his father is director of small busi-nesses and industry training at McDowell Technical Com-munity College and his mother is entering her 40th year as an elementary teacher at Nebo Elementary School.
Columbus received more than 60 applications for the manager position.

Rogers Park could get restrooms soonBy Leah Justice
Tryon could soon have pub-lic restrooms at Rogers Park.
Town council last week ap-proved authorizing the town manager to enter into negotia-tions on a contract with Danny Owens Construction for up to $53,000.
The idea of restrooms for Rogers Park has been discussed for a few years, since the town purchased the former Massey building across from the fire de-partment. Plans initially called for the building to be renovated to include public restrooms downstairs and housing quar-ters for rescue workers during events of inclement weather.
Problems arose during reno-vations, particularly with the foundation of the building. Once costs to fix the problems rose to more than $100,000, the town decided to demolish the building and seek other op-tions. Grants had already been awarded for the project in the amount of more than $61,000, with $41,000 coming from a N.C. Rural Center grant and another $20,000 coming from the Polk County Community Foundation.
Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said all the bids ini-tially came in around $15,000 over the town’s budget and he negotiated the scope down to about $53,000. Hembree said construction can begin within two weeks and estimated that the building will take between five and six weeks to build.
Tryon's downtown area does not currently have public re-strooms. The new building will serve the town as well as Rogers Park, which holds con-certs throughout the summer months.

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)

Steps to HOPE Benefit Hunter Pace and Trail Ride held May 16by Boots Plyler
The rain held off again for the Western Carolina Hunter Pace Series as 150 riders came out to enjoy the Steps to Hope Benefit Hunter Pace and Trail Ride on the Greenspace of Fairview Farms. It is getting to be a normal occur-rence that the inclement weather, no matter how severe it is sup-posed to be, seems to wait until the last rider is in before loosing its fury.
The rolling hills and forests of this property are always a delight to ride as much of it is included in a land trust and is not open to the public. The trails were well maintained and went through nat-ural as well as some artistically planted stands of trees. There was also a section along the river with a stand of laurel and the aroma of honeysuckle in the wind. The wa-ter crossings and low areas were terraced and filled to keep them safe and easily passable and any natural obstacles along the way were carefully marked.
The course, which began at the staging area on Born Free Farm, went past many more of the farms in the area and also included the galloping track. The designers took care of the problem of less experienced riders being over-taken by Derby wannabees in a unique way this year by having the course enter into the middle of the track. The slower eques-trians were instructed to go to the right for a shorter stint on the
turf and the racers were told to head left and go for it without the fear of upsetting a green mount or rider. The trail ended across a small wooden bridge and along a fence to finish where it began with Joey Cabaniss and his crew at the Start/Finish tent.
There is something to be said for the smell of grilling hamburg-ers and hotdogs at the end of a pleasant hack. Quite a few of the ponies got a rather speedy un-tacking as their owners answered the call from their stomachs and hurried to the food tent. Fortu-nately, the far-sighted Steps to HOPE crew had anticipated the need for a little equine pampering and handed out a carrot for each horse. The desserts were easy to eat finger foods such as brown-ies and cookies with plenty to go around for the sugar lovers. Grassy areas under the large trees made an inviting picnic spot.
Steps to HOPE is a shelter for victims of domestic violence and had many volunteers show up for this yearly fund-raiser. Board member Patty Otto donated the food as a memorial to her late husband who was also on the Steps to HOPE board. Many other board members brought the desserts and the cookies were donated by Jana Hinely of the Hungry Fox.
The rest of the volunteers

This ‘n thatTo the Editor:
Friday’s May 28, 2010 TDB had several articles and photos that interested me.
First was Garland Goodwin’s “Remember When” column. These two sentences stood out for me: “I think we should remember them, too, by including their timely care and postwar rehabilitation in the high cost of making war. Since we acknowledge our great debt to the veterans, why don’t we give them their due?” The only thing I’d change about that is why aren’t we insisting that Congress give them their due?
Before I retired, I worked with combat veterans in 24 different VA hospitals. The particular veterans that I worked with were all either homeless, or had recently been homeless. Almost all of them were estranged from their spouses, their parents, and their siblings, or they had been within the past 12 months. They were veterans who served in the Viet Nam War, the first Gulf
Letter to the Editor War, or Bosnia. All were trying to get their lives back and the staff at these VA hospitals who worked with them were some of the most dedicated people I’ve seen in over 30 years of working in rehabilita-tion. I appreciate you Garland for your column and your insight into an issue that needs the public’s attention.
The next article was by Pat Mc-Cool that gave a brief insight into the lives of Furman and Herman Walker’s determination to get into NC State and what they did there. Through their determination and more than a little good luck, they were able to become electrical en-gineers. Although they were a little older than me, I remember going to school with them.
I also enjoyed seeing the picture of “Tryon’s Blitzen Benz Team Wins In Nashville,” I know my friend Warren Board is enjoying his role in this group and I’m very happy for the team’s success as well as his hard work and commitment to that sport. I really enjoyed Friday’s Bulletin. I appreciate the Bulletin for sharing all of that with me.

This little fawn was found orphaned and almost dead and brought to the Foothill’s Shelter recently. They thought it had a broken leg, but it was alright although hungry and dehydrated.

Please… Don't leave Us in The Car!
When it's only 80 degrees outside, a car can heat up to over 120 degrees in just minutes. In a temperature that
high, a dog could easily die. That's why the American Kennel Club recommends that dog owners NEVER leave their dog alone in a car during the warm weather.

