Telemedicine project could improve access to care

by Samantha Hurst

Harmon Field plays the back-drop to dozens of artisans this weekend as they converge for the Tryon Arts & Crafts fourth-annual fall festival.

TAC will present the festival Oct. 15-16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

TAC Senior Director Julie McIntyre said the festival dis-plays the best of what is taught and produced through Tryon Arts and Crafts.

“This is a great opportunity for us to showcase our school – many of the people who are exhibiting are instructors and many others are people who take classes,” McIntyre said. “It’s really to promote the school and

Saluda Medical Center (SMC) supporters and staff are looking to technology to more closely connect underinsured patients with doctors.

The telemedicine project could connect individuals with specialty

doctors without the need to sched-ule new appointments – the entire consultation could be conducted via the Internet. All the center needs are laptops and web cameras.

“It’s the wave of the future,” said SMC Administrator Amy Co-

peland. “It’s been a really big push in mental health because of the shortage of mental health doctors in many areas. We’re just hoping to bring it to primary care.”

The Town of Tryon now has its sites on cleaning up four dilapidated structures in the east-side neighborhood.

During Tryon Town Council’s Sept. 27 meeting, fire chief and code enforcer Joey Davis gave an update on four structures in the process of either making prop-erty owners repair or the town demolishing.

Davis also said there are six other parcels the town has iden-tified as not meeting minimum housing code.

The structures currently in violation of the town’s Chapter 152 housing code are 123 Cleve-land Street, a house on Shepherd Street with an unknown address and 351 and 366 East Howard Street.

All property owners have been sent findings of fact and were given until Jan. 13 to bring the structures into compliance.

Town council can make a decision after Jan. 13 whether or not to approve ordinances to demolish any structures.

Councilman Roy Miller has recently expressed concern over several structures, particularly in the Eastside Neighborhood that are dilapidated and are decreasing nearby property values. Miller has said he feels like a mobile home on Rippy Road was de-molished quickly after residents expressed concern and some of the Eastside structures have been on the town’s list for a decade.

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said at the September council meeting that he had the same im-pression as Miller regarding the Rippy Road mobile home at first.

Part of the problem with the Eastside houses is the property owners do not live in the area, some have never lived in the area, town officials said.

Town attorney Bailey Nager

said the Rippy Road structure went through the same 90-day process that any structure has to go through before the town can approve an ordinance to demolish. Once an ordinance is approved, the demolition process can move quickly, Nager said.

Miller suggested in the pro-cess that the town make the property owners at least board up some of the structures due to the dangers.

Town council is scheduled to hear an update on the four struc-tures during its Oct. 18 meeting.

WORLD STRENGTH CHAMP, 53, DEFIES YEARS – NIXES PAINS

St. Petersburg, FL. - Talk about defying getting older; Rick A. Weil, 53, of Largo, Florida has not only held the world record weightlifting bench press of 556 lbs. (unassisted at 181 lbs.) for over 25 years, but is surprisingly a marathon runner as well. Weil says “Running a marathon is fun—a ridiculous stunt.” To solve big pain problems, Weil uses PainMed™ gel on sore muscles. Weil enthusiastically states that it works right away on a stubbornly sore back. PainMed™ is so unique that it holds several U.S. & International patents. Doctor recommended PainMed™ acts quickly and is long lasting. This clear homeopathic gel dries virtually odor free, is stain free, grease free & does not burn!

Weil’s father, who is 80, competes nationally in handball tournaments and gets quick shoulder arthritis pain relief from PainMed™ as well.

to show people what we have to offer.”

The festival will in fact feature more than 40 regional artisans. Grace Metcalf of Mill Spring will be one of several first-time exhibitors.

The 88-year-old has sewn most of her adult life but began creating crazy quilt wall hangings eight years ago. Another featured artist will be Petey Wingo of the Tryon Doll Makers.

Visitors at the event will see artists making pottery, lapidary, jewelry, glass beads, woodturning and weaving, as well as metal-working in the forge throughout both days.

Some demonstrators plan to invite guests the chance to try their hand at the craft.

McIntyre said TAC staff and volunteers hope people attending the festival will become inspired to delve into the arts themselves. During each demonstration there will be a sign-up sheet for pro-

spective students. TAC asks that anyone interest-

ed in learning a particular art form or craft leave their name, contact and information about when they would be available to participate in such a course.

