Billboard for Landrum on I-26 just after the 176 exit traveling west. This billboard was mistakenly covered recently by a new Inman billboard. The Landrum billboard was supposed to be replaced sometime last week.

Landrum’s I-26 billboard replaced accidentally by Leah Justice

Local residents driving west on I-26 may have noticed in the last week that Landrum’s billboard is missing. The city’s billboard, which says, “There’s more to do in Landrum,” was mistakenly covered up with an Inman billboard sometime last week. The new billboard was supposed to have replaced the existing Inman billboard east of Landrum’s. Landrum City Council discussed the mistake made by

the billboard company, Fairway Advertising, during a meeting Tuesday. City administrator Steve Wolochowicz told council he plans to negotiate some free service from Fairway once the billboard is replaced. The billboard was supposed to be re-instated sometime this week. Landrum Mayor Bob Briggs said he noticed last Thursday evening that the billboard’s light was out, then on Saturday the billboard was gone.

Council also discussed Tues- to display the billboard. The billday how to advertise for the city’s board, which was put up in April, Christmas stroll this year.

Let’s send a NEW voice to Raleigh. As a husband and father who works in the private sector, I know the importance of good jobs and schools for working families. I’ll help local businesses and civic leaders grow new jobs. I’ll work with local school districts and community colleges to ensure our workforce is positioned for success. We’ll put an end to forced annexation and help Polk County maintain its farms and rural/small-town character.

Statistics prove that one in eight women will develop breast cancer. Will you be the one? In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, St. Luke’s Hospital is sponsoring free breast exams. Our goal is to screen women who do not have the opportunity to be screened otherwise. Women with no insurance or who do not have a regular doctor are perfect candidates. Dr. Celeste Wiltse and Dr. Sandra McCormack will provide the breast exams and will be available for any questions. Tours, information on mammography and referrals for a mammogram will be available.

• Polio

(continued from page 1)

particularly important to the Rotarians as Rotary International adopted its Polioplus project about 20 years ago with the goal of eradicating the disease throughout the entire world by providing the necessary funding to administer vaccine to prevent the disease. Polioplus history Rotary’s war on polio began in 1979 with a commitment to buy and help deliver vaccine to six million children in the Philippines. Its success spurred the planning of the most ambitious program in Rotary's history: the immunization of all the worlds’ children against polio. By 1985 Rotary had forged a global strategy: to establish partnerships with health agencies and national health ministries; to raise money to buy vaccine; to enlist 1 million Rotarians to deliver the vaccine to more than 100 million children born each year in developing countries. Polioplus has been very successful, Rotary officials say. At present polio has been eradicated from all but four countries. Tryon club's support The Rotary Club of Tryon gave $4,000 to the Polioplus effort in 2009. In addition, in its continuing support of Rotary’s worldwide effort to eradicate polio, the Tryon Club is providing educational pro-

grams about polio as well as raising money in 2010-11. At a recent meeting, Joanne Alderman spoke about her experiences with polio, including late effects which experts estimate may affect 55 percent of an estimated 775,000 polio survivors in the United States. These late effects can include new muscle weakness, new fatigue and/or new pain. Rotarian Diane McEntee also attended that meeting. She is a retired nurse and polio survivor. In 1952, Diane was one of 58,000 afflicted with polio (short for poliomyelitis) during the largest epidemic in the United States. One day she was an active five year old; the next day on her sixth birthday she was quarantined at Los Angeles County General Hospital, unable to walk. Fortunately the Salk vaccine became available to the public in 1955, soon followed by the oral Sabin vaccine. During years of rehabilitation which included bracing, corrective surgeries, intensive physical therapy and episodic homeschooling, she finally attained a degree of normalcy and independence in her life and says she is thankful for the resources made available to her. Since then McEntee has enjoyed marriage, motherhood, and 39 years as a registered nurse. Attending two past international polio conferences in the 80s in St. Louis exposed her to accomplished, pro(Continued on page 6)

The Landrum Fire Department was recently given a few monetary gifts that enabled the department to almost completely pay for a “gator” four-wheeldrive vehicle. The used gator was recently purchased with a $10,000 anonymous donation, another $1,000 donation and the possibility of getting another $4,000 grant. The total cost for the gator, including upfitting, was $16,000. Landrum Fire Chief Jimmy Flynn displayed the gator during a city council meeting last week

Experiencing the late effects of polio (post-polio syndrome) over the past several years has been a new challenge to which she is adapting by adjusting her lifestyle. Taking an early retirement, frequent rest periods, and using a cane and sometimes a walker for distances, she remains active. She says she hopes that “putting a face” to polio will encourage people to learn more about it, the late effects, and support the

Officials decided to send out a letter in recent years asking for donations to help with the purchase, which resulted in the $10,000 and $1,000 gifts. The gator includes a 75-gallon water tank and is equipped to transport both sick and injured persons from rugged terrain. The vehicle is in service now with the department. Rotary’s efforts.

