The new Polk County Department of Social Services (DSS) building, for which grading will begin soon near the Polk County Middle School, will be named for Howard Greene, the Polk County Board of Commissioners announced Monday night. Greene posed with Sue Rhodes, director of the Polk County DSS, just after the announcement Monday evening. Greene, 91, is a Polk County native, a distinguished WWII veteran, a former business leader and remains active in numerous civic and volunteer activities in the area. (photo by Jeff Byrd)
New DSS building to honor Greene by Jeff Byrd
Howard Greene’s 91-year record of service to his country and his community will be remembered. On Monday night, the Polk County Board of Commissioners added his name to the list of outstanding citizens for whom public facilities in the county are named, such as Medal of Honor winner Bryant H. Womack (county administration building), longtime county attorney R. Jay Foster (county board meeting room), activist for the elderly, and Don Freeman (adult day care center).

Split this Rock, an organization of poets based in Washington D.C., held a fundraiser recently to benefit the Louisiana Bucket Brigade. Split This Rock's purpose is to call poets and all artists to a greater role in public life and to bring the "vital, important, challenging poetry of witness that is being written by American poets today to a larger and more diverse audience." According to the organization's website (www.splitthisrock. org), "the work of writing the poems that split open the injustices in society is in some ways a solitary act, but it is also an act that requires community. Split This Rock calls all artists to split this rock, and to do it together."
made major strides in assuring that any health issues that arise from living in contaminated areas are not ignored by the corporations who cause these problems. We interviewed Shannon Dosemagen, LABB's Member Action Associate, a key player in creating the Oil Spill Crisis Map (see p. 3), one of the most useful tools we've found in trying to deal with the health and safety related issues that have developed since the explosion in the Gulf on April 20. Shannon told us that they were working on developing a more widespread incident report database, that would help people in affected areas make specific reports of incidents of bad air, health issues, dead or injured wildlife, etc. so that there would be a solid record of these incidents, which would strengthen research and make it easier for responsible parties to be held accountable. When they heard about the spill, Shannon said she immediately returned to the office and finished developing the Oil Spill Crisis map. In conjunction with Tulane University, they came up with a system to help map and record all the data. Over the weeks of planning our trip and then traveling, I watched the red dots on the map increase in number, from just a few dots in the Grand Isle area in the beginning, to all along the Coast from Texas to Florida as people began to report their incidents – from injured wildlife, oil on the beaches and in some
cases in their yards and around their homes, to skin, respiratory and other health issues. Using the information gathered, they have been able to develop outreach programs, traveling to affected areas to do more testing, to talking to people with financial concerns, depression, family problems and health problems all related to the spill, and then helping them get the assistance they need. Their practical approach has affected many lives, including their own. The thing Shannon said to me in her interview that truly hit home with us was that once you've seen how it really is down there, you can never look away. So many of us remain protected, even with the media pumping it into our homes, from the real stories that are happening there along the coast – the lives that are being damaged, the homes and jobs that are being lost, the entire culture and way of life that is threatened. As hard as is is to see and know, I am grateful that I made this journey, and I agree with Shannon – I can never look away now, and I am grateful to know that organizations like the Louisiana Bucket Brigade are there to help. Just like the people struggling to survive and stay afloat down there, we all need to know that we are not alone and that someone is there fighting beside us, or for us, if we can't fight for ourselves. For more information about the Louisiana Bucket Brigade or the Oil Spill Crisis Map, or to volunteer or donate, contact www. oilspill.labucketbrigade.org or www.labucketbrigade.org.

sistant. Since Dr. Rosenburg performs his surgeries at St. Luke’s, that would help bring additional revenues to the hospital and make it more economically healthy. Also since the grant was made, St. Luke’s has 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. All of these efforts have been fruitful and have put St. Luke’s in the position of being able to offer its remaining employees a small raise, in an effort to keep those remaining key employees in its employment. I am not in a position further to judge the merits of the pay increase the St. Luke’s board recently awarded. But certainly retaining competent staff is a plausible reason for such action, particularly since St. Luke’s financial circumstances have improved from the dire straits they were in a year ago.

