came in around 4 p.m. Sunday. The five-year old girl, the daughter of Jackson and sister of Jackson Jr., was sleeping on the pontoon boat while the father and son were fishing. The girl, who was wearing a life jacket, rolled into the water while sleeping. The father jumped (Continued on page 3)

in to save her and did not resurface, according to Atkins. The son then jumped in after his father and also did not resurface, Atkins said. Both the men could swim, according to sheriff’s office reports. The father’s girlfriend and mother of the young girl, who was also on the boat, could not swim. She began screaming and honking the boat’s horn for help. Atkins said the accident happened in the Little Jackson’s Cove section of Lake Adger, between the dam and the boat landing on the north side of the lake. Nearby residents heard the mom and came to help. A Lake Adger woman brought the girl to safety. She and her husband, along with other residents with boats, looked unsuccessfully for the father and son while awaiting rescue workers. Atkins says the accident oc(Continued on page 5)

Death threat against U.S. Rep Shuler
U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC) is one of several members of Congress who have faced death threats recently, according to a report by Politico. Shuler received a message from a 70-year-old man who said he would kill Shuler if he voted for the stimulus package. Shuler said he took the threat seriously and said it’s “really alarming” the first time you get a death threat. He said, “it is very difficult when you serve in public office.” Politico found that six other U.S. representatives also received death threats related to the stimulus bill last year.
Tryon to revisit sign ordinance
Tryon Town Council has agreed to send some issues regarding its sign ordinance to the town’s planning and zoning board for further consideration. Tryon Town Council members discussed the policy of not allowing signs on the sides of buildings and said some signs are currently out of compliance, but the town’s ordinance is not enforced.

Foothills Humane Society plans to begin renovation work on its former crematorium building to create a new Cat House at the facility. The expanded space will provide more room to care for cats being prepared for adoption and recovering sick cats. Foothills has said it is looking for people who could temporarily adopt kittens that they have housed in the crematorium building until renovations are complete. Foothills has said it will take the animals back once the new Cat House is ready. Anyone interested can call Dot Moyer or Dana Mayer at 863-4444 or email foothillsshelter@windstream.net.

curred in about 14 feet of water. He and others speculate that the two got entangled in trees and shrubbery at the bottom of the lake. The sheriff’s office says the search began immediately for the victims, and the Henderson County and Green River dive teams recovered the bodies. The son’s body was found around 7:20 p.m. Sunday and the father was found about 30 minutes after, according to the sheriff’s office. Both the bodies have been
sent to the state medical examiner’s office for autopsy. Atkins says there was no evidence of any alcohol or other substances on the boat. Several agencies responded to the accident Sunday, including the sheriff’s office, N.C. Wildlife, Polk County Emergency Medical Services, Sunny View Fire and Rescue, Mill Spring Fire Department, Columbus Fire Department, Polk County Rescue Squad, Saluda Fire and Rescue, the Polk County Chapter of the American Red Cross, Blue Ridge Fire Department, Henderson County Rescue Squad and Green River Fire Department.

1.8 percent and the number of unemployed is down 178. Even better, the number of employed Polk County residents is up 202, reflecting an expanding workforce in the past two months. According to state figures, Polk County had 8,829 people employed in April, the most since last November, when the unemployment rate was at 8.5 percent. The rate rose each month over the past winter, reaching a recent high of 10.2 percent in February before dropping 0.8 percent in March. The improvement in Polk County mirrors a trend that brought lower unemployment rates to 99 of 100 North Carolina counties in April. The statewide average rate fell from 10.9 percent in March to 10 percent in April. The state had in April 455,013 people who were unemployed and looking for work, down 42,446 from March. “The positive news in the April county data is that there has been an increase in the number of workers employed throughout the state,” said Employment Security Commission chairman Lynn R. Holmes. “At the same time, the news is tempered by the fact that more than half of the counties still have unemployment rates over the unadjusted rate of 10 percent. We continue to provide a variety of services in our 89 offices statewide to assist those seeking work.” Currituck County had the lowest rate in the state in April at 5.8 percent, while the highest rate was in Scotland County at 15.8

Rutherford County saw significant improvement with a 1.3 percent decline in the unemployment rate, but it still had the second highest rate in the state at 15.2 percent. Henderson County was at 8.4 percent and Buncome County at 8.2 percent. In South Carolina, employment conditions also brightened considerably in April. The state’s average rate fell for the third straight month. It was down 0.6 percent from March to 11.6 percent. The number of unemployed was down 14,648. Both Spartanburg and Greenville counties saw even greater improvement. The unemployment rate fell 1.4 percent in Spartanburg County to 10.8 percent, and it fell 1.2 percent in Greenville County to 9 percent. “We are encouraged by this positive news and remain focused on putting South Carolinians back to work,” says John Finan, executive director of the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce.

