State to begin collecting vehicle taxes in 2013Commissioners discuss possibility of Polk tag officeby Leah Justice

Beginning July 2013, Polk County residents will pay their motor vehicle taxes to North Carolina, not to the Polk County

Tax Office.The future could also include

a tag office within Polk’s tax of-fice if the numbers work out.

Polk County Tax Collector Melissa Bowlin updated the Polk County Board of Commissioners on Monday, Jan. 23 regarding House Bill 1779, which will become effective July 1, 2013

and will create a combined state registration and tax collection system for motor vehicles.

Once the new bill is effective next year, taxpayers will pay their taxes and renew their tag either through a tag office or online. The state will distribute the mo-

tor vehicle tax revenues to each county, minus 1.5 percent the state will charge for the service. The state will also charge late fees, but those fees will go to the state.

State officials expect tax col-lections to increase by about 10 percent with the state-mandated system. Polk County is expected to generate an estimated $60,000 to $70,000 more in annual rev-enue if the 10-percent increase in collections is achieved, minus the 1.5 percent fee to the state.

Bowlin also said the county could have difficulty in the fu-ture collecting approximately $225,000 of unpaid motor ve-hicle taxes. Polk County can currently create blocks on the account for someone who hasn’t paid their taxes, but after the new system is implemented there will be no way to look back and see if someone owes

back taxes, according to Bow-lin.

Other concerns raised Mon-day included that Polk could lose some motor vehicle rev-enues when the state takes over collections because many Polk residents’ mai l ing ad-dresses say Henderson or R u t h e r f o r d county when the property is actually lo-cated in Polk County.

The ad -dress issue also prompted dis-cussions related to opening a local tag office. Employees at a local tag office would be less likely to mistakenly allocate tax revenues to the wrong county, Bowlin said.

“My biggest worry about this new system is we don’t have a tag office,” county manager Ryan Whitson said. “It is pos-

sible to do your own (tag office). I am worried that some of our tax revenue will go to Ruther-ford or Henderson county by mistake.”

Polk used to have a tag of-fice located in Columbus, but

the state closed it several years ago. The tag of-fice was located where Scoops ‘N More is to-day along Mills Street.

While offi-cials said a lo-cal tag office

doesn’t sound profitable, com-missioners seemed to think the service to residents could be worth the cost of including a tag office in the county-owned tax office. Whitson was charged with speaking with McDowell County officials about how they operate their own tag office and will report to commissioners next month.

Whitson said he estimates running a tag office would take two employees. He said he is a little concerned about parking on court days but doesn’t know how much traffic a tag office would create, so there are a lot of questions.

“There’s not a lot of profit but if we had our own space it would help (with costs),” Whitson said.

Bowlin said the state would provide the paper and the tags.

“All you’re doing is provid-ing a convenience to taxpayers and it would benefit us to main-tain these transactions,” said Bowlin.

Bowlin discussed the hard-ship on her office of having four employees while two employees train for the new system. Train-ing for the new system could begin next January, so Bowlin is asking for a full-time temporary employee next fiscal year, which begins July 1, in order to train the person to handle day-to-day transactions.

Polk projects schools will need $100-150k more next yearby Leah Justice

With stimulus money gone for Polk County Schools next year, school and Polk County officials are trying to estimate how much money will need to come from the county to keep all programs running.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners held a budget workshop Monday, Jan. 23 and discussed the financial outlook for the school system with Su-perintendent Bill Miller.

Miller said he and county manager Ryan Whitson have discussed that the county may need to contribute an additional $100,000 to $150,000 next fiscal year to help make up the shortfall.

That contribution would be much less than the $400,000 ad-ditional money the county gave the schools this fiscal year.

“We’re always trying to guess what’s going to happen in Ra-leigh and don’t know until June

or July,” Miller said. “Next year the crystal ball situation remains in regards to what will happen with the state. The stimulus money is all gone.”

The school system had re-ceived approximately $548,000 in stimulus money, contributions it will no longer receive.

Miller said to make up for the loss, the school system plans to take money out of fund balance, get some from the county and hopefully have leftover savings from this fiscal year.

Miller also said the schools have had a couple of resignations and are planning to save money by combining some programs and not hiring replacements. Miller said the good news is the school system has had significant saving in energy costs because of a mild winter so far.

“As much as half of that sav-ings we may not use and can roll over to next year,” said Miller.

In discussions with state rep-resentatives, Miller said it ap-pears the state is going to try to hold the line on education cuts next year and not cut any more than it did this year.

