Hunt issues statement on Abril’s DWI sentencing

Editor's note: The following statement was issued by District Attorney Jeff Hunt on Wednesday after Chris Abril was sentenced in Polk County District Court.

During the July 26th Polk County term of Criminal Superior Court, former Sheriff Chris Abril withdrew his appeal of his District Court conviction, of Driving While Impaired. As part of that process Abril, through his attorney, requested the imposition of the sentence he received when he was originally convicted of DWI in

the Polk County Criminal District Court earlier this year.

Today he appeared in Polk County Criminal District Court with his attorney and his original sentence entered upon his conviction was re-imposed. This follows the normal procedure when a criminal defendant withdraws his appeal into Criminal Superior Court and seeks to remand his case back to Criminal District Court for reimposition of the original sentence, and is tantamount to a guilty plea by the defendant.

Wednesday morning Abril was re-sentenced per the normal sentencing grid enacted by North Carolina’s State Legislature as follows: He was sentenced to a 60 day incarceration in the Polk County jail.

This sentence (per the sentencing grid) was suspended for 18 months, and his probation was ordered to be unsupervised. Abril was further ordered to obtain a substance abuse evaluation, and to pursue all educational and treatment recommendations. He was further ordered to surrender his driver’s license and

not operate a motor vehicle until his driving privileges were restored by the Department of Motor Vehicles (normally after a period of a year has elapsed). Under North Carolina law he can obtain a limited driving privilege to travel to and from employment, church and grocery store, or for emergencies.

Finally, Abril was ordered to perform 24 hours of community service within a 30 day period and to pay the community service fee as well as $455.00 to the Clerk of Court covering fine and court costs.

superior court last month.

Since last Friday, Abril has also been under electronic monitoring for violating his probation on earlier charges. When he was convicted of the DWI, Abril was also convicted of a probation violation for violating the supervised probation he was given in 2008 after pleading guilty to two counts of felony solicitation to take inde-

cent liberties with a minor.

Those charges were filed in 2006 while he was running for Polk County Sheriff and stemmed from incidents that occurred in the late 1980s with two girls who were ages 10 and 11 at the time. Abril’s sentence of one to three years for each count was suspended and he was placed on three years of supervised probation and two years of

unsupervised probation.

Abril’s probation violation sentence was for 30 days of electronic monitoring. Electronic monitoring is less restrictive than house arrest; Abril also served 120 days under house arrest as part of his original sentencing in 2008.

His probation and the electronic monitoring is being handled in Henderson County.

A Spartanburg County Sheriff’s deputy directing traffic outside Landrum High School was struck by a vehicle Wednesday morning, but his injuries are not thought to be serious.

According to a written statement from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office, 50-year-old Bill Lyndrand was directing traffic in front of the high school on Hwy. 176 at around 11:30 a.m. when he was “grazed” by a vehicle.

Lyndrand, who was assigned to Spartanburg County Schools

District One as a school resource officer, was later transported to Spartanburg Regional Hospital.

According to the sheriff’s office statement, the driver of a 2006 Dodge Truck was making a left turn out of Landrum High School to go toward Inman, when she struck Lyndrand.

The driver of the car was reportedly wearing a seatbelt and not injured. She was cited for driving too fast for conditions.

The S.C. Highway Patrol is investigating the incident.

Watson says he is committed to DSS building, on a budget Editor's note: Polk County commissioner Warren Watson submitted the following in response to recent controversy over costs for the new Polk Department of Social Services building. Commissioners approved by 3-2 a bid for grading for the new building earlier this month.

Delays in building a long overdue Polk County DSS building began with the 2008 election.

Prior to the election, the previous board of commissioners had already signed a purchase agreement for a two-acre building site in Columbus for the amount of $95,000. The new board closed on the lot, but quickly abandoned the site, as some members bowed to outside pressures to seek other locations.

The original construction budget at the newly-purchased site was $1.7 million. The site had proper zoning, water was available, and the county manager was able to negotiate a free sewer easement with Duke Energy. The site was conducive to a two-story structure with walk-out basement, for easy expansion.

Parking spaces were adequate, and our resident architect/project Manager deemed the site to be a good location, close to other services typically utilized by DSS clients.

