The robbery occurred around 10 a.m. Tuesday when the sus-pect entered the pharmacy wear-ing a ski mask and claiming to have a gun in his pocket, accord-ing to Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield.

After a search during the morning and afternoon hours, officers captured the suspect. Beddingfield said he escaped in a vehicle, was located and captured on foot. No details on

the identity of the suspect were released by press time yesterday. The suspect was in custody at the hospital Tuesday afternoon after allegedly ingesting medi-cation.

The suspect was described as approximately 6 feet tall with brown, curly hair beneath a ski mask, wearing blue jeans and a brown shirt, according to initial reports. The suspect escaped with a “substantial amount of prescription medication,” Bed-dingfield said. No money was taken and no one was harmed during the robbery. A gun was never shown, according to re-ports.

Officers swarmed the phar-macy after a panic button was activated and a store employee called 911. The suspect fled toward the credit union, lo-cated next door to the pharmacy. Video surveillance was gathered

from a nearby business to help officers determine a description of a vehicle used in the escape.

Beddingfield said the suc-cessful capture of the suspect is the result of cooperation between law enforcement agencies.

through the grant. The salary is $35,000 annually

and including benefits will total $48,809. The total grant amount for the first year is estimated at $89,585.

Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill told com-m i s s i o n e r s al though the officer will be called a traffic enforcer, there’s a lot more to the program.

“When I say traffic,” Hill said, “it’s not for speeding tickets. Part of the requirements are for educa-tional programs at the schools.”

The grant requires the sheriff’s office to provide educational programs at the schools, particu-larly at Polk County High School regarding texting and driving and drinking and driving, especially around prom and graduation.

Hill said this is the first year Polk County was awarded the grant. The county was eligible, he said, because of points it re-ceived from participating in the

N.C. Governor’s Highway Safety program, which includes vehicle checkpoints.

The county and Columbus Police Department recently con-ducted a checkpoint in Colum-bus, where the Columbus Police discovered $159,000 in cash that

was determined t o b e d r u g money. Local law enforce-ment receives 80 percent of seizure money from the state, which is how county officials are hoping the

new traffic enforcer will be paid for in years to come.

Other goals in the grant in-clude reducing traffic accidents by 10 percent and conducting monthly driving-while-impaired and seatbelt checkpoints.

The grant will be effective Oct. 1, when the sheriff’s office will be able to proceed with hiring a new officer and purchasing a vehicle and equipment.

During the Columbus Town Council meeting on Thursday, Aug. 18, the town will consider accepting the same grant.

Forbes leaves enduring legacy in Thermal Beltby Barbara Tilly

The Thermal Belt lost a major contributor to local educational and community organizations with the death of Margaret Louise Forbes on Aug. 12, but her legacy will live on.

It will live on in all the chil-dren who begin their educational experiences at Forbes Preschool, in every student who receives scholarship help for college through Forbes’ foundation and in the area’s teachers and school administrators who continue to benefit from Forbes’ many efforts

in support of education.“Forbes’ vision and contribu-

tion to Polk Schools was im-measurable,” said Polk Schools Superintendent Bill Miller. “Her commitment to quality early childhood education resulted in Polk having preschools in every school in this system long before anyone else was even talking about the importance of preschool.”

County for more than 40 years. She was born on May 9, 1915 in Flint, Mich., and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1938, the same year she married her high school sweetheart, Stuart Forbes.

The couple retired to Polk County in the 1970s, and Mar-garet became active in the St. Luke’s Hospital Auxiliary, the Green Blades Garden Club, the Congregational Church in Tryon and Jackson’s Grove Methodist Church.

Following Stuart’s death in 1985 after a battle with cancer, Margaret founded the Stuart and Margaret L. Forbes Scholarship Program at the Polk County Community Foundation. She became increasingly interested in enriching children’s lives and the quality of their education. In 1995, she purchased and donated the Duke Power building in Try-on to the school system to create

the Forbes Preschool Center, a full-day preschool for four-year-olds at little or no cost to parents. The school served as an impetus for establishing preschool pro-grams at every elementary school in North Carolina.