Students and teachers gather in front of the N.C. State Mountain Horticultural Crops Research and Extension Center sign. (photo submitted)
Polk students observe latest agriculture research Recently 15 students from the Polk County High Agriculture Program toured the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Center near Fletcher, NC. The students are all part of the Horticulture II class taught by Chauncey Barber. As part of the tour the students were able to observe the work being done in the vegetable, fruit and
ornamental research world. Polk students visited the tissue culture lab where scientists are developing new plants for both the nursery and bio-fuels industries. Tours of both the tomato and ornamental greenhouses gave students an opportunity to see some of the most recent work in the world of plant breeding. Lastly the group was able to “taste test” many

Those who would destroy it (rather than changing the unworkable parts) do so at the peril of being so elitist that they call attention to the mean-spirited notion that you’re only deserving of care if you believe a certain way, make a certain amount of money, live in a particular neighborhood, or have a particular skin color. Destroying this movement toward universal health care, while continuing to fund wars, reveals a character that is quite different from the claims that so many Americans make about the US being the beacon of freedom and well-being.

TDDA springs forward Early this spring, the board members of Tryon Downtown Development Association gathered to discuss plans for the future and to revisit recommendations from earlier retreats. Ten board members and two guests, including Town Councilman Wim Woody, examined activities and information central to each of the four areas of TDDA: Organization, Design, Economic Development, and Promotion. The mission of TDDA is to preserve and enhance the community of Tryon through a revitalization program which focuses on streetscape and economic restructuring. Unlike the monthly meetings which the leadership tries to limit to one hour, the retreat allowed sufficient time for adequate discussion of each area. The group looked at earlier plans and brainstormed about new activities. They prioritized and rehashed and encouraged each committee to pursue even more ideas. Discussion included sidewalk improvements on South Trade Street, New Market Road/South Trade intersection reconfiguration, streetlight flower baskets, and a charette to plan for the vacant space on Palmer Street. TDDA is currently composed of 17 board members who serve on rotating three-year terms. Board members are Doug Arbogast, Bill Ingham, Mark Byington, Paula Edwards, John Walters, Wanda May, Ann Gargiulo, Jeff Byrd, Nancy Holmes, Steve
Cobb, Kate Stroupe, Crys Armbrust, Justin Vosburgh, Kathleen Carson, and Nathan Galloway. President is Crys Armbrust, Vice president is Steve Cobb of Owen’s Pharmacy, secretary is Wanda May, and treasurer is Justin Vosburgh of Tryon Federal Bank. Chair of the Design Committee is landscape architect, Mark Byington; chair of promotion is Nathan Galloway, the executive director of the soon to open Tryon Toymaker’s House & Museum; chair of economic development is Tony Mayse of High-Tech House Call. Since its inception, TDDA’s purpose has been to improve the Town of Tryon, to make it the most desirable place to work and shop, a community that offers a variety of venues for outstanding local and regional art and music. Currently, there are 54 individual members, eight non-profits, and 21 businesses. Membership is open to the public. TDDA is a tax-exempt, 501 c 3 organization. All contributions are tax-deductible. The meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month and are open to the public. For additional information about joining, pick up an application form at the TDDA office in Town Hall or call Crys Armbrust at 828-859-9879. His e-mail address is carmbrust@windstream.net.