“We’re trying to develop new programs to reach more of an audience,” McIntyre said. “We are working to develop programs for homeschool kids and an after-school program, as well as our programs on weekends and at nights to reach people who work.”

The information gathered dur-ing the demonstrations will allow TAC to connect with those inter-ested once new programs become available.

This free two-day public event will be held rain or shine.

All donations collected over the weekend will go to support the mission of Tryon Arts and Crafts School.

The festival is made pos-sible by support from the North Carolina Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Cultural Resources.

Hospice of the Carolina Foothills would like to thank the following people

and businesses for their gracious and generous donations to

“Saddle Up For Hospice”. The event took place at Stone Soup in

Landrum on October 6th. We are also grateful to those who attended

and supported this event.

McFarlands honored for 100 years

to link patients that come into SMC with specialty care needs.

“This saves the patient more time off work, fuel costs and more,” Copeland said. “That’s incredibly important for many of our patients who wouldn’t always make it to those additional appoint-ments.”

The idea to pursue this project all came about, Copeland said, when SMC supporter Don Mintz met a man named Ed Spencer who was carrying out a similar program in South Carolina.

There doctors have provided 8,000 consultations in 30 months.

“It’s been very successful na-tionally and we’ve gone statewide here in South Carolina,” Spencer said. “What we’re trying to do is increase access to good medical care. This works especially well in treatment of cardiac problems, as well as issues resulting from diabe-tes in elderly and small children.”

Working with an individual doc-tor you are required to contract with that doctor, which can get pricey, Spencer said. But a feeder clinic or referring clinic to a hospital is provided consultations or assess-ments free of charge.

“This saves the emergency department money, provides Co-peland and her staff ready access to medical expertise and offers the patient excellent medical care,” Spencer said.

Phase one of the program would put three video units into place – one at SMC, one at Foothills Medi-cal Clinic and one at Pardee Hos-pital, the first partnering hospital.

In phase two, Spencer said organizers are looking at three more clinics working with Pardee and perhaps St. Luke’s Hospital. Spencer said the group would like to have three phases with up to 12 medical centers and three hospitals.

Saluda Medical Center plans to host an event known as “The Saluda Essence of Fall” Oct. 21 at 6:30 p.m. to help raise funds.

This “tablescape” event offers a chance for those interested to show off their decorating skills by purchasing a table to decorate with fall themes. Participants are invited to bring their own place settings, plus a centerpiece to be auctioned off. Prizes will be given for the best decorated tables. Those host-ing a table will be allotted specific decorating times. An additional table setting donated by Pier 1 Imports of Hendersonville will also be auctioned.

Anyone interested in attend-ing the fundraising event can call Kathie Mixon at 828-749-3651 or Linda Whitaker at 828-749-5121 to purchase a table and get details.

A fundraising event for the general operation of the medical center will be held Friday, Oct. 28. The fourth-annual Masquerade Ball will be held at 6:30 p.m. with Jack Roper performing his magic act, costume contest and karaoke.

S.C. 11.1 pct.Spartanburg 11.3 pct.Greenville 9.0 pct.

Polk unemployment rate rises .4 percent in August

Polk County’s unemploy-ment rate rose .4 percent in August, from 7.8 percent in July to 8.2 percent in August, according to the latest figures from the North Carolina Em-ployment Security Commission (ESC).

Statewide, the unemploy-ment picture was mixed in Au-gust. The rate increased in 47 of North Carolina’s 100 counties, decreased in 32 and remained the same in 21.

“Just over half of North Carolina’s 100 counties stayed the same or decreased,” said ESC Chairman Lynn R. Hol-mes. “Looking at this month’s data, it’s clear we must remain focused on assisting our cus-tomers with many services to help them find work in this static economy.”

Currituck County had the lowest rate at 4.5 percent, fol-lowed by Hyde at 6.8 percent, Orange at 7.4 percent, Dare at 7.5 percent and then Chatham at 7.6 percent.

Scotland County had the state’s highest unemployment rate at 17.6 percent, down 0.1 percent from July. Edgecombe County had the second highest rate at 15.1 percent, down 1.2 percent from July.

Polk County’s August rate reflected a .2-percent increase from last August, when Polk’s rate was 8.0 percent.

Henderson County also rose .4 percent in August, from 7.6 percent to 8.0 percent. Rutherford County, however, improved .1 percent, dropping from 14.9 to 14.8 percent.

