Two low bidders vie for DSS building 11 bids range from $1.6M to $1.8M by Leah Justice
Bids for the construction of Polk County’s new department of social services (DSS) building came in very close. The two lowest bidders were within $12,000 of each other. But Polk County commissioners can’t select a contractor yet because who is the low bidder depends on several factors that are yet to be determined. The county asked contractors to provide two cost totals, one if the water pressure to the site is high enough that a pump and generator are not needed and another if the pump and generator are required. If a pump and generator are needed, MV Momentum construction of Charlotte will (Continued on page 5)

be the low bidder, but if a pump and generator are not needed, Able Constructors of Greenville, S.C., will be the low bidder. The county won’t be able to determine if the water pressure is sufficient until a water line and fire hydrant are installed, which could take a few weeks. Polk County opened bids last Thursday for the new building to be located off Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring. The county received 11 bids that ranged from $1,815,000 to $1,665,000. The two lowest bids were from Momentum Construction, with a bid of $1,665,000, and Able Constructors, S.C., with a bid of $1,677,000. Momentum will deduct $45,000 from its bid if the pump and generator is not needed,
which will take Momentum's bid to $1,620,000. Able will deduct $58,245 from its bid if the water pressure is sufficient. That will take Able's bid to $1,618,755, making it the low bidder, with a mere $1,245 separating the two. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said he never imagined that the bids would be this close. The county has also decided to remove a screen wall that was originally specified around an outside mechanical area. Momentum's bid drops by $6,100 with the screen wall removed, and Able's bid drops by $13,000, leaving Able still the low bidder. The end result is that if the water pressure is sufficient and a pump is not needed, Able Constructors will be the low (Continued on page 6)

ey for city hall renovations. He said the city has a $1 million facility nearby at Saluda Mountain Jamboree and has been speaking with owners Bob and Linda Whitaker about hosting such fundraisers. “During this time of recession, I think it’s time we look outside the box for Saluda,” Williams said. The city is talking about hosting three runs per year and is already in discussions with potential volunteers, such as members of its newly formed historical committee. “If all goes well it can be an annual thing that could bring some welcome money for city hall,” Williams said. All commissioners expressed support for the project, with commissioner John Morgan
adding that he likes the idea of the city promoting fitness. The city has historically allowed outside organizations to hold a 5K run during the annual Coon Dog Day festival in July. Some officials said it might as well be Saluda that benefits from events of that type. The first 5K run is scheduled for Oct. 23 and will begin and finish at Saluda Mountain Jamboree, located off Howard Gap Rd. near I-26. The city has been discussing the need for city hall and police department renovations for years, but officials have been unable to fund the project. Recently, community momentum in support of the renovations has grown, and the newly established historical committee includes a sub-committee specifically named the city hall restoration committee.

Department of Public Instruction. Students from Polk County scored an average of 1,034 when math and reading scores were combined, compared to the national average of 1,017. Statewide, the average score was 1,008, just nine points below the national average. Locally, 57.2 percent of students took the exam, compared to 47 percent nationally and 63 percent in North Carolina. “We’re quite proud that our results are above the state and national level,” said Polk County Schools Superintendent Bill Miller. “We also had a large percentage of students take the time to take the test as well, so
that’s something to be proud of, too.” Polk County students averaged 534 in mathematics and 500 in critical reading. When the writing score was added, local students were 10 points below the national average of 492. Among the 22 school districts in Western North Carolina, Asheville City Schools had the top average score with a total of 1,105 (543 math, 562 reading). Polk County’s average score of 1,034 ranked eighth among school districts in Western North Carolina, just one point behind Transylvania County. “I’m used to being ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the region, so I’m not sure how I feel about that,” said Miller. “But Western North Carolina schools were among the top-10 in the country as a region, so we’re a part of that.”

