news briefs

Landrum won’t pave Green Meadows LaneThe City of Landrum decided recently not to pave Green Meadows Lane after not being able to obtain needed rights of way. The city also decided to stop maintaining one prop-erty there that was cleared annually for through traffic at the property owners’ request.

Landrum may reconsider code enforcer positionLandrum councilman Don Inman suggested recently that the city could save money by having code enforcement han-dled through the police department and city hall personnel. With that plan, the city would not need to provide a vehicle for code enforcement. The city is looking into costs versus revenues and may cut down on the enforcer’s time.

Brannon speaks to Landrum councilDoug Brannon (R), who is running for the S.C. House Dis-trict 38 seat, attended the Landrum City Council meeting this month and introduced himself as a candidate.

Barnes speaks to Landrum councilBarbara Barnes, who is up for re-election with the Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer District Commission, in-troduced herself during a recent Landrum City Council meeting.

Polk approves tax refund for propertyPolk County commissioners on Monday approved a tax refund in the amount of $177.24 for penalties and inter-est on a 2009 tax bill. Officials said the property was inadvertently missed during the 2009 revaluation and mistakenly dropped from the tax rolls, so the property owner did not receive a tax bill.

Porter appointed to transportation boardPolk County commissioners on Monday appointed Ruth Porter to the Polk County Transportation Authority board.

Hill appointed to EDC boardJohn Hill was appointed recently to the Polk County Eco-nomic Development Commission. The Polk County Board of Commissioners made the appointment Monday.

Polk appoints four to planning boardsThe Polk County Board of Commissioners on Monday ap-pointed Emily Clark, Wayne Horne, Susan Welsh and David Smith to the Polk County Planning Board. There were eight applications for the four seats, and votes on the appoint-ments were tied on a couple of occasions.

Tryon accepts Polk County flagTryon Town Council accepted a Polk County flag from Polk representative John Vining. Vining has presented each town with a flag and asks that the towns fly the flag somewhere in town. The county approved the flag design in 1996.

The skills that I developed over the past thirty-three years with my successful Small business have served me well since my election as County Commissioner. As a fiscal conservative, I spearheaded the reduction of the Polk County tax rate that was declared by the Association of County Commissioners as being the greatest tax decrease of all 100 counties in North Carolina. My solid work ethic has helped me to devote the necessary time and research needed before making decisions. As a native and lifelong resident of our beautiful WNC mountains, I will continue to work to find the balance between protecting our natural rural beauty and providing economic growth suited to our Polk County way of life.

Tryon House will occupy approximately three thousand square feet in the former Tryon Federal Bank and Jackson build-ings that will house expanded selling space for men’s and women’s apparel, jewelry, acces-sories and gifts and much needed back office and merchandise receiving areas. The new store will include a shoe department and a children’s boutique.

The former Missildine build-ing will house an upscale, white tablecloth restaurant for lunch and dinner, an ice cream shop, a wine bar and private dining rooms for meetings and other community activities. The top floor of the build-ings will be converted to residen-

A little historyAccording to the Downtown Tryon Architectural Survey

Report (http://downtowntryon.org/Tryon_Architectural_Sur-vey_2008.pdf), the Missildine building was built in 1913 after the first Missildine drug store burned. For many years Missildine’s Drug Store was a popular community gathering place, and Ernest Ellwood Missildine (d. 1942), the pharmacist, served several terms as mayor of Tryon. Missildine and Dr. Earle Grady opened the pharmacy in 1896, but two years later he became the sole owner. Maj. William Strong, who worked on several prominent Tryon buildings, oversaw the rebuilding of the drug store follow-ing the 1913 fire. In addition to the drug store on the first story, the second story contained offices and a large hall, which accommodated the Masonic Lodge, chamber of commerce, USO, and other civic groups. Dr. Grady, an early Tryon physician, had a second story office in the building. In 1967 the building was purchased by Mrs. F. P. Bacon to house the Blue Ridge Weavers, which remained in the building through the late 20th century before relocating to Pacolet Street. At that time, the building became part of Tryon Federal Bank and was remodeled to function with the adjacent buildings.

The Tryon Federal and the Jackson buildings were built in 1915 and the street level façade was renovated in the late 1990s as part of the Tryon Federal Bank’s expansion.

tial condominiums.Prioleau said “Before big box

retailing developed, small towns all over North Carolina had a family owned, department store and tea room that spoke uniquely to the needs of its community. Tryon House represents a suc-cessful return to those roots of local entre-p reneur sh ip . Our retail store will continue to reflect the el-egant simplicity that defines life in Tryon. Our restaurants will celebrate local, seasonal products and hand craft-ed specialty foods and wines.”

Tryon House plans to coop-erate closely with the Town of Tryon and the Tryon Downtown Development Association in achieving a sensitive restoration of the façade and interiors of the historic properties.

Prioleau said that the busi-ness was grateful for enthusiastic support throughout the purchase negotiations from mayor Alan Peoples, mayor pro-tempore Austin Chapman, town manager Justin Hembree, president of the Foothills Chamber of Commerce Andy Millard and Tryon Business and Tourism Development Coor-

dinator Crys Armbrust. Armbrust, who is also the pres-

ident of the Tryon Downtown De-velopment Association (TDDA), said, "On behalf of the office of tourism and business development and the Tryon Downtown Devel-opment Association, we are most pleased to congratulate Tryon House for its acquisition of the historic Missildine and Jackson

properties. We look forward to working very c lose ly wi th the new owners to accomplish their renovation and commercial goals. I really think this is the most important economic de-

velopment transaction to have occurred in Tryon in years."

"It's a prayer answered for my town," said Peoples. "I know some of the people involved and it's fantastic. They've worked very hard to put this together. I think it's going to be a win/win for everybody."

The managing member of Tryon House LLC, Mary Wells Prioleau, is a native of Columbia and Paw-leys Island, S.C., and attended Mt. Vernon College. Prioleau moved to Tryon in 2006 and bought Tryon House from Larry and Vicki Siler in February, 2007. Joe Yochem of Merit Properties in Charlotte, N.C., was the broker in the transaction.

Ring: 864.978.2283 for a consultation

There once was a little old lady (bless her heart),Sleeping peacefully in her bed.Who awoke one night with an awful start,From water dripping onto her forehead.

So she called on two roofers she found in the book,To ask them to come fix her leaks.They both said they’d be right there for a look—In 16 or 17 weeks.

Finally, they came with their sad, dreaded news...“Lady you need a whole roof—this one’s trash!And we’ll do it right now—see, we brought our crews,If you’ll just give us $4,000 cash.

“What am I ever to do?” she wept,“It’s more than I can afford.Besides, when they trooped to my doorstep, They looked like a Mongol Horde.”

“Oh, Lord,” she prayed, “Can you help me out?”“My bedroom will soon be a pond,” she pled. “Please send me an honest, hardworking man (or a drought),So I don’t float away in my bed.”

All of a sudden the clouds went away,And the day turned sunny and bright!And a chorus of angels sang, “Do not dismay,Craftsman Services will treat you RIGHT!”

In a flash they were there—a professional team,Clean and honest—she couldn’t believe her luck!They fixed two leaky spots and a chimney seam,For a measly $400 bucks.

Now the little old lady sleeps all through the night, And happy and dry greets each glorious day!Secure in the knowledge she was treated right,In the Craftsman Services way.(A True Story)

and a 50/50 raffle and live enter-tainment will also be part of this first annual agricultural celebra-tion. The supper, auction, live music, and raffle will take place from 6 - 8:30 p.m.Local foods cookbook

America’s legendary Blue Ridge Moun-tain region is known for its rich history and culture, and not least, its traditional cuisine. But much of what’s cooking here is new, including a thriving Farm to Table movement and increas-ingly established Slow Food conviviums. This philosophy - of caring about where food comes from, how it is grown, and how it is prepared - has transformed the culinary scene for newcomers and old-timers alike.

The silent auction at the Farm to Fork Supper will include seven signed copies of "The New Blue Ridge Cookbook: Authentic Recipes from North Carolina’s Mountains to Virginia’s High-lands," written by Elizabeth Weigand.

Wiegand writes the book with the belief that behind every taste of local food there is a story. She says her mission is to explore the food that’s brought to southern tables and to share the passion of the “salad bar” ranchers who pasture-raise their beef, bakers who arise at ungodly hours to bake their loaves, and farmers who raise the pumpkins or turkey for the Thanksgiving dinner. She

asks what’s the t rad i -tional way of cooking t h e m a n d what’s the newest cu-linary ap-

proach? Each supper guest is asked

to bring a unique dinner plate that will be left behind for the ag center to use for future events (no plastic or resin plates, please).

Tickets for the supper were sold out as of Thursday morning, but everyone is still invited to come and participate in the tours and other aspects of the event.

Proceeds benefit the restora-tion of the former Mill Spring School.

For more information, or to donate farm foods or auction items, please contact Carol Lynn Jackson at 828-817-2308 or [email protected].

County approves $1.59M bid for DSS constructionTotal cost for new building estimated at $1.9Mby Leah Justice

The final major decision on Polk County’s controversial proposed department of social services (DSS) building has been made.

Commissioners on Mon-day awarded the construction contract to the low bidder, Able Constructors of Green-ville, S.C. The bid amount was $1,590,755.

Commissioners also ap-proved Monday a resolution to file an application to the N.C. Local Government Commis-sion (LGC) to finance $1.85 million of the project.

The total cost of the project is estimated at $1,914,052 once expected reimbursements from federal and state govern-ments are factored in. Some reimbursements will be spread out over the next 45 years (the projected life of the building), while $95,498 is estimated to be reimbursed this fiscal year. (See the article on page 10 for more details.)

The bid was approved after the county found out last week that a pump was not needed at the proposed building because the water pressure from the well was found to be sufficient.

Because the two lowest bids were very close, the results of the pressure test were needed to determine the lowest bidder. If a pump had been needed, MV Momentum Construction, LLC of Charlotte would have been the low bidder.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson says the water pres-sure test revealed that the well produces 1,250 gallons per minute. The well needed to produce a minimum of 1,000 gallons per minute in order to

provide sufficient water with-out a pump and generator.