Are you a member of the St. Luke’s Fan Club? Once again our Chamber of Commerce and their dedicated volunteers are gearing up for the 17th annual Blue Ridge Barbecue Festival set to be held June 11 and 12. I’m sure this year will be no exception to the usual great weather, terrific food, outstanding music and unique handcrafts. Congratulations on organizing, publicizing and operating this great festival! I am very glad that St. Luke’s Hospital will again be a part of this year’s festival as one of several local sponsors. I appreciate the volunteer efforts of several employees who will represent the hospital during the two-day festival, handing out sunscreen, hand sanitizer and the very popular hand fans that prove to be a life-saver year after year for many people braving the heat. (Will you join the St. Luke’s Fan Club?) Yes, they are free! If you drop by for a band aid or a hand wipe, or just to sit and rest in the shade, you will have the opportunity to hear about the programs and services of our hospital, including the exciting approach to hip replacement surgery and the upcoming Ache Around the Lake (Oct. 2 - mark your calendar!) to raise funds for the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation. We’ll tell you about our 10-bed geriatric psychiatric unit, our 24-hour emergency department and the capabilities of our outpatient rehab services. We would love to tell you about our in-home care program through Community Health Connections, our Community Alternative Program for
Caring for our Community by Ken Shull
Disabled Adults and our two hyperbaric chambers for chronic wound care. We’ll also tell you about our great volunteers, and our need for a few more! This year there will be another opportunity under the St. Luke’s Hospital tent. This year you can participate in a free health screening! We are all too familiar with the diseases that can kill – heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes. We want to do what’s necessary to reduce our chances of developing these diseases. But do you know the numbers that are key indicators? The truth is, we all want to be healthy, but knowing how has not always been so clear. St. Luke’s Hospital and the Medical Assistant/Patient Care Technician classes of Isothermal Community College Polk Campus want to make it easier to know your numbers by sponsoring a free screening at the Blue Ridge BBQ Festival on Friday, June 11, from 3–7 p.m. Appointments are not necessary. Just stop by the St. Luke’s Hospital tent for this valuable screening and useful information. The numbers referred to are those numbers we can’t seem to remember or understand: blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen level and body mass index, or BMI. These numbers are the most basic indicators of health.
By knowing them, you can measure your risk for serious health problems like cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes. St. Luke’s and ICC have joined together to promote better personal health throughout our community. We hope that after the screening, you’ll better understand these key numbers that are indicators of good health. Unfortunately, too many of us don’t know our key health care numbers or don’t know whether they are within the ‘healthy’ range. We want to help you, your family and your friends achieve better health by measuring your risk of serious health problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and stroke. Please take advantage of the Free Health Screening at the Blue Ridge BBQ Festival on Friday, June 11, from 3 – 7 p.m. Supporting, educating and encouraging the community to become healthy and active is just another way St. Luke’s Hospital continues to provide excellent care, close to home. For more information, please call 828-894-2408. St. Luke’s Hospital is a not for profit, acute care hospital affiliated with Carolinas Healthcare System of Charlotte, N.C., for specialized management expertise, experience with developing strong community-based clinical services, and participation in revenue and purchasing contracts. CHS is the largest healthcare system in the Carolinas and the third largest public system in the nation.

Unemployment rate improves It is good to see the unemployment rate improving in polk County. across the state, we are seeing improvement, with unemployment rates decreasing in 99 of N.C.’s 100 counties. polk County, at 8.4 percent, was one of the 41 counties that were below the state average of ten percent. The state paid out $189 million in Unemployment Insurance to 190,311 individuals in april, compared to payments of $227 million to 213,786 in March Just two years ago in polk County, the number of unemployed was as low as 341 of the county’s 9,431 workers in the labor force. However, the trend had been rising ever since, peaking at 985 unemployed in February of this year. Thankfully, for so many of our local families, that number started to decline again in March, dropping from 985 out of work, a 10.2 percent unemployment rate, to 912 in March and 807 in april, bringing the unemployment rate down to 8.4 percent. That represents 178 people finding jobs since February. We must be thankful for that. N.C. State University Economist Mike Walden confirms that we are seeming improvement in the state economy. Factory output in North Carolina shows higher rates of production. Home prices actually moved a little higher, unlike the national trend. He predicts employment, up for four straight months, should start to significantly improve by summer. An encouraging forecast. However, the National Review of economic Research, a think tank composed of prominent economists, in early May, would not declare the recession over. even when they do, the declaration will only mean that the economy is no longer falling, only that it is starting to get better. With the latest good unemployment rate news, we can only hope and pray that is the case, starting now. — JB