Editor’s note: Following is the full response from Polk County Commissioner Renée McDermott 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. I understand that a number of County employees are concerned that St. Luke’s Hospital’s Board granted a 2% pay raise to their employees a year after having received a grant of taxpayer funds for economic development. Our 20/20 Vision Plan, adopted last March consistently with earlier county-wide surveys, calls for support of St. Luke’s expansion and service plans. The $285,000 economic development grant awarded to St. Luke’s in June of 2009 was specifically dedicated to achieving the initial steps in Phase I of those plans. I supported the grant, as did my four fellow commissioners and the Polk County Economic Development Commission, whose advice we specifically sought. 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. St. Luke’s is the second largest employer in Polk County. 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. What a terrible loss that would be to Polk County and its citizens. Since the economic development grant was made, St. Luke’s has drawn down the money for the specific uses for which it had been designated: physical improvements for the office of Dr. Rosenberg to allow more and better patient care and to facilitate employment of a physician’s as-

I will consider any future requests for financial assistance supporting St. Luke’s expansion and modernization plans in light of the circumstances as they may then exist, taking into account the 20/20 Vision Plan’s stated objectives and the extent to which the County and its citizens might benefit from that assistance. Some have said that it was unfair that St. Luke’s granted a pay increase while the Board of Commissioners did not also award County employees a pay increase for the coming year. For my part, I did not believe it would have been prudent to do so, particularly given the state of
7/22/10 10:35:01 AM
the economy and ominous warnings we are receiving about an even worse state budgetary crisis looming in the near future. A county raise would have required unwise budget cuts in other areas, or a tax increase at a time when so many people in Polk County are having grave financial difficulties. But I was equally adamant that the compensation and benefits of county employees not be reduced, as two other commissioners had urged through unwarranted diminishment of employee insurance coverage. There’s no doubt that our wonderful county employees deserve a raise and that they have been very patient and understanding in these tough economic times. — Renée McDermott

Couple arrested in Panama killings has Polk County ties William Dathan Holbert, who was arrested last week in connection with the slayings of two Americans and the disappearances of three other U.S. citizens and two Panamanians, formerly lived in Polk County. Documents show Holbert, accused of murder, and his former wife separated in 2004 and they divorced in Polk County. They were married for about six years and had three children who are now ages 7, 9 and 10. The jailed former Polk County man has admitted killing five other Americans so he could take over their businesses and other properties in a Panamanian resort area, a government prosecutor said. The case began when authorities found the bodies of a woman and a man buried behind a hostel run by

downtown Columbus, a business Greene ran for 35 years. In addition, he has between 50 and 66 year-long records of membership and service with eight church and civic organizations in the area. He continues those involvements and volunteers even to this day with the hospital, Outreach, and by driving veterans to appointments at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Oteen. “Howard Greene is a doer, always ready to lend a hand,” Walker said. “Throughout his life, Howard has always made time for our community.” While all applauded Greene’s record of service, the vote to name the new Social Services building after him was not unanimous. Commissioners Warren Watson and Tommy Melton, in the first of several 3-2 votes Monday night, said they just thought the naming motion was premature. Watson said that while he believed Howard Greene was worthy of the honor, he thought the timing was wrong to be naming a new building. “We have not even built the building or finalized the budget,” Watson said. “I hate to be the sayer of ‘no,’ but there are things to consider.” Melton said he did not want to get into a contest of who loved Howard Greene most, because he certainly was among the top in that category. “I have known Howard Greene all my life,” Melton said. “He has done it all, given his life for Polk County. But there other veterans in the community I think that deserve the opportunity to be considered. I believe there are 3,300 veterans in Polk County.” Commissioner Renee McDermott responded, “We do very much appreciate all the veterans in our community, heartfelt appreciation. But this is not an election. We all recognize Mr. Greene as an exceptional veteran and volunteer and I think we should go forward.” After the commissioners were finished with discussion, chairman Walker called for a motion, which was made by Gasperson, seconded by McDermott and passed 3-2 with Walker’s vote.