Commissioner Chair Ray Gasperson asked how much longer the school system can pull from its fund balance.

Miller responded that he’s hoping the schools won’t have to spend fund balance to oper-ate much longer. Miller said he thinks education is first on the state’s agenda to try to restore some of that funding.

“We can’t [spend fund bal-ance] indefinitely, but we could for a few more years,” Miller said.

Other school topics Monday included that the More-At-Four preschool program has been re-stored with state funding. Miller said the one preschool class at Polk Central not included this year is going to begin now and

continue until the end of the year.There has also been a change

in lottery funding allocations, which Miller said will help West-ern North Carolina. Currently, lottery funds can be spent only on capital improvements and Miller said Polk County has been sav-ing lottery funds for when major capital is needed, such as a new roof on the high school.

Polk County commissioners are beginning budget discus-sions, with Whitson scheduled to present a balanced budget to commissioners on May 7. A budget work session for com-missioners will be held on May 14 at 5 p.m., with other sessions scheduled for May 15 and May 16 if necessary.

The public hearing on the budget is scheduled for June 11, with commissioners planning to adopt the budget on June 18.

The new fiscal year begins July 1.

Davenport speaks on life as advisor with Afghan army

Lt. Col. Richard Davenport from Campobello is a security forces advisor to BG Raziq of the Afghan army. He recently spoke with Barbara Childs about his work with Raziq.

Q. What is a day with BG Raziq like?

A. Up front, he is a highly enjoyable person to be around. You truly need to approach the Afghan people and its culture as T.E. Lawrence approached the Middle East, and that is with respect. My day often consists of meetings with BG Raziq, and they are all been rewarding and memorable. Many times these meetings can last up to four or five hours. We also fly to two provincial security meetings each week.

Q. As a Muslim, does BG Raziq pray often?

A. Yes, prayer is huge in his daily life. I have been to some meetings where he excuses him-self to pray.

Q. What do you admire about

BG?A. I admire his strength. He

has been fighting battles here for more than 32 years, and he is still fighting strong. He has great faith and is optimistic in his vision for the future of Afghanistan, and he keeps a great sense of humor. He has zero tolerance for corruption, which is a weak point in Afghani-stan mainly because of prolonged war that has weakened the culture and civil-military systems.”

Q. What insights have you gained as to the future of Afghan lands, culture and traditions?

A. My perspective says that Afghan is going to be okay. BG Raziq has mentioned that he does not see his country going back to the days where the Taliban ruled with an iron fist. I think he’s right. I think the future can be like it was in the golden years – those nostalgic years of peace and pros-perity that Afghans remember and wish that the country could

get back to. It was the Cold War that got the country off the course of peaceful harmonious relations where all Afghan ethnic groups were living together Shona ba Shona (side by side) in Dair and Pashto respectively. The Soviets destroyed the infrastructure of the country and left a huge political

vacuum, which was fought over by the war lords and eventually filled by the Taliban. We and the Afghans are still trying to get back to those golden years. They will come through; it just takes time.

Q. How has the religion of the Afghan people and BG Raziq in-fluenced their life choices when it comes to the military and protect-ing their land and culture?

A. It is their faith that keeps the

Afghan people fighting for their country. I would say strongly that their religion and faith continue to be a serious factor in protecting their country.

Q. What are your goals today with your military career in the U.S. Army?

A. One of my ultimate goals is to reach the rank of LTC, which I have already accomplished. However, I would like to make

full bird colonel, and I do see that possibility for the future of my military career. I have always en-joyed command, and I would like to continue that aspect of military service. The next command oppor-tunity for me would be battalion command. This could happen after my ANA Security Forces time here in Afghanistan and my upcoming stint at the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth.

Tag office for county would be great service to taxpayers

Instead of the confusing process of renewing your tags in Henderson or Rutherford counties and paying your vehicle taxes in Polk, what if one could do all of the above in one office?

Not only could that make things incredibly more conve-nient for taxpayers, but there could be some advantages in the prospect for the county as a whole.

With the state making changes to the way vehicle taxes are collected effective July 1, 2013, Polk County has an op-portunity to look into reopening a tag office.

Now, none of the county commissioners or county man-ager Ryan Whitson seem to see any potential profit in the idea and they are likely right on that matter, but the benefit to residents could be substantial.

In fact, if it’s economically feasible, it would be a great service to residents who currently must go to Rutherford or Henderson county for any tag/title business.

