Columbus seeks $10k in pledges from community to save Fab 4th fireworksby Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus is running out of time to decide whether the Fabulous 4th of July celebration will include fireworks this year.

The town has until Jan. 31 to cancel its contract with Zambelli Fireworks if necessary.

Columbus officials were hoping to raise approximately $10,000 from the community

to keep the fire-works show, since funding for the Fabulous 4th celebration was not includ-ed in this year’s tight budget.

The town has an existing con-tract with Zambelli Fireworks, and Zambelli notified the town last year that it could cancel the

2011 contract if it did so by the end of this month.

Columbus Town Council heard at its Jan.

20 meeting from councilwoman Ernie Kan, who said the Fabulous 4th committee has confidence it

“[Fireworks are] a big part of the Fourth of July. I say let’s go for it.”

Ben Seymour plays a tune on one of the many dulcimers he’s constructed in his backyard workshop. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

by Samantha HurstBen Seymour suffers from

“instrument acquisition syn-drome.”

Hundred-year-old restored guitars hang from his walls. Patterns and stacks of wood lying in wait to create dulci-mers and mandolins cover his workshop.

“I don’t have a living room, we just have instruments ev-erywhere – they are falling out in the floor,” he said.

Seymour’s drawn to every detail – the precise shape and curve of the wood, the tension of strings, the historic materials used to craft each piece.

“It’s basically just an attrac-tion to music,” Seymour said.

Seymour sat down for his first piano lesson when he was 6 years old. He danced his fingers across the piano for 13 years, but said later in his teen years it was hard picking up

girls playing the piano. Seymour said you could, however, hit on girls with a guitar slung around your back.

At 17, he picked up his first guitar and began what grew to be a lifelong love of music.

After high school, Seymour moved to Knoxville to attend the University of Tennessee. It was there he met the other love of his life, Becky Cleland, in philoso-phy of esthetics, an art class.

Cleland said his personality was infectious.

“Ben is so gregarious and fun, everybody loves him the moment they meet him and I think that has helped him so much along the way,” Cleland said.

Eventually, through his broth-er Wayne, who is also deeply entwined with the music com-munity, Seymour crossed paths with well-known dulcimer player Lois Hornbostle.

The two enthusiastically trad-ed talents.

Seymour taught her the art of stained glass – his and his wife’s profession at the time in Hen-dersonville – while Hornbostle

taught him to play the dulcimer. Seymour found himself im-

mediately attracted to the unique drones emitting from the dulcimer. He said it has a particular timbre unlike any other instrument.

Dulcimers have a poor reputa-tion as items sold at craft shows, Seymour said, where many peo-ple hear, “Oh, anybody can play


• Seymour(Continued from page 4)


the dulcimer.” He refers to the “dulcimers” sold at these events as DSOs or dulcimer–shaped ob-jects; better used as wall art.

While he doesn’t think ac-cessibility of music is ever a bad thing, he said the dulcimer’s reputation leads many to ignore the complex sounds one can pro-duce with the instrument.

“There is so much more you can do with a dulcimer,” Sey-mour said. “Playing across the notes, you’re playing lead lines – you can hang with the big boys, so to speak.”

The Green Creek musician and luthier (someone who creates and repairs stringed instruments) began playing with the big boys decades ago – he started con-structing dulcimers and guitars in 1982.

He’s created Paraguayan harps, travel guitars, mandolins, custom ukuleles and Irish bou-zoukis, which are, as Seymour calls them, “mandolins on ste-

roids.”He’s hewn cherry dulcimers

and a dulcimer with a Pasimas-quaddy inlay.

His skill in constructing increasingly rare instruments quickly grasped the attention of fellow musicians around the world and al-lows h im to champion not only dulcimers but a variety of nearly forgotten instruments.

S e y m o u r found his forte in the produc-tion of historical pieces – many d a t i n g b a c k centuries.

“Instead of just building a bunch of basic instruments, everything I produce has been customized to fit a specific musi-cian’s order,” he said.

As one of possibly only three people in the world who actively produce dulcimer antecedents, Seymour has spent countless

hours researching the history behind these musical relics.

