Judge finds probable cause to charge McGraw with murderby Leah Justice

Polk County District Court Judge Athena Brooks found probable cause to charge Travis McGraw with first-degree murder of his wife, Vanessa Mintz.

McGraw, 44, of Hen-dersonville was arrested on Feb. 23 and charged with first-degree murder.

A probable cause hearing was held Wednesday, March 9 at the Polk County Courthouse, with the

state presenting evidence from the Saluda Mountain Lodge, McGraw’s home and vehicle.

Polk County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Chuck Hitch testified that Mintz was found in the living quarters of the Saluda Mountain Lodge on Feb. 19 at 9:45

a.m. Mintz’ family owns the lodge, which was undergoing renovations at the time.

Landrum Road was closed Wednesday, March 9 because of flooding at the bridge over the Pacolet River. The area was under a flood watch through Thursday afternoon, as runoff from heavy rains swelled streams and r ivers. Rain began Tuesday night, continued through Wednesday and was expected to continue into Thursday. The heavy rainfall, in conjunction with wet soils from last weekend’s rain, could contribute to isolated mudslides on unstable slopes, according to the National Weather Service. Officials with Polk County Emergency Management Services said no flooding had been reported in Polk County as of midday Wednesday, March 9. They said they were monitoring the situation closely, checking the levels of area waterways. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

The Polk County Wellness Coalition, a broad-based com-munity partnership working to improve the health and quality of life for people in the Polk County area, met Thursday, Feb. 24.

The group, which recently lost some of its funding and as a result no longer has a paid coordinator, discussed plans for restructuring the organization.

Members of the coalition will provide a slate of board member nominations. The members will approve the 15-20 board meme-bers at the next wellness coalition meeting, scheduled for Thursday,

March 24 at noon at the Polk County Public Library.

The coalition also discussed general goals and needs, includ-ing the need to explore ways of finding additional financial sup-port for the coalition.

The Access to Care Action Team of the wellness coalition reported that it is working to get a Farm Bureau van to help uninsured residents travel to and from the Saluda Medical Center in May. The center has the capac-ity to see 200 people in one day. The center is now accepting new uninsured patients.

Hitch testified that Mintz was lying on her back with injuries to her right arm and a gunshot wound to the head in the facial area. Hitch also said that a shotgun shell was lying at the scene.

Hitch said he accompanied McGraw to his home the day Mintz was found and retrieved six firearms from Mintz’ house, including four 12-gauge shotguns. At least one of the shotguns has been sent to the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) for testing.

A spent shotgun shell was collected at the scene, as well as two unfired shotgun shells from McGraw’s car and other shotgun shells from McGraw’s car, ac-cording to Hitch’s testimony.

D e f e n s e a t t o r n e y R o n Blanchard questioned Hitch about how secure the scene was at the lodge. When Blanchard asked Hitch if he remembered anyone saying they were in charge of the scene, Hitch responded, “No.”

Blanchard also asked if fin-gerprints were taken and Hitch

responded that the SBI checked for fingerprints.

Blanchard told Judge Brooks this was probably the weakest probable cause hearing he has ever seen. He said there is no motive, no fingerprints and it is not known if the crime scene was secure.

Assistant District Attorney Beth Dierauf, however, said there was direct evidence that tied McGraw to the scene with the comparison of firearms and what was found at the scene.

Judge Brooks ruled there was probable cause to charge McGraw with first-degree murder.

McGraw’s case will be heard next by a grand jury for indictment in Polk County Superior Court. A court date has not yet been set.

McGraw is being held on no bond at the N.C. Department of Corrections in Raleigh.

Mintz, who was 53 at the time of her murder, was a realtor in Hendersonville. She and McGraw were married in February 2009. McGraw, a former police officer, resigned from the Fletcher Police Department in 2010.

TDDA holds public planning session, identifies priorities

The Tryon Downtown De-velopment Association (TDDA) recently sponsored a planning session for downtown projects. The day-long session was open to the public and was attended by approximately 20 people, includ-ing Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples.

This conference was meant to continue the work that was begun when the N.C. Main Street Program staff was here. TDDA follows the Main Street four-point approach for con-tinued revitalization of Tryon’s downtown area.

TDDA board members led the discussion of the four Main Street points of action: design, promotion, organization and eco-nomic development. Participants made suggestions for priorities and projects that can be accom-plished in the near future.

At the conclusion of the day, each of the four areas identified several priority projects to ac-complish.Design

Discussions in the design area, led by John Walters, estab-lished the following priorities:

• Study the location and ac-quisition of sidewalk and/or wall plaques to highlight historic buildings and structures on walk-ing tour.