On June 22, true to the Methodist tradition, nearly 200 of the more than 1,000 persons appointed to local churches in Western North Carolina packed up their belongings in one community and took up residence in another. In Tryon, Methodists bade a fond farewell to their minister of five years, the Rev. Neil Haynes, who was appointed to a church in Concord, N.C. Hours later, a welcoming committee returned to the Methodist parsonage to greet the Rev. Phillip M. Hurst and help him, his wife Diane Stamey, and her mother move into their new home. Their daughter, Lori, lives in Charlotte with her husband and young son. Hurst’s path to the ministry was sure, if not direct. He graduated from Appalachian State University with a B.A. in geography and urban planning and spent the first 15 years of his career in local government – 10 years in High Point, N.C., as a city planner and five years in Mt. Airy, N.C., as director of planning and community development. In Mt. Airy, involvement in his local church brought rewards that left him with an important decision to make concerning his future. He could envision continued growth in his current career, yet he kept asking himself one question: “What if I offered my abilities to God to build up the church?” The answer to that question led him to Duke Divinity School. After Divinity School, he began the series of appointments that would ultimately bring him to Tryon. Early in his ministry, he married Diane Stamey, herself ordained in the counseling ministry. She holds M.A. degrees in divinity and counseling from Southern

Rev. Phillip M. Hurst
Seminary and Appalachian State University and currently serves as the director of the Mountain Center for Pastoral Counseling in Clyde, N.C., near Lake Junaluska. She is also a provider in the Asheville District’s Potter’s Touch Counseling Center. Hurst’s professional focus for the last several years has been on leadership development, missional leadership churches, and technology and media in worship. He is certified in coaching churches through the Natural Church Development and Vital Signs Strategic Planning Programs and is a conference mentor for ministerial candidates. Referring to a popular Methodist slogan, “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors,” Hurst says he is passionate about the need for the church to step out into the community and show the heart of Christ. Hurst says, “When churches and their members focus on helping, serving, living out their faith, they can bring tremendous benefit to the community and perhaps restore some of the trust in the institutional church that has eroded in our society over the past several decades. That’s what ‘missional leadership’ means. It is the most important challenge facing the church today.” — article submitted

Big snakes in Columbus To the Editor: Yes Tommy, we did support you and Warren in 2006 and worked to help you both get elected. Yes, we did give you the benefit of the doubt when you served as the minority for two years on the board with Pack and Owens. However I don’t agree that you two are the same people that we supported in 2006. One of problems with 2c the x 2.5in our political system 7/7 W, F is that we elect people only to sometimes see themCAHP-037506 change as they realize the power that they have.

that mostly benefit them, never being able to admit a mistake, and upping the rhetoric as they try to keep the voters in the dark. One night my wife came out of a meeting in Columbus to a nearly empty street. She found that Tommy’s truck was parked illegally across the back of her car and the car next to her. When she pointed out that there were many empty parking spaces and he was parked illegally, Tommy replied that “he had big snakes” and could park where he pleased. In my last letter I complained about the back room deal that resulted in $95,000 of tax payer’s money being spent on a site that should never have been purchased. My letter resulted in my receiving some interesting phone (Continued on page 15)

calls, all supportive. A caller told me that she and her husband looked at the Park Street lot and that it had an asking price of $75,000. They could not understand why the county paid $95,000. I guess this is just another thing we will never know because when politicians with big snakes do back room deals this is the result. I’m sure Tommy and the other big spenders would like to put this deal back under the carpet where they tried to hide it. If I negotiated a deal where I paid $20,000 over the asking price, I’d want to hide it, too! If you park illegally eventually you will get ticketed. However, when County Commissioners break the rules there doesn’t seem to be anyone to ticket them. The former board of Pack, Owens, Watson and Melton had figured this out and were no longer following the rules. They weren’t looking out for tax payers, it had become all about them. We have to watch what goes on and we need to speak up when we should. Former or current commissioners need to be judged on their records and not on their campaign speeches! Yes, Tommy I do attend commissioner meetings, not all of them but far more than you realize. Of course you don’t care who is watching, because you’ve got big snakes. – Jerry Hardvall