Shull visits Tryon Kiwanis Club
St. Luke’s Hospital CEO Ken Shull visited the Tryon Kiwanis Club to report on how the hospital is doing. In a patient satisfaction survey, St. Luke’s scored highest of 33 hospitals in the Carolinas Medical Center system. Also, the hospital is adding an internist to its staff but still needs three more primary care physicians in this area. Kiwanian Kathy Woodham invited Shull to speak to the group and she and president David Little thanked him for coming and explained that a children’s book would be donated to a local school in his name.

Fall master naturalist course begins at FENCE September 11 The fall term of the South Carolina Master Naturalist course developed by Clemson University and offered by FENCE in Tryon begins its 12-week fall term on September 11. The application deadline is August 15, with on-line applications available on the FENCE website, fence.org. The course, taught by credentialed specialists in geology, ecology, botany, wildlife biology and environmental science, has graduated 28 certified master naturalists since its introduction at FENCE in late 2008. The curriculum is fieldbased, not only at FENCE but at a number of sites in the Upstate, the Piedmont and South Carolina’s low country. Post-course evaluations by graduates have been enthusias-
tic. “The SCMN program has ignited my pursuit to learn all I can about plants, geography, invertebrates and mammals,” one graduate wrote; while another said that the course provided an appreciation of “the unique nature of the area where I live. The instructors were very good and used excellent teaching tactics.” Master naturalists are certified to design and lead natural history activities in schools, state parks, environmental centers and other educational venues and must provide 30 hours per year of such activity to maintain certification, providing a basis for long term growth in nature education. “My love of learning,” wrote one graduate, “has been reawakened.” – article submitted

In the quest for qualifying scores, the pair traveled to Lamplight outside of Chicago, Ill., where Marchand contested her first CDI in front of five international judges. Lendon Gray flew out to help Marchand and coached her throughout the weekend. Throughout the competition, Marchand had other concerns in her mind as well - the tow vehicle

that brought them to Chicago had technical problems and was not available in time to travel to the next CDI in Kentucky. Thanks to Grand Prix competitor Joe Sandeven, Marchand and “Prince” hitched a ride to the next competition. In Kentucky, Prince and Marchand stayed with Shirley McQuillen, owner and breeder of Rhett, Jim Kofford’s mount that won the Ann Barlow award in 2009. McQuillen is a equine chiropractor and worked on Prince during his stay on her farm. Once the Suburban was fixed, Koryn Staley, one of the working students, drove it to Kentucky and off to the horse park the crew went. Once there, Marchand was coached by Reese Koffler Stanfield. This has been a difficult journey for all involved with Courtney and Don Principe. Renee Isler of Isler Dressage helped out with show and clinic finances. Sylvia and Carmen of Choice of Champions and Mary Tail Rx also helped with the show. – article submitted

HIALEAH,m,W FL — an ingredient often used to treat inflamma3/10/10 - 5/26/10 tion in racehorse’s legs, is now back on the market in its original doctor LARL-028884 recommended formula. according to a national drug store survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back to the market under the trade name aRTH aRReST and says it can relieve pain for millions. aRTH aRReST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. considered a medical miracle by some, the aRTH aRReST formula is useful in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, tendonitis, backache and more. is available in a 0tfn3wedconvenient -aRTH page 1aRReST roll-on applicator at pharmacies without a prescription or Get TDB in the mail! call 1-800-339-3301or in columbus Call or email for information:Tryon Daily Bulletin at: MEDICAP PHARMACY 828-859-9151 • subs@tryondailybulletin.com • We accept Visa • Mastercard • Discover • American Express 80 SHUFORD RD • 894-6112

