Holt reaches journey's end Editor's note: Matt Holt of Polk County, who has spent much of the last seven months hiking the Appalachian Trail to raise funds for the nonprofit organization Walking for Art, has shared thoughts with Bulletin readers during his journey. by Matt Holt The following is his submission, sent after he reached the northern end of the trail in Maine. On Oct. 6, the greatest journey of my life ended. It began some seven months before at Springer Mountain, GA, and ended Oct. 6 at Mt. Katahdin in central Maine. I have now had the time to digest and reflect on the experience, which to date tested me more than any other challenge I have endured. My walk from Georgia to Maine

Outreach asks Thwing to retire New director named by Leah Justice
Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry’s (TBOM) board of directors asked Executive Director Eloise Thwing to resign last week.

Newton will succeed Thwing as executive director on Jan. 1, according to the press release (see release pg. 6). Thwing, 90, has been the executive director since Outreach’s

inception and was part of the original group of women from area churches who envisioned the organization. She is referred to by community members as the founder of Outreach, but Thwing has never accepted sole credit for the title. In February, the organization will celebrate 20 years of helping Polk residents in need of assistance. Board of director members met with the Bulletin on Dec. 1 and said Thwing’s retirement was necessary for both Thwing and Outreach. “It’s agonizing for us,” said board member Joe Epley. “What was done was trying to do what’s best for Eloise and the community. The staff has accepted the decision and of course, they all love Eloise as we do.”
Thwing said before the Nov. 23 Outreach board of director’s meeting, she was taken to the Columbus Methodist Church, where she was greeted by board of director president Diana Winkler, vice-president Dorcas Epley and secretary/treasurer Bob Morgan, all members of the executive committee. Thwing said she was then told the board had hired a COO who was to begin work on Dec.1. The board also informed her that her last day of employment would be Dec. 31. Thwing said she was offered a severance package, but declined. The committee then took Thwing to the board of director’s meeting being held at Stearns Education Center, where Minkler made an announcement to the board that Thwing was retiring, Thwing said this week. Thwing has been placed on medical leave by her doctor
since the announcement and said she is not sure she will be able to return to Outreach by the Dec. 31 retirement date. Thwing said she does not remember what precise terms were discussed at the board meeting because she was in such shock at what the executive committee had just done. She admits she probably agreed to accept the retirement, in an effort to present herself in a professional manner, and because of her love of Outreach. Thwing said part of her shock over the situation is the result of a discussion she had with the board in July of this year, when she was told the board was seeking grants to add a COO position, but that the new position would be directed by Thwing and wouldn’t be a replacement. “I want the community to know how much I still love them and thank them for their

support over the last 20 years,” Thwing said. “TBOM would not exist today without their support. I’d especially like to thank all the volunteers and staff who have supported me over the years.” Thwing said she has no plans for the future as TBOM has (Continued on page 4)

Editor's note: Following is a resolution approved unanimously on Nov. 23 by the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry board of directors in recognition of executive director Eloise Thwing’s many years of service. Whereas, twenty years ago, Eloise Thwing founded Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry and created a legacy of compassion and dedication to serving the needy within Polk County; and Whereas, Eloise Thwing has served as executive director of Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry since its inception; and Whereas, the vision of Eloise Thwing for a viable community wide organization providing food and comfort to people within Polk County who are lacking in the basic necessities of life has come to past with the creation of Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry; and Whereas, as a result of Elo-
ise Thwing’s efforts, churches, individuals and organizations within Polk County now give hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of volunteer hours to support the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry mission; and Whereas, Eloise Thwing has expressed a desire to retire by December 31, 2010 and work cooperatively with the transition of a new executive director; Now therefore be it resolved that the board of directors of Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry grant Eloise Thwing her retirement request, extend heartfelt appreciation and admiration for the many contributions Eloise Thwing made in creating and growing Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry, and develop a lasting public recognition that honors Eloise Thwing for her unselfish service and compassionate legacy of ministry to those in need.

