Polk could close on property by end of year by Leah Justice

Community has raised $5k so far for Grandma Wright Porch construction set to begin tomorrow by Leah Justice

A community effort to fix "Grandma’s house" in Landrum is off to a good start with donations totaling $5,024 so far. Ida Mae Wright, 77, who lives on North Trade Ave. in Landrum, was alerted in June that her house had been condemned because her

front porch was unsafe. The city gave Wright 30 days to begin work on the porch or she would have to vacate the property. After hearing that her grandmother’s house had been condemned, Angie Crummie, Wright's granddaughter, began an effort to get help. She posted Facebook messages that spread quickly, video-

Polk trio hears talk by Ott, biologist, expert on oil spill recovery Editor's note: This is the third in a series of articles about the efforts of Samantha Lovelace and other local residents to help in the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill. The first article ran on Tuesday, June 29, and the second on Friday July 9. by Emily Riddle

When Samantha Lovelace, Quincy Jackson and Chris Riddle traveled to the Gulf Coast in June, they saw firsthand that clean up of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is likely to outlast its news coverage. In other words, the communities along the coast may slowly slip from the headlines in the coming months, but their ways of living will be drastically changed for years to come. No one is more familiar with this fact than Riki Ott, a marine biologist from Alaska. She witnessed the Exxon Valdese oil spill in 1989 when she was working as a commercial fisherman in Cordova, Alaska. As her website states, she saw how “the local economy, communities and thousands of miles of environment [in Prince William Sound] were devastated.

And then ignored.” The trio from Polk County heard Ott speak in Fairhope, Ala. “We couldn’t have felt any better if Wonder Woman had shown up,” said Lovelace in her blog. “She’s the nation’s leading expert on recovering from this kind of disaster. … Some of what she had to say was hard to hear, but she didn’t scare us either.” Resources on Ott’s website list potential health problems caused by chemicals in crude oil and dispersants including damage to the respiratory system, kidneys, liver, circulatory system and immune system, among others. While some effects of oil toxicity are immediate, some of these health problems can take time to develop and present, says Lovelace, so they are included in the long-term effects of such disasters. Ott’s focal message is public health and the environment, according to Lovelace, and her manner of speaking empowers listeners. Delivering facts about toxic water and resulting environmental concerns can Riki Ott

The county has obtained funding through the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund, which will finance the purchase of a 48-acre riparian area (permanent conservation easement required), the N.C.

Fanslow gave commissioners an overview of the project recently and said the vision for the project is to create a nature preserve that will be low maintenance and low cost to the county. “It’s going to be a very uncomplicated plan,” Fanslow said. “The vision is to preserve the site for the future.” The land is situated along almost a mile stretch of the Green River and includes part of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, which follows the route of assembly of the American Patriot army which decisively defeated an American Loyalist army at the battle of Kings Mountain, S.C., in the fall of 1780.

trails and park features, but will be reimbursed for that funding. The county will have one year to build the trails, but it is possible to get an extension if needed. The county was awarded $221,856 and $52,144 from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund for property acquisition and transaction costs respectively. The county also was awarded $179,760 and $20,400 from the Natural Heritage Trust Fund for acquisition and transaction costs respectively. The purchase price of $830,000 will be good through Dec. 31, 2010. County officials say they expect to close prior to that date.

with its Overmountain history, the Alexander’s Ford site is also thought to be at least a transit location for native Americans. Tribal archaeologists as well as the National Parks Service is very interested in doing searches on the site, he said. According to Fanslow, fishery will be important in the Alexander's Ford park, as will the nature trails. He said the site will possibly have paddling stops along the river, historical re-enactment areas, picnic facilities and a modest parking area. When botanists went out to survey the property, they were very impressed, Fanslow said, stating that the area is a well designed botanical garden. The property has 11 different communities of outdoor study, Fanslow said, including wet and dry fields, sand bar, alluvial forest and mesic forest communities, just to name a few. The PARTF money Polk has been awarded will be provided in two sections, $367,877 for land acquisition and $132,123 for park planning. Polk County will have to come up with the $132,000 Basic map of the Alexander's Ford site along initially to build the the Green River.