Dulcimer antecedents are from a family of eastern Euro-pean fretted zithers. (Zithers are instruments strung from one end to the other, with tension pulling from both ends.)

There a re qu i t e t r i cky r o a d b l o c k s along the way of constructing such ancient ins t ruments . For many rare pieces, there a re minimal bits of informa-tion regarding how they were made.

“I do a lot of research,” he said.

Seymour is particularly well-known for building Scheitholts, a German instrument played dur-ing Revolutionary War days.

He’s in fact traveling in March to get his hands on several Scheitholts for the first time at the

Mercer Museum in Pennsylvania. He’s studied photographs of the instruments and detailed descrip-tions from the museum curator but wants more interaction with these rare instruments – his passion.

One of his more unexpected requests was to construct a Lan-geleik – a Norwegian zither that has not been regularly built since the 1700s.

The language issue alone presented enough barriers to Seymour collecting information on the instrument. The fact that maybe only a handful of people in Norway even know much about the instrument was another.

Then there’s the added fact that the Langeleik isn’t an easy piece to carve.

“It’s this elaborate thing that was just boogerish to do,” he said.

The more boogerish the bet-ter, though, said Seymour, who relishes in the chance to tackle even the most difficult instrument project.

can raise the money. She urged the town to go forward with the contract and raise the money in the meantime.

“From talking to people in town, people would like to have the fireworks,” said Kan. “That’s a big part of the Fourth of July. I say let’s go for it.”

Other council members did not seem as confident that the town could raise the money.

“I see the fireworks from my house and they are great,” said councilman Michael Gage, “but it’s not my money. I can’t go on a gamble because it’s not my money to do it.”

Mayor Eric McIntyre and councilman Richard Hall also expressed concern.

“If we don’t have any money right now, how much are we

going to have by July?” asked Hall asked.

McIntyre said almost $10,000 is a lot to go for. He said it would be one thing if the town was ask-ing for a couple thousand, but that’s not the case.

Council decided to ask Zam-belli for a one-month extension that would push the deadline to the end of February. If the deadline is extended, the town and committee plans to ask the community for pledges by the deadline and if enough pledges are obtained, the town will con-tinue with the contract.

Columbus has held a Fourth of July celebration downtown for decades. Festival costs have increased steadily, and council decided last year that it could not continue to pay for the festival. The town will still hold a festival this year, but it will be more com-munity based.

Landrum to work with Hampton County for drug enforcementby Leah Justice

L a n d r u m C i t y Council approved a mutual aid agree-ment last week with the Hampton County (S.C.) Sheriff’s Office to help with Landrum’s drug enforcement.

L a n d r u m C i t y Council met Tuesday, Jan. 18 and approved an agreement to al-low a specialized drug enforcement officer to work in Landrum a couple times a month. The mutual aid agree-ment was needed in order for a Hampton County officer to have jurisdiction in Landrum.

Landrum Police Lt. Tim Ed-gens said Landrum K-9 officer Sgt. Jason Coffin has met con-tacts in other South Carolina counties through conferences, and Hampton County agreed to offer its services to Landrum at no cost. Hampton County is

Landrum received Bruno, a K-9 dog, a few years ago. In just the first two years, the dog, “Bruno,” helped the city seize $24,000 in cash and numerous drugs.

Welcome to the

Hanukkah & Kwanzaa

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight can-dles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews. When the Jews would not worship the pagans, Epiphanes raided and destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. After seven years of fight-ing, Maccabee regained control, and the Temple was restored. The famous story states that only a small vial of oil was found to light the eternal lamps, yet they were blessed and burned for eight days, giving the Jewish people enough time to acquire more oil for the lamps. The symbolic lighting of the menorah occurs at sundown for the eight days during Hanukkah. Children also trade gifts and play with games and toys, such as a driedel. Special foods, such as fried potato cakes and fried donuts, are served during Hanukkah. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Professor Maulana Karenga, a Black Studies professor from California State University in Long Beach, California. Kwanzaa is a celebration of the African family and culture. It begins on December 26 and ends on January 1. The name Kwan-zaa comes from the Swahili term which means “first fruits of harvest.” Much like the menorah of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa has seven symbolic candles lit each night symbolizing aspects of the culture. Each night, one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa-- unity, self-determination, col-lective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith--is discussed. Kwanzaa is also represented by seven symbols--crops, a mat, a candleholder, the seven candles, ears of corn, gifts, and the Kikome Chad Umoja (The Unity Cup).