It was suggested that we widen a section of the street from our lot to Hwy 108, and that a red light might be required. Initial estimates for the road work and red light were approximately $150,000, and there was some question as to whether or not it was included in the original budget.

Had we continued with the original site, the building could be complete by now, and DSS would have a new home. Instead, the majority of the board decided to abandon the newly acquired building site, and the delays began….

Recognizing that support for the site had eroded among the current board, and knowing the urgent need to replace the building, I reluctantly agreed to begin the search for another site, with one of the new commissioners. We looked at numerous

it has been my experience that when a project starts over budget, (continued from page 5) it stays over budget.

So, I voted “no!” Not “no” and the low bid was substantially to the DSS project; but instead, less at approximately $165,000, but still $45,000 (or 38%) over I voted “no” to moving forward without a clear picture of what we our budget.

'Dad and JFK: Crisis and tragedy' Editor's note: Below is the second of a three-part series in which local attorney Lee Stockdale shares stories of his father's friendship and professional association with President John F. Kennedy. Look for the last part of the series in Friday's Bulletin.

by Lee Stockdale

President Kennedy was a speed-reader and read everything in sight. Once while spending the night with us he read a bunch of Mom’s poems in the guest room and was favorably impressed.

When Dad got back from his trip out west with JFK, he told Mom that the president said he wanted her to write a book of poetry for Ireland. So Mom started her book “To Ireland, with Love.”

President Kennedy learned that Russia was stationing missiles in Cuba, 90 miles from the United States, precipitating the Cuban Missile Crisis. The two great superpowers were on the brink of nuclear war.

During those 13 days in October, the president called Dad at home one night and told Dad he wanted him to go down, that very moment, to Homestead Air Force Base, and report back to him what was going on. Jack told Dad he wanted to confirm whether bombs were being loaded onto the B-52s.

He told Dad, “I want you to put your hands on the bombs.”

Dad and my big brother, Grant Jr., then 16, got in the car and went down to Homestead. Grant told me the military appeared to expect Dad, and he was waved through all the checkpoints. Dad walked the tarmac of the flight line and literally put his hands on one of the bombs being loaded, as the president directed. Dad came back and immediately called the president and told him that, yes, the bombs were being loaded. Ultimately, JFK defused the Cuban Missile Crisis through diplomacy.

On January 1st, 1963, a happy President Kennedy joined Dad and other Florida politicians to watch Alabama beat Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl (17-0), and Dad saw the Chief in Washington or Palm Beach

The front and back covers of "To Ireland, with Love," a book of poems written by Alice Boyd Stockdale, Lee Stockdale's mother, after the Stockdale family's years in Ireland while Grant Stockdale was the American Ambassador to Ireland. The reviews on the back cover include quotes from Sean T. O'Kelly, the president of Ireland while the Stockdales were there, Sen. Edward Kennedy and Bing Crosby. (photos submitted)

“How do you think they’ll get me, Stock?” Dad told Mom that Jack made this comment to him more than once. Dad would tell the President something to the effect: “Don’t talk like that, it’s not going to happen.”

The president once asked Dad (Continued on page 18)

Owens responds to questions on hospital funds Editor’s note: Following is the full response from Ted Owens, candidate for the Polk County Board of Commissioners, 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 served two (2) terms on the St. Luke’s Hospital board of trustees, therefore, the hospital is personally important to me.

I’d rather go to St. Luke’s than some of the other hospitals in the area. It is very important to Polk County and the surrounding areas. With that said, for the county to assist in the future I feel there needs to be a

better working relationship and openness between the two. As a citizen and a commissioner I would do everything that I could to see that it survived for I feel it is essential to the well being of the citizens. An example is some years ago I served on a task force to help the hospital by making presentations on their behalf at civic organizations.

No, I would not have voted to give that $285,000 to the hospital 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.

Economic development in Polk County has struggled for

2010

years to get the kind of support it needs. Finally a previous board of commissioners hired an EDC director and the board I sat on set up a fund to attract companies like James Tool. This fund was to be a continuing resource in that it was set up to do exactly as it did in the James Tool case where they leased the building and then in the near future bought the building. These monies were then to be returned to the fund and used again to bring in another business with jobs.

