Ida Hays Clark, 53, was given 48 months of probation yesterday after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit voluntary manslaughter among other charges associated with the murder of her brother, Jay Clark, V. After hearing harsh statements from Clark's brother, George Clark, who at times stared at Hays Clark during his victim's statement, Judge Phillip Ginn sentenced Hays Clark to probation that includes a year of going to Lydia's Place, a transitional rehabilitation center in Rutherford County. Protesters said they were shocked that the court allowed longer statements from Hays Clark's attorney Lee Atkins than from family members. Atkins spoke of Hays Clark's "newly found life purpose and journey," (Continued on page 3)

Abril sentenced to house arrest again Former sheriff convicted of probation violation by Leah Justice

Former Polk County Sheriff Chris Abril, 48, of Columbus was sentenced to 30 days of house arrest after being convicted of a probation violation yesterday.

Judge Phillip Ginn sentenced Abril during Polk County Superior Court held all this week. Abril's probation violation charge was handed down after Abril withdrew his appeal of a driving while impaired conviction decided in district court earlier this year. On Wednesday he decided to remand his appeal back to district court.

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties

Abril's sentence for the DWI, which occurred last October in Tryon, will be decided later in district court. His previous sentence, before the appeal, was 18 months of unsupervised probation, 24 hours of community service, a $100 fine and court costs. Abril was convicted yesterday (Continued on page 8)

saying she is now "a person who on a daily basis is helping others." Hays Clark pled guilty to felony breaking and entering, felony larceny, possession of a stolen vehicle, conspiracy to commit voluntary manslaughter and solicitation to commit voluntary manslaughter. The maximum sentence for all the charges combined could have been 256 months in prison. Ginn handed down separate sentences for each to run consecutively, including one term of 25 to 39 months at the N.C. Department of Corrections (DOC), one term of 16 to 20 months at the DOC, two terms of six to eight months at the DOC and one term of four to six months at the DOC with 120 days of credit for time already served. The active sentences were suspended to include six months of intensive, or supervised probation, 42 months

of regular probation, one year at Lydia's Place, a $500 fine and attorney fees. In handing down the sentence, Ginn reminded Clark that any mistakes will most likely mean she will serve her jail sentence. "I've given you sufficient rope to pull yourself out of the mud," Ginn told Clark. "I've also given you sufficient rope to hang

yourself if that's what you want to do." Jay Clark V's son, Jamison Clark, and brother, George Clark took the stand to tell the court what their dad and brother's murder has done to the family. Jamison said he is his father's voice and expressed discouragement in how the case was handled and said he feels that no one is

Editor’s note: Following is a statement given by George Clark, brother of murder victim Jay Clark V, during Polk County Superior Court yesterday in the case of Ida Hays Clark, who pled guilty to felony breaking and entering, felony larceny, possession of a stolen vehicle, conspiracy to commit voluntary manslaughter and solicitation to commit voluntary manslaughter. Your Honor: You and I have both been put into unfortunate positions. You are being asked to rule on a case that has not been presented, and I have been asked by my family to speak for my murdered brother, Jay Clark V, and of the events that brought us here. Let me give you a brief and factual background. My older brother lived with my sister, Hays, and her boyfriend,

Trent Miller. Jay V was a gentle man, having never been in a fight nor arrested for any crime. On Jan. 12, 2006, in my sister’s garage, he was shot in the back of the head with a shotgun. He was then dismembered with his arms and legs being sawed off with a chainsaw. His teeth were removed and his body was wrapped in a blanket and buried in my sister’s yard where her grandchildren would later play that summer. His arms and legs were burned in a fireplace; all traces of his identity were removed. For five months we all believed my sister as she told us stories of my brother’s whereabouts and reassured us he was okay, but just out of contact. Three of us actually knocked on every apartment door in town in an attempt to find him. During this time my sister sold

anyone could imagine," George Clark said. "I feel very bad for the people that had to go into that house when brains were still on the ceiling and bones were still in the fireplace." (see George Clark's full statement above). Ginn apologized to Jamison Clark especially, saying he was sorry for his loss of a close family member as well as for what transpired throughout the process. There was also some men-

