BBQ festival will continue, chamber says The Blue Ridge Barbecue and Music Festival still lives. The Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce, which manages the event, announced Wednesday night that it will continue to hold the BBQ festival, whose future has been in doubt. The chamber canceled the 16-year-old event in early January, citing the financial risks and drain on the chamber’s volunteers and staff. But the community rallied to save it. The chamber board relented and offered to consider Scenes from this year's Blue Ridge BBQ and Festival, held June 11-12 at Harmon Field continuing one more year, if the Music in Tryon.

St. Luke’s raise raises eyebrows by Leah Justice

A two percent raise given to St. Luke’s Hospital employees recently has become a political issue for the eight candidates seeking seats on the Polk County Board of Commissioners this fall. That’s because last June, the current county board gave the hospital $285,000 to back the hospital’s growth plans after hearing reports that without assistance the hospital could be in trouble. The county had received the $285,000 from the sale of the county-owned James Tool building in Columbus. Polk County began renting its 111 Locust

Street building to James Tool Machine & Engineering in 2005 as an incentive to bring in jobs. James Tool began its operations with 10 employees with plans to grow to 30 employees. In 2008, James Tool decided to purchase the building from the county for $285,000. At the time the county planned to use the money as seed money for other business incentives in the future. Although all five sitting commissioners and the five candidates now seeking seats unanimously expressed support for St. Luke’s as a vital part of the community, their opinions

Nearly 30 volunteers show up to fix 'Grandma’s porch' New porch construction set to begin over weekend by Leah Justice

The fixing of “Grandma” Ida Mae Wright’s porch in Landrum began with demolition efforts on July 14, which brought 25 to 30 volunteers. Work is set to continue over this weekend. New wood has been purchased and local contractors are scheduled to begin constructing the new porch. Contractors are working to recycle any materials possible from the old porch.

The community has rallied to raise money for Wright, whose house was condemned last month because of its unsafe porch. Estimates to fix the porch ranged from $5,000 to $35,000. The community has raised a little over $5,000 for the effort. Other repairs to the late 1800s home are needed, but no estimates for repairs needed on the back porch or inside of the home have yet been made. Donations are welcome for the project and can be sent to the Wright Donation Fund, 144 N. Trade St., Landrum, S.C. 29356.

Volunteers rally at Grandma’s house on July 14 to begin demolishing the front porch. Construction on the new porch is scheduled to begin over the weekend. (photo submitted)

Blood drive set for July 31 in Landrum to honor McEntire by John Clayton

While Landrum native Janice Pate McEntire wages a battle with cancer, her family has decided to work toward giving something back. The family is hosting a blood drive in honor of McEntire from 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m. on July 31 at Fred's and Burke’s Outlet, 215 W. Rutherford St. in Landrum. “It dawned on me that there’s the possibility that we could help by having a blood drive for her,” said sister-in-law Teresa Pate. “This isn’t going to benefit her financially or anything like that, but I think it’s a way to kind of give back to other people – the strangers that have given here or there to help her. “It’s a way to make a positive out of a negative.” Pate said she is hoping to have 75 or more people sign up for the blood drive and is currently about halfway to that number. McEntire, 65, has been diag-

nosed with multiple myeloma, a type of lymphoma that attacks different areas of the body and primarily strikes those over the age of 50. It is treatable for the more than 20,000 cases expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. this year, but not curable. So far, McEntire has undergone a series of blood transfusions, a stem-cell transplant as well as chemotherapy and radiation treatments. “She has been to the gates of hell and now she’s turning around,” said Pate. Pate said she is “hoping and praying” to get the numbers of blood donors necessary to make the blood drive a reality. “The main thing is to branch out and let it be known that this is going on,” said Pate. “I hope it will be a thing where the community comes together. I still believe there are good people out there who want to help.” For more information, call Pate at (864) 457-4592.

ideas to the chamber Wednesday evening. Saying they felt the proposal set forth a workable plan, chamber members decided to continue holding the festival. Some of the highlights of the proposal are: • Chuck Britton will be chairman of the 2011 festival. • Peter Eisenbrown will be in charge of sponsorship and, along with a group of four others, will plan the sponsorship campaign. In keeping with the festival's longstanding practice, Eisenbrown will work as a contractor in this role. He will also work in the areas of entertainment (assisted by Bob Sinclair) and finance/budget (assisted by Stacey Lindsay and Pat Martin, who will again supervise the counting house). • Carl Wharton and his crew will manage the BBQ contest. • Kelly Sparks will run the craft fair. • Chairman Chuck Britton