With that fund depleted and the state of the economy, I don’t see the county being able replenish the fund for a long, long time! The majority of the present board has approved this year’s budget, and under the pretense of cutting the budget, has eliminated the position of EDC director. This is telling the people of this county who

need a job or who want to live here and work here that the current commissioners don’t care if they have a job or live here. It is also telling the young people that finish school here to go somewhere else to get a job and live. Another thing, how can a business such as the TDB survive if people can’t live in Polk County and have jobs that provides money to spend?

I know there is a concern about the hospital giving their employees a raise, especially since they received the $285,000 from the county. I’m sure the employees deserved and needed the raise and the hospital should give it to them if they can afford it. The employees should not be ridiculed because of the actions of the county commissioners.

Dun Roamin.

SCLT is proud to say there was not a huge amount of trash, even though the group chose the week after Coon Dog Day thinking there would be more traffic (and perhaps discarded litter) on the roads from that weekend.

The group has other projects that the community is invited to get involved in - clearing trails, destroying kudzu and GPS’ing land for conservation trusts.

Call 828-749-1560 or drop in at one of the meetings on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 3 p.m. at McCreery Park.

Salute to a to the Bulletin for local news Subscribe great and airplane complete sports coverage To the Editor: The first Boeing B-17 flew in August 1935. Bristling with machine guns for its defense, a reporter at the rollout excitedly dubbed it a “Flying Fortress,” and the name stuck. This being its 75th anniversary year, Boeing will gather all the B-17s still flying for a celebration at Seattle.

My love for this airplane was kindled in 1939 when I was nine years old and it was only four, but already the pride of our Army Air Corps. Someone gave me a model B-17 and I liked to hold it out the window of the car and see the four propellers spin in the wind.

When I was 13 I wanted to fly a real B-17 and help destroy Hitler’s war machine. At 16 I made my first solo flight as pilot, and realized I might prefer to fly a fighter plane.

But as my relatives returned from the war and I learned more about combat, I became thankful that I was too young to participate in that war when it came.

I am also thankful that we were able to build enough B-17s and other weapons to end Hitler’s attempt to rule the world. The B-17 and its big brother, the B-29, were two reasons we did not have to learn to speak German or Japanese unless we wanted to. Would you join me in a salute to a great airplane and the crews who flew them to preserve our liberty?

Bronze metal clay workshop at Tryon Arts & Crafts Aug. 21, 22 Tryon Arts and Crafts will host a bronze metal clay workshop with instructor Landen Gailey on Saturday, August 21, and Sunday, August 22. The workshop will provide instruction and projects geared towards all skill levels.

Students will explore possibilities of doing “more with less” in creating a faux filigree pendant.

This is a technique that can be applied to the creation of beads, pins and jewelry components.

While the workshop is oriented towards bronze clay, silver clay (PMC) techniques for making faux filigree will also be covered, and participants may choose to work with silver clay instead of bronze clay with prior instructor approval

(additional fee for silver clay materials). Previous experience with metal clay is helpful, but not required. This workshop is open to all students.

Instructor Landen Gailey relocated to Hendersonville in 2002 from Atlanta where she was employed with the City of Atlanta’s art programs. After receiving her degree in art from Agnes Scott College, she became intrigued with enameling and spent 10 years working as a production enamellist.

She learned metal clay techniques from her mother, an accomplished metalsmith, and received her PMC certification in 2006.

She is now in her fifth year with PMC and continues to be fascinated

with the expansive possibilities of the medium. Her work is exhibited in several galleries in the area. She has extensive involvement with the Museum of Mineral and Lapidary Arts, located in Hendersonville, N.C., and serves on the board of the local gem and mineral club.

Advance registration is required.

For more information about the instructor or workshop including tuition and supply costs, contact Tryon Arts and Crafts at 828-859-8323 or by email tryonartsandcrafts@ windstream.net. More details and examples of projects are available on the Tryon Arts and Crafts website, www.TryonArtsandCrafts. org. There are a limited number of spaces available for this class.

Red Cross seeks donations

37

See for yourself.

‘Aida’ tops them all To the Editor: “Aida” was superb. Chris Tinkler and his cast did a professional job. The stage sets were most creative and well executed. The talent Chris brings out of this youth is commendable.

How fortunate we are to have such a talented director who brings out the best in our youth.

I wish they could have given more performances beyond our tri-city community. Having attended many youth programs over my thirty years plus, this tops them all.

