Humane Society removes crematorium No longer needed; cremation rate down dramatically

in "Planned Pethood" through the Humane Society's spay/neuter assistance programs have paid off, as has the "Po Kittie's" trap/neuter/ return program for feral cats. They also say expanded foster, rescue and adoption programs have dramatically improved placement to save lives, and the Internet, e-mail and social media have made a big difference to the shelter's ability to place animals. Euthanasia rates have declined steadily from more than 1,000 animals a year in 2005 to 300 in 2009 and only nine dogs and one cat since the beginning of 2010 – a live release rate of 98 percent. Foothills officials say selling the crematorium will save the shelter a considerable amount in allowing the former crematorium building to be used for intake and isolation units for cats. They have been using the crematorium building as an infirmary for cats with URIs (colds) for months now and they say the cats are getting better much faster. Providing quarantine on intake outside the main shelter building will further improve the health of the shelter cats. When renovation construction begins, Foothills officials say they will need more fosters and adopt-
ers to have enough space for the summer peak "kitten season." To help move the animals faster during the renovation, Foothills will waive the adoption fee on cats and kittens. Adoption sponsorship is another way to help if you can't take an animal. Foothills says it costs $55 to prepare cats for adoption, including spay/neuter surgery, all shots, and a microchip.

A glance at some of the latest news in the area. 2x2.5 4/8 Annexation legislation shelved Legislation is being shelved that would have imposed new roWJ-036001
restrictions on how N.C. municipalities annex people against their will. According to the Fayetteville Observer, Sen. David Hoyle of Gaston County put a hold on proposed annexation revisions in his role as chairman of the Senate Rules Committee. The matter needs more study than is possible in the current short session, Hoyle said. Hoyle said neither the cities, nor the anti-annexation lobbyists, like the bill that came out of the House last year.
Tryon’s 125th honored by Assembly
House Bill 1789, a bill honoring Tryon’s 125th Anniversary, has passed both the North Carolina House and Senate and has been ratified. “I was honored to have Mayor Alan Peoples of Tryon in the gallery to see his town recognized,” said W. David Guice of Brevard, District 113 representative.
Senate passes ban on ‘electronic sweepstakes’
The N.C. Senate overwhelmingly passed House Bill 80, “Ban Electronic Sweepstakes” on Monday night by a margin of 47 to 1. The House is expected to take up the measure in the near future. HB 80 would prohibit electronic machines and other devices used for sweepstakes activities in the state. The bill makes it “unlawful for any person to own, lease, or have possession of and place into operation an electronic machine or device to conduct a sweepstakes or to engage in any process or activity associated with a sweepstakes.” The bill exempts video games that do not provide prizes and the traditional sweepstakes games conducted by retail merchants such as MacDonald’s. The General Assembly outlawed video poker in 2006, but an estimated 600 so-called “sweepstakes cafes or parlors” have been established all use logo across North Carolina in the past year or sonew in an attempt to circumvent the ban on this gambling activity. Individual effective 2/8/10 sweepstakes machines have also been located in various retail, restaurant and bar locations in the state.
Shehan rape case continued
The case of Terry Shehan was continued during an administrative superior court session last week until Aug. 12. Shehan currently faces six counts of statutory rape and one count of probation violation.

senate’s public hearings? Only a depraved, psychopath that needs to be put away for such a hideous crime.” Studies have shown time and time again that those who abuse defenseless animals go on to abuse spouses, children, and many others, Then said. Polk County commissioners in April held a public hearing to consider amending the county’s own animal control ordinance. Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill told the board that the county has had an ordinance in place but has no way of enforcing the law. The draft ordinance being considered includes four levels of offenses ranging from litter and odors, animals at large, property damage to animal bites, keeping dangerous animals, diseased animals, abandoning animals, cruelty to animals and keeping wild or exotic animals. If approved, the county’s animal control officer will be able to issue citations that range from $50 to $250 for a level I offense, $75 to $500 for a level II offense, $100 to $1,000 for a level III offense and $125 to $1,500 for a level IV offense. The fine will increase depending on the number of offenses. Then said his board has been told the revised animal ordinance is being reviewed by interim county attorney Mike Egan.
“I don’t think we’ve taken the process seriously enough. We didn’t look at some departments’ budgets just because they didn’t have an increase.”

Columbus may restrict gaming to I-26 corridor by Leah Justice
The Town of Columbus has asked its planning board to amend the town’s zoning ordinance to restrict gaming operations to the town’s I-26 corridor. Columbus Town Council agreed last week to propose
Obituaries
Charles F. Cecil Charles F. Cecil, 92, of Tryon, loving husband of the late Alice H. Cecil for 65 years, died Sunday, May 30, 2010, at Tryon Estates, Columbus. He will be remembered as a life-long learner with wide-ranging interests, a keen intellect, a positive attitude, and a deep love of family and friends. Born in Anderson, S.C., and reared in Spartanburg, Charles was the son of the late Levi Moffitt and Inez Felder Cecil. He is survived by his son, Charles H. Cecil of Florence, Italy; his daughter, Charlotte Cecil Raymond, and her husband, Alan, of Marblehead, Mass.; three grandchildren, Alyssa Raymond, Christopher Raymond and Charlotte Cecil; a sister, Jean McAdams; two brothers, Robert Cecil and Dr. Henry Cecil; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brothers, Richard and Moffitt Cecil, and his sister, Margaret Huff. Charles graduated from Wofford College in 1939 and served four years with U.S. Naval Aviation during WWII, attaining the rank of lieutenant commander. He earned an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1947 and began a 35-year career in the housewares industry, most of which was spent at Club
restricting those type machines to within 500 feet on either side of the interstate. The town recently approved new fees for gaming machines, including a flat $3,000 fee plus $2,000 per machine in the business. (Continued on page 9)
Aluminum Products, where he became president and CEO. In 1969, he was honored as “The man who brought color to cookware.” Charles retired in 1987, and he and Alice moved to Tryon, where they became active contributors to the community. A man of strong and abiding faith, Charles served as a member of the session of the Tryon Presbyterian Church. He also served as treasurer of the Polk County Dispute Settlement Center, vice president of the World Affairs Forum, and on the boards of the Tryon Concert Association, Lanier Library, Thermal Belt Habitat, and the North Carolina Arts Society. He was very active in the Rotary Club of Tryon, where he served as chairman of the Four-Way Test Committee. He was a passionate advocate for helping the elderly live in their homes for as long as possible, and for corporate ethics and accountability. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Cecil Family Scholarship Fund at Wofford College; The Rotary Club of Tryon; or Tryon Presbyterian Church. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, June, 28, 2010, at Tryon Presbyterian Church. An online guest register may be signed at www.mcfarlandchapel.com. McFarland Funeral Chapel, Tryon.

