'There's always Grandma's house' Benefit planned to repair Landrum woman’s condemned home by Leah Justice

The Landrum community is banding together to help a Landrum grandmother keep her home. Ida Mae Wright has lived in her N. Trade Avenue home since 1970 and is now faced with either fixing the aged home or losing it. The City of Landrum condemned the house last week because of its unsafe porch, whose roof and floor are both rotted. Wright received notices of the condemnation in the mail, but she cannot read and threw them away not knowing (Continued on page 6)

The band broke up in the mid 80s, but in 2005 reunited to record its first album, "One Monkey Don't Spoil the Show.” In 2009 the band released its second album, “Take The High Road.” Silver Travis is a little bit country and a whole lot Southern rock with some fine ol’ blues tossed in for good measure.

Letter to the Editor

Save the house that built us To the Editor: My grandmother's house in Landrum was condemned last Wednesday. My grandmother cannot read or write, so the first notices she received were discarded. It was condemned because of the condition of the roof and the front porch. The house is over 130 years old. My grandmother and grandfather bought it in 1969. My mother and her three brothers, two of which have passed, were raised in this house. My grandpa also passed while liv-

ing there. The estimate we received from the contractor to fix it was $35,000. No one has that kind of money. This house means the world to my grandmother, her children and grandchildren. We are doing everything we can but it is not enough. We have 30 days to start repairs and 90 days to rebuild. As time goes by quickly we grow sadder as we face the facts. We need answers and we need help. We’ve contacted a great deal of organizations and have been unsuccessful so far. This house is my family’s hearth and foundation. Tell us how to save the house that built us. – Ginny Lawter Underwood

put back.” Wright says one of the problems of the house is that it sits right next to the railroad tracks, and when trains ran, the house shook with every train. Wright was hit by a train while driving across the crossroads just up from her house in the 1970s and says the train is not something she misses today. Wright says she is overwhelmed at the support she has seen this week from the community, both from people she knows and many she has never met before. “I appreciate everybody for what they’ve done to help me,” Wright said. “There’s still some good people. And I have the sweetest granddaughters that ever lived. I just don’t want to lose my home. We worked too hard for this little piece of land to lose it.” A bank account has been set up at the First Citizens Bank in Landrum. Donations can be made to the “Wright Donation Fund” by mail or in person at 144 N. Trade St., Landrum, S.C. 29356. Donations can be taken only at First Citizens locations in South Carolina.

Crummie said. The family says they have no hard feelings towards the city, because they agree the house needs to be repaired. Wright, who has lived in Landrum since 1958, says she dearly loves the city and doesn’t blame officials for condemning the house. Wright and her husband, Lee, bought the property in 1969 and kept it up until Lee died 18 years ago. Wright had four children, whom the couple raised in the house, and 20 grandchildren, all of whom at some point have also lived in the house. Wright also has about 50 great-grandchildren. “All of the grandkids at some point have lived here,” Crummie said. “When there’s no place to go, there’s always grandma’s house.” Crummie and Wright said the house is full of memories. Wright remembers her husband, who loved to read, sitting on the porch in the summertime reading, drinking coffee and listening to the radio. “This house has so many 2x5 1605 Asheville H 2x5 Crummie said. “It’s memories,” 7/2 just 6/25 amazing some of the stuff molH-036251 that went on in this house and molH-036250 that’s just in the last 40 years.

ficers will be working hard to stop impaired drivers and ensure the safety of motorists traveling on our highways,” said David Weinstein, director of the GHSP. “Driving while impaired is never worth the risk, and everyone should celebrate responsibly.” Over last year’s Independence Day weekend, there were 120 alcohol-related crashes resulting in six fatalities and 105 injuries. Officers charged more than 1,300 North Carolina motorists with driving while impaired during the 2009 “Booze It & Lose It: Operation Firecracker” campaign. More than 4,800 stepped-up patrols and checkpoints were conducted.