GLAUCOMA SLT THERAPY
SlT (Selective laser Trabeculoplasty) is a safe and simple in-office laser treatment that effectively reduces eye pressure for most patients with glaucoma. This type of treatment uses an advanced laser system to target only specific cells in the eye. it does not rely on medicines and can be a better solution for patients. SAFE: SlT is not associated with side effects or the compliance and cost issues of medications. SELECTIVE: SlT utilizes selective photothermolysis to target only specific cells, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. SMART: SlT stimulates the body’s natural mechanisms to enhance outflow of the fluid in your eye, which may allow elimination of drops. SENSIBLE: SlT therapy is reimbursed by Medicare and many other insurance providers.
EARLY DETECTION
A person in the early stages of glaucoma may not experience any symptoms. Vision loss from glaucoma is permanent, but can usually be prevented with early detection and treatment. Once diagnosed, glaucoma management is usually a lifelong process that requires regular monitoring and treatment by an eye care provider.

Alcohol abuse, alcoholism discussion to be held atBlue Ridge Community College September 21
For most adults, moderate alcohol use is not harmful. However, nearly 17.6 million adults in the United States are alcoholics or have alcohol problems. Alcoholism is a disease with four main features: • Craving - a strong need to drink • Loss of control - not being able to stop drinking once you’ve begun • Physical dependence - withdrawal symptoms, i.e. nausea, sweating or shakiness after stopping drinking • Tolerance - the need to drink greater amounts of alcohol in order to get the reward. Alcoholism carries many serious dangers. Heavy drinking can increase the risk of certain cancers. It can cause damage to the liver, brain and other organs. It can cause birth defects. It increases the risk of death from
car crashes and other injuries as well as the risk of homicide and suicide according to the NIH: National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Are specific groups of people more likely to have problems? Alcohol abuse and alcoholism cut across gender, race, and nationality. In general, more men than women are alcohol dependent or have alcohol problems. And alcohol problems are highest among young adults ages 18 to 29 and lowest among adults ages 65 and older. We also know that people who start drinking at an early age - for example, at age 14 or younger - are at much higher risk of developing alcohol problems at some point in their lives compared to someone who starts drinking at age 21 or after. How can you tell if someone has a problem? Answering the following four questions can help
you find out if you or a loved one has a drinking problem: • Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking? • Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking? • Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking? • Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover? One “yes” answer suggests a possible alcohol problem. More than one “yes” answer means it is highly likely that a problem exists. If you think that you or someone you know might have an alcohol problem, it is important to seek professional help to determine if a drinking problem exists and plan the best course of action. Many people also find support groups a helpful aid to recovery. The following list includes a variety of resources that can be

The current national alcohol recovery rate is 18.2 percent but there are recovery models that have long term recovery rates of 75 to 80 percent. Why are these treatment models successful and what can we learn from them? What is the underlying cause of relapse and how can it be prevented? Bill Wilson, one of the founders of AA, is often credited with having discovered the missing link to recovery and devoted the end of his life to teaching others. Now we have 30 years of successful

are fined $50 and confined to base for 30 days.” Currently, I am re-reading Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Naht Hanh, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk and the founder of the Order of Interbeing and the Unified Buddhist Church. As a Christian minister in Florida threatens to burn copies of the Quran and Muslims across the world declare jihad, Hanh in the passages quoted below, reminds us of the importance of understanding and respecting the beliefs of others. Responding to Professor Hans Kung’s assertion that.“ Until there is peace between religions, there can be no peace in the world.” Hanh writes: “People kill and are killed because they cling too tightly to their own beliefs and ideologies. When we believe that ours is the only faith that contains the truth, violence and suffering will surely result.” And then from the Order of Interbeing: “Do not think the knowledge you currently possess is changeless, absolute truth. Avoid being narrow-minded and bound to present views. Learn and practice nonattachment from views in order to be open to receive others’ viewpoints.” So I told the CO that day in Vietnam, “Sir, I just wanted to know what their religion was all about.” And he responded, “But you parked my jeep in that town?” Don Weathington is a retired psychotherapist and business owner who lives in Gillette Woods at a place called Birdland.