Polk was one of 16 North Carolina counties whose jobless rate stayed the same between September and October. In 18 counties, the rate increased,

The state showed a labor force in the county of 9,308 in October with 8,650 employed and 658 unemployed. Statewide, the average unemployment rate was 9.6 percent in October, down from 9.7 percent in September. ESC Chairman Lynn R. Holes says statewide, conditions remain challenging. “Over the year, we have seen unemployment rates decline in 90 counties. However, one third of the counties had rates greater than 10 percent in October,” Holes said. “We continue to face economic challenges with respect to job growth, but we at ESC continue to assist those looking for work and those who qualify for unemployment benefits.” Scotland County had the highest unemployment rate in North Carolina in October at 14.7 percent, while Currituck County had the lowest at 4.9 percent. In South Carolina, the unemployed rate dropped 0.3 percent in October to 10.7 percent from September’s 11 percent. Spartanburg County’s jobless rate dropped from 10.8 percent in September to 10.4 percent in October, while the rate dropped in Greenville County from 8.9 to 8.7 percent. The highest rate in the state was 17.8 percent in Marion County. The lowest was 7.6 percent in Lexington County.

Offshore oil drilling banned along Carolinas Visit our new Website!

to reach 20 percent by 2015. Some private companies, such as Apex Wind Energy, already have applied for exploratory leases for wind turbines off the N.C. coast. The company said it could use more than 500 turbines to generate enough power for 550,000 homes. The National Wildlife Federation says North Carolina could generate about 56 “economically viable” gigawatts in shallow waters, while South Carolina is next with 34.3 viable gigawatts. According to the federation, about six gigawatts of offshore wind projects have been proposed so far along the Atlantic coast, enough to power about 1.5 million U.S. homes. Dennis Scanlin of the Appalachian State University wind center is urging state officials to also consider the wind resources in North Carolina’s mountains. He said it’s much cheaper to set up turbines in the mountains than in the ocean, and the state has many miles of ridgelines.
Around the Region
*** Many areas in Western North Carolina are recovering from storms that dropped around 8 inches of rain in some areas and caused flooding along some rivers and streams. Rosman received 8.5 inches of rain and Lake Toxaway had 7.63 inches, according to the National Weather Service. Close to 7 inches fell near Hendersonville, while the Asheville Regional Airport recorded more than 4 inches. Some roads, including those near the French Broad River, were closed by flooding, and some structures were damaged by mudslides. The French Broad was expected to crest yesterday at about 19.5 feet, 3.5 feet above flood stage. *** (Continued on page 11)

North Carolinians have the third highest average total of credit card debt, according to TransUnion’s analysis of third-quarter figures. The credit and information management agency said Tar Heel state residents have an average of $5,640 of credit card debt, following only Alaska at $7,159 and Hawaii at $5,716. The analysis noted, though, that North Carolinians are below the national average for delinquencies. Only 0.78 percent of North Carolina residents were 90 or more days delinquent, compared to a national rate of 0.83 percent. Delinquency rates were much higher in Nevada (1.28 percent) and Florida (1.09 percent). Nationally, TransUnion reports that credit card delinquencies were down 24.6 percent in the third quarter compared to the same period a year ago. *** Home values slipped in the Asheville and Charlotte areas in September, according to the latest
housing market reports. Values were down 3.7 percent in Charlotte and 5.26 percent in Asheville compared to September 2009. Asheville and Charlotte initially performed better than other areas of the country hit by real estate market declines, but both cities fared worse than the national average in September. For the 12-month period ending in September, Charlotte was well below the average 0.6 percent gain in home values for the 20 markets in the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. Asheville was ranked 254th out of 299 metro areas for price performance over the 12-month period. Some realtors in the Asheville area said they believe the market has stabilized, while others said it’s still declining there. Scott Raines of Keller Williams Realty in Asheville said about 10.5 percent of homes on the market there are under contract, well below a normal level of about 25 to 30 percent.
*** The Preservation Trust of Spartanburg is closing its doors after working for more than a decade to preserve some of the city’s oldest homes and buildings. The organization, started with funds from the City of Spartanburg and the Mary Black, Spartanburg County and Mary Reynolds Babcock foundations, was instrumental in stabilizing the neighborhoods of Hampton Heights and Carlisle Street. The board of directors for the nonprofit organization said it struggled with the decision to close, but the Trust could not “make it work anymore” financially. The Trust used its funds to buy and restore homes, but it’s struggled to sell homes in the current housing market. *** N.C. Senator Tom Apodaca said the state legislature will have to consider various cuts to the education budget, including mergers in