taped her grandmother sitting on her porch and posted that recording on youtube. The video has been watched hundreds of times since it was posted. The family also sent requests for help from the television show "Extreme Makeover Home Edition." More attention was brought through a front page story in the Friday, July 2 Bulletin. The community responded quickly to the plea for help. “This project has brought an entire community together and not just that though, it has brought family and friends together too,” said Crummie. “I have seen and spent time with so many people that I have not seen in ages.” The Celtic Tavern held a benefit called “Banding Together for Grandma” last Saturday, which raised $3,348. The benefit featured local bands and was an all-day event where a couple of hundred people attended. Work on Grandma’s porch

will begin tomorrow at 9 a.m. and will be done completely with volunteers. Wright attended Saturday’s event at the Celtic Tavern and family members said she had a blast and is thankful to the community. Crummie said her grandmother had never set foot in a bar prior to Saturday. Estimates to fix the front porch have ranged from between $5,000 and $7,000 for materials, not including additional costs such as port-a-jons, food and drink for volunteers. Estimates for other work needed in the house have been as high as $35,000. Other repairs needed include fixing the back porch, which is leaking, and repairs to the inside of the late 1800s home. Wright and her late husband, Lee Wright, bought their house in 1969. Wright said the house was kept up until her husband’s death about 18 years ago. She has had two strokes and suffers from a few diseases, including diabetes and arthritis, and says it’s impossible

to do repairs or afford to pay for repairs on her fixed income. Landrum officials say they had to condemn the home for Wright’s safety, as the roof of the porch is failing as well as the floor. Officials say the family has been great in this situation and they will work with the family as long

as work gets started. Work and volunteers are being coordinated by local contractor Dek Kennedy. Donations can still be made for the cause by mailing checks to First Citizens Bank, c/o the Wright Donation Fund, 144 N. Trade St., Landrum, S.C. 29356.

Mother, son arrested for fraud; victims may include Polk woman by Leah Justice

An 82-year-old Polk County woman is believed to have been a victim of Sue Carswell Hyder and her son, Terry Hyder, who are suspected of defrauding elderly people of money. FBI investigators have arrested Terry Hyder, of Orlando, Fla., on charges of fraud. Investigators say Terry Hyder cheated families of Alzheimer’s patients out of $500,000 by selling them fraudulent tax certificates. His mother, Sue Hyder of Bostic, N.C., was arrested last week after investigators discovered she and other employees were creating fake handicap placards and issuing them to non-disabled people. The Forest City DMV ofFax to: they worked, has been fice, where

closed during the investigation. Investigators say they think Terry Hyder met the Polk County victim through his mother, who established a relationship with the victim when she came to the DMV agency in Forest City to get her tag. They say they believe the Hyders defrauded the elderly Polk woman of $120,000. Federal agents are still investigating the Hyders in an attempt to determine if there are more victims. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office was also involved in the case of the Polk County victim. The Polk County Department of Social Services alerted the sheriff’s office in April that an elderly woman had been defrauded of $120,000.

The wise elders (wise guys) who sit at the kingdom’s council table with hiz-honor-da-peoplesmayor, decided to drop the law suit that was intended to force a hundred or so people to become loyal minions of the Tiny Kingdom. This was after the smartest guys in the room spent about a quarter of a million dollars on this foolishness. As you know we have always had a few silver tongue devils living here in The Tiny Kingdom, well my friend the deal I’m about

the city slicker said he was going to use his own money to restore the depot to its original 1906 appearance. Now, the town says it will apply for a $25,000 state grant and, in spite of the fact that it’s going broke, will contribute $5,000 in local funds for restoration of the depot. Plus the wise elders agreed to pay $1,000 from administrative services, I guess that means legal fees or trash pick-up, they’re both posted in the same column in the accounting ledger.

If the depot is restored to its 1906 appearance (the exterior has been restored so I assume everybody is talking about the interior) the city slicker will be conducting business in a large room with wooden benches and a small Station Master’s office with public access available only through a small barred window. (Give me two one-way tickets to Enronville please and one round trip to AIG Town.)

