Columbus considers funding options for sewer plant repairs estimated at $2.5M by Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus is currently considering how to fund needed repairs to its wastewater treatment plant. The town discussed the need during its November meeting and reviewed estimates of how much the upgrades could cost. Those estimates indicate

that the total cost would be $2,569,617, although the town will not know exact costs until the project is designed and goes out for bid. The town has a few options, including doing the project in phases or financing the project either through a bank or through the United States Department

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties

of Agriculture (USDA). Town council has expressed concern about a USDA loan, because the loan term is 40 years, which would be the estimated life of the repairs. The plants’s clarifier is the main concern immediately. The (Continued on page 4)

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.

Amanda started to take lessons from a local professional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dressage class and successfully

completed the cross-country course and stadium jumping. They ended up high point!

To Save 30% on your 2010 tax return Did you know that a new wood stove qualifies for a 30% tax credit under the stimulus bill? Until Dec 31st you can take up to $1500 off the bottom line of your 2010 tax return for the cost of buying and installing a qualified wood stove. But don’t wait, this tax credit expires for good at the end of the year. There’s never been a better time to start saving money!

cost of replacing the clarifier is estimated at almost $500,000. Other big ticket items include an estimated $200,000 for bar screen/grit removal, $110,000 for sludge disposal and $160,000 for aeration basin upgrades. Council discussed recently the possibility of paying for the upgrades in phases with money from the town's sewer fund, taking money out of fund balance, financing or a combination of options. The town recently raised water and sewer rates slightly, but the increase in revenue has not yet been determined. “Do you think there’s any way we could make enough money in the sewer department to fund this ourselves without taking it out of fund balance?” council member Margaret Metcalf asked town manager Jonathan Kanipe. Kanipe said he doesn’t know at this point and would be afraid to say yes. Town council took a trip to the town's wastewater treatment plant last month and also visited the Hendersonville treatment plant, which is similar in layout to the Columbus plant and has had recent upgrades. The town has received estimates in the past on combining its system with Tryon and pumping sewage to Tryon’s plant. Columbus determined that those costs were too high, with estimates showing a cost of $6,812,350 to make the modifications needed for Columbus to send its sewage to Tryon. The idea of having Saluda also

send its sewage to Tryon has also been discussed. Total costs with Saluda added in are estimated at more than $11 million. Columbus officials decided then that they would be better off upgrading their own treatment plant. Estimates of costs to build a regional system were more than $19 million for Columbus and Tryon and almost $24 million including Columbus, Saluda and Tryon. Those estimates were done for all three towns in 2009 by McGill & Associates, PA. The town has also received estimates on doing the wastewater treatment plant upgrades as well as upgrading its hospital pump station and getting its fifth well online. The total cost for that project is estimated at $3,541,092. Council’s discussions recently have been focused on doing just the wastewater treatment plants upgrades first. Columbus decided earlier this month to invite Brian Tripp of W.K. Dickson engineers to attend a meeting. Tripp has been working with the town on its wastewater treatment plant upgrade estimates as well as its preliminary engineering report and possible grant funding to complete the preliminary engineering report and the environmental assessment needed for the project. The town decided to ask Tripp to attend a meeting after the first of the year to discuss funding options after it gets its annual audit report from last year’s budget, which it will receive in December. level.

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight candles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews. When the Jews would not worship the pagans, Epiphanes raided and destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. After seven years of fighting, Maccabee regained control, and the Temple was restored. The famous story states that only a small vial of oil was found to light the eternal lamps, yet they were blessed and burned for eight days, giving the Jewish people enough time to acquire more oil for the lamps. The symbolic lighting of the menorah occurs at sundown for the eight days during Hanukkah. Children also trade gifts and play with games and toys, such as a driedel. Special foods, such as fried potato cakes and fried donuts, are served during Hanukkah.

Polk Wolverines’ season ends in Lincolnton by Joey Millwood

the Lincolnton football stadium was symbolic of how the polk County football season would end on Friday night. the stadium was dug in a valley, but was surrounded by tall trees. polk County dealt with a lot of highs and lows throughout the last four quarters of its 2010 season Friday night. the contest ended in a 28-14 loss for polk, but the Wolverines played hard to the finish. The Wolverine defense bent, but didn’t break often, holding the high-scoring Wolves to their playoff low point total. The Wolves struck first in the first half after a big run by quarterback Brandon Wilson. the Wolverines, however, responded in a fashion that head coach Bruce ollis hoped would happen in this game. In the week leading up the game, ollis talked about ball control and keeping the ball out of the hands of the Lincolnton playmakers. The Wolverines’ first drive went 14 plays and six minutes and was finished with a Cody orick three-yard touchdown run. on the next drive, the Wolverines came close to recovering two turnovers in the Wolves redzone as Lincolnton fumbled twice. The Wolves finally punched in a touchdown on a four-yard run by Wilson. the Wolverines were driving again in their second possession, but a fumble shortened the drive on the Wolves’ side of the field. The turnover didn’t produce any points for Lincolnton as a few plays later Juan Hicks blocked a field goal attempt for the Wolverines. the Wolves added one more touchdown just before half

I think we’re capable (of doing that) someday.”

