Tractor-trailer accident slows I-26 traffic

A tractor-trailer flipped on I-26 at about 9:45 a.m. on Friday, March 25, knocking down a section of guardrail. Eastbound traffic was reduced to one lane for several hours as emergency personnel worked to clear the accident. No injuries were reported in the incident. Columbus police and other local emergency personnel assisted N. C. Highway Patrol at the scene. (photo by Leah Justice)

Number of uninsured in Polk higher than state average Saluda Medical Center one option for uninsured medical care by Samantha Hurst

After a night of deep rooted coughing and congestion uninsured Polk resident Debbie Bell didn’t experience the distress others in her position might. Instead she knew she could seek medical assistance even without an insurance card to brandish at the

receptionist window. Bell for the last 20 years has been a patient of the Saluda Medical Center. She first sought treatment there when she had insurance but learned the center’s true value after losing her industry job years later. “It’s a godsend, it’s a relief. I got Medicaid for the kids but I’m in that age group where you don’t qualify for anything. You just pray you don’t get sick,” Bell said. “It felt great to not

have to rush to the emergency room, which is what a lot of people do for their primary care.” According to the County Health Rankings 2010 Snapshot of Polk County (www.countyhealthrankings.org/print/northcarolina/polk), 24 percent of Polk County’s adults under age 65 live without insurance compared to 17 percent for North Carolina. Polk County’s updated baseline measure of uninsured individuals for that same age range currently sits at 21.2 percent, which remains higher than the state average. St. Luke’s Hospital in Columbus served 2,350 uninsured or underinsured patients in its emergency department during fiscal year 2010. Hospital spokesperson Kathy Woodham said that amounts to a loss of $1,783,154.30 for the hospital just in emergency room visits. Costs accumulate beyond

that when a patient is admitted, she said. All services related to uninsured or underinsured patents surpassed $2.5 million last year, according to hospital records. It’s not just the loss to the hospital that concerns Woodham. As chair of the Polk County Wellness Coalition, she said lack of medical care is high on their list of priorities. “As a group of volunteers committed to making a difference, the coalition recognizes there are people in our county who need primary care but lack insurance coverage or means to pay for basic services. Thanks to some federal funding, we’ve been able to provide a safety net for primary care and medications,” Woodham said. “No matter what your income, or lack of, health education, early intervention or better yet, prevention are more cost effective to individuals and society as a whole.” Polk Wellness Coalition members want to see the patient load

In the most highly anticipated game of the season, the Lady Wolverines played host Thursday, March 24 to Swain County High School, the top ranked 1A team in the state. The powerhouse squad from Bryson City rolled into Columbus with an imposing resume. The Lady Devils have traveled to the state championship tournament in each of the last five years, boast three players hitting over .600, and have, in senior Shelby Parker,

of people receiving medication, when said medication is due for renewal and the amount of money provided via medication vouchers. This program then seeks out which company provides assistance for a patient’s needed medication and supplies that patient with an application form to be sent by mail to the applicable company. Many of their patients now come through needing assistance with medications, some which can run from $50 a month to more than $100 without insurance coverage. Copeland said last year the center assisted in obtaining medications worth $4,653,705 in retail costs. They also processed more than 15,300 requests for medication.

a future Division I college pitcher on the mound. At the very least, Swain was expected to give Polk its first major test of the season. In a surprise move, Swain head coach Toby Burrell opted to start his number two pitcher, Richelle Jenkins, in place of staff ace Parker. As Burrell explained after the game, the strategy behind the decision was based on how best to counter Polk County’s offensive style. Jenkins, a drop-ball specialist, figured to match up (Continued on page 7)

that might benefit them. Through the Coalition’s Access to Care team, patients who are un/underinsured are identified and directed toward primary care providers that receive funding through the Community Care of Western North Carolina (formerly Access II Care). Approximately $100,000 in state funding has been committed to Polk County to provide primary care and prescription assistance to lowincome, uninsured Polk County residents. In addition, Access to Care has twice secured the Men’s Baptist Dental Bus to provide basic dental needs to Polk County adults. The team is also working with Saluda Medical Clinic to bring the N.C. Farm Bureau Mobile Screening bus to Polk County later this spring. The Farm Bureau bus will provide blood pressure screenings, blood glucose checks, dexa scans to measure bone mineral density, lipid screening, dietary counseling and some ultrasounds at no cost to patients seen. Copeland said she hopes 200 people will be able to be seen through the mobile unit when it comes.

well against the Lady Wolverines’ bunting, slapping method of play. Polk ace Jamie Hrobak, fresh off of her perfect game performance against Mitchell, started strong, retiring the first three Swain batters on strikeouts, and after Alyssa Montgomery singled to drive home Amber Lynch in the bottom of the first, the Lady Wolverines found themselves with a 1-0 lead. After a scoreless second frame, Swain’s offense came to life. Leadoff hitter Nikki Cody legged out an infield hit, followed by a Brittany Shuler single to left. Two batters later, Parker, hitting from the number five spot, lashed a double down the left field line past the outstretched glove of Kara Garvin, and the Lady Devils found themselves on top by a score of 2-1. Swain’s lead quickly evaporated in the bottom of the third, however, as Cassie Couch stepped to the plate with two out and launched a booming double into

deep left field, scoring Lynch to knot the game at 2-2. Following a base hit by Garvin, Shea Wheeler stepped up and stroked a single to right center, scoring Couch from third. After Garvin scampered home on a wild pitch, Polk found itself back on top after three. Though Swain ace Parker relieved Jenkins in the fourth and held Polk scoreless for the rest of the game, the damage had already been done. The Lady Devils were unable to score again against a tenacious Polk defense, which closed out two of the final three innings on double plays, and the game ended with the Lady Wolverines on top by a score of 4-2. “I was really proud of how our girls responded with runners on base,” said Polk head coach Jeff Wilson, citing in particular the excellent defensive play of Lynch, Montgomery and Hrobak. The Lady Wolverines improved to 7-1 on the season, as Hrobak notched her 36th career win, striking out 11 while walking just one.

