Wilkie from Catawba County, N.C., built the pretty white frame structure that became Jacksons Grove Church. The church was built of selected timbers from the area and erected by craftsmen. The frame is built from heavy hand-hewn timbers and the walls are wide hand planed boards. The altar, altar rails and the pulpit are made of walnut. The windows and doors are put together with pegs. The building’s two-door design was common in the 1800s in the Smokies and elsewhere.
Generally, a two front door design allowed men to enter and sit on one side of the chapel and women and children on the other. Spring Valley Farm Spring Valley Farm, once known as Bluebound Farm, has many stories to tell. This 46-acre property was once the home of George Webster and his wife Dottie. The late George Webster was the well-known and beloved master of Tryon Hounds. (Continued on page 4)

The farm was eventually sold and the 1830s farmhouse of 750 square feet was transformed with the help of Mill Creek post and beam designers. Today, the 2,750-square-foot structure with 24-foot ceilings features humble materials such as wood, wrought iron and stone. The classically beautiful master suite is a new addition as well as the huge master bath with jacuzzi and chandelier. There are three bedrooms and five bathrooms. The gardens surrounding the home were originally designed as an English garden and play off the dramatic background of farmland. A koi
pond can be heard from a covered porch off the kitchen. The original charms of the barns remain with a total of 20 stalls and the addition of an elegantly furnished guest apartment. Still Point Farm In the late 1940s, Ellis Slater, an executive in the House of Seagram, decided to move from his urban New York surroundings to the countryside of Landrum. He methodically purchased several thousand acres and established Caroland Farms. Carter Brown was employed to design Slater’s home. Brown was a transplant from Michigan, specifically, Metamora Hunt Country. He came to the area (Continued on page 6)

to foxhunt and designed seven homes for members of the hunt, which have become local landmarks. Still Point, finished in the early 1950s, was his last effort. The rustic elegance of the home’s construction materials is a trait for which Carter Brown is best known. Weathered wood salvaged from old barns and rough hewn beams, reclaimed log walls and stone and brick chimneys make up the house. Open fires play quite a role in this household, where there are a total of five fireplaces. The dining room adjacent to the kitchen is framed in beams and painted a brick red with a floor of slate. The spiral staircase, which leads down from the second floor, ends in the great hall with balcony at one end and straw plaster ceilings rising to a peak at least 15 feet above the viewer. A series of paddocks surround the home, making its setting more than ideal for this family of keen horse riders.
Tandem Trail Sited on rolling acres, this Mill Creek Post and Beam Tudorstyle home comes into view as you drive up the hill to the end of the cul de sac. Dan McFerrin designed and constructed this home in 2003. The 2,700-square-foot home has two stories. McFerrin made lavish use of natural stone with curved walkways and a curved stone wall, which goes all the way around behind the house to the two-car garage with a pinepaneled artist’s studio above. The lower half of the house is clad in more natural stone and the upper part is clad in board and batten with shingles in the peaks. The front porch is all stone with mullioned windows clad in wrought iron and has an unusual round-topped door in wroughthewn wood and rusty iron hardware. The great room has a large natural stone fireplace with a heavy wrought stone mantel. To the left in the entrance hall is the

intended outcome of the meeting. “The DA’s office will try to attend more meetings, but they are very short staffed due to the state budget crisis. There will be an attempt to prosecute more child abuse cases but the investigations and the evidence has to be such to support those prosecutions.” Actions that have been taken by Polk County officials since the report was issued included a meeting of DSS officials, Whitson and a Polk County magistrate, who decided DSS workers can and will begin pressing charges against persons with misdemeanor violations, such as parents who do not send their children to school. Charges of neglect will also be filed when a person who is arrested for drivstonelighting - page 2
ing while impaired has a child in the vehicle. “It was a productive meeting,” Whitson said. “The DA’s office will prosecute misdemeanor charges brought by DSS concerning compulsory school attendance law and abuse of juveniles in a vehicle driven by an intoxicated driver who is charged with DUI.” DSS officials said this week they appreciate the opportunity to discuss issues of concern with Hunt and Mundy which were raised by the child protection team report. “More open lines of communication between the district attorney’s office, DSS and law enforcement will bring all of us closer to our goal of improving child protective services in Polk County,” stated a release from DSS. “We look forward to working together more successfully.”

