Tractor trailer flips, stalls I-26 traffic
Traffic was backed up along I-26 yesterday morning near Columbus after a tractor trailer carrying a load of glass flipped over in the westbound lane around 8:30 a.m. Broken glass spilled across the lane and into the median. Traffic was diverted around the wreck while local fire and emergency services cleaned up. Further details regarding the wreck were not available as of press time yesterday. (photo by Leah Justice)

Top Quality Art to the Rescue Red Cross benefit MarchHorse 20 Hay by Samantha Hurst
Crusaders of comic book lore respond to a call of distress cloaked and masked. Those coming to the rescue of the Polk County Chapter of the American Red Cross meanwhile appear armed with paintbrushes and clay. The chapter will host Art to the Rescue, a night of entertainment and fundraising, Sunday, March 20 at Tryon Estates. “Like many non-profit organizations, the Polk County Red Cross has endured the current tough times but not without diminishing financial resources,” said Executive Director Jessica Burnett. “We are committed to continuing our mission into the future, and so, with the help of our sponsors, we have planned an evening of “Art to the Rescue,” a red hot, Red Cross art auction.” While enjoying a glass of wine and heavy hors d’oeuvres, ticket holders can preview and bid on

Engineer examines Saluda City Hall
jbtr-035353
Saluda officials recently brought in a structural engineer to examine the city hall for any hidden damage before moving forward with a plan to replace the building’s roof. Mayor Fred Baisden said the city’s contractors might have to include additional supports but said beyond that there was nothing major to report that you wouldn’t typically find in a 100-year-old building. The city has also asked the engineer to factor in costs of replacing all of the building’s windows, instead of the four originally planned for replacement.

Carolina utilities moving forward with reactor plans Utility companies in the Carolinas said the nuclear crisis in Japan will not deter them from moving forward with plans to build more nuclear reactors in the region. Duke Energy plans to build two reactors at its Lee station near Gaffney, S.C., while Progress Energy plans to add two reactors to its Harris plant near Raleigh. Santee Cooper is partnering with S.C. Electric & Gas to add two reactors at a Summer plant near Columbia, S.C. Duke Energy said the permitting process for the $11 billion Lee plant near Gaffney likely will continue for another two years and the plant would not begin operation until around 2020. The company said the planned reactors at the Lee plant would have advanced safety features, including a cooling system that can operate without power. Duke and Progress, which also are proceeding with a planned merger, are currently seeking approval from North Carolina to raise utility rates to pay for new reactors during construction without going through lengthy hearings. South Carolina already allows the streamlined process that utility companies said reduces debt payments and allows them to cover costs for such large projects. Critics of the proposed rate hikes said they only would transfer the investment burden from Wall Street to the state’s utility customers. The utility companies already have spent considerable funds on plans for the reactors, but it is unclear if or when they might receive approval for the rate hikes, particularly after the accident in Japan is prompting many to reassess nuclear power. In the wake of the crisis in Japan, The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy is asking power companies to delay plans for additional reactors in the region. The group, which promotes alternative energy sources, said the utility companies should further study their safety systems to make
sure they are sufficient. The power companies said the new reactors in South Carolina would be designed to withstand the strongest earthquake ever recorded in the region, an 1866 quake in Charleston, S.C. that measured between 6.6 and 7.3 on the Richter scale. The strongest quake recorded in North Carolina was 5.8 in the western part of the state. The earthquake in Japan that caused a damaging tsunami was 9.0. Nuclear industry experts said inland reactors in the Carolinas would not be at risk of such a large tsunami. The utility companies said improvements were also made to existing nuclear plants in the past to avoid some of the problems seen at the Fukushima plant in Japan. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission required changes after Sept. 11, 2001 so the reactors could better withstand large explosions and fires. Duke Energy installed standby shutdown systems and hydrogen igniters, which prevent the type of gas explosions that damaged the Fukushima reactors.
it also sold out of its supply of potassium iodide, along with any products related to iodine, such as kelp products. The company said many of the orders came from the west coast. The French Broad Food Co-op in Asheville said it does not carry potassium iodide, but it has sold every product with iodine. Health officials have also warned against taking potassium iodide pills where there is no risk of harmful radiation, noting the pills can produce harmful side effects.
Around the Region
*** Stores in Western North Carolina said they’ve seen a run on potassium iodide pills while the nuclear crisis in Japan has unfolded over the past week. Stores such as Nature’s Pharmacy in Asheville said they sold out of the pills, which are used to prevent radioactive iodine from causing thyroid cancer, and have begun making more to keep up with the demand. Scientists have said there is no risk of harmful radiation levels in North America, but that hasn’t stopped many from rushing to stores for the pills. Nature’s Pharmacy said it received some of the last raw chemical supply needed to make more pills and has a waiting list of people ready to buy them. Organic Pharmacy, a mailorder company in Asheville, said
*** North Carolina’s economic conditions should improve this year, although perhaps not as quickly as previously expected, according to UNC-Charlotte economist John Connaughton. He forecasts the state’s economy
will grow 2.7 percent in 2011, down from his forecast late last year of 3.2 percent. Despite the less favorable outlook, the revised forecast calls for growth at more than twice the 1.3 percent expansion seen in the state’s economy last year. Connaughton said the state added 10,500 net jobs last year, well below the 282,000 jobs lost during the recession. He said the state experienced growth in eight of its 11 economic sectors last year, led by agriculture, services, retail and mining. This year, he expects increased output and employment in at least seven of the state’s 10 nonagricultural sectors and a total net gain of about 46,200 jobs. He predicts the state’s unemployment rate will end the year at about 9.5 percent, down from the current 9.9 percent. (Continued on page 14)