With the state’s new collection service, North Carolina of-ficials expect to bring in an additional 10 percent in revenue or between $60-70,000 for Polk County. If that is the case, it would seem that money could easily cover the cost of maybe two employees for a tag office. Polk County Tax Collector Melissa Bowlin says she already feels she’ll need a full-time temporary worker to assist with the change as it is.

For the county this move could be beneficial because it would allow local employees to ensure that taxes from county residents with Henderson or Rutherford county mailing ad-dresses actually stay in Polk County. With our own tag office that would be less likely to happen because if they are coming to Polk for the tag, they probably live in Polk and local people would know the addresses better.

Letters to the Editor

UDO mistakeTo the Editor:On Jan. 17, 2012, the UDO

committee, of which I am a member, voted 9-2 to move forward with a table of uses for the Multiple Use areas of Polk County that is extremely more restricted than is currently on the books.

I voted opposed to this motion. At the present time, especially as difficult economic times continue with seemingly no end in sight, it would be, in my opinion, very unwise to greatly reduce new businesses that may locate in this large expanse of our county.

I am also a very strong supporter of Home Occupation, Class II being allowed in the Multiple Use Zoned areas of the county. I believe now is the time for Polk County to be much more home business friendly.

Currently, excluding agriculture, only 25 percent of the heated living space of a single-family residence may be used for a home-based business. This new category would greatly expand the square footage that would be permitted to accommodate new home-based businesses.

If approved by the board of commissioners, basements and garages would be allowed for

business use and, depending on the size of the families’ acreage, accessory buildings from 2,500 to 8,000-plus square feet would also

be allowed for business use.

It’s important to note, “no equipment or process shall be used in these businesses which

creates noise, vibration, glare, fumes, odors or electrical interference that is a nuisance off the lot.”

Finally, I wish to thank my fellow UDO members who have worked hard on this land use ordinance over the past several months. I also thank the large number of citizens who have attended our meetings.

I want to assure the many concerned citizens who have contacted me and live in the Multiple Use Zoned areas that I, as a member of this committee and as a member of the Polk County Board of Commissioners, will only support a table of uses for the Multiple Use zoned parts of our county that closely mirrors the current table of uses with the inclusion of Home Occupation, Class II.

As always, I welcome citizens who wish to contact me directly. My e-mail is: [email protected] or mobile phone is 828-230-1278.

“Mr. Waldbillig said. ‘If you don’t develop you die, if you don’t grow you die.’ Aw shoot, the advocates of Giantism are back. Giantism is a pathological condition in which an organism

doesn’t stop growing when it’s reached its optimum size. Continued growth beyond that is always fatal, and the more/faster the growth, the sooner it’s fatal.

What the “more growth” people really want is “more for me and to heck with you.” Guess what we need is another scalped mountain out where everyone can see it.”

Letter to the Editor

Class warfare revisited

To the Editor:A recent letter defined

“Class Warfare” as making the claim that the rich don’t bear their fair share of funding the U.S. government. In fact, the president, in calling for a surtax on those with taxable income above $1,000,000 a year stated, “This is not class warfare. It’s math.” He meant that our government needs to balance the budget and if increased revenue were to be part of that, it would have to come from the wealthiest Americans because they are the only group that can afford

to pay additional taxes.I do believe that we have

“Class Warfare” in this country and it started about 1980 when “Trickle Down Economics” was brought in. The lowered tax rates on top incomes, large tax cuts to investment i n c o m e , t h e s u b s i d i e s a n d outright giveaways to those at the top and the companies they control , combined with tax policies that reward moving capital and jobs offshore, explain the gains at the top, while the middle class and lower incomes groups have suffered.

These are not market outcomes, but government-engineered distributions of income.

Letters to the Editor

Between 1947 and 1972, the average hourly wage, adjusted for inflation, rose 76 percent. Since 1972, by contrast, the average hourly wage has risen only 4 percent.

Since 1979 the average pre- tax i ncome fo r t he bottom 90 percent of households has decreased by $900,

while the average pre-tax income of the top 1 percent increased by over $700,000. From 1992-2007 the top 400 income earners in the U.S. saw their income increase 392 percent and their average tax rate reduced by 37 percent.

Our tax system is not as progressive as you think. The top 10-percent income group does pay 48 percent of all taxes

but they have 45 percent of all income.

According to Citizens for Tax Justice, the shares of total taxes paid by each income group were similar to their shares of total income in 2010. Simply looking at federal income tax and ignoring all the other taxes we pay is disingenuous.