much," Jamison Clark said. "I hope and pray that she serves every single day." George Clark said this murder affected the whole community. There were 52 people sitting in court who protested this week in front of the courthouse carrying signs and wearing T-shirts asking for Hays Clark to go to jail. "This is the greatest tragedy

off my brother’s cars, an Infinity Q45, his truck and his dune buggy. She signed and cashed my brother’s final paycheck ten days after his murder. She sold my brother’s collection of antique silver and other worldly possessions on eBay. On July 21, someone broke into my office, stealing a car and some computers that were later recovered at her house. At the scene of the crime was my brother’s baseball cap. I contacted my sister and she said my brother had broken into her house the same day and the two crimes must be related. At this point he had been dead and buried for six months. Two months later my sister and her boyfriend were charged with felony possession of cocaine and possession of methamphetamine. Hays was immediately released on bail. The next week she started cleaning up her house for sale. While she was at lunch with her real estate agent, her gardener discovered a shallow grave. Upon Hays’ return, the gardener and a friend showed Hays the gravesite that had been covered with tools. Hays became emotional but eventually agreed to call the police. She did not call the police, but instead she put the

tion yesterday of mistakes made at the sheriff's office under the administration of former sheriff Chris Abril. The judge and attorney Atkins both made it clear that the case was not able to go to trial because of how the evidence in the case was handled at the sheriff's office. Jay Clark V disappeared in January, 2006, and his body was discovered in September 2006 buried beside Hays Clark's home, where she, Miller and Jay Clark were living. Autopsy results showed that Jay Clark was shot in the back of the head with a shotgun and his arms and legs were

tools back over the grave. Subsequent search warrants at her house led to the discovery of the unmarked grave. My sister gave video testimony to the sheriff’s office, detailing the crime, absolving herself of involvement, but implicating herself in the cover up. She witnessed the blood and the body parts but never told us anything. When my nephew was allowed into her house to recover his father’s belongings, there was still brain tissue on the ceiling and bones charred in the fireplace. While incarcerated she wrote numerous letters to another inmate providing vivid details of the crime. I have seen copies of these letters and the court has the originals. The DA’s office asked us to wait patiently while they placed their priority on the Chris Abril sex offender case, a case that was originally dismissed in 1989. Hays’ bail was reduced in spite of our protestations; she was released on bond. At no point in the last four years while she lived and worked in the area has she made any attempt to communicate remorse for this crime in any way. We were summoned to court on a nearly routine basis supporting the court with our presence and answering questions asked of (Continued on page 7)

dismembered with a chainsaw with some of his remains burned in a wood stove. Atkins said yesterday that Hays Clark did not know Miller had killed her brother. "Ms. Clark tells me she did not go into that room," Atkins told the court. "She just couldn't bring herself to believe that Jay was dead. This was a man she housed and fed for several years." Although George Clark said his sister has shown no remorse nor ever said she was sorry for her involvement in their brother's murder, Atkins said she has shown remorse to him and many others. Hays Clark did not offer any comment in court yesterday.

us. After nearly four years of stops and starts, we were informed that Trent Miller was being offered a plea of second degree murder and after some months he accepted, but that Hays’ charge would remain the same. On Monday of this week the arresting officer, Christopher Beddingfield, reassured our family that the trial would be simple. Anyone viewing Hays’ video confesson would see that she was a material accessory to this brutal and senseless murder. Yesterday the D.A. told us that he was not going to try the case. Too much time had passed. We asked the D.A. and his assistants what they thought of Hays’ video confession. Sadly, the D.A. could not recall if he had seen the video or possibly some transcripts.

over and over again. Living with this, and reliving this, has altered the lives of my family forever. We will never be the same. A good, decent man’s life ended in such a horrific manner, with callous and ill intent. Since his murder, my brother, Jay, has missed Christmases, family birthdays, his son’s wedding, the birth of his two beautiful grandchildren, as well as the illness and tragic death of our father. My father passed away while my brother was still missing. My sister told him at the hospital she did not know where Jay was, even though Jay had been buried THANK in her yard for eightYOU! months.