Statewide, North Carolina’s August unemployment rate (not seasonally adjusted) stayed the same as in July at 10.4 percent. The state’s rate was 1.3 percent higher than the national rate in August, which was 9.1 percent.

Unemployment rates in-creased in 10 of the state’s 14 metropolitan statistical areas in August. The Rocky Mount met-ropolitan area had the highest unemployment rate in August at 13.6 percent. The Durham/Cha-pel Hill area had the lowest rate at 8.2 percent, which increased 0.2 of a percentage point from the previous month. Asheville followed at 8.4 percent.

Polk County had a labor force of 9,170 in August, of whom 751 were on the unem-ployment rolls.

South Carolina’s season-ally adjusted unemployment rate increased from 10.9 per-cent in July to 11.1 percent in August. The state’s labor force increased for the fourth consecutive month, with the total labor force level esti-mated at 2,163,803. There were 1,924,623 employed persons in August, down slightly from the previous month.

Spartanburg County’s job-less rate bucked the statewide trend, dropping from 11.6 per-cent in July to 11.3 percent in August. The rate in Greenville County stayed the same as in July at 9.0, down .5 percent from the 9.5 rate in August 2010.

Recognize our responsibility to spay and neuter pets

Puppy breath. While it conjures up cuddly images of fuzzy litters of animals,

volunteer and staff at the Foothills Humane Society wish they had cause to smell less of it.

The humane society has dealt with an influx of animals - 55 dogs and 75 cats to be exact - filling every extra space in the shelter. FHS found some relief with an emergency adopt-a-thon this past Sunday, Oct. 9, placing 19 dogs and nine cats in forever homes.

But this piece isn’t meant to tout the value of adopting from the humane society or to praise the efforts of volunteers working to save these animals from a fate of living as strays (although that is much appreciated).

This article is intended to point out the ugly truth of the matter; pet owners are not being responsible.

They are instead allowing their animals to breed litter after litter of kittens and puppies that become stray, dumped on the side of the road or surrendered to the humane society.

The burden of overpopulation should be on pet owners, not on the community of animal lovers already struggling to care for so many forsaken animals.

We, as pet owners, are responsible for the increasing pet popula-tion in our community and its time we owned up to it.

Pet owners often claim cost as a roadblock to having their animals spayed or neutered. The humane society and countless vets on oc-casion offer low-cost or even FREE procedures. On top of that the humane society regularly works to trap feral cats in order to fix them.

Other areas of the country have recognized the dilemma of high populations of stray animals. Many cities such as Los Angeles and Las Vegas, as well as areas in the Northeast have gone as far as implementing laws requiring pet owners to have their pets spayed or neutered unless they are licensed breeders.

While we’re not advocating a mandatory law such as those, we are advocating pet owners being proactive and responsible.

Letters to the Editor

St. Luke’s like a different hospital

To the Editor:Having had three joint replace-

ment surgeries in the past and learning that it was needed again was a dismal prospect.

The outcome this time was completely different due to three factors: the approach of Dr. Rosenberg that sig-nificantly reduced the pain and increased mobility, the positive changes I experienced at St. Luke’s Hospital and all of the kind and dedicated people that helped me at the phy-sician’s office and the hospital.

The changes at St. Luke’s Hospital were evident to me from the moment I walked through the door and headed for admissions.

Everyone I encountered was ac-cessible, pleasant, informative and supportive. These caring people made my hospital stay much easier.

It was not uncommon to see Mr. Shull stop by the different units to see how things were going.

His concern and involvement with his employees was evi-dent and his actions translated to the staff in telling them how

vital they are to St. Luke’s.What a great community we

live in to have so many fine phy-sicians and now a hospital that is finding a new identity, through excellent leadership, and will be able to grow and prosper for the benefit of all.

- Mary Ellen Krydynski

Letters to the Editor

Helping hands for TPS

To the Editor:One day I was in a

store and saw a clay fig-urine that was fired but not glazed or painted. I took it home with me and painted it.

I then decided I wanted to learn how to sculpt in clay. I contacted Gene Apple who was teaching clay

sculpture at Tryon Painters and Sculptors at the time.

I had the great fortune to learn from Gene for about two years. He

was one of the most creative teachers I’ve ever encountered.

He listened to my needs and found solu-tions to my queries and

made suggestions but allowed me to choose on my own. Gene was also


one of the most generous teachers. He was giving in his ideas as

well as lending me tools and arma-tures he concocted.