Letter to the Editor
Redefining the beautification of Tryon village To the Editor: Let’s see now, what could it be? A new indoor equestrian rink? A helicopter hanger? Perhaps even a new Area 51? Ouch! Yet another Dollar Store! Bigger than life! Don’t we have enough Dollar Stores already? Landrum….Columbus…..Saluda? Not to mention Family Dollar? I wonder what happened to the planners who wanted to beautify Downtown Tryon? If they have been busy planning for clocks and street lights, this atrocious blight on the Tryon community somehow escaped their scrutiny. Truly a monumental testimony to bad taste. I was driving through Tryon with some friends interested in relocating here. When we passed by the gargantuan aluminum structure shoehorned into a diminutive space carved out of a cliff next to country stores and a log cabin, they were compelled to exclaim that that’s precisely the kind of ill-planned construction that forced them to consider leaving their own home town in the first place. We continued to drive around our area, but my friends couldn’t stop talking about that vision of hideous structural ugliness all afternoon, and when, ashamed, I mustered the courage to ask if they still consider locating to Tryon, I was met with stony silence….. — Pieter K. Terwilleger

Transplant Games are solid gold for Walter by John Clayton
Landrum High school crosscountry runner elizabeth Walter earned three gold medals this week at the National transplant games in Madison, Wis. Walter, who received a portion of father todd’s liver in a livedonor transplant in November of 2000 – the first such transplant in south Carolina, took gold in the women’s 5k, women’s 1,500-meter and women’s 800-meter to complete a sweep of the events she entered. Walter is a rising freshman at LHs and has competed on the varsity cross-county team since seventh grade. She finished 13th overall in this past fall’s 1a/2a Upper state Championship meet. todd Walter, a Landrum physician and avid runner, was also competing in the National transplant games. He also coaches the LHs cross-country team.

Summer Tracks, Tryon’s summer concert series, continues on August 6 with The Swayback Sisters and The Space Heaters in Rogers Park. Hailing from Asheville, the Swayback Sisters, Laura Blackley, Nikki Talley and Lyndsay Wojcik, open the evening. These “sisters” – all popular songwriters and performers in their own right – join forces to create a diverse musical experience for themselves as well as their audiences. Performing mostly originals, this trio also performs select standards and re-vamped covers. Along with their guitars, they accompany their voices with banjo and fiddle. After the Swaybacks, the Space Heaters take the stage. An ‘oldtime swing’ band with a sound that falls somewhere between “Django” and “Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys,” the Space Heaters are Leo Johnson (vocals and guitar), Ian Herrod (upright bass) and Washboard Larry (washboard). The Space Heaters play hits from the 20s through the 40s. As with all Summer Tracks concerts, the show starts at 7 p.m. and is free, though a voluntary donation at the gate is encouraged. The sponsorships provided by local businesses also make these shows possible. Again, Giardinis wood-fired pizzas, homemade ice cream, water and soft drinks will

be for sale. The Summer Tracks series offers a mix of musical styles. Concerts run from 7 to 10 p.m. Scheduled to perform are: August 6 – The Swayback Sisters (Americana, folk), The Space Heaters (swing-jazz) August 20 – Sol Driven Train (opening set will be their children’s show, followed by their mix of world beat and funk) September 3 – The Firecracker Jazz Band (jazz, Dixieland, big band, music from 1890-1940) Summer Tracks is produced by the Town of Tryon in affiliation with Peter Eisenbrown of Blockparty Productions. The popular and well attended series attracts people from all over the region. Last year, the concerts drew an estimated 2,000 people to downtown Tryon. For more information about Summer Tracks and the performers, contact Polk County Travel and Tourism at 800-440-7848 or 828-894-2324 and visit www.firstpeaknc.com or the new Tryon events website www.tryonevents.org. – article submitted

