Courthouse sidewalk repair project complete Rain gardens next on council member Kan's project list by Leah Justice
Columbus council member Ernie Kan announced last week that the courthouse sidewalk repairs are complete. She also asked council for their permission to embark on her next project, rain gardens. Kan took on the sidewalk project in June as a volunteer effort. The town has agreed to cut costs and maintain a lean budget with no tax increases this year, so Kan did the project using no town funding. She and numerous volunteers took up each brick, leveled the ground and smoothed out the sidewalk. The sidewalk's uneven bricks have presented a fall hazard for years. (Continued on page 6)

by Leah Justice
After giving family members more time earlier this summer to make improvements to a Markham Road house and seeing no results, the Town of Tryon has decided to move forward with demolishing the structure. The house is located at 810 Markham Road. On two occasions since April, representatives the home's owners Brick, rock,ofblock & stucco asked for more time to do repairs. The town approved an ordinance to demolish the house in May because it did not meet code. During council’s June meeting, family members of the10/9 owners of the MWF,end house asked council to allow them to fix the house so it could be rented out. The town gave them 30 days to turn in a plan and asked that outside maintenance begin immediately. Town manager Justin Hembree said since that time he believes the grass has been cut once, but no other improvements have been done. Hembree told town council last Tuesday that family members have not submitted a plan for improve-

Saturday. m,W Road home The 908 Markham end 11/25for 20 to 25 has been abandoned years, according to the town. Tryon agreed a couple of years ago to begin a process to demolish dilapidated houses in town and budgeted $35,000 for the work. Town officials went on a tour and created a list of such dilapidated structures.
'Uncle Lis seems to have been quite a fellow' Working for the past nine years, Beauford Arledge, 84, gathered his memories into a book that only he could write, “The Stories of the Green River Cove.” With permission, the Tryon Daily Bulletin is sharing excerpts from the book with our readers over the next several weeks. To purchase a copy of “Stories of the Green River Cove” call Arledge’s daughter, Susan Howell, at 894-3724. Lis (Ulysses) Branch A story has it that Lis Arledge lived up the branch about halfway between Grandpa’s house and where we lived. We called it the Lis Branch. Lis was Granddad’s brother. Many times he hid out in the woods, hiding from the law. He tried to support himself living in the laurel and ivy thickets along the branches and making moonshine.

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.

Kan thanked everyone who helped with the sidewalk project, including local fire, police and emergency service volunteers who helped the effort and two men who came almost every day. She said the last part of the work would not have been finished yet without the help of the Polk County Recreation Department summer camp students. She said students came every Tuesday and Thursday to pick up bricks and replace them. Kan was seen working on site almost every day this summer, beginning around 6 a.m. Council members thanked Kan for her efforts and gave her a standing ovation last Thursday. “Thank you for working so hard,” said councilman Michael Gage. “I’m extremely impressed.” Kan told council she is thinking of placing rain gardens around the (Continued on page 7)

District One bus driver injured in head-on collision Thursday A bus driver for Spartanburg School District 1 was injured Thursday when the bus was struck head-on by another vehicle, according to a S.C. Hwy. Patrol report. The accident occurred at 4:20 p.m. on Oak Grove Road in the Oak Grove Community of Greenville County. According to Cpl. Bryan McDougald of the
S.C. Highway Patrol, the driver of the other vehicle, Tola Bruce Jr. of Landrum, was driving a 1993 Pontiac four-door north on Oak Grove Road when he entered a curve in the road and lost control. The car veered into the southbound lane, where it collided with the bus head-on. Troopers estimated Bruce was traveling 40 mph in a 35-mph zone;
the bus was going about 15 mph. The bus driver, 55-year-old Janice Turner of Landrum, was taken by ambulance to Mary Black Memorial Hospital. Her condition was not known. The three students were checked by paramedics at the scene and released to their parents, according to a written statement from the school district.
Bruce was charged Thursday with driving too fast for the wet conditions. He was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center by ambulance. He was not wearing a seat belt, according to official reports. Bruce was in jail this past month on several weapons charges, according to Spartanburg County jail reports.