Commissioner Tommy Melton was the sole vote against both decisions this week.

“Several months ago I want-ed to keep the building at 10,000 square feet or less and wanted the budget to be $1.5 million,” said Melton. “So, for that I will not be able to vote in favor.”

Commissioner Renee Mc-Dermott said she disagrees with Melton, saying that the Womack building was not large enough for county services by the time construction was complete. The county had to purchase three additional build-ings because the building had not been constructed to meet future needs, she said.

“It’s so much better to plan ahead than to look back and see that you made a huge mistake,” McDermott said.

The size of the building has been a topic of controversy re-cently. Commissioners Walker and Gasperson have joined Mc-Dermott, saying they want to plan for the future. They have made projections of the future growth of DSS and say they want the building to last 45 years.

But commissioners Melton and Warren Watson have said the building is about 1,000 square feet too large. Accord-ing to estimates, the building will have between seven and nine more offices than the cur-rent DSS utilizes.

They have said that DSS should not be a facility the county encourages to grow; instead, they say, the county should be working to reduce the number of residents who utilize the service.

Walker, Gasperson and Mc-Dermott have said that DSS helps not only Medicaid re-

cipients but also many more residents such as the elderly and children. They say those and other needs will continue to grow in the county.

The building will be con-structed at 11,900 square feet and will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental De-sign) certified, which is expected to save only utility costs over the lifetime of the building.

The county also agreed on Monday to seek financing for the building. The LGC will first have to approve the county borrowing money for the project, which Whitson said won’t be an issue because of the county’s low debt and history of paying off debts.

Whitson estimates that the county should be able to obtain a 4.10 percent loan with debt service beginning in December, 2011. The county anticipates taking out a 15-year loan on the project, with the first year's payment being $161,258, which includes $37,925 in interest and an annual $123,333 principal. Polk will also be reimbursed for the interest portion of the loan through state and federal reimbursements at a rate of 61 percent or an approximately $185,074 reimbursement over the life of the loan.

Ernie Smith expressed con-cern that the county did not choose a local contractor. Com-missioner Cindy Walker com-mented that local sub-contrac-tors are being used for the grad-ing portion of the project and Ray Gasperson said by law the county is required to select the lowest bidder because it is being funded with taxpayer money.

Grading for the project has begun on county recreation com-plex property off Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring. No estimates of when construction of the actual building will begin have been given, but officials have said in the past they anticipate con-struction to begin by the end of the year.

Reimbursements for DSS could top $1.1M over 45 yearsActual cost could end up at $747,000by Leah Justice

When it’s all said and done, Polk County may spend just $747,552 for a new depart-ment of social services (DSS) building, despite total costs estimated at $1.9M.

The lower cost is the result of reimbursements from the state and federal governments that are expected to add up to 61 percent of construction costs.

Some of the reimbursements will be done in $23,800 incre-ments over the next 45 years.

Costs of DSS services are paid through federal and state dollars as well as county dol-lars, depending on the service. Construction costs are also partly funded by state and fed-eral monies.

Polk County is expecting to spend $1,914,052 on a new DSS building to be constructed on county owned recreation park acreage off Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring. Polk could be reimbursed $95,498 this fis-cal year – 61 percent of costs associated with professional services, including architect's fees ($139,000), project man-agement fees ($4,845), survey-ing costs ($4,200) and advertis-ing/printing costs ($8,508).

Other costs are also reim-bursed on a 61 percent basis, with some reimbursements coming annually over a 45-year period, or the expected life of the building.

Over the next 45 years, the

county is expecting $23,800 annually in reimbursements, which will equate to $1,071,001 over the next 45 years. The total reimbursement, includ-ing the $95,498 the county should receive this year and the $23,000 annually, will mean the total cost of the building to the county 45 years from now could be $747,552.

Some residents and com-missioners took issue with the reimbursement numbers this week, saying the county needs to look at the building as cost-ing $2 million, or more than that including interest on a loan.

Polk approved a $2 million budget ordinance for the build-ing earlier this year. With that budget, the county will have $85,948 left to spend on fur-niture, which some say is not enough. Other estimates have indicated that furniture will cost $150,000.

The county will also receive reimbursements on furniture, however, at a rate of 61 percent over seven years. If the county spends $85,948 to furnish the building, it could be reimbursed $52,444 over a seven year pe-riod, or $7,492 per year.

Other costs for the building are expected to come in, such as further cost for the project manager and advertising and printing.

The county this week ap-proved the low bidder for the construction of the building as well as a resolution to seek financing. Grading has already begun on the project.

Polk fund balance getting too high, Whitson saysCounty looks to pay off $2M loanby Leah Justice

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said this week that the county’s fund balance, which is estimated at 33 percent of its gen-eral fund, is getting too high.

The county’s current fund balance as of June 30, 2010 is estimated at $6,930,171, or 33.3 percent of its general fund.

Polk won’t know the audited figures until mid November, when auditors are scheduled to make a presentation.

Whitson suggested commis-sioners may want to consider paying off an estimated $2 mil-lion loan.

Commissioners discussed the county’s fund balance Monday while approving a res-olution to seek approximately $1.85 million in financing for a new department of social ser-vices (DSS) building. Since the state and federal governments will reimburse the county for an estimated 61 percent of the interest the county pays on a loan for DSS construction expenses, Whitson said it may be smart to pay off an existing loan that paid for the middle school, recreation park and transfer station a few years ago.

Whitson said although he is a proponent of “no debt,” he thinks the county should finance the DSS building be-

cause of the reimbursements on interest. He said the county is not making a lot of money on funds in the bank in the current economy and the county could take its current fund balance to pay off the remaining approxi-mately $2 million left on the existing loan.

Whitson cautioned on Mon-day that the state could be looking at county budgets to balance their own. He said he saw that recently with the county’s mental health entity, Western Highlands. Although the state did not take money out of Western Highland’s bank account, the state did withhold normal revenues and told West-ern Highlands to use its fund balance instead.

If the county paid off the other loan, it would still have an estimated fund balance of 21 to 22 percent, which is sufficient, Whitson said.

The county currently has total debt of $16,099,000 with the debt expected to drop to $14,460,000 by the end of this fiscal year. If the county borrows $1.85 million for the DSS construction, the coun-ty’s debt would be back up to $16,310,000. Then, if the other loan is paid off the debt would drop to $14,200,000, accord-ing to Whitson’s figures on Monday.

Whitson said when he was first hired as county manager in 2007, the county’s debt was $23 million.

“When Ray Gasperson announced that he was running for County Commissioner two years ago, I had only the slightest idea of who he was. But I got to know him as we did house-to-house canvassing together. As a farmer and one who had a deep concern for land development, I knew he would be a valuable asset to Polk County. This has been confirmed by his work as a Commissioner over the past two years. We need Ray Gasperson to continue on the Board of Commissioners. —Jim Jackson

“Ray Gasperson gets things done.

Ray studies issues diligently. He fully informs himself and formulates sensible, practical, economical solutions. He’s not satisfied with just doing things ‘the same old way.’ Ray discusses those solutions with other Commissioners, staff and other citizens. He is very budget conscious and spearheaded the work toward a lower tax rate for Polk County, giving Polk County the distinction of lowering its property tax rate more than any other of the 100 counties in North Carolina. Ray cares very deeply for all the people of Polk County.” -- Renee McDermott

The Bulletin recently asked Polk County commissioner can-didates to answer five questions about local issues. Here are their answers to the fourth question.

4) Polk County is currently without an economic develop-ment director. What is your plan to bring business and jobs to Polk County?

Ray D. GaspersonI want to find a trained, ex-

perience EDC director for our county. The system set up by a prior board simply was not working out.

Fortunately we have a volun-teer economic commission that is working very hard and doing a good job. They’re currently or-ganizing citizens with business experience to help attract and mentor local business people and start-ups. In addition, we need a director, someone who can devote full time to economic development and jobs retention and creation in our county.

I have a proven record of sup-porting Agricultural Economic Development. Additionally, I voted to provide public water and other critical funding re-quests needed for its businesses incubator facility.

I will continue to support top notch education, both at the public schools and community college levels. It’s critical to have a well trained work force available for new businesses.

I’m convinced that we can find the balance of keeping Polk County vibrant, beautiful and rural while welcoming new people and businesses.

Margaret JohnsonAs the County Commission-

ers and Economic Development Commission tackle the issues connected to business and job creation, I believe it would be helpful to bring additional com-munity business leaders into the task just as the 20/20 Visioning Committee so successfully did. Assigning individuals with expertise in related areas to ad-

Candidates answer 4th Bulletin questiondress the economic development recommendations made in the Comprehensive Plan would be a good place to start. We need to plan for sensible economic growth that creates sustainable, living wage jobs in businesses that are compatible with our county’s rural character and quality of life. Such jobs would lead to an increase in our tax base so we can invest in our county in ways that will attract other jobs and other investors.

Tommy MeltonWe currently have a well

qualified economic develop-ment board. I would like to see two county commissioners (myself being one) attend the meetings of this board and be a part of the discussions. The two commissioners would then report back to the rest of the board.

We should continue to work closely with AdvantageWest. An initiative, the Blue Ridge Entrepreneurial Council, pro-vides quarterly opportunities for qualified entrepreneurial businesses to present plans be-fore a group of local investors, the Blue Ridge Angel Investor Network. Continuing to develop a more entrepreneurial commu-nity will be a key to the county’s prosperity.

Improvements in water infra-structure, as well as technology infrastructure (telecommuni-cations and broadband) must continue in order to sustain these businesses possibly looking to locate in Polk County.

One thing I am very proud of is our education system in Polk County. Once the CEO of a large corporation made this statement, “Keep your tax incentives and your highway interchanges. We will go where the highly skilled people are…Education is at the heart of everything, I believe”.

David MooreAs one person I cannot bring

jobs to our county but Collective as a board we need to hire an economic development direc-tor with the goal of bringing in small low impact businesses.