destructive decisions and actions. No one’s son, brother or father should have their life snuffed out in such an angry, disgusting way. Then, after being mutilated to cover up this ugly, ugly act, to be cast into a shallow grave like so much garbage…animals receive more care when they die. For my sister to cite her “stress level” or psychological malady, as what led to the events of that night brings selfishness to a whole new level. She does after all, have a criminal psychology degree. There is no excuse, no amount of pseudo reasoning that will ever justify her very real part in the murder of Jay V. She made a conscious decision, took definitive steps and was instrumental in setting in motion something so unimaginable, so heinous, so irrevocable, so final, there can be no excuses. So, your Honor, you and I are in an unfortunate position; you with a decision to make and me having to explain the outcome to my family.

and the charges came up while he was running for sheriff in 2006. Abril was elected sheriff, then resigned just before pleading guilty to the charges. Abril received a suspended sentence of one to three years in prison for each count of solicitation to take indecent liberties with a minor. He served 120 days of house arrest as part of the solicitation plea deal as well as being on probation until Sept., 2012. The first two years of Abril's probation were supervised. Ginn said yesterday "in effect, he admits his guilt and that would constitute his violation," regarding Abril's decision to remand the appeal back to district court. Abril's probation officer recom-

mended that Abril be sentenced to 28 days in jail to be served on weekends for the probation violation. Ginn instead sentenced Abril to 30 days of house arrest with electronic monitoring. Ginn gave the probation officer 10 days to set up the house arrest conditions and during those 10 days Abril will be on curfew from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. Under conditions of the Abril's remaining probation, Abril must not consume any alcohol or have alcohol on his person. If Abril has a blood alcohol level of 0.02 or greater at any time, he will be in violation, Judge Ginn said. Abril's attorney, David Teddy of Shelby, asked the judge prior to sentencing to take into account that Abril owns a restaurant in town and has two boys who love him dearly. Teddy said Abril is from Peru, came to the United States in 1981 and was BLET certified in 1982 with an extensive background in law enforcement since. He said aside from the current blemish, Abril has no criminal history. Teddy said that Abril has done very well on his terms of probation so far and that he has personally always found Abril to be nice and polite.

• Vision 20/20 (continued from page 10)

extend water lines to their developments and build interior roads that serve lots abutting primary roads. *** Warren Watson: As a contractor, I understand the impact on developers and builders with regard to these types of requirements. For some, it will require re-thinking how development is done, and there is a price-tag associated with these concepts. However, the fact is that the proposed changes are simply good planning. And with good planning, we can accomplish the protection goals we seek, while allowing for responsible development of land in Polk County. The requirements for water line extensions are consistent with our Water Line Extension Policy, and are designed to allow the impact of development to be borne by the developer instead of the taxpayers or water customers. The requirements for clustering prevent sprawl and actually save money for developers on their infrastructure. And requiring interior roads to serve lots abutting primary roads, reduces traffic problems & accidents associated with multiple curb-cuts (driveways) along a busy thoroughfare, which is another direct benefit to the citizens who travel those roads.

Upcoming Questions: Friday, August 6: The Vision 20/20 planners recommend tightening county regulations regarding commercial development, requiring impact statements prior to approval, discouraging strip development, requiring green buffers between commercial centers and roadways, and guiding such development to designated “commercial nodes.” Would you support such ordinance changes? Friday, August 13: Vision 20/20 planners forecast a “serious shortage of affordable housing.” Strategies outlined in the Vision 20/20 plan to correct this shortage include creating zoning districts specifically for lower cost housing, providing density bonuses to developers. What steps would you take to encourage more affordable housing in Polk County?

Parts supplier to create 900 jobs at plant near Greenville 'Fortune' names Greenville one of ‘five great places to retire’

the One North Carolina Fund was awarded to help lure the economic development project. The N.C. Department of Commerce, Isothermal Community College, Rutherford County and Isothermal Planning and Development Commission also helped with the project, which must meet certain investment and jobs criteria to receive the grant.