At the dedi-cation of the F o r b e s P r e -school, Gov-e rno r J ames B. Hunt said, “Mrs. Forbes h a s m a d e a w o n d e r f u l c o m m i t m e n t to children. We should commit ourselves as a people to help every child start school healthy and ready to learn.”

In June 2010, the first students to enroll at the Forbes Preschool Center graduated from Polk County High School. Former stu-dent Mae Wolfe said, “The Forbes Education Center is a wonderful

way to invest in the future. We all, as citizens of Polk County, benefit from the far-reaching effects.”

Elizabeth Nager, president and CEO of the Polk County Com-munity Foundation, has personal memories of Forbes.

“Margare t Louise Forbes loved children,” she said. “I re-member meet-ing Margaret years ago when my son Bryson attended Forbes Preschool. She loved visiting the ch i ldren who welcomed her with hugs because of her

obvious enjoyment of them and because she did not tower over them like most adults.”

The next milestone in Forbes’ quest to improve educational op-portunities for area youth came in 1998, when she formed the Stuart and Margaret L. Forbes Founda-

tion, which has distributed more than $400,000 in scholarships to high school students and grants to local organizations. Organiza-tions that have received grants include area libraries, Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, the Polk County Courthouse Restoration Committee, St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation, Thermal Belt Out-reach Ministry, the Polk County Rescue Squad and Girl Scouts Troop 833, to name a few.

“We, as individuals, have only to look at the stellar example of generosity set by Margaret Forbes to learn an important life lesson about selfless giving,” said Jim Boyle, current president of the Forbes foundation. “Margaret did not seek recognition for her gift-ing, she simply wanted to do her part in making the lives of others better – to make a difference – and in this she excelled.”

Administered through the Polk County Community Foundation, the Forbes foundation has also

made significant contributions at the elementary and middle school levels through partnerships with the school system. The foun-dation worked with the school administration to offer the SOS after school program and to obtain the QZAB grant that allowed for renovations at Tryon Elemen-tary School.

“ M a r g a -r e t s p a r k l e d w i t h e x c i t e -ment when she learned about the bright young adults helped by the Stuart and M a rg a r e t L . Forbes Scholar-ship Program at the Polk Coun-ty Community Foundat ion ,” N a g e r s a i d . “She was always interested in who had received the initial award and who had qualified to renew the scholarship. She took great pleasure in helping students of all ages succeed.”

In support of teachers, Forbes also endowed a scholarship fund at the N.C. Center for the Advance-ment of Teaching, which provides an annual week of training for the Polk County teacher of the year.

Forbes received numerous honors in recognition of her ser-vice to the community. In 2003, N.C. Governor Michael F. Easley

• Forbes(Continued from page 6)

presented her with the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, among North Carolina’s most prestigious awards, which recognizes “special confidence in the integrity, learn-ing, and zeal” of its recipients, which have included Maya Ange-lou, Billy Graham, Michael Jordan and Charles Kuralt.

In 2007, the Polk County Board of Education honored Mar-garet with the Stewards of Ed-ucation Award, r e c o g n i z i n g her as a “truly s taunch sup-porter of qual-ity learning op-portunities for young people in the Polk County Schools.”

Miller said Forbes’ support was important to Polk Schools in more ways than just financial.

“Margaret gave all of us in Polk Schools an uplifting example and the message that what we’re doing is important. She had no children in the local school sys-tem but still placed such a high value on education that she gave enormous amounts of time and money to support it. Her belief in our mission was an inspiration to all of us.”

A memorial service for Forbes will be held Friday, Aug. 19 at 11 a.m. in the Congregational Church on Melrose Avenue in Tryon.

“Forbes’ vision and contribution to Polk Schools was immeasurable. Her commitment to quality early childhood education resulted in Polk having preschools in every school in this system long before anyone else was even talking about the importance of preschool.”

