Landrum firefighters win top Spartanburg honors

by Leah Justice

Two volunteers with the Landrum Fire Department were recognized last week for receiving top honors from Spartanburg County. Another volunteer was recognized for completing training to become a professional firefighter.

Landrum Fire Chief Jimmy Flynn made a presentation to Landrum City Council last Tuesday, March 8 honoring Danny Jones, Dennis Horton and Mark Rollins.

Flynn said during the Spartanburg County Fire Chief’s Association banquet, Jones received the association’s highest honor in the county, the T. Wayne Early Award.

Jones has volunteered with the Landrum Fire Department for 27 years and has served in many roles, including captain.

1994 and 2006 and received the Top Gun award last year.

The T. Wayne Early Award is given to an active firefighter who has given outstanding dedication to the fire service or who has demonstrated acts that go above or beyond the call of duty.

Former Landrum Fire Chief Dennis Horton was given the Hall of Fame Award for the county.

The Hall of Fame is given to a past or present fire chief who has given years of dedicated service to his fire district and the county.

Flynn said Horton is the sixth person from Landrum to be inducted into the county’s Hall of Fame.

Horton served as Landrum’s chief from 2002 to 2006 and help decrease the city’s ISO rating from 7 to 4, which helps lower homeowner insurance rates. Horton was also credited with adding part-time staff to the department.

Horton received the Firefighter of the Year award for Landrum in 2002.

Also honored last week was Mark Rollins, who recently graduated from the S.C. Fire Academy. Rollins, who joined the Landrum Fire Department in 2007, was sponsored by the Lan-

drum Fire Department to receive professional firefighter training.

Rollins thanked the department and the community for their support. The fire department and Rollins’ family paid for Rollins to attend the academy.

Could This Be Your Solution to Numbness, Neuropathy, or Sharp Pains?

It may come and go...interrupts your sleep...and even makes your arm or legs feel weak at times.

Maybe you've even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should feel fine.

More Pills Are Not The Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the 'take some pills and wait and see' method.

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, antiseizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of which have serious side effects.

The Likely Cause Of Your Problem

READ THESE EXCITING SCIENTIFIC STUDIES: Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments. - Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.” – JMPT 1998 “Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative. Symptoms dissipated.” – JMPT 1994

My name is Dr. Sarah Merrison-McEntire, owner of Carolina Chiropractic Plus. We've been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 13 years.

For example, numerous studies have proven chiropractic's effectiveness in helping nerve conditions.

Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone.

Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments. - Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008

If You Read Nothing Else, Read This:

With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.” – JMPT 1998

More than 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs.

This painful condition interferes with your body's ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions.

Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy. Read the full facts on this page.

The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the pressure on the nerves.

By using gentle techniques, I'm able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away.

“Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative.

Symptoms dissipated.” – JMPT 1994 What these studies mean is that you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

Could This Be Your Solution?

It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your neuropathy solution.

For 14 days only, $25 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $250 for!

What does this offer include? Everything.

Take a look at what you will receive: • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

• A complete neuromuscular examination.

• A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to

your pain or symptoms… (NOTE: These would normally cost you at least $100).

• A thorough analysis of your exam and xray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

• I'll answer your most probing questions about nerve problems and how chiropractic can help.

Until March 30, 2011 you can get everything I’ve listed here for only $25. The normal price for this type of evaluation including x-rays is $250, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer. Our office is located at 152 West Main St., (two doors down from Ray Rice Martial Arts).

Call 828-245-0202 now.

We can get you scheduled for your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening.

Sincerely, Sarah Merrison-McEntire, D.C.

P.S. Remember, you only have until March 30th. to reserve an appointment at this significant discount. Why suffer for years in misery?

That’s no way to live, not when there could be an easy solution to your problem.

If you decide to purchase additional treatment you have the legal right to change your mind within 3 days and receive a refund. Federal recipients are excluded from this offer.

its overall percentage of dropouts for last school year. Its dropout percentage was 2.8 percent, which amounts to 21 students who chose to leave school prior to graduation.

Greene said in a small school it’s easy for this rate to fluctuate anywhere from 2 and 4 percent.

“We were extremely low this year. But one dropout is one too many,” Greene said. “Anything we can do to help a kid get access to a curriculum and make it through, we’ll do it.”

Greene said some students simply have extreme life circumstances that prevent them from getting over the hurdles and making it through to graduation.

He said PCHS staff and faculty

work hard to prevent students from feeling as if they have no other choice but to drop out.

He said faculty hold regular meetings to brainstorm solutions for troubled students, as well as offering remediation and assistance through the Academic Recovery Center.

“We really try to take an all-hands-on-deck approach to it, including providing an Academic Recovery Center to help those students recover credits and move forward with their education.”

The district reporting the lowest drop-out rates were Chapel-Hill Carrboro, Elkin City, Dare County, Union County, Newton Conover City, Cherokee County, Gattes County, IredellStatesville, Tyrell County and Mooresville City.

Ours

To prevent crime, get to know your neighbors

A very wise woman once said there is no depression like financial depression. It leads people down a road of desperation, she said, where they often find themselves outside their normal mindset.

People feel desperate right now.