Millard's email acknowledged the contributions made to the festival by a number of people, including Dale Musselwhite, Bill Crowell, Brenda Bradshaw, and Carol Lynn Jackson "Many other people deserve credit for the festival's 17-year record of success, of course." Millard said. "2010 was a year when many stepped up and/or stepped back in after being absent for a while (Gail Muir comes to mind), and of course our veritable army of volunteers is what really makes the event special."

varied when asked last week about the financial assistance given to the hospital last year. Four of the five sitting commissioners who voted yes still think it was the right vote. Only county chairman Cindy Walker expresses some regret. Of the non-incumbent candidates, Republicans David Moore, Ted Owens and Tom Pack all three say they think that Polk County economic development money should have been rolled over and used to again create new jobs, as was done with James Tool. Democrat Margaret Johnson says she thinks the hospital dona-

tion was a good investment for Polk County, even though it was earmarked as economic development money, while Democrat Benny Smith disagrees those particular funds should have been used. St. Luke’s CEO Ken Shull says the $285,000 gift was a smart economic development investment by Polk County. (See full statement, page 10.) The money was used to strengthen the hospital by implementing phase I of St. Luke’s “Strategy for Growth,” he says. “It’s important to know that these funds were project specific and utilized for no other purpose than to strengthen a successful hospital service line,” says Shull. “Growth in our orthopaedics pro-

gram has indeed generated increased revenues that have cascaded to other services provided by St. Luke’s. Many counties our size, unfortunately, have lost their hospital and safety net.” Those hospital losses have created negative economic impacts for those counties, Shull says. As for giving St. Luke’s employees raises this year, Shull said, “After salaries and wages had been frozen for 12 months, our board of trustees voted unanimously to share this success with those who’ve worked hard to help improve St. Luke’s financials – our staff. Though small, this raise is extremely important to employee morale and retention – especially in critical needs areas for highly trained medical professionals on call 24/7, 365 days a year.” Nonetheless, the county’s $285,000 gift has turned into an economic development and political topic. Last month, St. Luke’s submitted an article to the Bulletin saying its board approved a pay raise as hospital finances have improved. Polk County’s budget, which was being debated at the same time, includes no county employee increases for the second year in a row. The county also cut funding for its economic development director and a custodial position. (The Republican candidates are also questioning the elimination of the county economic development director position in times such as these.) When St. Luke’s representatives came to commissioners in June, 2009, hospital officials and supporters said that the hospital was in an emergency situation financially and could be forced to close its doors. Commissioners formed a committee to look into the hospital’s financial conditions, and voted unanimously on June 22, 2009 to give the hospital $285,000 from the sale of the James Tool building, a decision backed by the Polk County Economic Development Commission (EDC). County commissioner Tommy

Melton, the county’s representative on the St. Luke’s Hospital Board of Trustees, made the motion to grant the hospital the money. Melton, an independent candidate for re-election this fall, says he supported the decision for improvements to the county-owned hospital building then and feels even better about it now. Since the time of the gift, Melton says, the county has seen its donation spent on a portable x-ray machine, computer software, a scheduling module, IT/Fiber optic project, office renovations and orthopaedic marketing. Melton also said that during the period of transition, the hospital cut jobs, which put greater demands on the remaining employees, who even with the two percent raise have salaries below the state median. “I feel even better now than I did when I made the original motion,” Melton says. “St. Luke’s has now seen seven months of financial improvement. The $285,000 was well spent on machines, renovations, etc., but the real key to any successful operation is its employees.” County chairman Cindy Walker, however, says she now feels differently about the gift considering the hospital’s quick financial turn around. Walker says she voted in favor of the donation after two months, four meetings, two Power Point presentations and joint hospital and county committee recommendations appeared to demonstrate that one of Polk County’s largest employers was truly in “dire straits.” “I am amazed and puzzled at the ‘turn around,’” Walker says, “particularly in light of the statements made by commissioner Melton, voting member of the St. Luke’s Board of Trustees, in April 20, 2009 approved minutes.” She quoted Melton from the minutes as saying, “‘This really is an emergency situation,’ and that he wanted ‘to move forward and be progressive, and not wait until the hospital does close.’” “To think that a $285,000 shot