And of course for historical accuracy everything will have to be labeled. Well my friend I must go now. I’m off to visit the wise elders, I have a bridge in NYC they might be interested in buying. I’ll even put up $10 to help restore it! – John Calure

Thomas donates scooters to benefit breast cancer research Jerry Thomas and DayStar Enterprises donated scooters at the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club’s June show. Raffle tickets were sold for one scooter and an auction was held for the other. Together $2,023 was raised for breast cancer. All of all monies raised were donated to the Bearden Josey Center for Breast Health through the Green Gate Fund. Thomas wanted to give every-

one a chance to win while giving back to the community. “I am happy to be able to provide and give back and so very thankful for a healthy family. Sooner or later it will all make a difference,” he says. The Tryon Riding & Hunt Club, Laura Weicker, and Mitzi Lindsay assisted with this fundraiser. – article submitted

The Western Carolina Classic Radio Club will meet on Monday, July 19, Studio 118 on the Isothermal Community College Polk campus. Note the changes in program start times for the July and August meetings. At 2 p.m., the Summer Jazz Series will feature “Chick Webb: A Legend.” Webb fought off congenital tuberculosis of the spine and became one of the most competitive drummers and bandleaders of the “big band era.” At around 2:35 p.m., the radio/segment will be a club comedy special, “The Suits.” Professor Hoyt will be trying to stump the audience at intermission with his trivia special. Around 3:10 p.m., the old time radio presentation will be Philo Vance, “The Little Murder Case.” Philo Vance, a popular fictional detective of the 1920s and 30s, moved from

S.S. Van Dine’s novels onto the silver screen and radio. The aristocratic amateur sleuth was portrayed in more than 100 radio broadcasts by Jackson Beck. Vance aired on various networks from July 1945 to 1950. Jose Ferrer played the first Vance in 1945. Everyone is welcome for an hour and a half of free fun. As always, no officers, no committees, no dues, no fees, no constitution, no minutes, no reports and no meetings. – article submitted

Discounted Penland classes available for area residents Penland School of Crafts has open spaces in several of its fifth summer session classes available at half tuition to residents of the following Western North Carolina counties: Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Cherokee, Graham, Clay, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Transylvania, Watauga, and Yancey; and the following counties in East Tennessee: Carter, Cocke, Greene, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi, and Washington. Regular room and board charges apply, but students are not required to stay on campus. The session runs July 25

through August 10 with openings in clay, drawing, glass, metals, printmaking, wood, and a special class for artists in any media. Two clay classes are available. Sam Chung’s class will cover construction and glazing techniques for intermediate potters. Students in Kenneth Baskin’s class will make ceramic sculpture using slab construction. In the drawing studio, Arthur Gonzalez will help students discover and make drawings from their personal symbols (this class requires some drawing experience). Glass artists Marc Petrovic and Ross Richmond will lead an intermediate-level class in hot glass sculpture, with an emphasis

on torch work. Jeweler Deb Karash will teach an intermediate-level metals class in which students will impose various limitations on their work as a way of inspiring creativity. Metalsmith Marlene True will inspire her students to make jewelry from tin cans combined with other materials. Printmakers Morgan Calderini and Nicole Chesney will cover a variety of techniques for making prints working with sheet glass as the printing plates. Wood sculptor and furniture maker Wendy Maruyama will teach an intermediate-level class in creative woodworking. And sculptor Christina Shmigel will

teach an unusual class titled, “All About the Why,” that will use a variety of exercises and assignments to help students explore the sources of their own creativity. Classes listed as intermediate level require some prior experience. Other classes are open to students of all skill levels. Complete details are available in the summer classes section of the Penland website: www.penland.org. To enroll, call the Penland registrar at 828-765-2359, ext 15. The Penland Standby Program offers discounts to area residents who take unfilled spaces in Penland classes shortly before the classes begin. – article submitted

fighter in Iraq with Wackenhut Contract Services. Dorsey has been in the fire service for 18 years serving as both a career and volunteer firefighter/EMT with Westview/ Fair Forest Fire Department, Acta Medical in Greenville as an EMT and most recently as a volunteer with the UNA Fire Department in Spartenburg. “We continue to be grateful for the extra funding for career staff, with the growth and demands of our community, but we are always in need of volunteer firefighters and first responders to keep our community safe,” Bryan G. Riebe, chief of Glassy Mountain Fire Department, said. “Many folks do not know that we also need help from citizens who can provide support to the district but it doesn’t have to be fighting fires. We can use mechanics, electricians, painters, technical and legal experts, etc.” If anyone wants more information on how to become part of the team, they should contact Riebe at 864-895-4306 or go to the website at www.gmfd.net. – article submitted