On Oct. 4, 2003 he wrote a letter to the TPS president stating that “I will contribute my fee to a scholar-ship fund.” Over the years the Apple Fund grew to a substantial amount.

When TPS moved to its new location, 26 Maple St., Tryon, from TFAC recently, Gene allowed the APPLE FUND to be used to hook up the sculptor’s kiln; knock a wall down; take up the carpet and scrape the glue down to the cement floor.

TPS wants to thank Gene for all that he’s done for our organization and continues to support TPS.

We appreciate all that he’s done and we also appreciate all the donations that have been sent to us from those who appreciate and support TPS.

Anyone interested can contact TPS at 828-859-0141.

Polk football back on top, upending Avery in barnburner

sports 10 Wednesday, oCtoBer 12, 2011 tryon daily Bulletin / the World’s smallest daily neWspaper

by Daniel Hecht

In the sort of wild and woolly shootout one would expect be-tween two highly prolific of-fenses, the Polk County Wolver-ines upended the Avery Vikings Friday night, 51-31. The game, played in front of a large home-coming crowd in Newland, was a thoroughly entertaining affair that featured nine lead changes and a combined 11 touchdowns.

Polk County marked first, drilling a field goal from 25 yards out to put the Wolverines up by three. For the remainder of the first half, the teams traded touchdowns and lead changes.

The battle reached a crescendo in the waning moments of the first half as Polk scored on a screen pass to Cary Littlejohn to go up by 17-14 with just 14 seconds left.

Polk lost that lead 11 seconds later, however, as Avery scored on the final play of the half on a touchdown pass by Alex Villan-ueva that sent the stunned Wol-verines into the visitor’s locker room trailing 21-17.

The extended homecoming halftime gave head coach Bruce Ollis’ team ample time to stew over the situation.

“I’ll say this – for the first time in this season, I felt like our play-ers felt a sense of urgency going into the second half,” said Ollis.

The teams continued to trade body blows, ending the third quarter deadlocked at 31 apiece, but from then on, it was all Polk County, as the Wolverines reeled off 20 unanswered points to notch the key conference victory.

“I felt like, particularly in the fourth quarter, we developed what I like to call a ‘competitive maturity,’” said Ollis.

QB Alec Philpott completed seven passes for 245 yards and rushed for 76 more, including a 42-yard TD run. Cary Littlejohn ran 15 times for 109 yards and four TDs, and added a 36-yard TD reception as well.

Tyler Ridings added a 25-yard rushing TD, and Joel Booker, who was sidelined against Mitch-ell with an ankle injury, roared back with a vengeance, notching seven catches for 209 yards and earning glowing praise from Ollis.

“Joel showed leadership on and off the field – he was verbal, and he played like a champion,” Ollis said.

With the victory, the Wolver-ines improve to 6-2 overall, and are now 3-1 in conference com-petition, a record good enough to propel the team back into first place in the Western Highlands Conference.

Polk has quite a bit of com-pany at the top, however, as a Mitchell victory over previ-ously unbeaten Hendersonville, coupled with an Owen win over Madison, has created an interest-ing four-way deadlock at the top of the heap in the WHC.

“It’s pretty amazing,” re-marked Ollis. “Having four teams in the conference with 3-1 records – I don’t know that it has ever been knotted this tight with just three games to play, so everybody’s still alive.”

This Friday, the Wolverines return home to the Little Big House to lock horns with the winless Gryphons of Thomas Jefferson, as Polk celebrates its homecoming week with a full slate of events beginning with the Wolverine festival.

The Landrum football season continued in dominant fashion on Friday night.

The Cardinals are a fast mov-ing train and don’t seem to be slowing down as they con-tinue down the region road. Landrum beat St. Joseph’s 33-17 to remain unbeaten in region play.

The Cardinals did most of their damage on the ground. Cole McDowell ran for 79 yards and a touchdown.

Quarterback Brandon Cannon ran for 129 yards and passed for 129 yards. He threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Peyton Mc-Carter in the second quarter for Landrum’s first score. He had

a run of 31 yards and 13 yards. M c C a r t e r f i n i s h e d

w i t h 4 1 y a r d s r e c e i v i n g . Aaron Bryant ran for 33 yards and a touchdown.