chose to make after much deliberation and careful consideration and I think it was the right decision for Polk County.” Republican candidates for commissioner disagree and say if help was needed, it shouldn’t have come from the Economic Development Commission seed money. “No, I would not have voted to give that $285,000 to the hospital,” says Republican candidate Ted Owens, “because it had been set aside for the purpose of attracting and assisting new businesses like James Tool to come to Polk County to provide jobs for the working people of Polk County. “However, I would consider helping the hospital if they could justify it, but I would have taken the funds from undesignated funds and not the EDC fund.” Owens says he served two terms on the hospital board and would rather go to St. Luke’s than other hospitals, but he doesn’t see the county being able to replenish the EDC fund for a long time. Commissioner candidate David Moore also says he disagrees with how the county funded the hospital with EDC seed money. Moore says the previous board of commissioners voted to use the seed money to reinvest into small businesses to create jobs. The St. Luke’s gift did not create jobs, Moore says. “How many other businesses are going to come forward asking for money if the county is going to be passing money out like it did for the hospital. I absolutely do not approve of this transfer,” said Moore. “Consider this, the money could have funded the EDC director’s position for several years.” Commissioner candidate Tom Pack says he believes it is important that the county keep St. Luke’s open for business. He said the county needs to look at a true merger with a larger hospital system that will invest in St. Luke’s, not just manage St. Luke’s with no investment. “My understanding is that this money ($285,000) was not used to create more jobs at St. Luke’s,” (Continued on page 9)

said Pack. “Economic development seed money should be used to create more jobs in the county and have a return so that the seed money is replenished for future job creation. By giving this money to St. Luke’s it is lost money that will not be returned to the economic development commission’s seed fund for future job creation in the county.” Democratic commissioner candidate Margaret Johnson says she understands the frustration of people who are also working hard and making sacrifices but are not getting raises. She says she is sure the hospital meant well by approving raises. However, she says giving raises so soon after asking for taxpayer assistance, especially when others are still sacrificing, does not do much for creating good will. “Under better circumstances, I would have liked to see the $285,000 from the James Tool building used to attract another business and create new jobs for our county, but the commissioners did the right thing when they acted to protect existing hospital jobs,” Johnson said. “This outcry over the raises is a reminder that during hard times, it is very important to make sure sacrifices are shared equally and that we can no longer afford to ‘go it alone.’” Democratic commissioner candidate Benny Smith says he recognizes the importance of having a stellar health care system and completely supports St. Luke’s, which is one of the county’s largest employers. “Having stated my support for our health care system, I do question the timing of the transferring of funds from the sale of the James Tool Building in the sum of $285,000.00,” Smith said. “Also, no one can dispute that employees feel valued and appreciated when appropriately compensated. I am concerned, however, about the funds that were allocated to be used initially for the Incentive Policy for Economic Development and whether or not they were dis-

tributed appropriately when they were transferred to St. Luke’s Hospital.” Commissioner Renée McDermott, who served as the county’s liason on a joint committee during the request for funding last year, says the county’s 20/20 Vision Plan calls for support of St. Luke’s expansion and service plans. “I supported the grant, as did my four fellow commissioners and the Polk County Economic Development Commission, whose advice we specifically sought,” said McDermott. “I continue to believe the support for St. Luke’s was warranted. A viable community hospital is vital to our county, both from a health standpoint and economically.” McDermott says St. Luke’s is the second largest employer in Polk County, and “it would have been unthinkable to allow St. Luke’s to close its doors, as the commissioners were repeatedly warned could happen without outside assistance and without quick action by St. Luke’s itself.”

commissioners to support the first phase of a strategic plan that would improve the financial viability of the county’s small hospital yet large employer. Granting those funds, hospital officials proposed, would allow us to upgrade infrastructure, information technology, surgical technology and marketing. These upgrades would enable St. Luke’s to better compete for orthopaedic business, bringing in patients from across the state and across state lines. With economic development funds available, the commissioners appointed a task force to begin discussions on how best to use those funds to benefit Polk County. The task force was made up of representatives of St. Luke’s Hospital and Polk County, including the Polk County Economic Development Office.

the commissioners in 2006 and the next board in 2007, which included commissioners Watson and Melton, wished not only to purchase the building for office space, but to also provide an approximately $175,000 donation of taxpayer money to St. Luke’s Hospital for capital improvements,” Gasperson said. Gasperson says he was initially against the $285,000 gift to the hospital, but after the committee was formed and hearing strong recommendations, he voted in favor. “It now appears that the funding along with the hospital eliminating some positions, raising fees for medical services and hard work by personnel has resulted in a major improvement of the financial picture for the hospital,” said Gasperson. See above for a full response from St. Luke's Hospital, and look for full responses from commissioners and candidates for commissioner in upcoming editions of the Bulletin.