areas such as Asheville where the county and city operate separate school districts. Apodaca said it’s not fair to places such as Polk or Henderson county, which previously merged county and city systems, to keep both the Buncombe County and Asheville city school districts. If such areas want to keep separate districts, he said, they will have to find ways to fund them. Apodaca shared his views in an interview with the Asheville Citizen Times about plans for the upcoming legislative session. Republicans control both the N.C. House and Senate for the first time in more than a century. Apodaca said he expects the general assembly will also work to limit municipalities’ annexation powers and require voters to present identification. *** Shaw Power Group plans to add 225 jobs to its operation in Charlotte, which it says “has become our nation’s new energy capital.” The new engineering (Continued on page 12)

ers. The new manufacturing facility will be located within the South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center. *** Adex Machining Technologies of Greenville, S.C. recently landed a contract to develop airplane engine components for GE Aviation. Adex CEO Jason Premo says he expects the deal, valued at about $1 million annually, will lead to additional contracts with GE, as well as other manufacturers, such as Boeing and Airbus SAS. Premo said his company, which specializes in applications requiring exotic alloys and “challenging designs and tolerances,” already is planning a new manufacturing facility. Since 2007, Apex has grown from a $2 to $10 million company. *** The Peace Center in Greenville has raised more than half of the $21.5 million needed to revitalize the 20-year-old performance venue. The fundraising includes a $5 million pledge by the Peace family. The renovation would modernize the center and make it more pedestrian friendly. Plans call for a grand plaza at the front of the theaters and a new outdoor elevator connected to a redesigned lower campus along the Reedy River. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2011. The campus will be tied into the nearby Falls Park, and the Huguenot Mill along the river will be redesigned with classrooms and event spaces to encourage more community use.

jobs are needed after Shaw signed a deal to be the engineering, procurement and construction contractor for Toshiba Corporation’s new nuclear plants. Shaw, which currently employs about 1,100 in Charlotte, set up an operation in Charlotte earlier this decade after it was hired to design Duke Energy’s power plants. *** A diesel engine plant is coming to Aiken, SC, thanks to $65 million in federal stimulus money. MTU Detroit Diesel said it will use bonds supported by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for tooling and equipment. The company plans to invest $45 million and create 250 jobs at the Aiken plant over the next four years. *** Google is expanding its data center campus in Berkeley County near Charleston, SC. The company built two largest warehouse buildings on a 500-acre site in 2008, but only used one of them initially. Now the company plans to expand into the second building due to increased demand for data storage associated with Gmail messages, Picasa photographs, Google Maps and other services. *** Coast Sign Inc. plans to create 135 new jobs when it completes a $2.4 million facility in Greenville County.

The fog from nearby Lake Hartwell lifted just in time for the sun to warm the scene at the Butch Kennedy Trailhead for the sixth Western Carolina Hunter Pace & Trail Ride Series on Saturday, Nov. 20. Participants rode through the thousands of acres of the Clemson Experimental Forest’s Fants Grove Trails. The forest is a working classroom for Clemson University. Along the way riders passed over many stout wooden horse bridges and through a few tiny creeks. The trail also passed near a stand of Moso bamboo, next to a natural stand of loblolly pines and other agricultural sites. The Clemson Eventing Team members, clad in purple and orange team shirts were in attendance at all the tarmac road crossings. The team also had an assortment of homemade baked goodies for sale at the end of the ride. Eventing members included at check in: Elisa Willems and Lauren Turner; timers: Hannah Gersbach and Catherine Wieters; bake sale table: Bethany Vawter; road crossings: Rachel Owens, Kori Manson, Maggie Cox, CrEditor's notiCE Having qualified on the 15th day of November, 2010, as Executor of the Estate of GErtrudE M.