Connected with the Constitution Top Quality Horse Hay

Former ‘Ironsides’ commander’s site to join Library of Congress archives by John Clayton

Tryon resident and retired U.S. Navy Commander Ty Martin took over command of the famed U.S.S. Constitution in 1974, and the two have been connected ever since. Martin, who began research on the Constitution upon taking her helm and has since published a book on her as well reams of historical data on the Internet, is recognized as a leading expert on the U.S.S. Constitution. His website, which he calls “The Captain’s Clerk,” has been selected for inclusion in the Library of Congress’s relatively new “web

archive” database. “It wasn’t really intentional,” Martin said of the nearly 40-year connection he has had with the ship that earned the nickname “Old Ironsides” for her naval victories in the War of 1812. “At the time, the Norm's Home Constitution was notRepair a & Maintenance big command – I had commanded two deQualified, Dependable, Reasonable stroyers before that, so it wasn’t very challenging, Call 828-749-1113 and I was looking for something to do.” The U.S. W, Navy F was 1/10-2/5 also preparing for the country’s bicentennial celebration in 1976 and the Constitution was about to undergo a multimillion dollar makeover. That’s when Martin, who began his military career after graduating from Rochester 2009

Landrum man makes sure step-father’s service, sacrifices as POW not forgotten by John Clayton

After four years of cutting through red tape, Spencer Bumgardner saw his mission accomplished this past Friday, June 25. Through the efforts of Bumgardner, who has retired back to his hometown of Landrum, his stepfather and World War II POW, T.J. Willard has his rightful place on a monument recognizing area POWs at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Asheville. “As soon as I saw that plaque I told (VA staffer) John Cowart that I wasn’t going to rest until Daddy’s name was on that wall,” said Bumgardner. Willard’s name was added to the plaque in a small ceremony

attended by family members, including Bumgardner, son Jeff Willard, daughter Carolyn Terrell and great-grandson Logan Putnam. David Grant, a former U.S. Air Force aviator who had been shot down over North Vietnam and taken prisoner, also attended on the 38th anniversary of the day he was taken captive. “I was honored to have (Davis) there,” Bumgardner said. “I’m sure that was a day of reflection for him.” But Willard, who died in the early 1970s, was not there to be honored. “I wish he had been around to see this,” said Bumgardner (Continued on page 17)

News reports say outgoing Rep. Joey Millwood’s exit from the S.C. House of Representatives was not a quiet one. The Spartanburg Herald-Journal reported Thursday that Millwood was involved in a heated verbal altercation with Rep. Steve Parker moments after the House adjourned. Millwood, who was defeated for the District 38 seat in a run-off with Landrum’s Doug Brannon in the Jan. 22 Republican primary runoff, had just been honored with a resolution thanking him for his two years of service. Millwood reportedly followed the reading of the proclamation with a speech reiterating some of his positions and suggested that some of the Spartanburg delegation, including Parker, disagreed with the spirit of the proclamation. Moments later, Millwood accused Parker of working against him in the District 38 Primary. “I mentioned to him, ‘Steve, I know what you were doing to me in

the race. And I know the leadership knows, and a lot of other people know,” Millwood told the HeraldJournal. “Then he called me an arrogant S.O.B. — but he said the words — and said something about if I’d gotten along more with the delegation, we wouldn’t have done that.” Millwood said Parker told him the two could “take it back to the office” for a physical confrontation. Parker denied to the paper that he had threatened physical violence and that he used obscenities. He also said he did not work against Millwood during the GOP primary. However, Rick Beltram, Parker’s campaign manager and former Spartanburg County GOP chairman, told the Herald-Journal that he did work for Brannon. “Parker had no involvement in Millwood’s race,” Beltram told the newspaper. “I did, but he didn’t. I think they’re blaming Parker because I was involved. I gave (Millwood’s opponent, Doug Brannon) money. I put up signs. And I’m proud of it.”