service during his shift as well. Retired chief and current reserve police officer Butch Kennedy was also recognized. Kennedy was selected as law enforcement executive of the year for 2010 for outstanding work and leadership in transforming the Columbus Police Department into a professional, highly trained and well-equipped law enforcement agency. Kennedy quickly worked to hire a staff of veteran, trained and educated officers. The department had more than 120 years total experience at one point, and averaged 20 years of experience per full-time officer. The department also had three officers with bachelor degrees and multiple officers with criminal justice certifications. Kennedy redesigned the de-
partment’s uniforms and patches for a more professional appearance. He updated the vehicle fleet with modern police vehicles and changed the color scheme and stripe package for a safer and more professional appearance. During his tenure, he utilized grant funding to purchase new bullet-proof vests, speed enforcement equipment and impaired driving detection equipment. Under Kennedy’s direction the department moved its operation from the basement of the town hall to a newly renovated building, allowing officers to operate at a higher level. Columbus officials said the town is extremely proud of these officers and congratulates them on jobs well done. Columbus Police Department officials said the department strives to operate at a higher standard and continues to promote professionalism and integrity.

S.C., N.C. win top national awards for job creation The Carolinas were among the hottest areas in the country for economic development last year, according to “Area Development,” a national magazine focused on economic development activity. The magazine awarded South Carolina the Gold Shovel Award and North Carolina the Silver Shovel Award based on the number of high value-added jobs and the amount of investment for projects announced in 2010. South Carolina also was awarded the “Project of the Year” award, giving it both of the magazine’s top honors for the first time. First Quality Tissue’s planned new manufacturing facility in Anderson County, expected to create 1,000 new jobs with $1 billion in investment, was identified as the top project in the country. Following an
extensive site selection process, First Quality Tissue said it chose Anderson County in part because of its proximity to a growing Southeastern market, quality infrastructure and low energy costs. The top 10 projects listed by the magazine for South Carolina in 2010 included a total of 5,975 jobs and $1.94 billion in investment. The top projects in North Carolina included 4,954 jobs with $2.49 billion in investment. The top 10 projects in South Carolina were: 1. Proterra in Greenville County; 2. Dixie Narco in Barnwell County; 3. Johnson Controls in Flor-
ence County; 4. First Quality Enterprises in Anderson County; 5. ZF Group in Laurens County; 6. Caterpillar in Newberry County; 7. CT&T Co. in Spartanburg County; 8. Robert Bosch LLC in Dorchester County; 9. South Carolina Tissue in Barnwell County; 10. Boeing Fabrication Interiors in Charleston County. The top 10 projects in North Carolina were: 1.

Philadelphia will be the third destination offered from Asheville by US Airways, which already operates flights to Charlotte-Douglas International and LaGuardia International in New York. AirTran and American Airlines previously announced plans to add flights from Asheville this year.

The Disaster Unemployment Assistance is available for self-employed business people, farmers and other who may not be covered by traditional unemployment benefits. The state is operating a Disaster Recovery Center to help storm victims. Federal assistance through FEMA is also available to anyone who suffered damage from the strong storms. N.C. Governor Bev Perdue recently announced the state has received a federal disaster declaration for eight more counties affected by the tornadoes and severe storms, bringing the total to 18 counties. Craven, Currituck, Greene, Hertford, Hoke, Pitt, Robeson and Sampson counties were added to the list. Counties previously given the designation were: Bertie, Bladen, Cumberland, Halifax, Harnett, Johnson, Lee, Onslow, Wake and Wilson.

Polk’s Operation Medicine Drop collects about 13,000 pills by Barbara Tilly
Approximately 13,000 old pills were collected locally through Operation Medicine Drop, held March 20-26, according to Ira Hendricks of CVS in Columbus. He said the total was about 10 times the approximately 1,300 pills collected last year. “The event went really well,” Hendricks said. “We got a little of everything, from injectable medications to pain pills and other medications.” Michael Capps of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office agreed that the medicine drop was successful. He said 90 percent of the pills collected were prescription medications. Across the state, more than 2.2 million doses of old prescription and over-the counter drugs were collected during Operation Medicine Drop, more than doubling last year’s amount of 1 million doses, N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper said. “Once again, North Carolina residents cleaned out their medicine cabinets in an effort to keep prescription and over-thecounter drugs out of the hands of those who might abuse them,” Cooper said. “By supporting events like these, we are continuing to get the word out about
jbtrees - page 10
the dangers of prescription drug abuse.” Cooper, the State Bureau of Investigation, local law enforcement agencies, Safe Kids North Carolina, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the River Keepers and the N.C. Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition sponsored more than 200 prescription drug take-back events across North Carolina as part of National Poison Prevention Week. Between 18-20 percent, or 360,000 doses, of the drugs collected were controlled substances such as Hydrocodone, which are among the most heavily abused drugs. Approximately 20 pounds of Fentanyl patches were also collected across the state. One site received a large amount of unidentified prescription medications displaying only Asian text. The drugs were believed to be more than 30 years old. The SBI gathered the drugs collected by local law enforcement agencies and delivered them to WASTEC for disposal. WASTEC is New Hanover County’s Waste-to-Energy conversion facility, and its incinerator is approved by the N.C. Department of Environmental and Natural Resources.