The staff and medical staff of St. Luke’s Hospital have been recognized for their outstanding job of providing quality care to patients, once again rising to the top in patient satisfaction. St. Luke’s was named as a 2010 4-Star Award Hospital by Professional Research Consultants (PRC) for achieving excellence in patient satisfaction. Hospital leaders from across the United States gathered in San Diego in June to participate in the 2010 PRC Excellence in Healthcare Conference hosted by Professional Research Consultants, Inc. PRC is a nationally known healthcare marketing research company headquartered in Omaha, Ne. In compliance with the Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS), St. Luke’s Hospital joined hospitals across the country to participate in CMS’ standardized patient satisfaction survey known as Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, or HCAHPS. Pronounced “H-caps,” the survey is the first national, standardized, publicly reported survey of patients’ perspectives of hospital care. According to CMS, many

kellymoving - page 4

hospitals have collected information on patient satisfaction for their own internal use, but until HCAHPS there was no national standard for collecting and publicly reporting information about patient experience of care that allowed valid comparisons to be made across hospitals locally, regionally and nationally. For St. Luke’s Hospital, this inpatient service research is conducted by PRC. Following discharge from St. Luke’s, PRC professional surveyors contact patients via telephone for a confidential interview to assess their perceptions of patient care. The research findings are then presented to St. Luke’s to use in continuous improvement and enhancement of patient satisfaction. This data is also used to benchmark against other facilities in the Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS), which provides management assistance to St. Luke’s. “We are thrilled to receive this Excellence in Healthcare Awards,” said St. Luke’s President/Chief Executive Officer Ken Shull. “It was through (Continued on page 38)

Now to the younger Rita’s account, I will add what the late Betty Doubleday Frost told me about the Drama Fortnightly: It began by gathering for script readings around a table. Soon friends started coming just to listen, and then the readers began to plan ahead and memorize their parts so that the lovers would not be hampered by their scripts and bifocals. Lead characters soon began to dress for their parts, and by then the audience size and a desire for sets to complete the illusion of reality required a theatre building. I think the fine arts have flourished in Our Area because so many talented people have chosen to live here. I suppose they attract each other, and some of them even have the means to foot the large bills associated with bringing their love of the arts to life. My mother and Aunt Mildred did not “cram culture down my throat,” but rather shared their love of music and the fine arts with me so that I would come to love them too. I thank the people of Tryon for providing one of the best secondary school systems anywhere, and for bringing the likes of Mrs. Mazzy here to broaden our education to include the fine arts. May the Tryon Little Theater and The Fine Arts Center continue to enrich our lives for years to come.

From blacksmithing to set design, from nervously speaking in public for the first time to explaining to your parents the complexities of firing clay, students explored and developed an appreciation for their unique abilities and where those abilities can take them later in life: a priceless experience. Families and students who had never set foot in either of these Grand Dames of Polk County felt welcomed in facilities where they could otherwise have felt uncomfortable; this is a tribute to both of their fine staff. Bringing families and students together to promote learning is the intent of this program and collaboration with the community is strongly encouraged. But, as I have become aware from other 21st CCLC Directors across the state, this is most often easier said than done. When I talk with professionals, both on local and state levels, about all of the resources that are available to us in Polk County, there is this sense of awe and envy for what we have grown accustomed to and take

Letter to the Editor

We have a village that helps children To the Editor: Many of you may or may not be aware that Polk County Schools operates a federally funded 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program which provides for Extended Learning Opportunities for students and their families. As the Program Director, I wanted to share with the community the partnerships we have forged with area organizations and to highlight a few of those collaborations. Two local arts organizations, Tryon Arts and Crafts and the Tryon Fine Arts Center, eagerly agreed to host students in third through eighth grades for a two-week learning experience in June, one in the area of drama and the other in the area of arts and crafts. Students worked with many of your neighbors and friends to broaden their outlook on the world.