Ted OwensI would reinstate the job of

Economic Development Direc-tor. I appreciate our volunteers that serve on the EDC (I was once there myself) but they can’t take the place of a paid employee that can be held ac-countable. His duty should be to support the jobs we already have in this county and to recruit environmentally compatible light industrial establishments

that would provide jobs at a pay scale that would allow our young people to be able to afford to live and work here at home. Replenish the fund to help the type industry we want to locate in Polk County, such as James Tool.

Also, as one member of the EDC has suggested, getting private citizens to invest in a building that could be easily renovated to accommodate the needs of a prospective indus-try.

I would ensure the state agen-cies that are involved in eco-nomic development that Polk County is sincere in wanting and needing their help.

We need to get private investors to build suitable facilities to offer to new businesses or ones that are expanding. Again we can offer incentives to these inves-tors. These incentives need to be based on results so that we see the availability of new jobs for the citizens of Polk. This economic growth will also help lower property taxes as our tax base would increase.

Benny SmithPolk County has an Eco-

nomic Development Commis-sion made up of volunteers who recently met certification requirements to give us the title of a “Certified Entrepreneurial Community”. Administered by Advantage West, the regional economic developer, this pro-gram works with local commu-nities to develop and implement a custom plan for growth. Since most of jobs are created by small business, we must do ev-erything possible to encourage entrepreneurs with start-ups and expansions. Working with both the North Carolina Department of Commerce and Advantage West, we can showcase Polk County with the ultimate goal to secure jobs for our citizens.

Warren WatsonWith or without an EDC di-

rector, I would support continued efforts by St. Luke’s Hospital to develop & recruit a network of health care providers to the County. I would also focus on the equine industry, by encouraging the EDC to develop a National Equine Center, which would be a catalyst for related services. I would support agricultural indus-try research and development op-portunities. Health care, equine, specialized veterinary care and agricultural research would be linked to an education component through Isothermal Community College and our University net-works which could provide local and on-line training. I would also recruit green energy companies. The related job growth would be a catalyst for housing construc-tion, and for moderate growth in retail, restaurants and lodging.

The Bulletin recently asked Polk County sheriff candidates to answer four questions about local issues. Here are their an-swers to the fourth question.

4. What do you see as the biggest challenge facing law enforcement in Polk County and how do you propose to meet that challenge?Donald Hill

We have several challenges facing Polk County Law En-forcement. One is that we must stay in step with the growing criminal element in and around our county. Polk County, while having its own sundry element of individuals causing havoc and disaccord, must deal with suspects from adjoining coun-ties and states who intentionally travel here to violate the law and scurry back across the borders to their areas. This challenge is being met by working closely with local agencies as well as Henderson, Rutherford, Green-ville, and Sparatanburg County authorities. We are committed to working together and to net-work with agencies beyond our borders. This commitment con-tinues today with shared intel-ligence, undercover operations, and also with significant plan-ning sessions. This challenge will always exist as a result of our close proximity to the state line and the quality of life we have been blessed with.

Also, while we have tar-geted certain programs like our R.U. OK program to our senior citizens, we must also remain committed to protecting and

educating our youth. Too often our news programs have stories of troubled teens who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. We are combat-ing that through our newly cre-ated LEARN (Listen, Educate, Advocate, and Respond to the Needs) program which is tar-geted to the youth and children of Polk County. We must do all we can to protect and educate these valuable resources.Nathan Shields

The biggest challenge in the near and mid-term future for law enforcement in Polk County will be delivering a high level of service in the face of budget constraints, historic problems such as drug use remaining seri-ous and new issues such as the many varieties of cybercrime adding to the workload.

I intend to meet the challenge by turning to a business, prob-lem solving model rather than staying with the traditional law enforcement paramilitary mod-el. An example is the “shadow unit,” targeted at drugs both traditionally including drug investigations involving illegal drug sells and use including prescription drug abuse, and non-traditionally having the unit deliver drug use preven-tion talks in the county school system; re-establishing the D.A.R.E program.

Cooperation at all levels of law enforcement along with co-ordination with other agencies will be used to cope with crime for cross jurisdictional illegal drug activity, for cybercrime, and to save money.

Advice in Physical Therapy Month: Incontinence, unspoken epidemic

Editor’s note: The follow-ing information about physi-cal therapy was submitted by PRO Physical Therapy in recognition of October, which is National Physical Therapy Month. by Erin Alley, MSPT

Incontinence, the involuntary loss of urine or feces, is a wide-spread problem that often goes unspoken.

Incontinence affects not just elderly women and men but also children and pre menopausal women as well. Of children ages 8-16, 10 to 15 percent experience problems with incontinence. Of women ages 25-55, 25 percent experience some form of leaking. The percentage rises with age: 35 percent of people 65 and older and 50 to 70 percent of homebound people or residents of nursing homes experience incontinence.

So why the silence? Bowel and bladder problems are often con-sidered private, very personal and embarrassing matters. And, thanks to many misconceptions, many people consider incontinence “normal.” It is quite common for people to keep their “leaking” to themselves and not even bring the matter up with family, friends or physicians.

Misconception #1: “Johnny (who is 10 years old) will just grow out of his bed wetting prob-lem.” Bedwetting in children older than five years is not normal.

Misconception #2: “It’s nor-mal to leak on occasion when I run, jump, sneeze or cough. I have two children.” Leaking greater than three months post partum is not normal.

Misconception #3: “I hate these urges I am having, but I guess it is all part of menopause, so I’ll have to live with it.” Prob-lems with urge incontinence during menopause can arise, but can be successfully treated with lifestyle changes and specific exercises.

Misconception #4: “I am a 75-year-old man. I guess this in-continence is what I get for trying to stay active.” Although the inci-dence of incontinence in people 64 years of age and older is much greater in women, the incidence of problems in men 65 and older is rising as a result of the rising number of prostate problems.

Misconception #5: “I am tired of waking up four to five times a night to go to the bathroom, but I guess it is just my age.” Wrong. Normal frequency of nighttime toileting in people 65 and younger is zero. In people 65 and older, normal frequency is 1-2 times a night.

Incontinence is not a secret you have to live with, nor should you. Many people spend more than $1000 year on pads and products to deal with incontinence. Incon-tinence is second only to dementia for nursing home admission. If left untreated, incontinence has serious psycho-social ramifica-tions: depression, social isolation and activity restrictions, to name a few.

Lisa Simone records ‘Four Women’ for Tyler Perry movie

Lisa Simone, the only child and daughter of legendary music artist Nina Simone, who was born in Tryon, recently recorded a new version of her mother Nina’s original classic “Four Women” for Tyler Perry’s much awaited film, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.”

“Four Women,” produced by Warren Campbell, will be avail-able and heard on the commer-cially released movie soundtrack (Atlantic Records, November 2, 2010), closing credits and the movie trailer.

“For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf” releases na-

tionwide in theaters on Nov. 5.A highly-praised live perform-

er whose resume includes starring roles in acclaimed Broadway mu-sicals such as “Rent” and “Aida,” Lisa Simone, who goes by just Si-mone professionally, is an actress, singer and songwriter recognized for her rich vocal range, an innate skill for lyrical interpretation and a deep understanding of music as a means of healing and celebra-tion. Simone has adopted many elements of her mother’s style, yet is also a multi-talented artist in her own right.

For additional information on Simone, visit - http://www.simo-nesworld.com/ and http://www.tedkurland.com/artists/simone.

Great Grand Dad LeviWorking for the past nine

years, Beauford Arledge, 84, gathered his memories into a book that only he could write, “The Stories of Green River Cove.” With permission, the Bulletin is sharing excerpts from the book with our readers. If you would like to purchase a copy of “Stories of the Green River Cove,” call Arledge’s daughter, Susan Howell, at 894-3724.

People who have lived in the Cove have places or branches named after them. My great-grand father Levi Arledge in-herited land on the east side of the river from Isaac Arledge. It is said to be recorded in the Ru-therford County Court House.

Levi springGoing up the

road from Silver Creek Church to the Cove and getting to the river on the left side of the road is where he lived. On the right side, crossing the branch, is what we call the Levi spring.

The spring is now filled up with dirt. Just above it is a boul-der and rocks. A large beech tree

grew there at one time and people had carved their names on it. This

was a way to tell that people just passing by had been here.

Levi’s moneyThe Arledges

have said that Levi hid his money in an iron pot under a peculiar tree. As far as is known now, no one has ever found it. I have looked for it myself with a metal detector, but I honestly didn’t find it. I guess it just there some-where, rusting away.

Lanier Library hosts ‘Prince of Dark Corner’ October 24

On Sunday, October 24 at 2 p.m. the Lanier Library is host-ing a special presentation of the play “Major Lewis Redmond, The Prince of Dark Corners.” Gary Carden, the playwright will introduce the performance and discuss the history behind it and the part of Major Redmond will be played by Milton Higgins.

Gary Carden is familiar to many for his storytelling and his performance last year at the La-nier Library of his play “When the Tannery Whistle Blows.” He is returning with actor Milton Hig-gins to perform his new play that will appeal to anyone interested in a portrayal of local history.

At the time of his capture in 1881 on charges of moonshin-ing and bootlegging, the outlaw Lewis Redmond was described at “the most famous man in South Carolina.” The adventurer was

equally well-known in western North Carolina and north Georgia and greatly admired for his “un-daunted courage and unmistak-able dash.”

Although the trial was sched-uled to take place in Asheville, where he had many admirers and supporters, the location was changed to the Greenville court because of the likelihood of a rescue from the Asheville jail. Higgins brings out both the vil-lain and the hero in the character of Redmond.

The play has been performed on public television and in theaters in the Carolinas. The intimate setting of the Lanier Library offers a rare opportunity to see it “up close,” so audience members are encouraged to come early for seats.

The program is free and ev-eryone is welcome.

Spaghetti supper to benefit Vicki KeithA spaghetti supper benefit for

local resident Vicki Keith will be held on October 30 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Tryon Presbyterian Fellowship Hall. The benefit is being held by a few of Keith’s friends to raise funds for an op-eration Keith needs.