Toy Makers’ House Museum holds grand opening Sept. 4 & 5 Given The Tryon Toy-Makers and Wood-Carvers’ incredibly close ties with the history of Tryon, the Toy Makers’ House will be open Saturday, September 4, as part of Tryon’s 125th birthday celebration. The museum will open after Tryon’s Big Heritage Parade downtown at 11 a.m. and will remain open until 4 p.m.

Sunday, September 5, will be the official grand opening reception of The Toy Makers’ House Museum, located in the original Toy House at 43 East Howard Street in Tryon. On September 5, 1925, the Toy House first opened its doors to the public.

The museum is celebrating this by holding the Toy Makers’ House Museum Grand Opening 85th Anniversary Reception.

Sunday’s grand opening reception begins at 4 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m.

Both events at The Toy Makers’ House Museum will have free toy making classes for children, food, drink, live music and costume contests. Any person or pet who visits the museum Saturday or Sunday dressed as a toy, Morris the Horse (Tryon’s

mascot who was originally made by the Tryon Toy-Makers and Wood-Carvers, and gifted to The Tryon Riding & Hunt Club), or Eleanor Roosevelt (who gave her 4th of July address to Tryon from the Toy House’s front terrace in 1934) will receive a contemporary wooden toy, a museum sticker and a certificate of participation.

The museum will educate all to the memories, history, art and knowledge that were and still are the toy house. The museum’s motto is “Keeping Creativity Alive at the Toy Makers’ House.

Art, History and Imagination Will Always Reside Here.”

The Toy Makers’ Museum’s focus and planned activities include: • Increasing the public’s awareness and knowledge of the art and history of Tryon, The Toy Makers’ House, and the Tryon Toy-Makers and WoodCarvers.

• Enhancing public knowledge of the history of toys and furniture that were created at the Toy Makers’ House by the Tryon Toy-Makers and WoodCarvers.

• Creating more interest in history, art, Tryon and the surrounding the areas of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

• Educating the public on the traditions of wood working and its aspects in traditional toys.

These will include the history created in Tryon by Charlotte Yale and Eleanor Vance.

In a “keeping creativity alive at the Toy Makers’ House” mindset the museum will offer art classes.

Given the Toy-Makers’ and Wood-Carvers’ close tie with nature and the trees that were formed into all of their craft, the museum hopes to also include a natural garden area for picnicking and education on the trees and nature that surround the museum.

A museum gift shop is also planned that will feature original handmade arts that will include hand-carved wooden vessels, pottery, glass and handmade wooden toys from contemporary artists.

Art exhibitions of original toys, furniture and wood works created at The Toy Makers’ House and by contemporary

artists that exemplify the creative artistry that was originally created there will be held at the museum.

The museum will also have historical exhibitions informing the area of the N.C. history that The Toy Makers’ House holds.

These exhibitions will include The Toy Makers’ House’s national and international reputation, its contribution to not only N.C. but the entire region and the historical elements that the wood-works and toys that were created there include.

Other exhibitions focusing on the many aspects of women’s studies that took place at The Toy Makers’ House are planned.

Some examples include three First Wives who visited The Toy Makers’ House including Eleanor Roosevelt who gave a speech to the Town of Tryon from the front steps of The Toy Makers’ House, all of the incredible accomplishments that Yale and Vance made come to realization and the fact that they did this in the early 1900s. At the time this certainly set a new standard for the area.

O.P. Earle principal gives tips for parents for the 2010-2011 school year

by Nita H. High, Principal of O.P. Earle Elem. School

It seems like only yesterday that we were waving “goodbye” to our students as they left campus for the summer. Then, summer zipped by and now we’re on the verge of a new school year.

As always, the first days of school are exciting for both students and teachers. We, too, spend a sleepless, anxious night before the first day of school. We, too, get butterflies and are a bit nervous prior to meeting our students for the first time. As educators, we know what an awesome responsibility we have. We also know that parents are their child’s first teacher and, as we begin a new school year, we are entering a partnership with them. Working together, we will make the best decisions about their child’s education.

Most parents check bookbags and look over homework nightly.

Once children begin a new school year, what are some other things that parents can do to help their child be successful? Here are 10 suggestions that will help to ensure your child’s success in school: • Read to your child and follow an oral reading session with questions about the selection. Ask questions such as: “What do you think will happen next?” or “What is the problem in the story?” And yes, they need to look at the pictures as they read to you. Pictures are cues that help them to become more fluent readers.