J a c o b L i n d s e y h a d 2 7 yards receiving and Clark Ed-monds had 31 yards receiving. St. Joseph’s hung tough until the fourth quarter.

In the fourth, the Cardi-nals exploded for 20 points t o p u t t h e g a m e a w a y . The Cardinals will now turn their attention to Southside Christian this Friday night.

A win over Southside Chris-tian and Blacksburg in the next two weeks will set up a region showdown with Christ Church on Oct. 28.

Polk County tennis knocked out Thomas Jefferson Oct. 6 in what Coach Joel Picher said was an upset win over the Gryphons.

“The score (9-0) doesn’t reflect it, but this was a very close match,” Picher said. “For a while, singles was split 3-3 regarding leads, but the girls pulled it out for us. Natalie Hilbig, with her maturity and smart playing, secured a win that was an upset for Thomas Jefferson’s #1.

The first Derby Dash 5K and Fun Walk was hosted at Der-byshire on Saturday, Sept. 17. The 5K and fun walk had over 120 participants and over 200 people gathered for the Derby Dash breakfast.

The Derby Dash 5K and Fun Walk was a fundraiser to benefit the Foothills Humane Society (FHS) and Go Girls, a running club for fourth and fifth grade girls at Polk Central Elementary. Over twenty members of Go Girls participated in a one-mile run. The FHS brought along several dogs that were available for adoption.

The 5K race course took run-ners around the private lake at Derbyshire and onto the eques-trian trails in the community.

Participants took part in a post-race breakfast provided by Good Life Catering of Greenville, S.C.

The overall male winner of the Derby Dash was 30-year-old Curtis Rowe of Columbus, who finished with a time of 19:02.28. Amanda Brodie, 24, of Green-ville, S.C., was the overall female winner with a time of 30:11.13. Full results can be found on the race website, www.Derby-Dash5K.com.

The Derby Dash 5K and Fun Walk raised $1,000 for the FHS and Go Girls. Each group re-ceived a check for $500 to use for

whatever purposes they choose. Derbyshire also donated a pink water bottle, with the Go Girls logo on it, for each member of the running club.

A coach for Go Girls said that they will first be using their money to provide running shoes for those members who do not own a pair. The remainder of the money will be used for race entry fees and for other items for the girls as needed.

One of the dogs who had at-tended the event with the FHS was adopted at the Dash. Porsche has now found a new home with the race director’s sister, Sara Dennis of Greenville, S.C.

Derbyshire officials said they are looking forward to hosting the Derby Dash 5K and Fun Walk again next September.

Brian Carroll, the managing partner for the equestrian themed community, says, “We hope to continue to grow the Derby Dash with even more sponsors, race participants and breakfast guests next year and have set a goal to donate at least twice as much money to the FHS and Go Girls.”

Any questions regarding the Derby Dash 5K and Fun Walk can be sent to the race director, Jennifer Dennis, at [email protected].

This year’s Tot Trot is gear-ing up to motivate kids and families to get moving in a healthy direction.

The second annual Tot Trot, sponsored by Tuesday School, will be held on Oct. 29 at the Red Fox Country Club begin-ning at 8:30 a.m.

Tuesday School is a nonprof-it parent cooperative preschool located in Tryon and is commit-ted to encouraging kids to lead a healthy lifestyle beginning at a young age.

While the two, three and four year-old students are learning reading and science skills, gain-ing friendships and nurturing their creativity, they are also be-ing taught about the importance of good health. Snack times at Tuesday School are an example of this focus, as the kids often munch on fresh fruit and veg-gies, whole grain snacks and cheese or yogurt.

Instead of soda or high sugar beverages, parents are encour-aged to bring fruit juice or water to share with their child’s class.

And when it comes to exer-cise, Ms. Beverly Wilson’s four year-old class is on the right track - literally.

The kids are running straight toward a healthy lifestyle, with a goal for each child to run ten miles this school year. Keeping track of how much they run dur-ing each session is not just a fun activity, but also gives the kids a sense of accomplishment when they meet their goals.

Two-year olds, three-year olds, teachers, parents, family and friends of the school are all invited to take part in this year’s Tot Trot, an annual fundraiser. A 5K race will begin at 8:30 a.m., followed by a 1-mile “Fun Run/Walk.”

Registration begins at 7 a.m. the day of the race, or you may register online at www.strictlyrunning.com. Anyone who registers for the 5K before October 12 will receive a free commemorative t-shirt.