for granted here. From what I have observed and have heard as I travel to meetings in cities like Raleigh, Greensboro and Charlotte, this generous spirit of community does not exist in other areas, or if it does, then not to the degree that it does here in Polk County. During this year alone, our students have been entertained at the Children’s Theater Festival’s Super Saturday, have developed a caring spirit for animals from the volunteers of the Foothills Humane Society, have explored hobbies and careers in the arts from Tryon Arts and Crafts, have fortified their self esteem through the camaraderie of theater at the Tryon Fine Arts Center, have broadened their knowledge of natural science and the environment with the staff from FENCE and have come to appreciate the value of character from the staff at Steps to HOPE. They have worked with the Extension Office on Community Service, attended performances at Roger’s Park, have employed gardening tips from the Saluda Garden

Friday, July 16, 2010

Club and have been the recipients of much-needed weekend food supplies from Thermal Belt Outreach. The list goes on and on as these are just a few the organizations that I have been directly involved with over the years. So in this current economic state where many of our treasured organizations are struggling to survive, I am concerned about what we might lose as a community and once lost, how life will be forever changed in our quite corner of Western North Carolina. I am in awe of the caring and generous folks who make up the Boards of Directors, who volunteer and who support and sustain the local organizations and agencies that make each of our lives fuller. Many of you may not be aware of how far your donations of time and money reach and nurture not just our children, but all of us. It has become cliché to say that “it takes a village,” but I know first hand that Polk County has truly given substance to that notion and we are all richer as a result. – Emily H. Bartlett

Colonel Stacy Yike assumes command of 66th Air Base Group Col. Stacy L. Yike, the daughter of Roger and Marilyn Yike of Columbus, was recently named the commander of the newly activated 66th Air Base Group, Hanscom Air Force Base, Ma. The group supports the acquisition mission providing base, regional and readiness support for Electronic Systems Center, six Program Execution Offices, AF Research Laboratory and MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The support region includes eight operating locations, 122,000 sq. miles, 350 programs with a $4.2B authority, 7.5M sq ft of facilities and over 200 geographically separated units composed of 20,000 military, civilian, contractors, dependents and 155,000 retirees in the six-state New England area and New York. Colonel Yike received her commission as a distinguished

graduate in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship program at Clemson University in South Carolina in 1989. She began her career in satellite system acquisition with assignments first at Los Angeles AFB, Ca., and then the National Reconnaissance Office in Chantilly, Va. During this time, she participated in a space shuttle launch of the Defense Support Program satellite and developed groundbreaking international agreements to collaborate with U.S. allies on space systems. Her Air staff tours include serving as a Congressional Liaison Officer and the Deputy Director of Mission Support, Congressional and Budget for the Directorate of Space Acquisition. As an action officer on Joint Staff, she supported coalition activities from Western European allies for Operations

Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. At the squadron level, Colonel Yike commanded the 338th Training Squadron at Keesler AFB where she led 200 personnel in the training of 5,000 airmen annually to develop communications-electronic systems maintainers for the United States Air Force. “Air Force Print News Today” released the following press release about Yike’s new position: “Col. Stacy L. Yike, commander of the newly activated 66th Air Base Group, has two priorities: the mission and the people who make it happen. “‘These priorities certainly aren’t new to anyone who has been around the Air Force,’ she said. ‘They form the foundation that we all live by. Hanscom is full of experts who already know how to accomplish the

mission, so my part is easy. I get to ensure the people have what they need to take care of themselves and take care of the mission.’ “While Colonel Yike has served in diverse roles throughout her career, in each of them she has served as a translator - not just interpreting language, as she did in Portugal as an Olmsted scholar, but also conveying user requirements to engineers as she did while working satellite programs. While serving with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, she worked with Western European allies to build the coalition in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. On Air Staff she developed the Air Force message on the space budget priorities.

us better support the overall Air Force mission.’ “One of the near term challenges to accomplish the mission will be resources. Colonel Yike adds that the perspective of fiscal shortages is not just a Hanscom issue or even an Air Force issue, but one that most Americans are facing today. “‘We are figuring out at an individual level how to manage the resources we have within our own families,’ she said. ‘The Air Force mission is no different. As stewards of the American tax dollar, we have

to make sure we’re doing our part.’ “Colonel Yike’s guiding principle is to engage in activities that make a difference. “‘That is the reason I have remained in Air Force all these years,’ she said. ‘I always felt like I was doing something that mattered.’” “‘I look forward to being a part of Hanscom Air Force Base and contributing to the mission that makes a difference in our Air Force and our nation,’ Yike said.” – article submitted

Your Papers” Law. She ends with the statement that what he is looking at is fear. Since I spent the first 29 years of my life in the Southwest-including graduating from the University of New Mexico and teaching in NM for four years, I can categorically state that racism historically runs deep there — and

it is not too difficult to find it. It is true that it is less respectable now than it was when I was growing up, but it is there nonetheless. On the other hand, it is perfectly true that the Arizona Immigration Law is based on fear, because much of racism is simply fear of the differently colored.