Instead of ribbons the team acquired a number of donated prizes and gifts for those placing. The field hunter trail used about 11 miles of the forest. The pace rider covered the trail in a blistering 1 hour 45 minutes and 20 seconds. Closest to the optimum time were first place finishers Baiba Bourbeau of Tryon and Beatrice Lamb from Columbus, who were 21 minutes, five seconds off the pace. Second place went to Thomas Pluemper of Pelzer, SC, who was right behind with a ride time of two hours, seven minutes, 48 seconds. The team of Jerry and Megan Alexander, Cammy Clifton and Makenzie Reynolds from Forest City were third at 22 minutes, 30 seconds off optimum. Columbus residents Rhonda Lewis and Peter Shanahan came in fourth with a time that was 24 minutes, 31 seconds off the pace. Riding in her first Western Carolina Hunter Pace, Kelsey Dickman of York came in fifth at 25 minutes, 6 seconds off the pace. Rounding out the awards in sixth place were Tryon residents Duane and Harlene Harm, who were 36 minutes, 40 seconds off the pace. The trail riders were able to experience about seven miles of the Clemson trails. The calculated optimum time was 2 hours 12 minutes and 53 seconds. Linda Farris and Wayne Farris from York took first with a time that was only 47 seconds off the pace. (Continued on page 16)

“Contemporary Color” is the latest exhibit to be held in The Gallery at Tryon Arts and Crafts. The community is invited to view the collection and attend the upcoming artists’ reception on Saturday, December 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Tryon Arts and Crafts located at 373 Harmon Field Road. This show is a group of work from four female artists in multiple styles and media. The exhibiting artists are Kay Larch, Pat Lorenz, Jeannette Schmeichel and Suzanne Vitti. While their styles vary drastically, all four artists use a bold palette and unique design elements in their medium of choice. The artists bring together traditional methods and media, while creating quite modern works of art. Kay Larch, a mixed-media artist and painter, grew up in Huntington Beach, CA. She currently lives in Greenville, SC, where she shares a studio space with two other artists. Larch says she has always been drawn to mosaics and has been fascinated by this ancient art form. Blending mosaic styles with her own acrylic painting was, according to her, “a

natural path for me to take.” Using color from water based paints and a glassy texture achieved through layers of lacquer, Larch has developed her own style and technique that she refers to as “painted mosaics.” Pat Lorenz has always had a love for accessories and her passion has grown through the years and now clearly shows up in all of her “wearable works of art.” Lorenz says she is “drawn to a mix of old and new, antique and abstract, vibrant colors and unusual textures” and her focus is on color, pattern and design. Lorenz studied at the Fashion Institute in Atlanta, learning about design concepts and gaining an understanding of style trends. She now works in the architect and design community which continue to inspire her work. Lorenz creates one-of-a-kind wearable art pieces ranging from knitted scarves to beaded necklaces. She says her inspirations are, “forever changing and always one-of-a-kind” and that is why she feels the need to “make