Editor’s note: The following statement regarding Polk County’s donation to St. Luke’s Hospital was issued last week by St. Luke’s CEO Ken Shull and is reprinted here in full: As Polk County’s largest private employer and our community’s safety net, St. Luke’s Hospital approached the Polk County Board of Commissioners last spring to explore funding support for a strategy that would strengthen our ability to meet the healthcare needs of our community. Faced with challenging times in healthcare delivery, many community hospitals have closed, leaving a critical void in a county’s quality of life and ability to attract or retain industry and residents. We did not want that for Polk County. With numerous citizens voicing their support, hospital representatives asked the board of

McDermott adds that since the grant was made, the hospital has drawn down the money for the specific uses for which it had been designated and carried out its promises to raise money itself and to improve its economic performance by various means, including paying down debt, eliminating some staff positions and raising some charges. Commissioner vice-chair Ray Gasperson, a Democrat who is up for re-election this year, says the history of taxpayer money being used for capital projects at St. Luke’s dates back decades with the building being built by the county in 1972 and leased back to the hospital for $10 annually. In 20062007, Gasperson says, the county paid $400,000 for the purchase of a former doctor’s office now used for county offices, when the building was only valued at $226,662. “One can only conclude that

sioners received our strategy for sustainability and growth. In June 2009, they voted unanimously to grant $285,000 the County received from the sale of the James Tool Building, monies specifically designated for economic development. It’s important to know that these funds were project specific and utilized for no other purpose than to strengthen a successful hospital service line. Drawn down in phases as projects/ purchases have been completed, the EDC funds have been spent solely on the items shown in the table above to complete Phase 1 of St. Luke’s Hospital’s Strategy For Growth. Growth in our orthopaedics program has indeed generated increased revenues that have cascaded to other services provided by St. Luke’s for the health, wellbeing and quality of life for Polk County residents. This has helped to strengthen our financial foundation, not only as a healthcare provider, but also as a large employer and good corporate citizen.

hard to help improve St. Luke’s financials – our staff. Though small, this raise is extremely important to employee morale and retention – especially in critical needs areas for highly trained medical professionals on call 24/7, 365 days a year. Many counties our size, unfortunately, have lost their hospital and safety net. In these counties, loss of the small community hospitals has had a devastating economic impact. Whether through volunteerism, philanthropy or county assistance, community support is vital to the stability of a community hospital, especially in areas with little population or county growth. Without doubt, the county’s investment has proven successful. St. Luke’s Hospital is stronger and leaner and here to provide exceptional care, close to home, thanks to the support from our county and our community. — Ken Shull, CEO St. Luke’s Memb Hospital

ment Ordinance (UDO) committee, which has broad countywide representation, is just now beginning to organize and evaluate our current land use ordinances and will then make recommendations to implement the Vision 20/20 Plan. I would want to see the specific ordinances before deciding how I would vote, but I do support establishment of these sectors. *** Tommy Melton: Yes, Yes. Allow me to quote the following from the Vision 20/20 plan concerning the Conservation Sector: “These portions of the county represent the ecological backbone of the community, providing critical habitats for wildlife; protection of water quality and protection from flooding and erosion; and providing recreation and greenspace (open lands) for residents and visitors”. The Greenspace Sector would possibly include natural preserves and natural heritage areas, agricultural operations, public low density recreational facilities, very low density single unit housing and future government civic sites.

State officials said the economy has discouraged farms from making the investment, and most pig farms are served by a membership corporation rather than a public utility participating in the program.

Promises of easy money can be tempting, especially in a tough job market. Who wouldn’t be happy to get a check for thousands of dollars in the mail? But if the check comes with instructions to cash it and then wire money somewhere, don’t bank on it. Counterfeit check scams can start with an official-looking letter, a call from a telemarketer, a job offer, or a response to something you’ve posted online, like a resume or an item for sale. In all of these scenarios, you’re asked to deposit the check and then wire the money elsewhere. But the check turns out to be fake, and any money you’ve wired comes out of your own pocket. There are three main types of counterfeit check scams to watch out for:

seas company. Consumers who respond are sent money orders or checks to deposit and then asked to wire the funds back to the company. In exchange, they’re promised a cut of the money. One North Carolina consumer recently told my office that she got caught up in this scam after responding to a job posted on Craigslist. She interviewed for the job by online chat and then received an email telling her to expect a check for $2,700. She was told to cash the check, keep $200 as a bonus, purchase software with $400, and wire the remaining $1,100 to someone in San Francisco. Fortunately, her bank spotted the check as a fake and she didn’t lose any money.

Debut novel by local author spurs multiple area signings The Hub City Bookshop in Spartanburg and The Book Exchange in Flat Rock are among area booksellers that have invited Robert Lange of Columbus, author of “The Knowing Gene,” to participate in significant upcoming events. The Book Exchange has been a valued literary institution in the Hendersonville area for 30 years and will be celebrating this anniversary on July 31. Lange will be the featured author at the event, signing copies of “The Knowing Gene” from 10 a.m. until

12 p.m. In Spartanburg, The Hub City Bookshop is operated by the non-profit Hub City Writers Project and specializes in new releases, regional authors, children’s books, literary fiction, and history. The business will celebrate their grand opening on August 20. Lange was invited to participate in the event. Publishing his first book, Lange says he has been surprised by reader reaction. “Feedback has been universally positive with two comments in particular almost always made:

‘Wow, that would make an awesome movie!’ and ‘When will the sequel be out?’” Lange has been involved for several years in the local Big Brother/Big Sister program, and has engaged some of the kids he has worked with to contribute. “I gave Jacob, my ‘Little,’ the choice between being the President or with the CIA – he immediately opted for being the spy! His classmates have begun requesting roles in the sequel. I’ve got requests for everything from a pet parrot to an assassin. It should be an interesting story!” Lang says.