Greenville had a 2009 median home price of $141,460 and 220 blue-sky days per year, according to "Fortune." “Greenville and its fellow South Carolina cities still give residents a change of seasons and a stable real estate market that never experienced sky-high prices during the bubble,” said Fortune. “One of the biggest draws for Greenville residents is its downtown, which has undergone a 30-year revitalization plan.” The magazine said retirees are buying condos within walking distance to downtown, which offers a city culture and proximity to Charlotte and Atlanta.

low crime and low unemployment, its proximity to the Research Triangle and a high AAA bond rating for the city. Fortune touted the high education level and many health care jobs in Chapel Hill, and more than 700 acres of parks and protected areas around the city. Mount Pleasant, which has made the top 100 twice in the past six years, is the only city in South Carolina ever to make the list. The magazine cited Mount Pleasant’s proximity to the beach and Charleston, a moderate climate and strong schools. The magazine ranked Eden Prairie, Minn., as the top place, noting its family-friendly environment and 5.1 percent unemployment rate.

A Lynn woman was arrested this week on charges of trafficking opium and heroin, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. Chrystal Ballenger, 28, of 1721 Lynn Road, Lot 15, Pinewood Mobile Home Park was arrested and charged with trafficking opium/heroin.

Chief Deputy Calvin Atkins said Ballenger was arrested during a traffic stop by the sheriff’s office and the N.C. Highway Patrol. Ballenger’s 2000 model Honda was also seized in the bust. Ballenger was being held on a $2,000 bond.

Sammie reportedly had lost about 100 pounds, but is now putting on weight again and recovering. The family says it plans to keep Sammie in a protected pasture, away from dogs that may have frightened the pony away. “I do not know how that little old pony lived,” said Marianne Miller. “But I appreciate the help from lots of kind-hearted people.”

Editor’s note: Following is the full response from Margaret Johnson, a candidate for Polk County commissioner, to questions sent by the Bulletin regarding the county’s $285,000 gift to St. Luke’s Hospital last year. An article summarizing the responses from commissioners, candidates and St. Luke's Hospital ran in the Friday, July 23 Bulletin. Look for full responses from other commissioners and candidates in upcoming editions. St. Luke’s Hospital provides vital services for our community and is one of our largest employers. When the commissioners were confronted with reports of the hospital’s severe financial situation and potentially even having to close their doors, I do not think they had any other choice but to give them financial assistance. St. Luke’s is to be commended for a quick financial turnaround. I believe the staff members deserve the raises the hospital board recently approved because much of the financial improvement is probably the result of their additional work and sacrifices. I also understand the frustration the county employees, teachers and others feel when they are also working harder and making sacrifices but are not getting raises. It is easy to apply the same feeling we all had about the Wall Street bankers getting big bonuses after being bailed out to this local situation. While the hospital employees don’t make six figure

salaries and a 1-2 percent raise is mostly a token gesture, it still feels unfair. I am sure the board and administration of the hospital meant well by approving raises. However, giving them so soon after asking for taxpayer assistance, especially when others are still sacrificing, does not do much for creating good will. At the time the money was given, I recall comments being made about increasing the communications between the hospital and county government. These communication lines and a realistic strategic plan for the future of the hospital need to be established. 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. 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”. — Margaret Johnson

Chamber votes ‘yes’ to Blue Ridge Barbecue and Music Festival 2011 Canceled in January, back on thanks to public support by February and a rousing success in June, The Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival’s wild ride in 2010 has resulted in the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors unanimously voting to reinstate the popular festival as an annual chamber event. “Our volunteers from the steering committee to all those who came out to man the event made this year’s barbecue a success for our entire community,” says Peter Eisenbrown, the festival’s entertainment director who unofficially led the charge to keep the event alive. “Though attendance was down, we were still able, through budget cuts

and everyone pitching in, to earn a $30,000 profit.” According to Eisenbrown, part of the proceeds benefit charities in Polk County; part go to support chamber operations. Chuck Britton of C & E Home Improvements and a member of the chamber board has been tapped to chair the event’s steering committee for 2011. He and his committee are already at work on plans to maximize resources and revenues for next year’s event. “We can’t thank our cookers, our volunteers and the public enough for the outpouring of support we received this year.” says Britton. “People wrote in, our cookers signed back up in record numbers, more than 80

people in our community pledged $1,000 each for a rainy day fund, and our volunteers came out and did the hard work of running the event in record heat. All these efforts showed us how much this festival means to our community and has focused us on making the event even more inclusive, so it can have an even greater impact for our entire area.” The 2011 Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival is scheduled for June 10 and 11 at Harmon Field in Tryon.

