Columbus wins PARTF grant for vets park Town plans to buy lot with $48k grant by Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus should be able to move forward with the purchase of a lot of approximately one acre adjacent to Veteran’s Park, which is located off Gibson Street just behind downtown.

The town was notified last Thursday that it received $48,000 from the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund to go toward the purchase. Town council approved the acceptance of the grant during its meeting last week. The town has been raising funds for some time to be able to

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties

make the purchase without taxpayer money. The grant requires a 50/50 match, and the town has already obtained the matching $48,000 through “various fundraisers and generous donations,” according to town manager Jonathan Kanipe’s report. (Continued on page 6)

Most of the effects of the Deepwater Horizon tragedy are obvious to everyone – the physical impact on the water, the land, the economy and the lives and health of the people who live along the Gulf. But there is one all-encompassing piece of the picture that is not as easy to see. People are losing their land, their jobs, their homes, their health, their whole way of life, and the mental and emotional stress of this is building daily, and not likely to be relieved in the near future. In the aftermath of Katrina, when the storm was over, people began to rebuild and hope shone through in stages, like the sun breaking through the clouds. People began to rebuild their lives and every day was a milestone. It is a very different scenario in this case. The enormous scope of the clean-up, the long-term effect on the environment, on residents’ lives and on the economy combined with the fact that there is no foreseeable end to it and no way to even guess what the long term effects may be or how BP and the government intend to handle it are creating an intense, ongoing stress. Brick,level rock,ofblock & stucco And it’s not just confined to the Coast. Just as the whole nation was affected by the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we are all being affected by this, some in MWF,end small ways. These are 10/9 our neighbors, friends and family who are dealing with this tragedy. Our local economies are or soon will be affected by the financial fallout of this disaster, and will be for some time to come. We began to feel the effects early on in our journey to the coast. On our third day there, we drove to Holly Beach, La., almost all the way to Texas, to help with a beach clean-up effort, remov-

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

Editor’s note: Following is the full response from Polk County commissioner Cindy Walker 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.

Did you approve of the transfer of the $285,000 from the sale of the James Tool building to the hospital and if so, why? I voted in favor of the transfer. After two months, four meetings, and two Power Point presentations, the information shared by the hospital representatives, members of the community, and the joint hospital and county committee recommendations appeared to demonstrate that St. Luke's Hospital, one of Polk County’s largest employers and drawing cards for residency choices, was truly in dire straits. In general, how do you feel about the donation now? I am both amazed and puzzled at the “turn around” particularly in light of the statements made by commissioner Melton, voting member of the St. Luke's board of trustees, in the April 20, 2009 approved minutes, “that, given the response the board heard tonight OWNER MUST SELL this NC Mountain log cabin, $87,900. 2.58-acre wooded setting with large creek, cathedral ceilings, 1288sf, covered porches, easy to finish. 866-738-5522. TWO BEDROOM, TWO BATH nice remodeled mobile home on half acre lot, Green Creek. Water, garbage pickup, yard work furnished. $500 month. No pets. 828-899-4905.

and the need of maintaining quality healthcare, this really is an emergency situation” and that he “wants to move forward and be progressive, and not wait until the hospital does close.” To think that a $285,000.00 “shot in the arm”, could bring our beloved patient, St. Luke's, from death’s door in less than a year is truly remarkable; add to that a dose of fee hikes, staff cuts, and hard work and what you have is nothing short of miraculous. What assistance do you see the county giving to St. Luke’s in the future? Things appear to be going so well that perhaps St. Luke's might consider it possible to replenish the fund that handily aided their recovery so that other businesses and deserving entities might experience similar successes. — Cindy Walker

Editor’s Note: The following article was submitted by Larry Poe, president of the Second Wind Hall of Fame. Polk County and the Thermal Belt area is home to more than 250 non-profit organizations. They provide a multitude of valuable services to our community and its residents. The lifeblood and driving force behind these community organizations are the thousands of volunteers, mostly retirees, who offer their time, their talents, and their money to help those organizations succeed. The Second Wind Hall of Fame is a Thermal Belt entity whose mission is to recognize the many efforts of local volunteers and to honor those who have made significant contributions. In the past 30 years, over 200 volunteers have been inducted into the Second Wind Hall of Fame. Their certification reads “…in recognition of a useful and productive life, continuing beyond retirement. While others paused to rest, this dedicated person caught a ‘second wind’ and began a new career of service to the community and mankind.” The Second Wind Hall of Fame has a nine member board of directors who are personally involved in volunteer activities in this area. The present board includes Larry Poe (president), Frank Ortiz (vice president), Wayne Ackerman (secretary), Carl Schumacher (treasurer), Beth Cannon, Garland Goodwin, Dick Long, Ann Whitmire, and