While some believe the economy is in the midst of dragging itself out of a deep, deep pit, others continue to feel the sting of a dwindled job market and ever-increasing costs of living.

Desperation is no excuse, however, for the conduct of a handful of criminals responsible for a string of break-ins recently reported in our area.

We’ve had people from outside our community creep into our homes to pilfer what money, jewelry or medication they might find.

Sadly, we’ve also had individuals within our own county attacking their neighbors for what amounted to watches, pill bottles and some coins. In the most recent instance they harmed an elderly member of our community.

How dare they?

In a place where neighbors go out of their way to take care of one another, anyone seeking assistance for food, gas or clothing can discover help if they just look or ask.

As neighbors it seems even more vital than ever to look out for one another.

We commend the residents near Lake Lanier and Gillette Woods for doing just that and working together to assist local law enforcement in bringing the perpetrators to justice.

Be smart.

Get to know your neighbors if you don’t already.

Knowing them might be more important in this day and age than ever before.

José Franch-Ballester – incredible, and that’s no joke How do you keep an oboe from being stolen? Put it in a clarinet case. How do you make a saxophone sound like a clarinet? Miss a lot of notes.

How do you get a clarinetist to play louder? You can’t!

I’m not the only one who remembers clarinet jokes and I wasn’t alone in wondering how Tryon Concert Association’s Feb. 25 concert could hold our attention for two hours with a clarinetist and a pianist as the sole purveyors of food for our souls.

Noting that the concert would open with Von Weber’s “Grand Duo Concertante,” I braced my-self for wild honky runs interwoven with torrents of 16th notes whooshing out of the piano. I worried that the beautiful slow movement might sound like a hoot owl moving from limb to limb in a tall tree.

Well, Franch-Ballester controlled his unearthly sounds

created an ethemeticulously.

Music real daydream Pianist Anna – a trance, really Polonsky was a Review – so exquisite I match in every Rita E. Landrum wanted it to last way. The way awhile longer. I the sun rising behind a thick layer of clouds can’t think of a time when I’ve hints at a day that has already been so grateful to hear somearrived, Franch-Ballester’s thing so familiar.

On the heels of that dreamy tones seemed to register in my brain before my ears were sure piece, we heard Debussy’s equally dreamy “Premiere Rhapsodie they’d heard.

The B-flat clarinet’s huge for Clarinet and Piano.” Comrange has always been intrigu- posed as a test piece for Paris ing, but few performers can Conservatory (on whose board make truly beautiful sounds Debussy served), it is technically at the extremes of this range. difficult for both instruments and Franch-Ballester exploited the served well for the conservatory’s possibilities and made appro- exams and auditions. With expriate choices from his own tremely soft high notes and chalcomplex palette to rumble or lenging fingerings required, it is a test indeed, but is also a fine piece roar, caress or chide.

I scanned the program for worthy of the emotional investthe inevitable transcription ment this amazing pair has made.

Bohuslav Martinu composed and there it was – Debussy’s famous piano piece, “Reverie.” his “Sonatina for Clarinet and Franch-Ballester and Polonsky Piano” in 1956, three years

before his death at age 68. That we are guilty of calling early-to mid-20th century compositions “modern” is forgivable in light of how fresh and innovative this piece seems so many years beyond its original context.

Franch-Ballester had certainly found a number of ways to show us jokesters that a clarinet in the right hands is capable of anything – including holding our attention indefinitely. Martinu’s fast syncopation, quick alternating spurts from each instrument and prescient harmonies were performed flawlessly.

The locals will like knowing that Kenji Bunch (b.1973) studied with, among others, Eric Ewazen, composer and teacher at Juilliard who remains unafraid of creating expressive tonal music. (Ewazen made two appearances at ICCPolk thanks to Carole Bartol.)

• Music Review (continued from page 14)

Bunch’s “Cookbook for Clarinet and Piano” was composed for Franch-Ballester. The one movement on the program – La Ultima Noche en La Casa del Flamenco (The Last Night at

the House of Flamenco) – was a captivating example of a young performer and a young composer in a “prime” of sorts, where being a ham and a virtuouso at the same time works without embarrassing either. It was a brilliant piece that memorialized a special evening in the

composer’s life and was, surely, performed as brilliantly as he’d imagined it could be.

The program closed with “Four Rags for Two Johns” by John Novacek (b. 1962). The still Spanish Franch-Ballester and Russian émigré Polonsky seemed as American as

Ragtime itself. Both young performers took advantage of their “prime” of sorts and were unabashedly hammy and virtuosic without ever crossing the boundaries of good taste. A rare immediate standing ovation was their reward; an encore waltz was ours.

Where’ve you been: Horsewoman’s golden rule Travel changes our worldview and strengthens the bonds between loved ones. I don’t believe it’s a luxury, but a necessity.

Taking a successful adventure to other countries involves trusting the group, yet making good

choices.

My latest interview was refreshing because this horsewoman’s travels around the world are as exciting to her today as they were 80 years ago.

She is 91, but she could be

called new-aged. Fox hunting and horseback riding have been her monikers, and she has been a strong advocate of the humane style.

Like the Golden Rule, she is the opposite of those who treat others with bitter entitlement. She

believes in positive news, without prejudice, and looking at life with the glass half full.