Lange has also been invited to sign his book at Mountain 1st Bank in Hendersonville on July 29. The Book Exchange is located at 2680 Greenville Highway in Flat Rock and the Hub City Bookshop is at 186 West Main Street in Spartanburg. Signed copies of “The Knowing Gene” can be found at several Tryon booksellers, including The Village Book Shoppe on Maple Street and The Book Shelf on Pacolet Street, and the book is also available through Amazon.com. – article submitted

the plane was in the process of loading. The only overhead bay space available for the bag was about 14 feet beyond my seat. This presented an interesting problem on departing the plane (I have heard it said if you go to heaven by Delta, you will go through Atlanta, but I have not had an occasion to personally verify it). My disposition was somewhat restored by a soft drink and a two ounce bag of peanuts. In fact, I was given two bags which I am sure was a gross violation of company policy. Learning a little from my trip out, I checked my bag and paid the fee on the way back. I do not attempt to understand the system, but this time I changed

As I settled in my seat, I ordered a soft drink along with the two ounce bag of pretzels this time. I began reminiscing. I actually could remember back to when you looked forward to a delicious meal and everything was included in the price. There is a rumor that if I fly standing up, the price is reduced and you can save even more if you are willing to sit on the wings. I will allow some adventurous soul check out those rumors.

Red Cross encourages donors to be a lifesaver this summer Blood drives to be held in Polk County in August In the summer, a baseball coach balances his busy work schedule while still making time to donate blood after the big game. A physical therapist works to better patient lives every day and helps save them by donating blood every eight weeks. What many don’t realize is that during the busy summer season, blood donations often decline due to vacation and summer activities, while the need for blood remains constant. That’s why the American Red Cross is telling individuals that no matter what your occupation, “You Can Be A Lifesaver This Summer. Donate Blood.”

By donating early in the season, blood donors can donate two or more times during the summer months, helping ensure blood is available for patients throughout this critical time. On Thursday, August 5, the Polk County American Red Cross Chapter will hold a blood drive (located at 231 Ward Street in Columbus) from 2 to 6:30 p.m. Call 828-894-2700 for further information or to schedule your appointment. All presenting donors will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a $1,000 gift card. On Tuesday, August 24, the St. Luke Hospital Blood Drive (located at 220 Hospital Drive in Columbus) will be held in Classroom 704 from 12 to 4 p.m. Call 828-894-2408 for further information or to schedule your appointment. All presenting donors will be entered in a

drawing for a chance to win a $1,000 gift card. On Thursday, August 26, the Tryon Estates Blood Drive (located at 619 Laurel Lake Dr. in Columbus) will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Contact Susie Lindsay at 828-894-3000 for further information or to schedule your appointment. All presenting donors will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a $1,000 gift card. Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. The American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region provides lifesaving blood to patients in 103 hospitals. Approximately 1,600 people need to give blood or platelets each week day to meet hospital demand. The Red Cross encourages

people who are in good health to donate so that hospital patients have the blood or platelets they need to make a full recovery. Blood is needed to help treat a variety of patients including accident victims and individuals undergoing surgery and cancer treatment. Blood can be safely donated every 56 days. Most healthy people age 17 and older, or 16 with parental consent, who weigh at least 110 pounds, are eligible to donate blood and platelets. Donors who are 18 and younger must also meet specific height and weight requirements. Call 1-800-RED CROSS (733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to learn more about giving blood or platelets or to schedule an appointment to donate. – article submitted

Did you know Polk County 4-H has been recycling aluminum beverage cans since 1984? At the time the local 4-H program was in dire need of a 15-passenger van. Their solution was to take the funds raised by recycling aluminum cans to help purchase a van. 4-H started its very own “Can for a Van” project and has been actively recycling aluminum cans for 26 years.