• Show an interest in your child’s writing by asking to read his/her journal. Display their writing at home in a prominent place. Encourage them to write about special events such as going to the circus, visiting a grandparent, or going on vacation.

• Ask your child to use estimation when appropriate. “About how far is it to the grocery store?” “About how much does this apple weigh?” In the grocery store, ask your child to estimate how much money they will need to buy several items. Discuss price per ounce or price per pound.

Beginning in third grade, help your child memorize the multiplication tables.

• In the newspaper or magazines,

talk about the charts or graphs you may see. Look at the statistics on the sports page and discuss what they mean.

• At the beginning of each nine week grading period, help your child identify three or four goals. Put the goals where they can be frequently seen. (The refrigerator is always an excellent spot.) Make sure the goals are specific such as “I will improve my writing skills by improving my…

• Give your child oral directions that include several steps to remember and expect them to follow those directions.

• Be selective about the amount and type of television your child watches. Help them to be active by opting to go outside to play rather than playing video games.

• Sometimes children will not discuss what they learned in school. So, begin that conversation with “Guess what I learned at work today.” All of us learn new things every day. Discussing what you, as an adult, learned during your workday is a great way to lead your child toward discussing what he learned new at school.

• Insist that your child attend school each day that he/she is well and make certain that your child arrives at school on time. Children who are absent often or who often arrive late soon become disenchanted with school because they cannot keep up with their classmates.

• Finally, be actively involved in the school’s SIC or PTO. Visit or volunteer at the school often. Let your child see you in the school environment actively supporting what goes on there. And Dads, it is important for your children to see you in the school environment. Research has shown that when fathers attend school meetings, chaperone field trips, or visit their child at school, their children are more likely to be successful throughout their school life.

There are many websites that are great resources for parents. One such website is www.internet4classrooms.com/parents.htm. The faculty and staff of O.P. Earle Elementary School are looking forward to seeing our students back at school on August 16.

North Carolina Governor Beverly Eaves Perdue (center) and her husband Bob Eaves (right) were joined by Robin S. Lattimore, of Rutherfordton, in welcoming Eaves family members to Raleigh and the N.C. Governor’s Mansion on Saturday, August 8. (photo submitted)

An invitation to speak at the North Carolina Executive Mansion August 7 and 8 gave historian and author Robin S. Lattimore of Rutherfordton an opportunity to share his knowledge of the venerable home with guests from all across the nation.

Lattimore, who currently serves as the 2009-2010 North Carolina Historian of the Year, was asked by First Gentleman Robert “Bob” Eaves to assist in entertaining more than 150 of his relatives who came to Raleigh on Saturday, August 7, for the national Eaves Family Reunion and to meet North Carolina’s First Family. The visit included tours of the mansion followed by a dinner of North Carolina barbecue.

The Eaves family has historic ties to both Rutherford and Polk counties. The family once owned a plantation that encompassed more than a thousand acres near the present-day town of Spindale.

North Carolina Governor Beverly Eaves Perdue joined her husband in greeting each guest as they entered the mansion. Lattimore then served as a docent

guiding guests through the State Floor pointing out architectural features, art and antiques found in the north and south parlors, state dining room, ballroom, library and morning room. He presented a 30-minute program on the history of the mansion earlier in the day.

Lesley M. Bush, a native of Polk County, joined Lattimore at the mansion. Bush has served as research assistant and principal photographer for more than 15 books and historical publications written by Lattimore. While in Raleigh, Lattimore and Bush spent hours scouring the historical collections at the North Carolina Archives building for information needed for Lattimore’s forthcoming book on the history of Forest City, N.C. During the past 10 months, Lattimore and Bush have visited more than 70 of North Carolina’s 100 counties and have toured 35 historic sites across the state. Many of the visits have included presentations of North Carolina’s history to civic

Free to the public, the seminar starts with a cook-out at 6 p.m. and the seminar begins at 7 p.m. Door prizes will be awarded throughout the evening.

The featured speaker for the Food Plot Seminar will be Jordan Smith of Westervelt Wildlife Services in Columbia, S.C.