Looking for truth in the wrong places Several weeks ago was American Crafts Week. Heartwood Gallery hosted a reception at the Saluda Center featuring four local artists, with a talk by Stoney Lamar about contemporary arts and crafts. Stoney is a woodturner whose work has evolved over the years from simple functional bowls to works of art. Stoney spoke of his life working with wood. Two of his statements have stuck with me. One is that working with his hands and the lathe has prepared him for physical challenges facing him today. The second statement was that trees have taught him most everything that he needs to know. Being a person with great respect for trees, that comment is the one that I have thought about very often since that evening. Two weeks later Allen and I had dinner with Verne Dawson and his wife Laura.Verne is an artist and Laura works for the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Laura had just come back from an art trip to South Korea, where there is a rapidly growing upper class with the financial means to invest in art, especially modern art. One of the aspects of the trip that fascinated Laura had nothing to do with art; it was learning that, in South Korea, one fourth of the population is Buddhist, one fourth Christian, and one half animist.
Conservation Corner Betsy Burdett
Now, I don’t know about you, but I had not heard the word ‘animist’ in years, if ever. Animism is a religious or spiritual idea that souls or spirits exist not only in humans but also in animals, plants, rocks, natural phenomena such as thunder, geographic features such as mountains or rivers, or other entities of the natural environment. Throughout the South Korean countryside Laura saw shrines and effigies to specific animals where people stopped to pray in hopes of filling certain needs. I can’t say that I am likely to start praying to an animal or tree even though I have great respect for animals, but I may just sit under a tree for a while and ponder the possibilities. The present political climate has caused unimaginable distrust of our institutions, our society, and our fellow man. We are told lies and half truths, with the warning that if we don’t believe the lies then we’re unAmerican and un-Christian. I realize that these lies are being told by people, and these people are using God and/or patriotism as a smokescreen, but the effect is the same; we do not know who to trust.
One night when I was questioning which version of a political soundbite was really true, our son Joseph made the comment that it is all basically gossip. We spend hundreds of hours trying to discern who is telling the truth, knowing that self interests govern all the information. Because I actually thrive on the political banter, Joseph’s comment came to me as a criticism. But he’s right; I’ll have to admit it. Fifty percent of the South Koreans may be on to something; animals don’t lie. Neither do trees and rocks. They don’t manipulate or fight for power and control. They fight for survival, that’s all. For animists, human beings are often regarded as on a roughly equal footing with other animals, plants, and natural forces. Therefore, it is morally imperative to treat plants and animals with respect. How refreshing! I’m thinking that I’ll hang in there with Stoney and keep learning from the lessons that trees and nature provide. The universe has so much to teach us, if we’ll only take the time to listen. This election season has sent me a clear message, which is to turn off the gossip. Listen to that which has true value that can nourish our minds and souls.
Baked goods, arts, wood-crafts at Saturday’s Christmas farmer’s market A PolkFresh ™ Christmas Farmers’ Market will be held this Saturday, Dec. 4 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center in Mill Spring. The Christmas farmers’ market will offer products made, baked or grown. That means you can find crafts, fresh fruit and vegetables, home-made baking, artwork, hand-made clothing and much more. A good percentage of local farmers’ market vendors
have their product available year-round, so the market will be a good time to sign on to their mailing lists to receive regular communications about when local items such as produce, eggs, cheeses and meats are available for your overwinter meals. Christmas gift ideas and special orders will be taken Saturday so the Buy Local campaign within the county can apply to local farmers and farmers’ market crafters as well.
Artists June Ellen Bradley and Chris Carroll will have their studio and carpentry shop open for holiday shopping and special orders. Tour the rest of the building and see what new Ag programs will be coming to the community in 2011. The Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center, in the former Mill Spring School, is located on School Road in Mill Spring, near the crossroads of Hwy. 108 and Hwy. 9.

Letter to the Editor
Excessive spending does nothing but increase deficit
To the Editor: I see where the current leaders 1x1 of the Democrat Party ... Barack 12/3,8,10,15,17,22,24,29 Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are in full accord with the (W,F) reason they took such a “shelTPIN-040348 lacking” in the recent midterm elections: it was those durn Repbublications who did it!! Of course, the American people did not like the Democrat agenda; such as sending out billions to bail out some, but not all business enterprises, saving subprime mortgages and running up trillions of debt for social projects, such as Obamacare through mandatory health insurance and other socialized medicine practices. These expenditures will be Call 828-863-4444 for paid for by the middle class and more information the “rich”, while those with low incomes will be given a free Call 828-863-4444 ride. for more information President Obama and Mr Crawford attack Republicans for selfishly refusing “to provide health care for those that do not have it”. This is not true. There are ways for all Americans to Support the gain health care. non-lethal solution According to the September 2009 Census, 45.6 million people in this nation do not have health insurance; yet they could obtain affordable health care under present programs. Who are these people and why don’t they have adequate insurance?