Isn’t that what economic development funds are designed to do? To the Editor: During my working lifetime I worked for some very good organizations and some very bad. I think all of us share that experience. During the last 13 years of my work life I was fortunate to work for St. Luke’s Hospital. I truly found a home away from home going in to work every day. The management and employees really do want to provide for their patients a loving, caring, comforting environment in which to help people return to full health. During my time there we went through good and bad financial times. It seemed at times that we were on life support and only waiting for someone to pull the plug. At other times it felt as if we had revived and turned the corner. A couple of years ago the hospital chose to be designated a critical access hospital. That meant we would have to close a number of rooms and limit the number of med/surge patients, plus the number of geriatric psychiatry patients. However, in so doing the way the hospital would get paid through Medicare would go up. There by helping the bottom line. We were not going to be limited in our surgical area. We could do more outpatient surgeries, with in house stays of 23 hours or less. As all of us are aware many surgeries that used to require long stays in the hospital are now in and out. The time frame for beginning to receive higher Medicare payments was going to take a couple of years, but all concerned felt it was the right thing to do for a small rural hospital. Just about that time we were blessed to have Dr. Brian Rosenberg come on staff. A highly skilled orthopedic surgeon. He brought with him, youth and enthusiasm plus a desire to create an ultra

modern orthopedic department at St. Luke’s. His innovative procedures have placed St. Luke’s at the head of the class in many ways. People from around the East Coast travel to have him provide them with a new hip, knee, or other procedure. Which brings me to the controversy swirling around the $285,000 economic development money given to the hospital by the county. At the time of the contribution, St. Luke’s was at a cross road. We all knew that if we could further Dr. Rosenberg’s vision of a first class orthopedic center, and operating theaters, combined with our other outstanding surgical procedures, in eye and general surgery, we could truly find the niche’ that a small hospital needs to survive in this day and time. The injection of that money, as designated funds, went to new technology in digital communication, radiology and much needed expansion of the orthopedic office space. All of which will create new jobs and a better more stable bottom line. Isn’t that what economic development funds are deigned to do? As for how that money is returned to the county, let’s take a look. The majority of St. Luke’s employees live in Polk County, or have to pass through it to get home. They shop at our local stores, where they pay sales tax, part of which goes to the county. The own homes in Polk County, pay property taxes, car taxes, fire protection taxes and school taxes. when you consider that there are about 300 + or - employees that is a lot of revenue working its way through the county. Spend money at BiLo, pay the salaries of the employees who spend the money in Polk County which pays taxes and so on and so on. The fact that so many plans are coming together at one time, critical access, more outpatient surgery, Dr. Rosenberg’s world class orthopedics is of great benefit to Polk County. A current commissioner may need to become better (Continued on page 25)

informed before she insinuates that there was some kind of snow job about monetary need. Why not do like Warren Watson and attend St. Luke’s board meetings to learn what is really going on. I was impressed that he had done so. That way he could see for himself what was going on. Some would sit on the sit on the sidelines and Monday morning quarterback. That is the easy way out. Visiting the trenches is a little different. As for me, I now volunteer,

Letter to the Editor

Dollar General an example of ‘grow or die’ principle To the Editor: What is happening to the charming small village of Tryon that I and many others fell in love with? Who were the ones consulted before suddenly seeing a Dollar General hulk looming right in front of a beautiful historic building? The Mayor has said “Tryon must Grow or Die.” Is this the “Growth” he was talking about? I came here from Savannah where destruction