Tarheel State in 2010 than in any previous year, according to an annual study by the U.S. Travel Association. The study reports that visitors to North Carolina, the sixth most visited state in the country, spent a record $17 billion in 2010. The increased tourism spending, up 9 percent from 2009, created 2,000 tourism jobs in 2010 and produced 12.6 percent more in tourism revenue. The U.S. Travel Association reports that 36.8 million people visited North Carolina in 2010, an increase of 2.5 percent. The state reports that more than 40,000 businesses in North Carolina, employing about 185,500 North Carolinians, directly provide products and services to travelers. Visitors to the state spend an estimated $46.6 million per day in the state. “It’s a consistently growing part of our economy,” said N.C. Governor Bev Perdue. “Visitors and vacationers spend money that helps local economies thrive and creates jobs here in North Carolina, which is my number one priority.”

*** North Carolina legislators are moving forward with a new law that would create a harsher penalty for drunk driving. The N.C. House unanimously approved the law that would eliminate parole and raise the maximum jail time for repeat offenders to 32 months, compared to the current limit of 24 months which is reduced to eight lawn promonths - page 6with parole. “Laura’s Law,” which also raises fines for drunken driving convictions, was proposed in memory of Laura Fortenberry, a 17-year-old in Gaston County, who died last year when she was hit by a drunk driver who had three prior convictions for drunk driving. Following a second vote in the House, the bill will move to the Senate. If approved there, it could take effect on December 1. The North Carolina chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving said the law could help reduce drunken driving in the state. The chapter reports there are about 75,000 drunk-driving arrests in the state each year, and more than a third of them are for repeat offenders. *** Visitors spent more in the
*** The National Park Service has purchased a 110-acre tract near Waynesville, adding more land to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The land, purchased from the Conservation Trust for North Carolina, includes headwater streams near the boundary of Haywood and Jackson counties. The Conservation Trust used private donations and grants from the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund and the Pigeon River Fund to purchase 64 acres from Joe and Wilma Jo Arrington, and the couple donated an adjoining 46 acres. *** Home sales in Buncombe County ended in February a sevenmonth losing streak, according to figures from the N.C.

Tryon goes paperless
The Town of Tryon has officially gone paperless. Council members used new Dell laptops during the town's Tuesday, March 15 meeting. The town saved the cost of printing 450 copies for meeting packets for this week's meeting. The town purchased five laptops at a cost of $340 per computer.

I’m almost 65, how should I prepare for Medicare? Turning 65 is a lot like turning 16. When you turned 16, you didn’t automatically get your driver’s license; instead you had to take an exam and prove that you were a safe driver. There was a specific order and procedure for getting your driver’s license, and the same is true for enrolling in Medicare for the first time when you turn 65. Much like you anticipated turning 16 and getting your driver’s license, you must anticipate and plan for becoming a Medicare beneficiary. Don’t wait until you’re 65 to start thinking about your Medicare choices.
Start now and let the Department of Insurance’s SHIIP (Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program) help you. SHIIP provides free, unbiased information about Medicare and other insurance-related issues, and there are SHIIP sites in all 100 counties in North Carolina. It is recommended that you review your Medicare options before you need to enroll so that you don’t make any hurried decisions at the last minute. Your Medicare choices will depend on several factors including: 1. Are you retired, or will you or your spouse continue to work?
2. Will you have access to medical and/or prescription drug coverage through an Employer Group Health Plan? 3. How does your Employer Group Health Plan compare with Medicare supplement plans and Medicare Advantage plans? Of course there are other things to consider when determining your Medicare options. SHIIP has created a handout meant to help you navigate the Medicare system and initial enrollment process. The handout, “The Road to Medicare,” outlines the decisions you’ll need to make and what options are
available through the Medicare system. To obtain a free copy of “The Road to Medicare,” call SHIIP at 1-800-443-9354 or visit SHIIP’s website at www. ncshiip.com. You can also meet with a certified SHIIP Volunteer Counselor in your community to discuss your Medicare options. To arrange an appointment with a SHIIP Volunteer Counselor, contact the SHIIP Coordinating Site in your county; if you don’t know the local contact information, call SHIIP at 1-800-443-9354 or visit www.ncshiip.com. – article submitted

