County manager: Rails to trails ‘moot point’ Motion for Polk to withdraw support fails by Leah Justice

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said the Rails to Trails proposal is a moot point, because a Norfolk Southern official told him the company will not give up the railway for a trail system. Whitson told commissioners

about his conversation with Norfolk Southern during the county’s March 7 meeting held at the Green Creek Fire Department. “[The Norfolk Southern official] was very familiar with the Saluda Grade,” Whitson said. “He made it absolutely clear that Norfolk Southern is not going to turn over this line or any other line anytime soon. This one is

still an active line. “Based on this, I think anything with rails to trails is a moot point.” Responding to property owners who’ve expressed concern over issues such as costs to the county and eminent domain being used to obtain property for the trail, Whitson made it clear (Continued on page 4)

Weihert wins Voice of Democracy essay contest Sarah Weihert, a sophomore at Polk County High School, won the Post 10349 Mill Spring’s Voice of Democracy essay contest at the Post level, and came in third at the District 16 level. Weihert’s essay theme for 2010 was “Does America Still Have Heroes?” Her essay is included in its entirety below. Does America Still Have Heroes? by Sarah Weihert

Look around you at America and describe what you see. There are skyscrapers and big businesses in the city, and rolling hills and farm lands in the country. What about the people? Entrepreneurs out, students going to class, mothers staying home to take care of the kids while fathers are off to work. In a place as wonderful as America, people take pride in their country and want to protect their home, and a hero is the one we put our faith in to protect us. A hero is not always dressed in a cape and boots; it could be someone walking down the street that sees a lost child and helps them reunite with their mother. Maybe it’s a doctor informing you that you’re cancer-free after battling for your life. Heroes may be strangers fighting overseas for your freedom, or be it a loved one in the military. To illustrate another scenario, imagine that your house caught on fire in the middle of the night. When you escaped and dialed 9-1-1, all you could think about was the firefighters on their way to rescue your family. Seeing the red truck and hearing the lights would be like seeing Batman appear to save the day, but even more amazing because those men were putting themselves in danger to protect your loved ones. In addition to a personal experience, as an American you probably remember the firefighters who perished

on September 11, 2001 when the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were hit by two commercial planes. Firemen went inside to rescue people as the building was collapsing, and as they were trying to be heroes, some became victims, never to leave the rubble left behind. 343 of America’s finest died that day; if they aren’t heroes, I don’t know who is. Chesley Sullenberger is another hero. He was a pilot in the Post 10349 Mill Spring Quartermaster/District 16 Commander Johnny Taylor and Ladies United States Air Auxiliary President Geraldine Taylor present Sarah Weihert (center) with a certificate Force becoming a and a check for winning the Voice of Democracy essay contest at the Post level, and flight leader and coming in third at the District 16 level. (photo submitted) a training officer, and then attained the rank of captain. On January 25, 2009, he was the pilot in command of an Airbus 320 traveling from LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The plane hit a large flock of birds, disabling both engines and causing them to burst into flames. At this point, Sullenberger had to make a decision. He knew that he couldn’t make it to the closest airport, and decided to make the choice to land the plane in the Hudson River. His adept decision saved the lives of all 155 passengers on the plane that day. Every day something heroic happens, no matter how big or small. To one person, it may not be important, but to another, turning in that lost wallet may be as monumental as rescuing them from a burning building. Instead of the criminals, we should show the every day heroes on television to show the world that America is still the land of the free and the home of the brave.” – article submitted

my mother died last week. It was not unexpected. She was in 87, in poor health, insisted on living alone and had a mind of her own. no matter how often my brother and i asked her come live with one of us she always refused. She was an indomitable Appalachian mountain woman from the word go. as a priest and pastor I am usually on the care-giving end of deaths and funerals, but this time i found myself having to deal with the death of one who gave me life, loved and nurtured me through a tumultuous childhood, fought with me through the angst of adolescence and young adulthood and who cherished my wife and child. mom had a stroke, which left her body alive but her