Bonesteel to present quilting retrospective at Landrum Library Noted quilter Georgia Bonesteel of Flat Rock, N.C., will present a quilting retrospective on September 21 at the Landrum Library. The 6:30 p.m. program is open to the public and is sponsored by the Friends of the Landrum Library and the Landrum Quilters. Credited with fueling a revival of quilting in the seventies, this internationally-recognized quilter will share stories of her quilting journey and examples of her continuing quilt artistry. As creator and host of “Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel,” produced by North Carolina Public Television, she has
inspired quilters throughout the country. The series is still running on PBS. In 2005 she partnered with her son Paul to produce the documentary “The Great American Quilt Revival” which featured well-known quilters, historians and collectors discussing their art and role in the revolution of modern quilting. A longtime seamstress, Bonesteel graduated from Northwestern University with a home economics and merchandising degree. When a move took the Bonesteel family to New Orleans, she began a small business, Cajun Quilters, making one-of-a-kind quilted patchwork evening bags.
A subsequent move to North Carolina in 1972 and Bonesteel’s renewed interest in quilting has led to an illustrious career in teaching, writing and promoting quilting. In the late seventies, Bonesteel taught quilting lessons to a group of interested women at the old Landrum Library. She and former Landrum librarian Ruth Farrar are credited with founding the Landrum Library Quilt Club in 1980. Now known as the Landrum Quilters, the club is celebrating its 30th year with more than 140 members. For more information, visit www.georgiabonesteel.com and

Crossing the line It appears there is no way to build a public building in polk County without a controversy. It hasn’t happened in 20 years. Bless those who bear up our responsibilities. It is unclear to us why, at any discussion of bricks and mortar, the public brings out the brickbats. But one can be sure this time it has something to do with the fact that we have eight candidates running for three seats on the county board. Critics routinely fill the board room during election season, while supporters stay clear. One could get the wrong impression and miss the many reasoned, balanced views in the county regarding the long-planned, much needed Department of Social Services building. We are thankful that public comment is encouraged. We are thankful we live in a country where our speech is protected and those in power have no right to censor us. However, we also esteem the Judeo-Christian tradition that calls us to show respect for all those holding authority over us. Teachers, from John the Baptist to Jesus to paul, instructed us again and again to submit, “for there is no authority except that which god has established.” Before you say, “But nowadays!” recall that those in power would later put each one of these men to death. By contrast, the extreme rhetoric and disrespect toward those in public office, so casually offered today, is corrosive and ugly. Speakers, by their outrageous, angry words, set american against american without fear of facts. a nation without bonds of trust and goodwill will disintegrate, become like Somalia. It is shameful behavior. Let us hope that at least here, neighbors will never adopt such disgraceful tones with one another. Just in case, the county board policy states that the county chair may caution, set down and ultimately remove anyone out of order. The policy enforces the wisdom of good citizenship. Let us hope our neighbors never cross the line and simply choose on their own to show proper respect. — JB

I want to recognize and thank Mark for all that he has done to build a first class public library system in polk County — our new Columbus library as well as the Saluda library and bookmobile.

MWF,end 10/9 Antibodies play Rogers Park September 17 1x2 1x2
The Antibodies with the Pulse will be playing at Rogers Park Friday, September 17. The Antibodies first started playing together in 1996 or 1997. At the time Tom Conder, one of the group’s founders, was involved with theater in the area, Spartanburg’s Little Theater and USCS’s Shoestring Players. Conder recalls the beginning of the Antibodies and the Pulse: “I was friends with Peggy Magarahan with whom I’d done a show with in ‘97. Peggy is a dancer and has contributed to many of the musical shows that the theaters in this area have produced. Thru the years I’d often talk to Peggy about choreographing one of the songs but we were all busy and it would just pass. “In 2008 I called her and said, ‘Do you want to really try it?’ I told her that I was sure we could find a way to perform it.