Event organizers say Keith needs an operation to repair a hernia, which is getting larger by the week. They say she cannot get medical insurance because she had breast cancer too recently

and that she was “replaced” by the company she worked for when she had the cancer surgery. Because of her age, she has had trouble finding another job, but she is not yet eligible for Medicare and does not have the money for an operation. Organizers say that she is one of those who are lost in the middle of the “red tape.”

Cost for the supper includes spaghetti, salad, bread, dessert and drink.

Gov. Perdue urges teen drivers to pay attention behind the wheelNational Teen Driver Safety Week runs Oct. 17-24

Amos Johnson misses his daughter Ashley. He thinks about her every day. He loved her. He always will.

When Ashley began driving, Amos taught her the ropes. Obey the speed limit, always use your signals and put the cell phone down. But sometimes people forget.

In May, Ashley forgot. Au-thorities said, she hit a truck head-on while retrieving a text message that caused her to be distracted.

“I hear stories like this all the time and it breaks my heart,” said Gov. Bev Perdue. “Young drivers must learn that their lives – and the lives of others – are more important than making somebody wait a few minutes for the answer to a text message.”

Today, Perdue urges young drivers to pay attention when be-hind the wheel as part of National Teen Driver Safety Week, which runs October 17 through 24. The N.C. Department of Transporta-

tion has produced videos focus-ing on the dangers teens face while behind the wheel.

One video features Amos sharing Ashley’s story. The videos can be found at ncdot.gov and on the department’s YouTube page.

“It’s important for everyone to watch Mr. Johnson’s story, and learn from it,” Perdue said.

Perdue said distracted driving is a major concern with teenag-ers because of the popularity of electronic devices like cell phones. In 2009, 126 teen drivers died in traffic crashes. Eight of those fatalities were caused by a distraction. More than 8,000 wrecks involving teens were the result of distracted driving.

Since Ashley’s death, Amos has been telling her story to make young drivers pay attention to the road. He said he wants teenagers to learn from her mistake.

“Driving is a privilege,” he said. “Pay attention to what you’re doing. There are so many things that can happen.”

For more information about teen driving safety, visit www.nhtsa.gov or www.distraction.gov.


Howl at the Moon Adopt-a-thonFoothills Humane Society will

hold a pet adopt-a-thon on Satur-day, October 23 from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m., or until 11 dogs and 11 cats find their new homes. The event will be held at Foothills’ Shelter at 989 Little Mountain Road in Columbus.

Foothills Humane Society is an open admission shelter serving Polk County, Landrum, Campo-bello and Gowensville. It receives approximately 1,800 dogs and cats each year, most of whom need new homes. Foothills has placed over 1,400 dogs and cats so far this year, over 98 percent of the animals com-ing into the shelter.

The shelter is full right now, and the animals need homes to save their lives. A wide variety

of pets are available. All pets are fully vetted, spayed or neutered and come with a microchip. Adoption counselors will help ensure purrfect matches.

Adoption donations will be waived for this event. Refresh-ments, music, a full moon and ani-mals and volunteers will make this a great event for the family.

Spears performs in Saluda Oct. 22Seasoned performer and

touring troubadour, musical art-ist Doug Spears returns to The Wine Cellar at the Saluda Inn Friday, October 22 at 7 p.m.

Spears blends elements of contemporary folk, Americana, bluegrass, country and folk rock. Spears has invested more than 35 years developing his craft. Often drawing compari-sons to some of the best-known and well-established artists of the genre, Spears has carved a special niche for himself in folk and Americana music.

Spears was born in Lees-burg, Fla., and he says his best childhood memories tie back to the farmhouse his grandfather built in Lake County in the 1920s. He took up the guitar at age 12, learning on an old Gibson J-45 loaned to him by a family friend, and soon began writing his own songs heavily influenced by the wealth of songwriter poets of the time.

Spears’ song craft matured into a weaving of lyric portraits capturing the essence of the

often joyous though sometimes difficult aspects of our lives. Of his Florida homeland, he sings of the unsung and often undiscovered heart of Florida, before Disney World and Mar-garitaville, a simpler place covered by thousands of acres of palmetto scrub, citrus groves, family farms and cattle range.

The Wine Cellar is located at The Saluda Inn at 229 Green-ville Street in Saluda. For reser-vations and further information call 828-749-9698.

Armchair Traveler takes journey to Three Sisters Wilderness Area

Come join John Ratterree as he takes you on a tour of the Three Sisters Wilderness Area in person and from an armchair on Sunday, October 24 at 4 p.m.

John Ratterree was born in the foothills of South Carolina and his parents instilled a love of nature from an early age, taking him on his first camping trip to Mt Mitchell before he was a year old.

A high school science teach-er for 20 plus years, Ratter-ree holds a masters degree in natural science education from Converse College and is a re-cent graduate of the FENCE/Clemson University South Carolina Master Naturalist

program.He has hiked in the east

from Maine to Florida along with trips to Colorado, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. One of his most memorable trips was a 22-day Outward Bound course in the Three Sisters Wilderness Area of Oregon. While this trip was almost 25 years ago, Ratterree uses the power of the Internet to return to Oregon and many of his other favorite spots as an armchair traveler.

The FENCE Armchair Trav-eler series is offered free of charge with the support of the Kirby Endowment Fund at the Polk County Community Foundation.

Letter to the Editor

Politics in AmericaTo the Editor:

I want to write about our sorry state of politics. We want candidates to run because they genuinely wish to serve their community, not because they are seeking power and personal gain. Prospective candidates with the right motivation are hard to find because they know they will be attacked no matter how well they conduct them-selves or how well they do their job. If we don’t rid the system of the bad apples, it will only get worse.

I believe we all want low spending, low taxes, a well run county government and every-one to be treated equally. The candidates we select should be dedicated to providing this and always being honest and truth-ful. We could then talk about their respective vision of how to get this done and not spend all our time fighting off the spin and lies.

Mr. Pack is now running ads saying the current commis-sioners are spending too much and he and his team will bring spending under control and cut taxes. This would be funny if it wasn’t about such an important subject.

Tom Pack works tirelessly at fooling the public. He presided over a 37 percent increase in property tax collections in his 4 years on the board and now criticizes the current board for letting tax collections rise by less than 1%. His only attempt to lower the tax rate was a last minute ploy to lower taxes by $2.50 on a $100,000 house and pay for it from the county’s emergency funds. This was nothing more than political theatre.

I want to explain the tax collection increases for both the current board and the previ-ous. The current board set a tax rate calculated by the county finance department to result

in tax collections for the fiscal year ending 6-30-10 to be the same as the 2009 number. It did increase by $125,000, as a result of new taxable property being listed after the rate was set. This is as explained to me by the finance director.

Mr. Pack and Owens, with Watson and Melton joining for the second two years, had a 37 percent increase over four years in property taxes collected.

They raised the tax rate by 9.24 percent and they were in office during the housing bubble when subdivisions were being developed all over Polk County. Part of the growth in collections was due to the tax rate increase and the rest was growth in taxable values with tax collections rising by $3.75 million a year. When subdivisions are being de-veloped, the taxable value of the property increases. For example at Bright’s Creek alone, the tax collections went from about $12,000 a year to almost $1,000,000. The new subdivisions, that are mostly empty, have added very little to the cost of county government while adding millions to tax collections.

If Pack, Owens, Watson and Melton had just held spending steady, they could have given tax payers a large cut in taxes. Instead they spent every ad-ditional dollar and didn’t cut taxes by one cent. Tax collec-tions went up by over $900,000 a year for the four years prior to the Walker, McDermott and Gasperson tax cut.

Quite a contrast and yet Pack and Owens now are run-ning ads saying “a return to ethical and fiscal responsibil-ity.” What a joke!

Watson and Melton were busy spending your money for two years although now they’ll claim to be part of the group who lowered the tax rate.

Why are Pack, Watson and Melton fighting so hard to get control? Is it for the $6,100 per year salary? Think about it.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

During this time of year, there’s a refreshing nip in the air. There’s also a familiar, but unwelcomed sign that Winter’s not too far off. “Flu season.” The peak of flu season usually occurs anywhere between No-vember and March.

Flu (Influenza) is a respira-tory illness whose symptoms include cough, fever, runny nose, gastrointestinal distress (upset stomach, cramps, vom-iting, or diarrhea), sore throat, body aches, headache and chills.

Each year in the U.S. alone, over 200,000 people are hospi-talized with flu related symp-t o m s , a n d about 36,000 die from those same symp-toms. Influ-enza is usually spread one of two ways.

One way is by “respiratory droplets” that are propelled from person to person through coughing or sneezing (by the way, these droplets can travel up to 3 feet from a cough or sneeze).

The other way is by touching these respiratory droplets from an infected person, either on another person, or on an object, and then touching one’s own nose, mouth, or eyes. I per-sonally recommend that most healthy folks take the seasonal influenza vaccine.

Here’s a list of those who should take the vaccine, and those who should not.

Those who should: Pregnant women, all children over the age of 6 months, people 50 years and older, people any age with chronic health condi-tions, people who live in long term care facilities, like nursing homes, and people who are in contact with and care for others who are at high risk for compli-cations from flu, like healthcare workers and care givers to chil-dren, and the elderly.

Those who should “not” take the influenza vaccine: People who have had a severe reaction to the vaccine in the past, people who are allergic to chicken eggs, those who have developed a condition called “Guillian-Barre Syndrome” (GBS) within 6 weeks of get-ting the vaccine, children less than 6 months of age (not ap-proved for children less than 6 months), and people who are ill with a fever (they should wait until they recover).

Some people worry that they’ll get the flu from the flu vaccine…they can’t, because the flu vaccine contains killed

viruses. The “nasal” flu vac-cine contains weakened vi-ruses, but can’t

give the flu to a healthy indi-vidual. It does take about 2 weeks for a person who’s had the flu vaccine to be protected, so if exposed to the flu from someone else, within that time, one could still get the flu.

Now while it’s true that I do recommend to take the seasonal influenza vaccine, it is equally true that I am even more an advocate of naturally boost-ing one’s own immune system. A strong immune system is by far and away the best way to fight off the numerous microbi-als that attack our bodies every minute of every day. Diet or fitness question?