Don’t get steamrolled by paving scams by Attorney General Roy Cooper

As the weather heats up, so do home improvement scams. My office recently took action against two companies that used high-pressure sales tactics to trick consumers, especially seniors, into paying too much to have their driveways paved. Consumers complained that these companies starting paving jobs within minutes of getting them to sign a contract. Courts have responded by banning one of the companies from residential paving in North Carolina and restricting the operations of the other after a $50,000 payment. Paving scams tend to follow a pattern. Someone knocks on your door, claiming to have

extra paving materials from other projects in the neighborhood. They offer what they say is a low price to repave your driveway. The crew starts work as soon as you sign a contract, if not before, and demands payment immediately. In many cases, the work and materials turn out to be substandard and many consumers have to pay another paver to re-do the job. Consider these tips to help avoid falling victim to a driveway paving and other home repair scams: • Avoid high-pressure tactics. Don’t be pressured to sign right now or lose out on a great deal. This is a common tactic of scammers to stop you from checking them out, looking for a better price, or taking time to make your decision.

HOT DOG!

• Never pay in cash. Try to use a credit card to pay for goods or services you purchase from a door-to-door salesperson. Most banks and credit card companies will allow you to dispute the charge if you discover a problem. • Consider a cooling off period. Before you sign a contract and pay any money, take at least a day to think it over. Call friends and relatives to get their thoughts about the purchase. Make sure to get written estimates from other local paving companies before you make a decision. • Do some research first. Check with your local law enforcement, my Consumer Protection Division and the Better Business Bureau to see if there are complaints about the

company or similar companies before you sign a contract or pay any money. • Know your right to cancel. North Carolina law gives you three days to cancel certain purchases or transactions even after you’ve signed a contract and paid your money. For sales of goods or services that take place away from the seller’s normal place of business, such as at your home, consumers have three days to cancel by returning the written cancelation form. To report a home repair scam or any other violation of the three-day right to cancel, contact my Consumer Protection Division at 1-877-5-NOSCAM toll-free in North Carolina or online. – article submitted

The2x10 forecast of more temperatures in the 90-degree range for 7/23 the next 10 days in North and SouthNSSA-037568 Carolina will continue to create problems for motor vehicles, since intense heat can be as inimical to the operation of a vehicle as cold weather. In its Car Care Centers and Emergency Roadside Service, AAA Carolinas has seen recent spikes in service related to higher than normal temperatures. “It’s going to get worse in the next week or so with sustained high temperatures and when combined with increasing summer travel, vehicles will be stressed,” said David E. Parsons, president and CEO of AAA Carolinas. “Preventative maintenance is vital to helping avoid a heatrelated breakdown and the sweaty hassle that occurs getting your car towed or repaired,” Parsons said. July is the hottest month, on average, in both North and South Carolina. Last month Raleigh and the Triad reported the hottest June in a number of decades and Columbia, North Charleston and Greenville all recorded their warmest or second warmest June in decades. Heat-related repairs and maintenance performed in AAA’s 28 Car Care Centers in North and South Carolina jumped 15 percent higher during the heat wave in late June. Emergency Road Service calls climbed 18 percent to 25 percent in North and South Carolina. Some tips for motorists on how to prepare their vehicle for hot weather include: • Have your oil checked (AAA recommends changing oil every 3,000 miles) and review the list below. • Have air and oil filters checked. • Check windshield wipers for cracked or hardened rubber. Summer thunderstorms can be fierce and poor windshield wipers hamper good vision. • While tires are still cold, check tire pressure to ensure proper inflation. Look for bubbles, blisters, worn tread and other weak spots. As heat builds up,

Mccurry Deck nissan - page 19

tires expand and any weak spot can lead to a blowout or flat. • Hot weather can shorten the life of a car battery. Test and replace weak or old batteries. Make sure battery fluids are at the right level. • Check your anti-freeze/coolant levels. Incorrect levels or mixture can cause the engine to overheat. Also check transmission, brake and power steering fluid levels. • Have your cooling system pressure checked. This will show any leaks in radiator hoses or head gaskets. • Look for spidery cracks or wear and tear on your engine hoses and belts, including belt tension. If a hose is spongy, it needs replacing. Some tips for when you are under way on a trip include: • If you notice your temperature gauge rising (a frequent occurrence in slow bumper-to-bumper or stalled traffic), turn the air conditioning off, open the windows and turn the heater on. You may be uncomfortable but it will force heat away from the engine and buy some time before finding a service station. • Keep a summer emergency kit with bottled water, reflective red emergency plastic triangles, a cell phone, flashlight with extra batteries, a first aid kit, a hat or umbrella to protect yourself outside the vehicle and non-perishable snacks. • Remember to never leave a child or pet unattended inside a vehicle. In just 83 degrees on a sunny day, the inside of a car’s temperature can rise to 109 degrees in just 15 minutes. Heat exhaustion begins to occur at 90 degrees inside the car. • Never leave your car unlocked around small children, as more than 25 percent of heat-related car deaths occur when unattended children crawl inside an unlocked car and do not know how to exit. AAA Carolinas, an affiliate of the American Automobile Association, is a not-for profit organization that serves more than 1.8 million members with travel, automobile and insurance services while being an advocate for the safety and security of all travelers and motorists. – article submitted