Ben Woodward. An annual banquet meeting is scheduled for October 1, when SWHF members and their guests will greet the new inductees and celebrate their achievements. Columnist Pam Stone will be the featured speaker. The qualifications for consideration of new inductees are that the applicant be a retiree, be over age 65, have given volunteer service to at least three local organizations for three years, and be sponsored by one of them. The sponsoring application would include the nominal fee which covers the processing, the certification, and the inductee’s attendance at the annual banquet. The fee is returned if the applicant is not approved for induction. No salaries are paid to anyone. All excess revenues are added to the Second Wind career improvement fund, made available in grants through the Polk County Community Foundation. Current grantees include a health care worker studying for a nursing degree and a church camp operator enrolling in seminary. Anyone who knows an outstanding volunteer who deserves such recognition can start the confidential Second Wind evaluation process by contacting one of the directors named above. It is said of new inductees: “May God give this servant strength to continue constructive efforts, radiant with courage, as an inspiration to all.” Larry Poe, president Second Wind Hall of Fame

Letter to the Editor

Crewmen still around who will appreciate letter To the Editor: I appreciate you ever so much for running my reprint column and the letter and photo of the B-17G Sentimental Journey, lovingly restored by the Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force. I saw her at the CAF Museum near Mesa, AZ when we were out there in January. She was getting her annual sprucing up for the coming year of appearances on the air show circuit. There are a goodly number of crewmen still around who will appreciate seeing the letter, including Sid (Barnsley) at TDB. My cousin Bryant flew B-17s for gunnery training before becoming Airplane Commander on a B-29 that he flew off Tinnian Island in the Pacific. There are also a number of B-17 crewmen who are members of the Western North Carolina Air Museum in Hendersonville. I am editor of its newsletter, Skylines . . . The current issue includes an article about a B-17 radio operator who presented a program for us. Really enjoyed Pam Stone’s birthday party. But like her mom, I’d pass on the Big Mac. – Garland O. Goodwin

suitable for all audiences. There is no fee to submit artwork, and all pieces are judged by area arts professionals.

George Freier died early Saturday morning, August 21, at Hospice House in Landrum with his wife, Patricia, and children, Connie and Jim, by his side. He was 89 years old. George is survived by Pat, his wife of 69 years, his daughter, Connie Freier of Arden, N.C, and his son, Dr. James Freier and wife, Martha, of Seattle Washington. He will also be deeply missed by his sister, Elinor Potter, seven grandchildren (Patti, Jacob, Isaac, Abraham, Danielle, Heather, Nathan), and five great-grandchildren (Gaia, Joshua, Zavier, Owen, Aiden), plus numerous loving nieces and nephews. George was born to Gottlieb and Caroline Freier on a 30acre fruit farm just outside Benton Harbor, Mich., on March 15, 1921. He was the 12th of 13 children, preceded in death by six brothers and five sisters. He learned the lessons of hard work and dedication while growing up on the farm and applied those throughout his life in both his profession and lifetime of community service. George graduated from Benton Harbor High School in 1939, where he met the love of his life, Patricia Curtis. They married on June 28, 1941. George completed his veterinary studies while attending the college of veterinary medicine at Michigan State University, graduating in 1943. Upon graduation, the Army Reserves commissioned George a second lieutenant with orders to practice large animal medicine in Unionville, Mich. At the end of the war, he and Pat and their two small children moved back to Benton Harbor where he established the Freier Animal Hospital and later, the Hawthorne Animal Clinic. During the next 40 years, in addi-

tion to practicing veterinary medicine, George served as president of both the Michiana Veterinary Medical Association and the Michigan State Veterinary Association, and also was chairman of the Michigan Board of Examiners in Veterinary Medicine. He loved his profession, often saying that he could not remember a day when he did not look forward to going to work. In 1985, George and Pat retired to Columbus. They built a house in Morgan Chapel Village, where they lived for 11 years and where he served as president of the homeowners’ association. He also served as president of the Rotary Club of Tryon, an organization of which he was a member for 25 years. In 1997, they moved to Tryon Estates, a loving retirement community. There George made many good friends and took an active part in several committees, including the medical liaison committee and the Christmas gift committee. George was an active member of the Tryon Presbyterian Church for 25 years. In 1992, he was awarded the State of North Carolina Certificate of Appreciation for his “dedication and devotion in providing volunteer services to North Carolina’s greatest resource, her people.” It was George’s commitment to community service that led him to become involved with Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, serving as a volunteer for over 20 years. So it was fitting that he spend his final days in Hospice House, surrounded with the loving care of the medical staff and volunteers. George was highly respected and loved by all who knew him, and will be greatly missed. His memorial service will be held at Tryon Presbyterian Church at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 4, 2010. Remembrances may be made to Hospice of Carolina Foothills, Tryon Rotary Scholarship Fund, or the Tryon Presbyterian Church.

Parents or caregivers must accompany children and remain with them throughout the program. Check the library website at www.publib.polknc.org to see a schedule of all library children’s programming.