Since much of the current “debate” on immigration is based on an irrational sentiment, we can expect little progress in this area until we recognize the reality of fear and determine to work towards rational solutions — based on democratic, humanitarian principles. – Bill Holcomb

One man's trash is another's treasure 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.

To the Editor: The Polk County Sheriff’s budget this year includes money for a new truck and “box” to transport dogs to replace the current aged equipment which does not comply with NC minimum standards. It was hoped that the money could be found in the budget for a climate controlled box, but only the minimum “fresh air” ventilation system was approved. This equipment will be in service for many years, and only $2,100 more would pay for heating and air conditioning necessary to keep the dogs in a

Letter to the Editor

The uniform To the Editor: Here is a poem that suits my feelings for coaching my son for the last time. It has been the greatest thing in the world. Thank you for the memories The Uniform For eight long years I’ve washed this suit and goodness, what a chore! I’ve scrubbed the grass, the blood and dirt, the stains and grime galore. I’ve held it very gingerly as I dropped it in the wash While thinking, “Next week, wash again – O gee, Oh lord, Oh gosh!” I’ve opened all the windows as I squirted on the Shout I’ve breathed the fumes that clogged my lungs, of that I have no doubt. The fortune on detergent, the time I’ve spent – I shudder! I’ve scrubbed out so much sweat and mud you now can call me “Mudder”! But now I’ve washed this uniform for the last and final time And after all those years of drudger, I did not see the grime. Instead I saw the boy who wore it, with such pride and dignity And suddenly that athletes suit looked beautiful to me. I saw the dedication of my young man to the team His pride to wear the uniform, to play the game and dream. I felt the cheering of the crowd, the tumult at the end The heart, the spunk, respect and pat of every loyal friend. The character and commitment that this jersey helped to mold And the precious boy who wore it are more valuable than gold. My wish now recreation play is over and I face it’s closing door Would be to wash this uniform another season more. – John David Edwards

Letter to the Editor

Guice explains vote against 2010 state budget To the Editor: This afternoon I made the following remarks on the floor of the North Carolina House of Representatives against the budget bill. I still believe that we must find a better way to conduct the business of the people in Raleigh. My friends I stand before you today as a humble servant of the people of my home district and all people throughout North Carolina. Since joining this chamber in January of 2009 I have come to know many of you around this room as friends. At the very least, you all now know me as someone that will reach across the aisle and put the needs of the people of North Carolina first. Always! Once again we are faced with a terrible budgetary situation and once again I stand here on the floor of the North Carolina House of Representatives and say to you that the people of North Carolina deserve better. The process remains broken. We still have not established priorities and we still have not made funding decisions based on these priorities. As members of this legislative body we were handed an appropriations act yesterday that we are expected to debate and vote on by the end of today. We are digging a financial hole that will take us generations to fix. We are elected to represent the people and give a voice to their needs and their concerns. I sat down and read through

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

this budget and I have to ask the question, where is the voice and the will of the people? Where is the vision from this legislative body? We are tasked with charting a course, a strong and positive course, for the people of North Carolina. Have we done that? I would say no. The people expect us to work in a bi-partisan manner to address their issues and by not allowing everyone in this chamber the opportunity to sit at the table we have not done that. The people of North Carolina deserve better... the people of North Carolina deserve our best efforts. Colleagues, I have another question for you. As a state government, what is our greatest asset? If you answered our state employees are our greatest asset you are correct. This budget, if adopted, does not fulfill our promise to our state employees. State government makes a promise to each employee when they are hired that they will have a top notch retirement system in place when it comes time for them to retire. Based on this appropriations act it is very possible that we will shirk that responsibility this year. We must fund our state retirement system at the levels required to support and protect the promises that have been made to our state employees. The time is now to stand up and say that we are going to do better by our state employees and indeed all people throughout North Carolina. If you are newly out of college, what is the incentive to be a state employee in North Carolina? I think we can all agree that, unless you are a top department executive who does not work