Fish painting by Barbara Tilly
Tilly exhibits work in Saluda Aug. 4
Barbara Tilly will exhibit her work at The Wine Cellar in Saluda this Thursday, August 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. Tilly’s work will be on display Thursday through Saturday. Tilly is a fiber artist from Tryon who creates hand-painted silk scarves, wall hangings, handbags, and other textile art using silk painting, batik, gutta serti, and other techniques. Primarily a self-taught artist, Tilly says she is interested in color and texture and loves following the process to let the designs develop. “I don’t usually start a scarf or other piece with a destination in mind,” Tilly says. “ I just start putting colors on fabric and keep doing that in various ways until the piece tells me it’s done.” Tilly says she has always loved working with fabrics. “My mother was an expert seamstress - a tailor, really - and she taught me to sew when I was young,” she says. Because of her sewing experience, quilting was Tilly’s first step in her search for a textile artform more than 20 years ago. She soon realized that she enjoyed only the design and initial piecing stages of quilting; the quilting itself took too long without enough creativity in the process, she says. She then explored batik - both the traditional dyepot methods and more contemporary adaptations that use wax as a resist but don’t use vat dyeing and sometimes do not result in the distinctive batik “crackle” effect. Batik is still one of her favorite techniques,

Scarf by Barbara Tilly
she says, but she uses more of the contemporary adaptations because the traditional vat dyeing process limits color choices significantly. Silk painting - painting with dyes directly on silk (or other fabrics) - was a revelation for Tilly. There are virtually no limits on color, an infinite variety of techniques can be used, and the process itself is freely adaptable. Today, Tilly combines batik, silk painting, printmaking, embroidery and sewing into her creations. Her work has been featured in many galleries, fine art/craft shows, and wearable art stores, including Kathleen’s Gallery in Tryon, The Upstairs Artspace in Tryon, Bellagio in Asheville, N.C., Asheville Art Museum Gift Shop in Asheville, N.C., Graphic Traffic in St. Louis, Mo. and Carmel, Ca., and Mais Oui in Columbia, S.C. The Wine Cellar is located at the Saluda Inn, 229 Greenville Street in Saluda. For further information call 828-749-9698. – article submitted

Greene: servant with lion’s heart Why name a building after Howard Greene? He’s not rich; he didn’t pay for the new Department of Human Services building that will bear his name. He’s not famous, or prominent. So what is it about this small 91-year-old that makes everybody love him so much? It’s his heart: the heart of a servant wrapped in the heart of a lion. One of his accomplishments is positively heroic: in 1944-45, he fought his way across Europe, starting on a Normandy beach and ending in Germany. This was miserable, hellish, kill-or-be-killed war. To this day, he has no idea why he survived when so many other fine young men did not. Another impressive accomplishment sits in stark contrast to the first. He joined the Kiwanis Club of Tryon on October 5, 1948, and has maintained perfect attendance ever since. That’s 62 years. When you consider that record alongside the war record, you begin to understand the essence of the man. Howard was a prominent business leader, too. As owner of G&K Appliance in Columbus, he was a fixture of Polk County commerce for decades. Public office? He’s been president, chairman, board member, commander, and/or high chief of more local service organizations than you can shake a stick at. Rich? Why, sure he is. If it’s true that the only real wealth we leave behind is the good we have done for others, then Howard’s as wealthy as they come. Famous? Everybody knows Howard. If you haven’t met him, give him a call or introduce yourself. He’ll be proud to know you. Howard Belton Greene is Everyman. He’s you and me, only better: more humble, more cheerful, more giving, more appreciative of all the simple gifts of life. He’s a role model, a hero, a genuine treasure. So maybe it makes sense that they would name a building after him. In honoring Howard, they honor the best within us all. . — guest editorial by Andy Millard

Cooling off not possible in Tryon To the editor: a call to Tryon’s town manager Mr. Hembree informed me there is no cooling off room available for citizens who have no air conditioning. Fans alone only blow around very hot air. I’m ashamed for not asking about this earlier and actually Mr. Hembree said he’d look into it. He mentioned Social Services and I thought it was being palmed off page 1
to others to seek some help. Sure town money is sparse and we all know why. Why not set up cooling areas as we do for those in winter who don’t have adequate heat? as for transporting people to cooler places (if available), could the town look into the trollys used for the BBQ festivals in town? Maybe look into polk County transportation buses. Should we have a little heart and maybe be known for more than BBQ ad festivals? — Faith Hammond
