Tree hits truck driving in Tryon by Leah Justice
Les Spangler and Pat Chestnut can thank their lucky stars today. Spangler and Chestnut were traveling along Hunting Country Road yesterday in a Chevy S10 truck Spangler purchased two weeks ago when a tree fell and landed across the truck’s toolbox just behind the cab. Chestnut, who was a passenger, said he and Spangler were just riding along talking and all of a sudden the tree hit the truck. “I saw the tree when it was about two feet from my window,” Chestnut said. Spangler apparently saw the tree falling and sped up just before it hit, Chestnut said. Given how close the tree came to hitting the cab, Chestnut says he feels lucky to be alive. Neither of the men was injured seriously. The tree was apparently blown down by strong winds around 10 a.m. yesterday just past FENCE on Hunting Country Road. The fallen tree blocked the road for a brief
Heavy winds yesterday caused a tree to fall on this truck while it was traveling along Hunting Country Road yesterday. The tree barely missed the cab; neither the driver, Les Spangler, nor the passenger, Pat Chestnut, were injured seriously. The road was closed for a short time while Tryon and Columbus firefighters cleared the tree. (photo by Leah Justice)

St. Luke's foundation receives $200,000 from Duke Endowment St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation recently announced it has received a $200,000 grant from the Duke Endowment that will be used to support the hospital’s efforts for better electronic communication to improve patient care. “We are so grateful that our foundation is the recipient of a $200,000 grant from The Duke Endowment,” said Meshelle Colvin, executive director of the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation.
The grant will help fund a $2.6 million capital investment that is necessary to move toward electronic medical records (EMR). EMRs have been identified as mandatory tools by the federal government to advance patient care, efficiency, productivity and safety. EMRs allow providers immediate access to and ability to share a patient’s important clinical information.

Tryon family seeks help after house damaged in fire by Leah Justice
A fire Saturday night, Dec. 11, caused a Tryon family to lose its home just two weeks before Christmas. Nancy and William Johnson were out of town over the weekend. The only person in the house at the time was the Johnsons’ daughter, who escaped without injury. The Johnsons are now staying with a son in his one-bedroom apartment. Local fire departments responded to 525 East Howard Street at 11:09 p.m. Saturday night after receiving the call at 11:03 p.m. Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis says the investigation indicates that a space heater may have caused the fire. He says the majority of the damage was confined to the upstairs and attic area. Family member Sarah Miller says her granddaughter called
her Saturday night, saying she woke up to a fire and ran outside with no shoes on. According to Miller, the house burned from the kitchen to the back room of the house and the ceiling is gone. “It burned from one corner to the other,” Miller said. Miller said the firefighters were great Saturday night; they got there quickly and handed out blankets to people who needed them. She said they didn’t leave the scene until almost 2 a.m. The Tryon Fire Department was assisted Saturday night by the Tryon Police Department and Columbus and Saluda fire departments. The Polk County Chapter of the American Red Cross gave the Johnsons about $200, Miller said, to purchase food, but she said the family is in desperate need of money to repair the house. The couple used to carry homeowner’s insurance, Miller

said, but had to drop it recently after William Johnson lost his job. Nancy Johnson is the only family member employed currently. Anyone wishing to help the
Johnson family is urged to call Miller at 828-859-5573 or mail donations to 525 E. Howard Street, Tryon, NC 28782. The Johnsons can be reached at 864266-7433.

David Pearson (left) and Jason Sain, IT staff at St. Luke’s Hospital, begin the task of placing new computers throughout the hospital as efforts are under way to implement electronic health records. To date, St. Luke’s Hospital has received a total of $582,000 for information technology.

Using incentives and penalties to move the nation’s hospitals to a “paperless” system, the government intends for hospitals and providers to meet certain criteria or meaningful use, within certain timeframes. The first level providers must meet includes recording patient demographic information, vital signs and chart changes, medication and a medical allergy list. In addition, systems must be in place to protect privacy and security of the patient information along with the ability to electronically exchange key clinical information among providers. Should the goal be met, providers receive federal stimulus incentives. Should they fail, providers will be penalized by a decrease in Medicare payments. “Polk County’s demographics show we are a mecca for retired seniors, and for St. Luke’s Hospital, that means we care for a large number of Medicare recipients,” said Ken Shull, St. Luke’s president/chief executive officer. “Actually, about 65 percent of our patients are covered by Medicare,
so it behooves us to move quickly towards ‘meaningful use’ so we can receive incentive payments which we’ll use to help pay for this major capital expenditure,” Shull said. “Although the hospital’s financial viability has improved, we are still fragile and find it impossible to fund this computer technology without the support of our foundation,” Shull said. “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 fund(Continued on page 5)