Flat Rock Playhouse salutes Neil Simon with ‘The Prisoner of Second Avenue’

Flat Rock Playhouse presents Neil Simon’s award-winning comedy “The Prisoner of Sec-ond Avenue” onstage October 27 through November 21. This bittersweet comic masterpiece follows a New York couple unraveling under the pressures of city life. Mel Edison is a re-cently unemployed ad man who is driven to the brink of a nervous breakdown by New York City liv-ing. In an attempt to escape from a garbage strike, nosy neighbors and an unreliable air conditioner in the middle of a heat wave, Mel and his sympathetic wife Edna visit his brother in the country. Unfortunately, the dark cloud of tribulation seems to follow Mel in this comic nightmare.

Mel simply can’t believe that his career is over, especially when he’s nowhere near the age of retirement. Also, he’s from the old school where the wife stayed at home while the husband goes out and provides for the fam-ily. When Edna goes to work it causes Mel’s downward spiral to escalate. His perfect world continues to crumble making him hostile towards everyone; his family, friends, his wife, the up-stairs neighbor and Mel’s desire to get even increases.

The playhouse production of “The Prisoner of Second Av-enue” will be directed by Paige Posey, who proves to be a multi-faceted artist, as she’s not only directing but also playing a role in the show. Continuing the stan-dard of mixing the professional artistry of local performers with those based regionally and out of NYC, the playhouse has cast Jane Bushway, Peter Thomas-son, and Saundra Cuyler – actors who have long standing ties to Henderson County. Introducing to the Flat Rock audience is Ken Krugman, who will play Mel Edison, and Trish Gorman, who plays his wife, Edna.

One of America’s favorite playwrights, Neil Simon has been relieving audiences of their

anxieties, fears, and worries by making them laugh at their own foibles for almost 40 years. Simon’s numerous Broadway successes have led to his work being among the most regularly performed in the world. He has written almost 30 plays and holds the record for the greatest number of hits in the American theater. He has had more plays adapted to film than any other playwright, and additionally has written nearly a dozen original film comedies. He helped define television comedy during its legendary early days.

Executive Director Lifestyle Homes of Distinction & Pru-dential Lifestyle Realty presents “The Prisoner of Second Avenue” onstage October 27 through No-vember 21. Flat Rock Playhouse is located at 2661 Greenville Hwy in Flat Rock, N.C. Evening performances are Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and matinee performances are most Wednesdays, Thursdays, Satur-days and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased by calling the playhouse box office at 828-693-0731, toll-free at 866-732-8008 or online at www.flatrockplayhouse.org.

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

The Foothills Humane Soci-ety is once again slam packed with animals, it seems for the past few months for every ani-mal we safely place, two more come in.

When I arrived at work this past Friday, I noticed for the third week in a row every single dog run on the adoptable side was doubled up and a few oth-ers on the quarantined side who were also adoptable. Our puppy and small dog room was full, not to mention an overabundance of cats and kittens. I grabbed the inspection sheet and opened the doors leading to the kennels to begin our daily evaluation on the status of our dogs. I was greeted by a thunderous roar of the barks and yips that was deafening. “Alright kids, I’ll get to you,” I shouted, but the noise just grew louder. “Uncle Lennie, Uncle Lennie,” I began to hear through the din. “What is it?” I said, stop-ping in my tracks. “You haven’t told a story about any of us in a long time.” “I tell lots of people about you kids all the time,” I replied, “besides you have loads of volunteers and staff working on your behalf, the kids I’ve been writing about are in deeper need right now than all of you.” “Please Uncle Lennie, we’re afraid people will forget about us.” “Alright,” I answered, ‘but there are so many of you, whom shall I write about?” It went quiet for a moment, then in unison I heard, “Abby!” “Good choice kids, Abby is a sweet girl. I’m proud of all of you because I know you need forever homes too.”

Abby is a sweet little blond Lab mix who just celebrated her first birthday. She came to us as an owner turn-in, which unfortunately is occurring far too often nowadays. She arrived in early July at 10 months old so she’s recently had her first birth-day. She is a bit shy at first, but once she knows and trusts you,

The Adopt-a-thon featuring Abby

she’s a lover. One of her favorite things is to hang outside while her cage mate, “Uno”, stays in when I’m trying to get her in to clean her area. She knows I’ll come around and get her and she waits by the gate with a smile

on her face. She gently allows me to lead her back in but not before I love her up and give

her my customary kiss between the eyes, which was her plan in the first place. She gets along fine with other dogs, “Right kids?” “Oh yes, Uncle Lennie, she’s our friend.”

“Listen kids, we’re going to have an adopt-a-thon on Satur-day the 23rd and we’ll be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. You all have to promise to stay awake because they’ll be lots of volun-teers and your special handlers to tell folks about you. I’ll be there myself for a few hours to tell anyone who wishes, to give you a forever home and all about you.” “Thank you Uncle Lennie.” “Okay kids, can I go to work now?” “We love you Uncle Lennie.” “I love you all too, don’t you kids ever doubt that.”

Thanks for listening.P.S. I know you wish to re-

main anonymous, but thank you, Joe C,., for your continued and very generous support, because of you and your dear wife, many lives have been saved.

Terwilliger featured at October Friends of Polk County Library program Oct. 28

The October program of the Friends of Polk County Library will feature local photographer Cynthia Terwil-liger. Terwilliger will speak about her experiences visiting and photographing many dif-ferent waterfalls of Western North Carolina. The pro-gram will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday, October 28, in the Community Room of the Polk County Library in Columbus. Her topic is titled “Waterfalls: A Spiritual Experience.” The program will last about an hour with time for questions from the audience.

Terwilliger resides in Tryon, from where she visits much of the Blue Ridge Mountains, capturing their beauty digitally and on film. Here are some com-ments made by others about her photographic talents: “Cynthia is a self-taught photographer” with a “keen eye for composition” and a “feeling for the beauty and symmetry in nature.” Starting in 1969 she used 35 mm format primarily, and added the digital format in 2005, which she uses with equal expertise.

She has a B.S. in education from Northern Illinois University and a

master’s degree in library and infor-mation studies from the University of Michigan. She taught school for several years and often incorporated her photography into her classes of English and social studies.

Her presentation will consist of speaking about many of her experi-ences, as well as showing some of her photographs and a brief video covering 70 different waterfalls from Linville Falls in Linville, N.C., to six local falls that can be easily accessed.

Liars and taxesTo the Editor:

Ray Gasperson says, “Since 2009, because of a tax decrease, the taxpayers of Polk County saved over $1,500,000 in property taxes. The Association of County Com-missioners declared this as the greatest decrease in all 100 North Carolina counties.”

Tom Pack accused Mr. Gasper-son of lying at the last county commissioner meeting, saying that county revenues increased, therefore the tax rate must have increased.

There are, of course, a number of reasons why the revenues may have increased that are not related to the tax rate. First of all, the tax base grew. Second, tax collection

became more efficient. For exam-ple, some people who owned boats, and even airplanes, were not paying the legally required property taxes on them. Now they are. There are, of course, further reasons.

The point is that Mr. Gasper-son is telling the truth. And we are privileged to live in a county that is solvent and financially well managed during these economi-cally challenging times. The cur-rent board deserves accolades, not negative criticism, for their fiscal management.

The question is: does Mr. Pack really believe in his faulty reason-ing, that increased revenues must equal increased taxation, or is he knowingly deceiving us? Either way, it brings his qualification for county commissioner into serious question.

Kids @ FENCE Fall Festival held October 31 to highlight Project FENCE

Sunday, October 31, FENCE will host its annual Kids @ FENCE Fall Festival from 1 to 5 p.m. The event will include carnival games, treats, a rock climbing wall, a giant slide, a maze, a parent resource center, the Polk County Sheriff’s Of-fice will conduct a hands-on demonstration of the dangers of texting while driving, spon-sored by Carolina Golf Cars, a fire safety presentation with the smoke house and costume contests throughout the day. Free family events at FENCE are made possible by a grant from the Kirby Fund at the Polk County Community Founda-tion.

The FENCE board of direc-tors and staff have worked for 26 years to fulfill its mission to provide facilities and focus for education, recreation and preservation in nature studies and equestrian activities with the aim of enhancing these en-deavors to enrich the quality of life for the community.

One of the ways in which FENCE fulfills its mission is through its primary commu-nity outreach program, Project FENCE (Friends Enjoying Na-ture Chemistry and the Environ-

ment). This nature and science education component was cre-ated several years ago to reach elementary school students in Polk County.

Because of the high success of and interest in the project, Project FENCE has expanded its scope to Rutherford, Hender-son, Spartanburg and Greenville counties. During 2009-2010, 9,900 students participated in the education programs.

Each program FENCE offers is a two part series. The first section brings FENCE to the classroom. Project FENCE’s education coordinator arrives at the classroom with educa-tion boxes to provide an hour of curriculum based lessons in one aspect of the sciences. Each presentation is a hands-on learn-ing experience for the students and has been created to meet all North and South Carolina curriculum guidelines.

The second part of each les-son is held at FENCE. Lessons shared in the classroom are brought to life on the prop-erty through hikes on the trails, around the 2½ acre pond and hands-on sessions in the nature classrooms.

Project FENCE encourages

a diverse array of people by marketing to all public, private, parochial and home school chil-dren in the region to attend their sessions. No one is charged to attend a Project FENCE pro-gram, even though organizers estimate a per student cost of $3. FENCE fundraising, events, grants and sponsors ensure that no student will be denied the opportunity to learn about en-vironmental concerns, steward-ship and growth management of FENCE’s pristine natural properties.

One of the primary objec-tives of Project FENCE is to offer science education to stu-dents from kindergarten through high school. Attracting students from year to year and building on the lessons from years past is important in building a long lasting interest in our environ-ment and maybe, produce some budding scientists and thinkers. A second objective of Project FENCE is to teach young peo-ple about their responsibilities to the world around them.