To the Editor: In your “Around the Region” section on Friday, August 13, one item stated that North Carolina is ranked 5th in the nation for most “business-friendly states” by Pollina Corporate Real Estate. A few items away, it noted that theAnnie E. Casey Foundation 2010 Kids Count Data Book reported that North Carolina ranks 37th in child wellbeing—with 20 percent of our state’s children living in poverty, a percentage nearly unchanged since 2000. After looking into both reports, I found that South Carolina—which Pollina ranked as 4th for most “businessfriendly”—is ranked in the Casey Foundation report as 45th in overall child wellbeing, with 22 percent of its children liv-

Action needed on county human services building
22 North Trade Street Tryon, NC 28782 • 828.859.9252 toll-free: 800.859.6270 www.mainstreetfinancialgroup.com www.low-stress-investing.com A member of

To the Editor: There are three objectives I see for the new Human Services building: 1. Get over 30 county employees out of a seriously dangerous work environment, thereby preventing possible fines and lawsuits. 2. Save taxpayer money by taking advantage of the current low building cost. 3. Put money back into our economy by creating some jobs for local contractors. Successful leaders are the ones who are willing to take action when they see opportunities that have the potential for multiple returns. They are the ones who study the overall picture relating to economic impact and community needs
ing in poverty. North Carolina and South Carolina are 45th and 47th respectively in infant mortality—with infants dying in our states at nearly twice the rate they do in Washington State. But the real kicker is that for all our business friendliness, the Casey Foundation reports that 28 percent of children in North Carolina and 30 percent of children in South Carolina live in a family where no parent has a full-time job. Go figure. For all our state’s tax policies, economic incentives and right-to-work legislation, these parents still can’t secure full-time work. By the way, Utah ranked as the 2nd most “businessfriendly” state and 4th in overall child wellbeing. So I’m thinking that before our legislators grant anymore friendly “incentives” or “breaks” for businesses here in the Carolinas, they need to make friends with Utah. – Beth Brand
rather than rely on tactics and opinions that may seem politically advantageous at the moment. Timing and scheduling are major factors in the success of any project. In business, time is money and, in this situation with the new Human Services building, wasting time is wasting money. Our county is lucky to have three commissioners, Cindy Walker, Ray Gasperson and Renee McDermott, who will do the work that is needed to make this project successful and who are brave enough to be truly fiscally responsible. I encourage them to stick with their plans for this project before the county incurs more risk and we miss a golden opportunity to save taxpayer money and create jobs. We need action and paychecks, not more talk. – Margaret Johnson

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius recently announced the award of $1 million to North Carolina to help crack down on health insurance premium increases. North Carolina will use this Affordable Care Act funding to help improve the oversight of proposed health insurance premium increases, take action against insurers seeking unreasonable rate hikes, and ensure North Carolinians receive value for their premium dollars. “The Affordable Care Act puts in place critical market reforms to improve quality and reduce the cost of health care for employers and individuals. Increased competition, lower insurance overhead, and better risk pooling in health insurance Exchanges in 2014 are expected to reduce premiums in the individual market by anywhere from 14 to 20 percent according to the Congressional Budget Office,” said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. “Between now and then, we will continue to work with states to ensure consumers are receiving value for their premium dollars and to avoid the kind of double digit premium increases seen recently. The state proposals approved (recently) demonstrate the need and desire for new resources and tools to help them protect against unjustifiable premium increases.” The Affordable Care Act provides states with $250 million in Health Insurance Premium Review Grants over five years to help create a more level playing field by improving how states review proposed health insurance premium increases and holding insurance companies accountable for unjustified premium increases. Applications for the first round of Health Insurance Premium Review Grants were made available on June 7. The grants build on the Obama Administration’s work with states to implement the Affordable Care Act. Earlier this year, Secretary Sebelius called on certain insurance companies to justify large
premium increases and encouraged state and local officials to obtain stronger health insurance premium review authorities under state laws. This increased scrutiny by the Administration and by several states has led to the withdrawal or reduction of several proposed health insurance premium increases that in some cases turned out to be based on faulty assumptions and data. This grant will be used for the purposes detailed in the approved application. The following is a general summary of how North Carolina intends to use its funding: • Pursue additional legislative authority: Currently all individual rates are subject to prior approval. North Carolina will seek legislative action to standardize data collection and to require that simplified summary information be submitted as a part of this data collection for consumers. • Expand the scope of the review process: The state will expand to prior approval of small and large group markets. • Improve the review process: North Carolina has HMO and individual health insurance premium review currently. The state is seeking expanded authority and will improve the reporting and data collection. • Increase transparency and accessibility: Currently all filings free of confidential information are posted on the web. North Carolina is seeking authority to require insurers to create consumer-friendly summaries. Consideration and planning for public comment and hearings will be explored. • Develop and upgrade technology: North Carolina will improve its efficiency and data collection to aide in the health insurance premium review process. “States will use these grant dollars in the way that makes the most sense for their insurance (Continued on page 11}