ments have been lodged against the Chamber; questioning their abilities to take on this project. My experience with the CFCC has been an incredible one. The volunteer board members are a positive, intelligent group of business owners committed to promoting the local economy and commerce. This includes tourism related industries. Since the money involved is coming from Polk County tourism tax dollars, the Chamber is well aware of the restrictions that would be placed on funds and would use them accordingly. The website and marketing would be for Polk County tourism efforts only. The Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce is more than capable of handling and building upon the foundation started by Travel and Tourism Department. With that being said, whether it be placed under the Chamber auspices, Economic Development Commission or another entity, I believe the most important item for them to understand is the development of tourism as a whole and not just one element. Attractions and events need places for people to stay and those coming to stay are looking for something to do. The cycle feeds itself and, therefore, should be promoted as such. Thank you for your consideration. – Laura Weicker

I nearly contacted ‘Ripley’s Believe it or not!’ last week. Let me begin by telling you that, generally, the television Paul and I enjoy watching as we sputter through our middle years is ‘Masterpiece Theatre,” “Travels With Rick Steves,” and nearly everything on BBC America. Perhaps it comes from living in Los Angeles for 15 years and getting my fill of ‘The Night Stalker,’ riots, and robberies on the nightly news. And, frankly, even living here in the Upstate, there’s always one or two murders that lead the evening broadcast. So, you see, when I am watching TV for leisure, the last thing I want to do is watch graphic violence. I don’t mind a murder too much as long as it was written by Agatha Christie and there’s lots of lovely, English villages to soak up as well

Carolina Miracle League set to begin play Monday, March 21 The Carolina Miracle League Board of Directors recently announced that the league will begin its fifth season of play on Monday, March 21 at Miracle Park inside the North Spartanburg Sports Complex in Boiling Springs, S.C. The league boasts 80 players for the spring, split into six teams. CML players will be guided by a total of 22 coaches this season. “We continue to be blessed by this community and their support of Miracle League baseball,” said CML executive director Pam Dean. “We have 14 new players
with us this spring and we also welcome a host of new coaches to work with our kids. As always, the many volunteers who step up to be buddies at our games is very gratifying and all our dates were filled with groups looking to be buddies many weeks ago.” The Carolina Miracle League (CML), founded in 2001, provides children with disabilities in Spartanburg, Union and Cherokee counties in South Carolina and Rutherford and Polk counties in North Carolina the opportunity to participate in an organized baseball league. The CML holds
all games at Miracle Park, located inside the Spartanburg County Parks and Recreation Department’s North Spartanburg Sports Complex at 1160 Old Furnace Road, Boiling Springs, S.C. Dedicated in 2007, Miracle Park features a ProTraxx playing surface that accommodates wheelchairs and walkers. This project was funded in part by Spartanburg County Community and Economic Development Department through the use of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community Development Block Grant Funds.
To become a volunteer with the Carolina Miracle League or to make a donation, visit www. carolinamiracleleague.com, call 864-579-1805 or write to: Carolina Miracle League, 530 Old Converse Road, Spartanburg, SC 29307.

Upstairs Artspace plans fifth Silent Art Auction The Upstairs Artspace is now accepting donations of fine art and craft for the fifth Silent Art Auction to be held April 1 - April 9. The popular event is one of the nonprofit organization’s most successful fundraisers.

Tryon’s Blitzen Benz racing team wins at Rockingham Tryon’s own sports car road racing team, Blitzen Benz, won the ChumpCar World Series 7-hour endurance race at Rockingham Speedway on Sunday, March 13, by a two-lap margin. The winning Mercedes-Benz 190E race car is owned and prepared by Ned Gallaher of Gallaher Restorations. In addition to Gallaher, who resides in Asheville, drivers were Warren Board of Tryon, Hans Huwyler and Peter Mayrhofer of Columbus and Mark Thomas of Winchester, Va. The Blitzen Benz team members’ average age is among the oldest competing in this nationwide series for “affordable” sports car racing. Nevertheless, it has won more races during the past year than any other team in the series, contributing most of its winnings to charity. Crew chief Rusty Tredinnick and pit chief Greg Pressley credit the first win of the 2011
season to a new engine, suspension tuning and other mechanical refinements made during the winter – along with effective race strategy and very competitive driving. ChumpCar World Series rules specify that the original racecars, exclusive of safety equipment meeting SCCA standards, must be valued at no Hans Huwyler in Baby Blitzen leads Rockingham race.