where I can when I can, with the limitations of my visual problems will always support the efforts of the dedicated employees of our local hospital and the administration that is working so hard to move it forward. I would like to add that these are my opinions and mine alone, and do not reflect upon any response by the hospital. I have not asked for or been given authority to in anyway speak for St. Luke’s Hospital. These thoughts come from my experiences and limited knowledge of the inner workings. – David L. Bivens of the historic center had begun. Five Savannah women formed the “Historic Savannah Foundation” and put a stop to the destruction. Could we do that here? If someone forms a committee to keep this “Grow or Die” from inching farther into Our Village, I will join, as I’m sure others will also. The Mayor will be sure to point out that I don’t live in the village of Tryon. But does he think only Tryon residents contribute to the downtown businesses, services, et al? Or care about its charm? If he’s trying to resemble Hendersonville, he may chase some of us away altogether. – Virginia Ambrose

a slap. That is about as far as the similarities went. Other than the young man, the other three built their perception from their cultural experience, background, and beliefs. All of us do this, and it often gets us into trouble. Anytime we try to analyze an event to form our own perception, it is probably better to listen first and then speak instead of speaking first and then listening. A related premise is that “in the absence of fact, we often expect the worst and fill in the blanks from our past experiences and beliefs.” In review, it’s important to remember that perceptions may or may not be fact. One must also remember that people act from their perceptions, which

to them are their reality (at least at the time). If a perception is viewed as accurate and detrimental, work needs to be done to correct the situation (change reality). If it is felt that a negative perception is not accurate, action needs to be taken to change that perception. Taking the time to understand, listen, determine the facts then working to change the situation and/or change an erroneous perception can, indeed, help us all to “live at a higher level”.

WNCWSAWM-037663 holds its own after budget cuts One year after the General Assembly stripped $200,000 from WNCW Public Radio’s budget, General Manager Dana Whitehair says the station is holding its own. Whitehair told the Forest City Daily Courier that listeners came to the rescue during the station’s membership drives last year, feeling the sense of urgency. Three positions at the station were eliminated, but three of the four people affected by the reorganization were offered other positions at Isothermal Community College, where the station is located, the Courier reported in September. Whitehair hopes this fiscal year will be the baseline for the station as it moves forward.

Isothermal Director of marketing and public relations Mike Gavin said the college was pleased with the way the station handled the blow during its 20th year of operation. A series of 21st birthday concerts were held earlier this month in Charlotte, Asheville and Greenville, S.C., and a bluegrass show will be held August 13 at the Don Gibson Theatre in Shelby. A date for the station’s fall fund drive – which typically coincides with the station’s anniversary – has not been set. If you would like to donate to the public radio station, pledges are taken by phone at 286-3636 ext. 357 or online at wncw.org. – article submitted

Marinades for meats, veggies good for health Most everyone knows that marinades make meats and veggies more tender and flavorful, but did you know that they can actually be beneficial to your health? That’s right. Marinades can be good for you. Now, some of you may be saying to yourself, “I thought marinades were mostly salt, sugar, with a little garlic thrown in for taste.” Actually, some are, but others contain antioxidant rich ingredients like olive oil, citrus juices, honey, tomatoes, hot peppers, cilantro, ginger, and fresh rosemary. These ingredients help boost your immune system, protect you from harmful bacteria, and can actually lower your cancer risks. There are several key substances that make marinades healthful.

Letter to the Editor

Insulting to be lectured about fear of the unknown

To the Editor: The more I read “Conversations from Birdland”, the harder I find it to believe that Dr. Weathington is a retired psychiatrist – or perhaps his Birdland is too isolated from reality or maybe he’s just stuck in the 60s. I’ve been actively involved with immigrants for most of my working life. I provided health care to Kurdish immigrants from Iraq after the first Gulf War. I ran a company in which I hired a 4x5 manager from Jamaica business