Cast list announced for PCHS’ ‘Dearly Beloved’ The PC Players recently announced the cast list for their fall comedy, “Dearly Beloved.” The comedy follows the wedding preparations of the Futrell sisters – Honey Raye (played by junior Ciera Wilson), Twink (played by junior Allie Clayton), and Frankie (played by senior Sarah Costine). Frankie has almost made herself sick with elaborate wedding preparations for her daughter Tina Jo’s antebellum-inspired wedding. Tina Jo and her twin sister, Gina Jo, will be played by freshman India Thomas. Frankie’s long

suffering husband, Dub Dubberly, will be played by senior Logan Byrd. Dub’s best friend and local law enforcement officer, John Curtis Buntner, will be played by junior Jake Johnson. Miss Geneva, the wedding coordinator who also runs the florist and the town bus depot, will be played by junior Savannah Callahan. Twink Futrell, after having her palm read by the town seer, Nelda Lightfoot (played by junior Taylor Metcalf), has to coerce longtime boyfriend Wiley Hicks (played by David Tousey)

to witness the impending nuptials thereby ensuring her engagement to Mr. Hicks. A future mother-in-law determined to stop the marriage (played by junior Hope Sams) and an unwitting UPS delivery man called upon to perform the ceremony (played by junior Timothy Bame) add to the evening’s hilarity. The comedy plays Friday and Saturday, November 19 and 20, at 7:30 p.m. in the school auditorium. – article submitted

Letter to the Editor

A few inconsistencies with article To the Editor: Congratulations to BettyRamsey on her new role as the president and publisher of the Tryon Daily Bulletin. Those of us who live here in Tryon look to this publication to provide us with information regarding the activities and events surrounding this wonderful community. We are looking forward to the continuance of that tradition under this new leadership. The recent article on the Tryon Country Club seeking a place on the National Historic Registry was particularly interesting because the development of the country club represents what is best about this small community. However, there are a few inconsistencies in the article which need to be addressed. Unfortunately I did not get an opportunity to speak with the author so I was not able to clarify these points prior to publication. But, it would be very misleading to let the reader think our application is now in the hands of the U.S. Department of the Interior. We are working with the Western Office of the State Archives and History, Historic Preservation Office. Once that office is satisfied that all is in order, the application is submitted to the State Historic Preservation office in Raleigh, and if the review is successful there, it would be then

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

sent to the U.S. Department of the Interior. A minor detail which should be corrected is that the pro shop is not considered part of the application for nomination. It did not meet the criteria. But the most important item which needs explanation is in reference to the golf course itself. Emma Payne Erskine promoted the idea of a golf course on the land she owned, and she hired Donald Ross to design a nine hole course. Nine holes are all that would fit on the land she intended to use for the golf course. We have not found any documentation to support the statement that Donald Ross designed 18 holes. The formation of the Tryon Country Club came after the land was cleared and the land had been platted as a nine hole course. The course was then constructed under the leadership of Robert A (Burt) Leonard, who subsequently became the first pro. But, what makes this application different is that Emma Payne Erskine gave the land to the Tryon Country Club, the town of Tryon contributed men and equipment to assist in the construction of the course, and the Tryon Country Club hired Burt Leonard to build the course that Ross had designed. That kind of cooperation between various interest groups was critical to the success of the project and thus makes this attempt at a National Register Nomination so special. I appreciate the opportunity to set the record straight. – Jane Templeton

Hendersonville Little Theatre presents ‘Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde’ “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde,” a drama adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher (author of many plays... most notably the stage version of “Tuesdays With Morrie”) – from the novella “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson will be presented at the Hendersonville Little Theatre. A new and shocking version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of depravity, lust, love and horror. On the fog-bound 2x4.5 streets of Victorian-era London, filler Jekyll’s experiments with Henry exotic powders and tinctures have brought forth his other self – Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interest, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. But Hyde has other ideas, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his slave. With multiple Hydes portrayed by several members of the cast. Once again HLT has selected