For more information or tick-ets to the Kids @ FENCE Fall Festival, contact FENCE at 828-859-9021 or www.fence.org.

www.TommyMelton.com Unpresidential...To the Editor:

A few days ago, in one of his campaign speeches for a congres-sional candidate, President Obama accused the Republicans or (the other side) as he calls us, of “count-ing on Democrats to stay home” (from the polls on November 2nd, that is); of “counting on young people to stay home; of count-ing on blacks to stay home”. Mr. President, that is not only very unpresidential of you, it simply isn’t true.

We Republicans, (the other side) are not “counting” on Democrats, of any description, to do anything. We’ve had enough of “Hope and Change”. The only Hope we’re looking forward to now is the Hope that we can Change all the harm you’ve done, Mr. President.

We’re not “counting” on Demo-crats staying home in November, we’re “counting” on Republicans coming out and going to the polls. No, let me rephrase that. We’re “counting” on Republicans, Inde-pendents and Democrats who were “short-changed” in 2008, going

We’re “counting” on knowl-edgeable and concerned people de-manding that this debacle we sadly call “Obamacare” be repealed so that our seniors may still afford the care they need. We’re “counting” on smart and savvy taxpayers say-ing, “enough already – you can’t squander any more of my money”. And we’re “counting” on entrepre-neurial businessmen saying, “Get out of my way government and let me show you how to create jobs”. But I must warn you, it will be some of those nasty “rich people” who will do that job creation.

So don’t you worry, Mr. Presi-dent, we’re not “counting” on (your side) to do anything. Come out or stay home, it doesn’t mat-ter. What we’re “counting” on is the American people waking up and doing the right thing. We’re “counting” on the American peo-ple saying, “You’ve tried hard to ruin my country, but I’m not going to let you do it”. We’re “count-ing” on the American people saving America! In November, the Congress – in 2012, the White House.

Unitarian Universalists meet Oct. 24The Unitarian Universalist

Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center at 10:30 a.m. on Sun-day, October 24. The speaker will be Reverend James D. Johnson. His topic will be “How Is Your Spiritual DNA?”

Johnson asks, “We are becom-ing more and more aware of our physical DNA and its effects on our lives, but what specific thought have we given to our spiritual DNA and its actual and potential effect on our lives? We can’t, of course, study our spiritual DNA under a microscope as we study physical DNA. We have to seek answers and understanding elsewhere. Human beings, from our earliest ancestors to the present, have traveled many long roads seeking to understand who and what we are beyond our physical beings with our physical needs. Over the eons of time we humans have worshipped many

gods as we tried to find answers to the mysteries of life.”

He continues, “Our physical DNA goes back many genera-tions. Our spiritual DNA also has a long process of growth and de-velopment – at least our growth of understanding our spiritual DNA has been a long process. We will explore teachings and declarations of some religions and religious leaders about who we are spiritu-ally and what that may mean for the contents of our spiritual DNA. We will explore ways we can strengthen our spiritual DNA and what it can mean in our lives and the lives of others.”

There will be an open discus-sion following the service. Come early to join in fellowship and refreshments. All are welcome.

For more information call 828-894-5776.

What would Jesus say?To the Editor:

This letter is written in my capacity as a Board member of the Polk County Department of Social Services.

I was out of state on a busi-ness trip and could not attend the AAUW Candidates Fo-rum.

But I’m told that at the Fo-rum, a question was asked about the new DSS building. I was also told that one of the un-affiliated candidates answered that the new building should not be built with room to expand, because “we don’t want to grow welfare”, and that having room to grow implies we “want to grow welfare.” I’m told that the other unaffiliated candidate, and all of the Republican can-didates, “chimed in.”

There are so many things wrong with that attitude. First, to equate the services of the Department of Social Services with simple “welfare” is errone-ous and prejudicial. Yes, DSS helps those who are hungry and without shelter. And in these tough economic times, there’s more need than ever. But DSS does so much more.

DSS assists with foster care and adoptions. It has training classes for those wonderful people who take children into their homes when in need. DSS provides both child and adult protective services. Yes, some-times children or the elderly are abused in their households or are not adequately cared for. DSS is there to help and care for those people in their times of need. DSS works with many of our other public and private agencies to make Polk County a safer, more caring place to live.

No one wants the need for DSS’ services to expand. But as our population expands, and as the tough economic times drag on, it makes no sense to deny the inevitable and, deliberately,

not plan for it. That’s simply bad management and the result of inappropriate prejudice.

To all those unaffiliated and Republican candidates who took this position, I ask the questions: What if Jesus came to you and said I’m hungry? Would you respond, “Too bad, go away, we don’t want to grow welfare?” If Jesus came to you without a place to stay for the night, would you send Jesus away saying “Sorry, it’s against Polk County policy to ‘grow welfare’”?

In fact, that’s exactly what you’re suggesting we do. In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus taught about those who do or don’t provide those in need with food, drink, shelter, and cloth-ing. Those Jesus was teaching asked, “’Lord, when saw we thee [hungry], or [thirsty], or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?’ And Jesus answered them saying, ‘Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.’”

Which path shall we take in Polk County?

Absolute Theatre Company presents ‘The Miracle Worker’

Editor’s Note: The following review of “The Miracle Worker” was submitted by Russ Alderman. Local Joanne Alderman plays Aunt Ev in the show.

It might be reasonable to say that most people today know of Helen Keller, the famous deaf and blind activist for the dis-abled, because of a remarkable play, “The Miracle Worker,” by William Gibson. This is ironic, because “The Miracle Worker” has nothing to do with Keller, the activist, or Keller, the celeb-rity. “The Miracle Worker” is about Keller as a child, and the leading role is that of Annie Sul-livan, Keller’s teacher, the young woman who taught Keller how to communicate and freed her mind from darkness and silence.

“The Miracle Worker” is rightly regarded as a classic of American Theatre. The Absolute Theatre Company marks the 50th anniversary of Gibson’s play with a sparkling production starring some of the finest young (and not so young) actors and actresses in the area under the direction of Katharine S. Brighton.

The cast includes Katie Baker portraying Annie Sullivan. Bak-er’s performance is both heart-rending and intensely physical, as Sullivan wrestles emotionally with her inner demons and physi-cally with the wild, uncontrol-lable, Helen.

Helen Keller is remarkably played by seven-year-old Eliza-beth “Ellie’ Bowen. Like Baker, she is cast in a role that demands excellent acting skills and incred-ible energy. Bowen has both and then some.

Helen’s parents, Captain

Keller and Kate Keller, are most ably portrayed by Jim Slautich and Kathy O’Conner. As a side note, kudos must be given to all the adult actors in this play since they had to perform with no fewer than five child actors and a dog!

The Bowen family seems to be fully committed to this pro-duction. Not only did Elizabeth Bowen play Helen, but Gary Bowen played “the doctor” and Joseph Bowen did an excellent job in his first performance on stage as James Keller.

However, the Bowens aren’t the only family group there: Sky-lan Rayne Thompson was cast as Martha and as “a blind girl,” while Lakelyn Reed Thompson played Percy.

Joanne Alderman was well cast as the peppery Aunt Ev, Mr. Anagnos, Sullivan’s teacher, was well portrayed by Scott Lothrop, Viney was played by LaVern Viola, Casey Brown played a second “blind girl,” and Belle was portrayed by Lilly Von Brighton.

The show has been held over by popular demand for two more performances. They are on Satur-day, October 23 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, October 24 at 3:30 p.m. The box office opens half an hour prior to each performance.

For information call (828) 693-0087. The Absolute Theatre Company performs in an inmate setting in the Skyland Performing Arts Center, (formerly the Sky-land Cinema) which is located at N. Main St. and 6th Avenue in the heart of Hendersonville, across from the Mast General Store.

DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local couple happened upon a skinny little Appaloosa mare in a dirt lot. Her owner no longer wanted to trail ride her; she wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew a few things about horses and decided to take her home with them and find the little mare a new family. Some extra food, good grass and a few trail rides later this couple put an ad up in the local feed store.

At this very same time, a sweet “horse crazy” young girl had convinced her parents to let her take some riding lessons. She caught the bug and now dreamed of having her own horse. After some poking and prodding her parents answered an ad they found at the local feed store: an Appaloosa mare – for sale!

The little girl, whose name is Amanda, met the little mare, who’s name is Nia, and as most dreams happen (when they come true) it was destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take lessons from a local profes-sional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dres-sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country course and stadium jump-ing. They ended up high point!

Carson outdoor painting workshop October 28 - 30

“saluDa corner” By Jim carson

Jim Carson will conduct a “plein air” (outdoor) oil and acrylic workshop, titled “Color/Getting It Right” in Saluda on Thursday through Saturday, Oc-tober 28 through 30.

Appropriate to the beauti-ful colors of the western N.C. fall season, this workshop will concentrate on color harmony, including instruction on mixing the right color for the right spot, and getting the correct, but often subtle, color balance.

The three-day workshop will be held at different outdoor locations each day, and feature demonstrations by the artist and critiques of the student’s work at the end of each day.

The workshop is open to all

levels, from beginners to advanced. The workshop will also focus on simplifying large shapes and apply-ing paint quickly and confidently.

The cost of the workshop in-cludes a “get acquainted” gather-ing at Jim’s studio on Wednesday night, October 27. Also included is a catered lunch brought to the painting site each day by The Saluda Grade Café.

Carson recently received the second place award at the Tryon Painters and Sculptors 13th Re-gional Juried Art Show, for the painting “Saluda Corner.”

For more information about the workshop, visit www.jim-carson.net, call 828-749-3702 or email [email protected].



Clayton will be truly missedTo the Editor:

Yesterday I learned that John Clayton is no longer employed by your newspaper. I have no idea what caused John to leave the TDB, but as a reader for the past seven years of the Tryon Daily Bulletin, I can assure you that for one I

will truly miss his coverage of local sports.

He will be missed by the golfing community and espe-cially Tryon Country Club. He will be sorely missed by his coverage of Polk County School sports in all venues.

John, as one of your read-ers, I wish you a successful future and God speed in every endeavor which you undertake. The TDB will miss him too.

– John Allen Albree

St. Luke’s Rehab offers free balance screening October 28October named National Physical Therapy Month

October is designated as Na-tional Physical Therapy Month. Physical therapists evaluate and treat patients with injury, disease or impairment. Their goal is twofold – ensure patients return to optimal function and prevent future impairments.

