'No margin for failure'
Editor's note: Forty-one years ago today, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. Columbus resident Bud Phillips was a lead engineer for Grumman Aerospace in the development of the lunar landing module. Below, his wife, Dorothy Phillips, tells the story of her husband's work on the project. by Dorothy A. Phillips
The Tryon Daily Bulletin helped me find a relative living in this area when we moved here in 1997.

Sanctuary development behind on paying Columbus water bill Town considers options by Leah Justice
The Town of Columbus is looking into what its legal responsibilities are in maintaining the Sanctuary development’s water system now that the development has fallen $3,500 behind on water service payments. Columbus officials say they have tried unsuccessfully to contact Sanctuary developers about the past due bill.
Columbus Town Council last week directed new Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe to look at the town’s agreement with Sanctuary regarding water service. Under a policy approved in 2008, Columbus gives water customers 11 days after the due date to pay their bill. If the bill has not been paid after 11 days, the town shuts off the water service.

The Town of Columbus approved an ordinance amendment last week that will restrict gaming operations to its I-26 corridor. The town held a public hearing prior to the approval last Thursday. Resident Kathleen Kent asked why the town would bother approving such an ordinance when the gaming operations are close to being banned by the state. “I read in the paper in the last couple of days that both the House and Senate have overwhelmingly approved a ban on this,” said Kent “It would be irrelevant if it’s already been banned.”

developers. The town is also being paid $250 per month to maintain the development’s water system, but the town does not own the system. The Sanctuary issue came up last week when Columbus council member Margaret Metcalf asked why the town is doing work related to water service within the Sanctuary development if the town installed a master meter to allow the developers to handle their own water. Town attorney Bailey Nager explained that the town installed the master meter when it discovered that water was going into the development that wasn’t being paid for by the individual homeowners. Sanctuary officials said they didn’t want to be in the water business for the homes, so the
Town officials said they are going forward with restricting gaming businesses to the corridor because the state ban does not go into effect until December. Town attorney Bailey Nager also said the restriction would be good for the town to keep on the books in case some other type of gaming is allowed in the future. The I-26 corridor includes 500 feet on both sides of the I-26 intersection along Hwy. 108. Businesses currently not within the I-26 corridor who have gaming machines will be grandfathered so they can continue despite the restrictions. The town recently approved gaming machine fees for businesses of a flat $3,000 fee plus $2,000 per machine. If the state bans the machines, the town will likely not have to refund the fees, officials said. town agreed to read meters at the existing homes, but any future homes built since the master meter will be the responsibility of the development. The town also agreed to accept $250 per month to maintain the system for the Sanctuary, Nager said. At one point there was talk of the Sanctuary wanting to be voluntarily annexed into Columbus, but a voluntary annexation requires 100 percent participation by all property owners and a petition was never brought before council. Sanctuary developers did ask the town to take over its water system a few years ago and the town responded that in order to take over the system, the Sanctuary would need to be voluntarily annexed. Columbus council urged Kanipe to continue to try to contact developers regarding the delinquent bill and plan to discuss the issue at a future meeting.

St. Luke’s holds planning sessions Healthcare reform, county demographics and future capital needs are hot topics for St. Luke’s Hospital Board of Trustees, so the first of four meetings was held recently to begin strategic planning for the hospital’s future. Members of the board, the medical staff, the foundation and the administrative team have begun discussions on the hospital’s direction for meeting the healthcare needs of the community. Professionals with Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS) of Charlotte presented the committee with a barrage of numbers, trends and forecasts, government issues and projections that could affect the way St. Luke’s Hospital operates in the future. Committee members openly discussed their vision for the
hospital as well as the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. They discussed the county’s slow growth and aging population, changes in reimbursement and the need to collaborate with other providers. The members also discussed the need to upgrade the 30-plusyear-old facility. During the Situational Assessment, the committee considered “the perfect storm” of internal and external challenges that will affect healthcare providers. With assistance from CHS, St. Luke’s leadership is taking a positive step to prepare for the impact of this storm that is brewing in healthcare. The next step in this process is a planning session on strategic direction. The committee intends to meet again in August. – article submitted

Cost-share grants for organic certification still available Organic growers in North Carolina can still apply for partial reimbursement of the cost of becoming certified or recertified producers through a program offered by the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. “We still have about a third of the grant funds available, so I would encourage organic producers who have gone through the certification process to submit their application for reimbursement,” said Kevin Hardison, marketing specialist with the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. “The deadline to apply is September 30.” Growers who are certified or recertified before September 30, can apply for assistance. The program will pay 75 percent of the cost of certification, up to $750. The program is funded through a $30,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Funds are available on a
first-come, first-served basis. To apply, growers must fill out an authorization form that can be found online at www.ncdaorganic.org. The completed form, a copy of the farm’s certification and a copy of the receipts from the certifying agency should be mailed to the NCDA&CS Division of Marketing, Attn. Kevin Hardison, 1020 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1020. The invoice must show the total cost of certification and the 75 percent portion that is eligible for reimbursement. Growers with questions can call Hardison at (919) 7337887. “As consumer interest in certified products has grown, so has the number of organic producers statewide,” Hardison said. “North Carolina has more than 6,000 certified organic acres, and these farms produce a variety of vegetables, livestock, herbs and other products.” – article submitted