in the field; the pay is not that great. As members of this body we have talked and talked about how the state health plan is in dire straits. And now we are once again talking about not funding the state retirement system at the required levels. Shame on us. What is interesting to me is that I have heard for years from people I have great respect for that this is just how the North Carolina General Assembly would treat state employees. One of those people is my high school principal, Mr. Tommy Koontz. Unfortunately, I can report back to him that he was right. We have an obligation to our state employees and all people throughout North Carolina because yes, they deserve better. Trust me, I could go on and on about the negative points in this budget, but they are too numerous to mention here today. I support our teachers, our firefighters, our law enforcement officers, our small business leaders, our nonprofits - truly all of those people throughout North Carolina who sacrifice daily to make their neighbor’s lives better. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I cannot and will not support this bill. The people of North Carolina deserve better. The people have been listening. The people have been watching. And yes, the people have been paying attention. Soon it will be time for the people to speak and I believe that they will speak with a resolute voice that change is needed in Raleigh. — Rep. David Guice, District 113, N.C. House of Representatives

Tips To Help You Stay Fraud-Free Give a thief your wallet and he'll steal for a day. Give him your personal information and he'll steal for life. Nobody wants to become the victim of fraud. Here are some tips to stay protected: • Stay on top of your finan-

cial activities. A lot can happen when you're not paying attention. Check your bank statements often and carefully, and don't wait until the end of the month to review them. Make sure to report anything suspicious immediately. Don't deceive yourself into

thinking you needn't worry about fraud. Staying alert can help to keep you fraud-free. You wouldn't leave your house unlocked or your keys in your car, so why would you leave your personal information unprotected? — NAPSI

Like most festivals, Coon Dog Day is about a good time. Have a beverage, have some food, see your friends. But under a tent on the Saluda School ball field on the south end of town is where Coon Dog Day becomes serious business. I consider myself a dog person – I like them and they, for the most part, like me. My 8-year-old Boston terrier, Harley, is pretty much my kid. But Coon Dog Day attracts real dog people, the ones who spend countless hours and good fortune seeking a champion. the alphabet soup of kennel clubs doesn’t really matter beyond a little politics, but winning certainly does, whether showing or hunting or both. Winners are crowned and hard work is rewarded. From a sports standpoint, this past weekend’s coondog competitions – hunting, showing and treeing – are not exactly what you see on cable television coming to you live each year from Madison square garden. there are no handlers, no tuxedos and no Labra-doodles. there are no hair stylists and the only perfume is applied to a stuffed raccoon – an apparent gallon or so of odiferous, eyeburning natural ’coon oils, and they’re strong enough to open up the nasal passages of dead coondogs from graves in Dark Corners. the stuffed raccoon is in a cage and hoisted to the top of a tree that looks like it doubles as the tent center pole and the dogs come in and bark. the dog that barks the most over the course of a minute is the treeing con(Continued on page 28)

Saluda-born breeder is ‘all-in’ by John Clayton

at least for a little while during Coon Dog Day in saluda saturday, Chaos ruled. and saluda native William Whitman couldn’t have been prouder. His 13-month-old plott Hound – registered as show Champion Knight rider’s Complete Chaos – came away a winner as Best Junior plott Male. “this feels absolutely wonderful,” said Whitman, who has attended Coon Dog Day annually since he was a child and has competed as a breeder the past three

years. “I was born and raised in saluda, and we wanted to win in our hometown. It’s an honor.” While Coon Dog Day and the accompanying hound competition has been around for nearly 50 years, Whitman is relatively new to the world of competitive show dogs. He has been breeding, handling and showing for 3½ years. But Whitman said a sense of community among breeders – even those in competition with one another – has helped him and Chaos get to this point. “I’ve gotten a lot of advice

sports – page 2

from (fellow breeders),” Whitman said. “You have to know how to take criticism and you have to listen to them. they really do try to help the young people in the sport.” Whitman’s goal, like most in the game, is to raise a dual champion – a championship hunter and show dog. It won’t be easy. “there are so many different facets to this sport,” he said. “You’ve got to spend time with your dogs and work with your dogs. You’re either all-in or (Continued on page 51)

Uno, who was everyman in a dog suit, got to ring the opening bell on Wall street. Maybe the dogs competing at Coon Dog Day such as ace and gaffer and pumpkin, Dixie and gypsy won’t get to ring that bell.