Theatre Project. Since 2006, North Carolina Stage Company and its partner company in residence, Immediate Theatre Project, have been presenting a live stage version of this holiday classic in downtown Asheville. Directed by Charles Flynn McIver, artistic director and co-founder of North Carolina Stage Company, the play stars four local actors who play both the hard-working radio actors as well as their alter-egos from Bedford Falls. Each actor bounces swiftly from character to character, often playing opposite themselves in the same scene. At the same time, the actors produce all of the sound effects live on stage, using old-fashioned techniques and simple household objects. Executive producers Tom and Sue Fazio benefitting the Boys & Girls Club, along with BMW of Asheville present “Live from WVL Radio Theatre: It’s a Wonderful Life” onstage November 19 through December 23 at the historic Henderson County Courthouse.

St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation receives funding support for upgrades St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation is another step closer to bridging a technology gap for the hospital, thanks to the support of the Polk County Community Foundation. With an $18,000 grant from PCCF, the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation can move forward to place additional computers throughout the hospital for better electronic communication that will improve patient care. Meshelle Colvin, executive director of the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation, said the funds will be used to purchase 45 additional desktop computers that will advance patient care through improved efficiency and productivity. It will also move the hospital closer to the goal of implementing Electronic Medical Records (EMR). “Over the past few years, our hospital foundation has been working to fund upgrades in hospital infrastructure, to digitize our diagnostic equipment and enhance the information flow within the hospital,” Colvin said. Approximately

$382,000 has been raised to date for computer technology. “At this time, it would be next to impossible for the hospital to fund these improvements without the support of our foundation,” said Ken Shull, president and chief executive officer of SLH. “Our Information Systems project is a major financial undertaking but absolutely necessary for us to provide state of the art patient care and meet compliance for EMRs as defined by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.” Faced with the task of meeting compliance within tight time parameters, St. Luke’s has undergone a thorough assessment of its Information Systems and supporting equipment, installed fiber optic cable throughout the hospital campus, replaced servers and upgraded service to satellite buildings. Strategic steps also include Computers on Wheels for patient care at the bedside and desktop computers for increased access to technology and information.

“All of these advances have been made possible with funding support from several sources including Polk County Community Foundation,” Colvin said. While many hospitals utilize computer technology to limit errors, improve care and increase efficiency, the challenge now is to extend its use and integrate it into the routine care processes in all hospitals and medical practices, big and small, in both rural and urban areas. St. Luke’s Hospital, both small and rural, is facing this challenge. “We have computer technology; we have digital radiography; we have electronic communication and bedside registration, but we are behind the eight ball when you understand the enormity of what hospitals are facing with EMRs and requirements we must satisfy for Medicare reimbursement,” Shull said. Projected to cost around $2 million, the health information system conversion is under the direction of David Pearson, IT director for St. Luke’s. Pearson has worked closely

David Pearson

with Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS) of Charlotte to evaluate health information systems that will enable CHS regional facilities to use a common platform. “This will be a major focus of our time and investment,” Shull said. “Sure, we have some distance to cover, but we’re on the road to EMRs and integrated technology.” – article submitted

Christmas Eve, after dismissing Cratchit with savage ill humor and locking up for the night, Scrooge is visited by his dead partner’s ghost, who shows him the error of his ways. This year, the Spartanburg Youth Theatre will be doing a special project, meant to impact two vital organizations in our community, The Children’s Advocacy Center and the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen. “We are asking our audience members to ‘Share the Warmth – Don’t be a Scrooge,’” says Jay Coffman, Spartanburg Little Theatre’s executive artistic director. “Audience members can bring socks, hats, mittens, scarves, coats, and

blankets to be donated to the Spartanburg Community during the holiday season.” This play is the second in a four show production season for the Spartanburg Youth! Theatre, to be followed by Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse and Sleeping Beauty. Performance dates are December 3 at 4:30 and 7 p.m. and December 4 at 2 and 7 p.m. All performances take place at the David W. Reid Theatre in the Chapman Cultural Center. Tickets can be purchased by calling 864-542-2787. Call the Youth! Theatre office at 864-585-8278 for more information. – article submitted

Spartanburg Youth! Theatre presents ‘A Christmas Carol’ Spartanburg Youth! Theatre announces its second production of the 2010-2011 season, “A Christmas Carol” on December 3 at 4:30 and 7 p.m. and December 4 at 2 and 7 p.m.. “‘A Christmas Carol’ has become as much a part of Christmas as holly and bows, and is certainly full of lessons that are good for everyone to hear,” says Steven Suits, director of “A Christmas Carol.” The Cratchit family, preparing for a hearty Christmas in spite of their poverty, are dismayed to learn that their father will have to work on Christmas Day. Mr. Cratchit’s employer, Mr. Scrooge, is mean and miserly. On