• Re-examine the flower bas-ket proposal for downtown street poles.

• Conduct a design charette for the block defined by Maple, Palmer, Trade and East Howard.

• Begin work on the recon-figuration of the Trade/New Market intersection as per the Streetscape master plan.Promotion

Wanda K. May led the dis-cussions in the promotion area,

which resulted in the following priorities:

• Promote TDDA more ef-fectively, educate public on revitalization strategies, espe-cially through our website, www.downtowntryon.org.

• Promote businesses with merchant-driven promotions coordinated by the business roundtable group led by Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree

• Develop short-term bro-chures seasonally for dining and accommodations.

• Promote Tryon and its en-virons by maintaining liaison with Tryon Travel & Tourism Authority.

• Develop separate com-mittees for each TDDA event (strolls, April Fool’s festival).

• Coordinate/participate with other organizations in producing major events.Organization

Crys Armbrust led the group in discussions on organizational issues, which defined the follow-ing priorities:

• Focus on membership re-cruitment and retention.

• Reinstitute monthly TDDA Morning Coffee downtown.

• Emphasize board develop-ment and nominations committee work.Economic development

Economic development dis-cussions, led by Karen Jones, defined the following priorities:

• Prepare final report on Rural Center Grant.

• Develop a business recruit-ment packet.

• Update the inventory of downtown properties.

• Develop target business cluster list for recruiting new businesses.

Tryon Arts and Crafts School will host a one-day workshop with instructor Charlotte Caugh-man designed to teach the basics of wire-wrap jewelry.

The beginning wire wrap workshop will be held on Satur-day, March 19 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. at the craft school located on Harmon Field Road. This class is designed to teach students the fundamental principles of wire art.

Students will learn the basic techniques utilized in bending, twisting and shaping wire to make jewelry pieces. They will also be introduced to the neces-sary equipment for wire wrap including basic hand tools, pliers and different wires.

Students will learn finishing techniques such as filing, tum-bling and cleaning wire, applying textures and will learn to under-stand and utilize stone hardness as they fabricate at least three jewelry pieces.

These basic techniques and designs will be an essential foundation in many aspects of their future jewelry making. All materials are furnished by the in-structor and costs to students will vary by projects completed. All tools are supplied, but students may bring their own if desired.

“So many stones, so much metal, so many natural ele-ments, so many possibilities - are thoughts that stir my creative juices and drive my inspirations,” says instructor Charlotte Caugh-

Polk baseball takes first loss of season, 6-3, to E. Rutherfordby Daniel Hecht

Coming into the match-up Tuesday night, March 8, Polk County baseball coach Ty Stott knew his team would have their hands full. His Wolverine squad was preparing to host East Ruther-ford High, the defending 2A state champions.

The Cavaliers had not lost a game in their last 21 outings, including their final 17 games of the 2010 season, and four wins this year at the Baseball at the Beach tournament. The Cavaliers have won five of the last nine 2A state championships.

After the Cavaliers jumped ahead by three runs in the top of the second inning, it looked like the Wolverines were in for a rough ride. But with Tyler Philpott lining up the middle and being

driven home by his brother Alec in the bottom of the second, and Andre Overholt singling and scoring in the bottom of the third, Polk County was right back in the game, down by just one run after three innings.

However, Polk’s chances for a comeback evaporated in the fifth as the Cavaliers came storming back to put three more runs on the scoreboard and the game out of reach for good.

Overholt wound up the night as Polk’s standout, with a 3 for 4 outing that included a double to the gap in left center to lead off the fifth inning, and some excellent defensive play as well.

Although the Wolverine pitch-ing trio of Dakota Turner, Alec Philpott and Roberto Taft com-bined to hold the Cavaliers to just

four hits on the night, Polk’s chances for a win were undone by four errors.

“I’m proud to say we don’t miss the cut-off man very often,” Stott said, referring to the source of several of Polk’s errors. “But we weren’t hitting the cutoff man tonight.”

“We love tough non-conference games,” commented Stott. “It’s a great way to evalu-ate and see what you need to work on the most. After tonight, what we need to work on most is our intensity.”

The Wolverines host a tough Murphy Bulldogs squad on Thurs-

day, March 10. Coach Lance Bristol’s team, 23-1 last year, blanked Hayesville by a score of 6-0 Tuesday evening.

Lady Wolverine softball hands Asheville second straight loss, 5-1by Daniel Hecht

In what turned out to be a virtual repeat performance of last Thurs-day’s visit to Asheville, the Lady Wolverines defeated the Lady Cou-gars for the second time in as many games, this time at home by a score of 5-1 Tuesday afternoon, March 8.