The Boy Scouts of America The Boy Scouts of America was officially founded on February 8, 1910, by William D. Boyce. The program was modeled after a similar group formed in London, England, in 1908 by a man named Robert Baden-Pow-ell. During a visit to London, Mr. Boyce was aided by a scout, often referred to as the “Unknown Scout,” who aided him with directions and then refused to accept a tip. It was upon his return to the states that he had the Boy Scouts, or BSA, incorporated. Early predeces-sors to the official program included the YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association), the Sons of Daniel Boone Organization founded by Daniel Carter Beard, the Woodcraft Indians founded by Ernest Thompson Seton, and the American Boy Scouts founded by Wil-liam Randolph Hearst. Many other smaller organiza-tions were also active during this era, and most all of them, except for the YMCA, were eventually merged with the Boy Scouts. Today there are approximately 120,000 Boy Scout Units in the United States. The mission of the Boy Scouts is to provide young men with values and morals that will help them with a lifetime of decision making and to teach them skills to reach their full potential. It is a highly organized group with different levels for boys starting at seven years to age 20. Young scouts begin with the Cub Scouts, followed by the Boy Scouts, and lastly, the Ventur-ing program. These groups do many things, includ-ing meetings, volunteering in the community, and field trips which include camping. Through these activities they earn badges as they achieve new skills, all while learning the values stated in the Scout Law and keep-ing the Scout Oath.

Aren’t science, medicine and technology wonderful?

Just a century ago, life expec-tancy was just about 50 years be-cause of the number of diseases for which we have since found pre-ventatives and cures. Now we’re living well into our 80s with the 85+ age group the fastest growing segment of our population.

Living to 100 is no longer seen as a unique miracle, but a much more com-mon occurrence. With increased longevity, how-ever, comes the real diseases of aging which in-clude heart disease, the number 1 killer of Americans, plus the far more feared diseases of cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Notwithstanding that most boomers, the first of who were born in 1946, will begin turning 65 in January 2011. Most have very little money set aside for their looming retirements.

This is compounded by the big three segments of our Federal Budget – Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security already showing signs of serious financial strains.

We’re also facing a tremendous shortage of physicians trained to specifically care for our aging population. There’s no money in the geriatric specialty, and Medicare reimbursements could be reduced by about 23 percent in 2011. Keep in mind our current senior population is about 30-mil-lion Americans.

It should shock you to learn that in 2003 only 167 American-trained doctors completed the specialty needed to be certified

geriatricians. As recently as 2007, the number of American-trained physicians that sought geriatric specialization fell to only 91 new doctors nationwide.

So, who will be caring for you as you reach your 80s, 90s and beyond?

If you answered primary physi-cians, you’re correct, but even they are now dealing with challenges created by changes to Medicare

and other health-care insurances that threaten the financial viability of their practices.

While skilled, general physi-

cians are not trained to pick up on the unique problems of diagnosing the aging. In the short time they have per patient, they could easily miss a problem entirely or worse, misdiagnose a problem and pre-scribe medicines that exacerbate the condition.

The situation gets even more dire for those Dr. Stephen Jones, a geriatrician and expert in gerontol-ogy and the director of the Center for Healthy Aging at Greenwich Hospital, calls Geri-Boomers. Geri-Boomers may find them-selves caught not in the sandwich generation caring for their kids and aging parents, but trapped in what Dr. Jones calls the “Club Sandwich Generation.” As we live longer, Geri-Boomers may be car-ing for themselves, their parents and their own grandchildren as their adult children struggle with economic survival.

The truth is our ability to push the longevity envelope has been more successful than our ability to deal with the diseases of aging.

Too few specialists, over-burdened general practitioners and inadequately funded pro-grams such as Medicare, already straining under today’s burdens of only 30-million seniors could combine to form the perfect storm for aging.