Steps to HOPE offers ways to raise awareness of sexual assault How can we get involved? “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter,” said Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A bystander is a person who is present but not involved: an onlooker, spectator, witness, observer, eyewitness or watcher. Many incidents of sexual violence – from the inappropriate comment at a party to sexual abuse and rape – involve bystanders, or people other than the victim and the perpetrator. While in most cases one person is clearly hurt, often others are affected. A person may have seen or heard something that made him/her feel uncomfortable, but did nothing to intervene. As a result they may be haunted by their missed opportunity to prevent pain and suffering, especially when the event involved a person they love or care about. Bystanders represent a web of people surrounding a progression of inappropriate behaviors, harassment or violence – those who make a choice to speak up or intervene and those who do not. Bystanders can have a powerful impact on sexual violence prevention. How do we increase the number of people who are willing to say or do something in the face
of sexual violence? Bystander programs present opportunities to influence individual decisions across a variety of communities. Some college campuses, familybased service organizations, and faith communities have already established programs designed to help people determine when to intervene, and how to do it safely and effectively. • Build the skills of bystanders to safely interrupt behavior such as sexist and homophobic harassment • Teach parents to address attitudes and behaviors in their children that support sexual violence. • Hold religious and political leaders accountable for providing clear and consistent messages that sexual violence is not appropriate • Implement and enforce sexual harassment and sexual violence prevention practices in schools, workplaces, places of worship and other institutions. • Pass middle and high school policies to offer comprehensive sex education programs that include sexual violence prevention. (www.nsvrc.org) If you are a victim of sexual assault/violence, call Steps to HOPE’s 24-hour crisis line at 828-894-2340. – article submitted

Feed on the freshest produce available During this time of year, many folk’s thoughts turn to mouthwatering fruits and vegetables. By far the most nutritious fruits and veggies come straight from your garden, or from local farmer’s markets. One advantage in having your own garden, is that you can control how and what you grow. I recommend parents grow a garden with their kids. This promotes eating colorful fresh fruits and vegetables. Make it fun for them. Let them help pick out the plants. You could even let your child choose a vegetable using each letter of their name. As a family, you can care for your plants, pick the vegetables, and even cook them together. Another advantage of having a garden with your kids, is it increases their physical activity. Now, let’s turn our attention to the actual buying of fruits and
vegetables in a local store.

Lady Wolverines softball triumphs over Madison 5-2 by Daniel Hecht
Back in action for the first time since returning from spring break, the Lady Wolverines resumed play at home Wednesday, April 27, squaring off against conference rival Madison County. Just shy of three weeks ago, in Marshall, the Lady Patriots defeated Polk County for the 10th consecutive time, edging the Lady Wolverines in a 3-2 heartbreaker. When asked during pregame warm-ups if her team was itching for payback, Polk’s Haley Champion refused to take the bait. Instead, the senior captain just smiled and replied, “It’s going to be a good game.” Champion’s prediction proved to be spot on, as a large crowd was treated to a thoroughly entertaining battle between two talented softball teams. The Lady Patriots jumped out to the early 1-0 lead, touching up Polk fireballer Jamie Hrobak for two hits in the first, as Shelby Metcalf doubled down the right field line and was driven home by cleanup hitter Carrie Gentry’s base hit up the middle. Polk managed to draw even in the bottom of the second, as Cassie Couch ripped a double to the gap in right center and then
“We’re having fun. We just feel like we’re getting better, and having fun doing it. We feel like we’re all pulling in the same direction and it’s a good atmosphere.” -- Polk Head Coach Jeff Wilson