Progress without detriment to environment, resources

While development of property can offer positive dividends for communities, it can also mean great detriment to the natural resources of an area if not handled in a controlled manner.

Saluda’s board of commissioners and planning and zoning board have worked to draft an amendment to the city’s current ordinances that would place limits on projects that might cause increased sedimentation and soil erosion.

In the past, the city has not mandated that individuals de-veloping property follow any specified standards regarding the control of erosion. These new amendments, according to some commissioners, don’t even spell out the requirements as strictly as they’d like. However, putting rules in place in general pro-hibits more damage from being done while leaders iron out the details of a more comprehensive plan for erosion control.

Some people might be frustrated by having to consult with officials before moving large amounts of land on their own property, but remember that in many cases what you do on your property can have an effect on properties around you.

Saluda residents can voice their opinions on the matter through a public hearing set for Sept. 12 at 7 p.m.

Letters to the Editor

Work with business, don’t demonize it

To the Editor: I would like to comment on the

Mary Neal Jones letter last Thursday, headlined “National Republican Lead-ers create roadblock.”

The political dance we have been going through this year, rais-ing the debt limit, could have been avoided by the president, if he and the Democrat controlled Congress, had done it last year. They did not for political reasons.

They wanted to force the farce, and blame higher taxes on Republicans. To add to this, the president’s budget, for this year added to the deficit, and was dead on arrival in the congress. Half the year is now gone, and a new one

has not been submitted.The Republican leadership would

have never caused the harm, you suggest, and have left open, a long overdue revamp of our tax code. President Roosevelt raised taxes on the people who create jobs and ex-tended the Depression for ten years.

Presidents Kennedy, Reagan and Bush, who inherited similar reces-sions, lowered taxes and averted a continued

downturn. We need income from taxes, which we can get from lower rates on a rising economy.

We get there by working with busi-ness, not demonizing it. My company and I worked with Presidents Kennedy and Reagan to keep and promote jobs and the resulting economic growth.

–– Jack Black, Tryon

It’s really nice to see more small businesses opening in Landrum. I see that a bakery is going to open soon also. I’m glad to see the entrepre-neurial spirit is still alive!

Phone scams on rise in areaby Samantha Hurst

Getting an unexpected call from a grandson in the middle of the day should be a joy for grand-parents. But for Tryon resident El-eanor Galkowski it was troubling last week when she received what she thought was a call from her grandson, Ian.

“He called and said he was in Mexico City and had been arrested and needed $1,500 to bail him out,” Galkowski said.

The story the person on the phone gave her was that he had traveled down to Mexico City with his friend Matthew and Matthew’s brother who was getting married. While there Matthew had suppos-edly gotten too drunk to drive so her grandson said he drove and they were in a minor accident, which caused him to be arrested for a DUI.

The man on the phone told Galkowski that he needed $1,500 for bail money.

Galkowski said she explained to the person she thought was her grandson that she didn’t have that kind of money. The man pleaded with her further and she offered to go as far as trying to get a loan against her car to scrounge up the funds.

This wouldn’t work, the man told her. Galkowski said the man posing as her grandson begged her to help him and when she told him to call his mother, he said he couldn’t because he only had one phone call.

Once the man realized she had no money, he hung up on her.

Galkowski said the Tryon Po-lice Department came to her home to talk with her about the incident and said they have heard of many people falling victim to similar calls.

Police Chief Jeff Arrowood said the frequency of such calls comes and goes.

He said the area will receive rounds of them for several weeks and then nothing for months. He said they do this to catch people off guard.

“These people just prey on people and they are very aggres-sive, especially if they get any

money. Then they are relentless – they’ll call 10, 15, 20 times a day,” Arrowood said. “Once someone sends the money, off it goes to another country. There is no get-ting it back.”

Arrowood said the people pos-ing as grandkids or sweepstakes organizations are incredibly con-vincing. It also doesn’t help that they often utilize a call center so it looks like an American number in-stead of one from Jamaica, Canada or Nigeria. Arrowood said they can be calling from anywhere in the world and people just wouldn’t know.