was sentenced to 120 days in jail. The original charges included felony larceny, breaking and/or entering and one count of possession of stolen goods. Byrd will be given credit for time she has already served. John Jacob Kessler, 42, of Hendersonville is still in custody at the Greenville County Detention Center for the same Gillette Woods robbery, as well as several others in the Lake Lanier and Gillette Woods area that occurred in February. Kessler has been charged by the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office

with grand larceny, three counts of second-degree burglary and one count of petit larceny. Kessler will also face the same charges as Byrd for the Tryon break-in following the Greenville County charges. No court date has yet been scheduled for Kessler in Greenville County. Kessler is accused of breaking into homes at Lake Lanier and Gillette Woods in February. The crimes occurred during the day when no one was at home. Items taken included mostly jewelry. Neighbors began talking about the

break-ins and a silver Honda with different license plates was identified as a suspicious vehicle. One victim also knew Kessler, and when the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office and Tryon Police Department began searching Kessler’s name in South Carolina pawn shops, some of the stolen items were recovered, according to Tryon Police Chief Jeff Arrowood. Kessler was arrested on March 1 in Greenville County. Law enforcement officials credited area residents with helping to solve the case.

Susie House

Ruth B. “Susie” House, 90, of Tryon Estates, Columbus, died peacefully March 24, 2011, at Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum. She was born on May 11, 1920, in New Kensington, Penn., the daughter of Sidney G. and Grace Appleby Menk. She attended New Kensington High School and worked for the Aluminum Company. On June 10, 1940, she married Joseph W. “Joe” House, and they lived in Chicago because of Joe’s work. They joined a church and made several good

friends. When Joe was called into service in World War II, Susie was permitted to accompany him since he was officer rank. They lived in several locations, and when Joe went overseas, she lived with her brother in Paterson, N.J. Following the war, they moved to Munster, Ind. She and Joe joined the First Presbyterian Church in Hammond, Ind., and Lake Hills Country Club. She joined the PEO society and became active with the Girl Scouts. After Joe’s retirement in 1978, they moved to Polk Coun-

ty. They were active members of the Tryon Presbyterian Church and the Tryon Country Club. For several years, she sold real estate. After moving to Tryon Estates, she was active on the library committee and enjoyed bridge and bingo. For more than 25 years, she was a dedicated Hospice volunteer, giving compassion, comfort, support and love to people nearing the end of their lives, and to their families. She was preceded in death by a daughter, Susan Elaine. She is survived by her husband, Joe; four sons, Richard House (Fran)

• Lighter and more contrasting subjects and backgrounds will print better than subjects and backgrounds with similar hues. When possible, keep the background clean and simple, not too cluttered. • Focus on the people in your shots – zoom in on them so that their expressions can be seen. When possible, show people doing things rather than lined up facing the camera. • High-quality (100 or 200 dpi) .jpg formats are preferred, between 3 and 6 inches wide. • When you email the photo, if at all possible, please include in your email the names of all the people in your photo, identified from left to right. Photos without names are less likely to be published.

Let color be your guide during Lake Lanier honors WiLLiams National Nutrition Month While the trees may be bare in March, there are still plenty of colorful and nutritious foods to fill your plate. During the 2011 National Nutrition Month, St. Luke’s Hosptial encourages everyone to add color and nutrients to your meals through this year’s theme: “Eat Right with Color.” “Adding a splash of colorful seasonal foods to your plate makes for more than just a festive meal. A rainbow of foods

creates a palette of nutrients, each with a different bundle of potential benefits for a healthful eating plan,” said Nancy Selvey, one of two registered dietitians at St. Luke’s Hospital. “Healthy eating includes more than counting calories alone. In fact, most children don’t get enough of all the essential nutrients critical to normal growth and development,” said Selvey. “Food variety supplies difAbove: Frank “Boat” Williams is greeted by Gracie Corrigan at the ferent nutrients, so to maximize THE CITY OF SALUDA dedication of the Frank "Boat" Williams Landing at Lake Lanier the the nutritional value of your ADVERTISEMENT OF TAX LIENS Sunday.

• Nutrition month

etables: cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, parsnips, turnips, white-fleshed potato and white corn. Selvey recommends choosing a variety of colors when shopping for seasonal fruits and vegetables. “And for additional options in the color palette, choose frozen or dried fruits and vegetables available throughout the year,” she said.

“Instead of grilled chicken and mashed potatoes, consider painting a more colorful plate, such as grilled chicken topped with salsa, mashed sweet potato, asparagus and spinach salad with orange slices.

Polk 4-H places at state horse bowl, hippology contest

The Bridle Bunch 4-H Club competed in the state horse bowl and hippology contest, placing sixth out of 14 teams. In addition, Bradley Kay placed sixth high individual in horse bowl and Carson Kay placed sixth high individual in hippology, potentially earning them both a spot on the national team. Horse bowl is a competition where 4-H members sit at buzzers. A facilitator asks a question and the first person to buzz in and answer correctly earns a point. An incorrect answer loses a point. Hippology is a written test that tests your knowledge of horses. Front: Kaylie Jennings; back (from left): Abbie Jennings, Jessica Spurling, Bradley Kay and Carson Kay. (photo submitted)