Smith is a certified prescribed fire manager, has expertise in game species surveying and develops and implements wildlife management plans for landowners. He will cover a wide range of topics for creating better wildlife habitat as well as improving deer herd health and numbers during his presentation.

In addition, Will Montgomery, a master wildlifer and the owner of Carolina Farm & Wildlife Supply, will give a short presentation about the use of chemicals in food plots. There will be a question-andanswer session afterwards.

Delay of Game Sports editor John Clayton

A different sort of gold standard for Walter family No matter who you are, gold medals rock. elizabeth Walter, a freshman at Landrum High School, knows all about that as a member of Landrum’s state-champion cross-country team, and most recently as a competitor at the National transplant games in Wisconsin. There, she won three of them and potentially qualified for the World Transplant Games in Sweden.

But the fact is, Walter nearly died to get those medals – around 10 years ago when she was 4 years old and her liver inexplicably started to shut down.

“I remember some of it,” she said, recalling a hurried trip to greenville Memorial Hospital and an airlift to the Medical University of south Carolina for a liver transplant, the donor, her father, Todd, by her side.

Imagine it: Dr. Todd Walter with the trained and skilled hands of a physician able to do nothing with them to help his daughter other than ball them into fists or fold them into prayer.

But the doctor and father became a donor. If you look closely, you can see their fading but matching scars, evidence of a normally unseen bond between a father and a daughter made tangible – always there, always a reminder. and that’s what the transplant games turned out to be for the Walters, both of whom (CONTINUED ON PAGE 51)

All about the Benjamins Annual Border Showcase popular fundraiser for teams

by John Clayton

the annual Border showcase Football Classic has grown into one of the region’s largest high school football preseason events, featuring some of the top teams from the Carolinas and drawing thousands of fans starving for a first glimpse of football.

“What I like about the Border showcase is you’ve got an almost playoff atmosphere to it,” said polk County High head coach Bruce Ollis. “We get to play a quality team like a Byrnes – in the past we’ve played Broome, Spartanburg and now Byrnes.” polk County will meet south Carolina Class 4a powerhouse Byrnes – ranked No. 25 in the nation by USA Today – when the Border showcase Football Classic VI kicks off saturday at 7

In the Showcase’s other contests, Crest faces spartanburg at 8 p.m., and Shelby renews an old rivalry with gaffney in the nightcap at 9 p.m. the showcase was the brainchild of ollis soon after he arrived at Polk County. Like a Super Bowl, it has floated from venue to venue, including Byrnes High school, Crest and gardnerWebb University.

But it has also grown in popularity, featuring high-exposure teams and perennial powers such

as gaffney (16 state championships), Byrnes (nine state championships) and Crest (four state championships). and with those teams come rabid fan bases, eager to get an early glimpse at the newest edition and soak up that “playoff atmostphere.” ollis said the 2009 Border showcase drew somewhere between 3,500-4,000 fans who paid $10 per ticket for admission.

“We like the way it’s turned out ,” Ollis said. “It gives fans in North Carolina a chance to see teams like gaffney and spartanburg and Byrnes – high-profile teams they might not get a chance to see otherwise.”

It also gives a team such as polk County, a Class 2a school, (CONTINUED ON PAGE 51)

Volume 3 Issue 6

March 2009

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!

competed. the games served as a reminder for the thousands who attended and 1,200 or so who competed that life can go on with vigor after organ transplants.

“It’s sort of a celebration of life, and of seeing life after transplants,” said Dr. Walter, who can recite the numbers more easily than most because

of professional and harrowing personal experience.

“There are 104,000 people on waiting lists to have transplants in the U.S.,” he said.

“Nineteen people die every day waiting. Every day, people are needing the gift of life.” and that’s more precious than gold – just ask Elizabeth, the girl who has both.

graved. The long school day was torture and, at 7 p.m., my siblings and I, sitting silently round the kitchen table, salivating over the thought of a greasy, heart-clogging feast, were deflated, but not all together surprised when Mom presented us each with a rather dried-out McDonald’s hamburger, still in its wrapper, overwhelmed by a large helping of peas, carrots and a glass of milk.

“There you are! Happy Birthday!”

The burgers were wolfed down, followed by the usual proddings and threats to finish our vegetables and we complied as my choice of a gooey, chocolate cake, complete with candles and a horse on top, was waiting in the kitchen, one side being sampled by the cat.