Injury keeping Wolverine leader off basketball court by Joey Millwood
For Polk County men’s basketball, the end of football season throws the beginning of basketball season into chaos. The Wolverine football team has become a constant in the latter rounds of the playoffs and a large portion of the Wolverine basketball team is generally playing football. This year, however, the effect has been a little more dramatic than just scheduling. After halftime of the Polk-Lincolnton football game, star quarterback and star point guard Andre Overholt limped onto the field. And the senior will be absent from the Polk offense on the hardwood. A recent doctor visit revealed a chipped bone on his ankle that will keep the Wolverine leader sidelined until after Christmas, something that has hindered
Polk’s season in the early going. “Andre is our leader on and off the court,” head coach Josh McEntire said. “The other players look to him when times get tough to help lead them through any situation.” Overholt averaged nine points per game last season and chipped in five assist, four rebounds and four steals per game. Those aren’t easy numbers to replace. Overholt has faith, however. “Depth is a big difference this year,” the senior said. “Depth is key. The team will need to step up.” McEntire agrees and takes it a step further. “Other guys are going to have to step up without him and it will make our team better in the long run.” In either case, Wolverine fans will hope to see No. 3 on the court before too long.

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.

Habitat for Humanity affiliate and the first house was completed in 1984. Habitat for Humanity now has completed more than 70 new or renovated houses inb the area. Most people know that Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization working to upgrade the housing and living conditions of less fortunate people. But did you know that every able bodied adult who is approved for a home has to complete 200 hours of “sweat equity” to qualify for their home? With paint brush or hammer, or by putting in service hours at the ReStore consignment and resale shop in Landrum, they become partners in the building of their own home. If you would like to give hammer time as a volunteer, or materials and housing items to the ReStore, call 864-457-2561. – article submitted

Thanks to Habitat For Humanity supporters all over the world, Habitat International recently surpassed its 400,000 house milestone objective. The organization says that means more than two million people are in improved housing in the global community. In the Thermal Belt community of Landrum and Polk County, Habitat has houses dotting the landscape with grateful homeowners because of the work and donations of the community. In 1983, as the direct result of a Rotary Club community service project to improve insulation in needy homes (the Rotarians were already acting “green” ahead of the national power curve) they realized the serious shortage for decent housing in the community. Assisted by local church members, they founded Thermal Belt

Prince has featured song in new Christmas show in Nashville
A scene from “A Scattered, Smothered and Covered Christmas,” playing in Nashville, TN. (photo submitted)
Local performer Jennifer Prince has a featured song in a new show called “A Scattered, Smothered and Covered Christmas.” The production, which was originally scheduled through Dec. 19, has now been extended through Jan. 2 at the former Boots Randolph supper club in Printers Alley, downtown Nashville, TN.
Her uptempo gospel tune called “Packed Up, Prayed Up, Ready To Go” is a featured song in the first act and is later reprised as a major choreographed, full-cast musical number. “Scattered…,” starring Three’s Company’s Joyce DeWitt, is about an unlikely group of people who get snowed in at a Waffle House on Christ-
mas Eve. The show is getting good reviews at Nashville’s new dinner theater as the opening musical production for writer/director and entrepreneur Kaine Riggan, who plans to develop the theater into a downtown tourist destination. The venue is three blocks from the Ryman Auditorium and four blocks from the Bridgestone Arena. DeWitt says she is having a great time working in Nashville and adds, “Jennifer’s song is a crowd-pleaser every night.” “Packed Up, Prayed Up, Ready To Go” is among 15 songs in the show from songwriters such as Randy Travis, T. Graham Brown, Paul Overstreet and other well-known Nashville songwriters. “Jennifer played several of her songs for me and I passed on them,” Riggan recalls. “I asked her if she had anything else and she said she had this gospel song but she didn’t think it would work for the show. I asked her to play it for me anyway and when I heard it I went, ‘Wow - it’s perfect.’” Prince, a frequent performer in Polk County and the Upstate, lives in

They were named the 2001 Citizen(s) of the Year by the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce; they each received the Order of the Palmetto from Governor Sanford in 2004; the South Carolina House of Representatives named them the District 107 Distinguished Citizens of the Year and designated June 2, 2006 as “Mary Emily and Nelson Jackson Day” in South Carolina; and were both awarded the 2007 Ashby Ward Pioneer(s) of the Year by the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.