scored on a Kara Garvin RBI double to the same location. The score remained knotted at one apiece until Madison broke the deadlock in the top of the fifth. Leadoff hitter Makeyla Drewnoski laid down a perfect bunt, stole second and then scored on a base hit by Hannah Burnett, giving the Lady Pats a one run advantage at the end of four and a half. After back-to-back Madison errors put Polk runners at the corners to lead off the bottom of the fifth, Shalyn Brown
laid down a sacrifice bunt that scored Brittany Jones from third and tied the score at two all. With two outs, Alyssa Montgomery came up huge, lashing an Allie Leake changeup through the middle, scoring Casey McDowell from third for the go-ahead run. Cleanup hitter Hrobak put the icing on the cake, crushing a Leake offering over the fence in left center for a two-run homer, giving the Lady Wolverines the 5-2 conference victory. “We’re having fun,” said
head coach Jeff Wilson following the game. “We just feel like we’re getting better, and having fun doing it. We feel like we’re all pulling in the same direction and it’s a good atmosphere.” Hrobak picked up her 14th win of the year and the 43rd of her career, striking out 10 while walking just three. The Lady Wolverines improve to 14-4 on the season overall, and are now tied with Madison for second place in the Western Highlands conference with a record of 7-3.

Cardinals take home two more region championships by Joey Millwood
Wednesday night at Landrum High School was all about dominance. The Cardinals hosted the Region II-1A track meet and came away with two more region championships. The girls won their 12th straight region championship by scoring 166 points. Christ Church made it a little closer than in years past, Landrum coach Martha Dorman said. “It’s awesome (to win again),” Dorman said. “We have the best kids in the world. They keep coming out here and working hard.” The Lady Cardinals had three individual region champions. Savanna Lapan won the shot put, Shelby Morris won the pole vault and Kelsey Spicer won the triple jump. The boys won their 12th region championship. The last time they didn’t win the championship was in 2000. Even with all that success, this team is special, head coach Russell Mahaffey said. “This is probably the strongest team in the last decade,” Mahaffey said. The Cardinals won the 4x100, 4x400 and the 4x800. Individu-
ally, the Cardinals had seven individual champions. Chris Downey was in the back of the pack in the 400-meter dash, but found some inspiration on his feet. The senior was wearing a pair of rainbow-colored socks. “(The socks) were given to me by a friend,” he said. “She told me they possess magical powers.” That magic trickled down to the rest of the Cardinals on Wednesday. Other winners were Cole McDowell in the triple jump, Christian Johnson in the 100-meter hurdles, Derek Belue in the shot put, Hunter Conley in the high jump and Peyton McCarter won two events including the 100-meter dash and the 200-meter dash. The Cardinals now have a bit of a swagger as they go forward to the Upper State finals and a potential shot at the State finals. “We have a strong team that could win state,” McDowell said. That was reiterated by the events the last two days. “We have a player going to Upper State in every event,” boys coach Mahaffey said. Upper State will take place at 11 a.m. on May 7 at Landrum High School.

Landrum United Methodist Youth luau, auction April 30 The Landrum United Methodist Church Youth will host a luau and basket auction on Saturday, April 30 at 6 p.m. The luau will feature a dinner and both a silent and live auction. Church officials said last year’s basket auction and dinner was a great success for the youth group. The dinner and auction is a fundraiser for the Salkehatchie Summer Service project. For more than 10 years, LUMC has sent youth from the church to other areas of South Carolina to work on
rehabilitating homes that need it. The last few years the homes have been in the Cayce-West Columbia area. The fee for each camper is more than $200 and supplies are needed to repair roofs, flooring, plumbing and paint. Baskets, buckets and other containers of all shapes and sizes filled with great items will be available for sale. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased from any member of the LUMC Youth group or the church office. – article submitted