In recognition of Physical Therapy Month, St. Luke’s Outpatient Rehab will offer a Fall Risk Screening and Con-ditioning Program using the Biodex Balance SD System on Thursday, October 28, from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. This sys-tem enables the rehabilitation team at St. Luke’s Hospital to perform balance testing and identify fall risk candidates, de-termine ankle and knee status, and determine limits of stabil-ity. This system also provides balance training including sta-bilization exercises and weight shift exercises and activities.

St. Luke’s says it sees many patients because of fall-related injuries. Falls and fall related injuries seriously affect older adults’ quality of life. They also cause painful debilitating injuries for older adults. With the Biodex Balance SD System, St. Luke’s Rehab therapists can identify and modify the factors that lead to falls among older adults.

Certain people are at high risk for accidental falls and should be regularly screened to help reduce the high number of fall-related injuries and deaths in the United States, a new guideline says.

“People need to know that falls are preventable, and there are sim-ple tests to determine if you’re at risk of falling,” Scott McDermott, director of rehabilitation services

said. “It’s important to discuss falls, since some people can face serious life consequences after falling. These include disability and loss of independence which may be averted only through fall prevention.”

“Physical therapy is the evalu-ation, treatment, and prevention of disability, injury, and disease using physical, mechanical, and chemical treatments,” explains McDermott. “Treatment may include ultrasound, massage, therapeutic activities, joint mobi-lization, therapeutic exercise and neuromuscular re-education.”

The primary goal of physical therapy is to relieve pain and to restore optimal movement and function. Specific physical ther-apy objectives can include:

• Minimize pain and swelling;• Promote healing;• Restore joint range of motion;• Increase muscle strength and

endurance;• Decrease muscle spasm;• Increase coordination and

function;• Correct gait and postural

deviations;• Patient and family education.St. Luke’s Hospital’s physical

therapists can treat a wide variety of problems from non-surgical to surgical, including: joint replace-ments (hips, knees, shoulders); neck and back injuries; shoulder problems (fractures, surgeries, rotator cuff tears, tendonitis); muscle sprains and strains; gait and balance safety training to restore independence; neurologi-cal problems such as strokes and Parkinson’s Disease.

For more information about the benefits of physical therapy or to schedule a free balance screening, call 828-894-8419. St. Luke’s Hospital Outpatient Rehabilitation Center is located at 799B West Mills Street in Columbus.

Want to take a walk?To the Editor:

This morning I had the plea-sure of a walk around the track at Harmon field. I resisted walk-ing when I first thought of it, It is cold, it is breezy , my feet will hurt and I will be breathing heavy; were all excuses that I had to cut through to make it happen . I need to walk each day (even though I don’t walk most days), because I am blessed with a warm house and television, a warm office to work from and an abundance of good food. I love all these things so I have to walk.

I finally worked up my deter-mination and began stretching, then started the slow walk to begin my journey. I planned to walk about a mile. With the first step, the breeze blew through the leaves of the trees lining Harmon field road and urged me on with a chorus “Ahhh Yes.” My scowl that had worked its way up to my face from all the thoughts of an upcoming unpleasant experience began to melt. I took some more steps and rounded the first turn and heard the birds singing and watched the killdeer zig-zagging across the soccer field scolding me for disrupting their morning breakfast of worms and grass crit-ters. By the time I completed the first lap my thoughts moved to the upcoming Foothills CROP Walk.

Being a CROP Walker, supporter and organizer for many years I have few facts that are embed-ded in my head. As I reached the half mile lap breathing heavily, I contemplated the children and women in Africa who walk miles to carry home the 3-5 gallons of water they use per day. No time in most countries of the world for education of the children, they are hauling water or boiling it because it maybe contaminated. 200 million hours spent each day collecting and processing water. Most people in developing coun-tries use less water per day than I flush down the toilet in one use (4-7 gallons).

As I walked on I thought of all the folks who are displaced by wars and disasters and the miles

they walk to find a safe place to sleep out in the cold. I thought;”I walk because I am too fat, and too sedentary, because I am blessed, they walk just to exist. I keep walking and the steps seemed lighter and before I knew it I had walked a mile and a half. I began to see the blessings around me the sight, sounds, smells the good mornings of fellow walkers and runners, this was actually a blessing. How about it? Want to take a walk? The Foothills CROP Walk begins 2 p.m. at Harmon Field, Sunday, November 7 contact your church, class, club or business representative and find out how you can share the blessings of walking and change the world.

Book Review: ‘Lost Rights’ by David HowardIf you enjoy a true story

that includes history, mystery, and intrigue this is the book for you. It traces a stolen original Bill of Rights epic passage over 138 years. Plundered from North Carolina during the Civil War, it moves from an Indiana family through the fascinating world of both antiques and rare documents.

It details some of the unscru-pulous practices in these areas and the necessary steps to verify the authenticity of a true original document. Finally, it describes a fascinating FBI sting that traps several shady dealers playing

for high stakes. The book ends with the return of the document to its rightful owner, the state of North Carolina.

In addition to the details of the document’s jour-ney, it points out

the poor practices of various state archivists, and the little attention that many state administrations have given to preservation of key historical documents.

The author has successfully combined history and a crime story into an intriguing, enter-taining and educational book.

The book is available at La-nier Library, 72 Chestnut St. Try-

Dr. Gordon Schneider (left) visited the Tryon Kiwanis Club to speak about the new Wellness Center, an outpatient facility that provides mental health services to anyone, regardless of ability to pay. The center uses the recovery model (“walk with somebody”) to help people utilize their strengths to come up from weakness. Also, through a contractual arrangement with the Polk County school system, therapists can help school counselors when they are overloaded with the needs of students. Above, club president David Little thanked Dr. Schneider for his presentation. The children’s book “When You’re NOT Looking” will be given to a local school in his honor. (photo submitted)

Hendersonville Community Band presents ‘Fall Colors’ concert Oct. 24

It isn’t news to local residents that North Carolina mountains are well-known for spectacular fall colors. Hendersonville Com-munity Band will present its own “Fall Colors” on Sunday afternoon, October 24 at 3 p.m., in Blue Ridge Conference Hall at Blue Ridge Community College in Flat Rock.

Conductors Fern Barber and Walter Moore will direct a pro-gram of Broadway tunes, a tango, symphony overtures and marches. All the colors of concert band music.

“The Liberty Bell March” by John Philip Sousa is a rousing opener for a lively program. Selec-tions from Walt Disney’s “Mary Poppins” by Richard and Robert Sherman continues the upbeat tempo. Originally a 1964 musical film with Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, “Mary Poppins” is now playing on Broadway. HCB conductor Walt Moore reminds the audience, “Surely you’ll re-member ‘supercalifragilisticexpi-alidocious.’”

The mood changes with Leroy Anderson’s “Blue Tango.” The concert band continues with “Fi-nale from Symphony in F Minor No. 4” by Tschaikowsky and

closes the first half with “March of the Steel Men” by Charles S. Belsterling.

After intermission Fern Barber opens with the “Second Suite in F for Military Band” by Gustav Holst. The euphonium section is featured in its opening march.

According to conductor Barber, “Every section of the concert band is challenged in the first movement of Vittorio Giannini’s ‘Symphony No. 3.’” Choirs of clarinet, French horn, trumpet and trombone are featured in this piece.

Halloween comes to mind with the ominous sounds of “March to the Scaffold” from “Symphonie Fantastique” Op. 14 by Berlioz, transcribed by Erik Leidzen. It ends with an eerie, final sound of despair from the solo clarinet.

HCB’s “Fall Colors” closes with “Under the Double Eagle,” by J.F. Wagner. Although not his composition, John Philip Sousa called this march a favorite.

Advance tickets for Fall Colors are available from band members, Laurel Park Wine Market and the visitors information center. Tickets will also be available at the door. Information at 828-696-2118.



Being preparedTo the Editor:

It was with some interest that I watched the Q&A between Con-gressman Heath Shuler and his wannabe replacement, Jeff Miller, on WLOS Thursday night. Mr. Miller admitted he had not read the Cap-and-Trade law to which he was opposed, but he had read (inaudible)--probably the TeaPas-try cherry-picked talking points. Congressman Shuler, on the other hand, had read the entire bill--which is why he supported it.

When it came to the gigantic Healthcare bill, Mr. Miller seemed surprised that Congressman Shuler had read it, which had taken some 12 hours to read--counting time

to reflect One assumes that the Republican opponent, again, had not read the entire bill, but only the TeaParty cherry-picked talk-ing points.

Do the citizens of the 11th Congressional District really want a Congressman representing us--and passing bills into laws--when he cannot even be bothered to read the documents in question? Can we truly rely on him to rep-resent our interests adequately when he cannot be bothered to be fully informed on bills and laws to which he claims to object? Or do we want a Congressman who takes the time to be fully informed on the issues?

It is with great eagerness that I look forward to hearing more from these gentlemen.

Medical costs bear close scrutinyTo the Editor:

Everyone is concerned about the spiraling costs of medicine. It’s not only the cost of medical insurance but also the cost of provider services.

I have been a strong sup-porter of the care and services of St. Luke’s Hospital for many years and have written letters to the TDB stating the excellent treatment I received as a patient. I take particular interest in our local hospital because it’s very important to have a medical center close by. It draws more doctors to our area and provides good jobs to the community. I consider St. Luke’s a member of our community so my dis-cussing the following situation is done with a great deal of trepidation.

Recently a family member had a routine screening pro-cedure at St. Luke’s Hospital. The service was excellent, the cost was not. After receiving a bill with no detailed explana-tion on the costs I decided to look into the matter further. I was told the hospital does not provide detailed cost informa-tion unless you request it. So I requested the data and now I understand why detailed costs are absent with the bill. I felt the costs were outrageous, just my opinion of course. So I decided to gather cost data from other hospital facilities with a 100 mile radius of St. Luke’s. I also gathered data from hospitals in major metropolitan areas such as Raleigh, New York City and Los Angeles. To my surprise St. Luke’s charges, excluding the surgeons fee, were 2 to 3 times higher than other hospitals high-est cost category, not average cost. On closer scrutiny of St.