No Columbus funding for next year’s Fabulous 4th by Leah Justice

Tomorrow’s Fabulous Fourth of July celebration could be the last town funded celebration for a while. Columbus Town Council approved last week a budget for the new fiscal year that included no funding for next year’s festival. Zambelli’s, which contracts with the town for the annual fireworks show, told officials the town can cancel its contract for next year. Council decided to wait until the first of next year to cancel the contract in hopes that someone will volunteer to pay for the fireworks. The town pays $9,000 for the firework show. If no one steps up, the town says it will cancel the contract in January. Council members say they still want to hold a festival, but they want to turn the festival back into the hands of the community, inviting

people to play music and inviting vendors such as churches to come and sell homemade ice cream. The town doesn’t pay for the rides and makes a profit off a percentage of sales, but it covers other expenses, including the fireworks, port-a-jons, golf carts, police, public works and clean-up costs. The town spent $31,650 last year on the annual festival. Although it receives some revenue and donations, the revenue is never enough to cover the costs. The town's decision to cut Fabulous 4th costs next year was one of the major budget cuts made because of the economy and deficits in the town's water and sewer fund. Tomorrow’s festival will run as usual; the town has $13,650 in the new budget to pay the remaining costs of this year's event. The town’s new fiscal year began yesterday.

Winter storms left trees and rock slides covering stretches of the road, but it’s now open again after four months of cleanup. A six-mile stretch (mile markers 399 to 405) near Asheville that has been closed since October will be reopened Friday. The slope around mile marker 400 has been secured with bolts, while crews continue to remove fallen trees and limbs in some areas.

*** Travel in the Carolinas is expected to increase by about 12 percent this Fourth of July compared to last year, according to AAA Carolinas. AAA says the increase is due to an improved economy and “pentup demand for vacations.” AAA estimates about 930,000 North Carolinians and 450,000 South Carolinians will travel 50 mile or more this weekend. Most are expected to travel by car. AAA president and CEO David Parsons says gas prices this holiday weekend are similar to last year, but people have a more favorable outlook for the economy. *** Charlotte is one of four cities named a finalist to host the 2012 Democratic National Convention.

Update on Lions’ Tryon Peak cross Columbus Lion Roger Newman reports that the Lions are continuing in their efforts to return the lighted cross to Tryon Peak. As chairman of the Cross Committee, Newman reports that he has reached a verbal agreement with Crown Castle, Inc. for a long-term lease. Crown Castle owns the land on Tryon Peak as well as the tower on which the former cross was mounted. This lease would provide land on which the Lions could build a new tower for their cross. The lease has been offered at no charge by Crown Castle and the company is also providing the legal services to have the lease drawn up. The Lions hope this paperwork will be

completed in the near future. There are more issues with which Newman must contend besides the acquisition of land. The 1983 North Carolina Ridge Law as well as the 2009 local Ridge Laws and the Federal Communications Commission all have regulations which must be met before a new tower can be erected. In addition, Newman has been negotiating with a contractor who will build the new tower and mount the new cross hardware for an estimated cost of $65,000. Although the Lions will not be accepting donations until all plans are finalized, the club says any pledges of assistance will be appreciated. Newman expresses his appreciation for the

strong community support the Lions continue to receive. In its more than 50-year history, the cross on Tryon Peak has faced many challenges including frequent weather damage and a complaint from the North Carolina Civil Liberties Union (NCCLU). This complaint was filed In 1987 when the NCCLU said the cross – a Christian symbol – should not be mounted on a state-owned tower. Under pressure, the Lions Club was forced to take the cross down. This might have been the end of the Tryon Peak Cross had not Mr. Edward Bagwell, now deceased, contributed space on his communications tower for construction of a new cross. Through the years the

tower ownership changed hands several times, but the cross was always there – lit at Christmas and Easter – until it was removed by Crown Castle during the 2009 Easter season. Initially, the Lions thought the cross could return to the tower once structural repairs had been completed. However, they were later told that for legal and structural reasons, the cross would need to be on its own tower. Anyone wanting to contact the Columbus Lions regarding the cross can reach Roger Newman at 828-859-3154 or write to the Columbus Lions Club at P.O. Box 121, Columbus, N.C. 28722. – article submitted