He said the most recent scam involves sweepstakes holdings. He said the scammer will call and convince the person on the other line to give them their check rout-ing number so they can transfer their winnings – often saying they’ve won millions. The trick is they will then take hundreds, if not thousands, out of the person’s bank account.

“The ones we have been getting are people calling telling people they’ve won a sweepstakes and if they will send $3,000 they will win $3 million,” Arrowood said. “Some people have given lots of money and really believe that they are going to get lots of money in return. It’s hard to convince them they aren’t going to receive anything – that’s when we get the family involved.”

Arrowood suggested families have numbers changed. He also suggests having serious conversa-tions with elderly family members.

“They need to know that if it sounds too good to be true it really probably is. The best thing to do is just hang up on them,” he said. “If they do have any questions they can call the police department and let us know what is going on.”

Galkowski said she doesn’t want to see grandparents or retirees taken for money, especially when so many are actually on fixed incomes.

“They are calling people here because they know it’s a retirement area,” she said. “They think they can call grandparents and try and extort a lot of money from them.”

Free class at the Landrum Library

The feel of a cool breeze, interesting outdoor sights, a sense of freedom, these are some of the joys many adults experienced while walking or bicycling to school as a kid.

Staying safe when walking or biking back to schoolToday, for those who live in close proximity to their school campus, walking or biking can still be a fun, rewarding and healthy way to start and end the school day.

Before the school year starts, the N.C. Department of Trans-portation encourages North Carolinians to take time to prac-tice and review some basics of bicycling and walking to school with their child.

“School age children have to be taught the best and safest way to walk and ride their bicycle, because most children do not understand traffic, which puts them at a greater risk of injury,” said Kumar Trivedi, interim director of NCDOT’s Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Trans-portation.

There were 506 children ages six to 10 injured in pedestrian crashes in North Carolina be-tween 2004 and 2008. A total of 479 children ages six to 10 were injured in bicycle crashes during that time period, accounting for 10 percent of all bicycle crashes.

By working with their child, parents can help prevent these types of accidents. A way to begin is to map out what route your child is going to take to school and take advantage of free summer days to walk or ride the route a couple of times with your child. Use this time to go over some basic safety rules. Some key safety tips to share with children include:

• Look both ways when crossing a street, or coming out of an alley or driveway.

• Know and learn traffic signs and pedestrian crossing signals.

• Wear a helmet when bicy-cling, it’s the law.

• When you’re on a bike, don’t do tricks in the road and keep both hands on the handle-bars.

• Children getting off the bus should stop and look both ways before crossing every time.

Motorists should also be aware that the start of school means more children will be walking, biking or waiting at bus stops in the area. Some safety tips for motorists include:

• Look for children near school crossing zones and yield to children in crosswalks.

• Follow directions from school crossing guards.

• Stop for school buses and be mindful of children waiting at bus stops – there is a $250 penalty for speeding in a school zone in North Carolina.

The “Walk & Talk” program at the Upstairs Artspace is mov-ing from Sunday afternoons to one hour before opening recep-tions for new exhibits.

This Saturday, Aug. 20, “Walk & Talk” is scheduled for 4 p.m., an hour before the reception for “Curvature and Color” (paintings), “Carolina the Beautiful”(photography) and “Souls of Clay” (figurative sculpture).

Several artists from each exhibit will talk informally about their work. The audience is encouraged to ask questions.

The program was designed in the 1990s to inform and inspire the general public about the art exhibited at the Upstairs. It at-tracts people who appreciate art and want to better understand it. It also draws artists who like to learn tricks of the trade from their peers.

Following “Walk & Talk,” the reception is from 5 to 8 p.m. and includes refreshment and live music.

“Walk & Talk” moves to Saturday

Patricia Cole-Ferullo and Dom Ferullo have recently opened their newly created studio/gallery/classroom in downtown Tryon, Ferullo Fine Art Studio (FFAS), located at 140 Pacolet St. just beyond the post office. The studio/gallery/classroom is located in the ground level of their home and is open by appointment.