mind dead for about fortyeight hours. During that time we stood by her slowly deteriorating shell. our whole family gathered around her bed as life support was suspended. When she died it was a quiet and graceful passing for which we are all forever grateful. however, what i write about today is not my mother's death but the nature of family dynamics, which surround traumatic or difficult events. my brother and i are extremely different. In terms of our raising and religious antecedents we are the same, but the religious, spiritual and cultural paths we chose are radically different. We love one another and our respective families, but sometimes there is a wide separation of our beliefs,

practices and priorities. So, how did we ever manage to agree on such essential things as how to deal with the ending of life support at the hospital, the details of a funeral service and the division of the estate? Quite simply we chose to transcend our differences and love one another over any personal preferences. Without going into private details let me say that we all chose (brothers, sistersin-law and grandchildren)to set our personal issues aside for the sake of one another. As a result, we were able to overcome the distress of a painful and potentially divisive event and remain a unified and connected family. It was a choice we made for the sake of one another - a deliberate choice. We, that is, every one of us, are connected to one another in some way or another. As a nation, as states, as counties, as towns and cities, as churches, civic clubs and more we all share a certain commonality, which thrives only when we choose to

live in harmony with one another. In an age of endemic cultural narcissism the assumption “it’s all about me” is ultimately destructive. only when we are willing to give up our drive to have it “my way” will we ever know what it means to live in peace and harmony. in his letter to the Romans, St. Paul exhorts the infant Church to, “love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.” to the Ephesians he wrote, “Lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” What would it be like if every church board, civic club, city council or county commission meeting operated on these basic principles? It is well worth considering. It is simply a matter of choice.

Cathy and Dave Edwards’ gratitude to Hospice cast in stone by Maureen Smith for HoCF

Even though Cathy and Dave Edwards are retired, you might think of them as “professional volunteers.” In addition to many other volunteer efforts, Cathy gives her time to the Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum every week. “The main thing I want people to know is that the Hospice House is not intimidating at all,” Cathy said. “I thought it might be when I first went, but it is the opposite. It is nothing like people might imagine if they have not been there. It is calming and peaceful, and families that come in seem to relax right away. In addition to Cathy’s work at the Hospice House, she and Dave both volunteer one morning a week at the Hospice Thrift Barn. “It’s such a good, happy atmosphere with the volunteers and the customers who come in are always remarking about what great deals they find,” Dave said. “Shoppers come to the Barn from within a 50-mile radius,” adds a Hospice Thrift Barn staff member. “Many people don’t know that the proceeds from the Barn go to support patients at the Hospice House. It is truly a winwin for both Barn shoppers and the entire community.” “At this point, HoCF has

touched almost everyone in the community,” Dave insisted. “Nearly everyone has a family member who has received Hospice care, or they know someone who has. That is why so many people feel like they want to give back.” “This sounds like a cliché,” Cathy chimed in, “but it happens to be true. We get far more out of our Hospice activities than the people we help. And volunteers don’t have to choose between just the Hospice House or the Barn. There is something for everyone to contribute as a Hospice volunteer.” As contagiously enthusiastic as they are about their volunteer work, they said they are especially pleased about their recent additions to the Path of Remembrance at the Hospice House. “It is so nice to think you can remember someone in such a special way,” Cathy said, referring to the bricks and paver they purchased in honor of Dave’s family members (mother, Ruth Greene Edwards, and brothers Steve and Jimmy Edwards). “My brother Jimmy received Hospice care at home,” Dave explained. “And Hospice impressed us because they did so much for him and the rest of the family. We became volunteers for that reason, and we try to do everything we can to show our apprecia-

HoCF Volunteers Cathy and Dave Edwards relax on the Path of Remembrance at Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills, in sight of the engraved bricks and paver that serve as the couple’s permanent remembrance of their loved ones. (photo submitted)

tion to Hospice. They are just such a good, good group.” “We also bought a brick in honor of Dave’s cousin, Weldon Kermit Cantrell,” said Cathy. “Kermit was a Tryon native who worked in the press room at the Tryon Daily Bulletin when the Vining family owned it,” Dave explained. A lot of people knew and liked him in town, and he made Tryon proud by going to N.C. State and becoming a nuclear engineer. According to Dave, “I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. He was a good man.” The Edwards thought the permanent remembrance at Hospice House of the Carolina Foot-

hills was a fitting tribute to him. “The bricks and pavers are a special and permanent way to give back to Hospice,” Cathy said. “Permanent is the word I’d like to emphasize,” she added. “They are literally cast in stone. People are remembered forever.” If you would like to find out more about the Hospice House Path of Remembrance, contact Diane or Maureen in the development office at 828-894-7000 or 864-457-9122. If you are interested in learning more about the broad range of Hospice Volunteer opportunities, contact Kim Smith at 828-894-7000 or Tracey Brannon at 864-4579125.

