Defense attorney: Clark case compromised by Leah Justice
Court officials implied last week that the Jay Clark V murder case was compromised to the point that the case couldn’t be tried. Ida Hays Clark received a suspended sentence last Thursday after pleading guilty to
felony breaking and entering, felony larceny, conspiracy to commit voluntary manslaughter, solicitation to commit voluntary manslaughter and felony possession of a motor vehicle in connection with the murder of her brother Jay Clark V in 2006. Her then boyfriend, Trent

The Royalty Food Store Inc. in Tryon, owned by Khalid Abuadas, was broken into around 5 a.m. Friday through the roof. Employees arrived to open up Friday morning and found the suspended ceiling caved in and ceiling panels and insulation all over the floor. Entry was apparently made through a vent. The Tryon Police Department was awaiting damage estimates Friday. It was unclear what if anything was taken from the store. Above, Denis Nagle was on the job cleaning up Friday morning, while employee and cook Darlene Smits looks over the damage. Tryon police were investigating, including reviewing surveillance footage.

One man's trash is another's treasure Once upon a time, not
so long ago, a local couple
happened upon a skinny little Appaloosa mare in a dirt lot. Her owner no longer wanted to trail ride her; she wasn’t needed any more. Luckily this couple knew a few things about horses and decided to take her home with them and find the little mare a new family. Some extra food, good grass and a few trail rides later this couple put an ad up in the local feed store. At this very same time, a sweet “horse crazy” young girl had convinced her parents to let her take some riding lessons. She caught the bug and now dreamed of having her own horse. After some poking and prodding her parents answered an ad they found at the local feed store: an Appaloosa mare – for sale! The little girl, whose name is Amanda, met the little mare, who’s name is Nia, and as most dreams happen (when they come true) it was destined they be together.
DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL Amanda Morfino on her new horse Nia, with Renée and Nick Morfino. (photo submitted)
Amanda started to take lessons from a local professional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia
entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dressage class and successfully
completed the cross-country course and stadium jumping. They ended up high point!

Ida Clark’s case are to the appropriate crimes which we can prove based on our evidence. Our evidence showed that she was an accessory, not the actual principal actor in this homicide. We have no comment on the question of the possibility that parts of the investigatory file in the hands of law enforcement before being delivered to my office, may have accidentally been compromised as early as 2007. Except, to report that our subsequent investigation of those circumstances indicated that the actions were apparently not done with criminal intent or in attempt to obstruct justice, in this case. Instead it appears the acts were done without understanding the negative affect that would result to the state’s case against defendant Ida Clark. Finally, in this plea negotiation my office did not agree to any particular punishment. We left it entirely up to the judge after hearing arguments from both sides. Today in Superior Court Ida Hayes Clark pled guilty to 1) conspiracy to commit voluntary manslaughter, 2) solicitation to commit voluntary manslaughter, 3) felony breaking and entering, 4) felony larceny, and 5) felony possession of a stolen motor vehicle. The Honorable Phillip Ginn sentenced her to 4-6 months on the felony larceny with credit for time served, 6-8 months on the felony breaking

Editor's note: District Attorney Jeff Hunt released the following statement Thursday, July 30, after Ida Hays Clark pled guilty in Polk County Superior Court to conspiracy to commit voluntary manslaughter, solicitation to commit voluntary manslaughter, felony breaking and entering, felony larceny and felony possession of a stolen motor vehicle. A North Carolina’s prosecutor’s case appropriately can rise only as high as the admissible, probative evidence will allow, pursuant to North Carolina law. In the cases surrounding the murder of Jay Clark we found through the investigation that we could not prove the premeditation required for 1st degree murder. The result was that the defendant Trent Miller pled guilty to 2nd degree murder at an earlier term of Polk County Superior Court and was sentenced by the judge under the sentencing laws enacted by our legislature. North Carolina prosecutors are required by our laws to disclose to the defense before trial our entire investigatory file as it comes into our possession from the investigating law enforcement officers. This case extended due to unusual circumstances not in our control, across three sheriffs’ administrations. This did affect the investigation, somewhat, as there was a turnover of investigatory officers. The people in Polk County, and prosecutorial district 29B, can be assured that the pleas in