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

Polk residents study peak oil, climate change, offer class on dependency at ICC In May of this year, two local residents, Beth Thomas and Mary Parker, attended a two-day workshop in Asheville presented by Transition Initiative, an organization working to bring awareness to communities about the necessity of ending oil dependency in the presence of peak oil and climate change. The creator of the concept is a man named Rob Hopkins. Transition Initiative began in the small town of Totnes in Devon, England, a community much like the communities in Polk County. Totnes became the first of many Transition towns in England to work on becoming a sustainable community, as free as possible from the dependency of oil. Transition Initiative has now spread to our country with 68 Transitions towns, and by the end of the year, the prediction is that there will be at least 100 in the United States. Nearby Asheville is listed as one of these. By March 2009, Transition towns had sprung up all over the world. In this worldwide grassroots movement many other towns are working to become certified as Transition towns. The term “peak oil” refers to the fact that· cheap oil is running out – many scientists say oil has already peaked worldwide, and in the U.S. it peaked in the 1970s. What this means for people in the U.S., the group says, is that U.S. dependency on oil to maintain present lifestyles must end. Americans must not only find safe, alternative energy sources - those that do not contribute to climate change or cause a catastrophe like the oil spill in the Gulf - but they must also curb their consumption because nearly everything they buy is dependent in some way on oil. And of course, as oil sources dwindle and become harder and more risky to access, the price of oil will skyrocket as will the price of everything else. The Gulf oil spill has made most Americans aware that change from the top will not happen fast enough, and technology will not save the country. Thomas and Parker say “We cannot wait. We must do the work ourselves to change things.

The first step is recognizing that there is a problem. Today most people in our country know that climate change is a reality, but there is much less public awareness about how the decline of fossil fuel availability may prevent the economic and social stability that is needed if we are to deal with the threats posed by climate change. The two issues cannot, and should not, be separated.” Transition Initiative presents a model for uniting and strengthening communities in efforts to achieve local self-reliance to deal with the effects of these monumental challenges. The organization says the outcome will result in lives that are more fulfilling, socially and economically. The vision of Transition is that of a better world, a change from dependency on oil to connectedness with each other for the well-being of all. Localization - buying and supporting local businesses, getting to know what local services are available and using them, curbing our tendency to travel long distances for goods, and sharing and helping to meet the needs of all community members will be the keys to realizing their vision, the organization says. The Transition Initiative group of which Beth Thomas and Mary Parker are a part is studying The Transition Handbook and will present the model to the community in upcoming events. Participation by all members of the local communities in Polk County is greatly encouraged. The first event will be held on July 20 at the Isothermal Community College auditorium in Columbus. Refreshments will be served from 6:30 to 7 p.m. From 7 to 9 p.m. there will be a short film about the end of cheap oil followed by a discussion of the film and Transition Initiative. For more information on Transition Initiative, go to the following websites: www.TransitionUS. org, www.TransitionNetwork. org or www.TransitionTowns. org.

Letter to the Editor

Quotes from the past To the Editor: “Every now and then go away. Have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work, your judgement will be surer; since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgement. Go some distance away because the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seen.” – Leonardo Da Vinci – submitted by Leonard Rizzo

Samuel W. White Jr.’s gift to PCCF What a wonderful feeling it must be to have a large sum of money to give to your community. Samuel W. White Jr. enjoyed that special warm feeling for decades. As he explained in a letter to the Polk County Community Foundation in 1992, “When I was a director of Central and South West Corp. in Dallas, Tx., I was offered an unusual gift. The company purchased a [large] life policy on me. At the time of my death, I am permitted to have [the insurance proceeds] distributed to the not-forprofit organizations of my choice in Polk County.” White chose the Polk County Community Foundation as the beneficiary of his gift. With typical Sam White humor, he stated, “The date is a little doubtful so don’t book it as an asset just yet!” White died February 15, 2010, but he leaves many legacies to our community, including a generous

endowment fund to benefit our community in perpetuity. He had fun over the years contemplating the many possible directives to the foundation regarding the use of this asset. The new Samuel and Stephanie White Fund is an unrestricted, permanent endowment fund which shall contribute a percentage of its assets every year to the budget for the foundation’s unrestricted grantmaking. Grant recommendations shall be made by the Unrestricted Grants Committee based on written applications, interviews and a voting system that enables each volunteer member of the committee have a voice in the grant recommendations. As with all competitive grants, the board of the Polk County Community Foundation makes the final grant decisions and confirms that the grants were awarded in a fair process based on the donors’ criteria.