St. Luke’s Hospital offers free breast exams October 21

MOSL-039042

Here in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, our senses are awakened with the brilliant colors of fall – burnt orange, crisp yellow, earthy brown, soft pink. Pink? Yes, even pink heralds October, now widely known as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). A movement designed to bring awareness to the prevention and detection of breast cancer, NBCAM has reached millions of individuals as hundreds of businesses, hospitals and physicians’ offices have joined the fight to unite us all in the cause. The Pink Ribbon symbolizes hope for the cure for a cancer that is now the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 40 and 55. But women are not the only victims of breast cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 1,990 men are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer and 480 are predicted to die. Consider this: every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. One in eight women will develop breast cancer, and more than 207,000 new cases of breast cancer are expected. Right here in the state of North Carolina, it is estimated there will be more than 6,000 new breast cancer cases this year; of those, more than 1,000 are

reach women who don’t see a physician regularly. Spaces are limited and appointments are necessary. Call 828-894-2408 to schedule an appointment. St. Luke’s Hospital uses digital mammography to detect cancer early. St. Luke’s Radiology Department is using the latest technology available to help find breast cancer as early as possible. A mammogram is an x-ray of the breasts used to screen for breast problems, such as a lump. Both film-based and digital mammography use compression and x-rays to create clear images of the inside of the breast. During all mammograms, the technologist positions the breast at different angles and compresses it with a paddle. Mammograms are very safe, using low doses of radiation to produce high-quality images. Although compressing breast tissue can be uncomfortable, St. Luke’s Hospital provides a softer mammogram by using a foam mammo-pad with each mammogram. Digital mammography was developed for many important reasons. The system transfers images to a computer so they can be electronically enhanced. Your doctor can zoom in, magnify and optimize different parts of the breast tissue using just four standard pictures. To schedule your annual mammogram, call St. Luke’s Radiology Department at 828-894-3525 ext. 3590. – article submitted

Steps to HOPE brings awareness to the issue of domestic violence in October

Editor’s Note: In recognition of October, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Steps to HOPE has submitted the following to bring awareness to the issue of domestic violence. To My Abuser, I am still very frightened of you; I still have nightmares. But it’s different for me now: since I found the strength to leave you, I have been finding my own way and restoring my confidence and

self-esteem. I will go through whatever legal process is necessary to keep you away. I am learning what I need to do in order to be safe. I know will never suffer at the hands of an abuser again. I can only hope you might participate in a Domestic Abuse Intervention Program to keep you from abusing someone else. With the assistance provided by Steps to Hope, I am beginning to rebuild my life. Nothing is more

important to me than the security of knowing I can sleep each night free from the fear of an abusive tomorrow. Though I couldn’t imagine it weeks ago, I can now see light at the end of that dark tunnel. Not only am I safe, I am truly alive. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault, we can help. Call Steps to HOPE at 828-894-2340, 24-hours a day. – article submitted

If you think politics in South Carolina are a laughing matter, wait until you see Capitol Steps at the Chapman Cultural Center on Thursday, October 21, at 7 p.m. in the David Reid Theatre. This troupe of Washington, D.C.,based singing comedians return to Spartanburg in the venue’s fourth season to once again insult, parody, impersonate, and generally poke fun at all things political. No one or no issue is off limits, as Democrats, Republicans and Tea Partiers all take their turn as the butt of tonguein-cheek jokes. “We put the mock in Democracy,” is one of their favorite slogans. The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers, who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom (“Don’t quit your day job!”), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of 18 Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff

experience. Since they began in 1981, the Capitol Steps have recorded over 30 albums, including their latest, “Liberal Shop of Horrors” and “Barackin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” They’ve been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and can be heard four times a year on National Public Radio stations nationwide during their “Politics Takes a Holiday” radio specials. Ronald Reagan was president when the Steps began, so co-founders Elaina Newport, Bill Strauss and Jim Aidala figured that if entertainers could become politicians, then politicians could become entertainers! Their first idea was to stage a nativity play, but in the whole Congress they couldn’t find three wise men or a virgin! So, they decided to dig into the headlines of the day, and created song parodies and skits, which conveyed a special brand of satirical humor that was as popular in Peoria as it was on Pennsylvania Avenue. Most cast members have worked on Capitol Hill; some for Democrats, some for Republicans, and others for politicians who firmly straddle the

fence. No matter who holds office, there’s never a shortage of material. Says Elaina Newport, “Typically the Republicans goof up, and the Democrats party. Then the Democrats goof up and the Republicans party. That’s what we call the two-party system.” The material is updated constantly. Current examples include the Democrats’ plan to defeat the deficit (“Return to Spenders”) and some thoughts for health care reform (“Cash for Codgers”). In addition, the Capitol Steps tackle such topics as Tiger Woods (“Fly of the Tiger”) and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford (“Don’t Cry, I’m in Argentina”). But no matter who or what is in the headlines, you can bet the Capitol Steps will tackle both sides of the political spectrum and all things equally foolish. Tickets can be purchased online at ChapmanCulturalCenter.org or by calling 864-542-ARTS. The box office, located in the Chapman Cultural Center at 200 East Saint John Street, Spartanburg, is open Monday through Friday, from 12 until 6 p.m. and on Saturday, from 12 until 4 p.m. – article submitted