Lt. Governor Walter Dalton’s Logistics Task Force will be meeting in Cullowhee at the Western Carolina University Center on Thursday, June 24 to hear from a variety of economic development and transportation experts about the needs of this western region of the state. The mission of the Logistics Task Force is to ensure that North Carolina has the necessary foundation to remain competitive in the global economy
• Gaming (continued from page 8)
Carolina Thunder owner Kenny Parker told town council last week that he was concerned about the new fees. Parker said that equals $11,000 for his small business that he recently moved to downtown Columbus. He asked for an extension on paying the fees, saying there is no way he can pay such fees in a four-week time frame. “That’s $11,000 for my business which is very, very high that quick,” Parker said. “By the time payouts come there is very little income per day. There should be a tax on these machines, but not like that.” Other businesses have told Columbus officials that they will take out their machines because they can’t pay the fees. If the zoning amendment is approved, current businesses outside the I-26 corridor who already have gaming machines will be grandfathered and still allowed to have those machines. There are currently four businesses in Columbus who have gaming machines, including two that are not within the I-26 corridor. The N.C. Senate has passed a bill banning “sweepstakes” games altogether. The bill is expected to be debated in the House in the near future (see News Briefs, p. 4).
over the long-term. The members of the Task Force are focusing on developing a strategic list of statewide priorities for continued job creation. The Task Force is studying the critical relationship between commerce and infrastructure and expects to develop a plan for the seamless movement of people, goods, and information throughout the state and beyond.

Landrum Majors Redwings cap 15-1 season with tourney title the Landrum Majors redwings baseball team never looked better in pink. the redwings recently won the District 1 Championship Tournament and regular-season title, finishing with a 15-1 record for the season. the team dedicated the tournament victory to Chris Killough, the mother of third-baseman Noah Killough, wearing pink jerseys for the tournament to acknowledge Ms. Killough’s battle with breast cancer. Coaches Davey edwards and Lynn stewart have coached together for the past eight years and have coached most of these players, including sons seth stewart and John David edwards, in both
football and baseball since the age of four. In the past three baseball seasons, the team’s record is 41-6 in District 1 play with two regularseason and two postseason titles. In football, the team has amassed a 23-6 record with two midseason championships, two regularseason championships and two super Bowl victories. “It’s been an honor and a privilege to coach each and every one of these kids,” the coaches agreed. “they have grown up from little kids, playing in dirt and chasing bugs to become great ballplayers. these young men will be the future high-school stars for Landrum and polk County.”

the sophomore battery of pitcher Jamie Hrobak and catcher alyssa Montgomery. Montgomery was an all-state selection as a freshman, returned to bat .417 with a .625 on-base percentage. she led the team in five offensive categories, including hits, runs and extra-base hits. Meanwhile, Hrobak was a workhorse on the rubber, notching 16 of the team’s 18 victories. Despite pitching from the 43-foot (college) distance for the first time, Hrobak gave up 85 hits, struck out 214 in 128 innings of work and finished with a 2.60 earned run average. playing in the Western Highlands 2A conference for the first time after moving up from 1a, the Wolverines finished 10-4 in the conference, good enough for third place behind owen, which was unbeaten before being stunned in the first round of the playoffs. Madison was second. the Wolverines’ playoff appearance was short-lived, ending with a disappointing first-round 6-0 loss at Forbush. “We’ve been on the cusp,” said Wilson. “We’ve gone to the playoffs each of the last four years and to the third round in three of the last four years.” senior center fileder Nikki
Williams, a three-time all-district selection, was on each of those four playoff teams and saved her best offensive season for last, batting .413 and finishing with a .372 career average. Williams was among three seniors along with sammy Mazzilli and Michaelle McKaig, finishing their careers at pCHs. Hrobak, Williams and Montgomery were all-district selections. Junior right fielder Haley Champion had the third-highest batting average on the team at .341, while earning all-conference honors. But much of the story was in Wilson’s building blocks, such as the trio of freshmen infielders who tasted varsity competition for the first time this past season. First-baseman Cassie Couch, second-baseman shalyn Brown and shortstop Yancy pace will be counted on heavily for the next three seasons, Wilson said. Wilson also gave credit to his assistant coaches, Jerry Hensley and the retiring Mitch Davis, for helping with the growth of this past year’s team. “I’m very proud of what we accomplished this year,” said Wilson. “I felt like we had a good battery, good leadership and a good work ethic at practice.”
