Tryon applies for program designed to fix problems blocking downtown success by Leah Justice

Tryon may get some help soon in identifying and eliminating regulations that might be inhibiting healthy downtown business. The town agreed last week to apply to participate in a N.C. Department of Commerce program through the Office of Urban Development and the Community

Planning Program. Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree explained that the program is seeking up to three Main Street communities to participate. Tryon has been a member of the Main Street program for the past couple of years, so the town qualifies for the assistance. “The N.C. Main Street and

LiveStrong challenge weekend events. Komnick's first challenge, however, is to find the $5,000 that all riders are required to raise in order to participate. As of last week, she had raised about $1,900, so she still needs about $3,100. Komnick is a fitness instructor and personal trainer at The Cliffs at Glassy in Upstate South Carolina. A student majoring in environmental science and natural resources, she is also an equestrian who used to work for Jeanne Smith at Clear View Farm in Landrum. The event is organized by the Palmetto Peloton Project in Upstate South Carolina, a nonprofit corporation that exists to promote the advancement of cancer research and advocacy efforts locally, regionally and nationally through fundraising fitness events. In 2008, the First Annual Challenge to Conquer Cancer relay ride to Austin included 23 cyclists and 31 support crew members. Last year, the sponsor, Palmetto Peloton Project raised more than $200,000 between the Challenge to Conquer Cancer and another event called the Stars and Stripes.

A local equestrian supplement published monthly in the tryon daily Bulletin.

Columbus, Saluda and Tryon town officials and Polk County officials will hold their third joint meeting tomorrow. The group will continue discussions on the possibility of forming a joint water authority. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Columbus Town Hall. Last month’s joint meeting included a presentation given by the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority about the process of creating such a joint water authority. Tuckaseigee representatives said they had faced similar challenges when they formed their joint water and sewer authority in Jackson County in 1992 but that the pro-

cess was well worth the effort. The county and towns last month agreed to prepare detailed reports on each of their utility systems, including debts, assets, operating personnel, current rates, gallons per day of water and sewer and any other information pertinent to a possible joint water authority. The purpose of tomorrow’s meeting will be to discuss those reports. Polk and its towns have tried meeting jointly several years ago but could not come to a consensus on how to form the authority. The current elected and appointed officials of the county and towns decided last spring to try meeting again on common issues, and the first meeting was held this past June. Initial discussions quickly turned to joining efforts on water again.

Polk Schools seeks deal with ICC for virtual early college by John Clayton

Budget cuts at the state level continue to adversely effect Polk County Schools. When the iSchool at UNC Greensboro got the funding axe this past summer, Polk County Schools administrators were left scrambling in an attempt to fill the void for their virtual college program, resulting in an impromptu partnership with Isothermal Community College in Spindale and its Polk County campus. The virtual college program allows high school students to take college-level courses online. Through the program, students can receive up to two years of college credit free of charge before they graduate from high school. The new partnership with ICC and its Polk County campus met approval from the Polk County Schools Board of Education at its last meeting. Board members approved a “memorandum of understanding” that would allow Polk County Schools and ICC administrators to hash out an agreement to continue the virtual college with classes offered through ICC. That agreement must receive final approval from the local school board, the ICC Board of Trustees, the state board of education, the state board of community colleges and the state board of higher education. “There’s some bureaucracy to go through but when we get approval, it’ll be a matter of us sitting down with Isothermal and seeing what courses our students in the virtual early college program can be taking advantage of,” said Polk County Schools Superintendent Bill Miller. The state cut funding of the iSchool at UNC Greensboro this past summer, leaving virtual early college students at PCHS and staff members scrambling to fill their schedules. “It really put our students

If all goes according to plan, “You take a program that’s the new partnership with ICC years in the making and, boom, will also be up and running by it’s gone. the spring semester. “It’d taken us years to get all “It hurt us because we’d advised these students and told their that in place with the iSchool,” parents that this would be avail- Miller said. “Now, we’re looking at putting able for them something and now they’re similar towondering what “[State cuts of the gether in just to do.” iSchool at UNC a few months PCHS stuwith ICC. dents were able Greensboro] really put “We want to choose from our students and the to have it go22 different staff at the high school ing by the seccourse offerond semester, ings through in a tough spot .” -- Polk Schools Supt.

working agreement for the early virtual college go more smoothly. ICC’s college English course is taught on the PCHS campus and Polk County Schools faculty members are teaching webdesign courses at ICC. PCHS students can also take vocational-related courses at ICC, including welding, cosmetology and criminal justice. Miller said he hopes the new agreement to offer the district’s virtual early college program through ICC will be beneficial for the school and its Polk County campus. “I hope it’s going to be a benefit for them,” Miller said. “We’ve got a lot of good students in the virtual early college and with the right courses and the right setup I’d like to hope it that it would be good for them. I hope it’s not just a one-way street for us.”