Water focus of county/town joint meeting tomorrow by Leah Justice
Elected officials and managers from Polk County, the towns of Columbus and Tryon and the City of Saluda will meet again tomorrow to discuss water. This discussion should be a little different from joint water meetings held several years ago that ended in a split. This year, the group appears to be in agreement that the county and towns need to look into a joint water system and has sought information from the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority in Jackson County, N.C., which has accomplished a similar joint venture in recent years. The meeting tomorrow is being hosted by the Town of Columbus and will be held at Columbus Town Hall at 7
p.m. The meeting is the second joint meeting that was sparked in recent months by Columbus officials, who said they’d like to collaborate with the county and other towns on similar issues. Other topics were also discussed at the first meeting held in June, including joining together on economic development, recreation, sewer services, tourism and joint purchasing among several other services. At the June meeting, county and town officials discussed the need to join water systems for the future. Columbus officials have since contacted the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority and sent the authority questions regarding how they created the joint system. Tomorrow’s meeting will also include Joe Cline, Tuckaseigee
Water and Sewer Authority’s executive director, who has agreed to meet with Polk and its towns. Local elected officials and managers will talk with Cline about how Jackson County developed its joint water system. Officials will also review questions they sent to Tuckaseigee’s Authority and answers they have recently received. The Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority was created in 1992 when the county of Jackson and towns of Dillsboro, Sylva and Webster consolidated their water and wastewater utilities. Polk County, Columbus, Saluda and Tryon did not come to an agreement on creating a water authority several years ago. The towns decided to
group together and create a back-up water system between the towns’ systems, and the county decided to create its own water system. The county has since purchased Lake Adger for a future water source, and the towns are in the process of running a water line between Tryon and Saluda and placing a reverse valve on a water line that already connects the Tryon and Columbus water systems. The project is expected to be completed this fall and will mean Columbus, Saluda and Tryon can exchange water when needed. Tryon expressed the most interest in joining with the county in the future and Columbus and Saluda officials both said they want to look into a joint system.
Polk County Rescue Squad purchases new rescue boat by Leah Justice
The Polk County Rescue Squad now has a boat equipped for water rescue. The squad purchased a new Sylvan 25 ft. tri toon pontoon rescue boat recently using a combination of donations and some financing.The new boat is equipped with side image and sonar, which includes a screen to help find bodies in waters. The rescue squad has a dive team that is certified in scuba diving for water search and rescue. The squad does rescues within Polk County as well as assisting other counties, including water searches. The team often has to do searches in Lake Adger, the county’s largest water source, as well as in numerous ponds throughout the county. Just last month, the rescue squad was involved in searching for two men who drowned in Lake Adger. The father and son, of Hendersonville, were fishing and drowned while trying to save the father’s young daughter, who fell off the boat while asleep. The men apparently got caught in debris at the bottom of the lake. They were found by rescuers using equipment from surrounding counties. Polk rescue officials say the new boat with its search equipment will be very helpful for Polk County searches and can also be used to assist other counties. Donations are still welcome as further equipment for the boat is still needed. Contact the Polk County Rescue Squad located in Columbus to contribute.

Regular car maintenance saves gas, repairs • Replace Damaged Belts and Hoses--A broken belt can affect several systems in your car, including the electrical, power steering, cooling and air conditioning. When choosing new belts, those made with polyester versus rayon cords are preferred because they resist stretching and minimize slippage. Hoses, especially for the cooling system, can deteriorate from the inside out. Any hoses that look worn should be replaced promptly to reduce the risk of damage to your car's internal components and to prevent you from becoming stranded. — NAPSI

Letter to the Editor
The truth, in my own words To the Editor: The inner circle is the driving force for the Democratic Party! I was talking to a person at the Tryon precinct. He told me that the Democratic Party was not behind me because I was a newcomer to the party. Let me give you a news flash. I was born and raised in Polk County. How long have you lived here and hauled citizens to the polls and told them how to vote? There are ethics that we are to live by, but Rickie McFalls was told to disregard them and go by the ethics of the local and state Democratic Party. Mrs. Johnson, you act like you go by the book, but you can take off your halo. You on two occasions said that no one could help the candidates, but you then asked the temporary party chairman (Francis Parker) to help and to ask for votes for you. Mr. Gasperson, the water line was a great move to get you more votes. Do you know how many 501(c)3s there are in Polk County? There are 183. Are you
going to get all of them water? You have your attorney to find a loophole in the rules, and you get Cindy Walker and Renee McDermott to vote with you to pass the motion. The Democratic Party had a lady at precinct 8 telling everyone to vote for just to people — Ray Gasperson and Margaret Johnson. Benny Smith, I thought you were my friend and a Mason Brother, but that was not so. Look at the last column you in the Bulletin — it told it all. When we talked about the people that gave you money for the election, you said only one person contributed. When I got the financials from the Election Board, you then confessed that Jim and Renee had given you money as well. The Democratic Party has an “Inner Circle” and if you disagree with what they say, then you are Cast Out. Mr. Watson, I want to say I am very sorry for doubting you. You had it just right, especially about the “Inner Circle” in the Democratic Party. There is nothing that the “Inner Circle” would not do to keep a native Polk County boy off the board. – Rickie McFalls