American citizens while the remaining 10.2 are immigrants, 5.6 million are illegal. There is a path for immigrants to achieve medical care if the politicians would cease squabbling and take necessary action. Now, these figures are a year old, but the number of unemployed has dropped a small amount (to 9 percent), so the situations should show slight improvement? However, problems remain, but the point is that the health care system need not be so grim. It would seem to me that a far better solution would be to take advantage of programs in being, with improvements rather than shove expensive socialized medicine down our throats. Another solution to the economic situation is tax cuts for all. Qualified economists tell us that raising taxes during recession is sheer madness. Reasonable tax cuts bring money in; not take it out. During the Kennedy, Reagan and George W Bush administrations, tax cuts across the board resulted in more revenue for the simple reasons that industry had more of their own money to improve business by hiring more labor, thus producing better products and bringing in more income. Due to pay raises, employees had more money to spend, thus helping other industry. The Democrats will tell you that these tax cuts added to the deficit; but this is not correct. Pork barrel spending , mostly by Democrats caused the deficits. Both Reagan and Bush did some spending on their own; but the expenditures were for national defenses, resulting in the fall of the Soviet Union during the late 1980’s and the conduct of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq commencing in 2002. Anti-war liberals claim these MidEast Wars were unnecessary; however, does anyone believe attacks such as 9-11 would have ceased had we done nothing about that outrage. Wars are expensive, and freedom is not free. — Chuck Ross

FHS announces memorial garden To meet a growing need, Foothills Humane Society (FHS) will renovate and expand its memorial garden at the Little Mountain Road shelter to provide a permanent resting and memorial place for cherished community pets. “The shelter has always been a labor of love by the community,” said FHS president Robert Then. “Community pet owners have told us they want a place where they can feel confident of a permanent and appropriate place to inter ashes and memorialize their beloved companions. An expanded memorial garden at the shelter will create a serene
place for reflection and rest to meet that need.” Design plans donated by landscape architect Hunter Marks of Hendersonville feature the old home site chimney and include paths and seating areas surrounded by a variety of plantings. Tryon House principal Mary Prioleau has stepped forward to raise the lead gift to build the garden. “Tryon House has designated December 5 through 9 as Foothills Humane Society Week in celebration of our pets and everything Foothills does for our community,” said Prioleau. “Tryon House is proud to help get the memorial garden project
off the ground.” Plans will be unveiled at a party open to all animal lovers on December 5 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Trade Street store in Tryon. Food, refreshments, live music, door prizes, a raffle and silent auction items will be featured. All purchases that evening will be 10 percent off regular prices. In addition, Tryon House will donate three percent of all sales proceeds from December 6 to 9 to benefit the project. “The memorial garden will not only provide peace of mind and solace to pet owners, but ongoing memorial donations will help take care of the shelter
animals” said FHS operations director Dot Moyer. “Foothills really appreciates the Tryon House folks with coming up with this great fundraiser. We hope the community will come out and enjoy the great fun and shopping bargains on December 5.” Work on the memorial garden is planned for February. If you are interested in helping create the garden or want a memorial ready for the spring dedication ceremony, contact Foothills Humane Society volunteer coordinator Paula Mullinax at 828863-4444 or foothillshelter@ windstream.net. – article submitted