Symphony of Rutherford County presents spring concert May 1 The Symphony of Rutherford County, under the direction of Wilbert K. Kimple, will present its annual spring concert on Sunday, May 1 at 3 p.m. at the Foundation Performing Arts Center on the campus of Isothermal Community College. This year’s spring concert will feature an original composition, “A Blue Ridge Tapestry,” written by clarinetist Bill Flanders. Flanders has dedicated the piece to conductor Kimple and to the symphony as a whole. Flanders describes the composition as “one with roots from the Celtic tradition. Western North
Carolina was settled by families from the British Isles, bringing with them their traditions and music from the ‘Old Country.’ Although ‘A Blue Ridge Tapestry’ is original, the audience will hear this familiar style found in traditional Celtic music, which over the years has transitioned to what is now known as Appalachian and Bluegrass.” In addition to “A Blue Ridge Tapestry,” the symphony’s spring concert will feature several other selections, including the final movement of Beethovan’s “Symphony No. 6 (The Pastoral),” “Grand March
from ‘Tannhauser,’” by Wagner, “Artist’s Life” by Johann Strauss and “Poet and Peasant Overture” by von Suppe. The program will also contain a number of modern pieces from Broadway shows and movies. These include “A Tribute to John Williams,” a medley of themes from such well-known movies as “Star Wars,” “Jaws,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Harry Potter.” Also included will be a medley of selections from “Les Miserables” and “Memory” from “Cats.” The Symphony of Rutherford County is a multi-gen-
erational volunteer orchestra. Founded in 1988, the orchestra is completing its 23rd year of advancing its mission of serving the community through music and music education. The orchestra prides itself on its inclusiveness, requiring no auditions for membership. Anyone who plays an orchestral instrument and who is willing to devote Saturday mornings (Sept. - April) to rehearsals is welcomed to join. All concerts provided by the symphony are free and open to the public. – article submitted

Finding adult day care that works for you Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about adult day care for seniors? My 82-year-old father, who lives with us, has dementia and needs attention during the day while we’re at work. Looking for Care Dear Looking, Adult day care is a great and affordable option for caregivers who work, or those who just need a break during the day. Here’s what you should know. A growing trend The business of adult day care has been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years. Just 30 years ago, there were only around 300 adult day care centers in the United States. Today there are around 4,600 that serve an estimated 260,000 people. As the name implies, “adult day care” provides care for elderly seniors who cannot care for themselves at home. While services will vary from center to center, they typically provide custodial care, meals, various activities and social interaction in a safe supportive environment. Additionally, many centers also provide health services such as medication management, various therapies, exercise and more. Adult day care centers generally operate programs during normal business hours five days a week, although some centers may offer services in the evenings and on weekends, too.
Savvy Senior Affordable care Depending on where you live and the center you choose, adult day care costs anywhere from $25 to $150 per day (the national average is $67/day), which is more affordable than hiring a home health aide which averages $21 per hour nationally or $168 for an eight-hour day. Unfortunately, Medicare does not currently pay for adult day care so your financial assistance options are either private long-term care insurance, or some states offer Medicaid waiver programs.
How to choose Your first step in shopping for an adult day center is to determine the kinds of services your father and you need, and can afford. After you do that, here are some tips to help you locate and choose a good provider: Finding a center: Start with your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-677-1116 to get your local number), or local Alzheimer support groups (visit alz.org to search) for referrals. Or check your Yellow Pages under Adult Day Care or Seniors Services. Call: Once you have a list of a few centers, call them to find out their eligibility criteria, if they are accepting new clients, their hours of operation, if they’re licensed and/or registered with a state agency (this is not required in all states), what they charge and the
types of services they provide. Visit: After you find a few centers that can meet your father’s needs and budget, go in for a visit. Find out about the staffing ratio (at least one staff member for every six participants is recommended) and what kind of training they have. While you’re there, notice the cleanness and smell of the facility. Does the staff seem friendly and knowledgeable? Also be sure to taste the food, and consider making an unannounced Strauss & Associates, PA visit. Planning Does Ask Estate about transportation: and Administration the center provide transportation Attorneys to and from the facility, or is Preserving andthrough transportation available Protecting other sources? Your Assets Inquire about discounts: Many centers also offer discounts if you prepay and register for multiple days per week. Ask for references: Talk to two or three families who have used the center you are considering. Savvy Tip: The National Adult C.

WhAt iS PRobAtE? Q. What is probate anyway? a. In a nutshell, the probate process is a court proceeding that establishes the validity of a will and provides oversight to ensure accuracy in accounting for a decedent's assets, fairness in the treatment of heirs, and protection for the rights of the decedent's creditors. the process begins with the presentation of the will and can take on average 6 to 12 months. Of course this depends on the complexity of the estate and whether there are any challenges to the will. It is not necessary to hire a lawyer for every probate. If the assets are simple and there are no tax or other complexities and the executor is available in the state and has the time and capacity to handle the matters that arise, the executor can complete the process without attorney involvement.

Polk County, were doing something about it. According to the FSA, North Carolina’s farmers and producers were already working the soil and living the message of natural resource management before it was fashionable.