I don’t need to figure out which group I am in to know what side I’m on. I believe in a U.S.A. where we can wipe out poverty and create an environment where capitalism can thrive and you are rewarded for your efforts, but at the same time, we can increase wages for workers and once again we can all pursue the American Dream.

For the month of November in Polk County, the average high temperature was 65.4 degrees. The average low temperature was 44.8 degrees and the average rainfall was 6.05.

Retired engineer Fran Tatnall spoke about the Foothills Social Network to Tryon Kiwanis Club members recently. The network is a small organization formed in 2003 to provide social opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities who need a social life on the weekends. Many are employed at Polk Vocational Services Workshop. With only 10 volunteers, the network sponsors several events each year such as the Jingle Bell Hop during the Christmas holidays, the Fall Fun Fest around Halloween, bowling at Autumn Lanes in Forest City and Game Day at Harmon Field in the summer. Club member Kathy Romich (right) invited Tatnall to speak. (photo submitted by Lynn Montgomery)

The class experienced life as pioneer for the day as they followed trails through the grasslands, woods and mountains.

Their adventures included hunting, gathering, and an attack by Native Americans. The school will hold an open house Monday, Jan. 30 from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.

The Saluda Community Land Trust (SCLT), dedicated to pre-serving the natural heritage of the Saluda area, is planning numer-ous activities through the winter and into the spring.

The group’s scheduled trail walks will resume in early spring. In the meantime, members are working on blazing the trails and enhancing pathways. If you are interested in helping, call 828-749-1560 and leave a mes-sage that you would like to be contacted when workdays are scheduled.

Two new trails are open to the public now. One is the “Lazy Girl Loop,” located off Esseola Street, and “The Missing 40,” located off Pearson Falls Road. For more information about these trails please contact Chuck, 828-749-9886, or Nancy, 828-749-4661.

Kudzu work is continuing throughout the winter. You may have noticed areas where kudzu has been drastically removed. Removing the underbrush before the growth season starts prevents the plant from having anything to climb on when it starts growing. Kudzu is such a fast-growing plant that you need to be a step in front of the growth to prevent

being overwhelmed later in the season, SCLT officials said. They said there is never a time not to work on kudzu removal.

SCLT, in partnership with the City of Saluda and the Saluda Dog Society, has opened a dog park located on Chestnut Street where your dog can run free and socialize. The dog park is open to all. If you need more informa-tion, contact Dave Prudhomme at 828-749-9172.

SCLT is an all-volunteer orga-nization. You can volunteer on a specific project anytime without a long-term commitment. The group is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, so any donations are tax deductible.

“We are so appreciative of the many volunteers, members and those who donated money this past year,” SCLT officials said. “We are very grateful to the Polk County Community Foundation for their support in our local projects.”

For more information, call 828-749-1560 and leave a mes-sage. You can also visit the group’s updated website, www.saludaclt.org.

The Polk County Extension Center, in cooperation with Holbert’s Bee Supplies, will offer a series of five classes on beginning beekeeping. Phil Holbert, beekeeper for 25 years, will teach the classes.

“Our staff has been very concerned about the decline of our native honeybee population,” said John Vining, Polk County Extension Director. “We want to encourage gardeners and others interested in trying beekeeping as a hobby to consider these classes.”

The classes, which will be limited to 12 participants, will

be held on five consecutive Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., beginning on Thursday, Feb. 16. There will be a small registration fee.

The course will cover the basics of bee care from starting a new hive to maintaining and caring for a mature hive of bees.

Anyone interested in enrolling should contact the extension center at 828-894-8218. In 2011 the class was full in less than a week.

For more information, contact the Polk County Extension Center at 828-894-8218.

Landrum High School Boys Cross Country Coach Jeremy Darby has been selected to receive the 2011 Coach of the Year award at the state level. The National Federation of State High School Coaches Association chose Coach Darby for the honor.

The NFHS recognizes coaches at the state, sectional and national level. Darby was the 2011 Spar-tanburg Herald Coach of the Year and the South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association Boys Cross Country Coach of the Year.

“I am very honored to be the re-cipient of this prestigious award. I believe this award should be

directly attributed to the cross country teams at Landrum High School,” Darby said. “In my four years at Landrum, I have been a part of four state champion-ship cross country teams along with four region championship teams and four state runner-up teams. Our teams like to brag that they have never returned from the state meet without a trophy, which is true. None of this would have been possible without their hard work and dedication to the sport of cross country. I am very proud to serve the hard-working athletes at Landrum High School, as well as the high-achieving students of

Spartanburg School District One.”Landrum High School Prin-

cipal Brian Sherman said Darby made it possible for LHS to boast two of the most successful cross country teams in the state – boys and girls.

