Welding students who earn NCCER credentials are prepared to take a final test to become certified welders, making them even more sought after.

Who: Pat and Dom Ferullo, Tryon. Domenic is a building contractor and fine artist in mixed media. Pat is a fine painter who has always had a deep curiosity about Italy. The two moved to Tryon in 1992, after living on a ridge top in Saluda since 1987. Where’ve You Been? Early Nineties: The couple’s first visit began with a villa rental through a company called Untours, a company who emerged during the computer revolution with reasonable pricing for “do-it-yourself” accommodations in out-of-theway places not often visited by tour bus companies. They went to Tuscany before it was the lieu, and stayed on a farm in a tiny village called Buon Convento. Their favorite day trip was to Siena, Italy.

bravo - page 30

Mid Nineties: They visited Florence, the Renaissance City and artistic capital, during the month of May, bedazzling themselves with the Statue of David, and the Ufizzi Museum. Loved: Dancing to a jazz band in the town square (or piazza), and one evening, after a delicious meal, being treated to a glorious parade and concert by a children’s choir. Disliked: Pat tried not to look as Dom braved the infamous five lane city traffic in the Fiat they rented! The lines to sightseeing attractions were long at that time of year. 2006: Along came collusion for a sense of adventure. They sold their Tryon home and arranged to buy a vecchio in Italy, which Dom was going to reno-

vate with the help of a builder. A vecchio is an old ruin, because in Italy there are laws against tearing down Roman antiquities. However, at the last minute, it fell through. So instead, they rented an apartment in a fishing village just south of Naples, on the Tyrrhenian side of the Mediterranean Sea. There they spent their days getting to know the landscape. They visited the little known Red Grotto and Gold Grotto, as well

Letter to the Editor

Respect deserved for commission

To the Editor: My husband and I attended the Polk County Commissioners meeting on Monday, Feb. 21, and came away with a very disheartened feeling about politics in our peaceful county. Our commissioners should all be commended and thanked for the time and dedication they give in service to make our county’s operation efficient and safe. To say that they were getting less than respect and thanks in Monday’s meeting would be putting it mildly. They were getting verbal abuse. I remember the joy I felt at the commissioners meeting almost a year ago when the 20/20 plan was approved, and the whole courtroom broke into cheers and applause. I thought our county was on a visionary, positive and productive plan for all of its citizens and our future together. That optimism has been replaced by feeling of negativity that felt heavy ChANgE OF MEETINg DATE FOR COLUMBUS TOWN COUNCIL The Columbus Town Council will meet on Tuesday, March 22 at 7:00 p.m. This change of date is for the month of March only. The Council regularly meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. adv. 3/2,16

as the Blue Grotto, on the Isle of Capri. Routinely, they would walk past olive trees that were planted 2,000 years ago or more to enjoy picnics at the marina, where Dom vividly recalls “the water was of a cerulean blue that was unforgettable.” Like true Italians, their standard fare was fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, the best local olive oil and wonderful bread, making special trips to Salerno, which they label the “City of Bread.” They also made good friends. One man they befriended sailed solo from Italy to Uruguay, was attacked by pirates, and survived. and was certainly unnecessary in the meeting on Monday. People can have different opinions and not be disrespectful or negative toward others. There are not enough hours in the day to get necessary work done. To spend even some of those hours countering negativity is not only emotionally draining but also counterproductive. Our Commissioners deserve our respect. We are all in this together. Let’s get along; and don’t forget to smile. –– Carolyn Ashburn

Letter to the Editor

Citizen Alert

To the Editor: This communication is intended as an alert of dastardly deeds being committed by criminals from primarily outside the United States. The great area we enjoy here in the foothills has a relatively low crime rate but with the Internet and phone service in this modern day we are all accessible. With low cost accessibility criminals are making an exorbitant amount of money sitting at a computer or telephone sending out any and every conceivable type of communication. These communications are fabricated to take your money and for no other reason. Please be aware of the following scams and please understand a new bogus scam is apparently concocted everyday. Some of the most common

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

scams are e-mails telling the recipient that money from a relative in a foreign country has been located and you’re an heir to the monies and should contact them about transfer of funds to your account. The transfer of those funds will either require you to provide them with your bank information for the transfer or you send them an amount of money to pay for the closing of the estate and a cashier’s check will be sent to you of some grand amount. First you must ask yourself, “Who was this relative and why had they never came to the family reunion.” I personally receive this type email at least three times a week and respond with “SEND ME THE MONEY” knowing no such money exists. These types of communication in varying forms continue daily and are generated usually from Nigeria, Canada, Dominican Republic or any other location around the world.

Fear is one of the most recent methods being used in that individuals are receiving calls from the IRS or the FBI or at least they say they’re from these government agencies and the claim is that you haven’t paid some back taxes and that you face arrest and other consequences. Please, don’t fall for these tricks. The IRS and or the FBI will not call you for a money payment. If you are indebted to the government you will receive multiple notifications by the US Mail. Lottery winnings, how do you win a lottery you’ve not entered, well every week someone tells me of their winning such an event and they can rake those winnings in by sending anywhere from $499 for processing to $2,500 and after their processing money is received their Million Dollar Check will arrive by special courier and armed law enforcement. This is partially correct in

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

that law enforcement will arrive if you call on them to complete a report about losing the $499 to $2,500 in this scam. Also, if someone purchases an item from you with a check that’s for more than the amount of the sale a flag should be raised they will request you send the overpayment in cash with the item sold. The check received for the item will be worthless and in about two weeks your item will already be delivered to them with your cash thus the crook gets the item plus some of your money. These scams along with numerous others are taking hard earned dollars from many times the neediest of individuals and a large part of the time from our elderly population. The local police departments and sheriffs offices are handicapped in these cases as there are no methods of tracking these criminals down (Continued on page 19)

outside the U.S. If the loss is $100 thousand dollars or more Federal Authorities will review the case and proceed if they believe recovery and extradition is possible. How can we protect ourselves and our family from these despicable acts? 1- Be conscious: If it’s too good to be true it isn’t true. 2- You can’t win a lottery or sweepstakes if you didn’t enter 3- Never give your bank account info or Social Security info over the phone or computer 4- Discuss any transactions with friends or family before making them 5- If you have the smallest question about a call or email as to it’s content and request for personal info, talk with family, friends or authorities before sending money or personal info 6- Make authorities aware of attempts to gain your info or money 7- Never make financial decisions based on communications from unknown parties Don’t be a victim of these ruthless individuals, call your local authorities and make them aware of any communication similar to those mentioned.