Zion Grove A.M.E. hosts
Are you 100% sure if you died 2x10 Christmas Musical December 5 10/8;11/5;12/3 Zion Grove A.M.E. Zion today that you would go to Heaven? Church GCFB-039065 in Rutherfordton, NC, will host a Christmas musical on You can be sure! Sunday, Dec. 5 at 4 p.m. How to Find New Life in Christ
This is what the Bible tells us: By nature, your heart runs from God and rebels against Him. The Bible calls this "sin." Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Yet God loves you and wants to save you from sin, to offer you a new life of hope. John 10:10 says, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." To give you this gift of salvation, God made a way through His Son, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 says, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." You receive this gift by faith alone. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Will you receive Jesus Christ right now? 1. Admit your need (I am a sinner). 2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent). 3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave. 4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit (Receive Him as Lord and Savior). If you are choosing right now to receive new life through Jesus Christ, pray this prayer. Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus Name, Amen This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should: 1. Read your Bible everyday to know Christ better. 2. Talk to God in prayer every day. 3. Tell others about your commitment to God. 4. Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a Bible-teaching church. If you have trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know. We want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you to grow spiritually.
The musical will feature Exdos of Spartanburg, SC; R.R. Staley Ensemble of Rutherfordton, NC; The New Harvest Time Choir of Rutherfordton, NC; and Bishop Thompson and The Victory Temple Choir of Newton, NC. Special guest will be Reverence of Spartanburg, SC. – article submitted

Saluda wood worker Dave Prudhomme will be exhibiting at the Saluda Wine Cellar through Saturday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. Dave Prudhomme is a Saluda wood worker who has been turning wood for more than 30 years. He says he delights in using storm stressed and damaged woods and recycling such wood into useful art objects. Prudhomme said, “I think some of the stress and violence from the wood’s sudden demise is trapped in each piece I make and adds a hidden almost sensed character to the piece. A story trapped in a vessel that you know only a little about. The mountains supply an endless source of raw material to save, shape, admire and pass on to others. I am always delighted to find pieces at rest in the woods and to bring them back to life in a different way. I feel a reverence for this old wood and respect its ancient soul.” Prudhomme moved here from Florida to get close to a natural source of wood. The many tree varieties, found in western North Carolina within its various microclimates, provide a rich source of wood for turning and experimentation. “One has to be careful not to become just a wood collector. Sometimes it is hard to use a piece that’s been drying in the shop for years. The learning curve can be steep and a final piece may use up a supply no

longer available. Much emotional agonizing sometimes precedes the actual work. I wish I could be a little less of a wood hoarder. Part of the problem is the respect I feel for the wood,” said Prudhomme. Unlike kiln-dried commercial grade hardwoods, air-dried woods in decay are colored by bacteria and fungus, twisted by stress from weather and grown in starts and stops from drought and fire. Some of the best woods for turning are from under story trees, less than 12 inches in diameter, extremely slow growing and may be over 100 years old and are not present in sufficient numbers to be commercially viable. The Wine Cellar is located at 229 Greenville Street in Saluda. For more information contact 828-749-9698 or www.carolinawineexpert.com. – article submitted

Polk County High School Chorus
PCHS Chorus to perform at Polk County Public Library Dec. 9 The Friends of the Polk County Public Library announce that the Polk County High Chorus will be presenting a holiday musical program at the library on Thursday, December 9 at 6 p.m. The performance will be on the lower level of the library and is open to the public. Refreshments will be provided. The Polk County High School Chorus is for anyone and everyone who enjoys singing. This year’s group is comprised of 52 ninth
through twelfth graders. Students are given a world of musical opportunities while singing a variety of repertoire from musical styles such as spirituals, folk songs, sacred and secular music from the various musical periods, carols, and pop music… just to name a few. Students from the group will participate in choral clinics at Gardner Webb University and Mars Hill College. Seven students will attend this year’s N.C. All-State chorus
in January. Anna Marie Kuether, who has served as choir director for 12 years, says, “Our group continues to grow in numbers and in talent. Our largest undertaking this school year is getting ready for our spring trip. We will be competing in Festival Disney in Orlando, Florida during the month of April.” The chorus relies on community support and parent volunteerism to provide the funds they need to continue learning, growing, and performing choral
music. Patrons of Performing Arts is a group of parents and friends of choral music who meet throughout the school year and hold fundraisers for the young singers. The students say they enjoy getting out of the classroom and getting on stage to show off their hard work. They can be found throughout Polk County performing in different venues from Rogers Park to Tryon Estates. – article submitted