“The strength, hard work, and dedication by our athletes and our coaches are second to none,” Sherman said. “I am so proud of Coach Darby and all that he has accomplished. I look forward to the success and growth that I know will continue for the cross country program under his leadership.”

One subject many players have difficulty with is what to do when the opponents make a 4 level preempt.

Some players have an agreement with their partner that a double of any natural bid through four Spades is for takeout. But quite often they don’t know what to do if instead of doubling, partner bids 4 No-Trump. A 4 NT bid has a specialized meaning that comes in handy holding certain hands as described below:

Over four Spades, it shows a 2-suiter. Since responder does not know what the 2 suits are he starts by choosing between the two while giving preference to Clubs with equal preference.

If the 4 NT bidder now responds Diamonds over the Club bid and you don’t like that suit you can correct to Hearts, partner’s other suit.

A typical hand for this bid over 4 Spades could be as little as:5 QJ9875 A KJ1092

Over a 4 Heart preempt, it indicates holding both minor suits.Over a 4 Club or 4 Diamond preempt, any new suit bid is natural

(to play) and so is 4 NT. A typical 4 NT bid could be:

AQ KJ5 KQJ1096 AK

Take this short quiz to see what you would do over an opponent’s 4 Spade preemptive opening with the following holdings:

1) 5 A1095 K987 AJ85

2) A52 AQ5 K96 KJ109

Answers:You should Pass with both hands. Hand #1 has the shape for

a double but there’s not much body to the suits. Yes, maybe you can make something at the 5 level but you’re very likely to end up at the 6 level as partner will play you for more strength. Hand #2 looks strong enough to bid but the shape and values are primarily defensive.

Please note that some partnerships elect to double with these kind of hands for penalties and forego the 2-suit takeout. You may opt for this agreement but it is a little more limiting in that you may sometimes want to sacrifice or compete against 4 Spades and the 2-suiter takeout bid allows you to do either one.

When local potter Jim Cor-

nell proposed a unique fund raiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters, the organization jumped at the chance.

For this art project, Cor-nell designed a 3-D ceramic “puffed” heart form. The blank hearts are about 6-8” and can hang on the wall. Potter Doug Dacey helped Cornell produce the unadorned hearts to be distributed to area artists for embellishment.

Artists were free to use their own approach and medium, such as glaze, paint, fiber or choice of materials, to create a work of “heArt” in, on or around the piece. Some went as far as to create a heart of different materials entirely. The idea was to have fun with this project.

Kathleen Carson at Kath-leen’s Gallery in Tryon served as “heart central” to distribute

and then collect the finish piec-es. Some of the artists contribut-ing include Dale McEntire (who is also a Big Brother), Bonnie Bardos, Kathleen Carson, Patri-cia Cole-Ferullo, Jim Cornell, Bill Crowell, Jim Cullen, Doug Dacey, Dom Ferullo, Carol Beth Icard, Marie King, Mike Mc-Carthy and Alex Trumble.

The HeArts will be displayed in the front window of the Upstairs Artspace in Tryon for the opening of its first show of 2012.

The show features the Fine Art Ramblers, a group of six Upstate artists who will also perform in their post-modern string band during the opening reception, from 5-8 p.m. on Jan. 27. In addition, The In-novative Camera will exhibit work by Colby Caldwell, Diane Hopkins-Hughs, Owen Riley and Rebecca Stockham.

A minimum price for HeArts

will be set and the pieces will be available for silent auc-tion bidding during the public reception and regular gallery hours through Valentine’s Day.

The gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) will “sing the blues” Saturday, Jan. 28 with the inaugural event of what is planned to be a yearly concert called “Chase Away the Blues.”

Eight separate acts will per-form Saturday, creating a “Club TFAC” atmosphere. Music will run nonstop from the time the doors open at 4 p.m. to the last note of the jam session at around 10:30 p.m.

Seating for the event is general admission, with two tiers of ticket prices available. The basic ticket price provides access to the music all night long.

The VIP ticket provides pre-

ferred seating in the auditorium and food and beverages free of charge in the private “VIP lounge” located in Gallery I. Proceeds from tickets and a portion of food sales will benefit TFAC’s arts in education programming.

Music sets 45 minutes long will be in two locations: an in-formal “piano bar” atmosphere in the lobby and on stage in the auditorium.

Patrons will be free to come and go throughout the evening and bring beverages into the theater. The evening will culminate in a jam on the main stage.