Art Trek Tryon benefits community artists, businesses “Art Trek Tryon: Foothills Open Studios” is almost here. The second annual event is Saturday, July 24, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, July 25, noon to 5 p.m. Forty-one artists in Polk County and Landrum will open their studios and private galleries to the public free of charge. An exhibit of each artist’s work opens at the Upstairs Artspace on Friday, July 23, with a preview party from 5 to 8 p.m. The Upstairs Artspace is the event developer and its chief sponsor. This is a community wide happening in every sense of the description, organizers say. It covers a large geographical area that includes Tryon, Saluda, Columbus, Landrum, Mill Spring and Green Creek. Traveling from studio to studio, people will enjoy the beautiful scenery and relaxed ambience of the foothills. The artists are enthusiastic about “Art Trek Tryon” because it exposes them to a wider audience, plus they can sell art from their studios. Says Saluda artist Bonnie Bardos, “It’s exciting to have people view my paintings and work in progress… I love sharing what I do.” She points out that art lovers like to see the special places where artists create. Other benefactors of “Art Trek Tryon” are area businesses such as restaurants, shops, galleries and gas stations. “We expect ‘trekkers’ will

spend time in our towns shopping, dining and getting to know us better,” says Margo Carter, president of the Upstairs. “The event should grow so that people from all over the Carolinas look forward to coming to the county for this particular weekend.” In addition to support from both the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce and a Polk County Community Foundation Kirby Civic Events Grant, 28 sponsors are helping the Upstairs with the event. They are: • Restaurants: 10 North Trade Café Bakery, The Celtic Tavern, Giardini Trattoria, The Hare and Folk artist B. J.

Be aware of rabies and other health risks of bats indoors During the height of summer and mosquito season, bats flying through the night sky are typically a welcome sight. But when bats venture indoors, it may be a different story. While the insecteating mammals are very important to maintaining ecosystems worldwide, they also can transmit rabies and respiratory disease to humans. One fox rabies case has been reported so far in Polk County in 2010. In 2009 there was also one fox rabies case reported. It is important to keep your animals up to date on rabies vaccines. There are families in Rutherford and Polk county who have received rabies treatment due to bat exposures this summer. The North Carolina Division of Public Health suggests taking precautions to protect yourself and your family: • If you awaken to find a bat in your room, tent or cabin, do not release it. Instead, contact your local animal control to have it captured and tested for rabies. • Seek medical advice immediately. Bat bites can be difficult to detect and may not cause a person to wake from a sound sleep. If you have had any contact at all with a bat, even if you do not
think you have been bitten, you must still talk with a physician. You may have been exposed to rabies. • If you know you have been bitten, thoroughly wash the wound with soap and water before seeing a doctor. • Never handle a bat with your bare hands. If you need to capture it before animal control arrives, follow safety guidelines as outlined in http://www.cdc. gov/rabies/bats/contact/capture. html. A video demonstration is available at http://batcon.org/index.php/bats-a-people/removinga-bat.html. • If bat or bird droppings have caused accumulations in an attic for example, care should be taken to avoid stirring up and breathing the dust. Fungal spores in the droppings may cause disease when inhaled by some people. For more information, see http:// www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2005109/ If you have bats roosting in an unoccupied portion of your home during the summer months, you may be advised to allow them to remain for a short time as long as the bats can be excluded from living areas. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) recom-
mends that exclusion of bats from the entire structure (attics, crawl spaces, etc.) not be performed from May 1 through August 1 because breeding colonies may be present. Removing bats during this time may compound the risk to your health because dead pups unable to fly will remain in walls and attics and mother bats will try to create new entry points to reach them. Removal, or exclusion, may also be illegal if it results in the death of young bats, some of which may be federally protected under the Endangered Species Act. To prevent bats from entering your home, examine your home carefully and seal openings in doors, windows, attics and chimneys that may allow bats access to your living spaces. You may also wish to consult with a trained and licensed Wildlife Damage Control Agent for assistance. A county-by-county listing is available at http://www. ncwildlife.org/Nuisance_Wildlife/Nuisance_Contact_WDCA. htm. For more information on rabies in North Carolina and links to current rabies data, visit http://www.epi.state.nc.us/epi/ vet.html. – article submitted