Add to those facts the impact of Alzheimer’s disease. Today with almost 5-million Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s dis-ease, doctors are diagnosing one new case every 71 seconds. One out of every eight Americans 65 and older is being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and it’s even worse for those at age 85. In the 85-plus group, half of all seniors face the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Of the elderly diagnosed with Al-zheimer’s, the majority are women who outlive men, meaning there are new concerns regarding their spending their later years widowed and often in or near poverty. Those numbers will increase from the current five million cases today to more than 30 million by 2030.

As you contemplate aging, and delight in the prospect of living to 80, 90 or longer, be careful what you ask for, because aging isn’t for sissies, and as of today, your prospects of a financially sound and healthy future face staggering odds and challenges.

Business training information session in Mill Spring Jan. 27

The agricultural community can take advantage of upcoming business training by attending an information session at the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center in Mill Spring on Jan. 27 from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.

In this session, participants will learn about crafting a solid business plan: developing a mission statement, estimating startup and overhead costs, set-ting profit goals, projecting cash flow, marketing, licensing and record-keeping.

Mountain BizWorks is a non-profit organization that provides training, financing and opportuni-ties through business development and capital. The mission of Moun-tain BizWorks is to inspire entre-preneurs who have viable business ideas and the discipline to follow through and to build economic opportunities through business training and capital. Through this foundation, clients will be able to access the resources they need to create successful businesses.

Mountain BizWorks has as-sisted many new business own-ers, but this session will have a special emphasis on agriculture. Agricultural businesses can vary from on-the-ground farm opera-tions to value added products and agritourism to services for the equestrian operations.

An effort is being made to reconnect residents and local businesses to an agricultural and economic heritage. Agriculture, including the equestrian opera-tions, is the biggest business in Polk County.

Finally, with the current trends to buy local healthy foods and encourage small businesses, agriculture can prove the base for new business development.

The business training is con-ducted in a peer group environ-ment to promote a variety of business ideas, so the feedback participants receive from one another is more comprehensive.

The eight-week business train-ing class will begin on Feb.

10, 2011. Pre-registration is required.

This project was supported by the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, USDA, Grant # 2010-49400-21817.

The Bird Box

by Simon Thompson

The Barn Owl is one of the few birds that are found through-out the world.

It is widely distributed in both tropical and temperate regions. Within this wide range the Barn Owl has had a long history of relationships with humans. In England Barn Owls are associ-ated with churchyards and in the Netherlands these valuable birds are en-couraged to nest in farms and or-chards to help keep the rodent population un-der control.

Despite this ancient connec-tion with man, the Barn Owl is declining within the United States and worldwide. Much of this is connected with the removal of dead trees, old barns and other suitable nesting sites.

However, good populations of these birds still exist in certain parts of the Carolinas. Small numbers of this highly distinctive owl are even found here in Polk County, as well as other areas of North Carolina, although their current stronghold may be the

old cotton growing areas of the state.

Barn Owls are large birds, about 15-20 inches in height and are a golden honey-brown in coloration. They have a distinc-tive heart-shaped face of white feathers and this feature has given rise to their colloquial name of monkey-faced owl. They also

have dark eyes and possess no ear tufts.

B a r n O w l nests have been found in many natural and man-made structures, such as dead

trees, barns, silos, church tow-ers, warehouses and even under bridges and in cement mixers.

In other parts of the world, Barn Owls may utilize cavities in volcanic lava tubes and wells. No nests are built and the 1-10 eggs are laid directly onto the floor of the chosen nest-site.

If conditions are favorable, many nest-sites will be used for years, and the immediate sur-rounds of the nest may become littered with the bones and other remains of prey items. Most food

Barn owls, man possess ancient connection consists of small rodents, such as voles, mice and other small mammals.

The young owls are born without feathers and are covered with patches of white down. With the food brought by the adults, these youngsters grow rapidly and leave the nest after about 10 weeks. The birds may then travel hundreds of miles from their birthplace and they disperse around the country.

Barn Owls, like all other owls and birds of prey, are protected by law, and with adequate knowl-edge and protection of their nest sites, we can be assured of their useful presence for many years to come.