FFAS is offering classes and workshops, as well as participat-ing in the local monthly Gallery Trot.

The Ferullo’s have an exten-sive background in the arts, win-ning numerous awards in national and international juried competi-tions and showcasing work in many private collections, includ-ing the permanent collection of the Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC).

Cole-Ferullo has been invited to have her work featured in a book called “A Step Into Abstract” by Sue St Johns, soon to be pub-lished.

She was also featured in The

Artists Magazine with an article describing her method of creat-ing abstract paintings. Last year one of her paintings was among the finalists in the Artists Maga-zine annual international juried competition.

Dom Ferrulo had one of his sculptures chosen for the travel-ing exhibit g “Carolina’s Got Art” sponsored by the Elder Gallery in Charlotte. One of his wood sculptures took first place in the juried sculpture competition last year at the TFAC.

Cole-Ferullo is currently con-ducting an ongoing class in ex-pressive watercolor, the non-tra-ditional approach, each Thursday from 2 - 4 p.m., with open studio from 4 - 5 p.m.

Workshops and classes will be announced soon for the coming fall and winter. To schedule an appointment or for further infor-mation call 828-859-3177.

When life gets you down, know if it’s depressionIt seems that our world

today bombards us with the notion of depression, espe-cially through the media and entertainment.

You do not have to look far to see or hear of depres-sion. Images and ideas come in all forms from your child’s favorite cartoon character la-menting that he is depressed about losing his favorite toy to the stream of anti-depressant drug commercials that cleverly animate the idea of depression.

So, we must know what depression looks like, right? Depression is depression. Or is it?

When a new client is exhib-iting symptoms of depression, diagnosis involves an in-depth assessment to determine type and severity.

Depression may be chronic,

intermittent or a single epi-sode. It may be triggered by life events such as a serious ill-ness, loss of a job, complicated grief or a failed relationship.

Clinical Depression (CD) involves symptoms such as restlessness, feelings of hope-lessness, fatigue, change in appetite, persistent sadness and even thoughts of suicide, but without an external reason for these feelings. Situational Depression (SD) may involve similar symptoms though is triggered by an identifiable event or situation in one’s life.

The old adage says that “life is full of ups and downs,” but

those downs can sometimes lead to one of the most treat-able forms of depression.

Treatment for SD includes examination of the correlation between the external stressors and the onset of symptoms, as well as the client’s mental and physical health history. A medical examination may be indicated.

If there is no history of clini-cal depression and these symp-toms appeared around the time of the major stressor, short term solution focused therapy is very effective treatment.

The client will explore thoughts and feelings about the situation, put it in perspective and develop a tangible solution for moving forward.

Situational Depression is common and occurs in about 10 percent of adults with men

and women equally affected. SD occurs in up to 30 percent of adolescents who often ex-hibit more behavioral symp-toms, such as truancy in school or fighting.

More than half of adults diagnosed with a serious ill-ness experience depression symptoms related to the medi-cal condition.

Sometimes life simply gets us down, but the depression symptoms that may accom-pany those downturns can be resolved and that treatment is available in our community at Polk Wellness Center.

Carolina Mountain Land Con-servancy (CMLC) is challenging outdoor enthusiasts to support land conservation by hiking.

Those who complete eight hikes will earn a badge of honor: CMLC’s exclusive white squirrel embroidered hiking patch. Those who complete the challenge will also earn a $20 gift certificate for free hiking gear at the Henderson-ville location of the Mast General Store.

There is no deadline to com-plete the eight hikes. Challenge hikes may be completed individu-ally or as part of monthly guided outings.

“CMLC works very hard to protect our beautiful mountain lands and facilitate access for people to enjoy them. We believe that by getting out and exploring these places, you will discover why land conservation is so important,” says CMLC executive director Kieran Roe. “You’ll have a lot of fun doing it, too.”

To find out more or to enroll in the challenge, visit www.caro-linamountain.org/hikingchallenge.