Tickets are on sale at the Tryon Fine Arts Center Box office Tues-day – Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. VIP tickets will be sold only through Friday, Jan. 27 at 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.tryonarts.org or call 828-859-8322.

Twice-told Tales of the Dark Corner

by Dean Campbell

The Gowensville Seminary was not the only private school in the Dark Corner. Another was known as Shankle’s School, superintended by Mrs. Eva J. Shankle.

It first operated in the old Calmes home, a large, two-story building at the intersection of S.C. 11 and S.C. 14 in Gowens-ville. Later, it was moved approx-imately two miles west on Highway 11, to a 100-acre site, which was across the road from Squirrel Mountain (to-day’s Look Away Farm with its 21st Century Klickety Klack Covered Bridge).

The site had two large build-ings — a white, two-story house and a three-story building with long porches on the first and second floors. The larger build-ing housed classrooms, a small auditorium, an office and a sitting room. Plays, entertainment and religious services were held in the auditorium, and the top two floors were used as a dormitory for boys.

The smaller building was located about 50 yards from the main building. The first floor had a large parlor, kitchen, dining room, private rooms for Mrs. Shankle and other female teach-

Shankle’s ... Dark Corner’s second private schoolers, plus two rooms for teaching music and other subjects. The second floor was used as a dormi-tory for girls.

The devout Christian atmo-sphere and the musical program offered by the private school were strong incentives for parents of farm families in the commu-nity and nearby towns to send their children to the school.

S t u d e n t s were g iven f ree books , and children of local poor families were f u r n i s h e d s h o e s a n d

clothing, if needed.In actuality, Willard Industrial

School was the proper name, even though everyone referred to it as “Mrs. Shankle’s.” The 100-acre operation was a demon-stration farm where male students were taught intelligent agricul-ture as they produced cotton and other farm products for school use and for sale.

Ira W. Williams of the United States farm demonstration work in South Carolina made a per-sonal inspection of the school and recommended the state give assistance to the demonstration farm.

At a National Conference of Charities and Corrections meet-ing in St. Louis, Mrs. Shankle

gave a complete report on the school’s operation.

A local reporter wrote a “re-view” of her presentation, liber-ally sprinkling it with typical vignettes of backwoods and “hillbilly” incidents of dodging bullets as she traveled the road to and from the school, rather than presenting items of substance from her report.

The reporter and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch were brought to task by the General Secretary of the National Conference. He stated: “I cannot imagine a less accurate account of the report given by Mrs. Shankle,” and proceeded to have the conference stenographer furnish a complete and accurate copy of her presen-tation to them.

Even Ira W. Williams de-fended the school and the Dark Corner people from the highly inaccurate descriptions laid out in the reporter’s “review,” pointing out that educational endeavors such as that of Mrs. Shankle and numerous churches had brought the light of truth to long-standing inaccuracies about the Dark Cor-ner people.

Conditions brought about by World War I forced the school to close for the 1917-1918 school year. It resumed operation fol-lowing the end of the war until August 1920, when all the build-ings were destroyed by fire.

The Second Wind Hall of Fame is an organization that gives recognition to retirees who have done outstanding volunteer work in organizations in the Thermal Belt community.

These honorees have a taken on a “second wind” of opportu-nity to serve mankind.

The organization also raises funds to provide scholarships for adults in the community who are seeking additional education or training in their

current career, or in a new career. Called “Catch a Sec-ond Wind” scholarships, they provide needed funds for an adult who:

• is at least a high school graduate

• has exemplary personal qualities, is a good citizen and is “deserving” and industrious

• is already in the workplace (or has been) and has demon-strated a good work ethic

• can demonstrate material

benefit to be gained by addi-tional training

• plans to attend an accred-ited public or private college, university, community college or a recognized technical or vocational institution.

If interested, you may re-quest an application by writing to SWHF Scholarship Commit-tee, P.O. Box 711, Tryon, N.C. 28782.

Rotarian Carol Browning leads a reading session at Polk Central Elementary School. Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) is the nation’s largest nonprofit children’s literacy organization and has a goal to prepare and motivate children to read at an early age. The Rotary Club of Tryon adopted RIF as one its service projects, led by committee chairs Bill Jones and Carolyn Jones. Over the past eight years, Rotarians have visited Polk Central Elementary three times each year to conduct reading sessions with students. Following each session the students select a book to keep. RIF is one of several youth programs sponsored by the Rotary Club of Tryon that promote education and leadership. (photo submitted by Bill Hillhouse)