Many local organizations have benefited over the years from White’s gifts of time, talent and enthusiasm. The Polk County Community Foundation was fortunate to have him serve a term as a director starting in 1986 and as the chairman in 1990 and 1991. He valued and actively contributed to the Congregational Church, St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation, the Tryon Fine Arts Center, FENCE, Pacolet Area Conservancy, Hospice of the Carolina Foothills and the Community Foundation. He was pleased that his legacy gift would benefit all of these organizations and asked that these groups be given preference when applying for unrestricted grants funded by the Samuel and Stephanie White Fund. When White announced his intentions, he wrote, “We think this will be a more effective way to support your group’s operations in the

future. This is a win-win situation. I’m proud to have this opportunity to participate in the recognition of the superb quality of life which we all enjoy in this community.” – article submitted

To the Editor: This summer marks the 40th year that Tryon Little Theater and Tryon Youth Center have presented the Tryon Youth Theater Production. For the last four years, I have had the privilege of directing the teenage productions. I started with Beauty and the Beast and then over the next two years we presented Cats and Les Miserables. This year I am proud to be directing Disney’s Aida. This is truly a show the entire family can enjoy. The story is the same as Verdi’s classic opera, but with music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice. Elton John? He’s had hits in every decade since the 70’s and he wrote the music for The Lion King. Tim Rice? He is an award winning lyricist whose credits include shows that he wrote with Andrew Lloyd Webber; Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. This is his third project with The Walt Disney Company. He worked with Alan Menken on Aladdin, and Elton John on both The Lion King and Aida.

youth in this area, including soccer, baseball, fun camps, horse events, and theater. And while sport activities are often available, I know of few communities of our size that give kids age 8-21 the opportunity to perform in a fully realized theater production. Few people realize the army of volunteers it takes to mount a production. Every child and most parents have been involved with costumes, sets, or selling tickets. These kids deserve to have a full house for each performance. All the great elements of Disney story telling are here; the beautiful princess, the heroic soldier, the evil magician. Just like a great Disney cartoon, there is action and adventure, a love story and a few bits thrown in for the adults. So while you might not be as familiar with the songs from Aida as some of the other shows listed above, I promise you that when you leave the theater you will be humming the tunes. The music includes Rock and Roll, Reggae, Motown, as well as the beautiful ballads that Elton John is known for. The box office is open at the TLT workshop - stop in and get your tickets for Aida and for the 8-12 year olds childhood classic production of Charlotte’s Web. Get out of the heat this summer, support the community you love, and come experience wonderful theater. — Chris Tinkler forever a Gamecock.

PCHS trio named to all-state team Senior Williams earns honors with Hrobak, Montgomery By John Clayton

Following polk County High school’s inaugural softball season in Class 2a, the Wolverines have placed three players on the division’s all-state team. senior center fielder Nikki Williams, sophomore catcher alyssa Montgomery and sophomore pitcher Jamie Hrobak were named to the all-state team when rosters were announced earlier this week. Williams, who just graduated and will attend appalachian state, hit .413 and stole 18 bases. she was an all-district selection twice before, but this is her first all-state nod. “this is something Nikki really wanted after being named all-district twice,” said pCHs

head coach Jeff Wilson. “It was a goal for her.” Hrobak earned all-state honors for the first time after going 16-7 on the rubber, striking out 214 in just 128 innings of work. she earned 16 of the team’s

Dear Savvy Senior In one of your recent columns (What Healthcare Reform Means for Seniors) you wrote that seniors with a Medicare prescription drug plan could get a $250 rebate check when they hit the donut hole. I’ve just hit it! What do I need to do to get my check and how long will I have to wait? Need Help Dear Need, One of the key benefits for seniors in the new healthcare reform law is improved coverage for Medicare Part D beneficiaries. Here’s what you should know. Donut Hole Rebate This year, seniors who have a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan are automatically eligible to receive a one-time $250 rebate check if they hit the “donut-hole” coverage gap and are not already receiving Medicare “Extra Help.” Medicare expects around 4 million Part D beneficiaries will actually hit the donut hole in 2010. The donut hole begins after you reach $2,830 in total prescription-drug spending and extends until your total drug costs for the year reach $6,440. Within that gap, you generally have to pay the bills out-ofpocket. After that, your Part D plan usually covers 95 percent of your remaining drug costs for the year. Again, you just need to reach the donut hole to qualify for the rebate. You don’t have to spend $250 within the coverage gap first. And you don’t need to fill out any forms to get your