LHS hoops projected second in region despite player turnover by Joey Millwood
the Landrum men’s basketball program is respected. proof? the Cardinals are returning just two starters from a team that finished 18-8 last year and are still projected to finish second in the region. Landrum graduated seven players from last year’s team. Senior Tyler Logan returns with his stellar defense and sophomore truston “the future” Whiteside returns with his explosive offensive game. The key to the Cardinals season, however, may hinge on point guard austin Brown and his ability to replace All-State and Region II-A Player of the Year Deshaun Hall, who is now shining at erskine College.
“This team should grow as the season progresses and hopefully set themselves up for a region championship.” -- Landrum Head Coach Lyn Smith
other non-starters returning from last year’s squad include Cole McDowell, Alex Bryant and Christopher Downey. Bryant at 6’4 will be the primary post player for Landrum. There is a major influx of new talent with Danny Bruce, Todd Hill, Jake Henson, Mark Wilson, omar Whiteside, Kaleb gunter, and Chandler Carrithers. Wilson, a sophomore, is the younger brother of former Cardinal star alex Wilson and is team’s best
three-point shooter. the talent is there for the Cardinals, but so are the question marks. Head Coach Lynn Smith hopes that all comes together in a nice fashion, creating another successful season for the Landrum basketball program. “We don’t have much height, but we do have team speed,” smith said. “this team should grow as the season progresses and hopefully set themselves up for a region championship.”

Cardinal PG looking forward to putting past behind by Joey Millwood
It was a normal Saturday practice. on one end of the court, the Landrum men’s basketball team ran routine drills. on the other end of the court, last year’s point guard and current erskine standout Deshaun Hall practiced jump shots. One player running drills seemed oblivious. austin Brown focused on the task at hand, working the perimeter, looking for a crack in the opposing team’s defense for a score. Plenty of clichés abound – big shoes to fill and all that – but Brown ignores it. His task is to be the best point guard that he can be for the Cardinals this season. History is history. “I just try to ignore it and look ahead,” the senior said. Brown has the skill set to
“He is going to have to handle the ball under pressure and get us in our sets. I expect a lot from my point guards and with time and practice he will be ready to run the show.” -- Landrum Head Coach Lyn Smith
his team moving forward. His quickness and ability in transition along with his excellent passing skills make him the perfect fit for Landrum’s quicktempo offense, head coach Lyn smith said. What does that entail? (Continued on page 43)

If there’s one thing the Landrum women’s basketball team will have plenty of this year, it’s leadership. The Lady Cardinals finished the season 18-5 last year and finished second in the region behind the eventual state champion Christ Church. Christ Church is projected to finish first in the region again, but the leadership on the Lady Cardinal squad could be enough to overcome that mountain this season. the Lady Cardinals will be anchored by four seniors in their starting lineup. Jordan Jenkins returns and has been named one of the top four players in the 1a ranks in south Carolina. she’ll be joined by Jennyann Parton, amber Whiteside and ashley Hartsell as the fab four seniors this season. add in sophomore Macy Atkins and head coach Roy parton hopes he’s got the ingredients for success that he needs. Skylar Henderson and Becca Burris will also get plenty of playing time. one advantage that parton feels his team will have will be the early schedule. The Lady Cardinals will have tough competition-

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq. family foundations
Q. How does a family foundation work and how much money do I need to set one up? A. A "family foundation" is what the tax law refers to as a "private foundation". the usual planning technique is to have a Crt pay its funds into a family foundation created in the trust maker's will or trust. the children of the trust maker are usually on the foundation board of trustees, and their job is to decide which charities are to receive the income donations each year in accordance with the instructions left by the trust maker. What the size of your estate has to be in order to justify this planning is purely subjective, but a general standard of tax specialists is a minimum of one million dollars. People who do this type of planning most often site their reason for doing so a desire to give their children control of wealth rather than wealth outright so they can live lives of significance in addition to affluence.