Troxler encourages farmers to have corn tested for aflatoxin Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler is encouraging farmers to have their corn tested for aflatoxin to prevent contamination of feeds and food. Aflatoxin is a byproduct of the mold Aspergillus flavus, and can be harmful to both humans and livestock. “It’s worth a farmer’s time and effort to have their corn tested,” Troxler said. Some farmers may need to have corn samples tested for crop insurance purposes. These samples must be submitted by an insurance adjuster to a grain marketing location certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The tests cost $22.20. Corn samples may also be graded at these locations. Insurance adjusters should send a 5-pound sample of shelled corn by mail, UPS or FedEx to one of the following USDA-certified grain marketing locations: Cargill Soybean Plant; Attn: Ben Honeycutt; 1400 S. Blount St.; Raleigh, N.C. 27601; (919) 733-4491; Grain Grading Office; Attn: Judy Grimes; 407-G Griffin St.; Elizabeth City, N.C. 27909; (252) 337-9782 Aflatoxin tests for feeding purposes are free and will be conducted at the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Constable Laboratory, 4000 Reedy Creek Road in Raleigh. This laboratory is not on the Risk Management Agency’s approved testing facility list; therefore, results from this location will not be accepted for insurance claims. Farmers may drop off 5-pound samples of shelled corn at the lab or at one of the following agricultural research stations:

• Border Belt Tobacco Research Station, 86 Border Belt Drive, Whiteville, (910) 648-4703; Lloyd Ransom, interim superintendent. • Peanut Belt Tobacco Research Station, 112 Research Station Lane, Lewiston-Woodville, (252) 348-2213; Tommy Corbett, superintendent; station contact is Margaret Pierce. • Tidewater Research Station, 207 Research Station Road, Plymouth, (252) 793-4118; Jewell Tetterton, superintendent. • Lower Coastal Plain Tobacco/ Cunningham Research Station, 200 Cunningham Road, Kinston, (252) 527-3579; Phillip Winslow, superintendent. • Piedmont Research Station, 8350 Sherrills Ford Road, Salisbury, (704) 278-2624; Joe Hampton, superintendent. • Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station, 74 Research Drive, Fletcher, (828) 684-7197; Denny Thompson, superintendent. Forms for submitting samples will be available at collection sites. Samples also may be mailed directly to the lab at the following address: N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services; Food and Drug Protection Division; 1070 Mail Service Center; Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1070. For additional information about the aflatoxin testing program, contact Jennifer Godwin or Michelle Gilliam at the NCDA&CS Food and Drug Protection Division, 919733-7366. – article submitted

Columbus Lions brought vision van to Green Creek Heritage Festival The Columbus Lions brought the North Carolina Lions “21st Century Vision Van” to the Green Creek Heritage Festival again this year. This half-million-dollar customized bus is equipped as an optical test lab to offer comprehensive vision screening when staffed by both Lions and medical professionals, all of whom volunteer their time. Dr. Thomas Perraut and staff members Sharon Capps, Dawn McCullough, and Wanda Wofford of Blue Ridge Laser Eye Associates in Columbus were on board this year. Dozens of people were screened and 30 percent of them were referred for further

attention by a medical professional. Some had never before had an eye exam. These results indicate the value of this public service, and the Lions said they appreciated the cooperation of the Green Creek Festival to make the van available to a large number of people. Seventeen Columbus Lions and a prospective member of the club devoted a total of 81 hours and drove 511 miles to bring the vision van to the festival. Participating Lions were Barbara Batchler, Lee Berry, Louise Cochran, Lisa Epley, Fran and Garland Goodwin (vision van chairman), Dave Graham, Chuck

and Dee Huneycutt, Jim and Jo Ann Kearney, Yoshi Kinoshita, Roger Newman, Pat Recker, Jim Sauer, Frank Smith, and Helen Trevathan. Jane Torres also assisted. Lions are recognized worldwide for their service to the blind and visually impaired. Columbus Lions take pride in helping to reach the goal of eliminating all preventable blindness, and appreciate the local contributions that enable them to bring the vision van here. For more information about the Columbus Lions, call president Fran Goodwin at 828-894-2505. – article submitted

‘Being an American’ essay contest announced Students, teachers compete for cash prizes, trips to D.C. U.S. high school students and their teachers are invited to compete for nearly $115,000 in prize money by participating in the Bill of Rights Institute’s fifth annual Being an American Essay Contest. Top prize winners and their teachers will also receive all-expenses paid trips to the nation’s capital. The largest high school essay contest in the country, awarding 180 students and teachers with cash prizes and attracting more than 50,000 essays last year, this contest explores the rights and responsibilities of American citizenship. wwwThe contest is administered by the Bill of Rights Institute,a non-profit educational organization in the Washington, D.C., area devoted to educating children about the Constitution and founding principles. The sponsors include the History Channel and the Stuart Family Foundation. “This contest is unique in that it gives students the opportunity to think about the important civic values communicated in our founding documents, and embodied by American civic heroes,” said Dr. Jason Ross, Bill of Rights Institute vice president of education programs. “This context is vital to helping students see their own acts of good citizenship as a meaningful part of the American experiment of self-government.” Specifically, students are asked to share their thoughts on American citizenship by answering the following question: “What civic value do you believe is most essential to being an American?”

TDBPROMO - page 23

The top three student winners and their teachers from each of the nine geographical regions will be announced at a special Washington, D.C., Awards Gala in the spring of 2011, where they will be awarded cash prizes of $5,000 (first place), $1,000 (second place), and $500 (third place). The winning students will also explore the nation’s capital, meet contemporary American heroes and national leaders, and visit national landmarks. Additionally, the contest will award 126 honorable mention prizes of $100 to seven students and their teachers from each region. “The contest not only honors and awards sponsoring teachers, but also equips them with free lesson plans and other supplemental materials that meet state and national academic standards so they can easily incorporate the essay contest into their classrooms,” said Being an American Essay Contest director John Croft. Nearly 100,000 students have participated in the essay contest since it began in 2006. Now in its fifth year, the contest is the largest high school essay contest in the country. “The Being an American Essay Contest is a wonderful way to awaken students’ interest in the ideas of the American Founding. The Stuart Family Foundation is honored to be one of the Contest’s supporters,” said Stuart Family Foundation Executive Director Truman Anderson. Further information, including submission criteria, complete contest details, lesson plans and background information on the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Founders and other Americans who have contributed to America’s shared civic values, are available at www.BeingAn American.org.