Unitarians meet Sunday, June 13
The Unitarian Universal-ist Fellowship will meet on Sunday, June 13, at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. at 10:30 a.m. Reverend Jean Rowe will speak on the topic: “When I Come To Die.”
Rowe says, “Facing the fact of our finite existence means more than projecting ourselves into the future. It also means carpe diem, seizing the day, the moment, now. It means living our life with a heightened awareness of what it is we’re experiencing, accompanied by the knowledge that this day, this moment, will not come again. We can’t always live this intensely, of course. But as we live with the awareness that we are going to die, it helps us to live more deeply and fully precisely because we understand that life is precious and limited.”
Come early and enjoy fel-lowship before the service. The annual meeting will be held after the service followed by a pot luck lunch. For information call 828-894-5776.

Last week, Cindy Walker, Carolyn Ashburn, and I went to Spartanburg to the United Resource Recovery Corp (NUR-RC) facility. We are gearing up for recycling at the Blue Ridge BBQ in just a few weeks (June 11th and 12th) and were told that this recycling company could provide the BBQ with recycling bins for bottles and cans. The public relations person there is named Brandy; she invited us to come for a tour of the facility to see their process. It was fascinat-ing. It has been a long time since I’ve been inside a building with a dozen or more working, vibrat-ing machines, each as big as our house. The gigantic machines are connected by conveyor belts or shoots carrying plastic bottles in various forms, starting at the back door loading dock with baled, smashed bottles and caps, ending with three or four grades of clean plastic chips that look like confetti suitable for use in different types of plastic prod-ucts. The highest quality chips are food grade for drink bottles, and the lower quality of chips are used for things such as battery covers or decking.
NURRC is a collaboration between URRC and Coca-Cola.
The Spartanburg plant may be the world’s largest PET Bottle-to-Bottle recycling plant (PET is food grade plastic used for coke and water bottles). Working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, NURRC produces 55 million pounds of recycled plastic flake; the Coca Cola Company needs a billion pounds of flake to supply its needs. Why does the NURRC company not produce more flake at this plant or it’s other plants around the country? Because they can’t get the used plastic bottles. We don’t recycle enough to supply their needs. Something like 85% of the plastic bottles produced go in the landfill.
For years, I’ve heard folks say that recycling is a waste of time because there is not a market for the used bottles and cans, or that we ship the used bottles to China and that’s a waste, or whatever. The reality is that recycling has turned into a growing, profit-able business. It’s not the old hippies that are touting the ban-ner; it’s the big boys like Coca Cola. Waste for one is profit for another.
Brandy gave us a blank look when we talked about the days when we took our coke bottles back to the store for a refund. She is too young; she’s 35 or so. What brought up the subject was that there is no market for recycles glass nowadays. Why? We don’t know. Could it be because no one can figure out how to make enough money recycling glass, that plastic is more profitable?
I was thinking about the three R’s: reduce, reuse, and recycle. The first two, reduce and reuse, don’t seem to have become a habit for us as a society. No one has encouraged us to reduce consumption or reuse products because industry and its market-ing gurus know that they can’s make any money if we reduce or reuse. Our society seems to be driven by what vendors want to sell us, convincing us that we need what they have to sell. The truth of the matter is that recy-cling is a huge waste of energy. It’s just not quite as wasteful as making plastic bottles out of virgin materials. Returning the glass bottles was the smart thing to do. Coca Cola started making

Polk County Schools’ employees donate to Thermal Belt Outreach
The employees of Polk Coun-ty Schools recently donated just over $7,000 to Thermal Belt Outreach (TBO) in an effort to help the organization continue to provide assistance to the com-munity’s children and families in need.
“The economy has taken a serious toll on many of our stu-dents and their families,” says Superintendent of Polk County Schools Bill Miller. “Many of our schools and individual class-rooms have collected funds and held food drives throughout the recent months and years, and we, as a staff, wanted to continue and extend this sense of giving. We see the need for the help Outreach provides everyday in the lives of our students, and it is our intent to do what we can to help.”
Currently, around 250 Polk County Schools’ students and their families receive food from the Feed-A-Kid backpack pro-gram, and the re i s currently a wait list f o r t h e program. Each year more than 4,000 in-dividuals in Polk County receive supportive services and counsel-ing from Thermal Belt that helps them out of crisis situations and
into self-sufficiency.TBO provides basic needs
such as food, utili-ties, fuel, transpor-tation, prescrip-tions, affordable housing, dental service, and ac-cess to health care to those in need in Polk County. To
promote self-sufficiency, TBO requires each person receiving assistance to pay a small portion of the bill for which they are
“Thermal Belt Outreach is currently serving twice the students it has in previous years and still has some who are on waitlists for the service.”

seeking help. No funds are given directly to clients.
“Thermal Belt Outreach is currently serving twice the stu-dents it has in previous years and still has some who are on waitlists for the service. This alone is a sobering testament to the seriousness of our families’ situations,” says Supt. Miller. “We hope that others groups and businesses will come together to support the many services TBO provides our community.”

plastic bottles rather than re-using the glass bottles because they could make more money, and it was easier. They were no longer responsible for the used bottle; that was our problem. And our dumps are overflowing with those plastic bottles, while Coca Cola profits grow. Conscientious citizens started protesting about the waste, so now Coca Cola is being the good guy, investing in a
recycling facility to process their own waste and get paid to do it. Somehow, it makes me think that us consumers are just plain suck-ers. We were convinced that it would be much easier to buy our soft drinks in a disposable bottle, and we pay. The earth is certainly paying for our gullibility.
Sometimes I get tired of the fact that our society is all about money. Life is so much more. Maybe if we can slow down a bit we will have time to reduce our energy consumption is all sorts
of ways, and reuse those things that have served us well in the past. It’s worth some thought for sure.
Since the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe, I’ve determined one ‘ultimate truth.’ Industry has the right to make money, but industry does not have the right to destroy life. Can we shift our patterns of consumption to sup-port industry that supports life? That would require a higher level of consumer participation for sure.