Polk ace Jamie Hrobak continued her dominance of opposing batters, allowing just one hit in seven innings of work while notching her third victory of the season. Hrobak struck out 12 Asheville batters, bringing her season strikeout total to 40, an average of more than 13 strikeouts per game. The win gave the junior pitcher her 32nd career victory.

While Chandler Erin, Ashe-ville’s 14-year-old freshman pitcher, managed to limit the middle of the Wolverine lineup to just one hit, the slack was picked up nicely by the top and bottom of Polk’s bat-ting order.

Amber Lynch, batting in the number two spot, used her impres-

sive speed to leg out two bunts and an infield hit, going 3 for 4 with an RBI and one run scored. Shea Wheeler went 2 for 3 from the number seven spot, including a line drive single to center in the fourth inning that scored a run and a booming double that split the gap in left center in the bottom of the fifth, bringing home two more runs for a 3 RBI performance. Yancey Pace went 2 for 3 from the number 9 spot and scored a run as well.

Lynch’s performance at the plate (she is now 5 for 7 with three runs scored in the last two games) epitomizes what Coach Jeff Wilson refers to as his “small ball team.”

“It’s good to find ways to win,” Wilson added, but noted, “We just need a few more hits.”

After this game, it’s doubtful Asheville would agree with Wil-son’s assessment.

The Lady Wolverines were scheduled to visit North Henderson Wednesday, March 9, but weather probably canceled that game.

Letter to the Editor

Protect tourism interests for better future of county

To the Editor: I am a Polk County property

owner, and interact with Polk County Travel & Tourism, as the landlord of a seasonal rental house. I encourage their efforts to remain as an independent group, separate from the cham-ber of commerce.

In Aiken, S.C., the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce operated a tourism initiative for a time, but realizing inevitable conflict of interests, the chamber stepped away from Tourism.

Now, Aiken County as well as the cities of Aiken and N. Augusta, each has their own tourism department.

Perhaps even more impor-tantly, it is possible, and not unlikely, for a local chamber of commerce, in response to na-tional business trends and U.S. Chamber of Commerce direc-tives, to lose sight of delicate local issues, which should guide in the protection of an area such as Polk County.

Polk County’s unique, un-spoiled countryside, and quaint villages continue to draw prop-erty owners such as my own family, who continues in the fifth generation to invest and spend time in the Saluda area, as well as repeat “visitors” who appreciate the charm of the area.

Depending on “tourism” dol-lars leaves any area vulnerable to over development, and without stakeholder representation, it is too easy to lose the goose that laid golden egg.

As a Polk County property owner, who would not be in-clined to join the chamber of commerce, I appreciate having Polk County Travel & Tourism at the helm.

I believe their effort toward “eco-tourism,” is the safest way to draw the right visitors to Polk County.

–– Jenne Stoker


Increased security as commission

To the Editor: Questions concerning the

Polk Country commissioner’s security detail.

Just a metal detector and TWO officers?

No police dog? Is that enough to allow

you to feel secure? If my pocket knife sets off

the metal detector will they take

me into custody? How about a nail clipper? If I’m carrying a bottle of

water with more than 3-ounce of liquid will I have pour it out?

Must I remove my shoes? Should I be prepared for a

friendly TSA-type pat down? Who decides when a citi-

zen’s comment or voice level is threatening and requires police action?

If you are afraid of the peo-ple you were elected to serve why did you run for office in the first place?

–– Fred Class

Carolina Camera Club meets Jan. 11The next meeting of the Caro-

lina Camera Club will be on Tuesday, Jan. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Isothermal Community Col-lege in Columbus.

Join the club for a presentation titled “Digital After Dark” pre-sented by Kevin Adams. Adams has been teaching and leading photo tours in North Carolina since the early 1990s and has produced several books that have become valuable tools to many local photographers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Today’s digital cameras give us the ability to make images that we could not have dreamed of back in the film days. Nowhere is this truer than with night pho-

tography. Now we can literally shoot for the stars.

For those who associate night photography only with subjects like fireworks, cityscapes, and street scenes, you’re in for a surprise. In this eye-opening presentation, Kevin will share his techniques for photographing a variety of nighttime subjects, from the ordinary to the “Wow, I never would have thought of that!”

Attendees are advised to use caution before attending this presentation, however. Once you see all the exciting things you can do with your camera at night, you might be losing a lot of sleep from then on.

Registration is now open for “CPR Saturday,” a special one-day event scheduled for Satur-day, March 12 on which the Red Cross will offer free CPR train-ing to Western North Carolina residents. Mission Hospitals is this year’s regional sponsor of the event.