FENCE offers tickets for BMW Pro-Am Tournament May 16 - 22 FENCE in Tryon has announced the availability of tickets for this spring’s BMW Pro-Am Charity Golf Tournament to be played over three area courses in May. BMW Charity Golf, the organizer of the annual BMW Charity Pro-Am Golf Tournament, has chosen the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center in Tryon as a beneficiary of this year’s tournament scheduled for May

16 to 22. “We’re delighted to be once again participating in the tournament this year, and honored to be the only Polk County charity to be chosen,” said FENCE Director of Development Theron Farmer. Farmer noted that FENCE now has tickets available for sale allowing access to all three tournament courses - the Thornblade Club and the Carolina Coun-

try Club in Spartanburg and Bright’s Creek in Mill Spring. As a designated charity, FENCE will receive a portion not only of ticket sales, but of the tournament proceeds based on the number of volunteers it provides to help staff the weeklong event. The nature education and outdoor recreation facility will also receive half of the greens fees for any amateur foursomes it can solicit to enter

the tournament. Tickets are available by contacting FENCE at 828959-9021. Those wishing to volunteer at one or more of the courses may go online to register and specify FENCE as their chosen charity by visiting bmwcharitygolf.com or by contacting FENCE for an application form at info@ fence.org. – article submitted

Our national anthem Among the songs we learned to sing in the public schools I attended here and in Mooresville and Durham was “The Star Spangled Banner,” with its stirring words by Francis Scott Key. As with hymns in church, we sang all the verses. They made us feel good about being Americans. We were taught to stand respectfully when it is played or sung, too. I attended a solo recital by pianist Van Cliburn shortly after his triumphant return from Russia. Coming on stage, he strode directly to the piano, playing the opening notes of the National Anthem as he settled onto the bench. The applause stopped as we clambered to our feet to hear him produce a truly awe-inspiring version of the piece. That is the only time I have seen a recitalist do that. Over the intervening years, pop vocalists have rendered (as in dismembered, or making lard) the piece in ways that I found distressing, certainly not respectful! I just got an e-mail that I shared with many, and to which I received a goodly number of responses that agreed with it and with me. I do not know who wrote it, but it is addressed to the performers at recent sporting events. After asking them to consider their audience and to sing

Letter to the Editor

ACS survey invades personal life

To the Editor: Response to Victoria Grant’s letter concerning the ACS survey I believe I received an ACS questionnaire several years ago. Until reading Ms. Grant’s letter I had never heard of ACS before or since. When I reviewed the multipage form, I was appalled at the personal nature of the questions.

it “straight up, no styling,” the author concludes, “Sing ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ with the courtesy and humility that tells the audience that it is about America, not you.” To which those friends and I all say “Amen!” To us, an anthem is not a pop song or ballad. It is meant to inspire love of God or country, not to entertain. However, the tune for our National Anthem started life as a drinking song in merrie olde England. I suppose it might take a few beers to get most of us to attempt the octave-and-a-half compass of the tune! The pub crawlers over there must have been quite amused by our elevating it to anthem status.

Bates revised her poem 1x3 two times to get what we adv. 2/23;3/2,9,16 know now, and the words also fit the tune of “Auld Lang Syne!” I think Materna works better. “America” was probably rejected because its tune is the National Anthem of Great Britain. Many think that “America the Beautiful” should have been chosen. I like them all, but I am conditioned to respond to “The Star Spangled Banner,” though I no longer have the vocal range to sing it. I look forward to our local celebration of Independence Day.