Registration begins for second annual Tot Trot

The kids at Tuesday School invite the public and leashed pets to join them to promote a healthy lifestyle. Costumes are not only welcome, but encour-

aged for this Halloween week-end event. As the children are learning in school, life is about making good choices and it’s good to get moving.

For more information on the Tot Trot, please visit www.tuesdayschool.org.

A Garden Tea Party, sponsored by Synergy in Action, honoring Betsy Milstein was held Tuesday, Aug. 23 at the home of Mary Sum-merford of Tryon. After gracing the community with her smile and lively step for forty years, Milstein is returning to her native England to enjoy life with her son and daughter, their spouses and her four grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.

Milstein spent the first 15 years of her life in England. In 1939, when World War II broke out, her father evacuated Milstein, her brother and their mother to live in Landrum with her grandparents, Dr. Edward Earle Bomar and Nannie Earle Landrum, daughter of Baptist minister Rev. John Gill Landrum, for whom the town of Landrum was named in 1880.

In 1941, while attending Con-verse College, she met Malcom Milstein, a former neighbor and officer in the British Royal Navy, who had come to New York for repairs on his torpedo ship. They were married in Washington, D.C. on Christmas Eve of the same year. In 1942, she returned to England where she lived until the death of her husband in 1972.

Garden tea party for MilsteinFollowing his death, she returned to Landrum to care for her ailing mother, Libby Gilmore. After the passing of her mother, Milstein decided to make Landrum her home.

Milstein is well-known as a Christian woman who is com-mitted to prayer. She has been seen many, many days walking the streets of Landrum praying the blessings of God over its government, churches, schools and businesses.

Synergy in Action, a local agency that provides residential services for developmentally dis-abled children and adults as well as for adults with mental health diagnoses, is one of the many local businesses that has been affected by Milstein’s prayer life.

Kathy Wofford Romich, ex-ecutive administrator of Synergy in Action, says that she “greatly appreciates Milstein’s support for the clients and staff over the years. Although she will be many miles away, we know she will continue to affect our lives because, as Mil-stein says, ‘There is no distance in prayer, dahling.’”

While attending the recent grand opening of the new Dark Corner Distillery in down-town Greenville, where legal moonshine is being produced in authentic formula, several people asked me if whiskey making was ever legal in this mountainous area.

It certainly was.G o v e r n -

m e n t d i s -tilleries dot-ted the Dark Corner area, particularly in years follow-ing the Civil War, in direct competition with moonshiners and blockaders (a fancier way of saying boot-legger) who opted not to pay the government a tax on their product.

Massey Center, brother of Jim and Hol Center, had seen Cavalry service in the Civil War before owning and op-erating a good-sized govern-ment still on the south side of Seed Tick Mountain in the late 1860s and early 1870s. (Seed Tick is on the east side of Glassy Mt. Road, which connects SC 11 with SC 414.) In the early 1880s, he decided to move his family to the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. There is no evidence that he obtained a government permit for any moonshining activity there.

Brother Hol, however, was not a government distiller. He believed in full, free enterprise in the making of moonshine.

In March of 1894, he, along with nephews George R. Center

(my maternal great grandfa-ther), Wade Howard and close neighbors George Farmer, Jack Howard, Shack Howard, Elford Lindsey, William Moon, John Rector and William Ross were brought before a grand jury for selling illegal whiskey.

Prior to this juried action, a r e p o r t reached the G r e e n v i l l e County Sher-i ff ’s o ff ice that Hol Cen-ter had died. Deputy Mar-shal Black did

not believe the claim and pro-ceeded to go to Dark Corner with a bench warrant for his arrest. He found Hol very much alive and arrested him.

They got into the deputy’s wagon to go to Greenville. When they got to a nearby store, Hol remembered he had forgot-ten to tell his wife something and asked permission to step inside the store and leave a note for her. Deputy Black remained outside.

When Hol did not return to the wagon after having had enough time to leave a note, he went inside. He learned that Hol had walked out the back door presumably to return home. Deputy Black returned to Greenville without a pris-oner.

Numerous other Dark Corner residents, one or two prior to Massey Center’s time, oper-ated government distilleries. James McKinney operated one near Tigerville. Others closer to

ment distilleries and moonshine made in free enterprise ones was the proofing. Moonshine was 102 or 103 proof, while whiskey made to government specifications was only 90 to 95 proof.