Courses will be offered at 17 locations throughout WNC and the Red Cross anticipates train-ing more than 600 individuals in life-saving skills on that day. Pre-registration is required.

In Polk County, the free class will be held at 231 Ward Street in Columbus. Adult CPR will be taught. Call 828-894-2700 to register.

In addition to traditional CPR, which involves both chest com-pressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing techniques, this year the Red Cross will teach “Citi-

zens CPR” (compression only) at some locations. Recent studies have reported that in many cases compression only CPR can be as effective as traditional CPR in saving a life.

“CPR Saturday is a valuable service to the community,” said Patrick Fitzsimmons, Red Cross regional CEO. “On this one day each year, WNC residents can become certified in CPR skills at no cost.

“This year is the 100th anni-versary of the Red Cross in WNC and the group hopes to make this our biggest CPR Saturday ever.”

Adult CPR classes will be held from 9 a.m. – noon and the citizens CPR classes will be held from 1 – 2 p.m. To register you can send an email to [email protected] or call 828-894-2700.

Life Outside

Four Wallsby Rob

McComas

Outdoor destination: The NarrowsThe “Narrows” are something

you have probably heard of if you have lived in this area very long, but you might be hard pressed to find it on a map.

A section of the Green River that’s located in about as remote of a location as you can get in Polk County, the Narrows is a unique natural feature that funnels the entire river into a narrow cut about 5-6 ft. wide, and that’s no fishing tale.

To me there is much more to the area than the actual Narrows, the remote location has several small waterfalls, seclusion, and rocks that rival or surpass any-thing that’s in the Rocky Broad River near Chimney Rock.

The walk in itself is interest-ing, Pulloms Creek runs near the trail for most of the hike, and the sound of several falls and runs on the creek has a tendency to draw you away from your destination to inves-tigate.

If you choose to slow down your pace enough where you can look up instead of down at the trail, you can see some of God’s handiwork. You can still see a few Eastern Hem-lock trees in the shady “hollers” along the way. And when you find shade and Hemlocks, Rhododen-drons are sure to be close.

Well known to kayakers as a must or must not section to pad-dle, its hard for me, a fisherman, to think people go thru that area in a kayak. With names like Rapid Transit, Gorilla, Speed Trap and Prayer Zone, it doesn’t take much of an imagination to realize this is

a unique section of river. This section of the river is des-

ignated as Wild Trout Waters. Its known for a few big Brown Trout that work their way up from the stocked waters below and make

the area home. There is some bad

news though and that’s the trail in. Although the trail is a moder-ate walk for the first 30 minutes, it takes a drastic turn from there. Once you get to where you can see

the river, a trail cuts off sharply to the right and is extremely steep. There are ropes that you will need to use to make your way down and back up.

This section of the trail is very difficult and not for anyone who is not in very good shape. Trust me, the rescuers who would have to carry you back up will appreciate you not trying to go down this part of the trail if you are not capable.

That being said, if you are up for it, the Narrows are a good destination to spend a day at.

To get there, from Columbus take interstate 26 West to Upward Rd. in Hendersonville, exit to the right onto Upward Rd. and travel to Big Hungry Rd. and turn right. Stay on Big Hungry Rd, it forks twice, and when you come back to the Polk County line travel 8/10 of a mile past the line and there will be a small pull off on the right.

When you stop at the pull off you can see a small foot bridge crossing a small creek. Just on the other side of the bridge is a sign that says Pulloms Creek Trail. The best G.P.S. coordinates for the parking lot I could get were N 35 Deg 17.465’ W82 deg 19.725’.

Bad opinion of chamber lingers

To the Editor: Neither my wife nor I are mem-

bers of the Polk Co. Chamber of commerce. My initial contact with the Polk Chamber: After acquiring The Oaks Bed and Breakfast five years ago I went out on a quest to deliver our brochures.

Of course I stopped by the Cham-ber of Commerce offices, after all, this is an organization established to promote local commerce. Or so I thought. The volunteer accepted my materials and I was on my way...only to return home to a telephone message from the Chamber office told me because I was not a member, they would not display my materials and that I could come and pick them up, or they would throw them away.

This experience has without a doubt left me with a lingering bad opinion of our local Chamber.

I can’t believe they’re intent to promote local commerce, particularly area inns, has changed -- only thing is now Ryan Whitson is dangling a $66,000 carrot in front of their greedy little faces. Should we think they would say no? I’m just not convinced that they – the County Commission-ers and the Chamber – have our best interest at hand.