To the Editor: Since the whole planet is having trouble with a shortage of water I thought I would tell you what I did years ago. If you are building a house or remodeling, this is what I did. Build a shower that has a high part where you step in, like you step into a bathtub. Eliminate any bathtubs and fill the shower and soak in it if you want to . This not only uses half the amount of water but you save space and money by not buying a bathtub. – Peggy Carter

The Town of Tryon will be celebrating its 125th birthday on Saturday, September 4. There will be many activities that weekend, including a parade, exhibits and the opening of the Toymakers Museum. A concert will be held on Saturday afternoon from 2 to 7 p.m. on McCown Street in downtown Tryon, right next to the Nina Simone sculpture. All of the performers have a connection to Tryon. If there is rain, the concert will take place across the street in the Tryon Theatre. Opening the show at 2 p.m. will be Joyce Breeden on vocals and guitar. Originally from this area, Breeden has been singing professionally since college days in Virginia. Over the years she has toured throughout the southeast as a solo performer, and with various musicians and bands. Her music is a personal mix of folk, traditional, country, blues and original songs. At 3 p.m. it’s time for Cabell Brand on solo guitar and vocals. Brand will be a senior this year at Polk County High School, but don’t let his youth fool you; he has played a number of shows. His music can be heard at www. myspace.com/redcloudmusician. And this concert takes place on his 17th birthday. Wishgrove is set to play at 4 p.m. This group is a rock band that writes, records, and performs

Early pioneer, Gresham Callahan, left indelible mark on Dark Corner Indian fighter, pioneer, trapper and trader, Gresham Callahan, came to the mountains of the Dark Corner in the very early years of the nineteenth century. He first appeared in the census of 1810. He settled at the foot of a mountain that bears his name. The modern day roadway that traverses the route of the old State Road passing by his mountain is now aptly named Callahan Mountain Road. A higher mountain on the opposite side of this roadway is called Old Indian Mountain. There are some who say that this mountain, too, is named for Callahan since one of his numerous nicknames was “Old Indian.” Others say the mountain was named for an aging Cherokee chief. In any event, Gresham Callahan was the first known resident of a log cabin built at the foot of Old Indian Mountain around 1810. Log cabin experts consider it an unusual structure because it was started in the Cherokee style of construction and finished in the style of white settlers to the area. Located a short distance from Poinsett’s Bridge, built on the old State Road in 1820, the cabin was Callaham’s residence at the time of the bridge’s construction. The State of South Carolina paid Callahan and three other settlers small amounts of reparation for damages to their crops in converting the Indian trail into a usable toll road. The grizzled old trapper and trader was buried on Graveyard Hill, a small ridge between Old Indian Mountain and Little Mountain, to the northeast of

Ours

Yours

Moments and people We’ve been working our way through the Book of ecclesiastes this summer at church. The book reveals the depression that inevitably results from seeking happiness in worldly things. The book gives us a chance to see the world through the eyes of a person who, though very wise, is trying to find meaning in temporary, human things. Most every form of worldly pleasure is explored by the Teacher, and none of it gives him a sense of meaning. It has been very timely reading as we notice a world which has come face-to-face these past few years with selfish human follies and their demise. Yet, the wisdom in the story is to realize that moments and people are what we do have in life. Look around this past week and you see moments and people to celebrate. Of course, the children, the youngsters, skipping and laughing, remind us of our own youth. We too were carefree, though, thinking back, the world was no less troubled. Conflict was raging in Viet Nam and at home. As we were then, tomorrow, happy youngsters, full of optimism, return to classrooms, seeking knowledge and growth. Look at Columbus, where councilwoman ernie Kan determined that — money or no money — the sidewalk around the historic courthouse would be replaced, brick by brick. Others gravitated to her vision and it was done. Look at polk County Schools where a Chinese teacher has come to broaden the horizons of middle school students, teaching them Mandarin and Chinese culture. When they are grown, it will be a different world. polk County today seeks to teach what they will need tomorrow. Look at Tryon, where budget woes have been front page news all spring. It looks promising for the town to perhaps receive a $2.6 million grant to create bike lanes and sidewalks, to realize long planned improvements. Hold on to such moments, and people. They are truly the only stuff of the good life. — JB

majority of our Board simply ignores our agreed-upon budget in an effort to expedite this project at any cost. and I’m surprised and disappointed that Mr. Byrd is “drinking the Kool-aid”. and by the way, I am not advocating for a change of site at this late date. Wolverine Trail is our building site. I voted for it and I do not want to change it. What I am asking my fellow Commissioners to do, is to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. Citizens expect us to spend wisely. And finally, Mr. Byrd refers to

comparing actual bids and clearer costs with “fantasy numbers”. The only fantasy I am aware of is that ”polk County government has a money tree”. The reality is that we are in a recession. polk County government needs to do what most polk County citizens have learned to do...live on less, spend wisely, and stretch our budget dollars. I sincerely believe that we can build this DSS building for our original budget of $1.7 Million, and that is my goal! — Warren Watson, Polk County Commissioner