Western Carolina Hunter Pace Series year end gathering by Jan Smith
Sixty-seven riders pre-registered and/or came out to support Handicapped Athletes Learning to Enjoy Riding (H.A.L.T.E.R.), earn a WCHPace Series “wild card,” enjoy the trails at the Biltmore’s West Range, socialize with fellow riders and take part in the year end gathering’s second awards presentation ceremony. Elizabeth Bush and her crew of workers at the Biltmore Equestrian Center helped with the event. For the second time, proceeds from the WCHPace Series Gathering went to benefit HALTER, the Spartanburg-based Therapeutic Riding Program. The Poker Ride was done “with a twist” – you had to earn your cards by correctly answering horse related trivia questions. Teams who didn’t like the cards they had drawn, or hadn’t correctly answered enough questions for a good hand, were allowed to purchase up to three additional cards (all to benefit HALTER, of course). The best hand – a Diamond Flush (A, 2, 4, 9, 10) – was earned by Victoria Bailey, Kelly Cannon, Khrystynna Hunsinger and Amanda Stickley, who won two day passes to ride at the Biltmore Equestrian Center. Second place – a straight (Queen high) – was drawn by Suess Fraser and Gwen Hunter who won two metallic finish 8x12” photos of their choice from the WCHPace galleries to be chosen by the end of November 2010. Third place – two pairs (Aces and Jacks) – was turned in by Debra Kennerly and Jennifer Smith who won two metallic finish 8x10” photos of their choice from the WCHPace galleries to be chosen by the end of November 2010. Fourth place – two pairs

(Kings and eights) – were drawn by Susan Haslam and Connie Moore who won two 5x7” photos of their choice from the WCHPace galleries to be chosen by the end of November 2010. Also out to enjoy the trails, trivia, camaraderie, support HALTER and earn their Wild Card for the 2010-2011 series were Deanna Baldwin, Julie Bates, Kathy Bethka, Baiba Bourbeau, Heather Brannan, Carrie Britt, Chris Britton, Sharon Carden, Jeanne Clark, Christa Cloud, Maxine Cook, Amy Corbett, Hunter, Liz, Ron and Taylor Crawley, Stephanie Culbertson, Ruth Ann DeHollander, Jan Ellis, Kelley Featheringill, Brock and Lori Fleenor, Teresa and Tomas Gimenez, Tammy Hannah, Duane and Harlene Harm, Rodney Hawk, Elizabeth and Lacey Hein, Sarah Hendricks, Tracey Hudson, Susie Justus, James Kennedy, Beatrice Lamb, Linda Latimer, Janet LeCroy, Stephanie Lusk, Barbara Madill, Peggy McMakin, Ali Merritt, Elizabeth Morosani, Tom Morton, Morgan Palmer, Gail Patton, Angelika and Thomas Pluemper, Erin, Sarah and
Boots Plyler, Cathy Proner, Kaylie Rizu, Genie Smith, Sue Smolka, Marcia Stacey, Eileen Taylor, Holly Nelson and Jason Thorp, Debbie Thrasher, Mary Tolles, Cathy Weaver, Alison Whitman, Sherry Wyatt and Kris Yon. Also seen in attendance for the fun and awards presentations were Darbie Barr, Kelsey Spicer, Judy Heinlien and several familiar friends and family members. Wondering what those equine trivia questions were? 1. What were the names of
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans horses? 2. Where is the Ergot on a horse? 3. What is the fear of horses called? 4. What horse and jockey won the 2010 Kentucky Derby? 5. Who was the last Triple Crown Winner? 6. Does a horse have “monocular” vision or “binocular” vision? (Continued on page 16)