Halo Monitoring (halomonitoring.com) also offers fall detection products, as does Philips (lifelinesys.com), maker of the popular Lifeline Medical Alert Service who just introduced an AutoAlert option. Home Monitoring Another more expensive option for keeping tabs on your mom is with a “home monitoring system.” These systems come with sensors, placed in key areas of your mom’s home that learn her daily patterns and notify you if something out of the ordinary is happening. For example, if your mom doesn’t get out of bed at her usual time, or if she went to the bathroom and didn’t leave it could indicate a fall or other emergency. The great thing about this type of system is it requires no input from your mom, and you can check in on her anytime through a password-protected website. You can find these systems at companies like GrandCare (grandcare.com), Healthsense (healthsense.com), and CloseBy (closebynetwork.com), with prices ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the options you choose.

Dear Savvy Senior, My 80-year-old mother lives alone about an hour from me and I worry about her health and safety. Outside of the telephone, what types of caregiving devices can you recommend that can help me keep tabs on her? Concerned Son Dear Concerned, There are many different tools and technologies available today that can help adult children keep tabs on their aging parent when they can’t be there. Here are some popular options and new products to check into. Senior Help Line One of the biggest concerns among families that have an elderly parent or relative living alone is them falling and needing help. For this, a “personal emergency response system” or PERS is the most affordable solution. For about $1 a day (available through companies like lifelinesys.com, lifealert. com and lifefone.com) you can rent the equipment which includes a small transmitter (SOS button) that your mom would wear, giving her the ability to call for help any time she needs to. The drawbacks, however, are that many seniors forget to wear their SOS button regularly, and if they do have it on and fall, they still have to be alert enough to actually push the button.

Art and collectibles in your estate Q. I have collected art throughout my life; some of it is quite valuable. Is it included in my estate for tax purposes? A. Just like any other asset, art work or other collectibles are included in valuing your estate for estate tax purposes. the value that is included is the fair market value calculated as of your date of death. Frequently we find that a client’s beneficiaries do not share the client’s passion for the collection and may have little or no appreciation of its value. In that case other plans should be formulated for the disposition of the collection upon the death of the collector. If a charitable contribution is contemplated, there are some complex tax rules for valuing the contribution. You should advise your attorney and financial advisors regarding your collection and seek their input on the best way to handle it from an estate and income tax perspective. Call (828) 696-1811 for info on legal planning techniques.

Families at both the Polk County and Saluda public libraries were treated to a swashbuckling program of adventure, history, magic and most of all, reading. Tim Sonnefeldt brought his “Pirates of the Carolinas” 2009 program to the Polk County and Saluda libraries as part of the libraries’ Summer Reading Program, “Make a Splash at Your Library.” (photo submitted)

“Held on the Homefront: German POWs in the U.S.,” a museum exhibit traveling across the country in a bus, is seeking sponsors to underwrite an exhibit stop in Columbus at the Polk County Library. The available dates are Sept. 14-17, 2010. Exhibit organizers say Mark Pomphrey, director of the Polk library, would welcome the exhibit if sponsors can be found.

Let’s talk!

The exhibit is part of “Traces,” a non-profit educational organi1x1created W,Fto gather, preserve zation 10,stories 15, 17, 22, 24, and4/8, present of people from the29, Midwest and Germany or 5/1 Austria who encountered each LARL-028884 other during World War II. “Many of these stories have lain beneath the dust left in the wake of a World War most never thought touched the American Heartland. Traces brushes away LARL-028884

that dust, unearthing an amazing legacy,” says the organization’s website (www.traces.org). “As we learn about these stories, may we rise above – and eventually defeat – the prejudices, fears and conflicts that otherwise demean and destroy us.” For more information, call 651-646-0400, email BUSeumtour@yahoo.com or check the website www.TRACES.org.