Polk County Campus ICC Foundation off to good start The Polk County Campus (PCC) Isothermal Community College (ICC) Foundation has begun its 2010-2011 term with three new members: Dick Armstrong, Betsy Carr and Judy Lair. They join Lisa Barrows, Alan Batchelder, Sally Jo Carter, Bernard Eiserloh, Thad Harrill, Darlene McFarland (VP), Liz Quattlebaum (treasurer), Heather Smith (secretary), Kathy Taft, Gorden Threlfall, Sherril Wingo (president) and Priscilla Yeager. The board’s continued focus is the Polk County New Centu-
ry Scholars program that selects three seventh graders each year and mentors them through high school graduation. If the scholar has maintained good grades, participated in community service and remained drug and alcohol-free, he or she is guaranteed two years of tuition-free education at Isothermal Community College in Spindale. To raise money for its New Century Scholars program, the foundation annually hosts a golf tournament at The Cliffs at Glassy. Area businesses and
friends support this tournament through teams, monetary contributions and in-kind donations. The 2011 tournament is scheduled for Monday, October 24. Proceeds from the first two tournaments allowed the Polk ICC Foundation to start an endowment fund specifically for New Century Scholars at the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF). With more students joining the program each year, this fund will ensure its future. In 2010, the PCC ICC Foun-
dation received a bequest of $25,000 from Mary F. Kessler, a local supporter of Polk’s Isothermal Community College, and used it to create another PCCF fund that addresses general needs of the Polk County campus now and in the years to come. Donations may be made to Polk ICC Foundation, 1255 W. Mills Street, Columbus, or to either of the two funds at the Polk County Community Foundation. – article submitted

The four hour course, taught by AARP trained volunteers, is designed to help participants understand the effects of aging on driving, learn driving strategies that take into account the effect of aging, identify common crash situations faced by older drivers, reduce the chances of having a crash, update knowledge of today’s roads and traffic laws, vehicles and other road users and think about how they drive and when it may no longer be safe to drive.

Patient safety remains top priority At St. Luke’s Hospital, we’re celebrating National Patient Safety Awareness Week, a few days to bring attention to a major focus in our hospital every day –– keeping our patients safe at all times. With every patient encounter and every procedure, patient safety remains our focus — always has been and always will be. In recognition of National Patient Safety Awareness Week, I’d like to assure you every one of us at St. Luke’s Hospital will continue to the journey towards patient safety and meeting the goals set for all hospitals by The Joint Commission. National Patient Safety Goals represent ongoing opportunities for improvement that can immediately benefit patients. The Joint Commission (TJC) is the agency that inspects hospitals and other providers to insure we are meeting stringent requirements to provide high quality healthcare. TJC has determined goals that hospitals nationwide must achieve. They are: improve the accuracy of patient identification; improve the effectiveness of communication among caregivers; Improve the safety of using medications; reduce the risk of healthcare associated infections; accurately and completely reconcile medications across the continuum of care; identify patient safety risks;

The Omnicell has reduced medication errors and increased the efficiency of the clinical staff. It tracks controlled substances and alerts staff of discrepancies, allergies and drug interactions. In the hospital industry, medication errors are, by far, the most common mistakes although usually without consequence. These are just a few of the systems we have in place at St. Luke’s Hospital for our patients’ safety. In a future column, I’ll be glad to share more patient safety protocols St. Luke’s physicians and staff follow to ensure you receive exceptional care, close to home. St. Luke’s Hospital is a not for profit, acute care hospital affiliated with Carolinas HealthCare System of Charlotte, NC, for specialized management expertise, experience with developing strong community-based clinical services, and participation in revenue and purchasing contracts. CHS is the largest healthcare system in the Carolinas and the third largest public system in the nation. St. Luke’s Hospital is committed to providing Exceptional Care, Close to Home.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq. Asset Protection Q. How do I evaluate a corporate trustee? A. Talk to several. ask how long the trust department or company has been in business, how many trusts do they manage, minimum and average sizes of the trusts and how much experience the staff has. Compare investment returns and fees. ask to see samples of statements or reports and see if you understand them clearly. Facts are important, so are the people. Do they seem to care? Do they listen? How comfortable are you that they will be there for your family when needed. remember, a corporate trustee need not be the sole trustee. If you are concerned about the “human” touch, you can always appoint a co-trustee who is a family member or friend. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques. SASS-033251 1x7