• N.C. insurance (continued from page 10}
consumers,” said Jay Angoff, director of the Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight. “As we continue to implement the new health insurance reform law, we will continue to work with states to ensure they have the tools they need to ensure the stability of the marketplace, keep costs low and provide consumers with increased transparency, choice and quality they need to make the best health care decisions for their businesses and families.” The Health Insurance Premium Review Grants are one element of a broad effort under the Affordable Care Act to reduce the unreasonable premium increases proposed by some insurers today. Additional resources from this $250 million program will be available in subsequent years to further strengthen state health insurance premium review procedures. Other statutory provisions designed to improve affordability include: • In 2011, the Affordable Care Act allows the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to review justifications for unreasonable increases in premiums and make them public; • In 2011, insurers will gener-
Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper
ally be required to spend at least 80 percent of premium dollars on medical care services and quality-improvement activities and limit their spending on overhead, marketing, CEO salaries, and profits; and • In 2014, the Affordable Care Act empowers states to exclude health plans that show a pattern of excessive or unjustified premium increases from the new health insurance exchanges. The Affordable Care Act includes a wide variety of provisions designed to promote a high-quality, high-value, health care system for all Americans and to make the health insurance market more consumer-friendly and transparent. Some of the provisions that take effect by the end of next year, or are already in effect, include prohibitions on pre-existing condition exclusions for children; prohibition on lifetime dollar limits in all health plans; extended access to insurance for many young adults; and an unprecedented level of transparency about health insurance through www. HealthCare.gov. To read more about how each state will use its grant funding, visit www.healthcare.gov/center/ grants/index.html.

Horse blood disease found in N.C. A horse blood disease that the U.S. was free of for 20 years has returned, and North Carolina is on the growing list of states with cases. Agricultural commissioner Steve Troxler announced Thursday that blood tests submitted to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory confirmed the presence of equine piroplasmosis in 11 horses at four locations. According to state veterinarian Dr. David Marshall, a large cattle ranch in Texas has more than 100 cases that remained undetected for many years. North Carolina joins 19 other states that have identified cases of the disease in the past two
years. The four locations where the cases of equine piroplasmosis were found were in Robeson, Wake, Cumberland and Hoke counties. “Horse owners and others in the equine industry in North Carolina should monitor their horses carefully and contact their veterinarian if they suspect this disease,” Troxler said. “Because the U.S. has been free of this disease for two decades, by law suspected cases must be reported to the state veterinarian’s office.” Equine piroplasmosis is a blood-borne parasitic disease transmitted to horses by ticks or contaminated needles. – article submitted

Letter to the Editor
I’ve been thinking about people working to help each other out To the Editor: Although some recent “parties” are getting a lot of attention, I am glad I was not invited. Instead of coming up with constructive, compassionate solutions to help people in need, they are mostly stirring up unrest. I’ve been thinking about concrete solutions that we, the people, can effect to alleviate our growing concerns. I learned one of the most effective keys to survival lies within the strength of the community when I interviewed 100 people who survived the Great Depression for a multi-media project called “Personal Legacies: Surviving the Great Depression”. To make it through the hard times, families moved in with one another and neighbors shared what they had and looked out for one another. Recognizing that they were all in the same boat, people of all cultures and backgrounds worked together to survive. As a participant and facilitator in the Fetzer Institute’s Campaign for Love & Forgiveness for the past four years, I have become keenly aware of how interrelated love and forgiveness are with compassion. The Institute believes that “the critical issues in the world can best be served by integrating the inner life of the mind and spirit with the outer life of action and service to the world.” That reminded me of the oldfashioned custom of barn raising. In early rural America, community barn raisings were part of a social framework based on interdependence. In response to individual or community need, neighbors would help newcomers construct the frame and rafters for a barn or volunteer to rebuild those structures destroyed by fire or other disasters. Although it is still practiced in Amish and Mennonite cultures today, similar concepts have roots in several cultures around the world.

On October 10, 2010, individuals in communities around the world will participate in modern day “barn-raisings” or “work parties” to bring about community solutions to our energy crisis. The hope is that their actions will send a simple message to our government and community leaders: “We’re working — what about you?” As our former President, John F. Kennedy, once urged, “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” Know any barns that need raising in our neck of the woods?