Local triathlete rides for a cure LHS AD

will hold meeting for parents

‘Ironman’ felt pain of Alzheimer loss by John Clayton

this past week’s ride to remember to benefit the alzheimer’s association is one Landrum’s Land Heintzberger doesn’t want to forget. “I was so impressed by everyone there – they all had such passion for the cause,” Heintzberger said. “I was impressed by all the people involved and all the organizing efforts. It was inspiring to be around such a great group of people.” Heintzberger, a triathlete who formerly raced for a professional team in germany, rode the 280 miles from simpsonville, s.C. to the historic streets of Charleston’s Battery and rainbow row along with 59 other cyclists. the combined effort raised $37,000 for the alzheimer’s Foundation and awareness about the disease. But Heintzberger was already well aware of the costs that alzheimer’s can weigh on a family. “My grandmother (Jean Loveday) passed away from alzheimer’s about two years ago, and I moved here with my family to help take care of her,” Heintzberger said. “going through that experience and seeing the effects

of alzheimer’s made me want to do the ride to remember after finding out about it.” He also said he was dismayed to learn some cold statistics about alzheimer’s over the weekend, including one that says the number of cases of alzheimer’s is growing while deaths from other dread diseases are on the wane.

“It affects everyone in the family,” Heintzberger said. “When you see someone you love going through that awful experience – it’s like you lose them before they’re gone.” While Heintzberger would normally be used to a long bicycle trek, a shoulder injury has kept him out of competition as a (Continued on page 52)

Obituaries

Wolfgang ‘Wolfie’ Lonnes Born in Neuss, Germany in 1935, Wolfgang “Wolfie” Lonnes’ first years entailed memories of blaring sirens, bomb shelters, cellars and smoldering buildings – all sad realities of World War II. Fortunately, his entire family relocated to Eschenlohe, a picturesque village nestled in the heart of Bavaria. Adventures from the next ten very formative years spent amidst a large and loving family and robust farm community – hiking and skiing in the Alps, playing soccer, running footloose and fancy free with the village boys (and later girls!) – painted the backdrop of Wolfie’s many tales. His ability to welcome friends of various ages with a generous drink, a comfortable rocker by the fire or a slow boat ride around Lake Lanier most often included an entertaining anecdote or two from these early years. In 1956, at the age of 21, Wolfie embarked on a threemonth visit to the United States – an endeavor that happened to extend over the next 54 years of his life! Not only did his professional career with Milliken & Co. begin in Bucks County, Pa., but also his love and commitment to Joan Zimmermann Lonnes. The couple married in 1959 and were almost immediately hit with Wolfie’s two-year stint in the U.S. Army (one, in Korea). He had an intense dislike for warfare but became a very proud naturalized U.S. citizen. He loved this country and saw it as a land of opportunity in which hard work is rewarded. An avid horseman, upon his return to civilian life in Pennsylvania, Wolfie and two friends founded the Bucks County Hounds, which he proudly served as treasurer.\ Wolfie’s determination and absolute dedication to his work

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

quickly propelled him through the ranks to become a Milliken plant manager. Following the birth of their son Michael Wolfgang, and daughter Jessica Maria, Milliken transported the family down South where Wolfie’s career unfolded in several plant locations. Although a 44-mile trek each way to his new mill in Golden Valley, he found, fell in love with and purchased the home of his dreams: the old River House located in Tryon’s Old Hunting Country where he rode to the Tryon Hounds. The “Sand Ring” was always available for schooling horses and hosting events of the Carolina Carriage Club. For the next 41 years, and even up to a week before his passing, Wolfie devoted countless hours, sweat and soul to the restoration and upkeep of his beloved pastures, stables and property which was recently placed under a conservation easement with Upstate Forever. He duly served on the boards of directors of Tryon Riding & Hunt Club and The Sheltered Workshop and on the board of advisors of Gardner-Webb College. He was a charter member of The Monday Evening Club, a forum organized for “intelligent and tolerant discussions” of the arts, music, sciences and other cultural subjects. When the hard work was over, however, Wolfie loved to play – anything from a number of competitive sets of tennis to a round of golf to a fierce game of backgammon with his children and, later, his grandson, Sebastian Lukas Portuondo. Most of Wolfie’s so-called play time included sharing with others: trail riding through the Hunting Country, entertaining at the River House, taking his children and their friends to Sugar Mountain for night skiing in “only a corduroy and a sweater,” teaching over a hundred relatives and friends to water ski at Lake Lanier, admiring the sunset over Tryon Peak, shooting fireworks from his boat on the 4th of July, hosting an animated Steeplechase