St. Luke’s Hospital welcomes clinical change officer St. Luke’s Hospital recently announced that Sam Major, RN, MSN, has joined the staff as the project manger and clinical change officer. Major will assist staff in the transition to electronic medical records. With 30 years of healthcare experience, Major has experience in hospital information services, acute and critical care nursing and government regulations. He received his associate degree in health science in emergency medicine from Greenville Technical College in 1993, and his master of science in nursing - acute/critical care from Vanderbilt University School of Nursing in 1995. He also received his graduate certificate in nursing informatics from Duke University in 2000. Most recently, Major has worked as a traveling emer-

gency department nurse working at eight hospitals in six states. He has also worked as a hospital clinical administrator at WakeMed in Cary and as project manager for A4 Health Systems, now Allscripts, in Cary. “I had education and experience I was not using,” said Major. “This position allows me to use both, I love this area and the challenge of this undertaking was very appealing. I am very excited to help St. Luke’s move forward with the latest technology and look forward to the task of helping staff learn the new system when our medical records are electronic.” Major will be working alongside David Pearson, information services director. “We are very excited to have Sam onboard with St.

Luke’s Hospital as we embark upon implementation of a new Electronic Health Record System. Sam will be filling a crucial dual role working both as a nursing clinical change agent and an information services project manager. This unique position will help bridge technology into patient care processes and ensure that St. Luke’s Hospital will meet meaningful use objectives outlined in the HITECH Act. We were very fortunate to find someone with Sam’s background in both Nursing Informatics and Project Management,” Pearson said. Originally from Kentucky, Major and his wife say they are pleased to be in this area, which is closer to their son in Raleigh and daughter in Easley. In their spare time,

they enjoy spending time with family, hiking, riding bikes and being outdoors. “I’m excited to be at St. Luke’s Hospital. After traveling for three years, I feel at home,” adds Major. “I look forward to teaming up with all staff as we improve the lives of the patients we serve.” – article submitted

Powell prepares facilitators for music imagery sessions “Imagine making a difference in the life of a child whose parent is deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Just imagine how you can lift the stress for child and family.” These are the first two lines of an invitation to Kiwanians and other volunteers in Skidaway Island, Savannah, Ga., Hunter Army Airfield and the Fort Stewart community. The volunteers were about to be introduced to music inspired creativity through the work of Linda T. Powell. Powell is a Polk County resident, facilitates music imagery sessions for youth studying at Adawehi Institute in Columbus, and teaches music at her Tryon studio. On Saturday, Jan. 15, Powell presented a training program sponsored by the Music

Medicine Institute for 15 adult volunteers who later will work with the children of deployed military. She is the author of “Stories, Music and Imagery: A Doorway to a Child’s Self Esteem.” Her book, the basis of this training program and her work at the Adawehi Institute, Powell said, “combines stories, relaxation, focused attention and beautiful music to help children grow their self esteem.” In sessions, the children share their own wisdom and are guided by the support of the adult facilitator. Powell explained that the children of deployed military experience a tremendous amount of stress: the loneliness of being separated from parents, the worry of whether their parents are

safe and the anxiety of possibly having to move to a new school and develop new friendships. Despite all of their concerns, they still must function every day and focus on school. Through stories and music in Powell’s music imagery program, children often find role models in the stories of other children who have succeeded under challenging conditions. The children learn to use their imagination to open doors to possibilities that can help them meet their unique challenges. Support for Powell’s workshop was provided by the Music Medicine Institute and The Skidaway Island Kiwanis Club. To contact Powell regarding music and imagery sessions for eight to 19-year-old youth,

St. Luke’s names Employee of the Third Quarter, of Year 2010 Keith White, assistant director of engineering, is always helpful, knowledgeable and prepared for any task at hand. No amount of preparation could have gotten him ready for the news he recently received. White has been selected as Employee of the Fourth Quarter and Employee of the Year for 2010 at St. Luke’s Hospital. White accidently landed at St. Luke’s almost 16 years ago. After being unemployed for a year while attending Blue Ridge Community College for his electrical degree, White was helping friends paint the outside of the hospital building. He heard there was an opening in the engineering department and decided to apply. He’s been working at St. Luke’s Hospital in the engineering department ever since.

White said he enjoys his job, his co-workers and has a definite love for St. Luke’s Hospital. “Everyone here is working towards the same goal,” he said. “We all want to provide an excellent hospital for our community. I love what I do and where I work. No two days are ever alike and my co-workers feel like family.” “Keith is very hardworking. He’s a great guy with tremendous experience, and we are lucky to have him in our department,” said Glen Smith, director of engineering. “He is always helpful, too,” added Brook Campbell, co-worker. “When I need him, he’s there!” A life-long resident of Green Creek, White lives with his wife, Marsha. White enjoys spending

time with family, taking care of his animals, and fishing. White received a monetary

award and designated parking space at the hospital. – article submitted