7/30 C21T-037986

and much of my staff was from Haiti. I could go on but that’s not my point. Dr. Weathington seems to believe the mainstream media’s portrayal of the average American concerned with illegal immigration as a racist and afraid of “the other.” While there are obviously some racist views involved in the immigration debate, the vast majority of people I talk to and live with and whose columns I read concern themselves with the issues of illegality, effects on our economy and national security. While the media try to make this out to be a war against Hispanics, we allow drug smuggling, human trafficking and terrorists transiting through our southern border to enter our

country. We implicitly support slavery as we allow illegals to be hired without worker protections or wage laws. We pay an enormous cost in overcrowded schools and hospitals. And, perhaps worse, we teach our children that some laws are important while others are not and the government gets to choose which are which. But we are a government of laws, not men. And we are a government of the people not the political ruling class. No country that allows anyone to walk across its borders unmonitored will remain a sovereign nation for long. A country that chooses to ignore its laws selectively will soon become a country of anarchists. Our founders developed excellent processes

page

for creating laws and challenging laws. Instead of enforcing our laws our federal government is choosing to spend our tax dollars challenging a state that wants to enforce their laws. And all the while both our government and media try to make this argument one of supposed racism and fear of the unknown rather than one of well thought out policies and common sense. I find it insulting to be lectured about fear of the unknown by someone who has obviously not thought through the deeper issues posed by illegal immigration. I pass a sign for Little Mexico every day on my way home. Haven’t seen a cross burning there yet. Don’t expect I ever will. – Stuart Goldstein

Happy Campers Wolverines hit field for team minicamp by John Clayton

polk County High school football players reported to the team’s on-campus minicamp tuesday, just three weeks before the season begins for the Wolverines at tuscola. “It’s amazing that three weeks from (Friday) we’re playing a football game,” said pCHs head coach Bruce ollis, whose Wolverines are coming off a 10-3 campaign in 2009 that ended in an 13-10 overtime playoff loss at thomasville. the Wolverines caught a small break this week when temperatures, which had hovered around 100 degrees for more than a week, dropped into the 80s. ollis said he started the minicamp a couple of years ago to avoid two-a-day practices when practice officially begins next week. about 38 players, some of whom will spend most of the season on the junior varsity squad, showed up for this week’s minicamp. to all, it’s a learning experience as players attempt to transfer the playbook to the gridiron. “that’s why you have minicamp,” said ollis. “We want to be able to get these kids prepared to be on the field in game situations. It’s not a whole lot different than when teachers put red marks on test papers. We do the same thing, but we do it verbally. sometimes you get on them and sometimes you stroke them a little bit – whatever it calls for.” senior quarterback andre overholt, the Western Highlands

preseason player of the Year, was out of the protective boot he had won since being sidelined with an ankle injury suffered during baseball season, but was not a full participant in drills. “our backup, Cody orick, is getting most of the snaps until we know for sure where andre is,” ollis said. “We’re letting him tell us how he feels. the bone has healed fine, but after six weeks in a boot, it’s going to be stiff and sore, so we’re being careful.” ollis did not rule out sitting overholt for the aug. 20 season opener against tuscola if the ankle has not responded further to treatment. “We want to make sure he’s back 100 percent,” ollis said. sports – page 2

Dear Savvy Senior Do you know anything about the new long-term care insurance program that was part of the healthcare reform law? I’m interested in finding out some of the details but don’t know where to look. What can you tell me? Interested Patron Dear Interested, The new insurance program you’re inquiring about is known as the Community Living Assistance Services and Support (CLASS) Act, which was created to help the vast majority of Americans who don’t have insurance for long-term care. Here’s what you should know. CLASS Overview As part of the new healthcare reform law, CLASS is the government’s first long-term care insurance program that will provide its participants with cash to help pay for longterm care services when they need it. CLASS will help pay for things like home health care, respite and adult day care, home modifications and homemaker services, as well as assisted living facilities and nursing home care. Statistics show that roughly two out of every three Americans, age 65 and older, will need long-term care at some point. While many of the details of this new program are still being worked out, we do know that CLASS will be a voluntary program offered through employers, so to be eligible you’ll

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq. Reasons not to plan Q. are there any reasons for someone to die without an estate plan? a. Yes (tongue in cheek) 1. the state can do a better job deciding how to disburse your assets than you can. 2. the state can choose a better personal representative or trustee than you can. 3. the state can choose a better guardian for your children than you can. 4. the state will use your estate tax dollars more efficiently than your family or favorite charity. 5. Your grieving loved ones will be better off trying to take care of your affairs without your plan. Call (828)-696-1811 for info on legal planning techniques.