“Oh dear,” said Mom, not of the cat’s lick marks, but of the horse, who, being made of china, had sunk down through the middle of the cake so that only his arched neck and dappled head were visible through the whipped icing, not unlike a domestic cousin of the ‘Lochness Monster.’ “I was afraid it was too heavy. Oh, well, let’s all sing, everyone!”

Self-conscious and unenthusiastically, my siblings croaked out the well-known verses and, after gulping down the cake and licking the icing off the legs and barrel of the horse, my birthday came to a close.

And, honestly, I haven’t had one quite that nice, since.

Fee or Free As the executor, you’re entitled to a fee paid by the estate. State law determines the amount, which can range anywhere from 1 to 5 percent depending on the size of the estate. But, if you’re also a beneficiary, it may make sense for you to forgo the fee. That’s because it’s taxable income, while Uncle Sam and most states doesn’t tax inheritances.

(To find the inheritance tax law in your aunt’s state, see retirementliving.com.)

• Prepare and file final income tax returns.

• Distribute assets to the beneficiaries named in her will.

Get Organized If you agree to take on the responsibility of your aunt’s estate, your first step is to meet with her and make sure she has an updated will, and find out where all her important documents and financial information is located. Being able to quickly put your hands on deeds, brokerage statements and insurance policies after she dies will save you a lot of time and hassle.

Get Help If your aunt has a complex estate, consider hiring an attorney or tax account to guide you through the process, with the estate picking up the cost.

Find out if your aunt uses anyone in particular for legal or tax advice. If so, get their names and contact information. Once she dies, you can use them or hire someone else. Whoever you choose, make sure they have experience dealing with estates. If you need help locating a pro, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela. org), and the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (naepc.org) are good resources to help you search.

The Polk County American Legion Memorial Post #250 donated its 56” TV to the American Legion Post #526 located in the Veteran’s Restoration Quarters (VRQ) in Asheville, N.C. Post #526 is the only American Legion Post in the United States that is headquartered in a veteran’s shelter. The Asheville

Buncombe Community Christian Ministry (ABCCM) used donations to convert an old hotel into a shelter for homeless veterans and provide “on-the-job” and/or work-related training courses.

A core group of these veterans felt the need to establish an American Legion Post and hold its regular meetings at the VRQ.

Accepting the TV were Kim Spangle, commander of Post #256, Ron Kennedy, VRQ facilities manager, and four other members of their American Legion Post. Representing Post #250 were Frank Ortiz (who coordinated the donation), Michael Collins, commander, Ervin Fletcher and Glenn Burgess.

2010-2011 N.C. Teaching Fellows Scholarship applications available The North Carolina Teaching Fellows Commission announced recently that the 2010-2011 application for the North Carolina Teaching Fellows Scholarship/Loan Program will be available online at www.teachingfellows.org beginning August 13.

The deadline for students to return completed applications to a Teaching Fellows Liaison Counselor in a high school is October 13, by the end of the school day.

Jo Ann Norris, associate executive director for the Public School Forum and administrator of the teaching fellows program, states, “In order to meet the increasing demand for top quality teachers for North Carolina’s public schools, the program was created by the General

Assembly in 1986, upon the recommendation of the Public School Forum of North Carolina.”

Each teaching fellow receives a $26,000 scholarship/loan from the state, payable in $6,500 annual increments. The full loan is forgiven after the fellow has completed four years of teaching in North Carolina’s public schools. Dr. Michael D. Priddy, chair of the North Carolina Teaching Fellows Commission, issues a challenge to North Carolina high school seniors. “I encourage high school seniors willing to make dreams come true for future North Carolina students to apply for this one-of-a-kind opportunity.”

The North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program continues to be the top teacher-recruitment program in the

United States. “The primary purpose of the program is to attract top high school seniors to become education majors and ultimately public school teachers,” Kerry L. Mebane, director of the teaching fellows program, states. He adds, “In addition to the summer programs provided by the teaching fellows commission, the 17 colleges and universities participating in the program offer unparalleled teacher education experiences - experiences which produce high quality educators and leaders for the state’s public schools.”

Additional program information is available online via the teaching fellows website at www.teachingfellows.org. Applications may be downloaded from this site.