Luke’s costs I was astounded to find that the cost for anesthesiol-ogy was twice what the surgeon charged, over $2000, and there were other costs that looked excessive. The total bill, sans surgeons fee, was over $5000.

Based on my findings I de-cided to go to hospital ad-ministration to see how they could justify their costs for this medical procedure. Typically when you call Administration you are sent to a recording and told to leave a message and they would get back to you in 48 hrs.. So I persisted my calling to get though and asked to talk to the department manager who set up a meeting to discuss my concerns. She had no explana-tion and asked that I give her 5 days to research the bill and she would get back to me. Five days passed and not even a phone call. On the morning of 10th day I went to the hospital since I didn’t want to leave a message

and wait another 48 hours for someone to call me. The man-ager was in a meeting and told her assistant to tell me that she would call me in the afternoon. After staying home all afternoon waiting for the call that never came, I called her. I got her voice mail and since it was obvious I wasn’t going to talk to her I decided it was a waste of time pursuing the matter further.

The lesson I learned from this particular experience is that you should shop around for the most reasonable price for your pro-cedure. I did that, after the fact, and found 2 hospitals within 25 miles that would have done the procedure for less than half the cost of St. Luke’s. Although this appears to be good news, it saddens me to possibly not to use St. Luke’s in the future just based on cost. Cost isn’t every-thing but a cost factor of 2 to 3 times can be a show stopper.

More than 60 Polk high and middle school cross country team members, parents and community enthusiasts participated in the 23rd Annual trek up White Oak Mountain Monday, Oct. 4. (photo submitted)

No matter how many times you are a part of the trek up White oak Mountain, it is an amazing, rewarding feat, participants say. smiles, tears of pain and joy and a sense of determination accompa-nied participants and spectators this year as always.

the 23rd annual trek up White oak Mountain held Monday, oct. 4 sent more than 60 participants – polk high and middle school cross country team members, parents, and community enthu-siasts – up the ascent from 1,100 feet elevation to over 3,084 above sea level in just three miles.

participants completing the run without any walking earn the coveted “I conquered White oak Mountain” t-shirt, sponsored

Polk High runners tackle White Oak Mountain

this year by kiveo. the teams celebrated their accomplishments with a pasta dinner at polk Coun-ty Middle school october 11.

the pCMs and pCHs coaching staff members say they are proud of each runner attempting the chal-lenge and appreciate the support

and refreshments at the top of the mountain. they say this run serves as a “confidence builder” for the teams and it never disappoints.

Polk, Mt. Heritage co-conference volleyball championsthe Lady Wolverines volley-

ball team defeated Henderson-ville 3-2 last week. the win made the team co-conference cham-pions with Mountain Heritage. Because Mountain Heritage beat polk during the regular season, polk will get the #2 seed in the play-offs.

accord-ing to head coach Heath-er Claussen, Henderson-ville played much better t h i s t i m e than the last time polk played them, when polk defeated Hen-dersonville in three games.

Mountain Heritage lost to Hendersonville twice, but beat polk County us twice, but we beat Hendersonville twice (Hender-sonville also lost to owen twice and avery once.

“their blocking was on and their big hitters were on but we managed to play up to our level as well and never quit, even when we were behind,” Claussen said. “our team fought like champions, which is something we’ve been

focusing on this season and it gives me a lot of confidence going into p l a y o f f s . We w e r e able to ad-just to what they were doing with-

out changing the things that we do well.”

polk County’s first playoff game will be at home this sat-urday. the time is yet to be decided.JV team

polk’s JV volleyball team ended its season on a great note

as well, beating Hendersonville in two games. the team lost only one conference game this year, which should secure polk’s spot as JV conference champs.

“this group of girls worked together great and really got out what they put into the season,” Claussen said. “First year coach Krista overholt did an exceptional job with them and I saw tons of improvement

throughout the year.”Alumni game

polk County held an alumni volleyball game on saturday, oct. 16. the alumni won the first and third game against the varsity.

“they really wanted to win and they played well together,” Claussen said. “We had a great turnout, and it was a lot of fun for both teams.”

IT NEVER HURTS TO KEEP AN EYE ON ELECTED OFFICIALS!

october 18, 2010 at the BoC meeting, our Commissioners voted 4 to 1 to sign a contract for the new dss building to be built at a price of $1.85 million dollars. Now they are going to start searching for financing from a bank or banks to cover the loan. When i was a child this type behavior was called “getting the cart before the horse.”

I have always had to secure financing prior to signing the contract, but then i don’t have the power to raise taxes to cover my lack of financial judgment.

Bark in the parkTo the Editor:

Kaya, our dog hero, and her family, have put this event to-gether to help my “kids” for which they and I are extremely grateful. I am once again hum-bled by the amount of people and organizations who have stepped up to offer their support. I’m especially pleased by the chil-dren who plan to attend. This will be such a joyous event and I thank the Lord for all who open their hearts and wallets for those who do not have a voice. If you haven’t come on board, there is time, it will take place at Harmon Field, Saturday, November 13th between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

This will be such a great time to have a reunion of sorts. There are many of my “kids” that I haven’t seen for quite a while and this would be the perfect venue for them. If you can, please bring them and their stories, not only for me but to share with others.

Perhaps you could even get some sponsors for a trip or two around Harmon Field. Please pass the word, I and all my future “kids” will be eternally grateful. If your animals are reluctant, tell them “Uncle Lennie needs some sugar.”

– Leonard Rizzo

Manfred Walter has been honored for his volunteer work in the community with member-ship in the Second Wind Hall of Fame. Carolina Community Chorus president Art Brown and Tuba Christmas organizer Stan Howell presented Walter with the certificate of membership.

Walter lives in Mill Spring and is active in numerous com-munity organizations. He sings bass with the chorus and plays euphonium with the Hender-sonville Community Band and Polk County’s Tuba Christmas. He also sings with his church choir and is a member of the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center’s “Home for the Holi-days” group.

When Walter is not mak-ing music, he volunteers his time to Habitat for Humanity,

where he is a member of the board, and with the Pacolet Area Conservancy and Thermal Belt Outreach. He is active with his church, serving as the vice presi-dent of the church council. He also participated in the church’s outreach program in New Or-leans and locally.

Walter has even found time to volunteer with the schools, helping Polk Central School develop a nature area. He also joined North Carolina’s “Adopt a Highway” program.

Walter hails from Faurndau, Germany, but has lived in the United States since 1961, in New York and Wisconsin before moving to Mill Spring in 2002. He and his wife, Christel, have three children and five grand-children.

Your Assets

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Keeping Documents Safe

Q. Where should I keep my estate planning documents?a. In North Carolina only the original will may be presented for probate. Lack of an original will causes problems and administrative delays at the very least and for that reason, your will should be secured in a safe place. a bank safe deposit box may not be the best place since banks may seal the box upon your death. Many clients prefer their attorneys store the will to assure its availability for probate and they retain a copy for their records. If you do this, make sure the copy of your will bears a legend stating where the original may be located. More than one trust agreement may be executed; duplicate or even triplicate originals may be stored in different locations. It is never a good idea to write on or attempt to revise your documents. Later entries on a will or trust create uncertainty with respect to the intent of the creator requiring lengthy court proceedings to resolve. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques. sass-032291

Dear Savvy Senior,I’ve read that Uncle Sam

recently developed some new programs that can help early retirees who aren’t yet eligible for Medicare, as well as high-risk uninsured people. What can you tell me about this?

Wanting To RetireDear Wanting,For early retirees who aren’t

old enough for Medicare and who can’t afford or don’t qual-ify for an individual health insurance policy, help is now available through two new pro-grams. Here’s what you should know.

Early Retirement HelpIf you’re looking at retiring

before you’re eligible for Medi-care, the federal government recently developed a temporary new program called the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP) that may help you keep your employer’s health coverage.

As part of the health care re-form law, this new program will dole out $5 billion to employers – public, private and nonprofit – to help offset their costs of providing health care coverage for their early retirees ages 55 to 64 and their families. The program began in July and will continue until Jan. 1, 2014 when health insurance reform kicks in. At that point you’ll be able to buy affordable health insurance from insurance exchanges, and you can’t be turned down for pre-existing health conditions. Ask your benefits manager or human resources department

about the ERRP. If, however, your employer

is not offering early-retiree health coverage, you may be able to purchase an individual or family policy if you’re healthy (see healthcare.gov or ehealth-insurance.com to search for policies and costs), or if your health isn’t so good, you can use the COBRA law.

Under COBRA, companies that employee 20 or more work-ers must let employees – after they leave the job – continue the same group coverage for themselves and their families for up to 18 months. But, it’s very expensive. You’ll have to pay the full monthly premium yourself, plus a 2 percent ad-ministrative fee. If you have COBRA coverage for at least 18 months (with no breaks in coverage for 63 days or more), you’ll then qualify for rights under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), another law that gives you the right to buy individual health insurance that doesn’t exclude or limit coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. Contact your state insurance department (find the number at naic.org) or visit coverageforall.org for details.

High-Risk PlansThe second new government

program you should know about is the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP). This program helps people who have

pre-existing medical conditions that have been unable to get af-fordable health insurance.

The PCIP, which is also a result of health care reform, started in July and will run to 2014. To be eligible you must be a U.S. citizen or be residing here legally, be uninsured for at least six months, and show that you have had a problem getting insurance due to a pre-existing condition.

Currently, 35 states already offer high-risk health insur-ance pools (see naschip.org) to their residents with pre-existing conditions who can’t get cov-erage, but it’s very expensive with premiums costing up to 200 percent the cost of private insurance.

The new PCIP, which is available in every state, will run alongside the existing state pools but will provide better and more affordable coverage. While premiums will vary by state and are age-adjusted, those enrolled in a PCIP won’t pay more than a healthy per-son would pay in that state. A 50-year-old, for example, may pay between $320 and $570 per month. For more information on how the PCIP works in your state or to apply, go to pcip.gov or call your state department of insurance.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visi t SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