group each spring…. Wolfgang Lonnes lived his life with a capital “L”. He was a man known for his passionate, dedicated, fastidious, reliable, generous, fun-loving, adventurous and utterly fair approach to life and the world around him. Wolfie loved to hear the sound of horses trotting on the gravel road outside his kitchen bay window and to listen to Mozart or German zither melodies while spending hours at his desk “keeping the records straight.” He appreciated a delicious meal, a solid read, a household filled with visitors from near and far, a well-told joke, contagious laughter, a meandering drive with his ‘67 Mercedes. A faithful dog and purring cat counted amongst his friends. As many know well, Wolfie’s positive attributes were many, his rainy days few. He will be sorely missed in Tryon, the greater community and far beyond. Left to celebrate his life and cherish his memories are wife, Joan; son Michael and wife Beth of Redondo Beach, Calif.; daughter Jessica, partner Michael Wilder and grandson Sebastian of Richmond, Va.; brothers Kurt and Rudolf; sister Anita and her husband Dr. Gunter Van Endert; sister Helma von Jordans; sisters-inlaw Hannelore, Doris and Eleanore; many nieces and nephews as well as numerous cousins throughout Europe. In honor of his international community of family and friends, Wolfgang Lonnes will be interred in the garden of Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Tryon, as well as in the Lonnes family grave in Neuss, Germany, to join his grandparents, parents and oldest brother, Robert. A memorial celebration of his life will be held on August 13, 2010 at 11 a.m. in The Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross, Tryon. Gifts in his behalf will be gratefully acknowledged by a charity of one’s choice.

Making gifts to charities Q. How do I document non-

cash gifts to charities? a. Carefully

Donations of $250-500 must be acknowledged in writing by the charity. Donations of $501-5,000: in addition to the other acknowledgement, the donor must show how they acquired the property, the date it was acquired and its adjusted basis. Donations over $5,000 require a written appraisal in addition to the acknowledgment and other information. If the donation is more than $500,000, then the appraisal must accompany the tax return. Call (828) 696-1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

To the Editor: About a year and four months ago (March 9) I was in your paper. I escaped from the courthouse and got away on foot. Unfortunately, I got caught only

to a particular issue)? Where to Look One of the best resources for locating volunteer opportunities in your community is at serve.gov, a website managed by the Corporation for National and Community Service. Serve.gov works with a massive search engine called “All for Good” that lets you look for volunteer opportunities in your community that appeal to you. Hosted by Google, “All for Good” lists thousands of opportunities from nonprofits and volunteer listing organizations across the U.S. And, if you don’t find anything in your area that sparks your interest, serve.gov can even help you create your own volunteer project. They offer an online do-it-yourself toolkit to help you develop a project, and will let you register it on the “All for Good” search engine so you can recruit others to join you. Another great site that can help you search for do-good opportunities is createthegood.org. Developed by AARP, this site is geared towards 50-plus volunteers and offers a bevy of tools, tips and videos that are very helpful. Senior Corps If you’re age 55 or older, the Senior Corps is another volunteer option you should check into. Senior Corps matches retirees with community projects and organizations that need experienced volunteer help. It provides training and guidance and gives

Dear Savvy Senior, Where’s the best place to find good volunteer opportunities? Since I retired, I’d like to do a some volunteering, but most of the opportunities that I know of don’t get me too excited What can you tell me? Unexcited Volunteer Dear Volunteer, For many retirees, finding a volunteer opportunity that satisfies your interests, utilizes your talents and matches your availability can be challenging. Fortunately there are some great new resources that can help you search for volunteer opportunities in your area, or even create one on your own. Here’s what you should know. Getting Started Volunteering is a great way for retirees to make a positive contribution to the community, not to mention it’s good for your health too. But how can you find the right opportunity for you? Here are some key questions to ask yourself to help get you pointed in the right direction. • What types of organizations or activities are you interested in? • How much time are you willing to give: Once a week, a few times a month, or every so often? • What kind of skills can you offer a volunteer organization? • Where and how do you want to serve? • What do you want to gain from your experience (for example, meet new people, learn new skills, help those in need, exposure

The chamber just completed a marketing seminar presented by consultant Don Hoffman. Local business reps attended the three-hour session. Beth Romney of White Oak Manor stated, “Having spent most of my business career in marketing, I really appreciated Don’s approach. He showed how marketing can be just as successful when it is simple and not expensive. I hope you will do this seminar again so more can attend! It was interesting, informative, and enjoyable and time well spent.” Future programs are sales on August 10, operations on August
